[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidxrooting:
You have to be more specific. When you press vol up and power button what do you see? Are you able to go to recovery mode? Did you charge your xoom?...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draxin:
When you say you deleted everything... do you mean factory reset, or you literally wiped the card??

Someone correct me if I am wrong but, if you wiped the entire card, including bootloader, I think you are S.O.L.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Well, since I imagine you wiped everything via recovery, I presume you didn't wiped your bootloader, so it's not a very difficult thing to be resolved! Let me ask you a few questions to completely solve your problem:

1 - Can you boot?

2 - Does it stuck at Motorola logo?

3 - Is it damaged in any way?

4 - Can you at least turn it on? (Not entering in Android system)

Answer me that and I will be sure to try help you, just need a few more info :)

Good luck ;)

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draxin:
From the sounds of it, you have yourself a genuine hard brick. Which means there isn't an answer to give you. You say that you have wiped everything from the tablet. Well if you wiped your Bootloader, then there isn't anything to tell the tablet what to do when the power button is hit, which is much much worse then just not having installed a ROM or a corrupted kernel.

The bootloader is basically a package of code that instructs the O.S.'s kernel what to do and how to start the system. It is the very first thing that starts when turning on a Android device and without it or if it is corrupted, nothing starts....period. It is not something you mess with unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing.

I don't know if it is something that could be fixed by a noob, novice or an amateur with the tools available to them. Or if someone that would be able too, would take the time to walk you through it, if that is possible. The only other thing it could be would be if the battery for some reason, lost it's contact, or has corroded enough it isn't holding a charge or completeing the circuit.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news
[Sprint LG Optimus G] JeauxAdam:
Am I wrong in feeling the phone vibrate is weak? I came from an Evo Shift and I could hear it vibrate from across the room. This can be in my pocket and I miss alerts.

Mostly I don't like actually having sound for alerts. Very seldom do I have my phone on anything other than silent. Is it just me? Is there anything that can be done? This is completely nit-picking because this phone is a beast and even with just ICS it smokes.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Xiutehcuhtli:
Depends on what pocket you keep it in.

BOOM!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] JeauxAdam:
Ha! Well I suppose that is true. Sort of.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] signal34:
I notice just the opposite. Coming from the Epic 4G, the LGOG makes me jump when it vibrates. I missed so many calls/texts/emails with the Epic.

Guess it's all relative based on one's previous phone.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] JeauxAdam:
This is very true. Maybe it's something I'll get used to. I could also change the pattern used. Might help make it more noticeable.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] signal34:
That's what I've done -- I use Type 1 for phone calls (very long vibrate) and Type 2 for SMS/email (5 quick ones).
[Sprint LG Optimus G] mdubs:
Coming from the OG Evo and I share your disappointment with the weak vibration of this phone. I work in an office building and rely on the vibration for notifications. Really wish I could get this thing to shake a little more.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] JeauxAdam:
Might be worth adhering a little bell to it or something to get some sound. :)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] touchprofan:
I wouldn't call it nit-picking at all. On my desk my Evo 3d would really vibrate it was impossible to miss. This phone though I miss notifications all of the time, even in my front pocket, even with long vibrate, and pattern vibrate. I'm hoping something can be done about it as well.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] JeauxAdam:
I really doubt there is, which is sad. Still loving the phone!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] eatatjoes13:
really? i had the epic 4g but there was a vibrate intensity bar i had like all the way up, it would vibrate my table, i don't even hear the vibrate or feel it now :(
[Sprint LG Optimus G] signal34:
I remember the haptic feedback slider, but not one for notifications. Then again, I was running CM7.2, so maybe it was removed.

Now I have my LGOG in a Diztronic case which, though I love the case, cuts down on the vibration by about 50%. I'm starting to miss a bunch of notifications now. But, since I already dropped and broke my first LGOG (didn't have a case), I'll keep the case and miss some calls. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] troublecro:
I've noticed,since switching from HTC Hero to Gnex,that my stock Email client won't refresh with no matter what version of ROM.

I never use Gmail app,only a default one with 5 inboxes combined. Refresh time is set 5mins primary and 1hr other. No matter i put SYNC button on or off,I recieve no notifications,only when entering the app.

On my Hero with Gingerbread it worked flawlessly with even whole Sync turned off.....app checked the inbox as I set.

What could be the problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] namtombout:
Possible solutions are settings in gmail app, Google account settings

in main settings, sync enabled on toggles, bad gapps download etc.

If all else fails d/l ROM and stable gapps again backup with adb and

reflash.

I use stock e-mail client,not a Gmail one...
[Windows 8 General] galtom:
Hi,

I have very silly problem.

I would like to have my Spotify installation available to bot users of Windows 8 Pro.

I have installed some games (desktop mode), Office, etc.. and all of them are available for both accounts existing in the system.

Not Spotify though.

What should I do? My disk space is limited - I do not see any point for installing this software twice - I can always re-log in the program itself.

Help, please :)
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Is it a desktop app or a "Metro" app? If it's the latter, the same installation will be used for both, you just have to "buy" it on the other account. If it's a desktop app, usually you just need to make sure "Install for all users" is selected during setup.
[Windows 8 General] galtom:
It is a desktop app and it does not have such an option - it does not ask during installation :(

But other apps I have - Office 2010, Office 2013 Preview, F1 2011 also did not asked me if I want them just form me or all users of PC.

Problem is this one installs under: C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\Spotify\spotify.exe (and I do not have an option to install it in different place :( )

Is there any thing I can do about it?
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Hmm... interesting. Can you run the installer as Admin? Installing into the user folder like that is usually something done to avoid requiring Admin permissions.

Otherwise, if the installer is not cooperating and you're seriously concerned about the space it uses, do the following:

1. Install it for both users, normally.

2. Create a location on the filesystem that both users can access. I recommend against using a folder under Program Files as that is usually write-restricted and the app may expect to be able to write to itself; ProgramData may be better.

3. Move the binaries (presumably you don't want the data files, just the binaries... or at least, only also move those data files which are same between installs) from one install folder to the new location.

4. Use symlinks (the mklink command in CMD, you may need to be running as Admin) to link the binaries back into the original install folder. You can use either symbolic links or hard links, actually; hard links may have trivially better performance. Neither one will consume a meaningful amount of disk space.

5. Verify that the first install (with the moved-and-linked binaries/data files) still works, then exit it.

6. Delete the relevant files from the second install, then create the links there too.

Congrats, you've done how much work to save yourself a few megs of space?
[Windows 8 General] galtom:
Your guide will be useful for future - thanks.

Spotify is small enough that I can install it twice ;)

Hey there. I bought my wife a GS3 for T-Mo off of Craigslist, and it has an AOKP jellybean ROM on it. I personally like the ROM, but my wife complains about certain bugs, and doesn't use much (if any) of the customization features.

I don't want to flash it back to stock as I think Samsungs interface is junk.

Can anyone please recommend a very simple, relatively bug free custom ROM to flash?

Thanks for the help!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
what type of "custom" "bug free" rom, like no TouchWiz? look at my signature there is a resource guide I have created. What are the bugs she doesn't like maybe we can eliminate them, or you can update her phone so she doesn't have them...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] critofur:
I tried a few then ended up on this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1750270

The reason I've stayed with it is I haven't had any problems and I can use Nova launcher with it.

Once I find out which Jelly Bean ROM will work well with PDroid, I will switch to that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
@OP, if you can turn this into a "Let's fix my wife's phone issues" thread, I'll leave it open. If it stays as a Best ROM thread then it'll get locked (they always turn into "whip it out and see who's is better" threads).

Like mt3g said, what issues is she having? Also like he said, go to the Bible (stuck in the General section) and you'll get a good synopsis of what is going on around the Development section.

Wives can be a tricky bunch. Mine is running a custom AOSP on her SGS2 that I tweaked out myself. While it is 99% stable, she'll find that 1% wrong and I'll fix it and move on to another issue. Sometimes for fun, I take a bootanimation.zip and load into her /data/local and the next time she reboots, it throws her off a bit. Now she is pretty savvy at all this, so I usually get a text shortly after. One time I put a screen shot of my SGS3 on her wall and moved all her icons to another page. That one really messed her head up. She screws with my tablet when I am not home, so she knows how the game works.

What I am saying is that you/we can probably solve most of her issues if you let us know what they are.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
That is awesome, I'm going to be messing with all my friends now, thanks.

You could use Nova Launcher with any and every rom my friend available, for our device at least.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rehughe:
Yeah...I didn't mean to start a "best ROM" thread as I know how annoying those can be. I understand that some ROM's can be a bit buggy, and thats a trade off most of us are willing to live with to have the latest features and customizations. To better rephrase my question, I am not looking for the "most stable" ROM. I'm looking for any option, whether it be tweeking some settings, or flashing a new ROM. My wife is completely phone illiterate compared to most of us on this website. She uses all the features on her phone, but thats it. She loves AOKP because she can make her font pink...lol.

