Thanks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
You need to flash the ROM prior to the kernel. Doing otherwise, the ROM (usually including a kernel) will overwrite your kernel of choice.

ALSO, it doesn't seem like this package is compatible with your phone since it errors out at the model number. Choose a different ROM or contact the ROM maker.

Edit: If you want to transfer something else to your phone, go to Mounts and storage then Mount USB storage. Then connect your phone to your PC, a new drive should pop up. This is your SDcard contents.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liqlee:
Thanks a lot,

Now my computer can see/copy to/from it.

now I need to find some right/compatible ROMs only, right? no need for kernel.

Best,
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Most if not all ROMs will include a kernel.

Yes you need a ROM that is compatible with your phone. It is strange that this one doesn't work, might be a bad download or simply an error for some reason. Post in fergie's thread, who did the ROM port, if you need help.

I've been having problems with my WiFi getting stuck at turning on. I've tried several different things to try to resolve the problem, many of them suggestions from this forum. I've tried:

-Flashing several different roms. GB, ICS, Froyo

-Using the supplicant wipe method.

-Using WiFix

-Flashing several different radios.

Nothing seems to get it to work. It all started when I was running FlashMOD 1.3 and my phone died. Since then I have not been able to get it to work.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Ugh, I hate to ask this but do you wipe /system before you flash a ROM?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chomanator:
I've tried several different kernels, especially considering different ROMs were flashed.

Also, yes I have done a full wipe between every flash. I use the wipe all but SD option in 4EXT before any ROM is flashed on my device.

my Huawei U8800pro got restarted and opening in Blue screen.. I have connected to PC and only 255MB showing in removable disk. I have tried to switch on holding volume button, and pink screen coming.

Could anyone help me to hard reset this phone. Please guide me
[HTC One X] salomaoa:
Today, when checking my phone's battery drain (because I suspected something was wrong since it drained about 20% in just 5 hours, beeing in deep sleep) I found that my screen was on for 1.30h.

That was very weird because I have used the phone for little time and couldn't understand why my HOAX reported 1.30h of screen time.

So I made a test. Kept looking at the screen and... voila! I found that it turns on by himself for apparently no reason since I didn't even touched it.

I digged into any opened apps and closed them all but the screen keeps turning on randomly. Even weired, when it turns on, if I press the on/off button to force it beeing off, it turns on again immediately.

What can be causing this behaviour? Anyone with a similar experience that could give an advise?

Thank you a lot

[LG Optimus 3D] mikeeey:
I'm just wondering if anyone else has been able to make a second partition on their O3D/Thrill. I'm not sure if this problem I'm having is a limitation to the phone, or rom.

I'm using an LG Thrill with v20c baseband, Prometheus V1.4 rom.

I'm following this guide here:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning

I have a 32gb micro sd. I've made my 2nd partition 10gb as ext2. When I put it in the phone it reads it, says it's ready to read/write media (in notifications bar). I then go to link2sd, it automatically asks me if the 2nd partition is ext2, ext3, ext4, or fat32/fat16. I tried ext2 and it says:

"Mount script cannot be created. mount: mounting /dev/block/vold/179:18 on /data/sdext2 failed: Invalid argument.

I then put it back into my computer and formated to fat32, same thing, then ext4, same thing. Each time I put it back into my computer Gparted sees the 2nd partition as "unknown", so I believe android is changing the partition type to something unrecognizable.
[LG Optimus 3D] mikeeey:
Well, being I haven't got a reply yet, I'll ask this,

Has anyone with an Optimus 3D partitioned their SD card?
[LG Optimus 3D] cnblue:
Oh i did & got it worked but I stopped using the link2sd partitioning my sdcard, because somethings you should know. Well first, the sd has to be fat32 & when asking about the 2nd partition, chose fat32 and then reboot the phone. I tried ext2 or ext whatever just never work. After reboot and link2sd ask the same thing again, just pick the fat32 partion and reboot again. It worked for me after 3 reboot, strange don't know why.

Lastly, just let you know the 1st partition of the SD card won't show on your phone because theres already internal SD and external_SD folder only show the 2nd partition of SD card. But the 2nd partition won't show on your pc to transfer files, if you know what i mean. Like I wanted to use the 1st partition for music/movies and 2nd for apps (link2sd) but you have to partition the SDcard for the link2sd to work. So the external_SD folder is for 2nd partition, I looked everywhere for the movie on the 1st partition but never found it or maybe I should try root explorer...well I don't know maybe there's someone can help us out about the 1st partition OR maybe just my O3D :confused: SORRY for the long reading! lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ericmtnbkr:
How risky is it to restore apps backed up in TiBu on GB to a new ICS install? I imagine some apps would install differently depending on whether your ROM is GB or ICS.

Another question, are apk's from Play Store downloads saved to your phone? I guess instead of the TiBu route I could pull the apk's off my phone and then batch install with Android Injector.

Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
Can't hurt to try, but don't be surprised if it doesn't work. Apps are stored as apks in /data/app, but if you just restore those you won't have the app data.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jman42028:
Personally I would always reccomend a full wipe and not restoring aps even if its ics to ics.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
Well, of course do a full wipe; as for restoring apps, it won't hurt if it ends up not working, just reinstall it fresh, and it saves time if it does work.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
You can restore your apps, but can't restore data. However, I've noticed some apps don't like to be re-installed going back to GB. Youtube is one for sure.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mojorisin7178:
Hey I was reading about the sgs3 and I was under the impression that it would be a quad core but in the official tmo article it say this: a Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ S4 Processor with 1.5 GHz Dual-Core CPUs and 2GB of RAM, the Galaxy S III also offers a large, 2100mAh battery to power hours of on-the-go entertainment.

