re: charging issue

First thing I would do is to remove the battery and put it into the freezer for a couple hours,

then put the battery back in the phone to charge. (wipe the moisture off the battery first).

I know this sounds like a weird thing to do, but it's an old school trick which works most the time.

Once the phone starts to charge leave it alone until it has a full charge, don't play with it til then.

Wait before you follow my post.....when you boot into recovery, what color is the background and what is the color of the text?

|When Emotion Goes up, Logic Goes Down|
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nickcross88:
recovery mode is 5.5.0.4 CWM Black background with blue text. also has the top hat logo in the middle of the screen.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nickcross88:
Ok, i have loaded the provided .zip file to my sd card. however, it isn't showing up on my sd card when in recovery. It shows other files, but it won't show the new zip file or the new rom.

I see there is a setting under mount that says "mount external SD card" could this be the reason?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
No. External SD mounting is broken on 5.5.0.4. Update it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nickcross88:
I have fixed it. I was able to odin a stock .tar file on it 20 minutes ago. The only thing i am wondering about its that system info says i'm running 4.0.4. I am running the system update for it.

Thanks to everyone that helped me with my mistake. You guys are awesome!

Could this be part of the reason i was unable to flash cm 10.1 onto the phone in the first place? Should i update to the touch version?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
What you have to do is go to the play store and download ROM manger, open ROM manager and install the updated version of cwm, then you shouldn't run into any more problem when flashing ROMs, just make sure the recovery is always up to date.

No idea what's going on with my tablet.

Only getting sound out of left earphone. Have tested 2 pairs and on my mobile they both work.

I haven't dropped it or anything :-S

I tried blowing and nothing happened either. I must say, the jack does feel loose when I put the headphone in, i don't remember it being like that

It recognizes I have a headphone jack plugged in, if i wiggle headphone out a bit I get sound in both ear phones.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
Talk to Asus. They may do warranty services, since the headphone jack has nothing to do with unlocking, but there is no guarantee.

Thanks for quick replys man. Much appreciated.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thrutheeyes:
Asus created an RMA for me.

Hopefully its not customer damage or they will charge me.. I haven't ever dropped it or anything and I have a case for it.

I'm looking to see if I can fix it myself though hmm. Seems like getting just a jack is impossible and and guides on how to fix it too.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chuckinmd:
I am right on the edge of a the Verizon service and I don't get very good service to do much of anything. There is a tower that I can see from my house i think its a sprint tower but im not sure but every once in a while it will switch over to that tower and I have full service. Is there anyway i can program the phone to use that tower?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfgrrl:
I have the same issue as you, and here's what you can do - I"m assuming that you are home when this occurs?

Call VZW and tell them that you get very minimal service. Ask them when they are upgrading the towers in you area. If they tell you that they do not know, tell them they have two options:

1. Cancel your contract due to them not providing you with sufficient service. This IS a no-fee contract cancellation reason.

2. Tell them to send you a network extender for free. These normally cost $300.

I did this when I moved from a full coverage area to a spotty coverage area and in order for them not to lose me as a customer, they chose to send me a free network extender. You'll need internet access for this piece of equipment to work.

I had to go the Executive Customer Service route when I did this and spoke with Andrew at 412-266-7427 as he was the rep in my area. You'll have to look up the rep for your area. Go here: http://aboutus.verizonwireless.com/leadership/area/index.html and choose your region. You can then send an email to that person.

Hope this helps! Make sure you choose the proper rep for your area, though. That's important. :)

You should move them to your external SDcard and make another copy on your PC. Try to keep all the data in one folder, it will make your backup to your PC a lot easier.

Tutorial is already online

Hello

I just tried the tutorial on this site (using Google translate... because i'm not Italian) and IT WORKS!

*it appears i can't post links yet, so i'll post only the important pieces*

androidiani.com/forum/acer-liquid-glow/293539-definitivo-unlock-root-recovery-restore-mod-acer-e330-liquid-glow-link-aggiornati.html

I tried it before, but it didn't work because i didn't have the right drivers for my pc. Windows should recognize your Android phone as an "Android device", not a camera. Once that works, you can safely follow the instructions.

The download (E330Tools) is about 300 MB... Maybe, if I have time, I will try to contact the original author and create a decent English version. For now, you'll have to use google translate...

Good luck!

I've sent my Galaxy Nexus off for screen replacement twice now - both times, the Samsung UK repair centre in Norwich has said there is no fault found.

It's really not that hard to miss - I have a large area of different colours where the navigation bar lives compared to the rest of the screen. It makes landscape video watching quote annoying.

Has anyone else had problems getting out replaced? Mine was just 11 months old when I first sent it off, back in March. This time around, it was marked as repaired and awaiting delivery on the 10th April - I called today to find out what's happening with it, only to be told it was still on the premises.

Not really the service standards I'd hoped for - the handset was over £500 when I got it. :(

burn in is normal. this has been beaten into the ground already.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GreenMug:
I know it happens, though I'd hoped using the pentile display would've eliminated the problems they had with the Galaxy S and S2. My question was has anyone else had issues getting the display swapped when under a year old?

