[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
If you also can go into recovery, try to wipe. In addition did you flash any custom kernel?

If not, try to reflash a rom with odin after you got into download mode or did you try this already?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luke2508:
If you mean with CWM mod, no I cant, it just shows the Galaxy S3 GT i9300 screen then goes black. Yes i did have a custom kernel, I believe it was the latest Perseus one. I already tried this with a stock rom and it idnt work, it said it had passed but i still can boot the phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
as you can go into download mode but not recovery, what about flashing CWM another time (if you did not try it already). Maybe it solves the issue with recovery and from there you could go on trying to wipe etc.

Other options would be to do a mega or super wipe (if this is possible from odin & download mode, not sure though), to get your phone completely empty (mega) or at least to factory reset (super).

I successfully flashed CF root with CWM, now shall I do a wipe and then restore back to a nandroid backup I made? and if so how will I? The phone now shows the samsung logo when turned on but just stays there forever.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Furthermore i suggest anyone having motherboard dead problems and vendor Samsung saying no warranty .

To pull up the many posts regarding this now known manufacturing defect and don't accept in this case root/ custom rom warranty is rejected .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luke2508:
The thing is there is nothing wrong with my phone in terms of hardware. The problem that I am having is purely software, I think I just need to restore my phone to a previous version. I did see that thread but didnt feel my post belonged there as my problem is nothing to do with broken battery or mobo or anything along those lines. Hence why I am posting here
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Just factory reset via recovery then flash a stock rom via Odin .

No recovery flash CF root via Odin .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luke2508:
I did install a stock ROM and it was still stuck on bootloop, left it like that for an hour, still nothing. So I went into CWM (after flashing it) Wiped and factory reset (noticing it said error mounting /data but ignored) and then restored with a backup I had. it did say error mounting /data and so skipped that step. Still stuck in boot loop. now that I try wiping again the same error occurs, error mounting /data :( any ideas please?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xda-napp3:
I did have this problem a few days back. The only thing i did was downloaded my Carrier stock firmwaer and extracted boot.img and used Samsung galaxy toolkit and make a filé that i was able to use with Odin. Dunno if ot helps you but my Phone is still going strong

I was only trying to root my Phone tho. No custom rom installera when i got The boot problem

Sounds like you have permission problem. I can't find the three about that but I update my post here if I can find it.

you can try to fix permission in cwm it seems, hope it works

[HTC EVO 3D] dfeldt91:
That's a hard one to figure out without having the phone to look at. Since it happened after a good fall it is most likely that a piece of hardware was broken.
[HTC EVO 3D] EM|NEM:
I'd say its probably broken rather than bricked
[HTC EVO 3D] kaos420:
ya i left it charge all night. nothing at all. come to find out it didnt fall from her pocket. for some reason (i dont know why) she decided to hold it with her hair band in here bun. well i guess it fell all 5' 5'' to the ground. its done waiting for store to open up so i can take it to repair center at 12. sadly my repair center doesnt open phones. they just order replacements. so looks like ill have to get hers replaced.

Widget locker for lock screens

Settings > S-Pen > Pen Attatch/Detatch sound

Also the sounds are stored in:

/system/media/audio/ui

You can try changing the files to the sounds you want. It should work though may cause issues if not correct size. I just turned off sound and turned on vibrations for S-pen.

I use widget locker, works 99% of the time, sometimes original lock screen is shown though.

2)Using Root explorer to extra the sound i like from /data/app/fun.entry.sword-1.apk<this is app from Market link above)/Raw/this is where you will find the list of sounds

3) After choosing my favorite sound,I long press on it & the option to extra it came up which i then clicked.

4)After that i went into /System /Media/Audio/Ui

5)I clicked on rename Pen_det_noti1.ogg so i can copy the Name but i didn't delete it.

6)I then went into /sdcard/speedsoftware/extra then i long press on the sound i extrated earlier in step 3,click rename & i paste the Pen_det_noti1.ogg name onto it.

7)I then cut the newly renamed sound,went back into /System /Media/Audio/Ui & paste the new sound that i renamed which will overwrite the original.

I only change the detach sound for now,looking for a high bitrate light saber sound now :D

Hi Friends,

Not a stranger to CL at all, have scored many-a-deals there, am aware of the necessary pre-cautions that come with CL and testing and buying a phone from there. But, for the first time I am thinking of picking up my first flat-screen TV from CL.

Before everyone throws in the red flags at once :P! LOL! The guy, so far, from texts and etc sounds like a well versed professional in healthcare, much like myself. He is moving, and is not taking his TV with him, which he received in September as a birthday present. He's very responsive, organized, in that he set a specific time for meeting at his house to examine the TV. Much like myself, his terms are fair and upfront. He's talked about the minor aesthetic damage on the TV, and wants cash... He's even gone on to say that he prefers selling his items to people who are friendly and upfront on CL. All of these things actually are things that I do/have done while selling on CL myself. So, that's a bit about the seller.

Where I need your help is on... how to MAKE SURE and TEST and LED TV, since I know next to nothing about them, owning them, and etc?

Sample steps phone for a phone might look like this:

1. Turn on wifi, bluetooth, data, and GPS to make sure they work

2. Make a call

3. Turn on the speaker

4. Launch the camera

5. Take a picture, make a video

6. Play it back to hear the audio

7. Check the SD Card

and so on...

What would be the steps I need to follow when buying a used LED TV?

In case you are wondering the TV is: Sony Bravia KDL60EX723

Thank you for your help!
[Off-topic] veeman:
1. Turn on TV

2. Test audio and video

3. Test HDMI

4. Make sure there aren't any dead pixels

5. Test all the ports to make sure they're functional.

6. Ummm... Test the remote? :confused:

Hi

today I tried to download a new rom to my phone S3 but i ended up ruining my phone :(

I downloaded a rom called "I9300XXALE9_I9300OJVALE9_I9300XXLE8_HOME.tar.md5"

and via Odin 3,04 i tried to flash my phone, (which contains a 4,1 Jelly bean)

in the middle of the process, all of the sudden Odin stopped and gave me that message:

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

I can access to the Download mode if i press home+power+volume down

Hello. I am running very low on RAM (internal memory) on my Original Droid RAZR. I am aware that there are root apps that use SD Card memory as RAM. Some apps are: "RAM Manager" and "Swapit RAMEXPANDER by ROEHSOFT". You can get them in the Play Store.

Video of one of the apps:

Will this actually work? Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mlndshh:
wait...ram or internal memory?? ram can't be changed but you can increase your internal memory by swapping it with your sd card...in razr its easy to do so...you do need root though

you do that by changing the "sdcard-ext" to "sdcard" and sdcard to sdcard-ext"
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Razr1:
Sorry, I am getting them confused. I meant to say Internal Memory. So I can just swap it with ALL of my SD Card space? Or can I choose how much? and with what app do I do this with? Thanks for reply.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 85gallon:
He is trying to use some extra storage space on his sdcard as a sort of page file or swap file to give him more memory for the OS to run in I think. Who knows with people, myself included, interchanging the terms memory, RAM, and storage. I do it, but it is inadvertant.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Razr1:
Yes that is exactly what I want to do. Is it possible without root?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Madaditya:
No its isn't!

After rooting you ccan make a 'partition' on your sd card that will be assigned to the phone memory. You can use link to sd for this and make partition through CWM...once you read about rooting youll get to know about CWM..so search around this forum..

I'm new to ATT but I had a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 and now I have ATT's S3. I'm looking to do something comparable to what I had on my S2 which was a stock looking, debloated ROM that supported tethering. I've tries AOKP, AOSP, Paranoid etc but something about a clean trimmed stock ROM setup the way I want it is nice.

Right now I have the stock rooted ICS ROM from the How to ROOT section, running APEX PRO so it looks like stock JB. I de-bloated it with the tool found in that thread too.

I thought I would ask for suggestions before I commit to this setup though.

Also is there a tethering app that works on these or a ROM that is like stock JB that includes it?

Also, do ATT phones roam? Can you use ROAM Control is needed? What carrier do they ROAM to? Does data work? Does any of that cost anything extra? I know I could ROAM on my Sprint over to Verizon and it was just minutes, but I had unlimited so it never mattered. I pretty much stayed on Verizon as ATT's 3G sucked and when roaming I got Verizons 3G with the PRL file I had.

Any info would be great.

I've stock rom on my S3 (rooted), and did an update from ICS to JB yesterday - since that my notification bar background is dark grey (instead of black as it was in ICS). I've a very clean "theme": solid black on all pages - I don't like colorful themes (maybe with moving bubbles ;)) - and my black start-screens don't look very nice now with an dark grey bar on top. I've searched a lot and didn't find anything - is there an easy way to set the background color of the notification bar to either transparent or to black? - without installing a theme (which I'm sure modifies things I don't want to be modified). Or is there a recommendation for a simple (!) app which can set this color? many thanks Gerald

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GabrialDestruir:
I'm not sure the specifics, but I imagine if you wanted to do something like this you would need a server side program running on the Pi itself, with an app to attach to it. You could possibly run a vnc server on the pi and have it start the X-Session when someone uses VNC, then you would be able to to access with a vnc viewer on your Nexus 7, of course to do this you'd have to be able to set it up initially. This may also lead to lag as it'll be over a wifi connection.

As far as I know there's no way to do a wired connection, unless maybe using some sort of USB video input with an OTG cable. Would possibly require a bit of hacking on the Nexus side of things.

I'm looking for cheap 820 spare batteries and a standalone battery charger. Understandably, this is a new phone and folks can't expect a lot of accessories to be on the market yet, but I figured we could have a thread to track the options.

For the Samsung Focus we were satisfied with generic batteries and chargers like this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Batteries-GT-...sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+focus+battery+charger

These batteries are still working OK after a year of use although they only last about 80% as long as the name brand batteries and according to our kitchen scale weigh a few grams less. The charger just cut out and fails to charge after a solid year of daily use. I opened it up planning to diagnose with the multimeter, but never got around to fixing it. Really though for $13 it wasn't bad for 2 working spare batteries. So I'm looking for something similar for the 820.
