[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HikenGruven:
So I was attempting to flash this ROM for the first time http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1762846 and the instructions recommended using this Super_Wipe_Galaxy.zip file which I did through CWM. It went through the process and stopped on Step 4, "Clearing EXT4 *DATA* partition". It's been sitting there a good 15 minutes now. What are my options? I'm assuming it really shouldn't take this long. Normally, I wipe data the old fashioned way. This is the first time something like this has ever happened to me. I have nandroid back-ups if needed. Trying to remain calm..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HikenGruven:
Would it be ok to pull the battery and restore a nandroid? It's still stuck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
It either will or won't work. That's all. If it doesn't you're in the same spot you are now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Just wipe data/factory reset, flash the ROM. No need for "supa powa wipe your ass scriptz"

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ahmadallica:
Exactly! :good:

To OP: There is no hidden storage in the GNex that this "Super Power Wipe" will wipe while not being wiped manually using the wipe options in recovery ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HikenGruven:
Pulling the battery and restoring my back-up worked. Later I went ahead and flashed MMuzzy's and am loving it. Thanks for the help and duly noted on the wiping script.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Enfield:
Hi All,

I bought a TF101 in late March of this year and as of about 30 minutes ago it's now - I'm quite sure - dead.

I had used it for about 10 minutes to catch up on today's events and then plugged it into charge as it was running low (had about 14% on it I think). Well after about 5 minutes of it being on charge I heard a slight pop noise...

When I boot into recovery mode, my tablet makes a quiet noise like a small 'pop' (has always done this - hopefully I am not alone) but I was sat next to my tablet and I heard this noise... I thought that it had rebooted into recovery mode by itself but turns out it hadn't and now won't respond to me at all.

I've tried booting into recovery mode, even tried holding down the keys for 30 seconds on three occasions. I have also tried plugging into my PC and neither Windows or Fedora will recognise a new device; even tried holding volume up + power but it does nothing).

I had the following installed:

TWRP 2.3.2.3

ARHD 3.6

RaymanFX Elite v1 kernel (recently installed)

It was running at 1.5Ghz comfortably before installing the Elite kernel, but after installing it, I had to decrease it to 1.4Ghz because it crashed on me twice.

Is this the end of my tablet?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ch13ef:
probably it must be sent to asus for rma...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Enfield:
Surely they will notice custom firmware on there though?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AtiRadeon1:
Of course they will notice if they get itto operate lol.

Well its one of those things where you just have to hope that the tablet restores itself. Try rebooting by power plus volume down and keep it charged. Now after rebooting, see if your computer can recognize it but if the screen is still off then it's a screen issue. From what you said the kernel probably doesn't work with your tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] MarkProvanP:
To the best of my knowledge the 'pop' noise is the sound of the camera autofocus as it is initialised.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] MasterDecker:
Mine on stock ROM makes the same "pop" noise. Unless you smell burned wires, or similar, then it's not to worry about. It is also basic speaker initialization. remember your old 386 did the same things.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] newsguy99:
Mine Pops too when I turn it on.. To me, it sounded like the shutter on a camera opening.. So, I just never let it bother me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] d3cypher:
Don't know if this helps but I sent mine in a few months ago for the lose LCD wire issue, didn't flash back to stock, still rooted and revolver rom, and the entire repair was covered. Came back to me just as I had sent it before the screen went out.
[HTC One X] hameed.ak:
I got my new HTC One X and it was working good until i updated it to 4.0.4. after installed that update on my phone it didnt ON. HTC main logo screen appears and then it goes to restart. i have also tried hard factory reset but still facing the same problem.

Apparently you haven't unlocked bootloader or otherwise tampered it.

Return it to a service center for warranty repair.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ARichBoss:
I'm getting someone a phone for Christmas and it's between the Skyrocket (really S2 lte here in Canada) or the S3. Here's my problem: I can get the S3 for zero dollars thru futueshop, but they are also having a deal where you can get an S2Lte for zero as well WITH a $150 gift card bonus.

Which is the better deal?

On one hand, the S3 is the newer device, but on the other, the S2 LTE is still relevant and that gift card is tempting

Which would you pick?

[General Questions and Answers] kyleco:
Hi all, hope you can help me out with this one!

My scenario:

One phone active with small regional carrier(basically DI4G) (1)

One phone active with Verizon (DNA) (2)

One tablet (Nexus 7 Wi-Fi only) (3)

Many devices in pocket with much confusion when anything dings)

I am looking to be able to text from either phone using my tablet, and be able to text from 1 using 2 or from 2 using 1.

My current setup is desksms on both phones using different gmail accounts and tabletsms on both phones and the tablet.

This works OK for texting from 1 on 2 or vice versa, but the tablet can only be signed into one at a time and it is difficult to switch accounts. Does anyone have any suggestions for being able to text from both phones on the tablet at the same time?

