[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
Not everyone has the hardened hboot so it is important that they check before they try it. Still though, it isn't necessary to take the ota. Just flash the radios and then the flashable zip posted in the dev section. No tricks required.
[Thunderbolt General] Dark Jedi:
Yeah if you are rooted to begin with why would you want to take the ota anyway? As you will be flashing ics roms anyways.
[Thunderbolt General] Dannar:
So if you're like me, and you rooted with the revolutionary method back in the day, and you're rocking a custom ROM (skyraider), updating to a new ICS rom is pretty much like switching to any new ROM? Radios aside, of course. God I hate changing radios...

Duely blundered from my thunderdolt.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
That is correct. Just flash the new radios first.
[Thunderbolt General] Klonopin:
my problem was that I needed to reformat my SDcard and then it worked. if that doesn't work then you may need more help.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koymoy:
Hi guys,

Just wanting to hear your opinion.

I have the SGS3 and love it, but i'm kinda feeling like there is a load of samsung bloatware, tthat cannot be uninstalled...thinking the answer must be a root and a custom rom - but will the battery be better, same or worse? (in general...) and the camera - same question...:)

And in general what is the experiences from you guys regarding, switching from stock samsung to custom? anything to be aware of - saw something about a 'flash counter' when rooting?

brgds

Chris
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
Custom roms generally have little or no bloat and tend to be fast, almost lagless, however you can get broken features, especially with the S3 because the devs lack Exynos sources. Some examples are if you go from anything other than stock ICS to an AOSP rom you will break NFC, in at least 4.2 roms some video streaming is broken, and there can be various others.

All you can do is read the features lists and known issues to see what the rom can do and what is broken.

The flash counter is a counter in the bootloader, everytime you flash a none stock rom through Odin, or root the counter will increase by one. The counter can be reset with the TriangleAway app by chainfire.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
You can use a custom rom that has just been deodexed without any add on and remove what you dont want .

Thx for clarifying and quick reply! :)

Guess i can Google og nfo regarding deodex stuff...;)

/Chris
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
Deodexed = stuff from the odex file is compiled into the app. Eases up themeing but slightly worsens performance.

Though after flashing a rom of your liking you can always do what old man slaphead did: reodex the system :)
[Motorola Droid 3] giovannipaquier:
so, i was looking for a solution to this problem there we have with hw keyboard.

it's a hardware or software problem?

if it's sw, how to fix? if it's hw, motofail can fix it? or now is just our problem?

(HOW COULD I FORGET TO SHOW WHAT PROBLEM? SORRY!)

when you are typing, some letters just don't want to work, and you need to press it again/strongly?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
What problem exactly?
[Motorola Droid 3] giovannipaquier:
edited. i'm sorry!
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Its a problem at kernel level I believe. Everyone I know that owns this phone has that problem to some degree.
[Motorola Droid 3] giovannipaquier:
and we haven't any fix?
[Motorola Droid 3] raymccoy:
Did you have this problem when the phone was brand new, or it appeared after the phone had some use? Is it always the same keys or it's random?
[Motorola Droid 3] FrankieDedo:
hmmmm.....the keys are clicking the right way? because my girlfriend's D3 started like that, and now it doesn't click at all, it's like partially a touch keyboard :P

However, if the keyboard is hardware compromised, you should feel it.

I will try anyway with a uber-clean installation, SBF the phone, put a custom rom, or a different one from your current one and try....

P.S. maybe it could just be the internal flat cable that has detached, i opened the phone several times, and it's a PAIN to make it stay in the right place...maybe an hit could have moved it a little, making the keyboard going mad.

If the D3 is out of warranty, and you have a torx T5 (or T4 can't remember) screwdriver and a bit of patience you could try to open it, reaching the keyboard bus is easy, you just have to unscrew the rear shell....look at the ifixit teardown if you want some pics ;)

(the bus plug is right under the one the guy is unplugging at step 6)
[Motorola Droid 3] giovannipaquier:
since the beginning. random keys.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Mostly at the bottom, m, n, b, v, c, and space bar?
[Motorola Droid 3] giovannipaquier:
the words with () is the ones which didn't worked when i typed.

(q) w e r (t) y u i p

(a) (s) (d) f g (h) j k

z x c v (n) (m)

"alt" doesn't works well too.
[Motorola Droid 3] FrankieDedo:
:confused: It looks like a broken flat cable to me, or something in the controller chip, i doubt it is a kernel or anyway, a software problem... but i could be wrong
[Motorola Droid 3] raymccoy:
Hmm all I can say is that I have never had this problem, and my XT862 is from November 2011 with a heavy use of the keyboard on a daily basis. All keys work fine and with no delay, unless the system is overloaded with some task of course. Alt works good as well.

I'm using Minimoto 1.7 ROM, you might want to give it a try and see if it makes any difference. I'm also using SwiftKey for text prediction on the hardware keyboard.
[Motorola Droid 3] giovannipaquier:
still having some issues with minimoto 1.7. i'll sbf and give a try. if nothing works, i'll send my d3 to assistance.

with minimoto:

qwe(r)tyuio(p)

as(d)(f)(g)hjk(l)

[Motorola Droid 3] raymccoy:
I'm sure it's a hardware problem then
[Motorola Droid 3] giovannipaquier:
motofail, here we go!
[Motorola Droid 3] lunatic_fringe:
It is very much a hardware problem. My D3 had this issue with stock and multiple custom ROMs. For me the a, n, alt, shift, and period keys required multiple presses to function. It persisted for months before I finally contacted Verizon about it and luckily the extended warranty I pay $6 a month for was of some use. They mailed me a replacement at no cost and I can finally use the keyboard.
[Motorola Droid 3] giovannipaquier:
just flashed 2.3.5 xt860 br, with my tool and is woking fine. look:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicocolton:
So after using a bedside clock on my tablet at night for a few months, it seems it has developed some burn-in issues!

It was set to shift the time every 30 seconds or so, but apparently that didn't work as some small places a part of the number still displays. Right now it's a few spots but it went from one spot to a few over time, and I'm worried it will only get worse!

I have already tried leaving on a white image, cycling R/G/B colors, and leaving the Tab off for ~14 hours, but none have had an effect. I have done an online chat with Samsung but as this is out of warranty, they just told me the phone number of the nearest repair center. As I really don't want this repaired, and would rather just buy a new one, is there any way this can be fixed?

A have a (bad) picture of the worst spot in which it has burnt in, hard to tell but it has been circled and is barely visible in the pic. If you look in the red circle just below the center there is a spot that appears to be brighter, this isn't due to the pic but rather the screen itself.

Help anyone?

How to enter code in Samsung Focus 2 I667 ?

Unlock code You can enter in three different ways:

1. Insert foreign (Unaccepted) Sim card

2. The phone should ask for unlock code

3. Enter Unfreeze or Defreeze code

4. Enter NCK or Network code

The phone is now unlocked

If your phone does not ask for the unlock code:

1. Turn on the phone with original Sim card or without Sim card

2. Enter #7465625*638*NCK/Network#

The phone is now unlocked.

If your phone does not ask for the unlock code:

I am about to get a nexus 4 off craigslist. What are some of the things I should look out for before I fork over my cash. Is there any issues I should be aware off? Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTzTrevor:
To be honest most of the issues people have aren't really common with nexus's? But make sure the common thing works. Like phone, camera data and etc. But make sure you ask for the order number and email he used to purchase it from google play to transfer warranty over.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirdroid:
Well may sure you can make calls and get data, no visible damages. Anything else you are covered by warranty. Yes the warranty is based on the phone (serial number), not based on who bought it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTzTrevor:
No it isnt. Google Play requires the email and order number if you're transfering it over from someone else. Because for replacements they add a "bill on your account" because they send you over a new phone then after send you another back.

we unlocked this phone a few months ago and everything was working great.

last week sometime my son stopped receiving calls and txts and had a simcard icon showing that his sim card is locked. we did some troubleshooting with virgin and they determined he needed a new sim. so we restored this phone back to default and now there is still the sim card icon at the top of the screen. when we rebooted the phone it asks for a network unlock code. we were told by virgin to contact rogers to get this code. they were unable to help. i tried entering the unlock code that you provided us previously and we get an error unsuccessful unlock.

any ideas would be great.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] shortyross09:
so after almost two weeks of working with virgin and cellunlocker.net we still have not been able to get this phone working. im being told that sometimes when you update the firmware like we did the phone becomes re locked to the original carrier. i was sent a file to reload the stock firmware but the application just crashes when i run it. Does anyone know what i can do to get this phone up and running?? please help. thank you

Well,, what do you mean by dead?

Has it passed out by itself?

Have you been doing something to it like flashing- rom? radio, or whatever?

Is it loading the battery (orange light) when you connect it?

Is it stock?, unlocked?,

The information you supply is inadequate:)

dead I mean, that does not turn on, you can not turn on the recovery mode or anything.

At the charger, nothing shines.

It is the factory, so probably S-ON

When connected to a computer display QHSUSB_DLOAD This is the only sign of life
[HTC Desire S] asgardr:
I'll not lie to you that i know what has happend.

There is a small chance that your usb port got stuck with dirt, there is no connection and the battery is just empty

Or the emmc chip is fried for some reason-and this is a bigger problem,,,

Anyway, if you are not familiar with servicing phones, not rooted, not unlocked or whatever

, and still have warranty
