[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilming263:
Hi,

I woke up to find my note2 stuck on the samsung logo, so i went to the recovery menu and cleared the cache. When I went to restart the phone, it wont start up.

1) Nothing appears on the phone

2) When i press the power button, the red light on top flashes but thats it

3) it doesnt go to recovery mode with the power, vol+

4) it doesnt go to download mode with the power, vol-

5) Battery should be fully charged, when plug into the phone and the wall, nothing happens even when i left it there for half a day.

6) Switched out with friends battery and nothing happens as well.

7) Plug into PC Mac, multiple computers, nothing happens on the phone or computer. Nothing is detected on that usb port.

Anyone know what I can do to try and fix this before I send it to a repair shop?

Thanks

Which firmware version was there?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilming263:
Sorry man, I have no idea. I rooted the phone when i first got it and i haven't change/update anything since then. Got the phone around December 2012 in Hong Kong.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitol:
In switched off condition, if it takes charge then it must be go to DOWNLOAD MODE (home+power+vol.down). Then restock through odin or use 'mskip toolkit'

Did Ouya play store take emulators down? I was thinking about buying one but may not of this is the case. I know you can sideload but..
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toidimaet:
Not that I can see, also there are plenty of free emulators on the ouya store that run every bit as good as other 'paid' emulators.

The exception in my findings is that epsxe for android is far superior to other playstation emulators on the platform (also they support ouya out of the box).

Robert Broglia is the name to remember with emulators at the mooment.

Mupen64 is good but if you can find a 2.7 version of n64oid, it works even better for n64 games..

Retroarch android has many of these emulators built into the system and it is open source and free.

[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
I dunno. I paid for several of them. I was playing my GBA emulator of Final Fantasy 5 last night. All of my Emulators were on there. Actually they just updated the "Stock" NES/SNES/Atari Emu (it's weird though)

Ouya plays roms like a champ! The GBA emulator works flawlessly as does all the SNES roms I've tried. The SNES emulator is very jazzy and grabs all of the cover art automatically. I haven't used the "stock" version because you have to throw everything into a "Roms" file on the internal storage I think. I like my roms separated by console.

fixed

This is How I fixed mine..

I search several forum and and no one has the complete tutorial on how to use adb..

so I created my own step by step tutorial on how I did it just in case I need it again or someone needs it...

I hope this fixed yours as well..

Download ADB here: http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html

1. extract the file you just download

2. put it in C: (so you can access it easily)

3. you can rename it (you can name it anything you want but we will use "Android-adb" in this tutorial)

4. open SDK Manager.exe

5. make sure that Android SDK tools, Android SDK Platform-tools, Android SDK Build-tools and Google USB Driver is installed

6. Boot your device to recovery mode (hold volume up + power) hold it until it is turned on

7. connect your device through usb to PC (it should automatically install your usb driver if not download samsung usb driver)

8. go to CMD

9.type cd c:\Android-adb\sdk\platform-tools

or

9.1 press windows + pause/break

9.2 click Advance tab

9.3 click Environment Variables

9.4 search "path" under System variable

9.5 click edit (there is a value for Variable value in default)

9.6 at the end of the default value add this ;C:\Android-adb\sdk\platform-tools

9.7 click ok

10.

type this

adb

adb shell

shell@edison:/ $ su

adb shell /system/lib/cf3d_uninstall.sh

11. your device will reboot...after that it should be fine...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] arniebirdy:
Hello. Hope this helps.

I flashed my german MDA C with the imate ROM. Everything worked fine, except the connection with GPRS.

For example, when I connected to the Internet (I use the german Vodafone Provider), the connection was stable. But only for this one connection.

When I disconnected pressing the red button longer than 2 seconds, I never was able to get a new connection (Error Message, that no connection could be made by unknown causes). The only way to get out of this mess, was a Soft-Reset.

Another problem was: When receiving an MMS, there was no way to get a connection to the Internet after that (Error Message, that no connection could be made by unknown causes). Only way to get out of this, was to make another Soft-Reset.

