[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mighty_X:
Could someone who owns a blue s3 please make a photo to show me once and for all which colour it really has now?:confused:

There are a lot of rumours that colour is kind of grey now (i would love it) with kind of blue frame (would not like it) and kind of violet Home button (would hate it).

THX in advance:)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomasck:
Hi all, suddenly my back key stopped its usual function (going back), and now is opening the search.. Is there any way to put it to the default?

Other question.. I managed to get another touch, a new one from a Chinese sgsii.. I completely opened the handset and mounted with the Chinese touch.. everything worked fine, except the soft buttons.. they don't even light up.. any ideas? tried to wipe cache n dalvik but no luck..

thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chef_Tony:
make a full backup with titanium and maybe even a nandroid backup (if you are rooted) and then perform a full factory reset to actually test. maybe just wiping the chache isn't gonna do it.

if in the end you get stuck with a unit with non-functioning soft buttons, you can always install a "nexus" style rom, that has the buttons on-screen or revert everything to stock and send it in to get it repaired.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomasck:
Doing a full wipe for sure will solve the problem with the back soft button.. however, my concern is more about the new screen.. dont think they will work with the new screen that I took from a Chinese SGSII.. I`m using my boards, the big one, and the small one which can be found at the bottom of the handset.. even like that, the buttons did not work :(..

but I will try what u said..

cheers..

Will sell it. Normally keep a decent phone spare in case phone is stolen/broken, but as wife just got a Galaxy Nexus replacement for her stolen Nexus S, we will keep that instead. I am hoping they come out with another 3D phone in the next couple of years as I quite like the 3D feature

[HTC EVO 3D] 44pillowspa:
It will be my new TEP or insurance policy.

The rate goes up to $132/year + tax+ $150 deductible. Or every bit of $300 if you exercise the policy.

The first year defects are covered by the manufacture.

I believe the sprint buy back on the evo 3d is $110. Not $280 stated above.

Down time is shorter to activate the 3d. I'm not sure if there is an activation charge. I guess there is.

There always seems to be tear down instructions in the sticky sections.

As usual people probably abused the system. And those of us that played by the rules get screwed.
[HTC EVO 3D] Riff76:
When I got the 3D last year, I got Best buy insurance, because I got their insurance they offered me a buy back which I had to purchase. So I paid them 30 last year to buy my 3D for 280. They won't give you that much if don't have their buy back.

I am told I must Flash a Clockwork Compatible Kernel to my Samsung GS2 before using Rom Manager for a new Rom. Is this correct??? and where do I get a Compatible Kernal ????
[General Questions and Answers] quircky:
I guess. My GS2 is using the RESURRECTION REMIX rom and my kernel is siyah.

Why use ROM Manager? Just download the ROM with zip extension that is available here in XDA then flash it using the recovery. I think it is much simplier and it works best for me. ;)

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devon411:
As the subject says guys, I rooted my gf's x10i and installed cwm via Flash tool 2.9.1. Was about to unlock the bootloader to install a custom rom when (I swear this was the dumbest moment in my entire life) I clicked the "Optimize button" (FOR NO REASON) I'm on 2.3.3, it said "phone rebooting", my phone did nothing so I disregarded it. however, when I restarted it, the phone went to the sony erricson screen and just shutdown and restarted again and again and again. I booted into cwm recovery but to my horror it kept saying sd card in use when i try to intall a zip from sd (which I learned from this site means it's the wrong ver. cwm for my phone) So the gist is phone restarts every 10-15 seconds, I can't use cwm properly because of the version. and flashtool because it keeps resetting so quickly.

PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bjornlindekens:
just simply reflash ? or use SEUS to flash stock software ?

i just read it again an saw the part where flashing wont work but i seem to be able to reflash before getting the SE logo ?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devon411:
Ok so walk me through this because I'm pretty new to it. When you say you reflash before you get to the SE logo. Does the phone have to be in fastboot? (hold back button?) because flashtool detects it and then it disconnects due to the restart. THANKS FOR THE REPLY!!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bjornlindekens:
the way i do it is

1 select what im flashing (then it will tell you to turn off phone etc.etc.)

2 remove battery

3 unplug phone

4 reconnect phone

5 hold back button and keep holding it

6 slide battery in while still holding back button

about 5-10 sec later it should get detected :s

i really hope this helps because i dont think theres anything you can do if you cant even manage to flash the phone :s

ill look for simular problems and/or info :s

---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------

this might be a stupid question but try recharging the phone a while if your not doing that already .
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devon411:
The charge light doesn't come on and yea with the 15 second restart, as soon as it is detected, like a few seconds later it restars and says disconnected. I looked all over and there is noone I find with a similar boot loop. I tried wiping my data via cwm recovery but same problem.

Ok so this might be a dumb ass thing to ask but I will ne way. If I can get a backup of someone else's x10 would I be able to apply it via cwm? Or will that fail like the zip install?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bjornlindekens:
i've bin looking around aswell and couldnt find any simular problem

so the only thing i can suggest is not keeping this in the X10 Q&A but try the general aswell this might attract more people scouting trough.

but tbh im unable to see any options because as im reading i collected this info.

1) cant fastboot/flash anything (no option there)

2) cant use CWM recovery cause its the wrong version and reads the internal flash memory (called sdcard) but not your external microsd card (called external1???)

(correct me if im wrong on the second one)

if this is the case what else is there ?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devon411:
Hey guys thanks a bunch, I reflashed using flashtool. Apparently once the flashing takes, flash mode stays on (go fig right? lol) I really do wanna say thank you to you guys who helped me esp Bjornlindekens (I hit thanks don't worry :P )

Guys

My titanium backup pretty much gets stuck on different apps every week. This time, it's hung up at 73% on shopsavvy 5.0.5, an app which I barely use and was definitely not open.I could start removing apps but it hangs on a different app each week

Anybody else seen these problems?

Thx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
I have. Not sure why but it will just randomly get stuck on an app until I force close it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sam008:
How do you force close it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
On some ROMs you can go into Developer Options and enable long press back to force close which is the easiest way. Or just go into your phone's Settings --> Apps then find Titanium and select force close. Or if using the stock launcher just drag it from your app drawer to your home screen where it says App Info.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jiunks:
AFAIK this only can be use in custom kernel, not the stock kernel. If you increasing your cpu voltage it will increasing the cpu heat and that is not recomended. But if you get the voltage lower(undervolt) you can get the same power of your cpu but with more cooler cpu.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigtill:
Not here mate,

Why would you want to "bend the tab" anyway?

It could be a dodgy tab you have got I suppose, how old is it? is it still under warranty?

If it is and you are unsatisfied then take it back.

As for your comment about it being of "poor quality", I am sorry but I beg to disagree with you there.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] typhoonikan:
I used SD-Booster with my EVO 4G.

I'm not sure if such an app would even work with ICS. Would it?

Would it be beneficial?

The reason I ask is to see if there is a difference when, say, loading music from the HTC Music app. It won't open an artist's albums unless it had read the album cover art(a slightly annoying requisite). Though, when looking through the gallery, the read times are amazing. All pictures load instantly.

It would be nice to speed that process up just a hair in the music app though.

:)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] helpwithmy8525:
Exactly what is SD-Booster? I have a 64GB microSDXC installed in my HTC EVO 4G LTE (yes, it works). I currently have about 36 GB of mp3s on the card, and depending on how I browse through it, it takes FOREVER for some playlists to load. It's especially slow when browsing by genre, or browsing "all music." Do I just have too much music? Or is there a way to really speed up the read time? Because it's a class 10 card.

[HTC Sensation] NorrRadd:
Has anyone noticed slow SD transfer since upgrading to ICS?

The simple copying of files from PC to SD has become unbearably slow. Even after fixing the SD (from the dialog that came up, not sure if it actually did anything) no change.

Taking the SD out and copying direct is very fast.

It wasn't like this on Gingerbread.

My Sensation is stock o/s, not rooted, I use Sense.

Note: I had posted this a few days back on a thread about reboots, no responses so reposting here as it's really a separate topic, hope that doesn't violate rules, etc.
[HTC Sensation] mzebrowski13:
With root, you can increase cache size your SD to 2048kb. You can also buy a faster card. What class you have now?
[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
I had a similar problem. My file transfer was only a little slower on ICS, but it was noticeable. On top of that, my SD card would unmount without warning during larger transfers. This was on a Lexar 32 GB Class 10.

I ended up pulling the card a week ago, backing up the contents to my PC and just reformatting the thing in my PC as FAT32. It came as FAT32 from the factory, but I've read a lot of posts where people fixed their SD errors by reformatting the card in a PC.

So far, no unexpected SD unmounts, and speed might be better. Or it could be my imagination. :rolleyes:

Not sure if this will fix your problem, but it's something to try if you have no other leads.
[HTC Sensation] Oomike:
I have a class 10 sans disk. Didn't notice any slow down going to ice really.. Not that I can remember what GB was like :) sd card was misaligned apparently according to 4ext. I formatted my sd with my PC, hit the default format settings, not quick format then stuck it in my phone.
[HTC Sensation] NorrRadd:
Thanks for the replies, they don't sound like my situation.

My card was always secure, and the copying is vastly different inside and outside the phone, so I can't fault the card.

Something is buffering between the phone and the card. The difference is night and day.

I can just take out the card and copy direct each time, but that's kinda stupid and inconvenient, there's got to be a better way. And I'd be surprised if it were only affecting my phone.

[HTC Sensation] realsis:
I think there is but I'm not sure of link but wanted to ask are you still stock battery? It helps a lot if you upgrade to a longer lasting battery say like Anker. I use Anker and its made a huge difference in my battery life. Also after flashing rom, make sure battery is at 100% then plug into charger, go into recovery, wipe battery stats, then unplug. This helps a lot. Also make sure things like sync is turned off for things you don't need, stop non needed running applications in the background, turn off blinking notifications , turn off feedback vibration ect, make sure backlight is minimum brightness, doing these things with a better battery will really help you! You will be surprised how much more time you get with Anker battery. I wish you the best! Hope you get the better battery because is really made a difference !

ps I'm running Ordroid 8.6.5 also :)

Hi, I was wondering if I can ask for a replacement when my note screen looks really greenish. Compared to the Psvita on the picture (which also has AMOLED screen), it looks much worse. Especially the white color just looks green. I notice it a lot.

Also had one more question, I flashed a stock german ICS ROM with odin over the GB one that came with my note. Do I have to flash back to stock GB or can I just keep stock ICS when I send it back to Samsung?

Thanks! :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nirak:
Well, you could give it a try, but don't expect to much of it, cuz the screen is not defective. If understood correctly slightly tinting (yellow,blue,green etc.) is a 'natural' part of the amoled technique.

Anywayz....give it a go but revert back to your stock GB first, just to be sure.

In case you won't get a replacement, my screen is kinda yellowish (compaired to my hubby's Note) and i use a screen filter ('filter your screen' from Kovic, it's in PlayStore) that works very well, it's not a fix but a workaround though.

Good luck!
