Hey guys, my phone is huawei ascend p1, there is no forum for it, so I'm posting here because these two phones are very similar.

I'm running miui, and the hidden thumbnail folder takes up 1.5 gb of space, and regenerates after I delete it.

That is so strange, because my photos and videos take up only 1.0 gb of space.

Can anyone help me delete that thumbnail data forever? Because it's so frustrating to never have free space :(

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Roni P.:
Im wondering if anyone can lead me to a thread or just tell me about dualbooting roms for the sprint sph l710. Ive searched for threads and post couldnt really find anything for my phone or that really made since.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Have you tried boot manager from the play store?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Roni P.:
No i havent tried anything yet lol. I like to learn b4 i experiment. But i know nothing about dual booting i just came across something online for it and wanted to try.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
I would check to see if boot manager supports the S3...theres a lite version you can test to see if it works

The way it works is that it installs one to /system and the other on your sd...then it just alternates between the two when you wanna boot into the other

But yeah, i came across this too and couldnt get it to work on my Shift :rolleyes:

Hopefully it works on the S3, i havent checked yet though so you can give it a shot by just downloading the app :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Roni P.:
The post i read said on the s3 u can dual boot 2 similar roms like m.o.a.r and t.p.r. for example. So my question is would i be able to use features from each rom at the same time?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
No, it would be like dualbooting on a computer...you're either logged into one or the other, theres no overlap
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Roni P.:
Ok i gotcha. But boot manager doesnt support the s3 only the galaxy nexus :sly:

[Sprint LG Optimus G] autoprime:
i believe our "/sdcard" partition is really /data/media. when you do a factory reset in stock recovery or the phone settings.. all of /data is wiped.. including /data/media ("/sdcard")

but why are you doing a factory reset? if you're unlocked you can use TWRP to do a "Wipe > Factory Reset" that will ONLY wipe /data.. while not touching /data/media("/sdcard").

the only reason to do a factory reset thru the stock recovery or thru the stock rom is if you're having sdcard issue or you actually wanna wipe the /sdcard clean.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
AW: [Q] Help! Nexus 7 not working, may be bricked

I doubt your nexus is bricked. Most likely you entered the APX mode. Hold down the power button for about 6-10 seconds, then it should exit from there.

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/APX_mode
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patil215:
Not working

When I hold down the power button, the device just turns off and comes back on again. The google boot logo shows for a few seconds, then I get a black screen.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
If you get a Google logo, that is a good sign - it means the bootloader is at least partially intact, possibly even in perfect shape.

I would proceed assuming that your battery is completely discharged.

Put the device on the charger overnight and then try starting it up while it is still plugged in to the charger. Hold the vol-down button and the power button continuously until at least one second after the Google logo flashes - this should put the device into fastboot mode if the bootloader is intact.

Something to remember is that Li-Ion batteries have a safety feature that prevents them from charging if the battery voltage gets too low. This is part of the reason why they are shipped with a 50% charge - they can sit that way for months and months only self-discharging at a very very slow rate.

OTOH, if you discharge the battery deeply and then let it sit for a long time afterward - especially if there is something like APX mode draining current - the battery voltage can fall below this "safety threshold voltage" and (even though it is still a "good battery" it can no longer be charged).

I'm not sure it the N7 can be started up while plugged in to only the charger; if it can, disconnecting the battery and trying to power up the device might be a way to discriminate "dead device" from "unchargeable battery".

good luck
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patil215:
I've tried this before

I've tried this before. I still get a google screen, even after fully charging it. Does this mean that the battery has become unusable? How can I fix this?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Then try it again. It takes less time than typing a post into XDA.

There are two ways to try it.

1) Hold both Power & Vol-Down simultaneously, and keep holding them down until at least 4 seconds after the B&W "Google" text appears on the screen

2) Hold only the Power button down continuously, but be ready! Press the Vol-Down button as soon as the Google logo appears! - you only get less than a second to do this. (If you are late, the bootloader tries to boot the boot partition). Also, you need to keep holding the Power button down (3 or 4 seconds) after this - wait long enough that you are convinced that the fastboot screen is not going to occur.

As for the battery, you can pop off the back case and use a voltmeter to CAREFULLY measure the open-circuit voltage. The normal 0%-to-100% voltage range is about 3.6v - 4.15v. Obviously if it won't take a charge then there is a battery issue. BE CAREFUL - avoid doing anything which could short the terminals even momentarily.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patil215:
I've tried holding down the buttons in various configurations at least 50 times already. As for the battery, there is current flowing, so I don't think this is a battery issue. Also worth noting is that if the device completely dies and I plug it in again, the charging battery sign appears (an empty battery slowly filling with white bars). Sometimes the device will give a black screen with little white sparks flickering randomly on it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Well there have been several posts on here with identical symptoms, where the affected owner later reported that their tablet mysteriously started operating normally.

Unfortunately nothing consistent seems to have emerged from those reports.

You could try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes and reconnecting it to see if that makes any difference.

But whatever you do, you're gonna eventually have to press some buttons & the procedure I suggested is diagnostic for the bootloader, even if the boot or /system partition are borked.

BTW In my experience that battery charging graphic shows the charge state of the battery - does yours show closer to empty or full?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patil215:
Mine shows the battery going from empty to full, like an animation. Also, I'm considering sending in the device for repair but I know that since the bootloader is unlocked it probably wouldn't be free.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patil215:
Also can you link me to any posts related to this? They might be useful in solving my problem.

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codehunter2000:
Were you able to get your computer to recognized your Nexus when you connected it? I had to jump through a bunch of hoops with my Win8 machine to get the driver installed, because it didn't pass Microsoft's signature check. Maybe you can use Wug's toolkit to try to fix it, or at least re-lock the bootloader before sending it in for repair?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patil215:
After spending a few hours, I was able to get an adb driver installed onto my computer, I also had to jump through a lot of hoops (I run win8 too). Running adb devices shows the nexus in recovery mode. However, I can't access the bootloader whatsoever. Typing fastboot reboot-bootloader just hangs, and I've tried several toolkits but they just hang. I'm not sure if I can do anything unless I can access bootloader. If you know anything I can do please tell.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
By coincidence I was charging mine right now (82%), so I shut it down and looked at that battery animation. (I have the v4.18 bootloader & Dec '12 hardware) First the "lightning bolt" symbol shows up in the battery icon, and the a little later, it performs a "filling the battery up" animation. But here's the important part: when that animation runs on mine, it starts from nearly, but not quite full (mostly white, not all black)- about 82%.

Can't tell exactly from the way you described your situation, but this (again) sounds like your battery is either not charging, or the bq27541 charge controller is reporting the wrong battery state.

Unplug the battery and let it sit for a while before reconnecting. If you have a safe way to measure the battery voltage, do so. You'll know right away if the battery is charged and the charge controller chip is lying.

---------- Post added at 08:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------

That is completely bizzare. The only way that a recovery can be started is via the bootloader. If the bootloader doesn't run, nothing can run. (The recovery is a booted kernel just as with the regular OS). Moreover, you saw the battery screen light up - if a recovery was (still) running, you would think something would show on the screen (although I guess recent versions of TWRP does screen blanking now). Very weird.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patil215:
Can I have the links that you mentioned about users having identical symptoms that "fixed themselves"?

I really don't want to send it in for repairs if it's going to cost me. I'm a student with not much money to spare :( . One of the reasons I bought the nexus 7 in the first place.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patil215:
I also fully charged the nexus 7 overnight. The battery icon now showed no animation because the battery was full (it first showed a picture of the lighting bolt battery, then a picture of a full battery) so I believe that the battery is working correctly.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I didn't make a record of them - you will need to search. What sounded very familiar was when you had said

What I recall - probably imperfectly - was that most of those cases seemed to spontaneously resolve when the owner charged their battery. And since your story started out with "black screen and little white sparks flickering", and "low battery" it sounded quite similar.

The various folks who mentioned this said things like "white lines flashing", "like sparks", or "like snow on an old-fashioned TV screen". Don't know if that will help you search, but they are in this forum (Q&A).

I also don't know if their tablets were in one particular mode or another (judging from a PC connected to the tablet - a black screen on the tab doesn't tell you anything) - I don't think any of them reported this.

As I said previously, that Black and White Google logo is produced by the bootloader. I just started my tablet in APX mode right now, and while the "charging battery" icon shows up when using the APX cold-start sequence (Vol-Up+Power), that B&W Google (text) Logo does not show up on the screen - the tablet goes directly from battery charging to APX mode (detected by looking at the PC - device shows up under "Other devices -> APX" in the device manager; VID/PID pair USB\VID_0955&PID_7330&REV_0103

)

So, my point is that it sure seems like your bootloader is there and capable of at least starting up at least part way.

What if your Vol-Down button was not working and you had a borked "boot" partition? If you had that combination, the bootloader wouldn't go into fastboot mode, as it would never see the Vol-Down keypress... and if your boot partition was borked, then you would never get any boot accompanied by a black screen.

At this point I think you should try observing the behavior of the USB port from the PC while trying to start it up... and even though you've tried it before, see if you can get the fastboot screen to appear. Perhaps there is something funky going on with your Vol-down button.

good luck
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patil215:
UPDATE!:

Not sure if this will help at all. But I ran adb -d reboot bootloader, and the device just turned off. Completely. I turned it on again by holding power for 15 seconds but I got the exact same thing as before (google with black screen following). Once the device was on and I connected it to Windows, windows said "Windows detected malfunctioning device". But I couldn't duplicate the results again. Running adb -d reboot bootloader just hangs.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Incredibly, extra-ordinarily bizzare. ADB on the tablet side is a daemon process that runs in userspace. You would need a completely functional kernel to be running on the tablet, and a functioning ramdisk too in order to communicate with the tablet. ADB does not talk to fastboot mode, nor any other mode of the bootloader.

IF YOU ARE REALLY SHUTTING YOUR DEVICE OFF AND THEN SOMETIME LATER YOU ARE ABLE TO TALK TO THE TABLET BY USING THE adb COMMAND (not fastboot), THAT MEANS THAT THE BOOTLOADER IS SUCCESSFULLY BOOTING SOME (unknown) LINUX KERNEL.

That truly beggars the question of why you are seeing anything on the screen after the google logo. Did the previous ROM not have a splash-screen?

Well, if you can communicate with ADB it might be appropriate to try:

adb reboot recovery

and see what this does.

If you can find the device in the Windows device manager, what would be really, really helpful would be the device VID/PID pair.

The way you do this is like this:

1) Identify the device in device manager; right-click on it and select "Properties"

2) Select the "Details" tab

3) In the "Property" Combo-box pulldown, select the Property Name"

Hardware Ids

If you can get those values we can identify exactly which mode the device is in. There is a decoder ring at the end of the first post in this thread

OK, I'm starting to get fatigued, as I offer up both things to attempt as well as avenues of exploration, and you seem to simply ignore all of it.

I know you have tried it several times, maybe even a million times. Please try both methods of starting the tablet to try and intercept the initial phase of the bootloader startup and see if you can get the tablet to go into fastboot mode.

It's OK to try it and fail. But in all this back-and-forth, not once have you said, "yes I tried it again and it still failed". Try it and report the result, even if it fails.

Please try it again - both methods. In the second method where you click the Vol-Down button only after you see the B&W "Google" text, you need to do it really quickly - and not let your finger off the Power button either for several seconds.

---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 PM ----------

PS

The "-d" option to the adb command should only be needed if you were running an emulator via the Google SDK on the same PC.

If that were the case, when you ran the command

adb devices[/url]

you would see multiple lines of output indicating multiple devices on the machine - one for each running emulator, and one for the actual hardware device (so long as it is actually booted into a recovery or OS and you have the right drivers installed).
