[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k1mu:
Make sure you've got a CURRENT root package for your tablet. I had an old one that I downloaded almost a year ago and tried to install that after the upgrade. It looked like it installed correctly, but didn't actually get root permissions set on the su binary.

I installed SuperSU instead and it worked just fine.

Try

as that claims to be current.

Anyone else having a nightmare of a time with video recording? Compared to my original one x it's very choppy and loads of picture noise. Very very disappointed. Think I might sell it. I don't find anything else, apart from jellybean, worth the upgrade to be honest.
[HTC One X+] nikufellow:
Hmmm i thought they might actually have tweaked the camera at least on the software side of things to make it better than one x but this turns out to be just the opposite ! Anyhow thanks because these days only real user opinions can be trusted not those reviewers !
[HTC One X+] Yezariael:
I don't know what's going on, my HOX+ records very well... I have to guess if

1) users do something very wrong

2) there are some faulty devices out there

3) the want to troll the HOX+

Don't forget it's a smartphone and no DSLR, so you will need enough light for pics, but that's the same with all similar decives with this small sensors out there...

Mine is very very fast, get's warm but never in any way hot, battery life is great and recording of stills and video is excellent compared with other smartphones...
[HTC One X+] Dibben:
+1 for this.

No issues for me at all.
[HTC One X+] sjred_uk:
I love my one x camera. Stills and video are great. The one x+ stills are not quite as good but I can live with it. It's not bad by any means but the video recording is very poor. Can't live with it like this. Going to do a factory reset and see if that helps. If not I'm going to try and exchange it. I'm thinking I might have a faulty device.
[HTC One X+] Sharpshooterrr:
Maybe a third party video recording app can fix this?
[HTC One X+] sjred_uk:
Any suggestions for 3rd party apps?

I shouldn't have to rely on them but it's worth a shot.
[HTC One X+] Sharpshooterrr:
You might want to try this one.
[HTC One X+] sjred_uk:
Thanks. Will check it out. And report back.
[HTC One X+] sjred_uk:
Just checked the app you suggested. It's definitely better. Love the fact you can alter the bitrate. It seems to solve the blockiness and noise. Although im only checking on my phone as I'm not at home to try it in my tv. Unfortunately the chopiness is still there. Most annoying. Will have to check more when I'm home. You guys who are having no problems, what are you comparing the video recordings too? Which phones?
[HTC One X+] sjred_uk:
Just an update.

I've exchanged the phone for a new one and the stock video camera is still definitely far inferior to the original one x. Not sure if it's just a software problem but I assume it is. Can anyone else with both phones confirm this to save my sanity please.
[HTC One X+] droidiac13:
I'll try it tomorrow and report back.
[HTC One X+] Hunt3r.j2:
Almost guaranteed to be a software issue. HTC just looooooves to compress the living hell out of everything without giving an option to remove compression.
[HTC One X+] sjred_uk:
Thanks. Try and compare on a tv if possible
[HTC One X+] kwilkins:
I have the same problem with poor choppy video. I did a side by side comparison with the original HOX and the video is much better than the HOX+.
[HTC One X+] sjred_uk:
Anyone else having disappointing video recording on the one x+?

And also has anybody got any 3rd party camcorder apps to recommend? I'm using LG cam at the minute but it seems a bit buggy.
[HTC One X+] celine62:
Any problem for my part, j 'ai having made a concert of the group " the cranberries " and my videos photographs are splendid
[HTC One X+] sjred_uk:
Are you looking at the videos on a tv or just the phone?
[HTC One X+] arminyack:
Agreed...mine is terrible too. Most certainly the software. Trying Procapture, as the app listed earlier in this thread just crashes when I click on the advanced options.
[HTC One X+] sjred_uk:
Thank god I'm not going crazy. Thanks for putting my mind at rest. I'm a bit worried that not enough people have noticed this to bring it to HTC,s attention.

Hope they fix it soon or I might just keep my one x and sell this.

Shame because I love everything else about the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mac11700:
I'm going today in a couple hours to get my Note 2...and was wondering if anyone has tried it yet on the Note 2 ? I used it a lot for my Captivate/Atrix 4g and like how you can make things look with it...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] geovas77:
l am using Nova launcher, l think it's a lot better than launcher pro and you can customise it to your heart's content. It will even accept themes from other launchers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lordpelvis:
I used to use launcher pro on my S2 before ICS. On ICS it would crash so im using GoEx.

Love it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wallyg8r:
+1 for Nova launcher. I have my Note 2 looking just like my GNex.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mac11700:
I used Nova before on my Atrix...and it crashed often...any issues with Nova doing the same on the Note II...

Thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] geovas77:
I've used it on the stock rom as well as on omega 6, no crashes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] frewys:
+1 for GoEx since about a year or two. The main reason is that I can change Icon size. Don't know if any of the other launcher has gotten it yet. Feel free to enlighten me always looking to try "new" things.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mac11700:
Thanks Guys

Looks like I have to wait another day for my Note...seems the AT&T stores have a very limited supply of them today...and my store only had to display ones they wouldn't sell me.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omnia1994:
i am running jb in my note 10.1 using zedomax's apps2sdscript

i found that it was annoying to let the gallery rescan each time i reboot (after swapping storage)

do i have the way to let the gallery scan only selected folders?

thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhinxApps:
place a ".nomedia" file in every "no-media-folder" ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Doesn't work on the JB release for anything that you put in after the initial scan.... Have .nomedia in a heap of folders and it works fine because I don't add to them but as soon as I add another file, whether its pic, vid, or music, it will scan the folder again and find the new files when I don't want them displayed in gallery....
[Galaxy Note II General] zoidster:
Since discovering this I have noticed there has been an issue noted on here regarding Micro USB leads not fitting the charging port properly on the Note 2, this has never been a problem for my Note 2 so I didn't realise I had a problem. However,when I recently rooted my Note, Just as I was about to press "Start" the Note disappeared from Odin, then re-appeeared. I checked the leads and despite seeming to fit perfectly & changing OK it appeared every time I touched the cable (phone end) it would flash between "added" & "removed" on Odin.

Now of course this is simple, use another lead or (as I have now done) trimming down the plastic on the plug sorts this out, but my concern what that I barely discovered the problem in time, I am no expert on these things but I suspect I'd be in a heap of trouble now if I'd discovered a few seconds later?

All I am saying is, give your lead a wiggle before using odin etc. ....And Samsung, What were you thinking eh? ;)

[Galaxy Note II General] anonymous572:
All my microusb cables as well as original samsung cable fits good to device. I think you have defect cable\device jack.
[Galaxy Note II General] whmcal:
Thanks for pointing this out Zoidster.

This is issue with defective cable. I noticed it since my 1st charge, but thought it was a one off and just my bad luck. Now others are complaining, it is becoming clear that Samsung might be supplying some bad cables. They fit in socket but only loosely. Any other cable I use on my note 2, fits tightly and securely and you dont get an intermittent charge or connection status.
[Galaxy Note II General] kastafela:
That's your problem. Not a major one.
[Galaxy Note II General] zoidster:
^^ Bit of a strange attittude? Its no longer my problem as I am now aware and have corrected it, however It could potentially be anyone who has one of these dodgy cables and doesn't realise's problem, mine seemed fine (No problems charging) until I was about to flash. Surely you'd agree its better that people are aware of a potential problem (however isolated it may be) rather than finding out they are affected halfway through a flash?
[Galaxy Note II General] Droidzone:
I've noticed this too. While copying some huge movies,it would occasionally keep throwing errors about the device being missing. Cable issues, no doubt.

- Swyped from my Galaxy Note 2
[Galaxy Note II General] E_Goldstein:
I have to be honest my charger/data cable falls out quite easy if its knocked, but tbh why would you be going anyway near the cable when flashing with odin thats a very bad idea
[Galaxy Note II General] mlecruz:
I noticed that the cable that was bundled with the Note 2 had a smaller "hook" compared to my older Samsung cables. That could somehow be the problem.
[Galaxy Note II General] MishXT:
Yeah I have that problem too the cable is just loose for my note 2. My brother and cousin also have this issue. Fortunately I have a Nokia and a HTC cable that I use instead
[Galaxy Note II General] sos_sifou:
I confirm your theory, the supplied USB cable looks great, except it is useless and dangerous !!!

as the pic shows, it is a millimeter shorter than a working micro USB cable. Note that I can't get the original cable to work with my International Galaxy note 2 (UK), it doesn't connect to Kies, but it worked once, and I was going to start updating it to a newer ROM (suggested by Kies) then suddenly it stopped updating, thanks god my Internet is too slow and it was still downloading the Firmware.
[Galaxy Note II General] androidizen:
Ye ive had this issue, I switched to a htc cable and never had another problem... Interestingly I have an S3 cable (black) that has a much tighter fit than the Note 2, even though you would think its the same design.. bad batch of note 2 white connectors?
[Galaxy Note II General] peare:
I have some cables (one original Samsung which came with Note 1) which doesnt work. But they worked well for some time. First I thought there was a problem with the phone (HTC Desire) then the same cable didnt work with my other phones. The original Samsung cable the same... just stopped working. All the non working cables need a bit of a lift at the entry point to the jack. Then they work.
[Galaxy Note II General] noizytg:
This is the hot issue for this device sold in my country. It's easily slipped of from its port.

