[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SO_dank:
Sure it's not the cable.. if your in a position where you need to stock odin me7 you need usb.. Make sure it's not the cable although it could be phone usb is screwed due to your phone error.. you have insurance??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dolphlungegrin:
The only way I know to solve your problem is to reflash ME7 using ODIN. If you have the ME7 firmware already you can't use the TWRP or CWM recovery partitions at all. With out those operating your stuck using ODIN and your USB port. Have you tried another cable?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bretbretterson:
Yeah I've tried a couple different cables, a couple different pc's, a couple different chargers. It will only charge when it's off, connected to a pc. When turning it on "usb cable connected" flashes up top, even though it's not. When it is connected and turned on and below 15%, it tells you to connect to a power source. I searched this and low and behold, several other s4 owners are having the same issue. It started happening two nights ago after I didn't get the phone on a charger before it died, then I charged it overnight - next morning it wouldn't start up. I don't think it has anything to do with having the twrp bootloader though, because it had been on there a couple weeks and restarted more than once with no issues.

If anyone knows how to fix the usb thing, I've got...lets say a $50 reward up for grabs. Not much but it's all I can afford to not void my warranty.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dolphlungegrin:
The problem with the custom recovery partition you have on there is that it prevents you from doing a factory reset in the settings menu. At least as far as I'm aware. If mobile ODIN worked on our phones I would say download that and re-flash with the tar file on your msd card. SafeStrap might be a way to give this a try. I can't link to another forum in here but I would look into that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] IamPro:
Maybe replace the usb port yourself

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5e3r_2N15c
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bretbretterson:
Well I'm not exactly sure what did it, but I used a small flathead screwdriver to bend the connector inside the usb port up a little, as I read that can be an issue with these phones, and used an old cable from a blackberry, and one of the two let me get it connected to the pc and flashed back to the stock rom via ODIN. Still won't charge with any combination of wall chargers/cables, so I'm going to take it in to Verizon. But it's a huge sigh of relief knowing that they won't be able to claim I damaged it by putting a custom bootloader on. Thanks for the input. Hope OP gets his problems sorted also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Southern_mind:
If you were on me7 you shouldn't have been able to get twrp as your recovery. So if you are on me7 then your recovery is still stock even if you tried to flash twrp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bretbretterson:
That may have been true, I might have been trying the wrong buttons to get to recovery. Still learning some stuff. But the twrp loader definitely changed the splash and download screen enough that I needed to get it off so that no red flags will be thrown when I take it in to Verizon to have them look at it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mr Frog:
Thanks for everybody's help! I managed to connect to ODIN by pushing the usb in different ways until I got a connection and sent it back to Verizon completely stock :)
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Ahmed A. Ibrahim:
Hi,

i've bought the 8x 10 days ago and after i've activated it i got some update which pumped the OS version to 8.0.10211.204 and everytime i check for update i got the message that i'm already up to date , although the GDR2 update is available for All Unlocked Devices such mine , what may be the problem ? any other one have an unlocked device and didn't get the update yet ?

Thanks
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] cybermiguel:
I have an unlocked HTC 8X too and I still haven't got the GDR2 update and it happens the same thing to mine. What's wrong?
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] crixley:
none here either.. What's the os number for the update
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] wizaard:
There was an error in GDR2 for HTC 8X which bricked the phone (the audio chip overheated after a longer while of playing music or video and the phone got to unresponsive state, in many cases it needed to be sent to a service center). Therefore, HTC pulled the update and is now working on a fix.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] cybermiguel:
Are you sure about that? I mean... I still see people on the net getting the GDR2 update, and still getting some problems with it. Does it have to do with an update that I recently got (not gdr2) that updated the radio on my phone? Radio software version now is 1.14b.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] adityashingade:
Waiting

I have also waiting for GDR2 update..

all other lumia devices has received it ..
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Tachi91:
HTC seems to be pushing the update out again.

International 8X wasn't using it when the update first started then I checked for an update, but that was when they stopped so it said it was up to date. Earlier today I checked and it updated just fine.

It was two WP updates and an HTC update.

8.0.10327.41

8.0.10327.77

HTC Update

Radio: 1.17b

Bootloader: 0.0.3030.0(173542

So far I haven't gotten any issues, but have been using my One until now so lets see!

