[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dario-mnk:
i flash the stock firmware 2 times and the counter increased... If i bring my phone in warranty do you think that it is valid anyway?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] peter_baz:
nope :P
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sina_cena:
help

i need flash 4 file for s6500d Please help me .
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] hayta77:
if you talking about orginal frimwares go sammobile com and find for your phones country release.Flash with Odin 1.85.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] AAndreas:
so can we somehow reset the bin counter? so we can have warranty back?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Panos_dm:
Well, it possibly won't be available until jelly bean (if there is a release).
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] djfnz:
JIG usb work in S6500?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] intika:
there is no mmcblk0boot0 with actuals firmwares tested

- Original rom

- ics

- cm9

- cm10.1

the needed partition is not present... may be will have an ics kernel that show the partition... don't have the time to recompile exact rom version for this... :(

any way will see later ;)

i heard somewhere in the forum that jig brick the phone any one tested it ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Fallen_Knight:
usb jig works on making phone go odin mode but it cant reset bin..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
what Chainfire meant by ICS upgrade is that the bootloader itself has to be upgraded, not the ROM itself
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
no bootloader update but ics based kernel

but this method may not work on gm2 as it have qualcomm processor instead of exynos
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
ICS based kernel? It's just a kernel update. (updated drivers etc.) It seems that you don't know almost anything about kernels. Samsung updates their bootloaders for every new major release. ICS/JB needs some changes that allows to find this partition more easily. Mini 2 GB kernel works on JB, so you can also call it JB based kernel, why don't you find bin counter on it? You won't. Because it's the same GB bootloader...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
well we can use triangle away on a galaxy s2 running ics without updating its bootloader(n flashing via odin)

moreover chainfire said gb kernel don't mount those partitions but ics do

well i am not expert at this so I can be wrong
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
so you upgraded from GB to ICS without flashing bootloader? If those partitions could be just mounted I'm sure Chainfire could mount them on GB, too
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] intika:
the partition (mapped memory) is only present with ics kernel ... mounting it under gb is not possible or hardly possible... until some one take time to recompile an ics kernel/bootloader for mini 2 there is no solution
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
it's in the bootloader. We have already got jelly bean, and the kernel works, what do you think makes kernel GB, ICS etc. specific? A kernel is just a kernel with specific drivers for each Android OS and board.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] fcaronte:
is this method work or is a Work in progress?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] testz:
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/data/local/tmp/mmcblk0 bs=4096 count=4096"

adb pull /data/local/tmp/mmcblk0

change to

00005004: 00

00005008: 02

or use chainfire

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Tomo123:
So, just to be on the safe side... TriangleAway 2.90 works?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Porobu:

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockybye:
Hi, I recently got a Razr i and have been using it for about 10 days now.

However over the last couple of days I have noticed that most things seem to have got a lot slower especially updateing or downloading anything.

Has anyone noticed anything similar and do you think its developed a hardware fault ?

Thanks

Colin
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackyJack:
Did you reboot the phone since ?

I had rebooted and cleared caches, I then uninstalled chrome and its back to normal now
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Balaram12:
i woud like to have the stock note 10.1 lockscreen for our galaxy tab 7 +
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ruckus92:
Yo yo.

Got a gnex running latest Paranoid Android JB, and it's loosing reception all the time, but for no more than a minute. Calls get dropped, but not a lot.

Also my sister bought a gnex just about when I did, and hers has connectivity always, though it's completely stock.

Impatient as I am, I flashed it the day I got it. Bad move I guess:P So I don't know if I might need to replace the phone, or if somethings clashing with the rom and such.

Version is 4.1.1, PA. Maguro

Is this common? Or might I need a replacement?
[Nexus 7 General] itsirfandude:
Just days before Apple took a dig on n7 claiming it to be a failure cheap plastic having blown up phone app and leps screen estate than the mini and blah blah blah

http://m.cnet.com/news/fact-checking-phil-schiller-on-ipad-mini-vs-nexus-7/57538617

http://512pixels.net/2012/10/keynote-nexus/

What's ur say on that ?
[Nexus 7 General] fenturi:
The fact they they felt the need to talk about it directly tells you something.
[Nexus 7 General] Wilks3y:
My View, I agree with the above posted.

1 - They are talking about it, it's obviously caught their attention and is effecting them and they don't like it, so they mock it and expect everything to think, oh its Apple they must be right.

2 - Nexus 7 has less screen estate? YES BECAUSE ITS A 7 INCH TABLET, the so called iPad MINI? is a bigger tablet (7.9 inch), therefor not very mini what so ever and is obviously going to have more "Screen Estate" than the Nexus7

3 - Apple are just worried, because people are waking up and realising that a 10 inch tab is a little to big, and clunky and in the iPad's case, HEAVY and makes you feel like you've been weight lifting after a little while of use.

4 - Apple is Apple, this is expected. All they do is ***** and moan (excuse my language) at other companies.

This is only because they realise that since iPhone 3/4? NOTHING HAS CHANGED AND THEY REGURGITATE THE SAME OLD CRAP ! and therefor people are getting BORED of their products, and their method of "Locking" people down and giving them no options or choice.

This is why Android is growing day by day !
[Nexus 7 General] VanillaG0rilla:
PWNED
[Nexus 7 General] CrazyPeter:
So you get a low rez screen with a old Gen processor, no GPS. rubbish maps, and a simplistic but limiting OS.

And you get to pay MORE for it....

Or as it's been discussed on G+:

(Credit to Anuj Ahooja for this sensible and accurate writing on the subject)
[Nexus 7 General] WheresTrent:
I can understand why Apple now wants to enter the mini-tablet market, but it doesn't look so good on them to release something with lesser specs and missing features from their competitors, at a higher price point too. But, they're Apple. People will buy it because they're familiar with iOS and maybe want something easier to carry around. Maybe they're iPhone owners that have resisted the 10" iPads, but now want something with bigger screen real estate.

I don't want to make excuses as to why it may do well for them, just trying to see it from the view of their target audience. You're probably better off buying a 10" iPad on eBay with better specs.
[Nexus 7 General] James-NC:
Well it was just business.They were streaming only to apple owners so of course they would tell them what they wanted to hear.Just selling a product.
[Nexus 7 General] taffypride:
Apple are just stuck in a rut whereas they kickstarted the true Touchscreen Smartphone-without-a-hardware-keyboard market and kickstarted the Tablet market.

The iPad Mini, to quote a mate in the local phone shop, is nothing more than an iPad 2 which has been put through too hot a wash in the washing machine...
[Nexus 7 General] psycho2097:
nice....
[Nexus 7 General] St1ck33:
Didn't bother reading the specs on the iPad Mini, but there's no GPS? :lol:
[Nexus 7 General] Kilj0y:
There's GPS on the cellular models that will be released later.
[Nexus 7 General] michaelkenward:
Maybe Apple didn't go for seven inches because it has a patent on 7.9 inches.
[Nexus 7 General] drpepe:
Ye gods, I don't really know why, but but the use decimal fractions for imperial measurements irritates the hell out of me! Whatever happened to sixteenths! :p

Ought these OEMs moved on to the metric system anyhow!?
[Nexus 7 General] michaelkenward:
I'm all for metric, but unfortunately the USA, especially engineers, seem to think it is the devil's plaything, possibly because the words sound suspiciously French.

In other comments about the i7.9 I mentioned that it is 15 mm wider than the Nexus 7, which probably rules it out for most jacket pockets. Maybe Apple found that it could not patent pocketability.
[Nexus 7 General] SeanBlader:
Woah, hey there, US engineers don't have anything against the metric system, rather it parses nicely in code. Blame the whole screen size thing on ignorant marketers, we are forced to convert **** because they are idiots and think he customer is as dumb as they are.
[Nexus 7 General] veeman:
A majority of people in the US have grown up with the imperial system and are most comfortable with that so they use inches, feet, miles. It's as frustrating for Americans to convert metric system to imperial. And anyway, I'm pretty sure the US doesn't have an official system of measurement so they are free to use whatever.

