All was fine and dandy on PA 0.5

Then I got my phone out of my pocket and I see a stuck blue pixel, with a gray line on the right of it.

WTF?

Then I can see that the backlight seems not uniform anymore, the blacks are now washed out greys in the bottom of the screen when using some apps. But on the home screen the black are nice blacks.

Onto a movie - blacks are blocky, shades of grey are blocky, the colors are not as saturated as before...

So I reinstall PA... same thing.

I take the battery out for 5 minutes, same thing...

Bad thing is I moved from Spain to the US and I am not sure that I can invoke easily the warranty, even so it would take forever to send it and get it back.

So, what do you think, hardware issue? Maybe the graphic controller? Or the screen? Or a software issue?

Anybody has seen this before?

Here are some screenshots, 3 are taken with my Mac webcam and 1 with the native onboard "screenshot" feature.

When taken with the onboard screenshot, the colors seem ok, although there is a grey bar in the bottom and of course the stuck blue pixel doesn't appear.

When taken with an outside source, we can see that the colors are washed out and that the blue stuck pixel is there.

Yes, it looks like I need to have it serviced, bummer!!

I'll contact Samsung US and see if they can do something about it. And of course I left the original receipt back in Europe. I hope it's ok as the phone has been in the market for less than a year...

And in any case this means quite a while without my phone...

[Sony Tablet S] kerisbozu:
I've updated my Sony Tablet S through S.ony AiO tool v3.1 2 months ago to Android 4.0.3.

There was some bugs that i don't know why and how to fix, I've done the factory data reset several times but those bugs were not gone.

1. When I go to Youtube app and tap the search box, 1/3 screen flashes constantly, each 15 mins after getting out the home screen, and get in Youtube again, it's still like that but only in 5 seconds and then I watch normally.

2 . Sometimes, when I was in some apps, it automatically press the back button or home button on the screen when i do nothing and the app exits.

3. Sometimes, when i do somethings seems "heavy", it restarts.

Can I flash back to Honeycomb 3.2.1, if yes, how?

Thanks a lot!!
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
If you have root then yes. Also there is a new 4.0.3 known as release 1a. Be sure to preroot before install, if you want go maintain root.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CKal:
Hello - I am using Sony Xperia S. I have tried all kernels - Advanced Stock ICS Kernel, SSpeed Kernel and XSX Kernel, but I still haven't gotten the backup/restore function to work properly.

When I try to restore a backup made in CWM, it says md5sum mismatch (I haven't tried some md5sum generators/fixers yet).

When I try to restore a backup made with ONandroid, the md5sum is OK but nothing gets restored.

Help is extremely appreciated. Thank you.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tot_anusak:
Which version of Advance Stock Kernel you tried? Backup/restore in ics11 works great for me. Only problem I found is that Nandroid from ics4 can't be restore using ics5-11. This is there problem in ics4 or lower because md5 is still broken. It was fixed since ics5
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CKal:
Thanks for the reply.

Well, all this time I have been avoiding to do a factory reset - come on, I don't have a valid backup so I wouldn't dare wipe my phone.

From purchase to current state, I believe these are the steps I have taken.

Purchased

Updated (using PCC) to stock ICS 4.0.4 (HK version)

Unlocked bootloader using official generated Sony code

Flashed Advanced Stock ICS kernel (whatever the version was at that time)

Flashed MooDeD 90.5 Rom

Flashed XSX Kernel

Updated XSX Kernel

Flashed KASSpeed Kernel

Flashed KA10.2 Rom with KASSpeed Kernel v3

Throughout this entire time, ever since when I first flashed a custom kernel, the backup/restore function has never worked properly.

Is there anyway to fix this problem without full wipe? Or is there a way to make sure the validity of my backups (so I can full wipe and then restore my backup)?

Thanks for any help.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tot_anusak:
I've heard that backup/restore function in XSX Kernel didn't work properly. The creator of XSX posted the question here. Not sure whether he has got the solution and fixed the problem in the latest version.

I suggest you flash ics11.elf (the latest version of Advance Stock Kernel) and then try creating Nandroid backup. After that, reboot into recovery again and restore the backup (still with ics11). Let me/us know if it works or not. I suggest ics11 because I have used it to Nandroid backup/restore many times (more than 10 times) and I have never run into any issue with it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] realfelix:
try to flash the recovery on the stock kernel from Bin4ry:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1596285

else i could suggest, is that you format your sd card.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CKal:
Thanks for all your replies.

Yea - I saw the creator of XSX Kernel post the question too.

But here's the thing - I don't really understand how Backup/Restore in CWM works, but my bet was that it has nothing to do with the data partition. With me keep on flashing new kernels and new ROMs, I would think that both the boot and system partitions have been formatted/wiped and then flashed. Does that mean the Backup/Restore function has to do with something in the data or other partitions?

And by the way, is it a universal problem that everyone has with the error mounting /cache in recovery?

Anyway - I just flashed ics11.zip through CWM, did a reboot and then did a backup - md5sum mismatch when restoring.

Does it make a difference if I flash it through CWM or fastboot?

Update: None works. But it's late here and there are many more things I can try.

