[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JGADroidX:
I had the exact same problem. I was on 4.1.2 stock no root. Even after I acknowledged the message that is crashed, a minute later it would pop up the same message. The phone was running kind of wonky afterwards too. Ended up uninstalling the update and it would open normally, although the older version.

So it's not just you.

I have Lifeless ROM and Twrp 2.5.0.0. Twrp does not recognize its own backups, nor does it recognize flashable Zips. Any suggestions? I have heard of other having this problem, but have not been able to find the fix.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] twcrosno:
Hey humanbean, did you install a AOSP ROM? It created a 0 folder on the root of my SD card and I found my backups in the TWRP folder under that 0 folder. You might be able to move those back ups into the TWRP 2.5.0.0 folder. I never tried that, I just reinstalled a stock ROM and when I went into my SD card I seen the new 0 folder. Hope this helps.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] frankk1979:
TWRP created folder labeled "0" after flashing AOSP rom

I'm having the same problem.. I actually tried that and it didn't work.. Since then, some how recovered one of my backups through TWRP after deleting the folder labeled "0" and recovering right away, BUT now the 0 folder is back. I can't flash anything unless I put it in the 0 folder..Well I'm not sure if I can flash it then either. I'm scared to because I don't have a removable sdcard (HTC ONE) and it seems like this 0 folder is marked as a different partition.. So who knows what will happen if I flash something.. Anybody???
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raykyogrou0:
Two weeks ago I bought a spare battery from a retail store. They claimed it was legit and it did look very convincing (it was also expensive) . I But this morning when I woke up, the screen flickered for a few seconds and then the thing just died. (I normally leave it charging when I sleep if it is almost completely discharged the night before which it was) And it wasn't a normal shutdown either because it didn't display the "android system" screen and "shutting down" pop up like normal. So then it just died and wouldn't turn back on no matter what I tried. It wouldn't charge either (as in, no "charging" display when off) Then I put my old battery back in and it turned on just fine, charging working ok too (*phew*)

I'm still waiting to take this '' piece of ****'' battery back to the store. But what do you think? It looks very legit and I compared it to counterfeit battery pics on the Internet. Has anybody else had a problem similar to this with an original brand battery?

I can post pictures if you want

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raykyogrou0:
Well, today right before I was about go to the store where I bought it, I decided to go and test it one more time. Turns out it charges after all. Should I still go and return it? I dont think the retail store will accept it since the charging does work. What about samsung directly?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chandan_3:
Hi guys,

My HTC One X (Rogers) was working fine until one day I noticed that while I had my AUX cable or headphones plugged in, the ringtone upon receiving a call would be so loud that it'd distort. When I receive calls without having either of these plugged in, the ringer volume is fine but upon plugging them in, the sound amplifies 3x causing a very poor sound quality. It gets fixed after a factory reset (the reset option which only resets accounts and settings and leaves the data as it is). It stays fine for 3-4 days until it starts happening again. I sometimes do a hard restart after full battery charge just to calibrate battery by pressing and holding down power button until it restarts.

A notice appears after restart in the notifications bar,(send error report to HTC.) And I click on it to see it saying that the phone had an abnormal restart. Could this be causing the issue?

I don't have any problems with music or sound without AUX or headphones plugged in.

No problems with music with them plugged in.

Only ringtones distort and get extremely loud when they're plugged in.

This issue was never there since I bought it and has started to trouble me recently :'(

I'm in stress because of this and cannot factory reset every three days. So please help me out if you can. I'd be very grateful :)

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chandan_3:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
You can try downloading the 3.17 ota for your carrier and installing it through your phones recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chandan_3:
Will it fix the issue? Do I lose my data upon update?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chandan_3:
What's the process of installing OTA via recovery? My phone has stock rom and I cannot find a way to install ota via recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
So you'll want to download the OTA zip file from one of the RUU threads. Click the Resource compilation thread link in my signature and scroll down to the RUU section.

Then check the MD5 of your download to make sure there's no corruption.

Then copy the zip file to your SD card. Then boot to bootloader by holding the power button. The back, home, and recent apps buttons will blink (7 times?) then the screen will go black. Let go of power and hold volume down until the bootloader comes up.

Select recovery

When you get a picture on your screen, press power and volume up at the same time(I think?) then you should get a few options one of which being install from zip or something like that.

Select that option, browse to your zip file, select it and let the phone do the rest.

Charge your phone up before doing all this so it doesn't die in the process. Takes about 10-15 mins to complete. I've only done this once that's why I'm a little shady on the details.

Good Luck.

