[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nerminzz:
I have searched everywhere and didn't find anything related to my phone.

So I have a Galaxy SII (GT-I9100) running CyanogenMod 10 and I want to install BLN. I found Siyah Kernel on the net and it supports BLN.

Now my questions are:

1: Will flashing Siyah Kernel wipe my files? I can't afford that right now.

1b: What will happen with my CM10 rom? I read about dual boot, but I am really stuck, I wish to have one ROM and not two.

2: Can I use the latest Siyah Kernel for this? At gokhanmoral website.

3: What will change? I am running CM10 (see picture attached).

4: Is battery life really improving?

5: Is there any change I brick my phone losing all data?

Thanks in advance,

Nerminzz.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjplasma:
1) No it wont wipe your files

2) Yes you can

3) Your kernel will change

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick14:
Use odin and restore to a 4.0.4 Firmware then reset flash counter and then update with kies to 4.1.1 and your imei should be back if it's not then return it to samsung/the place you bought it from and get a warrenty repair ( and what ever they just say u havent flashed it ever )
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeromemory:
any idea to what 4.0.4 firmware i should flash it to.

Hey guys,

I was just thinking about the win8 and the new metro UI. What they are going to offer to all non-touch screen Laptops and Desktops are those smart multi-touch pads. (like the apple magic pad or what-was-its-name...) (or like this one http://www.logitech.com/en-us/mice-pointers/mice/touchpad-t650).

So I was thinking - wouldn't it be much better if we had a nice responsive touch capability WITH video on it... and here out Xooms are kicking in.

We all know that Splashtop Testbed exists, but it offers a remote desktop experience with correct resolution only on the Android Tablet. That means that what is to be seen on the actual PC screen is low res.

Wouldn't it be possible to make an App that will offer smart remote control for win8. I imagine the tablet next to my keyboard navigating the metro UI.

What do you think of that?

PS have a nice weekend

I'm actually excited to try the update, not so much for JB alone, since I don't think there's any stutter that Butter will fix (because I have none at all) and I won't be using google now, but I've read HTC's browser is much improved. I'm also hoping we'll be able to get a bit more battery life, but I'm not quite sure, since JB generally uses more than ICS.

[Desire General] tihimasmo:
My two years of warranty it's up in January and my desire broke for the third time.

I was positive they'd let me upgrade or recompense me.

So yesterday when I went back to the store after the malfunction had been approved by the tech company, I was to my great amazement awarded a brand spanking new...

Yes you guessed it, a desire bravo.

Seems I'll spend another two years here guys. Hope the dev's phones hold up as long as mine.

See y'all around.
[Desire General] lukyjay:
What? Are you nuts? The latest versions of Android struggle to run on this device and there is no manufacturer support. Why not upgrade to something like the s3?
[Desire General] tihimasmo:
What? Are u nuts? Get a new phone when the one I have is just out of the box?

No, srsly. I'm gonna get a Windows tablet for all computer related things. No matter how big the screen of my phone is, it'll still be a phone and android is not near Windows when it comes to satisfying my needs. I'm just glad I realized this before I went and got an s3.
[Desire General] k3lcior:
Meh, tbh if you dont need that much space, or you're not playing games i wouldn't upgrade too.

The only reason i would want to upgrade is bigger screen, but then again phone would be way bigger and not that comfortable.
[Desire General] tihimasmo:
Only games I like to play on a phone are fpse. And that works dandy on desire. I watch movies also without trouble.

Headphones

All headsets don't work for some reason even though they are 3.5 mm. I thought it was a defect and maybe it is designed poorly but some sets work and others do not even when pushed flush. I guess some may need a cheap extender to fully mount in the jack.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EraVulgaris:
Had the same problem. One set of headphones worked (Sony) and the other set (Sennheiser) did not.

Looking at specs the Sennheiser headphone jack is 1/8 inch. Sony doesn't specify but looks shorter. Could this be the problem?

I can't find any info in the N10 manual except 3.5mm. Afraid to push the longer jack any further in.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eager27:
Both my Sennheiser over ear and ear-bud headphones work fine on my n10. I do need to push the connector quite firmly to make sure the final click happens and it is fully seated.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EraVulgaris:
Thanks for the info. Do you know the model you have or how long the jack is? I have PMX680i its a sports model that has a really good sound while allowing you to hear your surroundings. (no, I don't work out with a tablet on my arm :laugh:)

Hi,

I am not at all satisfied with the performance of the official latest update provided by Sony i.e., 4.1.B.0.587.

Posted many times on their support forum but no solution received yet.

It has several issues, naming few:

Hanging Issue (phone is on standby mode and suddenly starts ringing without any display on screen until you turn it off).

Battery Drainage (Major portion of the battery is consumed by Android OS).

Low on stability and performance. (very slow)

Current Version Details:

Model: Sony Xperia Mini Pro / SK17i

Android Version: 4.0.4

Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9 -perf (Why is Sony still using kernel 2.6.x when they should have switched to 3.x?)

Build Number: 4.1.B.0.587

I am looking forward for a custom ROM installation. Kindly suggest me the best ROM for my phone (I have also read on some forums that MIUI is better than CyanogenMod). Is that so???

