You were just holding it?

Did it have an un-noticed hairline crack prior maybe?

How were you holding the phone? Screen face up, down, on a call, etc., etc.

I'm trying to understand the mechanics of how this happened.
[HTC ChaCha] shugs81:
Hi peeps...

I'm currently running the hexagon stock modified rom and i was wondering what stuff i can remove without screwing it up???

I pulled a few bits n pieces out like the weather stuff and google maps and gmail using link2sd and it ran fine for a while then something went wrong and the phone would lock up if the screen went off...

I would like to strip everything down to the bare minimum... I use my kindle fire for 90% of stuff now... All i want is basic phone functions, a twitter client, skype and emails... Plus tethering and gps.... And play store for updates

I'm considering changing sense for something else too if theres anything smaller and quicker...

Any tips would be welcome! Thx in advance!

Almost forgot... Can i delete the internet browser and install firefox to replace it rather than install it alongside?
[HTC ChaCha] Hnk1:
you can delete usually many apps like weather, stocks, mirror, calculator, browser, facebook, even search, mail,dictionary, gmail and talk. However, some apps are linked with others like contacts is merged with messaging so removing one might affect another. I will not delete any app that you can not see in app drawer and neither delete an app which i think might be integrated with another one!

You can also remove camera :P
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SemHilton:
Hey,

I got my Nexus S stuck in a boot loop and my power button is broken too.. I also failed to check usb debugging while I was still able to boot, so I guess adb isn't going to find my device.. (already tried that, but even Windows/Ubuntu doesn't seem to recognize my device). Will I ever be able to get out of this boot loop?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikekir97:
You should try the usb jig.. Is a little device that brings the the phone to download mode.. You can then flash any rom with odin..

You can find the jig here..

The download mode. Just to know what to expect..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SemHilton:
Okay, I bought the jig. It was delivered pretty fast :)

But I tried Odin, the way it should work (official firmware for I9023 which is my model), it worked (or at least I thought it did) because it gave me this:

My phone rebooted and the home and search button lighted up, then only the menu key and the back key joined not that long after that. But nothing on my screen or anything. So I guess I really killed it. I've let it sit there for about 10 minutes, then pulled the battery out and tried rebooting, but the same procedure started and nothing else really happened..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikekir97:
I had this problem with the back and the menu keys not working and was solved with factory reset..

Wouldn't it be extra nicer to add a message, or -even better- add a text file along with the new ROM, explaining what it is.

I still do appreciate this forum as well as all the uploaders, but it would make everyone's life way more easier.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] shamus:
Hello

I'm this naughty uploader :wink:, it's extracted Polish Era GSM external rom. If you think it's worth to upload whole rom from my MDA just let me know. I thought that the name of the rared file itself is quite good explanation of the content but as I see it wasn't enough, sorry for that. I'll try to be better next time :D

When I send an MMS message it works fine as verified by the recipients. When I receive replies to that MMS though, some return into the MMS thread while others start a new SMS thread between me and the one other person. The people who I have problems with are using verizon although some people on verizon are working for me.

I tried to find a similar problem which I know must exist but I couldnt find any threads.

[LG Optimus G (International)] franky_z:
Hi,

I now have a Optimus G (E975), coming from LG 2x which is a huge step. The G is a very nice phone!

In the 2x forum some clever guys found a way to lower down wifi power consumption with "iwconfig" "iwmulticall" and "iwlist" in the xbin folder under system. Even under CM 10.1. The great dev called pengus77 implementet this in his great kowalsky kernel.

e.g.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_tools_for_Linux

I´m a noob and tried to copy these 3 files in xbin with hopefully the right permissions but it did not work. Via terminal emulator and the command "iwconfig" I can only read that wifi power is at 20 dbm in stock cm 10.1.

But it could be lowered down to 10 dbm without any problem but with more battery friendly effects.

Only can share this information here, thats all I can do. Maybe here is someone who knows what to do.

