That will ONLY delete YOUR data off the phone. It is NOT a full factory reset though.
[Motorola Atrix 2] chriz7388:
Huhhh... i think i found the solution and since yesterday, i haven't faced this problem yet. First of all, thanks atrix_spider for ur support all the way. I had this app known as mobicop installed in my phone. It is an anti theft software which has a property to show up in the list of home screen launcher when you press the home button. I force stopped it and right now, no other such homescreen launchers are working even in background. When i had go launcher installed in my phone but was not using it, even then i noticed that default homescreen got reverted to go launcher homescreen l, even when i had selected motoblur homescreen as default. Now the problem boils down to the question whether this problem of will continue to be even if i have some launcher installed bt m not using it. From the behaviour of my phone, i guess the same. I found the issue with mobicop when immidiately after my phone jumped to homescreen, i noticed in the recent apps tray that mobicop was showing up as the most recent app launched.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Glad to hear you got things sorted out. Now, get rid of that app and don't look back! In my experiences, anti-theft/virus/whatever apps will only cause more malice -even if their design's intent is good- and should be avoided completely.

Hi Chriz, I also noticed this message in the log recently..

/MID (265)POW: Unable to allow system to suspend. MID will continue anyway but system power management may be disturbed. -- [main, 1030]

I never installed a go launcher or any security software in my unrooted atrix 2. Do you know what is the real cause of this message ? what is MID ?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] s13envy:
I recently bought an extended battery for my skyrocket. I used it for a few days and one night while on the charger it apparently didn't charge. It was only at 70%. Then I noticed it would drop charge while plugged in and using it. The charge icon would stay on but it would consistently drop in percentage. So I switched back to the factory battery thinking that was the problem. Nope. The phone will charge as long as I'm not using it. I also can't get my phone to connect to the computer. Tried 3 different computers and 2 different cables (1 being the factory cable).

Another issue is that I have a custom ROM installed and if I'm going to turn this in for warranty how do I get it back to stock if I can't do it through Odin?

Thanks for the help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jyazzie110:
I would suggest cleaning the contacts on the battery and phone and try a can of air duster to blow out the usb ports u are trying to use including the phones usb. If all else fails read the stickies in the development section to go back to stock.

P.S. im not sure if u can go back to stock without ODIN. But just read the stickies cuz i could be wrong
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] s13envy:
After a quick search last night all I found was info on reverting back to stock with Odin. I cleaned the USB port on my phone with a tooth brush. Got a lot of crap out of there but it didn't help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jyazzie110:
Yea he only is through odin so u can get the stock recovery as well. Maybe go to a friends house that has a pc??

Well if odin isnt working im not sure how u can return to stock

EDIT: look at the thread here in the general section for returning to stovk via kies....that might help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Intub8:
I'm not sure if its possible but on my i777 I was able to use the mobile Odin app to flash the stock firmware. Possibly something a dev could come up in cwm since failing USB ports are becoming more and more common. A cwm flashable rom maybe and a separate stock kernal to flash after.

I installed the epst.apk so I could install different prls

Side by side the hero and evo get similar db readings but the hero will lock into 3g while the evo will only lock into 1xrtt

When the evo does show 3g, it only lasts a couple of seconds before dropping back down to 1xrtt

[Motorola Photon 4G] Tridacnid:
Long story short I formatted my internal SD with CWM in a moment of stupidity. I'm running the peetr ROM on Straight Talk. Would it even be possible to recreate the /pds partition with CWM? I have a backup of it, but when I restore it doesn't make it back on and CWM can't mount the pds partition.

I have found these threads:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1575035

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1131649

I could certainly do it through fastboot but I don't have access to a Windows computer atm and for whatever reason linux fastboot isn't recognizing my device over USB.

thanks all!

EDIT: just reread this and realized how vague I am being.

1) is there a way to tell if there is a functioning pds partition on my phone? Like I said I already flashed a nandroid recovery.

2) if I don't have a working pds partition, is there a way to use the pdsfix.img or whatever in the 2nd link in CWM mod to fix it without fastboot?

Hi Guys, I know that its possible to root the phone without unlocking the bootloader, but the method seams a bite complicated.

Does anybody knows if there is one exploit out now or some dev is working on it?

Best regards

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] farvin:
I think I can follow some simple steps, but thanks for the answer. . .

I just read about the method where I should downgrade to GB and then flash ICS a couple of times. Some people just seams to have some problems with it.

I just remember that the 2011 line, had an root exploit and that was easy :-)

[Galaxy S III Accessories] artisticcheese:
http://www.expansys-usa.com/fastmac-u-socket-dual-socket-usb-outlet-white-229425/

According to specs it outputs 2.4A which is well above 0.7A which Samsung provided DC adapter outputs. Will this charge faster? Will it damage Galaxy S3 or decrease battery life? Any experts on this issue?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Shadowex3:
To the best of my knowledge any remotely "smart" device will only draw what it needs, which is why a 40w lightbulb doesn't explode when you plug it into the same mains outlet that can power a giant dyson motor... so unless something's particularly out of spec you should be fine.
[Android Apps and Games] HappyPaul55:
By now all the search engines are getting annoyed with me. I've tried Sync [INSERT EVERYTHING HERE] Screens and not found what I'm after.

I have nice small Samsung Galaxy Mini that sits on my cars Dashboard, all nice and happy and enjoying the great floods of the UK. I have an Unknown MID Tablet with a large screen. What I''m trying to do is Write text on my small screen that sends Bluetooth message to my large screen android which is sat in the back of my car so that the person driving behind me can read it.

It sounds so simple when you put it like that.

The idea I had in mind was to show messages to the people behind, like, TURN YOUR LIGHTS ON, GET YOUR HEADLIGHTS OUT MY GEARBOX, etc etc...

Everything sounds so simple yet I can't find any app that doesn't anything like this. The nearest I can get is remote desktop and file syncing. Both miles away from what I want. Also it would be cool if it has speech to text, because Google loves my voice and gets it right 100% of the time.

Game on, Rage on.

So now that I've vented a little anger out on bad drivers and bad search engines. Where can I find or request/buy (but not make myself because jumping into Android is quite hard).

Thanks, XDA, you make me Happy,

Paul.

I'll keep hunting :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] randomusername22:
Hey everyone

So there's plenty of people complaining about the xperia s' battery and for those that are happy with opening their phones up there may be some good news. I was checking out youtube and this person seems to have made a pretty cool mod which allows you to change the battery like (relatively) normal.

I can't post links as I'm new but just search on youtube xperia s battery mod

So that's all good but if I do take the leap and make this mod which battery can I use? From my research it's a BA800 battery sony are using. I found these on ebay uk from china (either search xperia s battery or ba800 battery you can get like 2 and a dock charger for about £6) but as it looks like a cheap third party battery I'm not sure I trust them. To be honest I have used cheap ones before and so have plenty of other people but are they safe?

Think about it with the extra battery it would eliminate the trouble of having to ration your battery when your on a trip or that odd day you are using it heavily etc.

So what do you guys and girls think? I was surpised this hadn't already been talked about on the fourms but I guess it's due to the xs being fairly new and people won't really need to change batteries for a while.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kien:
That's pretty clever, make's it seem silly why Sony didn't make the battery interchangeable in the first place.

I have heard something about after you disassemble the device and take the battery out the NFC stops working because it's located above the battery?

Just remove the back cover, un-screw 10 pcs of screw. Cut the u-channel on the base cover. I have taken many photo and let's upload to this site later. It is now HKT 2:00, I need sleep...

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Gloris:
think it's only worth the hassle of unscrewing things etc if you can get hold of an extended battery, rather than still having to keep swapping batteries out. if anyone finds a battery that's say double the capacity of the stock one, let us know and i'll gladly take a screwdriver to the thing :p

I have done the mod too.

To anyone interested, one could purchase an extra middle cover for the phone and cut the hole in that.

Just in case you do not want to mess up the original middle cover.

Unfortunately, without realizing it , somehow my loud speaker got destroyed during the "transplant" operation, so i am waiting on a new one .(weird situation, i did not even force

the darn thing to come out, i cannot understand what happened to it!)

I did not move the nfc circuit since i never use it anyway!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] monognr:
I got a bigger capacity battery but didnt notice any improvements. After reading a lot of forum posts, my conclusion is that all ofrece the "high capacity batteries" are just regular batteries with higher mAh label. Dont fall for this scam!

What i did in the end is i bought 2 external Sony batteries (2000 mAh each) for when im traveling. I also always carry a chárter or at least a short usb cable. Ohh i also did the mod and use my fake "high capacity battery" with it.

As you can see (read), i hate running short on battery :)

hi guys, i have a suggestion.

My mate at the workshop modifies batteries which we cant find on the local market when a client needs a new battery.

So what he does is this, he gets the clients old/dead battery, opens it up and removes the cell from inside (keeping the frame and circuit board, then he buys a new battery which has a similar physical size and shape as the client's battery. He opens disassembles the new battery and then puts in the client's battery frame and uses the old circuit board (be careful of polarity).

voila, the client has a working "new" battery.

If anyone can suggest an Original Model battery that has a higher capacity than that of xperia ion from at&t, i will buy such a battery and test on my xperia ion. Coz the battery i have in it sucks. It drains to empty (same day) while the phone is on complete standby without even a sim inside!!

Hey,

Some very bad news: i am with my friend right now, but he dropped his sgm in a car accident. :(. (Friend is ok) The phone hit the ground very hard, now the screen is shatterd out and the front keys are out.

Now the problem is.. that he is in warranty and would like to bring it to samsung care, but his phone is running minisIII (costum rom), and he cant flash it back.

The phone still boots, if you push the sound buttons you hear sound, but the front keys are slammed out, so he cant start in download mode.

Is there any way he can start it in download mode to flash stock rom back?

Very thanks if you wanna help. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] EVIL THOR:
Yes, power button+home button+volume down button.

I don't know sincerely, i'm not a samsung service boy but i think that for body problems is not needed go back to stock rom, i think that go back to stock rom is needed only for software or hardware issues about the rom and then if you have a custom rom you lose the warranty because is your fault if the device is damaged, but for body problems is not fault of rom then you do not should lose your warranty, however you should speak with a samsung service boy for be sure, and then about the download mode you can also enter in download mode from the terminal emulator.

guys the OP say that the ****ing front keys

are out (which mean the home button) so actually he can"t boot in dl mod, but i think that the service will repair it since it's not a software problem

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] EVIL THOR:
...depends of damage, if is little maybe they repair for free, for example to a my friend it was broken the glass of display but they have repaired for free in warranty, then i think that if the damage is little (few money) they repair for free.

P.s.

however you have understood bad that one that i mean, i mean that if you install a custom rom and then you do some damage you lose your warranty because is your fault and not fault of samsung if you have damaged the device then after you must pay for repair, in warranty the samsung repair only manufacturing issue, and in theory for all the rest you should pay, but the samsung is a big manufacturing and also serious then repair almost all in warranty for business for get more samsung users.
