[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mxmaniac:
Just wondering, is Android a ridiculously stupid OS to troubleshoot?

Does android make it very hard to find exactly what the OS is doing? Are problems almost impossible to find, or do people just not know where to look?

The reason I ask, I've had a problem where my phone will often lag for up to 10 seconds, especially upon waking. I've spent over a year searching for the solution, tried all sorts of diagnostic apps, and I've even asked the question in detail multiple times in various places over the past year with zero response.

A 10 second lag should not be hard to diagnose. If it were windows, you could easily look at the task manager and see what errant program is causing it. On android however I have been completely unsuccessful to identify something which should be so blatantly obvious. What's the deal?

Hi all.

Hope you can help me save my bricked g2.

I cannot enter the download mode:

When pressing volume up + power, I got that screen:

Does anyone know what that means? (I can't read Korean)

When pressing volume up + volume down, I get this screen:

What is this menu for?

Please help!!!!!!!!!:crying:

Hi.

I´m no crack...

but have you installed CWM? then you should try pressing POWER + Vol+, after appearing LG-Logo release and immediately press both again. Then you´re in hard reset mode, press POWER 2x to enter CWM (or if not installed hard reset your device).

Or you try flashing back to stock ROM as described here:

I bricked my d801 and this method worked for me http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2471370&highlight=unbrick. I was stuck on the LG logo as well with the LED flashing. Not sure if it will work for yours, but can't hurt to give it a shot.

Try powering off without pulling the battery. The way to do that is to hold volume down + power and hold it for about 10-15 seconds after the logo disappears. The logo may reappear but keep holding the buttons down and the screen should go blank pretty quickly. Make sure you have the updated drivers installed on your computer. Then follow the instructions in that post. Make sure you go to the Options menu and select upgrade recovery. Good luck!

As for reading Korean, use the photo recognition function in Google Translate. It does a decent job.

Hi,

I gave my S3 (stock rom french carrier bouygues) to my son and order a new sim to a different carrier than the original one

Sim arrived and my son, try to install it

The problem is that he answer sim 4 digit code a lot of time when network unlock (carrier unlock) code was asked

My S3 has more than 6 month so I asked my provider to give me the unlock code...

They did but it doesn't work.

Call again.. they told me that carrier unlock code input is limited and if the unlock code doesn't work I had to send it to Samsung to unlock it.

I spent my week end to try all possible unlock process exposed on this xda amazing forum and didn't succeed with anyone

: Voodoo with and without Patch and busibox, GalaxSim Unlock, menu *#197328640# ...

Result ;

Voodoo & GalaxSim can't read SIM unlock statut

Code *#7465625# doesn't work

*#197328640# doesn't have the Unlock Phone menu ("Menu doesn't exist)

All those process has been done with new installs, wipe each time (makes me going mad!!!)

Is any one has a solution.

Thanks for you help

nb : hope my english is enough good to make my problem understandable...

Might not be anything but did you upgrade to version 4.3 ?

If you did this might be the problem, I have an S4 that is locked to Bell and have tried multiple sites and Bell directly, all gave me the same unlock code.

When I tried to enter the code it kept saying unsuccessful

My guess is that along with the update Samsung locked some security feature for unlocking the phone

Right now my option is to sell the phone or wait until Samsung launches a new update

On Samsung phones I guess you can turn root on/off by changing the variable in default.prop, but I have my phone rooted and it says ro.secure=1. How would I modify the bootloader? What would I look for to find out what I'm talking about?

I would like to try compiling my own kernel too. XDA University has information about compiling the kernel, but it is kind of unclear about how to put the actual package together though, or at least confusing. It says just zip the image and .ko files together and then it is good to flash, but then gives a file structure tree with unknown files? I downloaded a kernel to test from this site and the file structure was different, and it also reset the whole phone to get the job done.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giops:
1) Yep. You need a google account to download an app, just like the app store. You can download it from the Google Play app on your phone or you can download it Google Play site (you have to be logged on your pc) choosing the device from a list of your devices associated to your account.

2) You have to install the software of your device producer (eg: for samsung it's kies). It will install the driver that you need. In the most recent devices, installing drivers is not necessary. eg: my phone is seen by my pc as a normal phone and i have the access to the SD and the Internal Storage of it. On some devices, android will ask you if you want to use your phone as a mass storage drive. If you do this, your pc will see the device as an USB-key.

3) When you install an app, the store will advice you, giving some info about the permissions that the app need to work. If you need an app, but you don't want it to use wifi or 3g data, you can use a firewall (android firewall) to limit the access to the network.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
i have a mobile odin guide...but it might be a little to much info for you out the gate....more or less on this device. if you want a recovery you have to flash a kernel...as ryan said...our kernels and recoveries are tied together. so you need to go to rwilco12's repo and find a kernel with a custom recovery (cwm ) that is compatible with the rom you are currently running.

if the device is on jb 4.1.2 you need to grab a gb27 kernel that has cwm in it....but if the device is on ics....you really need to odin the gb27 rooted one click that wipes data...this is needed because jb has a preload partition that we need to make room for.

there is a qbking77 video showing how to do this....but even easier than that...there is a link in rwilco12 repo for this exact one click...and it has instructions as well as a link to a video... i think.lol

if you are on jb 4.1.2 hit me back and ill walk ya through a mobile odin flash for the kernel....easy as pie...

Hi,

after some problems (loop on boot animation - after re-wipe and reformatting the sdcard twice with gparted got it) got ROM2SD running.

Very smooth and stable until now!

A practical, may be beginner's, question: I'd like to leave some big data folders on the internal flash (like offline maps for osmand and Locus, ebooks and such), i.e. sharing them if booting from internal rom.

Unfortunately not all apps allows configuration of external data folders.

My naive idea was using of symbolic links ("ln -s /storage/sdcardi/0/Books /storage/sdcard0/Books") but it seems not to be supported:

"link failed Function not implemented"

Other ideas?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tdodd:
When I first installed Omni my phone stayed hot for ages. It turned out that Google+, which normally I do not use and have frozen on previous ROMs, was going absolutely nuts doing some sort of background sync and downloading truckloads of data. The app was running in the background for over an hour with the CPU cores pretty much maxed out. Maybe your problem is the same. Maybe not. Eventually G+ finished its evil work and the phone performance and temperature returned to normal.

I ran with the ROM for a few days and it seemed stable, but I've actually reverted to Samsung's latest stock ROM as KitKat really wasn't doing it for me. Basically I saw no tangible benefits but did lose some convenient features and interface changes were definitely a backward step with Omni. Maybe when it's matured and ART is working fully I'll take another run at it.
