What animation(i have never used toolkit pro) i have a couple i can send for you to try and see if its something to do with toolkit
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bgduece22:
I tried loading the bios bootanimation, and it did not work, I tried loading it through recovery it did not work.

I tried loading the chicago bears splash screen from the themes & apps through recovery it failed... I am confused.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dased14:
What does it do when you flash the bootanimation(blackscreen,default silver Android text, or do you get an error message in recovery. Is your recovery up to date?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bgduece22:
It actually goes through the process on the splash screen install, and says that it was a success, but when I boot, I still have the HTC screen

Have you tried another one maybe bad dl
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bgduece22:
Same thing..I have Team Win Recovery Project v2.2.1 Recovery, and it goes through the process of installing the splash screen, but I still have the HTC screen
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wileout:
The reason the ones from toolbox fail is because they flash to the wrong system folder so it wont work and for the boot anis that dude made them for a windows app he created to flash them only the ones that say flashable zip as a link that are recovery flashable

[HTC Sensation] Lucky Thirteen:
Just try this it could do the trick : Remove the battery then hold Power button for a minute or so, reinstall battery and Power like usual. You should also untick this option : Menu-> Settings-> Power-> untick Fastboot. This will allow the phone to completely reboot the phone instead of a hot reboot.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] michael*:
I am trying to use Google Voice Search for voice dialing. But if I say "Call Home" (**edit - home is an entry in my Contacts) it will search the internet and give me choices to call Home Depot, etc. Is there a way to use (and limit) Google Voice Search to my contacts? In fact, my contacts don't seem to be involved in the search at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] michael*:
What am I missing - Google Voice Search is used for dialing contacts isn't it? If so, I can't be the only one to have noticed this. If not - I won't be offended at being told it is a dumb question...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SuperKerp:
Do the other features of google search work such as Navigate to "insert address" ? But yeah I think it is supposed to be able to call out if I remember correctly. Is it picking up the keyword of Call ? have you tried going through your other contacts to see if it dials those correctly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] michael*:
Looks like the issue is that it only looks to the Google Contacts not Phone Contacts (all the tests I made were Phone Contacts only)

I have a couple of contacts that are Phone only - I added them again as Google Contacts, then joined them with the original Phone record. Now it works (at least as well as it can). Sure do wish I could specify to search contacts only - wouldn't be so hard...

Thanks for your response - it got me digging a bit deeper.

I can't seem to deodex the rom I'm trying to get up and working. I keep getting a error

" The program can't start because mgwz.dll is missing from your computer.. "

Although, I understand that, I still have a problem. I can't get the Framework.jar to deodex right.

I'm using a Deodexer program found here:

Do you get any errors in baksmali?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
Are you trying to deodex in windows? Linux is much easier- I recommend ubuntu! http://www.ubuntu.com/

I have a homebrewed script that seems to work- and took just over 3 mins to run.

Use at your own risk!! I didn't look at the link to the tool you posted and I don't know a thing about this rom, but I tested my script against your rom anyway. Everything I learned about deodexing is from the internet. For entertainment purposes only. If you brick your device, it's your own fault.

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?o5na6x5is7db2jk

check to make sure you are using the right version of baksmali/smali, api level is 10, and you have the right boot class path. Bluetooth needs javax.obex.odex in the boot class path.

Edit- v2 added framework-res.apk Also note that the zip only contains the files that had odex files. apps or frameworks without an odex files are not included. For example, GexinService.apk or DSPManager.apk seem to be deodexed already.

I don't know how apktool deodexes- you might want to comb through the bat/shell files to see what it does. Then you can figure out how it calls baksmali/smali.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stormbeta:
I got my Gnex a couple weeks ago, and installed JB as soon as I got it. I'm currently running one of the unofficial CM10 builds, but near as I can tell this happens on all ROMs I've used (all JB).

Basically, using wifi drains the battery at a drastically higher rate than using the HSPA+ (3G) network, especially while idle. What's more, this extra drain is not reflected in the battery statistics, where wifi is never even listed.

For example, if I leave my phone unplugged overnight with wifi on, nearly half the battery will have drained by morning. If I turn wifi off, and just leave the mobile data on, only around 10% of the battery will have drained.

The wifi works just fine, and actually gets better range than any of my other devices, it's just that the battery seems to drain unreasonably fast with it on.

Is anyone else experiencing this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Speio:
Is data being transmitted constantly?

If it is occurring with various ROMs, perhaps there is an (or multiple) application(s) syncing only over wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PROlific666:
I leave my WiFi on over night and have never notice a severe drain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
Its not your WiFi its an app or improper configuration somewhere. Our WiFi goes in to a very low power state when idle. Search for betterbatterystats and use it to check for wake locks - this should tell you exactly what's happening.
[Acer Iconia A500] Webspirit:
Hello!

