Hello all, I'm new here in XDA. A friend of mine recently got a fighting mini N9300 and we've got some troubles with it. When the phone receives a call it automatically restarts itself. When it does, it doesn't recognise the SD card (and of course, any of the apps in it, including the Launcher I installed) so I have to manually deactivate and reactivate it in the settings menu.
I was wondering if there might be a solution for this, maybe a hard reset or a rom change. I've already seen the root guide here in XDA so I'm am going to give it a shot one of these days, so we can get rid of unnecesary apps and maybe assign more memory to the phone (if possible).
Any advice on how to make the phone run smooth and with no problems, it will be thanked. My friend just wants a phone that can make it through the day with a charge of battery, and will only install Whatsapp, Twitter and similar apps, not very demanding.
Greetings from Argentina and sorry if i had a spelling mistake.

Hi guys
Little help needed.. I've had the phone since Aug 09. Had loads of problems with it, but have now decided after nearly a year to update phone as I've lost all notification lights, the charging light, etc. etc. It's not a great phone at the moment!
Donwloaded latest ROM from the HTC site, plugged in phone, and it wouldn't work. Something about the abl, or acb? Wouldn't connect properly when searching etc.
Anyway round it, Tried disconnecting from net, but figure it needs the connection. But didn't work either way.
Is the latest Orange update the one to go for? Does it help the lousy signal, the frozen text messages?
When it says you lose all data, can someone clarify that for me please? Numbers, Sim card info, Phone numbers info, Pics, Music, Email set ups? etc. etc.?
Thanks
Which ROM have you tried?
If you haven't tried it yet, try the VillainROM 12 I think its pretty stable.
Hi, its the latest one for Orange on the HTC forum, but that's not the problem.
It's the fact I can't get the programme to take. It's that ab thing that keeps stopping me and the ROM just exits..
If your ROM is rooted then you shouldn't install the HTC official updates, instead look at the developers forum here and try ROMs from there. For example VillainROM 12 and many others are based on the latest official HTC update.
If your ROM is not rooted, I am not sure what the problem is. Assuming you don't want to root it, maybe you can get support either from HTC or from the shop you bought it at.
Have you got the latest HTC Sync installed?
Hi
Thanks for your replies.
No, not rooted, not anything, since I got it 12 months ago. Other than plugging into pc to transfer pics which always worked. HTC sync? Not aware of?
Never updated Rom ever, but its given me so much grief over the last year, I get maybe 2 web pages and then it freezes for ages and the green line sits for 10 mins before another page. Is that the nature of this phone? Would an update make a difference to that problem?
I downloaded few apps the other night and removed them and now all lights notifications and charging lights don't work. Typing is so laggy and painful to do. Texts won't scroll for minutes...
I just can't understand how everyone says this phone is so great?
I know its a year old now but its always been like this.
Any help much appreciated.
Install HTC Sync and you're problems should go away, though you may need to boot into fastboot and install the driver for that too for the update to work. I can describe that if necessary.
Thanks again ...
Fastboot? Lost me on that one
What does the Rom update erase?
Will try this tomorrow and see if I can get sync on there
You lose everything, but considering the problems you're having this may not be a bad thing. You can backup certain data without root access (such as texts i believe) but that is about it. Check out SMS Backup & Recovery for that. HTC Sync will do contacts (though you should really be using Google contacts by now rather than phone or sim).
Having said that you should lose nothing on your SD card, but I would format that after putting the new system on just in case (so backup to computer etc).
I'll explain fastboot if it's needed. Post back detailed error messages if you get any after installing HTC Sync.
Thank you for your help. I will attempt that when I'm at home, can't do at work.
Forgot to ask, have many others had the phone switching itself off problem? It still does this, and only when you remove battery will it switch on again. No idea why, but you can press every button and nothing doing till battery is removed. Love to know what causes that...
I'm a great ad for this phone huh.
Hey guys, my Hero just started lagging with FroydVillain 16.xx version. First of all I thought this was just too many programs, or something like that, so I decided to wipe my phone and install new CM version. But then I got error for wipine an ext. I was suggested try wipe ext via ADB, but nothing happend neither. So I just installed the ROM anyway.
Everything was working, but after couple days it started lagging again. The most sensible feeling with SMS's. Then I'm opening new SMS from notification's bar, it takes forever to show me the text. The same with conversations list in Message application. There is also a lag while typing (AnySoftKeyboard with Lithuanian Keyboard).
The same happend today after reinstalling FroydVillain 17.2 with new RA_Hero 17 recovery. Installion was made yesterday. Now I have ~100 SMS's, if it has anything in common.
Any ideas, guys?
