I have a xperia tx and I updated to jelly been using PC after that every thing is working but wifi

I don't know what to do please help! me I'm kinda new in this field and I also have read somewhere that I should downgrade But I don't know how! Is that the only way ? also what are the risks ? and how can I do it ??
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] jamadi1377:
Please, Please I need answer fast ASAP
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
Are you rooted?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] jamadi1377:
No But if i have to do it then just tell me how ! :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
Well, here's the deal. I think you might have not wiped data when you upgraded. If you did, ignore the following.

If you didn't wipe data, you can either do a factory reset and see if it fixes your problem, or, root your phone, and delete the /data/misc/wifi folder with a root file manager, and then reboot, and check your wifi. (You will lose all saved wifi access points).

I don't know which version of JB you upgraded to, but for rooting I'd recommend you check the towelroot thread in the General section, it might be your easiest option for rooting. I haven't used it personally, but it seems to be working.

First thing you should do also, is read the Stock FTF thread and more importantly the All-in-one thread.

Thanks the factory reset did it.

[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ceymoonie:
Hey :),

I was wondering; is it possioble to emulate the Ouya controller on devices like the JXD s7800b?

Because I don't have an Ouya, but I want to play Ouya games like The Amazing Frog.

But the input isn't the same, if I play a Ouya game on the JXD s7800b the controls doesn't work.

Is there a way to emulate it?

Regards Casper.

Hi,

Does Android have a voice recognization app as correct and accurate as Apple's Sirri, to dictate text and for emails?

Heard that Samsung has bought Sirri too.......is that correct?

I don't know if I put my question in the right place.

This is a charger I just ordered by chance with a promotion code :

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00IP93LCM/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1403597888&sr=1-1&keywords

My main purpose to choose this one is because most usb chargers usually cannot be the ideal power source of Apple products such as iPhone and iPad, let alone using different at the same time. At least so far this charger did not brought me any issue.

This one says it can support Apple.I believe. But my current worries about it is that : how can I control the power juice it load ? If I have plugged an iPad into this charger, can another two android phone like Samsung & HTC be added ?

I once thought I can estimate by the total marked value of Max A& V . I know it's a big question I believe someone here will offer a more sensible answer.

Hello everyone

Some few months ago , when Google Camera appeared for the first time , I automatically updated my stock camera app , and since then I'm unable to connect to backside camera>(front one works fine) at the time i thought it was Kernel issue since at that time I was running Franco kernel.I also thought it may be dirty flashing android 4.4.3 , so yesterday for the first time in my country I received OTA 4.4.4 i installed it from my android , but decided to do clean flash today. Same result , what do You guys think , maybe I should take it in for warranty , is it a hardware issue?

or should i rip it open my self and try to fix it?

Can you enable ART on G3?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunt_101:
Yup just did it and its rebooting.

Its under developer's option > Select runtime system > Use ART

Edit: After booting up the system with ART, the camera app immediately crashed. Whatsapp worked fine. The phone also got really hot when android was switching over to ART from Dalvik. Going to switch back to Dalvik when the phone cools down.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nap007:
phone got really hot WHEN switching or after switching?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunt_101:
Phone gets really hot while switching. It cooled down after it booted into art mode.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Epix4G:
Its doing a lot switching to art ....

Here are some of the major new features implemented by ART.

Ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation

ART introduces ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation, which can improve app performance. ART also has tighter install-time verification than Dalvik.

At install time, ART compiles apps using the on-device*dex2oat*tool. This utility accepts*DEX*files as input and generates a compiled app executable for the target device. The utility should be able to compile all valid DEX files without difficulty. However, some post-processing tools produce invalid files that may be tolerated by Dalvik but cannot be compiled by ART.

So it its compiling every app you have on the phone to start on time instead of the little lag you get when opening some big apps.....so in reality your phone won't have to work as hard using art after the first time....

I think LG should fix the camera issue. I've had the same problem with G2 over year ago.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simple_fear85:
Depends on some apps you use. Not all apps are switched to art yet. I use a few that don't work with art. It's still not supported
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjxtreme:
I tried switching to ART but the whole phone became extremely slow and laggy. Did any of you guys experience this? Should I leave it for a while to sort itself out?

Also, a lot of my installed apps disappeared from the launcher? Is this normal as the apps do not support Art or should they still show up?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maschenazi:
The first reboot after the switch from Dalvik to ART took about 10 minutes for me. It depends how many apps you have installed, as it needs to pre-compile all of them. After that I didn't notice anything being slower or missing.

