[Q] Some major problems I am facing with Samsung Galaxy Y - General Questions and Answers

About a week ago I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Y CDMA (SCH-i509). I used it for 2-3 days. Since I needed a more external memory, I exchanged my phone's sdcard with my father's sdcard which was 16 gb. I exchanged all the data using a computer but then, since almost all apps had been uninstalled, I decided to reset my phone. So I went into recovery mode and reset it. Then I started getting some problems. First, I noticed that the mobile wasn't getting locked. Pressing the power button just put the screen asleep. Then I noticed that the home button wasn't working. I could use it to make screen awake and take screenshots, but otherwise it just didn't do anything. Then I realised that all the calls were getting auto rejected, but it ala showed them as missed calls. I checked the settings but everything was alright. There were also many other problems like I can't watch any videos on my sdcard. I thought that while transferring the data, the videos might have got broken. But then I recorded a video and couldn't watch it too. Then I went to the browser and still couldn't stream videos but I could still watch videos on YouTube. I am also facing loads of other problems. Can someone please tell me why this is happening and how to tackle these problems?

I have reset it once but nothing happened. And as for flashing, it's really hard to find a custom ROM for this device.

For flashing stock rom via odin watch this video:

Wrong section.
Please re-explain what you mean. Are you bricked? Use better English please.
Thread moved to General.
I also have this problem. My tab got drained so when I got home, I plugged in the charger to the tab. Then I pressed the power button. So the tab opened but it hangs when the SAMSUNG logo is on the screen. I tried to wait it out for around 10mins but nothing happened, it remained in the SAMSUNG logo. So I tried holding the power button for 15secs to reboot but when it rebooted, the tab still hangs in the SAMSUNG logo.
Please help. I just bought this tab 3days ago. It is not rooted and so far I have installed only around 10 apps and games all from the market. Im not sure what caused this problem.
check in the development section under official firmwares post. there are official firmwares and instructions for odin. try to charge up battery as much as possible. a failed Odin flash could be a perma-brick. If you have Kies , I think there is an emergency software recovery option as well.

thanks for the reply dude. so im gonna have to flash this tab. i checked the instructions and all is good except for the ROM to use. there are 2 ROMs posted for the P6200. Im not sure which one i should use. I bought my tab here in Manila. All i know is that its a P6200 3g tab. Could i just pick anyone from the two?
The KK5 is the original firmware that the p-6200 came with . If you install that, as soon as you run it, it should be giving you the notification that an update is available . There will be 2 incremental upgrades and you will end up with KL1.
Or you can directly download the KL1 .

thanks dude! anyway im still thinking if i should flash this now or just bring it to Samsung for service. im afraid that if i flashed this, Samsung might say that ive been tinkering with it.
Before venturing yourself into flashing the stock rom why don't you try a factory reset from the recovery menu :
Turn off the tablet
Press at the same time the power button and the volume up button
As soon as you see the galaxy logo release the power button but keep the volume up pressed until the recovery menu pop up
Select the factory reset option using the volume button and confirm with the power button
I am pretty sure that it will fix your problem
Let me know how it goes

thanks dude!! the problem was fixed after the factory reset.
im still wondering though what caused the problem. ill probably try draining the battery again to see if this problem reoccurs.
thanks again!!!
successfully done p 6200
Hi all. I've had the same problem last month. My P6200's battery got drained and was kind of in a boot loop. I didn't know how to do a factory reset then so I looked online for a Samsung Service Center here in the Philippines. I was advised that my device was not covered by International Warranty as I bought it outside of the Philippines (I got mine in India) as only Samsung cameras have have international coverage. The guy still tried to flash it, however, it did not fix the problem. Now it just boot loops to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus and does not reach the Samsung logo that it used to go to after that.
I'm trying to reset my tab but pressing and holding the power and volume up buttons don't work. Please advise what I can do. I don't want this device to go to waste.
Many Thanks!
ive also had the same problem duno wut to do anymore
Had bootloop problem too
Download Odin and the appropriate firmware for your region then flash it via Odin(turn off tab,press volum down and power until you go in download mode then connect the tab to pc,click pda on Odin,click start,wait to flash)
Good luck
i had the same problem before, when i restart my tab, it was stuck at samsung logo, i wait for 15m but still the same and then i connect to my laptop.
amazingly, kies can detect my tab, so i did backup, suddenly samsung logo disappeared and enter homescreen. maybe around 15m more after i connect to my laptop.
my suspect was the ADW laucher because there's no problem before i installed adw launcher and set it as default launcher.

y not try seeing if other people also have similar problems and try factory resetting ur phone
i did but could not find anybody else encountering the same problem
Try doin what zmsis suggested ..
Sent from my GT-S5670 using xda premium
stuff like this sometimes happen due to some rogue app installed on ur phone but it is difficult to see which one.
try uninstalling each app in the reverse order u installed it, and one by one keep checking if settings work
if this dosent work for u i would recommend a factory reset
power off ur phone and enter recovery mode by pressing power button + home button
over there select factory reset
best of luck
I will also suggest you to do all that is said above. But if ur still not finding any solution then...simple,go to the service center.

Atrix 2 freezing up on start-up.

My Atrix 2 is all of a sudden freezing up on start-up.It goes through the Motorola Dual Core screen and th At&t Screen but as soon as it gets to the lock-screen it freezes,after a few minutes the screen goes dark and wont turn back on.I've pulled the battery countless times and it still wont boot up and work?
I am running stock and did not do anything or install any new apps today.I have no idea what happened.
Please any help would be great,I really need my pictures and videos.

Pictures and notes are usually on sd card and facrory reset let sd intact. You can try first only "wipe cache" from stock recovery maybe helps.

Also, you can take out your sdcard then flash or reset your phone.

Still cant get it to work,have been using my old phone.
How do I do a "clean wipe".
If I turn it on ,it goes to the unlock screen but wont unlock and the screen goes black but if I call the phone it goes through and the dial screen works fine.
I really need to get this working as I need the texts I have sent and received as well as everything else.
Can anyone offer any help or advice?
Biggest mistake to ever get a Motorola phone,should have stuck with Samsung.
i think ur blur launcher is having problem or u deleted it by mistake.
If any expert here makes a flashable zip of any launcher, or u can install it by adb
At this point I would recommended to reflash back to factory 2.3.5 using the fxz, and the update over the air afterwards.
Remember to always have a backup and use CWM in boot!
Follow this link and look at the instructions on how to flash the fxz: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396650

Download "fxz" and "replace" files from Noob thread and flash it using rsd lite if its a software issue then it will be resolved if not i m afraid you will have to service it.
If you're using stock then you shouldn't have to FXZ your phone. With the phone OFF hold the up & down volume keys, and then press your power button. It should pop up the "Boot Mode Selection Menu" Release both the volume keys and then press the down volume once to highlight "Recovery." Then press the volume up button to start your recovery. Scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" using the volume down key and when it is selected press the power button. Then navigate to the "Yes -- delete all user data" using the volume keys (up or down) and press the power key when it is selected. After it has finished, it will show the first menu again. Then navigate to the "wipe cache partition" and follow the same steps as the wipe data/factory reset instructions. Once it goes back to the first menu after wiping the cache partition, then press the power button ("reboot system now" should be selected) and when your phone boots back up it will be like you just got it out of the box except you WILL still have all of your pictures and your videos.
Is there a way to get to my texts and call history?
I need those texts as they have numbers and things i do not have saved anywhere else.
Basically,is there a way to fix this problem without factory resetting is what im asking.
I will try anything,please.

are you rooted? if so you can reset then get all of your data back (I can explain how if you are)
If not, do you have usb debugging enabled? if so you can do a temporary root, just enough to dump your system so you can reset then restore your data the same way

Let's start here, try telling us exactly what happened and what you did to get yourself into this situation. For instance, are you rooted, running any custom roms, or are you on stock Android 2.3.6.? Which model of ATRIX 2: MB865 or ME865? Anything else you can tell us that you have done? The more information you can give, the better!

this would all be helpful. as long as he has usb debugging on he can use the root exploit to open things up enough to try pushing a launcher and if that fails dump the system so that data can be restored

100% stock.I have themb865.Only thing changed is I updated it when Motorola released that update,the one people said fixed the cam.
Here is a video of it,notice how long it takes to start up and when it reaches the screen,nothing happens.If I were to call the phone however it would work and I can receive calls.Also if I press the power button the screen wont turn back on unless I call it.It will run very hot as well.
Video of the problem.

