[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Well my friend ...I've got to tell you up front ...that the likelihood of getting your device repaired on your own is remote at best...

You have damaged the device partitions ...and likely do not have a usable backup of the EFS folder..

The EFS contains the IMEI number used for restoration purposes...

I'm not going to tell you that a repair cannot be done..as a select few users were able to fix a bricked device...but I will suggest your best solution ...IMHO

Contact the good folks at :

mobiletechvideos.com

And let them know what you did..

They offer a complete restoration service to repair your device correctly ...and can likely do the job in about a week...

They are located in Texas, USA I believe ...and they have an excellent reputation for quality service...

Your choice of course...but if I were in your situation...I'd send the device to them in a second...

Time is money...at least for me...and although I could probably fix it...I don't have a RIFF BOX...or a JTAG ...

Others will post up with links to help you...and after you have a chance to look them over ...you can decide..

Very sorry for the damaged phone....g

t989D problem

I have a similar problem. I installed Superandroid 4.3 on a telus/koodo s2 t989D. I had to update the radio to flash the rom. I used CWM for that.

Now the info I have on the phone is

model sgh t989

android version 4.3

baseband t989uvmc6 .

The phone is not reading my SIM at all. It shows my carrier but no signal strength at all. I have read the above post. My IMIE number is still there.

Any help :)

Hey all. I just tried Skype on my phone for the 2nd time today and was told that my image was green. The first time it was on the vzw network so i assumed there was a bandwidth issue however today I was on wifi.

Looking it up on Google it seems to be an issue with HTC phones on ICS and the Skype app. Has anyone found a fix for this or must we wait until JB?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] litetaker:
I think the latest version of skype fixed this a while ago...

Is it possible the camera settings would affect color? Try setting your White Balance to compensate for the color temp of the lighting where you're located during the call. I suspect this might be the source of the problem.

Hello!

I have the leaked LSJ (Android 4.1.2, rooted) in my I9100 but I don't use the Touchwiz launcher because I don't like it. Instead, I use Go Launcher.

I have been trying to use the Accuweather's widget on the launcher but I was unsuccessful. I have searched the entire forum and tried several methods, but none of them worked.

So, my question and request is, has someone made it work in other launchers? And if yes, how?

Thank you very much!

[Nexus S General] rockerblood:
The Android 4.2, JellyBean update will not be available for Nexus S or Motorola XOOM users.

This news was confirmed by Google's Jean-Baptiste Queru, who stated that both devices will remain running Android 4.1.2.

The reasoning behind the software not updating to the latest build of Android is due to the older hardware included on the Nexus S and Motorola XOOM.

There were already reports of Android 4.1 running slow on both devices, so updating to the newer build would not be the best idea.

The Android 4.2 JellyBean update finally rolled out to Nexus 4 pre-release users earlier this week.

The Nexus 4 smartphone will now have the ability to upgrade to the latest version on Android 4.2, which brings features that Google has previously covered such as Lock screen widgets and Multi-user support.

Lock screen widgets appear on the device's lock screen and allows the user to customize them in order to view their calendar, email, and to also identify music with Sound Search.

Multi-user support is an interesting feature that allows Nexus 10 users to share their tablet with others by creating separate customizable spaces for each person. In order to log in, users can simply turn on their tablet and tap their photo and they will be able to access their own customized version of their homescreen, apps, email, photos, and storage.

Users can customize their homescreen by choosing a wallpaper, adding favorite apps and games from Google Play, creating folders, and arranging beautiful widgets by dragging and dropping.

A Google spokesperson confirmed to 9to5 Google that Nexus 10 and Nexus 4 users will be prompted to install the update once they power up their devices for the first time.

Google has also introduced a new security feature on Android 4.2, JellyBean, that aims to reduce the running of malware on an Android device.

A similar software to this was released in the past with Bouncer, which was available in the Google Play store .

Bouncer checked applications in the Play store for malicious content.

Now Google has implemented similar software directly into the Android operating system that will detect any foul play coming from foreign programs.

I think the nexus can handle it, with the right optimization. But that's too much work for a nexus device apparently. Don't get me started on the Xoom. Yes, dual core doesn't always mean better, but the CPU definitely was better than the ns, and with a gig of ram (same as the gnex), it should run.

[Nexus S General] rockerblood:
how i wish that my gathered news was a false palm but looks like they are serious about it :(
[Nexus S General] snowmanwithahat:
I think it was a good decision on Google's part. I really had issues with the RAM requirements of JB and ICS. It always ran fairly slow when you got any heavy app running like Chrome or Maps or certain games. It really comes down to the apps being heavy but on GB the 50 - 100mb of RAM not being used by the OS really tends to go a long way when you have such hungry apps running.

tldr; Nexus S needs more ram to run JB well. I ended up going back to a GB rom (in my sig)
[Nexus S General] tchaari:
This is not 100% true. If you use an debloated JB ROM with a kernel having Big Mem patch, Nexus S won't let you down (except for high end 3D games). I am running 4.2 on my Nexus S now and I have 140 MB free RAM with stock kernel. If I'll flash bedalus kernel, I think I'll have even more.

