Test if your device still vibrates in the secret/hidden menu

I had this once on zeus rom

Try rooting and flashing another rom ;)

Or factory reset

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedel:
Hi,

First time it happened. tried everything but still cant fix it.

after a month or two on MIUI, I wanted to move to AOKP JB.

As I always do when switching ROMs, I backed up everything (efs, pictures, apps with titanium, etc) and format the internal sd card within the os to get rid of all the junk.

Then went into CWM (siyah) and wiped data and cache.

And now for my mistake, I foramt the /system instead of / cache.

So now, when Im trying to install the ROM as a zip file threw CWM I got an error 7.

When trying to do it on ODIN, it stuck on 'factory fs', 'cache', or 'boot'.

After some time, I got the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" message.

Then got rid of it after somehow succeeding installing a different cwm (the stock one) but nothing worked there either, exept installing the Siyah kernel zip from there.

What can I do now to get my phone back alive?

THANKS :crying:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj92942000:
I jumped from S1 to S3, but I'm sure it's applicable. You need to flash via odin stock rom that originally came with your phone. Then root then flash custom rom. Odd tho in past I've done the 5 formats, boot, cache, data, system, sdcard then while still in recovery flash rom. Good luck
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedel:
thanks

The problem is, I really cant remember what was the original ROM version. I bought it end of june 2011.

I cant even remember if it was a UK ROM, or an open europe one, or anything else.

The device is currently running LG firmware and it's not rooted, but suddendly it just stopped vibrating whenever receives messages or calls. However, in the defintions it is settled to vibrate but it just doesn't. Any clue why?

Lifehacker ran an article today about an issue with a security leak on Android today. When I test there test link, my phone running The Blu Kuban is effected. I am wondering if anyone knows if Sprint will have a fix on the GSII E4GT our if Ruj, the developer of the Blu Kuban rom can put in a fix. Or is this just a bunch of bologna, and I have nothing to worry about.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] times_infinity:
Its true, but the target devices use a dialer code that doesn't work on the epic touch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] THIRSTY GNOMES:
Are you positive on that? I don't know how much you can look into it, but that test page that lifehacker recomends to see if your device is can be affected, does work on my phone. The link brings up the dialer, and shows

MEID

x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x0x

The article says if your phone is safe, the dialer will show a phone number instead of displaying a system message.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g73giorgio:
Hello to everyone.

I believe the post title is self explanatory. I'm running a Jelly Bean ROM which works quite well (though not perfect) on my Galaxy S but I have to say that coming from a previous GB ROM, the battery life seems rather poor on this one.. do you know any JB ROMS that have a fairly good battery life? And if so, could you post the link to it?

Thanks :angel:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmysalvo:
I am sorry but poor battery life is a price that you have to pay for having the most recent Android version in a phone that otherwise will be stuck at GB.

Having said so, I must say that the JB stock rc13 v2 from elitemovil is not too bad regarding battery life
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g73giorgio:
Thanks for the reply even though the truth hurts most of the times :D! I suppose Galaxy S3 should be a better choice, soon!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parhelion69:
Actually "Jelly Bean" and "Good Battery Life" aren't compatible :D

Battery lasts 30-40% less on both my SGS III and the original SGS (I keep using it, it's still a great secondary phone!) with jelly bean, compared to their original OS versions

JB is damn smooth, but it won't last a day of heavy use.

Just use GB if you want good battery, and if you want ICS, Slim ICS is ok, but still far from GB in terms of battery efficiency.

Tried all JB releases, didn't like all of them, also on my Galaxy Tab 8.9, just a little bit laggy

Might I suggest to try f4k ROM, it's an ICS release and on both my and my girlfriend's SGS it runs incredibly good. It will last longer on a full battery than any other GB ROM I tried. In our cases it makes our trusty SGS's run about 20% longer and it's faster (feels faster anyway) accompanied by the Holo launcher. Rock stable as well, much more stable than the original Samsung stock ROM.

Good luck

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hornet_II:
I can tell you just about my own experience. In moderate use (up to 2 hrs of phone calls, 4-5 sms, fast look upon 3-10 e-mails and about 1-2 hrs of e-book reading).

I had GB 2.3.4 for a year and the battery life was almost 17 hours with moderate use mostly on 3g.

CM9.1 stable improved the battery life, same condition as above, to about a day and a few hours. Tried with semaphore kernel 1.3.0 and I didn't notice any big change.

CM10m2 still testing since I flashed it two days ago. Well, the battery lasted for two days, and still had 17% when I plugged in the charger last night.

[Windows Phone 7 General] tboy2000:
So do you use Live Tiles? Does it make your screen look great? Lots of tile flipping animation? Great to have updated info available? Or do you worry about battery life and turn off all background tasks? Do you think by the time you wait for the tile to update or flip over you may as well just tap it to launch the app.

