[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] sebmw:
I purchased a brand new TMO marble white version online, came in a sealed box, after opening the box and removing all the protective plastic junk I noticed some very weird discoloration on the silver frame, I don't know how to describe them they are patches of gray spots on the brushed silver frame, mostly on the top and some right above the charging port area, if you have them you'll know what I'm talking about, anybody noticed this.

if its brand new just get it replaced through warranty?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RAVEN6:
I'll post my question after some background:

I was on CWM Touch, downloaded and installed the TWRP from google play. Rebooted into recovery, created backups to internal and external, and flashed SkyICS 4.2f6 by Seanz. I followed OP instructions on how to flash. Did not have any problems and it was very easy to use.

Used TWRP and flashed several MODS and ROM updates without any hitch. All I did was reboot into recovery selected the zip files and swipe to install, did not even had to wipe cache or anything. I am not sure if this is the correct way but I was able to do so without any problems.

I wanted to install the same rom but to do a clean wipe since the rom had several updates. So, I rebooted into TWRP recovery, did OP flashing instructions which were:

-reboot into team win recovery

-wipe system

-factory data reset

-then go to mounts and choose external sd

-no go back and find the rom by choosing install zip

-swipe to confirm

-then install the radio you downloaded

and when complete reboot phone

-at this point everything will be settling and caching

which may or may not seem laggy.... and yes that white line is normal

its a battery representation mod

-im sure youll be eager to update busybox immediatly but let me tell you no

first open super user app.. find preferences and update user binary

hit it twice giving it root permissions

now .. is when to update busy box through the provided installer

-after you have done this

-power down phone

reboot into recovery and flash the latest update

and email package only

However, I was not able to reboot into recovery. I have a Samsung Skyrocket but was not able to put the phone into recovery mode by pressing and holding the power, volume up, and volume down buttons. The phone kept vibrating but the Samsung screen wont come up. Frustrated, I rebooted the phone, downloaded CWM, updated to Touch and proceeded to flash using CWM with no problems.

At this point i'm hesitant on using TWRP. I am not even sure if ODIN supports it. I'm afraid that if i'm on TWRP and brick my phone, I will not be able to use ODIN.

Questions:

Has anyone encounter the same problem?

Is TWRP compatible with ODIN?

Can anyone using Samsung Skyrocket confirm the recovery steps used above is correct?

Thank you for your help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chinthekng:
i am currently using twrp and ive had no problems flashing roms including sky ics which those directions are from also a recovery isnt compatible with odin if you want to odin back to stock or flash anew recovery image you just go into download mode and procedd from there
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gmillz:
To reboot into recovery you hold power, volume up and down and when you see the first samsung logo let go of the power or it will keep rebooting.

As for being compatible with odin, I'm not sure what you mean. You can flash TWRP through odin, you can get into download mode with twrp installed also.

Have you tried reinstalling TWRP?

My Nexus 7 speakers were all good, until I turned the volume all the way max to watch the transformers. Once the movie was done, I left the device alone for half day, used it again and the speakers were blown. Getting exchange now.

Mine works great too, no problems, but it does seem to get quite hot, although it's 100F here in TX lately.. :D

Perhaps breaking in the speakers before pushing it for 2 hours at full volume would be a good idea. They should have warned us about that somewhere like in the quick start guide (which I literally threw away and didn't even look at sadly)..

*shrug*

edit: I pulled out the QSG and skimmed it right quick.. Kind of lame and of course nothing about speakers. Nothing useful really, in fact.. But I felt bad Google made that nice little pamphlet, so I had to open it for them.. :D

[Nexus 7 General] Evo_Shift:
I knew this would happen when Google picked asus. I had to return 3 transformer primes before getting a good one and that one developed a defect as well before i sold it. There is a reason asus can get their tablets so cheap and i think its because they allow way more defects through QC than they should banking on the fact a lot of people will accept minor issues.
[Nexus 7 General] Joezhang:
It means nothing - this place is a cluster and because we can't see the whole picture (we have no sales figures), we have no real idea about the QC of the device or how wide-spread problems are.
[Nexus 7 General] demandarin:
my Speaker sound fine. I've played at full volume for extended periods of time with no issue.

Google chose Asus because of tegra3 and Asus is the one leading the android tablet front this year so far. All top android tablets come from Asus and has tegra3.
[Nexus 7 General] Dr.Paul:
Well my speaker buzzes so much I cant hear a thing. And the screen is lifting on the left hand side. Google have no idea when they will send me a replacement. Not at all impressed.
[Nexus 7 General] haydonxda:
Well, if you two think it's just a few bad units generating complaints how about trying to reproduce the original poster's problem by putting volume on max and playing Transformers start to finish? If everything is fine afterwards we can all be happy! But if the speakers fail we have a design problem.

This is a testable issue. But I'm not going to push my luck testing it. :)
[Nexus 7 General] androidkid311:
Because there is a lot of bad things and returning it for a replacement isn't a quick process --_--. Has its good points don't get me wrong but seeing a lot of defective units.

My N7 was also perfect until the speaker got blown after about a month. I sent it in to ASUS and they sent me a new one a week later. Unfortunately it's still a C60 model but so far so good, but it has only been two days. So we'll see.
[Nexus 7 General] shortlived:
I'm running stock at full volume and have watched many movies with no problems. Some Roms come with a volume boost maybe that is the problem? Else at least they seem to replace units without much hassle. We shall see how all these new tablets play out.

It's as reasonable an indicator as is possible to get without forcing all N7 owners to register and vote.

The biggest issues with the N7 seem to involve the screen.

It doesn't look good for the QC department at Asus.

I'm on my 4th Nexus, and it is also faulty. The only one I had for more than a few days blew its speaker after I listened to some music.

Absolutely does. I have stock 4.0.3, Sense 3.6, rooted, and Google Now is working. I installed it yesterday afternoon. It actually viewed my Google Maps searches from earlier in the day (I was logged into my Google account while searching) and it started giving me traffic and weather for trips to those locations. It's still collating data, as it didn't give me weather and traffic to work this morning, but the instructions say that most functions take a few days, at least. I can already tell it's going to be an invaluable resource. :D (Screenshot is of the bus system around my building)

As a test of both the cards and the basic functionality, I decided to look up the distance from the Earth to the Sun. (The Astronomical Unit). I wanted to see how similar the search function is, and if it'll start giving me cards based upon my searches.

FYI: I wasn't able to just install the .apk file - I had to rename it like the instructions suggest.

Do you think it's worth this cost or should I look at going somewhere else in the UK?

Unlocked bootleader. S-ON. Hboot 1.27.0000. Firmware 3.32.531.14. CID TMOB010.

I was originally on T-mobile's ICS 4.0.4 with Sense 3.6. I backed this up and then flashed CM9 on my phone, successfully. Battery life was poor so I decided to go back to HTC Sense. Except when I tried to restore the backup, I got stuck in a bootloop on the "Stick Together" Screen. So I downloaded the a stock ICS build from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1654347, flashed it, still got stuck on the "Stick Together" Screen. Then I tried to use the Revolutionary ROM, I used Superwipe, flashed the ROM, same result. However, I can still flash any CM rom with no problem, it just seems that anything that has HTC Sense gets stuck in a bootloop. Help? Should I try the RUU next?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Hi,

Because you are S-ON your phone didnt restore the boot.img from stock. boot.img contains kernel and ramdisk. Kernel for AOSP/CM builds are different from sense builds so you need to manually flash a kernel.

To do this, download a sense rom and extract the boot.img from it, then use:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

command to flash it and it should be ok. Alternatively you can S-OFF then just reflash the ROM
[HTC Sensation] kevinni73:
Thanks!

Two things:

1. I pressed the Thanks button.

I have been tiring to look up how to root my Samsung SGH-I896 that is on Rogers in Canada but have haven't been able to find and think that matches my phone info. I will list my firmware and other info if some can point me in the right way that would be nice.

Model = SGH-I896

Build number = GINGERBREAD.UXKH2

Thanks
[Captivate General] Phlashaholic:
I have the same phone and believe me it's not as easy as it is for the us users. Rogers actually takes code off the phone so that it's harder to root or unlock. I had to factory reset and use an at&t software instead of Rogers. After that everything was easy. Use one click root or anything like it
[Captivate General] jonnyg1097:
I dont recall having any issues with rooting my phone back in the day. I recall being able to use superoneclick to get the job done on stock gingerbread.

Although if you are planning on installing a rom on your phone then root isnt required. Just flash CWM and then flash a rom. The roms come with root already installed on it.

See TRusselo's Guide. It is up to date.
[Captivate General] skomes:
I used Superoneclick with both Froyo and Gingerbread stock Rogers versions and it rooted just fine. Just need to follow the instructions.

I think for Froyo you had to do some really stupid stuff, like plug it in and take it back out 2-3 times but other than that it always worked great.

Worked so well I even made a donation to the developer.

If it hangs on you, I would suggest reading the thread to see if somebody developed a method that works. My Froyo image wouldn't root so I read the Rogers captivate thread and somebody posted telling me how to unplug and plug it back in, worked well.
[Captivate General] psre08:

In that recovery go to mounts and storage. Then select mount usb. Then u can copy from ur pc to ur phone.

Awesome, thanks. I've copied the zip files over and I'm trying to select the external SD to load them but it's not allowing me to do so... it seems I can only open folders on my phone's internal storage. Can I load the zip files from there or does it have to be from an external card?

Yep. Put it on the internal and flash from there.

[Captivate General] psre08:
I did the Slimbean 2.0 for I897

What about rebootin into recovery and re install the rom. Then let it boot. Then reboot into recovery and install gapps etc.

Don't forget to do the wiping and formatting per install instructions.

Maybe some things are best left untouched.. lol.. I WILL prevail!

Now I have the green robot in 3D with blue text underneath that reads "powered by Semaphore". Seems to be stuck there too.
