Requires a new screen,

There's work-arounds to eliminate that problem without getting a new screen, however. It requires root access.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigbird5788:
What work around are you referring to? Deactivating the buttons?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
That workaround no longer works. Exynos abuse has been patched. I have a tutorial posted here. Check my profile for the ghosting thread if you happen to be on JB.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
scrolling down after the outdated root method is the workaround to fix the problem.

I ODIN'd back to stock JB and used the method on the link I posted and it worked just fine
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bigbird5788:
Awesome. I read through and i'll see if my wife is fine with it.

Just to double check. This is caused by a faulty screen/digitizer? I was hoping for a separate sensor under the soft keys.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tuscani1821:
Its actually somehow caused by reception fluctuation AND the screen.

Reception as well? Hmmm why do you say that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
It happens in low signal areas.

I have upgarded long time back my Qtek to T-mobile test only ROM.

ROM version 4.00.21

ROM date 8/11/03

Radio version 4.210.00

protocol version 32S54

it is begomming very slow plus the reception of teh phone is so bad.

am trying to change teh ROM version but the system is giving me this error please help:

ERROR: GetDeviceData - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.

cannot execute the remote communication program. please make sure that the usb/serial cable is properly connected
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Biso007:
Tmobile ROMs can't be flashed through USB .. you have to use SD methode.

This slowness is a known bug in older WM2003 ROMs ... either to use a recent ROM like 4.01.16 or A30.09 .... or to install the fix named "clear_notify.exe" in your \windows\startup directory

Bad signal could be out of the RSU 4.21 ... depends on your network and the device type you can use a better RSU ... but it's a very risky action!!!

I was using the official 4.04 and could not get my samsung MHL adapter to work. Then i tried Task's latest 4.22 AOKP and still nothing.

When i was on 4.04 my phone did say that the hdmi cable was attached but thats it :( I would like to get this working. Any help appreciated :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
is there any reason why you havent tried it on stock jelly bean (4.1.1 or 4.1.2)?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] saintsagan:
MHL hasn't worked for me with CM or Task's since the 3.4 kernel update. The last Task ROM to work for me was 3.14. You could try flashing that one. Also try rebooting your phone while it's fully hooked up to your adapter. Try using a ROM that isn't using the 3.4 kernel.

Is there a 4.1.1 that i can flash with cwm? Im with bell if that matters. Thx :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Caiyenne:
I pre-ordered my phone online and was charged a $36 upgrade fee on my phone order. Today I checked my service bill online and there is an additional charge of $36 for a "one time upgrade charge." When i called them the CSR said that she was unable to see my phone order in her system but that it was "impossible" for them to bill the upgrade fee on the phone order so they always add it to the service bill.

After a lot of back and forth and being put on hold, she finally offered to "waive" the upgrade fee... which actually just means I don't have to pay twice lol.

Make sure to check your phone order and your next service bill.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Rox628:
$36 is the new upgrade fee...

Its a joke, but like a good sheep... I signed the contract anyway! Maybe I should call and ask for them to waive it?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Caiyenne:
Used my honey's credit card so I can't check the statement but I have an email with the bill that shows the fee included. I'll have to ask him if they charged his card for the full amount of the bill. With the fee and tax it was $247.99.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Caiyenne:
I already get a business discount due to my employer but unfortunately they don't automatically waive upgrade fees.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Caiyenne:
Yeah I'm a good little sheep now too lol. I was ok with paying the $36 but NOT twice! lol

If you wait long enough to upgrade, they will offer to upgrade you for free and even give you extra discounts. I used to wait for those offers but now I'm becoming addicted to new technology!

Wouldn't hurt to try calling them though!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jtc276:
You can probably get the other $36 charge taken off if you want to argue enough and if you're a VIP customer. At the very least, they'll give you a $25 credit or so for "not being told about the fee." But the easiest way to do it is to tell the person you're upgrading with (it probably has to be through AT&T and you would have to order in store or over the phone) tell you that you won't have to pay it and then remember what their name is in case they say otherwise when you call to get it taken off. Bam. $36 saved.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Rox628:
Yup I'm stupid.... I see you paid $36 twice!

My last upgrade was $18, so i was aggravated to see $36 as a new fee :-\

So far I have $75 dollars of credits in addition to the $36 refund due to having to call them constantly this month. I don't want to push my luck again haha.

