I finally charged the battery with an external charger, I reflashed a custom rom and the device woke up and know normally works!!!

Thanks all for your help!!!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyfviperx:
Hi, if you dont want this to happen again use one of those (look at post 23) cable while flashing.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firecode95:
I sugest you to make a factory cable http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1077414 whit it you doesn't need a battery and you can fully acces to your phone. Then try flash new recovery through fastboot and then try recovery, if it doesn't help try to pull out sd card.

Do not try sbf it's very dangerous to flash fully system just whit sbf, I sugest RSD lite use once for one reason TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER

P.S

If nothing doesn't help flash system whit fastboot but probiably you can try flash recovery images (.img) too.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stauf99:
So after the OTA 75 MB update (GT-N8013 4.0.4) I noticed these annoying new features with S Note and was wondering if anyone else had them and new how to fix them.

1. whenever I open a note the brightness goes up to over 9000 (auto brightness is not on)

2. I can't hide the menu with the pen, eraser, and all those other options when I'm taking notes anymore (the faint up arrow in the upper right corner is GONE)

I'm praying for a way to downgrade but I can't find a way anywhere.

This all may just be my problem cause some weird stuff happened after I unrooted (it like unrooted and updated at the same time).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
This is the new version of S-Notes... If ou want to change it you will need to re-install an older version....

You will need to be rooted to push the apk into system apps...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stauf99:
Do you now where I can find the older version of the app?

No, you aren't the only one having problems with or just disliking the new SNote.. I hope there will be a solution that won't require root someday soon.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] patrickm823:
Has anyone noticed some super slow screen rotations? Also, on the home screen, are you able to auto rotate? My MoPho Q is acting funny after flashing some stock system images and updating(Mine freezes and reboot loops sometimes). If anyone has any issues with their screen having rotate lag please post here, thanks!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] befrosty8612:
I havent experienced any of those issues... I have rooted deodexed and otherwise stock phone. Maybe try to reflash?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] patrickm823:
desperation

Thanks for replying. I have been reflashing stuff all day, nothing seems stable. Had phone up for 10 hours then started reboot looping. I formatted my sd card and did factory reset, tried 3 or 4 different ways of recovering everything so idk what else to do. I am just now re-rooting and trying deodexed, making backups every step of the way(beyond frustrated).
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] befrosty8612:
Wow that's no fun... how bad is the auto rotate lag? It takes mine about .2 seconds, not long but there is a slight delay. And the only way I can rotate the home screen is if I slide the keyboard out. I was looking into making my own ROM but didn't figure it out. I'm hoping for one soon, maybe that would fix for your problem too.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Stankmer:
Just recently I've been having problems with my screen not rotating back after sliding out the keyboard. Sometimes it doesn't rotate at all. I'm just rooted with the latest update also. Don't know why this is happening.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] UnicronAlpha99:
I've had that a couple times, usually it goes away on its own. I tried turning rotation on/off, forcing it back to portrait mode using apps that only run in portrait, cycling lock screen on and off, finally it just started fixing it self after a reboot or time.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Stankmer:
Haha, did exact same things. And you're right. Hasn't happened in awhile.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] cscotti:
Just wanted to confirm that I have problems with this too. Sometimes I get tired of waiting to the point that I open the keyboard to force landscape mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybfmv96:
There is a file on my SD that I have no use of and have no idea what it is. But even through cyanogenmod's root browser I can't delete it. Is this a virus? Did I do something wrong? I can't even change the file permissions of the file so I can delete it as user. It just keeps telling me that I need higher permissions to delete it. And I'm using root permissions!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x714x:
use a terminal and do

su && rm -rf /path/to/that/dir

just make sure you type the correct path, if it doesnt erase it then it will atleast give you a error

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dkim3:
I need to send my note 2 back to samsung for repairs because of the no signal problem. Unfortunately I have flashed this phone about three times. I read other threads saying the phone counts your flash counts.

How do you get the flash count back to zero? Also can someone tell me how to reset my phone back to normal or non root?

