[Moto X Q&A] superaj13:
Let me start off with some background. I am new to Motorola but not new to Android. I rooted the X with pwnmymoto and installed safestrap. Everything was working fine until it just suddenly stopped. On the top of my screen it showed the sd card with a red line through it. I called Verizon and they sent me a new sd card. When I put it in last night it still did not work. I tried to get back to stock with all tutorials available but my computed would not recognize the device. Finally is safestrap I found an option to factory reset but instead of just factiory resetting I formatted everything including the operating system. Now the only thing I can boot into is a blank screen or safestrap. Since i can boot into safestrap is there a way I can get out of this mess? I dont want to return it to VZW the way it is plus they will notice that I have safestrap installed.

Please Help!!!!!
[Moto X Q&A] jayboyyyy:
if you are ok with returning your phone to stock then we can solve your problems pretty easy. send me a pm and I can help you out. Its not a big deal you didn't mess anything up. You didn't describe anything that would have caused the issue you are describing but I am curious as to where you put an sd card into a moto x? This may be a stupid thing to say but I thought we didn't have sd card storage... I'm almost positive we don't. But anyway, I can still get you back to stock no problem.
[Moto X Q&A] superaj13:
I meant sim card. I will pm you because I really am at a loss here.

[HTC Tornado] GeeZuZz:
Are there no sim-unlock software for Tornado?
[HTC Tornado] saldous:
Tornado (Qtek 8310 / i-Mate SP5) is not SIM locked in the first place so no need to unlock it.

The Orange version may be, but it isn't released yet.

You can unlock the software so you can install non-signed applications.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 71CH:
I ran my battery all the way down last night. Left the phone on the wall charger overnight and it is not responsive. Tried to turn it on using all combinations of powers button and volume buttons. When the phone is connected to a pc it doesn't recognize it. But when I try to power the phone on while connected, the pc makes the sounds indicating something is connected.

Any ideas? Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dottat:
Leave is connected to a powered PC port for a couple hours. Not sure why but I've had luck bringing devices back from beneath the cutoff voltage level using low amperage charging. Heck my best recovery charging port has been the USB port on my cable box.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dspcap:
Make sure you are using the original power adapter.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 71CH:
Thanks for the replies. I am using the OEM cable. I've tried putting it on power using the wall charger. I've also tried using a PC. I've tried the bright light trick. I've tried pressing both volume buttons, one volume button, the other volume button. I've tried power button by itself. I think I've pretty much bricked my phone. I'm willing to listen to other suggestions :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dbornack:
Must be that time of the month.. this happened to me last night.

Left the house around 90%, phone was getting pretty hot.. So I rebooted, twice.. still hot.. so I turned it off for 15 minutes. It was still pretty warm after that, but I decided to turn it on again. When it came up, I was at 18%!. So I sent a couple of texts, and just turned it off thinking I would be able to turn it on later. No such luck. OEM charger does nothing, I plugged into laptop for 20 minutes, nothing.. So I left it on the charger overnight. I still have nothing this morning. Going to leave it on a PC USB port for awhile and see what happens..

Is there an official process for getting your phone back up??

I'm rooted, unlocked, s-off.. so I'm worried if I go to Verizon (it's only been 50 days), they'll discover that if they get my phone back up.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dobo84:
Left mine on the charger over night and held the power down as I took it off the charger seemed to do the trick.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snoepws:
Hi Guys

Do you know what is the best ROM to improve colors, gamma and general image quality. At the moment I have Slim Rom JB 4.3 and I'm not fully satisfied. The previous versions had that option. The new one does not. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EffectsC:
i don't think s2 have 4.3 rom
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snoepws:
there is a couple actualy coz i flashed some already but none of them had the options also none of them had BLN. I don't really care about 4.3 it can be 4.2 or 4.1 as long as it has the funcions
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snoepws:
it would be good if it had BLN :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingOfDope:
Dorimanx kernel has BLN and gramma fix and sharpness fix ;D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] machokingjim:
i would personally recommend dorimanx mate:D

