Why dont you reflash firmware? A fresh install?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
unfortunately you have given little and vague information.

What rom is he running ?

Can he getinto recovery or download mode ?

If he can get into one of these 2 modes, then a simple reflash may solve the problem.

If he cannot get into these modes, then you may need to send it in for repair.

[General Questions and Answers] rajanmr7:
Dear Members,

I have been using Samsung Galaxy S I9000 for the past couple of years. Recently it fell down and the display was broken, Samsung Service centre told me it will cost me 6500 INR to get it replaced. So I decided to upgrade. After looking at options, I have zeroed in on 2 models.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus I9250

or

Sony Xperia SL

I am quite satisfied with both the android phones when it comes to specs. But I am just worried about the issues with them. One of my friend bought Nexus and he always complains that the volume is really low. I have also read in many places about the same issue which is holding me back from buying it.

When it comes to Xperia SL, there are a lot of complaints about the battery life and poor viewing angles in the absence of Amoled.

I am from India, but I am traveling to Duabi next month and will buy the phone there. There is not a big difference in the pricing between the two.

I just cannot come to a conclusion which one should i buy.

Any suggestions will be really appreciated.

I remember when i had an Xperia X8 that the bootloader couldn't be cracked easily so the devs made kernel modules to use till the bootloader was cracked.

The Xperia x8 devs made Overclocking module. And it didn't require unlocked bootloader.

Can't it be done the same for newer xperias?

Hi everyone,

I'm using the deodexed 4.2.1 rom on My Galaxy Nexus with a custom SystemUI.apk that works (it doesn't make notification and navigation bar disappear) taken from this thread.

I successful replaced unwanted image files in the apk with 7zip and now I'm trying to change the clock color in the taskbar.

I do the following things, in order:

1. Decompile apk with apktools

2. Change values of color in the proper xmls

3. Recompile apk

4. Replace SystemUI with the new one

5. Clean Cache/Dalvik and reboot

After that notification and navigation bar disappear. Am i missing something?

Help please! D':

You must sign apk with signapk everytime you make changes into an apk.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okizen:
Hi

After nstalling the CM10.1 fw 4.2.1, my external microsd card became damaged and unreadable by my phone. Does anyone know a workaround for this problem?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neunzehn77:
AW: Damaged card using CM10.1 fw4.2.1

Yes... Got the same Problem.. Take a look at my Post from yesterday.. I found a solution!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKaser:
Hi, I've been experiencing this problem for a while now. Once the screen comes off, the tablet will never wake up. I've clean flashed, with/without gapps, and even right after flashing (EOS, CM, RaymanFX's & Gierdo's, ARHD...) once I turn the screen off (with either the lockpad button in the keyboard, the button on the screen, or after a display timeout) it will never light up again.

I also have trouble switching off the tablet, i.e. I hit shut down and it will never do (I had to go into recovery by power vol-) and hit shut down from there.

Buttons work, so I am thinking it might be firmware problem? Since all roms and different recoveries dont make a difference... I am currently downloading the latest ASUS official firmware from their website, but it'll take some hours since my internet connection here is rubbish.

thanks for any advice and help!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederuco:
When you flash the different ROMs, are you wiping all the following:

Cache

Davlik Cache

System

Factory Reset (from recovery)

If you are skipping any of these, it can cause issues. The most important one is the Factory Reset to erase the system settings and can cause huge issues when jumping from one ROM to another ROM.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKaser:
Yes thanks, of course I am. Full wipes between flashes, cache and dalvik, when changing kernel, etc.

TWRP recovery doesn't install (nor with EasyFlash or GooManager) I currently have CM recovery flashable with EasyFlash. Twrp stalls on a splashscreen and nothing else...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederuco:
If you can boot and want to try TWRP, here is another way to install it so long as you are rooted:

Download the 2.3.2.3 blob from HERE

Place the recovery blob in the /sdcard/ directory. We are going to pretend the downloaded file is called TWRP.blob

Open a terminal window and enter these commands

su
cd /sdcard/
ls
dd if=TWRP.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
reboot

the ls will tell you if the blob is indead where it is supposed to be, if it can be seen, you should be good to go on to the dd command, if you don't see the file, do not procede.

Make sure to change TWRP.blob to the actual name and location of the file you downloaded

Let me know how it goes :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKaser:
thanks for your help, it still didn't work. It stays stuck in the recovery splash screen and it won't even boot into the rom. I have to fix it using EasyFlasher.

I am thinking that all my problems are due to a corrupt firmware or something like that. The tablet never reboots by software or shuts down, with no matter which ROM.

I will perform an internal storage backup and use EasyFlasher to install the official Asus firmware. Hopefully that will make the trick.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederuco:
I found a little mixup with my code, it should be just a REBOOT command at the end and not a REBOOT RECOVERY.

If you do the reboot recovery, it does not complete the flash of the firmware on boot.