Share your thoughts.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dinchy87:
Thats a strange question. because the Windows Phone UI is all about live tiles :) and the battery doesnt drain if my weather app uses internet. i still can get out 24-30 31 32 hours of using my WP7, i has a really good power managment. because my wifi is on all the time, never on off, two email accounts syncing as they get emails to my phone. and WP7 is all about live tiles. and i dont think an app could be this fast as an live tile. a live tile shows you a footbal result right when you unlock your device, because it has a live tile. :) and so it is with 1000 of other apps. weather, stocks, calendar, email, news like WPCentral...
[Windows Phone 7 General] thesecondsfade:
I'm not really sure why you're asking this question. Why would you have a Windows Phone and not use Live Tiles? That's half the reason the UI is so amazing. The difference in battery consumption using Live Tiles and not using Live Tiles is unnoticeable. My TMOUS Radar lasts a day and a half syncing 2 email accounts (using Push), and a slew of live tiles updating like TVShow, WeatherLive, King of the Sea, Words by Post, Nokia Drive, etc.

It's really frustrating considering i only have a debit pre paid gold master card. And the card you put on PayPal HAS to be a credit card . Like wtf.

Debit cards work on PayPal,

You can even link up your actual bank account - so no cards needed.

& seriously, $80?

Don't be stupid, ebay is your friend - I'd be surprised if you pay more than $5 or so.

How bro??? Can you help me out on how to?? Really wanna get this done so I can pass my phone to my lil bro.

That's your PayPal balance, this is not the money you have on the card - this is different.

PayPal will never show you the money you have available in your different cards/accounts.

How can I add the money on my card then????? Even on eBay payment method is thru PayPal ugh !
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
I don't know what this card is that you have and how it works,

Put money on it the same way you usually do.

Or login to your PayPal account and link up your bank account to avoid all card issues.
[HTC One X] joewong1991:
I just put my card details in and it worked allso you don't need to put money in PayPal to buy something you just buy it and PayPal take the money automatic

Don't have a bank account :/. Is it because I just didn't activate my card so I can put Monet on it (witch asks me to my ssn) woll it work then??? Or how about ...maybe you could get it.

Sorry, but if your having trouble using PayPal - then maybe contact PayPal customer service.

---------- Post added at 11:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 PM ----------

Have you never put money on this card before?

you do it through the vendor of the card usually.

PayPal is just a middle man, the money has to be already on your card.

The more I read your post, the more I'm concerned about your intentions here.

Is it a branded phone? AT&T? Call them and have them unlock it for free.

Why do you need it unlocked? Do you have a SIM from another provider so that you CAN unlock it? :)

Yea it is. And it takes like 1-3 days.. n because I would like to use it on another carrier. N not yet was going to but haven't got to unlock the phone yet.

Well, you can't unlock it without a SIM from another carrier anyway. You need that in so you can enter the unlock code.

[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] jrtorrents:
I wanted to respond to someones else's post about Windows phone's notification

system and I ended up creating something and showing it to a few people they

thought it was cool enough so I like I'd share.

here is a quick explanation ,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The notification tile/hub acts like a normal tile on the homescreen . It flips

and rotates different notifications as shown in the gif, but based on the

setting it can also be static.

when double pressed like launching an app it expands to fill the rest of the

screen , all this happen on the home screen. The remaining apps darken like it

does when moving around live tiles and the notifications show up as shown int he

second image. you close it and it returns to the normal home screen.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SIDE NOTE:

I have zero developer knowledge but am quite good design and using a cooked

ROM version of WP7.8 I can olnly imagine what can

be done with Windows Phone. Any one who finds this cool enough and have

developer experience can contact PM me. Maybe we can work to

have this work on Windows Phone .
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Budniu:
Good idea:good: (+) I wait for beta test:cyclops: (I'm not a developer but I can tested it).
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] tooly26:
very good idea!

hopefully some coders like ultrashot,heathcliff74 and of course all other coders have time to look into it...
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] JulietteOnXDA:
First one is debatable, but I dislike the notification tile concept, the live-tiles itself are notifications, so there is no need for an extra tile to 'mirror' the other tiles.

It's sort of contracting to the Live-Tile concept even.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Jackson5:
I agree with you that the live tiles itselfs are notifications... but with a notification tile, you dont need additional tiles like E-Mail, Messages,..

One Tile with all notification, where you can see all incoming mails, messages,... and i would be great if you can open your mails from this notification tile directly
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Budniu:
Exactly.

If we have eg. four email account we have to add to homescreen four tiles. In Windows Phone Notifications concept we have all email box in one tile + messages.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] guilhermedsx:
Looks awesome, but wouldn't every single app need to be patched to send notifications to the tile? Like Facebook, twitter, blah blah?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Sainti:
Interesting concept, but very hard to make. I don't think there is an easy way to intercept notifications from other apps. Expanded view is also something new on the platform, so it could require OS itself to be patched. Personally, I don't think it can be done, but good luck with the project.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] jrtorrents:
Yeah i thought so too, the most difficult part will be to intercept notification from the apps, which seems quite impossible .. but one can only dream,
