stock rom w/custom tw kernel

I have a rooted AT&T galaxy s3, rooted with a custom kernel. I also have twrp and have been able to do a backup (nandroid backup) of the stock rom with stock kernel and stock rom with custom kernel. Sounds like you made sure the kernel specifically states TW, so not sure why you had this problem but I have used it...did you install custom recovery ?

I bought a brand new gs4 a month a ago in tmobile last night I put it on the charger this morning it was at 100% then 2 hours later it was at 100% then I restarted the phone and it was at 14% and the phone won't charge if I put the charger with the phone off it shows a battery icon with a circle and a red line in the middle.

infected to the bone T999.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
The error icon indicates that the USB port is probably okay since it is registering that it's plugged in.

The battery could be defective. Take it out and look at it closely. Does it show any signs of bulding at all?

If so then get a new battery. If not then I'd say take your new phone back to the store and get a new one. It's a brand new phone. Don't try to fix it. Get a replacement.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] razielpr:
I'm going to check with my friends battery if it works I will get a new battery if not I will take it back to tmo since it's brand new only has 3 weeks

My cord that came with the s4 crapped on me, maybe it's just the cord.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] razielpr:
I tried with another cord and did the same error my last hope is to try with my friends battery if it charges with it I will get a new battery if not then back to tmobile.

Yeah my money is on the battery...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] scooter247:
Is it heating up when you plug it in. My fiance had a problem with hers not charging but we noticed it was heating up on the right side above the battery. I took it apart and when I plugged it in there was a short in the ribbon cable with a consent spark. It was unrooted and taken back that day.

I saw on drippler that an s4 caught on fire. Our that there was battery issues with a bunch of devices. Id sure hate to have my S4 spontaneously combust during a phone call. Ha
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Destroyedbeauty:
I am looking after an new device for playing around with (ROM / Kernel flashing) and the Xperia T / V caught my attention pretty well. But.. Which one should I get? What is the differences except screen and the SoC?

:thumbup:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] St.Jimmy90:
Xperia T has the biggher Screen (4,55 inch) vs 4,3 on Xperia V. Xperia V is water resistant. idk which one is better. I got the T and I'm happy with it. Roms for both are more or less the same
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] immerblind:
if you prefer something "nice" in your hand, and you like it a bit more heavy. you know, the feeling when a real "machine" is sliding in your hand. then take the Xperia T. The screensize-hardwaresize relation is better on the Xperia T. The XV has more device around the screen^^

i have an example for you: The T is the rough, more heavy spade, you know. a thing a man like to hold in his hand, when he work in the garden. good size, good feel.

the V is more a cheap and less heavy spade from the supermarket. it maybe feels too light in the hand. you feel worry about it and its size. (my opinion):silly:

but before i forget, the V is waterproof. so if you like to chat with your gf or bf under shower, better take the Xperia V.

if iam right, the V has changeable battery, if you have a focus on that feature, then you will not be happy with the XT, it has no removable battery. i mean if you have a bit knowledge, then you also can change battery on XT, but not officially.

oh i have one more thing: the xperia T will have official OmniRom support. and we have a supernice Miui v5, based on stock sony rom, with great batterylife.:angel:

dont get me wrong, the Xperia V isnt a bad phone, for me it just cannot compare with the Xperia T.

short answer, hold them, squeeze them, decide then, buy then.

if you liek to flash custom roms, then have an eye on the bootloader unlock allowed: yes or no!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Destroyedbeauty:
This kind of reply does help a lot. Thank you!

Well, I see that the Xperia T got it into Sweden, even though it was said to be the international model and the Xperia V the Scandinavia / Nordic countries focused one..

1) Which one gives better battery life?

2) Which is best custom ROM / kernel supported?

3) Which one offers the best camera performance?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] St.Jimmy90:
Xperia T has 13 mega pixels and the pictures are pretty good (at least at good light), also I think that T has a little better rom support, but theres no big difference as they're pretty similar. Can't tell about battery life though
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Destroyedbeauty:
Will see which one I am laying my hands on..
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
I want to add two points:

1. The removable battery is useful, when I mod my phone and it would hang. With no removable battery I'd need to wait until the battery is completely depleted. Or unscrew the phone. The phone hung already a number of times. Waiting for an empty battery can be up to 50 h.

2. I think the property to withstand water should not be underestimated. No needing to worry about the weather protection, for example when I go out for cycling, on the motorbike. Or taking pictures of my kid when at the pool I don't need to worry dropping into the water. Immersing it into the pool water and watching the screen on is a bit eery first. I personally do not think the USB flap will hold up that test very long, but I do think it still withstand splashes and rain well, even with a "worn" flap.

As the others above said, both are pretty similar, and I personally don't really see the point for Sony having two products in their range which differ so little. It seems not useful to decide on basis of technical specifications. I would entirely decide on basis of your personal preferences in terms of battery flexibility, screen size and water resistance.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] immerblind:
ehm, no...thats not true. if you end in freeze or whatever, you can power+volume up some seconds, hard reset.

short: you not need to wait till battery empty, use key-combination...this cannot be a pro argument for XV :angel:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
I stand corrected. I did not know this also works on freeze.

Hard reset "boots" you up were to? To a CWM which is hopefully there?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] immerblind:
no automatic boot in recovery.

honestly im not sure how it works exactly, because my last freezes/bootloops are some time agoooooo

look, i found the thread for 2012 modells

{RECOVER SOFT-brick}[2012 XPERIA's]Recover ALL 2012 XPERIAs from SOFT-brick

but to come back ontopic:

i would say the XT has more to offer regarding custom roms. at least the XT has the better running custom roms.

we can look forward the newly omnirom, the T will be officially supported

then we have the awesome MIUI v5

we have different themed and tweaked stock based sony roms, a honami rom, and we have AOKP

there are also some Cyaniogenmods, ChameleonOS, PAC (support for that stopped if iam right)

good roms for locked and unlocked bootloaders.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] unicastbg:
Last time I've checked the T does not have an LTE support. If the gsmarena specifications are correct (http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4958&idPhone2=4899), the T screen supports only 4 finger multitouch and the V - 10. Although I don't know what you'll be doing with 10 fingers on a 4.3" screen :D. And yes, the battery is removable on the V model.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
The rear cover has a rubber around the battery area for water resistance. It's quite clever.

What I trust lesser are the flaps for the two ports. The one for USB is used on daily basis. A free dock should be supplied with the phone (which actually applies to all this phones with contemporary abysmal battery life, IMO).
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] unicastbg:
That's the reason I got the dock from the shop :)

Apart from that, after 6 months of use those flaps are still waterproof. It's very enjoyable to watch your colleagues' faces while washing the phone :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
I checked. I learned hard reset is when booting up the phone, not when UI is frozen. Therefore: No phone without removable battery for me.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] immerblind:
AGAIN. if the UI is freezing OR if you fazing bootloop, you can shutdown the phone with power button+volum up. its a FACT.

No need to wait till battery empty. i not understand how you can think you have to wait till battery is empty. NOT true. :eek:

you seem to misread

And as a XT user i can confirm this, i never ever waited till my battery is empty.:rolleyes:

The removable battery argument isnt that necessary, like many people in the internet make it. but whatever, personal taste and so on ...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
I understand it works on a working phone and on a bootlooping phone. But it did not work on my frozen V. Otherwise I would not have needed to take the battery out. But I understand it works on your frozen T. So the case is cleared. :good:

[Nokia Lumia 920] smcb:
Hi,

I've got two developer 920s, one that I got from the build conference last year (and has no issues), and another that was sent to me directly from the nokia developer group in Finland. The one from finland came with an odd ROM installed (059N6W4) and because of that cannot install the amber update over the air. It is currently 1232.2107.1242.0001.

