Power it up and root the darn thing. Then install an ics rom. Hopefully your problem will resolve.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
And it won't boot up correct?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nicky89107:
Yes, and it wont go into recovery or download mode
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Man that sucks. Best advice I can give you is to call Samsung. If it's under a year they will warranty it. If it's over a year they may charge you. There a pretty good company when it comes to honoring their warranty so it's worth a shot. Sounds like critical hardware failure to me.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] funktron:
Hello all,

Just got the Note 2 today, and the first thing I wanted to do was get it rooted so I could get my Ti Backups going for some of my apps.

I attempted to use Mr.Robinson's root-injected Stock Rom, but had no luck.

I've used Odin lots of times with my Sammy Sprint OG Galaxy S Epic 4G, so I've tried every trick I know from that - still no dice.

Here's my scenario with the most info I can think to provide (not at home, at work now on a Mac):

• Windows 7, fully updated, no issues there

• Samsung drivers from that thread installed and reinstalled - only thing I have NOT done is manually uninstall and reinstall, maybe this is the key?

• Odin 3.07 from said thread installed. It has no problem connecting with the phone

• Phone is not rooted, fully stock, brand spanking new and works like a charm (but not with the newest TMob update that includes the multi-window)

• Downloaded the proper .7z, unzipped, MD5 checks out. Odin agrees that it checks out.

• Proper boxes are checked (Auto Reboot, F.Reset) and I'm putting the root66_TMO_T889UVALJ1.tar.md5 in the PDA field

•*Tried three cables. Two are fresh-out-of-box USB from the brand-new Note 2s, the other is one that has worked with EVERY other phone I've owned or serviced that uses micro-USB

What happens is that it gets through the MD5 check, and then it gets to SetupConnection - but after 30ish seconds stops and says write failed, big FAIL in red, like some of us know all-too-well...

Any ideas? I'm def going to reinstall the drivers from scratch. Should I look for a different version of Odin?

Thanks for anyone who has some advice! I'd love to be able to root this puppy so I can do some minor modding fun.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] funktron:
UPDATE (for anyone who might have cared, lol):

Other root method (Odining Chainfire's Auto-Root CF) worked just fine in Odin.

I probably got a bad download on the other one.

Hi, Im currently using the XXLSJ rom with its default kernel. The phone will shut down by itself and short pressing of the power button does not wake it up. It can only be restarted by long pressing the power button for 10s, and the battery will drop by almost 30%. This problem mostly occur during extended periods of not using the phone when Im sleeping. Attached is the screen shot of the battery profile. Please help!

U can try to flash a new kernel for example Siyah's (gokhanmoral.com)

But at all I think a reflash or a factory reset wouldn't be wrong, too...

Can the resolution of the screen be modified like a computer monitor? I'm wondering because we could increase battery life of the device if the GPU doesn't need to push as many pixels. I'm assuming its hard set though.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty2k:
I'm no expert but I would expect the display controller is preset to only drive the display in its native resolution.

Even if you could change it I doubt it would save power. The same number of pixels would need to be sent to the display. You'd just be changing where the work was done. The display controller would have to use more power to scale the image rather than driving 1:1 to the display.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beerope:
Please, tell me how you can remove pixels of a computer screen.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] semlethe3rd:
Please do not comment if you have nothing to add to a thread. Yes an LCD screen can not change the amount of pixels it outputs, its hardware after all, but the amount of pixels being processed by the gpu can potentially be changed and then interpolated to fit the native resolution of the screen. I was just interested in what people think that have more experience then I have with the device.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bioorganic:
I looked into this quite a bit when trying to get better game performance. Changing DPI settings doesn't change the resolution. I'd really like a 1/2 res option, which would be 1280x800.... perfect for games. I couldn't find any way to do this, and I think it would need to be implemented at the kernel/graphics driver level. There was a post on the N10 gaming thread, where someone had started some sort of Google petition to implement features like this. The link from that thread had far more info than I can provide, but I got the impression that this isn't a trivial modification.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] semlethe3rd:

Screen DPI =/= Actual Resolution. In short, changing screen DPI is basically changing the size of text and buttons, but not the general resolution those said things run at.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] EraserX33:
Hello all,

I have a GTab 8.9 from AT&T. I performed the ICS upgrade last night using Kies and it seemed to load correctly with no errors however the touch screen does not work now. It boots up fine but I cannot do anything with the screen. Power and volume buttons seem to be working fine.

I was able to reboot the device by holding the power button in and then go into download mode and do a factory reset. That went with no errors but the touch screen still does not work.

So, next I thought I would use Odin and try to push the factory rom back to it however Odin never sees the device, (tried multiple usb ports and 2 different pc's Win7 32b and 64b) However if I go ahead and let the GTab boot on up Odin does see it at that point. I can also get to the internal sdcard via my computer.

I also tried to copy the 7300_cwmr files to the sdcard and rebooted back to download mode. I selected apply update from sdcard and went into each of the directories but the device does not see any files in the directories, just the directories themselves.

So.... at this point I'm at a loss what to try next and I'm hoping someone on this forum can give me a nudge in the right direction.

I did reinstall the usb driver

Odin sucessfully recognized this device in download mode 'before' the ICS upgdate, not after.

I am using the factory usb cable and I did try a second one.

I was running version 3.2 before the upgrade.

Not ever rooted

Kies recognizes the device as well, can kies be used to flash my device? (sorry if that's a stupid question)

Thanks ahead
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jd1639:
Are you sure you're in download mode, not recovery, when you try Odin. If kies recognizes the device I can't believe Odin won't.

Is the stock rom file you're trying to flash a zip file or a .tar.md5? The recovery is looking for a zip file and that may be why you didn't see it in any folder. Odin uses the tar file.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] EraserX33:
Thanks for the reply.

Yes I am in download mode. As I mentioned, Odin was able to see my GT before I upgraded to ICS, but not after. At least not in DL mode. If I let the GT go ahead and boot up Odin recognizes it with the port showing up in it's normal amber color.

It boots up fine, the touch screen is not working though so I can't use the GT. Once it boots up I can see it in my computer and place files on on it.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jd1639:
Have you tried fixing permissions when you're in recovery mode? Do you have a custom recovery installed our the stock recovery, and if custom which one?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] EraserX33:
I apologize, I'm not sure what you mean by fixing permissions while in recovery mode. I do not see that option on the screen. Everything is factory on the GT. I have not installed a custom recovery. The only change to the device from stock was the ICS upgrade that I just performed via Kies.

Is there a way that I can recover the device back to 3.2 using either Kies or while in DL/recovery mode? When the device boots I can see it and add files via my computer. Can I place the stock rom that I have downloaded from sammobile on the devices sdcard and reboot into DL mode and do a restore from sdcard? Is there a different way to do this without Odin?

Odin... I am not sure why it is not recognizing it while in DL mode. Odin will recognize it after the device boots. Actually Odin recognizes it just after the "Samsung" logo displays... while the AT&T "Rethink Possible" startup video is playing Odin will see it at that point. Not before. Quite frustrating actually. (I have tried multiple pc's and usb ports)

Thanks again for the help and apologies if I am asking stupid questions.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jd1639:
With the device off, hold down the power and both volume keys. When you see the Samsung logo release the power key but continue to hold down the volume keys for 2 seconds then release them. That should get you into down load mode. It'll say something about pressing the volume up key to continue. Have Odin running and then plug on the usb cable. Have you done something like that?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] EraserX33:
ok... so I found an old "XP" laptop here at my office and downloaded the usb driver and Odin again and wnet into DL mode and for whatever reason Odin sees it on the XP machine. (whatever) grrr

Anyway... I downloaded and tried pushing both of the roms I found on sammobile.com for AT&T ( i957UCKJ7 and i957UCLK4) to my GT8.9, both times they completed successfully and when rebooting the touch screen would not work.

Is the rom still available for 3.2? Can I revert back to what came with it when it was originally released?

Thanks again for the assistance.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jd1639:
It sounds like you have a bigger problem than putting the stock Rom on it is going to fix. If you're still under warranty I'd take it in.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] EraserX33:
Yeah I called them up and can toss it back at them, which I will do if I cant find an original factory rom to try and push to it.

I'm still searching for one though I have not been able to find one yet. Can anyone point me to a factory rom for this device?

I'd like to try and flash it back to stock before I send it back to them (if possible) as the touch screen was working just fine before I pushed out the update via kies the other day. Once the update finished and it rebooted, the touch screen did not work after that.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jd1639:
Go to sammobile.com for the stock roms. You'll have to sign-up but it's free.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] EraserX33:
Yeah I've been to that site, that's where I got the 2 I mentioned above (i957UCKJ7 and i957UCLK4). I believe the UCLK4 file is ICS, correct? I'm not sure what version the UCKJ7 file is. I did try both. Those were the only 2 roms I could find there for the 8.9 ATT GT. I'll go back and look again. Maybe I missed it.

Thanks for your help
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jd1639:

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] EraserX33:
In a small way I'm glad to see that others are experiencing this also.

I wonder if anyone out there has a completely stock rom or knows where I can pick one up? I have tried the 2 over at sammobile and neither brought my touch screen back. I have searched and searched online and can't find anything.

I was reading on a different site while researching this issue and he said he reverted back to his original factory image and the touch screen functionality came back. I'd really just like to get my GT back up and running somehow until this ICS touch screen problem gets figured out.

Thanks ahead for any help.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jd1639:
Sammobile is the stock roms. Use the oldest one, honeycomb. The download is a zip file. To use Odin you'll need to extract the .tar.md5 file out of the zip. Use 7-zip to do that.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] EraserX33:
Yeah I've tried both of the roms on sammobile. Didn't work.

Well, thanks very much for the help. I'll keep checking here through tomorrow to see if anyone else has a suggestion to try and if not I will just mail it back to Samsing on Monday. I hate doing that because I need it for a trip on the 15th. Grrr

So, not sure what happened during the ICS update but something did which caused my TS to go bad. New one it and it's working.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] afwolfpacked:
What I can see is wifi on battery drains from wifi alarm on polls for times. Also Facebook apparently has instant notifications on and avast looks like it is checking on Facebook. That means 2 active apps running on wifi with clock running so system isn't going to sleep. Try limiting Facebook checks and do manual checks for between times that it checks. Smartwifi toggle app is also good as if you leave wifi area wifi shuts down saving battery. Alarm well not much goes on there but will wake device to make sure your alarm is accurate.

As a side note I am down to about 1% drain per hour on slimbean overclocked to 1612

Location Services/ Weather Widget

Howdy:

I stumbled into this thread since I was having the same difficulty with the stock weather widget. (AT&T's version of the LG Optimus G)

It was set to update, I had enabled location services but still got 'Cannot retrieve current location' when either updating

or attempting to set 'current location' as the location from the enter cities dialog.

I rebooted the phone, tried again and this time was prompted to enable Google location services and at that point

got a consent dialog asking permission - I think the first time (This is a new phone) I might have declined permission.

After this, everything seemed to work OK

This may or may not be the issue you're encountering but since it solved it for me I thought it might help someone else in the same boat.
