[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] markbc01:
Understand your frustration - all of those with the bad luck of having or OTA'ing to MF3 are going bonkers. . .Really don't have any clue since this appears to be one of the truly hard fixes (oops... exploits) to find.

As to friendly Android folks, well actually there are. Even here ;). OK, you are right that XDA is different. Some threads are rather prickly and if you jump in with a "stray" comment they jump in and flame and complain.

But other threads are more mellow; and you can see the same, same, same, same, same, same, same, same, question asked again and again and someone will politely (more or less) answer these queries or refer the questioner to the right spot. . . So, that's not unusual. (sorry, the hot/repeat question these days seems to be . . . .MF3 ETA! :crying:)

But all this in not unique to Android. In the Apple support pages, which I frequent every now and then for my MAC issues, I found some rather brusque replies and non-helpful at that! It's not a function of OS. . .it's people and organizational/group culture.

XDA is a real mix of intense, "bleeding-edge" developers and users, who push their software and hardware in very dynamic ways, but who also can be edgy -and not in a good way.

XDA also has "normal" folks, who drop in for help, or add something they like and (unfortunately) sometimes even want to share it with others ;).

Finally, XDA has people (some with surprisingly high numbers of posts!) who have hardware or software problems and need help, but are also clueless. Sometimes folks in this last group are in need of help AND they are impatient or even demanding of the reply posters. . . that's kind of not a good approach!

I guess that makes XDA sort of like real life, it all depends upon who you meet!

There is no doubt that XDA can be a bit off-putting if you don't connect in the right way for the particular thread. but is that happens, don't worry about it! The next thread will be more helpful or understandable, or maybe even friendly . . . ;)

Good Luck

There are plenty of nice people dankify... I'm one of them. But when I saw the title of this thread, my mind instantly went "uh oh".

It's something most of us had to learn on XDA, and it's usually the first lesson. Never ask for ETAs for anything. Never ever ever. There are some that get very bent about it, and in some cases understandably so, since everything done on here is done by donation and lots of thankless free time.

I'm no coder, I'm a leech, so I just try to help out where I can. I'm waiting for the MF3 bootloader unlock too, and it'll come. We just have to watch the forums and be patient.

Also, welcome to Android. I think you're going to find that you like it here, this one bump in the road aside :)

I appreciate it. Ya I'm so glad to have gotten rid of my crapy apple. Am able to do so much without mods that was needed on the iPhone to even do some. Can't imagine how cool it will be to get a custom rom. Hopefully soon

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] ammarr:
I have the Canadian Wifi version (5110). I was running rooted stock, with CWM.

So, here's the situation that I'm in: The device was encrypted. After a bad restore from titanium my note would get stuck on the samsung animation (after asking for the encryption password). I went into recovery and formatted /data. After reboot, it kept asking me for the encrypted memory password (and not accepting the correct one). I then formatted all the other options that were in there (/preload, /system, /sdext etc). It still doesn't start after reboot. Shows the Name of the unit and just stays there, no samsung animation. I can power off and get into recovery again. I can flash other roms (I tried CivZ-FlexBeam) and once again I get to the point where it asks for the memory password (which it accepts) but doesn't go any further.

Edit: Solved it by flashing stock recovery and doing a factory reset from there.. thanks to civato here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2333191

[Sony Tablet S] Robtao:
I have successfully used the latest AIO tool.

Under Tweaks and Mods, I installed the latest stuff, then went back and did 3 (Toggle OTA), then 2 Run OTA zip Autodownloader.

I don't really know what I was doing.

Now i have downloaded securedownload.doc, securedownload-1.doc, and secure download-2.doc.

Are these OTA ROM updates, which I don't want to do, or are they security updates which are safe, won't kill root, etc.?

Please straighten me out. Thanks.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jujuburi:
What firmware? Xposed is a framework and all the modules which support Xposed are reversible. It's 100 times better than flashing zips, where you don't know what exactly are you flashing.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andys93:
So then i can install the framework, install the module, enable the module, use that feature and then uninstall everything and the device status will remain official?

Was wondering if there is a fix for my problem or am I missing something. Just rooted and installed cm10.1.3 on my 3113. After I flashed the ROM I couldn't get into recovery it would just reboot.

Hi all! I'm a new member, but I've been reading XDA for a couple of years now. I'm usually pretty decent at finding solutions to my own problems, but now I'm in need of a little help.

I recently had to unroot my i747 and restore back to stock firmware. That was about a month ago. Now I'm missing my CM10 and my stock Android goodness and I want to re-root. Unfortunately, none of the old methods I used work for me now. I think I've realized that the reason for this is that during my month away from CM and root-access, I foolishly OTA updated to 4.1.2. I'm also on a Mac, which I realize is yet another hurdle to jump.

I've looked and looked, and nothing I've come across seems to work. I've tried Motochopper and Casual Root but as far as I can tell, neither one supports 4.1.2 right now, and Casual's kind of buggy on Macs as it is.

Am I missing something obvious, or is this just a waiting game for the time being?

Thanks for reading!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vanisleryan:
If I were you I would just borrow a friends pc and root with chainfire auto root via odin....its the fastest and easiest in my opinion. I literally rooted my phone in my buddys truck the other day in less than a minute. Like you updated to 4.1.2 and had to re root.

After buying an iPod touch and installing iOS 7, I realized that the card-styled multitasking was very sexy :D.

But really, back when I had an iPhone 4 (which I jailbroke) if only to get card-styled multitasking I really enjoyed it and now that iOS 7 is getting it stock I'm jealous my Galaxy S4 doesn't do that (well of that aspect of iOS anyway).

I saw a guide that kinda gives you WebOS style cards but from the looks of it, everytime I updated my rom I'd have to recompile an apk and was wondering has anyone made an exposed mod for this? I mean it's not that big a deal just personal preference :)

okay I'm almost certain I put this in the wrong forum, sorry about that :(

A previous rom i copied over in File Explorer can be seen in Recovery

Are they in different directories or is one on an external card? Not to accuse you of being absent minded but I personally have had this problem because I forgot where I put a new file. I had to go back into File Explorer and locate the file so I could point to it in recovery. If it's not a silly error (again just offering my own silly experience) the only other thing I can think of is that it's a corrupted file.

For data2sd is it working directly from the installer, or there is a need to follow also the data2sd thread and partioning of the SD card.

Do we lose anything on the card itself by trying this option?

What is the advantage to take the app within the installer vs installing it from the store. Is it to have the pro version without paying for it? Otherwise it seems better to go through the store to avoid conflicts right?

[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You need to follow the data2sd thread instructions to partition the card in gparted. You will lose all your current data although it is still there technically as now the tab sees an empty data partition so you will have to set up from scratch again.

Hi guys,

Since i have reformatted the microSD, the tablet is working perfect with v5.

Most important for me is browser is functioning normally not in slow motion.

I have made some tests to compare with my highest score on rc2.

The interesting thing is with just the that kernel modded with data2SD and without using any advanced settings such as ET, I am close to the highest score I had.

Waking up delay problem

If someone has a dalay waking up your tablet, could you please try this and report back? I can't test it because I don't have that issue.

You can access your build.prop from here: /system/build.prop

You need a rooted file manager so you can edit your build.prop and save it.

You need to look for this line: pm.sleep_mode=1 on your your build.prop and insert a number sign in front of it like this : #pm.sleep_mode=1

You need to save it and reboot.

Please report back if it works or not, thanks in advance..
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
No it's not that line. I've removed it and it's just as bad.

My delay wakikng was really bad this morning. It's not related to sleep. I can sometimes turn the tab off and then back on within 3 seconds and wait another 3 seconds for the lock screen to appear. Then the next time it is fine.

I've noticed with the ET installed if updating an app from the store you cannot do anything else at the same time. On my ww or us versions this is much improved. It's like the ET forces all CPU processesnto be consumed by one activity.

I almost feel that the screen wake delay is related, it's like it's too busy doing something else.......
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Thanks Sbdags for confirmation on this.. :) I have noticed the issue with the store also this morning when I tried to download from the store and worked on something else. It was a lot of lag that I did not notice before. I compared the new and my old build.prop. and did not find anything that stands out except for the "ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=0". However, I believed that _that confirmed thst it was not even existed in the source code. Oh well, I need more test and see if I can find anything.. :)
