[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanjiajun_34:
Not sure why you think that Samsung devices are low quality, if you are thinking because its plastic feels cheap then I disagree with you. I had many friends using Samsung devices such as the S3 and Note 2 and fewer friends owning HTC devices. However, my Samsung friends except for one whose phone cannot switch on for no reason had no problems with their phones. However for my HTC friends, one of them who just used his phone barely 1/2 year is having problems with his power button. The other also had problems with his power button and recently his LCD just refused to switch on.

As for me myself, I owned S1, S3 and now S4 and I had no problems with any of the devices. All of them are still working perfectly. I also owned a LG Nexus 4. That device feels more "expensive" than any Samsung devices. It feels more solid but however just using it like 2 months. The power button spoilt. Then I fixed it myself and about 6 months later, the touchscreen's digitizer starts to spoilt and due me giving up that phone for an S4.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jodvova:
This is my second Galaxy S4 GE btw. The first one had a malfunctioning proximity sensor. Basically when you make a phone call holding a phone on a distance, the screen goes black immediately. I returned it to google for a replacement too.
[Droid Pro General] Vlasp:
Is there any hope for android 4.4 for this device? I will try in my spare time (I don't have much though)
[Droid Pro General] bytebrahma:
Would love to...but

i also would love to do so...but I doubt if our device is compatible.. :confused:

meanwhile i saw vets like tzuba and rongsang have given up development on this device. :sad:

I think if we can weed out the bugs in ICS that would be great!!!

Now my status bar is gone and my phone freezes sometimes and I keep getting a pop up that says systemui has stopped reponding. I have a verizon galaxy note 2 rooted with no you verizon Model number SCH-I605 firmware 4.1.2. I did not backup my ssystemui.apk (I know that was stupid. ) what should I do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] johnwaynegacy:
Restore the backup that you made before playing with your system files :cyclops:

If you failed to do that, replace the systemui.apk with the copy that you made before modifying it.:good:

If you failed to do that, reflash your rom. you should be able to do it without wiping data. :eek:

I have seen that there is an updated rom

Updated

For the Worldwide English Build:

Rom version: 1.1.9.3

Radio version: 01.01.10

ExtROM version: 1.1.9.106

It looks like that the ExtROM was updated

Any idea what is new ?

On Google groups people are upset, and rightfully so.

The Nexus 7 touchscreen problem has been ignored by google, Asus, the tech press......

Google has had a free pass long enough.

I'm glad I was able to return mine.

I hope you guys are paying attention to how they are handling this defect.....IGNORE IT.

I would advise to never buy from a company who ignores or runs from problems.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] z0phi3l:
Mine works fine and most of the complaints are exaggerated as usual
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] kayakaddict:
Sure they are......:good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] NekroWolfen:
Mine does have this annoying touch problems, and it's really annoying. Yours fine? Good, please don't disrespect others complaint if yours "fine".

This is the kind of thing I don't understand, someone does a thread of the issue/news on it and suddenly comes people with their "fine" product and post how "fine" theirs are or/and that they don't care.

If your Nexus is "fine", then no need to read about it, enjoy it, but there are a lot of us who got a bad unit, I can't return it because it started after the 15 days of return warranty, so I'm stuck with it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] random_username_:
I don't have breast cancer so most of the complaints are exaggerated as usual.

See the flaw in your logic?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] kayakaddict:
Yup, and the 15 day return period is a joke as well.

All defects should be covered by a free replacement warranty equal to the product warranty.....NOT REPAIR...and the customer should not pay a dime for shipping.

At least one year......after the way Google has handled this they should extend the free replacement warranty to 3 years. (Yeah right)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] NekroWolfen:
I'm not buying an Asus device again that's for sure, at least not until the product is well tested...
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] kayakaddict:
Same here.....Google could have kept me by taking care of the problem.

I'm done with them too. They gave me the run around so bad I'm still dizzy.....
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] DaemonAshra:
Please don't disrespect us who have perfectly working products by only calling out those who have issues.

