It's a pain having to switch rooms all the time to use the remote feature, i never use the included tv programming stuff. Is there a better app for adding and managing remotes than Samsung's WatchOn?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
Theres really not alot of choices out there and the ones that are on the store have mostly bad reviews. I would search "universal remote" on the play store and see If theres anything that piques your interest.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jaxon01:
Smart Remote For Samsung Galaxy S4 by Color Tiger is awesome if you can find it. I don't know why, but it is not available in the Play Store anymore. Works on tv, cable box, satellite receiver, dvr, dvd and blu ray players, Roku, heating/ac thermostats, etc.....

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Ogawa:
I've been wondering, why don't people share their nandroid backups? Before applying their apps and personal info.

With all the different variations, and their respective how to installs (many with very specific orders) wouldn't be easier to just share nandroids with clearly labeled configs.

Is is privacy, file size, efficacy? Do tell...

Just some Friday night thinkin...

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RedInuYasha:
Wrong section.

But I'd imagine that privacy is a huge issue with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Ogawa:
Whoops, wasn't sure where to ask. Suggestion?

I was thinking privacy, but wouldn't a wiped version without any 3rd party apps do the trick?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
That would be like sharing underwear...NO THANX!

There are way too many differences between nandroids to make sure they would work perfectly on everyone's phone. Listing the Configs would be impossible because most users don't even know how their ROMs are configured to begin with...they just flash them and go.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] KennyG123:
Mostly it is because of the size, but I have seen it done to rush out root on a device. Once a root method is obtained, why would you share the much larger nandroid (without data of course) rather than clean flash the ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
Also take into account that some people don't have the exact same recoveries. Nandroids don't always play well unless it is restored via the same exact recovery.

Also, some people have different sized devices. 16, 32, etc. Those size differences will more than likely be encoded into the Nandroids and could cause potential issues.

I prefer a 100% clean install where I know what exactly is in the ROM. A Nandroid just doesn't seem to make sense.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Faceless:
Hi,

I have Galaxy S3 running CM10.1 Siyah Kernel (problem has occured over several months of various CM10.1 nightlies) and I just cannot figure out why the following is happening. Please read the thread carefully because I've ensured that every sentence contains details which should be important clues to the root of the problem.

Sometimes following reboot, the phone

completely refuses to read my memory card

. In this state, the phone does not give me the Unmount option, but when I remove the memory card directly then it does show the 'Removed SD card in the' notification. Now if I insert it again, it shows

'Preparing SD card'

in the notification and this notification doesnt go away by itself (which it should if the mount is successful) and the card does not mount. This situation does not change no matter how many times I repeat the process. After several attempts, I get the ongoing

'Damaged SD Card'

notification. Dozens of reboots dont help either.

After loads of trial-and-error's, I have concluded that almost everytime that this issue has occurred was when the

memory card was in-use

(playing songs etc. Accessing anything off the memory card basically), although on rare occasions it has also occurred when no apps were in use at all. This gets me to believe that the software is failing to properly release some kind of lock on the memory card before rebooting.

Now the

only way

to get the memory card working again on the cellphone is to put it in my laptop

memory card reader

, and it can instantly read the memory card. Now if I safely remove the memory card from my laptop and insert it in the S3, then it

always mounts on the first go

. Now it will work perfectly again, until some completely random time (usually at least 1 week away) when it will start its problem again.

Also note that whenever this problem occurs,

Developer Options does not load and crashes

.

I want to reiterate that this is

not repeatable

each time. Even if the conditions are exactly the same (well, as far as I can see as an end user anyway), the problem will very likely just occur in just 1 out of the 50 attempts.

I have already got the memorycard+sim card slot replaced from samsung under warranty. I have also paid extra to buy the SanDisk memory card from SanDisk themselves based in the Czech Republic - so it is

extremely unlikely that it is hardware fault

.

Can anyone shed some light on this situation? Feel free to ask for any clarifications, I have tried to put as much information as possible.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Make a nandroid, flash a stock rom and test again. Format the card using sd formatting tool first.

If that cures it then ask your kernel or rom chef for help.
[HTC One X] myrigon:
I have just noticed that I have no sound when making/receiving calls, on the phone speaker or on headset. I've tried full clean install of a different rom and kernel, but the problem persists. All other sounds are fine. Not sure what could be causing this. Has anyone else had the same issue at some point?

For info, both roms were sense 5 based roms.

**for further info, the call speaker works perfectly in the htc function test.***

**further edit**

There's nothing wrong with my phone! It was my bleeding home signal box!

My apologies if anyone has been scratching their heads over this!!!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eladnava:
Hey all,

I recently started porting the Music Player app from stock Samsung firmware (Galaxy S4) to all ROMs including CyanogenMOD.

It was a real challenge because obviously it required combining the TouchWiz interface into the MusicPlayer APK since CyanogenMOD doesn't have those frameworks and the music player app depends on them.

Once I was able to successfully port the Music Player app and open it on my CM10.2, I ran into a different problem.

The Music Player app depends on some system shared libraries (/system/lib) which Samsung has included in their stock roms but are not present in CyanogenMOD or other custom roms. These libraries are needed in order for the MusicPlayer app to play music and for SoundAlive to work.

However, I don't really know which libraries to copy over in order to make it work. The documentation on SoundAlive on the Internet is really limited.

Has anyone had any experience with porting SoundAlive to their own ROM and knows which libraries are needed?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eladnava:
Bump?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MemoryController:
Try grep'ing the whole Sammy rom for that symbol and its demangled name.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eladnava:
Thank you, I was able to completely solve the crash!

Does anyone know which libraries to port over for SoundAlive? I found "libsoundalive.so", tried it but it probably isn't enough.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BROKEN1981:
Did you ever get this to work?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eladnava:
Nope, I gave up and installed a ROM based on Samsung's firmware that has been restyled to look like CyanogenMOD. Armagrddon was the name of the ROM for SG S2. It came with SoundAlive preinstalled.

I'm now on Nexus 5 with VIPER for Android as the sound mod.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tanmoy Mitra:
HEY DON'T GIVE Up...

Let me tell you what you'll need.

For Framework :- secvisualeffects.jar , samsung_library_music.jar, and ofcourse Framework or sec framework.jar (which you need to decompile,port,recompile)

For things to get around, go to /system/etc/permissions and copy something like secvisualeffect.xml and samsung_library_music.xml

And finally the libs (not complete,maybe more)

At /system/lib search libmysound.so, libsoundalive_resampler.so, all .so files which has samsung music or music written in it.....

And finally /system/etc/audio_effects.conf, audio_policy.conf files......(if you mod Cyanogenmod's audio effect file, the DSP manager will stop working or generate conflict)

Better download a zip file and decompile to get all libs..

Search google or xda for (fixed) Sounalive port S5 Music player and there you go

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaggleFraggles:
So I was trying to root my mother's samsung galaxy s 3 using the toolkit version 7.0.0.

I only backed up internal storage and apps. I forgot to do a nandroid back up before I tried the all in one.

On the toolkit, her device wasn't completely supported. It's JZO54K. Android 4.1.2 and it's sprint lte. Her build number wasn't there.

So the guy OP in the toolkit says to use the one closest to you. So I used international 4.1.2 JZO54K.

I got to the odin part, it failed the first time. So I restarted everything. Then tried again. It said RESET as the toolkit said it would. But it was blue instead of green. I though he just made a mistake in the toolkit so I closed it. But it never restarted like it said it would. So I tried to turn on the s3 and it wouldn't do anything. I did a battery pull and tried again. It just flashed samsung for about a second and disappears. Then does absolutely nothing. I tried going into download and recovery mode. Neither worked. Just flashing "samsung" for a second and does nothing.

Help me! This is my mom's device that she wanted me to root and she needs it to work.

UPDATE! I can get it into download mode but nothing else

I know that in TWRP recovery there is an option to acces USB OTG. I have one of those little adapters that I connect to my flash drive to save my nandroids and stuff like that. If you wiped your INTERNAL and EXTERNAL storage would you simple be able to mount the USB OTG and flash a ROM from it?

New question: How do I sync contacts stored on the device to Google? When creating a brand new contact on the phone it asks where you want to save it, but for contacts that are imported via Bluetooth you have no choice as to where they are saved. Thus, I have contacts on the device I want uploaded to Google and can't figure out how to do that.

--Original Post--

Ok, this is a silly question. I have a second S4 which is for work. I have a gmail account specifically for that device (Google Apps corporate stuff as seen HERE), it syncs with my office outlook, etc. That said, I have a number of contacts on my personal S4 which I had been using until I got the company S4 which I want to now send to the work S4 so I can delete them from my personal S4.

Now then, what I want to happen is to be able to send the contact, have it upload to Google, and be done (thus also syncing with my Outlook in my office, etc). What I tried was to open contacts, menu/import/export/share namecard via/Bluetooth and sent them via Bluetooth. That worked, they show up in my contact list just fine, and they are stored on the device. Problem is, they don't seem to upload to Google.

Once (if?) they do, I want to be able to delete them from the device so they are ONLY stored on Google. Will deleting them from the device also delete them from Google again? How would I resolve this conflict if so? I don't want to sit and manually type all these contacts out into Google via web browser (or the phone) to have them sync down to the phone. One would think there would be another way...

Silly questions, I know. But hey, maybe someone has done this before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lagunas11:
I don't exactly remember where it is but if you're using the stock rom if you go to settings (don't know where it really is) there's some feature that allow you to do that, contacts msgs etc.. Its not group play but it's similar to it.. If you're using the stock rom then look for it kuz that's one of the things I first saw when I got the s4...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 02CWRX:
Ok, so I ended up just sending all the contacts via Bluetooth since I needed them. That works fine, however they still haven't uploaded to Google. Web searching reveals lots of people with this issue.

New question: How do you force sync contacts stored on the device to Google?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
Settings->Accounts->Google->your account->Sync now should work.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
Try this

Select all the contacts that's on device and export it to sd card.

Now chose import from sd card and select which gmail account to import to.

The phone will scan the sd card and should pick up the file you exported earlier.

Edit: I just make up a bunch of contacts and save it to my device. Did the export to sd and import to my gmail account and it sync.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 02CWRX:
You're a genius. Since this is a work phone and didn't come with one, I had no SD card in it and obviously didn't want to spend my own money on one for it, thus the export to SD wasn't an option listed. I took the old SD card from my Sensation 4G, did as you suggested, and it worked. Thanks so much!

The only downside was that since I had so many contacts, I got a couple errors that I was trying to do too many at once. Hopefully it all panned out, I will be able to check Monday at the office. I am hoping the new contacts added here will sync down to my Outlook at work, but I think they will.

Thanks again!

EDIT: Everything worked fine. Thanks again!
