[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsjuztin:
I have MIUI-203300 installed on my Samsung Vibrant T-959 and recently everything has been force closing. Facebook, google services, messaging, etc. EVERYTHING. I've been wondering how I can fix this? This happens on every ROM I flash onto my phone. It works fine at first and then it eventually slowly turns to poop and I don't understand why? :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Try wiping /Cache and /Dalvik. That usually clears up things like this. Probably couldn't hurt to Odin back to stock once and see if that clears up some issues with /data and /system.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsjuztin:
I wiped cache & dalvik once & it stopped one problem but then another started :/

Reset to stock via Odin or Heimdall and go from there then.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeSchmoe007:
I have an application called "Copilot GPS" that uses 15 MB in data/data

Upon close consideration most of that is a single file - libcopilot.so

It is located in /data/data/com.alk.copilot/mapviewer/files folder

In "Manage Applications" "Move to SD card" is enabled for this app.

If I move it to SD - will the libcopilot.so be moved? The reason I am asking is that this page:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Apps2SD

says:

As far as I know .SO files are libraries

If I move it to SD and app doesn't work - can I reverse "Move to SD card' process? I also own full version of Titanium backup, so I can take a backup as well. I never mover any apps to SD before.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkplugDev:
If you move the app to the SD card then you can always move it back to the phone if it doesn't work anymore. However, developers usually denote whether the app can be moved from internal storage to the SD without causing a problem to the functionality of the app and if not then the option won't show up on your phone. Newer versions of android have made apps like "app 2 SD pro" obsolete by adding the feature you are referring to with the check boxes to denote whether the app can be moved but even on stock version 2.2 you can go to app details and move the app manually. Most apps can exist on the SD card without causing problems with functionality anyway, most of them that are marked for not being able to be moved are ones that are either system apps or third party versions of system apps where your phone could lose overall functionality if your SD were to be removed or go defunct. I hope this helps!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dajmacd:
Moving the app as you describe will not move the lib file to the sd card. It will only move the .apk from /data. You need to use an app like link2sd to move the data files and libs to the sd card.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v0rtex:
If someone could help me I would be forever grateful. I got my AT&T GS3 yesterday and today after a LOT of hesitation I decided to see if I could root it. I couldn't find a lot of helpful resources and I ended up at the guide found at galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s3/. I was somewhat afraid because the guide refers to the I9300 but mine is the I747 and it turns out that fear was justified. Odin says FAIL with an ominous red background and says the following:

<ID:0/006> Added!!
<ID:0/006> Odin v.3 engine (ID:6)..

<ID:0/006>
<ID:0/006> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
<ID:0/006> Removed!!

After that I looked at my phone's screen and it had a short message in red that said "Unsupport dev_type". Now when I turn on the phone I am greeted by the ODIN MODE screen and a message that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."

At this point I don't have critical data that can't be restored though I would love to not lose my data anyway. I am much more concerned about being able to boot my phone again. Is there any hope or am I totally screwed?

I just hope there is some way I can fix whatever the cf root did to my phone. Any further suggestions?

Reinstall official firmware and then make a backup and flash the correct I747 root. nothing from I9300 will work with your model

possible solution

I don't know if this will help but i managed to get out of the same situation. After getting the error the phone would boot and tell me to fix w Kies. I found that if I took the battery out for a while then started it back up using vol down and home button then plugged phone in after the warning, and hit volume down my phone telling it to reboot and it started up no problem.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldilocks:
You know there is a forum for the AT&T version right? There is a rooting guide there. ALWAYS make sure that you are using the root method for the RIGHT model of phone before you do anything.

Go the to the XDA main forum page. Scroll down to the bottom and you will see the AT&T GSIII forum areas.

[Nokia Lumia 900] iiDeadSeriousii:
So...this Nokia Lumia 900 made me break my 8 year relationship I've had with Sprint (though these past couple years haven't been the best watching the other carriers blow past me with superior networks) and my 3 year fix with Android. I knew nothing but Android, Sprint, Nextel, and Blackberry since I've owned a phone. And now I feel like I'm being thrown aside as a beta tester. I don't mean to rant but I wasn't that upset about this WP8 fiasco until recently because I've been thinking on everything else I've given up just for "The best deal in smarthphone market". I think what aggravates me most is that this wasn't just revealed when WE found about it, I'm sure Nokia has known this for months given how deep their ties to Microsoft are now.

