I guess the button holder must be detached on the inside of the phone. I suggest you download the service manual from samfire to disassemble the phone and fix it. Any broken part, buy it on ebay.

Hi guys,

I am tired of waiting for the official ICS update and went ahead and flashed the 'We want ICS' rom and it is GREEEEAT. I made a backup but just want to know if I can get all the apps I had before if I restore the backup or will it take me back to GB. I am on Android 4 now so do I restore or no? I did it using ROM manager
[HTC Incredible S] acme anvil:
Coming from GB to ICS, it's probably best to download your apps again or install apps only if you have a Titanium Backup.
[HTC Incredible S] owendesira:
Using Titanium Backup is not recommended...might cause problems in ROM and ud have to reflash. Install all apps again its the best way.
[HTC Incredible S] pec0ra:
It's probably a NAND backup you did. This backup contains images of all the partitions of your old ROM. So if you restore, it will restore GB as it was when you did the backup. To restore only your apps you should have used an app like Titanium Backup.

Edit : If you really want to restore you apps you can still restore GB from your Backup, install Titanium Backup, make a backup of your apps and flash again We Want ICS in which you will then be able to restore your apps (Edit 2 : you should use compro01's method, it's faster)
[HTC Incredible S] compro01:
2 options

1. redownload your apps - Easiest way is once you have the play store functioning on the device, just go to https://play.google.com/apps, log in, and wail on the install buttons.

2. if you don't want to do that (e.g. excessive drain on transfer cap and no wifi available) or can't for some reason (e.g. app was removed from the store, but you still want it, like the tricorder (CBS are assholes)), open up the backup folder (/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/[nameofbackup]. This is most easily accomplished on a computer rather than on the device) and open the data.[filesystem].tar file. All the apks for the installed apps are in the apps folder. system apps are in same folder in the system.[filesystem].tar file, but you're probably not interested in anything in there.

Just copy out the apks you're needing, and install away. You may need to turn on "install from unknown sources" under the development options.

Note that neither of these methods will preserve your settings from your apps nor any of their other data (saved games, passwords, etc.). if you have stuff you need for some reason, you'd need to go through the above mentioned 3rd option of backing up your current WWICS install, then restoring your previous ROM, backing up all your relevant apps with Ti or another app, restoring your backup of the WWICS ROM, and using Ti/whatever to restore the backed up apps, all whilst hoping that restoring apps from different bases doesn't break things too horribly.
[HTC Incredible S] zukri90:
I prefer titanium backup because my app data will also be backup'd :)
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
What's the method you should use for titanium? As I redownloaded titanium on my rom and it wouldn't find the backed up data I backed up about 10mins previous
[HTC Incredible S] mr nick:
Check to see what filters are in use, if any. If you set a filter to show only uninstalled apps you should see your backups.
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
Ahh.... I'll have a look next time I flash a new rom
[HTC Incredible S] nesha983:
You must be very carefull when using titanium backup and changing roms,since you are coming from GB to ICS thats a completly new and different version of OS and may have problems when restoring too many apps, I suggest that you restore backups one by one app, so if you get some Fc's you can see which app is to blame,and definitly do not restore any settings or system apps
[HTC Incredible S] optimus0208:
I use Titanium Backup :D
[HTC Incredible S] Burtrum57:
I use My Backup and it is great. I have found no problems restoring all my apps between different roms.

And if you need to you can either restore the app or app and data
[HTC Incredible S] samgurung:
I installed Nike aura ics and then used titanium to backup my apps from a gingerbread rom I was using... Haven't had any fc till now
[HTC Incredible S] FCArsenal:
Thanks guys!! I reinstalled all apps again from the play store but there should be a faster way of doing this. It was a pain but I had to do it. Its great now!!

Hello people.

I have a big problem, I have a note galaxy about 8 days and it stopped working the camera. Nothing appears when I open the camera, just the screen goes black and does not appear anything, sometimes appears an error message and sometimes recording appears The image of the camera for about 2 seconds and closes soon after and error. I'm still in version 2.3.5 possou and how little time he has not even put a firware no official or custom, or is he zeroed in ta This requirement rom.

I wonder if anyone ever had this problem here, if this can be a problem system or physical?

