That's for entering in CWM (as far as i know).

I tried also a Hard Reset according to this: http://www.hard-reset.org/factory-d...er-format-lenovo-s820-with-safety-hard-reset/

useless..for me, i'm tired.. so much readings.. thanks anyway
[Miscellaneous Android Development] M3n0:
Well if you can enter cwm you can restore backups or reinstall an official rom
[Miscellaneous Android Development] LoverOfLife:
The root of the problem came from installing CWM with SP Flash, i don't remember exactly what happend (errors in SP Flash), then connecting again 2 message in windows: device not recognized. Then i tried to turn on..and that's it and i'm stuck..not booting. I wanted KitKat.. Sorry for my poor english
[Miscellaneous Android Development] M3n0:
Try to reinstall cwm with spflash. When you load recovery check DL option and uncheck everything except recovery. Dont forget to pull in and out battery. After that you can flash kitkat. You can find thr official rom on their page rom.lenovo.com. hope it helps

I'm having trouble with this phone and it's partition. It comes with 1.20gb free for apps and it gets full very fast. Is there any way to repartition my 4GB model or use linksd with an external sd?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] HitNrun_:
Hi guys, could really need some help with lenovo s820. my friend had a problem with his s820 so he gave it to me to flash an other rom. after i tryed to install a rom via cwm and saw it faled i restored the backup it did earlier. After it finished i powered the phone but it didnt even went to bootloader, it stuck at lenovo logo so i took the battery off and tryed to flash a custom rom via sp flash tool. After i succeed (green circle) the phone didnt even start! I tryed everything, push vol buttons etc but nothing. It even wasnt recognized by my pc so i followed a guide from a xda member about fixing the drivers. now it is recognized and i can flash via flash tool even if it doesnt start but when ever i try to flash something it gives me the same eror s_ft_enable_dram_fail (4032). i searched on google and i saw people saying it was a wrong preloader instalation so the only way it to turn the phone back. I dont believe that i have to send it back, there has to be a way how to fix this, does anyone here know how? i sent a message to the seller to send me the original firmware but im asking for more info.. Please help me out here :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] M3n0:
Go couple of posts back and you will find I posted a link in cases like yours where you will find the fullproof guide to flashing it back to stock 4.2.1 from there you can either upgrade to kitkat or search a custom rom. I tried a couple of ROMs and they aren't very reliable. Also take notice if your friends S820 is a Chinese (CN) or iternational (ROW) version.

@jastonas: if you're still on JB yes there is. Search for a zip called repartition lenovo s 720 which is a slightly different version than s 820 but worked just fine for me. If you're on kitkat the partitions have been merged and there is not much you can do (as far as i know).

SP Flash Error

Hi all,

I starting getting a little despaired. I tried almost everything but I cannot write the images to the phone. Following this guide I get error 4001 (pic attached). I've tried different versions of SP flash tool, different PC with different Drivers, always I get error. I get the same error when I try to readback, too.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WishMonster:
Hey, I'm new to XDA (I have read rules),

My brand new device (I have it only a week and half):

Nexus 5 D820 310K, 4.4

I felt once big bump in battery percentages (52%>>28%) on 4.4.2 after a restart of my device. after this incident I noticed few more small bumps (3% jump to 4 and back to 3...)

First I blamed 4.4.2 so I flashed 4.4 and calibrate the battery, here what GSAM reports now:

when it reached to 60% its started to jump between 60% and 61% five times in 17 mins

on 13% its start settle to 12%>>11%>>12%>>13%>>14%

after both cases it backed to the normal route of decrease until the next time..

*I ignored the lack of indicator of the 28% and 59% in GSAM. (its a bug as far as I know)

Is my battery defective and I need RMA?

How can I be sure its the battery's fault and not in the chip which monitor it? (May the monitor is built in the battery?)

if its the battery's fault Brand new battery can help instead of RMA?

Thanks!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xBeerdroiDx:
have you tried wiping the cache from the stock recovery or even possibly a factory reset (also from recovery)? i'd start there before i'd consider an rma.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WishMonster:
^^

When I flashed 4.4 from 4.4.2 I have opened the bootloader in the first time so I actually totally wiped my device include cache - Am I right?

If this wipe is "count" it haven't helped me...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
its normal behavior.

and sometimes when using the phone heavily, the battery % will drop, then when you put the phone down, youll notice the battery % rise slowly. thats not the phone, but the coding for the battery stats. its always been that way on android, ever since the first g1.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WishMonster:
^^

Are you sure? I have never noticed similar incident on my nexus 4/7
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yes. the past 5 years of android ive seen it too many times, and have had fun with it many times(ghost charge). its very common when flashing mods to see it occur, and when benchmarking at high cpu speeds. but it happens often after a plain old reboot as well. it "ghost" charges ti make itself accurate again when its not accurate.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aria807:
I noticed last night my battery tanked. I didn't even use my phone. I'm very conscious of my battery life and I monitor it often. So I had no notable wakelocks at all. Battery dropped from 95% down to 45% within a 3-4 hours idling. Less than 10-15 min screen on time.

Odd thing was, I plugged it in the charger and it charged back to full within 20-30 min. Something definitely is up with the percentage readouts.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WishMonster:
So what you say is that's luck that I haven't noticed same phenomenon on my other devices?

By your permission, I would like to some more opinions :)

May I just freak out after the giant drop in 4.4.2 and 4.4 is ok... - anybody felt similar drop on 4.4.2?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt_not_andrew:
I noticed this on the first two days of owning my N5. I updated to 4.4.2 straight away and then saw the slight increases on the battery report. I'm running stock and it only happened on the first two days. I love this phone but man do I miss my GS3 and 4400mah battery.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WishMonster:
Well, Am I the only on to notice this kind of problem?

In the past few day I haven't felt big drop on 4.4 and actually the battery acts pretty good about 3.5~4 hours of screen 14 hours of standby - probably simms22 is right.

May there is something to 4.4.2 update to it? (some friends told me that their batteries acts weird on 4.4.2 too)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
just so you know, i can reproduce this. its happened on every device ive had since android 1.0. on the nexus 4 it actually was a big problem for some. it would drop 30-70% for some after benchmarking, and some phones would think that the battery level went below 0%, then wouldnt boot up until the battery was removed then put back in(lg fixed the issue though). if you heard of the "red light of death", that was one of the causes. for me it would drop 30-70% after benchmarking, but never went below 1%. then after a reboot or two, the battery level was accurate again.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WishMonster:
simms22,

Thank you very much,

after few days I haven't felt any big drops (4.4).

GSAM reports that there is sometimes small bumps from 60 to 61 and then back to 60 but its nothing serious (probably its happened on my Nexus 4 too but I haven't noticed).

We are done here :D

P.S.:

Do you know why sometimes I get a notification about bug report: "hammerhead-user 4.4 KRT16M 893XX3 release-keys"? I would be more than happy to know.

In addition do you recommend to re-update to 4.4.2 even though all the battery bugs started right after the update?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you get the bug report with a combo button press(i dont remember what buttons as its removed from my rom(power plus another i think). but i remember i kept getting them on my n4 until it was removed). and reupdating wont help, you can try if you want as it wont hurt either.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
GS3 has a 2100 mAh battery not 4400. If you're saying you had need for and were using an external battery then what is there to miss I don't understand. Any phone can use an external battery or battery case.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
heres an obvious drop then rise, just as an example. its from bencmarking at high cpu speeds. i was benchmarking, hit the cpu shutdown temp, rebooted automatically, and booted up near 80% less than the battery % was when i rebooted. then, without plugging in, the battery "magically" charged itself a bit, trying to go back to where it should be. and if i didnt keep using the phone, it would eventually equalize. this is an extreme example, but its the same as with yours. with use, battery drop, sometimes it drops a little more than it should. so it tries to go back to where it should be.

I am new to this forum, and I expect I posted on the correct forum (I cannot post on the development related forums).

I am new to Android and to Kernel development, but I would like to test some things. I just finished compiling the first version of my modified kernel, and put it in a phone. Obviously, it doesn't work. How can I debug the kernel on the mobile phone?

I'm working over a Nexus 5 (MSM architecture, Linux 3.4.0 based). The .config used is the one by default (hammerhead_defconfig). When the kernel is booted, it only shows the Google screen, and stops there, forever.

I tried (with a working boot image) changing the 'console' parameter when generating the image with mkbootimg (tty, tty0, ttyHSL0), and I tried with different .config options as MSM_SERIAL_DEBUGGER (compilation error), FIQ_DEBUGGER (compilation error) and SERIAL_MSM (compiled, but no difference, no new devices in /dev on my computer). I tried with kgdb, following this, but I could not make the patches work for my architecture. Any idea?

Almost all roms out there are fairly stable AFAIK so it could be a hardware issue.

Here my question, has anybody faced screen rotation problem?

I'm running cyanogenmod 10.2.

My screen often turns itself when I'm using an app, but my auto rotation is off and when i want to turn it back to normal it doesn't work, only solution is to press home button and then he just goes back to normal to the homescreen.

It happens on cyanogenmod 10.2 and omnirom 4.3 (think it does also on other cm versions)

How can I fix this problem?

Thanks.

SOLUTION: Go to Samsung Galaxy Advanced settings (not the usual settings) and uncheck Use Calibration Data, then calibrate.

Anyone else get a call from Tmobile?

They are looking into whether or not the phone was fraudulently purchased, I don't like the sound of this.

The rep said there is nothing I need to do now, but I should have my receipts and all that in order. I don't know what this means, but it's a bad sign. =(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Fox.Hound:
What?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] noobtoob:
Did you verify the call was actually from t-mobile? Also, you contact Negri? I personally have not dealt with them, but I would suggest verifying t-mobile truly called me and then taking it up with Negri.

tweaking my note 3-alpha style
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kawaisa:
Unless some third party tapped into Negri's customer database, it's most likely T-Mobile.

Can't say that I'm surprised something like this would happen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] explodingboy70:
Actually be very careful who you speak to. Anyone Know whitehawkx, Dev on vibrant/S2 and others, anyway he just tweeted today that someone hacked his T-mobile acct, by saying they were T-mo and asked him to do a survey. Just be careful the info you give out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] neoWhite:
Thanks for the warning and I certainly hope it isn't some scam trying to get my information.

But I'm pretty sure it was Tmobile's number (800-937-8997) that was on my caller id and when I called it back it directs to Tmobile customer service. I'm pretty sure it is Tmobile. I've already contacted Negri to see what they say.

I hope this all works out and that I can keep my phone and not get blacklisted.

Just for further information:

They asked where I bought the phone and I told them Negri and how much I paid for it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Flippy125:
It IS possible to spoof a caller ID so that is nothing to go by. I could call you from your bank's phone number and play the old game of social engineering to get your account information the same way. What may have happened is that the Note was stolen or is within the same batch of phones that may have had a shipment stolen. I can't see T-Mobile locking you out of your own phone over this as long as you have a proof of purchase
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
Can't imagine anyone calling me and asking for that info and getting any kind of answer from me.

Nice phishing attempt. Caller ID can be spoofed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] noobtoob:
^^ Yes, this is why I asked if you verified it was truly t-mobile. You can call them back. If they called you, it will be noted in your account. But I do not answer ANYONE, who calls and asks me something. If someone calls me, I will hang up, then call the company after getting the name of the person that supposedly called me. If they have it noted that there is some important information that needs to be discussed, great, but otherwise it is always a terrible idea to answer anything from anyone without verifying. Hell, when you call them they make you give them a pin, answer security questions, etc... There is a reason they protect your identity, I would hope you like to protect yourself from someone else.

Sorry for the rant, I know a few people that have been caught by this type of stuff, and being in the military, they ingrained the "social engineering" aspect into me, so I am cautious about everyone who calls me. But, I am basically saying to be careful. So give them a call and ask them if they called you. This way at least you'll know if it is a legitimate claim or not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] neoWhite:
Well thanks for all that. I will try and be more careful. But if it were someone phishing I don't know what they would do with that information -- seems pretty random to me. I didn't even tell them how much exactly I paid for it -- just gave them an estimation.

I verified with Tmobile, it was a rep that called me as noted in my account -- but they did not specifically say what that matter was.

But again, thanks for your tips guys -- I will be far more cautious next time. This is a good lesson for me to never be caught off guard.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] noobtoob:
That's good to hear. Probably because there are a ton of fake note 3's out there, and they want to make sure you didn't get one of those. They can always seem real enough, or as Flippy125 said, the shipment may have been lost or stolen, then sold without knowledge to vendor. Hope all is well though.

tweaking my note 3-alpha style
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
It might have something to do with the fact that Negri seems to be selling (or at least has sold) phones that were later blocked by T-Mobile (i.e. they were buying used phones and selling them as new). It's in a thread that I started when I order from Negri (and later cancelled). T-Mobile might be investigating that. I have no proof of that, it's just a theory.

Damn dude, that's crap. Why is it blacklisted?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] neoWhite:
According to an IMEI check, it's blacklisted most likely due to nonpayment. Meaning whomever Negri purchased the phone from -- they didn't pay off the remaining balance of that phone. At least that's my guess.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Steve Lazarus:
That should fall back on Negri, if they want to maintain their business anyway. Otherwise I'd be pursuing legal action, which IMO, they wouldn't have a leg to stand on.. Guess it's up to them at this point.. Have you spoken with Negri, what's their position?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] neoWhite:
I contacted Negri and they told me to RMA it. Has this happened to anyone else before?

Also just in an attempt to go beyond Negri, I tried contacting my CC and Paypal about it but they couldn't dispute the charges given the length of time (about 2 months) since the purchase date.

So far, it seems my only resort is hope that Negri takes care of this.

Btw, I contacted Tmobile and they asked me to write the Legal Department a letter if I want to submit and/or ask for further details.
