http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1385283

The RAZR guys came up with a handy feature called CWM on boot, it basically allows ur phone to boot into CWM every time it boots up. Why would you want to do that? Lets say you flash something to your phone and it results in a bootloop, upon the reboot it would go right into CWM where you could simply restore your nandroid until you can figure out the cause of the problem. You dont need to leave it active at all times though, you can activate it when you're getting ready to flash something and then deactivate it once you confirm what you flashed is fine.

Think it would be possible to do this on the GS3 and if so how many of you would be interested in such a feature?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Gadgetz:
Nobody wants CWM on boot?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] sultanqasim:
I suppose it could be somewhat useful, but if one gets into a reboot loop, one could just force a shutdown, or pull the battery worst case scenario, the boot with the home and volume up buttons pressed to go into recovery. One less thing to set before and after flashing that way, and nothing new or additional to do.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] nosympathy:
No as It is Not hard to boot into recovery...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Gadgetz:
I hear you...but with CWM on boot it would automatically go into CWM in the event of a bootloop.

It's not hard to boot into recovery if your phone is stuck in a bootloop?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] nosympathy:
Nope. Pull battery and then boot phone by holding volume down(it is either volume up or down. I think up is download mode. New to samsung so i dont have it all memorized yet) while holding the home button and power. Boots right into recovery.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] gyrra:
Actually this is not such a great thing.

Just this morning I realized that my other phone (evo shift 4g) was not fully plugged in overnight and did not charge. In fact the battery drained completely.

Here lies the problem: when I plugged in the charger cable it booted into recovery mode and this would not allow the battery to charge. I couldn't shut the phone off because as soon as charge was applied through cable it would boot into recovery.

I don't know if this is device specific or not, but if it weren't for someone else at work with same battery, I would have had to purge my boot partition just to charge, and hopefully been able to restore it afterwards.

So unless this is addressed and something like a power check is done at boot, I will never return to using this recovery. (First thing I did when I got home was to replace recovery)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] nosympathy:
CWM is beyond well known for having charging issues.

On the rezound with CWM if you let your phone die, you couldnt recharge it. You had to charge your battery in another phone just to be able to boot to charge.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Gadgetz:
It seems the masses have spoken, by not speaking, I liked the feature on my Atrix 2 but if you guys dont think its a useful feature to have then so be it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Tweek900:
Ok so i'm having an issue, I use my phone to tether as my main internet connection. Before with my x2 i was able to turn off CDMA and use EVDO only. So text wouldn't cut off my tethering date. On this phone i'm in EVDO only mode but i still get text messages :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Tweek900:
I dont think i can get phone calls in evdo only but the text still mess up the internet. This is weird
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HHF2:
This phone does data and you can use the phone at the same time. Not sure about it while tethering, shouldn't be a difference though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Tweek900:
I was under the impression that this feature only works while on 4g is that not the case?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sneakysolidbake:
Always works. Its a qualcomm SoC thing. Rezound and thunderbolt could as well. Kind of silly to jump to conclusions like that without actually seeing if it hurts anything. I've answered phone calls while playing black light online.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Tweek900:
Its not really silly, with the x2 if you got a text or a phone call you lost internet. Everything i read said it was because of the verizon network. so i figured it was every phone. Just what i read and was told by people on here and verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] screwyluie:
New to Verizon.. if I understand correctly you're saying this phone can do voice and data? Even on 3g ?

I thought Verizon's network couldn't do that. If the previous statement is correct then can we use the international dialers that have video built into them ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Tweek900:
I thought the same thing, But i guess that was silly of me to think....... lol Really though idk what samsung did with this phone but on 3g you can do data and voice at the same time. i'm kinda surprised. I know nothing about international dialers
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sneakysolidbake:
Like I said, its a qualcomm SoC (system on chip) thing. What I'm saying is silly is that you already claimed the txt messages hurt your tethering.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nosympathy:
Those of us who started with the thunderbolt and then rezound have had this feature. I love it as i used to have att which was this way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] screwyluie:
I also came from ATT so this is a nice surprise for me.

as for the dialers, I know there are dialer apps out there (which generally come from non US phones) that have video calling features built into them, is there anyone watching this thread who could tell me if it would be possible to get one and make use of it? and would it require root to replace the dialer app? (I'm guessing it would)

thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hrffd:
Can you get OTA on AOKP? I switched back to EL29 Gingerbread. But it keeps saying no firmware update is available so I'm just wondering if they would of missed me or something.

