[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YRAJ23:
I installed new kernel, and have no sound from S3 back speakers(next to camera). Then I reverted all back to stock rom and kernel, but still no sound.

If I place my phone near to my ear - seems sound us still working but with tiny volume. In headphones - sound working fine and front speaker working well when i answer calls.

I already did full wipe, format and stock again but with no effect. I'm very sure my phone is not in silent mode, all volumes are opened to maximum. I searched at other threads but no solution was reported.

Anyone had encountered this situation before and can anyone help me please?? :(

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fortyseven203:
Hey guys, I just bought a replacement Epic Touch 4G off of eBay after my old one ate itself.

I spent about 9 hours screwing around with the thing, and eventually was able to get voice and eventually 3G working. The MSL code was different from the one the (very frustrated) Sprint customer rep expected (only found this out afterward, using the getprop trick in the shell), which was interesting.

Anyway, I've been on an interesting journey with this thing. I'm completely comfortable with hard technical stuff, but the behind the scenes goings on behind cell phones is outside my usual domain. However, most of the kinks I was experiencing initially, seem to be smoothed out now.

But one thing is still killing me. My signal has been positively abysmal. I was having trouble updating the PRL the official way, so I learned how to use QPST to do it. At first, I threw a corporate PRL in there. No change. Then I changed to 25014 (the latest?), but still extremely poor performance. Additionally, most of the time, data is connecting at 1x. Once in a while I'll see 3G connect, but it's rare.

I'm looking for any suggestions on what to tweak, or -- better -- for a list of expected values for the #-code screens, so I can ensure they're correct. I'm not sure who had this phone originally, or what they did to it.

Much thanks, and if there's anything I can add to this to help, let me know!

Keep screen on when connected to power & playing music, and an easy way to skip song?

When in the car listening to music (stock app, purple icon with white musical note in circle), and connected to power, I'd like to have the screen stay on and not time out. I want to do this for this particular app, and nothing else (at this time).

I went into the settings but cannot find anything that will allow this in conjuction with the music app. Am I missing something?

On a similar note...does the screen stay on when using the Maps app as a navigation device

I guess I can use "Screen On", by Konstantinos Polychronis, but figured maybe there was something built-in that I missed.

I'd also like to find something similar to what Apple has where when playing music all I had to do was shake the phone and it would skip to the next song.

The "Screen On" would be used for when mounted to a windshield mount, and the "shake" would be for when the phone sits on the console next to my seat.
[LG Optimus G Pro] vinniemac84:
idk about the shake thing, but i know under the development settings u can turn on stay awake when plugged in. if u leave it hooked to ur car charger then it will stay on always unless u turn the screen off. screen still dims tho, just not off. as for the gps yeah if i remember right the screen stays on at all times but still dims as long as its the app on screen, doesnt do it if its just running in the background i believe. i dont use the gps without the charger much cuz i only use it on long drives and dont want a dead phone from gps, screen, and bluetooth all running (use my phone for my music in my car)
[LG Optimus G Pro] andygold:
Don't think that will work for me. I'd like to have the screen stay on, and bright, while listening to music while plugged into power.
[LG Optimus G Pro] vinniemac84:
If the gps app is the front app then it lights up when its coming up on a turn or any kind of new directions so u don't miss it. I havent seen any apps but I know u can just turn off the screen timeout and ur just have to remember to set it back to whatever ur normal timeout is
[LG Optimus G Pro] CapnPez:
Have you tried any automation apps like Tasker or Llama? Llama is free and can do a lot while Tasker is a bit more pricy (you can get a trial version of it if you want to try it for free), but it has a crazy amount of things you can do, including making widgets and standalone apps. I used Llama for quite some time, but then decided to get Tasker and haven't looked back. Both are great apps and take a little time getting used to (Tasker specifically is a bit more cumbersome if you are new to it).

