my phone will not enter recovery mode or download mode. it will not turn on at all.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umair241995:
If you've completely bricked your phone. ..

Take your Battery out of the phone and charge with external charger. ..

After that use a USB Jig(should get on ebay, isn't much expensive) to boot your phone into download mode and Flash the stock Rom using Odin...

If this doesn't work then going to the official Samsung store should be your move..

Press thanx if I helped...

Anyone ever have issue with their battery fluctuating? It pretty much yoyos up and down without me even touching it.

I have calibrated multiple times.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
That can come from many things. I would suggest to get BetterBatteryStats and see what drains your battery. Can also check under settings/battery to see what's draining it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brushrop03:
Well I'm not necessarily talking about battery drain. But fluctuations. it goes up and down. Drastic changes. Say 50% one sec to 70% a few minutes later. Sometimes the phone will go down to 1% and power down, but when I turn it back on charge could be 30%.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Sounds to me like you need a clean flash. Backup your stuff, wipe everything (don't format sd), and start back fresh.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brushrop03:
Yeah that's what I was thinking. Was waiting for phone to charge up some. Will report back in few minutes

edit: well it's done. Not going to install anything. At 61%
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brushrop03:
Looking at my battery graph, it's just a wave lol. Up and down. Haven't checked it that often, but at one point it went up to 71%. After 2.5hrs its still at 61% I had after flashing.

Didn't install anything,

So weird. Not sure if it's a battery or phone thing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Sorry, it's not very clear. Did you do a clean flash? If so, try to do the factory battery mod (a little search will get you to it). It's a manual way of reseting your battery but must be done when fully charged.

Also, when you cleared your battery stats, did you do full battery cycles?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brushrop03:
Yes, I wiped the System.

Yes battery stats were clear and full battery cycle. I've actually been dealing with this for almost a week now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Umm did you drop your phone? Also, check to make sure the connections are clean.

If everything fails, might be the battery itself and you would need to call your carrier.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brushrop03:
Yeah, I actually have another battery, but haven't been home to get it. Going to try.

I'm at 92% now lol. Haven't touched it since my last post.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brushrop03:
This is what my battery has been doing since i've wiped and flashed.

Hi

I've a O1 with CM10 (Rashed build 7) and I try to change the DPI with LCD Density Modder for install a HDPI theme. When I try to reboot, the phone stucks on CM logo and the ADB on my computer doesn't work, so i'm unable to enter to recovery. Is my phone bricked? Is there any other solution that is not use KDZ to flash the phone with the system ROM?

Thanks.

You shouldn't have used kdz.. you could easy recover by flashing a new rom.

Now that you might have bricked it.. try home + vol down then power.. hold these buttons for few seconds.. see if it works.

If not.. hold Vol Up and Power and see if it enters emergency mode.. if it does.. you can use kdz again but carefull.... Have complete knowledge of using kdz.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MWFD:
I know that in CM 10 and 10.1 when a wired headset is plugged in, all of the notifications/ringtone volumes are sent to the headset only (and not played through the phone speaker). Does anyone know how/what needs to be done on other ROMs for them to work the same way? Is it a simple fix? I am currently running Beans 9 and it's sending the notification sounds to the speaker when my headset is plugged in. I've tried SoundAbout app, and that does send them to the headset only, but the sounds play at the 'media' volume level and not levels set for ringtone or notifications, which can be quite startling.

Hi,

i was taking a photo today and the phone hanged. i tried to reboot it but it got stuck at the bootup screen for eternity. tried to reflash it via cwm but it didn went there was some recovery log failure and i could see that the memory was all wiped out.

i tried to put the phone in download mode and odin-ed it but it got stuck at cache.img and didn proceed so i closed the program and unplugged the phone.

and now the phone doesn even turn on but the processor feels hot when i plug it into the charger.

any help guys?? its quite urgent thanks if anyone had a similar experience.

You're only going to find that out when you send it in. If you're lucky, they don't care/don't notice & they fix it under warranty (assuming your warranty is valid). If not, you pay for it.

dead motherboard. Fried phone, bricked.... anything you want. Happened to me a month back, and jst got screwed by $ammy service center for "water damage" because BAT500 had leaked... whereas the leaking BAT500 is a known problem related to the weird way samsung charges its phone (bat500 seems to be actually charging, causing the battery to leak).

I guess you propbably have a similar problem. Would be interested to know how to fix it with a spare MB... would probably require a full dump of the nand??

Use jig tag to enter downloads mode then flash your phone using odin

Search the web for guide make cheap usb jig tag
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoinCoin88:
I think you're mistaking two things.

USB Jig is plugged in the micro-USB port of the phone, and forces it to enter download mode, however it won't work if the phone doesn't boot at all.

On the other hand, JTAG must be plugged directly on the motherboard, and I'm not sure you can build a jtag cable for cheap (but as I say *not sure*)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aeonstorm:
the usb jig would work even if the phone doesn boot up?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoinCoin88:
no it wouldn definitely not. Read what I just posted.

USB jig: phone must boot, so at least you should have an "infinite boot logo".

