[Samsung Infuse 4G] COfatboy:
So I have an old Infuse that my kids use and it went crazy the other day. Not sure what happened. Long story short I keep getting a boot loop at the ATT screen. This phone is not rooted and I'm not sure if it was on Froyo or GB. I've flashed every return from brick I can find on XDA. I'm using Odin and I'm pretty familiar with flashing/rooting etc. Can't figure this one out. The only thing I can think is the boot loaders are not the correct ones? Not sure, I keep seeing GTG's ultimate unbrick but all the links I get to it don't work. this is the only thing I haven't tried. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit to add: After I flash in Odin it goes to reboot then does the open update, verifying update, installing update, successfully installed update package.

Copying media files it says failed to mount/sdcard, can't mount /sdcard your storage not prepared yet please use UI menu for format and reboot. ??? I think that's the problem. How do I fix??
[Samsung Infuse 4G] magnetboard:
Just search in the stickies for bootloaders. That will solve your problems

Tried everything and no go. Not sure where to go from here. Sure seems like a hardware issue.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SpleenWeen:
You mentioned it's boot-looping at the Samsung logo - perhaps there's an issue with the power button.

Here's a couple of threads that may be helpful:

It goes past the Samsung logo screen then to the ATT Rethink Possible screen then keeps looping on that screen over and over. It charges normally also.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SpleenWeen:
I would try flashing just a kernel (not the whole unbrick package). I have been in a similar situation and after trying everything imaginable that's what ended up fixing it for me.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] COfatboy:
Tried that earlier I thought, tried again just to make sure. Still no go. I appreciate all your help! :good: I'm gonna give up for tonight anyways.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] amritn:
This happened to me earlier. What I did was-

1 Went to full stock using heimdal one click, After completetion, U may stuck in bootloop in at&t as you said

2 Flash efs.zip found in the link below using odin. put efs.zip in odin and untouch any other setting and flash, (Ur imei may be previously corrupted so u got bootloop). This doesnot do any harm. So flash with confidence. If ur device doesnot show up in odin after u flash with heimdal one click , reinstal drivers with kies mini

Link for download http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1729838

3 Now u'll be out of AT&T bootloop if ur imei was previously corrupted.

I was in similar situation. And this solved my proble.

Hit me thanks if I helped you :good:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] COfatboy:
Thanks for all the advise. Still not working. Tried everything above and much more. Different things I do give different results but pretty much the same in end. Either sticks in recovery or boot loops one way or another. Really don't see how this could be related to software but you never know I guess.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] clorbag:
so last night i flashed a rom for the att lg optimus g, it was working great today as well. then the phone shut off randomly and now it keeps turning off and on and stays at the lg screen and then the screen is dimly lit. i tried going into download mode on my phone but it cause my computer to crash every single time i try, i would really appreciate any help i could get as its my only device.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] gsrrr:
Which ROM? Did you make a backup that you can restore to before flashing?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] droidiac13:
I had this happen to my laptop (Samsung Series 7), but strangely enough, I was able to get my desktop to run LGNPST just fine. Have you tried or do you have a different computer?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] clorbag:

Thank you, when I rooted using the guide linked from one of the sticky posts most of the links were dead, so it is nice to have this.

One suggestion - perhaps include the steps to finish up for those that want to stay on stock rom but be rooted.
[HTC Droid DNA] ickedmel:
Thanks def look forward to that
[HTC Droid DNA] steventrev:
Thanks! Having these steps in a simple guide saved me a good bit of time.

Minor confusion on "Installing the Kernal". I extracted Cubed.Stock.System.Write.zip, flashed boot.img, then flashed Modules.zip in recovery. From the guide, does renaming the package to boot.img work as well?

Lastly, I'm not sure if you want to include flashing/loading ViperDNA's OTA updates.
[HTC Droid DNA] John58543:
Is there a way to factory reset phone and eliminate OTA update? I'm assuming no but never hurts to ask....
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
No
[HTC Droid DNA] drumz0rz:
As in renaming the zip? No, you need to do what you said, I left out the flashing the modules. I'll fix that, thanks.

