Did you try emergency mode? (volume up + volume down + power button)

If not, turn off your phone and unplug it. Then enter emergency mode as described. Then wait 1-2 minutes to see if your phone is restarting. If not, continue flashing with Software update [KDZ] 1.0.4.4 (KDZ-Flasher).

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmanxhmed:
Advice from current S4 Owners Required!

One month before launch of S4 i sold my One X to buy S4 when it comes in market. When it finally came out, it had known issues of

>Screan Smearing/Pink tint

>Over Heating & Battery Drain

>Lags, Lags and Lags as compared to iPhone specially.

So i skipped S4 at launched and for the first i decided to try iPhone in my life, after 10 or so Android Phones!

NOW I WANT TO ASK FROM CURRENT S4 USERS, IF THIS PHONE IS STABLE ENOUGH AND FREE FROM ABOVE ISSUES FOR ME TO BUY IT NOW, OR SHOULD I WAIT S4 WITH GOOGLE AS I HATE TOUCHWIZ AND STOCK MAY BE LITE WEIGHT OR EVEN WAIT FOR NEXUS 5?

I like smoothness of iPhone, almost all softwares like, Viber, Skype, Facebook or more smooth and beautiful on iPhone than any android i ever used, they usually stutter on Android, my problem with iPhone at times is small screen, at times i feel smaller screen is blessing to carry phone around easily in pockets.

Sharing limitations of iPhone was taken care with Dropbox as i can share songs and videos with any phone via dropbox, at times i think of absolute sharing like in any Android Phone?

I have budget now a days to sale my brand new iPhone and add money and try S4 now? but on net too much confusion, thats why i ask users to give me there say.

Thanks in advance in case if you give me piece of your precious time here and give me your thoughts.

Kind Regards!

I have s4 its good in every aspect except the heating problem

If u play any game which requires a good level of ram than it gets heated up like an oven

U cant even put it on your ear after playing games

Rest all is good:D

Feels like downgrade

I had a Galaxy Note II before S4 I9500, and to be frank, it feels like a downgrade. No amount of tweaking seems to improve the lag, overheats like crazy and battery life, especially when compared to GN II, is much worse. Screen is good, but really, cannot tell the difference with naked eye. The only benefit for me was the size, as GN II's size was starting to get at me.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tclocki:
I don't know if its just me or I'm really a nitpicker. I have an officemate who has a note 2 and I can see the jagged edges of the icons on his screen. I must say the s4 is well worth it for a flagship device. I looked around today with a friend that is looking for his next phone.. we compared my phone to other phones and he's really amazed at my s4. He will get his own s4 next week.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dean-xXx:
I have the i9505 version.

Personally i didn't notice any overheating. Its same as s3 after 1h playing, just the s3 gets warm on bottom and s4 on top. I have nothing like some said here that phone got so hot that couldn't be touched :rolleyes:

I noticed the smearing. Doesn't bother me at all and today was released new update , which is fixing the smearing problem.

LAGS? My s4 stock with all samsung's bloats on, is pretty damn smooth, i just noticed sometimes when closing multiple apps a bit of stutter in animations but nothing major here.

If you are not interested in Note 3 which anyway you will have to wait for, go for the s4. This is my opinion.

I remember when s3 came out with ICS on, was so so laggy and buggy and everything..after updates > jellybean was perfectly smooth.

So i'm sure s4 will get just better and better with every update.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohebq:
If size isn't an issue, then wait for note 3, it will be a supreme device I feel so.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmanxhmed:
Well, it means this heating issue is having by majority of people, which means it is genuine issue and its not just playing games, i guess its by doing anything extensive, like chatting hard or surfing etc? So i should try to relax and may be wait how stock S4 pans out? as strangely i am doing with iPhone too, only smaller screen has advantage and disadvantage, at times i feel, both phones do OK, so better stick to iPhone and think about other things in life :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmanxhmed:
My dear, size is not that much of an issue, being a man here, but S4 had to be supreme of them all device as well if you remember, but cartoonish touchwiz is an issue, specially now as touchwiz often connected to lags. Plus with Note my concern is, Gosh we came out of Stylus Era, putting stylus again in phone, causing it to gain weight and size, you can't take notes on screen better then on actual paper i feel.

Yet i hope Sammy may not let you down again here with your expectation with Note 3, as you are saying, next time they will do a better Job!

My own little hope is Stock Android, but again Nexus 4 may be still have over heating less battery issues!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmanxhmed:
So basically you are saying, Buy it and wait/hopes for updates to fix the problems, like stay on chances, little heating is not that of an issue, but something beyond that is not a pleasant feeling, but as people saying, its uncomfortable at times.

You are breaking news here i guess, that today smearing issue will be rest in peace, though i heard they are solving pink tint issue.

Moral of the story, which is sad, that, some users are having problems more than others, so i am not sure i will fall in which category, as usual!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmanxhmed:
Yes and a lot of people share your thoughts, i wish if Sammy could concentrate on actual use and performance of phone instead of wasting times, on extremely useless gimmicks, and if you are amongst those who think these gimmicks are useful, then don't talk to me.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dean-xXx:
Its not about hopes, because it will happen and updates will iron out all the issues, they always did it properly for their flagships. It was confirmed that smearing is gone on the newest update, so i guess the rest of the problems will be ironed out soon enough. Its true some has more problems than others, but this happens on all phones, not only samsung ones.

Will see what else is fixed in the new update. Looks like some camera improvements are done also.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmanxhmed:
You are painting a rosy picture here, if you are dead sure, all screen issues are solved, and if you hope, over heating issue will be resolved, then kindly let us know here too, for lag i guess stock android will be better, somehow i find touchwiz to be like chinese phones, and prefer stock android more!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dean-xXx:
I don't paint any rosy picture here, i was very upset last year with the s3 and all the SDS problems and all the rest, but samsung ,,fixed'' it with an update and things got better. It was confirmed by other users that flashed the new ROM that the smearing is gone. I'm not sure about the pink tint as this sound more a hardware problem on AMOLED screens, but if they will fix this somehow...even better. I have very very little pink tint at the bottom on the screen ( barely noticeable ) and this doesn't bother me. About the overheating, i guess i'm one of those which doesn;t have this issue, so for me at the moment everything is ok and i'm happy with my phone, even if this wasn't a planned upgrade, was because one of my s3's was stolen and i got the insurance out of it.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] deiphiz:
Hello everyone, I'm new here and new to all the rooting and flashing business.

I just installed CyanogenMod 7.2 on my LG-P999 for the first time. Literally everything was going well except for the fact that I can't receive text messages. When I text people they receive it though, and call still works perfectly. I haven't tried of mobile network works yet because I don't have enough prepaid load :p

I should also mention that I am not using T-Mobile anymore as I am in another country. My SIM is connected to Globe Telecom in the Philippines.

I've tried restoring my backup of the stock ROM, yet that doesn't bring the texts in either, and it disconnects my network when I try running a USSD code. I really can't pinpoint the problem so can anyone please help me out? :crying:

Thank you
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
Go into wireless settings and make sure your APN is set up correctly.

If that doesn't work, maybe you need to flash the baseband fix. I can't link to it from my phone, but do a search on the forums.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1776843 (link to baseband fix)

If you're on the newest baseband (march 2012) then flash the first link.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] deiphiz:
Okay, I flashed that baseband. I also took the initiative and flashed Mazout360's custom kernel, but still no dice :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
Have you checked your apn settings? Do a Google search for what your device and carrier's apn settings should be and make sure they match.

On a side note (not surrle if this will work or not but worth a shot) download Getril from the playstore. Its free. Open it and use it to check to make sure your ril and baseband are matching. When i flashed cm7 my ril and baseband did not match

-custom sig.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] deiphiz:
Yeah, my APN is perfectly fine, double checked online. I think it even got the settings straight from the SIM.

And oh boy. It says "Unkown RIL file found" and that my "RIL and baseband 'might' match". So yeah, I probably should download a new RIL, but do you know which one it is? I'm using the March 2012 baseband with the fix you linked earlier.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TwitchyEye:
This really sounds like your sim card isn't working right. Maybe you could try getting a new one and see if that works. As for ril download getril and have it install v21y.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] deiphiz:
Okay, I took it to the extreme and completely restored my stock ROM, flashed the stock recovery, and unrooted my phone.

And... I get the same problems as with CM7...

I put in my mom's SIM card (same carrier) in my phone too to try it out. Again, same issues. Tried it with my dad's (different carrier). And again, same issues.

