[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeren83:
Maybe this thread has been already mentioned on this forum. Have u ever had problems with making and receiving phone calls on your samsung galaxy s ? Maybe like screen turns black and freezes?

I've heard it's due to the proximity sensor, is that true? or could it be a hardware problem.

I've been looking solutions for this problem all over the internet but could not find any good ones.

I hope some of you have already solved this problem.

Please tell us how you did it,

Thanks in advance !!:good:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeren83:
Problem Solved

Oh I finally found the solution on play store. You need to download Hardware Disabler and disable the gp2a drivers. Until now it works fine, i can make and receive phone calls. (It's possible when disabling gp2a drivers , your CPU performance can slow down)

Another option would be just to install your SGS 1 with the latest MIUI rom and enter in Call settings >> answer settings>> incoming call status settings and disable proximity sensor directly. This will not have any effect on your CPU performance.

I hope this well help some other users with the same problem :highfive:
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guefaunteno:
I just bricked my LG optimus one the other day, and I got it into EM mode and tried to flash stock ROM onto it via KDZ and it dead booted it. So I've been looking into JTAG and am really excited to see how it'll work, but I don't have the money to get a RIFF box. Is there anyway to do it straight from the parallel cable on my PC's MOBO?

I saw something about it here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075839 but they didn't get too far into it. Is it possible? Has anyone made a software for it?

Thanks in advance
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jrhodes85:
Yes, in theory it will work but why do it for a device you can get on eBay for 50 bucks brand new....you'll spend more money trying to jtag than just buying a new phone
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidisfuture:
i totally agree with you
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guefaunteno:
I really like this phone, and I really like hacking into stuff like that. It's a kinda hobby, and it gives me something to do :) I already made a JTAG cable that fits into my old-school MOBO so now I just need the software. Shouldn't be too hard? And didn't cost me a thing so far :)
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jrhodes85:
I haven't seen the software flying around but if you have the knowledge to jtag, just create the software

. I've never done it

---------- Post added at 06:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 AM ----------

Did you completely brick your phone? Is it boot able into recovery? If so, have you tried an alternate mean such as LGDMP 1.5? the program is really meant for baseband switch but you might be able to recover your phone
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guefaunteno:
Yeah that's what dead booted it in the first place. I tried running that but it bricked my phone :P Now no signs of power. And I've never JTAGed either.... Love to try though :) Just don't know where to start to create software
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jrhodes85:
I seem to be a jack of all trades but I'm guessing the only way you bricked was by pulling the battery during nv2 restoration. I did break 1 device with that program but still I'd rather use that program than kdz....lgdmp-40% of bricking, lgdmp-60% of bricking....

---------- Post added at 07:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 AM ----------

Edit the last part, 40% lgdmp and vice versa

Has anyone created a software for JTAG to use without a jtag box? Straight from Parallel port?
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rr0yy:
Lolz.. what do you mean by jtag software??

Read more about jtags!!

What you can do is.. find service centres with jtag kit. Even some LG sc keep jtag!!
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guefaunteno:
What I'm hoping for is, Whatever is inside of a JTAG box, you can also use your PC to do whatever a JTAG box can do. But it would require a software to tell your PC to do whatever it needs to do to JTAG the phone. Did I explain that right? :P It sounds like it should be possible to me.... I just don't know how to do it. And there are no JTAG services anywhere in the Treasure valley!
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guefaunteno:
Any ideas?
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rr0yy:
You are not understanding.. WITHOUT jtag 'Hardware'.. you cant.

Eg: Can you have sound output in YOUR PC without Sound card 'Hardware' on motherboard.

In a proper old fashioned jtag box you need to measure voltage, resister values and many things.. programming and debugging using xilinx. People without core knowledge of xilinx, vlsi, µTC etc etc cant program over jtag and other similar devices. I cant explain what is inside jtag box but tell me how can you make

1 -Vddh (+3.3v)

2 - Vss (ground)

3 - nTRST

4 - Vss (ground)

5 - TDI

6 -Vss (ground)

7 - TMS

8 -Vss (ground)

9 - TCK

10-Vss (ground)

11- TDO

12-nRESET (optional)

13- Vddh (+3.3v)

14-Vss (ground

these 14 pin tap interface from pc.

Its not like using PC suite with data cable.

Nowadays there are many jtag boxes out in market specially for mobile pcbs.. to revive bricked phones. You just have to configure it.. rest it wil do everything itself.

This is a link.. where you can find people and shops with riff jtags.

[LG Optimus G (International)] massih88:
after talking to lg and rogers i found a way to fix my battery bug or what ever it was........

Issue: weak battery-very bad battery life-needed to charge twice a day on normal usage. Lg and rogers both said its a hardware issue and need to be replaced......(IT WASNT)

Solution few easy steps should fix it:

1. Let your battery die to 0%. It drives down by 2%. Turn it on, it will let you turn it back on and shots automaticly back down. do it a few times till it shows0%!!

2. Plug it into your charger and let it charge to 100%.

right now its 2 pm i started using the phone at 9 am haevy!! besides that is my s3 that i used half as much today. Battery life on the optimus G is 60% and on the S3 55%. Battery life of the LG seem to went to normal. they claim its 40% better then on the s3. im trying tomorow on eco mode see if there is a difference.

PS: sorry for my english im italian live in canada and grew up in germany haha;)
[LG Optimus G (International)] xxbeanxx:
I'm not so sure this is a good thing to do. I've read that you should never allow a Li-Po battery to drain completely because it physically damages it.

Then again, it's hard to find credible information on the subject.

Edit: Wikipedia cites the following article which states that overdischarging will damage the battery: http://www.powerstream.com/li.htm
[LG Optimus G (International)] ashirviskas:
Damage is when you leave battery discharged for some time, short period = almost 0. Of course there is little damage by doing this but no more than frying your phone at 100% ;) Sorry for my english..
[LG Optimus G (International)] massih88:
Fixed mine tho my battery life is crazy long now
[LG Optimus G (International)] Tim4:
It calls the placebo effect.

Li-polymer batteries calibrated on factory and they absolutely dont like deep discharging.

By the way LG promised 800 cycles of charging before the battery will start dying. I think in case of full discharge, the amount of cycles will be greatly reduced.
[LG Optimus G (International)] mandroid717:
I have provisioned my battery which means going from full charge to 0 three to 4 times when I first got it and I always get a full day with medium use now.
[LG Optimus G (International)] xxbeanxx:
I'm wondering, if this provisioning is so helpful for a battery, why wouldn't they do it at the factory?
[LG Optimus G (International)] scoobydooby:
After reading your guys' posts I decided to do a bit of a test.. I ran my phone all the way down from 100 to 0.. phone turned off.

Then, I turned my phone on about 5 times which then would immediately shut off onve booted to the os.

Then, I turned the phone on and placed it in the recovery mode.. doing this ensured that the screen stayed on until the phone was indeed drained entirely.

Then I charged it up till 100% before I went to bed, turned airplane mode on, closed the screen and went to bed.

Wake up this morning and looked to see how much battery drain occurred during sleep.

After about 5 minutes of using my phone it dropped down to 97%.. only lost 3% overnight. I was very pleased to see this as it confirms in my case that the phone is able to go into deep sleep.

I've also noticed that my battery seems to be draining slower than before.. before I could surf the web for ten minutes over wifi and lose a full 10% of battery.. so far today I've been on the web, downloading email, messing with some apps for around an hour or so and I'm currently at 86%.. definite improvement I believe.

And FYI this is with eco mode off, screen at 50% brightness, no gps and sync on sparingly. This is also on the latest update (my phone is on bell)
[LG Optimus G (International)] ionian2:
I'd be really tempted to try this, but I've heard so much from so many credible sources that total drain on Li-ion is bad news. Conflicted :(
[LG Optimus G (International)] dpvu:
It's bad to constantly cycle it full to empty. A full cycle once in a while is fine and on some devices it's necessary to calibrate the battery. Additionally, it's not good to store the battery empty. There's no harm in letting it drain all the way occasionally although killing it then further killing it in recovery is probably overkill.
[LG Optimus G (International)] scoobydooby:
Indeed, I only did it in the hopes that it would help to recalibrate the battery.. I recently was forced to run a flash back to the original firmware using the kbz method.. I was able to bring back to stock but noticed afterward that my battery life did not seem anywhere near as good as it was prior.

It could be that the kbz I flashed to was the newest updated version and it just isn't as good with the battery life but I felt it was worth trying draining all the way to see if it would help.. it does seem to have helped a bit though my battery still shows that android system keeps awake for 4+hours which is odd..

Anyway, once in a while I don't see it being a big deal.
[LG Optimus G (International)] xxbeanxx:
If anyone is going to attempt the things mentioned here, why not do us all a favor and post some actual numbers from Better Battery Stats (a before and after) for some real analysis.

I'm not implying that anyone is lying, but it is just too easy to perceive an improvement when that is what one is expecting.

