[HTC One S] matu89:
ive downloded these gapps : " pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.4-20141019-signed "

is it fine to use them with the latest build of LS ?

and also ive seen in the theard that ive downloaded tha gapps from a ADD-ON MODULES is that also required to download as well ?

thanks (:
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Yes, the mini PA GAPPS package is what I use too...the only add-on module I'm using is the google play/serveice add-on that updates Play Services to the latest specific version for each phone. There is also a generic Play Services included in the mini package but that's generic. The one included in the add-on is flashing the specific Play Service for each phone and has a smaller footprint. To conclude, what you need is the "mini" PA GAPPS + Play Services add-on
[HTC One S] matu89:
Umm ok so i just wanna make sure, ive downloaded this : pa_gapps_playservices-games_update_20141015-signed

and after flashing the gapps im flashing this ?

thanks alot !

Any big changes?
[HTC One S] Rapier:
Just remembered...a workaround for those that want the Performance section in Settings - LiquidSmooth. As you know, it is FCing as soon as you tap it. What you;ll have to do is remove the KernelTweaker.apk and KernelTweaker.odex from /system/priv-app using a root file explorer (either delete the files or rename them adding another extension...old for ex.) then reboot. After rebnoot, install Kernel Tweaker from Play Store and you can launch it from the Performance in LiquidSmooth

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Werewolf88:
I had glass and digitizer replaced on﻿ my S4 couple of months ago, now a part of the left side started to pop off at the edge, you can hear some kind of a clicking sound if you press on it, seems like the glue, or whatever is there, dosen't hold it properly anymore, how do I fix that? thanks in anvance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] emckai:
Was it a 3rd party that repaired your phone? If you broke the glass, they most likely just replaced the glass on the device and reused the adhesive on the phone. Best thing to do is going back to the place you got it repaired and have them redo it. Or if you want to repair it yourself, get some phone double sided tape (google that) and replace the existing adhesive. Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RockRatt:
As stated above probably just used whatever residue glue was left which sometimes works okay. The REAL FIX would have been to have the glass adhered to the digitizer with LOCA (Liquid Optically Clear Adhesive) which would have made it just like fresh from the factory.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] emckai:
Totally forgot about LOCA. OP, you can order small amounts on LOCA on Amazon (around $12?? Forgot) and you can find a lot of tutorials on YouTube. Make sure you don't apply too much and take your time (seriously). Plus you'll need a UV lamp.. or the Sun? O_o
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Werewolf88:
they didn't replace just a glass, they replaced digitizer too
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RockRatt:
How does the screen look when your out in the sun? Is it hard to see in direct sunlight? If it is then they probably only replaced the outer glass.

If they replaced both like they told you it would almost be impossible for the outer glass to separate from the digitizer. I would take it back to them to have them fix it correctly then. Good luck to you and I hope you get it fixed.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] emckai:
Try just replaced the glass. It's impossible to replace the digitizer because it's part of the AMOLED itself. As stated above, go back to the 3rd party and have them replace the adhesive, and please make sure they don't fix the problem by using superglue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Werewolf88:
So ok, here is what happend

I went to that chinese cellphone store realizing that I can't even prove that I fixed the phone there, paid cash and lost receipt) What the guy said that this popping glass is not fixable cause the phone was bent and got deformed that's why the glass pops off, the only thing he can do is replace the whole thing again and he obviously have to charge me again.

I went to another store at the same chinese mall, they said they can replace the whole thing for $160, ok I let them do it, but the glass and screen the installed was 100% fake, color in not black, some kind of bluish and samsung logo had no black edging, I told them that I'm not gonna fu..ng pay for it and they put my old glass back)

Finally I went to authorized samsung service and got it replaced with the 100% original one with 1 year warranty for $300

And yes, I don't even know what he did with the phone first time, phone got bent in my pocket, glass cracked, screen wouldn't turn on and didn't react on any touches, first thing I went to Best Buy Mobile where I got the phone, they're said that I have to replace the whole thing because digitizer gone too, so as couple of my friends and that chinese "specialist" told me. Can you tell what was really wrong with the phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RockRatt:
Not sure what WENT WRONG but IF they replaced the digitizer and glass. Then in actuality they would have had to replace the digitizer/frame/glass as a while package. The digitizer is connected to the frame/sub frame. The outer glass is connected to the digitizer with local adhesive. So it all one unit. So IF it was bent that SHOULD HAVE been corrected when the replaced the WHOLE piece as one. I just had to do that for my SGS3 and it is simple as can be.

Could you post photos? Mine is also coming off and I posted a thread about it earlier and I have NOT had it repaired, I got it straight from AT&T(well my dad did and then shipped it anywho) have not tried taking it apart and I also have not dropped it,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] emckai:
The problem is we don't know what the 3rd party did exactly. I've worked in the Smartphone repair industry for about a year and from experience and stories told by others that came into the store, a lot of stores that repair your phone abuse it and don't give a living sh*t about it. The first chinese store you went to probably made an excuse telling you why the screen was lifting etc, or maybe your device was actually "deformed".

The best thing to do in the first place was going to an authorized Samsung repair to get your screen fixed. Or doing it yourself so you can blame everything on.. yourself if you messed up :] (jk)

"Can you tell what was really wrong with the phone?"

There is no way in telling what actually happened with the phone. Maybe the phone was actually bent slightly causing the glass panel to lift from the frame. Maybe the 3rd party didn't use the correct adhesive causing the glass panel to lift. Or they just seriously messed up and tried covering their tracks. Either way, glad you were able to get your phone repaired by Samsung. :]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Werewolf88:
I can't post any photos, defective part went back to Samsung, if you got your phone straight from AT&T they should fix it under warranty with no charge, I guess
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rommark:
Guys,

Anyone tried this app on LG G2 D802?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grilledmonkey.lagfix&hl=en

This enables TRIM that supposed to come with Android 4.3 update and should help with Lag issues.

Some one tried?

can it harm the device?

Thanks!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
I have bought the premium of this long ago, for my old/other devices.

Please read up on which kind of LAG it should help.

LG G2 is not lagging or rather when its lagging, its due to the throttling or something else.

TRIM won't help. Won't do anything for you. Kinda would like that the placebo effect goes away which some ppl experience on other devices. Not saying it might not help. But mostly it's really just placebo. Lets say 1 in 100 000 specific devices under specific circumstances it helps... and not LG G2 :).

(Not yet)

Android is out for more years, lets say after 5 they introduce TRIM and now every device and every one needs it? Wanna tell me that every device was lagging the past years? < [MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] This was not for you, but for the defenders that will pop out saying that TRIM is the almighty savior of high end devices.

You do not need TRIM. (Again not yet)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timsterzzz:
I used it on my Nexus 7, prior to 4.3. Works good on some devices that have poor i/o over time. I doubt it makes a difference on the G2, we'll most likely have a 4.3 or higher rom with built in trim before you would see any issues with i/o lag.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rommark:
I must say. Installed lagfix on g2, everything being indeed smoother and seems as much less sttutering and scroll lags.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :

From my understanding of trim , you should still see a performance gain no matter what. This gain becomes more apparent as you use and fill your a device.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
Yeah... But ... no... :) real life usage is little different
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puch0021:
Are you referring to the lag and stuttering issue? I don't understand how trim wouldn't help a heavily used G2 on maintaining IO performance over time.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
What I said and meant is that in 99 % cases TRIM is only a placebo.

And in case of LG G2 it's 99.99999% placebo.

Look 5 years phones were fine without TRIM. Now suddenly it's a magic cure?( For a problem that 99% of devices didn't have?)

Even Google knows it's not like that at all. If it was, don't worry there would be more advertising behind it.

Stop reading into the technical details of it. As I said not my first device. Bought the premium one long ago.

Real life usage different from paper.

When you could see some benefits of TRIM on LG G2 we will have Android 5.5

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fygaroo:
I just did a fresh install of a stock rom 4.1.2 and did full factory reset , wiped dalvik and noticed that my Note 2 is getting hot while charging 38-39 Battery temp and around 50c+ CPU temp , i used CPU spy and the phone is running on 1.6ghz while charging , its always 1.6ghz. Is this a normal behavior because i am pretty worried?

Edit: its running 1.6ghz only when its charging and the screen is off , the moment i turn the screen on and unlock the phone it starts to run normally 200mhz-800mhz .
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degakc:
Since you did flash your phone recently, it is quite possible that your phone is running some background maintenance activities (like indexing) during screen-off. If it is not too hot, you could try and see whether it settles down after a 24 hours. However, if it is getting really hot, why don't you try and put the phone into recovery and complete a full charge. Then do a full reset after unplugging from charger and check whether CPU over heating still occurs.

One other option is that you could try to use 'System Tuner' to manually control the CPU Governor. Check out the following thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2509233 for some details on how to control CPU governor settings during 'Screen-off'.

Hello all,

I have ROM Manager Premium app. I have flashed newer versions of CWM Recovery before just fine. I recently decided to pay the $2 or whatever for easy flashes to CWM Touch right from the app. It flashed 6.0.4.4 Touch. When I boot into recovery, the version number is 6.0.3.6, and it is not touch. When I go back into ROM Manager, the version reported as installed is 6.0.4.4. How is this possible and how do I fix this?

I know I can go get the tar or zip and do this manually but I paid for the feature to do it automatically. I don't see any official support channels for Clockworkmod.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dpiffy:
Well I made a mess out of this situation... I was trying to do the OTA update for MJ7 but it was failing.. I seemed to be one of a very select few that got this issue but from researching, I found that I should be able to update via the USB cable on my PC and let the verizon update utility that installed on my PC find the update and install it. Fair enough, it came up and showed an update ready. After download it started installing, after about 5 minutes, it times out and gave me some error that I needed to connected to kies and do a recovery as the update failed. No matter what I did, restarting my phone and recovery mode, everything, it kept taking me to that message, unless I went into ODIN mode, that showed as it was supposed to...

to try and wrap this long story short, I tried many methods of recovering my phone and/or finish the update WITHOUT losing data. Everything I found led to a dead end and I found the only way was to run the recovery through the verizon utility app on the PC. It stated it would not keep data and basically do a factory reset in a nutshell.. No problem I thought, I was thinking it would put me back on my original OS version like MI7 or even ME7 and I could root and recover a lot of my data through Titanium Backup... i found there was no way to root MJ7 (yet) although after the fact I saw the article of attempting to keep it after update, but we know how that went... nonetheless.. the repair did reset my phone and it put the MJ7 (latest version) on the phone... great, no root method there... now i read and from what I understand if I try to flash back to a previous version it permanently logs it and marks this new KNOX marker that its been changed and "voids" the warranty and thus far there is no found way to keep that from happening nor reverse it after it does..

Question is... IS all my research correct as stated in above paragraph? OR is there a way I can safely flash back to a previous STOCK OS such as ME7 or MI7, be able to root the phone again, then go back on my merry way (with or without updating to MJ7 this time after I get my data back, hopefully?) If possible, I want to MAKE SURE I have the correct files or a link supplied to a existing post with download links with the right downloads I need to get. Hate to brick the phone again and go through all this waiting all over again. Any help appreciated!

Thanks,

David
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ryno77:
Sorry, your correct, there is no way back and no way to root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dpiffy:
So to confirm, even if I were to ODIN my way back to a older stock image like ME7 or MI7, what exactly would occur then? Would it work but tick that KNOX 0x0 to 0x1 thus "voiding" warranty but still take me back to previous version where I may root once again...?? Or...??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
This has been said hundreds of times:

You can not move backwards. Once you're on a release, you can only install the same or later software.

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 PM ----------

If you try to flash older software, it'll fail and softbrick your device. This will only allow download mode, requiring you to flash what's expected to recover your phone.

You'll only trip the Knox warranty flag if you try to flash an un-signed bootloader (and, I think, an unsigned recovery.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dpiffy:
Well then please excuse me. As I said I researched this for a lengthy amount of time, I found mixed answers on this issue found some saying it is not possible but doesn't say why (much like you just did, not explain what happens as I asked, all due respect). I found places saying it is possible but this new "KNOX" thing on the latest version which I know VERY little about, that it would add a "count" or change the value but would work, of course many people don't want to do that with there not being a way to revert it back, from my understanding. Then some articles are handing out download links to restore/downgrade left and right. So again, excuse my confusion. Even after starting to write this article and the subject line I used produced possible matches to what I was about to post about, NONE and I repeat NONE of those options fit my question, so I don't need this "it has been said 'hundreds of times" when I just spend the greater part of my afternoon getting my phone updated then it failing and trying to do anything to get it back up and running one way or another. Not in the best of moods as I lost some precious data on my internal storage that otherwise would be safe and able to be restored from the titanium backup, which is proving useless right now. Nope, that is not your fault, but show a LITTLE more respect to this open community instead of being Mr. Moderator over there correcting me on things that aren't exactly made clear from all the other posts I have read today!

It's not a question of if but when someone will figure all this out again... especially for a phone as the S4... i'd be more than happy to put forth a donation to further encourage someone to get things rooted AND unlocked again...
