I've tried plan b on a note 2, S3 ,s2x and galaxy tab7. All installed remotely but none sent an email to me.(even with texting "locate") Thank you for the suggestion but not much faith in that one at this point. ( although we did send that app to his phone)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
Never really thought of that... With all the security features that could be enabled on the OS it seems pretty easy to just access recovery mode and format. I figured it would've been figured out by now and a solution would've been available. :( would be nice to have an option to set a Security pin on the recovery and download mode. And that the only way to disable the security pin incase one forgets would be to add a secondary option to unlock.

One could still force the phone into download mode with a jig. No way to be 100 percent safe I'm afraid.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joe Blough:
Not looking for 100% security. But something better than what is. When you lose the phone it is too easy to shut it off/ factory reset ect.

So I guess what I'm asking is more to the Devs...how hard would it be to password protect the off/recovey option switch in a custom rom? I'm sure the twrp/cwm guys could build a secure version.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
Forgive me as I'm still new but is the CWM stored on the same chip as the ROM like on a PC?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AsusT:
Hi, I'm new here and I just decided to root and flash roms to my TF101 (disappointed that Asus decided to not release further updates for TF101 :( )

I've successfully flashed this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2063406&page=53 yesterday, and I have a question about how to flash their updates.

I currently have the 88EOS version, and I saw that they updated to 89EOS. I was wondering if I have to completely wipe my system again to install the 89 update, or can I just install zip from SD card without wiping the system as it is just an update of the current build.

Thanks for the help guys! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] udupa82:
As far I remember on EOS ROMs, all you need to do is, go to recovery wipe dalvik cache and cache and then install the updated ROM.. if the ROM jumping from 4.1.2 to 4.2.1 then do a complete clean install..

A lot of you may not know but the xperia play has a factory built screen protector on it...it is very hard to remove(you will need a sharp razor blade) but if you remove it..it will not damage the screen. And since the factory screen protector from sony dims the screen..removing it will give you a more brighter vivid screen

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJBhardwaj:
Hello people, In a last few days I went through an uncertain and wierd issue with my battery.

Now, allow me to explain the situation.

It happened around this new year, suppose if I charge my battery to 100% and then use my device even for 10 mins (note: all this has been performed without installing any app, with fresh ROM installations by full wipe and using the stock kernel in every case) when my battery discharged to 91%, the point is even if I leave my phone on standby, the battery would last at a maximum of 2-3 Hours.

Now, If during this procedure I power off and re insert the battery, the battery level would suddenly drop to any random percentage, sometimes even 1 or 2%, directly from 80%.

Quiet wierd isn't it? Anyone who has gone through the same situation could please help? Or any ideas that you people have?

This is really Important cause my phone is nothing with a charger at the moment, I can't carry it anywhere.

On a side note, I have tried every other JB, ICS and GB ROMs for testing this issue, even the stock ones but unfortunately the same results :(

Any help is much much appreciated. Thank you :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _hito_:
I think issue is with the battery, you should buy a new one and do the procedure of insert and reinsert, it's happened with me too but i was on HTC Wildfire S.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] pastorbennett:
I'm hoping someone who has the know-how will jump on this, since my knowledge and skill level when it comes to this kind of thing is admittedly limited at best. However, a thought did cross my mind, so I decided to give it a shot.

I'm one of the many that lost root with the JB OTA. It just goes to prove the saying, "Look before you leap." Anyhow, here's the idea, I just don't know how to make it work, or even if it will work.

When trying to flash back to ICS through fastboot, everything will flash except boot.img, and the system will boot with adb fully accessible, but the display will remain blank. I did attempt some of the confirmed root methods that are confirmed to work on the Razr running ICS, but I ran into some permission problems that I was unable to resolve. With stock ICS in place, except for the ICS bootloader, what is the chance of getting root through adb, then backing up the necessary files and restoring them after reflashing JB?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BADDINOROX99:
sounds like a good idea maybe someone will try this soon
[Motorola Droid RAZR] madrrio:
i been trying to find a way to have the razr M jb root work on the phone... nothing so far, problem comes when it asked for us to put it into bug report mode.

i try doing it manual, selecting sodoku as a debugger app and even waiting for debugger app and restarting trying again.. no luck so far. ill let you know if anything comes up.

-Mario

edit: no luck, tried everything, with out it going into that bug report mode theres not much i can do
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Vatazhka:
Firstly, boot.img contains the kernel and supplementary files. Secondly, ICS exploits use a bug which is caused by the supplementary files mentioned above.

[Galaxy S III General] TheCraig:
The Verizon variants have a CDMA antenna and not a GSM antenna, so its not possible.

EDIT: The country you're visiting must have CDMA-variant verizon partners to roam, I highly doubt they will as CDMA is not widely supported unless your in the USA or China.
[Galaxy S III General] eeosman:
Good news!

The good news is that owners of the Samsung Galaxy S3 through Verizon now have global roaming capabilities. The bad news is that Verizon apparently believes the "sometime after launch" promise it made equals a half-year wait.

Last June, when the Galaxy S3 was about to launch, I wrote about how Verizon promised it would allow for global roaming and using any SIM card, not just one locked to a Verizon calling plan.

[General Questions and Answers] bobmook:
I got a Craig cmp745E......it seemed like a decent little tablet, I installed Crackle and and started a movie.....the screen is now hundreds (maybe thousands) of dancing colors and the tablet is unresponsive. So far I've tried the back button, holding power button down, the reset hole in the back and plugged it via usb to my windows 7 laptop (it didn't notice anything was plugged in).

Unless I can gain some insight here the only thing left I can think of is to let the battery die then hope I can plug the thing in it it will work.

So i have two questions......is there anything else i could possibly do to restart the thing?

Is it possible that installing and app like crackle and attempting to watch a movie bricked the thing?

While i have years of experience in PC support, I never ever ran into a case where installing an app an trying to use it totally destroyed a device.

The thing rebooted fine after the battery die,,,,,,,,,,whew!
[General Questions and Answers] ledbthand:
The reset button on the back just makes it power cycle. Next time just push it with a paper clip.

If you happen to make a back up of it before you change roms or something could you send a copy of it to me? The rom from the Craig official website screwed mine up big time.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HulianMango:
Hi, i tried updating my tab to the leaked 4.1 OTA and after following the instructions my tab wont boot. It will only play the boot animation then hang at the samsung logo for about ten minutes then go black. I cant get it into download or recovery mode, but when i plug it into the wall it shows the battery icon. Also odin recognises the tab while its hanging at the samsung logo.. i have heard talk of a usb jig but not for this tablet.. Can anyone offer any advice? thanks in advance
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sloosecannon:
If Odin sees it a USB jig isn't needed.. Just flash the stock f/w tar and you're good

EDIT: fail... No download mode... Umm... Sounds like you're in a bootloop... No idea why recovery and download wouldnt work tho...
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
The good news is that the device probably isn't bricked. If it was unfixably bricked you shouldn't even see the boot animation.

It's figuring out how to fix it that's the hard part.

What you've clearly done as far as the ROM though is installed the rom improperly somehow. Might have missed as step in the process, or the ROM could have just been a bad download and no fault of your own. These things happen to the best of us.

Assuming that clockworkmod recovery is still installed, and you just can't get into it, you might try to see if you can access it using adb from your computer.

If you have abd installed boot the device as far as it'll go then see if you can connect to it with adb and run this command...

abd reboot recovery

Also try

adb reboot boot loader

If you don't have adb installed read this...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1853159

If that doesn't work (and I only give it a 50-50 shot at best as adb isn't always useful during the boot process, which is where you are stuck....then we'll think of something else.

Also please describe the steps you are using to try and get into recovery just to make sure you're trying it the right way.

And after it gets stuck at the Samsung screen are you turning it off completely by holding the power, volume up, and volume down all at once? That should shut the device off completely, which is where you need to be before trying to boot into recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HulianMango:

I've been using the stock rooted jellybean as my daily driver (FL16, great battery life) and I can't get any of the popular WiFi tether apps to work. The sprint hotspot app doesn't work either, obviously.

With 'Wifi Tether for Root Users', I'm unable to connect to the network even though I can see it. (tested on multiple PCs)

With FoxFi, I can connect to the network but it shuts off my 4g (some sort of sprint protection).

With sprint hotspot, it shuts off my 4g as well.

Does anyone know of a fix or a certain version of one of these apps that will work for me? I did a bit of perusing and couldn't find any good information on it.

NDS.emu is just another pointless clone using same source as NDS4Droid. They couldn't even come up with an original name.. says it all really.

DSdroid is slightly improved in some areas (2D emulation) but alas, still another to reuse code and optimisations from NDS4Droid. The obvious question is why someone would use this and not just opt to support the core app/developer (nds4droid)?

Well, in wich application are you asking for the effect? Or are you talking about all the list in the system? Howerver i'm sorry but actually i don't know if it's implemented in any rom, but i'm almost sure that in the older version of the cyanogenmod rom (surely in the 7th release, in the latest i don't know but maybe you could ask to them) there's an overscroll effect's chooser that can let you choose between the overscrolling (rubbing band) or the lightening (android behaviour).

I have no idea what more to do to reset them or fix them, they were all working fine before and then they just stopped.
