[LG Optimus 3D] Master619:
I've read this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1678055 and tried but after erasing recovery my phone will only boot to the gray LG logo with "fastboot v0.5"

If I fastboot it to flash another recovery (CWM or TWRP) my phone will only boot to recovery no matter what I tried.

Tried the zip file from here http://androidforums.com/esteem-all...ockworkmod-recovery-bootloop.html#post3767889 but still can't boot normally.

Tried flashing different roms while in both recoveries (acura, paranoid android,...), even restore my old ROM backups, but still it boots into recovery.

My 3D and vol+/- buttons seems ok.

Any help?
[LG Optimus 3D] GlossGhost:
Just go back to V21E from the res

urrection guide and flash your desired ROM if you are going for CM10.

Then flash the bootloader without flashing the recovery, you already have one and to reboot to it I recommend downloading ROM Manager after installing CM10 and rebooting into recovery with it.

Earlier today I tried flashing a JB ROM after doing a complete wipe/reset of my ST15i.Data,system,cache wiped.

After getting an error 7 I restored my previous ROM using TWRP but weird thing happened.

All my apps on SD don't work.

No icons in launcher,nothing.

I can see them however in the Downloaded section of the system storage menu.I cannot either run or move them back to phone.I get a message that apps don't exist.

What's happening here?

What can I do?

Restoring another TWRP backup same thing happens.

Fixing permissions didn't help.

AW: Restoring ROM went wrong?

I've noticed that, too and it's such a f**king problem. TWRP doesn't backup .android_secure (the apps on your sdcard) and when you did the wipe data/factory reset you've wiped that data :(

I guess there's no way to get your data back, if there is, please tell me (and OP of course). I was lucky because I had a titanium backup from these apps and I could simply restore it ;)

Re: Restoring ROM went wrong?

Try cwm backup and restore option i use that only and cwm is more reliable then twrp
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] BlackArtsInc:
Re: Restoring ROM went wrong?

I can also confirm this by comparing backed up ROM sizes between TWRP 2.3.3.0 and CWM 6.xx recoveries.

I think twrp is supposed to back up .android.secure. Try hitting the sd-ext radio button under back up and see what happens.

Okay, I am having trouble with only ONE of my contacts not playing a sound when I receive a text from him. Everyone else it goes through, but it's driving me crazy that his texts don't play a sound. I've tried looking through his contact information to see if there was anything in there, tried making a new contact file for him, checked my notification settings, but I can't figure it out. My sound plays for every other person in my phonebook.

This problem is also not phone specific. I had this problem on my Amaze, but bought the N4 last week, and it doesn't play the sound for this contact either.

Has anyone ever come across this? I can't stand it!
[Android Apps and Games] nazklenknani:
Hi,

I was not satisfied with how Android system auto-brightness work. It just don't allow me, nor us to setup maximum screen brightness level for auto-brightness just like iOS did. This problem is really bugging me about my Nexus S battery usage which is bad because of screen is just too bright while i just need maybe just half of it since i spend most of days indoor.

Then i started to learn Android development (this is my first Android app) and here is my simple app to configure my Nexus S auto-brightness. Currently app feature are:

Save battery! Service implementation is really battery friendly (not even shown on Android battery stats)

Custom maximum screen brightness level (in %) (require modify system settings permission)

Custom screen brightness threshold to apply new brightness level (in %)

Allow to use smooth screen brightness level transition

Custom ambiance level pool interval (in seconds). But when screen is awake, brightness level is calculated as soon as possible

Auto-start service on boot completed (require run at startup permission)

Auto-start service when destroyed by Android OS because of system low memory

Display live current screen brightness level (in %)

Display live current light sensor levels (in lx)

FREE! :D

Screenshots

Known issues:

On my Nexus S (CyanogenMod 10.1 nightly) maximum light sensor value is 3.6 million (wow!). Each device could provide different sensor value and steps. Example, Nexus 4 Stock would provide 10.000 for maximum sensor value.

Currently using this and this as calculation method

Because of above issues, i still looking for best implementation to normalize light sensor values. Maybe anyone can help about this?

Download and try it from here

UPDATE

20120212 - Check if device has any Light Sensors
[Android Apps and Games] kino1122:
Hey! I like the idea of your app. However, I haven't found the issue of auto brightness being set at too high of a maximum value in my usage. What I have found is that auto brightness does not kick it down enough when in low light/dark situations. Are you planning on adding the feature of setting a minimum screen brightness level as well?
[Android Apps and Games] oldsap:
crashed when i start the service on my xperia active ics
[Android Apps and Games] nazklenknani:
Hi, sorry for my bad english, the issue is not the screen auto brightness being too high above Android maximum brightness setting (on manual brightness). But, its the same as the problem you described below

To tackle this problem, auto brightness setting is mimicking how iOS implementing its auto-brightness.

By configuring maximum brightness allowed to certain amount (by %). For example, in dim indoors (light sensor lux values ranging from 201 to 400), the default Android auto-brightness will be 30% to 40% (based on this formula, which is log10(lux)/5), then in this app, I configure maximum brightness to 50%, then screen brightness will be 50% of this Android default 30%-40%, which is 15% to 20%. Exactly how iOS device did with its screen auto-brightness.

About minimum screen brightness, it always will be 0%-3%. Android system use 0 to 255 brightness value. By configuring maximum brightness to 50% (it will be 127), then your device screen brightness will be half lower than standard Android auto-brightness. Since the most battery draining items is screen, by cutting its brightness to half or more, i think it will be longer my battery cycle, as i posted above.

Oops sorry for that, i did not test it on other device than my Nexus S with CM 10.1 yet, would you send me your logcat? This link will show you how to get logcat
[Android Apps and Games] nazklenknani:
i just updated apk with light sensor checking. i suspect Android could not find any light sensor on your device.

the service was trying to start, check if there is no any light sensor, since it found no light sensor, service is not registering screen on/off broadcast. then when service stopped, service try to un-register a never registered screen on/off broadcast resulting a Force Close/crash.

please try to update it. thanks

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zein_syria:
greetings ,

i have an Xperia s phone with the firmware 6.1.A.2.50 rooted with root many droids (bin4ry)

software update in my phone showed that there is new update available...

i downloaded the new update...but it always fails to update..

is it cuz it's rooted??

should I unroot my device so that i can update...???

im a bit confused :silly:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] auni:
You can flash stock 6.1.A.2.50 again and then try to update, it should work then. Rooting actually doesn't affect update via PCC or SUS, as far as i know.

But yes if the bootloader is unlocked then you won't be able to update as well. So your device bootloader unlocked or locked?

One more thing you should remember the new update 0.55 is not easily rootable. The method which worked for 0.50 and 0.45 won't work on 0.55

Lastly the new update 0.55 doesn't bring anything special. I tried and then went back to 0.50 again. Still it's your call.

Funny thoug, that Sony claim to be open for external development and for eg. XDA, and at the same time Sony make an effort to secure that you can't root every time they release new firmware...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zein_syria:
:good: thanks guys,im a newbie here..i dunno the answer your question...

i bought the new device and all i did is rooted via Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18...i dunno if it unlocks the bootlloader...

i rooted my device though it wasn't useful to me rather than before rooting cuz i dunno how to use the maximum before rooting..:confused:

i heard that the firmware is better for the RAM and i have a wireless problem (it freezes n dysfunction)..

thanks a lot again auni

anyway i fixed it ma self....just used the stupid pc companion and it worked though it took some time to download the update..

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cfi on the fly:
Hi all...

I have a Note 2 that is giving me some difficulty with video. I am playing back blu ray rips dirrectly made from makemkv. These MKV files play back perfectly smooth on my S3 using bsplayer, but when I am using the same micro sd card with the same mkv file in my note 2 I see what appears to be slight stuttering. About every 5 seconds or so the screen gets just a bit fuzzy for just a milisecond.

