[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] chadbad:
Hi, first I wanna say I'm new to the community and I'd appreciate help with this issue. I just swapped over to android I rooted my s4 (motochopper/superuser) and I'm currently trying to get the LMT launcher to work. I've tried every input option but nothing, I hold the screen where supposedly the pie is suppose to appear but the home menu pops up. I dont know if the s4 is supported by v1.99 yet but i see threads saying "oh i need help, never mind i got it" or " THIS IS SO AWESOME ON MY S4" without any explanation on how to get it to work. again I am new to this phone so any help would be GREATLY appreciated :D

THANKS
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mudig99:
Through the warranty, Verizon sent me a refurbished phone and I received it today. I activated the new phone and I don't have any of the options that came with the most recent update(multiwindow, etc). I check to see if it's updated and it tells me it is. I've checked everywhere in the settings and there is nothing to enable the multi window function. On the older phone, I had all these options.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DigitalMD:
Verizon aborted and pulled the update due to bugs , It will be released again when its fixed.

Does your firmware show MD3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dark_system:
Verizon pulled the md3 update due to the radio not working well. Verizon says only a small group experiences this, but if they pulled the update Then I think it is a lot more people than they will admit.

I had to go back to the last firmware to keep a decent signal and stop data from dropping all the time. They messed up and are trying to fix it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sultan of Speed:
I encountered a very strange problem. It occurs when I am charging my phone using the AC Charger (not using USB). I saw several weird behaviour.

1. Either the charging LED does not light up and so, the charging does not take place. In such cases, if i leave it plugged in and then reboot the phone, it charges. But on unplugging & re-plugging, it again does not charge.

2. if the charging holds good (with unplugging / re-plugging), then the sound seems to go into vibrate mode. As soon I as unplug is, the sound resumes.

3. If the sound works and if the the charging also works, I also noticed that at times, the orientation (potrait to landscape & vice versa) is stuck at landscape.

I am not sure what's going on. I have the developer edition (64GB) and am right now at 1.29.1540.16.

I tried using my wife's Samsung charger (thinking my charger has gone bad), but similar issues. :(

Anyone, any ideas???

I rooted my phone using casual

found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2297900

This is my first time using TWRP, I am more accustomed to CMW.......but TWRP is fairly straight forward

twice now, I have gone from CM10 back to a stock rom. On both occasions after stock based rom was installed, and all my apps downloaded etc, i would restart the phone and it would stick at the initial splash screen.

When I start up TWRP, it prompts me for a password, which I NEVER set.I can click cancel and seemingly access all the features, but if i try to wipe cache or even restore a back, the process failed.

Through trial and error I have found, that by wiping Data I can eventually get TWRP to behave and restore a CM backup

I eventually may want to go back stock, but don't want to run into this again.

Any advice is appreciated. I am not sure if I should just get CWM or if TWRP is still fine

I love AOSP roms like PA and Cyanogenmod . I hate touchwiz So I was very disappointed when I didn't find any roms AOSP for my galaxy s4 I9500 . I've noticed that the i9505 version is already enjoying the vanilla . So why is this ? I though the international version is the most important version just like the galaxy s3 i9300.

Can someone give more detail on this issue?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HS™:
CM devs said it's a no go for the exynos chip which is in OCTA core i9500. The snapdragon i9505 will have official CM. I'm sure exynos may just as well.

There will be some one able to do in coming days just have to wait
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ANGEL4RIM:
I've saw this article http://androidfannetwork.com/2013/0...laxy-s4-i9500-is-not-getting-custom-rom-love/

According to the article it's very unlikely we gonna see AOSP roms for i9500 because Samsung will never release the octa 5 sources for the developers.

After reading about it I guess I'll sell my s4 i9500 for the i9505 ....
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codeworkx:
we recommend since more than over a year to not buy exynos powered phones if you want to run aosp based roms.

AOSP ROM for i9500

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/5...05-android43-jellybean-googleplay-edition.htm
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
You obviously didn't notice that the article links to files from XDA. This is a ported ROM. The Google Edition is the GT-I9505, not the 9500. Samsung will likely never release properly functioning userspace drivers, etc. for the Exynos, so anything that CM devs do to get things working will be, at best, polishing the turd that Samsung leaves the AOSP community.

Hi, need everybody help, my xperia z totally dead after i try to flash using flashtool..i follow all the step. after i try to connect my phone while pressing the volume down button, nothing happend after i wait for a while. the "wait for flash mode" phone animation didn't even dissapear..then i plug out my phone,after that my phone cannot even boot up.no animation,no vibration,no led and nothing..really appreciate if anybody can help.thanks a lot :crying:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armsar1978:
Try charge your phone,connect your charger and wait for 2 hour,and try again(sorry for my bad english)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syazuk:
ok..thanks for ur suggestion. i will try it but fyi, while i was trying the flash procedure, my batt is above 85%.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekoil:
You are a little vague on the details, but it sounds like your phone is probably in "fastboot-mode", meaning (on the Xperia Z) a black screen and no notification light nor anything else. It will stay in this mode until told to leave it by a computer or holding Power and volume up for like 10 seconds or something. The reason, in that case, that it didn't appear in flashtool could be that you have no fastboot drivers installed on your computer.

