Hi there

I am from India and I have bought a Samsung galaxy S3 SGH-I747 16GB Blue unlocked T-Mobile phone with 2GB RAM on line from Ebay. The phone is working fine till I put it in to washing machine. After 10 mints I came to know the phone is in the washing machine and I took it out and removed the battery open the parts, wiped the water and keep the phone in the sunlight by covering my kerchief around 2 hours. After 12 hours I have set the parts and put the phone in to the charger. Immediately I have received the message "Charging paused. Battery temperature is low" message. Any how I keep the phone in the charger and connected it to USB of the PC more than 8 hours and finally it charged. The audio speaker and mic is not working but hear speaker is working after fell in to water.But the battery backup was not there and battery drained in hour. Then I have buy one combatable battery and using it. It is also not long lasting and stand by only 4 hours even without using the phone.

On the other part I try to upgrade to JB 4.2.2. I rooted the phone successfully. First I have taken backup of the OEM ROM and tried with upgrading to JB 4.2.2 with cm-10.1-20130411-EXPERIMENTAL-d2att-M3. It's failed. Then I tried with aokp_d2att_jb-mr1_build-6. It's installed and working fine. But it's not JB4.2.2. Then I searched for compatible another ROM and fine Hyperdrive RLS13 Universal S3. I have reflashed with procedure and installed Hyperdrive RLS13 Universal S3. It's working fine but "google play store" is not working. Then I tried with another ROM CARBON-JB-v1.7-d2att. It is also working fine but not JB 4.2.2. In between I have restored the OEM from backup two times. The I found Samsung I9300XXUFME3_I9300OJKFME1_ILO. tried with this is not installed. Then I revert to CARBON-JB-v1.7-d2att. Then I found Liquid-JB-v2.4-OFFICIAL-l900 and installed it. The installation is completed and when I restarted the phone nothing happened and I have waited for 1/2 hour. After that phone is even not powering on. I tried by removing battery and keep the phone idle for hours, insert the USB cable with PC and removed the battery and re inserted it. Nothing happened. No power indicator light is shown and I removed the battery and inserted the USB with connected PC. While inserting the USB cable, the power indicator is just flashing. But the phone is either not charging nor power on. Please help me to get ride of this problem.

Flash the any working firmware
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshua.justice:
I figured flashing it would make more of the 16 GB available but it didnt. I wiped everything and all the bloatware is gone. Why does it still show less than 2 GB?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] flipq88:
Use the app diskusage to see what is taking up all that space

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshua.justice:
Any idea why the s 4 seems to allocate space and not use it??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: specific

You need to be a lot more specific as to what you did, which rom are you using now

and which rom you used before you noticed this storage issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] flipq88:
I don't what you went into, but this is what you should look at

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshua.justice:
I was using the stock Rom and it said 1.2 gb free of internal storage, I flashed the cyanogenmod mod nightly and wiped everything and it still shows 1.17 gb free.

As you can see nothing is using the memory.

I'm confused as to whether the 9 gb of available memory is a permanent thing, I thought it was a thing from the stock Rom with the bloatware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshua.justice:
I deleted a clockwork mod folder and it cleared 7gb.

I'm not sure why it took up that much space. But I'm still wondering why it only gives 9gb and not 16 on cyanogenmod
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: free space

I know exactly what took up all that space, it was your many backups of your rom which you made in Rom Manager or in

CWM recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshua.justice:
I made one backup. I'm not sure that one backup should take up that amount of memory.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] phantasybm:
This is the same question I was asking... I don't think you can access the 9 gigs of space that Samsung uses. It seems like a separate partition unless I'm wrong.... And I hope I am.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
Samsung's partition which is used for the rom is shared by the user memory.

You can access all of the phone including the rom partition once your phone is

rooted and you install a root capable file manager like root explorer.

There are many different ones at the play store to choose from.

But I think Root Explorer is by far the best and easiest to use.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshua.justice:
Since you seem to know everything where does the other 7 gb go?