JTAG: direct chip programming.

hello. i hope this is under the right place! if not, i do apologize. i have two at&t samsung galaxy s3 phones, both running jelly bean. one is mine and the other is under my account (relative). i have purchased an app for my phone call phonelocator pro. seems to be a good app for the desperate times when you lose your phone! i installed it on my phone with no issues, and it works flawlessly! however, i signed in under my email address on the second phone (my relatives phone under my account) and downloaded the app and installed it with no issues. after installing the app on my relatives phone, i ran the app so i could fill in all the proper info. i figured at the time that i could use my relatives info (email address) and that would be that. a couple of days later i received an email from the company saying that i could not have multiple email addresses for the app and that the official email address (the email address used to purchase the app) would have to be used. i said, ok, no problem! i went to go back in to put my email address and correct the issue but it wouldn't let me. it keeps saying "error, this phone is registered with another email account". i tried every option in the setup wizard, but nothing works. i contacted support (about 7 times) for the app and in the end they told me that i would basically have to format and recover my phone to factory settings. i find that hard to believe. has anyone ever heard of this? does anyone else have this app and know an alternative way to correct this issuse? i unstalled the app and reinstalled and it did the same thing. i can't see putting factory settings if the email address is already registered to this phone. anyways, any help would be appreciated! thanks USCS30

Which software do you guys use for syncing contact images to facebook? I haven't tried any yet, but I've heard the stock FB app has some problems. Last time I used it (on my ancient Optimus One), it used to sync very low res pics, and it was impossible to reassign images in case of wrong matches.

PS: Also, as a side question, which facebook app do you use?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bawlinmo:
I use HaxSync. Don't know if there is a better solution, but it worked well for both my N4 and N7.

I've been using Haxsync, but it doesn't update properly. Have you guys noticed this at all?

Okay, I tried HaxSync and Sync.Me

I just can't figure out HaxSync, it doesn't seem to work. It keeps crashing. Seems like a waste of my money.

And Sync.Me seemed just what I wanted, BUT it doesn't put contact pics of some of my contacts for some reason. I can't figure out why. If I remove the link and re link the contact to the same Facebook contact, then I get the pic. Weird bug.

Is there any 3rd decent app for this purpose?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] _ice_:
You need to install the haxsync jb fix app once, then open main app bro. Then read the FAQ. I tried other apps like sync.me those are whack they don't update most of my friend's pics and has no manual update option. Haxsync worked perfectly after syncmypix stopped working. The only good alternative is haxsync.

I was listening to a podcast in Doubletwist and when it finished, I went to delete it.

Once I did this, my phone lost access to the external card (which is where the podcasts download to).

I tried to pull up the card in root explorer and then I rebooted and tried it in recovery. It was not recognized.

I pulled the card and tried it in a friend's phone, and it gave the message that the card filesystem was corrupt or missing, do you want to format?

I don't want to format because I have all my pictures backed up to the card. As I don't have a converter handy to plug into the card reader on my work laptop, I have to wait until tonight to try it at home. Unfortunately, my fear is that the data on the card will be lost regardless.

Does anyone have any suggestions on ways to try to get to the files on the card, or am I just screwed and need to format?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] icenight89:
if u just want your pictures and don't really care about anything else on the card, use an application for windows called testdisk on it. Its free and when u download it an app called photo rec is included, that'll recover your pics

if you want EVERYTHING on the card do ALOT of research into tools that can scan and possibly restore partition tables as from you description that seems that's what's corrupt. Be careful with these ones though as some inexperience can cause more harm than good.

if u don't mind paying there is a specific application suited for your task called cardrecovery.

my advice? option 1 if u want easy free, 3 if u want reasonably easy and don't mind paying, and 2 if u don't mind spending some time learning, difficult and possibly free. all ranked in that order
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] HeavyA:

use chkdsk /r after connecting your device to your computer. if it is detected, this should get you back all your data. this happened to me a couple of times and i was able to recover the data using this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] icenight89:
for a phone DO NOT do this. It can result in recovered files yes, but it is also an intrusive method that can corrupt your data further, highly unrecommended. the non invasive techniques I recommended are better to try first
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] HeavyA:
Would that method work if I intend to reformat the card once the data is recovered?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] icenight89:
no because it could ruin the data before u even get a chance to see it, I know, its happened to me. chkdsk is not the best file recovery method and it wasn't intended to be. its meant to repair a damaged file system table
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] HeavyA:
I looked up cardrecovery, and one of the reviews pointed to a free app called "zero assumption recovery" that supposedly worked as well. Gave it a go, but it was unable to recover anything.

Right now I'm running testdisk and keeping my fingers crossed.

Testdisk also came up empty.

I ran chkdsk /x/f j:

It wasn't able to do anything because the file system is RAW.

Windows also was unable to format the card.

Downloading SD Formatter to see if that will work.

And negative. This gets better and better.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] HeavyA:
As a final note, I plugged my card into a friend's phone and was able to format it. Not sure why my phone wouldn't allow me to, but it works now. Unfortunately, I lost all the files that were on it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] icenight89:
photorec didn't work? wow sorry to hear that bud. I checked out zero assumption recovery, but it seemed like more of a general recovery tool, card recovery was specifically designed for SD cards and removable memory storage. oh well, sorry I couldn't help more
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] HeavyA:
You get an A for effort, but my card was not meant to be recovered. It sucks to lose the files, but not the end of the world.

Thanks for the suggestions, they are good ideas for hopefully resolving future disk issues, and at a minimum, I have more tools available if something like this happens again.
[General Topics] iLiberate:
So, I often read articles that "predict" OS market share changes in mobile and I always follow the source links as far back as I possibly can and I NEVER find data or methodology and I'm always curious how in the world they get these numbers. Today I thought it would be interesting to pull up some 2010 data and IDC suggested that by 2014 Android would have 24.6% market share (link at the bottom). Which I found hilarious. So I thought that I'd try to regress an equation using their variables and change the weights on their variables to more accurately depict the market today then run that regression to predict 2015's market shares. But as previously stated, I can't seem to find any of IDC's data or their methodology so I want to do something a little different. I want you guys to tell me one unique aspect (something not previously stated in another post on this thread), that you think would cause change (positive or negative) in a mobile operating system's market share.

I'll start by saying that I think that one variable would be open-source in nature, and that this particular variable would have a positive impact on market share.
