[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MountainX:
My Galaxy Tab 10.1 Limited Edition Google I/O started boot looping.

Here was the best high level discussion I found of the issue:

http://mobilecon.info/troubleshooting-samsung-galaxy-tab-bootloop.html

That thread lists several reasons this tab can boot loop. I saw evidence of two kinds of looping while I was trying to resolve this issue on my tablet:

Bootloop trouble because recovery

Bootloop trouble because file/system corrupted

I seems like I need to flash new images. I flashed a CWM 5.5 image from here using adb.

However, I cannot copy any other images to the tablet. For example:

# ./adb remount
# ./adb push /shared/Android/ROMs/GalaxyTab10.1_P4/gapps-jb-20120729.zip /data/media/Download/gapps-jb-20120729.zip
failed to copy 'blah': Read-only file system

No matter what I do, I get the "Read-only file system" error. I have tried every possible solution such as

adb shell mount -o remount,rw /data

and other things. Nothing resolves the "Read-only file system" error.

Furthermore, the recovery image seems to be a little flakey. I also tried CWM 6 from http://droidbasement.com and the behavior was the same.

Anyone else having this much trouble resolving the boot looping on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 Google I/O Limited Edition?

What are the best images? I want to be sure I using the best images for CWM, ROM (JB) and GAPPS.

And if anyone has steps that work to let me flash the new images, I would appreciate the help. Thanks

P.S. I'm using Linux (Kubuntu 12.04)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amrut223:
Hi,

First off let me start by apologizing if this has already been covered else where.

My Note is running Stock Offical XXLRB ICS and I was wondering if it is safe from the eMMc bug?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linkenhtc:
Every stock ICS kernel has eMMc bug ENABLED!! Don't use recovery if you are on stock ICS kernel or you will brick your phone.Flash any safe kernel via PC Odin (NoteCore HydraCore Speed mode) and you will be on safe kernel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amrut223:
Thank you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amrut223:
When you say don't use recovery. Does this mean do not perform a factory reset? Also by deleting large files (5GB Media) from my device will this cause this bug to asert it self?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linkenhtc:
Don't use recovery at all - to be 100% sure and never never never wipe factory from stock ICS kernel.You'll brick your device.

Can't you just delete your large files from any file explorer ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
On the contrary, in my opinion, it's 'Ok" to use clockworkmod recovery as long as you don't perform a factory wipe in it or flash a custom kernel thru it.

You can make a factory reset/wipe in cwmr if and if your using a safe kernel already. If your on an unsafe ICS kernel? then flash first a safe one (thru PC Odin) and from there on, it's now generally safe to factory reset your device in recovery.

Imho....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linkenhtc:
There is always a chance to brick your phone with stock kernel.Depends how lucky you are.I super bricked my device twice and I'm not flashing anything from ICS kernel anymore.Simply there are many safe kernels but I'm just more responsible now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amrut223:
Thanks for everyones help. I flashed the latest Speedmod which is deemed safe.

I've seen people complaining that the i747 doesn't charage when your using USB OTG. I was watching a 720p mkv movie off my wd-750gb hd and noticed my battery was going up not down. I seem to have gotten it working with the following combo: Generic USB OTG L shaped cable, D-link usb2.0 hub that I hardwired the positive 5vdc rail to the host upstream power rail and [ROM] AOKP(Jellybean) Task & Ktoonsez 9/11. I had previously modded the usb hub to work with my Atrix as it needs 5vdc on the host rail in order to activate host mode.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sir_Brizz:
There are a few ways to get the charging working. I have one of these

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/usb-2-0-4-port-hub-with-splitter-cable-black-18cm-125451?item=30

and if I plug the black line in and the red line into a USB port, I get charging. It just seems to have to do with if you're on a powered hub and if the 5v rail is hot.

Now I need to get an MHL adapter.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zanzee:
Yeah that's my next thing to test. I have one in the mail now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zaghy2zy:
When I used OTG cable, stuff I plug into it get power from my i747... In theory, I can charge other devices from my i747.

However, I suppose if the device connected to the i747 via OTG actually is hot (supplies power instead of getting power), it would then charge the phone instead...

Just a theory,.... A powered hub (with it's own power supply), might be able to charge the phone and power the devices connected to it... But a non-powered hub will get power from the i747 and power devices connected to the hub from the phone's battery... Do note that some devices require a certain amount of power to switch on and actually work... the power supplied by the phone is limited, so using a hub will divide the power across the connected devices to it...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ozark_8125:
This is the most finicky phone I've had in regards to the USB cable. I've never had an issue in the past with any of the mini usb cables I have on hand, but half of them don't work on this phone. Caused me problems with odin flashing, transfering files, etc - so I wouldn't rule out the cable as a possibility for your problems. Also, if you have a higher rated charger (more amp rating on the label) you might see if you get the same behavior. Also, I find that once in a while, my phone is hot after being 'off'. When I go into battery usage I find that 'Android System' is chomping the battery up. I haven't figured out if it's rom specific or just a 'feature'. Maybe that's drawing some extra current - check your task manager when you're watching your show to see if something might be getting busy in the background.

My moto atrix was way worse for cables and chargers. At least I can over ride the 500mah draw with the sgs3. Unless it was made by moto or you crossed the d+ d- lines it refused to go into fast mode.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Naucitos:
I'm on an 8 gb 1.4.2 nook that has never been rooted before.

I'm attempting to follow the thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1488035

However both when using the files from that thread, and the previous thread by inderect, my nook refused to boot up once i put in the SD card, until it gave me the factory reset option, and then booted to the stock OS anyway.

I've tried having it plugged into the wall/computer before and after turning off the nook, as well as without it plugged in, and its made no difference

Does anyone have any ideas?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tobdaryl:
Consider yourself lucky that you can't boot from the sdcard. I believe the thread you are trying to use was prior to the 8gig tablet. If so you would probably create a frustrating period until you could once again use your nt.

Try this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1644862. The lady who posted it is very knowledgeable and helpful. I don't have an 8gig and have not investigated the possibilities as this lady has.

Good Luck!

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
I read a huge thread explaining all the fine print about tethering. But even worse, Verizon and att MUST allow free tethering as said by the FCC. I'm honestly thinking about researching everything getting all the details sorted out and bringing it forth to the FCC. Cause apparently the way they tell if you're tethering is by packet sniffing. And from what I understand, that's illegal period. Even if it's included in the TOS. That's my private data they are sniffing.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jjlean:
Is this true? I'm not being a jerk, just if that is that isn't acceptable to me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
Which part are you asking is true? The data packet sniffing? Yes that's true. It's the only way they can see what data is being passed through. It's an invasion of privacy if you ask me
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jjlean:
Yea, the packet sniffing. I agree with you... complete invasion. Should be illegal if its not. No companies or the public seem to give a crap about privacy anymore.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
From what I thought, it is. But apparently T-Mobile has it included in the "fine print" that when you agreed to terms of service you give them permission.. still don't see how that's "legal".
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The Archangel:
I'll put my signature on that
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jjlean:
That should not matter. How can people change something like this? Who would you get ahold of?

Try booting into factory recovery and performing a factory/data reset.

Not a pro but it does sound like u tried rooting or one of the steps cuz I can't think of why ur screen would go white with not being rooted especially if u don't even have the HTC boot page up, again not a pro but just a thought?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
We need a little more information. What were you doing before this happened? Is the phone unlocked? S-Off? An Unlocked/S-Off (or even a combination of both) does NOT mean the phone is always rooted. Does it charge? Does the computer see the phone? Can you boot into fastboot by powering it off and then pressing volume down and power button?

Those are the kinds of information we need.

Hey guys,

I am soon going to enter the rooted world of android and flashing roms on my note. Is there still a reason to remove bloatware from the phone when running a custom rom? Will the bloatware apps still be running or will they merely just be taking up memory in the storage?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
The answer largely depends on which rom you choose..

Most custom roms are relatively bloat free, unless you are wanting to use a rooted stock variant build ...

And with regard to running bloat, the answer is yes ...

Apps like Google maps, navigation apps etc. Will often run in the background as available services, even when closed.

But you can use titanium backup and other similar apps, to "freeze " these applications....g

Edit : I always remove my bloat .....even from stock builds ....by freezing a suspected app for testing....

Then if all is well and stable ....I dump it ....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] technut:
Takes up space

possibly running in the background

I stay in a hotel room often without free wifi. Most of the rooms I get 1-2 bars, occasionally 3. A decent amount of the time I get no 4g and sometimes signal is so weak no internet at all. I notice this destroys my battery life. Is there someway to lower the extra strain on the battery when I know I will have a weak signal anyway without using airplane mode? I wanna lower the power being used by my phone to search for stronger signal while still being able to receive texts and calls. Would prefer to keep 3G on as well when it works.

On a related note, are there any products I can buy to boost my signal that work? And is there a rom or roms that are known to have great signal strength compared to the rest out right now? Thanks for any help.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vetteguy112233:
Go download the free app "Phone Info", it will allow you to shut off 4G, shutting off 4G stops it from searching and draining your battery.

Once installed, click "Device Information" and scroll about half way down and change the drop box from "LTE/CDMA/EvDo" to "CDMA only"

Hope this helps!

I use phone info already, 3g over 4g definitely helps, but am I wrong in assuming that the phone is still destroying battery when the signal is weak even with 4g off?
