[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narutosri:
Maybe the downloaded file is corrupted..Try flashing another baseband FW and check it.

For flashing kernels theres a SAFE AND FREE app

http://dl.xda-developers.com/attachdl/bca6a9b5a73472139b21ff4f2d7b4722/51a03873/1/9/0/2/9/3/1/Universal_Kernel_Flash_Tool_110.apk

Install this app and open it

Select the md5 or bin files from it and flash them and restart.

There you go...its done

I dont know about downgrading to GB..never tried and not gonna try it;)

MY JB is awesome:highfive:
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l_m_husni:
thanks for reply,,,

look my binary count (115) i was flashing with many different frimware

can you guide me step by step for repairing recovery mode????

THANKS

You can't enter recovery after flashing original fw via odin? Try taking out battery, put it back in and force recovery. Press it for a long time till it enter recovery. Then factory reset. I encountered this once on galaxy ace, endless bootloop and can't enter recovery but download is okay. Then I pressed the buttton until it somehow got into recovery. I don't know if this works but you can try though.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
We do not have any JB custom kernel that is flahsable with Odin. So I suppose you flashed GB custom kernel on JB, that is your problem. Flash whole STOCK JB FW again. After that use ONLY JB kernels. CoCore 6.x for example. Only one not abandoned from updates for now.

Do this again with JB, step by step: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2086965

And kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2140597

Unzip it, put it on SD card, install Frapeti's universal kernel flasher. Install some ROOT explorer, this app needs it to work. Use it to install kernel.

Can you extract this CryptoPhone Software?

I am sure you can flash your device with any other Rom upgrades,just need to modify the device type with some XDA tools.

For some reason starting yesterday, my phone brightness automatically goes to minimal brightness everytime i lock it. The brightness slider is on MAX (and it stays on max even when the brightness dies). Auto Brightness is OFF. Power Saving is Off.

Presus Kernel

Omega V16 rom.

nothing modified in the phone in a long time. After the issue happened, i updated the kernal, and still nothing.

The only thing that happened differently over the last few days was i used my phone too much to the point the battery would die. (and in general the screen turns to minimal brightness past 5%, but somehow this got STUCK. even when the phone is charging

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noodile:
Still doesn't solve the issue.

Wiped the device, new rom (Wanam), New Kernel (adam's).

Still the same issue.

Here's what happens:

Full Brightness, Lock screen,..... Unlock, Minimal Brightness

OR

Full Brightness, Lock screen,..... Unlock, (.5 second of full brightness), Minimal Brightness
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noodile:
Just to be clear, the problem isn't that the stock brightness isn't bright enough. The problem is that the brightness setting gets turned down to zero for no reason, (while the settings and slider) are still on max
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3_:
Do you have any apps that might be doing it? That's the only thing I can think of, maybe you've set up a Tasker profile up wrong and is causing it or something.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noodile:
well tried Wanam with Adams kernel

then

tried wana with Stock kernel . Wiping before every install.

Both didnt work.

So i wiped every thing. /Data, /SdCard, /Cachem etc. literally everything. Then installed wanam with adams kernel. And somehow that fixed the issue

I searched the forum and nothing that popped up fits my problem. I run CleanROM with the stock TouchWiz Messaging App. Every now and then, I won't be able to send text messages. Not from stock, not from Handcent or Go... Not at all. I tried clearing data today and that didn't help, either. It will work just fine when I restart my device, but I don't want to have to do that just to send a text message, you know?

Any other suggestions?

After i buy xperia e dual(the 2sims), i notice that this phone has phone memory 738mb, internal storage 2.01gb, and my sd 7.28gb(8gb).

The question is, can i put the games data file in the sd card? Because when i connect to pc, the internal and sd card will appear,

I test the tapsonic games and it dont work with the data file in sd card, but when i put in the internal the games works, but my internal only 2gb, it mean i cannot have many games =(

Any solutions?

You should try vold.fstab method instead. Its kinda smaller since im also using link2sd on my 16gb class 6. The phone memory goes over that limit because of link2sd :D hehe.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] yayakuya:
no, its not flashable zip. you must extract it > take that vold.fstab then replace the original one... (do a backup for it/ copy your original vold.fstab onto your sdcard)

after replace, change permission to rw-r-r-- and owner to root-root, reboot your phone n enjoy

ps: are you rooted already? its need root privilege to do it....
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] blackbox92:
not yet.

ok, i get the idea,

tq btw, i will do it. cannot do it now because got slow internet.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] zzztidurvirus:
You can just edit that file yourself. Search /mnt/sdcard and edit it.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] blackbox92:
Which line to edit?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] zzztidurvirus:
What do you see here? Its xplore file manager. Theres this storage0 (yours), sdcard and also ext_card. You need real location and real mount points. The typical for tipo and e dual (stock) is /mnt/sdcard and /mnt/ext_card. Did you do something to it?

Sent from My Awesome Paradox ST21i
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] blackbox92:
So /mnt/sdcard and /mnt/ext_card? I will paste at both, and tell u the result.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] zzztidurvirus:
No. Not paste the vold file. I mean is, can you access your data from these 2 locations, where sdcard is the 2gb internal and ext_card is microsd. The vold.fstab mod switches these locations.

Sent from My Awesome Paradox ST21i
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] blackbox92:
Yes i can, both is in /mnt/

Then what i need to do?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] zzztidurvirus:
Okay. Good. Edit the vold.fstab via text editor. Then just switch the two. Before: dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard and dev_mount ext_card /mnt/ext_card After: dev_mount sdcard /mnt/ext_card and dev_mount ext_card /mnt/sdcard --- set permissions and restart.

Hey guys

i have xperia e dual too...

i am having a problem whenever i put my movies on 8/16 gb card...my phn reboots and often hangs...

can u tell me why this is happening??

is this a s/w or h/w problem???
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] zzztidurvirus:
Movies? Is it in compatible .mp4 format? (mpeg-4, aac Lc) and hangs? Did you try using the phone without that microsd inserted?

Sent from My Awesome Paradox ST21i
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] niks_avana:
It's only the 16 gb card whenever i put movies or small tv shows(avi,mp4)...it often hangs and ends up rebooting...

16gb? Have you try format the microsd via the settings - storage menu? Then after format, put the movies back and retry. Or, are you on cm kernel?

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] niks_avana:
Yes I did reformatted but no luck :(

i am on stock rom...with stock kernel

i think it's the s/w problem??
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] zzztidurvirus:
I dont think so. Does it still hang if you did not put the movie files? Or just songs? Videos must be in certain format, wrong format may cause hangs or reboot. The phone cant handle weird codec, even if youre using mx player s/w mode.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] niks_avana:
No,it's jst the movies (most in avi format)...songs wrks fine...but when i put movies...the songs doesn't play either...i often had to remove sd card before phn crashes and switch off...
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] zzztidurvirus:
Looks like movie codec issues. Try videos with these codec settings.

Video: mpeg-4 480x320 at least 1600kbps fps max 30 (depends on source video)

Audio: aac Lc 128kbps stereo (2 channels) at 48khz

Container format: .mp4

It hangs and cause issues to songs AFTER playing that movie, right?

is it my sd card which is damaged???

and no it doesn't hang after playing the movies...it hangs from the moment when i put in the sd card with movies or shows...

mx player..
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] zzztidurvirus:
Of course it hangs. Mx player runs mkv and avi in s/w mode. Whatever movie that doesnt show up in stock gallery may cause issues, in your case, hangs / reboots. Didnt you read the white paper? About that video / audio codec for playback / recording capabilities?

So I've been playing with the IR blaster on my new S4... and I have to say it is priceless to see the expressions on peoples faces when I use my phone to control almost every TV in range. LG TV's seem to be the most responsive FYI.

Plus it is a nice little tool to troll people with ;)

Anybody else found any other uses for it yet? I'm waiting for some custom IR apps to start popping up here and having some real fun.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JBeXX:
Lol, I plan on messing with some co-workers during production meetings next week with TV in our conference room.

Love being able to use the S4 for channel surfing too as it is much faster than my slow direct tv box.

I caved and bought the "Smart remote for Galaxy S4" but haven't played with it too much yet. Seems to have alot of function available. Gonna mess with it more this weekend.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mbh87:
Maybe it's my tv, but do you have to point the blaster directly at the TV in order to get it to work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Curtisbeef:
I love the IR feature. But I found the range and angle to be very lacking. The IR beam seems like its only like 25° degrees... So you have to be right on with your aim. It's a little annoying I wish they would have used a better lens for the IR emitter.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JBeXX:
Mine picked up my Sony Bravia and Samsung TVs very easily. But I had to try a few times and aim very directly for my Direct TV boxes. After paired though they seemed very responsive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mbh87:
It's seems to work fairly better after some use, but I usually have to point it directly at my TV in order for it to work. Wonder if it's just my specific model TV.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] phgoodwrench:
What app do yall use for this? The paid IR blaster app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Omega360:
I just use the watchon app, works fairly well for my needs. Haven't explored other apps yet though

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skiddingus:
I tried the watchon app and it seems to work well with my Samsung tv and Directv. I have an audio receiver that I use for sound. Has anyone figured out how to use the volume for one device while the channel operates another? My Directv remote does it. Any of the pay apps do this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] berfles:
I got all my TVs working decent enough, though ones that have HD converter boxes don't get a guide button. There's a menu button but that only brings up useless options, not the guide itself. If it's a TV with just the digital converter box there's a guide button that works fine, haven't quite figured out how to fix that yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LaTropa64:
That smart remote in the play store looks a lot better than the remote in watch on. I need to decide if it's worth $10 or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sparatan117:
Hold down the Volume rocker (on the screen, not on the phone) and a separate pop up will come up. I have an audio unit also that separately controls my sound. It'll bring up a thing to insert it. Strange that they would put it there, and not in the settings but...whatever it works... ya know?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] iTechWNC:
Downloaded smart remote and 100 times better than watchon range seems better as well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skiddingus:
Awesome but I just tried it and don't get the pop-up. I added my tv, added the directtv, then added my av system. I went to the remote where everything works but the volume. It tried to work the tv volume that is not used. Long pressing it does nothing. Did I miss something?

Looking forward to getting the phone and using this! Has anyone found a way to use it with the xbox 360 or is it impossible?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sdnick484:
While it's a nice option in a pinch, I don't foresee me ever using this in place of my Logitech Harmony. I've played with PDA remotes for years going back to the iPAQ w/ a Compact Flash UltraMote extender, but I've never found any soft remotes that I liked enough to use on a regular basis.

Someone was asking earlier about needing to aim, and the general answer is yes, IR requires line of site. It doesn't need to be exact, but you'll have to aim in the general direction.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sparatan117:
I did it before I updated the app, and now that you're saying that, I don't want to touch it haha. But you're correct I tried holding the vol in the center and no pop up appeared. I guess they changed it on the last update
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TemporalShadows:
How awesome would it be if Logitech released a Harmony app that works with these IT transmitters? I'd buy that in a heartbeat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skiddingus:
I just realized a way to get the functions back. Go to "manage apps" and uninstall updates. The original shipped app can operate the AV receiver for the volume and a TV or Directv for the channel function. I may make a short "how to" thread that is easily searchable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DrBlast33:
I wish it worked with RF/Bluetooth remotes. I have the RF harmony, any my media boxes are in another room. IR blaster is only good for volume on the tv for me.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] e90driver:
Oh I found another use for it.... it sets off my radar/laser detector in my car occasionally.

Hopefully someone will find a way to turn it off, it's rather irritating haha.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jp5909:
I wish it worked for basic cable. If I put in that I have cox cable it only gives options for cable box type setups. It also needs a review or flip-flop button. I never just watch one channel I'm always hopping back and forth between a couple different shows, or a show and a game. Constantly typing in the numbers, especially with this fidgety "remote" is a PITA...one number of a 2, 3, or 4 digit channel # fails to be seen by the IR receiver and you're off on another channel entirely.

ETA: What it will REALLY be great for is taking over TVs at bars, or places like applebees...no longer will we be forced to watch crap we don't wanna watch lol. I had fun tormenting a friend earlier tonight who hadn't been able to find her remote for several days, she started to think one of us was setting on her lost remotes and started pulling cushions off couches...I was doing it right in front of her in the open, she didn't know such a thing was even possible. lol it's been possible since the old pocket PCs and PDAs

ETAII: GRRR I'm not new why is there this stupid 5 minute limit on my acct?!?!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] atrohde:
Has anyone installed an aosp rom and had the ir blaster remain functioning? On some of my other devices when you jump to aosp roms they lose the peripheral functions for example hdmi output or keyboard dock functions. I would hate to lose the ir blaster just because I wanted aosp.

Edit: It's been reported on another thread that it does not work on aosp at the moment. They are looking into adding this functionality.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Serinety:
I agree that it's cool. I enjoy new things for my phone. But it's not a new idea. My palm treo could do ir like 10 years ago. In fact almost all phones back in the day had ir built in.

Used to have to aim 2 devices at each other to transfer data back and forth. I had a pretty cool ir remote program for my windows mobile 3 treo.

Actually now that I think about it, my dad Nokia dumb phone from the late 90s had an ir emitter.... lol

Not to burst any bubbles. But this is an old trick in a new dress ;)

The nice thing is we have so much flexibility these days with apps and creative developers that it really is short of a new thing all over again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Parafly:
This might be a dumb question but did you guys remove the small piece of plastic covering the IR transmitter? That could cause some of your issues i'm guessing.
