[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ae1990:
tried this an no luck

I have this same problem, I've already taken the battery connector off reset it nothing there, removed batter tried to ,annually charge using some wires on + and - terminals still no dice.

I'm afraid my warranty is void because of those procedures. Does any one know if that's the case.

I still have solid red led when I plug it, and I had solid red led when I plugged in with no battery, does anyone know if the battery is just completely dead and needs to be replaced?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumster:
I had a similar problem on one of my Nexus 4 phones - I went to the LG service centre to get it looked at. They said the motherboard is gone and needs to get replaced. If your phone is still in warranty then you can get it done - otherwise replacing mother board is a very expensive affair - you would be better off buying a new Nexus 5.

Is it time to trash the N4

My Nexus 4 went low on battery power (3%) so I plugged it in to my usb car charger, soon after i noticed a solid red led light coming from the notification led. I left it on charge for close to 12hrs once I got home. Pulled the rear cover off and removed the battery to test the voltage... 3.8V was available. After reassembly and many different attempts at button pressing combinations there is still no life whatsoever and when I plug it into the AC charger I still get the solid RED LED light of Death...

:( Can anybody tell me if the mainboard is likely to be fried???
[Galaxy S III General] TeddyOFLove:
Hello guys, i am thinking of changing my motorola razr maxx into galaxy s3 and i would like to ask if it stands up to the price?

Is it good phone or not?

And i found one used for 3-4 months by a guy and it is reasonably priced and still looks shiny (no scratches and stuff). So the question is what i should check before i hand over the money for the phone, so i don't get scammed by broken or in any other way ruined device?
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
The S3 is an awesome phone, and well worth the price imo.

Some things to check before you buy it is the obvious, will it switch on, are there any signs of physical damage ect, but you should also check your own sim card in the phone, if for example the phone is stolen and has been reported to the network your sim will not work in the phone.

Give it a good check over to make sure everything works, all you can't really check is battery life, because that requires time. Also check under Settings > About Phone > Status, and check whether it says the system has been modified. Then switch it off, hold Vol down, home and power then press vol up at the prompt and check what the red writing says in the top corner, if it says Custom binary downloaded yes (xx counts) ask what they have flashed.
[Galaxy S III General] TeddyOFLove:
Thanks for the fast reply. But you mentioned if system have been modified to check it by holding Vol down, home and power then press vol up at the prompt. If system is modified what kind of impact on user experience could it have? For example: Will i be able to go back so stock or flash any rom i want or maybe it could limit me in some ways?
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
You can go to stock, and if it has been modified I would flash something if you choose to buy it because you have no idea what he has put on it, even if it's a reputable rom or kernel he could have some script in it, I know it's a little paranoid but it's better to be safe than sorry :)
[Galaxy S III General] furkey:
Of course the battery life will not satisfy you if you come from RAZR maxx but it has the most longest (well at least longer than other competitors :)) battery life. Oh and performance is voila :). And the s4 is releasing up coming days. So that means s3 turns into cost/performance device. So you should definitely upgrade to s3 :)

Btw if there is a mistake with my grammar or other stuff please ignore it :)

It is indeed a Power House with Custom ROM / Custom Kernel and Tweaking....

Give it a shot and u won't regret it....
[Galaxy S III General] TeddyOFLove:
Thanks guys for your opinions, i will surely upgrade to s3, so it is good to know that it is a good device. The only thing left now is to find best offer :good: and not get scammed :highfive:.

One of you guys mentioned that switching from Razr Maxx will leave me sad i think i can handle it as long as it is better than that of xperia x10 or htc desire S that i owned (they were :eek: very bad at it). However maxx lost its touch to me couse of Unlockable Bootloader and all the security features that doesnt allow to root new Jellybean update..... Which sickens me as a ROM addict the most :laugh:, The main reason that i want to leave razr is actually that i upgraded to jellybean and lost root after keeping it with Voodoo ota rootkeeper :D so my device is now unrootable and it is worst thing that could happen to Android device :p

BTW which one in reality looks more awesome, the black or white colors on s3? Just asking couse i havent seen black one in person,i have seen only the white model.

[Galaxy S III General] TigerCourage:
The white one is better. I have the pebble blue one and it got dust under the screen and it's very noticeable while on the white you can't see it.

For the battery just get the official 3000mah extended battery. I'm getting amazing battery life!
[Galaxy S III General] Garreth88:
And I have a small suggestion - after you put your own sim-card make a phone call to somebody and check how you can hear the person and if the other person can hear you well.
[Galaxy S III General] TeddyOFLove:
Heh just got myself and S3 :) Got it for good price and its brand new :victory: , anyway thanks for suggestions guys :highfive:.

Any suggestions for roms kernels? BTW is it possible to unlock bootloader? and is there easy way to root or i will have to use ADB manually? <---- Mod Edit: Please don't turn this into a "Best ROM" thread or it will have to be shut down.
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
The bootloader is not locked.

Check the original development for cf auto root to root via Odin.

On the ROM side I personally like Ultima, slim bean and CM10.1 but check them yourself, see which sounds good to you, check the last 10 posts and try the ones that seem best for you.
[Galaxy S III General] TeddyOFLove:
Well anyway, i have found this toolkit for s3 and rooted my device with installing custom recovery and installing root.zip. The tools seems very easy to use and has a lot of features aswell. However i am not in a hurry to unlock bootloader just yet. Maybe you know any debloated stock roms? Couse default one feels kinda slugish atm.

And BTW why there are two development sections? Shouldn't android development section be same as original development?
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
As I said the S3 bootloader doesn't need unlocking, there are a few debloated stock roms, the ones I would reccomend are Omega, Wanamlite and Ultima all can be found in the Android Development.

There are two development sections, Origianal development is mainly for projects build from source or from scratch, for example the offcial CM threads are there, Slimbean is in there, there are also threads for the various kernels, but unofficial CM, AOKP etc ports and samsung based roms are in development because they are not original.
[Galaxy S III General] Woody:
"Best ROM" threads are NOT against the rules. They do always however turn into pissing matches and ultimately flaming starts shortly after. That is why the are frowned upon and closed.

Rules #1 is Search. You can look in the Development section and see which one you think you might like. Then read the last 10 pages for bugs. If that it the one you like, then start at the OP and read, read, read.

Development is for developing something that is of a base ROM, (i.e. stick ROM base)

Original Development is for building from source (i.e. setting up a build environment on your PC and syncing repos).

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romeokk:
Hi all.

I just rooted my phone, changed system font, installed CWM, installed white balance app. What is the shortest way to get back to the origin? Does re-flashing stock rom do the thing? Otherwise, are there any ways to delete all things added in the system when rooted / delete trace of CWM.

Thanks
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l_j_88:
re-flashing is the only way.

if unlocked, can only flash by flashtool

if locked, can flash by flashtool or restore by Sony PCC or US.

PCC or US will wipe all of your data.

for flashtool, uncheck "wipe data" to keep your personal data.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Panabax:
Is their a way, through the registry or elsewhere (short of re-pairing) to enable two bluetooth headsets and then switch between which one is the headset profile for the XDA II? I have the Parrot CK3000 bluetooth handsfree kit in my car which, after the recent software release, is working great. However, it's hard to take with you when you leave the car. I would basically like to pair to both it and my SE HBH-65 headset and be able to switch between the two as the active headset when I am in or out of the car. Ideally, a small program I can run from the Today screen would be best.

Any help?

It's quite obvious. The limited storage this device has will resort most people to use cloud storage. You can access it anywhere if you have internet connection. You can upload photos as a backup just in case if you lose your phone or your storage mysteriously deletes itself.

I use cloud storage frequently for sending project data back/forth with clients, FTP's are a PITA, not so much as an extended storage means for my phone however.

I've ran into similar issues before with cyanogenmod involving a "getprop" error but I am now receiving the error for any AOSP rom I attempt to install including AOKP and Hellybean. Samsung base roms are installing fine for some reason though. As far as Cyanogenmod is concerned I thought the issue may have been the kernel/ recovery... I have tried everything I know to do and to no avail. In past times I received this error installing CM so I used ODIN to return to stock but I would rather not have to do that if not neccesary. Thanks for reading.

I wish I had a little more input myself to describe what i've done but i'm a bit of a flashaholic and i've had so many roms I can't remember.... but I will say that once I reinstalled to AOKP I downloaded CWM-based recovery (most recent) from ROM manager (yes I know its garbage) because I thought that having that recovery would allow for the install, but to no avail. I currently have AOKP installed now (latest task release) but I really would prefer CM10...

Also, when I installed CWM-base recovery from rom manger I noticed that from my available recovery list it mentioned TWRP... is there any chance that TWRP remnants could remain from a previous rom install? (I full wipe every install)

Artm03 gave you the correct information you need!!!! I will add it it will be better if you have the zip file on your computer and edit it then move it to your phone. Just open the zip (don't extract it) edit the updater script as artm03 told you. Make sure you delete all 3 lines, so your first line will start with "mount"...... GL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ou812bkewl:
If a computer is not available, one could use the app "Total Commander" from the Play Store to edit and repack the updater script all on the phone.

Just navigate to the script inside the zip file, long press it, and select "unzip+edit". Open it up, and remove the assert lines as stated above. Hit save, then the back button and you'll be prompted to "repack" the changed file back into the zip file. It will take around half a minute to repack, then is ready for flashing.

BE CAREFUL to flash the correct zip for the i777, as the script assert that prevents this from happening is what this process removes.
