[General Questions and Answers] ConciliarPrawn:
Hi guys, I have a terrible problem with my samsung omnia w. i'm italian, so forgive me if you find some errors on this thread.

I interop-unlocked my phone with Heatcliff 74 last method, and it worked succesfully. But later, i encountered a bug (i suppose), that showed me a wrong use of battery. For example: the battery was at 100% at 7 am, at 9 (without using the phone) it was at 70%. I installed the app Battery status, and the graphics showed that the discharging of the battery was uniform, a not-normal discharging of battery, without space between using and non using the phone. I hope you understood what i'm saying. then, i restore the backup before interop-unlock and i re-did it. During this time my battery begins to inflate, it was huge and i can't put this because i can't close the back cover! i bought a new battery on ebay (1700 mah) and after two days of use i noted the bug was still present.

This is my sad story. You're my last expectation, what the f**k can i do? now i restored the phone, but without interop-unlock it's a bad phone.

Thanks for your help

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mattdamon78:
Hi Folks

Hope someone has an advice or opinion for a problem i have and did not find a solution searching through the forums. The 4.2.2 Bluetooth sound quality is no issue and also no distractions when using with my Parrot Asteroid in my car.

My problem is that when I am finished driving and have an active conversation running and I switch back to device speaker (internal or external does not matter!!!), the sound never comes back to the speakers but the microphone is switching properly to the device's mike iso the BT system. If I switch back to Bluetooth I get the sound back to the speakers of the car.

Same symptom on all the 3 4.2 ROMs I loaded so far (currently running on Dragon's Fusion ROM).

Thanks for any help!

[HTC Droid DNA] Yehudah:
Issue: When pulling up a contact and clicking on the email address (to send the contact an email), I get a message that says there is no account configured.

I have gmail configured, and I get and send from it all day long. So I don't understand why it doesn't recognize gmail as a valid account.

I set up my gmail account using "email" and it was fine. Am I forced to not use the gmail app, or is there something I'm missing?
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
Change the action so it's set to go to your Gmail account by default. I believe it's set to use the mail app in sense by default.
[HTC Droid DNA] Yehudah:
I can't find that setting. It isn't in contacts setting or gmail settings. I cleared the default settings in "mail"... but there isn't anything in gmail to make it default.
[HTC Droid DNA] RLGL:
In settings go to "App Associations-> mail

Thanks so much, now I've learned something new and very valuable.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aw9182:
Hi guys, I am hoping someone will have a solution for me. I've been searching the forums and I haven't been able to find an answer as of yet.

I did a factory reset on my tf300t for several different reasons that I wont mention here. Before I did the reset, I backed up all my apps and data to a micro sd card for myself and my wife who has a separate user account (Jelly Bean 4.2). Up until this point I never had any issues with the tablet recognizing the micro sd card. Anyway, I did the reset and was able to restore my apps and data back onto the tablet without any problems. I then went to recreate my wife's account and found that the tablet won't mount the micro sd card under her account. I then tried mounting a flash drive under her account and that wouldn't work either although it would work on my account.

So far I've tried cold booting, deleting and re-adding her account, and doing a second factory reset without any luck. I never had this problem before (on 4.2) until after doing the reset. So in short, I have no problems mounting storage under the main account, just under the secondary account.

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZehL:
So I have had this I9100 for about a year. Flashed with CM10.1 long ago and been reflashing new nightlies when i see stuff on the github log that address bugs I want fixed. Anyway the other night I put my phone charging, I didnt flash anything that night just a normal day. Next morning phone is dead. Wont charge, wont boot, no recovery no download mode, PC wont detect anything when I connect via USB. Odd thing is that now when the battery is inside the phone it starts heating up like crazy on both sides of the back camera/sim card slot, I guess where the CPU is.

So I searched for people with dead and bricked S2 and didn't find anyone with this problem, then I searched for people with other phones and again no one with this problem.

So I was wondering if USB jig would be able to help me, or JTAG, or if its just the usb board that died since it was while charging and it gives off no signal via USB to a computer and if I changed that it would come back to life.

What do you guys think? Was it the main board or is it just a fried USB board and the phone can't regulate power without it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Sounds like the USB board, but you never know until someone 'qualified' has a look at it. We've had a lot of similar problems on here over the past two weeks (this week in particular I've seen maybe 5-6).

Doubt a jig or JTAG would be any good given it isn't a firmware type issue by the sound of it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZehL:
I guess I'll order a usb board a replace it. If it doesnt work its not expensive anyway. About $10.

I was wondering if there have been a lot of people lately with this problem could it have been one of the nightlies that screwed up power management and fried the board?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Yep if you can get a cheap one 2nd hand it's no great loss if it doesn't work & you end up needing to replace the MB as well. If you need them, I attached the SGS2 service manuals to a post of mine a day or two ago (click on my name & have a look through my posts over the past few days) if you need/want them.

That's an interesting theory. Not being a dev, I'm not up to spec on whether anything at, say, kernel level could cause something like that to happen (In the 18 months I've been here, I've never seen a kernel/firmware pinned down as the cause of something like this), but you wouldn't say it's impossible.

Edit - Here you go, the zip is attached to this post.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZehL:
Thanks I'll try ordering and replacing it to see if it lives again. Will report back in a few weeks with results.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Yep let us know how you get on, if you need to know or think of anything else, post to this thread again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmonkeys:
Did you try the ole toothbrush trick?? Get an old toothbrush and put it into the usb port an go mad. Sometimes a film can be on the terminals of the usb port, which gives you a bad connection.

" Odd thing is that now when the battery is inside the phone it starts heating up like crazy on both sides of the back camera/sim card slot, I guess where the CPU is. "

This doesn't sound good!

Try that toothbrush trick first before buying anything :)

Also did you try another galaxy 2 battery? Your battery could be dead. Have you got a multimeter handy?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZehL:
Yep first thing i did was multimeter. Was at 4 volts. I'm going to try the toothbrush thing and report back.

EDIT: The toothbrush didn't solve it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmonkeys:
With the multimeter check is there a voltage coming from the battery. The battery by itself!. Next leave the battery out from your phone and plug in your charger (which is connected to the wall). Put the multimeter across the appropriate terminals of the phone and measure the voltage if any.

Report any voltages values you have
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZehL:
The battery gives off a steady 4.

The phone connected to the wall without battery gives off 1.3 when first connected or the battery removed and then very slowly starts dropping to 0 going slower as it drops. By the appropriate terminals i imagine you mean the ones that connect to the battery wherethe battery has the + and - symbols.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmonkeys:
That USB port is working, battery is fine. Next the screen might be dead. First check to see if the backlight is working. Turn on your phone as you would normally shine a light onto the screen and see if you can see anything. Use a flashlight or something with a high focused beam
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZehL:
If it was the screen my phone would still vibrate at the end of bootup right?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Bootloop is....well....a loop....a never ending cycle. ...if your phone is in bootloop it won't get far enough into the startup process to be able to vibrate. .....

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmonkeys:
Keith is right. Also not all phones vibrate on bootup, depending on rom and kernel.

Did you check to see if you can see anything on your screen using a light?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZehL:
My phone did. But i tried the flash light anyway. Nothing on the screen.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
That vibration normally only happens towards the end of a successful boot....so if you've felt that vibration, the chances are that you don't have a bootloop. .....the phone would *appear* to be starting normally. But if you can't see anything on the screen, your problems will lie elsewhere.....

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZehL:
So batery and usb charging normal. No screen problems, and heating cpu while off. Most likely main board fried? I'm gonna get some resistors to make a jig and try that anyway. Do you guys thinks 330k ohm will work too? I know its 300k ohm buthave some resistors around that add up to 330 and i wouldnt need to go buy more tomorrow.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Yeah...that CPU heating is a worry.....it's obviously being forced to do something that it wasn't intended to do....and it doesn't like it.....

And with regards to changing the impedance of the jig....probably not advisable. ....micro electronics is very sensitive to resistance and voltage. ...what you're doing with the jig is essentially bridging two connectors. ...

Impedance too low....too much current/voltage passes.....things might begin to get hot (best case)

Impedance too high.....too little current/voltage passes.....no effect.....

Sent from my Rooted, De bloated Stock JB powered S2 via PhilZ kernel and Tapatalk 2....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZehL:
Ill buy some resistors tomorow then.

I wad thinking does a normal s2 perform any operation that may involve processing when putting in a batery without turning it on?

I was asking this because it could be some sort of loop in some process it does when detecting a batery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Well, I'm sure I remember reading *somewhere* that Android phones have a secondary/simplified/low level kernel that runs even when the phone is switched off......apparently that was how some phone on verizon was hacked or something.......

Whether that's true or not....I don't know....

If it is....it could fit in with what you're suggesting....

Sent from my Rooted, De bloated Stock JB powered S2 via PhilZ kernel and Tapatalk 2....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZehL:
So if that was the case and that low level kernel was corrupt and looping then a jig would do no good. Only a jtag if I had that kernel image to reflash.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Sorry fella. ..I can't speculate or advise on this....

This is "uncharted waters" for me. ....

The one thing I CAN say, is that if there is even the slightest chance of a warranty repair with Samsung, DON'T JTAG....

JTAGing involves soldering the device onto....whatever it needs to be connected to. ....

Samsung will see these solder marks, say 'unauthorized rework" and deny warranty repair....

Edit....just reread your OP and noticed that you said the phone is about a year old....

I don't know what part of the world you live in, but here in the UK, I'm pretty certain that Samsung offers a two year warranty.....

Also from re reading your OP...

No boot

No recovery

No download

No charging indication when charger plugged in.....

This phone is about as hard bricked as it's possible to get....Which means that even Samsung can't revive it....which means they won't be able to see your ROM flash count.....

Which means....you need to find the receipt for the phone, call Samsung and try for warranty repair....they'll probably swap out the mother board. .....

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ps3hacker3:
He is very right on the denying of the warranty repair tread very carefully on what you do try
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmonkeys:
Now we are down to the mother board issue. You could buy a motherboard and replace it yourself (this is what i would do).

Heat is caused by too much power, blown capacitors or inductors. Fairly impossible to change unless you have the equipment and this equipment is expensive.

Next what i want you do down is open your phone (presuming that you are out of warranty). If you have warranty just return it and they will fix it for you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZehL:
I'm still in warranty. I think all of EU has 2 years warranty by law. So if i send it in and they are able to see the root and custom rom will they ask me before swapping the board and charging me? If i have to pay for it a rather buy a second hand board.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmonkeys:
Don't tell them you did anything. Just say your phone stop working.

Also you know by flashing a rom every night is not a good thing. I cant remember what the count goes to before you have problems. Search the forum and you will find out.

Try under warranty you have nothing to lose!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
The symptoms you have described are the same symptons that were being described in the ICS 4.0.4 brickbug thread....from what I read, in every case where the phone was returned to Samsung, they replaced the board without issue or charge.

If they did, by the slimmest chance, discover something that allowed them to charge for the repair, then I think that EU law states that you have to be contacted beforehand so that you can either accept or refuse the charges......

Just remember. ...

DON'T mention XDA

DON'T mention ROOT

DON'T mention custom ROMs

DON'T mention BRICK

DO say you were updating the phone via Kies, and then it wouldn't turn back on.....

Basically, play the 'average joe' Android user......

And let us know how you get on.......

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZehL:
Oh I know thats why I got the new cyanogen logs every night and only flashed when something i was waiting for got fixed or implemented. I flashed once a week sometimes once every 2 weeks.

Im gonna try warranty. If they notice the counter theyll just return it and ask me if i want to pay right? They wont fix it and charge me without asking me if i want to pay?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmonkeys:
You should be grand. They will not fix it if they notice a problem that you caused. No they wont fix it and charge you without your permission. Basically this will go down as a hardware issue. Not your fault!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZehL:
Ok then I'll go for warranty as soon as i find the receipt. Even if i dont because i'm a member of the store i boight i cab ask for copies of the receipt with my card number. So no problem there. I'll send it in and see if they fix it. I'll post back once i know if they are going to fix it or not.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1eli:
Hey guys,

Bizzare problem here.

I've been using call forwarding on my iPhone pretty much forever. Never had an issue.

I would forward to two different numbers depending on my location. - Work or Home -

The issue when I try to forward with my nexus 4 is that for the last few months, doesn't matter which number I would forward to, it would forward all calls to work. And recently it switched to forwarding all calls to home.

I tried using the call forwarding option in the settings and I've also tried forwarding using the input method being *21*phonenumber#.

Now, I still have my iPhone 5 and if I drop my sim card in there and proceed to call forward everything is always flawless.

I tried rebooting and this is my second nexus to do this. It didnt bother me before because I could forward calls to work at least, now they all go to home which isn't as important. :(

thanks for reading

What is your current baseband?

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ycats:
Last weekend I was at my folks' house in West Tennessee, probably about twenty-five miles from I-40. We hadn't been there in about 2-1/2 years. Since then, some Sprint towers evidently have been installed. For many years, once I got about five miles away from the interstate to head to their town, phone would switch to roaming and be like that the whole weekend until I got back to the interstate en-route home. I was pleased that when we arrived Friday night, phone had decent bars and not in roaming. I could receive texts, emails, get on the internet w/no issues. However, I noticed Saturday morning that I could not make an outgoing phone call, would get the message "your account is not authorized to make calls, please contact customer support to make changes, etc.". However, I could receive calls, and the other 3 lines from the rest of the family could make calls (iPhone5, Galaxy S2, Samsung Epic). So I used my wife's phone to call Sprint. They did a number of provisioning, reprogrammed the phone, etc. I gave them my parents address and they said the closest tower was 5 miles away and that may be the issue....but I said the other 3 Sprint phones can call out. I noticed that the boxes in Roaming Guard settings were all checked but couldn't uncheck them, found that strange. We went back and forth from Sprint only to Automatic, no success. I even did ##3282#, and edited several things, no dice. They were able to remotely uncheck those boxes in the guard settings, but still, couldn't make a call. We were about fed up and running out of options (before having to take the phone to a Sprint store far, far away), when the lady asked if I use Google Voice. I said yes, and that it's only for receiving voice mail (which I like, since it formulates the message into text/email). She suggested to disable it (which she did), then have me reboot and try making a call. Sure enough, that's what it was............so I've permanently disabled Google Voice. I was getting pretty frustrated not being able to make a call with my expensive device. So I thought I would post in case this happens to anybody else and could use this as a trouble-shooting tip.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t3project:
google voice shoud have no effect on you making calls. is your sprint number and gv number integrated or are you just forwarding your vm to gv?

I believe it was integrated (but definitely wasn't using a different phone number).
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] john:
hello,

i just bought a usb dongle class 1, with a capabilty of bonding over 100 meter. But as i have found on this forum the XDA II has only class 2 which only goes 10 meters. Is there a possibility to change the one on the XDA II to become a class 2? is it software-dependant? or is it in the hardware, and there's nothing to do about it? (hope there is!).

thanks for your help.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
i would very much asume that the class 1 dont send with as many watt as class 2

and i would almost surdenly asume that no software setting would be able to change this

maybe some bluetooth repeater could be able to if it were within 10m of the xda2 would repeat the bluetooth signal and making it stronger giving it a wider range
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] peter_altherr:
i fear i have to tell you that the operating class of bluetooth devices is defined by the hardware used. maybe there are solutions on the market which are class1 (100meters) allowing to set back to class2 for energy saving reasons or something else. but the other way round it would not work because the sending energy has to be significantly increased, which means more power consumption and that is not what we want to have in mobile devices. operating time of ppc's is much too short at all :-(

Always happens when you do a favour for someone......

Anyway, i have an xperia U stuck in a boot loop.

1. Ive unlocked the bootloader (that went all ok)

2. Downloaded a prerooted rom and tried to install through fastboot using command line. I couldnt get that working so i used the flashtool to install the rom that way. I renamed the rom system.img and flashed through flashtool and thats pretty where im at now....

If anyone could chip in that would be great
