Hi there,

having issues with my Galaxy note 2.

The first one is that when I try to switch it off, it goes in the whole sequence, vibrates as if it's turned off but soon after it's already booting. The blue indicator light stays on.

Second issue is that it is not charging when turned off. I have left it for about 2 hours and nothing happened. Turned it on and now it's charging ok. Also, I see that when I turn on the screen the red light (indicating that it's in charge) switches off and not always comes back on when I switch the screen off (from the power button).

I rooted it but it doesn't seem to be rooted when checking with app from play store. I can't update it as when I try it says I've modified the software so it's not possible..

Any ideas? it's still in warranty so might send it back but I thought if I could sort things out myself it might be better than waiting for 2weeks to have it back..

Thanks,

!!!!PLEASE ASSIST!!!!

So e4gt root running aokp with my own flairs, cwm recovery, stock kernel.... its been rooted about 6months (my second one, smashed old)

so ive never had a problem until today when i was charging it via comp usb and suddenly m computer blue screened (overclocking fun) and of coarse comp shuts off and stops charging... comp comes back on line and now all i get is the blue light of death. finally got it booted into recovery from a homemade battery charger i made did a full wipe restore to factory and still getting the blue light. by now my battery dead. finally charged up again got it into odin and computer wont even acknowledge the phones existence not even in recovery mounted storage. all drivers are fine and ive tried multiple ports and multiple cables as well as 2 different computers.... the real kicker is when the phone is off and plugged in the blue light will flash for about 15min then the phone boots up and then shuts right down "battery low, connect charger". sorry about the length and the slight confusion. ive been working at this for about 3 hours..... p.s JTAG did not do anything... just covering my bases :confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
Flashing blue light means that the battery has failed. In this case, it could be another component in the phone that is failing too. Try getting a new battery. If that doesn't work, I am afraid that you are hosed...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dmiles053:
i do have an extra battery from the first e4gt i had and it was still no good... i just wasnt sure if there was something internally i could mod/tweak...

thanks tho id always prefer a second opinion
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Pretty sure you're screwed bro... Sucks. But graydiggy is right, unless you're gonna try to fix it yourself.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dmiles053:
thanks for the insight lol i need an upgrade anyway :crying:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
Not sure if this will apply... but I had my phone go crazy where it would charge but as soon as I took it off the charger it would give me that ( battery low, connect charger ) and shut off. But in my case it would boot when plugged in. I went into recovery and wiped the battery stat stuff and it fixed it... probably different situation then what you're looking at but thought I'd throw it out there..

Same Issues On jellybean 4.2 And Above

Hi, I got the same problem with the new Jellybean 4.2 issues that stops me from using the 4.2 jellybean or the 4.3 jellybean's rom.. I searched all the thread and no solution for it.. It's due to the emulater sd card and the gameloft games or whatever games that stores data on the sd card can't read the file source.. hope this will be fix soon.. We should wait patiently :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bazzietuk:
Hi,

I'm trying to sort out a friends Viewsonic Viewpad 10E tablet. It kept failing to connect to my home wifi signals (I have two separate connections) so I did some searching and found the official update to ICS for the tablet. Managed to flash it by following Viewsonics procedures and still had a few issues with the wifi. I get it connected to one of my Wifi's but it's so slow it's unusable. I've played with the settings on the tab I can find and the routers settings and nothings helped. It either times out loading a page, even google.co.uk can take 5 minutes to load the search page but afterwards a search takes seconds but when selecting a link to view a page it seems to just freeze up. The blue bar (in the default browser) gets to around 8% and doesn't seem to move then eventually times out, I've had it go up to about 70% after 10 minutes once before timing out. The info on the wireless is saying it's connected at 65mbps.

I've done a factory reset, don't wipes by going into the root menu (the tablets rooted by the way as I installed a custom ICS version on it that was pre-rooted).

Can anyone suggest anything that can solve this issue please? Surely it shouldn't be that slow on wireless.

Also does anyone know if there's a modified version of JellyBean for the Viewpad 10E or one that will work on the 10E?

Thanks.

Baz.

I'm on ARHD 20.1 and I would love to have a cleaner look on my lockscreen and remove, the clock as well as the defaults apps which are in my dock. It used to be you could edit and choose the apps that are displayed in the lockscreen but now i can only edit the wallpaper.

Any ideas ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllAboutTheCore:
The only way to remove the apps on the lockscreen is to use a different launcher and remove all apps from the dock in Sense before switching to the 3rd party launcher, or, don't have any apps in the dock if you want to use Sense. With regards to the clock on the lockscreen, the only way to remove it is to use ViperOne ROM which has an option to disable it by way of a built in Mod (which I did ask the Dev about releasing it as a standalone Mod as I don't want to use Viper, I had no reply though) ... The other workaround is to delete HTCLockScreen.apk and use the default, Android lockscreen, this has issues though such as having to unlock to answer a call, no message notifications other than in the notification pulldown and same goes for missed calls ... The one positive though is you would do away with the weather and the apps on your lockscreen, and, btw of running some command in terminal, you can enable the ability to have different widgets such as cLock which lets you change colours and depending on your wallpaper, would allow for the possibility of having no clock (purely by having, for example, a black wallpaper and setting cLock up so that the fonts are black, this would essentially hide the clock from your lockscreen.

I use Apex Launcher but I edited a lot of apk's icons manually and they are incorporated into my ROM, same with Mods. I edited icons, menus, alsorts lol to get it set up right and flashable in one go rather than flashing loads of different Mods, it looks the same on Sense does mine btw as the icons in my dock are actually edited right in the apk rather than just chaging them on Apex ... It looks like this:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nafiganado:
Hi,

is it really impossible for the moment to have a normally-working lockscreen or "no lockscreen", that does not eat the battery on HTC One?

I have noticed by "OS monitor", that even if I set "HTC no-lockscreen" active - idlescreen process keeps accessing my phone constantly and eating the battery, because it accesses WeatherProvider all the time! I don't want to use weather at all while my phone is locked and besides, I have a third-party Elecon HD weather app that I do use.

When in my custom ROM I set AOSP lockscreen as active - I have to unlock my screen on incoming call and alarming, as described here.

Just want to make sure: no any solution for the moment - to MAKE HTC lockscreen not to access weather service to save battery OR to customize side-lockscreen so, that it would auto-unlock my phone when alarming or incoming call?

I recently updated my i9300 to paranoid android to 3.97 and I'm having two issues... First one is that apps that have border ads down the bottom.. Facebook.. Cheeseburger.. Astromanager etc if you take your finger Off the screen the screen turns black with only the ad showing..... The other issue is that the screen brightness can't decide if it's full of low. You press the power button the lock screen comes on Instantly dims.. Doesn't matter if light Meter is covered or light shining on it.. Disabled all power options.. Auto brightness is off... Tried lux app set all to 100% still dims.. When you run it after the screen dims it shows still being 100% touch the maximum and it comes back again.... Anyone have ideas. Googled ads but came up with nothing for black screen issue... Tried other solutions for the brightness issue still no luck.

Due to lack of graphic driver on 4.3, the black screen thing could appear. There are two+ solutions:

1. follow this step by dontwannabehere

2. Install PA 3.99 Unofficial build.

for your first problem: the glitches should have been solved with newest cm sources. But look in your build.prop if you have the entry "hwui.render_dirty_regions=false" if yes then change it to "debug.hwui.render_dirty_regions=false" without the " " )

for the second problem I cannot help you, as I am not using paranoid. Look if there is an update or ask in the paranoid Q&A thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1887819 (you could also have asked there your questions ;) )

EDIT: sorry. I am ALWAYS to slow in writing aaargh :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akoli:
Appreciate the quick response... I tried the build.prop editing and this is where it got interesting... I cant edit it ... I've tweaked in the past with ES file explorer or root explorer but on this occasion the apps wont allow it ...does not allow the changes to be saved.... checked the root and thats fine, busybox is installed and working fine... my workaround was to tweak build.prop of the 3.97 rom of PA and apply it it from recovery.... this seems to have fixed the black screen in apps... so thanks for that.

