[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
I'm not abandoning my Epic, it's worth more to keep than to sell... but I'm running out of things to do with it. And apparently I'm running out of users to share with. My files downloaded are at half the rate they were just 3 months ago.

There's even less questions to answer (repetitive or not), most discussion is on new devices rather than the Epic 4G... Yes, lot's of users, are, have, and likely always will pay the full price rather than waiting a couple of months to subsidize most of the cost. I don't have that freedom of flowing cash... so here I wait for my upgrade to arrive. :D
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffro18:
I still have 140 days or so for my upgrade discount, the lady has about 40. I'll still be around for a bit. Even after my upgrade I'll be checking in as I plan on letting my daughters use these 2 epics as wifi devices for games, music, and netflix.

But I have to say, Marcus raises an interesting question; I spend quite a bit of time in the OG Evo forums (having had as many as 3 on my acct, once upon a time) and I still see a lot of activity over there. And that phone turned 2 on June 4! But they also still seem to have a lot of development going on. New devs have come on to replace the originals. If Kenny hadn't stepped up to make TPR, we'd have only 1 dev left (Random) who does TW development.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vinotas:
I haven't updated my my old faithful Vibrant in a while (then again, it's running amazingly fast and smooth and battery life is up in the 12+ hours range after average use) and was curious about Ice Cream Sandwhich. From what I've seen, it's fantastic, everyone loves it, yadda yadda yadda.

My Vibrant is running Froyo 2.2 with BionixNext Gen V2 ROM, Tigersblood Kernel and a KB5 Modem.

So my question: is there a way to flash to ICS without going back to stock 2.1 and doing so straight from the phone? Or do I need to go the whole Odin/laptop/USB cable route?

And any good recs for ROMs running on 2.2 in case I can't flash ICS? I'm a tad tired of Bionix.

Thanks all!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex9090:
Download ics rom, download subzero or glitch kernel. Flash kernel, reboot recovery or use 3 buttons to get into recovery and flash ics.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
You can do what Alex says.

Look at the link in my signature on a more detailed description of the process.

Just so you know, if you decide ICS isn't for you then you will have to go the Odin route back to non-ICS. Also there is a very real danger of getting the dreaded Encryption Error Bug (see top of my ICS guide for more details) .
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTz KeeFy:
As long as you didn't update to Froyo through Samsung Kies you should be OK. If you used Kies, revert to stock then cm7 then ICS.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vinotas:
Crap, I think I did upgrade using Kies, but it's been so long I forgot. Once I had Froyo, Bionix and Tigersblood running well I never flashed anything so it's been a while since I tinkered with the phone.

Thanks all, I'll look into the guides a bit more (been reading many of them and there are several different ways of doing this which is why I posted, I wanted to be absolutely sure before flashing).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTz KeeFy:
There is a good video that covers how to flash from stock to ICS. Go to YouTube and search djeddieone and go to his YouTube page. He also has a video on how to get back to stock if your not sure how. I personally used his methods when i first started flashing and had no trouble at all.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imilleson:
Easiest Method from 2.2 to 4.0

Bro its cake:

Install CWM Recovery

Reboot into recovery.

Wipe data, then wipe cache

Install from ZIP.

Optionally install the Google Apps add-on.

Reboot.

You can optionally install a kernal like glitch but not necessary - I recommend Icy Glitch V14
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Just so you know there may have been some very creative editing in the video. It doesn't cover everything and is a bit outdated also. I have read that people get stuck in some parts of it and also that some get through to full flash. Just take care.

Some will have to flash CM7 as an intermittent step between 2.2 and 4.0. It helps convert the /system partion to MTD correctly and smoothly. It isn't required but a good idea. (Note: flashing CM7 will

not

give you Gingerbread Bootloaders which are also no longer required but heavily recommended)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diavolos:
hello guys, at the moment i own an apple iphone 4 jailbroken, and i had some issues with the device's hardware since 2 years ago, so im thinking of selling it and get a new phone, BUT i DONT want to go at apple again, so 4S is not an option for me.

i searched a bit and im interested into Samsung Galaxy S III

about its hardware is a top end phone atm, but im a bit feared about the Android os because ive heard some bad things from friends users of lower end android phones. so im refering at you guys who own and use SGS3 with normal and rooted os to advice me about its stability over time and usage on apps

So my final question is, SGS3 with Android 4.0.4 ICS stock or rooted, did you have any problems with it? laggs on menus/apps over time of usage or crashes or reboots etc?

Cause with iphone 4 and ios jailbroken i had it for 2 years and i never encountered a single error or crash and never had to format it to stock firmware due to problem except when i was updating versions of ios.

thank you for your time guys

i look forward your replys to talk about it and find a conclusion
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
Well if you're looking to go the android route, congratulations as you have found the right place. The S3 is the best android device right now, best performer, very smooth device. Just get it there's millions of reason why you should do so search on the forum. Also read this article from the verge, a guy that switched from an iPhone to android :

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aridon:
The thing about Android is you can make it do just about anything you want. So if it's not doing or looking the way you want post and someone can direct you in the right direction.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuff:
There really aren't any bugs with Android itself. Typically all the bugs come from the third party software; SGS TouchWiz, HTC Sense UI, etc. But, with the software more advanced and Android being out for quite some years, Samsung and HTC have fixed multiple problems with their UI's. They maybe have a handful of bugs, if that. And a device of this caliber is not going to have any problems, IMO.

I promise if you decide to buy an Android device, you will not be disappointed. Those that usually are usually buy the low end phones and expect high end performance; it just does not work that way.

High end phone = high end performance and a happy you :P
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyb3rGlitch:
The SGS3 is very stable, and it can be rooted without problems pretty easily. It's the best Android phone I've ever used.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diavolos:
thank you all for your replys guys, its good to hear all those good words about SIII and android cause for some reasons im sick of apple and i dont want to buy their product again, (ex my iphone gave me 3 problems of faulty hardware right after it passed the 1 year warranty, the home button stopped working, i fixed it, after 1 month the power button stopped working, i fixed it, and now when the phone gets hot some yellow spots appear on the supposively best mobile screen "retina"..... and im really angry towards apple cause of these because that phone costed me 830 euros, plus the parts i bought to replace the broken flexes of the buttons, and thats because im electronic technician and i replaced them myself, else i would have spent a ton of money on their service to fix it up)

summary, ill do some research on your forums guys about S3 etc, but definitely in 1 or maybe 2 weeks ill buy S3

thank you again for everything

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sak500:
Traded my iphone 4 32gb jailbroken / unlocked using SAM and hoped they woudn't notice it and got good trade value. Bought SIII and was trying to sell my other android phone LG Optimus 3D to get 4S but when i started using SIII and saw what 4S is, now i dont want to go back to iOS till maybe the OS becomes fully customizable and not as freaking hard to transfer files/upgrade to new os/ install 3rd party software / not to lose sms/contacts when upgrading and tons more headaches 've had with iphones over last 2 years. Which means probably never :D

[HTC Rezound] V0latyle:
I have a 2012 Volkswagen GTI with the RNS-315 nav system. I noticed the other day when trying to call my wife via the nav that somehow the directory the phone sends doesn't have her number - only her name. I tried via both voice commands, and from the navigation display. I tried unpairing/repairing the phone, power cycling the phone, editing the contacts, etc...I have a vague feeling it might have something to do with having the contacts linked (Google to Facebook and Skype, etc) but I don't know for sure. I know it isn't the nav system because it's worked before, and I can dial her number manually via voice or from the nav screen. Bluetooth works fine otherwise; I can place a call from either the phone or the car.

I haven't tried clearing out my contacts yet; I want to avoid that. I also haven't tried (but will) calling a non-linked contact vs linked.

I'm running CleanROM 4.5, stock kernel, nothing special.

Anyone else had issues with their phones sending names without numbers in contact lists?

hey there im really a noob, i have the at&t htc one xl running the 1.85 update abd can seem to get past the "ADB is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file" please help so i can use 1.85 root script please and thank you:(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] d.cortez:
did you download a script zip file and then unzip the contents to a directory on your computer? if yes, is the file adb.exe in the folder where you unzipped the contents? the message "ADB is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file" means your computer can't find the program adb.exe. might retrace your steps to ensure you completed each one correctly.

i'd also suggest providing more detail on what you're trying to do, what tool/file you're using and a little more detail on the steps you taken prior to getting the error message. that will help us/others help you.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] k4p741nkrunch:
Sounds like you downloaded a root script in a zip file, but you never unzipped it. For whatever root-script.zip you downloaded you will need to double click it and extract the files somewhere, maybe to your desktop. The main point here is to extract the files, as just opening the .zip and clicking root.bat won't work. Doing that would result in the error you are seeing.

Hope that helps.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramsdesk:
Friends,

I tried to follow the instructions given in a web page to complete the flashing of new firmware for my Galaxy Tab 10.1 wifi. When I used the md5 file and pressed start, after some time the flash failed and the tab power turned off.

I also downloaded the actual latest firmware file named P7510UEKMM_XABKMM_USA_Android_3.2 and tried to use the md5 file in this one and this also failed.

And there were instructions like the below but I could not find anywhere those md5 files.

Click PDA button and select: CODE_P7510xxxxx_CL317542_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.m d5

Download the rom for your tab, unzip it (if it wants a password is either samfirmware.com or samsung-firmwares.com) and put the extracted file (either it will be a .md5 or a .tar file) to the PDA section and flash!

@Panos - Thanks

I downloaded from a different site tsar3000.com but they are talking about many md5 files which were not there in the downloader.

I tried again with another site androiddevices.com but that also did not help.

I will try downloading the zip file for USA from the site you have mentioned and report back issues if any.

BTW - will this zip file contain the ROM file.. not sure what this ROM file mean? and should I unzip or expand the md5 file?

Kindly advice.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panos_dm:
Just unzip the file you will download and you will have a file with a .tar or .mr5 extension. Use this file "as is" on the PDA section of odin, just like melodystyle2003 said! This is the rom file you ask for. Rom and firmware is the same thing.

Connect to pc, tablet in download mode, select pda on Odin1.85 program, choose this Md5 file, and press start. After 2'06" your tablet will reboot itself and Odin1 should be turned green showing OK or Ready. That's it!

[HTC One S] simjo4565:
Her are Steal25's edits - they work perfectly on the One S:

You need a file explorer that allows root access like RootExplorer. After navigating to the /system directory, make sure you enable read/write access and open the build.prop file in a text editor.

In the build.prop file, you need to find this line:

ro.da1.enable=true

And you’ll need to change it to:

ro.da1.enable=false

Then add this line just below:

ro.da1.method=false

Save the file and reboot, and you should be good to go.
