[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrdiu:
Hey Guys,

So I went from Original firmware I337MVLUAMDJ to I337MVLUAMG1 through Samsung Kies. Everything installed, upon start up, I would past the splash screen, and the next screen that displays "Samsung" in glowing colors, gets stuck there. I've tried battery pulling for 1 minute, holding power + vol + home together, and it seems to not want to get past that screen.

I've already read through numerous forums and threads and have tried various steps, I'm just not sure at this point whether its a procedure that I'm missing, or if its software.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Boot into recovery and wipe cache. If that doesn't solve it. Boot again into the recovery and wipe system/data. My guess is your phone will be working again.

I have Qtek 9000 with following:ROM version: 1.13.64 WWE Radio version: 1.03.00 ExtROM version: 1.13.151 WWE

and also my girl have T-Mobile with following: ROM version: 1.13.48 WWE Radio version: 1.03.01 ExtROM version: 1.13.139 WWE

Now thinking about upgraidung both devices to 1.13.188 ROM

What is your's mind?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] arisg:
Do. Although I have no experience of 1.13.48 I know that 1.13.82 is much better than 1.13.64 that my Qtek came with. Remember, corporate installation with code 0506.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedexGaming:
As you can see in the screenshot, my D802 is getting some pretty bad benchmark scores(20k). When I'm lucky I can get up around the 30k mark, then when I'm not so lucky, I fall down to performance lower than the GS4. I know, I know, benchmark scores doors not really matter in real world usage. But when it comes to crunching numbers, I expect the processor to perform its best!

Just some info about my setup:

-D802

-CyanogenMod 10.2 Nov 14 nightly.

-The "Custom G2" kernel by Wootever

-My device is overclocked to 2.5Ghz (saw a little performance increase, BTW this OC was done within the "performance" menu in cm10.2)

-Anything else important?

And just if anyone was wondering, all my scores are better with CM than on the stock LG firmware.

Any magic I can do to bump my bench scores? I have heard some people talking about a hidden dial menu, but I can't seem to access it..

Any help, or just feedback is appreciated!:)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Walter21026:
When I first saw the Chart I thought to myself "CyanogenMod" then I read your post aaaand "CyanogenMod". Most people have been complaining about low bench scores on CM nightlies, some are better than others but Ive read post about people getting in the 17k with CM. Flash the stock Rom then post your scores and see how much that helps the cause.

Edit: Quick note, I dont think I have ever gotten over 23k with CM on this device so I have experienced this as well, not just reading up on it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedexGaming:
The thing is just that i cant stand the look or feel of the stock LG ui. So any other AOSP like rom that is good performing? Also, im not getting that much better scores with the stock rom..
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Walter21026:
All the AOSP roms that dont have major bugs are all performing very well. They just dont score well, its not at all indicative of the hardware, its the Rom. But if your having very low scores on a stock Rom then you might need to get it replaced. Do you have shots of the stock scores? Also make sure that your not using your phone for about 5 min before benching at all or else you might thermal throttle.

Edit: Make sure your governer is set to ondemand or performance and make sure your at 2.2ghz. Some CM roms stay stuck at 1.7ghz and im not sure if this bug has been fixed yet either.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedexGaming:
Thats also what i find kinda weird, CM is way smoother than the stock ROM, but is worse when it comes to crunching numbers.

Any way I can disable the throttling without doing damage to my device?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woof123:
Even if you do that,it wont do you any good.The only way to get better scores atm is only the official roms...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedexGaming:
Well, thanks to you and Walter for the input.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Walter21026:
A bounty for AOKP recently reached its goal and is going to be in development very shortly. Keep your eyes open AOKP Roms usually always bench better than CM. Its a great performance ROM with way more features than CM. Keep an eye on the original android thread. Developers name is rohan.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedexGaming:
I have just always preferred the more professional look of CyanogenMods website and other services, and I guess that is what made me think it would be one of the best out there. I will keep an eye on AOKP from now on.:)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] War-Rasta:
Many manufacturers are known for favoring benchmark apps in their ROMs to achieve better scores. I don't know if this is the case with the G2 but, if it is, then switching to a ROM that doesn't have that (such as CM) would make it appear less powerful on the benchmarks.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Ackoman:
Hello all,

Just lately I've done a lot of toing and froing between Android 4.1, 4.3 and 4.4, and I'm finding the whole sdcard/0 folder malarkey a complete pain. It seems as though my file structure is getting more and more messed up, and I appear to have folders called things like sdcard/0/download/0/download/0 etc. etc.

Some file explorers appear to not let you interrogate the whole file structure, and I am beginning to find it difficult to access files that I know are present, simply because I don't know what convoluted path to take.

I can't be the first person who was swapped backwards and forwards between different Android versions, and so I was wondering what the solution is?

Thanks,

Ackoman

I've also noticed that this is not relegated to just being on a call. It's ALL the time. Screen off, I put the phone to my ear, wifi on or off, off a call, and I still hear the sound. I really think it's less the earpiece and more right below it behind the screen. I have pretty sensitive hearing, and this isn't my imagination playing tricks on me.

During a call, it does get so loud that I have to pull the phone away from my ear.

[HTC Sensation] webstar1:
My HTC Sensation, has stopped charging altogether. I took it off charging and when i put it on 10 min later, the LED didnt light up, so i got a toothpick and tried cleaning thecharging port just in case something tiny went in and was blocking it to charge, but that didnt work. The phone was working fine until the battery died and i still cant get it to charge. Now im wondering whats broken, to all those repair specialists out there, what could be broken? I can buy a charging port from ebay, but is that it? or could it be anything else.

I was looking to upgrade soon but was waiting for some christmas deals to pop up, but my phone decided to let me down.

Any help appreciated, thanks guys
[HTC Sensation] anomalic:
Did you solved the problem by buying a new phone?, the problem could be the USB connector himself, if you are very handy you can repair it yourself...
[HTC Sensation] pastee:
maybe your battery died
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
I'm assuming you've got it fixed / moved on to a different phone / are using an external charger, but this thread got bumped to the top so I figured I'd chime in.

I had this problem as well. Unfortunately, the usb port is soldered on the board and not a separate unit attached via ribbon cable. The solder joint holding the port on the pcb cracked, resulting in a loose port. Over time, this lead to the pins breaking off the pcb. For a while, I was able to get it to charge by applying pressure to the usb plug. Finally, I took it apart and resoldered it, reinforcing the solder joints for the port itself. It's not too difficult if you use some flux. Just line up the pins and tack the port back on. Then rub flux over the pins and tack them with the soldering iron. No additional solder is needed or recommended-- the pins are in close proximity and it'd be easy to bridge them.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Fletch75:
Afternoon everyone. I have a question I was looking for some help or direction on. I have 2 phones on hand one is a Samsung Galaxy s3 sprint version and the other is a LG Viper 4G Lte sprint phone. I bought the galaxy with the thought I would use it on one of the sprint resellers that allows bring your own used sprint phones like Voyager. They can activate all old non active Sprint phones. I bought that galaxy as the esn was clean but had trouble getting it on and come to find out its a clean esn but the phones imei is listed as active to an account still meaning I can not turn it directly on untill the last owner gets a new phone on contract to kick that one out or until the fill contract length it was subsidized on is completed which is about a year away still. That sais the old sprint branded LG viper I have is completely clean and not active on an account. My question and thought for educational purposes is can I simply just swap the imei number from the good to goo viper to the galaxy 3 and then be good to go or is that imei alaos attached to the esn? In that case Is it possible to swap all the info from one phone to the other including the lte 4G and then just turn it on that way? The viper I checked with Voyager mobile and they can turn it on no issue on sprints network. I want to use the galaxy on Voyager which is sprint but I would like it to have full lte 4G working. The Viper is also Lte and could be the donor. What can I do as far as options like this since Im using 2 sprint lte phones and will keep these on sprints network...? Thanks for ideas in advance.

[General Questions and Answers] delicatefade:
My wife had a Samsung Captivate on Straight Talk (AT&T) that died so I got her a GSM unlocked Samsung Nexus S GT i9020 on Ebay. We used her previous SIM card. Everything works fine except the data speeds are Edge (2G) only. I called Straight Talk for about 2 hours today and they were stumped. At some point it got escalated to a supervisor and he eventually told me "we are going to update something over our network for you over the next few hours. Hopefully it will help." and got off the phone.

Still Edge speeds only.

The Ebay listing says

2G Network	GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G Network	HSDPA 900 / 1700 / 2100

The APN settings are correct, verified on the Straight Talk website and on the phone today.

Did I get the wrong model? Help! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tomaco:
(I am running rooted stock 4.3 now)

Six months ago I had a problem with the speed of the phone. It kept freezing , was sluggish etc. but I solved it by running lag fix + other apps and also factory resetting. The problem started slowly, day by day the phone was slower and more unresponding. After 4.3 I thought it is gone (because of trim support).

However last week the same thing has started, phone was slower and slower... But, 2 days ago it started rebooting itself randomly (every 5 minutes) and Play store, Gmail and other apps started FCing. Today I tried doing nandroid backup, which failed, after reboot I couldn't access internal storage, and after another reboot all application data were deleted. I did factory reset but it didn't help. Now I can access internal storage but the phone is still rebooting every 5 minutes and I am wondering what to do.

I have 2 options, lock bootloader and send it to Samsung, or try to fix it myself. What do you think?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zamzameir:
well if you still have warranty better lock the bootloader back and sent it for repair..

[Moto X Q&A] mwep:
I am sorry if this question was previously asked/answered as I did review the forums, but couldn't find an answer.

This is my first experience with a Moto X (GSM) Developer Edition, specifically running on ATT.

I am a bit confused by which ROMS, Kernels, etc are ok to use on my device.

I see many ROMS which say VZW, ATT, TMobile but I am not sure which is ok to use.

Should I be looking for only things which have been specifically labeled ATT Dev Edition or will anything for ATT work ?

Sorry for the newbie question, but I haven't dealt with a device with so many flavors which didnt have a dedicated forum.

Thanks!!
[Moto X Q&A] Steve-x:
On the GSM developer edition you'd want to stick with the tmobile/retail flash images if you're leaving the bootloader locked. If you unlock the bootloader then you can load nearly any image but I'd stick with ones from the XT1053 and XT1058 only. (XT1058 being the model AT&T uses, so you can try AT&T flash images if you like)
[Moto X Q&A] RorixRebel:
Well stay away from the Verizon stuff and you should be fine.

That's why a Verizon dev edition exists.

Hi,

i have a used mytouch 4g which i rooted, s-off and gfree for my mom. she does not need data. i was able to pop in her att sim card and i had to manually select AT&T as a registered carrier. but every now and then, it would unregister itself and i would have to manually go into settings and select at&t again. i did this for my friend awhile back and it was fine for her. the only thing different is the rom. she was using CM7 and my mom is using slim bean 4.2.2. could it be the rom or did i mess something up while unlocking the phone? the phone had 2.3.4, and i had to downgrade before i can s-off and run gfree. though it looks like everything completed sucessfully, her phone keeps getting unregistered.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] icy4phone:
Researched this a lot, found some solutions, bad and good fixes and after trying some different twists on it after two days this is what I found to be the best, and I decided since this is just as bad as 4.0/4.1 and the mediaserver battery drain I might as well try and help at least 1 person by mass posting this reply I wrote else where to other threads, so here you go:

"Hey- I don't know if you, or anyone else has found a working solution, but here is the way I found best:

Note- I am on galaxy s4 [sgh-i337] running a 4.4 KitKat rom. I have found the following work around to work best for me:

1 Google now & Hotword detection=OFF,

2 GPS = OFF and turned on only when needed, eg maps/checkin on facebook/whatever needs location.

3 Settings-> Manage Apps -> Google Play Services -> Manage Space -> Clear All Data.

**Optional:After this [root only] I go into KT tweaker and make sure my phone cpu is set to a max of 810 Mhz when screen off.**

This fix usually works until I reset the phone. I ALWAYS follow those 3 steps when rebooting. AND always check that after I've used GPS that Google Play Services isn't keeping my phone awake. [Eg, after 30 minutes I check if the phone ever went to sleep again when the screen was off.] IF it does act up, I repeat steps 1, 2 &3. I still get notifications and all, and this is the least feature disabling way I've found that works with the cost of a little micro-management of your phone.

With this fix I can idle for an estimated 5-6days. As I take off my phone from charge at 8am and at noon with minimal usage [maybe 4 or 5 texts] I am at 97%. With WiFi on & connected.

OTHER: I personally keep NFC&Android beam&Bluetooth OFF, and turn ON when I need it on. Other- WiFi is always ON, and "Scanning Always Available" & "WiFi Optimization" is checked ON for me. And for location mode when I do have it on, I keep it at EDIT: Device only. Using only gps to find my location.

All in all, I hope this gets fixed."

I can post screen shots and all if somebody wants them or if there is need for one
