[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChazZeromus:
This is the current status of my kindle:

1) Turning on the Kindle will simply display the "Kindle Fire" logo and nothing else. Nothing else happens.

2) ADB does work with a normal cable. However, I'm missing the shell. So I get these messages when performing shell commands:

- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

3) I ordered a factory cable but am really unsure what to do with it. I works the same as the normal cable except ADB does not work at all. Listing devices with "adb devices" lists nothing whatsoever.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
You need access to recovery to reinstall a new ROM. To access recovery you need to change the bootmode (possibly even install it). You can only do this with a working shell or in fastboot. In order to access fastboot you need temporary fastboot (FireFireFire only), a working shell, or a factory cable.

Plugging the factory cable into the device while it's turned off will power it up into fastboot.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChazZeromus:
Alright, well is there a guide to do this on windows? Specifically speaking, with a factory cable. Also is there any different to what the kindle should do when it's in fastboot? Is the screen still the same or is there something different when it's in fastboot mode?

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChazZeromus:
Okay um, since I'm stuck at the logo regardless of whether I use the factory cable or not, I'm guessing I have no bootloader? And that I must resort to opening the kindle?

Actually! I think I got fastboot to work. The display lights up indefinitely. Alright so, what the hell do I do now? What guides can I follow to flash this damn thing from my computer?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
No

You are stuck at the boot animation...there is a difference. Read the fastboot guide I linked to.

Okay, let me start off by saying I'm not entirely sure if this is a device issue, or a service issue.

Whenever I try to send an SMS, it spins that damn circle and eventually throws a failed message. Sometimes the addressee receives the text, more often than not, they don't.

So my question is, does anyone else have this issue? If so, how'd you fix it? If not, any advice or next steps I should take?

EDIT: Calls work just fine, it's only texting.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KillaHurtz:
What ROM are you on ? How man bars of signal do you have when you are experiencing the issue ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mattjorgs:
Stock jelly bean. I had full bars but signal was roughly -87dBm with I think 11 amu. It started later in the evening but the next day everything was back to normal.

Must've been an outage.

I just purchased a Samsung Tab 2 7 and am hoping to get Miracast capabilities.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImWarped:
While your enthusiasm is laudable, the fact that only 1 compatible adapter for television makes your question irrelevant ;) give it another year, at which point more consumer products are available, and you'll want a new tablet anyhow ;)

To end this question, yes android 4.2 support Miracast capabilities but not for our device. it just for nexus 4.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chunlianghere:
anyone experience Xperia V cannot wake up or hang in standby?

it happens at nite after i sleep. but when i wake up, i press the power button several times but the screen doesnt on. notification light is working and blinking.

only way is to remove battery. its been happening everyday. even alarm is not working. checked my backup(sms, call log), it didnt backup. :crying:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] buljo:
I at least dont have that problem. Is your phone stock? Rooted etc?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Izumi-kun:
I have this problem too. Not rooted. Probably, while charging this problem not appears.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] crazymister:
Wrong section. This belongs in Q&A.

And for your problem, few users with.XT and XTX also reported similar problems. They are known as SoD (Sleep of Death).

There is no known fix yet. One users took it back to the store and the the Sony tech guru told him it's an isolated problem and he got a new one. So I suggest you go back to the store.

For anyone using adw launcher, one user reported that that caused his SoD. When he uninstalled that it was gone. Can be an app.

Try factory reset, and start first day without installing apps. And day by day add a new app, this way you can rule out if apps cause the problem.

Also format internal and external sdcard. Don't just empty them by wiping, you should really format, so no traces of possible app malfunction can be found back by the system.

Did I help? please press thanks button
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chunlianghere:
after several days of testing, it doesnt hang on mine for 3 days already.

i guess its because there is a additional line in build prop "dalvik.vm.heapsize=36m" that cause this? this also cause my Need For Speed Most Wanted to force close too.

i also increase min clock freq to 594MHz.

also run TempMonitor(paid) on my notification bar.

not sure the above method works for most of u.. but try if it works. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Scott Y:
I've got this problem since the first day. Got the phone, booted it up without even installing a sim card/downloading anything, plugged it into the charger, and it froze.

