[LG Optimus Black] theaks30:
first of all, try rebooting into recovery(cwm)

if you can't, download an app called quickboot or titanium backup

from your pc, download the sd card fix from the thread

with that, reboot into recovery

wipe data, cache, dalvik

then re-install the rom

afterwards install the sdcard fix ;)

it will fix my menu key,home key problem also right???:confused:

Hi,

I rooted my device using the htcdev unlocker and I tried installing cyanogenmod with clockworkrecovery until I realised that it needed s-off. I restored back to a backup of stock android that I made.

I tried installing AndroidRevolution which I believed would work but it did not so I restored back to the backup but it is staying in a loop. It just displays the HTC logo forever.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1868622 I used this to flash the android revolution boot.img

how can I get my original stock android back? my firmware version is 3.32.161.11

please help, I just want factory settings and everything to be normal again
[HTC Sensation] brownayy:
FIXED!

Ah so happy.

I followed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 that tutorial to change my recovery to 4Ext, set up smartflash and get cyanogenmod9 running.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Wrebbs:
So i got the 8.9 last week and am pretty happy so far. My main uses are internet surfing and hd videos from youtube and play store. However one of my only complaints is that this thing isnt the fastest. I upgraded to official ics when i first got the tab and its not bad but still id like to install Asop jellybean and overclock the tab to 1.2 or 1.4. However id hate to brick my tab which i see on here all the time. The only problem is i have no idea how to root, even after reading and searching for the past week. My question is could some one tell me or show me a link to show EXACTLY how to root to the newest asop jb from official ics without bricking and then tell me how to oc it? I am such a noob with this, I dont know what kernels or anything is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Good thing i didn't go a head and try to root. I have official ics installed and apparently you have to flash so,e cmw rom or something but i have no idea how to do that, i have searched the forums and all the instructions are just kind of bland and not real specific. Sad as it is, i am someone who needs exact instructions and explanations of how to specifically complete each instruction. Sorry that i am being a pain. I just bought thus tab on a amazon credit card and have not even, ade the first payment that is why I am so worried about bricking or messing up the tab. Thanks for any help

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] boscorama:
Hmm. I'd be careful recommending ROMs just yet. He hasn't mentioned which model of 8.9 Tab he has.

Given that he mentions he's already on ICS I'd assume he's probably got a wifi-only P7310. He doesn't mention any other radio types (3G, LTE, etc.).

@Wrebbs, what model 8.9 tab do you have?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Wrebbs:
I have the wifi only, 7310. Thanks for taking the time to help with this
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] GarpNL:
I've tried various roms and liked cm10 very much. Had to flash stock 3.2 via odin to get rid of the garbled screen issue and decided to try update OTA to ics that worked and i'm running stock ics on my dutch 7310 now this works fairly well, so i am going to wait untill the battery drain issue is being fixed on cm10 and try again then :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] johnny_dove:
Not happy with the stock ICS version of the Tab? Did it upgrade over kies? Are you in the US? I am in Europe and have the 3G version. Have to use a ported rom from 7500 to get ICS.

The ICS I have runs really smooth! Price was good aswell. Strange that your TAB is slow...

Only problem I have is that Adobe Flash gives me some trouble in HD and on some sites.

I tried HC 3.2 Stock, CM10 JB 4.1, SafariKing ICS and ported ICS from 7500 v2 and honestly - If I had stock original ICS I think I would stay with it! The Jellybean ROMs still have issues. in Alpha Beta stages.

The Tracid rom mentioned might be the next rom I try, but still happy with the ICS rom I have. If it aint broke don't fix it... (Itchy though, flashing roms is fun.)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jd1639:
Take it from someone whos hard bricked before, take your time and do your homework. Make sure you know the rom is for your specific device. You're not going to see drastic speed increases even if oc'd. So take your time and re-read everything. Your going to have to flash a recovery first, cwm or twrp through odin. Again, make sure it's for your device. Then you can root or flash a rooted rom. Once again, make sure it's for your device.
[General Questions and Answers] Shark87:
I've been searching for a new phone and I'm considering possibly buying a Chinese phone. I know there are certain brands which can be trusted (Huawei, ZTE, Coolpad, Lenovo and a few others). The thing is that I want to know more about the chipsets that these phones use. So here's a few questions.

First, the two chipsets that I'm interested in are the MT6577 and the MSM8225 (S4 Play). How is the everyday user experience with both of these chipsets? I know that in general the MT6577 seems to be the better performer in terms of benchmarks being a Cortex A9 v. the Cotex A5 of the MSM8225. While I would like to do some gaming, I'm not really a hardcore gamer. But what's most important to me is the smoothness of everyday use. I'd like UI performance to be as fluid as possible and for apps to work well (again, not looking for anything out of this world, but steady). Also if anyone has had experience with more widely available chipsets from OMAP, Nvidia, or Snapdragon (especially the MSM8255, which I've had experience with) where would you place the performance of these two chipsets compared to those chipsets?

Second, is battery life performance. I know that the chipsets themselves aren't the only factor in battery life performance, but I'd like to know which one of the two is most efficient in general.

Also a couple of general questions.

I'm considering possibly getting a dual sim phone (well most of these phones seem to be dual sim). I was wondering if these phones have different [manufacturer specific] methods of managing the sims or if they are managed Android itself. I'm considering using the phone I get on a US pre-paid carrier (At&t/At&t MNVO) and what I'm thinking of doing is using the GSM slot for pay-as-you go minutes and text and the WCDMA slot for a daily use plan.

Also how's the call quality of these phones? The reviews on some of these phones that I've found seem to omit this. While I don't talk a ton, I would like to have a phone that sounds good and is easy to understand. I've taken calls at the place I work from cell phones that sound absolutely terrible lol. I don't want a phone that sounds bad.

There are a few other specs that I'm looking for in a phone (if you guys have any recommendations):

3.5 to 4.3 inch screen (maybe 4.5)

4GB ROM (I've heard that these phones also come with some manufacturer software that takes up a lot of storage in addition to Android itself)

5-8MP camera (not incredibly important. I know that MP aren't the only spec that makes for a good camera)

Price range is anywhere between $100-250. I might be interested in getting a Xiaomi phone as well, although I know that they are very hard to find and can be significantly out of my price range.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tymanley:
I was trying to install the latest SlimBean rom and there was an error and when I attempted to restore, the phone shut off and went black and is showing zero signs of life. I've tried everything I've seen. No download mode, nothing when the battery is pulled or the SIM card. WTF>
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RLM703:
Have you tried plugging into a power source?

Try this and see if it works:

1. Plug USB cable into computer (dont connect phone yet)

2. Press and hold power + volume down

3. Insert other end of USB cable into phone and quickly press and hold home button while still holding power and vol. down (ODIN Mode buttons)

I had no power to my phone on its own but when i tried this I was able to boot into ODIN mode. Same with recovery however I could not get recovery to work on PC power, it needed the wall charger.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tymanley:
I appreciate it, however that didn't work either. This is awful and I'm an idiot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] noingwhat:
You can try a USB jig. You can get em off ebay for a few bucks or you can make one yourself if you're fairly skilled with a soldering iron and have a few resistors lying around. You basically just run a 304k ohm between the two data pins on a USB cable and plug it into the phone. Often times this can force it into download mode. It's not sure fire, but when you're alternative is at least $100, it's worth a shot for <$5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tymanley:
Thanks but it says on the website that it will only work if you're able to get at least something on your screen. If it's always black it won't work.

Are there any companies that I can send this to that can repair it? I'm thinking my next move here is buy a used one and then hopefully repair this and sell it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
When plugged in are you showing a red led light? If so you are recoverable with a jig.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
Who the hell told u that? If you remove the battery you will get a red light. Weather or not its a paperweight. The jigs are worthless here. If the finger combo wont work, then you can wipe ur ass with a jig. They are worthless.

On a side note. Mobiletechvideos is where its at. Can't be beat

TTpod's shake control works, also this, but I find it annoying because you have to have the medium shake setting for it to not trigger in pocket while walking. And you hve to take it out and shake heavily to change track. I rather use the long pressing volume up button.

Get back to a TW ROM and open up the dialer and type

##72786#

Your phone will reboot, wait until it boots back up. It'll go through a small set up and you'll be prompted to reboot again. After the 2nd reboot you'll be on LTE/CDMA Mode. If you wanna change it open mobile network settings and change it to CDMA only

Hope this helps

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babblerx:
I have all of my contacts stored in gmail contacts online.

In the course of trying to tidy up contacts on my phone, deleting duplicate/unnecessary info and 'joining' multiple accounts (mostly gmail, facebook and whatsapp) I had a bit of a Homer Simpson moment managed to delete all of my contacts (D'Oh!!).

Fortunately, as I said above I have them in gmail contacts online and had also exported them to my SD card as a vcard and so have managed to get them back (albeit having to tidy them up again).

Here's the thing though, when I go to the Contacts menu item 'Contacts to display' the contacts show when All Contacts or Gmail account are selected, but when I select Phone contacts in 'Contacts to display' the list is empty.

How do I move/copy my gmail contacts so that they are held in the actual phone memory and displayed if I opt to display Phone contacts only (i.e. no longer link to my gmail contacts)?

Cheers in advance,

Rich
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hollow1:
I think what you need to is to sync your contact again. Contact to display is only show if your phone have a contact that is available in your gmail contact only.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babblerx:
copy contacts to phone only

I think you've misunderstood my original question. I have got the contacts visible when I view all contacts or view gmail contacts, but there is an option in the contacts menu to view contacts on phone only (i.e. not those stored in gmail contacts). When I use that option I don't see any of my contacts. Therefore, what I need to be able to do is copy the contacts across from gmail contacts so they are visible in the phone contacts only view, but I can't figure out how to copy them across to the phone.

Never had to do it on either my s2 or s3 before. I did do it on my old HTC via a menu option along the lines of 'Copy contacts to phone' but there isn't a menu option like that on the s3 unless I'm missing something obvious.

Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers.

Paid 57 and shipping... build is pretty good. enjoy the pics. In comparison to the MoKo(TM) Slim-Fit Folio Cover Case the inner micro suede and external faux textured leather is much better (than the Moko).

One thing I don't like is how the bottom of the tablet can not snap to the backing. This leaves is a little loose when using it like a book with pages folded back.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tomascus:
The screen on to awake ratios should roughly be similar but it looks different in this case, install BetterBatteryStats to check out wakelocks.

Also, your mobile signal appears to be very weak and dropping out.

PS. Wiping battery stats does nothing
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sharkonland:
Wow, you should be getting easily double that if not triple the usage.

First thing, if you are in a area where wifi is available, you can disable mobile data(3g/4g) completely. if not, then leave wifi turned off and use 3g, i dont use 4g lte unless im downloading something BIG.

Secondly, if you want to, you can close the apps via task switcher every few hrs, but not mandoatory.

Lastly, update your device to the latest version 2.20 or 2.40. I got easily 15-20% increase when i updated from 1.85 to 2.20.

Also you can leave your screen to auto brightness, which helps by itself, i used to change it myself but i realized auto is better since it changes it instantly depending on the situation.

Doing this gets my phone to average 30hrs standby with about 3hrs screen on time. Heck, few times when i used wifi mostly and data turned off majority of the time, i got 5+ hrs screen on time within about 24hrs usage.

I installed BBS and i'll run that today since it's my first day back at the environment.

That's what I'm saying! For such a great phone I should be able to use it more at least :mad: I'll look into disabling 4g. LTE just got turned on in my area and i'm soaking in the super fast speeds :D Probably not worth the sacrifice in battery if that's the case though.

I don't have facebook installed but Google Maps could be sucking a lot of battery life since I keep GPS on.
[Galaxy S III General] ChilliBo:
Android 4.2 could be just weeks away folks, and rumors are already

starting to circle on what the Mountain View company is cooking.

But careful, this rumors come from a very trustworthy source,

so if you want to wait for Google’s keynote to see Android 4.2′s features,

we suggest you click away. But who can’t help to learn what

Google has come up with this time right?

Customization Center

OEM skins have been solved once and for all. With this feature,

OEM’s can build their skins in the Customization Center and publish them on the device,

leaving stock Android intact. The themes could have different ringtones, backgrounds, launch themes and others of the sort.

Project Roadrunner

Your battery life is about to triple. Google has been rumored to focus a lot on

battery life in this release of Android. Remember how Project Butter increased

the speed of your device and how drastic the change was? Well get ready,

because battery life is about to get an upgrade..without switching batteries of course.

Google Play

Google Play is up next, and the rumor is more features are going to be

added to the ever growing app store. New features include promotional campaign

notifications, easier in-app transactions, more billing options and more.

Google Now

If you want information then and now, Google Now will become your best friend.

But Google Now is about to get even more helpful, with the rumored features of

being able to control the brightness, turn on and off system functions and more.

Video Player

The video player for Android is pretty basic, so the rumor is that Google decided

to update to add more API’s for developers and give it a UI makeover.

Conclusion

There we have it folks, Android 4.2 laid out. Taylor from AndroidandMe’s source

has always been right on the money with other information so we would be

shocked if any of this information is wrong above.

So, who’s cooking the Key Lime Pie tonight?
