[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] crashpsycho:
If its still distorted one of 2 things happened either one you botched the ribbon cable when installing or 2 the screen is defective take a pic it can be easier for others to determine that way
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] neoshadow15:
One of the images is a my phone in download mode. Sorry for the bad quality (my best camera was my phone). If you look closely the warning text is barely visible. When I first go into download mode the screen is first filled with blue pixels until it brightens to the greyish color shown in the picture.

The other is a picture of the screen/digitizer removed. It seems that the ribbon is still intact, but maybe it was damaged in another way.

What do you think would be the best course of action? I should be able to get the screen exchanged for another one, but I'm worried that perhaps the screen is not the thing causing the problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] crashpsycho:
I would try another screen first because if the ribbon was in fact damaged you wouldnt have distorted faint Screen like that honestly that would be my choice the screens aren't hard to swap very simple in fact I do this at work at least twice a day if another screen doesn't fix man I'll definitely taken it in

I'm in the military, currently stationed in the Mojave desert and I was wondering if anyone knows and uses a good solar charger for their phone. Yes I know I can Google it, but I'm looking for a first hand type of reference.
[HTC Droid DNA] jamesbra:
For first hand style knowledge I'd suggest the user reviews on rei.com . I'm also in the market for a good solar charger and that's the best place I've found with user reviews that seem real legit

Good solar charger- Solio

First, thanks for your service to our country. Second, yes, I have used a solar charger for a few years now and it still performs well. It's called the "Solio". It has 3 panels that fan out when in use and you insert a pencil through the middle to prop it up. It will hold a full charge for about a year. I've left it outside once and left for the weekend... upon return, it got wet and thought it was toast. But after a few days, it started working again. The one I got cost about a hundred dollars but it was worth it to me.

It also has AC charging capability too.

[Motorola Droid X2] solegan:
Ok here goes nothing...I have a droid x2 rooted. I love the CM7 ROM and the eclipse 2.3 ROM. I also like the original droid x2 blur ROM. What I don't like about the Blur ROM is the lock screen. Ok not so much the lock screen but the fact that I can't use the google music app with the lock screen widget. Follow me so far? What I want to change on the Blur ROM is the lock screen music control to be able to use it with google music app and the car dock music control also to be able to use it with the google music app. Can someone out there help me out?
[Motorola Droid X2] bad bone:
How about a lockscreen replacement app?

[Motorola Droid X2] solegan:
I tried that but I still get the blur lock screen at start up which I can't stand. And as far as the car dock I like the look of it but if I delete the music app I can't use the music controls.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Editing the default blur screen in a royal pain in the ass. I tried forever but had lots of success with widget locker. Widget Locker and any other replacement app will take a second to start. That's the nature of apps and something we have to just get over.

This app looks quite promising. The permissions scare me a bit but if you're okay with it go for it.

Install CROMI with the new JB launcher. You'll get stock everything and that neat dock at the bottom following you around.
[General Questions and Answers] albertohilvano:
Hi guys,

Just needed help with my Samsung GT-S5360. I've reinstalled my ROM yesterday. My ROM that time is Jelly blast v3 I think and then tried to change to Hyperion 7. It works perfectly until after 20 mins. I restarted my phone and then it does not boot anymore. tried installing my other roms. The ginger bread 2.3.6 I think and my old jellyblast v3. after installation there comes an error. It says that "error cannot mount data" tried every thing already. Tried flashing some other ROMS but it's still not working. I even formatted my system already using CWM. It's always "error cannot mount data" if it's not data it says. "Error Cannot mount system!"

Please help and thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WTH.WTH:
I cannot understand what the hell is happening to my Galaxy III. I bought it about 3 months ago and there is no problem until now.

Two days ago, suddenly the phone became frozen. I turned it off and could not start up again.

I almost got crazy with this issue.

This phone I bought from my friend, who brought it to me from USA. Quite new, in box ! Of course !

Now no where in my country accept to do A/S for this phone. And I am afraid that I have to spend much money to repair this new phone and it can be scratched during fixing.

Actually, I also do not know where I can have it fixed.

Getting around on the internet, I came here to ask for your advices, Galaxy III experts. Please help me !

I knew that someone already experienced this issue with Galaxy II, and it was so bad that he just could sell that dead phone with very cheap price.

I really regret not buying an HTC One X when I saw it. That time I was very confused between choosing a cheaper one (HTC) and the more fashionable one (Galaxy III). But my ****ing friend persuaded me to buy Galaxy III from his shop in USA. And now, that ****ing guy disappeared. I cannot contact him. Is it possible he cheated me with something fake ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nightwind Hawk:
Can you explain what happens when you try to turn on your phone? Does the screen come on? Bootscreen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dems86:
I read an article about gs3 dying randomly, and samsung replacing even rooted ones no questions asked when this happens. Maybe this something else?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Enhanced:
For those of us in Canada and some on AT&T that were fortunate enough to snag some LTE for their Nexus 4s, can anyone develop a nice toggle that allows us to flip between LTE and HSPA+/3G?

I guess all we need is something that can switch between the options of "WCDMA preferred" and "LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)" in the *#*#4636#*#* menu.

Can anyone take a shot at it or point me to the direction that can accomplish the same thing? Maybe use Tasker?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] hoponpop:
Is the connection type when you boot the phone determined by the carrier or some kind of system setting? If it's a system setting, could a different kernel or editing a system file stop it from reverting back when you power down the phone?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Enhanced:
There is already a build.prop edit method floating around that prevents a reboot from reverting back to HSPA+, but I'm more concerned with a toggle that flips LTE on and off.

The battery drain is pretty immense with LTE so I don't want it permanently on and would like to be able to flip it on and off when needed.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] darthchilli:
Certain things such as location based services dont work with the LTE,

im hoard 4sq and such so yea, it doesn't work properly

but i do enjoy the speeds
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] hoponpop:
Tethering doesn't work with LTE enabled for me. Is this normal?

OP, couldn't you just use a 3G or HSPA only toggle to toggle LTE on and off?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Enhanced:
That's a good idea, except I don't know if there is such thing as a 3G/HSPA toggle? I searched the Play Store and didn't find one.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] cobyman7035:
just use the 'phone info' app to quickly switch LTE only or GSM auto PRL

those are my two settings i need only

i do have rogers APN ltemobile.apn in network settings, im on rogers

when i reboot it always uses that ltemobile.apn

it doesn't use the other default rogers one
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Enhanced:
The app is nice to bridge the inconvenience a little, but I would still prefer if there was something that could just one click LTE on and off. I assume this won't be something as simple as an app that could do this and would require some sort of coding or script that is out of my skill level.

Just hoping some crafty dev could come along and churn something out.

Thanks for the help though, the app definitely alleviates some of the hassle.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Rengoku:
Right now, I'm using Notification Toggle, it can add a 4G toggle to your notification shade that sends you directly to the 4636 menu, after that, you still have to select the LTE option in that menu, but its better than nothing I guess.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Papa Smurf151:
These threads are being closed due to non compliance with GPL rules. These are not just xda rules. First step I took was to contact the dev individually and ask for them to comply with providing a link to kernel source and after days of waiting there was no responses. So the next step was closing their threads till they complied. These rules are stated on xda and are strictly enforced. Some of the devs have responded and stated that they no longer support their rom thread and to close it as well. Oh and BTW this thread is now closed too

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jyjieng11:
Hey I am new to this so I had a T-989 running on 4.1.2 or something and so I installed CWM and rooted it using the T-989 toolkit. Afterwards I forgot to wipe and installed CM10. I was stuck on the booting screen for 40 mins and when I tried to go back to CWM it didnt work. So using the same toolkit I flashed the stock ROM. The stock seems to be gingerbread 2.3.6 and now the toolkit will not recognize it. Please help. I want it to run on CM10
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] badaphooko01:
Forget the toolkit and do it manually. First do you still have root? Try installing twrp recovery , you will have much less problems. Or try cwm again and make sure you follow the steps provided. Usually it's wipe/format, then format system, flash rom, wipe dalvick, wipe cache partition, fix permissions, reboot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jyjieng11:
Thanks for the info I was able to flash a 2.3.6 Gingerbread ROM onto my S2 using the toolkit and then from there on I had to reinstall the CWM and root and then using another guide I used the DarkSide wipe and reinstalled everything manually. Solved. Thank you.

No. Data is not lost by rooting. Rooting simply allows you to add superuser access to ur existing rom. Data is lost by flashing another rom not by rooting current rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] imranh101:
Hey all. Just got my note back from MobileTechVideos (props for reviving it from the dead :D )

I flashed the stock ROM back on to it through ODIN

Kies won't let me update the Note manually so I have to do OTA update which needs charged battery

Well, my computer and my Zagg Sparq aren't charging it. They both kept the phone "alive" at 5% but did not raise it above. I decided to run out to my car and grab the original charger, which is now charging it at a rate of about 1% every minute-minute and a half.

