[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Thy Gamer:
I have a sprint epic touch (GS2) that had jellybean the newest update from Samsung for the device.

The power button was going out on it and I tried fixing and breaking it off... To small for me to solder back on.

So I ordered a JIG from amazon, works GREAT on my tmobile vibrant and my sprint galaxy s 4, but won't work on my S2.

It's charged to almost full battery, Any ideas to get it to turn on so I can root it? I searched the forum and saw if I rooted it back to older version the jig would work... But the only reason I have a JIG is to power it on, but it didnt work, so other then replacing the power button any ideas? Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
Unfortunately with the new bootloader the jig will not boot you up to recovery without pushing the power button. You can Google mobile tech videos. They have a power button repair service. I am also able to replace power buttons as well. It is fixable as long as you didn't break any pads or completely ruin the traces to the pads.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Thy Gamer:
Thanks, I know I can send it in to them, just wasn't wanting to spend the money, it has a broken screen, and they dont fix that Eh (I'm sure I can do that myself)

Why is it only on the G2 that the boat loader was changed? My G4 the usb jig works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
I think they might. Not sure. It is really easy to replace the screen. I am not entirely sure... Ever since the official JB release, a jig will not force the phone to power on. I have an idea that it has something to do with preventing people from rooting. I downgraded my bootloader though, so I have no issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] noobtoob:
I thought a straight up battery pull/replace turned the phone on with the new Boot loader. Have you given that a try?

Edit: also, the app nomoarpowah from chainfire keeps the phone in a shutdown state with a scheduled or a "reboot now" button on screen, so that may help with not having a power button. Needs root, but who doesn't have that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
I actually never tried that and it should work...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Thy Gamer:
The Straight Up battery pull doesn't work, I tried that before. Going have to replace the power button, no way around it Eh
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
Seems like it... Sorry for your luck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] awoolf:
If you don't have insurance coverage and are out of warranty, you can replace the switch yourself. Several eBay sellers offer replacement power switches for the Epic Touch for about ten bucks.

Or, if you don't have mad soldering skills, you can ship it out to get fixed. A few sellers offer mail-in repair service:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Power-Button-Repair-Samsung-Galaxy-S-Galaxy-S-II-Galaxy-NOTE-MORE-/320910836052

Replacing the switch is probably much like replacing a USB port. This shows how to replace your microUSB port without a fancy de-soldering station or hot air pencil. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ao5T9_XcCrU
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] newsteadmission:
I have been using the CM10 ROM for about a week now and I have been having this crazy issue with the camera exaggerating the light like crazy. I went outside to take a picture and the entire screen went completely white. Same goes for indoors when there are semi bright lights around but it isn't as intense as when I go outside. This wasn't happening before I switched to CM10 so I am guessing it has something to do with the AOSP camera app. Does anyone know of a fix or a different camera app I could flash?

Update: I played with the camera and discovered closing it and reopening it seems to do it. It isn't permanent but it works when it happens.

So HTC and Sammy will sell their own Nexus variants tomorrow Mod edit to thankfully make me look less silly

These nexus variants will be without half the features that make the S4 and HTC One the phones that they are, no remotes, no Touchwiz or Sense, no blink feed, will the 4uMP camera perform the same? Will all the gestures be in the S4? All for what? Two devices running stock? With the exception of the LTE, proper devs should be looking towards the Nexus 4.

I keep reading in forums that people have convinced themselves stock is faster...... better on the battery (debateable) have more access to apps. Please stop it........

Hi guys!

Did any of you ever get it sorted out? I have an imito mx1 rooted device with a custom Rom and I get the same error.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shawn7656:
I have tried flashing both the CM10 Nightlies and Omega, and each time I got the "Unauthorized Software Detected" message on my AT&T S4. I've flashed back to stock using ODIN. However, I'm not finding any threads in any of the subforums that talk about how to fix this.

From searching around online it seems I haven't unlocked my bootloader, which is obviously true, because I'm just using the Loki workaround like we all are. So I guess I just don't understand how to implement this workaround - as it was my understanding that ROMs would come "pre-loki'd". I just found and downloaded Loki-Doki, but I haven't used it yet. I'm still not even done setting up my entire phone after the last reset (I made a recovery with CWM, switched to TWRP, and didn't think that the recovery files would be incompatible). Will Loki-Doki solve my problems? What am I doing wrong that I need to be doing? I'm not finding any ROM threads with specific flashing instructions past the "wipe wipe wipe, flash" type.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skydeaner:
Holy moley I have never seen transitions this smooth before. Except maybe in the old launcher pro days. I have tried plenty of launchers probably about the top 10 at least. And while most have transitions that don't "lag" per se, they aren't as smooth as you see scrolling on iPhone. It has been discussed thoroughly elsewhere. But something in atom launchers programming makes it much smoother than any of the others, both in the app drawer and switching between home screens. It is really an app you should try.

Try it. It is plenty customizable too. The theming is kind of weird and there aren't that many themes but I'm sure more will get added. Hopefully they add more of their amazing transitions as well.

You can't use the stock recovery for flashing zip. Its not even.accessible at all

Install wkparks uboot to install custom recovery like cwm/twrp just search the forum for guide.

I just want to know the key combination for accessing the recovery mode in SU760. I don't want anything else.
[LG Optimus 3D] drastic00:
We are not sure what you did, but...

Did you have custom recovery on the phone (CWM or TWRP)? You are using the correct key combination for custom recovery on SU760, at least that was the combination that was used when I was on ICS ported from SU760. I don't know about stock recovery.

So, if you cant get to it, you did something that makes it unavailable. Flashing is one way to fix that, as Karim suggests.

Not sure about qtek, but the sx66 has a hole in the back with a rubber plug in it, that is supposed to be for an external antenna. I took the plug out and it looks like a connector inside. Don't know of anyone who actually makes the antenna though. If you can find some specs on the connector, you might be able to find a generic 850/900/1800/1900 MHz antenna that fits it. They've got pictures here of a blue angel taken apart you might be able to measure the conectory from the pics an the case.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
i have been eyeing the s3 for a while but have steered away from it due to build quality, and sheer size of the device.

i really like the smaller size of this phone, especially after seeing my girl with it for so long, and how convenient it has been for her. it seems to preform well even stock, as she is very timid towards rooting and romming.

my first question : would you guys suggest this phone?

i currently have a droid x2, and it has been interesting to say the least :eek: . i am looking for something dependable (which i know most motorola's are, even the dx2 was) as well as something that can perform. how is performance in your eyes?

one more thing, there is a successful method for unlocking the bootloader in the retail edition from what i have read..... is this the case? if so, do you guys see development for this device growing in the future? or does it seem to be dying down.?

thanks in advance, :cowboy: it seems like a pretty trusty little phone from what ive read.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pbanj:
yes you can unlock the bootloader, and development has been growing on this phone sense the unlock. i like my m it preforms well and the battery life is great.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christpuncher:
Definitely recommended. Best android phone I've had yet
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowRAZR:
Agreed, the RAZR M ticks all my boxes. Has been an amazing phone :) love it.

Performance wise, its great. And there is a kernel to get it to 1998 MHz if you root. Development has just kept growing really as stated before.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanlalee:
I still love the phone even if it were stock (which its not) and I ALWAYS long for an upgrade 6 months after getting a phone.I have NO desire to replace it. The size is perfect, build quality outstanding, battery life great, performance good, it has almost the latest OS which for an android phone that's not a nexus is about as good as it gets. The one reservation I had about it and all Motorola phones was the locked bootloader but with that cracked and AOSP CM10.1 (4.2.2) I'm in love!. I just bought my wife a Titanium (Best Buy only) M in like new (no evidence of use) condition with case and sd card off eBay for $250 and honestly I want hers too lol. Got mine in the same condition in white off of eBay as well but for $350 which then was a great price for a like new M.

The one drawback is the smallish partion for apps on the internal SD card and as far as I can tell no easy or reliable apps to SD (I did it with one app which one day borked, wiped and destroyed my micro sd). This kind of kills this phone if your a mega gamer (mulitple games with 500+mb data will quickly wipe out internal space).
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
there is a bootloader unlock on this now. which makes it even more exciting, and maybe will produce that much more development. :cowboy:

i think it is an all around great phone from all of the research ive done. i just want to make sure the same X2 experience doesnt happen again. lol

another HUGE thing is that this phone is not huge. :cool: just when you thought phones would turn into tablets, the razr M comes along. hopefully it starts a trend in making them small again.

Hello guys

I tried to flash a wifi fix modem in Odin and now I cannot boot my phone and cannot flash a stock ROM.

I was on Omega7 (which has wifi problems)

Bought Phone Odin, chose to flash firmware (found the modem files I had downloaded)

Phone reboot to download mode, so I thought it had not worked, and tried to flash it in Odin PC version... but it got stuck at boot.img

So I unplugged, restarted Odin/Phone and tried again and again, but no luck.

So I tried flashing a Stock rom (I9505XXUBMEA_I9505OXABMEA_I9505XXUBMEA_HOME.tar.md5) but that gets stuck at boot.img too.

What can I do?

When I try to boot the phone, it says something about going to Kies and doing recovery there... but that assumes I have got some backup file to recover from, besides, Kies does not find my phone, it recognises it is plugged in, but continues searching for it.

Any bright ideas?

Before the screen shuts off on it's set timeout it dims. No idea why this is necessary since the screen will shortly time out anyway. Is there a way to remove the screen dimming before the screen shuts down or change the length of time before it dims ?

"SmartStay" (AKA NeverWorkedForMeStay) doesn't work at all for me. Maybe it's my glasses or maybe my ugly face scares it into shutting down :) but the point is how can I stop it from dimming before the screen shuts off? It just seems like such a useless and annoying "feature."
