This happens to me when I do something VERY stupid like try to restore a full backup from an older AKU version or break something while playing around in the registry. However, it can also happen when a program crashes in a way that the OS can't handle. Consider it WM5's BSoD ^_^ If it happens often in one program try reinstalling that program but, if it happens often when you're just opening, let's say, the settings or programs menus...you'd be best of performing a hard reset. Mind you, this is all anecdotal but it's what's worked best for me during my tinkering.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kull:
Thanks

Thanks for the clarification, I kind of figured this out. I did a full restore using SPB Backup and when some prog. ran for the first time this error showed up, but after a soft reset they have gone. Hopefully they remain like this.

I have the same problem...no matter which ROM i used. I suspect is the HTC X software. I need further ivestigation.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] vijay555:
The only time I've ever seen this happen is when you use a close window app to shut down (not minimise) running apps.

When I wrote VJOkButt, I had to write in various exceptions for the OS, because trying to properly close the Control Panel, Programs and some other apps causes this error. Try disabling your closer software and replilcating the crash.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] alexanderi:
Most of the crash I encountered was due to closing the dialing section of the phone with HTC X application. Soon, after I remove that, I 've never encountered it anymore.

Perhaps, I should have configured the HTC X apps not to close by tapping the X.

Anyone else has better idea about HTC X apps?

In some other cases it has been the Battery Status 104.203 beta4

Try another overclock utility or a different build.

I had the same issues and I removed batt stat and its fine.

One other thing, I have 2 8125's running same rom......one is a G4, the other is a G3.....the 8125 G3 is too fragile and likes to be hard headed...the G4 is pure muscle...throw anything at it with no problems.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Revontheus:
Let me explain how torrents work buddy...

It's basically like downloading a book...what you are downloading are "pages" of the books ( called parts ) now torrent's speed is based on how many people ( peers ) are downloading the same thing you're downloading in the whole world. So if you are the only one downloading it you will get a speed of 0.0Kb/s which is no speed at all

Of course having a good Internet Connection increases the speed too

While downloading torrents via Mobile is highly discouraged you could try underclocking it to 500Mhz when downloading

Hi everybody,

I've just installed the Purity ROM 4.4.3 on my Nexus 4. I think it's the best ROM ever, but I noticed it hasn't the option "show quick settings panel when no notification", and it has only "left corner or right corner".

Is it possible to add this function?

Could anyone explain me how to do it?

For example i think I have to edit the systemUI.apk, but i don't know which files/strings i have to modify.

Thank you!

Hi, guys. So some time ago I updated my T989 from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 with Kies. Was ok at first but then I started getting some really annoying bugs and problems so I decided I want to go back to 4.0.4. I read all I could find about doing it... in the end I downloaded the firmware from sammobile and flashed it with odin following the sammobile instructions. Now my phone is stuck at the logo and I am not sure what to do. Should I try different firmware, should I try different kernel or simply reset it? Thanks in advance :)

I believe that wipes all your data so I wanted to avoid that, and it might not work according to some peoples experience,

Awesome, will this be an odin flashable tar that will keep your data? I have been struggling for the past few hours trying to update without losing all my data. I flashed this rom [http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2498233] that is stock and includes knox but Adb doesn't work for me and the at&t software update says its up to date, which its not, so I think the rom might have a problem, and I'm trying to figure out how to reinstall twrp so I can restore my backup but knox is blocking me. Hopefully I can just odin your rom and towelroot and be done with it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jakeuten:
could you make an update.zip for users with stock recovery as well?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
OTA shouldn't wipe any of your data. The way it works is it patches the existing files on your device with any changes to bring it up to date. Shouldn't touch any user data at all.

It'll be recovery flashable. Im not sure yet if Ill be trying to create an Odin flashable one. Will need to have someone pull the system.img slightly differently if I do. (Would need to Odin flash 4.3, flash TWRP, boot straight to recovery and flash the OTA, then while still in recovery dump the partition.) Even then, no guarantee it would work quite right. These things can be a little finicky.

How is Knox blocking TWRP though? You should be able to flash that via Odin. Since you updated using the OTA though, every time you reboot, it will rewrite the stock recovery. So when you flash TWRP via Odin, uncheck the Auto Reboot box, then after the flash is successful, pull the battery. Then put it back in and boot straight to recovery and flash your rom.

I will try. No guarantees though. Its been a long time since I've messed with OTA's, so I'm not completely sure I will remember exactly what to do with it. I should be able to do it though. Just not making promises!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stoobie-doo:
Not sure whether you can use Mobile Odin Pro to do that. Extracting the file from the OTA.zip and renaming it from 2400258.cfg to 2400258.zip makes it recognized in MOP, and the options are there to avoid the wipe, but I know earlier OTAs like that did wipe.

Note - I have only gone so far as loading it into MOP; waiting to see if someone more foolhardy than me is willing to actually do it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lifetimes:
Tempted to try it (flash through stock recovery) but not my phone lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Unless MO is written to specifically handle it, it will probably fail. (Im not sure if it is or isn't)

Sorry if I was misinformed about it wiping data. On TMobile neither OTA's or flashing in Odin ever wipes data. Afaik, Odin will only wipe data if there is a data.img included in the .tar file. Our OTA's have never touched anything but dalvik on the data partition either from what I remember.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stoobie-doo:
Let me be more precise; the technique I was talking about is found at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1767827 and applies the OTA in a way that wipes. Not sure whether MO would do the same or not; I haven't played with it since the upgrade to 4.3 last year and my memory is hazy.

Oh if anyone is curious...towelroot works like a charm for the update. Currently rooted, debloating as we speak.

Also if anyone else is having issues like what I had. Here's what I did to get it done...

Restored with Odin. Once it rebooted, held the buttons to get into stock recovery.

Went ahead and did the adb sideload with the configuration file.

Made a sandwich. Came back, and it was done!

Note: The sandwich part is optional, but highly recommended. Unless you want to stare at your screen for a little while.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] indymx:
I did an ODIN back to stock (even though I was stock already) just to make sure the partitions were correct and the boot loader was correct. Then re ran the update from External SD via stock recovery. Got no errors this time and got updated to 4.4.2. (I tried OTA before booting to recovery, still failed)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stoobie-doo:
Tried sideloading extracted .zip from link via ADB and got verification failed. Does phone need to be unrooted for that to work? Tried OTA; also failed (also still rooted). Tried loading from recovery - couldn't mount SDCard. Suggestions?

Would hate to unroot via SuperSU and not be able to get it back it back if updates fail once unrooted.

Edit: Well, I am a dummy; I had pushed the original zip, not the extracted cfg file, but, I did get a different error: "/system/bin/ddexe" has unexpected contents. Is that due to be rooted, or some other issue? Anyone seen this and have a fix?

It's very possible. I'd run odin or the flashable zip in the development section. I was having issues just by being rooted as well.

Can you download it over wifi? Are you rooted or stock?

Also, to confirm anyones suspicions...I rooted, and have TWRP recovery installed again after taking the OTA. towelroot and mobile odin for those wondering.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
You must be 100% stock, not rooted or the ota won't work. I suggest flashing the stock firmware via mobile odin, factory reset, reboot, then try the update. (This would only work if youve updated to 4.3 via Odin or ota in the past. Mobile odin does not flash the full firmware so you'd need to already have that.)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stoobie-doo:
I may be in the same boat. Stock plus root via CF-AutoRoot on 4.1 and then I went to 4.3 via Mobile Odin (including stock recovery). If you were me, would you use Mobile Odin to do the MJB Stock Restore; just unroot via SuperSU; or some other method to make 4.4 work?
