[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegonz77:
My sgs2 has apparently been water damaged while skiing and now i get this weird error, whenever my earphone isnt inside the jack port it freezes. If i restart it wont boot untill the jack is inserted, only the download mode works. Recovery freezes also. I flashed to official firmware i still get the same error, i replaced the jack piece with a new one and the problem persists. It seems like a short circuit somewhere, and for some reason the earphone piece stops it from taking place. So what could the reason be if it isnt the jack piece what else could it be?? does it have a solution that can be fixed without sending it to samsung??

thx

Anyone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
It looks like the jack acts like a bridge to complete the circuit.

I suggest you need to look at the back of the motherboard, it looks the water damage could have broken a solider path connection or sensor, normally the phone by passes the headphone jack until the circuit is complete by the metal of the headphone jack.

Other cause which neds a JTAG is that one of the instructions on the chip has been corrupted so that it can not tell the phone to by pass the jack when it does not sense it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegonz77:
I took appart and took a photo of the backside, apparently there's plenty of humidity marks all around the motherboard so i really cant tell where the problem might be... if it were a corrupt instruction woould i be able to substitute the chip or is there some alternative solution?? how can i identify the problem with the jtag???

Hello All,

I did search before posting but could not find anything close to what I am experiencing. I am coming from Paranoid Android ROM to Galaxy S fre3 2.34d and I started with a squeaky clean install (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format system, format data). I then installed zip from sd card of the rom and then the update and restarted.

When I rebooted and chose to have google NOT restore from backup, I am left with only 2.64GB of internal storage which does not seem right.

The internal storage breakdown does not match what is left over. I should still have something like 8.9GB left over. Any suggestions?

I understand what you are saying but if you look at the big picture which is that the items listed, subtracted from the 11.95GB you start with does not equal 2.65GB left over.

I found a resolution by using the following wipe tool zip:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] potkin:
I had a strange experience with my Infuse (4.2.1 Beanstalk) this morning. Battery fully charged, listening to Spotify while driving to work (car charger and headphone-out connected). Suddenly audio stopped streaming even though signal status icon showed full signal. I figured I needed to restart the phone, but hit Power off instead of Reboot. The phone shut down just fine, but absolutely would not turn on. I tried various combinations of removing the battery, removing the sim card, holding the power button, and three-finger salute (mostly not while driving). After about two hours of futzing, the phone decided to turn back on and has worked just fine all afternoon. The power button seems to work just fine; it sleeps and wakes without problem.

What happened?

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiger2380:
Hey All.

I searched but couldn't find a solution to my question. Is there a script, mod, or whatever that I can download to my tablet will power up when it get plugged in or charge up enough to power on? Like when the battery is completely drain and it will not power up, I want my tablet to turn on by itself when it is charged enough to do so.

Thanks in an advance.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
I doubt you will find such thing.

It is the task of the bootloader to do that.

And no one write bootloader for our tab other than Samsung.

Think of it as the BIOS for your computer motherboard. If you want your pc to turn on like that, your bios has to have the feature.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:
I've seen some people reporting problems with their Wi-Fi MAC address changing after flashing a custom ROM (e.g. one of mine).

Now there aren't many cases where this will cause problems, only if your network has MAC address filtering or if we would all be on the same network with our T's but I decided I wanted to fix it any way.

I got on the right track when I read norti's remark in a thread I happened to stumble upon.

Looking through the files in my build directory and comparing them to the stock ftf I noticed some dead symlinks in /system/etc/firmware/wlan pointing to the aforementioned /data/etc/wlan_macaddr(0/1/2/3). All that was needed was to delete those files and create the proper symlinks.

I made a small CWM-flashable zip for this.

ROM chefs could put these lines in their updater-script. While we're symlinking, there's no need to copy /system/lib/modules/prima/prima_wlan.ko to /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko if you use these lines.

symlink("/system/lib/modules/prima/prima_wlan.ko", "/system/lib/modules/wlan.ko");
symlink("/data/etc/wlan_macaddr0", "/system/etc/firmware/wlan/macaddr0");
symlink("/data/etc/wlan_macaddr1", "/system/etc/firmware/wlan/macaddr1");
symlink("/data/etc/wlan_macaddr2", "/system/etc/firmware/wlan/macaddr2");
symlink("/data/etc/wlan_macaddr3", "/system/etc/firmware/wlan/macaddr3");

wifi_mac_fix.zip
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Charlie.igg:
So if my MAC changed and I'm being filtered out from my office's WiFi all I need to do is flash your .zip? (I'm on a x86 device if that makes any difference)

EDIT - Tried flashing and It aborted the installation, so I guess this is device-specific.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Or do what i did and sent an email to my IT department with my new mac address and they could add it to the network
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:
Yes, this fix is specific to the Xperia T. You might be facing a similar problem that can be fixed with a similar solution but you'd have to take that up with the maker of your ROM.

Or do what gregbradley said, not the best solution in my opinion but probably the quickest. Unless there are more of the same devices with the same problem, i.e. same Mac, it shouldn't be a problem.

Missing MAC

I just flashed XT 2.5 on my recently rooted, locked bootloader, XPTL (AT&T). I have not yet flashed the .140 kernel. I've got a request in to crazymister to build a flashable version of that kernel for my TL.

I am missing my wifi MAC address and this fix did not work. I cannot get wifi turned on. What would you suggest?

I will be trying a few things, like a downgrade of your ROM, and if I find a fix that sticks, I'll let you know.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:
This fix has been integrated in my roms ever since I found it so flashing this won't make any difference. You seem to have a different problem.

There's no .140 for TL yet is there? You should be fine using the LT30p kernel. Try flashing the baseband from the last official TL JB firmware.

In FlashTool, just exclude everything except baseband.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] JohnnyMac999:
I went ahead and downgraded back to stock 9.1.F.1.120 to avoid the high data usage. I'll try your suggestion later today. Thanks
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] JohnnyMac999:
UPDATE: Crazymister made a TL kernel for me, based on my original ftf .sin file (from 9.1.F.1.120), but after flashing your ROM, it didn't like the model embedded in the kernel. I went ahead and flashed .140 for the LT30p (as your ROM makes this phone look like that variation) and the kernel flashed properly, I still have root and wifi works! On to set-up! Thanks again!!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] jonchance_84:
Anyway you could get me that kernel? I have a TL with same firmware on xperiment 2.5. With there being very few TLs, I want to see what's possible with this kernel...being locked on this bootloader sucks. Makes me miss my x10 :-/
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:
You can get the kernel in [URL http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2231741]crazymister's thread [/URL].

Now enough with the OT already.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] JohnnyMac999:
LT30at Kernel

Be advised though that once you're on XperimenT 2.5, your TL (LT30at) now appears, to the OS, to be a T (LT30p), so you may get the same error I did when I went to flash it. The LT30p kernel loaded fine and so far, so good.

Good luck!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] JohnnyMac999:
Sorry man. I'll try to stay on topic.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] grisu59964:
I tried to fix my MAC address by creating the symlinks as described in the first post. The file located at /data/etc/wlan_macaddr0 was present, but 1, 2 and 3 were not. I created new files with slightly different MAC addresses.

So the symlinks are there (the ZIP file worked so far), but unfortunately, my MAC address ist still 30:39:26:9f:ed:2e.

My device is a Xperia V running CyanogenMod 10.1.3 RC2.

Do you have any hint how I can fix this?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:
I'm not sure it works the same on CM and I can't test it. What is the MAC address defined in /data/etc/wlan_macaddr0? Open it in a txt editor to see. If it's 30:39:26:9f:ed:2e then there's your problem. To get back to your own MAC address you need to flash back to stock, then copy your /data/etc/wlan_macaddr0 to your pc before going back to CM, then copy it back. The others should all have the same address, not different ones! If there's only one, it shouldn't be a problem.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] grisu59964:
The MAC address in /data/etc/wlan_macaddr0 is 18:00:....., so the problem is located somewhere else.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:
Have you checked that the symlink was created correctly?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] grisu59964:
I can open /system/etc/firmware/wlan/macaddr0 and see the correct content and SolidExplorer displays the file as a link.

Edit: It also seems to make no difference if /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko links to /system/lib/modules/prima/prima_wlan.ko. If the link is not there (which is the normal case when I flashed CM 10.1), the Wi-Fi works nonetheless.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] USA-RedDragon:
Thanks

Thank you. It had screwed me up. I need to fix that in my rom too.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] :
Are you still looking for a solution?

It didn't work for me either with current CM11 runnning on my Xperia V.

But there is a tool included in CM called mac-update, which automatically patches the firmware file!!!

It was added in commit 942f6a91 in the CyanogenMod/android_device_sony_qcom-common repository.

(Sorry I'm not allowed to post links...)

Start the terminal emulator and run:

su
mac-update

then backup old nv.bin file and copy the new one to the correct place:

mv /system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin /system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin.old
cp /data/misc/wifi/prima/WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin /system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin

Now reboot and you will have your MAC address back!

Help Me Understand Android Build Numbers

Android 2.3.6

Build Numbers CR-T463_B01-S01_V02_20120925
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Android build numbers for AOSP based ROM's and Nexus Devices follow a standard naming convention which you can read more about here. However, most non-Google devices use the device manufactures own build number system which does not have a standard syntax or naming convention. In essence, each manufacturer usually chooses there own naming scheme which works for them and it isn't always easy to figure out how they came up with that naming system for the build number. Try to interpret your build number of CR-T463_B01-S01_V02_20120925, the B may stand for base or build, S may stand for server (As in build server), V may stand for version, and the 2012925 likely refers to the date the build was produced which in this case would be September 25, 2012 (9/25/2012). Overall, most non standard build number designations often refer to a companies internal naming system that can be difficult or near impossible for someone who doesn't know the naming system to figure out.

Streaming video from my tablet to tv with wifi dongal but the audio seems to lag any ideas
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ultramag69:
Stop then start again, don't pause and restart, doesn't work. I've also found that larger files can be an issue, though most stuff works...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Riki1kenobi:
Rooted? Reset the counter with Triangle away. Known issue with Allshare cast.

Non-rooted? Make sure the two devices are in line of sight. Also, make sure there are NO other wifi based devices within the same area. I have a wifi extender in the lounge and it causes the device to stutter every now and then. Other thing to do is disconnect the device and reconnect it via the reset button on the dongle.

For placement, I always find it better to have the dongle as low down as possible when I'm downstairs, upstairs is opposite, I have my tv mounted on a swing bracket near the ceiling and the dongle hangs down from it. So play around with the placement and see IF you have a deadzone in the room near the tv.

If all else fails, connect through the PS3 lol
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] dtl:
ps3 works well but in a different way. You are accessing the note rather than "throwing" the image to the tv. But that is ok, to a point. Also maybe I am doing it wrong, to listen to music I do not have (or I can not see) the option to play from a file or album. All tunes come up to play. The PS3 does not read all types of video files so they need to be saved in the proper format. Also the included video on the note play does not read many video file types either. So I use MX player.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] smrsxn:
Following things can help...

1) clear app cache of allshare cast and anything else that looks related.. including wifidirect

2) disconnect dongle and reconnect.

3) shut down wifi in your house and try again, to see if there is interferance issue between wifi direct signal and wifi signals.

4) place the tablet closer to the dongle, to see if that improves connection

5) take the tablet out of its case, and see if that improves wifi direct signal

6) ensure that dongle software version is LJ02. You can update it by downloading an update on your tablet.

7) turn off bluetooth, to see if it avoids interferance.

8) atleast in s3, there is an option to quit power saving mode on wifi

9) the dongle outputs 720p video... so check if your tv is set for same resolution to avoid upscaling issues.

10) last but not the least... check your hdmi cable

I had the same issue with my s3 with allshare cast dongle... but my note 10.1 would connect without lag...

Doing above steps have made it a bit better connection between my s3 and dongle.

Good luck.. i hope one of these work for you...
