[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rippey574:
I used the latest version root method on a new s4. Now after reboot the system updates do not stay updated on reboot, quick or standard. Also link2sd can not uninstall system apps like boat ware.

Any one have this issue or a fix for it? I believe it's a permission issue, but I am not sure which folder or file I need to correct.

I do have root access and can log in as su in terminal and use my rooted apps. I am running Supersu.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] papstar:
Which system updates are you referring to? Verizon's OTA updates?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rippey574:
I am using the baseband I545VRUAME7, used the method from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2380325.

Just got off work, I do 12 hour days and didn't have time to timely respond to your question.

Could this be a permission issue in the app directory?

I re-ran the rooting SD card I used so I could get the terminal log

Also I notice I have a unlocked padlock on the initial boot screen, i don't have another to compare to but is this normal?

Still need help

I am still getting

. I have re-flashed the rom with the original . I have developer options and unknown sources enabled.

Can any one shed some light on what this error is or how to correct it? This may be my issue.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] abc20000:
I recently bought one of these cases for my nexus 7 from ebay - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nexus-7-Sli...vers_Keyboard_Folios&var=&hash=item61d421e990

The latch that holds it closed is actually a magnet, now I didn't think about it before, but could the magnets for the latch damage the screen?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] abc20000:
OK the latch magnet is actually facing which allows it to stick to the metal button. But the side that faces the screen, that did of the magnet has a little magnetic strength.

Anyone know if that could mess the screen up? Perhaps cause dark spots?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] iamezio:
there are many devices with magnets , Galaxy S4 , iPads , this Nexus and the previus, it shouldn't be a problem.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] abc20000:
Thanks, I just meant because there is a magnet above the screen perhaps it would damage it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Asus_USA:
The magnet on the case should not affect the tablet's IPS panel in any way - or any capacitive input screen, for that matter. You should be fine with the case. However, the Nexus does have a magnetometer, so I'm not sure if it would affect that in any way. I don't think it will if you're using it with the flap open, though. The magnetometer is located on the side of the screen, so with the flap open, it should be far enough away that it won't screw up any readings. Plus that looks like a pretty small magnet anyways.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] abc20000:
Oh ok, good to know. Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saiyaru:
Im sorry if i write a lil to wrong thread, but anyway,

i wanna cancel my google play developer account in reason because i can't get payments from them. theres no way to set up merchant account properly with my country bank.

I asked google to close my account and refund, however... i have uploaded one TEST app. witch is nothing. but google wont allow me to delete that app. and thats why they wont refund.

they respond:

"We would like to offer a solution, however. If you are able to find another Android developer to buy or otherwise receive your apps, we will be happy to transfer the apps to the another Developer Console account. Once your Developer Console account no longer has any apps associated with it, we can close the account and issue you a refund"

so, is there someone here who would gladly help and allow google to transfer one test app from my account to his acc? so my acc would have ZERO apps instead of this one test app now. and then i could get my refund :fingers-crossed:

hi folks. i got one in germany. ^^

is it possible to play native 24 bit tracks or is it only "intern mathematics"?

where can i get 24 bit test songs and what player will work with 24 bit streams?

thx
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @rbiter:
Hdtracks has a free sampler. 5 songs. Nordic has some too. Look around. Stock music player should do it.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DOMin8or:
i`ve downloaded some 24 bit files.

and the inbuild player will flag it as UHQ 24 BIT.

it seems the inbuild player can handle 24 bit sounds.

the question is, is it real 24 bit, or wil reduce a codec first to 16 bit...

i cant hear big differences about 16 and 24 bit. but my actual headset isn`t the best.

but it sounds a bit more bass full, than the original.

see my screenshot...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkjedi:
Is this for the Exynos or the Snapdragon?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
It's true 24-bit, not downsampled to 16-bit as it has been previously on Android.

In a blind volume-matched comparison with a 16-bit file I can virtually guarantee you won't be able to detect a difference if there aren't meaningful differences in their mastering.

