[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PinoPano:
I hope someone can help explain my S4's odd behavior. I'll try to be brief but give enough details for the experts to get an idea.

- The phone discharges to about 30% and then either turns off or starts to bootloop or just behaves weirdly by closing processes and apps making it unusable

- Once fully charged, it'll finally boot again almost normally but first I have to go into recovery and wipe partition and after various attempts it'll finally boot. Its behavior will be normal and everything will function perfectly well until it goes back down to about 30% charge again

- There are 2 things to rule-out: battery and rom. The battery is brand new and 100% original because I've already changed it thinking that it was the culprit. I'm currently using AOSP 4.4 rom but the behavior is the same with any rom even stock roms

- I can't get it serviced because thanks to the new bootloader my warranty is void

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
USB board/port. Replace it first. Given it's quick/cheap/easy to do on the S2, I think you'll find it's the same on the S4. Search online & here for details/the service manuals which might be useful. You could also pay a local mobile repair shop to do it, but why pay them 3-5x (or more) what the part costs in labour to do it when you can do it yourself ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PinoPano:
Thanks! Will try that and will def do it myself:good:. Am pretty familiar with hardware. I too think at this stage that it's a hardware issue
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PinoPano:
Just out of curiosity, why do you think it's the usb port? I have to say that it crossed my mind once as well because on a few rare occasions I had problems charging my phone as if the usb cable or port was defective. My PC at times has also had problems recognizing my galaxy when plugged in, but only very rarely so I didn't make much of it
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
The charging issues you've had, another battery not solving those issues, and the auto shutdowns/auto bootloops for no reason have always been symptomatic of the USB board/port on the fritz on the S2 and the S3 (saw so many of these in S2 Q&A this year particularly), just sounds a lot like it. Put it this way, if it's not, it's something much worse hardware-wise, but I think you'll find the easy fix will resolve it in this case.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maliacrete:
Good morning. I have a HTC One on 4.3 stock. After the 4.3 update I have noticed the following which I believe is a Bug.

If:

a) open gallery then

b) press share

c) choose the app to share (Whatsup/gmail/exchange mail)

d) Choose the photo(s) you want to share

then you expect the app you choose to share the photos with to open, but nothing happens. The gallery turns off as if the app (whatsup/gmeil etc) will start but then the phone returns to the gallery. The photos you have chosen to share are still there, the system returns to above point a).

Same Bug when:

a) open gmail/exchange email

b) open new email

c) press attach a picture

d) gallery opens

e) choose a picture

f) nothing happens.

the gallery will bring up a "please wait" and then it will return to its normal state (main gallery). Whats up working fine if you try to send a photo by using the app itself. Tango is same problem as gmail/echange email.

Anyone any idea?

Hi there.

I am wanting to sell my XDAIIi, complete with TomTom Navigator 5 and my TomTom MKII SIRFIII Bluetooth GPS Receiver.

I am looking for £250 for the lot.

The XDAIIi is in mint condition. No scratches either on the case or the screen. Comes with all the bits. I.e. box, manual, cradle, charger, cables, battery ect. Also a aluminium hard case with slots for spare SD/MMC Cards. As I said, it's in perfect condition plainly because it's been in the metal case all it's life. I have hardly ever used it for it's PDA functions, hence this is why i am selling it. I have upgraded it's ROM to the latest version from the o2 website.

Another thing to mention, it is unlocked using the natty tool from this website.

Also, the TomTom Navigator 5 comes with all the discs that I bought from TomTom.com I have only registered TomTom on the XDAIIi that I am selling so it will work fine. Comes complete with all the discs for europe mapping + the application disc, manual, registration card ect.

The TomTom MKII SIRFIII Bluetooth GPS Reciever comes complete with box and all the chargers and cables.

For £250, I think it's a resonable price for something which is basically new.

If they have any questions or would like to see some pictures of any of the items.

Hope someone is interested. I would prefer to only sell it to UK People due to the high shipping costs. Unless you are willing to be a little extra to cover the costs?

Warmest Regards,

Chris

[General Questions and Answers] kstagg:
Anybody know if there is a launcher which allows you to save different layout settings for portrait and landscape? On my Nexus 7, I use it 50/50 each way, and when I view it in landscape the row/columns are all out of alignment - and vice versa.

I would like it to be able to adjust layout depending on how the device is held. Perhaps, maybe adjusting the margins and spacing between icons? Is this a feature on any launcher out there?

Thanks. ﻿
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mageus:
I'm using Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.7.9 to root and flash a recovery but it never completes. It hangs when trying to run TWRP

Nexus 10

4.4, build KRT16S, bone stock

unlocked

- In NRT choose Root (with or without custom recovery)

- It reboots into fastboot OK

- it boots the temporary boot OK

- it pushes the root files OK

- it reboots into fastboot OK

- when it trys to temporary boot into TWRP fastboot says

"FASTBOOT STATUS - DATA007bf800" and hangs

NRT hanges and I have to force quit it.

I can reboot the Nexus by holding PWR for 5seconds. It's not rooted (of course). I can reboot to stock recovery just fine. The tablet otherwise works fine.

The problem seems to be when NRT tries to run TWRP.

Interestingly, even if I set NRT options to use CWM, it still tries to boot into TWRP.

Any ideas?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nigelhealy:
I did exactly as you only a couple of days ago. I plugged into a different USB port and it worked the 2nd time.

IT still though got into a bootloop (the graphics on the startup never stop) so pressed all 3 buttons many times then did a factory reset then was golden thereafter.

Good luck.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mageus:
Did you have the "FASTBOOT STATUS - DATAXXXX" error?

I've seen tons of posts about "FASTBOOT STATUS - FAIL INVALID" messages, but that's not what's happening here. It sounds like a memory error, either a bad file read, or physical RAM error. I verified the hash on NRTs copy of TWRP, so that's not the problem.

I tried 3 different USB cables and 2 different USB ports. No help.

I'll try to manually sideload TWRP via Fastboot today, but am not hopeful.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nigelhealy:
So I've been doing for my 3 Android devices (N4, N7, N10), doing stock install of 4.2.2, 4.3, 4.4 and doing some benchmarks, so I've been doing loads of stock flash, root, some with / without custom recovery.

One combination, I can't recall which, which sounds most similar to yours, what I did was NOT have any custom recovery installed, a pure simply stock install, and then simple rooted it with NO custom recovery, then I could get past the problem similar to yours, I installed ROM Manager and let it install a customer recovery.

I have got the impression from the 3-4 stock installs I done last 4 days on my N10, that WUGS TWRP+N10 is not as stable as WUGS TWRP+N7 or WUGS TWRP+N4. It seems better either WUGS + N10 + no custom recovery, or that other one (Koush?). You can add custom recovery post setup so long as you're rooted, ROM Manager is what I used.

FYI having tried 4.2.2, 4.3, 4.4, then back to 4.3, i've settled on 4.4, and on all my 3 Android devices, each though with a different kernel - N10 doesn't have Franco but it also has USB driver issues (thanks Samsung and Google) but found a kernel which put them back in.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mageus:
I sideloaded TWRP 2.6.3.1 via fastboot. Piece of cake. TWRP even asked to install SuperSU, which I did.

Nigel, I think you're right. There may be issues with NRT, TWRP 2631, and the Nexus 10.

Hello, I have a sprint Samsung galaxy s4 that is on version 4.3 and latest bandwidth, I just rooted it and I'm about to try adding a custom rom to see if it can fix my issue.

My issue is that I can't pay sprint bill so, it's deactivated by Sprint and when I updated from 4.2 to 4.3 my wifi stopped working and now I can't get it to work again. I just want to use my device with wifi for now. If anyone can solve this issue please write on my thread and help me out.

Thank you for your time.

The custom rom just finished downloading and now I can't transfer the zip file on to my phone's internal storage, it keeps getting denied. Anyone know how to get it on the without an sd card?

I just tried copying the zip folder to the sd card and it's not letting me. HELP?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] xxaddictedxx:
have someone download it for you and BT it over......bout the only other way....you should check and make sure that your phone is mounted to your computer correctly and that your trying to place the .zip in the correct storage location. also i usually have USB debugging on and have never had any problems.....to turn on usb debugging go to about phone>tap on where it say build number 7-9 times untill developer options are enabled>check usb debugging. hope this helps
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mikejones13:
If you have another Android device you can use superbeam on both to transfer the file to the device. Download the rom on one device and use superbeam to send it to the S4. It uses QR code so you will need a QR scanner which is in the play store. Or use a card reader to connect to your SD card to move the file. Honestly I would just use superbeam if possible. Have you tried to run Odin or kies to re-install the MJA update?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cremator231:
usb debugging is and was on when I tried doing that. Still didn't work. Beaming won't work for me, no one has an Android that I know of.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] xxaddictedxx:
there should be no reason you cant just xfer to your phone from your computer. check drivers, security, admin rights. do the same for your device your rooted so make sure there is nothing conflicting. on a side note get a sd card (and sdcard reader for your comp if necessary).....itll make life easier. if you already have one try copying all your files to internal and reformat the card then try again......its something small and simple your missing here. it could even be the cable your using......

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hello. So I have an interesting question that's slowly formed in my head. It started out with wanting to use a hotspot but the option is gone from my phone. Oh, I have a galaxy S3 on virgin mobile. Anyways, my last phone I had for the past 2 years was able to be used as a WiFi hotspot. And believe me I used it a lot. And I made sure that id still have that with this phone, but sadly its gone on this phone. The option isn't just missing from the menu, the function is off because any apps I try to run say that a hotspot function isn't available. And it gets me upset because on virgin mobiles website they even have a step by step page to turning on the hotspot for this phone. Is that completely f2f also advertising or what!? Lol anyways I can still use usb teathering, but I'd really like to get my wifi hotspot running again.

So all this has one limit, I paid 400 dollars for this phone and I want to at least use the 1 year warranty before I mess anything up because I'm in school and I drive about a hundred bucks in gas per week, so keeping in mind that I work at a grocery store I can't buy a new phone for a while.

