[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dlnp22:
I've been rooting for the past 4 years, so I'm not a COMPLETE idiot. But I have no idea how I did what I just did. (Well, I do, but I'm in denial :)

I've used exhange for work email for last year and a half. Over this past weekend, I couldn't get in to email, and kept getting a popup to encrypt. I figured I had to, to get to my email(and probably so). So, I did it. And then realized I couldn't get into Recovery. In full agitation mode, and while in recovery, I fruitlessly tried wiping, and just as fruitlessly, tried to get to my data to try and just flash a new ROM over it(couldn't do either, because of the encrypted data). SOMEHOW, I freaking managed to format system by the time I was done.

SO, in summation- I can get to recovery, can't restore a backup, can't get to my data, and can't get my phone to boot.

What the crap do I do now? :) From what I've read, it would appear I have to unroot and flash a stock/unrooted image, is that correct? Will I wipe out all data on the phone in the process? Can someone push me in the right direction for the easiest way to do it? (keeping in mind, can't get my frigging data, nor can I mount).

Oy Vey.

Many thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fabrizziop:
I think you should download a stock image from google at https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images and just install it. I assume you can still get in fastboot mode. Of course you

will

lose your data, and I don't think you can omit flashing the userdata because I think you will wipe the encryption salt. I think someone with more expertise should answer this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] times_infinity:
You could try flashing TWRP through fastboot. I think it has support for decryption. I'd look it up first though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dlnp22:
+1 on TWRP! Back from the dead. GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Now on to to this freaking pesky encryption. What a mistake.

At least now I can copy my data off the phone, then wipe/revert to stock to get rid of the encryption(I hope?) then re-root.

I rooted well before the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit came out. Assuming there's a one click(or multiple clicks :)) for unrooting and rooting?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] times_infinity:
You could just flash the factory images, flash recovery through fast boot afterwards, and flash a superuser zip if you're gonna run stock rooted or just flash ROM of choice.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unarmed:
Hello,

I seem to have myself a faulty S2. It charges fine from the wall charger but when i plug in a data cable nothing happens and it isnt recognised by windows and nothing appears on screen. It doesn't even charge from USB unless I turn it off and start it up again with the USB cable already connected. I have tried multiple data cables and operating systems. In linux lsusb lists nothing, even when it's charging after being rebooted. It is a stock ROM and has no warrenty

It is model GT-I9100

Android Version 2.3.5

Baseband I9100NEKI2

Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI8-CL616395

build GINGERBREAD.XWKI8

Does anyone know if this is a known fault or if there are any fixes before I open the thing up and try to clean the USB connector, probably breaking the phone in the process.... :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crzr:
did you tried to put it in download mode and connect to pc? see if it's recognized. and if goes well flash a freshly stock ROM and see if it works
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king_below_my_lord:
What crzr, said its most likely to be a software problem I had a friend who had the same problem (but it was working fine at first) he flashed it and everything is OK... Hope you get it working...

Using GT - I9100

I thank those who give helpful comments
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdan1980:
Soft problem or broken csc. Flash rom again fixed this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unarmed:
Thanks folks, I though it would be hardware. Flashing might be hard, its not recognised in download mode either. I can get into recovery. I suppose i could try and install mobile odin and see where that takes me. :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crzr:
OK it happened to me and the problem disappeared by reflashing stock ROM wiping all my data. but of course first I'd made a backup of all
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ou814us2:
Ok... So I have the Blueant Q2 and i'm having problems with the quality. When connected listening to music, if I put the phone in my pocket the BT cuts in and out.. Not to mention if I walk a few feet from my phone. When I had my Vibrant I could walk atleast 30ft with out issue. I have the Ballistics case installed. I didn't know if I was the only person having this issue. Could it be a modem issue. I have had the BT replaced thinking it was bad and have reset it many times trying to clear the problem but no go. I thanks for any assistance.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] J-ROCK:
What rom / kernel your running?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ou814us2:
Wicked... Stock kernel.. But it did the same thing with frosty and stock stock.. Thinking maybe I try with out the case.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] J-ROCK:
I actually have the same case. And never had issues with BT connection only audio quality as in a static sound but with KT kernel and Ktweaker it gives an option to bump up your min MHZ when BT is paired and usually clears up the static for me. Although on some occasions on my JVC head unit it will disconnect and reconnect when in use thats about it but that's rare.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erinaceous:
Hey everybody, I have been using a refurb I9000 for over a year now. After a year of being knocked about, it's still a great phone. I'm running Slim Bean on it at the moment and its handling it great :D

