Question: It seems that every time that I put a put a boot animation in my phone, either manually, flash in recovery or via ROM Toolbox I get all kinds of bugs or quirks with my phone, such as freeze-ups, reboots or my screen will not recognize touches any longer. In the end, this ends up with a battery pull, reboot into recovery and then a nandroid restore to fix the problem. Anyone know what may be causing this :confused:? I am running Wicked Sensations MK3 v0.2 on my Sprint GS3. Furthermore, I even tried installing the Anakonda boot animation posted earlier with issues too, which is surprising because it is the same boot as my "stock" Wicked boot other than being green instead of blue. Help!!! :crying: ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] calebsb:
Can't say what's causing that problem for you. Not all phones are the same and some things that work for some people won't work for others. You could try a dirty flash of the rom to restore the original boot animation since that worked for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] porkyhontas:
Yeah, just ended up restoring from a nandroid backup. I'll play around with some other boot animations later. Funny thing is that I didn't have boot animation problems on v5.0 Wicked. I don't know??? But I will keep a nandroid handy while I experiment.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] calebsb:
Have you tried WS v 3? boot ani might work for you on that version
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tomcat1974@aol.com:
Im using MOAR rom and the boot animations locks my phone into a looping reboot. Occasionally the animation will play but rarely.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] calebsb:
Which boot ani? Also what kernel are you using?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tomcat1974@aol.com:
i tried the star trek ani and the transformers ani (seeeing as it was alot smaller).

As far as kernel im kinda noobish but i used the MOAR rom 6.0 with the nova launcher. Cant say which kernel exactly. i use philz revovery 6.0 as well
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] calebsb:
Open settings/about phone and check in there. It'll tell you which kernel you are on. Also which android build you're on. Find those out and let me know. I'll help you get this working one way or another
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tomcat1974@aol.com:
kernel version

3.0.31-1130792

se.infra@sep-132 #2

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] calebsb:
Ok are you on MOAR md4?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tomcat1974@aol.com:
yes

and thanks for your patience BTW
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] calebsb:
For sure. No problem. Ok this will be easy. Go into recovery and flash the rom again. When the aroma installer starts up choose change kernel only. Pick freezas optimized and reboot. When it boots up let me know if you see the animation. If not we'll go from there
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tomcat1974@aol.com:
which launcher would you suggest? im looking for the most access/customization/compatibility possible

apex

TW 5x5

Smart

Nova

AOSP

Solo Stock TW
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] calebsb:
Those don't have anything to do with the boot animation. Did you install the kernel?

I use tw but a lot of people like Nova and apex
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tomcat1974@aol.com:
ok. i rebooted 5 times. 3 of the times it worked well and 2 of the times it bootlooped once.....meaning after the samsung logo came on it vibrated and showed the samsung logos again then to the animation. is this common?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] calebsb:
Yeah that happens with 6.0. There is an update for MOAR. It's mk3 4.3. It has a new thread in Android Developement. Give it a try
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tomcat1974@aol.com:
i will and thank you for your step by step help. ill thank all your responses. :cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tomcat1974@aol.com:
would it be possible to make an ani that flips/rotates between these 2 transformers G1 symbols - minus the backgrounds? totally black background would be preferable. I would gladly donate for this.

oh and thanks for the advice earlier to go to v7 moar.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] calebsb:
Sorry. I'm currently working on up in smoke for wicked sensations. It's taking up all my free time at the moment. But all you'd have to do is make 20 copies of each png and run it thru the bootanimation factory program. It's not that difficult. All links are in the op
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vwags:
Hey all. I have been playing with some different boot animations and my daughter asked if I could make one for her. I tried and did something wrong. I used the info here and tested with Boot Animation Factory and it worked properly but when I install it my phone wont boot and it freezes with a black screen. I have to pull the battery and restore my backup. Could someone take a look and see what I did wrong? I installed it the same way that I used them from the OP and I did set permissions to rw-r-r.

