Help me please.my samsung captivate cannot be update and its rooted. i dont want to hard reset it because my sim will be lock again. how can i update my device?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
What exactly are you trying to do? Update through Skies?

You could get on stock KK4 (Gingerbread) with this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3

But before you do so, you have some reading to do!

Oh and once unlock, always unlock. You don't have to worry about your sim being locked (and in the worse case, remove it before doing the reset).
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moisaal:
IM not sure if this is considered soft bricked but even though i unlocked the bootloader I am sending it back to ASUS, just for ****s and giggles. I was on TWRP 2.3.1 and flashed to a lower version (2.2.1) it may have been a bad download, idk, but remember, TWRP does not verify MD5checksums, so be sure to click that box before flashing. Anyways upon booting, it hangs at the asus screen and will not let me enter RCK, FASTBOOT, ETC Menu. I can turn the device off by holding down power and the volume up key and then letting go of the vol. up but holding the vol .down key is worthless. I will let you know if they will fix it, Id even pay for it bc it was running so smooth, thats why you haveto pay attention when flashing with ur tablets, they seem much more finicky than phones. BTW I was unlocked on the JB Bootloader.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] virtualdodo:
Got a quick question here hopefully someone can help out with.

Currently running CodefireX Nov 17 (Latest version it seems) on a Bell Galaxys3.

I just got a 32Gig San disk SD card (Black Friday sale) So I put it in my phone everything works I can see it in root file explorer as well as others I have moved my music to it no problem. I want to have my pictures save to the SD card as well so I checked under the settings and it isn't an option in this version it seems.

So I did some research and found that changing the Galary2.apk file will fix this. So I changed out the file with the 1.63 version I believe it was rebooted and my camera app and gallery app are gone. I can't even go to the app section in settings and clear data. Rename the flie back reboot everything is happy again but still obviously no SD option.

So am I missing something on that or is there another way to do this? I have a backup for the AOKP that has the SD card option but I am liking codefireX a bit more, (Little to much unicorn swagger for my liking)

thanks

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noobotnic:
Evening lads,

Currently wondering if any one else is having issues with the PA back camera? (v2.54, running Yank555.lu v1.1 kernel)

Taking pictures does not seem to save for me, nor do I get a preview after image is shot.

Any help is extremely appreciated :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapbux:
Try to do a soft reset (pull the battery out of the phone with it on) If that doesn't work, you may have a factory defect and will have to contact your provider about doing a warranty replacement... if you haven't had the phone very long you shouldn't have a problem getting a replacement... hope this helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] coreyon:
Hey guys, does anyone have this issue? The audio from the loudspeaker is just crap, and also the position of it is away from the screen?? What sense does that make? I'm trying to watch a video, not broadcast the video's audio to everyone in my general area (except me).

Now that's a physical problem and can't be fixed. What I'm really mad / inraged about is the jack audio. Any type of headphones I plug into is extremely quite. Compared to my old phone (xperia play) I can't hear anything....is this normal? Does anyone else have any similar problems? I can't even wear these outside and listen to music, the wind and car noise is far louder. I'm forced to bring my old xperia play instead just to hear something (which btw, it's like twice as loud on this phone) and if that's going to be the case every day then it's time to sell this Evo 3D.

Another side note is that the range of the audio is also not very good, I can hear it struggle with high ranges as it makes "pops" in the audio...very disappointing..
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkRazorZ:
My audio has always been fine, but maybe you could try using an EQ or something (might need to be rooted)
[HTC EVO 3D] coreyon:
It's possible that my phone is faulty, but let me ask you this; what volume is your phone at when you think it's fine? I have to place mine at max to be "fine", not great, but fine. While the xperia play is at 50% being just fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkRazorZ:
I personally keep mine at 30% - 40%, it's a comfortable volume. Anything past 70% is a bit too loud. Do you think it may be your headphones..? Or it could possibly be a software issue like your ROM.
[HTC EVO 3D] coreyon:
Originally I thought it was my rom, so I flashed another; same issue, so then I flashed the RUU...same issue. Tried different headphones, same issue, tried the same headphones on different devices...works completely fine at loud audio. Guess the phone is screwed. It already doesn't have any gsm radio connectivity.
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkRazorZ:
Yeah, a hardware issue would make sense if nothing else is working.
[HTC EVO 3D] coreyon:
Are you using the HTC headphones? Because after plugging in the original HTC headphones it came with, I found that these headphones are loud and working correctly. So it seems that any other 3rd party headphones will not duplicate the same result. That is unfortunately because I hate the htc ones, they don't cancel out background sound at all. They all have the exact same jack, 3 rings, same size, etc. But the HTC one is different. When plugging those headphones into my xperia it gives an error and says they aren't supported. So it's obvious that HTC put some type of technology into them that differs them from regular headphones.

Edit: Alright, so I tried yet another pair of headphones lying around and they work fine too. Is it possible that I tried the worlds only two headphones that don't work well with this phone? In any case, I'm no longer mad about the jack audio, it's obviously fine. But the loudspeaker is and always will be an issue, which sucks but oh well.
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkRazorZ:
Nope, using third-party (JVC) headphones. Good to see you've got it sorted out though. Also I agree about the loudspeaker, it's a piece of crap. My old Evo 4G had a better one.
[HTC EVO 3D] 00mpollard:
My phone is quite loud!

Hi there, Facebook syncing is a feature that I miss from a custom ICS rom I used to have. I read somewhere that there might be JB Roms that support this feature but I haven't been able to find one, so before I give up I want ask you directly.

Now before you answer make sure to read this, what I am truly looking for are the numbers and not anything else, so please don't redirect me to HaxSync or FriendCaster because I don't care about high-res pictures or calendar events. If there is a third party app that can sync numbers i'll happily take it. If there really is no way to workaround this issue then, oh well. Thanks for your time guys.

Make sure to backup orig file. Replace. Set permissions. Reboot. Clear fb, contacts cache. Reboot. U do have to manually join.

[Nexus 4 General] BraydenJames:
I haven't seen anybody mention this, so ignore me if this is common knowledge. I was on my stock 4.2 rooted ROM with CWM recovery and I got the 4.2.1 system update. Attempted it with CWM... And it worked. But not only did it work, after I choose reboot phone, CWM warned me that the ROM I just installed might try to flash stock recovery, and asked if I'd like to fix it. It then warned that I might lose root, again asking if I'd like to fix it. So now I'm on 4.2.1. Through system update. Kept CWM and root. Awesome!

[Acer Iconia A500] devize:
I'm running civato's cm10 and my transition animations are very laggy and at times the screen just flickers whilst the animation should be happening. I first had this problem when I tried out Thor's Cornerstone ICS ROM ages ago, which I then moved on to his non-Cornerstone version because I didn't like it. Those problems persisted after removing Cornerstone however. I only just recently installed the ICS bootloader, did a full wipe/factory reset and installed cm10 in the hope that it'd be fixed but it seems that my animations are still very laggy. Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?

The flickering occurs mainly when using the app switcher, whilst opening and closing apps seems to cause a stuttering animation and opening the notification panel is very slow.

Edit: It seems ticking 'disable hw overlays' and changing the window, transition and animation scale to 0.5x has hid the lag a bit. Disabling HW overlays makes the big difference but it still stutters a fair bit when animations are set to 1x. The flickering does stop. Wouldn't expect this of a JB ROM though, so I still think something is wrong.

Edit 2: Did a full format, installed civato's ICS rom and everything works fantastic now.

OK so like some others i have the strange problem that the charging cable is "falling" from the connector on my note 2.

i have found a solution with replacement cable from HAMA and it was great cause the connector is about 1 mm longer and keep "stuck" inside the not 2 :)

the problem is that i have found out the charging is slow...

i thought its my imagination but i take the charger on my bag to work and yesterday night went to sleep with about 12% battery and connecting to the charger i was sure that in the morning the battery will be full....

i woke up 3.5 hours later to work and ... ooops only 74% battery...

i decided that it has to be the cable so i took with me the original cable and here i am at work connecting the charger and in about few minutes i got 80% battery.

so i guess we have to find a thick cable cause "having" 2A charging is depend also on the cable thickness ...

I had similar problems here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2015459

It looks like all cables are not created equal.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] flaring afro:
I doubt it was the gauge. It probably was that the pins weren't fully contacting because they weren't aligned right or something. It doesn't take much wire to deliver 10 watts.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] cyper.bg:
I don't have problems with charging, but the cable fit is very loose and can be very easily disconnected. I thought it's just me.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] WildSioux:
I too have noticed shower charge rate on other chargers/cables. I used one of my old palm pre (yes remember those) chargers and cable to charge my note2 one day and it took forever. Not sure what the reading is buti believe it was a 1.5a charger witha thinner wire.

I am using the stock Samsung note 2 charger/cable my phone came with and it is much faster. On the cable it says 23AWGx2. Not sure what the x2 is but i would look for the same 23 AWG.

I also have an I go charger with the interchangeable tips. I believe it is a 2a charger. Not sure about the wire gauge but it is thicker. It also charges fast like the stock one.

I'm guessing the smaller gauge wire loses some charge through the extra heat it is generating to push the2a required. I did notice on the palm pre charger that it was hot.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] 6666:
I have noticed on all my chargers besides the stock one I have to push much harder to plug it in. I hope its not damaging the connector on the phone.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] gub:
The important thing is amperes, not watts. And 2A is not that small.

I tried using the following site to calculate the voltage drop : h ttp://genuinedealz.com/voltage-drop.html. And with 4ft of 28AWG cable at 2A, the voltage drop is 1V. And 5V-1V=4V is not enough to completely charge li-ion batteries. Switch to 20AWG and the voltage drop becomes a more reasonable 0.16V.

Also, voltage drop is proportional to length, so longer cables must be thicker to compensate.

Hi all,

A friend just bought me a Samsung tab 2 in Oregon for $279, no tax there apparently. I ordered a nexus 10 for $444 including tax in California and I'm awaiting its arrival. He says the nexus 10 is not worth it - maybe iPad envy :) My gut tells me to keep the nexus once I get it. Anyone with experience with both tablets willing to share your thoughts?

By the way, this will be my first tablet so I won't know any better.

Thanks...

I've not used the Tab 2 10" much... but I can say the Nexus 10 is definitely better... the display is absolutely gorgeous and the stereo speakers are much better... the CPU/GPU combo is way better IMHO... but the biggest advantage of Nexus devices is they will always get updates first and will be supported with updates for considerably longer...
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sartanus:
Between using the Tab 2 10.1 and Nexus 10 is a night and day experience.

The ghosting/lag/etc present on the Tab 2 switching pages in the app drawer/home screen makes the baby Jesus cry. Briefly owned the tab 2, was not a fan, returned it due to the not being a fan of the inherent lag, debating the Asus T700 then I saw the Nexus 10 announcement.

Got my paws on the Nexus 10 and have been much happier.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blown 89:
I switched to a N10 from a tab 2 and couldn't be happier. The difference between the two is night and day. Touch wiz has a few nice features and widgets but it kills performance and reliability. I've never used a non android device that wasn't riddled with reliability and performance issues. Google's own devices don't always spec out high on paper but there's a reason people clamor for them.

Among some of my issues: touch wiz always lagged, the browser crashed constantly, widgets crashed and froze the tablet with them, and the keyboard was so laggy it was unusable. The only thing it has going for it was amazing battery life and accessories.
