[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firoz24:
It may be a bug in that rom. try another rom
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perphide:
Thank you!

Thank all of you for the help and advise!

I will no longer use the powersafe feature and start using the Apolo kernel again, since that kernel gave me the best battery life.

It might have been a coincidence of course that my S2 died/didn't want to start up no more shortly after using the powersafe feature... however from all of the above advise it seems that I don't need that feature anyway so I feel safe to switch back to the Apolo kernel again with my new installed NeatROM SuperLite 2.4.

If the problem returns I'll be here to post it, it might still be a bug in the Apolo kernel of the NeatROM ... I am not sure. Time will tell, or not if it had to do with the powersafe feature which I won't be using any more.

Thank you all!

Hi there im have just brought a second hand i-mate pda2k and it is having problems with locking up. i have tried updating to WM 5 which still had same problem. i down graded back to 2003SE problem still occurs.

it happens randomly but so far longest it has been without crashing is about 10 min.

its very frustrating can some one please tell me if its something they have heard of or come across.

are there any tools to diagnose memory or things like that for PDA's?

Thanks
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] darkevil:
Any ideads at all. anything?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mwheeler2:
Locking up...

You got this second-hand... Any chance the previous owner over-clocked it? If the device has had heat-related damage to either the memory or the processor... it is cumulative, permanent and irreversible.

If the problem is a loose connector, assembly or component, then you may find that the connection separates as the unit warms up... then regains contact as the unit cools. This is common in PC's and anything else with interconnected components in a thermally dynamic environment (wide temperature changes).

If you have the means, open up your PDA, look at all ribbon connectors, micro-caps, etc. for obvious damage (discoloration, breaks, disconnects, etc.). If there is no obvious culprit, you may have an issue that requires professional attention... in which case, you'll have better luck buying another unit on eBay.

Hope this helps,

Mick...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] darkevil:
Hey thanks for the info. I have jsut sent the unit away for be evaluated for cost of repairs, are they really that expensive to fix?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mwheeler2:
Repair?

If you have the unit repaired at a factory authorized shop and they charge the full hourly rate, then yes, it would be cheaper to purchase this on eBay.

However, if you get lucky and the problem is obvious and easy to repair (short bench time)... then the repair will be cheaper. Be sure to get an estimate before authorizing the work.

GSM units are $400US new-in-box and you can find them all day on eBay... Compare this to your repair estimate. If for whatever reason you opt to purchase another unit in lieu of the repair... be sure to keep the malfunctioning unit for parts. Or sell it on eBay to a geek like me...

Later,

Mick...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] darkevil:
Thank for the advice, now i just have to wait for the techs to evaluate it. fingers crossed for a cheap fix.

Each ROM is a result of a developers hard work, hours of toiling, brainstorming and bugfixing. To condemn a ROM based on a users opinion is wrong, and "Best" threads aren't permitted on XDA

[Security Discussion] lojak29:
Ive read this can be done incase your external sd card is stolen or lost where u can passcode encrypt the entire card where if someone trys to view jpgs images or video anything for that matter they get a blank image..

Is this a Computer pc encryption deal or native to being done right from the device or an app.

And are they're any downsides to doing it and being able to view yourself from your device while encrypted

Keep in mind that it's not worth much if your phone is turned on when the attacker steals it. No matter what.

Against the ordinary thief it'll do fine.
[Security Discussion] Roger Triton:
Soooo

stealing the phone gives the person 100% access to the SD card? atleast the iphone has the numeric or alphanumeric password feature and 10 mistakes before Wipe.
[Security Discussion] SecUpwN:
Absolutely right. Still looking for a way to lock out federal forces in case my phone gets "arrested". Any ideas or recommendations?
[Security Discussion] lojak29:
Encryption of external sd... still is supposed to make any file on sd pass code required. .. as in if someone takes the card out tries it in a pc or other phone they'll see black or blank images .

Essentially making it like Iphone proof .

Only thing can be done is a fat 32 format to clear card.

But I havent tried cause I don't wanna take risks of loosing vital info .

As far as the last post about federal people compromising your phone .... well trust me if they get your phone they can hack anything
[Security Discussion] shaten:
what you really need is truecrypt.org/

It might be possible to port it to Android and then use it on the SD card.

[Security Discussion] mrplice:
Sorry to ressurect an old thread. But there is no such option for Cyanogenmod cm-12.1 (Lollipop+). is there a way to encrypt the external sd card?
[Security Discussion] bastei:
I once hacked me an EncFS-script that mounts an encrypted folder on my sdcard as sdcard0 and the rest of the sdcard as sdcard1. I use it on my phone since more than a year now without any problems:

http://xdaforums.com/htc-sensation/development/mod-encrypt-sdcard-encfs-t3027711

It may run without any changes on your phone, too. Otherwise you only have to change some paths in the script or ask me for help.
[Security Discussion] mrplice:
Thanks for the advice. By looking at that thread I see that you are using encFS. What i have in mind is a full partition encryption (just like LUKS, for instance). Do you know if that would be possible?
[Security Discussion] bastei:
I think by "full partition encryption" you mean "encryption of the file system".? Because if you only mean encryption of "all files on the sdcard" - that's what I actually do. I also wrote three points about my decision for EncFS.

You could try to use TrueCrypt in the same way I use EncFS, but with an encrypted partition. Apart from that I'm not aware of any (easy) way to encrypt the file system. Android uses dm-crypt for internal encryption, but I don't know if and how you can use it to encrypt the sdcard.
[Security Discussion] optimumpro:
The latest luks manager (2.5.1) allows you to encrypt external sdcard, which should me mounted on boot or manually and unlike Encfs, no password is stored in plain text. To have a password stored in plain text is no security at all.
[Security Discussion] bastei:
Only out of interest:

I wanted to prevent access to the data on my sdcard if I lose my device. The password is stored on encrypted /data, only readable by root. In what way do you consider that "no security at all"?
[Security Discussion] optimumpro:
In 2 ways: First, a security model that relies on a separate encryption process that is not provided in that model is not secure. What if data partition is not encrypted? Second, you can't rely on permissions only, if permissions alone were enough, we wouldn't need disk encryption at all. Textsecure used to have a glaring security hole: all sms were stored on disk in plain text. Moxie didn't say encrypt your data, he instead fixed the issue.
[Security Discussion] bastei:
Funnily enough Android M is saving the encryption key for adopted storage in the exact same way as I did it for my Enfs-folder.
[Security Discussion] optimumpro:
You still remember? I meant no offence.

Adopted storage: even if this is true, it is still OK, because I don't think you can encrypt adopted storage without encrypting data partition. In other words, there is no way in M the encryption key could be read without first decrypting data. In your case, it is possible, since encrypting SD is independent from encrypting internal data partition. But if I were Google, I would still not save the encryption key in plain...

Okays guys so my friend is having some issues, I can't solve it so I figured I would go ahead and ask you. When he plugs in his phone while in recovery to mount the sd card, nothing shows up on his computer. When trying to flash a custom rom or backup of a rom, it gives error status 7. I do not know what is wrong with it, and can not seem to find out how to fix it. I have spent the past hour or so browsing the forums after he did trying to find a resolve to the issue with no avail. If you can help me in any way it would be greatly appreciated.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
What version of recovery are you using? Sounds like the SD card is corrupt from doing a factory reset in bootloader.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Firreath:

So here's my issue. When I push an app to the system or occasionally, when I side load a normal app, after reboot, the system changes the file's permissions to 600. I then go back to Root Explorer and change it back to 644 and reboot. I don't have to rinse and repeat unless I push another app to the system.

Edit: It was the Zip Align script. It doesn't use the -p option with the cp command nor reset the files' permissions.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dizzy929:
So I have an I747 running stock 4.1.2 that was given to me by a friend. When I received it, I noticed I could not access it from any computer. I asked her if she had any trouble and she said no, that she always connected it to a computer and it was easily picked up. Before she gave me the phone, she factory wiped it. Since then, no computer can see it and no option appears in the drag-down menu. Using *#7284#, I set it to MTP and MTP+ADB with nothing changing. I have tried battery pulls, uninstalling/reinstalling drivers, Kies, etc., even changing cables (from cheap ones to the OEM Samsung and HTC ones). I've tried it on Ubuntu 12.10, 11.04, Windows 8, Windows 7, XP, and even Mountain Lion. No computers can see it.

Anyone have any ideas? I cannot even try to root or anything because no version of ODIN works. Yet, if I connect my S2 Skyrocket, all PCs read it, regardless of cable or OS.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 99ytrewq9111:
I had this problem before and could not find a proper reason.

There *COULD* be a problem with your phones USB connecter. Some hardware could be damaged. This can be caused by incorrectly unplugging or plugging the device in, which can jostle the hardware and break it.

How long was the phone used for?

I hope you have a warranty :/.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dizzy929:
Unfortunately, no, the phone does not have warranty. If the USB port were damaged, would it still charge fine? Because apart from no connectivity to a computer, the phone works fine and can see an SD card in it. Its internal storage is accessible through file managers, as well.