My understanding is that the note2 has a faster processor and should be at least as capable as the s3 with regards to playing back video. Again, I am using the same app player, same sd card, and same file and there is not stutter on the S2 but there is with the Note2.

Any suggestions? Maybe a faulty phone...

Edit. Both note2 and s3 are stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] purged363506:
Have you checked to see how much free memory is available on both devices before the video is played?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cfi on the fly:
Yes, I have cleared memory on both S3 and Note2 and they both show about 500-600 MB being used. I have uninstalled, and then reinstalled BSplayer on both. The S3 plays 1080p mkv files flawlessly using the hardware decode option, and the Note2 stutters doing the same. I can get the Note 2 to play the video smoothly using the Software decode option, but the color tint constantly changes within scenes of a movie.

I downloaded Quadrant standard app to see how well the phone is performing. My Note2 is getting a score of around 6,100-which seems typical for a stock version. The S3 is getting around 5,800.

Doesnt make sence to me why the Note2 is struggling to play video and the S3 is not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cfi on the fly:
different phone, same result

I went and switched the Note2 for another one at Verizon. The new one displays the exact same behaviour, so it must be something with the Note 2.

Cant believe that my S3 is able to play 1080p mkv rips (no conversion using makemkv.) with no problem, yet the Note2 cannot. Also did some benchmarking specifically targeting the gpu. The S3 beats the Note2 in most of them....Go figure!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nosympathy:
I haven't had any stutter playing them with mxplayer. Plays identical to how they play on my GSIII. 1080P.mkvs that is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] derichio02:
I use mxplayer flawlessly as well. Not all apps are created equal. Some support more processors and phones better

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ungovernable1977:
So the lady decided to leave her gnex on the roof of her car before leaving work, fell off on the freeway end of an on ramp... almost guaranteed it got ran over at least once before she could double back from the next exit. Obviously the amazing gorilla glass didnt stand up, but the supposedly 'flimsy' plastic housing held up like a champ! Phone still boots, enough at least to dump the SD to my PC. but I figured I would leave this here for those who questioned the build quality (heard this crap about samsungs for a few phones now, obviously unfounded. It APPEARS I could actually replace the digitizer/glass for about 150... but as I dumped vzw for my N4 on prepaid and she is getting something prepaid soon, it may end up a mass storage device... check the pic

OK... if someone wants to enlighten me how to upload pix... i would appreciate it... NVM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rand4ll:
The galaxy nexus doesn't have gorilla glass, though it probably wouldn't have faired any better if it did. Cool that it still boots though! Got any pics of the plastic side?

Personally I like the plastic build. Keeps it light weight and doesn't get all cracked and dented when I drop it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ungovernable1977:
wow just actually googled it... didnt realise it wasnt gorilla! Bought it in a hurry and didnt research, not that VZW had any other phone i wanted at the time, just assumed Sammy used it. Anyways, just looked over the plastic, looks unscathed... I have dropped mine many times and over almost a year only got a couple small scratches on the plastic surround. Now I am just babying my N4 (even though I didnt destroy this GNex)... the glass back is worrying, but thats for another forum. Anyways, just thought Id share what I thought to be the worst unintentional shattering on a sammy phone ive seen... and yeah, I totally think the 'give' in Sammy plastic build is intentional, if not just a happy coincidence it has probly saved me a small fortune.

thanks, pretty sure the screen is toast, doesnt display any picture, doesnt respond to any 'touch' input... I could probly do it, made my first projector out of an LCD panel, I guess ill see how my VZW account pans out, already put in to have my number ported to GVoice... can they mark the phone bad ESN or whatever on VZW? I dont see how I could pay an etf, but I had to switch out, the 3g to 4g handoff made for horrible service, and the price was ridiculous... I just got overzealous to get out of Sprint for the same reason... anyways Ill talk to VZ and see what they can do... dont expect much from anyone at a company that partners with comcast after selling our FIOS to the beverly hillbillies.
