[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rarsura11:
Hi! I'm kinda new so if the topic was disscused give me a link if not help me a bit. Basically the camera isn't focusing the long distance photos they are all blurry and no definition what so ever , and when i slowly bring the phone closer the object is getting more and more accurate but to a certaine point then becomes blurry again and in all these time the auto focusing isnt working. And i tried most of the solutions like: reseting all camera options, turning on anti- shake mode , taping on the screen to focus, turn on autofocus, turn on macro , changing resolution , changing metering ... bassicaly all the options avabile and i want to know if it can be fixed by any software way or by factory reseting the phone. If is not clear enough i'll come back with some sample pictures and more explications.

Thanks alot! and sorry for my grammar mistakes ;)

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] flyinjoe13:
Not sure which forum this should be in so i'm asking it here. Apparently, I can't activate my new sim card for the 4G unless i'm stock, unrooted, locked bootloader. I guess I jumped the gun after I got my phone, but before I got the sim card and rooted, unlocked, etc. I think I know the steps to take to get it back to compltely stock, but I want to make sure.

I think I need to run the script and relock the bootloader, then flash the stock RUU file.

Is that correct? Is that the correct order? Am I missing any steps?

Thanks a bunch for any speedy repsonses because i'm in a bind right now and have to get this resolved by morning.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
I'm pretty sure being unrooted is not a requirement. Just install this ROM and boot the phone with your SIM inserted. It should activate fine.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] flyinjoe13:
OK. I will try that because I am having a heck of a time getting activated on my CM rom. Even had a Verizon tech trying to help me for over an hour.

I see that ROM requires me to flash a new boot.img. When I rooted, the directions said to flash dirtyracuns Hboot. Will flashing this one effect anything? If I change ROMs, do I need to flash DR hboot again?

Thanks for the info...
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
Boot and HBoot are two very different things. Flashing different boot images will not affect your engineered hboot.

You definitely don't want to talk to vzw reps if you're running cm. The more tech support requests they get from users running non-official builds, the less likely they will be to ever allow phones with unlocked bootloaders on their system.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] flyinjoe13:
Turns out my problem was from a borked radio. Being new to this, I didn't even know that could happen. Saw mention of it in another thread when I was just browsing around. Thought maybe that might be my problem so I followed the directions for fixing a borked radio and got connected right away. Boy this forum is helpful. Thank you.

BTW, what is the best network setting to use if I am in the US only, Global, LTE\CDMA or GSM\UMTS?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] pmcall:
LTE/CDMA should be fine
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] tj13:
simlar problem

I am having a similar activation problem. What did you do to fix the radio? My problem started a few days ago.

I found the RUU for just the radio and applied it. No change. I get a LTE signal but the phone doesn't know it's own number and thinks it is roaming.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] flyinjoe13:
I followed the steps in this thread to restore my radio: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=45476579#post45476579

Unfortunately, I never was able to get the radio to work with any of the CM based ROMs so I have ended up using a stock based ROM. ViperLTE. It is an excellent ROM and works great, but I got the phone recently so that I could run CM ROMs. Had I known I was going to have so many problems, I would have waited until February when my upgrade date came up and got one of the newer phones. I guess I still can, but I'd hate to waste the money I paid for this phone so soon.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] tj13:
sim issue

Turns out my SIM was actually bad. When you looked in the about, the SIM id number didn't show up. It had worked under 10.2 stable for several weeks before it stopped working. It had gotten worse over a week or so. At first a reboot would fix it. I did a clean flash of CM 11 at this point. After replacing the SIM the id number showed up but still couldn't make calls.

The problem went away after restoring a CM 10.2 back that had worked. I then did a dirty flash of CM 11 over it, with the kit kat gapps. It all worked out fine. I am speculating that a clean flash of CM 11, might not work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] exopforce:
Ok, So i had a galaxy note 2 before and the phone was way to big for me. It was pretty annoying bringing that big phone to the bar. So I purchase a S4. I did some research and tryed to use terminal emulator but it was block by the new security software that the s4 comes with... So I found this video on youtube and it actually worked. I take no credit what so every for this i just found it and would like to share it .

1) Install all Samsung Drivers

2) Put the phone into Debuging mode. Make sure you plug it into the computer and make sure you allow the computer to debug the phone. A pop up usually comes on the phone make sure to check ALways for this computer and hit agree and ok

3) Go to link deleted by VECTUS /vroot and download the root software if your using google chrome the page is easily translated.

