[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ursJAR:
Hi all,

I have a Google Nexus One which I had rooted a couple of months back (just root and no boot loader unlock). Everything was fine and I had factory restored it successfully once in the due course.

The problem was when I did a factory reset again yesterday so that I can sell it, there was a boot loop. I tired everything like restart, stock restore again from recovery, battery removal but all went vain. Fortunately I tried connecting via USB and thus I escaped from boot loop but still I was stuck there. None of the 4 system keys didn't work.

I just sat researching on Google and at last got the reason for the strange behaviour on the otherwise 2 year old not a single glitch ever phone. The issue was the with the stock Launcher apk. Just then I remembered that I had uninstalled the stock Launcher given the root access and so confident on the Holo launcher.

Again some researches and I came to know I can install (or "push") the launcher using the 'adb' command. I booted into recovery console, connected my phone to Windows 7 PC and installed the driver to get the phone detected. But when I typed 'adb remount' it gives 'error: device not found'. This is where I'm stuck now and since Googling didn't provide anything worth I'm back to my favourite tech forum.

Hope you got it clear here and someone can help me.

Regards,

ursJAR

PS: And why is typing on the xda android app so terribly slow??!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Stock recovery doesn't allow ADB access.

Since you did factory reset - ADB isn't running on the phone either.

So you can't recover from this situation without unlocking the bootloader. Unlock it, install custom recovery, adb push the launcher through it.

Forgot to mention - I'm not suggesting PASSIMG, since your phone is likely updated to the latest, and all the PASSIMG are from older builds. You could try, though - if you don't want to unlock the bootloader, Korean PASSIMG might be what you need. See N1 Wiki, section "Unroot/restore", PASSIMG method.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ursJAR:
If the boot loader is unlocked, I believe there is no way to revert to the fresh situation.. right?

salam for all

i tried to update my device so much but failed now i found the way to update without problem

if your frimware is 6.5.1-167_DHD-14_M2-5

Blur_Version.6.12.173.XT912.Verizon.en.US) and you update to 6.12.181 during wifi

its diffcult to find update 4.04

but if you download official rom (6.5.1-167_DHD-14_M3-8

Blur_Version.6.12.181.XT912.Verizon.en.US) and setup during (rsd) after that do update you will find the ics update download and enjoy

here is official rom

The day the announced the portrait oriented flagship, YouTube got an update to correspond with it, and it killed landscape pretty much. The app on the Flyer looks just as it does on my phone now! My roommate with his gtab2 was complaining about it too. Google if its not broke don't fix it!

Just a pain now. If you want to keep watching videos you gotta constantly rotate it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
Update makes no sense really because apps on the nexus are still in tablet mode, and still support landscape
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
That's why Google is an advertising company, not a software company.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
Yeah and to be fair, it never made much sense that you had to flip the phone into portrait to view other videos either, after all landscape always puts the aspect ratio closer to 16:9 which is what you want when you watch a video anyway, and you can't go fullscreen in portrait, so what is the point exactly?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
Yep this about sums it up. Instead of the nice dual pane mode you got on tablets before after your done watching a video, here's what you get. Argh I want to go back to the older version.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
I pulled the apk out of one of the custom roms I had on my PC, and reinstalled it. Its going to tell me I need an update forever but screw it, the old tablet look wasn't broken, no need to fix it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Yucko:
Any chance on sharing the apk? :angel:

Edit:

never mind, removed all updates for YT
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
Here you go, it should be a straight install, shouldn't require root or anything, just double click and follow the instructions :)

EDIT I see you fixed yours, but I'll leave this up here for anyone who wants the old layout back.

No problem. It was actually one of the first things my girlfriend and I thought to try. We were quite disappointed. Now, it's actually pretty inconvenient (in my opinion) but an app exists (not sure of the name, if you are really interested let me know and I will hunt it down)

The app requires BOTH users to have the app installed and Bluetooth enabled.

It will allow you to use NFC to make the bluetooth link and send the picture over bluetooth. To me it doesn't sound like it's worth the effort, but it might possibly fit your needs.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sharp2G:

you should be able to send picture and video with SGS3. make sure you have S-beam on

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Alcoholic:
Was going to suggest the same thing. Bump works with even gingerbread phones. It doesn't require you to turn on bluetooth.

I've successfully transferred web pages, contacts, and play store links via android beam but pictures don't work.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] HebeGuess:
Nope, is Android Beam.

S-Beam is currently GS3 proprietary that used NFC to hook up WiFi-Direct for a hyper-boost in transfer speed.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] HebeGuess:
Rechecked & Revised, Found out it was not supported in ICS. Android Beam in ICS mostly support in text based functions, on my guess the root cause was NFC's tiny bandwidth.

However, Google recently adding picture and video support into JB which will hook up bluetooth to speed up transferring. Ehhh~ Too bad, personally prefer S-Beam from Samsung which hook up WiFi-Direct for much better speed, though there are fewer devices compliance with WiFi-Direct now. Sammy, it time to show your commitment give that to Google...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danada:
Isn't the whole switch to wifi-direct thing how Bluetooth 3 works?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jphilippon:
Use Bump. No wifi or bluetooth required.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sabret00the:
So the Xperia T and the SGS3 can both do NFC transfers and yet the One X, one of the few other phones in that class, can't? That has left me beyond disgruntled. HTC really are a disgrace at times.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam_1421:
Hi guys, i have a question for those of you who own this awesome device since the intl version came out... what are your thoughts on the scratches resistance of the screen, and more generally the device itself?

I just got my NA version three days ago and i was wonderinf if it was worth putting a screen lrotector on it or the screen is scratches proof?

Thanks!

Sam
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arsaw:
It will scratch..... Get a screen protector as soon as possible.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irish-sid:
I've had it a few days now, and i swear i have been consciously very careful with it, but i have a few scratches on my screen. only really noticeable when the screen is off, but still a pain in my ass.

i made sure nothing else was in my pockets and everything. i really don't know how they got there.

so if you're of the protection persuasion then yeah put one on imo.

Hmmm that sucks ... ok well I'll go buy one asap.. do you have any recommendation for the brand? I really would like one as unnoticable as possible.. I bought some cheap ones on ebay for my old touch pro2 and they are ugly as f**k :/
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoOneCanHelpMe:
I've been using mine for 2 weeks now, no scratches at all! I always put the phone in my pocket by itself and only have a ROCK case on it :) I guess if ur careful you wont have scratches, but some people just dont know/care how to take care of their things. I have insurance so I have peace of mind should anything happen:)

Scratch resistance? None. My 2 year old Desire has less than this after a month..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyhulk:
It's really sad, if you think about it. The GS3 has Gorilla Glass 2. If anything, it should be much harder to scratch.

That being said, my employer ordered a bunch for a launch event and all but one came back with multiple scratches on the screens. I get the distinct impression that even the iPhone's screen is more scratch resistant. Why are we going backward?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DD-Ripper:
No gorrilla glass screen is scratch resistant. Sometime or the other it will definitely get a scratch. Be wary of the small minute particles like salt, dust..etc if there aint any screen protector....

If u dont want to apply a screen protector and want to keep it scratch free, here's how :

1.Take the phone

2. Put it in its box and seal it :D :D :D :p

I guarantee screen will not get a single scratch. :D

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyhulk:
I have had many phones and I have never used a screen protector on any of them. I also have never scratched the screen on a single one. So, I can assure you that there is more than one answer to "not scratching your screen" and your ridiculous response is wildly unnecessary.

Gorilla glass is supposed to be scratch resistant. That's basically its entire claim to fame. What it isn't is shatter resistant. It is hardened to the point where things like keys and razor blades won't scratch it, but it becomes more brittle and a direct impact will shatter it. This information is freely available on the web.

In the case of the glass on the GS3, it doesn't even seem to be scratch resistant. I have heard cases of the HTC One X scratching easily as well, and it also uses Gorilla Glass 2. Very disappointing.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DD-Ripper:
This is the common misconception of people who think gorrilla glass is scracth resistant. Gorrilla glass only protects the screen from cracking when slipped from the hands or pocket. Its not scratch resistant.

Gorilla glass 2 is more thinner and more fragile than Gorilla Glass 1.

The main weakness of gorrilla glass is small minute particles that have settled on the screen.

Dont believed it...???

Take a particle of salt on your fingertip and spread it on the screen. Have a look on clear sunlight and you will see a light scratch (depending on the force).

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krispy1:
you are incorrect

gorilla glass IS made to be scratch resistant and not drop resistant.

also gorilla glass 2 is not more fragile then gorilla glass 1, gorilla glass 2 is 20% thinner but same strength

personally they shouldnt have made it 20% thinner instead same thickness and 20% stronger

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IFireflyl:
Honestly, I'm of the opinion (<--note that keyword) that anyone with scratches on this device is doing something wrong. I've had the phone just over two weeks. I don't have a screen protector, or even a case for it. It's just like it was when I got it out of the box (except that I actually put the battery in it and removed all the sticky transparent film from it). I constantly have this in my pocket with nothing besides the occasional spare change to keep it company. No scratches. At all.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poker gypsy:
I said it before I must have a defective glass because other then wrapping it in a blanket full of feathers I was careful
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DD-Ripper:
Remember that as u said phone has just passed two weeks. Let it pass 2 months without screen protector and you will notice the results in sunlight. Choice is yours coz I have experienced this. :/

Scratch resistant is not scratch proof.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyb3rGlitch:
You guys do realise that the scratches you're getting are not in the glass, but the oleophobic coating, right?

Just enjoy your phone and stop looking for scratches. Eventually the coating will wear off anyway.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esist:
Very true. But I don't agree a material that get's scratched by merely going in and out of (otherwise empty) pockets can be described as scratch resistant.

Scratch-free under normal use would be scratch resistant. Only something like a diamond surface would be scratch proof.

It is neither of these. Don't get me wrong, GG2 has its advantages: scratches cause such minimal fracturing and spread, that I can absolutely not find them when the screen is on, even if I know where they are and am looking for them. Even off, I must not only be looking for them, but looking at just the right angle in the right light.

It would be nice to be scratch free. But it is a difficult requirement: the screen must be sufficiently flexible to withstand the ever-so-slight bending it will endure, plus be able to absorb the vibration of small falls without shattering. This necessitates it being slightly soft and thus scratchable.

The only alternative is for it to be extremely hard, like diamond. And while we can manufacture diamonds with extremely cheap raw materials, for the time being, the process is not economically feasible. I had hoped GG2 might be something approaching this, but it seems not.

How do you know this? I'm not actively doubting you, but I never saw it confirmed anywhere that the screen is oleophobic for one thing.

How do you know that's what is being scratched? (Again, I'm inclined to believe you could be right, but I'm curious how you know)

It would also explain why (for the first time on a phone) I cannot "feel" the scratch by running my nail perpendicularly over it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poker gypsy:
I hope you're right! but I have a screen protector now the good part is that I can not see the scratches any more lol

my cousin is always saying that he is careful with his phones. no phone has survived in his hands, once he was talking on the phone (nokia 5140) and just when he finished he tried to put it in his pocket and missed... next to him a truck full of potatoes (we worked in a farm when we were young) was coming and ran over the phone :D

im trying to say is that I always think how and where I leave the phone unlike my cousin and thats why I havent had any problems with scratches.

everyone by their definition says they are careful, but are they really?

ive seen people buy 5 cases 10 screen protectors etc. they spend like $/£100 on protection and make their sleek phone look UGLY! why not get insurance instead and pay like £5-£10 a month which will probably cost less than bying cases etc.

(and not I'm not working for insurance company haha)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcurley:
Have to chime in. I did several tests and found the easiest way to scratch the GS3 is with copper. So any loose change, pad lock keys OR the buttons that are right at the top of your pocket in a pair of jeans.

Those little copper buttons, that your phone will slide against when pulling it out and putting it away, will scratch the GS3. I got a scratch, so I put the phone on my him to keep it from getting scratched. The the hip case gave out, needless to say, I put a new screen on it today. Put the screen protector on it if you don't want scratches. Put a case on it if you don't want it to shatter.

You can say your old phone took a beating and never broke, but your old phone had a much larger plastic (or metal) bezel around it. The GS3 goes right to the corner. it will break if it hits that corner.

Lots of scratches

I've been using my SGS3 for about 2 months now and since a couple of days, my screen is full of scratches. And I can feel the scratches when running my nail over them, so they're not in the coating. I don't know what caused them, since I never dropped it. It must have been sand in my pocket or something (I go to the beach a lot). I had a SGS1 for 2 years and only had 1 scratch on the screen because I dropped it.

Could it be that Samsung used different types of glass for the same model? It's highly remarkable that some users report no scratches at all and other users report scratches after just days of use.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bagulhodoido:
Perhaps people have different acceptance levels when it comes to scratches.

I myself, think that if you can see it, with the screen turned off, against the sun light, in the brightest day of the year, well, it is a scratch, and it drives me nuts. Some people need to feel the salience with their foot toe nail to accept as a scratch.

About different versions or different assembly components and stuff, well, don't go that way. I'm from Brazil and here people say that the Brazilian GS3 is inferior than the international one because their mobile got scratches. They should read this topic and stop complaining they got scammed whatsoever.

There was a rumor, actually, that the Brazilian version did not have the gorilla glass 2, pretty much because it wasn't wrote on the box. Let's say that the Samsung client support is having a lot of work explaining to several customers why their new GS3 boxes doesn't have gorilla glass wrote on it.
