Well actually sudden death syndrome (or half sudden death in this case) actually download mode says "custom" hence my question. Please read my sds thread stuck at the top of general
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enelyam:
Ok thanks M8, i thought sudden death only applies to phones that stop responding at all. Since this one reaches download mode i didnt think it has to do with SDS. But then again what do i know compare to others
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enelyam:
So, after reading the thread, from what i understood from there im screwed, right? The fix is for the people who still have a working phone, right? I mean i will still have the LCD so, and since i own a shop there are many parts to use from that phone so....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
SDS fix can only be applied before it happens, if too late then only motherboard change will fix.

So.. my charging port has failed on my Nexus, and so I requested a warranty swap... problem is im running cm10.1 and the battery is about to die...

How am I going to get the phone back to stock for warranty? I cant charge the phone... and i did a factory data reset, but that did not help, it just wiped my phone, its still on cm10.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
This has been answered before. Use search
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gorilla*:
Dude, you dont get it. I have no battery.... So how am i going to flash it back to the stock rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
....

so how do you expect to flash it back to stock if you have no battery? a magical power source from the sky?

FACTORY RESET DOES NOT RESTORE THE FACTORY ROM.

you replaced the rom, you need to flash the stock image. since you have no USB capability, there is only 1 way, and it has been answered several times.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gauthamnaidu:
You can't charge the battery from the phone.. Cant u remove the battery and use a cheap battery charger.. I had two batteries and used this to keep the phone up and running all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] opensourcegeek:
Dude, just charge the battery with a cheap charger like suggested by gauthamnaidu (not the phone, only the battery), download the stock rom from here if you didn't made a backup of it: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images , and flash it (don't forget to wipe everything, just in case).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyanHaze:
I've been using CM 10 for a few month now, and am very happy with the performance.

However, there are two bugs/missing features that cause me to start looking for another ROM:

1. No voice dialing through a BlueTooth headset. Voice dial only works without a headset, unlike the original ROM's S-Voice.

2. Not possible to record two-way calls (only through the speaker, which sucks).

Can anyone recommend a different custom ROM without these drawbacks?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tokarin:
Call recorder app solve the 2nd problem, it was featured on xda portal few days ago. The 1st problem is pretty minor. PA is a good alternative, or give temasek's cm10.1 unofficial for simple and smoothness.

Hi,

I have a Acer a700, with the CM10.1 nightly, and the EA games The simpsons doesn't work at all.

I don't know if it work under the stoc rom, but i think it's a resolution related problem. The game quit right after the EA logo...

Has anyone be able to make this game work ?

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] DeLoreanQC:
not rom related...

i've tried the game under CM10.1 (nightlies), 7comp and iconian 2.6

The result is always the same.

Am i the only one with this problem ?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] McFlypants:
Yeah, i have the same problem. Does not work with CM and doesn't work with Stock Rom.

I think there is an app that can change the resolution. You could try it, i did not have the time to test this.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] DeLoreanQC:
I've tried to change the dpi (240 to 160), but the tab was unable to boot after that...
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] McFlypants:
So i guess we got to wait for an update that makes the app compatible or we can't use it on the tab!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Shreps:
With 7comp you can try to change the DPI only for your App (and not the whole Tab)
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] DeLoreanQC:
well, i will try it
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] DeLoreanQC:
ok, after all it's not related to dpi or resolution...tested with multiple dpi/res combination, same result...

oh, and by the way, the asus tf700t, based on sinar hardware (same cpu, same resolution...) have the same problem...
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] DeLoreanQC:

[General Questions and Answers] Tired of the Bull:
My son brought home a HTC Merge and for some reason wants to try and fix it....

This is the situation:

System: nTelos

Root: No

ADB: Debugging does not appear to be activated

The phone boots past the HTC screen and appears to get into a corrupted version of Android. The screen doesn't display anything but all the soft buttons and the keyboard key lights.

I can also boot into the bootloader and have reset the phone several times and tried flashing signed files from other carriers with no luck.

The phone is visible to fastboot but not adb.

If I had a signed file from nTelos I think I could get it recover and the go through the normal root process. Short of that I'm at a loss as to my option with adb not working...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulo_andre:
I found an ad for an used Nexus 7 (32Gb) for just 180€ (around $230), and since I wanted one... I'm thinking of buying it.

I'll pick it up in hand, so I'll have some time to look at it and check for defects. My question is what to look for and what apps to use for testing (probably using an OTG cable and thumb drive)

So far I can think of

- Check for scratches

- See if it boots

- Check available space (to confirm 32Gb version)

- Check if OTG works

- Check for dead pixels (use app Dead Pixel Detect and Fix from Chaming Studio)

- Check audio if plays from both speakers (should be enough to go to settings and move the volume sliders)

- Check sensors (use app AndroSensor from Fiv Asim)

- Check Wifi (with hotspot provided by my phone)

Is there anything else anyone can think of?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NightOrchid:
Check for:

- Screen Lift - with the camera at the top, check the left hand side of the device and make sure the rubber back plate hasn't come away or creaking from the bezel

- 2nd screen lift - very early Nexus 7, the glue of the screen itself came away from the body

- White spot - where the screen was lifting.. some devices would show a faint white glow on the left side (Newtons Rings effect).

- Colour bleed - apart from the Settings Menu > about half way down the full screen, it would show white and colour banding. (Tegra Fault).

In the Settings Menu of every single Nexus 7 ive seen, there is grey banding about half way down.. but not in any other menu or screen. I think this is normal due to the low res text in an other wise high res ppi device, but please correct me if im wrong.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asus_USA:
Serial number. It should either start with a C or a D. C indicates 2012, D indicates 2013. digit after letter is the month it was manufactured. This is important because you have a one year warranty on the device, and it is transferable if you buy it used. The warranty will go off this serial number. The serial number will also indicate if it is refurbished or not.
[HTC Droid DNA] acast2003:
Hello,

I recently put the CM10.1 ROM on my phone. There is a 0 folder where CM and all its files are (that is not my problem) But, when I boot into clockwork, the phone sees all the original folders as well as the 0 folder. Is there a way to safely delete the old files and folders that are not associated with the 0 folder?
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
Navigate to /data/media in cwm and then you should see a clockworkmod folder the 0 folder and a few others but /data/media is where you want to be

You should be able to delete the old stuff just make sure its all in the 0 folder first
[HTC Droid DNA] acast2003:
I'm guessing the format /data & /data/media option in cwm??
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
if you do that you will lose everything on the internal sdcard... even the /0 folder and nandroids just use a file explorer and delete the stuff

i guess what I meant to say earlier was put all the stuff in the /0 dir that you want to keep and delete everything else BUT the /0 folder
[HTC Droid DNA] acast2003:
What file manager should I use? the CM file manager as well as Astro could not see the original files...sorry, I am a bit of a noob :/
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
any file manager will work

can you take a screenshot and upload it here cause im not really getting what you are saying...

in the file manager it usually opens to the root directory "/" then you click on data then media

so you should be in /data/media

inside /data/media/ is what is known as the internal storage which if you flashed a cm10.1 rom will show the

/0 and then all of the rest of the folders that would normally be on the sdcard of the phone like the Downloads Pics music movies etc...

and when the cm10.1 rom got flashed it should have moved all of thoes folders into the /0 directory... so now everything should be in /data/media/0/(sdcard contents here)...

you can either flash back to a sense rom and take the files that were in the /0 directory and move them back to the /media directory and then delete the empty /0 dir or stay on cm10.1
[HTC Droid DNA] acast2003:
Alright, I was running the stock sense rooted. When I flashed to CM, it left all of the files and folders from sense on /sdcard. CM is in /sdcard/0. For some reason, cwm can see the files and folders left over from sense. I can even flash them. But, when I try to use a type of file manager, it cannot go up any higher that /0. Windows and Mac also cannot see anything up from /0.

Hopefully that clarified my problem.
[HTC Droid DNA] kenohki88:
I was wondering what the Hell was up with this 0 file I've been using ES file explorer and can cut/copy files i recently went back to viper dna....ok so, if I paste all the files back can I DELETE the whole "0" file? Cause that **** annoying all my pictures are not coming up as they should when I go to gallery really annoying and I think I might have lost several pictures
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Its a 4.2 multi user thing, its been covered a bunch of times. If you go back to 4.1 you can move your stuff out of 0 then delete it. Its the main reason I've been on 4.2 since call audio worked, I got tired of moving stuff back and forth.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spitniv:
Hi Everyone,

I have read and seen almost every comparison exist between these two models and came to a I9505 conclusion :)

One last thing that wasnt really clear about is the mic, ear piece and the speaker quality and volume.

As for the mic I have seen in this video here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJ_o6784tEg

Which clearly the I9500 mic is a lot better than the I9505, I guess that affects the call quality but I want another opinion based on an everyday usage if you can about the sound as a whole (Phone calls, Music, Speaker volume, etc...)

I know that the I9505 has almost the same spec as the HTC One which has a great sound reviews.

Is the I9505 far from it?

Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HS™:
I have i9500 and call / speaker sound is great and loud enoght but music is as usual like S3 which I dont like and use hardly (again depends on headphones like beats studio and any other good headset changes the sound to better )

Htc wins for music as per me coz i used htc butterfly and enjoyed listening to music clear high and accurate

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scratchyccs:
Hi!

My Nexus 10 was on pogo magnet charger connected to the charger in the car.

I was using gps navigation program Navitel and device was in Poetic carbon cover.

Device was upgraded to Android 4.2.2 while being rooted before.

I have been using it like this for a few days for 4-6 hours each day.

All was excellent.

Once suddenly device became very hot and touchscreen became unresponsible - gps navigation pgorram still worked showing our movement on map.

Reboot wasnt helped(((

Even replacing the ROM to 4.2.2 stock version wasnt helped.

Device itself is may be switched on and power andup down volume buttons are working.

When connecting computer mouse to the device I can use it all-right - all is working but not touch screen - it isnt working since then(

While connecting device to PC i can see and copy files inside of device.

Maybe someone had same situation and had found solution on how to cure touchscreen?

Thanks for any advice.

I noticed carrier label info in status_bar_header.xml also so that will need to be changed also I believe for it to work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaniTheMan:
Hey guys!

I've been having a lot of problems with a Samsung Galaxy S Plus recently. After my girlfriend entered the wrong picture password a number of times in a row, the phone locked down. I tried to activate data connection using the power menu (hold power button), which I had deactivated before it locked down. My attempts to log in failed when the device returned either 'invalid username' or 'invalid password' (they are - of course - neither). This is apparently a known problem. I then followed the following instructions to trick the device into thinking the google account had been verified: droidwiki .de/Muster_vergessen#Muster_l.C3.B6schen (warning, that site is in German). For this I successfully managed the following steps:

1.) Installation of ADB tools

2.) Installation of ClockwordMod using Odin in order to accomplish the ...

3.) Activation of USB debugging.

4.) Rooting the phone using these instructions: androiddrole .com/how-to/how-to-easily-root-samsung-galaxy-s-plus-i9001

All these steps worked as expected. Then however, the trouble started: When trying to set the number of failed pattern attempts to 0, the following command failed: "cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases" ("can't cd to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases"). Additionally I could no longer boot into android as the phone kept booting directly into CWM (This is apparently also a known problem). I proceeded to install a newer version of ClockworkMod Touch (using zip on sd card) hoping this would allow me to break the loop. It didnt. So I replaced ClockwordMod with TeamWin Recovery Project (TWRP). This did finally allow me to exit the recovery mode only to get stuck in a full-out reboot loop: Samsung logo -> black screen -> Samsung logo -> black screen. In order to get out of this reboot loop I used Odin to flash boot_loader.tar and the original version of ClockwordMod onto the device. After a number of failed attempts this suddenly worked - kinda:

The current situation is this: The phone no longer boots directly into recovery mode (good). It doesnt boot into android either though. It just reboots over and over again - this can be stopped however by using 'Volume Down' + 'Home' + 'Power' to access ClockwordMod.

My hopes of getting my phone unlocked and working as before again are rather slim at this point. I would still like to save my substantial collection of photographs from the media folders on the device, before I wipe the entire thing (or buy a new phone).

Therefore my question to you:

Is it possible to extract the photos (stored in the standard media locations of android 2.3) to a PC using only USB-Debugging/Odin/ClockwordMod (being unable to boot into android)?

I tried to pull the media files using the 'adp pull' command, but I couldnt get it to work (maybe because I didnt get the command or the file-paths correctly). Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AleksaSavic:
Solution

Attention: If you want your media files, backup your current state first. Go to backup and restore -> backup. Then do steps written below. Backup will be in CWM folder on your sdcard.

This is called a soft-brick. It's good that you can access download and recovery mode using 3 button combinations. First, download a stock Gingerbread ROM for your device model and put it on your sdcard. Boot into CWM and select Wipe user data -> Yes. Wipe Cache Partition -> Yes. Go to Advanced menu and select Wipe Dalvik cache -> Yes. Now return to previous menu and select install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard -> select name.of.downloaded.rom.zip -> Yes -> Wait 1-2 minutes to flash -> Wipe user data -> Wipe Cache Partition -> Wipe Dalvik Cache. Then select Reboot system now from main menu, and wait 4-5 minutes for it to boot first time.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DDN24:
Yup. 9500 doesn't have 4G.

9500 is better than 9505 (if 4G is not a factor); Exynos 8 core, wolfson DAC and (some said) better camera sensor.

However, if 4G matters to you, go with the 9505. The difference is not a lot.

But the processor on the i9505 is 1.9 instead of 1.4? :S also does the i9500 have 2Gb of ram? I rang the guy at the shop and they said the phone had 4G capabilities? :S haha! Thanks for your help guys :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve_max:
1) Different architectures (Krait for the 9505, A15/A7 for the 9500), so the frequency isn't directly convertible to speed. The 9505 is clocked at 1.9GHz, and the 9500 is clocked at 1.6GHz (1.2GHz for the small A7 cores)

2) All Galaxy S4 models have 2GB of RAM.

3) Some telcos call HSPA+ "4G", despite it being more properly called "3.75G". BTW, LTE is also not officially 4G: that would be only for LTE Advanced, with downlink exceeding 1Gbps. If you want the "4G" people are getting excited about now, that would be LTE, supported only by the 9505 among international S4 models.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calum96:
So the standard one is 1.6ghz? Really was looking forward to 4G, can't find the i9505 on contract though :/ unless anyone knows how to get them? So might end up buying an unlocked i9505
