This actually happened to my phone. Is it a known fault? Is there a way to repair it without taking it to a service centre 30 miles away?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Falc0nPuls3:
Your device wont turn on?

I wonder why?

Perhaps its got something to do with the fact that you have broken your device into pieces. Not literally but oh well u get the point.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gn1989:
If you're responding to me, I don't get your point. I haven't broken it into pieces, literally or otherwise. I haven't modified the OS in any way since I got it. I plugged it in to charge. It is meant to be able to charge.

i face that problem too, after i search the entire thread in this forum then i found this method. try this, maybe it can help :

- pull out your battery

- press the vol down+home+power n in the same time then pull in your battery (if you can't do it alone, ask somebody to help you pull in the battery)

- wait (n pray maybe :D) until download mode appear

hope it can help you..:fingers-crossed:

Hi

Is anybody Else experiencing "deathgrip" issues with their S3?

Been all over the internet and found a few posts about the issue but nothing really helpful.

Any tips? Any ideas? Aside from using my phone upside down....

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomher0:
I have 2-3 bars if it lays still on the table or I hold it upside down, if I hold it any way a normal person would it goes to hell.

This is in areas with poor reception but all tested numerous times in the same area. My girlfriend has a xperia s and she has no problem what so ever. My Nokia work phone also works flawlessly.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hefonthefjords:
some people just absorb RF more than others.

this is something i've encountered a lot at work with people using wireless microphones, guitar wireless systems and in ear monitors. certain people just cannot use this stuff because their bodies just absorb so much of the RF that the gear becomes useless if their body blocks the signal in any way.

it's a nightmare to try to explain this to some idiot who just expects his wireless mic to work absolutely perfectly from 600 feet away in a field.

Did a test while checking the signal strenght. -89 dBm 12 asu holding the phone upside down, -103 dBm 5 asu while "death gripping" it.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomher0:
Go to settings - about device - status. Then take write down your signal holding it normally and upside down.

If you do this we can compare the change in signal strenght on our phones.

No difference at all really.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ssconceptz:
This seems to be an issue with these devices. I have one that just started after switching to FF11. I don't think it is rom related as I have seen people with EL29 start to have the same issue. From search it seems that this issue is something to do with a faulty power switch. Your button will physically still click but you have to fiddle with it at times for it to work at all. It causes the phone to randomly reboot as well as the phone come on immediately after removing the battery. Sprint will think it's a software issue due to the screen sometimes flickering but it's a faulty switch.

I wonder how many more of these devices will have this issue. These devices are still under the manufacturer 1 year warranty so if you go through Samsung I think they will have no problem fixing it or pay sprint for a replacement.

I believe this is hardware failure of the power button as I have switched between roms and nothing has worked.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] androidoholic:
So I tried to flash Magnolia X 1.0 coming from MIUI. After I wiped from MIUI and tried to install Magnolia I got an error. No big deal right? So I figured I would reboot recovery ( clockwork mod ) and try again, if it didn't work I could restore MIUI. When I hit reboot recovery I got stuck in a bootloop, from white htc screen to off. It just looks like it is trying to get to recovery but it is not loading it for some reason. So I decided to boot it into hboot and reflash the recovery, or possibly flash twrp. Now my problem is that the computer is not recognizing the phone, so none of my fastboot or adb commands do anything I just get <waiting for device>. Any ideas?

So right after I made the post I was able to get the drivers to reinstall and was able to re flash the recovery. Tried both CWM and TWRP and neither will boot.

Other than that I have no othe ideas...anyone else have any?

Hi All,

I got hold of the leaked P3100 Stock ROM from Sammobile , googling for "P3100XWALD2_P3100OJVALD3_OJV" courtesy Hotfile.

I see within the download 4 md5 package for pushing through ODIN 1.85.

Need confirmation what goes where in ODIN for pushing this over serial interface?

Please help!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedeamon:
Some more Googling gave me the following:

1. Bootloader is the module that loads built-in recovery ( Stock / CWM ).

2. PDA is the firmware version that contains the android OS and system apps. ( Platform/PDA )

3. Phone is the modem version ( Modem/Radio ) - Secondary firmware that controls the network connectivity (2G/3G, wireless & Bluetooth).

4. CSC is the connection data could be network locked or supporting a specific region.

When you are updating they should all be updated to whatever firmware you choose via ODIN in md5 format.

