[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blackra1n:
So I updated my phone accidentally to ME7 Build and apparently there isn't a custom recovery for this build yet because of its locked bootloader. Is it possible to install a ROM without using a custom recovery? I want to install a few ROMs that I like from the forums. Can anyone confirm this with me? :confused:

Hi, my gps wont lock at all, and I've tried various apps that help fix gps but none worked for me. Was thinking if its possible to just copy and paste stock gps.config to my phone directly to see if it works.

I'm from Singapore so it'll be great if anyone has a working gps that can provide me with file. FYI its found in system/etc.

If anyone knows of any other ways to fix their gps it'll be great to let me know too. The most I could achieve with all the tweaks is that my phone could see up to 6 sats, but does not lock on at all.

Thanks a lot! :)

I Can't use my S4 any more :(. I was wondering if it was because I had a locked bootloader, but the I337M varient should be unlocked right?

Kingo root does not trip knox. Im rooted with kingo and my knox is 0x0. When running kingo, if it asks you if you want to use odin or cf root method say no and close kingo and try again. Sometimes takes a few tries. Im 4.3 rooted on i377m and both knox codes are 0x0

Also, nobody knows the future implications of a tripped knox flag, sammy could simply add a check to ota upgrades to block upgrade of tripped flags. Easy peasy. Use kingo. You also cannot run a custom kernel or custom recovery if you want to keep knox untripped. I use 4.3 stock with xposed, and wanam to restore my official status and keep ota updates.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hubriss:
Hi all,

It seems that my journey to revive my phone( [Q] Xperia Z:Bricked after turning Wi-Fi On. ) has almost come to a dead end.

After flashing various stock ROMs,basebands,kernels etc the phone just refuses to work.

Restoring the TA partition has not helped in restoring it back to normal either.

Somehow I get a feeling that all this has something to do with the IMEI & baseband gone missing.

Even after doing an extensive research on this forum on how to reinstall IMEI & baseband,there seems to be no perfect answer to it.

The few who managed to get IMEI & Baseband after they went missing are ones who either had a complete backup done before losing IMEI & baseband or ones who were lucky enough to get it work with a TA partition restore.

For whom TA partition restore did not work(I have seen a few on this forum) & for those who did not have a TA backup & IMEI and Baseband gone missing after firmware update,there seems to be no workaround.

It would also seem that since the device is fairly new,even the devs & Xperia Z enthusiasts have still to come up with a way of restoring them.

Until then, the case of missing IMEI & Baseband is a lost cause & there is no hope for revival for those folks whose device suffer from it.

Regards

An Xperia Z owner who has (almost) given up.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UncleMike:
I've been using an Otterbox Defender on my GSM Nexus for over 1 year and have had 5 warranty claims in that time. One claim was from a drop (the inner plastic got crushed, but the phone came away without a scratch). All other were for the belt clip or the clip that holds the top of the phone in breaking. Their customer service has been great, honoring all warranty claims without question. The last claim was even past the warranty period, but they happily replaced the broken holster anyway, and even sent a new silicone layer for no reason. That said, I've never really been happy with the fit of the case; it's designed for the CDMA model which is 0.5mm thinner, allowing the phone to slide around in the case and preventing the built-in screen protector from sitting on the screen properly. In fact, when I first got it, it would take about 20 attempts before I could pull down the notification shade. Regardless, I can't expect them to keep replacing parts on an out-of-warranty case, so I started doing my research (that I originally did) all over again, and ended up with the Seidio Conver Combo.

The fit of the Seidio Convert is excellent - what the Defender should have been all along; and I LOVE the screen responsiveness with a separate screen protector. But I have a few questions about the Seidio Convert:

Do the port covers (USB and headphone) stay closed long term? I'm concerned that the only thing keeping them closed now is their natural shape, and that after months of use the port covers will have a new natural shape after being pushed out of the way by connectors in the ports.

The case seems much less "grippy" than the Otterbox. Has anyone found this to be a problem in actual use?

What do you use as a car mount? I'm currently using this (mofified to fit the Defender), but I don't think I can modify it enough to fit the Convert case (the overall case thickness is slightly more).

Thanks for any help.

There might be. If you enabled it before you sold it.

Go to google.com and then go to the google play store.

Click the little gear on the upper right side. and then click android management.

When there, there is an option to remotely wipe the phone.

However, you must have enabled it on the phone before you sold it.

This is the only way, unless you physically have the phone or nicely ask the guy. Otherwise, just change your google password.