1. Can you try bringing it up without the SD card? If you can, the card may be corrupted, may be need to put to a computer for fsck.
2. Can you connect to it via ADB? Then there are ways (google for exact command syntax: adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases ... in fact pull out entire /data/data, you can extract all your contacts, sms, call log from there) to dump/restore your data.
Like i said a few posts up bud, follow the link i provided and flash the fxz. It will fix your issue. Your pics will remain on the sd card, but yes you will lose your texts. Your contacts are backed up by your google account.

I tried to take the SD card out,same thing.The SD card I got in there now is a different one I popped in the phone so I dont misplace it.It's definitely not the SD card.
I am using an older phone,my contacts are not all there,infact most arent. I need my texts as there is numbers and info in there I cant lose.
I will try what you suggested,is there any other things I should do?
I should add,the last app I installed was that Lookout Security app.
I should have stuck with Samsung,never again will I get a Motorola phone.

died after fatal crash GT-P6211

hello everybody,
I own a galaxy tab plus n for about a half year, this evening while only playing music its started lagging alot.
Then it rebooted itself to ony the galaxy tab logo, this is the only thing its still doing. I cant gett into recovery.
It does recognize charing on the screen.
Its a stock tab plus N GT-P6211 with the latest stock 3.2 software
also non rooted
Does anyone recognize this of experienced this before and maybe a solution for this?
thanks
greets wout
Does it enter the recovery(manual mode)?

how about download mode power and vol down?
hey thnanks for ur replay,
first times it did crash on recovery, finlay after testing 10 times i was able to do do factory reset.
its working again!
That exact thing happened to my 6210. If you search this forum you will see other people with different variants complaining about it and even on 7.7 . Nobody knowns exactly what causes it, and people got it back working without knowing how. Strange stuff.

[Q] Droid 3 stuck in bootloop

I realize there are multiple threads like this but throughout all of them I have not found any that relate to my issue or a combination of them. If I have missed one I apologize in advance and please direct me to that thread then. I was running steel droid what I thought was 5.5 ICS but it looks like it is 5.1 according to the forums. I was previously running steel droid 4.5 GB. I was switching back to 4.5 because I could not get wifi hotspotting to work. I forgot to wipe my cache and went to install 4.5 and I am stuck in bootloop. X+Power gives me the android error screen, M+Power allows me into the main menu but I cannot use AP fastboot, SBF motorola will not pick up my phone and the screen will show a connection to the USB cable. I've never had a problem before but also have never forgotten to wipe the cache so any thoughts would help.

I would but I get android error screen with exclamation mark each time regardless of how I access recovery X+Power or vol +,- and Power then going to recovery, I wouldn't have thought that not wiping the cache would have been the cause but it was the one step I didn't do that I normally always do so I was just adding it in for information but thanks for the know how that it wasn't the cause. Any other thoughts since I cant even get into my backup ROM or recovery, I have another SD card not sure if my SD card has become fried for some reason, I will be trying that to see if maybe that is all it is.

In it's current state, is it in any way possible to tell that it is rooted? Is the boy animation stock or a different one? Motorola might repair it for you if you can't tell that it's been rooted

Unfortunately you can easily tell that it is not stock ROM by bootloop
Well your computer should recognize your droid that's a common problem with Odin and Samsung one of these steps always work so try then and seen if we can't get your droid recognized NUMBER 4 WILL WORK 99% OF THE TIME BUT TRY THE OTHER METHODS FIRST 1. Use the stock cable or try a difrent port 2. If its possible on your program take out the battery and SD card as leaving them in course problems 3. Run the program as aminstrative 4. Plug the phone in and have it in download mode or whatever you call it WHILE THE COMPUTER IS BOOTING Up This will force the computer to recognize it not the best method but it always works
