[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
OK thanks fella, did you look at the firmware I'm attempting to flash? Is it correct? Is there a 4.0.3 version out there?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
I checked it out, it's OK. Check the signatures just in case with M.O.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
So the steps as I understand them...

1) menu>>settings>>backup & reset>>factory data reset

2) reinstall mobile Odin (and flash kernel if using lite version)

3) boot into recovery and wipe dalvic and cache

4) reboot phone normally

5) start mobile Odin and search for downloaded firmware

6) run md5 checks

7) begin flash process and allow to complete

8) reboot phone normally and complete initial setup.....job done

Should I be doing any other wiping or formatting of any partitions (eg preload, emmc etc) between steps 7 & 8.....or anywhere else in the process?......

After i flash my x10 minis kernel using flashtool, the screen is not working even i press power off button and menu button help me guys
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Phone Model, Kernel version (full ftf name) and ROM version please :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] RenzkiPH:
Sony Ericsson X10 Mini, stock kernel, Android 2.3.4
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
You flashed the kernel you said, so where did you get that from? Or did you mean the ROM? What is the name of the ROM you installed? 2.3.4 is not Stock Sony :)

We need at least Model-number for your phone, kernel .ftf name or the way you used to get the stock kernel on your phone, full ROM name too.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] RenzkiPH:
x10 mini, stock kernel of x10 mini, Minicm7 i forgot the number sorry but its android 2.3.5 sorry for my wrong info
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
I'm going to give up on you if you don't give the proper information.

If you have a x10mini and your touchscreen is not working after flashing a kernel, you have the kernel for a different model, say the x10 mini pro.

Without the actual model number and names (or locations where you got them from) of the actual kernel, there's no way of helping you.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] NBSB:
Hi,

Recently i sent my phone into a repair shop to replace the battery, and it was fine for the first few weeks, but then the screen went really dark one day and I could hardly see anything. When I connect to the tv, it works and the touchscreen works and so does the actual screen, its just the back light.

I was wondering if anyone knew how to access the backlight (i presume its the backlight) so I could repair it? Thanks!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
Did you press the volume down while connecting the USB cable? That should take you into download mode ( green led ). If that is also not working then it may be a problem.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
You could try flashtool?

Sent from my JB Xperia S
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] NBSB:
Yes, I did and the sony companion said it had finished, surely I could just send it to sony, because their software has caused it to stop working so they can repair it, and probably end up repairing the whole thing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
What is the best setup you found for incoming/outgoing Google Voice VOIP calls on a (Sprint) Galaxy Nexus? Interested in apps that work very well over wi-fi only, not over mobile data.

I'm looking for something that has great voice quality and also integrates seamlessly with the native dialer so that when not on wifi it makes phone calls over the cell radio and when on wi-fi it makes VOIP calls using Google Voice.

I see pbxes.org mentioned a lot. Is it worth the trouble given that they store the GV password on their server and then from what I understand they have to re-code from the GV codec to whatever codec the SIP client on the phone negotiates with the pbxes servers - I hope my understanding of how it works is correct.

Other options I've seen mentioned: Groove IP, Spare Phone, Talkatone.

Not sure which approach works best, maybe the experts here can save me some research time.

And as a SIP client, what works well? I tried the native phone SIP client with a SIP VOIP service and it sounded terrible, not sure why the native one doesn't work well.

Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gagb1967:
I use groove IP no problems
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
Anyone else? What's your great Google Voice setup?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheGman125:
I use GrooveIP as well. But I really want to get my pbxes.org working on my call setting. That is what I am going to work on today.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
Thanks, this is interesting but unfortunately it is too cumbersome to use by the person I'm setting up the phone for. I'd like a solution that's fully automated, use 1 dialer only (either native or a different app) that can smartly route calls via GV when on wifi (at home) or cell when not on wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] binglejellsx2:
You can setup your PBXes account just like the tutorials (with SIPdroid) and then put the account info into the regular dialer. I think the extra steps to use the stock dialer were in a wiki somewhere or some external webpage (not on this forum).

