[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] furlox:
Hi guys, its my first time trying to flash a phone, sure don't want to end up with a bricked device, so please bear with me!

I currently have Gingerbread 2.3.4. I've the attached firmware stuff. I kinda have an urge to 'upgrade'. I think that ICS and JB really look slick. (How can I not? Spent 2 years on stock GB!)

The ROM I've narrowed it down to, is http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1883038(latest version, v8) However, I need some clarification:

1. The camera seems to be work -if we install Camera Illusions Pro app- . Can anyone confirm this?

2. Is battery drain really that bad? The phone is going to be on standby for most of the day. Also, this issue only seems to be affecting a few people.

3. Are there any 'breaking' issues, such as 'pattern lock causing phone to crash'? Or 'random crashes'? Missing contacts? I'm scared when people report this sort of stuff but I don't think its going to really be a problem...

4. Is there tried/tested/100% foolproof method to revert to Gingerbread 2.3.x from AOKP v8? I really can't afford to brick this buddy right now... :p

5.

What's a TB? If CWM backups everything and helps to get back to GB, then I sort of get it... not clear here.

I've read around, I got a backup of my SD Card data, my contacts, etc. So, I guess its flash time. I plan to:

1. Download(ed) the ROM [aokp v8 by Ravi H Basawa.zip]. BTW, shoutout to you dude, you rock! :D

2. Download(ed) ClockWorkMod(assume that's what CWM stands for). I got a file called [beni_cwm-5_ext4_v2.tar] here.(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1505717)

Follow these to a 'T': (assuming its the same procedure for v8, I should hope it is! also, I hope the camera/audio patches are included in above files.)

Sorry for the wall of text there. Please help me correct possibly dumb mistakes! Thanks in advance!:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Harpratap:
yep..4.9 megapixel if you turn the HD mode on, keep the preview to lowest resolution or else it will lag.

Maybe, not as good as GB ones but if you don't use your phone much then its the same as in GB.

Go ahead..test out on your own. You can always revert back to GB anytime, SAFELY! (believe me, this device ain't gonna brick that easy..one of the sturdiest devices ever built by samsung :p )

TB=titanium backup (an app used to backup apps with data)

CWM will backup the whole ROM, you can't backup stock rom with it, you can't restore an individual app from your CWM backup, whole rom will be loaded into system.

Using TB you can save app with current status and install it back on your new rom hassle free. A must have if you switch roms too often or to save game data!

Read THIS guide first.

You need to have a rooted device with cwm5 installed and then proceed to install aokp8 :good:

Ok so i finaly got hold of a otg micro to female usb adapter, they should really give you one with the nexus.

updated to 4.2.1 this morning and now ive found plugging anything into the otg cable does nothing , usb stick, android phone, mp3 player,.. nothing.

was hoping to use an old android as a external hard drive/usb storage/micro sd reader

any idea's?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Groid:
Yes, as has been posted in countless threads, Stickmount will not work until it is updated to work with 4.2. Please do some reading. Someone posted that an app called 'Usb OTG Helper' does work after the update, but I don't have the update yet so I can't test. It also works under 4.1.2.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkuni:
Didn't work for me :(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] limpet:
I've tried OTG Helper, USB Mass Storage Watcher, and Stickmount after updating my Nexus 7 to 4.2.

They all behave the same...will mount and unmount the drive, but the folder reports no files.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chismay:
my friend i suggest you begin reading as none of my post mentions the app "stickmount" if you took the time to read my post instead of flagrantly firing off any old answer you would probably see i only just got the nexus and have no real clue as to how connect anything too it.... please dont pigeon hole the next guy so bad eh?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvmacd:
If you feel adventurous, you can try the ntfs-3g binary that makes OTG Helper work, and try to manually mount your drive.

First though adb/terminal emulate this command, 5 or + seconds [however long it takes to initialize the drive] after plugging it in through OTG:

ls /dev/block/sd?1

If it lists it, then you're good to go!

If however, you have more than 1 partition, you will need to change the 1 to a 2 [or 3, or 4] depending on the partitioning.

Download ntfs-3g compiled by shardul_seth, I pulled the binary and uploaded here: http://www.mediafire.com/?1z117pj3g57okab

with adb [or if you prefer, root browser]:

adb push ntfs-3g /system/xbin/
chmod +x /system/xbin/ntfs-3g

Now in adb/terminal:

su
mkdir /mnt/usbdisk
ntfs-3g /dev/block/sd?1 /storage/usbdisk

If you do not get an error, congratulations, your disk is now mounted!

