[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zjlow1314:
I've been searching for the google for Huawei X5 U8800H firmware update to Andriod 2.3.5 Gingerbread. But seems U8800H doesn't have the Gingerbread. I can't find a .35 kernel for U8800H, so when I install Aurora ICS then I can't turn it on. Just keep looping on the "Ideos" that logo. So can any professional about this phone can give me a tutorial how to upgrade my U8800H to Aurora ICS?

Currently I'm using the Cyanogenmod 7.2 .32 kernel. :)

Glad professional can help me out ^_^

Hey guys ive made a full backup of everything on my phone but im wondering if wiping my sd card will loose my root or cause bootloops or loss or critical files

nope it will not cause you to lose root. It will just leave your SD Card empty, like the day you first got your day.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanwong98:
Hi guys,

I have an i9100 running CM9.1 Stable. It freezes quite often and i have to reboot in. Sometimes it freezes and reboots itself. I find that theres another problem. Once i reboot it, the battery percentage can drop from 50 to less than 15. When i chack the battery monitor, there is a gap inbetween the the 50 & 15. For the freezing, is it because of me tweaking the voltages? For the battery, is it a battery problem or is it a battery gauge chip problem? I have this problem only on the CM9.1 rom. As i am dual booting, it dosent happen on the Samsung ICS rom. I only changed the voltages for the CM9.1. The battery problem happens on any ROM.

Here are my phone specs:

Location: Singapore

Carrier: Starhub

Brand: Samsung

Model: Galaxy S2 (i9100)

ROM: CM9.1 Stable

Modem: DXLPA

Kernel: Siyah Kernel (I'm dual booting official ICS & CM9)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnie Sins:
Yes, if you undervolt too much your phone can become unstable and cause freezes or reboots. Try other settings which are better for your phone-usage.

Edit: About the battery thing: I don't know the technical background of it, but the sudden battery drain after a freeze and/or reboot happened to me a few times too. I assume this won't happen again if your voltages settings are better

Hello All,

I'm trying to get a stock Verizon OG Droid to work on Pageplus.

I activated it recently and the 3G data and text messaging seems to work just fine but picture messages/mms aren't received nor sent ...

I assume this has something to do with a apn settings or some options, any help would be appreciated :)

Thanks,

Pete
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Eiertschik:
You have to create a second APN for MMS in addition to the mobile data APN.

You should be able to find the necessary information in the help pages of your provider - or use google.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] pasta1234:
Interesting thing is i have tried sending that phone smaller pictures and it seems to receive them, can this be a MMS size limit issue ?

How does one resolve this ?

I am not sure if the APN would cure this problem anymore or has anything to do with it...

Pete
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Eiertschik:
I'm pretty sure there's a size limit on MMS too.

Usually the picture is resized when attaching it.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] pasta1234:
Perhaps i should check the APN settings because it seems very flaky still...

I could not find out where the settings are on this phone, can someone point them out to me ?

Thanks,

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxkid123:
Has anyone had any experience with using their SDcard with either the ntfs file format, or any other? If so, how well did it work and what did you think of it?

I know there are plenty of threads out there asking whether it's theoretically possible to format the SDcard to any other file systems (usually asking ntfs) and still expect android to read it, but I haven't found actual usage statistics (stability, speed). I'm interested in reformatting my SDcard to either NTFS or 4ext (I use linux, so pretty much any file system is game), however I don't know if this will be better for prevent files from easily corrupting, or if it'll still be the same (theoretically it should).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fallon9111:
I didn't know that 4ext was a file system, I believe you meant etx4 :trollolol: 4Ext is a recovery for some android (HTC) devices.

I recommend using 4Ext to format your sd card with whatever it recommends. I think it formats to part ext3 and the rest as ext4, but I can't remember.

I think you can use NTFS or any other popular formats with android though :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
Yes but not on the DHD. Kernel support is required for R/W in those formats. For example, the Samsung Galaxy S3 can use NTFS and exfat formatted SD cards. The DHD can only access fat32 formatted cards and use a multi-partitioned (ext3/ext4) card for app2sd.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxkid123:
thanks, this was what I was looking for!

jeezus, I meant ext4 :p I us 4ext rc8 on my i4g, so I'll probably give it a go sometime.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crutzulee:
It'll soon be time for my family to make the annual migration to the "promised land"....Miami.

Last year I was able to get a pretty neat deal with a T-mobile sim in my SGS1. I had unlimited internet, text and calls for like $50. I was able to tether a laptop and two tablets without issue.

