[Focus General] EnderPsp:
It looks as if the eboot or some other part of the firmware is not flashed correctly.

Can any of you try the attached flasher with the stock rom? (use this exe/flasher, not the default one inside the rom)
[Focus General] avi!:
I try rebooting the phone & it started correctly ! Currently the firmware shows some 7.0.0 etc. Seems I downgraded
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
So did you reflash? Or just restarted?
[Focus General] avi!:
I tried just restarting.

The earlier issue is back. Sometimes phone goes off with samsung logo flashing multiple times.
[Focus General] SuperSport:
It's possible you have a hardware error, but to verify, did you select ALL the checkboxes when you flashed the phone? You should flash all parts, including: Phone Boot, Phone, Eboot, PDA, CSC Download.
[Focus General] avi!:
At first I did not check. second time I did.

The random reboots have been disappeared after I placed a small piece of paper near battery so that it can connect it tightly. However battery is draining too fast now

I guess the fault is in battery
[HTC Incredible S] Yrck:
Hi Guys,

I send my phone back for warranty but now they said I have water damage.

Can someone tell me what color this indicators have? (On the battery and on the phone)

Thanks.
[HTC Incredible S] Zoeriva:
Hi,

I had the same problemen. When you pull out the battery you will see a pink square paper. Is it white than is there no "waterdamage" , is it pink than they say you have waterdamage. I called HTC about it and they told me that it can come by several reasons, rain, even in your trousers......... But they fixed mine anyway under warrenty. They made a remark on the repair form and two weeks later i got it back.
[HTC Incredible S] Yrck:
The first time they fixed my phone with pink indicators. Now I have the same problem and no warranty. I hope HTC will help me. When I search on YouTube on repair guides i see only pink indicators!
[HTC Incredible S] idrinkbenzin:
It should be pink when the phone has not water damage. It turns white once you drop it in water
[HTC Incredible S] thiagofbrito:
I think it is the opposite.
[HTC Incredible S] Yrck:
It is a white indicator with pink stripes. I test it with my battery: When the indicator become wet the whole color was pink.
[HTC Incredible S] wpra3:
its a white with stripped pink stickers that are attached to many side of the phone. Since I've disassemble it, there is 1 on the battery, other on the housing, one on the usb port. Thats the only 3 stickers that i can remember off. It will turn pink when it exposed to water, so the easiest to damage is the usb port then the battery

As you can see the port has that pink strip, tho i never submerge my phone to water. High humidity can trigger that indicator, as it was badly placed. So I don't think it's fair to put that stripe on that part
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gromky:
Why are 'phone' and 'Android system' using so much network traffic? Phone appears to be...the phone. Why does it need to use the network? It is consistently on top of the usage meter.

Android system, maybe I can see this needing to use the network, but still it is consistently the #2 network user. What's the deal with these?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DinoSoup:
Well Android System does things like Auto Sync of Accounts which result in data usage. As for the phone, I'm not sure, but it does happen to me sometimes too.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvelicious75:
Please pardon my noobishness, I've been reading til my eyes crossed, but I can't seem to find a straight answer.

I just purchased an unlocked (UK) Defy+ because I need a durable phone and they don't seem to offer many options here in the US. I don't use many minutes and I just wanted text and phone coverage without a data plan: I have wifi coverage much of the time and can live without internet when I don't have it. Therefore, I snagged a cheap gophone ($20 got me a sim, a backup phone, and an extra charger) planning to run the sim in the Defy.

The problem is that while the gophone works fine, when I put the sim in the defy it tells me I have an invalid sim. The phone is supposed to be unlocked and it doesn't ask me for an unlock pin.

One possibility that I haven't tried yet - I have bypassed the motoblur setup so far, since my reading has had nothing good to say about it, and I don't use facebook, twitter or really any major social media (and if I did, I wouldn't want motorolla messing with it anyway). Could this be my problem? I didn't plan to root the phone (at least not yet...) since I didn't think I needed this level of access. I wanted to simply skip the motoblur service in the first place. I did run across some references on google of other motorolla phones having these symptoms because of not setting up motoblur. Should I just bite the bullet and set it up, or maybe root the phone and get rid of it? How intrusive is the motorblur service?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labsin:
I don't think it matters. Try a friends phone with that sim?

Verstuurd van mijn MB525 met Tapatalk
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvelicious75:
The sim works fine in the cheap gophone I got when I set it up. I can't imagine it being any different anywhere else. I tried plugging in an ancient cingular sim I still had floating about for some reason which gave me a different message - no service instead of invalid sim card.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvelicious75:
Further reading, could this be a baseband version issue? They never intended the defy+ for the US market. I knew from the start that web access would not function except by wifi, but I was given to understand that I could make phonecalls. Not much of a phone without that...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvelicious75:
I think maybe I'm on the right track with the baseband issue. I need to be running at 850/1900mhz which the phone will do according to the box... UK is 900/2100, correct? Is it possible that baseband ver. epu93_U_00.60.00 doesn't support my frequencies?

Thanks to everyone responsible for all the info on this forum. I'm overwhelmed at this point, but hopefully it will become more clear with time. I need to walk away from this for the night. Hopefully, tomorrow some of this stuff will have sorted itself out in my head. If anyone has any input, please weigh in!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labsin:
If you want to see if baseband change helps.

Root the phone, install baseband changer (or something) and try out the Argentinian. They also use the 850/1900 frequentie band. T-mobile uses 850/1700/2100.

But normally I thought that was only needed to get 3g working.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvelicious75:
Further updates and no luck.

