I don't think it is problem with my router settings..because it is working on other android devices (Nexus S and Galaxy Y) in my home.

[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
I had this issue and as Jboxer mentioned it was indeed the advanced wifi sleep settings however in your case since all options are now tried out and you say the wifi sleep settings are also in place, best bet as Athani suggested would be to do a factory reset.
[HTC Desire S] themetcast:
I'm sure you've had thousands of threads about this and I've probably looked through 90% of them, I've also looked through the Desire troubleshooting to no avail. I believe I have a specific issue. I have a HTC Desire S which, whenever I turn it on, gets stuck on the '3' logo (it's a Three branded phone I believe). I can go into HBoot where I have the options of fastboot, recovery, factory reset, simlock and image crc. Both recovery and factory reset give me the '3' logo screen. Also, I have no idea why it has this boot problem, my brother bought this phone from someone and I'm trying to fix it for him.

Attempted Solutions:

1. I've tried RUU. This goes past the 'Updating Signature' upto 18% where it is "checking MID/CID" which makes the phone boot up (?) and I get the same '3' logo screen for ages.

2. I've tried S-OFF and flashing boot.img, recovery.img, system.img but I get the same screen when I reboot.

3.I noticed hboot looking for a PG88DIAG.ZIP? So I downloaded this, extracted it and put it on a SD card. It boots up into some diagnosis thing where I can run a few tests and write something (mentions something about IMEI). Obviously have no idea what this is for so I'm not messing about with it. It probably is of no use to me.

Basically it seems whatever I do I still get stuck on the boot screen.

Do you guys have any ideas or is it a hardware fault?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Install abd and fasboot (follow the guide in my signature)

Reboot it to bootloader screen (whre you see RECOVERY/IMAGE CRC, etc options). There should be written "FASTBOOT USB" on the screen when you connect it to PC. If not select the fastboot option from the menu

Type in cmd on the PC while connected in fastboot mode:

fastboot getvar version-main

Download a RUU that hav the same number like your version in its name (example 2.10.401.8 is for Europe) and run it, while connected in fastboot usb mode
[HTC Desire S] chninkel:
edit: sorry, was wrong

What does your bootloader show exactly ?
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
There are too many things you're doing wrong, while thinking that your issue is "special" - instead of reading more thoroughly and understanding that you're doing just about everything wrong.

1) You're trying to install a wrong RUU. RUU should either match your CID or you should use goldcard - and in any case RUU version number should be same or bigger than your current main version.

2) You're unlocking the phone, since you can't achieve S-OFF without functional ADB. If you're unlocked - your bootloader should read "UNLOCKED" and remain S-ON. In any case fastboot flash system.img will likely fail.

3) You didn't attempt a basic thing - factory reset (can be done using bootloader menu).

But I can already tell that things don't look good for you - if you've successfully unlocked through HTCDev and flashed recovery, the flash went well but you still see the phone stuck on logo when trying to boot into recovery - it means that your eMMC has probably failed, which means your phone is dead.
[HTC Desire S] themetcast:
version-main: 2.13.771.4

I've tried RRUs that are above that and below. I've tried H3G, Europe, WWE? Any ideas?

Thank you.

First of all, thank you for taking your time out to reply. Really appreciate it.

1) I'm using a gold card, I'm not sure if I successfully managed to create one? How do I tell once I've plugged it in? Another option for me was to order a 2GB Kingston card just to be sure I have a fully functioning gold card as this unbranded microsd card might not be compatible?

2) Oh yes, you're right! Would S-OFF help me? (even though it's not possible right now).

3) If you read OP I said that the factory reset takes me to the '3' screen.

I believe the phone is pretty much dead so it could be that.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
The only availabe that will work for you is RUU_Saga_H3G_UK_1.31.771.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_3 8.03.02.14_M_release

But it needs a change of the main version which is possible only via adb that you do not have.

Actually the ICS RUU should debrand your device but if it failes than JackR1 is most probably right and your chip is gone
[HTC Desire S] Jack_R1:
1) If RUU fails CID check - it means goldcard doesn't work. That's pretty much the only check I know. You can try a separate card, or you can try to format your card in PC and make a goldcard again - there are several methods and several tools for the job.

2) It would help you - because it would allow you to flash unsigned PG88IMG.ZIP that you could create with whatever you want as main_version. But you can't achieve it without a functional ADB, which you're not getting to, and even with HTCDev unlock you should still be able to boot into the recovery you're flashing. If it doesn't happen - it means something is bad, and it's most likely the HW.

