[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] HighMans:
No, no it does not, it only charges. And I even changed it so that it has to prompt me to connect to mass storage. I also have to say that the usb cable is working, and I've tried 3 other computers.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TwitchyEye:
Some cables only charge. Try a different one.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Madein Cyberspace:
What cables are you buying? They all charge and transmit if they're micro usb. It could be a bad cable from the data pinout side or it could be a bad connection on the data pinouts from the phone side. Here's the photos

Either way you will never be able to buy a micro USB cord that doesn't have five strands.:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] HighMans:
It isn't the cable, I tried using the same cable to connect up to my Optimus T, and the device showed up in windows and on the phone as an option to connect as mass storage.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TwitchyEye:
Well. Maybe the same thing happened to yours as mine. The usb connector broke off from the motherboard. But there's 7 contacts on the other side; +5V and GND have two each so it's possible to have broken just the tx or rx lines thereby leaving it incapable of talking but still able to charge.

I have exorcised the demons! This house is clear.

But seriously try wiggling it or bending it. If it works and/or finishes breaking it off you'll know for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] HighMans:
Dang, I really don't want to open my phone and check if it's broken. Hm. Is there another way to root the phone via an APK, or flashing an update.zip or something like that?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TwitchyEye:
Not really. Better if you fix it. Sorry dude.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cpkelley94:
Even if there is (and I don't think so) that wouldn't be a good idea. If anything at all goes wrong or you aren't happy with what you would have done, there would be no way to go back to stock without the data port working (since the back to stock methods we have use Heimdall or Odin and require a computer). I just don't think it would be safe.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mainforce:
Check if permition to import and export data is needed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] HighMans:
Yeah, it makes sense. I think i'll take apart the phone and see what I get.

What permissions?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TwitchyEye:
When I took mine apart it looked fine it's only when I actually looked under a microscope that I could see the cracks. Ok the microscope may have been overkill but definitely find a magnifying glass or some reading glasses.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] tony.wheeler:
For those with a T-Mobile (USA) HTC One you may be interested to know that I just inserted my Straight Talk Sim (T-Mob version) and it worked with no need to Sim Unlock. I'd got the sim unlock code from an E Bay seller but did not need to use it.

Having now created the new APN all works fine - in fact, and for some weird reason, the data connection is slightly faster on the Straight Talk Sim! Cannot account for that but was typically getting 3-4Mbs on T-Mob sim and now get 5-6Mbs on Straight Talk - could be a coincidental T-Mobile increase in the output?

I am using the ARHD 10.2 ROM (it's excellent) but there is nothing (that I am aware of) within a ROM change process that would normally unlock the sim so I assume it just works because it's on the same network?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] trashcan:
Your Straight Talk SIM is probably a TMo one. That is the main reason you don't need to unlock the phone. I believe TMo throttle it's 4G but not for those virtual operators.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] jonathan3579:
Be aware though, if you got the phone on EIP and didn't finish paying, they can and will still blacklist it. I learned the hard way when someone didn't pay their EIP on a Note 2 I had purchased from craigslist. :(
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Nippero:
If he's the original owner of the HTC One, Tmo will just send him a bill for remaining EIP balance anyway.

I am curious as to how Simple Mobile is though.

I'd go for Tmo's $30/month prepaid but I use way more than 100 minutes a month.

Please, do share more of your experiences with Simple Mobile as time goes on.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] luckylui:
It's 1500 minutes/txt combine. My buddy has this plan. Only 30 mb of data tho..
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Nippero:
Different plan then o_O

...

Okay I just looked it up: http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-plans

There's two $30 plans, the one you mentioned and the one I'm thinking of which is Unlimited data + text w/ 100mins.

Just noticed the unlimited data gets throttled at 5GB though.. meh. I blew past 5GB in half a month..
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] luckylui:
I only saw one lol.. my buddy is complete noob with android and I told em to go for T-Mobile he got that 1500 one..

I'm at 73 gigs right now hahahah unlimited everything for me tho :)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unloadefy:
so yes... I know its impossible but I have lost lots and lots of family photos within the internal storage for my XZ. It was just yesterday when I wanted to give custom roms a try and I totally forgot about backing them up... ive been searching 13hrs so far on google trying to recover those files. The closest topic I found was this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1994705 i am stuck on adb (google usb driver) installation part, which I get an error "The folder item you specified doesn't contain a compatable driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for 32-bit

systems." can anyone help?

or please let me know if there is a way to mount xperia z internal storage to UMS mode? I mean I would like to connect my phone to pc then scan phone with software like Recuva.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G1_enthusiast:
that guide is for galaxy nexus. Not sure if you can do that, what you can do is contact Sony, tell them your situation and see if they can do some forensic stuff on the phone, sometime they can recover it...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anirudhks:
that method applies for all phones , I have used it to recover my note 2 , Xperia Z and even the Note 1 so its same for all androids
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelamar90:
I was having the same problem last time, accidentally deleted some photos on internal storage from my Son Xperia phone, then I did some research and found this solution: Sony Xperia data recovery

the Sony xperial file recovery guide helped me get back lost photos from internal memory of my Sony Xperia phone. hope that it helps you too.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey63:
Use a file explorer and navigate to /data/media and data/media/0 under /DCIM/100ANDRO and see if pictures are there.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theprince1991:
Mount the XPERIA Z as an external hard drive and then use a program to recover the files (I'm on mac and I'm using Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery... There's a windows version too).

