[HTC Tornado] kkrull:
I would say yes, but since A2DT stereo bluetooth profiles are not currently working, I am witholding my vote for AKU 2.0 or AKU 2.2.

Many native 320x240 videos do not play smoothly on my device. I suspect that you need to re-encode these videos to 320x240x15fps, ideally from 640x480x30fps or higher source.

I have no idea about the best kbs settings or encoding format for smartphone playback. I have been meaning to test this.

Do you use Windows Media Player, TCMPM or something else?
[HTC Tornado] ditch_azeroth:
i use TCPMP for audio and video all the time on my tornado. the built in wmp10 isnt as good as i hoped it would be.

anyway, i reencode my videos to 320x240 23.976fps, 44khz 16bits stereo (128kbps). these play smoothly on my tornado without problems. better yet, get pocketdivx encoder (its freeware ^_^) and let it do the job for you ^_^
[HTC Tornado] RSkillz:
I've written a guide on how to (re)encode movies for the Tornado with Nero Recode 2 and watch them with TCPMP.

[HTC Incredible S] s79336951:
Hi everyone,

Hope to get some help regarding running RUU on my Incredible S vivo.

Short story:

Need to run RUU from fastboot.

What's working:

fastboot

adb (only in recovery)

Not working:

Screen does not turn on. 3rd party repairman said screen was fine, so hoping an RUU will help.

ROM not booting. (tested by putting in SIM card and calling that number).

Questions:

Do I need to relock bootloader to run RUU?

Do I need to flash stock recovery?

Can I run RUU in fastboot mode? How do I do that? Simply boot into fastboot and run the RUU?

Details of phone:

vivo

rooted

s-off

bootloader unlocked (IIRC, unless there is a way to verify from fastboot or adb)

blackrose hboot

CWM 5.0.2.0 recovery

stock ICS ROM (not confirmed)

Long story:

Have a vivo with screen not turning on but has the vibration when pressing the power button when booting up.

ROM does not seem to be running. Able to get into bootloader and can run fastboot commands. ADB commands also work in recovery.

Went to a 3rd party repairman and he said screen was working fine.

I am hoping that a RUU can help fix this. It is a long shot, but I am out of ideas.

Any suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks all!
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
Rerun Blackrose HBOOT installation command script. There should also be a selection to uninstall Blackrose HBOOT. This will replace the Blackrose HBOOT with the stock HBOOT 1.13.0000. From there, run the latest RUU.
[HTC Incredible S] s79336951:
Thanks 072665995. I believe you mean to run this:

BlackRose_IS.exe /uninstall

However, I could not boot into the ROM, and thus is unable to turn on USB Debugging.

Also, I was wondering if I need to return to stock hboot to run a RUU?

One of the featues of blackrose is to "Prevent overwrite HBOOT by RUU".
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
Hmm, you can boot up into recovery and fastboot right?

Maybe try booting into recovery and then running the script. If it still doesn't work, then try fastboot.

Also just for clarification on ROM not booting, does that mean you cannot boot past splash screen or anything or you get to bootanimation and then after that a black screen. If its after bootanimation, then it might be a ROM related issue.
[HTC Incredible S] s79336951:
Ok thanks. I'll try to revert to stock hboot run in recovery or fastboot.

I can't tell for the ROM not booting as the screen does not turn on. However, I did put in a working SIM card and tried calling that number but it was offline, so the phone most likely does not boot fully into android.

Do I need to relock bootloader to run RUU?

Do I need to flash stock recovery?

Can I run RUU in fastboot mode? How do I do that? Simply boot into fastboot and run the RUU?

Thanks.
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
HBOOT 1.13.0000 did not have unlocked or locked bootloaders :)

I don't know of any link to a stock recovery :/

You should. I believe you can just run the RUU as .exe from computer. If not, try extracting RUU from RUU.exe and rename file to PG32IMG.zip, put on SD card, boot into bootloader, bootloader should detect, and it should run (although try first method obviously as it is safer).
[HTC Incredible S] s79336951:
Well, I've successfully ran the 4.14 RUU but there is still no screen :(

Will go to another repair shop to check it out.

Thanks~

Any word on when we can expect the update? It's rumored the S4 and htc one's will get it sometime in January. Do you think we will get it before them or around the same time?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Compusmurf:
Samsung leaked doc that listed the S4 also had the Note 3 for Jan.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] KennyG123:
No one knows. Only lists you will find are approximations for international versions. It will be months after that for the carriers to release it.