In theory ART should make it faster to start applications and should help with battery life as well, as it doesn't need to compile the apps on the fly as you start them. That's the theory anyway. I had ART on on my Nexus 5 as well from the beginning and none of the apps I've used misbehaved.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gurkburk92:
Hey guys, so the other day I noticed a TINY flashing(what I think is a) pixel. It's only visible when I'm on for example the reddit app with the dark theme. It flashes in the middle left side when scrolling up and down. Otherwise, in pixel tests, I can't see it.

What do I have here? Is it dead or on the way? Yes it shows in other apps too, but only in dark themes because it's a small white dot.

I can not send mms without connecting to data network. can someone help me?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Here are my findings thus far (not encouraging)

1. With stock Kernel it just flashes Samsung image then goes totally black.

2. With a ML1 Compiled Kernel it flashes Samsung image then goes to the SGS3 logo and goes no further.

3. Tried a Sprint Kernel and results were same as data point 1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LLStarks:
I wouldn't dare flash the SBL chain, but I can't help but wonder if the RPM/TZ partitions are safe or even work. Wasn't there a case a few months ago where updating firmware was being enforced for newer d2vzw/d2lte builds since things were unstable otherwise?

Btw, GPL request for I535VRUDNE1/I535OYUDNE1 kernel and wifi source submitted. I don't expect it to help much if Sprint isn't booting, but somebody needs to keep Samsung compliant.

They always forget with Verizon. Quite stunning given how quickly they upload Sprint source, usually before OTA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Macrodroid:
Have you talked to cnexus? I remember on the sprint side with the nd8 update there were issues regarding the firmware. Users there had to jump through hoops to update firmware before flashing any custom nd8 roms...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
agree with you Macrodroid, early I got an idea to replace the ramdisk of stock 4.3 with 4.4.2(sprint) and 4.1(verizon) ramdisk by modify safestrap!

ended with no boot stuck on black screen, updated to 4.4.2 and sprint 4.4.2 booted in safestrap slot.

I think the old bootchain not compatable with kitkat.

will test the dumb later, [MENTION=426561]scrosler[/MENTION] you can test the sprint ND8 rom it booted with safestrap.

screenshots:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LLStarks:
We don't want to use SafeStrap even if unlocked devices can make use of it. Besides, you already have the latest firmware and bootloaders.

If we can manage it, we'd like a native boot with an unlocked bootchain.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
I found the USC KitKat D3 Kernel source. Going to try that!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
That did nothing.

They need to release the source code, plain and simple. That will be a tremendous help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afaneh92:
Yes but you need bootable rom on locked device to make sure your tests not gone with the winds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
I know this will worked on locked devices. The goal is to get it to work on Unlocked devices.

If updated to a locked device I could have a ROM out in 15 minutes. I like the challenge of the unlocked device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] garwynn:
Moved to Android Development.

Have you tried either of these combinations?

1) 4.3 source kernel (with source built DTB) and 4.4 ramdisk?

2) Extracted zImage with 4.3 ramdisk?

You might be able to generate new dtb using Sprint or USCC kk source.

Any access into adb, even if you move it up in init?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Hmmm... Number 2 seems like a good idea!

Gonna give that a spin tonight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
try this out https://www.dropbox.com/s/e8jilbv0ii9ngb3/d2-3.4.zip

its not flashable but throw it in any kernel

I found the vzw flags in the sprint kernel drop, so I chopped up a m2_vzw defconfig and compiled a vzw kernel from sprint source

edit - If somebody that is stock rooted on 4.4.2 can pull config.gz from /proc we can get the official m2_vzw config from there which would allow us to compile that with sprint source (which is the same as vzw, but if there is a more up to date like maybe USC, we can use it)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
I'll try that tonight as well but I do believe you can not longer get config.gz from /rpoc. I thought that changed on later Android 4.3+ builds. Certainly could be wrong on that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
OK cool, I know I can still pull it on my phone on AOKP 4.4.4 but touchwiz could be a completely different beast being that AOSP based code is more open security wise
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Yeah, On pure AOSP or Nexus devices its done differently...

Here is one example: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43930020&postcount=46

I will still try to poke around. If I can at least get ADB its a start!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
Im going to see what I can do with the kernel, nate told me he saw a Cert.pem file in the ramdisk which is different from 4.3 but that could just have do with 3.4.x kernel base. It is redicilous that we are almost a week in and Samsung has yet to meet GPL compliance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
I found where the certificate is being loaded in init
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scott:
Interesting. I would then have to assume the certs have changed? And the theory of using old ram disk may possibly be affective because its looking for old certs and not new? Or maybe just try swapping init binary?

