[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetstream131:
Ok guys so i got my xtz today and i was wondering if there is an overclock kernel? Also would someone mind explaining to me the whole bootloader/root process? I'm not sure what the bootloader unlock does either; is that only for the cellular versions? The model number is SGP311 (16gb wifi) and im running the build ending in 370.

Thanks

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Half-A-Cookie:
As far as bootloader/root is concerned i am not really an expert. But the way i understand it is as follows:

the bootloader is kind of like the bios on a pc. From there you can change the os (android) without having booted up the os. So you need to have acces to the bootloader to install a new os.

Rooting is just getting acces to the system files, files normally shielded by android to prevent users from messing up their device.

With root acces you can change more settings that would other wise be inavailable.

Be careful with rooting/unlocking the bootloader your device might become a very expensive paperweight (and a bad one at that, seeing how light the tablet is).

There should be threads on this forum detailing the bootloading/unlocking proces. I can't help you with that, but i suggest you search in the android development section for this device.

Good luck!
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HoR77:
Hey there,

i am really having problems installing the Google Play Store.

I first of all tried installing it via KindleFree App, but it directly closes after 1sec.

I even tried the manual adding via Vending and playstore apk, same result

i read, that some users tried it several times and just by accident it worked somehow, so i tried it like 20 times, but still doesnt work.

it closes all the time directly.

One thing to mention is, that when i install Play Store after a reboot it renames itself to "Market".

Any ideas what to do?

Running StariRom 8.3.0

edit: i even got notification that updates for my apps are available, so in the background it somehow seemed to work, but just cant open it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gandotratushar:
hi all.. i have been getting the process.acore crashes all the time. I have cleared the contact storage etc i have tried everything.. from a flashing different roms and doing a complete clean install (formatting the sdcard)... but it always appears back pretty soon.. I want to troubleshoot it but i have no clue where to start.. i installed alogcat but it shows nothing... i want to know whats causing these crashes so any help would be appreciated. I have a feeling that some contact is causing this but need to be sure..

I use haxsync but it also crashes with the same error...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
formatting the sd card is not a clean install. you have to format system and data
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gandotratushar:
yes i know. i wipe the system completely while installing the rom, forgot to mention that. I cleaned the sdcard too just incase.. but still the problem is there. I would like to know how to troubleshoot it to see what the problem is. mainly it is about how to get the logs in this system. I have tried a lot but it seems there is something missing all the time..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowPluralism:
Try uninstalling Facebook if that is installed. If this does not fix your problem then try the following.Settings>Applications>System Applications>Contacts Sync Adapter and press Clear Data, this error usually goes away. If this doesn't work, try clearing the data on Settings>Applications>System Applications>Contacts or Settings>Applications>System Applications>Contacts Storage.If problem is fixed, then restore contacts and reinstall Facebook and make sure you don't sync contacts with it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gandotratushar:
I tried this too but still the same error, thats why i want to see the logs, but the problem is that i couldnt see it. I installed alogcat and a couple of more logcat viewers, but they show nothing and its blank. I went through many tutorials, made alogcat a system application but its still the same.

I tried it on a fresh system without installing facebook or anything, still crashed with the same error so i am thinking maybe some thing from the contact is not right...

Any help on logcat troubleshoot is appreciated ...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] victorekl:
Yesterday my phone ran out of battery and it took me a while to get back to my charger. I came back late and I put my phone to recharge over night. I wake up and start my phone and it's like it's never been used before. It has done some sort of reset by itself. All these help popups comes up about how to use slides and motion etc etc. My gmail account is not registered to my phone anymore. I go through my applications and now I start to realize that something is seriously wrong.

Some of my apps are missing on my home screen and when I look for them they seem to be uninstalled, so I try to install these apps again and get the "unknown error code during application install -24" error. This is the case for 3 of my paid applications. Portfolio stocks, swift key and maps with me.

I have more problems though, 50 % of all my apps that are still installed will not even start, like all of my games for example, Every time I try to start one of these I get "Unfortunately, application has stopped" This is also the case for some other apps like skype and spotify. Most of my apps have completely dropped the app settings and information. All my whats app conversations are gone for example and my number isn't even registered anymore.

Some apps still have the icon on my home screen but when I try to start these (like googles for example) it says "application not installed" even though the icon is there.

So as you can tell there some major problem has occurred when my phone turned itself of yesterday.

Now I'm afraid my phone ****ed itself up to much to actually be recovered with is a ***** but I'm wondering how the hell could this happen? What kind of information has deleted itself and why is this possible?

And is there anything you guys think I can do except resetting the whole device. My phone is not rooted and I regret not making backups.....

