Thanks for the reply! unfortunately I'm not really sure what you mean about unpacking the kernel files. I'd already placed the 3.1 modules in lib/modules prior to installing the kernel if that's what you were referring to.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vietchinh:
3.1.10-g8c2655b-dirty.tar

Thats folder should be in lib/modules.

Delete the others. (BACKUP!!)

/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf form your android to : /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf/wpa_supplicant.conf

Enjoy.

Thays how i fixed mine :]
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnoz:
Aha, thanks for the clarification! Unfortunately doing this did nothing for my wi-fi, but it did fix needing usb devices to be plugged in on boot.

I have gotten the wifi working though! It's hard to say what steps were actuallly needed, but I searched for nvram.txt and fw_bcm4329.bin, placed them in both /lib/firmware and /lib/firmware/bcm4329, found the bcm4329.ko in /modules/2.{I forget the version number}/ and moved it to the empty 3.1.10-g8c2655b-dirty folder in modules (I strongly suspect this step was pointless). What finally got it working was running modprobe bcm4329 to load the wifi module.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshashwat93:
Hi guys this is the first time i have rooted and flashed a device. I managed rooting my N7 and flashing PA Rom and Motley kernel. Now I want to flash back to stock rom and update to 4.1.2 via OTA or directly flash the official 4.1.2 pure stock. However I still want to maintain root and CWM. Is this possible? Can someone please help me out with details as kind of a noob. I even want to understand how Titanium Backup works. If i backup my apps and then do a factory reset while flashing a new rom how does the backup remain if everything is lost in factory reset. Thanks a lot for helping.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilks3y:
Do it manually like I did, its just as quick as the OTA, you keep all your files and I didn't loose root, was done in 5 mins.

Can I flash this over a custom ROM or does it have to be stock rom?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilks3y:
Good question, That I couldn't tell you mate because I don't use custom ROM's. I shouldn't see why not, give it a go and let us know the results?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bombadier:
The update can only be applied to a completely stock rom, if you have made any changes to the rom(build.prop edits,etc) the zip will fail to flash
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshashwat93:
Thanks a lot. So how do i revert to stock?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilks3y:
You need a stock RUU, but I'm not sure where to find those. Once you have the stock RUU, adb push the update and your all strawberries and cream :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahshah:
The update will fail if build.prop is modifed and most custom roms modify that. So it would be safer to flash stock image and sideload the update.

Or else wait for the custom ROM developer to incorporate those changes.

First and foremost, you attempt this at your own risk and I am not responsible for what happens to your device. This saved me from buying a new phone when I had an unidentifiable and persistent black screen/boot loop

Symptoms you are boot looping due to your power button sticking:

1. Black screen with intermittent vibrating

2. Phone restarts during boot animation

3. Unable to enter recovery before phone restarts

4. Unable to enter download mode before restart

5. USB JIG forces phone into download mode and restart occurs

6. Phone turns on when battery is inserted

This fix will only work if the button is STUCK and not defective. Remove back cover and battery. Remove the 6 screws on the back of the phone and gently pry the housing off.

http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Disassembling+Samsung+Galaxy+s+2+(T-mobile)(T989)+Phone/8179/1

After that, find the power button. Using a small flat head screwdriver gently push the button cover away from the mechanical button and try to press the mechanical button in to see if you can still feel it "click". After that, reassembled and test. Hope it works for you too.

Hey buddy, I want to thank you for your guide.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] XeoNoX:
my buttons were sticking ( power button and volume down ) to on my phone , it got to the point where the power button was no longer working and my phone was out of warranty. I just decided to take phone apart and disassemble it and then i located the power button and used some " CRC QD Electronic Cleaner " and just sprayed it (using the straw that CRC comes with) directly into the power button (when i say "spray" i mean i pushed the spray button for about 1 second). After spraying it i pressed the button like 20 times, then i sprayed some more and while spraying (spray for 1 second) i was pushing the button about another 20-30 times. I repeated the spray and push cycle about 10 times (which means i probably pressed the power button over 300 times ), I waited about 5 mins to make sure it was "dry" and then i put the battery back in and test it and It seemed to have cleaned it out and now my power button worked. Then i put everything back together.

Note: I tried to spray and press it with the phone with the enclosure/case/body on but the button cover blocks the actual button and i was forced to actually disassemble the case, its not to hard just looks intimidating. whole process took me about 45 mins first time.

Note 2: CRC QD Electronic Cleaner can also be found at most local auto parts stores BE SURE TO GET THAT BRAND as it is non-conductive, i repeat GET THAT EXACT BRAND/MODEL Cleaner, cheaper brands might be conductive despite it saying it is safe or does not dry as fast and who knows what might happen, CRC is a known well brand and has a good rep)

I made this account just so I could give my 2 cents here. I was having random reboot problems with my sgs2 and it would vibrate on a black screen after rebooting etc. I took the back casing off by taking out screws and prying off plastic backing and just hit the power button with an air can while pressing the power button and voila, now my phone isnt having the issue anymore. Thought id have to replace the button but it seemed to be working fine so i thought id try the air can first. Thanks everyone for pointing me in the direction of it being the power button, wouldnt have guessed that myself.

Mine was still clicking. Kinda took it upon myself to do this and I also sent mine to Mobile Tech videos. The service he offered was great but a bit confusing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sharpeyedman:
I have two hercules and first one which is about 10 months old started having power button problem(infinite boot loop) in Last November.

At first, I kinda clicked it ^well to let it boot to ics but as soon as I press the power to wake up screen or shut off the screen the phone would restart n go into boot looop.

So I tried not to use the power button at all but it got to a point where it was unusable. So I opened it up and cleaned he inside but it didn't help. So I decided to send it off to mobiltechvideo.

But one day, it just dissapeared completely. I mean I suffered so muh from this yet it is gone and I can't even simulate the bootloop now.

I am thinking its not electrical problem due to chip in the button go bad but rather physical problem.

Perhaps tiny particle or dust getting into ppwer button module causing the boot loop.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Wareazy:
After trying many different things, including opening it up, air can, etc. I sent my phone back to T-Mobile. They made me upgrade from stock GB to ICS first though insisting it was a GB issue.

Hi,

I've been using CM9beta2 on my Wonder for a while.

Now my phone it's starting to get too laggy so I'm trying to free up as much RAM as possible (having around 50MB available doesn't seem enough!).

However, many apps are always running, even though I disabled everything I could in the settings.

For example, google maps keeps regularly eating 5-10MB RAM, sometimes google Play too, etc...

Is there a way to keep apps out of RAM?

How do you do it?

The only solution I find otherwise, is to get the apk, and install apps when you need them, then uninstall them immediately... :(
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sgilmans:
Hi... see the 3rd post of this link , you will have your solution with an app call Auto Killer Memory ------>http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1884479
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] [.::MDT::.]:
Thanks, but... wouldn't Auto Killer Memory use more battery (or RAM) than having the apps running?

I mean, having smth that checks every few minutes running apps and that closes them... then they reopen again, and the Auto Killer closes them again, and so on... doesn't seem the best solution!

Am I wrong?

Tx.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sgilmans:
It really depend , but I try it and actually getting better result .

With CM9 rom there is a way to disable the apps that you don't need , just go to setting menu, chose manage apps, click the apps that you don't use , and click disable . But you have to make sure the apps that you disable WILL NOT effect other apps that in use . :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] keithross39:
Hi...there are two ways to do what you want to do....

The first is as you say to delete and re install the apps as you need them.....

The other way is to NOT delete them, but to FREEZE them. (This is the better option, and the option that I use) there are several apps that will do this, titanium backup (paid app) and Gemini app manager (free) to name two.

I use Gemini and it does EXACTLY what you are asking. You have to be rooted in order to use either of the apps I mentioned....but if you're using a custom rom, I guess you already are. Both apps are available in the Play Store, and there's an online tutorial on how to use Gemini....just Google it.......

Hit thanks if this helped :) :)

CM9....I don't have to...I just......can :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] risa2000:
I have just got my Galaxy Note 2 yesterday and noticed that the rear camera is not protected. There is just camera lens visible (small piece of glass approx 1-1.5mm in diameter). It looks like there is a protection glass missing above the lens, because there is just the chrome bezel and and inside another plastic part which surrounds the lens.