Still not done anything, just gave a reset, but did not work. Anyone have any solutions?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhasg1007:
Just update to ICS rom and check with the camera, if its the same then you might have a camera hardware failure send it to service center

good as I said before, once in a while the camera shows a picture but then immediately closes, ie the camera is working, looking more like a ta sw error. Today when I get home I'll try to upgrade to 2.3.6 as it is in 2.3.5, do not wanna go to ics. but someone there had a similar problem?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tragicallyhip:
Hi all,

I just installed CM9 on my Touchpad earlier today, and whenever I try to perform ANY task with sound (e.g. typing on the keyboard, receiving a notification, playing music, etc.), I hear a loud, sharp series of static-filled pops, almost like the sound of gunfire on one of the old G.I. Joe tanks I played with as a kid.

I've searched multiple forums, but couldn't find any specific issues such as this. Everything else seems to be working well so far, I just don't know if it's something I can potentially fix, if I should reflash, or if I totally messed something up!

FWIW, the Touchpad was jailbroken before, but I don't think that matters for a different partition.(?)

- Anyway, the tablet is running CM build 9-20120329 Nightly tenderloin (Build# IML74K)

Thanks in advance for any help!
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
To say you searched and found no info is pretty much a lie since it's a well documented issue some Touchpads have with audio.... If the last few nightly ROMs don't fix it then you have one of those Touchpads that is just gonna have issues
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tragicallyhip:
You are foolish. Dead stupid, in fact. I searched, and unless you'd like to link it up, the "documented" audio issues involve audio not working, speaker/headset confusion, and static or distortion occurring especially when the screen shut off. NOTHING about not working at all.

I fixed it on my own, but not with thanks to you. Since calling you a douchebag could violate forum rules, I'll simply state that your attitude would be symptomatic of having the personality of a douche.

And I got it fixed by myself, by the way. Clown.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
Getting it fixed on your own is what you should've done on your own instead of crying about it and wanting to be spoonfed the answer

No I ain't stupid... when i have problem's 99% of the time I get them fixed on my own crybaby
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbradt:
Cdzo.... How have you not been banned yet. I've yet to see you do anything but put people down in the touchpad section. For someone who claims numerous times to never have been spoonfed anything and always finds solutions on their own.. You don't seem to know a whole heck of a lot.

Anyhow, have you tried doing a clean install? Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik or try another ROM?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbradt:
And if you're going to use nightly builds I would suggest going with a more recent one.. I have no issues with the latest.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TedSamaha:
I would suggest that you use the latest nightly build to... if you're still experiencing the error after flashing. Then I suggest that you use webos doctor to format the touchpad and reinstall cm9 without any MODS. (Have you applied the Mic Fix?)
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
Yeah you know a lot too dontcha... especially since you suggested go with a recently nightly just like I did.

Why have I not been banned? That's easy! I haven't cursed or flamed anyone! I merely call it like it is. Just like those that tell me not to read the newbie posts that clutter the forum, my advice to the rest of you is the same... if you don't like what I have to say to a post then don't read it. Just like the newbie thinks they can post without putting forth some effort then I think I can respond what the VAST majority of the more experienced would like to say but don't dare or just don't have the time.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ace9988:
although if you followed the 'advice' of others about not posting that kind of stuff...it would have a bigger effect than you telling others not to read your post. i'm not suggesting you to be banned....but leave the moderating to the mods....im sure one day they'll get fed up of the same threads being made again and again and again and decide to put their foot down. Till then just offer advice without the bluntness. at the end of the day it's not like you're hosting xda that all these threads are taking up your server space and you end up paying more, so chill out

its not like what you're saying is total bs (unlike countless others ive seen)....there are other ways to say it though and yours isn't really a good way. That's how i call it, regardless of what others are saying for you to be banned for just pointing out that someone's done something SLIGHTLY wrong (albeit with some anger)
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
I appreciate your comments but the putting the foot down was supposed to go down last year with the iron fist rules but all I saw was the situation get worse. And as long as most folks respond to the noobs just to feel good about themselves the problem will not go away
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ace9988:
Then I'd suggest emailing the mods for each time you see that....they can't ban you based on spamming if you show them the bit where they said to come down iron fist rules regrading these threads....food for thought
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tragicallyhip:
czdo, I'm waiting for the link to the specific problem that I was having. Since your searching prowess is vastly superior to mine, it shouldn't be a problem for you. Unless you really are just trying to be a jerk. Prove someone wrong or get off the pot.

This is me, a n00b, calling you out.

Thank you to the two others who suggested the latest nightlies. I had seen that the build I used had few reported problems other than Wifi, so I tried that first before I went to anything newer!
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ace9988:
two wrongs don't make a right dude.

If you could film the sound or put a clip of it it might help cuz the audio produces loads of noises not just one

I open up Chrome to go visit xda on my Galaxy Nexus (Stock, Unrooted, converted to yakju through this thread), and I get a popup and redirected to mobgifts.org

I've attached a screenshot of this scam. I'm a little concerned that I may have somehow gotten hijacked...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Druter:
I am getting this too, it started a couple of weeks ago, at first I thought it was a pop up from the site I had been visiting, but now it's happening with other sites. I am on a stock rom bell Canada Galaxy S II. Anyone have any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlueBagodah:
I have done some further testing and have discovered that the site hijack only comes up for me when I go to http://xda-developers.com .

It doesn't matter if I'm on wifi or cell data. I did a full factory reset, as well as re-flashing 4.0.4 again, and right after first boot, it still redirects me. I've even tried it without letting Android restore my phone.

Is it a problem with my phone, or with the xda site?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Druter:
I got it on XDA as well but I am getting it on other sites with increasing frequecy, for example, icefilms.info, and demonoid.me. I dont think it's an issure with just the xda website
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
It's just a clever popup on the internet. A lot of people here will see it because a lot of people visit XDA.

There is nothing wrong with your phone and no need to panic or wipe.

There was also a thread about this yesterday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Druter:
uhhhhhhhh It's more than just on xda, I think it's a little more than just a clever pop up too.

its just the ad supplier that multiple sites use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
I didn't say it was just XDA. I said a lot of people on this forum will see it because they visit XDA. It isn't infecting your phone with anything, it is a popup.

Here is the other thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1706480&page=2

I'm starting to think that it's Google Adsense serving these ads to people. All of these sites almost all use Google Adsense in some form to back fill ads.

This is happening to both Android and iPhones - only through mobile browsers. My guess is that this shady ass advertiser is targeting mobile browsers through Adsense.

From what I can tell, the ads are somehow attached to a site called blueAds.com, at least that's where they redirect from.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlueBagodah:
Not to say that I'm glad to hear, but at least there's some corroboration. I tried to do some research, and the whois record isn't helpful, and all that comes up for any search on mobgifts is a site called downocean(or something like that).

My Scam alarms just started going off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Druter:
I concur on that point, a lot of the searches on this topic. Bring the downocean name up again and again. Especially when you type how do I get rid of. Its definitely got some javascript going on, when I turn JS off I don't seem to get the the pop ups.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ri123:
I wonder if browsers such as opera show pop ups.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theking_13:
As said before, I got it on demonoid.me.

I didn't freak out tho. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rmean:
Whenever this occurs, just set the browser to show desktop version :)

they detect that you're mobile and (for whatever reason) only then show you ads.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n2ishun:
Y'all need to ge adfree and allow it to run a "hosts" file on your phone that blocks the popups domain via a *loopback*.

Presto, no more popup.

I've never gotten a popup on opera (my broswer of choice), but then, I've always run adfree since I can't stand those little advertisement windows you get in some games (can we say "angry birds?).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonka_thompson:
I don't think this is just as simple as a advertising pop up.

I loaded chrome for the 1st time since I factory reset my phone a few weeks ago, went to the Manchester city FC site ( from a link so no other sites were touched ) which is a site that has no advertising on it and the pop up occurred.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kompre:
It happened to me twice when I launched a link to pocketnow.com from Google Reader app.

But now I am not able to replicate the issue.

I run an antivurus scan with AVG and nothing found.

I also run Ad Network Detector to see if there where some bad Ad network linked with recent app, but I found nothing unusual.

Oh, I am going to report this issue via chrome feedback. Maybe they can patch this if it is really their fault. I suggest everyone with this same issue does the same