Issuing the command "fastboot continue" from a properly setup command prompt will cause it to boot up. Or, as mentioned above, hold power and vol up...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syazuk:
Thanks, i already pressing and holding the power on and volume up button a few times, but sadly nothing happend..i think u might b right, there might b something wrong with the flash driver i installed in my laptop before. i will try to use my friend's laptop (he did a few flash and succeed).

i want to ask something, could the battery dried out even after a couple of hours in this flashboot mode condition?is it possible?

Thanks
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekoil:
I don't really see how that is possible, the phone is not really doing anything in fastboot.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1_enthusiast:
...I'm gonna go out on a limb to say its hard brick man, try to send it in.

When you plug the phone into the computer does it read? if not then theres nothing else you can do.

I'm curious, what did you try to do in flashtool to get to this point?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syazuk:
No, its not connected,nothing happend, not even a usb connected sound..yeah, i"m thinking to send it today..

fast boot mode detected ?

does the computer detect the phone in fast boot or not [vol- + pwr] if yes download the update service from sony website and maybe it wil work .
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukamus:
It's a long shot, but plug it in to power then try a hard reset (hold power and volume up) for 10 seconds. The phone should vibrate 3 times.

I have a vague recollection of my phone doing something similar and it wouldn't do anything until I gave it external power.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] rjhzxc:
Hi

I think I need to upgrade my XDAII ROM to allow for fax software.

I currently have v1.60.00WWE and gather that this can be upgraded to

either v1.72.181 or v1.72.187.

But which one? I do occassionally use the XDAII for emailing via GPRS so does this alone mean I need v1.72.187?

Secondly, during the upgrade will the device settings (connections, modem, network etc) get wiped-out?

Also what's all this about ExtROM? Please tell me that I don't have to spend another evening on this topic and it's either catered for in the upgrade or I don't need to know about it for XDA general use :)

TIA

Hi I've been trying endlessly to completely hide my pie controls, a.k.a. make them invisible. I'm using lmt v1.99 and when I put 3 in the pie colors menu I am still left with the shortcut icons. How can I get rid of these?

On a side note I've also experienced issues with getting my pie up while the keyboard is up. I toggle the keyboard listener and that works but only for a short period of time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noname81:
Just set custom icons like described in lmt's OP and set pngs with 0% alpha.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dankstogin:
Yea that seems like it would be a simple solution. I have looked all over this app I Dont see any place to set custom icons. I remember doing this at some point in time but can't remember. Can't you help me navigate to it.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noname81:
It's written in the OP:

To have custom icons for the pie items create the following folder structure and put your own png images into it: "/sdcard/Android/data/com.android.lmt/files/". The default icons have the size 120x96px but other image sizes should also work (they will be resized). You can define custom icons for every pie item and/or for every action (LMT first tries to load the icon for the pie pos, then the custom icon for the action and will use the default action icon if no other icon is defined). To set custom pie pos icons name the png pie[0-19].png where e.g. “pie0.png” will be the icon for pie item level1, item1, shorpress and “pie1.png” will be the icon for level1, icon1, longpress. To set custom action icons just name the png [actioname].png (see command section in the OP for action names – use lowercase, e.g. back.png). Please restart the TouchService after you changed the icons, so that LMT can recreate the pie.

Anything you can do to have the LED light to keep blinking until you turn on the phone?

The current setting only have the light blink for like 5 minutes. Far too short and too easy to miss.

Even to extend the blinking period to 1 hour is much better.

I had the Galaxy Note 2 and S3 before, and they keep blinking until you switch on the phone.

Been having some strange issues lately with Facebook on my N4. Over wifi it operates like normal, refreshing my feed quickly and normally. But over Straight Talk T-Mobile it refuses to update 95% of the time despite 4 bars of HSPA+ For comparison, Instragram updates immediately and numerous Speedtests show my normal 5-15mb/s.

Tried wiping the cache and uninstalling to no avail. Anyone having issues? This just started about a week ago.

Any chance you've exceeded your Data Cap for StraightTalk, from what I've seen straighttalk isn't exactly the most reliable for data usage.

---------- Post added at 08:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 AM ----------

By the way when you say update, are you talking bout with the screen off, or when you're actually in the app forcing it to update?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icecicle:
For me it's when I'm in the app trying to update it and I know im not outta data so I'm thinking it's the app
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
Course at the same time I never considered Facebook to be all that reliable on the mobile side, so if all the other apps are working fine and it's just facebook that's crapping out it seems to re-enforce my feeling about their app. (I mean it even crashes on iOS every so often).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeeebs:
T-Mobile Straight Talk really doesn't have a data limit. Or I've never gotten close to it. As I said Facebook is the only app that does this. And even then 1 time out of 10 it'll update like normal.

I'm thinking this is some bug with the latest Facebook update. If anyone has any other thoughts for fixes let me know!

use freegee and unlock. it's painless and fast with no reported softbricks to my knowledge

No need to mess with the libs. I was looking for a working Stock camera for CM10.1 and came across this thread. This is the file you will need if on JB and have briefly tested that is is working. Just install it as you would any other app.

Know that I am Unlocked and Rooted, but I don't belive it will matter as the apk is signed and configured to install in the data folder and not as a system app.