Have you tried both? Otherwise what your saying doesn't mean much

---------- Post added at 02:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 PM ----------

good to know thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] vectron:
True, I haven't tried both. But the fact is that I have both N2 and S4 UAG cases in my hand, used N2 case in extreme situation for 6 months, and also have some experience with other cases (click on my signature link to see what I do on this forum). Oh, and also almost 2000x 4.75 star reviews of similar S3 UAG case on Amazon tells you something too. I write independent reviews of smart phone accessories, so can speak from some experience. If you are looking for something that resembles UAG industrial design, go ahead and save yourself $10 buying other look alikes. But if you want a quality of UAG case which I can voucher from personal experience and reading thousands of reviews from others - get the real thing. It's your money, your decision. I'm just here to offer my humble opinion since you posted a question in this forum ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] SPARK333:
Sorry guys apparently one of his coworkers broke his own case and bought the white obliq one. Lol I guess thats better than having to return it for the uag one
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] tntgdh:
I did tried both. .. and can say that the obliq it as good as the uag. The buttons are better. ... maybe uag is a bit more protective since it has thicker corners. ..but that's it
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] flipq88:
I bought a UAG case and wouldn't buy one of these similar cases simply because I've owned UAG cases and know how good they are protection. Now maybe these similar cases are just as good but I'm happy with UAG. That being said, I can understand someone wanting to save some money and buying one of these cases. Hell some user posted this link on my UAG review and it looks even more like the UAG than the Obliq and it's cheaper, here's the link

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BR...bile/178-5494062-8710220?ref_=cm_cr_pr_sims_t

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] tntgdh:
Well this one is quite good. I'm satisfied.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] SaberClash:
I recently purchased the white version of the Obliq Xtreme Pro S4 case and it arrived today, ahead of schedule by a few days, so I was already impressed right off the bat.

I was excited to use the case and took off my current screen protector (that came with a bundled accessory pack) and placed the new one on. The new screen protector was well above my expectations. I've never used anything more than a cheap screen protector that costs no more than a couple of bucks before on previous phones, but this one blows them all out of the water. It's thicker, but not too thick that you'd notice after application. Also, it was incredibly easy to install (I've had headaches installing screen protectors in the past).

After putting the case on I was thrilled at how great it looked (the white case with black accents on my black S4), only to discover that the buttons do not work very well (or in some cases not at all). When pressing the power button, you have to use excessive force to make it activate. Also, on the volume buttons, the "volume down" button seems to work without any problem, however no matter how hard I press the "volume up" button the phone will not recognize that it is being pressed at all. I have taken the case on and off numerous times to see if it is an alignment issue and after countless attempts I finally gave up.

I was looking forward to writing a great review for this phone, as I am otherwise very impressed with this case (especially for such an affordable price). However, with the buttons not functioning correctly I am afraid this is not going to suffice.

It looks like the majority of the reviews on Amazon do not report having these issues - so I am willing to give the product a second chance. I sent an e-mail to the seller and asked if they would issue my a replacement case. I will let you all know what they say. Does anyone else seem to be experiencing the same issues as myself?

Also - if anyone has any questions about the case feel free to ask.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] thacounty:
You might have to cut a slit by the buttons like the uag for the s3
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] SaberClash:
If you mean what I think you mean, I thought about cutting the buttons out but the issue is that the S4 buttons are very low profile and don't stick out far enough to be able to click them through the case. I haven't tried this, so I can't confirm whether or not this will work.

However, I did get a prompt response from the seller on Amazon (CellKäse) and they stated that there was a bad batch of the cases that suffered from the button issue and that they are going to send me a new case from the new batch that corrected this issue. I will let all of you know how the new one turns out.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] thacounty:
No, You just cut a slit behind the button on the case so it's invisible, but allows it to push easier. Glad you got it tho.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] tntgdh:
Really dude ? Weird... mine here works flawlessly. The buttons are so soft that it is like if I had no cover at all.

Maybe you should try to soften then up a bit.

Uag also have some really stiff buttons. ... the power button is a nightmare.

---------- Post added at 07:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 PM ----------

I'm impressed how friendly cellcase is. I've sent them an email asking some questions and the answered me right away.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] SaberClash:
So you're saying to slice them across from the outside so the buttons sit flush with the rest of the case? Just trying to follow what you mean here before I give it a try. Technically this can be a test case now since I have a new one on the way.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] SaberClash:
Well as I said previously, the vendor told me that they had a bad batch of cases that were sent out. He said they have replacement cases that corrected the issue and apologized for sending one of the bad batch out to me.

What do you mean by softening the buttons up? How would I do that, exactly?

Does anybody use a glass screen protector with this case? Because I'm really tempted of buying one but idk if it'll fit.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] vw671:
I just got it today and haven't used it yet. Quality is really nice for the price. Screen protector looks awesome! It's much thicker than the slim armor, my wireless charging receiver isn't working with it due to this:( phone is really secure in the case, it's not coming out by itself that's for sure. Buttons work fine but the don't click at all, not a deal breaker for me. The wireless charging might be a deal breaker for me though...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] icevapor:
Dang, I was afraid of that. I'm going for something about as thin as the slim armor...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] irishrally:
From what I've read the UAG case is less bulky/slimmer than the Slim Armor case. There are pictures comparing the two from different angles around here some where. I don't know if the Obliq is exactly the same size as the UAG but if it is it's also smaller that the Slim Armor case.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] vw671:
I was under the impression that it was the other way around....Slim Armor which is slimmer than the UAG.

Any woo....The Obliq's screen protector is SUPER nice!!!! Best screen protector I've ever personally used. The Obliq case is also very comfortable to hold in your hand, it feels better than the Slim Armor case. It's matte finish is also a bit gripper than the Slim Armor. Sadly it's not going to work with wireless charging, the back of it is a bit too thick. I would recommend this case to anyone who doesn't need wireless charging.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] irishrally:
