I followed the exact instructions from the first post (4 or 5 times) but I still don't have root access. I'm running I9505XXUAMDM

When I flashed the .md5 in ODIN it all appeared to go fine - it rebooted to recovery, flashed SuperSU, wiped cache, etc, but TiBU and root check both tell me I don't have root access. SuperSU is installed, and running SU from terminal emulator gives me a # prompt. Root Validator hangs at "executing tests" when I ask it to check for root.

[HTC Desire S] Xerox98:
So, about two months ago I was given this lovely HTC phone and was delighted that I had a phone that was capable of running Sense 4.1 (and hopefully 5.0 :D ) and has a Jellybean kernel, within the first hour of having the device it was already S-Off'd and had Sense 4.1 installed on it, it was working fine the battery life was good and everything was great.

That day I had to travel to the doctors (3 hour trip) so I got in the car and because I was just given this phone it had 37% battery, so I put it on my car charger and off it went started charging and everything was great. The next day I woke up and put the phone in my pocket without even looking at it, and got in the car, and the phone was turned off, I thought WTF so I just turned it back on and left it in my pocket, then 15 minutes later I looked at it and it was off again, so again I turned it on, but this time I looked at the screen while it was turning on, and it would get past the 'HTC Quietely Brilliant' screen and onto the bootlogo of the ROM and then would go to the lockscreen, so I flick the Sense 4 ring up and I get the homescreen, then a few seconds later, black screen and the phone turns off.

I thought that this was weird, so I just put my SIM in my old phone and put my Desire in the cupboard with my SII and other broken devices ( D: ). But that night when I got home I did some more testing... When the phone is getting power (AC or USB) it will not turn off, but as soon as it is unplugged it will turn off... but if I boot into HBOOT (Bootloader) without a charger plugged in it will work fine and not turn off.

So then I thought it was not a battery problem so it must be something else... so I downloaded [ROM][24-04-13][Flinny] Andromadus - CM10.1[18] and the same thing was happening, it would just turn off after a few seconds.. I basically tried all of the Sense and JB ROM's and this happens..

Then I thought it may be something to do with the kernel, so I downloaded the Ice Cream Saga ROM and used the custom kernel that it packaged with that ROM and the same thing happened, then I downloaded and installed the OFFICIAL ICS.zip that is installed through bootloader and sure enough the same thing happened.

Then I thought it may be the HBOOT, since I was on 0.98.0000, so with the ICS update I got the 2.00.002 (?) HBOOT and the same thing happened, then to be sure I downloaded the ENG HBOOT and flashed that, same thing happened, then I downloaded the 6.xxxx.xxxx HBOOT and flashed it, and sure enough, the same thing still happened.

So what do you think the problem is, do I just buy another battery?
[HTC Desire S] Xerox98:
Also, I forgot to mention that TWRP recovery (and only TWRP) fails to do ANYTHING (wipe, backup, restore, install) and if I boot into TWRP and look at the battery, then reboot into the ROM then back into recovery, the battery will change by ~70%.
[HTC Desire S] Xerox98:
So, I just flashed the latest TWRP recovery (since it is my favorite) and now when I press reboot (or anything really) it will just reboot back into recovery. Like even if I flash a ROM that will work and then I press reboot and I am back in recovery, and if I pull the battery and put it back in I am back in recovery. I can't even get into HBOOT, just to recovery, I am going to try leaving it on the charger all night and see what happens.
[Desire General] dvd777:
Hi to all.

After all, my Desire is sailing off to my friend. :(

But, my friend doesn't want 4.2.2., he wants stable ROM. So, I will put back some GB 2.3.X ROM on it.

So, please, recommend me some nice GB ROM. I didn't use them so much, so I don't know which one is good, better or the best.

I will put inside Transcend 4GB Class 4 card and make 512MB 4EXT partition, and Desire will stay on Stock HBOOT. Once I used Aurora ROM and it was OK.

Many thanks.

Hey,

How the hell do the dust particles get under the glass? I had one when i bought my tab 2 weeks ago. I count 6 now... will banging it get it to shift?
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
I wouldn't count on it, since the 'stickiness' is probably due to electrostatic charge. You might try wiping the screen with a damp cloth -- that fixed it on older monitor I had -- but if there is a separate layer underneath (which is entirely possible, and even probable, in nowadays' displays) you're basically scre*ed.

Judging from your location, a little dust might be expected, but two weeks is a little too fast. Obviously, there's an opening somewhere. You might want to try and find it, and shut it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] RedSkyRoad:
Are you trying to mock me here...? Seriously?

1] I'm referring to my TF700 display, hence the forum i'm posting this in

2] "under" means underneath the glass...

