[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hitch_Itch:
Hi Guys

Well Im new to Samsung phones, over the last 4 years I have run HTC phones, Dinc & Rezound on Nil's roms.

One of my big issues is that my phone goes into 1x almost 50% of time at my house, my Rezound would bounce between 4g and 3g.

Is there an issue with the S4 data or is it just crappy?

Also seems like the ringer volume is rather low compared to my Rezound, anyone else notice that and is there a way to make it louder? Sammy doesn't have the option for the hearing impaired, not that Im hearing impaired, but when checked on the rezound it made the phone ring louder. I do have the Sammy option checked for ring louder when in pocket or case.

One more question, Im use to the HTC favorite contacts widget, I see Samsung does not have a Favorites contact widget just a single contact widget/direct dial. What are you guys using?

The data issues is a big problem, I shouldn't be on 1x and I dont think my Rezound was ever on 1x and I travel all over Pa.

I have only had the phone for 2 days so far and would hate to swap out for a HTC one but I need to get this data issue resolved or I will have no other choice.

No I have not unlocked/rooted yet. I like to wait to make sure Im going to like the phone and no issues crop up where I would need to swap it out

Thanks for the input

Thanks, I figured there would be something for sound,

the Data signal is the BIG issue,Im surprised more folks have not chimed in on this, from doing a Google search on it there are lots of folks *****ing about it

If the phone stayed in 3G at the house I would be happy, but this phone goes into 1X, thats crazy
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] The_Jaat:
Hi all,

This is my first post on this wonderful site that I've referred to more times than I would admit :P

Anyways, my Samsung Grand Duos I9082 has been acting up lately. A few games seem to just stop working after the. Official update to 4.2.2. But now it hangs way too much. For example, NFSMW Most wanted sometimes takes control of my phone, no buttons or touch responds. Even the lock button doesn't work and the Game simply carries on ( also, the car starts turning right each time and just continues. I can't do anything but hard restart my phone. This also happenes if I play the game and quit before letting it happen in-game ( if I'm lucky then 5 to 6 races, but it always happens).

Also, real boxing and virtual tennis challenge don't start saying I have to download data ( which is exactly where it's supposed to be, in the BOB. Folder in android).

Reinstalling real boxing hasn't been of any help.

Checked the dev option cuz I read somewhere that auto kill app should be off so I did that too.

Also, asphalt 8 has joined the ranks of the above 2 mentioned games, crashing at initial loading screen.

Need some answers if not solutions to this predicament that I seem to be in. I'll be chucking this set for a newer one ( confused ...ideas guys) ... but still would want to know if it's something I'd love to know so That I'll either sell or gift to my cousin :)

Cheers Guys! !!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xDEADFAMOUSx:
Right, to cut a lonnnnng first post story short, basically, rooted my phone yesterday, went well, installed some rooted apps and was having fun, one app, 3D something, from Google Play. it asked me to restart my phone after setting superuser (i thought this was quite weird) anyway i boot locked my phone - got the typical "Samsung GALAXY Note GT-N7000" and the phone woundnt move from there, i can gt into vol+ home and power and vol- home and power still. so after some research i found i had to flash therelivant stock ROM using odin - so i did. and it worked. then at somepoint today my phone got stuck in a boot loop consisting of the GT-N7000 screen then the samsung spash screen. when i do vol+ home power, i get in red text "E:/error%20in%20/data/recovery_last_kernal_log.txt" - what does this mean? and how(if at all) do i fix it?

i have curently re-flashed stock ROM and vol+ home power & "wipedata/factory reset" and so far so good......

any help or shed light would be a great help

Phone is Samsung GALAXY Note GT-N7000
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
Flashing the stock rom won't change anything if you have not wiped data. It just restores the system. What rom are you on? JB or ICS? To get everything to factory standards, install philz kernel.

Then boot into Cwm and choose wipe data,-clean before new rom flash.

Once it's done, choose reboot download and flash the rom again with odin. This way anything that the "3d something" might have done will go.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xDEADFAMOUSx:
it was called "Chainfire3d" and could you write the bove in steps?

i currently have flashed stock JB rom... and its working for now, but i dont want to turn it off incase it loops again. so what should i do from here, its currently un-rooted...

thanks a million for your reply :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
1. Install philz kernel from recovery.

2. Boot into Cwm recovery and choose clean before new rom install.

3. Choose reboot download.

4. Connect to pc and flash rom using odin.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xDEADFAMOUSx:
so put philz kernel on the ext sdcard

vol+ home power - and install

boot into cwm and choose clean before new rom install

reboot into download

and then flash stock rom?

one last question... will the lastest philz kernel work?

thanks again

i currently have PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT4-OXA-4.93.6-signed on my external sd.... will this do?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
yeah any kernel will do as you just need recovery... once the kernel is installed, boot into recovery.. You should see CWM based recovery.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natifr:
i got a tf300 from ebay , with a broken digitizer opened it up to see the model (of the digitizer) and left it with out a one for the meanwhile

i also ordered a keyboard and a digitizer ( 5158N) , the key board got to me first .

i connected it so ill be able to use the tablet

but the screen seems as some one is touching it all over all the time !

i dont know what to do ,

it open apps on its own , move screens and so on ...

any ideas ?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
Hehe, that did happen to some of us. In my case, I first flashed the 4820 TS firmware. If that doesn't stop the mad behaviour, then carefully remove the TS ribbons from the board, and tape them on top of the connectors, making sure they don't touch any conducting metal parts.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natifr:
so from what you say i need to root it first , right ?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natifr:
so i open it up and toke out the part thats connect the main board and the TS ( i dont have the TS anyway)

and now im using it with the keyboard and its find !!!

so now i want to know what thus it mean ?

that part is broken ?

it dosnt work w/o a tuch screen connected ?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
Nothing is broken apart from the TS. But when you have it connected, it acts crazy. Replace it and it should be fine.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyraxiate:
You do know you can use a G01 which is much much cheaper right? Mine was a 5158N originally and I got my replacement G01 for 42 USD.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrKite4:
I get the phantom touches constantly, so it's just bad ribbons and taping them will definitely stop it?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
Not sure what the question is, but taping the ribbons to the connectors is just a stopgap measure when you for some reason must keep the broken digitizer on (as in waiting for the replacement to come in the mail). It might work or not (does in my case, where if ghost touches hit, all I need do is reboot). So I wouldn't say "definitely." What's your situation?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrKite4:
sometimes the screen goes crazy and starts zooming in and touching areas when I'm not touching the screen, when I put it back in to sleep and then unlock it again its fine, and then also somewhere in the upper right portion of the screen it's send like out didn't react to the touch so well especially when I'm scrolling and hit that part of the screen it'll stop then either act as if I did a long press or act as if I clicked on the browser url.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
If you have an undamaged digitizer that acts on its own, you're not alone. Most of the time, the remedy is in reflashing the TS frmware. You need to know what type it is so you can select the correct firmware though. Pop the back cover open and look. Check this thread for troubleshooting tips.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unob:
Would be nice if someone has any NEW light to this matter "Crazy screen"

Me too have this problem and been reading everything in here to remedy that problem.

that 50 page long thread has gone to more questions than answers.

it seems that replacing the TS and the board and the 4820 firmware still gives the "Crazy screen"

I've seen even a brand new TF300T without any visible defect that has the same fault.

has anybody found other firmware to TF300T than 4820.. maybe it isnt 100% compatible with all cheep china TS?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyraxiate:
I ordered a cheap g01 for 43 bucks. I then flashed 4820 firmware. No problem at all and its more responsive than the original 5158n.

The boards do also go bad apparently. You can pick one up for 15 usd on ebay. Regardless what version the board came from, you will have to flash.

I recommend every one with issues go with the g01 as its firmware is readily available and actually has a proven track record of working. Its also the cheapest version available ;) ( mine was also an original Asus part for that price )

Just make sure you have root access first.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unob:
Glad to hear happy stories.. too little of them here :)

i replaced mine TS g01 without changing firmware (i had 4822).

i ran it about 9-10 hours straight and no glitch at all before it began to ghosting.

and then flashed the TS firmware to 4820 with no difference (still ghosting)

i think people have triggered the same problem when replace their TS. (it wasn´t "the cap" problem) and will not necessarily engage immediately after the replacement.

it's really a ghost story.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyraxiate:
In that case its either a bad board, or a bad digitizer. There were reports of new screens that looked intact actually having micro fractures that dont act up until the unit had been on and running ( heating up ). I'd try the TS / Micro SD daughterboard first though as its cheaper and easy to access. Worst case scenario is you get a spare or see if someone here wants to pick it up from you. For $15 its worth a shot.

Heres the exact OEM G01 I ordered ( It does have the Asus Logo )

http://www.ebay.com/itm/360697697608?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

I cant find any cheap boards on ebay right now but they are frequently listed in the 15-20$ range. You will just have to keep your eyes peeled I guess.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unob:
Thanx for your help. i got lucky coz my seller agrees to send me a new TS and it has been on the road for 2 weeks now...

meanwhile i have found too many people having the same problem so my faith is failing :eek:

i will report back.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyraxiate:
Sounds like a plan :) Hopefully it's just a bad digitizer then.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unob:

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unob:
here is the report.

Now i have replaced the new TS. and the Ghost Story is still there?

