[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] caderoux:
The card was operating fine in the machine but I had seen some issues recording video and DragonBox+ didn't want to update itself. But it wouldn't update itself on either SD or internal, so I thought it was something else. So I ordered another card.

I actually found this card in the park in an adaptor last year and was surprised it even worked. I went to the trouble to save off the previous person's data in the hope of being able to return it to it's owner, but couldn't fine any identifying name address information.

The photos and video should all be synced to Google+ - I'm more annoyed about having to go and remove all the apps and re-install because you can't just refresh the install over the missing files on the SD.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] caderoux:
I was amazed today to find that the new microsd seems to have all the files on it (11GB worth of files)! A friend thinks that the backup feature restored all the data overnight.

Oddly, ES File Explorer seems to indicate that the card only has 16GB, though. So I'll have to do some more digging tonight...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Poopants:
I have one of the original Dell Venue Pro devices and have used it heavily for 2 years doing browsing, email, and SMS. Recently the phone started slowing down in a manner that seemed to affect every feature and function. Turn on the phone, and the wallpaper appeared by itself, making me wait to see what time it was and my latest notifications. Unlocking the phone required me to wait as well, staring at the keypad before the screen responded to my touch. The touchscreen was laggy all the time. Everything appeared to be running equally slowly. Frustrating.

Fixed it by deleting my IE cache and most/all of the conversations in my SMS history. I had some long conversations, but also use 2-factor authentication for Google Mail and receive txts every time I log in. The thing about Google Mail's txts is that they come from a different number each time, so instead of a long SMS thread in my phone about Google verification codes I had hundreds of separate conversations each with one message. Deleting everything was a tedious process, but it totally worked. The phone is snappy once again.

I'm posting this so that folks dealing with laggy, slow WP7 have something specific to try, rather than the "solution" being suggested by MSFT support to do hard resets of the device and lose all your files/pics/appdata in the process.

A similar issue was discussed in terms of dealing with very long conversations (1000+messages):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1030132

But in my case I was dealing with slowness affecting everything, not just when viewing a very long conversation.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blithing:
Hey everyone, this is my first time posting on a forum, everytime ive had a problem ive been able to find the answer to it. However today seems to be the day ive hit a brick wall. Upgraded a couple of weeks ago to ICS 4.0.4 on my uk galaxy note, and like many other users experienced a few bugs. I took it upon myself to downgrade back to gingerbread. I backed up my galaxy note using Kies before the downgrade. The downgrade went okay, had to wipe all data due to issues but i thought this wouldnt be a problem due to the back up i made. However i have now found that i cannot restore for whatever reason (suspect its because of the different firmware).

I tried to extract the SBU file using SSV card extractor to atleast get my contacts work but i had no luck working it.

Please if anyone can help me? Would upgrading back to ICS 4.0.4 allow me to recover files?

Thanks for your time.

Hi, I apologize if anyone before me has asked the same, but I could not find anything. I followed the steps of installation step by step to install the ROM. I played Rom to install and was going well until it stopped at 72.12%. For more than 90 minutes sitting and I'm afraid to remove the battery. I tried to press and hold buttons, but nothing. Phone is WT19i with stock ROM .42. What can I do to not ruin the phone?
[General Topics] NikeX:
Edit: After 5 hours I remove the battery. When I press the start button yellow led light on. Sony Ericcsson is displayed for 10 seconds, then black screen for 10 seconds and so continuously until the battery away. When turning on the phone, the blue LED is not included.

Hi guys, just got my gs3 last week, coming from the evo 3d. I tried searching and couldn't find anything, but I'm sorry if this has been addressed already. Anyway, once I root, will I be able to backup and flash roms without an sd card? Im just confused because rooting doesnt require one, but I thought that doing data wipes/factory resets in recovery will also wipe the internal device storage. Clarification would be very much appreciated!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
You do not need an sd card.... Twrp or cwm will work without it... I suggest twrp... Which you can find over in the development thread.... :)

Hello everyone, I'd like to ask a couple of questions.

I hope that you can give me some guidelines and proper answers, thanks.

Alright so, I've Rooted my phone,S-off and all that stuff. Flashed some roms, got a hang of the recovery and tired stuff out.

But now I've got some questions about things I didn't want to mess around with without acquiring some knowledge about it first.

I've read that some ROMs require specific Hboots?

Is it safe to flash and change Hboots?

I am currently using the Stock Hboot ( I believe so )

Should I change my Hboot to the desired one when I try out ROMs or should I leave my stock one?

What's the upside of flashing newer or custom Hboots?

I also am curious about kernels, I see a lot of people use different/custom kernels.

Should I search for a good kernel or should I just leave the one that comes with the ROM itself?

Again, I am pretty new into Android devices and all this stuff so I am just trying to gather as much information as I can.

Thanks for understanding, I've read FAQ's and questions that other users posted, but I wanted to ask some specific questions.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
you are still using stock hboot because you haven't changed it yet.

it is safe to flash and change hboots, just check the md5sums from alpharev.nl before you flash them using md5check. a bad download and flash will cause a brick. i would recommend changing hboot using fastboot commands (guide here)

the benefits of different hboots are resized nand partitions, decreasing system and cache size for more data (internal memory).

you pick the hboot depending on the rom's system size, so you have more space for apps, data and dalvik depending on which a2sd script you are using.

for instance, if the rom system size is 140MB, it's worth changing to cm7r2 hboot with a system size of 145MB, thus wasting only 5MB, and have a large 287MB data partition (internal memory)

if you use stock hboot (250MB system) with a 140MB system rom, you waste 110MB, and only have 147MB internal. hope this makes sense...

kernels can give better performance/battery but you have to flash a compatible kernel, e.g. sense kernels for sense roms, or search/check the kernel thread for compatibility. you would have to actually compare and measure drain to see if there is any difference to avoid placebo.

Hey guys since the last post I made about this wasn't clear enough and was quite lengthy, I decided to record a video based off my External SD problem. The movie is about 5 minutes long and gives you a better picture of what's going on. If you think you might have an idea to a solution to this problem I'd highly appreciate it.(Video is not professionally done, only a rough draft; been stuck with this issue for 3 days try'na fix it). ​

So i have this Galaxy nexus on stock jelly bean. first i had rooted ics on it and did the Docomo permanent unlock. after that, i received a code from my carrier for retail unlock. locked the phone again with the docomo app, restarted and the phone asked for the code. after i put it in, it' s unlocked again. i noticed that in my factory folder there is still the .unlock backup folder. how do i delete it? and also, by locking again, is my nv_data now in like, factory state?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shintastic48:
Hello everyone. I have been in love with my TF201 sine purchasing it 5 months ago. I have encountered no problems with the tablet at all until, yesterday my friend wanted to take a picture, upon opening the camera app, all he saw was this. Now, I know somebody here will know if this is fixable or not. I am assuming that it isn't fixable and I'm just going to have to deal with a broken rear facing camera.

I should also mention that there is no damage to my TF201 and it has certainly never been dropped. So, is this just poor build quality that would cause this?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skarfreak:
yikes... same mine.. never yet send RMA coz im scared i cant unlock it after RMA.

if i were you (that if you are still locked), i would trade it with tf700. there are like two forums about it in here...

hope you'll find a way to fix it...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GunnerOnASpooky:
I just RMA'd mine to fix this issue...which was caused by an RMA to fix LCD mura. If you specify that you do not want them to reset the software, you shouldn't have to worry it being relocked.

That is just my experience though. I made sure to let them know not to reset the software...by stating it large bold letters in red ink on the RMA checklist :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skarfreak:
Really... that is a great very great news... this really helps... i would definetely send mine anytime this month.. can't find a perfect time coz the daughter is using it on youtube vids on daily basis... (cartoons stuff)...

Thanks mate...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shintastic48:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skarfreak:
that is still has a warranty... so no worries..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] texstar:
You might give this a try (found it on a google search) before you call and RMA it.

Open your camera program.

See bad green screen or something unrecognizable.

Open Options.

Change quality to 3 Mps.

Change sides to 16/9.

Turn focus to "far away" (not auto).

Press by your finger to back camera with some power for 5-7 seconds.

Move finger away.

If it's working - have a fun!

If it's not - press again.

Open Options.

Change quality and sides back for your pleasure.

When you make photos you can turn on "Auto focus", but when you turn off camera program you should change in options focus to "far away" (not auto).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shintastic48:
Thanks for this post. Gave it a few tries but it didn't seem to do anything but crash the tablet and cause it to restart.

Guess I'll have to try and RMA it. I hope I know enough Japanese to be able to do that d:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GunnerOnASpooky:
I'm unlocked as well, that's why I specified not to touch the OS. Didn't have to pay for the first go round and haven't heard anything from them this go round.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shintastic48:
So, this must be a Normal issue with the TF201?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] langov3:
Same thing happened to mine.

I think it's just a software issue though. If you change to the front camera and back again it's just the previous image displayed chopped up. Normally I would just fix permissions or re-flash the ROM, but I don't really want to void the warranty by unlocking the bootloader.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GunnerOnASpooky:
I don't think its a software issue...there's a thread that tells of a temp fix....by squeezing the area by the camera.

Also, I have flashed pretty much every rom, including stock and it is still the same result, even with permissions fixed.

The big question is... Will you be able to RMA it even after flashing a bunch of different ROMS. Perhaps flash stock again and send it back?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] compuw22c:
I think the REAL question is:

Will Asus let us BUY the damn camera module?

I've had a bad camera for months now because I don't want to go without my tablet for weeks for something that I know will take 15 minutes. I've seen more than enough tear downs to know it's nothing I couldn't handle, I just want to PAY them for the part.

Every few weeks I search for it as a part to buy, with no luck :(

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] X4arms:
Solved (for me)

I read about this pressure and adjust method on several sites, and decided to try it before parting with my tablet for an RMA/repair... and it worked. :good: I had recently updated to Jelly Bean (day 1 of US release) and also resulted in the back camera showing green static. So, I did pretty much what was described by texstar in the quote below. But here's my process also, in more general steps:

After strong pressure around the camera, the camera was working, so I kept the pressure on while I played with focusing on different objects (thus, forcing focus mechanism adjustments). And now, my camera seems to be back to normal! If you're like me and don't want to be without the TF201 while its being RMA/repaired, this might be worth a try. Again, what I did was apply gradual pressure around the back camera until the picture was fixed, then played with focus settings while applying pressure to keep the picture clear. I had to do this a few minutes, but now it's good!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skarfreak:
i tried this and it did work for some time, now, i can't make it work no matter how i put pressure on it. tsk tsk tsk. lucky you bro,,,
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] X4arms:
I'll report back if the camera ever fails back to the green state, since I just got the pressure fix to work tonight.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] X4arms:
Pressure fix fail...

Just wanted to report that the camera is acting up again. Pressure to the right side of the camera (if you're holding the tablet vertically with the lens on your right, it would be thumb pressure below the lens) fixes it temporarily, but I've just tested it briefly, and haven't reapplied the full steps to the "fix". I'm afraid it needs to be RMA'ed/repaired, but I need the camera for this weekend so I'll hold off for now. :(

Edit: The application of pressure has fixed it again. But since it already reverted overnight to the green static state, I'm guessing the fix is just temporary.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Parastie:
I just started having this issue. My tablet rebooted for some reason, then when it booted up I got a weird message saying 'updating camera firmware'. Now my back camera is green. To be fair, I haven't used my camera in a long time and it has been kind of beaten on by my 2 year old son. :D

The pressure trick seems to work while I'm holding it, but doesn't stay if I let go. These leads me to believe that it's an issue with the connection. I'll try opening up my device and disconnecting/reconnecting the camera module later. Hopefully today, I think this will fix the issue.

EDIT:

I was right. Popped open my prime for the first time and got to the camera area. Low and behold, there appeared to be some kind of metal shaving around the lens area, just touching one of the exposed contacts. It could have been a micro spring of some sort, but it vanished quickly somewhere on the floor while I was trying to expect it closer. Once removed, however, the camera is now working perfectly. Anyone brave enough might try it. It's really easy to do. Check out Youtube for videos on how to open up the prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jmontalvo1:
Easy fix for the green camera issue

Reading some posts where the poeple got the camera back to work by pressing near the lens makes me wonder it should be a connector or ribbon out of place so I decided to open the TF201 and take a look.

I dissasembly the screen and took off the 6 screws that holds the main board(one is like hide for a tape, the one near the camera), then I briefly pull the board and make pressure over the camera, it sounds a click, so I knew the problem has fixed.

I put back everything in place and the problem was fixed.

It really is not a big deal to dissasembly the screen to have access to the board. There should be many step by step guides, but what I think is important is:

1- remove the rubber protectors at the bottom near the port connector,

2-carefully slide the locks until an arrow appears,

3-use thin object(I uhelp myself with the one I use to play guitar) to separate the screen from the case, then with a opener or a credit card continue openning from the bottom to the sides, once the botom and two sides are apart, pull the screen to finally separate the top part from the case,

4-now you have access to the board (remove the 6 screws),

5-reconnect the camera and put back everything in place,

It won't take you more than 10 minutes.

(I also clean the surface of the antenna conectors and now I have better wifi signal)

Sounds complicated for the first time you try to have access to the board, but it's really easy.

Good luck,

Javier
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] f.cervera:
Hello Javier, thanks for this description.

I have same problem, but there's one thing I don't follw :

In point #5 you say "reconnect the camera and put back everything in place", you mean in your tablet the strip camera module wasn't properly Connected ?

So you did just reconnect and the problem was fixed ??

In my case, I think my problem is that strip is broken, must be something loose inside because is making intermittent contact...

so I think I need a new camera module
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jmontalvo1:
I don't think so. This ribbon is too short and has no movement to get broken or something. You should open your prime and reconnect the camera, I don't think you need a new one. This ribbon is not easy to broke

Well thanks so much. I was getting the green screen of death on the camera as well. I opened er up and booted the system back up. I removed screws as well but at this point I don't think that is actually necessary at least if yours is broken how mine was. I flipped the camera up while the camera app was working and noticed that the camera would work or not based on small deviations of the ribbon cable's position.

I then moved the camera back down and reattached it to the adhesive block after finding a position for the cable in which the camera still worked. I powered down the device, and reassembled it. The camera continues to work after booting up the tablet again.

:confused: Could someone specify how I would know for sure that my camera module is broken? I opened my tablet yesterday and moved it around, but the connection didn't change. However, I didn't know what I should really try moving in order to get the connection working. I just moved the camera module up (from it's pivoting point) and down again. So I would be glad if someone could explain in more detail what to move and when I would be able to conclude that (if I would want to) I should buy a new camera module.
