[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xBeerdroiDx:
it's my opinion that every user should have a micro sd card. i dont understand why anyone wouldnt pay $10 to have their nandroids, rom, kernel, etc stored safely on a separate piece of media. again, my opinion.

you are wanting to change android versions here in addition to changing ROMs. when you change ROMs, you can just wipe data/factory reset and wipe both caches. when you transition from one version to another, in this case from 4.2.2 to 4.3, you need to format /system and i highly recommend to format /data. this will alleviate headaches down the road and give your device a great, clean point to start from. if you're going to commit to placing a new OS on your device, commit to doing it the best way possible. having a micro sd card will keep all your files safe during these full wipes.

cheers

You should always wipe data/factory reset and format /system when flashing a new ROM.

You will not lose nandroid backups or anything else stored on internal storage. Those things are not stored on /data or /system.

Advise and help please.....

Have been searching forums for answer but no success....

Many users seem to have a problem with the 2gb of allocated internal memory for apps. Lucky patcher gives a temporary solution.

Question -is there a simple way to change the allocated 2gb of space, perhaps by changing the partition size?

(I used to have a tab2 7" ics -I seem to remember there was an option on the stock rom to "swap" the internal memory allocation.)

Have read many posts about swapping external and internal sd, this isn't really a solution, just a work around.

Also read posts for note 7000 but not sure how to do this to our 8000 as I'm a relative noob.

Thanks.

Hello people,

I have got an HTC Desire HD with an defective approximity sensor.

So during a call the screen doesn't get locked and things that should not be pressed are getting accidentally pressed.

Is there any solution for this problem available?

I am considering to just automaticly lock the screen as soon as a call is in progress.

Thank you!

Regards,

Arthur
[Android General] 8200:
There is an app called "Call Screen Lock" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.duckbonecallguard

The app locks the screen with it's own locking schematic. But the buttons of the phone are still not locked.

So this is not a complete solution :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sfhub:
A few days ago, an associate of mine came to me and said his touchscreen worked great out of the box, but then he rooted and the touchscreen became very erratic.

I said no way, you must have played with some JSS15J custom ROM or did the OTA upgrade. He said absolutely not and showed me his version was still JWR66N.

I was still a bit skeptical thinking maybe he had the unit connected to the usb cable when he tested before or was holding the tablet in his hands.

After more "research" (I'm understating how involved this was) I found out he was actually right. *Indirectly*, rooting did mess up his touchscreen.

It wasn't root or SuperSU that did the damage. It was that the process to install root involved running TWRP 2.6.0.0 (which he didn't even flash onto the recovery partition, choosing instead to boot directly into memory)

I don't know if any of you noticed the first time you ran TWRP, but there is some long 15-20 second pause before it comes up the first time, but on subsequent starts, it comes up right away.

I found out what is happening during that pause is your touchscreen firmware is being upgrade to JSS15J levels. It isn't TWRP doing the upgrade. It is because TWRP bundles in the JSS15J kernel which then does the upgrade underneath the hoods.

As an aside, if you run the latest (as in released today) TWRP 2.6.1.0, you will get upgraded to JSS15Q level multi-touch firmware.

This also explains a LOT of confusion with people saying they were on JWR66N and still have lots of multi-touch issues with others saying JWR66N was perfect and there were no issues.

It is quite possible, for the people having issues on JWR66N, while they thought they were on JWR66N because they never ran any ROM nor did the OTA, they might have just run TWRP (or possibly CWM, I haven't checked) and from the standpoint of the touchscreen they were placed at JSS15J levels even if their ROM was JWR66N.

Now, I am not blaming TWRP or saying it is broken. The issue is with the touchscreen firmware from the manufacturer. It just so happens in this case, TWRP is the messenger. So don't shoot the messenger (which includes me)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sfhub:
I suggest you try this post

Take that multi-touch! Fix and lock in what works for YOU regardless of updates
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] anantk1965:
BIG Thanks to you for resolving the mistery. Just flashing latest TWRP version 2.6.1.0 improved the touchscreen response dramatically for me.

Now the question is in case Google comes with with new firmware for Touchscreen, how do we make it in sync with TWRP? Is it not TWRP will always override the Touchscreen firmware bundled with it (right now JSS15Q level multi-touch firmware) even if we flash new Google official firmware?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sfhub:
Won't be an issue (at least not in the way you think), according to Google/Asus, newest your tablet has ever encountered always wins.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] MasterElwood:
Flashed 2.1.1 but still some problems.

How can i check if i have the right (newest) touchscreen-firmware?

