[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilu1978:
The 3G mode power consumption depends on the signal quality and the distance from the connected rx/tx station. With 2G mode too (this is normal), but the 3G range is much smaller than the 2G range (approx. half distance than the 2G). So, the power consumption increasing quickly with the distance. With weak signal the radio device working on max power, and the battery draining due the higher frequency (1800/2100MHz instead of 900MHz of 2G) Example: if my 3G signal is weak, my battery is burn like the hell (in standby too), if I go to the nearest rx/tx station (max. 3G signal), the battery burn faster than 2G, but the difference not significant. You can play with some RIL settings in build.prop, but you can't win extreme battery savings with these settings.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xWhiskey:
That is normal.

However, if you're a light internet user, I would definitely recommend you switch to 2G only. All the web pages and mails would take a bit longer to load, but you would do a lot to save your battery. You can do it from the settings screen if your ROM supports it, but if it doesn't, the code *#*#4636#*#* can get you there.

Hi all I've updated my G9 80 many times and tried all the available ROM's with a few hiccups but have always managed to recover the tab with the info on this forum. On my latest update the tablet appears to refuse to load a ROM from the SDE menu? If I boot the tab normally it halts at the ARCHOS boot screen but I can see the tab in device manager/Disc drives as ARCHOS_A80S but not in the explorer window and the USB is shown as an unknown device. If I boot up into the SDE/Archos A80S Recovery menu and then select (Update Firmware) it opens up a drive on my win7 system labeled A80S_REC as per normal and I can transfer the (fimware_archos_it4.aos) update file across to the tab but when I select (OK to disconnect) the tab starts the update in progress which fails after about 20 seconds with a Update failed (221) message. This is the method that has always solved any problems in my previous operating excursions :) but after a few days of trying to solve this problem I'm now at an impasse :( has anybody any ideas or is it time to upgrade to the Gen 10 and retire this tab as bricked

Thanks for any info

Ken.

I made the basic mistake of trying to update with an older ROM (kicks own backside for making such a basic mistake) aaaaa well back to trying to brick it again but I happy as the screen of my old backup Hannspad is doing my eys in :)
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 55mls:
The 221 error usually means that you have tried to install an older official Archos firmware than the last official Archos firmware you had installed.

If you know exactly which one that was, then you can find a link to download it hidden in-between all of the other rooted and custom ROMs in this list.

Go into Recovery / SDE and do a full Reformat. Do not try to install anything, just go thru the steps (without connecting to your computer) and let it fail the firmware upgrade process. Then exit out so your tablet turns off. Then start back up in Recovery / SDE and do another full Reformat. Then connect to your computer and copy over the Archos .aos file.

If it still shows a 221 error after that, then you may have at some point installed a higher official Archos firmware. Start all over with the above steps, but with the next higher Archos firmware download.

I really do not know just what might happen if say you had the official Archos 4.0.7 firmware installed and then installed a 'rooted' 4.0.25 or 4.0.26 firmware. That could possibly somehow make the tablet only allow you to install that specific official Archos firmware afterwards also.

Let us know what luck you have?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cryo:
Now OK :)

Hi I came to the same conclusion myself and solved the problem 5 min after starting the thread but thanks for the info, it's much appreciated. I cannot understand how I missed this for so long as I've loaded the majority of the roms on this site. I solved it by downloading the latest rooted Firmware 4.0.26 from surdu_petru (GENIUS ROM MAKER :))

Thanks again

That's only available in custom recoveries like CWM. What you're looking at is the stock recovery that came with your device. You need to flash the custom recovery first using whatever method for your device (read device forum) and then only you can flash custom ROMs.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gasp0de:
If you want to install custom roms on your device, please just google the name of your device and the custom rom you would like to flash. There's plenty of guides on the internet. However, about the "unable to mount sdcard" problem: Have you encrypted your phone with the android built-in encryption? I had the same issue when already using ClockworkModRecovery, CWM was unable to mount the partitions due to them being encrypted. I found a workaround by creating a temporary filesystem in Ram, that i mounted in /sdcard/ as described here: android.stackexchange.com/a/23879 (sry i am not yet allowed to share links i guess). Hope i could help,

Gasp0de

EDIT: Please only do this if your problem is that the phone is encrypted. It will probably not be of use in other cases, and i have no idea what might happen.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Relevant Wing:
I have a Galaxy Player 3.6 YP-GS1CB/XAA Nothing was modified from the factory image, It went dead while a game was running and now when I start it, it comes up with the samsung logo and restarts. I havent been able to get it connected to the PC either. I left it charge for hours, when off the charge icon doesnt come up on the screen either. How would i reset it to the default rom, I havent been able to get it to start in download mode either, if im doing it right.

