[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Economistaterry:
My HTC One XL went on low battery and i plugged it on charge. Power outages meant the phone couldn't charge and when power came back on, I plugged it again on charge for about two hours. I tried booting the phone and the phone couldn't start, but the red light kept blinking even though it was unplugged from the charger. I pressed and held the power button for a while and turned it on again. It came on, but could not boot pass the "HTC quietly brilliant" screen, it kept restarting from that screen after it stays on for some seconds.

Next thing i did was to boot into bootloader. The bootloader was initially "Unlocked" but when the bootloader came up, it showed "LOCKED", which means the bootloader has gone back to locked all by itself. I tried unlocking the bootloader again, but when the unlocking warning screen shows up and i select "YES", it restarts and the "HTC quietly brilliant" screen keeps restarting. I tried factory reset from bootloader but the htc screen comes up and restarts from there.

The next thing i did was to look for an RUU. I couldn't find any, as most of the links were down. So i downloaded "RUU_EVITA_UL_ICS_40_S_Cingular_US_2.20.502.7_Radio_0.19as.32.09.11_2_10.105.32.25L_release_271865_signed" and I tried flashing from there, but the RUU loader could not load on the phone, could not even restart into the bootloader, as the HTC screen keeps restarting. RUU could not also be loaded from fastboot commands. I tried flashing a new kernel, but the phone doesn't allow the command to push the "boot" image file.

The phone was running on the official T-Mobile 4.2.2 Sense 5 which I updated OTA before unlocking the bootloader, and everything was working just fine, until the phones battery run low and the bootloader went back to locked by itself. Please help, as it seems all options have been exhausted. I have attached a copy of an image of my bootloader. But the details are as follows:

*** LOCKED ***

EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-2.15.0000

RADIO-1.31a.32.45.16_2

OpenDSP-v33.1.0.45.1128

Hello,

sorry for this post here, but I cannot find a better place for this question to my GT-I9001.

I have a dream... I dream I could use a newer kernel than 2.3.6 (last Samsung stock) or 2.3.7 (MIUI 2.4.6) and WLAN also supports not only the newest WLAN APs with WPS function.

When I use a never kernel like 4.x.x (CM or any other developer, there is no difference), so I see only WLAN-APs with WPS function. My older device (AVM FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7170 (UI) ) are no longer found. It makes no difference if I add this WLAN AP manually (SSID, Security WPA2, Password).

10 different kernels I have tried the last few days - now I am back on the last providerfree german stock rom (I9001XXKQM	I9001XXKPO	I9001DBTKQ2	10.2012	DBT	Germany	2.3.6).

Could any say whats the mistake is so that this is a permanently problem on all newer kernels (Newer than GB)?

Thanks from Dresden

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] royts2007:
can someone explain to me what is "BigMEM-Libs for Sema-Kernel 3.2.0s" . I saw it on another post .

when should I flash the BigMEM? after I flashed the rom and the kernel ?

1 more thing, can i flash cm 10.2 on stock 2.3.3 ?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freakymod2120:
Upgrade to 2.3.6 (it is a better base for the next steps) then flash CM 10.2

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2434225

So to your other question:

Semaphore is an other Kernel for different ROM like CM 10.2 and so on...you can flash it via Odin...

The Kernel reserves RAM when starting so you don`t have 512 MB RAM on your Android for apps and so on, instead only 360MB, for explample...

Semaphore-Kernel gives tou the ability to enable the Function "BigMEM" so you have more RAM becuase some drivers are not loaded at the beginning for example 720p video recording...

So when you enable BigMEM you`re camera will get FS (ForceClosings) then you need the BigMEMLibs (Libs like libOMX.so and so on) and for all that you have to use not the "normal" Semaphore-Kernel, but the Sema-Kernel "s"

Bigmem

When the kernel boots, it reserves some RAM to be used by some drivers (video, capture, JPG) for DMA (Direct Memory Access). In Linux kernel this reservation have to be done only during boot. It was found that using less reserved memory for video capture, the kernel can operate normally without issue with the only regretion that 720p video recording is not possible. Enabling this option will leave ~13MB more available RAM.

Look here my posting for more infos, links ...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2490817

Service centers must first spray the battery using "instant freezing aerosol" for 30 seconds before removing it from the phone,

and board repair centers must freeze it for more then 2 hours at -20 degrees in a chamber before removing it from the phone.

Good day.

Guys, my Defy charger broke , as I did not find any original charger with good price ( Chargers Chinese are bad ) got an old Motorola charger that I have cut off its connector ( that is those round ) , then cut the data cable Defy I have to reserve and connected the wires black to black and red to red , then measured the edge that connects the Defy and noticed it was sending 5V and 500 mha . Everything seemed right , only when I connect my Defy he accuses loading and not charging the battery.

What I noticed is that the two data cables ( the green and white ) that exist in the cable are not connected Defy me anything since the old Motorola connector only has two wires , does anyone know if I can connect these two wires to the ground and if it will solve?

If anyone can help I thank you , for my Defy is old and really do not want to invest much money in an original charger .

Thank you.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viamais.net:
My old Motorola charger only has two wires (one positive and one negative), what I did was simply cut a data cable (one end and another standard USB mini USB) original Defy (I have two), after removing the shielding it has 4 wires, one positive, one negative and two data (which are in green and white), I isolated obiviamente data wires and made a positive amendment to the charger with the USB cable positive and did the same procedure in the negative.

Then did the measurement with the mini USB end and was sending 5V / 550 mha, what the principle is correct.

But the Defy does not recognize as "loading". I believe the charger original Defy send some kind of "information" for the data cable to the battery is performed, it is necessary to confirm that.

I'm trying to locate a wiring diagram usb, but until now could not locate it.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] d.bakoyiannis:
Dear all,

I was recently given a Sony Xperia U due to a "No Service" problem that suddenly appeared.

Besides that the phone is fully functional but unfortunately I cannot use it as a phone.

At first it was equipped with Android 2.3.7.

Having in mind that this "No Service" problem could be a firmware problem I thought that an update would give a solution.

I used Sony PC Companion and updated to Android 4.0.4 (6.1.1.B.1.10) but the problem still remains.

It seems that it does not have anything to do with the SIM card or the Service Provider.

I tested several SIM cards that work fine on other phones.

Could this be a hardware problem?

If not,would another firmware update give a solution?

Please let me know if there is anything more you need to know.

Thank you in advance!

Things like tgat, that suddenly happen and are not solved with software update are likely to be hardware issue.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdourado:
Hello,

This weekend I spent some time at a store playing with a G2 and was very impressed!

Excellent performance, right size and drop dead gorgeous screen.

I am considering getting one, but I have been reading some complaints here on XDA about the camera.

My question is how bad is the camera in real life?

I currently have an iPhone 5 and use the camera a lot. I shoot in all lighting conditions and everything from landscapes, city scapes, portraits, candids, food... I also shoot a lot of social pics in low light and indoors of friends gathering on coffe shops and clubs and such. In these situations, the iPhone delivers pics that are a bit noise, but plenty useful on the small screen and on Facebook and such.

I was just wondering if the camera on the G2 is on the same league as the iPhone 5, better, or worse.

What's your take?

Cheers!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] night_sky:
In my experience autofocus in a dimly lit setting (e.g. in a restaurant) suck pretty hard. My girlfriend's iPhone 4 handily outperformed my LG G2 in focusing. Once the focus is set, however, it takes a good photo.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woof123:
Its better of course...But the camera software needs fine tuning,in order to be really good.But to take a great pic you need to sit and learn the camera options.Its not like an iphone that has pretty much only one mode for almost everything.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
Intelligent Auto mode works pretty well for just about any situation. The de-noise setting in low light situations is too much though.

You can use one of the custom camera's from here on the forums and it will give a bit better quality and it also will focus faster.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brad piff:
G2 crushes the iPhone 5s. (At least in this particular scenario)

5s on the left... stock camera apps on both. I used Intelligent Auto w/ Flash on the G2.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woof123:
I wouldnt use intel auto at night pics especialy with flash on.Normal will flash will make them look alot better.Also it will focus and take apic alot faster.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brad piff:
Dunno, I've tried a lot of pictures with flash on and without I.A. and the results were pretty bad.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdourado:
Nice example.

That is the type of comparison I am looking for.

In good light, I am guessing they will both perform well.

Cheers!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brad piff:
I'd agree, most cameras in the modern age work pretty damn good in well lit conditions. I really like this camera... I had a Nexus 4 before and this is night and day as far as quality is concerned.

[Asus Transformer TF700] njssdfu:
Good Afternoon,

Sorry if this thread is duplicate but I did searching and couldn't find answers.

Few days ago I installed this ROM,CROMi-Xenogenesis 5.1, for my TF700. I had stock with JP40d.WW_epad-10.6.1.14.10-20130801.

Here are steps which I made:

1. Unlock with Asus unlocking tool -> worked

2. Try to root with Motochoper but didn't work, maybe because 10.6.1.14.10?

3. I made successfull root with Transformer Toolkit v2.0.1 and installed with it TWRP.

4. With TWRP I installed new ROM.

It was working with no problem, few days. But than I had to restart my tablet and the system couldn't start. It was stuck at "booting animation". When the circle was rolling. You know what I mean.

I was able to run TWRP so I did WIPE and reinstalled ROM. Now it is working again.

I just want to ask what I did wrong. Was the installation correct? Is there problem that I had before 10.6.1.14.10 and now I have 10.6.1.27.5?

thank you for your help