Thanx in A.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sfhub:
reboot phone

adb shell

su -c "dmesg | grep 0x3029"

A042 is newest (JSS15Q/JLS36C) but isn't necessarily the "right" touchscreen firmware for your tablet.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] cowabunga:
Something like this???

[ 1.866058] [ektf3k]:[elan] __fw_packet_handler: firmware id: 0x3029

[ 1.868560] [ektf3k]:The firmware was version 0xA042 and id:0x3029

And what is the 2.1.1 you guys talking about?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sfhub:
I don't know what 2.1.1 he was talking about. I figured it was a typo and he meant 6.1.0.0 twrp.

Your kernel has the A042 firmware so it is from JSS15Q or JLS36C. This is just a comment on the kernel. You might be running a different version of the ROM.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] cowabunga:
Just this past weekend I loaded twrp 2.6.1.0 and I flash every official CM10.2 nightly that shows up (from get.cm); so currently running the cm-10.2-20130905-NIGHTLY-flo nightly. So between them I must have landed A042 somehow.

You'll be better off than trying to follow your current plan of attack.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] adit9989:
1.Boot in recovery, you will see the version 2.6.0.0

2.Check ..\WugFresh\Development\data\Recovery_Custom\TWRP what file you have in,most likely is the old one, named openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-flo.img)at least it was yesterday with Wug up to date, it may change soon.If this is the case, go to 3, if you already have a newer version go to 4.

3.Download from TWRP site the latest one (openrecovery-twrp-2.6.1.0-flo.img in fact is 2.6.1.1 after flashing) and copy it in ..\WugFresh\Development\data\Recovery_Custom\TWRP folder (and delete the old one you have already there).

4.In WugFresh just do again "Root and flash recovery "(check the box). You will get the new recovery installed (just did that).Boot in recovery and check the version to be sure.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jjmai:
If I update TWRP with GooManager, does that also update to JSS15Q-level touchscreen firmware?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sfhub:
2.6.0.0 -> jss15j

2.6.1.0 (2.6.1.1) -> jss15q

Once the version goes up, it doesn't come back down.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] macaumen:
Does that means I just need to flash JSS15Q kernel after flashing recovery and it will be solved?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] sfhub:
That will get you the JSS15Q touchscreen software.

Whether it "solves" your issue, makes it worse, or has no effect will depend on which touchscreen variant you have.

If you find it makes things worse, you will not be able to just restore the JSS15J kernel to go back (nor use TWRP 2.6.0.0). You can flash them and they will boot fine, just your touchscreen software will not go back.

You will need to see this post for a solution:

Do you mean that once the touch software is updated, it will not be able to downgrade by flashing previous kernel (or TWRP)?

I updated to JSS15Q at the very beginning. Followings are my steps:

1. Grabbed factory image and restore to JSS15Q completely

2. Flash TWRP 2.6.0.0 (2.6.1.x is not available at that time)

3. Root

4. Flash back to stock recovery

5. Flash JSS15Q kernel

If I understand correctly, I am on JSS15Q touch software, right?

Hey everyone,

I have a cracked and blacked screen on a Galaxy S. It turns on, vibrates, and makes noise when the USB is connected.

The phone has files I am trying to recover, which is an issue because the phone was not in debugging mode when it was smashed.

I put the phone in recovery/download mode and tried to ADB to recover the files. ADB will not recognize the phone and kies says "Unsopported connection mode alert" (but does recognize the phone)

Am i missing something here? The phone can use ADB while in recovery mode right? Any help is greatly appreciated and I did a fair amount of searching and couldn't come up with much... Thanks in advance!

Well, I was just another idiot to root my phone without knowing what I was doing. I know, you guys get a million of these a day from some idiot who decided "Hey, rooting should be fun". The rooting process was rather simple and I accomplished it quite easily. Well, when I went to flash my rom my phone restarted during the process and has been blank ever since. I lost I am not able to enter into download mode or recovery mode-- the only sign of life that I have had from my phone is a red light when it is plugged in via usb without the battery.

When I connect my phone via usb my computer chimes as though the phone is connected, but picks it up as: Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008

Odin does seem to pick it up but either gets stuck in setup connection when I have attempted to flash my stock rom, or gives me an error saying that it can't open the serial port.

When I attempt to go into download mode while connected via usb the computer also makes a connect and disconnect noise (I do realize that I should be attempting download mode before connecting to my usb, it was just one of the many things that I have tried)

I have read over various forums, found numerous possible outcomes, and I am just about at my wits end. I comprehend that my phone is probably a goner and that jtag may be my only option. Writing here was my very last resort, but I just don't see any other option.