I really would like to repair this phone asap. I don't want my $600 to go to waste. I am pretty desperate here.

[Galaxy Ace II General] Gizmotech:
Am I correct to assume that the I8160 does not have the NFC hardware inside the phone and its not just that Samsung has disabled it via firmware like they have under-clocked the processors via firmware?

Just out of curiosity, what do you think will happen if the I8160 was flashed with the I8160P Rom?
[Galaxy Ace II General] Dr01nE:
I guess it would soft brick the phone, or worse render it unusable.
[Galaxy Ace II General] arroyo:
I8160P have special antenna for NFC under battery back. I8160 doesn't have it.
[Galaxy Ace II General] djpailo:
So do any retail shops in the UK sell the NFC enabled device?

FOUND THIS AT DROIDFORUMS, thought i might post it here :). strange. is this legit? They seem to be specialized in the Galaxy Nexus department
[Motorola Droid 4] jkieffer46:
this thing have any bugs and you're throwin it out to the wolves or is it bulletproof so far?
[Motorola Droid 4] xxxtyp:
??????

uhh...yeaaa....bugs? Change log? anything? lol:confused:
[Motorola Droid 4] jgardner:
Actually I think this is a mispost, and is supposed to be for the Nexus 4. From what I found in the google cache looking for more information: http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...ct-2013-v1-0-a.html+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

Looks like the thread has been removed so I'm guessing so.
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
Status 7 error

I have Status 7 error when i flash this rom with safestrap 3.11, what can i do?
[Motorola Droid 4] local444:
It was a mispost, this was not intended for the Droid 4. Flash back to a backup or a different rom after doing a full wipe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pezlomd:
I've seen on the gs3 forums so hacks to use NFC while the screen is off. Anybody know if we can get this going on the note 2?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sandiegopaneraiguy:
I found the thread for the Nexus, but cannot get confirmation that it would work with the GN2... This would be very helpful!

I tried the one that is floating around and it breaks NFC entirely. Had to restore the Nfc.apk that I saved.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] powerhome:
I used the Xposed Framework mod to enable this and it works great. You can read about the Xposed framework mod here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2067292. I got the NFC mod (as well as in call recording) from here: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/forums/xposed_framework_mods/

I can also confirm that the DPI mods that are enabled by this work as well.

Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sandiegopaneraiguy:
I already had Xposed installed. So I downloaded the module, installed it and activated it via Xposed and then rebooted. Nothing...

I have other modules that are working properly, so I know its not the XPosed application.

Any suggestions? Did you have to do anything additional?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] powerhome:
After activating it in Xposed, I then had to open NFC LockScreen in the Apps drawer and select "screen is off". Closed, rebooted and then it worked for me.

*Edit:

I tested on my wife's phone and it doesnt work on hers. Im running cmenards N7105ZHALJ4 rom and my wife is running teshxx stock T889UVALK8 so it does appear to be somewhat rom dependent.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sandiegopaneraiguy:
Im running the same ROM as your wife... Oh well...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sandiegopaneraiguy:
Just for the hell of it I did a back up and wipe and installed the cmenards N7105ZHALJ4 ROM and I followed your instructions and it still did not work.

I am willing to pay a bounty to someone who can get this working. I am running the teshxx stock VALK8 ROM and simply want to be able to use the NFC feature while screen off and locked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joocrazy:
I dropped my S3 on the floor. There was no damage, but GPS stopped working accurately. I tried GPS fixes, but those did not work for me. Eventually I discovered that it was a connector problem between the GPS and the antenna.

My fix was to:

remove the battery cover, battery, sim.

unscrew 10 screws and remove the back cover.

remove the speaker assembly that also holds the gps antenna

the GPS antenna is on the top left of the speaker assembly.

make sure the gps and antenna connectors are not broken and clean, and screw everything back in snug.

