Since you have tried multiple cables.. It could be the wall piece of the charger not having a good connection around the USB, try a new one of those.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jt.one:
LOL....

sorry didnt mean to laugh.

1) the power cube/brick(where the USB attaches) might be faulty

2) the charge slot on the phone might be faulty

3) all of the above
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gritts:
How do I go about fixing this?

Appreciate the input!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
It may the electronic where its charging. I recently moved out of an area where the power was bad and suffered a similar issue to a new area and now my phone has had issues
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfmiller:
It sounds like probably the USB port on your phone is bad. Wrapping the cord around the phone must hold the plug in just the right position it needs to be in to connect correctly.
[General Questions and Answers] Wallex:
Hello, I was wondering if anyone can give me purchase advice: Asus Transformer TF201 (used with 32gb microsd for $300) vs Lenovo S2110 (New for $365). I like having root, but I don't need a new rom. I only want to be able to take off what I want with Titanium Backup. I want to use it basically in place of a laptop, mainly for entertainment and taking notes. Possibly programming but that's basically word processing too.

Android version doesn't really matter to me... my phone is an A885 droid so it has Android 2.3.

If this is in the wrong section, I'm sorry. Figured going to each individual forum is more biased than not.

*Edit* I've also located a T300 with Dock and SD card for $300. Does the T300 take the cake?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philippem_:
Hi all,

I'm new to these forums, so I can only post here:

Is there a way to come back from CM10.1 to CM10 (epinter rom) ?

I tried, but when I do this, the phone hang,

Thanks
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n0credit:
You can do it but you have to wipe data, cache and dalvik after you flashed cm10.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johbremat:
Anyone know anything about phone camera sensors?

Wondering if it's a hardware- or software-limitation that stopping us from shooting in RAW rather than JPG.

Can't seem to find anything remotely close to a whitepaper regarding the technology.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanmaasecas:
I think Android OS doesn't allow saving raw files taken by the camera.

Furthermore, since each cell phone could mount different sensors, each brand would have to develop a lot of drivers to save in raw and provide "album app" with drivers to be able to read them.

In addition, raw files are so heavy that they need more time to be saved (slower camera app).

Most of people uses the phone for take and shot pics, almost anybody is really interested in the extra quality provided by raw... Even usually compact cameras can't shoot in raw mode, and I know some people who own a dslr and still shoot in jpg...

I would love shooting in raw mode too, but I think it's a huge utopia.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fards:
there have been several android based devices that allow shooting in RAW, the Z seems to be restricted by its driver..\

you can shoot with uncompressed png in some software, but other than upping the file size it doesn't do a lot to improve the quality.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanmaasecas:
Could you tell me one of that android based deviced which allow shooting in RAW? :S
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radarwolf:
Is RAW a better extension (higher quality) than JPG and PNG then?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm007:
Yes,it's a file created directly from the cmos or ccd without any software manipulation.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johbremat:
Don't doubt what you fellas are saying, though you have to admit that - despite the lack of a dedicated imaging engine supporting the sensor - the speed of the inbuilt NAND and the capabilities of the S4 shouldn't really preclude the Z from managing this (surely better than the most capable Cybershot).

Admittedly (or I'd gladly accept) there'd be a lack of modes like panorama and burst, but that's of little bother when framing a single portrait or landscape shot. Would be great (a pipedream?) if they could implement it...might give PureView a run for it's money (personally think UltraPixels are a non-starter, but Sigma made it work with Foveon so there may still be some legs in it).

Can continue to hope, I s'pose.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ambroos:
Guys, it's a tiny phone sensor. Not even most compact cameras can shoot in RAW. It just doesn't have much use for a phone.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hellscythe:
My low end HTC Incredible S could shoot RAW....
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johbremat:
Beg to differ. Reckon by having the direct sensor output rather than anything post-processed we'd end up with a few happier folk in these forums.

And given the additional data there'd be more room for movement using the likes of Snapseed and Photoshop Touch while mobile.

Not intending for this to replace any dedicated equipment, but the only good camera is the one on you: if you can score that perfect moment with only your phone, the opportunity to do so with the greatest amount of raw data will make up for some of the deficiencies of the sensor, allowing for post-processing on the desktop.
[LG Optimus 3D] niko22225:
Hello. I would Like to know which is the best ROM for O3D. with good battery life , working camera,3D support and less bugs it have its better. I tried NovAndroid It was really fast but The battery discharged in 2-4 hours. Then I tried the CM 7 but it was even worse then NovAndroid and then CM 10 nightly which had too much bugs. Right now Im using JB 4.1.0 but camera doesnt work and what is worst is that if your phone lags just a little bit it freezes and after some seconds the LG logo appear forever until you take the battery out
[LG Optimus 3D] p-vlad:
wrong section

btw... there is no best ROM as there is no best car. it is up to you what you want/need.
[LG Optimus 3D] defcomg:
well said sir.
[LG Optimus 3D] Kodaro:
Cm10 was that bad cause you didn't install wkpark's bootloader v1.25. If you want 3d you have to use ICS e.g. Xbsall's v8.

Gesendet von meinem LGE-P920 mit Tapatalk 2
[LG Optimus 3D] niko22225:
If i install the bootloader will it work better? The worst problem was that when phone freezed even when trying to play youtube video and I needed to take out battery 4 times a day because of freezes. And If I install all the things which are needed with ROM which would be better xbsall's rom or cm10 / or ThiaiZO3D? I will not act like I know these things I am total noob at this . And Can I brick my phone by changing bootloader or baseband?
[LG Optimus 3D] niko22225:
I want a fully working fast and stable rom. Why wrong section ROMs belongs to android development or not?
[LG Optimus 3D] niko22225:
And what is point of bootloader?
[LG Optimus 3D] berni987654321:
Questions should be posted in general section or in a thread about a Rom.
[LG Optimus 3D] niko22225:
Would anyone answer me question about rom and stop saying I used wrong section please ? Im sorry I didn't know where to put it
[LG Optimus 3D] berni987654321:
If I were you and would need 3d I would use xbsalls v8 Rom, or if I had some free time I'd set up dualboot and use as second Rom any 4.2 Rom if I need the newest os or 4.1 Rom if I need bluetooth
[LG Optimus 3D] linuxlol:
Don't do Cyanogen mod it will brick your phone.

ICS is good but you can't root it. no recovery mode.
[LG Optimus 3D] defcomg:
I have installed Cyanogenmod on Multiple Devices not once has it ever bricked a device infact you're more likely to brick your device flashing official updates xbsall has a a guide to recover from a brick so its not even an issue. please do some more reading ics has root . it has recovery just not a Custom one (CWM/TWRP)thats why wkparks Bootloader exists.

IF you Ain't Devi'N Don't a Start A thread in Dev Section.

@Mod Close thread or move it to General.
[LG Optimus 3D] linuxlol:
actually the root doesn't work because you can't get into recovery.

'waiting for device.'
[LG Optimus 3D] tang097:
actually, you should read more carefully :p
[LG Optimus 3D] linuxlol:
nope says 'waiting for device.'

it flashes ICS properly but not recovery.

Power + Vol Down + 3d button does nothing but boot phone normally.
[LG Optimus 3D] niko22225:
Is there any guide to set up dualboot? and can I brick my phone with it and does It make phone slow ? I heard about xbsalls rom but it is saying that I first need to install different kernel but I dont know how to do that because my recovery doesnt have that option. And Which 4.1 or 4.2 would you recommend? I already used jb. but camera doesnt work and It would be really pain if I want to take a quick picture and I would need to reboot my phone for different rom with working camera. And If I install kernel will it be set on both of the roms? or I can set different for both of them?. btw Thanks for reply
[LG Optimus 3D] niko22225:
I alreaady tried CM both 7.2 and 10 both didnt bricked my phone and I had CWM recovery working with them...and root too...
[LG Optimus 3D] Dr. Mario:
CyanogenMod works fine - 100%. The reason it get bricked is BECAUSE whoever installed it didn't even pay attention.