Give that a shot and see if it works if you want.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKaser:
Nothing worked. I indeed followed the insturctions you gave me but reading them in the TWRP site so I did it correctly. Still didn't work. I flashed using EasyFlasher the official ASUS firmware, and the tablet still behaves in the same way: Will never shutdown or reboot by software command, will not wake up when screen is switched off... this is frustrating, but it needs to be software, right? It can't be hardware, since the power button does work...

I dont know what else to do... I wiped my tablet clean and flashed the official firmware and the issue is still present...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKaser:
the thing is that the tablet is working (PC reacts to usb) and it makes noises when I plug the keyboard dock... but the power button will just not turn the screen on...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKaser:
Hi, a little bump just to see if someone could help me out. I flashed the latest Team EOS nightly 4.2.2, and it runs like a charm, but as soon as I turn off the screen, it wont come back. I need to do a reboot by holding the power button to be able to use it again. Could it be hardware?

It happens likewise with all roms...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomTcom:
Go to the android development tab of this forum and use the katkernel. Works with EOS roms. I still had a screen freeze but better than the stock kernel. This may help you. Follow the flashing instructions.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKaser:
Thanks Tom, I have already tried katkernel in the past, with the same result.

the tablet cant power off either, it stays with the powering down box for ever. I need to hard reboot it into the recovery and power it down from there...

It's all very strange, it happens like that with every rom i've tried, from 4.0 to 4.2.2, and every kernel.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKaser:
I have followed all the threads I have seen, flashed from roaches Prime 3.0 rom, to EOS 4.2.2, stock Asus/unbrick with easyflash, and using tubuntu installer.

I always find the same issue, cant reboot (it stays stuck), cant tunr screen on after turning it off, and TWRP recovery doesn't work (only the two others provided by easy flasher).

Might it be there is something partially bricked?

I once bricked my USB in my old nexus. I am desperate, the tablet works fine when turned on but can't reboot, power down, or turn the screen back on... it has to be some kind of bricking...

ps: from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=42046184#post42046184

I can corroborate that your commands work.

Is there a way that some part of the hardware is bricked?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomTcom:
That's always possible it's bricked but I wouldn't give up. Dig deep into wheelie and nvflash and how they work. I'm sure you can get it running right again.

Wish I knew more, sorry!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKaser:
no worries, thanks for your effort. Is there a way to completely start from scratch? like format and wipe everything, install fresh bootloader, firmware, etc? like wipe everything wipeable and installable in the hardware?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomTcom:
My commands from the previous postings were to do just that. Format_all and use the configuration file to load from but I could've edited it wrong.

You can try manually pulling all the files from fresh stock software. I don't use any of the tools out there so it's back to research on it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKaser:
once I do a format all, do you know what will I end up with? no OS, no SDCard files, no internal memory, but also no recovery? If so, I guess I have to do flash recovery via Easy Flasher on APX mode.

edit 1:

i couldnt make the --format_partition --format_all work, it gave an error on partition 0.

So, I run --format_partition 1 and its taking too long it seems, cant tell if it's hung up or what...

edit2.

from the config file you provided in the other thread, I can see the partitions are named 3-16. I manually formatted them with your androidpartition.cfg file. I will proceed to installing the stuff and report back. Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheKaser:
I DID IT!!!

I formatted each partition separately with the configuration file.

Once that was done, there was no OS, no recovery, nothing.

In APX mode, flashed the official firmware using EasyFlasher and booted.

There, the screen can be switched on and off and it works!!!! I also could power it down normally.

Back to APX mode, flashed Team Rogue's recovery (TWRP still didn't work), and flashed EOS latest nightly. It all works like it should, I am very very happy.

Thank you sir TomTcom, you are the man!

edit. Also, I removed a dead SD card, that might have helped to not reboot the tablet, since it might have waited for ever to securely stop it while it was dead and non-responsive. I dont want to verify what happens if I plug it back in, I am happy with my brand new TF101, which didnt work properly since December :D:D:D:D:D

If your mic isnt working on skype, viber, or cant capture sound in the video camera, etc... just flash everything again.

i dont know if its a siyah thing or a PA or even a CM10 thing, but i know that ive flashed a couple of times before all of this and honestly what i can say is that theres some kind of bug that just brakes your mics compatibility after a few months of usage, so anyways, just reflash and your all good

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnidex:
Hi all,

I'd usually always had average speeds in scrolling through menus etc. on my Arc S. Then I installed Nova Launcher a few months ago which made it lightning fast!

But recently, it's become painfully slow to the point of being unusable. I've installed several new games and apps lately, and I know that I could uninstall them one by one and see if that's causing the problem, but I'd rather not go through that and lose my data - especially if the cause is something else.

Is there a menu option somewhere that shows me what all the processing power is being spent on? In a similar way to the battery drain screen? I also notice that my Arc S will start chugging, and stutter several times, whenever I'm playing games. It'll have every minute or two, stutter around three times for about five seconds, then go back to normal.

But menu screens are painfully slow. Does any have any ideas? Is there a cache I can clear too? I'm rooted and on the latest ICS ROM.

Thanks in advance,

schnide

Thanks for all the suggestions - I actually went through all the apps I'd installed lately and removed a few to see if it would help.
