[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jrb7561:
I need some help and I was wondering if anyone here might have some ideas. I'm currently using Blend ICS FF18 v16.3. (fantastic ROM by the way). I'm currently experiencing a really annoying bug but I'm about 99% sure it's not ROM related because it first popped up on the last ROM I was using. I'm experiencing a bug where if I'm using the internet web surfing for more than a few minutes, I get the loss of signal circle and then the screen will flicker for a moment or two before the phone shuts off entirely. When I reboot the phone will now show 1-2% battery even if previously I was at a full charge. If I shut down again and plug in the charger for a few seconds and then reboot, the battery will be back to where it was before. Again this only happens when I'm using data such as browsing th web. Doesn't appear to occur during any other normal phone functions. Also, if I have the phone on the charger, the LOS bug doesn't seem to occur even if I'm using the internet.

Anyway, I've never had this issue before. It first popped up on the last ICS ROM I was using so I decided to try another ROM. I did a full wipe, and I also used Calks full format as well before flashing this ROM. Anyone come across this before or have any ideas? I know that LOS bug used to be notorious on this phone back in the day (I never suffered from it however) but I've never heard of a LOS and almost instant battery kill. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys iv been wanting to expirement with a few rooms but they require me to flash firmwares through flash tool. So I plug in my phone in flash mode (green led popped up) then a minute later it will say device disconnected and the kernel will reboot then it goes back into flashmode. Any fixes? I also have the correct drivers.
[Xperia Play General] Xcited android user:
When I use flashtool, I connect the phone by pressing the search button (blue led lights up) and everything works.

Sorry for my bad English. It's not my native language.
[Xperia Play General] jeffbud98:
No I'm talking about roms not kernels
[Xperia Play General] Xcited android user:
Yes, but you said, that you have to flash another ftf, don't you? And when i flash another firmware i connect my phone so.

You even can't flash a rom through flashtool.

Sorry for my bad English. It's not my native language.
[Xperia Play General] jeffbud98:
Yes u can I'm talking about the .58 Enhanced V2 u can't flash that in fastboot mode. You probably just use flash tool for kernels.
[Xperia Play General] Xcited android user:
Just start flashing without connected phone, then a description will pop up how to connect it, so it was for me when I flashed this firmware.

Sorry for my bad English. It's not my native language.
[Xperia Play General] lightningdude:
Are you using the newest version of FlashTool?
[Xperia Play General] jeffbud98:
Fixed it

I flashed clean rom, flashed the patch in bootloader, and restarted. It is stuck on the boot screen. I did a battery pull and booted into the bootloader, but it is not allowing me to select recovery so that i can wipe or flash again. How can i get back into amon ra?
[HTC Rezound] darkjedi7:
You will need to remove the PH98IMG file from your sd card and once back in recovery reflash but the patch needs to be flashed through recovery not bootloader.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Yeah, remove the PH98 from the sd and then wipe and re flash the rom, make sure you flash the boot img and old firmware patch. Use fastboot to flash the boot.img if you need to
[HTC Rezound] alphabets:
ok, i removed the PH98IMG file, i was able to then get into recovery and wipe/re-flash the rom, but then how am i supposed to flash the patch if i removed it form my sd? i'm sorry for the silly questions.
[HTC Rezound] darkjedi7:
You could download it again just don't rename it and flash from recovery.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Don't name the patch ph98 that's why it didn't boot. The installation of the rom copies the boot.img as a ph98img.zip to the sd, and if you already have a ph98img.zip it won't work. Also, make sure to boot the rom once before you flash the sd patch in recovery
[HTC Rezound] alphabets:
ok, so i deleted the PH98IMG file from the sd card. only files on the card were the rom and the GB patch. i booted into recovery, wiped, flashed the rom, flashed the GB patch which is required and rebooted. Now i'm stuck at the same point on the boot screen.
[HTC Rezound] darkjedi7:
You need to boot back into the bootloader so it can flash the PH98IMG which the rom created once that flashes you should be fine.
[HTC Rezound] alphabets:
when i flash the rom the PH98IMG file is not being copied to the sd card. it even says in the instructions of the rom to place the rom, the PH98IMG file, and the GB patch to the sd card. I am S-ON, if that matters in this case.
[HTC Rezound] darkjedi7:
Was there a download for the PH98IMG with the rom? If so you would need to download that and put it on your sd card. What version are you trying to install?
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Open the zip for the rom, and flash the boot.img in fastboot from your computer. Dude it's like you're not even reading my posts. If you would have done what I said your problem would be solved by now
[HTC Rezound] alphabets:
i finally got it to work, flashed viper rom, then booted to recovery, wiped, and flashed cleanrom. not sure why this worked, but it did. I can't thank you guy's enough for the help. I truly appreciate.
[HTC Rezound] alphabets:
i never flashed using fastboot, i thought you said i could do it through recovery.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
This is how you should have installed the rom

