I don't understand how people make these mistakes. Sure, we are all human... but this is a perfect example of making sure to know EXACTLY what your doing before messing around with your 600 dollar investment. I have flashed probably over 5,000 times on a range of different devices and have never soft bricked or hard bricked my device. lucky? probably...or maybe i just did the proper research before even thinking about flashing.

There is no reason to be afraid of flashing. The OP seems to be blaming the S3 for his hard brick, but in reality, its been said time and time again all over these forums that flashing an international ROM will automatically convert your S3 to paperweight ROM~version: better luck next time. As long as you are patient, read the ROM's installation instructions carefully, TAKE NOTE OF THE "DO NOT FLASH INTERNATIONAL ROMS" thread that blinds your eyes as soon as you enter the Andriod development section, then you will never brick your device, ever.

Once in awhile you may get a bad download or bad flash, but a quick 5 minute odin recovery will fix your issue.

DO NOT BE AFRAID OF FLASHING,

BE AFRAID OF LAZINESS/INCOMPETENCE
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mastalee420:
Not necessarily true, I've had my S3 since it came out and this weekend I had a bad flash that lead to some wonky behavior that ended up becoming a HARD Brick. No powering on, no lights, nothing. I took it to the Sprint store and played dumb, there was no physical damage and they tried to troubleshoot it and they handed me back the phone and said to keep it. They ordered me a replacement brand new S3 at no cost to me.

I took the HARD Brick S3 and sent it to Mobile Tech Videos guys to get a JTAG hard brick repair for $60. I now have another fully functional S3 that I gave to my father for him to activate and use. $60 repair.

Hi All,

Can anyone advise whether there is a tablet mode for JB ROMs? Example is on here: [ROM][JB][4.1.1]PARANOIDANDROID v1.992 [CM10Hybrid][26/08/2012]??

Thanks :)

I tried Paranoidandroid but I too had many instability issues and it was not functional enough for daily use.

Maybe I'll try it again later when some of the stuff is fixed.

I have a T999V Galaxy S3 running the latest nightly CM10 build along with the beta leankernel. Recently I've encountered an issue where I would have to press the power button several times before the phone would start up.

I don't think the physical button is the issue because it works fine once the phone has started up. I also doubt that it's a problem with lean kernel because I recall seeing this issue with the CM10 kernel.

I'm leaning towards the battery or CM10 causing this problem. Has anyone encountered a similar issue or have any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi, I recently transferred an mkv file to my Galaxy Tab 2 P3110, video plays perfectly fine but there's no audio. All other videos play fine, including other mkv files, but this doesn't play. Is it just this file, or there's something wrong? The mkv file plays perfectly fine on my computer, audio included.

EDIT: Solved by using BSPlayer. Just installed it, and played the movies well, didn't need to install anything extra.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] phaserk1:
It probably has DTS audio... Because of licensing issues android players no longer support this audio codec.

To play that you need to get Dice Player and to copy the file libffmpeg.so on the SD card (and then go to settings -> enable custom plug-in). See more details here.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] tanyh:
Is there any way to get that to work on the stock player as well?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thor79:
Galaxy Nexus running Jellybean 4.1.1 Build JRO03C, stock but rooted.

This has been happening off and on for the past few weeks.

Basically I have a small amount (2 albums, used to be more but I cut it back due to this issue) of my Google Music library stored on my phone so I can listen to it on my commute. More recently I have had several incidents (latest this morning) where it will forget that it downloaded the music...and try to re-download it again. The major problem with this is that it seems to be just losing track of the files...not deleting them. As a result it is taking up storage space that the OS is not recognizing. It's recognizing that the free space isn't there, but it can't identify that there are files there I can delete, so I have no way I know of to free up space. Between the apps I have and the music I store...I should have something like 2.4GB used...but the OS is reporting I only have about 500MB of the 13.33 GB free.

I've used the app Storage Analyzer from the Play store to try to find where the large chunk of files is located at...but after letting it run on the data partition for a while the most it reports as being used is 2.35GB with plenty of free storage.

Anyone else run into this? Or have advice? Please help...my last resort is restoring to factory and wiping the storage. I'd rather not do that if I can help it since it takes a while to get the device how I like.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kb87:
Hi guys, I am having a hard time applying the fix for the insufficient storage available error which is often seen in cm9 and other ics rims for i9000. I tried the data script cwm flash which was available on XDA but that didn't help. Also then I tried the data fix app available in the play store. Now I don't know if i am doing this wrong, but here's what I did. Most apps which I don't use as often or without widgets I selected all data in the data fix app to be moved to data / data. And then I applied the script with a re boot. But the insufficient storage has appeared again in a few hours.. Can someone suggest me how to fix this?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] bustinstugots24:
Hello everyone,

I already know the answer to this but do you think there is a way to hack the google books apk to force it to read ePub files? I am currently using adilko as my ereader and its okay but I just love the page turning animation and smoothness of google books. Adilkos animations don't come close to google books.