Amazon is bragging how the iPad Mini spurred Fire HD sales.

http://allthingsd.com/20121026/amazon-says-kindle-withstood-ipad-mini-assault/
[Nexus 7 General] sRDennyCrane:
As a corollary to the whole "iOS can't scale apps", THAT is why Apple claims to have so many apps. There's a different version for every resolution screen out there. Plus they count each different language as a separate app, too.
[Nexus 7 General] Anthonok:
Also on that on stage comparison both tablets showed the same exact amount of content. One was just bigger.
[Nexus 7 General] panSpermia:
LOL!!!
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
Yea the iPad mini is a fail. I am surprised they used the new chipset though. I thought it would simply be a repackaged iPad 2.

I also like how they brag how the screen is "bigger" then standard 7" variants.... which isn't making a mini smaller, better? If people wanted a bigger tablet then a 7" they would just have opted to get a full tablet.

Also no Apple device has GPS except the cellular models... but even then it isn't real GPS, I don't think, as opposed to cellular triangulation. My buddy has an iPhone 4S and his Google Maps we're never very accurate. Maybe it does, I dunno.

Also a 7.9" screen with a pretty low resolution would look like crap. Even Chinese manufactures have higher resolution screens.
[Nexus 7 General] LiquidNitrogen:
I like the screen size of the Mini. 4:3 is very good for a tablet, there's a reason we use 4:3 aspect ratio paper even though there are thousands of different ratios. The screen resolution could be better but if they manage to give it great colour reproduction and good brightness then it'd be reasonable. The screen resolution is a bit of a tradeoff for the high quality materials (aluminum, etc) and better warranty/repair-service. I'd love if there was a flagship android device with a 4:3 aspect ratio display.

Mini wins on apps but Nexus has got MxPlayer which is a huge benefit because converting videos is a massive pain and let's face it, watching videos is gonna be a main usage case for this size of tablet. There's lots of other points to cover but Apple covered them pretty well. The only upsides the Nexus has is the price, the OS (if you prefer Android, I'm neutral personally), and the unique apps that can't be on iOS due to Apple's restrictions. NFC is kinda moot right now for most users. If I had to pick I'd probably go Mini but if Google can re-up the Nexus with better build quality (ie. no screen lift or cracking), a better warranty (read the horror stories around), a MicroSD card slot and a brighter screen, it'd be about even - objectively speaking. Of course, some will prefer either one because of their personal preferences (love/hate of any feature including, and especially, brand).

If anything though, Apple's keynote really drives home that Google needs to fix their apps situation. Crack down on piracy and make better developer SDK tools to encourage developer support would be my recommendation.
[Nexus 7 General] durangatang:
I think it would take improvements on Apple's part to equal the nexus 7... not the other way around...
[Nexus 7 General] tntgdh:
What bothers me is that millions of week minded around the world will believe in every word they said. Fell sorry for all, those poor bastards.

Also i m really mad with the way apple distort facts to make ipad and iphones look better to the simple minded.

They should be sued for false advertising.
[Nexus 7 General] aalupatti:
What ever said and done, and it's still going to sell millions and more than any individual android tablet.

I am no apple fan but would love to test it out and see the portability potential.

The one device that I wish came out was a galaxy Note 7

Nexus 7 @ mobile
[Nexus 7 General] Toyeboy:
Apple likes to brag and I watched the keynote and really don't like the way they act, but comparing it to the nexus 7 I was literally agreeing with everything they said about it. The nexus 7 could have a lot more screen area if it didn't have the annoying notification bar and huge control buttons bar that is there even in games and whatever you're doing. The lack of tablet optimized apps is the biggest concern and it seems is not getting much better even with several million Android tablets in users hands. Apple just has all the developer support and when it comes down tonight, the apps are what makes or breaks a tablet, and I've yet to see any on my nexus 7 that are a huge step up over my 4inch phone.
[Nexus 7 General] Kearkan:
Ipad and Ipad mini are crap, sold by a stale company that has no interest in ingenuity, and for hipsters who can't tell the difference anyway.
[Nexus 7 General] littld:
I'd like to see an iPad mini for myself before making a decision to buy one. Bottom line is I did like my Nexus 7 but it had too many glitches. Apple are right about the screen space. With Chrome's tabs, the top notification bar and the bottom navigation control there's hardly any room for the web page to display. iPads and iPhones have had a full screen option in Safari for ages. And it's true full screen. That little Home button saves a whole bar at the bottom every time you look at it.

