[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adil1508:
Hey Guys,

Let me get one thing clear. THIS IS NOT A QUESTION THREAD. Just something that happened and scared the living daylights outta me but now I have my Nexus 4 back to how it was before this happened

So I noticed that my battery stats weren't accurate. It would suddenly drop 5% or something. It bugged me for some reason and so I thought that the battery needed recalibration. I downloaded an app from the play store ( BatteryCalibration ) and followed its instructions to charge my phone upto 100% and then press the calibrate button. The app claims to delete the batterystats.bin system file so that your phone generates a new one and supposedly your battery is now calibrated.

Anyways, I did try it a couple times but it seemed that it didnt work. I would still get sudden 5% drops. I searched around XDA and read somewhere that you should fully discharge your phone and then plug it into the charger and turn it on. This causes the battery to recalibrate. It seemed fairly straightforward and I decided to give it a go

So I discharged my phone fully, till it shut down. Then plugged it into the charger. The screen turned on with the charging symbol ( a white battery with a power sign inside ) and then it began charging. ( NOTE: NO RED LEDS AT THIS POINT )

PROBLEMS:

I left it for a couple minutes before turning it on. It seemed to boot up fine. The Google logo came along with the small unlocked padlock ( indicating an unlocked bootloader ), my custom bootanimation came up and then the LED turned red ( no flashing ) the screen was on but black. The phone was stuck. I waited over 10 minutes to make sure that it really was stuck, and it was. The LED was red because I was using Carbon Rom and if the battery is below 14%, the charging light turns red.

SOLUTION ATTEMPTS:

For some reason, it scared the **** outta me. I turned it off, got into recovery and dirty flashed the nightly I was using. Simultaneously, I was googling it and read alot of threads on the red light of death and people giving solutions wud tell u to wipe everything, pull data through adb. OR open up the Nexus and rewire it or something.

Anyways, when I booted up after wiping both caches, It booted up to a point where I got the "Android is updating: starting apps" PHONE STUCK

Next I wiped both caches. Android optimized all my apps ( building the dalvik cache ) and then got stuck on the 'starting apps' part.

Finally, I wiped everything and used a not-so-recent recent nandroid backup and THATS what finally got it working. YAY!

Sorry for this thread being this long but the ONLY POINT of it was to provide a solution to people who arent really facing the red light of death syndrome. They might go ahead and try those solutions ( which arent wrong ) and may end up doing things which are unnecessary.

I felt it was my duty as a member of XDA to report this. If I have wrongly posted, the mods may delete this thread. I just wanted to help out
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] TontoDroid:
I recently dropped my phone which caused a hairline fracture just through the top portion of the glass. Enough to also break the LCD underneath.

I want to sell the phone to subsidize for the next phone, so I need to data wipe the phone (Sorry, I'm in college but also working to save up money).

I'm not very sophisticated as most here, but I am familiar with using Odin as I think that is my only option here without a screen. I think I can get to the download screen blind. Is that true?

I know the phone is working you just can't see anything. Everything but the screen works - the alarm rings, I get notifications, emails, texts, etc.

Should I use Odin to flash a new ROM to wipe the phone? Can anyone please direct me to a working ROM link?

Thanks, guys!...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Wolgast1:
Hello I have a friend working for sprint as a technician. to do a data wipe without the screen, you need to press and hold the power button and the volume up key.

and also, if your phone was activated on your sprint phone #, make sure to swap the device, so when you sell it. the buyer will be able to activate on their phone number as well. it has to be a clean ESN / IMEI

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] TontoDroid:
Volume up and power button doesn't wipe data. Do you mean boot into recovery and wipe from there? You need the screen to really see what is going on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bgibs1:
Volume down + power will get you to download mode so you can ODIN... then you have to hit volume up to get past the warning message( somebody smarter chime in if Im wrong) then you could ODIN firmware or recoveries
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] TontoDroid:
Actually, I was finally able to do this, but ODIN doesn't seem to be wiping the data. My alarm etc still rings!!!

When I click on the middle button (play/pause) of a 3-button headset it always pulls up the phone call log. How do I cause it to play/pause the active music app? I tried using "Headset Button Controller" and assigned the specific music app to the middle button, but that didn't change the behavior.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ffjwhite:
Ok, been looking through the forums for awhile and now I am in need of some help. I am getting the Verizon Yellow Triangle saying I am using software not supported by Verizon Wireless. The only thing I can do is get my phone into download mode. I am not able to get it into recovery mode.

What I was trying to do was install Modified Drive Link for my S3 to work on my AR3. I rooted my phone using odin3 v1.85. Everything went great and didnt have any problems. Now after I did that I installed everything I needed to do get ready to install Mod Drive Link. Now it said I needed to root my phone which I had and I also needed to De-Odexed ROM. I started to install the ROM through Rom Manager and everything was going great until the phone restarted and immediately got the Yellow Triangle. Now I tried going into recovery mode and it starts to load and the yellow triangle comes up again. Now can only go into download mode and here is what the following says on it:

Odin Mode

Product Name: SCH-I535

Custom Binary: Yes (3 Counts)

Current Binary: Custom

System Status: Custom

Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable

Now I just need to be able to get my phone back to work. All help would be greatly appriciated and if someone can help me to get the Mod Drive link to work that would be great as well. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ffjwhite:
after i made the post I did find a guide on how to restore to factory and it worked. When I searched it I was coming up blank. If someone could still help me with my MMod Drive Link that would be great. Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
I can't help you with the Drive Link thing but I can tell you that you got that unauthorized software detected triangle because you didn't unlock your bootloader.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr mystery:
Hi guys, I am wondering if any of you have RMA'ed a Nexus 5 that was reflashed to stock and fastboot oem lock and left the tampered flag intact?

I recently RMA'ed my N5 and reflashed back to stock with Google factory images and used fastboot oem lock to relock the bootloader but I wasn't aware that Google is flagging the unlock's now so I am concerned I am going to be charged for the replacement because the warranty is void.

Any of you returned using only oem lock after unlocking and rooting?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicecuber:
Yeah read lots of people getting double charged

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr mystery:
Yeah this has been my fear, thanks for replying.

I haven't opened the replacement so I'll wait to see what comes of it. Worse case scenario I'll return the replacement and ask for my return back.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marleyfan61:
I would think that for Google to refuse a warranty return bases upon an unlocked bootloader they would have to: A. Make it clear that unocking the bootloader voids the warranty 2. Be able to demonstrate a clear connection between the unlocked bootloader and the reason for the return. ie a phone being returned due to loose buttons should not be refused because the bootloader was unlocked. There is no possible cause and effect.

I can't rememeber when I unlocked the bootloader if there was a warning that it would void the warranty. If so does it say MAY void, or WILL void? Anyone?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
Hmm - didn't realize this was happening. Do you happen to have a link to a thread/post where people got charged for that or got warranty denied?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr mystery:
It says "may void" not will. But LG warranty states "will void" so, its a little unclear. That's why I was looking for advice or reply from someone who's done a return.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notfaded1:
I've heard of people returning N5....

I've heard of people returning N5 that was still rooted and unlocked and even got their replacement without any charge. I'm not sure there is a hard and fast rule but I'd like to know if there was?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr mystery:
You and me both, this flagging "tampered" is new it'd be nice to know what we can and can't do exactly
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricey1986:
Can anyone link to the thread about the tampered flag??
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr mystery:
So I've been in touch with another ember who RMA'ed using fastboot oem lock and his warranty was honoured. I'll update my post once I find out what happens with my return as well.

[Q] "insert Disk" Dialog Shows Up When Accessing The Phone File System From Windows

I have Samsung Galaxy S i9000 with CyanogenMod 10.1.3, with no external SD card, Android debug mode disabled.

I have a desktop computer with Windows 8.1 on which I installed the Samsung USB Drivers 1.5.27.0.

When I plug the phone to one of the computer USB ports:

- in Windows Explorer two removable disks show up, both of the are grayed out;

- on the phone a message appears from the notification bar telling me the USB is connected;

- when I tap on the "Turn on USB storage" button one of the removable disks in Windows Explorer gets enabled (that is, it's not grayed out anymore);

- in Windows Explorer, when I try to access that disk, a dialog pops up with the message "Please Insert a Disk into Removable Disk".

What can I do to fix this problem and access the files on the phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
Try a different PC, 8.1 may be the issue here or just reboot your phone into CWM recovery and Mount as USB storage to see how it goes.

[Sony Tablet S] das_hutch:
Hey guys,

love your forum, looks like you're pretty good so I'm really hoping you can help me out here!

I got a Xperia Tablet S which worked perfectly until last night: the screen wouldn't turn back on and after charging for the enitre night, the tablet got stuck at the Sony logo.

I then wiped the enitre devicet (PWR, Vol +), and it shows wipe completed. However on reboot, the device will still hang at the sony logo.

I just want the old 4.1.1. back running which was working just fine. Is there any way I can get the software to run it on my SD card to try and boot/update the tablet via the card?

I very very much appreciate any help!

Thanks, David

Hi everyone!

As someone posted this link in the CM 11 thread, I decided to check it out Mod edit Link removed

According to that page(translated through google translate) there are no bugs. *nothing on vid cam, call queality!*

Unfortunately, when trying to flash the rom, it gives a black screen. Unlike others on that page that successfully manage to flash it.

