[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndmuni:
My S2 boots up fine (screen very bright and animation color not natural) after finishing boot the soft keys lights up but the screen goes black. When i press the home button the screen just flickers, shows the screen for a split second then goes black.Sometimes after many attempts pressing the power button it wakes but screen at full brightness and color is not natural. When i try to press the screen brightness to adjust it goes black immediately.

What i have tried so far, bought a new LCD screen and replace but problem persists. So its not a LCD problem. It was running stock ICS so i flash stock JB after wiping, no help. Root with Philz kernel but when i go to recovery screen goes black so i try Speedmod kernel with CWM recovery and the screen shows the Recovery menu I try to flash a custom rom (can't remember which one) but it won't boot up stuck at splash screen.I even flash GB and ICS stock still no luck.

The phone works fine calls can still get through, download mode screen and recovery screen ok. I actually have not use this phone for a year but the last time i use use it was working fine.

Google all the different Samsung device if anyone has this problem but no one seem to have the problem that i have so maybe if anyone knows or suggest anything else which i haven't tried.

Thanks for viewing
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndmuni:
I have found the root of my problem, the damn brightness control in settings is not working. Brightness is at full, unable to set to auto or manually dim the screen.

Screen will only wake with black background. Have to tear apart the phone and figure whats wrong :(
[HTC One X] cferns:
I just installed the new Color Os Rom for the one x. Everything works fine except whenever i send or receive a message through whatsapp it crashes and the service restarts. Does anyone know what i can do to fix this.
[HTC One X] convict_moody:
I donnow if u are the only one facing this problem or if it is a ROM-Fault, but did u follow the clean procedure of flashing COLOR OS?
[HTC One X] cferns:
Yup. Did a clean flash of the rom. No issue with any other apps.
[HTC One X] corPain:
same problem here..tried with whatsapp and whatsapp+ and everytime you send a message it's crashing.
[HTC One X] convict_moody:
Did u try to mod whatsapp and stop phone identity permission?
[HTC One X] corPain:
Nope didn't try to mod it and actually don't know which part needs to be modded.

Would really like to use this ROM but without whatsapp it's quite useless.

I think a few people flashed this ROM so can anyone test if they can get whatsapp to work?

Don't know if it's a common error or something else went wrong on my side but would be helpful to know if anyone besides me and the OP can get it to work
[HTC One X] frost3003:
you are not alone

my whatsapp restarts anytime i click send after typing my message. Also, it doesnt crash when i open the app and type nothing but crashes immediately i leave the app. i dont want to change the OS cos am loving it. any solutions?
[HTC One X] jay_ind:
Whatsapp not working in only ColorOS ver 2.0, It is working in Ver 1.0 or 1.4 or 1.xx...Any Solution from Developers for working Whatsapp in ColorOS Ver 2.0...???

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzh:
I was playing around with some other phones these days, which also have hardware keys, but differently placed (comparing to i9070).

I have noticed that I like more having BACK button on the left, insted of right, since I'm righthanded.

So can this switching places be done in CM10.2 (or any other rom) - to have BACK on the LEFT and MENU on the RIGHT?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
Use some root explorer (like ES File explorer, put it in RW mode in options)

Locate /system/usr/keylayout/ dolder and in atmel_mxt_ts.kl swap HOME and BACK.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzh:
I dont have that file in that folder.

But i have: sec_touchkey.kl

With menu and back lines in it?

Should i change them here?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
Yes, remember where is that folder if you want to change it back. Reboot after change.

Success, thx!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Life Engineer:
Hey all!

I like my G2 and I like where the development for this phone is going!

We all like too custom roms, custom kernels and tweaking/modding.

However, I can see there's a lot of aspects of this phone that has not been tweaked, modified, played with etc...

Mainly I can think of:

1-Quickwindow enhancements:

Maybe make it show more widgets, make it show all notifications (maybe the notification bar), can assign actions to cover flip on and off, etc... I a sure our great developers can look into it.

2-Qslide apps

As you know, Qslide apps are limited to little number of apps. I think this can be exploited somehow to be able to run any app in that mode!

3-You can think of anything else besides rom and kernel!

Sorry for mentioning you our great developers (between other of course) but I would like this issue to be looked at, at least.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazroui:
i did start a thread about dual booting roms as i previously had that on my samsung s2 and really miss having my daily driver rom on all day n simply switch to test rom when needed or have time to find bugs/test

we have a good amount of devs but yes development is kind of slow, probably due to kitkat or whatever reason

for now stock rom with a lil tweaking is working good for me having all features available with no problems, still miss taking part in helping devs test stuff out

A dark/white theme rom would be great. I know that LG G2 is already mostly white but it be really nice to have that type of color scheme.

I'd like to give them to two board members who have been helpful.

Post a link in the thread to something helpful you contributed in the last week - answering someone's question, posting a review on a product, whatever.

I've got meetings all morning, and will pick two before I go to lunch and send out codes.

Kies can restore and update the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stein5830:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2301259

Description: This is a guide (based similar to my previous guide for the Verizon Galaxy S III) that will help you flash a 99.9% stock factory image for the Verizon Galaxy S4 overwriting every partition on the device back to stock. The ONLY major change I have made is for your convenience I have modified the factory image to keep all your data/apps/settings and internal storage partition intact. This method should help you restore from any soft-brick that you may encounter without having to wipe your data.

Minor Warning: Please note that if you had any special mods that you had to manually flash before or move on the system partition (like Google Wallet, AOSP 4.2 apps like camera and gallery, etc...) they will be lost as you are overwriting your system partition to factory stock. Please make sure to do the needful with your mods before following this guide (for example resetting the Google Wallet app).

This I didn't know. So if I had a bad flash on my phone but my PC will recognize the device, I can use KIES to restore to stock??
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mitra87:
Hi all, I just got a Defy+ and I noticed that auto rotation is not wotking. Phone is always in portrait mode (auto rotation is enabled in options), I tried couple of roms and result is same. In CM roms compas calibration is working but screen is still stuck in portraid mode. Flashing officialy SBF didnt help....Is this hardver problem or there is still hope for me?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mitra87:
Looking at these pictures Defy on the left (my defy) has problem with compas. On flat surface both show N correctly but when I place them up my defy is showing wrong N. Is there any way to fix this compas error?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mitra87:
Some news...each time I flash SBF auto rotation works only for 5 sec, so I startet to experiment with system/bin/akmd2. I was mowing that file all over the phone memory, giving him diferent permision...and I dont know how but after phone restart auto screen rotation worked. I was so hapy so I decided to flash CM10 and after that flashig autorotation didnt work again. I have tried to repeat steps with akmd2 file but no help. And one strange thing...I have flashed WiUi JB 3.1.21 and in that rom my autorotation is working. Unfortunately that rom is laggy for me and I cant use it. question is why autorotation is working on this wiui rom but not workign on official sbf and other cm roms? Can I use some files from wiui system/bin to put them into CM and make screen autorotation working again? Thx
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mitra87:
Solved

All this time autorotation option didnt work and two days ago I have installed game from google market "Traffic Racer". After playing that game for 10 min I noticed that autotoration is working :fingers-crossed: . I thing playing that game with tilt somehove triggered my sensors again and now after flashing many roms autorotation is still workin.

Hello to the community!

Looking for help regarding a Japanese KDDI AU Xperia VL.

The phone is unlocked and rooted but would not support 3G or LTE data services (in Germany) so far...

Technically the phone should be capable of it (as the V or the AX version) but seems to be limited to the KDDI frequency bands so far. How can I get rid of this limitation?

Flashing an Xperia AX ROM?

Thanx a lot!!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oae08:
I dropped my phone about 3 days ago and now it seems my microphone has problems. The sound in calls is very low, barely hearable, and if i shout it becomes slightly understandable.

I tried increasing the microphone sensitivity to the max (31) using stweaks, it improved it a little but still its very low.

Has anyone experienced such an issue and any help tips or advice on how to fix this ￼

Thanks for your time.

Battery repair for Mi700

Hello XenodromeZynosZ,

Thanks for initiating to get new ROM for Mi700.

I face the same battery issue with my Mi700, & have hopeless encouter with CSL support.

When found out that Mi700 has the same spec with ViewPad 7, I went to Viewsonic for help when I visit singapore few months back, guess what, they help me replace the battery for SG$30, so I guess you can try out Viewsonic support at your area & see if you've better luck.

If you visit singapore & like to visit their support center, their contact is 02-66039870 service@sg.viewsonic.com, they take half a day to fix my battery.

I also have them to refresh my mi700 to viewpad 7 2.2.2 firmware, running without issue :D, the only thing is they do not want to share with me how to backup their ROM, I'm trying to backup this stable ROM before I try out any custom ROM, so any suggestion are welcom.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] dextro73:
Any good news for your tablet bro....??:D:D:D

Yeah I've got an unlocked bootloader and was able to update to kit kat but I had to manually update

Could you elaborate on how you updated to 4.4? My bootloader is unlocked with cwm recovery installed. Im assuming I need to revert to stock recovery?

[Moto X General] david.herh:
ok here ya go

so since no one else answered yet. go to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2452246

and grab the system dump but dont follow his instructions they didnt work for me. if you keep reading thorough it you will find all you need to do is download the system dump and place it in the root of your storage. after that give the phone a reboot and click check for updates. it will find it and ask you if u want it moved and installed and will do it for you.

Thanks for the reply, that thread seems to make everything unnecessarily complicated, but I still can't seem to find out if this method will work with custom recovery. I'm rooted with cwm, do I need stock recovery to do this? I'm on a 2yr contract, don't wanna risk a brick by trying uninformed.
[Moto X General] JasonK75:
I would stay away. Everything I've read on the other thread points to you will soft or hard brick the phone. It basically needs to be stock everything, and possibly locked bootloader, for this to work and not brick. I might be a bit off, but I do know that those who are stock and locked haven't seemed to have any issues.

For all of you still waiting, I just had the following chat with a Sprint Rep:

[Moto X General] tjeeeeee:
Unlocked bootloader is fine you just need to flash the camera update via toolkit to restore stock recovery then put the 44 update on the root of your card and check for updates so it updates the phone then you flash twrp or cwm and apply root again
[Moto X General] momentary:
Can anyone tell me where to get the stock recover.img? Im having issues getting the toolkit to work reliably on my laptop, but if i can fastboot the stock recovery i have the update on my device already.
[Moto X General] momentary:
Ok, I managed to find stock recovery, and fastboot it. I'm getting ready to attempt the update. I've renamed the update file to Blur_Version.143.44.8.ghost_sprint.Sprint.en.US

But what file extension do i use? Just leave it .rar?
[Moto X General] Kittiesoncrack:
If you're on stock recovery and 4.2.2 Camera update, you're good. and this is the file you need: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwZnjPxZlyC7R2NmR2NJWl95QlE/edit everything is good to go. Just place in /sdcard and hit system update and it should say you have an update available from sd card. hit copy and let the magic happen.

EDIT:

File from abiezer's thread so credit to him

EDIT: if I were you, just to be safe, rsd to 4.2.2 camera update. it wipes your data so be backup all your photos and stuff. I did that and I had 0 problems
[Moto X General] momentary:
Ok. I got it. Running KitKat and all is well so far. Thanks for all the help guys. Relevant information for those interested

I was on the stock camera update with unlocked bootloader and cwm recovery w/root. All I did was fastboot the stock recovery, then put the update file in /sdcard. Then settings, check for for updates and voila.

It seemed a lot more complicated than it actually was, or maybe I was just being a chicken about it. Either way, I'm updated. Thanks again.
[Moto X General] tjeeeeee:
I downloaded it as a zip, and i used the toolkit to flash the stock updated camera firmware, it put the right recovery so that i could update with the official zip
[Moto X General] shloho:
I have an unlocked bootloader and I'm rooted with twrp recovery. My phone downloaded the ota. Do I just need to flash stock recovery and update, or is there something else.
[Moto X General] shaya4207:
Download the SBF .zip for the version that you have, in there you should find a recovery.img, system.img and boot.img file, fish all of them one by one and then you can install the OTA (I'll edit with better instructions soon)
