[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toolmanz:
All,

Earlier I posted a Q+A regarding my power button. It doesn't work like it should. It should produce a menu of reboot or power down options when I push and hold it.

In order to reboot I either have to push and hold 15 to 20 seconds and it reboots the tab or use one of the several reboot utilities from Play - but there is a problem with those.

I am running CROMI 4.6.6 on the TF300 and Hunds kernel. I use Trickster to modify the kernel.

But, every time I set Trickster up and reboot using one of the reboot utilities, Trickster won't run because it is a "dirty reboot" and turns itself off.

Here is the question: How does the reboot utility reboot differ from the actual ASUS power button hardware based reboot? I have a TF700 so I know that it works because Trickster works when I use the power button reboot method on the 700.

My thoughts are that the utility based reboot doesn't clear the cache or do some kind of data operation before shutting down. It just reboots on the spot. That to me would be a dirty reboot. I am thinking that if we know what the command is we could execute via terminal or develop an app to perform the correct operation.

I will check out the developers website for Trickster to see if there is any guidance/info there.

Thanks all - this is really frustrating!!

Edit: I have discovered that running su, reboot does the trick and trickster works. Just have to figure out how to execute a script from the home screen - as a shortcut.;)

Ok so for some reason now my SGP 5.0 USA will not turn on right. Whenever I press the power button it shows the loading circle then the battery icon. Now I know what your thinking its dead. But it is not! The battery is always charged. Right now it is at 85 percent and doing this. Only way to get it on is to plug it into the outlet and hold on until finally(after many of the battery reboots as mentioned above) it boots up.

Also it will not stay on. As soon as I unplug the charger the device turns right off. It only seems to start up properly when it is above 95 percent battery. If it is anything under I am forced to have it in the charger. I am on PAC-Rom with Sultan Kernel R5b2. I do not have fast charge enabled.

This is really weird, anyone know whats going on? Is the battery just shot?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TheKryptonite:
Yeah, it happens to me on CM 10.1. I don't think there's anything you can do about it, and if you're worried about it not turning on, why not just charge it whilst it's on? It also seems that both ROMs don't have a charging animation. I'm not even sure if I understood your question, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] lazepr:
It does not matter if its on. I plug the charger in and taking it out will turn the device off. If I try to turn it on it wont turn on it just shows the battery icon then turns off no samsung logo nothing. Im just trying to wonder why its happening. It has never been a problem before been using cm 10.1 since they first released it for the SGP 5.0 and this has not started happening until a week or so ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TheKryptonite:
Do you try to turn it on when it's plugged in? It's probably the ROM that's causing the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] lazepr:
Yes have to hold power button for a good 30 seconds it will do the whole battery icon several times on third one it finally goes to system completely bypassing Samsung logo which is weird.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
Did you try draining the battery completely (boot to download mode and let it sit)? That has fixed it for other people.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanjosep:
Can clearing the battery stats by recovery work?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
That doesn't affect anything but the usage info in the settings app, so no.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] lazepr:
I have just tried this with no luck. This really sucks Its hard to install nightlies and turn it off during the night like I like when I can't even turn it back on or have it reboot into recovery. Think I should try flashing stock then cm9 then cm 10.1 in order see if that helps cause like I said been on cm 10 since it first came out never had a problem until a week ago.

Hello,

as it seems WhatsApp removed the option to disable automatic picture downloads. I've sent them a mail and they told me that if I want the feature I have to install the app from their homepage.

If I do that, will it still be updated through the store? It is atleast listed in the store as installed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagger:
it is supposed to show at the market..

but if it does not then simply attach it forcibly to market via titanium backup..

[Omnia 7 General] pLUSpISTOL:
I've been thinking about this for the last few days and wanted to double check this with you all...

AFAIK, Samsung removed ProvXML in the KK2 ROMs onwards which meant that we were then unable to apply the ProvXML tricks to enable the Nokia Counters app to run.

Is it possible to build an app based on an old firmware version which allows ProvXML but coupled with the latest version of 7.8?
[Omnia 7 General] rsepierre:
maybe you can try out this :

1800pocketpc.com/samsung-omnia-7-kk2-update-fixes-windowbreak-hack

(update the OS without updating the firmware)

It should make you able to keep ProvXML functionnality and get the OS updates

tell me about it, i'm myself trying to find solutions.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
I assume the phone is still useable?

That being the case....breathe a sigh of relief.....

Kies *can* (and often does) cause more issues than it solves.

If you want JB firmware on your phone.....

1) search for your correct firmware on sammobile or samsung updates.com and download it

2) extract it to its .tar format and use odin to flash it.

There are plenty of guides on here about how to use odin if you don't know how....just use search :)

But do yourself a favour......stay away from Kies........

[HTC Rezound] sanders539:
Hey guys, I recently got a new hard drive for my computer and I have the old 80 gig sitting around. I also have my old HTC Aria from when I was on AT&T. I am thinking of either building a CM rom or porting one over to it. Which ever one is easier. I have no Android development experience, so I figured this would be a good way to get my feet in the water.

I would like to hear from some people with some experience. Would Ubuntu or Windows running Ubuntu through a VM be best? Are there any little tips to make things easier? Thanks in advance!
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
So do you have a machine you can dedicate to building roms or are you going to be using your main machine?

I'd put linux on it if it's a stand alone build box, otherwise if you need Windows on your main machine, go with a VM.

You can follow the steps in the how to build CM10.1 guide to set things up once you have a booted linux OS.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1920107

Since you're building for a different phone, you'll wanna poke around that section of XDA to look for a repository to build from vs using the CM10.1 rezound repository...
[HTC Rezound] sanders539:
Thanks! I will be using my main PC but have a dedicated hard drive just for developing. I am familiar with Ubuntu, if I didn't do a lot of audio editing and work with AutoCAD, I would use it instead of windows. I imagine Ubuntu would work perfectly, right?
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
mjones already linked to my guide in Development which is based around Ubuntu.

If you want to do more than just compile preexisting code, you're going to want to get familiar with git, repo, and the layout of code in AOSP. Guides on that are hard to come by, and TBH, trial and error is how I learned things on that front.

I also noticed that a lot of messenger apps (not whatsapp e.g.) drain a lot of battery. If available in the rom, I use "hold backbutton to force close app". So after using the app, I press this button until the app is closed. Then at least until restarting your phone, the app is unable to restart and to drain any more of your battery.

I currently have a photon, and one great convenience of the phone is that when I travel I just buy a local SIM and pop it in. But Sprint has been making that more difficult. The Photon Q didn't even have a removeable SIM, and I've read that the Sprint version of the HTC One needs to be unlocked by Sprint, and it's a nuisance to get them to do that. (and they don't always succeed with the first try, and...)

Does anyone know the status of this phone with regards to using a local SIM overseas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] hitman4274:
you have to have sprint unlock it and it depends on some "qualifications" from them based on who you talk to and what your account looks like. The sim card used in the gs4 is so we can have lte.(just a reminder, wont need this over seas) but essentially you should be able to pull it off as long as you plan for it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Consigliere2:
So theoretically it should work. But it didn't for me.

- Before leaving the US, I called sprint and asked them to unlock the phone

- They said they would

- I got an email saying the phone was unlocked

- I called sprint, asked "Is there a way for me to confirm it's unlocked?". They said no, trust the email.

- I traveled to Hungary.

- Got a Tmobile SIM. Inserted, got "Invalid SIM" message

- Called Sprint tech support- they were completely unhelpful. Blamed T-Mobile

- Went to Vodafone and tried a SIM here (the agent even pulled a 2nd out of his personal phone). Neither worked, I just got the "Invalid SIM" message

- Called sprint again. Unhelpful. Blamed the foreign SIMs

- Friend arrived in Hungary w/ an unlocked iphone. The Hungarian T-Mobile SIM worked instantly.

- Called sprint again- still blamed the foriegn SIMs. "It shows as unlocked on my screen!"

By the way, I was able to hit the "UICC Unlock" in my phone's settings. Didn't help.

So- I'm a sample size of 1- but don't count on it working. Bring a backup phone if you've got one, and/or be prepared to buy a burner.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jj14:
Bummer...

Just to confirm, you hit the "UICC Unlock" when you were in the US? or when you were overseas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Consigliere2:
Both.

I ended up giving the SIM to my friend. When I got back in the states, and the phone had connected back to Sprint's network, I figured I would give the SIM another try just in case I had somehow missed the OTA unlock.

Still no luck.
