[HTC Sensation] wbdennis:
Is there a way to do a hardware analysis?

I have installed several different ROMs, including ICS and JellyBeans, and none work for the camera.
[HTC Sensation] wbdennis:
I tried the 4.2 camera fix already.
[HTC Sensation] wbdennis:
BUMP

just bumping this up to see if anybody is any good suggestions.
[HTC Sensation] juniorcurtis:
no operation

Hello,

The camera stopped working.

I did hard reset and nothing worked.

Installed rom (gt-i9500 ROM mkt6589) and also not caught.

I need help
[HTC Sensation] wbdennis:
It is a hardware issue, not a software issue. Mine is with HTC right now for the THIRD time for the camera...... Now they want to charge me $145 to fix it. Needless to say, never again will I have an HTC device.
[HTC Sensation] Pikaman:
Same Problem

I have the same problem, did a factory reset, fresh install of CM 10.2 but nothing.

Always getting the "can't access camera" error.

I'm thinking it is indeed a hardware issue unfortunately, but if anyone finds a solution I'm happy!
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
did you use a ruu.exe?
[HTC Sensation] Pikaman:
Nope, not yet, will this likely solve the problem?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
restores everything back to stock

if the issue persists then probably it is a hardware issue
[HTC Sensation] Pikaman:
Thanks for the tip! did an ruu.exe still doesn't wokr so probably a hardware issue
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
probably:(
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] patrix809:
quick question. does anyonw know how i could load any rom on win8? i recently upgraded and not the pc wont recognize the phone in bootloader. the pc sees the device and everything. i have the htc sync manager and downloaded the WIN7 drivers. not sure what else i could do.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] camo_flage:
The problem is that there are no ADB drivers for windows 8 yet becuase it is relatively new so you will have to find another computer running windows 7 or lower ( to a certain point )
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DinoSoup:
I bought the phone from my friend who didn't have the stock battery, and the one he gave me is terrible. Where can I buy the stock battery?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] shinigenEddy:
eBay sells them for around 6 USD. Alternatively, you can spend 10-11$ on eBay as well and get a anker 2200 mAh battery, which has slighty more capacity than the stock battery. =)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cletusarrarr:
dont think the one you get for 6$ would be original however anker make good batteries and is worth the 10$ investment, you could also look at an extended battery from hyperion or anker in tune of 4200~4400mah
[Galaxy S III Accessories] shinigenEddy:
Ah true they seem to be around 12$ for the OEM, not sure where I got 6 from haha. But yeah anker or hyperion is the way to go for 10$ batteries that have solid performance, otherwise if you want an extra 100 mAh you can go for the mugen 2300 for 40$.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrischoi:
I've been seeing the 2100 OEM batteries around $15. The ones that are less are Chinese counterfeits. Don't be dumb.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
buy direct from samsung.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jackobox:
Buy from samsung. There are many countfeit out there that may damage your phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] spoonerdee:
Bought this one a few months ago, paid 20 for it (looks like price went up)

http://www.thecellguru.com/Products/71619
[Galaxy S III Accessories] willywill:
why order one, just go to any Verizon, Best Buy AT&T any store and get it out way that fast they always have it in stock
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrischoi:
Or just buy from a reputable seller that doesn't sell counterfeits. Someone like this.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] trakz:
Honestly, if you want the NFC capability, buying from the official Samsung website is the way to go.

However, if NFC isn't necessary, Anker makes great batteries. I got 2 for a good deal. Been using all 3 and have good battery life.

You can get them off Amazon.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] youdontsee:
I have Anker 2200mAh battery and i can highly recommend it. I also have a cheap 4500mAh battery, which has lasted even 3 days in normal usage. With Anker/Hyperion 4200-4400mAh, you can probably get even 4-5 days, because they are much better quality.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
samsung has a oem 3000mAh extended battery kit with a battery cover to be released soon, some countries already have them available.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] radioboy:
Hey guys, I'm really looking for some help...my RAZR MAXX was one of the "lucky" ones that got updated to Jelly Bean on Christmas Eve...and I've been playing around with it, but have stayed completely stock - just as I was before the unexpected update. I decided to try out Nova Launcher (as I've used in the past) so that I could have the persistent Google Bar at the top.

Well, I decided to hook up to my Webtop and noticed that I wasn't too pleased with the way Nova looked...so I uninstalled it. Upon doing so, somehow, it ALSO deleted the phone's default homescreen and now I'm left with a black screen instead of my actual homescreen. NO IDEA WHY!!

I already tried re-installing Nova (by going to the Google Play Store on my PC and installing it via the web) and when I did, I immediately went into settings to cleared my defaults...and even doing that, my phone still only thinks that Nova is my sole launcher. The phone's default launcher is completely gone...even though it shows up under Settings>Manage Apps.

Can anyone please give me a suggestion about what to do? I really don't have time to sit in the Verizon store tomorrow waiting for them to figure it out and then give me a replacement. Please let me know what I can do, if anything. Have you ever heard of such a thing happening? I never had this kind of issue with ICS or GB on the RAZR.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DevAB:
Yea I never heard of that happening, weird.. try reinstalling here. http://d-h.st/H4T
[Nook Color General] Supovitz:
I know devices like Square and PayPal Go won't work because the headphone jack doesn't input microphone signals... so theoretically, could a USB credit card reader be accessed through host?

Curious about accepting payments!
[Nook Color General] DizzyDen:
"Theoretically" yes... if you are using a ROM with OTG support included... and the device provides linux based drivers (or uses standard drivers provided by linux) the devices could be used... as long as you have wifi available to the Nook when you need to process the payment.

[Desire HD General] quantaZ:
just checked spec of sony sola, cant find any thing better than desire hd except cpu.

a shame to have 512m ram work with dual core

if change, change sth obviously better
[Desire HD General] pitastrudl:
The dhd has some popular setbacks, like horrbile gps(but fixable) i fixed mine and it now locks in 3 seconds. The worst thing is the battery. Comparison:

HTC wildfire = 1300mah battery (much smaller screen)

desire hd = 1230mah battery(much bigger screen)

though its a great device, if you do not consider yourself a power user, which in that case the battery is your strongest setback, btu thats why i carry an extra bettery with me.

My advice:stick with it, it has great build quality, that lots of newer phones do not have, its a bit bulky but i prefer a great feel on the phone than have a feeling that my grip will break it in half(samsung cases)
[Desire HD General] pitastrudl:
First of all IMHO gps works best on gingerbread roms, atleast for me. First of all, try different radios, if on a sense gngerbread roms, flash the apropriate ril's. Im using the latest radio from july 2012, on Android revolution 7.1. i also changed the ntp servers to my country in the gps.conf file. also with gps status app, download the agps data for help with the lock. Also you could try the agps patch but im not using it since everything works fine.

Last resort is this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1318892 , i gave it to a friend that knows his way around soldering and so on. It did help quite alot. I get a lock now in 3 seconds. Take note that you loose your warranty with this fix and you can corrput something else if you do not know what you're doing,

Guys I would like to know Which is the best setup for games where we have plenty of memory.

Also some suggestion on Good games or emulators which have advantage of our gamepad.

Two years back I used to have an ext partition on my LG optimus one. It had internal memory of about 150 mb and I was having a One gb partition.

Thanks.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxiManBW:
how can I solve that problem?

I write the code in init.rc:

mv /com.anddoes.launcher_preferences.xml /data/data/com.anddoes.launcher/shared_prefs/

it returns such error:

<3>[ 0.640121] init: /init.rc: 351: invalid command 'mv'​

I tried both to write a script and to move toolbox with mv to the system root, but it returns the same error.

All the necessary folders exist
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxiManBW:
I created script and put it to /system folder

Then call it with:

service my_script /system/my_script.sh
class main
oneshot

and again received an error: <3>[ 61.921627] init: cannot find '/system/my_script.sh', disabling 'my_script'
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
Is you script executable and begins with the line "#!/system/bin/sh"?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxiManBW:
Yes!

just in case, I used chmod 777 and first line begins with the line "#!/system/bin/sh".

Error no longer appears, but script doesn't work:

#!/system/bin/sh
if [-a /com.anddoes.launcher_preferences.xml]
cp /com.anddoes.launcher_preferences.xml /data/data/com.anddoes.launcher/shared_prefs/
rm /com.anddoes.launcher_preferences.xml
fi

I may be wrong calling service?

service my_script /system/my_script.sh
class main
oneshot
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
I guess cp works, but not rm? Root is remounted read-only quite early in init.rc

Edit: Also, I've told you to use full paths. And that if-syntax...? It's sure not standard shell test syntax.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gurumath:
Did it work?

I think init.rc only understands absolute paths... I mean, replacing mv with the below might work.

/system/bin/mv XXX YYY

-pradeep.

---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------

I have a similar question regarding init.rc.

I am trying to run a native application (which downloads the wifi firmware to dongle). I need this to be done before the wifi driver module is insmod'ed. Accordingly, I have an entry in init.rc with 'exec' command to run it -- at the end of "on init" section.

exec /system/bin/downloader -n /system/etc/wifi/xyz.nvm /system/etc/wifi/fake.trx

This command doesn't seem to run although I don't see any errors in the boot log.

I also tried a combination of 'service' commands like:

service downloader /system/bin/downloader -n /system/etc/wifi/xyz.nvm /system/etc/wifi/fake.trx

disabled

oneshot

Same result: no error in the bootlog but firmware not downloaded.

Any idea what might be wrong with the commands here? I am on JB-MR1.

-pradeep.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cse001:
So here is the thing I read somewhere that exec are just added for show and they don't actually work

I am not entirely sure of the above statement, but what I am sure of is that you can write a script and add it to the init.rc to get your work done

---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 AM ----------

It is not about the wrong service being called.

It is the fact that the service has been defined but you need to call the service at some instant by adding the command

'start yourServiceName'

That is if you want to start your service at boot time, you will need to add the following lines

on property:sys.boot_completed=1

start my_script

Here is a full version of a script that I wrote, this was to toggle wifi at regular interval of time

My Shell Script - init.custom.sh

#!/system/bin/sh

while true; do

svc wifi disable

sleep 10

svc wifi enable

sleep 60

done

My Code inside init.rc

service custom /system/bin/init.custom.sh

user root

oneshot

on property:sys.boot_completed=1

write /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/scheduler cfq ## This was already present

start custom

I know this is a very late reply, but I started exploring these things recently.

Hope this helps someone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsusx:
...Who seems to be getting worse battery life since I've rooted and installed CM10 and Franco Kernel than stock.

Before with stock I was only losing about 1% every two hours on standby (sometimes even better I've no idea how)

Now I'm losing about 3% an hour on standby and also about 30% an hour screen time with just basic browsing (Screen brightness set to auto).

Also Media server is hammering my battery. Like I lost 3% battery in 15 mins without the screen on just playing music (not streaming) is that normal, I've come from an iphone 4s which didn't lose that in an hour :S

have i flashed it badly is there something else maybe i should try or are these stats about right ????

thanks guys
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
That's just the way it is just custom roms. When flashing, put your head between your legs and pray for the best. You can spend hours trying to figure out what's gone wrong, but you might never get an answer.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android88:
You can try underclocking your N4. Currently my dual-core Snapdragon S3 T-Mo Galaxy S2 is underclocked to 810MHz from 1.5GHz and performance is still great. I'm guessing you can UC your N4 to at least 1.2-1GHz and performance will still be great because of the quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU. Also, what governor and i/o are you using?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsusx:
Hi Gents

Thanks for the reply, yeah it does seem a bit of a hit and miss kinda situation, I'm not masively bothered, im hoping eventually someone will stumple across a fix for the way the screen murders the battery life but im not holding my breath. Still love the phone, really getting used to it now, have tried (and failed) many times to switch to android, must be honest, this is the closest I've come so far to waving bye bye to ios, android is really really fantastic as an os, it's also super pretty to look at these days, stock apps like contacts, calender and the phone app itself are beautiful.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calanizzle:
Let the phone and battery have several cycles, it will improve, eventually

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Under clocking your phone isn't a viable situation. It's a phone, what's the point in it if you're not going to use it to your fullest when my phone lasts through the whole day going from 384-1500?

