I have the same problem!

I am running virgin ROM as well and I was notified about the ota and I went to Download it everything was working fine until it went into the recovery I'm using TWRP and it just fails every time I downloaded the zip online and tried it and that also failed. Is it my recovery? Or will ota never work on my device since I got it from T-Mobile and I flashed the Google edition on?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gtaguitar7596:
same thing

I am running this ROM as well and I got the OTA from Google but when It went to install the update it says failed the device is not the correct one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
You will not be able to update via OTA on a cwm-flashed ROM. It's just not gonna happen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gtaguitar7596:
so cwm doesnt work either?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
Not for the OTA, no. You can't update via OTA unless you have the 9505G. Other versions of the S4 though, you have to rely on the CWM-flashable zips that various devs post. I wasn't saying you can't have the latest version, just that you can't get them direct from Google unless you have the Play Edition device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gtaguitar7596:
well after using the virgin rom 2.4.2 it says on my about phone i9505G so i thought ok i have it now awesome. but thanks for the infomation.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
Hey, I understand. If you flash an AT&T ROM it will say you have an I337m, Sprint ROM it will say L720, intl ROM it will say i9505, etc. Also, if you use the XDA app to post you will notice that the signature will change depending on what carrier's ROM you are posting from.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gtaguitar7596:
Thanks and that like you said it shows.

Hello everybody,

after spending 2 entire days searching here and all around internet, I can't do anything else but trying to open a new thread or... going to Samsung Assistance (and my warrenty is over..... .!).

Actually my GT-I9100 just can enter Download mode. If I don't enter there, he shows "Firmware problem", connect Kies in recovery, bla bla bla

I went over many different tries, my odin works good, cables and drivers are ok, changing PC is the same: no way to flash any image. I just can flash the bootloader.

The problem seems to be the NAND partition, I tried to re-partition using the 16GB original PIT file, but it just stop in the beginning and nothing happen, it seems that it's not able to re-partition it.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Search for Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread, flash the 3 part firmware linked to in that thread (might as well try the other stuff in the thread as well given the alternative you're facing). If you can't get a successful Odin flash somehow, it's probably a stuffed NAND, which means motherboard replacement or a new phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tony_m78:
...did it.... no way:(:(:(

I'll find a new motherboard somewhere :rolleyes: Hope will be easy to replace it...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Depends how confident you are working with electronics. Search for the service manuals here (they've been posted here before)/Google, pretty sure there's a runthrough of MB replacement w/pics (and a bunch of other common repairs) as well as schematics & parts lists. If it looks too hard, take the phone & the 2nd hand MB you source to a local mobile repair shop & pay them to swap the boards, will still be heaps cheaper than paying a Samsung service centre to put a new one in.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul Blake:
I got same problem half a year ago

Try to uninstall kies run odin with root rights and flash siyah(for me it is only kernel who worked to install with odin, apollo and dorimanx fails like yours) kernel ,reboot in recovery and format everything except sdcards then flash any rom you want

Lets hope that works

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
You can't 'buy' a new motherboard without paying a Samsung service centre to replace your existing one, which means they can charge you whatever they want for labour. A cheaper option is to source a 2nd hand board from a 'donor' phone online (search Google/eBay/Swappa/etc) & either swap the board yourself, or pay a local mobile repair shop (non-Samsung service centre) to do it for you, which will still be a cheaper than getting a new board installed by a service centre.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jewelkobayashi:
Hi,

I recently flashed FTF so that I have .257 firmware with root. I did not wipe data at the time...

Everything is OK, except that all the sound files found in notifications are in duplicates.

If I go into settings and try to choose a different notification sound, they are all listed in doubles.

Now, not that it matters too much to the functionality of the phone, I would still like to know how to solve it. I have looked inside system files, tried looking through root browser...

I cannot find the folder where they are contained.. I was thinking about going into that folder and deleting all the copies.

Can someone show me/tell me how to navigate there?

