Hi there,

I am using Ultima-Rom, but I believe the camera app is the same as in stock.

I am missing a function to zom in/out before tacking a picture. Did I miss it or doesn't it exist? Before the S3 I had a Defy mini where it was possible to use the volume buttons to zoom in/out. Is there any solution/mod/alternative camera app for this?

U r on the wrong forum buddy!

This is galaxy Apollo forum not s3

For ur query, and I don't think the stick camera supports zoom.

Just download any camera app from g play. Most of them have zoom function ( i think).

But y do u need zoom? Just click a pic without zoom and zoom in /out via your gallery.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremyr62:
When I import a landscape format powerpoint file (converted into a landscape PDF) they seem to always import into SNote in portrait format. That means when I look at the imported PDF in SNote in landscape I get the wasted space at the side of the now portrait format presentation. Anyone discovered a way to import into landscape? The presentation looks fine when the GNote is held in portrait but when I display this using my Allshare Cast dongle it only uses about half of the available data projector area. If I could get it imported as landscape I would be able to use all the data projector area.

A few weeks ago I've configured my corporate mail with exchange and it worked great. But some day I've decided to try out another ROM... and my problems starts. I can't connect to exchange server to get my mail. In any time when I configure email I get well known across universe message: Security update required. No matter what I do (setting PIN to unlock, phone decryption, creating account deleting it and creating again, flashing another ROM. Nothing so far. It seems to be a problem for any ROM above 4.0.3

It is hard to believe that it stopped to work and there is no chance to work it properly.

I've searched across with no success to find any solution. I can't remember which ROM was good

Please any helpful ideas be appreciable.

I'm unable to connect via USB to my AT&T HTC One S.

It loops through CWM Bootloader.

I can get the HBOOT to come up but I can't factory reset. It does nothing.

How am I supposed to reset CWM or copy any files to flash the device?

Even the RUU flash doesn't work because it can't connect via USB.

When I try to mount the USB it gives me the unable to open ums lunfile error.

also I can't seem to mount the SD card either. This is awesome.

I've read around and tried other solutions but all of them seem to fail at the point where I need to be able to connect the device via USB.

What can I do?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] codeprimate:
1 - reboot into fastboot mode (when it is powering on, you'll need to hold volume down until the bootloader screen pops up)

2 - connect it to your pc (you'll need the latest drivers and if you have windows 8 - there is some chicanery involved, search xda for help)

3 - if it says "fastboot usb" on the device you are ready to rumble

4 - in the adb/fastboot folder run the following command (replace twrp.img with whatever the name of the recovery is) -> fastboot flash recovery

twrp.img

5 - you should be able to boot into recovery now (navigate with the volume up/down and select with the power button

First of all I read all the possible posts here in the XDA forum about this problem but no one was able to help me :s

I was listening music with my cellphone than it crashed and turned of from nohting. My first thought was "Damm, it crashed!" and I removed the battery and after a couple minutes I put it back and than the cellphone never turned on again. No battery status is showing up, no leds, odin and flash mode doens't work either. I don't no what to do :s

I tried this:

◘ Unplug from USB, remove battery 5 min, put it back

◘ Odin and Flash mode

◘ Turn it on without battery on pc

◘ Turn it on while recharging

My GNexus model is a I9250 GSM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 7175:
Could you add some more details? How long the phone's been in operation, refurbished?, rooted?, your current ROM, kernel, radios, advanced kernel settings such as voltage changes, any tweaks, battery type, temperature.

This exactly happened to me on my DroidX. I spent 2 weeks trying everything to revive it including taking the phone apart before adding it to the pile and getting my current GNexus Toro.. so I know how much this sucks. :( I'm not an expert on phones bricking but I know that connections can go bad or come loose, especially if the phone has been dropped or other impact, components start to lose their integrity over time and voltage shorts 'burn out' op-amps. You mentioned listening to music, so I'm wandering about the IVA components burning out, which usually has voltage too high especially on boot... Hope you can get it working.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] balums:
Well first of all I thank you for your concern and my phone is on again, thanks to my uncle. The phone is '4 months old', I rooted last month, bootloader unlocked and I was using samsung stock rom (4.2.1 JB). Yeah, that really suck monkey b*lls. If you got the same problem as me (I really hope not) that's what you should do: First remove the battery, plug the charger and than put the battery back. In my case, It kind "shorted" the battery and my phone is back on. I was reading posts and posts and discovered that GNexus has this problem and a lot. Dunno when it can happen again but I really don't want a paperweight. Once again, thank you! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 7175:

Confirmation: balums worked for me

balums uncle's solution worked for me: specifically, (1) removed USB power, (2) removed battery, (3) applied USB power, (4) inserted battery, (5) press power button.

Thanks balums!

Does anybody have technical (design/EE) insight into what would cause this?

This was starting from a device that appeared totally dead.

The battery was *fully charged* (and showed up that way immediately when the device finally booted).

I had done the obvious things of removing/inserting the battery, cleaning contacts, checking the USB power connection.

Was about to pull it apart when I saw balums post, saving me huge time.

Device is about 16 months old. Stock OS and settings. First time this has happened.

Search terms:

CDMA (Verizon) Samsung Galaxy Nexus -- SCH-i515.

Phone won't boot. Device won't turn on. Won't start. Dead. No worky.

Thanks,

Seth
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrMovl:
Awesome! You trick worked, balums!

Interestingly I also have the standard stock version of OS and Hardware which I bought 14 Months ago (nearly to the day). I was surfing over WiFi yesterday evening and when I turned the phone off I noticed the screen getting grey for a moment, not black. And this morning the Nexus just didn't turn on.

Anyway, thanks for the solution, have a nice day!

That is very odd because my i515 also did the exact same thing and I have owned it for 15 months. I can't wait to get home and try this trick. More to come.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] szrachen:
Excellent! balums' suggestion helped me. I thought I had tried this before but apparently didn't quite get this in the right sequence.

The only remaining issue I have now is that when it does turn on, I've got the thunderbolt on the battery indicator, the phone says it's charging at the lock screen, but when I go to Battery under Settings it says that the battery is discharging. This effectively has my phone in a state where I can't unplug it (battery is too low but it also doesn't appear to actually "charge"). I tried replacing the Micro USB charge port PCB board and came up with the same results. To me, this seems like a problem and may indicate a motherboard or battery connection issue. I used the "Battery Monitor Widget" and it indicated that it was getting AC power. Any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kisrita:
Thanks to XDA and Balum's suggestion! I thought my phone just died! It was on 70somethign % battery last I looked, connected by USB to the PC and I don't know if I turned it off and walked away for a while or if it turned off by itself, but it would not turn on no matter what I did after I got back to my desk. It is on Android 4.3 takju stock not rooted.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus won't power up

I got a Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I got it from my cousin and therefore don't have any information about the rooting status as well as the ROM but i guess it was running stock. The phone won't turn ON, it is not detected in the computer. No LED or any other indication. I tried the above method which worked for many people but it failed. What is special about the phone is that the upper part of the screen is heating up more as compared to the rest of the phone. Can somebody help me fix this? Is this a hardware issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] i<3myphone:
I have the EXACT same problem as you do. I have no idea where to start to try to fix it. I took a picture, then lines went squiggly across the screen, then it flickered, and died. I cannot power it on at all. I tried Uncle's tricks. No luck.

Anyone have some ideas on what to try? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Renaissance 2K:
Also having the same problem. My Nexus has been rebooting randomly for the past week or so, and finally, this morning, it refuses to turn on at all.

It's a Verizon Galaxy Nexus running stock, but it's been rooted. I'm using the extended battery. The trick that was posted earlier in this thread doesn't seem to work for me. I've tried multiple USB cables and power sources.

I'm going to try the standard battery when I get home, but I'm not expecting positive results.

Work-around

About two months ago whenever I turned my Gnex off, it became totally unresponsive to all attempts to start again. After a lot of trial and error, I discovered that if I pulled the battery for 30-60 minutes and reinstalled, it would power on normally. I have completely wiped and rooted the phone and the problem persisted.

Today I thought about it some and realized there may be some residual charge in the phone, and my waiting period is to allow the charge to drain. To test this theory, I powered the phone down and then tried to restart - nada. Pulled and reset the battery - nada. Pulled the battery, shorted out all four pins that would make contact with the battery, reinstalled battery, and it powered right up. I have not been able to successfully repeat a fast restart when shorting out all four pins. Pulling the battery and waiting 30-60 mins still works.

Incidently about the same time, my screen has stopped auto rotating (and yes it is set to do so).

Similar problem + water

Ok, so I have a similar situation I believe. My phone took a swim. I left it off and riced it. Later on after I believed it to be dry enough, i turned it on. (wow it freaking worked) After a few seconds of using the device checking screen the phone snapped off and went into a reboot. I waited until it came back and i shut it down and thought I'd let it go over night. I plugged it in and let it charge (charge icon was displaying). Everything looked good.