The suggested method would be to create a good goldcard and run ICS RUU. If it fails - the diagnosis is clear, if it succeeds - you'll either boot or know that the boot fails because of HW failure - but not eMMC, something else.
[LG Optimus 2x] LilProphet:
Hey all, last week I flashed an SU660 baseband on my P990 because of ghost call problems (didn't receive any calls although the callers heard ringing), now my problem is, every message I got since that, resends 10-20 times a day. So the message I received on Oct 4th, got resent 100 more times on my phone and it always shows that I have unread messages. Why is this? Another baseband bug?
[LG Optimus 2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Did you try restoring back to stock with a kdz?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JediNinjafication:
Ok, I'm donating my ns4g to the cause but i want to pull all my info before i wipe and drop in the mail. I have gotten quite a bit of data from it so far but can't seem to find some files i know are there. I would just do a backup but since screen broke i can't confirm to proceed.

Mounting shows nothing in my computer..it asks for me to insert disk. Anyway, pulling with abd works perfectly. What i would like is for someone to maybe post me a list of the folders on sdcard..excluding your personal downloads. I just need a list and not actual folders. I don't need subfolders. I don't need the root system folders. Just the ones that are on the sd. Like mainly the path to dcim/100andro, any folders that would be made to store screenshots or images downloaded from web browser and/apps. And the names of the hidden ones. Can't remember if only one of those.

To my understanding this will be helping to keep one of the ns4g roms alive as is going to talented dev with working screen! Thanks! Like said, just need a list of basic sdcard folders Android uses.

3. My firmware version is 1.5

Please help.. anyone with official RUU 2.1 of africa here?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kemoba:
If you want to install custom ROMs, http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Hero_(GSM):_Full_Update_Guide follow this guide to root and install a custom recovery on your phone, after you do this i suggest you to use jordfazs CWM 5 recovery and flash that and then you can flash anything you want :)

my question is, y just rooted my s3 with the sunny room (0.51v) and if tomorrow samsung realease an original update what should i do if i want to upgrade my samsung to jelly bean

thank you very much
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] life_hacker:
I think you should wait till tomorrow ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arsaw:
Samsung updates will fail on custom rom. You need to flash to original firmware to get the updates.

Or just flash JB samsung firmware with odin when it's available at sammobile.
[Galaxy Note II General] dawolverune:
I figured it out.

go to settings>display>auto adjust screen tone - turn it off (it is the last option on the page).

Now my note 2 is brighter then my note 1 but now i lose the benefit of power saving.

:D
[Galaxy Note II General] sumeshd:
Screen tone has nothing the do with power saving it just edits saturation & gama..
[Galaxy Note II General] dawolverune:
i m guessing you don't the note 2, read attachment and weep!
[Galaxy Note II General] daraj:
I didn't think there was a brightness issue. :confused:
[Galaxy Note II General] markysd:
Anyone think this will get screen burn in?

I have a Gs3 for 3 or so months now my first amoled screen and I hear that GS2 had screen burn after 11+ months..

Will the note 2 suffer from this due to true RGB screen unlike note 1/GS3 with pentile screens... Note 2 has a new type of screen development not sure if they mean by true RGB or a new technology of amoled HD screen..
[Galaxy Note II General] loveshinesthru:
I dont know but my husbands gs3 got screen burn in from playing solitaire for hours on end.
[Galaxy Note II General] niketkumar:
Strange !!!!
[Galaxy Note II General] TML1504:
ANY amoled display will suffer from burn-in!

degradation happens over time (oxidation) as well as through usage!

as technology improves this is less worse than it was years before, but

the burn-in problem is still existing!
[Galaxy Note II General] niketkumar:
What is the normal span for burning amoled of note 2
[Galaxy Note II General] Hell Guardian:
But the Note II pixels ON PAPER should have longer life span as the Blue sub-pixels degrades first and by making them twice as big in the note II it should now survive for longer period :)
[Galaxy Note II General] kevinchen1102:
i dont find any issue about it so far.will keep an eye on it.
[Galaxy Note II General] edwinpang:

[Galaxy Note II General] jingleberry:
Any idea of how much longer? Is this an issue with AMOLED screens in general?
[Galaxy Note II General] heatfire:

Almost 5.5 years at 7 hours a day. That should do it.
[Galaxy Note II General] naimmkassim:
If that true, then im glad to hear it. At least for 1 year is already enough for me. Most probably, i wil change to note 3 which estimate next year..lol..:p:p

how can i restore my call log i flash xenon xd rom and forgot to take backup of my call log it has some unsaved no and very useful no i want to retrive my call log back is there any way
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vidaljs:
If u didn't backup before u flashed, then u may be out of luck.

All I can suggest either go on line to look at ur up to date calls on ur provider's website

And/or

Start using Google voice so no matter ROM u flash, the call log will be there as well as ur SMS and voicemails

And/or

Download one of the many apps that will just backup and restore ur call logs.

