Just got the default HTC_Default.tsk and i'm glad my phone looks the way I thought it would when I bought it. I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of the remaining traces of that hideous blu Cingular theme. Thanks in advance for any help.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mccune:
I think you should take a look in the HTC Wizard forum, or use the search for changing your Splash screen!

What do you mean by remaining traces? Dialpad? Color scheme?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bluesphere:
Sorry noobed out I forgot to say Hermes

Thanks for the reply mccune. I'm on a Cingular 8525 aka Hermes. I got the HTC_Default.tsk and it looks awesome. I'd like to get rid of the phone dialer splash with the blue background and cingular logo I see when I use the phone. I'm still butchering the names of all the screens so I apologize. I realize it's hard to communicate w/o the lingo down. I'm learning. I'm trying to change the appearance of the phone w/o bricking it with a bad ROM install before I know what I'm doing. Thanks in advance for any tips on where to look. I'm definitely willing to feed myself if you point me to the fish.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mccune:
For dialers you should check: PaulYa

You can simply create your own boot screen by doing this:

- Create a PNG image 320x240

- name the image: welcomehead.96.png

- Set the properties of the image so that it's hidden

- place the image in youw Windows directory of your device

The third part, the splash screen. I suggest you search for it in the Hermes section. There is also a big topic about this in the Wizard section. Don't know if it works the same.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bluesphere:
Awesome dialer!

Thanks for the 411! I'm running Paul's dialer and it rocks. I've been doing so much research I've forgotten half my life.

[General Questions and Answers] jaysun1975:
My phone is a Samsung galaxy S3 SCH-S968c, Verizon Networked for Straight Talk. I ran into having my phone stall after the Samsung logos boot up and then the tracfone logo appears and stalls there. The issue started after i tried installing multiple tweeks using a popular app for rooted devices (i cant think of the apps name at the moment). I have a version of CWM on it. After reading threads here in XDA i found that my CWM will not work correctly on this phone. Retired Forum Moderator "edfunkycold" said "It's not really a bug with the recoveries which where modded. It's part of whatever Samsung has done to keep people from rooting and flashing roms." so i downloaded both CWM_mod2.img and TWRP_mod2.img.

So between the soft bricking and the usless cwm i cannot flash anything or access the internal or external sd cards. I tried using ADB and these commands:

adb push .img /sdcard/.img

adb shell

su

dd if=/sdcard/.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

I just get the Android Debugging Bridge version...............

I also tried other methods found in XDA using ADB.

I tried Samsung Kies, 4 versions of Odin, SkipSoft Android Toolkit and some other java executable program that didnt work.

I can boot into both recovery mode and download mode.

Recovery mode does nothing....

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

E: Can't mount /sdcard

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log

.....etc. etc.

In Download mode, Odin recognizes that the phone is connected but when i try loading anything it wont connect. example: trying to load a bootchain file it says:

checking MD5 finished successfully..

Leave CS..

All threads completed. (succeed 0 / fail 0)

Other attempts show the RED FAIL square.

Im having trouble finding the correct Files to Flash. Im guessing the SCH-I535 is the non-straight talk equivalent to my straight talk phone so i have downloaded file: Samsung-Updates.com-SCH-I535-VZW-I535VRALF2_Kernel.zip

and Rom: Sons Of Android - cm-10.2-20130928-UNOFFICIAL-jewel.zip

Bottom line is I DONT CARE what version of android (stock or ROM) as long as it's compatible and need the correct flash files necessary. I THINK it originally has jellybean 4.2.2??? PLEASE help. ive been messing with this for 3 weeks now :crying:

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] jbaker22:
try "fastboot flash boot boot (recovery.img location on your computer). " It will remove your rom, so put one on the sd card.
[General Questions and Answers] jaysun1975:
ADB is not recognizing my phone. Odin still is. I tried to flash recovery with Odin last night. The process completed with success but when i restarted the phone i was not able to gain access back to the recovery. Now I can only get into download mode. Is this why ADB is not working, cuz it has to be in recovery mode?

Also I am confused on how the file structure should be when i put a rom on the sd card. I know they go in the root..... do i just extract them from the ZIP straight over to the SD? Is there a way to convert ZIP files to an Odin flashable file?

ok, nice phone but...

-apparently, no Gorilla glass!

-no OIS camera

-not-so-high quality pics

-no slowmo (?)

-audio problems during videos (hardware or sw problem?)

-low audio (?)

-still some sw problems (freezings, lags...)

-expensive compared to honor 6 or nubia z7 mini

I'm a little bit confused...

Notification issues in miui

Hi,

I am thinking to buy this phone. But I saw people complaining about the notification issues in some apps like whatsapp, facebook, gmail etc.

People are getting the notifications very late, even if they lock their app in the RAM.

Not sure if this is a common problem, a bug or an intentional feature.

Has anyone faced it and any permanent solutions?

As far as i have read, some solutions are working for some people and failing for others. No good fix is available for this yet..
[Xiaomi Mi 4] Michalko5896:
MIUI is buggy, sometimes unstable and it works pretty bad with common apps.. Mi 4 is GREAT device for great price but software is awful.. At least stable AOSP based ROMs are available like CM12.1 and Paranoid Android.. :)

[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olalekanbabs:
I want to know if there is any Rom that supports 3G on both sims.

I also want to know if there is any other goods phones out there that supports 3G on both sims
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vbrsekhar:
So far none of the small or big brand mobile companies made a dual sim mobile that supports 3G on both sims. One must be W+G and other must be G only. This is to save the battery life of the mobiles and also to prevent the 3G signal interferences (read somewhere online). So until the big brand flagship mobiles comes up with altogether a different technology that has no signal interference effects, you have to live with 2 different sim radios. Even if we move few years into the future, the primary sim of a dual sim mobile will support 4G and the other one will support only 3G or 2G for the same signal/radio interference purposes.

Hope this answers your question. Hit thanks button if this clarification deserves it.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olalekanbabs:
I had Samsung Galaxy Grand I9082 before buying the HTC, after Samsung recent update both SIM slots now supports 3G. This helps in situation when the internet data on one of the SIM is exhausted and you still have on the other SIM. Rather than swapping SIMS you will just change the first SIM from 3G to 2G, then enable data and 3G on the second SIM card.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daheufster:
Some phones indeed support 3G on both Sims, but like said these are the more expensive phones e.g. HTC One (M7) Dual SIM
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vbrsekhar:
This disproves the theory of interference said by someone else online. Thanks for letting us know about the 3G availability on both sims. I desperately need such phone for the same reasons you quoted and probably hunt for that model. But having said that how was the battery life though as HTC desire 816 has a great standby life.

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 PM ----------

Thanks dude, I was so far living in the impression that it cannot be possible due to radio interference and battery life reasons I read somewhere online. :)

[XDA Assist] theBlissfulReveler:
So I had my n7 rooted and rom'd, but then i had to go back to stock, to return it to the sc for fixing my speaker- at least that's what i wanted.

I tried going back to stock using the nexus root toolkit, and using fastboot.

Always, i get one error or the other- sometimes it gets stuck on sending system, sometimes it just says everything failed, or 'failed to allocate so and so bytes'

Now I am thinking of flashing a custom recovery again, and then flashing stock. Is it really as simple as using a fastboot command to do so?

Or is there something else I need to do?

Thank you.
[XDA Assist] Darth:
Hi,

Here's a guide on returning to stock...

Nexus 7 > Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [GUIDE] Flashing a Factory Image with fastboot / return to stock

You can ask for help there as well. Do try another cable and another USB port on computer. Or even another computer if you can.

Good luck!
[XDA Assist] theBlissfulReveler:
Thank you for your reply :)

But the thing is, i followed those and always ended up in trouble.

Right now, I dont have any rom installed, and my tablet won't boot into recovery so i know it doesn't have recovery either.

At this point, i need to know if i can just flash a custom recovery and then install stock.
[XDA Assist] Darth:
Yes, you can find a stock rom, or whatever rom and try to install it.

Tho, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to flash stock. A bad cable or USB port is usually the issue.

Here is the link to the N7 2012 section. Depending on whether you have the WiFi or 3g model... Roms can be found in the appropriate development sections.

Nexus 7

I still believe you should troubleshoot the flashing issue in the first thread I linked, by asking for help.

Otherwise, any further questions or issues.. Please use the N7 Q&A section to post your issue/question.

---------- Post added at 11:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 AM ----------

And most roms are not 100 percent stock. So unless you use fastboot as the guide I linked details... You won't be 100 percent stock.
[XDA Assist] theBlissfulReveler:
I'm sorry to bother again, but nothing is working- still.

I tried using TWRP but not even wiping works, and it says 'cannot mount /data' all the time.

Still no success with fastboot, always gets stuck when i flash system.
[XDA Assist] Darth:
Unfortunately this is not the thread for support or troubleshooting. Please see why here...

The Purpose of XDA Assist

I gave you the link to the N7 section. The Q&A section is where to ask for further help. ?

Good luck again!

Hi,

I have a big problem with my Tytn (sorry if this is already been posted). Quite often the phone freezes, making it impossible to turn on again. The only thing that works is a soft-reset. What is worse, is that when the phone is in this state, although the green light is regularly flashing, it is unable to get phone calls even if the caller gets the normal ringing signal. No trace is left of the call, neither in calls list! This is a really serious issue: please, let me know if you have an idea of how to solve the problem.

Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] slimsaturn:
I am having the same issue. I haven't been able to isolate it. I was havign to0 restart 1-2 times a day. Same systems press the power button nothing. Lights blinking everything looks ok. but nothing on the screen. and i miss calls. really pain in the ass. I loaded mobile secretary and it hasn;t locked in a day or two which is odd.

I also sometimes have to rpess the power button two times for it to wake
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] angled1:
me too

It's happening to me too. I will lose service and the phone doesn't go out and poll automatically when service should be good. It may show 1, 2, 3 bars then when I try to make a call it hangs, and then get an x and a Y!, then searches for service. I have the GSM only hack installed and the activesync workaround and it still does this. It is not useable as a phone.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mnez:
With all due respect, there is no solution where the link leads to.

I am having the GSM problem also. Just from time to time I am noticing an exclamation mark near the 'antennae' icon in the top bar. When I tap it, I read 'Service unavailable' in the balloon. From that point I may either soft-reset, or switch GSM flight mode on and off, which brings the PIN code keyboard and the phone works again.

I really don't think it is related to power saving, as it happened a few times in the car with TyTN on external power.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:

well, sorry for being so picky on you :|

Now when we have defragmented the conversation ;) I wonder if the GSM problem is reported more widely? and what is supposed to do in order to isolate the problem and fix it...?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Philip:
Sorry to do a "me too" posting, but I experience the exact same symptoms. There is no obvious pattern to when this happens, but it is a major problem, as there is no way (other than trying to switch it on) to distinguish whether the phone is working or not at any given moment.

I am running the latest (South African) ROM on my Vario II.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Given this thread now appears to have two distinct issues running together I better be clear that I am referring to the lock-up/freezing issue not the dropped GSM signal issue!!

To be honest there are quite a few possible causes for the freezing issue(s). I would suggest searches and the wiki on such things as (and you may or may not have tried some already):

1. Use of a Task Manager to properly shut running programmes otherwise they contiue to run in the background

2. Proper shutting down of Active Sync in addition to any task manager you may have, as it can re-start itself automatically (particularly overnight. Look for the "Fake Server Trick")

3. Always shut down Wifi when not in use (vital particularly overnight but also good practice to avoid lock ups)

4 For overnight and possibly other quiet times you can consider having your device automatically perform a soft reset to clear any running programmes that may block alarms/receipt of mail etc. Look for such things as xbar or SK schema

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mnez:
Yes indeed, although I think that both: a Phone App problem, and a GSM signal problem, are indeed the same, maybe only differently percepted and described by users affected.

I need ActiveSync to be running in order for DirectPush to work. If it conflicts with the phone, it makes the device unusable concerning push email functionality.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
I agree they may be cause and effect for some folks. Although I don't believe we can say that all the freezing and lock-ups are due to dropped GSM signal and freezing when failing to re-establish it. The items I list either taken together or individually have been found by others to work in some cases.

I appreciate that if you require Active Sync running then this is not a solution for you. I think the issue of crashing on loss of signal requires more analysis and I'm not aware of much discussion of it - though I could be wrong!!
