[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metinrecepi:
Hi to all,

I did a research on internet but I couldn't find anything related my issue.

This is my 5th Galaxy S4 (I9505) and I'm facing this issue only with this phone.

Wherever I go, my phone never reaches 5 signal bars. It is always stucked at 4. (4/5)

Most of the time I'm on 2G mode and I'm using WiFi for Internet so data connection is not connected but it doesn't change.

Sometimes when I'm on 3G it goes down to 2 or 3 bars but very very hardly. But it never reaches 5 signal bars filled.

I tried changing ROMs, modems, I even took a new sim card and yesterday I changed the sim card slot. Nothing changed.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EasyAndroidPro:
Today my girlfriend's Xperia Z stopped charging completely and eventually ran out of battery as of now its just a brick

I've tried using multiple cables but none are working and ive also bought a Docking Station for the device so ill guess ill have to wait for that to arrive...

When you fiddle around with the cable the LED does light up at times.. and if you manage to get it in that right spot and keep it there,

The LED just flashes very fast and doesnt seem to actually give it any charge at all, Still cant power it on, Nor does it overheat.

Just wondering if anyone else has experianced this problem and has fixed it in anyway as the Docking Station is not always the most pratical way to charge for her.

If the last resort is sending it off to be fixed, does anyone know how much it will cost (£) or even if it can be fixed?

Its not waterproof anymore either since the rubber seals have started to deteriate over time which is not great..

But that is not the cause of the phone to stop charging. Just another problem.

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidtkf88:
i think it maybe a faulty usb port..i have encounter a faulty usb port on galaxy s 2 with the same problem as you, sometime if the cable is connected correctly it can be charge, but most time it just cannot..on the s2 the usb cable get very hot but the phone not charge at all..after change the usb port on the s2 the problem is solved..:D:D
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EasyAndroidPro:
Yeah it probably is, i've bought a replacement USB Port cheap so i will try and replace it when it gets here and hopefully that will fix it

Just a little dissapointing as the phone is less than a year old D:

I still have 6 year old phones that still work great makes me wonder about these new ones that break all the time :P
[General Questions and Answers] SunSDK:
Hi guys, I love XDA and there is alot of talent circling it so I wanted to bring these question to you guys.

How does one go about building a VOIP app for Android?, Are the calls free for the creator?(as in money is spent on development not on calls made my other users), How do those VOIP apps currently in the playstore allow you to register a new unused US phone number and how could I implement it to the application.

I appreciate you reading this and an answer if you can.

Btw I am asking because I want to bring really cheap calling through the use of VOIP to a 3rd world country as their current rates are outrageous.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] less.haste:
Hello,

I just unlocked and rooted my N7 using Wugfreshs toolkit. The operation seemed to go smooth, however I couldn't get it to boot into TWRP unless I used Quickboot from the system menu.

I used Wugfresh to revert it back to stock and locked the bootloader again. This time the key presses worked but rather than the stock recovery I am left with the Belly-up android with the red triangle..

What's happened to my stock recovery?

Root is required!!! (How to root guide is included:cool:)

The rooting guide is ONLY for XPERIA sole, and so the ROM. The .ZIPs may work in other XPERIAs, too. DON'T try to use these kernels in OTHER phones, most likely you will get BRICKED:mad:... Noob friendly guides...:o

I'm NOT RESPONSIBLE for ANY DAMAGE done in your phone. By ROOTing, you have already VOIDED the guarantee. Unlocking the BOOTLOADER also voids the guarantee, but there is no way to relock it if there is no backup. So, make sure to backup your TA Partition, in order to restore it in case of emergency (guide included). ALWAYS make BACKUPS before you do ANYTHING!!! By following most of the guides, all your data will be lost. BACKUPS!!!

How to make post rom on my samsung galaxy grand GT-i9082 for KitKat rom? plase help me...?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fje:
Hi, probably this has already been answered in another thread, I apologyze for it, but I already searched in all the forum and didn't find it. Hope you can help me.

I own a HTC Sensation since years ago and in one of the 7 desktops it has I put a couple of pictures, not as screen picture, but as potos as such in the desktop.

Today I had to do e "Hard Reset" (due to problems with an application not working) and I have been reinstalling everything I used to have on it.

But when the momento of putting back again the couple of pictures in the empty desktop I am not able. I have read that in theory, pressing menú the selections should appear as: widget, application, direct Access AND photo frame.

The first three selection come, but the photo frame is not there.

I have also read that, in theory, it should be included in the software but I am not able to find it.

Any help? My software is Android 4.0.3, Sense 3.6 software version 3.32.75.51

Thanks so much

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Michael61182:
I have problems with my bluetooth headphones. It will connect and I can hear music for about 1 minute then it stops, my phone becomes unresponsive then it will usually reboot but get stuck. I usually have to pull the battery to restart.

I'm curious if there is something that I have flashed in the past to cause this.

The headphones work fine on my wifes 4g touch and my galaxy tablet as well.

I've even unrooted and went back to stock but still no luck.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Michael61182:
Interesting, I didnt have that in mind, but may be worth a try. I saw some cheap S2's on ebay with bad ESN's. I'm just interested in getting my bluetooth working. I removed my motherboard last night just to see if I could see anything work visually. I already sent my phone to Samsung but they said it was OOW for having a cracked screen. The wanted to charge $160 to fix it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wizardknight:
You can get used E4GTs all day long for under $100 in good condition on Craigslist where I am. I usually see them running $50-$75, but I paid $30 for the last one I bought.

I would suggest buying a new one, and selling the defective one on eBay for parts. If the shell is in fair condition someone will buy it.

The other option, if you are not under contract, is to consider an upgrade to the s4. I have seen some $0-$50 prices so far this holiday season.

I have just unlocked and rooted and now want to try rumrunner for S-OFF but I am having a ridiculous time trying to get busybox installed. I keep installing stock roms in hopes to get busybox installed but they all seem to want to install a kernel which sends my phone into a bootloop even though they say they are stock kernel roms. Does anybody know how I can get busybox on stock without having to do this or can recommend a rom to me that doesent install a kernel for S-ON?

My thoughts are odin MDK and then root and flash TWRP?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] orateam:
I did it. Luckily i was able to odin back to an MDK ROM, re-root and recovery. All is well. I always thought you couldn't go back to MDK, but i guess you could. Does that mean anyone on a ROM today can go back to MDK?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] urcboss07:
The reason you could go back to MDK, because you were on MDK build. People won't be able to odin back to MDK after they take OTA update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] orateam:
i wasn't on the MDK build. I had already moved to a custom rom of ME7 and was on hyperdrive 4.3 when i did the ODIN. Is it because i wasn't bootlocked?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
Flashing a custom ROM doesn't change your original baseband. If you didn't take any official OTA's then you were still on MDK. Also, there's no such thing as an unlocked bootloader for the S4's.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] orateam:
Your right. I just checked my baseband on my current ROM (recently released hyperdrive r11) and it's MDK.

So does the baseband have any affect on my usage?

Boot into the factory recovery and do a wipe/factory restore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Powell730:
didnt realize this was possible if we're on a custom recovery. i thought factory recovery was erased once you install a custom one?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mark843:
You will wipe the custom recovery when you odin. After that just boot into recovery and select wipe/factory reset.

Hello everyone, hope you guys are having a great holiday season. Anyway I've been trying to theme the stock 4.3 secmms.apk. What I have been trying to do is make a lighter theme. I'm not the best xml or theming but I know the basics. My questions if you're willing to help.

-How can I change the blue header on both the conversations and messages? I would prefer for it to a light grey. It seems impossible to change!

- How do I change the boxes. I would like theme similar to the hangouts theme. Everytime I try the words go outside of it.

Recently bought the 2 x iLoome Flex for my note3, but im not 100% satisfied with it. The surface is not as smooth as 'glass", but feels more like the better PET films. It feels rubbery. Good thing is, its really slim, and the shape and cut is just perfect.

i have one, you need to give the surface a good cleaning after you have it installed and the rubbery feel will go away. Wipe it down with isopropyl alcohol and some microfiber cloth, youll feel a difference right away.
