It appeared to be established. All was good in device manager, and the box turned blue in ODIN, but I had issues getting the drivers installed. I was on my work PC, rather than at home, and I think some of IT's group policies may have been trying to block the install of the drivers. That's the only variable I can think of that would have affected it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jd1639:
I'm guessing Odin doesn't recognize your device anymore? If it does I'd keep trying to flash it. It it doesn't then jtag is your option

black screen + vibrations - download mode = ?

Hi,

I encountered simillar issue. I was just about to flash Omega ROM v19, as I wanted to reboot into recovery, my phone went black. Now, I can't turn it on or even get into recovery (I've tried pulling battery in and out, pulling the SD card, pretty much everything). The interesting part is that it just happend, I haven't even flashed it yet (I mean I had Omega v16 for couple of weeks, but it started to behave funny, so I decided to upgrade). Anyone can help? (phone is i9505).

Thank you very much in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] awskier08:
Can you hold bottom volume while power on to go to download mode?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Duda258:
No, but it somehow booted upthis morning, but when I tried to reboot into download mode it "died" again and can't do anything. I went to shop and they said, that it might be faulty motherboard (I was just talking to the salesman, as he didnt let me talk to the actual technician, so I dont know if she told him exactly what's wrong with the phone). But as I said, I cannot get into download mode.

EDIT: I managed to get into download mode!!! :D Should I just try to reflash the original rom?

stuck on the Samsung unlocked screen

I545 was an MDK version, using TWRP, had been on HyperDrive 10.2 then tried to flash [ROM]KOT49H【4.4.2】AOSP official Google Edition 【Verizon!】02-08-2014b and now I can't get passed the the Samsung unlocked screen, it just sits there and vibrates every few seconds.

I've used Odin to install SCH-I545_MDK_562219_Recovery.tar.md5 and Odin says PASS! but the phone never boots into recovery or past the Samsung unlocked screen.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jd1639:
Boot into recovery and do a factory reset
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scttduk:
I forgot to add that it won't boot into recovery, it just stays at the Samsung unlock screen.

I can access Odin download, but no recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Duda258:
So just for people who have simillar issue. It just happens you can somehow get into Download mode (like once/twice a day) it is completely random. As I said, I got into download mode and flashed original ROM. I then sent my phone to repair. They had to change motherboard but they accepted the warranty, so its all good. So tu sum it up. if you have this problem, it is possible your motherboard is bad. Try to get into download mode and flash some original rom. You should then have no problem with your warranty.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scttduk:
Finally found a fix that worked. Using Odin I had to install the .pit file along with the .tar file. That reformatted the partition and installed the stock kernel, hence getting the phone to boot up correctly. Now to get root back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jd1639:
Which pit file did you use?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scttduk:
I followed the directions and links from an article on droidviews.com on how to unbrick your bricked samsung .... which linked to a .pit file titled SCH-I545-pit.zip. Unzip the file and load just the SCH-I545.pit file using Odin. I should mention I Odin'ed the .tar file at the same time.

As I've only posted a few times, I don't believe I can post any links at this time.

PM me if you need the link to the droidviews posting and links.

Good Luck.

Hi guys! I have a sprint galaxy s4 with cyanogenmod11 and TWRP recovery. Last night my phone shut off and won't power back on. I remove the battery and right when I put it in it vibrates and goes to the Samsung galaxy s IV screen for 2 seconds and shuts off again. I can't enter download more or recovery because after 2 seconds of the screen coming up it shuts off. This isn't a battery problem because my battery works in a friends s4. I also can't do anything from a PC because it doesn't show anything is connected because the phone won't stay on. So as of now it is bricked in a semi boot loop. Help me please guys. I don't care if I lose all data :((
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jd1639:
Mash the power button a number of times. It sounds like you might have a stuck power button.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] d.middleman1@yahoo.com:
What kind of mashing? Spam it or literally beat it with a hammer?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jd1639:
Just push it many times,lol no hammer required
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] d.middleman1@yahoo.com:
No success damn

---------- Post added at 01:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 AM ----------

Wow so I have the charger in and I mashed it and it shows green battery saying charging 0% and if I try recovery it shuts off again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jd1639:
Pull the battery, then hold the power button for 20 seconds. Then put the battery back in and see what happens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] d.middleman1@yahoo.com:
What does that do? Now says 5% so that's good
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jd1639:
Sounds like you have a hardware problem, I think the power button is shorting out. If you're still under warranty I'd rma it. If not take it to a shop and see what they say.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] d.middleman1@yahoo.com:
Omg its on!!!! Thank you so much I owe you everything. Tank you thank you thank you!!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jd1639:
If it's the power button it'll probably happen again. Might look at having that replaced. Glad it's work!

