First off, I am a brand new member to the xda community, however I have been lurking in the shadows for years and have rooted every android device I have owned using the excellent guides and troubleshooting posts from this site. A big thanks to everyone who contributes.

I have finally ran into a problem that I cannot solve using the forums:

My A500 will not power on. The power LED will turn on, but there is no vibration and the screen does nothing. I believe this means I am in apx mode. However, my device is not recognized by my PC (or any of them.)

Other, maybe pertinent information:

I do have my CPUID.

I am rooted and running: RE-FLEXxx-ShellShock_Rev2.6.1b-Aroma-Public (Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0+)

Last thing I was doing was using Gallery to view photos, I turned off the scree, but did not power down. My battery was fully charged.

I appreciate any thoughts. Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] OKAstro:
Not meant to be simplistic, but on occasion with some ROM's, I have had to hold the power button for like 10 sec, release and repeat and it will start up. I am running Civato's JB ROM now and have had zero/nada/zilch problems.

You could also try powering on with the reset button. I think you hold the power button while inserting a pin head into the reset hole. Not sure if this wipes data, so be careful.

Last resort, hard reset...search this forum or google hard reset of a500. This does wipe data

Goof luck
[Acer Iconia A500] uiryan:
Thanks OKAstro. I've tried all-of-the-above, still nothing. I am most confused about why I cannot get any PC to recognize me device. Any other thoughts out there, or do I have a bricked device?
[Acer Iconia A500] uiryan:
Problem Solved

On the off chance someone else finds themselves in this position, here was my solution. I popped the cover off and noticed some corrosion at the USB pins. I cleaned off the corrosion and powered up the tablet. I was not stuck in APX mode. Not sure what the USB pins had to do with powering up, but everything works just fine now.
[Acer Iconia A500] OKAstro:
Now that's interesting. Glad you got it fixed. If you would like to try the ROM I've mentioned, here's the link. But first install one of the recoveries he lists in the OP

Android 4.2.1

CyanogenMod 10.1 Snapshot M1 (21/1/13)

Franco Kernel R364

I'm trying to maximize my battery time.

(Power mode BeastlyBattery 192MHz~1036MHz, Governor: Lazy, IO Scheduler: deadline, Screen of Max Frew: 384MHz)

I want to UV my CPU (and maybe IVA and GPU also, does it helps too?) to save some battery.

Should I just decrease the voltage a bit, use stability test app and keep going till there will be errors,

or I can just decrease like someone else on the web and then keep going..?

Can it do something to the device? (because Its just undervoltage..)

For how long I need to run the stability test?

I saw this topic:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1599025

and he says:

"1. It has been tested that the 700Mhz frequency is prefereable over the 300Mhz one, due to the drops on frequency signal of the phone."

Anyone tested this?

Does UV degrades preformance?

What is SmartFlex?

Anything else I need to know about that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iLeopard:
Im gonna make this one quick, so my apologies if I don't address your questions directly.

Prior to my Galaxy Nexus, I had a T-Mobile SGSII. I too had the belief that undervolting/clocking would improve my battery life substantially. It seemed to work but then I was only getting the results that I wanted to get, and thats because I went to extremes to lowering my screen brightness to minimum and using my phone a fraction of what I used to.

With the help of others and trial and error, my major conclusion is that undervolting/clocking, though normal headset use will not improve your battery life by a landslide. Android is so well optimized to save you as much battery as it can. Sure there are things here in there that interrupt that optimization such as bugs or kernel issues but that something even undervolting/clocking will not be able to solve.

If you do go into undervolting/clocking your device, please keep in mind that the most you will probably get out of it is maybe 45 minutes to 1hr extension, but thats not display time.

What you can do to improve your battery life is turn off whatever sync services you don't use, lower your screen brightness ( the display is the major battery hog in the GN and SAMOLED devices), use dark wallpapers and dark themes if apps support it, use wifi, disable 3G when not in use. The radio you use can also potentially affect your battery life and signal quality.

Those are just a few suggestions, the rest is up to you.

Good luck!

P.S. Kernels also add variation to the longevity of your battery life. It's been a very long time since I touched CM10 so I'm not gonna go and defame that ROM but do try something else that possibly offers better battery life. If MODs are a MUST for you, then you will be faced with a lower battery life compared to stock based ROM's. It won't be an extreme difference but the difference will be there. If I may suggest a ROM, try this one. I can honestly say I can get up to 3-4 hours of display time on it with about a 12 hour standby.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ToMeRv32:
I read a lot on the web that it does help to battery time.. :S
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ToMeRv32:
anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
You're not going to see much difference. Running the cpu at a lower clock speed just means it will take longer to complete the same operation so you'll use just as much battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ToMeRv32:
And undervoltage?

Different overnor?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
Undervolting will have minimal effect during actual use and a governor is based on specific user needs. One might save me battery while another works better for your usage. You need to actually mess with setting instead of just asking others what they use.

Currently running the latest GB08 deox with td's all in one mod. That being said my issue is a jb Samsung issue. The lack of mass file transfer.

Hey guys,

my phone just informed me that i could update to 4.2.2 but i am/was running a rooted n4 with stock rom and franco kernel. Franco posted how to properly upgrade to 4.2.2 (flash stock kernel, remove power.xxxx.so (cant remember the name atm)and rename power.xxxx.so.fbak, then reboot and flash zip) but it didnt work for me. i flashed stock kernel and removed the power file + renamed the backup power file but when i try to flash the update.zip im getting an error that looks like this:

assert failed apply_patch_check( /system/lib/hw/power.default.so

Error in /sdcard/update.zip (the .zip i downloaded right from google servers) (status 7)

what could the reason be? id appreciate any help!

and yes....i did look up the other threads that had similar problems but that didnt fix it.

thanks in advance!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meangreenie:
Your "/system/lib/hw/power.xxxxx" file didn't pass the check.

I

guess

the original one was overwritten with a custom one before being renamed, by a different kernel install.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick2knife:
well i did exactly what was stated in the guide:

1. Download stock kernel from here:

xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2024982

2. Flash it in recovery.

3. Boot into android.

4. Go from root explorer to system/lib/hw and

i) Delete power.msm8960.so

ii) Remove .fkbak extension from power.msm8960.so.fkbak so it looks like, power.msm8960.so

iii) Fix the permissions to rw-r--r--

5. Reboot

i even tried it with the .so file from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2147427

I am going nuts here I have been searching all over the net and I still have not been able to fix this problem, so I am sorry if this seems like a repeated thread.

I have a Tmobile rooted Samsung Galaxy S III, I was running a nightly Cyanogenmod 10 ROM. Yesterday there was an update for that rom and I downloaded it and installed it, everything was fine and running smoothly until some people started telling me that they were not able to reach me by phone. I tried checking what was wrong and I finally realized that whenever I have my mobile data on or while I am using it I don't receive voice calls. I tried looking everywhere for a way to fix this and I came across the ##DATA# code in which I could turn off the DDTM option but unfortunately my phone doesn't recognize that code.

this is the message I get every time I try to enter ##3282# code.

I thought that maybe something was wrong with the ROM itself so i decided to browse around here for one for my Tmobile samsung galaxy S 3 and I decided to install this one [ROM][4.2.2][RC1] LiquidSmooth ROMs - d2tmo - 2|14|13

after wiping data/cache and dalvik cache I installed this ROM and this is my current phone info

and still when I am using my mobile data I cant receive calls nor put the ##DATA# code to turn off DDTM.

is there any other way I could access that DDTM option? I am so frustrated or maybe I am doing something wrong.. I do admit I am no pro at this.

Another thing I realized is that even tho I did the factory reset, wipe dalvik cache and data cache on recovery mode my phone still says it only has 4gb free on its internal memory, isn't it supposed to be completely free after wiping all that stuff?

Please if any of you could help me I will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Since upgrading to 4.2.2, I have not had chrome freeze or the n10 reboot. That's wonderful!!!

I have Battery Monitor Widget Pro running with an alarm set if the battery hits 95d f. Since 4.2.2 I had the alarm go off while charging with the pogo cable and running daydream 'colors' (first time trying daydreams) and again when a 30 minute youtube video playing through hdmi (no charger). The temp went up in less than 5 minutes after the video/animation started. Felt extremely hot around the camera. Never had that happen before, only time the temp went up was after 30 minutes of a graphical game play.

Battery temp is usually around 82, almost never above 90f and certainly not in 5-10 minutes. Gonna keep an eye on it, but it is a new problem for me and related to the video.

I'm glad 4.2.2 has fixed many of the soft reboot/crashes and things like that but I still feel that the nexus 10 isn't as snappy as it should be.

IMO the nexus 4 on stock feels much smoother.

Reboots and crashes are gone it seems. Chrome would crash every time I opened it, now it is rock solid. I would also have random reboots at least twice a day. 0 since the update. Bootlog Uptime says 4 days 4 hours.

I still have issues with Wi-Fi though. My University has multiple AP's with the same SSID, and my N10 has issues finding and staying connected to the strongest signal. It will stay connected for maybe 5 minutes, then the Wi-Fi looks like it resets or something. I tried a logcat dump and nothing notable shows anything.

Video playback

Hi,

I have flashed the 4.2.2 stock rom and there are some issues, which are not fixed, and some which seem to be new.

- I had one freeze when the tablet was on standby. Only a reboot fixed it and my battery level was about 10% lower as before. Ok, this might be an app, which is misbehaving, I'll monitor it.

- Then I had the first time this time bug, where the time shown is some minutes off sync.

- The worst thing is, that 4.2.2. seems to have broken the video playback in some apps. Playback is stuttering and some frames are dropped. For example in the watchever app, which worked fine in 4.2.1

Google Movies does not seem to be affected.

Anyone else noticing the video playback issue?

Regards,

Goldstein
[Nexus 10 General] avdaga:
My brother had the same issue on his Galaxy Tab some time ago... He was running some Cyanogen alpha though and flashing to a newer version resolved the issue. You could investigate whether a fresh flash resolves your issues...

OnTopic: Did not notice much improvement in 4.2.2 (CM10.1) as the device was running without any problems and there was not really something to improve... However benchmarks scores did go up - Antutu went up from ~13500 to ~16500 and Quadrant from 4800 to 4950.

After adb side loading 4.2.2, with no wipe and root, I'm happy.

No more freeze and reboot (they were quite rare in my experience and not related to a specific scenario).

Lol oh I forgot to mention that the T-Mobile store was able to give me a loner phone in the meantime while i wait for the new nexus, the loner phone is a flip phone piece of crap Lol
