[Defy General] [] AL []:
hold volume down button then press the power button. At the android with exclamation mark screen, press both volume buttons at once and then you should be in stock recovery..where the full wipe should be done (before sbf flashing...).

Let's hope that you did not empty your battery... If you did, I don't recommended the McGuyver method: get a pin wallcharger or a friend's battery.

And lastly, go easy on sbf flashing.. Defy is almost impossible to brick [thank you locked bootloader] but sbd flashing can lock you in an undowngradable state...
[HTC One X] drRoetker:
I've got the One X for about a month now, but I keep getting this issue now and then, and it's really really annoying.

It always happens in morning, and I only notice it when my low-battery signal goes off (this morning at 10:00 already). The phone feels very warm, and it's already depleted to 10%. When checking battery usage, it says "Mediaserver" used 85% of the energy!

Now this morning, I didn't play any music or watch any photo or video. On the tram to work, I only used a coupe apps (Engadget, Tweakers, Nu.nl (news site), "volvo ocean race game", autoblog.nl and a soccer app (voetbal international)). But I've used these same sites on my Desire and never had a problem with them.

It's a really annoying problem, and I don't seem to be able to turn of "mediaserver" untill my battery dies before lunch! I don't have a desk job (doctor in hospital) so I don't have any means to recharge during the day...

Now this doesn't happen every day, but 4 times already (that's once every week!).

Please help!
[HTC One X] treebill:
i have had it once, seems it gets locked in with you play sounds. have you tried a factory reset might help.
[HTC One X] zvieratko:
Try clearing data of all media applications (gallery, music etc...).

I guess your media index got corrupted, this happened to me before and this is how I solved it. I actually saw the reason in logs.

Install OS Monitor from the market and take a look at the logs of mediaserver
[HTC One X] drRoetker:
No haven't tried a factory reset, wish it wouldn't have to come to that. But a normal reset did solve the problem sometimes. And I haven't played any sounds this morning, however only when muting the phone with the volume rockers i do get a sounds...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jdpdata:
So I just got a SBKv2 TF101 (C30) couple days ago. I like the unit, but unfortunately it is suffering from the same issues some of you guys have - RR, SOD, light bleed.:rolleyes:

From my research on this forum, there doesn't seems to be any real fixes for these issues. So rather than messing with it any further, I want to return this for a refund.

How do I complete wipe my unit of all personal info and return it to stock? So far this is what I've done to my device.

1. Root via ViperMod option 1

2. Install OTA Rootkeeper.

3. Updated to latest firmware .21

4. Install CWM via RecoveryInstaller.

I'm following this Guide but the info seems quite dated. Don't want to brick my device.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
Download the official firmware from Asus website, extract the zip file from inside.

Put it on the sd card and flash it via CWM (wipe data, cache and dalvik cache before hand).

Once done you'll be on stock unroot with stock recovery.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jdpdata:
Thanks man, you've been very helpful.

Can I flash Firmware: V9.2.1.17?

I'm currently on v9.2.1.21. I assume I can't downgrade to lower version.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pkfox:
CWM doesn't care if you're upgrading or downgrading it just does what its told
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigboy96:
i got a sprint samsung galaxy s 2. and last night i think i put a wrong kernel on it all i am able to to is reboot it like if i was going to install from sd card or load from odin only info i can see is it says ICS SIYAHKERNEL and CWMR TOUCH V5.5.0.4 can someone help me out with a tar kernel so i can get my phone working

thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Sounds like you put the wrong firmware on you phone! IF you have a Sprint Epic 4G Touch you must put on the firmware that is specific to it. If you flashed another ROM, Kernel, or other software (ATT?)etc. you have probably just made an expensive paper weight.

PLEASE take some time to read, read again and then read thoroughly through the many stickies and posts here.

IF

you do have the Epic 4G Touch (whick is why I'm assuming you are posting here and said Sprint) AND you can get into download mode (Volume down and power button at same time till you see the Samsung logo then let go) then you should try to use sfhub's one-click Odin for EL29 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1433101 use the 'Reset Data' option and hopefully you will have your phone back. Watch Qbking77's videos too!

Otherwise take it back and tell them something happened and plays stupid.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PanchoPlanet:
Not enough info. More info so you can get some help, like exact model of phone, source for whatever it was that you flashed or odined into your phone.