A peculiar thing I found is when I type in the USSD code *143# (the code for managing your prepaid account), the calling app crashes and the whole phone disconnects from the network service. At that point there's no way for the radio to work again except for a reboot.

This is getting really weird... :eek:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
I'm out of idea man. The only thing left that I could think of would be to use ROM for recovery using NvFlash. I've seen Mansa_Noob recommend it to people telling them that it basically rebuilds the phone from scratch at the lowest possible software level.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1248644 Here's the link to the thread about ROM for recovery. I have never used it and I know nothing about using KDZ firmware of LG updater tool. All I know about this method really is that it's a last resort for the G2X that makes it "unf**kable" lol

^^ QFT

If a NvFlash doesn't resolve it then I don't know what will.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solaris_irc:
Hi everyone I just got my i9300 and the first thing I did was flash CM10.1, but to my surprise I stumbled upon an issue that it seems no one else has reported.

The problems is that when you are playing music (any player) with headphones that have no mic and an app uses the mic on the phone (voice memos, Google now, Skype, etc) the music audio stops but the player keeps going as if the music keeps playing, then the only way to recover the audio is taking the headphones off and playing something, father that the audio will return as normal.

I tried changing kernels but the issue remained. Also this is not present in stock based ROMs as I tried on Stock 4.1, Pardus HD 4.2 based, MS Team 4.2 based.

Also the issue is not present with the stock headphones. A shame for all the better headphones I have.

Detail steps to reproduce:

1. Make sure your i9300 has a CM10.1 based ROM (if CM10.1 better).

2. Open any music player and put some music.

3. Insert headphones (headphones that have no Microphone).

4. Open the voice recorder app

5. Press the record button.

6. Stop the recording.

7. Go to the music player and verify that the music will stop but the player keeps playing.

8. Take headphones out and in again.

9. Hit play in the music player.

10. Verify that there is no sound.

11. Take headphones out

12. Hit play

13. Verify there is sound

14. Plugin headphones

15. Verify there is sound.

I'll try to upload a video showing the issue.

After a lot of testing it seems that the issue is related to the AOSP ROMs and not the kernel, all AOSP ROMs seem to have this issue but as far as I know there is no fix for this.

I'm no Dev so I can't fixed by my self, well have to wait and see if it gets some more attention from a ROM dev, as far this issue seems to be known but it is considered a minor bug.

[Java for Android App Development] prtbrown:
i'm writing a questionnaire/survey type app and i need some help with the conceptual design.

i want my app to display 10 random questions selected from about 50 questions. Now I have a class:

public class Question {

public String questionText;

public string answerOptions;

}

What I am confused about is how do I get the 10 questions from the 50 questions?

1)Should the 50 questions be in a SQL database which I "grab" data from and populate my survey as required? In this case how do I a bundle the database with the apk?

2) Initialise 50 Question Objects in the MainActivity and just use them as variables?
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
I would save them in a normal text file.

Add the 50 questions to an ArrayList. Create a new Array of int with the size of 10 objects.

Add 10 random numbers to it (in the range of 0 - 49, Java: 50 * Math.round()) and before adding one, check whether it is already in the Array. If it is, get another number.

Then get your 10 questions from the list.
[Java for Android App Development] sak-venom1997:
I would go for shared preferences rathet it ll save the time

And to be more presice i would suggest using javq.util.Random and call the nextRandom(50) method but remember to check if you havent alread recieved the number

Rest you can follow the above method :)
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
Well, if I got him right, he wants to save them and include them into the apk. He asked how to do that. So there is no need for SharedPreferences.

Maybe your method for the random number is better. To be honest, I have never used that method. ;)
[Java for Android App Development] sak-venom1997:
I did mean your method.was wrong or something i was just telling an easier method to implement your method in code :D
[Java for Android App Development] prtbrown:
Even though it is only 50 questions now, that would over time be increased to <1000 questions. For what number will a text file be deemed "inefficient" or difficult to work with?
[Java for Android App Development] sak-venom1997:
It would entirely depend on file size and targeted device for instance a device like mine with.300mb ram and 832Mhz proc would crawl to process a 5 mb file while a nexus 4 will do it like a breeze

I would suggest deviding the questions in sets like quesSet1 ,quesSet2 etc