If you are using odin they get flashed separately.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prcls77:
Hello,

I just purchased a P3100 here in China, but alas all of the Google apps are inaccessible. Thus, I flashed ClockworkMod Recovery and then the cwm-root-gtab2.zip Root Package. I then loaded the four md5 files into Odin and tried to run them all at once, but it failed. However, if I load and run just the Platform/PDA, then it successfully installs and I get a nice clean install with full access to Google apps. If I tried to run the other three md5 files individually, it also fails. But because I nevertheless have full overall functionality (including my 3G through my SIM card), then I shouldn't worry too much about the other three md5 files failing to install?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prcls77:
Actually, I've just noticed that my total disc space is 1.97GB, 687MB of total RAM, and 1.9GB of device memory. So something is obviously amiss.

Prcls77 try flashing Singapore image for P3100 from http://www.sammobile.com/firmware

This single md5 image had PDA & CSC included.

I suggest you wipe data using CWM & wipe all cache , reboot to download mode

Push the Singapore image & let it reboot , check sdcard partition size, if you see size is less, just run the stock factory reset from recovery menu...you should get back your original setting.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prcls77:
thedeamon,

I'm currently downloading the Singapore version of 4.04; the file name is P3100XXBLE3_P3100OLBBLE2_XSP.zip (couldn't find 4.03). Is this the one you are referring to? If I unzip this, will it be the single .md5 image you are referring to? If yes, do I load it in Odin as PDA or CSC? Or do I just install the whole .zip file in download mode from my external SD card?

Thank you kindly in advance.

P.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedeamon:
Extract the md5 on a folder in your PC/Laptop, push the file using ODIN 1.85 keeping phone in download mode.

On the same session in ODIN, you may choose to repartition the TAB with correct P3100 pit file from the link below:

http://www.mod2xtreme.com/showthread.php?11722-Download-OPS-amp-PIT-files ( ensure to tick "Re-partition" & load the correct P3100 PIT file )

This will ensure you have a clean factory image loaded in the TAB.

Hope this helps!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prcls77:
Thanks thedaemon!

I wiped data/factory reset and wiped cache through CwM. I then flashed the .md5 file as PDA in Odin along with the pit file. The pit file failed, but the .md5 file was successful and I now have a clean version of 4.0.4. I now have 4.59GB total internal stora space which is certainly better than the 2GB. Overall I'm pretty happy and can l live with this. However, I'm now considering flashing CyanogenMod 9!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gh123man:
there are many that know more than me, but i can try to help a little bit...

first off, im going to assume you are porting roms, not apps, because of how you have things worded i was a bit confused at first.

now, eclipse is an amazing IDE, but when it comes to porting android roms from device to device its not going to be much (if any at all) help to you. eclipse is great for application development, and building a full, ready to install android package (apk) for pushing to the market or side-loaded. (installed on data partition)

there dont tend to be many guides or strait line ways do do things. it all comes out of experience and good problem solving skills. learn to read your logcats, understand what they are saying. you will get it!

im more of a source built kind-of-guy, and never did any porting of pre-compiled roms. but i know http://freeyourandroid.com/ is a great resource for getting started with just that.

please also think about looking into the android build system, its complicated, but you will get it eventually, and it will teach you how a rom really works, and is really built, and it gives you complete control to do anything you want.

hope this was a little help.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fenstre:
Hey, guys. I noticed ICS comes with a shell tool called "toolbox" (or maybe it's just my ROM). The traditional tool, called Busybox, is also installed. This tool is much more powerful--if basic shell commands like "mv" don't work properly, toolbox is probably to blame.

Or my system, the shell is mksh and the toolbox tools are installed in /system/bin and busybox is in /system/xbin. Is this the same on all ICS ROMs?

The command to modify the system path so the busybox tools are called preferentially to the toolbox tools is the following:

sed '/: place customisations above this line/i\PATH="/system/xbin:$PATH"' -i /etc/mkshrc

Like I said, I'm assuming my ROM is the same as other ROMs. But the point is to find the shell init file and add PATH="/system/xbin:$PATH" to it. As usual, make a system backup before making changes like this.

In this vein, does anybody know how to change the root user's shell? The "chsh" command doesn't exist on Android, nor does /etc/passwd.