For example here:

In the review posted on phonearena "GN2 x HTC One X" (I cannot post the link), there is nice picture of GN2 rear camera and it looks like there is a layer of glass/plastic above the camera lens. But I am not sure.

So I wonder if someone, simply by looking at this Note 2 backside, can confirm my suspicion.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mg35pt:
Mine has a layer of plastic almost flush with the chrome bezel. It is square(ish), about 8mmx8mm.

(Picture attached)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] risa2000:
mg35pt, thanks for the picture, which makes the covering layer very distinguished. That is what I was afraid of. Mine does not have anything "in the hole", just naked lens. So I guess I am going to return it :(.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dachness:
Are you saying yours doesn't have that chrome looking bezel? Would you mind posting a picture to give others a heads up of what to look for?

If you only have your phone you can try using a mirror.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] risa2000:
It is not that I miss the bezel, which is right there. What I miss is the small window from transparent glass/plastic, which is sunk in the bezel and covers the lens and protects it from dust and contact with outside world. (As was nicely pictured by mg35pt). The missing window is not apparent at the first sight, so I guess they just forgot to put one there and quality control did not notice.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dachness:

So I listed my Note 2 i717 on craiglist and someone offered me 600$ for it. I'm considering selling it and buying an international note 2. However I'd lose my LTE capability and it's not easy to blow 700 on a new toy. Or should I wait for the US note 2 and get it on contract for the rumored 199? That would give me LTE but degrade my battery life. You guys know the differences obviously. If I wait though and try to sell my note I'm not sure I'd be able to get the same kind of money as I can now. What do you guys think I should do?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilebuddha:

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazdamiata210:
Well the thing is the buyer is from over an hour away and as much as I would love to go sell it to him the price of gas and tolls would have to be taken into consideration.

It's kinda your call bro. But I'm pretty sure if you don't have lte in your area it won't drain the battery any faster. You can even turn lte off to make sure it doesn't even try to scan for it. As far as craigslist I'd be careful and meet them somewhere decently public to avoid getting robbed or something it sounds almost like a too good to be true deal even with all your extras. So tell them to meet you some place relatively public then gauge how they respond and act accordingly.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazdamiata210:
It still has the LTE chip in it so of course it's going to use more battery then the international version. I wish I had the option on my phone to disable LTE but it doesn't work. The toggle is there for 2g networks only but it doesn't do anything. I know it sounds too good to be true but the guy just text me again about 20 minutes ago asking if I got it unlocked yet.

what he's saying is: no, having the LTE chip in the phone does -not- automatically mean more battery drain. sorry but i don't know why you are having trouble with that concept..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazdamiata210:
Of course it does. Compare the battery life on the international s3 to the AT&T one. Look at the professional video reviews of the note 2 from big companies. They all mention how once it gets LTE and comes to the states they aren't sure how much of the battery life will be degraded but it will be some amount.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tw33:
Not arguing with your statement, even though I would have something to say about it, comparing the "international s3 to the AT&T one" is apples to oranges when referring to one chip being different when it's a completely different soc.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dachness:
My interpretation of those reviews is that using LTE will decrease battery life. Disabling LTE will bring it right back to what international models are seeing. I think this is what the other forum member was referring to.

Really? I'm on a Verizon s3 with a cm10 rom and it's in settings- more - mobile networks - network mode. Or you can just toggle it off with a 3rd party app. Or you can type in the dial pad to get to the service menu (I forget the number). Or download the app "phone info" from the market.

Yep, more than likely AT&T will not allow you the choice to disable LTE. If you are connected to LTE, your battery life will suffer.

If you don't mind losing LTE speeds then go for it. Also, you never know if the US version is going to have a locked bootloader or what other stupid things US carriers do to their devices. Also, dev support is already great on the N7100. You'll get updates a ton faster. I received my device on Monday and couldn't be happier. All I can say is I'm glad I didn't wait for AT&T release theirs.
