[HTC Desire S] #Fear:
Check under settings - mobile network - network mode, set that to wcdma only or wcdma preferred.

[HTC Desire S] uikab89:
i have done thits too, in fact when i put to wcdma only i lose my signal. so i change it again to gsm/wcdma auto.
[HTC Desire S] #Fear:
Try again, after selecting wdcma go to network operators, choose select network automatically or vise versa.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PartisanEntity:
Hi all,

I am hunting for a Kernel that can give me improved battery life on the Nexus 4.

At the moment I am using stock 4.3 Android (I did try CM and AOKP in the past).

Today I installed the matr1x kernel v11 as I heard good things about battery life.

All seems to be working fine except for the following:

When I am swiping screens, I notice some graphical stuttering, as if certain areas of the screen are not running the animations as fast as others, i.e. screen tearing

Anyone else experience this? What could be the cause?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PartisanEntity:
Please ignore/delete.

Did some more reading, and found a patch for matr1x kernel and screen tearing on JWR based ROMs.

[General Questions and Answers] d10nt3:
I wouldn't. The specs are pretty poor. It's nice that there are devs for the phone and decent roms but it's only 3g, doesn't have an hd resolution, and the front camera is pretty bad. I'd look around on ebay for used phones. That's what I just had to do. I bricked my s3 so I had to get a new phone for cheap (since my contract was up). It'll be your best bet if you're looking for a replacement. Try one of the older nexuses like the nexus s or the galaxy nexus.
[HTC One S] xMallex:
I tried to SuperCID my HTC One S S4. I worked till there. I have now SuperCID BUT I ReLocked my Bootloader for s-off. Because I have now a new CID I got a new Unlock_code from HTCDev. If i try to Flash it via. Fastboot it success, but when I hit "yes" the Phone is still in "Relocked" mode. The Phone can't boot, because of boot.img and recovery.img which are custom and I forgot to change.

Is there anyway to get the Unlock_code.bin to work?

Thanks for every Respeonse I get.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Dabreaker9:
Let me elaborate:

So earlier today I was messing around with Density Changer while going to Kingsville to see my brother. I was messing around with the DPI value, changing it from 480 to 420 and such. I changed it to 520 and, like normal, asked me to reboot. I rebooted.

The phone started up a lot longer than usual. I thought that this was just a simple glitch, but it took longer for a reason. The time and date on my lock screen wasn't working. Messaging, Contacts, Camera, Samsung keyboard, and the sort wasn't working. Worst of all, TouchWiz wasn't working either. In panic, I tried to open Density Changer from settings but couldn't. I reset my phone to the factory settings. It was rather quick to format (I didn't have much except for some PSP roms and gallery images). I was relieved for a bit, but when it booted it was still unfunctional, not to mention the keyboard still didn't work, so I had to skip a ton of steps. Since TouchWiz was still broken, I set the home screen to Easy Mode. When I looked around with Easy Mode, I realized that you can run apps there without it crashing. I felt so dumb. So now I can't log in to the Play Store to undo what I did, I don't have the app anymore, TouchWiz won't work, I don't even know if I can recieve messages, yada yada. I feel like I am so screwed.

TL;DR changed the DPI from 480 to 520, all hell went loose. did factory reset in panic, even more screw.

Does anyone know what I can do instead of sending it for repair? I don't think AT&T will be able to repair it anyways-- just to give me a new phone. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] wawis:
Try download the last official att rom and use odin. You can find it here in XDA forum. Good luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Dabreaker9:
I appreciate that you want to help! It means a lot. :) But before I attempt this, does this change absolutely EVERYTHING to default? I think the reason why my phone got so messed up was because the DPI was too high. :/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Do you know what firmware you're on? And if you have a custom recovery did you make a nandroid before you started messing around? If you did, like you should have, just restore that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Agent:
MAKE SURE YOUR NOT ON THE MF3 UPDATE. IF YOU ARE DO NOT ATTEMPT.

If your running MDL or lower, then download the MDL package and flash it with odin. It will indeed make everything stock.

MDL Package

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23134718111253756

Odin

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23134718111253763

1. Place phone in download mode

2. Hook to computer via USB

3. Open Odin

4. Click the PDA button and place the MDL file you just downloaded there.

5. Click start.

The process will take a few minutes, so don't panic. Let me know if that fixed it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Dabreaker9:
Shoot, man. I'm on the MF3 update. I have root though, will that help with fixing it?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
Go to a Best Buy that has a Samsung Experience booth and see if they will restore factory MF3 for you. Then, I suggest you don't do ANYTHING to your phone but use it for calls and stock abilities.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] deadenz:
it really amazes me just how many people in the past few days have screwed up their phones, and the ONLY reason is because they didn't read
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
Yep, the more popular the phone, the more people that get a hold of it that shouldn't be doing anything with it except making calls. Laziness and ignorance will create a brick every time. The truly funny part is how quick they run here to make a post for people to fix their screw-ups, but they wouldn't come here to take a little time and effort to learn and read about what to do and how to do it in the first place.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Dabreaker9:
Hey, now. I almost have it fixed. I just need the .apk file for Density Changer so I can install it, paste "480" into the box and reboot. :) Would someone be so kind to do it for me? This laptop is a school laptop which has Fortinet as an antivirus and a website restrictor. I would do it myself but my parents are considering taking me to AT&T ASAP when I go back home tomorrow.

But, yeah. I should have read on. I know that bigger values made the screen smaller, but I guess the S4 goes crazy when that happens.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] upndwn4par:
You can try using a root level file explorer to navigate to /system, long press build.prop to open with a text editor, find the following line and change it to 480, then reboot. Root Explorer or ES File Explorer will do what you need.

ro.sf.lcd_density=480
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Dabreaker9:
Keyboard doesn't work. I was almost going to do that until I realized it. I'm just looking around for any DPI changing applications that allow it to any number (LCD Density Changer only allows it to 280).

I would set it to 280 if I could handle the small-ass icons. I can't, so I'm not gonna bother with that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Dabreaker9:
God damn, man. You say it like you've never messed up something on your phone before. I know, I'm a **** for not reading if it was safe, but I'm almost positive you've messed up one way or another before?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] upndwn4par:
Ooops. missed the keyboard part.

What ROM are you running? Stock MF3?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Dabreaker9:
The default MF3, yeah. Fixed it with www-57.zip-pysha-re.co-m/v/78538033/file.html (remove those dashes). I went on Google Chrome and used voice recognition to get 460, pasted it in the DPI box, applied it. Everything's good now. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Agent:
Umm... Yeah Scott is a little grumpy when he sees things over and over again lol. I'm glad you were able to get it fixed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
Well, it's really not about messing up. What is done is done. It's about learning from it and not doing it again. I can tell you are on the right path because you are trying to fix it. You screwed up... a lot of people screw up...what is important is not doing it again. Always read as much as you can about anything before you try it. It's just a phone and it is always replaceable but you can save yourself a lot of trouble by reading before doing. Like I said, i think you realize that. I'm sure you don't want to go through this type of trouble again to just get the phone working. What you did (change the dpi) isn't a big deal but it has big consequences. I was mostly referring to people that that try to "root", put custom recoveries on their phones, custom ROMs, etc. There is so much information about these things in the XDA forums it isn't funny, yet people think they don't need to read and learn about it or they think their time is too valuable. But as soon as they screw up (and they always do), all of the sudden, they find the time to come to XDA and beg for someone to fix their phone. As soon as someone points out that they should have read and learned in the first place, they get a smug attitude and act like people "owe" them a fix for their stupidity. Like I said, not necessarily your situation, but it happens all of the time regardless.

**Edit**

I'm am glad you fixed your phone and is is encouraging to see how much work and effort you put into fixing it. It would be nice if everyone put that kind of effort into fixing their phones. I have a feeling you will do just fine with modifying your phone.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] latrotoxin1986:
Alright, so my phone is really messed up. I wiped my internal data in recovery intending to flash back to full stock using LGNPST. Only problem is...LGNPST is failing...repeatedly...using every .bin available. Luckily, I still have access to TWRP. Already been in IRC, autoprime told me to try side-loading a ROM using ADB. I've never used ADB before, and quite frankly, my attention spam is waning at this point and frustration is mounting and I'd like to get this done quickly and not have to do a ton of reading.

I have downloaded the adt-bundle-windows-x86 file that contains two files, one marked SDK, the other marked Eclipse. If someone could walk me through, starting from one of these two folders(eclipse or sdk), step by step what I need to do to sideload a ROM to get my phone functional again, I would be very appreciative. I'm going to start reading, see if I can figure it out right now, but my hopes aren't real high. This is very foreign to me and I'm sure someone could tell me how to knock this out in just a few steps.

Thank you in advance friends.

If you update your path environment. You dont have to change directories everytime you go to adb or fastboot.

Hi everyone

I would really love to use the AOSP based roms but when comparing them to Touchwiz I can't understand why Touchwiz can handle the resolution better compared to AOSP. As an example, the Google Keyboard looks so blurred and big for the screen when it can be made smaller. Touchwiz's new keyboard is a great example of this.

I'm just wondering if it's just me or is there a way to make the rom focus more on resolution.

Trying to fix my Bluetooth issue, as chronicled in detail here.

Wanted to ask you devs where Bluetooth configuration or a related error log is stored on the i9505G so I can take a look at it; something is stopping my BT from being able to turn on; it used to work fine pre-root (heck, even post-root for a day or so).

I figured the developers would be the best people to ask since you'd be familiar with the folder structure and config files.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJHawaii:


KrossX this is the second time you have posted questions in the development forum. As I stated before these are for Q&A NOT here. Please refrain from posting your questions here and READ the XDA users guide and forum rules again. There is a reason for this. I am glad your part of the community and your questions and comments are noteworthy you just need to put them in the right place. We read those threads as well! MJ:)

This is for Development ONLY
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJHawaii:
Yes PLEASE no name calling we all make mistakes and this thread will be moved soon to the proper place

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrossX:
I thought that since I was aiming this more at the devs it would've been in the Dev forums. Sorry for having you move yet another thread of mine.

Didn't mean to cause a ruckus; never really got a chance to read the post by deaffob above before it was edited by the mod so no offense from whatever name-calling was done, haha.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrossX:
Good news and bad news.

Bad news: I am unable to run logcat; I am unable to access my device via USB ever since the root and when I tried doing the logcat steps, yet again it couldn't connect to my device.

Good news: I believe the solution to this issue (being unable to access my device via USB) may also lie in the logs along with the bluetooth issue. The reason why is because of this error message I received while trying to reinstall the USB driver (attached pic); it points to not being able to "start" a device. I think this will all eventually tie-in with some services not running correctly on my phone.

So, is there another way for me to post a log for you kind folks to review on here via my phone directly?

If I can do that via catlog app on my device, let me know what sort of log (which options) I'd need to run and post. Thanks!
