[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swent:
Had the same problem with my old galaxy (i9000).

Problem was the dirt in the usb port. You couldn't really see it with your eyes but the pins had no contact anymore.

For a long time I thought it was a software problem, then I carfeully cleaned the port... and so it started working again :)

Just be careful with any fluids you may be using.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] st3chn0:
what kind of fluid can you use to clean it? presumably not water obv :L
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjeMBeY:
Use toothbrush and a bit of alcohol. Make sure your phone is switched off, pull battery out just in case.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efato:
Now just tried the usb otg and it works. But still no charge and data transport. It just gets weird and weird...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Possible poor joint USB port to motherboard .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efato:
So here is the possible problem. As soon as I turn my phone on, right before the media scan it says that the usb connector is connected. So now I understand that there is a possible short circuit right on the connectors or on the motherboard. Any ideas fellas?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjeMBeY:
Did you clean USB port?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efato:
I don't have the equipment to do it. I will take it to my local repair shop. I know some alcohol and a small brush can do it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjeMBeY:
Yeah, even toothbrush and after shave will do ;) DIY, it's easy ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cjt1984:
My wife's s3 did same. Went off to Samsung for repair dodgy USB port.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efato:
OK. Been to the repair shop and they asked 80aud for USB port replacement. Then I went to the local chemist and got pure alcohol for 2aud. A lot of alcohol and a hard toothbrush solved my problem. Thanks for all the advises you guys made me save $78.. Now I have a drunk phone but works beautiful :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjeMBeY:
Bingo! You welcome ;) Simple solution for serious issue. Many people ignoring this precious advice because sounds silly. I've started to work with phones 15yrs ago and during this period of time I've managed to fix hundreds of phones using toothbrush and alcohol only! Bad connection can make your phone unusable but it's just an illusion.... ;)

Odp: Sony Releases Firefox OS (Experimental Rom) For Xperia E

How Sony have to port their JB to their phones? Inception!

Sony have only Xperia, so why you say" Xperia series"? Is there any.other series made by Sony? 2013 line mutt be launched with JB, ICS is too old for 2013 phones. If you want JB faster buy Xperia T or Z. I'm going to buy Xperia S because I found buyer for my P. SXS will get JB in the early April and I'm nit crying.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mat7961:
Dear All,

How to boot karbonn A1+ in recovery mode and restore rom from SD Card?

As my phone is stuck on splas screen.

I want to do hard reset but its not working too..

Also i mailed many times karbonn support desk but they dont care if the customer suffers.

Thanks in advance...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yash.pranjale86:
Try pressing home button + power button

Hit thanks if helped.....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Rittik:
Try volume up+power

Or volume down+power

Try different button combination.

But if you dont have a Custom Recovery usually likr CWM or TWRP..i guess no Restoring data for you.

Take it to Service centre usually indian shops or local shops dont know stuffs they will ship to delhi(idl where u live) it will take max 15days...depemding upon service centres of karbonn..had a bad experience with my friends micromax canvas.

Anyway try what i said

-Rik[Rittik]

Thanks dude for replying but it is not working...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mat7961:
Tried as you said but not working.

Tried as you said but not working.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mat7961:
Answer is 50% correct and 50% wrong.

hey Dude

The Answer is 50% correct and 50% wrong because volume up+power doesn't work and volume down+power works but there is no recovery option.

as the system folder is not working i cant use shell also.

and cant take to service center as i am abroad.

So tell any tool to flash recovery image and which would be working as SP flash tool is useless and also universal android flasher is not working.

Its my challenge to all here in XDA that they cant fix my phone and i know i will have toh throw it.

Thanks in advance and for your reply.

No.

A developer may port FirefoxOS to the Xperia Arc but currently no.

Thanks *Detection* for the screenshots and video (and onkelbebu)

Information:

- The Ubuntu Touch system is currently in developer-preview state, just to give you an idea of how incomplete this is.

- My build sources may be broken; either get along with it or wait for me to fix it.

- No longer am I the sole developer, we now have onkelbebu on board pushing changes and updating.

DEPRECATED - no longer needed as it now autofixes on first boot

Fix for the Screen Density - Copy and Pasted from the Ubuntu Wiki.

Instructions (Run from shell with transfomer connected and on.)

adb shell

ubuntu_chroot shell

vi /usr/bin/ubuntu-session

Find and edit the values for the following entries (there are two entries for each:

GRID_UNIT_PX=10 (as suggested - read below)

QTWEBKIT_DPR=1.2 (looks best to me by trial and error)

SCREEN PIXEL RATIO

We have 2 important variables that define the pixel ratio behaviour of the system and the applications, ie. how they visually scale. Look at /usr/bin/ubuntu-session for GRID_UNIT_PX and QTWEBKIT_DPR. Add another device specific settings there based on your device, using the method below to calculate the desired DPR.

The number of pixels per grid unit (GRID_UNIT_PX) is specific to each device. Its goal is to make the user interface of the system and the applications of the same perceived size regardless of the device they are displayed on. It is primarily dependent on the pixel density of the device’s screen and the distance to the screen the user is at. That second value cannot be automatically detected and is based on heuristics. We assume that tablets and laptops are the same distance and that they are held at 1.235 times the distance phones tend to be held at.

A reference device has been chosen from which we derive the pixels per grid unit for all other devices. The reference device is a laptop with a 120 ppi screen and the pixels per grid unit is set to 8 px/gu.

Asus Transformer Tablet - 1280x800 - 149 ppi - 10 px/gu

There is no way for the system to dynamically identify the correct pixel ratio for the device, which as a side effect things might be bigger/smaller than expected. For each device you will have to visually verify the quality of the result and adjust the number if necessary. If unsure, send screenshots and screen specifications of the device to the Canonical design team.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] josteink:
Definitely curious, appreciate the effort, but when I tested this on my GNex, I decided it wasn't quite a dayly driver thing yet. This base will be nice having once Ubuntu touch matures a bit though.

In the meantime I'll be dogfooding my own CM10.1 :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] *Detection*:
Before I flash this, if I make a Nandroid backup, or want to flash Android again, can I still just boot into recovery, wipe and flash as I would normally ?

Or is there something new I need to do to remove Ubuntu ?

Thanks for working on a port, really excited to see this come to our TF's :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] josteink:
On my GNex, to get back to Android was a simple matter of restoring a Nandroid. I'm assuming it's the same here.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] *Detection*:
Great, thanks - I`ll make a Nandroid and give it a test I think then

EDIT - No boot after about 20-30 minutes
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] blckz28:
Unfortunately same thing for me. Wiped all caches, system and data. At first boot I see the Asus logo and then a blank screen. Let it sit for 10 minutes and still nothing. Will give it another hour just to be sure.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] projeto56:
Try not to wipe system.

Install a cm10.1 based rom, let it boot, then flash both files without wiping, see if it works for you.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] :
now i test it when the download finish ;) good work and i say if something works or not ... thanks ;)

Re: [Linux] [Dev] [WIP] Ubuntu Touch on the TF101 - PrePreAlphaBeta - It Boots!

Since you are providing custom zip packages for our TF101, are you able to set the screen density for our TF101 in the download packages?

Also, I can help host any files.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] *Detection*:
Screen density/rez is not in the Android image, its in the 480MB Canonical image

Does anyone else's screen turn off/ on on closing or opening the tablet from dock? it seems the only way to unlock the screen is via the power button that in my case doesnt work.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] *Detection*:
Yep, 2 seconds I`ll take one, but looks like its just the browser with the problem, in chroot I can apt-get update and it connects to the net fine
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] csb5731:
Same here. Hopefully the second time will be quicker than the first! I might have to see if VI can use wild cards for global replacement, there were so many instances that I had to change.

That said, the interface certainly looked pretty slick. looking forward to see this thing evolve.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jholtom:
Awesome, so that means Wifi is actually fixed. Cool. Now I wonder if the browser is just a demo app or if there is something about it that we need to change or fix.

As I went through it this time, I noticed the entries that were missing their value, now I am thinking they are probably the 4 we only need to edit
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jholtom:
Yeah, just saw that.

Run this:

wget google.com
cat index.html

Tell me what you see there.

You might have multiple entries in your wpa_supplicant for your network so that might be a problem, run this to figure it out:

find. | grep wpa_supplicant.conf
cat {whereever the file is}

If it has two network blocks for your network edit the file, and remove both of them, and reboot, and reconnect.

You can install nano now :)
