Hello all,

So ive been running Paranoid for a while. Today i went into recovery and wiped all the data....cleared dalvik and regular cache...

Wiped everything and clicked factory settings also.

Now when i try to reboot...It says you dont have supersu, do you want to install.....If i click YES it stays on google logo forever....If i click NO, same it stays there....

Am i doing anything wrong....I even tried to flash the ROM again...but my SDcard is empty now
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizy7:
What possessed you to wipe everything?

You need to fastboot flash the factory images
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScumDroid:
Use ADB to push the ROM to your phones SD card, and reflash it. Theres lots of tutorials here on setting up, and using ADB.

Hey thanks ScumDroid....I used sideload option in NEXUS 4 tool kit and pushed the paranoid rom into card again and flashed it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dj_aj:
Hey folks,

I am currently using an unlocked S4 from Wind Mobile on the Virgin Mobile network. It is technically the T-Mobile variant - SGH-M919V.

In comparison, the Virgin/Bell S4 is the SGH-I337.

My phone usually stays on LTE but it tends to revert to 3G in some areas, but never on 4G or H+. I had thought that the bands were compatible on the virgin mobile network, which brings me to my question.

Does your S4 ever revert to 4G or H+ when not on LTE? If that is the case, I am thinking of trading my Wind S4 for the Virgin/Bell S4.

Appreciate your feedback.

Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] haloimplant:
I'm pretty sure the M919 should fully support the 850 and 1900 MHz UMTS/HSPA bands, also you'd never see 3G or be able to do voice calls and texts without them.

I just got my SGH-I337M from Virgin yesterday and it definitely reverts to H+. So far it seems that it reverts from LTE to H+ after the phone has been sitting a while, and then if I start using the data it will kick up to LTE (probably doing that to save battery instead of keeping LTE on all the time?).

Who knows what could be going on with your unit. That is a Wind unit right? Maybe the software is different. One thing I know is that ROMs can show 3G/4G/H/H+ differently. Have you done a speed test while it is showing 3G? If it is true that you are falling all the way down to basic 3G/UMTS and not getting HSPA/HSPA+ then your speeds should be limited to less than 0.5 Mbps I think.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dj_aj:
Thanks for the quick reply.

I managed to run a couple of speedtests when not on LTE. And they were around 2 Mbps down and 1.5 Mbps up. I don't think those are necessarily H+ speeds. But it's decent enough. Maybe then the reason I am seeing 3G is because of the way the ROM chooses to display non-LTE connections.

I double checked the supported bands, and it is true that the Wind S4 (T-Mobile variant) not only supports all the bands that the Bell/Virgin S4 does but the additional AWS band as well.

Is there a way for me to force the H+ connection on the phone, just to see that it works? Or should I possibly flash the modem/radio from the virgin/bell ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ChronoReverse:
Open up the Testing Menu, go into Device Info and see what it says for Network Type.

Make sure your wifi is off and hit "Run ping test" as few times and look at what it changes to.

HSPAP:15

HSPA:11

HSUPA:10

If you see these then it's fine, just icons are different.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dj_aj:
Solved!

Okay,

I did a few things to verify that despite the phone showing 3G, it is in fact on 4G or H+ when not on LTE.

I went into ServiceMode by entering *#2263# in the Phone Dialer.

I forced non-LTE connections by changing the automatic preference to WCDMA 850 and WCDMA 1900 respectively.

These are the 2 bands that are 4G or H+ for Bell and Virgin Mobile Canada.

Then I ran speedtests to a close by server and got around 7 Mbps down and 3 Mbps, which are definitely 4G/H+ speeds.

Also, following [MENTION=2656752]ChronoReverse[/MENTION] advice, I found that the network type was in fact HSPAP: 15 and HSPA: 11 (screenshots attached).

So, in conclusion I can rest my obsessive personality and accept the fact that the phone is in fact capable & is running on 4G networks. It's a ROM thing I suppose.

Or in other words, the Galaxy S4 from Wind Mobile (or T-Mobile) is completely capable of running on Virgin Mobile Canada, Bell Canada, Rogers networks with full support of LTE and 4G/H+.

Embarrassed to say what a small little 3G icon does to a person these days!

Thanks for all the help!

So its hit or miss... on stock messaging app I turned off that preview option so it doesn't show the text in the status bar or lock screen. But how do I stop the lock screen from turning on when a text comes in. Like I said I feel like its hit or miss or maybe I'm just nuts but sometimes I feel like it does and sometimes it doesn't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chris000001:
If you are rooted, you can use Xposed to show that option: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2293956 (under applications, "Show screen on toggle"), then you can go to the messaging app and turn it off.

On top of the new update which doesn't detect on device music, does anyone else have constant issues on any version with streaming skipping around and clutching up?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] venelar:
Use a build prop editor to make sure lpa.decode is set to false for streaming problems
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bigbubbamcgee:
I had some issues for about 3 hours the other day with streaming music. It would skip and freeze. But, I haven't had any issues since.

Like 90% of the time my locally stored music just disappears from play music. Works fine on other players though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] KillerBeaver:
It's been working the best it ever has on my end, apart from the build prop tweak. But that's not from Google music, that's Rom specific.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] crypysmoker:
It stores the music in android/secure, so when flashing anew rom and wiping, it erases all of it. Made me mad the first time I did it because I had downloaded about 5 gb, and I re flashed anew rom a couple days later and it was all gone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jacobas92:
Thanks, but I was actually talking about my non-play music. Stuff I put on there myself. After clearing the app's data it all shows back up but after downloading any play music or adding more songs to the library and then rebooting, it disappears again. In the end I found it's best and easiest to just re-tag and move any downloaded play store music and use apollo or the htc music app.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] dfens:
You can't actually turn off the XDA2, only put it into standby. Best advice is to just back it up all the data and then restore it if it is lost when you come back. If you are gone for 2 weeks or less than you might save some battery power by putting it into flight mode. Mine lasted from a full charge for 15 days (without use) on flight mode.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] cruisin-thru:
Leaving it charging wont harm it as far as I know, you can switch on flight mode then press power button to switch off phone and pda, alternatively you could do a full backup to sd card and just leave it in the drawer until you return home.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mach1man:
Ok so I hard bricked my S3 and I need to send off to mobile tech video for them to fix. They are also going to root it for me so I need suggestions on the best Rom to pick. These are the main features I want from the Rom, the note 2 split screen, floating keyboard, note 2 camera with gallery and close to stock feel/look.

Thanks guys
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
These posts tend to get shut down as a lot of people were asking for suggestions for the "best" or "most stable" rom. No s3 rom has split screen. Plus you can easily go to the android development thread and to a particular rom's thread and look at its features.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mach1man:
Thanks. And synergy Rom does have split screen, I was just wondering if others did too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobAbooE:
Sounds lame but I would just read the OP of each rom. It's better to learn that way for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bbqsfire:
I would usually suggest that you try them to see but you have been having a string of bad luck with your phone. I like hyper drive which has multi windows as well as the MOAR. I personally can't stand the multi windows option but that's just me. I also think bonestock rom is a nice choice but I can't remember if it has multi windows or not. Like others have said just read the threads to which one you like and good luck after you get your phone back

Thanks. Yea it was a string of bad luck that day lol. I have a note 2 and I use the multi Window here and there but it's nice to just have that option. I've root before but I've been away from android for a while and had a brain fart that night, I didn't check the files name and when I added it to Odin it said .tar.tar not

.tar.md5 oops and that was it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bbqsfire:
I bricked my Samsung epic a few years ago because my dog jumped up and yanked the usb cable out during Odin but luckily the sprint employees at the store wasn't smart enough to realize what I did and exchanged it for a new one. My fiance has the note 2 and she uses the multi windows a lot. Since that is something you really want give hyper drive a go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mach1man:
Thanks and that sucks about your dog pulling the cable out, I make sure no one is around when I do mine. Yea unfortunately I got the S3 of Craigslist and never activated it so it would be hard for me to get a warranty exchange lol. But sweet I'll look into that rom.

Hi!

I have a Galaxy S3 chinese clone, rooted.

I edit build.prop to use 140 LCD density (I like it), but if my phone turns into tablet mode. The HOME key don't show recent apps too, when I press and hold... The maximal value without turn into tablet mode is 170. Less than this, "tablet mode" on.

Tablet mode is like: bigger status bar, Opera Mobile with menu bar at top, IM+ using tablet interface, etc...

So, how I can use 140 density without "tablet mode", and have home key working?

Thanks!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Innomen:
Trying to just sim unlock. Still S-on, no roms flashed yet other than the recovery and super user thing. (which works according to the terminal emulator.)

No just trying to unlock it so I can stick in my tmobile prepaid sim. They tell me once the phone is unlocked I can just drop it in and everything will be fine.

Problem is, the only way to unlock it I can see is to screw around with downgrading my firmware, using ace to unlock and then bringing i5t back up to date and none of the methods seem current. They virtually all have dead links or are for earlier version of everything.

Having managed to root (more or less, still s-on) is there any way I can get the unlock code for my imei without having to pay someone or go beg at&t in person?

Or can someone confirm for me with some kind of citation that unlocking an htc inspire is not possible even when rooted?

Thanks very much for your time :)

After thought: would flashing MIUI or some other rom sim unlock my phone?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
The AAHK site by attn1 has a manual method.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Innomen:
shall Henbil

Thank you for responding :)

I've been all over that site. Starting here: (I'm not allowed to post links) *sigh*

And I can't find anything relevant to my particular combination of circumstances. I've been googling and reading all day.

Could you provide a more specific link?

To my understanding the ace hack method will require me to relock my phone and then employ it to unlock it, but this will also entail a down grade of my radio firmware. I would like to avoid that because the ace kit is apparently no longer supported and I'd like to not risk bricking my phone with an extraneous process. (relocking with the intent of unlocking.)

What part of the phone controls the sim lock? Is s-off relevant in this context? In a sense search engines, forum or Google, are worthless because of the sheer number of variables and old answers. This problem is made infinitely worse by the general trade for forums to outlaw "necro posting." (Which preserves outdated information while simultaneous severing links to new information, on tops of creating false positive results.)

I haven't even begun to play with my phone only options. For all I know there is some off market third party app out there that will unlock my phone from its home screen hehe.

I'm rambling. Sorry.

It's useless to me because I'm not a developer. It's rather blatant and mean about running non-devs off.

In fact I don't know what I am doing.

Do you (or anyone) have any alternative resources?

How is it pay sites are able to generate unlock codes?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
All I know to do is go ask your provider for an unlock code.

I'm starting to agree, but given my inexperience I was hoping I just missed something in my research.

You need to read all the replies in this thread again because you're clearly not understanding the point, or you have some misconceptions about how things work. Or both.

Also I don't know why do you insist that recovery somehow changes. It literally

NEVER

changes. Unless you change it intentionally, by flashing a different recovery or messing up the existing one somehow.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmbeach05:
The only way I can think of to do what you want to do requires you to have both devices. It requires you to have a nandroid backup on device #1. Take this file and move it to your computer. Boot device #2 up so its ready for fastboot. Open up Command Prompt and navigate to where your fastboot files are. Place the recovery.img in this folder. Connect device #2 to your computer. Run the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" This should do what you want done.

However, I did read that you wanted the stock recovery. If you want that, flash a sbf via RSD. This will put you back on an OTA. You're more than welcome to try ROM Factory to try to get the recovery.img, but idk if it pulls the recovery.img. Using the dd command via adb should also work, but I've never tried it. To the best of my knowledge, if you want the official recovery, you put yourself in the position where all you can have is stock GB 2.3.4 or 2.3.6. That's it. If you want to upgrade your device to a custom GB ROM, ICS, or JB, you must have CWM or TWRP, or something along those lines.
