I9070 seemingly random reboots

My girlfriend wanted a new phone but it had to handle the most basic tasks like mail, sms, whatsapp, calling and some social media.

I went through some phones and ended up getting the samsung galaxy s advance / i9070.

We soon ran into trouble with this phone, which after opening the box I immediately upgraded tot the most recent android version, which was 4.1.2.

The phone lagged a lot, and I mean a lot! There where random hangups during calls and up to 5 times a day the thing would automatically reboot itself. Very annoying an impossible to use, so we brought it to a service station after the 5th factory reset. The guy behind the counter who was in service of samsung couldn't help us, the only thing he could do and did was putting the abomination through it's 6th factory reset and upgrade to latest android.

Needless to say, the object of my nightmare soon ran into its same daily tantrum routine (I'm still talking about the phone, not my girlfriend, however it didn't actually affect her mood in the most cheerful fashion) of rebooting, dropping calls and lagging. So we sent it to samsungs repair station. When we got little lucifer back, we got a nice letter saying, not to my surprise, they "couldn't find any hardware issue".

At this point you could cut the tension in the house with a knife, so I pushed my girlfriend to let me at least try to install a custom rom. Best. Decision. Ever.

First I went ahead and installed carbon. Very smooth, but after a couple of days the phone would fall back in its old habits. So I decided to try slimkat. Again, such smooth, wow. And again, just a couple of days later, the hellspawn went back to taunting its owners.

I'm now down to my last try, cyanogenmod. I slapped it onto the phone and we allready have 2 days without accidents. I believe it's something of a record, allthough the champagne stays corcked. I need assurance that thís time the effects will actually last.

After wasting your tine with my rather cynical/sarcastic blabbering, here's the question.

Should I expect the issues to return? How will I prevent the issues from returning? Is this familiar territory concerning the i9070 or do we just have bad luck? What chances do we have when we take this to court? Ok the last one was just kidding, but damn that phone and conpany...

PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Okay. Now, I already have CM11 M10 installed on my Sprint S3 but what I’m trying to do right now is install KIES_HOME_I535VRBMB1_861013_REV09_user_low_ship_NOWIPE.tar via ODIN. I put the phone into ODIN Download mode and selected KIES with the PDA option but for some reason it fails every single time. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. I was able to do this in the past without wiping the phone. What’s wrong?
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
No. You can't.
[General Questions and Answers] grinder777:
This phone is a little out of date... IMO a 4.1.2 custom ROM should give you the best experience with that phone.

This lagging you have is - IMO -caused by the use of one or another app requesting too much resources... perhaps facebook... try to find out which app is disturbing your phone most and try to live without or with an alternative. 'Fast for facebook' is quite good...

Good luck and keep on

Having fun!

[General Questions and Answers] IcY~:
Guys I really need your help.

So I tried to update my phone firmware(Asus Zenfone 6) automatically using the official way from v1.16 to 1.18 but it failed. So I tried to do it via fastboot and my phone keeps restarting and the memory card isn't detected. I sent the phone to ASUS for a warranty claim but they said my warranty is void because I dropped my phone and there is a little scratch on the aluminium bezel... WHICH IS IN NO WAY RELATED TO THE memory card stop working and the phone restarting. And now they want me to pay to fix the software, which is expensive for me.

So after I sent the phone, I did some research afterwards and I found out that it's not possible to upgrade from 1.16 to 1.18 immediately and you need to do it version by version, so its 1.16 > 1.17 > 1.18. What I want to know is if I can fix the phone if I successfully update from 1.16 to 1.17 and to 1.18? Because I'm not sure if updating the firmware can fix it, since I've only been playing with roms that usually fixes bugs like this on my previous phone(S3). Any help appreciated. :crying:

Hi!

I just got my Vibe Z 2 days ago. I ordered it from Aliexpress and I recieved it with google play store already installed etc.

When I finally found the english version of Lenovo Smar Assistant and plugged my phone in it wanted to update it to VIBEUI V2.0_1437_7.44.1 ST K910.

Now my phone has VIBEROM V1.0_1407_2_ST K910. (And 4.2.2)

My question is that if I update my phone to this newer rom Google Play is still going to be on my phone?

Thank you for your answers in advance!

phone reboots (full) every morning (fstrim), how to fix that?

Hello I have HTC Desire HD (ace) and Cyanogenmod 11 M10 installed from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2533007

I have encryption enabled.

Every day around 4:15 (am) my phone reboots completely, asks for the encryption password, my simcard pin and my unlock pin.

So basically I can't receive messages *and* the alarm clock on the phone doesn't work until I get up and insert my credentials.

These are the last lines for `adb logcat`:

[ 10-01 04:15:01.194 1504:15327 I/fstrim ] Starting fstrim work...

Note that there is no success/done message from fstrim. Nothing else appears in the logs (afterwards), the connection breaks on reboot.

I read fstrim/TRIM is included in CyanogenMod, but I don't know if the full (!) reboot is intended.

So my questions are:

Is that reboot normal?

How can I deactivate the periodical reboot (or fstrim altogether)?

Question about Turbo X G440

Hello guys.

Your guides were a blast and really helped me a lot in the past rooting my old Google Nexus, my Xperia Mini Pro and other various devices but this time I;m disappointed form what I got. (Note that I searched forums before posting and couldnt find anything) I recently got a no brand smartphone (it comes in Greece under the Plaisio Turbo-X- label) and its model is G440. (I cant give you the link because im a new member hehe but just type in google turbo x g440 or msg me for more information )

Phone specifications: Screen 4'' WVGA TN 800X480 pixels resolution, CPU 1.2GHz Dual core MTK6572, Cameras a)0.3MP frontal and b)2.0MP back, Memory 4GB ROM & 512 RAM, Battery 1300mAh, GPS, Android 4.2 (more specifically Kernel 3.4.5 K233_MP_P2_V03 2333E3M2_JQ3-V005.

My problem:

This mobile comes with pre-installed another Market not google play and also GPS wont work (also has another software which ofc you must pay :P ) Also some services as GMAIL ofc werent enable so I couldnt sync my location or my mails and also other apps such as Youtube,Swarm or anything couldnt be installed or used. :( So after a lot search (really a lot of hours searchng on the net and on your forums) I did one million different things. I managed to root my device and added a few Google play applications and extensions. This made some applications work but kept getting a lot of critical errors plus GPS wasnt enabled even then. I tried to flash it but something must be terribly with the software or the device itself (some kind of lock i think) because when I use the USB n Flash or in general with the mobile turned off it keeps connecting and disconnecting every 2secs.forever. and its not windows or cable problem cause Ive changed 3 pcs (2 WIN XP-1WIN 732b) and 4-5 usb cables. Note that it does that also with the battery on and off. Do you guys know a guide for flashing this phone back to zero? Maybe someone more expert (im a total noob on these subjects) can find according to my phone specifications something similar to take the guide from? And as more analytic as it can be with the proper Kernels, ROMS, Tools and etc.

Thanks in advance!

Update 1/10/2014(later the evening :P ) After further search I found there is a relevant model called Oppo R821T FInd Muse(same charaxteristics exactly plus when I enter my softwares numbers on internet pops me with Oppo mobiles) . In order to upgrade rom/flash and etc I followed a guide from here, download all the necessary files and when I m in recovery mode and I choose update from SD card, I find the zip file, select it. The procedure starts about about 40-50% i get an error msg. Error: Invalid OTA package. missing scatter. Installation aborted. Any ideas? I was getting this message form the beggining when I tried to flash other stuff before. Maybe somebody can give me a scatter file (I dont have the slightest idea whats that anyway) and put it manually in sdcard or phones sd place?
[General Questions and Answers] JonnyJD:
The CM11 launcher is called trebuchet. You can create a new screen by dragging an icon to the right edge of the rightmost screen. It doesn't seem to work on the left side. It should also create another screen when the rightmost screen is full and you add another app icon, although I didn't test that.

I personally installed ADW.Launcher (available on F-Droid and Play Store, can't post links yet). That Launcher was also used in previous versions of CyanogenMod. You can then switch your launcher with settings->Home.

When ADW is running you can press the menu button of your phone, then edit and then one of the green plus symbols to add a new screen anywhere and you can swap/reorder screens.

Another ADW feature I really like is the ability to group your apps in the drawer. When having the app drawer open you press the menu button (of your phone) and "choose group" and afterwards "setup group".

The downside of the ADW launcher is that the weather part of the cLock widget doesn't work there.

Control app functions from homescreen shortcuts? (Tasker?)

Hi all,

Is there an application, preferably one that doesn't require rooting, that will allow me to create shortcuts on the homescreen that runs functions within an application? (e.g. Shortcut that starts an activity I have setup in the Logitech Harmony Remote app.)

I am trying to learn how to use tasker, but I'm not sure if it's going to help with all my needs. I've found a few plug-ins that help partially, but they are buggy and I cannot find plug-ins for some applications that I use. I'm looking for info to see if I can skip the plug-ins and create the functions in Tasker using the base options, but this may be over my head because I can't figure it out.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 with 4.4.2 loaded.

Thanks for any help!

Edit: I may have found the answer with AutoShare. I'm still interested to see if anyone has any better solutions.

Hold on. I now see that the problem is the display is black. When I connect it to my PC via USB, the PC will load the drivers. If I hold down the power button, the PC will make a noise to let me know that I turned it off or on. But the screen is pitch-black and it doesn't vibrate when I turn it on/off... I can't tell what's on the screen... How do I fix this?

Don´t get me wrong, that thing here has its reputation. Having a jailbroken phone now and that feels kinda creepy so I wanna make sure that I don´t install some backdoor stuff. I guess i can´t install a clean firmware by the sony software? I also read that theres some vodafone stuff installed you can only erase completely by rooting, is that true?

If i understand you correctly, the plugin you need is Secure Settings. In tasker create a task with one action:

Plugins > Secure Settings > Launch Activity > [pick your app] > [pick your activity]

Then click on the button in the bottom right corner of your screen and assign an icon to this task.

Then on the screen with the list of all your task, long press the new task you created. Press the three dot menu button on the top right corner. Press Export as App.

Then give this a package name (ex: com.mytaskershortcut.appname.shortcut ... It can be whatever you want, for the most part. Then save it by pressing the top left corner of the screen...wait...for...it... When it's ready, click the android icon and install your app.

You will now have an app in your app drawer, that does whatever you've designed it to do (as simple as this one action task, or as complex as voice command home automation project), and you can create a shortcut on your homescreen just like all your other apps.

Last night, I was downloading random apps from the play store, and found that I had somehow downloaded an app called "Phone update". Using Rom Toolbox Pro , I found it in the App manager section. The Dev was Nightelf, and it couldn't give me much info, other than extensive amounts of permissions, and online searches turned up nothing, so I uninstalled it within about a half hour. Have any of you had something similar happen? I might have kept it if it had actually come from LG or Google, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have shown up in the App manager had it been legit. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! :) This is the only proof I can find so far that it was ever on my phone.

A few drops of water at the display will never disturb your phone.

Even if your phone felt into water and you put out the batterie and dry this phone with rice or salt or sun - it should not break...

Yes its definitely a kernel issue do you know of any fixes for this?
[General Questions and Answers] Chuck8273:
The screen itself is glass, and liquid will not absorb through it. The damage liquids can do to a phone, and most any other electronic devices is caused when it enters through the charging port, mics, speaker ports, or any other entry way to the electronic components. They are all supposed to survive through a little saliva, getting slightly wet from rain drops, etc, although each device and person's experience can be different. Some phones have survived immersion in a toilet without even needing a "dry out" period, while others can have problems from just being placed in cup condensation. Hope this helps.
[General Questions and Answers] RuggedHunter:
You need to research and learn much more about your device before altering sensitive system files like these, probably. If you just don't care, then search your device's specific forum and choose a compatible kernel, and have at it...
