I have a samsung galaxy s2 x, i rooted my phone little bit ago and i got the jelly bean rom but it got stuck on the jelly bean start up so then i recovered my phone to right before the root and now when i shut off my phone it the buttons on the bottom stays lit up and will not shut off can someone help me??
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Skidoo03:
Hey everyone, I'm picking up a Bionic tomorrow and would just like you guys to double check if I have everything in the right order.

In order to root I need to use this right: http://droidbionicroot.com/droid-bionic-root/how-to-root-ics-on-droid-bionic-and-motorola-android/

Then install safestrap: http://droidbionicroot.com/droid-bi...festrap-3-0-on-droid-bionicdroid-razrdroid-4/

I am interested in both Icarus HD roms and the Wizzed Bean rom, just curious out of the three which do you guys get the best battery life on? (From personal experience, not asking which is the best.)

Also what is the difference in the Icarus roms?

Thanks in advance everyone!!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Obsidian_soul:
Safestrap is now on version 3.11 if you look in the development section you will find the link. I would use that instead of the link you're using. I use the Icarus HD, which gets pretty good battery life and because it is a blur based rom is fully functional. Most of Jb roms have bluetooth and camera issues. Wizard bean is a samsung galaxy based JB rom. If I didn't need full functionality it would be my DD.

The difference between the stripped and the regular is some theme differences and the stripped has had even more of the blur removed and replaced with AOSP apps . This makes it lighter and takes up less memory. I prefer the regular version. You might find the 4g and battery icons a bit weird though.

I do not believe anything I just read was correct..lol not to you, but to the rep.. Starting on January 9 their $70 unlimited plan was upped from 5gb to truly unlimited uncapped data.. Also I am not positive on the roaming as I do not leave.. And as far as them having their own towers go that is a lie because when a phone gets blacklisted because you haven't paid you bill you can't just put it on prepaid.. You have to unlock the phone and go on another carrier.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gthing:
I am on the $30/mo plan available from walmart. It includes unlimited text and data (4g up to 5gb) and 100 minutes. I believe it is by far the best deal going for cell service. At $.10 a minute if you go over it's still the best deal going if you use under ~600 minutes a month on average.

The $70 plan you are talking about is actually unlimited 4G AFAIK.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pennycake:
Why not just buy a month or so of pre-paid, try it out - see how it goes - and if you think the contract service would work better for you, switch - there's no penalty for switching from pre-paid to contract, so why not ?

You're throttled to 50kb/s after your limit. Yes, it's slow, but pages not loading before they time out ? Maybe if you're loading super-heavy pages, but the guest WIFI at my school is throttled to the same and it's quite easy to browse the web. No, you're not going to be streaming video or anything on 50kb/s, but it's not the end of the world, either.

It looks like the $70/mo pre-paid doesn't have a data limit. If they're being sneaky and hiding it, I don't know - read the contract, but the ones where throttling does happen are worded differently.

I'm on pre-paid T-Mobile and never had coverage issues. Pretty sure there is some roaming. No, you're not going to get data-roaming, but that's kind of a given for any pre-paid service.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Noobiologist:
Don't forget. $70 plus taxes (~$10~) plus activation fee ($35 and only if done in-store). Your first month bill will skyrocket (I chose the value plan with two lines + down payment ($170/mo) when I extended my service with T-Mobile; the bill for the first month came to a close total of $300). Afterwards you'll pay a flat rate of ~$80~(taxes).

What the rep said were both true and false. The Value Plan (unlimited text + call + data with no throttle) is the better plan of the two options provided to you if you're looking for long-term but the only difference between the two is there will be a data throttle (5GB) for the Prepaid and unlimited data with no data for The Value Plan but only acquirable with a 2 year contract.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AntikytheraTech:
Thanks for everyone's input. I took the plunge and went with T-Mobile prepaid $70/month. I did a lot of reading and went back to a different store. Turns out that as of 1/9/13 the $70/month prepaid is unlimited data and no throttle. Your sim gets service from the exact same towers as a contracted T Mobile customer. There also was not an activation fee. I had an approx. $6 sim start fee and then taxes. After everything it was $81.56 out the door. I do also get roaming on AT&T but I have yet to use it. I plan on using it for the rest of the month that I paid for before making any final decisions. This is about $25/month cheaper than what I am paying for sprint service right now AND I have HSPA+ data. The speeds are nothing to brag about at all but SOOO much faster than sprints data. Glad I researched this further before looking elsewhere. :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pennycake:
Pre-paid is only charged state sales tax - which is usually much less than the taxes imposed on the contract plans. They still pay the taxes - you're just not paying for them on top of your bill.