Hopes this helps someone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dirtfoot:
Were there any seals to break so that your warranty could be voided? I might look into this. My gps works most of the time but should lock faster than it does sometimes. I shouldn't have to hold it to the Window in my truck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joocrazy:
No there aren't any seals that need to be broken.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xxpotandaxx:
Like was your GPS just very inaccurate?? Because mine is
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] socalwrx:
so call me crazy, but this might have fixed my gps. ive talked about having gps issues in the other threads (gps patch thread), and decided to give this a try. take apart my phone, detach the speaker assembly, and put it all back together (there is that one connector but are you sure its the gps and not the speaker?. ive had issues since release of the phone and am now getting gps lock in my house which was impossible. on the streets google nav isnt throwing me off either.

at first it didnt make much of a difference but after a while it started locking on. Id like to reiterate that ive tried lots of solutions: roms, apps, the gps patch in the development sub forum. Who knows if any of those kicked in, but it sure is coincidental of tearing the phone up lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dirtfoot:
So, "only" 2 months after this was posted and I was the first to reply to this, I finally found my micro screwdrivers and I tightened the screws under the back cover, and my gps is ridiculously better. Just before tightening the screws, it took about 15 seconds to get 1 or 2 satellites to lock. Immediately after, I retested and had about 18 in 5 seconds in the same seat inside. I feel like a moron for taking so long to do this. Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ManiakalSealion:
There seems to be a common issue with these phones and the loosely connected GPS antennae. Many have been using this fix as opposed to sending their device in.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eo93EF7rVIw

Even disassemble instruction videos floating around. Don't be scared, crack that beast open :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] corbn89:
Lol this is awesome. I've been reading about people with gps problems tightening their screws all week and it actually working.

Now I didn't really have gps problems to begin (always instant lock outdoors. Indoors not so much) with but I thought it would be interesting to take a look at em. So I tightened them just a bit and now I get signal in my office on a rainy day. I use to never get a lock at my office. Awesome.

Still don't get a lock in my apartment but still a noticeable improvement.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] generalmilk:
Confirmed working! I should see this earlier! For half a year I traveled across the globe, I spent countless times on my gps issue, I didn't remember it had problem due to a dropping but it just act so bad from the beginning. I tried all kinds of roms, cleaned all kinds of data/caches, tried all kinds of patches. None of them works! I thought this model is just bad at GPS.

Now I simply tighten some screws and it works fantastic than ever! I'd like to quote someone else because it also happens to me: my gps is now so powerful that I can lock gps even inside the room in a raining day!

---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

we should let more people know this, maybe by changing the title. Because for me, I didn't remember about dropping, so I didn't think about to read this thread before.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onei0077:
I love doing both on my nexus 7. Subtitles haven't bothered me at all. I as well have come from a 10 inch and like I like this smaller form much more. The screen is no super amoled but it is very clear.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolipko:
That sounds great... hope i will get to choose my next device, if so it will most def. be a nexus 7.

Btw, performance on stock is good right? There is not that many chances to play with one in store so all i have to go on is youtube reviews.... but my last device had a tegra2 so this should be faster/better.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyrichter:
I have a rooted/rommed wifi-only S1 and my GF has a Blackberry 9780. She is currently overseas for X amount of time and the only way we can talk is by calling each other which is extremely expensive, or using skype which means she has to borrow a friend's laptop or android device. She has service on her phone over there, unsure of what type of plan.

I came up with the idea of using my old BB 8330 and figuring out how to use BBM or something similar on wifi-only, but it turns out that 'ol phone doesn't have wifi on it. It's too bad I sold my last BB some time ago which was an 8530 and had wifi. Oh well.

Anyways, I'm now wondering if there's an app I can use on my S1 that she can also use on her 9780 that would allow us to text and or talk. Something like BBM that doesn't require me to have service or a data plan. I imagine there's at least one app out there that would do this and also be available to BB users.

Thanks.

What about the WhatsApp Messenger by WhatsApp Inc. In the Play Store ? :thumbup:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyrichter:
I read somewhere that it uses your phone number but can't seem to confirm that.

I'm pretty sure we can use KIK but it's text only. I may be getting greedy with wanting text and talk, but having both would be awesome.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Does her phone have a browser? If so, you could use any site like ebuddy to talk. Or even get on something like palringo (dunno if there's a bb version?) but there must be something alike.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyrichter:
She has service and we *think* her data is unlimited. She also has a wireless router at her flat so wifi helps if the data is limited/costly.

We're trying to use apps over our current methods or using something browser based mainly for convenience. Something like whatsapp or KIK would work perfectly from what I understand, but they're text-only. Not a huge problem, but if I can find text+voice that would be great. Skype is normally the answer to that question but her phone, or more specifically her service provider, isn't compatible with skype from what I'm seeing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Then ebuddy would most likely be your answer. It has chat + voice/video and is browser based.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyrichter:
I went with Kik for now. It's actually a pretty cool messenger app. Clean and fast.

I haven't yet found anything that covers both messages and voice in app form other than skype which I confirmed is not compatible with her model of phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Oh I though she had access to browser?

App wise, I'll have to keep looking.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyrichter:
Preferring to stay away from browser since apps are far more convenient and because browsers always run very sluggish on my cappy for some reason.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Should hassle Ebuddy to make a app then ;) lol

But if you wanna try it, there's a bare naked browser (ugly but fasssst) on here. Called naked browser I believe.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tahoor_m:
Try viber
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyrichter:
Looks like the exact app I need and it's compatible with blackberry. Will give it a try. Thanks!

ETA: Looks like Blackberry devices can not use the VoIP feature yet but they say it will be available eventually.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyrichter:
Turns out you need a number for viber and my device is wifi-only. After some research I found that you can use any phone number that can receive SMS because it's for them to send you a registration PIN. I tried both my GV and Heywire numbers and haven't received that text on either one. :\

I've been using the beats drivers on my s3 and I notice a little bit of a difference and I've tried various headphones, beats pros, stock samsung and parrot zik. I'm wondering about your experience with it

real or a placebo?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ragz:
Try acid audio,no worries about placebos, just don't use stock headphones as they don't give the greatest effect,just my opinion.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] klin1344:
I personally think that they are placebos, but maybe that's because I'm not an audiophile..:p

But if you use high end headphones or anything like that go ahead and try those sound mods and judge for yourself if you notice a difference. Sound is different to everyone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] howlingmoon12:
Doesn't sound any difference with or without even my Audio Technica headphones(which i got free from a Sensa years back).Unless you are playing flacs on your phone, the quality of the music has been decreased to the point where neither headphones nor audio driver matters.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jayRokk:
Definitely not a placebo... It's just drivers that have been already equalized per say.. So when you run other equalizers to even further maximize the lows/mids/highs you get a better sound experience... Beats doesn't do anything too drastic but when using high end headphones/audio you can hear the difference :)
[HTC One V] lilrob1213:
So I have a virgin mobile HTC One V. It seems as though my bars have been particularly low for a couple of months now, I just haven't done anything about it. I don't get signal where I used to and my 3G is kinda slow. Also, my tethering doesn't seem to work on any roms anymore and it did before. I'm not sure if I installed something wrong or what, but I was just wondering if I should RUU back to stock just to see if I'm at that level at least?

Also, this may be a problem if I should RUU... I have a macbook pro and not windows. So, is there a way to do the RUU on OSX Lion or no? I don't have a windows partition. Thanks!

I am hoping somebody might have some advice for me, I apologize if this is in the wrong section, I don't post very much.

I bought an Acro S in September from ebay and it has developed a dead area on the screen that does not respond to touch, it just happens to be right where all of the dialogs pop up so it gets tedious to use. I called Sony about it since it should still be under warranty and they said that because the phone was from Hong Kong originally I would have to contact their support there. I called and was told to contact the dealer I purchased it from so I did and they are of no help. Does anybody have any experience with a similar issue that might have some advice?

Picked up a I9305 whilst passing through HK so its Baseband - I9305ZHALI2, Build - I9035ZHBLL3, Unlocked/unbranded etc. It comes standard with Samsung Chinese IME keyboard as default, however I prefer to use Swiftkey 3.