To unmount,

su
umount /mnt/usbdisk

If you get an error saying device is busy, close file managers. If it still says device busy, type

su
pkill mediaserv

If it is still busy after that:

su
lsof | grep usbdisk

If any app has a file open on the disk it will show it here with its PID, and I think the name of it too. if you have the PID:

kill $PID

where $PID is the actual number.

If this works for you, and the other apps aren't updated for 4.2 soon, you can use Scripter to make mount and umount scripts to make it a little easier.

:victory: gl
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkuni:
Thanks. At least there is some work around. Next up? CIFS ....
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvmacd:
yeah actually I forgot and assumed the drive was NTFS :S

If it's fat32 or probably even ext2/3/4, instead of ntfs-3g binary, just use regular mount. :victory:

the reason for the ntfs-3g is because it supports R/W, instead of just R/O in the stock mount command. [ntfs-3g is the driver they use in Ubuntu and such for mounting windows ntfs drives]
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guhrasoh:
If you need the OTG only for media files Nexus Media Importer still works fine with 4.2, and doesn't even need root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] armus:
I've been trying to tether a tf700 to my S3's 4g connection while at my job for about two weeks now. The problem is after a little bit of time connected, the wifi tether will drop the tab. The connection on the tab will cycle between connecting, obtaining IP address and saved. I tried another device, a phone, to see if it was the S3 or the tab and it did the same thing, indicating a problem with the S3. Note: this issue has only come up when tethering at my job. I have not seen it happen at my house, though it may be possible.

I have tried several roms including stock, JellyWiz, CleanROM and others with the same result. I followed the procedure to return the phone to vzw warranty service as a way to wipe the phone and return it to stock settings. Running Foxfi, I still had the issue.

I got a warranty replacement S3 and have left it unrooted on stock (HE based rom). Using Foxfi I was able to tether successfully for hours. It's been nice. This leads me to think of two possibilities.

1. The wipe via Odin, relock, and OTA updates somehow still didn't fix the software issue on the old phone. This seems unlikely but I'm no expert. I would think Odin would clear everything but still the problem exists.

2. It's a hardware issue. This seems unlikely because my wifi works and I have not been able to duplicate this at my house. But there is no denying that the new device works great.

The big question is, can I root/flash on the new phone without fear of it winding up like the old one?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] armus:
The new phone and tab just had the same problem - unable to tether. This is a first but I rebooted both and it has cleared up. This seems to be a software issue but it's really stubborn.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] armus:
Samsung says it is a hardware issue. They are sending me my third phone. I hope this works or else I'm switching to another device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Using native tether locking lockscreen open fixes it. Settings >lockscreen>Screenlock>None. If have 15 toggle mod there is a lock toggle. Best is to use Android wifi tether that now works for TW JB roms.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1988735
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] armus:
Thanks for the reply. I tried it but unfortunately it only worked for about two minutes before falling into the fail loop. It should be mentioned that on the tab, I see the signal strength at full (since I'm three feet away) but when it's looping the signal drops to nothing on connect. I still have to think it may be a hardware issue.

I just hope phone #3 works as it should.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] armus:
So far so good. Got the new phone and it's tethering with foxfi just fine. Not rooted yet and probably won't for several days. I'm actually wondering if I can burn this one up and get them to send me a DNA.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dunderball:
Since I got the phone, I've been stock rooted/unlocked the entire time, and managed to disable OTA updates in fear of losing root and etc. Is anyone still on the original firmware and is there any good reason for me to upgrade?

I think the next OTA I'd probably take is if Jelly Bean comes out, and even then I'd most likely simply Odin-flash a stock rooted image whenever the time comes. Any advice on how to go about a possible Jelly Bean OTA from Verizon?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crabapples:
I still use LF2 and have seen zero good reasons to switch. I have a custom kernel and several customizations to things such as framework.res and such so I'm not exactly stock rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x714x:
Why not take the OTA then reroot/unlock? There are some minor changes in the menus and such and also the radio is a good reason to update. Much faster switching between 3g/4g and such, better signal strength. Or if you are running custom recovery you can just flash a updated radio. Also there is a thread floating around here with a customized updater that will keep root and your bootloader unlocked. As for the OTA to jelly bean you can just flash a jelly bean rom ontop of your F2 baseband.

Same, stock rooted since day one to change kernal, add wif tether and to use things like titanium back up. I use apex and SwiftKey. Everything works. No reason to break something...
[General Topics] trjcasper:
Need to buy a 7 inch tablet for my niece. First she wanted a kindle until I showed her my hacked Nook Color. Now she thinks she wants a Nook because of how much more my Nook can do VS a kindle. She doesn't even know about 7 inch tablets like the Nexus 7 being way more powerful than my pathetic old Nook.

