[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MoggyTheCat:
I've searched all the keywords I can think of to no avail.

I just bought a T899. It powers on and I can hear the "drip" noises when I touch the screen. The LCD does not light up nor do the soft keys. I was able to boot into recovery and root through Odin3 to "cwm6-root-note2." Odin3 said successful. I've looked for a remote viewing app to try to "see" what is going on onscreen. The ones I've found must be installed on the phone before use.

Are there any apps that can be pushed to my phone number or through USB to this phone that can help me troubleshoot this problem? Or am I just looking at a new LCD? I've taken it apart and everything looks connected inside. It will ring and take calls, just no LCD or soft key lights.

I got it dirt cheap so a replacement LCD will let me still make some money reselling this, but I want to exhaust all options before I go that route.

I'm looking for either a known problem with these or a way to remotely view the screen to flash a new rom to see if that's the problem. I'm new to this phone but have flashed and rooted several other models of Samsung phones.

Thank you for reading...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] nickmatine:
the best way is to pull the battery out and reinsert it and try home button, volume down and power (download mode). if you can see something on screen the lcd is ok. if lcd ok, try to flash another rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MoggyTheCat:
I was lucky to get download mode with no screen. I did flash CMW and connected to Odin. I'm guessing I'll just need to get a new LCD. I was hoping I could troubleshoot with Odin or push a remote screen view app onto the phone. I was hoping for a cheaper fix. I'll just order the new LCD I guess.

Does anyone know of a way to edit the dock bar in the touchwiz launcher? I like the stock launcher but would like to edit it so that I could add 1 or 2 more icons to the dock bar. I know that I can edit how many rows and columns are on the screen but cannot find how to edit the dock bar. Thanks in advance for any help.

Flash 5x6 TW launcher. Best you'll get I think. Just my two cents. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] wgorham:
Can I find it here on XDA? Thanks for the info.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] fupidstucker:
I'm using the whompasaurus rom which gives the option to have 5x6. Idk if you can find a flashable to enable it on roms that don't have it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ianmb:
Just pull the launcher from that rom copy to system app make permissions rw-r-r. Reboot and it should work. I myself am using one rom with launcher, contacts , mms, and play store apks all pulled from different roms and have had no problems.

Just looking for confirmation that my phone is actually dead forever...

I was doing the "wire hack" and immediately after touching the wire to the sd card housing (ground) the phone powered off. Now the power button does not seem to do anything. The phone doesn't appear to power on at all.

It's dead, right?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] FRooter:
I've not tried the "wire trick" for S-OFF; I take it pulling the battery and/or applying a charge via USB/AC-adapter has had zero effect on allowing the unit to power-on?

Is it still under warranty or carrier contract? Perhaps you can get it exchanged at no or little cost.

Was it bought with a credit card, depending on the bank they may offer an extended warranty replacement or credit.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] megatherian:
It's over a year old and was a warranty replacement for a previous one where the screen had died. It was my wife's phone but she recently gave it to me to play with. I'm certainly not a noob when it comes to rooting and custom ROMs, but I haven't had to deal with the whole s-on/off thing before (all Samsung previously).

I have pulled the battery, charged it on an external charger, plugged it in via usb etc. No luck.

I have phone replacement protection on it but the deductible is $150. Not really worth it for a refurb at this point imho.

I have a couple other old phones lying around I can use on that line. I just wanted one with a keyboard.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yulaw5110:
whats this wire hack about?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
Its how you get "S-Off" with this phone so you don't have to flash your boot.img separately thru ADB to run a new ROM.

hI, no matter what I do, if I install every roms my phone is so slow. Can´t play games or quick list in. Have You some idea how accelerate processor and little bit save battery in wifi and 3g mode? Thanks:confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper The Ripper:
You know that It isn't the correct section, don't you?

so why ask for it here??

Galaxy Ace has an ARMV6 processor, it is too old for current heavy games, roms are modifyed to get the best balance between this 2 topic, you can barebone it, doing OC your performance might be reduced...

