Slick. Att hox next? Or will Sprint leapfrog again
[HTC Droid DNA] Poocho93:
Hey guys, a few questions...

1. When I flashed the rom using the appropriate method (format system / factory reset / wipe davlik) my previous SD card data "disappears" I can't see it in astro but I do through boot loader.. What is going on? How can I access that data?

2. When I tried to install black mart, an apk file it doesn't let me press the install button. I do have the unknown source option checked. How can I fix that??

3. I restored my backup, stock rom, and everything works fine for now... Is this safe?? Can I just restore PAC-man and continue using it??
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
1. Its in /data/media, this is covered numerous times, its a 4.2 change. Copy your files from /data/media to /0.

2. I won't help with warez. Aside from that is it the only app this happens with?

3. Restore wipes before restoring, so its mostly fine, but I wouldn't flash PAC over a sense rom since they are all 4.1.
[HTC Droid DNA] Poocho93:
As for not being able to install an apk... I think it's the installer that has the issue... I tried to install tapatalk and it's the same issue...
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
So you can't side load any apps?
[HTC Droid DNA] Poocho93:
Had to Google side loading... So yes that is the issue..
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Have you tried any non pay valid apk files? Like even in TiBu or something? It can be anything from the play store that is free, just wondering if its a paid app issue or any app.
[HTC Droid DNA] Poocho93:
I've got to be doing something wrong I can't see my previous SD card data
[HTC Droid DNA] vroomr:
Turn off halo :)
[HTC Droid DNA] Poocho93:
Thanks..that helped with the install issue. Now how do I see my older SD card data?
[HTC Droid DNA] vroomr:
Where on your sdcard is/was it?
[HTC Droid DNA] Poocho93:
I unfortunately don't know.. I came from a stock DNA. Again I can see everything from the bootloader, but not through astro...
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Did you look in /data/media already?

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - Carbon
[HTC Droid DNA] Poocho93:
Yea it's empty
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Then you may have seen that bug that wipes the SD card, not sure if its recovery or ROM related, which recovery are you using?

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - Carbon
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
/data/media from root / like where /system is, can't tell if that's where you are as I don't use astro.

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - Carbon
[HTC Droid DNA] Poocho93:
I figured it out..

1. The files are hidden.

2. Astro didn't see the files, even when I selected show hidden files.

I used a different app, perfectly....

Thanks again.
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
This is the second time I've seen astro fail to see those files, they really need to update. I use solid and it sees all that stuff first e right off the bat, no settings needed. Its not free, though, so I try not to suggest it as it has a trial period last I checked. Es file manager should also work well.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Hi2gav:
Hi All,

Firstly allow me to commend everyone who has helped bring the wm2003se upgrade to the Himilaya device series. As usual i was reluctant to risk my device as it is a true workhorse, but the temptation proved too strong and i went for the upgrade anyway. So far it seems to be working ok except for two things. The first is the voicemail icon that appears in the taskbar at the top of the screen. it is constantly beeping and informing me that i have a voicemail, however when i call my voicemail - nada! no messages. Hang up and get informed of a new message, one that my phone has apparently made up! The second thing is the restore feautre in activesync. After the upgrade i tried to restore a backup on my work pc, i was denied due to "backup is for an older type of device" or summit like that. Once home i tried the same proceedure on my pc there and guess what? it worked first time, only after soft resetting it only restore some items (like my docs folder) but not others like settings, progs etc. Another weird thing is that the contact harwdare button became disabled with an error message saying no mapping found, went to the buttons menu in settings and there was no option to assign the contact action to the contact button? I have since resolved most of these issues except for the voicemail thing that us really annoying me. If anyone can suggest a fix, please please do!

Cheers all

Gav
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bern612:
So today I go into Verizon with my rooted note. I know some will flame for going in with it being rooted. My Motorola elite Bluetooth wouldn't pair with my phone. Customer service said since your phone it's rooted it voids warranty. I say I understand it the phone not being under warranty but the ear piece. She said yes. I reach into my pocket and pull out another one and nfc pair it. She said why do you have 2 of them. Because the charger port broke on the other one and y'all said I broke it and it wasn't covered. She said well neither are covered anyway since you rooted your phone. I smile and walk out. So I guess I'll be giving Motorola a call. But my question is, is there any place that said accessories are not covered if your phone is rooted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NXLTrauma25:
Garbage. I'm an attorney and trust me if there was a policy that said that, you would have heard a courtroom outcry for it.

Dealerships say the same carp about cars with work done. Unless they can prove the problem was caused by the root then no.

Dumb kiddie working for Verizon is dumb.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milimbar:
Your Bluetooth accessory is still covered by the warranty. Just walk back into the exact same store with the Bluetooth and have him try to pair it with his phone. If it works... well then it is your phone :( if not its covered and the problem has nothing to do with root....

Good luck, but defiantly try getting a same day replacement at a store rather than waiting on shipping from Motorola.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bern612:
I showed her that my other one would pair. And I did suggest that she tried to pair it with on of their phones. She said how do i know that you rooting your phone didn't mess the Bluetooth up. I asked her how could it. But she had no answer. I've rooted my phone's since... I'm trying to remember my first custom Rom I think it was on the audiovox 6600. And have never heard of phone messing up accessories. Well probably go to another store tomorrow and see if she put notes on the account
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
The rooting thing is complete and utter horse ****, being rooted does NOT void your warranty. Adam Outlet did a piece on that last year and explained how that is just their excuse that they get away with because people don't know any better.

It was on the front page, it was a video, and I encourage you all to look it up and watch it for yourselves.

---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------

She's not dumb, that's the line they feed people to keep from having to replace faulty equipment, it's very very smart.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rbowen87:
We had a similar issue at our local VZW, with three different items, my BT (which didn't pair from day 1), my Smart Dock (connector died 4 days into owning) and the best one yet my Otterbox which the belt clip broke on.

I let the Dock and BT go because I didn't really want to have that debate or argument but a belt clip on my case? I went off to the point that I was asked to leave the store at which point I refused to leave until someone showed me that policy and until I spoke with the DM. After much looking at no point was anyone in that store able to find or provide anything that supported those claims and when the DM finally arrived (45 minute drive), he was beyond livid and replaced all three items on the spot.

His response to his associate "When you tried to pair it to one of our devices and it didn't work, that should have been a sign to switch it considering had he not brought his phone with him you would have had no clue it was rooted and you would have switched all three items. He just spent over $1000 less than a week ago on the phone and all the accessories he purchased and this is honestly how you treat him?"

He also gave me his number and informed me if I had any future problems of that nature to feel free to contact him or VZW Customer Service, as that is not policy and regardless of your phone's state it holds no bearing on the warranty of accessories.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
That is one damned good DM, the issue is these kids get told by the store super to tell anyone with root privileges no not matter what because its a get out of jail free card. They don't realize that root doesn't void your warranty, that's just what they've heard from misinformed people on the internet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NXLTrauma25:
I disagree as I've never had a single rep tell me that. I think it's them misinterpreting the policy OR some manager or local corporate office messing it up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
I have had everyone I have ever spoken to with VZW tell me that, its a way of them getting out of replacing things pure and simple. Most people will not fight them on it because they don't know any better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1ManWolfePack:
Well, one thing's obvious to me:

You don't know how to handle your business.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bern612:
Wolf assuming your talking to me. I chose not to argue with kids. That was why I ley jet slide. I could of embarrassed Her. I could have pulled a power move on her. Basically Saying something like do you know I have 17 lines, purchased 3 notes and 2 s3 in the last 3 months. All for a 99.00 ear piece. I pick battles. I put this here so others could actually give real insight in case this has happen to others
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1ManWolfePack:
No need to tell them you're rooted. I hear you on the rest, though.

---------- Post added at 10:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 AM ----------

I'm just saying - you marched in there saying you're rooted and asked for a replacement. She said no.

Try again not saying you're rooted - bet she would have swapped it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bern612:
I didn't march in saying it's rooted. When she took my phone and was trying to find the settings toggle. Which she couldn't find. That's when I told her she wouldn't find it because it was rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
You should've just taken it from her and did it yourself. $100 is not chump change and you should go and demand a replacement. Speak to a manager if you have to.

You can do this without causing a scene and it would help other users, who don't know rooting doesn't good the warranty, by correcting her bull****.

flash slim

without reboot flash slim gapps

wipe cache, dalvik (just to be sure)

fix permissions (normally not necessary)

reboot

Boeffela does not support aosp of I am not wrong, here you got your boot loop
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartdetodos:
yes, I do agree with [MENTION=4993750]galaxys3lover[/MENTION]. Automatic scripts are goods, but in this particular case a manual wipe was better.

i am a lill paranoic ... i do "erase everything" before install a new rom, and I try follow the developer instructions (if he say ... full wipe is the recommended ... yeah .. i will do ... if we will have fc or problems or strange things... no regrets ... lol)

[MENTION=726592]chrismast[/MENTION] i was reading the slim rom thread and in instructions:

"From another JB or ICS Rom to SlimBean

Download device_x.x.zip, slim_gapps.zip.

