[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] )(erxis:
Hello as the title says, when I try to set a native resolution wallpaper on a lockscreen of my SGS2(i9100), I am forced to use a crop. And this is weird, because I see no reason to crop such a small image as 800x480 pixels, also I can clearly remember that there was no croping, at least with native resolution pics, on ICS.

ROM - Omega 19.2 (based on stock Jelly Bean for SGS2).

Is it possible to solve this problem and how if it is?

Any help appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blinkenlight:
I suppose you already solved this problem by now, but for the benefit of anyone who might land here from a search query (after all this IS one of the clearest wordings of the problem I've seen yet) - just use the app from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2222518

It installs as an alternative "cropper" and it lets you freely select the area to use as wallpaper, including the whole image if you wish. The phone itself indeed is simply unable to "not crop" even a properly sized image otherwise, ever since the JB update (idiots...). Unless one wants to install a fancy wallpaper manager (some of which can also handle this) or start appending large empty frames around wallpapers just to be able to crop them back to proper size, this small app is just the ticket... :D
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] champdood:
I have a Fido Razr HD (xt925) in Canada, running stock JB, not unlocked/rooted/anything, just the standard phone.

So I did a hard reset, on the suggestion of some to deal with the stuttering issues (which I found were quite bad). Now I have somewhat of a worse issue, it's stuck in an infinite loop of the android update logo (the green android with the spinning blue thing), then a black screen then the motorola logo. Occassionally it shows the android logo on it's bag with a red symbol with a ! in it (which I presume means it's corrupt). It's just repeating endlessly. After 20 minutes or so I tried a few things, plugging it into a PC, holding down the power/volume up/volume down buttons (which makes it go to a black screen while I'm holding them, but then it goes back to looping as soon as I release them), nothing works.

Any suggestions on what I can do or is this a return to the store because it's dead problem?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoClifGo05:
Just try Power + volume down for 10 seconds (simulates a battery pull.) Aside from that if you can get into stock recovery try wiping data and cache and then rebooting. If you can't, take it back.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zimzum57:
Did you ever get it fixed? I had the same issue and eventually found a path to success. Let me know if not and I'll see if I can help!
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PantsDownJedi:
I wouldn't mind if you posted your path to success in case I run into the same problem at some point. My bootloader hasn't been unlocked as of yet. I'm holding out for a ROM that's really, really worth a proper flashing but am scared as hell about the issues people run into.. factory reset loops and failures, bootloader unlock loops now apparently. With the exception of Busybox, which has an uninstaller, I have everything symlinked into my /system directory from a folder in /data and it works great and makes everything easy to keep track of but there's always the doubt of the stray app that put a file there when I granted permission and I didn't know about it.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] champdood:
For my Razr HD, I found that holding volume up and down while the android logo did it's spinning until it ended got me to the recovery menu.. However this hasn't really fixed anything, every time I restart the phone it goes through the same process again and does a hard reset all over again. After a few seconds in the recovery menu it restarts the phone again and goes through a normal load process, but the phone is hard reset every time. It doesn't matter what option I select in the boot menu, it does the same thing (so I don't think it's detecting what option I select at all).

So back to Fido it goes.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] champdood:
Scratch the above post, someone posted a fix on the Fido forums that works perfectly, see thematrix49's post here - fido.ca/t5/forums/forumtopicpage/board-id/Smartphones/thread-id/8805

Took a while to get the volume press to work, it's just a press, not a press and hold. I just kept tapping it over and over until it worked.

You are a king among men. I was stuck on this issue for so so so so long. I was downloading roms and trying to flash them and god knows what else!
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDanLevy:
THANK YOU! You just saved me so much trouble and it was quite the worrisome situation I was in. Sidenote for anyone reading this after June 6, 2013. The link to that Fido forum may be dead but Champdood's instructions are the straight goods! :good:
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FunkmasterC:
Is there a permanent fix for this? I have to go through those fix steps every time I wipe my phone as it continues to go into loop...
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDanLevy:
Me too! I also noticed that the version that re-installed (the one time I did it) wasn't completely stable. It acted super weird adding an icon of one of my apps to the top left position of the screen one swipe over from the main/home screen every time I did a reboot.

At first I didn't even know what was happening only that my Google Now widget (which I usually keep in that space) was disappearing every time I rebooted and an icon was in the top left corner instead. Finally, I realized what was happening. Weirdest part of it all is that if the OS put an icon in there, on a reboot it would remain the same. But if I tried putting an icon there (or widget) on reboot it would be replaced.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junkaholic:
Champdood saved my phone...

I would like to add that the same thing happened to me. I performed a factory reset from Settings > Privacy > Factory Reset and that just sent the phone into an endless loop of red logo > android logo > android logo on back > power off > repeat. Nice job Motorola.

On Motorola help pages it was all about Power button + Down and getting the white menu where you volume down to choose and volume up to select. That would successfully reset the phone but as soon as I powered down and up again: back in the infinite loop.

In desparation, I found this thread. Completely unique to hit the Power Up+Down simultaneous as a press not a hold when see the Android logo, indeed, brought up a blue screen, followed the instructions, successfully reset and so far, have been able to successfully power down and back up again. Will be bookmarking this page.

Thank you so much Champdood! :D

Alternative External Reset Instructions from Motorola themselves...

Hey, as mentioned Champdood's factory reset instructions work fine. Since reading this thread, I realized other's are having the same problem resetting using the menu (Settings > Privacy > Factory Reset), so I initiated a chat with Motorola about this. The person would not respond to my quizzing about the reason for this but did say it was called an Internal Reset and then named Champdood's method the External Reset. He also gave slightly different instructions for accessing the blue menu. I am reproducing both sets of instructions for you all here:

From Motorola Customer Service:

PERFORMING AN INTERNAL RESET:

From the home screen of your phone, touch Menu

Touch System settings

Scroll down and touch Privacy

Touch Factory Data Reset

Scroll down and check Erase internal storage if you would like to erase all the data on the phone internal storage such as applications, music, movies or photos.

Touch Reset Phone

PERFORMING AN EXTERNAL RESET:

WARNING: When using this feature; everything is deleted from the device.

NOTE: Reset will require a minimum battery level of 25%. If you are unable to perform a reset, please charge for 20-30 minutes and try reset again.

With the phone powered off, press the VOL UP + VOL DOWN KEY together + POWER KEY .

The device will display different BOOT OPTIONS

Use the VOL DOWN Key to SCROLL to Recovery and VOL UP Key to SELECT

Tip: If the device reboots, you may have waited to long to make a selection, you will need to begin the process again.

The device will display the Motorola logo and then the Android in distress ( logo with Exclamation mark)

Press and hold the VOL DOWN key for 5-10 seconds

While still holding the VOL DOWN key tap and release the VOL UP key.

The device will display additional menu options (Text will appear in BLUE)

Use the VOL DOWN Key to scroll to Wipe data / factory reset and the POWER Key to SELECT this option.

Use the VOL DOWN key again to select YES - delete all user data and press the POWER key to CONFIRM

Once the Formatting is complete, press the POWER key to confirm a REBOOT

The device will reboot and start the normal power up sequence .

Motorola Razor Issue Fixed

Your Tip really helped me fix my Motorola Razor HD phone.

Created my account only to write a thanks and to comment for the same.

Thanks
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winnower:
Another thanks.

My wife's phone was doing this after a Settings menu factory reset, but the instructions champdood posted worked.

I had to re-re-format the data and cache partitions about four times, but after that it worked!

And somehow root was preserved; SuperSU was missing, but I had root over adb.

Cheers champdood.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] neemot:
Sprint is starting TEP open enrollment for all devices starting March 1, 2013. I am opening this thread:

1. To inform you of this!

And

2. To answer any questions that anyone may have on the TEP program with Sprint.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] JeauxAdam:
Is this better or worse than the plan I have with Best Buy? And the only reason I have it is if I brick my phone. I'm pretty careful and have never physically damaged my phone.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Xiutehcuhtli:
This would be good to know, whether bricks are covered. Also will they cover something if we intentionally open the phone and play with the insides.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jamebarron88:
I prefer TEP because it covers lost/stolen. TEP just replaced my "bricked" phone for free.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Xiutehcuhtli:
how much is the deductible?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] neemot:
$150. Lost stolen, liquid damage and physical damage.

