[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] earthmon:
I think you were being too honest.

I got my note2 motherboard replaced last month. and since they coundnt tell whether i had rooted or not and samsung havent officially made any announcement about sds, i told them what i found on the net that the system status shown customs because the nand memory was corrupt and it couldnt read the product name nor system partition thereore it defaulted the system status to be custom.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gicarey:
As a further update, Samsung central help group pretty awful to deal with, and not resulting in a satisfactory resolution.

Was eventually promised a call back, finally got an email 4 days later basically telling me 'whatever our 3rd party service centre told you we will stand by, if you collect & send to us, we'll lookup their response and use that in communication with you..' 'If you want to challenge their assertion, you'll need to source a report from an independent assessor.'

So, from all this - Ultimately, I need the phone back in a reasonable timeframe, so I've asked the 3rd party service centre to effect the repair, and I'll pay their £120 bill. I have also told them that I want whatever components they replace (I'm told likely motherboard), and copies of their full engineers report containing details of the fault found, diagnosis of cause, and resolution steps - returned to me along with the device so that I retain any evidence I require for further discussions (getting them to agree to this was an awful task, as they initially quoted various recycling regulations).

Once it's back in hand, I'll then revert to Samsung again, and work my way up through the escalation queue.

Next phone, I suspect, won't be a Samsung device. Maybe Nexus.

Fun fun fun...

I purchased an InvisibleSHIELD a few weeks ago, however the corners have started to peel up so I shall request a replacement from Zagg soon. However, the rubber coating on my Xperia T appears to be rubbing off, after only light & careful use, so I decided to purchase a case and the best one that I could get in the UK seemed to be the Case Mate Barely There (on Case Mate's website & Amazon). Hopefully it comes tomorrow and can protect the areas that are starting to rub off (shown in the attached photo), does anyone else have this case and can they offer any feedback on it? I will post my opinions of it later and will try to answer any questions (I'm also willing to answer questions on the full body InvisibleSHIELD if anyone has any!). :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Adlepp:
I have this case in white. It's great, makes my phone look like a storm trooper, has decent protection, raised beveled edges on the front to protect the screen when placed face-down. Good purchase.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mr_torture:
I didn't know that this matte surface could be peeled off... :confused:

It obviously does. What is the surface underneath? It seems like some glossy plastic. This is really bad.

On past SE phones, it was much more durable, and it wasn't just some tiny coating.

My father is still using my old SE K800 phone, and matte surface is still intact.

Also, my first Android phone, X10 Mini Pro, never had similar issues in more than 2 years of usage.

If nothing, now I'm sure I will never take off protective case from my Xperia T.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] immerblind:
i think this issue isnt common, some have that problem, but its not the major part.

i have my XT since it came out, and i never used a case. and all fine here with the back. so its bad for everyone who has that problem, but its not every phone

So as a Samsung Owner then a Iphone5 owner I am mainly just fustrated with the poor performance and function of Bluetooth. Also I just purchased a Fitbit Flex for me and my wife which come to find out won't work on the HTC One. 4.3 will finally put android on par with the Bluetooth Specifications of Apple and standardize the APIs for Low Power Devices.

I already have a backup for TWRP using nandroid, but does this also covered this files?

IMEI / NV?

EFS?

PDA?

if no, can you provide some advice

and I still don't know how to install TWRP.

I tried goomanager but it doesn't have

openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.2-jfltexx.tar

or

openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.2-jfltexx.img

for my region

and I don't know how to use odin in general..

I'm very afraid to brick my phone, but I'm dying to flash this thing...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norml:
Making newbs like me look bad. This is my first smartphone ever, which I recieved on May 9th, 2013. You don't need any help at all man. All you need to do is search, read, search, read, search and read some more. Especially for the basic stuff ur asking, it's so easy to find guides/tutorials/threads/posts.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slig:
As stated above and from my side you should begin reading from threads like "my phone is not working anymore after flashing custom rom". Individuals who do not search and read are punished by Galaxy Gods just as described in such threads.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terryspanky:
Give me a break man, I just need to know what's steps to do in order to flash my phone, I don't understand the tech details very much.. I might do steps 3, 4 w/o doing steps 1, 2 then brick my phone. I don't want to be blamed for that...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slig:
No step by step instruction can replace knowledge. If you don't understand tech details and you don't want to learn then OTA and Kies are best for you. Flashing custom rom is serious operation that replaces whole phone's OS, it's not installation of windows software.

It's your phone and you will do it your way, this is only a friendly advice because this is the way most smartphones get bricked.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norml:
It would be blamed on you because of not following instructions and skipping steps 1, 2., as stated in ur example. Don't you agree?

Whenever you use odin, always use tar or tar.md5 files, never zips or img. ONLY things that should be clicked are auto-reboot and PDA/files, whenever you do ANYTHING with odin, but they will be automatically clicked when you start the program and when you choose a file to load in PDA. Here's the tar you would need direct from twrp's storage site which you could've EASILY gotten through searching google or here, instead of asking ppl like me for BREAKS. http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/jfltexx Flash it via odin, follow their guide/thread which you can easily find here somewhere and you will have recovery installed. Make a back up, test ur back up and see if it restores correctly. The rest is up to you, my good deed for the day is done (I hope I go to heaven, lol), just follow the guide for the custom rom u choose which is usually in the OP.

Sorry for compalaining too much, it's just when I search on google,

Hi i just got thephonenewand i had a question. My power button doesnt push down like my other phones its more like a light touch. Is that supposed to be like this? Or is the power button supposed to be more elevated. Btw it completely works
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] HenBoward:
Mine does depress, but not much. Certainly not as much as my evo.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rirere:
Nice username.

Yeah, the One has a very stiff button, so you're going to get almost no tactile feedback when you press it. That's how it's supposed to be. If you don't like it though, there are several mods floating around this forum on ways you can raise its profile (like painting on clear nail polish).
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] p3tr0s:
Or just bypass it almost completely and use the modified kernels for slide to wake or double tap to wake. There's also a few other long press options too. At least that way you only use then power button to turn on and off the phone.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] HenBoward:
There also appear to be options for turning screen off through the eqs, although I haven't been able to get those to work for me. Sweep2wake/sweep2sleep is awesome. Also a great little show off for your non rooted friends!

Dear Fellow Forum Members,

Followed instructions as per Xda_II_Upgrade.pdf, during installation got to a section where I got a message saying that the current rom is being erased a task bar was displayed which increase's in percentage as the job goes through. However the job was still at 0% completion when an error message was displayed saying the job had failed and the device needed to be undocked and a soft reset performed and then re-docked and to restart the process again. After performing the undocking of the device and software reset I get a message on the screen serial V1.0.1 when connected to the cradle the message changes to USB 1.01 and I cannot do anything else the unit does not boot into pocketpc, as you can imagine this is very frustrating as I depend on my xda2 to receive and make phone calls I would be very grateful any members know of any way to get around this problem. I must say I am a bit concerned a try and tested xda2 update has led to this problem.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andypa1:
Hi Guys,

I’m stuck somewhere in the middle of root access. I was having problems with weak phone signal so I was advised to change the kernel.

I followed the procedure correctly but this led to the phone running hot, rebooting itself from time to time and occasional freezing.

So I want to start a fresh, backup some of my data files (can’t use titanium as it’s asking for root access) and then flash the saber kernel and probably also a new rom.

In Superuser the root access is green so I presume this is okay however there are no apps in the approved list… When I go to root checker or any other app requiring root they just whir and do nothing.

ROM manager tries to flash custom recovery but it just gets stuck at 100% flashing until I touch the screen

Holding up+home+power just keeps re-booting the phone without going into custom recovery and I can’t use mobile odin as it gets stuck checking root access!

I’ve been flashing roms for many years so I’ve no idea what’s going on here! Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Cheers,

Andy

What should be my next troubleshooting steps?

Phone Details:

-Verizon Galaxy Nexus(toro)

-Stock Rom with no root

Phone Problems:

-Notifications lag(stutter) 75% of the time. Mostly when the screen is off.

-No audio output through pogo pins to 3 pin car dock. Was working last month.

-When the screen is off and I get an incoming call I can not wake the phone to answer it until the last ring before it goes to voicemail.

Troubleshooting steps:

-Replaced battery

-Flashed stock rom, AOKP, and CM10.1

-Flashed phone completely back to stock(radio, recovery, boot,....)

-Uninstalled most non stock apps

Thank you for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
These issues happen on all roms then?

a) not sure about notif lag, what's this lag you're talking about, lag in the sound notif? Might have something to do with max CPU speed on screen off;

b) what has changed, software-wise? Might be some incompatibility between the car dock and the ROM, or some hardware fault.

c) could be some issue with proximity sensor; even when the screen is on, you can't answer the call?

I would just check kmsg and logcat, just to see some final confirmation, but it seems some parts have died.

So i decided to buy an android tablet so my first idea was the transformer infintity (tf700t) but lately it isn't sold in belgium anymore my dad phoned to a store this is what they said: "we don't sell this tablet anymore because this tablet is no longer made"

so i'll buy a tf300t it's not a big difference but i noticed this: the 32GB model is no longer sold either, the 16gb models are still sold!

can somebody tell me what is going on? is asus preparing for a new tablet? or are there some major flaws?

thanks,

And yes Asus has announced a new Transformer Pad Infinity tablet.

http://www.theverge.com/2013/6/3/43...sformer-pad-infinity-with-2560-x-1600-display

So you shouldn't buy the current Transformer Pad Infinity (TF700) right now because it's outdated

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morky_mf:
so this has been bugging from the moment i got the phone. i cant make google now to work. ive searched all over the internet and no solution. here's what's happening.

everytime i open google now (long press home button/google apk from app drawer) it will just go straight to some screen that i think is the old google search

no cards no anything. If i press the mic, google now works properly and for example if I say weather it will show me the weather card (and if i restart the app the weather card wont be there) or if i say call/text someone it will work. what wont work is the reminders. if i try to set a reminder it will ask me to opt in to google now (even though i already have) and if i tap on opt in it will just take me to the same screen.

on google now settings there is no settings about cards or a way to turn off google now. i got only three options voice, phone search and privacy & accounts. ive done all the settings correct (ticked all the location options on latitude etc, ticked to search on google.com domain, chose us english as language and set home address) and still it wont work.

i already tried to force stop the app and clear cache and data, uninstalled updates and reinstalled, reboted phone and nothing seems to work.

the first time i opened google now it informed me about it and tapped on yes im in and after that it went to that wrong screen (with no cards, no google above the search bar etc).

does anyone have any idea how to fix it?
