[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jordanmw:
I posted back on the 26th that my prime had "updated" with a new firmware, at least that is what it looked like.... until it rebooted on the same .21 firmware that I was on prior.

Thread was here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1674370

Let me give you a play by play of what happened after some further investigation.

Woke up and grabbed the prime to check weather and schedule for the day, figured with all the talk about possible updates, I should check. Showed that an update was available! I yell out "finally!"- the wife asks what I am so happy about. I tell her that I am currently updating the prime to get us off of the gawd-awful .21 that she hates so much. She has been waiting just as I have for the update since having a poor browsing and gaming experiences since we got our first prime.

The prime goes through the download process- I go to the settings area to look at the build that I am currently on-- this is the standard .21- build from march. I complete the download that the prime reboots, shows our buddy the android getting his guts re-arranged just like every firmware update shows while the update is applied. The wife is standing there waiting for it to complete.

It reboots, she starts using it, says that it seems stable after browsing for a little bit. I jump into the forums and spread the news. Demandarin asks for a screen shot since he is not showing an update. I pry the prime out of my wife's hands and go to see the version--- SAME FREAKING VERSION!! NOOOOOO!

Posted the screenshot and ask if anyone sees a version of anything that has changed-- nope. Now I am really pissed and wondering what happened.

So now I start investigation into what happened and why. I look at the device tracker to see if they saw me download and apply the update-- nope, only shows the date that I originally downloaded .21:

2012-03-29 23:17:11US_epad-9.4.2.15-user to US_epad-9.4.2.21-user

So I keep digging and find out that it just downloaded the exact same .21 that it did at the end of march! The firmware that it just downloaded has a new date/time stamp from may 26.. but it is the exact same file.

Just thought I would post to see if anyone else had this happen on .21- or if anyone has any idea how this could happen.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ready2Mosh:
Samsung did the same thing with their updates on my TV, I would go look and see a new date and think a new update only to find the same version number and same fixes.
[HTC Sensation] reaper_07:
I am returning home after a short time spent in UK.

I would like to know which service provider has the most reliable coverage as far as 3g is concerned. I am in the Hauz Khas/Malviya Nagar area.

If everyone can share the experiences of their service provider viz. speeds & charges.

Speedtest.net results will be much appreciated.

All inputs are welcome :):)

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
I don't live in India but it only took some googling

I hope I don't get punished or flamed or anything but here's a link to what I found:

http://www.indiabroadband.net/mtnl-3g/37035-best-3g-plan-delhi.html
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Back in 2011, yes. Currently, there are better carriers to choose than MTNL. Can't comment for Delhi, but Vodafone has the best network for 3G in Mumbai. I have 3G+ (H) in most places. Also, Vodafone has a pre-paid plan of 2GB 3G data @ Rs.451 valid for 30 days. Also 1GB 3G data @ Rs.251 valid for 30 days.

Beyond this period, it is 2p/10kb.

I get an average down speed of around 3.5-4.5 mbps & up speed of about 1-2 mbps.
[HTC Sensation] reaper_07:
Thanks!

I had gone through the same page myself. The only thing is these results, as well as the threads on this forum, are a bit dated. Just wanted something more recent.

Thanks for the info. I'm sure the tariffs would be quite similar over different circles. I'm also going to scour the websites of these networks to compare tariffs.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flex360:
i just upgraded and they say im eligible for an upgrade may 2013

is this normal?

i thought it was every 2 years?

anyway if u wanna check when you are eligible for upgrade without calling or logging into sprint website

text the word "upgrade" (without quotes...obviously) to 1311
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
I thought if you had an expensive monthly plan you still got the yearly upgrade? What i mean is isn't there two tiers of premier now? Silver like most everyone with the cheapest plan or those who simply hit 10 years service and gold for those who go for the $100 plus per month plan for a single line? Or was this scrapped and they no longer do any of that?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flex360:
ohh i see

im a gold premier

i guess thats why

i only pay 70 something for unlimited everything (discount)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mscuttari:
I am using RCMixS v2.0 rom (with Gingerbread 2.3.3) and in my Desire I have a Sandisk micro-sdhc (

not mobile ultra

:() and, my video recorded at 720p have some lags.

May the microsd be the cause? Or it's a rom problem? If it is a rom problem, how can i solve?

Thank you in advance,

Sbarabau
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erklat:
Both. 720p recording lagged from the day one, maybe the least on 1.9 roms, but lag was(is?) present nevertheless.

Faster sd card might improve it somewhat as people reported. But people reported ICS aosp is faster than GB aosp, so I'd say you'd be on thin ice believing there.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mscuttari:
Thank you. For now I have increased the bit-rate of h264 codec in the media-profiles.xml file (I changed it from 14000000 to 20000000).

The biggest lags seems to be disappeared, but the video recording is still a little choppy...

EDIT: I have to correct myself, 720p still lags... any software solution, like as any script?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oossaa:
If I set Video bitrate to 2x on ICS camera, does this mean that the video will be smoother? If it's 2x, it is that more demanding for the phone?
[LG Optimus Black] Anarcho-Capitalist:
Is it because I'm located in the U.S.? I've been trying to update for a week but the links still aren't working for me. I'd appreciate if someone could upload v6.26 based on the v20o to mediafire or wherever else? Thank you.

Also, Can I flash it over v6.24?
[LG Optimus Black] Pacos1:
You should turn your ad blocker temporarily off, due the link is redirected through a ad page.

Alternatively you can use opera mini. In this case you have maybe to refresh several times until the arrow to proceed appears.

I think it is very fair, so the time which Huexxx invest in this rom get a small compensation. And the number of donators is very shameful.

You can flash over 6.24, but don´t forget to make the whipes cache and dalvik cache! And of course read Huexxx´s first post in the Zeus thread!

Regards!

PS: I hope that the U.S. citizens aren’t suffering the consequences of censorship!
[HTC Rezound] Freedom First:
Did some searching, and didn't find an answer/solution to my problem: Every time I connect my Bluetooth headset to my phone, it enables Media Audio, even though I repeatedly disable it in the settings. Has anyone found a way to permanently disable Media Audio? I don't want anything but phone calls routed to the headset. As a matter of fact, when it's connected (and Media Audio is enabled) all notifications and ringtones are routed to the headset, so if I'm not wearing the headset (and I'm not right next to my phone) I don't hear it ring. Once Media Audio is disabled, it rings from the phone.

:confused:
[HTC Rezound] gr8nole:
I use the "Autostarts" app. You should be able to disable that using it.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
that's weird. Even if I have media going through the BT, the phone rings/notifications come through both the phone speaker and the headset.
[HTC Rezound] Freedom First:
If you have it, can you tell me if it's possible to disable it using the app? Even though it's only $1.50 for the app, I'm not keen on spending the money for it, if it won't fix my problem.

Mine behaved normally up until recently. Now, Media Audio must be unchecked for rings and notifications to sound from the handset. :(
[HTC Rezound] XooLoo:
I have the same exact problem... Did you ever find a solution?
[HTC Rezound] Freedom First:
Nope. I even installed Autostarts (as previously suggested) and have had no luck in changing the behavior.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kuchek:
I have an original Evo 4G. I've rooted multiple evos, and flashed a lot of roms, but for some reason even after I wiped the cache, and dalvic cache. Im running supersonic, it wont let me put on amon. Any ideas guys?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klharalson:
Here is a PC36IMG zip that you flash through bootloader which will get you the recovery you are wanting. I had trouble get amon through clockwork if that is what you are trying to do.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gellybelly:
what recovery you using now?

When I couldnt get amon ra loaded, someone suggested I erase recovery in fastboot and then install it again, and that worked fine. So when you get to fastboot thru adroid sdk, the command is

fastboot erase recovery

>then after erase

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Believe the instruction are in the dev sub, forgot what they are to get all in one folder, but if you've rooted and flashed alot you should know.