I'm not sure about Llama, but I know Tasker can detect shake and gesture events. You could use that to trigger your skip track action. I would be happy to help if you aren't sure how to do something, but there's plenty of documentation on both these (and I'm sure other apps could do this as well).
[LG Optimus G Pro] raduque:
PowerAMP has this exact feature, and is far superior to any stock music app. Well worth the price.
[LG Optimus G Pro] andygold:
Just downloader the PowerAMP trial. Seems to be very complete and highly rated.:good:

I may try Llama or Tasker to get the shake function. Still trying to decide whether to windshield mount or just lay it on the console. If I go windshield, shake feature will not be needed.

Thanks!
[LG Optimus G Pro] raduque:
I would go with a mount that keeps it in your LoS. Picking up the phone and manipulating it while driving is dangerous.

I have a custom-built mount bolted to my dashboard just to the right of my steering wheel. It puts the phone almost, but not quite in my peripheral vision, and my right hand only has to move about 4 inches from the wheel to the screen to change tracks or answer calls hands-free.
[LG Optimus G Pro] andygold:
Pictures????

I ended up using jetAudio Basic, as Poweramp would not keep the screen on. Didn't make a difference how I had it set. The app was on but the screen was dimmed. Jetaudio kept the screen on bright, and also allows shake-to-shuffle to change tracks, which I also wanted.
[LG Optimus G Pro] raduque:
That's odd about PowerAMP letting the screen dim. Mine never does, not on any phone I've used it on, see sig.

The mount, it's holding my old 4G Slide in this pic, this was back when I first put it in.
[LG Optimus G Pro] cproaudio:
Hmm, Settings>Developers Options>Stay Awake (Screen will never time out while charging) option doesn't work?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Malong:
Hey everyone! :)

A week ago i bought a SanDisk MicroSDHC Ultra UHS-I - 32GB and installed it on my SGS4. It started right away telling me there was a problem. It said that the "SD card had been removed unexpectedly". It was installed right and I couldn't really move it around. After it was installed my phone began to become

REALLY

hot over the area where the SD card is and started to loose power just as fast. I have an old 8GB Samsung cad and it was in the phone before with no problem. No i can't use that card either as it also starts to overheat and even with no SD card in my phone i can't even get 10 hours of battery time on my phone. Even with little use.

Is there a fix for this or do i need to send my pride and joy in for repair??

Thanks in advance. Jakob :)

PS: Please tell me if you need more info about what happened.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichelN:
No issues here, phone is idle for almost 2 days now with a 16 GB SD card mounted

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Malong:
I can't show you the error message as i don't have that card any more- I send it back and waiting for a new one. Thought my problem was with the card only....

The phone gets hot every time I use it. But REALLY hot if the SD card is in. By battery analysis do you mean under the settings menu or is there an app that can do that? (sorry for the dumb question)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Malong:
Okay. Took a screen cap of the battery setting. I have now turned off all goggle "places" thing and i hope that will give me some battery life.

Anyway i can test the battery and see if it's okay? :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilabs:
I have the exact same card and have no issues. Try to format the card from the phone itself first before using.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Malong:
Tried that. Didn't work. Although i haven't tried it with the old Samsung card. Gonna give that a go! :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
It sounds like the card is faulty. Try using phone for a day with no SD card in it and it should be fine hopefully
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Malong:
That's what i have been doing, and it still gets hot and can't hole battery life. I am trying the formatted SD card (Samsung 8 GB) right now to see if it helps! :) Thanks thought!!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilabs:
Which firmware is your phone currently running? I think the newer firmwares fixed the overheating issue due to memory cards.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Malong:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Malong:
Thanks! Still crossing my fingers this was it. I still need to have a look at the battery. But right now it lasts a lot longer and it doesn't get hot any more! :D

This document shows how solve problem "cannot connect to the camera" after ROOT Huawei G510-0010 with B165 boot.img.

1 - Requeriments:

- Download Google adb-toolkit - http://www.adbtoolkit.com/

- Download boot.img, better if you use same version of your firmware (mine is B182)

You can find firmware version on Settings -> About Phone

http://www.toplinetec.com.br/pub/other/boot_g510_B182.zip

2 - Connection with PC

- Install ADB drivers for your device on PC.

- On device, disable Settings -> Fast Boot

- Turn off device, wait some seconds, turn on again pushing volume down and start button for 10 seconds and connect to USB.