I did the following:

Start-->Programs--> Wireless Modem-->Tools-->Options

I unchecked the "Preset GPRS Connection" (it was checked by default).

Since then.....everything works as it should :)

Ok, the GPRS Connection doesnt disconnect automatically after using it, but it re-connects after using the "Red-Button-Workaround".

Hope, I can help with this.

Greetings from Cologne,

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] PapaDocta:
thanks man i will try it i have been having problems with my gprs connection..... another thing what is "Red-Button-Workaround" ?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] arniebirdy:
Hi.

The Jam, can't disconnect automatically.

With the "workaround" I meant, that you can disconnect GPRS connection by pressing the red button about two seconds.

Hope this helps.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cynflux:
Hello,

I am having problems rooting my Samsung Epic 4G Touch (android version 2.3.6). About 3 months ago, I was able to root using Gingerbreak. I had to do a factory reset because the phone was acting strange. I am not able to root via usb cable, as the usb port stopped working a long time ago. This is the second samsung phone I have had this issue with. I have had to use an external charger to charge my phone battery. Are there are other options to root my Samsung Epic 4G Touch via wifi, bluetooth, etc? I will not be able to upgrade to a new Sprint phone till October 2013. Can anyone recommend a decent sprint phone that can rooted? I was considering the Samsung Galaxy S4 or the Galaxy Note 2. I would appreciate any advice. Thank you in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
Look for an app here on XDA called Exynosabuse
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cynflux:
Thank you for the suggestion.

The app does not work for my device, however.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
It should work... Our device has the exynos processor. You should have no issues

---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------

Actually, I know for a fact that the Epic 4g touch is compatible and the app works. I have used it and tested multiple versions of it on the device. It just won't work on JB. But earlier versions of Android before FL24 ICS, will work.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
There is something wrong then... Try installing super SU from the market and grab you a busy box installer from there as well. I have had a similar issue with my Nexus 7. You may still have root, but nothing to assign permissions or to handle it correctly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cynflux:
I installed super su and busy box installer. Busy box installer does not install.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cynflux:
Any other suggestions? I can't upgrade to android 4.0.4 either. I get an android icon with a caution symbol above it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cynflux:
Apparently, there are 2 different types of resets. I have not tried the factory data reset yet. I have only done the hard reset.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cynflux:
Factory data reset did not work restore to previous android OS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
You need to get your port fixed... Look up mobiletechvideos on google.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dypraxxx:
Yeah, it's odd how the exynosabuse exploit didn't work.

I would suggest mobile ODIN to flash the latest TROM buuuuut, that requires root. :/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jwhyte:
The exynos abuse apk works with stock ics only. It was a flaw/security risk in the first ics release that allowed it to work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
I don't think so... Because it works on many devices with the Exynos processor. Some of them were on 4.1 before it was patched.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jwhyte:
That's odd then. I'm on uscc same phone and the only stock we could use it on was fk19 our first ics they patched it in the next ics update

Just get the port fix it wont cost more than 50 better than buying another phone

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] iflip:
They seem to be pretty similar in specs but are slightly different in size. Would there have to be resizing involved? I've read in the sgs4 forums that it actually isn't aosp, that it's Samsung framework without the bloat and extra optimizations from tw. I'm curious to know if this could ever work for us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
It could work, just as there were ports from other devices for the S3, but its doubtful because it would take a hell of a lot of bug fixing and its still way too soon to be asking.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bielinsk:
I did a backup of all my apps when I was running Goodness before I switched to Cyanogen. Only reason I didn't switch earlier is I liked that my car would receive my text messages on the screen, and also pull in my contacts photos.

After I installed and configured Cyanogen 10.1 RC 5 I was restoring my apps and decided to restore an app called MAPServiceSamsung 4.1.2-L710VPBMD4.

In the past in my car with Cyan, I didn't have an option for messages. Now I do. And sometimes, they show up. Its a little buggy, but partially working.

I am wondering if we could get the 4.2.2 version of this file from another S3, maybe the international version that would work.

Thoughts?

I've looked everywhere but I can't find the answer to this. I have an at&t Samsung galaxy s3 sgh 1747 on 4.1.1, I rooted it with odin. After I rooted it I backed up with Titanium backup and then I backed up with clockworkmod recovery. After all this I installed cyanogenmod 10.1 so it is now on 4.2.2. but when go went to titanium backup it says I have no backups so I went to clockworkmod to restore to my backup but I get an

MD5 mismatch error everytime. I have found how to fix the error but I cant find where the backups are saved. I have looked in clockworkmod/backup in my extsd and internal, and I looked in data/media/clockworkmod/backup but it wasn't there. I have also looked in almost every folder on my phone. So my question is, where are my clockworkmod backups?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] post-mortem:
What gave you the MD5 mismatch? Do you have any CWM backups at all?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BYOBret:
After installing CM10.1, did you check your internal storage for the emulated "0" folder? I've read that this happens when going from stock to CM based ROMs. Maybe thats why TiBu can't find your backups.

If ^^ don't work, try DiskUsage in the Play Store. If they're full backups, they should occupy quite a lot of size.

I would like to change the housing on my i747M S3, not that there is anything wrong with it, except a few scratches, I just like the garnet red better and I have another 2 years left on my contract.

A couple of questions about the housings sold on eBay...

1) Are the housings for the i747 and the i9300 the same, or do I need a specific housing for the i747? There are more choices for the i9300, so I was just curious.

2) What is the glass surface like on these non-Samsung (I believe) screens? Is there an oleophobic coating like on the original screens?

3) I know people have changed their screens successfully, but how much of a chance is there of me screwing up the digitizer? I am good with my hands and mechanically inclined, so my abilities are not an issue.

Thanks for the info,

Ian
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] danvee:
1. No. Not the same. The interiors are different to accommodate different boards.

2. The non Samsung ones that I've seen are just regular, not even Gorilla, glass.

3. If I were a betting person, I'd say odds are about 25% that you'd either overheat, scratch, or crack it.

Others will jump in, I'm sure... :thumbup:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gypsy214:
Housing are the same in All S3. Now if you wanted to change the moderboard is another story. The moderboard of the internarional s3 is different than the s3 here in the US due to the quad cored chip and dual cored

▂▃▅▆█ ★ ★ [APP] ★ ★ █▆▅▃▂ ▄▀ ★ ★ NEW Google Maps 7.0 ★ ★ ▀▄

Update 'rolling out to Android 4.0.3+ users over the next few weeks,' according to Play Store listing

A little under two months ago at Google I/O, Google offered a preview of the next version of Maps for Android. Stand-out features included a completely revamped UI, with a search bar front and center, together with smoother visuals, a re-tooled Zagat experience and Google Offers support.

Today it seems the new version of Maps — ver. 7.0 to be precise — has started to push to some users though Google Play. If you're not seeing it yet, you're not alone. None of our devices are seeing the update, and the "what's new" entry for the app suggests it could be weeks before many get access to the new Maps — "This update will be gradually rolling out to Android 4.0.3+ users over the next few weeks."

Google also highlights a re-worked UI for Android phones and tablets, including a new tablet UI with less chrome and clutter, and a greater focus on the actual map. There's also enhanced navigation including "live traffic updates, incident reports and dynamic rerouting," and a new "explore" section showing shops, restaurants, hotels and other attractions nearby.

Google's transitioning certain features away from Maps, and as such check-ins and Latitude support are absent in the new version (the company's blog post says it'll be retired altogether from Aug. 9). "My Maps" support is also absent for the moment, as is offline map caching, at least as officially — you can still cache areas of the map by typing "OK Maps" in the search box, in a sort of Easter egg.

As always, the version of Google Maps available to you will vary based on your device and which version of Android you're running. If you're on 4.0.3 or above, hit the Google Play Store to see if your update is ready, and let us know if in the comments if you manage to pick it up.