DON'T FORGET TO ASK IN THE CORRECT SIDE ;)

[HTC Droid DNA] clarasmom:
I didn't find any thread with this seemingly small, but excessively ANNOYING, problem outlined.

It's simple, in the last week or 2 I cannot get my text message preferences to stay set (i.e. I like "extra large" font, and a diff color scheme than default).

I'm using a stock DNA with whatever the latest OTA update b/c I'm a knucklehead. And though I'd like to root my phone, I'm scared due to my lack of knowledge :)

But this simple task has never been a problem before! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] menti11:
Few days ago I've found a problem - I can't connect my phone to PC via USB cable. When I connect - phone is just charging but no debug, no usb-sign in statusbar, no reaction from PC companion, nothing except charging.

When I trying connect with SEUS - I need to go in bootloader-mode, but I can't do this because PC doesn't see my phone anyway...

I've tried two usb-cables and three different laptops with Win 7, 8 and XP - result was same - nothing.

MicroUSB looks like new one. I can't repair software because can't connect to PC, I've already make hard-reset via android settings - no results.

Someone know what to do? In my town no Sony service, may have a solution that does not require service?

Please help
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Twerkeologist:
I have successfully gotten root access on my samsung exhibit 4g via zerg method but i tried to flash the recovery image(both cwm and twrp) and both failed. i tried both flashing from recovery and pushing the recovery.img through the android terminal and those did not work. The flash through the stock recovery came up with "E: Signature Verification Failure" errors and the terminal method didn't come up with errors but did not apply it when i went to the recovery. I would really appreciate some help:) btw it's the original exhibit with 3 buttons.

Everything in this forum is for the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G-T679. Not sure where you can get help with your phone.

There ain't and I don't think the new exhibit will either.

I thought they were grouped together, the galaxy exhibit root method worked for it so I thought the ROMs and recoveries would too

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] gratefuled:
Is it me or does there seem to be a lot more support for the Blue Angel than the Magician?

I have been a great fan of XDA Developers ever since 10-03, because this Site offered me such great support for my first PPC-PE, MDA II.

Then I got the PDA2K, about 10-04 and immediately there was a tremendous amount of support on this site for the Blue Angel. Unfortunately, I did not like my PDA2K.

Now I have the Magician, JAM, and I check in daily, but iot does not seem like this site is very involved in this Product. It also seems like the higher-en technology savvy posters and developers do not participate much with the Magician. I know it is fairly new, but to me this is the greates of HTC's devices.

Why the lack of interest?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Guest:
Agreed but generally XDA-Developers has decreased with the number of posts, interesting hacks, custom roms...gone are all the XDA-Developers who first learned how to unlock the original XDA or create a custom rom.

But maybe the Imate Jam / XDA Mini is just the most stable and solid from HTC and not as many issues leads to not as many posts!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] gratefuled:
I agree the fact that the Magician has been very stable an useful out of the gate is a factor in this.

I just wish someone would get cracking on the BT Profile or figure out a way to get the Widcomm working. At one time a guy had a reward posted for this. Lately though activity is very weak on that piece.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Mithrandir:
Hi,

did you ever try Pocketzenphone (www.pocketzenphone.net)?

There is a feature to enable Bluetooth with Widcomm support. Maybe this could help with your second question.

I was putting songs onto my phone via USB and the cable was on my leg and it started getting hot! I pulled it out of my computer and S2, and the cable end had bent it was that hot, :(. The charging slot in my S2 is really really lose and awkward to use, is there anything Samsung or my network provider will do? I've had it since Christmas 2011, the phone is rooted and that. Help anyone? :crying:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] nitin_ko:
i charge it at night and when i wake up battery is at 93%, a 7% discharge in about 8 hours which is reasonable. from the last few days its at 53% when i wake up.

have checked all battery apps etc and cant find any faulty app.

i need to force restart it and after some time it again hangs.

factory reset also did not solve the issue.

pls suggest what to do :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] neo.ank:
What ROM are you using.?