You may have a bad download... You may want to re-download that again and check MD5 just in case...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] WheresWaldo:
First time I have hard bricked a Samsung phone and would like to know where I went wrong. All we were trying to accomplish was to root the stock rom and change the revovery to CWM Touch. There was no attempt to upgrade to anything other than the stock rom. Here are the steps I followed:

Powered off phone

Inserted USB Jig (which powers on phone in Download Mode)

Started up Odin 1.85

Loaded cwm-touch-i717-120414.tar.md5 in the PDA slot

Plugged in phone (recognized as Com7)

Flashed

Phone rebooted after the flash and I let it sit until it timed out just to make sure everything seemed okay.

Powered off phone

Inserted USB Jig (which powers on phone in Download Mode)

Started up Odin 1.85

Loaded att_note_root.tar in the PDA section

Plugged in phone (recognized as Com7)

Flashed

Phone rebooted after the flash and seemed okay. On this boot a couple of things asked for root permission but I cant remember which apps. I attached the running phone to my computer and connected using USB Mass Storage. I copied flash_counter_reset_att.zip to the root of the SD card. Checked the MD% hash after copying to the phone. I powered off the phone.

Powered on the phone holding the Vol +/Vol-/Power to boot into CWM recovery

Chose install zip from sdcard

Chose install zip from internal sdcard

Chose flash_counter_reset_att.zip

Chose yes to flash

After the flash completed I went back and chose reboot system now

Here is where all hell broke loose. It was just a black screen and not recognizable by Odin. The phone is now on it's way to MobileTechVideos to get JTAG unbricked.

So my big question is what went wrong or what step did I miss?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] animeware:
My Friend I'm so sorry to see this from you I really do feel bad for you I hope your phone turns out alright once it get's fixed I do not want to see anyone phone brick this is serious problem

Good Luck To you.......
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zer0nine:
What carrier version of the phone was it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigdaddy4u:
All Will Be Well

I believe the "ONLY" thing you did (wrong?) was the att flash counter zip -Eliminate the Att step - there is a rooting method that does not cause the flash counter to be tripped (i believe it's non touch cwm - then flash the touch cwm - then flash Roms to your Heart's desire) I'm not really sure the flash counter issue really matters - At&t only cares if there is physical damage to the phone because I believe they just re-flash the phone and sell it again.

I'm Mostly responding to say that JTAG is Beastly and your phone will be better than brand new when you get it back - the status of your order won't change until they ship it back (which for me was 7 days), but don't panic (like I did) they are Good & Fast - So relax it cost you $50 & A week, but Hell the phone cost $700 so All Will Soon be well.

Also double check that it was the correct zip files for the Note - I bricked my Skyrocket because I flashed a Note Rom by accident (Thanks JTAG :-)) - I've got Too Many Samsung Devices - Hope This Helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] WheresWaldo:
I have no issues with MobileTechVideos as I bought one of the first USB jigs when I got my day one Captivate. I am sure it will come back solid.

I did double check that I was using files specific to the Note, but I must say, you Note users have one finicky phone. I will stick with my Skyrocket. I'll look over the instruction for the non counter increasing root in the forums when the phone gets back.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jordant2:
You didn't mention if you were able to get back to Clockwork. If you hold volume up and down while pressing power, it takes you straight into Clockwork regardless of the black screen. If so then you aren't bricked. Or if you still want to use Odin, hold volume down and power to get to download mode which is also Odin mode. Did you try these commands using physical button combinations and they did not work? If you didn't try them then you may be spending unnecessary money. If you did try all these things, then maybe you were hard bricked. Of all the Android phones I've owned and I've rooted all of them, I've never been unable to recover. I've only seen one hard brick from a coworker that had a galaxy s on tmobile that would not power on or charge after trying to root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] madman604:
why did you even need a jig? turn on phone while holding down volume button.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] babymatteo:
+1. I'm so confused now. Maybe he tried to unbrick it first, then the phone turned hard bricked. :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
The flash counter is kind of a joke, isn't it? I mean, if the tech is looking to see if you flashed something, he cares that you flashed something, not how many times you flashed it.

I think the jig added another variable to the equation, and was unnecessary. None of the threads for rooting required one.

Also, i'd check to see if a MD5 is available for the files you used for the flash. Check the files you used and see if that was the issue.

If the note is new, and really is hardbricked, he's hopefully within the 30 day window. Just take it back for an exchange and tell them it stopped booting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] PaulF8080:
There is a thread started by ncoder in the international note general forum that has been near the top for a long time. You are not alone. Samsung actually responded!

Edit: Samsung	desperately needs a stock failure. Maybe they would fix your phone for free so they could do a JTAG core dump that matches their sources etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] WheresWaldo:
Would not go into Clockwork Recovery or Odin with any key combination, simply a black screen.

Jig is much faster, and works everytime, nuff said.

Nope, started with a working phone and after applying the counter reset, which works beautifully on the SkyRocket BTW, that's when it bricked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] WheresWaldo:
Thanks for the info.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] WheresWaldo:
I am beginning to agree that the counter seems irrelevant and wholly unnecessary.

Jig simply puts any Samsung phone that is off into Download mode, it is the same as the key combination only easier.

I always check MD5 hashes after I copy to the internal SD card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jb0nd38372:
I'm with the others on this... Flash counter reset was designed to work on ICS and not GB, I do believe that's where things went bad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] PaulF8080:
I have no clue if the info applies to you. I just was hoping you still had possibly useful data in your phone. Saving face with your cousin was a side benefit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] animatechnica:
the only other step you forgot is to create a backup after flashing cwm

[HTC One X] Euforeik:
My bootloader is unlocked. I live in the Philippines but there a defects like dust under my screen. I got it less than a week ago. Do you think they will replace it? I honestly doubt they would check if the bootloader is unlocked. You people that have gotten replacement and have unlocked bootloaders did they give you grief?
[HTC One X] treebill:
i would restore stock ROM, boot.img, recovery and re-lock it before sending it away, they have a habit of saying

"well it's got illegal software on it so we HAVE to replace the motherboard"

even if the problem doesn't require that.
[HTC One X] dr9722:
Unlocking the bootloader will only void parts of the warranty which are software related.

As your issue is hardware related then your warranty will be honored. I would imagine they would just clean under the lcd screen rather than replacing the phone.
[HTC One X] treebill:
If you flash custom software they will replace your motherboard and they will charge you.
[HTC One X] Euforeik:
Coming from an iPhone I can say that Apple has a much better policy when it comes to replacements. Seems like HTC is like "they already spent money, let's milk them for more."

My opinion:

1.Dont use different launchers(use the Rom lanchuer)you install GDX use that installed launcher

2.You can use Ram manager or supercharger

3.Overclock it

4.Use fast and smooth rom

5.thats it,if i remember of something else will write it down

I also had RAM Manager installed. It helps a lot!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caploreng:
does ram manager really help? i use the same settings and rom like you.but sometimes the lag is quite a nuisance.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elderduke:
yes, i supposed so. Im think all senior members are. Just I was launching in the abiss....

Me, after trying all there is for stock, locked bootloader, I have to say that FroyoPro is the one answering my demands.(I mean over 1700 in Antutu, and over 600 for 2d)

Of course GDX and PrimeHD are also good, but in my oppinion they do not bring out the best in our X8, and ro support that is enough to compare test results in Froyo and Ginger.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Unlike the winmo days where anyone could get a kitchen and build away, the closest thing android has to that is the aroma installer kitchen sink uses. So building a rom on android is a bit more advanced. Best bet would be getting an already credible minimal rom such as the 3.2.5 deblur/cm7 and theming/modifying it to your liking. But the fact that you asked such a broad question kinda tell me that youve got a lot of reading to do if youre plannin to undertake such a project.
