hello.

I have problem with power button on my galaxy note 2. It stop work because the phone got a little water. I was drying the phone few hours and it was working, but the power button stopped respond after few use.

Is any way to power on phone without power button?

Or is any easy way to fix power button.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
You shouldve waited a few days before starting the phone, 2days at the least. You probably still got some water so your best bet is to turn it off and place it either on top of your refrigerator or rice pack for a 2days and then try. There's no other easy way to turn your phone on.

Hey Really new to this stuff but i have a weird question..

.Ive noticed most ROMs are built off of Jellybean 4.1.x even though Jellybean 4.2.x is out.

Is Jellybean 4.2.x only for tablets? And is anyone aware of a port of Multiwindow yet?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
actually, a good majority of these roms are built on 4.2 and up. it depends on which forum you're looking in (android dev vs original android dev). since the release of ice cream sandwich (android 4+) , tablets and smartphones alike have been running on the same android platform.

as for multi-window roms, there are a few out there that offer that feature. its buggy, though. an actual i9300 port isnt likely. i would imagine that coming about after samsung gets an official 4.1.2 or 4.2 to carriers. i've heard that feature might be built into the US variants finally
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DustinD1986:
I was told multi-window is "supposed" to be offered in the "official" 4.1.2 release to the US.

Right now i am running "Hellfire".

Got any good suggestions for better ROM's?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pcshano:
wrong. there won't be multi-windows feature (and few others) for U.S S3 versions of 4.1.2 (yet to release).

as for suggesting better roms, you better try and judge them yourself.

now back to OP

4.1.1 custom roms are Samsung stock rom modified (debloated, mod, etc) people usually call these TW(TouchWiz) roms

4.2.x custom roms are built from source (google source) people usually prefer them as AOSP(android open source project) and these roms are usually light-weighted compare to TW based custom roms

Subject: Ram Upgrade

From: Alan T

Date: 04 Jan, 2003 16:48:11

Does anybody know how feasible it is to upgrade the RAM upto 64m

or even 128m and where are the parts available and as a side

issue, is there a way of preventing a lock up when the serial

cable connected to my GPS is unplugged. :)

Subject: PPCTechs

From: Anthony Newman

Date: 04 Jan, 2003 22:35:53

PocketPCTechs do a RAM upgrade to 64 or 128; check

www.pocketpcpassion.com for any promotions, or go straight to

http://www.pocketpct

echs.com/XDAup.asp . If you're in the UK, eXpansys

currently offer the 64MB upgrade, with the 128MB coming sometime

when they're ready. AFAIK there's no DIY option, and I

personally would rather trust PPCTechs over myself anyday.

HTH!

Subject: 64mb or 128mb

From: malkia@mindless.com

Date: 05 Jan, 2003 22:15:24

I've read on the newsgroups that the unit cannot use fully the

128mbytes, but it can use 64mb - the other 64mb will go as

Storage card or something like this. Is that true?

I know that iPAQ can have 256mb of RAM memory...

also does anyone knows exactly how this affects to batteries -

for example from 3 hours straight 32mb to how much hours with

64mb and 128mb?

Subject: Memory

From: Anthony Newman

Date: 06 Jan, 2003 02:57:47

I'm not sure whether the second 64 will appear as a storage card

- I know the old iPAQ upgrades used to, until they figured a way

around it, and the same may apply here. I'm not sure whether you

need to install the PPCTechs driver when it's 'natural' RAM

either - you'd have to ask them.

As to battery drain, I think the gadgeteer did something on

this. In their tests the 64MB upgrade has something like 3% less

battery life, or some other insignificant amount. If I had to

choose between double the RAM or an extra 10 minutes' battery

life, I know which I'd choose :D. Rest assured it won't be a

gas-guzzler! I'm sure if you google it you can find the exact

figures.

Thanx, Anthony

I've found pdaPocketHome site, and the FAQ over there (phew -

lots of stuff) - and the battery (Pocket PC Phone) charts for

memory upgrades - really nothing to worry about ;)

just to decide whether I need 64MB or 128MB,

also I've read that they have some "T2T Disk" instead of

"Storage Card" - I was just afraid whether it'll screw and act

like "Storage Card" and the original one to be called "Storage

Card 2" (cause my stuff is already installed over there, and the

registry will mess it up more).

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] adfad666:
There's no technical reason why the 3.4 kernel will not run on all sony msm7x27a phones. However to port it we will need updated blobs, so for Tipo and Miro we will need to take them from J or E and any future msm7x27a phones Sony may release.

Luckily, most blob files are actually already identical between the three phones, so it looks like it won't be a problem. However to be sure I'd like to ask Tipo and Miro owners running CyanogenMod 10 to test some blob files taken from J. I have already tried the Tipo and Miro blobs on J and they work fine. However I'd like to be sure the J blobs work on Tipo and Miro before I commit to using the J blobs.

So the first files to test are to do with the bcm4330 chip which controls both WiFi and Bluetooth:

View attachment 1771902

Replace all files at /system/etc/bcm4330 with the files in this zip, reboot, and test wifi and bluetooth. If both still work please let me know.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] adfad666:
I've been unsatisfied with how poorly CM10 runs on jlo so I've shifted my focus to a new project.

However, I did spend a little time with merging the jlo kernel to the nanhu (Xperia E) but I haven't committed anything yet. Unfortunately the two kernels have very different changes as they were written by two different developer teams so it's not as trivial as you would normally expect.

FXP has started to bring up nanhu to CM10 as well as a new repo for jlo based on its JB blobs, but it looks like it won't be ready for a while as its proving to be more difficult than expected.

The eventual aim is to have all four devices on one kernel, but we need to have the two with JB fully working first!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t.Lancer:
My Atrix has started to act strangely.

I can only charge it over the Multimedia Dock and third-party chargers. The original charger doesn't do anything, neither does the car dock. It's like I don't even have it plugged in.

If I try to connect it to a windows PC, it won't get detected and also won't charge. No activity on the PC or the phone

This is regardless of ROM, as I also can't connect via fastboot or adb in CWM Recovery. I have however tried Stock 2.3.6 and Neutrino 2.9 CM7 both show no reaction. All other aspects of the phone work fine. But USB connectivity is impossible and charging only works via the multimedia dock and third-party chargers.

Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong? Hardware or software?

That could be the USB becoming loose (i had a similar problem with my last phone). It's almost certainly a hardware problem.

[Asus Transformer TF700] joshnl:
Hi all,

After having successfully rooted my TF700 lately (while keeping the bootloader locked), I've been looking into unlocking the bootloader so I can flash a custom ROM (thinking about CROMI). Before flashing a custom ROM, people seem to recommend getting nvflash in order.

My problem is, however, I'm already on JB, and my understanding is that you need an ICS .26 bootloader (or earlier) in order to setup nvflash. I know that it's possible to downgrade the firmware from JB to ICS (in fact, this is what I did in order to be able to root my device - going from the latest JB to ICS .30); however, after searching around a fair bit, I'm still not clear on whether it's possible to revert the bootloader to an earlier version.

Can someone please clarify this for me. If I've already updated my device to JB, is there absolutely no way for me to set up nvflash?

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Once you're on JB, the lowest you can downgrade is ICS .30. You're too late for Nvflash. No way around it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] joshnl:
Okay... sucks, but thanks for the info. That's what I was afraid of.

Since that is the case, how critical is it to set up nvflash before getting into the whole custom ROM thing? Am I crazy to get into it without nvflash as a backup plan?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
There is a bug in the bootloader that you should be aware of: If your recovery is broken because it is

* too old, designed for the ICS bootloader, or

* you erased it via fastboot

then you should NEVER EVER choose "wipe data" from the bootloader menu. Except you want an expensive paperweight. Because then you can't even enter fastboot to fix it. This is the only situation where nvflash would really help you out.

If you always test any newly flashed recovery first by using the power+volume buttons, you are safe.
[Asus Transformer TF700] joshnl:
Thanks, _that!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Hazard17:
I know man who did wipe data from bootloader, it didn't brick him :D He has done this today on unlocked, TWRP and CROMI on TF300T. The newest bootloader fix it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
It would not brick him if he installed the latest version the either recovery -- that's exactly what _that said.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
Simply put, just keep your recovery up-to-date when major versions release and update the bootloader. When things such as this happen, they will be posted in the rom threat, just make sure you read thoroughly. Also, read the change log before upgrading the recovery, and if you use TWRP use GooManager and it will upgrade it for you at a tap of a button.

Been using it at work since it arrived. It works great - the beep is incredibly shrill, especially in an office environment, but it charges quickly and doesn't get too hot.

I will note that this particular charger does NOT top up the battery, so it's not good for overnight charging. Once your phone hits 100%, the charger stops charging, and doesn't kick back on until you physically remove the phone from the pad for a few seconds. It's great for the office or any other environment where you just need a quick top-up, but again, not good for overnight charging.