The main three issues she has are below.

1. Turns off randomly on its own

2. When she hits the power button to wake up the phone, the light up haptic buttons at the bottom of the the phone light up, but the screen doesn't go on. At this point she is forced to pull the battery to restart the phone and get the screen working.

3. Phone freezes quite often
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
I would suggest wiping phone and or maybe installing a different rom/ kernel combo... that all sounds like a kernel issue. Get her phone and go to Settings>about phone> and tell me android version, Kernel Version, AOKP Version.

She can have her font pink on a stock based rom as well... does she use BlueTooth?

If not I suggest updating to the latest of Mike's rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2037028 it is 4.2.1 it is mostly Cm-10.1, but with his and DjIntrigue's cherry picks and little fixes here and there. They're switching to AOKP for the most part on Friday with a new release.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rehughe:
Android Version: 4.1.1

Kernel: 3.0.43-cyanogenmod-faux123-att-tmo-g43de6e3 sethyx@chaos) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Oct 1 02:39:01 CEST 2012

AOKP Version: aokp_d2tmo_jb_build-4

If I flash to a new ROM would you recommend trying a different kernel?

Thanks for the help!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
I recommend not try a new kernel mostly. If all else fails go to a stock based ROM TouchWiz isn't too bad. I prefer aosp based roms but not all phones are created equal. Yours not liking the kernel can more then likely be fixed by raising the deep sleep MHz but that'll result in not so great battery life.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rehughe:
Ok...thanks a lot. I'll give the suggested ROM a try.

Thanks again!

Okay, posted several times on Q&A forum and had no luck there so I am trying here. My s3 mhl adapter that I have been using to play games etc. Via the note 2 stopped working from one day from another. It says "hdmi cable connected" when I plug in my note 2, but i get no picture nor sound. I tryed it with my friends s3 and it works. It had been working fine for about 2 weeks before it randomly stopped working.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] yankees45us:
You may need a new mhl adapter. Just in case, make sure the power adapter is plugged in to the mhl adapter while you plug it into the note 2. I had an mhl adapter for the evo 3d and found out the one for the note 2 is different. From my understanding the s3 one should work on the note 2. Have you tried it on another note 2? That may be difficult for you unless you know a friend who has one. Let us know if you figure it out. I'm still trying to figure out which one to buy on amazon.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] PainOdZ:
Thanks for the reply. Ive tried everything possible and what ive come to think is that it must be software related. Unfortunetly i do not have a friend with a note 2 to try it out. Im going to my friends house to try allshare though (he has a samsung tv) and maybe ill get the dongle instead. I still would want the mhl adapter to work though so i dont need to spend more money.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] PainOdZ:
Okay just found out mhl might not work with root. I used exynosabuse to root my device. That might be the issue. Anyone have a solution?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Tw1sted247:
I use Samsung's MHL adapter to HDMI for my Samsung Plasma in my living room. I Use it to watch my Movies from the computer on the big screen etc. The first day it worked great but after a few days use It cuts in and out every so often. Not sure if its cause the frames are to slow or what? But if you find an MHL adapter for an S3 it WILL work for the Galaxy Note 2... If you check on samsungs site the part #'s for the two are the exact same for all models of S3 (there are like 3-5 models) not only is the part number the same for all those and the note 2. But if you are really anal you can click the link at the bottom of the description that says all compatible models. And the Note 2 will be listed there as well.:good:

Avatar has now released their official release of this ROM. They will most probably take over now, so thanks very much to them :) We can still use this now as a forum to dicuss this wonderful ROM :)

Themes are the main feature of this ROM for now, Avatar is working on integrating a personal assistant and layout theming, but for now, its all about themes.

The themes change the look and feel of many parts of the ROM such as the wallpaper(of course), the launcher, the bottom dock bar, the status bar, the lockscreen, most icons, the keyboard, the dialer and a lot of other things in the ROM​

Working

*Booting!

*Camera (Still/video)

*Wifi

*Bluetooth

*Mobile Data

*Audio

*Everything as far as I can see :)

Not working

*Still testing(most probably the same as CM10 as it is based on it)

HOW TO INSTALL

1.Download the ROM and latest GAPPS

2.Put it on your "sdcard".

3.Reboot into recovery .

4.Wipe data, dalvik cache, wipe cache and format /system in mounts and storage.

5.Select install zip from SD card.

5.Install Avatar ROM ported by Richyricho.zip

6.Install the which ever GAPPS you prefer

7.Reboot and enjoy :)
