zWarHawkz updated OTA

I too had root (locked device) and recovered root after the OTA update

Ive just followed these simple steps you can find at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1840504

But i advice you not to update yet since it is quite buggy and a lot of people (including me) have problems with this JB update.

Maybe you should wait for a more stable one.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reilly1812:
Just read the other threads in this forum about bricks from unlocked tablets to get your answer. Yep - you made it clear from the outset that your concern was that you were unlocked so I won't bore you about OTA updates and rootkeeper. BTW - I stayed locked for this very reason. Let the dust settle before you worry about JB. There really isn't much of a difference.

Still Charged Up

Anyone else using a custom rom (such as CM10) notice that eBay notifications don't work? They used to work on my phone, but I think since I started using JB roms, I don't get the item watch/ending/message notifications. Works just fine on my Nexus 7 though...

[Android General] DroidModder:
Hi Y'all folks!

DroidModder here. I wanted to make this thread as basically a neutral ground for all Android Noobs, or veterans to ask and reply to different questions regarding the Android OS. I saw that there are similar threads already that pertain to devices exclusively..But my thread is different, this thread is for any device, universal.

I hope people can ask and reply to questions. I made this for all those Android Noobs out there who need a spot to just come and ask a question about their device, or any Android related question, and getting a clear answer. The way I look at it is that there is no such thing as a stupid question! Ask anything you may need clarification on or if you need assistance in rooting a device, or if you dont know what a term means.. like ADB, or what a Bootloader is....stuff like that! So i am gonna stop ranting on about this thread...

OFFICIAL RULES OF THIS THREAD:

1) All questions must pertain to Android, in some way,shape, or form

2) No negative questions. Any unrelated questions will be ignored

3) Be good to the Mods, they have power over all of us ;)

4) Try to make this thread a good thing and a good initiative by posting good questions and replying with meaningful answers.

5) Please do not troll or flame the new Junior Members or Noobs. We were all Android Noobs once.

6) HAVE FUN!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magnetz:
When displaying gradients the screen has this weird colour banding effect. It doesn't show up in screenshots so it must be the screen?

Does anyone else's Settings look like this? Go into Settings -> Display to see it since the bottom half of the screen is empty. It's on full brightness too and you can see it even at half brightness.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsDefying:
This isn't with the tablet, it's with Android. It comes up in screenshots too.

Here's a photo from the battery usage thread:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noobandriod:
I can confirm that the banding is not hardware related. It is with stock Jelly Bean. Currently rooted and running custom rom and do not have banding. I did notice it with stock Jelly Bean.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesst20:
I have the same thing, it is software related :P
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashclepdia:
Lol....

This was even in ics but just larger isn't it?

Just that a lot of custom roms changed it to a flat color.

if you had true "banding" you would know it. I don't think you would only see it on backgrounds of things.

Am I correct in thinking that?

---------- Post added at 10:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 PM ----------

Just go here to check and see if you have "banding" and for example of what it is.

http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/gradient.php
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magnetz:
It must be a display issue if you compare how it looks in a screenshot to the photo. Does nobody else see how glaringly different they are? The photo shows it with a pink block, grey block, pink block with small bands that have their own gradients inside that all are light at the top and dark at the bottom.

Without looking at the Settings source, I assume that the background is a smooth gradient going from grey to black vertically. It must just be a low quality screen.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magnetz:
Ok I found the answer. See here: http://www.displaymate.com/news.html The Google Nexus 7 Display Stumbles and Falls Short...

Also the banding is because they didn't use a dithered image but the low quality screen calibration makes it look so much worse at brighter areas.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
NO! It's a ****TY background image. Period. Good grief.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 640k:
also, it's a 16-bit display. The background should have been dithered, but it wasn't. You'll see these same effects in just about every modern TV or LCD monitor as most are only capable of 16-bit color.

FWIW, this screen is "light-years" ahead of most of the Moto screens available on their phones. With their qHD and color enhancement techologies, they fall short to replicate accurate colors. Still, I don't ***** about it. I like the devices, they serve their purpose. I'm not going to be editing photos on them, so why should I care?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihashishin:
cant find an answer to this problem anywhere so here goes:

History: i have the nexus 7 and ordered early on end july (so an early batch), i received the device with a little bit of screen lift on the left side but nothing else. its the stock rom with no alterations or accidents.

Problem:

the screen lift got progressively worse but the screen hasnt lifted more after hitting about one milimeter withen the first couple of weeks. then the speaker started crackling slightly and a was getting a purple tinge in a game agent dash about a week ago. now as of yesterday suddenly the screen has grey/purple-ish vertical banding and i cant see anything on the screen - but if i take a screen shot the png file shows everything as fine.

dont know what to do, tried the soft reset (volume + / - and power) but cant get into the menus to try and factory reset. is this a hardware problem or a software problem?

what my google asus nexus 7 looks like now: (not letting me post a link to img)

only lead i have is this which is what mine looks like now:

(not letting me post a link) but the link was to the technobuffalo site

and the topic was "whats up google nexus 7 screen issues continue to surface video"

ideas? options? return it under warranty, will they charge me for that?

Hi guys,

distro: CyanogenMod 9.1.0-N7000 (build 28/08/12 -mmh, i realize it's a bit early :/ )

gapps: 20120429-signed

Country: Belgium

[Just details]

I've just made the jump to CyanogenMod distribution, everything went fine, thanks to the wiki at cyanogenmod. I have first installed the 9.0.0 and then did the update to 9.1.0 via Rom Manager which offers also gapps 2012-04-29 (the latest signed package for ICS).

[/stop with details :) ]

Play store, Gmail, G+, Talk work fine, I just can't find Youtube player.

I tried then to install it from google.com->mobile->android but I get the message:

This item isn't available in your country which is strange cause I had it in the stock distribution 4.0.4 from Samsung.

Did I missed a news about Youtube and latest Ice scream sandwish?

And the obvious question, is there a way to recover this app?

Thank you in advance!

Hi all,

I'm using a ROM, but am having different network reactions even though I removed as much from the ROM as possible so it would only change the interface. The phone is functioning fine, but signal strengths are different in different places after flashing the ROM.

What do you need to look for in a custom ROM package to tell what parts are being updated? (Radio, Bootloader, Boot Animation, Kernel, etc.)

Thanks!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wimobile246:
Hello friends,

I have been a silent follower of this forum for more than 5 years and I never needed to post anything because I was able to find everything and I am very thankful to all the developers out there.

But today I couldn't get something done with my phone. I had samsung captivate (at&t) which for some reason couldn't start up so at&t had to exchange it for me ( that was few months back). For past few weeks I have been trying to root this new phone ( also samsung captivate), but I cannot get it to root. I searched all over the place and tried to root the device for nearly 5-7 times using odin, but no luck.

Today I used the easy root by red_81 (corn kernel 7.0a). Again it was an unsuccessful attempt. The installation freezes at the zImage step during the kernel installation.

Help with this will be really appreciated.

MY PHONE INFO:-

Model number- SAMSUNG - SGH - I897

Firmware version - 2.3.5

Baseband version - I897UCKK4

Kernel version - 2.6.35.7-I897UCKK4-CL614489

Build number - GINGERBREAD.UCKK4

Also I read it in some post that there is some info under the battery it says 10.07. I don't know if that is helpful but I just mentioned it so.

I will be waiting for the reply. Thanks in advance.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Have u tried different usb/micro usb cables and or different usb ports.

U could also just flash KK4 Corn Kernel (i recommend versions 6.03 or 7.0A) through Odin or Heimdall, because u can get Root through the CWM Recovery that is included with these kernels.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wimobile246:
I haven't tried different usb/micro usb cable but ya I have tried different usb ports.

I tried to flash the Corn Kernel 7.0A through Odin but It stops at Zimage step. So that didn't help either. But thanks for the idea.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wimobile246:
Hey treygrizzard, I tried the option 1 from the link you provided but it didn't work (again it freezes at zImage) and I also tried option 2.

surprising think happened with option 2 I downloaded cornkernel 7.0A (odin flashable) and it finished all the steps but when I went into the recovery mode it didn't have "root" option, and the kernal version didn't change in my phone ("about phone" option). I don't know what should I do?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Did u look under the "advanced" tab while in the cwm recovery of corn kernel v7.0A ? The option for Root should be under that.

The name of the kernel may not be changed under About phone because it might not have been built in by the Dev, but it has been in some of the newer versions.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wimobile246:
Actually when I went into the recovery mode it is still "android recovery 3e" and not CWM. I will try to flash it again today and see if that will change to CWM. Should I try corn kernel v7.06? of should I stick with v7.0A when I try it again?

Again thanks everyone for help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Stay with 6.03 or 7.0A
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wimobile246:
Ok I will try to flash it with 7.0A again and see if it helps. Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wimobile246:
Ok so I tried to flash it again first with 7.0a and 6.03 but no luck. Odin says "PASS! (0:3)" but when I go into recovery mode it shows "android recovery 3e"

Here is the log from odin for 6.03 (its the same for 7.0a as well) [update - I attached the picture of odin after it flashed the phone]:

<ID:0/005> Initialzation..

<ID:0/005> Get PIT for mapping..

Just so you know before put the zImage file in PDA I had to add ".tar" at the end for the odin PDA to see the file (so from zImage I had to change it to zImage.tar). I don't know if that has to do anything me not getting it to work.

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Here flash this one View attachment 1293182.

It won't work the way u did it. I attached the .tar version from the Corn Kernel thread. It should work.

U can't just rename the zImage. It has to be repackaged, so to speak, through an Archiver.... Winzip, 7zip, IZarc, etc.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wimobile246:
I tried it with your .tar file and same thing happens. It stops at the zImage step and than nothing happens. I waited 15 mins but nothing happened. I have attached the image of odin during the flash when it stop. Everytime I try to install the kernel it stops at zImage step, and than it soft bricks my phone and than I have to use the heimdall one click unbrick to make it work. I don't know what to do now. Please help.

Thanks for all the help so far.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
The problem has got to be something with the micro usb/usb cable, usb port...or something in relation to these. U need to get a different cable and try. Also be sure on ur pc that u r using a usb port that is in the back of the desktop. Don't use a usb hub. Check the micro usb port on the phone to make sure it is clean of dirt, etc.

Also u could try a different pc. And u could look into using Heimdall instead of Odin, if all else fails.

Keep us posted. Thx.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wimobile246:
Ok so far I tired flashing the same .tar file you attached in previous post using heimdall (followed instructions from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Captivate:_Full_Update_Guide).

It didn't help either, it showed an ERROR and than session was ended.

I also tried using different port on my laptop.

My next try is to use desktop computer with the back usb port. I don't have an extra micro USB cable so I have buy another one, so till then I will try to use my desktop computer and see if that helps.

I will keep you posted. Thanks for all the help so far.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laughingT:
at the risk of repeating some of the instructions from other threads . .

have you tried removing the battery and sim card, then without battery or sim in phone, going into download mode with vol up-down keys held while connecting usb?

that was the only way I could get my cappy to flash properly with the design gears kernal rooting method from stock gb kk4. then I flashed corn successfully, when already rooted.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wimobile246:
First of all thanks for your advice and I tired the way you said but it didn't help. I took out my battery and sim from the phone and try to go into the download mode with vol-up down keys held and connected my usb cord but nothing happened. It seems like it doesn't work without the battery inserted. So now I am trying to use my friend's computer to see if its my laptop. I really appreciate your advice "laughingT".
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wimobile246:
OK so now my phone is successfully rooted. Thanks to everyone who put in their advice, especially 4.2ndtwin. I really appreciate your help and answering all the questions.

So basically I think my laptop USB ports doesn't allow me to root, I used my friend's laptop and it work very well and my phone is now rooted using corn kernel. My next step is to install serendipty rom. How is that rom for captivate? any advice on good roms out there that I should try it on my phone. I will also search around the forum to see other people's responses and my choices.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:

Few days back my galaxy sl dropped from running bike and the LCD broken, also earlier i was having problem with soft keys and the man at samsung service center told me that the whole front panel must be changed, costing around Rs.6000.

After the phone dropped i checked it with my friends LCD screen and everything was working.

Tell me that is there any cheaper option available, as spending Rs.6000 is worthless because the phone is already 2 year old and i would buy a new phone in that price.... Is there any local or cheap lcd available which may be used for sometime???:confused::rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Angenit:
Front lcd? Are you sure it is not the touchscreen digitizer? Usually when people drop the phone the touchscreen gets broken and not the lcd. The digitizer costs around 7 and 14 dolars in ebay with free shipping. Check if you need the lcd (what you see) or the digitizer (what you touch)