As I've passed that SGS1 on to my son, I figured I would get my Bell Mobility Note unlocked before I leave and just do the same this year. I was happy to see that T-mobile has started carrying the Note so figure I should be able to just do the same with this phone as I believe the hardware for all North American notes are the same.

Can any snowbirds relate thier experience in the Miami area with T-mobile? Do I have to flash a specific modem for this area or will the UCLF-6 one work just as well? I still have the t-mobile sim, can I just take it into the same store I bought it from and have it re-activated?

Thanks in advance for any help received...

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jchoong:


My N4 is from PlayStore USA, and I live outside of US. A few days ago I did a stupid mistake and flashed a wrong bootloader (please don't ask why - the embarrassment still hurts! ). The N4 is now totally dead - cannot be turned on, and won't boot no matter which sets of buttons I hold down.

I have been searching the net for solutions but have not found any simple enough (for me) solution. I read of several similar cases and the solution has been to send back to Google/LG. As I live outside of US, this isn't much of an option. I have also read about use of Gtag to unbrick devices but this is beyond my capability and this service is also not available in my country. Sending the N4 to my local LG service centre for repairs (there's no International warranty) is a last resort but I am not sure whether they have tbe tools and knowhow to unbrick my N4. They may not even want to get involved!

So I am writing in this forum to ask for help. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nuu~:
Why the hell would you even flash the bootloader manually?

Anyway, there was a thread recently about Qualcomm's debugging mode. However, you'll need the appropriate drivers and most likely other software for it to work.

I don't know if anyone actually got it working, though
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jchoong:
I dont know why I did it too - just following wrong instructions ; out of sheer stupidity!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chwads2k8:
download the quacomm usb high speed drivers and install them you might have to do have disk to install them in device manager. then doqnload the QPST qualcomm tool. this will allow you to flash phone images and other files here. It should pick your phone up in download state. Only problem now is that the Qualcomm tool only allows hex image files to be flashed. this is where i was stuck
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jchoong:
Thanks for the qualcomm suggestion. I will look through it when I return to my home country in a week`s time. But from what you have described, the procedure seems too complex for me. I am also following the other `bricked Nexus 4` thread in this section which I was not aware of till yesterday. All indications are that my bricked Nexus 4 will be a total loss - LG in my country has told me that they will not touch my unit until Nexus 4 is officially launched in my country (that could be a couple of months away), and returning the unit back to Google USA will be extremely difficult, complex and cumbersome as I just learned that the unit has to be returned by the original purchaser from USA (I bought the N4 from a 3rd party in my country). Its an expensive mistake and I can only blame myself for the stupid mistake I made.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chwads2k8:
Thats how far i got with my bricked nexus thing was there was no images in hex to flash. the only thing i can think of is that you coulld try acking up a phone in QPST and the flash to bricked one. but you would need to enter the *# code to change usb on working phone to diagnostics

Hello,

I just recently removed my SIM card (while phone was off) for a short period of time. When I put it back in and restarted the phone it asked me to log back into Google and acted like it was my first time on the phone. None of my apps are on the phone anymore and my passcode to get on the phone is no longer there. Everything is gone except my pictures and videos on the SD card. Why would removing the SIM card completely remove all of my settings and apps? Can I get my phone back to the way it was? Thank you ahead of time for any help!

P.S. Using NAND NexusHD2

Does anyone know how to track the original owner of the phone by the serial or imei? or any other information I can get off the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] phreshjoker:
Google mostly or call tmobile saying you found a device that you are willingly wanting to send back to owner for it is "his property" im sure theyll get you connected somehow.

Or get the police involved if you have the text messages still of him stating that he will meet up (make sure it was a public place cause they have cameras so they can see the trade and show his face that it was he who sold it)

And then you can get your money or you could even get him jailtime...

I'm a consultant... ask me anything... I'll run away.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] volcolm:
It's best to call the telco. and report it found -- or go to the nearest police station and do the same. They'll keep it in holding until it's claimed.

Any phone in possession can be tracked without having apps installed (police backdoor). The original owner, on the other hand, can track it if they have remote apps installed or properly configured the apps to do so. Don't hold onto a hot item, as you can be held liable, even if some other guy gave you the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SolaceKane:
The easiest way I have found is calling the contacts on the phone hopefully finding one that outright says "mom brother, father, etc"

Can light bleed develop over time?

(entire bottom of screen, blue tint [left in portrait] and significant bleeding in upper right-hand corner, yellow tint [bottom right-hand in portrait])

(entire top of screen, blue tint [left in portrait] and significant bleeding in lower left-hand corner, yellow tint [bottom right-hand in portrait])

My tablet did not have any bleeding at all when I first took it out of the box. I first noticed the upper left-hand corner being a bit brighter. Just last night, I noticed the yellow-tinted bleed in the lower right-hand corner, and then the blue-tinted bleed in the lower left-hand corner.

Today, I opened up my tablet to fix an unrelated issue (screen lift, by tightening screws), and that seems to have made it worse. However, I noticed bleeding was decreased when the back cover was off. Is it possible that it is caused by the back cover? Would loosening screws fix it?

I cannot get it RMA'ed since I removed the S/N sticker on the back, unfortunately.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] styckx:
See, but it is related..

I never understood why anyone would spend $250, $150, $100, $50 etc on an item, under warranty and try to fix it themselves when it has a defect.. Now you have a defective unit with another defect that is most likely self inflicted and will be an even bigger pain in the ass to get replaced under warranty.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arc07693:
According to Asus, my warranty was void the moment I took it out of the box as I discarded the S/N sticker on the back of the tablet. Also, the bleeding had appeared before I even opened it up. The tablet, that is.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] styckx:
I'm pretty sure you had a moron on the phone

The serial # is on the box it came in (CSSN)

The serial # is readable in settings/about tablet/status menu

The serial # is on another sticker stuck to the board itself (UUID)

There is no way Asus is denying you a warranty because you threw away that trash sticker EVERYONE throws away..
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arc07693:
They weren't exactly denying me a warranty, however the email stated that if the serial number cannot be found on the device itself, the warranty is void. I didn't attempt to send it in, however they did give me an RMA number and perhaps I could try sending it in to them anyway, box and all.

I'm not exactly sure how this whole RMA thing works, since I've never done it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] styckx:
Looking at your screen. The light bleed itself looks normal. Any tablet that you turn the brightness all the way up and show a black screen is going to have it.

Use it normally.. Is there any defect in how the display looks? No? Don't worry about it.. You might be having a mild case of Tech OCD.. :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redmonke255:
That is not normal. Nome of my electronic devices do that.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] styckx:
It's IPS Glow and cameras tend to make it look worse than what the user sees. It's all in the corner and I bet if he changes his viewing angle the glow goes away. Actual light bleed is static and will still be there no matter the angle you are looking at it.

Here is mine

Oh noes!!! Bleeding! RMA RMA RMA!!! And my camera is totally over exposing it and making it look worse! RMA RMA!!

Change angle.. `Bleeding' magically goes away.. The super bright corner is now nearly straight black.

Again.. OP.. Use your device normally. Does your display, colors, anything look out of the ordinary? Or only when you turn your brightness all the way up and stare at a black screen?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arc07693:
Yes. Even on low brightness, the right side of the navbar is noticeably brighter than the rest. And even on low brightness, grays are extremely brighter on the left than on the right.

And it bothers me so very much.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] styckx:
Ok.. Definitely get it RMA'ed.. Sorry to be blunt and direct but a lot of people get Tech OCD and obsess over stuff that is perfectly normal or isn't able to be re-created unless all the planets are aligned, they're standing on one foot and Steve Jobs is defrosted and wheeled out for the next Tech Show. I've done it countless times myself and hate myself every time I do it.. :)

RMA is easy.. Call them. Explain the situation. Act stupid. ie: Don't mention the sticker, don't mention tightening screws, act like XDA doesn't exist. Act like a typical user who is having a typical problem.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] CCallahan:
Any of the GB roms should be fully functional. Most HC roms are at least 90% functional if not all. Just read the changelogs.

As for recommendations?.....Depends on what you are using the tablet for. HC roms make the tablet more like a tablet instead of a big phone and more pen functionality. However, GB is smoother with better speed and doesn't require hboot change.

So this is strange. Using stock Samsung ROM and dial *#0*# the proximity sensor works off the light sensor values. Proximity will be 1 until held right in bright light which at that point will be 0. WTF! I've been having a problem where the phone app uses the proximity sensor to turn off the screen and I can't turn the screen on unless the other end hangs up(big problem when it goes to voice mail) or i run to a bright light so the screen comes back on.

light sensor goes below 60 lux phone will start vibrate.

light sensor goes above 110 lux phone will stop vibrating.

I've tried many ROMs and kernels with no success and have Odined back to a stock Samsung firmware to start over. As of right now nothing should be different from when I got the device. Anyone know whats going on? I'm about to call Samsung for a replacement but wanted to see what people here say first. also I've been flashing ROMs for many years and have never seen this.
