[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retfeg:
I am experiencing a screen flicker on my Nexus 7.

It happens once every 5-10 minutes always in the same spot, across the bottom third of the screen.

I am running Paranoid Android 2.1.6 rom on it.

It is still within the two week exchange policy of the best buy where i purchased it. Yet, if i can diagnose the problem and fix it, i would prefer not to exchanging the unit.

Is it a rom problem or a hardware issue?

Can someone please help?

Much appreciated.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logic_:
Define flicker.

If people here talk about screen flicker they refer to an issue where the brightness of the entire screen changes. It happens on low brightness and seems to be related to wifi.

What you're describing leans more to another known issue, namely the vertical stripe. It happens periodically and manifests as a single vertical line (in landscape) across the screen for a few frames duration. This seems to be a software problem and is reportedly fixed by flashing motley's kernel.

If your problem is really 1/3 of your screen flickering then to me that's an unknown issue and I would rma if I were you. Unless it's to do with your rom, for rom related issues you should check the thread. Can't hurt to try another rom before swapping device ofc.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retfeg:
Thanks so much for your reply.

The verical stripe is exactly the issue I am having.

Can I flush the motley's kernel right on top of paranoid android?

The vertical line is thin, it doesn't take up tbe third of the screen.

Hey there,

After 2 years I've decided to root my SGS2, Ive been through flashing with nokia's and that kind of things. However, Im a total NOOB in android rooting.

My problem is the following:

I've updated my phone to ICS 4.0.4 (biggest mistake of my life).

Now I've searched everywhere to find a root manual for my Firmware-version, but I keep coming up with german sites (I'm Dutch).

Google translate does its work like a piece of sh**, so I've lost all of my faith.

After some crappy translating, I read something about a hard-brick of this firmware.

My question is: Wich version is safe to root on my phone?!

Info about my phone:

Carrier: T-mobile

Model: GT-I9100 (ofcourse)

Android version: 4.0.4

Baseband version: I9100BOLP7

Kernel version: 3.0.15-1056084 dpi@DELL170 #3 SMP PREEMPT Fri Aug 24 17:36:36 KST 2012

Build number: IMM76D.BOLPM

I hope my question isn't a dumb one, if so, I'm sorry!:(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
dwnld the .tar file of the latest siyah kernel and flash the same thro 'ODIN' to root ur phone:)

since custom kernels like siyah are safe without any brick bug:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soulcap:
Allright! that's a quick awnser!

I'll look into it! Many thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soulcap:
Im still not sure wich one I should use, the siyah version I've found is from May, is that a good version?

And how about this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1804619

I wanted to know If I could get this on my phone!

Thanks in advance!

and for that rom link u posted, Yes u can install the same after u have rooted ur phone successfully though:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FirebirdStud:
I too have this same problem. I have the following stats:

Android version: 4.0.4

PDA: I9100BULPG

Phone: I9100BULP8

CSC: I9100VODLPB

Kernel version: 3.0.15-1056084 dpi@DELL131 #3 SMP PREEMPT Thu Sep 13 10:45:25 KST 2012

Build number: IMM76D.BULPG

I want the Siyah kernel, but before I can flash that, I need root! Chainfire hasn't made the file that roots this specific firmware yet, so how do I root it?

Many Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Flashing Siyah will also root your phone. Just make sure you use the correct version of Siyah for your model and version of Android.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
You do not need to root your phone to flash Siyah kernel.

When you flash Siyah you will get root. Here's what you do:

#download siyah kernel

#Boot phone to download mode

#Open Odin and connect phone

#put siyah kernel .Tar file in PDA section of Odin.

#click start.

It is extremely difficult to brick your phone flashing a kernel in Odin.

Good luck :)

Thanks! I used the PhilZ method before seeing this, and worked great!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] devil997:
Let me know if you can install on Galaxy nexus, a recovery that does not use the new system of blobs, for nandroid backup, but the older.. For devices that only support MTP, it's unbearable. The transfer to a PC requires HOURS!

HATE MTP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
You have 2 options.