4) Install the software to your computer and run it

5) Hit the root button and thats it

I'm on windows 8.1 and it work for me so it should work for anyone because 8.1 sucks

AGAIN: I did not figure this out I am just sharing thanks

For goodness sakes please read BEFORE (I suggest starting with XDA rules) you post such things, and in the wrong place no less...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] coma73:
i wanted to try the new cm 11 but needed to install cwm and i had twrp. all i read ssaid i could just flash it over top twrp, i did so and have been stuck at samsung loop. im not sure what to do, tried using odin to restore and now im lost. i dont know if i lost root or what but i have no custom recovery after trying to use odin to flash atwrp. i managed to get cwm to install originally but couldnt flash any roms or boot. i was running jelly beans latest build. any help would be great, ive rooted all my pphones but this note 2 gives me nothing but trouble.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidx2.3.3:
You flashed the ROM on twrp or you flashed CWM on twrp? Can you get into download mode? Also,this sounds dumb,but are you holding volume up, home, and power to try and boot into recovery? And download mode is volume down , home, and power.

i flashed cwm using twrp. ya i know about the buttons. i can only get into download mode. i had something like this happen before but ill be damned if i know how to fix it. the info for the note 2 is a mess. every site references the same pages and those pages are confusing to me. i have dyslexia and it gets hard for me to grasp at times.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidx2.3.3:
OK. I went through this on my s3 (same process on the note 2). It sounds like you will need to "Odin" back to stock since something got messed up. And it may have been something not of your doing. I will try and find you the thread on how to do this. What I do is read the thread a few times then write down what the steps are so I can look at that instead of swapping pages on the computer. I will try and post the link in a minute.

This should help you out. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask. Just a note (no pun intended) this will make you start over completely. It will be like your pulling your phone out of the box for the first time. So I would hope that any backups you had are on the external SD card and I highly suggest you backup the SD card before starting anything. Here's the link.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] dave106:
See if you can get into the bootloader. With the phone off, hold down camera and plug in the usb sync cable until the screen comes up. Then you can use flash a new rom to it. Unfortunately the only install package avaliable for the charmer is the wwe english version so your stuck with that unless you can find a german sd backup to flash afterwards. you'll probably need to use Wizard_RomUpgradeUtility_noID first to install it.

I have the 2ndbootin thing, the stock moto recovery, and never ending boot animation. If I wipe the cache using the moto recovery, I can get it past the boot loop and then it gets stuck in "android is upgrading". I figured I can flash a custom recovery using RSD, the problem is I don't know, and googling the problem didn't came up with useful solutions.

Install the stock SBF using RSD, root, install 2ndinit, install CM10, install CM10.2, install the updaterecovery.zip package, reboot (don't wipe), then install CM11 and Gapps. It worked for me, it worked for other defy users, it will work for you. ;)

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leandrolutz:
The defy doesn't really brick, because the bootloader is locked.

It may be no charge in the battery...

You need to use an external charger, or McGyver method, because the defy won't charge by the usb or wall charger...

After you make it, try RSD again, and choose the right SBF, from your carrier.

It depends on what you carry around with you. I usually just go from home to work and back home, so i can charge either at home or at the office.But when I go on business trips I usually have my laptop bag, so I use a portable battery pack.

I've been using this one for a few weeks and it works really well, it'll charge your phone at least twice.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Hindo2:
What phone do you have? Does it have a built-in battery (like iPhone) or a changeable battery(e.g. Samsung)?

If your phone has changeable battery, you can actually have another one if you like. It costs less than $15 from a third party.

If you own an iPhone type, an external battery charger or a battery case would be the only way. I personally prefer an external one since the battery case adds too much weight and destroy the sensational design the phone has. And as you said, they charge a lot due to an exquisite workmanship. Otterbox is the leading brand in this type of case, they provide waterproof, dustproof cases which is awesome if you are a backpacker. Their price is therefore pretty high(over $70).

Another option is to get an external battery charger, which is what I'm doing. I have an iPhone 4S and I have a RavPower 14000mAh external battery charger. I choose this brand because they have a reasonable price and a few of my friends has introduced it to me.

There're some other high-end brands in this like Mophie, Mipow, they sell $15 more than the one I have. So if you prefer a luxury one, you may consider theirs.

I think you can get all of those batteries from amazon.
