Hi,

My Samsung S-II won't connect with Kies after updation to JB 4.1.2. One kind member pointed out that, unless the CSC is region specific, KIES won't recognise the handset.

Any pointers towards India specific CSC for JB XWLSD 4.1.2?

Thanks for your kind help

How can i mark them all, delete them and add them once?

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ling_1118:
My nook was idle for a day or two, as I remember I hv shut it off.

But then yesterday I try to charged it, the light was green then turn to red, n then it went off, usually the nook would turn on right after I plug the charger. So I didn't notice it until today, and I tried to turn it on by pressing the power button, and the N button together as well, both didn't work.

It seems that I can't charge it or turn it on. Everytime I tried to re-plug it to power or press power button while its connected, the light went on in green to red then off again. :(
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datas0ft:
Connect your charger. Let it stay on charger 20 min. Then try push n button. If this not bring screen on then try push power button for 5 sec. Again if not then try power and n button combination.

Hope this helps.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ling_1118:
Thx! Turns out tht external charger didn't work.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datas0ft:
I think that last opinion is make CWM sd card (without CM10) and insert it do device, then try to switch the device on (with charger trick or power button). If you then get it live all is ok. If not then last change is wait when battery goes empty and charger wakes it up.

Actually i predict that item is itself faulty and you must return it for change (maybe not faulty at hardware side, only OMAP inside code got corrupt).
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ling_1118:
I don't know, that might because I rooted my device, and I did sth wrong. Sometimes it would reboot itself, since my cmw card was inserted, it would load tht root page so I found out. But I live in Asia so returning the device might be too costly, probably won't do it. :(
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
It could be several things. The most likely is it was trying to update itself and could not because the CWM card was there. I don't think your device is defective.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datas0ft:
Now i can say same. With first information things was other.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevethegreat:
...It's more or less a known bug to those of us who use CM10 (even to some who use stock), the battery simply often can't tell how much she has left. So she may fluctuate from 1% to 26% to 0% a moment later . In one such moment my Nook HD+ shut down (went from 26% to 0%). So I put it up for charging thinking (naively) that it would boot up ... it didn't, now all I get is a charging icon that never goes away (orange led remains lit). What's more I *know* it has some charge (the "26%" was the right value) and I know the battery works, so what prevents it from starting is the "battery charge sensor".

It's a pretty silly way to lose your (my) tablet over. Even more so given how much I grew attached to it for my workflow. So what's next? Is there a secret way to convince it to boot. As I said both the hardware and its software is in top condition. I guess an alternative would be to ship it back for replacement but I'm afraid that I've lost my receipt and -as I said- it's a silly way to lose your tablet over, there *has* to be a (fast) way out...

BTW when connected to my PC my device manager briefly shows an "Omap 4470" unknown device (with an exlamation mark) which goes away few secs later, so I cannot attain ADB control over my devices either (sadly)....
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
If you are running CM10 or 10.1, there is an easy way to connect with ADB. Do it wirelesly over wifi. That is built into CM. Just enable it in the developer options. No need to mess with the USB cable and windows drivers. You can do the same thing with rooted stock by installing an app called ADBWireless.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevethegreat:
At the time that could not happen , since (as I had implied) my nook was not booting to begin with...

Anyhow, what I did was to leave it for three solid hours on the charger, and after that period of time it booted on its own wiithout warning. It's the first that such behavior was/is ever present to my nook and it's deeply worrying. A battery fix for the CM kernel couldn't come any sooner; now, if only verygreen was around :(
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbh369:
There's a few ideas on a couple of other threads including putting it in the fridge, etc. Question, if you plug it in, does the charging light come on? Does it come on after pushing the power button or the N button? If so, take your SD out, leave it charging overnight and try again. It often reboots when in this state and if there's an update problem, that could be the issue. Also, it is sometimes erratic on when and how it charges, be careful with the connections.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevethegreat:
As I said it came up on its own, without warning after leaving it for 3 hours on the charger...

As for your question, the led (charging light) was on all the time but it would only show me that it had no battery (couldn't charge even though it was ... charging?)

Maybe the fridge makes sense in those situations, as it was indeed into a (relatively) hot environment and maybe it couldn't charge as a safety against overheating and since (at the same time) it also thought it had 0 battery. But what I can't understand is why needed 3 hours before starting to charge up, it was already cool enough long before ... strange things are/were happening with my battery all along and I worry...
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbh369:
Yep, I've noticed the same thing a few times. It no longer panicks me. When it doesn't turn on, I take out the SD, plug it in, wiggle the connector a few times, and let it alone. So far, it has always eventually rebooted, often as you say on its own. Quirky, but not fatal at least. One poor guy on here never did get his to turn on, but the key was the charging light,his didn't come on.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Medizinmann:
Need help cannot turn on Nook HD+ at all

Hi!

I cannot turn it on at all and it won't reboot.

It went out some point I didn't watch it. When I connected it to the charger the LED next to the connector starts blinking amber and green for a few seconds and then stays blinking red and makes a high pitched noise.

The only reaction I get is when I press power on an volume down after some time - it display turns on an shows a charging sign - but it never really seems to fully charge. I left it on the charger over night - still the same. Once the display blinked and showed “nook” but went out immediately after a few milliseconds.

Might it be some kind of bootloop!?!?

What combination to press to make a reset?

Thanks in advance for any help

Hi There,

I've just a question :) I've just order the newxperia yesterday and I normally receive during next weeks ( I'm from belgium) but a question come through my mind. What the use of rooting the phone? Ok I'll have Admin right but i'll lost my warranty no?

AW: Rooting of Xperia Z

http://www.google.de/search?hl=en&c...5DDswaDxoDwDw&ved=0CC0QvwUoAA&biw=384&bih=571

You could have found lots of articles ;)

You 'are admin' gives for example apps the chance to enhance their functions. So you can use (ad-)filters, firewalls, backup tools and enhanced system control stuff.

I heard something about that unlocking the boot loader (that's the part where you may lose warranty) won't let your warranty go...not sure about the status right now.

But you should be able to lock and un-root your device for the case you need the warranty for eg. Repairing.

Greets,

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schaggo:
You come from the iPhone I read. rooting is about the same as jailbreaking an iPhone. You get write-access to the system and OS files which you can mod.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myeta:
AW: Rooting of Xperia Z

There are a lot of so called desktop replacement apps / launchers (Nova, adw, go launcher, apex, ...) All of these can change the appearance and behaviour of your home screen. These apps work without root and you have a wide bench to customize your home screen. (And you don't need a firmware update to get 5 rows instead of 4 (ala iPhone))

With root you can for example use themes that changes your status bar and similar stuff.

Furthermore you can install custom ROMs that give you even more options (size if bars, colors, PIE-Control (paranoidandroid ROM).

Personally I don't want to live without root (firewall, ad block, pie control are my favourites ;) )

I hope this gives you the information you are looking for :)

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MobiusPizza:
I am buying Xperia Z from three, they have tethering policies, so I think tethering would be disabled by the ROM.

Does rooting allow me to install a tethering app?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schaggo:
Prolly too much information, as the user is not at all familiar with Android language and metaphors...

But correct: icons, "homescreen" look and feel etc does not need root. Editing systemfiles itself to change certain things need root. Hence I asked, where you want to get at ;)

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 PM ----------

This device will most likely be branded and bootloader will not be unlockable. If I were you and if you have the possibility to do so, I'd go for a "free" device from the "open market" if you know what I mean.

If you can't do that, then there's a certain possibility that flashing an unbranded software is sufficient already to remove the branding and get the tethering functionality back. I don't know though and thus cannot answer with any certainty.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davwman:
Wrong huh? Never had a screen protector on anything with gorilla glass. I work for a railroad and my job could be dirty at times. Guess where my nexus 4 goes, yup in my pocket. Guess how many scratches are on my screen, zero. Luck? Maybe. Product doing what its supposed to? I think so. Best part about it, I'm anal about my electronics. The screen protectors mess up the screen images pretty bad, no matter how good the screen protector is. I had a gs3 once and dropped it clear on its screen onto pavement. Not one scratch. Your luck may be worse than mine, take my experience lightly because others luck may run thin. I will never buy another worthless waste of money that diminishes the experience of the beautiful screens we are provided. Now with that said if you find that you must absolutely have a screen protector, the last one I bought was for an atrix HD/wet application version for my wife. Installed properly by steaming out a bathroom, being absolutely certain there was zero dust on the screen and following directions to a T that thing was absolutely invisible and clear as day, with zero orange peel, it still changed the appearance though.
