So dropped phone and screen went out. Replaced amoled and digitizer, device powered on and lit up home keys, but no display still. Replaced main board, in case video was out on board, but no joy. Any thoughts? No custom software or anything....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ddochi11:
Maybe you didn't clip on the ribbon cables all the way. Or, just try pulling the battery and booting it again.

When I replace my screen, screen didn't work for first few boots.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] matthewipetersen:
I checked and checked, digitizer works, I can reboot and swipe unlock, adjust volume, but no screen. At this point I'm thinking bad LCD. Thoughts?

Thx for response and ideas though....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
I bought a replacement but ut was a cheap fake, not an OEM screen. It went purple then black within 10 minutes. I got my money back (thank you PayPal) and made sure the next one was an OEM screen.

Ok so I got the phone few months back and it already had ViperX Rom installed. I didn't know much about rooting so this is my first go at it .

I got the Airplane Mode stuck on turning off problem with unknown IMEI and saw that installing stock RUU help some people so I tried that.

Tried a few times to no avail and tried installing CM Rom too but got stuck on boot screen .

The HTC RUU exe gets stuck on sending. I can't do anything with my phone now so please help.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shenery:
Having a bit of bother getting my nexus up and running again. Pulled my phone out my pocket and it was turned off. Powered it on but it wouldn't get past Google screen. No twrp recovery. Nothing. So done the usual and get nexus toolkit out. Re locked and unlocked bootloader. Downloaded stock 4.2.2 flashed it but still stuck at Google screen. Can get in to fast boot but that's it.

Any help appreciated because I'm not sure what to do next

Try going into fastboot, and flashing stock with the official firmware from google (Type Nexus stock on Google). If you want to, you can even replace the recovery.img inside the zip for a custom recovery :)

[General Questions and Answers] the12nv:
Hello to all my XDA'ers,

I have a share some advice kind of question. Originally when the Note 3 was advertised it was rumored to be 6.3 to 6.5 inches and they settled with 5.7 (which is only .2 bigger than my Note 2). I know that the big a$$ phone looks goofy to most - but I would so rock a big ridiculous phone. As a result, my question to those that are very techy and in the know of phones - which phone do you think is (or will be) better? The only thing that I have seen against the HTC One Max is that it is not rocking the 800 Processor and is still using an older processor. Any and all information and advice is greatly appreciated!!!

Long Live Open Source!

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varunkumars:
Hi guys,

Status bar that carries time, wifi, 4g, alarm, battery etc it becomes 50% transparent with 3rd party wallpapers and is 100% transparent with LG stock wallpapers. Is it the "stat_sys_indi_bg" under LGSystemUI --->> drawable-xxhdpi ? I am assuming no. This status bar shows up for applications like web browser etc, correct ??

If so where is the location of this 50% transparent bar that pops up for the 3rd party wallpapers ? Just tell me the location please i will do the rest. If it is an .xml code under "LGSystemUI--->drawable" please tell me the file name. Thanks.

I'm loving my Galaxy Note 3, with the exception of the sound quality for bluetooth. The mid and lower frequencies are fine, but the high frequencies crackle, pop, and otherwise sound muddled. I've seen that this is a problem with other Android phones. Anyone encountered this? Anyone come up with a fix?

(Incidentally, my wife's GS4 does the same thing in both my car and her car.)

I have a Motorola H19TXT and it delivers great highs and lows when listening to music, call quality seems to differ.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LsRamAir:
Same here for regular a2dp.

I've noticed that if I lower the phones Bluetooth output volume down a notch or 2 from max, it clears up the highs a bit compared to max output.

Still, I had to upgrade my devices to AptX compatible receivers to get crystal clear sound.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BotsOne:
Might want to try installing Viper audio mod too, it gives you a lot of options for tuning sound quality.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bombstyle:
Upgrading to AptX sounds like a good option. I drive a 2012 Toyota Sequoia; but I doubt there is really any way to upgrade the firmware. I'd probably be stuck with an aftermarket solution.

Hi Bombstyle,

I have a simular issue with my Phillips M1BT's The odd thing is that the interference (pop, crackles) seem to happen more when I'm walking around Brighton. When I'm working at my desk there is little if no interference.