So lets get down to the idea here. Theres a menu you can access from the off position by pressing the down and menu button from what I remember. If thats not right then i forgot. Nevertheless while I was in the menu I couldn't help but wonder if it was possible to save your Rom from there without rooting your phone. So with that being said heres the big question; can I save the stock rom (unrooted) as a backup for warrenty purposes as a failsafe, and then install another rom like cyogenmod that I can root?

Thanks for your answers! (:

Ps: typos are due to the auto correct on this phone. Ill be turning that off moments after I post this.

Hi,

I'm using the latest (from 4th of december) CM 10.2 with the Iodak 8.5 kernel

CPU @ 1150 mhz (underclocked)

When i'm in the train going to college and listening to Spotify, and just a little bit of whatsapp on 3G/H/H+ my battery drains really quickly, about 25% in 1 hour

I already tried different kernels, different ROMs etc.

CM 10.2 with the Iodak 8.5 kernel is the only one where i'm getting 25% battery drain, stock CM kernel drains about 30-35% each hour while using Spotify

Anyone also having the same issue? If yes, is there a fix for this?

If there is a bad 3G,H,H+ reception in that area thats why you lose so much battery...

I watched a few reviews of the Nexus 5 and in the most part the screen appears a little washed out, with very low contrast.

Is the screen really that bad? I don't expect it to be the best in the market for 350 bucks, but neither do I want to have a device that looks like somebody glued a thin piece of paper on top of the display.

Honestly, the screen is pretty bad. It's the thing I hate most about my N5. Like you said, low contrast and fairly washed out colors. The black levels are downright terrible, and it's also got some viewing angle problems. It's passable, but that's about the closest thing to a compliment I can say about it. Unfortunately, the crappy screen belies the overall quality of the phone. It's a great device, LG just cut the wrong corners.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamBG:
"It’s interesting to hear some Nexus 5 users complain that the display seems undersaturated, since that kind of end user feedback reflects subjective comparison. It also suggests to me that a large percentage of the population doesn’t know what some colors or system elements actually should be. Even for me, looking at the green elements inside the Google Play store on the Note 3 in movie mode or Nexus 5 initially seemed slightly more muted than normal. The reality is that this is what they actually should look like. We’ve just become accustomed to their oversaturated appearance on virtually every other device.

This kind of expectation about what looks right and what doesn’t is rather telling for the state of display calibration in Android handsets, and how OEMs have used oversaturated colors to increase retail shelf appeal. Unfortunately the reality is that oversaturated colors do seem to win taste tests among shoppers, the same way that TVs in most big boxes do. We’ve been looking at them for so long that well calibrated displays like Nexus 5 initially do look noticeably different.

The end result is easy to sum up, however – Nexus 5 has the best calibrated display I’ve seen so far in any Android handset. It’s also leaps and bounds more accurate and controlled than its predecessor display in the Nexus 4." - Anandtech Review

I got my nexus 5 and was worried about the screen, but no issues. No dead pixels, the screen only slightly washes out when viewed at an angle (meaning only people nitpicky people would be annoyed by it. I personally think the screen is still easy to view, and read from even an extreme angle. But I have seen videos of others with nexus 5's that looked unbearable, so I'm sure the issue exists. Maybe I just got lucky and different screen hardware.

I dont really notice washed out colors in general, but the color temps are definitely different than my iPhone 5, which to me felt a bit too bright/blue compared to my nexus, easier on the eyes.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] ElMartinoAT:
First why i want to root:

-) install some apps needing root (e.g. xposed, Firewall)

-) remove bloat- and gridware

-) integrate actual app-updates into rom

-) make backup

so what i did:

-) want to buy a note 3 ;)))))

-) read some days about note 3 and knox in the inet ... got the result that there root is only possible for MJ1 and older (without triggering knox) --> buy the Note 3 fast

-) got my Note 3 yesterday with MI7 ATO Firmware (old bootloader), thank god

-) flash with URDLV modificated MJ7 ATO with Odin (in URDLV-Mod there is only System and Cache Partition, so there was prob with old modem, no wlan and 3G) --> Knox is still 0

-) flash the whole MJ7 with Mobile Odin for new modem, recovery, ...(Mobile Odin do not flash bootloader !!) --> Knox is still 0

-) flash empty hidden.img (see attachment) with Mobile Odin to erase preload and preinstalled apps --> Knox is still 0

-) remove bloat- and gridware with some root deinstaller and root Explorer (there is much to erase on note 3 ;)

-) get updates from Play Store

-) move updated apk's and lib's from data to System (to integrate it in the rom)

-) install some needed apps (xposed, ...)

-) make backup with nandroid

so i have a updated, rooted, modificated Note 3 (only with the apps i need and updated versions from playstore) with actual MJ7 firmware and Knox 0 !!! Thats what i want :)

For that there is no need for custom recovery (install of custom recovery trigger knox)

Now i will test the stock-kernel and battery live for days ... if it is necessary to install custom kernel i will think about triggering knox ;)

Just a warning as I did similar with MJ4 on a n900w8.

Since mobile odin doesn't officially support that model you can force it to see the phone as an n9005. Well it worked but it tripped knox flag adn the modem flash still showed the older mj1 modem in spite of it being selected.

So be carefull out there
