[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] xL8:
Hello everyone, i apologize for my english, I'm new to this forum in fact I just recorded, I have this fantastic smartphone and would like to know if there is a mod to increase the Quick Settings on stock rom android 4.2.2 ODEX with the Nexus 4. Appearance your news.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Checkm8:
I was previously using this rom: ★[ROM][4.2.2][June 19] Hyperdrive RLS4 ¯`•._ ║ Raising The Bar ║ Revolutionary ★

and I tried to encrypt my device through Settings. The encryption failed and now whenever I start my phone I receive an error saying "Encryption Unsucessful". I have been reading through pages and pages of forums to no avail. I have tried loading up Odin3 3.07 and flashing SCH-I545_MDK_562219_Stock_Restore.tar.md5 under the "PDA" category but I receive this error: <ID:0/005> Can't open the specified file. (Line: 479).

Any suggestions on restoring my phone? I have tried wiping everything from the phone as well using the TWRP recovery but have had no success. I do not care about the data on the phone I would just like to get it functioning.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Prophet HERO:
I am going through the same exact thing as you, but I cannot boot at all, except into Odin. I cannot even boot into recovery. I am following this guide here with high hopes:

Hey Prophet Hero, can you please state the ROM you were using? The recovery you were using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Prophet HERO:
Hyperdrive... CWM. Love the ROM. Got greedy with the kernel...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Checkm8:
Prophet Hero, I have had a similar situation with my HTC EVO 4g where I could not even boot into recovery. I ended up just replacing the phone entirely.

I have not modified the kernel in Hyperdrive. I simply went to settings and tried to encrypt the device and my phone rebooted and started giving me this error.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have tried using odin to flash that file in the PDA section however I still receive the same error.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Checkm8:
I have finally managed to fix the problem. The first error I was receiving:

<ID:0/005> Can't open the specified file. (Line: 479).

Can be resolved by properly extracting the file. I was unaware that .gz was the 7zip format the tutorial I was reading was referring to (found here: http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=237) as I have always seen 7zip formats as .7z.

After appropriately extracting the file, I was able to flash successfully in Odin, when prompted with the "Encryption Unsucessful" error, I pressed the button to "Reset Phone" and since the Recovery was no longer a modified one, Samsung was able to properly Reset my phone.

Thanks Prophet Hero for your links!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:
If it doesn't work, you will need to do a Full Stock Recovery via Odin back to 4.2.,2. I can help you on that if you send me a PM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Prophet HERO:
You are most certainly welcome. Glad it worked out for you. Looking back, I am glad I had this issue. I used it as a good oppurtunity to flash a new kernel and expand my battery life a few hours. Loving Hyperdrive with ktoonsez kernel.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Electroman365:
First of all, I hope I am posting in the right place this time. I couldn't find anything for Note II Canada.

So I just bought a BNIB Note II a few days ago. It's the i317m (from Rogers/Canada) but had it unlocked and modified (or whatever that is called) to get it to work with AWS network (Wind mobile). It worked but the reception on the phone where I live is horrible. Basically the phone will only work if it's stuck next to one wall in my place (where the signal is 1-2 bars). Once I move the phone to any other place I lose all connection, and the phone is rendered useless, which really sucks. I have an older Blackberry that I'm borrowing and it constantly shows 2 bars anywhere in my place. I also had an LG Optimus and as much as it sucked at reception it was still better than the Note. Wind signal is generally good in my area except for a couple of blocks but still, I was expecting the Note II to have better reception than other phones.

So, I'm wondering if this has something to do with this particular phone or is this a known issue with all Notes? Anything I can do? The phone will show full bars once I'm out of those couple of blocks where I live but is it possible that the Note II has worse reception than cheaper and older phones?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Senator949:
I think Samsung are known for weak radios

I'm having the same issue with my Note II on Mobilicity. After researching I've concluded that Samsung devices have weaker radio's that most other devices. I can wander around my home with my Note II in one hand and my wifes HTC Panache in the other and the Note II's signal is always 7-10 dBM lower than the Panache. The Panache never loses connection in my house and always has at least 1 bar while the Note II will drop in many places. Every time I call Mobi they say they'll make changes redirect an antenna by a few degrees or boost the signal but nothing ever changes.