Unfortunately, a couple months back, the power button stopped working. The phone was acting weird one weekend and stuck in a bootloop - think some water got in it on a night out. Took it apart and stuck it in a bowl for a week, which fixed it and it's been working fine ever since :) except for the power button.

The button works if you press it repeatedly for like quarter of an hour, but I'm scared I'm wearing it down even more by doing that. Without that button, I can't switch my phone on or do the 3-finger salute.

Right now, if I want to reboot or go into recovery mode, I have to use the buttons in the notification bar. If it runs out of battery, when I plug it in I can still get into download mode by holding the menu button + volume down. To get it into normal mode I have to plug it into a computer with Heimdall installed and get it to print diagnostics 'print-pit), which makes the phone reboot out of download mode into a normal boot. It's not an ideal solution!

When my phone dies when I'm on the road, I'm phoneless for several days.

I'm pretty confident I've voided my warranty on this phone loong ago, plus trying to get a replacement is the easy way out ;)

I've seen custom 'battery charge mode' firmware out there- you know the screen you get when the phone is switched off and you plug it into a charger? Somebody had written a custom one of those screens with extra useful information on it. I can't remember what it was called though! Google hasn't been useful at all in finding it, either. I've also noticed the charging screen looks different on my Slim Bean ROM compared to the stock one. So it must be something that's fairly easy to customize...

With that in mind, I might try hacking the charge screen to listen to the menu + volume control buttons and be able to boot the phone that way.

Either that or I make a USB jig that can send enough bits to the phone in download mode to get it to reboot...

But as I'm only good at breaking hardware, I think I'll stick to software hacking for now.

Does anyone know the name of that custom battery charging screen I mentioned? Maybe there's more than one? If I can get ahold of them I can hopefully find out how they work.

This is a pretty specific + techy question, so apologies mods if this is in the wrong section! I don't think I'm allowed to make threads in the Android dev. forums yet though- you need to have over a certain number of posts for that, right?

Hey guys, just wondering how many of you guys are experiencing a 1-2 second delay after pressing the power button on a 4.2.1 custom rom (toro).

I dont have a GSM to test, but on my toro, it is noticible. The animation starts about 2 seconds after i press the power button. By the lack of anyone asking the question here, I'm starting to believe that it is just my phone, but I dont want to go back to 4.1 just to try this out :D

UPDATE: I see a few others seeing this too...sooooo..never mind :P

For some reason when I check the Battery section in Settings whenever in charging my phone with a wall outlet with a LG charger it shows that I'm being charged as USB and not AC... Is this normal? Even now my phone is losing battery strength and I'm barely using it..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:
You have to use a 1amp charger or its not strong enough doesn't matter who makes it...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
You have to use an official Sammy charger. The pins are switched around on Sammy chargers and the phone can tell the difference. Use ANY other charger, no matter the brand or amperage, and the phone will only charge at 350mah. Use a Sammy charger, and it will charge at the full 750mah or 1amp depending on the output of the charger. I have a stock 700mah Sammy charger, a 1amp iPhone charger, a few HTC chargers and 2 amp Sammy tablet charger. If I use the 1 amp Apple charger or any of the HTC chargers it takes 5-8 hours to fully charge. If I use the Sammy chargers it takes 2-3 hours to fully charge at the max. So.. yea. Get a stock Samsung charger.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:
I use all kinds of chargers and I have no problems...actually the htc charger charges faster than the Samsung one...I'm an electronics tech...trust me just make sure it's 1amp

Straight from TDJ himself. The phone CAN tell. Like I said I have several chargers and only the Sammy ones charge super fast. Not only that but working in a T-Mobile corporate store, I see the same thing everyday at work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:
Oh so I'm lying really like what would I have to gain from that... So it's an illusion that my charger is actually working I'm just dreaming
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Never said they wouldn't work...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:
I have a Walmart HTC and LG charger and they all work superfast charge my phone in one hour from 50 percent and the Samsung one takes twice as long...the only phone that has a fast charge cable is all the new htcs...Google it...and I wouldn't listen to everything Derek says anyway
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
OK now I know you're full of ****. I have a 2amp Samsung tablet charger that doesn't even charge the phone that fast. It takes 3 hours at the minimum for this phone to go from 0% to a full charge.

Also you wouldn't trust everything Derek says?? You're a noob bro. TDJ has been around since the mytouch days and even though he's gone his evolution series of ROMs for this phone are still the most popular with his ROM thread having over 1 million views. Check yourself dude. Not only that, if you actually clicked the link you'd see that the info he provided was pulled straight from the kernel. He wasn't making it up...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:
Yeah that's why he never finished any of it and bailed like 3 times and left everyone hanging...and if I am such a noob then why have I been here as long as you...? I didn't start this I was just trying to help someone out...you are the reason these forums suck...and why Derek's thread was full of fighting...you don't know me and you should keep out of someone helping someone if you have nothing nice to say....

---------- Post added at 03:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------

Oh and two amp charger is not going to make your phone charge faster the phone will only charge as fast as it can you only need one amp ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Yes DUH. Because if you read the damn link I posted it CLEARLY says the kernel only allows the phone to charge at 900mah an hour or whatever the charger is rated at if it's below that number.

I'm not arguing with you anymore dude. Not only are you full of it but you apparently like to lie too. Your phone, no matter what charger you use, won't charge as fast unless you're using the Samsung charger. And even then, at 900mah an hour, it still takes almost 3 hours to fully charge with the phone on.

Also you're a flat out non appreciative douche. If it wasn't for TDJ lots would still be broken on this phone. You have plenty to thank him for and maybe if you played attention to what was going on in his threads you would understand why he left and came back a few times. YOU are what's wrong with xda. Making absurd claims that not only myself but PLENTY of other members know are untrue and criticizing others, especially recognized developers, without contributing a damn thing yourself.

Also let me add that you haven't been here longer than I have. You started your account on June 1st 2008, I started mine in March of 2008. Your idiocy is unfathomable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:
O wow 3 whole months now you show you arrogance...anyone on here who has a Samsung phone will testify the fact that their phone charge just fine and just as fast of any charger they use that is one amp anybody disagrees with this let them come forward...just look it up... What the OP stated that his phone was discharging while using and all I did was try to help him and tell him the reason why that was happening...and your three months doesn't make you smarter than me.... Why don't you show proof of an article or a link that tells anybody on here at Samsung Chargers are the only charger that will charger phone properly... Besides Samsung that will tell you that just because they want you to buy their charger

Hello,

Got a Motorola Droid Razr Maxx BR xt910, rooted.

Firmware: GAS_LA_SPYDERICSMAXRETBRLA_P002 version 4.0.4.

I need to record calls simply and with good quality. Already tested dozens of applications, but the most we got was record on handsfree the microphone, which is not acceptable for quality and because it is not always feasible chat by handsfree.

Does anyone have a solution? Do you know if this is hardware limitation? Or only limitation is the software version of Motorola?

I appreciate the attention and help.

Best Regards,

Marcio.