Hoping someone else has a situation like mine and can shed some SMS syncing light on this for me :) It think I've purchased every SMS syncing app in the play store so paid apps are not an issue. Also willing to use multiple apps if necessary.

Thanks for any ideas
[General Questions and Answers] Markus_androidfanatic:
Hi kyleco,

you posted the question a while ago; hopefully my reply does not come too late for you.

I have been in a somewhat similar situation and I'll share with you how I solved it. I have two private phones with separate phone numbers like you. Usually I only want to carry one mobile device (HTC One and Galaxy S2) with me but still send and receive texts from both numbers. I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 which I mostly use when I am watching TV and sometime I have my phone laying around the house and not with me.

I've been searching through the Play Store countless times until I found an App that helped me configure my devices so they operate in the way I want. I set up the mysms app(simply search for mysms in the play store) on both my phones and created two separate accounts. Then I installed the mysms app for my Galaxy Tab. Now I can sign into both accounts that I have on my smartphones and send text messages from their number.

To solve the problem with carrying two devices with me I downloaded the mysms mirror app on both phones ('mysms mirror' in the play store - free 30 days trial version available). Now I can sign into each account from both phones. The texts are sent with the phone number that I sign in with into the mirror app.

Pretty cool setup huh?

I hope my reply was helpful to you.

Hey guys I'm getting a nexus 7 soon and been looking around for the best ROM, I would also like to be able to charge and have a flash drive plugged in at the same time. I heard team EOS has a ROM for it but I just dont know where to start, so I figured I would ask the xda community for some help.

Thanks guys
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
These 'best ROM' threads get closed/deleted pretty quick because no one can tell you which ROM is best for you and how you use your device. The only way to find out is to read up on any ROM your interested in using in the Dev forum and then install the one that fits your needs best. If it doesn't, repeat the process until you find one that does.

I just got this weird icon in my task bar (white square with two bent lines in it). I attached a picture. I have checked all programs for icons, nothing is in the drop down, I have gone to the "about me" in settings and checked for an update, none available.

Driving me crazy!

Anyone know what this icon is?

***Nevermind, found it, it was the NFC icon.***

This is ridiculous. Not everyone is an expert in this phone. Get over yourself, and try being helpful instead of just an overall prick.

I get the idea of telling people to search, and that is totally understandable, but responses like this really piss me off. You were a "noob" once too.

OP, this icon indicates NFC is turned on in the software (Near Field Communications) as already indicated by scmlee.

To be more helpful than the post I quoted, you can take a screenshot with the Note 2 much easier than how you did it. Check out this video to how to do screenshots.

It's called a statusbar. Taskbars are for Windows.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] garyd9:
I kind of have to defend the OP here, as I had the very same question when I got the AT&T variant of the Note2. I'm hardly a newbie, but I've generally avoided the US variants of these phones (and that icon doesn't appear on any of the international firmware releases that I've seen.)

As for searching, what search term would you suggest? Without knowing that it relates to "NFC", there really aren't any good keywords to use that would narrow down the search. The message subject ("weird icon in the upper task bar") doesn't generate anything useful (other than this thread which didn't exist when the OP was made.)

If you get REALLY lucky, you might get just the right combination of keywords to hit a previous thread. For example, "strange icon notification" will hit the Q&A thread I made almost 2 months ago.)

About the ONLY thing I can fault the OP for is that this should have been posted in the device Q&A (and not the device General) section. That, however, is a pretty typical mistake and I've even been guilty of it on occasion.

Take care

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eid:
Hey guys,

I did an experiment not a long time ago. I have my old phone with 4.1.2 Android and I went on a trip for a few days. Typically my phone discharges after 12-15 hours even without using anything (old battery) with smartassv2 or just conservative mode. Before going on the trip, I've set the minimum clock to the lowest possible and set the mode to powersaving (always using the minimum). And after 3 days the battery still was at 86%.

So what's the problem with the Android OS itself? Or have I just gotten some magical experience? Why does it use such a large clock rate for the processor when it's locked and using any preference script apart from power saver?

Thanks a bunch!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karim Kahale:
First of all, battery life depends on your battery type and capacity.

Second of all, when you underclock your cpu to the minimum frequency, battery consumption will decrease a LOT but using this frequency for apps use is practically impossible.Also, display causes less battery life.

Hope i helped !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eid:
Forgot about this topic. Yes, mate, I understand that, but the minimum frequency is enough when I don't have any apps running in the background. Seems like android still has a lot of power managment programming to be done under standby.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough, but if you just use any governor (with minimal frequency set at the lowest) apart from "powersaving", it will use more power on standby, then powersaving with the minimal frequency set.

Why isn't twrp recognizing my backup? The folder is there with the correct name and everything. But when i click on it, it just acts like its another parent folder with nothing inside.

The only thing I can think of is the the page for the Perseus kernel said something about formatting the extsd to exfat or something like that. Will twrp only recognize certain formats?
