Please tell me is there any way to get back my phone in original state??The warranty period is also over..Thanks
[HTC Desire S] hisname:
do you have a stock recovery or a custom recovery?
[HTC Desire S] sayan162:
no sir
[HTC Desire S] hisname:
no? I don't understand your answer to my question
[HTC Desire S] sayan162:
There is only recovery option i don't know its stock or custom.I tried to recover and then when i try to factory reset the phone freeze
[HTC Desire S] Aquous:
Most likely your emmc is bricked. Sorry :(

Post a dmesg from within your ROM or recovery.
[HTC Desire S] hisname:
actually I doubt so. if he bricked his emmc, he wouldn't be able to even boot to bootloader. let's bring the discussion to the noob friendly thread. I suppose it will be easier to help him
[HTC Desire S] rain987:
The phone can boot into 3 states, normaly, bootloader/fastboot and recovery. Recovery is where we do the flashing of rom/gapps/mods , wiping and backup/restore.

We have some recovery such as twrp, clockworkmod and 4ext, the common being 4ext.

So with the limited info u gave, i suppose u tried to wipe/factory reset and it freeze before completing. Could be that you are running an outdated recovery but limited info given.

The troubleshoot would be to flash the latest 4ext, but, again, limited info given.
[HTC Desire S] sayan162:
Thanks for your response but here is 4EXT.So what will i do now??
[HTC Desire S] rain987:
1 When u select wipe all except sd card, it freeze?

2 Was there any error in the log? post the the error(s).
[HTC Desire S] sayan162:
no sir its completely fine when i click wipe all...
[HTC Desire S] rain987:
Well i guess that would suffice. Download the apk updater and update the 4ext to the latest if u haven't.

If problem persist try reporting it to them and have them work out a test with u.

I never really tried factory reset alone by itself and sorry not gonna try to reproduce and see if i face any issue, maybe the next time when a new rom appears.

And the common is to wipe all except sd and flash the rom. Rarely it is done one by one.
[HTC Desire S] sayan162:
okay sir i downloaded it but how will i install it on my phone..because my phone freezes on htc logo with white background
[HTC Desire S] hisname:
you are s off right? go to the updater app and install it.
[HTC Desire S] rain987:
Ok, 1)what rom did u flash?

2)check the md5. Google or look within xda for the app. It checks whether the rom downloaded is broken.

First boot would usually take longer than usual, a few minutes.

Try Fallout.

Wipe all except sd > flash rom > reboot

*When pulling battery becareful as not to put it in back immediately. It is know to cause emmc break. No fix for that.

Hi guys

I'm currently a owner if an S3 and slightly peed off with the lack of sources, battery life on AOSP and etc.... So is it worth swapping my non dev friendly S3 for the dev friendly Xperia Z?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekoil:
Just went from S3 LTE to an Xperia Z and couldn't be happier!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epik277:
WHAT....... are you crazy. S3 has some of the best development. I don't know what ur talking bout. And if u like the xperia try jovy23's xtremeperia ROM. Its flawless and is as close to xperia as u can get on an S3. Also good on battery.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elspanish88:
Its the i9300 just to be clear... To be fair there is a lot if development but I've tried all the ROMs on the s3 stock and AOSP and stock is well terrible and AOSP isn't great for battery life and still has other issues due to Samsung being tight with their sources
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1_enthusiast:
Cant speak for international S3 but from US S3 to XZ is not a big upgrade if any...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elspanish88:
See this is the thing the US S3 is better (development wise) than the international.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1_enthusiast:
if you looking for developement the XZ is not the place to go...there is like 5 stock rom, 1 kernel, and 5-6 AOSP, AOKP CM10.1 rom...

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techdave:
Upgraded from an S3 to the XZ, only because I managed to drop the S3 and cracked its front glass.

Otherwise, I'd still be happy to stay with the S3.

User experience wise, it's not much different with the XZ, the S3 was fast and quick as well. The increased ppi, you can tell if you look for it..but in reality, it doesn't affect your overall experience very much at all.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zac68:
The Xperia Z is supposed to be getting stock Android and will be sold in the Google Play Store. That I presume will lead to better development of this phone. :good:

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zac68:
That's pretty much what I meant. Our phone will benefit from this...if it happens.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekoil:
As long as there is stable AOSP I am a happy chappy, and this is something that just isn't available for the Galaxy S3, neither I9300 nor I9305, and it literally never will be either. Mark my words. S4? Sure. S3? No. Don't buy an S3 if you are interested in ROM development... unless you are talking about ROM cooking I guess, but that isn't really "development".

Also there are like 2 usable custom kernels for I9300/I9305, neither of which run on AOSP.

While we're on the subject, you'll notice -if you look- that the actual developers that own an Exynos-based S3 all seriously hate it and have vowed not to buy any more pure-Samsung devices because of it. Speak to codeworkx on IRC about it if you're interested in hearing more about why the S3 sucks. Suffice to say that I am certainly not purchasing any more Samsung products without first seeing some sources for the device.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] testadeferro:
Agree with you. Owner of a exynos s3 and the major problem is they lie to costumers telling that s3 will be upgraded and are delaying this not to damage s4 sales. S3 is a unfinished phone. Samsung never get this beast to fully working. Lags overall do bad memory management. Even s2 sometimes works better. And if you have the chanxe buy instead a n4.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elspanish88:
I'd love the N4 and I completely understand why the S3 sucks due to sources not being released properly, I've already spoke to codeworx and his answer was "every Sony runs AOSP better"

So I'm going for it!! Good bye S3 and hello XZ :)

Thanks for your input guys!

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1_enthusiast:
S3 international version may suck but U.S version is hard to beat...its what reviewer classify as an Iphone De-throner... and I was using AOKP on my S3...I still missed my S3. My main developer that I like are Faux and Task 650, any other Developer I am grateful for their work but I wont choose them over the two i have. Simply put they are the best at what they do and they are currently rocking Samsung and Nexus device.

THe only reason I am not using AOKP or CM10.1 on this device because A2DP sounds sucks (little bass or detail in sound, it sound like there is too much mid or treble)...I had to switch back to stock rom, not everything on CM10.1 here is fixed, but I imagine it would be soon, hopefully. again I would not advise anyone to buy this phone again, I gave it a try and I dint like it, never again. I remember using the Sony K850i and that was awesome quality stuff from Sony, I missed that phone too.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekoil:
Well, we were specifically discussing the international version so I don't really see how a comparison to the US version (which is a

completely

different device) is useful.

Also K850i was a SonyEricsson device! (very important because Ericsson <3)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] testadeferro:
US galaxy s3 is dual core. It never get further oficial 4.2.2. And its slower then exynos.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekoil:
Krait dual-core, big difference. And yes, it is roughly on par with Exynos S3.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] testadeferro:

Thats because you own one? And about sony you're right. They have some conflicts from software internal. It's normal getting things together again aftera long time partnership. But the z is by far better then the s3.

◇C6603
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1_enthusiast:
so your telling me that because Samsung S4 got a higher bench than XZ that mean it run smoother? you need to do some fact search, Samsung S4 is having lag issue right now and their bench score is WAY higher than XZ. Software is the main part. I was running AOKP rom that is why my S3 were awesome. thats not to say the stock rom wasnt awesome I just missed the Volume skip track on AOKP

Because I own a phone doesnt mean I brag about it, I own an XZ doesnt mean its a good phone...in fact I think its a DECENT phone at best, it got nothing going for it except looks and IP57 or whatever the hell water proofing code is

bottom line XZ

Pros

1. looks good

2. water proof

3. screen looks awesome IF you look straight on

Cons

1.easily get heated quick (yes even UV, it still get heat quick, and the lack of Voltage can cause some Lagging)

2.battery life sucks (12h with 2:30 min screen time all mobile data, adapt brightness and all sync on with greenify and stamina mode)

3.camera is good in sunlight but horrible at night with a weak ass flash, if you want this in the club expect some heavy editing.

4.speaker (unless you unlock your bootloader and increase power via Faux sound, the sound coming out of a speaker is weak to say the least. You will miss a phone call if you have it in your pocket in a slightly above room noise level environment)

5. screen no matter how you look at it, it will be a flawed from sony, the screen wash out even from a 10% angle, I am very detail, I can see it.

6.Rom development (4 stock rom Dev, 1 kernel, and 5 maybe 6 AOKP, CM10.1, AOSP)

7. there are other minor issue which i'm not listing, ie. camera takes forever to launch, not a deal breaker to me but for some it might.

there it is, take it or leave it is up to you.

I dont talk sh!t on a phone unless I own it, just to make sure people dont say I'm trolling.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elspanish88:
Thanks for your input dude, but to be fair I could write a list like that about the i9300 if not longer... the lag on this phone is unbelievable, the samsung keyboard doesn't even have a working auto correct!! I know thats easy to fix but why should I have to install a 3rd party keyboard after spending so much money on the device.

As for bad battery life I dont get much more than you on the S3.

Anyway the XZ is on its way so if anyone fancies reporting the thread before It turns into a big argument, please feel free

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uberlaggydarwin:
Your comment is not fully correct.

That's true if your considering modified stock roms.

The advantage of the Xperia Z is real development gets done. Not a 100 hundred stock based roms or two many "winzipper rom creators".

