[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] aturbs:
you can do a dirty flash (without wiping) so you won't lose all your settings. it's usually not recommended becuase it can cause FC, but since you're already getting them, I'd say that its worth a shot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] satannik:
Is this the only option? I'd rather not but if it is then I guess I'm going to have to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] aturbs:
i'm sure there's some way to put the Hangouts app back into the app folder and change it's permissions, but i always end up screwing that up lol. that's all the advice i have. good luck :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Russ77:
here is the process to "push" a system app to your phone.

1. download the ROM or GAPPS that hangouts originally came from to your sdcard or extsdcard if you don't already have it

2. using root explorer or es file explorer, navigate to system/app in the rom or GAPPS zip file and extract hangouts.apk

3. copy or move hangouts.apk into system/app on your phone

4. change permissions to -rw-r--r--

5. reboot and it should work fine
[Sony Tablet S] givecake:
Hi all. I was here some months back, trying to root the device (which I had upgraded to firmware 4.03 r1a) and I tried all the scripts, the allinone and other ADB commands. Multiple times. Got this device in China, and didn't have any luck rooting it.

Now after not using the device for months, I turn it on and notice r5a is available. I thought.. hmm, maybe upgrading it will make it harder once again to root it, so I better check online to see if there's a root available now or not. I've been looking around and can't find any real answers on this.

So, just wanted to ask: Is the Sony Tablet S 4.03 r1a rootable now?

Thanks!
[Sony Tablet S] limax182:
Yes it's rootable... I think you didn't look around so well :p cause its a sticky thread in Tablet S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

[Sony Tablet S] givecake:
Hi and thanks for reply :D

I did follow the instructions on this page but that was probably last January. I couldn't find any specifics about a Chinese firmware with 4.03 r1a, so was just wondering if this guide was valid for it.

I suppose I'll try it again, and see if anything's changed.

Thanks.

[One (M7) General] Iz3man:
Hey guys,

I've had my One repaired 5 times. This last time it was deemed warranty void because it had a little scratch on the front camera lens. I yelled enough to be heard at HTC and the authorized a full repair ( new grills, lcd, rear panel, speakers, front and rear camera) I was pleased. I picked it up today and found it would not power up, stupidly i listened to the Bell store rep who figured it was dead. So i plugged it into the charger and found it to be at 50%, the power button would not actually move, like it was bonded to the phone. I started to look closer and found that my rear camera was off center significantly. I like most of you have looked at a lot of tear down videos, and I know that there is next to no wiggle room in there. I can only assume that the asshat at FutureTel that "fixed" it didn't align everything in place before he forced the back cover on.

I'm taking it back tomorrow morning to send it out again, why they won't just give me a new one is well beyond me...

Anyone else have this issue?

If you're annoyed at HTC for not having great customer service, there's no point telling us and not them considering they're the ones who can improve.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeldalink:
Hi i have an s4 i9505.

It was bought from someone else so i cant go back to the store so i hope some people here can help me.

I flashed a GE rom on the phone and it got random reboots so i reflashed it to stock. It worked for 2 days and did a lot of reboots to test if it keept working. After those 2 days i wanted to insert another sim so i first rebooted to check if it still worked and it dit then i turned it off. I inserted the new sim (witch requires to pull the battery). I tried to boot it and it came to the unlock screen and even before i touched it it rebooted. It was stuck in this reboot loop.

The weird thing is that the more reboots toke place the shorter they took to get to a reboot. So the first time i got to lock screen after 2 times i didn't. Better said after 20 reboots it even rebooted in the startup sound. Now if i plug battery insert it again it does the same. If i leave the battery out for some time and put it back in it will boot again to lock screen (sometimes i can use it for 5 min before a reboot).

I already had done a new flash of stock firmware and also flashed cm10.2, cm11, GE4.4 and some more roms they all have the same problem.

I already replaced battery and didn't help a bit.

I hope someone can help me and give me a direction i have to look into.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
How about the connector pins on the battery? Does one of them look like it's bent in so that it might not be making good contact all the time?

okay the problem is resolved for now i replaced the battery again with another one and that one still works even after a few reboots and battery pulls the other 2 batterys are both dead so thanks for all the help :)

I was on .23 and it was meh. I never had LTE at home. I finally have had some free time and decided to flash all 3 to test em out. I then tried stock .17...but same result as .23 dBm wise. (Still only 3g too). I then flashed .15 and bam...hooked on LTE and has stayed there for 15 min now.

Hi Guys,.

Is there such an app that would allow me to swap out my work sim to my own sim on an evening.

I.e. I would like an app that detects what operator sim I am using and automatically choose the correct profile for gprs, mms and sms.

Using Voda for work and O2 payg for personal.

a plugin would be nice that just swaps the operator setiings over.

I am not over bothered about having a dual sim as changing it over manually is easy enough. Just want an easy way to swap the connection settings over.

Just a footnote I recently re flashed to latest T-Mobile rom and needed to run an app that required Compact framework 2.0. It ran like a bag of Sh**e. Dropped back to the o2 rom and everything cool and groovy.

Answer my prayers brothers of the mobil revolution

:-) :D

SVP M2000

O2 1.40

O2 ext rom

O2 plus (its cool and groovy.

Radio 1.15
[Networking] edsub:
You are looking for a combination of a dual-SIM adapter and the Wivit SSS software.

The Dual SIM adapter holds two sims. The active SIM can be switched by switching off & on the GSM radio (or by going into and out of flight mode).

Just for this purpose SSS (see wivit.com) was developed. It lets you switch sims and show (on today) the active sim (by its phone number).

One thing: SSS is currently not reliable om WM5 (I have used it for more than a year on my Himalaya and am very confident.
[Networking] dw1991:
Thanks for your reply

Had a quick play with this, however it only changes the operator. I need something that will auto detect the correct operator settings for GPRS MMS etc.

Not really bothered about running the 2 sims at the same time. ]

Regards
[Networking] vijay555:
dw1991: to tell you the truth, the easiest way is just to carry a .cab file with the settings for each operator. One click and it's installed.

I keep one for Orange PAYG, one for O2 contract. I know you don't need it, but I use a cut dual sim on my Magician and never had any problems with this solution.

An autodetecting system could be written, but it'd be over-egging it a bit compared to 2 shortcuts to the .cabs, in a folder on your start menu.

[Networking] edsub:
Last year I discussed this with the Wivit guys. They planned switching active GPRS network settings linked to SIM switching in some next version of their SSS. Nother was released however since their first 1.0 build. (also i havent seen these guys on this forum for a long time). Pity
[Networking] dw1991:
Re Cab files

I tried this solution also. Howeve when I double click the cab file on the device it dissappears. Do I have to copy these file across every time |I sync
[Networking] Koksie:
This cab has some regedits in it that will prevent the .cab files from being deleted after you execute them.
[Networking] edsub:
making the CAB's readponly beforehand also solves this!
[Networking] cassiano:
That's what I want to do!

Hi, vijay555!

I also use 2 SIM cards from different operators in my Excalibur / Dash / HTC S621 and I want to me cabs for changing the connection settings (gprs/mms/wap) more easily.

Can you help me doing that? I use brasilian operators VIVO and Claro (if you find easier making the cabs than explaining how to I can post the settings latter on :D)

BTW, I use one of the latest Ricky/Kavana 6.1 ROM.

Thanks in advance.

The question in my mind was more along the line of "will the patch break stuff in 4.1.2 roms". Having to PC odin a bootloader when switching back and forth is a detail worth knowing about (in my estimation). Neither bad nor good, simply knowledge.