Anyone know if this can be done?

Does anyone know of any other readers that have a great page turning animation?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] TheWenger:
I've looked into it and I'm pretty sure there's no way of importing an epub into the Books app. I'm no expert so I don't know how much XDA hacking sweetness would have to go into making it happen if it's even possible in the first place.

I agree though. The animations and stability of Google Books is sweet. Importing and using books from the cloud would be awesome.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] ianflo:
the Nook app is the best ive found. not as smooth as google books is, but the the customization, look, and sideloading make it the one i use the most.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] drewden123:
I agree with ianflo. Nook seems to be (one of) the best for sideloaded epub viewing.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] pellik333:
Personally I have been using Aldiko for my book reading needs. Works quite well if I do say so myself.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] lusephur:
Been using Mantano reader myself, page turning, while not as good as google books, as pretty close to it. Side loading is easy, just browse to whereever you stored the epubs on your device and import.

Its an almost perfect reader, just needs a TOC button.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] GinoAMelone:
Two things. First, I need to make sure my favorite epub reader is mentioned, fbreader.

Second, does google books support side-loading any format? If so, calibre may be able to transform epubs to that format. It's a Windows tool for managing ebook libraries.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] lusephur:
Calibre is a multiplatform program, runs quite well on Linux btw. http://calibre-ebook.com/download

As for sideloading on google books, nope, the files are stored somewhere, where haven't a clue, in what format, ditto.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] bustinstugots24:
So I tried nook' its OK its not all that great. I downloaded one of their free books how do you side load epub files for the nook?

Mantanos free version does not include the page turn effect and the pay is like 6 bucks. A bit pricey if you ask me. I currently use aldiko and fbreader. They are both great but the page turn animation is lacking big time.

There has to be a way to side load these files through Google books no? Even if you convert the file using caliber?

Edit: figured out how to sideload to the nook app.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] joedoe:
Try GO Books https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jb.gobook&feature=nav_result

Same. Aldiko has worked wonderfully for me.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] bustinstugots24:
I just tried it

I won't lie its not perfect. Its a little glitchy and not the smoothest but this app definitely has potential. Not bad at all
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] ronin688:
I just recently switched from aldiko to moon+ reader. I don't use the page turn animation so I'm not sure how smooth it is, but the app as a whole is just fantastic. So much control over every part of the app it's just great.

It also has a nice sync feature using dropbox. I can put my N7 down and when I go out and open the same book on my phone it syncs the page to where I last left off.

I bought the pro version after about 10 minutes of use on the free one.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] satur9ine:
I have been preaching for a way to load epubs into google books for a long time now. All the other book reader apps have some kind of compromise or niggle that annoys me. I don't understand why google doesn't just open it up to sideloading.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] mcm180:
hmmmm

Got my Nexus7 last week and while researching Kindle and Nook book rental options...I found out Google / Google Books is making an effort... See below

“In 2004, The New York Public Library was one of several libraries taking part in this ground-breaking digital venture with Google; others included the libraries at Michigan, Stanford, Harvard, and Oxford Universities. Since 2004, other libraries and institutions have signed partnership agreements including Princeton University, Cornell University, the University of California system, and the Committee for Institutional Cooperation (CIC). They even have a nice list of Google's Library Partners, from around the world too.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] drowsword:
Been using Moon+ Reader for a couple months now, tons of features, page turn is like pulling the corner of a page and flipping it as opposed to Googles dragging the middle of the page, page turn works nice, though not quite as pretty as googles, although it is more dynamic in that it is not the same every time you turn a page. If you hold as you slide finger and move finger down as pulling you will see page react accordingly, or just tap side and flip animation. You can import and sort books according to directories which is awesome, I have a different directory for every author and sort works very well. Like the above reader said I used it for a few minutes and purchased the Pro immediately, it just works well.

Also like the person above mentioned the cloud sync is amazing. I have an S3, Galaxy Nexus, and N7, use each of them at different times, and whatever I'm reading is left off in the same spot on the next device I use.

