[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaydaman:
Actually there is no need to reflash ROMs or even factory reset. I have read about such problems and they are usually related to cache. I do not know the exact name or type of cache which cause the problem, but I recall 2 solutions:

1) Install either Quick System Info Pro or ES Task Manager. Use the 'Clear cache' function inside these apps then restart device.

2) If you do not like to install these apps, then you can boot into Recovery mode & select "Clear cache' from the recovery menu.

I have read these solutions on several forums, including here at XDA Developers. I am not certain if they will work as I myself have not encountered such problems. Maybe if anyone does & needs help, do feel free to try these solutions?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JavaJunkay:
Hello Gnex owners!

I've been using my Nexus S for some time now and I believe it's time for upgrade. I was thinking Gnex because it is cheap but I need your opinion. If there are any previous Nexus S users here, you do know that after Jelly Bean arrived, NS became too laggy to support it and it was terrible. People reverted to ICS.

So,

1. How fast is your phone today on 4.2.2, how often does it lag, crash and so on...

2. How fast is it compared to Nexus 4 and Galaxy S3?

Selling my Nexus S and adding not a lot of money does get me Galaxy Nexus, so I'm pretty excited. Or get Galaxy S2/Note 1? Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:
1.Phone is as fast as i need it to be. It lags occasionally if i play a game like gta iii, but I'm not a big gamer.. Doesn't ever seem to crash, unless i'm experimenting.

2.As far as side-by-side comparisons, The nexus 4 is only about 4 months old; the galaxy siii is about 11 or twelve months old, and the gnex is about 16 months old; Things change quickly in the phone world. So you have to keep in mind the time frames.

If you're seriously considering a galaxy sii, I'd go for the galaxy nexus. Why haven't you mentioned something like the htc one x, etc.?

All in all, I think I'll be quite happy with this phone for another year or so.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wuodland:
No lags on a daily normal usage for me. Even when there is lag while running a lot of apps it‘s nothing that‘ll make you crazy.

None of the games like NFSMW or GTA III lag or slowdown noticably.

If I were you, coming from the Nexus S I‘d have upgraded to the Nexus 4 than the GSIII or even the Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b1337:
for the right price def do it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FoleyRose:
I made the switch from Nexus S to Galaxy Nexus because of the JB lag you mentioned, and I couldn't be happier. I never even considered getting a Nexus 4 because my phone works so well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chevlar:
Former ns4g user here. I was in the exact same situation as you and made the leap back in December. Speed and smoothness are fine for me (don't play games). I think for the money/android experience, there's no better way to play it than to annually upgrade to 1-gen old nexus devices. I'm generally happy, but must say that I thought the ns was the ideal form factor. I even went back to my ns4g on a slimmed down Rom for a while before finally deciding to sell it. I just use web,email, maps, and a few apps, so the larger screen didn't add much to my user experience. Whatever though, I digress ... if you get the gnex, you'll be happy with 4.2.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bc760:
I'll be honest and say that i do miss my Nexus solely for development purposes. You'll always be ahead in the game with the Nexus. I have a S3 now and the only complaints I have are development community, I wish it was bigger. There is a ton of pros and cons though so you have to go with what suits your needs not everyone else's. My main reasons for getting rid of it were camera and no external SD card but I should have kept it around to mess with. All around it was an awesome phone though and if for some reason my S3 broke and that's the only phone I could go for I would be just fine with it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
I like the phone so much I just bought an used one for the wife.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PUTALE:
personally my opinion is that if you plan to keep the phone for about 2 years or so, spend extra 100 and get a Nexus 4. The reason is that while the Galaxy Nexus is fast enough, with new software update, it can bring it down a little bit. I have used Galaxy Nexus and feel it is a bit slower than the newer Snapdragon S4 based phones due to the CPU. In addition, the Nexus 1GB RAM is fine now but with next round of OS update, it may not be.

It is no doubt that Nexus 4 should support the upcoming Key Lime Pie (or whatever is called) and probably so would the Galaxy Nexus. While Galaxy Nexus will run KLP fine, I think you may possibly ended up feeling that it is a bit too slow once the software hits while the Nexus 4 won't. In addition, with N4, you would also be able to keep it a bit longer and enjoy the future software updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
if you're on verizon, gnex is a good bet to switch. i was in verizon yesterday and none of the phones they have interested me. if you're looking for a gsm phone, nexus 4. i'm on verizon so nexus 4 is not in my future, but i'm very happy with my gnex being over a year old already.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tomzefi:
Verizon has nexus 4
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mikelee616:
I got my phone around November 2012 for free with Verizon. Though a year old I have to say that it is still blazing fast. If your looking for a great looking phone, this is it. There is a bunch of phones that are much faster than the Galaxy Nexus but don't let this deter you. It runs 4.2.2 super smooth under clocked. I'm sure it will run the next update just as fast. The nexus 4 is a great phone but depending on what you do, the extra speed is a little overkill.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JavaJunkay:
Nope, I'm in Europe, so I'm one of those who have to buy unlocked phones, no contracts or anything. Personally, my Nexus S is pretty fast, but after using my sister's S3 for a while the screen became to small, the phone itself became too small. I gave it a thought and I don't think speed will bother me that much on it. I won't play any games except Temple Run or something like that, I use Nexus 7 for high quality games like Real Racing or Deadzone.

I can sell Nexus S for 150€ and get new Galaxy Nexus for 260€. Nexus 4 is only sold by retailers here, and you can imagine how big the price is. At least 400-450€, Note 2 and S3 are cheaper! Evil retailers. Second hand Galaxy Nexus is no more than 220€.

So yes, thank you all for replying!

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] taneli:
My device: XDA O2, with wallaby boot loader 5.17

Tried to flash RSUv1.15(GPRS_421_ENG_O2) into it. Update froze at either 48% or 53%. Tried it 10 times over, while waiting infinitely but the device just auto-booted itself after each froze. Deleted the autorun files from the startup director on the XDA. After which it did not try the update at bootup anymore. Instead the device is now dead :

On boot it just gives a white screen and everything fails / nothing can be done. The device cannot be connected through USB, and nothing on either SD card of MM card will install.

I tried to flash wallaby-patch-tool.nb2 to fix the key problem with 5.17 bootloader but as GSM fails at the bootloader: it just ignores the disk. I tried the patch tool on a SD card and on two other MM cards it does not work on any of them: as the damn bootloader checks GSM first (and gives GSM ERROR)

Also since the device is trashed it does not apper to load its battery, I assume it must be quite dead soon. (is there any way to load a battery on a software-trashed XDA O2??)

I have another fully working XDA O2 at my disposal. That machine is running older version of CE, GSM and 5.15 Bootloader. I tried flashing the OS from that device to the SD card, succeeded in getting it there - but the broken device will not flash itself from the SD card since it has "wrong key", and the patch tool fails to work because the GSM fails before it even checks any cards in 5.17..

The GSM cannot be copied to the SD card from the working device, because copying the GSM requires connecting something called RS232 and running some program nobody has heard of..

Is there anything I can do? I even tried copying the 5.15 bootloader from the working device to SD, and flashing that to the 5.17 broken device: no success, since it fails the GSM at bootloader startup, and the card has "wrong key" anyways.

How can I recover from this?

When you do reply, please reply in full generously abundant and exquisite detail. I am unable to follow instructions such as "just do this and that" if you do give instructions please be very detailed: tell me where to load the files (paste the links) and preferably go step by step through the process.

I have noticed that some other people have this exact same problem. If you give good enough guidance maybe we can create a help file to address this same problem in the future as well.

Thank you in advance!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] taneli:
A further problem with the other XDA

A further problem emerged with the other XDA:

- now it only boots to bootloader, and refuses to power up properly

pressing the power button does nothing. Soft reseting does nothing. Hard reseting does nothing. The only thing that seems to work is pressing the powerbutton+softreseting at the same time == entering the bootloader mode. There the machine passes all tests and seems to be fully functional. however refuses to power up.

I tought maybe the SIM slot is improperly closed, tried closing it better, and manually pressing the switch inside - doesn't work either.