Nokia support wanted me to send it off to some company in Alabama (who's website doesn't even work right) to have it flashed, but I figure I should be able to do it just as easily.

But I can't get the nokia care suite to flash it with the proper firmware (059R2L5). It complains that the "FFU file is not meant for this product." when I try to flash it. Its odd because under Basic Info, it detects the product code as 059R2L5, but under Extended Info it says the basic product code is 059N6W4. Nokia care suite wants to upgrade it to 3047.0000.1326.2001, but just won't do it.

any suggestions on how to get this thing updated properly?
[Nokia Lumia 920] boril:
use refurbish option instead of upgrade and I think you need to flash pre-portico rogers rom in order to perform switch to 059R2L5
[Nokia Lumia 920] smcb:
Thanks for the tip! :D

I flashed on the ancient rogers firmware, then did all the over the air updates, then was able to successfully flash the amber developer rom.

All is good.
[Nokia Lumia 920] marekt77:
I had same problem

Hi,

I have the exact same problem, how do I get a hold of the pre-portico rogers rom?

Thanks,

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RomminNudels:
Okay so after I was getting off work last night, I went to pull my keys out of my hoodie and my lanyard evidently caught the corner of my phone and it belly flopped straight onto the front screen. I've never broken a phone before so this is a pretty traumatic experience for me. But anyway I want to take it back to T-Mobile and get it replaced (it's insured) but it was rooted and ROM'd. Using the Nexus 4 Toolkit I was able to flash stock and unroot, but now I'm stuck on the setup screen with no way to get to the settings to re-enable ADB to do the OEM relock. The digitizer is completely screwed, It kinda worked for like 15 mins and then it started freaking out like someone was touching everywhere on the screen at the same time, after that finally stopped it became totally useless. The lcd is completely fine so I can still see my screen but it's essentially useless. If anyone could tell me if there's a way to remotely activate ADB or possibly some super easy way of relocking it that uses only buttons or something, that'd be awesome.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandy-achar:
Just go to bootloader ( volume up + volume down + power)

Then type, " fastboot oem lock", without the quotes. Good luck
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RomminNudels:
I'm assuming you're meaning in cmd, so I tried that and I cant get my phone to show up as a fastboot device. And of course the list for adb devices is blank :/
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Install drivers.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RomminNudels:
Okay so I installed the drivers and I still am having no luck. I don't know if you would know but since it's going to be replaced through Asurion insurance and not T-Mobile's warranty service, does it really matter if it's just unlocked? No root or rom, just unlocked. I'm thinking since it's obviously not a software issue then they won't care if it's unlocked.

*** Scratch that, my adb folder got messed up or something and it didn't have fastboot in it. A thousand times thank you! The universal drivers totally worked and everything went great once I realized that I overlooked something so simple. Now I won't have to worry about T-Mobile giving me any problems!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idbx:
I have been using Android Revolution HD 21.0. My call quality is good but every minute or so it garbles and it is impossible to hear what is being said.

In my research I have found that this problem can be fixed by flashing a radio.

My current build number is "3.17.401.2 CL245412 release-keys"

My current radio is "4A.17.3250.14_10.39.1150.04L"

My phone is S-ON

I am on the UK H3G network.

My questions are:

Which radio should I try flashing?

Is it safe to flash any radio?

Has anyone encountered this issue before?

What else should I try?

Thanks!

Awesome slim case for a mere $4 bucks at Amazon! :good:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EXEEB9K/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I just got mine and it's really nice! :cool:

It has a small lip all the way round the front so you can put the phone face down yet it's not intrusive, it does not feel bulky (as the Window Case does when flipped back), it has a great grip on the sides but goes in/out my jeans pockets, not hard to pull out even though it's not slippery (but not rubbery like silicon).

Plus I got a free screen protector and stylus which can be plugged into the headphone jack!

Not bad at all!!!

Cheers!

Fit is good, plus its a snitch to fit and you cant go wrong with what bits go where really.

If you do make a mistake, so long as you don't seal the edges you can lift and reposition.
