[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Koragg618:
Hi guys,

So recently I started noticing that when my phone has been fully charged, it would say 100%. But when I unplug it, it says 98%.

Is there a problem with my battery? Do I need to delete my battery stats file or something? I'm running stock battery.

Also I've noticed this across different ROMs.

Thanks

It's not your battery. Happens to me too.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mmapcpro:
Same here
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mycars12:
i think that it has to do with the roms lately and battery stats has nothing to do with it and battery calibration wont solve the problem either

has to be rom based
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darth:
Not sure about 4.2.2 roms, but its been a known bug on 4.1.2 since official jb came out, and is on roms based off it o believe! ;)

Nothing we can do....yet.

[Shield Q&A] Exynoshd:
So I have no idea how Miracast works and have no clue if it is possible but i think it would be awesome to use this to accept Miracast from my Nexus 4 and HDMI output to my television. I know that because it has Android 4.2 it should support Miracast output but with how buggy all things Miracast that I have seen are, I would not want to use it for gaming anyway.
[Shield Q&A] agrabren:
If you have a really good Miracast dongle for your TV (definitely not the Rocketcrap one), it's apparently pretty good. I have only tried the Rocketfish version, and while it worked for a short bit, it hiccuped and died a horrible death. The Nexus 4 is horrible for Miracast, so don't use that as an example. That's because Miracast is basically just an MPEG stream sent over a dedicated wifi channel (WiFi Direct). This is why the Nexus 7 can't do Miracast... It doesn't have the ability to have a second channel open at the same time. SHIELD has hardware-accelerated MPEG encoding, so Miracast runs a lot smoother and with less latency. The Nexus 4 either lacks the hardware encoder, or for some reason, doesn't use it.

But to answer your original question: By default, no, you can't turn SHIELD into a Miracast dongle. Technically, it *is* possible, and I've seen it done on similar hardware, but it's not something the device is designed or programmed to do.

Does your mains charger squeal with a high pitch noise that makes you want to bang your head against a wall?

Well suffer no more! Here's the simple solution - make a tiny loop with the charger cable at the phone end and rest your phone on it to keep it in place. Voila! The squeal that makes you want to kill is gone!

Let me know me if this works for you. Peace!
[Galaxy Note II General] MSK1:
Use blackberry cable.

Faster charging.
[Galaxy Note II General] rlfy:
It work.
[Galaxy Note II General] phochiom:
How do you go about doing this? Sorry but not clear to me. I have this noise problem as well when charging.
[Galaxy Note II General] stateit:
OP: What country are you from?

ie Voltage / Frequency

Not a problem with me @ 240v 50 Hz....

I'm an electrician, and this piques my interest.
[Galaxy Note II General] phochiom:
I'm in UK 220 volt, 50 Hertz. I have this high pitch sound from charger that is not constant. It goes higher at occasions during charging. I didn't try another USB cable though.
[Galaxy Note II General] Alex Atkin UK:
I have tried other cables, it didn't help. Must admit I am curious about fixing the problem though, it drives me insane.

I am a little concerned that its a fault in the PSU though as the power light on the phone changes brightness and it seems to coincide with the noise changing on the PSU.
[Galaxy Note II General] Tuffcheez:
OK, make small loops of the cable near the phone and rest the phone on the loop just to keep it in place. Try making one or two loops and listen for the change of frequency. Also flipping the mains power switch can help change the frequency.
[Galaxy Note II General] iamsloany:
Post deleted im obviously wrong
[Galaxy Note II General] vash_h:
Omfg Thanks! It works. Been irritated for so long since the days of my trusted old nokia 6610..
[Galaxy Note II General] vash_h:
Nice try but your wrong. Only high current electrical appliances is connected to earth these days.

Why is it when I use the same power socket for my tv and my charger and only charger gives out the high pitch noise?

Say your theory is correct. Why is looping the cable solving the problem?