So I spent some time on the options. I did want Flash if possible (a lot of news sites still use Flash and I thought at least I could do that on the Nexus 7). Chrome doesn't support it so I tried half a dozen or so browsers which did. Boat came out on top here and Flash was acceptable sometimes, though prone to crashing on full screen. I know iOS doesn't do Flash either, just had hoped to get it to work on the Nexu 7I found myself using Boat when I wanted Flash (used the Flashify and Share option) and for full screen in landscape but the Chrome browser was better for portrait. No reading mode (as on iOS) so tried a few of the apps. One crashed every time I opened it and the other used up the battery doing something in the background all the time. No matter, would have been nice to read some articles without the fluff.

I got a bit more ambitious and found there is a way to get full screen on the Nexus but I have to root it first, detoxify it (something like that) then get a tool called GMD Gestures which lets me use four finger swipes up and down instead of using the buttons. I wasn't sure if I wanted to go through all the effort and spend the money to still be unsure if it would work. Maybe I would end up with four swipes up to get rid of some of the bars in landscape with one browser and not bother swiping using a different browser in portrait. Etc. I think if I can buy a device which supports real full screen mode (that's upto the all the edges of the screen) then it might be worth the extra,

I am not an Apple fanboy before anyone starts, I've just been unable to get a decent web experience from the Nexus even with a lot of hard work and searching. Even the Playbook had a better web experience. I'm sure it's good for games but for me the Nexus 7 falls short - it's gone to eBay heaven and I hope some gamer buys it and gets more use out of it than I could.
[Nexus 7 General] sRDennyCrane:
You need to choose one side here... There's a reason TV and film use a wider format than 4:3. And if most people use their tablets to view video, 4:3 simply does not make sense. 16:9 makes sense. Unless those black bars are part of the "Apple Experience™".
[Nexus 7 General] opz187:
This is why apple is so scared http://bgr.com/2012/10/26/android-tablets-take-a-huge-chunk-of-ipads-market-share-in-q3/. They are starting to lose a lot of the tablet market.. so they resort to tactic little kids use.. calling the competitors names and insulting them. And they have every right to be scared.. android is always 1 step ahead and has been for the last year or 2. But starting with the third quarter of this year.. figures are showing just how real of a threat android is to apple.
[Nexus 7 General] foreverandroid:
Android will take the lead in Tablet share by next year, no doubt about it.
[Nexus 7 General] sRDennyCrane:
Just for the record, I have invented a time machine of sorts. It uses beta particles that are flung around a super-massive gravitational object to send information back in time. AND, I just sold the design to Apple. It will allow them to patent things they never invented...before the people who really invented them.

It doesn't matter that I'm telling you all this. Once it goes online, Apple will buy XDA before I have a chance to post this and it will have never happened.

Time Travel- It Just Works.

​
[Nexus 7 General] aLPaSLaN07:
Apple is sooo much in trouble with 4:3 ratio.. 16:9 has gone all the way but Apple can not transform into it because of their apps that are hardcoded for certain resolutions.. They need to find a solution to this.. Otherwise apple will find only a bunch of fanboy to sell their devices..
[Nexus 7 General] sRDennyCrane:
You should venture onto the Apple forums... it's amazing how they spend hours justifying problems. Case in point, the soldered in RAM in the new Macbook Pro. It's BETTER that it's soldered in. If a user upgraded with non-Apple RAM, it would perform terrible! It makes the laptop thinner! They give you more than enough RAM anyway... and if it's not enough, you can double it for only $1,000!

Seriously, it's like that.

I've seen them defend their 4:3 screens to amazing ends... even when it's pointed out that ALL media now is at least 16:9. Well, other than Instagram. Oddly, they have people believing a square picture is somehow good.
[Nexus 7 General] Jbluna:
Guys were sounding like the apple fans after Samsung put up the s3 ads. Let's not go that route. All I hope for is for Google to retaliate back as well. And bring it on
[Nexus 7 General] yanksrock1000:
I have never seen an Apple fan make these claims, at least on the Apple forum I go on...:P
[Nexus 7 General] itsirfandude:
No matter wateva b our groans and grumbles on the iPad mini the tablet pre orders sold out just in minutes..with all those crazy fanboys Apple's gonna reign again in the tablet market with the pre orders response making it certain each n every tym!!
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
I've seen and heard the 4:3 argument all the time. Hell, I just had an Apple loving friend arguing that 4:3 is superior for all tablet uses except movies. He believes its better for web browsing, book reading, etc.
[Nexus 7 General] harise100:
Sure it is for a fan boy, until Apple releases a 16:9 tablet, and all of a sudden wide screen is best.

