[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Motorolalover:
Well i as you posted it in razr hd forum.. most of the people obviously will recommend you Razr HD but here are few reasons to it.

1. Better Battery Life (Huge Huge Plus)

2. Superior Build Quality (Personally I haven`t seen One X+ but Motorola really did well on this phone)

3. Clean ROM. (Very similar to stock Android)

4. Camera : I think its not a big let down like many people are claiming on other forums. I have clicked many photographs and made few videos and seriously i really liked the quality. It can shoot HDR photos and videos. If you are so concerned about camera go check the phone at the store and try clicking photographs.

5. Best Radio Reception: I have used samsung, sony ericsson, htc, apple in last few years, but the call quality on motorola is really good. I don`t know what other people think, but i felt the difference.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linedpaper:
I recognize that there will be a bias in this forum, but I wanted to hear from owners of the phone which is why I went here instead of a general forum. I posted something similar in the One X+ forum as well. All the pros are the reasons I want the phone, the dual/quad core doesn't concern me too much, particularly as I've read the One X+ quad core really performs like a dual core. The camera has been my one hold up. I'll have to go play with one in a store and take some pictures, I figure it has to be better than the 5mp on my iPhone 4 and that's what all my pics are with now. The One X+ does feel pretty solid in terms of build quality, but the battery and heat concern me. It's got an unlockable bootloader too so that's one plus it has, however as long as I can root the Maxx HD, I'll be ok.

Thanks,

Tim
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trickyhenry:
Tough choice, if you need the battery life go with razr. If you want a better camera go HTC. One x camera is not that great so I doubt you'd be that bothered. Most top end phones have comparable cameras ... Reading some reviews you'd think they were miles apart. Real world use I doubt you'd really tell the difference. I'd recommend you try them both.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Papi4baby:
I have had it happen a few times.

One i remember that i put the phone to charge overnight and i plug it in and went to take a shower. I didn't pressed the power button just left it to time out. The next morning i hit home and swipe to put my pin and unlock but it just took me to the home screen without having to input a pin.

I have had it happen a few other times that i put it out of my pocket and i try to get on the phone and it just go to the home screen it didn't ask me for my pin.

I hope you guys understand what i mean, and maybe someone has experience the same thing.

Thank you.

Custom rom?

Had the same issue when device first came out. But my device would wake/lockscreen with power and govhome with home button
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Papi4baby:
Phone is completely stock, both software and hardware.

ATT sugested a master reset. I have yet to do it.

The issue has not come back for at least a week now. Now that i think about it, i think after the 4.1.2 update i have not notice it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Brad.S.:
Do you happen to have an app installed that will let you view what state the cpu is in? Like cpu spy. (ex: deep sleep)

Maybe the phone isn't going to sleep.. Something could be keeping it awake, making the android system think that the phone is still in use.

Do you have the option checked for screen lock delay? -- the one that keeps the phone from locking within a certain amount of time after the screen has turned off.

I see you said it hasn't happened for a while.. but if it does happen again, maybe you can try to see if you have a wake clock by viewing the cpu state.

Just a thought

Hello from Mother Russia =)

One user has sold me used Xperia S with an internal memory issue. (He told me the device is okay, arrrgh)

Device is rooted, bootloader is unlocked, firmware is stock, recovery is CWM.

It boots up and working, but memory is read only so I cannot install any software or take a picture or just receive sms...

In CWM I canot mount cache and data, cannot format sdcard, cannot wipe data.

I can only use ADB - pushing and pulling files (so the chip is not fried) and using other utils but all the changes is lost after reboot (or remounting).

I've found the reason - partitions of emmc is not consistent - fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0 p says

No, I did not. The previous owner wrote that he tried and everything looks OK? but after reboot there was no effect.

I will try with last flashtools and kernel you posted.

Hmm, do you mean permissions or what?)

I cannot install it - adb install says

I can push it to root dir or to system but there is no root explorer installed

If you did mean the standard option in android settings, it runs OK but has no effect.

Well just few days ago I soft bricked my phone. It would show the Sony Logo and after that a memory card-warning type of sign. I tried Flashtool and went to flash a ROM but it got aborted right after starting flashing. My bootloader was unlocked and I panicked I screwed up for good. I tried to relock my bootloader with Flashtool and succeded. I tried again flashing with Flashtool and no-go, again aborted. Then I tried repairing with PC Companion and my phone was saved.

Flashtool is great, I use it all the time, but if you mess something up, your best bet is the PC companion.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
I have a lot going on so I had to read back through this thread to remember what's going on here.

Anyway,

In Linux, if you are using a USB 2.0 port (not USB 3.0), on a fresh install, if the command 'lsusb' doesn't show the Kindle Fire as being connected and you know for sure it's in fastboot (Kindle Fire logo stays bright, doesn't dim), chances are the bootloader isn't working properly and you need to use Firekit with the shorting trick to install a new bootloader. There are many variables that could come into play when trying to USBboot (shorting trick) and most of them are due to human error. It's just one of those things you have to work at to get it right. Timing has a lot to do with it as well as technique, order of operation and your ability to pay attention to (and interpret) the instructions. As I said before, the best thing you can do is keep trying, and don't give up.

Search the forums for anything containing "Firekit". There may be information you have overlooked or tips you could use to make things easier.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trinitylau:
yes, first of all thanks! I read the forum, post about firekit&co, then I found soupkit and I think that is the best tool for me. Now I'm trying with a new linux live usb, added notes to the ones already taken...maybe this time will be better :cool:
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awidawad:
In windows 7, navigate to your KFU utilities, open the folder tools, and hold shift and right click. There should be an option in the menu "open command window here" click that. Type the command "fastboot devices" without quotes. What does it display?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
With the stock bootloader installed, "fastboot devices" will never show that a device is connected.

Linux is a very powerful and efficient operating system that is far more capable than Windows. Even with no drivers installed, and udev rules not set, Linux will still detect a device plugged into USB. The 'lsusb' command is used to list all devices connected to USB.

The problem is, 'lsusb' doesn't show the connected device.

I've seen this situation many times. And while I don't know enough about the bootloader to know why this happens, I do know the bootloader is the cause of it. Replacing the bootloader (in this case, via USBboot) always fixes the problem.

"That's a special kind of stupid. The kind that makes me laugh."
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awidawad:
Ah okay. And once my whole partition table had been corrupted even bootloader. Didn't even have to run the USB shorting trick I did the last restore option in Firekit and it worked like a charm it fully restored my device
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Right. There are options in Firekit that don't require USBboot, but they depend on being able to detect the device. And in some cases, corruption may cause the device to automatically go into USBboot mode and the shorting trick isn't needed. But the device has to be in USBboot mode for the USBboot commands (usb_install_fff_twrp...etc.) to work...which is what is needed when the computer cannot detect the device.

"That's a special kind of stupid. The kind that makes me laugh."
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awidawad:
Yes when I used Firekit it was already so corrupted it was in USBboot mode without me doing the shorting trick. Windows recognized it as OMAP4430 device and Ubuntu saw it and with Firekit it was fixed.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
OH...That.

Yeah, you need a factory cable. It's not in fastboot. It's actually moved past the bootloader and is trying to boot to the system, but apparently there is no system to boot to. You need to get into fastboot so you can access recovery and fix that...thus the need for the factory cable.
