[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gordonfink:
Update: I switched boards (different carriers), and I could not replicate the problem in either phone. I had hoped that would show that either the board or the LCD assembly was bad, but I didn't learn anything useful either way.

I put the boards back in their respective bodies. It still happens now, but not as often. It also appears to be totally random. I did switch batteries in the problem phone, and it doesn't seem as bad. I will try another battery switch and see if that helps it more.

When the screen goes dark, the menu and back buttons are lit. When it went out last night, I could see that there was still some faint background light that I can't see in the day. I pulled up Youtube and did a video, and when the screen went dark, I could still see movement, but couldn't make anything out. So, the phone is still going in the background.

If I push the power button, it sleeps, then push it again, and it wakes up just fine. Sometimes I have to do that 4 or 5 times for the screen to stay on. Sometimes it goes dark after 10 minutes of use, sometimes a half hour, sometimes just a few.

Any help is appreciated.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gordonfink:
Well, right before throwing the phone into the wall, I noticed a partially removed liquid exposure indicator. I pulled the phone apart to check the motherboard.

In the process of taking it apart, I forgot to take out the SD card. In so doing, it pulled the sim/sd card module off the motherboard. Low and behold, there was a very light corrosive glaze in a few spots under the module.

So, I got out the 99% IPA, and a toothbrush, and cleaned the whole entire board. Since then, it seems to be working fine.

I don't know exactly what part getting cleaned fixed it, because I just cleaned the whole board.

Anyways, maybe that'll help someone with inexplicable issues downstream.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] laughingT:
Thanks for following up with how you fixed the problem. In retrospect, water damage makes sense.

I dropped a Captivate into an ice chest full of melted water last year. I immediately pulled it out and the phone was mostly okay for a while but then the microphone didn't seem to work so well and occasionally the right third of the screen wouldn't respond to touch until I cycled the screen on and off. The water damage sticker and phone interior showed no signs of water.

I will probably sell the old captivate but with full diclosure about the history. Would have been nice if the seller had done the same for you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gordonfink:
Thanks, I should have thought of it sooner, but it didn't seem to have any signs of water damage otherwise.

I ordered the 99% IPA online, because I couldn't find any locally. It works wonders with previously wet boards. You might be able to bring it back.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReeceWyld:
My device is a Tab 3 SM-T210R. I installed root and recovery without any problems however, following the instructions where it says full wipe before installing, I did as such with the use of TWRP.

I keep getting an error saying "Error unable to mount /system" when attempting to install the rom. I'm at a total loss because i have no idea why it happens.

I can restore without a problem, thankfully. But as for mounting a ROM i cannot.

Has anyone with the device experienced this? And what was your work around?

Thanks in advance.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Phone_BrickerT_T:
Okay, so I was trying to install CM 10.2.1, but I got a missing md5 file error, so it didn't work out. I am using TWRP as my recovery, and naturally I wiped everything before flashing, so I then went into some of the recoveries on my sd card to try to restore from those, unfortunately all attempts at restoring have failed,. My next attempt was trying to use the adb sideload feature of TWRP to try to put a new ROM zip file into it, and try to flash that, but TWRP just hangs at "Starting sideload feature" and never really starts it so I am unable to do that. Any ideas on how to get things working? Also why is TWRP unable to do anything correctly? (TWRP v2.6.31)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Why don't you just take the SD card out of your phone and then put it into your computer and move the ROM file and gapps file to it that way?? Unless you don't have the SD card adapter.

I was having random problems with TWRP myself and got Philz Touch and now I'm good. Just a thought.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
TWRP 2.5.0.2 is supposedly the most stable loki recovery for our phone. I would try "downgrading" to that first, If you still have problems with 2.5.0.2 then I would switch to Philz Touch. I had to switch to Philz because TWRP just doesn't like my S4 for some reason. It sucks though, TWRP has a way better UI than CWM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
I agree with you there I rather TWRP. Philz takes some getting used to but m actually really liking it now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
It's just the little things like there's no real graphic interface, it's just a throwback Windows menu, or the fact that dalvik cache needs to be wiped separately, etc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr08wah:
what rom should i flash for this phone?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] soulVoid:
I currently have an 8125 that was flashed with the imate 2.16.9.1 WWE ROM.

