Not Right!!!

Xiasma: This is very wrong indeed. I've got access to the jasjar and Pro and neither one displays what you mentioned on yours. The procedure you described for both types of resets is correct. Try one more time holding down the 2 soft keys '_' for half a second then whilst holding them down push the stylus in the soft reset hole in at the back of the device (if in laptop mode).

If you still don't get a hard reset, I'm quite certain you have a faulty unit.

Let us know how you get on :?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xiasma:
Thanks, your reply is very much appreciated. Well, looks like it's a faulty unit, then. It doesn't really affect my day-to-day use, so I'm tempted to keep it until there's an official rom upgrade, RAM hike or something :wink:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
have you tried turning the power off (using the...er...power button!) before poking at the reset button...see if that makes any difference?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mackaby007:
Any joy with your MDA Pro hard or soft resetting?

xiasma: Have you had any luck with your MDA Pro either soft or hard resetting? I'm interested in knowing for personal reasons also, as I have had to exchange 2 units with t-mobile already, due to what I believe is a very buggy ROM, but I could be wrong and it could be something else. :?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] an-_-dro:
Hi all... :laugh:

This is my first post . currently i'm thinking of changing color instantly, because on ICS we can change font size instantly (small, med n large) n i thought it can be add "color code" to each option. just because for me, option Small and Large is useless so i decide to change the value Small n Large to 18.0 (same as Medium value).

These value in SemcGenericUxpRes.apk > dimens.xml :

<dimen name="semc_text_size_large">18.0sp</dimen>

<dimen name="semc_text_size_medium">18.0sp</dimen>

<dimen name="semc_text_size_small">18.0sp</dimen>

value modified to same as Med (18) and that value can be found in FrameworkRes.apk aswell and i also modified that.

Then Styles.xml in folder Value from both file, i also modified these line:

<style name="SEMCTextAppearance.Small.Secondary" parent="@style/SEMCTextAppearance.Small">

<item name="android:textColor">#ffffa500</item>

</style>

that for Small, Med and Large also modded with diferent color code.

already finishd and recompiled but if i change the font size, the size of font still changing (it supposed to be unchange because ALL the value has changed to 18 right?) and the the color also remain same :eek:

So i wanna ask (or request if anyone would help). Do i have to change other value in other file? :laugh:

The basic idea is to change the font size with the color font also (but in this case i dont wanna change the size of font ofcourse). Thanks in advance.

Sorry for my terrible english..cheers :victory:

This problem started happening two days ago, first i had some sound and cracking noise. Then it went dead. Strange thing is that sound works for a couple of seconds if I suck it(literally lol). So is there any way i can fix it myself before going to the service centre?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super Chimp:
I have read a few comments saying it reminds people of an enlarged GS2. Now the GS2 I could never get on with from an ergonomics viewpoint, it was just too square & angular for my comfortable use, much preferred the curves of the GS3 in this respect. So I was wondering do owners of the Note 3 think it's a fair comparison to compare it to the GS2 on this aspect?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoneXDA:
You need not to worry about the shape, it's GS4-like, you need to worry about it's size cause it's huge compared to the GS2.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueChris:
For me is great that is like a s2 because I waited too long for a bigger Samsung like my s2 with stylus and full hd screen, my prays were listened in the other part of the world

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super Chimp:
I saw one today, but couldn't get hold of it as it was in a case, but size wise I can see what you mean as it really is a small tablet rather than a large phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madpete:
It doesn't feel any bigger in the hand than the Note 2 did to me, but it does feel much lighter! I actually prefer the squared off corners too (s2 homage). :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super Chimp:
Is it easier to use one handed than the Note 2, which I found not that great in this respect?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madpete:
I wouldnt say its much easier to use one handed no, but that is mainly due to its screen size. But it is quite noticeably lighter and a touch slimmer, so it is easier to handle....if that makes sense.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sush143555:
it is similar to the gs2

i had a look at the GN3 in the at&t store ,basically am a huge fan of note series but when i saw the GN3 it looks like the enlarged version of

GS2.it looks more cheap than the GN2.personally i feel that regrading note 3 design.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Cptnodegard:
I just got an S3, and was excited about the ability to use wireless charging. While looking for QI gear on eBay, I ironically stumbled across an item that will add that very same feature on my old SII, without any permanent hardware mod needed.

The item in question is this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/200963522572?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

It's basically a QI charging inlay thing that has a very tiny microUSB connector, allowing you to connect it to essentially anything that charges via microUSB. I bought one just to try it out, and sure enough, it works like a charm with my old S II. I have a cheap (but great) TPU case on my S II, and the QI inlay fit absolutely perfectly between the case and the phone's actual back cover.

I used the SII for more than a year and a half, and I frankly hope that this was just invented a few weeks ago, as I hate to think that wireless charging for my S II was $16 away all that time >.<

Hey, *thanks* so much for this, it is just about exactly what i was looking for (and not able to track down on the net). Much appreciated and can't wait to try it out on my SGS2! :P

Where can I get the charging pad to lay it on? It's not in the link :(
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Cptnodegard:
QI is a standard. Throw a rock and you will hit a compatible charger : p

Thanks, this was very useful info.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] caliber2001:
Will it work with PowerMat charging pad or I need to buy new one?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Cptnodegard:
It's for the QI standard, so if PowerMat is QI, it will work. If not, it wont

With "Android Tuner Free" you can see the incoming mAh when charging (at battery stats).

With standard wallcharger from samsung I get ~640mAh

Does anybody got the incoming mAh stats about wireless charging?

Anyway, I think cable is better because you can move and use your phone.

the wireless charging is ~600mAh
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZCochrane:
Hiya,

just got my hands on an Optimus L7 LG-P700. Running the stock 4.0.3. Succesfully synced my old Google contacts to the L7, but now if I want to add a new contact, the default contact type is "Phone". I'm liable to forget changing it to "Google" every time I add a new contact, is there any way to select "Google" as default contact type?

Alternatively, are there any third-party Contacts manager apps that would let me select "Google" as contact type once and for all?

Thanks!
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArjunrambZ:
you are telling about syncing a new contact to google account,, but i dont get it every time,,may b u can check the account section in settings
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZCochrane:
Well, yeah, I can do it manually, every time I add a new contact, I can choose "Google" from the drop-down menu. If I choose Google as contact type, it'll sync automatically as soon as I save it. But I was hoping to be able to tell the contacts app to choose "Google" contact type, so I don't have to change it manually every time I add a contact. I've looked in the settings but I can't find the option. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rossida:
hey after my gs3 got destroyed i just bought a gs4. ive been trying to look up a way to root for this and found out that i can only root on the VRUAME7 firmware which was pre-installed. is there a way to go back to an older firmware and root and install custom roms. really disappointed that i cant right now since the newest firmware is installed. thanks for the responses a head of time. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] prstorero:
No all older firmwares are black listed. You will just have to wait for ss to be fully ready, it shouldn't be long now.

Safestrap is pretty much good to go. I have ME7 running Safestrap with Hyperdrive with Cobalt theme and custom dialer and keyboard. Great setup. Just read the forums and make sure you have the procedure down. It's pretty simple.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rossida:
I want to be running carbon rom on the gs4. does safestrap allow u to install custom roms? or should i just wait until the bootloader is unlocked which is hopefully soon!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mxgregg:
Yes you can install custom roms, That's what Hyperdrive is. With Safestrap it just creates another slot to install the new rom on. I don't see Carbon on the list of roms that work with Safestrap. You might want to try Hyperdrive. It's real nice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rossida:
how long is it expected for a normal root with unlocked bootloader? i think ill just wait until that is released. i saw the bounty is cloes to 4k which i hope makes people work harder xD
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Obsidian_soul:
I would root and go with safe strap because I think this bootloader is locked the same way as the moto phones which means it can not be unlocked.

From my Hyper drive powered S4 OC with ktoons
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mxgregg:
I agree. Why not root now and enjoy your phone and if someone does unlock the bootloader you can try that too. Safestrap is pretty slick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rossida:
so even to use safestrap u have to be rooted? sorry i didnt do my hw on this. apologies for all the noobish questions
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mxgregg:
Yes you have to be rooted. Rooting this phone is really simple.

Root: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2380325

Guide to install Safestrap: Copy the ROM, SS app and Hashcode's fix ZIPs into your external SD (for convenience).

In rooted stock, install SS.

Run SS, grant root, hit "Install Recovery".

After recovery is installed, Reboot into Recovery from the SS app

If you hit reboot normally, hit the MENU button for Recovery when you see the safestrap screen at boot

Do NOT wipe anything.

Select Boot Options, select the first ROM slot.

Select 1GB / 2GB / 3GB depending on how much you have left on your internal SD. You can rename too

NOTE: If you do not have have enough space it may not let you select certain options. It will tell you the space on the screen

Create slot (may take 5 mins)

Since the slot is brand new, no wiping required.

Go to Install, pick the ROM ZIP file from you ext SD card

Add more ZIP, pick Hascode's ME7 kernel ZIP file (IMPORTANT)

Process with installation.

At the end of AROMA installation, make sure to DESELECT the "Reboot" option [This is key!!]

With the Reboot option NOT SELECTED press the Reboot button

As AROMA exits, Hashcode's fix ZIP will be flashed.

When that's done, hit Reboot System

Requests

Hi Ivan, I just wanted to thank you for the time you took to make this guide. You see, I'm from Argentina, and i bought this phone. It is excellent. The only problem I had, is that for example, I can use the phone all day without issues, but after a day or less, when i try to open an app, it just closes itself, and every app that i try to open does the same thing. The only thing that solves this is restarting the phone. Anyway, it isn't a big issue but it becomes a pain in the *** when you're trying to work. So after a few weeks, I reached the conclusion that it may be a problem with the stock ROM. In this post, you said that you were going to update the method to flash with the sotck rom, but you didn't. I wanted to know if you could help me with this, and to know if you had the same issue. Thanks for everything, and I'll be waiting for your answer ;)
[Android General] IvanSantosPT:
Hi JaxDrive, thank you for the opinion :D

I had some documentation to present in the school, so I didn't had time to do, but I will do in a few hours I think.

By the way, try to install this Launcher:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex

The stock Launcher had some bugs, and I think that would be because of the stock Launcher, so I've installed this, which it gives better look also!
[Android General] JaxDrive:
RE

Oh, sorry then for my bad aproaching to the topic haha :fingers-crossed:. Anyways, it's good to know that someone has the same phone as I do (only that I have the white version), and knows about programing, to help this noob to sort this issues out :B. Anyway, I already changed the launcher, because the stock one was buggy and ugly, but mostly ugly :laugh:. I'm currently using the Nova Launcher, which is pretty and works wonderfull. Like I said, the only problem that the phone has, is the apps closing themselves issue, which now became pretty annoying :(. I though that as you posted the method to have CWM recovery on our phone, if I'm able to get in my hands the original ROM of our phone, I can flash it, and hopefully fix this problem. But work at your own speed, I'm sure you have other things to care about besides this. So thats it, if you could provide the next tutorials about our phone, I would be very gratefull. Also I saw in one of your previous posts that you succesfully overclocked our processor, that would be an interesting feature too :D
[Android General] IvanSantosPT:
How to flash with stock ROM​

Be sure that you have CWM installed and the preloader drivers succefully installed!

Turn off your phone and start with CWM (Volume Up + Home + Power). Click in wipe data/factory reset and YES, the same for wipe cache partition and go to advanced. Now click in Wipe Dalvik Cache and do YES, the same for Wipe Battery State. Go back.

​

Open the SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1312.0.139 folder and open Flash_tool.exe.

Click on Scatter-loading button. Go to the 20130517_e2006_v89_jbla768_asx folder and select the MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt file. Be sure that you have all the options selected like in the print.

​

Now this is a very quick step! In the main CWM menu in the phone, click in reboot system now.

Now go to the Smart Phone Flash Tool window. When the Windows makes the hardware inserted sound, you must click in the Firmware -> Upgrade option. If you hear the sound of hardware disconnected before the tool does it job, you must restart your phone and do this again.

If the Flash tool flashed the cellphone successfully, it will auto boot as the first time.

This means that you did the trick!
[Android General] JaxDrive:
Dude, you're awesome :D. Many thanks for the tutorial and sorry for the time that I made you lose. I just found the link that you made for the ROM haha. I'm flashing it in a couple of minutes. I'll post some feedback when its done c:

Hey Ivan, what's up?. I managed to flash the stock ROM succesfully on the phone, after a few failed attempts. It loaded fine, but when it boot up, I found a problem, the camera apk isn't there anymore. I downloaded a new apk from the market, and to my surprise, I noticed that I could only see my front camera, and not the rear one. I tried a lot of apps, and none of them work, i'm scre*** dude T_T. Everything works fine, it's just that, one of the important parts of the phone is missing. Could it be possible that you help me with that if you have any experience with it?, i'm desperate.
