[HTC One S] aras1:
hey guys

i have the opportunity to change my 2months old galaxy nexus against a brand new htc one s without paying something.

would you buy the one s over the galaxy nexus or are you happy with your one s
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
the galaxy nexus is a great phone. The one s is also a great phone..

if you can get the one s and it wont cost you a penny. do it

i got my one s for free too, Otherwise i probably would have stuck with my old phone (sensation)

but hey you got nothing to lose
[HTC One S] jajaofopobo:
I'm also in the same boat. If i still like the One S After checking it out a T-mobile store (im a bit worried about the screen). I am confident ill find someone willing to swap for a galaxy nexus :D
[HTC One S] tibere86:
+1 for being in the same boat. The only thing holding me back is a few reviews I have read made mention of the sub-average reception on the HTC One S.
[HTC One S] FRuiTBoOT:
The reception issue was addressed by T-Mobile and a fix or correction to the software will be made to the handsets before the customers receive their phones. But I'm just recycling information. I take reviews with a grain of salt as far what people have to say about screen and such. Everyone has an opinion and compares said A to Said B. Check the phone out, if you like it get it. If not there are many other phones out there. Enjoy technology!

Cheers.

How much do you enjoy installing roms?
[HTC Wildfire S] karfi:
Try to relock your boot loader, with command fastboot oem lock.

Then try to run RUU again.
[HTC Wildfire S] rkloost:
The error 155 seems fixed.

Now I get an error 131 :(

Suppose it is time to rename the rom.zip I recovered to PG76IMG.zip and try to flash it?

so create gold card and reflash the phone?

Regards,

[HTC Wildfire S] rkloost:
Gold card succesfully created, but still no succesfull flash :(

Main Version is older!

Main version is older!

Update fail!

The phone is still rooted. CWM installed and reinstalled via rommanager

Can anyone give me an advice on howto proceed?

Is there a way to circumvent Main version is older?

Is it possible to make a dumpfile from misc or so, which can be hex-edited, if so which raw-device I have to cat into an img-file?

I had the same problem, with BL unlocked, you do not need gold card.

extract the rom.zip

Copy:

boot.img

system.img

to your computer Android directory (where you have fastboot and adb, you need to download them)

boot WFS into hboot, mark fastboot, hit power button and attach usb cable

now open a command shell in the computer:

fastboot flash boot boot.img <-- will flash kernel and boot

fastboot flash system system.img <-- will flash stock rom

now go to hboot, factory reset and restart

hello everyone

last night i installed the stock image 4.0.4 using FASTBOOT

and it's done seccussfuly BUT...

there is no recovery :confused::confused::confused:

i used FASTBOOT to install CWM and used it to root my phone

but every time i reboot i don't get any recovery at all

all i find is green android with red triangle and exclamation mark :(

how i can restore my recovery :( ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
That is the stock recovery.

You have to press both volume buttons (and power?) to enter recovery.

But try flashing with Rom Manager if you still have root access.

If not...

Use my guide (sig) to get SU again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ahmad.afef:
i had 4.0.2 with CMW recovery

then i flashed CM9

then i had the signal bug

and i heared about the fix

so i downloaded the 4.0.4 Stock rom

tell now every thing ok

then i downloaded the SU.ZIP and went to fastboot mode then recovery to install the zip, but it wasn't there

so i downloaded the recovery.img for CMW the normal one and the touch one

and flashed them using fastboot

it worked but when i restart the phone it just disaper :confused:

and i do have root access ans i flashed the CWM using rom manager

it show successfully installed but there is no recovery :(

to access recovery i press vol+, vol-, and power then select Recovery mod

thanx for the fast reply :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ahmad.afef:
i tried "fastboot erase recovery" then "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

and didn't work

then downloaded the 4.0.2 rom but still no recovery

here is the log:

then i root it and downloaded the rom manager to flash CWM recovery mod

and it worked :confused:

now how can i update to 4.0.4 without losing my recovery :( ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bwcorvus:
The problem you are having is that the stock os overwrites recovery everytime you boot. You need to flash a rooted stock ROM, flash a rooted kernel, or delete recovery-boot.p file from the system folder.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ahmad.afef:
interesting...