I was about to unroot and get back to stock with my A500 so I flashed a stock ROM via CWM to get a ota-update. Before i had a custom ICS ROM installed and now I installed a HC stock ROM. The problem is that i forgot to go through the wipe menu in CWM before the flash and now when I start up my tablet I first see the ACER logo as usual, then a android text-logo which the tablet is stuck at. I've waited 20 minutes and is still shows the same thing. The logo has an animation which i still can see. I've tried to restart the tablet and get into CWM again without succes.

I have read diffrent threads for several hours but I can't find my problem. What should I do? :confused: :crying:
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
what does the android text say?
[Acer Iconia A500] JdgM3NT4L:
Hi dibb_nz.

It is the bootanimation from what I gather (Video; http://s1142.photobucket.com/albums/n602/JdgM3NT4L/?action=view&current=AndroidBootanimation.mp4). I am trying to help someone get a tab up that is doing the same thing as well. The weird part is that recovery is good, bootloader passed (V8), wiped data/cache/system. Tried three ICS roms so far, and every one is stuck at the bootanimation. About to go bonkers trying to figure it out. The only thing that I can think of to try next is changing CWM from Thors to TWRP or something...

To Webspirit, your problem will most likely get fixed by using blackthund3rs APX Tool. Google it and then goto the forum where it is. There's plenty of support for getting that going and you shouldn't have any problems. If you do holler. Alot of us have had to use that tool and can help. I am hopeful that yours will be as simple as downloading and installing recovery back and flashing a nice rom.

J...have u used nvflash or apxflash to roll back - theres a few folks getting stuck with it...its loading the HC apx driver which aint working with the ics bl so then yr tab gets stuck in apx!!!

Sorry, I do feel bad for your Auntie's situation, but this is against the rules.

Thread closed.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] v3rn:
I have both the Kraken and the Defender. Wanted to find the best all around protective case. Here's my quick thoughts.

I like the style of the Kraken a bit more than the Defender. I think the Defender flows more with the phone, but it's kinda boring, even with the more extreme colors out there. They're both basically the same size.

The buttons on the Kraken are 100 times better than the Defender. The Defender buttons are mushy and take more effort to push. The Kraken buttons are very clicky, although they rattle a bit.

Pulling the notification tray down on the Kraken is more difficult than the Defender because of how far down the case comes. But the home button is much easier than the Defender because the lip is more pronounced on the Defender, so it's a bit of a trade off.

The belt clip on the Defender is a bit easier to use, but after getting used to the Kraken it's really not that bad. I also don't like how the Defender belt clip is black and doesn't really look good with the Glacier color case in it. The holster should have been gray to match. The Kraken belt clip is sturdy as long as you clip it properly. It takes a bit to get used to making sure it's secured, but once it won't go anywhere once it is.

They both protect the phone great. The Defender comes with a built in screen protector, but I much prefer a normal applied one. The screen protector on the Defender feels a lot worse, and if I kept it I would rip it out. The Defender case feels like it would put up with a lot of punishment. The Kraken has the potential to break if dropped, but protect the phone. Because the Kraken has the plastic on the outside, I feel like it could break if dropped from a decent height. But the Defender would absorb the impact because of the silicone on the outside. But because the Kraken has silicone on the inside, I feel like there is much less chance of the case itself scratching the phone which is sometimes a problem with hard shell cases that go directly on the phone.

Overall, I like both cases. The Kraken fits my style more and I prefer the polycarbonate to be on the outside, instead of the inside. Plus I can buy new Perseus cases for the Kraken and change the colors up whenever I want. The buttons are also a big deal to me, they are much better on the Kraken. I'll probably test them both out for a few days each the next week and make a final decision. But for now, I think I'm returning the Defender.

If you guys have any questions, let me know and I'll try to answer them.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] polesp:
Thank you for the comparison, I myself am looking for a rugged case but unfortunately nothing atm seems to be good enough. I agree that the defender looks really boring. That is why I am currently trying to get Griffin Technology to make a survivor military case for the galaxy s3, I think with enough support we could do it and i am pretty sure a lot of people would like it.

I just got the defender. Do you also have a screen protector on your phone as well as the one on the defender? I have one on it and white screens have a rainbow effect. Not sure how it would be with no screen protector because I don't want to take it off if it doesn't help.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scitech09:
Thanks for the comparison. I debated between these two, but went with the Otterbox in the end. It looks more professional for my line of work. Plus, I heard complaints about the Kraken case rattling with music. I guess from the buttons. I am very happy with the Otterbox. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 04:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 AM ----------

The rainbow effect you see is from the matte screen protector on the Otterbox. I also have an SGP Nano screen protector on and use it with the Otterbox Defender. This works great. I thought about removing the built in screen protector, but I have come to appreciate the fingerprint resistant quality of the matte screen protector. I now prefer it.

I ended up taking it off. The effect is produced was really annoying when viewing white pages such as the xda app.
