[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narsimdamha:
have you tried to off your device, take off battery for couple minute reinsert battery tried to on your device. should be ok:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aggallim:
Tried that, no luck, still there.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narsimdamha:
your device is rooted or unrooted?? if unrooted better send to service centre dude:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aggallim:
It appeared after the 4.0.4 update.

I'm un-rooted. Unfortunately I bought the phone without service contract.

Its not harming anything, its just very annoying, also I think its slowing down the host screen rotation animation to make it jerky.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tefanym:
Full wipe

do a full wipe and see if it presists

( full wipe = wipe cache+dalvik cache+data/factory reset )

if it presists , then flash any custom rom from the android developing forum
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvda:
I have the same issue - I sent the phone in for repairs (it was totally dead, not turning on or even charging) and got it back like this. The OS was upgraded from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 during the repair. The phone has never been rooted by me, and is a Galaxy S2 on Vodafone in the UK (via Carphone Warehouse).

I tried a "Factory data reset" via the "Settings" > "Back up and reset" menu and it came back the same. So I figure either they are using some custom firmware used for diagnostics in the workshop, or they have put the phone into some kind of diagnostic mode during the repair process and have not un-done it.

Anyone have a solution?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amalji:
Face the same issue on Galaxy Note

Hello,

I'm also facing the same issue on Galaxy Note.

Happened after a power down ( when the battery drained completely )

From the next reboot on, I'm facing the same issue.

Problems from a user perspective.

1) Irritating dark rectangular box with junk info.

2) Swiping in home screen became very jittery

3) When we press the power button for a couple of seconds, it straight away turns off instead of showing the different options.

Attaching the snapshots.

That's factory mode on, it sometimes happen after flashing a new stock firmware/ custom ROM.

Flashing the firmware/ROM again usually fix the problem or just disabling factory mode.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] aznflawless:
So my friend rooted his galaxy note, and wants to install an AOKP ROM. But when we go into recovery mod in CWM, we wipes, and finds the ROM, but the ROM get aborted. He tried a different ROM, and samething.

He said he went to ROM Manager, and did the flash CWM recovery, and chose Samsung Epic touch 4g, because in Odin it said Epictouch 4g, and he couldnt find the Galaxy Note i7i7. We later used Goomanager, downloaded a ROM in the Browse Compatible ROMs, and tried to flash, we went into cwm recovery, wiped, flashed to ROM, and was aborted agian. Any ideas what to do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Go into recovery with buttons not Rom Manager?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] aznflawless:
We did. hold power, and volume up. right? If so we tried that, wiped info, flashed, and it was aborted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
Well first you flashed for the wrong device. Our Note is supported now. I personally don't use cwm, but if you do it again through rom manger make sure you pick the Note. That's probably the issue. And its volume up and down and power.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] aznflawless:
Oh well i dont have a Note. I dont even know this guy in RL, my device the Galaxy Player 5.0 i use power, and up to get into CWM.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] submachine0:
Hi guys. So the only thing I've done to my i747 is root it. I've tried both of the USB host apps in the market (USB Host Controller and StickMount) as well as the "SGS3-Easy-UMS" apk that's around, v1.2beta2 and v1.3beta. Can't attach any USB devices. All my flash drives are FAT32 and work well normally. I even ran the USB Host Diagnostics app and it confirmed that Android API, Rooted API, and Kernel "claim support" but no device is detected.

When I connect to sync, I can only do MTP transfers. This is why I looked into that EasyUMS apk because it apparently also allows to mount the phone on the PC as a USB Mass Storage device. During my search I see numerous people connecting flash drives, controllers, keyboards, and even a USB HDD to their sgs3's.

Because that apk requires busybox, and I have busybox, everything looked OK. However, I did once get an error from that APK about possible non-existant Kernel support. USB Host Diags disagree, as do many video tutorials.

Basically I'd like to know whether or not this is supposed to be working, and if not, then how do I go about making it work? I'd like to mount flash drives for easier use with Linux, and would like to mount the phone as UMS for the same reason. I would also like to use a USB Keyboard as well as a USB gamepad. Am I missing something? Are they all using the international? :confused:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
Are you using a USB OTG cable?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] submachine0:
got this one, a couple good reviews confirmed that it works with input devices: Amazon product# B005GI2VMG

i mean it's very possible that the seller just buys from random manufacturers without changing the listing. this one that i have is like the cheapest thing on the market so that may be the problem. i wouldn't mind trying a different one for <$5 w/ US shipping if that exists (recommendations?).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mcnulty1:
Same cable didn't work for me

I bought the same cable, but from a different seller. Amazon ID number B005N55WHI