Remember that 3.5'' was the perfect phone size!

I would never buy 3:4 because I got a Nexus 7 and know that 16:9 lets you see more.
[Nexus 7 General] littld:
That may be true for movies but I still see a lot less on the Nexus 7 compared with the Kindle Fire or Playbook or iPad. It's down to the ugly black nav bar at the bottom of Android and the fact Chrome doesn't permit full screen. The Nexus 7 is simply crippled for web. But I accept it's good for (washed out) movies and games. Sadly I don't play games on my tablet and I prefer watching movies on a larger screen.
[Nexus 7 General] harise100:
Crippled for web?

Websites,books, magazines, hell all media is wide screen... They have usually much more height than width.

3.5'' is the perfect phone size! Or not? Since when?
[Nexus 7 General] littld:
Books are fine on the Nexus - suits the portrait mode where not so much space is lost. For most web pages, landscape works better. In theory the Nexus 7 should be better because there are more pixels. In reality you only see a few lines because of all the wasted space at the top and bottom of android and no full screen option. This was fixed ages ago on every other tablet except android. Since most web pages are designed with landscape (e.g. desktop) in mind, the Nexus is crippled for web until Google decide to fix it.
[Nexus 7 General] harise100:
Use Dolphin browser and you can have your full screen mode.

This is android, that means I can take care of my self. I don't need Google to fix things for me!
[Nexus 7 General] littld:
Thanks for the reply. On my Nexus I still get the ugly black bar with the buttons on it, even with Dolphin. Is there a setting in Dolphin to remove this?
[Nexus 7 General] Grendal17:
Mini

I was really disappointed with the release of the Mini. Apple seems to feel they can throw an inferior piece of junk out there with their label on it and people will rush to buy it. Then again, they are probably right.
[Nexus 7 General] harise100:
Use a ROM, where you can hide the bar, like Team EOS Rom.
[Nexus 7 General] littld:
Thanks I'll look into that.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maritimesbob:
I've flashed both Ice Cold Sandwich and Jellytime. Love both the roms, but noticed the speaker sound (ringtone/notification) is not as loud as with the GB sense roms. The sound is also quite "tinny" sounding too.

I was not sure if this was typical of these roms because they were never officially release by HTC, issue with drivers, hardware etc?

Anyone else noticed this?

Thanks.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adilrenzu:
Yes official ROMs do tend to have a better sound thn the unofficial ones. U can use volume+ from the market, it will solve our problem.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gulley88:
I've noticed this as well, poor sound or metallic voice sound with the newer roms. Tried many and just decided to stick with a GB rom, afterall why have a phone that you can't talk on??
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maritimesbob:
I don't find the voice sound a problem, it's the speaker sound (ringtones etc) that seems quiet and tinny sounding.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maritimesbob:
I just flashed the last stable CM7 on the phone and the sound quality/volume was just as poor. As CM7 is not based on a HTC gingerbread rom, it seems this problem is an issue with roms not based on HTC gingerbread/ics/jb releases.

Just watched something on Youtube and I noticed the difference, the volume was much quieter and tinny sounding compared to ARHD (based on HTC rom).

It's not a big deal, but the sound quality and volume is considerably poorer in customs roms, where as a rom that is based on HTC rom has much better sound quality and volume.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adilrenzu:
Yes its only with the speaker sound as i hv mentioned above
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Komorias:
Is there audio beats for gb rom?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adilrenzu:
There is a flashable zip file for beats audio. search for it in the xda forum n check if it works for u as i couldnt make it work. If u concerned with low volume use volume+ but on cyanogenmod 7 use custom settings on the app otherwise u will hv a distorted sound
