I caught the deal on ebay for an inexpensive Flex 2 not so long ago and, of course, the first thing I set out to do was update and root it. The stock image ran 5.0.1, w/ firmware H950 v10b. I attempted an OTA update several days in a row, being told each time that none was available (the phone...

GPE and sense ROMs have Bluetooth that works fine, but AOSP ROMs are having problems. If Bluetooth works at all, it's crackley and disconnects from my car without warning (though my phone still says connected). A reboot gets Bluetooth functional again, but it will fail. Currently running Xenon...

Hey guys. I'm trying to root my m8 by using the toolkit. Well, I try to get the Token ID but adb fails since it can't find any devices. I've uninstalled the drivers, re installed, tried different sources, everything and I just can't get it to be recognized by ADB. Anybody have any ideas? I'm...

My power button is faulty and is rebooting my phone frequently. So I want to disable it. I've searched around quite a bit, and can't find a way. Does anyone know how this can be accomplished? Thanks Smith Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

So I decided to flash my phone back to stock, and start the process of rooting it over again. Anyway, I downloaded stock firmware from here and flashed using Odin 3.07 Now, the phone gets past the samsung boot screen, and hangs after the ATT boot animation. I've performed a factory reset, and...

So my power button is acting up, and I think it's a hardware failure. If the screen is on and I press the power button, the screen turns off, then back on, as if multiple key presses are being registered. If the screen is off and I press the power button, sometimes the long press power menu...

So I'm having a weird issue. If a ROM is installed via aroma, my phone will either freeze during the aroma installation, or finish the install and never boot. This is after a full wipe every time. Any ideas as to what might be going on? Thanks Smith Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using...

I'm coming from the Samsung Captivate, and on those ROMs I could choose which baseband I wanted to use based on performance. I used to access that by entering #*#*2263*#*# Is there any way to do something similar on the GS3? Regards Smith

Ok, so I ultimately want to root this phone and install a custom ROM on it. However, it is not activated, and I cannot bypass the prompt to activate, I can only get to a dialer. So, after reading the forums, it appears that the latest official FW is .621 and there's a root method for it, but it...

I'm running kyan 1.15f currently, no overclocking scripts or anything of the sort, but android system is eating 59% of my battery ! After just 2 hours of almost no use, I'm down to 79 % battery :/ Recommendations? Smith Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app

Ok so I love the gs3 so far, haven't even rooted it yet, but I miss the hold back to kill l feature of cyanogenmod. I'm guessing it's not possible, but it's worth asking, is hold back to kill possible on a rooted, stock Rom? Regards Smith Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda...

I'm trying to install ubuntu to my sbk2 tab using this tut: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1537566&highlight=can+t+mount+microsd+card But, to do that, I need access to both the external sd card, and ADB access. Is there a single recovery with those two features? I've tried all...

Ok so I suddenly was unable to send any SMS messages, in any ROM, and the only way this has ever happened before is when the SMS center number is deleted. So, I flashed back to gingerbread and set the SMS center number and it works now. But, I was wondering, how can I set the SMS center number...

So I really like how I can turn off my screen by tapping the lock key on the dock. However, it would be really nice to be able to turn the screen back on in the same way. I've searched around, and haven't found anything about it really (unless I missed it, in which case I'm sorry). Can this be...

Ok, so I'm running thelatest Swype beta and it has this strange issue where I'll be Swyping and it'll act add if, say, the d key is a dead zone. For instance, I'll try to Swype the word "after" and it'll input something like "ad yet" because when I crossed over d, Swype thought I lifted my...

I got my transformer, I've turned it on a handfull of times... and now it's bootlooping and won't turn on. I wiped data, no go. RCK won't work, has an android with an exclamation point. What can I do? Regards Smith Edit: I'll just exchange it after finals. I've tried everything I've read lol.

So I am a student, and I'm always walking around with a backpack full of books. I want to carry my transformer and its dock with me so I can do some on the fly word processing between classes when I get a chance, but I'm worried about the weight of my books being pressed against the dock, being...

So obviously, nvflash is required for ubuntu to run on the transformer. To do this, the sbk must be known. What are the odds of this happening for sbk2 devices? Regards Smith

I've just purchased a transformer, got an unbeatable deal, and was wondering if there are any plans for ICS on this device? Regards Smith

I'm kind of confused, because I've never used SIP before... How do I use it? Thanks! Smith

So I bought phone after market, and it does the weirdest thing. Everything works well, screen, buttons, except: When I long hold the power button, the screen becomes unresponsive. If I turn the screen off, then back on the problem is remedied. The screen works patently except after that. Do...

So I'm new to the HD2 scene. I installed wp7 (mango) and have noticed some problems with typing. If I use both thumbs to type, it seems to cause problems. Is the default keyboard not able to take advantage of dual touch (since multitouch doesn't work on wp7 right?) Regards Smith

So I purchased an aftermarket HD2 (TMOUS), but there are two things I would like to remedy. First, when I long press the end key, the screen becomes unresponsive, across all operating systems. I am hoping I can fix that by replacing the hard buttons, because the rest of the time the screen...

Ok so I 1 click backed to kb1 with heimdall in prep for CM7. Well now I wanna flash CWM w/ odin but odin won't see my cappy, but it's detected in heimdall. Ideas? Regards Smith

Ok so I rooted this pphone for a friend, then they tried to go back to stock and now the screen won't turn on. I can't get into adb, but I have fastboot running. I'm unfamiliar with the incredible, so can I save this thing with fastboot? Thanks Smith EDIT: Can I "fastboot update" a...

