[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damiensturdy:
Hi all!

I ask because I've got the "classic" phone will not recharge problem on my i9505.

However, I've ordered two boards from different places, both of which function worse than the original.

Original board: Phone will not charge, or thinks it is charging but the cable isn't plugged in- but buttons work. Switching phone off, shorting the battery pins, then inserting the USB cable and battery gets it to charge, however it will not know when you have removed the cable. I am using this board as the phone remains somewhat usable.

New Boards: Phone constantly shows "charging". capacitive buttons do not work.

Are any of you a dab hand at these repair jobs? I'm not new to phone repair (have had to repair most of my phones at least once) but this one doesn't seem to want to play ball.

Any thoughts? Am I doing something stupid? is there a specific board I need for my i9505?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abadmi:
Good morning,

I updated my i9505 with Leaked MI8 and after whith the MI8 PRE-ROOTED. And I get the following when you go into download mode:

Would be covered by the samsung warranty my terminal?

What is the meaning of eMMC BURST MODE enabled?

Thanks to all, and sorry for the poor english.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LastStandingDroid:
Warranty isn't void by that I think. I got warranty with it enabled. Simply it states nothing if your warranty is void
[HTC One X] jirald:
Hello guys I just switched to HTC One X and currently on stock ROM. As for my taste I don't like to stay on that, I found difficult too to choose the best ROM available here, I'm confused actually. I'm new to HTC flashing stuffs and I want to prevent flashing then unhappy with it, because when that happens I have no idea yet to return to stock. So I just want a little tips from you guys based on daily used.

I would like:

-Good Battery Life

-Ultimate Gaming Performance that I can play Asphalt 8 (High) with no lag

Thank you guys and appreciate your suggestions...

I'm noob and this is the best I can do for now, ask :D
[HTC One X] xb2:
You cannot have both at same time: heavy gaming will drain battery significantly, and good battery comes with sacrifying certain performance.

- If you prefer gaming, try XM kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2136731

- Good battery life, try Alex V kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2226360

Also, make some tweaks (under/overclock) of cpu/gpu to best suits your needs, but do with caution as wrong settings can damage your phone.
[HTC One X] jirald:
Oh my...thank you so much. But after reading reviews about HOX heating up problems, maybe this time I prefer not to overclock.

Guess I'd go with Alex-V Kernel but what are the ROMs compatible with it? It didn't mention on the thread ;)
[HTC One X] xb2:
Alex V kernel is for any sense 5 rom. So far stock and viper is fully working.
[HTC One X] jirald:
there you go...thank you so much!!!

Just hope everything goes well
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c.p1c4rd:
My S3 remains in Logo Screen. So i tried in recovery mode the option "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partitions". After reboot, the phone still hangs on Logo screen. In recovery mode i see this errors:

e:failed to mount /system (invalid argument)

e:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)

so i tried to flash the phone with odin. I am from switzerland and took 1-part firmware AUT-I9300XXEMB1. The phone is recognized by ODIN. The drivers are also installed. Choose "Auto Reboot" and "F.Reset Time". But i get this:

I also tried with a 3-part firmware with a pit file and option "Re-Partition". Same Problem. Breaks after "Get PIT for mapping". The phone has never been rootet and the usb is not in debug-mode.

Can someone tell me what i am doing wrong? Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Reads to me as you have damaged the partition .

a pit file and option "Re-Partition">>> why on earth you did that as its the quickest way to brick

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c.p1c4rd:
So there is no possibility to fix? only service? i have no warranty.

i also tought that the problem is the partition, so i chose the option "Re-Partition" with a pit file (i read pit file is nessecary for Re-Partition).

i never tried to flash the phone. The Loop on Samsung Logo starts after a update made by phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Ask Samsung if it is covered under the 24 months warranty .

Do not mention that you have played about with PIT .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c.p1c4rd:
the errors in recover mode

e:failed to mount /system (invalid argument)

e:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)

have been shown before i played around with the pit.

Is it possible that the partition have been demaged during the update process made by the phone?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
As said in post

>>>

By the looks of it

If it was not already dead then you killed it .,
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c.p1c4rd:
i think odin never starts writting anything on the device.

when i go in downloading mode i see:

custom binary download : no

current binary: Samsung official

system status : official

so everthing is official.

it always stoped at

<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..

and didnt start writting.

i checked now warranty status and i have still warranty .....

its not my phone, and the owner told me there was no warranty.

So i loose 4 hours of my life trying to flash :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Its possible the previous owner voided warranty. Worth sending in though. Previous owner may just be wrong

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gotez:
In June I bought a Nexus 10 at Wallmart. I am greatly enjoying using this device. It is brilliant. However, I noticed last week that the left side of the screen has become a little yellowish. It is much lighter that the other side. This is especially disturbing whilst reading on a white background or using the keyboard, as the left side keys are lighter than the right side keys.

I there any possible way to fix this? Can I reset the screen? Any help would be welcome.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dibblebill:
I believe you've got a bad case of light bleed, You may want to look into a warranty replacement.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gotez:
Thanks for the response. I thought of that aswell, but testing it with the lightbleed app does not show any unusual bleed. It seems to be the screen itself.

Advice: Flash Phone to Stock ... it would be easyer ;)
[Android Software Development] mice:
Dear, I had rooted my Spice MI350n, partitioned SD Card to ext4, Took backup, all as per the instructions given by bala bro using Gscript app..

UncleMobile Tools was installed, through recovery mode, wiped of Dalvik cache and all data.

Then flashed from the Zip of LEWA Rom, downloaded from this thread.

The phone showed the COREDROID logo after the initial SPICE logo.

Then it would show a blank screen, after long hours of waiting, the home screen appeared.

But it showed the message Contacts program and Dialer program has crashed and needs to be force closed.

This repeated all the time and was not able to do anything else in the phone.

I tried flashing the ROM lot of times and flashed ad2sdx_mod by yuweng and reboot...

(flashed both zips in one go)

After rebooting moved the file 01ad2sdx_eXtreme.sh to script folder.

But still there is no chance to get the phone working.

Can you pls help me in the situation.

Pls advice how to get back the original ROM from the backup in the SDCard.

Or is there any other stable light ROM for Spice MI350n.

Can you pls also tell me, whether we can load Android 4.2 in this phone and is there a ROM for that.

Thanks and await for your reply.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kai_:
Just getting started with the Note 3 and coming from the S2, I didn't have this problem at all. Basically on most forum style websites (reddit, XDA, etc.) the text/font size is inconsistent down the page. This is with both the Chrome browser (updated to latest version and also tried beta) and the stock browser. Luckily the Note 3 screen is big enough but it's still ugly and annoying.

Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this?

Also, slightly related is it possible for the stock browser to sync bookmarks with a Google account? I swear this used to be possible with my S2 on that stock browser..

Thanks

Edit: Just found the solution for the stock browser at least.. Go to Settings > Screen and Text > Disable the Text booster option and that will fix it in the stock browser. :D

Now just to answer if it's possible in Chrome and about the bookmarks syncing in the stock browser :p

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rl421403:
If you update your phone with kies then your phone will only be updated. It will not revert your phone back to factory conditions.

If you are rooted and modded your phone then official Samsung updates will most probably not work in kies so people use more general software "Odin" to flash things on their phone. Kies does not let you flash un-official roms, kernel or recoveries on your phone. Or in general terms, kies does not let you flash anything on your phone that do not came from Samsung.

And that's where Odin helps. Odin let you flash anything you want on your phone, official Samsung stuff as well as un-official stuff. That's why you need to be very careful about how you use Odin because if you do not follow procedure correctly then you might brick your phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrovic.ad:
Yes thats a nice explanation of the diference so does this mean that The funktion in kies called UPDATE AND INITIALIZE does everything the same as odin only for official firmware

[Xperia Z General] kingvortex:
I'll ask a question.

If I already installed an incompatible busybox by other means (stericson's installer), will the recovery installer overwrite it with the included compatible busybox?

I don't feel like having to recover from possible problems (if any) arising from an incompatible busybox today, so just asking. :D
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
haha :)

The installer/flashable package will overwrite any incompatible busybox anyway at install/update, but the current version also keeps a safety copy somewhere else and will copy that to /system/xbin as soon as it finds an incompatible version.

[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
Maybe you should then insert the memory card in a pc, copy the contents and reformat it to then copy the contents back.

Sounds to me you might just have a faulty sdcard.

XZDR is designed to also use the cache partition if an sdcard is not found though, so it should be able to boot to recovery either way. You can try to insert the sdcard while in recovery to see if you can use it then.

[Xperia Z General] QSR1:
All partitions included in FTF can be flashed?

Thanks
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
The above link is for cyanogenmod, which implies an unlocked bootloader and recovery in the boot image or similar. THAT is the _only_ way you can safely asume formatting system is a viable option.

You can format/wipe with any recovery, they all have the option. Just DO NOT format system.
[Xperia Z General] QSR1:
Thanks for removing my confusion.

XZDualRecovery v2.8.23 is only available for locked bootloader. Is it possible that after the installation of XZDualRecovery on locked bootloader, we unlock the bootloader with flashtool-0.9.19.8 or is there any other way to work XZDualRecovery on unlocked bootloader

Thanks again.
[Xperia Z General] [NUT]:
For unlocked bootloader devices I have the kernel builder on my website. You can use that to build a kernel.

Between 2.8.21 and 23 there is no difference in the recoveries, just the boot-hijack code changed.