Pp.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greeneguys:
probably the best advise you'll get right here
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JonnyNuklZ:
"Read, Read again, Read some more!" this is the number one thing to do before ever even beginning the flashing process. I think I read and followed the threads for a couple months before ever trying to flash a new rom on my E4GT.

Then I made sure to go to the Settings>about Phone and wrote down everything, or take a picture of it whatever works. Then Watch any video associated with what you are doing until you have a good idea of what you are gonna do and the process that needs followed, and never skip a wipe if it says to do it!

For me I went with the "one click" method quoted above, because I found it to be the best, safest, and simplest tbh.

Then I followed the directions for install Clockwork after that, the easiest i found was e4gtauto-lite! This is a must have, as well as the paid version of Titanium Backup! e4gtauto will give you the recovery console you need to make a nand backup of your "working" phone in case something craps out.

Then you can reboot to recovery if it isn't totally bricked and restore your backup!

I also make folders for each rom i install and setup on my pc so I can put the related items such as backups, themes, modems etc for that specific rom in there in case my backup on my phone gets corrupted! < I think this is a must, at least for me!

Enough Long winded, wanted to share what I found worked for me! That way you hopefully only have to "play dumb" at Sprint once, if at all! Do the one click Odin from the quoted post from download mode if you can get in then once up and running follow directions at that post for the CWM install.

Last but not least read the Rom threads carefully before flashing them, a screenshot may look cool but 100 pages in you may find that others are having issues that you may care to avoid!

Hope this helps!

They are having a live stream. I think it's 2:00 EST not 3 but not sure. So only a couple minutes away I believe.

Just a suggestion but you should update your OP to include the link for the live stream so no more threads about this are made.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jamolah:
It's actually happening right now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mossination:
I know. I feel giddy. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] IEatKittys!:
Gizmodo and Engadget already have little reviews on it. I'm kind of disappointed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kagenui:
watch it live http://www.technobuffalo.com/companies/samsung/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-liveblog/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jamolah:
Same here...

I'm surprised they didn't bump the camera specs by at least a bit. I get that MegaPixels aren't everything. But in the world of tech, megapixel numbers do actually make a difference to the general public.

I was also expecting a little bit more ground breaking design. Or ground breaking something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dakpluto:
This phone feels drastically short on some key areas.

No Plus screen?

Camera is more software upgrade than hardware.

Not only lack of software buttons...but PHYSICAL home button? At least go full capacitive like the Skyrocket.

The "Siri-like" features already feel like they are old news. They shouldn't be a major draw. And as somebody who had Siri, it gets old fast.

This just really isn't a pretty phone...looks almost plain and boring...or just generally unoriginal. A little Galaxy, a little Nexus, that's about it.

I have to say it...I think they left the door wide open for Apple to amaze people with the next iPhone keynote. This announcement felt like a lot of smoke and mirrors to cover up that there really is barely anything new with this phone at all.

In one bit of news though...I noticed Touchwiz had some new looks to it. Didn't look like enough to call it Touchwiz 5, but more like a 4.1. Interested if we will get it at some point.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LordGeek:
Ground breaking news would be .. 12mp + camera .. whether or not they are able to keep the quad-core for 4G/LTE (unlike HTC's flop) .. don't really care about the rest.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] geoldr:
Agreed. I am also disappointed.

Although that new touchwiz looks nice. Hopefully we can get it ported over or something
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tomtommy306:
Nothing really new that isn't already out. The international one x is very similar in spec wise except for memory. Sammy failed to amaze this time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JL13:
thanks samsung. you made my decision to stick with the skyrocket a lot easier =)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jamolah:
I'll 2nd that.

I think iPhone will dazzle once again.

I don't understand why other companies can NOT innovate like Apple can.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] iceman4357:
Especially when a lot of the hardware that goes into Apple is manufactured by Samsung, lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] slotstik04:
Samsung really pulled an Apple here..didn't they!? All the hype, and then a huge disappointment.. man is this thing just plain UGLY
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dakpluto:
Well, honestly this is probably part of it. There is probably quite a bit of non-competing clauses and patent issues mingled in there. And the Apple load keeps them so busy it's probably harder than it seems to work on their own unique stuff. They make a wonderful CPU or screen for Apple...and then probably lock themselves out of doing any of that on their own products. So they have to find ways around it. I can tell you my company deals with similar type issues sometimes. Making money off your competition isn't always as wonderful as it sounds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LordGeek:
Well .. the GOODNESS just disappeared from my point of view.

Found the full specs up on PhoneArena (http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III_id6330).. confirmed what I feared .. nothing new at all, same as the HTC One series.

Quad-Core yes .. NO LTE SUPPORT !!!!!!

12MP + camera NO .. same ole 8MP and 1.9MP !!!!!! I thought Samsung was one of the pioners of cameras !!!!!! Well, they certainly ain't showing it.

Sticking with my Skyrocket .. until something REALLY IMPRESSIVE is released.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] slotstik04:
Also, I doubt the home button would be there when it comes over seas to the US. It always turns into full capacitive when it hits here. So atleast it won't be nearly as ugly as the international version. But still.. nothing made me want to go out and buy the s3 at all
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JustinUhhh:
When buying a phone its not all about the numbers, if the software behind the camera improves the camera over the S2, then who cares if its an 8 or 12 or 41 megapixel camera? If it has DOUBLE the processing and graphics power of the S2 how is that disappointing? If it makes a huge improvement over google voice actions to make it MUCH more user friendly, again how is this disappointing? I'd say it is the best android phone, and definitely better than the iphone. So for at least the next 2-3 months until the iPhone 5 is released this is the undisputed champ of smartphones. And all people can say is disappointment because there isn't a 5 ghz processor and a 50mp camera? From the reviews i've read of people ACTUALLY USING THE PHONE instead of looking over spec sheets, they all love it. Spec sheets mean nothing when your phone is in use, they are just talking points. If the phone works beautifully (all indications are that it does) then why are we disappointed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dakpluto:
Honestly, other than 5MP vs 8MP cameras...I don't really see how this is any better than a Nexus. In fact, depending what you want out of your phone, I think plenty of people would find the GN or Skyrocket better than the S III, especially at the price difference that will be present.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LordGeek:
Justin .. my gripe in all this is not the fact that it could out perform all the market phones and is (basically as you put it) "user friendly" .. my gripe is .. with todays building technologies in regards to the spectrum of communications and the frequencies that are coming out, not just for AT&T, but for TMO, Verizon .. and yes, even Sprint .. this phone will be CHOPPED just like HTC's One series just to work with the LTE spectrum.

Now, why would someone who has LTE .. downgrade there phone just to get a phone thats "user friendly" .. and basically will end up with the exactly same specs as what we have now ??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tomtommy306:
You are one of the few here that actually think that. We here at XDA are all about innovation and ground breaking specs.... The SGS3 is none of this. Just more of the same.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JustinUhhh:
I don't understand what you guys wanted from them lol. A 2ghz 6 core processor? That would provide no real world advantage over the one they have? The ridiculous rumors of a 1080p screen? What would impress you? And of course there will be different models for all the different carriers and their respective wireless technologies, but that is no fault of samsungs blame the carriers lol. Even if this comes to AT&T with a dual core snapdragon S4 instead of the quad core exynos, the performance will be virtually identical. Just because a processor has more cores DOES NOT make it better. Just because its 10MP instead of 8MP DOES NOT make it better. I'm on XDA to make my phone better, not to whine for unneeded specs from the manufacturers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jamolah:
I actually agree with you on all of the points. Very true. I mean this thing will still come with quad-core, 1GB RAM, HD screen. BUT....

Apple always seems to dazzle or spin their product to seem that much better. I think Samsung really had the chance to jump out way ahead of everything out there (including iPhone). They have great momentum with the Galaxy S, S2...

The S3 will sell like hotcakes, no doubt about it. But I feel like other companies seem to follow apple (in some ways) instead of trail-blazzing. Or they need to market better than apple. Take voice actions it was out before SIRI yet Apple made voice commands more popular. The Android guys need to take note of this. Samsung is trying, but it needs to do that bit more to jump out way ahead.

Other than the quad-core there is nothing on the GS3 I want over my current SkyRocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] :
Justin were saying if you create a flagship phone make it the same all around change the radio for cdma GSM ok but other than that it should have same specs to push a phone on tech if its not ready for current Gen. Why release it a flagship that's downgraded is silly
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tomtommy306:
No one is whining here bud! You are fairly new here so I will cut you some slack for that statement. I merely wanted to see a totally different design. Better camera. Better screen.... (It's not an AMOLED + so it will not be the same). Power on it is fine, but everything else is already here. LOOK at GNEX or hTc one X.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mossination:
Lol how about we all just wait for full reviews.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dakpluto:
Software Buttons over hardware (why go backwards?)

Super Amoled Plus screen over non-plus. Again, this is nothing more than just a different size version of GN screen.

Processor improvement would be nice (although I won't deny that the Snapdragon isn't nice) But again, this is the flagship, some boost would be nice.

Camera...eh, I won't argue a ton on it. although it feels like Skyrocket Camera with GN software. Again, just doesn't feel new.

S-Voice feels old...Siri is a fun toy but honestly not amazingly practical.

Basically, everything on this phone just feels more like pieces of Galaxy Nexus and Skyrocket put together as opposed to anything actually feeling new.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JustinUhhh:
Lol i'm the only one here who is happy with the phone they presented, so I guess specs are more important than actual performance..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] :
Yes yes they are software can be rebuilt hardware on these not so much
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jamolah:
I don't think I have to wait on the review to tell you this phone will be the fastest and most capable on the market, even better than the iPhone 5. But what Samsung is forgeting is it needs to shake things up, it needs to innovate to make it the market leader. So other companies copy it. I mean it has the resources and money, why can't it do this. Why can't HTC, why can't SONY. Why is it only apple that can do this kind of stuff. I really don't understand.

A different design would have definetley done, that. This looks like just a slightly rounded Skyrocket.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] slotstik04:
Exactly. We're stuck with hardware. Its already going to be lagging behind when it comes to hardware in just a few months if that is considered their flagship device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] :
Patents friend patents they are why innovation has been hindered everybody suing everybody over nothing just to keep competition from innovating so they dont have to innovate themselves
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tomtommy306:
Yep!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dakpluto:
Faster and better than a phone not even out and kept under very tight lock and key. Interesting....tell us more about the iPhone 5.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jamolah:
I know a guy, that knows another guy that knows this dude that was friends with my brother. He says the iPhone won't be that fast. #JustSayin'
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] GoobyPLS:
I really wish the design was made alot differently :/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cschmitt:
Personally, I think a design similar this would have shaken things up a bit. Plenty of room in there for 5000mah battery, octa-core processor, tape backup, whatever else.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JustinUhhh:
Don't forget the 100 mp camera. The biggest let down of this release. How could they leave it out. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bikram:
The screen kinda sucks compared to HTC One X. One X has LC2 where as S3 has pentile and handset is really ugly :(

Come on sammy just give us the new voice recognition software !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kagenui:
Why are people disappointed over the fact that it physical buttons? And am I the only who thinks that the design is beautiful?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xlazaruzx:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dakpluto:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mossination:
The blue one looks really nice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tomtommy306:
I think the phone looks unfinished. The tiny front button.... the plain backplate. Just all around unfinished looking.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
Don't like it.

The blue is too baby-blue colored. Needs to be either dark blue or black to not be considered a chick-phone (IMO).

The battery cover is the same crappy slippery cover texture as on the Skyrocket.

Only 1GB of RAM. I've seen my phone using nearly 800MB of RAM at times. I really hoped for 1.5GB minimum. Though 1GB is still probably all we need right now.

Wasn't crazy about the looks overall. Looks like a big-ass iPhone.

I do like the "Marble" effect in the coloring though.

I do like that the front camera is upgraded to 2mega pixel with some cool face recognition features.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] riceninja:
the back of the phone looks extremely tacky. like some cheap kids toy

the screen is disappointing...same as the nexus but slightly bigger

would have liked more ram at least. hardware wise this phone only improves on skyrocket in terms of processor.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BaconStep:
blah blah same ****, different toilet
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Lucidmike:
I think a lot of people are reacting to what the display looks under the microscope, and they really shouldn't.

All color is: Hue, saturation, and lightness (aka luminosity). AMOLED, pentax or not, is much better technology that can deliver better saturation, luminosity, while keeping the blacks really black. So just because the diodes are bigger or smaller doesn't necessarily mean it can deliver a better/worse picture.

In other words, it doesn't matter what the diodes look under a microscope because you are really comparing apples to oranges. Seeing how well the Galaxy Nexus looks with a pentile screen, I'm going to guess the screen will be on par with the One X, and the blacks will certainly still be darker on the AMOLED because of how AMOLED technology works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dakpluto:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dakpluto:
Agreed. My problem is that it pretty much feels like I could pull pieces from a skyrocket and a GN and build this exact phone. Nothing feels new at all.
