[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hester1902:
I wanted to upgrade my firmware for my i9505. It was rooted so I went back to a stock firmware I had used a month or so ago. Xxuamdm. It went perfectly fine and after rebooting I set about upgrading the software. The first upgrade was nearly 400mb. This downloaded and then installed OK. The next one was about 50mb and the same happened again. Then there was a third one - about 50mb again - except when my phone rebooted it got stuck on the loading screen. I tried to reboot several times but I couldn't get past the Samsung loading screen. Eventually I decided to reflash the stock I had before using Odin again but this time when I went to update the firmware I couldn't turn my WiFi on and also I noticed my sound had stopped working. This is for calls notifications music YouTube everything. I have then tried to update via kies and still I get the same problem. I went to Sammobile and downloaded the most up to date firmware for my device and still no sound or wifi. I then tried a Google ROM I had flashed previously and the WiFi was able to turn on again but still I have no sound. All I want is the latest stock firmware and if I can then root it afterwards that would be a bonus.

I have searched for answers but I can only find two threads - both of which have not offered a solution to my particular issue.

Thanks

Sorry if I have posted in the wrong area but does anyone have any ideas on this? I have managed to flash several different custom roms today - Foxhound, Google Edition, Echoe - each of these has working wifi however none of them have fixed the no sound issue. When I call my phone it I hear ringing from one end but my phone does not even show someone is calling for a good 30 seconds - and I cannot hear anything when I pick up. Once I hang up my phone still thinks I am on a call and wont disconnect for a good 30 seconds.

When I get home later I am going to try and flash the following stock firmwares using Odin:

I9505XXUDMH8_I9505OXXDMHA_BTU

I9505XXUBMGA_I9505OXXBMG3_BTU

Is this a good idea or am I wasting my time and need to do something else?

I desperately need someones help on this - my only other option is to get a new phone and I really cannot afford to do that.

Hey guys, my gf is currently in need of a phone badly on Verizon. I'm hoping to get something under $150 and the Droid 2 seems to be like a viable option. Is it stupid to get this phone? Is it too outdated? Please advise.

[Droid 2 General] jhb04jhb04:
Absolutely! You can get a Droid 2 for under $50 bucks on ebay! Make sure to root it and get rid of all that nasty Verizon bloatware! Dubbsy's LiquiKang v3.2 is great if you want ICS or if you want to stay with GB, get CM7.2, either way, these roms will breathe life into an old but very durable phone! :)

Anybody know why after loading CM, or PAC, PA, or AOKP then loading Gapps in knocks out the keyboard?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeyaan:
what do you mean?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] downhillvinnie:
I am trying different ROMS on the Tab 2, PAC, CM and they don't come with the Google Apps Play Store, so you have to install it separate. The ROM operates normal up until I flash it, then I get this pop up saying AOSP keyboard stop working. I tried flashing older versions as well and it does the same thing.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skywalker.00:
Are you flashing 4.3 ROMs with 4.3 gapps? If not it can cause lots of troubles.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
Also, I know there have been issues with a lot of the 4.3 GAPPs packages causing keyboard FCs. On the Razr M, most people have solved the problem by using Slim's AIO or GAPPs packages. I'm not sure if this would fix it on the Tab. I'm still running Slim 4.2 on my Tab, so I haven't had 4.3 experience on it. However, I have had experience with 4.3 on my Razr and I always flash the Slim AIO package and I've never had an issue.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] downhillvinnie:
Ended up using Carbon Rom and they loaded fine, really wierd
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlabadie:
The AOSP keyboard is now available on the Play Store (free). You may also want to try SwiftKey or TouchPal.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdkingery:
So I went to post my ATT Note 3 on Ebay right. Well, after a very confusing post, I finally found they want 10+% of the sale, which means for me to even get $700 for the phone, I'd have to list it for $777.. Nobody's gonna pay that!

And believe you cannot just immediately delete a post from Ebay. You can one time, and then after that, if there's a bid, you pay the 10% to delete! I won't be using Ebay I can see. Not unless someone is willing to give me $700 plus the $70 for ebay. Damn. Craigslist!

I need to find a way to let ebay people know about my craigslist ad. 10% is too high.

craigslist..

I always meet inside at AT&T store to sell my phone and if we're trading they'll verify the IMEI number before hand. Anyone that you find on craigslist that doesn't want to meet at a store, ignore them and move on.

Anyone know an app that will let me record a professor lecturing and record annotations as they happen to a PowerPoint slideshow? I basically want to be able to record the lecture audio and what I'm doing on screen so I can go back and re-listen to that part of the lecture if I forget something? Possible? Or am I better off just recording the what's happening on screen with a screen capture app that also has audio? Thanks a million.

Greetings all, I have two imate jams and one PC which I would like to have different contacts. Problem is, when I sync with Outlook, both PDA's have the same contacts (combined). Any ideas how to overcome this problem?
[General Topics] Rudegar:
2 different outlook users would fix it

or maybe something in relation to categories
[General Topics] Chatty:
In ActiveSync you switch to "sync only contacts of the following categories". So categorizing your contacts will help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordaccess:
So I like to run and I use Sports tracker and Endomondo to keep track of the distance, speed, calories etc. At some point my phone stopped getting a GPS lock on these apps although Foursquare and Google maps work fine. Even on Endomondo it shows where I am but in the location it says detecting location for ever. On sports tracker it shows the GPS red... Any idea what might cause this? I really like to use these apps if possible...

hello :)

My stock charger is us for galaxy s4 (samsung regular charger)

and then I found this (link above) with 2.1A

is it matter charging via 2.1A and not 2A? what is the different? it will charge faster/slower?

thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] sorg:
In Stock kernel there is current limit 1.9A. So everything above it, will be the same as 1.9A.

In reality, you will find that even 2.1A charger doesn't supply even 1.9A. Chinese charges definitely don't supply current thay claim. And beware of them - you may fry your device by such cheap charger.

Also, it heavily depends on USB cable as well. It has to be very short and very thick.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jev3gs:
I have a Mediabridge car adapter that has a 2.1 amp charger on it. When I charge my S4 with it it barely charges faster than the 1 amp charger does. I think it charges at either 1.3 or 1.7 amps, sorry can't remember exactly.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Badelhas:
How do you measure the exact amperage that it charges at?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jev3gs:
I don't have the equipment to measure it exactly. So what I did was charge my phone from 50% for 40 minutes on my stock Samsung wall charger and then recorder the percentage it increased. I then took that number and assumed it was charging at 2 amps and used it as a baseline. Then I did the same test with my car adapter and recorded the results. The I figured out the percentage difference and came up with me estimates. I just don't have the data in front of me anymore but I remembered it being somewhere between 1.3 or 1.7.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] bonebeatz1234:
The stock charger is fast at charging this phone. On my s3 it took forever . I would stick with stock
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] darixtorento:
ok thanks

more people?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] kierandill:
Chargers, power supplies, etc, don't "decide" the amps that go to a device - the device "draws" a certain amount. Just because a lamp is plugged into a 20amp circuit in your home doesn't mean 20 amps are going to be shoved through the bulb.

So if, as sorg says, the phone is only going to "ask" for 1.9a, you could plug it into a 5 amp charger and it would make no difference.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CZ Eddie:
You already got your answer above.

No, your phone will NEVER charge faster than 1900 until a developer comes along and figures out how to hack the system to allow this. And it would be a potentiallly STUPID idea to charge faster than Samsung has deemed safe.

Go here to find out how to test your charging rate:

I think I got a dud because my battery life is sucking real bad. I had G2 for over a week and I have to say, the battery on G2 blows Note 3 out of the water which bums me out. I mean 7% in 35 minutes is simply unacceptable. Anyone else having similar problems? Should I take it back to the T-Mobile store and ask for a replacement? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Hey buddy I work for tmobile... we are told to let the battery die completely and then charge all the way up to 100 and then unplug.

usually when you get a new battery you're supposed to condition it. but anyways, I usually turn off wifi, gps, disable pen detection when in holster

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dkb218:
Let the plucking battery cycle a couple of times. I'm sorry but youse sound like a bunch of whinny brats. It takes time for the battery to reach peak performance.

Is that with 17 minutes of screen on time? If so, ur battery is fine. Ur on pave for over 7 hours of screen time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kawaisa:
3% in 17 minutes of screen time is not bad at all

Yeah these screenshots without on-screen time are useless.

Even 10 minutes of on screen time for 3% is pretty good - that's on track for 5.5 hours of on-screen time.

Mine seems to be decent. My guess is it can last 4-5 days leave it idle with Wi-Fi on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Gwanatu:
So far seems like turning off auto-scan under advanced WiFi options fixed my battery life. Couldn't figure out for the life of me why WiFi was always showing on when I specifically turned it off. It really was killing my battery, only an hour and a half screen-on time and I was down to 53%! So far I've only gone down 5% in the last hour since turning off that stupid crap. Much better.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] vicegrips:
I'm pretty happy. 34% remaining. 17hrs 26m on battery. 4h 25m screen time. But only 24m 33s voice calls. I've only been on WiFi for the most part, but this is way better than I got with my HTC One in same situation.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XooLoo:
I have turned off the WiFi scanning AND "Keep WiFi on during sleep" (turned to "Never"). Normally with all my other Android devices, this takes care of the WiFi draining the battery during sleep but not on my Note 3. The device does go to sleep as can be seen in the screenshots, but WiFi continues to remain on! Have rebooted several times to be safe to no avail... Any idea as to what might be causing this?!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lennie:
No kernel battery tweaks.

Looking good so far. I have 1 or 2 more full charge/discharge to do and then I can will be confident that the the battery has been conditioned.

Has anyone else seen Android OS being really high on the list for battery consumption?

I still seem to get pretty good battery life but I can't help but think that it could be a little better if Android OS was lower on the list

I dont see anything wrong with that to be perfectly honest. Did you expect this phone to never lose any juice?

I'm getting insane battery life compared to my Galaxy S3. My S3 would be dead by now. Took my phone off the charger at 8:20 AM. Email syncing with Gmail and an exchange account.

Battery is amazing on this phone. I dont think I can go back to anything else now. And yes, Android OS is high, but it doesn't seem to be affecting anything like on the Nexus 4 (that thing had the worst battery life of any phone I've had)

I really need to do some full charge cycles. So far, battery life has been pretty good. I've not yet been able to fully discharge the phone, but i haven't been playing with it as hard as i did the note 2 when i first got it. I disabled the spen when docked, i hardly use any 3rd party wacom stylii. I also will take one poster's advice and disable wifi auto scanning. Im pleased with teh phone, what im really curious of is how much battery life the "smart case" will use. Are those even available yet? I've not yet seen a single note 3 accessory since launch.

Do you guys have Google Now enabled ?

I cant ever get the damn ETA: work/home to work properly so I shut it off. Im wondering if Im also saving battery life.

Location reporting constantly seems like it would be somewhat of a drain no ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Unibrow:
I believe you have to setup home and work as locations within maps under settings and it should then show up in Google now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] phantasybm:
How do you even open Google now on the phone? On the note 2 I just held the menu button but that opens the Samsung search is there any short cut ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bobbyphoenix:
Look in your apps for the blue square with a white g on it that says Google. That's Google Now when you open it. Either put that app on your homescreen, or put the widget on the homescreen. There is no button shortcut for it on the Note 3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XooLoo:
I see that you're keeping the WiFi off... I've come to the same conclusion. It's insane how some apps (can't name names because I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONES! lol) keep the WiFi running even with all the current settings in place, which causes unreasonable battery drain. My home WiFi has a downstream of 20Mbps vs. my LTE of +30Mbps and I have the business unlimited (no throttling, etc.) so I'm not worried about any overages. That alone has improved my battery life so much....

I have an LG O G Pro & Have offer by shopkeeper to exchange with G2 with nominal price ~50$. :D

The Problem is if I buy LG G2 Device in now With 4.2.2 than their always is Problems with LG Updates: :eek:

May be LG Will Update it to 4.3 in 2014 & 4.4 in 2015 if they remember that g2 is manufactured by LG.Worst if they update but not to 4.3 or 4.4 but only security patches as they done with LG OG.So What are Views on LG Update policy.:crying:

Also I know about Nexus. But not want to buy outdated phone now. Waiting could kill current offer.

[G2 General] joshuadjohnson22:
Don't buy phones based off of what may happen, base it off of what is available. This is a beautiful device that works well, easy to install recovery, and hopefully development will explode. If there is an update in the future wonderful if not... it is still nice. We don't even know what features 4.4 will bring yet so we must wait.

Bottom line... you have a better chance getting updates with the g2 then the o g pro
[G2 General] WheresTrent:
I'd like to think maybe LG will skip 4.3 and go right to KitKat, but because it's wishful thinking on my part, that's probably not going to happen.
[G2 General] NaveenKumarXDA:
Leave alone kitkat, I fear for 4.3 will not come before half 2014
[G2 General] antinorm:
LG has released the kernel source (at least for the VZW G2), so hopefully this will help development.

[G2 General] Sushiglobster:
Excellent!

Good things are abound from this community and this phone.
[G2 General] Ascertion:
I had Samsung since the original Galaxy S series - and they took FOREVER to release updates until the GS3 hit the market. LG appears to be doing the same thing (LG OG is on the same android version as GS3 as of now.)

Maybe LG will pull a Samsung and start updating their devices a bit more. I held in with Samsung and updates got better. LG should be the same.
[G2 General] ericdabbs:
Honestly why do you care about 4.3. I want LG to just skip to 4.4 kitkat and have it released by early 2014.
[G2 General] staticx57:
I am still undecided between with this phone. However with 4.2.2 it would actually be a downgrade for me. 4.3 brings about TRIM which is far superior to the discard option previous versions of android use.
[G2 General] ericdabbs:
LOL its so funny how a thing like this is going to discourage you from getting the LG G2. Prior to July, I don't see people complaining. Besides I am sure that people are working on a 4.3 ROM right now. 4.3 will be nothing but a breeze in the next 2 months as devs start lusting over 4.4. By then LG will begin building a 4.4 ROM. 4.3 is nothing merely than a stop gap until 4.4 comes out.
[G2 General] carakamuda:
4.3 and 4.4 is good to have but it's not something urgent for me. Good if they can come out with swift updates.

LG is aiming to gain sizeable market with the G2, it'll be foolish for them to leave out updates.
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
My buddy just updated his HTC One to 4.3 today and he said it brought about transition animation lag that wasn't there before. To be honest I would rather just wait until 4.4 or at least until LG optimizes the next version no matter what it be.
