Just recently I received a phone from the insurance company, and I noticed that burn in spots all over, and so I called them, and they shipped me out a new one and I looked for them on this phone right away. There are more spots and much worst too, but I called them and they said they'd replace it, but I don't want to make this a cycle. Anyone else getting phones like this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Samsung amoled screens on phones have been known to suffer from burn in.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caketime:
Right out of the box though? And in the middle in blotches?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Im pretty sure those insurance replacement phones are not new, they are used refurbished phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caketime:
I asked them that, then they asked if there was a certain sticker on the back and there wasn't one, but so they said it was brand new. Also if it were refurbished, how would burn in happen in the middle of the screen in big spots? Thanks for responding though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HanMan5000:
I've seen burn ins as well, on my Epic (not touch). It was after a lot of use though. I think it's pretty common, but I've never seen it on a brand new one..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Hmm that is weird. Could be a defective batch of phones or they recycled the screens and put them on new phones...

But yeah burn in is pretty prevalent on these Samsung amoled phones, especially if keep your brightness up high. I haven't had issues with this phone or the OG Epic but my girlfriends Fascinate had pretty bad burn in.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
I do not know what the code is off hand but you can enter a debug code in the dialer to check for refurb.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caketime:
Well my original phone had no problems at all so idk. Hopefully I don't get anymore like this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gpcorolla85:
##786# is the code to enter in on the dialer app. It will be under view and it's closer to the bottom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] caketime:
I know the code and it wasn't a refurbished, how but I rooted and installed cm9 the first couple minutes of owning it Haha.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TBurt:
That is why Samsung went back to Super AMOLED with PenTile for the Galaxy S3. It seems that all AMOLEDs have the "burn in" problems, but the Super AMOLEDS+ are the worse. I suspect that warranty costs are starting to mount up for Samsung on devices that use Super AMOLED+. So they went back to non-plus displays with PenTile for the GS3.

Hi,

i have the Desire S and rootet it via the Revolutionary Method. For that, i hat to downgrade my HBOOT. I have used that quite a while now first with Cyanogen, now with BlindICE. But all time, i have issues with GPS and Mobile Connection. A friend told me to update my HBOOT and Radio, then the problems will vanish.

is that true? What HBOOT and Radio should i flash and how risky is it? I know i can brick my phone whilst flashing a new Radio. But does it happen often if you compare MD5 sums and exactly do what the instruction tells you?

And then i have another question: What is HBOOT and Radio for?

Greetz Nidhoegger
[HTC Desire S] hasoon2000:
HBOOT is the bootloader. Radio is what gives you signal, controls your Bluetooth, WiFi, etc.
[HTC Desire S] fosco_:
Changing HBOOT has no effect on GPS signal

Changing RADIO has low effect on GPS signal, there is no better radio version, just try some and choose http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178001

But THIS has strong effect on GPS signal: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1442032

Do u experience bad mobile reception everywhere or just some specific place(s)?

Ya the AGPS Patch by crypted really does help a lot. Took more than 5 min to get connect via gps but with that patch it's just a matter of seconds.
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
Flashing a Radio is always risky.

Please read the forums & all related posts before attempting a Radio Flash.

However, there shouldn't be any issues if the steps are followed correctly.

Please Note : Flashing a Radio will also reset your phone Data to Factory settings.

Perform a nandroid backup of your ROM before flashing.
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
Geez, not again... Where do people take this from?!

Radio controls BASEBAND ONLY. Not related whatsoever to Bluetooth, WiFi, or any other transmitting/receiving devices in the phone besides baseband. Devices that had radio somehow connected to the system were Nexus One and maybe the original Desire, in which radio was part of the communication with camera (switching from Froyo to Gingerbread without flashing the proper radio messed up the camera). Bluetooth, WiFi, etc are controlled by KERNEL.

Copied a couple of GB of photos to my External SDCard.Rebooted phone, nothing showed up,but all videos and music that were on the card were still showing in Video Player,Gallery and Music Player.So I unmounted the card via settings ,remounted .now nothing shows up at all.

If I browse through Root Explorer I can see all my media,and when I look in Settings/Storage the card shows up.