And the carriers have the final say on whether your device gets it.

This same question is asked every time a new version of OS is released

The only reason 4.3 was pushed to everyone was for Galaxy Gear compatibility before the holidays.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Vortex777:
Hello All,

This is my first post on this forum. I tried searching, but haven't found the answer yet so posting here.

I have an LG Optimus G which I bought about 2 months ago from ebay. Phone was in brand new condition and the seller claimed that he only used it once (a few hours) but didn't like the interface so he went back to iPhone. The phone has worked flawlessly until today when the menu button quit working. It is not registering any touch on that side; although the button lights up when the home and back buttons or the screen is used. It is only the menu button that has gone bad. I have not recently installed any updates either. The last update I installed was 11/19/2013. It is running Android version 4.1.2.

Is there a fix to this problem? I am really bummed that being my first android phone, I was starting to like this phone a lot and now this problem has come up!

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Rishi.:
Welcome to the Community.

Although , I haven't heard about this problem earlier. But in case if that's a hardware problem , then with some tweaks , on-screen buttons can be used , like in N4. It's an alternative.

However , for that the phone should be rooted.

In case if you have warranty available , then you should probably take it to the nearest service center. But if not , then I guess rooting it shouldn't cause any issue , as there is no warranty left to void.

Apparently , is there any app that you have installed recently that is meant for tweaking some settings of your droid ??
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Vortex777:
Rishi,

Thank you for the welcome and the quick reply. I didn't install any app for tweaking the settings. The last two apps I installed were Mercury Messenger and Skype.

As far as warranty goes, how do I find out if it is still in warranty or not since I bought the phone on ebay? Not sure how long the seller had the phone before I bought it.

Do you think hard resetting would help?

Thanks
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Rishi.:
If it were a hardware problem, I don't think hard reset will do any good.

But you can try to take a backup and then try resetting it once.

As far as warranty is concerned, you can check with the owner of the phone from whom this phone was purchased on eBay. Of he has a valid bill with remaining warranty then maybe you could be lucky.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Rishi.:
You can try this to check if it's really not registering any touch on the home key.

GO through this step. ( I assume , you're on Stock )

In the phone type in : 3845#*970#

It'll open a hidden menu with loads of options for testing .

GO to : HW Device test (options 2 from top)

-> Touch test, ( option 4 from top.)

->Touch sensing test.

You can perform various touch test and buttons test there to see what areas are having trouble registering touch inputs.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Vortex777:
Thanks Rishi,

I performed the touch test and yes the menu location is not registering touch. Rest everything else is registering touch correctly. I have contacted the seller to see if they can help.

So, say if it is not in warranty, what else can be done?

Thanks!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Rishi.:
If not under warranty then it's going to cost quite a bit. I have no idea about the cost and internals though.

IMO, you can continue with the onscreen overlay button fix, if it asks too much to get repaired.

It'll like as if you were using a nexus 4 with external memory support and lte.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Phillyz96:
I dropped my phone few days ago and now my home, menu and back buttons are not working properly. espesially the back button 'goes on' sometimes and it shuts everything what i open immediately. home and menu buttons just dont respond sometimes on my touch. Is there anyway I can fix it myself? I also thought about the on screen buttons, but couldnt find any tweaks for that.

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McNickles:
I know this is my first post and all, but I did look around extensively. No info really on the 810's Wiki either. I was given this phone from my brother. IMEI checks out fine. Locked to T-Mobile. I called support to see if I could get an unlock code. They suggested I called Nokia. (Hour and twenty-two minute hold time) Sums up for them telling me to call T-Mobile.

This is my first W8 phone, so I don't know if flashing or installing custom firmware would just get rid needing a sim unlock. I know there is websites that I can pay to have it unlocked, but I enjoy saying money. If it is something I can do on my own. I would appreciate very much if some one could point me in the right direction.

Thank you
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Take it to a T-Mobile store, say you need to go overseas and want to use a local number. There should be no problem. I've unlocked lots of phones this way. They limit how often you can do it, but unless you replace phones more often than once a year you won't even have to argue about it.

Has anyone activated and used the Samsung Epic 4G on TracFone.

I was considering buying one of these, and activating it with TracFone, basically just to use for light mobile voice and data usage, and mostly for WiFi browsing.

TracFone claims you can activate a CDMA phone with them, but researching their site is extremely vague, and I was hoping a TracFone user could shed some light.

I was wondering how much it would cost to activate the phone, if you can use it with a third party ROM, and if you can buy a double the minutes card and use it with this phone.

Thanks for any info.

Hi

I followed the instructions of another user and cut and paste the active program from my windows mobile 5 startup folder elsewhere. This has eradicated the frankly awful O2 Active GUI but I am left with the O2 Connections Icon in the Start Menu Bar.

I noticed there was a shortcut for connections with the same O2 icon in the startup folder. If I remove this I expect it will remove the icon (that never worked as detailed in the manual anyway) but I am worried about possible knockon effects, like loss of connectivity.

Does anybody have any experience with this?

Cheers

Sean
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] GhostyDog:
So, I got impatient and thought why not just give it a go. I cut and paste the connections startup item into my personal folder then did a soft reset.

Low and behold the daft none working O2 item was no longer there and has been replaced by a nice text message notification icon.

YAY.

So is that it? Am I completely de O2 Active'd?

We shall have to wait and see, suffice to say my xda is far far quicker than it was before.

Hey guys, I've done a lot of searching in this forum and found a lot of conflicting answers, so decided to start a fresh thread. I've been on 4.2.2/MF3 for a while now running Safetrap. I'm looking to take the OTA from AT&T and upgrade to 4.3.

I havent seen any root methods for 4.3 yet, but the question is, can I upgrade to 4.3 and retain root if I am running the latest version of SuperSU Pro with survival mode enabled?

A custom recovery with the option for installing ROMs is not needed, especially since I havent been able to do that since I updated to MF3. All I need is to keep root under 4.3 and I'll be more than happy, thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Xeon.Jamal:

Hi so there is a way to update stock to 4.3 and continue using safestrap to run 4.2.2 roms????I would doubt that with what Ive read so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hobojester:
I too can confirm this works using Survival Mode from SuperSU Pro (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu.pro&hl=en).

Now, that being said, being a very big noob myself (switching over from heavily tweaked jailbroken iPhone 5), I did this, all was well, I thought I had some issues with some apps and thought 'hmm... maybe I'll just downgrade to MF3 and see if the problem is fixed'. Yeah, attempting to do that with Odin has left me soft-bricked, but for all intents and purposes (that I can tell) it's actually hard-bricked 'cause Kies did nothing, Odin does nothing, if I understand things correctly the only thing that could possibly help is if we had the MD5's available to us for MK2, which, my searching is coming up empty. So, point is according to what I can tell, if you go MK2, there is NO going back to 4.2.2, so use caution.

So just an important safety tip there (unless someone wants to correct my noobness).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Yes. I can confirm that enabling "survival mode" in SuperSU and updating will keep your root; i did this on my pphone coming from MF3.

However, with that being said, i quickly unrooted from there because i had issues with MMS/messaging and phone calls not being recieved, and i did not want to reset my phone. If you run into similar issues as i am not the only one reporting those issues you can so a reset on your data (your root will not be affected, you will be rooted after the reset) or an unroot will work.

happy updating :cowboy:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RockRatt:
First with Safestrap you CAN flash Roms. It is just limited to about 10 or so Roms that will work as they need to be 4.2.2 based.

Now with that said for those that ONLY want root on MK2 then someone in the Verizon thread has a WORKING ROOT available for MK2 4.3 firmware here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2565758 and it DOESN'T come with the maliscious code that Kango and VRoot does. This DOES NOT give you recovery but it does give root. So thank the OP in that thread for helping out the community. I did and I HOPE I will never need to use it!!!

Good luck and Happy Rooting...

I have a strange problem with my Galaxy S2 Plus battery ...

I got my s2 over a month .. but now here is a thing :

I charged the battery and went to sleep .. as usual .. phone is idle everything was disabled (WIFI - GPS - DATA - and most of apps) .. when I woke up I found that the battery percentage is 80% .

after a while during the day it drained sharply to from 63 % to 32% in seconds ....

then a charged it so it acted normally till the night ...

the next day... got the same problem in the morning ,,, few hours later ... I charged it when it became 92% it suddenly became 100% and fully charged...

I searched over and over and haven't found a similar problem ....

My question :

Could it be the system JB 4.2 or the battery is damaged ... what should I do ??

Thank you in Advance ...
