All egos aside I will not stand by and allow somebody to be a douchenozzle just because they think they can.

No matter what people claim xda is, it will always be what the user base "allows" it to be. If you have devs that are complete asshats and ***** about every single thing that doesnt have a log attached then the users will be the same. This community has transformed since I joined in Feb. And I think it was for the best. People started to look at a bigger picture and see the reality of it all.

When mods post these kinds of things it really infuriates me.

and this

The last quote just outright makes me want to tell the mod that said that he is stupid. XDA would not be where it is right now without the users. Yes developers are a very large part, but how many users came here to make their phones cool only to stick around and port a metric f**kton of roms? The users make this place just as much as the developers.

Lets not go the route taken back in the spring. We all can agree to disagree or just agree. But for the love of android agree the community needs to police itself and sometimes that involves beating dumbasses with a Louisville slugger on the back of the virtual head.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bentenrai:
When I first got this tablet I could pinch-to-zoom and select split keyboard or floating keyboard. Now it's not working. The multi-touch gesture seems to do nothing. The installed version of the keyboard is Samsung Keyboard 1.0. It says in the options that pinch-to-zoom on the keyboard zone would bring up the style selection menu (as it should). It just refuses to recognize my gesture. This is on a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1.

Anyone else experience this? Any ideas if removing an app or something may have done this? Can't figure it out for the life of me.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bentenrai:
I tried all the suggestions you guys mentioned and still nothing. I have a feeling the keyboard apk is unable to save data because I am still having this same problem from my previous thread. My internal sdcard refuses to let me delete corrupted files from it again and I think maybe the keyboards settings are saved there. I also cannot save a screenshot or user defined words with my keyboard.

Wassup With That!?

Go this Nifty Tablet on Sunday and after playing around with Google Maps this morning I noticed the pinch function was not working, I even tried it on a few pictures and in a few web browsers, no luck. i noticed this while playing Video games but i brushed it off, I was playing "Dead Trigger" & "Modern Combat 3" in game the camera goes haywire or would not respond to my touch at all and would continue to not work correctly unless i do a reboot and jump right back in as soon as the tab is back up and running. I have to do this a few times before it all goes back to normal.

I'm wondering if this is a hardware defect and i should return it for a new unit or should i just wait it off untill a new software release hopefully fixes this issue.

or i might just return it and upgrade to a NOTE

Android 4.1.1 - Model GT-P5113
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidpp86:
I got this multi touch problem just after i updated the tablet to jb.

Guess its software error or something.

Sometimes works (after reboot) and then it doesnt work anymore.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xedroid:
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

My trusty Evo's USB port ripped off the PCB. It was a sad day. I did anything and everything with that phone. Amazing. So, I decided to buy a used Evo on eBay with a busted LCD but clean ESN. It came, looked as described, but it was remanufactured, I swapped in the front of my old phone (LCD, digitizer, front housing) onto the "new" one, booted it up, and all was well. For about 5 minutes. That's when I experience the first random FC. It kept happening, so I rooted it (Hboot 2.18 with this method), flashed some ROM (I have flashed so many now, I don't remember) and same thing.

Things I have learned:

This thing hates Mason kernels :(

I can't get tommytomatoe's "The Classic" ROM to even do a full boot.

ICS and CM7-based ROMs seem the best, but I still get random reboots, freezes, and FCs.

Things I have tried:

Reset Permissions - Things seem better after I do this, but after a few hours I get the same thing

Wiped everything, including the SD

I wipe everything but the SD, including the caches x3, before every ROM flash

I am currently running sharkboy0901's MokeeSharK, which is the most stable, but still get the same behavior

Does anyone have any ideas what to do from here, or do I just scrap this phone? I need to hold off for a few months to upgrade and am very sad that I have a bad Evo after having such a good one.

I have made a couple of change to this, a post I did for someone else today. You have done an excellent job of trying to resolve this- I hope this will be helpful.

There are a couple of things to point out:

Get Kies off your computer - it is a source of problems. Also means delete from recycle bin if there.

Download the Infuse drivers from bigjoe's ISET here: http://d-h.st/sKF

Thanks to bigjoe for an amazing page of resources !!

Heimdall uses it's own driver.

Once you install heimdall on one USB port of your pc, reserve that 1 port for going back. Also good to use that same USB cord.

The first part where it failed was because of bad connection. You just needed to change USB cord or change the port.

:)

Read the heimdall thread and the how to thread a few times...

You could also use the froyo heimdall i put together for ucke3..see my sig link
[Samsung Infuse 4G] electricpete1:
Thanks very much for the replies.

Updated java.

Uninstalled Kies and Samsung driver (SGH-i997_Infuse4G_USB_Drivers_5_2_0_2)

Rebooted.

Reinstalled Samsung driver from bigjoe's link (same file).

I think it asked me to reboot.

Started the PC Heimdall program.

Attempted to put phone in download mode, it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue....".

So phone is not recognizing PC.

But PC recognizes the phone as connected.

Press flash. It goes to next page... I list all drivers, there is nothing Samsung in there.

Disconnected phone. Shut down program. Removed drivers/rebooted / reinstalled Samsung driver

Started Heimdall.

Attempted download mode, same error message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue..."

Tried flash anyway, the next screen list of devices still has no Samsung.

Oddly when I go back to the first pc screen and try plug/unplug the phone, the PC recognizes phone as connected/disconnected. But it doesn't recognize it on the 2nd page where it tries to install the driver. And the phone has never successfully entered download mode since the first one or two tries...I get this "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue with yellow triangle screen every time since.

All above was on a single USB. I then tried on two other USB's same result. I may try another PC tomorrow night after work.

And will review the qkster's thread again as well as the video link posted by Pony Express.

Will report those results...

For now my head hurts ;). Time to call it a day.

Thanks for all your help.

I definitely appreciate it.

meaning of this error message?

deleted
[Samsung Infuse 4G] electricpete1:
I see there is one other current thread in this forum on similar issue

"stuck on screen with (phone)---!----(Computer) "

http://xdaforums.com/show...rch+this+forum

I noticed one thing we had in common is we both had Kies installed at some time early in our process (now removed).

I have some questions about the meaning of this screen that appears on my phone when I attempt to get to download mode:

"Firmware upgrade encounted an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"

The screen has a yellow warning triangle on it

Is that a common screen to see on your phone during this process ?

Does it represent download mode? (I don't think so, since I saw a different screen on my phone the first time I connected... but maybe that had something to do with Kies?)

Is there any point in even trying to flash/download drivers when I see that message?

If the opportunity presents itself, is it advisable to attempt flash with "download bootloaders checked" when this error message is present?

(* If these questions are answered by the video, then I apologize in advance. I don't have the opportunity to watch that video here from my work computer, but I am eager to get a head start so I can hit the ground running when I get home after work tonight).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andros11:
For the moment don't check the bootloaders. You will only need them for ICS and JB to get rid of rainbows in the recovery. A bootloader flash is practically the only thing that can brick our phone.

Is that "firmware upgrade.." screen the one with the pc!phone? It has been a long time since I soft bricked so I don't recall if it said that somewhere.

If heimdall is giving you issues, try Odin and see how it goes there.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Yes...that's represents download mode...just another form...heimdall should still work
[Samsung Infuse 4G] electricpete1:
Thanks to everyone. That is very helpful.

I have some more questions. I'm not trying to be nit-picky, but just want to make sure I understand exactly what is being said.

Does that mean we don't need the Samsung driver SGH-i997_Infuse4G_USB_Drivers_5_2_0_2 driver ?

Any guess whether it works better with or without it? I will definitely try without it, but if anyone knows a preferred configuration, that would be helpful so I can focus on changing other things.

As a clarification. I'm not sure precisely what that means. All I'm doing is starting the program, letting it load drivers on first screen, connecting the phone in download mode (with error screen), pushing flash which will hopefully get me to the 2nd screen where I select options/all/Samsung/Replace to set up the driver. Is this statement intended to say anything different?

I take it that in my situation (with error message and no evidence of success in previous flashing, and going to GB) this is really only a last resort after all other options exhausted as per andros' suggestion above?

By the way, I'm going to keep trying to install the UCLB3 GB (vs Froyo), as long as the chance of success is the same on both.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] electricpete1:
I'm a little nervous about turning off my security program (a/v, firewall etc) since I haven't done that in years.

Have there been problems attributed to doing this with security enabled, or is it just a general suggestion to avoid interruptions from unexpected scans or pop-ups etc? (my security runs peacefully in background and never interrupts me unless I ask it)

If it's really necessary to disable security program, I'd feel better about keeping my internet disconnected for the duration that the anti-virus is off. Is there any problem created if the internet connection remains disconnected for the duration of this process?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Drivers: when you launch heimdall it will install its own custom drivers for whatever usb port its pluged into...so if you plug it into one of your ports in the front and run heimdal only the port the phone is currently plugged into will be effected by the new driver. the driver is only used when in download mode...so dont uninstall your current drivers

selecting device: i think you got it (if my memory is correct...) just launch and run heimdall with device connected in dl mode...when you get to installing drivers just go to options and choose list all...i cant remember the exact name the infuse shows up as though

Bootloaders: just flash the first time without it checked...if it doesnt go through then check it and flash again

Antivirus: i have never turned off my anti virus when using heimdall on any of my computers (one computer uses norton 360 premier, the other one uses avast free) i never had it conflict with the process...so just leave it on for now...and only turn it off if you are having problems...if your worried about viruses then disconnect from the internet when you turn off your anti virus -i dont think the heimdall relies on internet at all...well maybe for the drivers...so just dont turn anything off until after you get the drivers

EDIT: i have a frseh install of windows 7 on my dev computer that i havent used heimdal on yet...so ill run it and clarify the driver section...i dual boot both linux and windows...currently im near the end of a repo sync so as soon as that finishes ill boot into windows and run heimdal...in less then a half hour hopefully...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] electricpete1:
Thanks mg2195.

Very good info.

I have tried my Windows 7 PC and another windows Vista PC.

On both pc's I tried with drivers pre-installed on the pc and without. Reboots in between.

I also used two different cables and tried all usb ports that were available.

In all cases but one, the anti-virus/firewall was on and pc connected to internet

In one case I tried with anti-virus off and pc diconnected from internet.

In all cases (except for the first one or two at the beginning of this thread), here's what happens:

I start Heimdall, it takes me to the first Heimdall screen, which shows "device status" red/disconnected as expected.

I try to put phone in download. Get the error message screen on the phone (see subject line). The "device status" shown on the pc changes from red/disconnected to green/connected (as expected).

I Click flash.

It asks to run the program, I say ok, it takes me to the second Heimdall screen, where I select Options/List-all.

There is no samsung driver choice.

I close the selection window (click x in upper right hand corner), it takes me back to the first Heimdall screen.

Device status still shows green/connected on the first Heimdall screen.

If I press flash again, the experience at the second screen repeats without showing Samsung driver.

Before I go to the next configuration (next usb port or cord or whatever), I remove the phone and close out the Heimdall program.

The bootloader option is available to be checked in the first Heimdall screen, but I have not done it

I’m not sure if I explained before that I have not had a successful driver installation in that second Heimdall screen (since the first one or two attempts). Does this change fact change your suggestion about checking the flash bootloaders box?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
you should probably wait until you get the heimdal drivers installed...im still wating for my reposync to finish...for some reason the download slowed down to 200kb/s,,,so it could take a while...

but for the drivers do this

1) On the menu bar (Device,Options,Help) Click Options --> List All Devices

2) Under USB Device select “Samsung USB Composite Device”

if its not locating it then try differnt ports/cables...if still no then run as admin...rightclick or shift+rightclick...if still not showing up...maybe bad usb port on the phone?
