[HTC Rezound] fatfruitcake:
So if i wanted to s-off the phone, is the only way to do that through the wire trick? i tried doing the Perm Root in the all-in-one kit, but i cant really get it to work. I got it to flash the zip, but still says s-on. anyone had luck with the all-in-one tool to root?
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
S off has nothing to do with root.

If you want soff you have to do the wire trick.

You dont need soff for root.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] completetech:
I just recently purchased a Galaxy Tab 4G (T Mobile Version). I rooted it already and looking to possibly get rid of my iPad 64GB. What I am looking at is a plan on TMobile.com under prepaid that is their Web Exclusive, that youneed to go into a WalMart or tmobile store. Anyhow. It is unlimited web, and text.

Wondering if i get a sim card like this for the $30 they want a month if that will be my best option.

My Reasoning:

I use my current tablet for having customers sign work orders, however we also need to take pictures and upload them to a web portal. The iPad is not capable of this, thus far as I have tried numerous things. I am using my little Optimum V as a WiFi hotspot onsite and for music. Anyhow thats the short of it.

Thanks for any help you can give!

[Eee Pad Transformer General] jborne:
Please help me unbrick my soft bricked Asus SL101 tablet.

I'm normally pretty good at rooting and upgrading android phones etc to custom ROMs and decided to install CM9 on it recently.

Rooted using PERI

Installed CM9 using PERI

Rebooted into CM9

Screen appeared telling me it cannot access my encrypted user data partition

Gave it permission to re-format that partition (I had nothing on it that wasn't on my PC anyway)

Tablet reboots and returns to screen asking to format encrypted partition

(rinse and repeat)

From everything I have read the solution seems to be re-installing the factory Asus ICS firmware, logging into the encrypted partition and unencrypting it. However, all of my attempts to install the stock Asus ICS firmware (9.2.1.27) have failed as follows.

[B]assert failed: write_raw_image ("/tmp/blob", "staging"[/B])

I researched that and found that I could create a dummy "staging" through ADB.

(post 3 of this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1235724)

So I set up Android SDK and ADB, but running the commands produces no result.

C:\Users\Joe\adb shell
~# mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /staging
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /staging
~# exit
exit

I then run the zip install in Rogue again, but get the same result.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mod2max:
[UPDATED]

Bootloaders...

1. i9000 was launched with Éclair so the bootloader was of course an Éclair bootloader?

My answer: Yes (Or a Froyo one... before Froyo came out).

2. People who upgraded to Gingerbread from Éclair without upgrading via Kies had to flash a Gingerbread bootloader via Odin?

My answer: Yes, unless flashing different rom complete with a bootloader.

3. Flashing ANY rom wont change the bootloader? Like CyanogenMod.

My answer: No, some rom's do come complete with a bootloader like stock or stock based ones. But CyanogenMod does not.

4. I'm running CM9... does that mean I have an Ice Cream Sandwich bootloader now?

My answer: No, the Gingerbread bootloader is more than capable.

Are my own answers correct?

I'm so confused by different things I've read off the net... please please someone put my mind to rest! I'm writing a few BIG guides and kinda came unstuck when I got to this subject lol.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billyjed:
No cyanogenmod packages come with bootloaders. I don't think that cwm will flash them. I think you need Odin or Heimdall to flash bootloaders. Unless you flashed a package that had bootloaders, you should still be on gb bootloaders, which work for just about everything.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysDroid:
1. Idk that was along time ago lol

2. If you update with Odin factory images, it always contains the boot loader.

3/4. Flashing custom ROMs use the gingerbread bootloader, and do not change it ever.

Hi!

I dropped my Nexus 7 face down and damaged the screen so since I can't find any replacements screens I decided to sell the rest of the parts that worked perfectly before.

Everything int the picture is for sale plus everything that comes with it in the box.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b4silver:
So my nexus seven was great out of the box. I was probably so excited that I didn't rly notice this to begin with but the back of it is off placed. And also there is a part of my screen that creaks when pressure is applied... So should I return and get another? If so should I call Google or Asus?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demandarin:
Any pic of back you describe? Do you mean not fastened down all the way?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pxlitup:
If it isn't actually lifted and it only creaks when you press it deliberately, that's not worth returning in my opinion.

As for the back, like darin said, it's difficult to have an opinion without seeing it. Have you popped it off and on again to see if that fixes it?

To check if your screen is lifting, which is the most likely cause of your creaking sound, hold the device with the right side facing you. Look across the display and use the left bezel as a silver horizon line. If the black display is higher at any point, you'll be able to see it interrupt that silver line.

Here is an example of a perfectly flush display, looking across the device from the right side.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atticusmas:
Just wondering, is that a HUGE scratch on it?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohan32:
I believe that is just a reflection
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pxlitup:
I don't see what you're referring to, but this isn't my tablet so I wouldn't know. This was a photo uploaded by a helpful user named drewden to prove that flush screens do exist.

Really hope you're not talking about the left bezel. That's kind of the whole point of the picture.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohan32:
Nah I believe hes talking about the thin line above the big grey side panel of the closer side of the N7.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
That thin grey line is the bezel on the far side, visible above the glass.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 145ty:
That bezel seems different from my C8 model. Mine no where near is raised that much on my device. Not sure if it is the way the photo is taken or not..

Mines basically flush with just enough to feel the bezel raised.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pxlitup:
There's just no way... I don't even... I assumed that they saw something I didn't.

Looking really, really closely, towards the right side of the photo, I can maybe see a faint thread of chalky white about halfway across the screen, but why would anyone mention that?

If these guys can't tell the difference between the bezel and a scratch, I'm going to plug in my DSL modem next to the bathtub and log out.

---------- Post added at 11:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 PM ----------

Are you saying that when you look across the device from the right side, like in the picture, your black display eclipses part of the thin, silver bezel on the left side?

That would mean you have at least some screen lift.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 145ty:
Pictures incoming of all four sides. Uploading now.

You can see where my minor screen lift is on the upper and left screens. By minor I mean minor.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pxlitup:
Cool.

Make sure you get a decent shot of the horizon test detailed earlier. Unless your tablet is really weird, the others are less important.

Edit: I can see your entire bezel from both the right and left portrait sides -- can't tell which is which. As far as I can tell, your screen looks fine.

What makes you think that there's lift?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 145ty:
I am on extremely slow hotel internet.. Takes me forever to do anything. I posted the pictures above but I don't think it worked.

* Hands 145ty a micro fiber cloth*
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pxlitup:
I still feel like there may be some confusion about what to look at from the right side.

Hopefully the OP will find this rigmarole about how to check for screen lift helpful. If none of this is applicable, I'm sorry for derailing your thread.

Once again, here is a photo taken by a user named drewd.

We're checking the left, but we're looking at the unit from the right. We're looking at the left bezel (on the far side) to see if the screen is high enough at any point to block it from our sight.

The thin, silver line of the left bezel is intact, and the perspective is low enough to be accurate.

Now, here is a low quality photo of my own second unit. I took this picture for reference during a Google Support call.

It is a very bad camera, but you should be able to see the silver line of the left bezel along most of the far side. I've drawn a circle around the general area where the screen eclipses the bezel. The perspective is higher than drewd's photo because I wasn't trying to show that my screen is flush. His angle would be more convincing for that purpose.

The lift of my second unit was indeed minor, and it turned out to be the least separated of the three units I received. In hindsight, I might have kept it, but now I wait for news that this issue has been resolved.

Hopefully this clears things up.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x-magic:
When there's something wrong come with the device, well, the answer is definitely YES. Just send Google an email and they will tell you everything you need to do.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 145ty:
Very minor lift. You can see it on the pictures a bit, they basically look like a shadow/overcast. It is quite minimal, only reason I noticed was because of this forum. You can also tell if you do a fingernail test around the edges.

If you can even call it lift - its not over the bezel just raised a bit in comparison to the rest of the unit.

