[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Mr. HQ:
Just had this happen to me today on a Verizon Note 3.

SD card completely dead. I wasn't even using it...AT ALL! Will not recognize on my laptop using the SD card slot.

Battery was heating up & draining too. Crazy! Over a 3 minute period I watched the battery percentage drop 4%-5%

Oh well. Why do these devices "eat" SD cards?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dkb218:
I encountered the same problem a year ago with my Note 2. Fortunately it wasn't the card. I was using a custom kernel that didn't recognize the FAT 32 I had the card formated to. SInce going back the stock kernel, I've had zero problems with the SD on my N2 or N3. Anyone using a custom kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kid Poker:
Same here. Mine went thru Samsung tablets as well. S3, S4, N2, N3, Galaxy Tab 3 8.0

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Rocketballz:
Lexmark isn't the greatest brand of SD cards. I generally only use sandisk or Lexar and I've never had a problem.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
There is so much information contradicting this that is hard to follow.

To me the stand is not important but I do want the cable. If speeds is bad on the other or any other risks like being able to connect inverse etc, then I rather pay for the DK30 and get it over with.

Also, I have seen some cheap adapters only to which you can connect any usb cable. That would be awesome but the fact I dont see them mention much implies they are not good...or not?

Adapter

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ij0rgei:
I have used both the EC21 and the knockoff magnetic cable and I do not see a difference in the ones that I have as far as charging is concerned. They both charge at the same rate regardless of which block I use which im starting to think is dependent on how much the phone wants to take in and not so much which block I use. I have tried a galaxy S3 charging block, stock XZU block, and the first gen ipad block and they all show the same charging speeds despite the difference in amperage. Can anyone else verify this for me? I know the ipad block should charge the phone faster since its a 2.1A block, but I am not seeing the speed. I have seen others get charging times around 2 hours and under but mine is no where near those times as it takes upwards of 3 hours to get from 35% to full.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jewelkobayashi:
Since these Chinese knock-offs don't have official names, thus making their identification difficult, we would never know for sure which types people are talking about.

But I have one at home, one at office (EC-21 and copy) and they do charge at different rates.

Even thought the copy version is more user friendly due to stronger magnets, I can tell you that EC-21 charges to the phone to full from any % in under 4 hours. Same cannot be said for the copy, which does have a thinner cable.

I have woken up from a 6 hour sleep a few times to find my phone not fully charged. (yes, all apps were closed and nothing should have been sucking the power)

I have seen 2 variants of EC-21

Ones that come with the DK-30 dock, which cannot charge from USB ports on PC, and the EC-21 sold as EC-21, without the dock. This type has a chunkier USB connector which allows you to connect to PC and charge.

The one I have is the cable-only EC-21
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ij0rgei:
this is the knockoff I have.

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=200964395431

as far as the EC21 cable, I took mine out of the DK30 dock since my phone now fits in between both adapters.

I've never woken up to a not fully charged phone when using the knockoff one. I did notice it took longer to fully charge when I use knockoff at work with generic 1.0A block at work, but that's because I have music streaming as well as instant messages flooding in, so that isn't surprising.

after you mentioned that your knockoff cable had a thinner cable, I checked mine and saw that it was a hair thinner but almost the same thickness. I have attached pictures. is that what you're talking about in terms of "thinner"?

has anyone else purchased the cable that I bought off eBay and can give any other feedback on it?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
How are you guys checking the input power exactly? I tried an app but could never figure it out :/ lol
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jewelkobayashi:
It is hard to judge whether the thickness of the cable is the same for my knockoff, but I can say that my knock off is not the one you have posted the link for. The differences I can see though, are that the USB connector on mine is smaller, whereas the one you posted has the beefier/chunkier USB connector, suggesting that this cable allows it to charge via USB ports on PCs (the one on ebay you posted has the USB connector part looking similar in size to my EC-21, the version which is not the one included in the DK-30 set). Also the magnetic connector is a bit bigger on my knockoff (probably explaining the better sticking power to my Z Ultra compared to EC-21)

I forgot to mention in previous post that the only factor influencing the charge rate is the cable itself, because I have 2 x original Sony chargers (same model)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] darth5zaft:
I bought one of those adapter. Not really a good deal. The magnet isn't too strong to offset the usb weight. And if u aren't careful u could inverse connection and. Well the phone did not die but u do have to reset it for it to work again.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
Indeed. I got one and barely used it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jacktrck:
Just got my xzu. Been reading and searching for a genuine magnetic charging cable. From what I have read there is no official magnetic charger cable made by Sony. So is something like: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Son...l_Phone_PDA_Chargers&var=&hash=item461de4c1f1 fake?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peteralliston:
Hello all!