I don't think cyanogenmod is the same size as the stock Rom with the bloatware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Charlie Brown:
Haha what a wise @ss! People are chiming in trying to help you understand your phone's memory partition.

Someone already told you... your CWM back ups took up the space. The rest if for you to find out. If your device is rooted you can free up space.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshua.justice:
Obviously you're the wise ass because you couldn't figure out that I've fixed that issue.

I'm wondering about the 7 gb that works make my phone the 16 GBP as advertised. Not what's in my picture in my previous post.

Thanks though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: different roms

CM10.x rom is a lot smaller than the stock rom. They are between 300MB to 400MB including GAPPS.

Stock roms are at least 1.6BGB and custom roms can range from 900MB to 1.2GB.

If you have root access which I don't know if you do, use a file manager like root explorer

and navigate to "/" which is the ROOT directory of the phone.

There you will see a 4-5 screenfulls of of folders and a lot of files in the / root directory

Most of those folders and files are various different parts of the rom on the root of the phone.

Some of the folders are simply shortcuts and virtual locations to the /sdcard and external sdcard.

To be able see all those protected root locations with the folders and files the phone must be rooted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Toleraen:
See the other thread you're already posting in about this. I've answered you there.

Edit: to further clarify, loading a different ROM doesn't change the partitions (unless noted). You'll still have the same partition size for apps on one ROM as you will another. Debloating won't shift the 'free' space from one partition to another.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BlackGURU:
First off the phone doesn't really have 16 GB storage, regardless of all the bloatware Samsung has, the phone has no more than 12 GB internal storage, and 2+ gigs is taken by the system partition. The only way to reclaim that would be if someone made a tool to re-partition the system size like they did for the HTC HD2 but I doubt it's going to be a easy task. So until then, even installing Cyanogenmod doesn't reclaim the space at all.

I have noticed that my gps seems to be really slow, navigation takes 4 minutes to find route. Gasbuddy thinks im in lake Elsinore. Fb cant send msgs with location. Any help. I have reflashed stock backup and nothing. Running x14 saber 23
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:
What rom are you running? Also you can try faster fix from the play store..

I am using jedi x14 with saber kernel 23 I tried the faster fix already. It did change my gps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] quikshifter:
Dreading the software update notifications I messed with the phone and deleted the softwareupdate.apk which did fix my notifications. I am having horrible 3g speeds at work (150-200kb) and now I want to try to update my PRL which hopes of this being the solution.

Can someone post the apk file that I can put back on my phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] patrao_n:
Pull it from your rom zip which you should still have on your sd card. Push it to system
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] quikshifter:
I am on the original ROM just rooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mr pnut:
Are you sure its called softwareupdate.apk or fwupdate.apk just wanna make sure.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] quikshifter:
Ok thanks. It was FWupgrade.. I had that renamed as .bak, fixed that and rememberd that i had to defrost and I am all set.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Pacman1969:
I have a Korean Lg Optimus G Pro F240S

Like all Korean phones it has an 80 character limit with SMS.

I rooted my phone and am wondering if anyone has an easy way to remove this limit?

Any help will be really appreciated
[LG Optimus G Pro] mrfeuss:
I would try to extract the MMS.apk from the system dump from the US G Pro and swap them out in /system/apps. Just be sure to keep the old one, just in case something doesn't play nicely. Change the file name of the stock one to Mms.bak and then paste in the new one and set permissions at RW, R, R. After a reboot you *should* be good to go.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Pacman1969:
Many thanks for your quick reply.

Many thanks for your quick reply. I have no idea how to do that. Is there anywhere I can get a step for step description on how to do this?
[LG Optimus G Pro] mrfeuss:
Download the factory image from here and then unzip using something like 7-zip. Navigate through to /system /app and copy Mms.apk to your memory card. Then on your phone using a Root level file explorer (I like Root Browser) copy the .apk that you put on your memory card and copy that. Then navigate to /system /app and long press on Mms.apk to rename it to Mms.bak. Then paste in the .apk that you copied. Then long press on that file, select Permissions, and check off the following boxes Owner: Read and Write, Group: Read, Others: Read. Then after a reboot you should be good to go.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Pacman1969:
Thanks again for this. Will try over the weekend.

Two quick questions:

1. Would it be easier to flash the english ROM?

2. On the status bar rather than displaying my network provider (Vidafone Ireland) it displays a white globe. I know it can display the network provider. How can I get that done?

Many thanks for your help again
[LG Optimus G Pro] Pacman1969:
I must be the biggest idiot in town. When I download the ffactory image and try to unzip it tells me that it is too big for microsoft word to open so I can't even get past the first hurdle
[LG Optimus G Pro] nthknd:
Too funny
[LG Optimus G Pro] Billy Madison:
It's a binary file, not txt. You'd better try Excel with it
[LG Optimus G Pro] mrfeuss:
I'm not super familiar with 7-Zip, but there may be a way to navigate through the Factory Image that you downloaded without unzipping it. If that's the case you can just find your way to /system /app and extract just the MMS.apk.
[LG Optimus G Pro] intruderbr:
How I can Do this ?

Thanks
[LG Optimus G Pro] Teardrop45:
> SMS Limit

1. Find the file featureset.xml in system/etc and open in text editor (Need root access then use root explorer for example)

2. Change the following values

Find <item name="KREncodingScheme">true</item> change to <item name="KREncodingScheme">false</item>

Find <item name="max_user_data_bytes_ex">80</item> change to <item name="max_user_data_bytes_ex">160</item>

3. Save and close then reboot..
[LG Optimus G Pro] smaybe:
Works !

We do not have really 160characters but it's better

thank you
[LG Optimus G Pro] st1114g:
Q

Never mind...stupid question..never read the whole thing :eek:
[LG Optimus G Pro] foryou2keep:
That does not fix it. It only is limited to 160.
[LG Optimus G Pro] minnaing:
My G pro is AME version E988 my SMS have 160 character +attachment+ Smiley ,If u want to use it i can upload my MMS.apk for u.;)
[LG Optimus G Pro] smjunaid:
i installed handcent sms on my f240L and its limit increased automatically. i can send sms up to like 250 chars
[LG Optimus G Pro] thilina01:
A Fix

install GO SMS Pro,

go to GO SMS Pro settings --> Advanced --> Send&Receive Settings --> scroll down --> select Split large messages check box --> scroll down --> Select Enable customized SMSC --> Customized SMSC number --> enter your service providers SMSC number.

you can find SMSC numbers for operators in the following link

http://www.ozeki.hu/index.phtml?ow_page_number=458
[LG Optimus G Pro] foryou2keep:
I got the solution. Was able to fix it thinering on each line. Now sms can send more than 160 characters per page.
[LG Optimus G Pro] blacksgdhawk:
can we plz also know the fix you found and applied?
[LG Optimus G Pro] blacksgdhawk:
For everyone facing the sms problem with character length limitation to "80" or failing to send a concatenated sms message which converts to mms automatically do the following steps

1. Find the file featureset.xml in system/etc and open in text editor (Need root access then use root explorer for example)

2. Change the following values

Find <item name="KREncodingScheme">true</item> change to <item name="KREncodingScheme">false</item>

Find <item name="max_user_data_bytes_ex">80</item> change to <item name="max_user_data_bytes_ex">160</item>

Find <item name="limit_user_data_septets">160</item> change to <item name="limit_user_data_septets">1384</item>

3. Save and close then reboot

now you need to install GO SMS Pro Premium v5.33 (find and download this app in the attachment) with this app all your sms worries will be over and your F240 models start behaving like any other sms sending smart cell.

Hi All

Could someone please HELP,, (hope I am on the right Forum !!)

Have a XDA11 With Tom-Tom,, all works fine, not problems, However would like to run Memory Map as well,,

Have tom tom on the standard sd card, and m-Map on another 1G card,

M-map all loaded and working & can swap between system OK, but can not get a GPS input signal,,, Have tried Menu-GPS-Setup, but only get faults, such as Time out, or can not open port,,

Any one with any ideas, would be greatly appreciated

Regards
[General Topics] edsub:
Did you check the memory map support forum:

http://www.memory-map.co.uk/board/index.php?showtopic=221

BTW: Thanks for naming this s/w here. Could you post some experience (maybe as compared to OziExplorer which does not function on a Himalaya (XDA2/MDAII) with BT GPS because of the MS Bt Stack)
[General Topics] NeilM:
Your best bet would be to post a question in Pocket GPS World

There are still issues with the TomTom GPS driver locking out other mapping apps- I think PGPS has a thread on this
[General Topics] edsub:
afaik the TomTom GPS version 3.03 and above dont claim the GPS exclusively.

Pocket GPS World is a very good site with lots of answers (and some unanswered questions, so no guarantee)

Hi guys I'm having trouble finding a Sony Xperia P Cellcom rom,doesn't matter which version (froyo,gingerbread,ics..)

as long as its cellcom rom.

can't find it anywhere on the net,

Help is much appreciated!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WizaJ:
Is Cellcom a mobile provider?

Might I ask why you need their ROM specifically?

I'm looking around for you now.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] beniferg:
Yes Cellcom is a mobile provider.

And I am looking for this rom since Cellcom are not willing to acknowledge this device since I updated it to official stock JB rom,

and I have inssurance on this phone,so in order to fix my problem I have to bring it to them with the Cellcom rom.

Thank you very much for you efforts - I coulden't find anything.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WizaJ:
I've have searched extensively and am also not able to find any Cellcom firmware. I am starting to think they do not make it publicly available.

Sorry I could not be of any assistance, and I hope you will resolve the problem with the phone.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] doctor_droid:
I guess u should root

Change ur si number to the original one

And try reparing via pcc...

M nt sure it will work or not

It won't,but thanks for the try.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] beniferg:
Thank you anyways for you effort time and help! much appreciated.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] beniferg:
Problem solved!

Guys I have managed to find this rom I needed,

many thanks to all those who tried to help !

And if there's anybody who gets stuck in the same predicament as I did - don't hesitate just PM me and I'll send you the rom.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WizaJ:
I'm happy you managed to get it. Wouldn't it be easier to just post the link in case you are offline when someone needs it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pezley:
Good afternoon,

I am trying to install a piece of software on a galaxy tab. It seems the wifi only version still has a registry input in it referencing the sim slot. The enterprise software we are trying to install sees this, it obviously has no sim card ( being wifi only ) and then fails to connect. On other android tablets which don't have the 3G module, it works fine.

I'm wondering if there's any way at an OS level to remove all references to a 3G module ?

Ideally with out rooting as these will be used across business, it's not a preferable solution but certainly an option if the only way.

thank you
[Motorola Droid 4] norcalnub:
I recently encountered a problem with my Droid 4 phone XT894 and got it stuck in AP fastboot. I left it on and hooked up to my computer trying to figure everything out but I ended up killing the battery. Well if you don't know it doesn't charge So with no way to flash my phone to get it working again to charge it and no way to do a battery swap, I Macgyver'd that mofo. I took a fully charged moto droid (the original) battery and used some breadboard pins then I opened the back of my Droid 4 and removed the battery sticker and the little rubber protector and connected the Droid battery to my droid 4 battery and flashed that mofo. It wasn't pretty but it worked in a pinch. I didn't have to ruin anything or buy anything extra.

I hope this helps some of you out there. Remember to observe polarity and you should use a multimeter to check just in case.

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] thals1992:
I really don't know what we can do with the ffu yet. I can get the phone into the qualcomm msm mode and install the winusb driver, but a hardware developer will need to create an application to interface to it, or someone leak an app that does that from the OEMs. I would like to see whats in it though, I might be able to search for strings relating to the hidden Tier3 app.

Not yet. Nokia hasn't updated their Access Point app yet to support the 928. It will install, but the internet and mms settings are still fixed on Verizon. I also noticed that there isn't a lib version number underneath it either, but there is one for the app version and database version; it won't be too long before it will change though.