Mine works fine.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] johnomaz:
I'm not sure if 7 people in that thread is really Google taking a beating. Also, it really isn't Google's problem. It is Asus'. How many tablets were sold vs how many have the issue. I got mine on launch day and no issue. I've had to send a few different items back to Asus in the past and had to pay shipping every time, but then again, $7 for shipping vs having to buy a new item is ok in my eyes. What a gimme gimme gimme world we live in.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] NekroWolfen:
Next time, read well before quoting something directed to another user. I was specifically quoting him for saying that most of the complaints were exagerated, were a touch problem on a touch screen device is definitely not exagerated, besides how could you know if your device is working "fine". My quote wasn't directed at you, not interested in continuing this. ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] kayakaddict:
ROFL!!

"A gimme gimme world!!" - You are a corporations dream come true!!!

I paid for a defective product and in my business, I take care of my customers who receive defects.

You are SO wrong.

Such a "gimme gimme world" that I just spent money on a new tablet that actually WORKS!!! Nobody gave it to me!! IMAGINE THAT. I spent my hard earned dollars and received a functioning product - WOW!! What a novel concept.

No need to be a prick.....and you were one.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ilikeguitars:
I currently have a mild problem with the touch, it's not as bad as some but its still annoying. Has anyone who has rooted and installed a custom rom experience the touch problem go away?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
You use the word "so" where he uses "and". Two very different words and uses. I'm sorry if someone close has developed some form of cancer but don't bring it to an Android forum...:good:

Edit: Google isn't taking near the beating as you nay sayers lol
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] RayLancer:
Mine's been working fine with no issues *knocks on wood*. I got it at launch. I don't expect any device to launch without issues but maybe it's just me. I'm not seeing this as a common widespread issue.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] random_username_:
Okay replace and with so, my point still stands.

I also don't see how my analogy would be offensive to someone who knows someone with breast cancer so don't turn it into that, you also don't make the rules so I'll bring it up if I want to.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] gr8twhite:
Yup.

My touchscreen was mildly effected also. Mostly the missing touch problem when not holding the device (ie: sitting on a table or such).

Rooted using the forum tutorials, installed sfhub's ts10 update and the touchscreen works fine now. No skips, no missing or ghost touches.

For the record, I've only been using android for about 2 weeks now so it's not that hard to learn how to apply the fix that worked on mine.

Now, should an end user have to do you this to their device? Nope, it should come this way. For mine it was such an easy fix, it would seem they have no excuse for not designing the software properly in the first place.

I quite like the rest of the devices features (ie: nice screen, battery life, speed, just right size for book reading and fitting in my coat pocket, etc) and it's quickly becoming a favorite device of mine.

As to those saying thiers works fine, I think they are valid comments. Not all the devices are effected and as is normal with human behavior, those that feel "screwed" are often the ones who are the loudest. Not that they're not justified in being upset with getting a "broken" product, they are.

But it is equally valuable to hear from those that get products that work.

How else are we going to know if there are more bad than good if we don't also hear from "the good"?

:)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
You're absolutely right: I don't make the rules and you can bring it up if you want to. I was simply suggesting that life and death disease analogies can always offend Someone and might be a little overboard on an Android forum.

You would need to replace so with and. He was making two separate points and connecting with the word and, while you are expressing cause-effect with so (should be used in conclusion). Though due to ambiguity I could be completely wrong. You brought up logic. I just thought it would be easier for two rational human beings to get to the same spot.

And my G2 screen is wonkier than my Nexus 7. Turning it off and back on seems to solve it though.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] cowisland:
Guys, let's not argue about whether what's important to one is also important to you. Everyone has their own opinion. It looks like enough people are upset about the issues, and that is a fact.

I am one of those people. After devs here on XDA put together near perfect AOSP roms for my ThunderBolt, I expected stuff coming out of Google directly to be rock solid. N7 is my first Nexus device, and I am quite disappointed with regular random reboots that I still have, as well as intermittent touch screen issues. For example, I can't play Subway Surfers since N7 keeps ignoring some portion of screen touches (leading me to crash lol).

