[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v1v14n:
Hi friends,

I've been using my tab for over a year now, but since the last few days I am having issues with charging, the tab shows 0% and when I keep it on charging within a minute the battery shows 100% and then keeps decreasing, even after keeping it for charge the entire night the battery just doesn't charge, even last night it was charging but today when I woke up the battery was only 37%.

I searched online, tried a few solutions that i found, resetting the battery, tried flashing back to some older ROM, din't work. So guys please tell me is this a battery issue which would be solved by changing the battery only or is there any other solution?

Thanks

well bro mine is showing similar problem but it is charging properly ,,,sometimes if the charging process interopts due to any reason so it won't get charged for 3-6 hours but otherwise my battery backup is fine.....:cyclops:
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v1v14n:
Sure, next time onwards. Coming back to the issue its been solved, it was a charger issue, changed the charger and everything is working fine now.

like a ninja i grabbed it so it was under for maybe .5 of a second, i dryed it out over night with toilet paper and a hair dryer, it doesnt turn on, but when i plug it in over usb, windows see;s it and instead of a green light for charging i get a red one.. can my exec be saved?? i love her dearly

1. Buy a new exec

2. Sync it to your PC to recover your files

3. Buy a memory card

4. Buy a backup program and learn how to use it
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] matt1971:
Normally when you get a red light it means that your exec is not recognizing that there is a battery inside it.

Perhaps check the battery? Is it seated right after the fall? could water have got inside the battery? Maybe your exec is OK but your batt is dead

I read somewhere that drying with heat ie hair dryer is a big no no - they need to dry naturally.

I shudder at the thought of this happening to me - but i read elsewhere that a guy dropped his in a puddle and it lived - so maybe you'll be lucky too.

Matt
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mofotron:
cool, im over it, im sure its dead, so all i can do i pull it apart and clean all the boards and hope for the best..

as soon as it hit the water i pulled the battery pack off it, so less than a 3 seconds wet, then with a hairdryer on low.. i heated the case so i belive i got most of the water...

now.. when i plugged i tried to active sync it.. it didnt sync.. but windows found a usb device.. unplugged it.. ready to be pulled apart.. i got my t9 torx screws and switch cleaner anti static gloves/cloths also called into work sick,,.

still not sure about the red light tho.. atleast i got a light i guess.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] richardlai:
USB device huh... Like in bootloader mode I guess, but I don't know if this would help. Sorry.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mofotron:
cool im happy now, after doing an all nighter, and reading the serivce pdf, i pulled it apart blasted it with board cleaner and soaked all the boards.. dryed them by hand.. 6hrs and 14 cups of coffee later its back up :lol:

its up 110% i say 110% because before it took a bath it was looking grubby, bits of crap in the cracks etc etc.. now it looks brand new and works..

now if this should happen to anyone else i took the following steps

as soon as you get your hands back on it.. pull the battery out straight away..

wrap in a clean cleaning towl and gently shake the excess water out of the device

now this part is open to debate

i used a hair dryer to dry the device before i opened it.. on a low heat.. not directly onto the device.. but to heat it..

i rested the device on the heating vent for 4 hrs before cracking it open.

i have to say the confidential service manuel PDF is great thanks guys!!..

after opening the device.. i noticed a few spots of residual crap.. not much, it was easy to clean, few hairy moments put it back together fired it up and now its on the active sync doing its thing, the screen is bright and very clean

cheers guys, and the guys that pmed me, thanks ill return the tools after i get some sleep :)

Congratulations dude! Now don't forget to get a backup program for your Universal before something bad happens again! :wink:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] shuflie:
I'd just like to point out to anyone reading this that if your Universal is looking a bit on the grubby side, chucking into the cat's water bowl and taking a sickie next day to get it all dried out is probably not the best way to go about cleaning it. You run a fairly good chance of a broken phone, and a scratched nose from your very pissed off cat. :lol:

lol @ shuflie!!

Dude, where's that PDF file? I'm having problems looking on the FTP at the mo. :-/
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mtbsoft:
Guys,

We have a radio technician as one of the moderators over on MTekk and he recommends Isoprophil Alcohol (from **** Smith) to expel the water. Ironically it was only a couple of days after he told us what to do that I dropped my XdaII down the toilet (flushed fortunately)!

Steps:

1. PULL THE BATTERY! It is current PLUS water which damages the boards.

2. If you have one (and can)... pull the backup battery.

3. Hold the thing tight and spin it around at arms length to spin out as much water as possible.

4. Open the thing in a clean area on some kitchen towel (or whatever) and fairly drown the boards in the Alcohol, this dispels the water. Use a number of orientations to get the stuff everywhere - under components is the important place. Try not to drown the screen itself, any water in there will disperse over a few days.

5. Use some canned compressed air to blow under suspect areas - gently and not too close or condensation forms, it's cold stuff.

6. Allow the device a good few hours to dry in a naturally warm, but not hot, area. Do NOT use a hair dryer, it can overheat the tiny compnents and literally blow them off the board.

7. Cross your fingers/pray/whatever and fire it up.

My backup battery didn't survive as I couldn't remove it and it shorted out, but the device has been pretty good since, all things considered. A few tiny marks in the screen is the only visible sign.

p.s. While I understand your feelings the post title really is crap, I nearly didn't bother to look.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mdaexecfan:
Dear Mofotron, sounds to me like your device not restarting had more to do with your heating it up for 4 hours. Next time go straight for the isopropryl (aka rubbing) alcolhol and flush all the water out that way. :twisted:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] beachmeat:
Congratulations, awesome that the device is still working!

Is there any chance to see that PDF document´?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mofotron:
Well its been almost a week now and i cant belive my luck, everytime i look at it, i get flashbacks of seeing it sitting in the bottom on the water bowl with the camera flash flickering.

ive had a zillion pda over the years from the palm 1x to the newtons 900/2000/2100 psions etc etc so ive had a fare experience when stuff goes wrong, just this time i think emotion really come over me.

being so late at night at the time 11pmish on a sunday i wasent really in the clearest of minds.. i had to get as much water out of the device as soon as possible, so resting on the a/c vent on 24deg and gently warming it with a hair dryer where the only options i had.. then i started digging in the garage for my old techie kit at like 1am, when i found most of the tools i needed and even borrowed a few off a local off this board!!! as soon as i cracked it open i felt better it was clean water so most of the water stains where easy to remove.

but now it works and thats all i care about.. no visable damage at all, no dead pixels or keys only werid thing is everytime i sync it now the date/time changes to 2-may-2004 3am, but i can live with that.

the sequence of recovery can be explain thusly

retrive device

remove battery and back up battery if you can

try and expell as much water as possible

crack it open

Iso Alcohol everything ( i used isorub its an australian product, from supermarkets, for general household use )

let everything fully dry out before reassembly ( 2-3 days i covered my boards in an anti static cloth for a day and a bit )

carefully put everything back together the video cable cant be bent at a certain point so you only have like 1-2mm or wire to fish thru the connectors.. all should be well if not, im sorry get another device and use it as parts.

Well done MoFo, you managed to recover from a disaster that my wife puts her phones through on a regular basis.

Imagine, knowing that every time you go to the bathroom you have to drop your jeans, then keeping your mobile in your back pocket ... she has heard a premature splash 5 times so far.

Where in Tesco would one find IsoAlcohol? I don't recall seeing it thus far, but I'd have thought WD40 was a pretty good water dispersal agent too?

Good old WD40. Like my grandad said to me all those years ago:

(Anything else and you have your Leatherman, right?)

If only Leathermans had Torx bits, life would be so cool.

Hello to all. As the title suggests, I wanted to know what do you think the combination Rom + Kernel faster for the V500. I do not care aesthetics but just the speed.

Thanks in advance to all.

[G Pad 8.3 General] whoamigriffiths:
You are going to need to do some flashing and testing.

It really depends on how you are going to quantify faster. Benching gaming or just how it feels to you as a user.

We all measure the performance differently.

As a place to start from check out the antutu thread in the help and trouble shooting section of our forum.

You can at least get an idea from the benchmark perspective.

I've reached just over 27k with Mahdi and dynkernel v3. I have my settings on the forum somewhere though of the top of my head I can't remember which thread it was. (I think it was the Antutututu thread or the mahdi rom thread in original development section of forum)

I'm currently running infecteds linaro saber cm rom with its built in kernel.

I haven't benched it yet. I'll try and get round to it today or tomorrow and post up my results.

Also for that 27k benchmark I was using the Qualcomm-optimized Bionic and dalvik files from the n4 forum.

They were giving the tablet a 3k + boost in Antutututu. I'm using art atm and I haven't even tried the Qualcomm-optimized patches since reading that they couldn't be used with cm based roms anymore.

All the best rich

Edit * I can confirm that the Qualcomm-optimized patches don't work with infecteds linaro saber cm.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noitide:
Hi all,

A friend of mine dropped in June his Galaxy s3 and broke the screen. It should be all stock (no root and no usb debug) and the software version should be the 4.1.1 or 4.1.2. He said to me that two days before the accident he deleted some files (pictures) and want them back again. The pictures should be recoverable (with recuva) but i don't know how to access to the phone. When i turn in on the screen is black but the phone seem to work because when i plug it into usb i can access (in mtp mode) to the internal and external memory as usual. Is there any chance to control the phone via PC and then root it and check "usb debug", and if not is there another way?

thank a lot :)

I tried the nvflash recovery 2.2 and it copied all partitions and the command window disappeared but still no change. When i do a factory reset through recovery or through android it doesnt erase anything. still has account names and downloaded apps. Any shortcut i put on the home screen is gone after reboot. If i turn on USB debugging and unknown sources they are reset to off after restart. Tried superoneclick to root but it keeps saying read only file system when its trying to root or push files.

CWM Flashable ZIP for recovery touch

I had noticed that, though the ROM Touchscreen works, but in recovery, the touch don't work. So, have made a CWM Flashable ZIP file, if you flash it, hopefully the touch will start to work inside the Recovery. Please note, This is not a permanent solution. You have to flash this file each time you go in recovery.

Once again, I tasted it with only CM11 Nightlies.

If it works, I will try to modify this file to act like a patch for all ROMs. So that, you can flash any ROM and after that you can flash this patch to make touch usable.
