[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niv_defy:
i have only four options available.

* Reboot System now

* Apply SDCard:update.zip

* Wipe data/factory reset

* Wipe Cache Partition

last night i tried with all the options and the only thing happened, just got all my data and app wiped. When I reboot the device, i got my eclair back and restored all the data using titanium. Am I doing something wrong here?

In fact, my device is not vodafone dependent. There are no updates available till date. In addition, i was trying to flash it using ICS CM10.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] psudeke:
I wanted to ask the community for some general advice before flashing my first ROM on my VZ RAZR Maxx. I'm not quite a noob when it comes to this, I tried a bunch of ROM's on my fire (which is really why I bought it in the first place), but have been a bit hesitant when it came to doing anything to the phone. Finally this week I was tired of the bloat and lag,so i rooted and installed safestrap. Root went fine, but because of my own stupidity, got stuck in a boot loop for a couple hours after putting safestrap on. Taking a lesson from that experience, I wanted to see if anyone had some general advice to offer.

I'm used to TWRP, but safestrap is a much different looking interface. Is the process basically the same? Factory reset, flash, wipe caches? Anything else I need to be aware of before enabling ss? I'm leaning towards the Black Widow rom, seems like a good place to start.

Thanks in advance for any advice!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Fracta1:
It's fine to enable Safe System right away, but it's a good idea to make a backup of your stock ROM first, of course ^-^ After Safe System is enabled, I believe you have to format the system as well before installing a ROM. It's under "mounts and storage" and then format /system I believe. Then typical data, cache and dalvik wipe.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] psudeke:
Thanks. I'm planning on pulling the trigger tomorrow, but have a question about enabling safe system. What I thought caused my boot loop in the first place was doing that without a rom installed on the safe/non-safe side. Again, my fault for reading only the install instructions and figuring I could make my way through the rest. Just don't want to have to run it over with my car and cash in on insurance (only reason I even took it)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mattman122:
Make sure you download gaaps. You will need it to get your app store. Some roms come with gaaps built in and some do not. I am still new to the game but i have enjoyed learning about it all. Luckly i have a buddy at work that can help me if i have issues. Also you will want a app like titanium backup so you can restore your apps and freeze any bloatware or un wanted apps on your new rom. For example i use google chrome and not the stock web browser. So i just freeze the stock so i dont have to see it. Also make sure you make a back up before you wipe your system just in case something happens you can always go back to the way it was.

I recommend the ics eclipse rom. Have been playing with jekyll but had some issues and went back to eclipse
[HTC One X] maarten_iceman:
My problem was when i flash a new rom the battery was on 40 % and the flash fail.

and i want to try it again ang give the message "not enough battery less then 30%"

The simple way to charge your phone is to download "One_X_All-In-One_Kit_v1.1"

See: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1604439&highlight=one+x+kit

Then start your phone in bootloader with the usb cable in your PC "Hold Power Button and -volume button"

(If your Battery is realy empty wait 1 min and hold is around 10 sec.)

Then select "fastboot" with the power button en go to "reboot bootloader" do this over and over for arround a half houre.. ( borring job )

If you done this your battery is full enough to flash a recovery "TWRP 2.1.7" Only this one becouse with cwm You cant charge your battery!!!!!

If you done this go to "HBOOT" on you Phone and select "Recovery"

Press power and then shutdown your phone in TWRP!!

If you done this put him in the charge and after a while start you phone and go again to recovery and you can see you BATTERY%!!!!

Not full?? SHUT IT DOWN and wait longer.. he only charge when you shut him down!

good luck.. if this dont work ask.. i have also a other way .. updat comes later....

[HTC One X] backfromthestorm:
Then use the latest cwm. Charging is fixed.
[HTC One X] maarten_iceman:
I tryed dont work if your phone is realy empty... i had this problem jesterday...

ps you talk about cwm 5.8.4.0 ??
[HTC One X] LammariOm:
I never had this problem, I flashed my phone many times with less than 40% of battery. and it's charge when I in cwm normally, no need to all this steps :-/

Hello, when on a voice call using a wired headset (without its own volume controls) the call volume remains too loud.

I have looked unsuccessfully to find a similar "service mode" in my GNEX like in the GS phones, where one can change the default volume value in the service mode menu.

