[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadeslayers:
Today I've run into a curious problem, and I've finally ran into a brick wall in solving it.

I have the Samsung galaxy S II Skyrocket, and I have a 16GB micro SD card that I just bought from wal-mart for it. The card has been awesome since I got it.

Earlier I was cleaning up stuff because I was running out of space, so I moved a bunch of stuff from the SD card to my laptop and deleted it off my sd card. When I went to move my stuff back over after having made my changes to it... the sdcard said it only had 5GB of memory left. That's weird, because I had just moved 10GB worth of stuff off of the sdcard. So something must be up.

I rebooted my phone and wiped the caches just to make sure it wasn't keeping stuff like that on it. I also got rid of the LOST.DIR folder. I would go through the whole card in Ubuntu terminal using ls -lh on every folder and there was no way that card only had 5GB of free space on it. So I went ahead and reformatted it.

This is where things went wrong.

Foolish me, and this was a mistake on my part, I chose ext 4 for whatever reason as opposed to FAT32. So now I have a 16gb sdcard that is blank and unreadable by my phone. My phone offers to format it, but the format does nothing. Formatting it in CWM also accomplishes nothing. And my other machines won't recognize the Sd card either, only my phone. My phone could see it, but say that it can't use it. Sdcard is blank or has an unsupported filesystem would be the error.

At least my phone could see it though, so I thought there must be a way to save this thing. My laptop couldn't recognize it for some reason, so using Gparted was out of the question.

After a couple attempted reformats and searching for apps that could format sd cards (I couldn't seem to find any) I went for a last ditch attempt and used the partition tool in CWM that I had read about some weeks ago for a completely unrelated task.

And voila I can see the card again. Except.. CWM partitioned 4GB, and those 4GB of data seem to be lost. No matter what, using windows, my phone, Gparted in ubuntu, they all say that the card has a max size of 10.7GB now as opposed to the 14.7 or so that it was supposed to have.

And now I'm stumped. Did CWM goof up and instead of partitioning off 4GB, it actually just destroyed 4GB and somehow made the sdcard work again at the cost of 25% of the data it is supposed to hold? Or is the way CWM partitions it something whacky where the 4GB is there but it is impossible to see it or access it or something..

tl;dr SD card had issues, repartitioning in CWM made it work again. Instead of having 16GB, it has 12GB. How to get those 4GB back?

can someone make a SPC_bootanimation.zip of the Jelly bean nexus style boot animation?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drlzanej:
Probably, question should havebeen in themes and apps, speaking of theres a thread there about making your own boot animations theres even a person that will make one for you, if you ask,,,,but you gotta read to find him,,,
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PhxkinMassacre:
if you find one of it from the galaxy nexus, one x, or anything with our same screen resolution, ill make one up for you.

or ill find it myself later. if you do fine one leave a link to the thread :)

Edit: I was going to take a flashable zip for an animation already made and just throw the new animation in it but since goo.im is all funky i can't dl one. once i can ill send you a message

I recently updated to ICS stock rom (India) on my Galaxy s2.

After the update i am facing lot of issues like Fast battery drain, Low call volume.

In order to increase the call volume i went to the service menu and found that Audio Menu is blocked and it does not allow me to enter into the same.

Therefore, I request you to please let me know the way out for the same. I would like to increase call volume.

Hello to all users xda! I have a question to experts create custom rom. I have a rom.zip taken from RUU_Legend_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_3.15.405.6_Radio_47.51.35.17_7.13.35.05_release_222317_signed.exe. Installed it's Rom on my legend and rooted, added; Superuser,ROM Manager. Then pulled system.img and boot.img. Now I want to replace the files in the original rom.zip: system.img, boot.img, recovery.img and radio.img. I do not know how to make such an archive. Tried to pack through dsixda's Android Kitchen in HBOOT not flashing. And when i'm try via to command flash fastboot i get an error:

C:\fly380>fastboot oem rebootRUU
... OKAY

C:\fly380>fastboot flash zip LEGEIMG.zip
sending 'zip' (143800 KB)... OKAY
writing 'zip'... INFOzip header checking...
INFOzip info parsing...
FAILED (remote: 99 unknown fail)

Tell me how to collect the same in structure, as the original rom.zip archive. To flash without ClockworkMod or other fake Recovery, using a flashing through HBOOT?

Immediately thank for the help and Sorry for my english.

So I have recently been playing around with the frosted glaze ROM on my nexus 7 but I went back to stock due to issues I ran into anyways now in the Google play store some apps won't download and some will like Google maps says it needs an update but when I click update it says downloading and gets stuck like that for hours the same with apps that aren't even installed but I have installed before like splash top 2 or dead Trigger please help I tried clearing Google play cache and data and uninstalling updates I even tried factory resetting nothing is working please please help :(

I figured out how to fix this all you have to do is DL the latest Google apps zip then flash it and then it all works again :D
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omguafkasian:
nevermind problem came back this is getting really annoying x,x
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jalh:
I got mine fix. I had to install stock image, lock the boot-loader and then clean all caches and unlock, then root again.

It was a pain in the ass as many times i had to factory reset and install stock rom in order to fix it.

Hope you fix it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesst20:
Just image factory restore your nexus 7 :p yeah it erase all data but will fix for sure. There is 2 tool to do that pretty easily.

1. Nexus 7 Toolkit v2.0

2. Nexus Root Toolkit 1.5.3

Bot can Restore to stuck, lock/unlock bootloader, install stock/custom img or recovery etc...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jalh:
Did it happen to you as well ?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesst20:
No but Restoring to the factory image must fix the issue unless it is a hardware issue but it is a software bug

Was browsing the xda app today on the dark theme and I found two dead black spots on my screen. Thankfully they only show up on very dark grey backgrounds and are black. Tried all the dead pixel finders on the market but they don't show up on those...very odd.

Now comes the decision if I fake some things wrong to get a returb or keep it until it gets worse...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
So why does his happen to all the new expensive phones???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Haro912:
Has something to do with the manufacturing process of the AMOLED screens. Fairly normal from what I have read on here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheLynxy:
My phone has the same issue. Several dark patches all over on a dark background while in a dark room. That is the only time i ever notice it; doesn't bother me in the least. Other people have sent in phone after phone, every one of them having these these splotches.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Imatoasta:
It's from the way they glue the screens together and the glue doesn't dry or something in areas.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] turbosrrgood:
This happens to all phones, and led/lcd screens for that matter. People just notice and complain more (rightfully so) on more expensive models. 2 of my last 3 phones before this had at least 1 dead pixel.

You should be able to replace it under warranty, no?

Personally my worst fear isn't dead pixels though, it would be waking up to find a naked Rex Ryan fondling my feet...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
It its replaceable but you're taking a chance at getting a phone with worse blotches. The OP in this thread had blotches on his replacement phone too.

Wow haha, I posted this before I want to sleep and didn't think I would even get any replies. I am extremely relieved to know I'm not the only one.

I went through 4-5 droid x2's because of dead red pixels so I was really hoping to avoid this again. However since its a common issue I'm less worried. Thank you guys!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Imatoasta:
The blotches are different than dead pixels. Dead pixels are an instant replacement even if just 1.

That's actually a "problem" with all super ambled screens. It happens when the screen isn't lit correctly or bright enough. It's normal and hhappens on all of the screens.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyo123:
Need some help here, hopefully without having to go back to JF6 (that is a little scary at this point). Was pretty happy with CM9 and updated through most nightlies. Just today I upgraded to CM10. All seemed to be working well except that I received a warning of invalid IMEI. I pushed through it and had the phone working on CM10 (with low memory /data isses - that could later be rectfied) then realized that the IMEI issue would mean AT&T would likely shut my phone down. The invalid IMEI is generic and has been flagged as invalid. I also ran into a few issues where I could not download from the Play Market App and think this was the reason.

I nandroid backed up CM10 and restored CM9 but still no dice. As I learned later it doesn't touch the efs folder which somehow the CM10 upgrade modified or had the effect to change it. Uuughh. many others were having the issue.

Anyway, I have verified that there are no /efs backups anywhere on my phone or SC or emmc cards. There are no backups within the efs folder. So, I am hosed. Any way to edit the nv_data.bin file a la this process for either CM9 or CM10?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=881162&highlight=restore+imei

This seems to be the only way I can see that would get me back with no IMEI EFS backup. But, going back to Android 2.1 Eclair or 2.3.5 Gingerbread would be a time killer and have to go through rerouting (?), upgrading, etc.

Any thoughts or direction?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvertag:
Go Stock with rooted KK4 and flash what ever rom you want after.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyo123:
Okay

All right it was a long painful night and day. Found and downloaded Heimdall One Click .jar with UCKK4 GB. Ran it and it restored the correct IMEI. It was unrooted and stock.

Then what was previously easy became an adventure to root and and load a kernel with CWM. I must have bricked the phone 10 times havimg to redo the Heimdall to Gingerbread 2.3.5 numerous times including reloading samsung pc drivers. Eventually with Odin, I found the right sequence using Corn Kernel for UCKK4 703 injected with CWM (not 705 or 706 versions which kept failing) which allowed me to get CWM loaded onto the phone.

I still could not restore my CM9 nandroid backups as the /data restore kept failing having to redo things from scratch. So, then I copied the latest CM9 nightly .zip onto the internal SD then loaded it from the Corn-CWM restore. CM9 booted and things were better but phone nad none of the settings and things still not right. Then rebooted into CWM recovery and restored the last CM9 nandroid backup. Now things worked and everything was back to normal with the correct IMEI.

Man that was a long stressing and scary day...

Made multiple copied of EFS for the future.

Will hold off on CM10 until the /efs issue is resolved as well as the memory management is better understood (while on CM10 I immediately ran into /data out of memory problems (I know I needed to move things to SD but never got around to it once the IMEI issue came up).

So, all is back to CM9 and finally working fine
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geek1st:
odin to stock, then you will get imei back, backup efs folder, and flash back to cm10.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] master2828:
I have the same problem, but i'm om Rogers and 5 days now and no problems yet. I have a backup of my efs folder can I just copy paste?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvertag:
Yes just make sure you set the correct permissions on the files. BTW You won't have a problem on Rogers. Canadian providers have all their black listed (lost/stolen) imei separated. They don't share it so a black listed imei on Rogers will work on Bell or Telus and vice versa. Only thing is that your phone can no longer be tracked by imei in case of emergency since its not the correct information but E911 will still locate you via GPS if you ever place a call.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] master2828:
Cool, thanks, what are the correct permissions? if i run fix permissions from kernel will that do the trick?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvertag:
That should do

EDIT: Checked my settings on nv_data.bin and its 777 (everything checked in RootExplorer)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] master2828:
So where exactly do i put the efs folder? I looked on the root of my phone and i dont see a efs folder currently, i tried to put the backup i have there but it didnt work still go the error. i dont even know how i got the backup i have actually lol, i just copied my whole phone contents to my pc before i wiped just in case and there is an folder /backup/efs...lucky i guess :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
It sounds like you have the backup that is sometimes made in the /sdcard (or /mnt/sdcard) folder, which is the internal storage you see when it's connected to your machine.

To see the /efs folder (assuming it exists), you would need to use either shell commands from inside ADB, or a root file explorer. If it's not there, you should just be able to dump the contents of that backup folder to a directory called /efs and go from there.

I spent some hours testing files responsible for BT audio streaming from TeamEOS CM10 builds (the feature works there) on the official CM10 nightly builds.

Finally after couple of the ROM re flashes I found what file can be transfered from the TeamEOS builds to get the BT audio streaming working.

The workaround to fix the issue:

1. Download and unzip the file: http://www32.zippyshare.com/v/8042271/file.html

2. Copy the file "audio_policy.conf" to device root/system/etc

3. Reboot the Prime

Let me know if this fix works also for you.

The files are taken from the Team EOS "EOS-tf201-20120814-38" build file. Thank you guys.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] craigacgomez:
Super... will check it out ASAP and will try to merge into CM10
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] craigacgomez:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ixemerix:
Does that mean, the BT hasn't worked yet for CM10 or is that a fix for the known BT-bugs?