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
/system/media/audio/notifications
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jewelkobayashi:
thanks for the advice.

Went there, and sure enough I found them.

But in the folder, I do not see any duplicates.

It is only in duplicates in the list of sounds to be chosen from, when I go into Settings > sound > Notification sound ( under system)

Do you (or anyone) know if there is cache that needs deleting or updating?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Settings->Apps->All->Media Storage->Clear data and reboot.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jewelkobayashi:
[MENTION=655433]LordManhattan[/MENTION]... Although I am now a little wiser with the directories, unfortunately this did not solve the problem.

It cleared the list of available sounds for notifications for a little while, but it re-populated as duplicates soon after.

It leads me to conclude that there are actually 2 copies of each, but both in different places and/or directories. Using the search function in file explorers do not reveal their places either.

Really mystified... Am I the only one who ended up like this, or am I the only one who realised it, or am I the only one who cares whether there are duplicates?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I don't have duplicates, but I've had it before on my Note. I'm not sure If I did anything about it though, so I can't say I know where the duplicates are. Google "android duplicate notification sounds", and you'll see you're not the only one with this issue.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] abuihsan:
This thing happen to me on CM10.2 ROM. Have you try search 'notification' while you run the root explorer or similar explorer so if there are any double folder on different place it can be recognized.

I am curious too. I cannot make a try now as I am on rooted stock .257 which not has those problem.

Good luck!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jewelkobayashi:
I am too on rooted stock .257, used root browser to search for notifications. Tried different searches, but none have worked (meaning I couldn't find duplicates)

It feels like I have something stuck in between my teeth, and cannot get it out!:silly:

Hello all,

spending hours of searching i found a MTU-Size issue concerning ActiveSync 4.1 in combination with Tiny Personal Firewall!

The Problem: WM5-device connects to PC; IP-addresses are set up via dhcp correctly (169.254.2.1/2). But ActiveSync freezes, no synchronisation can be done.

Ethereal traces show WM2005-device connecting to pc using a max. MTU-size of 8050 Byte. The PC acknowledges the value but frames exceeding about 5000 bytes will be lost in PC.

The solution: Decrease MTU-Size. In my case a value of 4096 (0x1000) fixed the issue. You may use attached Registry setting (the magic number defines my PC´s RNDIS interface - yours will be different):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{633FC8EC-A187-4DF7-8554-E5BF23AD9B0C}]

"MTU"=dword:00001000

The long packets did not cause any problems without Tiny installed....

good luck - df2jh
[General Topics] kj:
Interesting find! I am chasing a problem with AS 4.1 that is different than yours (see http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=37039). However, I decided to investigate along your findings. I was not able to find the registry key for the device with MTU settings (I found the appropriate folder, though), I assume this would have to be added? There is a nifty and free little utility called TCPOptimizer from speedguide.net that I use to optimize internet activity. It allows you to change settings such as MTU and receive window sizes for all adapters. I tried to set a small MTU for the windows mobile adapter, but it did not work. Please look at my link above. I would appreciate any ideas you may have regarding this problem.

Thanks!

KJ
[General Topics] df2jh:
oh - thanks for the hint to TCPOptimizer, didn´t know that nice tool yet.

You are right, the MTU dword value has to be added, it won´t be there by default.

In your thread you mentioned: "... even though I made sure that the Remot-NDIS Host network adapter uses "Server assigned IP" addresses (and it shows 169.254.2.1) and pings fine...."

According to my experience Remote-NDIS Host network adapter at PDA must not set to "Server assigned IP". Instead PDA will act as a DHCP-server by itself. To fix the problem delete every entry in PDAs registry key "HKLM\Comm\RNDISFN1\Parms\TcpIp" except "EnableDHCP" and "Subnetmask".

