Hello everyone!

With the new S-OFF Finally up to par, I now have unlocked my DNA! I am looking to switch from the 4.1.1 that comes with the phone to 4.2.2 but can't seem to make heads nor tails of the newer ROM threads. Here's what I am looking for:

Wireless Charging Working

HTC Media Link Working

SENSE 5.0 is a huge plus

Better Battery

Better Performance

Less bloatware

Root is optional

TOGGLES!!!

Please everyone, let me know your experience on what is the most complete ROM for this phone to use on a regular basis. I have tried looking over the ROM threads, but these days they look like a lot of tech info without the easy to read points in there :)

Thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
If you want 4.2 then you won't be getting sense.
[HTC Droid DNA] nrnx:
Well, I could do without as long as the rest is working. What would be best in that case? Odd no 4.2.2 Sense 5 out yet.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
Newtoroots sense 5 rom is a good sense 5 rom meets all of your requirements but it isn't on 4.2.2 but when that's released to this phone the rom will be updated to 4.2.2
[HTC Droid DNA] nrnx:
Thanks, installed the ROM yesterday. Pretty nice, can't wait for 4.2.2 or 4.3!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zewolf:
Hello everybody,

I've a problem with my NOTE 2.

When I try to connect my NOTE 2 to my PC at work, the PC is not able to recognize it.

I think it's due to the MTP protocole.

I know that with my SGS1, it works.

Do you think that there is a possibilitie to install an app in order to transform the phone in USB Storage as an standard USB Stick? Or a program made by a developper.

It will be very helpfull for me if you find a solution.

If you want more informations, ask me.

Thanks

You need to start your "windows Installer" service before connecting your device

How to:

Make sure Windows is set to auto-update

connect your device with USB

From Device manager(right-click on "My Computer" and choose "Manage") Uninstall the Drivers

disconnect your USB device

Go to PC->Control Panel->Adminstrative Tools->Services

Start your "windows Installer" service

Connect your device with USB

keep the device connected until windows show Device Install Succefully(it can take a while, up to 10 minutes)

It should work well after that.

i know a couple other devices have been having similar problems but none of them that I've seen work for the viewsonic gtab. What's happening is that the program "android.process.acore" stops responding and it just says to force close it. It seems fine for about maybe 10 seconds at a time, and then it happens repeatedly. What is also happening is that the device is not allowing me to open the keyboard. Otherwise it pretty normal. I've had it for about 4 years and this is the first time it does this. I would like to try to fix this without using a factory reset.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tsprks:
When I browse in my Gallery it shows all the folders that I have locally as well as all my Google+ folders and on other devices I've been able to simply click on one of those images and set it as a Wallpaper. Now that I've got the GS4, I don't seem to be able to do this any longer and when I go through the Wallpaper settings to choose a picture it only allows me to use local images (same for contact images). Is there any way to change how this behaves?

Also, is there a fix for the weird treatment of landscape pictures (rotating them)?

Thanks.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] theagentcoma:
I am running the 6/13 build of PA 3.6 on my S3. I've been running it since then with no issues. However, suddenly (starting yesterday) I cannot receive/make phone calls. It just says "the process at .com.android.phone has stopped". It then force closes and also tells me Contacts had stopped. Any idea on what this is about?

Also please don't direct me to the developer subforum because I can't post there due to my lack of posts :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bbqsfire:
I would just wipe and reflash again.

had this with a few recent PA builds.

clearing caches and fixing permissions worked for a while, but it eventually came back for me and i had to switch ROMs

Hi guys,

I have a galaxy S4 I9500 version and I have observed a problem with it. I was sharing media with my friend's Xperia Z via NFC, while doing that, my phones' screen started flickering highlighting clock at the top portion.

Later I turned off both mobiles' NFC and taken both mobiles close and guess what my phones' screen flickered again.

I checked it with my old Galaxy S I9000 which doesn't even has NFC, again S4s' screen flickered.

Then I went to service center to show this issue, as they were not having any other S4 there to crosscheck problem, they asked me to visit a Samsung mobile shop. There I checked it with three S4s' which were on display and I found that problem was there with each and every S4.

So guys can you check your phones' for this issue and will it cause any problem to phone as the time passes??
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayushsocool:
similar type of problem

hii,

i am facing similar type of problem. the diffrence is that i get such flickering whenever i am using the mobile data network after evry few minutes and the flicker is like a flash(means it lasts for a fraction of second). i started to have this issue from past few days and this is extremely annoying.

