Ok, so i have been patiently waiting for the JB update on my Play store purchased USA GSM GN that I have been using on Tmobile.

I finally get the update while I am at work, cant download since I don't have wifi there. The wait until 5pm was agonizing! :-)

I finally get home, download the update, it asks to restart and install, i click ok.

It reboots into recovery, but I see the andorid guy with the triangle and a red exclamation mark! It stays there for a couple of minutes and then just boots normally into android os without applying the update.

I rebooted manually into recovery to see if I could reproduce the issue and sure enough i get the red exclamation mark.

I held down Volume Up and Power button and it boots into stock recovery (3e) where i cannot find anything to apply and I just wiped cache and data and rebooted.

Of course, now I check for system update and it says system is up to date.

What just happened? I was rooted, but with stock recovery, locked bootloader.

Anybody else have this issue. How do I fix it so that the next time it finds the update i don't have this happen again??

Thanks in advance,

I could just pull my hair out in frustration....

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
You must be 100% stock for the OTA to apply. Correct radio, UI, build.prop, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kgdg:
hmm i was just thinking this could be the reason.

A little while back i had modified the build.prop for removing boot animation (using GN Toolkit).

In fact i have been trying to restore the backup of the build.prop file back, but haven't been able to.

Any ideas on how to restore everything back to stock (i even tried that option of downloading google stock image IMM76D from the toolkit) and flashed it, but I still get the exclamation point when I boot into recovery...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] negrobembon:
That android with the exclamation point is the stock recovery, press volume up and power button at the same time a few times and the recovery menu should pop up
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Look at the "flash" link in my sig to return to stock, and the "update" link to update to 4.1.1 from 4.0.4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kgdg:
efrant,

I will follow the instructions on the flash link to go completely stock, I assume that will fix the red exclamation issue.

All i want is to put the device in a state that will be able to download the official JB (and future) updates and install them.

I thought I was already in that position when I got the OTA earlier today and downloaded it, but when i tried to install it, it booted into recovery and gave me that red mark, so I was assuming that the issue is with the (stock) recovery image.

Would that be a correct assumption?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kgdg:
negrobombon,

I understand that and that works and have tried that. But I am trying to understand if this exclamation mark showing up in recovery is the cause for the OTA to not install?

Or is it unrelated? It sounds like it is unrelated as people are saying the exclamation mark just means that it is stock recovery.

That seems to be proven since I followed the link erfant posted to go completely back to stock and after all that, I still have that exclamation mark in the recovery.

It really doesn't matter if I can confirm that is NOT the cause for my OTA to not install.

Now I am completely stock and looks like I will have to wait again for the OTA to show up (I just want to OTA, not apply the update manually as I want to test if this time around, the OTA installs correctly)...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kgdg:
efrant,

I would just like to say, what a fantastic job you did on the steps in that guide.

It's definitely my preferred way of doing it instead of a toolkit blackbox method where you don't know what it is doing and it's great for when it works, but if it doesn't...you have no idea how to troubleshoot and don't know which step it failed on or what the error is.

Now, have to go back to #*#*checkin*#*# to see if that will speed up my OTA (not really sure if that helps at all). It seems like that does the same thing as Settings->About->System Update->Check Now...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HitmanBM:
Hello to everyone.

My Play came with an 8-GB card which, as I found out, tends to run out of space quite soon. Hess than half an hour - in total - of HD video is enough to fill it up.

Thus I'm looking for a 32-GB one. But I would also like it to be a class 10, as it should have far better read/write times than the original class 4.

I found one in Amazon, supposedly made by Samsung, but after having a look at the comments, I concluded it's a scam (not a real 10-class).

So, could you recommend something that fits my needs? Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UNCUT88RAW:
I recommend a Class 6 microsd instead. Why? A Class 10 card may have a better read/write speed than a Class 6 one but reaction time is also important. The class 10 cards usually have a higher reaction time. You will notice THAT in games in form of lags when it is loading a level or when playing. Also, performance in Launcher/App Drawer is slightly worse. When copying files from or to the microsd card Class 10 cards only perform better when these files are large in size. When you copy a lot of files with small sizes the performance will be bad.

So, use Class 6 cards. And beware of no name cards or cards from Ebay since they´re not reliable. I had a micro sd Class 10 from Komputerbay and god that one was a nightmare:mad:. Bad performance, files corrupted or the whole card erased itself:(.

Then I bought the San Disk micro sdxc 64gb class 6 card and it was like a dream:D. The performance is really good, almost like a Class 10 card one and important :reliable!:silly: It costs 80 Euros in Germany, but it´s worth the money. It works without any flaws in the Xperia Play. Just make sure you format it with FAT32. Search for a format tool on the web.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HitmanBM:
Okay, so class 10 means better speed when recording or transferring HD video or large files, but worse for every other use.

And class 6 is better for smaller files and games - did I get that right?

I can already shoot high definition video smoothly with my 4-class card, so the change of card type may improve performance only in games.

Since I'm using my Play for gaming too, it would make sense to opt for a class 6.

But the 64-GB Sandisk comes with a hefty price tag, too much money just for increased memory in a mobile phone.

So, I should seek a 32 GB, 6-class card.

Any other opinions?

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordBattleBeard:
I bought a Samsung 32GB Class 10 Micro SD HC after some research and it works perfectly in all the uses I've had for it.

No lag with gaming. HD video records with no frame loss. Mounts much faster than the generic sd card that came with the phone.

Class 10 being more laggy in certain scenarios is a specious argument. It may have been true a year or so ago but with any decent card made more recently, the argument no longer holds true.

Basic guidelines to follow:

- Check the card spec for read/write speed of different file sizes.

- Always buy from a reputable seller. Either directly from Amazon or play (not 3rd party sellers) to ensure you get the genuine article. Avoid eBay. Its riddled with fakes.

My card tested with CrystalDiskMark - 500mb file:

Tests taken with my in-use sd card, connected through USB storage mode on xperia play.

Would potentially get even better results if the card was formatted and connected through sd adaptor.

As the results show, not only is it good at reading/writing large files, necessary for hd video recording. But also has good random read/write speeds, more than sufficient for smartphone operation, certainly won't cause lag and beats some class 4-6 cards results in this respect.

Other speedtests taken with the same card can be found here and here.

Try reading some reviews about it.

Based on my experience it is fast I can also play games without any problem. You will still experience mini-lags some time but it's considerable. :victory:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mighty Arceus493:
My Nexus S is on the stock rom and I wanted to download some Jellybean apps from: http://androidforums.com/evo-v-4g-all-things-root/574539-resource-apps-jelly-bean-4-1-apks.html and started off with the Calendar app here. Using root explorer, I deleted the Calendar apk that was already there and I was even dumb enough to remove the other Calendar files (one of them was a .odex file and I can't remember the other one). Then I copied the Jellybean Calendar to system/app and set the permissions to r-w-r-r and then I tried to install but I get "Replace app?

This is a system app. All your user data will be saved." before installing, then I tap OK and install but I get "App not installed" every time. :( Is there a way that I can get any Calendar apk to install successfully?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Billchen0014:
stock rom? ICS i presume? well, just flash another set of gapps http://goo.im/gapps/ choose the ics one, and you should get your data back since it's synced with Google Calendar.

If you're using ics, unmodified jb gapps cannot be installed, because jb has api level 16, while ics has only level 15, so don't try this

I have some 1280/800 wallpapers that I would like to use but when selecting them you can insert the whole pic. You have to crop etc and then you can't see the whole wallpaper.. is there anyway to get my full picture on screen

Giving it some beans on my blue S3 Powered by CheckROM EvoHD™ V2
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] computerking:

I tried that. 1st problem is it does not show up in app drawer. 2nd problem i have to open app in party store.3rd problem when i open it ,it just gives me the gallery or wallpeper option then i have to crop still
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CharliesTheMan:
I had this problem too, but don't worry it will completely work. Thanks to lost sorrow who gave me lessons.

You don't open it from the app drawer. You open it by pressing to add the wallpaper and when it asks you to choose what app or wallpaper to open say live wallpaper and when you do it will ask if you want to open regular live wallpaper or the multilive app.

It will take some tinkering to learn to use he app but there's a TON of different settings and configurations to allow you to do everything under the sun. Personally, I set it to use one wallpaper image that doesn't change, so my wallpaper stays in place and the launcher home pages rotate on top of the one wallpaper. You can also have the wallpaper change at each homescreen or use one wallpaper that turns with home pages but stays the same image, etc.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 24dupo24:
PicSpeed and Tablet Wallpaper also do the trick. Same thing as above. Choose wallpaper in gallery and choose one of these programs to apply it as wallpaper. This has been answered several times in Themes section.

So I come from Evo lineage and am excited to join the Nexus family but no micro SD is very new to me. I'm rooted and want to start flashing some jelly bean but wouldn't the roms and mod delete when I wipe data/factory reset?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Nope. Custom recoveries preserve /data/media. Anything you have on your virtual sd will stay. The only thing that will wipe it is when you unlock your bootloader.

Huh? You don't "make" anything. In a custom recovery on the Galaxy Nexus, a "wipe" does not delete your /sdcard/ directory by default. Theres nothing special about it.

They're claiming MUCH longer battery life on the A700. The only downside I see is it lacks a full-size USB port...but there are adapters for that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MooreAJr2012:
To make a really long story short, after Sprint's recent ota 5.07.651.1 (the update that came with the Sprint connections optimizer) was installed on my phone, I could no longer download or update ANY apps on the android/google play market while connected to 4G. Went to the Sprint store to get it fixed, they tried and failed, got a new replacement handset with ota 5.07.651.1 already installed, same exact issue.

If your phone isn't rooted and your bootloader isnt unlocked, then you shouldn't be here. You should be in a sprint store politely asking them for a phone that works.

I was useing ParadoxII for my phone for 4 months. I was listening to music and one day it stoped working.

The other day it was in infinite bootloop and i got it out! however its back to the same thing....

Here the problem.

phone without sim or Sd i insert battery. it will try to load up quarter way to boot up it will vibrate and turn off.

Then if i try to get into recovery mode (hit threee buttons then let go of power) it may or may not get in... once i am in.. if i dont act fast it will shut off. or if i try to select wipe cache( it might not send the command and shut off)

Ill try to get into download mode. and it will guess what?? shut off and start to vibrate and then vibrate and vibrate

any suggestions?

Stuck power button -_-

you just tried me sir.....

no disrespect but...

that means you think im stupid enough to not know if my power button is broken..... -_-

I FIXED IT YALL!!!! freeking hours upon hours were spent here

ill tell you how i fixed it...

well first i read something about a JIG... a usb jig that makes the phone do directly into download mode....

and i was thinking... hmmm i think iv seen this before automatic download mode...

ah ha! i know i have this thick LG micro usb cable that for some reason if i have low battery it makes it go into download mode..

So... while it was pluged into the wall outlet with ebay battery charger/ usb power outlet and sliped the battery in right quick.

So the cable hooked up to power outlet put in first and quickly the battery is slipped in to make it go into download mode..

however... i only get like 2 seconds before it will shut offf...

so... i turned on odin on my pc and used that cable from my pc. and then hooked up phone to pc via that LG micro usb cable and sliped in the battery fast! then it was in download mode and then i clikced start on the odin ( file preselected) then it will fail and some stuff willbe messed up on the phone and then you can try it again. however this time instead of a download screen its a this phone has problems with recovery and then connect to kies screen.

then use odin while on that screen and proceede.

and boom pass!

however when i put on stock tmobile ics.. my calling wasnt working... WTF!

so i had to put on CWM recover back on the phone via odin..

then i used the backup file i previously made...

Im un bricked!

YES YALL! im unbricked and if this **** bricks again its going on craigs list bc i know it will last a few days before it bricks again

thank you anyways xda.... im not high tech if you cant tell but i can put clues together..

Reformatting worked for me

Success!

My bootloop was caused by a bad CWM factory reset or cache wipe with CWM version 6.0.1.9. Nandroid restore from version 6.0.1.9 was of no help as it failed on the MD5 checksum. Odin flashed older CWM, version 5.0.2.6. In CWM version 5.x, reformatting as laniclamoore suggested and restoring nandroid worked for me.

After getting the boot loop solved, I ran DARKSIDE's cache wipe to fix the shutdown hang on pink splash screen 'Goodbye!'. Hang at shutdown was a separate problem caused by CWM version 5.0.2.6.

Lessons learned: CWM sometimes breaks stuff. Good to keep old version of CWM the ones that correspond to the nandroid.

What a pain but it is great to have the Android community to help.

@laniclamoore, Thanks a bunch. I thought my S II was going to be permanently boot looping paperweight.
