[Samsung Infuse 4G] Russ_S:
gps?

qkster, you had asked about losing the IMEI. I found the number buried in the settings. What is strange is that the phone appears to no longer think it has GPS capability. No icon by the wifi and cell signals, nothing in the settings to turn it on or off. Apps requiring GPS hang while waiting for GPS info. Any idea if this is particular to the Carbon ROMS? I believe I have attempted extensive searches regarding GPS on the infuse in JB and Carbon ROMS and have found nothing. Any ideas? Greatly appreciate your guidance (and to anyone else in the know). I tried posting this on the Carbon 1.7 nightlies thread but my years of programming don't get me passed the nooooob status. :p

---Russ
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
I'm not sure about this. I haven't used JB that much on the Infuse to learn the ins and outs of it. I haven't tested the GPS extensively either. I have a tendency to turn off my location and GPS too. So I may not have noticed how it behaves or misbehaves.

You're method of jumping directly from GB to JB may or may not have a part.

A couple a things to try:

1. In the settings: location or google..see if you can allow location and reboot. In the gps..try to get outside for a few minutes to see if you can get a lock.

2. If not, try a factory reset in the settings

3. If not, reflash the whole rom...if not, bring it back to gb stock and reflash it...conventionally or unconventionally as you see fit to test it.

I do recall that GPS and location was an issue at least 6-8 months back until jt1134 came up with the fix in the cm10 thread. If you locate the guy and look under his profile stats, you can see what he posted and where and how it is relevant to your situation.

This may not help you much, but I'm one of the dinosaurs that prefers GB on my infuse. Everything works very well..especially with Zen's kernel

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Russ_S:
That worked!

Wow, GPS really drains the Infuse battery. Fortunately (1) worked. Thank you qkster!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] fpervez:
for jumping from GB to JB...is there a particular type of ICS people suggest? There is no link posted here, so I am not sure which one is best. I'm also pretty new to this stuff, so I get confused about the technical aspects. Thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] psal217050:
Think of ICS as a temporary stop. Really doesn't matter which one you pick because you can flash JB after it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] fpervez:
I ask because the last time I tried jumping from GB to ICS to JB, I ended up bricking my phone, and the trouble was on the jump to ICS (I followed instructions carefully, but something got screwed up). I ended up, thankfully, being able to go back to GB via Odin.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] psal217050:
Go GB to CM9, run it let it settle then, flash a JB rom with recommended GAPPS. Make sure you follow OPs instructions.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] inked11:
Worked like a charm!

Oh, and I am! Thank you for making this great guide. Speaking as a technical writer, it's quite well done. Really burned through my battery before it was all done, but my Infuse is up and running on Carbon; looks great and runs super smoothly. Now Carbon will be my dd on the Infuse as well as on the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lurchy123:
Looking for bait of advice I have been running version 1.5.4 Foxhound Rom which lately there seems to be an update for every other day.. now the problem is if I want to update to the new version I have to wipe all my data and start fresh if I don't and install the new Rom without wiping everything then it won't boot up and freezes at either the starting apps point or the finishing boot point which is more than little annoying! I've tried to follow the instructions on the thread from here fixed permissions etc etc but it will not play ball.. I've tried updating then restoring my data after and still the same.. any suggestions would be greatly received :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fattest:
I have a defy running CM7.2 (kernel 2.6.32.9-gb08c3c8vfcj78@zch68lnxdroid50 #1) with "JordanCameraWrapper BAYER device" camera. I have not done anything to the kernel since installing CM and I have a few questions:

1. Is my camera a red lens? I believe it is from the posts I've read so far.

2. If it is a red lens, I shouldn't have any problems with 720p recording on a custom kernel?

3. What is the best kernel for extending battery life?

4. Does using a GB ROM prohibit me from using ICS or JB kernels?

TIA
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyxwvut:
Are you trolling?????

There is obviously NO custom kernels for a device with a locked bootloader!!!

There is also no ICS or JB kernel for defy or defy+ that's why we use froyo or GB kernel with ICS/JB system.

Yes you have red lens (Bayer)

Only stock GB or stock GB based rom's can record 720p. No custom Rom that's not based on stock GB can record 720p, only 720p playback is possible.

Just got the Note 10.1 and in the box was a small bag with some parts. What looked like S-Pen tips and a small metal ring. No reference to these in the manual and I couldn't find anything on XDA. Can anyone explain what these parts are for and how to use them? Also is there some instructions on these parts available from Sammy? (Note New User) Thanks!:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akxak:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deflectn:
when is the rigth time to change them ? and for what reason there hard ones and soft ones :confused:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob62158:
The hard and soft tips are because some users like the feel of the soft tips on the screen and some like the hard ones. the soft ones to me make it closer to a paper and pen feel and the hard make it a more slippery type of feel. When to change I'd guess depends on how much they are used and personal preference as to when they don't feel right any more. I've had a Wacom tablet for a few years now and haven't needed to change the tip on my pen yet.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jomofer:
Hi,

How are you trying to put your device in flashmode? If you do exactly what flashtool says, you wont get it.