Does anyone have a problem with speed dial? If i press say 2 and then

press the dial button i get a ussd error code but if I long press 2 my phone dials. Is this a known bug ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] niteh@wk:
I haven't used stock Touchwiz for a long time but I believe that's the normal behavior. I don't use speed dial, I just create shortcuts to Direct Dial and group those in a folder on my home screen. One click on the shortcut and it dials, quicker than speed dial.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ST4YSTR0NG:
So I got my Xperia Z like a week ago and just bought the Roxfit bumber with scratch resistant protectors.

The shatterproof protector already has quite a lot of scratches in front and rear.

I was wondering if its better to remove the shatterproof protector and apply the scratch resistant ones?

Also if I apply them on top of the shatterproof protector, is it possible to cover/fix the scratches that are visible on the screen?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iDroid8:
I applied a scratch resistant protector on top of the shatter proof one, because the pre applied shatter proofing layer is very prone to scratches. Then I have a soft touch slim case all over it. No problems.

Many thanks, for all users who tested the beta versions and given me comments. Specially for this gentleman who put it to the MPx phone with rotated screen. 8) :shock:

Yes. It works there!

Ok. XDA works with all know hardware. XDAII works almost. Some man reported: no problems, some man reported: problems. I think this is depend from other software too. A little.

Caller's ID photo is much more improved. Stable and auto-hide immediately. Fullscreen message is improved too. Completely hides the default bubble message and auto-hide after 10sec. when you did not answer the phone call.

Owners of the previous version have to uninstall it before reinstallation begin. The password to unlock changed, but if you're owner of previous version you do not re-type the password. To get the new password, please log in to the service where you got your previous and they list you the new one (or email).

As a previous user of Phone profile seriously, I have to say this software, while admitedly eye-appealing, is too buggy to use. It is full of nice ideas, but badly executed. I now switch to pocketzenphone which is perfect, AND IS FREE.

And I hate to say that it is true that JGUI just doesn't listen to customers! I once sent mail to him and got the reply telling me to update. WTF!

If found a piece of review on phone profiles seriously which is fair. During the short use of the 'software', the reviewer identified 7 problems.

'While none of these issues are particularly serious they have a large impact on the feel of the software. To me this software feels like it should be in beta testing and not publicly released. After completing this review Phone Profiles Seriously has been removed. This is a real shame as this software has so much to offer. ' is a very very fair comment on this piece of 'software'.

Mr.JGUI, listen up. I'm an previous beta-tester of your software. I regret paying $30 to you and If you want to laugh at my silliness for 'You are so stupid. I provided trial version and you yet still pay it' , please do so as I have to admit I was being silly for placing trust on you.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BraveRobot:
Can someone please help me? I'm worried my phone may be really screwed up.

I recently rooted my phone using the instructions from this forum and everything went great. I had no problems for a couple days.

Then I installed Titanium Backup and backed up all my apps.

Then I deleted some apps, like Allshare, Dropbox and other bloatware. I still had no problems.

Then I saw that an OTA update was available. I read somewhere that the update can cause problems if stock apps are removed, so I went into Titanium Backup to restore the apps I had deleted. This is where things started to go wrong. When I tried to restore apps, Titanium Backup was hanging and I had to restart the phone. After Dropbox wouldn't restore, I restarted the phone and I'm stuck in a reboot cycle. The phone restarts, I see the usual boot up screens, I see my lock screen, there's a circled i with a cross through it in the notification bar and I can't unlock the phone. How can I get access to my phone back? I'm really upset that this has happened. I thought I was being very careful and this is exactly the kind of thing I was trying to prevent from happening.

Please help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
Be Brave, little Robot.

From what you've described, you're not out of luck here. I seriously doubt you've hard-bricked your phone. In order for me to help you, I need you to verify the following:

You can get into your Recovery (either CWM or TWRP).

You can get into download mode.

If these two are true, you're in luck. Below, I've copied

a post I made yesterday

helping someone else through a similar situation. Some things may be a bit different, but for the most part, it'll help you through you stuff.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BraveRobot:
Haha, you're awesome. Thanks for the quick reply. I'm in CWM recovery now. But I don't understand it well enough to use it without instructions. What should I do?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
I've always given my instructions in TWRP, but the options/settings should be very similar in CWM. In the

quoted post below

, there are instructions on how to flash a new Rom.

For your situation, I'd recommend wiping system in step 4 below:

I'm going home from work for the night. I'll try to keep up with the thread, but if you have any questions,

look over at this thread

, I think Miguelcoo1 asked just about every question that can be asked, haha (he's a good guy, I'm just giving him a hard time).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BraveRobot:
In CWM recovery it says wipe data/factory reset. Is that what I want?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
Is there an advanced option? Factory rest only wipes Data and Cache, if I recall correctly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BraveRobot:
Here are my options:

- reboot system now

- install zip from sdcard

- wipe data/factory reset

- wipe cache partition

- backup and restore

- mounts and storage

- advanced

In advanced, here are my options:

- reboot recovery

- wipe dalvik cache

- wipe battery stats

- report error

- key test

- show log

- fix permissions

- go back

By the way, I have to wait 5 minutes between posts because my account is new. (How do I get rid of that?)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] g_money:
Here's the guide for CWM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
Ok, it sounds like you're on an old version of cwm. In my Sig, click on flashable and you can flash the newest version of cwm. Then you should have the option to wipe system.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BraveRobot:
Alright. I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but this is all very new to me. How do I flash the new CWM onto my phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
Oh! from g_money's guide, under "Mounts and Storage" there should be an option to wipe system. Now be aware, wiping system is wiping your Rom, so you won't be able to boot your phone back up to anything besides recovery and download modes (which is no different than you can do right now anyways).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BraveRobot:
I am so freaking lost.

What is the end-game here? Am I trying to wipe system and then reflash a new rom? And if so, where does that rom come from? Am I basically starting over like in the root guide using Odin?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] g_money:
If you go into recovery/backup and restore/restore, do you have any backups listed?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BraveRobot:
It says "No files found."

So I guess I didn't back anything up?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BraveRobot:
Could someone clue me into what I'm trying to do?

Am I trying to flash a new rom or do I need to do something else?

Sorry for being a noob. I'm trying to learn about this stuff, but it's a little difficult. I really appreciate you guys helping me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Yes the instructions topherk gave you where to wipe and flash freezas stock rom. He gave you the links. Make sure you have the rom on your sd card ready to flash.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BraveRobot:
Ok, that worked. Thanks guys! Everything seems to be back working again.

Does anyone have any idea went wrong with my Titanium Backup? It's kind of useless if it's going to crash my phone when I use it for the main thing it was designed for.

Edit: Actually, I may try to return my phone to stock. Can anyone recommend a guide to un-doing root access and putting everything back completely stock? I think that's probably better for someone with my level of knowledge.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
No I think your ok. At some point you restored one bad data or something. The only thing you should ever restore are apps you downloaded from the play store. Never restore any system apps. And samsung apps (bloat) you don't want to delete you just want to freeze.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
Sorry I kind of bailed on the thread today. I went home from work and got caught up in chores and what-not. I'm glad your phone is back to "normal."

You don't have to be scared of flashing roms. Yes, there are things you can do that can mess up you phone, but most of them are easy to recover from (except when you flash an international Rom, please don't do that).

In my earlier posts, I linked a number of threads which cover a variety of topics including titanium backup and flashing roms. I'd suggest reading through those to get a slightly better understanding of what to do (and what not to do).

The xda community is here to help whenever you need it, and for the most part, we're pretty accommodating to people who need help.

I see that the device encounter problems like bootloops if I don't wipe cache.

Why wiping cache is required when flashing a kernel on HOX? What's unique about this device (or the method using fastboot)? Maybe a state encoded in bootloader?

This step is not required on other devices such as Xperia P or Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1.
[HTC One X] Rexton270:
Wiping cache get rid of "previous" stuff stored on phone. It may cause issues, especially if you going from stock ROM to custom and vice versa...
[HTC One X] csec:
I know that... ROM yes, but Kernel?

The other day I was talking to a kernel guy at note 10.1 forums, he implied that there is no need to clear cache partition when flashing Kernels. And I told him it is needed for HOX.

Now I wanted to know what's the difference? We don't wipe cache for Kernels on GT-N8000.
[HTC One X] athulele:
You can flash kernels without wiping cache. Most of the time it works. But sometimes it encounters some problems.