And regarding the CWMR in CM10 - it works. I used ADB-flashable version of OMAP4 BIOS (wkpark V1.25a bootloader), and flashed CWMR at the same time as an option.

P.S. I used SuperSU as original Superuser wasn't properly installed in the nightly distro of CM10. Nevertheless, root works fine.

P.S.S. The reason I bricked my LG Thrill 4G was because I was trying too hard. :p

Someone have an older radio version for XdaI?

I'm using 4.21, but it's problem with my GSM Card.

Can i have it? Then i install it again on my Xda?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] cruisin-thru:
I have tried to downgrade from 4.21, it doesnt work.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] samerfam:
I think you have to flash the rom for it, it is found at www.yorch.net
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] samerfam:
sorry that was a quick reply..you first have to lower your rom version to 3.14 or 3.17 the you can upgrade your radio stack to let's say R 6.24 which is the best radio stack ever. I have had many problems with other radio stacks but this is perfect.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] cruisin-thru:
Want to downgrade to the earlier xda stack from o2 uk.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] niki_liandi:
What is Radio stack 6.xx?

It is for a 900/1800 or something else?

Is it the best you thing?

Where can i find it?

I'm using ROM A 30.xx in my Xda.

But the radio stack still problem with my GSM Card. (Stay with the 4.21 RSU, can't change)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] samerfam:
in my opinion Radio stack 6.24 is the best operating system for the Gsm part of our xdas. you can find it at www.yorch.net under the title upgrades. all you have to do is unzip it and then send it to your device aftger that you run it from your device and you are all set. When unzipping you may need to use a software called winRaR . Something similar to winzip..not sure but if you try the normal winzip and you are prompted for a password than unRaR it. you can find winRar on www.download.com or any other site. Remember to send the unziped files to your device and then while your device is cradled go to windows explorer and then look for the files you have unzipped. One of them will have a .exe extension, simply double tab and then the upgrade will start. REMEMBER, RADIO UPGRADES ARE VERY DANGEROUS AND MAY DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE. YOU DO THIS UNDER YOUR OWN RISK.

RSU Downgrade

Hi,

I did the foolish thing to upgrade my RSU to O2 4.21. Now my phone keeps losing the signal and needs to be reset each time to get it back. I am desperately looking for an older version of the RSU. AT&T and T-MObile version won't do since they are for 1900 networks. If anyone has an older European RSU please contact me or send it to me.

Btw, you should be able to downgrade the RSU using an SD card and going to the bootloader menu, if everything else fails.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] prezimir:
Still no luck

I tried this one already (4.16) but it would not flash.

I have a couple of other versions also that I've managed to collect, even the Microsoft official RSU release for Europe but still no luck in getting to flash it in.

No matter what I try as a sequence I always get the 1% Flash failed error. Actually I have managed to increase to 5% Flash failed by changing the RSUpgrade exe with another version but that's the most I could do.

Weird as it is, the 4.21 RSU flashes all the time perfectly, so I guess it must be some kind of protection incorporated into it or maybe I am being paranoid ...

All ideas are welcome, I have tried so many things already that probably could fill up my own forum. If anybody managed to downgrade from 4.21 please let us know!

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] niki_liandi:
SamerFam. I've take a look at www.yorch.net for RSU 6.24

But i think it's compatible with USA ROM which using 900/1900 Mhz GSM.

Unfortun, my country didn't use that freq. They using 900/1800 Mhz freq.

I thought that would'nt work on my Xda.

Thanks for your opinion.

I'm using V4.21 (GSM 900/1800) right now. And i really want to downgrade it to the older version. But never works! Like i told u before, it's failed when reaching 1%. Any special software or something to make it possible downgrade? I'm to desperate! Pliz, help me!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] prezimir:
Hi again,

So I have managed to finally downgrade my radio stack from 4.21. Unfortunately the RSU version I put was not a big improvement so I will continue testing with other RSU versions until I find a good one. Keep in mind that I am not in the US so AT&T and T-Mobile RSU won't do.