I want the update they send out to the phones just incase of anything, such as modems and connection issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Any of the custom ROMs built on FF18 will contain the same thing that OTA had - it has been checked against the leak already.

And no, you cannot pick up OTA on AOKP - stock (rooted/unrooted) only.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SouthPhilly:
If you were still running AOPK, no you wouldn't see it. But since you flashed back to EL29 you will get the OTA. From what I've read the OTA is rolling out in waves. Your region may not have had it rolled out yet.

Why don't you just flash the rooted OTA from the dev section??? Again from what I've read there were no changes made to the OTA from the leaked version of FF18. And word to the wise, if you were to take the OTA you would have to root all over again.

If your having radio or signal issues try flashing a couple different modems till you find one the works for your area.

Gotta throw some love out to you guys. We don't have alot of developers but we got some good ones, and good members too. A couple weeks ago I was ready to cut my losses with the Flyer, but now I'm pretty content on keeping it. My phone on the other hand, the whole community has gone nuts, and declared mutiny against the mods lol. Nice to see we can all get along here and work to make this device better :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
nothing better like this, after a trip downhill with DG :)

i still like my Flyer and community will probably remain, just look at the Folio100 which started from nothing and they got pretty a 100% working ICS without even Toshiba helping, all because of XDA community and the support.

due to the different opinions of the mods, you will see one section where users get banned, another one where mods are promoting their devs, and a third pushing for gpl rules and another where they do not care. mods are just people, they can easily mess up the sections, but as long as its kept in other sections we are happy :)

im personally quite happy with our mods in this section :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
This is all for fun, I think sometimes people lose sight of it
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
Yeah no complaints about our mods. Honestly I dunno what's going on in the vivid section, I don't care to be part of it I know that. Thankfully its a good phone on stock because it's an all out war zone over there and pretty soon I'm certain development will cease as all the developers leave. I didn't make this thread to rat out anybody just saying it really puts our community in perspective :-)

Really its the best xda forum I've been a part of. As nice as all the development on the captivate was it was almost overwhelming. You had probably 4 or 5 varieties of cm7 available, 2 or 3 ics roms in development, and a 100 modified stock roms. So you pretty much had to become a crack flasher to find out what was best for you and forget getting to know anyone.

We have a device that was a flop business wise and we were left for dead on a crappy honeycomb update. We all have our spats from time to time but everyone is pretty cool here and trys to help each other out to get the best flyer experience possible.

Hard to say considering there are more then 50 forums on xda.

Go take a look at the Tmobile G1 aka HTC Dream. Those of you that know that forum know what Im talking about.

The G1 had ICS before 95% of the phones
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
It's not about the forum with the most roms im talking just great community in general which is what we have. And remember we're working blind with this device. My captivate benefited from sharing identical hardware with the Google flagship, we have the desire hd, one v, and well that's about it, not to mention no tablets that share the hardware so ics almost has to come from scratch. Not to mention my Captivate had entire teams of people working in ics roms. The stuff our few developers have accomplished is nothing short of incredible.

You need to flash a GB kernel such as abyss then wipe cache and dalvik before upgrading using pc odin.

U can flash it from PC Odin or mobile Odin and u dont have to wipe data after flashing...

PC Odin is safer..

I updated mine yesterday from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 via PC version of Odin and didn't wipe the data. It works pretty darn good, but the issue that I had previously on 4.0.3 is still present here - dropping the wifi signal...

eMMC bug

Thanks you all.

I also happen to have the eMMC bug according to the ChainFires GotBricked :(

I did upgrade from GB to 4.0.3 (Open UK) via Kies when the ICS came out.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] best98:
Seems that the bug won't affect you if you go through Odin..

Well, I did it from Odin, then flashed the CF Root + Speedmod kernel in the same way to get CWM + Root + Kernel optimizations on top of ICS 4.0.4 !

It may take 10 minutes if all is prepared.

4.0.4 file size

Is the un-zipped .tar file size meant to be about 950mb?

I am running 4.0.3 (rooted) and NoteCore v13 Kernel so as far as I can tell from this, all I need to do is flash this via Odin and it's all gravy from there.

Thought?

