anybody has yahoo mail notification working on their phone? I tried it on 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 and it never notified me if I have new email. In fact, you have to go into the yahoo mail and manually check for new mail messages. Do you think it's the app problem or there is some settings somewhere?

I changed the notification settings in yahoo mail. I uninstalled and reinstalled it. I uncheck and check the notification in manage apps. Nothing I do works. I googled it but nobody seems to know why.

Rooted phone, repaired IMEI, unlocked, then no service. Flashed stock firmware, still nothing. Flashed stock kernel, nothing. Am I missing something here? Any help would be great. Also found out I have no wifi either.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Airplane mode?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] razor1:
LOL, no, there would be an airplane instead of the circle and line.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I've seen it both ways. Can't remember which Rom it was that had the circle showing instead.

Try disabling mobile data, reboot, then reenable.

What is your model and baseband? Which firmware and kernel did you flash?

You may need to Odin flash the firmware.

---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 PM ----------

Also try enabling and disabling airplane mode.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Also try cleaning that laptop. :laugh:

Where did you get the device? Check the SIM card? Why did you need to repair the IMEI; what happened? A little background would be nice.

I have had this prob 2 times both times my imei was blocked by T-Mobile and they never know why call Tmo make sure

Triple check that you entered the correct imei when you fixed it.

Good point on that kitila.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] razor1:
Somehow it is all connected, no signal, no wifi. I have changed the IMEI 3 times thinking it was bad or entered incorrectly. I soft bricked it messing with a rom and lost the IMEI . T999UVALEM_T999TMBALEM_T999UVALEM_HOME.tar.md5 is what i have flashed. Right now it is stock, no root, or CWM. Original IMEI is in the phone, still no wifi or signal.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iKlutz:
It plays games well enough for me.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tony_Starkus:
Nova 3, GTA, Gangstar, Minecraft, Iron Man. All games worg on Stock work on CM10.1 ?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaDiS234:
Yes I played all games you listed on CM10.1 and its okay I also played Modern Combat 4 with just a little lag but its same on Stock

Had this ROM installed, played every game i wanted without problems.

My favorites: Plauge inc., Einstein's Riddle, Atomic Bomber
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tony_Starkus:
I'll play a lot in S3 mini, the cm10.1 this good for gaming or CM10.1 and better? If you are CM10.1 same sewed the stock has no problem, you guys have any link cm10.1 without bug? Or that I posted and the best?

Thank you for helping me
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AssToast:
i don't play that many graphics intensive games on my s3 mini but S Advance which has like the same hardware as our s3 mini can play games smoother on stock rom compared to my s3 mini CM10.1
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tony_Starkus:
Sorry, but it was not clear to me, the games in question (who I quoted above for example) run in cm10.1? The Cm10.1 this better than stock in a matter of heavy games like gangstar, GTA and N.O.V.A 3, or stock and better to run heavy games ?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AssToast:
Yes they can run in CM10.1, as long you are using android you can run it, CM10.1 will be better for games but it is subjective as you may have other apps running in the background which slows down your device
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tony_Starkus:
But still remains better than stock. Thanks to everyone who helped me. If one ouver CM10.1 without bug please pass me.

Thank you for the help.

I play a lot of games on my CM10.1
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] momsi:
I guess no ROM is "notably better" for any game, there might be some slight effect due to how the ROM manages memory etc... but in the end the hardware remains the same, no matter what ROM you install.

I've had so many ROMs and so many games, but in the end you don't really notice a difference in gaming performance (as long as the ROM itself isn't buggy and laggy, of course).
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iKlutz:
I can vouch for this to and I agree although management of running apps and services helps with smoothness.
[Nook Touch General] unfriendlymoose:
Hello, I just purchased a Nook Simple Touch and I'm looking to find a decent guide for rooting and installing Android onto it. I have found a few guides, but a lot of them seem out-dated and no longer relevant. I would like to be able to play Gameboy emulators on it.

Any links, tips or thoughts would be helpful. Thank you!
[Nook Touch General] cowbutt:
Actually, the Nook already runs Android. Rooting just installs a few more apps and Android components to make it more general purpose device.

I'd suggest updating to 1.2.1 (if you haven't already) then using NookManager and NTGApps Attack from http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1201. Register it with B&N before rooting, then use a Class 6 or slower SD card, make a backup, and verify it.

Don't get your hopes up re. emulators; the NST is quite a low-end device. I'd suggest only using it for ebook-reading-like activities.
[Nook Touch General] unfriendlymoose:
Thanks, I appreciate it. Although why would I use a SD card lower than a Class6 card?
[Nook Touch General] cowbutt:
The kernel has a bug with Class 10 (and faster) cards to become inaccessible until the next reboot. That would be a bad thing to happen if you were in the middle of backing up/restoring/rooting. You might not trigger it, but if you do, recovery could be a pain.
[General Questions and Answers] Syndromeofadown:
After having flashed a new ROM, when I lock my device (BLU Studio 5.3S/ K-Touch S100 Titan), it switches to negative color mode. It stays that way until a reboot, upon which it promptly returns to the negative mode after the first lock. My question is, Is there a way to disable negative colors on a root level so that this cannot happen?
[General Questions and Answers] Syndromeofadown:
a toggle switch? Script? Kernel mod? -- anything at this point would help me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rikairchy:
Managed to wipe my EFS partition while trying to factory unlock my Galaxy S4 SCH-i545.

