I have the commuter series otterbox and love it. It looks like it could offer great protection from" drops". It has a rubber sleeve that then gets covers with a hard outer shell. My only concern is my phone gets warm sometimes and maybe the case will keep it from cooling down as quick.

This is updated in the new ota but can only be flashed via OTA or ruu

Flashing a custom. ROM won't update it

How important is this partition and what does it do.
[LG Nitro HD] Deleted member 3908501:
This has been a problem for months. Gingerbread and ICS (leak). Bluetooth headset or headphones. It seems to be triggered (usually, but not always) when something wakes the screen up, usually a text, but sometimes when I turn it on manually. The common denominator here is music playback. I use poweramp.

The attached logcats are two instances in which I caught the reboot in the act. In other words, I had my P930 connected to my PC, streaming music to my bluetooth headset, with 'adb logcat -v long >out.log' running when the reboot happened. So the last entries in these logs are the last thing to make it out alive before the crash. Would you guys/gals be willing to glance at these and give me your thoughts on what might be causing the reboots? Thanks...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carled:
Sorry to ask the same question again, but I can't find a direct comparison with my issue on here (not that I can recognise anyway, I realise it's probably my lack of knowledge however!)

So, just installed ICS. I chose to have both apps and cache on sd when installing. I have only installed a few apps and already I'm "low on space". I noticed the space drop significantly when I restored my sms messages so maybe that's the problem, but don't understand why the messages aren't being stored on the sdcard as requested. I have previously set up an ext partition (ext3 I think, but I'm not sure how to check).

I'm hoping this is just a setting I'm missing as it seems insane to be out of space so quickly.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamaniek:
Which ROM are u using? You probably didn't activate a2sd script. Run the terminal and type:

1. su

2. a2sd install

3. (Y)es to moving Dalvik cache to sd-ext

4. (N)o to moving app-data to sd-ext

5. (Y) to reboot

And also I suggest you to create ext4 partiton instead of ext3.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hans moleman:
Delete your sms again and download quick system info pro and note down ext free space from the first screen. Install another app from play store and check your free space again - if it goes down your a2sd works.

If that is working ok you might just have to limit the number of sms you keep. What HBoot are you on? Maybe that's why you don't have much space for messages.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgarlick:
I'm on Nikez JB with a2sd (yny) and I still have low memory warnings. I have 29 apps installed and I think there's something wrong with a2sd. Is anybody experiencing similar problem?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hans moleman:
Have you partitioned your sd card correctly?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
check nikez JB thread and click the link to his site, there is a command for TE there to check if a2sd worked, cant remember what it is.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgarlick:
I've checked that in TE, I'm assuming that a2sd works:

i47.tinypic.com/xfyrnm.png

What's bugging me is that when I'm going to Manage Applications I've screen where on start I see how many free memory I have:

i49.tinypic.com/30m7k47.png

...and after few second free space is larger than @ start:

i46.tinypic.com/x5avy9.png

Is this normal behaviour? Phone is taking the first calculation (when opening Manage Applications) as a free space, not that after few seconds. That is confusing me.

Is this indicating that there is something wrong with a2sd?

I'm not a programmer/developer - so how would the 'ordinary' person make this type of change? Is there a tool that I can download to my device or a tool to download to my desktop and copy the file over to my device?

I'm interested in this because I like a longer date view in my notification bar. Also - is there a mod for performing the same type of modification for the lock screen date format?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 6uPMAH:
There's no line 262 in the Sprint variant. There're 3 instances of this particular code in our DateView.smali. What's the surrounding code? I don't want to mess with the wrong lines one at a time...:confused:

EDIT: Ok, so I read the code wrong. I found 1 place in the smali file with the code, it's .line 136. However, performing the MOD makes the status bar disappear and forcecloses SystemUI.apk. It seems there's a difference b/w VZW and Sprint implementations of the date format. Pity...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaskedDriver:
Hello all,

I searched around, but didn't find anything quite like my issue so figured I'd create a new thread.

I work for a company that uses Galaxy Tabs for various purposes. One of our men brought back their VZW Galaxy Tab (SCH-i800) and it was in an infinite boot loop.

I went to recovery and attempted to do a full wipe. This did not work (partitions were all jacked up) so I couldn't get it fixed. I'm not sure if the guy tried to root the thing and broke it or what.

Anyway, I was attempting to root then fix the partitions (then was going to flash a stock unrooted rom) and ended up soft bricking it (Phone Icon -- /!\ -- Computer Icon). The issue I'm having is the only time that screen comes up is when the device is plugged into the wall. It turns on, then off, then on, then off. If I unplug the device, it shuts down with no way of bringing it back up. I've tried holding power for 5 minutes, the same amount of time with power + vol up and power + vol down. Plugging it into the computer's USB ports does not help either.

It's like the battery is drained but it won't charge when it's on the soft brick screen. I've had it plugged in to the wall for almost 6 hours now with no hope in sight. When it's plugged in, I feel heat on the back of the device like it would normally be charging. The AC adapter is also the standard warmth after a lengthy charge.

I was wondering if anybody has had similar issues with this device and if there is any way to correct it.

--- EDIT 8/10/2012 ---

Another thing of note is when the device is charging, I can power it down by holding power for a few seconds, but the Soft Brick screen pops back up almost immediately upon release of the button.

I cannot boot into recovery or the standard download mode even when it's plugged in.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaskedDriver:
You must not have read the whole thing. Not a problem.

When you connect the tab to the pc, is it recognized by Odin.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaskedDriver:
No... When the device is unplugged from the wall it is shut down and won't boot back to the download screen, recovery, nothing. It doesn't turn on. There are occasions where the download screen stays up but it appears to just be frozen. The computer doesn't recognize it and neither does Odin.

I left it plugged in when I left work on Friday... Going to see if charging for the weekend does anything.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaskedDriver:
No dice.. still jacked.

I determined the following scenarios may have happened:

1) The battery died (bad battery) during a software update and messed up the partitions

2) The battery died (bad battery) while he attempted to (unauthorized) root or flash the device, messing up the partitions.

The only thing I'm sure of is the battery is fried so any kind of hacking I can do to the device are for naught. I was able to get it to connect to Odin this morning for about 3 minutes (after having it plugged in to the wall all weekend). During the flash it shut down again bricking it even worse. Now the device won't turn on when plugged in to the wall.

Thanks for the suggestions and help. I'm calling this a lost cause at this point. We're just swapping out the device for a new one. Once that's complete, I may tear the device down and try to do a reset on the main board to see if that does anything, though I doubt that's the case.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darrenbartlett1:
Right I had exactly the same problem as you (exactly the same symptoms) but I have now fixed my tablet.

Like you I got to the point where the Tablet had enough charge to actually unplug it and connect it to my PC where I then tried to flash a stock ROM using Odin. About three quarters of the way through flashing the stock ROM the tablet died, disconnected from Odin and I got a message in the task list in Odin advising me that the process had failed. Even weirder my PC did an emergency shut down and restarted in safe mode.

Anyway I tried it again but when I started my machine, once I'd logged onto my desktop I started up Odin as quickly as possibly, selected the .tar file and pressed start as quickly as possible....it worked and my tablet was flashed with a stock ROM. However my battery was still pretty much dead and the first time of charging once it had been flashed with the ROM took about 24hrs plugged in at a mains charger for the battery to reach 100%.

My point is persevere with it and you will fix it. I was at the point where I was about to send it off to be un-bricked but obviously I'm glad I didn't now.

It is a ***** of a brick though, this 'coma brick'.

I was having the exact same issue. the device screen was completely black when plugged into the computer. I was just about to give up when, all of a sudden the device went to the boot error screen while plugged into my computer. Apparently, it must remain plugged into the computer for about 20-30 minutes. Once this screen appeared, I ran the Heimdall one-click unbrick utility, and like magic, my galaxy tab was working again. Give it a try, and good luck.

Hi, I bought one here:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007KFXIDE/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01

Then I found that from time to time my binoic (official .905 rom) cannot recognize it. Either some folders disappears, or the whole card cannot be found. Trying to unmount the card from settings>storage doesn't work. I have to physically pull it out and plug it in again to make it work. Also, some files physically lost forever.

Is this a known issue? I'm wondering is this an Android issue or this card itself has defects.

Thanks.

Learn from my mistake and never leave your Nexus 7 unattended.

Left my Nexus 7 on my chair at Starbucks and stepped away for a few seconds to throw trash away. Noticed in my peripheral view someone sitting down in my chair then immediately get up to head towards the door and my Nexus 7 in its sleeve was missing. Spun him around before he could make it out the door and snatched my Nexus 7 back which was hidden under his jacket under his left arm. It's like 90 degrees outside so the jacket was obviously suspicious.

Definitely - there are many out there, but I would recommend this one : Cerberus Anti-Theft - excellent and fast response support from the developer too. Rooted device extra features, May also consider an application protection addon-app to protect it from being uninstalled.

Regardless of where it happened you're going to run into thieves anywhere. Ironically, I always keep it with me except for that one time because the trash can was only steps/seconds away. Lesson learned that thieves eye your property and are quick when the opportunity arise. He said something to the effect that "he just sat down" (whatever) and was apologetic but probably not because he was sorry but because the incident attracted attention so there were eye witnesses and he was on camera so he probably realized he was better off scurrying off with tail between his leg rather than resist and wait for the police to show up. Get the feeling he's a seasoned Starbucks property snagger so he'll probably be back another day to target others. Thanks for the tips on the post-theft apps. Fortunately, I had pattern screen lock enabled to protect personal info/data and prevent unauthorized Google Play purchases.
