On the G2x, holding Vol Up + Power does the trick, HOWEVER, there have been times when my phone has froze and that did not reboot my device and I still had to pull my battery...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryukeima:
Ummm, I wouldn't make that kind of suggestion to the people around here haha. The battery is NOT meant to be removed. Can it be? Yes. Should it be? No. Especially not for a reset. You risk damaging some things or wearing down the spring antennae connectors if you are constantly opening it up just to unhitch the battery. I think it is glued in anyways.

Holding the power button on my GS2 always restarts it even if it is stuck in a bootloop. I assume this phone will work the same way.

Hi all recently flashed my HTC to android rev hd but if I go to phone settings and then to about phone the option to check for updates has gone. Only wanted it to see if there is a legit update from HTC to jellybean 4.1. Hope some one can explain why its not an option anymore.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] spiffymonkey:
So recently I rooted my phone to ICS, using an AT&T leak. I flashed it, and all has been working until now. I tried to boot into download mode, and it won't work. I have tried many various tutorials to try and get it into download mode (For reference, I want to boot into download mode because I plan on using dman's cyanogenmod 10 glide release, and wanted to make sure all was working before I rooted again). So, knowing that something was wrong, I tried using various programs and apps to attempt to uninstall the current ICS ROM. However, all apps that I tried claim that I'm not rooted. I've done a few factory resets, and I made sure to check that my 'About Phone' settings did in fact say I was on 4.0.4. I know it is the leak, because the baseband clearly says I'm on I927UCLG9. Would be willing to upload any screenshots if necessary. Can anyone help me figure out what could be wrong? Would it be possible to simply wait for the official ICS update from AT&T, or would I have to unroot to do so? The main problem for me is that everything says I'm not rooted in any way, yet I know I clearly am. Sorry to be a complete idiot, just began rooting, and didn't think I would run into problems based on the replies to the original forum.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
Just because you flashed the AT&T leak does not give you ROOT. you need to get root in 1 of 2 ways.

1. VIA CWM Install the Super User package.

2. VIA CWM install a Rooted ICS Kernel (Like Lite Kernel).

Both methods listed require CWM (Clock Work Mod) which you need to install via ODIN in PDA mode.

If you can find it you can also via Odin install a Rooted ICS Kernel (Not same file as used in CWM).

I feel for you man! At work we have to put up with the worst equipment paid for with ginormous amounts of money.

At my work, the technical coordinator bought a Smartboard, which is a giant touchscreen with a few software extras. It is about a 70" inch screen and has been introduced as the more expensive top model. Naturally, I brought some equipment to take it through a test drive - an hdmi adapter for my Galaxy S3 and some 1080p trailers.

Then came realisation - not only do they connect it via VGA to the presentation pc, it only supports 1366 * 768 max resolution (the S3 would happily output 1080p if supported). Piece Of Crap Deluxe. At least they extended a HDMI cable to where the PC stands, but it doesn't have a suitable graphics adapter. Will still look crappy anway when they eventually upgrade that one. :crying:

Hi I've been searching and searching, but haven't found any answers for my noobie woes!

I have SGS3 Korean model SHVE-210S:

First time attempting to root the phone and kinda jumped into it more quickly than I should have. I assumed I would be using MSkip's Samsung Galaxy S3 Intl Toolkit V6.0. I followed the directions very closely and everything went fine up until I attempted the Rooting Options #3 All in One. When the phone was powered up again, the USB drivers were not recognized. I had my phone debugged prior to shutdown

I've tried all options suggested in the forums- un-install, reboot, re-install / re-installing Kies / uninstalling USB devices via Windows 7 / etc etc.

Currently my phone just powers up to the Galaxy logo. thats it.

Wondering if my problem is that the Intl Toolkit is not the proper method for Korean models. And if not, have I just bricked it? Please help!!!
[General Questions and Answers] maximumkuo:
ALLINONE Rooting: Auto Reboot, then Device Unknown

Just a bit more detail to this problem:

It was during the #3, ALLINONE Rooting process when, after flashing the PDA file & Auto Reboot was selected, my phone reboots but the device drivers are no longer recognized, device unknown.

So I think I soft bricked it, trying to restore factory drivers via Odin, with help and advice from member M@31. Problem is I didn't make a backup. Does anyone know if during the ALLINONE flash, backup files are made?

Anyhow, I will keep posting and talking to myself if need be. Hopefully this stumbling about will be helpful to someone in the future.

