[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onevivip:
I'll try that tomorrow since it's already past midnight here where I live. Is there any way to turn the phone off? Cos it just keeps on rebooting up everytime I close it. Or is it okay if I just leave it on the boot screen. Will the battery run out?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onevivip:
OK I managed to get this thing back working finally. What I did was flash it back to a stock ROM. I couldn't find my original version but close enough, except this version, 4.1.1 doesn't seem to be available (but thats not a big deal).

Now I'm too scared to try root it again lol...

And thanks for all the suggestions!!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onevivip:
Follow up question:

Root attempt 2 = successful :D

I tried to install CyanogenMod 10 (via Odin). Except the device got stuck in the CyanogenMod spinning boot screen. Restored it via backup for now. Any idea why this is happening?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blooxx:
I remember it takes some time for everything to load first time,maybe 5 or 10 minutes,also I think it`s better to use cwm to flash custom roms! just use odin for root and stock roms!

just move the file on the sdcard and boot in cwm,let it do his thing and then wait a bit!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onevivip:
Yeah tried again via CWM and everything is working fine. Thanks for the advice!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AngeleDei:
I saw this on the carphone warehouse website listed as "brown".

As far as I'm aware, there is no such thing as a brown Nexus 7...in fact I've found a quote attributed to a Google employee who says that is the case. The Nexus 7 is one colour only (there was a white one available at some sort of event, but not for the public) and any website that says otherwise is wrong.

I think the issue possibly comes from the Nexus 7 being "actually" a very dark brown...but so dark brown that it looks black as far as I can tell. I've also heard that the label on the box for the Nexus 7 says they are brown, but I'd have to check in my attic to be able to confirm that.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon12345:
Or is that because you got a brown one and not a black one?

It seems odd that this is such a popular device but there is dispute over what colour it is!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinx100:
Mine has a very dark brown back. You only realize it is brown if you hold something truly black next to it. The color is like a 99% cocoa dark chocolate bar.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Tacoru:
Hi all,

I recently bought my TX overseas, and updated to 3.197. It was fine for the first few days, until today, I turned on my phone, it came up with a blank screen.

All the functions seems to be working fine, even the touch screen, except that the screen itself is blank. I don't know what is wrong with it. I live in New Zealand, and I bought the phone in Taiwan a few weeks ago, and they don't sell TX or T in NZ, and I don't have a way to repair unless I go to somewhere that sells TX, or fly to Taiwan and get it fixed. :crying:

I called Sony in Taiwan, and did everything they suggested me to do, including repairing through PCcompanion, resetting, waiting for a few hours then turning it on again and the screen is still blank. Is there anyone that knows a way to fix this or have experienced similar problem?

I really want to be able to use my phone again. Any help would be truly appreciated!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] djfuego:
RTB

I thought My phone died a week after I updated via Sony companion. Just needed to turn it off an on. Hold Power and Volume up until it reboots. If you have done this already I can't say I have much hope for it and return to base.

Have you not insured the phone?

In the UK you are asking for trouble if you don't insure your phone.

Sounds like you will need to pay for a recommended repair centre to fix it. Sony should be able to give you a list of contacts near you if you have to send your handset abroard then it's what you have to do.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] paullu:
****!! don't scared me I just bought tx today.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chibikit:
Did you try any of the following?

1) Install a stock .FTF using Flashtool, preferably the 7.0.A.1.307 firmware that came with the phone.

2) Downloading the Sony Ericcson Update Service program and using that to force an update to .3.197?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] spife:
I am having exactly the same issue today. The phone is working but not the screen. The backlight, touch panel are all functional except the lcd panel. Could this be caused by the cable connector?

By the way, I don't think it has anything to do with firmware upgrade. Mine has been running the latest firmware for weeks until today.

Update: I opened the phone and checked all cable connectors and they are all firmly connected...Maybe the screen is busted... OP, were you using the oem battery?

Update 2: atteched some teardown pictures of xperia tx.

What is the difference between FreeXperia Project distribution and regular CM10 downloaded from CM?

I have been trying to find out the best ROM for my Xperia T and I am ready to install FXP 149 but I am not sure is this a good choice.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Id Arcanum:
none, nightlies are from CM, and FXP is weekly release.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] matexone:
Is FXP149 fully functional or should I wait for a major release? Is FXP system rooted by the default? Can I update it in the future only by flashing a new ROM or by an update service, too?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Id Arcanum:
well there are some minior issues, look at FXP website.. but it is mostly functional. it is rooted. you flash newer version of CM10 on top of it (nightlies or FXP releases).

going back to Sony ROM, you need flashtool and .ftf.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] m4nz:
FXP releases each week and there will be minor bug fixes in each releases.. but still fxp releases will have bugs,,,
[General Questions and Answers] schumischumi:
Hi,

i've got a noob question so please be patient.

