[HTC Rezound] loveableterrorepic4g:
So, I have been reasonably experienced in the Android world with terms to Nexus devices and Samsung but HTC still confounds me. I have an S-Off Rezound, it is on GB Firmware and everytime I flash a ROM I have to flash a fix for old firmware or else is random reboots. I have searched and searched on different occasions for the answer to this but I have yet to find a straight answer. Feel free to flame me, be rude, etc., but can someone please point me in the right direction. My Fiancee loves her Rez, has been running sense 4.1 since we got it (it was s-off when we got it, a happy surprise from the seller we bought it from on eBay.) But she is weary of the extra steps she needs to take to update a ROM. Can anyone point us in the right direction?

RUU http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/

1st flash RUU(it will give you new firmware permanently)

2nd flash any rom with new firmware
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Or ....

Download this

http://old.androidfilehost.com/main/-Support_Files-/SuperChilPil/[ICS][2.27][STOCK][8-12]PH98IMG.zip

but don't run it as a PH98IMG just yet, replace the hboot in it from this

http://old.androidfilehost.com/main/-Support_Files-/SuperChilPil/[ICS][2.25][STOCK][5-7]PH98IMG.zip

You will be soft-bricked until you flash a new rom/re-flash your current one.
[HTC Rezound] loveableterrorepic4g:
Thanks guys, appreciate the info. She is going to run the RUU today and probably just go back to newts one xxx for global. She was getting tired fo forgetting to flash the "fix" everytime she updated.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
You don't need to RUU if you're s-off, you can flash just the firmware, keep in mind you'll need to reverse the old firmware patch, that's available in the link below too..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1614366

Global would be - [ICS][2.27][STOCK][8-12]PH98IMG.zip, follow the directions in the post to install it.

Back up your rom just to be safe but you should be ok just flashing the combo you want along with the "new" firmware patch.

EDIT - Just realized Snuzzo posted the same thing, it's linked from the XDA post above which has directions in it.

Hey guys, this problem is not on CM7/CM10 or Stock GB, but on XBSALL's Ported ICS.

Maybe some of you have noticed, but it's really easy to replicate:

For example, open quickmemo and draw 10-20 same length lines, you'll notice that some start in the middle, some at the bottom, some get too long etc.

Can this somehow be fixed?

Also, it often takes very long to start apps, which has got a little better with the 4-button Kernel.

thanks in advance,

say this is XBSALL's fault, I just wonder because the ROM is ported from another device and maybe the touchscreen driver is different? Korea cheaper touchscreen? lol
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
lol no prob..

Actually the test screenshot was made on my private nxe4+ rom which doesnt seem to have that problem but i ve tried it on my xbsa-acid rom and it seems that it does exist ..

Now i ll have to find what was the fix for this and unfortunately there too many differences between these 2 roms and not much time to troubleshoot it :mad:

So a fix will not be available soon.

Merry Christmas all! I'm having issues with my stock gallery app in that any new wallpaper/photo I download from the Internet doesn't show up. This just started over the last day and I have had my phone for several months now without this issue. The photos show up in my androzip file browser so I know they downloaded successfully. I am on the new 4.1.1 update and have been able to download and view photos from the Gallery after having updated, again this just started today. I am 100 percent stock and haven't been rooted. Has anyone else been having this issue? Any guidance or suggestions would be well appreciated. Thanks!

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] garyx24:
So long story short I flashed a theme that wasn't compatiable with Wicked V5 rom so I dirty flashed wicked back and noticed I wasn't getting 4G signal anymore. So I thought it was a dirty flash issue so I clean flashed to another rom & now I'm still getting only Edge signal. My data plan is 2GB before I get booted to EDGE & im currently at 1.7gb so Tmobile hasn't shut off my cap. I even called T-mobile tech support which was useless cuz they made me do a bunch of stupid stuff like restart phone, check my mobile network etc & they refreshed my line but that hasn't done squat. So currently they said my area is fine signal wise but I'm thinking maybe my APN is screwed up? idk

I did everything the thread said about backing up / restoring but I'm still on Edge in the end -____-
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] garyx24:
ok i lied it somewhat works but. I have set network mode to WCDMA only to even see the 4g logo but once I do that my cell signal becomes very unstable & dips back to 0-1 bars. But if I go to LTE/GSM/WCDMA aka auto i go back to edge -____- so overall I'm still on edge. I've tried it 3 times, triple checked to make sure I did nothing wrong & same result still

From the 2nd link you said me the only thing I didn't do was "Inject your IMEI back into your phone" because there was no need to since the 1st link u sent me told me how to get IMEI back & I didn't "If you still have slow connections after that consider flashing stock again through Odin and then pushing the generated file onto the phone."

Did you use peoplesarmy data restore app?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] garyx24:

OK but u have ur imei back right? Assummimg that the u do. Then let me make a small video n I'll post link here in like hour of exactly how I did it to get my 4g back. I'm not an expert but I can tell you exactly how u did it... Evil1art said that his ROM backs up bur efs folder. You might just be able to restore it from there assuming that you had flashed wicked rom before .ohh and did you is the no trip triangle away and reverted back to stock ROM. I posted a link to it earlier .

Hi guys,

How does everyone find the volume level with headphones? I find the galaxy s3 is far too loud on volume 1 to listen to. On my s2 I use fine volume control, but I hear it doesn't work on the s3 on jelly bean. Does it work on the note 2? Does siyah kernel work? As can reduce the volume in ex tweaks. Trying to work out which phone to buy, but they all seem too loud! Have tried different headphones too, and same issue. Thanks a lot guys :)

well of course kernel is neat, however I wouldn suggest volume boost. That comes with speaker buzzes. Anyway, stock is pretty loud tho.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Souai:
if you're trying to reduce the volume, user poweramp for your music, then go into the equaliser, and drop the master volume amplifier (the adjustable bar on the far left) to the lowest setting to reduce the volume further.

alternatively, download any equaliser app and drop the master volume or drop all the eq frequencies to reduce the overall volume.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archheretic:
Thanks, power amp is indeed quieter. Just wish that it would work with dsp manager...

No but it's a big factor for me. Power amp is ok, but to my ear dsp manager is noticeably better. I've bought some new headphones, not inner ear and this has helped with my issue greatly.

Thanks for the help everyone, that Perseus kernel is really handy, as I still need to be Able to reduce the volume level in extweaks or something similar to minimum.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FishFan319:
The story is simple, I'm sure many of you know it. The first device caused headaches after short calls with it's high pitch prequency from the earpiece. The second one had the microphone issue where friends and family and even Play support missed out on half of my sentences. The third came today and the screen quality is night and day compared to the others, even more so side side, with it's strong yellow tint and dimness.

I love the device as it is meant to function. The earpiece of 2/3, the mic of 1/3, the screen of 1/2. This is outrageous though, and I know that LG is the manufacturer, and Play Support is providing the RMAs, but setting up and setting up and setting up the devices again is a hassle, and google is selling it.

I've used the website but only see the 83nexus number, and that's not their job, at least I don't think. Is there an email address or even a handwritten letter than i can send something to?

First of all, Merry Christmas Everyone! I hope everyone got what they wanted and had a relaxing day!

Now, I was trying to flash or root my Sprint Samsung Galaxy SII GT-i9100 earlier today for the first time. Thought to myself how hard could this be? After flashing or rooting, when i try to go into recovery mode, the phone resets and goes back the phone title plus the triangle. I keep holding up + power button but like i said, it just reboots the boot screen. It will go into download mode but not recovery. Why? how can i fix this? i am a noob at this but i am willing to learn.

thanks:)

Sprint's Galaxy SII model is NOT the GT-i9100. The GT-i9100 is a GSM phone, which doesn't even work on Sprint's CDMA network.

The model number for the Sprint Galaxy SII is SPH-D710, and it is also known as the Epic 4g Touch. (you can confirm this yourself by looking at the model number which is printed on the label underneath your battery) If you flashed something from THIS forum (which is for the GT-i9100), then you did something wrong, and that is also why it is displaying GT-i9100 upon boot.

You can try to search for Heimdall, witch from what I understand is the Linux equivalent to Odin for Windows. I actually just removed Linux from my computer and reinstalled Windows specifically so I could root. I wasn't happy about it but I figured I would go with the tried and proven method to avoid any possible headache. I can say that mrRobinson's no flash counter trip method worked flawlessly for me on Windows though. I can't say anything about Heimdall though, as I was too nervous to try it.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] KlipperKyle:
There is some confusion about the different types of NFC tags available. From my understanding, there are:

NFC Forum Types 1-4 (open standard)

Mifare (an NXP proprietary technology)

Other proprietary formats

The Nexus 4 (and Nexus 10) can read and write the NFC Forum chips, but not the Mifare chips. This is because the devices have a Broadcom NFC chip instead of an NXP chip. <http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2040900>

I recently received five Samsung TecTiles for Christmas. Samsung TecTiles are Mifare chips, so neither my Nexus 4 nor Nexus 10 could read them. Setting them up required quite a bit of hacking.

