I'm getting a new WM5 PPC next week (Atom), and I would very much like to get a norwegian version of the phonepad/T9 into it. I know that the Wizard/Qtek 9100 has a norwegian version of the OS, so it should be possible. Has anybody taken that out of the pad from a norwegian version? Also is the T9 in the phonepad app, or is that a part of the greater OS?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dhb:
Hi

There are two different spelling-systems on a WM5. One is for the dictionary of Word, excel etc, the other for SMS, T9 and the likes. In total there are 3 files as far as I know, all placed in \windows directory.

Here are the norwegian ones

The file mssp2_en.lex is for the office-appz. It needs to be renamed according to the language of your OS, i.e. on my qtek it is named as _en because I run an english OS. If you put it on a French version of WM5, it needs to end with _fr.lex. Take a backup of the files present on your device first, just in case, then copy these 3 files into your \windows directory, and you should have SMS-spelling, office-spelling and T9 spelling in Norwegian.

I don't remember if a soft-reset is needed.

Hope this helps

Tusen takk! I appreciate it! :D So I can use the PhonePad from any version of a HTC WM5? Do you know where I can get that? It's not installed on those Atoms since they're not made by HTC.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Mastiff:
dhb, I haven't got T9 spelling in Norwegian yet with these files. Any idea what may be the problem? Could the spelling actually be within the PhonePad application?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] AsfaltSame:
Norsk T9

Takk for denne, akkurat det jeg søkte etter!

For å få norwegian i valgmulighetene på "phone pad" må du legge til disse i registeret:

HKLM/Software/HTC/IntelliPad/

Endre "LibraryCount" til en mer enn det som står der, og lag en ny Library register med et nummer høyere på slutten enn de du har (f.eks har du opp til Library6, lager du en ny med navnet Library7), og den må ha desimalverdien 11, som gir deg valgmuligheten til å velge norsk i "options" i "phone pad". Og til slutt må du legge språkfilen, T9NorwegianLdb.dll, i /windows.

I hope you all can forgive me for writing in Norwegian, this is my first post in this fantastic forum.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I Am Phooka:
Hi,

Not sure what is happening to my phone. I have had stock 4.2.2 rooted with CF auto root for months and had no problems. A few weeks ago my phone started to randomly shut down, not properly just complete power off in an instant. It would then start to reboot and get to the Samsung S4 logo screen before powering off again and trying to reboot and then gets stuck in a constant loop. At first I was able to just reinstall CF root with Odin and it would start up OK. I could also get it to start by re-installing Philz recovery.

Now though, that doesn't work so this morning I installed JB 4.3 I9505XXUEMK8-PRE-ROOTED-KNOX-FREE-ODEX-FULL.tar.MD5 and it says that it is rooted and everything seems to be OK but after an hour or so it has started to randomly shut down again. If I attempt to go into recovery (stock) and clear the cache partition it will reboot normally and run for a while until I use an app and do it again. Am I doing something wrong here or is my phone just knackered?

I have this problem, I swear it is because of the dodgy battery. (I have the BD battery)

When I plug it in to charge all works again properly.

Last night my battery was showing in the high 60's the phone went off. When I put charger in the battery was at 3%!

Very annoying, going to take to Geek Squad tonight and see if they wil lreplace battery. Guy here at work has same phone, different battery derial number and no problems at all.

Hopefully they will change the battery, I don't have any paperwork with me but the phone is obviously within the 1 year warrenty.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I Am Phooka:
Random Shutdown and boot loop

Interesting. I have noticed a couple of times when I look at the battery stats that it has drained from say 90% to 3% in less than 1min, just a verticle line. When I plug it in to charge it says that it's at 90% or whatever it was. Other times it needs charging and is almost dead. It's as though it has shorted out. I wonder if that is the problem here.:confused:

Same Issue

I have the same problem with my I9505

- It shuts down randomly (sometimes you see a few seconds in advance that your connection to the mobile antennas disconnects), when you look at it, in the middle of a phonecall, ... whenever it's nog plugged in to the power of external battery

- It's almost impossible to get it powered on again (gets stuck in a loop of rebooting: most times at the Samsung logo or after it's on for a few seconds), unless you connect your charger that is connected to the powergrid or external battery

- sometimes it resets the phonelanguage to default (so in stead of for example Dutch, everything is in English again) :eek:

I just cleared the cache and removed some programs...

