I don't get it, whats the warranty good for if shattered glass voids the warranty?...

the whole phone is practically a glass statue.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BNCole:
Exactly. The glass breaking randomly should be covered by the warranty, since it's the damn problem. They even updated the design to include nubs on the bottom of newer models to prevent the glass from touching any surfaces 100% flat.

I had to order some plastic tools to open the case. They should come tomorrow. The new phone hasn't came either, ordered Friday night.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] username8611:
it may be a manufacturers defect, but the fact the device is going to be tampered with, and opened up; at least from a business standpoint, they shouldnt have to replace it. i hope it all works out for you, but on their end, giving you the refund/replacement would be questionable business practice. they lose money from it but gain customer satisfaction... tough call lol.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BNCole:
Update:

My pry tools came into today and I was able to remove the back. I then removed 1 battery screw and I cannot remove the second one. It is so ridiculously tight that it started to strip the screw. I switched to a flat head that fit exactly and the screw bent the flat head. (cheap metal i guess)

So my plan now is to go to the hardware store and get a brand name 1.0 precision flat head which will hopefully work. If that doesn't work I think I have a small enough drill head to drill the screw out.

One problem after another... this phone is really pissing me off.

Hi I get this message whenever I plug it in to charge. I saw some threads but none of them had any solutions. Does anyone here know how to fix it?

Also, I read that samsung is replacing phones that are hardbricked due to a hardware problem. Is there anything that prohibits you from recieving the replacement if the galaxy s3 is hardbricked?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ostap027:
I had a similar problem with my Galaxy S2, some people said that it is necessary to replace some controller on the motherboard. But I have not found a solution.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bobolinko:
The simplest workaround is to get an external charger where you take the battery out of the phone and insert it into a charger to do the charging.

I have 2 batteries and an external charger. That enables me to charge one battery and still use the phone with the other battery. You can always have a charged battery for use that way. I bought the external charger for $5 from Ebay

I haven't really kept up with the development of this tablet but my prime us rooted, unlocked and is running a custom JB ROM. Can anyone point me towards a good guide to keeping root and flashing stock JB? Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HyperShad0w:
Just to clarify, I don't necessarily need to keep root ... I just want a stable rom that doesn't give me problems. If I get to keep root, all the better.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tweeny80:
I'll point you towards HairyBean. There is 1.51 based on JB 4.1 then there's also 2.11 based on 4.2. Both are rock solid, and you can choose how much fat to keep. Also could try NRGZ28, same thing goes for his ROMS plus he offers a themed version. Go ahead and don’t look back. I like these two because they’re based on stock Asus Rom so your tablet remains looking familiar.

Hope that helps.

I have a problem too the same here
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jamison904:
Ok guys, these are modded versions of TDJ's tools to add the preload partition. This should allow you to wipe cache and dalvik without jacking up the symlinks. Also for you guys having issues installing a ROM, the superwipe should fix that. First flash the ROM and reboot (important), then if you are having issues flash the super wipe and then the ROM again. Reboot and you should be good. :cool:

Thanks again TDJ!!! You rock bro.

I used these scripts installing a ROM and I am having very serious issues. I was using Clockwork and when I rebooted I got stuck in a boot loop. I booted back into recovery but I was not getting fully back into recovery. I tried several times. I finally ODINed back to stock but I can't get the ****ing phone to boot up. It gets toa popup that says ""unfortunatley google partner setup has stopped" and then if I clear that "Google account manager has stopped", "google calender storage has stopped""unfortuantely the process com. android.phone has stopped". ****. I have tried ODIN to 3.5 stock and 4.0.3 both having similar issues.

Anyone have any idea, may have absolutley nothing to do with these scripts but any ideas would be very much appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jamison904:
What are you running and what are you trying to flash? Wouldn't be the scripts as they only wipe, format, align the partitions.

I was running CWM 6.0.2.9 touch and trying to flash the StockWalk ROM. I don't know if you have seen something like this before but it seems like I am totally unable to install any GAPPS even when flashing stock ROM in ODIN. I had flashed the same ROM before attempting to use the scripts, the reason was that I was unable to add my google account (may be a defect in the ROM but others are saying they have not had issue).

*when I say install GAPPS I am just refering to the ones that install on TW ROMS, I am not flashing a GAPPS file of any kind
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
OK so I thought I knew enough to not feel like a noob, but here I am with three questions.

First question is what is a "preload problem"?

Second question is this will only work on 4.1.2, and not 4.2.2 (CM 10.1)?

And the third question is will using the original DS wipes mess something up?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:
T mobiles 4.1.2 loads a preboot partition. Wiping cache with anything but these scripts also wipes these partitions. This script is modified to not do that. No preboot partition = boot loop.

Thus, if you're on anything BUT Tmobiles 4.1.2 you don't need this script and there's no advantage to using it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jamison904:
I am not familiar with StockWalk ROM. Its TW base I assume. And 4.1.2? What was your exact process? Just trying to trouble shoot here, thanks.