Anyone have a recommendation for an anti-glare screen protector? I've been using Clarivue with my G2x and have been pretty satisfied -- not too much image degradation, about as good diffusion of reflections as I've seen, and a nice smooth-papery feel. They don't have a Nexus 4 model yet, of course, but I figure I'll either wait a couple of weeks for them to get one or use their cut-to-order service unless I hear of something that seems definitively better.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmm:
Yeah, I'd be happier without, too, but I spend a fair amount of time with my phone in a car mount, and it's just useless in the daytime if all I can see is reflections off the face of the screen. An antiglare protector doesn't eliminate the reflections, but it does make them much more manageable.

The other thing is that I like the slight bit of texture a matte protector gives to the screen. If my finger is slightly damp from perspiration or whatever, it has a tendency to grab and skip on a bare glass screen, but with a matte protector, it's a much smoother experience, like a nice smooth paper.

As I said, I had good experiences with the Clarivue on my G2x, so I'll probably give them another try.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estugarda:
Today I got myself a new SGS2 i9100 in a good deal. It came with ICS 4.0.3 out of the box. There was a noticeable lag, and the UI itself seemed a bit sluggish. That didn't surprise me, since this usually happens on bloatware loaded stock roms. So I installed latest CM9, and to my suprise it didnt got any faster. Wake up lag from standby is maybe even worse. I'm really disappointed with the overall speed and UI (un)smoothness. I also have a HTC HD2 with CM7, and it runs way faster, even though it wasn't supposed to be an Android device, and is considerably weaker hardware-wise. Not only is the wake up lag less, but also apps loading are generally faster on HD2. The only situation where SGS2 is faster is booting up, which is really fast.

Is this specific to ICS?

Would going back to GB (CM7) speed up things?

Note: There is nothing in ICS that I really need, so I would go to CM7 if it was any faster.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginsOfLewis:
Cheers for the title now The Clash are in my head!

So, let me get this down straight; you are saying ICS should be faster than GB, right!?

If so, I'll try full wipe and stock back. What's with the kernel? Prior to flashing CM9 I put in a custom kernel.

If that doesn't help, I'm getting rid of it. I also hate the blueish tint on bright colors. It's really bad. What's the point in perfect black, if all other colors are inaccurate.

I installed the stock 4.0.3. It's not faster. However I compared it to my friend's SGS2 with the same setup, and his isn't faster either. I think this is as good as it gets. Quite slow when compared with HTC HD2 on CM7. Where did that additional core, 200MHz and all the RAM go? All wasted... I expected more from the camera, and I really hate the color management with those greenish and blueish whites on lower brightness. This phone is quite a dissapointment.

Original post by googy_anas so many thanks to him.

To all of i9100 users having flashed the latest 4.0.4 firmware (Official / Leaked) with stock kernel, PLEASE BE AWARE that using cwm to erase data/factory reset OR to restore a nandroid backup MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE !!!! Trust me, I just got mine bricked and by searching a litlle bit I discovered I'm not the only one -> see here and here ... and the number is growing ...

Actually confirmed firmwares having the emmc bug :

XXLQ5/6/7/B - ZCLPL - XWLPM/O/T/U - MUGLD3‎(?)

Here's how to BRICK your phone :

-Flash the 4.0.4 firmware with/without its pit file

-Use any 4.0.4 based kernel - stock or modified (ex cf-root)

-Go to cwm and do a wipe data & wipe cache and/or perform a nandroid restore of any previous firmware

=> The process begins normally but it may/will switch off at any time without waking up ever again !!!!!

Symptoms of 4.0.4 HARDBRICK :

-Phone dead

-No power up

-No boot

-No download mode (odin mode)

-No charging (usb/ac)

-Not detectable by pc / jtag

-Usb jig & jtag useless

-With battery(charged) inserted, phone(off) gets hot near the camera lens

-JUST A PIECE OF PLASTIC !!!!

-You feel really stupid about trying all this new stuff

And now here's how to avoid 4.0.4 hardbrick :

-DO NOT flash any stock 4.0.4 firmware ￼

-If on 4.0.4 stock firmware, keep away from stock kernel (ex: use siyah kernel or latest speedmod)

-Use "eMMC Brickbug Check" app to verify whether you have an insane ship or not

-Backup your apps (titanium backup) and backup all (cwm) and copy all data from internal sdcard

-DO NOT wipe any partition or data

-Flash any official 4.0.3 stock firmware in download mode via odin (do not use mobile odin)

-Do not get tempted again by any unsafe leaked or official firmware !!!

Downgrade from 4.0.4 :

-Reboot the phone in download mode (Home+Vol.Down+Power)

-Use Odin to flash a safe kernel (ex. siyah) then reboot to cwm (Home+Vol.Up+Power)

-Optionally do a nandroid backup then perform a data wipe/factory reset

-Use advanced menu in cwm to reboot in download mode to flash your preferred "safe" firmware

While waiting for someone to find a way to revive such bricked phones, I hope you guys take care of your precious S2, you only know its value when it's gone ￼