My HTC DNA, however, is rock solid on the stock rom. Why can't a Nexus device be the same? People typically complain of manufacturers adding stuff to android that makes it worse. Well, I am not so ready to say that now. As far as I am concerned, HTC is doing a better job with their devices than Google.

PS, TB was buggy when it came out, but all the bugs were subsequently fixed, even on Verizon!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] NekroWolfen:
Couldn't say it better, let's keep it a happy forum, and just to reflect what you just said, the same thing goes for me with Dead Trigger 2, I can't play it because of this, it's simply NOT fair, after I paid for this device. :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 2Radon:
I can't cange my Xperia U kernel from Windows 8.1 via fastboot.

Is there a way to do that without fastboot? If so, how?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
If you ave adb access you can root and install CWM and flash with it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 2Radon:
I have currently CWM on my phone as the recovery. What should I do?

Copy the boot.img to SD card, go CWM Advanced -> Img tools and use it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 2Radon:
Oh and if I flash kernel from CWM, will my CWM disappear or get changed? Or can I recover through it any time?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 2Radon:
Those functions are not implemented in my CWM yet... So how?

If I just flash CM10 ROM over some sort of Sony kernel will it brick?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
You need to have a flashable zip file, or get one from another kernel and replace the .img file.

If the CWM was with the kernel you lose it, it you installed CWM for locked bootloader than not.

Do you have locked or unlocked bootloader?

Read the instruction for rom installation or you will likely be back for help to unbrick your phone.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 2Radon:
I think I have unlocked bootloader, unless that changed when I reset the phone and re-rooted it from CM to some Sony kernel... (But if I have it rooted then I must have unlocked?) How do I check that?

And how do I check if my CWM came with the kernel? I don't clearly remember whether I specifically installed CWM myself or it was with the kernel/ROM.

Flashable zip? You mean the CM10 ROM zip? It's on SD card at the moment, along with Gapps and boot.img out of CM10 zip.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
If you have unlocked BL it remains unlocked unless you relock it, flashing kernels or roms does not relock it.

It's hard to tell where you're CM comes from, if you on CM rom it probably is in the kernel, most if not all custom kernels come with CWM.

Which kernel exactly do you want to flash (link to thread). Many custom kernel have a flashable zip, you just need to replace the kernel file (and possibly rename it).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 2Radon:
I use this ROM at the moment: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2289674

I had to flash a kernel for it, I came from CM when I did that. Now I want to go back to CM.

I want to flash Cyanogen Mod 10 or 9: http://freexperiaproject.com/

Can't fastboot as Windows 8.1 will at this point never recognize it, and I couldn't connect my phone using Oracle VM with virtual Windows 7. Last resort is the phone itself, which I came to me last.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
My advise to you is, if you can't flash with flash mode or fastboot don't flash anything because you won't be able to recover in case of need which is most likely to happen.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] manudo:
Windows 8.1, huh?

Two simple solutions...

Try to install drivers and flash from flashtool or try to flash the kernel with adb, there are two different ways that I know.

By the way, did you tried to flash from a Linux based OS like Ubuntu? It may work on that.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 2Radon:
I haven't tried doing it with Ubuntu, but can I connect my device to an Oracle VM virtual Ubuntu? I couldn't to a Windows 7, but I'm not sure it's the virtual OS's fault.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] manudo:
If Ubuntu can recognize it then good, try to flash from Ubuntu's terminal, I didn't tried in a guest virtual OS but if any problem happen post here. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Comp625:
I've ran a variety of TW ROMs including CleanROM, Hyperdrive and am currently running BoneStock - all are based on 4.1.2.

However, Bluetooth Calling/Voice quality sucks when I am paired with my car (2010 Nissan Maxima). I can hear callers fine, but they say I sound garbled and robotic. At first, I thought the problem was my car until I paired an iPhone and call quality was fine.

