Bluetooth issues

I have ICS 4.0.4 and have bluetooth issues for all outgoing calls. No sound in or out. Incoming calls seem to work.

Hope there will be a fix soon.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eldobeldo:
Can someone

PLEASE

provide step by step directions for flashing update.zip's for ICS ROMS.

My understanding is, and please correct me if I am wrong, that if you are running ICS ROM you can't access CWM due to compatibility issues and potential of bricking. However, you can access (e3) android recovery.

Here is the usual update process (correct please if something is wrong):

- Download a particular update.zip to SD Card (place in /SD directory, folder important? root folder?)

- May need to rename to update.zip (making sure you don't rename it to update.zip.zip)

- Restart phone

- Hole vol up and power to access (e3) recovery

- Wipe cache

- Use vol bttns to select update from SD card

I am running currently the Frankenstein Ego 4.5 ROM (amazing, make sure to check it out; TEAM Era did and continues to do an excellent job). They are pushing some update.zip thru. including S voice fix.

My problem: when I try to flash any update, including the S voice V4 patch, I get the following during (e3) recovery: E: can't mount /SDcard (no such directory or file)

Things tried: I have tried reformatting the usb storage and remounting. I do not have a external SD card, just the usbstorage that came with the phone. I have tried changing mount as: either as R/O or R/W via Root Explorer. SD card permissions are all selected.

Please if you have any advice or recommendations enlighten "us". I realize this seems to be a common issue, but have yet to find constructive instructions to a solution.

TIA
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
Maybe unlocked recovery can only flash from an sd card? IDK havent used an unlocked recovery so that may be it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Is the update.zip signed?

---------- Post added at 11:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 PM ----------

Also, what is the purpose of the update.zip? You can still flash with EL26 stock CWM. A standard flashable zip used to push an app like TeamEra's Svoice is not going to alter partition information. Someone jump in and correct me if I'm off base with that. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
I think youre correct about not altering partition information but I think its purpose is so it can be flashed through the stock unlocked recovery w/o having to go back to el26 etc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eldobeldo:
It is signed. The issue is that it won't even mount the sdcard during (e3) recovery for me to be able to select the update.zip. The purpose was to update my s voice, but more importantly be able to update the ROM and be able to flash custom apps in the future..

I'm on stock El29 and rather not have to go back to El26 since it has works flawlessly. I really don't think that's the problem anyways.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
Wait how are you on stock el29 if Ego 4.5 is an ICS rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eldobeldo:
To clarify the kernel is fe16, modem stock el29.

It works fine. Moreover, s voice works good with occasional fc.

Frankenstein Ego 4.5 (4.04 ICS ROM w S voice)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
EL29 modem maybe? ;)

---------- Post added at 12:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 AM ----------

The apk for Svoice that Teamera released may be signed but did you resign the entire zip file as well or are you just renaming his release to update.zip? I just would like to know what's been done to the file to create a flashable update.zip for use in recovery so there is no confusion.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eldobeldo:
I have the whole zip file (Has the META, the app etc). Again, when I go into recovery and select update from SD, shouldn't I be able to browse/select for update files? Instead I get the can't mount SD error.

I have not resigned it. Just renamed it.

Thanks!

Frankenstein Ego 4.5 (4.04 ICS ROM w S voice)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Ok, most devs wouldn't have bothered signing their flashable zip (given it new certicates) so that it would be verified by the kernel so it will flash. I think that is how it works.

I want to learn how it works too. I just remember reading that for update.zip to work, it has to be signed. I think v4 svoice is the one you're trying to do correct? Let me see if I can remember how to sign a zip and maybe you can look around too.

---------- Post added at 12:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 AM ----------

Give me a few, I remember I have an auto-sign app around here somewhere, let me find it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eldobeldo:
Thanks. I know how to sign apks using cmd (got to have latest jdk and Java). Although auto sign should work as well. I don't know how to sign or whether its possible to sign zips tho..?? I'm not familiar with that..

Frankenstein Ego 4.5 (4.04 ICS ROM w S voice)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I will post a link to the signed zip in a couple of minutes when it gets done uploading to my dropbox for you to try.

Ok here it is: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/57223406/update_signed.zip

Don't forget to rename it. I have no idea if it worked but the new certificates were created. If it works, I'll just send over the auto sign app too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eldobeldo:
Thanks a bunch. I'm out and about right now, will try as soon as I get home.

Keep you posted. Thanks again.

Frankenstein Ego 4.5 (4.04 ICS ROM w S voice)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Will do. I don't feel like flashing away from Calk's to test it. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] im0rtalz:
Did you follow the instructions? It's not safe to flash in your recovery, looks like you are trying to run update.zip from stock ICS android recovery

Instructions from your rom thread :

New version 4 "S Voice" update.zip patch v4/w support files (you will need to odin/mobie odin EL26 recovery/kernel then flash update.zip, then flash the FE16 kernel, then reboot and enjoy!

Only safe recovery to flash and the instructions states it so I think we should follow it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eldobeldo:
I completely missed that.. didn't see that..my mistake. That being said, will I have to go thru that every time when I want to flash an update? Seems cumbersome a bit. I guess ill be able to access cwm recovery with el26 as opossed to stock recovery?

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcreokhan:
I Switch ROMs very often and Im tired of installing a File Manager from Play Store again and again. Most of the ROMs doesn't come with a Pre-Installed File Manager.

I've tried to create a CWM flashable file manager myself by following a guide but couldn't get the Zip to be flashable, And I've tried putting the Apk in the ROM itself and It worked but When I try to open the File Manager it crashes upon start.

So I request, Can anyone please :( make a CWM flashable File Manager app for me and many other people out there?

Please use Rhythm Software File Manager (Market/PlayStore Link Given + APK file Attached)

how long is your charging time....on and off
[Sony Tablet S] Kermit33:
Full charge within less than an hour (I don't bother fo check the exact time);)
[Sony Tablet S] qcaff:
Are you sure? Mine takes about 4 hours.
[Sony Tablet S] riccardo91:
are you serious???? :confused:
[Sony Tablet S] Mahaco:
From a dead tab, that won't even start with the charging cable in it, it takes almost 2 hours, depends on which apps you have installed and running in your tab also your brightness can make charging hard, if you want the tablet to charge faster, the you have to shut down your tab and then charge
[Sony Tablet S] weaponXandroid:
I discharge my tablet completely, then it takes about 4 n half hours to fully recharge and in sleep mode battery discharges like 1% every 12 hours, and with heavy use it sucks the complete juice in 8-9 hours.

So I always charge by :rolleyes:Folded Magazine:rolleyes: for 5 hours..
[Sony Tablet S] BSEmil:
ok thanks....

on the webpages they say 5h charging time...

mine is 3h with tab switched off...so i´m wondering...maybe with tab in use...

anybody else?
[Sony Tablet S] Kermit33:
That's what I usually do - I'll charge my tablet when the Low Battery warning beeps for the second or third time and it takes not more than an hour to get it fully charged.

I did time the charging this evening when only 2% battery life is left and it took 1 hour 35 mins to charge it to 100%. My tablet is 3 months old and there are 29 apps installed (excluding those pre-installed) and HK is on 220 voltage.

Brightness on my machine is set to Automatic.
[myTouch 4G General] THEindian:
I'd just like to know your opinions on it, does it save battery, performance? What app do you use? Btw, i know that there is no best app, i am just asking for an opinion so dont flame...lol
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
It works well for me. Seems to extend battery life. I use oc/uv beater or incredicontrol depending on the ROM.

You have to try and find the lowest voltage where the ROM is still stable under load.
[myTouch 4G General] Jack_R1:
Undervolting saves battery by the pure fact that your CPU gets less power dissipation. How much battery - depends on the setup, the CPU isn't the only power-hungry device in the system. If you use a lot of screen, by reading, for example - undervolting won't help you much. On the other hand, it'll help your standby time, it'll somewhat reduce the heating of the phone and save the battery this way, etc.

OC/UV beater for me, too.
[myTouch 4G General] THEindian:
I'll try out oc uv beater. Is it on Google play? Can't seem to find it, otherwise I'll just get it off of a rom or something
[myTouch 4G General] Jack_R1:
It's a not-under-development (old) app on XDA.
[myTouch 4G General] THEindian:
Yeah, found it, do you know if you can use it concurrently with setcpu?
[myTouch 4G General] Jack_R1:
No reason to. It was meant to control kernel options, using the clock and voltage scalers built into kernels, and not to set the options in runtime like SetCPU.
[myTouch 4G General] ...Awesome...:
Impressive smart smart man...
[myTouch 4G General] THEindian:
Awesome, i got a bone to pick with you, WHEN are you gonna email me a picture of the kernel instructions!?! Btw, thanks Jack, you da man!
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
Use incredicontrol if you're set on using setcpu
[myTouch 4G General] THEindian:
Yep, tried it, virtuous's sense 4.0 kernel doesn't seem to support it. Thanks for the help estallings :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tbessie:
Using the stock ROM for the Galaxy Nexus, Android 4.04 from Google, I'm finding this bug (which has been elsewhere reported, but not acted upon by Google) where the touch screen is unresponsive. You press the 'power' button, the 'slide to unlock' screen appears, but the touch screen doesn't respond to anything.

If I get a call while the phone is sleep, the same thing occurs - can't answer the phone.

I usually have to put the phone to sleep/wake it up 5, 6, or more times before the touch screen again becomes enabled in these situations.

Does anyone know why this happens? There has been much conjecture about this, but I have yet to see anyone say for sure why this would be happening. A disabled touchscreen at such a crucial point in a GUI is pretty horrific.

- Tim
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmdub:
was gonna make a new thread on this but since i found one with the exact same thing happened figured why waste space, but anyway this just happned to me running stock 4.0.4 cdma unrooted. was just charging my phone unlocked it to check twitter and the lock screen was completely unresponsive for whatever reason. I continued to turn the screen off and on several times and then just decided to pull my battery and it worked fine.

This is the first time its happened to me and its kinda troubling as I dont want this to be a recurring thing and was wondering if this continues to happen or its just some single random occurence?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
I played many games that make use of "landscape" mode, that is the screen is rotated. Those games where the on-screen "joystick" on the bottom-left of the screen (landscape) OR top left (portrait) and "button" on the bottom-right (landscape) or bottom left (portrait), I notice that sometimes the screen did NOT register my touch.

When it happened, I lift up my thumb and press it or move the button again and nothing is registered. After about 2-5 seconds, THEN it register again.

I used to have the International Note and I never experiences this issue.

I tried pretty much ANY games or apps and the problem persists.

Anyone experiences this?

So I'm hopefully getting a new HTC one x on orange contract 24 months £28.50 600 minutes unlimited texts and 1gb data.

Another question is orange a good network how is the signal and internet speed?
[HTC EVO 3D] TheMrMalro:
I know there are probably millions of posts on this but I have been searching and searching everywhere and not found an answer. I was stupid and installed a custom kernal not meant for my ROM (Sense 4 Virtuous) and my device got stuck on the HTC screen. I tried to install one made for Sense 4 and it made it even worse, now I can't get into the recovery. It goes to the HTC screen and then restarts and boots to the HTC screen again. Please help!
[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
Can you get into bootloader? If not try the steps below. If you can then you can just flash a new recovery

Im guessing you have android sdk on your pc? If so try this.

1.Remove and place back your battery.

2.Connect your phone to your pc.

3.Go to your adb/fastboot directory.

4.Then type adb reboot-bootloader

5. Your device should boot up.
[HTC EVO 3D] TheMrMalro:
Trying this gets me this:

C:\Android>adb reboot-bootloader

adb server is out of date. killing...

* daemon started successfully *

error: device not found

But I installed a new recovery and can boot into recovery now (thanks haha) how can I revert back to the stock kernel? Could I do it by preforming some sort of factory reset? Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
Do a superwipe then just reflash the rom you were on.

Is there any other way to do this without the wipe part ? I'm having the same problem with King Cobra ICS ROM and I don't feel like wiping my phone... again.
[HTC EVO 3D] plaidcounty:
Did you happen to make any nanroid backups before it started bootlooping? If so, wipe, flash, and advance restore data and it'll be like you didn't have to wipe.
[HTC EVO 3D] d5t6:
I ended up wiping everything (super wipe) and reinstalled version 1.2 of said ROM. Now everything is working fine. Will wait for the nest big update to try again.

Thanks for the suggestion though, I will keep it in mind for next time ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] hitman4274:
Wiping is a normal thing... The key is to set up properly before hand to avoid issues with having to wipe again and again.....

The solution your looking for is back ups... Back up everything... Apps, Rom(via nandroid backup)..... Messages... All that fin stuff... Will make going back or correcting something you forgot so much easier....

Hello everyone on xda my friend doesn't own a computer and he wants to purchase a new "tower" so that he can play Diablo 3. I myself have no knowledge on such things but I though I would ask if anyone knew stores around Peoria Arizona that sold towers or computers with a good graphics card able to play Diablo 3.

Any response would help about computer prices and makes and models with information's about the graphics card that's comes with them.

You said that your knowledge about computers is not really good. Okay. But what about your friend?

First of all, he should be aware of what he is able to spend in a new computer. Then use source of information number one [same brought your question here] to find shops in your area.

Don't know the things in the U.S. but buying online is usually more cheap than in shops directly.

Hi :)

So I have an Acer Netbook, the D620.

Earlier, I closed the laptop (not shutdown)

and as usual the CPU lights went off with the power light flashing indicating standby.

After an hour or so, I saw all the lights except the WiFi one were on, (power CPU and Ram) . When I opened the lid of the laptop, it didn't come out of standby mode. Just a black screen

I did what any Android user would do. Pulled the battery. It rebooted fine.

This has happened like 5-6 times now. Any ideas?
[Off-topic] veeman:
Reinstall Windows(or Linux or whatever you have on there). Works every time.
[Off-topic] jaszek:
What you have to do is smack the keyboard really hard at least 2 sets of 10 times. If that doesn't work, then you have something running in the background, which makes your laptop wake up. When you open it, just wait a minute and it will turn on.
[Off-topic] Faiz Malkani:
I waited for an hour. Nothing happened.
[Off-topic] greeky510:
That was your laptop going from sleep to turned off. if that happens again dont just pull the battery, just press the power button and hold it for about 10 seconds. once its off just press it again to turn on.
[Off-topic] Faiz Malkani:
It doesn't go from sleep to turned off. It goes from sleep to lights on but blank screen mode.

I need it to stay in sleep because overnight it switches itself on and by morning I have 10% battery
[Off-topic] greeky510:
then there is something that prevents it from turning off or hibernating. Go to your power settings and make sure that there is nothing like turn off after 1 hour of being in sleep mode or something like that. Why arent you turning it off or putting it in Standby mode? Standby still resumes fast.
[Off-topic] Faiz Malkani:
Sometimes I'm in a hurry and I can't put it in standby. I'll see the power thing though
[Off-topic] greeky510:
You can use the power settings and tell the laptop to go into standby when you close the lid.