Thanks,

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CosmoDroid:
Just download a 4.0.4 official firmware from Dr.Ketan's list and flash it with PC Odin. Done. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
Yeah, use PC Odin and click on the 'PDA' button to look for the .tar file and that's it. Click on "Start"

On the side note, I did mine not thru PC Odin but thru Mobile Odin pro. Either way, the processes are quite the same, Flash the .tar file and that's it.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] dorferiferon:
Using ICS 232 leak I am able to utilize Webtop 3.0 nicely. I have encountered an issue with the HDMI out of my phone being a fixed volume. If I change the audio routing from HDMI to phone speaker I am able to change the volume on the phone. Every time I put it in the Lapdock I must change the routing manually to Phone Speaker. I am trying to find out if anyone else has had this issue.

I assume if I were to hook up to another device besides the Bionic Lapdock I would control the volume from the other device but the Lapdock even has nice fancy function keys for this purpose. Should you have installed ICS Leak 232, have a Bionic Lapdock and a Bionic (goes without saying) I would appreciate you seeing if you see the same issue. Failing that I would be curious if any other Lapdock model exhibits the behavior.

Thanks a bunch!

<rant> The one thing that kind of sticks in my craw is not that I am beta testing for Motorola and VZW. It is the fact that VZW and Moto want to tell you that you voided your warranty because you used the software that they intentionally leaked. How many leaked copies of Windows betas do you really see? Certainly not 4 different releases in less than 6 weeks. These companies are smart. I don't mind testing stuff, just don't tell me that their software leaks void their hardware warranty. </rant>
[Motorola Droid Bionic] thecodydavis:
I'm with you. I've had broken audio control since moving to Webtop 3.0 on ICS leaks. I've searched the forums (including the RAZR and Atrix forums) to see if there had been problems on other devices and I only found one proposed way to fix it- turn off the audio effects when in webtop. It didn't work for me though. This might be something that just gets fixed along the way to a stable build. I've also had the same thought (that you mentioned also) that it could just be a problem on the "Bionic Lapdock" and not the newer models. Hopefully we get some answers soon?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] unbesorgt:
I'm on the .232 leak and the volume keys work just fine on my Lapdock 500. Works with audio effects turned on or off. Wonder what's different?

[edit] Just noticed you are both using the Bionic Lapdock rather than the 500 -- that must be it. Hopefully they fix it in a future build.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dorferiferon:
I'm going to give the audio effects controls a try a little later. I could simply use external speakers with the headphone jack as I have an audio cable to use with my stereo.

I'm just frustrated because I was honest with VZW about what I had done with my phone and now it is out of warranty. No need to wield empty threats about another vendor, it's about the network, but their business practices leave something to be desired.

Now I know why my Lapdock was only $50. ;)

Crippled hardware because they don't wanna spend the time or effort to develop the drivers properly. I do have to say that the webtop 3.0 does run very nice.

I never ran the earlier versions of webtop I don't know the difference.

How many of you are having manufacturer defects out of the box?

Had a dead pixel on mine that I picked up from GameStop :(

Also it seems the screen is coming up on the left like if the adhesive is giving out already.

I spoke to GameStop who referred me to play store but then play store said any warranty claims have to be done through the retailer. Obviously GameStop is out of stock but they said they were emailing corporate for me today to ask for another unit to be sent. So I should have mine replaced around Wednesday hopefully.

*EDIT* - Poll added

Another member (Capt.PP) asked me to include a poll to ask where we got our defective Nexus 7 tablets. If your place isn't on the list please include it in your post.

Lol. Looks like trolling but I did read in another thread a guy had issue with his screen stating to come off his I/O device. I noticed mine while I was holding it on the left side the screen was giving in and making some creaking and such. Upon closer inspection I noticed on the left side/middle area the screen was actually sitting above the frame. Everywhere else it was sitting nicely and recessed under the frame.

Anyway the risk of defects is always going to be higher with the first runs.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazaro17:
Sure...its a bit difficult to see on a picture but its basically the screen rising above the border in one area so the edge of the screen is exposed. That same area is soft as well where pressing on makes the screen move in and out with creaking. The rest of the edges are sturdy.

Dead pixel I'm not posting photo since I'm sure everyone knows what that looks like but its located on the app drawer button in portrait mode. Shows up the most in white backgrounds.

Mine has a similar issue, its on the left middle section. Whatever is holding the screen down is coming loose like the adhesive. The screen works fine but you can see the screen is raised a couple a cm or so. Makes a slight creak sound.

Might contact Asus for warranty and see how they do it or just give Gamestop some time so i can exchange it.

Bet this is going to be a known issue all around. I was able to push it down but i figure its adhesive so its eventually going to happen again and again until the adhesive isn't sticky anymore. Sad days but other than that this tablet is solid.
