I bought a phone once and got home to find it was loaded not only with the prev owners info, contacts and accounts...but page upon page of text messages and emails arranging drug deals. Not huge stuff...but there were names, addresses, , the whole lot. Months worth.

I can't understand how the guy selling it never thought he should maybe wipe that?

So I was running some custom rom from a long time ago. My speaker blew so I went to unroot and go back to stock.

Some how along the way I deleted the everything on my sd card. Whatever, I booted into bootloader

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.zip

Bam. Recovery is back online. Great so I go to flash a rom using sideload. Okay great says its good to go. Nothing, just brings me back to bootloader and recovery isn't working again. Okay different rom. Try like 4 or 5 other roms and get teh same thing everything. Each time I have to reinstall recovery. I'm going crazy, spent like 9 hours on this crap. Someone please oh please teamview me or something :(

I've also already tried pushing the roms to the phone, had no difference when I went to install them.

I'm at S-on and unlocked with the tamper message above it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decayer177:
Relock your bootloader and run an RUU.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenPope:
I don't know what you're doing wrong.

Try

fastboot erase cache

To get your recovery working properly.

Then when you flash ROMs, be sure to wipe system and cache.

- how to know if my device's windows version is 2003 OR 2003 SE?

- where to download the file himagetdevicedata?

-I want to upgrade my radio rom to 1.18.

For that i need, I suppose, the file himaupgrade_ut.exe in order to launch the upgrade.

But i dont know where to find this file : no results in my desktop pc nor in my himalaya. Where to download it? Or where to download another appropriate launcher?

Here is a try of first contribution:

Browsing through all the new kit kat goodies on my Nexus4 and i found the option for internet calling.

I'm assuming its similar to T-Mobile's wifi calling, so that bounty thread may go bye bye!

So I was wondering if anyone has used the Internet Calling "For all calls when data network is available" setting as a daily driver, and if so how has your experience been in terms of call quality and dropped calls?

Also found the google support thread that has basic directions: Here

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerngehirn:
Hey fellas,

I have a question. Is it possible to get a RMA after One year?

I got my nexus 4 in December 2012 and rma'd it because of broken volume rockers in January.

Now that I wanted to buy a Nexus 5 and therefore sell my nexus 4 I recognized a few things on my nexus 4 while doing a thoroughly inspection.

The chrome of the display frame is slowly vanishing although I never dropped my phone or treated it in a rough way. Always in my jeans pocket.

Furthermore, the case is creaking when I press slightly on the back. And the volume rocker and power button are creaking as well.

And what i'm not sure of if its normal or not: the front camera shows my face only if I pivot the to the left and down. The camera seems to be tilted.

All these things would decrease the selling price significantly. Do you guys have any experience if a RMA is possible for those reasons and after such a long time? The creaking problems existed from the beginning btw.

Thanks

I only want to know if it is possible to get a RMA after a year or not. Repaired or replaced. I don't care.

If it's not the creaking case, it's the tilted camera. That's definitely not my fault and since I never used the front camera I never recognized it.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] opticaldh:
Currently, I am using a Nexus 7 (2013) and my battery goes down very fast due to an process called MediaServer. I noticed that each time I run Samurai Siege, this process run too.

Is there any of you experience this problem?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] MartCLEANRFr:
First of all, you have to understand that the MediaServer runs whenever there is MEDIA played. (music is one big part of it)

For you to reduce consumption of MediaServer:

- As much as possible, play apps and games without audio.

- Download "RESCAN MEDIA ROOT" app from play store to disable background loops for finding and scanning media. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascannerroot&hl=en

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] sperho:
Hopefully the powers that be don't do a DMCA takedown on my youtube video, but I've uploaded an example of a video playback glitch that regularly occurs on my device. Does anyone else see this on their Note 10.1 2014 edition? Very annoying... SM-P600, 32GB, USA version, MK1 firmware. Not rooted.

http://youtu.be/gU6x1CLGa8E
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] sperho:
So far, I must be in the less than 1% that have experienced this problem...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] madsquabbles:
you didn't include any info on the clip. audio codec, video codec, bitrate, profile, etc. what videomplayer are you using. is the glitch repeatable at that exact frame each time?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Elim:
You can be sure that when somebody else had such problems, you will already find it here in the forum. So, no, never have such an issue. Also not over the network.

And, as mad squabbles already wrote: For more we need much more information.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] sperho:
The movie was downloaded from Samsung Hub to the device. HD quality. The videoplayer was the only one that plays these movies (to my knowledge): The stock Samsung video player. The glitch is not repeatable at exact locations. I can go back and rewatch the same clip and it will not appear, which says to me that there is not a data corruption problem. It seems like an I/O or "interrupt" problem to me. I've run Androbench on the device and I get as good as or better than the Anandtech benchmarks for the device.

This type of glitch occurs on any kind of move I play, including those I put on the device (mp4, etc). For the ones I have put on the device manually (not through Google Play or the Hub), I've tried the following players: Dice, MX, Archos, and the stock player.

