[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bvm1228:
Do I need to install any bootloaders or can I just use the Heimdall One-Click tool to go back without any problems?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AnAznBoy9724:
It's recommended to install bootloaders. The One-Click gives you the option to flash them.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cpkelley94:
Actually, don't flash bootloaders unless you have to from what I understand. It's just an unnecessary risk. After flashing with the one click without bootloaders, let the phone reboot into the ROM. If it works, you don't need to flash bootloaders.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AnAznBoy9724:
Really? I thought it was recommended if you wanted to start like fresh out the box.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cpkelley94:
I mean it probably wouldn't be a problem but it's not necessary. It's just a risk because if something happens during the flash the phone could become completely unusable and unrecoverable.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] sarvesvara.dasa:
I had noticed this a few days. The PDA2k softresets itself... The proofs are...

1. I removed the "Run_BTTrayCE_10.lnk" from the \Windows\StartUp\ folder. But the BT already is in the system tray. After a few hours (I was NOT looking at the screen all the time), when I open the device, I cannot find the BT icon in the bottom. Which means the device has done a soft reset.

2. The same as above, I added the link back in the \Windows\StartUp\ folder. Now, after few hours the BT icon appears on the tray. Which means the device has done a soft reset.

3. I did some registry modifications (to display the date&time on the top). I didnt do a soft reset. After some time, the registry comes into effect itself, which should happen only on a soft reset.

Pls help.... I am afraid if something is wrong in my device..
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] HDuser:
I am not sure about that.

How about you put a sim password on your device.

If it has reset itself you will find the enter pin under phone application. This I feel is a more sound way of testing it.

A device that resets itsself has in most cases a bad battery. (found this out buy buying a china made one)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Paint pb Balla:
Hello everyone. As of the past 2 days my note 2 has been super laggy with crap battery.. It is stock rooted and it has been doing it since I downloaded an app to speed up and slow down my cpu (not to overclock or underclock) but I messed around with a few settings and didn't see any performance enhancements so I uninstalled it. I was thinking maybe it left it on the setting I put it on when I deleted it off my phone but theres no way cause its neither fast nor saving battery. I have gone through all my accounts that sync ie: face book and google and unsynced them. Wifi is on for not even 1/3rd of the day and gps is off. My screen brightness is all the way up, but even a month ago I was going all day with 30% left at 9pm (taking off charger @ 7am). Now im taking it off at 7am and battery % is @ like 45% by 10am. Help me please. I could fully reset phone and have a back up (nandroid I think it is?) but id rather not have to seeming how I don't have a nandroid. I do have titanium backup tho. Memory is about half full on both sd and internal btw. Ive been switching through setting for 2 days now trying to fix but I cannot so im turning to the brains of smart phones....YOU GUYS! Please help. Thanks

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Paint pb Balla:
Btw I read an article the other day about the newer note 2's(the first ones that came out) and it read that a lot of them shipped with bad chips and that there was an app to download that would run your cpu and memory all the way up to encourage the chip to malfunction to see if it was messed up. I DID NOT download this app, only read about it. I purchased my baby about 3-4 months after it came to market. just adding a bit of info incase this helps someone diagnose this problem. Any one else experiencing this?

-Paint pb Balla-
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Paint pb Balla:
if I flash a fresh rom what all would I loose? Anything? its weird that once I installed that cpu control that it started acting up then after I uninstalled it. I didn't even reboot when I changed the setting in the app so I don't think it should have even been applied. if all else fails I have insurance ill unroot and take into sprint to service. Ima give it a day or two and keeping fooling with settings. Maybe wipe everything then restore from titanium. Thank you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Paint pb Balla:
I also failed to mention that the laggyness is on and off. I can awake screen and it take me 30 seconds to get to my text message inbox. Other times itl zip right to it. it just does it at randem times. Its killing me knowing that it might be trashed and if it is I do regret rooting my phone cause this is all too coincidental its doing this 2 weeks after root.

-Paint pb Balla-
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Paint pb Balla:
Ok I will. One more question if I go to setting>factory data reset and reset it while rooted what will it do? Will it just send me back to unrooted stock or do I have to unroot and then do a factory reset? I've also heard (sprint told me) that every couple of months you must take the battery out of your phone to let it "rest". Now I've taken my battery out, I think, never cause Ive had it wrapped up in the Defender Otterbox and im sure as everyone knows its quite a ***** to get off. I know that would not fix lagyness, but maybe battery life...?

-Paint pb Balla-
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Paint pb Balla:
As of right now I took my battery out and let it rest for 5min and it seems to have done the trick guys. Thanks for the responses.

[LG Optimus G Pro] vivebatu:
Hi guys,

I just came across a very strange issue.

I downloaded a notifications app yesterday and since such apps need accessibility service turned on, I promptly did that in the accessibility settings.

But after this, I noticed that the LG keyboard suddenly changed from the default path keyboard to a normal AOSP type keyboard with TALKBACK turned on!!!! Which means that each time I typed there was a voice calling out the key I pressed, which was terribly annoying to say the least.

I thot maybe i could change it back to default in language settngs but to my amazement all settings in the LG keyboard had been greyed out, so nothing could be changed.

finally after trying everything possible, I disabled accessibility service for the notifications app, and lo and behold the default keyboard was back!

Queries

1) has anybody experienced this behaviour before ? If not , you can try it, it is reversible, so no harm

2) any solutions?

Cheers
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artmuzz:
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 but it is locked to the O2 network. Can I still flash my Note 2 even though it's locked or will I have to unlock the phone before I can start rooting and installing custom ROMs?

Please advise.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dead soul:
unlock first.... if you flash a ROM before unlocking and especially a Samsung or Samsung based ROM they can install a another modem and that will overwrite the previous modem or even if it doesn't there is a chance there will be no consistency/chances of some files being tempered in the modem section of your phone.

there are many ways to unlock your phone just do your home work

and when you unlock your phone backup your EFS partition and even keep another copy out of your pc onto the cloud dropbox or email as if it gets damaged while flashing various ROMs you may end up destroying your IMEI it's possible...and it happens so without the EFS you will never be able to use the radio part of your phone ie calling feature/web browsing over 2G,3G or 4G...Google about EFS to know more
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artmuzz:
Would it be safer installing a custom kernel then if my phone is locked to a network? I did a backup of my factory ROM using CWM.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dead soul:
yes rooting is okay..incase some unlocking app requires root privileges..however backing up your ROM using CWM or TWRP will not back up your EFS mind you...

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] pieteroverbeek:
Hey,

I think this has been asked before but i will just do it once again to confirm because the problem isn't at my own phone.

The problem is the following:

My cousin has a Samsung galaxy mini 2 and she turned on her password screen lock ( a word as password instead of numbers

but she forgot her password

Because I won't lose any data or photo's and that kind of stuff so i started looking for a way to fix this problem.

What i found was, but it is only usable on ICS and GB is to fill in a wrong password as much as possible till it says:

try again within 30 sec because than you will get the option forgot pin/password

It was possible to get this option but I had to flash GB or ICS with odin --> will I still have all may data by choosing this option?

Is there any other option to get my data, photo's etc. safe or is it just flashing a rom and say bye to all your data?

Thanks in advance,

Pieter

PS sorry for my bad English

[General Questions and Answers] BeRniTo:
Hello everybody!

After installing a game called Plunk from the Play Store I started getting some annoying ads almost every time I turn on my WiFi or 3G data connection, so I uninstalled it but it keeps bothering me.

This turned into a malware!

I've searched everywhere on how to remove this but got nothing. Zynga's website has instructions on how to remove it from Facebook and other services, but not for Android.

I've tried this but there aren't such apk's (yes, I'm rooted).

I can't believe I'm the only one complaining about this!

Anyone?

Thanks in advance

UPDATE: I've e-mailed Plunk developer about this and he answered "I can assure you that Plunk! the marble game is not the source of your continuing advertisements"... so how can I trace the app which is making them appear??

If you're rooted try installing a different rom. That should get rid of it

I've searched in the installed apps and packages (/system/app) and couldn't find any with "zynga" in its name, so it's clearly hidden... That's malware! :mad:

Is there a way to know which app is making those ads appear?? :confused:

Just to be sure, you mean this kind of adds?

No, this kind of ads (see attachment).

Note: those listed games aren't the source of the ads because I installed them way before I started having issue. They seem to be the reason why Zynga Poker is being offered to me.

First off I'll like to give full credit to the developer of the app [MENTION=4673030]RSenG2x[/MENTION]

With the Moto X announcement, and the open mic function on the device.

I've found something similar for our Devices! I've tested it and it works flawlessly with the Note2.

I didn't set to listen when screen is off (experimental). But I did test it and its a little slow/buggy!!:eek:

Description:

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

Google Now becomes more conversational as after a search just say Okay Google to start a new one. And even better get the answers to your questions while your hands are tied, or when you're on the couch, or in the car.

TOMORROW'S FEATURES TODAY

Everybody's talking about the new Open Mic features for the Moto X, but now any phone that is running Jelly Bean or higher can have the same experience.

SEAMLESS

Open Mic+ will run in the background and can be configured to start at boot so that it truly becomes part of the phone.

TASKER INTEGRATION

Truly automate your device by combining the endless command list of Tasker with the ease of access of Open Mic!

Open Mic+ uses offline voice recognition which means less data usage and faster results.
