[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtfshouldidonow:
Give him a break guys, he's using the xda app and obviously there isn't a search button. And it would have been easier to just answer him than try to be a mean mum.

To OP: You wouldn't regret getting a Nexus 4 mate. The hardware would undoubtedly be outdated in a few years, but it certainly won't fall behind by that much. And you wouldn't feel too far behind from new android versions since this is a nexus.

The glass I think is fragile but putting a case on the back would definitely protect it. But temperature changes (sudden ones) are rumored to affect the glass and cause them to spontaneously break without producing splinters. Based on the data though, one can assume that only a few units are affected by this condition (mine too, unfortunately :( )

Anyways, it's your decision. If you think you can wait, then get the 5, but if your hands are itchy and want to get a sexy device, get the n4 ;)

In my opinion though, wait till june. If the nexus 5 launches and you don't like it, then get the 4, if you do though, then obviously get the nexus 5.

It's already announced with the specs on phone arena and other sites I can Google it and see for yourself; tegra 4, full hd display, 2gb ram and the price omg :rolleyes:

And the specs are so promising, that's the reason why i made this thread.

And the rumored price is said to be around 300$ :o

I'd say hold out for the N5 if it were to be released around May. I doubt that since the N4 was released just a few months ago. Better yet, wait for that Moto X phone..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirdroid:
Exactly and also it mentions tegra 4? That outdated piece of garbage. Qualcomm is currently the best chip. Agreed tegra has better gaming performance but overall Qualcomm blows away tegra.

Anyway there won't be another nexus coming till October. May be they will have a Moto X phone or something but not nexus. That happens once a year during holidays.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbucks911:
i agree with you about tegra, but the tegra 4 isnt outdated, it hasnt even been in a device yet...

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waz675:
Hi, I tried to search on XDA regarding my problem but got "Sorry, search is down temporarily" or whatever. So, here it is!

One of our kids spilt some drink (water I think? I wasn't here when it happened) on the XOOM. And now it seems it will only switch on if it's on a speaker HD dock that I have. It wasn't connected to anything and in a leather case when the drink incident happened. It shows 100% battery and on charge when on the dock but if I disconnect the power, the XOOM switches off.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should try or look at? I hardly use it anymore but the 2 kids do use it to watch shows/youtube and play the odd kid under 3 friendly game so I'd like to extend it's life more than needing to keep it on the HD speaker dock, I know our 3 yr old will turn it up full bore going "I can't hear it daddy" and giving her cheeky grin hehe.

I'm up to doing anything, I did put my HTC ONE X semi recently in a bag of rice for several days after our 1 year old decided that it would look better being in a bucket of water (I see a pattern emerging! Plus not having the XOOM actually physically connected to a power source while the kids are using it would be a load off my mind *IF* I can somehow see if I can fix this issue of it needing to be on the speaker dock to turn and stay on.

Thanks! And ask away if need me to check/look at anything.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] stefantrisic:
Ok here is the problem.Recenlty , actually yesterday i installed new software 2.1 to my xperia x10 mini pro via sony pc companion. Everything went fine , after that i tried some apps , but the sound coming from the apps was kind of bad, i also tried playing music and same thing the sound is weird , like bad speaker but i know its not that , also i can hear a little bit of song like behind that bad sound.I tried factory reset and pc companion fix , installing software once more. Nothing helps, i know its not hardware i mean the speaker cuz before software it worked, pls help tnx :)

AW: [Q] Speaker problem after new software.

How 'bout you try using SE update service? Whenever I bricked my phone without a solution, reflashed with seus and everything worked. Of course, I cannot for sure say that it'll work, but give it a try.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] stefantrisic:
Hey man hi , about that i already tried using SE today and nothing changed . Anyway if anyone can respond is there something like driver for sound in these android which comes with software . It seems i will have to take it to the service.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Maniac-Hunter:
this is funny because i just left my phone today for repair due to the external speaker, i was watching a youtube video and the speaker went crazy and then silent (the battery was very hot as well)... I tryed to flash the original firmware just to make sure it was not a custom rom bug or error but nothing changed...the speaker was dead... So for me the only solution was to take it for repair, lucky for me it was still in warranty. if your's is in warranty as well, better put the original firmware again and take it for repair as well, it will almost for sure be the speaker that died...

[Motorola Droid RAZR] 0razor1:
Hey, been here for quite a while, but stayed away from Android rooting and modding as my Atrix 2 bricked and so I've played it safe with my Razr.

So I've finally rooted 8 months into ownership :highfive: and got this amazing boot manager menu running, its a significant steupo since my HTC s710 days.

A few questions cause I really won't know what to do in case of a brick, and am looking to avoid it altogether.

1. I've made a complete tar backup of my system. Is this stock recovery flashable?

2. I'd like to install a simple rom, JB maybe but without messing with my 1st system if possible. Anything simple and clean. Ram tweaks are more than welcome. And i most definitely need HD video recording and no GPU HW overlay issues unlike FTSv3. And of course battery tweaks, governors not a big issue.

3. I'd like to make it my 2nd system, test it out, then switch over as my first. As such, what do I do with the webtop partition other than formatting it?

4. Is there any way I can repartition my phone's internal memory? without making it incompatible with my OG backup?

5. If I flash a custom kernel, is this on a system-selective or system-wide basis? Like JB requires a different kernel than ICS. This worries me.

6. Will flashing a stock SFB over everything lead to problems?

7. Is the BMM supposed to work only when in recovery mode- on reboot? Cause I hope I've not installed the wrong version. And if so what would be the wright way to go about it.

Thanks a LOT for the help. :good: The deal is that there's no one place where I've been able to find answers to all of these questions. Crossing references are making me go :confused:

Much appreciated. Furthermore, maybe a consolidated set of answers to these questions will help a lot of newbies.

aluminium would kill nfc, as would ANY other alu/steel/iron whatsoever material. it just won't let the radio waves pass through.

so it's glass or plastic or something alike

Does the ion have nfc cause they use aluminum for that phone though I must say I love the feeling of my LT30a they use plastic but it doesn't feel cheep my girl friend thought it was metal at first probably partially do in fact to that it has a very solid build quality to it, it may be plastic but it doesn't feel Plasticy
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feeza:
Hi everyone,

I have search in many topics and didn't find the answer of my problem.

It has starts with my Rom (Omega v19.1) which has suddenly decided to failed the com.android.phone process. After tried many issues, I finally decided to bring my phone back to old parameters : first flash siyah kernel then flash Criskelo-Servan V12 Rom.

But when I have flashed Siyah Kernel (using CWM), the Siyah logo was just "flashing", like blinking.

Few minutes after, the battery was fully empty. There was no way to restart the phone, even in Download mode which shows me the "Low battery. Can't Download" text. If i just plug the battery, it shows the battery logo fully empty with the ring (the same when your computer is lagging), which isn't turning.

By quiclky testing in a store with another GSII, Download mode was working, so my battery seems to be too weak to restart.

I have tried MichalAmrs method, it doesn't work, by plugging to a Computer or to the wall.

Someone has an issue ? I thought that flash siyah kernel again using Download mode (with another battery) could solve my problem, but I am not sure it will brings the battery back.

Thanks for reading

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] troun2000:
So starting from beginning, while playing some music, my A700 reboot and hang up in infinite loop of Acer and Iconia Tab logos. As Vol+Power was not responding, I sent it back to Acer for repair and received it back yesterday after they replaced motherboard (and microphone!?).

Cool.

But no, because after a couple of hours of re-installing, it reboot and finished in the same Logos loop, just after selecting Airplane mode.

So my question, can I re-flash this A700 with a complete clean stock ROM, as I have only access to Fastboot mod?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] TomONeill:
To reflash with fastboot, you'd need an unlocked bootloader. I wouldn't risk that if I were you.

It looks likes a hardware issue. A ROM contains drivers. Drivers control the hardware. When going into airplane mode, the drivers shut down some of the hardware components, like WIFI and Bluetooth. If you'd have a modded ROM, I'd say there's some driver issue which causes the tablet to crash (weird that it's stuck on bootloop, though). Since that's not the case, I'd say there's something wrong with your hardware.

To apply factory settings, did you do the right moves?:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1861092

How did you enter fastboot mode?

Note that there's only a slight difference in going into fastboot or the factory reset mode. It's only a Vol + and -.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] troun2000:
I was asking because I already flashed (in November) my 'previous' A700 with a stock ROM (because JB OTA update failed) without unlocking anything (but using Recovery).

You are probably right, it may be an hardware fault as it does exactly the same as first time and that Acer Support replaced complete motherboard. However it was looking at me very strange that I could get two hardware fault in the row.