i'll try it and post a reply

thanx alot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tmwtp:
And the winner is ??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ahmad.afef:
sorry i forgot about it

i didn't found the file i have to remove but what i did is

1- booted the recovery IMG using fastboot

2- installed new rom

3- installed recovery

and now it's fine
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tmwtp:
Thanks ahmad.afef.

I did have success with bwcorvus solution :)

This 3 commands did the job:

1) mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

2) cd /system

3) mv recovery-from-boot.p recovery (inside /system)

Works like a charm and recovery does not get deleted every time I boot.

Suceess ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ahmad.afef:
yah back then i would never understand what is

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

thats why i did the boot thing

now i quit understand a bit of ADB commands

any way, it's good to know :D

Just to clarify, that file does not exist on a stock ROM -- it only appears if you've ever applied an OTA update.
[Desire HD General] TomAshby:
Hello.

The other day i dropped my phone and it just shattered the glass on the screen.

I'm still using it (but getting little shards in my thumbs regularly) but i'm just wondering what i actually need to get to fix it; is it the digitizer or is it the LCD as well (or are they the same thing). I found this:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-HTC-D...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item564688b2a0

Is this all i need? And do you think i would be able to do it myself? I don't have much experience with this sort of thing but i took apart my Macbook pro and the disk drive once. (Not the same scale i know...)

Thanks
[Desire HD General] trh1341:
Yes just need the digitizer..and watch a disassembly video to know how
[Desire HD General] TomAshby:
Thank you. So the digitiser is the glass basically?

Thomas
[Desire HD General] hatemk:
Yes, the digitizer is the gorilla glass layer over the screen. It is responsible for the touch functionality in your device. If pictures on your screen are shown correctly and there isn't any dead pixel then your screen is intact and need not be replaced.
[Desire HD General] pitone02:
In all disassembly videos i see skipped the step where touchscreen is separated from lcd...

this step it's not so simple to do.

you need to melt the glue under under the touchscreen....

in some video is said to put in oven....10 minutes at 60 degree...but i didn't have success with disassembly these two parts
[Desire HD General] tamerg:
yeah, that step is difficult. I used a swiss knife blade (the small one) and could seperate the digitizer. I didnt put it in the oven or sun. But i guess its easier if u do. Just hold the knife steady parallel to the device.

I used double sided gluestrips to reatatch the digitizer but still the screen shows up a notch at the bottom of the device....seen this on many repaired DHD...so i think its very difficult to get a DHD where you dont see that its screen was replaced....
[Desire HD General] amin5:
some part of the screen not function

some part of my touch screen not working. is this due to a dead pixels? if not what wil the cause of it?

Appreciate if you can assit to explain n perhaps some solution & advise.

I have a samsung galaxy note and accidentally a tried to install a samsung galaxy SII firmware and my device got bricked. and it does not boot in recovery mode or download mode. the screen is blank and the device will not boot into any mode.

I am looking for a solution to unbrick the device from my windows pc without buying anything.

is there any software to unbrick the samsung Galaxy Note?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eug3n91:
Hm...no mate...sorry... I think this sort of is it for your device... Flashing S2 firmwares on the Note does have that effect.

You could try a JIG, although it's a longshot, but most certainly be ready to take it to Sammy's service center. Say something went wrong while updating through Kies, although they might figure it out.

If they do figure it out, you're probably looking at a new motherboard, in the area of 200$ from what other users in similar situations have reported.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viditkalra:

The tab is very laggi, after booting there are up to 10 appilication running. Sometimes i have the feeling that the screen is freezing and i have a 500 single core cpu running.

[Android General] janeindiran:
Most of apps we open are not killed when we exit. So it runs on the background occupying memory and draining battery, potentially reducing our phones performance. ADVANCED TASK KILLER app kills all the apps and provides existing features:D one the best working task killerers:)
[Android General] n1newbie:
each time task killer kills an app it consumes a lil battery. and the app starts again. so again it consumes a lil battery. so its no use in having a task killer.... i used them before but not using it now.
[Android General] janeindiran:
You are right but it has an option which kills the apps when screen goes off.

Once it kills, it stops its work and will work only when you open a new app and when your screen goes off. It just uses 2's of your battery life. i am using DEFY its battery life has improved. Only 50% drain in 24 hours with normal usage.
[Android General] royrob69:
it's better not to use task killer, they use more battery than apps in background
[Android General] zer0day:
Not to be rude, but you obviously have no idea how Android manages applications. Read this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=678205

The only reasonable time imo to use a task killer is when an app misbehaves.
[Android General] janeindiran:
Read that one.. It says when new app is started memory will be made available.I agree with that.

The reason i use task killer is, when memory is low visual effects get a huge lag and freeing memory at a touch is easy, so i use it. Most people have this problem when they run out of memory.

Any suggestions for this problem?? If there is a solution kindly post it will be useful for everyone.
[Android General] prboy1969:
Just do a quick search on XDA, or Google. You will see that Task Killers do more harm than good. They interfere with Androids built in memory manangement. In the end they use more Memory, and Battery than they save. If you want something for better memory manangement try the V6 SuperCharger. It will not disappoint you.

[Android General] janeindiran:
I tried V6 supercharger its great, no lags. But it drains battery quickly than before.

Whats the best config??
[Android General] prboy1969:
It depends on your device. I aleays lean towards the more consetvative settings. The battery seeming to drain faster should level off as thing get settled in.

Taks Killers

You don't need a task-killer, they can be very detrimental... if you are worried about battery life, try using Juice Defender Ultimate. been running it for over a year, and battery life has been outstanding since I installed it. As far as memory management goes - never had an issue with the way android handled memory. Everything I use has always been available when I wanted it, and it has always ran smoothly.

If you're having problems with memory, you may want to take a look at what you have installed on your device - an over abundance of apps all running in the background checking everything you can imagine will take a toll.
[Android General] n3fox:
+1 task killer is not good for the battery. Some apps use more battery for kill them by keep the task...

Hi,

I recently installed V6 supercharger on my arc LT15i which wasn't quite what I wanted it to be, as my launcher is now fairly erratic (using go launcher ex btw). With reference to the other memory tweaking options available, e.g. sysTune although I also have SetXperia, does anyone have any IO/virtual memory settings that they swear by? Ideally, I'm looking for help with read ahead entries, swappiness, dirty ratio, dirty background ratio, dirty writeback centisecs, vfs cache pressure, min free kbytes etc. ......

After wandering around looking for an android build of the file command, I finally went ahead and compiled it myself.

Refs:

source: file website (www_darwinsys_com/file/)

compiling: Native Vim on Android (gdr_geekhood_net/gdrwpl/vim-android.php)

Note: Add the location of libmagic.so to LD_LIBRARY_PATH to get rid of the "CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE" error. (I use /data/local/lib)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] osm0sis:
Any luck? I think it only needs libmagic statically linked to be portable; the other NDK/Bionic stuff can probably stay dynamic to keep the filesize down. I see file 5.17 source is available now too if you wanted to update your builds to the latest. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Computoncio:
If you want only the system file type, the workaround i use is this (eval $(/sbin/blkid /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 | /sbin/awk ' { print $3 } '); /sbin/busybox echo $TYPE)

In a script just add a var like this

TYPE=$(eval $(/sbin/blkid /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 | /sbin/awk ' { print $3 } '); /sbin/busybox echo $TYPE) and you will have the FS type in $TYPE.