And what does you battery usage say.?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SAJdroid:
Post your battery stats here

1. Run System Panel App from google play - just have a look on all the processes and see if any App is hogging the memory. - Just check if a process called android media process is running and % utilization.

2. Goto recovery and wipe your cache.

3. Download Motomizer and wipe battery stats.

4. Check if you have given permission to any location based App to access your GPS ( FB, Google Now, Maps etc)

See if it helps.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nitin_ko:
am on stock

sure, will try and post the stats here
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nitin_ko:
seems i have lost root also

the phone continues to hang and gets hot

anyone in delhi can help me fix it :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SAJdroid:
Back your data ,go into stock recovery and do a factory reset.

Reset will require a minimum battery level of 25%. If you are unable to perform a reset, please charge for 20-30 minutes and try reset again.

1. With the phone powered off, press the VOL UP + VOL DOWN KEY together + POWER KEY .

2. The device will display different BOOT OPTIONS

3. Use the VOL DOWN Key to SCROLL to Recovery and VOL UP Key to SELECT

Tip: If the device reboots, you may have waited to long to make a selection, you will need to begin the process again.

4. The device will display the Motorola logo and then the Android in distress ( logo with Exclamation mark)

5. Press and hold the VOL DOWN key for 5-10 seconds

6. While still holding the VOL DOWN key tap and release the VOL UP key.

Tip: Try this step, holding the phone in landscape. If you are stuck on step 6, do a force reboot by pressing the power Key and Vol Down key, and start the process again.

7. The device will display additional menu options (Text will appear in BLUE)

8. Use the VOL DOWN Key to scroll to Wipe data / factory reset and the POWER Key to SELECT this option.

9. Use the VOL DOWN key again to select YES - delete all user data and press the POWER key to CONFIRM

10. Once the Formatting is complete, press the POWER key to confirm a REBOOT

11. The device will reboot and start the normal power up sequence .

[Motorola Droid RAZR] nitin_ko:
i did factory reset twice, cleared dalvik cache etc using the method above but did not do the wipe data option coz the usb was not being recognised by the pc. i took my phone to the guy who had programmed it initially , he told me if i do a wipe data i will loose all cdma settings and there will be no way to reprogramme it unless i get the usb fixed. i took the phone to gafar and showed it to a few guys, one shop asked me 3500 bucks and i was like Hell NO !!! shop # 111 asked me 800 bucks and i said yeah go ahead, he took an hour or so and later said that he changed the usb port and all but still pc did not detect it. came back sad. Seems there is hardware issue but surprisingly the usb port charges my mobile but does not recognise it.

now decided to use it till it is dies. am at a dead end now. had i not purchased a xperia tablet Z, i would have not have thought twice to go for samsung S4 cdma @35k. but seems i will have to wait a bit. Purchased a new battery for my backup phone moto glam XT800.

Unfortunately since your phone is not psychic its either remembering that those friends work at company X or having your phone randomly guessing ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Athar Mansoor:
I think since they have the some work number you should be getting calls from the board number. That would be same for every one working in that organization.

I would suggest having the board number saved separately and you can store the contact with the board and extension number (using pauses) or his direct work number (usually replacing the last digits with the extension)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
i always dirty flash, never wipe. wiping will delete your apps and data. only wipe when you are flashing a different rom. when updating, you never have to wipe.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
If your upgrading the same rom then dirty flashing is fine, however if you are completlely changing roms its better to do a full wipe. If you dont you may get bugs that dont normally occur.

I installed Go launcher in my rooted galaxy Y pro duos... I'm on stock rom...

The task manager in samsung's touchwiz ui is a samsung created app that detects every app thats running except for the apps its not programmed to detect.

In short itll detect everyapp except for the apps that are by default installed on ur device :)

Use a different task manager from market and add Go Launcher to its whitelist...this will create a permission for the launcher in that specific task killer