I also just grabbed the 3.99 nightly of PA and build.prop already has the change applied, applying now.... result seems the brightness quirk is still there ... I tried the android sensor app and the lux settings seem to be correct so the light sensor is performing as expected the brightness is just not doing what its told... even if I set it to automatice brightness change the sensitivity and apply 100% to all different lux settings it just ignores it and dims the screen regardless... !!

Hi!

I've recently bought this amazing small WLan-adapter from Spectec and installed it on my Magician (O2 XDA mini; ROM 1.12.01, German; Radio 1.13.00). This was quite difficult because Spectec's current drivers use a hardcoded installation path for its WLan-Utility (app was copied to \Windows\Start Menu\programs instead of the localized version).

Anyway, I've managed this issue and my Magician successfully connects to my APs now and I'm also able to browse my network shares with Resco's FileExplorer. Of course, one of the first things I've tried was to play some movies which were located somewhere in my network with TCPMP and I soon realized that the network bandwidth is horrible slow!

To test the effective throughput, I've copied a large file from a network drive to my Magician's internal storage (again, using the SMB-protocol in FileExplorer) and found out, that I'm only able to transfer about 70 kilobytes per second!

Yes, I know that those small SDIO-cards can't be compared to fullblown PCI-cards but I really guessed, the bandwidth should be at least 300 kilobytes per second. Spectec includes a test chart in their user manual which also shows RX rates between 2.4 and 2.8 Mbits/sec ... but for me, it's as low as 0.5 :cry:

Am I doing something wrong here? I'm getting neither Tx errors nor Rx CRC errors, the signal strength is about 50% and the link quality ranges between 95% and 99%. Status monitor shows me an 11 Mbps TX rate and my Magician is the only wireless-station connected to the AP.

I've tried two different APs, both allowing .11b and .11g clients. The only problem I could imagine is that I've used WPA-PSK rather than WEP on both APs ... but I've always thought that encryption wouldn't affect performance :(

Any ideas?

.ox
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] rjtd:
Believe me, encryption is a heavy task for a processor like the s100's bullverde.

You should get higher rates without it. But I don't know if they will be near 300.

You should give it a try.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oxident:
Thanks for your answer!

Okay, I thought, encryption would be done entirely within the interface itself.

Do you think, WEP128 is easier to handle than WPA-PSK (with TKIP)?

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] ampda:
Not sure if this will help but I'm using a modified Wi-Fi Driver for the E300 Wi-Fi card.

I tested the transfer rate, see the attached image.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] DidelisS:
ampda,

Could you post link or files of this E300 cracked driver.

Thanks
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] ampda:
Here you go 1 x Modified E300 driver to use with the SPECTEC Wi-Fi card & 1 x Wi-Fi Companion.

:)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] DidelisS:
Thanks

Do you have some more experience with Spectec card, like I have problem that can’t properly to install this card on my Magician. Before it has worked so well, but after Wisbar Advance 2 installation it stopped operate. I has tried hard reset and different ROM’s installations but unsuccessfully, WLAN tool by Spectec do not starts and Wi-Fi cards do not works (on other devices it works well).

Once before I had same problem after vBar installation on my Magician and hard resets and reinstalled ROM’s do not helped, but after installation of Socketcom Wi-Fi tool my Spectec wi-fi waked up and has operated till Wisbar Advance 2 installation. :evil:

May be there could be solution with some registry tweaks or else :?:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] ampda:
No I haven't had experience with SPECTEC and Wisbar or vBar. I haven't had any issues with the above E300 driver installed on mine and my wifes Magician (xda Mini)

You don't need to install Wi-Fi Companion for the E300 driver to work, you can just install the Mod'd E300 Wi-Fi driver.

There are registry hacks that need to be done if you have already install the standard SPECTEC drivers which are here (There were in German so the translation may be out). I did a hard reset and install the E300 driver from scratch.

Registry Mods to uninstall factory SPECTEC drivers

1.) Remove the SPECTEC Wi-Fi Card

2.) Soft Reset

3.) Uninstall the SPECTEC drivers via the standard "Remove Programs". You might have to deleted the following files by hand:

\Windows\WLAN11b.dll

\Windows\nuiodll.dll

\Windows\PCANDIS4.dll

\Windows\langSC.dll

\Windows\Start Menu\programs\WLAN.exe

The following registration keys need to be deleted:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Cu stom\MANF-02FE-CARDID-2128-FUNC-1"

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apps\Spectec SDIO WLAN-11b Card"

4.) Soft Reset

Done

Let me know if it works
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] gazzrenn:
great stuff ampda, i've installed those and they're working great. 8)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oxident:
I've also tried the E300 drivers a few days ago using the registry hack ampda described. In fact, the driver and the supplied utility are much better than the Spectec ones but I've encountered two serious problems:

- The nice looking GUI sometimes indicated 0% signal strength when there should be at least 30% available (as stated in the site survey).

- GUI is sometimes asking for a key/serial when you try to open the WLan-Companion

@ampda:

Your screenshot shows an effective bandwidth of 33kbps? Wow, that would mean your throughput is even worse than mine using the original spectec drivers ...

.ox
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] rjtd:
Greets,

I think there is 32KBps (notice the uppercase B), so that means 256kbps.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oxident:
... sorry, my fault :wink:

But even 256kbps would be very slow compared to my initial tests (~560kbps). I'm still confused on how Spectec managed it to achieve transfer rates greater than 2MBit/s with every tested AP :?

I'm going to test several driver/AP/encryption combinations. Does anyone know a good network benchmark application for WM2003?

.ox
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] SomeJoe:
The results you are getting are about the same as I get (using WPA-PSK) so I don't think there is anything you are doing wrong.

However, belief it or not, the SPECTEC is still FAR superior to the SANDISK 256 + WIFi. With that card I was only able to get a througput of about 300 kbit/s (32 KB/s). With the SPECTEC I get about 2.5 times that.

Testing the Sandisk, my conclusion was that the SD Bus of the Magician is seriously lacking in throughput. There is an interesting story on Tom's Hardware about exactly this problem.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] SomeJoe:
Just tried your modded drivers ampda. Thanks for the hack! Works great. For those testing the performance, make sure not to have the stats graph running as that greatly influences throughput. I justed tested throughput using a website and I got 85KB/s with these drivers. About the same as with the original Spectecs.

Also, these drivers interfere with Hitchhiker, Wifigraph and Wififofum so if you can't do without those, use the original Spectec drivers.

But the Wi-fi companion should be more than adequate in most circumstances so I can certainly live without those utilities!

Once more, thanks ampda!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oxident:
Thanks for your comparison! So it looks like I have to be quite happy owning this Spectec-card instead of SanDisk's :wink:

I've just switched to WEP128 in order to see if it would make a difference ... but it didn't. Throughput stays around 70-80 kilobytes/sec while copying a large file from a network share to my Magician's internal storage (yes, I know that the process of writing data to the flash memory also affects performance).

So it seems that everybody here's quite happy with SocketCom's driver. Are they really stable? As I said before, I've seen some strange problems about the wrong signal strength indicator and the WLan-Companion asking me for a serialnumber ...

.ox
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] ampda:
Well as I said earlier I used both the SPECTEC drive and the E300 driver and both worked with no problems.

I like to try just about anything at least once.

I also use Wififofum and no issues arisen. The data rate I posted was copying 5 jpg images from my wireless LAN to the /Storage on my xda.

I'm going to test both drivers like this,

1. Hard Reset

2. Install SPECTEC drivers only

3. Remove encryption from my network (Hope no ones watching)

4. Copy 1 large file say 5 MB

5. Time the copy process only as someone mentioned that running measurement graphs might musk the results.

6. Copy the file again monitoring with the SPECTEC tools (Can't remember if it has any.

7. Do the same again with the E300 driver and Wi-Fi Companion.

As you can see I like to try and kill my Mini doing useless tests and trials, (but that’s why we use these forums, to play) :roll:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] gazzrenn:
Please excuse, but i'm not that technical....i have the spectec card, and had the spectec drivers installed.

I downloaded the drivers from this thread, and uninstaled my spectec drivers.

Soft resetted and installed the drivers supplied here. Soft resetted again, and all seemed well. The Wi-Fi companion was working ok, and i was able to connect to my LAN.

I didn't however, do the registry things also posted here. Do i HAVE to perform that to totally remove the spectec drivers ?

Sorry for the question, my knowledge is dwarfed on this forum.