I will give a try to the factory reset (I did not knew the move), thanks for the tips.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] TomONeill:
As far as I know it's not possible to flash a stock ROM with fastboot without unlocking the bootloader. Instead, you have to rename the stock ROM to update.zip and put it on your internal storage and then flash it by using recovery (also a button trick).

It could be that it's still the same hardware problem. Maybe Acer didn't know what was wrong and just replaced the motherboard. It's a massive repairing service center, so they're not going to search for everything.

Oh, an important question:

Did Acer, or did they not reinstall your tablet after they "repaired" it?

If not, then it might just be that. It's like your home pc. When you change your motherboard, you might need to reinstall the thing (or re-activate Windows, but that's not relevant ;) ) to prevent errors.

Good luck and I hope you succeed :)

Ps. For what it's worth, you can also try to reflash your device with a beta ROM (it's beta because there isn't a stock ROM available which you can flash without having the bootloader unlocked). You can download it here. Now I'm not quite sure if you can update your tablet then, so it's coming out of beta. To flash it, do whatever I said with the renaming to update.zip (to transfer the ROM, you can use an sd card. It might just look for update.zip on the sdcard too). Please keep in mind that I'm not sure if you can update your tablet so it'll come out of beta. If you are going to try this, please post your results here :)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Moscow Desire:
Considering the same issue happened under the same circumstances, we can pretty much rule out hardware failure. (they claim to have changed the mainboard.

If you look at the Acer 700 troubleshooting tree, they followed procedures. Or perhaps they "claimed" to have changed the system board, when in reality they just re-flashed the rom over the top so they can make more money by the hour. A common practice.

So the issue to me, seems to be either a faulty rom, or, faulty player. Were you using a player from the Play Store?

Also, would help to know which OS you were on. ICS or JB?

As with re-installing a rom, you should be able to get to the stock recovery. In which case, you could try

a. Re-installing the stock version rom again (renamed as update.zip)

b. Install an update.zip compatible with your region.

There are 2 types of boot loop.

1. Iconia.... this is a boot animation loop (stuck at boot animation)

2. Tab continually re-boots over and over. This is a boot-loop

3. Although not considered a boot-loop, stuck at the Acer logo.

So which do you have?

More than likely you have animation loop. Which means the OS is corrupted somehow.If I understand you correctly.

As with fastboot OEM unlock, you can do the following;

Flash a custom recovery

Flash a kernel (boot.img)

Flash a complete system image. This is not like flashing a Rom. It's an image file generated from another user who has a working 700.

As with unlocking your bootloader, well, it depends on if you wish to get things fixed. Or to return it yet again to Acer Repair. Can't tell you what to do Mate. But if it were me, I would take matters into my own hands after previous attempts.

MD
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] troun2000:
So I tried the following (yes, it is inverted relative to theory);

- Press [vol +] + [power]

- As soon as the tablet vibrates, let go of power and play several times [lock]

=> Fastboot mod, displaying "Bootloader vJB-653b3d3: Starting Fasboot USB download protocol"

- Press [vol-] + [power]

- As soon as the tablet vibrates, let go [power] and play [lock]

=> no effect

And as reminder, Recovery is not reachable.

So I guess I can not flash, because I do not have access to recovery, only to fastboot.

Yes they re-install OS as the A700 came back with a German Rom where I sent it with a French Rom.

Thanks a lot for your help :good:
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] TomONeill:
Can you answer both questions MD asked you?

If you're running Jelly Bean, the bootloader has changed. This requires a different way of going in the recovery mode:
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] troun2000:
Not really, first time it happened while playing music with google music player (reboot then loop).

Second time it was after setting the Airplane mode for night (reboot then loop).

I though the same but I found a 'technical paper' saying that board and microphone were changed, and both Wifi and Bluetooth Mac adresses have changed. So it seems they really changed motherboard.

Rom were 'different' when it happened; first was an FR and second was a DE. It was google stock player (only first time).

JB both times.

I do not have access to stock recovery, only fastboot mode

I have;

Acer Logo/animation -> Inconia Tab Logo/animation -> reboot -> Acer Logo/animation -> and so on...

OK, that helps a lot, thanks. I guess what I would like to do is to flash a system Image. Where can I get one?

So far, I have Android SDK installed and Acer drivers installed (which bring me a "ADB interface"-"Acer fastboot interface" device in Windows Device manager)
