Another gigantic OP that I couldn't be bothered to read. You may have done this already, but I wouldn't know because I'm not going to fully read that big post, lol. Remove all data from the card and then format the thing. Replace data and try again.

Don't use that "testdisk" program/site. Flash cards/SSDs only have so many reads/writes before they die off. Defragging or performing read/write tests on flash media is not good for the longevity of the medium.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghadkali:
thanks for Your " time " lol

the data is not readable, i can only read the card With a card Reader plugged into the usb port.

Thank for Your info about the program, will remember that.

Hi Community,

Everytime i install a firewall i set it first to whitelist mode.

So absolutly no app is able to connect to the internet, excepting google search?

If i open an internet browser (no matter which one) and want to open for example Xda-developers.com it doesnt work. As it should, because the firewall is blocking the browser. So far so good.

Now the problem is that no matter what brower i use google.com can always be opened. And i can search with google as there would be no rule. I can search for pictures, videos etc, but if i click e.g. a picture i cant open them. Because here the firewall is blocking the browser again.

I disabled, freezed the app -Google Search- but that doesnt work. No matter what i try, google seem to be above all.

So how the hell does google gets his rights from to -ignore- those firewall rules and get internet access through every other third party app?

I've got a 240x320 JPG image on my Storage Card that I want to make a background on O2 today. I know I can go to Album and pick the file and set it as a background but it doesn't appear 'full screen' as a background and has a white boarder all around it.

I tried increasing the image size to 600x800 as a test and it does the same. How can I get the image to fully fit the background?

Also, if there any way to change the text colours that appear in the menu drop-downs, etc.?

Finally, what's a good FREE way to be able to create a .TSK file?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] whytechapel_x:
Do you guys know if they have tethering? Also, do themes and all that work with this phone too? Or just the ROMS granted that I install a T-mobile kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DxCx:
Hi,

I can confirm that with Omega rom teathering worked for me..

but you will lose some T-Mobile features.. (Wifi calling for sure, donno what else)

what i did is:

1. Flash stock T-Mobile

2. Flash CF-AutoRoot

3. Flash TWRP Recovery

4. Boot the phone and copy Tmboile's kernel + Omega rom to internal sdcard

5. boot into recovery

6. Wiped to factory reset + wiped cache

7. flashed Omega

8. flashed kernel

9. reboot

worked great for me + LTE (Where i had LTE signal)

Edit:

I Had Tmobile's Unlimited pack with Unlimited LTE and -No- tethering.. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] whytechapel_x:
Yeah tethering works great! God these international roms kick ass.

Although one problem I have is that when I open the camera it says that it's updating the firmware and it just sits there in it closes and I open it again and it still says that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DxCx:
yes i've seen this as well.. but i'm able to take pictures so..

probably it will be fixed soon ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] whytechapel_x:
It went away by flashing Ktoonez kernel!! Although i'm still wondering why it says processing after every shot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] whytechapel_x:
Auto Night Detection was enabled which is why it would process every picture!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazaro17:
Just flashed back to a tmo rom from international. You definitely lose wifi calling and from what I've seen NFC payment is disabled in most deodexed roms due to some issues.

You gain native tethering. Dialer and a few other things are dark color which is nice. And you also gain call recording.

I'm just going to stick it out on a tmo rom for time being and can tether easily with wifi tether app and working NFC payment. I don't use call recording.
[LG Optimus G Pro] mburt27:
I have not been able to get mail pushed in almost 3 weeks. I always have to manually retrieve/refresh. I have tried using the native email and the gmail app but neither have any push option. I have sync on (both inside the email options and inside the Accounts Sync), power saver is OFF.

Has anyone else been able to consistantly have their yahoo and gmail email accounts pushed to this phone?
[LG Optimus G Pro] xenx:
I use K-9 and would recommend trying that for your email. I went ahead and tested with my Gmail account and personal account. The default email app didn't push my personal account or my gmail account. I turned on sync for Gmail and after a couple minutes syncing, I then sent a test message on computer and received notification within seconds on phone.
[LG Optimus G Pro] mburt27:
I installed aqua mail last night and so far push is working like it should. Thanks for responding.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] wsoxfan1214:
So. My 4G data (Sprint, S4. Rooted, but stock ROM and such) stopped working. Updated PRL and Profile. It works for a minute and stops. Restore backup. It works then stops after 5 mins. Update prl and profile in the Sprint app, it works and then stops 1 minute later.

Did a factory reset (still rooted) and it worked for a while. Came home, connected to wifi. Decide to try it now and it's out.

I also had the hotspot mod installed. Used it a bit last night.

Could it be the hotspot mod or root? Or an app issue?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Burtonrider:
Oh good, I'm not the only one! Happened to me today as well, exact same setup (rooted, stock ROM, hotspot mod). I also factory reset and got it working again, but mine is still connecting, it's just slow as ****.

If you find a reason/solution elsewhere, please LMK.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] wsoxfan1214:
If it matters, I am now showing as Custom in status and in download mode.

To above, are you as well?

I unrooted. Going to factory reset now. Is there any way to get back to stock recovery?

Edit: Also, to above: do you have TWRP installed as well?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] nicotheandroidguy:
To get back to stock recovery flash the recovery.IMG from the development forum with Odin. What stock firmware are you on MDC or MDL?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] wsoxfan1214:
MDL. Updated in the Sprint store at first. I can't find the file for MDL. I assume I would place it in... PDA? Which slot in odin?

So now that I'm unrooted, I would flash that first? Is there a stock MDL to flash?

In other words, on MDL, can I just use the one click MDC package after unrooting to go back to that? It appears that it restores stock recovery too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] nicotheandroidguy:
Here is a link to stock recovery http://d-h.st/Ube flash in Odin use the pda option auto reboot and f reset time. Then boot in to recovery by powering off and holding power and volume up until you see recovery booting in the left corner then let go. Then do a factory reset and cache wipe. If all else fails once booted up in android dial ##72786# it will reactivate your phone it fixed some of my connectivity issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] wsoxfan1214:
And how do I wipe the cache in stock recovery?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] nicotheandroidguy:
You will still be on mdl and to reroot use the cf auto root method found here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2291827

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------

In recovery use volume keys to move up and down make sure wipe cache is highlighted then press power to start the process.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] wsoxfan1214:
Okay, will try and report back. Will a factory reset likely reverse what the hotspot mod did or no?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] nicotheandroidguy:
Yes it will. If you don't want to just dial ##72786# and it will reactivate your phone that could fix it try that first if that fails do the factory reset and dial that again to reactivate it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] wsoxfan1214:
Odin doesn't give me an option to flash the recovery, as it's an .img file. How do I fix this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] nicotheandroidguy:
What recovery do you currently have?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] wsoxfan1214:
TWRP
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] nicotheandroidguy:
Then you don't need stock recovery just do a factory reset cache wipe and then once it boots dial ##72786# to reactivate the phone again after the setup process. Odin doesn't flash. Img files sorry for the confussion.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] wsoxfan1214:
Alright, I'll do this and then report back tomorrow as to whether 4G is working.

Both me and the other guy in this topic on the same day and same conditions though? Seems somewhat odd.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] eskomo:
Same areas? Maybe towers are going through maintenance. I know my tower near my house did. I was at dinner in a high 4g signal area and I only had1 bar of 3g. Very unusual for this area. As I left the restaurant it took forever to update to more bars and wouldn't connect to 4g for a few miles. Same issue? Idk. I'm in Michigan. I do know towers are still under testing phase here. Maybe for you guys too? Just because you have 4g doesn't mean the tower is official and out of test phase.

Sent from my SGS4. Go Blue!! Buck the Fuc keyes!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] nicotheandroidguy:
The issue is not root or the hotspot mod it could be a tower so call sprint about that and then reactivate again by dialing #72786# and just double check that your phone is in lte CDMA mode.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kday88:
Hey all,

I recently bought a Nexus 4 to use on Walmart Family Mobile (MVNO of T-Mobile), and I can't seem to get MMS working. I've used their official MMS settings (unlinkable since I'm new -- but on myfamilymobile's website) with no luck. I've tried their customer service several times and got the runaround every single time ("there's nothing we can do", "go talk to LG").

My previous phone was an Exhibit II locked to T-Mobile. I never bothered unlocking because calling and SMS worked just fine with WFM being an MVNO, but I just accepted I wouldn't have MMS because the phone was technically locked to a different carrier. With the Nexus 4 being truly unlocked, I sort of expected it to work.

Has anyone had any luck with WFM as far as MMS goes? Could it be a problem with my SIM?

Thanks!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Hitman3984:
I feel like my phone is REALLY slowing down, almost at the hardware level.

Pressing the power button the reaction time to turn the screen on varies, sometimes right away, sometimes a full second later.

When I wiped my cache and dalvik from recovery it took a good 30 seconds(its normally a 5 second wipe) and while backing up can take some time, it felt like it took 3 times as long.

Is there a hardware issue with the phone or could it possibly be a kernel problem?

Fully Unlocked running Beants 17 moving to 18 to see if it helps..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rbowen87:
Mine was acting like that for the past few days, I had Beans 17 with Perseus. It even got to the point that I posted a thread asking for Kernel suggestions, because it was fine with Sabre, so I was thinking it may have been Perseus or my settings since I had tweaked Perseus.

When 18 came out I did a clean install, and this time just for the heck of it I went with Faux. So far I haven't had the sluggish performance and haven't regretted my choice. Downside is I have no idea what was causing it since I did a clean install. It may have been the kernel, the rom, any number of settings, or any number of apps.

Sorry not the most helpful in the world, but at least it should give you a ray of hope.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Hitman3984:
Did a clean install to 18 and used beans kernel and still having the issues
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Then try a different kernel like Faux, Sabre, or any of the other TW kernels.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] torr310:
Try to wipe cache, dalvik-cache, data, and system for 3 times.

Factory reset for 2 times.

Then install the ROM again.

Edit:

Also verify the MD5 to make sure you have a good download of the ROM.

Ill have to give it a shot. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] themichael:
a second or two delay for the screen to turn on is normal with tw roms. the cpuhas to come out of sleep and there is an average of about 1.7 sec delays.

Bingo! Especially if you have S-voice activated. I don't know if it comes activated automatically on Beans on not though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Hitman3984:
No s voice and the delay is noticeable enough that it's not normal from a week ago. And like I said it's effecting other things, backup speeds etc
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
If I were you I would try booting into recovery and wiping the cache, if that doesn't fix it I would suggest trying some of the excellent kernels we have. That's your best bet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jpatt:
Try turning off window animation scale, transition animation scale, animator duration scale. It is located in settings under developer options. Sped up my phone.

i605 rooted, stock rom and pimped out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pharmnatr:
I've had the same slowness problem. I dont think it has to do with the kernel. I am using Perseus and after installing 17 then 18 the slowness happened after using it for a while. I think it has to do with a certain app I dl'd although I havent had the time to start fresh and see which app is causing the delay.