Guys i bought this international version (SM N900) and when i install waza i got this render problem where there are lots of white blocks and sometimes the font was blocky too.. anyone have this problem? I already tried uninstall and re-install it but the problem still exist.. its really annoying.. since i really like to use waze..
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
http://www.waze.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=3

Post in the Waze forum about it. However, I thought this was already fixed in the last version released a few weeks ago (From changelog: Full support for 1080 pixel devices)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelduy:
But my xperia z is 1080p too.. and it doesn't any problem?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BBFreak:
I use Waze everyday and have no issues. I've had mine for a well but I'm using the SM-9005 Snapdragon version.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
BTW, the missing tiles issue has been a long standing random issue for a while but it's usually one or two tiles off in the distance, not ones up close. So if you're on a good connection (say wifi) and you just randomly scroll around, do you see tiles come and go (like.. they're loaded, but don't show sometimes) or does it refuse to load certain tiles? I've seen both behaviors, but good information to have if you post on the Waze forums.

Blurry/fuzzy fonts was a problem a year or so ago, but hadn't heard of it again since.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ComradeZ:
Ok from the beginning:

Stock rom

rooted Stock Rom with Galaxy Note 2 Toolkit

Installed TWRP

Everything works great for MONTHS.

Last night:

Went into TWRP, made a backup

Wiped everything

Installed this pile of crap http://galaxynote2root.com/sprint-g...-mobilesprintverizoncanadiangt-n7100gt-n7105/

Yes, they have a sprint l900 file there to use.

rebooted, everything all good. nice fast rom.

Left it plugged in to charge.

This morning: The phone is warm to touch and does not boot.

Managed to get to download mode and use Odin3.09 to install latest stock rom

rebooted and everything was stock.

Now the device reboots after a second of being plugged in, but there is graphics corruption and the back light does not turn on.

If I go to download mode, I can plug in the charger.

Inside Download mode, all specs are 'Official' stock. 5 counts on the flash counter.

any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
I tried that rom a while back but I had to return to my fav tw based rom due to the known issues with those aosp roms. Data connectivity is terrible and thats a priority for me. Anyway its very easy to download & flash the wrong rom. If you accidently flash a rom for a gsm phone that could be the source of your problem. If you know for a fact you flashed the correct rom then id suspect a kernel or partition issue.

This is what I'd do. Odin back to the stock unrooted LJC then go from there to get back to rooted MC2 and see if you have the same problem. If the problem continues then you have a hardware problen or bad battery and yyou'll need to go to the Sprint store for TEP service.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ComradeZ:
Odin it back to MC2 non root. Now whenever I plug in a charger, the phone reboots then the backlight turns off.

I'll try the LJC however I was told due to the emmc fix in MC2 that it will nbot let you go back to LJC.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ComradeZ:
UPDATE: Phone stays on when in Download Mode. I heard I can charge it this way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] garwynn:
Not true, you can go back but you have to do via CWM/TWRP. (Not eMMC, bootloader was modified)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
Try this: Remove your micro sd card then backup everything on your internal storage to your computer. Then use odin to return to stock unrooted LJC or MC2. You will want to use reset the flash counter while your at it. Once done see how your phone acts. If the problem continues then I'd go to your closest corporate Sprint store that has a service center. Hopefully you have TEP. At that point id have to assume you have a hardware problen. If you repair your phone's partitions using odin to flash it back to stock, that should do the trick. If not you'll need a new phone in my opinion.

Keep us posted on your findings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ComradeZ:
Yeah, thats what I'm afraid of. I've used Odin to bring it back to MC2 but not LJC.

I thought TriangleAway did not work on note 2?

Also I replaced the USB board thinking it was that.

Same thing happens. Runs perfect on battery, soon as I plug it in, bam restart. No charge led or anything.

Problem is that this phone was a gift from a friend. It's clean ESN Sprint phone being used on a local MVNO.

I do not know how warranty stands on this phone then.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
I don't know what MVNO is but I assume its a different carrier where you live. Since you didn't buy the phone from Sprint or an authorized retailer then you don't have any type of warranty to fall back on and you obviously don't have sprint's insurance so you're basically sol in that dept. Hopefully you can figure out what's causing the problem. I'd try putting in a different battery to see if your battery is bad. Borrow a battery at a sprint store, Verizon, AT&TT, etc. Pop it in and see what happens. Are you using the original Samsung charger? I bet it's your battery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ComradeZ:
I'm pretty sure this is the exact same thing that happens to like 80% of the note 2 after exactly 6 months or a year. Replaced the USB board and used different batteries. Even JTAGed it to see if all the binaries were correct.

It comes down to the charging IC being piss poor in combination of a crap designed USB charge board.

I would not recommend anyone buy a Note 2 or 3 based on many many many people having the no charge / reboots issue.

