[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master M:
Dear Android experts in this huge & helpful forum

I have the big common problem related to EFS folder:crying:

When i received my note 2 (international) after my pervios mobile Galaxy S2 (which i have tried with it several roms without a problem), i wasn't aware about the EFS folder problem and IMEI and ..... so on.

After trying first rom without backing up my EFS, unfortunately i corrupt my IMEI and lost network and after 2 days search and trying nothing solve it until i went to private fix center which fixed it.

After the fix i make a backup the EFS with many backup tools on the forum and i was happy that i will be able try roms as i hope, but i found the truth was not :crying::crying:, every time i install any of the custom roms i keep have the (Out of service ) network problem.

The problem that i found that the IMEI number is right but serial number is 00000000, also the network name is right and signal is strength is displayed , but still (out of service).

I can fix the phone with only one way (install stock rom + Ariza patch) but when i use the same patch with the the custom rom it makes every thing unknown (IMEI,.......).

When i install the modem XXDME4 it solve the problem for unknown IMEI and unknowns but still the out of service problem :crying::crying:

Please anybody can help me in this bad problem?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master M:
So, if i reset flash counter and un-root the device but the IMEI still dynamic (as 0040056545) would they accept it??

I check from download mode that the counter is 0 and shows that the rom is official

Please Advice before the end of this year :rolleyes:

[Firefox OS General] tabstop:
Hi folks,

I listen to security related podcasts, and there seems to be a consensus that Firefox is a fairly exploitable browser.

The FBI used a Javascript exploit recently to attack the Tor browser which is based on Firefox.

Firefox ships with Java and Javascript enabled, both of which are common attack vectors.

For this reason I am very skeptical about a Firefox-based phone. I am curious, what measures if any has Mozilla taken to make Firefox more secure on phones?

Cheers.
[Firefox OS General] stepie22:
no offence, but name one popular browser that a lot of people use that can't be exploited in some way or ship with JavaScript enabled?

ps. java itself needs to be installed on its own, and a lot of websites have posted on how unsecure it is.

If the apk supports lower screen sizes( , which AFAIK is the case with LG apks), it works. Otherwise it can be resized to fit lower screen sizes/resolutions.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Banana Phone:
Well here is my Nexus 4

And here's one image I found on Google, http://www.google.com/url?sa=i&sour...BB-UUnhUYFO5TxAhQ7lNERog&ust=1381177598372209

So yea, are the sparkles supposed to be THAT visible? The ones that are pretty visible in my own Nexus are due to the flash, otherwise, they aren't that bright and visible. So is my phone okay?

Also, when I knock my phone "gently" on my hand for example, I do hear a rattling sound coming from where the camera is located, is that also okay? Pretty much between the front camera and the back camera, a little bit above the back camera.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biscuitownz:
Yes, the patterns are like that and the sound you hear is the camera's focusing mechanism. All normal.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1slow4G:
The rattle is most likely the Sim card assembly
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Banana Phone:
You mean the rattle sound would be audible when I'm using the camera or is a little thing that rattles when I gently knock the phone? I don't recall hearing that sound in my Galaxy S3.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biscuitownz:
It doesn't rattle when being used but it will when you knock on it, all of my previous phones made that noise.

[HTC One X+] Vivek Rishi:
I was prompted with a Software Update version 2.18.707.5 (Android 4.2.2 with Sense 5),

I downloaded the update,

The Update Package was downloaded to the Download folder in Internal SD Card,

In order to take the backup of the Update Package I accidentally moved instead of copying to another location,

After that I copied the package back to its original location which was the Download folder,

I ran the Update Check again to see if it detects the restored Update Package in the Download folder,

But it didn't and instead prompted me to download the Software Update again.

I don't want to download it again as I downloaded it using mobile data, also I don't have any other internet facility available other than that.

Is there anything that I can do besides downloading the entire Update again?

Moreover what precautionary steps should I take before running the Update like reset to factory defaults, etc?

Device details

HTC One X+ (India)

Android 4.1.1 (Stock/Official)

Never Rooted
[HTC One X+] siddharthanand:
Hi Vivek,

Make sure you backup all important data. I've had a couple of friends who updated their phone and then it did not restart. It gets stuck at the HTC logo after installing the update. So most importantly backup your data.

Also on a side note, if possible, could you please upload and share the OTA zip file which was downloaded?

Thanks.

bluetooth and wifi are 2 different things

you can get a network using bluetooth or you can get a network using wifi

your device have bluetooth internaly

but require a SDIO card to get wifi

not 100% sure where GPS comes into your question though
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] earlthepearl:
I helped a friend repair the glass on a Galaxy S3 (GT-i9300) and after getting it all put back together, the screen looks gray when it's powered off. It's hard to explain, but I've uploaded a video of it in action for you to see:

http://youtu.be/dy3qAD_YzXE

When the phone is turned off, the screen is black like it should be. But when the phone is powered on, and you turn the screen off with the side button, it looks gray and like it's still turned on. We used a heat gun to pull the cracked glass away from the lcd, and used a infrared thermometer to make sure we didn't get it too hot. Just looking for some ideas of what could be causing this. I'm hoping it will work itself out, but I have my doubts. Any thoughts on the matter are appreciated.

*edit*

I wasn't there when the screen cracked from being dropped, so I'm not sure if the phone was doing this after the drop, or just after we replaced the glass. I'll update as I find out more about its condition before being brought to me. The battery was dead when it got to me, and I didn't think to check the phone's functionality before starting the repair. I was under the impression everything still worked and just had a spider webbed screen from a drop.

[Sailfish General] tabstop:
Hi all,

Is there any chance to run Sailfish OS on a non-Jolla phone? I would prefer a bigger screen and I'd prefer to not wait for their phone.

Assuming that the drivers from Android are compiled for the same Linux kernel version as I want to run in Sailfish, they should be loadable.

So then it's just a question of whether Sailfish is written to use the same devices (in /dev) in the same ways.

Anybody know?

Cheers.
[Sailfish General] jsel:
First of all, Sailfish is not yet released to public, and most propably wont be before Jolla phone hits markets. So you can't get it before

Nobody knows yet, because nobody hasn't been able to have a look at it, since it hasn't been released. But I doubt that the kernel would match, since it doesn't even match on different Android phones. There are always some minor changes.
[Sailfish General] EnErGy[CSDX]:
Yes i think it will be possible run Sailfish on non-Jolla phone, anyway you should wait because there is no image for arm cpu in public.

in android devices in /dev very often is used from binary blobs.

and this blob compiled againts another libc called bionic and it is not compatible with glibc, but Jolla phone will use android drivers via special library.

Sailfish OS for Motorola XT910 ( Droid RAZR )

Well, the Sailfish OS runs on linux kernel thats for sure and soon it will have the capability to run almost all of the android apks, which means it can not be totally different form android form 'under-the-hood' so there is always some room to try it on your android devices.

I haven't really tried to explore Sailfish OS much, but if u do, plz tell me and I would like to do it on my phone (Moto xt910).

If you come across any guide for installing Sailfish OS on non-jolla phones, plz post the links here.
[Sailfish General] EnErGy[CSDX]:
running apk doesn`t mean anything, i can run apk on my windows 7.

internaly it is GNU Linux, not android.

you should understand that nobody care about your motorola or what ever device you own. 3.5 developers that can build nemo mobile image will not do it just because of your request.
[Sailfish General] tsaxda:
If I remember right the first demo shown of it was on a nexus phone. so of course it will run on android phone.
[Sailfish General] EnErGy[CSDX]:
can you give URL?
[Sailfish General] tsaxda:
I just remember seeing a video demo of it on youtube and the guy giving the demo said it was running on a galaxy nexus. I don't have the link but you could find it easily on youtube.

I must admit I really like this OS.. even if it is similar to blackberry 10 for some aspects.. if this os will be avaiable for rooted android phones, i will certainly install it on mine! ;)

I'd install it fast if my phone could get this (LG L5), but I think it's too weak on it. Maybe Sony Ericsson xperia neo would take this.

N9 arm port is here who starts porting?

since the N9 port of Sailfish OS is now available:

h**p://jollausers.com/2013/12/the-comprehensive-guide-to-port-sailfish-to-n9/

and the arm chipset in the N9 (OMAP3630) is equal to many Android devices like the Defy+ h**p://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMAP it would be nice to hear that someone begins with the porting to other Android devices. Hopefully also for my Droid 4 (OMAP4430).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neverone:
My girlfriend has this tablet:

http://arnovatech.com/products/g3/arn_7/specs.html?country=mx&lang=en

and about a month or two ago the charging port in it got broken, so i've sent the tablet to be repaired. the guys at the repair shop did a good job and replaced the usb port, and the tablet was working again correctly, and charging correctly.

until this afternoon when she installed this game: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.disney.aliceinwonderlandmobile.goo

the battery got quickly drained (nothing strange though, it is an older budget-friendly tablet), the battery got to about 5% and she put it to a charger. the tablet notified that it is charging, and it was plugged in for a couple of hours, during which she didn't use the tablet. after that couple of hours, the tablet still showed charging and still showed that it is at 5% of battery power.

another problem is that it started to shutdown/turn on itself. i brought it to my place and plugged in my charger, and it continued the same behaviour: i plug it in, the red led light glows, it turns itself on, and just by the time the system boots itself and i want to unlock the screen, the tablet turns itself off, and the red led indicator also turns itself off.

i googled the problem and found a lot of topics saying that the battery is completely drained and that it just needs to stay plugged in over night. i followed some instructions to completely turn it off (hold power buttons for 10-20 seconds) and then to plug it in and leave it that way for at least a couple of hours. but the problem is that after i did that, when i plug the tablet in, it shows a symbol of an empty battery with a triangle in it and an exclamation mark inside the triangle! the red led does not glow and the battery/triangle/! symbol shows only for a short time, and then the screen goes off.

is there any way to fix this problem?

i've read somewhere that i should enter recovery mode (the tablet was rooted when i bought it brand new from the store), and erase battery stats, but i can't do that because there aren't any volume buttons. the only button is the power button, and the reset button (inside a small hole).

i would hate to reset her tablet, because of all the data on it

please help and advise, anybody! :)

thanks in advance!

EDIT: ADDITIONAL INFO: i googled and found the same picture that i get when i plug the tablet in or try to turn it on:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neverone:
UPDATE:

I followed a friend's advice and plugged it in a charger with higher amperage. already after half an hour the tablet started to show first signs of life - instead of the triangle it started to show the charging animation. it ever started a power-up process (boot animation), but alas, shut itself off during the boot up process.

so i decided to leave it over night to make sure it got charged

this morning (after some 7 hrs), i tried to turn it on, and was surprised that the tablet gave no reaction at all! no animation, no battery symbol, nothing! :(

i plugged out the charger, and plugged it back in, and for a second, the red led lid up and then turned off. i tried to cautiously insert the charger cable, and found that at one position the led lights up, and the boot animation starts up, but only for about two seconds after what it shuts itself down once again.

is there any help to this devise at all? and any way to reach the data on it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spectrifyfunride:
Same Here

I am getting the same as you but I plugged it in for the first time in months and the battery is reacting like it just got a virus. Its not a virus because before the issue, I backed up all data and reset the device. So, its either the connector, cable or the internal battery itself.

When this post was posted, spectrifyfunride was running a trickle charge on their Arnova 7h G3. If it works for me, it will work for you.

I think I posted this in the wrong area. How do I move it from my phone
[General Questions and Answers] MrCabana:
I am coming from this thread and nobody could help me with this problem.

I have decided to update from Froyo to Jelly Bean 4.3 (passing by GB and ICS) and everything went smoothly at first. It worked for about a month.

One of these days, my wife decided to install a calendar app called Joter Calendar (or something like it). I remember she was messing with calendar colors and all. That same night, the battery went caput and the phone turned off by itself. In the next morning, I picked it up and turned it on and saw the screen was reddish. I then rebooted and it came back on all blueish.

I've tried almost anything to get it back in business since then. I wiped everything, repartitioned, reformated all available mounts (data, system, cache, dalvik, sdcard, ....). There's no way in hell to get JB to get rid of that blueish screen.

Tried several ROM's like cyanogenmod, helly bean, slim, pa. Lots of kernels too: devil, gear, semaphore, mackey. All of them has the same results.

Funny part is: if I switch back to GB, everything is showing fine. But if I install JB again, it comes blue again (even the cwm part).

Now a little detail. Whenever I turn on the phone, I see the kernel logo in perfect color for 1 second. After that, it refreshes itself and becomes that blueish color. That also happens when the phone is switched off and I plug in the charger. I see that white battery indicator for 1 second, then this indicator becomes blueish.

Since it's working fine on GB, I don't believe it's a hardware problem. It's more likely to be some partition/file keeping wrong settings for JB or Kernel that's surviving ROM flashes.

I've also tried to re-install that Joter app, just in case there were some color settings there, but I found nothing that could be causing this. Also, some cyanogenmod ROM's come with developer options to mess with dithering and 16-bit rendering. None of this helped.

Any help/suggestion would be appreciated.

Thank you.
