I would imagine it'll be the updated version, I ordered a new band yesterday from amazon, it shows as shipping directly from Spigen......

---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 PM ----------

why does everyone always talk about the price Spigen charges? I paid just over $20 for my neo hybrid on amazon and it was shipped from Spigen, just gets annoying when people talk about the price

I don't see a big difference in thickness. This will break. I miss the durability of the GS2Neo Hybrid. The plastic was solid but it could flex some.

[Motorola Droid 4] Twowong4words:
If i boot looped and had to load the maserati .xml, had spotty touch screen response, now its just dead. Replaced touch screen, re flashed multiple times both the last JB sbfs. Still no touch screen control.

What controls the touch screen then? Where is the firmware and does it get replaced/reinstalled with flashing a .xml?

I was able to push safestrap over and after installing it, all the sudden i had access to my other partitions. I cannot get into SS because i have no touch screen but is there a good chance my other partitions are interfering with my stock rom? Is it possible Kexec that i believe is ran for liquid smooth possibly the problem? Is it the kernal that controls the touch screen? b/c it doesnt work even in SS and that is before any roms are loaded....

HELP!!!
[Motorola Droid 4] nowell29:
If you have twrp installed, check to see if touch screen works there before rom loads. I am having a goofy touch screen problem in a related thread. Wondering if problem lies with digitizer controller, the little magnet sensor for the slide, or worse, something on the motherboard.
[Motorola Droid 4] Twowong4words:
It doesn't work in twrp, plus ive replaced the digitizer(touch screen) so unless i flashed it wrong somehow, its the MB.

Unfortunately this also occurs when moisture finds it's way to certain components through sweat mostly. Not saying that's your case just a possibility
[Motorola Droid 4] nowell29:
I wish i could say that i have found or will find a solution. But I cannot. this is my work phone so I need a working replacement right away, which I have now done.

i will add that my screen works about 2% of the time. i have to catch it and be lucky. Then watch that i dont turn off the screen or slide it closed again. So, it HAS to be a sensor that is messed up. Yes, it could be sweat. There is a lot of that on the side of my head these days in Phoenix!

Good luck guys with this. It is on to an S4 for me!

Any ideas?

According to MSDN you can call WriteFile from several threads at a time, so that may speedup things. But I'd recommend either of 2 methods - calling SetFilePos() or using memory mapped files.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skitzo2000:
I was hoping to turn my wife's old epic 4g touch into a cheapcast. So I bought an mhl adapter from monoprice. She hasn't used her phone in a few months so it was completely dead, so I charged it up and booted the phone and the screen was acting really funky with grey lines and such. The problem just seemed to get worse and worse over a ten minute period, and now the screen is just grey with lines sometimes, and completely grey at other times, every once in a while I can see the screen barely through the lines.

Capacitive buttons seem to still work and I can tell the touch screen is still working as I can unlock the phone, but I can't see anything on the screen at all. I did have the MHL adapter hooked up for a few minutes to verify it worked, and it did but thats it.

I seen some other threads about the grey lines being a battery issue, but I have three batteries for the phone and the same issue with all three. Two are cheap batteries and one is the original samsung battery. And I couldn't find any threads about a completely grey screen with a working touch screen.

So is it dead? Would recovery possible fix this? If so how the heck do I get to download mode without being able to see the screen?

This phone is stock unrooted with whatever the latest firmware update from sprint was. Sorry I can't give you more details, it wasn't my phone so I haven't messed with it too much.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
Maybe one of the ribbon cables came loose.

sent from my Provari with a mini rda!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skitzo2000:
Yeah I may have to do a tear down. Just seems odd that it would slowly degrade that way. Oddly enough I tried the MHL adapter again and it will display the screen, but its pretty difficult to type on the screen that way. I would probably be golden if the phone was rooted. Then I could easily load some vnc software and be done, but alas Its not rooted...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
Not sure if you know how or not. But put tge phone in download mode and use a one click version no data of the same stock version number. Now its rooted and you lost no data in the process. You can find your build version in the about phone section of your phone. So if you have fl24 look up the one click no data version

sent from my Provari with a mini rda!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
It is likely that the battery is shot. What happens with lith-ion batteries is when they lose all of their charge, the become unstable to completely useless. When the phone dies, the battery still has about 20% charge left. Over time that charge drops to levels making the use of it inadvisable. I suggest trying a new battery first. If that does not fix it, we can work from there. Order one and check the flex cables in the meantime. An unstable battery can cause undesirable behavior of the device to include screen issues.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skitzo2000:
I suppose thats a possibility. Unfortunately I've already done a factory reset on the phone so theres not much there anyway. I'm used to nexus phones that make it super easy to root and sideload via adb, so I'm just going to have to dig in and do some reading on this phone so I can put all the pieces together. Certainly I'll choose that option over doing a tear down. Teardown will be the last resort.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skitzo2000:
Hey Thanks GrayDiggy, Unfortunately my cheap cast project is starting to add up a tad. I was hoping with three separate batteries I could eliminate that as an issue. I'll see if i can source a new battery cheap.

Nobody?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
You will need to dump a copy of your recovery.img file in order to make clockworkmod recovery. You can determine which partition is your recovery partition by running the following commands as root from adb shell or terminal emulator:

cd /dev/block/platform
ls

After you list the contents of the platform directory take note of what the platform name is (For my Nexus 10 it's dw_mmc.0). Then change directory into the name of the platform directory (Make sure to substitute dw_mmc.0 with your devices platform name):

cd dw_mmc.0

Then change directory into the by-name part of the platform directory and then list the directory with the following commands:

cd by-name
ls -l

After listing the partition names you should see a partition block named recovery, SOS, or similar this is the recovery partition you want to dump to create a recovery.img. Once you have noted which block number is the recovery partition you can then dump a copy of the recovery.img to your phones storage with the following command:

cat /dev/block/{recovery partition block number here} > /mnt/sdcard/recovery.img

You should now have a copy of the recovery.img file on your phones storage. If you upload a copy of the recovery.img file that you dumped to your phones storage I can try and compile Clockworkmod Recovery for you :).

mmcblk1p1
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
In that case try cd into msm_sdcc.3 and run the commands listed above that should contain the by-name directory.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalel29:

ok i got it,but its only 142 bytes its ok to be that small?

im using online recovery builder btw
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
That's way to small, It should be anywhere from 4-8 Megabytes in size can you list your partition layout that the by-num directory shows or also run the following command:

cat /proc/partitions

And I can try and determine which partition is the recovery partition.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Try dumping mmcblk0p25 that looks like it could be the recovery partition based on size.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalel29:
so the command should be:

cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p25> /mnt/sdcard/recovery.img ???

----------------ok got it but now its 52 mb
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalel29:
wait if im not mistaken and my logic its right ,you are saying that the image should be around 8mb,so if i do the math its 1024*8 its 8192 and the only block with that number its the number 18.

well its just my opinion ,im just learning.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Yes, I would recommend dumping block mmcblk0p18. The previous block I misread the block size and though it read ~5 MB rather then the approximately ~50 MB is came out to be.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raffles496:
And just search since /cache/recovery/last_log be more easy no?

I can make recovery.img of 12 mb but i dont know be correct.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalel29:
before doing anything,check this page shimp208 ,raffles496 is also searching on a way to build a recovery for this device,his only problem is that he does not speak english,but he´s smarter than me.

http://androidforums.com/venice-all-things-root/662166-dev-recovery-clockworkmod-recovery.html

maybe we can use it to search the correct block to pull the image and make CWM.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
I'm more then happy with teamwork :good:. After browsing that thread you can figure out what partition recovery is by booting into the stock recovery on your phone, then in the stock recovery select the wipe cache option. Then once you have done that reboot the phone and navigate to the /cache/recovery folder on your device and inside that will be recovery.log. If you upload the recovery.log file then we should finally be able to determine which partition truly is the recovery partition.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalel29:
yes i also saw that,the only thing is that i dont know how to enter to default recovery to wipe cache,i see the path with root explorer,but there's nothing inside the folder,thats the last step in order to start making a working recovery for this phone,and also thanks again for your help and advice.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charsta:
Hello,

I'm trying to perform a memory (RAM) acquisition for my S2 (for a uni project), but in order to do that I need the /proc/config.gz file.

I search the web and from the results I realise that a specific option had to be enabled on the kernel in order for the config file to exist.

Currently I am root, and I need to stay rooted for the acquisition, using PhilZ kernels from here.

I have the last version 03.06.2013 - PhilZ-cwm6 v5.06.1 with CWM 6.0.3.2 based recovery for XWLSS.

Is there any chance I can enable that config option and still be rooted? Maybe by just flashing another kernel? Or someone can provide my with a config file from his device (S2 on 4.1.2)?

I am on Stock 4.1.2.

Thank you,

Hi,

I have a Moko Slimline case and I like it a lot. It's perfect to hold but I really do doubt if I dropped it that the case would provide a lot of protection for my tablet. What I am looking for is a neoprene zip closed case ( or any other type of bag / envelope style case) that I can put my tablet / with Moko case in to protect it while I travel.

The cases I find are either too big and the tablet moves around too much or too small so fit both Nexus 7 and Moko case.

To avoid buying a whole bunch of different cases I was wondering if anyone would know of a case that I could use.

Didn't know we had our own thread now.

Anyways so I've been trying to hook my active up to my monitor -- an ASUS VX238H -- and I finally got the correct MHL to HDMI adapter, but I still can't get it to work and I've tried three different HDMI cables. With this Sypder C Class cable and this Belkin cable I have the phone would detect being plugged up to the HDMI, but the monitor wouldn't recognize it, and with this off brand cable when I plug it in my monitor goes black (and it has two HDMI inputs with my computer plugged into HDMI1 and the phone plugged into HDMI2). Is there a specific cable I need or perhaps cables without a specific feature (such as Ethernet)?
