I brick my phone 2 times, but bouth time I can enter download mode First time I unbrick with oficial LG tool, I dont know how, I just connect/disconnect about 10 time and program ask me for serial, and unbrick automatically. Second time I used LG Flash tool and flash kdz file. I tried first with official but without sucess, said something about removing battery. I tried also LGNPST ACG and success to flash TWRP, and to push ROM with ADB, but every ROM I instaled when start to boot I see nothing(looks like ded phone). I tried all ROMs but nothing. Finaly LG Tool with CSE flash method was successful. And I got factory 20a ROM. My previos factory ROM was 20b. :) I spent 4 hour on finding solution.

And weit........

Finish.

Usually a hard brick is undetectable if it's because of the user or the phone itself. When I hard bricked my phone I just pretended I had no idea what was going on and they repaired it for me for free. So your warranty is gone when it's bricked, but not when it's hard bricked :D

[Other Tools & General Discussion] mousetopher:
Hi All,

I am trying to come up with a scripted mass deployment of apps to devices for a classroom situation. We have ~50 devices connected with USB and at the moment I am only able to deploy to 15 at a time, this seems to be a hard limit imposed by ADB's scanning of only 30 ports (2 for each device). I have tried multiple instances of ADB with different ANDROID_ADB_SERVER_PORT env-vars with flaky results. My questions are:

1. How do you deploy and install to 50 devices over usb at one time

2. Is there anything I can do to make multiple instances of ADB more reliable.

There seems to be very little discussion on the 15 device limit, I have searched it extensively. What I'm thinking at the moment is to hire out and have somebody write something using ddmlib to handle this many connections but I want to know if anything similar already exists.

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] AndOrNot:
G'day.

I'm trying to get started developing Android applications but I have hit a bit of a wall.

I've been learning Java, and finally downloaded the Android SDK yesterday. The official Android Developers site says that Android applications are built using Java, but when I started following the "getting started" tutorial I quickly realized that it is not really using Java, and i hardly recognize a thing.

After a bit of searching I found that Android apps do not use Java, they use.... 'Android.'

Now, I understand that the Android language is based on Java, but I still can't help but feel as though I've been wasting my time when I could have been learning Android directly.

My questions are:

1. What is the best non-YouTube resource for learning Android? (I don't have unlimited internet)

2. Why does the Android site claim that it's apps are built with Java?

3. Why didn't they just actually use Java? Why did they have to modify it into a different language? Is it to purposefully make things more complicated and annoy people, or is Java too limited for mobile apps?

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] syung:
I don't know if you remember the big Google/Oracle (developers of Java) lawsuit a while back, although it is unrelated to Java itself, that is probably one of the reasons AOSP decided against using the actual Java language in creating apps. Since it's based on Java, people who have some Java experience would probably have a head start than someone with no Java experience.

To answer your first question, your best bet would be to go to a bookstore like Barnes and Noble and buy an Android development book. They have plenty of books out there for developing for Android and does not require the internet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] icebear8:
just wondering does leaving the GPS on for location services eat up my data? just wondering as i upgraded to the S4 and had to get the 2GB plan and now i have to start watching my data and use wifi since i lost my unlimited plan.

also does leaving it on eat a lot of battery life?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nickhimself:
Yes, GPS will use data unless connected to WiFi. Any widgets, weather apps, or location accessible apps will use their specified update interval to ping your location.

That's dependent on your device and its configuration. For example, if you have a weather app set to update the forecast and temp every 30 minutes, it'll wake your device to gather the necessary info every half hour. That means more awake time, less deep sleep. Conversely, if you set it to update every 2+ hours, it'll be waking your device less often which will allow longer periods of sleeping.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] icebear8:
Do you know if its a lot of data? I only use one weather app and that is beautiful wigets then I use facebook but JUST to look at peoples post, I never post and I never like post where im at or use check in
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] najaboy:
To be clear, GPS does not, in and of itself, use data and turning it off won't save data. Apps such as BW alternatively uses network location to approximate your location. The app uses your location to download information relevant to that locale. The same amount of cellular data is used in both scenarios. In either case, your best practice is to adjust the refresh rates for location aware apps accordingly.
[General Questions and Answers] knabbjolf:
Gentlemen.