Dont know wat to do!!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tush1114:
just submit it to the service center and ask them to remove that problem and dont accept it back until they fix it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayushsocool:
today i went to the service centre. they couldnt understand the problem with it and have submitted my mobile. they have asked me to wait for their reply as their higher technician will study the problem with the device!!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tush1114:
Good, let them take their time, dont accept that phone back unless they fix that problem....

Check this

The S-view will be triggered by any magnet
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tush1114:
But I think it could turn into an issue because earlier my phones' screen was flickering and waking up automatically highlighting clock just like shown in that video.

I submitted my phone to them and they have replaced display with new one. Now it is not flickering automatically but it does while holding devices side by side as that sensor gets triggered by any magnet. So there is a possibility that the sensor could get permanently affected by a strong magnetic field and triggers the screen to wake up automatically.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tush1114:
They replaced display with new one and now the problem is sorted out.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zubairamd:
Yesterday I tried something with my s4..

I disabled samsung link, clock digital(both of em), watch on, and dropbox.

The problem of flickering and clock appearing on top was GONE!! until......

I turned on the data network and found it coming back again...

I figured that it happened to me since i updated it to UBMG1 Indian firmware from BMEA

So i am now rolling back to the latter and sammobile here i come
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tush1114:
Even i have also tried a lot of things... but problem was still there.... i think it messes with hardware and there is only one solution and tht is to replace the display with new one... if you find sonething to sortout this issue without replacing any hardware part...pls post it here....
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksenthi5:
Same problem here.

Does any one got this solved.. as said by one member, even in chennai - tamilnadu, they are not clear on what the issue i am explaining to them, they just changed the motherboard. but no use still.

"S-view mode activates itself, dono why... it happened for me in a month old S4, i got my motherboard replaced, but still the issue is persisting. but the frequency became less. thats it. other than that no use.

as mentioned by one of the member, it is annoying as it happens any time u work with your phone. in any screen suddenly "
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zubairamd:
I got my screen replaced but in vain.. I think using the S view cover will help because the flickering is caused by s view initiation (black screen with clock) which is initiated by a magnetic sensor..

Buy unfortunately the s- view cover is costly and so I cannot buy it at the moment .

A possible solution is to turn the s-view service off to stop the flickering issue..

If any developer on the site could help us out..

Many people who had the complaint got their display changed but to no avail so it is definitely a software problem..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksenthi5:
- Actually am using the S-View Cover. But with no use, when its out of S-View cover it behaves erratic by switching to S-View display automatically.

-Yes you are right it can be a software problem ,but take my words, i used a S4 which i bought on launch date in India, i used it for 3 months, then i gave it to my cousin, and bought another new one - this is the one which is showing up this S-View Issue,

the old one which i had was a GEM, not even once i had this problem of S-View with it, both where of same SW revision level, hence there is something to do with the hardware.

am just waiting for the October 4.3 update, if this is not solved in that SW by any means, then am gonna **** on every Samsung technician in the service center, they don't even know the difference between Hall sensor and proximity sensor!!!! , for making them understand the problem in our phone itself is painstaking..

in between is there any change to bring this issue to Samsung's eye.!?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zubairamd:
True the service center's technicians

Don't know anything...

If you report that the s-view cover also gives the same result instead showing the s- view when it is supposed then I won't buy it because I only wanted to buy it currently just to fix the issue..

Also just waiting for the android 4.3 update..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rl421403:
That's not a issue. It's s-view feature in phone. If your phone get close to any magnet/magnetic source then it will activate s-view screen.

A lot of devices like iPad and Nexus 7 have a small magnet in them to provide support for cover/accessories. If your S4 get close enough to that magnet on other device it will activate s-view screen.

I dont know exactly if your other phone that you are trying NFC with, has a magnet. but there should be.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zubairamd:
I know that it is a feature but it comes just in between typing process or running through the temple (temple run) and it disturbs a lot so I thought of using the s- view cover so it will restrict the feature to only when needed out initiated by closing the cover instead of coming every time in between activity..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksenthi5:
Not always, see i am just holding my phone in hand, or it is laid on a wooden desk, even then this flickering into S-View mode happens.

exactly, this is the same annoying behavior i am also facing and is really disturbing and irritating.

i have again given the phone to the service center, lets see what happens next.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rl421403:
In That case, it should be software issue. Did you try wiping data and flashing latest stock firmware?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zubairamd:
I wiped data, cache, flashed latest firmware then downgraded and then upgraded again but of no use..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksenthi5:
yes, and i am always stock firmware only in my S4.. and still the problem is there...... always.

let me see, the phone is right now with the service center.... lets c how it spans out.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tush1114:
Trust me guys.... replacing display with new one is the only option to tht issue.. its been almost couple of months since i got my phones' display got replaced with new one... since tht time there is no issue....
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksenthi5:
I have finally figured out the problem for this S-view mode flash.