[Droid RAZR M Themes and Apps] cpupeli1:
any idea of an app that would do this? I used to use RECOROID on my droid incredible back in the day, dunno if thats still around or compatible with my M
[Droid RAZR M Themes and Apps] Germanese:
RECOROID is still around but i think it didn't pass the regulations.

Remember it is illegal to record ppl with out knowing. Or something like that.

That might be the reason it is not found easily in the app store if at all.

So your best bet is look into a modified RECOROID apk version that has that option back unlock for ICS or JB.

Or other custom apk that don't come through the app store ?
[Droid RAZR M Themes and Apps] heyazzo:
Germanese,

In many states like Arizona, it is legal, and admissible in many courts to record a phone conversation. If you are party to the conversation, totally legal.
[Droid RAZR M Themes and Apps] Germanese:
That's true, but remember i said something like that.

It may be and not here and there. Hence probably the reason of it not being in the app store.

Because it is legal in some states and not in others. So they removed it in total.

But I am pretty sure modding the APK of the old program mentioned would give him the desired effect.
[Droid RAZR M Themes and Apps] Jersey846:
Wouldn't it be the responsibility of the user and not the app dev of whether or not the use of the device was used legally? To me that seems like holding Samuel Adams responsible for a drunk driver... But I'm no expert on the law.
[Droid RAZR M Themes and Apps] Jersey846:
The topic of recording phone calls was recently covered on a Lifehacker podcast. Here are the links to some of the apps they recommended. You have to scroll down, but there are 4 or 5 different apps listed for those interested. You can also take a listen to their podcast for the discussion.

omg.....finally an app that actually worked to record both sides for once (Sanity). After trying about 10 other apps, one actually works without any other tweaks.

Just remember though, free version only records 2-3min. Donate version removes the limits and turns on other options. Even though the app hasn't been updated in almost 2 years, so far its been worth it just to find a recording app that works and includes a good amount of other options.

[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Hello guys. I'b back to my favourite pastime, ie working out common things between the issues.

The goal is to gather some data to make sure phone we have is good quality one.

My biggest concern is crappy battery life and how it ties with cpu temperature. More heat more consumption, right? There is more to it, but that gives a simpler explanation.

Anyway, let's collect some reference data. First of all install some cpu temp monitoring app/widget. I use System Tuner myself which allows me to create handy widgets. Then monitor it when using browsing, xda app and 2d games. Ie, hit home button in the middle of playing/browsing and have a glance. Do it in room temperature (18-21 celsius) for consitency between results. Then post average reception, screen on time and time off the charger and remaining battery. Finally, your setup.

Here is an example. Real life results i will provide tomorrow.

WiFi on all the time

Browsing(chrome) 37-41c

XDA app 29-35c

Game. 41-49c

Reception 1-2 bars

Screen on 3h2m

Off charger 12h17m 13%

Stock
[Nexus 4 General] lifeinpictures:
Forgive my ignorance, but how do I get these results you speak of? I've just downloaded System Tuner and it's a bit overwhelming in options to be honest.
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Thanks for trying.

It's simple. Place widget (1x1)on one of the home screens, click on widget, settings, widget, choose one of the values (top, middle or bottom) as cpu temp and exit. That's it. Quite customisable so you can play around with it later to make it fit your setup. I have it like that (middle left)

Quite surprised by results considering poor reception. I'm starting to thing it IS due to poor reception mainly. I use battery monitor widget and it shows a lot higher drain%/h when reception is low.

"I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters"
[Nexus 4 General] dcdttu:
My $0.02: It's not reception. My Galaxy Nexus was GREAT about not draining the battery when in a low or no signal area. Also, my work's building is also a T-Mobile tower, so I have full bars all the time and my battery just drains away, even while in standby.
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
It's not ONLY down to reception, here I agree. There are a few things that drain battery, forums are full of threads about them. But reception IS a major factor when it comes to good or bad battery life, that's just how things work.