Fingers crossed

--> I'll give an update if anything changes
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I Am Phooka:
Random Shutdown and boot loop

I've tried that as well. Didn't work. The problem you describe is exactly the problem I have. I have ordered another battery but I don't think it's that. I'll let you know if it is. I hadn't noticed that it always boots OK if it is plugged into the mains. Wish I knew what was causing the problems.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I Am Phooka:
Random Shutdown and boot loop

So I think I am finally getting somewhere. I took this screenshot straight after it shut down and got stuck in a boot loop. So I plugged it into the mains and it started OK. The battery just gives up when i stress the device with a hungry app or when booting which causes a heavy drain on the on the power even when its got a healthy charge. Got a new battery on order. Take a look at the screenshot. You can see the battery instantaneously drops to zero charge until it's re-booted on the mains.:laugh:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CheesyPeas:
I too am having this exact problem; I'm glad to hear it is not only me, not that it helps any of us.

I posted in another thread, but the symptoms everyone here are describing are exactly what I am seeing:

- Sudden battery drop from anything (it's happened to me before about 5 minutes after unplugging from the wall socket) to zero; then phone goes into a loop unless I plug it back into the mains socket

- When plugging into the mains socket with this issue, sometimes the battery is empty and sometimes it shoots straight back up to where it was

- Plants Vs Zombies 2 is the sure-fire way for me to reproduce this issue

- examined logs (although not sure if the right one) using CatLog; nothing obvious (in fact the last line on one of the logs is litterally cut halfway through)

- Wifi connection details lost occasionally

I have reflashed about 4 other (4.3) ROMs (and I tried a 4.4 GE one too) and they all seem to do the same; I am wondering if it is something to do with the non-Knox modems required to flash the 4.3 ROMs as I don't think I had this problem before updating to 4.3. I don't have the time or patience to revert back to a 4.2 ROM to test this though.

I can go for a couple of days without this happening, but fire up PvZ2 and here we go again.

I too have a new battery on order (allegedly genuine from a well-known auction site), so I will update this thread when that arrives to see if it makes any difference.

So you are telling me that my problem won't get solved so easely? How am I going to deal with a Phone that randomly shuts up??? I need my phone and over the last week it got always worse.. first it shut up at about 5pm.. (at ca 15% charge) then at 3pm and 50% charge... today it shut up at 11am and 80% charge... soon I won't be able to use my phone at all!! :mad:

Sorry to hear there's a few more out there with the same problem that I am having. AhHm... Sorry, WAS having. I tried re-flashing all sorts of ROMS from 4.2.2 to Echoe KitKat 4.4, flashed CF Root, reinstalled philz touch recovery god knows how many times all to no avail. I now know that it is nothing to do with your ROM or phone setup. It's Samsungs crappy battery. As soon as I put in my new battery problems solved. I have been running multi-window apps whilst having FB on in the background and watching a film all at the same time. If this was gonna crash it would have done by now.

Problem solved. Don't buy the cheap SPB £9.99 one on ebay it has lots of bad reviews. I got this one with no problems:

Samsung Batteries beggining with BD.

Yeah I found that out tonight also. I called samsung earlier today and they said if it is less than 2 years old they will repair it and I should send it to them. I have flashed so many ROMS since I purchased it last year and one or two with Knox which as we know registers that it has had a custom download which voids the warrantee so I thought it would be a waste of time sending it to them. Also I need my phone for work so it was easier to purchase a new battery. :cool:

Random Shutdowns & Boot Loops

Guy's this is definitely a battery problem and is well known by Samsung. If you go to the Samsung site under support it will give you your nearest Samsung service centre or you can call 0330 7267964 if your in the UK and they will tell you where it is. Just tell the guy on the phone that your battery is swollen slightly. Take your phone to the service centre and they will replace it free of charge with a better battery. All Samsung phones are under guarantee for TWO years. I did not need to take a receipt with me or anything as the phone hasn't been out two years.

A new battery will cure your shutdown problems. Its nothing to do with the ROM etc. By the way they don't check what ROM you're running or whether you have void Knox they just change the battery. Here is one reply from Samsung support UK::highfive:

Q:

Is it true that samsung is offering free battery replacement for s4 users who are affected by battery swollen and reboot loop issues ?