I graduated in electronics and electrical engineering from leeds with years of working experience so I know what I'm talking about too.
[Galaxy Note II General] Tuffcheez:
I don't know.. Voodoo? It works for me, and others it seems.:cool:
[Galaxy Note II General] Tuffcheez:
Or maybe looping affects impedance changing the frequency just enough? I don't know I'm no scientist! :D
[Galaxy Note II General] Tuffcheez:
Also it makes an awesome mosquito repellent.
[Galaxy Note II General] vash_h:
I just got used to the sound. Initially I was having trouble sleeping but now it's all fine. With the looping.
[Galaxy Note II General] gefilus:
For me it sounds like that only when phone us fully charged.
[Galaxy Note II General] amerkiller1995:
Same here, silent till it hits 99% or 100%, then this quiet squeaky noise starts

Sent from my GT-I9000
[Galaxy Note II General] Tuffcheez:
I've also discovered the charger continues to squeal when you unplug it. I think it'd sending subliminal mind control messages regarding the purchase of your next phablet.
[Galaxy Note II General] Tuffcheez:
I replaced the cable with a blackberry charger cable. Not only is it fixed, but I have a better charge rate which makes me think the original cable was faulty.
[Galaxy Note II General] MSK1:
Me too.

3 hours full charge vs 6 hours before.
[Galaxy Note II General] intl:
I use the original usb cable and it recharge in 3-4 hours...

I hear that sound too when my phone is fully charged. I will try the looping thing.

Am currently trying to flash an english rom onto my newly arrived german xdaII (ebay) but for some strange reason am having difficulty copying any files except picture files to the device from my notebook. Sorry to bore you but this is what I understand the procedure to be. Highlight file to be copied on the notebook. Press explore in active sync and highlight file which is to receive the copied file and press paste. This only works for picture files and never for anything else. It appears correct and present on the notebook's activesync but when I open the file on the xdaII it is completely empty. In fact every file except the my pictures and templates is completely empty, no matter how I try to fill them. I therefore cannot get the HimaGetDeviceData file to the xdaII to get around the country id error. I have tried a soft reset and that didn't fix it. What is the difference between that and hard reset? Is this a case of simply pressing the wrong buttons (of course I don't understand German!) or is there something more sinister lurking about? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darixtorento:
I have a stock rom, rooted device and custom kernel installed... GT-I9500

my question is what does happen when i flash a custom rom, omega rom via recovery mode in my case..

will everything be deleted on my device? or everything will be saved ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misterjunky:
re: full wipe

Before flashing any rom including Omega you should do a full wipe in recovery for best results.

Omega rom does NOT delete everything from your device, none of the custom roms do that.

Good luck and be sure to wipe before flashing...................
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeherlev:
If you wipe it all then all is gone from internal sd.

But you have to full wipe for good result..

You should root the stock rom and backup all user apps with TITANIUM BACKUP and then wipe and flash Omega rom.

After flash you just inatall TITANIUM BACKUP again and restore all from backup...

[Motorola Atrix HD] Youngunn2008:
don't use safe strap. unlock the bootloader, flash a real rom. change the boot logo to the stock one and noone will ever know you that you unlocked it.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Semborski:
Which would you suggest? I do have unlocked boot loader currently.
[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
Well you don't use safe strap with am unlocked bootloader. Get cwm.

That has to be flashed with fastboot right? Any tutorials?
[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
There's a whole bunch. And a tool that does it all for you also. Look in the development section man. Ain't hard to search.

Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX
[Motorola Atrix HD] Aingaran:
Just download the cwm file and place it in fast boot folder or platform tools if you have SDK.. Open command window there by presssing shift key and right clicking simultaneously... Type the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img". Replace the name of your recovery To recovery_name... Then "fastboot reboot"
[Motorola Atrix HD] Semborski:
Just did it and saw you posted. When I restored my phone last night I did it manually in cmd with fast boot so it was easy enough.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Aingaran:
Always use manual fastboot/adb commands... Those are better than tools..
[Motorola Atrix HD] Semborski:
Can I use a 4.0.4 ROM or anything? I miss otg support. Otherwise what are some good 4.1.2 ROMs?

Also to your reply: by cmd I meant command prompt. I did it with adb and fastboot directly.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Aingaran:
Yes you can get 4.0.4 back... But reg otg, it works in 4.1.2 as well ... Even it works with all 4.2.2 nightlies... What problem you face in otg?
[Motorola Atrix HD] Semborski:
Im on stock 4.1.1 right now. I try to use an app called arduino commander and it doesn't work. Nothing plugged into my externally powered otg cable works. What's a good 4.1.2 ROM to use?
[Motorola Atrix HD] Aingaran:
try this app and tell me whether it works or not....

Myth tools will flash it at the push if a button.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Aingaran:

safestrap 3.12 rom slots

so i have a xt926 razr hd with unlocked bootloader, with safestrap 3.12. i have played with this and other roms, but i have some questions. when bach up my phone and then restore it to a rom slot, then reboot.

quetion is; can i play with other recoverys on this rom slot? as if this was another phone. or with the recovery interfear with the stock rom slot?

so that i can use it to install 4.4 kitkat on it to see if i like it and if not i just delete that slot.

if this were posible i could dual boot it from android 4.1.2 to android 4.4.
[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
Do not even try to flash a 4.4 rom with safestrap. Why do people still do this? Use a actual custom recovery.

[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
It's maybe possible, but only really knowledgeable people should do it....You'd need to make a flashable zip with kernels, ramdisks, and any other partitions/things that are different between the Roms or android versions. You'd then have to hope like hell that the newer kernel would boot the stock ROM far enough that SS kicks in and boots the slotted ROM. I don't have the skills to add in more partitions for the slots or get kexec working with SS, or I'd of done did it.
[Motorola Atrix HD] andrewgiv:
thank you for your help

i think need to learn more about how this stuff works and how the programs work. But i do love to tweak my toys out. i think i have rooted every android phone i have ever owned, supped up every car, truck and motorcycle that i ever had. i just can help it. if i can make it better, I will.

new question what is a bricked phone? is it a phone that didnt have enough power to be restored or was some how restoring was interrupted? if i make sure i fallow all instructions it shoudnt happen to my phone correct?
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
I hear that. If it can be tweaked then you have to do it. Nothing wrong with that.

Bricked is when your phone is in an unbootable state and there's nothing you can do to fix it. We have two for the Atrix HD. First is when your boot loader is locked and you flash something or tweak something leaving you in a state where you're unable to access fastboot to flash it back. Second is the low battery brick where your phone dies midflash or you're tweaking something and the battery dies and you're unable to fully boot and fastboot won't flash because of the low battery and you can't charge it normally due to something being wrong. Fix for the first is flashing a stock fastboot if you can, fix for second is buying the Moto Factory cable that powers a phone directly from the USB port. If you get to a state where you're unable to access fastboot, recovery, or boot, you have a true brick and need a new phone.

So I was following xBeerdroiDx guide on backing up/rooting/flashing the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4. I got right up to step 4B before I realized my PC wasn't detecting my S4 or external SD card, so I couldn't put a rom on there. I restarted and nothing will load...I'm trying to get into download mode, but it just restarts into the battery logo and shows no sign of charging. Please help. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
Turn the phone off, take the battery out (maybe 30 seconds), put the battery back in, but keep the phone off. Plug the charger into the phone and let it charge for a while without turning it on (you may need to let it charge to 100%). Then, try to get into download mode, Odin the factory firmware, factory reset, and start again. That is, if it works. Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] IIMaxII:
When I power it on it just shows Samsung with custom underneath it and my PC immediately attempts to install Samsung Mobile MTP Device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
Ok, You are giving conflicting information. Try to get into recovery. Use the various button combinations to get into recovery. If you don't know them, search for them. If you can get into recovery, try to install a nandroid (if custom) or try factory restore if 3e. Again, if you can get into download mode and let ODIN do a factory install would be better. Or you can try Kies emergency restore.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] IIMaxII:
Did what you said. Plug it in the battery logo shows up but it doesn't show if it's red or green it just stays there, I'm assuming it's still accepting the current and charging though.

have you placed the ROM and any other potentially necessary files (gapps, loki-doki) on your device or it's micro sd card yet? if so, what rom?

i'm assuming you've already wiped everything and thats why your device wouldnt boot up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
If you are in TWRP, you need to either restore a nandroid backup (if you have one) or download a compatible ROM (and Kernel if necessary) and flash it. But make sure it is compatible to your device! If you don't have a ROM available on your SD Card, download one onto your PC and transfer it to your SD card (manually if needed). Once it is on your SD card, just flash through TWRP.

And always start making Nandroids before you do anything...just in case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] IIMaxII:
The thing is...I wiped before I had a rom on my internal storage or SD card...and while I was in TWRP, my pc wouldn't detect internal storage or external for me to copy it over...so I just rebooted my phone hoping that it would work...stupid mistake.

Is this right and safe to continue? I'm in download mode.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
Make sure if you use ODIN to restore that you get into recovery on the first boot and do a factory reset.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
The picture you posted looks fine. As long as your phone shows in the com port, ODIN recognized it. But there is never any guarantees. Everything should go OK, but there is always risk. I can tell you that it "appears" to be ready, but you will have to click the start button and see if it goes OK. As mentioned, make sure to boot into 3e recovery after ODIN reports successful and do a factory restore or it might not boot up right. Good luck. Let us know if it goes OK.
