Any Help please ? ... I just want to know if my phone still can be fixed :(

did anyone heard of reviving a phone that doesn't turn on ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arco68:
If it can't be turned on (no download or recovery mode), then it's hard bricked and needs to be serviced. It needs to be fixed by either replacing the main board or using a jtag box to repair boot.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oualibadr:
Thanks for your response Arco ... dou you know if samsung repair center is supposed to have this jtag box to repair the boot?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arco68:
I don't think all of them have it. I had to send in my Galaxy W two times for the same problem, and both times they replaced the complete motherboard.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oualibadr:
okay, from what I saw when googling about this jtag box ... I must dispose of a very updated jtag box to fix my phone. I hope I'll find a repair center having this.

Thank you anyway!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosat:
You could try this. No harm trying since it looks like you'll have to send it in to Samsung anyway.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkJoker360:
if the phone can boot on download mode, you must flash debrick.img and stock firmware

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toko42:
Hi.

I had to factory reset my phone.

Now I want to make a new backup using Helum but the app keeps asking for the Desktop Backup Password.

I thought that this one should be reset (i.e. deleted) after a factory reset but I can't set a new one.

Is there a way to reset this without doing another factory reset?

Many thanks for your help!

Regards

toko42
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glitqueen:
fixed for me

Try leaving the current full backup password blank and just type your new PW and then confirm the new. This just worked for me...

If you already factory reset it then try leaving the current backup password blank and just type your new password and then confirm the new. This just worked for me...

Zeam Launcher. it's been my go-to Launcher for my GN1 for the past 20 months. i recommend it, give it a shot. seems like a lot of ppl have never heard of it.:good:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] chuko303:
Never heard of it? Maybe because that launcher has been around for more than 2 years sir. Lmao
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] babymatteo:
Or maybe because no one really likes the launcher.

Hello. Given that there is no app2sd for the Medal as yet, is there away to simply get the phone to treat the external sd as the main memory lock stock and barrel?

I've tried folder mounts with no luck. I know there's some talk of a Hong Kong ROM that had App2sd but it doesn't sound like it's that recent...

Guys, does Lightflow simply not work with CM 10.1.3? I have tried every setting known to man and no LEDs come on. Even doing the "All enabled LEDs test" flashes nada. If its a known not working issue, does anyone know of a Lightflow like app that works with CM 10.1? Thanks.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] famac!:
Looked harder and found that notification light under system was actually not enabled. Once check, all was well.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] famac!:
Guess i spoke too soon. Regular corporate email works but Gmail led notifications do not work despite being set in Light flow and enabled in Gmail itself. I still get the sound just no LED. Anyone have this working on their end?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cpudan80:
I'm using LightFlow on 10.1.3 (stable, from September 23) and it seems to work ok I have unique colors for almost every single app, so I'd definitely know if the light wasn't working. There seems to be no difference on CM 10.1.3 vs stock in my case. I'm using the paid version of LightFlow, and the only option I have enabled is "Reset Color Before Change".

Make sure you've enabled LightFlow under accessibility -- that's usually a culprit. I've also enabled the developer options in the OS itself, but I don't see how that would impact LightFlow.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] famac!:
My settings seem correct as everything works except Gmail LED. I have the free version of Light flow so i don't know if that is somehow limited though it worked perfectly when i was on stock.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cpudan80:
The new gmail has alerts for specific labels and stuff (at least in pro) -- are you sure you're attached to the right label? Also, not all of the colors work, but I think if the color doesn't work it just uses the closest color. I know the following work (although some of the colors aren't the exact shade you'd expect.):

Green

Red

Blue

Purple

Cyan

White

Yellow

FYI: When you quoted me I got an E-mail + LightFlow generated sound notification & light.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] famac!:
^^ Yeah the labels are set up correctly. I had it working perfectly when i was stock up until a few days ago. Even a reboot of the phone has still not fixed it. I am stumped.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisssj2:
OK I was restoring this phone by reflashing it stock + rooting for my own reasons.

So I restored my +- 200 apps with titanium backup.

When I start my phone normally all apps would be visible (and on occasion they are and work fine)

The missing apps for as far as I know are located on SD-card Internally (not the real ext sd card) I think this is known as USB storage? (i used move to the sd card in titanium (but we know its not the real SD-card) Therefore remounting the EXT - sd card has 0 effect.

Anyway I dont know why these apps wont continue to show! I cant even find them anymore in application manager

what I do notice in application manager is Greyed out apps that say com.xxxxx.xxxxx and There are quite a few of them I believe these are the missing apps.

How can I restore these greyed out apps? (notice sometimes they are working fine!)

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Delete them and restore with out data. Just the app. See if that helps.

I delete adobe flash player it was greyed out. Nothing changed? Restore with out data what u mean?

Go back to stock and restore apps with playstore. See if that helps

Some of these apps arent from playstore...I use blackmart too and modded google playstore. BUT this problem was before I installed this modded google play store so its not about that.

How would this help me?? I cant restore like 40 apps 1 for 1.. some have really weird name in storage too! hardly recognisable.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Same here mate but you can't restore apps and data with titanium bkup if you have used say 4.3 and you restore apps and data on 4.2.2 you will end up with problems. This is why I've said restore apps without data. Once restored reboot the phone and should be ok. That's what I do and have no problems
[HTC One S] bassilap:
I was hoping someone would have some insight regarding a problem I have using an MHL adapter with a DVI connector attached on.

I have this MHL adapter: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00827EGG2/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm using dvi adapter: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002JCQVW8/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And connecting it to this projector: http://www.amazon.com/Optoma-EP739-...TF8&qid=1381161207&sr=8-1&keywords=optoma+739

The projector doesn't have an HDMI cable so I thought i'd throw on an HDMI to DVI adapter to get around that.

I've used the HDMI cable and MHL adapter on other stuff before and they work great. I've used DVI adapter and HDMI cable to connect my laptop to the projector and that works too.

When I use the MHL adapter with the DVI adapter and connect it to the projector, my One S Screen becomes all scrambled and the projector detects a signal but it displays a blue or black screen or occasionally I see about half of the notification bar and the rest of the projection is the blue screen. Also, my phone freezes at that point and I have to force restart it.

My scrambled screen one s screen looks different every time, but something like this: http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/3894/img20110927034536.jpg

If the projector's manual will help, it can be found here: http://www.projectorcentral.com/pdf/projector_manual_2566.pdf

I'm running rooted stock rom.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

htc media link hd

did you try the htc media link?? i know its a bit expensive but i think that would be your best thing to try

you'll just need to connect the media link to your projector and use wifi to set everything up... no need for mhl and dvi connector
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Mart:
How good/bad is the WiFi built into the Exec? Is the range/strength as good as a laptop would be?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
IMHO it's nowhere near as good as my laptop. :(

My WiFi access point is downstairs raised on a shelf 1m below the ceiling of my office. When I'm lying in bed on the first floor of the house I'm about 6m away from the access point. The signal has to pass through two hollow wooden walls, a wooden floor and my wooden bedside cabinet. My Exec can see the signal but can't connect to it. My laptop has no problem at all and never drops its signal.

In the lounge I'm ~15m away from the access point and 3 walls away. WiFi on Exec is unreliable. Laptop is fine.

Not good. Battery was at 40% when I was trying this last night and 30% this morning. Don't know whether this makes a difference.

It'd help if I knew where the Exec's antenna is. In my laptop it's in the top corner of the screen so it's always raised nice and high off the desk away from any objects. Where is it in the Exec?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Mart:
Argh, that's terrible...why can't these designers just get it right? Sure it's smaller than a laptop, but so is a SD WiFi card...which brings me to my next question.

How does the built-in WiFi compare to an SD WiFi card?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
I have a JJ and a Nokia 9500. The Nokia's WiFi seems a little more sensitive but I think it operates at a lower data rate. I tested this at my local McDonalds by sitiing in the same place and using the JJ and Nokia and the Nokia picked-up the weak BT Openzone signal but the JJ did not.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mariom:
One of the problems with wifi is the haphazard nature of the effect the building has on the signal. I'm typing this on my xda exec on the first floor. My wifi router (a cheap chinese Origo) is two floors below in the cellar, through at least 1 radiator and a thick brick wall. I had to add a 5db antenna (ebay about £10) to get my laptop on there about 6 months ago, but that's fine with the xda. Remember after all that you're more likely to be using the xda for lighter stuff than your laptop anyway - ok, I haven't tried skype yet. The point is you might find that unacceptable speeds for your laptop are fine with you xda.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Mart:
I was really looking forward to using my XDA Exec with Skype and internet streaming radio. What sort of speeds do you get when up close to the WiFi access point?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] herpi:
Yep... can't agree more:My 9500 is far more sensitive but is unacceptably slow, so useless.

I did set the JJ Wireless settings/powermode to "best performance" But I have the same frustrations: not always connect. Where my Portege gives me a :"good" or "very good"

Same problems with bluetooth, but I will never do my JJ away though.

Huib
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mariom:
Do you know if there is an app that will tell me exact speeds as I test? I'm a bit hesitant about giving subjective impressions. If there's no app, pick a streaming radio station and I'll stream it for 10 - 15 minutes and tell you how many times it dropped and at what distance. Will that help?
[XDA-University] ron.gt:
Recently I have searched in xda a lot on this topic... but unfortunately no proper guide i got... :silly::silly: so i thought to put a small guide about this for those who are searching this like me...

I don't know if i am putting this in right place... i request to the moderators if this topic doesn't suite in this area please move it to the right place... :p:p:p:p

In cm10 or aosp based roms (4.2 onwards)... there is no background_holo_dark.png in framework-res/drawable-nodpi folder which used to be the black background image of settings background....so till 4.1.. it was easy to replace the black/dark background by replacing the png file with any of your choice using 7zip file manager.... :good::good::good:

but from 4.2 google has changed it's policy about this... so it is no longer changing the png because this black/dark background color is hard coded as gradient color in framework-res/drawable/background_holo_dark.xml. ..:(:(:(

To change this and revert back to the image format.... you need to edit the abovementioned xml file....

steps::

1) Use apktool to decompile ur framework-res.apk

2) Go to framework-res/drawable/

3) Open background_holo_dark.xml using notepad++

you can see these lines as quoted below::

4) Delete all the red Lines and replace with blue lines as shown here::

5) save the file

6) Now create any png file which you want to put as background... remember to keep the size of the png according to your screen display resolution (for an example.. my device's screen resolution is 540x960[qhd] ... so i created that png keeping image size 540x960) and rename it to background_holo_dark.png and put it in framework-res/hdpi or framework-res/xhdpi or framework-res/xxhdpi depending on your phone..

7) recompile your framework-res.apk

8) Done!!

Now you can copy the new framework-res.apk to /system/framework using any root file manager and set the proper permission... or else you can push this framework-res.apk to /system/framework using adb and set chmod 777... and reboot your phone... you are done.....!!!! :laugh::laugh:

[XDA-University] DonDizzurp:
APKtool wont recompile after changing the XML
[XDA-University] ron.gt:
post the errors or ss while recompiling apk...
[XDA-University] DonDizzurp:
I found if you

1. pull framework-res.apk

2. using 7-zip, delete background_holo_dark.xml

3. place background_holo_dark.png in the nodpi folder

4. push it back and change permissions to 644

it will work.. no need to decompile and mess with xml files
[XDA-University] ron.gt:
In that case u can only use image files... can't use gradient colors... using my method... u can always use image or gradient color whatever u feel good....

It's not working for my 4.2 rom.. I was able to decompile teh framework-res and then modify the xml and add the image then recompile it successfully. But then after flashing there was no change.. Still no background in settings.!:mad:
[XDA-University] DonDizzurp:
With 4.2 you can simply delete the background_holo_dark.xml file and put your background_holo_dark.png file into /drawable-nodpi

With 4.3 this wont work
[XDA-University] vejito:
That too didn't work.. What worked was modifying the style.xml file in res/values folder.
[XDA-University] DonDizzurp:
How did you do it? I followed a guide on XDA but it failed to compile.
[XDA-University] vejito:
Here's the process:

1. Decompile the Framework-res.apk

2. Copy the image you want to use as background named as background_holo_dark.png to res/drawable-nodpi/

3. Open the file: res/values/styles.xml

4. Find the line:

<item name="windowBackground">@drawable/screen_background_selector_dark</item>

5. Here replace the text "screen_background_selector_dark" with "background_holo_dark"

6. All done now recompile and push. ;)

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] takgeun68:
what are you guys getting? I ve pre-ordered for the 16gb but thinking to maybe switch to 32gb, for I ve heard 32gb is noticeably faster cuz of bigger storage Idk if that is true... This is my first time using android tablet, ditching ipad finally. I know there is an extended sd card option but still would you buy 32 gb for $50 more?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Itchiee:
32gb... Some of these games coming out are over 1gb each, and some are approaching 2gb. I like to have things installed and not have to do the install/uninstall shuffle. Plus to have space for other things. All Media and storage go on the 64gb micro sd card though.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Han Solo 1:
I pre-ordered a 16GB black from Best Buy, then changed my mind to a 32 GB white.

Best to have too much than too little.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Diogenes5:
They kind of want you to buy the 32gb version since the 16gb version is only 50 bucks less. That being said, I think it matters less on a tablet than on a phone because I always root my tablets. There's less downside from voiding warranty because my tablet is always safe and secure in it's case inside my bag while I'm on the run whereas my phone can be accidentally dropped at any time. That's just me though.

The faster speed from having a larger internal sd card is of somewhat miniscule benefit. For something like a 128gb and 256gb ssd, the improvement will be mildly noticeable but not so much on a tiny sd card. Get the one that fits your needs.

I really want a black one because I prefer understatement (don't want to get robbed too). So if I get a 32gb version, it will be because the 16gb version is only available in white in the states right now.
