[HTC One S] Chris95X8:
Hello everyone,

So all of a sudden I'm having problems when trying to connect my new One S to my PC. This is really confusing so read carefully.

Typically, when we connect the device to a PC, the LED lights up and the USB icon shows up in the status bar. Here's the thing. When I try to connect my HOS to the PC, the LED blinks asynchronously and the icon on the status bar disappears and reappears. It's like the connection is loose.

My first thought was that there should be a hardware issue.

I tested the cable first for any issues. I tried another cable and the problem persisted. When I tried to connect my other device, an Xperia X8, there was no problem whatsoever. So, definitely, the cable is not producing the problem.

Next, I thought maybe the Micro USB port on my One S was the problem. I took a q-tip and cleaned it, although it already was clean. Tried again connecting it to the PC, no luck. But when I tried connecting it to my Laptop instead, there was no problem at all! And there's also no problem when charging it (from the wall charger).

My next thought was the PC's USB ports where causing the problem. I took a vacuum cleaner (:p) and dusted off any lint there was. So I tried connecting my HOS again and still no luck. Tried all 4 USB ports and even a USB extension cord.

If needed, my PC is running Ubuntu 12.04, my Laptop Win7 and my HOS is running CM10.

Now I'm really confused and I have no idea what to do next. Any thoughts?
[HTC One S] usaff22:
I'd try recreating the problem on another Sense ROM with as little tweaks as possible.
[HTC One S] Chris95X8:
Sorry but I gotta bump this.

I tried connecting it with Virtuous ROM, JB Sense and the issue is still present. I'm pretty sure it's not the ROM's fault.
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
Well... Have you tried reinstalling the drivers on the PC?
[HTC One S] Chris95X8:
It's Ubuntu, there are no drivers. On my laptop with Windows, there's no issue and I didn't install any HTC drivers. Just the regular drivers Windows installs when detecting a new device.
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:

[HTC One S] Chris95X8:
I should probably note that I'm not using an HTC Micro USB cable. Both cables I tried were Sony (Xperia X8) cables.
[HTC One S] Chris95X8:
OMG guys help! I have an app to finish before the end of the month and I can't dev if I can't connect my phone.

I reinstalled Ubuntu (had a serious problem) and the issue got worse! :(

Lol you do love mixing up issues :laugh: this is Linux and it works a bit different and needs someone who knows about it.

---------- Post added at 09:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------

Have you tried installing Linux to the laptop?
[HTC One S] Chris95X8:
Well it's my father's laptop so I'm not allowed to mess around with it. So no, I can't install Linux there.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Do web install and then after testing uninstall in windows after.
[HTC One S] $droyd$:
Does it mount in recovery..? Just use the Ubuntu disk and choose to use Ubuntu not install it at all..
[HTC One S] Chris95X8:
Oh yeah, I totally forgot about live CD/USB. Luckily, I had one ready.

So I tried Ubuntu on my laptop and the connection is totally fine.

Will try mounting in recovery later.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
I think its the chipset that Linux is having issues with so maybe look into updating that or changing it for another version.
[HTC One S] Chris95X8:
Could you tell me more? I don't understand.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
The chipset is pretty much the motherboard which of cause controls USB and other stuff. So you need find out what you on and then see if there is an update.
[HTC One S] Chris95X8:
So I should check if there is a software update for my motherboard. Sorry, I'm not well informed concerning hardware :o

Will do.
[HTC One S] revealed:
Hello!

Which Version is your ROM at? Everything except the Jelly bean update (4.1) should work out of the box.

From jelly bean on you will need libmtp. You want to use mass storage? As far as i know One S has just recently been added to libmtp things. So if there would be a problem you may contact the bugowner or just wait for a working kio slave with mtp.

Greetings,

R

PS.: I use opensuse so things are for sure different. I will just wait for a kio slave that works.

Maybe my information is not precise enough or not correct but you could give it a go:

Try google for:

[How to] Connect your Android Ice Cream Sandwich ... - OMG! Ubuntu!

