[Asus Transformer TF700] CandyAndy:
My unit have these strange white dots a bit like dead pixels. I sent it to Asus after 2 weeks of using. It was there 3 weeks and then returned and said nothing wrong. I was like wtf.. Now have more these dots but not sure if they still consider this as a flaw..
[Asus Transformer TF700] ImYoungxD:
Those are Hot Pixels. I had 2 on my prime and after a few months I had 3 more appearing on my prime. Luckily, I exchanged my prime for the infinity from BB...

Good luck with your device.
[Asus Transformer TF700] CandyAndy:
So what you are saying is that no way to fix them and will only get worse?
[Asus Transformer TF700] geeheeber:
Well, I have emailed and faxed my RMA contact and no reply yet. I also sent a PM to ASUS_USA on XDA. I will update this thread as this fracas unfolds.
[Asus Transformer TF700] yumms:
You can't fix em. They actually might get bigger...mine did on the Prime.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tempie007:
no problems with the czech service center. after 5 rma's (3 tf101, 2 unlocked tf201) im still happy with the service itself.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] mudkipstar:
Hi guys I would like to share some great apps that are F-R-E-E and are developed for a good cause. Its called Serval. Its basically a app designed to make calls via WIFI / Bluetooth without a need for a working network / data connection. No extra hardware needed. Just your lovely android and thats it. It is developed for rural communities with absolutely no phone connection. Give it a spin and support the devs if you can its really interesting might take a while to setup but worth the try.

Root is NOT required but having ROOT give you more features thats all. Its so handy you can even send an .apk via the app itself ;) nice touch!

Developer webpage : http://www.servalproject.org/

Video Demo of app : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYibygOdYMM

Download : https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDIxMiwib3JnLnNlcnZhbHByb2plY3QiXQ..

Some of us might not find this usefull at all but I find it great if you do road trips with friends abroad and you do not actually want to pay for that !@#$ expensive roaming bills etc etc. So you can call for F-R-E-E between cars / motorbikes or whatever form of vehicle you have.

Another app I find nice of the same features

Android Intercomm :

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hbmRyb2lkaW50ZXJjb20iXQ..

I am in NO REALATION with devs from the above apps mention, sharing cause they are developing for a good cause.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] system.img:
Wow! I wanted one of these apps!

Thanks!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] mudkipstar:
Give both of them a spin :p. I been searching for them for super long too so I figure other people might want it too! Both are in beta stage so maybe unstable do give it some time. Any questions regarding setup I can try to help :victory:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thetunicakid:
Ok ive mostly used sense roms for last couple of years with all model evos. I remember my og evo did for some reason get slight better signal on cm than others. Ok the oposite seems true on the lte.Ive flashed a few and all seem similar with asop. No matter how i set it i just dont get the speed i do with sense roms. Like 20-30% at least less? Update prl profile 0 proxy setting you name it. Is that common?3
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
All aosp ROMs are still early on, cm10 runs good but it's still just a nightly and it seems all 3-4jb Roms for the lte have basically the same issues.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbdowning:
I am sure this has been addressed but I can't find the answer. My contact ringtones do not work. Phone just rings the default.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
From what I understand it's a HTC Sense 4.1 problem I could be wrong though :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yerreka:
Hi, I used cm9.1 for a week but was disappointed with it's battery life, so i decided to try cm10 nightly. I did the CWM backup but after that i entered boot cycle and cannot boot to recovery now. Boot to download works fine, so what are my options now? Should i flash a stock rom and try flashing cm10 nigtly after that?

Edit: Managed to get recovery working but the recovery file itself doesn't work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajoslaf:
Try flashing Semaphore kernel for ICS via Odin, it may boot properly or it could get you to CWM, then you could flash a ROM... If not, download this http://d-h.st/4nP , it's pack of 3-file stock jw5 value pack, pit512, cf-root and Odin, flash it (if u know how), then just flash cm10 or cm9.1, your choice, there shouldn't be any problem
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yerreka:
Thanks alot! Worked in the second attempt (the semaphore flashing)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rembooooo:
I was upgrading from 9.0rc2 to 9.1 and encountered the same problem; could not get my phone into recovery mode, only download mode. Flashing Semaphore ICS 1.3.0 using Odin3 got my phone booting again without losing any data, settings or apps :)

hi

i have a rooted htc desire z phone with ics rom.

i have a problem with the touch screen, part of it wont work, i tried to wipe and flash the rom again and there is no change

i send a pic here it may explain what i have.

if there is any solution for this or at least what my phone is having, i will be thankful

thx :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alarmdude9:
I has a similar issue with an old phone and it ended up being the screen went bad. Have you tried a different rom to see if it does it as well? And did you notice any oddities with the screen before you flashed the new rom?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theevilhere:
well this is not the first time i use this rom i flashed it before and i used it for months and i re-flashed it again, its audacity beta 5 rom

and i didn't notice any oddities with the screen before i flash the rom

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiac09:
hardware

My phone did something like this too. It was a hardware issue. You will have to send it in to get fixed. You might be able to buy a digitizer on ebay and install it yourself. This may fix the problem and will be a lot cheaper.

I just bought a second hand desire z, it was a cheaper/better option for me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] smith1488:
I bought the tf700 about a month and a half ago after waiting close to 9 months for it. Unfortunately I am experiencing some problems, but I am not sure if the tablet is defective or I'm doing (maybe not doing) something to cause these issues. I have noticed people on other threads are experiencing some of the same issues, but not all of them. The problems include:

*browser constantly crashing/closing

*having to touch the screen multiple times for it to respond

*some websites or appls reloading/flashing multiple times while trying to scroll or type something

*while trying to type, the cursor moving around, jumping to the front of words or deleting words

*taking quite a while for webpages to load

*screen freezes

I really hope that these are problems tat can be fixed because I anticipated this tablet for so long. I find myself frequenly just giving up and switching to my desktop for faster results because it is extremely annoying trying to google something and the page closing or have to retype words in mulitple times because they get erased while typing. I have given up on trying to use the facebook app because the page gets all jumbled up or freezes constantly.

Please give me any advice or suggestion to how to fix these problems or do I just own a defective device?
[Asus Transformer TF700] fatpandas:
perform a hard reset and see if that helps. it won't erase anything so no worries.

power down tablet

hold power and vol down until you get to a boot screen

let go and just let it boot the rest of the way

and if you're using the dock, turn off the touchpad when you type. i find that i always hit it which is why my cursor jumped around. not sure if it's the same thing you're seeing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] smith1488:
Thank you! I am going to try that right now!!!! I dont have the keyboard dock =( so maybe I am hitting the screen or something but I have tried to type letter by letter before and sometimes it happens then too. AHH:eek:

Hard reset in prgoress..
[Asus Transformer TF700] flyhighx:
the issue with the browser closing seems to be an android issue right now and not exclusive to the tf700. I've seen threads complaining about the same browser closing issues on other devices and have seen it myself on my phone as well as the infinity. It doesn't seem to be isolated to one browser either.
[HTC Rezound] sshaar:
Important info: Running CM9 (len00bs)

So last night I had an AT&T sim card that i wanted to try out in the rezound. Powered down, popped out the vzw card, popped in the AT&T card. Couldn't get signal to show up, so i powered down and popped the vzw card again and got signal. I'm stuck on 3G and it won't go to 4G. I checked to make sure the settings were on LTE/CDMA, and I tried toggling LTE Only and it goes to no signal with a roaming logo. I tried toggling data on and off, and it still kicks on to 3G only. It was working perfectly prior to popping in that AT&T sim. Tried restoring my original backup through TWRP, but it won't go passed the 4G boot logo (assuming i need to flash the old boot.img back on for it to boot properly?). So then i restored the CM9 backup i had and i'm back to the 3G only issue.

Is there something else I need to do to get it to see this is a 4G card?
[HTC Rezound] sshaar:
Found the problem. Even though LTE was selected in the front end on CM9, I went into *#*#4636#*#* and it showed GSM was selected. Looks like popping in that ATT sim flipped this to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL), thus limiting me to 3G. I changed it to LTE/CDMA auto (PRL) and bam 4G is back. :good:

I've been using this fix on my x2 (cm7 beta 2) since the 12th and I enjoy geo caching and this has been a nice addition. Better sat fixes, faster and way more accurate. On the side my brother goes with me and uses his iphone, this makes my gps waaayy better! :)
[Motorola Droid X2] styleKIMCHEE:
Did you guys just adb push it? Or does flash work?
[Motorola Droid X2] DigitalMD:
Very clear instructions on how to do either in the OP. What are you asking?
[Motorola Droid X2] styleKIMCHEE:
I mean, when I thoroughly read and understood the very clear instructions I realized our device is not an officially supported device. With different devices come different issue. I was simply asking which method people had used successfully.
[Motorola Droid X2] crypted:
Any of the three methods should work. I recommend attempting the flash method. If it fails, move on to copying manually unless you already have your phone setup on your PC.
[Motorola Droid X2] 4x4snowboard:
I used method 3 and that worked out just as described. Then I've been testing with gps status and toolbox.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] serialteg:
Hi,

I just recently rescued this cellphone which I believe had Darkside 3v7 rom on it. After flashing a couple of factory roms thru odin, i could finally get thru to the OS itself, not without a hassle of force closes. I already wiped everything in the factory recovery. MY first problem was just a black screen after boot with all the capacitive buttons lit, but you could use the upper menu bar (as in mounting the internal / external SD, etc.) I got past that now.

Right now I don't have an IMEI recognized, and i cannot open the market due to force close errors. I was going to use HC-kTool to recover the Imei.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
[General Questions and Answers] greenland samsung:
Problem after failed firmware update.

I tried to Update my Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100G) using Odin 1.85

the Phone shut down before finishing the update. At that point I could not start my S2 the only picture I got was a black screen with a phone a “!” in a yellow triangle and a computer. I tried to upload the firmware again with Odin but it failed every time. I tried using Kies but it could not find the phone. I googled the problem to find a solution that could work and I tried several solutions without luck. But at last i tried the following advice see link:

xda-developers - View Single Post - [Q] Firmare upgrade encountered an issue - Am i done for?

I downloaded the .tar file that was referred to:

KERNEL_XWLPO.tar

and Odin worked and this file was downloaded. The problem is that now i only get the start page with the text Samsung Galaxy S2 with a yellow triangle "!" in the bottom. I tried plugging it to the USB port on my computer but it can't see the phone anymore and Odin and Kies can't see it so I can't upload another firmware.

Please help, I am desperate

I've flashed Epsilon project V5 on my RAZR XT910, while I was updating youtube on play store, an error appeared.

Here is the screen shot: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6Q2JDfTvQ9-WGpTWFp2VG11cGM/edit

Then, I've tried to remove youtube.apk from system\app and tried to install again, but their still got an error. So I reflashed the rom again to see if it worked, but finally it didn't.

There isn't any updating or installing issue on other apps so far.

Anyone could help please, thank you.

Don't get me wrong, I've had a good experience on Android and am going to miss a couple of things (customization, Transdroid, Swiftkey).

Anyone else jumping ship to the iPhone 5?

Try to not make this a hate thread. I am generally curious to see if anyone else is jumping ship or if you're staying with Android and a newer phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
Its hard not to hate but to each their own. After discovering Android, there is no substitute or replacement.

I've seen similar threads started in other areas of XDA and the OP gets taken to the cleaners. You won't have to worry about that here. That is, as long as upteen different threads don't start up lol

The choice is obvious :cool:
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I shiver at the thought. Out of curiosity, Why do you want to switch?

[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
Sorry for the double post, but I had to add this in and couldn't do it from an edit despite my best efforts.
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
why do you wanna make the switch? honestly if the dx2 is your first android phone, try a cheaper replacement (ie fascinate, dx, og droid) those phones arent anywhere as difficult as the x2. plus the og droid & fascinate have unlocked bootloaders and both are running jellybean :) so why leave the openness and fully user customization of android to the locked down, 'we know whats best for you' apple attitude?

I'm making a switch when the iPhone 5 comes out. My buddy is foolish and is selling me his g nexus for 100 so he can get an iPhone 5.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lorenzo_9:
I've done all. It installs supersuser app but the phone is not really rooted and apps that requires it doesn't work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Did you try opening the Superuser app?

What happens when you open an app that requires root? Do you get the request for su access?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lorenzo_9:
You can open the app but whith apps that requires root there are no requestes and they don't... Even using root checker you see that you're not rooted
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Re-run the entire procedure again (including pushing the su and Superuser.apk files). When I had done it, I used the latest version of su and Superuser.apk, but when I uploaded the files in the attachment in post #1, I used the files that Bin4ry had in his package, which I assume are older. Regardless, re-download the attachment in the first post and try it again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lorenzo_9:
Ok I'll do it and then I'll report you what happens. So now have you updated su and superuser.apk?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yes, I put the latest versions in the zip in the first post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] serty4011:
I can confirm that this works, and also that step 10b was not needed for me. This is the first time I have not used a toolkit so if I can do it, anyone can.

Running a Verizon Galaxy Nexus, this allowed me to update to the leaked Jelly Bean OTA with a locked bootloader. I first flashed stock 4.0.4 and locked the bootloader. I then used the exploit to gain root access, allowing me to apply IMM76Q and JRO03O OTA updates via stock recovery. (Rebooting between updates.) Thank you for creating a guide that this newb could easily understand and follow.

Works fine for my GNex, big thanks! How about putting it into a script for non-advanced users here?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Glad you got it working!

As for putting it into a script, I could but I'd rather not. As with most of the guides that I have written up, I purposely do not put things into a script so that people would actually go through all the steps and, by doing so, maybe get an understanding of what they are actually doing, and hopefully learn something in the process. If I would have packaged it up into a script, a lot of the less experienced users would not even try to go through the steps -- they would just use the script, and no one learns anything yet again. See here for some discussion on one-click scripts. Granted, blindly following a step-by-step is not much better, but I have tried to put comments and explanations throughout to facilitate learning. It's about the journey...

P.S.: I would appreciate it if no one else posts a script in this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
can i make a script that just puts in big text "STOP USING TOOLKITS AND 1 CLICKS"

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wictor1992:
Heh, fair enough. I think I'm learning a bit about adb :)

One question: I can't replace system APKs by installing them, it tells me that there is a signature conflict. How can I fix that? I thought it shouldn't happen after rooting. (I'm trying to install the "international" velvet.apk).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Let's try to keep this thread on-topic please.

But to answer your question, don't install the apk. Using a file explorer that has root access, copy it to /system/app (after making sure that system is r/w) and make sure the permissions are set to match the other apks in that directory.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] monkeypaws:
when running adb after running the command where i tell it to restore fake restore and then while the "exploit" is running ikeep getting , in cmd, link failed, no such file or directory, and it just keep doing that. is this normal or did i do something wrong.

****, I've already upgraded to 4.1.2. Any chances I could downgrade, to reroot and unlock bootloader?

Any hopes on having another method to root without unlock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No way to "downgrade". Since you have already upgraded, why not do an adb backup, then unlock your bootloader, and then restore the backup? It takes a bit longer than this method, but it is no more difficult...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordanishere:
Hmm. Has this exploit been patched in 4.1.2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
As stated in the first post: yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stfudude:
this is a shameless bump because no one answered my post before.

How many tries should we expect if we are stuck at step #8? I've retried for about 5 times already (from step #4) and still get $ instead of #. Can someone help me? :)
