HEy

so here is my problem: I can't use my phone... every time I boot up my Sensation it turning off in second. Sometimes it's turning off during boot animation, sometimes from almost fully loaded system... I can't use it, becouse I can't even turn it fully on to run any app..

I'm using newest Albinoman ROM, all updates are installed, all apps are up to date. This problem is from today, but I not updated anything, or changing anything in my phone since last week.

PLS, help!
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
that's strange

did you check if battery connects properly?
[HTC Sensation] hexen88:
yes

everything is connected properly. Now I'm running safe mode without back cover and sd-card (I'm deleting unused files, and defragmenting it on pc), and everything works fine.
[HTC Sensation] ashkan-khatar:
Hi,

This is not a loose battery issue, I think.

Please describe your problem clearly, and the moment that it happens. I mean if it completely gets dark suddenly, or the device hangs up, then reboots after a little while.

That pretty "Thanks" button's waiting for U, in case I helped :P

[HTC Sensation] hexen88:
completely gets dark suddenly and don't turn on after this - I need to use power button. Sometimes it happens when I can see my home screen, sometimes during boot animation with CyanogenMod logo.

But for now everything is working fine, I deinstalled couple of apps, defragmented sd-card on PC, and repaired permissions in ext4 Recovery. I don't know how, but some of accounts dissappear (facebook, whatsapp etc.), and now everything seems working fine.
[HTC Sensation] ashkan-khatar:
Good to hear that.

Good luck. :thumbup:

it's happening again ;( but I need to wait more time to turn off ;(
[HTC Sensation] ashkan-khatar:
Put a little portion of a credit card or something of that sort in the gap between the battery and the top right corner of its surrounding so that it is firm enough. Then try again. If still the same, post your bootloader details.

So, I should have read more thoroughly. I guess the Casual OneClick will not work with version 4.1.2 and soft bricked the phone.

So my fault.

I launched Odin to revert back to 4.1.1 but now Odin keeps failing and I can not recover.

Anyone else having issues with the "Add all Widgets to Lockscreen" feature? I have it enabled in the settings, but whenever I try to add one of the non-standard lockscreen widgets to the lockscreen, only the standard widgets are available....even after hitting the "Show All Widgets"...That button doesn't seem to do anything...

I've seen this issue on LS V2.2 Official and on all the nightlies since...

Found 1 other XDA post where someone cited this issue as well so I guess it's a known issue..

Anyone know if there is a plan to fix it?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheAtheistOtaku:
so, i put 150 on my prepaid account today so that i dont have to worry about my bill till September. so about an hour later, i get a call from tmobile asking me a bunch of questions to make sure im the one who made the payment. They seemed legit, since they had all my account info for tmobile and whatnot. They asked my billing address and the last four of my social. at the end of the call they said my payment should show up on my.tmobile in about 30 secs. its now been 30 minutes and it still hasnt shown up.

so my question is, was that a legit call or did i just totally give some strangers enough info to rip off my bank account
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheAtheistOtaku:
nevermind, i just hit #bal# and it shows my account has been given the money, the website is just slow
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TeknoGodz:
I still would NEVER give out any information over a call I received! That's just not safe. If you placed the call to the tmobile 800 number, yea sure, but I've never heard of them calling you to verify payments! If I were you I would contact T-Mobile to ask them if it was really them, if that's something they actually do (and why??? thats terrible business practice), and if not change all your information.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] XeoNoX:
i agree with Tekno, that was a bad move to give them info like that, or if they were tmo then it was a bad move by tmo. that is indeed a very strange situation

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] slider2828:
Although I have none... Maybe these things as well as contributors can come up with some ideas that might have helped:

1. Kies restore via norbarb's/Kies method. This will remove root, but rerooting is 30 secs.

Root Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2252248

Kies Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2261232

All information is in his thread, but I feel it's easier to download Kies

start it up

and then plug your phone in. Kies will do the rest.

2. Seeder from Market by Entropy512. Root Required!

Download from Market

enable lag reduction

check only 'Start automatically on boot''

select performance profile "Moderate"

Reboot your phone and check its on.

3. Disable the following:

Power Saving (This one lags the phone quite a bit on different charge levels)

Screen Mirroring

Multi Window (This one straight lags the phone period, kinda useless)

4. Android Assitant

Download from Market

Select Tools from Tabs

Select Startup Manager

Under User Tab - Kill anything you don't care about

Under System Tab (Check to Kill on Startup, will run when you start it)-

Email (I don't use it)

Exchange Services (I don't use it - for MS Exchange Servers)

Help

Internet

Maps

Facebook SNS

Talk

Youtube

Reboot the phone

5. Developer Options. (Click 7 Times on the Build Number)

Window animation scale = 0.5

Transition animation scale = 0.5

Animator duration scale = 0.5

I don't use any ATT stuff so I removed it, but I doubt this will do anything. I have everything else enabled other than listed above like air gestures blah bla bla

By all means not exhaustive and lag is based on what you have loaded.... but I just hope this helps!

If others have anything to add please do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] burningembers:
0.5 still gives me lag, I set it to 0 just because it feels more instant.

I still see lag in glow animations, however, so I really think there is something up with the scaling/governor of the CPU/GPU. This will likely be remedied in future optimizations, patches, and/or third-party kernels (I hope).

I also turned off Air View, Air Gesture, Smart Stay, and Smart Scroll just because a part of me feels those were unnecessarily taxing. Messaging actually seems to load faster now that I don't think it needs to track finger movements.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RMXO:
I'm the opposite, I have all the features turned on & animations at default 1.

What I did was frooze all AT&T apps but left Samsung Apps alone since I like to see what they have to offer. Of course, you can freeze them if you want.

DL an app called Android tuner from the Play store & went to the startup section. I unchecked all apps that I didnt want to startup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raqball:
I have done just about everything listed in the 1st post and more at least 3 times in the past 3 days..

The lag-a-thon continues..

I have not tried Seeder or Android Assist nor will I!

I am sure they are premium and top notch applications but if I need to go to that extent just make what should be one of the fastest and quickest phones on the planet (based on it's specs) work then it's time for me to return and move along...

Good luck all as the POS is heading back to AT&T.. :good: :good: :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] slider2828:
Did you reduce to 0 on all 3 scalers like transition, animation, and animation engine(?)

I believe you have to leave Samsung apps completely working because they are tied to the SystemUI and features.

Wait what? Kies released the OS yesterday.... Factory reset and Kies is very different
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raqball:
I did the Odin method twice last night and once today..

Have not tried Kies but may give it a shot later tonight before this thing gets boxed up and sent back to hell...

I doubt there will be any difference whatsoever between using Kies or Odin but hey, I will give it a try..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] slider2828:
Sorry about the frustration, but I appreciate you giving it another try as I really am enjoying this phone coming from an Infuse 4G.

In the meanwhile, try seeder and android assistant as well.... Root is reversible anyways.... Good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mg2195:
Seeder is not by entropy512...it relies on a thing called entropy...and most devs say its pacebo as there is no real reason why it would increase performance...this is just based of the entropy threads ive read...and I believe entropy512 was one of those people who stated it was placebo so a little irony there...however if it makes your phone run faster then use it but I never noticed any differnce with using seeder on any of my previous phones (samsung infuse, htc vivid)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] theraker007:
i've noticed a tiny bit of a delay when unlocking the phone and perhaps when opening SMS and the phone, but its not enough that I feel it's the same lag that a lot of people here are complaining about. I'm only basing that on the fact that there's no way i'd be THIS upset (as some of you are) based on what i'm seeing. So while there's lag, im afraid to try this stuff because it cant possibly be what you guys are experiencing unless you're all huge complainers, which I doubt :silly:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] KryptosXLayer2:
Just a quick, simple suggestion for everyone posting their best "you should try app XYZ" on this thread and others without posting any links to them.... please take the extra 2 seconds to link the app from the Play Store - ahhh, you see what I did there! - because it makes your attempt at a helpful post actually helpful! In the thread I made about that Weather Station app, do you know how many apps that have the words "Weather Station" there are on the Play Store? Here's the current list - would be pretty mean of me if I didn't link it, right? And someone still asked me on that thread what the name of the developer was because they didn't just click the link! :silly:

My 2 cents........
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mocsab:
I am rooted and have noticed a little bit of lag - In the past I have used an app called "LagFix" free https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grilledmonkey.lagfix&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5ncmlsbGVkbW9ua2V5LmxhZ2ZpeCJd

So I tried installing it - dropped my animations in Settings/Developer Options to .5 and I noticed a pretty decent improvement.

I have also have always used Android Assistant https://play.google.com/store/search?q=android+assistant&c=apps because it is such a useful APP and it helps as well.

FYI - I also froze some of the unneeded ATT Bloatware APPS but I am not sure if that had any effect or not -

I was a little dissapointed when I first got this phone because of the lag but honestly I think I have been spoiled by running custom roms for so long I got used to having little to no bloat and hi power kernels --- so, I had to bring things into perspective - can't wait to get the bootloader unlocked and some AOSP roms to flash - lol

I still love this phone despite the few minor annoyances...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] theraker007:
So i read in another thread of some people trying a different launcher and having better results.. I just installed nova launcher and bam.. lag is completely gone. LIke.. there is ZERO lag, not even a hitch.. so maybe the problem lies in how samsung did the launcher?

The only thing that i dont like now is that I can't use the really nicely redone clock/weather widget and the fantastic briefing widget which i fell in love with on day one. Oh well, at least my phone zips now.

I was looking for an answer about this question on the internet, but I could onfly find contradictionary answers, no one knew exactly wheter it just disappears from the recent app drawer, or the app gets killed.

I've noticed that some apps seem to actually close, but some apps seem to be still running after I swipe them away.

So what does swiping away actually do, does it have any good use?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SW686:
Whenever I've tried it, it has killed the app (app completely disappears from the "adb shell ps" list until it is reopened).

I haven't looked at the code so it's entirely possible that this doesn't happen in every case. Especially if the app is running a bound service that some other process is connected to.

I am rooted on a Verizon Note 2 Android 4.1.1 using Exynos Abuse. I used the Voodoo OTA RootKeeper to keep from being updated or whatever. I have heard Verizon just rolled out 4.1.2. I would like to update.

Could someone explain how to do this without losing my root? I would like to remain w/ the ease of Exynos but if i need to learn to do it another method I guess i will.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nbock01:
With mine i did a back up of my root, defrosted SDL (had it frozen for some reason,maybe to keep myself from auto accepting updates?), ran the update, after a couple reboots. Opened Voodoo and restored my root and i was good to go.

Good Luck
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crash613:
Ok. trying to figure out exactly how to do that. I used OTA Rootkeeper to 'unroot' my device. Basically i pressed the Temp.un-root button. closed program. I don't even know what SDL is so i am pretty sure it isn't frozen.

Next i went to setthigns and About phone -- pressed Software update. after about 10 seconds i get a pop up that says "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped.

So it won't update. Not sure what i am doing wrong
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lwsoccjs:
curious

Curious as to why you would want to upgrade to 4.1.2 when the hacks and mods available on 4.1 far exceed that of which 4.1.2 offer. you should have all apps in multi window.. 23 toggle task manager.. with root you can freeze or disable all bloat just curious?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bfitz26:
Seriously its a very very minor update if I upgraded it would be to 4.2 and the very least
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crash613:
you have a very good point. I have no real reason. I just figured 'latest and greatest.' I do, however, want to be able to do it when the time comes 4.2. I really don't run any mods. I only am rooted for the ad blocker and titanium backup. I am looking up 23 toggle task manager now.

I guess i thought i was missing out on something if i don't update. I read in another thread someone talking about the "radio" being updated. I don't have bad reception or anything , but i get nervous when i see something like that is updated and i dont know if mine is 'good enough' anymore.

edit: ok i googled "23 toggle task manager" with quotations.. this tread is the only one on the entire internet that showed up as a result. Is there a different name for that mod?

where would i find it, or info about it?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TonikJDK:
My advice is hit it with Adams casual and unlock the bootloader and of course twrp. I am seeing a fair number of people on your situation losing root and ending up with messed up phones.

Get it unlocked do you are safe moving forward.

Then all you have to do is use twrp to flash bean's stock 4.1.2 which is rooted. He had that up within hours of the update rolling.

Your check for updates is failing because at some point you renamed the apk for it to prevent updates. I forget the name of it. It's mentioned here somewhere.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] crash613:
Thanks to everyone that helped and thanks to lwsoccjs for the link to 23 toggle. I ended up taking the plunge and doing casual and teamwin last night as TonikJDK suggested. I have kind of been wanting to do it anyway but wasn't sure where to start. After reading TonikJDK's post i looked up Casual read a few how-to's about it. Seemed pretty easy. (so far so good)

I upgraded to 4.1.2 using 'beans' version. I think i may still use 23 toggle though. I will probably experiment now with a few different roms just to see what is out there, but i will probably end up keeping it stock, assuming i don't find something that blows it away.

Any suggestions on where to start for a few roms to 'play with?'

I am quite sure i want to keep with a touchwiz style ROM but i may try a 100% stock android becasue this is my first android and i've never used 100% stock before.

Is there a main depository of ROMS? a one-stop-shop so to speak?

thanks again for the help! I hope you guys didn't send me down the path to a new 'addiction!'