And I have the same problem. Tried using it with several input devices and with several different roms and I couldn't make it work. Could it be a power issue? Does the USB device that it is being hooked up to have to be powered? I tried it with mice, keyboards, and flash drives, but all of those devices take their power from the bus, not an external source.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] submachine0:
glad you posted. hmm. since we both have the same thing and they're both not working, i'm suspecting it's indeed the cable.

i read on a review of a different cable on Amazon where the guy cut open the connector and found no wire connected to one of the pins. i've had thinner-cable wires before that charged/transferred slower than others or didn't work at all on some higher-end devices, could really just be a cheap-out on the manufacturer's end.

i think i'd like to get a different cable. if anyone can recommend an inexpensive one that's confirmed working i'd appreciate it. so i don't have to shoot in the dark.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
I got the one with Amazon ID B00871Q5PI and it worked for me. I tried a Dell USB keyboard, a USB mouse, and a USB DAC and they all worked. All take power from the bus.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vvelvetelvis:
got this one.... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005GI2VMG/ref=pe_175190_21431760_M2T1_ST1_3p_dp_1

would it make a difference if it says its for the galaxy s2 and not the s3? im guessing thats why i cant get it to work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] NZtechfreak:
No, would not make a difference. USB OTG is a standard and for now all devices that have USB OTG work with all USB OTG cables. I've used a cheapass one from Ebay with my S2/Note/S3 for more than a year now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] submachine0:
solved for me

so i got the one drothenberger got (actually that particular link was out of stock for the seller so i got the other suggested one that looks exactly the same, title OTG for SGS3 - item# B00871Q5PI) and i'm in business!!!

someone replied to my negative review of the other one i got in the comments and they said theirs worked. i think they just have different products under the same label or lots of defective ones. i'd recommend to just get the ones that specifically say OTG for SGS3 - the extra dollar or whatever is worth it to save the trouble.

thanks again to everyone for the troubleshooting, hope this topic helps others resolve their issues. :D
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] wlyt:
Hi all,

Is it me or what. My 7 inch mediapad always have only ard 400k of ram even after just boot up. I used task manager widget to kill as many programs as possible but later some programs will auto run and use up memory until 300k left. Then some programs like PvZ which takes quite a lot of ram may not even start when in low memory. I noticed it can start when there is nearly 500K of ram. But if lesser then will start and then hang or never even start.

My tablet is only loaded with a few programs like pulse PvZ, sgnews, allbackup from huawei and kuaishou.

I flashed with latest official 301u firmware and it is the same with H.WMOD firmware on B005

Thanks

Is this common of mediapad or Android? My ipad is fine with many programs opening and not even slow down noticeably.

Any tips?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] shiranmotha:
Are you sure that you r talking 300kB? Cos I have about 300MB free atleast all the time.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] wlyt:
Sorry. I meant 300 mb.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] rurou:
I haven't tried PvZ, but all the games that I have tried never ran into memory issue. As of now, my free memory is 350MB.

Some heavy games that I have tried are ShadowGun, Dead Trigger, Modern Combat 3, Asphalt 6, Dead Space. My guess is the problem lies in the app itself. I can't see the game (PvZ) from my pad, but I can see it from my phone, so maybe it just not compatible?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dweeze87:
Part two is in the updater which is in the apps I believe after you flash the rom. I think it finishes theming GTalk and some other small things?

Correct. Almost to the letter of Blue K. ROM's OP. Dont feel bad alot of plp have asked the same question. They just didn't start a whole thread for it..lol..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mark.J.Linskiy:
The Part 2 is located in the ROM Updater>Put things back to stock>Part 2.

This just finishes up theming the Gtalk, which for some reason doesn't stick when flashes the full ROM. It has been this way since beta testing the ROM upon release.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eyecon82:
this is what happened from a 2 foot drop on to concrete. The car is a bmw 3 series so it's not even that high up...had it on his lap and got out with it still on his lap..fell to the ground

only protection was the flip cover, which obviously didn't help and you can see his cover tucked behind in the picture

Tonight mine was on top of a toolbox and my dad opened it not thinking... took a flight to the floor. Not a scratch. Lucky me!!! I took have the flip cover. About a 5ft drop.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] darkflame:
Pebble blue....lightning edition.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mikalhernandez:
I used to drop my Epic 4G all the time from at least four to five feet, often directly onto the screen itself and it shook it off every time. No screen cracks, barely a scratch, and no internal damage. That damn phone was bullet proof, brick proof, and thanks to the CM team, future proof. I don't think we'll see another phone like it again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] princessakiki:
I agree I use to drop my epic touch sometimes but it never cracked. I had a close call with my S3, had my phone in my lap at the doctors office when I stood up my phone fell straight into my purse. I didn't even hear it. I thanked God.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Vincent Vegas:
You said it. Over my two years with it I must have dropped it a dozen times. It was never the worse for wear.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 powered by Blazer ROM 1.6.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] baillou2:
I've dropped my vibrant many a time. Several times on concrete face down and barely a scratch. I hope your incident is a freak occurrence. It's hard to imagine it cracking so easily with the cover and all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] .Bambino:
That sucks for him. At least he had insurance. This is why I got me a otterbox. There is a video where they did a test between the GS3 and the iPhone and the iPhone won as far as dropping it etc. But its a thin phone. So not much protection. Just like above glass is going to break. Glad he had insurance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JohnM:
Yeah, the great thing about insurance is that you don't need a case/protection which makes the phone bulky and look ugly.

