[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] njguy99:
I recently got a Samsung Epic 4G Touch and immediately flashed the system to ICS, using SFHub's stock rooted FF18.

Phone works great with that rom. But I was trying to apply Kobridge's tweak pack and discovered that recovery is not letting me install .zip files.

I reboot into recovery fine, and can choose "apply update from sd card .zip" fine. I can navigate to the file fine. When I select it though, it immediately switches to an android bot lying down, with its hood open and a red triangle above it.

I then have to pull the battery to re-boot the phone. It boots into normal startup fine, but the tweak has not been applied.

I tried several versions, and other zips, and it doesn't seem to want to let me install anything that way.

Ideas? I'd rather not have to put CWM on the phone or a different rom on the phone just yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
That is because the install update zips are for official sprint/Samsung upgrades. To flash those you need CWM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LanceEpic:
You're going to need CWM or another custom recovery to flash anything on your phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] njguy99:
Now I feel like an idiot. I thought the version I got had a working recovery in it, but you're right - it didn't.

I installed Agat's and it's working fine now.

Thanks for the help!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g_ding84:
No problem. Your not an idiot. It's alittle confusing sometimes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LanceEpic:
No problem and I agree. You're not an idiot. It's also better to ask questions than it is to end up with a very expensive paperweight because you tried to figure things out on your own like some of us have done.

ROOTED Verizon GS4 & Safestrap ROM install ERROR

Good day everyone!

I seem to have bumped into a problem im hoping someone on here can possibly help with.

I successfully rooted my Verizon Galaxy S4 on ME7 and got safestrap installed. I followed all the steps correctly then

I downloaded the Hyperdrive ROM but when I get to the install step for the ROM, it gives me a error saying "The zip cannot be flashed " or something of that matter. Anyone know a way to fix this or work around it?

Anyones help is truly appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
This is the E4GT forum. You need to head over to the S4 forum, specifically the OP for Hyperdrive.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Even though you're in the wrong forum... It sounds like a bad download, try redownloading the ROM.

So, I'm coming from an iPhone 4 with FaceTime.. What is the widely accepted alternative for Android? On my Samsung Galaxy S3 on T-mobile

I've tried a few, and they were all terrible. And that was over WIFI... I couldn't even imagine over mobile data.:p
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Restola:
Skype video calls works well for me on my GS3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MrWharfsnort:
Google Hangouts work pretty well over data and wifi
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jye75:
Also Qik
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dayv:
Tango
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Raul77:
Skype or Tango.

unlike Facetime, they both work on 3G/LTE/Wifi and they are available on all Operating systems, from Android to PC/OSX.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Araltd:
I guess I should have mentioned, I need it to be compatible with iPhone's (an app ios can install I mean)

I've never heard of or seen Google hangout, I'll check that one.

QIK I completely forgot about - That used to be pretty good.

Skype I know is like the standard, and I think is pc->mobile device capable too??

THANKS - KEEP THE SUGGESTIONS COMING PLEASE
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mlin:
plain old Google talk. There is no iPhone app from Google but it works well from www.Google.com/talk

I used gtalk on my sgs3 this weekend.with my wife using the aforementioned website on her iPhone just fine. It did not work as well when she used the vtalk ios app.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Dave the Knave:
You're correct. I use Skype all the time on my phone to my girlfriend who uses her laptop.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] harpdarp:
Seconded. Google Talk is great. I was using it earlier today for video chat.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] e36eury:
Tango

My wife and I have been using Tango with her iPhone and my Razr Maxx (S3 on Wed). Works great, it is as seamless and easy to use as FaceTime, which is important with my wife being as useless technically as she is.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Araltd:
Tango?

I'm shocked to see so many people suggest Tango. I know its easy, and seamless integration and all, but the quality of the video and audio is SOOO BAD. At least the couple times we tried it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Araltd:
I'm not touching that with a 10 ft pole... LMAO
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] e36eury:
And if she should ever read that I would say that someone stole access to my account and posted lies. Lol.

Re: quality, its not much different than Facetime. The video and audio are fine to me. No its not HD, but it is clear and works well.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Araltd:
I'll have to try it again, maybe I missed a quality setting or something.. it was just terrible last time. And to be clear, I don't think FaceTime is that great either, but its exactly as you said.. its clear, the audio is plenty audible, there is little to no lag or delay. It does what its suppose to do.

My experience with Tango was very opposite.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ilostmypistons:
GTalk works great for me. Anyone with Gmail is easy to communicate with.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sqwigy224:
skype seems to work the best but tango and qik were some of the first I used.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] uplifted6:
I really like tango. It has always worked well for me and you can use it on an iPhone as well.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MrWharfsnort:
I totally forgot that Google Talk has it built in... plus I'm sure it works as well (video qualitywise) as doing a hangout on Google+
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Khadija Ishaq:
FaceTime alternatives on Android

You can use skype that will work pretty well on Samsung S3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Araltd:
Funny this thread cache back up 4 years later... For the record there are a few video chat apps I've used.

Tango has the most bells and whistles. Good quality too.

Google DUO is really easy, simple and to the point. 1 click video chat. Nothing extra, just video. And again, good video quality.

Both have iOS apps too, if you have friends or family with iPhones.

My sound stop working on the resound. My phone is always on vibrate so I don't know when it started. It works through the headphones, but not the externals.

Any advice?

I am going to try and restore an old backup of the system and new kernals, radio, and Rom if that doesn't work.
[HTC Rezound] Superm@π:
I had the same issue once......just reboot.
[HTC Rezound] Nappyloxs:
Tried that, clean cache, messing with sound and music apps. Nothin
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
Make a nandroid, flash another rom. Still doesn't work, time to RUU and see if they work. If not, probably a hardware issue.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] whd5015:
Hey guys,

Over the past few weeks I've realized a weird clicking noise when typing text messages. I do have "Vibrate feedback" enabled. Every time the phone vibrates from touch feedback, not only do I hear the normal sound of the vibration, but also an audible clicking noise. Is this normal? This sound was never an issue prior to a week ago.

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ethomas94:
I get that too. It sounds like it's coming from inside the phone, not the speaker. But I think it's a common HTC one x flaw, because there are ALOT more people who have it also.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Vendetta-NY:
Try settings, language & keyboard, HTC Sense input, sound feedback.

On or off?

Sorry if I'm being captain obvious here, but I've overlooked simpler things myself.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mcmb03:
probably the camera lens. put your ear next to the lense and lightly shake your phone. it's how the phone was designed
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] whd5015:
The noise surely isn't coming from the speaker. Maybe something loose within the phone? The lens noise is something I've noticed from the start, but this is unrelated.

Not something that is crazy annoying, but I was wondering if others had the same issue. Shaking the phone won't replicate the noise, and when I turn "Vibration feedback" off, the click will go away upon touching the screen.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
It's a defect with the vibration motor. Of the 5 HOXs that I've gone through, 3 of them had it including my current one. It's annoying but it's the only problem my HOX has so I'm dealing with it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jphilippon:
Luckily I don't have this because I'm typing all the time. Seriously a lot. The camera lens click did worry me at first before I read this thread.

I occasionally get a clicky screen on the top though. Don't really press up there much.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mcmb03:
yeah, it's how they designed it. I'm not sure the reasoning, but I do know that it was intentional
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stnguyen09:
Using Swiftkey, I noticed that if I had my vibration duration too low (I think the default is 10ms) I would get the clicking and barely any vibration. Ramping it up at 20ms makes the vibration actually noticeable and the clicking stops. I think it may be the latency between you hitting the screen and the vibration motor kicking on that causes the clicking since (pulling numbers out of nowhere here...) the vibration motor may take 9.9ms to kick on after receiving a vibrate signal but at 10ms it receives an off signal so it just studders and causes a clicking noise.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dalvarez0312:
Yea I get this too. This is my 3rd hox and all three have had it. I stopped worrying about it too much since I realized it has to be common. I noticed it after flashing different rooms since the vibration feedback when typing seems to feel more pronounced than on stock sense.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jphilippon:
SwiftKey you can edit your own feedback. I set it to 20-25ms and it's fine.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hydromea:
I have the SAME exact thing. Definetely not the camera lens. Seems to be near the bottom of the phone. It's this clicky, poppy, tapping noise as if you are pulling apart two sticky objects. I agree that it seems like the vibration motor.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] liaobp1983:
I had it on my desire gsm. I think its due to vibration kicking in.

Well I can try later, keyboard vibration off and see if it makes a click.

But never did annoys, I'm loving it actually, just like a typewriter.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jphilippon:
Guys. It's the vibration feedback when typing. The response time must be different than the program time and it only kicks a little. I set my SwiftKey keyboard to 25ms vibration when typing. It's very nice. No clicks because it gives it enough time to vibrate and it feels good. Trust.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] instepos:
Same problem

I'm have this same problem on a new HT 27 batch model. This is not just a SwfitKey typing issues a the capacitive buttons and the dialer all make the same clicky noise. I getting really bored of swapping my HOX now this is my third and what I thought was perfect is not. I will have to send my to HTC as it's out of the 28 days grrrr.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Kingsmith:
Mine has the same problem, it sounds and feels really wrong like it's scraping against something. I heard a friend who has the EVO 4g LTE say he has the same problem.

Makes me feel really bad about the phone, like they didn't care enough to test it properly.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tyessen:
Mine also does this if the vibrate feedback is enabled. I just disabled it and now I'm fine.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Valohtar:
Yeah I noticed the same thing. Didn't sound too good so I turned it off.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ziroxs:
Thank you i was searching everywhere but not within this setting.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DvineLord:
I have an HT25 i never get a click but aosp roms have much more intense vibration then sense roms. Wish i knew how to lower the intensity in CM10 and other aosp roms.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] droidiam:
I kind of liked the stock keyboard that came with the galaxy s3, it no longer swypes or has the voice input since I rooted my phone using the guide in the stickies. Anyway to get those features back?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] hotelmrrsn:
same thing happened to me, install the swype beta, it works better than the stock one and has integrated voice search.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] aj8600:
I recommend SwiftKey
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ltrw201:
I thought the same but if you press and hold down the key between the sym and space bar you can toggle to between the mic, write, Settings
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] fpena:
Thats because you installed the root stock rom that is stripped. The developer stripped a lot of apk and I think Swype was one of them. You either have two choices. You can either download his zip file of all the apk and odex files that he stripped and install them back by pushing them through adb OR you can wipe your phone clean and re-flash, using Odin of course, with this Clean Rooted Stock Image located here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1762204

Personally I used the last option. I used Titanium backup to do a full backup, did a factory reset, reflashed with Odin and recovered eveything with my full backup. Also, you can use Titanium Backup to freeze all the verizon bloatware that you don't want to have, this is the safest way fro me. Hope this Helps!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwannyBhoy:
Hello SGS2 users! Has anyone experienced this problem before?

I was originally running VK 5.1.2 without a problem then I flashed RR 2.5.3; didn't really like the theme then I came across PFittech ROM GTX which I thought "Wow!".

After flashing, I noticed that when the screen went off and locked, it won't wake and I need to pull battery and reboot.

As you may know that is extremely inconvenient so I flashed stock rom and went back to VK 5.1.2 but this hasn't stopped the problem :(

I have done all the wipes (cache, dalvik, factory/data and format system!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pelpa87:
Ur having SOD, sleep of death... when ur phone enters deepsleep it wont get up.

this is frequently related with UV, or poor bus freq.

u should flash a kernel cleaner like this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1363738

or any other. then u have to flash a new kernal.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwannyBhoy:
Thanks mate! Will try this now
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwannyBhoy:
Still there

Firstly, I flashed stock firmware, then I flashed cf-root. Went into recovery and done a full wipe and flashed the script.

I done another wipe then installed VK Rom (I have never had a problem with this) and left the phone for 30 secs on screen off and it came back.

What should I do next?

Should I check all settings for CPU and GPU? Revert them to standard? I don't touch those settings as I don't have a great knowledge of changing volts and clock speeds.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gigeaky:
Maybe you could let it on stock (unrooted) and see if it happens again...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwannyBhoy:
I flashed the stock LPB firmware and used it for a full day and I never experience any SoD. Tried a few custom roms and still having the error.

Although there may seem there is nothing wrong with the phone, I have never had a problem with any roms I use. All the roms I am trying are previous downloads that have worked successfully so I doubt there is any corruption.

I won't be giving up and I will be trying everything and anything... the now I am going to try Gingerbread based roms and see if I still get the error. If anyone else has any more ideas please tell me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pelpa87:
Can i suggest u to use rootbox ics?? Is almost flawless and i thinkbu wont have any problem

If u still getting sod u could try giving a little more voltage to ur cpu or bus...if u use fluxi with this rom is very easy to do that
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Force F:
Im a first time root user i flashed RR 2.5.3 with fluxi kernel over my stock ics its running very smoth and had no problem so far

You might need to check your cpu frequency i read her that if it was set to less than 200Mhz you might have the sleep of death issue
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwannyBhoy:
Flashed it and crashed when i opened xxTweak after reboot wouldn't boot past the triangle. Can't get into recovery only Download mode with Jig

I have tried RR 2.5.3 and had no problems in the past but now it is also giving me the SoD. Only on stock firmware I don't get it and I don't touch the cpu freq but I will take a look on the clock freqs.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwannyBhoy:
Good news! I fixed it!

What I did:

First of all, I had an extended battery and I swapped it for the old battery (Because of case with stand it won't fit)

Flashed stock GB (XXKI3)

Flashed CF-Root KI3

Full Wipe (Cache, Factory/Data, Dalvik, Battery stats)

Format System

Flashed Kernel Cleaner

Flashed VK 5.1.2

Flashed Siyah 3.3.2

So after doing all this, the SoD has gone. So it must be a problem with Fluxi on my device.

I may be wrong but after doing this the problem stopped and I am happy again :D

So thank you to you all who tried to help!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syph0nX:
I have the same problem, except my SOD also has high battery drain even though the phone is pretty much useless. Very annoying when you are relying on the alarm clock. Did you also notice high battery drain?

I found it happened on Thebyani 4.3, not on 4.4, and now it happened on 4.5. Im hoping the kernel cleaner and the latest Siyah kernel will fix it. Any kernels you guys recommend if it still happens?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pelpa87:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwannyBhoy:
I had a high battery drain already abd i bought a new extended battery. I am charging the device the now and it has heated but i took it off and turn it off to cool. I am going to recalibrate the battey

Try doing what I did to see if it helps.

Flash a stock unrooted firmare and see if you still get SoD

Ive been using my phone since i posted and not had one SoD.

Do you mess with your freqs? Try keeping them to basic

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syph0nX:
SOD for me is very infrequent though, I may go for a week without it happening. But it's not something I can just have happening randomly.

I never messed with any frequencies, but I have now put the minimum scaling frequency to 300mhz instead of 200mhz.

I'm really apprehensive about flashing stock firmware, can't stand touchwiz. I'm just gonna hope it's been fixed
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pelpa87:
Dude, its not common to have sod without u touching voltage...or u r using a very poor developed rom(as u said is.not aokp based, because u want touchwiz) or ur phone is having some hardware issues...