I was also wondering if grabbing the newest hlos-bin (as I have seen sel linux stuff in there as well (its just a zip file)) would help at all. Meaning having matching RamDisk and HLOS (radio).

What do you think?

Im still stuck at work so I cannot try anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
That might work, but we would need to update the init.*.sh sctipts to load the new ril blobs and maybe also to load the 3.4.x kernel. I need to get the NC1 ramdisk down locally and look at it. I was thinking maybe setting selinux to permissive or just disabling it could maybe be worth a shot but thats just a shot in the dark.

edit - here is a boot.img with the old init in it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
We can't flash a 4.3 bootloader, but we found out the hard way on 4.3 that the only firmware you can mismatch is no-hlos and modem. And on jf we found that out way earlier, like after the first ota
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
I'm speaking from experience, not from speculation. I don't know why, but it has happened across several devices that had 4.3 and got the 4.4 update.

Yes, I have mismatched the modem and bootloader before and that is why we thought it was safe to do so with the 4.4 modem, but experience says that it causes a brick.

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 AM ----------

See above
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
I'm just curious if you have any posts of such examples because unless there is some new layer we are not aware in the modem starting with 4.4 firmware it should never affect you being able to get into ODIN mode at least.

Not denying the possibility, I would just be seriously surprised if it did.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
I have the mismatched 4.3 no-hlos and modem for 4.3 on a pre-release bootloader right now, the only way it would purposely cause a brick is by having a signature which the no-hlos and modem do not have on purpose so Verizon does not have to blow another qfuse to update modems
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
I closed two of my threads for this reason. I myself was using the 4.4 modem on 4.1.2 without issue but this was not the case for those who were in 4.3 and flashed the 4.4 modem.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2739302

And

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2740467

And aside from the posts in those threads, tdunham and rompnit also bricked by flashing the 4.4 modem on 4.3 firmware.

And yes, they were full blown bricks. Not bootloops, but firmware bricks that needed to be JTAGed.

This same thing happened over in the T-Mobile S3 forums when they got their 4.4 update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
Hmm....that is certainly interesting.

Well, FWIW I never recommend flashing radio or modems in custom recovery, only in ODIN mode. It may work in the past but I would trust the stability.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BeansTown106:
Not true.. Only sprint started signing the modem. They don't want u to be able to use a older one. Verizon, tmo, att can flash any modem their heart desires.

I'm assuming sprint did this because of there spark lte or whatever but. It's 100% confirmed that sprint is the only carrier signing/incrementing the modems

Edit: scrosler and I have both flashed the 4.4.2 vzw modem on our devices while trying to get this to work.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Surge1223:
So the zImage has changed considerably in size (though this is to be expected I guess since upgrading android versions). Also, from reading earlier posts in this thread im having a hard time telling whether past attempts are using the zImage extracted from the boot.img included in the Odin tar or if they are using the zImage compiled from source. Also what changes in the defconfig were made and tested?

Im trying to see if init and ramdisk edits might be enough, but my gut tells me we"ll have to patch the zImage.

No but thanks though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
My posts were built from source except the zimage from Zach I tried. All I did was kill selinux calls in in security Konfig. That allowed it to make to second Samsung Galaxy S3 splash and stop there. No black screen or led. Just the splash. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kuronosan:
Surge, do the boot images have headers in the zimage or full package that maybe can be addended? Perhaps the bootloader looks for a specific size kernel package similar to mtk chipsets. I know we have to repackage their kernels with specific headers in order for custom kernels to boot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Surge1223:
The headers are fine, I think it has more to do with upgraded security in 4.4 honestly, I just built a debugging kernel because I want to get output on where the kernel is failing. The ramdisk contents are also significantly changed, and for the kernel I had to remove a lot of root blocking features from the defconfig, some of which Chainfire has outlined before in a g+ post. I can grab seclog and kmsg while in recovery and should know more soon.

Im downloading older source for s3 to compare the changes with as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
It's going to be a very large change, you probably won't get far. This kernel for NE1 is 3.4 and the old ones (4.3 and below) are 3.0.x. Also I removed the root blocking when I compiled as well but never got anywhere.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Surge1223:
I realize that, I'm only interested in changes regarding the decompression of the kernel though so it should be ok.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
Oh ok, I tried xz and that didn't work but I didn't try LZ4. I know that Nard and Invisiblek based the sprint source onto code Aurora and messed with it and it boots cm
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Surge1223:
I had a hard time getting the zImage decompressed, but I was finally able to. I can upload it here so we can all work with the same decompressed zImage, and patch it if needed. While the normal zImage is 6.8 MB the decompressed zImage is 16.0 MB so it will take awhile to sort through the functions and find what to patch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Surge1223:
