head to my G2 rom you will find it ;)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hartford:
Just got a message that there is an update available for my phone. I am currently rooted running stock ROM. If I update will I lose root? If yes, can I easily re-root?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iastonish:
Typically most pushed updates will cause you to loose root. As for your other question I'm not sure, what is the update for 4.3? Can't answer without knowing what the update is updating to.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdibYhy:
It's just a small update, about 60 MB. Bumped the version from D80010d to D80010o. Still 4.2.2. From what I could see, the update added 'Play Games' app. It probably fixed the over-sensitive touchscreen too, but I can't say for sure.

Samsung Galaxy SII SGH-i777

OMNI 4.4 Nightly

I've been having charging problems ever since installing this ROM. When I plugged it in before, it would show a battery with a question mark. The phone eventually died and it won't boot up. I am not really sure what else to put but just ask and I'll answer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
yeah, that's a weird bug with OMNI right now -The phone isn't really OFF when it's off. It shows the questionmark and gets very hot, and it won't boot while it's plugged in. I have submitted a jira report, which just got downgraded to minor. You have to unpplug the phone from any usb charger or port and hope that it has enough juice to boot. Then leave it charging while it's ON.

I'm not sure how to recover from a dead battery in this case, unless the battery-out download-mode thing works? give me fifteen minutes and I'll try it...

sorry [MENTION=5140918]jmsato[/MENTION],

if your battery really is too low to boot the phone, then the only option I'm aware of is to ODIN it to stock and start over.

1)remove the battery

2)plug the phone into a pc usb port

3)hold vol+ & vol- & power until the warning appears

maybe someone else knows some trick way to charge a battery out of the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jmsato:
Oh, No Problem! I appreciate you trying though, I just need it to work. I'm gonna re-root and download another 4.4 rom. BTW, Do you know how to get ActiveDisplay on CM?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aureljared:
In 3e, the select button is usually the home button, and the back button is usually the power button. It could also be the other way round.

Have you tried that?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jain236:
yes i did and when i do that i can see is android logo with red warning triangle. if i press again home button the it come back 3e screen with same options
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aureljared:
If your device happens to have the same keylayout as my other unbranded S4 clone, the keys are

Vol Up - Select

Vol Down - Scroll Down

Home - none

Back - none

Menu - none

Power - some kind of screen lock that doesn't let you push any buttons unless you press Power again

But since you mentioned something about the home button, probably it'll be

Vol Up - Select

Vol Down - Scroll Down

Home - some kind of screen lock that doesn't let you push any buttons unless you press Homeagain

Back - ?

Menu - ?

Power - ?

As you can see, there is no key for Scroll Up as far as I know.

Let me know if the keys above work. :)

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] choji7:
So I just got a new Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 from amazon, the first one they sent had dead pixels on it so I sent it back for a replacement. My second one came and things are looking pretty good except I've noticed the screen just doesn't look very crisp/sharp and icons/text look very pixelated when compared to my 3rd generation iPad or my new Nexus 5's screen. I took screen shots (of the lock screen, home screen, settings, etc..) on the note 10.1 and loaded it up on the iPad and the same screen shots look much sharper/better than on the iPad's screen. I believe the first one I got (with the dead pixels) had about the same pixelation/quality. It is very apparent when I look at the battery icon in the corner, it is appears very jagged and pixelated.

Before I go for another replacement, I'm wondering if the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 is suppose to look like this or if both units I got just had issues with the screens. For a tablet with 2560x1600 resolution, I would have thought the picture quality would be much better (on par with the iPad or my nexus 5), but when I compare the screen quality of the note 10.1's to my iPad or my Nexus 5 it doesn't even come close.

Edit: Added photos with phone's camera (not great due to how poorly cameras generally capture lcd screens, but I think it shows what I'm talking about).

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] choji7:
Well, I figured out the issue, the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 uses a PenTile RGBW screen. This causes me to basically see a checkerboard of pixels everywhere, it was more apparent with the green battery indicator icon. Not sure why they would use this technology, but I guess I'll have to look into a different tablet. Its a shame because I was quite looking forward to the Note 10.1.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] jack880:
I wish my eyes were good enough to see the individual pixels on the note 2014 display.