Hi,

I'm looking for a app for Android, that can send me the coordinates by SMS to me. Lets say I send a text to the phone, my GPS-tracking Android phone, hidden in car must respond back with another SMS. Preferably with a link to Google Maps. I've found a couple of Apps that can send the position to their web page, but through GPRS/3G connection.

Is there any app that can auto respond with the coordinates back by SMS? I'm having a Android 2.2 rooted phone for this.

Background: Anyone using Sprint recall the OPTION of selecting which outbound number you wanted to use EACH time you made a call from your smartphone?

There was a radio button that allowed you to select either one (Sprint number or GVoice number) before proceeding with the call.

Has that OPTION of which number to use, been eliminated?
[Microsoft Surface] elite-fusion:
Hey Guys,

I am thinking about purchasing a Surface, but not sure which to go with. I would prefer the 64GB one but not sure if I should go RT or Pro.

What are the main differences between the RT and the Pro? Why go Pro and not RT?

Please help me out guys :)
[Microsoft Surface] Ryno_666:
64GB Pro is a good compromise. It allows you to get rid of your tablet and your laptop and go for an all in 1 solution that can later be expanded via SD card to add additional 128 GB
[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
via microSD not SD. Max size microSD available on the market right now is 64gb not 128.
[Microsoft Surface] Hardcore73:
Just go with the 64GB model Pro. You can always just add a MicroSD card for an extra 64 GB of space for movies, pics, etc..

The RT model will only use the RT software and the Pro will also use any PC software. No brainer for my choice.
[Microsoft Surface] Clienterror:
Depends on what you need and want. The RT Imo blows the hell out of every other tablet on the market. The Pro is a desktop replacement. I went with the RT because I needed all day battery life, and have a pretty powerful desktop at home for gaming/encoding and most apps are available for the RT that use. Honestly the pro to rt compares are pretty pointless, it's like comparing an ipad with a mac book air (with way worse battery) and talking about the ipad like it's a POS because the air can do more. You also need to look at the Os's, Ipad and Android tablets are basically big phones honestly. Most android apps for tablets are phone apps just scaled to be huge. Windows RT is a watered down full OS which means printing is easy easier, full access to file system like you're used to, and a full office suite where you can actually be productive.

So long story short, do you NEED to run x86 apps on your tablet, is it your only PC, and do you not mind 3-4 hour battery? Then stick with the pro. If you want a kick ass tablet, RT is where it's at IMO.
[Microsoft Surface] vesper007:
If you're only going to be doing regular tablet stuff, like browsing, watching videos/movies etc, but still feel like you need a full windows 8 experience, you should check out the Asus Vivotab smart. It uses a dual core Intel atom x86 processor clocked at around 1.8 ghz, had 64 gb storage, nfc, 10.1 inch screen with optional Bluetooth keyboard. Best of all, it only costs $499 (excluding the keyboard) and has 8.5 hours of battery life on regular use and 7 hours on heavy use. I checked out a couple of reviews (engadget and cnet) and both were very positive. The surface pro is geared towards 'prosumers' who create as well as consume and so require the processing power of an i5. But for the money, the vivotab is the best windows 8 tablet...... IN THE WORLD! (Jeremy Clarkson voice) ;)
[Microsoft Surface] KJ98653:
RT is arguably more secure. Battery life is better. Cheaper. Very close to the full Windows experience compared to other popular tablets. Mail app is crappy. Can get sluggish like a netbook depending on how you use it. All plug-ins and drivers aren't compatible. So you couldn't root your android device with a RT for example or install a MMO you like.

Pro is a much faster full Windows experience with it's i5 and SSD and can do nearly everything your desktop/laptop can do but it's ports and screen size are limited. It has nifty pen input. Scaling issues. Its GPU is weak for games. Do you need a powerful computer that's mobile or a companion device that lasts most of the day? Basically what it comes down to.
[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
Thats what I like about the atom powered devices. Here in the UK I can only find the Surface RT on sale for £399.99 without keyboard. I can only find the ASUS VivoTab Smart on sale for £399.99 without keyboard. Hmm. Battery life is similar. OS feels equally responsive on both devices for Microsoft Store apps. Cost the same. Hopefully we'll see RT devices dropping in price soon. Hardware wise they are hardly different from existing android devices which somehow manage to be far cheaper....

Personally I am saving some money aside for the ASUS VivoTab. The 11" model with a wacom stylus, gorilla glass and a transformer style keyboard dock rather than the Smart (smart keyboard is instead just a bluetooth keyboard which clips into a wallet/case for the tablet, case can also double as a stand).
[Microsoft Surface] dogboy66:
Asus?

I purchased an RT device and felt **** blocked by the ARM architecture, the whole OS is right there, but you can't do anything with it. I waited till the Surface Pro released with plans to buy one, but the battery life sucks. I ended up getting a VivoTab T810C and the dock, then upgraded to Windows 8 Pro to join a domain and it has been perfect. Other than the low res screen (720p, would love to have seen a 1080p option) and occasional lag due to lower power CPU than I'm used to (My old daily driver had a quad core i7, 8gb of ddr3 1333, and a SSD, so a real speed demon) I love this thing. The dock gives an extra 10 or so hours of use plus 2 extra USB ports. Using an adapter to get full sized HDMI, it can run an external monitor. I'd love to see a desktop dock with ethernet and two full sized display outputs, but I'm assuming the dock port doesn't have enough bandwidth.
[Microsoft Surface] C-Lang:
RT!!!

Go RT, it comes with office, which is at least $100 otherwise. Battery life is better, lighter, etc. I have the RT and love it! Plus its way cheaper, and you can use the microsd. Definitely go RT if you don't absolutely NEED any x86 programs. Plus, no viruses! (which you shouldn't get anyway unless you are on lame sites ?
[Microsoft Surface] NCRoadster:
I bought the Pro and took it back for the RT.

The Pro's battery life was too short for me and the tablet was quite warm while using it.

I had Lightroom installed and it ran quite well. Storage was an issue though so I decided to use Lightroom on my desktop instead and use the RT for the other tasks.
[Microsoft Surface] Talon Pro:
My main question is whether or not the RT connects to ad-hoc WiFi like from WMWifiRouter or USB tether? That I think is the only thing keeping me from jumping laptop ship and also ditching my TouchPad.
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
It runs Windows. Pretty much anything you can do in Windows 8 other than run desktop x86 apps (and even that's being worked on!) can be done in RT. This includes not only connecting to ad-hoc networks, but creating them, bridging them, and (I think; haven't tried yet) even Internet Connection Sharing through them, if you connect it to another network (for example, via a USB Ethernet adapter).
[Microsoft Surface] Talon Pro:
I was hoping so, but you never know what some will do to lock their stuff down. All of the WInMo phones are/were capable of the same thing yet we had to hack that in.

Thanks for the info, youve pretty much pushed me the last bit, now i need to go play with one to be sure.

Oh, does anyone know if on Office 2013 Outlook still works like 2007/2010 with POP3? Does 2013 come with Outlook? If not, can i somehow install an older version or setup my email like a cell phone client? I use the 'keep on server for 1 day' feature to synch my phone and computer which auto cleans out my Inbox on my phone. I will not use IMAP so please dont try to convince me.
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
Office 2013 comes with Outlook in the same editions that Office 2010 or 2007 did. Office RT (the Windows RT port of Office 2013) does not come with Outlook.

Outlook 2013 can use POP3 "correctly" (in quotes because there's no correct way to use a protocol that obsolete and poorly designed) in the same manner as previous versions, yes.

Outlook RT has not yet been released, and may never be. If it is, it will probably cost some money but will almost certainly support POP3.

The default "Windows Mail" (in quotes because it's a travesty compared to the Vista-builtin program of the same name) client on Win8 and Windows RT actually does act as a mobile client, not a desktop one; this can be useful in some situations, but is more often a hassle. It does not (currently) support POP3 and may never.

Out of morbid curiosity, what's your beef with IMAP? It's not an ideal protocol, but it beats POP3 hands-down for a multi-device scenario (things like keeping track between devices of what has and has not been read, access mail sent from one device while on another one, delete from one device and optionally have it removed from all).
[Microsoft Surface] Talon Pro:
My "beef" is for one, its slow and clunky and i keep all my emails on my main PC in one .pst file, which is not my server. Keeping the emails on the server for one day allows me to synch Todays emails only on any phone/device i want and it works flawlessly. I also dont have to manually delete or scroll through a million emails on my phone. I also have multiple accounts which go to Outlook but only 3 that go to my phone and i dont want all of them on my phone.

Basically, it works for me and no one can convince me otherwise :)

In comparison to your "obsolete" comment the VA Hospital network uses a program built in COBOL and BASIC back in the 70's, yet they still run it today because it still works and is quite solid and havent been able to come up with anything that beats it. So whats wrong with using something that works?
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
Have you actually looked at the wire traffic for POP3? It's very inefficient. Not sure where you got the idea that IMAP was slow or clunky by comparison. Granted, if you for some reason *really* don't want to store your email on the server, then POP3 works fine (you can use IMAP the same way, but you lose most of its advantages if you do so). Of course, you're hosed if anything ever happens to that single PST file on that single hard drive, so hopefully you make backups regularly (everybody should, anyhow)...

Your phone (or any other half-decent IMAP client) has options to only sync the most recent X number of emails. "... manually delete or scroll through a million emails on my phone..." shows that you've clearly never even looked at an IMAP client closely, much less tried to use one. I set most of my accounts to sync the last two weeks. Oh, that's another thing: why do you mention that you only sync three of your accounts on the phone as though that makes POP3 better? That's actually a downside of POP3, because you'll receive everything in those accounts, with no filtering. With IMAP, you could not only choose which accounts to sync, but which folders *in* those accounts. IMAP lets you automatically (for example) filter out spam from the inbox to another folder (possibly trash), and you'll never see it on the phone at all. Also, with IMAP, you can flag items on your PC for later reading on your phone (or vice versa). Your phone should offer the ability to filter by unread messages, which means that even if you get a lot of mail you can have your phone only show you the ones that you didn't already look at on the PC (with no searching needed on your part at all).

Why compare a network protocol to a hospital mainframe, when there's such a much more obvious apples-to-apples comparison available? Speaking of which, why the heck are you using HTTP and HTML? It's just terribly "slow and clunky" compared to Gopher! Think of all the bandwidth you're wasting with those headers and those markup tags and those images! Yes, sometimes we still use old things. ASCII, for example, is 50+ years old. Of course, so are B&W CRT analogue TVs and vacuum tubes, but I bet you don't still use either of those, either...

Meh, if you're still unconvinced, you're being willfully ignorant at this point, so carry on if you wish. Don't complain when you can't find any stores that still sell buggy whips, though. The world is moving on, and rightly so.
[Microsoft Surface] Talon Pro:
You are hilarious. Just quit derailing the thread. Thanks for pointedly answering my 2 questions though.
[Microsoft Surface] guitar1969:
Maybe because not every email provider has IMAP and the Surface RT should be about flexibility. . . I certainly am not going to change my email provider of 5 years because RT can't handle it.
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
Eh, your call... I wouldn't stick with a TV provider that only broadcast analogue, or telephone provider that only supported rotary dial, or a PC manufacturer that didn't support any peripheral newer than a floppy disk or serial port (RS232). POP was never designed to support multiple devices (it doesn't even allow concurrent connections to a given mailbox!), whereas IMAP was specifically designed with this capability in mind.

Frankly, given how terrible POP3 is at supporting multiple devices and the fact that the Surface RT isn't really intended to serve as a user's sole computer, I'm becoming less surprised that POP3 isn't a priority. It's still odd, but they may have just figured there were plenty of alternatives. You don't even have to change your email address... Gmail, Hotmail, and many other services can be accessed properly from the new Windows Mail, and if you just forward your messages to one of those (from your POP provider, assuming they aren't truly stuck in the stone age and support forwarding) then you can just use that (Windows mail *does* allow you to choose the address on replies).
[Microsoft Surface] isangelous:
If you use Hotmail you don't need the other provider to support email forwarding:

In email options -> Your email accounts you can add a "send-receive account" - Microsoft talk for POP3

(and in advanced options you can tick leave a copy on the server if wanted)

I believe Gmail has similar options.

I can appreciate that if Talon has a working set up he doesn't want to change it just for one device. Though I am wondering if that would work with IMAP without any changes. Am I right in thinking that if the desktop client deletes emails via POP3 when they are one day old they will be removed from devices syncing by IMAP?