This decision from google is let's say just political :)
[Nexus S General] rockerblood:
so true, with the help of bedalus marmite kernel you will got 400+mb free mem.

i think the OS are not the issue but the apps and processor matters also the internal memory...
[Nexus S General] slab62:
Google mocks us!

Since I passed under android 4.2, my Nexus S works much better than before. Réactivity & performance too. I think Google wants us to change for the Nexus 4 is now impossible to buy!

even its not coming, no problem coz we already have 4.2.1 on my nexus s:)

Hello everyone,

the microphone of my Note II does not really work anymore.

When on an active phone call, the other phone does not hear anything, only a minimal staitc which is pretty normal.

Also voice recording does not record anything.

The only working audio I get is when using the camcorder to shoot a video.

Here it seems also a lot quiter than it was before.

Restarting the phone does not help at all.

Did anyone else have that problem before?

My last idea would be to do a hard reset and hope for the best...

Best regards.

how about using ung headset? can the other line hear you? try using voice recorder and see if you can record your voice. if so, then it's a hardware issue. time to visit your sammy service center.

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Nexus-4s-camera-produces-purple-lens-flare-too_id36705

Nexus 4's camera produces purple lens flare, too

Well, we guess nothing is perfect in this world. Not even the Google Nexus 4 by LG, although we can easily forgive its few drawbacks due to the marvelous price Google has attached to it and the tons of cool features that have made their way inside the package.

When the iPhone 5 came out, some unhappy users started complaining that in some situations, the otherwise very capable camera makes bright lights such as lamps to appear with a nasty purple lens flare effects in images. Apple has even responded to those claims, saying that... this is the camera's normal behavior.

Now that we're seeing that the same happens with the Nexus 4, we can really believe that it's a normal issue for such camera sensors. Thanks to a Google+ user who has uploaded a rather coarse Photosphere shot, we notice that Google's handset is prone to producing abundant amounts of purplish lens flare, too. Unfortunately, we doubt it that there can be any kind of normal solution for that nasty effect, plus we guess that an accessory maker won't come to the rescue this time.

But you know what the good part of all this is? That it doesn't really matter much, since phone cameras have never been that great, really. And why should you bother with such issues, when you have so many other awesome features to enjoy, such as the quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset, the beautiful 4.7" True HD IPS Plus display, or Android 4.2!

Canon lenses have purple too. It's just a side effect of CA/flaring:

(XDA won't let me post URLs because I'm still a liability)

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jujuburi:
The LED brightness varies on external light source, if you are out in sunlight then it will be bright but if you are in a dark room the LED will be dim.

I think the third party apps turn them to brightest possible always, like Light Flow or Light Manager.

I understand that I'm am asking at the wrong thread, but I think this question is suitable to be put here. Of course, the administration or moderators have full rights to move this thread.

My question is, is it possible to add/install a custom boot sound in the SGS Plus especially for custom roms ? Because, I remember the time that you hear the boot sound when you boot up your phone.

So I was wondering if there is a way to do so. Because, to me, since we can put custom boot animation why not put custom boot sound especially GB, ICS and JB roms?

Problem is, I have no idea how to do so. Or rather the main question here is whether is it possible to do so in the SGS I9001?

Any idea guys? Any help is totally appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Edit: Another question is, even there is a way to do so, can it be done in the Stock and Custom ROMS?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] AndroidiusMaximus:
So you know that's the wrong section for this thread, why did you start it? There's a question & answer section in the Galaxy S forum which is also used for our phone.

The last few days were a lot of questions threads started here... This is a development forum, for roms, mods, kernels and nothing more.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] hiej:
I think nabilimran is asking that about CM9 and CM10 roms.

I think custom boot sound is not supported on i9001 CM9/10 (no one of those developped starting from ivendor and arco have bootsound feature [or at least to me it's not clear how to enable it])

so, the question is: is possible to enable bootsound on ICS/JB, or is needed to implement somethig is missing?

The only CM9 with customizable bootsound I've seen is AOKP built by cribert
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] nabilimran:

Yes!!! You read my question correctly! I wanted to know is it possible to do so in CM9 and CM10.

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Yes of course this is possible

in the kernel's ramdisk (init.rc)

Copy the playsound file from a samsung rom and place it in the custom roms /system/bin folder (permissions RWX-RX-RX)

put this in init.rc:

service playsound /system/bin/playsound
user media
group system
disabled
oneshot

And put PowerOn.wav in /system/media

Done ;)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] hiej:
no comments... sometimes you seem like a scratched record

yes but it does not works on every CM9 ;)

Ok, finally a good answer, but I think for people that is not able to play with those things it's no easy to do.

maybe some dev has to implement it on his kernel rom or in standard kernel.

....

So that's a question for develpment section :)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] broodplank1337:
Well it's actually pretty easy, I wrote a tutorial earlier on how to mod a stock rom, everything you need is in that tutorial, when you're in the kitchen you need to press:

(when you've setup an working folder with your boot.img inside)

0 then 20 > then w to extract kernel

and b to build kernel

But it's an old version that I use so it may not be accurate (the tutorial is tho)