I use old Sony mobile cable. It snugged fit on the port.
[Galaxy Note II General] sos_sifou:
Well, I have modified my USB cable as i thought it doesn't work because it is short, you can see in the picture >

and still doesn't work properly (connect and disconnect many times) but I think that the cable it self is defective, it misses a pin (it should be 5 pins but this one has only 4) check the pic bellow >

this is very bad for a 700$ phone ! note that I have a scratched screen out of the box plus a defective backcover and I don't have warranty because it is not launched yet in my country :(
[Galaxy Note II General] xtra10000:
I misplaced my note2 cable which is relatively loose and it slips from the phone's port. I am currently using my BlackBerry 9780 cable which fjts perfectly. :good:
[Galaxy Note II General] sos_sifou:
Exactly, you can take it off easily! If you look at the picture above, you can see that the port of the supplied cable is a bit larger than the black one (Sony Ericsson)

[Galaxy Note II General] sky1193:
I cut the plastic back on my cable so more of the plug sticks out and it works perfectly fine now.

Regurgitated From My Giant Note II
[Galaxy Note II General] sos_sifou:
I did it but still doesn't work, the plug itself is too big, and it disconnect easily if you just pull it gently! And mine apparently misses a pin, My Sony Ericsson cable is much better than the supplied crap.

Well the point of all this discussion is: if you have a new galaxy note, don't trust the usb cable who comes with it and get another one ASAP.

That's how I soft-bricked my SGS2 actually. I tought my usb socket was broke. Changing my cable fixed it.
[Acer Iconia A500] HD1:
I live in the Houston area. Bricked my A500 will pay you to fix email me . I went from CWM v5 1.3.4 to 1.7 and now I can only go into boot loader but nothing can be applied , tried different ROMS wipe everything still nothing

[Acer Iconia A500] twistedknickers:
If I lived in Houston I would try to help you, can't you get into recovery? What happens when you connect to your PC ?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
No kidding, I don't live there either, but to help, we need some more information.

You are probably on the HC bootloader, which is why your roms won't install.

Check the bootloader Install sticky in the dev forum. You need to upgrade it to the V8 bootloader.

Then you can install the ICS and CM10 roms.

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] graphdarnell:
I have a similar problem. Bootloader V8 installed fine. But when I flashed different ROMs through CWM (install zip from SD card inside recovery), it hung at the screen "CZ's Bootloader V8, booting primary kernel" forever. Scratched my head for a couple of nights now, wondering what the glitch was. I even tried Bad Sector's V8 green. Same result. Help!!!!

Edit: I can still downgrade by flashing EUU (though not TD's V4, which installs fine but won't boot back up once I turn it off and on again???). Anyway, running HC 3.0.1 does make you feel like a Neanderthal. A clear instance of cruel and unusual punishment, I'd say. Even HC 3.2 won't stick! WTH?
[Acer Iconia A500] graphdarnell:
Quandary unsolved

Hello. Anyone? How about Mockba the Great? I'll do more than thank. I'll grovel at your feet (lol); or fly to your city vodka bottle in hand. Be compassionate and tell me something. Anything. Like my tablet is shot beyond salvage, so I can put it to rest. Why is it that I can flash EUU and use without problems but not any other upgrades? Is it possibly because of physical bad sectors lying in the path of data from the new roms (sizably larger than HC)? Or automatic remapping of NAND shot to hell? There's got to be some explanation.
[Acer Iconia A500] Danny2:
I am not sure, but, I have the same problem. If I flash the EUU (Acer stock 3.01) , I can spend a couple of hours following the upgrade path all the way to ICS 4.03, then it seems no matter the boot loader/recovery combo I flash, I either end up stuck in APX, or I get the new boot loader/recovery, and the original Rom boots fine, but when I try to flash using fast boot I end up with the android on his back with the red exclamation.

It may or not be related, but the very first time I tried flashing a new ROM, I ended up stuck in APX, & the only way I could find to get out was to use Badsector. The next Rom I flashed left me again in APX, so, the first thing I went back to was BadSector, & it would not work. (Can't remember what the error was, but it wouldn't get far before stopping.) So, I tried APXFlash & it worked perfect. (Before I ran BadSector the first time I could not get APXFlash to work at all.)

Now I can flash as often as I want, but still can't get anything to work right. (Except Stock stuff????)
[Acer Iconia A500] graphdarnell:
This is my guess: I was able to get someone with the right equipment to probe into the NAND and scan. The result shows random bad sectors all over the place. The scan lasted for more than a day without finishing, so eventually remapping could not be executed. If the capability of the NAND to remap is exhausted then depending on your luck, if the ROM data fits into good sectors, you get to use the unit. If the cache partition has black holes in it, you'll get errors and operational aberrations. If I'm right, then this is purely a hardware issue which will come back to haunt sooner or later. Makes sense?