If it's worth 10$/mo is up to you. Personally, I think it is since I end up breaking my phone and getting it replaced at least once every few months. And that was with my old phone which was EXTREMELY durable.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
Ya I did this at least 5 times with my old Evo lol I really try to be carefull now. THat phone took a beating, doubt this one will.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bckoolaid:
The glass on the SIII is thinner than the old epic and even the evo, couple that with the larger overall screen size and it makes for an easily cracked piece of glass. I have tried taking the glass of a couple at work to change from white to blue because I dont like the trim color on the blue and it cracks every time. the screen itself is even glued to the glass.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
The gs2 had way more durability.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] coogrrr94:
Insurance...$11/month plus $150 deductible right? It's basically like buying another phone, better than not having insurance and having to pay $600 or whatever the retail without a contract costs. I have a very cool looking Rearth Ringke case on my phone right now (more looks than protection) but have an Otterbox Defender on back order right now for peace of mind.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JohnM:
I actually buy it from bestbuy so I can get their $10/mo geeksquad protection. There's also no deductible.

Personally, I think any case is ugly and ruins the phone. I'm also a sucker for phones being thin (makes it look sexier) and cases make them fat. A lot of people will probably disagree with me, but that's my own personal opinion.

That said, if bestbuy adds a deductible that's more than $100, I'd probably stop using insurance and put a case on it even if it means I have to sacrifice looks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eyecon82:
im with you on that....i cringe everytime i see beautiful sexy phones covered by monstrosities such as otter box, etc
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freecharlesmanson:
Hate to inform you but the glass between almost all ofthem is pretty close to identical and I broke a epic 4g lapping it once maybe 18 inch drop. ....this is why you get a screen protector that's good the the softness of the plastic will work to buffer the small pin point impacts that crack the screen....I have already dropped this phone like 3 times 3ft + it's doing fine
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] master acehole:
Before he turned it in to insurance did he try to turn it off and back on?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lviv73:
You mfckn right,that phone is bulletproof.My girl threw it against the wall,down the stairs and at my head a few times and not a scratch!I dropped it on concrete and not a scratch.

Good that you mentioned cm for it,i gave my Epic to her and just put cm7 RC2 on it today and it flies.Probably the best phone i ever owned.

My Epic Touch is nice too and survived a toilet swim.I think that Sprint always had best Galaxy variants but not this time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eyecon82:
Lolololol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lviv73:
My son threw mine in the toilet.I took it apart,dried it out and it still worked flawlessly except the power button.I can turn the phone on with power button but after the phone is on the power button stops working-which rendered the phone almost useless,almost.

This what i did with it.Light switch works as the power button.Im kinda glad that it happened because now its easier to put him to sleep,lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] advancedbasic:
When I had an iPhone 4 (which I just recently sold for a GS3 which I'm getting in about a week), I used this really basic rubber/plastic non-sticky gel case. It somehow protected my iPhone from getting even a scratch after multiple 3-4 foot drops, and was actually the cheapest case I could buy when I got the phone around its launch date.

I ordered a similar case for my GS3 in hopes that it will do the same (although I know I'm going to have to be super careful about dropping my phone regardless).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DroidBabe:
Im thinking about getting insurance now...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Keylala:
Wow that is terrible. Hope he doesn't have the sprint insurance cause they're not going to cover it. I purchased the best buy insurance exactly for that event. maybe he should think about getting a gel cover. i've dropped mine a few times now and its still in one piece. good luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] coogrrr94:
that's a good deal then, I couldn't get mine through best buy unfortunately because they don't do business accounts anymore. After I get my otter box I'll probably drop the Sprint insurance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Leetlock:
I had my GSIII less than 24 hrs and put in on my leather seat in truck. Didn't buy a case from Sprint because they had crap when it came out, so it was nice and shiny and slippery....slid of my seat, hit floor board, bounced out on to the concrete and shattered the screen...:(

Luckily i had insurance and since it was so no new i got a brand new one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eyecon82:
awe man! how high up was the drop?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eyecon82:
why wouldn't sprint insurance cove that? of course they would
