[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wsmaal:
Chrome (browser) sync doesn't work on my Xperia Z tablet (on my Galaxy Note 2 no problem). After activation enable sync (in other devices) nothing happens. Sync (in services) was switched from on to off. Back to on doesn't help, because it switched again off... In settings/app I uninstalled the chrome updates, but that doesn't help too..

Am I the only one experiencing the problem on the Xperia Z tablet (16GB)?
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wsmaal:
Solved.. I run the Setup Guide in (system) Settings again and activate "Sync automatically" ...

I have already run the setup guide after buying the Xperia Z tablet (early July), but now appears, the Sync was not activated. IMHO this important option belongs not in the system setup which you usually run one time.

Thought I would post this as I just brought one..

My Screen died yet again. after only having it in for service about March. Mind you it was here in Asus China.. so...

Anyway, It was giving me the dreaded black screen no turn on type thing, Plus a few of the other characteristics that have been documented in the Katkiss thread of late- Corrupted partition.

After the last battle with it, I ended up with a full strip on the left hand side about 50mm that is unresponsive.. nothing that you can do on the touch side of things, but mouse still works. Anyway.. wasn't going to send it back. as its not worth the aggravation of dealing with the idiots at the Asus aftersales service. So went and brought the Nexus 10.. Loving it..

but for project decided to look for another LCD screen and came across this seller with the full frame for sale.. so its about $US65.. so its my weekend project.. as Dam.. with Katkiss JB4.3 around.. I just want to play with it on the TF101.. Just not ready to let this thing die as yet.

I will update the post once i get it up and running.

Where did you find the full frame with the LCD for $65? I currently have the same problem with my tf101. And would love to replace it. Right now its just a paper weight.

Disregard, I got all excited a quick Google search lead me to one on amazon. Thank you for the tutorial I will follow once mine gets in and I'll report back!

Do you guys know any good screen protectors that are compatible with the adonit jot pro? I used xtremeguard and ionic screen protective film.

The xtremeguard works ok, it just that it sticks and resist friction on the adonit. I tried put scotch tape on the adonit so it would flow smoothly, but it still sticks. The ionic is ok as well, it flows nicely, but tends to skip a lot or need a lot of pressure to apply the conductor.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CatThief:
The most peculiar thing happened after I applied today's JWR66Y update.

Prior to the update my GNex was running stock 4.3, rooted with SuperSU, and TWRP recovery was installed. So I flashed back to stock recovery and used the SuperSU app option for "Full unroot" in preparation to apply the OTA update.

Instead of letting the system do it, I copied the downloaded zip file from cache to my PC and used ADB sideload. Then I used fastboot to flash TWRP. From TWRP I flashed UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip

Here's the peculiar part. When I rebooted I didn't have root. The SuperSU app appeared as installed under Apps, but there was no icon in the app drawer. So I went to Google Play and installed SuperSU from there. After that everything was back to normal.

I never saw this happen before. Out of curiosity does anyone know why? I'm thankful it was so simple to fix but I'm scratching my head.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Raugturi:
Mine did something strange as well, but different than yours. I'm also running stock 4.3, rooted with SuperSU, and TWRP. For me it downloaded and installed the update then booted into TWRP recovery. After that finished doing something automatically it asked if I wanted to fix root, which I did. The phone booted back up and it's back on JWR66V and when I check for updates it says there aren't any. Still have root though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sordna:
Put stock recovery and the update should work. Then you can put TWRP back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Raugturi:
unsought spendsP

Thanks. I'll try that once I can find somewhere to download the update (or whenever it decides to show up again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Don't answer "Yes" to that question. Then flash latest compatible supersu. Do you have root then?

a manta sent this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CatThief:
You can download the update zip file from here:

http://www.droid-life.com/2013/08/2...ta-updates-for-the-nexus-7-hspa-galaxy-nexus/

I just did it for my Nexus 7, followed the same steps described for my GNex, and the same thing happened haha. Oh well, easy enough to fix but I'm still wondering why flashing the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip didn't install the app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CatThief:
That was always enough for me with prior updates, too (before 4.3) but this update couldn't be applied without unrooting. It threw a Status 7 error and "Installation aborted". The moment I unrooted, the update installed without issue.

