[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sevenlions:
Hello XDA,

I'm not sure how this happened, but for the past couple of months I haven't been able to charge my phone while it is turned on. It shows the charging animation but the battery still drains, even with all radios off and screen off. I can leave it charging all night and end up with a nearly flat battery. Plugging it in to any wall socket seems to only slow the draining, and plugging it in to a fully powered USB socket (many tried) keeps it at the same battery level, or very slowly charges it if I don't use it. If I turn it off however, I can charge it until full in the normal time with the original AC charger.

Here's the really strange part: I've tried several new chargers of different brands including samsung and it makes no difference. Not only that, but they won't charge it when powered off either making them completely ineffective. It doesn't initialize the charge properly - the screen either shows a battery with a progress circle over and over again without getting to the charging animation, or displays the charging animation over and over and never charges at all, but nevertheless gets hot.

The chargers I've tried are:

Cygnet for samsung phones including SGS-II

Belkin for Samsung phones including SGS-II

Premium blackberry travel charger

Premium 10W 2A Samsung travel adaptor

One charger that did seem to work while plugged in was from a new Sony Xperia Windows phone charger I borrowed once.

I've exchanged at the store 3 times now with the same result! It must be something wrong with the hardware or software...

I've calibrated the battery, I've had a new battery for a couple of months and normally still lasts all day and more on a full charge. It is a 3rd party high quality Anker battery. The problem is the battery is getting a lot more taxed now that I'm using 3G over the portable hotspot, so its not quite lasting the day anymore.

I've had countless custom ROMs on there now, current ROM is CyanogenMod 10.1 stable. Would returning to stock then reinstalling help?

Something that shouldn't matter is I've moved from the UK to Australia. I'm still using the English charger as its the only one that works. And the Xperia charger that seemed to work was Australian too.

Before it got this bad I think it was getting slower and slower to charge. I had to replace the old USB cable that eventually got really loose, then broke and i've tried several new ones with no improvement in charging ability. Is it possible that the contacts inside the micro-USB socket might have been bent from the old cable moving around so much so that only minimal contact is achieved with any other cable? The new connectors do seem to fit perfectly.

In the attached screenshot, you will see on the left the AC charger is plugged in while battery level goes down, then on the far right its plugged in to a computer and is kept level.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

IMO, u should revert back to a stock samsung Firmware (pertained to ur region) and then see if the issue persists or not to rule out any possible 'Software issue' in the first place :)

I have a weird issue. No idea why it happens.

Sometimes, and this only happens sometimes.

When I turn off the phone, take the battery out, re-insert the sim card and then put the battery back and try to start it, nothing happens.

If I plug it into the USB charger, it goes to the battery indicator and vibrates once and then keeps doing it over and over again.

If I take the battery out again and re-insert it, it works again.

Any idea why this is happening?

Please see the video

Thanks

Just want to ask if facebook notification on gg still doesnt show. I mean I get the notofication but when I clicked it it tells me to view it on my phone. Any work around to have ot viewed on the gg
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] richlum:
It shows the contents of the notification for me...

Have you updated the GG firmware and the Gear Manager software on the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Well, notifications only show whatever you see in the notification dropdown of your device

If you are using v1.5+ of gear manager, you can add facebook as an app for notificaitons

Otherwise you have to make do with FBQuickview from the Samsung App store
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jhobert:
How do I check if o have the correct fw or how to have the right one ifni dont have it
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jhobert:
This is what comes up on my notification every time somebody send me a msg on facebook or post.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] richlum:
Look in the thread titled Official update to Gear Nov 15th

If your phone and gear don't find the update. look in the official ROM thread and download and install it manually.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jhobert:
Thanks. Ill look into it.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] so3:
I had to send my compact away for repair to HTC Europe based in Milton Keynes? It has now come pact but when I use the camera it always starts in landscape mode and I can't see to change or find a setting to change it to portait!

Is the a simple reg edit to sort it out or do I need to upgrade the camera rom?