Gotta mention Mantano Premium reader here. The Page turn animation is pretty much the same as the iOS animation, and just as smooth. Feels as smooth as it can possibly be. I've tried dozens of book reader apps and all have been disappointing except for Mantano. It's a little pricey but I consider it a core must have for a tablet so it's definitely worth it. Packed full of other features too.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ishtastic:
After I flashed [ROM][UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 10 by WinSuk in clockwork and restarted I got stuck in a boot loop, I tried installing CM9 back over it and I keep getting

E: Error in /sdcard/[nameofzip].zip

Status 0

my HBOOT is version 0.58 and S-on

My battery is on the verge of dying so I have my phone shut off at the moment. My version of Clockwork doesn't support charging.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
I think that just means that the zip file is corrupted/incomplete. Try redownloading the CM9 zip file.

Also, I'm fairly certain that even on those older versions of CWM, the battery will charge while you're in recovery. But don't take my word on that.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dansou901:
Maybe you should also upgrade your hboot by flashing the official HTC Froyo ROM and run Revolutionary to get S-OFF. After this, flash a new downloaded CM 10 again.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
I wouldn't do that with low battery, but yeah, in general I'd recommend for anyone to get S-OFF on the Aria. I don't think that's the cause of the problem though.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WinSuk:
Hboot 1.02 is required for CM9 & CM10, and is included in the Froyo RUU. S-OFF will be needed to install anything after updating

The battery shouldn't be an issue since it needs to be plugged into a PC anyway
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rufus2k:
Also in boot loop after [UNOFFICIAL] WinSuk CM10 (9/13 update)

I am also stuck in the boot loop. I have updated my ROM several times (CM7) (CM9). I don't specifically remember doing S-off since I thought that is was required to do any ROM flashing anyway. As far as Hboot is concerned, I don't remember doing anything specific with that as well. Is that something that I can install from a ZIP as well? How is it updated?

I do realize that these are noob questions. I am surprised that I haven't had issues before now.

Thank you!

***UPDATE**

Just found out that I have Hboot .57 and S-ON.

Now what?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
Install the official 2.2.2 update from HTC. It will update your HBOOT to 1.02. Since your phone is bootlooping, you will have to turn it off (battery pull if necessary), then turn it on by holding down the trackball button and tapping the power button. It should say you are in fastboot mode. You can connect your phone to the computer while it's in fastboot mode and the updater will work.

After it updates, use Revolutionary to S-OFF. It's supposed to install CWM during the process but fails sometimes, so you may have to manually install it. Good luck.

All good now. Thanks!

[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
There's a couple of good stock-based roms available right now. The one I'm on works very well and has really improved my experience with the TF700. I believe that there will be more development once JellyBean drops and especially with source code. There are a number of drivers that can't just be ported over from the TF201 or TF300, mostly relating to the high resolution screen. So patience is needed for right now (so I keep telling myself, crackflasher that I am).
[Asus Transformer TF700] mightymike889:
so over all r u 100% happy with the tablet
[Asus Transformer TF700] huy_lonewolf:
Based on my experience, only popular devices get a lot of attention from developers, simply because most developers will only develop ROMs and hack for devices that they own. Given the Infinity's high price tag, I don't think a lot of people will buy it in the first place, including developers on xda. Personally, I believe that anyone hoping for a vibrant hacking community for the Infinity will be sorely disappointed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jjdevega:
High price tag? For what it offers its actually a very reasonable/competitive price. For 499 your getting 32gb with the latest Tegra 3 processor and FHD screen!

Honestly think that devs are waiting for Jelly Bean Project Butter to hit. why waste too much time with ICS when JB is just around the corner.
[Asus Transformer TF700] donharden2002:
I agree, for the price you actually get quite a bit. That same price will get you a galaxy note 10.1 if you can stand to look at the horrible screen on it.

I personally think a lot of devs may be waiting for a nexus 10 tablet to hit.
[Asus Transformer TF700] pileot:
Personally i think more devs are leaning towards nexus or samsung devices and here is why:

Nexus devices are stock android. Very easy to make custom roms.

Samsung gives the dev community sources, Odin, and other tools needed to make custom roms. Since most of the work is already done it is a lot easier to customize the software with less work. Sammy higher end devices also tend to be built better although with a more plastic feel. (I've dropped my S2 a thousand times, no broken screens. I've seen friends drop other phones just once with devistating results. Lighter materials = less intertia = more chance of life)

Also, i agree with the JB suggestion, why spend time and effort modifying something we have now when we know JB dropped for the 300 and is due to drop for the prime and 700 in the next few weeks?
