[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Power_Getter:
Anyone?

I know it's a strange problem :confused:

not anly my phone even we test my friends phones HTC One & Butterfly !!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sauprankul:
3G is a very generic term. Do you mean EVDo or HSDPA or HSDPA+ or GSM or what?

When you do the speed test (use ookla) what does it tell you you are using?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Power_Getter:
Sorry I mean HSDPA+

I'm using ookla and i can see my provider there.

This happen only in my city.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sauprankul:
If it only happens in your city, then you should contact your carrier. Maybe your phone is using a different band or something.

But I severely doubt it is the phone's problem if two phones have it and it only happens in your city.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Power_Getter:
I was trying to find where is the issue, it was working fine previously and got around 12mb. Now, my note reach this speed but not htc phones, this really confusing me.

I did almost everything even trying many rom's but no change.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Power_Getter:
Forget to mention I got almost 2mb for upload wil the download not going more than .35 mb !!!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sauprankul:
See what frequencies the Note and One respectively are capable of on your carrier.

And it's really on H+, huh?

If so, I got nothing.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Power_Getter:
Yes both are running same frequencies, I know it's too complicated.

Thanks for your input.

It looks like all htc phones in my area :eek:

I will do one thing next, I will go back to 4.1.2
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Power_Getter:
Sorry to bring back this thread, but this issue is really annoying.

I tested more phones from Moto, Asus, and HTC all these phone has this problem except Samsung, LG and iPhone
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Leather Sock:
So, I've had quite a long night trying to accomplish what seems to be such an easy task for every one else. My main goal for tonight was to root my HTC One and install a custom ROM, preferably ARHD 4.3. This was unfortunately not the case. This is my first time handling anything along the lines of rooting a phone or doing anything like that.

I started off by unlocking the bootloader and then moving on to install TRWP as my custom recovery image. Once I rooted my device after that, I started looking up custom ROM's only to find out that I would need to install firmwares before I installed the ROM's, which required me to pretty much re-do every thing above.

Here's where the problems began to happen. I had to try and get my S-On to go to S-Off and I got errors everywhere. Either I got an error trying to do one guide via terminal command inside of an app on the device, or my model number didn't show up on available methods. I don't even know, all I know is I never got to actually succeed with getting my thing to S-Off, therefore I never could do any firmware installs.

I then read that the Google Edition 4.3 only needed the radio to be installed via firmware so I thought hey, I bet this ROM is perfect for me. But, then I read that you still need the firmware upgrade to be stable.

My actual question because I'm just overall sick of this and it's beginning to scare me that I've ruined my phone and I'll never get it to how it used to be;

I just want to go back to how my phone was. Factory settings across the board. However, I have no idea how to do this and the 2 backups I had in TRWP aren't showing in the recovery, however they are showing in the ES file manager within the Google Edition 4.3 ROM.

Please help, this is starting to freak me out. I had to pay $600 for this phone off contract and I made a dumb ass decision tonight.:crying:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Nick281051:
You don't have to install firmware for any custom rom and you may never have to.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Leather Sock:
Really? What exactly is firmware and why is it not needed? On the ARHD custom ROM threads, it says at the bottom that it is not needed, but recommended. I also read people's comments saying if the firmwares aren't installed, then you lose stability for your custom ROM's. Is that true and if so how?

I currently have the Google Edition 4.3 ROM and it seems to be workng fine without the Radio firmware. I just don't know what is needed and what isn't. But, my device has the bootloader unlocked, TRWP installed, fully rooted and Google Edition ROM 4.3 installed.

Am I okay?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] FanDroid09:
You are FINE, that's the same set up I have basically. Unlocked BL, Root, TWRP and sinless GE rom from the International forums. I have never touched s-off or any firmwares/radios.

I've run nearly every sense and GE rom in the One forum and never had an issue.