I have a galaxy s3 I9300 with android 4.1.2

Regards

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackberrynomore:
Well my trusty Samsung Skyrocket finally gave up the ghost so I went and got me an HTC One. I unknowingly got this phone not knowing that it did not have an SD Card slot which really sort of pisses me off but I just assumed that they all came with SD Card slots silly me. So anyway I do like the phone. The battery seems to work/last longer than the Samsung could have ever dreamed of but then again it better as I cannot carry an extra battery with me with this phone which is what I did with my Skyrocket error number 2. So is there a button on this phone that you can use to close/stop running processes? On my Skyrocket I could long press the Home button and it would bring up the task manager so how do you do that on this phone? There are things I don't like but I think most of that is just a matter of getting used to a new device. I do like the FM Radio option and it was much easier rooting this phone than previous phones I have owned once I did a little reading here thanks to all for the tips. So the big question is do I keep this phone or return it for a GS4????? Decisions......Decisions???? I have some time yet but the lack of extra battery and lack of SD Card concern me a lot.

Also any good advice on custom roms? I am a daily driver kinda guy as I need my phone for work so no ROMS that are really buggy those just won't work for me.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joho5:
Double tap home and then swipe up to kill whichever apps you want.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazbutler1:
firstly i really wouldn't suggest exchanging for a gs4. they are no where near on par with the htc one. awful cheap build and it lags horribly. secondly double tap home button. this will take you into the multi tasking menu, just swipe up on each program to close. there is no kill all button. thirdly, i see you have rooted so i would highly recommend that you install an app called greenify. you can set this up to close any specific apps you want once you turn the screen off. essentially there isn't much need to be killing apps all the time unless they are crap and poorly coded for example facebook. in this case you just add facebook to greenify and it will close it down when you turn your screen off, its excellent. lastly regarding custom roms, ive tried pretty much all of them and trickdroid is my recommendation. its rock solid stable, fast, excellent battery life and tons of customisations

a good way to make use of extra storage is use google music, sync your tunes up and then you don't have to then store them on your internal storage. Also use dropbox, you should get 25gb or free storage.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ataft:
Careful with Google music if you aren't on WiFi. That **** burns through data.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
When you have 2gb of RAM there is really no need to close all processes. The phone is plenty fast and can handle many applications at once. Also google has been trying to get rid of sd cards for quite a while and man do I wish they would just go away. In glad this phone has no sd card slot. Though I did have to get the 64gb version so I could keep all my music on here. I wouldn't switch the th galaxy because you'll be disappointed about how cheap it feels once you have already got your hands on the One. For battery you could always had greenify and flash a rom that claims that it tries to get he best out of the battery as possible. Also you can get a external battery pack like the anker slim 2. Or if you could somehow deal with one of those huge and ugly battery cases you'll be good.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aleatoire:
I'm entirely new to this so try to bear with me :)

I recently bought a Galaxy SII from a one day deals store and it arrived running Gingerbread 2.3.5. I want to update to the latest version available for the SII however the OTA update won't connect to the server and Kies (after at least two hours trying to get it to recognise my device) has told me that my current firmware can't be updated. Unless someone knows an obvious fix for Kies I guess I'm stuck with having to flash the new firmware using Odin. I'm using a guide on CNET (unfortunately I can't post links yet) that goes through installing ICS but replacing ICS with Jelly Bean.

The biggest problem is which firmware to get. My CSC code is OXA (Open Europe). Do I have to find firmware that matches that or can I just chose any one that I please then follow the guide that I'm using? I've been looking on SamMobile and there is a lot of different regions to chose from but none of them have the OXA CSC code and I don't know what to do. Also, is there anything I should look out for? I don't want to brick my phone. :p

Thanks in advance for your help. I'm sure it gets tiresome helping people like me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Grift-:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9100&pcode=OXA#firmware

There you go OXA :) It seems open Europe ended at 2.3.5 .. No wonder you can't update.. Anyway Poland's firmware should work just fine. Or just search the firmware of your own region. Do remember to do a factory reset after flashing JellyBean!

Alternately I recommend this. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1544487 Its the latest firmware Samsung has to offer.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aleatoire:
Thanks for the speedy reply. I think I understand now. The CSC is really only relevant to your current version. If I flash Jelly Bean from another region the CSC will just change to that region and still work as normal? Does it have any effect whatsoever on the function of the phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Grift-:
Yes CSC is bundled with the firmware. Dunno why but every time I flash a firmware it does not come with CSC and I must flash it manually.. Now that's a whole other story. If you plan on flashing a firmware not related to you region e.g you flash a European firmware while you stay in Asia then the CSC is quite pointless as kies won't let you update through it anyway. That said you must have the correct CSC/Firmware/Modem and region to recieve official updates through Kies. If not updating via Odin is good as well .
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aleatoire:
Well I live in New Zealand and the phone that I have has the European CSC code. The site that I got it from is called 1-day who claim to find the best prices from around the world in order to give ridiculously low prices. I assume that means that my phone came all the way over from Europe. Based on what you say then, I assume then that the CSC wouldn't matter in my case anyway as even stock, my CSC is in the wrong region?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Grift-:
Its OK :) at most bring it down to Samsung service centre and ask them to update your phone to the latest they have. They should be more then happy to help. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aleatoire:
Awesome, thanks for your help. I'm fine with just flashing it with Odin. I was planning to root it anyway. I'm just trying to find out as much as I can before I try.