The preload issue is something that we are dealing with in the new TW firmware. Do not use these on AOSP/CM/AOKP or you will have issues. People who dont or have not flash the new firmware with Odin will have major issues because their devices are not setup for the new preload partition. All of our custom ROMs will set them up for this preload partition but it isn't as clean and not fully successful with some devices. These will fix this issue. Also when on 4.1.2 TW some have radio issues and these will clean the partitions and align them correctly. Then you can flash a new radio successfully. Last the new preload partition is symlinked and using recovery to wipe cache and delvik will break these symlink, causing issues and instability. The Infamous cache wipe will wipe cache and dalvik as well as fix permissions, all without breaking the symlinks.

You can still use the darkside tools on 4.2.2 or 4.0.4. :cool:

Hope this helps.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:

I am the one building stockwalk. i took the preload folder out in my latest release and i can wipe all day long without using a superwipe. i also took out the references in the updater script as well. if you dont mind i would like it if you could look at the updater script in my rom and see if i did indeed solve part of the issue? I seem to be the only one who decided to take it out (btw that user was posting about an older version of stockwalk that still had the preload folder, it wasnt removed until 1.0.5)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Octane70:
Rushing pulled his preload folder out in his rom as well. unfortunately i had problems trying to get it to boot as well. I believe biggest thing is is not to cache wipe after you install.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jamison904:
Good deal man. I'll check it out tonight when I get some time. If removing preload works for you, good deal. The issue is that these devices were never meant to run Jelly bean and the space becomes an issue. Theoretically removing it could lead to low space on the system partition and even device lock ups. This is why myself and others left it in place and I made a work around until both recoveries are updated to address this new partition. Also keep in mind that anyone coming to your ROM and vice versa could run into compatibility issues.

But either way, welcome and thanks for contributing.

I have 1.66 gb of device memory free. . but I didn't just remove the preload folder,I also edited the updater script so that it doesn't even create a preload partition.that's why I want you to take a look at mine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Octane70:
If you dont mind me asking asking. What do you have left on your system partition?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NerdmastaX:
that is the system partition i think, 1.65 gb free out of 1.97gb under device memory

usb storage shows 11.22 gb free out of 11.25

and my sd card has 4.84gb free out of 7.40gb

ive been listening/watching youtube and pandora all day in hd and no memory issues. also the preload folder isnt so big when you take out all the crapware and move apps like gmail and maps to data/app for easy uninstallation. but i also removed the lines in the updater script that reference the preload folder. also when moving certain apps to data/app you need to make sure the accompanying data is in data/data in a folder of the same name as the apk (without the number of course..)

a good way i found to get that data is to install the app from the play store and run it once. then open the data/data folder under root and find the folder for the app, now press home and go to settings>manage applications and force stop, and clear the data and cache. now hold home and switch back to your file explorer in your data data folder. that folder with your apk's name should be much cleaner and empty than before. copy that folder to your sd card or wherever so you can put that in the data/data folder of your rom.zip

right now im trying to find an app to check raw partition info that works on this device...

aha diskinfo....

system 39.6 mb free

data 1.6 gb free
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
use a rooted explorer to go into the / root files and scroll down to preload.. even if its not physically there it is using space about 122.9 MB

its not adeal breaker for me but some wish they had a larger data partition.. gee thanks Google what are you thinking lets see 200,000 x 1.22MB

thats 240,000 MB wasted for the SGS2 users on XDA only 240 GB =] or one fourth my hard drive.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NerdmastaX:
but just to clairify if we use the preload partition does that mean we need a special cache wipe every time we flash a kernel or mod? and what about mods that wipe cache+dalvik?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jamison904:
True. Guess someone was thinking ahead... just in case kind of deal.

Not 100% on the mods that are written to wipe the cache and dalvik. I haven't had time to look as well as I dont have the device anymore so I haven't tried personally. Until the two recoveries are updated to address the preload partition, I would say yes use these instead of through recovery. Luckily it is quick and easy so should make that big of a difference time wise. You are more then welcome to continue experimenting and let us know what works for you. I would just tell your users to keep using these meanwhile.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NerdmastaX:
well i think for now while we wait on recoveries to be updated im going to stick with not using the preload folder for now. i have 77.3 mb free in system with my 1.2.0 and all i really removed was some wallpapers, widgets and swype. is that a good amount of space for system to have? or do i have too much or too little.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jamison904:
It all depends on what you plan to accomplish. In S3 ROM for example, my SystemUI.apk was only 2mbs stock but after all the modifications and tweaks I have added it is now about 18mbs. This is true for a bunch of other system apps in my ROM. I have easily added over 100 mbs just from tweaks and modifications to the smali's as well as res folder. This is just what is included with my ROM. Now you have to consider what the everyday user may want to flash/add that might also increase the amount of used space. When you factor this in it is very easy to fill up that remaining space and cause lockups. The user would have to wipe the ROM and start fresh until it happens yet again... or they may move to another ROM that does have this issue. Just some food for thought.

I noticed that the latest TWRP that came out on 4/9 (2.5.0.0) has an "advanced wipe" option that brings you to another screen that contains checkboxes for the various partitions, and "Preload" is listed at the bottom.

Does that do something different than what these scripts accomplish? I was just wondering, because I was checking that box between flashing a couple of JB roms.
