[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spir4:
Hello,

Every couple of days my Galaxy S3 informs me about the Jellybean firmware update. The first time I installed it, phone rebooted, after rebooting a blanc window appeared on the screen where my only option was to press OK. The title of the windows was Firmware Update.

After 3 days (or so), the phone informs me again about the same firmware update. If I ignore it, it stays on there. If I do the update again, the same routine happens.

But the update never actually gets installed.

My phone is rooted, but that's it. No custom ROMs or anything.

What to do?

Thanks.

As per search and thousands of identical posts .

Root has prevented OTA use Kies or flash stock rom via ODIN .

I searched, didn't find anything. Probably with the wrong search phrase then.

Kies doesn't work either, it hangs after downloading the ROM.

Hi all,

would someone else be interested in a OC/UV-enabled version of arco's kernel for CM9?

I know there are already some out, but they seem to contain tons of other modifications - as a result, they all run very unstable.

As far as i now, OC/UV support can be enabled relatively simple, by adding entry to the frequency and voltage tables. When i remember right, those are hardcoded directly in the kernel.

So this would combine the stability of arco's kernel with the possibility to overclock/undervolt, if needed.

Thanks for any comments or suggestions, maybe some has already some experience (and interest)in this area and could work on this.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] hadidjapri:
if i'm not mistaken (almost) all of kernel present in this dev section based on arco's source, so if there's something that make the kernel unstable it is maybe caused by the tweak made by the kernel builder not sources itself (assuming u are talking about 2.6 kernel)

kindly correct me if im wrong :)

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] coliv_aja:
you'r right,

oc/uv it's not simple just adjusting the clock and tables. it will affect to other part. so other tweaks is required.

if you want try to compile you own mod, you can grab arco's kernel from his git.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
I strong suggest trying out CastagnaIT Kernel. It's very stable, and the additions he had done all make sense.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] vetusa2:
i have tried all kernels versions with a very attention to every small detail inside all of them.... they all suck except V1 by forfivo .....i really respect him because of the smooth and stability of V1

he even included

V1 with a minimum 122mhz frequency as an under voltage extra option in the CPU frequency section which of course saves the battery's life ,and i wonder why he didn't go for add the 66mhz too!

so i give him A :good:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] UltimHero:
First off its not called under voltage its called underclocking the CPU frequency.

second , the reason why u dont see kernels with min freq of 61 MHz is because for running stuff like music u need a min of 122mhz to play smoothly.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] hadidjapri:
i think the main thing that OC/UV affect is the hardware. basically you are degrading your hardware's life span by doing OC, considering UV if your hardware can't sustain very low voltage then you will get some weird reboot

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaylanPHNX:
Don't use an app killer, they do more harm than good. Set apps like email and Facebook or Twitter to check for status updates/emails less often. Give the phone a few cycles from 100% to almost 0% and back to 100%. It should get better over time.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcalderone:
I recently upgraded my Nexus 7 and saw this in the "What's New" section:

I immediately went to Amazon and looked for different "wireless display adapters" per the announcement above, but I'm totally in the dark to which are going to be compatible with the Nexus 7. Does anyone have a recommendation?

Also, will I be able to connect to my Wi-Fi and still have an internet connection? I'm assuming I will be able to and it's more like they're all networked together (Computer, Display Adapter, Nexus 7, etc.), correct?

Lastly, I don't believe I noticed a new app on my phone to facilitate the connection once the Wireless Display Adapter is purchased and connected; am I missing something?

Thanks in advance for all of your help, you guys are the best!

If there's a will there's a way

I have scoured the internet for days and days trying to find the solution to not having hdmi capability and hopefully I'm on the right path.

Any of you more intelligent people have any comments, sounds like a 100 dollar solution. Thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raudi1:
That's not screen mirroring. It's just DLNA/UPNP. And there are better and cheaper solutions. First look if your TV already supports DLNA/UPNP. If not, get yourself a raspberry pi and install raspbmc, openelec or any other distro that gives you XBMC. Then just enable it in the XBMC settings and get yourself a xbmc remote and a UPNP/DLNA app like bubbleupnp. That way you can even watch nearly any media you want on your big screen including avi(enable unsupportet mime types in bubbleupnp settings) and youtube videos(in the youtube app just press share and then share it via your xbmc remote).

But it is still no screen mirroring like miracast. I still have hope for miracast on the n7, since MIRACAST DOES NOT NEED 802.11a it is only optional for better performance in some situations.

And if that doesn't work, there is always the amazing open source community. Android Transporter just needs to be implemented into Cyanogenmod and given sound support and we don't need to wait for the big players to implement miracast on our n7.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] panchokoster:
Hi,

sometimes while flashing a rom we get status error 7, it happens when you wipe the system partition and then you turn off the phone, because some installers check the device info stored in build.prop, before flashing the rom, people often suggests flashing the stock rom and then flashing the custom rom when they are facing this error, however it's a slow process, i have prepared some flashable zip files, containing only the build.prop file, since it is the only file needed to fix the error, not the whole stock rom. i have ripped the files from their corresponding FXP releases.

To fix the error quickly you need to follow the next steps:

1. Download and flash the corresponding build.prop for your device

* smultron_st15.zip

* satsuma_st17.zip

* mango_sk17.zip

* coconut_wt19.zip

2. Shutdown the phone and boot into recovery (a must do!)

3. Flash your custom rom :)

Just flash the one made for your device, remember that after flashing you must shutdown the device and boot into cwm again so it read the values at boot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zBusterCB87:
Hello everyone,

I received a UNIDEN 7" tablet as a gift. 512 ram, 1ghz cup.

This is running android 4.0.4

I am unable to get the google play app store application to install on this device.

Or just the android market itself.

Does anyone have ny idea as to the correct apk file to install so I can start downloading applications?

I have looked at every installed application and there is no app store installed at all.

I have been searching online and trying different things, I can not seem to find any answers and can not seem to fin an app store apk that works...

Thank you for the help y'all :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powerfries:
You need to use one of the available app markets on the tablet. The Google play store is not compatible with the device. If you use your browser app, you should come to a Uniden device help menu. Their compatible app markets will under downloads, I believe.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zBusterCB87:
Thats sad to hear google play is not compatible with the device.

You would think that because it is an "Android" tablet, that it would be able to run the google play app, if I can find where to get it.

I did find the app store selection icon, it was almost so well hidden that it almost did not exist. I have an app store that interfaces with google play market, but unfortunately I can't buy any apps, it does not interface with the google play purchase system. I can only download free & trial apps...fail

Now I'm just working on finding how to root this thing. I'm hoping a generic android 4.0.4 root will work, hopefully it won't be device specific...lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powerfries:
I don't think there is a stable way to root those. I had mine for an hour before I took it back. I couldn't find any root methods or aftermarket firmware support for it. I quickly lost interest in looking any further when I couldn't find anything on cyanogenmod's forums or xda's.

I just looked on Uniden's website and they don't even have that tablet advertised. I wish I could have been more help.

If you are talking about a UTAB71 mine was rooted out of the box

I followed the directions here: the-digital-reader.com/2012/04/07/how-to-install-google-apps-gplay-etc-on-polaroi-pmid701

then installed superSU and ES File Explorer and removed the old market place apx and added the phonesky apk in /system/app

play store seems to be working, but i haven't purchased anything from it yet, free downloads work in either the new or old versions
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powerfries:
Does it function any better?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blanders:
None of those things make the tablet work better overall, but following the directions from the link leave you with an older version of market that does not fully work.

Replacing that as I described seems to give a working current version. Still havent had need to buy something, but I did trigger installs from the play site and other than not waking the device automaticly that worked correctly as well.

For a $60 piece of hardware I don't think it does too bad. Lags here and there, but plays some of the games my older phones seem to choke on quite well.

ok I found how to access the vendor apk with root explorer but I cannot figure out how to replace the file with the phonesky apk
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blanders:
Mine didn't have a phonesky apk. I D/L the latest play apk I could find on here and renamed it before placing it in the directory then rebooted. If yours has one I believe you might have to rename it first but I don't know for certian.

If I remember correctly this only worked for me after installing the old market apk as described in the link I posted then uninstalling the old market from applications.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zBusterCB87:
Every time I try its built in system update feature, it crashes and says system fail or whatever.

I found it is rooted with the root checker app and using terminal IDE and typing SU it shows the # sign...

I'm trying to make superuser work, it does not seem to "request superuser permissions" when a root required app runs, the app will crash.

Still working on getting this thing to work how we want it to work. :D

PS: If I can get it to run good and maybe overclock, I might either upgrade android and maybe even install Ubuntu as well, or just scrap all of it and install windows 8, havent decided and looking into it much other than it can be done with some tablets; as far as our tablets, idk. lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] affiatic:
i will try again later when I get some time. The old market does work just a bit buggy. do I just delete the market apk in the system apps and then past the new apk there uninstall market and reboot? I have tried this all exept rebooting before first opening play. when it installs new play opens and crashes. Not sure if I am replacing the file corectly as it has been a while since I have done anything like that. a recovery would be awesome. I wish I knew more about since I dont have to wory about breaking cause I can take it back still

---------- Post added at 12:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 AM ----------

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zBusterCB87:
I've given up on google play, I had it work a few times but it was so bugged up and laggy/crashing that it just wasn't worth it. I went and got a Mobile1Market app or whatever it is called...

I tried so many ways of making google play work, its unbelievable, I even tried modifying the akp file, which totally never worked except 1 time when it opened then nothing happened...

You would think that because its android, it should just work, but I guess that things are just too messed up for a reasonable sense of compatibility on android tablets...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrickjaden:
You should take yours back to the store if it's giving you that many issues. I tried to manually add the play apk but it never opened, then I saw this thread and followed the directions in the third post and I now have the most current working version of Play.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] affiatic:
as always use at own risk I am not responsible for damage etc etc....

here is the market link I used http : / / db.tt/qSnXMWyJ

" http : / / db.tt/SjwfVfUB is the link to root,u need to extract the files and u need to open it up after extracted and look for the "runme.bat" and double click it,look over what it is saying to you and when u are done doing all of the things u hit enter it will do its thing and it may reboot once or twice but when all done it will be rooted "

I don't think you need the second link. It is for root. This is not my work just sharing. It is from a forum on a klu lt7033 tablet. I needed to root it and install market and then I tried the manual install method that is included in the directions and it worked for the uniden as well. you will need root explorer or something along those lines. this has more than just market. don,t know if it is full gapps but includes about 19 apps. I would install them all and afterwords take out what you dont want. just remember after you place the files where they go do not install them just reboot then all should be there. I have only used the playstore and have not checked to see if the other apps run (maps, youtube, google talk......)

enjoy and good luck

I first uninstalled the garbage Amazon marketplace that kept freezing up from the get it go. I would suggest uninstalling any market app you are using before doing this.

1. Download this ZIP file to your computer.

2. Open the Zip file on your computer and copy the contents to a folder on your Polaroid/Uniden tablet via a USB cable. Then unplug your tablet.

3. Once you’ve done that, open the file manager on your tablet and go to the folder where you put the files. Try to install the following apps in this order (double click on the files in order to run them):

OneTimeInitializer-signed.apk

SetupWizard.apk

vending-3.1.3-signed.apk

As a 4th step you might want to press the home button, select the checkmark which says “open always with”, and then select Launcher. This will guarantee that whenever you press the home button you will see the home screen and not be prompted with a menu.

I wanted to change the way my phone starts with that white splash screen and change it to the black htc screen. has anyone done that and please post a link if you done it. thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Do a search in the themes forum. The splash screen you want is in there somewhere, plus a few hundred other ones.
[HTC Sensation] Raven2k:
There are actually 3 things which has a default white back, and could (should?) be black..

The first is the splash (static) screen, which is actually on a different partition than the system/data etc.

The 2nd is boot-animation which appears after the splash when the phone is booted

The 3rd is down-animation, appearing when the phone goes to a reboot/shutdown.

Please find the 3 attached files for each - keep in mind that the splash is a flashable zip which needs to be flashed via 4Ext,

The bootanimation and downanimation zips should replace existing files on your rom - different roms have these in different locations, but AFAIK always somewhere in /system - root is needed.

Nandroid is your friend - always create a backup first!
[HTC Sensation] chopt51:
Thanks for the splash. I'm happy the white one is gone. Do you know where there is any more? I like this one a lot though. I just wanted to see what else there is.
[HTC Sensation] Raven2k:
Sorry, dunno...

I stopped searching after these were found.. I'm sure there are many more :)
[HTC Sensation] peterkilleen:
Hey, this is really great. However I'm a bit of a noob and just flashed a new ROM and now looking to flash this splash screen. I flashed the zip file, but unaware what to do with the other 2 zip files. I found a 'bootanimation' file within \system\bin but no downanimation file. Also I know these zip files contain many images not just a single file type. I'd really appreciate if you could advise on this. Is this splashscreen also silent? As after the flash I have no noise, but still the annoying white display ;)

---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------

Ok so I got the splash screen working. It had to be stored in system/customize/resource. I still however have no sound on start up. Also, initially turning on the phone still gives me the white with green HTC without quietly briliant before then giving the black boot splash screen... Confusing :S
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
in order to change the splash screen you have to be on S-OFF.are you on S-OFF?

also when you put the new bootanimation.zip in system/customize/resource did you change the permissions?
[HTC Sensation] peterkilleen:
Hey thanks for the reply. I'm not S-OFF but I use 4EXT with SmartFlash enabled to overcome this. I was able now to get the black splash screen working, however prior to this bootanimation I still have a white background with green HTC. I think it's like a BIOS screen maybe? How can I get this changed also?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
to change that you have to S-OFF first

then you change it
[HTC Sensation] peterkilleen:
Cheers for the advice

Cool, so S-OFF then reflash the flashable_Splashscreen zip file?