Flash the latest one and You will love it

Has all the gamma settings and bln too
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snoepws:
Thanks guys. I tried Dorimanx and it's really cool but you can only adjust blue and red and gamma only brightens the screen. Both light colors and black. What I'm trying to achieve is to have more vivid colors good contrast deep blacks and shiny whites... and dorimanx can't realy do that. It does have BLN which is good :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] nunyabiz:
HI have auto brightness turned off, but when scrolling web pages I notice the brightness changing. Its seems to get darker if images are displayed and brighter when I scroll past them. I dont notice this in any other application, but I suspect its the mostly white background of web pages. Do I have a defective unit or is this normal?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Geordie Affy:
I had this problem on my S3, I'm assuming your using the stock browser if so then press "Menu" and click Brightness and then uncheck auto brightness - hopefully that helps.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] nunyabiz:
I have auto brightness off in the settings menu, but don't see it in the browser menu.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] madsquabbles:
go to device - display and change the screen mode. I believe auto will use dynamic lighting. I've got it on movie.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] nunyabiz:
I have it set on standard.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] nunyabiz:
Went to best buy and looked at the display and I noticed the same brightness fluctuation. A best buy employee though he might have seen it, and the Samsung rep says she doesn't see it. So I guess I have sensitive eyes and that's just a feature of this tablet. I hope I can learn to live with it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Geordie Affy:
AH...I think I have the answer.

While on homescreen press "menu" then "settings" then "Display" then Uncheck "Auto Adjust Screen Tone"

I must have done this on my S3 and forgot :silly: either way hopefully this fixes it for you.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] nunyabiz:
Thanks for trying, but I have searched all the menus and there is not anything like that.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Geordie Affy:
The reason I believed it was "Auto Adjust Screen Tone" is because its description is exactly what you describe. Its description is "Save power by adjusting screen tone according to analysis of images". I was assuming it will be in the same place as my S3 which might not be the case.

It should have been in the general phone display settings mmmmm i hope there is a solution as it would annoy me too when i do purchase the 10.1.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] madsquabbles:
it could be possible that the autobrightness jumps too much. do you have it turned on? i use velis and lux (seeing which i like better) to control autobrightness. i don't have the dynamic screen effect on mine and i hate any tablet or phone that does, so i do notice it when a device has it. where others are saying the tablet is too dim, i think it's too bright and never go above 35% and mostly under 20%.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] nunyabiz:
stated in the op, auto brightness is off.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] nunyabiz:
I have that set to standard.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] madsquabbles:
well since i have my screen set low it doesn't have the option to fluctuate - can't go below zero without an overlay. so as a test i turned up the brightness and check out some white backgrounds and then quickly introduce a dark object and it's definitely there. it's very subtle (i only went to 40% to test) but it's there. this is a feature that should NOT be in a device made people who like to draw. fluctuating screen brightness can totally screw things up for a very particular artist.

i hate that you brought this up b/c now i'm gonna start using it at a brighter setting just so i can see the effect more often, lol.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] nunyabiz:
Lol, sorry! I see it really bad at about every brightness. The samsung Rep didnt see it at all, or so she says, so I guess some people are more sensative than others.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] AndroidOutput:
I have this problem as well

Sorry for digging up an old post.

I recently bought galaxy note 10.1 2014 and I also noticed this behavior when I was viewing pdf files in class today while taking notes.

The screen brightness dimmed very slightly when an imaged shows up in a pdf file.

I thought this happened only in pdf files in Adobe Reader so I tried polaris pdf viewer - same issue, then I tried opening a word document and scrolled through - same issue again. I tried different settings under display and it did not have any effect on it.

So I'm assuming its a software issue and hopefully with an update it should get better I guess.

Anyone else having this issue?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] AndroidOutput:
issue

No one else having this issue? I believe this happen in every note out there, just want to confirm this with other people here. It's easy to reproduce, just open a pdf file with a colored image on one page and text on other page and scroll through pages, you should notice a slight dimming of screen.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Geordie Affy:
Tbh I have noticed it, I first noticed it on the BBCNews website whenever an image pops up after some text. The screen does dim very slightly, it must be something with the fact that the image is darker so the display will naturally dim a little since theres less white when it displays small text on a white background. Thats my guess but honestly no idea. Also its not something I find too annoying.

I noticed the same on a P600 32GB

Mainly in browsers and PDF - as said by others - reading from a text to picture or the revert, even with autobrigthness off and Image Mode set to standard or movie, 'adapt display' option ticked off...I still notice a slight adjustment in brigthness.

too bad that samsung integrated this "autothing" somewhere deeper in the layers (firmware,soft, kernel, hardware,?). It loses some value when you use it as an image monitor (video, photography).

My two cents Samsung!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
I use the stock tether under my unlimited plan. Would only use it seldom though for my tablet or notebook.

Unlimited plan allows up to 2.5gb tethering a month which for that purpose is more than enough for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JUSMEJOSE:
I have tethered almost 60gb with xbox etc... With no problem ... I do get a message about data usage ... lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaungregg:
If your just getting that message on your phone that is just a setting for your own info, if you get an upsell screen on a tethered pc or your tethering stops working, then you will know they know lol.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Rican:
well well, dummy me was about to do "de la vega" and just ended up following "qbking77" video to the T and tripped knox. Anyway, since that ship has sailed and there's nothing that could be done about it for now, what exactly does the tether app needs in order to work? I've been using TrevE Mod WiFi Tether for the longest on my GS3 stock rom/rooted. What's the difference with the Note 3?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Earthbrain:
So does installing this app work perfectly on a t-mobile note 3 on an AT&T network without AT&T catching you tethering without paying?

SO FOR THOSE OF US THAT DO NEED MORE THAN THE 2.5GIGS WE GET MONTHLY...

I have not found a means to bypass the offer page. I do not want to use faux or saber as my kernel. Has anyone had luck with this app or with any other kernel? Or is this a dud?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] duvalbmarley:
If u don't want to use faux or saber find alternative no this is not a dud as I am using it because all other methods fail or pay for WIFI tether router by fabio heard it works well
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ilogik:
I can verify that WiFi router by Fabio works, the only important thing to change is or it won't work:

Need to change your APN, simply navigate to Settings > More > Mobile networks > Access Point Names. Select your T-Mobile APN, and scroll to APN protocol. Change this to IPv4, and then save your APN.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] J.E.T.S:
I was using Fiddler to mask WiFi usage on my PC. T-Mobile recently changed the network to check the header, so that doesn't work anymore.

Where can I get WiFi tether by Fabio?

And what's this about changing the kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] duvalbmarley:
Play store and only a few kernels work with the wifi tether apk
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] inflewence:
Not sure if anything is different with my phone but I made the new APN and use foxfi. It works perfectly. Once I tested it I paid $8 for foxfi, just because I didn't feel like fooling with starting it and re starting it with the free version. I just start foxfi and when it says verifying account I hit the home button.(Not sure if I need to do that but never tried it without doing that)

I'm using my own custom rom, I don't always use tethering like before, but yes I bought WiFi tether router from the play store from Fabio, I believe the name is. And tried t-mobile stopped it but last night I download a movie to test it out, I used it on my Note 3, and I didn't count towards the tethering, but u need the unlimited plan, it will not work on regular plans. YOU NEED UNLIMITED, I had 3gb grandfathered in plan, but they upgraded us to 5gb a few months back.

So u need a custom rom that says it fixed for tethering, and you also need a unlimited plan.

And dont download it from anywhere on the net like I did before cause it won't work, I purchased it for $2.50 I think.

It still works.

2. Plug your device to your PC with USB debugging enabled, make sure your PC has installed the driver of your device

3. Let it run and detect your device

4. Click "Root" button on your PC

5. Keep your eye on your device, because it will pop up the admin choice, click "ok"

6. Let it run and restart for several times

7. Done

**I take no responsibility to your device

Nope.

It is a famous Android development group in China. Just like CF. They still have a Web section or mobile and PC program to find your device rom. They have a rom hub to most of the devices. And they allow users to rate the rom like we rate app in playstore.

Their work really brilliant. ;)

Sorted, I just needed to leave it plugged in for about 10 mins before it started to install an additional driver. Now it recognises it, but there is a red cross on the picture of the phone and some Chinese writing, don't know what it means though. So not sure whether to press the green button or not now !!