So ROM manager won't let me see cappy stuff because it thinks I'm an i9000 how can change that? Sent from my SGH-i897 using XDA App

Ok so I'm working with a phone right now. The person said they had contacts synced to google, they didn't. I have a TiBu of all their stuff, but upon restore there are just a ton of force closes. Is there a way to take the data that TiBu saved and retrieve contact info? I could flash back to...

So I'm on the sammy captivate but helping a friend with the incredible, and with the cappy if we flashed a GB ROM over froyo bootloaders the dev would brick. So, is that the same with incredible? Thanks Smith

Ok, so my power button just took a dump today. It started out just intermittenly sending "pressing" basically, and now it just won't work at all. All I need is a way to power on my phone to use it lol just temporarily. Because I turned it off, and now I can't turn it back on lol. Running Apex...

Ok, so for some reason, my phone has suddenly started answering all my calls on speaker phone, and it's obnoxious. I haven't changed any options or anything that I could logically say would make that happen, so I'm not sure what the deal is. But I know it's something with my settings because...

Ok, I would really love to set my phone to GSM auto prl because the 3g signal in my area sucks. But, here's my problem. Whenever I enter *#*#INFO#*#* and select GSM auto prl, it says "Unknown" instead, and after reboot reverts to WCDMA/GSM auto. I'm currently running Mosaic VI, TalonDev...

Ok, so I've noticed that on any 2.3.4 ROM, when I tap a text box, the cursor (well, the carrot which we can drag the cursor with) appears and covers a small portion of the keyboard. For instance, the W. Which makes it a pain to swype on lol. Is there a work around for this? Regards Smith

Is there a way to easily toggle 2g/3g?? I get about 2% of jack for service in my house, unless I'm on 2g. I would love an easy toggle. Is there a way, without having to use CM7? Regards Smith

I have a couple of questions about the 2.2 ATT release. First, does it include boot loaders? Second, is there a 1 click back to stock 2.2?? I haven't found one after a few searches. Thanks a lot Regards Smith

Ok, so my brother got a captivate as well. Well, he dropped it in water, and now the weirdest thing is happening. When you power on the phone, it hangs on the ATT screen as if there is no operating system. But, sometimes it WILL boot into an operating system. I looked at the phone once and...

So, I'm not sure exactly, but I would think that 2.3.4 would iron out a lot of the bugs that 2.3.3 had. Is that so? or is it a minor upgrade? Regards Smith

Now that we have 'official' GB for Cappy, why is MIUI still based on a CM7 kernel? I know almost nothing about the dev process, hence the question. But I was wondering if it was possible to create a 'normal' MIUI ROM with only 1 flashable zip, just like a standard GB ROM. Thanks for the...

Ok... so it's a royal pain in my butt lol because when I have wifi turned on for pandora or something, then it turns off my HSDPA. Fine, normally. But, if someone is sending me a pic, I can't download it, then, frequently, it disappears into cyberspace. It's always weird asking them to send it...

So, I did not buy the insurance on my phone. I take good care of my things so it's not a problem. However, I'm on my third cappy, due to various defects. It's pretty obnoxious having to keep going and exchanging it... Does ATT have a policy where they will sell you another phone for contract...

I really prefer using linux over windows when possible, so I've been experimenting with a few things, like heimdal. Well, it's rather inconvenient because I can load all the files into heimdal, except boot.bin and sbl.bin (I'm referring to the heimdal front-end btw), but it won't let me click...

So I had a TP2 before this, which used USB Mini. So, I have all these accessories from that still, and adapters would be great. But, radioshack and all those places want as much for the damn adapter as they do for a new charger... Is there a place to get like 5 adapters for cheap? China style...

Since ATT and TMo are merging, I got to thinking, this SHOULD result in better service (and by service I mean signal strength, 3g availability, etc), shouldn't it? But, I'm left to wonder. When I had cingular, I loved them, and I loved their service. Didn't ever really have deadspots. Once ATT...

So, he's running a custom ROM right now, the latest desire hd port, GB, etc. Well, most everything else needs CWM 3.006 or whatever. So, I'm trying to flash that. BUT, his phone acts as if he doesn't have root. I't S-offed and has "su" (the app) but it just doesn't work. Tried flashing cwm...

So, I love CM 7, I do! I've been running it longer than any other ROM ever. But... ORD Is getting the best of me >.< yet I'm so addicted to the RAM efficiency of CM7 and things like overscroll. Is anyone going to develop gingerbread ROMs for cappy? Or is it only going to be CM 7? Regards Smith

Ok, so I'm trying to use the swype beta. But, when I double tap words, the "Edit Text" box comes up and interferes instead. Is there a way to disable it? Regards Smith

So, I finally setup my x64 system. I got everything rolling so that I can try to build CM7 for my phone from atinm's repo. So I initialize the repo and sync it. The sync fails because 'teamhacksung/gingerbread' cannot be found! :( Also, it takes FOREVER to sync! Ideas? :( Regards Smith

So, TiBu is great and everything, but is a real pain in the butt sometimes because it just restores all the files directly which can cause compatibility issues. Is there an app out there there backs up data and later re-injects settings, so to speak, into the existing system, to avoid...

Basically the only reason I have astro installed is because I want to be able to download anything. But, it's inconvenient when I don't want to work in terminal and want a more visual idea of the file system as it cannot access root. Currently, I prefer root explorer. I still want all...

So I usually run Serendipity, a 2.2.1 ROM. Whenever I decide I want to try a 2.2 ROM like Cognition or Andromeda (? idk if it's 2.2 but still applies), after restoring my stuff with TiBU, I get a ton of FC's, making it unusable. Any way to avoid this? I would love to use those ROM's Regards...

Ok, I know that cyanogen is working on a GB port for cappy. I found the google code site once where all the changes were committed and recorded and stuff but can't find it again! I love to track the progress of that stuff and would love if someone could kindly give me that information. Regards...
