[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breed4522:
Complete noob here but I finally Rooted my phone. I tested PAC Rom, CM 10.2, and then Carbon Rom and each time I get the same issues. My Wifi and Bluetooth don't work, doesn't even scan for signals or devices. I have no audio sound, nothing at all. I can't receive calls without it FC but I can make them, however, its difficult to do because the dialer seems to freeze up when dialing and calls will fade in and out. Each Rom seems to be the same. Cant seem to find any device specific info so if anyone can help I would appreciate it. Thank you

Incase anyone wants to know. The issue was because I was running 4.4 when I installed a Rom for 4.3. Just flashed factory settings for 4.3 and installed the rom after that. Works great now.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SchpidermaN:
Hi,

I own the S4 Google Edition (9505g) and in the last few days the battery started to drain way faster than it used to be.

I didn't installed any new apps nor changed any configurations whatsoever. Also, I did not see any system update which was installed.

The installed battery monitor app shows the regular usage, but the the battery just drains way fasted than it was before.

Any outputs or advice?

Thanks

I've noticed this too. I recently swapped from an i337 to the gt-i9505g. Battery has been amazing, but in the past couple days it's been draining like it's on fire. I dug deep and found that "Android OS" had a 4+ hour wakelock. Rebooted and so far no wakelocks, and battery seems to be back to normal.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SchpidermaN:
Tried rebooting the device numerous times and deactivate any background processes, so far so bad. :(
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toastido:
Mine updated to KitKat (4.4) yesterday and I'm still good on battery life. Perhaps you should check out better battery stats?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SchpidermaN:
Just received the KitKat update message, will update the damn thing later on today.

In the mean while, the drain carries on. Installed GSam monitor, seems like I'm having lots of wakelocks, and the built-in messaging app is sucking quite a lot of juice even though I'm not a heavy user.

Any further advice how to deal with it?

How long does it take for your battery to drain, on an average use?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toastido:
I replaced stock messaging app with textra.. As for battery life I can usually get about 4 hours of screen time, b but on light use days I was getting about 20 hours or so. Haven't been on kitkat long enough to know, but battery life SEEMS better than it was. Fwiw in using art on 4.4 instead of dalvik.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SchpidermaN:
Great.

I got 8SMS installed but disabled and I just got the call that KitKat was rolled out and ready to be installed. Will install it later and try to replace the stock messaging with 8SMS, perhaps that would help the phone to act better.

Do you happen to know if the ES File explorer still works with KitKat (allowing to create folders on the SD card)?

Thanks

Hello

Tried searching but no answers, so i will pose this question.

Normally the phone 'comes on' when you insert/remove SD card but for the past couple of days my EXEC soft resets itself whenever i insert SD card. Any thoughts please??

Thanks

PS I have a 1GB 'K-Data' branded SD card which i have been using for 3 months now, without any problems.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Have you checked if there's anything in the 2577 folder on the SD card?

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] l6cum:
dont use a 2577 folder on SD card, and also its Intermittant!!!!

on monday the battery was at 20% so put it down to power as after i charged the battery it was ok but today battery is at 42%..

Hello, I'm a web developer and I found that some Xperia devices work different than the rest of Android and iOS browsers. I need the original Browser.apk from Xperia to install in my android AVD but everything I tried failed due to certificates or whatever.

Can someone take the apk and compile it to install on any device? Thanks in advance.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eoinoc79:
Hi,

my phone (XT890 EU version running JB 4.1.2) is stuck at the Motorola logo when booting up. A couple of days ago,it started acting sluggish and would power itself down. It would take much longer than normal to boot up and then yesterday it got stuck on the M logo.

I have tried wiping the cache and doing a factory restore through Recover via the fastboot option,but still no success.

The bootloader is not unlocked.

I have tired flashing through RSD but with both ROMs (EU & GB) abort during the flashing process at step 8 of 12.

The error message reads:

Flashing process failed 8/12 flash system "sytem_signed" -> phone returned

The two JB roms i used were: CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-29_S7_USASMIJBRTGB.xml and CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-26_S7_USASMIJBRTEU.xml.

I also tried to flash a smaller ROM (57mb) through SD card when in Recovery mode (Blur_Version.81.5.31006.XT890.Retail.en.EU), but it craps out during install.

Will another ROM work or is it totally screwed?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hashmutz:
Have you tried wiping system and dalvik cache before installing any of the ROMs you mentioned above?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eoinoc79:
Yes I have done both but only 1 time before trying to flash.

Should i have wiped again before trying to flash another ROM?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hashmutz:
Well, I always wipe system and dalvik because old system files may conflict with the new ROM you're installing and getting your phone not to boot, so you should have wiped it before installing ROMs. If you wouldn't like to lose anything while installing a ROM do a nandroid backup and if something goes wrong you can solve it with a simple restore.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eoinoc79:
I did another cache wipe and factory restore and tried to flash again but RSD failed at same point again.

the phone said the following during flashing.......

fastboot reason: reboot to bootloader

fastboot: max download size: 100mb

USB connected

Downloading....

Flashing boot....