I thought perhaps it was the card(only bought last week) could be the problem, so I stuck my old MicroSD card in which has some media on it, same thing.Any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saldawop:
Should have said.When I take a photo it is stored on the micro SD card.That works OK
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Is it just teh gallery that causes an issue?

If so try what this guy suggests here to do a rescan of the media:

No, nothing shows up.No videos, no music and no photos
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saldawop:
I decided to reset the phone (from Settings) .Set it up again and all seems well again:confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saldawop:
Today I added some more albums to my external SDCard.Again, after doing so,none of the new mp3s showed up.Removed SDCard, and like before, NOTHING on the SDCard shows up.So I thought I would do what I did last time and wipe the phone.This time though it didn't do the trick,and nothing is showing up.Even reinstalled the original stock ROM,still nothing.

Have tried with a couple of different cards with the same outcome, nothing on SDCard appearing on phone(I can see the card in My Files and browse all the individual files OK).

Assuming there is something wrong with the phone , I guess all I can do is return to store, however I did unlock the phone using Voodoo Unlocker.Can this be reversed?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saldawop:
Can anybody help??

Either with the SDCard problem or know whether the Voodoo Unlock is reversible??

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saldawop:
This problem has resurfaced.Installed Omega 8.1 Rom .Opened Music Player., nothing there.Same for Gallery and Video Player.

The thing is I downloaded PowerAmp,added the folder that has my music in and it works fine. Open QuickPic and all my pictures are shown, as are my videos which I can play in Video Player.

I can transfer a song to my internal memory, it shows up. Transfer it back to extSDCard, it disappears.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saldawop:
After flashing a stock ROM the problem is still happening.

The strange thing is ,the phone recognises there is an external card.When I open the camera app, I get the pop up asking me if I want to store my photos on the sdcard.I do, and it works fineand any picture I take on the phone shows in Gallery).It just seems to be a problem with any media.Its doing my head in.

Please save me from having to go buy an iPhone4s, because as boring as it may be, it does,as they say "just work"
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthropolyte:
This sounds software-related to me. Have you tried flashing a stock ROM and testing without installing any applications to the device? It's possible that one of the apps you have installed is causing some sort of problem.

It is still possible that the external SD card has a fault though. Have you tried a different one? Additionally, why are you using the external card rather than the internal memory?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
All roms for me never find video or mp3 on external sd card .

Notable that Kies places Video in DCIM/Camera folder if you ask it to transfer filers to ext sd card and likewise music on ext card is media folder .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saldawop:
yes, tried 3 sdcards.

Have 10GB of music. 2GB of photos. So I need to use the external SDCard ,as I would already be out of room.

This has worked fine.The last week or so there has been no problem.I have been flashing ROMS, adding media to SDCard with no issue.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthropolyte:
How about apps? Have you tried doing this with no other applications installed?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saldawop:
I havent, but I am going to do a full wipe flash again without installing any apps.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthropolyte:
If you do that and it works ok, just install one app at a time until you find the culprit. Then uninstall it and email the developer!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saldawop:
Well that cant be right can it. There surely would be little point in having an external SDCard in that case.You cant put apps on it, you cant put music or video on it? (well not if you want to use stock apps)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saldawop:
Well, that didnt work.Fresh install of ROM, no apps installed. No music/Photos.

So thats stock ROM, Omega 7.1 (last known working with that ROM) and Omega 8.1 flashed probably half a dozen times over the last 24+ hours.

The only music and vid that appear are the Samsung installed demo ones.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthropolyte:
Weird. I have music and media stored on my external SD card, and everything reads and functions fine (on Wanamlite using Ninphetamin3).

Have you tried changing kernels?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saldawop:
No I havent.If it is something I should try I will have to have a read up. I have only rooted and flashed ROMs, never changed Kernels.

Edit:

I have used drag & drop when phone is connected to PC, I have used a card reader.Card has been formatted in the phone, in the card reader.

I have used Easy Phone Sync ,just tried Kies and that syncs fine to the external card.

It surely must be a software problem.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthropolyte:
Definitely try flashing a new kernel - have a look through the dev sections.

It's worth reformatting the sdcard in the phone as well, using the phone software to do it - that should eliminate any weird permissions-related problems.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saldawop:
Thanks , will look into it but should I really need to do that?OK, at the moment I am using Omega 8.1, but the problem is there with the stock ROM.

As for reformatting the card in the phone, have done that...multiple times today alone!! Tried adding my media one file at a time ,still nothing.I fixed permissions in recovery.That didnt help.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saldawop:
Forgot to ask, WIth the kernal. If I change it ,is it permanent until I actively change it? Or if I flash a ROM will it be changed?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthropolyte:
It depends on the ROM. Some include a kernel, some don't - most do though, so your point about the kernel being changed by flashing the stock ROM is valid. I'm not sure what to suggest next really :/
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Rom's usually change it. They COULD keep the old one but for simplicity's sake, to prevent issues and since they sometimes rely on kernel-features always include their own.

You can always flash the kernel of your choice through CWM directly after installing/upgrading the ROM.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saldawop:
Thanks for your help.

I will change the kernal...via CWM recovery?

If that dont fix it I will scaled down my music and photos, install on internal memory and wait for the release of iPhone 5 :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Nope never worked for me . All that ever works is transfer the files via Kies to Ext SD . That can be lost if flashing a new rom or recovering an older rom .

Kernel nope not the case as problem was here from day one on original stock .

Worth pointing out that its only music or video players that cannot find files all other apps find data on ext sd card .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saldawop:
what about photos?

I can see photos that I take with the camera ,even when they are on my sdcard? But I cannot view any photos I sync from my computer.

I flashed the kernal, made no difference.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Oddly just formated as ExFat and files are found .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saldawop:
Well what do ya know, that seems to work for me too:good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saldawop:
Seems my SDCard problem is back:

FIrst noticed when I synced some music, it didnt show up.Everything that was on the card prior to syncing (Photos, music and video) played fine.Anything added to it didnt show.

Reformatted card, now nothing shows.

The phone recognises the card.I get the Preparing SDcard show up in the notification bar on bootup.

I get the "SDCard inserted. Do you want your pictures stored there" when I first start the camera after flashing ROMs.

I can browse the sdcard with Root Explorer.

Can play music with Poweramp.

Failing a proper solution, is there a video player that I can direct to look for files on the sdcard?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetbruceli:
You know what I had similiar issues with my transformer prime. Found out it couldn't handle the type of micro sd I had inside. In fact it would even start creating funky files on it.

You just might have a bad sd card adapter built in the device.

I have a 32 gb class 10 and everytime I add something it shows up.

Oh are adding files through phone? Or taking it out and copying via the computer?

Plus I notice the only time files transfer properly is when I leave the folder that I am copying to, opened on the computer.

both on stock at the moment!!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ooonimrodooo:
In my area, (Batavia, ny) I get maybe 1 to 2 bars. This has been the case since my OG EVO. But I do noticing I'm roaming a lot more now. Plus my 3g connection is terrible. I've heard this phone does have some signal issues. Would flashing new a new Rom flash radios as well? I was worried they were just borkes from restoring a nand backup or something. I am considering just bring this back to best buy for the S3. I have maybe a 2 weeks left to decide. But I did buy an otterbox defender case, so I have invested in this phone already. I wonder if the problem is hardware related or will new radios (when they come out) will fix the problem? Any recommendations or advice?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Androidaholic:
New Network and different PRL !

I have the new Evo 4g LTE and I took one back because of this issue you are having. It has happened on the new one though not quite as bad. Not sure if they improved the signal or if it was the phone. I live in Houston,Tx. which is one of the cities where LTE is launching first so I know they are working on the towers here. By the way they are only giving you 2 weeks to return phones now at Best Buy and Sprint. The biggest thing I have noticed is that the Evo 4g LTE has a different PRL # than my other two Android Sprint phones. I believe this is because it is going to run on the new LTE network and I also think it has something to do with signal being different. The bottom line if I were you I would take the Evo back that you have now and exchange it for a new Evo and if you are in a City that is getting LTE in the first round Just wait like two more weeks and your signal issues will go away ! You could always root until then and run a different PRL also!

Hola Forum!

I bring you a STOCK FC09 ROOTED AND THEMED ROM! this rom was stock and I themed it on my own. The thing is that I have not tested it yet. So if any of you guys/gals out there want to help me out with this, please test it for me. I really would like feedback as to if any or everything is themed. Once I get feedback and fix whatever needs to be fixed, I will post another thread announcing updates,etc. Please follow the directions below to flash this rom. it is supposed to be themed to ICS 4.0.4

I DID NOT BUILD THIS ROM! I JUST THEMED IT! ALL CREDIT GOES TO THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPER!!

INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Download the rom from the link below

2) Place it on your MicroSD Card

3) Now if you have any data that you would like to backup, use Titanium Backup or do a Nandroid in Recovery

4) Reboot into Recovery Mode(CWM,TWRP. Prefer CWM 5.0.2.7)

5) Wipe Cache Partition, Dalvik Cache, and Wipe Data

6) Now, go to "Install Zip From SD Card", then "Choose Zip From SD Card"

7) Now just navigate to where you placed the ROM zip

8)Just hit "yes" to install and it will begin. The installation may take a minute or two, so please be patient!

You should now be running a Stock Rooted FC09 ROM that is themed to ICS! If it is not for some reason, please PM me so I can fix it and post an update!

DOWNLOAD LINK: not working

HIT THAT THANKS BUTTON PLEASE! :):good:
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
Can you post the following: changelog, screenshots!
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
Maybe this should be in the themes section..? Have u actually done anything to the ROM itself? I think we already had a stock FC09 ROM... but I may be wrong. Anyway I'm going to try this out for you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ÜBER™:
if all you did was theme it... its not a real custom rom. You should have just put the theme in the themes section.

Sent From My Sprint Galaxy Nexus
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
That's what I was saying.

But after flashing this I realized it shouldn't even be in themes.

This is what happened

I wiped everything 3x and flashed this and rebooted.

You seem to have 2 boot anis, one is sprints stock one and the other is the "android" writing that lights up. The first time I flashed this and booted up I got half of both. Then once it opened the screen the status bar FC'ed and it wouldn't close it and let me continue, it just kept rebooting.

Then I went back to recovery and wiped everything again and flashed again and this time I only got the stock sprint boot up but stll the status bar FC. There's something wrong with your systemui. You should take a look at it.

But from the looks of the homescreen without seeing the status bar, it looked completly stock. I'm not sure what the "ICS" part is, as you have in the files name "FC09ICSTHEME". But here's my advice. Try and get an epic to test on before posting anything on here, or at least pm someone that's willing to test it for you or post it in the general section until someone volunteers to test it and if all goes well you can make a whole thread for it. And the second thing is put whatever you make in the right section. If this is only a theme then it shouldn't be in the development section. And if its only a theme, then there's no need for it to be almost 200mb. The largest theme I've seen is 50mb.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DroidModder:
sorry guys. Im new to this. And there is a stock FC09 rom that someone else on here created and He told me and gave consent that I could use his stock rom for themeing,etc. The ROM actually has 2 boot anis, not too sure why. I didnt build it initially. But what i will do is, try to remove this thread for now, i will work on it and get some people to test it and then re post. I am actually looking to begin rom development, so since you guys are all senior members, do you have any ideas for the theme work in that,etc. please let me know! thanks :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] lilajrestnom:
Well when you want to make a theme only try and take out everything that's not needed like all the extra apps.

Basically what you would want to do is extract systemui.apk, framework-res.apk, tw framework-res.apk, and if needed lidroid-res.apk from the ROM and then once your done theming them you can use uot kitchen to put them all in one zip.

And for ideas I can't really help you because I'm trying to make a theme too and am stuck as well lol. So I need ideas myself. But you can search around and maybe port a theme into a ROM.

But for now can someone call spiderman to close this or remove it or something lol?

And you can pm me or anyone else around here if you need help with anything. And if you need me to test anything I could do that for you. And if you need help I can try and figure out what went wrong in your systemui.apk. but I'm at work now, so maybe tomorrow or later tonight lol.
