[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirroalex:
hi all,

i have problem with my galaxy tab 2 7.0 p3100, after i got updated from 4.0.3 to 4.1.2 via OTA i got black window on screen containing several phone information on it as you can see in the image i attached, i searched a lot in internet and xda found some solutions i tried all of them like

i tried even stock firmwares from sammobile and flashed it using odin but no result is there any other thing i can do about this problem?

P.S i tried hard reset and factory reset and wipe data from recovery ...
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squ89r97:
you need to be rooted to use those commands you tried earlier. If you're not rooted, try rooting and then perform those steps again
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirroalex:
Yeah i know, either of that solutions need rooted device so my device had already rooted before doing any stuff like that ... If my device was not rooted then neither i could use su command in terminal nor open system folders and make changes by root explorer... Any other suggestion?

P.S although it is clear that both solutions are exactly the same but i tried both method each time on fresh install, hope to achieve some result but in the end of the day the same black box ...
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squ89r97:
Been reading around about this as it's been bugging me

(if you still have this, it's a factory mode (Apparently) )

found a link to these two (possible) fixes - now i know both of them are not for your actual device, but you could give them a go to see if you have any results. Probably best to make a backup first.

I would like to retrieve the serial number from the XDA Device and put it in the registry. Any Idea how to do this in eVB or C++ (better for me is eVB but c++ is OK as well)

It would be nice when the code would put it in the registry but not really necessary, more important is to know where to get the serial number.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] itsme:
I don't think it is available in electronic form from the xda.

I think the only way to get it, is to turn the xda over, and read it. :)

you can get the imei. which is usually a good unique identifier too.

using RIL_GetEquipmentInfo
[Windows Mobile Software Development] benclewett:
I did have some success with the TAPI function lineGetGeneralInfo(), which certainly returns a valid O2 SubscriberID, and is quoted as being able to return the IMEI. Although I have never tried it. If you want some source code to get the O2 SubscriberID, drop me an email. I have seen lots of postings on other news groups about getting the IMEI, so it's certainly possible.

We all love portable devices because they provide flexibility. Ironically most of the time they are being used as desktop devices and are plugged in all the time.

This is potentially a problem because batteries wear off much more faster if they are not being used enough.

There are some hints for protecting your battery:

1- Use it only when you need to

2-Don't let it get hot!!

3-Don't store it with out some charge (I think about 75% is suggested)

share your experience here,

Nobody have a Samsung Galaxy S4 yet, so it's a bit early to talk about battery optimization specific to this model.

If you search XDA and The Internet you will find a lot of threads talking giving general advises about battery :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dannyada1988:
I agree with you,and for me,I generally charge the phone when it reminds me low battery rather than charge it until it has no battery.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirCanealot:
Yeah, the batteries only last for around 1000 full charge cycles and cost a MASSIVE $20 to replace.

I'm thinking I'll only use my phone twice a day for 5 minutes and only ever discharge the battery to 25% and only ever charge it to 75!,!!

[General Questions and Answers] Curlfix:
Hi,

First of all, great site you've got there, been checking it ever since I laid my hands on my first htc g1.

Secondly, and I hope I'm not double-posting about an issue already raised, as I've screened the threads quite thoroughly.

Here's the issue I have with my MK808B.

I've tried to start it with a USB ubuntu pendrive plugged into the USB OTG (I had saved some files I wanted to transfer, didn't realize it would mess things up).

Regular start up with this hdmi key is Google tv screen > android screen > home screen.

I get stuck at android screen, no matter how long I wait.

Out of nowhere, I tried to use another 2A power supply, as this had been advertised on other threads, no sucess... I also tried to start it with a paperclip pressing the reset button, didn't work...

Honestly, I don't know what to do exactly, I think it might have tried to boot ubuntu out of the usb stick...

I think I have no option left but to flash it (thus losing all that is installed already on it).

Is there any trick that could restore things the way they were? Any suggestion welcome.

Thanks for your time and help.
[General Questions and Answers] Curlfix:
Solved by flashing

Hi,

Since no mgic trick happened to save the day, I was left with no choice but to flash it.

Used rockchip batch tools, crossed my finger so the stick wasn't a clone with the mediatek chip, flashed stock plus goodies rom, waited 10-15 minutes, and voila!

good as new, got rid of the chinese apps I couldn't even log on, but got a full wipe of my data.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockstarr001:
Despite knowing better I installed the latest 4.1.2 OTA update on my Verizon droid razr maxx hd rooted running stock. Now my phone is bricked (maybe?) and I can't even turn it on, all it does is change to green on the notification LED when plugged in. It is currently unplugged and waiting to drain so I can maybe try again. Cant even get to the forced recovery screen (power + volume)

Prior to install I ran voodoo to unroot and made a titanium backup, but that's obviously of no help to me now. Prior research on this site indicated others had no problems when they did the same prior to OTA install. Please advise what's going on as I have very limited access to internet to research this issue AND I am having more serious issues with my bank (can't verify info since my normal text to phone verification does't work).

Any help appreciated.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kayteck1:
the is a SECURITY STORAGE process in my system running all the time. by All-in-one Toolbox app it is using approx 15% of processor time and 20% of battery time, so i assume it is using most of the energy helping in draining the battery. i was trying to switch it off, but after an hour or two it is back again.

can you advise if this is a system process and what does it do? and if it is not, which app did install it?

the tablet works fine when it is turned off :p

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lrm537:
I'm wondering the same thing. I've got a Note 2 and in the last 6 hours is used 26% of my battery. Not a clue what it is though. Could it not maybe be the Samsung backup feature? Do you have this set up? I do.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kayteck1:
actually it appeared the process is back just after kill... i just haven't refreshed the list :(

i switched off all backup services, restarted, and process still there.

can someone with fresh brand new note confirm that also have this process running?? you cannot see it in standard android application manager running tab view though. you sshoul use all in one toolbox or go to apps istalled view.

just to make sure it is not any app that installed it.

and also plese specify if you are using 4.1.2 as i think this process was not there in 4.1.1.

it also has a significant number of permissions when viewing a profile in app manager...

i am not android specialist, so maybe it is one of main android system proccesses which i am trying to get rid of... :p

any comments appreciated.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcothev:
Hello,

I have a question. I backed up my stock rom before installing a custom rom. Now i want to install another rom, so this time do I also have to back up the rom or its already backed up as I did it once the first time? So now that if I want to move to a new rom, i just

Select Wipe Data/Factory Reset. Confirm on the next screen.

Select Wipe Cache. Confirm on the next screen.

Select Advanced and then select Wipe Dalvik Cache.

and I should be good to go? Any other steps?

Best wishes,

Marc
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Nandroid makes a snapshot of your entire phone, so you can go back to the exact moment in time when you made it.

Unless you think you'll want to go back to the current custom ROM you are using then no, don't bother.

Factory reset won't wipe the system partition, you would be better off flashing Philz recovery which includes a wipe option for use between ROM's. It's a good idea to have the right modem & RIL for your country ready just in case your new ROM has the wrong modem included..

Make sure you have backed up the entire efs partition to your pc, dropbox etc.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcothev:
Thank you for your answer. I just have one more question. I did copy the efs folder, but when I open it in computer its just a blank folder. Does it have to be like that or did I copy it wrong?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Should contain a number of files .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Just copying the folder across in explorer won't save you if you need to restore, use Mike Skip's SG3 tool, the app from market or again Philz recovery to snapshot the entire partition. I'd advise having at least one version you can flash via odin.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatsleigher:
It's not necessary, but you should always back up your ROM before flashing a new one.

It's a personal thing, but I only do so when I do a major leap, like from Sammy to cm or cm to Sammy or one of those to miui or something like that. Other wise I don't because I like having free space on my SD cards.

Guys - I'm trying to get hold of an XDA2 and put it on the Orange network in the UK. The main reason for this is that you can have 2 numbers connecting to the same phone on the orange network (a.k.a. business and personal). But I also like the idea of HSCSD - i.e. 28.8K data speed - faster than any of the others.

If anyone has done this and has any comments they would like to share that I will be a happy man.

regards,
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
i may be way off here but i dont see what the problem should be

a gsm phone should work with any gsm operator

i bougth my xda unlocked and without a phone company licence

i put in my sim and typed in the pin

i put in the grps settings myself

and it were all set

so as far as i see any unlocked xda should work
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Oliver_T:
Hi,

I'm currently using an unlocked MDA2 on orange. No problems so far, phone works, gprs works. You mention HSCSD. This is not possible with the MDA2 - it is GPRS only. Or are you talking of carrying two devices, one for GPRS and one for HSCSD ? ;-)

Cheers,

Oliver
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] david-plc:
(Oliver - ) if you are using it GPRS with Orange then you would no doubt be able to have the 2 number service they offer.

As for HSCSD, this is a faster version of GPRS - see http://support.fujitsu-siemens.de/KnowHow/GB/Grundlagen/Funknetz/GPRS/GPRS-im_Vergleich.htm

The important figure is the realistic data rate in practical usage, and HSCSD appears to be 2-3 times faster. This means your bill will go up 2-3 times faster. But that's not the point is it?

Anyways, cheers d.

Hello,

I need your help for a problem. I tried 3 different roms but the problem still remains. When I play games or when I am using the internet for some time, my phone reboots! I do not know why is this happening so I want to tell me if anyone knows why is this happening or if there is an application that can tell me why my mobile restarted?

thank you in advance

Check if the firmware matches the required version for the ROMs you tried. It may also be a battery issue.

[HTC Sensation] ashkan-khatar:
Hello,

what kernel are you using? It can be for some reasons:

1. Kernel

2. Kernel settings, like max frequency, or UV amount.

3. ROM

4. Battery

But, if the firmware version is lower that what the ROM needs, it will strat a bootloop. The ROM won't start at all. :)

To check the firmware version (go Settings->About->Software information->More-> and the Baseband version (it's your firmware) or Power Off your phone and pres VOL Down + Power Button. If you say you've changed 3 kernels... try to change ROM, for me works perfectly ViperS 1.6.3 + Sultan kernel r16.5.
[HTC Sensation] sxizofrano:
No i paid attention and the change of rom and kernels didn't help as I said before so firmware is the only thing I didn't check.

Currently I am running on Viper Rom but it is not rom or kernel error I think. I tried ARHD with stock kernel, AOKP with sultan kernel and Elegancia with sultan kernel. Always I have the same problem. Reboots while I am playing or while I am browsing...

Is there any app to show me what is the error?

This is a screenshot of settings you told me

Where is the firmware version? Is it the right version?

This is from bootloader:

LOCKED

Aha! I think I found out what's doin so! Put this file in root of your SD Card and boot into your bootloader, then it'll ask you for the update. Accept it using vol up and reboot at the end and see whether it's worked or hasn't.

Then delete the file at the end. :) i think this is gonna solve that :thumbup:

Are you using the battery that came with the phone? If so, then that may be the cause of your random reboots.

Yes I am using that battery. Should I buy another? I bought this phone 2months ago. Could e battery problem? :confused:

And if is battery problem why the phone restarts only when I am playing or while I am browsing?

[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
The stock battery that comes with the Sensation is known to cause random reboots. If you want to make sure that it isn't something besides the battery then download

For sultan kernel, at the end of the log, it's said no error detected, but a bit upper it sounds like a sudden CPU1 freq collapse right after audios, then it goes off, then a mode 2 arch_reset says a force-hard.

Let these be for Sultan, I'm not sophisticated at all. Hopefully your issue fades away. :thumbup: good luck.

remove your sd card and turn on the phone without it, see how it performs. if worked flawlessly, then definitely it's the SD's problem. keep in touch and inform me of the result, then I'll tell you what to do, in case it was the sd card's issue. :)

good luck :thumbup:

I tried without sd but it didn't fix the problem. I think that it restarted faster than before. I tried 2 times and the phone restarted in about 2-3 minutes of playing...

Why is this happening?
[HTC Sensation] ashkan-khatar:
oops... can you exactly describe the moment? i mean how it happens, what exactly you see, for example, phone gets stuck at the screen which is showing right at the time before hanging, then after about 10-12 second reboots, or suddenly the screen goes dark?
[HTC Sensation] sxizofrano:
Sometimes stuck at the screen and restarts after 10-12 seconds like you said but some other times it just restart without get stuck but never goes dark :/
