OTA works after rooting But effect warranty,Better take precautions before doing any thing.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freakzone:
If you root and keep the stock rom you won't see much difference really. You will be able to delete bloatware from system directly, which is cool and you'll be able to use ad-blockers and that's about it. If you go for a custom rom you would get some speed and customizations (or not depends on what rom you are flashing) at the expense of stability. Recent devices always work best with the stock rom but there are these little things that you can't change on it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] threepwood960:
Hi, I want to share my experience with a Nexus 7 2013 which bought to me a friend in USA (I'm from Spain).

It is made in China, June, and it has every touch problem described here: maps rotate, multi-touch with only 2 fingers, Swype keyboard problem (the draw was continuously cut off), the screen didn't recognize my finger, and sometimes ghost pulsations.

Well, I sent the tablet to the tech support and today is back.

The report says:

Problem: Touch Screen Function Error

Replaced part: LCD + Front + GPS module

Note the Gps module replaced which I didn't referred.

Now everything is ok and screen works without problems. And all of this with the J compilation.

Clearly, my experience indicates that the Nexus problem is a hardware problem, and Asus knows perfectly the problem.

Cheers.

What I don't understand is if that was the case there would be a lot of perfect ones out there. They should call for a recall if you have a certain date of the bad batches. This is how it should be done. If you bought it from Best Buy then best buy should be getting good batches for exchange. With reciepts still. I am over my 15 days now. 2nd of all I just don't believe that this is hardware. I had a perfect screen for 15 days then this update destroyed it. HMMMMMMM doesn't make sence. It is software issues thats going on.

I think what Asus is doing is recieving your Nexus 7 and istalling the proper drivers for the screen it has in it. The next update that comes out will destroy it again and again till you get tired of this crap.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] furou:
I'm happy they fixed your touch screen issue, I'm thinking about having my n7 sent to be repaired too because ts10 helped a lot but it still doesn't feel 100% fixed.

Does your nexus feel solid and one piece like it did out of the box? I'm worried about having the screen feel like it could detach if they replace it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] lespaulman67:
I would like to see people start putting pictures of the paper work for this problem. Meaning the paper they send back with your tablet saying it is a defective screen or digitizer. Then we need to do something to get a replacement. Not sending it off. Exchanges at retail stores.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] threepwood960:
I have now the Q compilation with root and unlocked, and the touch screen is ok still. I don't see anything different to the original product (when I opened the box), but I think they exchange the screen and GPS, as they told me.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] potofgold:
Hi! Thanks for the info, i might be sending my nexus 7 for replacement too.

Could you maybe try this app to check if the touchscreen problem persists? if it's not too troublesome for you of course! :good:

I tested it already and the screen gets crazy. But I think this app is a fake, isn't it?

Certainly, my screen now respond without any problem, similar as in my Nexus 7 2012.

When I sent my tablet to the tech support I was worry too. But as I say, the result was the best possible. Good luck!

hmm, since the app creator figured out how to replicate the problem by simply displaying a certain image in fullscreen, so i was wondering if a replaced touchscreen would solve the problem. but i guess not.. :(

Thanks for your help though!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] lespaulman67:
I knew it. I found something out last night. Mine works perfect if its on a hard surface like a wooden table. If I put it on my couch or lay it on any cloth type material it has dead spots on typing. Mine is in a slimline Moko case. This is tested without holding it and unplugged. Touching the screen with one finger and hand only.Type real fast on each letter and they drop out touches.Like I said it works perfect now.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] oTeMpLo:
Shure it would help, but exchange for another better type of screen/toch combo :/

But i think cleaning an touching ang cleaning help.. mine is a lot better than it was on a first day (with a same ROM).

Cleaning a cache in my case Cruselite TPU with antistatic cleaner helped, too I think ;)

Butt "some jittering remins" its hard to pickup icons to move "icons"... As nexus mean i move or tap the finger..
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] lespaulman67:
Take your Nexus 7 out of the case and lay it on a nice wooden hard surface and retest the screen. Mine works perfect on hard surfaces only.im thinking it could be the digitizer flexing or the wireless charging coils causing the problems.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] threepwood960:
The previous video was recorded before I sent the tablet. As it is shown it worked in a terrible way. Now is something subtle, because it only fails sometimes and mainly on hard surfaces.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] threepwood960:
It is strange, before to tech support it failed each second. Now, I can be swyping several minutes and it doesn't fail, and in other moment it fails 1 out of 10 words.

I just received my Verizon holster/shell combo, here are a few first impressions.

http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/...d=15307&accessoryId=66806&initialPhoneId=7091

(no pics yet, as I don't have another camera at the moment...later)

PROS

- Fits well, snug. Cut outs are good.

- Tough, case and holster are not going to break easy

- kickstand, you can prop up side ways or upright

- works fine with wireless charging

- I like having a holster for when Im out and at the gym. Makes it convenient to have 1 case that serves dual purpose

- Not falling out of the holster, TIGHT fit

CONS

- Heavy, adds a bit of weight to the device - not a deal breaker though

- Protects back and sides, bottom and top are left "open"

- bit slippery

- little hard to get out of the holster, snug. A little much I think

The case is $29.99 from VZW. I would recommend it to anyone wanting this style of case. Not for everyone as it adds some bulk overall.
[G2 Accessories] mzimand:
I just got mine today and am very happy with it. I now have all the cases offered by verizon. I do like the incipio feather the best but would like it in black instead of grey. I use the holster with the incipio as well as the window case.
[G2 Accessories] jayochs:
did you get the feather in the store, or online? i went to a corporate store today and they literally had NO G2 accessories at all.
[G2 Accessories] mzimand:

Is there an Xposed mod or any other mod to get rid of the "Airplane Mode" and "Data Network Mode" options in the 4.2.2 TouchWiz shutdown mode?

I'm on GoldenEye ROM if that helps.

I already checked the Xposed mod page in XDA but didn't see anything there.

Would also like to find an xposed mod that lets you remove particular tiles from the Quick Settings menu.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] CZ Eddie:
Got this one figured out.

GravityBox. None of the other xposed modules I've tried, offers this option.

Hopefully the dev will also add some options to edit the power menu further.

Btw, it worked in Google Edition 4.3 ROM. Not sure if it would work in TouchWiz 4.2.2 or anything else.

I ditched Golden TW ROM for the same dev's Google Edition ROM.

[HTC One S] MrThreeChains:
Hi,

i was on one of the latest CM nightlies and everything was okay for a few days. I flashed Bubba kernel and got it running perfect since 2 days. Suddenly my phone freezed while WhatsApp and i rebooted. It was stuck in the CyanogenMod boot logo for a few minutes. I deleted Cache but it didnt helped. Then accidentally i deleted my internal sd card by mistake from the bootloader menu (wanted to click on Recovery).

The phone then booted once, but was stuck on initializing all apps. Now its stuck on the logo again. I can not mount my internal sd card. In adb when i type in "adb shell" it says FAILED (remote: not allowed). This also happens when i want to flash recovery.img or bootloader.zip or firmware.zip after fastboot oem rebootRUU.

When i type in fastboot devices it shows HT23KW406878 (somehow its named like this , the car USB also named it like this.

I can get fastboot getvar cid and it shows my 111111 Super CID. My phone is S-Off. I relocked my bootloader some minutes ago. I dont know what to do...

So:

One S S4 Unbranded

Relocked bootloader (i had unlocked one but wanted to flash the OTA RUU)

SuperCID

HBOOT 2.15.0000
[HTC One S] mikronac.ns:
Never do clear storage from bootloader when you have custom recovery. Change CID to factory one. Flash stock recovery and run RUU.
[HTC One S] MrThreeChains:
I know, it was by mistake. I already solved it by flashing a RUU,new recovery and new ROM. S-OFF and superCID was still the same

Hi,

Does anyone know of any programs that can delete notifications from the notification queue in WM5? I've tried memmaid but it doesnt see any notifications in WM5.

Basically the problem is that I installed Skype to the storage card, but I would get notifcation errors that it could not find the file when the device was suspended. I uninstalled and reinstalled skype to main storage but the popup error still happens sometimes.

Now it is giving me a Error, Network Unlock pin number is entered incorrectly. Contact your service provider.

I have tried the unlock code 10 times, i do not really have any to other solution. The imei, i checked it directly from the board of the phone, so it is correct.

I just need the phone unlocked, any solution would be helpfull.

Just get a hex editor, and a file explorer, and backup your efs folder in multiple places. Then edit your nv_data.bin shown on this site, and punch in a few lines of code into a terminal emulator, and done, you're unlocked with no hassle. :) I'll find the terminal codes, one sec.

That is the post, and you can do it all from your phone like I did, or, do it from a PC which is easier.

You can skip the line 4 in step 3 if you manually place the efs in the root of the phone.

REMEMBER!!! BACKUPS ARE ESSENTIAL!!! I personally had nothing go wrong, but, I and the op of that thread are in no way responsible if your Cappy decides to boot loop, force close, explode, implode, or tries to create skynet.

If you even tried looking on Google for that you would find hundreds of threads on this topic...

As of today, The HTC ONE X CANNOT GAIN S-OFF by anything the USER does... HTC CAN S-OFF ANY device.

THE FILE needed to GAIN S-OFF CANNOT be leaked...

Our only hope right now is APX Mode witch cannot be accessed by purpose, and if you get in, there is no way of getting out...