1. Place ROM and SD patch (old firmware patch) on SD Card

2. Reboot to recovery

3. Wipe

4. Install ROM and SD Patch

5. Reboot to hboot to install the PH98IMG.zip that was copied to your SD card during the installation.

6. If no PH98 file was copied, you would extract the boot.img from the ROM zip file and flash that in fastboot. It CANNOT be flashed in recovery on an S-ON device.

7. Reboot.

Like I said, if you had taken the time to read my post thoroughly you would have understands what I meant.

---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

But anyways you got your problem fixed so that doesn't matter anymore. Just remember to read instructions thoroughly :D
[HTC Rezound] alphabets:
well, i still don't understand completely tbh....the PH98IMG.zip has to be placed on the sd card prior to flashing the rom according to the dev's instructions. the problem is, when it is pre-placed onto the sd card, i cannot boot into recovery.

i'm back on viper rom. flashing cleanrom after viper still did not work. i thought it was because it got past the white htc screen the past time but was still stuck on the boot screen after all.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
No the ph98img is copied during installation
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
He said put the PH98IMG first because you're supposed to use "adb reboot recovery" so it doesn't prompt you to install the PH98.
[HTC Rezound] alphabets:
well now my mind is completely blown, bc when i first installed cleanrom i did it the exact way i described...and i don't see where it says adb recovery?

i'm by no means questioning anyone here, and i do read directions..i'm just really not understanding here. Ever since i came to htc i've been kinda lost. Things seemed so much easier on my D1 and DX, haha. i used to flash 5 roms a day to test them out on my X, everything on htc just seems a bit more technical.
[HTC Rezound] Insidious:
Its because the DX didn't have custom kernels. 2nd init was used to override Motorola's services. Thats why the dx and d2 got cyqnogenmod. The 2nd init allowed the devs to use aosp libs and such that complied with the pre- existing kernel values. The rezound's boot loader allows for the installation of kernels through hboot, but not recovery. (If your s-on at least). I reccomend you try incredikernel because it shows truly what the benefits of flashing custom kernels are. Hope I helped :3, I do agree that the rezound is a little harder to hack because I came from a Droid 2, but custom kernels are nice. Unfortunately I'm on the leaked ics ruu and there's no kernel source which means no custom ics kernels yet.
[HTC Rezound] topgun1953:
Sir, patience with the newcomer please.

Part of the problem is that you are telling him the ph98img file is extracted during the install. Well, according to the installation directions, it is NOT. The user is directed to download the ph98img file and the patch before hand.
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
When it says reboot to recovery you can't just reboot normally if you have PH98.

2 ways to get to recovery:

Use command line

adb reboot recovery

Or

If you are already on a custom ROM, there is probably a shortcut to go directly to recovery.

If you have PH98IMG on the sd card, you can't select recovery in the bootloader.

[HTC Rezound] topgun1953:
Alphabets,

The only issue you might be having is how you start the process. Do you do a battery pull to start a boot to recovery or do you boot directly from the rom? If you do a battery pull then yes, you will always get the bootloader first and not be able to follow the directions. EDIT: like the post above says.

Assuming you have a card reader on the computer.

Put the Rom and patch on the SD card. Boot to recovery and wipe stuff, then flash the rom and patch. Pull the battery, take out the card, put it in the computer, and place the ph98img.zip on it. Put it back in the phone, boot into bootloader, it should load and flash the file. When done reboot the phone into the rom.

Use a file manager program to rename the ph98img file or else it will attempt to load the next time you boot to bootloader.

This will work without you having to do fastboot/adb commands from your computer. Those were all good suggestions from Ashton but not sure you understood what he was telling you to do. You should however, begin to educate yourself to s-off and also to use fastboot....makes life easier.:D
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
If you don't want to deal with PH98IMG you can flash boot.img with fastboot.

Extract boot.img from the ZIP.

Navigate to that folder in command line.