The plural of anecdote is not data.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cjohn1200:
SOLVED Hi guys, I've got a HTC one x running CM10 nightlies. Everything has been going great. Last night i tried to flash rohans kernel.. it didn't work, my fault I'm sure. I think i did something wrong and I'm not entirely sure is suites my phone. I had previously made a nandriod back up so i thought i could just restore that if it all went wrong. After i flashed the kernel it just gets stuck on the white htc screen, i can still get into bootloader so i went into cwr and tried to recover from my backup. Everything seemed to work and i said the recovery was all done, but when i reboot it still gets stuck on the white htc screen. Sorry if this question has been asked, i googled and searched the hell out of it and have tried everything i can find. I think i just need to get rid of that kernel.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

sorry if some of this doesn't make sense, I'm still a total noob:o

Contact HTC and explain the situation and get them to send out the new one. They sent you the wrong product. Request they cross ship or allow you to use your current phone until you receive the correct product. It should be a big deal.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jon8105:
So I was able to successfully root my AT&T HTC One X and decided I wanted to install the CM 10 ROM (1st ROM install). I did all the data backups with Titanium, downloaded the latest zip files from cyanogenMod (both the 12/13 and 12/14 nightly versions), transferred them to my phone, booted into recovery (TWRP), did a back-up, did a system wipe, flashed the ROM and then did a reboot. However, when it boots it gets stuck in the boot-up screen (bootloop) and doesn't do anything. I have read on this and it keeps saying to wipe system data again and flash the ROM again and it keeps doing this. I want to install this ROM, but I need some help. Any suggestions on what I did wrong?

Note: I accidentally posted this in the Android Q&A section, so I apologize for the double post. I just think this is probably the best place to get my answer.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 3452239:
Did you flash the boot.img?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jon8105:
I did, but incorrectly the first time. I flashed it the right way and everything is working good. Then only problem I have now is when restoring from Titanium Backup it gives me an error from a process called com.android.phone (I think that is what it said). So I wiped it again and rebooted and everything is fine. I can reinstall all the apps, but what could cause that? Could it be some of the data backed up doesn't cooperate with this ROM? Either way I love the CM10 ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 3452239:
if they are backups from sense, that *MAY* cause problems, but don't quote me on that. I don't use sense, can't say for sure
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jon8105:

I live in The Netherlands

Android version 4.0.3

HTC Sense 3.6

Software number 3.32.162.52

Since the update there is a significant drain in battery. I checked if any settings were changed, but as far as I can see nothing changed in settings. But where the phone could work all day untill late evening, it now lasts a mere 8 hours. With minimum use. Has anyone with a sensation have had the same problem.

Hello guys,

I had my phone working on my home network, but after wiping it to try a new ROM, I cannot connect back to my Windows 8 network.

Previously I was on a Homegroup on 5 PC's in my home... all the same local user account name and NO password.

Now I get a Login Failure message Using ES file explorer on my phone which lists some things that could be at fault, but none seem right. Ive been trying to change sharing options on my main PC to see if that helps, but it doesnt.

My phone "sees" the main computer when I do a LAN server scan, but clicking on the found server the error says it may be caused by: "WiFi is off, SMB server is out of network scope, The IP is invalid, Blocked by the firewall, SMB service is off" None of which I think are correct since I have not changed anything on the pcs up till now.

Astro is even less helpful and says: "No Windows shares found on network"

Any ideas?

He should sell it and buy an android.
[Nokia Lumia 820] AndyFZ1S:
At the moment it is not possible and don't think it will be in the near future, Windows Phones have the bootloaders locked down and it is very difficult to unlock them to even accept custom WP Roms, Normally involves hours of developers time to try and create HSPL in order to accept any kind of modification, And this will normally only occur if there is enough interest in a particular handset and a bounty is set for the devs.

Android handsets nowadays have dual core and even quad cores and you would be better off purchasing one of those as in the post stated above.
[Nokia Lumia 820] feffe73:
i think your friend is mad!

1) why he choses a win phone if he needs android

2) it's impossible porting android on nokia 820 or other win phone because le OS are made for different hardware.

i can't believe in this question.....
[Nokia Lumia 820] Jericoacoara:
As far as I read Sony Xperia V will be running Android on Intel Atom. But this will be launched in 2013.

And as far as I read you have to pay MS Money for getting WinOS 8 Devices in Developer Mode.

So why won't he sell it? And if its a company device he shouldn't break it :)

Actually this is very good question, I respect and admit that this can be done but of course if huge number of people request. It just like apple when now OS6 cannot be jailbreak, but it will be.

[Nokia Lumia 820] pungponx:
Agreed

I agreed with you. Why people not open mind to receive and try out of the box. It is benefit to you all if someone can do it, you can use dual OS for difference purpose. You can do what Android can also you can do what WP8 can. I think it is great only waiting for someone make it happen :) Cheer!
