If you bricked your device doing something ...I recommend you do not listen to the posts I have cleaned, as that is fraud...saying you innocently did this and that and "acting stupid" is not how you should live life, let alone try to defraud your carrier or insurance company.

To have veteran users come in here and make these suggestions is also wrong. If you taker a chance with anything from this website, the onus is on you. Be a grown up and own your mistakes,

Hi All,

Loving this phone so far, but one that that really bothered me is the call drops and the signal reception on this phone. Coming from a S4, I had no problem making calls in the house, but after I switched to ONE, I get drop calls all the time. Anyone else running into this issue with call dropping and low reception? Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
I can chime in on this a little with some different insight. I fly small planes (172's etc) and I have a Bose bluetooth headset that allows me to take calls. With my rezound it was amazing where I could get coverage. Sometimes 5000 feet above the ground.

Yesterday I flew a normal flight path and was without data for most of the flight and without cell at times too. I was only 1500 feet above the ground. Verizon's bubbles are much larger than sprints. I can tell you that my phone with sprint was useless in the air at all. That was the number one reason I ended up on vzw.

I am hoping a radio update fixes some of these issues. For now, they are definitely flaky at best.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
There are a few threads already about reception issues. It seems... Sporadic. Some people have issues, some don't. Me personally, my One has just as good of reception as any other phone I have had. No issues at all here. :)

Call Dropping Issue on unlocked AT&T Samsung S3(SGH I747)

Hi There,

I am using This unlocked mobile in India. This has the problem of Call dropping issues most of the time. If every one wants to reach me, it just give the message of not reachable.

I put a app called USSD/MMi code fix from App store. But , it only shows the network provider and the signal level. But yet this issue was not solved.

Give some more fixes for this issue.:confused:

[Acer Iconia A500] mlk43611:
Hello,

My husband has an Acer 500 that's about 2 years old and I have an Acer A110 that's about 10 months old. I hooked up an HDMI cable from the A110 to the tv the other night, and it didn't work. I've only used the HDMI port twice before, but I have noticed that the battery port is awfully wiggly and frequently when the charger is plugged it, it's often a poor fit and not really connected/charging. Anyway, I did find that if I wiggled the HDMI cable, a snowy picture is very briefly delivered to the tv.

Then today, I discovered that the HDMI port doesn't work now on the 500. This we've used quite a bit. I switched cables, switched to different HDMI ports, and tried on 3 different tvs. Nada. Then I hooked up a computer via HDMI to the tv and it works just fine. So it doesn't appear to be the cable or tv, yes?

I can only conclude that the HDMI ports are a weak aspect of the Acer tablets, but obviously I don't know for sure. The one is still under warranty, I think, so I'll be returning it for repair. But I'm wondering if anyone else has had similar problems or if anyone has alternative ideas as to what might be going on? We haven't had any power outages or anything, and the tablets aren't left plugged into the tv unless we're watching it.

Thx.

Hey there. I'm new to these forums. This is the reason why I actually made this account hahah

Basically. I've just brought a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505, really nice phone, loving it.The phone is on the Telecom NZ (XT) network and currently runs Android 4.2.2. What I want to do is load up the latest version of the Cyanogenmod that is most stable for both my cellular carrier and my phone. I'm quite new to playing around with the software on Android devices. But I do find it very interesting. So be generous with me hahah I pretty much want a ROM that will still be able to run all of the cool features that the S4 offers but without the stupid bloatware. I'm sussed when it comes to rooting, that's easily enough done. But when it comes to finding a ROM that won't brick my device or recieve service, and in general loading the ROM onto my phone, I'm a bit lost. If any of you could help that would be amazing.

My phone info:

Model Number: GT-I9505

Android Version: 4.2.2

Basband Version: I9505XXUBMG4

Kernal Version:

3.4.0-1029328

Thanks :D
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
Welcome to XDA :)

Firstly before flashing any ROM backup your EFS and keep it safe, it might get you out of trouble if things go wrong ;)

To back up EFS open a terminal emulator (can download from play store) on device and type the following:

su

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/mnt/sdcard/efs.img.ext4

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/mnt/sdcard/m9kefs1.bin

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 of=/mnt/sdcard/m9kefs2.bin

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 of=/mnt/sdcard/m9kefs3.bin

If you want the stock S4 features but no bloat then try one of the many light ROMs available for the i9505 from the 'i9505 Android development section'.

If you want a pure AOSP style ROM then look in the ' i9505 Original Android development' section.

I'm personally running the CM10.2 nightlies and they are awesome!

Have fun, happy flashing!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aluminum_killer:
The problem I have is finding a rom that will work with my phone. If you guys could provide me with links that would be amazing. Does Cyanogenmod use the features the S4 offers such as the continuous keyboard, the LED, the hover capabilities etc?