Yesterday I started to 1st time flash my 9100g to presumably "original" firmware (I9100GXXLSR_I9100GXXLSP_I9100GDBTLS1_HOME.tar) with the before mentioned firmware and a PIT I've found somewhere in a forum together with 1.85 Odin (u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4) for that phone. Unfortunately it seems that I "killed" (Hard or Soft bricked - don't know) my phone (So far I remember I switched Nand erase by lack of attention also, but stopped before complete).

Now the phone starts only in "Phone-exclamation-PC" mode ever and ever again - even with a JIG. Odin 3 and 1.85 recognizes the phone, but don't get further than "Setup Connection". Sometimes I get a connection after I used Jig (still at that showing that exlamation screen), and can flash something, but not always. Kies doesn't get a connection.

So my questions:

1. Is it completely bricked?? (meaning: Sending to Samsung)

3. If not, how can I recover it? (I Don't know, but looks like a kernel startup problem, evtl. wrong PIT)

2. If yes, can someone tell me how much one have to pay for repair in average?

(Before that I made a complete flash/nand mem backup by su and dd of this phone on a 16GB USB Stick - can I use that somehow?)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
1. It definitely looks like a Service Centre job, but I may be wrong. The "phone-exclamation-PC" is a type of download mode. So that means you only have soft brick, and not a hard one.

2. Yup, wrong PIT it is. You should be careful before flashing PIT files mate. You can try flashing stock firmwares via Odin to see if anything succeeds. But I doubt it will.

3. It is usually the cost of a new motherboard + service charges.

For better answers and guidance, you should state your issue here:

Thanks! Yes.

So, a WARNING from me: The PIT "u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit" for the phone version "I9100GXXLSR_I9100GXXLSP_I9100GDBTLS1_HOME.tar" which is posted in some forums, IS WRONG!

CORRECT ONE IS: "omap4_all_20110627_emmc.pit" (Here attached; MD5: 8fd1dd2630dd844abe9183203fa438f7)

Hi guys, im new to a lot of this stuff, I have always rooted and installed custom roms on my devices but I have never really done much tweaking or anything.

So I installed cyanogenmod on my Nexus 5 and whilst it is great, I really miss the 4.4.1 camera, so I was wondering if it would be posible for anyone to get the 4.4.1 camera app for me?

Thank you.

It would need porting. Lots of work. I still don't think anyone ported the nexus 4 camera yet.

Ok guys I searched this forum for unrooting note 2 using toolkit but need some specific answers cause im not cpu literate. I want to unroot to install the new update. I went into toolkit and idk what options to pick after I got to a screen where it gave me 7 options. I searched n someone said options 5 n 6 were to unroot but I see option 7 is the only one that has anything about unrooting. I actually picked option 5 the first time I tried it n it pulled up odin n told me to choose twrp recovery and I didnt see that option in my files. It had already sent my phone into download mode . I didnt know what to do and I freaked out n unplugged my phone (stupid I know) but after unplugging it stayed into dlm. I took my battery out and luckily it didnt do any damage by that dumb move. So can someone please help me or walk me thru this. I know im probly leaving info out yall need but im still shaken up from what happened. My note 2 is my baby haha. Thanks guys.

Ps im stock rooted no custom roms or anything. Im on 4.1.2

[HTC One S] pyrocide:
This is more of a clarification request than a help question

As I understand it, mind you I am not that well versed in Android dev, you cannot obtain SuperCID/S-OFF either through Moonshine or Facepalm methods when you are on 2.16 HBOOT. Is that correct?

Given this is fact, the only way to have 2.16 + S-OFF is to be S-OFF before upgrading HBOOT to 2.16?

So let's say for my phone I have 2.15 HBOOT Moonshine'd S-OFF, if I upgrade to HBOOT 2.16 will i still maintain my S-OFF status?

And as a side question, what methods are available to upgrade my HBOOT from 2.15 to 2.16? Current phone is TMOUS CM10.1.3 with the latest *.17 firmware.
[HTC One S] tivofool:
Yes you stay s-off unless you give a certain command in fastboot. I'm not going to say the command because someone will type it and mess up their phone.

(FYI do not Go back to S-on unless your phone is completely back to stock)

Follow the original post in the Maximus HD thread, that flashes the new firmware that will update the HBoot, Radio, Repartition for new Android. Also the modified TWRP in that post is the only recovery that will work with the new firmware.