If it is damaged, would I be able to see the damage when opening it up? I would not hesitate to fix it if it is something I can re-solder back on or replace. I just do not want to get a replacement USB port if it is not the problem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jremenak:
I had a very similar problem with my i747. If your phone charges when it's plugged in to the USB port of the computer, you might try this:

Make sure the Samsung drivers are installed. Power off your phone. Power on the phone in Download mode. (Volume Down + Home + Power) Press Volume Up to continue. Once it's in Download mode, plug it into your computer. Windows should now discover it and load the driver. Once this is complete, unplug the phone from the computer, and pull the battery out of the phone to get out of Download mode. Replace the battery, and power on the phone like normal. It should connect to the computer properly.

I found this on the Verizon S3 forums over on Android Central. Worked for me after a lot of other things didn't.

Best of luck!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 99ytrewq9111:
I have never been "in" the USB port area when taking apart my i747, I would assume it would be visible...but you should try the suggestion of USB drivers from the poster above
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jmah10:
my suggestion would be to download the samsung s3 drivers. this worked for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
In some cases, yes. Charging operation only needs the positive and negative 5 volt pins on the usb bus. In order to transfer data ( and be recognized by the host OS) you must also have connection across the two data pins. It is possible that one of the data pins on the phone's connector OR either end of the micro usb is bent, broken, or otherwise not making connection. Also i have about a hundred (more like 10 but you get the point) micro usb cables laying around and some will ONLY charge. I can't give you a scientific explanation why other than the phone just doesn't like some of them so trying a different micro usb could be the key.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dizzy929:
Tried the download mode on both Windows, ubuntu and Mac and unfortunately it still remained unrecognized.

Tried the newest drivers and even an older set but neither worked.

Like you said, I think that sometimes a phone not liking a cable is the truth. What sucks is I never had this problem with my s2 skyrocket on any cable. I may have to send it in for repair if anything. I upgraded to 4.3 last night and still the same so I feel it's definitely a hardware problem.

Thanks for all the suggestions, guys.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rarestg:
Hi guys,

I recently upgraded to Android 4.3 using the latest InsertCoin Rom and I was delighted to see that it was finally outputting 1080p video (all previous roms did so at 720p) at 24fps.

So I went and downloaded the Elemental X kernel because it says in the description that they increased the MHL refresh rate. To my surprise, my phone was once again outputting 720p video!

Next, I decided to test out the Bulletproof Kernel, and what do you know, it still outputs video at 720p.

Are there no Kernels or adjustments that allow video outputs of 1080p at 30+fps over mhl?

im still using the s2 ive been due an upgrade for about 3 months now but cant decide to go for the s4 or wait for the s5,

do you think its worth waiting for the s5

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
Only you can decide that. Look up the proposed features of the S5 and then see what the S4 offers and make a decision. I would wait until it is definitely known what the specs and features of the S5 will be because it's just speculation now. Also, do as much reading as possible. Just about any possible question about the S4 has been asked and answered, just use the search function to find those answers.

One more thing. If you wait for the S5, wait until the developers edition or GE edition is released. Maybe even get the International S5 version if it is proven to work with AT&T LTE (which it should). DO not get the carrier branded version unless locked bootloaders and bloat is what you are looking for. Also, look into the KNOX issues to see if it further cripples the phones ability to be customized. If it does, you will probably be better going with another brand. But, like I said, you need to read and decide for yourself. Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] j510:
Personally I don't think it's worth the wait. As for the s4 it's a good phone but there are other great phones out at the moment. If I was in your shoes I would consider the nexus 5 HTC one and LG g2 as alternative options. There is the note 3 but that depends on if your willing to carry a 5.7 inch screen with you.

Also now that I've had the s4 for a while I honestly got bored with it. I was hoping 4.3 would breath life back into it but it's just about the same. As for safestrap it helped but shortly got bored with ROMs and went back to stock. For my next upgrade I'll try another brand.

The future of flashing custom Roms is getting harder with new phones coming out so keep that in mind, if you don't mind not flashing custom Roms than the s5 would be a great phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Zorachus:
Stay far away from the official ATT S4, they locked this phone down so tight, no custom Recovery, no flashing fresh new ROM's. It totally sucks, and is a very disturbing trend from ATT. Even the new Note 3 got the shaft :( Development on the ATT Note 3 is NONEXISTENT.

Even though I do love my S4, great smartphone, but if you get an MF3, or MJ9 version, your screwed.

If you got the cash, and want an S4, get the Google Play Edition, or find an International S4 on eBay.

I sure hope ATT isn't going to continue this in the future, locking down all new phones, and killing development ?

At least the ATT HTC One is totally developer friendly, it can be rooted, recovery, and S-Off no problem.