Anyway for those who are still trying unsuccessfully to downgrade - it seems that the problem is in the RSUpgrade.exe program which overwrites the RS, not in the RS upgrade itself. So please try to find other versions of RSUpgrade.exe and run them with the desired RSUpgrade.cp64 and monitor* files. I have a version that worked and passed the 1%. If anyone wants to try my version let me know and I will put it online.

Good luck to all

downgrade radio stack

hi,

i did downgrade from radio stack 6.24 to 4.21

just use the 4.21 update from myxda.com or my-xda.com, i forget which one.

i did experience also the one percent problem. i guess it's software problem.

is there any newer radio stack which working with gsm 900/1800?

One more question, would you give me advice step by step how to downgrade it?

Thanks a lot!

RSU 4.21 downgrade

Hi All,

Let me first appologize for being offline for so long. Here are the details:

1. If your device RS is working PLEASE do not mess with it - you will regret it.

2. If you have already updraded to RS 4.21 from O2, or similar and are unable to downgrade because the flashing stops at 1% (or 5% or even 10%) then read on.

3. It seems that different RSUpgrade.exe's work differently and there are some built in protection from downgrade/upgrading some versions of RSUs like 4.21. Good news is that I have found a work around that worked in my case. If you have nothing to lose please go on.

4.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] prezimir:
Conitnued ...

4. Here is the RSUpgrade.exe that worked in my case. If you have a version of RSU that you want to install but the flashing stops, please run it, then replace the RSUpgrade.exe (in the /windows) folder with this one, and run the RSUpgrade. You could also copy the files manually - you will need the RSUpgrade.cp64, monitor_ul_bs.map and monitor_ul_bs.m0 from your RSUpgrade.

5. If you do not have RSUpgrade you can try the following:

a. Download the 4.16 from O2 and try it - I could not get it to work on my PDA at all but you never know. Here is the link (http://www.sourceo2.com/O2_Developers/Devices/O2_Xda/xda_ROM_Archive.htm)

b. Use the version that I have attached - it is from Microsoft used in their own devices so I consider it pretty compatible - just copy on the device and run.

6. Good luck and I will be happy to see some feedback how it went...

Question is, can you really downgrade the radio stack? I have radio version 6.25.02 on my XDA1(GSM900/1900) and I want to downgrade to 6.24.00 or the older ones. Using 6.25.02 radio, the sms I send are received by the recipients twice or trice and I am sure that I am charged with the extra sms. Can somebody tell me that downgrading is possible? Thanks.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] cgigate:
you will kill your phone , the 6.25.02 version is for GSM 900/1900 phone (USA version).

if you try to install V4.xx version (GSM 900/1800) radio stack, the phone could be damaged forever.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] pjfuerte:
cgigate: How bout downgrading from 6.25.02 to 6.24.00, is that possible? Would it still damage my phone? I found the 6.24.00 radio stack of T-Mobile from the yorch.net website under "downloads" link. Thanks
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] cgigate:
yes, I can downgrade 6.25 to 6.24, but 6.24 (test version) is nothing better 6.25 version (official release).

but upgrading/downgrading radio stack is a risk to damage the phone.

for some reason, I'm looking for old radio stack (<6.18 T-mobile or <A20 -SX56)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] pjfuerte:

also, my camera shortcut doesn't seem to work.

and, wasn't sure if this was only a HTC first thing or what, but i dont get a pop up notification (not the chat head things) for any notifications like Gmail or calendar. I remember seeing that in the presser, but think it might be a facebook home optimized device exclusive thing.

working pretty good on my phone. I am impressed with facebook's implementation here though.

if i didn't absolutely Despise facebook, i would probably use it. if there was a G+ home, i would probably be all over it.
