[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hfcamilo:
I did the same mistake :silly:

Sony Companion won't recognize the device.

In order to correct that, you have to:

- Download the .ftf file for the current FW version of your device (in my case Xperia SP 12.1.A.0.266);

- enter flashmode

- flash the downloaded .ftf

- power on and enjoy it

Happy Eastern everyone!

I followed these steps but ended in a bootloop!!

please help
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] macaumen:
I did some research and I extracted SamsungChineseIME.apk and libjni_secime.so to my M919.

Most of the function works. However, whenever I type any number, or long-press the "setting" button to bring up more option, the keyboard will just die.

Do I need extra .apk or .so to make it works? Thanks!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] omegajester:
Use another keyboard, like Swiftkey

Does it have ChangJie chinese input?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Disturbed_One:
The other day I noticed my S3 was not charging correctly.

When I plugged it in it would make all the correct noises and signs, but the battery was dropping.

Changed out the charger, still the same thing.

Changed out the cable...still no go.

Finally I turned it off, removed the cover and battery, placed it back and and it charged just fine when powered down.

Proceed to the next day and it's still doing the same thing.

So once again I power it down, plug it and let it charge.

I get up this morning and notice that it did not charge, no red led or charging screen was active either.

So now I have nothing.

It will not turn on. The only thing it does is show me a red led when I plug it in, but goes no further.

Nothing major has been done recently.

I do have a stock rom that's been rooted and flashed onto it via Odin, but I did that months ago when JB came out for TMo.

Any ideas or am I SOL?

I think I'm also out of luck with the warranty as it's rooted, and it once took a drop and hit a corner (the one time I took it out of the case!)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
I would try another battery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Disturbed_One:
That's the plan...but I need to acquire another S3 battery.

I should have access to one in a few hours.

Anyone know if S3 batteries are known for going bad?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
Besides the one that supposedly caused a S3 to catch on fire? No, but you never know.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Disturbed_One:
Okay so luckily my S3 isn't dead or bricked.

However, it will no longer charge batteries.

It reports that it's plugged in and charging, but if anything it's actually discharging quicker.

I swapped out batteries and it turns back on, but will not charge.

Other S3 will charge my battery no issue though, so that's not it.

I have tried 4 different chargers and 5 different cables.

All produce the same result.

I don't know if the S3 is compatible with them, but I've tried two current monitors.

One reports no amperage going into the phone, the other will show a -5mah load when charging.

I cleaned out the bottom connector with some contact cleaner, still no go.

Since the phone will also die while off, I feel it's not an Android issue.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Disturbed_One:
So I flashed the latest 4.1.2 JB with Odin (stock but already rooted via root66 rom)

Still nothing, battery does not charge when plugged in.

When I was booting into download mode, it would keep restarting when it was plugged in.

I had to boot into download mode, then plug in the usb (to my laptop)

This really sucks. I've really had no issues with this phone but this incident is leaving a bad taste in my mouth Samsung. :crying:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Just so you know, when it is plugged in, it will not power on into system, recovery or download mode. That is normal. As for it not charging, All I can guess is either a shorted or broken pin inside the phones usb port. If this is the case, and you dont have insurance for it, you may need to get a spare battery. Ive seen some that come with a desktop charger where you plug the battery into the charger itself.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Disturbed_One:
I just found it odd I could boot up to the point and it would shut back down, so figured it was worth mentioning.

The outer port is not the issue from what I can see.

For now I ended up buying external batteries I have to swap out,

Really sucks having to swap out a couple a day. My next phone has to have a wireless charger at this point.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
You could have gotten a wireless charger for the S3, I had one but ended up selling it because I never really used it.

Sounds like it's the S3 itself. You could order the part online and watch a step by step tutorial on YouTube if you feel confident enough to do it yourself.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsmyjobtoknow:
If you want wireless charging, there a receiver tag on Amazon that allows you to have QI standard wireless charging.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] johnnybalboa:
Hi, I bought a Xperia SP from eBay.

200€ unused. After opening the box the screen was on.

It shows the home screen but no matter which buttons (hardware or screen) I press, nothing happens.

The clock shows always the same time.

Anyways,the battery drain seems to be very low. After two days it is still on.

I read about hardware off, but it doesn't work. Any solution?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Belbol:
WTH?? Are you sure that there is no any sticker on the screen?? Try to press VOL+ and the power bottom for 10 seconds.​
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Deleted member 5133333:
Oh Man REally???

How is this even possible.

:eek:

Return Back The Phone. Get back the Money
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] johnnybalboa:
I tried to pull of the sticker, if it was one. But there is no sticker.

One other thing that is crazy : the screen seems not to be backlit, like other phones.

When the room light is off, the screen is visible, but not lightened like my other phones...

This is weird....I feel like I am beeing fooled...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Belbol:
That's so strange , maybe your phone is fake but i am not sure.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] johnnybalboa:
Okay guys, I am so sorry :) I wanted to keep this joke going, but you guys are really kind and I don't want to misuse it any longer.

This phone indeed is a dummy. After reading only about the damn JellyBean update all the days I thought it would be funny to talk about something else.

Please don't verbal-kill me, it was just a joke and I apologize.

Have a nice evening everybody.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] x_budd:
It's a fake, and everything in your story tells you it's fake : screen on out of the box (still running after 2 DAYS, that's 48h of screen on time), not responsive, not backlit, clock stuck, half the price, bought on eBay :/ open it up, pretty sure you won't even find a battery in there.

I'm wondering if your post is legit, and I'm only answering because if this is real, you must feel quite bad. Get your money back.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Belbol:
I knew that , this is the reason why i told you to remove sticker on screen because normal phone don't show the device hardware on it :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] johnnybalboa:
Yeah I knew it wouldn't take long :)

It's kinda funny knowing even this could surely happen to someone.

So again please forgive me :)

By the way: I got this dummy for my two years old son who must have heard me complaint about this Sony and JellyBean thing and already threw my working Acro S to the ground :)

Can I flash a NON T-Mobile based HTC One ROM on my T-Mobile One? I was thinking about flashing one of the ROMs in the international HTC One forums, like Android Revolution HD. That or one of the international stock ROMs, to get rid of the bloatware. Would this brick my device?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] skinsfanbdh:
yes any international or at&t rom. sprint wont work
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] kevinwind:
Thanks!

Thanks for the quick response! Do you know why you do so without bricking the device? I remember seeing a LOT of warnings on other android phones to never flash a ROM or radio that isn't from your carrier.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] skinsfanbdh:
just radios but roms dont include them. just know that most sense based roms use aroma and it hasnt been optimized for our device so it may freeze in the middle of flashing. you will need to hard reboot and try again. just so you know i own the tmo variant ant i have flashed every rom on the international thread.:highfive:happy flashing

all htc one variant are the same except sprint. most sense based roms on international thread include wifi calling for tmo users also

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] madsatan:
yes it does
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
From what I've read, the ROM flash does not affect the radios, so yes, it should work. You will need to setup the data connection in the settings menu.

Flash Europe KitKat Firmware

Hi , Can i flash the new stock kitkat firmware for international HTC One on my T-Mobile One? I am from Romania and i bought a T-Mobile HTC One , i guess its from US. Its m7_ul model PN07130. It's working with no problems on 2G and 3G network from here, but i want to flash the new firmware to get rid of the bloatware.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smckdwn989:
so i've narrowed the issue down to a wifi security issue. if I open the network it's fine but the second I try and apply security, it'll connect but if i open up gmail or google play it will say "no connection". no idea what the deal is with this. even gave wps a try, it gets an IP address and everything and is recognized by the router... I'm puzzled.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smckdwn989:
so my solution was to create a guest network, 2.4 ghz worked and i tried 5ghz today and it worked without any issue. i then tried my old network, which previously wasn't working and it's fine now. the only thing that changed was i rooted my phone, i don't see that fixing this problem. quite odd but i am glad it's not a router issue since i really like the AC66U a lot.
[General Questions and Answers] cdwscout:
I upgraded to the RC1 of CM10.1 on my GS2 Skyrocket, and somehow lost the stock JB PDF/document viewers. Does anyone have an APK or ZIP of them?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LaTropa64:
Each of these tests is 4G LTE:

I feel lucky if I ever get over 5 megabits. This is my first LTE phone and I don't have another Verizon LTE device to see if it's just my S4 or the network. Should I be calling Verizon to complain?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] OwenTT:
What was the signal strength like at the time of the speed test? Also try changing the test site to another one near you.

The screenshot looks like your on WIFI...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LaTropa64:
I was on WiFi when I took the screenshot but all the test were done on LTE. I usually only have 2 or 3 bars of signal strength. All the tests were done within a 20 mile radius.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] whiskerz:
I don't believe that calling Verizon would make a difference, considering that your down/upload speeds are directly related to your location. Have your speeds always been like this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jvcjbl:
I was in a known great speed/coverage area less than 4 miles from me... couldn't muster speeds faster than 24mpbs. Switched to a server 400 miles away and got 57mbps. Try different servers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] OwenTT:
I would say its your current network conditions and not your phone. Check out the article posted by droid life.

droid-life.com/2013/05/28/americas-carrier-speeds-benchmarked-att-beats-out-verizon-while-sprint-struggles-to-perform/

Note the average speed for Verizon at 9.61 mbps download.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LaTropa64:
They've been like this ever since I got the phone which was only 5 days ago. Usually 2mbps or less with a couple outliers that hit 12+.

I just tried different servers and it didn't make much of a difference.

Is there a way to force this phone to 3G speeds? It's been so long since I tested those on my old phone I don't even remember what I was getting. It seems like they were close to 1mbps though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] geoff5093:
Are those all in the same location? Try going somewhere else.

It would be worthwhile calling, just mention the <1Mbps speeds though, because anything between 5-12Mbps is considered normal.