I think at this age, it's a premature failure. Am I mistaken?

Thanks,

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] times_infinity:
He's not asking if it can be fixed. He's asking if he can get his phone repaired/replaced under warranty because of it.

How the hell is it getting that bad!?? I've had my phone since Feb 2012 and I have ZERO burnin.

Are you using the damn thing as a nightlight/desk clock while you sleep at night???! Do NOT leave the screen on for more than 10min MAX with a static output. Be smart about this man.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enik_fox:
Lol with how many CLNR's I've gotten they havent had time enough to burn in
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FrostyF7:
Mine is much worse :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GreenMug:
No, far from it. Screen is always set to automatic brightness, with 30 second time-out. It's never been left on overnight, used as a sat-nav, or streamed vast amounts of TV or anything like that.

This is why I'm so annoyed - I don't mistreat it. And a phone of this calibre should remain defect-free for longer than 11 months, surely...

Rich
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] times_infinity:
This. It happens. I never leave my screen on for more than 2 minutes, unless I'm watching a video, which then the status bar and navbar are hidden.

So it just happens, unfortunately.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oubeichen:
Mine doesn't burn-in.but there are two brighter lines than other areas ,at the top and bottom of the screen.

1) Can I even call it IronManROM??

2) The wallpapers I found on the internet(by just going to google) don't really have any copyright on them, and they are not from marvel or WB or whoever....would you see a problem in using them in my ROM?

Does anyone have a good suggestion for a third party car dock that fits the First snugly and securely?
[One (M7) General] padsmcnulty:
Hi,

I have been with Orange for 12 years, with the current contract being in high 30/low 40 quid range. So far I've been reasonably happy with them and thought I'd upgrade to a HTC One (from a Sensation) and take advantage of EE's LTE (as my phone, etc now brands itself as EE). (contract end in 1 week)

Basically, no matter what I discuss with them they will not offer a single thing (not a penny, add-on, anything) if I move from Orange to EE (even though they are the same company more or less). They have said that because I would move to EE I would effectively be a new customer and that 'there is no loyalty offers/bonuses for existing Orange customers wanting to move to EE' and 'EE is a new company, we offer no loyalty offer to customers because all EE customers are new".

Can this be true? They offer no incentive for Orange customers to move? It'd not like I wanted to move to something the same price (it would likely to 5Gb contract as I would use it tether for work (London area)). I asked about 12, 18, and 24 month contracts and they said the same. It's the price stated on the web, no discount, no handset discount, nothing (18 month isn't on the web but you can ask for it and it's a £5 more a month plus the cost of a 12 month handset price!). I even pointed out that CwP and P4U had (slightly) better handset price offers on their website and they didn't care. Also said that if I was to treated as a completely new customer there was very little incentive to stay with an EE company then - again, nonchalance in all calls (three in total - upgrades and retentions)

I've search the other threads and they don't seem to answer my specific question, which is: Has any who moved from Orange to EE got them to give you any type of loyalty offer/bonus based on your time as customer on Orange?

Cheers

PS - are EE really doing that well at conversions...?
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Are you within 3 months of contract end date? If not then they will not offer you anything. I tried.
[One (M7) General] Dharkan:
Can't you stay with Orange and buy a phone without contract?
[One (M7) General] Tetsumi06:
Screw what you can out of Orange on a new contract then, after 2 weeks I think it is, you can get a free transfer to EE.

Edit: last time I read the Ts n Cs I think the only drawback was that you had to sign for a new contract with EE that had to be the same length or longer than your existing contract.
[One (M7) General] dobknobby:
One problem with this though,

He wants to use LTE. . . faster internet, Orange and T-Mobile cant offer this in the Uk as of yet (Even though there the same Company as EE) and dont know how long we have to wait, so the only way to get 4G LTE is switching to EE. . . It Sucks. . .

I feel sorry for ya man, but on the same subject, if you went to CPW or P4U or something, wont you be able to get a better deal? Free handset etc etc. . . i find these companies never give me a Upgrade deal, so i always get a PAC code and take out a new contract. . . unless you spend and extra £30 a month on top of your bill they dont wanna know!
[One (M7) General] nk7600:
There is no such thing as loyalty and hasn't been for a long time. Shop around & save yourself some money.
[One (M7) General] Iamnorthener:
I moved from TMobile to EE and got the HTC One and 5gb of data for £46 for 12 months. 4G is amazing with the phone.
[One (M7) General] ant78:
How did you get 5gb for £46? That's the tariff for 3gb
[One (M7) General] godofwar424:
EE are **** for customer service.

Also their contracts are a god damn joke! 41 a month and still pay for the HTC One!? Can piss right off!

Mate if you want LTE I would go with O2 or Vodafone as they will have LTE by Summer :)

OR buy the phone SIM Free, then get a SIM Only 12 month contract from EE £26 a month 1gb data unlimited minutes/texts
[One (M7) General] padsmcnulty:
Hi,

Thanks for all the responses. So, it does look as if Orange really aren't offering anything at all for existing customers to switch to EE. A shame as before with Orange I have always got some sort of loyalty deal (it's got worse over the last three years mind). Normally no handset fee, up to 10% of the monthly fee, and 18 month contracts at the same price as 24 (and once a free MMS package but then never managed to resolve the issue that I couldn't send MMS on that phone throughout the whole the contract - I did try(and apparently so did Orange, hmm))

Just to reply to some posters.

I only have just over a week left on my contract.

It'd be great to get a the phone not on contract but £500+ is a pretty big chunk to pay in one hit (I know you end paying it anyway, but it's easier if spread over the months)

I don't think Orange or T-mobile will ever get LTE, EE as the parent isn't going to let them IMO

I had thought about this, getting it on Orange and switch but their offer only lasts until 30/04, and knowing Orange the delivery will either get delayed until 01/05 or they'll be some hidden gem of a T&C. I might look into it though and if it works out cheaper try and talk to them. (though the cc these seem to be so gleeful that can't do anything for you...). Also, because I am looking for a 18 month deal it might be difficult.

£46 for 5Gb! If that's a 12 month contract that £16 cheaper per month! How!?! Did they charge you for the handset? I'd double check with them that you're on the right contract (I've had '18 month' deals that when processed became 24, leading to two weeks of irate conversations and then them finally conceding - sometimes I think they have a policy of mistakes and obstruction in resolving them in the hope you give up, but maybe I'm being old and cynical.)

I had talked to them about waiting for O2 or Vodaphone (I had thought about 3 but not sure if their rural coverage is any good, I do spend a bit of time up in Yorkshire) and they don't seem to care a jot. Also O2 and Vodaphone have announced their intention to make 4G a 'premium' product so can't see their prices being dramatically different. Especially as HTC One on O2 and Vodaphone with 4Gb (of 3G data) is £47 pm (24 months). I have a feeling that as EE have set their prices at this the level the others won't be dramatically different (think the big energy companies). Three might be an option but as I said I do worry about outside of urban area coverage. Also O2 4G spectrum purchase wasn't great IMO.

Anyway, if anyone has managed to get anything more (or not), let me know or feel free to rant about Orange/EE. If I ever do manage to get a deal I'll let you know so you use it a bit of a stick to beat them with (but I wouldn't hold your breath).
[One (M7) General] Tetsumi06:
Pads: I haven't looked today (well, this week to be honest) but check out TopCashBack for cash-back deals.

I switched from 3 to Orange to get HTC One on day of release. Went through P4U initially on £36 for 24mths with beats plugs. Next day saw TCB offering same deal, through P4U for any 18mth contract AND £101 cashback. Phoned P4U, changed to the 18mth with plugs AND they threw in £100 cashback as well.

All because the cretins at 3 refused to offer me the phone for free (I'd been with them on top contract for 10 years.)

There's no point me paying for 4G ad I'm in Wales. We might get it in 2015.
[One (M7) General] BenPope:
Quite a while ago (ive been out the country a year and a half, so probably 3 years) I moved from Orange (to T-Mobile, so that doesn't help you) because they wouldn't offer me a sensible deal.

You're better off on a cheap tariff and over spending rather than getting an all inclusive package if you want a good deal.

Screw 'em, just go with the best deal you can find.
[One (M7) General] n1kos:
Better wait for other companies to roll out 4G, the monopoly of EE is just stupid and the prices are rip off.

[One (M7) General] silas184:
I finished my 3 phone contract with Orange (after 10+ years) at the end of my contract. They basically shrugged their shoulders when I said I must have unlimited data. So ended, preordered two HTC Ones from mobile phones direct. Because of HTCONE delays just took temporary PAYG Sims for a month. Now have 2 year T mobile full Monty 1000 mins talk, unlimited text and data for £31 a month phone free. Only 3G. but who cares they haven't got 4G where I am anywhere. Walk with your feet everybody loyalty means nothing in phone business. PS keeping original numbers is easy now.

I think Orange are overpricing their 4G and when people start getting their over the limit charges are they going to get some stick.

Hi guys, i have the following question

I'm gonna buy a samsung galaxy s2 today (sorry, s3 is 800 dollars in my country, not affordable for me) and obviously i will root and flash it.

I'm asking which mod would be the best? As i love testing them all but i'm barely at home so i don't have time for testing a lot. That's why i need you to tell me some of the best roms here, and if jellybean is the most suitable for us.

I'm not looking for a lot of customization and things, just aosp or aokp , true android experience, not touchwiz and anything

and if possible i think the s3 breaks encryptation on wifi hotspots, is it possible with s2? I hope it can!

Hello, hello, hello :)

I've decided to close this thread.

Although intentions are good etc, let's be honest, it's a little lazy :P

The problem with asking people for the best ROM, is you're actually asking opinions, and opinions vary from person to person. So the best thing to do, is just to have a little look in the Android development sections, look at the features offered and make your own decision :) Search is always your friend!

I'd like to see a little less of these best ROM threads please :)

Thanks a lot,
