[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bbrita:
im using twrp first i tried to factory reset, caches that didnt work i formated internal storage same problem everything works great untill i restart the phone then wont go past boot screen. like its not reading the internal drive even did fix permisions and wiped caches after install. Also i used the updated su to flash after still problems, beyond me no problems with older ones or tw just the 4.3 roms
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BlueWVU:
I, also, am having this very same issue. I'm honestly surprised that noone else seems to have run across this issue.

Installing is never an issue, running is never a problem, but if I ever reboot, if a ROM reboots itself, I'm left stuck at the GalaxyS4 splash screen, and the only way out it to Wipe everything and reinstall.

I see youre posting from an S3, I am using an AT&T S4.

Clearly, the issue is related to 4.3...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] paychex:
I had that problem with an unofficial build. But that was a bad download. Do you have new phones? The mount points are different on the newer sg3's. There's a thread with a fix for that
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] XxSilent.NightmarexX:
i had that problem. for some reason it locks your recovery and internal storage. you have to wipe it and install a rom via odin to work again. thats why im staying away from 4.3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bbrita:
i got my phone last december so its not real new, guess Ill just stay away from 4.3 roms. my recovery never got locked it just wont boot back up after restart. thanks for all the ideas
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pingvinen:
Simple question; I have an S4 mini that I am very happy with. Apps and settings are perfect now. How can I clone my phone to another S4 so that I have an exact copy of software and settings? Rooting the phone is not an option, unless I can unroot it back before 1st use (company policy checkup).
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosat:
To get every single setting automatically transferred to another phone you will need a rooted solution. Titanium Backup.

Otherwise you will probably have to manually set your settings on the other phone. I believe SMSes can be transferred using apps on the play store.

I thought that since some of us here prefer keyboard input with real buttons, you might be interested in this nifty little device.

This is exactly what the title says.

It's a

Bluetooth Sliding Back-lit Keyboard.

Nutshell Version

Build Quality: 6.7/10

Functionality: 9/10

'Buyability': 7/10

Slightly more detailed version

Comprises of a detachable case (for you to attach phone to) and the keyboard itself

Build quality is what you would expect from most generic chinese products

It is a little plasticky?

The case where you snap on your phone feels slightly sharp, could have been rounded

It was a little bit difficult to remove the phone from the case

Standard clicky buttons

Backlit is a huge plus. I like to be able to see the buttons in the dark without relying on the screen's light

Pairs easily as a keyboard

Can be used in conjunction with emulators (this is awesome. If you the detachable case as your normal daily case, you can easily slip the phone onto the keyboard and game away)

Finally, check out the pictures.

You sold on this device? Click me for an example site of where to purchase

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggyjurss:
Hey everyone, I just tried to root my Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9305 and I believe that I used the wrong rom (for I9300). Ever since I rooted it I can't use the phone, whenever I turn it on it just goes straight to the "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!". I can't exit download mode (tried pressing volume up+power+home) All I can do is re-enter download mode by pressing volume down+power+home. Please help! What should I do? I don't know where to start and I really hope I haven't turned my precious into an expensive doorstop.

Try reflash stock rom I9305
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SignetSphere:
First you posted on the wrong forum the I9305 has a separate Q & A thread. Onto though your problem though... your phone is on a semi-brick state since it can still boot into download mode so there's still hope... what I can recommend you to do is that you flash a stock rom this time make sure its for the I9305 branch and not the I9300 one just go to Sammobile and search. If that still fails then better wait for a more experienced user to give you a possible fix as i don't own an I9305 one.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggyjurss:
It seems hard to find the stock rom on sammobile for the I9305, I'm aware I'm a complete noob when it comes to this stuff but usually I'm pretty good at finding these things... Has anyone got a link to it?

Success!!

I was in a similar situation to our unfortunate friend, biggyjurss. I nearly gave up all hope of ever restoring my phone (SIII GT-19305) to the way it was. I really didn't think there was any way back from being stuck in the download screen that will still haunt me the rest of my days. With everyone's help, I managed to restore everything to the way it was!!!! **** YEEEAAHH! I have learnt a valuable lesson in not to EVER attempt rooting a phone again unless I really know what I am doing and I have done my research. I want to thank everyone on this thread for helping me out!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpihl:
i'm having this exact same problem after doing the exact same mistakes and nothing seems to be helping. I've already wiped everything from the phone and tried Kies to getting the phone back to stock, but Kies just crashes in the process. I can also get to the boot menu and to the download menu, but nothing helps. The phone just keeps coming back to the downloading screen. Please help :crying: I thought there would be no trouble with rooting your phone since every site just said how easy it is...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qasderred:
THANK YOU!

I made the same error (flashed i9300 instead of i9305), and got stuck too.

Tried flashing the rooted i9305 to no avail.

Had to cross my fingers hoping that my laptop's BSOD doesn't come when I was downloading the stock off Sammobile. (I get intermittent BSODs, usually because of the heat. My laptop is old.)

It's now working again after flashing the stock firmware.

Thank you all, once again!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathrowz_sri:
Coming from HTC Desire HD, I was thrilled when I laid my hands on the Sony Xperia Z. But when I played around and wanted to tinker, I was utterly disappointed that my Xperia bootlaoder has a permanently locked bootloader. To my knowledge and spending hours on the net trying to figure out that there are no free or paid ways to get it unlocked I feel really disappointed that this powerful beast cannot be unlocked to run custom roms.

Thinking of selling my Xperia Z but it is such and elegant device. I wonder whether any developers are working on a solution for this or weather theres any prospect of finding a solution.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exekias:
What on earth are you on about, the Sony XZ is one of the ONLY phones you can get permanently UNLOCKED, you simply go to the Sony site and you sign away your warranty and bam in return you get a bootloader that is permanently unlocked that you "officially" cannot re lock.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey63:
I think OP means carrier branded phones that come with an unlockable bootloader. Even Sony can't unlock such devices.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
...

Some phones (usually carrier subsidised handsets) have non unlockable bootloaders.

The OP is asking if anyone is working on a way to bypass that restriction.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathrowz_sri:
exekias, i was referring to my phone which has "bootloader unlocked allowed: No" in the service menu. tried the flashtool too but it not working..

Im banging my head on the wall for not checking this earlier..i checked on the forums and there were loads of custom roms and thought bootloader can be unlocked!!!!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathrowz_sri:
If its a carrier subsidised handset, I assume its restricted to one carrier. But mine is carrier unlocked! I dont understand...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey63:

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
It's simple to understand, if your Phone comes from a carrier then there's a 99% chance the bootloader can't be unlocked. I've SIM unlocked mine but the bootloader is a no go.

I don't have a z but I remember my xperia arc had same bootloader problem. To fix it you paid for a program (setool) or something...it was like a test point and you had to plug it into computer while holding tweezers to the SIM slot. Maybe someone can get that to work with the z?

The only problem with XZ is that its sealed to ensure its water resistant and theres no way you can get access to tinker with internals
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathrowz_sri:
My question to developer community is...Is it a no go forever or will someone at some point invest their precious time and energy on developing an unlock solution or should i get rid of this permanently locked XZ? Coming from HTC, I have little or less experience with Sony. Has it been an issue before eg Xperia series and some where down the line, developers at XDA found a solution? If so i want to wait. XZ is damn good phone and i really love it!!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ILoveXperia:
There are some workaround for it to unlock at the Sony Ericsson Xperia x10 forum, and there were some discussion in the qna thread about this. Better u check it out.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmallsXD:
I believe it is due to QUALCOMM's implementation (or so I heard) and if the carriers wanted a locked bootloader it was locked for good.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karthikrr:
Firstly, hi to all the folks at xda-developers. I have always found this place to be the most useful resource when it comes to figuring out android, but never had an unanswered question till just now.

I just helped my dad migrate from a blackberry to a nexus 4, and while he is quite happy with most of the phone's offerings, he finds it exasperating that the phone does not display the company field from his address book in the people/contacts app. After a week searching online for answers, it appears this is indeed not possible on android yet, and the best advice I found was to manually change the company field to middle name/last name and then "everythings alright with the world again". Hopefully, the people on xda recognize that this is hardly a 'solution'.

I then set out to find an app to replace the phone book, but that was a dead-end. Too many apps out there, not enough documentation on what does what properly and most of the descriptions suggested that they were over-kill for what I was looking to do.

So, my question is this ... Does anybody who knows the internal workings of android 4.3 on the nexus 4 know if this can be a simple tweak on a rooted phone? I do not have any experience at all hacking phones, Im not even a developer, but I imagine the display is controlled by some sort of style-sheet type entity (xml?). My reasoning is that the information is already on the phone... The only thing that needs to change is the way the phone displays the information. Would it be possible, at some level, to edit a file to display an extra line of information?

Of course, if somebody knows of a specific app/mod that already does this, please point me in the right direction.

Thanks,

Karthik

Oh yes --- IF it turns out that there is no way to do what I want without some major hacking of the OS, can somebody suggest the best way to unload the contacts from the phone to a desktop, some app that will automatically remap the company name field to the middle name/suffix, and then upload the contacts back to the phone?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord Yurij:
The company is displayed right below the name in the top left corner of the people app.

At least in the paranoid android rom

Swyped from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karthikrr:
In the stock version, the only way to see it is when the actual contact is opened... Meaning, when viewing contact details. The problem with this is that when you have multiple contacts with the same name, it is impossible to dial the right one directly from the Phone App. Each time, one must click on the person's avatar on the left side, which does some weird 'half opening' of the contact, then click again on the top of that dialog box to open the actual contact, at which point the company name is displayed at the top corner.

In my dad's case, he has many many contacts with the same names, even same first and last (we in India have third initials that finally differentiate the persons!) ... On his blackberry, the company name ALWAYS showed under the contact name, and so it was easy to call the right person. With android, neither the phone app, nor the auto-complete introduced in 4.3 seem to care about the company name. So each time, he has to open the contact fully to figure out whom to call!

Mine is laggy, not all the time but if you keep screen on for about 10 minutes and launching apps after apps, it gets really laggy especially on Chrome. I even have display issues where black screen are displayed on certain apps for awhile before showing up. Not sure if it's because I have too many sync data and background apps going on but I don't understand how anyone can use a smartphone these days without a minimum of such things going on
[Sony Xperia ZR] tudork:
That sounds quite bad, mine definitely does not do that. However, I have to say Chrome is laggy on any kind of phone, I would never use it, especially because of that. I use Dolphin these days.