Thanks

https://www.dropbox.com/s/abuwsw2kmqwxml5/Superman2.zip
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] calebsb:
Looking at your zip I can see that the pngs are named superman. What you need to do is create the boot animation with boot animation factory. It will rename the pngs to 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 etc. Also try using only one part i.e. part0 folder and put all the pngs in there. Open the factory and select create new boot a Window will open. Navigate to part0 and select it within that Window. Then click create loop a Window will open click on part0 and type in 15. That will give you 15 loops for part0 then click create zip. Name it bootanimation when it's done navigate to where the program place the zip file and move it to system/media, place in there and fix permissions. It should work
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vwags:
I tried again using Boot Animation Factory and only using part0. This time it did not freeze but only showed a black screen as if there was nothing there. I renamed the original bootanimation as .bak instead of .zip and left it in /system/media. Is that a problem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] calebsb:
That's ok naming it .bak it shouldn't mess with anything. When I get home later I'll make it and post it up for you to try out. A buddy of mine was having the same problem making these. Maybe I can figure out why is not working for ya
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vwags:
That would be awsome of you. Thanks. My goal was for it to progress through the pictures and for it to stay on the last one of him flying straight up until boot up finshed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] calebsb:
Oh. To do that you'll need to make at least a hundred pngs of just that and probably a hundred more of the other ones with no loop so it will run consecutively from beginning to end. So if you can make all those and post a zip file of them I'll put it together
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vwags:
So you want 100 .png's of the final picture? Can I just copy them? What should I name them? I would be happy to do it but since this is my first time trying this sort of thing I don't fully understand what you need.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] calebsb:
Yep name them 1 thru 100
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vwags:
1.png

2.png

3.png

etc?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] calebsb:
Shouldn't have to type png. But yeah
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vwags:
Here is the final picture 100 times numbered 1.png through 100.png

Is there anything else I can do to help?

Thanks again

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] calebsb:
Ok. i ended up having to do two folders. I used about 50 png's in part 1 anyway is working on my phone. Give it a try http://www.mediafire.com/?1snq8x74mfwisjw
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vwags:
I put it on my phone and it boots up but no animation. It shows the Samsung screen then goes black then the lock screen. The original boot animation from my Rom which is The Peoples Rom works and when I changed it with Rom Toolbox it works as well as when I pushed an animation to /system/media it worked.

Any thoughts or am I out of luck on this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] calebsb:
You renamed it to bootanimation.zip ? Try using one of my other ones to narrow it down some. If they don't work for you then it's the phone. If they do maybe it's the png formatting that's off. Remember all phones behave slightly different. It could be you're out if luck :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] calebsb:
Here try this one http://www.mediafire.com/?vj1wd1ccwt8zr53

I put it in a flashable. I had a buddy try it out and it's working on his phone. Just flash the zip in recovery. Actually completely remove the original one first
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vwags:
So I downloaded the flashable zip you made and realized I did something wrong the first time installing this one. I tried again and it worked. Thanks again. Did you see what I did wrong so I can learn and do it right next time?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] calebsb:
Sorry. I wasn't there. I have no idea what you did. I did notice as I said before that the pngs weren't named correctly and there was only one in the part 1 folder.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoJo ^^:
Hello, phones already, let's set clearly , very hot when you use it normally while charging (~45C° NOW in summer) then when playing , app report about 50C but it feels like much more... Those sorry of exploding galaxys are worrying me. What do you think?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Constantly running the phone @ high temperatures will probably shorten the life of the battery a bit, how much is hard to say. Does it shorten the life of the CPU or other components ? Maybe. But lets face it many (most ?) people change phones every year or two these days so that's not really an issue. You're more likely to notice the battery thing if you do it often enough.

Me personally, I don't do anything heavily CPU intensive with the phone while it's charging. I mean, how easy is it to do whatever it is you have to do with the phone (play a game or whatever), then throw it on charger when you're done & not using the phone ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoJo ^^:
With the poor battery of the SII, I prefer avoiding such situation : playing with kill battery in 3h or less, so unless I'm closer to full charge, I'll play will charging. This to avoid ultra low battery at any time. I'm not concerned by battery dying, I'm concerned by the explosion as said...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bernie279:
As you said, high temperatures will shorten battery life.

An important aspect is that you shouldn't fully discharge the battery before charging it.

Charging from 50% to 100% will permit you about 1500 recharges.

Charging from 0% to 100% will permit you about 500 recharges.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] WinGzZ:
Hello,

Recently I noticed that whenever I get a call I can tap anywhere on the screen and the call will be answered. This seems to be an issue with the screen notifications app I use to wake the screen when I get a text. Does anyone have a solution for this? To have the screen wake for texts and drag to answer? Will we have the option for screen wake for notifications be available in 4.2.2? Seems like such a normal option. Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mu7ammad3adel:
Ok, I have a thread in handcent privacybox of about 5000 or more messages, when i move it back to the normal inbox it won't move, it moves something like 250 messages or 14 or 100 etc ..! moreover, it hides some other threads for some times, also it dublicates these 250 to be 500 ..

I tried reinstalling, installing older version, clearing data but no gain ..

All i want to do is to move these 6000 messages to normal inbox so that they appear in stock messaging app then i will remove the whole handcent app

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TacticalQuit:
Hello, this is my first post on xda, I'm not quite sure ive put this in the right forum, so please correct me if ive faulted.

I am having issues with all 7 of the "oid" emulators (Gameboid, GBCoid, Ataroid, Gearoid, Gensoid, Nesoid, SNesoid)

All of them freeze at random (usually after 15-30 minutes of play, then every few seconds.) but they only freeze when the phone is on its side. otherwise they all work normally.

Things ive tried:

Factory reset

Zipping and unzipping the roms

reinstalling the apk

clearing the data

adjusting all the settings within the app

changed the I/O scheduler (Which worked the last time I had this problem, but no longer works)

with and without my gamepad attached (SixAxisController)

I did use the search, but the closest I came up with was a similar issue that was fixed by a factory reset.

I'm using CyanogenMod 10.1
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ryankgrant:
Haven't come up with a solution for these issues but I have also been experiencing the same problems as of recently. It starting happening out of no where when I switched from TW back to AOSP, but that may just be a coincidence. I tried all the things you listed as well. I tried to contact yongza but never got a response. Hopefully someone in the community has a fix because I use the emulators frequently.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bigbrd222:
I found that checking "Disable HW overlays" and "Force GPU rendering" under developer options tends to help

Why does Sony advise the phone not be under water longer than 30 min?

Will the water seep in? What's The difference between 1 meter or 10 meters? Water pressure?

I'm just wondering if I can take it snorkling or river rafting with me

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teo032:
Big difference in water pressure between 1m and 10m not sure about duration though
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QualQuek:
The pressure at 1meter underwater is approximatively 0,1bar, that jumps up to 1 bar at 10 meters, that's a huge difference!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qsec:
It's the ip classes 55/57 that decide the 30min 1meter limit.

The phone is certified to ip 55/57.

Tapatalked.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKrFfXx:
I wonder now why everyone thinks that kind of water resistance will make the phone indistructable.

For me, that water resistance (not waterproof) just makes me feel more confident about my device surviving water related accidents.

Just taking the device to the swimming pool defeats its certification (2 m deep pools are not uncommon, you know), splashing, swimming, just moving around under water, or even worst jumping into the water violently just multiplies the pressure around your device by more than those 0.1 bar.

Hi all.

I could not find any mention of this in the forums although I suspect many of you already know that Google Latitude will soon be retired (next month I believe)

In fact the current version/update of Maps is missing the Latitude feature.

This is a shame as I used this App more than anything else. It was a great way to let my family/friends know where I was. It was so handy to keep my mum a little more calm as she could see where i was while i was out riding the motorbike.

Does anyone know of any other Apps that offer real-time background location sharing (that does not require the B-party to install an app)?

Google+ does offer location sharing but from what I can see it simply makes a new post each time you check in somewhere. This is not what i want.

