I had few servers installed trying to stream to ps3 since ics cant mount to ps3 any more but i uninstalled them all.

And the phone been rebooted too,i dont know why its still there and taking 25 percent of battery.

I just did cwm restore of clean Blazer backup i had,im charging tje phone now to calibrate the battery,hopefully it will be gone when i boot the phone,if not then its a GS3 thing because my GS1 and GS2 dont have that service draining the battery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lviv73:
Media Server is still there and i have no media servers running, is it part of android? I have ics on my Epic Touch and it does not have that service running.

I cant be the only one having this "problem", im on clean installed Blazer 1.6.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JohnM:
I had the same problem as you. Tried wipes, new ROM installs, was a no-go. Phone would always be hot and media server was usually ~50%. I reformatted my SDcard and it worked! Turned out there was some rogue file that kept the media scanner running.

Now screen takes up a good 80% with everything else staying in 1-10% range.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lviv73:
Thanx a lot man,im gonna give it a try.

Update:It worked i deleted a few folder off the sdcard,rebooted and its gone!Thanx again,now i dont have to Odin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lviv73:
Damn its still there but its not eating up the battery like it was,here is another screenshot.Can anyone confirm that this service supposed to be always running?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JohnM:
Yeah, 1-10% is normal for mediaserver.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LasherHN:
I was having this issue yesterday after some searching I found that there might be some (corrupted) media files causing the Media Server to loop.

In my case I deleted some m4a files I had and now it seems back to normal. Right now I only have mp3 and ogg music files. I'm been playing music for about 25 minutes now and the phone is not as hot as it was yesterday when I was trying to play music.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lviv73:
Do you still have Media Server process running but its not using battery like it was or irs not running at all?

Mine is still running but only uses 2 percent of the battery now instead of 25%.

You dont have to delete files but put .nomedia file in the folder that your media files are at and it wont scan that folder.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] frankie_p:
.nomedia

I have the same issue of media server killing my battery even after exiting all media players. If I use .nomedia where the music is, how will the media players be able to find the music or play it?

I accidentally flashed an international ROM onto my Sprint Galaxy S3, didn't realize it, rebooted from recovery. Now it doesn't do anything. If I pull the battery and plug directly to USB, I get an amber light and that's it. Currently I don't have a jig and can't afford to get it flashed at a shop until next friday.

My main question is whether this is something that I could fix with a jig, or something that I would need to take to the local shop? I don't know of any other fixes, but I'm no expert on bricked phones either.

So i just returned my TF201 to best buy (so many issues :()

and theyve stuck me with a 500$ best buy gift card and im looking to buy the N7 tablet and best buy doesnt have it yet:good:

So now im wondering what is my best option, wait it out for best buy to possibly never get the n7 in the US, or sell the gift card on ebay for a slightly lower price and buy the n7 from google, or some other option i dont even know about.

please and thanks for the help.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] just lou:
Why did BB stick you with a gift card? Were you past 30 days?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExploreMN:
You could try calling their corporate customer service number and see if they plan to get it. I wouldn't sell the card on eBay. Not only would you lose money on reducing the price, but their fees have gotten stupid (just sold a phone for $150 and was charged a $15 fee). Maybe try Craigslist. Then you at least get cash in hand. If you lived in MN I would buy your card. I shop at Best Buy often anyway. LOL

Anyway...that's my advice.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fifasarajevo:
yeah i was over on the 30 days sadly

im not a huge fan of craigslist, ebay seems a lot more secure so ill probably just take the fees for the security of it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExploreMN:
More secure than cash? I mean you would meet them in public for sure...probably at a BB store so they can verify the amount on the card.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fifasarajevo:
yeah that'd be smart i suppose, ill probably do that, thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerdfacenyan:
My friend and I ran through selling gift cards we acquired for various reasons, and nothing beats http://www.cardpool.com/ in terms of cash return. According to their website, they'll pay you $440 for a $500 gift card.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngocdao:
...that is a horrible turnover rate
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo_Shift:
Can you afford to hold onto the gift card? Your best bet is to buy the nexus and hold onto the card for future use. I don't think they expire.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianpee:
Well in Canada, our Best Buys have models on display but none in stock, so I'm sure they'll have it just later.

Why don't you buy $500 worth of Amazon Gift card? I am sure Amazon will sell the N7 soon.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fifasarajevo:

but either way i used cardpool that the previous user mentioned and theyre gonna send me a check for it in a couple of days so im all set

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ncgator17:
All,

I am a noob. I admit it. I have checked the threads and the Q&A but haven't been able to decipher a workable answer to my problem, so please forgive me if I'm repeating a past problem.

I successfully rooted my i777 (ICS) phone using Heimdall and my Mac terminal following steps found at galaxys2root.com. I downloaded ClockworkMod Manager and tried to back up my current, stock MOD before attempting to flash a different one. That's when the phone never came out of the backup. I can still get into download mode and have tried flashing the file originally used to root, but to no avail. I have tried taking the battery out, still will not boot up. Is there a way to flash a new ROM with Heimdall? And if so (not knowing exactly how to use Heimdall) how to do that? As a noob, I understand that there will be eyerolling at this post, but I could really use some help to recover my phone.

Thank you.

SOLVED: Thanks to XDA and this website wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II_%28AT%26T%29:_Full_Update_Guide) for getting me out of a jam and teaching me how to untar a file!! love to learn new things!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MotoMudder77:
Go figure. :p

Start over with files located on these forums. then afterwards, you may ask questions.

yes you can flash with heimdall, there are guides.

ih guys i bought a nuxus s for at&t on ebay, the phone is in good condition and the phone has jelly bean

on it so i was really happy to buy the phone what the seller didn't say is that the phone is rooted and jelly bean on the

phone is a rom and not a stock ota and now what im worried about is that jelly bean on this phone is kinda buggy and i

don't know if that's just the rom or if this how stock jellybean is? And with the rom i have will i get updates from Google in the

future or i'm i stuck with what i have, what should i do? any help is appreciated!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronophase1:
Kernel looks like the stock one. Have you tried a factory reset yet? If you're still unsure, you can get the stock images from here

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Decompress and take out the images you need and flash via fast boot. Its hard to type it all via phone, but a quick search will help you with everything you need.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattrc77:
OK i have tgz file do i deconpress it on the my phone or computer and do i do this through boot loader or rom manager, sorry rookie here.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronophase1:
I just hopped on my PC, so I'll do my best to help. Any veterans feel free to correct me, please :). Make sure if you set anything up, back it up via recovery and then wipe the phone :

1. Need to do this via the PC(assuming you have ADB and android SDK)

2. Open the tgz file.

3. Remove the boot.img, bootloader.img, radio.img, system.img and recovery.img. He probably has the current bootloader, but I would flash it just to be sure.

4. Reboot into the bootloader(vol up+power button)

5. Open up cmd prompt and get to adb. Ensure your device is recognized by typing fastboot devices

6. Once you're squared away with that, type fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

7. Fastboot flash boot boot.img

8. Fastboot flash system system.img

9. Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

10.Fastboot flash radio radio.img

I don't know if there is any particular order those need to be flashed, but once you're done, reboot the phone, set it up, and enjoy.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AtomicPC:

Are you completely stock? Your battery will run down very fast if you have a lot of background processes running. I am on a stock droid rzr .211(not maxx) with a lot of bloat frozen in the settings menu using default ics app control.It took me 14 hours to get to 50% yesterday with ~1hour+ of spent talk time.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] greeky510:
Razr Maxx running stock rooted ICS .215 i get better battery life now compared to HC. When 4G is on its killing my battery in about 16 hours. If i just have 3g on all the time i get 30 hours easy with pretty much same usage. I have the maxx since the day it came out and im still amazed by the battery life.

I'm also happy that i have a heater for the winter. 4g on generates so much heat that one would think that there is a dedicated heating element in there to keep the phone working in sub-zero temperatures.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bwheelies:
Crazy because mine may get warm if I am tethering while charging and sitting on the bed. Never has been hot. I run 4g only.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScruffMcG:
Hey all,

I installed CM10 Helly Bean (DerTeufel) port for Captivate V10 with full wipe.

It seemed to be working fine... fooled around a bit, tried out Google Now, etc.

Was restoring apps (not data) w/ Titanium Backup.. forget if it had finished or not...

Didn't try to run any of these programs or anything, just tried to unlock and the touchscreen was not responsive... Tried wiping cache+dalvik + fixing permissions... tried reinstalling ROM and GAPPS...

All are in a non-responsive bootloop.

I'm starting over now with another factory wipe... as of now it is stuck on "Welcome" Screen and touchscreen is not responding... AND.. it just restarted :(

Any ideas as to the problem... Was it Titanium Backup related? Should I resist running that again (assuming this ever works)?

I would post this on Development thread but I still don't have my 10 posts, heh, mostly a long-time lurker...

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScruffMcG:
Worse than I thought!

So It's worse than I thought... I gave up and re-flashed slim (ICS)... and the same problem still exists... boots up, looks normal, can't touch anything.... eventually it reboots.... :(

Suggestions?

Would ODIN flash do anything different? I9000 bootloaders?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScruffMcG:
sorry I'm just going to post twice so I can post to development...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScruffMcG:
yeah... 10char
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] takeoutttt:
What I can suggest is, go back to GB. Download a one click Odin w/ bootloaders, you can search that in the dev forum. After that flash it with a corn kernel so you can have a working CWM. And then Go to recovery, have a full wipe (data,cache,dalvik) TWICE and flash this--

I can recommend you that one because it's the one the I'm currently using right now and I can say that it's working like a charm.

