I tried the charger of the Vario, the charger of my GPS, ... I removed and replaced the battery,...

I have the feeling the battery "decharged" completely after which it's not possible anymore to charge it ... (if should think this is not possible).

On the other hand ... let's say the battery is dead ... is it then normal that the "charge led" doesn't lightt up?

I hope so because otherwise it's not a dead battery but a defect in the Vario and as it's unlocked I cannot return it under warranty (cannot relock it in this situation).

This device is just a couple of weeks old ... :x :x :? :(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] McHale:
I think I read someplace that once the battery is DEAD, you can not charge it via USB and can only charge it with the charger. And once you plug it in, you have to turn it on for it to charge.

Or something like that...

I am trying to move ringtones into the /system/media/audio/ringtones folder, but anything I move there just gets changed to a short beep instead of the actual audio. I downloaded them with Zedge, and these MP3's can be played by the music player, and I have also tried converting into .ogg format. I have also tried using the /sdcard/ringtones folder. What am I doing wrong here?

Note, I am trying to do this because anywhere else I put them, they get changed to the same beep unless I select them using Zedge. I cannot listen to them in the ringtone selection menu when doing this and I would like to uninstall the Zedge app now that I have the ringtones I want.

I am using the Samsung L720 Galaxy S4 rooted running the CM 11 Nightly from 12/13. Stock kernel.

Hi everyone. I'm running a custom rom and have received the OTA update notification. My question is where is the update file located so that I can delete it? I plan to update to a custom 4.4.2 rom so I would like to get rid of the unnecessary file on my phone.

You can get rid of it by renaming the otacerts.zip file. I think it's in /system/etc/security?

I renamed the ota.cert file and rebooted but the notification returned. I ended up tapping on the update and since it was deleted it just went through the motions if rebooting but it never did. I just cleared it from memory and it hasn't returned yet even after a reboot. Thanks for the tips.

So I've been trying to find a good themed MMS for a while now.

I'm using foxhound ROM from the international S4 but with the fix to have it working on the Verizon S4 it kills the MMS from the ROM.

If anyone has the skill to make one themed a black and blue type or knows where one is that will work with our phones please do share.

Thanks in advance :)

Oh and to be clear in case of any confusion, this request is primarily for the Touchwiz version of the MMS apk

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rocksau:
I tried CM11 for a few days. But since pie control is a crap in CM11 I tried to revert to CM10.2

I flashed the JWR66Y bootloader (z20) and radio (.84), then then cm10.2 and the 4.3 gapps.

But after reboot I get a FC (com.android.process.acore stopped) and then a bootloop.

I googled and found out, that this may depend on the way, a newer version stores the contacts. I flashed back to CM11 (working), stopped syncing, deleted the contacts and tried to flash CM10.2 again - same result.

So - is there a way to go back to 10.2?

Hello,

So as you might already know, Google is trying to kill the hard menu button by integrating a soft menu button inside all apps.

Is there a way to disable this? I'm running the latest cyanogen (i9300) and I can't find a way to disable it.

It just takes space and I don't even use it.

Google isn't trying they've succeeded. Phones as of late no longer have hardware but instead on screen ones. But to your question though i think you can only do it if a rom has support to do so.

It will be interesting to see if the 4.3 will fix all the "bugs" from the 4.2 update. I have downgraded to 4.1.2 since I need full screen / correct aspect ratio on MHL, real Tablet UI, and there were also quite a few language/UI errors in my region.

[Sony Xperia L] really_confused:
i wanna buy this phone, but after reading many comments and opinions, am a little confused due to these issues :

1-touch screen sensitivity and multitouch performance

2-call quality; unnatural voices on both ends and average volume in earpiece

3-camera performance in general and especially video recording; low quality and distorted sound(i have seen samples)

4-many firmware bugs like screen tearing, flickering, youtube pixelation and audio coming out of earpiece instead of rear speaker and many other(i know there is an update coming but dunno if it will fix all bugs)

so what do u think guys? what is the truth about those issues and should i buy this phone or not? and could u plz suggest the best alternative in this price range ?

thanksssss
[Sony Xperia L] jmindset:
Same. I really REALLY want to buy this since it has great specs for a midrange/low phone. But I heard very mixed reviews on it.
[Sony Xperia L] :
1. I've been on 4.1, 4.2 & 4.4 and I don't have problems with this.

2. I don't call that much but I have also no problems with this.

3. The stock camera app on 4.2 is sh*t, I'm using Camera ZOOM FX and it works perfect.

4. Yeah there are a few bugs on 4.2, removing the pre installed bloatware helps.

Most of these problems are firmware related. Sony has released AOSP binaries last week and we already have AOSP, OMNI, AOSPA and soon CM. So most of the firmware problems will be patched in these third-party roms.
[Sony Xperia L] ShinOrochiX:
Did you post something similar on the Sony Mobile forums, if so I guess this is your post.

Just refer to my answer, I am an everyday user running the stock firmware, no custom mods or anything, so you won't get a more honest opinion than this.

Good/better alternative? Forget the Galaxy Ace's I said, go for the Moto G, you will not get a better phone at this price bracket + it runs AOSP android so little/no bugs.

So this is what happened to me, I was using SlimCM (CM 9 Android 4.0.4) and the suddenly the phone stopped working, I removed the battery, put it again and started the phone, I was very surprised because i lose everything, it seems like I did wipes (but i din't), the phone worked horrible, the screen never goes off (I locked the phone and the srceen remains black), and the battery drained a lot (Because of the screen).

After that I Reinstalled the ROM, I did wipes and nothing, the phone remains the same, so I did something stupid, in Recovery in advanced and I formated System (Or Data, I'm nopt sure). After that I tried to flash some roms and always i got error 7. I fix permissions and remains the same, So I decided to flash Gingerbread, and that worked, the phone works, but now, is terribly slow (And I remmember that gingerbread was faster) and I realized that in running services, the total ram is 292RAM And I remmember that normally is 379MB (In ICS) Is this normal in Gingerbread?

So, I'm not sure what can I do. Could anyone help me?

Thanks!

Let me get this straight, you cannot flash GB only, not ICS or a custom ROM?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ArtBcn:
This is strange... I use to wipe and to format everything before install a new rom. And I never seen this.

I suggest to you to wipe and format (even twice) everything again from GB (you are now on GB), then try to flash ICS rom with SUS/PcComp/Flashtool and install CWM, then wipe and format everything. After that, try to flash ICS again and see if it works.

I'll give you all the info I can as this has all happened since last night.

Yesterday I was bored, and decided to Root my SGH-I747M [Virgin Mobile, runs off Bell I believe] I used to jailbreak my apple products all this time, my S3 is getting old so I figured heck why not. I was curious about all the Kit Kat hubbub lol.

I Rooted it successfully, then installed the CyanogenMod 4.4 Nightly Custom Rom onto my phone.

That was also successful minus two things that happened, I don't like some of the features & I lost cell service [NOT due to and EFS/IMEI issues]

Decided to downgrade and unroot as the only reason for rooting was to install Kit Kat.

Unfortunately trying to Unroot something went wrong, after pushing start in Odin and my phone froze in Download Mode and Odin failed.

After rebooting my phone I got the typical "Firmware upgrade encountered a problem" so I hooked up to Kies, entered my phone model and s/n and did a full Firmware recovery.

Still had no cell service, could make calls but no SMS.

Found a post that said to take out battery, take out SIM card, boot, then take battery out, replace SIM and reboot.

I believe I have full service back with no issues.

But after the Kies recovery, I have this constant screen on my phone as picutred in the attachment!

I can use my phone, I can touch anything/everything it doesn't block anything thats behind it, but that screen stays. It goes away if I need to go into settings but it comes back shortly. My phone is also still set as "custom" in the info so I'm assuming it's still Rooted???
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smashleyxh:
Update: A friend of mine suggest doing another Kies recovery. So I'm waiting for that now.

And I'm not sure if it's still rooted, Went to settings>More>About Device>Status> And Device Status reads Official.