Cheers

Heath
[General Topics] petrofsky77:
Well, you get some you lose some, and in Google's case, whenever an app becomes less used, they will decide to close shop and move to other projects. That's how Google mobilize their project teams, and trust me, Google has A LOT on projects in mind. Who knows, in the future, Google+ might just join the ranks of Wave & Latitude as fallen heroes ...
[General Topics] heath_AU:
Ah yes. Google Wave. Thanks for the flashback. We had some fun on that.

I thought it was a very useful tool.

Does make me wonder what they have in mind to replace Latitude.

But i cannot help wondering why they shelved it. I imagine it would have been a pretty worry-free app. All the meta-data is basically contained in Google Maps so its not like it would have been too much hassle.

I cannot help but wonder if it were n00bs complaining about Privacy issues (after not understanding how it works)

No?
[General Topics] koyanishi:
Google did not close Latitude because of lack of use. They did it to force its users to Google+. They did similar thing with Picasa - made it part of Google+ - it used to be a great program but now it is much less fun.

I too am very disappointed that Latitude has been discontinued in an effort to troll people into Google+ and am beginning to dislike Google's policies more and more and trust them less and less.

I am going to jump on the first decent Ubuntu or Firefox phone that comes along and say goodbye to android.
[General Topics] IcyTexx:
Oh great... I was looking for it. First Google Reader, now Latitude. :(

[Acer Iconia A500] SolomonAiel:
Ok so I think I've searched well enough to conclude no one has my particular problem. When I plug in my A500 into my computer that has windows 7 windows recognizes that something was plugged in but not what it is. It says USB device not recognized, unknown device, and so on. I've tried installing the drivers from the acer website, I've tried installing the drivers from the link in the ics rooting thread, I've tried using the google android drivers and none have worked. I've even tried reinstalling windows but that had nothing to do with this it was a different thing that made me do it. Nothing has worked and I've become a bit frustrated with the tablet. Any suggestions on what to do?

Thanks

Your computer isn't detecting it at all, or is there an error while trying to identify it? Make sure you have the proper drivers for your device on your computer.
[Acer Iconia A500] SolomonAiel:
It's an error identifying it. I do have the correct drivers the a500 drivers from either the rooting guide or the Acer website neither has worked.
[Acer Iconia A500] SolomonAiel:
Moborobo does not work with the a500. I tried it and it still says to connect my device. which it is but it's just unrecognized.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
If you have installed the driver correctly, AND you had administrator rights when you installed, should be no reason why you can't get the PC to recognize the device.

First, I would advise using a good USB cable. It's been known in the past, that some folks try to use a printer cable, and sometimes it doesn't work. If changing cables doesn't work, then do the following

1. In Device Manager, try loading the drivers manually. You should be able to have it search the windows system for the drivers. If it doesn't find it, then windows is being stupid. Try installing it manually (ignore the warning it may not be compatible,.....)

2. If that doesn't work, then you can use the Google USB drivers

http://www.redmondpie.com/android-u...r-samsung-htc-asus-sony-lg-and-other-devices/

Generally, we install the Android SDK first;

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

And again, have Device manager look to that directory and manually select.

Either way, this should get you up and running.

And one more thing, turn on USB Debugging in your tablet's system properties.

MD
[Acer Iconia A500] SolomonAiel:
I've tried that. Didn't seem to work as windows would still not recognize the a500. And the usb debugging has been on since the beginning.
[Acer Iconia A500] SolomonAiel:
Okay i've gotten windows to the point of being able to install the drivers from the device manager but there is no clear option to choose. Here are the choices:

acer android communications port

acer android modem

acer hs-usb android diag

acer hs-usb diagnostics

acer composite adb interface

acer fastboot interface

acer picasso usb boot-recovery driver (google driver)

android bootloader interface (google driver)

So any suggestions cause I've tried installing the adb interface, fastboot interface and the android bootloader interface and haven't gotten any good results.

Thanks

Did you try a second PC? Sometimes a machine can get wonky if you've been using for years. Using a second machine or reinstalling Windows freshly would greatly increase the chances of detection.