Since then it would go a few days without freezing, or it would freeze 3 times a day. The freezing always happen in standby mode.

Since it froze on a fresh system with no apps installed, it can't be app-related. There are users who have never experienced this problem, so I suppose the only way is to return the phone or take it to your local sony service center.

Normally it would just hang there and you'd have to pull the battery out. There was once where it hung and the phone got incredibly hot, and battery would be drained really fast.

Currently I am experimenting with keeping WiFi OFF, and surprisingly the phone has been fine for 4 days straight without freezing now. Its just something I'm trying and by no means this is a fix, but returning the phone to a sony store isn't an option for you, you might want to see if this works for you.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chunlianghere:
for those still having SOD, maybe u can try this. not sure it helps or not. because before i install jellybean, i review the code in build.prop first. so that is why it didnt happen on me for 2 weeks. well, i test it out yesterday.

use either ES file explorer or Root explorer, go to system -> build.prop.

find this line dalvik.vm.heapsize=36m, put a # in front of it to disable this code.

it could be because there is another similar code, thus conflict. u can find another similar line at the bottom of build.prop.

hope it helps! :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] scythekain:
Have you had anymore sod since disabling that?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chunlianghere:
before i install custom rom jellybean, i already disable that. didnt had any SOD since than.

but of cos 1 day i decided to test it out, and it SOD the next morning.

I have even flashed the phone back to stock with odin, but it is still stuck in roaming. The IMEI number and the ERI are completely intact, as I checked with the Samsung MEID Repair.

Not sure what to do now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pkd600:
Odin to Root66 and enter the reprovision code into the dialer

Hi could you remind me what the provision code is?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] st3wart:
Thank you

---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 AM ----------

What does it mean when nothing happens? And for add measure I just Odin stock root66.

My problem is I can't make or receive calls. I can't send texts either but I can receive them. Imei is still present and eri is 5. Imeisv is 01.. Don't know what that means
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ajrty33:
Since that doesn't work, flash the latest cm10.1, change CDMA subscription to ruim/sim under mobile settings and toggle airplane mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pkd600:
Did you enter the code after you flashed to Root66? You need to Odin to Root66 first, then enter the code. It will factory reset your device if you are on Root66, so make sure you back up your data first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cmbg:
I had to change to airplane mode before I put in the provision code, when I entered the code my phone restarted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pkd600:
Yes, your phone is supposed to restart when you put that code in. Haven't heard of the airplane mode thing before. The code wouldn't work until you put it into airplane mode?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] p3ppino:
I had the same issue

I had the same issue with my galaxy s3. did the airplane mode fix work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] st3wart:
Yes i tried after Odin to root66 and put in the provision code and nothing happened. I'll try a non rooted Odin stock ROM and see what happens. Does matter that my modem never changed when I Odin root66 ? Still on the newest modem. Maybe that's the reason the provision code didn't work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdub251:
Ok all u have to do is flash cm 10.1 without g apps and it will take you past the activation screen and change.it mobile network settings like someone posted before and reboot. When phone powers up you should have everything back. Once you do that u can boot into recovery and flash away
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] st3wart:
Dirty flash or wipe and flash ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdub251:
Once u get data back u should b able to clean install the Rom of your choice. The problem is when people leave cm 10.1 roaming they r roaming on every Rom. When u leave cm 10.1 u need to have data before installing another Rom.

Got in contact with HTC because of the Prox. Sensor bug they had me download this file and reflash the ROM, but it didn't fix the problem. I thought I would post this here in case anyone wanted it. I know the RUU is already on here.

this is basicly an RUU rite? i wish there was a fix for the prox sensor.. im sensor is all f ed up since jelly bean dropped :(:(

Weird, is this widespread? I didn't have any issues with stock or custom (Pacman) ROM I am using now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Spyderekz:
happens to me, when i call some one the screen goes black, and i can turn it on with the power button but when i put it up to my ear it goes black again and doesnt come on when i move it away as its supposed to
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdawg0024:
Yes this is like the RUU except you put this file on the ROOT of your SD card and boot into HBOOT and it will reflash the ROM.. This is for STOCK UNROOTED phones.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] djisia87:
Great post man. I am not having luck with ruu. It will be great if you post MD5 to confirm the download.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdawg0024:
Not sure how to make one of those as I didn't get one from HTC
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MrSteez:
I'm gonna try this. I've been having a serious bug with my phone where it essentially will stop responding to touch. If I do a simpull it starts working again but it'll stop soon after. Done factory resets, cache wipes, etc. Now I'll have to try this just in case. (I already have a new phone ordered on its way but I might as well cover all my bases)

So this is just the totally stock software from HTC and I don't need a root or an unlocked bootloader or anything? Cuz I haven't done any of that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdawg0024:
This is the stock Factory image
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MrSteez:
Alright well I tried it and it didn't fix my problem anyways. Replacement's on its way!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nextlevel_44:
mine said signiture failed. Can anyone advise
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdawg0024:
Try redownloading it..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nextlevel_44:
I did. I am on hboot 2.09.0000 radio 1.05.11.0606 stock recovery and relocked if that helps at all. I have tried running the JB ruu and it takes about 3 min but my phone is still tampered and wont reboot
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
The JB RUU is screwed up. I've downloaded it a few times and it doesn't actually make any changes
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nextlevel_44:
Is There any ruu i can run other than that one seeing that i am on hboot 2.09.0000 i tried this file again and it goes through the whole process then does nothing
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xHausx:
That means the file is either corrupted or has been modified. Can you check what the md5 for the copy you have is?

edit: If you have a mac it'll automatically break the signature when you download it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Mac......yuck
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdawg0024:
Ok I finally got lucky. When I 1st flashed this file it had no affect on the P. Sensor. (Still didn't work). All of a sudden today its working perfectly, including VVM. (No longer getting a black screen while listening to messages). I don't know what would have caused it to start working but it is now. My phone is still 100% Stock

Edit: Upon further review the P. Sensor is still messed up. It will work flawlessly when outside during the day (bright light) but still turns the screen off under low light situations
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nextlevel_44:
Thank you for your help, I redownloaded the file and it appears to load and go through the motions but in the end it ends up back at the bootloader screen still saying tampered. I am trying to get this phone back to stock and nothing I try from the ruu to this img doesnt work. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tankerkevo:
Next, there's a thread where a few of us who have this issue are discussing it. It seems to be more widespread than most seem to think. I think it is anyone who was S-ON running a custom Jelly Bean ROM and then used the recently released RUU. This is my speculation, but I recommend subscribing to the following thread:

will do thank you
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PedroDaGr8:
I had a possibly similar issue but on HBOOT 1.15. I was using MeanROM, wanted to downgrade and then S-Off using LazyPanda. I downgraded my bootloader succesfully, then tried to install the RUU. I relocked, tried to install the RUU but it failed and I basically ended up stuck at the bootloader screen. What I figured out is that despite the bootloader being relocked, the BOOT IMAGE is still the old one. When it tried to install the RUU apparently it uses something in the boot.img to check the signature of the one in the RUU. It would then fail signature check. So what I did was reunlock, flash the signed boot.img (contained inside the zip), relocked again and IIRC it seemed to work properly after that.

So I'm in a bind. I like both the Ballistic SG and the Otterbox commuter and I'm terribly torn. I'm using this case in conjunction with the Qi wireless charging pad. The downside to this charging pad is that it creates a slight dome effect where the pad lays. I've seen that the Ballistic SG and the Defender doesn't get affected by the dome effect. (I'm assuming the commuter should do fine).

What do you guys think? Should I go Ballistic or Commuter?

Link to Ballistic SG: http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/samsung-galaxy-s-3-ballistic-shell-gel-series-case

Link to Otterbox Commuter: http://www.otterbox.com/Samsung-Galaxy-S3-Commuter-Series/SAM4-GALAXY-S3,default,pd.html
[Galaxy S III Accessories] monstratman:
I own both cases and prefer to use the Ballistic SG.

I think the Otterbox offers slightly better protection but is way too slippy to hold due to its smooth back. Which has led to a couple falls. Both phone and case were undamaged.

