[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] COOKtheKILLA:
First: Try booting to recovery and wiping cache/dalvik/fix permissions as said above. Then reboot and see if that helps. If it does go to settings, app, and clear that ad free cache and data.

if no luck there: Download a stock rom (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1737859) and flash the zip from recovery. If you do not know how to do any of this please search and read as much as possible to educate yourself.

if no luck there you may be doing a full wipe or even reformatting and then flashing your new rom. I recommend CM10 personally.

If i just do a factory reset will that remove my root access? How do i boot into recovery? (Like what do i install or press?)

Start fresh. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34726404

Go into download mode and just do the one click application. You'll start fresh with stock rooted ROM. Make sure to get the jellybean one. And back up anything you can if you want.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suki300me:
So I bought this cheap tablet off of ebay and after about a week I connected it into the charger and forgot to unplug it.. Only next morning I saw and when I disconnected it it had turned off. So I turned it on and it was stuck in the newsmy logo and wasn't booting up.

There was nothing on the internet, but somehow I got it working again and for everybody's sake I'm posting what I did here.

First off, even though there are some references that this has allwinner A10 inside, ITS NOT. you will brick this if you flash an allwinner variant kernal.

If you are one of those brave souls who flashed on a allwinner kernals and bricked the thing, you would not be able to go to download mode even. Here is the steps to flash a fresh rom that would resolve most of issues:

1. Download driver pack from the attachment of this post

2. Download RKBatchTool here: http://www.x-drivers.com/catalog/fl...s_electronics/models/rk_batch_tool/27576.html..

3. Now turn off your tablet. If it doesn't turn off press a needle head into the reset pinhole and hold it for 5 seconds

4. Open device manager from your computer

5. Then hold the power on button and volume up(that is the one closer to power button) until it turns on. It'll boot your tab in download mode. After the green robot icon appears connect it to the computer by carefully monitoring device manager of computer

*** If you have flashed an allwinner or other rockchip kernal based ROM earlier and do not go in to download mode or no new device installation in your PC there's a real possibility your download mode combination may have changed. Turn it off by pressing needle to reset pinhole. Then turn off and connect it to PC. Then turn it on and then while in boot screen hold volume up. if not try similar procedure by holding volume down or back buttons. If you see driver installation in the PC and nothing in the tablets screen, thats fine. You can continue with the flasing

6. The driver installation probably will fail. Identify which device that is newly added to the device manager.

7. Right click on the device -> Update Driver. Then manually select -> Have disk then give rockusb file from drivers you just downloaded(if your system is 64-bits use files in amd-64 folder)

8. Then select RK29 as the device and update the driver

9. Now extract and run RKBatchTool and you must see under connected devices button #1 highlighted in green

10. Download official ROM here: http://220.168.57.227:1949/cunchu/20120312T3youhuaruanj.rar

There are other ROMs for T3 here as well. But this is the only thing that works

11. Extract it and give its update.img file path to RKBatchTool FW Path

12. Hit Restore

13. Wait few minutes for flash to complete

14. Then the tab will restart once or twice and will start booting up. This process should take maybe 5 minutes or more. Be patient

15. Then it'll finally boot.

I will post a Jelly Bean ROM for this tab here as soon as I cook one :)

Comments are much appreciated
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soul_0830:
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Was searching for a guide to get my brothers Newsmy Newpad T3 up and running.

Thank you for this guide. will definitely try it out and leave a feedback.

P.S. Jellybean sounds interesting.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soul_0830:
OK. After spending two days I finally got it to detect the Newsmy Newpad T3.

I had to install Android SDK for the USB drivers. (Don't know if it detected from that.)

Then downloaded super one click root. Found the android drivers in it, and when it asked which driver you want to install I gave "Android Composite" not sure but something in those lines.

Successfully rooted it.

Then off the tab and connect the USB cable, press power and volume up (one that is near the power) and when the tab boots

If it asked for drivers please do same as above

Now run the firmware installer provided inside the update.img folder that you downloaded from the original post by suki300me step 10. It is in Chinese and the first option is to change it to English found on the bottom screen.

If everything is set your tab will be in a black screen only thing you know is that it is on is the sound windows 7 makes when the phone is connected to it. Choose the udate .img file and press upgrade.

It will run up to 3-4 stages and will say data copy error. Remove the cable and press power, it will star installing ICS give it few minutes and you are done.

It took me many attempts so don't give up if it didn't work on your first try. Hope this helps someone.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] eltarod:
I bought 2 days ago the u8800 pro... It had 2.2 android and I upgraded it successfully to 4.0 and also did all the extras (used the patched services.jar, used the build.prop with tweaks and unlocked the fps).

Since I will only use this phone for 1 month max and then sell it I just installed my basic apps: Opera,Swiftkey,Kik messenger,adaway,xda app,maildroid,battery widget app and go sms). I did see that battery was getting too quick low so I tested it like this: Closed 3G/Wi-Fi/GPS, fully charged it, calibrated the battery and then I slept so the screen was off. When I woke up (9 hours after) the battery was 87%. Is this normal for this phone?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] TheJoker0:

[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
Hi everyone, I'm planning on upgrading from my Bionic to the Droid DNA. The only thing is I know there are quite a few limitations such as s-off and having to unlock the bootloader.

I'm pretty sure I understand s-off but I just want to clarify:

-Does the s-off issue only apply to the stock kernel? I know most of the kernels available for the device have system r/w support, is there any difference between this and s-off? Meaning if I run a custom kernel I won't have any issues with losing root when I flash a new rom or do a factory reset?

Also, out of curiosity, is anyone working on multi-boot support right now? I really like having this ability on my N7 and Bionic.

I apologize if these seem like naive questions, but I just want to make sure I know what I'm getting into when I purchase a new device. Thanks in advance everyone and thanks to all the developers doing incredible things with this phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] zone23:
Once a kernel is installed it will remain installed or flashed. The only thing you will need to do is reflash the WiFi modules that come with the kernel.

---------- Post added at 09:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------

My ROM for example includes Flash Image GUI which allows you to flash the kernel while your in the ROM then you just reboot into recovery and flash the WiFI modules. The advantage is I don't need a computer to flash a kernel I can do it right on the phone. You should not loose Root once your flash a custom ROM.
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
Thank you for the quick reply. I just found that out, at the same time you posted I was in the process of editing it out of my post. Thank you for confirming that, seems simple enough.

I'm still confused about the difference between s-off vs. a custom kernel with system r/w support though. If it's the same, I guess I don't care about s-off because I plan on flashing a custom kernel shortly after I purchase.
[HTC Droid DNA] zone23:
You know theres a lot of hipe about S-Off thats just I don't lack of better words overkill. The biggest advantage to S-Off is we can flash kernels at the same time as flashing the ROM. Beyond that its just being abe to flash custom splash screens, PRL (primary roaming list) and radios. It woud also let us flash custom bootloaders with additional commands that most would never use. Would S-Off be nice YES - is it necessary NO. I'm pretty sure S-Off will come it always has just a matter of time.
[HTC Droid DNA] atishpatel2012:
custom kernel gets past most of the problems related to s-off. s-off just makes it a "little" harder for devs, and thus, devs usually don't jump on the device as quickly as some device like the nexus. it also means you lack some features like splash logo and super easy flashing. If you are flashing the kernel anyway, then you should be good to go. Hopefully they develop s-off soon. We'll start seeing much more development if we do. :)
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
S off lets you change the splash screen, flash kernels easier, completely re lock the device, flash radios, and many one or 2 things I'm forgetting.

And no, we don't have s off yet.
[HTC Droid DNA] skkitzopath:
:good::angel:
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
Got it. Thanks guys. I don't really mind having to flash the kernel separately anyway so it sounds like s-off isn't something I really have to worry about.

I would like to know if anybody else have this problem with the GPS or if there is any fix for it. When I'm trying to use any app that uses GPS like GMaps, for example, the GPS icon flickers, appearing and disappearing from the notification bar and never locks any GPS. It's like the phone is trying to start the GPS but it is not able to do it and keeps trying and restarting it.