FYI, streaming music via Bluetooth works perfectly.

I've done research on XDA and other forums, and the problem seems to be with 4.1.2. Does anyone know if switching over to an AOSP 4.3 ROM will alleviate Bluetooth issues?

I like everything else about Touchwiz (e.g. the stability, battery life, etc.) and I know Google was messing around with the Bluetooth stack. However, I work in Sales and need Bluetooth in the car. Thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] starcraft04:

Sorry for not seeing your post sooner. If I get a chance, I am going to flash 4.3 ROM's myself (4.4 is still a bit unstable for my tastes) this weekend and see if the BT stack is improved.

Otherwise, I think I might jump on the Moto X deal happening on Monday (if the MotoMaker site decides to work. :silly:)

Hi, the Nexus 5 is going to be my first phone(I finally have enough money to afford it and the plan. Thank you Google and T-mobile :'D ) and android device, so I want to be very careful with it.

depending on what apps you run, you might not even need root. on my current phone, the only reason i have root is for adblock apps like adaway or greenify to improve battery life. otherwise i don't feel like there is a need to root it in a hurry.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donatom3:
I haven't rooted my work Galaxy S4, or my 2013 Nexus 7 and I honestly don't feel any reason I need to now.

Android has gotten to the point that things really run well and I don't find much customizing I need to do. I need something stable and that just works.

I've rooted all the other phones before Evo, Evo 3d, Evo LTE, Galaxy Note 2.

I don't believe in the ad blocking apps since these are usually on apps I like that developers give for free and I feel they need to make their money.

My only hurdle was moving my Google Authenticator app data to a new phone, but once I found out how to pull the keys off of one of my rooted phones it was easy to input them on my non rooted phones.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marinierb:

Few questions on this

(1) Will rooting stop/delay the automatic android update from google?

(2) After unlocking a bootloader is it possible to lock it back? In another sense, is it obvious that the phone's bootloader is unlocked? I rmb unlocking the bootloader of my motorola razr and the start screen comes with a "This phone's bootloader has been unlocked" sign.

(3) Will rooting and/or unlocking the bootloader void the warranty?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aletto:
AFAIK 1 - no. 2 - yes, it is obvious, but you can lock it again. 3 - yes.

Mind you, I don't have a N5 (currently N4) yet and it depends on the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] megazeroxuxm:
Hi guys, i swear i searched! for like days! i still haven't found out how to solve this issue. problem started when i tried hellybean a few weeks back, and then i heard someone on the thread said to try and use the latest beta uber kernel at the time, and i did. What end up happening was that my hardware keys are dead, the lights still works but very dim, i think this is because of the swipe to wake thing where it leaves your hardware keys on 24/7 as long as the phone is on, which is not that bad because i'm now used to using the nav bar. but the real problem is that now every time I install a rom that is not JB 4.1 (haven't tried 4.2 though) i.e. 4.3, 4.3.1, it gets stuck at the app optimization screen, it would go about half way through optimizing the apps, and then just reboots itself, and it'll do that over and over, like boot loop but it can actually go into the rom. So i think this is not as bad as a situation as soft bricking or hard brick, but i just really don't know what the heck is going on to even try and fix it. I've tried odin, thinking that there may be something wrong in the boot file, nada, factory reset, nada, the only thing that worked was installing the 4.1 roms, i think it is because the 4.1 roms don't require app optimization.

If anything maybe anyone out there can help me find a way to disable app optimization? maybe that'll let me get into the rom.

btw, i dont really mind using 4.1, but i really want to try the jedi rom, but having my hardware buttons dead and jedi rom being TW and it doesn't seem to have a nav bar make it impossible for me to use the rom, so i've only been able to use cyanogen 4.1, which are great but they are pretty outdated, so if there are anyway to fix that, lmk too.

Anyways, any help would be appreciated thanks a ton guys! sry for essay!