To me the battery icon looks solid green with no pixellation
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] reubenskelly1992:
You can see it if you out your eyes on the screen
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] choji7:
Ok, I see the issue now, I decided to read up about it some more, here is a bit of a technical blog post. A person was explaining an issue similar to mine with Pentile's technology and they replied, in rather in depth detail http://pentileblog.com/oled/pentile-and-sharp-eyesight/

And I would highly suggest not putting your faces so close to the screens, you people are talking about 3 inches away, which is crazy, I took a tape measure and my eyes were really straining/hurting at about 3-4 inches, would imagine that not to be healthy for the eyes. My "close" viewing distance (if I'm holding it or laying down) is about 8-14 inches. My normal viewing distance (if its on my lap or the table) is about 19-23 inches (I took a tape measure to attempt to get an accurate measurement). At both my "close" and "normal" viewing distance I can see the checkerboard pattern on most solid colors (largely depends on the color) areas like backgrounds, text, and icons quite clearly.

So this seems like it would only effect certain individuals (would like to apologize to daddydark as I thought the issue was more wide spread). This is quite a disappointment for me as I am in the market for a new tablet and I have been interested in the galaxy note line for quite some time (hardly anyone puts a decent active stylus on their tablets). The Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 seemed like a great choice with great specs, great listed resolution, reliable active stylus. Guess I'll have to look into a different product (the screen is just too distracting for me unfortunately).

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] skyline23:
The problem is you can look at every tablet out there, and non have the same resolution with pen support. Sad but true.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] reubenskelly1992:
There's nothing wrong the screen, you can only see the pixels if you look at distances your not suppose too, and I have a keen eye

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] choji7:
So, I went to a local best buy and we were both staring at the same screen (the sales rep an I), I asked him he could see the pixelation and he said he couldn't but I could, so oh well, at least he wasn't rude about it. After some research and looking at other options I will keep the tablet as it was exactly what I wanted and I will just buy like a Nexus 7 for recreational use (where I am most likely to notice the pixelation).

Since most people here really seem to be very rude or disrespectful about this topic, I would appreciate if people just stop posting in this thread (aka let it die), as it doesn't seem to be an issue with the product but with my eyes.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] notebooko:
This guy really confuses me. Wasn't he the one being disrespectful about you being able to see the pixels? Oh well. I think the opinion of a sales rep won't really be of any help because they will say anything to get you to buy something considering that they probably work on commission. I can see the pixels, but I learned to live with it because I use the GS3 which also has the same pentile technology. :rolleyes:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] jnichols2:
choji,

I have to get very close to see ANY pixilation. And I need a 6x magnifier to see it as well as the pictures you posted. But; I can't see near as well as I could 40 years ago either.

If you see enough to bother you from 12", then you have far better eyesight than most of us. There's nothing wrong with your eyes. That's the good news. The bad news is, you will be far more conscious of normal pixilation than others are. If I could have sight that good, I'd be willing to live with the pixilation on the icons.

Please don't read any rudeness or disrespect into my comments, none is intended.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] jaytee23:
If I may interject...

choji7 is specifically referring to the moire pattern visible on the green battery indicator on the shots of the samsung. But there is an explanation. And its not what he thinks.

The "live" battery indicator does have a crosshatch pattern. That is NOT a result of the pixel arrangement. It is the way the battery indicator was designed.

If you capture the screen, which he did in order to display it on an iPad, the Note seems to take a much lower res capture than the actual screen resolution. You can see this yourself if you capture a launcher screen, then show it in the gallery and then switch back to the live launcher. If you switch back and forth between the launcher and the gallery, you can't help but see that the capture is low res and lossy. The edges of icons look smooth on the launcher, but you will see edge pixels on the capture AND, most importantly, the battery indicator will magically be SOLID in the capture. So of course, if he displays the capture on the iPad, it will not show the pattern in the battery indicator as the capture eliminated it. If you look at the same capture on the Note, the battery indicator looks identical to the way it looks on the iPad. Its especially apparent if you enlarge the capture to show the battery indicator. It becomes a solid patch of green.

Mystery solved. Nothing wrong with the Note 10.1 screen.

My question is why is the default screen capture on the Note saving a very lossy, low-res image and how can you change it to lossless? I don't see an option to change that. The screen captures it made were tiny files of 3.7 MB PNG format. It should have been a much larger file at 2560x1600.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] notebooko:
That's actually not the design of the battery icon. Rather, the battery icon looks like that because of the technology of the screen used. Samsung decided to put a RGBW matrix screen rather than the traditional RGB matrix. You can see the difference in the review gsmarena did comparing the iPad Retina and the Note 10.1 2014. Here are the pics showing the matrices.

This is the traditional RGB matrix:

This is the RGBW matrix in the Note 10.1:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Geordie Affy:
I agree that some people have been disrespectful to you, I think most (inc myself) just find it hard to believe you can see any pixels on a screen which has the best screen possible in the tablet market. If you see pixels on this then surely you would see them on every tablet since the all have lower resolution. Anyways glad you decided to keep it and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have....I love it.

-------------------

The only thing I noticed when I seen the the Note 10.1 on display at a local electronics store (Bare in mind it was very very heavily lit area) was these faint white/crystal matrix lines running all along the entire screen from top to bottom and the viewing angle had to be pretty precise to see it and had to focus on it a lot - LOL.

Basically imagine the RGBW matrix that notebooko just posted, identical to that however very faint. But it seems as though it was on the screen since the screen was on and thats when I seen it.

I havent been able to recreate it in the house but curious to what it is. Just a guess but maybe it could be some sort of filer for the RGBW display or something.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Mandersoon:
Hey everyone,

So I've been having a problem with my Z Ultra that I haven't been able to solve for a number of weeks now.

The service menu on my C6833 specifically says that the bootloader is unlockable, as shown here:

(imgur) com/OO9549 (sorry, XDA won't let me post links yet. ><)

However, when I try unlocking using Sony's official instructions (and using FlashTool) - I get the following:

fastboot -i 0x0ffce oem unlock 0x(my key here)

...

FAILED (remote: Command did not succeed)

finished. total time: 0.027s

I've copied/pasted the key, I've typed it out manually, they all get me the same error. I'm running Windows 8.1 (finally managed to get the drivers installed), yet this also happened on a Windows 7 machine. I've been racking my brain, but I can't find ANYTHING that'll help. The last time I tried, I gave up trying to unlock the bootloader and installed the DualRecovery for locked bootloaders, which ended up bricking my phone and I had to flash back to stock.

Help! I just want to be able to install custom roms again! D:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Hmm, that's strange. I've googled a bit and you're not the first xperia owner with this issue. Some say that updating or re-flashing the ROM will fix it. Which version are you running?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Mandersoon:
I've re-flashed the ROM a few times on different versions. I'm currently on 4.2.2 - 14.1.B.2.257.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
I had the same problem when I tried to unlock.

Tried 5 times and then was finally successful. Ensure that you have typed out the commands correctly. Don't copy and paste as that wont work.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Are you getting the same error in Flashtool?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
I can't be sure as it was 3/4 months ago. Kept having issues, and I gave up. Then came back and after many attempts it worked. It was incorrect commands i was typing. 0 or O may have been the problem, or no space where they should be one.

If it says command failed then it sounds like you have the command correct, but the key is incorrect or the format of your input after the command is incorrect.

Also... are you rooted? Root first then try agian
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Mandersoon:
I have copied/pasted, as well as typing out the commands. This has happened with Flashtool as well as in the command prompt.

And the phone is rooted.

EDIT:

I figured out the problem. I ended up using flashtool for the whole process. Windows 8.1's Driver Signature Verification NEEDS to be turned off. I ended up getting a new unlock code from Sony and that worked.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Johnnynho:
Hi Mandersoon,

I am in same problem and do you have any link or email to get new Unlock code from sony?

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jnocomski:
Encountered this on my first try. Then on the second attempt, it went through.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] BlackCatAlex:
i had the same problem, it said "FAILED (remote: Incorrect format for unlock data. Should be on the form "0x)" so I did exactly as it said - added "0x" before my code and it worked!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] STICKTOONE:
I just removed "0x" from the unlock code given by sony, it worked like a charm. :good:

I dont know why.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] psylbaba:
can you please share the code i cant understand where to add 0x. i am facing the same issue. reply ASAP
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Klaos3000:
Do not share the code/key. That's your unique key.

[MENTION=7172298]psylbaba[/MENTION]: it says "added "0x" before my code", so I assume he means 0x in front of the key when you're unlocking in Flashtool.

Hello Everyone. i have a pc that is hooked up on a LAN that gets net access via VPN on a local host. My PPC (XDA2i) on 2003 se is connected to my pc via Bluetooth on a PAN. so what i need is for the PPC to be able to access the LAN so it can connect to the host computer via VPN for net access... i tried 2 different apoproaches.

#1 I bridged the 2 connections (PAN and LAN) under the same Subgroup as the host. eg : 192.168.0.xx , Host = 192.168.0.1 . problem is the pc is unable to ping the PPC and vice versa. so if they are unable to ping what more establish a VPN connection. strangely, the pc is able to access the LAN, but the ppc isn't.

#2 I tried using XP's ICS. I enabled all the forwarding settings and assigned the PAN a different subgroup IP (192.168.1.xx). VOILA !!! the ppc is able to ping the host (192.168.0.1) I'm assuming the pc is forwarding ping packets to the ppc. but the pc acting as a NAT doesnt help solve my problem. weirdly, the ppc is unable to establish a VPN connection.

the type of VPN is unsecure uncrypted PPTP.

thanks everyone in advance :D