But it is not random anymore. Now it is only one dot ghosting all the time? (top right corner). I assembled it twice but no avail.

by the way, they sent me "White label" version instead of G01 and i think it worked better (less ghosting).

interesting to hear opinions?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] barceloneru:
Hello people,

I am a newbie here, and I would like to root my Sony xperia T build 9.1.A,1,140

I have tried bin4try rooting system and it all went through fine, but after starting the phone I downloaded rooting checker and it said that my device was not rooted. This was also confirmed when trying to use lucky patcher. I did have however the SuperSU app installed.

Then I withrew that root just in case from the removal option, and tried to do it through the DoomLord method. Whilst installing it said that my device was not supported. Since then I have been reading and trying to figure out how to upgrade my build version to 141 in order to root it through DoomLord method, and I have the boot.img from the stock .141 kernel. I am just a bit confused and don't know how to play it safer.

Also, I have tried installing the CWM but since I don't have a rooted phone it didnt let me install. I now have a stock Xperia T with android JB 4.1.2 build 9.1.A.1.140 and would really like your help to see what I can do.

I will now head to bed, as my brain hurts from so much information, I hope to get this sorted soon.

Thanks a lot to you all for your time and effort!

Sincerely,

Jose

UPDATE

I forgot to mention that I tried to install CWM but it didn't let me because the phone was not rooted. Also there is apparently no way to unlock my bootloader.

This morning I donwloaded the 141 tft file, a polish version, and decided to flash it into my phone. After flashing and starting the phone, the sony wave colour thing did several loops for about a minute or two. The the phone started as usual and everything works fine except for internet data.

AT THIS POINT

I do not know where to proceed, I go in mind to now try rooting my phone through Doom's method but I am afraid that maybe I can screw it up more or root it but still have no mobile data which would be almost useless to me.

Please I would really appreciate the help of anyone.

THANKS!

Hey there,

I have a factory unlocked Samsung Galaxy SIII, international, GT-I9300, freshly rooted and using CWM-based recovery v5.5.0.4::CF - v1.5.

Today I've flashed 2 custom ROMs, one after the other, by following some guides that I've found (cannot post yet links):

1. Android 4.3 via SuperNexus: URL hidden

and after the SuperNexus this one:

2. Android 4.3 via ParanoidAndroid 3.97 ROM: URL hidden

Managed to flash these two successfully, but with both of them I've faced the same problem during initial device setup: could not connect to my Wi-Fi network. Wi-Fi signal was strange too: strong, then suddenly weak. Could not authenticate and connect. :crying:

So, fortunately, made a backup before these two ROM flashes, so I guess I'm back with my stock Samsung TouchWizzy ROM (Android 4.1.2). That I hate. I want something bloatware free, stock-android feel, something like my Nexus 7 tablet.

Can you suggest me a "Wi-Fi capable" stock-like Android 4.3 custom ROM or am I missing something? Maybe a Radio flash (have no idea what's that) but maybe that what I was missing? And if I do that somehow, is that reversible? Never done it before. :o :D

Thank you in advance for any help and suggestion! :good:

(1) did you do a full wipe including manual wipes of /system? If not do so and try again (mega wipe can be of help here)

(2) if this doesn't work, did you play around with custom kernels? (wifi is connected to the kernel and less to the baseband/modem used)

This must be a modem issue as android 4.3 does not change the modem from the previous samsung rom.

try upgrading to latest samsung 4.1.2 and then install android 4.3.

remember to backup everything.

and dont forget to take an efs backup as many ppl are facing major problems after upgrading to latest samsung roms.

1. Thanks, will do a mega-wipe next time, although with CWM did these in the following order: Wipe data/Factory reset, Wipe Cache Partition, Wipe Dalvik Cache several times. Also, with MegaWipe wiping Preload partitions does what exactly? Just don't want to brick my phone/do something irreversible, as I try to understand everything I do to it :)

2. No, did not played around with custom kernels. Do not know how to change/flash them. Same as flashing a custom rom? Newbie here :laugh:

Also, what do you mean by "an efs backup"? :) How to do one? Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
(1) The best would be to read the mega wipe thread. I use it all the time, it will delete ANYTHING excep the external SD card (also not EFS etc, hence dont worry). Therefore you need a flashable rom on the external sd or via Odin later on. But basically your phone won't start after a mega wipe, just download & recovery will work.

Your wipes are correct I think, whereas /system is missing wich is needed, at least for SlimBean (4.3).

(2) The best would be to read the guides & kernel thread's how-to's first. It is basically the same as flashing a rom, yes.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lefttobleed:

BTW, Enea307, tried CM 10.2 (4.3) this morming, and same wi-fi problem. So it's most likely not a custom rom issue, as most of you suggested.
