[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ErickE:
Thanks. I saw that too. My only concern was if I should just bring it into the Sprint store first for them to have a look at it. I was worried that if I went the root route to correct it (and I do intend to root anyways), if that didn't correct the problem, then I would need to bring it into the store for them to look at.

Will the restore OS/Wipe Disk option (from stock recovery) bring it back to 100% "original" in case I needed to take it in?

Thanks for the reply. I may just go that route

Unfortunately, Google search has stopped... followup

Did you go with the Titanium backup route an deleted the Google Search app (actually, as I understand it, from the actual ROM... not only as a regular installed app) and re-installed from the Play Store? if so, what are the results?

Both my N4 and my N7 started showing "Unfortunately, Google search has stopped" messages after I edited one sports card in Google Now. Since its happening in both devices it is clearly either an app related issue, a Google related issue or something in between but, definitely NOT a hardware issue...

Your comments are welcome, thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ErickE:
I tested with a friend who got the GS4 last week from Sprint also. I walked him through all of the steps and his search application did not hang at all after adding a sports team or stock ticker. He was on firmware version MDL.

I took it to the Sprint store (even though I bought it from Costco) and they agreed 100% that something was wrong with it. They didn't want to work on it since I just got it from Costco. They said to just take it back since it's so new.

This morning, I received the MDL update. I applied it but unfortunately, it didn't fix the problem

I called Wireless Advocates this morning (the company that sells for Costco) and they suggested that I go back to the store to return it (even though their instructions that arrived with the phone specifically says Do Not Return To Costco In Case Of A Problem.

So, I'm kind of at a loss. If I root it and try to Titanium to delete it, I'm worried that I will lose any recourse with Costco. Once it's rooted, I am out on my own. I am thinking that I will try and return it tonight and if I am unsuccessful, then I will root it and delete the app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] piensa:
Well, to be honest with you... as annoying and pissing it is to have the "Unfortunately Google Search Has Stopped" problem and Google Now not working properly on its last update, the problem seems not to be as bad to return your shiny new phone to Costco or where you bought it.

This is actually a software problem that Google should be fixing very soon and releasing an update to do so. Bear in mind, also that this very week Google I/O conference will take place in San Francisco and most probably they will release a new Android version 4.3 or 5.... which should include most probably a fix to this.

In the meantime, go to your Play Store, search fo "Google Search" and un-install all upgrade to this app, also disable auto-updates for this app and that should work. I have done it and it is OK (not the latest Google Now..but it works, at least doesn't crash).

During the lifetime of your phone you will encounter bugs in software, as long as they are repaired quickly and there are not impeding the usage of the phone and its critical functions, those are not reasons to return it. My 2 cents.

Good luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ErickE:
Thanks Piensa. I appreciate your detailed response.

I am right there with you. I can deal with it as long as I know that it's a software issue and not a hardware issue. The more and more I have been reading (and your reply also) indicates that it is a software issue. The weird part is why my friend's Sprint GS4 doesn't have this problem and the Sprint Store also said that it was a definite bug. That's the part I don't get. Why does his Google Search work and mine is crashing?

Good point about Google I/O (excited to see what they announce this week) and maybe an update will be released. Unfortunately, the version of Google Now included with the GS4 is the very latest (ver 2.4.10.626027) and I am unable to back out any updates (thanks for the suggestion).

I guess I will ride it out this week and see what comes out of Google I/O.

Question. Do you know if I root the phone without installing a custom recovery, can I back it out simply by factory resetting the phone and will Costco/Sprint know that it was rooted at one point?

Thanks again for your help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] piensa:
Thanks for your comment.

Well, we are all here to help each other...that's the beauty of the Internet ! ;)

It seems to my that because of your phone's use pattern the bug got hit and appeared... your friend may not be enjoying his phone as you are...so, no bugs have appeared. Or, he may not have the latest version of Google Search (so he is using an outdated phone! ;)

Pretty much the same happened to me... since few days ago, my Google Now worked perfectly, actually I had no sports card...suddenly, I wanted to check what the heck people was watching on public TV (a sports event) in a restaurant I went to...so I asked Google Now to search..and it came with the names of the playing teams...and decided to add them as my favorite sports in the sports card....everything went down from there when I tried deleting those "favorite teams" from the sports card...everything Google Now started crashing.....

On the other hand, my wife's smartphone, another Android, still works flawlessly... no crashing of G-Now, no weird messages...and she has the exact same Android version as I do.... so, well, we both got lucky finding that SOFTWARE bug.... let us hope that Google will fix it very soon. There are MANY people experiencing this annoyance so, I am confident Google will not let it pass too long...(I understand they may be a little busy with their 2013 I/O event...so, I can wait a few days....).

Again, just downgrade to a previous version of Google Search, by deleting the upgrades of it in the Play Store and don't let it self upgrade Google Searh, for now... if you do that, you will be fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ErickE:
I can't back out any updates as there have been none to Google Search. The GS4 ships with the most current. The only option for Google Search in the Play Store is "open".

I can uninstall updates to Gmail, etc but not Google Search (see attached pic).

Thanks for your assistance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] piensa:
"Unfortunately Google Search Has Stopped

Woow. you are correct.

The version of Google Search that your GS4 came with, from factory, is in fact the latest one. My Nexus 4 came with a previous version installed thus I was able to do the downgrade.

So, if you are not rooted, and/or do not want to mess with your firmware, seems you have to wait for Google to fix this issue. Sorry to learn that friend.

Lets hope it gets fixed very soon.

"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ErickE:
Yup. I'm trying to decide what to do now. I went to Costco tonight to look into swapping it out for a new one and they don't carry Sprint products in store. So I would either need to work with Wireless Advocates to ship it back and pay $600 for an advance replacement or just wait it out, hoping that the phone itself is fine and wait for Google to correct it.

If I was still on MDC, I would have used motochopper to root it, uninstall Google Search and then test re-installing it to see if it corrects it. But the MDL upgrade today killed that option.

I think I will wait a couple days, see what comes out of I/O as well as the root exploits for MDL and make a decision. It just sucks because I don't want to spend time customizing the phone to my liking in case I swap it out or wipe it, etc.

Again, many thanks for your help.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsenru:
So I'm using a Samsung Epic 4G Touch (Sprint GSII) running the rooted GB27 stock rom.

I've got a Sandisk 64GB MicroSDXC card which I've been using for the last year to keep my music on, and I recently decided to clear the SD card, resort all of my genres and load the music back on (around 10,000 songs or so).

Samsung's software, being obnoxious as usual, won't let me mount the SD card in Windows, only use the device in MTP mode to transfer files. Well I plugged my phone in, started transferring the music, and (four hours later) it stopped transferring additional songs. About 3/4 of the music is on the phone now, but whenever I try to transfer another song Windows takes forever and ever trying to transfer a single song, then gives me an error message about how the file may not be compatible with my device and would I like to skip it. Doing some reading on XDA, I found that it's an issue with MTP and the best way (and only way I could find) to work around it is just to use a card reader and mount it directly to the computer.

So I dug out my MicroSD reader, plugged it in and Windows is not recognizing the card, only a 1MB Partition. I thought maybe it was formatted to EXT4, so I opened up Diskinternal's Linux Reader. In Diskinternals I can see that there's a FAT32 partition with all the data in it, but I can't mount it through Diskinternals. I tried booting to an Ubuntu LiveCD, but it won't even recognize the card reader is plugged in.

Here's screenshots of what I see when I try to mount it, any idea how to proceed? I'm not opposed to formatting the card, I have backups of all the files on it. I am a bit nervous to wipe that 1 MB partition, if only because I don't know why I can't see the other partition and I'm nervous to screw with stuff if I don't know what's going on.

I can get more screenshots of this if there's something I missed. Thanks for any and all help!

I was wondering if we can manage commands like

Like commands which we use during custom ROM installation or while testing it by connecting to pc.

Is there any way to manage these commands inside an android terminal emulator app.

I tried to use those command directly after switching to root access but it didn't work out for me.

Does anyone knows if it is possible and if it is what is the correct way to do it.

Don't know if there is a way to copy your entire contacts in one move to the SIM. If possible most SIM can store a limited number of contacts.

But it is possible to copy contacts one by one to the SIM. Maybe you knew this allready. If not this is how:

Tap to a contact an hold until a menu appears. Choose Save To SIM an a copy of the contact is saved to the SIM.

Cheers,

You can also copy multiple contacts onto your SIM by selecting the desired (or all) contacts and then tapping Tools -> Save to SIM.

Hello, i've been using gingerdx 31b for some time, and during that time I always have been experiencing the camera bug wich ive read around these forums, occurs on several different ROMS, the bug im talking about is the one where the camera turns black after taking several photos in a row (i generally cant take more than 3), wich is pretty bothering, so id like to ask you if there is any current ROM where this issue does not occur.

Hey guys i need some help please.

I opened my phone up a few weeks ago to blow out some dust that got in behind the screen. But when I put it all back together again. The phone wouldn't boot, but somehow i got it going again. But since then, whilst using the phone the screen will randomly stop responding and then the phone itself will just crash,

Now, when I go to reboot (I have to take battery out and back in) HTC spalshscreen comes on then the screen just slowly goes off within 15 secs (my splash screen is usually on for about 20 secs and the miui splash comes on straight after when working).

I have to keep rebooting until the phone comes on and then it would work fine for 1-2 days before it plays up again.

If trawled through similar problem but still can find an answer. Please help me out guys, I need to get my phone working again as I can't afford a new one as good as this.

If it helps I have been running on miui xj for about 8 months

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Hi i read the other day in the desire s threads and when u took the lcd screen off the digitizer (front of the phone) did u damage the tape glue around the edge that holds them both together? Because if u damage it even the slightest bit it and theres the tiniest gap, it will cause the screen to not work properly and give faulse/positive touchs and the phone to not work correct. Maybe this is not ur problem but i thought id say.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sol01:
Well you theory does make sense, I didn't actually take the digitizer out but I did notice looking through the screen that theres a little gap there thats allowing all the dust to get in there.