Fast forward. Morning time. I go to turn the phone on. Nothing.

This time the phone won't boot. Instead all i see is the white battery icon show up indicating the battery is 100%. When i plug it in to the charger i get the battery with the charging bolt, then it shows the normal battery indicator light. After that, I get nothing.

I tried the method I saw above. remove power, remove battery, apply usb power, insert battery, press power. Sadly it didn't work.

Anyone have any other ideas as to what might be going on?

Samsung Nexus Won't Turn On

Hi --

Like a lot of people in this group I"m having the same issue with my Nexus phone.

Mine died the other day when I plugged it in to charge - the battery was at about 10%.

I've tried all the things people have suggested for getting it to go back on - long pressing of the power and volume buttons then plugging it in, plugging it in without the battery and then installing the battery, etc. and nothing works.

Is there any possibility is the battery ? Or did I somehow fry the phone when I plugged it in to charge?

Thanks

I purchased a used Verizon Galaxy Nexus SCH-i515 (16GB) and the battery shows fully charged. PRIOR to putting in a SIM card I just purchased, it had turned on and went to the start screen (as would a new phone), so at one time it worked. Once I put in the SIM card, and made sure it was fully charged (and EVEN while plugged in) I pressed the power button and it appears to start, then with the start up screen in the background, it says "powering down" and turns itself off. I have tried the balums' suggestion, but still won't stay on. Could I get some help here, please? Any ideas? It's now March 6, 2016. Thank you! Frances

Hey guys. I am in need of the native email app for our phone. Through a series of dumb moves I have lost my back up and it not even in Titanium Back up any more. Can anyone point me to where I can find it?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladeco:
Are you on a stock rom? If you are (and if you have the rom file), you can extract from the System.img (You'll need to convert the IMG using this app before being able to extract) file and then push to /system/app via adb (or any ROOT file manager on your phone).

Also, learn your lesson! FREEZE the app instead of uninstalling! On stock phones, the SYSTEM partition has almost 1GB of free space, so there's no need to delete apps you judge "useless"!

Hope it helps.

Cheers!

I am tempted to go back to a regular sense 2.1 stock rooted ROM and attempt the upgrade even though I know I might not be able to root again for a while. I rooted through revolutionary. What is the worst, likely thing that could happen? Will I boot back up to all of my data on the stock Thunderbolt ICS?

[Thunderbolt General] trter10:
You have to fully unroot to take the ota.
[Thunderbolt General] RBarnett09:
You, of course, need to fully unroot before you flash back to the stock ROM and take the OTA. If you do not fully unroot, taking the OTA will brick you since it contains a new encrypted hboot. I would just wait for the rooted version of the OTA to be released, which should be posted within the next few days.

It would suck to unroot and take the OTA and then have to wait however long before you can root again.

However, if you're talking about flashing an old stock ROM backup that you may have made a long time ago, it wont have any complications. You will be able to receive the OTA then, but do not install it without fully unrooting first.
[Thunderbolt General] arizonaomnia:
Buy fully on rooting, does that include the option to on route that is found in the Super SU settings?

Sent from my Sense 4 ICS Thunderbolt with Tapatalk 2
[Thunderbolt General] RBarnett09:
I wouldn't trust it.

Just download the files and go through command prompt to unroot. Not sure if it can be done with trter10s tool or not. I rooted mine with the same method and when I ran trter10s tool and hooked up my phone, it basically was saying it was interrupted. So I had to unroot the old manual way through command prompt.

If you can use his tool though, by all means, use it. It will definitely save you time.
[Thunderbolt General] trter10:
No, that only removes superuser. Fully unrooting means flashing everything back to stock (aka tbolt tool)

We are talking about taking the new ICS OTA and the consequences of installing that OTA with your current hboot.

Don't try it.
[Thunderbolt General] Nate14:
Isn't that what he was talking about? Sounds like he was rooted with s-off, flashed a stock rooted rom and then updated via the OTA. Sounds like he didn't apply the stock locked bootloader and the OTA applied just fine. Wouldn't the OTA just overwrite the bootloader with the new locked one?

Looks like the only problem you'd have doing it that way is waiting for a new root method.

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

What version is your bootloader now?
[Thunderbolt General] RBarnett09:
Possibly. I figured you'd probably have to return the bootloader to stock before taking the OTA to prevent a brick.

If you can work around it that way, that is definitely a good thing to know.
