[Acer Iconia A500] disfruta:
Hi everyone, I had my iconia 500 a little forgiven and decided it was time to update, I tried with the market app but I was poor coverage and never could download the update to ICS in this way so I downloaded the update.zip of ICS and installed correctly, very fast and smooth.

The fact is that the tablet was heavily loaded with unnecessary apps and not go deleting one to one wanted to make a HARD RESET. I did as explained on the ACERS web to do but I found an error while it was bootloader and stayed there.

NOW is in a loop when it appears on the screen ANDROID. I have the update.zip on the SD.

I tried to PWR + VOL- and successfully reinstall again, or so it seems, but when it restarts to boot and will definitely be back in the LOOP ANDROID and stay there anymore .. turn it off, turn it on and the same.

What I can do?

I installed the drivers for the tablet to the PC but I do not recognize it, or so I think .. or am i wrong ..

Any idea?

thank u so much!!

[HTC One X] tiagoSequeira:
Hey guys. So I was trying to install a stock RUU zip and for that I relocked my bootloader. The thing is I'm not being able to install the RUU zip and the phone is bricked, and I just want to unlock the bootloader again and install a custom rom to have this over with. The other thing is that I have many files in there, I had only 3 gb free of memory, and I don't have a backup of those since my computer broke down and I lost my files. Is there a way to backup my files while the phone is bricked? Or a way to unlock the bootloader without wiping my files?

I hope you have good news for me, I'm getting kinda nervous... Thanks in advance
[HTC One X] matt95:
You phone isn't bricked i bet it.... the real brick for the one X is the APX mode...however could you access recovery? fastboot?
[HTC One X] tiagoSequeira:
I can't access or install recovery. I can access fastboot though. Everytime I boot it it goes into fastboot mode
[HTC One X] matt95:
Is your bootloader unloked?
[HTC One X] tiagoSequeira:
No, it was relocked, therefore it's locked now
[HTC One X] matt95:
That's why you can't flash anything, unlock your bootloader and all your problems will be gone
[HTC One X] tiagoSequeira:
I had that in mind. The problem is that unlocking the bootloader will wipe my phone completely and I wonder if that's a method of unlocking my bl without wiping
[HTC One X] matt95:
There's no way around unfortunately... The only way you can backup is through the command

adb backup

and you can do this only with the phone in recovery or booted up
[HTC One X] tiagoSequeira:
That is terrible, I realy had bad luck this time around... I really didn't want to lose all my photos and music :crying:

Thanks anyway
[HTC One X] matt95:
I don't know any way to backup files through fastboot, sorry

---------- Post added at 08:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

Try to

Fastboot oem rebootRUU

then check if adb recognizes the phone
[HTC One X] bygrave:
on the plus side you will still have a working phone:good:
[HTC One X] tiagoSequeira:
I feel very bad because of this, I'll just try to unlock the bootloader and install a rom on the phone, thanks
[HTC One X] matt95:
Wait, check my post above before
[HTC One X] tiagoSequeira:
I'm still trying to flash the RUU, I always get the error: 12 signature verify fail. Can I solve this?
[HTC One X] matt95:

[HTC One X] tiagoSequeira:
I'll give a try and report later, thank you for being so helpful
[HTC One X] matt95:
Let me know :D
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
You can try to make a backup via the app called Carbon. It does not need root acces or anything.
[HTC One X] tiagoSequeira:
Thanks everybody! I unlocked the bootloader expecting to lose everything I had but in some crazy way everything is fine, my files are untouched, the phone is boot looping but that I know how to fix without a problem. Thanks for spending your time with me, problem solved
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Ah if i recall it right its like this, the very first time you unlock the bootloader

Locked to unlocked

It deletes everything.....when going from

Relocked to unlocked

All is fine as you have experienced now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] freddywhite:
Last night I was charging my S4 in my car adapter, but noticed the cattery was still going down. I went home and plugged it into my AC (wall charger) and went to bed. The next morning the S4 was dead and couldn't charge. The only solution was to plug it in my computer and went an hour for it to get some charge back.

I have a root i337m running rootbox 4.1, and I went into TWRP to wiped the phone and installed the ROM again - no luck.

Is this a battery issue, a software issue or a whole device issue? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Reinaldo33897:
I don't think its a rom issue. I tried charging via USB as well and had phone charging a few hours and it ate crap. So I only charge via AC outlet only. USB charges but at a very slow pace.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] freddywhite:
I made an error in the OP - I meant to say I left it to charge on the wall and I got nothing.

Right now, the charge light doesn't even come on if I plug it with AC.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] r8revealed:
Maybe see the results by changing the charger you're using?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] freddywhite:
I've tried 3-4 different chargers and cables, same issue. Charges slowly through PC,doesn't charge at all with AC. Did a factory reset after reverting to stock FW, no luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] r8revealed:
I doubt it's a ROM issue, but there's no harm in reverting back to stock to see the results (assuming you've backed it up). If it all fails, i think you should unroot and send it to Samsung for the warranty. Software problems are somewhat easier to fix here than hardware, so it may be the best option to let Samsung handle it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] taiwanese:
I had similar problems with my Note 2 before and now with my S4. What I found was, sometimes the usb cable wasn't tightly plugged into the wall charger. Once I've made sure of this, I've been able to charge (AC) every time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] prestonjb:
I found this article that indicates that the S4 is looking for special sauce on the D+D- pins.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/6914/samsung-galaxy-s-4-review/2

Obviously the Galaxy S 4 will charge with any USB charger, but the charge time will simply be longer. Samsung uses a voltage divider and signals the presence of their own charger by sending 1.2-1.3 V across the D+ / D- pins, this is similar to what Apple does with 2.0 or 2.8 V across the pins for various USB chargers they've shipped over the years. This signaling is essentially Samsung's proprietary tablet charging signaling which they've employed on the Galaxy Note 2 and now SGS4, in fact the two use the same exact charger, so it's worth tossing out your old ones and getting the appropriate one to take advantage of the faster charging.

However I do not believe this to be 100% true. I think not all chargers will work..

I took a charger that is very vanilla (Wall charger but the D+D- pins are NC) and it works with the S3 and NEXUS7 but does not work with the S4.

This charger uses a stock USB cable so I took a wall charger that had gone bad but had a dedicated cable and hacked off the end and wired up my own cable...

That works! So it appears that the S4 will only charge properly with certain chargers that do something to the D+D- pins (either shorting them with a resistor like the article indicates

I then took a look at the cable I used to replace. It is a Motorola cable and it has the ID pin pulled high built into the cable... So I suspect that is required for the phone to work... But to fast charge it will need the special sauce indicated above!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Koomoo:
Had the same issue and found the solutions which worked for me. Go into the developer mode and deactivate the usb debug mode.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
Had the exact same issue. I took a soldering iron to my charging port on my phone. Problem solved. The ID pin had a bad joint.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Nomeduras:
I have a strange issue, my s4 is detected by pc, charges normally with usb ( wall or pc charge ) my battery is full but when I take the cable from microUSB port and s4 should work with the battery, turns off and consumes no battery, it's like refusing to use the battery and that it is full! battery checked on a sph l 720

I've tried installing other roms with safestrap but I still have the same problem, refuses to consume battery and while the battery is at 100% ,my s4 shows 0% if I disconnect the usb cable... game over. However, I can be on the safestrap menu for hours only with the battery, no problem, is a problem of rom I think but did not know how to fix it .. : (
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] crazy_dr0id:
I'm having the same issue as the original poster. The USB port is good, charges fine when connected to PC (although much slower because of different mVS). Have tried amidst everything and nothing fixes it. I've turned debugging mode off and back on, restore to backup, complete wipe and reinstall of 2 ROMs with and without apps, fix permissions, different kernels, different USB cables... The adaptor is in good condition. But when plugged in while on my phone doesn't recognize that's it's connected. Previously out would give a false charging reading. If off sometimes I got the grey bar battery but note is just vibrating every few seconds. Idk what to do...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
I'd guess it's the charger. Get a new one
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] vladcalgary:

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] SorAngustias:
I cannot use neither the microphone nor the headphone of the BT800 instead of the PDA for listennig mp3 files or recording notes.

When I use headset mode, I can speak and hear throuhg BT800 and it is possible to use the buttons to answer and hang during a phone calling, but is not possible to dial, see the number and other features.

When I use handsfree mode, I can get most of features but the BT800 microphone does not work and I have to use the one of the PDA.

Any way, only it is possible to use the BT800 in phone mode, not in PDA mode. However it works perfectly whit my IPAQ.

Does anybody know how to solve this problem ??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bbgarnett:
Hey all,

I purchased this 32 GB Class 10 Micro SD card for my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket and well I can't seem to get it to work properly, I can get it formatted and the phone reads it but for the most part anything such as my music that I put on it wont play from the card. only a few of the songs will actually play and everything else just tries to play but it just makes like a screeching noise for like 2 seconds and then either stops or goes to the next song. I have tried the standard music player and also Double Twist as well as Rocket Player and got nothing except for a few on the songs and yet there all mp3's so what could my problem be or is it just a crap card as it's not to my knowledge a name brand. Also I did take some video with the camera and then tried to play it back and it failed said can't play so I am assuming it recorded and saved directly to the Micro SD card. I have formatted it in the phone with android also on my windows PC and then even with Mini tools partition wizard and am just struggling with the fact that it doesn't work or barely works and will play like 5 of the songs but nothing else. Here is a link to what I bought

edit: Guess I can't post outside links yet so it's labeled

New 32GB Micro SD Memory card plus adapter in retail package

Seller ID natemill1850

Thanks,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
Most likely a bad card. There is so much bad memory out there you can't even be sure what you get if you buy at a name brand store.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
There are a lot of fakes and junk cards. He bought one of the junk ones, I agree.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ism_can:
Are you able to play those songs if you put the microSD card in a PC? Are you able to open the videos from the PC? If not I'd say it's a card issue.

I have a Lexar 32GB microSD and never had an issue... I save my pictures, music, recovery backups on it and never had a problem reading them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] autochef:
SD Card issues

Just after purchasing my phone in November 11, I have gone through a few cards. One junk card, one Kingston card, and one Lexar card. I've also tried old smaller cards that I had left over at home and had been using successfully for years. All of them worked fine until they met my Skyrocket. Without fail, shortly after making a few reads or writes (pictures, reading music), I get an SD card error and it won't do a thing. Works fine in any other device. I decided that it was a short or something in my phone and gave up - space isn't really an issue for me anyway. I only became interested again this morning after flashing CM 10.1 and trying again on a lark. I'm going to try it for a while to see if it may have been a GB issue. Anybody else heard of this? I figured I just had a single bad unit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bbgarnett:
Hey,

No only a couple of the songs work on the PC from the card which are the sames ones that play on the phone otherwise all the other ones don't work. Anyways The guy who I bought it from just said it is probably a bad card but told me to keep it and he gave me a full refund and told me to not deal with the hassle of returning and paying to return it etc as he didn't have anymore in stock. So I just find it weird that like 3 or 4 of the songs will play like normal but nothing else will.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
Low level format the card, stick it in ur phone and format it, then copy 8-10 songs on there and try to play them.

If that doesn't work like others said u probably bought a melon
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] medmansri:
Just wanted to say I've been frustrated with this exact problem. I thought it was my phone's fault, but realized its the micro sd. So far I've tried two Samsung branded 32GB class 10 cards and they are both causing this issue, even in a second Skyrocket phone.

I'm moving on to a different brand with high hopes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
I only use class 10 Samsung sd cards and they are great. You probably got fakes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] medmansri:
One was from Newegg and the other from Bestbuy, certainly hope they weren't fake from those stores.

Ordered an Adata and will see how that is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] djplaya140:
I had similar issues. I recently went through several sandisk cards, 16 and 32 gb. Both purchase from different walmart stores. I knew it wasn't an issue with my phone because my old card worked fine. Went to bestbuy and bought a PNY 32gb and works flawlessly. Sandisk seems to have issues with galaxy phones in my experience.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] medmansri:
I need some input. The Adata card is giving me the same issues(failing to backup in twrp, camera glitches) It's a 32GB class 10 sdhc UHS-I. I wonder if its the speed of the card or the type. I'll attach a pic of the card.

What could be causing the problem? Is it the UHS-1 spec?

Edit: After some digging, looks like it's due to the UHS. great...

Hi Guys,

I have N7100 running the latest Slim Bean ROM (AOSP)

tried almost every call recorder but couldn't find a working one..

Can anyone point me to some kind of patch or an App that will record all my calls?

tnx
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Televinken:
It must be the shady ROM you're using, that is the culprit. On stock ROM, loads of recorders work great.

What REALLY sux, is the fact that it's impossible to record both ends, when you're using a BT headset.

I've tried every possible setup, with every recording app around, I'm rooted, enabled recording in ROM.

Nothing helps. Is this 2013 or is it 1995? Even the good doctor Ketan stands speechless! Grrrrrr.....

A nice recording app is the "Call Recorder" Link An even better one for our phones is "Total Recall" Link
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d-edge:
doesnt work.

This really do sucks, but i'm using Slim Bean and not shady..

I used to have Alliance ROM and recording indeed was great, but the ROM became too slow after a while, so I decided to move to AOSP.

now everything works flawlessly including high DPI and lockscreen camera app, but the call recording is not working with none of the apps in the market. Incl. the ones you stated.

any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Are you using stock ROM, & latest 4.1.2 build?

Doesn't work.. tried that but it only enables the "record button" that comes with the stock 4.1.2 ROM, As I said i'm on an AOSP 4.2.2 one..

Thanks everyone for trying to help,

will appreciate more help if available.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Televinken:
Well, I have now tested once again, and as expected, it only records the far side of the conversation.

I wonder what could possibly differ between our settings? You're, in fact, the only user ever, to report

that call recording works with BT headset on our phones. This is really strange and very frustrating.

Unless you're using a BT headset. Then the record button is greyed out.

I've come to the conclusion that this simple task is impossible to achieve.