I have a few of these around so I did try putting a full charge battery in it and using its battery in another player and the other player works fine, the battery is full. So basically its stuck in a boot loop and I would prefer fixing it myself then sending it off for repair if possible, any ideas?

Edit: I managed to get into recovery mode and reset it to defaults but its still stuck in a boot loop after recovery and clearing caches, I can now get it into download mode, it seems i need to reflash the stock firmware if possible. Where could I download it and how would i flash it? I have another player available if i need to download the firmware off of it

you will need to use odin in windows, do NOT check "repartition", just check PDA and load the factoryfs.tar.md5 file (at least i know thats the filename for usa version, as that is all i use)

My little brother ran into the exact same problem with his Galaxy Player 3.6 he sent it to me to try and fix. The problem is identical to the one you had. My question is, do you recall how you were able to get it into recovery mode? I've tried pressing the Power and Down button which does bring me to the "Warning Custom OS" screen but as soon as I try pressing the Up key it just reboots and goes back to the Samsung screen.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Androthan:
Hello,

Try these steps:

1. Download stock rom (tar file/for EU or US, if you got the US edition, download factoryfs.img

and

normalboot.img

and

repack them both into a tar file, maybe with 7zip)

2. Download and install Samsung Kies for the drivers

3. Download ODIN3 (This is a flashing toolkit, just search on the internet for it

and

make sure you download V1.85 or higher)

4. Take out the battery from your player and wait a few seconds

5. Put the battery back into your device and wait also a few seconds

6. Boot player into Download Mode

7. Open ODIN (odin3.exe)

8. Click "PDA" button and select the tar file which includes factoryfs.img and normalboot.img

9. Make sure

nothing

except "Auto reboot" and "F.Reset time" are checked

10. Connect device and wait until ODIN recognizes it (you will "Added!!" in the white box

11. Click "Start" and wait until flashing process is fully finished

12. Unplug and reboot!

Good luck!

similar issue,

i had the same issue with my galaxy 3.6 media player, the only difference is after the annoying ass bootloop the player just stopped turning on entirely. is there any way to fix this? my pc wont recognize it, it wont start up at all, so i have no idea if its even taking a charge. any help would be appreciated greatly...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] troy5890:
Try to charge the player completely and take the battery out for 15 seconds. After that you need to go into download mode, download Odin, and load a stock ROM that fits your region. Fill it in as PDA and press start.

If that didn't work then you can try to download a kernel that best fits your device aka clockworkmod recovery and put in PDA and press start. After that your device should boot up in the recovery.

Dead in reboot

I think I have the same story.

I have a Samsung Galaxy player 3.6 model: YP-GS1CB/XAA, that seems to be dead.:( I have looked a long time at different ways to solve this own my own and am at a dead end.

Symptoms:

1. Device shows only the Samsung Logo when I try to turn it on, looks like it is in a reboot loop.

2. When hooked to a charger or computer, it shows a small pinwheel on screen.

Actions: I hold down power and volume down buttons to try to go into Odin download and the logo goes away(blank screen). Then it vibrates and logo reappears. If I continue to hold the buttons down it just repeats, hence reboot loop.

I tried the restore mode, power and volume up buttons with no results.

I attempted Odin and Unsoft Brick. Both did not recognize the device. I also tried two different windows computers and different USB ports. Still no progress.

Question: Do I have a brick or is there some other way to breathe life back into my little toy?

Thanks for any light you might be able to shine on this.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kampana:
Hi all,

I just purchased a new Nexus 10 from Staples. I was worried about lightbleed so I downloaded Backlight Bleed Test off of Play.

I took a photo of the screen with the bleed test app running at 100% brightness. I'm not an expert on display quality by any stretch, but that looks like some pretty bad light bleed.

Judging from the photo, is this a non-issue or should I exchange it?