My taxes on my $40 Sprint bill were like, $6. I pay only $1-something in state sales tax on the $30 refills. Not a huge difference but would add up quite a bit if the bills were higher.

$70/unlimited is a great deal if you have good coverage in your area (we have 4G all over the city here).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] freshjr:
There are Classic, Value, and Prepaid options.

Classic - You get a subsidised phone +

a 2yr contract.

Value - You take the same phone subsidy that classic has but you apply it to your montly bill. As such you have the option to buy a phone at full price or bring your own. You still have the

2 yr contract.

Prepaid - No Contract.

Classic and Value are exactly the same.

The prepaid plan does have an unlimited data package, but the difference between the other packages is that prepaid customers DO NOT get ROAMING.

Over here in chicago, tmobile is partnered with ATT. If i go to an area that does not have tmobile service, I am allowed to use ATT towers. With prepaid you will simply have no service in this area.

(Note that roaming includes VOICE+TEXT but not high speed DATA. This means you will only get 1G or EDGE while roaming)

I am not sure about getting access to less tmobile towers, but less towers sounds like bull****. Keep in mind you still DO NOT get access to ROAMING towers. The rep might of misunderstood the tower explanation when she was in training but who knows, it might be true. I doubt it.

I do not work for Tmboile. Hope I explained everything.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] inspectergadget:
I have a galaxy s4 sgh-m919 t-mobile variant I bought without a contract.

I purchased tmobile prepaid unlimted 70 a month plan.

While I am in the city I get 4g data, ive never seen the LTE badge appear.

My tmobile account says I have an incompatiable data plan for my device.

My actual home is about 13 miles outside town and I get extremely bad signal issues. My phone will connect to at&t and verizon towers but I do not get a data connection at all, sms is hit or miss, phone calls seem to work okay most of the time.

I am very upset with my tmobile service and plan to try net10 prepaid unlimited 4g, for 50 a month. Net10 uses at&t towers so I should get much better service at my home.

I wish there was a way to force data roaming.

I'm paying 70 a month, I should at least get 3g wherever I go.

I am open to suggestion, thanks; just wanted to share my tmobile opinion.

Slower test is tmobile prepaid 4g

faster is net10 at&t 4g
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hillg001:
Late to the zombie thread. Our experience as a Tmobile customer, is you'll roam most likely onto ATT. Our 2nd home is in Montana, where Tmo doesn't exist. First, your data is throttled on roam from the get go, to what's tantamount to HSPA. After you use a few hundred megs (turning on your plan) bam, throttle down to G2. It's not a pretty picture ... but for some, it beats paying ATT's higher monthly fee.

Hi, I've read numerous posts relating to brick bug for SGS3 and other phones. Do we know if our beloved SGN2 phones are affected? I checked my phone with eMMC check and it does appear as if its using the same affected memory controller and it looks like it does, so are we next in line for this issue hats affecting the SGSIII and other phones?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whit3h4wks:
Few minutes before I saw this post, I installed a application called "eMMC check" form play store and for the result i got "No san chip". Can anyone who is aware of this problem tell me what does that really mean. Does that mean having No san chip causes the brick, or having the san chip causes the brick or this application is to fool guys like us who is too much worry about this problem.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ansariiqbal:
This app is for an older phone with brick bug. This is of no use for galaxy s3 or note 2. You will get the correct info about your hardware but brick status is of no use to you.

---------- Post added at 08:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 PM ----------

By the way "no. sane chip" means the phone does not have brick bug hardware. It is good. But as I said it is of no use.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kar200:
I get the same message on my ohone (thats its sane) but after reading online I do have the ill chip.

My phone is ith custom FW and I dont want it to die suddenly. Its got 2 years warranty and it will be sad to loose it because of a stupid bug and not get it repaired.

I might go back to stock abd reset the counter to 0 and wait and see how thos develope later.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whit3h4wks:
So that means i am safe right. I get No San chip

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kebabs:
yeh its kind of worrying if the S3 has the issue, since Note2 shares so much of its little brother, perhaps Samsung should get on top of this before it starts to impact peoples phones. Since the Note2 isnt that old, its possible will start to see this issue in the not to distant future. Is SAMSUNG not good in the flash memory market anymore?
[Nexus 7 General] cycosis101:
So there I was, stupidly updating my Gapps... forgetting to make a backup. What happened? I kept getting crashes, so I try to reinstall SmoothRom. It fixes it, but in the process of it all, my Recovery Menu was changed to what I didn't want. I couldn't get it to go back to TWRP. After about 30 minutes of finkering with it, I try to load back into android... I can't, so I go to go back into my recovery, doesn't work. I could go into fastboot but kept getting [Failure (Nv3pBadRecieveLength)] Error. I came upon a thread after a little search and I see something about the usb cable... So it got me thinking about USB 3.... Low and behold though, switch my USB cable back into a USB 2 and everything works.

TLDR; DO NOT HOOK YOUR NEXUS 7 INTO A USB 3 DRIVE!

I am using windows 8 and i connect my nexus to usb 3 all the times no problems.

If ur using windows 7 (or older) u must update ur usb 3 drivers unless u want some thing not properly detected or u dont want to use that device :D

Let us know little more about your current situation e.g can u boot into some thing android (any rom)

what is your exact problem (cant flash gapps or cant flash rom or cant flash recover or dont know how to use fastboot)

Same here. I have problems with WiFi tethering using the stock option. I didn't try apps cause, last time I tried them (other android), they killed the battery.

Not a fan of Bluetooth, I expect it to have a bandwidth limitation, which would answer your question.

But we both share the need for wifi-based help

So I'd love some help too

All,

I am a 3rd party and was given a phone to try and fix. I've tried OMAPflash & SDK without any luck. I was told the person did an OTA and something about a bootloader and could have potentially dropped the phone. I was told they stated the phone wouldn't charge and then died and didn't turn back on; we've tried another battery with no luck. The phone does not power on or respond to any button combinations, but when plugged into a computer; it fails to recognize the device...even with drivers installed; so the computer can see it, it just won't load the drivers. I don't want to spend tons of money fixing a phone that isn't mine but does anyone know if a USB Jig works on a phone that's hard bricked to the point where it has no power? No fastboot or adb, neither read the phone. tried multiple computers.

My last resort is this USB Jig. Also, no warranty from sammy. I feel like i've tried everything.

Thank You in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
I used a jig to recover a friend's S3 after he flashed an international S3 ROM and it wouldn't boot or do anything so I suppose it could work.

ATTENTION ATTENTION ATTENTION

Save yourself loads of time and trouble.

Fix the Chameleon errors and HFA problems for them !!!

​

As man of you know, if you are on an LJ1/LJC based rom that you can flash to an LK8 rom with out any problems BUT if try and flash back to an LJ1/LJC rom, you and your users will encounter the infamous "chameleon.apk has failed and was closed" and the "hands free activation on every boot" problem. Well, you all also know that garwynn and evil concepts have come up with a solution to this that flashes the LJ1/LJC carrier partition back to factory/official update specs. The problem seems to be that users still try and flash back to LJ1/LJC roms without flashing the correct carrier partition back and then go into your threads and tell you how they are getting the above mentioned errors and the "rom is terrible and doesnt work" and whatnot. Then you have to go through the trouble of explaining how to fix for the one millionth time.

Well, fix it for them so you wont have to do this everyday. It's simple, here's how:

ADD THE FIX TO YOUR ROM AND EDIT YOUR UPDATER SCRIPT TO FLASH THE CORRECT CARRIER PARTITON

Download the file attach below

Unzip it and place the files into the root directory of your rom

Add the section of code below to your updater-script after the boot.img flash

package_extract_file("flash_image", "/tmp/flash_image");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/flash_image");
package_extract_file("carrierljc.img", "/tmp/carrierljc.img");
run_program("/tmp/flash_image", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p16", "/tmp/carrierljc.img");
delete("/tmp/carrierljc.img");
delete("/tmp/flash_image");

BAM, No more Chameleon or HFA errors for you to have to deal with. EVER! (Well, maybe not ever but you get the point.)

Please be aware that the file attached

IS NOT

a flashable zip. It is only the 2 files you need to add to your rom.
