[Acer Iconia A500] Core645:
Hello all,

My mother got an a500 about seven months ago and the other day she put it to charge and the next day it wouldn't turn on at all, just a black screen. When the charger is plugged in, the power button glows white. Take it off charge and the light goes out and that's all it will do.

I have tried searching through multiple forums and I have tried all the solutions I have found. I tried pressing the reset button near the usb plug, I tried a hard reset by holding the power and volume + buttons multiple ways, i.e. I held them both for thirty seconds, held the vol button and pressed power for three seconds and about every other iteration I could find. Nothing happened not even a vibration like from what I've read it is supposed to do. I downloaded the update.acer.zip file and put it on an sd card and tried flashing it by holding the power and vol - buttons, still nothing.

The tab has not been moded in any way, however, God only knows what apps my mother way have downloaded to it...

I am at my wits end and I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or what. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am a noob so it wouldn't surprise me if I am not doing the flashing right or if I have the wrong files, all the links I found on the forums were non functional and I had to download it from filecorp.com.

Thanks in advance!
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
The white light when plugged to the charger just indicates it's fully charged.

Test 1. Press and hold the PWR button for 7 seconds, release, wait a couple seconds to see if it responds, then press and hold for another 7 seconds. See if it responds.This is to check if the tab is in Sleep of Death (SOD)

Test 2. Using a paper clip, press and hold the pinhole reset (near USB) and then press and hold PWR. After 4 seconds release PWR, 1 second later release pinhole. See if is vibrates and goes into APX mode, (tab should vibrate once with a black screen and white PWR button) if it does, press and hold PWR only for a few seconds. Wait a couple seconds, then PWR on tab by holding PWR about 6 or 7 seconds.

Test 2 is just to see if the tab responds to anything,

If you can't get any response from the above, then it's best to turn it in for repair.

[Acer Iconia A500] yaworski:
@Moscow Desire: he pressed the reset button already so it is probably not SoD. Unless SoD makes reset button unresponsive too.

My tab does not vibrate when entering APX mode at all. Only the white power button LED turns on and the screen stays off.

@Core645: try this at first

- disconnect charger so the LED turns off

- hold power button for about 5 seconds

If the power button LED turns white and nothing else is happening then your tab is stuck in APX mode. You can confirm this by connecting micro USB cable from your PC. If you have windows it'll ask for drivers for Nvidia Download Mode or something like that.

Then check what Moscow Desire suggests with the reset button. I only ask you do my check at first because by holding reset you would achieve the same result and you wouldn't know if it is stuck in APX or you just forced it to APX by holding reset button.

any luck with the cm10 yet? I am on the cyanogen 7.2 and i am kinda bored of the interface need a change but there are no stable roms besides that

Is the cm10 going to be stable any sooner?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
If you're sick of Gingerbread (like CM7), there are plenty of stable and feature-ful Ice Cream Sandwich (including CM9) ROMs to try in the development forums. Aside from CM, there are also AOKP and AOSP ROMs to try. There are 4 decently stable JellyBean (including CM10) ROMs in the development forums as well, including 2 AOKP JellyBean ROMs. I strongly advise that you start by searching in the development forums yourself.

Additionally, I'm pretty sure you're posting in the wrong forum; this belongs in Q&A, not Development.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ai6908:
Yea they will become stable eventually...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prospect565:
Is there any particular through which i can find all these roms for DHD?

Secondly, in most of the roms either the bluetooth is broken or the camera is buggy and I use both of these features so that's the reason why I asked for a stable rom like the cm7 because it is completely working and aa stable rom
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WordsworthESP:
Yes, look.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
There is a sticky at the very top of the forum that indexes all the available ROMs and links to them; doesn't get much simpler than that.

I have had no problems with either bluetooth or camera on any ICS ROMs since I first rooted my phone a month ago. JB ROMs recently got both working with minor bugs. READ the threads; they update. Each ROM OP usually includes an updated feature list. Then read at least the last 10 pages or so of the thread.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prospect565:
Sorry for bothering u but is the ice cold sandwich 8.5 stable? And what about the battery life?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
Back up your current ROM with nandroid and flash it. "Stable" and "good battery life" mean different things to everyone; I felt it was plenty stable, but see for yourself. If you don't like it, just put your backup back.

Hello everybody, i'm new and i'm Italian (sorry for my bad English)

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 GT-P3100 (3g+wi-fi) and i want a costum rom because i see some lag with the original and i don' t want all of these useless apps from Samsung..

I have a question for the expert:

I use my tablet EVERYDAY for messaging, and calling (it's my personal tab-phone) , i don't want to lost these 2 very usefull features..

So, are this rom:

Stock Rooted De-Odexed-Base

CM9

CM10

compatible for call and sms?

I'm a newbie with this tablet (i purchased it in 20/08/2012 and i have only the root) , but i have some experience about ROM because i have a LG optimus one rooted @CM10 unofficial :)

Thanks all
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mohamedselim:
Yes i tried the three in my 5100 which has also phone functions, sms and 3g and all functions work good do not worry may be somewhat bluetooth problems in cms but more smooth i recommend cm10 i use it now
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aliendex:
Thanks you Mohamedselim!

What about bluetooth?

Like the bluetooth transfer or the bluetooth adaptor like headset or mic?

I don' use the second function, also, sometimes i transfer file with bluetooth to other device
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mohamedselim:
Bluetooth send is good bluetooth receive so so this is the only problem found till now no other problems i think will improve with time as other nightly builds come

cm10 found in www.teamhacksung.org do not forget to flash cwm 6.0.1.0 or cwm 6.0.1.0 before cm10 or stay in cwm 5.5.0.4 for cwm9

cm9 for 3100 http://teamhacksung.org/wiki/index.php/CyanogenMod9:GT-P3100:How_to_install

cm10 for 3100 http://teamhacksung.org/wiki/index.php/CyanogenMod10:GT-P3100:How_to_install

read full operation carefully before proceeding

if you flashed cwm6 then make a nandroid backup again before flashing as backups made with cwm 5 not restored with cwm6 if you want to revert to stock easily
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aliendex:
I write your original private message because now captcha works good!

Hi ;)

When I am in rom manager the first options is "Install ClockworkMod Recovery" so I just press it, I select my model (gt-p3100) and it automatically download the necessary files and install CWM.

Now I remember that i flash immediatly CWM 6.0.1.0 with root :D sorry, my bad! I have never have CWM 5 but ALWAYS CWM 6!!

But first time I have install rom manager I try "install ClockworkMod Recovery" but it frezze my tablet, after i just press "fix permission" and I install CWM only because rom manager tell me i haven't a CWM version on my tablet!

I' ve just flash CM10_25/08/2012 nightly! it is so beautiful and REALLY fast! I have delete some system applications like "news and weather" and "movie studio" because i don't use and i made a backup of the .apk..

Right now i'm using Apex Launcher because I have a little familiarity

I don't know why in the official thread first post in the photo there is the tablet UI down, and in mine is at the top of the screen! And there isn't the option like in my LG P500 for "tablet bar"

Why? :( now i take a screen for explain

But i have a question: I have the backup of the original rom 4.0.4 in "/mnt/sdcard/clockworkmod" but there is a folder named "backup" with some .img file and a folder named "blobs" which contains A LOT OF file (4381 files, 2674 folders and 1,5 GB)

Is this two folders (backup and blobs) the backup of my previus original version? Can i save a copy in my computer for more accuracy and for take 1,5 Gb free?

Thank you in advance!

Ah, another question: are there a framework for the tablet ui? just a .zip to flash in recovery, i don't want difficult things

I notice that now i can charge my tablet with computer port, just beautiful if it's real!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aliendex:
Sorry for the update:

I set 133 dpi in build.prop and now it's okay, but the text is too small, and in setting I enlarge the caracters :)

Now it's all ok, I need to buy a new memory (my 2 gb class 2 suck)

I think a 32 Gb class 10 micro sd by Samsung is good for music and much other ;)

The battery is ok, I can do a complete day with normal use like messagging ( 14-15 hours), internet messagging (whatsapp: 7 hours) call (1-2 hours a day) internet in wi-fi (20-22 hours) internet with my sim (3g or H 1 hour) and some other stuff

Now with this CM10 i can charge my tablet with the usb port from the computer! really helpfull for me

It is brilliant to see this CM10 in action

I change the original bootanimation because it's crappy and lag very much.. i put the CM10 bootanimation and it's ok

I think i will not flash a new kernel because the one'st I see in the forum is specific for overclocking but not some interesting/new features, only hazard

Now I'm in peace with myself :fingers-crossed: my tablet is amazing and i don't want anything else!

Only more CM rom with juicy news

EDIT: Only a problema appear:

Stock Cm 10 gallery doesn't sincronize my photo from Google+ :( damn.. i search another gallery or take the stock gallery from ICS
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benkxda:
From the beginning, I used a few days the stock ROM, then Tab2Lite, what really did it's job very well, then CM9, then CM10 and back to CM9, which seems currently the best working CM Version with great battery life. My p3110 is sold but remains on my desk with sleeping CM9. On Sunday 26. August 1 am it finished loading (100%) and is now on 30%. I only switched it on for checking battery every day. So I think that's pretty good.

But Tab2Lite was also very good. But if you don't like big ROMs with (less) bloatware, I suggest CM9. I also heard from Paranoid Android ROMs, probably that one will be fine as well.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aliendex:
I think i will test CM10 for the moment and after i flash CM9 only for see what it changes

Thaks all for the help!

Sent from my chair using an internet connection
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benkxda:
With the CM10 nightlies increases the functionality of CM10 very quickly. I would suggest to try in a different order, first CM9 and than the smoother CM10. Than you probably want to stay with CM10 and you don't have to flash again.

But give us a feedback anyway.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aliendex:
Thank you ;)

I found CM10 a really good costum ROM, for speed, really rare lag and it has what I really need in my tab.

There is only a problem: the gallery of CM10 don't sincronize my Google+ photos and if I press the options it display a blank page without any options or informations..

I think this problem is resolved by using another version of the gallery, like the stock 4.0.4 or something like this.

My original backup have some .img files and a lot of folders and I can't extract the gallery.apk

I can download the CM9 zip and take out the gallery.apk but I don't know if it work

In play store there is a porting for the old version of android that they can have a similar ICS gallery but it's not free..

I think this problem is only the smallest for developer of CM10 but for me it's a big problem because I have a lot of photo in Google+ only because I know I can have in my phone by just adding my gmail account...

Can anyone know if this problem is solved by the newest 2 version of CM10? (20120827 and 20120828 version)

(I have 20120825 version, 20120826 still doesn't exist in ROM manager, I think a bug version)

Second problem: if I turn the tablet in air mode it close the Wi-Fi connection, but after I switch ON the wireless it's OK :) idk why it can turn off the Wi-Fi by turn off the sim transmissions...

Just noticed this new bumper case as I was looking through their site.

http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...galaxy-s3-case-ultra-bumper-color-series.html

No reviews up yet so what do you guys think?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DOG666:
Look pretty nice, but not my thing, for that price I'd rather get a full body case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] adamboyd83:
I tried out a bumper case when I first got my S3. It was the Belkin version. To me it just didn't feel right. I don't think bumper cases work for this phone. Its not shaped right for it. The iPhone because it has flat sides. Our phones have too much curve.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Hound88:
I think you guys are right. I just bought the Belkin bumper today and it just feels odd on this phone.

I guess I'll be picking up a Neo Hybrid when they fix the button issue in a couple weeks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
I placed an order for one, just to see how it feels since I never used a bumper case on S3. I'm guessing I will get it sometime next week with the "Surprise Gift" SGP is offering right now. I wonder what it is... i hope it's not another kuel stylus :/

@Hound88

SGP customer service told me button issues are fixed ONLY on Neo Hybrid - Jade Blue. Infinity White and the Rubine Red Color Series are suppose to be in stock later on this week.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Hound88:
Cool, let us know how you like it. Good news about the Neo in Jade Blue as it's the one I'll be ordering. What's the difference between the two Neo Hybrids? One is the Lumi which is not the one I want because I like the purple back better.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
Definitely will keep you update with SGP bumper case. No difference except for colors. I have the infinity white color series. I actually didn't like the purple but it grew on me. It looks actually lot better than dark grey lumi series :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Hound88:
Yeah, I definitely like the purple back better but wish they had the sparkling blue border instead of the jade.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tehsprayer:
I had the same problem with neo hybrid and they are shipping me a new one when they come out with a new one (I bought the white one previous) on the 23rd I got a shipping number so either you are wrong or i'm getting a different colour.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] IcOpRo:
I had also the NEO Hybrid and traded it in for the Modello series, since they had problems with the buttons, they said they are working on fixing that , so im sure ill get that again when it comes out
[Galaxy S III Accessories] VikingoRMCF:
They look nice but the color choices are horrible, very girly.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
OMG!!! Q_Q bastards... now they posted new LUMI Series Bumpers...

http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...-galaxy-s3-case-ultra-bumper-lumi-series.html

that grey with sparkling blue or infinity white looks absoutely beautiful! I guess i will be returning mine as soon as i get it DAMN IT!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Tomatoes8:
I agree. SGP is my favorite case company but they are really pissing me off with these color choices. My Nocturne Black Modello looks great and I would like to get a Neo Hybrid but they only have those bright and fruity colors. I know that Samsung was trying to be different when they chose their colors for the S3 but that doesn't mean that the case companies have to go that route too.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
The infinity white and rubine red are good looking colors and no way are they fruity

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
Just recently, my Auto Rotate function broke.

I noticed it failing intermittently over the last couple of weeks, but didn't think anything of it, as I thought it was a setting issue.

But then the other day it failed completely.

The camera is stuck in Landscape mode, but the rest of the phone functions in Portrait mode.

I can't change either.

When I started trouble shooting a couple of days ago, I did the following:

- Power cycled the S3. Didn't fix the issue.

- recalibrated Gyro sensor. Still broken.

- Pulled battery for 30 seconds, reinstalled and rebooted phone. Auto Rotate was still broken. I repeated the process, and auto rotate started working again. But only for a couple of minutes, then it broken again.

- Repeated the above process, worked and then broke again.

- I reset my S3 to Factory Default, but Auto Rotate is still broken.

- Auto Rotate completely broken at this point.

I called Sprint, created an eticket, and went to the Sprint store. They checked it out, and verified that Auto Rotate is broken. They are ordering me a replacement S3 Pebble Blue, 32GB device. Hopefully I'll get a new device, and not a refurbed.

I don't know why Auto Rotate broke, but I hope it is not a widespread issue, as I'd hate for it to keep breaking.

Auto Rotate used to be a simple function, but Samsung added a few options to the Auto rotate feature, maybe complicated the way it works, which is prone more to breaking the feature. I don't know.

I just noticed that my Screen Off while on a call is not working. I checked the appropriate setting.

I'm unsure when exactly that function broke, and I don't think it's related to the Auto rotate function, as it's a different sensor.

I used to be able to cover the sensor with my hand, and the screen would shut off, but not anymore.

Anyway, if anyone else is having the above issue(s), it may not be a setting issue, but a hardware failure.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
That was one of the first things I made sure of.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mnhertz26:
Are you running a custom launcher like apex or holo? If so, the launcher settings will override your phone settings. If you have a custom launcher, make sure that auto rotate is enabled in both the launcher and system settings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
As I mentioned, I reset the S3 to Factory Default, and still have the issues.

The Auto Rotate is still broken, as is the Screen Off sensor during calls.

I am running ADW Launcher Ex, but the above doesn't work with either the stock or ADW Launcher.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mnhertz26:
As for the proximity sensor, make sure that you don't have any apps that use the sensor as a function such as "wave control".
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
No apps, as my apps are at a minimum since I'm swapping out phones Tuesday.

I didn't even bother to Root this S3 again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rbtrucking:
Sounds to me like you just got a defective device. Hopefully the replacement will be good! I have not heard of many problems with this phone at all so I am sure you will be good to go with the next one.

[HTC One S] phositadc:
Applied screen protector today. I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10. Finger glides over it exceptionally well and it looks pretty good, but there is some very slightly noticeable grain on light grey or white backgrounds. It does a great job reducing glare and fingerprints. Overall that benefit outweighs the slight con of the slight graininess, so I'll probably stick with it. I really can't stand the fingerprint and oil buildup on clear glossy screen protectors.
