In answer to Q2, Yeah I went from rooted .195 to .223 rooted without first

flash downgrading

to .303. I used Method1 (which is no longer in Black97one's original post). That method had a script which restored the original Ric file which is needed for the OTA update not to fail. After the successfull OTA update run "runme-after-OTA-UPDATE.bat" from the toolkit to fix the reboot when mounting System problem (ie. Step 8 in the current instructions).

I've just downloaded Black97one's toolkit from the 1st post again and it still has a script to restore the original Ric file, it's "run-if-OTA-update-FAIL.bat", so if you're rooted on .195 and being offered the .223 OTA update those 2 scripts in the toolkit should allow you to update without first flashing to .303. :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gnizamami:
A quick question.

Hi,I followed these instructions and am now on .223 rooted,with locked bootloader (can't be unlocked). If i wait for OTA update,to jellybean,will that retain root,or not? cheers :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] icstm:
Interesting that you had that experience.

Black97one himself posted here to say he thought that "loophole" was closed, which is why he deleted that procedure.

I am hoping to use that procedure to update to JB OTA. I am waiting for the simple approach to getting JB with ROOT. I won't go to JB without it and I don't want to unlock the bootloader.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] BarneyJ:
Well I got the Jellybean OTA update notification tonight, it's a 246MB download. I restored the Original Ric file before attempting the update and can confirm that I've successfully updated to Jellybean and retained Root. Then ran the "runme-after-OTA-UPDATE.bat" script to cure the mounting System reboots. :victory: (My phone is on the o2 UK mobile network)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] black97one:
Cooool thank you very much again :D

I will update with a unbranded ROM later :)

Xperia via Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] icstm:
I too saw the JB update was available OTA - same size even though I was on 195, and not 223.

I have an unbranded phone on the o2 network, so assume that they are also rolling out unbranded ROMs, rather than giving me the o2 one.

I will do the same once I start seeing fewer posters complaining about battery life and other issues with this JB update.

Are you guys not worried by these issues?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ballastatuz:
My nexus 4 the battery is not amazing. I have auto brightness, haptic feedback and many other stock features on. I am still on 4.2. Did 4.2.1 help battery? Anyone have any power saving tips? Or do I need to root and install a different kernel?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeamAlpha:
I found turning off location services helped. Settings > Location Access > Off.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ballastatuz:
But then I actually use Google now. So I think I'll keep that on.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
The only location service you need for Google Now is "Wifi and Mobile network location". You can turn off GPS. Also go into maps and turn off all of the location reporting. It will have no effect on Now.
[HTC One X+] csrajput:
Hi, I have already posted this on another thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2001204&page=6) as a reply, but I think this is a different topic and needs its own thread of discussion.

I have a weird bluetooth problem with my OneX+, where apps like Navigation, Google Voice, Voice Search, Skype etc just do not play through the bluetooth. Only the inbuilt Music app, phone calls and the system sounds (rings, alarms, notification sounds etc) play through bluetooth.

On my phone, the music and phone calls go through bluetooth fine. But the problem is, that all other applications which have some kind of sound output, just do not play through bluetooth. The list includes, Google voice, Voice Search, Navigation, Skype, Waze, Raaga, Pandora and so on. So other than the in built music app, calls and system sounds, nothing else can play through bluetooth.

However, if you have some music played using inbuilt music app, and at the same time Navigation ON too, then all the navigation prompts play through bluetooth fine.

I feel that, in built music or calls can hold and lock the bluetooth connection while the sound output is on, whereas all other applications like Navigation, waze, voice search etc, just cannot keep the bluetooth locked in. Hence when music is being played bluetooth is connection locked and I can hear navigation too. But you switch off music and navigation (or other apps) go mute.

BTW, I tested my car with HTC One X (not plus) from my friend, and it does not exhibit any such problem. Navigation (or other apps) play fine through my car's bluetooth. No need to keep music ON on the phone.

Has anyone noticed this? Can someone please test it with their devices? Please try various sound output apps on your HOX+ over bluetooth, and list them here wheather they could output sound using ur bluetooth device, also please name what bluetooth device you are using.

If you know any work around, it would be of immense help to me for sure.

[HTC One X+] mgymnop:
I will test it with the navigation only on my way back home from work. Will report back.
[HTC One X+] mgymnop:
Just tested navigation without anything else. Worked for me over the car speakers via BT.
[HTC One X+] Dangerously:
I too do not have this issue. Look under Bluetooth and see what profiles are enabled.

You should have both "Phone audio" and "Media audio" checked. If they are, then unpair and repair your phone.
[HTC One X+] origout:
Hello, i have exactly the same pb.

the only way for me to have Bluetooth output on without playing music is to play a silent mp3 in repeat mode...

did someone have an issue ?

here are my bluetooth parameters

[HTC One X+] deeznuts:
Stock or running custom Rom? Didn't read your page long article on the problem just the first paragraph, thesis, lol. I ask because I'm running the elegancia ATT Rom and all u say not working are all working perfectly for me! I also use Bluetooth all day at work and in the car. My navigation (stock app) talks to me through my Bluetooth headset as well as Pandora, Google voice, etc. Using plantronics marque 2 headset if it makes a difference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] WVFAN1:
Hows the call quality on the note 2 i want one but i live in West Virginia and well coverage isnt the greatest sometimes its between the note 2 and Nexus 4 any comments are appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] phobic99:
I've never owned a Nexus 4 (damn you Google), but I did previously own a Galaxy Nexus on Verizon. Honestly, I can say my Note 2 on ATT has much better clarity. This could of course also be because of the network and I also believe that the GNex didn't have the best hardware in terms of radios. My GNex was very staticky and just didn't sound good. I'm much happier with the note 2.

I hope this helps you some, if at all. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] cwhitney24:
I had the nexus 4 for one day before selling it to buy this note 2 last week. (I was one of the lucky ones to get theirs from Google) The call quality was ok, but is much better on this. The note 2 overall is a much better buy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blacktwin:
I'm in WV as well and our ATT service has been fine. Call quality is great on the note 2. Still stock. I previously had the Inspire and was constantly changing ROMs to reduce my echo. The note 2 was a nice change. Also all the Samsung added features are very nice.

Just do it.

ATT had a deal with galaxy devices, buy two get 100$ off. Don't know if this is still available.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] WVFAN1:
I like the big screen on the note is it any better than the note 1st gen?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eelnoraa:
I am quite impressed with the call quality. Coming from IP5, I think IP5 was good, but Note II is just better, at least on my side. Ear piece is larger and cleaner.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Blacktwin:
Never had the note 1 but the screen size is huge. At first you'll think it's too big. Give it 2 days or so then you'll find the most comfortable way to hold it and be able to reach most of the screen.

Photo and video recording quality is amazing. Watching videos on it is nice too. Just get it.

^Title

I'm hoping to get myself a Note 2 soon, so I'm gathering up all the stuff I'd need.

Anyone know of a well-fitting one in existence? I wouldn't mind a full on aluminum/partially aluminum case with a flip cover either. Preferably in white.

I'll be getting the AT&T version of the phablet, if that makes any difference.

Thanks guys.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DMax99:
Don't think there is any aluminium ones around.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Hemlocke:
Why would you want aluminum? NFC won't work with that.

Sent from my Galaxy Note II
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] silentecho13:
Aluminum just looks and feels great haha. I thought it would be a nice touch. I never used or plan on using NFC though, so I'm not too concerned about that part.

I wouldn't mind a leather flip case either though, a folio type thing.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeStonga:
I wanted to start this post to see if anyone was familiar with the Alps E120L specifically, or at least has any knowledge of rom making for any china phone with MT65xx processor.

I would like to be able to fix a few quirks with the phone I have and see if I can develop a rom.

The help I need, which I feel is encountered the most often and not always answered on the forum are:

1. My china phone is rooted, but the bootloader is locked. How do I unlock it?

2. I can pull the framework-res.apk off my phone, decompile and edit it using any of the apk tools, but I get errors recompiling it every single time. what is the problem here? By the way, I was able to successfully pull the same framework file off of my samsung galaxy tab, edit it, and recompile it with no problems so it is not a problem with me!

3. How do I get the gps on my phone to work without A-GPS? What files are responsible for the GPS to function?

The reason I need to know this is because my GPS doesnt work and I dont know if its because I dont have A-GPS enabled because I dont have a data service. Personally I think either GPS files are missing or they are not programmed correctly. I have edited the gps.config file and no success.

4. How do I get mms settings setup for t-mobile without data plan? I could send picture messages via edge with an old phone but now my new android ics phone does not allow it to be sent. I have tried pulling settings from t-mobile, but to no avail. Again, i dont nor did I ever have a data plan. I dont know if my phone just doesnt support edge or requires an internet connection or t-mobile is blocking the service? My APN settings do not allow for me to select edge as an option, either LTE or eHRPD as a Bearer?

If anyone is willing to help I thank you in advance. Im sure other people have similar questions. I will keep searching the forums for more information as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] karelson:
Hello,

I am just starting with all romes and stuff.

I hope i am posting in the right place.

I got my ATT Samsung galaxy s3 a few days ago:

1. I have downloaded CWM6.0.1.2 on it with oding pulled the battery and went to recovery.

2. then installed CM10 stable (cm-10.0.0-d2att).

3.then installed gapps-ics-20120317-signed.

4. today i found this forum http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1965290&highlight=gapp and installed the Gapps from here according to the post (http://d-h.st/sPL , which is New ZIP by garner (JB-4.2-Gapps-signed.zip) (11/11/2012).

Now I have a problem:

After those steps. when ever I press the home button I receive a message "complete action using" options are LAUNCHER or TREBUCHET and then "always or just once"

If I choose TREBUCHET I receive my phone and my setting as usual.

If I choose LAUNCHER I receive a new phone as if I installed it again with the JB-4.2-Gapps-signed.zip

a few questions:

1. does anybody know what to do and how to resolve this?

2. which Gapp works with CM10?

3.I repeated from above, steps 2 and 4 hoping install ROM and gapps , and the same happens again (I have wiped everything in CWM). how can I whip or delete or format the phone to default so I can repeat the process again? (I think when I wipe in CWM and install the CM10 again some data remains like photos or I had a problem where i did not have camera on my phone i resolved it by installing the gallery2.apk from CM10 zip - that added me camera icon and gallery icon in the phone which i did not have before and now after every re installation of the ROM they are still there) so how can I start the process from beginning so all will be wiped ?

Thank you hope you can help me....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AnTerNoZ:
if u install CM10 alias Android 4.1.* than u don't can install that Gapps pack, it is for CM10.1 alias Android 4.2.1.

if u are safe in Android and what normal should be in ur Android /system partition, u can delete all apps from AROMA Filemanager.

but the safest way is u start from begin. go into cwm and do a factory reset. this erase all data. after that use the latest Gapps from goo.im for Android 4.1.*
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] karelson:
Can you point me to gapp that is for CM10?

and also where can i find CM10.1 and his Gapps?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Florad77:
I think i can kinda help you

1.

Trebuchet and launcher are just different launchers for your phone, they provide you with different user interfaces. If trebuchet is the one that has all your settings then you can select that and select 'always' so it will autmatically do that when you press the home button. If you want to change it later you can always go to settings>applications>whatever launcher you are using>clear app defaults

2.

I'm not sure, maybe check back on the original cm10 thread and see what that says regarding GAPPS but I think you can also flash this package. Also, i believe CM10 is a jelly bean based rom so you have to flash the jellybean GAPPS package not the ics one

3.

Go to settings>storage>format sd card to wipe your external sd card

Then go to settings then backup and reset and uncheck 'Automatic Restore' and 'Backup my data' This will prevent your previous apps from re-installing. Then press Factory data reset to clear all data. After that go to CWM and wipe cache, dalvik cache, and factory data reset to completely wipe everything on your phone. After that power off and go into download mode and reflash your stock firmware.

Hope all this helps

Additional advice: try flashing a stock based custom rom, those tend to be less buggy than original roms
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] karelson:
I did what you suggested in no. 2 still have the problem with the launchers.

maybe some one knows what Gapp to use with the stable CM10 or where to get CM.1 and compatible working Gapss 4.2 for my att s3?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AnTerNoZ:
it's not a problem, if Android had more than one launcher installed u had to choose which launcher u want to use.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Zekk98:
Before I even explain my issue, I would like to clearly state that I have indeed used the search function here and used google and bing search engines to try and find a solution. It seems no one has came across this or I am not searching for the right thing.

Ok, now on to my issue at hand. I have done lots of flashing on multiple devices and so I know a fair amount when it comes to all that, but my issue is that on the Blaze It says on Samsung's website that it has 4gbs of internal storage. On my phone, I have tried gingerbread stock, Ice Cream Sandwhich on stock, and even used every Jelly Bean rom on the forums for this device. Regardless of the rom I use, stock or custom, my phone displays internal storage twice, which in any file manager shows one as the phone's internal storage, and one as the sd card/usb storage, but both have 1.4gbs of free space on a fresh install. They show up seperate, but should be the 4gbs of internal space. Another thing is if I have a micro sd in my phone it shows up in setting>storage, but if I try to use a file manager to locate it, regardless of which one I use, I cannot access my micro sd card or find it. The only place it shows up is in settings>storage, along with both seperate internal storages that have 1.4gbs of storage each. I am trying to figure out how to fix this issue so I can find a way to use my sd card for applications instead of my phone using usb storage as the sd card, which limits me to 1.4gbs of space,
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
Yeah the 4gb is like 3.72GiB which is split up with 1.4gb of user space (pictures, videos, etc), another 1.12 for apps (shared with titanium if you don't switch the backup folder location) and the rest for the system (rom, kernel, recovery etc). It does have 4gb.

In regards to your external sd card... which rom are you running? On most JB roms the external sd card path is found at /external_sd and NOT at the sdcard/external_sd that ALL the ICS roms use.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Zekk98:
Yeah, I figured it was still the 4gbs, but being split like that is stupid. As far as what rom I am using or have used, I have used both the the gingerbread stock and ice cream sandwhich stock. I have used the official CM10 latest nightly build of Jelly Bean for this device, I have used Paranoid, Baked rom, Blaz3r, and now I am using the new Pacman Jelly bean Rom, but with the same issue. I will go to those locations where you stated and it shows nothing, even if i go back one and hold down on the screen and go to properties of that folder nothing is there. And the usb storage of 1.4 is located at this directory /sdcard. And where my micro sd card should be at which is /external_sd there is nothing nor does it display the gbs of space. The micro sd card is only viewable through settings. I have tried a 2gb, an 8gb, a 16gb and a 32gb micro sd. All work fine, on my pc and a Sidekick 4g I have, and even show up on the Blaze with no errors, but I can't use any file manager to access it. The only way i can access it is through the recovery, in which case it uses the directory /sdcard and then I have no access to the usb storage like I do in the roms.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jbats:
Have you tried reformatting your external sd?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Zekk98:
Yes I have tried reformating it and I bought a brand new one and its the same problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
On GB and ICS the location for your external SD card is /sdcard/external_sd. On jelly bean it's at /external_sd. You need a root file explorer to access it (root explorer/es file explorer) in jelly bean roms.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Zekk98:
Yes, I know this, I have looked in those locations and I did have root when I used Gingerbread and Ice Cream Sandwich stock. I currently have the Pacman rom, which is a CM!) variation/Jelly Bean rom. When I use Es File Explorer or Root explorer the directory /external_sd is empty and when I backup and hold down the screen on that folder and go to properties it doesn't show any storage information. It just says 0.0mb. I have tried every directory someone has mentioned or I thought was it, and I only have the usb storage showing up, and in manage applications when I click an application's details it will ask me to move to sd card and when I do that it moves from the phone storage of 1.4gb to the usb storage of 1.4gb.

To me it seems like the OS keeps thinking the usb storage is the only sd, and it displays my actual micro sd, but doesn't actually show it in root explorer or es explorer. I am trying my best to provide as much information as possible. I posted on here because I have spent a few nights trying everything I know and can Google search to solve this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
So at the top of the screen you only see the phone icon in ES file explorer? Or does it have the phone icon and /sdcard/? You need to go into the settings in ES file explorer and check the 'root explorer' and 'up to root' in root settings or you will not be able to access the external_sd through es file explorer in JB.

There is an "external_sd" folder located in the /sdcard in jelly bean... that's not where it really is. You need to make sure you are at root / and scroll down to /external_sd. The external_sd folder in /sdcard does show 0.0mb.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Zekk98:
Yeah I already knew that you had to check 'root explorer' and 'up to root' in es explorer. I fixed the sd card issue by downloading and flashing the latest CWM recovery available for the device and formatted the sd card and internal storage, this fixed the issue. I also did a fresh install of the Pacman Jelly Bean rom and now it shows /sdcard and /external_sd and they are both properly displayed and I can explore them as I should be able to. I think the TWRP and that may have caused the problem, or when I had an older version of CWM Recovery, but after doing as I described above my issue was resolved and now the storage is displayed as it should. I tried this on the other recoveries and countless roms with no such results, so I guess a better and more up to date recovery fixed a formatting issue that was occurring.

I do thank you for all the help that has been provided, as its nice to know that the community for this device has devs and senior members of these forums willing to help people with their problems, whether they are complicated or simple.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
FWIW I think twrp may have been what caused your issue. I remember someone was having other issues I believe with paranoid android settings not working and twrp was the cause. I have been on the original cwm by shabbypenguin since the beginning and have had no issues with any rom. Glad you got it figured out:thumbup::)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] eggytoasty:
I have the same phone and have 1.40GB internal storage but I did some research at Tmobile.com and got this http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_blaze_4g_t769-4420.php and it say there is 3GB and a 4GB Micro SD. I upgraded to a 16 GB Micro SD but had some problems with CM 10 being about to access my music and etc. but I got around that today YAY!. But with the OS and other partitions that are needed 1.40 should be about right after everything. Cheers mate
