[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martin_tokyo:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 phone, issued in Japan, that is rooted. I am not an Android expert by any means, but I have succeeded in the past in upgrading my phone.

I upgraded to Jellybean (initially with Cyanogenmod nightly build) the other day, hoping it would solve a few minor annoyances, like spontaneous volume changes. However, what ended up happening was that my GPS stopped working entirely.

So I tried different ROMs. Cyanogenmod, AOKP, and Resurrection Remix. In none of them did the GPS work. I also tried various patches.

However, one time while trying to flash a ROM (I don't recall which one), the process stopped in the middle and never proceeded. I let it sit for an hour with no progress. Realizing something was wrong, I rebooted the phone and it won't launch Android.

I can boot into recovery mode, and I have tried reflashing all three ROMs, but, even though they worked before, they don't work now. They either never finish installing, exit with an error, or they reboot and never start Android.

I tried reflashing the kernel, Siyah 5.0.1, but now that exits with an error each time, even though it worked before. Also, it seems that my kernel might be "Philz" now? I'm not sure. The recovery interface says "Philz" on it, and my understanding is that's a different kind of kernel.

What do I do to clean this mess up, get Android working again, and ideally get Jelly Bean with working GPS on my phone?

Boot into download mode, flash a stock rom in Odin - clean slate. Guides here, stock roms from AndroidFirmwares.net, Samfirmware or Checkfus. Rest - up to you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martin_tokyo:
I flashed a stock rom using Odin, and it displayed green and said success... but now my phone won't turn on. Black screen. When I press on, or try to boot into recovery or download mode, I get no response at all.

So... does this mean my phone is totally bricked?
[Asus Transformer TF700] zakolson5:
how much additional storage can you add via microsd card?
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
some 64gb cards work, some dont. i have a 64gb microsd sandisk class 6 in mines and it works fine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KVLV:
mine is a Sandisk ultra 64GB microsdxc class 10 UHS-1 working fine. I just have the card a few days ago.
[Asus Transformer TF700] zakolson5:
alright thanks guys. Class 10 the way to go for videos?
[Asus Transformer TF700] markbraggs:
It's always worth it to spend the extra little bit to jump from a class 6 to 10. For everything, not just movies. Get the better card now and stress out less later!
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
class doesnt matter when it comes to playing movies. It matters when transferring them. I have a class 6 64gb and a class 10 32gb, and both play movies perfectly.
[Asus Transformer TF700] zakolson5:
That's good to know just faster transfer speeds from computer to sd card?
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
some would say otherwise.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InStake:
Hello,

When I flash a firmware via Odin I always end up having to pull the battery out and try to reinstall via recovery mode.

I was wondering what was going on with my galaxy s2 (i-1900M).

Also, when I flashed my galaxy s2, my bootloader changed from the Bell Mobility bootloader to the international I-9100 loader.

I was wondering if there was a method to recover this.

Please reply ASAP!

Hey im from the sprint version note 2 and I wanted to ask if you guys phone screen light turn on when receiving a message? As in your screen is of and everytime you get a message your screen would turn on for a few seconds, if you have that and want it disabled then I dont mind helping just upload me your stock SecMms.apk and your framework-res.apk and your twframework-res.apk and ill fix you guys up a disable for it

If you dont get what im saying just head to our forum and youll see there what im talking about
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] daveid:
What exactly is the problem? I'd be glad to test to see if it even exists, but have yet to notice anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lbxmobbin_1:
Well for us the screen would turn on when u receive a text message and it gets annoying..does your screen turn on when you receive a message?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mxmarcus:
I don't see a problem here. Just turn off notification solves the issue and no need to install anything
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JaguarXT:
You silly. No one wants their screen light to come up when you get a notification. You want the notification led to go on when getting a notification. That is what the notification led is for.

The individual wants notification without their screen light turned on.

I don't know why some applications turn on the screen light some or all the time when getting a notification. I had a few apps turn on the screen light when getting a notification. But you may want to try out "Light Flow" in the Play Store. See if that helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lbxmobbin_1:
Im not talking about the led light im saying when your screen is off and your receive a message it will turn your screen light on a few seconds..our phones came like that and there was no setting to didable the screen light on when receiving a message...

If your phone doesnt do that than fine, I was just simply asking if your guys had the same thing and if you needed the optioned disabled that I wouldnt mind doing it thats all
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JaguarXT:
If you read my post then you would know that I knew that. I was talking to the other person.

Note - Light Flow is not compatible with Note 2 right now, because you will have to disable S Pen Air View function. Sorry, my bad. My idea was to change the application's, that is causing this issue, behavior to only use LED Notification.

This is usually cause by an app that has a background process running to be notified when you do something like send & receive and SMS, MMS, etc... This is one of many reasons why I use AutoStarts application to manage background processes. This app most likely is an app that your carrier, Sprint, added to your Samsung Galaxy Note 2. These apps like this loves to have background processes being notified when you send or receive SMS and MMS. This is most likely the app/s that caused this issue of your screen light to light up for a moment. Stopping that background process is the best solution.

My question to you is: What did you change within those files that solved this problem?

My request to you is: Write to us what you changed within each of those files, with the name of each file, to solve this problem.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] santiagodraco:
I just installed the Spigen Oleo plastic protector, and while it's a good as such go, it's no glas.t. I had the Glas.t on my Note 1 and loved it.

With the Oleo (and I'm sure other covers would be the same) the pen moves very roughly, not at all what you'd want if you are taking notes and want accuracy.

Very disappointed. I'm sure the reason is the complaints about edges not sticking and such... but if they'd simply include 2 in every package, like with the plastics, there's be less of an issue with returns. I loved mine, no issues with edges.

If any of you feel the same please make your voices heard with Spigen so that they might reconsider and produce the cover.

Yes the s3 has a curved screen. I believe they had problems with the s3 glass screen protector thats why they chose not to make one for the note 2.

After using the Spigen Oleophobic screen I'm a lot less concerned about the lack of the glas.t. The spen slides over this protector like glass as it is, so no real need for the glas.t after all. Happily surprised.

i remember they did release glas.t for note 2, but they all had some weird sensitivity problem. thus they have decided to not make anymore for the note 2. but i could be wrong. or i remembered it wrongly, and the sensitivity issues were for the s3.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] partylikeaninjastar:
I don't trust that method to be 100% reliable, though. Just from experience with my G2x and it freezing. My phone has a button combo that restarts the phone, but sometimes it fails when my phone is frozen and I still have to pull the battery.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monk4Life:
On the nexus 4 the 10sec power button reboot is programmed on the hardware layer(pre-boot) and not the software layer. No matter how bad you freeze your phone in the o/s the power button hold will always reboot it plain and simple.

If you have a hardware issue though then your in trouble no matter what.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MauriceZ:
My nexus 4 just froze 2 min ago after trying to quit a game. I waited for it to do something but nothing happened. Holding power button down did NOT help.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Henu:
I´m having quite a frustrating problem. Tried to search the net for hours, only finding a handful of people with the same issue but no solution. So, I wondered if anyone can help me out here? The problem is that my clock is not updating while screen is off. Naturally, this affects all alarms and notifications as well.

20:15 -> I adjust alarm to 20:30 and put the screen off. I press power right after the screen has gone off, and see the lockscreen.

Lockscreen informs it´s 20:15 and the alarm is set at 20:30.

20:30 -> Nothing happens.

20:45 -> I press power. Clock says 20:15 for a second. After one second, it shows 20:45, and the alarm starts ringing.

So the problem is quite easy to identify- the clock doesn´t get updated when screen is off. The moment I switch it on -seeing the lockscreen- it gets updated and acts accordingly if any alarms or notifications were to ring at the period it was not updating. However, it´s much less easy to find out what´s behind it. Could anyone spare me a hint here?

I´m running a rooted P7300 with CM10, 30/10 build. Using Tasker to underclock while the screen is off in order to preserve battery life. I thought that caused the problem, but while leaving the CPU untouched....

01:00 -> Switching tablet off, putting alarm at 9:00

09:10 -> Wife wakes me up instead of the alarm. I press power.

Clock says 8:48 for a second. After that second, it gets updated, shows 9:10, and the alarm starts ringing.

I´m getting a little clueless here, so any help would be appreciated.

Running rooted P7300 with CM10 (30/10 build).

Cheers, Henu.

EDIT: Ok, I´ve come to the conclusion that this freezing happens when entering Deep Sleep. If that could give anyone any clues?

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Abrown0920@gmail.com:
I have been running the 11_11 build since it was released and had not had clock issues until today. I am not overly technical and have no clue why it is happening again. But for as smooth as this rom is I will live with it.

When mine gets confused on time it will not reset itself once i wake the tablet up, it stays messed up until I manually fix it.