Make sure your phone is in fastboot mode.

fastboot flash boot boot.img

This bypasses the need for PH98IMG.

i'm out of thanks for the day....i will get the rest tomorrow...i got cleanrom to boot. turns out i had to flash the kernel. from there i was able to restore my nandroid and i'm back to square one. I'm more knowledgeable now thanks to all the help posted in this thread. can't thank everyone enough.

not sure what i am going to flash next. i am also contemplatng S-OFF...i don't know if it is really necessary for me tho. still researching.

Viper is a nice rom, just not sure if i can get used to all the sense :p
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
just like i said :)
[HTC Rezound] alphabets:
i truly appreciate all the help man, i must be crackin up tho bc i don't see where you said kernel? either way, you guys helped me through this.
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
The PH98IMG.ZIP contains the kernel, which is the boot.img.

I guess he didn't state it directly, but he implied it.
[HTC Rezound] alphabets:
ah i see, but, yes, unless the word kernel was used it wen't right over my head.

and by kernel, i mean, i actually downloaded a zip from cleanroms thread that said "kernel", not boot.img.

i wiped, flashed the rom, flashed the firmware patch, pulled the battery, place the PH file on the sd, booted to bootloader, flashed the PH, pulled the battery, took the PH off, placed the kernel zip on the card, booted to recovery, flashed the zip which then automatically booted to bootloader, flashed the image, rebooted, worked.

if i did it any other way, i would get stuck in a bootloop. not sure if this is the "right" way, all i know is it is the way it worked.

from there i was able to restore my nandroid after the room was able to boot up finally.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
The boot.img is the kernel. Well really the boot.img contains the kernel, you can't just flash a kernel, you have to flash the whole boot.img, which is pretty well known as the kernel. Maybe you should spend some time reading up on the android terminology. Because some people would be really pissed at you right now. Just saying :)

---------- Post added at 01:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 PM ----------

This is what I said and I DID specifically mention the boot.img
[HTC Rezound] alphabets:
i think the fact that i am even on these boards say's I know a whole lot more than the average user. And "some people" are exactly who i do not want any help from. It's the people like you and the others in this thread that get others through complicated situations. People who get "pissed" need to re-evaulate their position in life because for every thing they are good at, I can name thousands of things they are not. That can be said for everyone. How would they like it if their mechanic said to them..."your transmission is shot and you are telling me that you didn't even take the time to learn if it could be the clutch, the flywheel, the modulator or the friction plates?!?!";) see, it works both ways.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Yeah I got ya
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I see both sides. Some are very helpful, some are helpful with snide comments, some just bash you.

But your analogy doesn't hold water because you pay your mechanic for that service. Everyone here is here because of an interest in android smartphones, not because they are getting paid.
[HTC Rezound] alphabets:
i can argue the whole donation thing, but I won't. I understand what you are saying. The 1 fact remains the same for both, you are going to that person/board for help. If the response I get from that is a bash for not being as technically conscious, then that is not the person I want my help from.

Because of the help i received i now know exactly what to do going forward and I now have a better technical vocabulary. Nobody bashed me, but they certainly helped me. can't understand why others would want it any other way:confused:

Is there any way to check if we have a bad emmc(?) Chip. I think there was an app for some of the phones. But what about us. I just kinda wanna know, in which case I'll flash the stock boot loader in case of the apocalypse.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
No, I had attempted to consolidate information to get an idea, but not enough is available to make an educated guess. There is an app for samsung devices for the hard brick bug, but that's a known range of devices with a known range of revisions provided by samsung. Its also not emmc failure, its a command that it accepts that it can't actually do, and bricks the device.

The ranges for our devices bricking don't seem limited to any generation or batch, they cover up to devices bought a couple of months ago. As a time line...mine was made 2/2012, and was purchased in march, and hasn't bricked. And it should have, a few times now. Devices purchased after mine have bricked, though I don't know if they were used, refurb, or built before or after mine. I haven't yet heard of a repairs unit bricking again, so I would imagine later revisions aren't as prone to the failure as older units. I come to this conclusion simply from the aspect that when they replace the motherboard, its likely a newer revision then the units that were assembled and sold. Refurbs may also possibly be this way, old bricked units that had a new motherboard replaced and then sold as refurbished units, and so may be less prone to the emmc failures.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] das_webos_transformer:
Thank you, mine was also purchased in that time frame and best buy only had 2 in stock, so mine is either a newer one or they never got newer ones. Either way, thank you for the feedback.

The title pretty much sums it up.

I love the dark gapps on my S2 and would like to see the same on the nexus 7.

Anyone know what goes into redesigning the gapps? I know the devs already got their work cut out for themselves, so I'm more curious than demanding... I just want me a black keyboard, gtalk and gmail!!!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incanitee:
I'm looking for a tablet to take notes on in college classes. I was wondering if the Nexus 7 would be a good choice, I assume stylus' work with it. I'm looking at either the Hand Stylus or the New Trent stylus. Are there any apps specifically for note taking and is the battery life enough to withstand a day of classes? Also, does it have syncing with computer and or phone? I use a Droid RAZR.

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aindow:
You could use Google drive, basically it's a cloud storage system which automatically syncs docs from your phone, tablet, laptop etc. It has a basic word processing function which would be good for using for taking notes. As for battery, you should be OK. I'm currently on 13% after 6.5 hours of screen on time which is made up of a mixture of playing games and browsing today.

Hope this helps,

Rik.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garryknight:
The battery lasts for about 8 hours of watching video so should easily be good for a whole day of classes. Any capacitative stylus will work but some have a really spongy tip that can make writing difficult; best get some recommendations on which one to get. You might find it quicker to use Swype which is quicker than just about every other keyboard.

For note taking, I would recommend Evernote. Install it on your tablet and phone, sign up for an account, and it will automatically sync between the two whenever you're online. And though it's cloud-based, it keeps a local copy of your notes.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incanitee:
Thank you both for your answers. Quick question; Does google Drive or Evernote allow for hand writing? That's the main purpose of the stylus, so I can actually write on the tablet, I prefer the feeling of a pen, but want the versatility of a tablet.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cornelious2:
freenote is the best handwriting app hands down. use evernote if you have a keyboard or want to use speech to text.

Sent from my mopho
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garryknight:
Evernote certainly doesn't and I'm pretty sure that Drive/Docs doesn't either. Note Everything lets you create what it calls a Paint Note that you can write on but it's only one screen in height.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kitten Mittens:
I have a USB on-the-go cable that I use with my Logitech K400, the keyboard is wireless over USB so the USB receiver plugs into the adapter and to the tablet. I wish they made the K400 with bluetooth but I can live with the dongle. To be honest, I find that the 7 inch form factor is actually a good size for the software keyboard because in portrait it's still easy to reach all the keys with your thumbs, though when I really need to take notes and be efficient I will use the full size keyboard.

Try the free version of Lecturenotes and see if that is what you are after?

Hum... freenote allows you to explore images doesn't it? Couldn't you take thenotes in freenote and then added to evernote?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1454:
Just my .02. Don't buy the 7 for notes. Capacitive pen writing sucks. Plain and simple, I've tried it and it is worthless. If you really want to hand write notes on your tablet, then get a flyer/evo view 4g/lenovo thinkpad/note 10.1. That's the only way to go, you need ntrig, or whatever the tech that Samsung uses is. I carry both my evo view and 7 to school. But I promise, as someone who has tried it, you will be disappointed if you don't get a tab with an active stylus for note taking.

Second, the best app I have found for note taking is Quill. With the integrated evernote in the view being a close second. Third, with Quill you can set it to auto sync with drop box or whatever your cloud storage of preference is.

Hello all, I'm new here. I got help from everyone in the Evo 3D Section of XDA for rooting my phone and while I'm here, I may as well contribute, right?

Right! So I've decided to do custom wallpapers for Members of this section (Evo 3D) For now, and if it turns out to be popular, I'll open it up to the entire forum, granted I can find a team to work with. A couple years ago I was GFx mod on some nooby PSP hacking forum. needless to say I picked up a lot of skill in what we like to call "sigs" that we put in the signature section that's show up with our posts. If you like my work, please donate! So without further ado, I present :

Nova's Custom Walls!

How it works:

1. Post below the following:

What character/car/celebrity/phone you want your wallpaper to be based on

Color preferences (If you have them)

Text you may want to include (Usually your name or something)

Any other specifics

2. I'll get to work. Right now it's summer so I have a lot of time so CWalls should be coming pretty fast.

3. I'll Edit the OP with your CWall in the "Gallery", and I'll also give you the option of receiving your CWall by email.

Below is an Example of a wallpapaer that I cooked up in like ten minutes.

Please note that the above wallpaper will look more high quality on your phone