Any ideas on how to lower the headset volume?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bri.kwong94:
Hello XDA,

Up until last week, I was happily using my Transformer Prime tablet with CM9 Release Candidate 2 and AOKP Milestone 6. Then my Galaxy Nexus came in the mail and I fell in love with JellyBean and I wanted it immediately. I downloaded the latest CM10 Nightly. I started downloading every time GooManager told me there was an available update.

So I kept updating until one day GooManager helped me download a version of the CM9 NIGHTLY instead of the CM10. My tablet was then stuck in the boot animation until the battery died. I wiped and then tried to re-flash the rom hoping I won't be stuck but I was stuck again. I don't know how to add any files to my tablet since the only time it functions is when I'm in TWRP and I can't get past the boot animation. I can't update my TWRP because I don't know how, so I don't have external SD card support either. I had ONE recovery image from when I made the switch from CM9 to AOKP but it seems like I deleted it so I have no idea what to do.

Is it bricked? Can I fix it? I'm not getting error messages.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sandiegoan:
I just got a Galaxy S3. I want my MT4GS to go to my wife. She's currently using a cheap slider with no data plan (Gravity S).

So, I just plugged her SIM card into my freshly reset (but rooted) phone. Wifi off. Navigation and google maps work with satellite views, which means that there is a data connection. I'm curious as to whether this is data I would be charged for.

My wife does maybe 10 messages and ten minutes a month. I don't plan to get her hooked on internet or email. I thought that having navigation would be a good thing. I do have wifi, so I could download maps ahead of time, but from what I have seen, navigation instructions are still a data user. I turned off the data and the maps don't work.

With all that above, I have my question. Will I get billed for a small amount of data?

Rooted, is there any way around it?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
It's at the carrier level, so there's no way around it (like throttling and the old services.jar trick). Are you both on the same plan? That might save you some headache.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sandiegoan:
My wife's current phone is a basic phone that has slide out keyboard and touch screen. I am not now paying for a data plan. When I simply put the sim card in the MT4GS, the messages were available. They might be stored on the sim card, I don't know.

I brought up Google Maps and the local map came up. I added the satellite view and it came up. I didn't turn on wifi and I didn't turn off mobile data.

My main question is, If the phone doesn't get used much and we don't use web or email, will we get charged or will the data stop? There is a limited amount of data that comes with the phone to power the weather widget on the home screen.

I just don't want to get any surprises when the bill comes up next time.

Any information would be helpful.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
You need to turn off mobile data on the phone. Wifi is ok to use, but if mobile data is on, you will get charged per use. Not sure what the rate is, but it's usually steep.

Even if you don't use mobile data, smartphones are designed to constantly pull data. Which is why you'll get data charges if you don't turn it off. That's just how they are built. Gmail sync, weather updates, widgets, apps, etc. It's impossible for you to control how and when your phone uses data unless you're manually controlling each and every app.

That said, if you turn off data, you will lose MMS since it relies on mobile data

Technically, a data plan is REQUIRED when running a smartphone, but lately I've seen almost everyone get away with it. I'm not sure if they revoked the rule or they just don't enforce it anymore. Last time I checked, they're authorized to tack a data plan onto your account if they catch you using one of these phones.

SOURCE: I use a smartphone with no data plan

Check out my thread posing a similar question, it may help:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1635679

The app I mentioned there was an amazing idea for someone that doesn't have a data plan. Let me know if you figure out how to make it work
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] soldierexile:
I think t-mobile charges u for the initial plan, like for a smart phone your plan would typically require some sort of data like 100mb to start at 4g, but there all unlimited as far as I know, and throttled after you go over the given amount, anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but to be sure look at t-mobiles contract plans with data, may say #mb/gb of 4g/unlimited mines a month 2 month prepay of 2gigs and in my account says 2gigs/unlimited because they throttle you once your over
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sandiegoan:
Not sure I am understood

The phone my wife has is a dumb phone with a touch screen and a slide out keyboard. Because it can get weather and some email, there is limited data available.

When I put her sim card in the Slide 4g data is available. Somewhere there is a line that gets crossed and charges start occurring. I'm just trying to find out where that line is.

If she only makes calls and text, there is no problem. I can turn on wifi, but it doesn't help get directions when she is out. This wouldn't be a regular thing but I would like to see it available.

I am fearful of calling tmobile because it might flag my account. That is why I am asking here first.

Thanks.:confused:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
There's no way your wife has been using her phone without some sort of mobile data. Either pay per use or part of your plan. It's not possible to get email and weather on your phone unless you have data or are using wifi

Ok so then from what I understand is you wife has a phone with the smallest data plan on it

Then you just have to watch out for data overages. Your limit must be pretty small (not sure what it is)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sandiegoan:
there are minimal data accounts for dumb phones

As far back as almost 4 years ago I had weather and email without the $5 web account. Since it was the same limited web that you got with a flip phone and it wasn't practical and usable, there was the $5 for the web. I had constantly updated weather and I had email to my gmail, and live/hotmail addresses. It was very hard to use and to configure (not the weather, which had a little picture widget with the tempurature) but it did have limited data. I could download maps. Again on a dumb phone, it was mostly not worth using, but I had a little taste of a smart phone in early 2009.

So, I guess that all the expertise here is on Android phones with full data plans. I was hoping that someone here would know about the limited data plan that IS on the Samsung Gravity S. I asked here because I want to see how far I can go with the no data plan and still use that limited data.

Seriously, we're talking about a tech less person. The old phone has a plastic screen and is hard to use.

I see that I am not getting what I want here.

Thanks for trying.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Coug76:
I think you are right about not getting your answer. I wonder if you can get on their CS chat anonymously and find out that way. I feel where you are coming from in not wanting to ask directly and getting hosed for your trouble. Whatever you find out please post it here if you don't mind so we can all benefit.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Yeah.

Maybe go into a TMobile store, or *maybe* a Best Buy and ask the reps in there, as they might tell you something different too.. Dont tell the TMo Store reps u are a member already just ask hypothetically how their data billing works.

I am sure many people ask the same questions. Good luck! :good:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] soldierexile:
Answer will you get charged data/, t-mobile offers unlimited data, w/ limited 4g, click your "my account" application, it will say "data plan amount/data limit". If data limit says unlimited, you have unlimited data, if it shows a limit it will either charge u to go over or just turn off your data make sure the phone is stock, and factory or it may not state the correct amount,

But like someone said above stated call t-mobile ask them when they charge you and what your limit is. That is your best bet, don't let them know you have put your sim in a new phone, though they probably know already.

Hold down the power button until it shuts off. Then plug it into your computer.

Then turn it on and right away press the power button and both volume buttons at the same time.

Then use the volume buttons to navigate to recovery and then you should be able to try flashing the rom again.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
Exactly, Samsungs bootloaders aren't locked. And theres no fastboot on these. So everything is done in recovery or odin. And s off is an htc thing. And if youve never used it, definitely try twrp its worth checkin out. And since you sound like your new to this I would check out mskips toolkit. Simplifies the steps youll see in qb's vids

To sum it up tho,

Flash twrp- http://db.tt/5TTdVP8o

I have been the proud owner of a Galaxy Nexus for a few months now. I am using T-mobile with no data plan since I have wi-fi access almost everywhere. The only problem I have is MMS. Because I leave my data off to avoid unwanted charges, I cannot receive the occasional picture that people try to send me. I have talked to T-Mobile several times, and no one wants to help me because I have a device that was not purchased on contract. I have heard of apps like Droidwall, but I would rather not root.

Yesterday, I was experimenting with my APN settings and changed APN type to only MMS. This may be the solution I have been looking for. I was able to receive MMS when I enabled data, but Chrome would not even try to load a page because it could not find a connection. The Data Usage page in Settings showed the only apps using data as Messaging and Android OS. As far as I know, messaging is not going to run up charges since I have unlimited messaging. It is the OS process that concerns me. So far, I have not gotten any charges for data, but I haven't left the connection open for more than a few minutes. Has anyone tried this, and if so, was it a good solution to the classic "no data plan" problem?

Just make a separate APN called "mms" with your MMS information in it, and under "APN Type" you make it "MMS".

If that doesn't work you're probably going to be looking at filing a warranty claim or else trying to replace the hardware yourself (e.g. get one with a cracked screen or something on ebay and cannibalize it for parts).