Yeah you can s-off your device. And those files/method are leaked.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpstar:
is there any way to seperate both the sound? i searched and checked some old threads of the old HTC Sense system, it's said that you can set the notification sound at the message preference in order to set the delivery report sound and then go set settings\personalize\sound\message sound, so you would get two different sound.

but at Sense 5 of HTC One, you will never set the seperate message sound at personalize settings, so it seems to be impossible to meet the goal of what i want.

after checking the code of Settings.apk at system/app with apktool and sth. else, i didn't find the way to modify or crack this either, at least there's no option to set the message sound seperately.

so has anyone done sth. like this? or success? TNX!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mgills76:
Anyone know if it is possible to change the pointer or cursor that indicates where your finger is touching? Would like to be able to put in callouts or at least a bigger circle to circle objects when using screen record to highlight a specific area. The best I could do so far is change the option under show touches which will basically scribble the area you write in. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsmepawan:
Of course you can change but firstly you have request to the ROM developers to include such features/options to change the cursor/pointer. :p

Initially stock firmware ROMs don't have this feature. I also haven't tried any apps which can change the cursor/pointer by which I can suggest few to you. :(

But for PC you can use CURSORFX to change the pointer/cursor ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kabilie:
DU Hellooooo00ooo,

Well, Hi there good people of XDA.

Using my S4 active for a good 2 months now (minus the month away fo replacement, water damage) but I'm getting really annoyed with the camera shutter and filming sound.

Looked on the whole internetz but could only find tips that didn't work.

So here's what I tried:

>> Phone needs to be rooted! > Downlaod "Note 2 hidden settings" from the market and disable shutter sound.

This works and is the quickest and most easy way to do it. You need to be rooted though!

>> "If the phone is rooted... goto root > system > media > ui

Under ui , rename the files shutter.ogg to anything eg shutter_no.ogg

do the same for camera...

Reboot....

Voila!!!! No camera sounds..."

This works when used with a ROOT explorer who can get W/R permissions

>>"If you want to remove it completely, try this app. It worked on all my previous phones.

https://sites.google.com/site/enforcedstreamsilencer/

You're welcome."

This didn't help either. (could install and use it but didn't change a thing)

>> "Click on the settings icon. Press it again for a window to pop up. Then select the most right tab and scroll down, you should see the shutter sound option. It should be second to last on the list."

This option isn't even there on my (unbranded) S4 active. (seems to be not available in some countries due to privacy stuff)

>> "If you are rooted, you can change the settings to give you the prompt on the menu. The file is root/system/csc/feature.xml. Change the "false" in the shuttersoundmenu line to "true". It will put the option on the camera settings menu."

This didn't work because when I tried to change the false to true it didn't let me save it.

So my question here:

Is there any other way to get rid of this shutter sound?

And if not. Am I doing something wrong with the file changing?

Thanks for any help in advance!

[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cederic:
You need to use a root file-explorer and then mount the /system folder as RW - the options to do this should be in whatever root explorer you choose to use. Remember to remount back as read-only when you're done deleting, for security.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br0adband:
If you install the Xposed framework and then the Wanam Xposed module it'll offer the ability to shut off that/those sound(s) for you, as well as add a whole bunch of other functionality too. Highly recommended for such tweaks because it's easily reversible courtesy of a checkbox...
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kabilie:
Xposed framework. Heard that was a tricky thing to do with the active.. Or am I wrong?

will test the RW thing tonight. Will let you know how it went
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cederic:
Xposed framework works fine for me on the i9295, but then it's a bit overkill for just disabling the shutter sound - if that's all you want to do, just use the file-delete method. I used ES File Explorer to remount the /system folder and make the change, and have had to redo it after every update of course.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kabilie:
This worked.

Thanks for the help guys!

Question answered
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeLopez:
i think you can just turn off the sound from the camera settings, no need to be going into system files
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cederic:
That is unfortunately not true - Samsung is one of the companies that choose not to give the end user the choice to break the law.

Yes, in some countries it is apparently illegal to turn off the shutter sound, due to rampant upskirt picture taking and so on.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeLopez:
really? check attachment.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cfchong:
I may be wrong here but I think the option is not there unless u installed some mod like Note 2 Hidden Settings.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cederic:
Really - although I should of course only speak for the Active since that's the device I own, I've heard repeatedly that Samsung owners have problems with this. Perhaps some devices are excluded - alas the international S4 Active is not.

Edit: I checked, and that option does indeed exist on certain versions of the S4 - not most of them, and not the S4 Active however, or at least not the international version. I'm guessing you have a regular S4 by the endline of your post - please note that this is the forum for the S4 Active, a completely different device.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kabilie:
Guys guys guys,

The shutter sound setting is there depending on country and their laws on those things.

At my S4 Active that option is not there, read the first post where I talk about changing a word from false to true to activate that option. Still didn't work.

The matter is solved for me but if you don't believe that there ISN'T a settings button... here's a screenshot
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cederic:
It's not entirely country-dependant - it's model and provider dependant. Samsung by default apparently removes the setting. A few providers in the US put it back in their custom versions of the phones - on the regular S4.

Don't worry, it's not an argument - I just think it's better if the real info is in the thread when people go searching for ways to fix this "feature".
