Latest result

yeah, i think so, maybe it's my device. just now i re-flashed LSJ(oxx) with PIT, yes, i re-partitioned and re-formatted my internal-sd as well, booted and everything working fine. so i decided to give one more chance to LS8(oxx) and the result as expected. now, again, reverting back to LSJ and not planning to install LS8 yet.

here the new thing that i found out when i'm using LS8,

- my power button act weird, it's not just can't lock the screen, but even mid-long press will directly reboot my device(suppose power menu will come out right?)

btw thanks man.

Re: Official JB - Lock screen not working

np man.

just so we're clear.....you get your lockscreen in jb leak? not in ls8....am I right?

Keep away from that spanish ROM then.

Man..I too am thinking about going back to leakland...no media scanner there :P

Re: Official JB - Lock screen not working

Yeah, just finished setting up my leaky rom.

Everything working fine now. So, from my made up theory, the Europe rom might not works well with my Asia device (lsj is global build). Maybe I should give a shot for China rom or I'll just wait for Singapore rom.

After flashing the stock rom in ODIN go back into download mode and flash Siyah v6 beta4, boot into recovery and then do a wipe data/factory reset. This should fix the lock screen issue.

If not just flash latest Wannam rom, Its better then stock sammy anyway.

Thanks mate, but I've done exactly as what you suggested and just they don't work with my phone.

p/s: Actually I don't really mind now. Switched back to Samsung 4.1 just because of it's most "workable" mail app, splanner and I love the Samsung keyboard with swipe function which has multi languages support.

I face same issue as described above. No lock and pressing power key for long gives reboot. I just flashed official LS8 using Odin 1 day back. I had same problem with 4.0.3. In addition to that, FM Radio doesn't pick up any station. Applications resets to default doesn't reset. Thank you.

Dear Friend, I've reached there almost but the vi command not found. I have rooted my phone, added a terminal and done everything as you have directed. Any help, please ? Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kunterk:
Suppose the vi is the most basic text editor. You also can use echo as replacement. Eg. echo ON >> /efs/imei/keystr

Additional, you can set this too, just to make sure system can use it properly:

chmod 0744 /efs/imei/keystr

chown 1000.1000 /efs/imei/keystr

Do this to factorymode as well. Hope this solve yours.

Hi everybody! Thanks a lot in advance for your support...really helpful!

Well, after a while eventually i tried installing C.M. 10.1 on my gorgeous CM10, for a boost of coolness and the sw improvements, but had some issues along the path.

It seems alla right on the first place, but then i tried and the play store (and some other app like waze) wouldn't work.

So i tried to replace the gapps:

Install them from CWM couple of wipe cache, couple of dalvik wipe...and a reboot.

But then the entire sistem stop working.

What did I screw up?

Did I miss the "Clear data factory reset" step? Was it necessary?

Grazie from Italy guys!! :)

The easiest solution is for you to reflash the ROM with all wipes its op suggests an make sure the gapps are for that ROM because they can be the cause of problems too

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] rudefyet:
I commute about 30 miles to work from an area with "4G" HSPA+ to an area with 4G LTE, on the way home, going from LTE to HSPA+, my Xperia loses data connection for at close to 10 miles, in an area that should still have LTE. I've also noticed drops of data in areas of the city which are covered by LTE as well.

Problem is, I have to wait and turn the radio on/off for it to get a data connection again (by the time it connects on the way home I'm in an HSPA+ only zone). Do any other TL owners experience these data dead zones on LTE, where there should be something, even if it's HSPA+/EDGE, but the phone won't connect to it?

There also doesn't seem to be any way to disable LTE on the Xperia TL, or I would try that.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] augie7107:
I have not experienced any data drops out of the ordinary low signal areas. I live in a rural area so these are expected. I have streamed NBA games while riding in a car with just these normal disruptions. You can disable LTE by flashing a Xperia T firmware and including the baseband. T doesn't support LTE.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] crazymister:
You can disable it quite easily.

-connect the phone, kill all kies related process (I'm using Windows) and start odin. If odin recognise your phone at this point, you are good to go else you might want to reinstall usb drivers.

-use full wipe odin files I found from internet (I got from the pirate bay with search key ics full wipe)

If Odin adds and removes quickly, this looks like your USB cable is dead, try flashing with another - Genuine- one

I had a similar issue while flashing my former SGS1: flashing process interrupted suddenly at 50%
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahrozeumar:
A similar kind of thing happened to my phone as well when I was upgrading to 4.0.4 from gingerbread via Kies. The installation got stuck when the phone was in the download mode and I had no other option than to disconnect. But yours got stuck while using Odin. I would suggest you to flash the firmware again. I hope your phone goes into download mode now. As for the drivers, uninstall everything related to samsung from your PC and then reinstall it. DO NOT UPGRADE SAMSUNG KIES IF IT ASKS YOU TO DO SO! AS I TOLD YOU A SIMILAR THING HAPPENED TO MY PHONE. MY PC COULD'NT RECOGNIZE IT AND I REINSTALLED EVEYTHING AND IT FINALLY SHOWED SOME SIGN. MAKE SURE YOUR ANTIVIRUS IS FULLY DEACTIVATED WHILE YOU EXECUTE THE FLASHING OPERATION!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kunterk:
make senses. but genuine won't make any different, all micro usb cable are the same. i'm using my old Nokia micro usb cable now, and just works fine

first of all, while your phone is disconnected from USB cable, can you enter download mode?if no, then try to find someone that have JIG. else, as leech4 said, this might caused by your USB cable. OR might caused by your USB port of your PC. as i said earlier, try to repair your USB driver (not sammy USB driver, but your PC's usb driver). flash using ODIN, and kill kies services from task manager as kies will conflict with ODIN later. here i give you LSJ link(thanks to ApriliaM3) in case you don't have. extract the zip and use all the PDA, PHONE and CSC file. you can even use PIT to re-partition your system. (tested and proven to be working). good luck mate.:good:

Wow, I suspect this kind of brick or what so ever others called it. I've read some where, and they talking about JIG. If what they mean is the same like what I understood from my electronic knowledge, then you have to find someone that have JIG to do further troubleshooting directly from your board, not via usb. Well, I'm just saying. You might want to seek for other solution first since it's your device.

How to Make the Kindle Fire Task Bars Transparent without Root

rege420,

I must say, you gave us the challenge of a lifetime, We tried it today and it is not possible. The main package that needs to be modified is the framework-res-apk which can be found in /system/app, this file is owned by Root and has the Rights of Read Only when you are not at Root. Once you drop to Root, there is a hack that makes the lower and upper bars Transparent but is is a serious hack and requires knowledge on repacking and signing apk's, so for this reason we do not post a How To on this hack.

I will keep it in the back of our minds if we come up with a viable solution, we will get back to you rege420.

Amazon Marketing - Lock Down or Join Open Source

rege420,

Yes, I completely agree. I have never quite understood Amazon's marketing, it just does not make sense. In the end they loose, not us, since we the developers will always find a way around locked down devices. Sony is an excelent idea of a company who embraced the open source market and for this reason, the are very well respected in the development community. If Amazon would open the door a bit, they would inevitably sell more devices.

Hi, I'm Jacob. And I don't know if this is in the correct section, but I do plan on developing apps mainly for the Galaxy S3, so hopefully I've chosen the section wisely...

Now that that's out of the way, I'd like to say that I'm very interested in Android Development. Unfortunately I have no coding knowlage at all. I would love to learn Java, C++, etc. Is there anybody who would be willing to take me under their wing and teach me some of this? Whether it's just simple stuff or not, I honestly don't care. I would just love to jump into creating insane root apps right now, but I have nowhere near the kind of knowlage that I need to even get started. I'm also interested in creating custom ROMs. (and or themes)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
If I can, I would recommend reading through "Java Methods A and AB" to learn java. Very well written and theres a pdf of it online if you search too.

Thats how I learned and other than that, its just putting lots of time into it. I research everything I come across that I'm not familiar with, and now apart from the things actually covered in that book, I know how to make nice GUI's, how to cryptographic encoders work, how to bundle resources with a runnable JAR, etc. You just have to be willing to put the time in to learn, but from there its easy

Also, if you come across it too early, I would suggest not messing with threading and concurrency until you have a good grasp of java

Hey jtkemp.

I'm a sophomore in high school and I've been trying to learn to program. Here's what advice I can give you.

Then after that I have been taking apps currently out there already and modifying them to get better at it. Stay in touch and maybe we can help reach other out, I've been hoping I could find someone that would even let me help with like some stupid stuff they didn't want to do but so far no one. Good luck!

Here are some links to some free online classes you can take

http://rootzwiki.com/index.php?/topic/602-Free-online-programming/CS-courses-for-beginners

And yes for many reasons a ton of people on XDA don't like to or don't have the time to talk about development. Everyone wants to be "the man". It's all baby steps really and depending on what type of development you're interested in (custom ROMs, apps, kernels etc) It all takes time. The hardest part I've had is developing an app. I've used Tasker to make a few personal apps but am still working with eclipse, which I've been told is not all that great to begin with.

But it all depends on what your interests are. Wanna mod and theme? Check out apktool and how to reverse engineer apk's. Wanna make apps and ROMs? Set up a Linux distro (I use Ubuntu and Arch) and download the sdk, CM repo, and the Jdk. Most importantly, use Google. Every thing I posted and virtually any questions I've had have been solved with a search. May take a while but the info is out there (How to set up apktool SGS3, How to install Ubuntu, How to Build CM 10.1, etc)

Feel free to drop me a PM, I'm off until fall semester and have some time on my hands.

Make some friends, they'll help you when you get stuck but no one will hold your hand. Do you use Linux? Learn the Linux command line.
