You still need expression design(rocks at creating XAML images) and maybe encoder as well, if he wants rich media stuff. And it is much better to get expression than other solutions which are like 8 times more expensive.

Blend is nice sometimes, but not really needed. You can use it to edit styles for various UI elements, but other than that, I found no real usage for it.

Professional Visual Studio is more than enough for what you need to do. In fact, most features from the Ultimate edition do not even work with phones.

Hey guys, I'm new to XDA and have been struggling to fix this problem of mine. I was recently flashing a custom rom and my phone entered a boot loop. I went to the recovery mode and tried installing it again, rebooting, and factory reset, all of which did not work. Also I do not have a nandroid on the phone. I'm hoping to put a different rom onto the sd and installing it in an attempt to get out of this boot loop. Any help would be much appreciated.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rikmer:
Use adb or fastboot to flash the rom directly of your PC.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nuu~:
Just use ADB if you're in the recovery.

Put the ROM.zip in the same folder as your cmd window is in and type

adb push ROM.zip /storage/emulated/0/

You cant mount the phone as storage while in recovery, what you have to do is use adb sideload in the advance menu. more info here: http://teamw.in/ADBSideload what it does is move the zip to the phone and install, because of the way our phone works its easier to just have your rom and gapps already on the phone before you enter the recovery.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheArchetect:
ok so I have updated Kies and already I regret. Kies opens ok but is partially out side the screen, as attached, and will only minimise and close. I can move the window slowly but only from the move control and not by dragiing and this very slow and a pain. This is a problem as some of the controls are to the right of the kies window. Also when connected kies runs slow and will not connect.

I am using a dell precision pc with ms xp and not a net book. I have 2 screens - one A4 size and one A3 size. No problem with other programmes including previos kies.

I have checked and my note has the lastest availble firmware version 4.0.4 and the latest kies air.

I have now removed kies from my pc and will start again by reinstalling the latest version and see what happens.

Well that did not work. Kies is running but is running very slow and makes the curser slow to move across screen when in Kies. It still will not resize and so when opened the top right hand side sync tab can not be seen or click.

Good morning everyone, I bought a Razr I last month and this week I didn't understand why my alarm clock didn't ring....and it is the standby mode which causes this bug, the alarm clock only rings when I return to normal mode

I think we can tell you:

"It's not a bug, it's a feature"

Alarm clock is a app like every other app. While in standby app can't be launched, so you'll have no alarm.

The only workaround you can have is to have an hardware buildin alarm into the phone, wich (of course) is not the case.

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burn02:
The sleep mode, is a mode to save the maximum the battery.

It stop all the datas/wifi/gsm. And all the "wake lock" process does not works. So all the command that could wake the phone, could not work. So in fact the alarm could not wake the phone.

And it's more then that. If you put your phone in this mode, and put of your sim card, you will see that, when your phone go back, the time as not increase.

(if you put it at 5, and wake it up at 6, the phone will says 5.)

With the sim card, it's not visible as it get the time from the network. ;)

So yes it's normal.

Hi Guys,

I have just purchased Sony Xperia S coz I got good reviews for it. But now when going more deep into Xperia S blog posts there are questions raised on the manufacturing week of the phone.

I purchased a phone mentioning 12W16 and with Touch Firmware 7. Are the phones manufactured during these weeks good?

Are they free from defects such as Yellow tint etc. and will have no issues during the near upgrade to Jelly Bean.

Since you guys are experts will need your suggestions on this else i can catch hold of Sony Service Center and ask for a latest model.

Thanks in advance.

hi I'm new here so go easy on me;)

hope this's the right thread

I've been trying to flash the rom cyaonomod 9 but I always get the status 7 error, now I figured that I have the wrong kernel (ARC-DooMKernel-ICS-v05-modules_CWM), 'cause if I'm correct you have to have a kernel that's compatible with the rom, right? Because I suspect that Doomkernel is not, I tried LuPuS JellyBean v7 , but weird thing is that the downoad is a .zip of +100MB, not a .img of about 5MB like I suspected. And trying to "install from .zip file" aborts without an error. So my 2 questions are: can someone post a link for the Jellybean-kernel (I have a SE Arc S(lt18)), and is that .zip correct or should I do something with it?

Hi to all friendly forum people!

Since several weeks now, I've been experiencing this unfortunate "media" battery drain. From the google and XDA search results I found out that others have experienced it as well but the solution offered didn't help me. One "fix" suggested to wipe the memory card to see if this fixes the issue (I thought this really might be the core problem since I had that notification center message about the isyncr scanner running on the background). So I backed up my SD card contents and did a format. Unfortunately this wasn't helpful. I left the card blank and uninstalled isyncr, restarted the phone but the media drains continues its course.

Does anyone have a solution that doesn't involve factory reset.

Here, check these pictures out: (since I don't have enough posts, here is the link in this format: goo. gl / PVXGU

Thank you very much for your input! :good:

P.S. Another thing I witnessed several times now is that *some* times the charging of the phone takes about 4 hours (2x more than normal) and I've seen the phone in the last 2 months to just power off itself without any pressing of the power button or lack of battery. Still no sudden death, but I find it odd and unacceptable for smartphone of this class.

I have seen the media scanner go mad a few times on my SG3, go to app manager and force stop media storage, clear data and then reboot the phone.

Even after doing this the scanner will still run for 30 odd minutes after each boot. An app called rescan media root can be used to temporarily disable the scanner.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shug69:
Try 'Rescan Media' app from Playstore. It stops the media scanning process from running amok.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rosenthal:
Fail...

I decided to report on my results after the factory reset I did with the hope to fix the problem.

It's actually very disappointing to see that even after the factory reset, format of the SD Card and taking out the card altogether the problem wasn't fixed in either of the attempts.

So, I did the factory reset, went through the activation process, installed all my apps again and then used TitaniumBackup to restore the data of all those apps. Then after the phone's battery was exhausted, I charged it fully to initiate the test and see if the issue is still present. Unfortunately the "Media" process is once again the top battery hogger and is the main reason behind the accelerated drain I witness on my Galaxy s3. Another thing I witness is that randomly, out of the blue I see in the notification bar that my SD card has been unexpectedly removed and then that it's ready for access again. All in all, I can access the card's contents but this notification is suspicious and probably part of the problem, but I'm almost sure that the card itself isn't the faulty one. I purchased it from reputable source and the brand is trustworthy in my opinion. The problem has to be in the phone itself.

Another thing is that after the factory reset I didn't let the phone run without any apps or restoring the app's data. Maybe I should have, since some those app's data could be in the core of this issue and TitaniumBackup might have brought it to its previous state, but I forgot to and wanted to access some of my apps' contents prior to the FactoryReset.

All in all, this problem proved to be very irritating, time consuming and unacceptable in my opinion. Maybe I should contact Samsung or the retailer that sold me the phone since it's still warranty covered, but I guess I will end up selling it and purchasing something else, probably a Nexus 4 or an iPhone (despite all the ridicule circulating about it, being a toy with limited capabilities bla bla bla... From the feedback of numerous people I know, owning iOS devises I don't know one that had issues with them that caused them that much wasted time and energy)

So that's all I had to say. I wish luck to anyone else experiencing the same problem and take care!

I have to report the "Media Battery Drain" also.

I'm on the latest Italian H3G Firmware (JB 4.1.2 JZO54K.I9300XXELLA).

I had an important drain sometimes, the last time it happened the battery was drained from 100% to 8% in 4 hours. This is not normal, in my opinion.

The problem come out after I mounted a Sandisk Class10 microSD... so viewing that, apparently, there is no correlation between the brand of the sd card and the issue, because a lot of people is experiencing issues with various brands.

I formatted the SD card, after a backup, but the problem is present even if the micro SD is empty...

Probably the solution that fits well for me is switching to Cyanogenmod 10.1 ( a friend of mine is using that rom without issues). :rolleyes:

I'll search a solution too...

I forget to report that my phone becomes hot during the battery draining, approximately in direction of the microSD position.