Older version of cwm (5.x.x.x) or twrp
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Like Zepius said, use one of those recoveries OR use ADB to pull the /clockworkmod directory from your device. MTP will definitely choke on it, like you experienced. ADB will copy it without problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] devil997:
ADB/pull has the same problems of time. In addition, both, ADB and the normal mode MTP, do not copy the entire contents of the internal SD, but they stop for no reason at random. I don't know why.

MTP has big problems with multiple small files, such as blobs, the cache of apps like picspeed wallpapers, and the file of titanium backup. Many files and small size...

And all this, happens in download ..... when upload the situation deteriorates drastically ...

ahah sorry, forgot to translate...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
i dont know whats inoltre, but i think i got the most of it.

like we said before, get adb going, dont trust mtp.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FrostyF7:
Lol it is in English.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
What driver are you using for ADB? I use ADB for my weekly backup of my /sdcard. Not ever did it stop while copying, and my /clockworkmod folder holds 2 backups.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unlawful:
I believe that the newer version of CWM (6.0.1.1+) has the option of choosing between tar or the blob method. ADB also has its own version of backup as well.

Hey all,

I know a lot of members here at xda are affected by the camera quick launch feature. Some are not even aware of it. However, it did come to my attention that for the ones that stated their quick launch is working every single time, it is likely because their devices are not sleeping properly.

If you are one of the members that has a perfectly working quickly launch, please check your battery usage and see if your device is sleeping properly. Also, please make sure you run a few tests to ensure that your quick launch is working following these instructions.

1) Power on your screen with the top left power button, press again to power off and let screen idle for about 15-20 secs.

2) Activate the quick launch from black screen with the dedicated camera button. Repeat for 5-10 times and report your success rates.

Most people will notice that after the first few tries, it can take up to 2-4 times to activate quick launch feature.

I hope all of the xperia S members take part in this and convince Sony that they have to focus on this issue. It has been left unfixed for far too long. please follow this link and voice your issue there.

http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/53257?tstart=30

We need a fix or a straight forward answer.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] warface:
Mine worked first time, but then the next NINE attempts all failed :mad:

I'm running .50 unofficially though, as the .45 update hasn't even made it to the UK yet, so Sony would probably say in my case its because I have hacked firmware :banghead:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Lusterboi:
No, Sony just need to understand that A LOT of people are affected by this issue. Most members dont even know they have this issue until they tried, thus Sony is sort of down playing this issue thinking that only a small fraction of people are suffering from this bug. But the truth of the matter is that a lot of people are suffering from it. As long as you flashed the .50 firmware and the bug is there, it will be there for you even if you get the official update from PCC, it makes no differences.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Lusterboi:
you're an idiot. quick launch was one of the main selling points of the NXT series and you're saying that it's not a big issue that it's not working properly?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Dpk1:
An issue is an issue whether big or small! Buggy camera Quick Launch is the biggest issue for me on ICS, because I use this feature a lot (and only to see it fail many times). I understand that such a feature might not be of importance to you, but it is to many like me. So, kindly be considerate to others' issues than being outright dismissive :D!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mad_4u:
not a big deal

i don't use the camera it self for about 3 weeks and i didn't get the phone to use the camera

so it's not affecting my daily use of the phone :cowboy: call me idiot or what ever as you did on your last reply but trust me we using human made product and you have to expect bugs and faults of any kind and solving issue could take time so be polite nothing will change you have to phone keep it or give it away.

For the members stating it worked 100%, did you make sure to let the phone idle on the black screen for at least 15 seconds in between ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] d_ave:
Hm, mine is working but i noticed something else - every time i'm at the office, where the reception is pretty bad, the phone is constantly awaking. when i'm at home, where the reception is really good it's sleeping very well. So, do you think the bad battery life might be something related to poor reception? Also is there a way to disable totally the quick launch, i never use it and if i can get better battery life with disabling quick launch i'll be more than happy to do it.