So the question is, is that normal charge rate?

And why wouldn't my PC and Zagg Sparq charge it? I know it may be a more powerful charger since it has a larger battery, but even still my PC and Sparq should not be so weak that they would be barely able to keep it alive, right?

Also any reason that Kies wont let me update? Says that the current firmware is not compatible to be updated (but I'm on stock... is it because I do not have stock recovery?)

Also another quesiton : Is the gingerbread the most current official AT&T build? They never released ICS for the Gnote? Woah.

[HTC One X] Kutusov:
Hi, I've searched but haven't found anything of what I have in mind...

I was looking for a small, plug-in external speaker that could a bit more of out-put than the built-in speaker on the back. I find it very quite and doesn't perform as nearly as loud as the inbuilt speaker on my old Samsung Galaxy S.

Now, I know about those little balls that look like an hamburger and all that but they are too big. I was looking for something substantially smaller that could be put on a pocket and forgot about it. Say, the size of a lighter or USB pen? I'm not looking for a massive performance, just something a bit louder than the HOX speaker and similar to what I had on the Galaxy.

I found these two things...

...both from China and the first costs US$2 shipped, the second around US$4 shipped... so I'm guessing the quality to be terrible. Not a big loss if I try it though...

Anyway, what is there and what can you recommend?

Cheers!

Edit: This would be nice if it was smaller...

Am on jb4.2.1. I can see my nandroid backups in ROM Manager and in CWM recovery but not in cwm backup file. There is also a persistent backup from about a month ago which I can see in the backup file but cannot delete. That 1 doesn't show up in Rom Manager or in recovery mode. It is messing with some apps which extract files from nandroid. Any ideas.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
Hmmm can't help you there stopped using Clockwork a while back and moved to TWRP. It could have something do to with the directories your backups are in and if CWM is pointing to those directories. If you ever do figure it out I suggest you switch to TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
IIRC the new CWM stores backups in /data/media/clokworkmod/backups (the ones you see in recovery). old backups done before you upgraded to 4.2.1 were moved to /data/media/0/clokworkmod/backups. You should be able to access them with a root file manager.

Can you describe in detail why you believe its the motherboard...rooting should have no affect on the mother board and the oc levels in the kernels are set at safe/stable levels...but being a fairly old phone it could've jut crapped out lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Garen21:
probably a stuck power button
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tmac42:
The first thing that happen, I tried to flash the Samsung ics rom with touchwiz ui, then it would come back one. I finally fixed it once and it had froyo so I tried to flash gingerbread from Odin and that's the last place it messed up. I've tried everything from gtgs ultimate unbrick to heimdall one click. I'm stuck with an IPhone and I hate it I would love to get my phone working again.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] andros11:
If you can get into download mode then you should be able to get it running. Nothing to do with the motherboard..

Try the uclb3 heimdall one-click unbrick from qkster or some odin pack. If you are getting stuck during the process, switch usb cables & ports and keep trying.

well i received the device today...and its even got me stumped...it almost seems like a power button issue but i know its not because it stays powered on through download mode...you can successfully flash a one click heimdal but then it just boot loops the charging animation...

as of now i think it may be a bad battery or the little connecter..but even then, why would it stay on while in download mode??

gonna give odin a try and see what happens...if odin doesnt work then ill see about getting a replacement battery and see if that helps...and if that doesnt ill have to ask permission to open it up and look inside and see if i see anything unusual
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
alright...ive discovered this under the battery...appears that something was removed and an inner part was scratched...can anyone verify that that whole isnt supposed to be there? (my infuse got stolen from my car a couple weeks ago)

that part under there i suspect may be part of the motherboard..and if it is scratched could be the likely cause of the booting issues - but still, why does download mode have no booting issues??

again this "hole" is on the bottom left corner of where the battery should be placed
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
I lied...after actually looking at the end results of heimdal...the flash isn't finishing...its cutting off towards the end and then rebooting...so maybe it is the power button...still...I don't think it is as the charging boot cycle is a good 5x faster then when the phone reboots in heimdal...I'm leaning more on bad battery

edit: 99% sure its a bad battery...as soon as I unplug it while in download mode the phone turns off...I used to be able to leave my phone unplugged in download mode for hours...
