[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] mrlightman:
Please tell me how did you fixed your Galaxy Player 5

Please, my friends, help me!

Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 YP-G70 (with phisycal home button) bricked.

I accidentally flashed the rom to SGS-I9000B to the SGP 5.0 so it got bricked.

It's status is: doesn't turn on, doesn't enter in dowload mode (Volume down + Home + Power), doesn't show charging icon.

After weeks of exaustive researche, the only way I was able to enter in download mode was using the Adam's Outler procedure: Instaling Linux, Java, Oracle Virtual Box a version of Windows under VBOX, to run Samsung drivers and Odin after using Unbrickable Resurrector R40.

Well, using this procedure SGP 5.0 enters in downloading mode and when I use the PIT file and BootloadersOnly provided by Adam the result in Odin is PASS! Despite that SGP doesn't reboot and keeps the same way: doesn't turn on, doesn't enter in dowload mode (Volume down + Home + Power), doesn't show charging icon.

So I enter in download mode using Unbrickable Resurrector R40 again and try to flash several SGP 5.0 YP-G70 Intl ROMs: Stock Froyo, Stock Ginger Bread and some Customs ROMs most of them PASS in the Odin result BUT SGP 5.0 never reboots or turn on after the procedure.

I have a doubt of marking or not Re-partition in Odin, but the procedure just works if I mark it.

I feel I was close to resurrect it and make it work again but all I've got is frustration.

I'm not an expert as the major of you so I beg some enlightned soul show me the way to make it works: step by step and share with me the right files I have to use to make it works.

I also have installed Heimdall but I was not able to find the appropriate files to use it and SGP 5.0 can not have the batery removed. Someone wrote Adam has developed a tool for SGP full recovery but I didnt find it.

Please, folks, help me and I will share the solution with other people in the same situation.

Thanks and best regards.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dsixda:
So I've just had my S3 for one month, but I've recently noticed that videos I've recorded with this device have some distortion in the audio. I'm not talking about concert videos where obviously the volume is so loud. Just normal everyday videos.

For example in several videos where people are a reasonable distance (several feet) from the phone, it seems like the audio input gain is so high that the speakers on my earphones are distorted sometimes while people are speaking. In comparison, I don't have this problem when listening to videos recorded with my old S2.

Anyone have the same issue?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
What ROM are you running (If any)? It could be coming from it or even from kernel.

Also, do you have any apps that have control over your mic?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dsixda:
Running the stock JB update from Bell, but rooted. I don't think I have any apps that interfere with the mic. Even with volume at 1 or 2, you can notice the problem. However, it's only obvious with the earphones on.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Could it be that your earphones speakers have gone bad? Or is it there (just not as noticable) without them?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dsixda:
No, because as I said the S2 videos were fine, and I use these earphones all the time for music (sometimes played loud). I wonder if it's a mic issue with my device or a general issue with the S3.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Ah ok, didn't know you tried earphones on both. My guess is your mic, I never had that issue personally nor have I seen it around here.

I wonder if there's a way to control the mic's strenght, perhaps that could help yours if you don't wanna either replace the mic or go for warranty.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dsixda:
I can't take it to warranty as I bought it secondhand (the guy is unreachable now) and I'm on Rogers but with a Bell-purchased phone.

I just tried with another set of earphones and notice the same distorting effect. I notice the problem mostly takes place in the left speaker.. Hmm.. I wonder if it has anything to do with the placement of my thumb and the proximity of the left mic when recording. I'll have to do some more testing when I get home.
[HTC One X] viizx:
Hi guys, so I had some problems with my htc one x, he was having some battery temp problems and I decided to open it. When I opened it i screw fell of, it wasn't screwed ok, I mean wtf HTC why do you make high quality expensive phone if this mistakes are going to happen. Anybody had this problem?
[HTC One X] apan12:
Nope, can't you just reattatch it?
[HTC One X] Flo95:
Never had that and opened mine 5 times

And HTC won't do anything, by opening it you've voided warranty
[HTC One X] BlueSingA:
What were you hoping to achieve by opening it anyway? If you had unusual temperature problems you should have just turned it off and sent it to repair center.
[HTC One X] viizx:
I'm rooted so I have voided my warranty long time ago. I wanted to check is it all ok cause my phone started to feel clumsy and first when I open it I see a screw falling. I reattached it but I'm very sad cause of my phone. The battery is just going crazy he turns off and gets very hot. Once I turned him off over night to charge and then from nothing he just turns on and wakes me up with that loud vibration. I really don't know what is happening with my phone
[HTC One X] NITRO_100:
Btw if its hardware problem, which can be, rooting does not avoid hardware warranty.

I stupidly deleted the bluetooth apps on my phone so now my bluetooth doesn't work.

Unfortunately the thread with all the stock apps has only non-working links(at least for me). So if anybody could provide me with the bluetooth apps (I think mainly bluetoothoop.apk , BluetoothTestMode.apk and the BluetoothServices.apk) I would be highly appreciative.

Thank you in advance

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MEPEH:
I have a N7100 that was laying on the table and decided to reboot. It happens all the time with androids so i din't pay attention/ Except that half an hour later it was still showing the same Samsung Boot screen.

Stock ROM, not rooted. Never messed with it. Just like it was out the box. No updates recently. Just out of nowhere.

What i did:

Pulled the battery out for a few minutes - nothing

Volume UP + Home + Power does not boot in recovery

Volume Down Home + Power DOES Boot in download mode

Called US Service Center, they went through troubleshooting and said i need to send it in for repair

Called again today to schedule the ticket and they said they don't service International Phones

Emailed UK Samsung and i'm waiting for a reply to my email

Any suggestions ?