In all other respects, the device works flawlessly: no lag to speak of (except for the occasional stutter on the notifications pull-down, which seems to be the norm). It doesn't crash randomly and battery life seems normal (no less than 7-10 hours of screen on time, ~4% drain overnight. The only thing that I have that probably isn't too common is that I do have MDM software installed (MaaS360) so that I can sync with my employers Exchange servers using TouchDown.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Elim:
Normally I would expect that you have an background process which got more attention from Android then your video player. This can be anything. Did you have this issue also after a directly after a restart?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] sperho:
Yes, I have the issue immediately after a restart.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] sperho:
I just removed MaaS360 and rebooted. The glitch remains...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] sperho:
Factory resetting now. Will report back when I get it back online. I'll test video before installing any third party apps...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] sperho:
And.....it's still glitching after a factory reset.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] fantasmanegro:
First thing I noticed was that this scene is similar to super Mario live action movie

Second, this glitch can happen when you read from a slow SD card or can be reading and writing at same time, for example downloading from torrent or installing apps and playback movies from same location.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] sperho:
Indeed. However, movies are playing from the internal memory without any other significant activity going on. (no D/Ls, etc. just normal device behavior that is native to the OS) going on in the background. I also have played video in airplane mode...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Elim:
and the media scan which have issues with scanning some files. Maybe you check which processes are running in the background?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] sperho:
There is always *some* process running in the background... I have cleared all other applications while playing a movie, but really, should this be necessary? (Problem still remains) I've tried playing movies without any non-stock apps installed. Problem occurs. I've tried freezing as much bloatware as possible without rooting before installing third part apps. Problem occurs.

What I would like to explicitly know is this: has anyone rented a movie from Google Play, played at least 30 minutes straight while doing nothing but watching the movie, and saw any stuttering whatsoever during that 30 minutes. I can live with it if it is a suboptimal experience due to firmware (I'm on MK1, btw) if this is "normal" for this device. I could only hope that it would be fixed in a future firmware update if that was the case. However, I have a strong feeling that if I sent this in to Samsung, they'll fiddle with it for 10 minutes, see that it "seems" to be fine (except for this glitch, the device performs completely as-expected for an Android device), then it be returned to me with no action taken. I can live without this thing for a few weeks, but it will be extremely annoying if nothing is actually done about it. Given that this glitch is not reproducible on command, I fear it will be an ongoing thorn in my proverbial behind. Unfortunately, my return window has expired or else it would go back in an instant.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] sperho:
Used Kies to download and reinstall the MK1 firmware in case one of the OTA updates were corrupted. No joy. Still stutters. Samsung Live Chat help of no use. I expect a call or email from them telling me to send it in in the next 3-5 business days unless someone else states that they have the same tablet and sees this problem too, possibly confirming that it is a firmware/device combination issue.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] fantasmanegro:
Mmm this is weird, I have no problem with video playback (any supported format by this device)

I have no MK1 but MJ2 and maybe media scanner is working hard in background

Are you using external SD card and / or have many pictures?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] fantasmanegro:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] sperho:
MX player shows glitches as well on movies that it can actually play. i.e., MX player doesn't play nicely with rented (digitally rights managed) movies from Google, which is the primary problem. Perhaps Android tablet users just don't rent movies all that much?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] sperho:

Are you using any sd card speeding apps ( or similar apps that can set sd card read heads )....?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] sperho:
No. I've also tried to force GPU rendering as well in dev options to see if that would help. It did not...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] asifcheer:
I too had the same problem 2 days before( or maybe it was always there , and I failed to recognise it until you said about it )

The audio is smooth but the video glitches( hd and non hd videos) sometime...

I tried reboot and even then no good..

Then I found that the 'performance control' app which I have been using for a while have an option to change sd-read head .....which I then changed to a value of 2048 mb.... and now it's working smoothly

I am not sure whether the glitch is completely gone or will creep up after a reboot

So give a try to some sd-speeding apps like

Sd speed increase

Sd booster

Performance control
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] sperho:
Thanks... I'd love to try one of those apps, but I'm not willing to void my warranty just yet by tripping Knox... they require root, right?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] asifcheer:
Ya they requires root access....

By the way you can try with higher class sd-cards (class 6 or more)

Mine was a 16GB class 4 memory card for which I got video glitches.

But its running fine with 8GB class 4 memory card.

Either you lower the capacity or increase the class

Hope it helps you....
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] sperho:
I'm thinking that it wouldn't help me... The glitch occurs even when the Samsung Hub or Google Play videos are stored on the device memory or the SD card and I'm using a Class 10 Sandisk SD card.

I learned something last night. I was watching the extended "preview" of RED 2 last night on Google Play, which is a 13.5 minute video. The video was streaming and there wasn't a single stutter during playback. I would have usually experienced 2 or 3 glitches during that time span if I were to be playing a movie back from a locally-stored file. Thus, it appears that it may be some kind of storage issue or I/O issue in the hardware. I've ran a number of benchmarks on the device memory and I always get great results. So while I was happy to see this data point last night, the benchmark performance numbers don't really jibe with the video watching experience. Also, I've logged CPU usage while watching a movie and the CPU is only working at about 3 to 10% loads on average, so it isn't a very intensive process to watch a video. Just a few more observations...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] nateperro:
I'm having the same problem. Video that is stored locally glitches up. I'm thinking of exchanging the tablet. The other issue I get is that the video editor app will not work (simply crashes when I try to start the app). I'm still testing things out, I'll let you know if I find a solution.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] sperho:
At this point, I do not think it is a hardware issue on the tablet. Here's another data point: I pinned a Google Play movie on my Galaxy S3 and the stuttering occured on that device as well. I've viewed locally-stored HD videos on that device a number of times before and no glitching occurs, just like my experience with the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014. In other words, I think there is a DRM-related problem with these devices. I have no intentions of sending my device in for service at this point. Everything works fine, it doesn't crash, it's smooth, good battery life, etc. I just hope that optimizations in the future cures this annoying problem. I think a lot of people must rip and store, and not download videos from the Play Store as much as I do. I don't buy movies on disk and I travel a lot, so renting and downloading is the most practical option for me.