But does it exist a manual way, without sktools? (insert the icon I want in a system folder...change something...)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Deleted member 1890170:
Be aware the icons must be located in so-called resource DLLs or EXEs, where you pick them off.

Don't know of another tool than SK Tools. But of course there might be others, too. GIYF.

And you can try to edit all registry entries related to file-types and folders; seach for example the registry for all occurring "DefaultIcon\Default" subkeys and replace there the icon's location - note that this makes only sense if registry is hive-based.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RobertR3750:
Since I've seen people post here saying their screen has cracked without dropping their phones, I thought I'd start a poll to get an idea of how common this is percentage wise.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bezerker:
Mine is still more than fine.

Even dropped it once.

No cracks here.

Purchased since release day via website. Had it overnighted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] adventure_of_link:
If you actually go through various threads and search about screens cracked without dropping, you'd get an idea on how high this percentage is... besides, it'd be nearly impossible to get everyone here to vote anyway.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RobertR3750:
It only takes a few seconds to respond. Over time, it should give me an idea.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JoJo2211:
I can imagine how a phone could crack (inner LCD) without ever dropping it or bumping it.

Simply put it in your tight jeans and sit down. There you go. That's what most of you do.

Moral of the story, don't wear tight jeans, because the screen will FLEX and cause the crack.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] adventure_of_link:
Wrong. I haven't worn a pair of jeans since my short stint at trauth dairy back in fall 2006.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pushingpsi:
I feel like I'm missing something. I dropped my phone from my pocket to hardwood floors and it was fine. Then it was dropped from a dining table to a tile floor and it was fine. I was surprised to see no damage done without a case. Hopefully I won't ever drop it again though. I bought this phone since day one BTW
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] relldroid:
My screen didn't crack but my bezel did, I have my replacement one already got it yesterday the T-Mobile rep did me a warranty exchange, I'm still using my normal one until I get a case for the new one. If this is for screen cracks only sorry, but I didn't like how I had the phone for a wk and the bezel cracked out of nowhere.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] M9x3mos:
And T-Mobile replaced it for that?

Typically they consider that physical damage and charge a fee on exchange.

---------- Post added at 02:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ----------

In that case with damage you need to file a claim and pay a deductible then you get one from insurance.

No cracks here

Dropped twice now, no cracks yet. I thank my tech21 case.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hoggles:
I would say that a vast majority of people with cracked screens are doing something that they are not being totally honest about...

Probably putting a lot of pressure on it in tight clothes, bumping it against a hard surface...etc etc.

I don't doubt that some may have bad luck and some sort of rare defect...but it is far from the norm.

These devices don't just spontaneously crack. Mines in my pocket all day.... no screen protector and a very slim case.... 100% perfect still.

You guys with cracked screens simply have to be more careful with your $700 toys.

NO....even more careful.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tmotech88:
I have broken my S4 glass and figured i would repair it since the Glass is about $11 on Amazon. You do need the following

-Plastic Razors

-Regular Razor Blade

-Heat Gun or Blow Dryer

-Infared Thermometer ( Not needed but helps knowing exactly what temperature your glass is)

1. Remove the battery and sim card and sd card from the device

2. Using the heat gun or blow dryer Start heating up the glass to about 190 degrees (i usually keep it at 200 just to make it easier for the glass to seperate from the LOCA GLUE but be careful because direct heat in one are will burn the lcd)

3. Once at desired temperature, using regualar blade, place razor on the upper right corner underneath the glass and in a up-ward direction slowing slide the blade down, once you able to get the top half of an inch off the lcd, use the plastic blades and slowing slide down the right side of the glass and the loca will seperate ( apply more heat if you notice the glass isn't separating as well FYI Try to keep the glass at 180 degrees at all times if possible)

4. Do the Same thing on the other side of the phone untill the glass comes right up( Notice********** YOUR BOTTOM BUTTONS ARE CONNECTED BY ADHESIVE TO THE GLASS, BE CAREFUL WHEN REMOVING THE GLASS AND MAKE SURE YOU USE A PLASTIC BLADE REMOVE THE BACK BUTTON, HOME BUTTON, AND MENU BUTTON FROM THE GLASS BEFORE YOU TAKE THE GLASS OFF COMPLETELY.

5. Once glass is off remove the left over glue with your fingers, its comes right off. and to remove any finger prints and smuges make sure to use rubbing alcohol to clean lcd with a micro cloth.

Now are far as applying the new glass ive done it a few way:

-Create a border with 2mm adhesive around the lcd and around the rim of the device and reapply the glass

or

-Sams as above but also install a screen protector between the glass and lcd/digitizer and then apply the glass. that way it creates a barrier between both the glass and lcd.

or

Same as first way but order some Prokit UV glue LOCA Liquid 50g optical clear adhesive for samsung LCD repair on amazon and apply between the glass and lcd, once in place make sure to push all bubble out and to seal/cure the screen place in sunlight for 60 secs.

Hope that helps alittle. if anybody has any questions let me know

PS: Been doing phone repair for about 5 years now :laugh:
