[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peleus16:
I had the same problen and fixed it. So first you will need a stock firmware of ICS (find it on google can't provide link because I am using phone...sorry) then you will need latest Flashtool version (download it on google too).

Once you have everything downloaded follow the steps.

1)Instal Flashtool (it's easy)

2)Then open it and navigate folder with name Firmwares.

3)Put in this folder the .ftf file you downloaded (I mean the stock Firmware) Plug the phone in and wait while Flashtool will recognize your phone. IF not instal ADB drivers

4)Then open Flashtool and hit the button with the lightning

5)Choose flashmode

6)Then choose the firmware you puted in the folder.

7)Follow the on-screen instructions and you have your phone back :)

Reply if I helped you!!!

i got the same problem also . i'm a total noob.

but in most unfortunate way .

my phone stucked on sony logo and keep restarting all over again .

i've unlocked the bootloader , trying to flash an ics kernel using flashtool . then it became this . i have no cwm or any recovery . help me please :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavinduSha:
u can just reflash your kernel and restore your backup from recovery. if u used x-parts or any app to install recovery it installs it to system partition. when u install a new rom it wipes your system partition.

if u haven't unlocked bootloader u have to flash stock firmware via flashtool. then install a recovery mode and restore your backup.

---------- Post added at 08:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ----------

u maybe using an incompatible kernel. try reflashing it via flashtool. if it doesn't works use fastboot commands from command prompt or a terminal.

hiiiiii...im using sony xperia U i installed many tweaks and mods on to stock ics ROM...when we back up this ROM with custom recovery does it also backup's tweaks and mods so that i can restore them..?

plzz help me guys..

Thanx in advance..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
When you do a Nandroid Backup which is what I assume you mean. Yes the Rom is backed up exactly as it currently is. Meaning that when you restore that particular Nandroid Backup, or Nand. It should be exactly as it was when you did the backup. That would include Tweaks, Mods, etc.

When I got to set a ringtone notification etc the factory tones show up twice. I go to the directory to delete them but there is only one copy there. Craziness

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrianblack:
I have had Motorola Android phones for a while and on those devices, if you have the device locked you can silence the phone just from the lock screen by moving the toggle. Very helpful feature...... it seems on my Note 2 I have to swipe, the type my PIN then use the pull down then press sound to mute my phone. So many steps compared to how it was before.

Anyone know of a way to silence right from the lock screen?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dayloooo:
The only way I can think of is by holding the Power button and choosing either "Vibrate" or "Mute".

hi

I have installed galaxy nexus toolkit . It has option of backing up my phone and I was going through few posts which allows me to backup via ADB . I have few questions regarding this.

1. Are two methods I mentioned (via toolkit and ADB different?

2. If I backup and then do restoration , will the state of my app will be restored ? Like Game scores or levels passed ?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rickbosch:
I would advise you to drop the toolkit, and follow this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1830108) guide. It'll require you to install adb and fastboot, so you will be in complete control of your device and will also empower you to fix anything which *may go wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mortenmhp:
To actually answer your question, 1. yes the toolkit just inputs the adb backup command for you and 2. yes that is usually the meaning of the word backup... (some apps like cut the rope do however check whether it's the same installation, and these will ignore data that have been copied directly)

But please take the time to install adb yourself and get comfortable with the commands yourself, that way you will also be able to fix any problems that may arise yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Drop the toolkit.

and there is a nandroid function on the toolkit, will be a better option......................................

And once again, drop the toolkit..

re

adb backup -apk -noshared -all -nosystem

I am trying this command to backup my app data . But it is not working it just list all the commands available. My Adb is installed perfectly . Because SD card PULL command worked
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dchn2:
you forgot to name your backup file, which is done by the paramater -f

adb backup -f C:\name_of_your_backup.ab -apk -noshared -all -nosystem

you can name the output anything you like and put it to any folder you desire. just specify those after "-f" . don't forget to enable usb debug in your phone and i would recommend to check "stay awake" as well during the procedure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adithyavr:
i tried with the exact code "adb backup -f C:\name_of_your_backup.ab -apk -noshared -all -nosystem" but it still just lists all the commands there. For some reason it is not recognizing the command . It did for pull .

Funny thing is in that complete listing I cannot see backup command anywhere ? this might help but I installed adb AIO which was available . Can that cause problem ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dchn2:
what version of adb do you have? check with command "adb version". you need adb version 1.0.29 or newer to have adb backup and restore function.

btw, if you have the toolkit from mskip, adb has been renamed to adb-toolkit and that one is at least 1.0.29 as i recall.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adithyavr:
oh :( mine is adb 1.0.26 . Can you guide me to the proper adb download . Also if I install android sdk , will I get the adb ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dchn2:
you can grab the latest version from google. it's a big download (~390Mb) so if you only need adb or fastbook then i would just use those bundled with the galaxy nexus toolkit. unzip the downloaded file to anywhere you like, and the adb command can be found in sub-folder "platform-tools". that's all you need.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adithyavr:
adb backup -f C:\backone.ab -apk -noshared -all -nosystem

I downloaded the latest ADB it did back up perfectly .but in C:\ there is no file called backone.ab
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dchn2:
nothing comes up if you type the following in your computer?

dir c:\ /a:h

i can only speculate that windows recognise ".ab" file as system file and hide it. you can name your backup with any extension you like, and people often use ".bak" instead. output your backup to a folder instead of the root direction may also help (-f c:\backup\whatever_name_you_called.bak, for example).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adithyavr:
I searched my system and found out that it is stored in Local/AppData i wonder why. Btw , I just unlocked my device . It said said it will wipe my data out .

I flashed the CM10 JellyBean ROM onto my phone after doing the custom rooted kernel then installing CWM etc etc....

But now using Apollo (Custom Music Player?) That is built in. It worked the first time, but after closing the app or restarting the phone it always crashes.

Not sure what the problem is, or if its not supported or what but I love it a lot better than the "stock" one or if its not even stock whatever it may be, the "Play Music" app....

And I haven't experienced with any market ones paid or free because I don't want to mess with them.

Any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DJLarBear:
Figured out if you goto Settings -> Apps -> All -> Apollo and then Force Stop, clear cache/data it will load perfectly fine. Also uninstalled all the skins I downloaded dont know if that helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DJLarBear:
Other questions also since I have a thread going lol...

Why do the album pictures look so grainy? But in the "Play Music" app they look good?

Also some of the album artwork gets mismatched in the "Albums" section.

I am just going to assume that Apollo is something new and is still under a lot of development, in love with it and considering a generous donation ;)

Ongoing developments... When the phone restarts, my Beautiful Widgets disappear and I have to manually replace them... Very annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
Guys,

I found something, which you found or not already. Here is the Safe mode for Our Galaxy R mobile.

How to boot Android 4.1+ into Safe Mode

One of the lesser known, but potentially very useful new features in Android 4.1 and higher (aka Jelly Bean), is the option to boot your device into Safe Mode. This is a power-user feature which can help you to get rid of rogue apps and troubleshoot issues. Getting into Safe Mode is relatively easy, although the method can vary depending on what device you have and how the UI is set up.

How to boot Android 4.1+ into Safe Mode..?? [ For stock JB - which is not introduced for Galaxy R yet]

"The standard way to get into Safe Mode is to hold down the power button on your device until the shut down dialog box pops up, then press and hold the power off option in the menu. This should lead to another dialog box asking you if you want to reboot into Safe Mode.

How to boot Android 4.1+ into Safe Mode..?? [ For CM10 & based on ROM over it]

"The standard way to get into Safe Mode is to hold down the power button on your device until the shut down dialog box pops up, then press and hold the restart option in the menu. This should lead to another dialog box asking you if you want to reboot into Safe Mode.

If your UI doesn't deal with the power off options like this, or if you have an older device (which has somehow been updated to Jelly Bean), you can reboot and then hold the volume up and volume down buttons at the same time to enter Safe Mode. When in Safe Mode, the words "Safe Mode" will show at the bottom of the screen.

Why I need the safe mod..??

Safe Mode will cause your device to boot up, and load only the Android system, no 3rd-party apps. So, if you've had an app that is causing lots of troubles, this could make it much easier to remove the app. And, if you're having issues with your device this could also help figure out if the issue is due to a 3rd-party app or not.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
Safe mode eliminates the app present in the app drawer..

but if you have an app shortcut on your home screen... you can use them..!!

Unfortunately there's an unforgivable flaw in the design. The case blocks the speakers. Most of the speaker grill has a cutout. But the part at the top where the speaker actually is isn't cutout and it blocked by the part of the case that holds the tablet in place muffling the sound by roughly 50%.

It really sucks because the case is good quality. it's very good besides this issue. I'm really honestly surprised it wasn't noticed in testing.

I'd avoid this case. I'm sending this one back.

I received my case today. I'm no audiophile, but the speaker being slightly covered didn't bother me at all. We were able to watch some YouTube videos without maxing the volume and it sounded fine. $8.99 was a steal
[Nexus 10 Accessories] tywilson:
I personally just don't see the reason to cover the speakers. It was not necessary to the design of the case. I will get the frameless case because I personally notice a big difference in fidelity. Having speakers pointing straight at you with no obstructions is always going to sound a lot better than with something covering the speaker grill and redirecting the sound away from you. The case that doesn't block the speakers is like $13 on amazon so even if you're not an audiophile I would suggest going that route anyway.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] scooterboy5:
This case showed up yesterday - perfect for my needs. I use the tablet in landscape mode 95% of the time.

The tabs grip the tablet tightly, and don't cover any buttons or speakers. It closes flat, and the sleep/wake-up works perfectly.

Today I got this sleeve in the mail:

The N10 in the above case fits in the sleeve perfectly - a tiny bit snug sliding it in and out, but that will loosen up over time. The tablet pocket is zippered, the small pocket is zippered and the larger pocket has a velcro close. Small pocket is perfect to keep chargers, OTG cables, etc. Very pleased.

[Nexus 10 Accessories] Sardonik:
The pics on Amazon seem to indicate that this, the Poetic HardBack, the Bluerex Ultra Slim and the i-Blason Slim look almost exactly the same.

Does the fastener hook directly to the tablet as with my i-Blason? Also, does the case fold back flat or 99% flat? Just trying to figure out if either this or the Poetic are significantly better than the i-Blason, which I find OK but not perfect.

I have the Poetic version and have a heck of a time getting the bottom two tabs to fit on the bottom corners of the N10. It keeps slipping out.

Extremely tight fit trying to get it on. Even the magnetic tab is hard to get closed and open.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] scooterboy5:
I don't know if the supcase is the same as the poetic, but mine doesn't have either of those problems. The bottom two tabs are tight enough to hold the corners but the bottom come out with relative ease. The clasp is the same - tight enough to hold it shut but not hard to open.

Can you bend the tabs a bit to make them work just right?
[Nexus 10 Accessories] escosk8r:
Same problem. I receieved my sup case FINALLY after about 20 days after ordering it on Amazon and both bottom 2 tabs keep slipping out of position. This is a great case but obviously wasn't designed flawlessly, this could get annoying quick, having to constantly reposition the bottom tabs every time I open the case.....

I didn't mess with it but thought of doing that also.