I made the mistake of letting the phone update via wifi, thinking that might help, so now at 2.3.6 I can't seem to unlock it - tried superoneclick and doomlord, no luck so far. I'm very close to seeing if I can't get my money's worth of frustrations out of this phone with a 12lb sledgehammer. Wouldn't be the most expensive thing I've ever destroyed!

Its funny, this same kind of crap with the SLVR I bought years ago was why my last motorola product was going to be the last thing I ever purchased from them. Fool that I am, I thought I'd give them another chance.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labsin:
For rooting the phone on 2.3.6 check the 'bl7 finally rooted' threat.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vicsa:
Have you tried factory reset? Read somewhere that that helps
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvelicious75:
Yes, I had tried the factory reset. The "BL7 finally rooted" thread did root the phone. I haven't done the baseband switch yet, but I'm hopeful.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vicsa:
Baseband switcher thread ;)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvelicious75:
Well, I should've listened to labsin in the first place - go figure. :rolleyes:

My phone is now unlocked, rooted and baseband switched - it now recognizes US 3G, but the sim is still invalid. On the upside, I think I know what the problem is now. Turns out AT&T sometimes locks their sims for 180 days to the phone you activate it with. I guess I need to go to the store and try to get a different sim out of them.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbi1972jo:
If its at&t go phone u need to call at&t and have ur sim unlocked . Its locked to the phone u activate it in for so many months. Just tell them that ur go phone wont work and u cant return it . Hope this works for u . I had to do this couple times .
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbi1972jo:
Didnt read all of ur last post before i posted . Sorry . But just give them a call . U shouldnt need a new one ..
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvelicious75:
Probably ought to call them from a landline, huh? :D

I tried going into the store yesterday. The girl there told me it was locked for 30 days, which is different than the six months I had heard elsewhere. I wonder if she was just trying to keep the great big scary guy (aka me) from losing his temper. I get it, I guess. They don't want people with smartphones using their $50 prepay unlimited, then tethering their laptop off it... What kind of person would do such a thing. :p On the other hand, don't call it unlimited if it isn't!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvelicious75:
Ahhhh, victory. Thanks for all the help. By the look of things, switching basebands was necessary in the end, so I'm glad I went through all the trouble. I can't believe some of you guys do this as a hobby, I'd rather slam my privates in a car door than go through this again!

:eek:

This is great. Thank you. But why does it need access to so much information? (such as location, history, etc.)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KonstantinKeller:
Haha yes you can. And it requires that info for some other functions I haven't added to the toolbar because I have no use for them. It's not like it's gonna stalk you :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheTechNiq:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Techngro:
I'm sorry, I don't have the Note, so I have no idea what this is. Does this become part of the browser, or is it just an app?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KonstantinKeller:
It for your computer, not your phone. It's a toolbar so that you can stay updated with the forums while on another webpage.

U should have asked a mod to move ur thread instead of creating a new one
[Blade General] doncortio:
Oh... i new here, i don't know its possible anything... I thought that I closed the previous thread,

because the app have a "close" menu item.
[Blade General] Faiz Malkani:
Lol. No. Only mods can close threafs
[Blade General] prbassplayer:
Well I will lock both. I'm getting annoyed at people being to lazy to search and read the forums. This is a development forum not a "make my phone cool" forum. There are no best, or better roms/kernels/app. It's a matter of opinion. If you want German and Hungarian laungage, back button ends call (?), FM Radio then I suggest you go to the development forums and read the threads for the roms.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Broncus:
Greetings All,

Phone: HTC Tilt

OS: WinMo 6.1

I have searched this site and others looking for references to using the ExtUSB connection for RS232 data many times. I have found quite a few references to updating ROMs, unbricking and even Android use but none for anyone using the HTC Tilt ExtUSB connector for plain old data communication.

My question is: can the ExtUSB be used for RS232?

If the answer is yes, then a link would be appreciated.

If no, is there a phone recommendation that uses WinMo in which the ExtUSB is useable for RS232 serial data. In my project, this phone may be lost or destroyed in its final run. Older low cost units are good!

I am aware of the need to level shift, etc.

Before you ask, I am using a Bluetooth dongle to get data through it. I just happen to need a second port.

Thank you all for taking time to read my posting!

Best regards,

Fred

Hey Everyone,

I happen to live in Dubai and after seeing all the news on the blogs, went to the mall near my house and picked up a marble white SIII :D

The phone is great till now, coming from the OG Atrix I am blown away by the screen. Still figuring out S-Voice, it refuses to hear my wake up command, voice recognition is good otherwise, no mistakes even with the TV on quite loud. Smart stay works well. Camera is not too good in low lighting IMO. The GPS is very accurate indoors.

The phone feels great in my hand, definitely doesn't feel cheap

If you have any questions about the retail international version I will do my best to answer them. :)

[Android Software Development] CarpeNoctem:
If there is one thing I hate about changing rom all the time is the need to think about saving and restoring my APN setting, depending on the carrier I use.

To solve this issue I developed a webtool that will allow you (and I) to automatically export the setting for the carrier I need and re-inject them into your phone using APN Backup and Restore, the app is developed by riteshsahu, all credit goes to him.

First, a word of caution, APN Backup and Restore works without any issue with GB or HC but need to be installed as SYSTEM APP on ICS.

The tool is available here: http://www.osimood.com/2012/05/news-apn-database/ just choose your country and operator to see the details and if you want the XML to be imported with APN Backup and Restore just use the "Generate XML" button

The file downloaded has to be place in the folder

/sdcard/ApnBackupRestore

to be used.

I hope it helps, feel free to leave your comments and ideas!