Some further basic tests suggests that the interference increases when the screen is off and the phone is in my pocket, Not sure if there is some form of power-saving issue I'm not aware of. Or if there is generally a lot of potential interference within a busy city

I tried with Call Audio disabled as str077 suggested as well as WiFi disabled.......... so far no golden solution.

str077 - Any further information from Samsung about a patch for your issue?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wowandroid:
Hi guys,

I'm looking for a e-reader to get my friend as she likes reading books. I know that I can ask this question on any other review(s) forum, but my question is based on choosing an e-reader that is cheap, un-lockable/customisable. I've read that Nook, Kobo and Kindle are the best, but I'm torn as to which one to go for.

Basically I need an e-reader that :-

1. Is designed for reading books and doesn't have the screen of a tablet and text can be read in dim or bright light.

2. Can be unlocked via whatever method, so that I can view the ebooks/pdfs I already have or can download

3. Is cheap, although a big screen would be great.

4. Has a good battery life.

5. Has good community support, so that it can be flashed with new roms and if possible, has a large choice of installing the many available apps on android

Thank you

Hi I would like to know if anybody is considering dumping the s4 for a nexus 5 I'm definitely considering getting that Nexus 5 the only thing that I feel bad is losing the SD card and my battery being removal on S4 but if it's going to be 3000 mAh then it would be ok cuz im sure ill get you through a full day
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanerixon:
Dumping the S4 and possibly my Verizon contract...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrashTestDroid:
I'll get rid of the S4 if Nexus 5 comes with sdcard, better screen and better battery life. Otherwise it'll end up as a bluetooth audio player in my car, same as the old Nexus 4. And it's gotta be way more resilient than the N4 to be daily driver.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mymusicathome:
Dumping mine as well. Tired of Samsung os updates taking forever on the Canadian devices after international updates are released. Also not a fan of knox with not giving the ability to return to complete stock for resale. Battery size isn't a big issue as the n5 will not have all the battery draining extras and I hear 4.4 will be better on battery life. No as card isn't a big deal for me either as I already have a usb otg cable.

Have to love Google's marketing strategies... don't say a word about the device and let the people create it's own hype/Buzz.

Should be able to flip the s4 for a n5 and have enough for a case... which I have already ordered :)

Dumping my ATT GS4 for the Nexus 5....solely due to the locked MF3 bootloader on the GS4....

I am for sure dumping mine. Reason? MF3 and lag
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lwfb:
I see this reason stated all the time and it's simply not true.

Read this article from Android Central from last year... It's got the real explanation. For those that won't read, it's because Google prefers to have one volume with an emulated SD card. Not because they want to force you onto their cloud storage.

http://m.androidcentral.com/why-nexus-devices-have-no-sd-card
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Datsun.510:
I read the site but I think that is BS.

"We got tired of seeing OEMs include many GB of internal storage for music, while users were still running out of space for apps and data. This approach lets us merge everything on one volume, which is way better.

-- Dan Morrill, Android engineer at Google"

That makes no sense to me. Are they talking phones like the Sensation 4G that had 4GB ROM space and SD Card. Well a very easy fix. Give us 16GB or 32GB and SD Card and problem solved. We have enough space for all the apps we want and we can have removable storage for unlimited space. I personally don't care that much on a phone like the Nexus 4 I had, but when I had the Nexus 7, I really wanted an SD Card. I think that was more of a lame answer than the true reason.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlopez1973:
Thats good to know that im not the only one considering dumping the s4 and I know that everybody has their own reasons I just like the nice clean stock android fill and look
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoldr:
I'm definitely getting rid of the S4 and getting the Nexus 5.

I got the S4 at launch, so the newly relocked MF3 (AT&T) bootloader isn't a problem for me, but the idea of it is. The fact that Samsung is releasing all these new phones with locked bootloader, maybe anti-root kernel, and now regional SIM restrictions I am very unhappy. The nexus 4 looked okay, but no LTE = no sale.

Sure, I will miss my SD card, but having a phone that can be bootloader unlocked in a second & knowing there will be lots of development for it (its a Nexus) makes me very excited to get it.

And I love my Nexus 7 2013, its a great device.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myorks1127:
Wow i'm glad to see people realizing how crappy phones with 3rd party OS covers like Touchwiz are. N4 stock is much more responsive and virtually lag free, unlike the newer S4

No ill keep my s4 but more than likely pick up a nexus as well.. as long as the release it in white!

Havent had a nexus device since 5 devices ago..im overdue.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lwfb:
I agree with you. I don't see any plausible reason to not include both 16/32 GB internal plus removable storage nowadays.

Nevertheless, I don't think it's a conspiracy to keep people on the cloud.

I also agree that on a tablet it's much more useful to have an SD card than on a phone, since tablets are media consumption devices by design.

I've made my peace with it though and have adapted, but I can appreciate other user's reasons for wanting removable storage.

Luckily we have choice with Android and multiple vendors produce excellent hardware to accommodate any user.

I am also dumping my note 2..though it is a good device but the newer samsung devices has so much restrictions like region lock,knox bootloader and exynos processors which nobody likes....looking forward for my first nexus device :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrashTestDroid:
locked bootloader? what a joke. But the main problem with S4 is bad stock firmware. My S4 would've been out the car window at freeway speeds if I had to deal with laggy, battery-gobbling TW bloatware.

I'm hoping the IPS on Nexus 5 is better than S4's amoled but it's unlikely. Try a S4 next to the G2 and see if you'll like LG's IPS. I found it less suitable for indoors (backlight bleed, low contrast) and you can't get the same range of saturation or color profiles like AMOLED. IIRC the contrast is a limitation of all backlit screen technology, same with limited color gamut & intensity. It's still a good tradeoff for unlocked bootloader, guaranteed best dev support, S800 w LTE.

Hi there,

my friend is coming from Korea soon, and I have a chance to get him to buy me an "UNLOCKED Samsung Galaxy S4 SHV-E330L" which is the Korean version with LTE-A and a better processor (snapdragon 800)

I have a few questions:

#1) Will this version work fine in Canada without problems? I understand we don't have LTE-A but it will just revert to 4G, right?

#2) I don't see a lot of support for that version. If I got it, will I still be able to customize it, flash the rom, and use files from this website?

what should I do? should I better off stick with a local version?

I just think the Korean version has a better processor, and I can get it for a good price + it comes with an extra battery...

advice!?!?!?!?!?!?

He means you should be asking in the Q&A section since you have a question.

If it has a radio compatible with whatever frequencies your carrier uses, then it should work service wise. Check the Wikipedia article about the S4 and compare. As far as ROM's, since it technically has different hardware I'd say there's pretty good doubt it would work with these ROM's and certainly no guarantee that root and recovery made for others will work on your model.

[HTC Droid DNA] J D A:
So I made the terrible mistake of wiping my data / system partitions and internal SD without putting a ROM on the phone. I was trying to revert the phone to a stock build via the RUU utility (I need to flash the phone to another carrier and I can't do that without the stock phone app) but it failed so now I'm just stuck with a phone with nothing to boot into. I tried to run the RUU again but it freezes my whole computer after clicking "Upgrade" (there's some serious disk activity going on but nothing happens, unlike the first time when it proceeded after that.

I can't mount the internal SD on my computer as Windows 7 won't recognize it (a new disk shows up but I can't go into it). I've tried to use ADB sideload in TWRP but my computer hangs when I issue the command and I have to hard reset it. Trying to flash the zip via fastboot also requires a hard reset.

I am moonshine S-Offed and I'm using the latest TWRP recovery. I am pretty sure I have all the drivers installed (HTC Sync is installed and I also updated them with the drivers from PDaNet). Help?! I just want to get it back up and running, I'm just going to flash a non-RUU stock rooted ROM.

If you have a recovery you can just use a USB OTG cable, a thumbdrive with your rom images on it and install a rom from external SD.

[HTC Droid DNA] twelfth:
You got lucky. The way it sounded in your original post was that even ADB was broken. By that point, if you have a working recovery, the only thing you CAN do is flash an image... and without an SDCard to pull out of the phone, you can only do it through USB OTG on the DNA.

So I'd still pick up a USB OTG cable in case you need it in the future.
[HTC Droid DNA] J D A:
I know. Way too lucky. ADB has always been a pain for me, even with my Rezound. I will definitely be buying an OTG cable or that OTG-like sd card plugin asap!