I was just wondering if any of the newer ROMs out there would be worth upgrading to?

I dont need any customazations like fonts or ringers. Just maybe an AKU2 rom (ms push); wich most are now anyways.

Im just looking for speed; and maybe a better radio version.

My computer crashed a while back so ive been out of whats hot/not in the ROMs lately.

Any suggestions about newer roms that would be faster/better would be great.

Oh btw, i guess to prevent installation of the EXT rom you just soft reset before it loads?

Thanks.

BTW - ive done alot of post reading but still havent found a good topic on current roms and whats good/bad about them.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] soulVoid:
Bump- it would be nice if after 22 views that someone had something to say positive.

Thanks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] chungeez:
winey

yeah, thas correct. you hit up the softrest right before it starts customizing, when it pops up that message box.

im using the latest official qtek rom, and it's stellar. definitely ran into the unreliable alarm bug for the first time, but as i understand it, thats not a single-rom issue, but rather is universal.

i say if it ain't broke, don't fix it. the only change i could suggest is going to qtek 208 test, which is a mite slower but supports bluetoof a2dp.

Notification Service In a Music Player: Useless or A Must have?​

I ask this question because for the past few months i have been developing a music player, and whilst creating it, i have bumped into some issues and one of them is, a notification service.

I've tried and tried to implement it but haven't been able to so far.

So i need to know people opinions on the whole notification service in music players because if it's not that important then I'll leave it.

I personally think every player should have it but what about you?

Any advice or feedback would be appreciated!

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximus1a:
why don´t you include it and let the user decide to activate it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitephlight:
IMO notification service is vital to the accessibility of your music player. coming from the perspective of one who uses a music player that does NOT have a notification service i can tell you that having to launch the player in order to use media controls gets old quickly. if course as a power user I've already set up my own widgets and notification anyway but the average user will simply move on.
[HTC One X+] Pou007a:
Hi Everyone / Anyone,

I've got and HTC One X+ (64GB) not AT&T. Since a week my phone was being slow and doing crazy things so I managed to reinstall the mod I had (Android Revolution HD 6.2).

First of all I made a backup of all my datas (including SD card) and then I restarted the phone in recovery mode. From there I made a wipe dalvik cache and format of SD card FROM the CWM recovery ... (an old one, didn't remember witch version). Things got harder from this moment because my SD Card isn't recognize at all since the moment I formated it from the CWM, I can't even mount it from the recovery. So I managed to reinstall a newer version of the CWM to see if it works and ... It failed.

Now I'm stuck on the bootloader, I don't have any rom installed because I formated everything into the recovery, the recovery isn't working (when I choose recovery I see the "HTC" logo and the phone shutdown or stay stuck on it.

It's been 7 hours I'm reading all the forums and threads out there to find a solution but nothing seems to work.

I tried to install the lastest CWM Recovery (recovery-clockwork-5.8.4.0-endeavoru) but it didn't worked, previous version didn't worked neither (6.0.3.2 or 6.0.2.8).

I also tried the TOOL (JBFTOOL21) found on this forum but I got the same issue with recovery : still not working.

So I've got two main issues to manage and that's why I really need your help, first I need to figure out why I can't even access the recovery : if someone can help me get it back it could be great!

Here's the informations about the phone :

[HTC One X+] droids@m:
endeavoru = HTC One X

ENRC2B = HTC One X+

U were trying to flash the recovery for the HTC One X on HTC One X+....

Try the CWM recovery from this thread

try flashing this recovery from fastboot and erase the cache....

Then get into CWM recovery and "adb push" the ROM to ur SDCARD

For the Tutorial on adb commands refer to this tutorial
[HTC One X+] Pou007a:
Thanks a lot, my recovery is now working! But I still have a major problem : my SDCard isn't recognize anymore in the phone since I tried to format it from the CWM Recovery, I can't mount it, I can't format, I can't push anything anymore ... I've been searching again for this but it seems I have no luck.

Into the bootloader when I try to place the HBOOT on it says :

"SD checking...

Failed to open usb master mode

[Preload] Failed to open usb master mode

Loading PM35IMG.zip image...

Failed to open usb master mode

Please plug off usb"

I also get these error into the recovery when trying to mount :

"E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]"

But I can access it through the "Install zip" of CWM. It remains impossible anyway to place any ROM onto it, I also tried the "install zip from sideload" but adb doesn't recognize the phone as plugged-in. ADB devices returns an empty list of devices connected ...

Can you help me ... again ?
[HTC One X+] Pou007a:
YES!!!

Finally it was successfull, my phone is reinstalled and working again using your advices, here's the steps I did to make it work :

I reinstalled the good CWM recovery you gave to me, then I tried to access the SDCARD via the recovery but it didn't worked as well so I tried again with ADB (following the link you gave). In fact I had an old version of ADB that's why my phone wasn't recognized. When I used the lastest version and cheking with "adb devices" my phone appears.

I went to the "Install ZIP" section in CWM, and used the "Sideload", just after I checked again via ADB devices which said my phone was in sideload mode, all I had to do is to "adb sideload rom.zip" and here we go, it was installing!

Thank you a hundred times droids@m! I feel so much better now! It was a real challenge anyway!

Thanks again for you precious help!

JUNKED APK

'

As Android Theming does not have any quality control guidelines to be followed whatsoever, some windows themers, unaware of what they are doing, are injecting into their mods mainly useless "Thumbs.db" junk files that are being flashed into users devices that for their turn are too unaware of the matter. There are cases where some SystemUI get doubled in size. Just some numbers from a theme package as an example to illustrate:

So, does this junk injection anyhow affects Android's performance?

Would be a pleasure to hear that Android only caches resources that are formally addressed. If were that so, the issue would be restricted to a storage space matter.

EDIT: obviously for my i9505, if I dared flash these junk, probably would not show any impact but, that would be so for low memory devices?

If you as so wish, the discussion thread is being developed in the link below and your advice there would be very appreciated.

Hi speedyranger

Our hopes seem not probable.

The only Kernel Dev I could contact, first replied with an empty content as he didn't understood the matter and further replies got no response.

As time goes, feels like this subject deserves no attention. Users, themers and devs simply ignore it. There is no fame, glory or profit on discussing this so why should they do it? This is just a problem that is easy to forget. Not only the file but the subject has it's attribute set to hidden too.

I've already fulfilled my intentions now that we 4, may be 5, are aware about the problem. Let the acephalous ones have what they deserve.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
Hey Kdio.

APK is some kind of an archive, which contains precompiled source (classes.dex) and resources (resources.arsc and everything else).

Not-loaded parts of the archive (f.e. thumbs.db) are not affecting ram, neither performance because Android doesn't load them at all.

In the best scenario, apk may load a bit longer, but this "a bit" is less than 0.1 sec. This is ONLY due to uncompressing apk needed for loading classes and resources.

So yeah, mostly we're talking about storage space here.

Hope it helps :).

May I ?

Very thankful for your support here.

.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
Sure.

I mean, thumbs.db is in fact a junk used only by Windows to preload miniatures of images in current folder. It can be safely deleted and it should be, because it decreases size of the theme and it's not needed anyway.

However there won't be any performance/memory hit, so like I said we're mostly talking about storage space here :).

Also, we can get rid of thumbs.db files in a very easy way and one command in bash shell:

for f in $(find . -iname "thumbs.db" -type f); do rm -f $f; done
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kdio:
Yeah!

But, as it is originated inside Windows boxes and for by users (themers) that unknowledge "Thumbs.db" existence, I've prepared some .vbs's for them and for the users too:
