[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mohamedselim:
Ota: over the air those only appear if you search for updates via setting of you device not via sammobile if you find update this way so just follow instructions in the screen to flash but this kind of updates needs stock firmware and mostly stock recovery not cwm (custom)

If file has extension as zip so could be mostly installed via cwm recovery but make sure about instructions in the thread you downloaded from as it may be just zipped and need to be unzipped first and inside the zipped file you may find file with extension tar or tar.md5 to be flashed via pc odin or mobile odin or heimdall for mac or linux

If file has extension tar or tar.md5 so flashed as mentioned via pc odin or mobile odin or heimdall via pda section in pc odin you need to put device in download mode and need samsung drivers installed
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chapitron:
It's a zip with update-script, so I suppose that it's for recovery. Ok, thanks

Current: JBear, S-off, HBoot 2.21.2121, Radio 1.22.10.0310r, Running 3.14.605.12 71ORD.

I don't want to brick. What are the steps needed from this starting point to get to a global rom? Came from Moto phones where we didn't seem to have so many options. Will being JBear cause issues? Will I lose s-off?
[HTC Rezound] Kratz17:
I was in your same state two days ago I just downloaded and ran the global ruu twice and everything went fine. Just make sure after you run the ruu twice before the first boot of the phone make a factory reset from within hboot

No you wont get s on after the global ruu. You stay s off but locked but all you have to do is flash the jbear hboot and you are unlocked and s off.

I know that 4.0.4 ICS stock firmware has been released as ftf already..

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny80y:
OK, so I know these are 2 different form factor's but..... I have a tfp and a n7 and for some reason my n7 is soooo much better at browsing than the prime. It's so quick I just don't want to mess with the prime. They are both running cm10 so I'm a bit confused. What are your opinions or thoughts?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaneydroid:
If you already have both and aren't needing to choose between them, why is there a vs?

Surely you are in the best position to decide that?

Speaking personally, I wouldn't go for a transformer at all. I would go for a cheaper tablet and have a small laptop/netbook and use them for different purposes.

If I had the transformer I know I would end up taking the keyboard/dock everywhere with me just in case I need/want it, therefore I may as well have a laptop.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny80y:
Well perhaps not versus but like you say I always want to take the dock and all.... then its so bulky I'm like I might as have well brought the i7 laptop. Just curious as to how many people are going for a smaller tab versus a large one.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slybunda:
are you using the same browser on both devices and are they both running jellybean?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsuppa:
Same for me have both and barely touch the prime since i got my N7. Other than comic books and magazines I use N7. Although I do read both on the N7 when I'm not home since I take it with me everywhere. 7 inch tablet is so much more convenient. And at $250 I'm not scared of it breaking or losing it like I am with my $650 prime + dock.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny80y:
Yea, Same.... Not sure why it seems to load faster in the n7.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtfdroidlol:
Try a quick search for IO bottleneck over in the prime forums.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyijedi:
I own both also. What you're experiencing is normal. The Prime is garbage. We got a lemon.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atticusmas:
Honestly, other than the dock on the prime(which makes it better for school), the n7 is better, and you can just buy a keyboard and mouse(?) for the n7 and it's basically a prime for a lot less money.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny80y:
Well I wouldn't say lemon.... I think the prime is the only full tab I would buy at the moment..... But after playing with the n7 it's really great...well awesome for £150
[General Questions and Answers] Lola_samsung:
Hi everybody,

I have Samsung i9001 smartphone and the other day I got an opportunity to exchange it for Nokia Lumia 710.

I really like how fluid and fast Nokia (and Windows phone) is, but I didn't had any chance to try Nokia so I'm not really sure which phone to choose.

I use my phone for surfing, texting, game playing ...

Wouldn't like to change my phone for something worse.

Any thoughts?
[General Questions and Answers] Remcotjuuh:
Hmm, looking at what you're wanting to do with it I would say the Lumia, because, although I highly prefer Android, you only seem to do simple things with it and not flashing ROMs and so. BUT, the problem is that you have to buy one, and I don't think it's worth the money to switch, so, in this case, I recommend you stick to your own.

I am trying to return my glaxy s3 back to stock and it just won't work. I downloaded the stock firmware from this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1737855

I put the phone in download mode

open odin

click pda and search for the file.

First it wouldn't find the file, so I checked my download folder and found it

Samsung-Updates.com-GT-I5500_TIM_1_20111103150347

It seemed fishy, so I went back and redownloaded the file again making sure I was getting the SGH-T999 stock

Tried odin again with no luck at odin seeing the file.

I opened the file and found this file

I5500XXKJ3_I5500XXKJ3_I5500XXTIMKJ3_HOME

Odin sees this file but as soon as i hit start I get an error on the phone saying

Unsupported dev_type

SO what is going on here?

