[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Root should not be needed since most roms are rooted by default.

Did you flash gapps?
[HTC One X] zettez:
No, I have not. Maybe I should give it a try? Or is it not required? Should I not be able to start the phone without any gapps?

Do you by chance have any ROM you can recommend that works so I could try it out and exclude problems? Would very like to know if it is my phone or ROM that is buggy.
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
It should boot without them, but better to give it a try.

Ironically, I've been using CM10 for more than a month now and never had any problems booting. :)

If you have an hboot newer than 1.12 you need a different boot.img, check the bottom if the ROM OP.
[HTC One X] zettez:
Would you mind telling me which CM10 build you are using and which boot.img you flashed?
[HTC One X] zettez:
I have hboot 1.3 or something I think. I downloaded the different builds at get.cm. Where can I get the boot.img if not the one in the zip file? Do you mean whichever thread that CM have posted themselves here on xda? Would you mind sending a link to where I can find the boot.img?
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Normally it would be found in the bottom of CM10 threads OP but the link is down.

Here you go:

Remember to repack it with the one found in zip. Repack tool stickied on android development forum.

[HTC One X] zettez:
Thanks, but still a no go. What I did was take the modified boot from your link and the boot.img from the zip file, do the online converter as stickied on the forum, then did the procedure all again but this time I flashed the new boot.img I got from combining the old and the new boot.img. Still hangs at boot. Very annoying. I am currently using a modified stock ROM and I dislike it very much.
[HTC One X] irundaia:
Hey,

I have exactly the same issue. I've unlocked my bootloader using the method as specified by htcdev.com. Then I flashed the newest CWM recovery. But if I flash any ROM, I'm stuck at its boot animation. However if I then unzip the boot.img from the ROM, and flash that (fastboot flash boot boot.img), my phone won't boot past HTC screen. Even erasing the cache didn't help (fastboot erase cache).

I've restored the stock ROM using the RUU, however during the process something went wrong and it formatted my sd-card. So I'm stuck with the stock ROM, without any applications or data.

Can anybody help me flash CM10?

My Hboot version is 1.36.0000

And I'm trying to flash the cm-10-20121210-NIGHTLY-endeavoru.zip ROM.

Thanks in advance :)

[HTC One X] zettez:
You cannot use the boot.img that comes with the zip out of the box if you have Hboot 1.36. What you have to do is repack it, taking the boot.img from the zip file and then a modified boot.img here http://xdaforums.com/show...postcount=9173 (thanks TToivanen), then as I understood it, repack it for instance here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1815607, download the repacked boot.img and flash that.

With that said, I could not get it running but it might be something wrong with my phone. Please try this out and tell me if it works or not so I may start to conclude where the error lies.
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Sorry, but all I can say is that you did a mistake at some point.

Try installing again with full wipe and remember to wipe cache and dalvik.

You are referring to the official CM10 and not Trip's or any other builds right?
[HTC One X] zettez:
Will try again. I got the latest build from http://get.cm/?device=endeavoru. Will try cm-10-20121213-NIGHTLY-endeavoru.zip as it came out today.
[HTC One X] irundaia:
I did that and now my phone is still stuck on the HTC screen. Trying to restore my backup of the stock ROM atm.

---------- Post added at 04:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

hmm the backup was useless... Off to the RUU it is....
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
You flashed the stock boot.img before restoring?
[HTC One X] zettez:
I see, then it is not only I who have this problem.

And a heads up, if the backup would go wrong, I currently use this ROM and it works pretty good if you want stock or cannot be arsed to get a root exploit for the stock ROM. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2035203.

Would be great if anyone has any ideas why irundaia and I cannot make CM10 work?
[HTC One X] irundaia:
You're right, I forgot to do that. I does boot now, still at a loss though. Can't we downgrade our Hboot to a version in which we know that CM can be flashed?
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Kinda out of ideas here...

Can you confirm that the boot.img flashes ok? (should say OKAY)

Also confirm that you have endeavoru and not evita.
[HTC One X] zettez:
I can confirm both.
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Not possible to downgrade. It should install just fine on newer hboots also.
[HTC One X] irundaia:
I guess so. The terminal yields the following output:

irundaia$ fastboot flash boot boot-repacked.img

sending 'boot' (3446 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.416s]

writing 'boot'...

(bootloader) Format partition LNX done

OKAY [ 0.418s]

finished. total time: 0.833s

And I'm trying to flash cm-10-20121210-NIGHTLY-endeavoru.zip

I really appreciate your help :)
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Either one of you (or both)

Run

adb logcat

Then try to boot and upload to pastebin.

Not sure if it'll work though.
[HTC One X] irundaia:
Should we first flash CM again?
[HTC One X] zettez:
Tried adb logcat before and it just says it cannot find the bash on the device.

I just remembered I had forgot to flash the gapps as you suggested I should do before TToivanen. I can currently not flash the device, so irundaia can you try to flash it and see if that is the problem? Read on many ROMs now that they require gapps.

EDIT: Link came from here.
[HTC One X] irundaia:
I'll try, however my internet provider is working on our connection. My download speed is down to 50kbps. It might take a while to download (currently 35 mins remaining).

As for the output of adb logcat:

http://pastebin.com/Z2x0bLRh
[HTC One X] zettez:
Could you run

and paste that one? In the log I can see a lot of debug message and junk, and if you specify *:W you will log everything that has a level of Warning or higher, skipping verbose, unnecessary stuff.
[HTC One X] irundaia:
Sure. I think I need to reflash CM though, I don't think it appears anywhere in the current log.

http://pastebin.com/gbYj80Ga
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Sorry, forgot to mention. :eek:
[HTC One X] irundaia:
Correct me if I'm silly... Flashed CM10 again (incl. gapps), erased dalvic cache and cache partion, then flashed the repacked boot.img and rebooted.

I'm still stuck at the HTC screen, and I cannot execute adb logcat. So if I'm correct, I simply cannot reach my log files. Restoring my backup would also replace the current log would it not?

---------- Post added at 06:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:15 PM ----------

I tried to gain access through the adb shell. But I even cannot find the location where coarse logfiles should be. Furthermore logcat doesn't appear in the sbin/ directory, explaining the error:

/sbin/sh: exec: line 1: logcat: not found

Am I doing something wrong?
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
No, it was like I thought: need to be booted before taking logcat. Well it was worth a try.

You didn't include full wipe in your list. Do wipe/factory reset in recovery and try installing rom again.

Backup your sd card first, because this will delete everything including nandroid backups.
[HTC One X] irundaia:
Wipes didn't help either :(
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
This is a difficult case. I can't unfortunately help with this any further.
[HTC One X] zettez:
Cannot seem to find anything out of the ordinary. This is very, very weird. I guess I will have to try another ROM then. Too bad..
[HTC One X] zettez:
Out of desperation I tried to just flash the boot.img that you gave in the link, and it works! No need to repack!
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
I'm glad you got it sorted. :)

The idea of repacking is to merge the latest kernel changes to the modded boot.img.

All changes made in the kernel since the release of modded boot.img are not included in your phone now.

But if it works for you do not touch your boot.img ever again. ;)

[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] SmokedDuvel:
It will be great to see Multi-windows option on our Galaxy Tab 2.

Maybe Samsung will make it for us. Unfortunately, I think, Samsung can't do this, because Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 is no longer top model of Galaxy Tabs. Now Samsung Galaxy Note II is newsest, and it is Samsung's eye in head ;)

Waiting for modders, who's can make it for us ;) ...
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] zagoya:
Samsung is a shame that as soon leave this tab, but I guess if you can create multi-window support. In the S2 have introduced multi-window support, ripple effect and ink. What is required is that some developer support us will try to get help to bring these improvements to our tablet

Enviado desde mi GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] SmokedDuvel:
It will not to be easy.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 is commercial tablet. There's no much difference between Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 ...

One thing making Samsung politics is buissnes. That's all. Samsung want a lot of money and they are not interesting in older devices which makes less of money now. Sad but true.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] brolee93:
I thinks it is possible because note 1 n7000 don't have multi windows et ripple effect et alliance team make this :)

I am small dev I make rom for note 1 and note 2 but not release in xda for my reason...

If you want we work in integrated this goodies?

Because section tab 2 is dead pffff

Pm me if you want and sorry for my English very bad looool
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] DigitalMD:
Yes it could be done, if someone will port the mods from the threads below to work with some of our ROMs once we get JB 4.1.2 from Samsung.

What a ridiculous comment. Samsung does a good job of software updates for older devices. Better than most. Remember they make no money from updating your old device and the reason to be in business is to make a profit, not to cater to every whim of power users. Most people that own these tablets wouldn't even know what a software update is and could care less. They just want it to work and be reliable. So think the fact that Samsung churns out dozens of updated for a multitude of devices in variety of languages is pretty cool.

I once purchased a HTC Flyer, cool device , great hardware, pretty damn expensive. It never received one single software update and HTC dropped support for it after 4 months.

Samsung just put out a JB 4.1.1 update for your tablet this month. You expectations are unrealistic. Do you expect Samsung to assign a personal developer to you to support your every whine on a daily basis?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] Mikeytjee:
Want This sooo bad
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] behemot24:
It would be great to have it, but as I can see there is not one single custom ROM based on stock JB for the P5110 :(

I wanted to try doing it myself, but I wasn't even able to make cygwin work on my PC...
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] jasonchauhk:
is it possible to hv multiscreen?

just want it so badly....:(
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] rraaka:
of course it is possible on the part of devs, to a certain extent.

you need special kernels besides hardware support. Note 1 got a few leaks from samsung and got many other features of Note 2 going like airview, multi-windows, ink effect

xperiacle and nanomet have ported features from the tab to make certain features to work on Note 1 like floating multiwindows that can be minimised, multitasking

my knowledge is surface knowledge. without sammy support in the form of leaks it wouldnt have been possible for Note. otherwise Cyanogen would also give these features even though they are releasing 421 now.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] DigitalMD:
You guys don;t read things we post here ... ... anyway once again, YES its possible using the Samsung JB ROM for our device.

Galaxy S II is already getting ports of multiwindow to their JB Stock Rom.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] behemot24:
Jellybean firmware CLK7 is already out since november.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] DigitalMD:
yep you are right, that post was supposed to go in the Samsung tab 7 Plus thread.

But anyway, yes its possible using the same methods the SII uses.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] behemot24:
yes, but there are a lot of developers in the S2 threads, I just hope there is at least a developer having the samsung galaxy tab 2 that will know how to do it and then share it with the rest of us :)
[Nokia Lumia 920] mcvpjd3:
Has anyone had a problem with connecting the 920 to a car kit?

I've got a Vauxhall (GM) Insignia with the built in car kit. The 920 will connect to the car and the phone book and call lists will sync, however, when I try to make a call I get a message on the screen saying "Dialing Failed". I can make calls from the phone and they will go through the BT car kit. Same if I receive a call I can use the buttons on the steeringwheel to answer the call.

I did have a HTC HD2 with Winphone 7.5 and that worked flawlessly with the car kit, but this isn't so happy. Anyone got any suggestions?

As an aside, how do you change the name of the Phone so it doesn't just appear as "Windows Phone"?

Thanks
[Nokia Lumia 920] schettj:
Use the Windows Phone App in Win8 to change the name. Maybe uss the Market (on a desktop browser, log in) to change the name - forgot if that's an option.

As far as cars go, every bluetooth phone I've had has been hit or miss - even the iPhone 4 I had worked, didn't work, then worked again at various versions of iOS on my Nissan.

I have a GM (Traverse) and it seems to like both my HTC Titan 7.5 and my Lumia 920 - the bluetooth stack in WP8 is different than the one used in WP7.5, apparently that's causing you issues.

Can you initiate voice calling from the steering wheel hands free? I can do that in my GM but not in my Nissan - if you can then you don't need the address book to sync.
[Nokia Lumia 920] mcvpjd3:
Name: Yeah, worked that one out after I posted the message, thanks anyway :)

No, using the voice control doesn't work, the Dialing Failed message. Lets hope the first update may help :)
[Nokia Lumia 920] MasterOfDesasters:
I can't even connect to the BT Kit in my Ford Focus. When I hit connect, the car doesn't show the PIN to connect as it should. The car kit works with HTC One X and iPhone 4s as expected. Read somewhere, that some BT protocols are missing in WP8. Rumours say, that this might get fixed with the next bigger update for WP in Q1 13. Let's hope it.
[Nokia Lumia 920] S M G:
Had the same issue with my 2012 Ford Ranger, eventually got it working by doing the following:

When you pair your Lumia with your car, enter any PIN on your Lumia even if your car doesnt give you a pin. Once you enter a PIN on your Lumia and hit enter your car should provide you with the correct PIN to enter, then just enter the provided PIN and it should work.

I've been watching this section for a while and am wondering if anyone has any insight into whether there's going to be a solid N4 (non TPU) case similar to an Otterbox coming to market? I know Otterbox has no plan on producing a case for this phone and now that I'm on phone #2 since the last one fell off my lap onto the concrete, thus cracking the screen, I'm a bit weary about the available options.

Cheers!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Hrithan2020:
I believe go ballistic shell case, trident case and seidio have announced that they'll be producing one. I have used casemate tough on my S2, which seems to be similar in construction [2 layers w.o front screen direct protection] to ionic guardian, go ballistic shell case, and it has survived lots of direct falls on screen too. So, I think these cases provide ample protection. [ Have heard good things about go ballistic shell case]
[Nexus 4 Accessories] theanswriz42:
Awesome, thanks for the heads up. I actually have a friend with a Ballistic case on her phone and it seems solid. I guess I'll have to be patient for the time being.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Sparta507:
i asked ballistic about when would they release the case since i was assuming it would be available before Christmas, but sadly they said the release would be most likely in January... but so far their case seems like the best option in protect from drops so far. No one else has release pics of how their cases will look other than ballistic
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Semitope:
ballistic looks good but these guys are putting a premium on the price. Price will likely stop me buying from the more popular brands. It's not like each case is hand made...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] psyphris:
Yeah... the price is turning me off quite a bit. If the Diztronic one seems good enough then I might just stick it out with that one.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] wahoo25:
that ballistic is how much I payed for my casemate tough for SG1 which cracked on the back within a month. Another crack a year later from taking it off.

How will this case stack up for longevity?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
huh? you want a premium protection case but paying 35 is to much? all the otterbox cases start at 35, 50, and 60. you no like, you no buy. i'd pay 100 bucks for a sick ass case. most of us paid 400 for this phone, so 35 to protect its beauty is nothing!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Semitope:
if i wasn't so concerned about getting the most for my money I wouldn't have gotten a nexus 4. I'd feel a bit silly if I bought the case and didn't think it was worth as much as it cost. All i want is better protection for the phone. I don't really care to pay extra just to have a certain brand name on it. hence I will look for the best value with good protection.

If they want more cash they'll have to up the features beyond rubber and plastic.
[HTC One X+] Wlk:
Is there any setting to force phone to lock screen after finishing call? I'm using earphones with integrated mic, so I end call by clicking button on remote while leaving phone in pocket. And it unlocks after finishing call, waiting for screen timeout to lock it again. Quite annoying...

And also using phone with headset is quite annoying, because I would like to lock it after dialing call and put it to my pocket. But I also have my power button set to end my call. Voila, we have problem. Power button ends my call I just started. So I can disable this behavior in settings, but then when I use phone without headset, I always forget to end call by onscreen button and put it to my pocket with call still active. Best solution would be some kind of headset detection, which alters behavior of power button during call. Probably could be done with Tasker, but I kinda dont want to leave it running in background just for this. Any tips or ideas?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dergo:
Hello.

After reading all similar posts, and not finding any solutions I'm turning to XDA developers for help.

I own a brand new (3 month old) T999V Galaxy S3.

The phone is not rooted, and for now, I do not plan on rooting it , in order to keep the warranty.

Approx a month ago , I have noticed, that at times my phone becomes non responsive, and stays non responsive for many hours in a row, significantly heats up, and looses a lot of battery charge.

I have investigated the issue: process /system/bin/sdcard hogs 47-50% of the CPU.

Killing the process simply restarts it again, rebooting the phone does not help.

Galaxy S3 has a "build in" internal SD card, and I'm also using an external one.

I have tried using two different external SD cards, but result was the same.

I have tried running the phone without any external SD card - the result: /system/bin/sdcard at 45% of the CPU !

So it seems that external sd cards are not causing the problem.

I suspected, that a media storage might cause this issue: I had completely reset media storage - to no avail.

Any suggestions, short of "factory reset your device", are more than welcome.

Few illustrations are attached.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dergo:
Anyone?

Anyone? No one willing to help with the issue?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dergo:
Solution found

As I figured out that none is volunteering to help, I had resorted to figuring it out myself.

So first I'd like to properly describe the problem:

Every time the galaxy was rebooted, the phone was unresponsive for many hours in a row.

Using an android app called process monitor, I have established that the process that was occupying CPU was named, /system/bin/sdcard .

After reading some Android development documentation I came to a conclusion that the process itself is not to blame: /system/bin/sdcard is a process spanned by SD card access service, and the real culprit could be any application accessing the SD card.

My gut feeling told me that it is somehow related to the notorious media scanner. So I went to Settings>Applications>Running applications, and stopped application called Media. Then I cleared the memory , and suddenly CPU consumption was normal again.

So I found the "what" now I needed to figure "why".

Using android programming documentation again, I have determined that the way media scanner is working is by traversing all directories for all files, and then my bet was that the scanner is getting stuck in one of those directories.

In order to empirically detect which directory was problematic I have used "Storage analyser".

This is a tool showing the size of the folders, and I figured that if a scanner got stuck on a problematic folder, "Storage analyser" will also get stuck on it.

As predicted it got stuck on a following folder:

/Android/data/com.sec.android.allshare .

Using file browser I have determined that the folder contained around 62000 (yes sixty two thousand) files.

As it was impossible to browse within this folder (the file browser was getting stuck when entering this folder, I have simply deleted it.

Further investigation shown that the folder is getting regenerated after reboot, and it contains Samsung Allshare temporary files.

So that's it - removing the folder with a very large number of files has done the trick.

Now my phone works flawlessly, and I'm keeping my eye on the Allshare folder (Samsung shame on you).

So anyone with the "media scanner running slow" problem. Search your drive for a folder with exceedingly large number of files, and get rid of this folder (if you can).