Some battery tips for op:

- download better battery stats (Google it for a xda version) use this to debug wakelock and ensure your phone is deep sleeping under cpu states. You can also use cpu spy to check cpu stats. Better battery stats is a must need.

- disable Google latitude in maps. Disable the automatic reporting and any other checked marks

- disable Google now cards that you have no use for

- disable gps (some apps use gps and drains battery when it keeps using gps when it isn't necessary)

- ensure your governor is interactive and on latest version of Franco (r20 is very good)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
Just stick with the stock kernel that comes with cm10.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Highly advise doing that. Other kernels are way more optimized whereas CM is focused on the ROM itself and not optimizing the stock kernel.

I believe CM10 uses stock Google kernel anyways (could be wrong).

Use Franco Kernel or anybody elses kernel that you choose to.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m3lover1:
Mine definitely improved after rooting and flashing custom ROM. Battery life when I was still stock was horrible.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Kernel is what makes battery life better, not a ROM.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AshtonTS:
A rom can make the battery life better as well...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
A ROM has very minimal battery life improvements, it isn't as significant as a kernel. Hence the definition of "better"

This is my first post on this forum. I have been following this forum for quite some time and just now registered in order to ask a question about the PacMan Rom (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2004648). I downloaded it yesterday and was having an issue with the SD card so today i made a rookie mistake and wiped the SD car as well as the phone. Now I am trying to re-download the Rom from the link provided in the Rom post but it says it isnt available or has been deleted. Anyone know why this is. I just got it yesterday.

I would have posted this question into the PacMan Rom DEV thread however I dont have the permission to do that yet.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zetsui:
I dont have the dough to buy a Nexus 4 but two things I was curious about since my cousin bought one.

1. How's the battery life and how do you like the screen? Which phone is crispier, oversatured, brighter , more colored, warmer?

2. My cousin who is crazy about rooting was like it comes as plain as google makes it and didn't want to even root it. That's amazing, but don't you guys miss the custom roms and the independence and development of settings they give you? One thing I've doubted has been google's ability to follow up great product releases with good updates like independent developers do, does google really roll out good updates to make it a comparison between indie roms and their OS?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Genestealer:
Dafuq you talking about?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Net.silb:
Bought the Nexus 4 coming from the S3, GT-I9300 Model. When I got the N4 I sold my S3 without thinking twice, and I even had money to spare! In terms of the build quality, the S3 felt like a piece of cheap plastic that I can break with my hands, on the other hand, the N4's build quality is excellent and premium.

Before I got the N4 I had an S2 and an S3, which both sported a Super Amoled screen. Now, when it comes to the argument between LCD and Amoled, it all comes down to your opinion, it took me half an hour to get used to the N4's screen and when I looked at the S3 again, I hated it's over saturated look. The thing I do miss a little from Amoled are the blacks, the N4 blacks aren't as dark.

In terms of software, I am free from Touch-wiz!!! Wow, what a relief, finally android at it's best. The N4 is miles faster than the S3, it is smoother, snappier and project butter clearly has a major effect on smoothness (Samsung basically canceled project butter in their JB updates...).

I rooted my N4 and flashed CM 10.1 on it and I am happier with that than stock, but the need to root and flash ROMs on the N4 is only for people who like doing it for fun, because stock android is very close to perfect already. When Android Key Lime Pie is released, I am sure it will be a great update and the N4 will receive it right away.

Last thing - battery. The S3's and the N4's battery life are pretty much the same so I'm not going to go into that much. Just like in the S3, if you want to improve battery life, you UC and UV using a custom kernel or you disable some apps and etc...

To sum up, I believe there is no reason for anyone who has an S3 to keep it, they can sell it, buy the N4, and still have money to spare! Besides, the N4 is definitely the superior handset.

Coming from the S3 and Note 2 and now enjoying the Nexus 4 for a week i must say it is a magnificent device. It is smooth, responsive and i xperience no lags at all. Running CM10.1 nightlies with Franco kernel. And finaly software without a manufacturers shell (Touchwizz).