Samsung's TecTile app could not write anything to the TecTile chips (because of the Broadcom adapter). So, I used an app called NFC Task launcher (<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jwsoft.nfcactionlauncher>). NFC Task Launcher could read the unique ID stored in the TecTile chip, but nothing else. Writing was impossible, giving an error saying "Could not write to this tag. It will still work..."

Therefore, nothing was written to the tag. However, when I scanned the tag with my Nexus 10, the Nexus 10 "read" the action I programmed and performed it.

How was this possible if the tag was not writable?

After a couple hours of messing around, I discovered that NFC Task Launcher didn't write anything to the tag. Instead, it sent the action to the server tags.to. tags.to appears to be a central database of tag IDs associated with their actions. When I scanned the tag with my Nexus 10, the Nexus 10 contacted tags.to to ask it what the action it should perform for the particular tag ID. Then the Nexus 10 cached the ID and associated action in a local database.

If I disable Wi-Fi on the Nexus 10 and scan a tag it has never seen, NFC Task Launcher complains saying "Sorry, something's not working. It may be your connection." What connection? NFC? No, Internet! (It's not very obvious.)

Problems with the Caching

There is an inherent bug with the caching technique NFC Task Launcher uses. If I "program" a Mifare tag with my Nexus 4, scan it with my Nexus 10 (so the Nexus 10 caches it), and then "reprogram" it with my Nexus 4, the Nexus 10 will not update the cached record and will perform the previous action I programmed into the tag.

How can we fix this?

It can be fixed with one command (consider saving this as a shell script):

rm /data/data/com.jwsoft.nfcactionlauncher/databases/TagStorage*

Of course, you will have to be rooted. This deletes the tag cache and its journal file. Then, scan all your tags again to recache them.

It really bothers me how all of this is hidden from the user, especially since it doesn't work correctly. It took nearly two hours of messing around with my devices before I finally discovered how the remote caching mechanism works.

The Moral of the Story

If you are buying NFC tags, look for NFC Forum compliant tags. They are fully compatible with the Nexus devices. If you have to use Mifare NFC chips (such as TechTiles), it is possible with NFC Task Launcher. Just beware the caching issue.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] krohnjw:
You could just ask and I'd have told you how it worked ;) Of course nothing is written to Classic 1K tags as you can't write to them with a Nexus 4. For all other compatible tags the full payload is written unless it is too large in which case we're leveraging a local cache and the cloud structure set up for cross device portability.

It's not a bug insomuch as it's not what you're expecting. That's how it was designed for the initial roll out. The caching was done to eliminate the need for a data connection to always be up and to minimize data consumption as well as allow multiple devices to continue to use a single tag without worrying about the size of the payload you want to store on that tag.

Expiration of caches is coming soon (likely in the next release which should be sub two weeks). Clearing local caches through preferences as well as auto expiration/update will be out soon (probably in the same release).

If you want to force clear it you can erase the tag in question, but this will also erase the cloud mapping. Removing the tags database is a bit of overkill, you could always just go into the app settings and clear data. The only thing you're saving in your method is user preferences.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] KlipperKyle:
Thanks! I look forward to the release. It's a great app. I find the NFC tags I programmed are very useful.

It would be great if the cloud database is mentioned in some way in the app description (or a help screen).

Have a Merry Christmas.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mrbkkt1:
Okay, how do I" write" a tag that can instruct s user to check in to a place, regardless of Samsung, or lg build? those type 1 tags barely have memory?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] KlipperKyle:
Krohnjw has more authority on this, but I will take my best shot.

Different phones support different types of tags. The Nexus 4 supports NFC Forum tags only. This is because of the hardware in the phone (namely the Broadcom NFC chip, which does not support Mifare). However, most Samsung phones support both NFC Forum tags and Mifare tags (because they have different NFC chips).

Basically, if you want to write to a Mifare tag, you will need a phone that supports it (Samsung in this example). If you have a phone that supports Mifare, you can write to the Mifare tag by using NFC Task Launcher.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] UZ7:
Weird cause I got my bro some Samsung TecTtiles for Christmas and writing/reading on it worked just fine (using Task Launcher), didn't give him error or anything.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] KlipperKyle:
If he used a Nexus 4, it worked fine because NFC Task Launcher just programmed itself to react to the UID stored on the tag. I can guarantee that nothing was written to the NFC tag.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] UZ7:
What do you mean? He programmed the tag just now and I used my phone and it did the task (send a text to a number).