Good luck

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] qhinton:
I am thinking of returning my iPad 3 for the Note. Is it worth the 500?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] emahmood87:
why not just keep both like i do...Note is excellent i just hope it gets updated regularly...am a bit disappointed on the build quality though.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] qhinton:
That's what is disturbing me too. Cant afford to keep both. I have been having issue with getting my excel sheets on to iPad with USB cable. Plus my movies and playing them. The iPad is very complicated when it comes to file transfers and playing media not in iTunes. I don't find the apps anymore intuitive then android; they are basically becoming the same ESPN taptu pulse Google + ect. I also miss the SD card slot I think I have made up my mind.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] skeeterpro:
Sounds like you are experiencing the problems with the closed garden of iOS which is why I have little use for Apple products. The flexibility of android more then makes up for its issues. After all, all operating systems have, IMO, things about them that can be problematic.

As far as build issues, I find the Note solid enough for my needs. Like all tabs on need to take care using them (good case, screen protector, etc). The display quality is the only aspect of the iPad3 that "wins" over the Note IMO. But the Note's display is fine for my needs.

HTH
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] HasC:
You are asking in the Note forum so you will probably hear YES, I'd agree with them. It depends on what features you love about the note and how often you would use them, ask yourself, can the Ipdad do this?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jpayne97:
I bought an ipad for my daughter and it is great for my daughter. I can lock it down even more and she can only play the games i put on there and the movies i put on there. For her the locked down can't do anything else is an awesome...err...feature? I do hate having to convert movies to a specific format to play on her ipad. But my wife has an iphone and it is painful to send her anything besides a picture. And we always have to close stuff to make things work on the ipad. And sometimes it says its disc is full when there are several gigs free. Requires a reset and reload of everything to fix. It seems sturdy, but I have it in a gorilla case. How important is metal body? You should be careful enough to not drop something that expensive anyways. I've never dropped a tablet or laptop. Just my phone.

I had a transformer prime, loved the keyboard, but it was laggy all the time and never held wifi. So i returned to BB and got the 16, then 32 gig Note. Don't waste time with the 16 btw. But I can edit documents on it no problem. I can put 720p mkv files on it and it just plays them. Same for any divx/xvid movie. And sure the resolution is less than the ipad 3, daughter has ipad1. I don't feel the need to watch 1080p movies on it. If I want that high of quality then I'll watch on my tv. The note just flies. It is so quick and responsive. And I love the screen, think its perfect resolution. It is crystal clear for me with no light leaks. Same res as my work laptop. Speakers on the front, why doesn't every one do this? The ipad sucks for watching anything I think. Can't hear that well unless you turn it all the way up. Still isn't that loud. The note speakers play stereo, into your ears, like its meant to be. And there is no bluetooth audio lag when using wireless headphones. The sd card slot is a must. With the cheap price of 32gig ones you can pretty much carry a small movie library in HD. I don't use the pen that much, but it works well for web browsing and draw something. The small links in chrome are easy to touch with it without zooming. The chrome browser is a must. With heavy use I can get just over 10 hours of screen on time without turning performance mode off.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] joshw0000:
I've had a LOT of tablets (old Galaxy 3g, Xoom, Iconia A500, 8.9" Xyboard 4G, iPad 2, iPad 3 4G, Nexus 7, Transformer Prime, and Note 10.1). From my experience, I've narrowed down what I'm looking for in a tablet. I want something that's thin, has good battery, fast processor, expandable memory, kinda like a somewhat smaller tablet but not required, and not locked down. I love hacking my devices but don't want to have to hack it to hell and search through garbled folders and/or install paid apps (Good Reader) just to be able to put my music and videos on it and play it as a native app (music wont die when you leave a screen). Apple is too proprietary. People like it's simplicity but it is really a manufacturer aimed at old people and dumb people (sorry if I offended anyone).

I really like Motorola devices. Well built, usually decent battery, and always good signal. But they're locked down (at least current devices - hope they stay true to promises).

Asus is a good manufacturer who willingly unlocks your devices at the expense of your warranty. They keep records so no getting around it. Not the best battery, but quad core and expandable memory. Easily my 2nd choice!

And finally we have Samsung. Both my S3 and Note 10.1 have exceptional battery (considering they're not expanded and the processor each is packing). Totally unlocked without voiding warranty (just reset the flash counter). Recovery with odin is just as simple as sbf or fastboot with Moto devices with the exception that hacking can occur with odin (+1). I'm really digging Touchwiz. I'm totally sold on the motion functions. Both devices are next in line for official Jelly Bean. No lack of development. Expandable memory, get the 16 gb and pop in a micro sd (+10). No complaints whatsoever from this guy.

I read a little bit about Samsung's new TV's. Essentially a wifi ready, motion sensor packed, giant wall hanging, LED/3D, upgradeable Android device. If it weren't for the price tag I'd have one on my wall right now.

Why else would Apple sue Samsung over stupid stuff? They see a better manufacturer who can and will steal iFans!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Blueback22:
I've had a Zoom, Tab 10.1, Transformer Infinity, iPad3, and now the Note 10.1. The note beats everything hands down. (I also have 2 Nexus 7s, but that's a different category) . For everything you want to do, Android is your poison. The Note is the best tablet on the market right now. IPad is nice, but I hate being locked down in iOS. Here is what I like and don't like about the GNote 10.1

Like:

Killer hardware

Front speakers

Expandable SD memory

Big following so lots of support

Build quality is very good

S pen + Bluetooth keyboard and mouse support

Dislike:

Plastic back. (Put a case on it and you don't have to worry about scratches

Non HD screen (it's a negligible difference)

Touchwiz (custom ROMs like CM10 remove this annoyance)

Hulu doesn't support it yet (hacked APK can be installed)

As you can see, all the dislikes are minor and easily handled. It's a great tablet and satisfies me (I'm NEVER satisfied).

Btw: iPads are great for kids as they are easy... but Android offers better parental controls both natively and with apps.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] hairdewx:
Funny because I really like TouchWiz - it's what actually got me to buy the Note 10.1 :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] joshw0000:
+1. If CM/AOKP/AOSP/other could somehow incorporate the motion functions of TW, I'd be less resilient of giving it up.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] madsquabbles:
i haven't used my ipad in a month since getting the note. i doubt i'll ever use it again and handing it over to my daughter.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] idelgado782:
I purchased mines from at best buy one day cause there was a Samsung rep showing off all its features. I'll admit my purchase was completely impulsive and I had no intentions on spending $500 for a tablet since I already had an iPad at home. However I decided to make the purchase figuring if I didn't like it I had 60 days to return it (I'm a premier rewards zone member and they give you 60 days for returns). However once I got it at home and started messing around with it I haven't even thought about my iPad. I actually told my gf she can have it because I love the gnote so much. I use it for everything from taking notes for my courses to playing games to watching YouTube vids. I've had an ipad since the first one launched and I thought it was a great device. However I love my widgets and customization that the gnote gives me. I'll never go back to the iPad now.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] qhinton:
Well said gentlemen. Returned the iPad got the Note. Loaded up my movies, dropped that SD card with work files in, and I'm back in business. Yes *****.

The iPad apps are awesome but android is so flexable. Spelled like that on purpose.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] macwilson:
I use the iPad in my car with Siri. It's very useful this way. Siri has flaws but it's pretty good on the road. There are other things that the iPad excels in of course.

I just don't think one is better than the other, but a matter of choice and/or application.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] joshw0000:
Of course, you were already leaning towards the Note anyway or you would have asked this question in a iPad forum. :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
Stick with the Note. I had ipad1 when it first came out(still have it). Then went to transformer prime. Then I have 2 Nexus 7's. Now I have a Note 10.1 and SG3. I never would've thought I'd be impressed by Samsung so much. MY PRIME had a good run but can't compare tl the stability of my Note 10.1 and Nexus 7. I still think the Nexus 7, Note 10.1, and Infinity Pad are the 3 best tabs on the market today.

Even if a person don't use the S pen, note 10.1 is a great choice. Based on power and stability alone.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] qhinton:
I didn't belong to any iPad forums I only had it for 3 days. If was way to difficult to transfer files. If IOS had a file manager without extra programs I would have maybe gave it a shot.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] joshw0000:
I'm joking. Proud Note owner myself. I traded my iPad in for a Prime, then upgraded to a Note.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] red0101:
Same deal, i bought ipad3 for gradschool. This was 1 month before 10.1 release. And i was dealing with iOS `pain´ . then my girlfriend bought 10.1 and man i ´ ticked! I feel cheated! I envied that tablet more than anything else. Good thing my gf dont mind me messing with it when shés not using it.

[General Questions and Answers] yash3339:
I'm looking to buy a phone, and have settled on the 6577 processor. There are tonnes of phones with this processor, but I'm looking for one with good build+1GB RAM (As opposed to 512MB in most).

After quite a lot of research, these two phones seem to be the most popular: JY G3, ThL W3 dual core (ThL W3+) and UMI X1.

Can I have your views on both these phones. Or any other mtk6577 phone, with 1GB RAM and preferably not a clone. Among the three listed above, JY G3 has the biggest (2750mAh) battery, while the ThL W3+ (2000mAh) and UMI X1 (1750mAh) have significantly smaller batteries. It'll be great if someone can speak of the difference these different batteries will make. I hope to get around 12-14 hours of runtime. Been using an LG Optimus One since more than a year and it still does this with its 1500mAh battery. I don't know how much difference the added dual sim functionality and the much higher resolution (1280x720) will make.

Tbh I like the ThL most among the three.

Looking forward to replies. Thanks!
