[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nick0703:
Hi guys, I have a friend that just got the Gnex two days ago and today she is telling that she is having problem with her camera. So I took a look at it and it seems that camera won't open.

When I select it, the screen just goes black and goes back to app drawer. I tried to clear camera data and force stop it and still it doesn't want to open. And she is running stock 4.0.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nick0703:
Any suggestions guys???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pesc96:
Why not try an Update to 4.0.4?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nick0703:
I'll tell her to try that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DLD511:
If you root that'll fix it. Lol

But dont do thst. just update. If that fails. Pull the sim card and leave it out for 5 min. If that doesn't work, then factory restore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Factory restore first if you don't want to manually flash the update.

"Long is the way, and hard, that out of hell leads up to light."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nick0703:
Yeah, I don't want to root her phone yet. I'll let her enjoy it first then I'll root it and maybe install a custom ROM on it.

But yeah, the update failed, it says that the "4.0.2" is the latest version and I tried doing your trick but it didn't work. I'll keep trying, if it doesn't work then I'll Factory Restore it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nick0703:
This is strange, I reboot her phone and now camera is working??:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theking_13:
Wow, you didn't think of that before?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] redstar427:
Is this a windows phone? :P

Rebooting fixes something? Is this a windows phone? :P he he, I am glad it is fixed. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Really this should have been the first thing done but you don't have to act like a know it all about it.

"Long is the way, and hard, that out of hell leads up to light."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nick0703:
The reboot was like a temp fix.:( She's is still getting the problem. I'll tell her to do a Factory restore now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nick0703:
It seems that doing a Factory Restore fixed the problem. I'm going to tell her to do a few test with the camera to confirm that it's working properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theking_13:
This works, done it on both my gfs Sprint Galaxy Nexus.

1. Clear data from the Camera app, disable it after. Reboot.

2. Enable the Camera app, there shouldn't be any data to clear, and reboot again.

3. Presto, should work now. Would've fixed her first Nexus permanently, but she dropped it in water. Hope this helps. :)

Also, never had this problem on my GSM Gnex, but that might be because I'm not running stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nick0703:
I'll definitely try that if she gets the problem again. Thanks! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
Windows phone can be fixed by rebooting??? Wow.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] truthlesshero:
just a quick question...

i'm using aokp (build 38...since 39 gave me some fruity boot loops)

i'm wondering if there is a place where you can switch power "modes" like you could with a stock rom...i.e. power-save, balanced and performance

i understand there's no widget or toggle to do this like the stock version has..but even CM9 and gummy had additional options where you could switch it

also, is there any benefits in being able to switch it, since i'm using motley's kernel? or should i just use a certain governor with certain max/min frequencies?

thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tstern0112:
I'm by no means an expert on this stuff but I have made a few observations based on my usage of AOKP on all my devices... There is not a specific setting to change the power modes that I'm aware of/found. I know what you're referring to in CM9, they have that option to switch, AOKP does not. I will say though that I like AOKPs more than CM9 because of all the other customization stuff you can do (sorry CM9). I have noticed really great battery life with AOKP so I don't even mess with the governor. Also, I had the same problem with 39, had to back down to 38, not sure what was going on there.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] dmunjal:
I have a Samsung Tab 8.9 LTE from ATT. I think it's called the i-957. Today, I turned it on and it flashed the Samsung logo and stayed on it until I powered down. Now it won't even turn on. I've tried everything, including Odin and recovery model. It doesn't respond at all.

Does anyone have any ideas? I don't even get a battery indicator when plugged in.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:
Read the thread by alboy as well as the da g oc thread. Same thing happened to him.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] neubauej:
Happened to me too.

I warrantied it as I didn't need another paperweight.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] dmunjal:
Thanks. I sent in to Samsung for warranty as well. Does it matter if I rooted and OCed it?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] the-weatherman:
Aouch, I hope for you they don't figure it out, because any flash using Odin voids the warranty :/
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cursed Pirate:
[Q] XPERIA X10a "Camera Activity not responding" or "Camera not available"

I know it has been a while since I posted anything to help out but I am on the truck trying to find a cure but I need a little help.

Mods: Sorry for starting a new thread but it is needed and if you would so kindly as to delete any stating that "the fix is easy, go here or there", cause it is not an easy fix.

So I have 2 Sony Xperia X10a's and 1 the camera works and the other does not.

Its pretty easy why though the dc charging port does not work on the one that did not get updated.

Now, I have tried everything erasing this deleting that, downgrading upgrading, backing up the image from the good (working xperia) to the old. Nothing works so I went ahead and installed launcherpro and did the link for service menu on both phones. Guess what I think I found the issue but I am stuck on figuring the fix at the moment.

http://i50.tinypic.com/9suxye.jpg

The Xperia Camera dont work:

ETS Software Version: 1225-9698_7

The Xperia camera does work:

ETS Software Version: 1225-9698_8

All other Info is the same

To install Launcher Pro, search on market or Sony play its free install then hold press screen, create shortcut, select activity, then scroll down to service menu and click to expand the files, then select the first one. "com.sonyericsson.android.servicemenu.ServiceMainMenu" then just click the icon and then select service info, software info.. This will bring you the screen I have listed.. then hitting back back back will exit the menu..

I have looked for way of trying to change to the newer version but it does not seem to be in my ability. Also the camera it self is not the problem I have removed the camera from one and put in the other and the camera works. This is not a hardware issue.

If anyone has any ideas on how to update this please post the steps to do so.. Upgrading/downgrading the firmware will not correct this. The file remains the same. Also seeing "No file found" under memory card does not effect anything.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
So you are asking a question, yet you post it in General instead of Q&A and you judge people's answers a priori? :confused:

Anyway, thread moved to the correct section.

That link Does not work, So I do not know if you were directing me to a place or instructions.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THeLogiC:
did you try flashing back to 2.1 as camera firmware updated while updating to 2.1
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cursed Pirate:
I will give that a try, I will goto 1.6 then do the stock firmware update to 2.1 and see if it works I will give an update thank you for that ideal.

Ok gave that a shot. I actually went to 1.0 version and then tried the sony update and it brought me to 3.0.1 again. Check the service menu and still ETS is ******-7 so that didnt update that way.

Then I tried 1.0 to 2.1 through X10flashtool w/freexrecovery, did not root or install any mods and check again service menu still *******-7 , This is really a bump in the road.

If we as a whole could figure out how to update the ETS software in the service menu to *****-8 I am sure the camera is will be solved. Lucky for me with the 2 x10s I have I am able to do more then most. Any other Idea's are greatly welcomed, we will find a fix I know it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] josho133:
I've gotten the ICS update pushed from Tmobile/Samsung (via Kies), wiped, rooted, removed all the bloatware (wow - lots). Now I want a nicer ICS-based ROM compatible with the new firmware.

Questions:

1) What are people using now, other than stock on top of the new ICS firmware?

2) When will Juggernaut be updated (I -love- Juggernaut)?

3) Shall we give up on CM, or is there soon to be a stable release?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] alphadog32:
There is. Try Darside Venom. Or Infamous ROM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] unciviilized:
Darkside venom is the most stable for me plus the battery is very good too!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] josho133:
Sounds like Darkside Venom is the solution.

Anyone have any intel about whether there will be a new release out soon, or if I should just install today?

Great if they'll have a fix for the hanging shutdown bug (noted on their forum page).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djintrigue808:
Darkside.Cache.wipe after you install and no more shut down/reboot hangs. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sinfulgray:
I would think there is going to be a new release soon as i though i read that he will be putting the stock kernel back into the ROM until his kernel is completed.

Thank you for posting the link. What does it take to flash those roms on the T-Mobile variant?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] josho133:
This post was a little confusing - just to clarify the link you posted above is _NOT_ for the T989 GS2. Looks like you posted it to ask for whether any of these are available for T989.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ssmr2t:
I THINK ...I'm probably wrong here, but we can flash those roos in addition to some fixes like modem, rotation fix, etc....

Again, I THINK .

I hope this is the case because I really want to try paranoid from but it ha sent been developed for our device yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vzqsmooth56:
I'm running darkside v4 and I have to tell you, this is the best rom other at the moment. No bugs, fast, smooth, AMAZING BATTERY LIFE and just pure genius. Lol slap apex launcher on it and you have a pure ics experience. I also love juggernaut and was my rom before upgrading, so far no word on updating it. Go with DARKSIDE, trust me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vzqsmooth56:
As for CM I belive its a. Nightly official now. Still a lot of bugs from what I read and therefore I haven't used it for more then two days straight. Lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Troyis:
AOKP and CM are both more or less stable now. They got rid of the voice bug. Definitely stable enough for a DD. You won't find anything smoother either. I've been using AOKP, but might try out CM9 one of these days.

Battery on both beats anything that is non aosp.

[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Cool i guess. Not really worth it to update. That being said im one of those type of people who has to have the latest version number displayed in info, so im sure i will update my current setup and my rom Touch of Blue. Cant wait to get ahold of it.
[Droid Incredible General] bobAbooE:
Nice. I like to have the latest too .
[Droid Incredible General] lackskill:
I'd strongly recommend avoiding this update. It should get pulled. It's causing a boot loop that starts at 2am and happens for about 2 hours. No word on a fix yet.
[Droid Incredible General] rickyg946:
Just out of curiosity, would this screw up root if the phone has s-on still? I halfway rooted my friend's dinc not too long ago but didn't feel like going through the process of getting s-off since he won't be getting too crazy with it anyway (just wanted to get rid of bloatware and the like)
[Droid Incredible General] lackskill:
Not sure about root with the new update, but my wife's phone isn't the only one doing the 2am 2hrs of boot loop.

https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/775872

I'm hoping that someone smarter than me can find a fix for this. I just need it to last a couple more weeks until we can get our S3's.

Ironically, the same day, my Dinc's wifi gave up the ghost. It wasn't a good day for HTC in my house.
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Where did you get the update from? Was it ota or did you download it from somewhere?
[Droid Incredible General] lackskill:
It was an OTA push.
[Droid Incredible General] ggoodman1022:
New Update

The new push from verizon locks the bootloader, and prevents every root method I know of from working. I have s-off, and have for quite some time, but had to do a complete restore last night. The update pushed automatically, and now at the top of my bootloader screen it says ---LOCKED---

Looking for a way to root, or go back to the previous radio, etc and re-root now
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
If your s-off it dosent matter if its locked, just flash cwm recovery through hboot and then flash superuser thru recovery. If your s-on, go to the htcdev site and unlock the bootloader and then fastboot flash cwm recovery and then flash su thru recovery. Bam your rooted. :)
[Droid Incredible General] ggoodman1022:
Thanks

I'll try it again, but when I tried doing this earlier, it didn't work
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
I am s-off and locked right now, and i can flash what ever i want. Try redownloading cwm hboot flashable http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/PB31IMG.zip

What didnt work about it last time, the file wouldnt flash or it flashed but didnt fix the problem?
[Droid Incredible General] ggoodman1022:
hboot

And now it won't even attempt to flash through hboot... I followed instructions precisely :crying:
[Droid Incredible General] cmlusco:
Is it on the root of your sdcard (in no folders) and named PB31IMG.zip? If it is i would use a pc to backup up your sdcard, format it fat32, put the files back, and then try again.
[Droid Incredible General] ggoodman1022:
so, I went into hboot, and it asks about installing the update. I choose yes, and it reboots, but no CWM. But it appears to be working now

---------- Post added at 10:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 PM ----------

nevermind... still not working. After recovery says files are installed, it hangs up while trying to reboot, or power down. And if I pull the battery and reboot, it's just the same as it was before.

I'll try backing up & formatting the card now, instead

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] noob.fl:
if you use gnome, there is no problem, the Gnome own file manager can handle MTP devices (testet with Linux Mint & Linux mint Debian Edition) - if you maybee use xfce, so use Banshee player to put Files from and to the SXS.

also gthumb can handle MTP, but it sucks...

got, as a linux noob also problem with MTP and linux - so another possibility is the App Airdroid or FTPDroid on the phone and Filezilla on Desktop, but its damn slow

if you got root, install the MSC Mounter from DooMLord
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zlotvor:
This is my first MTP device and all I can say is MTP sucks!

I can't understand how engineer can make decision to use MTP instead of mass storage mode. Is even not easier to use. I think I'll just fire up samba and connect over wireless.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
In GB Sony used a licensed MTP stack (MtpApp that is), made by these guys: http://www.aricent.com/

However it turns out that it's 1) the only implementation of MTP available on 2.x and 2) horribly slow. In ICS, they've switched to Google's stack (obviously), so it works waaaay better. You should try it with a Honeycomb/ICS device or flash CM9.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zlotvor:
I would add that there is no sense to use it on smartphone. It may be ok on media player of camera, but on device that you use almost like computer it's nonsense!

When I buy new device first couple days/weeks I use it stock to test that everything functions ok.

But first I have to send it back for repair (yellow tint) and after that wait for unofficial BL unlock because my device is not allowed to unlock.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] stormbolter:
MTP has an advantage over Mass Storage: it works as an intermediary. Whereas in Mass Storage the user asumes complete control over the partition, in MTP the user only has partial control, so the phone can still use the filesystem. That is why you don't have to ask xperia to mount the partition and the applications that needs access to the same partition (whatsapp messages, titanium backups, gallery images, spotify offline cache, to name a few) can still be accessed.

It has other advantages but there are of no (t much) use for a phone.

I have to admit I use it in windows, that has (obviously as MTP was invented by microsoft and later standarized) pretty good support, and I had no trouble moving files to and from the phone. My biggest fear was that some MTP devices don't expose the filesystem, and force you to use an application to transfer files. I was relieved to see I can access the data partition fine.

Hey, guys!

Sold my galaxy note to a lady with a s2 that quit working on her today. While asking her what exactly the phone is doing, she tells me it turns on with some warning message. I instantly thought of the dl mode and showed it to her on the note. She confirmed that's exactly what she was seeing on her s2. The phone died on her out of nowhere, while she was taking a call.

Now, I would love to help her out and fix it. Assuming it powers on in the dl mode, I was thinking about flashing a stock .tar to restore it.

Am i on the right path? I don't have the phone yet, but she should drop it off later in the evening.
