Hi,

My phone stopped working after installing an app that might have contained some malicious code. I cannot get the phone into recover mode as when I boot up pressing the down or up volume button I cannot select anything.

When I connect to my computer using USB, I can use the fastbook command from the Android development kit, and reboot the phone normally. When I do this, all I can see on the screen is HTC is big writing. I can never access the SD card directly either.

During a normal boot, the phone says it cannot find a few files and hangs in the boot menu, one of these files is pc49img.zip. I have found version of this file and copied them onto my SD card (using another computer) yet this does nothing. The phone just hangs when "parsing pc49img.zip".

Anytime I boot, either with fastboot or with the pressing volume down and power, I can never use the volume keys to select options. But, these buttons are working because I can use volume down to boot into the hboot menu.

Here is a list of the output from "fastboot getvar all"

(bootloader) version: 0.5

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jODOk:
Hi, I have a problem with the stock browser on my Galaxy S3 not starting properly after the device has been in standby mode.

I can start the browser if it is not running, and everything works ok. If I press the home button, then leave the phone with the browser running in the background it will not load any pages afterwards. When I try to start the browser it just hangs with a white screen and the progressbar stuck at a few percent. Then the browser will disappear. I try again and the same happens. The third time it works perfectly again. (It never hangs more than 2 times)

Does anyone know what causes this problem? I haven't been able to find any reports of this problem from anyone else.

Thanks

hello mates.

I know there are already some threads about tethering (i know, i used "search" before creating new thread)

My problem is this:

i flashed a lot of roms found in the developers section. miui, cm7 and oxygen, actually i think i have tested them all, doing the 3 wipes EVERY TIME...(god bless titanium backup)

I never got wifi tethering to work properly not with native feature nor with any app on the market.

with pc 1/5 could make the tethering

with ics tablet and SE x10mini i got endless connect-reconnect making internet unusable and sometimes i could not even find u8800 in the list of available networks.

I tried sharing 3g with SE neo v and everything went ok perfectly stable connection.

So my question is: has anyone, in ANY rom, got the wifi-tethering to work properly?

Thanx

Can you check your wifi mac please, it may be nulled.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] anexitilos:
Mac is ok, never updated to .35 kernel. I am sure that it is somehow prolly drivers problem on 8800 because if I share from other phones to my tablet connection is fast and stable

Could it been .32 problem?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] entrapmen:
Ive used miui for a long time and i was using barnacle. If i were you i would install 2.2 again and try the native one and barnacle.

If it wont work backup your imei and update to 5xx (.35) and try to tether. Anyhow you can go back abytime youll want.

I mostly row and jog, and I've found the armband makes me unbalanced because of the extra weight on one arm. Have any of y'all found an alternative to this? I would really like to listen to music through my phone, but if I can't find some alternative to an armband, I might just get one of those small clip-on iPod Nanos.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Kostazu:
Thinking about getting a Samsung HS3000 bluetooth headphone adapter for the treadmill/wearing shorts. (thread here someplace about it.)

Ipod nano or a Sansa clip might be a more reasonable solution though.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] dmanlee:
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of armbands, especially w/ a phone the size of the GSIII, it would be quite cumbersome.

I've used a Tune Belt sport belt forever while working out @ the gym & running. I originally bought it for a minidisc player like 6-7 years ago but also used it for my iPod 5G & my current Nexus S in a tpu case. It's still in great shape today, no rips/tears or anything. The fact that I still use it today speaks to its durability & quality. I'm getting the GSIII soon tho & so I'll probably have to upgrade my tune belt as well, luckily they have one for large phones now.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] ronin4740:
Bluetooth headset and a plastic baggie do the trick for me. The phone goes into a pocket in my shorts and the headset lets me ff, rw, stop and play the music. Sandwich bags keep moisture from getting into the phone.

Low tech but it works.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Taehee.:
I just don't like the phone moving around in my pocket while exercising. If it were a treadmill, I could just set the phone in the cupholder and use the clip-on Bluetooth headset people have been recommending, but I need something that will prevent the phone from moving while on my body.

This is interesting. A belt for your phone? I'll try to find one that fits the S III.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dagrim1:
I actually started running last week and an armband works pretty fine... Before that I had a belt kinda thing but it still bounces too much and is quite annoying, an armband is pretty well fixed and when tied around the upperarm,you hardly feel it's there.

But appearantly for you it is, hmmm... Belt would be worth a try then, it's more centered I guess. Perhaps mine just didn't fit properly.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kboyington:
Belt Clip the way to go.

I hate the armband thing. When you flex you bicep it tightens up too much.

When I had a iPhone I used the Mareware Sportshell and loved it! It had both armband and belt clip. I only ever used the belt clip. I CANNOT find anything else like it so far for the S3.

This is the site for the SportShell: New user so I can't post it but just Google it.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephengc:
Just got my TF300T, but I'm slightly frustrated by the fact that I have to change the default keyboard to ASUS when I use the dock.

After a bit of googling, I found this solution http://stevenixon.blogspot.co.uk/2011/08/howto-change-your-asus-eee-pad.html.

Whilst I get the general gist of what needs to be done, it's not something I've got any experience of. Please can someone advise me in more detail how I actually do this?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
I cant help you on that front but i can tell you that pressing Ctrl and Shift allows you to select input method. It's a handy tip i think. Figured it out by accident.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephengc:
Well, a friend who knows linux helped me to replace the files, but it looks like the instructions in the link were probably for a different model, as there are no asusec files. There are asusdec files, but replacing these didn't solve the problem, and actually caused the lock key to make the tablet sleep!

I've looked at the various files, and none seem to match the gb keychars or keylayout files, so unless anyone else has any idea how to make this work I'm stuck.

Thanks for the Ctrl + Shift hint, but this doesn't seem to be working properly for me. It did work once, seemingly at random, but that's it.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
Strange, it works fine for me everytime.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdes:
Strange, it does not work for me (TF300T-1A160: AZERTY keyboard), and it is very annoying: I usualy use the beta Swype software keyboard, and when I dock the physical keyboard, I have to change the default keyboard via "Settings > Language and Keyboard" :(
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
Surely, before you type, next to the time (on the left) you can see the keyboard? you can just click that and change it.

Thanks a lot for the screen. copies.

Now I can see the small keyboard icon... but only when the cursor is in an input field! I am very happy with this turnaround.

But the Ctrl+Shift does not display the choice you have.

Another"Thanks you" your reply :)

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] medialinx:
It doesn't appear to be fixed in 4.1.1 for me. I am using CleanROM and unless I use the Asus soft keyboard (which I dislike) the dock thinks it is American. Only when I select the Asus soft keyboard are the keys correct. I have tried changing the Android language (as I select the Android keyboard by default) but this does not work.

Does anyone else know of a fix for the TF300 to use the dock layout as standard when using another soft keyboard?

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CtrlAltDelIrl:
I can answer that no problem..

Yes - Sony Ericsson make some of the best phones (hardware wise)..

Their phones are slightly thicker allowing for proper solder which means that the wireless and sim signal never die.. These are the major issues faced by iphone and galaxy users.. Their solder has no lead (virtually none) so once it overheats it will crack and short circuit parts in the phones.

Software updates are not always a good thing either.. Remember the rules of software updates..

1) "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

2) Make a backup before applying any updates.

[HTC Wildfire S] Roland_Y:
Hi,

I've just successfully installed Rom RobotoMod and I got it working.Thanks to devs for their impressive work.

I chose CM9 when installing, and for SD management, I chose Bulent Apkinar's Link2SD.

Besides, I have to say that i run RobotoMod installation through ClockWorkMod 6.0.0.7

I have a 16-Gb microSD card. I also partitionned it using the ClockWorkMod recovery features. Now I have a Ext3 ( 2 Gb) + Linux Swap (256 Mb) + Fat32 Data Partition (~13 Gb).

After launching and configurating everything, I ran link2sd, and it successfully detected the Ext3 partition, and created the mounting scripts.

I chose AutoLink in the features, then I went in my explorer (ES Explorer) and installed some Apks.

When I came back in Link2SD to see the memory usage, I noticed something : Though it seems Apk data goes to the Ext3 partition, some files (I suspect them to be the dex files) remains in the internal memory. Even if they don't weight that much (1 ~7 Mb) compared to the Apk Data themselves, it causes the internal memory to decrease slightly.

My point is, does Link2SD really behave this way ? Isn't there a way to move everything to the Ext3 partition ?

Sorry If my question sees to be silly, I just wanted to ask.

And sorry for the english mistakes, I am french.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Wildfire S] finance.resat:
Link2sd uses a little memory in internal memory. No need to ne afraid.

Open link2sd. Select user applications from the funnel icon. Then click menu, then select the ones u want to move to ext. Then click create link. Tik link application file, link dalvic cache files and link library files. Press ok.

It's pretty basic stuff.
[HTC Wildfire S] omnomnomkimiiee:
Link2sd a l'inconvenient, en general, de ne pas "prevenir" le telephone qu'il a deplacé les fichiers d'une application.

Je te conseillerais plutot d'utiliser un script App2SD, ou tout simplement S2E (Play Store)

-----------

"You can overclock as much as you want, your phone will always seem too slow."
[HTC Wildfire S] Roland_Y:
Well, Thanks (Merci)

J'essaierai aussi App2SD et Simple2Ext, probablement.

Mais qu'entends tu par " ne pas prévenir le téléphone" ? Parce que lorsque j'installe une application, Link2SD me notifie que l'app a été liée à a SD, via la barre de notifications, justement.

Thanks for the tip, but I already did that.

Fact is, I installed Link2SD first. Then I turned on the Auto-link feature.

Then I started installing all the others applications.

Well , lemme show you through pics (sorry they are in French, but I'll explain).

First of all, here is the current state of my SD Card (37 user-apps installed, all linked)

Then, using a file explorer, I run two heavy apks. (Angry Birds and Angry Birds Space, for instance)

Back to Link2SD, you can see that those file seems to be linked do the SD card

Here are the details for one of the previously installed Apk

Now, here is the Info storage screen, just after installing those two Apps. It seems they were installed in Internal memory...Strange, huh ?

But, one interesting thing. If i reboot the phone, back to the info storage screen of Link2SD, I got something direct:

Well, my conclusion is that files are properly linked, but the system takes it into account only after restarting the phone.

Weird...

Any thoughts ?
[HTC Wildfire S] phishphinger:
This is perfectly normal behaviour for Link2SD. It fools the phone into thinking the apps are installed on the internal memory. It is rather like a shortcut in Windows-speak.
[HTC Wildfire S] finance.resat:
Yeah thats true, I once post about this problem. But no one replied anyways, it gives me low memory notification everytime.

So I switched to data2sd again. But Link2sd is faster than data2sd. U dont need to restart, just click menu->multiselect->selectall->actions->createlink->tik all->Ok. It will relink and re calculate free memory.

As tigger suggested I also think the auto link feature should be disabled. Its faster.

See my screenshots.

before & after createlink

and by the way cm9 is not good at games and video play back, also consumes lots of battery and no fm radio. and I cant live a day without radio.:(

So, here's the thing. I have a friend living in the US who is coming over to India in about 10 days.

I figured out how to access the US Play Store [using a proxy that spoofs an US IP].

Are there any other steps I need to take so that the order goes through ?

If anyone has placed an order or has any experience doing such stuff, I would really appreciate you input.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hashibahoohaa:
Can your "friend" not buy it for you using his credit card and you pay him out later? He can pick it up at any retail store stocking N7.

Most CC cards need the billing address to be specified on the file, I suspect transaction with your own CC will be denied.

Besides, have you been reading the forums yet? All the 12-13 manufacturing defects this tablet has?

What will you do if you get a lemon? :)

Nah, I couldn't ask him to pay for it.

Hi there,

I'm a reseller in other country. My customers want to buy google nexus so much that I have to find a way to order it from play store.

I will ship the items to a cargo service in US and then export them to my country.

In the purchase step, I added my international VISA card with billing address is the cargo service address and the shipping address is the same. I did it well and ordered about 200 items last month. However prior last three days, google immediately canceled my all orders if I place new order. I don't know whether google implement their policy about using the US-credit card payment policy more strictly.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexjx:
You can use your CC, with the REAL billing address. Although from what I've learned, it is possible that your account might be suspended.

But DON'T PANIC.... If it does, write to customer service and provide your ID and CC scans to prove you are not fraud...

There are cases here in China that passed through.

Good luck.