I've made a video comparing the function of the GPS between the GS3 of my girlfriend and mine where you can see the difference.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krion64:
For those unaware of it, on AMOLED displays, a black wallpaper will provide a boost to battery life because black pixels on AMOLED screens don't consume any power, because they aren't powered at all in the first place.

My question is, does this work with the display on the Nexus 7 even though it's a different type?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddieN:
I'm guessing it doesn't since its LCD technology, meaning ALL pixels on the display are powered and therefore draw power, no matter what color is present on the pixels. Black may draw less power than usual but it won't be as good as the AMOLED screens. The biggest power saver on LCD-screens is the brightness is my guess.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
It doesn't save any power if the screen is colored black (besides it being off). The only way to save power on the n7 is to decrease the screen back light.

[HD2 General] beta3:
Hi to all,

I am using HD2 for about 3 years, and during this time thanks to the XDA community I was able to experience on it Windows Mobile 6.5, Windows Phone 7, Android 2.4, Adnoird 4.0.4 and Android 4.1.2. With the last two, I grow very attached to the NexusHD2 ROMs. Moving to the Native SD has improved the performance substantially in the last months.

After all this time, these ROMs helped me reinvent and use my device in many new ways, unavailable to WinMo 6.5 at the time.

What I want to ask you is which device do you think will be worthy successor of this marvelous device?

After the CES 2013, and my preference to metal casing and clean shapes, I’m looking forward to Lenovo K900, whit it’s 5.5” full HD display, 2 gigs of RAM, 13MP camera, and beefy Intel CPU, as possible candidate. What I don’t like is the customizations applied to the OS by Lenovo. Do you think there is a chance for Nexus port on this device.

As alternative I perceive the Nexus4 but despite it’s attractive price, and compared to the K900 hardware, it is more like 2nd best from my prospective. But the option to get the latest Android directly from Google is strengthening the offer.

Probably you have heard the rumors about the upcoming Android 5.0 premier.

I’m not planning to retire my HD2 yet, but with the latest Hardware offering on the market it is hard not to think about it.

Could you share your opinion on the topic?
[HD2 General] theabsurdman:
currently, the google nexus 4. that's what i just bought anyway.

a true developer's phone with an unlocked bootloader, vanilla android etc.
[HD2 General] MaxTorT:
a worthy successor must be able to do everything his predecessor could and better. if the google nexus is the worthy successor we can say goodbye to SD development.:(
[HD2 General] rr5678:
There is no worthy successor and there likely will never be a successor to the HD2. There will probably never be another phone that can run WM6, Android, WP7 and all the other OSs that are out there for the HD2. Just look at HTC now and their locked bootloader crap. Hell, as far as I know, the One X still doesn't have S-OFF.
[HD2 General] Vesavoj:
Your right in every way.

That phone is just legend, and legends does not have successors:)
[HD2 General] hagba:
I have my HD2 in very good shape sitting in my drawer with WM custom KleaNex ROM on it,I bought it ,if not mistaken back in 2009 when it first came out,however never used it since I got the Samsung Galaxy Note II which I think is fully worthwile successor.
[HD2 General] tooAlive:
I must agree. From what I've been able to read up on, the Note II is definitely a capable competitor.

My question is simple. When I export my contacts with built in export procedure of gs3 or with MC backup all is okay.

How can I make a good backup with images at full resolution?

Thanks!

I'm using jb of course but I don't want sync it with Gmail. I want take all my contacts only on phone. It's possible?

Or using Gmail I'll not need anymore to backup and restore when I change rom?

Thanks

From universe with my gs3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oomahey:
No clue about backing up on the phone. But once you sync, you can always restore from Gmail. When you flash a new ROM it first syncs all your contacts and you'll have the full resolution contact pictures, provided you've set good resolution contact pics in the first place when synchronizing. That's what I've been doing for a long time now. :)

Precisely. Very safe that way, even if the SD card goes tits up and/or internal memory gets buggered.

Once synced, the contacts are always available to you. Even if you lose your phone too (I hope that never happens, though)!!