So are they saying it is going to have 2 dual core cpu's =ing a quad core or is it just a dual core? I am not the brightest person so maybe one of you can set me straight. Because I would rather just not spend the money until a quad core comes out. I will be happy with my SGS2 runing AOKP for now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] byt3b0mb:
the international version will have (1) quad core exynos chip - the us variants have (1) dual core 1.5 chip.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Vzqsmooth56:
basically

the international version has a quad core processor, all U.S variants have a dual core processor.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Beefvvl:
Here's your answer lol.

I don't get why you people want a quadcore phone. I bet most of your computers aren't even quadcore. Don't really see a need for it to run the things we have on our phones. I doubt any apps will utilize all 4 cores.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bFORTIFIED:

HAS

to be better then two right? Arent there multiple instances where dual core android devices out perform quad cores?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] unlvmike:
Its just so they can run to their friends and say they have a quad core phone. I completely agree. There is absolutely no need for a quad core yet.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] funeralthirst:
europe (and most of the rest of the world) is dominated by hspa+ and not lte. qualcomm is the only soc producer that has integrated lte into the soc (so it doesn't get terrible battery life like the gnexus) so they get the exynos and tegra socs, we get krait s4.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] PJcastaldo:
LMAO.. Spects.. :p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] webstas:
are there any specific reasons the quad causes problems with the lte modem?

I googled it and cannot find anything.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] joshnichols189:
The quadcore doesn't "cause problems" but the SoC does not have an LTE modem in it. LTE would require a separate modem/chip.

On the dualcore Qualcomm SoCs, the LTE modem is physically a part of the chip.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blk_jack:
I believe I've identified the issue and have a fix forthcoming. It seems to affect all CM9 based roms and is caused by an upstream CM9 patch. As a workaround for now, someone in the thread mentioned changing the wifi security mode.

Haven't tried that but since the issue revolves around the dhcp daemon, try connecting to your phone's wifi hotspot using a static ip rather than dhcp, that has been tested and works.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toquer:
not CM9 based

i use CM9b13 and have been using that branch for a while since like cm9b5. i used wireless tether on a daily basis. i can't survive without it.

i flashed mimicry v1.1.0 and it doesn't work with DHCP, but i read that you can manually configure the IP address and it'll work. but finding the subnet and gateway the phone is issuing ins't an easy task. likely need to use some archaic dos commands.

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirWizzAlot:
Ever since I first gazed on windows phone, I fell in love with the UI and fluidity of the system. To this day, after using three dual-core android devices and the iPhone, WP7 still sits on the seamless OS throne. If there was two things I'd like for windows to implement in WP8, one would be a landscape home screen option. Given WP's new found support for higher res devices, more content can fit on the screens and instead of scrolling downward infinitely, users would be able to have a panoramic experience with the home screen like that found elsewhere throughout the OS.

The second addition would be more aesthetically pleasing and functional live tiles. The two tonedness of the tiles makes the OS look drab, and the fact that live tiles have been a driving point for WP7 yet many apps don't take advantage of them somewhat angers me. Recently I saw an article on engadget about Sharp's Feel UX for android, which features a live tile rip off which boasts a more polished presentation than Microsoft's brain child. In my opinion, if the OS looked better, then sales wouldn't be stagnant. But I fear the minimalistic tiles are here to stay.

The King of Devices will never die ! Had my HD2 a looong time and it still beats the crap out of all my friends brand new phones :P

And I'm really hoping for a HD2 port so I can try WP8 before I buy a new WP8 phone.

The things I wish them to implement is a notification center where you can see all the apps notifications and such, and it would be sweeter than anything if it was a slide away from the start screen, like

notification center < Start Screen > start menu

And they should work on implementing more social networks, since their motto is "Put people first" ;)

Otherwise it's a damn perfect start screen they're showing us. Been watching the video like 6 times already and everytime they show the new start screen I get the chills :P Just love it !

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirWizzAlot:
Dragon diction would be a nice addition. I personally don't order my phone to do anything verbally, nor care for transcription services, but I can see the appeal such services may have for other users. The back-up option would be a god-send, especially for users running WP on the HD2. Having to start from scratch after flashing a rom is annoying.

The ability to sideload apps is a pipe dream. Microsoft doesn't expect or allow true development to their OS. Yeah you can create apps for WP but tweaking the registry and bootlegging apps are not things Microsoft will support, ever. That's why I have an android device. As another user pointed out, a centralized notifications menu would be a nice touch, but could be a bit redundant given live tiles.

To really seal the deal on WP in general, Microsoft needs to revamp the marketplace ie. Make it more user friendly. One flaw with the WP market and IOS App Store is that they bring you back to the homescreen/app list after making a purchase. For a person like me who usually does batch installs, this "feature" pisses me off!

I'm expecting this one-

At the conference Microsoft never went to the apps list on the right. Not even to demonstrate pinning an app. To me, that means they're hiding something!