3] "Judging from your location" ? WTF dude
[Asus Transformer TF700] faustus1005:
If you bought it two weeks ago, and its truly under the glass (try a bit of water when cleaning if you haven't), then return it for a new one.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Wow, yo useem to be irritated fairly easily, my friend. Nowhere do you read any mocking, except for what you want to read into.

1) I do not know if the TF700's display is a layered display, so I do not know if there's only a glass layer to take into account (you could open it up and clean it yourself, if you're handy) or a base layer of some poymer which would retain dust particles probably beyond your (or my, before you feel "mocked again") capacity to clean it.

2) Since you (or I, before you feel "mocked again") do not know what "underneath" means in the physical sense -- see point 1 -- this is a too vague statement.

3) It states "Johannesburg" in your avatar space -- while it is not the Sahara, I would think it is more dusty than where, say, I live. Don't feel mocked again, though.

Again, before you accuse me, at least make sure you have an adequate command of the English language and please refrain from reading "into" racist comments (that's what I sense if I "read into" yours). I do not care where you're from, what you may or may not believe in, or what the color of your skin is, but the 3rd point of your reply I find in need of more ridicule than I can provide after a work shift. If you want to accuse me of something, please try and get something better than this.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oliver005:
...*facepalm*. You're not using original charger and you're complain that the one you use doens't works so well? Do you know that original charger is pulling 2000mA out, while your usb-port is pulling between 300mA and 500mA (depends if it front or back usb-port and the quality of usb port). Do the math, 2600mAh battery and 300mA / h. Full charge should take: 2600:300 = more than 8.5 hours.

With original charger S4 recharges from 0 to 100 in 1h 49minutes. If you take a solar charger it will charge even slower (like 48 hours for 0-100%).

Next time try to use your brain before complaining.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fade2green514:
put it this way... the s3 comes with a 700ma charger. it charges a bit slow. and has a 2100mah battery.

the s4 comes with a 2 amp charger. thats 2000ma. it doesnt charge slowly if you use this charger. i personally am going to pop it on this charger when i get home from work and then keep it on my 700ma charger overnight... no reason to waste that powerful output, it will simply waste electricity.

make sure:

1. you use the charger that came with it

2. you use a cable thats as long as (or shorter than) the stock charging cable. longer usb cables tend to charge the phone slower.

also keep in mind usb ports charge any phone slowly. the s4 will charge even slower on them because the battery is oversized compared to most.

You might have plugged it in a lower volt socket? Here in Philippines we usually have 2 sockets. Most are 220v but depending on your house you can have 110v socket setup in you home.

Went to samsung service centre today to inquire about this, they told me to come back with my phone and full charger set for them to check.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
The slow charging via a usb port really should come as no surprise. If you use the stock charger and cable, the phone can pull 1900 mA if you plug it into a usb port, you're imposing a limit of only 500 mA.

Also, I know you said you were using the stock charger. Were you using the supplied cable as well?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -sandro-:
that app shows 1900 to me but is it really trustworthy? I mean it doesn't seem correct. In 1h and 20 the battery should be fully charged with screen off of course. From my tests it went to 50% in 1h...hence the classic 1A.

It's not slow by any means anyway.

Edit: nevermind, it's really charging at 1.9A, in 41 minutes it charged 45%. Very fast!

PS you can also use non-stock cables and it will charge at 1.9A as well!

As you may see... both charger's power output and usb cables are important for best results. As a rule of thumb, if you are planning on getting a replacement charger or car charger don't look for anything less than 2.1A output. For usb cables... usually you get what you paid for, so look for words like "high speed" when buying a USB.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuartv:
And apparently XDA attracts some REALLY rude people, too. And I think you've just demonstrated both.

The phone firmware contains the charging logic. The logic that, for example, will detect that you hooked up an incompatible charger and not allow the phone to charge at all. That same logic can tell it to limit the current draw to 500mA when it detects that it's hooked up to a computer USB port. Do you think the USB port is what is limiting the current draw? No. Put a short across it and see if it just sits there pushing 500mA across the short, or if it pops a fuse or burns out. The phone firmware is what controls the current it draws. The same logic that throttles it down to 1 or 2 or 3 mA when the battery is full.

Dead wrong if a cable is too resistive due to being long and/or thin it will not be able supply the required current without excessive voltage drop.

Charging cables for these 1+ amp devices need to have fractions an ohm resistance (1 ohm x 1 amp = 1V of 5V lost). No software is going to bypass Ohm's law.

I was surprised to see that this could be an issue but when I analysed a problem someone was having with their Nexus 7 the resistance I calculated from the gauge and length of the wire explained it perfectly.
