I have a buddy that uses this option all the time now that he has it. He makes vinyl signs and oftentimes while out working, speaking to a customer on the phone, it's helpful to be able to take a picture without having to hang up. Sure, not everyone will utilize this feature, but like a dozen other features on your phone, it's great to have them regardless of whether you'll actually use them or not. :thumbup:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metheos:
Has anyone used a 4.2 ROM that works with the official car dock?

None of the 4.2 ROMs I have tried will pair with the dock, the ROMs I have tried are as follows:

Evervolv-Perdo-3.2.0-Nightly-2013.03.10-passion

CM10.1_VJ_4.2.1_V4.7_N1

CM10.1_VJ_4.2.2_V5.0_N1

MIUI_Enhanced_2.12.28_4.1

I am currently running Evervolv-Perdo-3.1.0p1-passion which is android 4.1.2 as it pairs up just fine.

Any Insight as to why it seems 4.2 doesn't like the official dock?

Thanks for any ideas!

Hi guys,

Can't post in the thread where this sould go to because I don't have 10 posts yet.

Should go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1971529

1st off: The Democracy rom really rocks! I've been using it for several months now on my Galaxy Ace for business use and it really is great.

One issue though...

My question:

Any1 else got this issue/bug where the appointments (synced from our Exchange server) for this week show up every 2nd week after as well?

So my appointment on March 12th also shows up on March 26th (and nope, it aint a recurring one and it does not show up in outlook/exchange, only on my phone).

Also, the timeline doubles sometimes, showing two time 09.00 , two time 10.00 etc.

And of course the question: Is there a solution for this?

Thanks in advance

I'm wrestling for the last 3 days with my qtek after the phone died. I tried different versions and combinations of ROM and RSU, 3.16.13, 3.17.03, XDA Develpers ROM 1.1 and RSU's 4.20.1 and other 2 that were inthe reapir.zip fail I received from Ricardo Gomes.

Everytime the Upgrade utility stops at 1% and asks for reset. Only yesterday night, with Special edition 1.1 the sync with the pc works again, but the phone problmem remains. I'm lost.

Can you think with me what can be done? I need your expertiese.

Thank you

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Qman:
Can you explain died in more detail? Was it during an upgrade etc..?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] esteban:
No, it was during making a regular call. The only "irregular" thing was that the unit was popping dialogues saying that I need to recharge the battery. I reseted the unit during the calling attempt and next thing the light didn't work, and when put it on the craddle the charge indicator didn't work neither (both things, the light and the charching indicator still don't work).

When I saw that it's not coming back, I started to work on flashing the ROM, etc.

The unit was working stable with ROM 3.17.03 from O2 UK and RSU 4.20.1

untill this happenned.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] esteban:
should I try CE2003?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] esteban:
I feel stupid. After all what I worked for 3 days to recover the unit, all ineeded to do was a hard reset. Everything is ok now. Thank you.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vivoin3d:
Hey guys!

Just noticed on my Xperia Z, that if I tap with my finger on the upper third (on the back) it sounds like something is loose on the inside. Is that normal? What could it be? Antenna? Sensors?

Btw, it makes it only while tapping on it....not when I shake it like crazy.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vivoin3d:
On a different forum, a user confirmed that his Xperia Z makes the same noise. While other start to post that theirs doesn't. Could be something normal than. Anyone any idea what it could be? Anyone here that could try it on his Xperia Z?

Sounds like the auto focus to me. Nothing to worry about if so.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vivoin3d:
Cheers for that! Was kinda worried because wasn't looking forward to get it replaced already
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve17harris:
I think its something to do with the nfc connectors, my blackberry z10 does the same noise when taped and when I take back cover off it stops and you can see the connectors of the nfc. And if u tap them it makes the same noise.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vivoin3d:
Found this video which might shed a light if the noise comes from the nfc connector or the camera

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=3ccFdB91siY#!

At 04:39 it shows it a bit closer the inside. Small but at least very sharp

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliffordlee:
It's a common observation across all xperia z units that I've handled thus far so I don't see it to be of any cause of concern yea (: I've had other phones making rattling noises when being shaked/waved/tapped, my xperia x1 exhibited maracas-like abilities which were attributed to it's vibrator
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vivoin3d:
You mean common as in some devices making that sound and other ones not? Just been to the T-mobile store and we tested it on a Xperia Z they had on display. It did the same sound when tapped on the back
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliffordlee:
Yes, it isn't a manufacturing defect. Whilst tapping on the front or back (especially towards the upper area of the phone), you'd hear a higher pitched 'tick' sound in addition to the tapping sound, but it's pretty subtle actually on all xperia zs that I've used this far..
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vivoin3d:
Thanks for confirming that. Any chance that you know if it's coming from the camera or the NFC? Just being curious seen that everything works as it's supposed.

And no wonder they start to be sold out in different countries! You have them :D

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] netter123:
Can someone tell me what specifically needs to be backed up and restored in titanium backup to maintain the call reject list after a wipe/flash of a stock rom? Actually using Cleanrom...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ManiakalSealion:
Alright, I have been looking for this since shortly after you posted this question. I think I may have found a solution as well. The reject list as well as reject messages and contacts are all stored in database files these can be located in the terminal with busybox or root explorer pro and of course root access.

Download Root Explorer (Pro is what I have)

Search Reject

Backup the ".db" files, I am not sure if you need the journals as well. I do not think you do as I assume you change the database itself as it is not a reference file like a dll or odex reference file, but its own database. I am asking that you backup your journals too just in case though.

You can browse to the db files by going to data/data/com.android.phone/databases

Arrrt! Arrrrt!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] netter123:
I was hoping there was a way to just do this via tibu, because I've already got the new rom flashed and didn't want to reflash the backup just for this. I think in the future I may just use root call blocker, which can be restored via tibu including to potential non tw devices in the future. Thanks for your help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] boe:
I'm not familiar with titanium backup - any idea if I can use it to restore just the block list from an S4 to a G3?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
In Tibu, if you look for "Phone" (the green phone icon dialer) is the application which saves the blocked numbers and messages in a sql database. Once moved to another phone you just need to restore "data" from the phone icon (tibu will give you an option to restore app+data, app or just data) and you should have the list back.

Hi guys,

Now that we have unlocked bootloader and proper custom recovery I am wondering is it would be possible to boot in recovery and boot system partition and all other partitions.

On my old Android phone we used to be able to boot the phone in recovery and once plugged with a LINUX machine (that could recognize EXT3 / EXT4 it would mount all the partitions making it very easy to do a full system backup and modify system files from the computer.

Would something like this be possible on this phone?

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] brainvision:

You have to remove battery for five minutes and then you b should not boot the phone but try to flash it again via Odin. So connect the phone to the PC and start Odin. Now execute the Download Mode combo and you should be able to flash it again..

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] brainvision:
np for being a noob; as I said more than one time, we are all noob once in a lifetime!! ;)

Anyway, you must understand that we need more info to help you: for example, how did you try to flash the custom ROM?

Try that: remove battery for 5 minutes, then not boot the phone, but try the CWM Recovery combo: CTRL - / Power / Menu.. If the phone is still alive, it should show you the download mode: a yellow triangle with Andy inside..
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Banana1238:
PLease explain what does this mean: CWM Recovery combo: CTRL - / Power / Menu.. ?

I really do not understand.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] brainvision:
R: GTi5503 won't boot

So read the how-to explaining all you need to know about that.. You can find them here or at the MadTeam forum, they are the best developers for our phones.

A combo is a combination of physical buttons to press together.. So for us the combo is button Volume Down + central big button + power button.. Keep them pressed till a yellow triangle shows up.. Now you are into Download mode..

Hello,

So whats going on is my QI wireless on my phone stopped charging. so i called verizon to get a replacement which they are overnighting tonight to me. so my question is, is there a way (step by step) to just put the Orignal Recovery Flash rom back on the phone and just lock the bootloader without resetting the phone? if so and do that. well the tamper disappear on the phone as well? ?? because they want the phone how it is. they dont want me to do a phone reset so they can see what cause the problem...

So 2nd question if i don't fix the rooting and ship the phone as is to verizon. Do you think i well get charged for rooting my phone???

Thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Flash a stock rom and kernel, restore all your apps and stuff, delete any root apps, remove supreuser/SuperSU, flash the stock recovery, and relock if you feel like it. If you all that you should be good.

Or just ruu and relock your phone. As long as the problem still persists they won't care that you wiped it.
[HTC Droid DNA] zone23:
I hope the new one doesn't come updated because if so you won't be able to root. I would restore the old one and see if the wireless charging works again if so you might want to keep it if the new one is updated.

The download on that post is a zip file, which you would flash in recovery to have a stock Rom. Then you would restore your apps, remove any root apps, remove superuser, put a stock recovery on there and relock.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] ruiferreiraaaaa:
Hi there,

i have tried some ROMs in my Galaxy Gio. But in the last few weeks, my battery is just crazy.

Even when its charged at 100%, it drains all the battery in 15 minutes with wi-fi or 3g.

I have already wiped batery stats and tried batery calibration, but nothing seems to work.

Help please. Otherwise this is just a rock
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] aphioner:
There are some possibilities about battery drain issues:

1-Your battery is maybe dead.

2-You got so many apps running in the background, they drain your battery's juice.

3-Your ROM is buggy.

4-Your kernel is buggy. In that case, it might be a power management issue.

5-You leave everything on (3G, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) so they drain the battery's power.

What you can do is

1-Flash stock ROM via ODIN or recovery mode,

2-Keep 3G, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth off when they're not needed. Instead of 3G, always use 2G. It saves a lot of juice.

3-Freeze unnecessary apps. But be careful with the system apps, don't freeze core apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] ruiferreiraaaaa:
Hi there.

Thanks so much for the answer. I think the best possibilities is the dead battery and the kernel buggy.

Can you post me a link for the original stock ROM with the right kernel, so i can see if this is the problem?

Because it's not about the apps. I almost don´t have any apps on the phone.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Nossie:
IT'S A SOMEWHAT strange admission but mobile operator O2 claims to have captured 80 per cent of the Irish market, 59 per cent of the UK market and 36 per cent of the Western Europe for 'voice enabled PDAs' with a mere 64,000 sales of its original XDA device.

So obviously it's a small market, with the Handspring Treo being the chief rival. Understandably O2 hopes to do better than this by introducing the xDA II before Xmas 2003.

One of the improvements not mentioned in the blurb is a detachable battery - considering battery life was its biggest weakness, hopefully this facility will enable users to carry around a working xDA all day. As anyone could easily have predicted, the XDA II will run Microsoft's Phone Edition of Windows Mobile 2003 Software for Pocket PC. Why is Microsoft using ten words when a single name would suffice?

Anyway, its processor will be faster using an Intel Xscale 400 MHz and feature 64MB of memory as standard. Usefully it will have both a digital camera and support for Bluetooth built-in but Wi-Fi connectivity will be an add-on.

Talking of add-ons, in Germany O2 has just released the XDA NaviKit which adds a GPS capability to the car kit it already markets. Another addition you can make is to download O2's xmail client which gives you access to Outlook information stored on a corporate Microsoft Exchange server. No POP3 version of xmail appears to be available. µ
