[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djwyman:
this same thing just happened to me about an hour or so ago also the loud speaker works but the ear speaker does not work. mine is currently in a bag of rice with the sim card tray out if the rice trick does not work is there a way to replace the speaker? Or will Google or LG possibly fix it for a fee? I know it is obviously not a warranty issue since it is my own fault it fell in the toilet but do they offer a repair service of some kind?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djwyman:
Not sure about the OP but an update for mine...after 2 days of sitting in rice my ear speaker has started working again. After one day in the rice it had started working but the volume was really low then today I pulled it out and it was working like new
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] admir3000:
similar problem

Hi to everyone, ihave a similar problem with my nexus 4. My ear speaker sometimes stops working since I have updated my phone to 5.0. Then I tried cm11 and 5.0.1 and everytike i had the same problem. Does this sound like a HW problem or is it is SW problem?
[LG Optimus Black] wdwray:
I have what is apparently an unbranded LG P970. I purchased it on-line from a vendor in Hong Kong, but it was shipped from Singapore. It arrived with Gingerbread 2.3.4 installed. Software version is LG-P970-V20c. The OTA upgrade option doesn't exist in this version. I have tried to update to ICS using the LG PC Suite / Mobile Support Tool; both tell me there is an update available. But after spending two hours downloading the file, it tells me it can't communicate with the phone. Adding to the confusion, the LG PC Suite identifies the phone as a P970, but the LGMobile Support Tool says it is a KU5900 with v10i software. :eek: Huh?

So I want to try using one of the official ICS KDZ ROMs but I don't know which one I should use :confused:. Does it matter which one? Any recommendations? Is there an Unbranded version? I'd like the one with the least bloatware and which doesn't disable features (like hotspot) as AT&T is fond of doing to their ROMs. I also prefer an "official" ROM; I've not had great luck wiht custom ROMs. Thanks.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Tulaine:
I recently added a USB printer and a USB sound device to my PC.

Since then my XDA hasn't been able to sync. :(

PC Device manager says the USB device (my XDA) doesn't have drivers installed and Windows can't locate any. The CD that came with it is just extras. (I recall when first connecting up how inpressed I was that Windows XP 'just knew' exactly what I'd plugged in a installed drivers from nowhere. ActiveSync just worked!)

Anyway.

What do I do now?

Can I get an HTC USB device driver so my PC can recognise my XDA again?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] dev_dme:
You could try to reinstall ActiveSync. That has helped when my PC someday did not want to recognize my MDA ;)

HTH,
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Tulaine:
Even though ActiveSync claimed to be working OK, I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and now everything is back to normal.

No problem... Its Microsoft, so the reinstall-way should work ;)

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Rizy7:
Are there any apps available that allows you to use the nexus 4 hardware keys (volume up, volume down) as camera buttons such as a shutter button. All solutions so far require a camera app replacement but none work on the stock camera app. It would be a really nice feature to use the volume keys as a shutter button on the stock camera app.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] EddyOS:
There is a ROM on the Galaxy Nexus called Cataclysm which has the stock Google (with Photosphere) app modified to use power button for shutter and volume for zoom. Would be nice if someone did something similar for the Nexus 4...

EDIT: I've PM'd the dev of the GNex ROM to see if he can mod the N4 camera app. Here's hoping!

That's right, you understand. and perhaps I just don't know what it means but, I don't think it "freezes" on the 4GLTE screen, it loads until that screen and then continues to be animate, rings appearing and disappearing, loading indefinitely. I don't know if that's anything different, but just in case that clarifies anything.

and I tried http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2040264 but to no avail. it always fails @ or immediately after the RECOVERY step.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Don Cross:
Recently I soft bricked my Arc S.

It was Rooted and Bootloader unlocked. Running well so I got bored and tried to load a custom rom. Failed!:crying:

Not worried tried to reflash. Failed!:crying:

Sent it off to an IT store they were able to get it up and running. On 4.1.b.0.431. Great! :fingers-crossed:

BUT now no matter what rooting tool or method I try I can’t root it. Bootloader says unlocked.

Tried Doomlords toolkit

And 3 others ways.... nothing

Should I try lock the Bootloader again?

