:roll: I have the O2 XDA and i have had it unlocked, it comes with 32 mb ram. i was wondering if any body has the upgrade software for it that they have tested and is working. my phone ROM Version is 3.12.07 ENG and Radio versio is 4.06.

if anybody has any information on how i could upgrade this phone i would be grateful, thank you and i hope to here from you son.

Shammy :idea:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] roko:
It all depends on where you got your XDA (Netherlands, Germany, Ireland, US) and what operator you have. If you are not so sure how to upgrade or where to get an upgrade then contact your operator and use only their upgrade and instructions. In the worst case you could render your XDA useless so be carefull! Reading postings and info on websites as informative as this one sure helps a lot!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] no15rb:
Thanks

Thanks for your help pal i will inform by service provider and see if they can give me the upgrade information :cry:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ewingr:
I have not had this problem at all...until maybe a week or go, when it started.

I have screen flicker, sometimes quite bad. I thought I read somewhere that GPU settings may have something do do with it.

Thing is, I haven't changed any settings, or kernels. I'm no what is listed in my sig, and have been for quite a while.

Any thoughts?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CamFlawless:
You could try disabling HW overlays under developer options in the settings menu.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Monkeymannnn:
Disabling hw overlays won't help (much anyways). Turn off auto brightness. Just set your brightness to a usable level. I didn't notice a single flicker the day I turned off auto brightness. The only tradeoff there is you're gonna run through your battery a little more quickly in lower light levels. Wasn't worth it for me, but whatever makes you happy.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ewingr:
Neither is a go for me.

I never use auto brightness; I've tried both having Disable Hardware Overlays set and not set.

It's strange...I never had this problem until recently.

But, another thing that seems to be the case: I"m not sure it's happening in any app other than Samsung Email.

...

Just went and tried something: opened an email and scrolled in Samsung eMail, and it flashed. Did same in GMail, and it didn't. Maybe it's just something about a recent upgrade on that app. Maybe I'll post a topic on that app and see if anyone else is seeing it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
What's your ROM?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ewingr:
It's listed in my signature. Stock/Rooted.

I do have an update: I also was having pretty severe flicker/flashing when reading in Aldiko.

Last night I did a TWRP backup; factory reset; restore Data partition. Flashing is improved quite a bit, but still there.

So again, it seems it is happening, for the most part, in just a couple apps: Samsung Email, and Aldiko.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
For one, I am trying to help you. For two, signatures don't show up when viewing in mobile app. Three... did you try a different kernel?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] abhinavseth92:
Same happens wid me.... still am on search for a solution.... at first I thought. May be a ROM has to do wid this... but am not sure...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ewingr:
Sorry. Didn't mean to offend. I didn't know sigs don't show up when viewing in mobile. I put the info in the sig in order to prevent people from having to ask, and to prevent from having to type it with every post. I appreciate your telling me it doesn't show up in mobile apps. I never use mobile for forums...typing is to laborious.

IN answer to three, yes, have tried different kernel, although it's been quite a while.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
It's ok.

I've had this issue on AOSP ROMs. Only way out was to change ROM.

I don't have any USB device connected other than the mouse on PC. i have even tried on my laptop with no mouse.

I have downloaded pit file and uvjfd.tar two times from the forums.

I have tried flashing multiple times from both my PC & laptop using Odin 3.0 v1.0, v1.85, v3.07(latest), EZOdin v1.70 and installed Samsung USB drivers multiple times, even downloaded latest driver version from official Samsung Vibrant page.

I have tried flashing from all possible USB ports on my PC & laptop wherever the phone was being recognized. But now with the latest official Samsung Vibrant drivers, my phone is not being detected by any USB port on my PC.

But whenever I have flashed, Odin is stuck at Cache or Modem or recently(with latest samsung drivers), DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET !!

I have even tried flashing through Heimdall 1.3.1 but the zadig.exe shows the device only as 'Gadget Serial' no matter how many times I try, and installs the driver with device as Gadget Serial under libusb in Device Manager and I also tried by updating driver as Samsung Composite USB as mentioned in readme. Either Way Heimdall frontend will not flash and says "Failed to detect compatible download-mode device".

Edit: I tried with another USB cable, of LG GS500v, and Oh Lord Jesus, Odin flashed past it. Great, time to buy a new Samsung USB cable, now!

Similar Problem but different results.

Hi!

Whomever can help me, please help me. Right now, I am on stock Froyo 2.2 after the factory reset so this is how I got it but it is rooted only. I am trying to overwrite CWM because I cannot get into its recovery no matter how many times I flash it. Odin just will not recognize my phone when I am in download mode. When my phone is on, it will allow the mass storage and that works but when in download mode, my PC says unrecognized devide. I have a feeling that is the problem and I have updated the drivers several times, especially from Samsung but to no avail. Does someone have a solution to this problem? I want to go to Avatar ROM with my phone which is Jelly Bean and have seen its possible but I feel CWM is holding me back.

Thank you in advance!

Can you explain the steps your taking when you try to get into odin
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david.carlton.jr38:
The steps I take is put the phone into download mode by pulling the battery and then holding both the volume up and down then reinsert the battery. It shows the download screen. I then start odin and I have tried version 1.7 and the latest version of 3.0.7. Then I plug my phone into the USB port and windows pops up saying unrecognized device. I have reinstalled drivers several times. Now to describe my desktop is that it is a pentium III 550 Mhz...and old computer and running Windows XP Professional. I am able to do the mass storage when the phone is on normally so it recognizes it that way though. I have tried different USB ports on it as well so just unsure. I have rooted the phone and have superuser app access. ROM manager was supposed to have flashed the recovery mode but it never goes into the CWR mode either and its version is 2.5.1.2 which I have seen work on these phones in videos on YouTube so guess I am trying a different route so I can play with the mods to find a ROM I like. I was going to try the Avatar ROM for the vibrant but just cannot seem to get to the point where I can get the ROM flashed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinzy98:
Keep the battery in and lull up Odin. Cut off the phone and hold both volumes while inserting USB hopefully the computer will then recognize it
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david.carlton.jr38:
Its still not recognizing it. I am almost consigned to wait until either my laptop is fixed or get a new laptop to replace it because this desktop is 13 years old and has the old USB 1.1 but wouldn't think that makes a difference. Any other ideas? I have uninstalled and reinstalled the USB drivers but I have not installed Kies yet but heard some bad things about that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinzy98:
Stay away from kies I will Brick your device as for the computer being old I don't know. I've never had this problem before. Sorry o couldn't help
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ioancr:
USB cable does make difference. And USB ports even on the same computer. Check also your phone's drivers. Finally, try out Heimdall one-click package for t959, it is more powerful and sensitive than Odin.

Good luck
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david.carlton.jr38:
Do you have the link to the Heimdall one-click package or do I just google it?

And since only thing remaining in your case is USB cable, I would say try with a different micro USB cable, even a different vendor's will do, as it did the trick for me( see the edit in OP)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david.carlton.jr38:
I will try that. Thank you! I need to get a car charger anyway so I can get a usb adapter for the car and a usb cable and try it that way.

Stuck on cache

I'm also stuck on cache & I have tried more than one USB cable. Is there something else that I might be doing wrong? I'm completely uninclined technologically. The fact that I got my phone into download mode after 'bricking' is a feat in itself. Now what do I do when I'm stuck??
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parasharenator:
Great that you could get it to the download mode.

Follow these steps:

1. Make sure that you have the correct drivers installed for your Operating System. Preferably, download the latest drivers. You can verify when your device is recognized when connected in download mode.

2. Make sure you follow this thread for Odin flashing http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=849028

3. If unable to flash using ODIN successfully, try with different USB ports, on same computer or a different one, say, a laptop.

4. If still unable to do so, try with different USB cables (any micro-usb should do).

In this way, you should by trying multiple alternatives at each step you should be able to eliminate the options and figure out what is really creating the problem in your flashing. Trust me my friend, this has not go anything to do with technology. just follow the steps, try alternatives and you would resolve this. Do post back on thread, if you have any queries.

Hi,

I am facing the same problem of the Status 7 error.

I am on the Philz Touch 3 CWM base version: 6.0.1.8

I am trying to upgrade from NeatRom Lite to AOKP_MR1_Milestone1.

I have tried to install the "Kernel_Siyah-Dorimanx-V9.14-[10-49]-[16-04]-JB-CM-AOKP-SGII-PWR-CORE" but i am getting the same Status 7 error while installing the kernel.

can you help?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Status error 7 normally means: "precondition check failed", i.e. you are trying to flash something which is not compatible to your current device configuration.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [Hmk]:
You probably figured it out by now. I had the same issue with the newest version of Philz recovery not working with [ROM][MK2] 4.3 Stock(ish)v05. You have to use the version that is mentioned on the ROM page. It doesn't work with the latest version even though on another thread it said to use the latest version.

Hello all,

I want to install PA3, and I want to know what is the best kernel for battery performance.

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kodam:
Stock PA and matr1x kernel are both really good, with matr1x the battery life is about 5 hours screen, without screen it is just 1%/2 hrs.

I've tried franco and faux kernel too, but franco was a bit laggish and faux has terrible performance for me...slow ui, lots of framedrop in games...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jsparta26:
There is no best kernel. All of them offer something a little different than the other. Some kernels work better with a ROM than others. My advice to to read up on them. Find out what you want out of it. Flash one and run it for a couple days. Make sure you let the battery drain past 20% then charge it without interrupting it. That's the surest way to gain maximum battery saving benefits. Just try them out until you find the one that's right for you. Happy flashing.

Title explains it all. Where there is a will there is usually a way on Android. Unfortunately I do not have the skill to make this happen therefore I will offer a bounty for this. I want the stock Samsung keyboard with handwriting capabilities like what we get with TW, but I want it working on my CM 10.1. The Swype Beta keyboard just isn't doing it for me and I have found no other viable alternatives in the app store. I am willing to pay $10 for the keyboard through the app store or $20 to any developer who can deliver this keyboard. From reading other boards and posts this should be something in relatively high demand. To be clear I do not care about Snote or the other native TW apps,I just need the keyboard.

You bring up a good point though. Maybe what I am really looking for is a developer to add good handwriting recognition to the AOSP 4.2 keyboard.

The best thing for rechargeables is to completely empty them before recharging on regular basis. In case of an XDA this is not a good idea since you loose all your data when the battery goes flat. So my guess is to wait with recharging as long as you dare. :wink:

I'm not sure how the real kernel devs went about compiling theres, but I had to make a few changes to a few source files just to get it to compile.

the version of 4.1.2 I have also adds the Best Face feature to the camera :) (didn't see that listed in the updates specific to this phone, or I may be running some oddball version), either way it wasn't there in the stock 4.1.1 for me.

I do have an odd issue since going to 4.1.2, If I have my phone in my pocket and receive a phone call, I pull the phone out of my pocket accidentally touching the screen, I can not then slide to answer the phone call. I messed around and found a setting to answer calls by pressing home button, so I have got around it for now.

However I have played around more and discovered if at any point in time I keep a few fingers on the screen at once for a few seconds it seems to disable touch input all together and I have to lock the phone then unlock to get it back.... didn't seem to happen on 4.1.1 for me. Hasn;t caught me too many times but every once in a while it bugs the hell out of me.