I'm so tired of seeing these posts in development! The OP's know very well this is the wrong place, but they think their problem is more important then anyone else's, so this is the best place to get quick attention. READ THE RULES, OR DON'T POST ANYWHERE AT ALL!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The Archangel:
For being a senior member, you need to relax and just report these things. No need to flip out like you did.

@OP. Before you post, check what section your in. Development is straight development, not asking how T return to stock.

No excuse... the issue was I was walking out the door and looking things up and really thought I was in the qa section when.. If a mod could simply just move the post. again sorry for posting in the wrong section

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] androholic:
I wouldn't consider that flipping out. There was no name calling, no degrading of anyone, and definitely no foul language used. It happens so frequently, that if the questions are just answered, then it encourages others to do the same. I'm not the XDA police, and I gladly & politely help new users all of the time in any way possible, but if the rules are continued to be disregarded then there's not much point in having them. I think there's a difference between flaming /trolling someone and telling them something firmly so that they won't forget it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The Archangel:
You may not consider flipping out since you typed it, an its your post. In my eyes you slightly did.

If you have a problem with something, just report it an leave it alone.

Also if you want to continue this PM me.
[Nexus 7 General] 84tdan:
Just noted that I have maybe a defective screen (or GPU?).

Sometimes when using apps like XDA, browsing or apps with a lot of white background I noticed black lines (1pixel width).

When you holding in portrait mode their appear on the bottom side of he screen, and are horizontal. Always very fast, they appear and then go very fast. Sometimes its only one horizontal line,sometimes two.

When you hold in landscape mode they appear on the whole screen (vertical lines). It happened to me know two times while typing this post.

I'm full stock, not rooted. I have the power plug on and charging, maybe some power oscillation? Will see if happens without charger.
[Nexus 7 General] AufDerAutobahn:
I thought I was going crazy when I noticed this! I legitimately see black lines down the screen for about a second just slightly out of my peripheral, and then they're gone.
[Nexus 7 General] redmonke255:
Happens on xda and chrome, it's a known problem. Some people say other kernels help get rid of it. I think it's just a software bug.

Sent from my paranoid Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 General] Keanen:
Same issue here.
[Nexus 7 General] jamesst20:
Haven't noticed that issue on my side :)
[Nexus 7 General] kidrobot52:
OK good I Thought I was going crazy. Other then that perfect nexus:)
[Nexus 7 General] andymihail:
I also noticed these kind of lines. It happened while watching some videos on YouTube. Also on XDA, portrait mode, on the upper side of the screen. Anyone has a software solution for this? I am just afraid not to get some permanent lines like this.
[Nexus 7 General] 84tdan:
So... seems like that the problem appears for me only when I'm charging.

Anyone can confirm that the lines appears without charger plugged in?
[Nexus 7 General] andymihail:
Yes, the lines appear without charging.
[Nexus 7 General] newcdn:
Happens to my Nexus 7 also. They appear very briefly, like for half a second. Usually in the bottom half of the screen (I can't even tell if it appears at the same spot - it appears so briefly, but I do think I have seen it once or twice in the upper half). I have seen it on xda app, Tapatalk app, and Chrome blank page. I think I may have seen it on the home screen also.

On my Tapatalk app I turned the background to dark gray and font to white, but I have still seen it 1-2 times, so it doesn't just happen with white backgrounds.

Don't know if its a software issue and can be fixed with updates or should I get it exchanged? It will be hard to make the store understand what the problem is since it is quite rare, happens to me only a couple of times a day or so (although I have been playing Angry Birds extensively recently to see if it app specific or not, and I have yet to see on Angry Birds - I actually have not seen it anywhere for the last couple of days since I started playing AB).
[Nexus 7 General] veeman:
I only get them in the Tapatalk app. And it doesn't happen often enough to be annoying so I don't really care. :)
[Nexus 7 General] Abu-7abash:
Here here!!

Had them on Tapatalk, dolphin browser and on Plume to name a few. Like others said though, they ain't frequent tto become a PITA but are still noticeable.
[Nexus 7 General] Metallice:
I swear these threads are going to appear every week talking about the same problems that have already been discussed many times over.

As said many times before, this is a common issue with tegra 3. The one x line flickering was fixed with an update.

Or you can download a custom kernel with an increased panel clock rate and be happy.

So anybody else have screen raise on the left or is it just me???? ;) just messing.
[Nexus 7 General] newcdn:
Saw it on Angry Birds too. So its just not on xda or Tapatalk apps.
[Nexus 7 General] PROlific666:
A custom kernel does fix it. I had this problem until I flashed the motley kernel and it went away. Then I when I went to the paranoid android ROM I didn't know at the time but it changed my kernel back to stock... I didn't realize it had changed until I noticed the lines again. So far I have used the Trinity kernel and motely's and both have solved the screen tearing problem. If you don't want to flash a custom kernel I'm sure google will fix it in a future update. Thankfully its not a hardware problem.
[Nexus 7 General] newcdn:
Really happy that the problem can be fixed with a software update.

Yep, I've seen it happen with the xda app, and it looks like it flickers a line for a second and goes away.
[Nexus 7 General] Mwinggg:
i have this as well, a dark horizontal line appears in a flash of second at random time and place, i thot it is the flicker issue ppl talked about?

but i dont have the whole screen flicker tho i have tried google map zooming or panning with gps on and weak wifi signal and auto brightness off and 15%
[Nexus 7 General] CokeFever:
Same here, but I used to have similar issue on my HTC Sensation, and I think it's a video driver issue that hopefully can be solved by updates... :silly:
[Nexus 7 General] jamesst20:
Yeah I saw them today, don't think it is a device bug but a software bug
[Nexus 7 General] simacca:
Have noticed this on my c80 model (rooted, but stock rom). Everything else works fine apart from the random lines.

Am hoping this is a software problem.
[Nexus 7 General] nuflood:
happens here too. most noticeable when the background is white.
[Nexus 7 General] luzifers:

[Nexus 7 General] mozzer2k4:
+1 same here too, bought last week C8O stock from the uk(tesco), has only done it once for less than a second on chrome with a white screen, lets just hope it is a software bug
[Nexus 7 General] mythamp:
Its the bloody crappy tegra 3. It did the same with the one x. My only question is why is Google failing on such quality testing on every single product they bring out with their initials on it. I think with the exception of nexus s, the rest are plagued with hardware issues. The tergra 3 issue should have been already considered in the planning stages of the device, Onex pretty much got ruined because of it. There will be a software "work around" to resolve it, I still blame the hw.
[Nexus 7 General] mjordan79:
Happens to me too. I really hope it's a software problem. 4.1.2 doesn't fix it.
[Nexus 7 General] simacca:
It seems to have lessened in 4.1.2 for me, but still annoying. I suppose we will see if its hardware or not with future updates.

[Nexus 7 General] veeman:
Happens often in the XDA app. I believe it's a kernel issue. I had the same problem on 4.1.1 until I updated to Motley's kernel. Now I'm on stock rooted 4.1.2 and getting the lines again.

But it keeps the color of the picture on the screen.

Does the custon kernel fix it? If it does which one? And could you post the link please?

I am experiencing the same problem, I am on stock non rooted rom and I believe is started happening after the update to 4.1.2 as I haven't experienced this on previous version of rom I guess but I am not sure though.

Any chance of having this fixed for free? Does one year manufacture warranty cover that as well?

Thanks.

I don't think that 4.2 has fixed it. I updated via OTA to 4.2 yesterday, and have seen the black lines twice today in the Kindle app.
[Nexus 7 General] Bl@ck:
Mine has a vertical line, but only appears in portrait, in landscape there's none, i saw the screen flashing a couple of times with black horizontal bars, but nothing serious, it happened for a split second.

The strange thing is that the vertical black line in portrait is always there, also in bootloader and recovery, but it disappears in some apps, like in Instragram or Google Now, if i search something and pop out the keyboard, the black line ends were the results "on white background" start.

I seriously don't know what to do with my N7, i want to RMA it but i heard that Asus gives C7OK units, and those have worse issues (screen crackling, etc.), maybe i'll try and flash one of the latests kernels available and see if this solves the problem.

I still haven't seen it yet since updating to 4.2

[HTC Incredible S] benutzer001:
okay guys this is weird. til now i have only read the forums and did think about rooting my phone to install a custom rom because the latest htc update made my phone so horrible. but now anything changed cause this just happened:

i got an sms (using the preinstalled sms app) and answered to it. send the phone to "sleep" (?) by pressing power button once, like always. laying the phone back on the table, continuing playing darksiders2. maybe 5 minutes later the display brightens up by itself like if an incoming call but nothing happens. i grab the phone and try to press anything or swipe to see whats going on, but no input gets recognized. plus the button row doesnt get lighten up like normally. confused i tried to press the power button but even that shows no reaction. it just stayed that way, nothing i could do. because i had one freeze under 2.3.5 or so i took the battery out to do a hard reset. booting up again gets me now into the screen i only read here before: where you have to go to install roms from zips etc. but i have booted normally, without pressing the volume keys. the title row says: locked, security warning. rebooting the phone out of this only gets me back here. i dont get it. i mean i know this version is messed up but what is this? my phone is broken and i havent even tried to unlock or anything else it... my god. i dont know what to do. next week is coming up and i dont have multiple phones.

has anyone any idea? please help!

ps: please forgive me any language flaws, english isnt my mother tongue.
