[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] n1vlek:
if you can get to download mode then it means your semi brick....

if you want to go back to recovery mode, hold power and volume up+down for like 4 second and release the buttons.

if you can get to recovery, you can always mount the phone and download the cm9 in your computer and transfer it to your phone again.

if you can't, use download mode and use 1-click heimdall or gremlin remover and go back to stock GB and redo flash back to cm9
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chris31jct:
The combo is hold vol up and down, then power... Thing is that phone can't be plugged to computer or it will keep getting on download mode.

*You can just hold vol up and down, then connect usb from computer to phone and it will go to download mode.

*Obviously, phone must be off in order to do this.

Well, and RaverX3X and FBis251 for helping me get all the right files in the same place at the same time.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] leoramen:
I have an Xperia Sola having issues with the touch screen, basically it does not allow me to unlock it, I have to use the camera button and take a picture to do it, also, some parts of the screen are unresponsive some times, I read on the sony mobile official forum that this is supposed to be a firmware issue. Also when I try to personalize the screen like adding or removing widgets, you know you need to touch and hold until the widget options appears, that does not work, it will not recognize the touch hold, neither the touch flow works.

It appears the harware is perfectly fine, no screen issues like dead pixels or leaks.

Most people say they took it to the service center and they told them the phone was fine and updated the firmware.

The problem is that If I try to use the PC companion or the main sony website it says mine is using the latest version.

Even thou I reinstalled the official firmware, same issue.

My device is an Asian device, when you restore it, the menus are in chinese, So I'm assuming is a HK phone.

I live in Costa Rica and I know this device has a latin american version.

Does anyone has a firmware that is not the asian one for this phone, maybe I can try flashing another stock rom for this.

I will appreciate if someone can tell me what can this issue be.

Thanks.

And yes, I'm a noob and did not find any related topics about this issue in this site.

hi,

me too is having the same issue.I live in India and many users here is also facing the same issue..There is no solid pointer to isolate if its a software or hardware issue.However there is a temporary solution to this problem and is testified by many people including me..all you need to do is keep the phone in direct sunlight for 5-10 minutes.It will work normal for couple of days depending on the ambient temperature and stuff.It will again recur ,all you need to do is sunbath it again:)

This is not a permanent solution..hope it helps

i have some touch screen problem in my xperia sola

but whenever the upper part of phone screen dosent work i clean it with screen protector cloth and it works fine

screen become responsive without restarting the phone

i think screen protector might be the problem in your case.

thanks for the response. i do not think it's the screen protector because on every reset the touch screen works properly but stops working after five or ten minutes...i have a sony screen protector
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Y_Yan_C:
Hi,

I am a GSM Razr Maxx user, I was using a cm9 rom and revert back to stock rom as soon as official ics was released.

When I went back to stock, I first downgraded from cm9 back to 2.3.6 official Asia. By then I noticed that the wifi toggle in the settings menu was disabled.

I paid little attention to it because I was going to upgrade to ics immediately and thought the problem would be gone, however when I upgraded to ics, it did not fix the wifi problem, the wifi toggle in the settings menu was still disabled. My wifi doesn't work

I have been relying on my data for more than a month niw, can someone help me?

So I have the app voodoo ota to keep my root access when I do the ota update from 4.1-4.1.1. How exactly do I use this application? Once installed just do the update?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMagus:
once its installed hit protect root, when all the check boxes are checked you can update. After the OS update finishes go back into rootkeeper and hit the button "restore root" , thats it

I haven't touched the app and it doesn't have the protect root option. However, all boxes are checked. Should I be good to go?

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Sirgatory:
Just picked up an infuse from my buddy for $50. Good deal except the charging port doesn't work, so I have to use an external charger .

I was wondering if there is a way to flash from junky froyo(2.2.1) to ics or jb roms without plugging into a pc? I just need to get it past the darn 3e recovery. It used to be possible to do it with the cappy but I don't know about the infuse.

Anyone know if it's possible? Or should I order a charging port for 7.99 and solder it on?

Decisions decisions....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] noahk11:
As far as I know, there is no way to root without USB.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andros11:
This question was asked I while ago and if I remember correctly, we concluded it is not possible.