Anonymoushyd on Galaxy S4 3 weeks, 2 days ago

My s4 battery is draining too quickly and after switching it off and turning it on it constantly restarts but doesnt reach touchwiz home. Done a factory reset but no use. I saw online that samsung said that it would replace the battery for free for affected owners

Possible cause for some loops might be the SD

I lately got some reboot loops on my I9505 (4.2.2 still).

The first few times I wiped it all and started from scratch but it was getting annoying.

I noticed some users stating that removing the SD will fix it and it did, although it does not help if most of your stuff is on the SD card.

The next thing I wanted to investigate is what on or with the SD might have caused the troubles.

a) no damaged sectors or problems found with Windows tools

b) all data could be copied on the HDD

c) SD could be formatted and all previously sved things copied back on the SD

Still once the SD was in and the phone started it was stuck again, but at least a faulty SD was ruled out.

And here comes my first mistake:

I checked the SD and all looked fine, so I wasted a few hours on useless tests.

Much much later I finally found the culprit: one of the ASEC files had been corrupted!

The are stored in a hidden folder ".android_secure" on the SD.

Once the phone get's stuck in this loop the SD will suffer some sort of damage to the data structure caused by the faulty ASEC file.

I turned the phone on without the SD,

formatted the SD again (with the tool from SDCARD.org) and put all data back on,

mounted the SD and checked the menu.

One program was greyed out and claimed it was not installed.

Unmount again, deleted the corresponding ASEC file and restarted the phone - success!

No more loop and after WiFi was eneabled the missing app received an update and was woking again too.

I do realise this problem is not always the cause of the dreaded reboots and loops we might get, but checking for corrupted files with the instructions above might save you a lot of time investigating.

Another thing I noticed is that for some reason the stuff from the SD loads much faster (on the phone) if the SD was formatted in the phone and not in the card reader on the PC.

As possible cuses for thes file corruption I can point to apps crashing and modifications to programs with Lucky patcher or similar while parts of the program are still active in the background - even if it is just the notification part.

I hope this info might help some people here to get their phone working again or maybe even to find a fix for the problem altogether.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadowdh:
the number is actually 03307267864 but yep this works... spoke to the lady on the phone and she said take it into my nearest fixit place and they will replace the battery free... its a known issue... I called the fixit place fyi and they said that the phone would have to be under 6months old as the battery is only covered by the accessory warranty (which I would have argued had my phone not been 5 months old) but as its an issue I am sure they would replace it... now the samsung lady said that independent fixit places would be ok without proof of purchase (although I was asked to bring mine in, but I only have a proof of contract starting which should suffice) mobile phone shops where you bought the phone would prob need it... lets hope this works (btw my battery is also a Chinese made one)...

Only reboot problem

Same problem here. For me is only the reboot problem. But, strange, after I install a new rom official or unofficial the phone working without reboot between 5 - 8 hours, then start to reboot more often like one hour or so. The longest up time that I achieve was with latest nightly Cyanogen mod (approx. 20h). I bought also a chinese spare battery because was coming with a separate charger and was convenient but the same reboots. I have 2 questions:

1. It worth to invest in another original samsung battery?

2. It is possible to know that it's a hardware or software problem? (the phone works flawlessly otherwise)

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

check your battery stats in settings.

Fixed a similar issue.

Hi!

I had the exact same problem of my Galaxy S4 (GT I9500) being stuck in a boot loop.

It kept powering on as soon as I inserted the battery without pressing the power button at all.

I found numerous google results focusing on replacing the power button in a DIY manner but that seemed too much work.

So I just inserted the battery and the phone started with the endless loop again.

I first tried pressing the power button on it's lower half and then it's upper half just to know if it was permanently pressed in. The lower half of the button seemed okay but the upper one seemed a bit less "pressable". So with one of my nails, I just tried to gently pull out the top half of the button from above. (Make sure you don't scratch the silver off your power button).

And Voila! The infini-boot loop stopped happening.

I might replace the power button later, but for now, I'll just be using the lower part of the power button for as long as possible.

Hope this helps someone.

Regards.
