[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJBoxer:
check the usb port may need cleaning this happened to me and one of pins were bent unlucky for me i fiddled and broke usb completely now i swap battery's from desktop charger.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnycun:
Hmm , can you tell me how to clean the port or what to use not to bent them and one more thing, as i can see the pins are so small so how do i know if one of them is bent or not

,,,

tried cleanin the port,removing the battery for 20 min and still the same :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkspo:
its port problem, i tried fixing myself but didnt work, i had exact same problem, i sent it in for warranty, and samsung just sent my phone back today, and they replaced "usb port" according to receipt :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pileot:
"Cyber Clean" did it for me, was able to get in to the tiny spots and pull out the dust, etc. that was causing the problem.

DO NOT try to shove anything hard (Like a Q-Tip) into the space, it will break the connection.

You can also place a *newish* USB port in and out a few times, often that can dislodge whatever got in there.

BE VERY GENTLE as this is the weak part in the phone. If you break this you will need to use a wall charger.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnycun:
i tried cleanin with a lot of things and it seems to be so clean now and the pins are not bent , but i dont think that the problem is at this part because when the battery goes under 60% everything returns to normal ...

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashrommad:
I would like to ask if it is possible to back engineer (or whatever the android term is, sorry ) to make the xperia Z lockscreen work in a GB custom rom, specifically x gamer, on an lt18i Arc S.

I don't mind having a go and trying to do it myself, but before I go headlong into it,and I know there will be lots to learn perhaps someone that knows what they are doing can advise me if I'm going to be wasting my time or not, before I start.

Thank You.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
Xperia Z was released with JB, porting the lockscreen would be a lot of work due to whole different framework.
[HTC One X+] GTFX:
Well, I flashed a Jellybean 4.2.2 ROM and it created a 0 folder in my SD Card.

When I wanted to get back to my 4.1 ROM, I read the instructions and ended up with my 0 folder in my /data/media folder.

Now I can't move the contents back to /sdcard/ and my 4.1 ROM won't boot, neither would the 4.2 one boot.

I'm really new to this kind of flashing and I really get things wrong. Could someone clear this for me?

I'm using TWRP. :)
[HTC One X+] hardstuffmuc:
AW: [Q] Ran into another problem

Well, did you flash the corresponding boot.img in fastboot mode? Don't forget after >fastboot flash boot boot.img< command the >fastboot erase cache< command.

4.1 ROM won't boot with the 4.2 boot.img and vice versa
[HTC One X+] AndroHero:
/data/media/ and /sdcard/ are the same location.
[HTC One X+] GTFX:
As a matter of fact, yes, I did flash the boot.img.

I didn't use fastboot erase cache but I did boot into recovery immediately and cleared cache and dalvik cache.

I'm having flashing 4.2 ROMS, always give me bootloop.

I thought this was related to the location of the 0 folder but thanks for clearing that out.

Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

> Boot into bootloader.

> Enter fastboot

> Insert USB

> fastboot flash boot boot.img

> Reboot into TWRP

> Remove USB

> clear dalvik and cache

> clear system

> flash ROM and gapps

> Clear dalvik and cache once more just to reassure myself

> Reboot

I am an Xperia S owner. Seems we are finally going to get jelly bean firmware.

Well. Galaxy S2 got it almost three months back, at the end of november. I flashed it in three of my friends' mobiles. I hated touchwiz in ics but they improved it a lot in jb. Please don't say that we have/had CM10. I prefer to have a stock ROM in my mobile.

Its been exactly one year since I bought my Xperia S. I had Samsung Galaxy Ace before that. I went to sony because I liked the looks of xperia arc and when I saw the announcement of xperia s, I waited fot it since it looked good too and I bought it as soon as it came in amazon. I didn't know that sony provides the updates a bit late. I remember very well how many days I waited for stock ICS. And it seems htc and samsung are providing the updates in good time for their flagship devices.Friends of mine having HTC One X, Galaxy S2, Galaxy S3 are all enjoying with JB and am still stuck at ICS. Occasionally I play with CM but I always come back to stock ICS. Like I said I prefer to have a stock ROM in my phone.

I know that we can buy a nexus if we want faster updates but nexus 4 doesn't look cool. And the looks matter to me a lot.

HTC One looks awesome. Xperia Z looks cool and its water proof too. The full hd screen and other specs are awesome but they are too big in my opinion. I felt Xperia P great in my hands. Its size is ideal. And iphone 5 has almost the same size and its thinner compared to Xperia P.

iphone hardware is inferior compared to other android devices and its costlier too. But I still wonder how an iphone 4s(my friend has one and I compared mine with it), with lower specs compared to mine but still smoother than my Xperia S. And the reviews say the iphone 5 is good too in speed etc...

Seems iphone 5 is smaller, thinner (may not be thinnest but still fine) and will always have the latest os as long as the hard ware supports. But I don't want to stay away from android. So alongside an iphone I want to buy a nexus tablet so I can play with android. Unlike nexus phones I don't have any grudges on nexus tablets. How does this sound to you people?

Mind you. I am not an apple fan. Otherwise I would have gone straight to buy an iphone instead of posting this thread here. So your opinion matters to me.

Sorry if there are any mistakes above. I am not very good at english. Its not my native language.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PLovrin:
Re: Looking to buy a new gadget.

Wait a bit more for jelly bean. It should be a lot faster and we will get a lot new features.

Well, iphone might be faster because it has much less feaures. I personally would never buy iphone just because of OS.

Just some features favoring XS: camera, camera button, quick launch, multitasking, small apps (when JB arrives), widgets, notification bar and panel, NFC, HDMI, usb otg and much much more.

Edit: oh and iphone costs a lot more and you said that hardware is better but it will brake faster than any device. As I saw.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] UchihaDareNial:
Re: Looking to buy a new gadget.

Well...I guess either Xperia P or Samsung Galaxy Nexus is good for you (y) but if yoy can wait more...how about getting a Xperia SP?It is 4.3",2370 mAh battery,1.7 Ghz Dual core S4,8mp camera with hdr,can record 1080p video,720p screen...the phone beats my Xperia ion with it speed 1.7 Ghz and battery lol...

And it will be around 350-400$ I think...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jazz Like That:
Xperia P is not a flagship device. Otherwise I would have bought it that time itself.

If I buy Xperia SP now then I will have to wait forever to get the new android OS (may be 4.3 or 5.0).

There's no question of buying a device other than flagships.

I am a college student. Many of my friends have different mobiles with them. And all of my friends come to me to root their mobiles. Xperia P is a great phone but sony took forever to release ics for it. And my friend regretted buying it instead of going for Xperia S (I mean he regretted not going for the flagship device).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Piyush Rawal:
S2 didn't get jelly bean in November last year (Leak roms don't count). It got it this year in January and so far the update is not available in many countries including India where i live. No offence intended.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PLovrin:
Agree, there are still 164 countries/carriers waiting to get S2 JB.. Only 40 got it already. They are really having a slow rollout. I remember that ICS for XS was really fast - correct me if I am wrong. Well, at least I got it fast and I live in small country. Can't wait for JB for my XS though, seems a lot harder to wait now when its around the corner.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jazz Like That:
It may be a leaked ROM but it was completely smooth. Our xperia s also has a leaked jb rom but unlike s2 it was only for developers.

Well. Since we are able to flash any regions' ROM manually it doesn't matter that it is released in India or not. And our Xperia S has nothing except some ported ROMs.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Piyush Rawal:
It's even worst from Samsung's part as it took them 2 months to officially release a perfectly smooth and working ROM. Anyways i am not gonna be part of Samsung vs Sony fight as i ain't a fanboy, was just correcting what you said. Good luck finding the right device for you.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] UchihaDareNial:
Well you are a college's student,I see...well,I need some information from you...how much budget,you preferred mid-range or high-range,and do you like the flagship of smartphone?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 0000alex0000:
iphone hardware is inferior? wrong. iphone doesn't need superior hardware to get the same jobs done. it's all about software/coding.

ios is written mainly in C++ but android is written mainly in Java (v6) and that is something extremely inferior

for a phone that is fast and reliable, go for wp8 or iphone, or just enjoy the endless loop of "where is the update for my xyz"

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RazorMC:
If you're looking at overall hardware and screen quality, get the Samsung SIII. It's a bit old but still leads the Android pack even with the Xperia Z out in the market. The screen is large and amazing but the phone fits in your pockets nicely.