The method above is the one I'm using everytime I flash a ROM. I always do a full wipe so I won't be encountering any issues or whatsoever.

About TiBu, I am not sure if that's where the issue coming from because I've been using TiBu for a long time and haven't encountered that. Just always remember, if you are using backup using TiBu, just backup the User Apps+Data, DO NOT INCLUDE THE SYSTEM APP. Goodluck!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScruffMcG:
So you think w/bootloaders will help?

I have flashed every odin w/o bootloaders that I have access too and all get me stuck at ATT bootscreen....

Little hesitant to reflash my bootloaders since I was/am already on GB bootloaders, but if it might help I may have to do it...

I actually was on that JB version (but with the normal gapps b/c I wanted google now...)... now I'm on no version of anything :( hahah
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SunnyOK:
I met a problem. I do not know wether or not it is common. The phone will reboot by itself sometimes.

Do you have the same problem?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrayc1970:
same here

seems as though many of the problems experienced by one are shared by the other

this is logical as they share many common points including the same partition and both jellybean derivations

I was having issues... accelerometer and audio issues.

All came out right as rain after flashing back to stock and reflashing

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kidtuf:
Hi all,

I recently discovered that my phone is not maintaining the network connection once I end a call. Whenever I end a call I can visibly watch the bars deplete. I set a numeric indicator for signal strength and I watch it go from -85 while on a call to -113. The bars at this point are completely gone and any calls made to my device go straight to voicemail.

One quirk is that I am able to reconnect, and maintain the connection with the network simply by triggering and subsequently disabling airplane mode. This of course only works until the next call has been completed, wherein the signal strength dies again.

I should mention I am running cm9 which was flashed using cmw. I've heard about the same thing happening with stock nexus devices, but was curious if anyone else has had similar experiences?

Thanks for any and all insights,
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kidtuf:
Well now this is a little strange, but I've found a way to stop the signal from being lost. All I have to do is restrict my device to 2g networks. This would normally be unacceptable, but I don't actually have a data plan as I'm a wifi only guy.

My imei was wiped when I flashed cwm using Odin, so I wonder if this may have something to do with the issue. Maybe others with borked imeis experience something similar...

I'd still like to see what others may think on the matter despite the work around.

Hey everyone!

Some of you may know me, or of my work (RobotoMOD, ParanoidAndroid Port), those of you who do know me may also know me by my actual name: Ivan. I don't mind which you call me :p

More to the point of the thread, I'm making this for anyone who has any questions or comments about anything, it doesn't have to be dev related - it could be a question about Android in general, or if there are apps out there that can do something you want your phone to do, or it could just be that you want to chat.

Whatever it is, post it here. If you feel your thread in the Q&A section isn't getting the attention it requires, I will do my best to answer it to the best of my ability, and in plain, simple English for those who have English as a second language. If it's chatting you're after, or just want to leave a comment, do so! And I'll be sure to make conversation and make new friends with the people I share the same device with.

I generally check the forums every 20-30 minutes when I'm on my computer, and every couple of hours when I'm on my phone - except for when I'm really busy and can't check, so you can be (almost) sure that you'll receive a reply to your post within a day.

[HTC Wildfire S] dudeman1996:

[HTC Wildfire S] thebasuke:
I see cm7 and cm9 which is pure aosp, but they say the marvelc isn't getting much love, or isn't as stable as the gsm version
[HTC Wildfire S] dudeman1996:
I think you're a bit confused. CM7 and CM9 aren't pure AOSP. AOSP is Android Open Source Project - that's vanilla Android as Google makes it. CM (CyanogenMod) is a custom ROM that's based on AOSP, adding features and other things. There's CM9 for marvelc, in the same thread as for marvel, and to my knowledge it's pretty stable, but since the dev has a marvel and not a marvelc, he can't test out bugs. I'm not sure about CM7 though.

CM7.2 RC1-marvel-KANG - Wireless N function not available?

Hi,

This is a repost, but I haven't had a response so I thought I'd ask you, seeing as you have made such a kind offer of assistance. I would have asked in the Development section, but I don't have enough posts yet to ask there.

I have a Wildfire S (a510b GSM Australian Telstra base phone) on which I have installed the CM7.2 RC1-marvel-KANG ROM.

I do not appear to be able to see any Wireless N WIFI connections, I think it is a radio issue and that I might need to flash a new radio. However I do not know anything about radio firmware or where to get the correct radio for my phone to allow WIFI N?

What would I need to do to get wireless N working on CM7, it worked on the the stock HTC Sense before I flashed the CM7 ROM?

Many thanks for your help!
