[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mjs2011:
Hi everyone,

I decided to try to install the new KitKat Rom on my phone, but things didn't go very well and now my phone won't turn on. These are the steps I took. Please help!

- I bought a pack of KitKat bars at a local grocery store

- I put the KitKats in a bowl and crushed them and heated it in the microwave for 15 seconds

- I then rebooted my phone to stock recovery, then placed in the bowl with the crushed and melted KitKat bars. I left my phone there for 30 minutes.

- When I took my phone out of the bowl, I wiped the KitKats off of my phone. Unfortunately they were caked on very thick.

- Having trouble wiping my phone, I turned on the faucet and washed my phone off.

- After drying my phone off with a towel, I noticed that the phone was still damp and also noticed that the screen wasn't working properly.

- I then placed my phone in the microwave for 30 seconds to finish drying. Upon hitting start, I noticed a couple of sparks inside the microwave.

- After removing my phone from the microwave, there was a fowl smell coming from the phone and now it won't turn on.

Am I bricked, or will flashing a stock Rom using Odin fix the issue?

Thanks!

Gingerbreads the way to go.

Also, try oven for drying, microwaves cause overheating and bootloops

I believe the microwave needs to be at 50% power, try freezing your apps first (works quicker if you put it closer to the popsicles), and try again.

You used the new kit Kat mini's right? Otherwise yeah your phones toast, as in you need to toast it to get back to stock, but make sure you use the bagel setting, you don't want the damage the LCD!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ParkerParker:
As long as you used twrp 2502 there shouldn't be any problems, you may need to wipe 3to4 times before rinsing

i know you said your having trouble with the phone turning on but hows the battery life without all that display drain? to fix the phone not turning on i would suggest changing the kernel.....i myself prefer orville redenbacher.....fits perfectly in the battery slots and the headphone jack.....ide keet aways from heat sources if you use it though could cause some minor explosions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] GuestD0701:
When I read the 1st few lines of the op I was thinking, there's already a kit kat rom!!!?? ? lol!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] xxxicu812:
OK I think I can help. I know a guy that knows a guy that knows a guy that works at Sprint, he says you should just take the battery out for 15 minutes then back in and boom problem solved.

You beat me to it, I thought "Kit Kat isn't out yet......this guy's probably in a world of hurt", but then I read the post and got a good ab workout from keeping the laughter in while I'm at work.

To fix, I might recommend jumping several generations ahead and trying the yet-to-be-ever-popular Reese's Cup version. Same steps, but better candy.

Hi all,

Does anyone know how I can attach files to email using a web browser? I am using an O2 Mini with a gmail account, at work I can browser the net, but cannot send or receive emails using any standard messaging prog, ie webis mail or such.

Both pocket Ie and opera ( and minimo) dont let me see the 'browse files to attach' button.

At home I can attach files with no issues, but the home network is one that I have setup and control. The work network in not one that support ppc use. frankly the it guys aren't sure how I can browse the web at all.

Any ideas?

thanks

ray
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] fone_fanatic:

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] TheBrit:
Go to Gmail, activate POP3 in the options and then follow the instructions here: http://www.ppcsg.com/mobile/index.php/t60214.html

You PPC will then be able to use its email client to access your Gmail client and then attachments should no longer present a problem.
[HTC One X] nappen87:
I have a Htc one x that im realy happy with. it works perfect. after i upgraded the batteri from the hox+

buth my backplate have seen better day´s

is it possible to use the hox+ backplate on the hox? or have they moved the terminals in the backplate?

i like the feel on the hox+ backplate so my idé was to swap it.
[HTC One X] matt95:
They're identical so you can replace it i guess
[HTC One X] Tigerlight:
They are definitely externally identical...but internal connections I do not know. You would have to compare teardowns of the devices to determine differences, if any. But I would not assume they are internally identical.
[HTC One X] davitox87:
From what I heard you have to use a dremel on the one x+ casing to get it to fit. Don't ask me what you have to do exactly because I don't know. All I know is that I read it when I was following the one x+ battery upgrade thread.

Hello from a new HTC One user! I haven't find an answer using search, so here's my first question for the community.

Stock SMS application shows contact pictures only on the first screen, the one where all the conversations are listed. When I tap to enter a specific conversation with one of my contacts, there are only message bubbles without contact pictures next to them.

Is this some kind of bug or it is intentionally done this way?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickythefox:
This seems to be a bug.

FIX: run the following command, then reboot your phone:

adb shell sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db "CREATE TRIGGER unrestrict_new_data AFTER INSERT ON raw_contacts BEGIN UPDATE raw_contacts SET is_restricted=0 WHERE _id=NEW._id and NEW.is_restricted!=0; END; CREATE TRIGGER unrestrict_updated_data AFTER UPDATE OF is_restricted ON raw_contacts BEGIN UPDATE raw_contacts SET is_restricted=0 WHERE _id=NEW._id and NEW.is_restricted!=0; END; UPDATE raw_contacts SET is_restricted=0 WHERE is_restricted!=0;"

If there is a need for a fix that does not require mad adb skills I will create a flashable package that does the above through TWRP/CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaesarIV:
So yeah I recently wanted to root my Nexus and after failing initially I took a peek here so I've been using Samsung Galaxy Nexus Toolkit V11.1.0, and here's what happened.

I picked my build which is JRO03C (Although it was not this one before my initial attempt).

I installed the drivers with no problem

I unlocked the bootloader but something weird happened - It rebooted into the Fastboot mode, and got stuck there, as in Pressing the volume keys doesn't change the option, it's always locked on the green "START", so I manually boot it into fastboot and it then proceeds to say "FAILED" on the toolkit, and it's on Waiting on device which I then boots

This happens when I try to do anything that has to do with FASTBOOT mode, It always Hangs on Start and waits for me to manually reboot it into bootloader and fails to do whatever it was trying to do.

Any ideas? Thanks and sorry if this has been asked before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bananagranola:
Try doing it manually without the toolkit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaesarIV:
False alarm... my PC had messed up drivers I guess, tried on another fresh Laptop and it worked flawlessly, thanks anyways!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btk97:
Hi guys, how are you?

I'm currently planning on getting this device and after reading some reviews and threads in this forum I'm aware of the thermal throttling that the Nexus 4 shows when under high usage or benchmarks.

I live in Brazil and I'd like to know better if this issue really affects daily usage, like long gaming periods, or we only notice that when benchmarking the device.

Do you consider buying this smartphone a good deal? The price around here is actually very good.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
I really don't think it's a big deal. If thermal throttling is a big deal to you, you can switch to a custom kernel that allows you to change it.

And yes, this phone is a great deal and still a highly recommended purchase.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Long gaming you will notice it when it throttles for sure.

Whether you want to deal with it or mod it is another story. But on stock with long intensive gaming you will notice and it will annoy you.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
It will not matter for apps, but games will suffer from drop in frame rates, but they'll still be playable. I get 25-30fps for Asphalt 8 with this device (stock), but it's a very demanding game. I really haven't had a bad experience.

If you know how to install custom kernel you can raise the throttling temperature or overclock the GPU.

You might want to wait and get the Nexus 5 if you want better gaming performance.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koniakki:
Its just the model number the SM-N900. And the exynos 5420 is NOT an octacore SoC. It's a 4+4.

Even when Samsung enables the all core usage it still will be a 4+4 SoC. They will just be able to run simultaneously. ;)

Based on specs the Mali is paired with the octa-core so you should have it, but from earlier articles they said the first batch is suppose to only ship with the quad.

Hi guys

due to the fact that there is no stable cyanogenmod 10.2, I'm using 10.1.3 right now.

So, is there an AOSP kernel for Android 4.2.2 with OTG support?

I actually flashed teamseven's kernel, but it does not support OTG and other AOSP kernels I saw were set up for 4.3.

Thanks, kind regards.

Guyx i need a kernel for Sense 2.1 GB so taht i can increase the benchmark scores ... i want to use sense 2.1 cause i haven't tried it yet .. thats why .. but the stock kernel performance is very poor in gaming ... like ive used Kangroo r22 in sense 3.6 n it was superb ... it increased the gaming performance but the stock ics was alot laggy ...

can anyone give me the kernel for stock 2.1 GB ? i want to increase the performance n i also needed sweep2wake ....

[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
If the links in the Development section are dead, then you are out of luck.

You do realized that even though you just purchased your IncS, this phone is almost 3 years old, so most of the devs have moved on. We are fortunate that poondog still has his IncS and has produced his Kangaroo kernel even though he has moved to a HTC One as his daily driver plus his Nexus 7.

Hi,

From my PDA I can access the internet over the USB connection by having pass through on activesync set to the internet on the PC.

I would like to be able to access shared folders on my PC from my PDA over the USB connection. Is this possible. If it has to go over activesync that's ok.

BTW: My PDA is a Magician.

Thanks,

Stekke.

Best way is through 3rd Party software Z2 PocketLan, will even create shortcuts. Will work over wifi, BT, Activesync etc as use it at home to stream music to PDA

totalcommander explicitely states in the faq that over USB through active sync is not supported.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Matt Bernius:
I've had 3 hardware problems develop all at the same time:

The charging port has stopped reliably working

The headset jack is beginning to fail

The dreaded "No SIM Detected"

I know that the first two are relatively easy repairs if you can solder.

The third is a bit more of an issue. Reading here and in other places it sounds like it *might* be a bad SIM card reader (or a bad connection). Others have suggested that it could be a motherboard issue (not sure if that's the correct term for a phone).

Either way, the phone needs repairs and they seem way above my current paygrade/project time. Unfortunately my Note is out of warranty. :(

So, my bright friends, any suggestions on who to turn to? If I contact Samsung, how much might I be looking at for the repair? I'm primary interested in solving the SIM card reader thing first as I'd still like to use this unit as a phone.