Trying to grant superuser access ("root" ? ) to my chinese tablet.

Following different forums I tried the uberizer, SRStool and doktor doom but nothing works, the joe krim java applikation tool reports no superuser rights.

The uberizer v1.6 recognizes my tablet as N91_nuclear_anpei9sy so Im assuming I have correct adb drivers, and yes, I have checked the usb debug, unknown sources and killed firewall in windblows. In uberizer I tried all options for rooting and this damn tablet still boots correct, no error codes or signs I corrupted android (me very disappointed).

In the scripts flying by in uberizer and dr doom I see permission denied and no such directory at several places, tried installing adbd insecure but got a bit upset at the apk installer program, the size of that programwindow is not resizable or maxmised so it does not allow me to see buttons furthest below where I guess the install/upload buttons are.

The SRStool freaked out my windblows totally and had to be killed.

My intention is to dual boot in to a real linux as this android seems to be a windowed linux.

I would also find pleasure in using this tablet as frisbee for my dog so buying this tablet as not waste of money, I just have to mind my doggy not choking on the allwinner cpu.

I read a thread for the Sanei N83 which appoints that model as hopeless and a rooted firmware had to be flashed, do anyone knows availability of rooted Sanei N91 firmware ?

Any comment pointing me in any direction appreciated.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shasarak:
The One, in common with many phones, has its minimum backlight brightness set much too high for my liking: regardless of whether powersave and autobrightness modes are on or off, the screen at minimum brightness is far too bright if you're viewing it in a dark room.

There, are of course, apps which diminish screen brightness by using a translucent black overlay, and indeed I'm using one right now - Lux, it's called; but, while that kind of app reduces the brightness of whites, it has no effect at all on black-level, and the overall dynamic range and contrast ratio is reduced (not to mention an impact on performance).

Is there any way to actually reduce the brightness of screen's backlight below normal levels? I'm not currently rooted, but would be willing to try that if it solves this issue.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ankushkool:
Hi All,

Bought a new Xperia SP! Love it but have 2 issues:\

1) The LED notification for missed calls not working (rest is working)

2) The ram is showing as 786 MB only!
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pete_S:
1) +1 (a bug. I believe if you disable STAMINA power mode it works, but haven't tried it)

2) +1 (the rest probably consumed by Android system)

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melek-taus:
Any one know how to free up more RAM without root. My free RAM is very low and I think thats the reason why Firefox crashes randomly.

And where is the rest of my 1GB RAM?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pete_S:
Actually, I'd also like to know what's using the remaining 200MB or so of the 1GB RAM. Is it the system? Surely the system is already included in the used RAM indicator? Or maybe it's for the graphics?

I do find it annoying that with its advertised 1GB RAM the SP all too easily appears to run out of memory. Loading up complex pages in Opera set for "desktop" user agent frequently causes background apps to be kicked out. Sometimes even Opera appears to be booted out for using too much RAM! This shouldn't happen on a modern 1GB RAM device, when there's still around 200MB RAM free, and a further 200+MB "missing". It's a bit of a joke really... Now I can begin to understand why the latest hardware has 2GB.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melek-taus:
Seems 200MB is reserved for the system. And also XBMC seems to use alot of cache memory. Removed XBMC and turned of alot of Sony apps and now I have a decent amount of RAM left.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melek-taus:
Here
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sss2sssss:
So, I think everyone still dunno what the "1GB" RAM mean...

usually in android phone, the 1GB RAM was not exactly 1GB, normal scaling is 7XXMB user and system access RAM + 2XX MB system hardware reserve RAM (usually ur GPU - it's like the old Intel GMA)

Then 7XXMB user and system access RAM is further separate to user access RAM and system process reserve RAM (just see how's they scaling)

And it same as other market advertise 2GB, 512MB, etc Android Phone, even S4's user and system access RAM also approx 1.8GB instead of "2GB"

U all are still haven see how's Samsung stock ROM make their RAM usage always in busy usage (If someone got use S Advance with updated JB Stock ROM then u should know)

What's xbmc?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melek-taus:
XBMC is Xbox Media Center. It was first developed for the original Xbox.

Now its available for all platforms like Android, , Windows, Linux even Rasperry Pi. Its a complete media center solution with any function you can think of.

Google it, its really interesting. It has full media functionality with its own UI. You can watch movies, stream tv shows through internet, listen to music, run software, its almost a stand alone operating system.

Under Android you can even use your phone as a remote/ keyboard to navigate through XBMC while having it installed on an Android tv stick.

i got the xpeia sp recently and im a bit sad about the multitasking of a mid range android phone and i want to find a solution, i have another really cheap chinese quad core phone and the ram is 1gb too, in the info at antutu benchmark it says 971 mb whereas the sp says 766! im sure there is a solution out there to make the most of the ram and get better multitasking, can anyone with cyanogenmod rom tell us their ram value please?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raziel123:

both phones when empty from bloatware, the xperia sp free ram is 260mb and the chinese phone is 422 mb, why?!!!! i want the value to change at antutu benchmark device info to 971 mb instead of 766 mb is there a way??
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjraider:
We have 1 GB of RAM. Aprox 200/250 mb is for system. For:

- Camera; filming does not work without enough RAM

- GPU; If you have a PC and you game a lot you know what i mean

Also for being able to connect, and have the system running smooth there is RAM needed.

About your LED issue:

Stamina mode enabled? If yes disable it or download illumination bar pro ;)

It has been stated many times by sony that stanima mode disables the LED to save battery ;)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raziel123:
The Chinese "Super" phone you refer to more than likely has no manufacturer skin like Touchwiz etc, and zero bloatware thats why it has more free ram.

with a MTK Cortex A7 processor, as for performance goes it cannot compare to the Xperia SP.

you've already been told some of the Ram is reserved for the GPU/Imaging camera system etc.

tweaking androids internal Minfree values can with multi-tasking.

I don't think they manufacture a wifi card that slots completely into the XDA2 as the design of the card demands that part of it is the antenna.

The XDA2i with integrated wifi would have an antenna built into the case design :)

The easiest way without changing your unit is a PDair Aluminium Case. This lets the card stick out the top, and has storage inside for a memory card, when not in use,

Hi all

Not sure if this is the right forum so I appologise in advance!

I have an Galaxy S3 19300 which is currently unlocked, I can use it on O2, EE, THREE, ORANGE AND T-MOBILE. I have download Hyperdrive RLS14 Universal S3.ziped and installed it into my downloads folder on my sd card. I then booted followed these steps:

1. Download latest Hyperdrive Rom version

2. Reboot into Recovery

3. Wipe Data/Factory Reset twice

4. Wipe cache/dalvik cache & wipe system

5. Install Rom

But the installation keeps freezing after just a few seconds, it gets to the /system/media/bootsamsung.qmg.

I have left it installing for about 30mins.

I have downloaded the rom several times as I thought it might be a corrupt file causing the freeze, but this didn't fix the problem.

I have also tried removing the battery before installing the hyperdrive rom, that didn't work either.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I was thinking of trying a different version but I wanted all the latest updates.

Any suggestions much appreciated

Just one last question. How do I find out who my carrier is?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZsDaniel:
That ROM will never work on I9300, the Universal S3 in the zip name means it'll work on any of the US Variants, but not on the International Variant. You can easily brick your phone with that, but you're lucky it's stuck in the begining.

I tried to upgrading my ROM for my O2 XDA II Mini, but I think I used the wrong ROM and now all that comes on my screen is Serial v1.00 or USB v1.00. There was some error that came up as it was flashing, about being the wrong model.

I bought the English version in Hong Kong and I think it might have been shipped from Australia. I have spoken to technical support and they have suggested I need to take it back to them for a 5 day repair.

Can anybody advise how to get out of this situation?

Also is it possible to flash and O2 XDA Mini with the I-Mate JAM ROM as I don’t think I can find the correct ROM for this model and country phone?
