[Nokia Lumia 820] famospark:
Hi..i owned a Lumia, but a bit frustrated when network keep switching between 3G and 2G.

i just want to stay only in 3G network..

have anyone test the field test by dialling "##3282"?

in there we can change 3G only.

But i didnt know it worked or not..

so far it doesnt change to 2G..
[Nokia Lumia 820] vkeswani:
I too used the same test by dialing ##3282. In addition you have to toggle the ENS to OFF position (don't reboot).

When you choose 3G only. It exactly what it means, 3G only, not 4G (LTE) and NOT 2G either. So it will only connect to 3G and hence you are not getting 2G signal.

I wish there was a speed limit setting so we could avoid LTE rather than pure 3G only. Or choose 3G+2G together.
[General Questions and Answers] AleHanSolo:
I have a Galaxy S3 running a custom ROM (WICKED), In the past I have been using the tweaked stock kernel with ondemand the the CPU would sleep at appropriate times. I updated to the newer version of the ROM and for some odd reason setting the governor to ondemand on the tweaked stock kernel would keep the CPU awake at all times. The only change I made was that I added a screen off profile set to ondemand with lower than full max clock speed. Luckily the ROM came with a another kernel option (Deviant kernel, OC'able), however several governors such as ondemand, conservative and intellidemand has the same issue; my CPU was an insomniac. Finally I tried using the interactive governor with the custom kernel and the CPU now sleeps as it should within a few moments after the screen turns off.

tl:dr: this issue seems to be less of one pertinent to my phone and more so a misunderstanding on my part how governors decide when to sleep the CPU. Why wasn't my CPU sleeping? Which governors are appropriate for a screen off profile?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ripbabey:
So I'm preparing to do n4 conversion. However, as I'm making sure everything is ready to go I noticed the only way I can get into recovery is through an app called quick boot, is there something special in the boot loader to get to recovery ? I see no selectable options.

When in boot loader, fast boot is in red , but I can not pull up fastboot devices , when I try to do fastboot reboot, it just sits and stays at waiting for device. Under device manager it says android with a yellow exclamation point when in boot loader.

Lgnpst notices my phone both in download mode and when on, but not in boot loader. I just want to make sure I'm completely set before I do this. Please help!

Anyone have any insights?

Its not about what you know , but who you know.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ripbabey:
Figured it out with help from kaerey on irc. Had to go into drivers and search manually for the driver.

1: get into boot loader

2. Open device manager

3. Click on android with yellow !

4. Select update driver

5. Search manually

6. Select android devices

7. Select Google under manufacturers

8. Select fast boot

9. Install and enjoy having fast boot again

To access recovery in boot loader:

1. Vol + twice

2. Power button

3. Your in recovery :)

Thanks again to kaerey from IRC

Its not about what you know , but who you know.

I bought my Sony Tablet S from Singapore 1 year back. Now I am in India and I tried updating the device through the system update in setting and every time it downloaded the full package and ended with an Error Code:5 update failed.

Now I thought to going to do it offline by flash Rom. I already rooted my device and changed the region to India using "SonyTablet.S [ALLinONE] v5.3"

After downloading the actually update from the sony info site "signed-nbx03_026-ota-121116082" i copied to the SD card

During the installation of the file through "install from SD card" command, the updates are getting failed with an error

i couldn't find it in the kernel list.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WardenBerret:
I recommend checking for the more popular kernels, like Siyah, PhilZ or Dorimanx, they have good kernels and some with regular updates to fit the latest firmwares. Of course there are plenty of other kernels but these are which i can recommend.

Try other kernels if you want, but do it at own risk.

Hey Guys,

I've searched a lot on the internet, but i haven't managed (god knows why) to find the perfect guide to unroot my Samsung Galaxy SII.

My SGSII seems to get really slow, and many apps wants to troubleshoot.

I want to get back to stock. Right now i use the Nova Launcher Prime - but i don't want to do that, i also visually wants to get back to stock.

How do i do this exactly?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nuppi:
I have rooted/unrooted like instructed here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746794

First post.

Factory reset is recommended.

PRESS AND HOLD VOLUME UP + Home Button

Keep pressing these 2 buttons + press Power button for 2-3 Seconds

Release only power button, but KEEP pressing Volume up + Home Buttons

With Volume down select wipe data/factory reset (3rd) > Press Power

This wipes everything from your phone!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K0wneD:
1) Go to www.sammobile.com and download the stock firmware for your phone in the "firmware and files" section.

2) Open odin and flash the downloaded firmware

3) you're on stock and unrooted.

Thank me if i helped you :)

Me too

Please neglect this post; I discovered that the above two replies were already posted while I was editing this one :) I'm such a slow editor :)

I'm also looking for a way to do this (I'm not an expert, I'm just like you looking for this also); as I need to make sure that I would get back to stock ROM before rooting my device.

What I've reached is that:

1. You need to get the stock ROM first, I think this link would help you and me, also you can google how to get it.

2. After flashing the ROM you need to unroot the device if you wish (Recommended)
​

As I said, I'm not an expert, I might be wrong, but that's what I have concluded about this mission. So, I'm waiting for an expert reply...

Good luck.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android2013_:
Hi all,

I bought a Proscan PTL7035-PL (preloaded with Android ICS 4.04) last Christmas. I rooted with a great success and have it running a full-fledged Google Play store. The only drawback is that all apps go to the internal sd which has only 2gb of storage space. I tried a couple of ways swapping the internal and external sds. None of them has worked. Then I followed one from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1991583. Basically by modifying the mount point of the internal flash and external sd as described in the file vold.fstab , the hope was to make the system use the big sd storage for apps and data storage etc.

Here is where my nightmare began. After reboot, my tablet stuck at the android logo and the booting never finished. I kind of know that my mounting points messed things up. The fix can be as easy as just restore the backup copy of vold.fstab which I have on the tablet. The problems are that:

1) There is no way to access the system folder of the android device now as the device itself cannot finish booting; and it can't communicate with a PC via USB.

2) Even if I can force it boot into the Android System Recovery 3e, it is not much a help as it needs a certified ROM or backup copy to recover. The official ROM is not out yet and I don't have a backup copy.

It looks like my device has been soft bricked. So how to pull it out?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] golfcartguy:
Anyone ever solve this?

Long story short, similar issue. Has Rooted my 9 year olds Tablet, (Same as Op), and actually had it running great. Well, I was installing Gapps, via root explorer, and my Son was talking, and I forgot to Mount the System Folder that I was Replacing with the gapps one, R/W - it stayed R/O and never got replaced.

Thus the other 2 folders I changed to R/W are stuck that way. I think it was the entire Root Folder, and One more. I can elaborate.

Is there a way to fix this, as the tablet will not boot properly. (Hangs on Splash Screen), then if I attempt recovery, it gets stuck at the Android with the Red Triangle coming out of his belly, but no Menu Choices.

Anyone?
[Android General] megagodx:
Does anyone else think that the new-generation Exynos SoC will support 802.11ac and LTE-A? Or playing back 1080p video at 60 fps and 2k quality at 30 fps? These are features which were never really discussed about the chipset itself.

The Snapdragon 800 was confirmed to have compatibility and capability of all of the aforementioned. It sounds as if the Snapdragon 800 series will be the superior chipset, while the Exynos Octa will likely provide better power efficiency in some regard. It would be pretty disappointing if the Galaxy S IV got stuck with a Snapdragon 600 processor, given the date it's likely going to be pushed out on. It might make me consider the Note this time around.
[Android General] abdane:
i really hope all these rumors are fake, samsung should use Exynos on there flagship Galaxy S line ! if not the octa, maybe the Exynos 5 Quad Core 1.8-2.0GHz !
[Android General] megagodx:
All the Snapdragon 600 happens to be is a mid-tear SoC, which improves upon the same GPU and performance of the S4 Pro. Real A15 architectures should blow this chipset out of the water. People seem to think that what they see now is good. But when the Snapdragon 800 and other A15-based chips start making their debut, this will feel dated quickly in the coming months.
[Android General] NixZero:
clock-per-clock a15 is just 15% faster than krait, dont think that there's so much differences between the two.

they are both really solid performers and the batle is all on the maximum clock/power required rateo.
[Android General] megagodx:
The SD800 will also feature Quick Charge 2.0, which is supposed to charge your battery 75% faster than other SoC chipsets without that same function. SD600 doesn't feature that either. I'm pretty sure if you seen the initial Tegra 4 benchmarks (based off of real A15 architecture) - they wipe the floor with the HTC One's SD600. Being 75% increased in performance over the Snapdragon S4 Pro (last year's best mobile SoC), the SD800 should bring comparatively the same or better results than the T4 mentioned. That's kind of going to be a disappointment if the S IV ends up with a SD600 and no Exynos 5 Quad/Octa, at least.

She has a problem with the lock screen. Sometimes it will try to display in horizontal mode when the phone is being held in portrait orientation. This causes the lock screen pattern to be cut off.

I have never had this happen on my phone but she had to get her phone replaced (different reason) and it did it on both phones. She has to restart her phone to be able to unlock it.

Check her rotation settings, smart rotation and all. Im sure u already did that and it made no difference but its always the first thing to do.

From my experience whenever thst happens its because of excessive background apps are open killing the processor. Does she kill apps at all? Restarts the phone from time to time? Tell her to kill apps instead of backing out, hold the home button and the right buttin should kill the background apps and thr left bitton will take u to the ram and frees that up by clicking another button.

You can also download advanced mobile care on the phones and it has an option to kill apps when the screen wakes up, slight delay before input, bit it kills background and app processes. Good luck and report bavk

If I extract bootloader-grouper-4.18.img from the 4.2.2 Factory Image & flash it to my Nexus 7, will that work?

Will it leave my current installation of ParanoidAndroid as is & be able to boot it? Or will it cause some sort of problem?