If anything check for an update if you havent gotten it yet, just to see.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] wizaard:
Exactly, yesterday the HTC 8X started getting GDR2 update again, apparently the sound issue is fixed (because the bootloader and firmware are higher versions in comparson with the original, buggy GDR2 for 8X). I have had no problem so far, but Data Sense is still missing. :(
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] mangojain:
I haven't got the GDR2 update yet, for my unlocked 8X in India. I had flashed the stock Asia ROM on it (although it originally had a European ROM). It was built for Orange, UK.

Firmware 1532.20.20100.707

Radio 1.13b

Bootloader 165610
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Bzaina:
I have the GDR2 update and until now, the only bug i saw is when i'm on a call, i get "SIM ERROR".. The phone stops detecting the sim card! I have to wait a few minutes until the phone recognises the card again :/
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Ahmed A. Ibrahim:
i got the update yesterday and i'm currently installing it , hope everything goes well
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] compu829:
try removing and reinserting the SIM...I think the SIM error is just a coincidence. Also, try putting a small piece of tape or two on the back of it. There were some old posts about people having issues. I put some tape on mine when I first got it and never had a problem.

Also, Lucky!!!! It still hasn't hit T-mobile Branded devices in the US :(
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Bzaina:
How do i put the tape on the sim? Can you help me?

the error is getting more frequent

edit - I tried to cover the back of the sim card, (the zone with the logo from vodafone) and i still got the error.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] Phenryth:
Finally available here in Mauritius. So far no problems. The update run well and the battery seems far better even if need some more time to be sure about that.
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] cdambati:
Omfg. Unbranded 8x in Australia and still nothing... too frustrating.
[Android Apps and Games] dimeim:
Creative idea, works well on Nexus 4, stock 4.3.

I'm assuming the "Flash duration" you have for SMS notifications is the the max amount of time the flash will blink for a new message. This isn't reflected during the "Test".

Also, don't know if it's your setting or an Android default but I like how the sliders change the values in increments of 10 and not 1.

Lastly, I am kinda concerned about making my flash blink. Any chance of damaging it?

Looking forward to new versions ;)

Not working on LG optimus 3d p920 please make It work..thanks
[Android Apps and Games] tenorntex:
Works great on Galaxy S3. 4.2.2 Illusion 2.1 ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] wwonka69:
Works Great on my Verizon S3 running Rootbox 4.2

I was thinking maybe you could make it so you could choose how many times it would flash. such as just making it flash twice or 3 times.

Just a thought.

Nice Job.

Peace
[Android Apps and Games] kroewe:
Works well on my sprint note 2 running slim bean.
[Android Apps and Games] JohnnyEpic:
Fantastic on my Sprint s3 (work) running The Peoples Rom.

Great job dev.
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
Thanks for the first feedback guys! I really appreciate it.

True, test doesn't stop unless you stop it.

Damaging flash is an issue indeed, but only when you lower the on time very much. I might add a lowest value constrain in order to be sure. Although I've never heard anyone bricking his flash.

I think I know what is the problem. Galaxy Nexus devices have the same issue too. Can you tell me if something works? Call test, Message Test, Call receive etc??

Nice one. I will add it to the wishlist.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] SystemErrorOne:
Hey there ive been reading up on your progress with caller flashlight and i think your doing a great job.

I do graphics & some UI design so... I saw the opportunity and made an icon for you. I hope you like it tell me what you think! :laugh:

[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
WoW man!! I really appreciate it, since i am pretty bad at design and such staff. Thank you and I am definetly replacing the current icon with yours. While searching for an icon I was trying to find something that combines fash and calling but I couldn't find any. If you have any thoughts you are more than welcome!

Cheers mate, take care!
[Android Apps and Games] SystemErrorOne:
Not a problem (: I am always available to assist ANYONE & if you want

I can try and incorporate a new design with a phone and a flash light (:

Hi, like it sofar!

any chance of adding the possibilty to link it with the volume of the phone (like when the volume is set on "silent", the Caller Flashlight will take over)?

Thanks:thumbup:

[Android Apps and Games] flying_dutchman:
Thanks for the update. So far all OK, but rapidly tested only. Will keep you posted if anything's wrong.

Keep up the good work
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
You mean it doesn't work if phone is either locked or unlocked? Because this setting does just that, it disables flashing if phone is unlocked...

Thank you too for the support!!

Hmmm, what security do you use (slider, pattern, none etc...).

Here it works ok... :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] cd69:
No security. I use dynamic notifications, probably that's conflicting. But not a big deal at all just thought I will let you know.