It is the first time I am doing any custom installation on phone so will really appreciate if you can provide me the links of the forum from where I can get the details of how to proceed with the same.

Eagerly waiting for a prompt and positive response.

Thanks in advance.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
Is your bootloader unlocked? Otherwise forget about cyanogenmod.

You could try my MIUI rom, it works on locked bootloader, too!

MIUI has lots of features, many are very great and usefull. There are great little things like being on lockscreen and holding homebutton acivates the flashlight.

MIUI is great, so just try it. How to install custom roms is in my signature, my MIUI rom, too :good:

Bootloop and "Downloading-do not turn off target!!" in recovery

Hi there,

New here so please be gentle if possible :) Opened box, updated OTA firmware to latest 4.2, enabled developer mode & USB, used adb reboot fastboot and adb oem unlock to unlock. Confirmed unlock and now stuck in a bootloop. When I use Power+Down to go into recovery, I get the Android picture stating "Downloading... do not turn off target!!!". Fastboot and adb commands won't work, so I can't figure out how to get past this point. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byock1:
It's a pain to get into the bootloader. Always takes me a few tries. Try holding down power and both vol keys. I have to do it several times, sometimes just vol - sometimes both. Eventually it will go to the bootloader without the downloading dialog.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Watcher64:
Yes you are in Download mode not recovery or fastboot ...

Hold down BOTH volume keys and the power button to get to fastboot mode .. and you can get to recovery from there ...
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avm1:
Big thanks to both of you who replied with hints. I confirm that holding down BOTH volume keys and power brought me into regular fastboot. I went into recovery (then pressed up+power) and did a factory reset. The (unlocked) Nexus then booted properly after that. I have had no issues since. *fingers crossed*

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjdevega:
Go back to fastboot. Once in fastboot, go into RECOVERY. You'll get android andy on its back with red exclamation point. Hold down POWER then briefly press VOLUME UP. You should then have the menus visible. Now just wipe your device. Reboot and it should work now. If not do the relock, unlock, relock and fastboot recovery and wipe data.

Sry for waking up this thread. I am in the same situation as this user, tried to use the nexus tool kit, reflashed the stock factory image and unrooted it and after everything was done its stuck at the google logo. If i try to acces fastboot i always go into download mode. It says downloading...do not turn off target !!

If i press the power button it restarts the device and again stuck in bootloop at the google logo. I cant unlock or lock because i cant get into fastboot at all.

Help?

LE: i havent manually booted in fastboot mode for so long that i forgot i have to press both the volume buttons for it, was only pressing vol down. Silly me, sorry for the post

I have tried 100 times to boot in fastboot mode. I've done every combination of power, volume up, and volume down imaginable. All my tablet does is vibrate. It will boot to the nexus logo but stays in a boot loop. How can I get to the fastboot? Is it just bricked beyond repair. I was attempting to unlock it with the nexus toolkit and it rebooted my device during the process and started this bootloop. Can anyone help?????
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Can adb find your device when in bootloop? If so

adb reboot bootloader

If not you will need to continue trying to get into fastboot mode with the hardware keys. I doubt you are bricked as the bootloader is still there or it wouldn't make it to splash screen

If you have a custom recovery menu, try wiping cache and dalvik, then "fix permissions". That fixed my issues when opening camera.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PuffinNugz:
It did not duplicate your gallery. It just gave you another one. One is your old 4.1 gallery, the new one is the 4.2 gallery. If you use the new gallery, you shouldn't have any of the issues. I didn't have to set to action, either, as the other guy suggested.

I'm only using the 4.2 camera and gallery for the sphere photos. For normal photos I'm still using the stock camera.

Try downloading the camera from my dropbox link. The first zip I tried flashing had problems. This one has been perfect so far.

If it doesn't work for you, I'd use Root Explorer (or something similar) and delete GalleryGoogle.apk and GmsCore.apk from /system/app. That's all I think my flashable zip installs. I'm not sure what the one you installed had in it.

I honestly don't think the 4.2 camera is ready to be a daily driver for somebody who takes pictures on a normal basis. Just grab the gallery2.apk from the original zip of the ROM you're using and put it in system/app to get your good old camera back if that's what you're wanting.

I disagree. I was using it on my nexus without any issues.

Greetings to all

This is my first post and I hope to be putting it in the right place.

I had a problem with my Lumia 900. After trying to update the firmware and not be successful, a dialog appeared asking if I wanted to format a device, by mistake I clicked "yes". after that, my phone did not turn on anymore.

I have looked everywhere but it seems that nobody else has had this problem.

My phone does not work anymore, it was my fault, I know.

I have tried everything and nothing seems to work. I hope you can guide me on what I can do.

When the update completed/failed...how much battery did you have? and when you try to turn on the phone...how far does it get? white screen? Nokia logo? ...if you don't even get the power on vibrate ...plug your phone in the power for a few minutes (5-20) and unplug..try to turn on phone again...once you see the Nokia logo...plug in the power again. I suspect a power/battery related problem but I am not sure...give it a shot.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Sarge020:
Thanks for answer me.

When the problem occurred battery was almost complete.

When I try to turn on the phone nothing happens, does not vibrate or turn on the screen.

I read somewhere that I should not have formatted the drive that appeared when I wanted to try to flash phone, but unfortunately I read it too late.
