Actually, to be more specific, the touch feature may or may not still work, but I'm pretty certain that the display(digitizer) itself is damaged.

Hi,

Okay, I'm not a n00b (no offense to any n00bs, we were all there), so I am able to follow along, but I feel like I've just bought my first phone, because this is so basic, but I can't figure it out! <lol>

A long time ago in a far away and distant galaxy (Get it, Galaxy phone? <lol>), I somehow set my Contacts app to save contacts to my Google account, so I'd automatically have them again when I "traveled to a new galaxy" (got a new Samsung Galaxy) and it has worked great!

However, what I did not realize, is that they would no longer save to the "Device" and this has caused a big problem, in that now, when I install a 3rd party Contacts app, most of them (the ones I like, of course) cannot see my contacts, saying; "No Contacts found on Device", or something similar and don't have a setting telling them to Sync to my Google account for them.

So my question is, how can I get the (came with the phone) Contacts app to save contacts to "Device" and "Google"?

I don't mean Exporting them to a file. I mean when you are looking at a contact within the app and it shows where the contact is linked to (chain icon), it will show the contact as being on the Device, but also linked to Google for Sync/backup purposes.

My phone info should appear in my Signature below, but just in case:

Samsung Galaxy (SM-N910T3) Note 4

Marshmallow 6.0.1, Rooted, TWRP 3.0.2.0

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Do a Google search for:

"Custom ROM for (your model number)"

Then flash that in TWRP

Or

Do a Google search for:

"Return to stock (your model number)"

That should find your stock firmware, the tools to flash it and instructions.

It could possibly be the proximity sensor malfunctioning. It may telling the screen to stay dark, but I think touch doesn't work while proximity sensor has the screen off.

If you want to MX, you'll also need to install the LocalCast app. Then in MX Player, select the movie > three dot menu button (top right) > tools > share > LocalCast > select the device you are streaming to.

A better option would be to use Terrarium TV. You can stream directly from the app, and it has the best quality for TV shows and movies from any app I've ever tried. You can find many streams in 1080p and even some in 4k

My device is a GT-S5660, Galaxy Gio. Normally i would say with this problem it is a hardware failure, but the interesting thing is i can manually mount /data when i give the command 'mount /dev/block/stl13 /data' in the terminal accessed through recovery. After this i can browse the data folder and see inside the data folder the folders adrenaline, anr, app, app-private, cache, dalvik-cache, data etc etc. I copied the stl13 file to my pc and checked it with the 'e2fsck -f' which it passed without errors, the same command does not give a good result in the terminal on my phone. I also created a new image with Toporesize and replaced the original stl13 file with the same result. I mounted my sd card location to my /data folder also without result. I formatted them all in ext2 and ext4 with no change. I was wondering if putting a script on the phone that executes the mount /data/block/stl13 /data' command after starting the phone would help bypass this problem but i got no experience in this and don't even know if this is possible.

What was the result when run on the phone? I agree with you that I'm leaning toward hardware failure. I'm worried that the solid state memory may be failing, which would basically mean a motherboard replacement.

Geez I'm sorry for the thread, it's been awhile since I was here at XDA. I've tried a few different ways to delete that bad boy but it keeps surfacing like a dead body. :confused:

The subject is Aspect Ratios, posted yesterday. Thanks while I reacquaint myself with the real estate here.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yeah, somehow, I can't see that working out for you the way you want it.

Emulator or not, I'm willing to bet that you'll run into some issues that will need to fixed with a custom kernel and that will require rooting the device or at least developing a stock based custom kernel then installing that kernel.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You can't delete it, all you can do is close the thread so that no one can post in it. You can do that yourself or you can just click the report botton(yellow/orange triangle) on the border around your post and request that a moderator close it for you.

[General Questions and Answers] darshan1504:
I need some help with my cellular network(rooted,Lineage OS). I get network sometimes (like 5 seconds) so I dont think its a hardware issue. I have valid IMEI number but I just cant figure out whats wrong. I got this issue after I went back to the stock rom for some info and came back to lineage. *I did not modify anything, anywhere. I just wanted to see the audio settings in stock*.

I've tried flashing the stock rom update to get the baseband updated but that doesn't seem to be the issue either. Any help will be much appreciated as I'm stuck for almost 3 weeks now

P.S. The no network is on both the ROMs
[General Questions and Answers] cwhiatt:
Given that you are rooted, I'd suggest installing deep sleep batter saver or Greenify which can help immensely in retaining battery life. In addition to that, I'd suggest installing Xposed and then the amplify module so you can pin point any alarms or wakelocks that might be resulting in drain.

I replaced stl13 again with a file created with Toporesize in my pc, but this time i made it a bit smaller than the original file. This time terminal on the phone said it needed terminal for interactive repairs. I checked after this and the mount error is gone, i can mount and unmount in recovery, i can format it all without errors. I have formatted it now to ext4 and installed Aurora Rom 3. It booted now so i guess it worked. Thanks for your interest

Sorry for the late reply. Yes wifi works perfectly. I took it to the Samsung service center and the guy over there flashed all four files (AP,CSC,etc) via odin but it still didn't work so he just suggested that I should replace the motherboard. The cost is just ridiculous! The network still drops a lot but its fine cause I have wifi connection most of the time and I'm not that frequent on my phone either. If you could help me fix it then that'd be great but it seems kinda impossible at the moment

Why SELinux permissive?

I do not understand -- What for SELinux permissive is required, I mean what things can we do if we disable 'SELinux enforced'. Another thing, I wanted to know is do the OEMs help the customer in getting 'S-OFF' on the devices(may be with some charges) ?

I have this old Samsung GT-i8260 that i want to give to my grandma. Problem is that screen stopped working. Touch doesnt respong to anything. So i tried to factory reset several times via recovery but still nothing.

I am predicting that this is due to software so i would like to maybe root it and flash a ROM. But i cant turn on the USB debugging.

Any ideas? Or should i just throw it away?

SELinux permissive is required for certain root apps, such as: Kernel Auditor or Viper4Android, for example.

It depends on what you're trying to do, some things need permissive, some don't.

Hey, I messed up my Lg Tribtute 2, so I flashed a boost mobile rom on it, everything works perfectly, except for the internet, it's always giving me fake wifi. The only fix is to turn off other devices' wifi connected to the same wifi, and that's obviously an enormous pain, if anyone can help me on this issue I'd be extremely grateful!

Edit- Oh yeah, I can also temporarily fix it by turning the wifi off and on again, depending on how many devices are on the wifi in my house, the longer that solution works, if there is no one off the wifi in the house, that fix can last from about 5 second to not working at all.

Edit 2-Oh, also, I have flashed this room on about 4 devices, and they all have the same issue, whereas devices I haven't flashed don't have this issue, so I know it is a flaw with the operating system.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I flashed a lot of Samsung devices and to flash custom roms first I do is enable this option but to flash stock roms never I looked upon this and ever was succesfully also you don´t need to root it to flash stock roms.

Maybe is enabled default or Odin got a recursive flash. You can try it as it is. But really I don´t think that it is a software issue related, in some old devices display simply stops to work, maybe the touch maybe just flex.
[General Questions and Answers] zubair1836:
At this time, how can you say it is software problem?

Try attaching an external mouse using OTG Cable. If your phone can be operated by mouse. It is surely hardware problem, you need to get it repaired.

If phone is not operated by mouse. It could either mean that it doesn't support OTG or there is a software problem.
[General Questions and Answers] arnax1:
It probably doesnt support OTG, i tried it and nothing happened.

I did not mention that one time it stopped working, then i rebooted it and it was working again for a few days and then screen stopped reacting again. Now after even multiple factory resets the display is just unresponsive. I thought i would just flash some old Cyanogenmod onto it, but first i need to root it and install recovery, but without enabling USB debug i cant do it right? And i cant enable it if i cant control the display?
[General Questions and Answers] MoroVader:
hi xda people,

(English isn't my native language, sorry in advance) I've recentily rooted my Samsung J7 Pro and proceeded to remove the usual bloatware I don't care keeping (Microsoft apps, Samsung apps I can't use because of root like SHealth and Samsung Pay, let me know if you need the full list). The thing is, it seems one of those apps was responsible of the "internet browsing" part of the phone. Allow me to explain. Currently, I've experienced the following apps immediately crashing the moment I launch them: Dolphin browser (Samsung stock browser works fine apparently), Friendly (facebook mask-over-browser alternative app) which is logic it would crash since Dolphin as the default browser does not work properly, Google Search, and also selecting the 'read more' button under a description when browsing apps in the Play Store makes it crash and close. Any idea what could be the issue? I hope it is something I can re-install or unfreeze rather than flashing the stock firmware. EDIT: I just remembered I was also having issues with touchwiz but since I use an alternative launcher I had forgotten that could also be part of the problem.

Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Download your stock firmware then extract the app that you need from the firmware then connect your device to PC and move a copy of the app to your phones internal memory. Then, on your phone, use a file manager that has a root explorer to push the copy of that app back to /system/app or system/priv-app folder(whichever folder that you deleted the app from).

Or, find someone that has the same model number and stock firmware that you have, then have them.make a copy of the app on their device then have them upload it somewhere for you to download it, then move it to phone and push to system as described above.

A much simpler solution is to flash your stock firmware but you'll have to root the device again after flashing.

Next time, do your research to find out which apps are safe to remove BEFORE you remove them. A way to test what is safe is to first disable an app in system settings>applications then use the device as you would normally, if disabling the app doesn't cause any issues then you can safely remove it. If disabling does cause issues, re-enable the app and then do the same test with the next app.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
No, most of devices from 2013 don´t support OTG. If you say that sometimes respond and then from time to time don´t then your best option is to flash again rom stock, download your rom, download odin. go to download mode and do it, if succesful first you have to do is go to this option and enable it.

Although I flashed many custom roms without consider this but ever that I wipe absolutely all before to flash was succesfull. I have a theory that when you wipe all Android enables this option by default.

To flash some custom rom here you have a TWRP for your device https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-core/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-2-0-samsung-galaxy-t3468405 you can flash it also through Odin converting your recovery in .tar with 7zip and selecting AP option in Odin, uncheck second tab "reboot after flash" and go manually to recovery (most Samsung holding pwr-menu-vol up when appear logo release pwr button till enter recovery, previously download Supersu v2,46 or v2,68 to root it then boot normally.

Here you have a general thread where you can find some custom roms for your device https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-core/development

At this stage I think that it is the flex that connect display that is doing a false contact for humidity, dust or something similar and maybe you have to replace it.
[General Questions and Answers] Malfix:
So does anyone have an answer to my question?
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Yeah how about you stop flashing that rom to devices as there is something wrong with it. Not sure why you would keep doing it and expecting different results.

Other then that, but the stock rom back on the device and only flash things made for that device from the carrier you got it on.
[General Questions and Answers] Malfix:
Well, I flashed the roms with the intent on fixing the wifi problem on them, I thought it would be an easy fix. Also, I already tried to find the exact rom that my carrier had on the device before hand, I couldn't find it anywhere on the web, and I even contacted my carrier for the rom, they said they didn't have it anymore, and therefore they couldn't give it to me.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
That is a problem with many low end devices. If it had the wifi issue before then that says that it is just a weak anntenna or wifi code. The only way to test that would be to find the kernel source if it was released and then make your own AOSP based rom but for that device I wouldnt hold my breath.