i have installed jellytime R27 and want to upgrade (with full wipe) to R29.

now i'm not sure, if the apps i installed on the R27 jellytime rom from the gapps store will be automatically redownloaded after i installed the gapps store on the new R29 rom.

do i have to enable some setting or is it impossible cause the play store would not recognize the phone with the new rom?

the "similar threads" did't answer my question and titanium backup seams not to be recommended with jellytime.

thx for your time

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aurox1:
Hey guys I installed Omega rom 7.2 the other day and it was awesome but somehow notifications and web install from play store didn't work anymore probably because I restored a complete backup from stock rom. So I just reinstalled omega rom again this time no restoring and notifications work but play store web install still won't work. Can anyone help?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
Go into Applications settings and clear cache and data for Play store, then reboot.

Should fix it.
[Wildfire General] alamgirqazi:
Ok, here are some tips to improve your mobile's performance.

1) Root your phone if u haven't.it voids warranty though. And it worth it.

2)install/flash cyanogenmod 7.2 (cm7) i prefer nightly .it's very good.

3) use Launcherpro coz of its very fast speed. Also customize it abit by increasing scrolling speed and app opening speed. You'll feel the difference at once.

Adw launcher is also good.

Liightning launcher is fast and very customizable but u have to set it up first.

4) don't install any task killer app coz android itself does that job for you.

5) before doing anything e.g rooting or overclocking, READ ALOT, yes, you must read alot through different forums about what you want to do. Don't rush into anything unless you don't know what you are doing.

6) clear cache oftenly using cache mate (for root users only )

7) keep backup of your apps and data using titanium backup or Go backup.

8) use setcpu for overclocking. I use max 729 min 352.

Use app No frills Cpu control

Governor: smartassv2 for cyanogen and smartass for stock for better performance and battery.

9) disable autocorrect coz if heard that it does slows your wildfire.

10) dont just try different roms if you're a beginner. Cm7.2 is just perfect in terms of speed and performance.

11) use Go sms pro because it is more interactive than default messaging app on any rom.

12) best sense rom is rempuzzle rom while best aosp rom is cyanogenmod 7.2.

13) Best file explorer ( sdcard + root ) are Es File Explorer (free) and Solid Explorer ( paid ).

Oi File Explorer is best for sdcard only.

14) Nova launcher is the best ICS launcher.

15) always make a nandroid backup of a rom if u flash different roms.

16) in terms of battery saving, best rom is kwbr rom.

17) rempuzzle is another great sense rom with improved GUI. Jokerdroid 4.2 and 4.3 are also great.

18) fastest browser is Opera mini.

19) you must have xda android app :)

20) avoid using Rom Manager. Always use Recovery.

21) learn about link2sd if u prefer cyanogenmod.

22) best video player is MX player. Alternative is QQplayer.

23) best music player is Simply Music for me.

24) u can have beats audio in all roms e.g kwbr rom

25) best twitter apps are tweakdeck, twicca and official twitter app.

26) for Facebook, use "friendcaster for facebook"

27) try Flow Bridges and Flow Connect. Very addictive games, including super flow free (numberlink)

28) if u love auto correction/prediction than use swift keyboard.

29) for gallery use Quickpic.

30) if u wanna experience windows phone 7 then use Launcher7 or launcher 8.

31) for Google news, try g-news app.

32) screen filtre. Must have app. Reduce brightness for using mobile at night.

33) if u use more than 1 launchers than use app twisted home manager to toggle b/w launchers.

34) try drag racing game. Very much fun.( Note: for better performance, u must overclock).

35) for screenshots, use app "screenshot ux"

That's all for now.

Would love your suggestions too.

Press thanks if u find any tip helpfull :)
[Wildfire General] alamgirqazi:
As I said that I was going to continue this thread, here are few screen shots on how to perform trick 4 which is opmizing launcherpro.

On homescreen, click on menu > preferences > advanced settings

And do this : 1) increase minimum scrolling speed.

2) vincrease opening speed (both of them) ...

See the sceenshot. Thank you

[Wildfire General] Brute.Force:
Beats audio can be installed in any rom. Look in the rempuzzle thread for download link.

You should also mention bravia engine for HTC wildfire
[Wildfire General] alamgirqazi:
Never really used Bravia Engine nor did i specifically flashed beats audio. I was happy that i had it pre installed in kwbr rom.

I didnt see any difference coz u have dsp manager, u can also see the difference.
[Wildfire General] miniAndroidian:
"avoid rom manager always use recovery"

wh00t?

ROM Manager is a great software. I miss it on my Nexus 4. And it doesn't brick the wf or whatever.I think thats the easiest way to flash a rom
[Wildfire General] alamgirqazi:
That's your choice. I think Rom Manager is not needed.