I did use the search function but seems like most of the similar issues are related to custom ROMs and i want to avoid installing a custom ROM since it may void the warranty and Samsung UK will make me pay for the service
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
WHich ROM you have on device any idea?

Sorry guys, wish i knew the ROM i have. It's the stock ROM, phone purchased from UK in october 2012. I was on pre order by the way if that helps and i think i only had one Firmware update since i got it
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MEPEH:
If that's the case, what are my options ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Such things exist theoretically, i never practically seen single case

Anyway download this. http://d-h.st/RIJ

And flash using odin

Try it boot or not, if not

Try rebooting to recovery

If it successfully reboot to recovery, wipe cache and data
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MEPEH:
If this fails, will my warranty be voided ? Will they say that it was my mistake that i tried to send packages to the device that failed ?

Has anyone in USA dealt with UK's service center ?

I don't have a phone since yesterday and few of you know what this means :(

Do i flash recovery.tar with PDA button ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
The steps I will mention won't voids warranty, even they won't come to know you have flashed it unless you say them.

if any stage i may suggest that lead to voids warranty, I will tell you in advance.

Yes flash recovery with pda

Procedure should not take more than 15mintes

If you are ready then go ahead, you can expect assistance from me at least 1more hr i am here online.

I'm trying it on a different USB port

proximity light does not glow
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Yeah try using different port/machine

But sorry man i start making doubt, hope you may not been victim of SDS. :mad:

---------- Post added at 12:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 AM ----------

You said in op

It doesn't reboot to recovery, so what exactly you getting when you try to reboot to recovery?

Basically 'stuck at mapping pit' is not good sign.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MEPEH:
Yep, i'm reading though other threads with similar issues and it looks like it's SDS :(

Disappointing.

Has anyone had any experience with shipping the device to UK Service Center ?

What's the turnaround time ? Will i get my phone fixed or they will send a replacement ?

I'm in USA and US will not honor international phones.

When i use Volume UP+ Menu + Power, it stays at the samsung logo. Nothing happens, as if i'm not even attempting to go in recovery

Volume Down + menu + power takes me to the Download Odin mode screen.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Reason to make doubt it is SDS are

-no recovery but just download mode

-spontaneous issue without triggering anything

-spontaneous reboot at time of incidence

-fails odin and most importantly stuck at mapping pit.

Just take care about one thing, don't follow any instructions which leads to raise flash counter, b'coz you have intact download mode and that can be reflect there and you can't claim warranty.

If it is SDS they will replace motherboard, and without warranty it may cost more than $200

I am indian and no idea about policy in USA.

Anyway once try on different machine preferably xp, otherwise leave it to ssc.

Good luck.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MEPEH:
I really appreciate all your help on this matter and your support to this community.

Samsung USA mentioned that my warranty is valid till october 2013

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ExtremeNerd:
I'm getting an error I've never seen before, "Missing Persistent Store Data" when opening an app. For anyone wondering, it's Becker Mobile Flashcards. Very small user base, very specific needs. This error is preventing me from logging in. I have contacted their support, but hoping someone here can help me figure out what this error means so I can troubleshoot it myself.

The app was working fine when I was running Wicked v5 (ICS Build), but it broke when I upgraded to v6 (JB Build) and doesn't work with 4.2 AOKP either.. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the new way storage is handled in JB.

If anyone has any thoughts I'd appreciate it.

I love the features of various source developed ROMs like AOKP, CM, or Paranoid Android. But at the same time I'm so used to certain Touchwiz things, like the calendar, dialer, browser...

What's the likelihood that someone could move the TW framework and apps over to a source-based ROM? Is it possible? Would it be stable? Or should I just find third party apps and move on with my life?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] d3athsd00r:
Some people have been able to port some, not all, of the TW apps but as far as everything else, it's never going to happen. People have wasted hundreds of hours and gotten no where.

I've talked with johnsondr80 over at The Collective some time ago, and they apparently looked into merging TW into their ROM, and apparently it became apparent as to how incredibly massive it was going to be to do that. Apparently TW is interwoven throughout the entire ROM, and in essence would require (pretty much) a build from scratch........ I'm not a dev, so I could've misunderstood.

2. Do you mean the lockscreen widgets? to remove them expand them, long press and hold, swipe upwards as if you were removing an app icon or widget in your launcher.

4. I encountered the same problem once: wipe Play Store data and uninstall the updates (should revert to v3.8.17). Reboot into recovery and wipe cache partition+dalvik cache. Reboot. Enjoy the Play Store.

Does system recovery "Wipe data/factory reset" resets custom kernel to stock?

I'm asking this because im noob, and I want to try JellyBlast for Galaxy GT-S5570I. It has two zip files to flash one is ROM, and one is custom kernel. If I do something wrong I'm afraid that I won't be able to restore nandroid backup.

Sorry for my bad english.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
No, that just wipes app data and other user data, resetting the phone back to factory condition. Kernel is in the /boot partition, with it's related modules in /system partition along with the rest of the ROM files. So flashing a stock ROM will restore boot partition and system partition to stock too, including the kernel. No worries in your case. Just take a nandroid backup and flash the ROM and kernel. When you restore the nandroid backup, it'll automatically wipe the /boot and /system partitions and restore the ones in the backup, so you'll be back to your old ROM with old kernel.