The Ballistic SG is easier to handle due to the textured back of the case imo. It also offers great protection for the phone, minus the port coverings of the Otterbox.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:
Ballistic sg handsdown.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] DigitalUnderground:
Just bought the commuter today. It has slipped out of my hands twice so far lol. My ninja reflexes caught it both times. It feels super sturdy, it looks nice, and seems like it will do the trick nicely. Only complaints so far are the fact it's slippery and heavy.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
makes me wonder if i can rubberize the backing to solve that... is there such a thing as clear rubberizing spray?

EDIT: I'm half thinking of spray painting the plastic part red then rubberizing it (if possible) not sure if it is feasible though

Ok I changed my mind. The otterbox sux. Its a pain in the ass to take off and put on. And most importantly, it messes up s beam. So im returning it tomorrow
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
the otterbox blocks nfc? O.o
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DigitalUnderground:
I try s beaming pics to my son's s3 and it works with the case off and doesn't with the case on.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
damn.. that's seriously weird.. NFC should work within the 1.5cm range even if there's plastic/silicone.. not sure why the commuter case would block that..

I use NFC everyday so that's a massive thing for me..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DigitalUnderground:
Connection kept erroring out... Soon as I took off case it worked fine.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
Then it has something to do with the build material of the commuter case then.. that's really messed up though.. i was told it works with the qi wireless charging kit.. i'm surprised it didn't work w/ nfc

If that's the case, i might have to take an nfc tag with me and go to the mall to check it out again...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] andrewluera:
I have the otter box defender case triple layered and NFC and S beam work for me and the recipient also has a commuter case. I'd say otter box is the way to go.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gilbequick:
Sg, it has more grip. If you're only concerned about protection then the Ob.

If it was easy you'd of hired the guy at Home Depot to to it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:
More ballistic protection. Take a look at the sg maxx. I just ordered few mins ago. Wifey has the sg. Sg maxx has bigger bumpers and hard plastic screen guard and not to mention clip holster which i need.

Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi :P
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
I just went to the local mall and tested the commuter and the sg maxx.

as far as I know, both wireless charging with the qi kit and nfc works. I tested out the nfc with a tag that I have and it went into day/night mode just fine. wireless charging also works although I haven't tested it out for an extended period of time since I was at the store.

the signal did pick up and the phone def started charging though.

so now I just have to figure out which one I like best...

I noticed the commuter's button are ridiculously stiff and offers no feedback of the button being pressed... but I like the curvature.

the ballistic sg maxx is pretty nice with good curves and easy installation.

I'm going to wait till the end of the week to see which one wins out then make a decision but I am currently leaning towards the ballistic sg (if the maxx is any indication of the sg...)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:
Good info. Sg maxx just has more beef on the corners, screen guard, and holster. Those are the only differences from the sg non maxx

Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi :P
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Edd91:
Ballistic is great
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gilbequick:
People complain about the stiffness of the button press of the Commuter but for me that's actually a selling point. I keep my phone in my pocket ALL the time throughout the day when I'm not using it. I like that the buttons don't get pressed when I don't want them to. When pressed you do feel the click of the button. You get used to the feel really quick.

If it was easy you'd of hired the guy at Home Depot to to it.

I'm not planning on getting the maxx because i personally do not use a holster nor do i like the extra bump on the corners.. (i know it's more cushion for the droppin, but it rarely drop my stuff and the sg seem to be able to handle damage just fine)

I'm still waiting to see more opinions as to which they would go for..

I'm also wondering for the otterbox commuter users, does the stiff button not bother you at all?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:
yeah the sg would suite your needs. About the otterbox, So far the most common complaints about the commuter are super stiff button and lack of grip (slippery)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
I just saw another thread reviewing the commuter, and some mentioned that the buttons get less stiff after a few weeks. I'm just worried that it wont really loosen up to be able to have a similar response to the sg.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:
Go with your gut. My wife has the ballistic sg, the buttons are soft and easy to press. Adds not so much bulk. Quality is great along with protection. IMO the ballistic cases are under rated. Otterbox is more popular and more people tend to buy just cause of the branding. Ive had both the ob defender and the commuter before, and will never buy them again. Simple reasons, the defender skin stretches and disfigures, the commuter port covers fell with in 3-4 months along with rubber stretching aswell. The otterbox warranty team is top notch tho.