Downloading...

Flashing recovery.....

Downloading...

Flashing motobp...

Motobp image flashed

Downloading...

Fastboot command failed
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hashmutz:
Can you unlock your bootloader? Because you may be getting error because the file is larger than 100mb.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eoinoc79:
No I cant unlock it. It was unlocked on ICS but after I took the OTA JB update, it locked it again. I have tried to unlock it through the Motorola site but it tells me my device cant be unlocked :(
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hashmutz:
Does it show the red M unlocked logo at start up?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eoinoc79:
just a red M,no lock or unlock symbol
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hashmutz:
I'm almost sure it's caused by the locked bootloader..., I guess you should keep trying to unlock it.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cupioscire:
Yes, I also think so and it seems that the moto unlock site is kind of buggy, I needed 4 tries to get the unlock code.

Hello, i dont speak english... translate please xD

Si borras la linea de comando del archivo XML, te permite instalar el sistema (incompleto...)

Tengo el mismo problema, y puedo instalar JB -> luego instalar KITKAT pero todo sin bandabase.

no he encontrado ninguna solución aún.

mmm i have the same problem, but, i erase the comand, "<step operation="flash" partition="motobp" filename="motobp" MD5="30aed3a6217273b8c681dce7a92270f4"/>" and then, i have razr without baseband..

i tried whit, bootloader lock and unlock, and the result is the same.

eso.

bypasses the locked bootloader. Same thing was done for our LG G2 so we can install custom recoveries and rom.

But this is the G2 forum
[G2 General] wolfgart:
Ok bro, but as you know, G Flex section has not yet been created !

We have made a lot of request to create it :(
[G2 General] joshuadjohnson22:
I understand I have been in that boat a lot with the S4 Active and the G Pad 8.3 but I have seen mods close threads like this before. Not all mods are the same but some are. It doesn't bother me because I understand it and for a while the mods allowed us to post in the S4 section. Good luck, I hope your development will take off. Keep in mind if AT&T adds the flex (like they are rumored to) that will probably get their attention.
[G2 General] player911:
I think it creates confusion. Posting about a Rom dump that may help achieve new features is one thing... posting news, reviews, unboxings, etc is another.

Thanks! Do you have a method to root the phone? (I don't want to use vroot as its label unsafe)

Let me know Thanks!
[G2 General] wolfgart:
Bro, you can safely first root using vroot, then you download clockworkmod superuser from playstore, launch it, update binary, then download Titanium backup (full version) , from Recents apps close all open , launch titanium , freeze Vroot , relaunch clockworkmod superuser and reupdate binary , reboot device , and finally remove vroot from Titanium

Just completed the update. So far, so good.

Some minor (but nice) visual enhancements, speed is at least as good as before, nothing to complain about but nothing groundbreaking (but nobody was expecting that from 4.3).

Can't post a screeshot right now but baseband is mk5 and kernel is 3.0.31-2140838

I updated with kies and I'm with Rogers.

I haven't done a factory reset (like I usually do after a major update) but the responsiveness of my phone makes me believe it may not be necessary. Time will tell.

Hi, I am running my s3 i747m fido on Quantum Rom V3 RC3 kitkat 4.4. I was wondering can i flash the Fido baseband using recovery. (I have Clockwork Mod for my recovery screen). Or do I need to go back to stock to do this first?

The files on sammobile are full firmware files, which include bootloader, modem etc. You can use kies or odin to flash them but i don't think you can through cwm.

Use whatever firmware you got with the phone. Rogers would come with Rogers.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] entheogenx:

Because I am not too familiar with Odin, If I go back to stock and install the 4.3 firmware via OTA then root the phone and install Quantum Rom will the firmware still be updated? Sorry if it is a newb questions.

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this. I am on telus. I had to upgrade through kies to 4.3. Everything was fine for the first week. I did a factory wipe and reset. After that, I lost access to my carrier network. The phone was unlocked prior to this. I was able to use other network sim cards. I had a Virgin sim in the phone at the time. Now, it doesn't matter what sim I use, I get unregistered sim, or emergency call only. I try to go to network settings and it asked to insert sim card. I did a factory reset several times and still comes up the same. My IMEI number is fine, my cell number shows up fine. I just tried the steps here to root the phone and installed the new modem firmware. I still can't use the phone. My wifi works fine.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DexedrineXR:
Look at your running processes. In Linux, it runs as a deep background daemon during the boot up process. Download an app called "Disable Services" and look at the android system itself.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice

Just because an carrier IQ detector app doesn't pick it up, doesn't mean it's still not there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] forevergone:
I know this might sound like a stupid question, but these root methods are for STOCK roms, right? If I have an unrooted version of 4.3, I can follow these instructions to root my phone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DexedrineXR:
Yes, right after you root it with chainfire's auto-root, after it's done it's magic boot it back up into download mode before your phone restarts itself and flash a custom recovery like clockworkmod. Then boot into recovery after and flash this zip:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2365214&d=1383345163

That will remove Samsung knox, allowing you to keep root.

Start your phone up and update Supersu from the market before you open it up.