[Android Apps and Games] corrob:
After the latest update, it flashes when I'm sending a text. Can that be turned off or is it a glitch?
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
I also use dynamic notifiaction and this app and had never - really never a problem with both apps!

---------- Post added at 12:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

You mean SMS? no problem here, but use not the beta - latest Play Store...
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
The thing is that if you set security to "none" the phone never locks, so combined with the "flash only if phone locked" preference, flash will not work. I don't no how dynamic notification works but if you are able to set the security settings to slider, pattern or password etc all will be good.

Thank you sir :)!

I use Handcent for sms and I'm using the latest version of callflash on the play store. It only started happening when I updated to v3.4.
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
Have you enabled the "sent notification" on handcent? The way Callflash works with third party apps is through the notifications they through. So this may trigger the flash...

[Android Apps and Games] trialsrider1:
Hey Spiro, I've used your app for quite awhile now and love it. Recently I have changed to Oppo N1 and the app will not pick the stock sms app and flash on incoming message. I didn't think it would be an issue but it doesn't work. Anything you might know to get it to work? The flash itself works from testing.
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
Hmmm, I have an idea which works on my phone. Try to deselect Handcent app from CallFlash app list and check if it works properly only when receiving sms. In addition can you tell me the Android version you have?

Interesting... tell me your android version please. Flash on calls works ok?
[Android Apps and Games] trialsrider1:
It's 4.2.2. I'm not sure if oppo added their own stuff to the mms or not. I haven't tested calls yet. I don't usually use it.
[Android Apps and Games] corrob:
When I did that, it didn't work at all. I'm on Android 4.3.
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
Can you try this solution?

Go to Handcent → Settings → Application Settings → Default Messaging application -> Disable.

Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
I've recogniced a change in flash behavior. With latest version in settings - flash test: the flash is shown first as light only (means do not flash only light on) and starts flashing after 2 sec. Behavior the same for testing call and message. This is new, had this never in the past. Nothing changed in my settings and did a reboot as always after new update.

You are welcome. I have not any in my mind right now, that I really feel is needed. For now I am trying to make the UI more polished, and fix all existing bugs. I found a nasty one yesterday so expect an update later today.

Searched thru entire thread, but didn't find answer to my problem,

I am running 4.2.2 a nexus ported ROM for MTK device.

your app flashes only One time just before the audio ring starts, tried with enable the Accessibility Service too.

however "Test" works fine with all 3 available modes.

Am I missing something ?

works fine on SIM2 on dual sim phone

tried previous version (i think 3.6 from playstore), then was using some older available on this thread it was 3.5

Just updated and found the reason.

I am using a dual sim phone and when a call comes on 1st SIM the flash works only once just before the ringing starts

while the flash flashes as per flashing rate set in app, EXCELLENTLY, when call comes to SIM 2

it might be a bug or it might be not 2 sim ready which is acceptable.
[Android Apps and Games] spirosbond:
Hmmm, interesting but I haven't a dual sim phone available. Just one quick question. Have you enabled the "disable with volume buttons" option (under call notification settings). If yes, try to disable it.

Cheers

[Android Apps and Games] ghpk:
No I haven't enabled that option "disable with volume buttons"

Cooking a new feature right now (as an option of course):

- Turn on screen on recceiving a notification (including SMS).

What do you think?

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] popouser:
That would be really useful because some apps enable the screen but some others don't. I think I will use it! Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Nice idea, but a lot of ROMs / users use services / apps like Active notification/ Dynamic notification so they don't need an additional feature for that.

But if someone do not have such a Rom or app and only use Call Flash it's quite a good feature. ;)

I have a stock Sprint Note 2. I wanted to thank you for the app, because the reason I looked for this app because whenever I listen to music (I use headphone jack to listen to stock music player through radio in my car) it resets all my ringtones (I have 3 custom ones for certain people) to silent, and they don't even vibrate. This app allows me to know when those 3 people especially, (and others...) call or text me, which is something I must know, and can be a problem at night if I forget to check the settings after listening to music.

Thanks very much!!

In addition, L is not officially released yet so the app is not compiled with the Android L toolchain, which might cause problems.

Hi, I'm Alex. First of all.... great app. Many thanks to you.

I've a ZOPO ZP980 . The notification works like a charms but I can't be able to have it working properly with the calls.

When I receive a call, my screen turn on and I can see who is calling.

So, if I set in options "Locked screen", I've only 1 flash and not more (becouse the screen turn on).

If I set "Unlocked screen", I've no flash at all. Any chance to use it?
