[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Unless there's a major fault with the sim or sd card there's no reason to remove them.

And in terms of accessing the recovery, if what you are doing is EXACTLY as you describe, you may be doing it a tad wrong.......

You are correct in so far as you have to hold the power, home and volume up keys together (from the phone being in a powered off state) but then instead of keeping the power button pressed in, as soon as the samsung logo appears, you need to release just that button (while still holding the vol up and home buttons). By keeping the power button held in, you are forcing the phone to reboot before it has a chance to enter recovery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NejaaHal:
Thanks for giving me the right way to do. I've seen at elast 3 ways online. one like you say, one where all 3 button are released when the "samsung galaxy SII" screen appear (the one I usually used) and the one saying to keep the 3 button held untill the "samsung galaxy SII" appear-disapear-reapear but this one never worked for me, I don't know why I see it so often online ^^'.

The method you gave me don't seem to work :/ I released the button power as soon as the "samsung galaxy SII" appear and kept the two others held and after 1 minute nothing changed, I was still on the "samsung galaxy SII" screen.

A problem with the bootloader maybe?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
I don't know enough about the android os to comment or speculate about why something is not working....but if I can make a suggestion.....now you know the correct way to get into recovery, the best way forward for you would be to concentrate on flashing kernels until either you've tried them all or you can get recovery to work.....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NejaaHal:
I just tried them all. Well all the stock based ones, I don't know if I can try the others (AOSP; AOKP; MIUI) after having tried to flash stock roms. also there were some of them coming as a .zip ... and I don't know what to do with that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
You do one of two things with a zipped kernel.....either extract it to tar format and flash it with Odin or leave it as a zip flash it via recovery. But that will depend on the kernel and the flashing instructions in the kernel thread.....and there's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't try the custom kernels........
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NejaaHal:
what do you mean "extract it to .tar format? for exemple the one here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1749591 come in .zip format, have inside severals directories and a boot.img.

I know this one should be installed through the recovery. but since I can't access it I have to install through Odin. but I don't know what to do to be able to une it through odin ^^
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
As you stated....that one is for flashing 'as is' via the stock recovery.....extracting it won't do any good......

What I was saying is that *some* downloadable content is zipped before being uploaded to the host server and will need to be extracted before use. Others can be used 'as is' without extraction, directly via CWM.....this is why I said to refer to the flashing instructions.......

For the i9100 Intl we have both tar format and zip format for kernels which can be flashed via Odin or recovery respectively.......

As you said, you can't get into recovery, so you'll have to rely on the tar format kernels or the ones that state 'Odin flash only'.

If none of them work, then you'll need to refer back to hopper8s thread to try all the methods for recovering from a failed Odin flash.

If none of that works (on several PCs etc) then all that's left is JTAGging or motherboard replacement........
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NejaaHal:
Thanks ^^ of course I know that, I just didn't know if there were a way to transform a .zip package into a .tar.md5 package ^^ sound like it's not possible (or it would involve come compilation and I'm not totally motivated to go that far ^^

I already went along hopper8's thread about odin and that didn't changed anything beside the moment of the flashing fail (depending on the odin version and the ROM used).

I didn't tried all the roms available nor all the kernels but I tried a lot of them, but the more I try the more it looks like a hardware problem :/ I don't like this diagnosis but I think I will have to accept it

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
DeveloperOne released V7.50 of AgendaFusion for WM5 on 1st Dec. I haven't seen it mentioned in these forums. Anybody got any feedback about it?

I'm just about to try it:

http://www.developerone.com/agendafusion/download.htm#wm5
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
Hmm. First impressions: not good.

Contacts are displayed and I can search for them. I can't use the keyboard to dial a contact's number. Gotta use the stylus. This is enough reason to ditch the software IMHO. Can't use the keyboard to find and dial a number while in the car?? :shock: This is one strength of the built-in WM5 contacts app., which is actually pretty good.

AF calendar doesn't show a single appointment, of any kind. :shock: Weird. Can't find anything in the settings to show/hide certain types of appointment, so I don't know what's going on. Tasks are all displayed OK though. I added an appointment in AF and it appears in my sync'ed calendar on the desktop, but doesn't show on the Exec.

Can't use the keyboard to navigate the calendar or switch calendar view tab. So can't navigate to a day and start a new appointment without getting the stylus out. (For many people this won't be a problem, but it indicates to me that it's not fully compatible with our Universals. If they left out this possibility then what else didn't they consider?) Up/down keyboard buttons do nothing as far as I can tell. Why the hell not?

The screen through which you add an appointment is broken in VGA mode. Unbelievable :roll: There's an unlabelled time input field orphaned in whitespace near the bottom of the screen. I've no idea what it refers to.

No soft-key tabs at the bottom of the screen for common tasks. :shock: This isn't a feature unique to the Universal: The soft-key input option is standard to WM5! Why haven't they used it, or at least offered the possibility?