You only need SIPdroid to create the free extension on PBXes and follow the tutorials to get all setup. Then you can go into the stock dialer and put in accountname-200, password, and then pbxes.org as the domain. You can choose to receive calls on wifi only or while on a data connection with a checkbox. I've heard that the codec used with the stock dialer isn't that great, though. It's one of those things you'd have to tryout for yourself.

One dialer to send and receive calls. It even lets you know if it's a data call or not. Maybe this is something you wanted to look into?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
What SIP client pairs well with PBXes? I know the stock dialer SIP is very poor, I tried it with another SIP service and the call quality was mediocre, while their dedicated client worked very well, so at least I know it's not the phone hardware, it's the software.

I also read about potential latency issues with PBXes because they only have 1 server in NY. Is that still the case or the latency issues have been resolved? I guess in general I'm looking for a fairly reliable service though I'm prepared to accept occasional hiccups.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayalaba:
Almost

Mr.binglejellsx2 is almost correct. I have been deal with more than 15 apps to get best. create a account by using sipdroid. make sure you have got green dot and place one out going and incoming call via sipdroid. Exit sipdroid from your phone. go to pbxes.org and login under extension under sipdroid 200 (from left) than right, under device option retype your password. (means you are get ride of sipdroid and ready for new sip). in your phone open sipdroid and make sure your got yellow and exit. in your phone call setting, add new account, your username-200 password, server is pbxes.org under option make sure your port is 5060 and not uda must be tcp. hit back and your phone should say receiving call. If not working go to pbxes.org and re type password same extension and under personal data enter your password two times where required and submit start (means, you dont want sipdroid, the second sip and now ready for any new getaway which will be your native sip) this must work. I don't see best call quality anywhere. this is awesome especially for wifi. just like your carrier. I use this everyday for international call.. let me know if don't work. If works just enjoy..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
Thanks for your reply. I've been using Groove IP with very good results over wifi (that's what I care about, Sprint 3G mobile data is so bad anyway that it can't carry a call). The paid Groove IP integrates nicely with the native dialer too, so the experience is good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayalaba:
You are very welcome. Glad that you have got the good one. Good people always have good only..
[HTC One S] rc420head:
Maybe a noob question but can I damage my phone by wiping and flashing rooms to many times? Like "wear out my memory"?
[HTC One S] decievedthought:
Yes every so often you'll need to top up your flashing fluid. :D
[HTC One S] tigim101:
Lol I don't think so, you just have to remember to do a wipe every now and then (preferably every time you flash but for some ROMs it isn't necessary), especially if you're switching between aosp and stock type ROMs, so you don't get files messing with each other. As for memory becoming wore out, I don't think you'll keep the phone for that long.
[HTC One S] rc420head:
Haha very funny (no I really did lol) but can it hurt or degrade the storage?
[HTC One S] rc420head:
That's what I figured just thought I'd get others thoughts/experience
[HTC One S] mihirengg19:
Since flashing means writing some data onto the flash memory partition,there is no risk involved,unless you cause damage to the physical memory components inside the phone;):p
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
Yes. Flash memory can wear out. (But dont worry .. I think.)

I'm going to be wrong on all the details, but here goes:

Flash memory can be written, but not re-written without erasing it in between.

Writing can be done on pretty much per-byte basis, but erasing only per whole block. So re-writing one byte in a block means erasing and re-writing the entire block. Each block can be erased only a limited (like 100.000 or so?) amount of times. When a block is worn out, a spare or unused block can be reallocated for it. In the end, you can no longer write to it and it stops functioning.

Flashing ROMs doesn't do more damage than other stuff that involves writing to storage, but it does do a lot of writing. But so does copying a ROM zip to your phone, making or restoring nandroid backups, shooting video, rebuilding dalvik cache, etc ...

I don't know enough about this to do any real math on it, but I bet you can probably flash 100 ROMs per day for 10 years. (The numbers are probably wrong but the point is: you could abuse the memory hard for longer than the realistic life span of the phone itself.)

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Nfinity:
I purchased a Logitech bluetooth keyboard for use with the Note 10.1. Initially I was excited, but that excitement turned to irritation when I realized that my typing experience would be constantly interrupted by the words "English(US)". After some trial and error, I quickly found out that it was cased by pressing the key combination Shift+Spacebar, which activates the Samsung Keyboard's language switcher. Apparently, I hit this combo every time I capitalize an "i" when typing quickly.

After some trial and error, I found a decent solution. I downloaded the 4.2 Google keyboard, and problem solved (Initially I tried a number of other virtual keyboards, but each of them didn't play well with the quick FN options of this keyboard, and I was searching for full functionality). This also removes the full word deletion feature of Sammy's keyboard, which begins deleting entire words when the backspace button is pressed for X-amount of seconds), which I find to be very annoying.

The only problem left happens when reconnecting my bluetooth keyboard, which causes TouchWiz to default back to Samsung Keyboard. Fortunately, the virtual keyboard can be switched back to Google's with just a couple taps.

Anyways, hope this helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] winlinmac001:
So I left my phone charging the night before (plugged into to the wall charger), left it charging the whole night. Woke up the next morning and realized there was no power on my phone. I pressed the volume rocker, power button,and home button, but no success. The first thing that came to my mind was Sudden Death Syndrome; I removed the battery and plugged the unit into the wall charger; the Red Sensor light blinked a couple of times. At first I was upset (because I thought it was an SDS issue), but after I inserted the same battery into the battery compartment and connected the phone to the computer, and a few seconds later voila! The phone powered back on. I did some confirmatory tests to make sure the phone was intact, and it sure was. My charger reads 1.8A (~2 amperes), now a problem right now.

Would leaving a charger connected to the Note 2 for a long time result in such an experience? Would voltage fluctuations contribute to this experience? :confused:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] winlinmac001:
I've been having this particular unit since mid-Jan '13. This morning was my first encounter with this predicament. Plugging in the charger now shows no issues. My battery health shows Good, System Status--Normal. According to the system report, there is no indication there was any temperature spike. My phone is unrooted--stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] winlinmac001:
Lol, so I realized what I faced yesterday morning had nothing to do with SDS.

In fact, there was no issue at all.

My phone was on, even removing the battery and checking the light on the proximity sensor confirmed everything was normal.

The Stupid Vonage App which was responsible, didn't allow my phone display to turn on because the app froze. The Vonage App is so buggy; I wish the company can hire better software developers. Glad I have the T-Mobile version

[HTC Rezound] 66racer:
Hey guys,

Quick question, I have a few nand backups that I have done with the preset settings of boot, systen, data, cache. With JB and ICS roms now available, do I need any other settings selected to be able to switch between the different android version roms or am I still good? I only depended on it once but was within the same version (ics)

What is the point of the other settings anyways? I tried running a backup with all of the settings except compress selected and it failed mid way.

Thanks

(edit: and yes I googled it, just seems like there are mixed results as to what people back up and why, but not specific as to switching between different android versions like ics to jb and back)
[HTC Rezound] bunchies:
Using nandroid backup you don't have to choose extra settings. The compress just makes the file smaller but takes more time. I don't know about switching between jb and ICS using nandroid causes problems. I would just wipe everything before restoring the nandroid. And if it still causes problems I would revert back to stock using ruu than switch from either job or ICS using nandroid restore
[HTC Rezound] 66racer:
Thanks for the input, that's kinda what I was thinking as well. I might be doing an ruu flash soon as well since my phone has been buggy even with Roms that were 100% stable before. Not sure what happened but hope that helps then i will just redo my nand backups.