I had an IMEI of all 0's. I used EFS Pro change my IMEI to match that of the sticker under my battery. I managed to connect to the mobile network again, but this time as data/voice roaming. I have also backed up my /efs folder to my SD card. I used ODIN to use a .PIT file to repartition, and a stock Galaxy S4 image to do a full factory restore. I then re-rooted and installed CWM using the I545 All-In-One Tool. The phone was then in Factory/Test mode. I used Rom Toolbox's Root Browser go to /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode. I then changed it from "OFF" to "ON," removing the Factory Mode display after a reboot.

However, I am still unable to get 4G, still data roaming, and still unable to use the phone as I normally did. I no longer have a copy of the original /efs folder, as it was lost during the ODIN restore. Any way I can restore full use of my phone?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] doom82:
I'm in the same boat. I didn't explicitly delete my EFS partition. I simply backed it up using Hyperdrives Aroma prior to installation. My phone has these connection issues also. Are you certain EFS is responsible? I'm not sure how I managed to corrupt it with a backup. Moreover my IMEI wasn't reset. I can't find the backup on my phone either. Was on the phone with tech support for an hour last night to no avail. Please let me know if you figure out how to fix it. I'll keep you posted as well. I just order a new sim card
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rikairchy:
I'm certain EFS is responsible.

Currently working on a way to use another phone's /efs folder, after the proper modifications, in my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trueagle:
I did this. Do a factory reset through settings menu on phone. It reset and bingo
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vhd99:
found a solution ? got same problem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rikairchy:
Since my original post, I have obtained a copy, obtained via dd using ADB while the phone was in recovery. It has not fixed the issue. Rather, the IMEI was again reset to 0 after the restoration. Getting a new SIM card has not helped, either. I'm about to restore everything using an ODIN image to complete stock, and send the unit in for repair.

EDIT:

Here are the things I've tried so far:

I have also tried flashing the ME7 radio firmware, to see if that could do something. So far, nothing.

I have edited the serial_no in the efs folder, no luck as well.

I may restore the bootloader to factory, and update to the ME7 build to see if that can fix the issue.

Restored mmcblk0p10, mmcblk0p13, mmcblk0p14, and mmcblk0p15 with clones from known-good devices obtained via dd when the phone was in recovery.

Used DFS to push a PRL and change the IMEI to the correct one.

Tried EFS Pro to restore an EFS backup made from another phone.

Repartition via a PIT file.

Factory restore of VRUAMDK via ODIN.

Flashed VRUAME7 radio firmware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] doom82:

EFS problem?

I'm not sure if I'm having a similar EFS problem...

I factory restored then rooted with the all in 1 kit. Periodically I see a message and big red X that says "please install sim card"

I'm getting a terrible delay from hitting call to when it actually connects - sometimes it won't connect at all. I have to reboot phone to get voice calls but data works fine, which makes me think its not EFS...

sound familiar to anyone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rikairchy:
Then why post in a thread about EFS issues?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] huffbuck:
By ruling things out, I can focus on other areas.

Since that didn't work, it appears the purpose of the post and its title are merely to give your life meaning...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rikairchy:
I thought you had already eliminated the EFS as an issue. It sounds like you need a new SIM card. My phone did that before I received a new one
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] n0ah_fense:
EFS Problem here also

I have a similar problem. I can surf the web in 4G and on Wi-Fi, but when I attempt to make a call, I get "Service Unavailable" and all my inbound calls go to voicemail. So, no voice calls for me. I called verizon, and they gave me a new SIM, but I still have the same issue.

IMEI and IMEI SV match the back of the phone:

Fix:

> Settings > Accounts > Backup and reset

> Factory data reset
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] huffbuck:
i restored back to stock. verizon sent me a new sim and refurb phone.

installed the new sim in old phone and it said could not activate...

thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] n0ah_fense:
Restoring back to stock by loading the original image (unrooting) did NOT work for me.

Restoring to defaults via settings cured my problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rikairchy:
I have also done a full reset via the OS, the recovery menu, ADB, and restoring the update firmware using ODIN
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rikairchy:
Bumping for any help anyone can provide...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Odin packages do not fix the efs partition. The efs partition is where the phone's information is stored. Like your unique imei number. Without said number the phone cannot be activated at all. There are paid services available that will fix it for a fee(Don't pm me... You have Google. Use it)

You can try to do an nv data reset but I doubt that will work either because that relies on the idea that you just messed up something in your NV data and not fully deleted the partition.

To do nv data reset you need to get into your touchwiz hidden menu. Can't access hidden menu? You need to enable it(Google).

Hidden menu is huge with tons of submenus. I won't be walking you through any of it specifically. But here are some dialer codes. For more... Google.

*#06# shows if your IMEI is still there

*#1234# show hardware and software version

*#*#4636#*#* test mode. Set preferred network mode. Enable disable radio. Change band. Etc

*#7780# and *2767*3855# factory reset

*#197428640# and *#0011# and *#9090# and *#2263# and *#27663368378# service menu (through this you can generally access the entire hidden menu by hitting menu button and selecting back until you are at the root of the menu)... Navigating said menu is on YOU.

*#2263# rf band select

*#7284# UART MODEM PDA selection

Not trying to be giant **** or anything but that's why there are EFS warnings&posts. Also why some root users shouldn't really have root( / ) access.

I'm in a similar situation.

Empty EFS folder (No Backup)

Because of this it is stuck in Factory Mode.

I was able to freeze factory mode through TiBu but the only things i haven't been

able to fix are my lock screen and power menu. (no lock screen/power menu)

I've tried every fix i was able to dig up on here but no luck. :\

Any suggestions would be appreciated
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rikairchy:
I have a new Galaxy S4 on the way. I'll use that to modify the EFS files on my current phone. Hopefully that works out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] StifflerServices:
question, doing the phone setting reset, were you running a custom rom or stock? also you said it fixed your calling issue which is what im having, i noticed that my PRL is not showing at all as it did. so if doing this "settings reset" my other concern is does it keep you on the same rom (custom or stock), or should i be back to stock to do it? and will it try to update me to the new ME7 after reseting? which i dont want it to do because Im running Hyperdrive 8 and was going to update to the 9.1 and ME7 isnt all ready for FLASHING. Can you step me thru the process of keeping me on MDK while correcting this post unlock issue. Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] n0ah_fense:
I was running a custom ROM (Hyperdrive). I tried resetting everything to stock/unrooted, but with no success, as I was still unable to make/receive calls. You can always go back to stock and refuse updates -- these instructions are elsewhere.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] StifflerServices:
UPDATE: OOPS im sorry i didnt see you replied to my other post before posting this one. Ok so looks like you were running the same as me then. ok so just stay on my current "Hyperdrive 8" Rom and do the Factory Reset. I am just wondering tho if you flashing back to stock helped you in this process even tho you restored to the Hyperdrive rom and did the Reset. But this will keep me rooted and on hyperdrive correct? I will just have to restore apps and log in to sync contacts, calender reminders, etc, afterwords to get personal info back correct?.

ORIGINAL B4 seeing your replay: I was wondering if you could help me, I am having the same issue with the no calls being recieved or outgoing. but data and text are fine. althought i do get a message pop up that says "no signal found for mobile networks" but i just hit "ok" and it will send. I also recive a message when trying to call "Mobile network not available" and then it goes back to the contact screen. You said that doing a "Factory reset" thru setting menu got yours to work, but can you tell me if you werel on a custom rom or did you revert back to stock before doing so? I was and still am running Hyperdrive 8 when this started. (my fault messing w some system files - if you know what i mean) so if you could tell me more info on what you were running or prior steps, it would help ease my mind on doing this to know it will work on my phone as well. thanks

No Radio, likely EFS folder problem now SOLVED - Note 2 SCH-i605, thanks S4 users

[edited for accuracy] I have no idea how long I've been overlooking this feature or if it just hasn't been in the previous ROM's I've used... This did the trick. I elected not to select the backup option (I rely on Titanium Pro on extSD) but I don't see why that would effect the fix.

I had tried all the methods mentioned previously in this thread short of manually editing any files, and lots of different firmware flashes as suggested on most other broken-GN2-radio-threads. Restored successfully on a galaxy note 2 SCH-i605 running AllianceROM build 26, previously no radio (text and 4G worked at first and then failed after removing/rebooting/re-inserting SIM, no calls).

I think I accidentally mounted the EFS folder while exploring CMW for the first time before the radio started acting up. There's no google-trail I could find to this solution to my problem with a note 2 - too simple maybe? I hope someone finds this useful.

SO,

My computer is older than dirt, and once again took a $H1T on me.

After reloading everything, I tried to install my wallaby drivers, and resync.

NO.

I get the following error (see attatched)(I'm not sure how to insert images).

Realize that I might be having USB problems. Usually I have to go to "find new hardware" in order for my wallaby to be detected. Just inserting it to the cradle does nothing for com/sync. Also, I did mod the cradle to charge and sync. Please help me.... I really want to upgrade to SE, but cant get a connection.

If someone would upload the WCEUSBSH inf, cat, and sys files, please, I'll give'm a shot and see what happens.