I wish the phone would auto connect to the CDN Roaming network whenever I drop. I think it sort of does but just doesn't Register on the network because I do have a indication I can make Emergency Calls Only and shows I have 2-3 bars.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] gedster314:
I've noticed that my Note2 has poor LTE reception, 1 bar and 1Mbps down. If I switch to WCDMA only I get 4 bars and 7MBps and 1up. I just thought that it was my area. 2 weeks ago I got an S4 and the signal difference is a amazing. The S4 has 4 bars of LTE and I get 20Mbps down and 10up, the Note 2 on the same sim still gets 1 to 2 bars and very slow data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lojak29:
Samsungs have always lacked in the radio department always....

I remember how horrible the s2 was and the epic and vibrant.

Its one issue they have yet to fix.

Hi guys, I'm really new on the one (bought today :D) and coming from my rooted one x.

My one got the welcome splash screen and shut down by Vodafone_it and some Vodafone apps installed. My question is if my one is a branded one, and if I have to follow a particular procedure for rooting.

In bootloader mode I see m7-ul

Any suggestion welcomed :)

Thanks

I thought we could have this stickied so we can see who has their Nvidia Shield's shipped and from where.

I preordered from Nvidia stores. Status: Credit Card Pending.

Order status: Boxed Shipment
[Shield General] goodfellaslxa:
Mine says "Boxed Shipment" as well. I called and spoke with customer service earlier today, and they told me that they didn't have any shipping information available, but that my order status was "In Process." I don't know if that is the generic back-ordered product status or an indication that the Shield is actually being made ready for shipping. The CS rep obviously just works for Digital River, the apparent ordering/payment processing company used by Nvidia.

Crossing my fingers for release-date delivery. I didn't get any notice about the t-shirt I received several weeks ago.
[Shield General] AncientRomeBC:
preordered mine from my local gamestop , they got an email today saying they will no longer be receiving the shield on the 27th and they do not yet have a new date. Who hell knows whats going on im pissed to say the least . Nvidia only has like 3 partners in the USA that there selling through at launch (gamestop,newegg, & micro center) and they couldnt even get this right?
[Shield General] glitchhawk:
my newegg pre-order is still just pending so far however i don't expect them to ship them untill tomorrow night at the soonest. prolly not till thurs. which is why i bought 1 day shipping.
[Shield General] chinoesv:
Newegg pushed release date back to 8/15/13.... canceled my pre order
[Shield General] AncientRomeBC:
wtf 8/15 ? guess im going to gamestop tomorrow and cancelling
[Shield General] s0me guy:
mother...$&%#%^&.... :mad:
[Shield General] AncientRomeBC:
incompetent employee, how could nvidia fail this bad when they just announced the damn release date? boggles my mind
[Shield General] s0me guy:
exactly... i think i made it clear she needed to get the story straight too... IDK

im 2 seconds from canceling my newegg order and pre ordering from nvidia. Nvidia Still says they will ship by the end of the month. ill pay $35 more (tax/shipping) but atleast i know ill be getting it in the next week or so instead of being in the dark...

edit:

found this: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/548429/project-shield/release-date-change/2/

seems its not just newegg. could this be Nvidia holding back? not to blow it out of proportion but maybe a last minute cease and desist over som patent? fire hazard?

2 months out sounds like they have to go and open every box and change something....
[Shield General] chinoesv:
Its like the nexus 7 all over again...smh
[Shield General] AncientRomeBC:
yea i been posting on that site as well :)
[Shield General] glitchhawk:
i am confused by this because i don't see anything about a delay anywhere. and the website still shows 6/27 ?

Edit: oh i see.. nvm.. hmmmm well i might cancel if it doesn't ship tomorrow/thurs/fri, but i can't afford it on nvidia's website cuz i was gonna buy it with newegg account lol.
[Shield General] wrc1010:
If i cancel the order from newegg because they have delay it and order it from nvidia website now.

Will i still getting it on the release date 6/27/13 or i need to wait again. Anyone know it?
[Shield General] zorlac:
Yeah me too (mavissc)

Haven't been on XDA dev for years, used it all the time back in my HTC years! Feels like coming home!

I'm hoping that either they had sold out and so put back sales for 3rd parties or Newegg etc have sold out of their allotted units and they don't have a date for resupply so have just gone down the 2 months ahead route. The conversation in this thread with the Customer support (support, yeah right...) just makes me think she didn't have a clue. Looked it up on the system and is going off the same info we are.

I just don't see Nvidia allowing 3rd party retailers to give a new release date without them updating their own store first.

Please tell me it's still coming, I'm in Australia and had to pay $20 for the T-shirt to be shipped and put $100 in the shipping account to cover the Shield. I want it! I want it NOW!!!

Hehe Forgot this sig, i may have to bung it on my Gamefaqs account and troll the Xbox One board. :D
[Shield General] AncientRomeBC:
now the shield is nowhere to be found on the micro center site and there one of nvidia's launch partners . makes no sense they need to tell us something
[Shield General] frickinjerms:
well it still says 6/30 on the gamestop site.. im gonna go up there to the store i preordered at tomorrow and see what the deal is.. if they say its delayed then i guess im getting my money back
[Shield General] Hardcore73:
My money has come out of my account and Nvidia says it won't take money until unit ships.

Status of order still says: Boxed Shipment

I am still hopeful that I get it on release date.

I lost the credit card I had on file for the first one I preordered so hopefully it wasn't to late on this second one.

I changed my credit card they had on file for the first one and they still cancelled the order.
[Shield General] s0me guy:
my buddy stopped by our local Micro center and found these on the shelves...

buuuuut the sales guy said "nobody knows when the Consoles are coming in, but any that arent pre-ordered out of the shipment they get in will go on the shelf for regular sale". whenever that is.....

so to reconfirm: nobody knows anything about anything. but the cases are really nice! :rolleyes:

Just spoke to gamestop where I ordered my shield and they confirmed that they received a message that there is a delay in shipping. I was supposed to receive my unit tomorrow. According to the gamestop system there no known date of when it will actaully ship at this time....GREAT!!!! I had only one more day, now there is no tellin how long it might take to get it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Belbol:
First this method is not new , but it's just a small guide for people who don't know how to root there phones with unlocked bootloader.

What you need:

1- Xperia Ion (LT28h\LT28i) with unlocked bootloader.

2- You have to be on stock official 6.2.B.0.211 rom.

3- DooMLoRD 6.2.B.0.203 Custom Kernel + TWRP: link

4- Superuser zip: link

5- Stock 6.2.B.0.211 kernel: link

How to root:

1- Copy "Superuser zip" to your phone.

2- While you are on stock 6.2.B.0.211 , Flash DooMLoRD kernel on Fastboot mode using Flashtool.

3- Turn your phone on , and when you see TWRP logo , press VOL+ bottom , you will get into "TWRP" recovery.

4- Now choose "Install" then choose "sdcard" then "Superuser zip" and swipe to flash it.

5- After end flashing , press "HOME" then choose "reboot to Fastboot" while connecting your phone to PC.

6- Now in Flashtool , use Fastboot to flash the Stock Kernel.

All Done!

for the stock kernel.. ::confused:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kumbangdesa:
I think we can get root for the stock JB rom but loosing the recovery function after flash the stock kernel at the final..Am i right?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ganeshbiyer:
You don't need to install superuser.zip. TWRP has a builtin rooting function.

After going to recovery for the first time and when you reboot, it will install su & superuser.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ponext:
what about lockedbootloader device?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Captain Droid:
DoomLord is working on it.

Soon we will get the root access in JB.:laugh:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pharix:
Can you re upload superuser.zip? I can't download it.

EDIT: Got it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Belbol:
Yes , this method to root your phone on stock kernel , later maybe we can get recovery.

Lool i didn't get that on my mind! But to install root we need to turn the phone up then open SuperSU installer , so flashing superuser.zip maybe fastest and easyier!

Ok np :D

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Lepricon:
OK, title kinda says it all. I have good upload speeds on phone, especially on LTE, but when I am tethering i have zero upload speeds on PC.

I have tried running a couple speed tests, and they all fail on the upload test. I have tried uploading a file with Filezilla FTP, and it uploads less than 1KB, and locks up.

This is on LTE, H+, and H. Haven't tried Edge or GPRS.....

Any ideas? I don't know when it started, but it was working fine on LTE for a while, but noticed the other day that its doing this.

Oh, it's a Nexus4, running CM 10.1.0 RC5 and Franko kernel (though I just flashed Franco kernel today, and this has been happening for a few days).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artud:
Hello,

I dropped my galaxy s3 face down, the screen was on, very light drop about 30cm. At first the screen presented a very faint purple stain on the upper right corner. Took the battery off, put it on, boot sounds, led flashes... but the screen wont turn on. If I call the phone, it rings.

I took it to samsung service and they said my warranty was voided due to bad use... They want to charge me about U$ 300 for the new screen (I live in Brazil). I seriosly do not consider this a bad use and they identified that it was dropped. The phone has suffered from some bad drops, it has no cracks, nothing. This was a very light drop about 30cm, I cannot believe the product is so fragile.

My first concern is with the quality of the service. Will my phone be exactly the same after the screen repair? We are talking about a authorized samsung service center but who knows... Are there any known problems with replaced screens?

My second concern is that it feels like I am being ripped off and this is a easy fix... Feels like something is disconnected between the phone and the display.

Another thing to consider is that customer protection services in Brazil are a joke, I'll just waste my time.

In two days i'll have a detailed report with pictures and everything, I can post it here.

Does anyone have any ideia how they can prove that the phone was dropped it if has no cracks on the screen?

Best regards.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
There are signs in a screen invisible to you that will identify that it was dropped, yeah. They can tell the difference between manufacturing fault (which is what warranty covers) and shock damage.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artud:
Thank you for your anwser.

Do you think it is worth taking it to a independent store?

Maybe it is a easy fix? Or do you think it is really damaged. Any experience or ever heard of any case like this?

Best regards.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
ironic
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
The screen is outside warranty but generally if it is officially repaired, warranty is returned. Ask them if that will be true. If so get it fixed officially
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artud:
Sure it is.

Product has been dropped from very tall places. Usually on its back or corners. Nothing.

One drop when I was crouching, screen down, barely made a sound, and it is dead.

So a correction: I cannot believe the screen is so fragile. The phone sure is not.

Any further contribution is appreciated :)

Best regards,
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It could be the screen was damaged in all those big drops too. This last drop could have been "the straw that broke the camel's back". We don't know. Worthless discussion
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artud:
That was another concern I have. But i only have two months of warranty left anyways.

I am thinking about buying a new one. Repair: U$ 300, New: U$ 600.

Best regards,
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
If no warranty in 2 months anyway, maybe get quote from independent store. Check out ebay prices too. Does touch work still?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artud:

I'll get the report tomorrow.

I'll then have more time to test the touch. Also they will provide a report with pictures and "proof". I'll post it here.

BTW: There is a Multimedia Dock from Samsung: EDD-S20JWEGSTA

so it means it is possible both togeter, but i've already my USB OTG and MHL HDMI and wont buy now a extra docking station. Is it possible to use both together ie with an additionally adapter, or so?

Hope this helps.

I have a GPSlim236. On stock. It pairs but it seems there's absolutely no BT activity. I have checked Use Mock Locations. Nothing seems to happen. Any hints?
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] RageAgain:
Just to be clear I need to know the exact steps you are taking when trying to enable GPS. They should be:

1) Have Bluetooth GPS Provider loaded.

2) Have Allow Mock Locations and GPS Satellites enabled.

3) Pair the bluetooth GPS.

4) In Bluetooth GPS Provider choose your GPS, and in its settings make sure the GPS type is set to SiRF III ( or whatever your actual GPS type is ).

5) Start Bluetooth GPS Provider ( I also enable Bluetooth switching in the app, but that is my preference since I am currently using no other bluetooth devices ).

6) Use GPS applications.

Hopefully I haven't left anything out...

But as they say, it works for me.
