My S3 came with 50GB of Dropbox free for 2 years. Just saying, that's not really a "feature". The One X came with 25GB I believe. Still I agree that it's a better idea to have a phone turn into a tablet than 2 separate devices in many cases.
[General Topics] Marce979:
HD2 at all! Also iPhone 3 absolutely brilliant.
[General Topics] pangster:
Ofcourse it's a feature?.. it might not be a physical feature - but it *IS* a feature, especially if it is direclty associated with the phone manufacturer (i.e. ASUS Webstorage) - and the original Padfone also came with free cloud storage - so I think ASUS was the first manufacturer to provide cloud based storage?..

the phone/tablet thing is a great idea IMHO - more manufacturers should aim at combining devices for different scenarios.. the physical keyboard option was a good idea on the original Padfone as well: phone -> tablet -> netbook
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ficeto:
As I have my Note with broken /data partition because of the ICS kernel IO bug, I decided to test a few things and possibly hard brick my device so it's easier to get it repaired(replaced).

One of the things I found is that I can use old GGB GT-I9100(SGSII) Sbl.bin to reset the custom counter and get rid of the triangle on any GGB/ICS Note boot loaders/firmware.

Here is how to do it:

You need this zip and a Jig

Inside the zip you will find Odin, PITs for 16 and 32 GB Note and Sbl tars for I9100 and two for N7000 (ICS and GGB).

Reboot your Note into download mode

flash with corresponding pit and repartition I9100_Sbl.tar(in PDA box)

on boot your screen will stay black but you will hear the boot sound

pull out battery, put back in and use the Jig to start Download mode again

screen is still black but after 10 seconds you will be in download and the device will be visible in Odin

flash with corresponding pit and repartition N7000_[your-version]_Sbl.tar(in PDA box)

if after boot the screen still do not light up, pull again the battery, start download with Jig(make sure screen shows now) then reboot the device

enjoy

I recommend closing Odin after every flash and opening it again after the device is in download mode and connected to the PC. Also I am recommending using PIT every time
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sutekidane:
Thanks for the provided instructions. Not that I am doubting your procedures and or findings, but have you tried to replicate the triangle/counter increment and resetting it with this method with success on each try? I am really looking forward to CF's triangle away updated to LPF support and is also eager to try new methods devised by other devs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ficeto:
yes I have tried that ;) would not post it if I was not sure.

CF's method works on ICS only, while this method works on ANY firmware. It uses their own boot loaders after all ;)

Samsung changed theirs later on to not be able to reset just like on the Note from the get-go
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] c8405857:
All data lost?

:p Noob, here. Using PIT and re-partition means that all apps and data is lost or not? And yes, I have flashed absys kernel with Odin PC on GB 2.3.6 LA6. Being lazy has his disadvantages :D.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mubs:
Hey guys,

quick question about bricked phones.

Can their screen be used as a replacement or is the digitizer and all of the components stuck to the front screen bricked too?

Cheers!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alc027:
Depends in what way it's bricked. For example if it died in a lightning strike... who knows? Probably not.

If it died from an rc6 wipe, yes.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mubs:
Thanks for the holy **** fast reply!

Is that a yes, the digitizer/components are bricked

or yes, the digitzer can be used as a replacement.

Thanks again amigo.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaze105:
You should be able to use the digitizer as a replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adamhlj:
So... I am sorry if this has been discussed, but I just found an equalizer in the native music player. Everyone keeps recommending volume+ to boost the sound or a third party equalizer to get better sound, but if you go into Play Music and turn a song on, you get the screen with the album art and whatnot. I noticed the three dots at the top of the screen, so I tapped it. A menu appeared with the following options: Sound Effects, Show Options, Make instant Mix, and Settings. So I tapped on Sound effects. And there it was! I tried doing a search on equalizers, but the only results that came up were posts that had "equal" in the posting. I am not rooted, and I am completely stock. Just a heads up if anyone is irritated with the sound. Also, bass boost and 3D effect only work if you have headphones or speakers plugged in.

I didn't know if it would be better to put this thread here or in apps and themes. So I chose here.

Now if I could only find a way that makes the sound effect for incoming notification NOT completely stop or pause the music for the duration of the notification, I would be so happy!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cistoran:
Sick find, didn't know about this thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Serious_Beans:
Its been there forever. Its musicfx...its been known since ics came out :/.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Yeah I just discovered this too a few days ago. It works FANTASTIC. but too bad it only effects Google music and not the entire phone audio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malibu_23:
Dsp manager is better. And when installed takes the place of music fx.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dublicious:
Not there

Anyone have any idea why this would disappear or how to force it to be there? I have a One XL running the viper rom and beats audio isn't working (yes, I've plugged in headphones) which I don't really care about, I just want this equalizer. I'm assuming the presence of beats (which is useless since it's not working) is preventing the equalizer but I don't know enough about this to be sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmg1001:
Well do you have ICS as in stock ICS?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hydr0X7:
The stock bass bost is pretty awesome, and the equalizer too. It's more than enough from a free tool:p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] liangse:
Sound still not loud enough sadly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josip-k:
1.Flash my mod

2. Flash AwesomeBeats

3.Set compression to extreme and it will gonna be too loud.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jephimax:
I have read a couple of threads regarding 'boot-loop' but I was never successful in finding a similar problem like mine.

Whenever I update my X8 from 1.6 to 2.1, my device goes to boot-loop. It loads till I get to the main screen, then freezes, then reboots again. It goes on until the battery dies.

I used flashtool, PCC, SEUS, but to no avail, the same issue persists. Does anyone know any other way to update my phone, or fix this issue? Am I stuck to the stock ROM 1.6?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimitrisioa:
Well i suggest you to download PC Companion to update your device.Its the safest way to do it and its easy.Follow the on screen instructions.Download it from here:

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NIMBAH:
If you actually read his post you would see he's already tried that.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jephimax:
When I update using PC Companion (PCC) or Update Service (SEUS/US), the update successfully applies but when I turn on the phone, it loads a bit to the main screen, freezes, then goes to a boot-loop.

The same goes when I flash the stock ROM using flashtool, the same problem persists.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mayank77:
Did You Try to "Repair Phone" instead of "Update Phone" when you used PCC ?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jephimax:
I already did sir, same results.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ankitxperia:
and in that case i will insist you go to nearest sonyericson care /custumer service and tell them to update ur device to 2.1

Need help guys...
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mayank77:
From your original post , I could gather that you tried fixing with PCC/SEUS/Flashtool. But did you try to update with both PCC and SEUS ?

Did you follow the instructions carefully when updating , like when and how long to hold the back button of your X8 while updating. When to connect you X8 to the computer etc
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NIMBAH:
Repairing and updating with PCC/SUES is basically the same thing. It just skips the part where the phone has to be on and mounted.

And if he didn't didn't hold the button long enough or something the process wouldn't even start.

I think the X8 is just dodgy and the best bet would be to take it to a service center.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] - Swift -:
Maybe Wotan would work but that costs money AFAIK.

This is actually quite a peculiar situation. I'm not sure if anybody has ever come across this before.

Its strange because FlashTool works literally 100% of the time.

Your best bet ATM would be to visit a service center or Contact Sony Online.

Best of luck

What, seems to be the problem? You can't get eclipse, or the sdk to install..? Or is linking eclipse to sdk the problem? Or environment path variable? Need a tad more information :]
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
That's easy:

Download the latest versions of Eclipse Classic (don't download the Java Dev version!!!) and Android SDK. Don't use installers, ALWAYS use the zipped binaries.

Unzip the binaries in any folder, it doesn't mater. Open SDK Manager (at Android SDK folder) and download the packets for the version that you desire to develop. I recommend you download the packets for Froyo, since your apps will be compatible with Froyo or any upper version.

Open Eclipse, and install ADT Plugin, as described here.

Go to Window >Preferences >Android, and type the location of Android SDK folder.

And... that's all, dude. You're ready to rock :cool:

thank you. i will try again in the morning when i have to get ready four work. i keep getting where you have to install or whatever the android sdk to eclipse (classic 3.7.2)...

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sodslaw:
Hi guys/girls/undecideds,

My phone made me a sad panda recently when it stopped booting correctly - on startup it vibrates as it should, the screen lights up, but does nothing more - it does NOT reach the sony-ericsson logo that comes up, and the light goes off. It continues to repeat this loop about once every five or so seconds.

Obviously, not being a total moron (i'm only like, 40% moron), my first thought was to reflash the software, but I can't, because every time I connect the phone to flashtool, it disconnects a couple of seconds later and obviously, the flashing fails.

Can you help me find my smile?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
It's behind the cupboard on the second floor, you left it there last week :)

But on a more serious note, have you tried doing a repair using either SEUS or PC Companion? It flashes your phone all the way back to original firmware, but that's always better than nothing ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sodslaw:
Yes, i've since repaired the firmware and the problem persists.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
If you start it up, does the led flash red?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sodslaw:
Nothing from the LED. Only time I can see the LED is when it's on charge.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] faiyyaz:
Was this just random? Or any damange happend?.. Looks like some harware issue.. If u can find some video's on youtube make for disassmely n check if internal the connection are connected properly. Specially the flex which connects to the motherboard.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sodslaw:
Yes, disassembled and reassembled the phone and checked all the internal connections, and everything seems fine as far as I can tell - I disconnected and then reconnected all the connections anyway just in case, and the problem persists.

Problem just started one day, but I was drunk at the time (surprise surprise) so it's not inconceivable that it MAY have taken some damage, but I'm very much certain it did not.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] faiyyaz:
Ok can u tel which ROM n kernel u are on?? N after connecting ur phone into flash mode ( as u said in the main thread ) it disconnects, can u tell which error it reports from its log..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sodslaw:
No idea which rom and kernel - what's on it currently will be the latest firmware that PC companion repairs with.

I can't tell which error it is, it just says "error: flashing aborted" in flashtool.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] StardustGeass:
Once, I got the same problem as you... I solved it via SEUS... Seeing you said 'PC Companion', I suugest you to use SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service). Those are two different programs..

Hopefully, it helps..

And, by the way, what happened when you open flashtool, and connect your phone in flash mode ? Does it keep getting errors, or just when you tried to flash some kernel ?

I'm using MIUI v4 2.7.6 and downanimation is not located as an .zip anywhere I know.

data/local - nope

customize/resource - nope
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
the bootanimation and shutdown animation paths are not constant and varies according to ROM

the two paths i mentioned above are more general places ..idk what path the MIUI chosen to keep the shutdown animation

but you can see/check the path by following the below way

Open the following xml file in your phone.

/system/customize/CID/default.xml

Find the entry shutdown animation and see the path there
[HTC Sensation] Richi_Ric:
The problem is it doesen't have /customize folder in /system :confused:
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
i doubt that coz i just downloaded the MIUI 2.7.6 ROM

and checked it myself ..the path and the file is there

may be you are checking the wrong path (if using file explorer you need to check from root i.e "/" as file explorer has /sdcard as default )

anyways coming to point

i opened the file and checked it myself

the bootanimation zip is at

/system/media/

and the customization is not set for downanimation (ie shutdown configuration)

i modded that default.xml file (I'll attach it here ..you can replace it )

so keep the downanimation.zip (name should be exact) at /system/media/

and replace the default.xml w.r.t mine

default.xml file
[HTC Sensation] Richi_Ric:
I missed the whole folder OMG :o That's super noob :P

anyway thanks for the help I'll try it and post the results ASAP.

Thanks once again. one more point where is the original MIUI 2.7.6 downanimation is located? is it in system/customize/resource?

HTH I missed it. :(
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
No there is no down animation path present in the default.xml

That's why I've given the modded xml which supports the down animation.. Check my earlier post

And you should keep your down animation zip at /system/media I mentioned that earlier too
