Hi

I was prepping my Galaxy Nexus Android 4.2.2 GSM to be flash with it's first custom rom.

I rooted it while ago, and I've been flashing Rom since my Nexus One, but this is the first time I had my phone with particular issue.

I wiped dalvik and did a backup of the phone via CWM 6.x recovery, after rebooting the phone, nothing worked. I've had literally ALL my apps crash.

Crash with "Unfortunately XXXXXX" has stopped working with everything from the Google Play Store to my Rom Manager.

Any assistance with be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
Restore your backup from before the issues happened.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smartedpanda:
Oh will do, but any particular reason why it crashed?

EDIT: Found out the reason, my internal memory was full. Like 0.00kb left.

Deleted 20 apps, and some photos helped.

Hey guys, not quite sure where to post this so if it's the wrong section please move it.

So I'm looking for an app to lock the phone when I close my flip cover, I've tried many but all of them takes me to the app once unlocked again which is unhandy if I try to take a call, I have to open the dialer again

Are there any apps like that out there? I'm giving up hope.

Any suggestions are highly appreciated

Kind regards

Just i bought a 3 in 1 stylus and the dam screw thread inside the stylus has worn away and one half is stuck inside the XDA so its a bit of a bother, warranty job cause theres no way of me getting it without opening the case and voiding the warranty
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Rudegar:
well get a screw which is long enough and have the same screw thread and screw it in and pull out the stylus :)

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] JUICEe:
u wont void the warranty, if all u do is open the case, u'll void if u break the lil void sticker on one of the screws....which is still pretty easy to avoid wen unscrewing :wink:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] aao588:
I have the same problem before and I used a long threaded screw and guess what it came out and I dont have to open the casing at all.

Sure that will help you removed the other half that is stuck in there.

Good luck. :D
[General Questions and Answers] jealouslyAttentive:
Recently, I messed up real bad and I accidentally installed the firmware of a Verizon GS3 on a T-Mobile GS3. Now it is a Verizon phone :c I already rooted it so I can replace the firmware with a T-Mobile TouchWiz Stock ROM. All I need is the last step: to unlock the bootloader. Can someone (or anyone) please help me remove it? I am currently mentally constipated by the problem and I just have only a couple steps until I return it back into a T-Mobile Galaxy S3. Now that's the question. Here's the story of how it is what it is right now.

So one day, I was rooting my phone to install CyanogenMod because I wanted something similar to 4.2.1 Jellybean. I did everything except I didn't delete the Dalvhik Cache. So when everything was loaded, I see that my phone cannot open the PlayStore. In my mind, I reflect back a couple minutes in the past just to remember I didn't clear what I needed to. Idiotic me goes off and attempts to erase CyanogenMod 10 and I get stuck in a boot loop. I am in a state in which I call "mental constipation". I then accidentally and foolishly install the Verizon GS3 ROM and BOOM. I am in a worse situation. Fast forward today, I root the phone but as a Verizon Galaxy S3. I am almost done but I need to just unlock the bootloader and I am set to return it back into a T-Mobile GS3. So, can someone please tell me how to unlock the Verizon GS3's bootloader?

tl;dr turned T-Mobile GS3 into a Verizon GS3 and I need to unlock boot loader

I know this issue has been covered before on various occasions but I really need some help or recommendations as to what workarounds are possible to fix this issue.

I read pretty much every post, and followed every guide to fix the status 7 error. I was able to root, install CWM and flash any custom rom's prior to this error. Yesterday tried going from a custom JB rom to ParanoidAndroid rom by doing factory/reset wiping everything delvik etc, permission fix, factory data, system wipe etc... error appears failing every time no matter how many times I wipe.

I even flashed my stock Bell rom via Odin and rooted, CWM, and tried flashing but still get the status 7 error.

Any input would be gladly appreciated..

In first app u can set time flashing, how long should be flashing and even it wont solve you problem, that second app will turn on your screen for a while and it turn led flashing corectly, some roms has issue that led doest work when is screen off.

EDIT: First app is for everything....missed cals, email, facebook etc.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aklisiewicz:
I'm looking for portable (camping/hiking type) solar charger for Samsung Note 2 (T-Mobile version). Just bought GOAL ZERO Nomad 7+ Guide-I/O Plus (which is AA/AAA battery bank. When I plugged in my Note into the solar panel instead of charging it was draining battery, so after 2 hour I wen from 35% down to 19%. I did testing on the battery bank (from USB to micro-USB on the phone and it works fine). So my question is:

1) is it possible that the panel is defective or Note2 is simply so incompatybile with the whole world ?

2) is there any other nice solar kit that would work and at the same time is small and light enough.

This is also possible because Note-2 (as well as Galaxy-3) uses 11 pin instead 5-pin USB pinout...

