[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 000207704:
I have a samsung galaxy S from T-mobile, It became unresponsive and it started for no reason.

It is a locked , never rooted no firmware or software updated ever. Just had some Apps from marketplace though no new apps recently.

this is what happened. I left it for charging and the battery was dry. i gotta a call, so disconnected a/c charging and I could not swipe answer button and the phone kinda went to freeze, then screen went black. I took the phone connected for charging and after some time tried to hit power button , it starts the flash logo and t-mobile logo screen and then to the home screen which was black except for some icons in the top toolbar.

so i started again and went on like 4 times and i gotta screen like ( i think downloading screen ) . thats it . THe phone never charged or started again, I tried 3 button combos and all the basic recovery steps for this and not worked. I have been hunting for answer last couple of days before deciding to write my own thread. I am now convinced my phone is fully bricked , what should i do now?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
So you think your bricked... Well good thing is your not bricked.

The information you gave us is not very clear.

I would take a guess and I would say its the battery. Replace the battery with a new one.
[HTC Droid DNA] joel4832:
DNA on wirefly $150 with new/renew contract. I think there's prob a set up fee but it may be the cheapest place to grab one for now.

It's tempting....
[HTC Droid DNA] BigMace23:
Its definitely a great price,but make sure you read the fine print before pulling the trigger... a lot of these sites that cheaper than normal prices make a lot of their money by charging customers extra for breaking terms they weren't aware of when they purchased the phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] nkd:
I just bought mine, after doing some research. Their fine print has a lot of "might" in it. I talk to someone at verizon and he said as long as you don't cancel the line or downgrade your service you should be fine. Most of the crap about verizon notifying them if you put another phone on the line or swap the phone with different phone on the account "might" cause verizon to notify them that the line was deactivated is just "might happen crap". I think they are just trying the customer to not mess with anything to maximize their commission, which I have no problem with, but from that I have learned verizon will never notify them that the line was deactivated unless it is actually deactivated.

Hi Experts.

I recently got a HTC One X, it is the UK Orange version, and i live and use it in India.

android ver - 4.04

sense - 4.1

softwre no - 2.17.61.3

htc sdk api - 4.23

kernel - 2.6.39.4

i had installed a custom rom to my Incredible S couple of months back.

and with a lot of courage, i have Rooted my brand new HOX :cowboy:

now.. i really like to know -

1 - which stock like Rom do you experts suggest for my model ( shouldnt be much different from stock, but faster, with mods & without bloatware & Latest)

2 - should i also flash my radio? How? which one?

Any other mods that you suggest for better battery management, faster.

please .. i know that similar questns are asked, but this is more specific.

Post links, and that would suffice :o

waiting desperately
[HTC One X] niftycalls:
someone?? anyone?? plz help....
[HTC One X] XxJibblesxX:
I would recommend the viperX Rom to you from team venom. It's great. Probably the best Rom in the way of tweaks. Download that then do the OTA updates. I also like to recommend the bricked kernel as it has a swipe to wake option and with vipers tweaks you can easily overclock and change frequencies :) the best ics in my opinion
[HTC One X] niftycalls:
reading the forums i just learnt tht since i have a quadcore processor, it is an international version, and not AT&T or anythng else.

can someone give me the link to the correct forum, so that i can look, check and install anythng tht i want :laugh: without bricking my phone?
[HTC One X] anks257:
I would agree.. ViperX rom is one of the best sense based ROMs out there. There is loads of customisation options.

Also another great ROM would be AndroidRevolution HD.

AndroidRevolution HD --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1562603

[HTC One X] kreindler:
Give a try to latest insertcoin rom (13).

Furthermore if u want:

In a fileexplorer (es explorer or solid explorer) go to root folder -system-apps and delete unneeded apps with caution (u need to know what u are doing). If u want i can create a minimized version of it 4 u and upload it... (whithout medialink, htc location, video editor, stock wallpapers, without live wallpapers and all that crap - at least i like it without them). Then u'll get a perfectly sleak rom.

I tried maximus rom, venom, renovate, revolution HD...

Believe me, this one is the smoothest around...

So long story short, let me know if you want my lighter version of insertcoin.

hey kreindler, it says insertcoin JB, but mine is ICS, can i still update it safely??:o
[HTC One X] matt95:
what's your CID? to use JB roms you need the 1.31/1.33 HBOOT
[HTC One X] niftycalls:

[HTC One X] matt95:
your phone is branded and you can't install JB Sense roms
[HTC One X] niftycalls:
ok.. so which other roms can i install?? since i am rooted, will i get the OTA updates for JB??

else how do i ever upgrade to JB??
[HTC One X] matt95:
when you carrier will release the JB update then you will be able to flash JB roms, at the moment you can only install ICS roms
[HTC One X] niftycalls:
ok ... thanks.. so now what i understand is...when Orange releases JB, i still wont get the OTA coz i am rooted, but i will be able to Flash JB Roms then.

as of now i can flash any of the ICS roms from this forum.

any roms? do i need to worry about anythng else if i m installing for ex: a viper or rev HD
[HTC One X] matt95:
yes that's right, you can install every ICS rom ;)
[HTC One X] niftycalls:
haha thnks a lot buddy matt95 for being precise.... now i will know whom to blame if a poor man's phone gets bricked ;)

back with my questns... experts.... i am reading a lot of stuff in the forums about flashing without correct CID blah blah...

with my phone specs.. can i really flash any ICS roms from the forum, or anythng specific tht i need to keep in mind???

please....
[HTC One X] matt95:
you can flash any ICS rom that you want, remember also to flash the boot.img file included in the rom
[HTC One X] stebsgb1:
You need the correct CID when flashing a new Hboot (firmware). To use the JB custom roms you need the JB Hboot, as it stands you'll be ok flashing any ICS rom.

[Continuum General] roaddog665:
Just had this issue start a few days ago. Anytime the music player goes to the ticker view it also gets put in the notification screen, right? And when you completely exit the music player, it should go out in the notification screen. Well, not so much for me. Lol... The music player will stay in the notification until a reboot, even if I go to running services and force stop the music player service. In logcat it is constantly updating the ticker music view, even if the player is not running. Anyone else have this?
[Continuum General] Jaggar345:
I haven't noticed thus when I used the stock player but since then I bought the amp called power amp which is a huge improvement in terms of everything including sound quality so downloading another music player is an option if it bothers you
[Continuum General] roaddog665:
Not a big bother, other than its something constantly running in the background... But as often as I reboot shouldn't be a big deal. Besides, I'd miss the ticker music view. Just wondered if anyone else had it happen.
[Continuum General] Jaggar345:
Yeah i dont have the ticker with power amp but I set it to be accessible from the lockscreen so I just hit the power button and can control my music, worst comes to worst if the problem bothers you that much its worth a try.
[Continuum General] Jaggar345:
Also I checked to see if my stock music player did that and mine does not. So it could be the possibility that a mod is causing it and it's not the gingerbread rom. Also I have beats audio flashed so that could be another reason mine doesn't do it (most likely not). I would say it's most likely a mod
[Samsung Mesmerize] kilrain:
recently flashed 2 mesmerizes onto verizon, everything works with the exception of 1x and 3g constantly switching back and forth. I can get it on 3g, start a download/speedtest and sometime it will stay, usually switches back to 1x.

obviously i want 3g to work, one time I tried the ADW fix and it didnt work, tried forcing 3g and it went to roaming ;/

Stock, rooted Touchwiz ICS. I follower the directions on XDA regarding changing the build.prop, flashing that lib fix, and flashing the fixed Wallet app, and the app seems to work well on the phone. However, I've been to several Jamba Juices, McDonalds', and 7-11s, and all had the green light at the PayPass terminals.

Can anyone help here? If worst comes to worst, can I just uninstall Wallet and then try to reinstall from scratch?

I had the same problem as you when I tried the hack and never got any help or answers because people decided it would be more fun to insult me and the other user who was having problems and say we didn't know how to use it. Like its that damned difficult.

Maybe someone will chime in and help because I've had this problem since I owned the phone. NFC works perfectly fine with everything but paying for stuff.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shangrila500:
Me too, I would really like to be able to use GW because I leave the house without my wallet, on accident, all the time but never leave my phone so this would be very very handy for when I get to the store and realize I left my wallet.

When I had this problem I reset GW and uninstalled it, so I didn't mess up my secure element by flashing a different Rom without resetting it, and then I flashed a different ROM. I was on stock, rooted, and unlocked VRALG1 and after my initial failure I flashed ParanoidAndroid 2.13, it was quite a while ago when I messed with GW, and was met with failure yet again. Over the course of the next few days I decided to flash every single ROM and couldn't get any GW love on any of then.

Thank god I have a friend that works at the gas station and didn't mind me trying it so frequently. Also I tried most of the ROMs in other stores in my city and none worked.

Gotcha. Speaking of uninstalling, what do I need to do to uninstall it correctly so that I don't screw up anything in case I would like to attempt to use it again in the future?

Hi, was wondering if I could have some help making the pull down notification menu semi transparent (50%) and the status bar or maybe some advice on how to do it and which files I need to edit. Yes I know other roms already to it, but none really to my liking. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

The status bar is transparent stock. You should ask in the thread where they have the dropdowntrans, might have better luck that way.

I have set USB debugging, and unknown source, and also turned off Asus sync.

I have also used the SU Update fixer, which states.

[Nexus 7 General] iamelton:
When an OTA update becomes available, there is a recurrent notification prompting to upgrade.

The below method tricks the OS into thinking that it is already at the latest version, in effect stopping the update notification from appearing.

I am not responsible for anything you do with your device.

Pre-requisite

Device must be

rooted

Steps

Download FOTAKill apk

Put the apk in "/system/app"

Set proper file permissions (644, or rw-r--r--) for the apk

Clear "/cache" (e.g. boot into CWM and clear cache)

Reboot

Check "Settings > About tablet > System updates" and it should show "up to date" now.

Note that after rebooting there may still be a notification to update, after clearing no further notification will appear.

Rollback

To re-enable OTA update notification, delete the apk and reboot!
[Nexus 7 General] wilx:
Thanks,worked great, I didn't even need to clear the cache. On reboot, it said updating.... I panicked for a second, but it only reported for a coupe of seconds, then once booted, it said update available. I cleared the message and now the update has gone! In about phone - system update it reports upto date
[Nexus 7 General] Salty Wagyu:
Worked great, better than messing around with Google services framework.
[Nexus 7 General] yaroslav_s:
Another possibility to get rid of OTA updates reminders on 4.1.2:

In the file "/system/build.prop" find the string starting "ro.build.fingerprint" and after symbol "=" add the following "google/nakasi/grouper:4.2/JOP40C/XXXXXX:user/release-keys"

Instead of XXXXXX place the figures from the string "ro.build.version.incremental"

Make the nandroid backup prior to this.

For editing file use Root Explorer.

After editing - reboot and connect to the Internet - the reminding should stop.
[Nexus 7 General] mikebz5:
OR... download Autorun manager from the Play store and disable the following in Services( must enable system settings in preferences)

Receiver com.google.android.gsf.update.SystemUpdateService

Requires root access
[Nexus 7 General] andro54:
Same here thank you iamelton!
[Nexus 7 General] rmn6:
Same here didn't need to clear cache. The whole thing took about 30 seconds.

Thank you
[Nexus 7 General] iamelton:
the clear cache part is for those who might have already downloaded the update package file (which is about 80MB) by the ota service.. it removes this file and frees up some cache space..
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
What does FOTAkill actually do to your system?
[Nexus 7 General] rmn6:
That's a GREAT question.

iamelton do you know the specifics? It would also be interesting to know what permission if any are effected with this method.
[Nexus 7 General] iamelton:
sorry but i have no idea what it actually does to the system, apart from the obvious function of stopping the OTA service..

from this page, it requires the following permissions..

android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED
com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.WRITE_GSERVICES
com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES
[Nexus 7 General] datorprofessor:
It worked. I follwed your insttrucction. I made file permission to 755 instead. Is there any different? I already had 4.2 but not that one with multi user. I think the update will partition the SDcard, but maybe it already did from 4.1.2 to 4.2 with sdcard0 and emulated. That iswhat I already have. But not the multiuser. I was wondering if it will also block update 4.3 4.4 etc? ??
[Nexus 7 General] iamelton:
afaik it should stop any future OTA updates regardless of android versions..

and granting permission 755 is more than the needed 644, but that does no harm..

i thought 4.2 was the version with multi-user support, but then im not on 4.2 yet so cant tell much about it..
[Nexus 7 General] gelhack:
What Google did with OTG / Stickmount / DirectoryBind on 4.2 was a real buzz kill, so I don't want it now

either. I'm not going to hold my breath on this, but I'm hoping that some future update might allow real

data sharing on a USB stick, so I might eventually want to do an update. My question is this:

If I install FOTAKill to stop the notices etc, will uninstalling it allow me to update again?
[Nexus 7 General] iamelton:
i think removing the apk from /system/app/ should allow OTA notifications to show again, though i have not tried it yet..

btw, we have the same reason as why not to upgrade..
[Nexus 7 General] jack00000:
I used this from other thread, forgot where it is.

"Install Autostarts app.

Go to "After Startup"

Scroll down until you see "Google Services Framework"

There should be several of them. For me it was the third one. Touch it and read the bottom of the popup to find out. It will say "Receiver com.google.android.gsf.update.SystemUpdateService. ....(you get the point)

Disable it. Done..."

Peaceful on 4.1.2. :p
[Nexus 7 General] helloterence:
There's another alternative way that I used that worked:

In the file "/system/build.prop" find the string starting "ro.build.fingerprint" and after symbol "=" add the following "google/nakasi/grouper:4.2/JOP40C/XXXXXX:user/release-keys"

Instead of XXXXXX place the figures from the string "ro.build.version.incremental"

Make the nandroid backup prior to this.

For editing file use Root Explorer.

After editing - reboot and connect to the Internet - the reminding should stop.
[Nexus 7 General] iamelton:
thx for ur method..

i suspect this method only applies to the OTA of android 4.2, which means future OTA alerts of, say, 4.2.1 will pop up again..
[Nexus 7 General] helloterence:
Nope. I'm still on 4.1.2 and haven't gotten any notification about 4.2.1.
[Nexus 7 General] gelhack:
I'm assuming that updates to 4.2 and 4.2.1 are incremental, and as such you couldn't install or get a notification for 4.2.1 until you installed 4.2. So any method that stopped 4.2 notices would also stop 4.2.1 notices.
[Nexus 7 General] Censura_Umbra:
If anyone has downloaded the update and now has the constant notification telling them to install it (the one that can't be swiped away). Then the best way to get rid of is to go to system/etc/security and delete/rename otacerts.zip Then just click install and it will go away and say up to date

And if you want to update later just rename it again and check for update
[Nexus 7 General] retardbatman:
You don't happen to know of any way to do this without using CWM or alike? Thinking along the lines of just deleting the update using a file explorer. I've looked around a bit, but haven't found the file yet.
[Nexus 7 General] iamelton:
it's a file in, well, "/cache" directory.. u just need a file manager with root access to look for the OTA file there..

cannot tell the exact file name as it varies among android versions..
[Nexus 7 General] Nate2:
Re: [INFO] Stop OTA update nagging

To avoid the constant nag to upgrade, I downloaded http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.autostart.manager

[Nexus 7 General] gelhack:
Re: [INFO] Stop OTA update nagging

A warning for all that have stopped the 4.2.1 upgrade nagging... If you decide to upgrade to 4.2.2 after faking your device into thinking it already has 4.2.1, the upgrade file will think it's upgrading from 4.2.1 rather than 4.1.x and won't contain everything you need for a successful upgrade.