To be honest - it was a bit worse a few days ago before I tested it for squishiness and been going away with normal use.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Moonkae:
I've noticed that after flashing a new ROM it can take the gps some amount of time to lock. I've also noticed that when you have the GPS lock on your location, turn it off, wait a bit, and have it relock it does it pretty quick. Does the GPS remember your previous location and, for instance, if you turn it off and go somewhere new even if its a few miles away it takes a while for it to relock? If this was the case, would leaving the GPS on at all times actually fix this problem? When you leave it on and go into maps you see the little 'GPS circle' that indicates when you're locked but when you're not using an application that requires it its not there... I assume that if this is the case the GPS is passive and not wasting battery life, but if its in this passive state will it help it to lock on quicker if you move locations?

I'm asking because I've always wondered if I should leave the GPS 'on' at all times because it only uses it if it really needs it, but it will be quick to lock on since its always passively tracking your location. I'm referring to its use in Jellybean but I'm sure its the same in ICS. Thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
GPS should lock fast if AGPS data is downloaded, do you have a working data connection?

Beamed from my Maguro.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Moonkae:
Of course. When I noticed this happening I was on 4g. For some reason (it seems to depend on the rom and kernel) the GPS locking is always finicky. Sometimes it takes a while to lock, other times it does it real quick, and sometimes it'll decide to just not find it at all. I recall it happening on ICS as well but I'm running JB roms now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Try using a app like GPS Status to get a lock before firing up your navigation app.

That's what I do, and it works good.

[HTC Sensation] phoneaddict13:
Tried using navigation. With 2 different sensation phones. 1 stock, 1 rooted with revolution rom. I bet it has to do with the Google Maps app. It's been doing nothing but crashing (rebooting). Is this happening to anyone else?
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
No. No one else.

You are the only one.

I mean other than the 10,000,000 other people who have had the problems with Google Maps since it's most recent update was pushed with some major bugs that cause exactly the problems you are experiencing. Those bugs have been well documented and have been discussed in multiple threads in this forum as well at just about every feedback left on the Play Store for the past week specific to this exact problem.

But other than those millions upon millions of people, you are the only one with these problems.
[HTC Sensation] Genmakka:
Dude, you've just written down what I've been suspecting about Google Maps for some days now. Mine crashes too, not every day and every time, but when it does it keeps doing it. Restarting doesn't help, restarting after battery yanked out doesn't help, will crash and reboot 5-10 secs after starting Maps, and this'll go on for some time until I decide not to us GMaps anymore. So I'm gonna try with satellite settings turned off, anybody better idea?

this may be a Dev+Google Maps issue.

Just a hunch but I don't think this is going to get fixed anytime soon. The problem seems limited to HTC phones (specifically the Sensation and Rezound). I suspect Google will blame HTC and HTC will either blame Google or more likely since the phone is EOL, simply ignore the issue.:(

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blauder:
Hi guys,

I really hope someone can help. I've been using my Epic 4G Touch for recording HD video for about a year now. I edit everything on Vegas Movie Studio Platinum v.11. Everything was fine until a couple of months ago. I was able to put my mp4 video files directly into my timeline and all was well with the world.

Recently, I've noticed that when I put video files into my timeline, the audio track is out of sync and a bit longer than the video track, The only work around I've found is to convert the files to another format. When converted out of mp4 into avi, dv or anything else, the sync is perfect, but this inevitably degrades the audio.

I've found nothing that I've done differently with my computer or smartphone except flashing ROM's. I even re-flashed the ROM I had before the trouble began, (Calkulin's E4GT2 v.1.6). Still same problem.

The mp4 files play just fine on my S2 and computer, but not when I try to edit them in Sony Vegas.

Help?

Thanks!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1v Android Development] twigster:
Ive done this before. Can you not boot into download mode. I first started by leaving it to see if it would eventually restart on its own. If that doesn't work for you, while trying to turn it off hold down the volume down key. If I'm no mistaken this is how I managed to get mine back. Kind of forcing the restart in the direction you want it to go. Once there, I used fast boot to boot a known recovery, did a wipe but not sure if this was necessary, and then a restart, while holding thumbs. Hopefully you will have some luck with this as well.