Or

Reflash the whole phone again?? (which I am no good at hence the whole problem)

Any advice would be most appreciated

Thank you

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedRamage:
So after having my phone for nearly a year (Razr Maxx) I'm starting to have extremely poor battery life. For example, this morning I left my house at 7:00 at 100%. Spent maybe 20 minutes looking at stuff on my phone, browsing a couple of webpages. Then spent about 20 minutes reading a book and listening to music. Now at 9:00am I'm at 70%.

I suspect that there is something that isn't working right on my phone... that I have some program (possibly malware) that is chewing up data or processor time or something. I'm looking for some kind of a utility that will monitor what's going on and is able to report what programs are accessing data and processor power. Anyone have a good suggestion?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddjonko:
If yor phone is rooted, try Greenify app.

Lower the brightness, turn off haptic, gps. Also install auto task killer.

That should make battery consuption a bit better.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SohamJ:
First confirm if you have a damaged battery :

remove battery from phone and place on a flat table , if you give it a torque and it rotates means the battery is bulged

bulged battery must be replaced

if your battery is in proper

condition , to reduce battery consumption ,

freeze apps you barely use

remove unwanted apps , system or user

remove live wallpapers if any

decrease widget update frequency

install Ram manager app to see what is eating your ram.

It is not a password issue as I can still check my email on the Gmail app on the phone as well as if I go into the web browser it still accepts my old password.

Errors.

Hey crew so I am using this beast of a phone on ST with T-Mobile. I actually called At&T myself to get the unlock code and they actually gave it to me!( Ive never been with At&t)

So now that I got this bad boy rolling with T-mobile straight talk( because AT&T on ST throttles you nasty!) I have noticed that there are several network types.

Which one is the best one for T-Mobile since in my area they have upgraded their towers to 1900/2100. I cant use LTE on ST period, but i can use HSPA+ with T-mobile. What are you guys using for those of you using this phone with T-Mobile?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Herc08:
Well I don't have t mobile, but I am not in an LTE area. However, LTE devices are backward compatible. So you can use the highest settings for the carrier. I'm pretty sure t mobile is still on Hspa+. So using those settings would work. If not Google for the APN settings
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Jess813:
This is what I'm talking about
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Herc08:
Oh. In that case, that last option should work. T-Mobile is a GSM provider, but you want those HSPA+ speeds, so LTE should fallback to that. If you select GSM, you ,ay get GPRS or EDGE speeds.

Hello friends,

I am a noob in android world and Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100 is my first android phone.

I want to know that If i decide to remain on stock and dont root ever, is there still a possibility that i face SDS on my Note 2?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdomadia:
No,If your mobile is updated with latest firmware.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T511:
If you are on 4.1.1 update to 4.1.2 immediately by downloading latest firmware from sammobile.com or live.samsung-updates.com to your PC and update via Odin PC. The latest firmware for N7100 for now is N7100XXDMC3 . On 4.1.2 you are safe from SDS.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppn7:
So why some people get also SDS now ? How can it be possible with 4.1.2 Custom or stock rom ??

I see some thread with these issues, i'm afraid of flashing Custom ROM but i really want this and new kernel for undervolt.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naeem86:
Me too am afraid of putting custom roms. Is custom roms the prob or it will be getting the SDS regardless of the rom that is being used? Btw I am on stock 4.1.2 xxdlk7. Should I update to a newer version?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Firmware from XXDELLA and newer is considered sds-safe. Why are you still on this older software if you don`t mind me asking?

And no, the rom is not the problem. The kernel and recovery are the cause of SDS afaik.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
I like to edit.

Firmware from XXDELLA - I think this is for S3, I don't remember any LLA on note2

First ROM appeared to fix was last week of dec12, that was most probably LL7 but soon after release it was withheld by samsung so i won't consider it to be safe.

First 4.1.2 relesed appeared on Jan 2013 MA3 was believed to be safe.

The kernel and recovery are the cause of SDS - rather i say, cause of issue is bad chip FW Rev: 0xF1

Kerenl and recovery are basically tools used to fix the issue. samsung have add patch on kernel (and so recovery, as recovery also using kernel code) in a way that it can find bad chip FW Rev: 0xF1, and if it found such chip, it creates smart reports and modifies some command that can prevent sudden death.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Imranhakro:
Thanks alot friends for helpful answers.

But what i dont understand is that when the pfone is already working fine on 4.1.1 then what is the need to update to 4.1.2????

4.1.1 was also the latest firmware once, what went wrong with it now? what is the need to update firmware? if new firmware 4.1.3 (for example) is released then will i need to update again? how long this exercise would continue?

Btw, i didnt buy my phone from any carrier, i bought it from Samsung. Hense phone is not associated with any network. do i still need to update firmware?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
LOL you`re right, ELLA was from the S3. Sorry, my bad.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Already i have explained in previous msg.

Phone is working fine is OK, but it can cause issue at any time, and there is no trigger factor known. it can happen without doing anything. firmware updates are not compulsory but though considered to be recommended. and as far as 4.1.2 have fix for brick bug, i can say it is must unless you don't care for death of your device. still you can get replace of device if you have warranty intact.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clearday:
Please pardon if a bit off topic.

I have the insane chip (FW Rev: 0xF1) but my N7100 is currently flashed with CM 10.1 (April 04, 2013) nightly and TWRP 2.4.4. Should I still be concerned about SDS?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppn7:
So if we get a SDS, even if we are running with a custom ROM and another kernel, we can get the warranty because Samsung can not see which firmware and kernel are running on the phone, right ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clearday:
That will depend on how the technician attempts to recover the phone. If the phone is booted somehow with diagnostic program, then it is possible that phone may reveal that it has been rooted and the official ROM replaced.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Depends

If download mode show Custom binary flash non zero then you can't claim warranty.

But most of sds case I have seen, unable to read even counter. Though it's totally depends on your luck.

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] russelldias:
I know there are many Guides out there but most of them don't work for Pico!

so i decided to make one myself...

Things you will need installed on your PC

Notepad++

Winzip/Winrar

Q) What device should i port from?

A)These Devices are the Best!

Xperia S

HTC Sensation

HTC Sensation XL

HTC Desire

HTC Desire HD

Feel Free to try other devices

Base ROM and PORT ROM

Base ROM is what is Developed For Pico

Port ROM is what ROM you want to port for pico

Note: If you are porting a CM(PORT) which is ICS the BASE should Be cm9... same for JB

Now Let's start Porting!

Extract the BASE ROM to a Folder named Base

Extract the PORT ROM to a Folder named Port

Open Base ROM and go to system folder

DELETE "app,fonts,framework,media"

Open Port ROM and go to system folder

COPY "app,fonts,framework,media"

and paste it in System folder of the Base ROM

Open Port ROM and go to etc folder

Open Permissions Folder copy everything EXCEPT handheld_core_hardware.xml and platform

and paste it in the etc folder of the BASE ROM

Open Base ROM and go to system/etc/init.d folder

DELETE all files except 00banner

Open Port ROM and go to system/etc/init.d Folder

COPY everything Except 00banner

and paste it in the init.d folder of the BASE ROM

Now open build.prop And edit

ro.build.display.id=add what you want here

ro.modversion=add what you want here

Now open build.prop of PORT ROM and find

ro.config.ringtone=

ro.config.notification_sound=

ro.config.alarm_alert=

COPY there 3 lines and replace them in the BASE ROM's build.prop

Now Open updater-script

scroll down and find the lines starting with set_perm (there will be lots of them!)

Copy only those lines From PORT ROM's updater-script to BASE ROM's updater-script

If You find any extra file or folder in system folder of PORT rom than copy them to your base rom system folder.

Open updater-script from PORT ROM and copy all the set_perm lines and replace them with the lines in BASE ROM

To prevent bootloop copy

libandroid_runtime.so

libandroid_servers.so

libmedia_jni.so

from system/lib in PORT ROM and REPLACE it with the files in system/lib of BASE ROM

Now ZIP the ROM and flash it

If you have a error read second and third post :)

Thanks

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] IronFistYo:
^^

You are too fast codexblack
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
Personally.. Porting for me is :

adb logcat

Sad there is no mention of it.

Ps : Unpacked ROM should be less than 235 mb.. Zip size may vary.. but ultimately unpacked size is what we care about..

There is no particular method afaik. All "methods" fail at some point or the other. Nothing is foolproof.

Anywho :good:
