[LG Optimus 2x] mourin:
Guys, installed a modcyanogem (MIUIv4_3.1.11_newbl) successfully, but when I restart, gets into an infinite loop in the lg logo.

I tried to restore the backup q had done, but gave error in assembly.

Does anyone have any idea I can do?

ps: already tried putting the original 4.0.4 rom back but from the following error: see picture
[LG Optimus 2x] bitdomo:
It is a common problem. It mostly happens when you try to flash stock rom without battery.

Baseband flashed successfully, so what you have to do is start again smartflash, but this time select the Ap.bin file only. Leave the cp.fls section blank. Then press start.
[LG Optimus 2x] mourin:
Hello bitdomo, did the procedure you told me and it was successfully completed.

Thanks for help.

ps: look at the picture.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soapbubble:
Just curious, but coming from a Note 2 and a GS3 I thought sharing photos with NFC was a S-Beam thing and other devices were contained with just web pages, and other smaller information. I believe I read a review on the One recently that said you could do photos. Can you?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spitfire2425:
S-beam is just samsungs changed version of android bean which uses Bluetooth when Samsung uses WiFi direct. If you turn off sbeam and keep android beam you can use NFC to send files to other people with NFC. Its not just samsungs thing.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soapbubble:
Nice. My last phone with NFC never gave me the chance to test sending images but I thought I remembered to try one from S3 to a HOX and it didn't work. Its a slight gimmick to me since ive never shared a photo with NFC regardless but it's cool to be able to do.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spitfire2425:
I do it all the time with my s2 skyrocket with my nexus 7. The s2 on jelly bean leak uses s beam and they don't work together, samsung made all those adds for people like you that don't know much about nfc and made them think only samsung phones could do that. Dumb really, also nfc has a lot more cool features other than file share. For sure something to research.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
Yeah NFC sharing is just all gimmick. NFC *alone* don't have the capability to send large files. And it doesn't even have a long range of reception so they either utilize bluetooth or wifi for file sharing. So if you ask me I'll just use wifi or bluetooth directly instead than NFC. For me NFC is just for secured transactions.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spitfire2425:
Its fun to show off to iPhone users with it. Plus it's faster than blue tooth, wifi, or using a computers when it comes to a picture or something.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kevlo911:
Does anyone know how to get pictures to save to the external SD?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FXVIZI:
It should have prompted you upon launch that it was setting memory card as storage.

The setting is located at the bottom of the camera "menu". Tap the button in the top left then scroll all the way down.

Hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] epagib:
Just to clarify - use the S3 camera first. That one will have the prompt asking if you'd want to save to SD card.

No prompt if you use the note 2 camera.

In camera, under storage in menu, set to external sd.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kevlo911:
yea weird, yesterday it was a different camera (the one with the bubble shot or w/e)

and this morning the regular camera popped up with the "normal" menu's and it asked me for SD card storage

i guess i should played around with it more
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fruitFly:
I reset my twrp rooted note 10.1 back to factory, cleared dalvik and internal storage, flash a new ROM yet it stil maintains the old folder structure from my previous ROM. I want as little as possible in my folder structure. I'm afraid if I delete certain folders (eg TWRP) it will render my tablet useless as I might not even be able to boot into TWRP.

Factory reset says it wipes "data" (does this mean internal storage?) and when I clear internal storage too I still have pictures etc. from my old ROM, why?

I have a .face and .thumbnails folder that I'm not even seeing in the file manager on the system. Is it safe to delete these?

How do I clean the clutter? I would really appreciate if this is demystified a little.
[Networking] ArcticCat:
Hey all,

I finally found how to sync with your XDA II via bluetooth, the stuff is that you should initiate the paring with your pc from the XDA (or imate) and not from the PC, not only that

go to start settings systems then click on Bluetooth settings,

then click on start under (Bluettoth ActiveSync Setup) your xda will ask you to bind to the device you want to connect to with active sync. and that's it :)

take care all :D
[Samsung Captivate Glide] RodimusConvoy:
I learned the Stratosphere II existed like a week ago and I've been researching this phone like crazy. Seems like a better version of the Glide. Is this essentially an unofficial update of the Glide? The specs seem to match up, with the only thing lacking on the Strat's side is the megapixels (the Glide has 8, the Strat 2 has 5) and the Strat 2 having a dual 1.2GHz CPU compared to Glide's dual 1.0GHz CPU.

I've been looking to get a Glide for a long time. I've been keeping up with this board for updates and everything. And while it seems like an awesome phone, the GPS problems worry me. But, there are plenty of guides here so when I finally get a Glide, I can see if the GPS solutions here work.

But the Stratosphere II...I mean its so new I don't think anyone has figured out how to root it yet. So no custom roms for the time being, but I'm sure it would be coming as more people learn of its existence and start working on it.

My main cause of concern is the GPS, as I travel to Mexico alot. I already have service there that I maintain here (Movistar) by going to a tienda every three months and putting a few dollars on it. While you can't root the Stratosphere II, I could at least slap the SIM card in there and use it (apparently if I buy it outright Verizon can/should/will unlock the GSM functionality for me) until that magical moment does come when a root guide finally pops up online. :D And I could be wrong but I think there's no GPS issues with the Stratosphere II.

So that's where I am. Get the Glide for pretty cheap ($225 online), with the ability to root and flash roms but with shaky GPS (and apparently no Jelly Bean?), or get the Stratosphere II for not pretty cheap ($445 directly from Verizon) with no ability to root or flash roms, but, great (as far as I know) GPS? Thoughts, comments, suggestions?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bobbinthreadbare:
I knew about the original Stratosphere but not the 2. It looks like a nice device. Personally I wouldn't buy a device without root, let alone some sort of dev community. I can pretty much confirm your GPS worries about the Glide. It blows and there is no nicer way to put it. I have tried tweak apps, modding files myself, even copying the conf files right from my N7 to it. It still takes like 2 minutes to get a lock and loses it rather easily. Compared to my N7 which takes under 10 seconds.

The Glide is a good phone though. Our dev community kind of sucks, being so small and relying on key people to do most of the work. But at least we have one and a pretty decent JB builds.

I'm not sure what to suggest. If you can live on stock without root and such, the Strato 2 looks nice. But after having my Glide for nearly a year, I still really like it. But I don't use GPS much with it either.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dincdoes.me:
I sell for all carriers so I'll give you my thought.

Glide is an older device with a tegra 2 processor and operates on GSM. It has an older touch wiz on it meaning the skin and other tweaks Samsung applied to the gs3 isn't all their.. The strat 2 is a well built phone slightly smaller than its older brother. But had newer touch wiz along with newer things Samsung threw in. I'm not going to go into a lot of tech specs of the two phones since u can do that but if I had a choice it would be the strat 2 because of the newer touch wiz which is faster and nicer to look at. Plus the over all look and feel much nicer on the strat 2.. the glide is pretty bulky you really must consider who you want to pay monthly and who has better coverage Verizon or AT&T?

Good luck Bud.:beer:

My battery is dead now.. Have fun!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] RodimusConvoy:
Thanks for the advice. I have a rooted Epic 4G (hence my name), so I know the joys of having a rooted phone. :D But I want to switch to a GSM device (more on that below in dincdoes.me), but unlike you would rely on the GPS a lot.

The thing is, I want to go to Net10, do their BYOD program, and basically have AT&T service through Net10. Why? Net10 has that international coverage plan, its like $60-$65 a month, and I can call my friends in Mexico (via an 800 number I believe) and talk as long as I want (well as long as THEIR minutes will allow). And it makes no difference if its to a landline or a cell phone. Also when I go TO Mexico, just swap out the Net10 sim card for my Movistar one.

Also, at least in NC, the AT&T coverage is second only to Verizon. Definitely better than Sprint, and T-Mobile might as well not even exist with its shaky coverage.

The GPS function is VERY IMPORTANT to me, especially in Mexico, and I have seen my friends in Mexico's Androids use GPS (Google Maps) to find stuff just fine. So...I may have to go ahead and get the Strato 2 and just live with it being unrooted for a while. :(
[Samsung Captivate Glide] rogernizzLe:
That's a tough decision. If time wasn't a factor, I would wait a month or two to see what happens with the i415 (Stratosphere) within the XDA community. Unfortunately for qwerty keyboard lovers, the phones we want don't get as much hype and publicity as the candybar phones. Otterbox and CyanogenMod barely acknowledged our phones. We happened to get VERY lucky getting this much support for the i927 (Captivate Glide) as the early stages were definitely desperate.

I'm currently running the Vanilla Rootbox rom and even though there are still a few bugs, the essentials work well enough for me not to upgrade. I heavily use GPS as I have a memory of a fish and it works flawlessly.

Long story short, after watching the i927 go from a simple request in a Captivate forum to it's own forum with no devs to what it is today, I would go with the Captivate Glide. Who knows if the i415 will get also get lucky with support or not? After all, qwerty phones are a dying breed.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] RodimusConvoy:
Thanks for the advice. Well...what I am considering is getting the Glide (the Rogers version, which it appears that you have) and just root and put a rom on it (I would like one that mimic's the Jelly Bean, but if the Vanilla Rootbox you're using is fine, I may try that), and use that until more development pops up for the Stratosphere II. If you have the Rogers Glide, and your GPS problems are nil...I don't know, I'm considering it. I probably should have mentioned if I get the Glide it would be the Rogers version (somehow its cheaper than the AT&T version, which costs more than the Stratosphere II! :eek: ).

I could do that, or just get a Strato 2 and live without root/flashed roms for a while (but if it already has Jelly Bean may not need it). Thinking, thinking...

Is time a factor? Well I plan on going to Mexico sometime in April, so kinda sorta. But since I plan on making regular trips, not really, I guess.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bs27975:
5-row keyboard!

If all other things were equal, and they're not (in terms of development progress here on xda), I would go for the 5 row keyboard. One of the things I found very irritating very early on with the glide is that every time you type a number, you have to hit Alt first. Given the number of characters and numbers in text these days, this gets really old, really fast.

If I had had more patience, and thought more deeply at the time, I suspect I would have preferred to wait.

CDN$0.02.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] RodimusConvoy:
:eek: I forgot the Glide only had four rows. As much as I've been using my Epic 4G...well it would be a learning curve to go from 5 rows to 4.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Nardholio:
Stratosphere II has a locked bootloader and hasn't even been rooted yet. Also, while I haven't seen any reports yay or nay, it probably suffers the same domestic GSM lock all other Verizon phones have. It is possible to counter this, but not without a lot of dev support and root.

I switched from Captivate Glide to the Galaxy S Relay 4G. It has 5 rows, supports AT&T and a few other odd UMTS frequencies (Wind Mobile for instance) and has a fairly decent (but small) dev community with a working unofficial cyanogenmod 10.

The other choice is the Motorola Photon Q for Sprint, which comes comes with GSM capabilities, but you have to remove the pre-soldered SIM chip and add a SIM card adapter. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1929143 I have seen no information on whether it is locked domestically for GSM. It can be reflashed to Cricket and PagePlus on the CDMA side as well, and there is a CM 10 for it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1929143
[Samsung Captivate Glide] RodimusConvoy:
Thanks for your reply. That no one has tried to root or unlock or even just manipulate the settings on this phone, which to me appears to be the true [yet unofficial] successor to the Epic 4G...blows my mind. :eek: Is there just no interest, or people don't know that it exists...I just don't understand.

Well my gameplan was to have a phone I can use both in the US and in Mexico...in Mexico it wouldn't be a big deal, but here any GSM (like from Net10) will go straight to the T-Mobile network since its a T-Mobile phone. And T-Mobile sucks and doesn't appear to be getting any better. I don't know how good or bad the 4G functionality is, but its not enough to have me go back to T-Mobile. That was a year of hell, not just from the almost non-existent coverage but the idiotic customer service as well. My uncle still has them and he complains about them all the time, but he's with them for a reason (something about coverage in Canada, I forget).

I'm not good at soldering. Plus if I mess up, gotta buy another phone.

Dang. Looks like I'll have to stick with the Glide for now. :( Well, I'll have to GET the Glide, then stick with it for now. :D
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Nardholio:
Um, I hate to break it to you, but your gsm service depends on which sim card you have. I am using the Galaxy S Relay just fine on AT&T.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] RodimusConvoy:
Not the way Net10 worded it, and I've spoken to them many times. They said it depends on the phone itself, as far as the BYOD program goes.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] JoeFresco:
QWERTY Geek here

I've had the following QWERTY phones:

OG Droid

Stratosphere 1

Stratosphere 2 (current phone)

And my wife had the Captivate Glide until she dropped it recently.

Here are my thoughts:

1. Out of this list of phones, the Stratosphere 2 is best, no question. It's slightly faster than the Captivate Glide, has NFC, has a 5 row keyboard, has Verizon LTE, and has Bluetooth 4.0. There's hardly anyone even talking about this phone, much less getting dev/root work going. Sucks, too, since this is basically a Galaxy S3 Lite w/ QWERTY. Everything about this phone is solid.

2. The Captivate Glide GPS's sucked. And the ICS upgrade was an utter disaster. The new ICS upgrade isn't as bad, but the GPS on this phone is definitely much worse than any other phone on the above list. My wife stopped using it altogether and would just use Google Maps like I did back in the iPhone 3G days.

3. I liked the Captivate Glide's keyboard, but my wife hated it. She preferred the Stratosphere 1's keyboard and then the Strat 2. And in case you are wondering, I was barely surviving on the Strat1 when I upgraded in January... a 1GHz single core 512MB RAM phone just doesn't hold up any more, and battery life was awful (about 10 hours with light use, 16-20 hours with no use).

4. A Jellybean (4.1) update just came out for the Strat2. I've been holding back on upgrading due to my wife's horrible experience with ICS. In researching it, I discovered that FoxFi would apparently be broken and 4.1/4.2 has issues with a lot of N-only routers. I've been happy with the Strat2 and ICS, so I won't upgrade. But I so wish Cyanogen would pick up the slack.

5. Are we sure the Strat2 has a locked bootloader? My understanding is that Samsung phones have an unlocked bootloader but switch a flag if you change the ROM so warranty can be denied. Can someone verify?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bs27975:
Thank you very much for the note, some good and interesting stuff in here.

Any comments, Glide vis a vis Galaxy S Relay 4G? [e.g. you say Stratosphere 2 is basically a Galaxy S3 Lite w/qwerty - I've yet to come across a similar 'rating' for the 4G. I believe Glide would be S2 (Sii). I don't know what the 4G is.]

For me LTE vs anything else doesn't matter - I don't do data. Wi-fi, yes, so the N only issue is biting me. (Which I think is a phone hardware, not a software, issue. Guessing.) Much the same for Bluetooth - most any bluetooth, and within, say, 10', does what I need it to do. Can you say what Bluetooth 4 brings to the party?

New ICS upgrade? (Link?)

Can you comment on that horrible experience? I've yet to upgrade from Gingerbread to something ICS here, so looking to be forearmed with (your) forewarning, here.

I'm now wondering if this explains what I'm seeing on a certain router - across multiple phones and laptop. It's becoming a PITA. At home I get around some problem by setting a static IP.

Is this a common experience for people, across hardware - be it phones or laptops?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] JoeFresco:
The Galaxy S Relay 4G looks like it basically has the tech of the Strat2, so I'd expect them to be equivalent. It looks like it has a physical mashup of the Captivate Glide and Strat2. Assuming you like the keyboard, the S Relay 4G looks like a better phone than the Captivate GLide. I have no experience with this phone.

Bluetooth 4 lets you use super low power bluetooth devices. StickNfind.com (I bought 6) is the first one I know of, but there will definitely be more over the next year or two. Lots of workout type devices and other sensors will start using it. It first arrived in phones in the iPhone 4s.

The Captivate Glide's original ICS upgrade was over Kies and was pulled due to horrendous user response. You can read threads all over by googling. Here's a taste: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1879432

Basically, GPS went to completely useless, phone app crashed constantly, contacts app crashed constantly, keyboard backlight never lit up, text messages coming in 15 times even though only sent once, and more. Most were fixed in a latter OTA update, though the text message thing still happened. The GPS also would sometimes go in and out of lock and wasn't really dependable.

Until the OTA update came out, I was about to have my wife take the phone back to the ATT store to exchange for a Gingerbread model under warranty. Incidentally, a month ago she dropped it and broke the screen and I replaced it with an LG Escape, which she LOVES (no qwerty). She never liked the Captivate Glide keyboard and considers the LG Escape's software keyboard to be just as good and it resolved all her other problems.

The router problem I'm seeing is only on phones that were working fine with ICS and then were upgraded to Jellybean. Here's a couple links:

https://community.verizonwireless.com/message/950253

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34786

What you are experiencing sounds like a poor/dying router. It's definitely not normal. A firmware update may resolve the problem or you may try installing ddwrt.

Oh, here's a thread about rooting the Strat2 with no success yet:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2078615
[Samsung Captivate Glide] JoeFresco:
Incidentally, I just tried to root the Samsung Stratosphere II i415 via SRSRoot, which claims it can root that phone. Unfortunately, after 3 attempts, I have nothing but failure. It tries to use root4, 4b, and 5 regardless of whether all root options or smartroot is selected.

Sucks because now VZ is forcing the JB update down. My options were simply to install now or defer 5 days. I chose the defer option, but from what I'm reading, that's a one time deal. So if I can't get rooted in the next 4 days and stop it, I'm going to be running JB whether I like it or not.