Oh, and yes, Moonshine and Facepalm do not work with 2.16. But there is a new way to S-off using rumrunner, that will even work with 2.16.

[HTC One S] pyrocide:
Do i have to be on stock to follow the Maximus install or can I be on a different rom with a different recovery than what is provided in the install package until I flash the provided recovery at the end of the install?
[HTC One S] tivofool:
Ya, that is fine to be on a different ROM and Recovery.

Follow the directions exactly. (for example downloading and installing maximus before installing the new firmware and recovery and then reinstalling Maximus.

Welp i got past the first install but after rebooting into fastboot and oemReboot trying to flash the recovery (after the firmware.zip was successful) I am stuck at the black screen w/ silver HTC logo and an incomplete green bar. Power down and try again? Or wait some more, been about 5 minutes so far.
[HTC One S] tivofool:
I believe you are still in RUU mode, so since the firmware successfully flashed, reboot phone into bootloader and fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[HTC One S] pyrocide:
that is correct, following maximus to the letter it did not mention going back to bootloader after flashing the firmware.zip. What about the incomplete green bar should I be worried about that?
[HTC One S] tivofool:
Nope, I'm almost positive you have done everything correctly. Just my memory is a little fuzzy, but I'm pretty sure that is exactly what has happened to me. (I've installed Maximus and firmware 3 different occasions)

It shouldnt matter still being s-off, but I still have my unlock token to unlock the bootloader.
[HTC One S] tivofool:
Yep, that is why. Unlock that bootloader.
[HTC One S] pyrocide:
Forgive my ignorance but wasnt the entire point of being S-OFF was not having to jack with the bootloader being locked and unlocked/relocked etc?

Got it to boot, working on second maximus install now.
[HTC One S] tivofool:
I know what you mean, but no, the bootloader needs to be unlocked to root and flash custom roms. But there is still some security that needs to be turned off to be able to change some things, like HBoot and other things.
[HTC One S] pyrocide:
Thanks for the help, got it booting and charging. Gonna test the battery with the extended battery from the One X+ and see how much better this battery is vs CM10.1.3 and bootloops/reboots etc.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberprodigy:
Hey guys. I have been lurking this forum for the past couple weeks and from what I have acquired, it doesn't look like there is going to be a guaranteed way to bypass Knox. So it seems like I have the decision of either voiding my warranty permanently or dealing with an awesome phone undermined by bloatware.

So here is the question, is there any other downsides to having Knox 0x1?

Yeah, that's true. I thought the post was referring to some hidden drawback. I don't use Knox myself, and I don't know anyone who does, but I suppose it has a purpose for a select few. It would be interesting to see just what percentage of Note 3 or S4 users are actually using the Knox container.

Unless you own a company, or work in a company that uses high level IT security, no one cares about knox. We've lived without knox for long before and no one ever died

The only people using it I'd say, would be people who are given it as a work phone. Or people who are curious about how it works and fired it up to test it - I tested it -

Sorry for posting my problem here but in other fora there were no answer so far :(

I'd like to save my new docs into the 'My Documents' folder of Storage Card automatically in order to save space in main (RAM) memory. I know it seems to be easy, just go to 'Options' and set 'Save to' Storage Card. I've done it in case of every frequently used program.

Camera and Excel works well, they place the new file into 'Storage Card\My Documents\My Pictures' and 'Storage Card\My Documents'. But Pocket Word and Notes place the new file just into Storage Card root dir.

Any hint how to solve it? Maybe some registry settings?

I had my device rooted before but after the MK2 upgrade, I lost root privileges. Then, I tried to re-root it, and apparently I did something wrong and I soft bricked my phone.

Hi there!

I am using a very nice custom rom, but the ONLY thing i HATE about it is the

init.d file which has been modified by the developer.

To describe it, i must say that the light of the capacitive buttons is just about 50% AND THE MOST ANNOYING THING IS that the capacitive buttons remain light up even after the phone is powered off in fast boot.

AAAAND my question is.......: How to install the all good original init.d file provided by htc?

THANK YOU HOMIES!!!:laugh:

"init.d" is a directory, not a file.

Find the script inside this directory (if any) that is responsible for button lights and delete it.

First of all, thanks for answering :D.

Now, when i said init.d file, i was thinking of the init.d script. If i delete it, will the system rewrite a new GOOD one? Remember that the file was modified by the developer and it is installed with the rom.
