[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdudl:
Alright, so I got a new xperia play off of eBay about 3 weeks ago. Everything worked fine until about a week ago. Whenever I plug it in it restarts, and the touchscreen is unresponsive. Everything else works fine, including the gamepad. I tried flashing the stock .ftf, which didn't help. I was rooted, and my bootloader is unlocked. I would really like help in fixing the touchscreen.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdudl:
I think the digitizer cable or something might have come loose.. I had a case which was slightly bigger than the phone, and when I took it off, it felt like I was tearing the phone apart. I think that is what caused it, because the problems started coming after I took off the case.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if_ckedup:
Hi, I f_cked up.

Firstly, I've spent a few hours looking around the internet (including this forum) for answers but I can't find any so sorry if this has been answered (but I doubt it, I f_cked up pretty well).

My biggest issue at the moment is that, whenever I try and start my phone I get the error: "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" and I'm stuck in a constant cycle of restarts, unless I take my battery out. There is also other problems, but I'll tell you how I kept screwing up my phone.

So, I got my new phone, rooted it, all good. I deleted a bunch of system files I didn't need (not com.android.phone). I then decided I wanted the LWP Picker and a few other stupid little things back just to mess around with them, but for some reason the backups in RootUninstaller weren't working so I went looking for the APK's instead, none of which installed correctly.

Since my phone was pretty new and didn't have much data or apps on it anyway, I decided I'll reset it, without making a backup of course. Only problem is, once it deleted all my apps, it also deleted my Google Keyboard (der) which is no problem, except I f_cking deleted the Samsung Keyboard with RootUninstaller, so, errr, I couldn't do anything - including connecting to wifi or logging into my google account - oops.

So what do I do? I'll flash the ROM. I basically followed the instructions on a "theunlockr" website /2013/09/17/how-to-flash-a-custom-recovery-image-on-the-samsung-galaxy-s4-active/ - it's a .com and couldn't post direct links 'cause I'm new. No, I didn't do a custom.

So, basically, yes, I'm screwed. Can anyone help? Very urgent problem.

PS: Sorry if this thread seems rushed... it is.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if_ckedup:
Since I haven't really gotten a reply, I think I might have a unique problem. Does anybody at least have a nandroid backup or some other way to return the active to it's original form? Thanks again !

Have you tried Odin?

[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if_ckedup:
I'm a bit of a noob at this (hence the problem). I used Odin to root the device and also to put CWM on it, but I don't know if I can use Odin in any other way? I also used tried to follow this thread /showthread.php?t=2395242 but the ROM wont transfer to my SD Card for some reason so I can't flash it using CWM. Any other suggestions? Trying to find another Micro SD Card I can use, but is there anything else i could do?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if_ckedup:
FIXED!!!

So basically, my phone is now in a working state again! I follow the CyanogenMod 10.2 (the thread I put above) after buying a new SD Card and it's working great so far! While I didn't really get much help in this thread, it was this forum that saved my arse so thanks! Hopefully I'll hang around a bit more :)

My memory card gets corrupted. Help would be appreciated. Screenshots attached below.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: external sdcard

Remove the sdcard from your phone and with an adaptor plug it into your computer.

Then download this free FAT32 formatter utility from: http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/FAT32format-Download-79375.html

and format your sdcard.

After formatting the sdcard put it back in your phone and it should work just fine.

Good luck!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: fat32 format

If it errors out when you try formatting it using your computer that means the sdcard is

defective, hope you still have time to return and exchange it for one which works.

At least you now know that the problem has nothing to do with the phone.

Good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Yippee38:
I tried searching, but it appears to be broken most of the day today. I did try searching page by page, but didn't get any results.

My brand-new S4 is softbricked apparently. From stock, two night ago, I rooted the phone based on this guide.

I then installed GooManager and installed the TWRP 2.3.6.1 recovery manager. All seemed fine. I was going to install a custom ROM, but decided to back up the phone first. So I booted to recovery and made a backup. I rebooted and all was fine. Then I rebooted to recovery to wipe the phone. I went into the wipe menu and selected Delvik Cache, and a couple more options but I can't remember which. I know I did have USB-OTS (or whatever it is) and that didn't work, so I undid that. I did not have SD Card selected.

The backup appeared to work fine. I rebooted and the phone gets to the "Samsung" screen with the small lock that says, "Custom" under it. That's as far as it gets.

I found this thread to restore the stock. However, when I tried to connect the phone in Odin mode, it will not recognize the phone. The PC recognizes the phone (it makes the noise) and Kies sees the phone, but won't do anything with it. It detects that a phone is connected and tries to identify the device, but can't.

The PC detects my wife's S4 just fine. I'm using the same cable.

BTW, if I try to boot to recovery mode, I get the Samsung lock screen (the same one it hangs up on), then a black screen for a few seconds. Then it goes back to the Samsung lock screen and just sits there. Oh. BTW, the phone does appear to go into download mode just fine. Hitting the Vol Dn button to cancel, does reboot the phone.

So I'm looking for help trying to get Odin to detect the phone. Any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Yippee38:
BTW, the phone will enter download mode just fine and the Vol Dn button does work to reboot the phone (though it still locks up during the boot sequence).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Misterjunky:
re: kies

Try opening taskmanager in windows ( run >taskmgr ) and before you plug the phone into

usb on your computer end the KIES process in task manager, Kies should not be running

when you plug the usb from phone to computer.

What I have done a long time ago is to uninstall KIES as well as all the samsung usb drivers,

then I downloaded and installed the official Samsung usb drivers from here: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...ng_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.14.0.exe

after doing that I have never had any more issues with Odin flashing.

Good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Yippee38:
Kies is not running in the background. I couldn't get either phone to be recognized by Win7 originally. However, once I uninstalled the driver and Kies, rebooted and re-installed both, I could get Kies and Windows to see the phones. BTW, Linux always sees both phones.

So I'll try your suggestion, and let you know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Yippee38:
I followed your suggestions. I uninstalled the drivers and Kies. Reboot and install drivers. I connected my phone and Odin didn't see it. I connected my wife's phone and windows did the "new hardware found" thing and installed the drivers. As soon as that was done, Odin recognized her phone. I unplugged her phone and plugged mine in and it doesn't see it.

It's almost like the phone doesn't get far enough into the boot process for the computer to recognize anything. It hasn't booted far enough, or something like that.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Br4nd3n:
And you are sure it didn't self update on it's own to mf3? Your Odin and drivers seem right, however kies/Odin don't support mf3.

---------- Post added at 10:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------

If you're still on MDL and can get into recovery, Mount to usb and throw a ROM onto your internal; or use a sdcard and put it in your phone and flash a new system. Possibility your nandroid is broken, it can happen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Yippee38:
I don't think so. Every time the update message came up, I just hit the home screen button to go away from it. I don't see how it could have.

I was under the impression that it wouldn't update if the phone was rooted, but maybe I'm wrong about that.

I guess, if it did update, I'm completely screwed, right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Yippee38:
And is there anyway I can find out if it did update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Venom0642:
Only way it won't update to MF3 If you already had a custom rom on it , but if you rooted it while on MDL and didn't flash a custom rom then update will go in automatically!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Yippee38:
Damnit. That sucks.

I guess I'll try the BB restore method. Hopefully, it will work. Thanks for the help all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Yippee38:
Well, good news and bad news.

The good news is that I've got the phone back to stock MDL!!!! <whew!> The bad news is that I'm an idiot.

Where I screwed up was that when I connected the phone, I had only done the VolDn, Home and Power button into download mode. What I didn't do was hit the VolUp from that screen to actually get into download mode. As soon as I did that, Odin recognized it. I was then able to use this method to reflash it with stock MDL. Now I'm back to stock and with MDL.

Hopefully, this if somebody else forgets this important step, this thread will help them.

Thanks to everybody for the help though! It got my mind thinking the right way to find the solution.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Br4nd3n:
You can only stop the update temporarily, in fact just pressing the home screen doesn't stop the process and it'll eventually force update even with the screen off at idle. Just a root won't stop the updating, unless you froze the necessary processes or flashed a different ROM and framework it'll find a way to update.

---------- Post added at 12:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 AM ----------

Good job at getting it back and up! Note make sure it won't update on you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Yippee38:
I'm very worried about that now. I rooted my wife's phone. She doesn't want a custom ROM. I told her not to update it, but once it does, I have problems. I have to figure out which processes to freeze to prevent the update apparently before it tries to do it itself. At least she knows not to manually update it.

Anybody wanna help a brotha out? At 6'2" my hand and wrist are too big by about 2 links. As it stands I can BARELY fit my hand through and the watch is snug on my wrist.

Thanks!
[Sony Smartwatch] Tonio78370:
Unless you find additional links, I'm afraid you'll have to buy another band that will fit you wrist.

I expected this problem when I put on the watch the first time. I have rather large wrists too but still have to shorten bands by 2 links. This band was exactly my size so I imagined others might run in to the problem you have.

Good luck

There were 4 people who mentioned that they removed links from their watch. When I posted asking for spare links no one seemed to be willing to give them up, even for a price. Just go buy a metal band instead of wasting your time here waiting for a response.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnnyRebel:
I currently have a rooted SM-N900W8 telus with Knox 0x0. I want to unroot it and go back to stock firmware for testing purposes. I downloaded my stock firmware from sammobile. Everyone states to just flash stock back onto phone with Odin. I'm worried that 1 or several of my root apps will stop my phone from booting properly (eg. Wannum exposed) back into stock. Am I best to uninstall my root apps before going back to stock? (I'm under the impression that flashing stock will not wipe my phone). Side note - I currently have all knox apps frozen, OTA off and all my data is backed up.

My plan was to:

adb into download.

Load/flash stock firmware via Odin

Fully boot into android.

And then factory reset from within android.

Or am I best to factory reset before loading into android for the 1st time after stock flash? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm upgrading my XDA IIi German ROM to English ROM from Pug with radio version 1.04.00. Right now, the clock at the top right doesn't come up. Do anyone have the same problem like this?

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Koksie:
The same (clock disappearing ) happened back in the days on my Magician, to solve it do the following: get yourself a registry editor (e.g. phm regedit, freeware on www.phm.lu) and go to the following key:

hklm\software\microsoft\shell

- add dword called "TBOpt" and give it value 3.. soft reset.

0 = no time or date

1 = time

2 = date

3 = both
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] dslongstaff:

Hello,

it works on my Wizzard (xda mini s) but the date is in bold therefore the last digit is not completely visible. Any idea how I could change the date to normal text style?

Thanks,

Klaus
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] christopherwoods:
This is all done inside HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\ - use PHM Registry Editor (freeware) or another reg editor to do all of this (Tweak2k2 will also do it, apparently). Remember: registry editing can mess up your phone if you do it wrong!

You may already have an entry called TBOpt, and it might just read "0" or "1" - delete it, and start over. The TBOpt entry should be set up as a BINARY string. I did this, and chose a number - 13 - and set the value to

13 00 00 00

This resulted in both the time and the date being visible. This was a start, but I needed more...

I changed the value to 01 00 00 00, rebooted, and bingo: only the clock appears.

02 00 00 00 shows only the date.

03 00 00 00 shows both, like 13 00 00 00, except where with 13 the time and date were centre-aligned, the time and date are now left-aligned.

04: nothing.

05: shows the time, in what looks to be a left-aligned manner, in bold.

06: shows the date, dd/mm/yy format.

07: date and time, regular font weight (i.e. not bold), date in dd/mm/yy and time in 24hr.

08: nothing.

...

I got bored by this point, as every new choice requires a soft reboot and a 30 second wait while the device powers up. If I had a genuine copy of Windows, I'd download the emulator and just try it with that from the MS web site, but... well... The last time "I" owned a legit copy of Windows, I was about 7, and my Dad bought me a computer.

Some options seem to do more than most, I'd hazard a guess and say that some of the 'options' tally with the various ways you can choose to have long and short times and dates shown by the system in the Regional Settings control panel applet. I love being able to switch between analogue and digital time display! (tap and hold on the time, it'll only work if you only have the time shown, otherwise it'll show just the day part of today's date).

Going back to the legal-copies-of-Windows-thing finally, I suppose technically I own two legal licenses for two unique copies of Windows Mobile 2003 SE, but that's another story (XDA number 1 locking up on boot, that was a clever error).

Hope this post helped.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] haider:
For some reason my clock has changed to an analog clock. Its really ccrap cos you cant tell the time! how do i switch it back to digital again?

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] haider:
Thanks, just worked it out... :oops:
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] christopherwoods:
And for those who don't know, you tap and hold with the stylus on the clock to bring up the Analogue / Digital choice menu.

:)

Also, might as well just note for the record that the reason the clock disappears on the XDA 2i is because of one of the customisation CABs O2 have put in their Extended ROM. If you do a Corporate Install (with the 0506 code, as I did the second time round) it doesn't install any of the O2 interface, nor does it install any of the customisation CABs - so bingo, you have a (pretty much) standard WM2003SE installation.

I used the O2 Contract GPRS and GSM settings CAB file from this forum (supplied by Pug) to just make sure that my SMS and GPRS settings were correct, but aside from that my installation was vanilla, thanks to the Corporate install. Also meant I had a clock on the top, which was a revelation for me then.

Just stating this because when I was first searching for the solution to this problem, I couldn't find any information as to why it was happening, or how to fix it... Just chanced upon it whilst doing my own Corp install :D so now it's set in stone for future newbies to read.