Enough of my rant, back to my point: Is there any way you can see either Nokia or AT&T offering an early upgrade or a buyback program from people who sipped from the kool aid last? I made a huge commitment and also missed out on TWO superphones (One X and Galaxy S3) and now I'm left holding an obsolete device that's going to get reskinned in a few months...whoopdy whoo. Are there any loopholes around getting off contract or getting an early upgrade in regards to this situation?

Read and I hope you will truly understand what's in it other than the home screen.

And to be fair, you guys in the US bought the phone only for 100 USD or rather Nokia gave you 50 USD for the phone. ( 450 off contract )

in other parts of the world you won't even get such an amazing device at that price, ATT subsidies quite a hefty amount. I bought mine for 600 USD off contract.

But overal I still think its worth it given how good the experience is, don't mind about the cores, rams .. Its just a marketing gimmick to me.

I suggest you to wait and see what Microsoft have in store for 7.8 update,it can't be just another UI changes.

Remember 7.5 mango? They really overdelivered but they announced too early and as a result, many features were copied to Android.
[Nokia Lumia 900] iiDeadSeriousii:
I was exaggerating when I said that it was just a new home screen, but in reality the entire source code was scrapped and almost built from the ground up. This is GREAT for the evolution of the WP8 OS...but not so much for those of us who will hit a wall with 7.8. Once that releases for us why SHOULD anybody (including MS and Nokia) really care too much about us? The real focus, as it should be, will making sure that WP8 will be the smoothest and best kept OS across three platforms, not in pleasing us legacy WP7.8 guys.

We will become an afterthought in their minds, because Microsoft is either blatantly lying to us or naive enough to believe that developers are going to waste their time porting everything over to 7.8. And before somebody jumps in and points out that it's now a streamlined process and relatively easy to port over to 7.8 theoretically, that doesn't mean it'll happen. Because 7.5 really isn't receiving the best support now outside of MS and Nokia and a few select developers, so what's going to all of a sudden change when a new shinier OS is out there? Why are dev's all of a sudden gonna care about us?

This is why I feel we should be compensated in some way. My Lumia 900 is in relative pristine condition, I should be able to trade it in for a new Windows Phone, pay $200, and renew my 2 year contract because Microsoft and Nokia and AT&T sold me a lie saying the beta test was over. This is about the most ironic marketing campaign I've bore witnessed to in the last couple of years. I'm upset, and I'm usually one to just accept these sort of corporate carrot danglings (especially in the tech world) but I'm really surprised there's no petition from other Lumia customers asking for something similar to what I proposed.

Hopefully we can hack 8 to lumia 900

I still hope that there is no technical reason to not install wp 8 to lumia 900 or other hw.

Same as you could put an android to an old windows 6 mobile.

We yet to see if it's possible or not. hopefully they didn't make it impossible.

The problem is probably with the upgrade. you would need to reload a new firmware loosing all the settings, all your apps if they re not yet on 8 ( even those you've paid for). That would piss people even more probably and maybe that's why there is no official upgrade path ?

This is my 2cent and really hope to hack 8 to my lumia 900.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rasengan82:
Something is definitely different from a regular reboot. The last_kmsg shows that the kernel think there was an error and basically does an EMERGENCY remount of a ext4 partition (not sure which one, only has block name). The last_kmsg created by doing a "adb reboot" does not show this type of warnings in the logs.

Is there a way to invoke the original reboot command?

I know it's an old thread, but I find no solution still..

I also want to safetly reboot android from a command line. I have root, naturally.

The "root" command is unsafe, as mentioned.

Is there a way to invoke the original reboot command

? I have a MIUI rom, and there is a power menu in wich there is a standard reboot command. Do you know how to invoke the same command from a rooted SSH shell, or from a scheduled script?

I'm looking to find the comand in wich the phone shutdown or reboots showing the Jelly Bean logo and the progression bar.

Another soution could be to install a "reboot app" and invoke the intent of that app. But I still have not find an app that really safety reboots the system, unmonting drives, stopping process and so on...