Set them to:

EnableDHCP: 00000000

Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0

You must do it this way because disabling DHCP in network card settings requires entry of a dedicated ip address.

regards

df2jh
[General Topics] kj:
Good advice. You are correct, the _device_ should be the DHCP server, not the other way around. I tried your registry changes. Something funny first happend: first, the PC would not create a network connection (keeps trying), telling me that device was not giving the PC an IP address. I disconnected the USB cable and connected again, and an network connection was established. (this happens several times every time I connect). Pings both ways fine, but same problem with AS. However, at least the intermittent popups regarding the server IP are now gone (of course, I was able to get rid of that popup when entering IP addresses manually). I ran vxIPConfig for RndisFn1 and have the following information:

IP Address: 0.0.0.0

Subnet Mask 0.0.0.0

Default Gateway:

Primary Wins:

Secondary Wins:

Lease Obtained: DHCP Disabled

Lease Expires: DHCP Disabled

DNS Servers:

Node Type: Hybrid

IP Routing: No

Wins Proxy: No

NetBIOS Scope ID:

NetBIOS Resolution Uses DNS: No

Does this look correct to you?

Another thing I noticed was that I have two USB ports on my PC (laptop). With device connected, I get a network connection called "Local Area Connection xx", where xx is some integer. If I look at its properties, I see that, in the General tab, it says "Connect Using Windows Mobile-based Device #n", where n is also an integer. In my case xx is either 19 or 20, depending on which USB plug on the PC I use and n is either 3 or 5, also depending which USB plug on the PC I use. Hence, there are two LAN connections established, one for each USB plug. Would this also be an issue?

KJ
[General Topics] df2jh:
Yes, if you plug your device into a different USB-Port iw will create a new "Windows Mobile-based device" and a new local area connection.

I don´t know vxIPConfig but MyIpConfig shows IP address 169.254.2.1 as long as i am connected.

regards

Jochen
[General Topics] kj:
Do you know if the fact there are two connections set up that it may cause such issues? Also, if you have MyIPConfig, I can install it and see if it registers the same values.

Thanks!

KJ
[General Topics] df2jh:
No, setup of two ore more connections will not be a problem using ActiveSync. Of cource you must use only a single connection (i.e. USB port) at a time to synchronize a single PDA ;-)

MyIpConfig can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/myipconfig

regards

df2jh
[General Topics] kj:
Thanks for the link. Does MyIPConfig work with WM5?

KJ
[General Topics] df2jh:
Yes it does!
[General Topics] kj:
Just tried MyIPConfig. Yes, it registers same IP as you do (169.254.2.1). Hmmmm.... Not sure where to go from here....

Hi!

So I'm using my i9505 with FoxHound 3.2. It runs perfect and I'm running ondemand OC at 2.1ghz and GPU at 540 mhz. It scales as it should, and most games and emulators works just fine.. However, I often use Hangouts video call. This generates enormeous heat!! I can almost burn my fingers on my upper screen..

TLTR: Is there a way to make it so that the Hangouts app don't use more than for example 1ghz?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoroSwaggin:
As the title suggests, my HTC One is using And. Rev. HD 31.6 Sense 5.5. All of the comments suggest this ROM is one of the best Sense roms, with crazy battery, fast, etc, but my experience has been very poor. ARHD 31.6 is very bug-free, but for some reason it drains battery incredibly fast. With the stock Tmo rom, i get a full day, with constant text and some gaming, LTE on with 30-50% left when i got home. With ARHD, same usage, even less gaming, the phone gets to 50% at noon, and it gets very, very hot (like those first-gen LTE phones) when i game, have LTE on or just using the browser. On stock, it never has these problems, but I don't want to go back because the bugs in stock seem minor but irritates me so much.

Am I doing something wrong? I have TWRP 2.6.3.3 installed with fastboot, then downloaded the zip for ARHD and flashed with TWRP.

EDIT: also, ARHD lags at times. Lockscreen, scrolling, etc. Disappears after 1-2 seconds but reappears randomly or when I turn phone on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DorkyDev:
Is there a real difference? I thought I read somewhere that somebody got optimal battery life and performance by running GB over JB.

Is this true?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 440bro:
I believe it. Newer versions of Android have cool new stuff. Unfortunately cool new stuff runs in the background. So an older version of Android may have less stuff running in the background.

However we have some pretty cool devs that can cook up some smooth roms and may increase battery life.

I myself think it all depends on the user. How many apps or tasks running depends on you. Also using dark or black themes can greatly help improve battery life. The screen on my phone with a solid white picture can be on for 4 hours. Where it can stay on for 8 hours displaying a black picture. Also cell signal matters. A slow weak signal drains faster. Being on Wi-Fi helps.

There's just Soooo many factors to consider!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DorkyDev:
Yea I know that much is very true, just when I had a Note I didn't have a chance to try out the 2 firmwares to see which one worked longer and better so I could tell whether JB really was a improvement or a glorified enhancement.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mv1luv:
Invest in a backup battery and carry it in your lunch box or whatever. Run jellybeans. It's worth it, then over clock and under volt.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DorkyDev:
Yea I've got a ebay buy it now auction saved for a generic 5400mah battery and a official mugen 5400mah battery back cover...

I won my mom a Note for 140 for christmas, she's 66 and has carpel tunnel syndrome and even had surgery on her wrists and had something done where they clip the veins and arteries and then reattach them. Had a crudy lil lg dynamic and a resistive touchscreen loved android but the soft screen wouldn't cooperate with the way she touched it, that and she even said it was too small and needed something like my note 2 with the bigger screen and buttons.

Next up on the list is to create a simple one or two paged dumbed down minimalistic theme that's lockable and can't have the widgets rearranged accidentally by hard slip of the hand(Sometimes she presses things too hard or not hard enough, barely any feeling in her fingers at all), then load the local grocery, drug and retail store app's on it a couple receipt app's qvc, shophq and hsn on it for her too.
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] kulboyfz:
Here are some tips to increase the battery life of our galaxy core

Requirements-

1.Rooted galaxy core

2.Link2SD(download from google play)

Steps-

1.I noticed that the display used the most % of battery. Then I found out it was because of Touchwiz launcher.

so first thing you should is use a different launcher, eg. HOLO, Nova, Apex

After installing the launcher open link2sd and freeze TouchWiz Home(optional)

2.there are some apps which we don't use and which consume a lot of juice, so use link2sd n freeze them

here's the list of apps-

1.Clock(digital)

2.Clock(funky)

3.Clock(modern)

4.Dual clock(analogue)

5.Dual clock(digital)

6.Favourite Apps

7.Game Hub

8.Music Player(optional)(the default music player uses a lot of battery, if you use other music players the freeze this, otherwise leave it)

9.PageBuddyNotiSvc

10.Samsung Apps

11.Simple Alarm Clock

12.Yahoo! Finance

13.Yahoo! News

Do all these n see if you notice the difference..:cowboy:

[Samsung Galaxy Core.] omaroe666:
does this speed my phone up to ? need to know for testing purposes :)
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] kulboyfz:
Well It does... The apps I listed use 2-3mb ram each, so if you freeze them more ram will be available which will make your phone faster.

if you want performance over style then install SickSky launcher(free on play store).
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] omaroe666:
yeah i used it and if i use super task killer it will give 400-450 instead of 300-340 ;o HUGE differents!

I now use apex launcher with a galaxy s4 theme looks almost 100% like Real touchwiz. but the one thing that bothers me is that is no labels under the dock icons can i add labels to dock icons on apex ?

GOOD GUIDE BTW!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] situ1962:
To freeze system apps you neither need root nor any app like Link2sd.All non essential apps can be disabled from application manager itself.Just go to settings/application manager/all and click the app you want to disable and then simply click on disable.To enable just click on enable to enable it again.

15. Email

16. Gmail

17. Google Play Newsstand

18. Help