Just kept trying at random times, screen was always off at least 5mins.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Lusterboi:
when the phone gets a long idle, it will usually work on the first try. however if you try to let it idle anywhere between 15 seconds - a few mins, it will have trouble in between. usually if i leave the phone alone for 2 hours and try, it will always work too. however once i activate the first time and try again in a minute or two, fail rates are extremely high.

and if i sounded angry for calling someone an idiot before, it was because he tried to be an ass and made me look like a bad guy for pointing out a bug in the phone. i'm usually very respectful towards other people.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CerealD:
First time i had this Bug was on GB wenn i've installed vintage and the QL-Button seemingly couldn't find out which app to choose . after setting the camera app to default it worked until ICS... but since my clean-install of .50, the rooting and the removing of all the bloatware its gone and its working every single time for me, no matter how long i wait in between or whatsoever.

maybe another problem for unlocked BLs like the BE b/c mine is locked.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] monivan:
This morning i tried with data off and let the screen off for 20s and 4/8 success rate! Now i tried with data on! Do the same success rate is 100% 9/9! Might me my line, my messenger, whatsapp keep the phone a wake!

What people need to realize, asking the question is fine, answering 50 times ticks them off, most questions are answered in the first three posts and people refuse to read and search, Google your questions add xda to it, you'll find something. Seems like everyone wants to be lazy and ***** about stuff. It's free and your getting stuff that no one has yet. Take it for what it is, be thankful. Almost every question you can think of has been asked a million times already. Follow the threads from the start. You won't have any problems or questions. All these roms are basically the same. That volume problem has been there since day one of jelly bean.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Actually I don't find this as true. Some Devs will even get ticked off if you even ask a question about customizing their work. Trust me. Been there and done that. Anymore even I won't post in the development section. Most Devs are cool with this though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ManelScout4Life:
If a dev took a request from everyone who asked the ROM but crazy. Building a ROM is not difficult, I learned how to build cm10 from guides online. From there you can figure out how to add features you want.

I have no problem answering real questions in any of my threads and if the question is good I put it in the second post with all the other questions. Like dafoxs said, the only time i get annoyed is when people ask the same question on every page even though the answer for it is a couple posts up or in the 2nd post.

I am no a dev so I can't help people add in crazy options that they want, I just build what real devs create. For your vol issues OP, just up and down the vol slider, set the notifications you want and that's it, all will work.

Hello. I have a GSM Evo 3d, 1.53.0007 hboot (unlocked via HTC Dev), after that S-OFF via JBEAR, now I'm on stock hboot locked with S-OFF. After that I can't install 4Ext. When I use fastboot i got info remote: not allowed (I supose that this is because I'm S-ON). Can I flash 4Ext directly in hboot? Does any1 have this recovery as a PG86IMG.ZIP? Or is there any other way to flash it? Cheers
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
JBear will leave the bootloader locked which will prevent most fastboot commands from running if you didn't choose the JuopunutBear bootloader when prompted by controlbear. If you don't have "JuopunutBear" at the top of your bootloader you can download the JBear custom bootloader for your phone and Android version (GB or ICS) from the unlimted.io website and install it using the instructions on that site, then you should be able to run the fastboot commands needed for flashing.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] kgs1992:
There's 2 simple ways to do this, depending on whether you want jb hboot or not.

Regardless of whether you want it or not, download the correct hboot for your device from here: http://unlimited.io/downloads/hboots/

If you want to change your hboot from ***LOCKED*** to =Juopunutbear= :

then rename your recovery image to "recovery.img" & drag-and-drop the recovery.img file onto jb_hboot.zip to add it to the zip

Then, use the commands given here to flash it: http://unlimited.io/jbhboots.htm

If you want to keep your hboot as ***LOCKED*** :

then rename your recovery image to "recovery.img" & drag-and-drop the recovery.img file onto jb_hboot.zip to add it to the zip

Open the jb_hboot.zip file & delete the .nb0 file that might have a long name (something like"hboot_....nb0"

Then, use the commands given here to flash it: http://unlimited.io/jbhboots.htm

Can I downgrade bootloader to 1.49.0007 using this method and will this hboot work well with ICS?
