[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
Assuming you've tried the obvious KFU methods of putting the device back to normal bootmode...

If you are in fastboot mode, adb won't recognize the device and it won't respond to adb commands. You must use fastboot commands to reset the bootmode back to normal. The adb_usb.ini file is only used by adb, so manipulating that file isn't going to do you any good either.

See if this guide helps you...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1668159

It's important to have the device already connected to the computer as the device puts itself into fastboot mode. You will not be able to issue fastboot commands to it otherwise. Use the guide to make sure the KF is actually putting itself into fastboot mode. Then verify the interface and hardware details given.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathblade:
thank you for your reply, i have tried fastboot commands as well but i will take a look at the link you provided,and will post if anything helps
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathblade:
ok i have tried the fastboot commands from that post and they have not helped, it stops at waiting for device i tried all 4 commands listed just in case, and all come up with the same thing, would this factory cable be somethine that would help. if so how reliable is it?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
A factory cable puts the device into fastboot mode. If the device is already in fastboot mode, it's not going to help you at that point. I suggest you reread my last post and go over that fastboot guide carefully. Figure out what the device is doing and how your computer sees it.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathblade:
well i tried for the hell of it to see if it would do anything to install the twrp recovery and well now the power light it orange and the screen wont turn on, i apologize if this isnt any issue, as ive stated this isnt mine its my brothers, and i dont quite know how to use it or what indicates whaton it, but i will re-read the post you linked but i didnt see anything of any use that i havent already tried
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathblade:
ok i just re-read it all, and im thinking the shorting trick is my only option, as my hardware ids do not match the ones stating its in fastboot (according to the article), if there are any better suggestions that would be great :), thank you again for your responses

EDIT: it seems that installing the twrp fixed our problem, it just booted :)!!, thank you so much for your help
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seth.D:
No, I did not make any recent changes to any Android system files and all the apps were compatible with my device prior to a few days ago.

Okay, so I have an R800at and after browsing Google Play, I noticed that there were a lot less apps than before. Even apps that I have previously downloaded which work fine on my device now are listed as incompatible. (Twicca, TeamViewer, My Country, etc.)

I would like to provide more information but unfortunately this is all I have to go on. :(

EDIT: Solved! This can be fixed by changing your pixel density to 240, clearing Google Play data and cache, clearing Google Services Framework data and cache, then restarting your phone a couple of times.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seth.D:
Bump.

Solved! See first post.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
so you did change the system files
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seth.D:
The key word here is "recent". I changed my pixel density a very long time ago, so I didn't think it was related because the market was working fine for months after that change.

unless u have to say something usefull( e.g how to get rid of those annoyng bugs from ics or how to repair the yellow tint...or how to improve the battery life) please leave us and buy a ugly Samsung...or HTC or whatever you like! you will find that all the phones have their problems:P

If not because of the yellow tint issue that was killing me, i would keep it until the 2013 line realeased.

Xperia S is hell a of a sexy phone.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alexgogan:
100% agree but cause I need a phone that works and could not face another 5weeks with out it been repaired had no choice. Now I am no fan of Sammy far from it but when I will have an average of 40 calls a day on my mobile (busy upto 65) needed something that would work.

I still much prefer the xperia S but how it looks is not that important or how it feels if that was the case might have chosen the lumia.

Now I have no preconceptions that Sammy make a better phone this actually feels so plasticly you would not believe but when it comes to making and receiving a call its working. I do not have to worry now (at the moment) about people complaining they can't here me with all the beeps cause proximity is bust, and nore do I have to strain cause yellow tint was getting worse and worse, or the endless FC just using the contacts looking up a number (after re flashing bringing back to stock etc.)

Yes my robot who built my xperia was on the oil too much but when they could not issue a replacement why should I stay.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shmoejoe:
I never had any problems on the S with force closes and such (system apps anyways). I would much rather have a yellow screen (that can be repaired) than a blue screened plastic fantastic device to be honest. You can't fix the cheap body and a blue screen.

Everyone has their opinions and such so it doesn't matter. I find this thread in general a bit unnecessary but whatev :rolleyes:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsgun357:
(Q) I recently noticed my battery life isn't quite as good as it has been. I've been trying to troubleshoot and one thing I've noticed is maps is constantly running. It used to be on the bottom 5% on battery usage. Now its 2nd on list below display. I force close it in app manager but it keeps restarting. What apps might be connected to maps that would make it run? I unchecked all the boxes in location settings and I always use long press to kill apps. Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated!

you could have had JB quite some time ago...was no need to wait for the bootloader to be unlocked...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
^ This. Kexec gave us the same capabilities as an unlocked bootloader. The unlocked bootloader just makes things a little safer (still not 100% idiot proof) and could draw outside developers who may have been on the fence due to the bootloader being locked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skrypj:
I just installed a non-kexec recovery and cm10 from the sticky over in the original development section and am quite happy with it. There were a few hiccups but after a few restarts it seems to have smoothed out.

Just make sure you back up your imei.

Goodluck!

so does this mean once bootloader is unlocked new roms won't have possibility for the lost IMEI issue?

Hi.

I just read a review on a Norwegian site that mentioned that they could "see the pixels", as they put it, on the display.

This was apparently due to the resolution being low for a 10".

Before I purchase the TF300T, I would really like to know if you actually can "see" the pixels, or is the display smoother than they give it credit for?

[General Questions and Answers] Vertron:
I've got a SGS running ICS. But for some unknown reason I've noticed that media storage is always running in the background making the CPU run at max clock all the time, which is killing the battery.

I think it might be unable to scan everything for some reason as quite alot of my photos are missing from my gallery.

Clearing the data of media storage stops it running, but I lose all the photos from the gallery and all notifications. I can use an app called Scanmedia to get all the notifications back, and only some of the photos for some reason. But media storage continues to run in background draining my battery.

Like I said earlier I think it might be a scanning bug. Unable to scan all media, so it doesn't stop scanning. That's just my guess though.

How can I fix this?
[Windows 8 General] MRock419:
I was playing minecraft last night and it froze. So I went to restart my computer hoping minecraft would close then I canceled the restart. Then everything was frozen so I just pulled out the battery. Then when I turned it on while loading a blue screen came up that said your PC ran into a problem. Then it loads again and it says windows is preparing automatic repair. The the screen goes dim, but nothing is on the screen and the mouse is on the screen. When I close the lid the screen turns off. When I pull the battery or turn it off the same thing happens. I am running windows 8 consumer preview on the HP g60. I can provide more information if needed. Someone please help.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] oregondave:
When i place a call and put the phone to my ear and then pull back away the screen does not "wake". It stays de-activated, no matter what i do. Eventually the only thing to do is to hold the power button down long enough for the phone to reboot.

Stock ROM, no root.

Thanks for any help anyone can offer.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] oregondave:
WTF

I tested by laying the phone flat on a surface, placed a call, and then put my hand over the proximity sensor. The screen turned black as it should. When I removed my hand it did not come back on. Again, the only solution is to reboot the phone. So, the proximity sensor is not working correctly. Is this a known issue and is there a way to fix?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] oregondave:

Where is the sensor setting?

Edit. Found it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] oregondave:
NOT FIXED

So after a reboot the proximity sensor does not work on calls again. I turned it off and then back on and still no luck. I didn't actually make a call, but obviously I shouldn't have to do this every time i reboot the phone, so clearly there is an issue. It appears to be software since I got it to work once.

Any ideas? Thanks.

That solution wasn't very good aha, what I would suggest you root your phone without tripping the flash counter and install a custom rom to see if the issue still exists, if yes you should return the phone.

thanks well it's brand new and it may be hardware related so i'd rather just get a fresh device then sweat dealing with root yet. this is why i waited to root it. I appreciate your effort though :).

Sent from my mind through my device
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Badger:
Baseband is the phone/modem part of a package and is distinct from PDA which is the software/firmware and CSC, which contains geographic or carrier specific info.

If you flash a rom with a different modem as part of the package you simply have a different modem. Never had a problem flashing roms built on different basebands. If you have problems with one modem you can usually just flash a new one separately.

Just make sure any rom you flash is for the correct version of the phone. Make sure you don't flash a US carrier variant firmware on an international I9300 or vice versa!