Eventually I would like to charge also my Samsung SLATE-7. I plugged it to the panel through the lighter outlet (as I have an extra charger that takes the power from the lighter then converts it to the higher voltage/amps - I believe is is around 19-20V). The only problem is that (as I herd) charging this way would be pretty slow. I have spent several hours last two days trying to find something that would work but after my several bad experiences with Samsung I have to be 100% sure when I order something on line. In this case I was lucky as I bought Nomad-7 at REI store so I can easily return it. I've seen several nice chargers on line today but at this moment I cannot be sure that anyone of them would work.

Any advice appreciated.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monsieurtalbot:
The note 2 requires at least a 1 amp output JUST to run while you're using the device (ie screen on)... It will charge slowly at 1 amp with the screen off and the phone not in use.

1.5 amps is recommended minimum to charge while you're actually using the device...

2 amps is the stock wall charger...

USB 2.0 output is only 500mA... Which is enough to trickle charge the note 2 while not in use.

So basically... look for a Solar charger that has at least 5v 1amp (if not 2amps) USB output. That should charge it. Or it my opinion? Invest in a 11,000mah + External usb battery and separate Solar panel kit. Most solar kits come with dinky 4000mah or less battery packs which is barely enough to charge your phone once. (if that)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AlgoJerViA:
Is it possible to download the complete source code that Sony used when they compiled the ROM for Xperia V. I know where to find the kernel source and of course Android is very easy to get but what about everything else. I'm especially interested in knowing if they made any changes to Android or if they only cluttered the phone with add-ons.

Since Sony did abuse the phone and broke it to badly to make a reinstall possible I'm mainly just interested in getting the sources for my own education and understanding of the system. Perhaps even to try some simple reverse engineering to fix some really absurd settings like NFC not working in lock screen and such before I sell the phone and never ever talk about or to Sony again.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AlgoJerViA:
Thank you for at least answering me however, I have goggled a lot about this and the link you posted to the best of my knowledge contains only the kernel source plus a few other system programs that are used on the host side when compiling. I'm honestly quite surprised that the answer to this is not well known. I have also since yesterday tried to find out what branch of android is used but that too seem to be obscured in darkness.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
from what I am aware of those are the full sources used to compile the ROM, not just the kernel.

what do you mean by "What branch of android is used"
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AlgoJerViA:
Well, look at the size. It is about 250MB, about the size of the kernel. The Android source is in the gigabyte range, I also have downloaded and compiled the kernel and the file you download contains a kernel folder and a external folder with the helper programs I mentioned.

Well I can't links since I'm to new here but if you do a search for "Codenames, Tags, and Build Numbers" on Google you will see that there are several branches for each version of Android. But now when I looked closer at that list it just so happens that 4.1.2 only has one branch so you can ignore that question, i was tired yesterday and was looking for 4.1.1 that has more like six branches. Still seems hard to find out what would be the right one in that case.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
OK, I see what you want.

I am not sure where to find that info, but there will be some on here that will know.

Hi all.

I finally had to do a factory reset on my Verizon GS3. Poor performance and yellow factory mode text floating on screen.

Your bootloader is locked forever, unlocking isn't an option.

If you want anything other than stock you'll have to use Safestrap recovery and modified stock ROMs like everyone else with locked bootloader Verizon S3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ohh Im Edgy:
Safestrap is deprecated. At least their site says dev. Has stopped. There's probably a fork of it on github somewhere, but any safestrap you find won't be by the original developer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
The Verizon users(on many of the Verizon devices) are currently using Safestrap, the Safestrap they need is here in this forum.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ohh Im Edgy:
Thanks for saying that. I was actually looking for it myself about a month ago after a soft-brick and gave up when I found the info I posted already.

Is it the original dev or is it open source now?

I don't know, I use the Verizon S3 ROMs on my device but it isn't a Verizon device, but I spend a lot of time in the Verizon S3 forum, I see new users looking to customize their device all the time.

Here's the download for it

xdaforums.com/devdb/project/?id=2405#downloads

I use it on Straight talk, my device is a Straight Talk S3 SCH-S968C that uses Verizon towers, my motherboard is actually stamped with the Verizon SCH-I535 model number, its rebranded as Straight Talk's device. Only difference is they disabled the 4G on the Verizon S3 when Straight Talk rebranded it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
No, you can't flash AT&T firmware. That would surely brick your device. You can port the AT&T firmware somewhat easily, they are mostly the same but have different modems and a few other minor differences. I can link you to a thread for porting the US S3 variants.

If there isn't a way to unlock w/out data port, any recommendations for a reliable, quick and inexpensive unlocking service? Thx in advance...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] elbscorp:
There is absolutely no need to unlock phone to use with Straight Talk. Go to straighttalk.com and purchase an att compatible sim card for $15 and first months $45 service card. Works on any ATT,T-Mobile,Rogers, or unlocked phone using same tower frequency as ATT

At least theoretically it will work with phones with bad IMEI due to breaking contract etc. due to fact that tower reads new IEMI on sim card rather than one on phone.