You have to turn off your device, select flashmode in flashtool, press and hold Volume Down Key and then connect the phone to your PC.

The Back Key is not functioning for our Xperia, but Volume Down yes! ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lyrabee:
hi,

hm, i'll give it a try, but all the guides i found concerning the ray explicitly wrote about the back/return button like e.g. this one here talk.sonymobile.com/thread/24433

and as i wrote in my original post and in my edit i managed to get into green light mode with back/return button, but flashtool "just" didn't recognise that the ray anyways - despite it being connected with usb debugging and msc mode on - which is because of a problem concerning ics and msc mode i fear...

but i'll try it with volume down anyways. there can't happen more than before ;)

is there anybody out there who possibly might help me with the fastboot solution?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lyrabee:
OMG! jomofer, you are my hero! it worked, it worked right away with the first try of using the volume down button :victory: i'm on baseband 72 now! thx thx thx again!!!11!

lyrabee :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] evilbarcode:
Also i dont know if it happens on the newer flashtool version but if you leave it connected to flashmode for too long it automatically breaks the connection. you should always drag'n'drop the ftf into flashtool and set alll that up and only enter flashmode when it tells you too after its all ready to go.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lyrabee:
hope, i won't have to flash around too often ;) but thx for the tip :)

what i also found out accidentally yesterday, is the fact that msc actually works properly on ics/cm9.1, if you explicitly tell your device to connect as mass storage.

before the upgrade to ics i simply plugged the ray into the pc or mac, and the micro sdcard showed up like an additional volume. it didn't anymore after the upgrade. the device said something like "usb connected" in the info bar, but nothing more happened.

yesterday i checked that message in the info bar more accurately, even tapped on it, and tadaaa, the option was shown to "turn on usb storage": jayceooi.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/SGS2-ICS-USB-Mass-Storage.jpg

so easy and so far away simultaneously; unbelievable. anyways, i have "real" msc now again :)

[HTC One S] Snow201:
hello, im trying to install a custom rom, and now im in recovery step. i installed like 3 different recoverys.

all of them stuck in the red text step(when i get in to recovery mode from bootloader), and even after 20-30 mins still in the same position.

can someone say me when i need to do? i really need to fix it.
[HTC One S] FatherD:
Make sure you are not plugged into your pc when you boot to recovery! - if that doesn't solve it ..

Does the phone boot to the existing Rom, do you have Rom manager installed? - if so update the recovery from Rom Manager. I found that after rooting the One S using the toolkit I could not get in to recovery, the update from Rom Manager sorted it!

All the best :good:
[HTC One S] Snow201:
i tried before to get in to recovery mode without USB(plugged to my computer or to charger) and still same problem.

and i dont have any rom manager.

i got HTC one S only with Unlocked phone and recovery(that doesnt work), so i think i need root for rom manager.

got something else?
[HTC One S] osugsxr:
Had same issue with the tool kit, the cwm didnt stick. The Touch work one did stick and I was able to get into recovery. However I downloaded the app ROM MANAGER and flashed the recovery from there. Since then I've had no issues booting into reocvery or bootloader. Just download rom manager and go about it that way!
[HTC One S] Snow201:
NVM, there is no recovery for HTC at all, only Galaxy and some more. what i need to do?
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
I had this problem when I first rooted its weird just download the recovery again but save straight to fastboot folder wherever u have the folder and don't rename then flash the recovery that's how mine worked
[HTC One S] Snow201:
but i dont have root... and for root my phone i need recovery O.o

there is some other way to root?

because the ROM manager doesnt work well without root.(cant install new recovery)
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
I'm not telling you to use Rom manager =\
[HTC One S] Snow201:
Ohh. .. but still in tried install the recovery like 2-4 times.

There is other way?
[HTC One S] frdd:
Which recoveries have you tried, and what version of phone do you have (S3 or S4). These must match.

Make sure you bootloader unlocked OK, check in bootloader screen, should say Unlocked.

The problem youre describing sound like when you try to boot after successfully flashing a ROM but forgot to or the kernel failed to flash with it. Only happens when ROM and kernel are mismatched enough that it wont boot, fex flashing CM9 and still on HTC original kernel. Try flashing the kernel from the ROM zip file with

fastboot flash boot boot.img

You can also try booting a recovery without installing it,

fastboot boot nameofrecoveryfile.img
[HTC One S] Snow201:
nope, until now i did only unlock for my phone. and i have no idea with version i have, how do i check it?
[HTC One S] frdd:
If you have working ADB and fastboot working (there is a sticky by user fibsib that explains this) you can make sure your phone isnt really just trying to boot the OS and failing rather than trying to enter recovery with the command

adb reboot recovery

But anyways figure out which version you have before doing anything more, flash the wrong stuff and you could break stuff. There are good info here as to how to see if you have the Ville=Z520e=S4 processor model or the Ville C2/Z560e/S3 processor model.

Then download a recovery for your phone model and install it with this command from your computer

fastboot flash recovery nameofrecoveryyoudownloaded.img

Should work.
[HTC One S] jaztim:
have you actually flashed a recovery yet?

which one and how did you do it?
[HTC One S] dell4320:
Make sure you have your phone updated to the latest software version before you root. Download system update OTA and click update.

Otherwise you will have issues.

I am rooted T-Mobile phone with original software 1.54 and still can not do recovery or update, it is probably me but it is difficult.

If you are in the US, make sure you use the US version in the development section after you upgrade your phone. Update then try to root it might be easier.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost_:
I am able to get the native hotspot working on rooted JUUS06252012 and bypass the "dial 611" message. I'm posting this right now via wifi tethering, on a prepaid plan with a data package.

Before trying to get the native hotspot to work, I did try a few apps first. WiFi Tether for Root works in WPA mode (configured as Epic 4G Touch), but it broke wifi completely after tethering and wifi stayed broken even after a hard reboot. Logcat said a wifi driver file was locked and could not be loaded. I had to factory reset to get wifi working again. FoxFi seemed to work at first, but force closed whenever a client connected.

The mod: I found two values in settings.db to be modified. As we all know, there are many ways to update a sqlite database, but here is one easy way, keeping in mind that the Pantech Burst factory rom lacks many things like BusyBox or the commandline sqlite3. Yes, you need to be rooted:

1. Install Andsen's aShell and aSQLiteManager (not SQLiteManager).

2. Run aShell, check root, tap File Explorer, go to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases, open settings.db, when prompted to open a copy, say yes and open with aSQLiteManager, tap table secure, tap data and tap "edit" for each of the below

softap_free_supported=1 (old value 0)

softap_entitlement_interval=0 (old value1440)

Then tap back twice. When prompted to commit changes, say yes and exit aShell.

3. Reboot and you can now use the native hotspot. Install a toggle widget for convenience.

*EDIT: with this mod, turning on hotspot from the 2nd level "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings" page works reliably, whereas turning it on from the 1st level "Tethering & portable hotspot" page would show the "dial 611" message. Many hotspot widgets work reliably as well, such as HotSpot Toggle, Hotspot Widget or many others.

After a lot of trial and error I have this working on ICS. I tried the free apps first and at first I couldnt even get the change to take. When I did by copying the file editing it then replaceing it the system would just hang on boot. I did get it to work though after having to wipe my device a few times. Now this may still work with the free programs im not realy sure as I figured id give the paid ones a try and got it working. I used the program root explorer. I copied the settings.db and pasted the copy in the same folder. Then I edited the copy in SQLite editor although it still couldnt edit the original.. Then in root explorer I renamed the old file by adding an extension to the end and renamed the new file to replace the old one. Then in root explorer i double checked that the permissions were the same as the old file and also..... (I THINK THIS WAS THE IMPORTANT THING BY THE WAY) I checked the ownership settings in root explorer it was already set to "system" just like the old file. I think the other programs may have been changing the owner of the new file causing issues. Anyway after rebooting it started right up and I can turn on wifi hotspot from either menu. On gingerbread it only worked from the one menu. I hope this works for you guys!!!!!!

by the way i used the original two edits from the first post

Hey thanks! This was the setting that did the trick for me on my Pantech Crossover (P8000). I had recently done the vendor upgrade to Gingerbread and lost root, but more importantly, SVTP's Wifi Hotspot & USB Tether Pro stopped working for me.

I rooted using pawaa's excellent guide and thought that would do the trip, but no such luck. Found this thread, bought SQLite Editor and made the aforementioned changes and all was well.

Guess I don't need SVTP anymore, but the widget works well, and I don't mind having paid for it for the month or so that it worked under Froyo. (Also, it was paid for out of my Nexus 7 $25 credit.) Anyways, just wanted to mention this in case anybody else was trying to get tethering working again on the Crossover after upgrading to 2.3.6.

I tried all of the methods above in ICS and none of them work.

I was not able to find away to fix this without reflashing the ROM. I tried repairing the permissions but it did not help. I could not simply change the settings back since it seems AT&T's program did that for me and nonetheless deactivated me.

I can't get this to work either. My phone was purchased as an unlocked device, I didn't realize some things are still locked. :'(

I tried multiple times. I am running the stock (rooted) Android version 4.04 Baseband version JUUS09032012. Everything was setup fresh, all I did was root the device, get my Google account logged in and install the Superuser app, aShell and aSQLiteManager. I didn't stop, disable or uninstall any apps. Then followed the instructions here carefully.

I also tried the "Secret Codes Revealer" method with no luck. But I did not get any popups requesting root access when trying that method, so I can't imagine it doing anything.