I'm leaning toward a Nexus 7. The thing is, I want to get her a gift that's "cool", not by my standard but by the standard of the 12 year old snobby pukes she goes to school with. No sense in buying her a nexus if it won't get used because some snot nosed brat judged it uncool. If that's probable then I'll just get the stupid Nook HD or Tablet and be done with it. She wants it for "reading books."

Suggestions? $199 budget

Okay, So i have been searching high and low and have been unsuccessful in getting any kind of data on my phone after i flash any ROM. These are the following things i have tried in order to get data working.

Factory Reset

Flash Rom

Flash Rogers Modem (supposedly the same as telus and bell)

Reboot

Set APN's (tried manually inputting factory settings, and cleared and used default setting)

Set Network Operator (tried auto, and maually selected telus)

with no such luck? So im stumped. I have read that other Telus users have had success and are getting LTE and Data. So im wondering if i have overlooked something. Any Insight would be fantastic. I was mucking around on clean rom and man its snappy, smooth, and just plain fast. Just no Data.

There is no *Network Mode* option on the AT&T version of the rom, i think thats the issue.

I am curious if anyone has heard of this happening, on any phone, or on GN2?

I activated my new phone yesterday. It did not "take" for about 20 minutes, at which point my old phone was disabled, another 20 min or so til the new one started working. Fine, slightly inconvenient but no biggie. (that isn't the issue, just some history)

I received the welcome att free text...but then nothing. No calling, no texting, no net-no network at all. I waited a while longer, then I saw a 4g...then I received a couple texts. Cool. THEN it stopped working again. For a while calling/texting worked w/o data...then none of it...then it started working again. It was a very odd thing how it worked, didn't, worked, didn't, etc. I "chatted" with ATT at which point it began working again. Then...it didn't...again. I ended up driving to the att store over lunch where they suggested a bad sim card (even though it was new) and swapped me a new one. Worked. Problem solved? NOPE. Damn!

What I figured out is that when I connected to wifi at my workplace, the network stopped working altogether! After shutting off wifi, it took a good 10 min to come back. Maddening. I called customer service and they had no idea, even though the dude was very personable & tried to help. ANOTHER trip to the att store after work...where they looked at me as if I had 3 heads, at this point...!

The girl who waited on me did a factory reset, and that SEEMS to have fixed the problem. What I wanted to do is an exchange, but they had none in stock (plus I didn't have my box with me.) She explained they don't know much about GN2 yet as it is very new, etc. Great. Thank you, Cap't Obvious!

Has ANYONE heard of this happening? Is it defective? Was there some setting somewhere that got changed? I really didn't think I goofed it up changing things but.... ATT dude #2 via phone suggested perhaps some sort of "do not disturb" setting while wifi is on? I have never heard of that and he was just reaching for straws I know, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

I was so excited about my new phone then this frustrating network thing happened! Even though I received it Friday I waited to activate it til Tuesday when my CASE arrived. I've been such a patient little girl (lol) so needless to say I've not been a happy camper. (ps all this was on my birthday yesterday, to boot! Go fig lmao)

[Nokia Lumia 920] nikufellow:
So this is what the verge has to say :

"video capture as well, with the

camera sometimes tinting the entire scene into a new palette as it determines a new color balance.

A legitimate criticism of Nokia’s 808 PureView camera is that while it can take amazing shots, it really requires the hands of a very knowledgeable user to

pull them off. That same complaint applies to the Lumia 920’s camera as well. To most eyes, the images look a little washed out and don’t "pop," with not enough warm tones. A studied pro might say that they’re more accurate and true to life, but the vast majority of smartphone users don’t want to

think about the nuances of optical imaging stabilization, they just want to take photos."

Can somebody preferably some who've spent some quality time with 920 comment on this please !really need to know whether this was bias from verge or is it true that for an average vagabond 920 camera is too professional !

Thanks in advance .

[Nokia Lumia 920] Slai:
Only thing Ive heard is that the camera is great, and some say its not too good in daylight, but that it is known to Nokia and its a SW issue that theyre working on as we speak.

EVERY single review Ive read have said the camera is fantastic, and this is going by normal standards, not professional photographer standards.
[Nokia Lumia 920] nikufellow:
Yup thanks for the reply :)

I still have my doubts after reading that verge review ! Am not a pro user either
[Nokia Lumia 920] Slai:
Most phone cameras take pictures that looks very "meh" until you do some slight editing. Like just upping saturation and contrast by like 15-20%, and cropping them if youre feeling like a daredevil. Even the N8s pictures, and it has a great camera.

I wouldnt worry about it at all, but if it helps just go read more reviews on the phone and see what others have to say about it.

Again; that software issue with pictures not being crisp enough is known and is being worked on as we speak.
