[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gendarmee:
I'll try to keep this short. Couldnt find anything similar on the forum hence posting.

-Had a 1 1/2 have year old stock i9000 but it turned extremely slow whilst booting. took anywhere b/w 15mins to 300min to start up. Though, once started up it worked fine, but slow with response to fast paced touch.

-To sort the problem I updated the firmware to the latest via KIES and cleared the cache using the Vol up + Menu + Power button. Cache cleared but saw this error rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2. So I reset it only to see the error again.

After reseting it I tried flashing it with cyanogen mod 10 aftter rooting it with CMR(gotted from the CM forum), but the the process failed after selecting the zip file. I thot the phone was bricked as it wouldnt boot up but was able to get it work again using this thread - [Firmwares]Official I9000/I9000M Firmwares collection

After this I tried installing CM a gazillion times after knowing how to renew the phone :) but it kept erroring out the same way( pics attached).

During this, I accidentally formatted the phone memory using the comp(took a good 1 hour to happen) thinking its the memory card. Now then, the phone doesnt recognise the internal memory. The options(mount/format) are greyed out and total and available space read,"unavailable" while the phone does show 13 GB space available.

When i connect the phone to the comp 2 drives show up. one with 13.2 GB space and one that which I cannot access. Any pics/music dumped on the phone is unreadable on the phone.

Can anyone help me with fixing this issue? I guess while reinstalling the stock OS I checked the "repartition" box once.

'have aleady tried resetting it/ installing the stock rom...but it didnt help. Please find pics attached.

This is my very first post on here and im new to android phones after having iphones for years.

I have a galaxy s3 and im keen to get it rooted so i can start doing some crazy stuff on it, more because im a bit bored and hacking is cool, lol.

Any step by step guides for beginners. And i do mean beginners. Some of the terminology used on here is baffling.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefan335i:
first you have to root it with Odin....

you need this... http://go.android-hilfe.de/v1/redir...n.html&cache=6M7D92TQIROG9CER78KG5PRCFURLI7CP

and this https://androidfirmwares.net/Tools/Download/8

start odin.... choose PDA and the File you download: CF-Root-SGS3-vX.X.tar

start your S3 with Power+Home+Volume Down.... and the security question you answer with Volume up

dont forget to connect USB Cabel

look at the Picture... it must be all like that

and then klick on start and wait

Odin say it to you when everything is finished. the window at odin will be blue...

[General Questions and Answers] thehui:
Hey guys, I work in a startup called Appfuel (appfuel.me). We just hit our MVP and we are looking for android developers willing to test our SDK. I started the startup with some of my friends to try and solve the problem of smaller app developers looking to grow their user base when they don't have enough money to market their awesome apps.

We want to create a network of apps that help each other gain users. The basic idea is "show an app banner, get a free app banner". Apps help each other out by promoting each other's apps.

For those who are already (or thinking about) using banner space in their apps to make money, we also offer a monetization option that we've built into the SDK. Using our dashboard we provide a neat little slider that allows you to choose what percentage of the banners that are shown in your app lead to:

- earning a free app banner somewhere else, or

- Straight up money in your pocket

You can register for a beta account here: dashboard.appfuel.me/api/v2/register

Documentation and sdk download here: docs.appfuel.me

You can check out the features in the dashboard using a demo account here:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MiuKing:
Every time I flash a new ROM, it seems like my 4G LTE signal always diminishes slightly for some particular roms. Why is that?

I figured that if my radios always stay the same then I shouldn't have that problem, but I always notice a slight decrease in bandwidth speed when loading icons in the market or loading webpages.

Is there a page where I can update the radio for our device?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bsmith0731:
I flash pretty often as well. Don't ever see a difference in my speed tests though. Maybe yours is isolated?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Eternalty:
It's probably not the rom seeing that usually roms don't flash modems. Sometimes tw roms flash modems because they come packaged with them but aosp roms don't usually come with a modem. You can try flashing one and see if it helps but there is no best modem it's all dependent on where u live

[LG Optimus 3D] boltthrower56:
For those who are having trouble installing cm10 on v28b official ICS Beta ,

It interestingly gives an error with the error code of 7.

I was able to circumvent the error by editing the updater-script in cm10's zip file.

Go to Meta-inf/com/google/android.

Then open "Updater-Script" in Notepad or Gedit for Linux Users.

Then remove the following lines from the script ;

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "p920" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "p920");

Now save the updater-script and make sure it's not in txt format. Erase extensions before putting it back again.

Now drag and drop it to it's rightful place in Meta-inf/com/google/android/

Flash that zip , you won't have that error.

In short , it totally runs with v28b.

Cheers!
[LG Optimus 3D] jocazmaj:
I did that before flashing EVERY CM based rom when I was on ported ICS.

The same goes for v28b.

So it's not just on v28b.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Narwhal73:
I've decided to experiment with basic android development and I built a simple boot animation for myself based on the Aperture Laboratories logo from Valve's Portal 2. I followed the tutorial posted here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1852621 and successfully built it, however when testing it on my computer I found that whenever it switches to another part, the animation moves to right.

I opened a different boot animation that does not have the same issue as mine and the pngs all have their graphics in the same position.

