[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sach100hk:
I was getting the message "failed to update firmware. Try again using PC (software Kies) or visit a samsung service centre." I called three and samsung and NONE of them new about this update(GTI9100 ver.12.03.14.01)/ PDA:LPI/PHONE:LP4/CSC:LP4 (HG3). they told me you have the latest software.

In the end I had to delete my samsung account on my phone, back up everything on kies (expect the additional settings as it would not let me back those up). the factory reset the phone and then download and install the software through kies and it worked. It was so annoying as the software update message could not be turned off.

IMPORTANT ADDITION

Oh and by the way, back up all your contacts etc on your google account. I dont know what kind of back up kies offers but only 30 contacts were backed up luckily I had them all on google so could downloads them back onto my phone.

[HTC One X] JMCNZ:
Hi there,

I recently installed ARHD 9.0 on my One-X but didn't like it, so i tried to revert to CM10 and now i think i've screwed things up. I rebooted, ran CWM, did a full wipe, cleared the cache and dalvik cache, installed CM10, installed GApps and tried to reboot and flash the CM10 boot.img - however instead of booting back into the bootloader the phone just continued booting and is still at the CM10 boot screen. I can't access bootloader for some reason - i hold down power and volume down, but no bootloader. Is my phone bricked? What can i do?

Appreciate any help. Thanks.
[HTC One X] JMCNZ:
Problem sorted now.
[HTC One X] lazo07:
what was the problem?
[HTC One X] JMCNZ:
I've no idea. I managed to get into the boot loader eventually - It just took multiple attempts! I was sweating bullets for a while there :)
[HTC One X] shahravi94:
How did you manage to fix it? I got into bootloader but everytime i try to get into recovery i get the same bootloop again.
[HTC One X] JMCNZ:
How did you find yourself in that position to begin with? Was it flashing a new rom? Did you flash the boot.img? Don't panic, so long as you have access to the bootloader, you will be ok.

Does ringtones for G+ hangouts work for anyone? I can see a setting in the app for enabling notifications for hangouts and also choosing a ringtone. But when I am invited to a hangout, all I get is a regular google+ notification that I am invited to a hangout. My phone doesn't "ring".

I have tested this with a second nexus with the same results. I know that my phone definitely used to actually ring with an answer/decline screen when being invited to hangouts. Did google change this?

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmdisawesome:
Hello everybody I have an Sony Xperia Arc S (LT18i), I come from HTC,Samsung and Kindle Fire so I'm new with Sony devices.

The Arc S is a second-hand from my brother, I thought I would give it an ICS ROM so I flashed FXP 133 CM9 and it works great without any problem (with flashing), but it wasn't as smooth as I wanted it to be and I don't want to use a buggy CM10 yet.

So I did some research and I found a reply somewhere that flashing the CM9 Baseband 72 would make the ROM smoother, so I flash Baseband 72 via FlashTool and then it won't go pass the boot animation. I thought that maybe the ROM corrupted and so I flash CM9 Stable ROM and Kernel but it's still the same, stuck at CM9's boot animation, and I wiped it clean before flashing

I know you're suppose to wait a while in first boot, but it's 20 minutes and still no boot, I can put it to fastboot,flash mode and CWM, but if you can't power it on, you can't flash it with FlashTool right? And I can't charge it, whenever I plug my Arc in the charger, it boots to the bootanimation and stuck there again.

I doubt it's something wrong with the partition or whatever it is cuz' CWM gives me "no MTD partition: userdata" and "no app2sd partition found"

Conclusion: I can't flash a firmware (maybe cuz' I can't power it on, hope there is another way) but flashing a ROM or Kernel just won't work, right now I'm plugging my charger in but still the CyanogenMod man is looking at me.

HELP NEEDED! PLEASE!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iwarind:
now I am guiding to you an almost new territory here but try this :

Download JJ hybrid 3.2 stable from here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1535971

Download ICS stock recovery kernel from here : http://www.mediafire.com/?t75gje77zciea6x

Remove your SD card..read it through a card reader and extract the jj hybrid stable zip and copy the extracted folder into \clockworkmod\backup

Now put SD card back into the phone and keep the phone turned off

Keep the Menu button(the right most button) pressed while attaching the USB cable to the phone. No need to turn the phone on. U will notice a blue led light on the side of the phone. it means the phone has been connected into the fastboot mode.

Open the flashtool. Let it identify the phone. Then click on the lightning icon on top and choose 'fastboot mode'

On the next screen click on 'select kernel to flash'

Direct the browse screen to the ICS stock recovery kernel which u downloaded.

Once its done in a few seconds, remove the usb cable and turn on the phone.

As soon as u see the SONY logo press volume key down to enter into CWM

Wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik

Then go into backup and restore >> restore >> choose the folder you had copied which should be there.

reboot when done..it would flash JJ hybrid on your phone which is a good enough ROM..but if you need CM9 you can proceed after that..Atleast you have a restore now to get back to normal in case something goes wrong..

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shibby87:
I'm contemplating whether to return my GSIII and cancel my Verizon account within the two week period for the unlocked bootloader from Sprint, touchwiz is bad enough WITHOUT all the VZW bloat! I'm hesitant because of VZW's premium coverage and my monthly rates were grandfathered, but I'm totally against their public stance on rooting/modding. If it weren't for this community, Verizon would have lost my business years ago despite 4G lte, I live in a well covered 4G area.

Would it be wise to switch to Sprint while I still can? I know the awesome devs here are working on a permanent solution but is it logical to stay with a company that is against a good part of the reason why their devices sell?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gaúcho comedor:
My i747 had amazing battery life even with the stock rom when I bought it (brand new). I once got 30 hours with almost 4 hours of screen. Within 2 or 3 weeks, the battery started draining really fast for no apparent reason and the phone started warming up a lot after just 3 or 4 minutes of web browsing or texting. Then I remembered SetCPU and decided to reduce the clock to min 384 MHz and max to 1026 MHz. That didn't do it. The phone kept draining the battery unreasonably fast and warming up a lot. Then I tested a bunch of roms and none of them was able to reduce the consumption or the warming. It's almost like something physically damaged the phone and no software can get it back to how it was before. I don't believe any of my apps is causing this. They never show any significant usage on the battery stats screen.

TL;DR Had awesome battery life, then battery started draining really fast and overheating out of nowhere after a couple of weeks. Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this?

Is there a way to replace just the top of the glass. I have a few scratches on my screen no cracks but they bug the hell out of me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mendezj666:
You can but its extremely expensive as you have to replace the entire lcd/digitizer assembly. You could just buy and replace the digitizer but since its fused to the lcd, you will most likely crack the lcd in the process. So either sell it and get another one if it really bothers you and cant live with the scratches or maybe try putting on a screen protector that might hide the scratches.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baz8755:
I have just got my Nexus 7 and tried copying an AVI file encoded in DivX into the movies folder, the standard movies app did not want to play it.

I have a program that can convert it to mp4 but I do not know what would be the best setting to use.

So my question is can the Nexus 7 play Divx movies natively, if so how? If not is it better to download an app (suggestions please) or is it better to convert (again suggestions as to formats to use).

Cheers

I use BSPlayer for all my video files and after trying out half a dozen other players on the market it has been the best for me.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baz8755:
I ended up buying both MX Player and BS player.

I've got to say they each have their plus points.

MX player produced much louder audio and automatically plays the next movie in the folder, however it does not yet support Tegra 3 so decoding was done in software.

BS player does support Hardware.

As I bought the device to play movies whilst travelling the extra volume is a bit of big deal, however hardware support is supposed to offer longer battery life.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmscritic:
That's actually not true. Mine decodes in hardware mode just fine.

[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Okay, since Jelly Bean came to the Photon (and Electrify!), we've had nearly half a dozen ROMs pop up. Let's review, shall we?

1. Unofficial CyanogenMod 10 0.1.1 by jokersax

2. Paranoid Android 1.9.5 by Th3Bill

3. XenonHD 8.11 by Th3Bill

4. CNA (Codename: Android) 3.10 by Th3Bill

5. AOKP Build 8 by Th3Bill

...and I coulda sworn there was a second CM10 build floating around for a while.

So we have 5 of them.

Guys, what's the difference? They all have the sweet Android 4.x UI. They all have Google Now. They all have per-app notification muting. And they all have the expanded notifications, like hanging up a call or responding to a missed call with a call back or a text message.

I know Paranoid Android has the hybrid tablet stuff. That's awesome.

When I asked what AOKP did, I was told it had swagger, whatever that means. Oh, and a pink unicorn. If I were a brony, that would be my first and only choice.

But seriously, what are the differences? If you use one over the other, why?

I use Joker's CM10 right now, because presently all the other ROMs appear to be based on it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
Each ROM has their own little tweaks/added settings/perks. Like MIUI has a battery bar that can go across the top of the screen in a thin line all the way across to easily see your battery level. And most(if not all) JB and ICS based ROMS are based upon Jokers work so they all have the same base(if something doesnt work in Jokers CM9/10 it most likely is broke in all variants). Different theming, system apps, just the overall feel are found between all different ROMs. There really is no way to just pick one and say this is the best or anything, its all based upon your personal preferences. My advice would be to sit down when your bored with a while to kill and make backups and go to town flashing them all and using them for a while and finding out which one works for you the best. I personally like CM9/10 the most, but the Paranoid is pretty sweet and will most likely be my new daily ROM once MMS is up and running without GoSms.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
He explained it pretty much on point and MMS is now working 100% :D ... from my experience JB CNA has the best battery life
[Motorola Photon 4G] LexLuger82:
When did we get jb?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jleeblanch:
We haven't gotten Jelly Bean officially. We haven't even gotten ICS officially.

What we DO have is CyanogenMod 10! Which is based off Jelly Bean. That was released for us by jokersax11 shortly after Cyanogen released preview builds of CM10.

The best part is, surprisingly, CM10 is more stable than CM9 (which is based off ICS) was for us. CM10 has working Browser rotation, working MMS, and a much more stable Camera! The Video Cam is something to be desired but a small price to pay for the latest and greatest when really tho, our Photons still only officially have Gingerbread (Android 2.3.4/5).

If your someone who has updated their Photon to 2.3.5, forget it, you're stuck with Gingerbread for now.

I believe nitsuj include the patched services.jar file needed in his (you would need to check his op/changelog or verify with him though)