Did you mean to quote someone else?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] David:
Please if i may ask...is twrp better than cwm? What r d pros n cons
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] David:
Another question, i don't have the stock recovery. img file from jwr66v now google images only show jwr66y..will extracting recovery.img from this to flash before update work? Since I'm still on jwr66v? Or csn u pls upload the recovery. img for gsm yakju. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sordna:
Instead of accepting the OTA, install the zip file efrant posted here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44886292&postcount=102

it has the recovery dependency removed, so you can keep your custom recovery. Copy the zip to your sdcard, rename to update.zip and install via either CWM or TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] David:
Thanks.. Will do that and give a report. :thumbup::thumbup:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] David:
I downloaded the file..from the link above, renamed to update.zip, got into cwm. Hit apply...didn't work..gave a systsm 7 error..somethijg about build.prop and a directory/file not found in d package

Update:

Then copied my ota from cacbe n flashed thru cwm, toggled file verification off. It worked a bit then system 7 again but this time rebioted like someone mentioned above as though it was fully updated.. Ie upgrading apps etc..but after all it was stil jwr66v. So now i need d stock recovery.img file i guess.. Can someone please upload

Update 2:

As many have already stated...i went into supersu app..full unroot, rebooted into cwm using the original ota from cache( which i had copied into clockwork folder) flashed it successfully, then flashed supersu 1.51 which i also put in d above folder. Rebooted and now I'm rooted on jrw66y..last thing was to install the supersu app from playstore. Hope it helps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Nop, quoted the "wrong" post.

a maguro sent this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CatThief:
Which brings me back to my original question. Why does the SuperSU app have to be installed from Google Play if UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip is installed from recovery? All of the system su files are there, just not the app. Isn't this a bit peculiar?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] David:
Yeah
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plaktoets:
I got the OTA. I did "full unroot" in SuperSU. Isntalled the OTA, TWPM automatically installed the update.zip.

But now my device in unrooted and when i want to reboot into recovery in order to flash SuperSU i get the android logo with the exclamation mark! What to do?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
reflash twrp in fastboot.

i bet you used a toolkit to root didnt you?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plaktoets:
No, initially I rooted by flashing supersu.

Flashing TWRP did the trick, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] badhri:
Nexus 4 did the same

I have a Nexus 4 and my device did exactly the same after updating from 4.2.2 to 4.3(jwr66v).. Do not know the reason.. But after downloading the app from Play Store, things are working fine.. I suspect the Full Unroot option in SuperSu to be the culprit..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CatThief:
At least the "fix" was simple. Thanks for your input. I knew I couldn't be the only one, especially since I saw the same thing happen on two separate devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aza510:
still having troubles

so i have system updated to jwr66y. i have cwm 6.0.35 i added twrp in CWM but somehow by the way every one is talking it's a completely different program.

my problem is that when i boot nto recovery it has a red ! above a open droid. so i can't use recovery. my super su doesn't work and cwm won't work. i think i somehow need to in root and reroot.

can someone tell me what to use to un root. also what are the best super user and super SU brands to use. i like the idea of superuser being installed into system settings.

Same here, I also tried fastboot flashing twrp again but no luck, it didn't stick, wtf... Is there a factory image that needs to be flashed for JWR66Y?

---------- Post added at 04:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 PM ----------

This is not working for me though I had the same issue as you did. Despite flashing the latest 2 TWRP recoveries I get redirected to stock recovery every. single. time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koko_lee28:
still not working

i think its about that "assert failed"., does anyone having the same problems?.. can someone please help me,

im on 4.3 jwr66v, using franco kernel r 75
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Garymeister:
I got my recovery img to stick finally. Thought it was cause USB debugging wasn't enabled but it was that it was a temporary recovery and I had to flash supersu in order for it to stick again.

Edit: Old post but wth, might as well correct myself. After flashing a recovery via fastboot, don't reboot into the phones system, reboot into recovery first and update SuperSU for root permissions. Then reboot from recovery.

