[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Rom is usually the firmware but custom rom may not include the modem .

Uses existing modem .

You will need to root your phone before installing Omega or any custom rom .

Best is to wait for Omega build after the full release of JB then just flash that over current .

JB will not be released to all and sundry on day one it will start the rollout on day one and gradually work its way eventually to all phones .

Flashing

Thanks jje. As I have already rooted and then installed a custom ROM over the official firmware, I thought it might be "better/cleaner" to do it from fresh. I have not great battery performance and still some redraw issues so I thought starting from scratch might be advisable. I would rather not though - I haven't' tried a restore from Titanium yet and not certain if it will recreate all my apps/widgets including their positions and data.

I'll wait for the release and then figure it out.

Adam.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Agree once JB is released and i decide on a rom it will be with a total wipe .

TB will create all apps but not layouts or folders organization .

A workaround is to install rom boot to recovery mounts and storage and format data .

Then go to your ICS Nandriod backup and advance restore data only will bring back layouts .

But you may find some apps FC or fail to open .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OldJamaica:
Hi!

After flashing my stock Gingerbread rom to CM9 (through CWmod) I decided I wanted to switch to a more stable ICS rom (was running an old version of CM9). This time I tried to use odin and got a fail (NAND), giving me the "Connect to kies" screen. Unable to get into recovery, but can get into download.

So after this I tried flashing a few kernels (after failing to use the softbrick recovery method on this forum), all of which passed and left me at the Samsung splash screen (still unable to get to recovery). I then tried flashing Siyah and lo and behold it allowed me to get into recovery, prompting me to flash FoxHound via zip (one of the only .zip roms I could find). After this I tried to use ODIN again, only to have it fail on me again. This time siyah would not even work, and after trying many other kernels (all of them saying they had passed) a earlier version of siyah worked, and I am now running the FoxHound rom that was on there.

I would quite like to go back to the official Gingerbread rom and then update through KIES, can anybody shed some light on whats happening? Do I have a NAND corruption even though I am able to use the phone at the moment with foxhound? If I wanted to put Gingerbread back on will ODIN play nice?

Thanks!

P.S. Did all the usual of using different cables and making sure kies is not running whatsoever!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarface1991:
Just download an official Gingerbread Firmware from Samfirmware and flash it through Odin. It should work. You will then loose CWM and Root of course but after that you should get updates via Kies.

And do not check Re-Partition in Odin when it`s not a 3 part Firmware.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
Maybe try mobile odin pro-that eliminates ALL pc problems.

[HTC Incredible S] WILLI120:
Hey guys, I just stumbled into sth really great! htc is releasing a new phone called Desire X. The great thing about it: It gets Sense 4.1, so I guess full Sense 4 and it has got the exact same resolution as the Incredible S!! So there won't be any resizing issues in the future, which will make the look of Sense 4 on our phones even better. Also I'm pretty sure it will get official JB support, so we will have that, too without any resizing issues. I searched for an English link and it's not the best but it should be enough so check it: http://www.ubergizmo.com/2012/08/htc-desire-x-htc-proto-specifications-leaked/

Im currently on the Rooted Stock FC09 rom and ive been having a problem with my music players not recognizing any music on the EX SD.. I also noticed on reboot that media scanner is not reading the EX SD.. Ive checked for the " nomedia" folder and did not see one..

Ive searched several posts, and havent found anything to help yet..
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilajrestnom:
This happened to me once before.... basically your phone does not ever scan for media on sd card right? I don't think I found a way to actually "fix" it but I was told to try an app called media scanner (or something like that). It didn't help me but you can try it. If it doesn't work I think u may need a new rom or reflash.

The .nomedia can be a hidden file. Make sure your file explorer is set to see hidden files. View it on a computer if possible.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Afwasmassi:
Hello people,

I was hoping somebody could help me, my phone got wet(stupid i know) and shut down because of the water.