This is because of the magnetized screw that is present in the back for tightening the board with the back, specifically the screw which is near the volume (-)minus button, at the back.

How i figured this out is, when the phone came from the service center - they didn't tightened two screws(never had the screw itself at the back in two places, out of which one was the screw that i mentioned.). Initially i didn't noticed this, but the S-view problem never came up even once in two weeks,[without knowing how it got fixed].. i was happy and went to service center to get my screws back, once they were put in place :(, from the next 1 hr, the problem came back....... so i confirmed now its the screw i mentioned reason behind my phone's problem atleast.

try the same with urs and feedback. if it was helpful let me know...

also let me know whether we can demagnetise the screw, if not then i will loose one screw to keep the s-view issue away.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zubairamd:
Thnx but how to remove then... shall we go and ask the service center guys to just remove them and if we remove it, will there be any problem with the device..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksenthi5:
HI, a multi-purpose screw driver set is just a couple of USD only, u can own one yourself for future use, with this you can remove the screw in a jiff.

There wont be any problem with the device, it would just be fine + the S-View flickering stops :).

I am working on to understand whether its the tightness of the screw that creates the issue or the screw by itself[due to its magnetic property]

I am in search of a non-metallic screw, may be a brass one to try and confirm the above of two. whether its tightness or magnetic property.

once i get chance to have a screw, will let u know.

[/COLOR]u r absolutely right [MENTION=4381471]ksenthi5[/MENTION] , u just hit the bulls eye....love u buddy. i just took out the back cover and placed the volume side screw L1 area on my laptops speaker area and i just saw the flicker come and stay for about 3-4 sceonds, thats the problem, but when i bring other areas of the phone near the magnetic field nothing happens. i'm gonna try to remove the screw and see what happens. will let u all know. thanks again senthi
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksenthi5:
Cool... that it helped you... Ya, Now that i replaced that screw from a Faulty Micromax Phone of my friend. and now My S4 is not having the sensor issue as well the board is not shaky, as i have a screw in place now... living peacefully :)

hey do this work for samsung S5 as well ?:confused::(
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sathya80:
I too have this screen flickering problem. I think this problem appeared in TW lollipop (don't remember). But i see this as software issue.. coz this screen flickering doesnt comes when the screen is locked. The screen starts flickering just before the 3 seconds when screen becomes dim and goes off (only when the screen is unlocked). I see that whenever the brightness goes less than 8% the lower part of the screen starts flickering. I never tried CM version. I have tried different kernels, few kernels have lesser flickering (may be temporary), sometimes wiping dalvik and cache, sometimes cleaning junk files also stops flickering. Yes i too agree that cold also causes flickering. So evenif there may be hardware issue, if any app can raise the minimum brightness to 8% or more before getting blank, can definitely stop flickering. I have tried many apps, nothing is able to control the minimum brightness (including root apps). Some setting in samsung (may be in build.prop) can prevent screen brightness going less than 8%.

I didnt try reverting back to stock lollipop rom or kernel. I think may be repeated installing or uninstalling apps including kernels may have decreased some setting in samsung which reduces the screen brightness to less than 8% just to reduce the power consumption by screen. Wish some developer can try to fix this kind of screen flickering.

I flash CM 10.1 then I want to go back to my recently done backup and it wasn't there, none of my backups but the data ware on my phone. I don't know why TWRP don't see it. I downloaded some apps to try to restore until it suddenly appeared. I restore it but some applications don't have the data. Just like if it was recently downloaded from the playstore. Even the backups from titanium. It's there but I can't do anything with it because titanium don't see it. Can any one tell me what's happening???

I look on the files on my sd card I notice that for some reason maybe I did something wrong but all my new data its being save on a file call sdcard0 and it's not on my main directory. I have to go to data/sdcard0 and there are my new information. I don't understand why that is happening it should be sdcard no sdcard0.