- Unzip files to C:\, go Windows Prompt (CMD), and follow next commands:

- cd\adb-toolkit\bin\files

- fastboot devices (if return a code in next line, is because your device is connected)

- fastboot flash boot c:\boot.img

- fastboot reboot

The whole process should look something like this in your CMD:

Issue on Install Boot

Hi, thanks for your post.

i followed all steps, but, when i install the boot.img to my device it returns me this:

sending 'boot': OK

writing 'boot': Failed (remote: command not allowed)

Do you know, by chance, why is it failing?

Thank you very mutch.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] shalonbr:
re: Issue on Install Boot

I don't know exactly, but did you ulnlock boot loader before ?

Is a good option to start.

Follow these steps:

1 - See entire model behind phone battery: G510- (0010, 0100 or 0200).

2 - Request unlock code for Huawei

huaweidevice.com/worldwide/servicePolicy.do?method=toApplyUnlock

If you phone is 0010, you'll need to find chinese site for this.

3 - Apply code

huaweidevice.com/worldwide/servicePolicy.do?method=getUnlockStep

PS: put www before links, because I can't post.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MosKRt:
Solved

Hi again!

Yes you was right, the problem was that i didnt unlock the boot loader. I found some problems for do that.

The problem was that they don't have the 0010 model listed in their site and, a chinese site for ask it dosen't exists (I've gone crazy looking for it :crying: :crying:)

I had to send an email directly to Huawei support channel whit the mobile data (IMEI, S/N, model, ...). They answered me in 48h more or less with the unlock code.

And after that all was perfect. :highfive: :highfive:

[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] kolevbg:
First let me say I *did* try to find information before posting here. Truly.

I have a 2nd generation Kindle Fire, which keeps on looping at the stock "kindle fire" screen.

I do not know how it got into that state, this is how I got it.

Here is the setup:

1) Device is certainly kindle fire 2

2) I am running on WIndows Vista, but I can change to other Windows or Linux if necessary

3) I have a factory cable which allows me to boot into FastBoot; it is definitely the original Amazon FastBoot and not a replacement/dual boot

4) The Kindle battery is clearly low as it simply can't charge it enough. Once it charges enough it reboots, shows the "Kindle fire" logo for 2 seconds, never runs the wave through it, then shuts off and restarts again.

I could not get it to charge more than that, but I do not think this is a hardware/battery problem; I have long experience with electronics and just trust my guts here.

5) Booting into FastBoot with factory cable is OK however fastboot.exe does NOT see the device as listed. Neither does ADB.

6) Windows reports the device as "Kindle Fire" and even though FastBoot does not see it in "fastboot devices" it can still send commands to it

7) Cleaning the user data and the cache was the only thing I tried; they took a lot of time to complete (1 and 3 minutes respectively whereas articles mention 20-30 seconds), but that didn't change anything

I guess what I am trying at this stage is to re-flash the system/bootloader partitions with stock ones in hope that will allow the device to boot successfuly.

Can I do that?

Or what else can I do?

Thank you for all you do!
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] mindmajick:
The main thing that I think you have wrong is this-

There is no original Amazon fast boot cable. The fastboot cable is a special cable you either buy or build NOT something Amazon gives you.

Once you are sure you have a real fast boot cable u SHOULD be able to recover fine.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] kolevbg:
I do not think I've said I have an "original Amazon fastboot cable".

I made the cable myself and i must say it isn't a rocket science to do one if you're in electronics.

Apparently it works since it allows me to get into fastboot mode and clear cache and user data.

If there's something that may not be correct it would instead be on the driver side.

I had a hard time finding a set of drivers that would make the device recognizable.

Now the question I have is can someone who knows how to flash Android partitions, let me know if I can and how can I re-flash the partitions of this KF2?

Specifically where to find partition images and are they safe to flash or are they unique for each device out there (i.e. bound to some other unique ID of the device) or the same for the whole class of devices, e.g. all KF2 devices would have same binary partition images which can be flashed?

Supposedly and hopefully the second, but if it were so simple then restoring a Kindle to factory default state should be piece of cake and it doesn't sound like it is.

I must be missing several things.

But the cable sure isn't one of them.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Just to clarify...

Are you no longer dealing with a low battery?
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] kolevbg:
Nothing has changed in regards to the low battery.

I do not the logic of its charging, but it shows the low battery battery symbol when unit is not connected.

When connected with normal cable it charges for some time (orange LED) then starts the ever-looping process during which it seems to discharge just as much as it manages to charge; I can't get it in a stable "power off" condition to just charge.

I do have means of securing a charged battery to see if it will make a difference. I do not think it will unless there is a piece of memory in the battery block itself (like with the PSPs) and that one got corrupt.

I am betting against this because unit can clearly boot in fastboot mode.

I have no idea why wouldn't it show in neither fastboot devices nor adb list though.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
We can deal with the connection issue later. Right now, you need to get your device charged. The best way to do that, is plug it in to a power source, and hold the power button until it shuts down. If it powers down and stays off, leave it plugged in for a few hours. That should take care of the charging problem.

Also, 'fastboot devices' doesn't work, so if you're expecting to get a response from it, you'll be waiting a long time. Instead, issue 'fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product', then plug your device (still powered down) into the computer and let it boot on it's own. If your drivers are working properly, you should see the word "kindle" show up in the command prompt after a few seconds. Otherwise, it will just sit at "waiting for device" and do nothing. Then you'll need to either fix your drivers or try alternative methods (Linux).

[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] kolevbg:
Yes I was talking about the fastboot and not the cable.

But I agree I could have said it better.

In threads I read people always ask which fastboot is installed so I focused on answering that.

Can the Kindle charge *without* the orange LED being on indicating charge?

I think I can't get this particular device charge its battery, but as I indicated I have means of securing a charged battery (for the record, by simply charging it on a working device).

Will try the suggested 'fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product' when I get back in town Sunday and report.

Can you guys please clarify if flashing back stock partitions can be done without superuser rights, i.e. hacking?

My understanding is that it is not possible for all partitions.

And that to make it possible I need ADB in orderto implement a hack and get su rights.

Is that correct?
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
1) Yes, the device can (and does) in fact charge from a powered off state with no LED.

2) You can flash stock partitions back to the device without root in fastboot mode.

3) This (fastboot) is available for each of the partitions you need to restore (system, recovery, boot), and there should be no reason to use ADB to restore your partition images.

Also, to answer your previous questions...

There is nothing "safe" about flashing a bootloader, especially on the 2nd generation devices. A sudden power surge, sudden loss of power, Blue Screen of Death, accidentally unplugging the usb cable at the wrong time, flashing the wrong image, flashing an image that has been corrupted, or flashing the wrong image entirely, will absolutely brick your device...permanently. Make sure you pay attention, be careful...and it probably wouldn't hurt to hold your breath.

And as long as you have stock partition images for your build (KF2, KFHD7, KFHD8.9) they will work on your device. There is no user specific digital signatures for the partitions, and each partition will have the same digital signature as the other partitions for the same build. Just be sure and check the md5sum to confirm your downloads haven't been corrupted.

'fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product' returns

product: Otter2-Prod-04

finished. total time: 0.017s

'fastboot devices'

still doesn't return anything.

What is the recommended course of action?

Should I try to reflash with the files from mindmajick or should I try to burn and learn linux until I get 'fastboot devices' to actually return usable information?

Also I do understand the concept of "not being such a thing as a safe flashing".

I also understand how it is even more difficult in systems which at hardware level prevent booting from partitions with invalid header chechsum even though I am not familiar where the header stays and what other information it contains. It's better, but not really required to know the in-depth details to understand the concept.

At the end of the day, though, flashing is the only option and it seems a big part of fastboot's functionality is to provide it.

And if I brick a device because a cable moved or battery died that's OK.

What I don't want to brick device for is doing something I do not quite understand , e.g. not following proper order of flashing (if one exists) or flashing improper image and other actions that can make me feel stupid.

Loose cables, power surges, children and pets...are part of life you just have to take as it comes :)