I pulled the battery and put my phone in rice for a day, at first it wouldnt boot and kept refreshing the google logo, after awhile it started to boot normally (and work normally) except booting which took 2 or 3 google refreshes before it started bootanimation, and with the charger plugged in it took more(like 5).

Im not sure what is happening with booting, may be related to my next problem, the camera stopped working.

when i start up camera all i get is a black screen and my navbar buttons, no shutter button, no error or w/e just nothing. sometimes not even all the navbars show up.

Other then that the phone is working normal so i dont know if it is a soft- or hardware problem.

Does anybody know what is going on?

Id like to pull a logcat but it isnt working for me, says adb isnt a internal or external command after installing all the sdk tools etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lesicnik1:
It's likely that your camera module broke.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Afwasmassi:
Thx for input, if so, can i replace it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
I'd say chances are it's a hardware problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Well you can replace it yourself, but assuming that you've never done disassembling and stuff, I don't recommend you doing it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Afwasmassi:
I get your point, i was thinking more along the lines of getting it repaced..

maybe warranty? I looked for a water damage sticker and i couldnt find a single one, can sb tell me where it is supposed to be?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
You gotta pay Samsung to do it. Warranty doesn't cover that. If you're lucky, you can probably fix it from third party repair shop for a cheaper price

Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Franco Kernel, overclocked to 1.4GHz
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Afwasmassi:
How do you mean, it cant pass as a fault from samsung itself? Like 'the camera stopped working'
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
You mean, stone cold lying to cover up your own mistake and let somebody else pay for it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Well it's your fault, right? Plus, they'll know that something caused camera to stop working once they crack or open

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codya321:
Man me too, i was out running with my phone yesterday (use my phone for GPS and music while running), 2 miles into my run and it started POURING! my phone got pretty wet pretty fast. I pulled the battery, wrapped it up in my shirt and ran that fastest 2 miles of my life back to my truck to get my nexus somewhere dry... its been sitting in rice since yesterday afternoon.... im scared to power back up
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Afwasmassi:
thx for your input, i will take it to a local phone shop to see if they can get it fixed.

Kinda regret not getting insurance for it though.

Last question, would the broken camera module be the cause of the bootloopish behaviour?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Afwasmassi:
Know that feel bro. i was scared ****less. but still the camera broke.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ben.selinger:
Any update on this?

I have EXACTLY the same situation with a little more info. Seems weird that the same components die in the same manner with water damage. Some traces too close together?

My phone wasn't actually soaked, just very humid. Was in my jacket pocket while running in a downpour. Jacket is completely waterproof, unfortunately it wicks a lot of water off me and the goddamn pocket is made of the same breathable wicking material. Time I realised what had happened, there was a lot of moisture in the pocket. Phone still working but .....

Flash modules no longer works. This is why the camera app fails to start. There's no error in logcat aside from the application taking too long to respond. Will dig a bit deeper here shortly, but I just found it odd that the phone is so susceptible to moisture in one specific piece of hardware. I know this isn't a ... catastrophic design flaw but it IS something any good electronics manufacturer should note and take into consideration. If a bit of moisture causes this failure reproducibly, it should be considered a design flaw, and addressed as such.

Back to the OP though. Did your phone ever miraculously start working?

Could you test if your flash module works (install a flashlight app and turn on...)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrm43:
Leave it on the rice a couple more days. And in between try to replace rice with new one. I have read in this forums number of times people who have successfully dried out their phone waited longer, that is several days in rice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cdexsw:
I had an ogdroid take a swim in a Pool (i was pushed in). I left the phone & battery fully submerged in a bowl of rice for 2 weeks. I changed the rice out every to days. Reinserted battery and powered Up device and it when to bootloader. I sbf the phone....worked perfect as if it never went swimming.

The longer that you can leave it....the better. Oh and replace the water detection stickers. You can buy them just about anywhere on the net.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] McDastardly:
So here’s my story. I was playing around with my phone on CleanROM and noticed that I was unable to get to extended network anymore. So I backed up my phone and Odined back to stock. After having a minor panic attack when Odin failed a few times, I finally got the image to push through. Booted up and still was unable to get connected to extended network. So then I reprovisioned my SIM card. Booted back up an finally was able to see extended network again :). I then rooted my phone again and restored my backup and all is still working.

