Backup

I am unsure if you will lose the data, but backup, backup, backup. I seem to think I had that issue a long while back, but I really don't remember. I always proceed with the assumption that something will go wrong because things do go wrong and you will want to be prepared for that. Here is how I backup my system before every flash or update, It takes a little time, but the first time you "need" it, you wont lose a thing(it has saved my bacon several times):

Things you will Need:

Titanium Backup

TWRP or CWM recovery

ADB - scroll to attached files and download the ADB package.

1. Open Titanium backup, tap the batch icon in the top right, and run all user apps + system data backup

2. Once Titanium is complete, reboot into your favorite recovery and perform a nand backup

3. Once that is complete, I do a full SDCARD backup to my computer through ADB using

adb pull /sdcard/ /destination/

/sdcard/ being the source and /destination/ being where your backup is stored.

You are now ready to do whatever you like without fear of losing data!

You can restore your sdcard with:

adb push /source/ /sdcard/

/source/ being the folder where you stored your /sdcard/ contents in the first command!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
(assuming that your bootloader is already unlocked)

(-w) in fastboot command will erase your data

any way flash it this way: unzip the image.zip and flash each .img except userdata.img and you will be fine with your sdcard.

Bug report:

If you add in "Quick setting panel" a "lock screen" tile then turn it OFF and reboot your device - your Homescreen button (BOTH in Pie or Standart interface) will not work. Also you will not be able to enter your PIN code - so no registration in GSM! No other glitches were spotted.

So all you need is just turn ON "lock screen" tile before or after rebooting (if you already met the bug) and - voilà - you'll be asked to enter you PIN, also homescreen button will work again.

So I am using Paranoid android 3 + franco kernel and Nova launcher - and I like it very much! This is not the problem of launcher - maybe kernel involved?

Can't post this in more related thread due to being "noob" and not a developer or by any other reason or rule of this forum. So If anybody would be so kind to do this - here is the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1800268

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dima470:
I'm really confused here. What is the difference between AOKP from their website and task650's aokp? Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
an "AOKP" ROM is from the actual AOKP team itself. Task650, a dev, takes AOKP and makes mods and code changes. they both come with a kernel from their respect dev/team included
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dima470:
Which one is better in your opinion?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
they're both good in their own respects. task's is a little more "bleeding edge", if you will.

they will both run well if you wipe and flash them correctly. AOKP just released build 6 of their 4.2.2 rom. their milestone (official stable release) will be here in april. i am waiting for that as i have been running their 4.1.2 milestone since last october. it runs flawlessly and with no issues.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dima470:
Really? Cause I am running the build 6 and its really choppy and isn't smooth at all
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
build 6, i believe, was released with the 3.4 kernel (new) so there might be small issues. again, a lot of things are based on how you wipe/flash. also note that i said i only run milestones, not numbered releases.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] powercamg4:
So i decied to go to carbon rom because my phone has been acting strange, YouTube would keep resigning in everything i would launch it, Random crashed and freezes and has just been acting up for no good reason. I was running CM 10.1 nightly and dont apply ant mods to it or anything like that becuase i like it simple.

When i flashed the rom i did it with gapps but they were not intalled when i boot, all i got was my SIM pin popup like i usualy get. So i re-flashed gapps and still no luck. So i said f*** it and found another build of it and copyed it to my SD Card and was going to flash it. Like i allways do i went to factory reset and all i got was a long log of cant remove lost+found and same happed when i tryed to wipe the system. and that didnt look good so i pulled the battery and booted recovery with the key press and it would get to teamwin screen but would reboot. Opened oden on my desktop, reflashed teamwin tar and that didnt help it. So i was lucky that i loaded the rom and i rebooted to recovery and am copying all my /data/media to a sdcard that i have

So can anyone give me some links to the 16GB PIT and all that jazz so i can get thing back up and running

And no i am not a n00b becasue i have been working with android and other phones long enough to know what i am doing

[HTC Rezound] Madnapali:
Hey everyone, I am 100% fed up with my phone automatically trying to download the OTA that came out last month. I already located and got rid of updater.apk, and that stopped one of the processes. However, there seems to be another one that runs. This is the one you actually have an option to defer.

Anyone know what it is? I would like to kill it for the time being.
[HTC Rezound] m2hartman:
I'm not sure if it's the same on the Rezound, but on my ThunderBolt I renamed /etc/security/otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak and I haven't received any more update requests. I just relocked my Rezound, so I can't confirm that file actually exists.

Huge thanks. Just did this; next update deferred to the morning of 04-Apr, so I shall report back.

I forced the update to go again and nothing happened, so this seems to have worked. Unfortunately, I have been having some serious radio issues with my phone recently so will be modding it to alleviate.

If your buttons do work just use the custom recovery. Boot into it then flash both rom and kernel (REMEMBER before flashing to WIPE ALL DATA : FACTORY RESET, it can be found inside recovery clockworkmod)

Help, i have just got an XDA (first one) and downloaded the new rom and installed it in the hope that i coild use my orange sim. But all i keep getting are "the wireless radio is turned off. turn on the wireless radio and try again. Only emergency numbers can be made without a pin". the sim card is a pay as u go and is working fine in my nokia. I have tried another orange sim and it comes up with the same thing and i have set a pin up. ANY help would be gratefully received.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Qman:
Tap & Hold the radio icon on the menu bar and turn the radio on,

(if that fails you might have to turn it on from the boot loader by holding the power button while doing a soft reset, after you're in boot loader mode the press Calender button)

then use the phone keypad to inter the PIN code then tap enter.

If that works then goto to Tools, Options, and uncheck Require PIN when phone used.

BTW did you have to inter a password to use your Nokia?

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cruisin-thru:
It looks to me like the sim isnt being inserted correctly, make sure that the rubber cover over the sim insertion socket is firmly in place and that you are putting the sim in the correct way.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cruisin-thru:
I have managed to get the same error, you must make sure when inserting sim, that the sim is pushed in far enough to engage the clip, then your phone will work.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] floodey:
I have pushed the sim in all the way so the clip engages and you can only put it in one way for the clip to engage.

I have also gone in to the boot loader and pressed the calendar button and a list of things show such as UTILITIES, GSM ON, debug/call, turn on, turn off, reset, 900, 1900, 900/1800, recal and normal.

i have also put an o2 sim in and it all works A1. also if i tap the radio icon on the menu bar it turns the phone on but still says "the wireless radio is turned off. turn on the wireless radio and try again. Only emergency numbers can be made without a pin". Some more help will be much apreciated. Thanks

[EVO 4G General] Krazy4evo:
After my pal upgraded his phone, I bought his old EVO, so I am now the proud owner of two EVOs.

I want to hook it up to my HDTV, and would like to know the best software combination to get the most out of the Evo hardware.

Here's what I would like to do: use my Nexus 7 tablet to remotely control the Netflix app installed on my new EVO, which will be hooked up to my HDTV.

The Play Store has several apps to control Android devices remotely, but why experiment when you guys already have working configurations?

1) What app should I install on my tablet /Evo to control the Evo device remotely?

2) Which Rom should I use? The Evo hooked up to my HDTV will not be used for anything other than Netflix, so I really don't need a fancy Rom, just one that works with the HDMI hardware on the Evo.

Thanks!

Hello,

This discussion is geared more towards developers with experience, but anyone's insight is appreciated.

I am from the Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 forum. For those of you unaware, the galaxy player is a less popular device from Samsung that shares many hardware similarities to the original Galaxy S. There is a international version with a physical home button, and a U.S. version with a capacitive home button.

It was released with gingerbread, but cm9 has been unofficially ported. One issue with cm9 is the capacitive button on the U.S. variant doesn't work. The international version button does work. It is likely kernel related, as it fails to register input in cwm as well as while booted in the system. Another thing to note is that the capacitive menu and back buttons do work, just not the home button.

I was just curious to see if anyone has any likely causes for this issue. Our cm9 team has been stumped on it for a few months now.

IMEI restore

Please Check

your IMEI no. by dialing *#06#

if it is saying invalid

then

- go to engineer mode with this code "* # * # 3646633 # * # *" (just type it on call pad)

2- then follow that path --> CDS info --> Radio info --> Phone1 (for the first imei)

3- at the top there is a command line which begins "AT+" just type there "AT +EGMR=1,7,"IMEI_1" (instead of IMEI_1 put your first imei number)

4- hit send command

5-if you done just reboot the phone, if you change the second imei go to step 2 and select "Phone2"

6-and enter the code "AT +EGMR=1,10,"IMEI_2" (instead of IMEI_2 put your second imei number) hit send command

7-reboot

Initialy when you give a send commend it may not respond. Unless you have a rooted ;phone and write or edit system is enabled. For this You should root your phone. Install ES. Explores r Root explores etc or by available means you should enable write permission. Then send command well be executed.

If this is not responding.

Then use this LG Flash tool, an old one. Through the process your IMEI may be restored, if you have registered your phone with LG.

I had that problem several months ago on SCV7. What are your CPU settings? When I was having that problem my CPU minimum was at 192 MHz. I bumped it up to 300 MHz and it hasn't happened again. The part I never figured out was that I hadn't changed my CPU setting up to that point, ever. It just started wigging out one day and it took me a few days to realize that was the problem. Hopefully your problem is just as easy to fix.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vibecatalin:
I've looked in all the threads opened with vibration problems but haven't found my issue.

Which is : the vibration intensity raises with each press ( I think it has 3 vibration intensity ) To be more precise if , for example, I press the back button once I get a low intensity vibration, but if I pressed it quickly for 3,4,5,6 times I can hear how the vibrator increases the intensity and stays that way. So the intensity is not the same if I press the same button once or more times.

Has someone this behavior on their phones? Maybe is normal, but in my old S2 the vibration was constant form the beginning. Thanks!

L.E. : At least answer me please if your phone's vibration is ok, just test it by pressing the back button once, and then press it again for about 6 times repeatedly if you have haptic feedbak enabled
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robogo1982:
Happens on my phone too. Might be that the vibration engine needs to be more precisely controlled (could be done with software, maybe).

I also have this issue which I find rather annoying when pressing the back button quickly.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ambroos:
It's completely normal. The vibration is sort of a spinning disc and it needs about half a second to spin up to high speed. When you trigger short vibrations repeatedly it doesn't stop completely between each tap and the vibration feels stronger.
