Try installing a new recovery thru the bootloader before you try flashing any ROM's. If you can successfully install a new recovery, see if you can get into recovery mode from the bootloader.

[LG Optimus 2x] borntonag:
Hi everyone,

I'm having some trouble managing contacts with this ROM, because when I try to import SIM contacts to default adress book (sugestted in ROM thread because I think it's not possible to just show SIM contacts), it stops at 100% and I have to click "Cancel", then almost all the contacts appear are replicated 5 times.

Is there any app I could use to replace default adress book? LG deafult app?

Best regards
[LG Optimus 2x] borntonag:
Problem Solved

Problem solved.

Solution: After remove all contacts from phone (not sim) import all contacts from SIM to phone (gmail account) using "Touchpal Contacts".

To add a contact to the SIM card I use "SIM Contacts" very simple yet very effective app.

Requesting help from the Android experts!! Had a problem with my new Samsung S3. It wasnt connecting to the Adhoc wifi network setup on my home lapatop(Vista).. a iphone and other office laptop are able to detect it..but my Samsung S3 was detecting and connecting to other wifi hotspots without any hastle... I followed one of the links here in this forum and replaced the wpa_supplicant file. I did copy the old one but somehow its not there now..dono how I missed. Now after copying another wpa_supplicant file, wifi service is broken.. it simply doesnt come up not doest it give an error..Please advise!! Have reached out to some of my friends asking if anyone has a similar SG S3 bought from the same country(UAE)/telecom provider but no luck yet.:crying:

My phone is unlocked, rooted and S-OFF.I was with "Pyromod.CyanogenMod7.2.0-PM-Nightly-20120121-Signed"....everything was find before phone suddenly restart and stop read my SD card.I try factory reset and nothing.After that I try to install the same ROM from the SD card because in CWM I see my card and CWM give me error which I didn't saw because he restart.And now i have only recovery without ROM and without reading SD card.I don't know what to do now.Also I forget CWM now give E: can't mount /sdcard/

The phone is Vision PVT ENG S-OFF

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xhitz:
Did you take the sdcard out and see if the computer can read the files? Also did you you put the usb cord to your phone from PC and mount usb storage to see if the files are on there?

If no to both, don't fear bcuz you can always adb push one on there.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killj0y:

[HTC One X] Mrs.Poppins:
So my One X got stolen for the second time now (yeah, lucky me) and this time I wanted to buy it used. Well I got one very cheap, but it seems to have a software defect of some sort.

I charged it briefly and it actually seemed to work. The red light was on and so I left it for another two hours to charge some more. Unfortunately this did not help (would have been too easy). The guy I bought it from showed me, that when he plugged it after a minute or so, the led would blink red for a few times. This does not happen every time however. I tried the hard reset with no response. I tried to restart it by holding down the top button with no response. Only once it was vibrating like when it is booting, but the screen stayed black and the button row was blinking shortly.

When I connected it to the PC it was able to install the HTC Android Phone USB Device but showed that there was no driver found for APX. I have never seen that one before.

I've tried to find some answers on this board, but I don't understand jack :( I don't want to learn all there is about smartphones, I don't root them, I don't install anything that doesn't come from the market. Usually. As I said, I am a total noob, so please use noob-language ;)

PS: The seller couldn't tell me anything about the mobile. He said he would sell it for a friend. I fear it's stolen, but that's tomorrows problem since I can't see the IMEI w/o getting the phone to work :(
[HTC One X] BenPope:
The original sim tray has the IMEI on it.

Are you saying that the device is reported as APX in device manager? Then it's back to the retailer or HTC, it's not recoverable.
[HTC One X] Mrs.Poppins:
Thanks a lot for the tip with the IMEI. I went to the police station today and checked it out, luckily it's not stolen :)

About the software: The PC does recognize the phone as HTC Android Phone USB device, however it also finds another new hardware called APX for which it can't find any software. So does that really mean it can't be fixed at home?

And if that's so would I have to pay if I send it in (I do not have a receipt) or does HTC know whether I have warranty (which should be obvious since this mobile is new on the market).
[HTC One X] xbiggyl:
- Turn off your phone by holding the power button.

- Hold the Volume-Down button and turn on your phone (while keeping the Vol-Down pressed).

- Do you get to hboot?
[HTC One X] Mrs.Poppins:
No, I've tried that before, it didn't work. I did send it in yesterday. They said I should get it back in 10 days time. I hope this is covered and I don't have to pay for it.

Thanks for you help!
[HTC One X] xbiggyl:
Good luck mate! Hopefully you won't have to pay anything :)
[HTC One X] Mrs.Poppins:
So I did get it back, but it won't recognize my SIM card. HTC told me to send it in again and I am really pissed. I don't want that. It seems to work just fine, it just won't accept the SIM. It asks for the PIN code but then it says my SIM is not right for this network (which is any network I am trying). Any solution for this? :(

[HTC Rezound] travishanson1979:
I posted a similar question earlier today, but I found the answer. Now I would like to be a little more specific. I have a feeling I won't be able to get what I am looking for, but it's worth a shot.

I found a ROM with a bluetooth stack that allows my Rezound to connect to my ps3, but when I tried to hook it up to my TV via MHL it didn't work. So then I decided to flash a different ROM. This time I got a working MHL connection to my television, but no bluetooth connectivity to my ps3 controller.

Is there a ROM out there currently that has the ability to connect my ps3 controller to my phone AND has MHL capabilities?
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
You are going to have to go to one of the old sense 3.6 ROMs.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] konceptz:
Hey guys, since T-mobile is rolling out 1900 Mhz, I was wondering if we could use this on our SGS3s.

I've read reports that say 1900Mhz PCS should be 33% faster than the lower powered 1700Mhz AWS. I would love to test this and seeing as I'm in NYC, I *should* get this.

33% increase source

I did this to test.

*#197328640*#

UMTS->Debug->Phone Control->Network Control->Band Selection->WCDMA Band Preference->1900

Which dropped phone signal, and then promptly found signal again.

It did not, however, register onto the network.

I went to Manual network selection and chose T-mobile. Which told me "error registering on network".

Now, I'm wondering if I've missed a step, or I need a 1900Mhz enabled sim, or could Tmo have just not enabled it yet?

Anyone have any experience with this?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kmdub:
Where did you read/hear that the AWS frequency bands operate at lower power? I didn't see anything of the sort at the link you posted, and find it unlikely.

Perhaps there is just no PCS available in your area yet. That is the first thing I would think.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] konceptz:
Ah it seems I'm mixing sources. I'll edit the op or this post when I find it after dinner.

Something about aws vs pcs technologies. Once again I'm not researched on these terms so forgive any mismatched sets.

I think you're probably right about lack of 1900 bands in this area. I took a look at the 1900 band spotting map and realized that ny metro distribution is more sparse than implied.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] techpreneur:
I thought 1900 came out when hspa+ did
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aNYthing24:
It might not be completely rolled out where you live.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cbhawsar:
Dont try that now. It is currently deployed only in few parts of DC, NY, NJ, SD and vegas. You should try again in jan 2013
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tamasrepus:
Not sure where you got any of what you said—the article definitely does not say "should" nor does it say anything about "higher power".

It also says T-Mobile's network modernization effort "have shown a" (that's not "should") a 33% increase, not just the move to 1900 MHz. Their modernization effort includes switching to an antenna-integrated radio and a whole host of technical stuff not mentioned in the press release.

---------- Post added at 12:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 AM ----------

The technology is HSPA+. AWS and PCS are the names of frequently-used wireless bands.

Physics would dictate that performance is WORSE on 1900 MHz (PCS) than 1700 MHz (AWS) (generally, lower the frequency, the better—a big reason why Verizon's LTE on 700 MHz rocks so much).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] konceptz:
While I'm sure the verbiage I used was not entirely correct, should vs have shown.

Physics does not show lower frequency to carry more information by definition of the word. Implementation certainly can have effects on utilization as well as other factors such as range, but given equal proliferation, a 1900 MHz wave will obviously carry 19/17 more information than a 1700 MHz ( wave.

However knowing some basic light and optics physics, a 700 MHz wave will have a much larger range. Best example being AM vs FM radio.

I did read the power (possibly TX power) of PCS 1900 MHz could be implemented in a higher level than current AWS 1700 MHz, however I now recall it was just a theory that some members at Hofo were kicking around. I didn't source that so I hope readers would not take that slip in verbiage as fact.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] brfield:
The thing with the frequencies is, the lower ones pass through objects and buildings easier. It's not the amount data that can be carried, but the quality of the connection. The higher frequencies get all messed up b buildings and everything else.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] konceptz:
Yeah definitely, which is why am is more pervasive than fm.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kmdub:
True. The basic rule is higher frequencies are an advantage for capacity, and lower frequencies are an advantage for range/penetration. Of course, this assumes all else being equal. There are many things carriers do to optimize bandwidth and range for whatever use plan they may have. These general rules apply whether the technology is GSM, CDMA, UMTS, LTE, or whatever. Also, remember the AWS bands are only 1700Mhz on the uplink; Downlink is 2100Mhz. That may lead to the perception of lower power, since physics would say the PCS bands will penetrate better.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] konceptz:
Ah interesting, I somehow thought that the opposite was true.

You're right that band frequency is just layer 1 of the RX/TX system. But still I'm glad we are able to talk about that to build from the base.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jgalan14:
Yup Vegas have it for sure my friend has an unlocked 4S and it works fine, I wanted to get a gs3 international to try but I'm not sure yet. I mean 500$ ain't worth it at the moment

Is there anything out that is somewhat comparable?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] apacseven:
There was an OTA this week that addressed this issue, have you tried it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] theactualchrisbrown:
The GNex is probably the next best thing. Did you try flashing the newest radio (VRLG7 - http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34053-officialmodems-verizon-sgs3-sch-i535-odin-or-recovery-flashable/)? It's supposed to fix that issue, though some people are reporting still having issues with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ripken204:
yes.. that does not fix it and there are others on the vzw forum with the same exact issue.

going back to stock and even factory resetting does not fix the problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PaulG1488:
Just have them send you another s3 the only thing close would be a Gnex but I just upgraded from one and not looking back.

Sent from my Galaxy SIII
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Product F(RED):
What's funny is that my i9300 (International model) has an extremely similar problem, where everything but calls work, and trying to make one will make the call hang up and say "OUT OF SERVICE AREA". Then the modem reboots and the phone doesn't see the SIM for like 10 seconds. Everyone with this issue says it's a hardware problem that you have to send the phone to Samsung to fix. That might be why they're ignoring the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ripken204:
I was already sent a new phone 2 weeks ago, does not fix the problem at all.

I also tried a new SIM card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jonapunk:
I know this will sound funny but go to a Verizon store and tell them you want to try a different sim card out that may fix the issue as well. It happened a lot to me while with tmobile that my sim would need to be replaced about once every other year
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PaulG1488:
He said he already tried a new sim card.

Anyway I still say it's worth trying another replacement or two even though you already have once before you decide to switch because I really don't find anything to come close.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ripken204:
just talked to tech support, they acknowledge that the NO SIM issue still exists even after the OTA...

I am actually debating switching to my old phone for now and waiting for that next OTA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
thats wierd i have never had the no sim issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Product F(RED):

liked how the microusb easily plugged in.

It still amazes me when manufacturers keep hush hush on accessories when they could probably sell more if they announced them or listed what is coming right after they announce a device.

I bought this for my Note+Hybrid case for my mounting bike. It must be perfect for Note II too.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] reyals1:
i hope it is like the one for sgs2, that's a great active holder
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] skee^:
Dont matter what manufacturer but i want the Microusb to be able to inject, im an active car user in and out 20 times a day everytime i put it in the charger, doing so by manualy putting a cord in to the bottom will probably destroy the phone after a while.

With this you easily put in and slam the charger in i a sec without ware and tare, they have so far existed for S2, Tab7, Nexus, Note1. S3 didnt get any :(

Since when did a car stop to be a Vehicle??
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] twospirits:
by the way, who makes that? i thought Motorola had something similar.

For Note 1, hoping there is one made for Note 2.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DanielW81:
How long does brodit usually take from release of a new phone to availability of a car mount for it?

At the moment I am using a passive dock from brodit for my desire hd. But my note 2 is here. Can't wait to use that in my car.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] drexappeal:
Which "official" Samsung car dock do you have? Is it the universal one?

I'm still waiting on the official Note 2 release at the end of the month, but Note 2 specific car dock is my #1 priority and I'd hate for it to be Universal, like was released for the SGS 3. I prefer having a dock that I don't have to plug the USB in, after mounting the phone.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] samusalo:
Here's todays reply from Brodit, when I asked about the Note 2 passive holder:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] audiobookman:
excellent thanks for that, ive used brodit on my dhd, htc one x and really wanted it on the note 2, you have just made my day thanks!!!

now for a long 2-3 week wait..
[HTC One X] stratax:
I sold my htc amaze a few months ago to buy the n9 and im getting tired of not having any app selections (it was cool at first), and the one x looks pretty sick. found someone on craigslist that is willing to trade but he dropped the phone and the screen doesn't turn on. he has a new digitizer for it but not an LCD. They aren't too expensive on ebay (found one for like $40). he said the phone turns on and everything works (capacitive buttons, sound, etc). The thing im worried about is if it has water damage, is there any way to find out? and if not do you guys think its worth it?

thanks :)

edit: nevermind did more searching on the water damage indicator and found it. still would like to know your opinions/advice though
[HTC One X] BenPope:
A screen repair requires the digitiser and LCD. Just do a search for broken screen threads here.
[HTC One X] stratax:
thanks for your reply. yeah ive watched a few videos on it but since they are selling the LCDs on ebay separated from the digitizer I figured you could replace it itself..

edit: im reading on other threads that they are two separate units? some people are saying they are on unit and others are saying the opposite. starting to wonder if its worth it..
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Official ones come as one unit and cost more. It'll cost about 150 UK pounds for official repair. Factor that into your cost, and the fact that it's second hand, and the fact you can't test it properly... Is it worth it? I doubt it, but a working One X is an incredible device.