Thanks in advance for any help, please respond.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] GKill:
The latest camera software update has this feature. Maybe they have flashed your device with latest ROM, and camera became landscape only... This is one way to "correct" it - install the old version of CameraWizard.cab (search it in this site). But remember: your current ROM is the latest new! If it works great, better don't touch it! :wink:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] littld:
Easy

If you press the Contacts button (left of the D-Pad), it will switch between the different angles.

Personally I've started getting used to the landscape view, but I use this to change sometimes.

If you want to go back to the old camera, it's still there on the new rom, but you have to do hard reset and stop the TMobile customizations. Search on the forum for full instructions on how to do this.

I bought a verizon note 2, which usually has the verizon logo on the home button, but on the one I bought it doesn't have it. But on the back it says verizon 4G LTE and such...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
Sounds like it might be an international version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drarkanex:
The back can be changed..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Hälftebyte:
It can be Verizon. Based on the pics in the listing the phone is not counterfeit. Plus the seller looks legit. As to whether it's Verizon you will need to check deeper.

My Verizon Note 2 /SCH-I605 has a Sprint screen and therefore doesn't have the Verizon logo on the home button. Also as someone else has said the battery cover can be changed easily. The proper way to check to is to go to Settings > About Phone > and look at Device name.

Since that is simply a build prop print out the best way to check is to go into Download mode and there you will see Product Name.

To go into Download mode, turn off the phone, then press and hold the volume down and home button. Then while holding those buttons power on the phone. You should now see a screen with green text. Press the volume up button to continue. There you will see Product Name. Tell us what's there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
If you send a phone in for repair and they replace the screen as part of the repair, they also get rid of the VZW logo on the home button from what I've read.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DX.Deception:
If the about phone section shows SCH-I605 then i would say that it is a VZW Note II that has had the screen replaced. :D

Install any d2spr rom most support the d2tfnspr model

The d2spr version of Cyangenmod supports the d2tfnspr version. The Tracfone/StraightTalk Galaxy S3 (SCH-S960L) is a Sprint (SPH-L710) variant.

Here is the link to the Cyangenmod Builds for the d2spr

On my Note 3, if the phone is in vibrate with the headphones plugged in I dont get the notification sound. I was told it was supposed to do play the notification through the headphones. Any ideas.

It does play the notification through the headphones when the sound is on.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bskarpa:
If ur ringtone is set to vibrant or silence it won't have any notification sound. Kinda the whole point of being on vibe. You can bump ur ringtone up one level past vibe with the side volume rocker and then use ur notifications volume that way. That would be the easiest way lol. Someone smarter may know better than I, I'm sure. Hope that helped

When I tapped the charger NFC to my I9505G (Google Edition S4) it downloaded the Gear Manager Stub and setup the device without issue.

The problem I'm having is when my Gear is connected it seems to screw up the Physical Keyboard. I lose access to the keyboard in all my other apps. In Language & Input my Physical Keyboard is listed as SA_MUSIC_REMOTE_CONTROL

((UPDATE))

Easy Fix - Just Turned Off Physical Keyboard , appears it was trying to use the GG as a keyboard via Bluetooth. All is well. Working with very little pain on the Google Edition S4.

Now I just need to see if I can find the Weather Widget and Pedometer

Hi ksujace,

I'm in a similar boat as you in that I have the same devices. Thanks for the tip on turning off the physical keyboard, that is a huge help. I'd love any ideas you have about improving the rest of the outstanding issues (pedometer, weather, etc). If you've learned anything new, would greatly appreciate your insight.

Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] sweet6s:
I know there are other posts that ask that question but nothing recent. So...

Here is what I have:

Verizon - w/unlimited data

HTC Rezound - unlocked, rooted, ROM'd, NO S-off

The Portable Wi-Fi hotspot function of my phone is working flawlessly right now. That is very important. I would appreciate any suggestions for a new phone. It doesn't have to be something currently out. It could be something coming down the road.

There are three requirements:

I must be able to enable the Portable Wi-Fi hotspot, and (able to enable, funny)

Acquiring this phone must not affect my unlimited data plan at Verizon, and

It must an Android phone

If anyone has recommendations concerning upgrading your phone at Verizon without jeopardizing an unlimited plan please add that as well.

Thank you in advance for reading my request.
[General Questions and Answers] PradeepMurugan:
your budget?
[General Questions and Answers] Trozzul:
i dont think verizon does unlimited plans anymore. but if your fine with rooting a phone that your going to use for phone purposes you can wifi tether for free i think any phone would be fine for you, gonna be maybe a little more specific on what you want. i mean like screen size, battery life, Cpu.
[General Questions and Answers] sweet6s:
Oh, pretty much what ever it n3eeds to be. You know how it is. If it has to be had then I'll get it. Thanks...
[General Questions and Answers] sweet6s:
I have an unlimited data plan. I am grandfathered in to it. Believe me, they would love to get that from me (and everyone else that has one). It's a matter of being very careful about what changes are made to your plan or phone as they are always looking for a way to screw ya out of it.

So, the requirements I mentioned above are still good. I need a new phone that I can root and enable the native Portable Wi-Fi hotspot so as to utilize my unlimited data plan. And, beyond that, if you or anyone else has any inside information, a new phone that wont require me to change my plan or otherwise jeopardize my current plan with unlimited data.

As for budget, it doesn't really matter. I can get what I need to get.

Thanks for the post...

hmmm you might have to do a bunch of research into it then.

My Phone is Galaxy S4:

On mobile network only my Gmail app was not syncing automatically, gmaps was slow, youtube was not working or really slow and Calendar wasn't syncing either.

After looking on the internet I was not able to find the solution. I have tried everything that was simple like clear cache, reboot, sync OFF/ON ...

Solution:

I tried the APN reset solution: Setting/more network/mobile network/Access point name/ reset to default. I did it and also I have found that google services had the check mark ON for restrict background data. Setting/data usage/google services

I have never touched this option before so I don't know why it was checked. After these two steps my phone works perfectly now.

I hope this could help someone..

Thank you

Can you obtain GPS location (lat/long) from a TomTom 500 via bluetooth to the Universal?

My thoughts are to use the Tom Tom like a normal GPS device for when I am driving (SDIO/bt GPS for the phone not really wanted at the mo, in case I get a different device later), and then to record my trips via some software (self developed if necassary) on the Universal.

TIA

I'm pretty sure lat/long feature is available in TomTom- I remember looking into that when I first installed TT on my JAM.

So you should be able to use your own software to do something with it. Perhaps there's already an app that does what you want. I remember someone else here on the forum wanting to do a similar thing.

So my phone was at full charge. Took it off the charger and ate dinner. I was not using my phone and noticed it was extremely hot. Battery was down to 40 percent in less than an hour. I reboot phone thinking it was a wake lock issue. Phone battery dies and drains to 0 percent. I had to plug it into a charger in order to turn it on. From here I notice that the phone gets extremely hot and charges extremely slow. It's been charging for an hour and only 5 percent has been charged. I think maybe it was my ROM or a persisting wake lock. I wipe my phone and clean flash cyanogen. Phone still getting hot and charging extremely slow. Could I possibly have a malfunctioning battery or something?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Cares:
Woke up in the middle of the night after about 4 hours of charging. Battery was at about 40% or so but the phone was the hottest it's ever been. I decided to turn it off and unplug it from the charger. Woke up this morning and it's officially dead dead. The orange/red LED won't turn on when plugged into the charger and I can't turn it on or try to boot into recovery.

I'm going to take it to Costco and see if I can get a replacement since I'm in my 90 day period. This certainly has to be a manufacturer's defect since I did not have water damage, drop my phone, overclock, or anything risky.

Well my phone can't even turn on right now - it is literally a dead phone. I'll check one more time before trying to exchange it at Costco.

It was still running hot and charging extremely slow.

This is happening to me again right now..

I'm in luck though, as I'm on a charger and around 50%.. I went from about 100% to 11% in 20 minutes this morning. I've been running SlimKat for about a week now, and have had no issues.

I have no idea why this just pops up at a seemingly random time.

Now, I've wiped the entire phone, installed BoneStock, and it's still persisting.

What can I try to get this fixed?

I've held PWR and Vol+/- to reset the phone.. but this is still occuring.
