[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jtech011:
Ok , so my phone's is acting up. It turns off on its own then starts to vibrate in a pulsing rhythm. And when I am able to turn it on I try to make phone calls and I can't hear anything and same goes to the other end of the phone call. I read that the random reboots could be caused by a faulty power button but I don't know about the no sound phone calls. I wanted to remap the power button to + volume rocker but couldn't find an app to do it. How would I remap the button? Or better yet is my phone a lost cause? BTW I'm back to stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tickerman:
I don't think it is a faulty Power button. If it was then it would just hard reboot (holding power button for longer than 10 seconds will force reboot it). It sounds like a software issue. You could root and flash a rom and see what happens. Message me if you need any other help :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jtech011:
Ok I rooted and flashed cm9.1 and it was running good for an hour and then bam. It shut down and started vibrating. I tried turning back on and at the phone turned off and started vibrating again.

[Nexus 7 General] Jumbie:
Just thought I'd share a story.

I'm a medical resident and today, during our daily afternoon lecture, the computer connected to the projector wasn't working. The attending physician giving the presentation of course had his powerpoint slides on a flash drive with no way to display them. However, the overhead projector was still going strong so I took out my OTG cable and Nexus 7 and we were able to get through the lecture using that. It worked surprisingly well with the overhead projector displaying the image on the screen.

Not too long ago I was wondering why I even bothered to carry the OTG cable in my coat since I never really use it and almost took it out.
[Nexus 7 General] zzappe:
Here goes a dumb question

If you conected the USB to the OTG to load the presentation, how did you send the presentation (or conected) the Nexus to the projector???
[Nexus 7 General] BiosDude:
I'm guessing they copied the presentation from the drive then connected the projector. Just a guess.
[Nexus 7 General] diomark:
Overhead projector. He blew up the nexus 7 screen using the same kind of projector that's used to blow up handwriting/paper
[Nexus 7 General] primetimelive:
There are some overhead projectors that have this device that will project what is happening realtime. For example if you have a book, you lay it down on the projector device and the image of the book is projected onto the screen (your hands turning the page too)

I'm assuming that this was what was used by the OP because all you would have to do is lay the tablet on the device. I think it's called a visual presenter?
[Nexus 7 General] Jumbie:
Yeah, it's one of these
[Nexus 7 General] Wilks3y:
old school!!!!
[Nexus 7 General] Jumbie:
Heh, it's mostly used to display EKGs.

What IS old school is the dermatologist who likes to use a slide projector for his presentations rather than PowerPoint. Ha ha
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyunsyng:
Hi all,

So I was watching the latest Dexter episode on my phone during my commute to work, and I noticed that in low light scenes, there seemed to be an oversaturation of red. Pretty much Dexter looked like he had a really, really bad sun burn all throughout his body whenever there was a scene with low light. I checked out the video on my laptop, and during the low light scenes, the color of his skin was fine.

Now, I know that these displays are normally calibrated for such oversaturation to make the colors "pop" more, but this was pretty extreme -- his face was more red than pink/white. Is this a problem with just my phone or is it a known problem with displays calibrated for oversaturation? Also, is there a way i can tweak the phone so that it's not like this?

Thanks for you help in advance!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unholygid:
Under display settings. Set screen mode to movie
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyunsyng:
Ahha! That seems to have done the trick. Is there a way for my phone to automatically change it to "movie mode" when I am playing a video file? The auto adjust feature was on, but it never did adjust it when I was playing that movie file.....

Thanks again!
[HTC One V] dankstahz:
Alright, I've searched and searched and searched and followed several different guides to try to flash a custom Jellybean ROM on my One V (CM10 and AOKP), and three times I've ended up having to run my stock RUU. Unlocking my bootloader wasn't an issue, and after a few tries, flashing a custom recovery and rooting wasn't an issue either. From what I understand, for the primoc One V, the only custom recoveries that are useable CWM Recovery 5.8.x and TWRP2 (CWM Recovery 6 doesn't work for the device). I tried both of these recoveries, CWM with CM10, and TWRP2 with AOKP. Also, each time I booted into recovery, I got the HTC display with the red "this build is for development purposes..." text, but recovery loaded normally.

Here is what I did:

1) Placed rom and gapps zips on root of my sdcard.

2) Backed up

3) Whiped cache and dalvik

4) Whiped data

5) Installed rom zip from sd card

6) Installed gapps zip from sd card

7) Booted into fastboot, and ran "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (where boot.img was either jboot.img in the case of CM, or the boot.img included in the AOKP zip in the case of AOKP)

8) Rebooted

Here's where the problems came. Booting back up the phone just displayed the white HTC screen with the red "this build is for development purposes..." text. Nothing else. So, each time I've had to boot back into fastboot and run my RUU...

I know it's possible for me to flash a custom rom, as the roms exist for my device, but it just isn't working for me :(. I could really, really use some advice, this is driving me crazy. Thank you.

EDIT: Figured it out, flashed another version of the kernel. Running AOKP Jellybean!! Sorry for the post.
[HTC One V] riggerman0421:
For aokp, go to the thread and download the boot image linked in the op. For CM10, read the whole thread. The are a few issues with flashing and a file you will need to push to the system with adb to get it boot.
[HTC One V] dankstahz:
Thanks for the reply. I resolved my issue. I just had to flash the correct jelly boot kernel. :)
[HTC One V] Chefslayer:
I had that issue for a day where i was juggling with three to four different "same" rom/kernel/boot images... you just have to get the right three in a row. Im now trying to remove the ugly red developer text. I loved the CM10 but too many bugs and my texting option on my cell went away I couldnt recieve but i could send. the sd card never mounted right. I found MIUI rom which I am absolutely in love with all features work. But I want to know if you have any success or even attempted hboot editing to remove the red developer text?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jparasita:
Ok guys im sure a few of you have seen me posting in alot of the no sim error threads I can confirm that there is a bad batch of phones let me tell you what I did. Took the plunge and purchased a verizon phone full retail cause I kept thinking that the 3 refurbs they have sent me were just bunk phones guess what now I have no problems with my phone at all and im now calling verizon to see what they are gonna do about this wish me luck! So I recommend if verizon wants to send you a new phone it not be a refurb so my guess is a bad batch of phones that are gettting sent out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vdChild:
My guess is that they receiver the phones in an area that isn't affected and send em out thinking they are fine when they aren't.

Sent from my unlocked VZW Galaxy SIII
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
I have never received a refurbished phone. My replacement was a new phone. Still having the same no sim issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
Honestly, to stick it to Verizon, I'd do my best to take one of bad refurbs back and return it as your full retail phone, keeping the retail/good phone... get your money back. Shouldn't be too hard to swap it out, they're not that bright. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jparasita:
I wish I could but the one i just bought is a blue one and that one is white and I did talk to verizon they basically did nothing for me just gave me a free month of service. That is ok cause im just gonna sell this white one I have laying around it works in other areas just fine just not my house. And one thing and when i mentioned to the guy at the corporate store there must have been a bad batch of phones he basically admitted there was and they knew about it.

Just wanna point out phone is working like a charm no problems and I know someone mentioned that they got a new one and did not fix issue this phone came out of box with the g7 update so im guessing its pretty new.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] inco9nito99:
Having the same issue; they replaced the SIM and no luck. I bought my wife one alongside mine and hers is fine. :confused:... Same color even
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdajunkie:
yea but then when they go to match phones serial number to the box they would stick it to you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deliquified:
Did you try flashing the latest modem in the development stickied section? That is supposed to fix the no sim error.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jparasita:
I have tryed flashing the latest HD modem and still did not fix the issue for me. But my new one I bought is working fine still no errors yet knock on wood im telling you I think there was a bad batch of phones and there getting recyceled and sent back out as refurbs.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] android-incredible:
im using mimicri 1.5CM9 rom.and im trying to install miui camera.apk,the download start but not finish the instalation,its show me miui camera not installed.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] EVoorhees:
It sounds like there is a problem with the .apk and the ROM. I am not 100% sure because I have never changed the camera.apk on my phone, but I think that the phone is rejecting it because it does not see it as compatible. Sometimes when I try and flash things, it gives me an error as well.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dreamkiller80:
Instead of installing as a normal apk you can use a file explorer and drop it into system/app and change the permissions
[Motorola Droid 4] blackstar1744:
I recently purchased a used droid 4 on ebay. Unfortunately it has been upgraded to the OTA release of ICS 4.04. Anyone working on lifting the simlock associated with the version of the bootlocker included with ICS (I'm assuming the bootloader is the origin of this simlock but technically I could be wrong)? Or is it a lost cause because it is signed? I know it's written to protected ram so any workaround would be nontrivial but does anyone have any possible exploit ideas? Motorola is unlocking a couple other models that they have out. Would petitioning them to include the droid 4 in their list of unlockable devices be a surefire path to getting the simlock lifted? Or should I consider this a lost cause and return my droid 4 to the ebay ether?