Saving some money means you got to look at some Sonys.

I personally own the Xperia S and love it.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jazz Like That:
No bar on budget!! That's why iphone came into options!! I prefer only flagships.

Well said!! Thanks for the info about that software/coding. I didn't know about that earlier.

And I will wait forever for the updates.

Yeah. S3 is a good phone. But I don't want to buy a mobile bigger than 4" screen. And the iphone 5 is the only good phone (in looks and performance) in 4" screen range.

It is obvious that posting about iphone in this forums is wrong. I mean you won't get correct replies.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jackmax32:
Did you copy that from the Verge...? Where u on the Verge? Exact same pic was posted on the Verge couple of days back.. An idiot mentioned gay marriage on a Windows blue article and boom liberals jumped in lol...

OP: 4inch max then go for Iphone 5.. I don't think there is any good high end android phone with 4 inch screen..

And for tablet you can check out Note 8 or the Nexus 7 or the Ipad.

I am ditching my XS for a Note 2 next month.. Size was not an issue so it was an easy choice for me..

XS served me well but it's time to upgrade. Bored of XS now..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] naturist:
Well I will try to cut this straight and sweet.

I have used Galaxy S2, S3, Xperia S and recently Note II. For my tablet needs, I am using Nexus 7. S2 was good, but not good in looks, same goes with S3. Note II was too big for me and I sold it recently.

Now, I am settled with iPhone 5 from last 1-2 months and I gotta say, though I miss the launchers, different widgets etc but its lot smoother than any of the Android phones I ever used. ( Example: ShadowGun Deadzone auto detect graphics as low in X:S, medium in S3, and Note II, high in Nexus 7, still iPhone5 beats them all with 'Super high' graphics'. ) There are plenty of such examples I tested myself.

I haven't sold X:S cause of the beauty and looks, but I satisfy my Android needs with Nexus 7. X:S is waiting for JB update in my drawer.

Best combo for you: Get an iPhone 5 with Nexus 7. This way, you will get best of both worlds in terms of size, beauty, updates etc. Both the devices will receive updates fast, with no waiting time.

Also, if your budget allows to keep X:S with new ph and tab, I would suggest to keep it till you get the JB update. Even after the update, if you feel the device is still laggy, sell it than. :)

Hope this helps.

If I was you, I'd stay on S and wait for JB. Anyway, S is receivin' JB in a few days, you choose.

I'm just doing brief review this to compare the two spigen screen protectors. I have tried both oil- resistance and ultra clarity. Both attract fingerprints but the Oil- Resistance cleans more easily. The difference between the two is not much by a lot.

Right now I am using the anti-glare by Clarivue and I love it. Absolutely no fingerprints and also the screen degradation is not much noticeable. I prefer a little degradation over fingerprints.

As for the cases I use the Ionic case while I am in the house.

Also I use the slim generic case with the clip when I go outdoors. It is pretty decent only thing is it is hard to remove the case if you have no long fingernails. It is also made of hard plastic NOT rubber as it says on ebay.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duckwizzle:
I don't know how I did it. I've been rooted/unlocked for over a month (running CM the whole time) with stock kernel. Last night I upgraded to the 03.24 nightly and everything was fine. 3 hours later I downloaded a franco kernel after some reading and I wanted to try it out. I used Rom Manager to reboot into recovery (like I always do) and install the kernel and as soon as I hit "restart now" apps started FC'ing and my phone never came back on. It never made it to recovery mode or anything. It just died completely and I was around 40-50% battery life.

Currently this is what I'm dealing with:

Holding the power button down for 10 seconds flashes a red LED light. No changed on the screen

Holding any combo of the volume keys (up, down, and both) + power does the same as above

The only time the LED flashes red is when I'm plugged in via USB or AC. Otherwise nothing

I've had to charging for nearly 10 hours now... it's like it has no power at all

When plugging it into a PC I see "QHUSB_DLOAD" in my device manager.

I have the Android SDK and Nexus 4 drivers installed

I have seen NOTHING On the screen since this has happened - no charging animations, fastboot, not even a flicker

I've down A LOT of reading and the only thing I haven't tried is charging it for days at a time and taking it apart (which I'm not opposed to doing) but I'd prefer not to. Is there anything else I can try? Thank you