[Sony Xperia ZL] kitsVA:
I thought Power button design was a clever design by Sony when I saw it in pictures. When I got ZL I thought it was very nice but over time I started to feel it is getting harsh on fingertips. Now I am using upper middle area of thumb to press it as it hurts finger because of sharp edges and the 'clicky' sound it only getting louder. I recently got Xperia Tablet Z and I am now of the opinion that Sony overdid the design of power button.

I think it would have been better if it had spherical design instead of cylindrical so it's not harsh on finger. Also, it would have been better if it didn't pop up so much out. Now, the power button even makes a more 'click' sound than it did in the beginning which makes me feel it will get worse over time. I find the design of the power button on HTC is very nice and smooth except it feels little too small and not comfortable to reach on top.

I hope to see a nice rounded design with all buttons blended into the surface of the phone.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Q.Entity:
I like it as it is. Personal preferences vary.

Sendt fra min XPERIA ZL 6506
[Sony Xperia ZL] augie7107:
I think it's a poor design. Mine has actually popped off a few times. I also wear a horizontal belt case when at work and can't guess how many times I've turned the screen on accidentally. The placement is ok but I feel it should be flush with the surface.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ryude:
I find it to be perfect for me, to each their own. I hated the flush button design on the HTC 8X/One. Also this power button has the perfect amount of force and feedback. You know you pressed it, which is important.
[Sony Xperia ZL] memoHDCV:
I have a few days with mi Xperia ZL, but so far I find the power button quite comfortable, and unlike my Samsung Galaxy S3, the XZL don't turn on the screen by accident as much as the SGS3 :) ... maybe time will change my mind, but right now i'm quite happy with my Xperia ZL :D

Regards
[Sony Xperia ZL] augie7107:
Now have lost the power button. Need a pin to turn on screen. Going back to Sony under warranty. Be careful with this marketing gimmick.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Ingvarr:
Wierd, my power button does not do any sounds. Also I dont find it harsh on fingers. Try power button on, like, HTC One, now that harsh and difficult to press due to being flush (you have to squeeze it in with edge of your finger every time).

I got Xperia to very big extent exactly because of power button, and I think its very clever design, its very comfortable for me. Buttons located on top or closer to top are very difficult to press with one hand, making you prone to drop the phone. Buttons located on very bottom edge of big screen phones (like S4) are no better.

Granted, I see how it will require special case/bumper design because of this, but I just carry it in my pocket so don't care about it really.

Edit: sorry, just found that power button does inteed make "click" sound, but its extremely quiet. Not sure if it was better or worse before, as I never noticed it.
[Sony Xperia ZL] sarobi:
It's completely normal that power buttons makes a quiet "click" sound ! We are talking about physical button;) I would really like to meet the person "who has pain" (harsh on fingertips) because of power button on ZL:D Unbelievable:rolleyes: No offence!
[Sony Xperia ZL] murrayalex:
I love the power button on the Z and the one on the SP is even better as it protrudes a bit more. I think it adds a touch of uniqueness to the range.
[Sony Xperia ZL] jaetelha:
I like it, nice contrast to the body and other buttons. Yes, it sticks out, which will be an issue for anyone not using a case. It's very unobtrusive with a case .. at least with my Incipio Feather. Also, it's fun to watch people try and find the button the first time or ten
[Sony Xperia ZL] skinnycl:
had to exchange mine for a new one because the power button was loose and did not register half of the clicks. the new one has worked fine so far (a month and a half)
[Sony Xperia ZL] paul-c:
I like the power button. It could sit a touch higher, but other than that it's great.

Sent from my Sony Xperia ZL
[Sony Xperia ZL] augie7107:
Sony responded by telling me the device has "physical damage". No warranty replacement. $600 for a phone I used three months. Miss my ZL but I have no choice but to defect. In my opinion, a totally unacceptable response from Sony. The phone is like new with no power button. Needless to say, I'm disappointed and surprised.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ffh2303:
Personally I like the power button,it's easy to find without looking at the phone and the tactile feedback is great. It also looks quite nice. I'd rate this the same or slightly below the Nexus 4's power button.

That's an issue from Sony side .. The firmware has WiFi issues
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Belbol:
Solution:

1- You have to be rooted.

2- Make sure that WiFi is off , and it's better to reboot your phone before start.

3- Download "Market Unlocker" app from google play or 1mobile.com.

4- Run it and go to the "Market" tab and choose any market like "AT&T".

Now turn your WiFi on and it will be fine :D

mate,

try this one; it's free too! it's called worldtoday; i use it myself since i have to keep track of meetings across 4 timeszones. the app lets you show 6 timeszones on your today screen; you can rename the city and adjust the time from the today items menu. around 500-plus kb i think...

[Windows 8 General] Andrew_j:
Hi all

What are your thoughts about this device? I must say I love the idea. Currently I have laptop (for its power) win8 tablet (much less power but much more mobile) and 7" android tablet (overgrown phone always with me with some photo apps I love to use - camera control, wireless camera photos download etc.)

This device could replace at least two of them. If the new i7 will be supported with reasonably good graphic card which would allow me to run Gimp without issues or play some games I am in :) ulness of course the price tag will be set much higher that buying strong w8 laptop and android tablet separately.

And what are you thinking about this hybrid?
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
I think it is a hideously awful device.

It is guaranteed to be VERY expensive so you can probably get seperate devices cheaper. It is terribly disjointed to me aswell. I want to rip the screen from my laptop and carry on with what I am doing, not run the screen and base as entirely seperate machines.
[Windows 8 General] Andrew_j:
On the other hand if they will manage somehow to solve the issue of shared memory "offline" it still could be interesting for me. Lets say I am going outside to take some photos. Then I will drop my photos to tablet part of the device. I will review them maybe edit with photoshop touch, sent to friends, when I will get back home I will download photos to my library on the 1tb hdd of the base part. Next using 23" monitor I would be able to work on the photos using win8.

It's weird device I admit but only of price will be low is still sort of tempting for me.

But as you said I am afraid that price point will be set way to high. Also it may not get a standalone graphics card and it will be limited to SoC card. Which IMO will be bit pointless why to put quite powerful i7 and cripple it with poor graphic performance. :( we will see. :)

Hello

For some reason wifi range is really bad, about 4m (in line of sight even) 5ghz and 2.4 ghz. Sometimes 5Ghz range is better than 2.4Ghz

I've tried different routers (Netgear, Buffalo and TP-Link) and channels but it's about the same. When I stand 2m from my router Netgear WNDR3700 the wifi signal on One fluctuates from full to zero. When watching Youtube it fluctuates like made even when I'm next to the router. Its really random. Is my new Htc One bad?

[HTC One X] Imaginovskiy:
Hi guys, finally got a HOX. I've rooted, flashed a new recovery and bootloader unlocked it. When ever I flash a JB ROM (4.1.x or 4.2.x) I have issues with major lags to the point where everything seems to operate at 3fps and it's unusable. Anyone know why this is so?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Weird, can you give some more detailed info ?

What rom

What kernel

What recovery (type & version number)

Steps you perform before flashing and installing ?
[HTC One X] Imaginovskiy:
When I bought the phone it had stock 4.1.1 firmware and had the major lag issues and then I flashed Android Revolution ROM v9.9 I think on 4.0.4 and it smoothed out.

I tried CM10.1 and flashed the boot.img in fastboot and then rebooting into recovery (Lastest CWM) to do wipes and then flashing CM10.1. The phone proceeds to boot but lags immensely from that point on.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Okey, but what recovery are you using ? So i can give steps to install properly, not saying you didn't but to be safe.

Then we can try CM10.1 again or another sense rom just to test.

After that we can try different governer settings or different kernels.
