[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ono_tuoyo:
i upgrade from gingerbread to ics a week back with odin there wasn't any serious problem except for some java errors msgs,occasional rebooting and battery disconnected alerts. The frequency with which all this error occur reduced to some manageable level which was okay with me. Two days ago i tried charging the phone it, displays the battery charging icon but the white dot that moves at the bottom stops at the 2nd white spot and the phone acts like i just re plugged it, i have tried booting into recovery or odin mode with the three button combination all to no avail.

I have tried this still no sign life.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unexist6969:
Try pulling out battery and wait 10mins, also check if u have enough battery left before u start odin again.

It's very strange if u can't use recovery or odin mode cuz the phone shouldn't boot in the first place.

I got the same problem my usb port is kinda broken, so i charge the phone with SGNote externel charger, but then my phone will act strange, It connects with charger and then disconnects when its unplugged.

This may help. :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ono_tuoyo:
Very funny i meant in regards to my fone problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Remove battery for 10 mins, then replace and leave to charge, even if nothing comes on screen etc just leave it plugged in and charging for a few hours or obvernight.

After that try booting up into download or recovery if still nothing happens try a USB jig. If that doesnt work your device is pretty much screwed and you will have to send away for JTAG flash or mobo replacement.

Btw, this has pretty much already been covered a million times in the other "my phone wont turn on" threads.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Practitioner:
hve u tried odin back to stock, if u already did odin try again with an earlier version of the modem, see if that helps, first before doing anything as u will loose data and u already have lost data no way of retreaving that, try a factory reset within ure phone 3 times if that doesnt fix it, then odin back again it could be that somewhere down the line u might of had a corrupt file while going back to stock.

Hi community this is my first thread open, sorry for my quite bad english but I'm not american ..

I would propose you 6 shots take by me: 3 by the my Asus Nexus 7 camera with Modaco app and 3 takets by my iPad 3 and know what you think!

Let's start!
[Nexus 7 General] veeman:
I have come to the conclusion that....

They're both only good for video conferencing. :)
[Nexus 7 General] poondog:
You missed the fact that they both suck :P

Why are the ipad pictures a quarter the size? Does it have a significantly lower resolution or something??
[Nexus 7 General] RockNrolling:
I agree with markj338. The quality of the pictures from both cameras seems relatively poor, but that is to be expected. It was hard for me to tell if either was better but I would lean toward the N7. (I'm a little biased. What can I say?)

The pictures are almost the same size when I'm viewing them. I don't know why the iPad pictures are small for you.

Sent from my Paranoid Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 General] Travisdroidx2:
The iPad pictures are smaller for me also. And I also agree the camera is only good for conferencing. N7 does look a little better to me as well.
[Nexus 7 General] irlanda3:
Why iPad 3 photos are smaller?

iPad 3 has frontal VGA Camera at 1.3 MP and pictures are at resolution 480*640p (send via mail and also imported by iPhoto it's same quality) while N7 camera is at 1.2 MP but pictures are at 1280*800p. So in forum you can see them in differently size.

Flash is not a problem, both haven't that.
[Nexus 7 General] CrazyPeter:
Errm they are only webcams.....

What did you expect?
[Nexus 7 General] CJHolderUK:
Uder is right, but you do need to scrub up on your Geography. :)
[Nexus 7 General] ÜBER™:
Hey hey theres no need for that...

Back to the ACTUAL disscussion the N7 blows the iSight out of the water even for a 1.2mpx ffc that isnt supposed to be taking pictures in the first place it does a relatively good job :). Thanks for comparison.
[Nexus 7 General] spooke:
You should have resized the Nexus 7 images to the same as the iPad 3 for a fairer comparison. :good:
[Nexus 7 General] Logan_M:
They look pretty similar to me. Though the camera isn't really meant for taking shots like these, so the test doesn't say much, they're really for face-to-face chatting.
[Nexus 7 General] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
The iPads color seemed washed out
[Nexus 7 General] reuthermonkey:
If you're running a comparison, the way the photos are presented matters a helluva lot.

Since this is annoying the hell out of me, I've fixed this for you.

​
[Nexus 7 General] irlanda3:
Ok sir, no problems.

The differents sizes was another point to discuss, N7 photos resized at 640*480 can remove something in quality but ok

I've only had HTC Devices since I first got my G1 in 2008 the reason I made this thread is every single HTC device(and Ive had every T-mobile one) I've had has had a pg--img.zip that you could load in HBoot so that that you can return back to stock, is there no such thing as one for the One S...or have I just overlooked? as this maybe my only alternative because of my issues with RUUs mentioned in my other thread. :confused:
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
2 thread, same issue = :(
[HTC One S] kirkcody:
Very true kind sir, but in my defense this thread was more of a question of if there are PGIMG.zips for the One S and seeing as I haven't really received much help with my other thread(thank-you to those that offered help) I decided to try another route after searching the threads and not finding an answer....without coming across as a douche may I ask how you felt that your reply was productive?

As productive a your thread bomb "bump". Your problem is unique, so one thread should be enough, kind Sir.

Hi all,

I tried to unlock my phone with the code provided by cellunlocker.net and no luck.

Method 1: when I insert my t mobile card, it doesn't ask for an unlock code( it should cuz this is a non art sim card right?)

Method 2: after punch in #7465625*638*(my unlock code)#. Nothing happens. (It should say something like unlock successful or not right?)

Heck even I can't check the lock status of my phone. I type in *#7465625# and didn't bring up anything.

Method 3: i type in #7465625*638*# and wait for it to ask the unlock code. It did nothing. Didnt ask for anything.

How can I enter my code if my phone doesn't ask for it. And it locked cuz i can't use t mobile sim.when I inserted t mobile sum it says no sim card.

Plz help. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I've run into the same issue here only I got my unlock code straight from ATT. SGSunlocker won't save the efs (even though it's in the save location it doesn't register as being saved) so it won't go to step 2.

I also have the at&t version. What i did was flash the R800i stock rom with flashtool. When you have the r800i firmware you can root it with flashtool also. About the boot loader, you cant unlock it manually, you have to pay Alejandrissimo to do it for you. Still there are some roms that dont need the boot loader to be unlocked, like gin2jellybean, which I'm currently using.

Greetings everyone,

Is there a way to disable the ringtone volume control using the volume rocker? Every time I use my phone, I keep hitting the volume rocker by mistake, changing from vibration mode to sound mode. I tried using apps like RingGuard and such, but they weren't effective and kept popping up in the notification center. Is there a way to get rid of the ringtone control option?

Completely disable the Volume buttons on Samsung Galaxy S3

I absolutely hate the placement of the power button on my Samsung Galaxy S3. When I go to holster my phone, if I accidentally hit the power button and wake the phone, when the phone fits into the holster the volume button will often brush against the holster and the volume will inadvertently change since the phone is now "awake" - this drives me CRAZY. I much preferred the power button to be on top of the phone, like my old Droid Incredible. But I do love my S3....

I tried the apps that "lock" the volume, but I was not happy with that solution. The apps seemed clunky, the geek in me doesn't like to have unnecessary app running in the background, and those apps tended to interfere with and/or alter the settings of the super-simple Silent Toggle Widget that I prefer to use.

So this is how I set up my phone:

- Completely disable the volume rocker button (see below);

- Use the Silent Toggle Widget on my Home screen to change the phone from "Sound" to "Vibrate" to "Silent";

- Use the Volume Control+ app to change the individual volumes via software, when the need arises, which it rarely does.

I love it. I don't find any real need to change individual volumes, for me the sound is either "on" or "off" - color me simple I guess.

So, to completely disable the volume rocker button on the Samsung Galaxy S3:

- Root your phone (sorry)

- Edit the file /system/usr/keylayout/sec_keys.kl [note the plural "s" in sec_keys.kl]

- Comment out the first two lines with the pound sign (#) to disable key 115 volume_up and 114 volume_down

- Reboot

Hope someone else finds this useful :)

this is a real shame that yoy have to disable the whole rocker, as this functionality has been for years in the iPhone...

H all

I've had quite a bit of experience with modding my old SGS. I have recently acquired a S2

Anyway it's running stock 4.0.4 can i just go ahead and flash SiyahKernel? Then i can install a custom

rom (MIUI). Or will i have to root before flashing Siyah?

Not a complete noob lol.but seems a little different to the old S

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poroto:
Siyah is an already rooted kernel, so as soon as you install Siyah on ur device, u'll also get root.

Try flashing a safe kernel asap, since your stock 4.0.4 is highly dangerous when it comes to wipe data. In fact, your device will get an instant brick if you wipe.

Yeah i read about that. Thanks :)

Did you reinstall (with wipe and all these things) ?

If not, then try it.

Which MiniCM10 version are you using and

Try to take out the sim and restart without it

and put it back in when fully loaded :)

Report back.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bcobco:
thanks for the support. here are the versions that i tested:

kernel: E10_nAa-jb-02_2.6.29.6-nAa-jb-02.ftf

android: MiniCM10-4.0.1-robyn.zip

gapps: gapps-jb-20120923-signed.zip

steps:

1, check latest original firmware

2a, root

2b, check root

3a, unlock bootloader

3b, check unlocked

4, flash kernel

5, reboot, and enter recovery:

6, wipe data, cache, dalvik. (not wipe battery)

7, install minicm for robyn zip

8, install gapps for jb zip

9, reboot.

10, check everything works.

mobile network fails.

so i decided to flash original firmware with pccompanion and install minicm9.

minicm9 works pretty good. mobile network work.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] x10man:
From miniCM9, boot into CWM and go to mounts and storage then choose format /system then /data and /cache. After that, flash nAa-JB. see if that works.

1: from minicm9, enter recovery.

2: format /system, /data, and (unmount previously) /cache.

3: proceed to install minicm10 (flash kernel and install zip minicm10+gapps)

no mobile network. i will be using minicm9 until the next minicm appears, i will test that new version.

EDIT

i have noticed that i cannot install minicm9 from minicm10. so i have to restore original firmware in order to install minicm9.

and, minicm10 does not run any installer script. not the same as minicm9, that run a installer in the process.

ps: thank you both! i appreciate

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vetteguy112233:
I found a guy via a local classifieds website selling a Thunderbolt with clean ESN/MEID. He explained he got the phone wet (aparently it didn't get wet enough to trigger the moisture stickers), it worked for a few days and then would no longer power on.

I live 30 miles away from him, so I had a family member meet this person and pay the $20 for the phone. I had him make sure it came with the 32gb micro sd and it did! He is coming to my house this weekend, so I'll get the phone then.

I'll try my wifes Thunderbolt's charger and battery to see if either of these are the problem, but if it is water damaged, would the rice trick do any good at this point? Would leaving it on a heater vent do any good? Any other tricks to try?