Someone try to flash it and check if the current bugs we get on CM11 are there.

BAM is a taboo in xda. And I don't think they could have solved the issues but if they actually did. We can use it.

Hi,

I checked the link and as a conclusion :

- not sure the op owned i9500 because he publied many threads in differents devices' sections.

-in all the feed back there was, no one said that he successfully flashed the bam rom.

-Anyway we can interact with one of the team who released bam rom via twitter. [MENTION=4477162]iGio90[/MENTION]

to get BAM ROM working on 19500, u have to flash a compatible kernel with aosp 4.4 or cm-11.0

Does anyone here know where i can get a compatible kernel with aosp 4.4 or cm-11.0 thnx:)
[Galaxy S 4 General] gp545:
Ask in ROM Switcher thread :) May Grarak able to help you to get 4.4 compatible Kernel :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Grarak:
I won't support this rom

It's a no go to talk about that here at XDA
[Galaxy S 4 General] luisfer21069:
the developer and his work has being ban form Xda because he broke a bunch of rules. So, i suggest to try to ask the develper of the rom about issues you have and beware of the consequences of it, and avoid mentioning this rom around here because you might as well get some kind of warning from moderators
[Galaxy S 4 General] gp545:
No sir, not asking for support this ROM. Wanted an AOSP 4.4 compatible Kernel & thought you might able to provide a updated ramdisk Perseus Kernel. :angel:
[Galaxy S 4 General] nish983:
i tried CM11 kernel but didnt boot up.
[Galaxy S 4 General] gp545:
Ok.. :)

Then it's time stop bumping this thread :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] pippideniro:
apologies guys!

actually i wasn't aware that the developer of bam rom has been banned from XDA, now that i am aware i ain't gonna discuss anything more about this ROM here;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] a2441918:
Mods please close the thread
[Galaxy S 4 General] gp545:
No foul language please. Do respect everyone here in XDA.

Here is why;

1. ROM isn't booting

2. Developer of the ROM is not giving any support here on XDA or anywhere else (If checked more closely).

3. No other developer supporting this ROM to make this work.

So what's the use of this thread? Better to be closed to avoid useless posts & discussions right?
[Galaxy S 4 General] E.Cadro:
The dev who created bam rom has been banned from xda and as such any discussion regarding his roms is not allowed on xda.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msarmad:
Hi All ,

Sorry for starting a new thread but only to confirm that there is currently no way we can have any cutomrom like DN3 on a note 2 (international) which got an 4.3 MK4 update official not leaked with knox boot loader.

It is possible to root the official and kill the knox app but we cannot have any other rom ?

Thanks for reading and much appreciate if some one confirm this please.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akp.ajinkya:
Custom roms based on MK4 are available and you can also install them,but you will have the same mk4 bootloader and of course you will void your warranty.

Are you shure that you phone doesn't boot. I'm on Ketans rom. The first boot takes over 10minutes. At first i tought there is an issue. But after waiting it boots up.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akp.ajinkya:
Hmm..well a rom takes some time to boot properly as stated by tyrunus.So you should wait for sometime after flashing the rom.

I m using tamirda's phoenix rom and it does boot properly.you may also try this rom.

What is the error you are getting?Does it bootloop or stuck at boot?

Also try this super wipe script:http://d-h.st/fWr before flashing the rom.

I found this script from tamirda's thread.Hope it helps you too.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] chrissyboy6969:
Am i the only one who thinks all cases are rubbish, the device is perfect size wise but not safe to use everyday in its undressed condition as i dont want to damage the screen. Screen protectors i have tried are crap to fit and look awful on with air bubbles ever where. Cases make the device too bulky and hard to use, HP have the best solution with the plastic flip screen that goes over the top of the screen like the 6500 series so you dont get marks all over the screen when using the phone and it protects the unit when its in your pocket without taking up much space, why cant we have one of those on this device it would be the perfect solution

:(

You can't have it all

The five hundred euro I paid for the Wizard does not come by easy and thats why I use the case to protect my investment.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
manufacture one, or have one manufactured ;)

There's a small indentation around the screen where a very thing plastic protector could fit. Or you could put it against the screen if you're careful enough not to let anything get inbetween :> Problem is, where would you make it hinge - and where would you attach/clip the hinge to the wizard? I'm not really spotting any convenient place to do so (forget about the antenna / anything at the back - remember that the screen slides out from the bottom area with the keyboard). Can't clip it over the top area, as you'll obscure the buttons, the speaker and the LEDs (though you could keep an eopening for the last two, you can't really have an opening for the keys as that would make the construction very fragile).