In theory I suppose the upgraded firmware could be better but I haven't heard of any real benefits of doing it. And have had no issues without it so it seems kinda pointless.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Leather Sock:
Oh wow, thanks a ton for the reply. That made me feel a ton better. I've been panicking about this.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] FanDroid09:
No problem... I was worried to when the firmware update came out and devs started putting little disclaimers in their posts about recommending it. I'd be willing to bet that there are more people in these forums with s-on and stock firmware flashing away without issues.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Leather Sock:
My only concern right now is that I have a tad bit lower free space now that I've made backups and flashed my ROM and such. The stock HTC One comes with 32GB but you get about 27GB~ to use. Before I did anything I'm fairly certain I had roughly 25-26GB of free space. Now I have 20GB. Could this be from the backups taking up a lot of space? I have 3.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ghostlogic:
ummmm... yes if the backups are stored on phone

backups backup everything on the phone... so you saved 5gb in copies 3 times...you're lucky they are compressed

You should really have just one copy saved on a safe pc or flash drive
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Leather Sock:
Well, when I tried to put the backups on my phone by copying and pasting them, it only pasted some of the stuff inside of it and not all of it. It was weird but it didn't let me paste all of the inside contents onto my computer.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] FanDroid09:
That's strange I've transfered backups before without issue. I would try again, it may have just been an anomaly.

I would recommend keeping at least a stock as possible backup on your phone to be safe.

Personally I keep 3 backups: a stock AT&T one, an InsertCoin Sense edition, and a SinlessROM Google edition.

The resulting space is enough for me, if your worried about space your only option is to keep the other two on your PC, not really a way around it.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Leather Sock:
Well, I have a backup that is only an unlocked bootloader + root with the stock AT&T ROM, however I don't see any possible way of putting it onto my computer since I can't access the file from my computer. Originally the backups were in the TRWM folder in the internal storage on my computer, but then they stopped showing up in the backups through TRWP so I had to move them to /data/media/TRWP instead of 0/data/media/TRWP or whatever.

I'm not sure if that makes sense because it barely does to me either.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] FanDroid09:
Ya I know there are issues with storage going from 4.1 to 4.2. I'd recommend getting a good file explorer from the play store (I recommend es file explorer) use that to find your backups... Just search "backup" using the search function if you need to. Then copy the backups somewhere you can see them with your computer like to the root of your storage. From there copy to your computer.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ZucchiniZe:
Just like fandroid I have a copy of a Stock GPe 4.3 and an Stock AT&T version backup on a usb drive that i keep safe and as for the firmware and s-off/s-on at first i had a little trouble with getting s-off but i tried it 3 or so more times then on the the 2nd or 3rd time (I can't remember) it worked and i got the new firmware and it has been all good for me.

I have a LG optimus G E970 factory unlocked(originally AT&T) which i'm using in India(country).

I wanted to know Whether by installing a custom ROM for this forum will re-lock the device?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] endeavor2908:
it shouldn't

I don't think so no, I've installed ROMS on factory unlocked devices such as LG P500, P970 (P970 not E970), P720 and they all continued unlock.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjraider:
No can't both phones are different.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lei M:
when you replace everything that is in it..

maybe

if you mean that you give a 9000 PCB in 9001. if you replace many things you will then have a 9000.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mchandu:
hey i want to replace this part ,andi want to use the phone as i9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkknigh_t:
Sorry for a stupid question but whats wrong with the i9000 you bought? Since your i9001 is hardbricked could you maybe fix it with JTAG then?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] käsebr0t:
I don't think replacing the motherboard will work. AFAIK i9000 and i9001 have different cameras, light sensors, etc. so it will be very unlikely that you'll get a working device. But why don't you just use your i9000?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giebas:

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] sanris:
I am working on a project with Hall Sensor in Samsung Galaxy S4. It works fine but the problem is i dont know how to use the sensors for realtime apps except smart sview. If you post the idea's then we can use my hall sensor class with the activity app to create variety of apps.

Also i want to know how much magnetic force needed to activate sensor. i dont want to damage my sensor with power full magnet while testing. and couple of ideas to get low power magnets from which toys suitable for this project.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] ksenthi5:
Hi since i am seeing you working with the hall sensor, hope you can solve or suggest whats wrong in my GTi9500 India version. the S-view display comes by itself, when i am just holding the phone in my hand[ without the actual S-view cover].

Details.

My GTi9500 is just having its own back cover, nothing extra,

when i make a call and hold the phone in my hand, i can see the call screen of the s-view mode flashing for a brief and then goes back to normal. i understand that the sensor is right below the volume button, and when i am holding this area with my hand i can see this s-view display flicker.

it also happened couple of times in app drawer screen and the stock browser screen.

my phone is complete stock, i havent rooted it and changed the rom/kernel/modem.

have run the diagnostics via *#0*# Diagmode

am seeing the sensor test results are PASS>

so how can i solve this. or is this a hardware issue and do i go for a repair?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] sanris:
First you need to confirm whether the problem occurs when phone in a wooden table without surrounding by magnetic flux. Just find a better place with very magnetic field, etc and put in a wooden table and confirm whether it changes or not. In couple of days, i will release the hall sensor monitor. you can use it too to find it instead of looking into phone for long time.

Second, if it happens only in hand, then

if you wearing any magnet rings or other iron (may magnetized by flux), etc then remove it then operate the phone and confirm whether your problem is solved or not.

Hall Sensor, is a very sensitive sensor which is just below the volume buttons and few mm away from edge.

Hall Sensor working based on sensitive magnetic flux attraction. (not sure whether its south pole or north pole. i dont have testing magnet with pole identifications)

Hall Sensor activates automatically if the magnetic field is > xx (minimum) level. In S-View cover, its very very tiny magnet not easy to notice by novice users. so your phone may act abnormal when you using your rings, bracelets, etc.

--

if your phone works abnormally when in isolated wooden table and there is no high radiation towers near you then its hardware defect. you need to contact customer care service centre.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] ksenthi5:
Thanks for your feedback, lemme try this and comeback...
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] ksenthi5:
Still issues

Hi, the problem still persisted even when the phone is just in the wooden table, hence i went to service center and they changed the mother board.

[not sure whether the sensor gets changed with this], as the executives don't even have knowledge of sensors...

but with the new board also am facing the same problem.

note: i owned a S4 for three months prior to this, and was walking.using, working in the same environment. and with same environment am still there. but facing this issue only in the new phone...

what shall i do... force to get my phone replaced?????
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] sanris:
Contact customer care online and submit a complaint about malfunction of Hall sensor as well as problem persist after changing motherboard. Then go to customer care with the online complaint and ask them to replace hall sensor.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] ksenthi5:
One doubt

As am not so novice on Hardware, when you ask me to request the service technician to change the hall sensor, even after changing the motherboard, do you mean that the Change of board doesnt constitute hall sensor change?.

is that a seperate entity
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] sanris:
samsung replace the phone only if problem unable to resolve after changing parts several times. thats why i told you like that.

there is only three kind of problems.

1. sensors not working properly

2. sensors working properly but sensorhub ic(u805) or corresponding ic unable to process values from sensor and fail to send further.

3. environment makes the sensor work ubnormaly.

in motherboard it has most of sensors as well as ic's u805 , u807 & u600 .

in small piece of pcb in bottom have humidity and temperature sensors which feed data to the above ic's.

few sensors may not directly in motherboard and feed data to motherboard.

i just want to know few things

1. whats your exact problem ? (screen goes blank sometimes or do you see the mini window ). screen goes blank in two situations. 1) when samsung service receive DOOR_CLOSED event from hall sensor , 2) proximity sensor detect close objects and during call (by software program) it turn off display.

2. settings > My Device > Accessory > S View Cover - make sure this setting is disabled for you.

3. how you checked your hall sensor is malfunctioning ?

----------------------------------------------

To activate hallsensor

SIMPLY USE MAGNETIC SCREW DRIVER . see the snapshots

also pls send your email id to me in PM, i will send you some reference materials and circuits. so you can understand better.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] sanris:
see the photos to generate sviewcover door close event
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] sanris:
sorry, i just read your first message again. your problem definetly related with hallsensor (if actually available). other wise its related to magnetic sensor. i will open my s4 and confirm you whether hall sensor is in motherboard or separated OR magnetic sensor acting as a hall sensor.

problem is only with hall sensor or sensorhub ic u805. you can also check whether the aluminium frame magnetized or not by using a iron piece. and try to turn off the S View Cover feature in my display> acc... like i mentioned in previous post.

for hall sensor testing, i almost finished my new android app, i will publish it and upload into xda soon. its running as a service+activity (b'cause. when doorcloses the activity get freezed and unable to log status. it log status again only after phone wakes. so i wrote part of sensor readings in service and display report in activity) and log the status when ever the door event raises. i mean Doorclosed/DoorOpen. and you need to open the application activity and see the report with timings and door state changes.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] ksenthi5:
thanks, in the idea of getting my phone replaced, again i visited the service center today, and they have taken it for service. ok

Please let me know about both senor - magnetic and Hall sensor... whether these two are separated from motherboard or attached to it.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] vedko:
Hi,

the app works well as far as I can say. Just one request: would it be possible to have the closed cover turn the screen off instead of locking the phone?

With the phone lock set to password, the time delay between screen off (time out or using the button) and phone lock is not respected.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] gylee:
Have you released your app? I'm also curious how you receive the events from the sensor, and would be very happy if you could share the knowledge.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] LuMe96:
Hi,

I just stumbled across your thread searching for Hall Sensor.

Is your app available somewhere? Also, sorry if this is a stupid question (I'm not into Android dev), but does your app depend on Samsung / TW framework / API or does it work with alternative ROMS (CM, AOSP, PA,..)?

AFAIK those ROMs do not support the S-View, so if your solution is not tied to Samsung framework / API, this would probably help a lot of people (like myself) running non-Samsung ROMs on their S4, Note 3.

As for different uses, there might be plenty but a good idea, I think, would be to develop a Tasker plugin. This would open a lot of possibilities.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] vedko:
First, it's worth to mention I'm not involved in development of this app in any way.

One way to get the app is to install F-Droid, the alternate open source market. Then look for Hall Monitor.

The app doesn't depend on TW, it's developed from scratch. It definitely works on CM @ Galaxy S4 and should work on any device with magnetic sensor, but I didn't test it on any other device or ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] LuMe96:

Hall monitor 0.2.2 is great for use with cm11.

Just found it and it works great. I just think it has unneeded permissions. Other than that it's a great app.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] sorg:
Hall sensor is not for generic use. The sole purpose of this sensor is to handle S-View cover. State of this sensor monitored in framework and there is no way to use it in 3rd party apps. Well, unless you root and hack the ROM (which is completely different story).
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Th3DON:
I have a similar kind of problem, when i turn on mobile data or when i am on a call, the S view will flash through the screen for few milliseconds.

Any idea on this guys ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] sanris:
It seems to be there is no dedicated hall sensor in device. magnetic sensor seems to be acting as hall sensor. in samsung galaxy s4, the the samsung core framework update the hallsensor data file with wrong values mistakenly. for example, change the door to CLOSED state even the door is open due to tiny fluctuation in magnetic sensor reading. samsung need to change hall sensor value from OPEN to CLOSED only when strong magnetic field. may be they fix this in next update.

For now, there seems to be 5 solutions.

1. you can turn off S-VIEW in settings

2. replace your magnetic sensor

3. root the device and write-protect the file hall_data in system folder with value "CLOSED"

4. root the device and try to disable S-VIEW

5. try other non-samsung rom

Karthik
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] sanris:
Ofcourse i developing a alternate to s-view (last year) and hall sensor worked great. thats why i started this thread. i used the hall sensor values stored by samsung framework and then using the values we can easy to integrate into any 3rd party apps even when you disabled "S-View".

there will be only two values

OPEN

CLOSED
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] sanris:
there is no proper API so far. i know how to access hall sensor (for both samsung and non-samsung phones). if any one interested we can create a plugin/api for hall sensor for developers. i dont have time to do this myself.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] LuMe96:
Thanks a lot for your reply. Found the app in F-Droid and working fine.:good:

I think that your work would be interesting for non-TW ROM devs (CM, PA, Slim and others) so they can integrate some support of S-View Covers at least.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Th3DON:
Thanks karthik, let me try these above methods.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Th3DON:

Anyone knows about development revival of HallMonitor? Last version 0.4.2. from the author durka is from 22 Jul 2014... and manusfreedom which added several features in his fork of HallMonitor and took development up to version 2.0.2 beta doesn't seem to have added CM12(.1) support either (his last commit is quite old too, from 21 Sep 2014).

Or are there any open source alternatives?

Its because of the magnetization of the L1 screw near your magnrtometer. Open the back cover you might find a L1 screw. Just replace that and test for some time..
