Started for me last night. Normally I just start typing the first few letters of what I am looking for in there and it suggests and finds what I am looking for. Now it is not doing anything. It is not browser specific as I have tried Chrome and Firefox. Have also tried after a reboot. Anyone else having an issue with this?
[About XDA developers] harleybob:
Never Mind. I just answered my own question. I see there was a change to the format of the board to a 2013 theme. When I reverted back to the old theme the problem was solved.

Should work either way for you. 2013 or 2010
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sd5500:
So what would you do in this situation. Last Friday my touch screen stopped working. I was getting emails, texts, phone calls (could answer on car BT only), etc. Stopped in Verizon(not a repair center), they pulled battery but no go. They ordered my a rplacement. On Saturday, in prep for new phone, I pulled SIM and SD out. Powered up, and the thing works perfect. Strange huh?

With that being said, what would you do? Keep current phone, which I bought brand new, or keep and use replacement? For some reason, I don't want the refurb. The verizon guy did say that they do send out brand new ones that have the same "Like New Certified Replacement" sticker on them. Anyway to tell if its brand new or refurb? It has an 8/8/12 date on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Josolanes:
I'm not trying to be rude but, can you see any defects with the phone that make you think it's a refurb? Like scuffs or anything?

If not, that as far as you can tell it's new, why does it matter? If it looks exactly like a new phone than it may be new, or a very good condition refurb. Either way it's still an S3 in "new" condition

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] worwig:
Someone once said that any 'void warranty' type stickers on a refurb, like they put over the screw heads, are a different color then they ones on a new unit. Not sure if that is true.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sd5500:
It looks like its new. For some reason I feel if its a refurb, it was defective and then fixed and that is worse than my brand new I bought. Although mine seems to be defective as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnilsson:
Dude most cln new replacements this early in the game are brand new devices. Verizon has these phones in stock use common sense the phone has been out for around 2 months now millions are out there there are not enough refurbs to replace everyones defective devices. That being said even if it is a true cln device they are usually perfectly acceptable. If you have problems with it swap it for another.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Karl:
use anycut to make a shortcut to RTN that will till you if it's a refurbished phone

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sd5500:
Thanks for the info "DUDE", but I'm well aware how new the phone is. That doesn't mean its not a refurb.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sd5500:
I'm sorry, but can you elaborate. Not sure what your referring to.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnilsson:
Dude I don't appreciate the attitude. K bra.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] voodoomanx:
Do you want to keep your used one that now works or accept a used that that works. Seems like an equal trade off to me.

How much faith do you have that your fix will stick?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dra$tiK:
I don't think the anycut app works for the RTN because I have a CLNR from Vzw and it says it wasn't reconditioned
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] toy028:
I recently got a Refurb phone which fixed my radio issues. I'm 99% sure its brand new. You don't get a battery or a back cover and that's the only difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnilsson:
Because as stated this phone has just recently been released. There are not enough returns they simply have new devices in stock to replace defective ones. What you got was a brand new device. How are people still not getting this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddggttff3:
some people are getting replacements though, I know mine is. (when the sticker under the battery with the IMEI/MEID is all bent like it was 1/2 pulled off, and replaced on, its a sign...)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sd5500:
"Bra" here seems to be the authority on this topic...j/k ;)

I guess at the end of the day, if there was a way of knowing what they sent me brand new its a no brainer. It looks like there is no way of really knowing for sure, which is no real big deal. My current phone seems to be working fine since that strange incident, but having it flake out last Friday was a nightmare. Having this for work email when out of the office is critical, so I should really just swap it to avoid the incident again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Karl:
Anycut will make short cut to veiw rtn this is what you'll see, under reconditioned mine says no

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sd5500:
So I booted up the phone they sent me, and it says "safe mode" in the lower left corner of the screen. Did some app updates, rebooted and "safe mode" is gone. Any thoughts now on refurb or brand new? I did not boot mine original phone up myself to see if "safe mode" was there on that one. It was done by sales guy at verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sd5500:
Now the new phone is acting really strange. While doing a google backup restore of all my apps, the phone became unresposive. Just did a battery pull, which was required, now working ok.

Could my problem be my sim card? Original problem was resolved when I booted without sim card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Karl:
i told you how to check
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jacampb2:
About 3 weeks ago I got fed up with my ridiculously poor radio and called CS. In the end they sent me a "certified replacement". My certified replacement was 100% certainly a refurb. All the micro antenna covers were missing. The Serial number sticker under battery was two times the size of original and looked like it had been printed on a 1980's dot matrix printer, and best of all, it had exactly ZERO wifi reception, probably the reason it went in in the first place. After fighting with these ignorant A$$hats at CS for another few hours, and being told a software update would repair it, I finally got them to send me another. The CS told me the same BS seen above, about how these aren’t really refurbs yet. I'm guessing the bulk of them aren't, but there sure as heck are some out there, and if mine is any example of their level of technical refurb prowess, then I would be very leery and fully test the device before accepting it as good. I ended up sending them the refurb back in it's same box. Third phone at least worked, seems new, and has marginally better radio so I guess I'm sticking with it.

Later,

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linker3000:
Hi,

I upgraded from stock GB (rooted) to stock 4.0.4 (XXLQ2) with XXLRK radio (and then rooted again) about 4 weeks ago using PC Odin and just noticed that bluetooth won't turn on - the BT icon in the pulldown screen just dims for about 7 secs and comes back with BT still off.

I only use BT very occasionally so I can't say when the problem started, but it was definitely working before.

Any thoughts on debugging this problem?

Thanks.

Edit: Other notes about similar problems implied this could be a kernel-related issue (normally with older custom 4.0.4 kernels, although I flashed a stock one) and I fixed it by installing Speedmod Kernel K3-13 from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1673072

I then used Triangle Away.

YMMV - do at your own risk etc.

anyone here has tried this? any good?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tdesbien31:
Here's the story...

So I bought my HTC one X (AT&T) from a guy on craigslist, who claims he unlocked the bootloader, and rooted the phone.

So I get it and it has the factory 4.0.4 update on it...

Well he did indeed unlock the bootloader, it said unlocked, but the phone was not rooted, im guessing it WAS rooted on 4.0.3, then he did the OTA and it removed the root and update it to 4.0.4.

Whatever the case is I now want to do a factory reset on the phone, but either method i try the phone just reboots and never resets. Ive tried:

1.Settings > Storage > Factory Data Reset, but the phone goes to the HTC Quietly brilliant screen with some red HTC writing that says dont distribute this software, blah blah.

2. Power down + Volume Down, then doing the Data Reset in the bootloader, but I get the same HTC Quietly brilliant screen with the same red HTC writing, then it just boots back up to the phone, and nothing is reset.

What can I do to get this thing factory reset guys? Suggestions?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
What are you expecting factory reset to do?

All it does is wipe anything from /data which is where the user installed apps are. It should also go through first time setup again.

Since the bootloader is unlocked push a custom recovery, I suggest TWRP and do a factory reset from there.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tdesbien31:
Right, the guy I purchased the phone from has/had crap setup all over the place, long story short he butchered the files of the phone trying to delete his data, and his crap is still everywhere. So how would I go about pushing TWRP?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danny39:
Go to http://xdaforums.com/wiki/HTC_One_X then scroll down to Total recovery - flashing a RUU to completely restore your phone.

Follow those instructions

WARNING THIS DOES RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER AND YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO UNLOCK IT UNTIL A NEW METHOD IS DISCOVERED. But it will factory reset your phone.

Download the ruu from HTC
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
go here and follow the instructions http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/99
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tdesbien31:
So if my bootloader is relocked im totally screwed, right?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
if it has been unlocked it can be unlocked again as long as the seller didn't change the CID back to the AT&T default

to check this from boot loader type fastboot getvar cid. if it reports back 11111111 or rogers01 you're good to unlock it again. if it does NOT say this, DO NOT relock.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] danny39:
What gunnyman said. But my bootloader is locked and I'm perfectly fine.

Unless you want to flash other ROMs then having your bootloader locked is fine
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tdesbien31:
Ok so it says "relocked"

and my cid is 11111111, whats my next step to get this thing unlocked again?

Sorry for all the questions you guys are being helpful
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
You can unlock again by getting a token from htcdev go to htcdev.com create an account. Then click unlock bootloader. Then choose other devices. Follow the directions from there. Or get the unlock token from the seller.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tdesbien31:
ok ill go about that method, thanks guys you were a huge help!

Whenever i used a music player(stock/poweramp/playerpro,etc.)

this mediaserver appears and keep wake-lock my device,which drains pretty much battery.

after listening to music for an hour,the battery drops by 10-15%,

is there anyway to stop this happening:confused:

i have added .nomedia file in other folders but it still apperas:crying:
[HTC One X] farhanito:
yea, me too have the same problem...
[HTC One X] realzahed:
Media server is the thing that controls the media. thats the reason why it uses battery while listening to music, watching videos etc. It's normal.
[HTC One X] nicholaschum:
Mediaserver is a background process which as realzahed said, controls media playback on the device.

It is related to all the user interactions when controlling when you want to play/pause a song while using your phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ear9ttn:
Everything was fine while I was using the 4.0.4 AOKP ROM but since flashing the new Jelly Bean (accidentally messed it up and had to do a factory image reset) both the Wifi and Data is really slow now. It's not dead, it's just slow. XDA for example takes around 30s-1min to load. I'm currently downloading the yakju factory image and will install it to see whether it's the ROM's fault but judging from the feedback it's probably not the ROM. Another problem is that I can't seem to download from google play right now, it was fine when I first flashed it though.

Known Issues and Other Items

Wi-Fi: No issues so far.

Task Manager (Bottom is not opaque) Still there...

Freezing/Partial Reboot (Sprint Screen): I'm noticing this but normally it also is when the signal is wonky. Might be the cause.

It also caused a few times where I rebooted the phone to get it to come back.

In the end I can't say for sure what this is.

Su notifications for shell: There seem to be a few things going on here.

First, a long known issue is ##DATA# will act up after going in once. Better to reboot and then go back in.

But I think there are some viruses out there also trying to dig in - for example, I had a fake email from a "bank" today.

The email didn't load and it started giving this notification - so I rebooted.

Because of that and the known fact that Android is now being targeted for malware, please consider getting a product to monitor or an AV solution.

It's the least you can do if you're going to keep root.

Potential Issue with NODATA versions

It seems that the NODATA versions are not behaving as previously expected.

This does not appear to be a problem with the build itself but rather the data in the apps.

For example, I did a test NODATA update on a FF18 phone to FH23. This froze constantly.

I wiped dalvik, cache and did NODATA FH13. Finished and wasn't locking up as much but still froze constantly.

Took back down to FF18 and Sprint ID kept FC'ing... cleared that data and all was right again in the world.

Moral of the story - I'm happy to put up a NODATA version but please realize you flash at your own risk! When in doubt, save yourself a headache and get TB, backup apps/data and do the full restore version.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tpapa:
Hey thanks for this. Is there a no root, NO DATA wipe, one click?

And the SOD issue with the FF13 one click has been resolved and shouldn't be present in this one? Kinda lost track of the leak vs Kies discussion thread and what the final determination was as to why they behaved differently.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jordan2333:
First page awesome.can't wait to try this out.

Thanks bro! I think today I'm gonna load a stocker for the weekend...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sideman7:
I have been having the freezing / partial reboots on all stock versions of ICS so far, so I don't think it is specific to this build... Roam control causes it just about every time I switch...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tmeader:
Running the OneClick NODATA over a totally clean rebuild of FF18 from last night, I'm stuck in the same boot hang situation I was before when I tried it yesterday with the version that "wasn't ready for prime-time" and was posted by another user without garwynn's permission. Basically, it boots up, and I can do things for a few seconds, but inevitably the phone locks up and reboots itself within about 10-20 seconds every time.

I'm thinking that it might be tied to the fact that I'm running Nova Launcher 1.3 beta 6 as my default launcher (has "Jelly Bean enhancements"). Worked fine with FF18 and FH13, but something must've changed in FH23 that doesn't play nicely with this version. The problem is that I can't have the phone interface up long enough to get Nova Launcher cleared out as the default launcher. Trying to go into SprintID to reset the pack to the default Android Launcher that way doesn't seem feasible either.

Any ideas?

But yeah, note to anyone else flashing... be sure to switch back to either Touchwiz or the stock launcher before flashing this one. It's finicky.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
It's not - and I was having this issue with other builds. I have a co-workers phone here at the moment that is suffering the same thing. I'm going to *try* and flash FF18 nodata and see if I can get it back to stable for now. (Note: This coworker was 100% stock so whatever this is may not be launcher related.)

One thing I noticed - I could get to Task manager and last active app I saw was Gapps. Unfortunately I can't even get to clear the data and see if that would fix it. If you can, try a custom recovery and see if clearing dalvik-cache helps.

*Edit* Got a logcat of it.... And I'll recommend that people highly consider doing the full wipe until I have a better handle on what's going on. (FWIW this seems to be happening with OTAs as well, so may not be just this particular build...)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tmeader:
I'm actually in the process of the same thing, FF18 NODATA OneClick to see if I can at least get it back up and running. Will let you know how it goes. If I can get it stable, I'm going to just clear dalvik, and then stick with the FH13 NODATA for now. Don't really feel like redoing everything again on FH23 RESTORE.

----

OneClick FF18 NODATA over the FH23 seems stable. Gonna wipe dalvik and cache, and just go with FH13 for now. THanks for investigating.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Just an update - wiping cache, dalvik and then flashing FH13 nodata worked. *Phew!* Now to figure out what didn't change between FF18/FH13 but did with FH23...

Will update Post #3 to note this incident.

*Edit (again!)* Going to FH13 was no good... person had me come get their phone and asked me to fix it because it was freezing again..

o_O
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sideman7:
I flashed the no data version and have the exact same issue...

---------- Post added at 12:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 AM ----------

Interesting... I flashed back to FH13 no data, and everything was working fine again. Then updated several google apps... now I have the same boot loop with FH13... Ugh...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tmeader:
Hmm... I flashed back to FF18 NODATA, updated all the apps, then cleared dalvik and rebooted. Updated to FH13 NODATA and seems to be running fine so far.

I'll report back if there's an issue though.

If so, looks like I'll just do FH23 RESTORE tonight. Ugh.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
That seems to be the key - apparently some of the data in these apps doesn't behave well with a NODATA flash. I know they're convenient but I found early on in ICS that I had more problems with them usually than it took to just keep a regular backup of necessary data and just do the full restore.

In the end I was able to apply the modem and kernel for the person. As long as it runs that's all I'm sure they care about.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Just a reminder for everyone, this is a Development Build that wasn't ever supposed to see the light of day. Without the changelog we can't know for certain what is going on behind the scenes that could be creating those additional issues. I believe the issues people are experiencing are probably related to that. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
That's true as well.. They may have logic that ports older data into the newer formats so that it behaves right during an OTA (and could be missing from this build.) In either case I'm happy to work on this!

And I guess I should drop a bomb now and say that FH28 rdf dropped this afternoon...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sideman7:
Well, for now I'm just flashing the FH23 full restore. I had to wipe my FF18 install not long ago, so I have my rebuild process fresh in my mind...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squiggie:
Flashed FH23 no data and had the boot hang. Cleared cache and did a factory reset in recovery. Seems to be good for now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Why not flash the full restore instead? Would have been easier...