Literally doing this to my sisters' XPERIA S as I type.

One drawback is that it takes forever. :p

EDIT: Sorry I just realised this is what you were trying to do all along. To get XPERIA Z mounted as an external drive go to settings>xperia connectivity>USB connectivity and select MSC. I know you requested UMS but these programs should still be able to recognise and recover data from these drives
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skydeaner:
First of all I want to point out that i'm not blaming anyone other than myself. I know it was my retarded act that caused this so no need to come in the thread and say it was my fault and that i'm king of tardland.

So, the other night. I left a 3d game on my phone and plugged it into my charger and then fell asleep with the mofo under my pillow. I also have a hybrid case on it if that makes any difference for everyone to know. A layer of silicon, and an outer of plastic.

AHHHH. I wake up the next morning, the phone had not throttled or shut off, it was too hot to touch, so I immediately killed it, unplugged it and waited for it to cool. When I booted back up, it looked like-a-this!

Here on google plus, shouldn't require a login

You can see a central square where the proc is that got hottest and then it fans out from there. Crazy stuff.

Like i said, I shouldn't have fallen asleep with the damn thing under my pillow, this i know. But damn samsung, people be fallin asleep.... people be fallin asleep! Does the stock kernel not have a thermal shutdown?

It is getting replaced free of charge of course, but I wanted this info to be out there so no one else falls asleep on theirs. Thanks for reading guys!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jayochs:
wait, so you left the screen on ALL night, under your pillow?

damn dude. lol

and i heard that they do shut down at a certain temp! that's weird it didn't..that sucks :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rednoved:
That sucks. How many hours would you say it was under the pillow?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] IamPro:
Glad it ended well. Guess you didn't have the motion eye thing active?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legacystar:
The on board temp sensor should trump all other settings and turn the phone off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eNkrypt:
Are you running stock? I have a setcpu profile that will throttle down the cpu if it gets too hot. However, the reason the screen didn't go off is because you had a game open and since it thinks you are playing or watching something it will not time out.

Glad you are getting a free replacement!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rushless:
I have had that happen with the S3 before, but was not a resource hungry app running and was running at 384 instead of full speed.

Had it with a tablet as well and was a resource hungry game. No display discoloration though, but likely due to a bigger footprint to displace heat better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skydeaner:
I have a condition that causes me a lot of pain. So I was only asleep roughly 3 hours. Which is as long as I am able to sleep every night lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skydeaner:
I was running a rom. It was an official verizon tw based rom. I feel it is important that I do not disclose which rom I was on as it was not a rom problem and I do not wish to discourage people from downloading it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Schoat333:
Actually, that could be entirely important if said rom had a custom kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skydeaner:
Oh ****. The rom I had was a stock kernel that is why I said it was not relevant.... but you just made me remember that earlier that day I flashed a custom kernel. Let me look at its github and talk to developer about the default settings before I name said kernel lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NuclearEMP:
not sure if anyone else has seen this but mine is starting to have the same effect.....without being under my pillow.

dim the screen to lowest setting and look at a gray image. Top of mine has red tint while bottom has green tint

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] asinglenoob:
Hey guys, would love to get some advice on batteries for this phone. I would like to buy an extended battery or at the very least a spare that I could swap out when my main one dies (which happens far too frequently for my liking). I've heard some talk on these forums about Nexus batteries fitting in these phones, is that true? And if so what Nexus battery should I purchase to be sure it would fit? If not any aftermarket batteries that you guys recommend or would I be better off with OEM? Thanks in advance for the advice!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Jserrano56:
To be honest a extra battery might not be needed what ROM and kernel are you running
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] asinglenoob:
I'm using the latest 'stable' build of CM10, CM 10-20130107 and whatever the default kernel is for that ROM. Battery life isn't awful but I wouldn't really call it great either. If I'm just around the house on WiFi all day I can get about 3 hours ish of screen on time and maybe 10 hours of standby. Problem is as soon as I go mobile 4G seems to really suck the battery dry. I'll get maybe an hour and a half of screen on time and shortly after that it will die. The strange thing is that I have all of my push notifications off for everything except Facebook, no email or any other apps are seeking data (in theory), Google Play isn't allowed to update when on mobile data so I'm not sure why being on 4G makes such a difference but it really seems to drain the battery fast. I have noticed a few things when trying to troubleshoot battery issues that I've had, CPU almost never seemed to go below 384 MHz according to CPU Spy so it was never hitting deep sleep like it should. I went ahead and uninstalled almost all my apps on it and now it does seem to enter deep sleep more often. Another interesting thing that I notice is that sometimes the phone will just be sitting in my pocket not doing anything and it will be really warm for some reason (almost like CPU has been working under full load for a long time) even though I haven't been using it at all. Seems to only do that when I'm not on WiFi so maybe something to do with the 4G modem? Anyway if you have some advice on a better ROM or kernel that would give me better battery life I would be happy to hear it. Battery life is really my only gripe with this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Jserrano56:
I'm using the All-star Liquid Smooth ROM and running Lightning Zap Kernel by Thomas.Raines

This is my battery life

Now I have been using WiFi all day and when I'm on 4G there isn't a significant battery drain... to be honest I saw some of the best battery life ever on this phone using AOKP by racing 19969 I was getting at least 15 hours and max was 17.5 hours using LZ kernel on that one too
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] namaui:
I've been able to pull about 12-13 hours with minimal use on CM 10 w/ BlueLightning X2 kernel underclocked a bit, so I'm thinking its time for a new battery. When I first got it I was able to get somewhere around 16 hours on the debloated stock GB ROM. Ideally I would love to be able to get at least 18 hours, so that I could make it through an entire day and night with a few hours to spare, but I don't see that happening.

I love this phone, but hate having to worry about the battery mid-way through the afternoon. I really do miss the days of my old BlackBerry getting 3+ days of heavy use before it started to warn me to charge it...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] asinglenoob:
I've honestly thought about going back to stock firmware several times, thinking that the battery might be better there along with better stability. I love CM-10 for the looks and just overall usability but with random reboots still happening at least once a week and other little quirks along the way I've wondered if I might not be better off with something a little more consistent as my daily driver. I did try Lighting Zap Kernel at one point, perhaps problem with how my mod was installed or something but I found my phone to be consistently slower and laggy with it so I removed it and went back to base CM-10 kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Jserrano56:
Its your phone and your choice but once again I recommend AOKP and Lightning Zap Kernel I'm haven't had any random reboots on lz or any lagging and I always got 15 hours at least and 17.5 Max, I have medium to heavy usage on my phone .

To fix lagging flash this

Have you tried black hole system wipe or Thomas.Raines' Germlin Remover ?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] asinglenoob:
Well the thing was I only lagged when I had Lightning Zap installed so either it was stupidity on my part or too much gunk in the file system or something else. I'm a little confused as to what AOKP is, I was under the understanding that it's a kernel, but Lightning Zap is also a kernel and you can't have two right? I did try the Gremlin Remover, which completely screwed up my phone the first time, so I went back, used black hole, then Gremlin Remover, and reinstalled everything from scratch, phone seems to be stable now but I did have a black screen on death once since then. Somehow in that whole process my 32gig SD card seems to have died : (

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Romman0:
I would use the latest nightly instead or the stable. I also use blue lightning x2, I have better batterywith it than with Lightning Zap. Using mobile data with the screen on will kill your battery no matter what.

If your phone is not sleeping correctly (normally I will loose 1 percent a hour on wifi while sleeping, I also do a high level ATK kill before). Try doing a backup and run black hole and fsc a few times and format the emmc (backup important stuff). Then a flash of the nightly, kernel and gapps.

If you've 'tried everything', then it's likely Bad drivers or a bad USB cable, I'll assume you've tried my tool, the idcrisis tool, Easyflasher and wolf's method (Described by Fred) above.

If you'd like me to remote desktop you with Teamviewer to make sure your drivers are good I can do that, but if you've really tried everything then it's likely a bad cable.

ToD
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lethe6:
To test the cable, simply transfer a file through USB with a known md5 signature, then verify it again after it's been transferred. You can use something like AFV to check the md5 once on the device. The bigger the file the better; the more chances it has to fail.

I GOT IT! holy crap! Ive gotta windows 7 comp. It turns out, it was the computer!. I completely wiped my laptop and started over. Still failed to flash recovery. I borrowed a friends computer and wah lah. Went into apx mode, got the new device found notification and installed the naked driver from device maneger. They finally took! This tablet is pretty old so I figure SBK1, nope, command wudnt run. No harm done. Went back and did SBK2 and FINALLY! Anyway, the first thing I do on any rooted device ready for a custom rom is do a nand back up. I kept gettin the "error path not known" or sumthin. This was on rogue. No offense to them, I never liked the lay out from the epic 4g touch days. So I loaded twrp. And now im able to do a back up.

And if I could not of gotten it, yes I would have let u remotely access my comp. It was the computer though. I trashed it and got me another this morning.