Maybe you can work with this.
[HTC One S] Chris95X8:
The connection stabilized as soon as I run this.

sudo apt-get install mtp-tools mtpfs

I appreciate your help guys! Thanks :laugh:

Thread = Solved
[HTC One S] Darknites:
But why did it work on the laptop without you doing that?
[HTC One S] Chris95X8:
I don't have the slightest idea. Maybe the problem isn't fixed (:eek:). Till now the connection has been fine. I'll report if it happens again.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Lol at least its working.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wekebu:
When you pull out the S Pen is there a setting to change what pops up? Can a user define what page it opens?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shohratshankar:
Nope. The only option is to enable or disable the S-pen pop up.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wekebu:
Rats. Thanks for the reply.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parrot5:
You can edit the Page Buddy page! It's just like any page of the home page, customize with widgets and app shortcuts. By default, the S Pen Page buddy takes up the whole screen already though.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wekebu:
I've looked in S Note's setting and S Pen's setting...can't locate Page Buddy's page. Can you direct me to it?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricethief:
Goto the display settings and click on Page Buddy
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parrot5:
Simply take out the pen while you're on a home page, then the Page Buddy page will pop up. Then this just behaves like a normal home page where you can just start dragging apps and widgets to it. The default S Notes widget already on there is huge, taking up the whole page already. Alternatively you can just use a S Note shortcut instead, to allow you more space for other things. This is the same with the headphone Page Buddy. I've customized that page with a radio widget instead.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wekebu:
WHOA!!!! Thank you! It's exactly what I wanted. The default page that had the entire page filled can be dragged to Remove and now I have an entire Buddy Page to fill up with everything that I use the S Pen for.

Thank you SOO much!!!!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brooon:
The main problem is that the page buddy thing gets lost as soon as you are using a launcher alternative. So yes, I am in the team of people who would love to see Samsung implementing the option of choosing what app to start!

I've never noticed my screen "flicker"; does it flash off and on again or what?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richieboy67:
Yeah, please clarify what a flicker is... if it only happened a couple times then it probably is related to the apps or maybe a couple things going on at once.

If it is not a constant, consistent problem and had only happened a couple times then perhaps it isn't a problem at all.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snavid972:
think of a ceiling fluoresent light flickering. It does happend alot and its not app related as it happens at the home screen too.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxCarnage:
I've never seen my phone do that. I don't do a lot of gaming or anything real intensive though.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ugotproblemz:
thats a OS issue (fixable). Not like the other hardware issues.

please stop trying to mislead people and hype the problem. thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattSkeet:
I get the flicker but it's definitely app related.

When using Google music app and going to lock screen, the " widget" sort of flickers and stretches throughout the lock screen
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serious_Beans:
My screen flickered for a good 5 minutes and even a reboot didn't fix it. I think it's hardware related because if it was software a reboot would have fixed it. Could have been a driver glitch too but I'm pretty sure a reboot would've fixed it. My flickered a lot though saw a bunch of vertical lines and discoloration. Idk if that's what you're talking about.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxCarnage:
I use Google Music a lot and I've never seen that. I just tried to replicate it and other than the usual CRT off animation I didn't see anything that I would construe as a flicker or flash.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericshmerick:
If you hold your device in front of you with the screen on and look beyond it (i.e. over it's shoulder per say) you can see flicker. Works best in a dark room.

No big deal, but it's there.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snavid972:
I think its a big deal ...you spend your money for a working product..these issues need to be addressed..I thought I could trust LG again but dont think I can anymore
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beastiest:
I too have this issue periodically. I have had it happen with Google Music and with Pocket Casts.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashooner:
Is this a known OS issue, or are you just saying it might be?

This sounds like a refresh rate issue, which would be hardware, yes?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxCarnage:
Sounds like one of those magic eye pictures. If you squint at your screen while holding it at a 45-degree angle in a dark room with brightness turned all the way down and jog in place... ;)

I'm not sure how to replicate it based on what you said, but I still don't see any screen flicker.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radnall:
Mine started flickering like mad today for the first time. I rebooted, but that didn't fix it. I started up a benchmark app and the flickering stopped after the graphics benchmarks ran. I had to RMA my first Nexus 7 with screen issues too, so I'm hoping this is just a software issue :(

I don't have this issue at all.

Hey i was messing around with the build.prop and i changed my pixle density to 150 and the icons were small but i liked it and then i thought hmmm.. i wonder what 100 would look like then. but thenn..... BOOT Freezes now just before the UI loads so the last second of the boot animation. my phone vibrates as it freezes i have a build.prop file on my pc and was wondering if i could modify the script my mkpark for fast boot.

here is what i have got.

fastboot flash x-loader ../files/x-loader.bin
fastboot flash u-boot ../files/u-boot.bin
fastboot flash boot ../files/boot.img
fastboot flash recovery ../files/cwm.img

i wanted to know if it is possible to make a line like this...

fastboot flash [COLOR="Red"]system[/COLOR] ../files/build.prop

as i dont know if system is a real term in this software. thanks or if it is could someone make a system.img for me with the build.prop from the ICS Port? thanks
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
Forget that.

Just boot into recovery and copy paste the correct build.prop
[LG Optimus 3D] defcomg:
Guessing you used root explorer Boot in TWRP Recovery delete or rename build.prop look for build.prop.bak remove the .bak extension or Just USE twrp to copy build.prop to SD Mount USB edit copy it back or use vi Editor in terminal.

I rooted my Galaxy Pocket lately and installed LCD modder just to try changing the dpi settings. i changed the stock 120 dpi to 160 and clicked save. the phone froze and i had to pull of the battery. after i restart all i get is a boot loop. i get 3 things (1) s5300 logo (2) animated samsung logo (3) flashing samsung logo which appears just before the lock screen appears ( 1 and 2 vibrations during this) and then it loops all over again. as i understand the change i dpi is not supported for my device and it is not loading into the home screen. the solution seems to be editing the build.prop file to reassign the stock dpi value. but to access the file i have to get into adb mode and have the device available in the list. but since debugging mode was not selected before i essentially soft bricked my phone i am not able to access my device in adb mode. i am able to get into recovery mode tho.any way to edit the build.prop file from this debugging off situation?? I am aware that i can flash it, but i havent backed up data yet and dont wana loose it.....help is much appreciated..........thanks a ton..
[LG Optimus 3D] boltthrower56:
Download omap4boot.

Go into fastboot mode.

Open omap4boot

Type;

adb pull /system/build.prop

Find it , edit it then type ;

adb push /location of the edited build.prop/build.prop /sdcard

The edited build.prop is in your sdcard now.

Boot into recovery and put it in your system and you're all systems go.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] brkumar:
I got the boot unlocker from ASUS and unlocked the Transformer Prime about 6 months ago (while on Android 4.0.3), with the help of a techie friend. Since then it has been lying in a corner. Given that my new work requires me to travel, I am planning to use Prime as full time laptop replacement.

Browsing thru the forums, I get the impression that Androwook (based on JB) is the most popular & stable ROM for TF201. I would like to flash my device with this ROM. However, I do not have experience of flashing a ROM. One of the prerequisites of Androwook is - Unlocked Transformer Prime with either CWM or TWRP recovery and updated to the official JB bootloader.

Can anybody help me understand how to go about flashing a new ROM in a step by step fashion without need a Windows PC or point me to a video with detailed instructions.

PS: I have a desktop running Ubuntu. So, I am hoping that flashing new ROM can be done without needing Windows.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] McJesus15:
If you are unlocked on 4.0.3 ICS and want to upgrade to Jelly Bean the first thing you want is TWRP. You can install TWRP using one of the methods outlined here: http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/93 I imagine the terminal method will be your option since you don't have Windows. Since you're on ICS make sure you use the proper version of TWRP.

Once you have TWRP then all you need to do is find a rom that has the Jelly Bean boot loader included in it and flash that (such as Androwook V1.3).

Other than, than I don't use it for calling or other stuff when at work.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marnel47:
This is because at that moment in time the OS was what had primarily used your battery, since it was your first day with it and i'm assuming you hadn't spent much time doing anything else this was reporting as 47%. If you had a 30 minute phone conversation or played a game you'd have seen a different set of percentages based on that usage :)

I have a backup of my EFS folder, but even when I restored it, nothing changes and I still have the same emei (not original).