Thanks for your help everyone.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rodeojones:
I'm no display expert either, but my personal opinion is that's significant light bleed. Considering you paid $500 for the device, I'd suggest you exchange it for another before the window to do so at Staples closes.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KestrelX:
Set it at the brightness you usually use the tablet at. Try using the lightbleed app, then try watching a movie and using a couple frequently used apps. If you can see light bleed then and it bothers you, return it :) I think if you turn it up to 100% you will ALWAYS see something. This thing is damn bright at 100%!

Just my 2 cents :p
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killerapl:
I agree. I'm yet to see a screen with 100% brightness using the backlight bleed ap not have any bleed. Blacklight bleed ap should be banned haha.

With that said: yours looks worse than my replacement. Check out the other thread on nexus 10 general. There's multiple pictures of other peoples bleed. Its titled "dammit I have light bleed" I think.

-1st post is HOW TO EXTRACT kernel.img (boot.img)

-2nd post is HOW TO CONVERT PICTURE FILE to BOOT.RLE

-3rd post is HOW TO REPACK THE KERNEL PAKAGE into boot.img

Requiredment

-Window machine

-installed cygwin

-the full boot.img/kernel (some kernel won't work because there is no full pakage/ i mean we can't)

-bootimg.zip (tool for UNPACK and REPACK kernel)

-boot_screen_logo_creation_package.rar

Thank and Credit

i- Credit to DooMLoRD Recognized Developer over most of XPERIA devices for his own tool and tutor that I learned before

ii- Credit to jimbo77 Senior Member for his tutorial that I used and learned and tool for unpack and repack

ii- Don't forget to give them a thanks meter

=============================================================================

Here we go

1-This section I will show u how to unpack and repack the boot.img

just see from original thread by jimbo77 from here and download the UNPACK and REPACK tool by him HERE

this is a fast guide from me:-

1-extract the bootimg-tools.zip into new folder (name it 'boot' folder)

2-move it into cygwin directory (cygwin/boot)

3- move your fav kernel into same directory

4-run cygwin.bat

5-Now, unpack your boot.img by running the following command:

If your output looks like this, then the extraction has worked correctly! Note that the Command Line string has also been read from the source file, this will be used later when you go to re-pack your file.

Your script folder should now look like this:

boot.img-kernel is the compiled kernel blob that was inside the source boot.img, if you want to replace the kernel with another compiled kernel image, you can replace this file with another one (but leave the file name the same)

boot.img-ramdisk.gz is the gzipped ramdisk image which has been split from the boot.img, you should leave this file alone.

The “out” folder contains the EXTRACTED ramdisk, and this is where you should make your changes to the ramdisk.

Important Note!

Remember, when editing files in the ramdisk through Windows, such as init.rc, Windows notepad will not format the files correctly, making them almost impossible to read, wheras Wordpad will LOOK like it is formatting the files correctly, if you save one of these files from the Wordpad application it will BREAK the file and it will no longer be able to be read correctly by Android. To edit these files you MUST use an editor such as Notepad++ which you can download for free.

AGAIN...

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nelikp:
So.. NEXT step to change a kernel logo is here

Requiredment

1-a picture what are u like to look into the 1st boot screen (kernel logo) (make sure it size/resolution same your device resolution)

2-boot_screen_logo_creation_package.rar

3-some infos and knowledges here

4-window machine like i explained on 1st post

My quick guide

-extract the tool.rar

-move extracted files into new folder (name it 'rle' folder without quote)

-move into cygwin folder (to make it easy to follow my simple guide)

-copy your own logo.png (a picture u want to use on a kernel) into same rle folder

(for 4 steps above it shold look like tis)

-now launch cygwin.bat

Ah...my mistake..don't forget to move/copy/replace new logo.rle into

C/cygwin/boot/out/ramdisk/here

if you done good...follow next step on next post (to repack your moded kernel)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nelikp:
Last step before you flash a new look kernel (boot.img) is

Repack your moded kernel

One thing to note that people may mention in other guides, is that when packing boot.img files, you will usually have to declare a base address, and a command line to the packaging tool. This set of scripts reads the existing command line and base address from the boot.img file you originally provided at the time of repacking, so always make sure you leave your original source boot.img file in the folder and do not re-name it after extraction, your newly created boot.img file will be named boot_new.img and will NOT overwrite the original.

Done! If your screen looks like the image above, then you should now have a freshly created boot_new.img file, ready to be flashed to Android for testing, you can now go ahead and flash it through FASTBOOT one thing I'll recommend though is to first do