Thank you for your kind reply.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
Yeah I had it on my iPhone. The first level was cool but it got insanely difficult real fast. There's just too much crap going on and too much stuff to dodge with bullet hells that at least for me, takes all the fun out of the game.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PhantasmRezound:
I was gonna come here and suggest exactly that game rofl. I'm currently ranked 50th in the world, 13th in the United States on the demo level leaderboard.

I can tell you that the best way to play is to pull up mid field and straddle slow bullets as they trail down the screen. Surf and ride the edge of the bullet waves hard and early.... Turn your hitbox on and set ship color to dark to help gauge your exact damage zone.

This grazing of bullets builds your shields/power bar. I power up the spread gun with my two initial shields at the very start of the level. Keep grazing, surfing the easy waves as much as possible. Build your gun up and send it into overdrive often as you can and you'll power through and get an insane score. Generally use the laser or the homing only for certain minibosses and boss formations.

Oh, and you don't know how truly difficult the game can be until you start doing flawless sections... there are hidden enemy waves and minibosses that only show if you are making perfect runs with skill. The bullet density and patterns adjust to skill on the fly.

Just saying that in case anybody is interested in that game, I know it can be a daunting genre but there is a genuine sense of accomplishment and reward when you get a high score on a shoot 'em up. :3
[Nokia Lumia 900] DavidC1980:
So tonight my Lumia 900 had developed a new and very annoying fault. If you press the top right corner of the screen it clicks, like a mouse button sound. It doesn't need to be a hard press and actually just holding the phone to my ear is enough to make it click. So when I'm in a call my phone is clicking away in my ear!!

Is this common? I've made a video which is uploading now, should be uploaded in 30 mins or so ( http://youtu.be/6m6ELdp4FZg ). I'll be taking it into Phones4u asap to get it looked at or replaced. Unfortunately it's just over 1 month old so I really have to hope there's some good customer service in place as I will be pretty unhappy if in one week I get this fault, have to lose my phone for a week or so for repair and have been told that it's obselete after just one month.

Fun and games ppl.....

[Nokia Lumia 900] Rare Earth:
I had the same problem on my white Lumia 900 and so I returned it to the store I bought it from (Harvey Norman) and they replaced it after making a phone call to someone.

I pointed out the clicking problem and the light bleeding from the capactive buttons. I asked to grab a cyan instead of white with no worries, and while I have the light bleeding again I don't have the clicking noise, and I hope I don't get it again.

I remember reading over at WPCentral that someone fixed their phones clicking by pressing down really hard onto the clicking area and it "snapped" back into place.
[Nokia Lumia 900] MrGreencastle:
Mine does this too, but unfortunately I can't return it. I've poked around a bit under the microsim door, but I can't seem to figure out how to fix it.

I've just been into Phones4u who phoned head office and got an exchange authorised. Unfortunately I haven't got the box etc with me this weekend so can't get the exchange today, but I do have the authorisation code so on Weds afternoon I will get the handset replaced. There's no way I could keep this phone for the full 24 month contract if every phone call is marred with a loud click right up against my ear.

I think Nokia have dropped a ball on the quality of this model as I will be onto my 3rd handset in 6 weeks very soon. :( I really look after my phones with cases, covers and never drop them.

So I decided to be bold and press the rod that holds the display in place, down. The clicking did stop so long as there was pressure on it, but it reverted to clicking again shortly after.

Might have it swapped out myself, depending on how annoying it gets.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Nissan350:
Mine also has this problem in the top right. Though it's not a clicking sound, it's more of a creaking noise. Like old wooden floorboards.

So I took my screen out to see when the problem was (using this tutorial: http://allaboutwindowsphone.com/flow/item/14567_Lumia_900_dismantled_by_TechRe.php).

There are clips all around the screens housing that clips into the body of the phone. The clips on the top right where it makes the noise doesn't seem to snap in to the phone as snugly as the rest of the clips. It's almost like the clip on that side is too short or something.

So I used a little crazy glue and it fixed it for a day. Then the noise came right back. So I just left it as it is.
[Nokia Lumia 900] jimski:
It's polycarbonate. Or, to be more generic, plastic. Plastic expands and contracts differently than other materials. As it cools, it can can also slightly warp. Some of these 0.001" imperfections can't be overcome by clips or pins. Its not going to change the way your phone works.

Next time, look for a phone machined from steel (aluminum also has some variability characteristics, but not as much as plastic. But don't expect reception to be very good.
