Okay, I got into download mode for enough time to reflash CWM Recovery - No use. After rebooting, bootloop still there.

I got into Recovery mode too - flashed cm 10.1, still after rebooting, bootloop.

The time before loop is random - sometimes can go into recovery/download mode, sometime, just restarts on starts.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] joehanh88:
I see..same problem as mine..then,I guess the only way is bring it to the service.damn.....

your problem is not as worst as me..because I even cannot go to the download mode, for some sort of time, it will automatically boot it self..

My phone goes only sometime, like after 10 tries or something :/

I dont want to take it to Samsung, its out of Warranty, rooted and has a non-Samsung battery too
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] coliv_aja:
are your battery is good. i also have those problem while my battery is dying.

or maybe your power chip is broken. but you should get to service center to make sure.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] joehanh88:
I just bought a new battery, and u don't think the new battery is the problem..but it might, because I'm using power bank to recharge the battery since I can't charge the phone with the provided charger because of I'm in the bus..

plus, my phone warranty already used once..I don't think I can use it for the second time. :(

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] enarsee:
I got it to boot, but only once.

I did the following steps :

1) Connected it by USB to PC

2) Started Odin, Flashed latest recovery

3) Went into recovery at the next boot, Installed CM 10.1

4) Phone booted

No battery detected, it says running on USB :S

Next time I rebooted it, again same bootloop.

I feel its a power chip problem. Like some loose connection between charger -> battery and phone.

Anyone else who can help out ?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] joehanh88:
yea, that makes sense.. :(

I think no one can help since it was the chip problem..only service centre can help..LOL..

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] coliv_aja:
if your warranty is already void. is more cheap to go to service out of samsung. if the problem is really your power chips, basiccaly its cheaps. but they may charge you more. just don't look stupid :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] enarsee:
Okay,

So I decided to check my phone again, after a month.

And it did boot up with CM 10.1. Although, after a few hours of use, started looping again at the Samsung logo.

I took out the battery and felt the device to be hotter than normal, then I kept it that way for 15 mins and tried again, it booted.

This happened thrice.

So I am thinking its due to some component overheating that the power gets cut off and it gets stuck. So I decided to underclock and check, so that heat is kept in check. I am running it at 860 Mhz for 7 hours now and its working fine. I also upgraded to 10.1 Build 3.

Is this the only solution to the problem ? Underclock it ? Any other way to determine what exactly is causing it ?

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 PM ----------

If you can notice the fine line at the battery, thats the first cutoff point. I have tried with other batteries as well. Same error.

My question is:

Can anyone help me regarding how to capture the the error right before it crashes, so can point towards what is happening.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] temenalie:
if you familiar using odin, try install stock rom

download stock firmware, odin 4.43 + ancora.ops

these files are what you need to install stock rom

make sure you read and follow the instructions how to flash using odin.

but, if you can not access download mode, try this method

- Release your battery, sim card, and your external card.

- Make sure Odin is ready to use

- Plug your Cable USB Data, and connect to your phone

- Use one of your hand to Hold Power button, volume down,

- and another hand, use your thumb finger to hold Home button, and use another fingers to put your battery back

- keep holding on the buttons until download mode (Odin Mode) ready to use.

you don't need select continue, because it will automatically direct to Download Mode (Odin Mode)

After successful accessing download mode, you can continue follow the instruction how to flash using odin.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] enarsee:
Have done all that. Stock ROM or any ROM, it always crashes after a *random* amount of time
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] temenalie:
can you tell me, what do you mean stop at booting procces?

Stuck on samsung logo but reboot again?

Or stuck after boot animation and reboot again?

If you've got stuck on samsung logo, that's mean bricked.

You may need bring your device to Samsung Center.

But, if you've got bootlop that mean rebooot again after boot animation.

You can fix your self by flashing stock rom or any custom rom.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] enarsee:
I have been flashing ROMs for about 2 years now, and have had the normal bootloop many times which gets resolved with ODIN.

But this is technically not a "loop"...It starts..power gets cut (switches off)..and keeps on happening. Randomly, it will start and work.

Now I am underclocking and running it, lets see till when it runs. And when it switches on (It shows black lines in the battery stats) for all the times it crashed. And I have tried it with a new battery also, not a battery problem
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] coliv_aja:
Like my comments before. You should check again your battery. You can borrow your friends battery.

If power suddenly cut off. Than the culprit can be battery, power chip or cpu.

How about if it's constantly plug in to charger. Does it suddenly reboot?

Did you ever try to make a logcat?

Capture your logcat since boot to suddenly dead. We might can figured out what happen.

I'm really sad for you. But you have another phone, right?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] enarsee:
Haha, its a BB :( - Cant tolerate it :P

It switches off even if being charged. Have tried with friends battery, same problem.

But what I don't get, being a Computer Science student and after dealing with electronics is the totally random time of switching off, and when its on, it works like nothings wrong.

I'll try getting a logcat now, will post it here when done.

Thanks :)

So, update - I finally gave up on my wonder.

It was working for an hour and then crashing - traded it in ;) and got an S3 instead.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] RobboW:
Enjoy your S3 :)

Sounds like the W was overheating and cutting off. Mine died, it was running Navigation and just froze, unresponsive. I pulled the battery but it would not boot after that at all. Sent back to Samsung, they replaced the main board and it's been fine since. Mine was rooted and de-bloated at the time. They re-flashed it to stock.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] masiegel:
I searched @ the forum but haven't found an actual answer.

Is it possible to unlock the sony xperia go so that every carrier can be used.