So I'm not happy with AgendaFusion. This is a pity - I loved it on my XDA2. I had hoped that the long-overdue release of their "WM5-compatible" version meant that it'd be the killer PIM, but it offers nothing that PocketInformant doesn't offer, and PI was released weeks ago. What have DeveloperOne been doing?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
I've been beta testing AF for a while and I am very happy. I use the Project Management feature a lot. Not had any problems with appointments.

I did a quick hands-on video for this port on my Nexus 4. Everything works (Update: except compass) great with no hiccups or lag. I'm using it as my daily driver, so, if you have any concerns, check the video below to see the performance.

[Nexus 4 General] Dark Fear:
tnQ for this video..

i flashed this rom.. but i think it's not so good for daily usage.. good for fun and experiencing Kit Kat..

but it's not as smooth as 4.3 rom.. (of course it's a port and it's initial version).. there's some stuttering..
[Nexus 4 General] raul6:
Looking good. Thanks for videos!
[Nexus 4 General] leinpfad:
Why does your launcher still looks like in 4.3?
[Nexus 4 General] whoisrikk:
The version I use works very good, at least for me. I've heard that there are different ports and some of them are laggy. Check the thread I'm linking to in the OP. You might have flashed a different one
[Nexus 4 General] AntiBillOS:
Coz this it AOSP build so this without new Google launcher.
[Nexus 4 General] Dark Fear:
yes.. i flashed that..

it's very good.. but i'm strict and i think it's not as smooth as 4.3..

waiting for official 4.4 and 4.4 custom roms..
[Nexus 4 General] forever_lol:
I completely agree with you. Ports are amazing, but I am looking forward to official release.

Nice, I really like how they removed the black bar from the nav buttons.

yep, it really improves the experience even though i got used to PA's Slim Pie in Fullscreen mode.

Has anyone tried this on their phone?

HTC Sense 5 UI For All Android Devices

If so please let me know. I have a few questions. Thank you :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] flomexico:
It's a launcher and an icon pack. What's the question?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] djd1520:
The question has to do with the instructions after downloading the Halo Launcher, Icon Pack and APK file.

It says launch Halo and go to Settings > Appearance > Icons/Themes > Sense 5.

The problem I am having is I can only get as far as Appearance in Settings. I do not see Icons/Themes > Sense 5.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] flomexico:
Icons is the top action. It seems the theme isn't called Sense 5. It's Tiny White Icons.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] flex360:
lol

oh nice

run away from sense to flash aosp..............

to eventually flash an imitation sense 5 theme

makes alot of sense :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vistashen:
Need Help: Unfortunately my UMI X2 turbo back/home/menu buttons no more responds. It first started as if someone is pressing back/home/menu in a slow pace but gradually increase the speed and the phone become almost unusable. I suspected that it was a virus. Cozy when I scan with kaspersky it detected 2 treads one file name I remember something like "com.android.cavis...." was successfully deleted by antivirus. I feel that removing the virus fix the issue at first coz it was working perfectly for sometime then it started again. Everytime I full scan after that symptom i got 2 treats everytime I scan. Other antivirus didn't detect anything AVG and AVAST. The problem got worse after one day from the start of symptom, those buttons no longer responds but all other things works like incoming calls and outgoing and playing music without any lag. Symptoms also includes the entire screen do not respond on touch for few seconds but it did not effect on the open application that is music plays smoothly even when it don't respond anything on touch screen. So I did the factory reset and the buttons works for a while and again back to same situation. Did factory reset by erasing the phone, Same it works for a while a back to same situation. Even now sometimes the buttons came back on but it automatically press by itself that can't operate when it happens.

Now I am Confused whether its possible by virus? Coz I have done the factory reset.

Or is there a way to completely format and reinstall the OS and how?

I used ROM MANAGER to tried to flash with some ROM downloaded from needrom.com but it did not seem to flash got "command error".

I don't know whether it has anything to do with it but the kaspersky I used was downloaded from torrent sites and it seems to be working fine.

Any helpful suggestion will be greatly appreciated!

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Echo_Steve:
The Story... I live in the UK

I started to get the dreaded black irregular shaped dots on my photos, A known issue

Sent it to SBE for repair, it took over THREE weeks to come back to me.

On examining the phone it had dust particles and a strand of hair over the Camera lens...

Phoned Sony support who advised me to send it back, Gave me a new repair number at the same time

I didn't send it back straight away as i was reluctant to be without the phone again for such a long time

Alas after several weeks the phone started to not be able to lock on to GPS signals and would take up to 20 mins to find one

always used to lock on in a minute or so in the same area... Also Killed my 32Gb Micro Sd card unable to read or format it anymore

Caught in a torrential downpour whilst using the phone, on arriving home noticed condensation in Camera lens

Sent back to SBE who amazingly repaired the phone in just over a week, Replacing the camera.

On receiving the phone and checking all was well i noticed that there was a Red Dot in the headphone socket

Not there when i sent it back to SBE for repair, and yes all flaps where closed securely

Immediately got in touch with sony support who advised me to send the phone back

So without even switching it on it has now gone back for the THIRD time

I have this niggling feeling that the back glass was possibly not glued properly after the first repair...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JBrian420:
Several months ago i hard bricked my phone and sent it to mobiletechvideos.com for jtag repair.

Does this phone have a tamper seal that could have been broken?

Has anyone sent in a phone for replacement that has been opened?

My phone seems to have a hardware problem. It powers off constantly when i put in my pocket instead of going into standby.
[Android Apps and Games] BuzzyMind:
It is not easy to stare at a screen all day long, we all know it.

Whether you work or play games or watch YouTube videos, after couple of hours your eyes get dry, they start burning, itching, your head starts aching and you wonder what's wrong? Well, nothing except that you stared couple of hours straight at your monitor or device screen.

In order to fight this eye strain, I created this app which reminds you, after selected period of time, to rest your eyes for selected period of time.

It is based on the 20-20-20 rule which states that after 20 minutes, of staring at a close object, you should look at objects that are 20 feet away from you for 20 seconds.

I think many people can benefit from this app, especially here - over the XDA-Developers community.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BorisDeviant:
Hi all

Ordered my 32gb, white N5, which should be delivered early next week.

But while anxiously waiting and reading first feedbacks, I had a question that seemed to have not been answered yet.

What about audio jack quality? I don't expect a smartphone to drive a high spec earbud like a professional DAC, but the N4 was a bit disappointing. Muddy bass, irritating highs, it was definitely not enough for my Fidelio S2.

So what to expect from the N5? Does it come with a Wolfson DAC (I don't think so) or with the same DAC the G2 is equipped with? How does it sound?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noobdeagle:
i would imagine it uses a Qualcomm dac like the N4 before it only perhaps an updated one. i found the N4 to sound alright on my Sure SE535's but bass not as clear / punchy as any wolfson ive had previously.

if you goto the snapdragon S800 page if i recall it does talk about the DAC

Also the S800 now has a Dedicated DSP processor and 4.4 uses direct audio tunneling to the DSP so it will be interesting to see how this will effect the audio quality to.

EDIT: from what i understand tho the Qualcomm DAC's are more analytical in sound they tend to give detail and lack warmth in the sound.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blocoholi:
How is the volume? I'm hearing impaired and I was always listening my music on full volume.

I read somewhere that the N5 would be louder. Can someone confirm this for me?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aimetti:
audio is a big one for me as well.

if it isnt a big improvement over the n4 it will be getting sold. Ive been spoiled with my htc one after having the n4.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blocoholi:
yeah, I used to listen my music on my ipod touch 64GB but it broke down. Just recently I started using my N4 as my daily music-"machine" (:D) and google music all access is great. However, the N4 was just not loud enough for some albums (usually older and quieter stuff) and 16GB weren't much enough.

I hope my new N5 white 32GB will be better as music player... I will find out at the latest on monday..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phunkycow:
Just pasting my comment from a discussion on G+, some may find it useful:

From a quick test I believe it sounds better than my good ol' Nexus 4. The sound is a bit more bass-y, though I'm not sure if it's just "coloured", or the fact that Nexus 4's sound is a bit on the "tinny" side (note: I'm not using audiophile-grade gear, just slightly(?)-above-the-average Klipsch S4 in-ears). I'd say the sound is more balanced now. Also, output appears to be higher than on the Nexus 4.

Take the above with a grain of salt, this is a matter of personal preference after all. For proper analysis you should wait for Supercurio or someone with the proper tools + time to do it. :)

Edit: Before anyone asks about external DACs, just tried to connect my ODAC hoping for some sound to play from my speakers. No luck. Not even with a Y-Cable so I guess we're going to have to rely on custom kernels again.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blocoholi:
Thanks!

With higher output, do you mean more volume, louder?

I also have Klipsch S4 (II) and I found it already quite (too?) bassy on my N4
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phunkycow:
Got the S4 (I), not sure if there's a difference!

Yep, that's what I meant about the output, sorry for the confusion.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feedtheducks:
Indeed. I hope the audio is better than the n4. Heck, my i9100 has better audio quality than the n4.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i2ollingstone:
I'm coming from a GNexus and when I plug my phone into the aux jack in my car it sounds absolutely terrible. It's just horribly muffled and muddy compared to virtually anything else I've plugged in.

Anyone know what kind of improvements I can expect? Was the N4 any better than the GNexus? It's pretty embarrassing to want to share a song with friends and after someone unplugs their iphone my phone sounds like garbage.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supercakefish:
Nope nooope no no no no no nopity nope no no no. I'm sorry but having owned both Galaxy S2 and Nexus 4, the Nexus 4 definitely has better music-playing quality through headphones. 100%.