Since the NAND is soldered onto the Main Board, there is little chance of replacing the NAND, if you can find one, that is. Darn it!
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
I had similar issue in the weekend, flashed Thor's JB romv17.....stuck on same screen as you, had a heck of a job getting things working again.....

So tdv4 installed without errors but wouldn't boot, is that correct? What screen did it get stuck at? With the earlier versions of timmydeans EUU u must boot straight to cwm and "fix permissions" in the "advanced" menu options (I think its in that option)

Other than that I can't offer u any further suggestions I'm afraid....
[Acer Iconia A500] graphdarnell:
Danke schoen dibb nz

This gives hope. With TD V4, it stops at power on - power lights on (white LED), but screen remains dark. Thanks for sharing your experience, I will definitely try when I get back to it at the end of the month. So if I'm slow in posting the outcomes, you know why. One more favor to ask: what do you do after fixing permissions while on earlier EUU (I remember seeing that option somewhere in the recovery menu)? Should I proceed to flash V4, then move up from there? If I install V8 Bootloader while on V4's ROM, would that hinder further flashings in any way? Many thanks again. And what is going on now with your JB ROM? And Happy Thanksgiving to all the Yanks in here!
[Acer Iconia A500] graphdarnell:
Thanks MD

Can't thank you enough MD, and dibb_nz too. Can't wait to get back to the tablet. Hopefully things will work out. When they do, I'll post the results for the perusal of similarly situated members.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Well after u fix permissions u boot straight back into cwmand flash the v8 and civatos cm 10 flex, which is exactly what I did after getting it up n running again. edit: no, u need the latest tdv4 - ...I'll post the link for it shortly....

I'd definitely uninstall the Acer drivers and reinstall them. When u connect to yr PC , windows will try to install the drivers....don't let it search windows updates, u have to be quick to cancel it....then it should install the drivers from the acer folder on yr PC which u just reinstalled....is that clear as mud, lol???

One more thought, u could get round all this driver business if u know linux at all....

But will w8 till u get a chance to spend some quality 'tab time':)
[Acer Iconia A500] Danny2:
So, this might seem kind of obvious, but I want to be sure. I found the Recovery-from-boot.p file easily enough, and I found a file called "Install-recovery.sh" in the etc folder, which seems to call another file called "system/bin/sh".

So, do I delete (or possibly just re-name??) "recovery-from-boot.p" and "Install-recovery.sh"? And do I need to do anything with the "SH" file in "system/bin"? (Like delete or re-name?)

Thanks for this much clearer (but still not 100% clear) info about these files. I had read mention of "recovery-from -boot.p" in another post, but it didn't make clear where to find it, just that you needed to deal with it. This excellent post makes it much more obvious which files & where to find!
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Just those 2 files

This will prevent overwriting your custom recovery on boot.

[Acer Iconia A500] Danny2:
OK, Thanks

Progress report

I was able to follow MD's instructions and installed Re-Flexxx Rom. As to dibb-nz's advice, I couldn't find earlier versions of TD (there was a link that led to some silly software instead - hijacked?). So I reflashed V4 which after the first reboot took me to the setup part fine. However, a second reboot resulted in a dark screen with nothing doing. I tried accessing recovery in vain. I'm not sure earlier TD versions would yield differently. If I recall correctly, V4 only differs from V3 in that TD added XP drivers. Why the tablet behaved thus is beyond me. I intended this superfluous info as a warning to such possibility, however absurd it might appear.

Anyway, thanks to those who came to the rescue, and Merry Xmas to all.
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
can u provide a link 2 the tdv4 u used i will check it.....seems couple folks having yr issue, i wanna make sure the zip isn't corrupt...

ALSO: there are 2 ways to use the EUU -

1) as an upgrade tool - used to upgrade from one HC build to the next - just open and run with usb connected and

2) as a downgrade too - used to downgrade from the ICS back to HC - you run it by not connecting your usb cable and force apx mode

Im curoius as to why folks are getting stuck with the black screen - this happened couple months back too

and tho i have been stuck with it myself - i have never been able to replicate the issue..and believe me when i say i've done some crazy things with my tab in the process of trying... so would like to rule out a bad file...just in case its me causing all the problems, lol....feedback would be appreciated....
[Acer Iconia A500] graphdarnell:
Possibly corrupt V4?

I'm almost sure I downloaded from the link provided in this thread, though I'd appreciate your not quoting me on it (lol). I remember downloading twice but cannot tell now which is which. Either way, I "upgraded" from HC 3.1 to 3.2, which is the version included in V4. Beyond that, I'm not sure what other information would help sort things out. Oddly enough, the first automatic reboot after flashing works fine and takes me through the whole setup process glitchlessly. It only happens on the following reboot. You can get into recovery 1.5, but fixing permissions won't :confused:do.