My mistake was that after flashing the recovery, I'd boot into system later realizing the custom recovery didn't "stick" and I was confronted with the stock recovery (little green android and red triangle). So, booting into recovery immediately after flashing seemed to work.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pr.TOSHIBA:
My G2 might be dead. It won't boot up. When I press the power button it vibrates three times then blinks an orange light on and off continuously. The only way to stop it is to remove the battery. When I hold volume down and power it vibrates about five times then has a green light for a little bit. Either way nothing shows up on the screen. It was doing this same thing a few weeks ago, I messed with it a little bit and it worked fine. Adb will recognize the phone only if it has the blinking orange light. I have tried charging it, of course. When charging it has a solid orange light until full, then it's green; just like normal. I wasn't doing anything unusual when it started (flashing a rom, messing with system files, etc.) it just happened out of nowhere. My rom is LewaOS. The first time it happened I think I was using JoyOS. I don't think it is a faulty battery, because I tried swapping batteries with my brother's MyTouch 3G Slide and the issue was the same. (I know they don't have the same battery, but I held the battery in at an angle so the contacts would meet). Has this happened to anyone else? I would really like to get this figured out, because I don't have enough money for a new phone and the old school Nokia I am using for the time being is sort of a pain.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pr.TOSHIBA:
Does this mean it is bricked?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
What happens when you plug it in to PC? Does windows auto search for a driver called qusbdownload or something like that?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pr.TOSHIBA:
If it is "on" when I plug it in Windows tries a driver called Qualcomm Technologies something or other then says the driver failed.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Then chances are its bricked, this means the phone is trying to get into an HTC download mode that no one has gotten to work with the vision to the best of my knowledge. There has been work done on other phones (the debricking project) that makes use of this mode to unbrick your phone, but nothing for this phone

You can try to leave out the battery for a week (fully charge battery first) and the test it, some say this works and it did work for me on a similar phone in a similar circumstance or you could get someone to JTAG it back to life.

Also I have read that some people have been able to open the phone and clean it thoroughly, reassemble and then it works. I've opened these phones many times and don't know what components need cleaning but you can enter this mode holding the volume down button while plugging phone into PC, so maybe the volume rocker or USB needs cleaning

Just some thoughts, best of luck to you!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pr.TOSHIBA:
Even though you're basically informing me that I have a bricked phone, I'll hit the thanks button for your knowledge. I will try some of what you said, then probably commence the search for a phone I can afford.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
haha, i dont require thanks, i help for the sake of helping! but thanks!

HERE IS A LINK to more info about the vision, including brick advice and teardowns of your phone.

If your looking for a cheap fix you can often find a used cracked screen broken g2 on ebay for under 40$ and its easy to swap logicboards. if you really want a qwerty phone there are few to choose from and this is still one of the top choices.

I own many qwertys, htc g1, g2, mytouch 4g slide, samsung sidekick 4g, just bought a samsung relay and really my favorite to this day is still the htc vision.

my advice if you cant get yours working, consider swapping logicboards, take about 10 minuets and LOOK HERE cant promise anything of course but sounds like a perfect phone to swap logicboards and only costs 24$

best of luck!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pr.TOSHIBA:
Goodbye

I guess this is my farewell to the G2 and Desire Z forums. You guys have been great. I thought about buying a Vision with good internals and swapping them, but in the end I decided it was time to try something different. I've had this phone for a while. Ideally, the HTC One (M7) would be the successor of my G2, but it just doesn't work with my tiny budget. My second choice would have been a HD2, but, again, I don't have enough money (that's how small the budget is). Today I ordered a Motorola Milestone 3 for $49 on ebay, so when it arrives I'll hopefully be able to get my SIM to work in it. I thought I would never buy a non-HTC phone again (never a Samsung, not even once). Oh, well. Who know, maybe someday my desolate G2 will get jealous of the Milestone and decide to boot up again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jotty1993:
Hello there. Basically, I was on the newest (I think) Alliance Rom with Dorimanx kernel for s2. however, it began to get quite buggy, and I tried to flash a new kernel onto it. Siyah. then I tried to flash Cyanogenmod onto it. Restarted, phone won't load past the siyah logo. But I get the siyah recovery menu thing still. But when I try to install the cyanogenmod zip, it fails. I have no other roms on my sd card, or kernels, for that matter.

Please can somebody advise me what to do. I need my phone for work in 5 hours! :( I was thinking a fix possibly with Odin? Although, I'm guessing if I wiped the phone, kies will no longer be on there. Not sure what it means for it.

thanks.

It's Jellybean by the way
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
1) Use a more descriptive title than 'HELP !'. Many people will ignore your thread/not read it for that alone (which means you might miss out on help).

2) If you've still got CWRecovery, you still should be able to flash something without resorting to Odin. I would suggest perhaps you're not following the instructions on the first page of the CM thread to the letter. Try it again.

If you really can't flash anything in recovery & still have bootloop (I.E recovery seems broken), get a stock rom from Samfirmware, flash it with Odin = clean slate & you can then re-root your phone & have another go at flashing whatever rom/kernel you want to use.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jotty1993:
Thanks, and thanks for telling me about the title, I guess, my apologies, but urgency is urgency.

I can't get any zip files onto my phone or the SD card. so flashing from the phone is pretty much a no.

I can try Odin, however, I barely know what it is. Is anybody willing to just tell me what to click?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
No spoon feeding allowed mate. No one will hold your hand and tell you what button to click. I may as well fly over there and do it myself.

If you want to know about Odin flashing click the link in my signature and look at the section on how to flash.

But, I still don't think you need to use Odin. In CWM recovery, Mount usb storage, connect to pc, transfer rom.zip onto phone sd from pc, unmount usb & then flash rom. Done.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jotty1993:
Okay.. Seems a bit odd, being a help section, in a forum. I just figured since I'm dealing with something that could potentially break/brick my phone, I would rather do it right as opposed to wrong, considering I have never done it myself before.

Thanks though, I didn't actually know I could mount it without actually booting the phone. I'll try that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Yet you still haven't changed it. Urgency may well be urgency, but you either want to make that small change & potentially get the help you need if you get stuck further, or you don't. No skin off any of our noses either way *shrugs*.

P.S - Forum rules are forum rules.

Edit - And the reason Hopper said what he said - this may well be a Q&A forum, but that doesn't mean we regurgitate stuff that's been asked/answered thousands of times over the past two years for any n00b who thinks they deserve same.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:

Just a few more that just say "help". I can see that it is not posing a ****ing problem. Not to mention (may be my fault) but I don't see any way to change the title.

As far as I'm concerned mate, I wanted help with something, went to the HELP section of a FORUM, and got help, so you can go **** yourself if you have a problem with that. I don't go to forums to just chat about my day. If what I did ask was too much for you, then just let someone help who is more helpful than you. I didn't ask anybody to troll the net for files, or anything of the sort, I asked for legitimate help with something I didn't know how to do.

Either way, I've managed to fix the problem, so no more needs to be done.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaldsud:
Edit>Go Advanced

Please show respect to senior members. They have been here longer than you, obviously dealt with problems much similar to your and want you to search for yourself, that is why the search buttons are there. Did you watch 'I am a noob in XDA Developers' video?

And you obviosuly have no idea why they say this, but it's because you will learn for yourself. In near future you will search and find answers yourself if you start now (which they are trying to make you do) other than just relying on other people to do your work for you. That's not the way XDA developers work.

So rather then being disrespectful and throwing insults at them, you should thank them

They gave you good guidance mate :-/

PS. Kies is crap - get rid of it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jotty1993:
Yes - I appreciate the fact that I was helped the amount I was, but I could say the same. Is that the best way to treat new members? I have already apologized twice for my mistakes, at least, and I STILL have people telling me I'm doing things wrong. Also, it's not like I haven't thanked them. I think I thanked them at the end of nearly every post. Anything else to pick at?

I'm not trying to disrespect - just trying to prove my point. If you didn't want to help me, don't, just don't ***** about the fact that I wanted help. :/

My problem is fixed, that's all that matters.

thanks again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaldsud:
Yes it's the right way to treat new members.

You are doing things wrong, respecting other members is a rule of XDA and you're not doing it - so you're doing it wrong.

Good you thanked. But was i necessary to disrespect. Yes you were disrespecting.

Prove your point? That it's okay to spoonfeed newbies and making them think that they wont have to do anything, just ask and wait?! No that's not right, as already stated.

You wanted to help how exactly? To tell us that we should do it 'the way you like it'? No that's wrong, accept it!

Dont come here and try to flame, there's a rule against that. Take you crap elsewhere, cause with that attitude you probably wont get much help around here or anywhere else for that matter.