On a side note. When I go to update the phone through the phone settings or comes up with a message saying I can't update because I have modified the phone. The only thing I have done is root it. But I have since unrooted it and reset the phone. So I don't know what the problem is. Thanks for being so understanding and helping me out :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
ANY ROM on the i9505 forum will work with your phone mate.

When you rooted your phone the binary counter was increased, to go back to a fully stock state to receive OTA updates you need to use Triangle Away app.

CyanogenMod uses LED but the hover gesture is Samsung proprietary so that's not included.

I think there's apps though that use the hover sensor.

The search button here on XDA is your friend mate. The answer to every question you've asked is on this site.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyler27:
So my SanDisk 32gb sd card stopped working and became completely unresponsive no matter what device i put it in. I tried it in various computers and my tablet and nothing will recognize it except the xperia play and all it says is blank SD card and i tried to format it but it wont even format. Is there anyway to force my SD card to format so i can use it again or is it dead.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfex3best:
I've had the same problem mate.

It was the SanDisk 32gb also so it's probably a bug with the memory card.

Had a business trip to LA come up all of a sudden. Haven't been back in the US for years. What options do I have?

Phone - unlocked japanese Galaxy S4 (similar to i9505 but some minor hardware differences) - HSPDA on band I/V/VI/XIX. (Maybe IX too), LTE-FDD on band 1/3/4/5/7/17/20

Tablet - Nexus 7 3G - the standard 2012 3G version

The S4 is stock and while unlocked, has carrier hacks preventing me from using it to tether the tablet (it silently switches to a different APN used for tethering only on the japanese carrier).

[Galaxy S 4 General] pinsb:
I've been tracking S4 prices of ripbay for a while and having been shocked to see they've fallen very quickly over the last 8 weeks. In the UK you couldn't pick up a S4 for under £350 8 weeks ago, now £310-£320 is common and I've seen phones go as low as £275.

Is this because people are trying/moving to the iphone 5 I wonder?

If sammie got their finger out and started shipping the i9506 with larger memory it could help popularity again......
[Galaxy S 4 General] faiyo:
it's probably because of the note 3. also other makers too but i would think the iPhone has the least effect. no one's excited about the 5s this year like it was last year

btw i think you should look at phones more like computers where you don't need to upgrade every 2 years anymore. that's how comps were in the 90s but now ive had my laptop for 7 years before replacing it. the mobo burnt and i want to play gta5 when it comes to pc

with this phone, the only reason to upgrade is camera quality will be better in a few years
[Galaxy S 4 General] nwsk:
Uhh, the S4 was released end apr/may, so 8 weeks ago the phone had only been out around 2 months? Now it's been about 4-5 months.. So used phones being sold now are probably 'more used' than they were 8 weeks ago. Not surprised they're getting cheaper.

Also I'm guessing that people who wanted the s4 when it first came out more or less have gotten it by now, so less demand = lower prices.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ixon2001:
The main factor as to why the S4 is dropping so quick is because, newer faster smartphones are about to be released such as the G2, Z1, Note 3 ect.

Plus S4 is now considered old tech in smartphone terms, hence why it's dropping in price so quickly, and it's retail price as also dropped considerably since it was released back in late April.

If you go back to the S2 days that held it price right up to the point the S3 was released, simple because at the time there was nothing out from anybody else that could touch it, I got best part of £300 for my S2 that was a year old, there is no way on earth i'll get that next year for my S4, when the time comes to getting shut for the S5.

Just way things are now with Android Smartphones.

Hi,

I've got an Galaxy GT-I9300 and recently I flashed some custom roms, with no problems. But at the last time, my IMEI has changed to a generic and I received the 'Emergency Only'. Fortunately I had a backup of my original efs folder, made by KTool. So I restored it using some tutorials from xda and other forums and my original IMEI is back.

But it's frequently losing signal, then the signal returns with 'emergency', then gets normal, then lose signal again and etc.

My question is, can I restore an efs.img or *.tar.gz made by KTool using the EFS Pro? So I could wipe the efs folder and restore the backup, clean...

I'm now with WanamLite XXUFME7.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg465x:
I would go dev. You can get S-OFF with the dev edition because it ships with 4.1.2 still. You can't with the GPe. You can always convert the dev to GPe and back with S-OFF.

Only Dev comes with unlocked boot loader, but GPe has a boot loader that doesn't require HTCDev. So unlocking is as easy as fastboot OEM unlock.

I would like to give the Moto X a try because of the stock look and that the size is not too big or small. The specs do open up my eyes on the G2 and if I decide on that I could always switch to a different launcher. This is a tough decision.