Free. Software (bricked) go to repair center and they will cover everything else.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] dave99:
I just noticed recently that my wells fargo credit card has specific coverage for cell phones, as long as the bill is paid by the card ever month (which mine is, on autopay). I promptly cancelled my $11/mo TEP. 600 bucks coverage per claim, $25 deductible, damage and theft protection. I've never had a phone replaced with TEP, so this coverage makes sense for me.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] RayTrue04:
Don't mind me I'm a Lil lost. So is this sprints own TEP program? Are they dumping Asurion?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bleaktrotter:
Should I change my Asurion coverage? I hate Asurion and I hope I can use TEP from Sprint.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] eyeisdasteve:
TEP is Ausurion.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] genaro12543:
Tep is just the usual insurance from sprint for $11 a month they claims are done through asurion. They send the replacement phone for 150 deductible. Anything else like software issues or defects in the phone are replaced free of charge by sprint when you're paying the $11 a month.

Best buy insurance is $10 a month and covers everything but lost/stolen with a 0 deductible. The drawback is if you need a replacement for software issues they gotta try to fix it first so you're without a phone for awhile.

I'd go with the sprint insurance
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _Epic:
TEP is Sprint's insurance that it sells but uses Asurion for any deductible damage.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] RayTrue04:
I'm still lost. I mean I have tep on all my lines which I know is thru Asurion. But what's the purpose of this thread if it's the same Asurion tep? Was the LGOG not covered by Asurion prior to this open enrollment or something?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] megamaster2:
This means you can get TEP whenever and not in the first 30 dysfunction. I think?

Sent from LG Optimus Prime G :D
[Sprint LG Optimus G] RayTrue04:
Ah Ok that would make perfect sense if your thinking is correct. I thought sprint was gon start their own tep. Was ready to ask what are the benefits lol. Weird tho I just activated my old GS2 a few weeks ago and even though it's used sprint didn't hesitate to add the tep when activating over the phone. My screen could've been tore up for all they've known lol
[Sprint LG Optimus G] neemot:
Sprint Preferred retailers ate ankle to fix physical damage. I work worth these everyday and to replace the screen is not much work. Before you file an insurance claim go to a preferred Retailer they may replace anything for free.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] shook187:
I just sold my new LGOG after shipping and fees for $245 :thumbdown: Paying a $150 deductible and $11 dollars a month for this phone is ridiculous. I suggest you guys pass.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jblazea50:
I agree. I never buy insurance and never needed it. My phones are always in excellent condition, never use screen protectors or cases. I'm just careful with it. I don't like the idea of paying $11/mth plus $150 deductible. I can just get buy a phone from craigslist/ebay for a decent price if need be rather than pay monthly.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] enik_fox:
I prefer squaretrade. Costco sells it now on their phones and its only a $25 deductible

So now you have the free choice to choose your OS did you want stock OS? Do you want GB or ICS Stock? Or you want CM or MIUI there are so many guides here that tell you what you need to do just say what you want.

Besides wouldnt it be nicer to have a OS that not labeled on a Provider?

I would like ics on it
[LG Optimus 2x] Darkmind82:

You should Consider changing the Bootloader to the ICS Bootloader some bugs are resolved in this. and most new ROM´s are build for the new one.

So CM, MIUI or Stock based?

Hi all I am planning on mounting a Nexus 7 in my car and I have been wanting to make it removable. The best way I can think to do this is to use the pogo pins for charging as I wil be using bluetooth for the audio. I was intending to disassemble an official Asus dock for the pogo pins and pcb but i was wondering if i could buy one of the nexus 10 pogo charges cables and remove a couple of the pins and if need be rewire the usb end.

Does anyone have any idea if the pin width is the same and / or thoughts on if this is a good idea?