I attache the 3 files below...
[LG Optimus G (International)] Miniricho:
Are you definitely rooted?
[LG Optimus G (International)] franky_z:
Yes, 100%. Why? Is it working for you?
[LG Optimus G (International)] anoth3r:
somebody managed to do this ?
[LG Optimus G (International)] hasan4791:
It might work but your wifi coverage is reduced, as power is always inversely proportional to all the radio related devices. if yu always sit next to wifi router means this is fine...
[LG Optimus G (International)] x_justin:
Beleive it or don't, your connection will get faster unless you are 20 meters away from your router. I was amazed when I saw this on my LG optimus 2x, but it's really true. 11dBm is the european standard and will work fine. When you are broadcasting a signal which is significantly higher then the one from your router, you are more likely to interfer with it. When levels are equal, the flow between the signals is optimal. I read an article about it somewhere. LG is the king of pushing all the dBm's to the max to beat their competitors in terms of signal strenght. Quite healthy hmmhmm:silly:

I don't know about anyone else but I used Google Latitude a LOT. My wife and I tracked each other to know where we were to start dinner, that we landed safely on business trips, etc. So when we were told that it was going away and that we had to use Google+, it just smelled fishy. Why would I want to use TWO map apps one one was working perfectly fine (see friends and traffic all at once)?

Well, now it is clear that Google decided to cash in with Google Maps Coordinate. For the low, low price of $20/person/month, you can have all the functionality of Latitude back again!

I know that Google is a business, but Christ, this is ridiculous. Does Coordinate do ANYTHING that Latitude DIDN'T do already? I can't wait until someone creates a custom app that puts Google+ friends on a Google Maps layer.
[General Topics] gsar:
Yea, I'm in the same boat as you. The wife and I just recently switchted to android, from being long time iPhone users. We both liked and used Latitude a lot (well for the 2 months that we had it)

I didn't know about them having a paid service, not that I would ever pay for that. That's just as dumb as what the carrier wants to charge for a similar feature.

You could try Glympse.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glympse.android.glympse
[General Topics] sleze:
Thanks for the link. Glympse appears to have a lot of features that latitude never had and I will check it out. However, it doesn't have (by design) automatic, persistent location updating that can be displayed on Google maps like latitude had for free or coordinates has for $240/person/year.

I actually signed up to speak with a Google sales rep for coordinates and asked him point blank how coordinates was any different than latitude. He feigned ignorance that latitude was even a thing which is probably his sales team's marching orders. Sad.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cyaneyed999:
I bought my Galaxy Note II right after it came out, and after a few months, I had unlocked the bootloader, rooted the phone, and installed the Mean Bean ROM. I ran it with ZERO problems until...

Yesterday my phone dies after the battery is fully discharged, and when I plug it in, all I see is the pre-boot battery, as if it is about to charge, but the circular loading symbol is dead in the middle, frozen. The LED light up top won't do anything either.

I could get it into recovery and download mode, although the battery would not charge, so the phone had to be plugged in no matter what. Did a clean wipe and tried reflashing the ROM, then I tried flashing both the stock roms from stockroms.net for the Verizon Note 2. Every flash failed.

I went into download mode to try and flash the stock roms via Odin, but Odin wouldn't recognize my phone. Reinstalled the Samsung Mobile Drivers (yes the correct ones), tried using the Toolkit, but no matter what, Odin wouldn't recognize my phone. No comport number, nothing.

Next, I took out the usb charging port in the phone, made sure nothing was damaged or unplugged, and put it back it. No change. Went to bed frustrated as all hell.

This morning, I tried everything again a second time, and the next thing I know, hours later, the phone shows 11% battery in recovery mode, but no change otherwise. This whole time, I've been using Team Win Recovery Project, so I decide to switch to ClockWorkMod. I get the file on the sd card, put it into the phone, and...

Nothing. That 11% disappeared apparently. Now I cannot boot into recovery mode or download mode, let alone get the frozen battery indicator. What now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
Could be the charging port is damaged. About 2 months ago my phone looked like it was charging when I plugged it in (would show charging indicator), but really wasn't. Called Verizon and got a warranty replacement.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xatomicx:
Hi guys,

I was flashing sense 5 3.6+ota updates on my Rogers Evita, i had 3.5 before and it all went well surprisingly.

now i flash TWRP for evita 2.6 as recommended, i was able to get in, clean cache, flash ROM, flash the new boot.img as suggested, and got stuck on a bootloop.

Tried going back in TWRP, and now i see the Teamwin screen, then to htc screen than hangs.

I tried version 2.5 and 2.6 of TWRP get same results, same with clockwork. So My guess is that my problem doesnt come from the recovery file, but elsewhere ..

Current phone status:

S-On

Hboot 2.14

Radio 0.23a

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 31ken31:
Boot to fastboot and type

Fastboot erase cache. That will probably get you into twrp
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xatomicx:
That worked for the bootloader, so far so good.

I'm back to bootlooping, probably need a different boot image. Flushed the whole SD started from scratch, and still bootlooping hehe
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 31ken31:
Rom includes boot image. Reflash the rom. Then fastboot flash the boot.img from the rom. You just installed, wipe cache, and dalvik. A factory reset after woukdnt hurt either
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xatomicx:
Yeah i always flash the rom included in the zip file, thats why i'm surprised about bootlooping.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I don't know why it's looping, it shouldn't be if you're following the correct procedure. Are you doing a full wipe, then flashing the ROM, and then flashing the boot.img from that ROM in fastboot?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xatomicx:
Yeah, i am always flashing the boot included in roms, but somehow my bootloader always show 2.14 after flashing ... that might be why i cant get it to work

Your bootloader will always show 2.14 unless you get a firmware update. Flashing ROMs does not change your hboot.

Sure,

What version of cm did you try? See if you can get Scott's clean rom booted. That one has flashed and booted for a couple other people having issues. And make sure you verify md5 before you flash it

You're not doing a full wipe, you should wipe system/factory reset/cache/dalvik cache.

Cm 10.1 should wipe system. Ive skipped it a few times and been fine. But never hurts to manually do it either. I figured clean rom would be stockish and his best chance on booting. Dosent viper xl flash boot img ?

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] smtownsend:
I just received my new Siemens SX66 from my Cingular provider. I tried to upgrade to the 1.33.110 firmware from the Siemens Website and got an invalid Country ID Error. In Contacting Siemens, they said that I have an AT&T variant version of the SX66...

So my Question is, since AT&T does not really Exist anymore, will my AT&T Variant SX66 be supported by Siemens/Cingular?? Should I return the phone and switch to a Cingular Plan?

I dont want to be stuck with a phone I cant upgrade or be forced to toss because they get rid of the AT&T SIM Cards or something...

Thanks,

Scott<-
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] ChrisSpera:
In a word, yes.

If there is in fact a difference, then you're likely going to continue to have problems, unless and until Siemens makes modifications to the ROM to allow your unit to update.

If you are/were with AT&T, and then got absorbed by Cingular due to the buy-out, the quickest way to an answer is to return your current unit, and then "switch" providers to Cingular and get the SX66 from them.

I hope that helps. Good luck!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] smtownsend:
Thank you for your reply.... I had a feeling that this might happen. )-;

Now after all the people I know and have spoken with at Cingular/AT&T, there is no one who will understand my issue to help me out... I'm sure of it...

Any Advice?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] ChrisSpera:
Yeah... scream and yell until someone listens. Talk to managers and supervisors. Talk to regional/district managers... Talk to Level 2 tech support.. Someone there MUST listen. If they don't, return everything, import a PDA2k or XDAIII from O2 via eXpansys USA and then pop your SIM in the slot. That's what I did... Cingular doesn't even know, and doesn't NEED to know what phone I'm using. They've said that much themselves. :)

Installation Aborted

Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?

I can't get in to the developers options to turn on USB Debugging mode so think this may be the cause? Is there any way I can rebuild my Nexus 7 when I can't get it in to USB debug mode? If so, can anyone give me clear instructions on how to do this.

I also can't find any ROM images for 4.1.1? which is what the error is indicating is the version I had installed?

Any help here would be most welcome

Many thanks in advance

You do not need USB Debugging to use ADB while in recovery - that for only when booted into the ROM. You can use fastboot to flash stock image package to restore the stock 4.1.2 ROM.