hello is there an app to toggle the 3g connection only to use just the internet??

i mean i use gsm mode to save battery but i need to use wcdma just for internet and mobile data without having to go every time to network settings and change it to wcdma then going back to gsm, so is there an app or widget to trigger just the H+ connection not the whole network mode?? thanks :)

i use power toggle.. it adds the 2g/3g toggle on the widget... but it is not a one button press system.. that toggle will take you to the settings for network and you can change it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cvrkickercomp:
So last night my phone was acting up and i for some reason thought it would be a brilliant idea to wipe the cache in clockworkmod recovery, well the battery died midway when it was wiping the cache, and now I receive an infinite boot loop. Also when i go into fastboot on the phone i receive this message "e: can't mount /cache/recovery/log" I was reading on another thread and was thinking my partitions were deleted? I'm honestly not sure what's wrong or if i've bricked my phone beyond repair. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samersh72:
Look in verizon forum, you should find odin package

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cvrkickercomp:
So I've tried two different things, I've used galaxy nexus toolkit to try and return to stock that way, and i've also tried downloading the odin pda file and phone file and flashing through odin and neither has gotten rid of the boot loop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
What is the error output of the fastboot commands, that's what I would like to know. "I've used a toolkit" means nothing to me.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cvrkickercomp:
Pardon my ignorance but i'm not sure how to find/look for the error output.... I'm not educated at all on using the ADK/SDK which i believe might be a problem in me fixing this phone (if it's possible).

I'll elaborate on what i've tried to do to fix the problem. I've downloaded the stock toro 4.2.2 image from

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mysid

I realized that didn't work so i tried to flash back to stock using odin from this tutorial

http://www.galaxynexusforum.com/forum/rescue-squad/4707-how-return-stock-using-odin-vzw-lte-only.html

that didn't work so i thought maybe my partitions were messed up so i flashed the pit file from here

http://www.usofttech.com/t51448.html

And that still hasn't helped so that is where i am at with trying to trouble shoot the problem.

Sorry i didn't answer your original question but i thought maybe if you knew what i have tried it might give you a better idea of what i'm doing wrong or right

Thanks,

Tyler :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Why didn't the factory images flash perfectly? What error? It's just that it's extremely difficult to troubleshoot when there's no output errors from commands, and this is why newbies using toolkits is never a good idea.

Please follow the procedure described here, first post. It will allow us to see which part of the flash is failing..and the corresponding error message.

So i followed the tutorial you said to and i still have a bootloop... nothing failed to flash correctly... I'm so lost

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] integr8d:
Not sure if this is the place to post this. Maybe someone can move it. First post. So... you know....

I love my N4 and all. Build quality is superb. Easily as good as the iPhone 4 that I traded it in for. But I'm feeling the itch to go S4, as T-Mo has told me that I can trade it in, even though it's past their 'Buyer's remorse' whatever.

I've been tossing the S4/One thing around and settled on the S4 (please don't attack me for 'settling'; thought went into it).

My only gripe, provided that I can load 'Nexus Edition' onto it (and survey says that it's highly likely), is the ridiculous color gamut. The colors are way off.

My question, long as it may have taken me to get to it, is; is anyone aware of an app that'll allow me to not only change the white balance but also allow me to directly effect the primary (RGB) colors: hue, saturation, luminance (HSL)?

I've seen the apps that have the sliders. And for those curious, I've seen and can tell you that they're only effecting the white point. In my line of work, we measure that white point with a spectrophotometer. It tells us exactly what the wavelength of light is measured to be. White is standardized, in Android world, as well as most of computer world, at 6500(degrees)K(kelvin). It's also called sRGB. There are other standards (and in the case of an OLED display, they may apply; another discussion). But for the web and all applications outside of Photoshop and Davinci Resolve and further upstream, sRBG is where it's at...

So these sliders could allow us to dial in 6500K (aka D65). But past that, we still have these hyper red, green and blue primaries. And that keeps us from having an accurate image on our screens. I'm sort of particular to having an accurate display. So having said what I did about the HSL values of the primary colors, does anyone know if there's an app that allows us to manipulate them (or, dare I say it, allow us to create look-up tables)? It's the one, real shortfall of OLED! At 400+ DPI, I don't consider pen-tile a shortfall.

As an aside, I've read the comments about people using these apps and applying certain values and 'liking them'. That's all well and good. But the people who originally post these values have probably used some type of device to measure them and set them. The FYI is that all displays, coming off the assembly line, will have different characteristics. The values provided by others may serve as a starting point. But it shouldn't be assumed that they're exactly right for your display. What's right for your screen is certainly different than the next guy's. That's where the color measuring tools come in.

All that being said, the app has to allow us to give the proper settings, if that app exists. Past that, once your eyes get used to seeing a truly calibrated display, you'll immediately know it when you see one that isn't (be it on someone else's phone, your own TV, computer display, etc). It'll jump out at you. And you'll say, "What a minute..."

First post. So go easy on me!

Cheers...