So is their something blatantly wrong with my file? Or should I just compensate by moving my graphics slightly to the left (want to avoid this as it means a lot of guesswork.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Yamahar6riding:
Okay, So I bought a used Note 2 off of Craigslist. Before I bought it I used it, checked the settings, it was 4.2.1 had multiwindow and so I thought, let me check my SIM card. I put my SIM card in and let the phone boot up. I saw the 4G LTE and I thought I was good. When it came to price I haggled a little but I told the seller how much I was willing to pay before he agreed to meet. Anyways, he seemed sore but took the deal. I get in my truck and leave. I go to unlock the phone and it has a passcode. I call the guy, no answer. I got a text back stating sorry. So because he felt ripped off I can't get in to the phone. Any suggestions?

hi guys i just bought a captivate from a friend and when i open the keyboard...the keys u,j,n, full stop ... are not working is it a digitiser screen problem?? or a software one??

any solutions to the problem???
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Val D.:
If the same keys are not working in portrait and landscape mode, than it is a keyboard (software) problem.

If the same spots of the screen do not register touch in any app, then it is the digitizer (hardware) problem.

do we have any custom keyboard in which that area can not be put to use???
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x0ne215:
That's not what he said.

Do those points on the screen (where the keys are that don't work), work on any other app? (ie go into the web browser, load up a random page, and try touching the areas that didn't work and see if you get a response. If not then it's the screen. If it does work then it's the keyboard. Swift 3 or w/e worked with my cappy, so you can try that if you want.

Any update on this? My phone started doing this and I'm not sure if it is from an upgrade or if something broke. Same deal; j n u don't work.

I'm running cyanogen 10.1.2 now and I enable the "show touches" on the developer screen. As I slide my finger from left to right, the vertical line stops moving and then two lines appear, and then it goes back to one line past the dead spot. Look like there is a region about 1 cm (1/2 in) that is a dead zone where the input doesn't work. It is dead from the top to the bottom of the screen.

This is on a captivate i897 that was upgraded from 2.3.5 gingerbread to cyanogen 10.1.2.

Cwm recovery/backup and restore/ choose wether you want to backup to internal or external sd (I suggest external)....this will basically make a complete system image that you can restore if anything goes wrong, also backup your efs and copy backups to computer.

Hello, One of the main reasons for me buying a galaxy s2 and switching to T-Mobile unlimited from virgin mobile was to use wifi hotspot in my car for streaming radio and the like. well when i got it i found out that not only did it not work, but i cant even pay extra to have it as it's not supported by my 70 dollar a month plan. I haven't rooted my phone or installed any other roms on it, it's just stock.

do any of you know which rom would support mobile hotspot so i can use it if any? id hate to go back to virgin mobile after spending all this money to have a fast network.

-thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] codecaine21:
I'm pretty sure almost all of them support free tethering. From my experience, any CM ROM will have free tethering. I have always been a die hard fan of CM and never really used any other ROM except the super sexy MIUI. Which I am using the JB version atm. The only issue with this ROM is the lack of WiFi calling but I will gladly trade WiFi calling for the sexiness that is MIUI! Pretty stable so far! No issues.

You should try CM9. Its an ICS ROM and is better than CM10 IMHO. Only because CM9 allows you to tweak it a bit more. Cyanogenmod is the most stable ROM out IMHO. Def a wise choice that you will not regret.

The thing about tethering is it uses your data plan. So if you have anything less than unlimited.... your most likely going to run into problems. That throttling crap is a pain in the butt! I had a 2GB plan and used it up in a few days due to YouTube and Pandora and it would take 10 minutes just to load Facebook. I also use T-Mobile but I paid the extra $10 a month for unlimited.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] brandoramo:
Just as codecaine21 mentioned, most of the custom ROMs out there have tethering capabilities. If you will be tethering via a laptop, be sure to see this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1677490 . You may need to change the UA string in your laptop's web browser to avoid being redirected to a t-mobile mobile web plan page. If you are tethering using a mobile device, you shouldn't have any issues. Hope this helps. :)

Ok. For those that ARE NOT running 4.1/4.2, The tethering provision has already been removed. The newest CM builds have a very difficult time using the Tether for Root users. Some people would like to say that all it takes is to change the device profile to Galaxy S2, but that doesn't work. And the OP said he is running stock, no root. Not many apps, if any, will work with his device on 4.0.4. Might have to downgrade to GB. That was the last time WIFI Tether for Root users worked for me.

Thanks a lot for all of your info. i manged to root my phone with no problems and flashed my phone to aokp_hercules_jb-mr1_build-5.

This is my first time flashing a new rom on a phone and this one seems pretty stable. I have been using it for a couple weeks now and there hasn't been any problems yet. If i didn't know i would think this build shipped with the phone. google now works great, USB tether works, and mobile hotspot works with some trial and error. however, when my ipod and ipad both connect to mobile hotspot, they do nothing. I was trying to stream pandora and tunein from from the ipod through my car using hotspot but i guess it's just a problem with iOS devices as other phones and laptops connect fine.

This will work for now until either the real JB comes out or I buy a nexus or new galaxy device. thanks.