If anyone is considering working on this issue I would be more than glad to contribute. While I'm no Android expert I have a decent understanding of the OS and work in command line Linux for a living so I'd be glad to help. The selection of qwerty phones today is beyond attrocious.

One last thought. Is the idea of spoofing the carrier a possibility?
[Motorola Droid 4] terinfire:
Hi blackstar,

So, I recently got a Droid 4 off of CraigsList that I wanted to use on StraightTalk, but found out that what I had perceived (that 2G/Edge was working on GSM North America) was incorrect.

They're not completely sure WHERE it's broken at the moment as far as SIM lock. Some have suggested it might be baked in the ROM -- but more than likely it is built into the modem.

Here have been some stabs at it -- and what to do in regards to getting the modem setup/altered.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1916869

A thought, though -- since we have SafeStrap and Root, doesn't that let us essentially bypass the bootloader in some ways? My understanding is that the bootloader was required to boot the device to a "correct" image and lock the load to Motorola's firmware, but SafeStrap/root gave us access to actually overwrite the RAM/memory and replace the existing kernel with a new one for the chance at custom ROMs. So, I'm not entirely sure it has to do with the bootloader.

To me, it seems like something that's potentially baked into their ROM or in the modem firmware. If it's in the modem firmware, it's a matter of figuring out what keys/values need to be adjusted and then run it. There have been talks about AT&T getting the Photon Q (Asanti) -- rumors that were back around April of this year... but we have yet to see it there and no news about it showing up anytime soon. Not sure if they scrapped the keyboard and then shipped it as a different device.

I would imagine that if we can have the lowest level debug logging enabled and plug in an American SIM, you might be able to figure out what is breaking. Not sure how low logcat can go...

That's my understanding of the current situation, from a programmer's point of view (though I don't code for Android). Spoofing might be interesting -- but if it's locked at the radio firmware, I don't think spoofing can adjust the frequencies. But more power to you if you can figure it out (and force me to find ANOTHER Droid 4, haha).

Good luck! Definitely talk with the OP of the Topic I sent you, since s/he has a pretty deep interest in this as well.

OH, and one more thought -- there was a thought to grab an AT&T version of the Bionic and Verizon version, wherein they had the same radios, but different firmware, and do a diff on them to figure out if some settings had changed, and then potentially patch that into the D4. That might be a good strategy, but that would require us to get dumps from a few different people -- something you might be able to facilitate if you guys all work together.

One final thought -- is there any way we could have a sticky'd topic for people to post their findings, so we don't have to keep scanning and finding this?
[Motorola Droid 4] blackstar1744:
Much thanks terinfire.

Let me start off by saying I don't have any definitive information with regards to any of the good questions you posed :D but if I find out anything I'll be sure to update the thread.

I spent a good chunk of the weekend trying to educate myself on the situation. From what I understand (anyone feel free to correct me or point me to the appropriate thread if I'm completely reinventing the wheel), it seems like it comes down to two most likely scenarios. Either Verizon added an MCC/MCN lock in the baseband when pushing out the OTA ICS release or they placed a restriction in the radio interface layer (RIL) of the ICS ROM. My research hasn't quite enabled me to determine which scenario is more likely. My unscientific intuition (and wishful thinking) is that the restriction is in the ROM somewhere in the RIL (if that makes any sense, still learning the Android OS architecture).

I will post what I've mentioned above in the the forum you mentioned; hopefully I can garner an audience. I will also look into getting a sticky topic created.

Not too sure how to implement any of my intuitions noted above with regards to this problem but I will try and learn as it goes.

One more note - so it is claimed that the Samsung Galaxy III for Verizon can be unlocked to use domestic GSM carriers. I've found no confirmation. (https://plus.google.com/103583939320326217147/posts/b7JbBKjJVSQ)

Well it's the Samsung Galaxy Premier running TouchWiz.

This thread is for people who still has faith in the "5 Nexus phone" rumor.

Looks like Sony got something going. They seem to be building a Nexus. Could be fake though.

Well we've kinda known this for a while, its just that no one was listening... There was never a single piece of convincing evidence that the i9260 was a Nexus, and it was pretty decently leaked that it was a TouchWiz phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
I've never believed the "5 Nexus" BS.

But this thread is for people (as I stated) that are holding on to this rumor for dear life to ditch the LG Nexus 4 or LG Optimus Nexus.