This is my apps' list: appbrain.com/user/karolism/
Well for me if I don't restart my phone every few days it slows down, are you overclocked? if not it might help, also some applications might not close properly and drain battery and other resources and lastly the Hero was built with old technology when it was new (I read this somewhere a while after I got my phone but I could be wrong).
Thank you for the reply. Could you tell me more about overclocking? I'm new at this.

Ok... So first I did search the forum for this problem.. I didn't find anything. So here goes..
My Japanese Galaxy S2 WiMax ( AU ) is stock and crashes at least 5-10 times a day. I don't use AU's internet service, I have a pocket WiFi.
I have uninstalled all of my 3rd party apps except Go Launcher. At one time I had it rooted (No custom ROM), but I thought that might be the problem so I did a new install at the AU shop. Still no luck... crash crash crash... what a pain in the butt.
I'm sure it is a Bloat Ware problem from AU.
Can anyone recommend a ROM that will work with this phone?
Or!
Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem so I can root my phone again?
Any help or advice would be appreciated
Found the problem
The problem is that the phone has two stock launchers installed.
Installing go launcher is what made it crash so often.
This is another reason for rooting your phone...
I was going to delete this thread but I'm going to leave it just in case it helps someone else.
Hi
Lets start like this. I have Motorola Atrix 4g, Till this point, more then a year, I've don't have any troubles with him. It's not rooted and have the official software 2.3.4. The phone gets Force Close on "com.motorola.home" app and what I've learn from 6-7h. In the web this problem is from Google search update. When I turn my Atrix on it stuck on Lock screen and I can't do anything (The tuchscreen is working, because when I call my phone I can answer it)
When I connect it to the PC I can open my SD Card and.. Copy paste files..
From what I've read in the web I need to Restore my smartphone.
Here it comes the little big problem: I don't have backup for my contacts or anything else... And because I've using Motorolas contacts, not the Google (HUGE MISTAKE ON MY SIDE) and now I will lose them
The Q is
Is it there a program for PC which can transfer my contacts from the SD Card and put them on the PC.
And yes of course if you have idea how to make the really big problem to go away I will be thankful for ever
So I can do nothing on the phone and need to get backup my contacts...
I hope I don't Bore you alot whit my big thread, but I thing is good to provide more information
I'm Really Really Really Really Sorry for my bad English I just now start to learning it...
tnx
reinstall the sbf of your firmware and do a full wipe in data, this is something that went wrong when you updated.(or unlock and give you phone some sweet love. lol)
OR, try to install a new launcher using ADB.
Hello guys! As first i wanna say thanks a lot for everything you guys do *(This is meant for Developers, Helpers, Admins....,and everybody else that contributes!)* XDA is the best website of its kind - THANKS TO YOU!
Okay so, recently i decided to treat myself with a Phone watch - Samsung Galaxy Gear S from T-MOBILE. i always liked technology and new things that come out and they are one of a kind for a period of time. Phone i have the watch paired with is mine LG G3 from VERIZON, rooted running on Jasmine ROM V3.0 - 4.4.2.
To connect the phone to the watch (Gear Manager APP) i used the tutorial from this forum (Duhhhh.... Where else?! ) if anybody needs it click HERE
Now, when i connected my GEAR S to my G3, the watch did factory reset, which deleted all the apps that were on it which i installed using my old Samsung Galaxy S3 (I do not use it at all, its a ,,backup'' phone etc...)
The question is : Is there any way i could install some apps on the GEAR S without resetting it to factory defaults, and pairing with S3?
I read somewhere you can push em somehow, but first how do i get the apps itself? Im missing a lot of apps and if i wont be able to install anything i dont see a need to use the device till i get some apps on it like OPERA etc... Some useful stuff.
I hate the games that manafacturers play these days. All this stuff to make your life more difficult. Selling a watch which has its own sim card, own internet connection etc... I dont know why they just wont put an APP STORE on the watch.
Now if there is a way to install Samsung APP MARKET on my LG G3, and my phone will be able to push apps into GEAR S please post an tutorial or at least instruction, i will be more than happy to read it, test it and by the way i would make a nice long tutorial for the users of this great forum.
Ps. I tried installing the Samsung Market yesterday (i found an APK available for download) but the APK didnt install. It failed. What i did is edited my build.prop for the phone to identify as GT-i9500 and it bricked my phone 3 - it would boot but my launchers wouldn't load and just kept saying that the application has crashed, over and over and over again. I had a backup which i replaced using TWRP file manager, and fixed my phone..
Well, i hope somebody will be able to help!
Ps2. Just a little offtopic - Do you guys think that Samsung Gear S would of been better with Android as OS? I belive so!
Thank you very much for your time!:good:
Im post instructions HOW to install samsung apps market in THIS thread... read all thread and pages from my post to the end of thread...