Enter CWM, wipe data, format system ( in mounts and storage)

Flash Device_x.x.zip***, then MUST flash slim_gapps.zip (other files optional)

*** - If the flash is too quick ( < 5 seconds or so), reflash device before flashing common or other zip files."

*** i do really doesn't understand this 5 secs ... some other xda slim user could bring us a enlightment for this question. maybe a slim cm aosp based rom particular issue? i don't know

"Upgrading Slim Bean

Unless we specify otherwise in changelog

Reboot to recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache then just flash your device zip."

and the 4.2.2 Build 6 ChangeLog

"Attention:

Due to the updated TRDS 2.0 code, you HAVE TO download and flash the new gapps packages this time."

maybe a "forget step"? or the problem was related to Boeffla Kernel

"Note: This kernel is only for Samsung based Jelly Bean (Android 4.1.x) roms!!! Do not install it on CM or AOSP based roms!!!

Also do NOT install it on any Samsung 4.2.x based Roms!!! You will just get a boot loop!!!" - a quote of [MENTION=947981]AndiP[/MENTION] - red color is not mine ... lol

Not at all, i will share personal experience.

Few days ago... I flashed SlimRom and everything was OK, however, due to not reading and having an anxiety about having Boeffla, i flashed Boeffla from CWM and i get a Soft Brick but thank i had battery, i could revive via Back up and Restore (NAndroid).

Conclusion: Boeffla do not support AOSP nor AOKP

I find it very amusing while shopping to ask sales representatives questions about phones that they really should know if they consider themselves 'knowledgeable sales representatives', of course I already know the answers but they dont. Easy things ranging from "which version of sense is this?" to"what does this thing have for a processor?". I guess I get a kick out of baffling people in thier own turf.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Thingamajigy:
I was wondering if there were any good apps that could be used to test CPU and GPU stability. I just installed a custom kernel and I want to make sure my clock/voltage tweaks are solid.

The first thing I tried to use was Antutu, but that was no good since it kept bumping my CPU clock above the limit I set, to the max setting allowed by the kernel which would lead to a crash. I have browsed the app store and google a bit, but the stability apps I found were a little old or they haven't been updated recently. Right not im running 3dmark and Vellamo a few times after every clock/voltage adjustment to make sure everything is stable.

Does anyone know of any better tests?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Thingamajigy:
Update

*update

I was able to undervolt by -100mV and make it through 4 passes of 3dmark and 2 of Vellamo. Just to be safe I went back up to -75mV as my setting for use.

I dont think stress testing is necessarily the key for my situation since the phone was having trouble doing simpler tasks and would sometimes get stuck rebooting. I'm thinking some of the lower clock frequencies need a little more juice and the higher ones may be fine at -75mV

Any thoughts?

I found (to)cheap Samsung S4 so I need info how to recognize is it original or good fake ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chickentuna:
It has the samsung air gestures, smart stay and the likes. That's something that can't be copied easily.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chickentuna:
Sorry, that's exactly what I meant on my post. The fakes are easily spotted even though they also run android. They have inferior display and chipset.

My suggestion is to install cpu-z on the suspected fake and check what the chipset is.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jason2k13:
use benchmark apps like antutu, you will know if its fake or not if the score is too low.

Also check out the packaging and compare it to the original.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravenstears:
I can view what chipset I have on my phone but antutu can't recognize my device
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jason2k13:

I flashed 2 different roms, and the Wifi won't turn on. So is there any instructions on how to put this (AT&T) back to Stock so I can send it in?
[HTC One X+] ace_viknesh:
Try flashing the stock kernel. It might be a kernel issue. Otherwise google search the RUU for the AT&T HOX+ or find it in one of the forums posts. Hope this helped. If still unable to do so, do a post quote and will get back to you. :D

I have succeeded in restoring it to stock. It's a little more complicated than it was a year ago. But all is fine, wifi works, and battery last a lot longer. Thanks for everyone's help. The seller I bought it from had rooted it and removed what he thought was bloatware. I think he may have removed something he shouldn't have, and it would burn the battery to dead in 5 hours....

It is not something that affects only the launcher, it also works inside apps, with emergent menus, etc.