So far for me, Advanced Stock ICS Kernel 11 as well as Bin4ry Recovery resulted with md5sum mismatch when restoring.

Will meddle more with ONandroid when I get the time to - because when I backup with ONandroid, at least md5sum are all right.

Thank you all for now.

And Realfelix, thanks for your suggestion - I will try the recovery later maybe... and you do mean external memory when you say SD card, right?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tot_anusak:
Data partition is also backed up and (normal) restored. If you take a look at /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/..., you'll see data.ext4.tar. That's the backup of data partition.

About ics11.elf vs ics11.zip, as far as I know, elf contains ramdisk, zImage and rpm.bin while zip contains only zImage. If you flash zip, only zImage is updated. Something I don't know is whether CWM recovery is in ramdisk or zImage.

Any ideas?

just use tunnel bear

and the go to google music

get the music manager

upload some songs

and now turn off tunnel bear

once activated ur google music auccount will not be disable even if u login from original ip

i know this cause i stay in India where google music is disabled and i got it working this way for my account.

I'd like to know about this too. I have music both on my device and it's also uploaded to Google Play from my computer. Not having album art really bugs me for some reason. I live in the USA so I don't have to do anything weird with Google Play, it works fine.

EDIT: I figured it out. I went to my Google account and synced music/library. It shows the same albums but they have artwork note now.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mrobin1771:
I recently rooted my phone to the latest Siyah version. I noticed the capacitive buttons not working correctly and then I noticed the version I had was for I900. I went into cwm and installed the correct kernel for my phone but it did not fix the problem. I realized after that I didnt clear the cache. So I went into clockwork recovery and tried to fix that but I hit something to cause my phone to go to a black screen and had litle flashes every once in a while. I took out the battery and the galaxy screen with the triangle pops up but then goes to black. If I hit the power button it will show the battery charging button briefly but then goes away.

After all that. My question is can my phone be saved?

Thanks,

Mike
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Yes, almost certainly.

First, please confirm the model of your phone. Do you have SGH-I777?

You will need to boot into download mode, and install the stock Gingerbread firmware UCKH7 that the phone originally came with. From that point, you can update or modify the phone as you prefer.

From what you say, it sounds like you need to do a fair amount of reading of the sticky post items such as the faq and guides and elswhere in this forum to get a good foundation of information about the phone and how it works. Understanding makes it much safer to work with your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mrobin1771:
Yes

Yes. I have the I777. When I originally installed the kernel I downloaded it from the I777 section and it was supposed to be a 1 click thing till I realized those little issues of the I900.

I finally got into odin mode and it says its downloading. I can also now see it on my computer. Not sure what its downloading but its better than the black screen i was getting. Been on the downloading screen for 5 minutes or so. Just gonna leave it downloading till it does something or someone tells me something better to do :)

Thanks for your help!

***Update I downloaded the UCKH7 on to the phone and Odin(on the computer said successful) The phone is still stuck on Downloading... Do not turn off target. I didnt have the auto reboot selected on Odin. Should I try diusconnecting the phone and rebooting with the power button or just wait until it does it? been hung on it for 10 minutes even though the computer said it was done.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fakhri:
It showing downloading, but you open odin in compyuter to download. Are you downloaded stock rom like UCKH7 from here or here to flash via odin?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Go to the guide how to install custom binaries... which is linked in my signature. Read it untill you understand the basics. It will explain how to use Odin and download mode. Once you understand, flash the UCKH7 stock plus root package that is linked in the guide. This is assuming that you want root and to customize your phone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lvlark02:
if u follow the guide then u prolly have a rooted stock(assuming u used the rooted stock package) which Kies is not friendly with maybe due to having a non-stock kernel, also 2.3.4 is GINGERBEAD. Now if u plan to flash ICS ROM's i suggest forget bout Kies & go back to the guide & learn how to flash a kernel w/ CWM.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] WookieFan:
I am just posting to warn everyone away from getting this accessory.

Mine arrived promptly from Amazon in perfect condition, but my N7 would not accept touch input after correct application. I am not a newb with wet application screen protectors, and the one that came with my Dell Streak 7's Otterbox worked immediately after application. The instructions suggested a 12-24 hour curing period for full effectiveness, which is outrageous. Nothing like that was immediately evident in their Amazon page.

For $14-$20, this protector should have made my N7 levitate. I think I'll stick with dry application protectors from now on. Never had this kind of trouble with 5-for-$10 protectors.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] corvato:
I bought one of these a few days after my tablet. after letting dry 24 hrs, it works perfectly with no significant change to the sensitivty

the only complaint I have is I have a yoomee case that has a few clips that curve over the lip of the display, one of the upper clips caused it to warp a little (just under the tab) but its not signifcantly noticeable.

I also got the armorsuit and couldn't be happier with it. I was even able to reapply it to my replacement nexus 7 by simply peeling it off and following the install instructions again. Perhaps you received a defective item?

Only issue I've noticed with it is that if you keep something sharp on it and apply force, it dents the screen protector a bit.

I got mine and im happy with it, i couldnt touch it at first after application because it was still wet when everything dried up it was working fine.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] TidBit:
I got this and I really like it. Most people see my Nexus 7 and don't even realize there is a screen protector on it.