Fix it if you can, it will come in handy anyways, specially since you are interested on ics or jb, so you would need to flash GB bootloaders in download mode.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] dparrothead1:
You keep saying flashing.....is the phone rooted?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] droe411:
The phone is crazy simple to take apart. There are 6 screws under the back cover, take those out. The whole outer assembly comes off just take your time. That will give you access to the usb. Fix it and you'll be good.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
I think a few users said ginger break (app) works on froyo for the infuse...if it does then you can root using ginger break, the use SGS kernel flasher (app) to flash a kernel with cwm

I'll try and find where I read it...be care full though, you won't be able to Odin or heimdall back to stock with a bad USB port

Edit just released you want ICS/GB...you need USB for the GB boot loaders...if you don't have GB boot loaders then it will be almost impossible to read the ICS/jb recovery
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ryanscool:
Try getting the port... may not fix it though, worth a shot. If not, then jtag is the only other way i can think of hanging roms.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Sirgatory:
Why would changing the usb port not fix it? Do you think it's a logic board problem?

When i plug the cable in to a wall outlet or computer it does not recognize the phone at all. So i feel like all of the contacts in the usb port are dead; leading me to believe that if i solder in another one, all should function again.

I have an external charger for the battery already, but I can't stand stock 2.2 coming from ICS on my one x haha.

[HTC Rezound] docslate:
I noted my Rez frequently powering off and then very difficult to start. Didn't occur with the extended battery. Then I noticed that 1 of the 4 battery contacts was corroded. There is no water damage in the phone. So I'm wondering if they have a replacement policy.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
You can't have corrosion without a source of liquid. Just not possible.

Humid air? Maybe. Dry air? No.
[HTC Rezound] docslate:
Possibly humidity. It almost looks like there was a problem with protectivecoating on 1 of the contacts. There is a greenish copper like covering. The rest of the contacts are in pristine condition. There s no water damage in the unit and the rest of the battery shows no signs of H2O.
[HTC Rezound] kzoodroid:
If its still under Verizon's warranty take it to one of their stores and they will replace the battery if they have one. They've done it for me in the past, or call Verizon and see if they will send you one. If your off Verizon's warranty you could try contacting HTC to replace it but that might take some time as they are pretty slow at replacing things under warranty. In the Army we used to use pencil erasers to clean off the corrosion on battery contacts for our radios, a good cleaning may be all it needs.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
HTC warranties the whole package. Phone, battery, and beats headphones. you have 1 year from date of purchase. Talk to VZW, if they refuse to give you a new one, you can call HTC and they will send one to you.
[HTC Rezound] jdm2008315:

[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
I guess I'd been on the same Rom for probably 6-7 months, internal memory full, external SD full, probably done 30 nightly upgrades.

My phone was running horribly, took 3 minutes to boot up, unresponsive, crashing, horrible battery life, just slow in general.

Finally had enough and decided to wipe everything and start over on a clean cm7 Rom and wow, back to warp speed, dont even need to overclock anymore!

I was seriously considering burning my o2x and buying an s3 or something.. but now I can see myself using it for at least another year.

If anyone else has lost hope with their o2x, try a full wipe. You may be surprised how slow yours has gotten!
[LG Optimus 2x] frikou:
Ok, but, if you wipe everything, then you lose yourself, you won't have anything in your phone, starting from zero doesn't sound like anything I would like to try, because wiping everything, then restoring would be the same as no wiping at all.

Anyways, if you start from zero, then, after sometime you'll be at the same place you were before wiping.
[LG Optimus 2x] Bouba123:
I suppose he restored apps and data from backup, so all he lost is 30 minutes of work. I did the same for the same reason last week. Since then, I am less impatient for ICS.

[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
Nope, didn't

Had 140 apps, few of which I actually used apparently lol.

I literally started from zero, and surprisingly turned out I've only had to install about 20 apps as I've needed to use them.

My mobile provider is pretty decent so no prob downloading apps

My phone is literally 300% faster, and doesn't crash anymore.

im amazed at how my battery % stays where it is for the most part.

Was probably a pretty extreme case before I wiped it though, 20gb of crap and 150 apps is probably beyond the scope of most normal users Lol.

Didn't really take me too long to start over. Game saves are the only thing I kept really.
[LG Optimus 2x] dante501:
No 20 GB on the sd full with stuff plus 150 sounds about right. My sd is 23 GB full and apps around the same. Alone just on games I have over 50 on it.
[LG Optimus 2x] dakoookie:
I had pretty much the same experience about two weeks ago. I always wanted to get a Galaxy Nexus, but now I can wait patiently for the next one(s), especially with the ICS update coming (hopefully?). Going from CM9 to CM7, now it's always super fast and snappy, plus I can play back videos with higher resolution now. The one thing I don't like though is calling somebody because the contact pictures are so small and in such a bad quality..

What was the Rom you used before?
[LG Optimus 2x] rmein:
I think most complaints about slow roms and memory usage are due to unused app overload. Sure, you can be vigilant with your task killers and keep an eye out for apps eating resources and battery, but that's still much easier to do if you go round and uninstall every app you haven't used in the last month. You won't get quite such a big improvement as a full wipe, but it still keeps things running more smoothly.

I only wish google play had some way to tag apps you have uninstalled so that you can sort the good ones that you might want to download and use once in a while from the bad ones you tried out and though were useless. Game saves are also a problem here, as it's sometimes tricky to keep the saves when you delete the rest of the game data.
[LG Optimus 2x] Takkuz:
Totally agree with you!

I restarted many time from zero but it seems I can't live without 140 installed apps at least. :laugh:

I tried many ROM but the best ROM for me is Temasek with Symbiosis Kernel.

With some little settings I've a great Battery life and great performances!

I'm only waiting for ICS cause I want Chrome!!! :crying:
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
I don't think game saves are tricky at all... Just do a backup with titanium backup, and save the file on google drive or on your desktop and get it out of your phone! Easy!
[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
Temasek before.

Gueste2x now.

I do like the stock sort of theme on gueste :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Tehloy:
I agree, wiping is magic. I originally thought my phone was really bad, trying every CM7 based rom and kernel, all of which lagged.

But I don't understand, why does the phone slow down so much after a short while? I don't think normal users can stand wiping their phones every other month. Even my friend's S2 can survive a couple of months without a wipe and remain speedy.
[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
Not sure, the nexus 7 does the same thing. After weeks it gets glacial, even worse than our o2xes... like unusable.

Just an android thing not even jellybean can fix lol.

But with the iPhone 5 being so lame I wouldn't have it any other way, android for life.
[LG Optimus 2x] Chris4evernoob:
It shouldnt be and Android problem. Every OS I've ever used became slow after a certain period of time. Its even advised to reinstall Windows if you've been using the same PC for quite a while.

When you say you did a full wipe are you talking about factory reset on the phone or are you talking about a wipe in CWM?

Wouldn't a factory reset on phone wipe out root?

Factory reset within CWM.
[LG Optimus 2x] petr.klos:
I just saw kind of heavily noticable improvement, when I instead of reflashing stock and installing+setiing, I reflashed stock and flashed nandroid backup.

Cannot explain, except for some fragmentation theory (which for flash memories should not be much of an issue, right?).

Also, flashing few CFWs and then reflashing stock V20Q with SmartFlash made few bugs I had disappear - specifically the bug I got in When switching from Asphalt to SMS then back then to Email then back then to hotmail ..... It does not restart anymore ... cannot explain:D (That's how I occasionally work hehe.)

This.

Its almost impossible to get (cheap) nfc tags in Canada. I asked a Best Buy rep at the Eaton Centre store in Toronto a couple of days ago, and he had no idea what NFC was.

I was really hoping the new iphone would have it so that it would become 'mainstream', but guess we have to wait another year now. Also, doesn't help that stupid S Beam is incompatible with Android Beam (try transferring photos to any non-GS3 phone, it will fail..till we get updated to JellyBean)

and i read this on a youtube comment but I think it could hold some truth. could Apple have not included nfc (even if it wanted to/why wouldn't they want to?), because it already finalized its