Scumbag Samsung.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] tx_dbs_tx:
I've never had a problem with my charge port. Bought my note 2 the week it was released. Maybe your phone wasn't exactly pampered before you got it. Lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ComradeZ:
When I opened it up, there was no dust no lint nothing. Never was used beyond a wifi hotspot. =P

Got the USB board replaced, same thing. =(

Funny how thousands of people have this phone but apparently no one else on earth has the same problem as I.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mjames_84:
Well I've not got my Exec setup how I want it with everything installed, and I've got a few MBs left so I'm looking for some innovative and fun games to have on there.

Perhaps some good puzzle games that make u think, or (in an almost Nintendo DS way) make use of the touch screen interface. One good example I found was a game mentioned on Tekguru that involves making a bridge out of girders (called simply enough Girders). It was simple, different and fun.

So can anyone suggest other games in a similar vein?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] craigiecraigie4:
sudoku - awesomely addictive - even when u can crack them in ur sleep u still enjoy doing them.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mjames_84:
Good suggestion, and a great puzzle game too!

Anymore suggestions for time wasting games and puzzles? :lol:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] findus:
My favourite game is Crazy Bubbles by PocketMind. Not sure if it works with WM5 though, will check it when my exec turns up on Saturday. I seem to remember it working with WM5 on my Himalaya though so it should be fine. I also love the NES emulator "PocketNES" as you can get all the old NES puzzle games as well as a really cool version of Monopoly.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] deathshead:
Just got off the line with Verizon, im on a launch day galaxy nexus and called to see if I could upgrade to a n3 and keep unlimited data.

I originally preordered under my month to month feature phone line and saw people able to keep unlimited.

I called and the rep Dawn said she personally owns a n2 and is upgrading, I did not pry, but she said "when they ship out on the 4th"

I asked and she confirmed multiple times that they are shipping on the 4th..

I have the whole call recorded, I just need to edit and upload.

So, I was able to upgrade the main line and confirm I could keep unlimited data.

The extra treat was her telling me multiple times that they are shipping on the 4th and us guys who preordered should get our devices

On the 5th.

Again, I have the proof on the recorded call and I will be posting a link shortly.

I can't vouche for honesty of the rep, she sounded informed and checked with supervisor multiple times...

Let's see how this plays out!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nimski62:
Att shipped out today! I will have mine tomorrow. Hopefully you get yours by the 5th! Slow verizon!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] niners:
when did ATT charge your card before they shipped?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] deathshead:
Omfg this gnex is so slow to edit this call!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hctimin:
Which would mean that I wouldn't get it until the 7th since I'm having it shipped to my office :(

That would still be (3) days earlier, which would still make me happy, but I can't say that it doesn't hurt to see other people on other carriers get theirs sooner even though Verizon announced pre-ordering first. #StupidFirstWorldProblems
[Galaxy Note 3 General] f-castrillo:
Interesting...I wonder if stores will have it on the 4th...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MikebikesNYC:
Definitely hopeful that this isn't a hoax!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MeridianSun:
Talked to a rep earlier about upgrading my shipping to overnight and she said maybe the 8 or 10
[Galaxy Note 3 General] deathshead:
Trying to edit the call recording on my gnex folks, please bear with me
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MeridianSun:
I'm not doubting you, just stating my experience today
[Galaxy Note 3 General] alprazolam:
Oh for the love of all that is good! You should have picked a different title for the thread. People who are freaking psycho over a phone are gonna flame the hell out of you if it doesn't ship out on the 4th.

I personally enjoy reading what others are told and the rumors that may or may not be true. We could do a fantasy league for phone ship dates. Oh the passionate discussions. :)

Seriously, thanks for posting. I'm definitely ready to go get my new GN3. Crazy how my old phone suddenly seems like total crap and the only resolution is a GN3!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] circlebar:
Went by my verizon corporate store after a deer tried to jump over my van and crashed into the back of it. Then a red wasp attacked me going down the road, after a panic stop the seat belt hung my shell holster. Didn't see it in the road and ran over it. Had to get another. Anyway they said the 11th for the N3 in store.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Drstovetop:
Who Ships on a Friday?

I don't hold anyone responsible for "leaked" info that doesn't actually come to fruition, I think we are all hearing different things (because no one really knows), and no one should get bent out of shape over a phone. I will miss my beloved GNEX. ALTHOUGH, WTF VZW? Who ships on a Friday? I really hope they meant arriving on the 4th. Anyway, I checked with the store I preordered mine at here in Seattle. They told me it was supposed to ship this week, in typical VZW fashion, they will be the last carrier to ship. The guys said they would update me with the shipping info when it ships. Waiting impatiently!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] deathshead:
K- Heres some of the 45min call,

Who knows.. lol 1 track listen 45sec in. you hear "Dawn" get excited herself and say "oh my god"

about keeping unlimited data.Booyah!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SgtGoldy:
For your sake i hope our happens on the fourth. If not stay away from the pitchforks.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] deathshead:
Pitchforks for the rep dawn not me! I didn't say it, lol

Also,please excuse my annoying demeanor on the calls, I'm 1 half pint of jagermeister and 4 mooseheads in on this call after a stressful day at work!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MikebikesNYC:
I listened to the .mp3 files, and yes, you're right. The rep did confirm the 4th. I hope she actually knows what she's talking about. The fact that the Verizon Galaxy S 4 released a week earlier than the pre-order date is encouraging.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Richluck:
Question?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rushless:
Well, at least more acceptable than the eleven day early thread that also had nothing firm to support it. This thread at least has a date closer to the publicly stated 10/10 date. By default, this one has less days to bridge. Still seems unlikely, but a relative perspective to the inside leak thread of being closer to 10/10.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ronaldheld:
FWIW my store has been claiming the 10th for a couple of weeks? next Thursday is not all that far away.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] f-castrillo:
I hope that if it hits stores first (corporate or Best Buy), I will be able to cancel my VZW preorder before it ships and just buy it in store
[Galaxy Note 3 General] deathshead:
I agree that the 4th seems much more plausable and I have posted proof in the audio recording of the call to vzw.

Now, the only thing is that we can only hope that the rep knows what she is talking about, which she did sound

informed as she stated she had her supervisor/manager put her order in the system,

I also didnt pry for information as to when the devices will ship, she offered the information off the cuff

"On the 4th when they ship"

So we shall see. If the info IS bogus then this just proves once again that verizon like many other companies needs to

have continuity in their CSR training and should really stop telling customers bogus info.

and as far as the unlimited data goes,

She said I could keep it.

Many other people were able to keep their unlimited data the past few days, what makes them so special

that other customers are disenfranchised into paying full retail?

I will ride out the unlimited data train and escalate until I'm able to keep it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] oneandroidnut:
it wont be the 4th or cards would most likely be charged by now and we still hasnt seen photos of vzw edition or unboxing etc etc
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tgamer:
would be nice to get it by the end of next week as I am leaving for Mexico for business. This will be my work device and my only way to communicate back to the USA while I am away. Come on VZ dont leave me stranded without international service!!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] SgtGoldy:
Its Verizon.... Best of luck is all i can say.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] toddnbrown:
no date yet

I just got off the phone with a rep myself, he was really cool, went on and on about how cool the new Note should be... I asked him if he had any low down for when the things will ship. He actually put me on hold for a couple minutes, said he would check if there was any new info on the ship date... Came back on and said that they still have no definitive ship date. He sounded like he knew what he was talking about.

I keep hearing that VZ will try and time the shipments so they are rec'd by the people who pre-ordered on the same day they are available in store, which is supposed to be the 10th.

But hopefully the person the OP talked to is right and my guy was wrong.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MikebikesNYC:
Unfortunately, your rep sounds like a better authority than the thread starter's, who (from the transcript) seemed to act like a typical middle-aged housewife. She sounded unsure of herself. Encountered wayyyy too many CSR's that talk out of their asses.

Not to be a pessimist :laugh:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Han Solo 1:
Agreed.

I'm not expecting anything til next Thursday earliest.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] deathshead:
I will use this to my advantage if things all of a sudden "change" as she told me I could keep my unlimited and said she checked with her superiors.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] deathshead:
And on top of that, She promised a call back @ 12noon to confirm the pre-order over to my main line as she said i could keep my unlim multiple times... My phones not ringing yet!, Perhaps I will start climbing that corp ladder and send them the entire call.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] WLPDroid:
As of right this moment, if I had to bet on one date, I would say ship on the 7th and delivery on the 9th.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] BritCrit:
I'm hearing things...

For a moment, I thought the recently released CNET video called out the 4th as the release date. After re-watching he says "in force in October" I think I might be getting a bit overly optimistic. When ever it is released, I'm looking forward to it.
