[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sikander3786:
Forget about upgrading to 4.0.4 for now. Just download a

stock firmware

for you phone no matter Gingerbread or ICS. Search this forum, you'll find many links. Connect your phone to Odin and try flashing the downloaded stock firmware. Once you get it up and running, you can try upgrading it.

In this situation, it wouldn't be wise to go for a custom firmware. Your best chance of bringing your phone back to life lies in successfully flashing a stock firmware.

No problem if the screen isn't showing anything. I remember Vibrant behaving like this. Just flash the firmware once Odin detects your phone. If the flashing fails, disconnect, take out the battery and start over.

Good Luck!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacksonphoneboy:
Hi Guys, thanks for the updates. I'll try to suss out what the correct stock option is and try my luck. and yeah, for clarification purposes - the phone doesn't respond to anything bar an Odin connection as far as I can see. Cheers again :))
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zergslayer69:
This may have been answered before but I haven't stumbled across any discussion of this as of late. To put it simply, how does quad core affect phone speeds? Sure it makes for great benchmark scores, but does it function similarly to pc CPUs in the sense that if the app doesn't support more than 1 core then you're not fully utilizing the entire CPU? If that's so wouldn't a quad core just be draining battery life on a phone? Or do phone apps not have core limitations and that each core will always be used no matter if you're flipping through pages of apps or running a game?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhejek:
Just like a PC working. Some appsmaube just running in single core but some apps use it. Multi core help system let say it android system working more fast. Because system use all cpu
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zergslayer69:
So aside from flipping through the android os screens and making calls or writing notes, Internet browsing, video watching, and games are all limited by how they're coded to use the cores? Are the unused cores at least inactive to prevent battery drain?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
Yes.
[Nook Touch General] Tialis:
Hello everyone.

I rooted my NST long ago, and used it to read manga with android applications. Now I am using it for reading epubs more, and from time to time (specially when I reset my nook, close the app, etc..) I loose the page and the bookmarks from the epubs.

I don't know if this was an old problem, or simply that I cannot use the Nook default reader after root, but I cannot find the answer in the forum.

So obviously, my question is: Do I need to configure something or install any patch to make default nook reader work? Or it should be working fine? Which could be the best option to make it work?

Thank you for your time!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ratata82:
Hi all

I have just recived this handset of a buddy of mine... It is really really weird...

Okay what he did to f*** it up:

Repartition

Wrong PIT file

I have fixed it with my SPT box... But now I have some other really weird problems

1. When I use the power button to get the restart menu etc, it just turns off

2. If the SIM card has a PIN on it, it will not ask for it, either get network, if I disasble the SIM card PIN it works great...

3. It can not enter recovery mode (Vol up, Home, On/off)

Any ideas to these problems??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da.trute:
sounds like it hasn't flashed cleanly, take it right back to stock recovery and stock ROM using ODIN, check all is ok before re-rooting and flashing a cooked ROM again.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ratata82:
Well I have flashed it with:

SPT box

Asansam

Z3X

Odin

With full stock roms PDA/CSC/PHONE

My next guess would be RIFF box with JTAG, but hopefully I can return it to stock as must as possible to get it under warranty again
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da.trute:
did you flash stock recovery though, had problems in the past where a clean recovery flash has resolved. Then flash full stock ROM on top of that. Clean data / dalvik at all stages too.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ratata82:
And that did not help either... This is just driving me insane
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da.trute:
From what I understand the dalvik error is nothing to worry about, however if none of that worked you are going to have to reinstall your ROM totally from sratch, sounds like something has been corrupted. Do you know how to use ODIN etc?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ratata82:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ratata82:
I'm just bumping this thread up with a solution to the problem, as I just received yet another one today with the same issue

1. Root the device

2. Install root explorer

3. Navigate to /efs/FactoryApp/

4. Press the left menu key and select new file, and name it keystr

5. Long press the keystr and edit it

6. Type ON

7. Save and exit

8. Long press keystr again and choose permissions (under "Read" mark: owner, group, others. Under "Write" mark: owner. Under "Execute" mark: owner)

9. Long press keystr again and choose "change owner" and select "1000 -system" on both tabs

10. Reboot and enjoy

This will solve all problems for sure

[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
Been trying to find another thread with this issue, but others seem to have a problem where the airplane mode turns itself on while the phone is already on - not the same problem I have.

So right now, I'm using my HTC DZ while prepping my O2X for a potential sale unless the SU660 sources drop in time.

For about 3 weeks my O2X was powered off and kept away.

I decided to turn it on for some testing and put my SIM card inside. When I booted up the phone, the airplane mode was stuck on. I tried to toggle it off, and it didn't go off after 5 seconds, so I tried rebooting. No dice.

Then I tried booting up the O2X without a SIM inside - the airplane mode showed as being off. So I put back the SIM, and booted it up - airplane mode turned itself on again!

Finally, I was able to turn off the airplane mode by going to the Settings-> Wireless and Networks screen, and staring at the screen for about 90 seconds while the "Turning off..." message took its own sweet time. If I left this screen, or put the phone back to sleep, while the airplane mode was trying to turn off, then it would never turn off. It also would not turn off if I tried to use a widget, or if I tried using the toggle from the menu that appears from holding down the power button.

Now, what's scary is that this is not an isolated case.

After restoring network functionality, I decided try manually turning on the airplane mode. It turned on instantly. When I tried to turn it off, the airplane mode again took roughly 90 seconds to turn off - and I had to leave it in the settings screen to do so.

Later on, I powered off the O2X, left it for about 3 hours, and then powered it on with the SIM inside. Again, the airplane mode turned itself on - and took forever to turn off.

In all test cases, the battery was at least 70% full. This can't be proper behavior, since my considerably less powerful DZ is able to turn off airplane mode in less than 5 seconds.

Anyone else have such a problem? I am using CM7.2 stable with the Etana kernel if that helps. I also used GetRIL and APN Manager when I first got the phone to ensure baseband and RIL matched.

[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
Hmm, I tried this after leaving the phone off for about 1 hour and it managed to boot without turning on airplane mode. Seems to work for now.

Thanks for the heads-up. Hope I wasn't just lucky. I'll be testing it again overnight to be sure :)

When I'm in a call and I hear the familiar beeping in my ear indicating that I have another call waiting, the person I am speaking to can also hear it the beeping.

Why is this? Surely this isn't normal? I've never had this with any other phone including my SGS2.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jiroveci:
Had the same question

Tried Noxious Ninja's method from here, but no longer working for me after the VRALHE update. Looking at the original thread, it looks like someone did get it to work, though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Whether it still works or not I don't know. If it doesn't will have to wait for new exploit. This is why if you want to root and unlock you should NEVER take an OTA. You will eventually catch one that leaves you stuck on stock indefinitely until another exploit is found. EVO 4G LTE has already been locked back down with an OTA. All the releases are available as rooted rom and when firmware update is available the devs will modify it to make safe to flash. If you find yourself locked down only option I know of is to send it to Josh and spend the $60 to have it JTAGed back to older firmware.

Just so Im 100% sure before I do something I'll regret, if I accept the OTA update that was released a couple of weeks ago (?) I will still be able to root and unlock my phone later correct?

Ive been deferring the update for a while now and while I dont mind continuing to do that, I wouldnt mind not doing that as well.

I havent rooted or unlocked my phone yet so Im still running the same software that the phone came with way back in July.

Also, does this update alter the way Google searches? I vaguely remember Google losing a lawsuit regarding the way the search bar searches everything on the phone + the internet, but it may be much too soon for that to have any effect on current software.

As repeated a million times in XDA... DO A CLEAN FLASH!!! Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache and flash again.

If you want a black background you can open up your favourite picture editing software (Microsoft Paint for example) and create a beautiful 1x1 px black image and set it as background :) Or search in Play Store for an app that does basically that but needs lots of permissions.

[HTC One X] Orong89:
Hi guys,

2 weeks ago problems were started to appear with my HOX screen.

One little burn black pixel in the top right screen.

And a orange color sign in the button left corner of the screen. (gets worse as my device getting hotter)

I called HTC customer service in UK,

They told me that since im from Israel there is no official lab of HTC here, so I need to ship my device to Greece.

The thing is that my HOX is hacked and RELOCKED, i changed roms etc...and I told it to the guy in the customer service.

just to check if it still fine (after all thats a hardware problem and not software)

He told me its cancel the warranty and they cant fix the screen for me... only if ill add something like 400-600 euro for they to change the proccesor.

Its really sucks!

I paid so much for a high-end device and I need to have this issue's?!

why samsung s3 dosent need to face those kinds of problems? (not to mention that samsung have a offical lab in Israel and they dont need to send it to Greece!)

Anyway another israeli friend told me that he also was in the same situation like I, and he send hes device without telling hes device was jail break. They fix it!

Apparently its not HTC themself in greece, he got latter with the device after they fix and everything was written there in greek and a name of a company was something diffrent.

nothing about HTC.

So i guess they just fixing without really cheak if the phone was hacked. Maybe they dont care.

its just another company that works with HTC.

The thing is I already told the guy in the customer service that the phone is hacked and I gave him my IMEI nummber.

It means that there is no way back? they know not that my specific phone is hacked in their computers?

Or can I call again as ''another customer'' tell them my problems is the screen without mention the jailbreak, and send my phone anyway to Greece.

What do you guys think?

I am already with stock rom and the phone is RELOCKED.