Also tired inserting, taking out, and reinserting the XDA to the cradle, with either the power button pressed at the same time or not (this seems to work sometimes when the XDA O2 in unresponsive) but that doesn't work either.

What to do? how can the device be powered up?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] taneli:
Still stuck with this same situation

Hi all,

I'm still stuck with this same situation. So far nobody has even tried offering any help to me. What can I do? Do you think I should just give up and toss the damn device to the nearest body of water I can see, or what?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] itsme:
look for "repair.zip" in the forum, for some people this helped.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] taneli:
Tried that. That doesn't work since that repair requires that the device works as far as the today screen - my device dies out well before that. As described above it dies right in the start: just frozes up and displays a white screen with a blue bar in top, and after that does nothing, runs nothing, reacts to nothing, etc..

Any other ideas?
[Windows RT General] jtg007:
Just today, the Windows Store has stopped me from installing apps because my Firewall is not running. This is on a jailbroken Surface RT.

Trying to turn on Firewall from the action center gives a generic error.

Trying to turn on Firewall from Services results in Error 1068: The Dependency or Service Group Failed to Start (The Firewall Service is not running, even though it is set to "Automatic." This error persists across reboots).

Similar problems have been fixed before by going into Device Manager, showing hidden devices, and finding the Firewall driver under "Non-Plug and Play Devices". However, despite showing all hidden devices, no "Non-plug-and-play" anything can be found.

Any suggestions? Please?

UPDATE: Did a refresh and fixed it. Weird problem, not sure what caused it.
[Windows RT General] jtg007:
Interesting.

After the refresh, my Windows Store problem went away, although a new one surfaced (excuse the pun) immediately.

Upon reboot after installing updates, the "Configuring Updates" screen freezes briefly and brings "Configuring Updates Failed: Reverting Updates" screen that stays there forever (at least more than 4 hours).

Not sure if this is related to my original problem, but any help would be appreciated, as the only way I can boot into my tablet is by either a refresh or reset via recovery.

you need to format /system and wipe cache and davlik cache when updating to a new rom version. no need to factory reset

if you still cant, delete and create the rom slot again
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RBSIS:
Should I format /system before or after installing the update?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TheMrcool212:
no, beacuse if you format /system it will remove the rom system file

So I should format /system first, wipe caches, and then install?

yes

I got back to RLS6 then went to BMM, formated /system, wiped both caches, installed the zip, then the gsm patch, wiped the caches again, and I still get a black screen with the red light on.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] TheMrcool212:
redownload the RLS7
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RBSIS:
Alright I will do but do you think BMM telling me it can't find the img for system 1 is related to that? Because when I install RLS 6 it works without a hitch.

My kids were sick this week (they're 4) and wound up vomiting all over my phone while I was holding them......Nothing I did would get it to work.

I took out the battery, took off the back, and removed sim and mem card.

I began slowly taking apart the internals, piece by piece. Cleaning everything with a q-tip and alcohol.

After some serious cleaning and replacing both cards, my phone is back in working order. - I regretted not getting insurance, but I don't think it would have been covered anyway.

It is working, a few quirks here and there. When I open the stock browser, the brightness dims and some slight crackling with the headphone plug-in, but for the most part all is good.

Any advice for "things to look for" after a wetness recovery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrevankyle:
The screen dimming is a power saving setting and the crackling probably isn't really fixable without replacing the port. Most of the quirks you might find will be with speakers/mics as well as the sensors. Maybe some ghost touches if water managed to get in between the screen and the digitizer
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bodoct:
Have the water indicators been tripped? There are two white stickers you can find one on the battery on the top right and a circle hole above the sim card. If they are red that means the stickers are tripped and not much you can do. If they are white you can go to an ATT service store and you might be able to get it replaced for free.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrevankyle:
Pretty sure washing them with vinegar changes them back to white. Did on the captivate anyhow

They were still white, I guess. The At&t guy traded phones and said, "If the techs find something that's not warrantied, you might be charged $650. You still want to send it out?" I did it, no charge. Thanks for the tips everyone.