Now since I unlocked the bootloader before going back to stock and now restored my backup, is my phone still unlocked? When I open EZ-Unlock, it still shows as unlocked, but I thought that I would ask here too just to make sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beeholtz:
i figured you wouldnt be only because going back to stock it should put that boot image back on thats locked... not sure either

Should i update my phone to ICS from Gingerbread??

Or its not a good idea?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amankumar2508007:
Performance vs looks

IF you really want a beautiful experience(WITH LAG) of the interface(FOR A LITTLE WHILE) in lieu of the OVERALL SYSTEM PERFORMANCE then please UPDATE TO ICS.:p

BUT if you want to have a better experience(WITHOUT ANY LAG) with all of the phone's feature THEN STAY WITH THE GB.:angel:

I have tried almost every ICS ROM for the ARC and almost every ROM HAS A LAG(in the beginning it doesn't come into action but after some time when caching of system applications start it's the most HORRIBLE experience with the phone and sometimes you can't even use your phone for call or messaging (LIKE IT'S LAGGING LIKE HEELLL) ):crying:

SO it's upto you..what i think :confused:

I AM BACK TO GB FROM ICS

REST IS YOUR CHOICE:good:

plz hit thanks if i helped:D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XTCrefugee:
ICS consumes more resources, there's no way round that, but a properly configured Arc can easily run ICS with ZERO lag. You do need to be careful what apps you have running in the background - see this post for more details: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30809767&postcount=11

Personally, I would never go back to GB. My phone is so much more stable on ICS, you can run a number of tablet-only apps, battery life is significantly improved, etc.

I've not tried the latest Sony rom, but previous ones have not been great - too bloated and sluggish. Custom roms are IMHO definitely the way to go for ICS on the Arc.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaluniguni:
When I bought my Arc S LT18i, the ICS update was already available. I started using it with gingerbread but then, when I already had the apps I wanted, I decided to update my phone to ICS (4.1.A.0.562). Everything was ok until I booted my phone for the second time after the update. Couldn't unlock my sim and it just freezed. Had this problem for a month. I was so mad! I booted into safe mode, restored using PC Companion but the problem didn't go away. But then came the 2nd ICS update (4.1.B.0.431) and it just fixed things. The 3rd update (4.1.B.0.587) didn't bring any changes as far as I can see. But I still recommend you update to ICS. Or just flash CM9 stable. :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheNegotiator012:
Let's just not ask people, try it and see if you like it. Don't get me wrong but we can't help you as we all see ICS differently so you must try it out and see if it suits your everyday life. Also if you don't like it, you can always flash back to GB. Getting the root is simple enough and to find it, Google. Right now I suggest getting ICS because in my point of view, ICS is fast, sleek and beautiful.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navid0308:
Let me tell you now to get perfect ics. Once updated to ics, root using eroot toolkit n then install cwm using x-parts. Then go to cwm, flash odexed notification led fix, flash jb adreno drivers. Then boot phone. Now ul have a lot of smoothness and notification bug won't be there. U can then also install titanium backup n remove bloatware for even more speed. For the WiFi dropping problem, flash kernel of .13 firmware. Then ul have the ultimate ics experience. Sony's ics update is incomplete. Do all this n then it'll be a proper update!

CM10 is cool but it is not stable enough to use as a daily driver yet. People will say that it is, but in my opinion screen flickers/potential data loss when on LTE (just the most recent bugs I've seen pop up) does not constitute "daily driver".

As far as back here on the Stock based roms Free is really good. I think Blazer's stuff is probably very close but Clark is a bit more on top of his updates. Not that I'm saying Phantom (Blazer) isn't but I'm sure people have lives....

With all the work that Freeza does I wish he had an up to date ROM with all his stuff we could try out, but I guess I'm more happy he's providing awesome mods.
