I have a problem with my bootloader.

When I go into bootloader (down button + power button) on my screen displays "Downloading ... Do not turn off target"

That's normal.

Vol up + vol down (i.e. entire key in) + power will get you to BL.

Ok, but I can not access bootloader.

No menu appears.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CMNein:
So vol key in + power boots you to what?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
Are you holding the entire volume rocker and the power button until your phone vibrates? It should vibrate once to indicate that it's about to boot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
no, you went into ODIN mode.

the bootloader is power + vol up AND vol down.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tuice:
and what is this ODIN mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CMNein:
Samsung utility for flashing .tar files. It's not something that people with a GN typically use.

FWIW if you've successfully made it to your BL you'll see this:

[Galaxy S II General] downwiththebanksters:
Every time I look at my fading/blueing OLED screen and wish I had an LCD I think of the poor buggers with HTC's (etc.) that have to waive warrantee rights to simply use and customise the devices they paid hard money for as they see fit. Jigs and yellow traingles aside, at the most basic level I would hate a phone without adblock...and it goes on from there to the joys provided by easy root and unlocked bootloaders. So complain about Sammy all you want, but whenever I look elsewhere the grass is not always that much greener.

Don't even get me started about no SD cards on Nexus devices....

[NFC Hacking] night_dragon:
First off I'm new to NFC tags and programming them. I was wandering if it would be possible to program a nfc tag in a manner that when I swipe it it would record the following things:

First swipe=current time, date and the address of the location the tag is at.(I would like to have the actual address of the location, not the geolocation)

Second swipe= current time date.

Basicly it would be a time in and time out, if I understand right I would basicly have to create a switch.

I would like it to send the information to either a calander of perferably a spread sheet.

Is something like this possible, and any idea what size nfc tag I may need.

Thank you in advance for any help,

Sean
[NFC Hacking] hollywoodfrodo:
That's not REALLY an NFC question, because basically like you said the NFC part is just - "Can you make an NFC Switch/Toggle tag?" The answer to that is yes, with the right NFC App. I recommend NFC Smart Q.

The stuff you want to do is about having an app do all that - probably Tasker would be best. Date, Time, and Geolocation I'm sure it can do. But specific address... not so sure about that.

Anyway, with the Tasker URL Launcher plugin app from the play store you can use a URL to launch a task. So you'd create two task - one to do the date, time, location and a second to do date/time. Then using NFC Smart Q you create a switch tag - have the first command be the URL to launch the first Tasker Task and the second to launch the second.

You'd have to ask in a Tasker forum about being able to get exact address, but my guess is it can provide geolocation only...
[NFC Hacking] nerys71:
there is more than enough SPACE in the tags themselves to store the address just write it into the tag. the trick would be recording the time/date and linking it to the stored address.

Hi I recently rooted my phone on 2.2. I installed the latest cm10 nightley experimental build and the data is terribly slow (0.16 mbps down). I'm thinking its something to do with the radio in the build.

Does anyone know of a custom rom CM10, AOKP or whatever with a radio that works with straight talk data? Its not an APN problem i tried many APNs that worked in the past.

If you are looking for a custom rom for your rooted 2.2 HOX do NOT flash the latest experimental build unless you want edge speeds!

Let me know if you are in a similar situation as me.

Viper XL does not come with a radio, none of the sense roms do. But my understanding of 2.20 is that yes, you are stuck with the radio.

As some of you may know flappjaxxx had created a Hercules specific kernel for our phone with OC/Uv capabilities. Unfortunately only after 1 day of dealing with a few xda members he has decided to shut it down. I just like to say one thing about this we have to remember these developers do things that they may like and then they share it with us. If it does not meet your satisfaction I would suggest you then find a way to make it fit your needs and definitely not complain.

With that said he informed me that updates if any(I asked him to not stop for Hercules) can be found on his goo.im page http://goo.im/devs/flappjaxxx/t989

Thanks flappjaxxx for giving us a choice if only for a day... Not trying to have this be a back and forth just letting people know he will try and do updates when they are needed I guess and where to find it.

If you want to discuss anything about the kernel since the thread was closed feel free to get it started in here... To me the vibration is better than the other custom kernel and interactive makes my screen react faster. I do not have the lag I was having before, still checking out battery life of course

Peace!

Why are people so rude? It's one thing to offer constructive criticism, but to unnecessarily bash someone's work because you don't agree with it? It's ridiculous. I'm glad that this kernel will still be updated every now and again. My phone's running a lot smoother since I flashed it.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m4d4:
Hi All,

I listened to a Note 2 today using my Bose QC15's though the sound quality (clarity) is way better than my Note 1, it still does not have the output volume of the Apple devices ( I have had to keep a iphone for music purposes). I'm quite disappointed. Running volume at max is just not loud enough.

It seems all Android phones have this issue. I have tired all kinds of software solutions with the GN1 but never got the sound quality or volume I desired.

Anyone with the note 2 found a solution?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m4d4:
Great replies!

I'll try the volume boost app. I had tried volume + amongst others but always found the sound quality degraded badly.

The suggestion regarding the fiio amp, yes for my note 1 already have a fiio e11 which is amazing and can drive any headphones but carrying a GN1 or 2 with it rubber banded to the back is simply too bulky.

Getting rid of the bose qc15? I commute 3 hours a day, and fly regularly so the noise cancellation is a god send, I've tried many alternatives but never found a better solution.

There is no doubt in my mind that the note, both 1 and 2 are the best phones out there. Way more useful and fun than an iphone, I just wish Samsung would sort out the volume level through headphones as it is the one area which I feel is compromised.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suicidal Chicken:
You're wrong. There has been a port for both S3 and the Note 2. S3 was by Gokhan, siyah kernel and now the Note 2 by Andrei, Perseus kernel. It's script based

Samsung have put a limit to 55db on max volume, if want louder, root and change the limit. Or use sounds apps and boost the volume.

For me its loud enough, too high volume can damage you ears in long terms listening and either I got good ears. Or peoples have damage theirs ears by iPhones volumes already. :confused:

The speaker is loud, and frankly quite amazing, but the problem is with headphone volume.

I'm using Sennheiser PXC450s and WMA files are not quite loud enough for me on max volume. Most MP3 files are loud enough, in fact max volume is too much. However this is with zero ambient noise. Sound clarity is very impressive.

That's probably going to be your best free solution. Has quick reply and a ton of theming. Another choice might be handcent, tho I don't remember being impressed with it on my Droid X.

You may be unfamiliar with Android but usually there is an app in the Play Store that can do whatever you want whereas in iOS that may not always be the case. Need a new gallery app? Search the Play Store. Need a file manager? Search the Play Store. Need a calendar app? Search the Play Store. You should get my point now.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shangrila500:
Paranoid Android has the same features too, as do the majority of AOSP roms. I personally like PA and Liquid Smooth, and on my phone PA is the more stable of the 2. I for some reason just didn't like CM10, even though that's what PA and Liquid are based off of..... anyway, the jist of it is you ought to just test em all out, cause what's stable for one person may be extremely unstable for another.

Turns or I was wrong, AOKP doesn't have the popup, but neither does this one. It did give me an idea to which seemed to work for me. I just extracted the mms.apk file from a CM10 nightly and installed it.

I'll Dropbox it in a minute since Tapatalk doesn't let you attach anything except pictures.

Use a root browser and find system/apps/mms.apk (or secmms.apk if you're on TW) and rename it with a .bak on the end. Put the new file in the same place and make sure it's got the she permissions. Reboot and you should be golden.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
You will re-name it to whatever was originally in that folder. I believe all AOSP ROMs it is called Mms.apk and Touchwiz is SecMms.apk.

Far as the permissions, which it sounds like what might be causing your problem, depending on the root browser you are using(I use the one in ROM Toolbox) the format of the permissions you will want it to have are either "rw-r--r--" or "read" for 'Owner', 'Group' and 'Others' then "write" for 'Owner' only and "execute" for none. Or the final format would be 0644

Those are the three different ways that permissions are displayed.

---------- Post added at 02:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

I was just thinking, if the whole permissions thing is still confusing after my last post there, I might have thought of something that will do it for you fairly simply.

Replace the apk file as mentioned. Reboot. Then reboot again, into recovery tho. Then go to advanced and click on fix permissions.

A) Not sure 100% if this will work, B) the two reboots may be unnecessary, you may be able to replace and reboot directly into recovery and have it work.
