[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zomixy:
Hi everyone!

After a year or so of using cm7.2 on the i9000 i'm now facing a reproducible boot loop:

As it occured the first time, i made a nandroid backup via cwm, did a factory reset and reinstalled cm7, which resolved the bootloop. As i restored the data from the nandroid backup, the bootloop occured again and kept doing so when i tried the whole procedure again.

Is there any way to get the data (SMS/Contacts/Apps etc.) back without the bootloop?

Every suggestion is highly appreciated, thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muczy:
According to Google, SMSs are stored in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db, and contacts are stored in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/contacts.db (but they should be synced to your online Google account). Apps are stored all over /data/data I think.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zomixy:
i have accessed the backup via yaffey and found it, thanks.

the following might be a stupid question, but: how can i insert the exported files into the fresh flashed cm7?

Titanium Backup only let me restore the system files, but nothing from data/data :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muczy:
You could try to overwrite it (after backing up the current files) but I don't really know. I suspect these are simple Sqlite databasefiles.

I use the Plantronics M3000 Blue Tooth ear piece.

Recently I have been missing 1/3 calls because the Blue Tooth won't pick them up and if I try to answer them on the XDA it comes up with "Unable to answer the call".

I don't know if this problem is related to the BT device but I certainly didn't encounter it before I started using it.

Any ideas on what's causing the problems and how to resolve it?

Thank you.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] lummac:
Fully charged

First we have to do some error tracking

Is the BT headset fully charged,

Secondly when missing the call was headset bonded

Was Bluetooth enabled on XDA and BT haedset enabled

Then we can go to some more serious problem checking
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] diamondjimxda2:
Fully charged

Very good points. I think fully charged may be an issue, but not always.

I am confident with bonding and connectivity.

Points aside, can't I override the BT connection and just collect the call by pressing <Send> on the XDAII?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] lummac:
yes

Yes you can also accept the calls with the handset green button, and then still press the accept button on your bt headset to transfer to that afterwoods, and vica versa
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] diamondjimxda2:
So back to my original problem

On one out of three occasions I am physically unable to answer my phone with the green <send> button, it displays the message:

"Unable to answer call".

Does anyone know why this message appears? Is there a conflict with my BT earpiece or could there be another issue all together?

Thank you.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] madbart:
What BT headset are you using. I have both the Jabra BT200 & 250 and have had issues with both picking up call from the headset.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] oliven_99:
I use the same set up Plantronics M3000 and XDA II, I also get this issue.

However, If I don't get to the phone in time (when I don't have the BT headset on) I still get the issue, My guess is that I am trying to accept the call but the caller has ended........

unable to answer incomming calls !!

hi - on my xda 2 i get the same problem and i am not using blue tooth at all - the xda 2 occasionally wil not pick up the incoming call. having read other posts on this site i am under the impression that the phone aspect of the xda 2 is prone to glitches and is a weak point........... further information around this point is sought :?

I have had the "unable to answer call" message too. Without a BT headset. I was under the impression I got this message when the call had just switched through to voicemail but the XDAII hadn't noticed yet.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Arkobad:
Originally, my opinion was that someone is calling my non-voice number. I have three mobile numbers : for voice, fax and data. I have the fax-number redirected to my mobile box (it's integrated messaging system where voice messages are delivered by mail as WAV files and faxes as PNG files). But the data-number isn't redirected. On my previous GSM phone, when someone called my data number, the message "data call - connect terminal by cable/IrDA" was displayed. So on XDA I thaught that "unable to answer call" message is displayed when someone dialed my data-number. But it wasn't true - he dialed my regular voice number, so it is a

real serious bug

!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] dajtw:
Just to add to the record, I too have the problem of being unable to answer calls sometimes. This does not happen all the time though, every now and then but enough to be irritating. It's possible though I can't say for sure that pressing the 'answer' soft button rather than the green hardware button is more reliable as I've not had that problem with the 'answer' soft button.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
maybe some of those issues are a result of some of the more exotic gsm stuff like

and prepay'd sim and .......
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] farnold:
diamondjimxda2, I think your problem could be caused by something else.

I am - like you - with Vodafone - and I also use a BT headset (Jabra 200). Every few times I have the problem that I cannot answer incoming calls - bother with and w/o the headset.

For me it doesn't occur directly after a soft reset, but after a few hours of use. So far my best guess is a relation to some software and I currently suspect Pocket Informant being the source... at lest I noticed a few times that answering a call worked before I opened PI and didn't anymore when it is running.

Not that I now think PI is the problem, but something doesn't quite work together as it should...

By the way: my device information is

ROM version 1.03.00 USA

Radio Version 1.05.14

Ext ROM Version 1.03.43
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hackerpower:
I have a problem in my U.

Everytime someone calls me, first the led lights up, then it vibrates about 2-3 times in the middle starts ringing and only after all that the screen turns on so i can answer or reject the call.

After i answer a call sometimes it takes 3-5 sec to hear sound from the other phone, but the caller says he can hear me the whole time.

When receiving SMS, first the led lights up, then after a while it vibrates and after that it rings, but sometimes it doesn't ring.

Another thing, it lags to much to open the contacts, phone and messages app.

My wifes Tipo dual, opens almost instantly the phone app after i touch it.

I'm using The ROM, etc that are stated in my signature.

Please help!! Already tried different kernels, etc. :crying:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mirost1:
It can be something in the mods or it can be the rom itself.

Didi you get these bugs before the mods?

The stock rom sucks, mine did this as well, made the phone unusable.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hackerpower:
Already had the excessive lag opening the apps with a fresh stock ROM. Honestly i put and did so many things that i don't know now.

But i installed the Sliding XU 3.3 kernel and it's working almost fine now, only has the original lags opening the apps of the stock ROM.

So wich ROM do you use :confused:

I have been trying to flash NX-Kernel_v1.1.0 to my phone which is running Rootbox-JB-i9300-v3.9.1.

I have noticed that the file I am trying to flash is not a .tar, which is what I am use to, but a .zip.

When i use TWRP to attempt to flash it boots into download mode and does nothing.

I have also tried using odin and mobile odin but i think because its a .zip odin cannot even see it.

The thread is linked below. I have searched it and people seem to be saying that it is possible to flash with a recovery and odin/mobile odin, all of these i have tried.

the issue has already been found. The kernel is for a different device.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
It should only result in a soft brick... Bootloaders are the first to come (primary then secondary. Secondary passing the booting process off to the kernel. Recovery is in the kernel while DL mode is in the boot loaders.) Oh well. I make sure I don't do stuff like that. I'm really OCD and paranoid about stuff being just right. :P

Isn't that method for ICS instead of JB? You can look for a guide that tells you the steps with Odin (in other words: flash a custom kernel with Odin to give you root access).

There is no custom kernel for stock official yet and as i know the root operation the same for all OS and devices right ?

Of course there is. Otherwise nobody could use rooted JB-roms. Look for Siyah for example.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paranoid2007:
The single touch unlock seems to be caused by services activated under the "accessibility settings" (German: "Eingabehilfe"). This concerns Tasker, Lightflow etc. Set these to off and you need to swype to unlock.

I'm sure it's not your digitizer. It's the settings. This used to happened on my htc hd2 as well sometimes. I don't remember the settings of sense but if you do not find them just restore it to factory settings and it should be fine.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robrecht:
You're absolutely right. Thanks for solving this mystery for me.

I received my One today and at some point during the installation of my apps started experiencing the same problem: the lock screen unlocked with a single touch instead of a swipe. Turns out its normal function returns when I switch off all accessibility services.

Which is annoying, because I need those accessibility settings for Tasker and for my Pebble. I wish HTC made this a separate option instead of assuming that as soon as you activate one accessibility option, you must be physically unable to move your thumb accross the screen... :-/

It's not just that the lock screen doesn't really lock anymore; in the "productivity" setup, I can't swipe beyond the first calendar entry because it disappears at the first touch. I really hope HTC fixes this in an update soon.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nozobe:
I am having the same problem. This issue occurs also when you have to turn Accessibility Service on for apps like "Notify me" etc. The lockscreen unlocks with every single touch...

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robrecht:
Basically, yeah...

Thanks for the tips -- didn't know about the second one yet.

I'm a bit surprised there aren't more people reporting this problem. A lot of forum users here must be using Tasker, I can imagine, and have its accessibility service enabled, and therefore must experience the same lock screen defect. It's the only thing that really bothers me about this phone (apart from the fact that Zoe is practically unusable with Dropbox auto upload).
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsusx:
its obviously a htc issue because it affects other pieces of software.

which is crap really, cos we'd have more luck with dev for an app sorting it than htc ...

maybe a rom out there might have a fix, and yeah, totally see your point about tasker, suprised more people haven't said anything.