As [MENTION=591147]Entropy512[/MENTION] said "we have at least 5 maintainers working on CM for a single device. 6-7 if you count the guys with ZLs (Z/ZL are similar enough that nearly all work is done in fusion3-common...)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hackaveli:
I don't have access to computer so I'm constantly on the phone whenever I'm at Home. And that's a lot. Is it better to keep it charged 24/7 or drain battery to 0 then recharge and cycle?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
Drop down to around 20% then recharge. Dont let the phone constantly drop to zero and shut off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Unless you are calibrating, like patrao, there's no need to let it get to zero. But I'm like you, I'm on my phone a lot, and if I'm not using it, it's on the charger. So my suggestion, work, car, home, you are certainly ok keeping it on the charger. I do, and have, with every smart phone I've had.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DEF3NDER:
As long as it doesn't heat up when you charge it, then you are good to go. Heat will reduce the shelf life of a battery.

Whether you charge it 2 times a day or once a week it is only capable of a certain amount of charge cycles. The frequency of charges doesn't change that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Inane_Asylum:
There has been a lot of confusion about charging because of the changing battery technologies (NiCAD, NiMH, etc.). Phones use Li-ion batteries which don't have many restrictions. Many older batteries had to be charged fully then discharged fully because partially charging/discharging a battery would cause the capacity to reduce.

The only consideration for Li-ion batteries (besides not letting them get too hot) is to not let them fully discharge or stay discharged. A vast majority of hardware manufacturers will have your device shut down at ~5-10% charge so as not to damage your battery. If a Li-ion battery fully discharges (which is rare unless done deliberately), then it cannot be recharged. It's totally dead.

tl;dr: Charge early, charge often.

Hi!

I've just installed the stable CM10 on my Galaxy S.

I've also read that CM has the "deep sleep" function built-in.

However, I've not found anything on how this function exactly works.

1. Is it activated automatically?

2. How it goes on and off?

3. What is disabled and what is not?

Thank you for any help!

nope, ur not missing something, its normal behaviour. u can choose any app on gstore to made ur fone deepsleep but i dont really recommend that, if ur already fix da min cpu, then u shouldnt be worry bout that.

DeepSleep doesnt mean ur fone does not receiving mail or call, its juz use minimal cpu for necessary processes. n if 100mhz enough for activating wifi, then it will not cut off.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] mobileprofi:
where to download - or doesn't exist ?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] lars_juhl:
If you want to get access to the extended ROM you simply have to do perform the standard debranding procedure on you MDA Compact (or whatever brand you have).

Here is how it works:

1) Do a hard reset.

2) Go through all the initial configuration stuff (calibration of touch screen etc.).

3) At some point you will be asked to tab the screen to continue. Right after that the contents of the extended ROM will begin to install themselves. The trick is to tap the screen and immidiately after perform a soft reset.

Once your MDA Compact is done with the soft reset, you will find yourself being the proud owner of a debranded phone/pda. :-) The external ROM will be visible. If you wish to install some of the things on the external ROM simply execute the respective CAB files.

I chose to install the caller ID application as well as the camera patch.

Have fun,

Lars
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] toffeur:
Hello,

Ok but if you don't want to make a hard reset you can:

go to your windows directory and launch loadvdisk.exe

just for info total commander see this file but the explorer of file not
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] mobileprofi:
yes thanks - but still i can't edit the ex-rom
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] lars_juhl:
Right, I forgot to mention that you can unlock the extended ROM without a hard reset. However, this is as I see it not particularly useful since everything on the extended ROM has already been installed if you don't go through the debranding procedure. Also as the name Read Only Memory (ROM) suggests you cannot write to it, so it is fairly useless to unlock it if everything on it has already been installed ... except if you want to extract the content of it to post it ;)

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccdsatt:
But I need help.

Copied from my thread on a jamaican tech site:

"So I'm trying to figure out if Digicel has screwed me over yet again. MCC and MNC are beyond me thats why I'm hoping some techie here can help me. I recently figured out that the reason my Droid Razr M (XT907/Verizon version) was going into emergency calls only mode was because it was failing to register on our 2G network. If I do a manual search I pick up three networks, Digicel 3G (338 - 05) Digicel 3G (338 - 180) and Digicel 2G (338 - 180). I'm pretty sure MCC & MNC, which can be found in your apn settings, are pulled directly from the sim card seeing as when I went from At&t sim to LIME sim in my previous phone they changed. My MCC & MNC are 338 & 05 respectively, as such (or at least I think this is why) I can only register on Digicel 3G (338 - 05). I'm sure that the sim you have doesn't matter all you have to do is pay for their data plan to get 3G, however when I bought my sim back in January they asked me if it was a '4G' capable phone to which I told them yes and they gave me this sim card.

My questions to you guys are:

1) Do you think they did this deliberately forcing us to pay for data plan before we can get service?* Which is what I had to do

2) Is there any way to get onto their 2G network? The constant search for a 3G network drains too much battery and limits my coverage around the island

3) If the only way is to change my sim card can I still keep my number?*

4) If I was to change my sim how would I ensure I get one that has MNC 180? Because I'm sure I can't ask the cashier that as they know next to nothing about tech only enough to make a sale"

*Please ignore this questions as they relate to Digicel Jamaica subscribers only and the ongoing delay of number portability coming to Jamaica
