[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Basically you can tell by the issues you're having. Doing all the proper stuff to flash images etc and still having a booting/working device.

As far as a actual diagnostic tool I don't know of one. But it sure sounds like a hw issue to me.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pironi90:
I have the following problem: since a few weeks I'm unable to enter recovery.

This is what I do:

- shut down my phone

- press the power button while holding the volume up

- than I get a screen where I can choose from 4 options using the volume controls and selecting an option with the power button

- I select 'Recovery' and press the power button

- I get the usual black screen with Google logo and padlock

- but instead of getting into my recovery, I get a black screen with a Droid lying down, the 'chest' opened and some kind of small warning triangle above it..somebody who knows what I have to do??

Thanks in advance
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Reflash your recovery using fastboot.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pironi90:
And where can I find how to do this? I'm a total newbie for this kind of stuff and I found some hits on google (e.g. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1757146) but I'm actually a bit scared to damage my phone or something by doind something wrong or applying some method that's actually made for another device or so.. :s
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Flash custom recovery.img part

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/fastboot#Flash_Custom_Recovery.img

You need ADB (and ADB drivers installed, strongly recommend PDANet Android Drivers) and fastboot executable.

Custom recovery I suggest you use Clockworkmod Recovery.

I imagine your phone is already unlocked?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pironi90:
I think so yes, I could access recovery before if that's what you mean by unlocked :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UselessSniper001:
When u boot on the Google screen on the bottom centre does it have a padlock? If so then it is unlocked.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
You are entering recovery. Stock recovery

If you want a custom one either flash with fastboot or if you're rooted with a app. Goo manager. Rom manager etc.

Keep it mind that if you're on a stock ROM the custom recovery gets overwritten back to stock when the phone boots up the os

Q
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pironi90:
Then my phone is unlocked yes
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pironi90:
In installed the drivers and I installed the fastboot executable, but what do I have to do next? If I run the fastboot.exe, it just quickly shows a CMD-window and then disappears.

Edit:

I just discovered that, when I'm at the bootloader (I think it's called that way, the screen where you can select recovery), and I choose to reboot, I get the same 'error' as when I try to enter recovery.

Edit:

Alright, I was able to flash a new recovery, using cmd, but now when I try to enter my recovery, the phone gets stuck at a black screen with Google logo and padlock...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virzhiniya:
I have same problem as wolverine_2k who made the post. My nexus, can't start, I tried reboot and recovery but didn't work. After reboot or recovery I see Google logo, than Nexus screen and that is it. It didn't move to home screen and it stay with lighting screen all the time till I remove the battery. I can't power off it and don't know what to do. I can't transfer data with my PC (it don't recognize the device - only notice that "unknown device" is connected). Please any ideas?

P.S.: My English is not good, if someone answer do it simple please :)

Thanks!

[HTC Rezound] kevinvu34:
okay, first I did the wire trick and got my phone to s-off then noticed it was locked so I went through the unlocking using htcdev run through which should mean my phone is rooted and s-off, correct?

second, what is this whole thing with the MD5 thing...I went through pages and pages and it didn't say specifically where the MD5 was needed to be use. sorry, if I sound like an idiot for asking that question...my brain is fried from this whole process of s-off then had to unlock.

third, and lastly...I can't for the life of me update to one of the new roms like Business_ICS4.0.3_Sense4.0-v2.6, I thought after you s-off that you only had to rename it to PH98IMG and let it automatically load at the bootloader screen, it would go through process with the bar on the right hand of the screen filling up but once it was done it just stayed on bootloader screen...the only one rom that worked for me was the Global RUU4.03.605.2 from [ROM][08.20.12] Simplistic 3.0 [ICS Sense Global 3.6 - 4.03.605.2]....none of the others worked

thanks for any help you guys can give me
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Do not rename it. Just put it on your sdcard2 and flash in recovery. Factory reset and wipe cache first in recovery.

Will not install in bootloader that is ror kernels and ruu's etc. Not ROMs
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
1. When you have s-off on the top it should say "locked" because s-off > unlock. i would leave it locked.

2. MD5 is a number generated when a zip is made. when you download something off the internet, it has the ability to mess up and download incorrectly. The reason why people say to check the MD5 because certain stuff can brick your phone if it is incorrect. to check you can use a bunch of different programs on or off your phone. just search google for it.

3. Let me explain root vs s-off:

Root, well it is what it sounds like. Root means you will have root access to the lowest part of the system partition. Meaning you have the ability to rewrite the system OS like flashing different roms and themes or even installing apps to the system partition. (you dont need s-off to obtain root. just an unlocked boot loader that will let you get to that level.)

s-off, the "S" stands for security. The difference between S-on and S-off is that the bootloader is 100% open. This means you can not only gain root but you can change the inner core workings of the device. Kernels, recovery, bootloader, splash screens, and radios. Stuff that can brick your phone instantaneously, stuff that the manufacturer doesnt want you touching because they dont want to offer a free phone if you do end up bricking it.

3.1 when flashing a rom you always do it in recovery, unless you are returning the phone to stock then you would use an RUU

now this isnt a scare tactic, this is a learning process. Just be careful in what you put on your device and dont rush, take your time when it comes to modifying you phone. Always check the MD5 sums on things that you want to try, and ALWAYS read as much as you can on what you are about to do.
[HTC Rezound] kevinvu34:
I see, the problem I've having now is when I go into to recovery and let it load it show harddrive icon and green loading but then a black phone icon pops up with a red triangle(exclamation in the middle)
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
That means you have the stock recovery. You need to install a third party one. Like amon ra

[HTC Rezound] iamwalterwhite:
Read More

Clearly you haven't read up enough on what to do before messing with this phone. I recommend Scotty's noob guide. I think it's the best that you can find. You went s-off without figuring out that you need a recovery? One of the best pieces of advice I've ever gotten (for this particular process) is to read, read, read. It's not a joke. You sound like you are in over your head. I'm not trying to flame, but a few hours spent reading about this online would have cleared up a lot of your questions.
[HTC Rezound] dragon droid:
Agreed. He is correct about the reading. And read a lot. Read everything in the stickies and everything not in the stickies. Also read everything that is not a Rom thread. Then after all that reading , you can read the roms. Scott noob guide is good place to start I think also.

My only dabble with Windows Phone showed me that it was a very nice and slick UI that I really enjoyed using, but I had to have it plugged into my PC and run iTunes Zune to do anything with it.

It was locked and wouldn't accept 3rd party installations (but I expect that's not a problem to anyone that's heard of the search function), and was just unfriendly.

There's plenty of Android and Windows Phone fanboys about. You'll get arguments for both. The best bet is to have a play with lots of different phones and take into account the hardware as well as the OS. Just spend a day in a shop and bug the hell out of the assistants. That's what they're there for.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flyboyovyick:
Got my Nexus 7 a few weeks ago...

Here's my problems:

Rear casing creeks on the right hand side of the device (where the buttons are) but only slightly,

Lower half of the touch screen stops responding sometimes,

After exiting a game or app it takes me to the far left home screen instead of the middle one,

It has stopped rotating for some reason (probably an easy fix),

Sometimes there is the odd screen glitch, like flashing of lines across the screen for a split second,

And there is some white noise when headphones are plugged in. And i would have expected slightly better audio clarity, but its fine.

Other than that its great! The novelty of a tablet hasn't worn off yet :D

My tablet is running the stock JB and is not modified in anyway.

Maybe somebody could help me with some of these problems?

Thanks

Hi,

Recent owner of Galaxy S3 and I'm having the first big problem. After successfull pairing my BH 803 Nokia bluetooth headset i could instantly hear myself even without dialing any number. When I have tried to make a call i could only hear myself, the other party did hear the phone ringing but not my voice. Tried with another model of bleutooth headset, same result. Successfull pairing and contacts sync with my MKi9100 Parrot carkit too, but when i have tried to call somebody with the usual voice dial nothing happened. After looking at the S3 screen i saw this action started S Voice. Any suggestion ? Thanks in advance !

Later edit: After disabling S Voice, working flawlessly with the Parrot carkit voice dial command. Restartind, deleting and pairing again with both Nokia BH 803 and BH 208 headset models did not solve the problem of hearing myself.

Yes. Switching to edge while on stand by will definitely save a little battery (or a lot if your 3g signal is bad). But it might end up draining more battery using edge while you're actually using the data (takes longer to do things like web browsing).
