[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] orfeo.one:
I tried to brick it without success yet.

Odin repartitioning gives this message:

"Can't open the specified file. (Line: 1876)"

and give a FAIL

Factory reset has not effect whatsoever, all stays the same. By the way, gives this message

Error mounting /sdcard/ .android_sercure!

Any other bricking methods/tips are welcome

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
try mount the sdcard, flash a tar file from another phone or a zip file from another phone like the i777, i know that it didnt write to the nand before but you never know. or learn how to use adb, maybe it can delete stuff, but i never used it so cant help u there.

u can also try to short out the usb port by touch wires inside the port as it may fry something up in the phone so it cant turn on

If you installed an app that seems chair than what it should be worth or from a random website, you could have a virus...first try uninstalling the culprit, if not, you may need to do a factory rest
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] orfeo.one:
I've gone through all that, factory reset, uninstalling apps etc..nothing works since after the auto reboot all changes appear to have no effect. I.e. new pictures taken are not stored after the reboot. I'm stuck with all settings and files of one particular time a week ago, that keeps on reappearing. As far as I understand this is a corrupt partition issue. But thanks for replying anyway..this issue doesn't seem to happen very often.

Hi all,

My OB has both camera.apk and arccamera.apk. what is the difference between the 2 and are they both needed.

TIA

Greg
[LG Optimus Black] theaks30:
both are important i think (but my camera works without "camera.apk")

arc one is actually the camera app

and the rest, someone who knows can tell :)

I got 3 questions, i looked arround and didn't find any answer

1) I know that CyanogenMod 7 wasn't fully ported yet, but is this rom avaiable in brazilian portuguese?

2) Can i choose the language of swype keyboard? I mean the rom is in english but i want to use swype in brazilian portuguese, is that possible?

3) Is it possible to somehow fully translate a custom rom?

He wants to know why all this "free" music is clogging up his own picked collection of songs. It's annoying and not asked for and it'd be great to be able to turn it off and remove them.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboya:
Google = ad company = "free" stuff you don't necessarily want. Although spare a thought for those out side the US, where Google music is not available to be annoyed by, other than by the fact of its absence.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] No_Nickname90:
Um...some of those songs are good. =.3

But those are the free music. Google usually ask me if I want to add more free songs. In Music.Google.Com (because I still can type it lyk that) you have the option to delete the songs. It may seems lyk an impractical method to do delete them one at a time, but it's the only thing I can think of.

I just make playlist, so they really don't bother me. LoL!!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ock:
You can delete the songs from Google Play Music from your desktop.

Btw, it supports Ctrl and Shift-clicking, so you can kill off all the free songs at once ;)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drpepe:
Google music is very easy to set up (in the UK). Once setup you can use it as in the US on all your devices (up to 10)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AraDreamer:
Yeah, and so long as this free crap doesn't contribute to our 20k limit, it's just digital clutter.

Making a playlist in the Google Music app is a breeze, just make a playlist. I just we had the option for making smart playlists in here like in iTunes (my smart playlists can't get uploaded either, and they're what I use most in iTunes).

I would like to know if there are any kernels compatible with the new cm10 build by teamchopsticks......?? Would the darkside venom 05 #7 would work on cm10????

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] onlychevys:
I believe that cm10 is based on cm9 kernal so it might. But it very well might not! lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MandoH:
cm9/cm10

CM9 is ICS.....and CM10 is JB..... so i'm not sure if it will work..... Anyone else got any ideas???:confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] VoiD_Dweller:
My idea is to wait until someone releases one that claims compatibility with JB ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sombionix:
You can use the same kernel throughout specific android versions and they will work fine. For example, you can use a CM9 kernel with ICS and all ICS revisions. However, a CM9 (ICS) kernel will not work with CM10 (JB). Even in the event it DOES boot, you're going to run into a lot of issues. Either way, even if you decide to try, as long as the kernel is specific for your device, worse case scenario is that you soft brick and have to ODIN.

[HTC Desire S] skim0322:
Hey. This may be a stupid question. But does project butter affect just the launcher, or does it also affect apps that use Hardware acceleration, such as 3d games. As in, do games run smoother on jellybean roms?
[HTC Desire S] AlwaysDroid:
It affects everything. the whole visual experience though vsync, triple buffering etc. For example, I use a Samsung galaxy s on cm10. I find that temple run as smooth as cm9 and this isnt a fully optimized build, even though everything works. So by the time we get to jb RC's or even later nightlies, it will blow cm9 away. Even without /datadata

So, to answer the question, yes it makes games smoother and affects everything, not just the launcher.
[HTC Desire S] skim0322:
Thanks for the kind and thorough answer. Makes the wait for kernel source worse... Wishing for the best

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thienthancongtu:
Everything is working in my kingdroid v3.0

but when i install chainfire it asks for installation of driver

and could not write to /system

i used root explorer and everything else but the /system r/o cant be changed to

its stuck at R/W and i cannot copy or do whatever ...

i try to set permissions but it says read-only .... how can i change this into R/O mode????????
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chousuke:
So, I somehow managed to brick my phone using factory reset on CM9, and subsequently flashed back a stock firmware with Heimdall. Version was LPO (Nordic). However, something went wrong, as no matter what I did (several resets, dalvik wipes with cwm, permissions), the status bar would not appear. Not good for usability.

When flashing, I skipped the modem, boot.bin, the .sbl file and param.lfs. Just to be safe.

I'm currently back on CM9 nightly. Works perfectly.

I'd like to flash a clean stock ROM so I can take a nandroid backup of it (one without cf-root, now that I know how to get temporary cwm); is there something obvious I did wrong? Could I for example format /system prior to flashing to remove any trace of CM9. Would that even help? I'm on Linux, so I can't use Odin or Kies.

--
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
well a full wipe is recomended prior to flashing a stock rom, hence do the same then flash a stock rom using heimdall and see:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chousuke:
I'd thought that a factory reset is a full wipe, but I guess I was mistaken. I'll Google a bit more about it and perhaps then try formatting the system partition as well later today.

--
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chousuke:
Still not working

Hm. So I tried flashing stock again after formatting /system (LPG version this time, since LPO was pulled by Samsung) and now my phone is stuck in the "S" screen. (A bootloop, I guess? I'm not sure of the terminology). I can get into stock recovery and even CWM (it's on the external SD) but no amount of factory resets or dalvik wipes do anything. Should I have wiped something else as well?

Flashing seemingly went successfully, but this time the stock rom won't even boot :/ What could cause that? I skipped the bootloaders and modem & params.lfs again but those should be safe to leave out, right? (I've never touched them when flashing, only kernels and the filesystem images)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chousuke:
Update: Was able to install LPO, but the glitch is still present, even after reformatting /system. :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
try LPW and see:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chousuke:
I tried LPQ (I wanted Nordic) and it works. Can't update OTA though. I guess it's the newest version that my operator has, then? BRB backing this one up...:good:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chousuke:
Status update: gained access to Odin and successfully flashed LPG/NEE. Now on true stock firmware; no idea why Heimdall failed. Might be the firmware was corrupted.

Ever since I put a new rom (Ice Cold Sandwich 8.4) onto the DHD it started to give a hissing feedback through the earpiece when talking on the phone. Does anybody have an idea how to fix this, or if it's actually a hardware fault?

More information will be given if requested to the best that I'm able.

Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohit1234:
If you have had this issue only after installing this new ROM, then its not a hardware issue. You can try wiping your phone and reflashing the ROM. If that still does not work, try wiping flashing another more stable ROM such as one of the GB ROMs.

[Nokia Lumia 800] ekw:
Just letting you guys know that this phone can survive being fully submerged under hot soup for atleast 5 seconds.

Backstory:

So, I was trying to watch a youtube video ergonomically over lunch in landscape mode. Hitting the volume key with my left hand made the phone slip and fall into my soup. I was in disbelief and took me about 5 seconds to take it out. Phone was still working, I powered it off and took it home to dry for a few hours.

It seemed to manage to turn itself on when I came back to check on it (Probably accidentally powered it back on when i was putting it in rice).

And it still works! I decided to take it apart anyway to clean the internals and remove the condensation on the internal camera lense cover; it was pretty dry inside. I faced a few hiccups taking it apart; Due to the rubbing alcohol I used, the screen came off of its harness and I had to superglue it back on) and I managed to nicked the case trying to pry things out.

I decided to test how much liquid the cavities would allow. For the headphone jack the way the water traversed (from pouring rubbing alcohol into the jack) It flows to the side and into the back panel barely touching the shielded chipsets. The other cavities are pretty well sealed and those areas were dry with no salty residue except for the cavity covers.

All in all, my lumia 800 lived to see another day :victory:

[Asus Transformer TF700] Cleanskinned:
I noticed this today when watching some mkv files through BS Player and MX Player. When playing a movie, I hear a beeping or sqeaking sound every couple of seconds while the video is being played. The interfering sound remains present when I turn the volume all the way down to zero. It sounds like a quiet "beep......beep.....beeeeep...........beep...beep...........beep......beeeep.......beep." and goes on continuously until I pause the video. Is anyone else experiencing this?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Cleanskinned:
Ok, so I've tried multiple headphones and earbuds with the same results. Anyone else hear some squeaking / beeping background noises, even with the volume down to vibrate? It is quite distracting...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Keion:
Yeah, but I ignore it. My animu is turned up loud so I barely notice it.

[Asus Transformer TF700] SurferLTU:

[Asus Transformer TF700] Cleanskinned:
I turned off both Wifi and Bluetooth; the problem still exists. I can still clearly hear the electronic squeals at normal listening levels that are moderately loud. One of the reasons I purchased the Infinity was to use as a portable entertainment device including movie watching. I hope this is something that is fixable or I will need to return the tablet. It is a shame because other than this highly distracting interference, the audio sounds great.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jelo:
Hello, I'm having the same problem, it's a more or less static noise/hum from the hardware. I have two great inear-headphones. Triple.Fi 10 and Westone 4. It's especially audible on on my tripple.fi which are very sensitive. I get none of this interference from my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 or my iPhone 4.

I bought my TF700T in Sweden and have installed the latest update V.9.4.5.26

The thing is, if I pause my movie or music the noise goes away after a little while, It's quite obvious the system is shutting off the output when there is noting playing. I even tried this without headphones connected, putting my ear next to the speaker on the back, pausing my music/movie and I can clearly hear noise then after awhile it goes silent, the same as with the headphones.

Is there anyone else with this problem?

Is this common for Android and or ASUS/Transformer devices? Is there anything that can be done or should I return it and by another tablet instead?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ralganaziel:
Just to mention I'm having the same problem. And I'm fairly convinced that it is linked with microSD because when I watch stuff from internal memory there is no issue but when Iwatch movies or listen to musicfrom the SD, it does this beep.

And I won't even try to contact ASUS about this because I'm fairly sure they'll just deny the issue and tell me my 4 pairs of earbud all have the same flaw... which is starting to make me sick.

I hope this is software and gets fixed anytime soon. (BTW, I think it appeared with firmware .26 so it should go away)
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Actually, I can almost *guarantee* that Asus support will tell you to do a factory reset - that is their solution to everything! :) Personally, I haven't used my headphone jack yet - I'll find some earbuds and report my findings though.

EDIT: Tested my headphone jack and didn't hear *any* interference at all - tried listening to music, playing games, watching videos - all sounded fine to me... I am using the Volume+ app to boost both the speaker and headphone volume, but that shouldn't matter...
[Asus Transformer TF700] jelo:
Isn't there more people that can here the static hum with sensitive earphones and when listening with your ear on the back side speaker?
[Asus Transformer TF700] HoushaSen:
It is microsd

Very timely topic (at least for me) as I just noticed it today.

But as someone above mentioned it is related to microsd. I have ran exactly the same video off of microsd and then copied it locally off the tablet. The beep sound every 30secs-1minute completely went away. I have never noticed this with video streamed off online. So my conclusion is indeed due to video running from microsd. Though it is of uncertain why the case as microsd card slot seemed good distant away.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ILA970JOSH:
I'm having the same issue while watching MKV's and AVI's from microSD Slot, I haven't tried from internal yet, but it's very annoying to say the least, I first had the prime, returned it and bought the Infinity because of hardware issues. Now this, Jeeeez

Would the type of memory card used cause something like this or just the hardware of the tablet microcard reader? I'm using an older 8gig card that came with my phone from 2yr ago. I don't hear this coming from my bt headset. Just the wired ones.
