[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muppetmania:
Thanks! I appreciate the explanation, but it still doesn't make any sense to me, here's why:

Happy that EFS is actually a partition. The key isn't so much the partition though, but the nv_data.bin that lives within the directory that's important. Because it's unique to the phone, restoring via ODIN is never going to restore that file. (Is it? Is there something I'm not aware of?) It can't, because each phone has a unique IMEI encoded in that file.

(What even more fun is us N7105 owners with Qualcomm modems, nv_data.bin isn't used. But I digress)

If the phone's whole partition table (or even individual partitions) were to become corrupt, it's always possible to flash a .PIT file which should restore them. Of course, this doesn't restore any files, just the filesystem layout.

So I'm curious:

Are you suggesting that the nv_data.bin file still exists, but is unreadable by the current baseband/modem (but that upgrading it will allow it to be read as it's in some new format?) - or something else? When I've been saying corrupt EFS I really mean "lost/deleted/corrupted or inaccessible nv_data.bin" - something has happened that makes the phone unable to parse the contents of the nv_data.bin correctly. Maybe a newer FW upgrades the format of the file so that older modems can't understand it anymore?

Sorry to be a pain. I used to flash/unlock phones back in the SonyEricsson glory days! I used to like to understand how everything worked, and this is no different.

To OP

: I'm sorry to slightly drag your thread offtopic - please do flash the suggested modem and let us know how you get on!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adytum:
This is a bit beyond my knowledge, and guesswork to an extent, but I'm sure it's is googleable for verification.

I think the nv_data bin is simply the manifestation of the unique values that are inherent in the efs partition. When the file works as it should, it receives imei and other information from a source that operates on a lower level, hence the difficulty of restoring if this source is damaged, meaning the efs partition itself.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan Law 001:
Okay, I will go for this. However, I need to re-rooted my phone first since I went back to stock. Also, I need to do it tomorrow because I am quite busy now. I will leave a feedback to you guys soon as I am done.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] victorator:
Read this

Basically if you don't have an efs backup you will be only able to use the ME4 modem from this moment on. After you downgrade to say 4.1.1 (like I did) you will need to change the modem to ME4 for it to work properly. I had an efs backup, so I just restored it and then flashed the stock 4.1.1 rom with odin and everything works, if you don't have one, you are stuck to the ME4 modem for now. No other solution is possible at the moment.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan Law 001:
Thanks for reply, I am okay with ME4, and I just want the phone function back so I don't need to bring 2 phones to work.:)

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muppetmania:
This is great news.

I'd also like to apologise for giving you misleading information - telling you it needed repair when obviously it didn't! I've learnt a lot from this thread too.

I'm very glad you managed to fix it without going away, otherwise I'd feel terrible!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshphilips:
That's good news . Can you outline the exact steps please !
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan Law 001:
1- flashing back to stock using Odin.

2- root it again with Odin.

3- flash the ME4.

4-done.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nxmehta:
Can anyone comment on how strong the vibrate is on the S4? I'm coming from a Galaxy Nexus and am looking for something stronger. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ChugJugThug:
you can actually set how strong you want the vibration to be on the S4. I keep it at max and it works fine for me. I can even hear it faintly from across the room which also helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cybereclipse:
Where do you set this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nxmehta:
Oh wow that is awesome. Is it configurable by Tasker? That would make it even better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lSUPERFLYl:
If you flash the KT-SGS4 Kernel you can set the vibration strength anywhere from 5-130% within it's settings app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ChugJugThug:
Settings > My Device > Sound > Vibration intensity

You can even make it different for incoming phone calls, notifications, and haptic feedback.

I assume it can be configurable with Tasker since its a standard setting, but i've never used Tasker so i'm not positive. Someone else can confirm or deny.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
Going back to my Eris days, all phones have at least ten times intensity as that one. S4 has a pretty solid vibrate. :thumbup:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scotepi:
Its weak imo, hard to hear or even feel in my pocket on full strength
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ( default ):
I flashed the Google Edition ROM to my S4 and the first thing I noticed was a huge increase in haptic feedback, it has me thinking that there can be a mod out there somewhere to increase the settings more than what the stock settings will allow. if anyone finds or develops anything, please send me a link :D.

I am so close to having my S4 perfectly modded to my flavor...at least for this week.

Hello everybody since i restored an CyanogenMod backup my phone says that i just got about 1gb internal storage left. But as you can see on the screenshot I don't got much on my phone. And I just got 1 backup in cwm. I really don't know what I should do. I already wiped everything and reflashed CM. any kinda help is very appreciated.

Never mind I found a souluton. Cwm went crazy and created almost 10 backups which I didn't saw last time.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattBooth:
AS in the title.

Any GAPPS package I flash on the latest PA crashes the acore service (which is the Play Services, right?).

Apps like Hangouts and G+ I think are the culprit, but even removing those doesn't help. Previously, on vanilla, neither of them would work, so I figured I'd branch out to AOSP to see if this helps, plus, it's nice to use. But no :/
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sttovo:
I get this when I dirty flash. If you clear app data and cache for Contacts and Contacts Storage, then reboot, the problem should go away.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattBooth:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] psychatog64:
personally i dont like folder mount i use link2sd app and yes it does work for the s4 you just cant make the ext on the external sd from the custom recovery any more you have to use the pc program to format the external sd to fat 32 and choose how ever much memory you want for that part then make the ext part and then also choose how much memory you want for that part go through the process then once you launch link2sd it will ask you to select the ext part of your external sd and there ya go you can now create symbolic links between your apps and external sd theres a guide floating around on the internet just look up how to use link2sd app

[General Questions and Answers] H3llwar:
There's just the chance of bricking your device, just like everytime you are rooting it or flashing something.

Rooting it again shouldn't be a problem.
[General Questions and Answers] Freakyy6:
Bricking is easily fixed by flashing a new rom?

[Vibrant Accessories] souleater11:
hi everyone,

any suggestions where can i purchase a durable case for vibrant ?

so far this is the only one i can find with a lot of customer reviews.

[Vibrant Accessories] oneupe1even:
I'm personally a fan of silicon cases. The only major problem is that it's a little difficult sliding it out of your pocket.
[Vibrant Accessories] Cooptx:
That is why I use silicon cases :P so they don't fall out of my pocket as easily.

@OP, look into Samsung Galaxy S 4G (SGH-T959V) cases. There are some two piece cases that are sturdy and cost 7 dollars. Worth it for me. They fit the Vibrant perfectly, the only thing is they might have a hole for a face camera which the vibrant does not have, but that isn't a big deal. I will post a link in a bit.

For those who are using O2mini............

In order to save some rom memory for your device to run faster and smoother, I would like to share with you all the method of viewing the extended rom on O2mini and install only those useful .cab file.

1. Backup whatever neccessary, perform a hard reset.

2. Follow the screen instruction, align screen, etc...

3. when the screen show setup is complete. Tap the screen to begin using your device, get ready your stylus pen, one tap on the screen and when you see "today" screen appear, do a soft reset immediately.

Well, you are now halfway to finish the slimming course

4. Now in your mini, you'll realise there's one new folder called "Extended_ROM" under your file explorer.

5. Build a "Guest" partnership and copy this folder to your PC.

6. Disconnect the sync.

7. ok, let's start to do some hanky panky things on your mini's extended rom........

8. Tap this file ------ Delete_vdisk_shortcut_WWE.sa.CAB

9. And tap the following files

O2_User_Angent.sa.CAB (this one must install if you want to use O2plus)

Patch_103_7.sa.CAB

Patch_WWE_103155.sa.CAB

Version_WWE_103166.sa.CAB14.

10. ok, make sure you've done all the tapping and double tap this file "TPEnable.exe" to unlock.

11. that's it, softreset your device and now you can see the different.

You can do some memory comparison before & after. Dont worry, your device will be back to normal if you do a hardreset again. everything will be fine.......

try it.....
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] minhtv74:
After gone through the Extended_ROM, i found a file called 'Config.txt'. This looks like a script for autoinstallation all the cabs after a hardreset.

Above are all the cabs I installed on my Mini except those with remark "not installed". That means, about "7135KB" cab files i did not installed & yet it doesnt meant I have saved that amount of spaces cause some of the cabs will auto delete specific files after an installations.

So my estimated amount space saved is about 5.4MB.

Now I have no prob with GPRS, MMS & O2 Connect/Plus.