Maybe with an alternative firmware etc.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XqepX:
To unlock your SIM Card, you have to ask your provider. It can't be abolished just by flashing an other ROM/Firmware ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sdato001:
I had unlocked some phones in the past using cellunlocker.net, it is not free and will depend on what carier is your phon locked to. I have used it for Atrix HD, Galaxy S2 Skyrocket and One X, all locked to ATT, its being some months since the last time I used, none of those phone where mine, I do not buy locked phones :)

There are some other services to get the unlock code for your phone but none is free. Once unlocked it will remain unlocked. I am not sure but I believe that right now it is not legal in the US to unlock the phone without your carrier approval.

[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androiduser_ger:
Hi guys,

i've decided to flash Pranjal's ROM to my g3. So far i've run into two problems:

How to install cwm recovery? i5800 is not supported, but Pranjal's pre-installation procedure recommends using it...

When using odin, it asks for a .tar-file for flashing as "one package". the downloads contain only .zip-files. Is it enough to simply convert .zip to .tar, or are there other links i have not found?

thanks for your help;D
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zygis10:
1. For cwm you should flash g3mod kernel

2. You have to extract a .zip file to the level of .tar file and remember that v4.2 is an update.zip file flashable through cwm and before flashing it you must have a v4 flashed through odin.

Hope this helps :D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D_RiDeRs:
Hi all,

I have installed some apps on my Nexus 4, that are:-

A. Battery Related Apps

1. Memory Booster

2. Watchdog Lite

3. JuiceDefender

4. Du Battery Saver

5. Easy Battery Saver

6. Android Assitant

B. Download Manager

1. Advanced Download Manager

2. LoaderDroid

3. Easy Downloader

C. System Cleaner

1. System Tuner

Since I have installed more than one apps for the single purpose I am bit confused for which app to keep.

If I will keep more than one app for a purpose it will result in unstability of my phone.

So anyone please tell me which app is "the best" in its category?:confused:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vindikleuk:
That's all up to personal preference. Which ones fit the way you use your phone the most? For that, I would just test out each app for about a week and see if it's any better or worse than it's competition.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paddington:
I find the best battery app is common sense. I've never gotten better battery life from one of the battery life tools than when I just manually controlled things.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] username8611:
any kind of memory management or memory booster on our phones with 2GB of ram would most likely do more harm than good
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyli1985:
In my opinion, any of those battery related apps in your list are not necessary for our phones. They will do more harm than goods.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D_RiDeRs:
Hi all,

As far as battery related apps is concerned why you people are putting emphasis on not using any of these apps.

As per my perception "Easy Battery Saver" is a nice app. With this you can disconnect your Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/GPS/Mobile with a single click.

As these things(Wi-Fi etc.) consumes more battery. Moreover this app clears background app that consumes battery without our knowledge.

So please clarify about this category. :(

What about the other category app?:confused:

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] clayton128:
found a fix for anyone with this problem, go get the RUU and in fast boot send the command Fastboot oem lock. This will re-lock your bootloader and allow the RUU to do its thing.

I have quite a lot of sensitive information in the notes of some of my contacts. Is there any way to hide/secure/password this information. I am somewhat concerned that if my xda2 is lost or stolen then this information could be used for evil, not for good if you know what I mean.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] ntabikha:
not only THAT, but you can also password the SIM card too! so no one can use the sim card in their own cell phone, to make long distance calls ;)

when i boot up the phone, even if i have just installed a new rom, almost every app keep FCing so i can't even setup the phone... i don't know what's going on... someone has some ideas?

these are the ones that keep FCing: com.android.phone

com.htc.bg

while the other FCs once: Facebook, G+, Dropbox ecc...

Memory block damage maybe. Did you try the phone without the simcard. Could also be a faulty simcard thats causing it !

[HTC One X] matt95:
tried without sim, still the same... every app FCs and android.process.core keeps FCs...

It was worth the try, i had it once with a faulty simcard. It started with a fc of the android.phone bla bla bla thingy then all apps started to crash afterwards !

Edit :

I have the feeling the phone can't reach certain parts of the memory and therefore fc !

Did you try to fix permissions ?
[HTC One X] matt95:
that was what i thought! i have tried fixing permissions many times but it didn't solve the problem... i can't even enable the debugger so i can't interface it with adb
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Run a RUU and see if it gets fixed. If you still get FCs, it's a hardware issue.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Yeah lets do that ....good idea TT. I hope Matt has a international one :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] matt95:
i'll see if there is a RUU, however this is what the recovery gives to me if i reboot into it

but if i reboot recovery then it becomes normal...
[HTC One X] matt95:
yeah of course ;) it is the international one
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
then do the ruu thingy, hope that works....you know the drill :p

Tool for flashing the KDZ files

When I download KDZ file, how to put this new OS version on my phone ? Can I use it with offical tool from LG (for example: LGMobile Support Tool) ?

The reason I ask this is I updated my LG 4X HD with LGMobile Support Tool to Android 4.1 and I have catastrophic battery drainage (Android system drain 50% of the battery, on ICS it was about 4-5%). So I want to revert back to ICS.

Also, can you tell me where I can find offical ICS roms for LG 4X HD ?

Thanks in advance for your answer man,
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
The official LGMobile Support Tool will download the kdz from server, no matter if you already have it or not.

You can try LGFlash Tool (the better and cleanest flash you'll ever have), or flash with kdz following one of the tutorial on the forum.

The best to prevent battery drain, is to get root access, uninstall stock apps that are useless to us.

Problem is one should not be entering the IMEI of one's phone into random websites. The potential for your IMEI being stolen and blacklisted is hazardous.

What people who find this thread are most likely to be interested in is where/how to find direct links to LGE's download sites. Like the two URLs in the opener where you can get the correct KDZ for your device by sending your IMEI directly to LGE; or get the KDZ for a given device merely given its designation and region.

Has anyone analyzed the appropriate tools to figure out updated URLs?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ze7zez:
