[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oldummy:
After months of Samsung not fixing the known issue, I got mine working again today. Here is what I did, hope any with same problem have similar results. I am not an expert or anything, just finally found a way to get my tablet working again.

I downloaded the Kies program from Samsung website to my pc. I went ahead and used the "Lite" version. Once it recognized my tablet, I had it check for updates. I went ahead and installed the update and the progress screen stalled again and then the tablet rebooted again and still had the same problem not powering off.

So here is what I did different this time after the failed update attempt and it worked!!!!!

I went ahead and force closed the Kies program which was still trying to run with ctrl alt del. I then unplugged the tablet from the computer usb and then plugged it back in.

I restarted Kies Lite and it told me the last attempt failed and if I wanted to use recovery method, so I clicked yes.

It then gave some steps to do to get the process started but they were WRONG! Instead , I disconnected the usb cord, then pressed both the power button and the volume up key for about 15 seconds until the tablet rebooted itself into recovery mode. This booted into a recovery screen which gave a warning about loading custom ROM or something but I went ahead and proceeded anyhow by following the on screen instruction.

I then reconnected the usb cord and then the button to get started was highlighted and able to be clicked, so I clicked start.

And to my surprise it actually finally started updating instead of just sitting there hung up.

I let it continue installing and when the tablet rebooted, I disconnected the usb cord and the tablet was on its way to finish updating and installing the 4.2.2 working update with a power button that finally worked again.

This was my experience I wanted to share with others that are as frustrated as I was, just dont blame me if it doesnt work haha.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oldummy:
Update: I was able to successfully fix my inlaws tablet as well this evening with absolutely no issue. He has read about it and also tried various methods posted everywhere but mine was the only way that worked.

Only download you need is the Samsung Kies program, no need looking for outdated links, unzipping, Odin recovery options, etc. This is to get it back to stock Samsung ROM which currently is the 4.2.2.

Please post up your results if you try it and have a minute, Im curious how many others this works for after spending so much time reading, searching and testing diferent methods.

If you do really want to upgrade after you read the upper report i can help you cause Odin and Heimdall are no more supported and you cant downgrade anymore to 4.2.2

So think about it twice :)

I got 5 buttons in odin and no one says "PDA" i know it's not "PIT" and the other ones are "BL, AP, CP, CSC" i guess it should be "AP" since that button is in the same place as "PDA" should be, and i still get failed when using Heimdall, i have also tried to download root, but since the download speed is so damn low from that site i cant get it... what am i doing wrong?

Hey mate Read this :Edit: Dont root your device you might Void your warranty after updating < its a warning :)

Bro Please remember if you update your phone to newest 4.3, there is no more chance for you to downgrade your system , and if you root/custom your phone / you will Void your Warranty , just like they said on i9506 thread to wait until someone make a custom rom in order NOT to void that warranty for your phone.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaswinky:
You are trying to flash a stock 4.2.2 over a 4.3 knox bootloader!!!! If course you will get error!!!!

Since you have 4.3 knox bootlader, you only can flash stock 4.3 roms. Download the last update for your model from sammobile and reflash again with same process.

Just giving you guys a heads up with the FAOTD from amazon which is Angry Birds Star Wars 2. Along with this free app you get a $5 credit to the amazon app store and when you install the game you get 1000 in game credits for owning a Note 3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kama45:
Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] vvveith:
Remember this about Amazon

Running any Amazon app will not work without their store application installed, and if you check your battery life you will see that just having their apps running on your device whether you use them of not uses enough battery to trigger the alarm in better battery stats. I used to use their app on all my devices but now have just learned to buy them from the play store, in the long run it is much more economical and saves at least 12 percent of battery life per charge. I would not recommend any one using apps from Amazon unless you are so pressed that you cannot support the developer through google play store.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Jfree3000:
Never had they problem with their app or their apps running all the time. Just trying to spread the news, but it's over now. Sorry you have issues with Amazon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kama45:
I've never had any problems. But, FWIW, I Greenify the AppStore. I also think the handful of Amazon apps I use are Greenified
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] thinkjoey:
what is greenified?

Also...you still get $5 credit

I will only use them to get the $5 worth of apps...then back to the google play store
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Rainbowbright081:
I got the 5 credit, but can't seem to be able to use it. Also I didn't get the 1000 credit on the game.

So, my question is about a suggestion size and class for the Droid 4...I had a 2 gb micro sd since I bought it, and know I would like more, mostly for photo and video of the camera and leave internal memory emptier....

I had a Backflip and bigger sd made it slower...

[Motorola Droid 4] berndblb:
I have a 32 gb ScanDisk Ultra class 10 and a class 4 of the same size and see no major advantage of the class 10 card except when copying files from the PC (which I hardly ever do). Neither slows the device in any way.

Same here, I have 64GB UHS1 (SanDisk, had it for over a year), runs without problems.

Naturally indexing for new media databases is slow because of LOTS of data, but I hate media databases anyways and remove apps using them right away...

It's usually only the first run of such apps though.

Never experienced any hardware-related problems with my memory card :)

Hey guys, new to n5 and I dig the stock ROM...would a somewhat stock ROM ie cataclysm be any better..than say stock w/ exposed framework?? I think exposed can give me any tweaks I need...right?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spitefulcheerio:
Better is a relative term.

What is it you're trying to do with your phone?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
many roms arent like really develped roms, people just compile it from whats already made then they add mods, using exposed would be just as good in those cases. but some developers actually develop a rom and fix things, they dont just add mods. those roms would be "better" than just using exposed.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigbear6708:
Just thinking in terms of updates, etc...I find stock is good... Guess I'm wondering if the mods take performance away.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistahseller:
Even though I run cataclysm I would recommend staying stock/ rooted and use xposed and either load Xblast or gravity box.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigbear6708:
Why do you say that? Just looking for discussion... I feel android has matured greatly since GB into ics. I've looked at cataclysm.. Seems to have the stock feel with just the right features
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zerousen:
Really, it's down to what you prefer. I just like to stick to stock rom with xposed modules and a custom kernel like franco.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpower7:
delete
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistahseller:
I say that because there is nothing in cataclysm that I use that isn't available in xposed with gravity box or xblast other than "quicktiles, disables fullscreen keyboard, battery style." As I said nothing not available in xposed. I just don't want to factory reset in all honesty. The only thing I am waiting for with cataclysm is to be able to adjust volume without having to unlock the phone, that is a big gripe of mine.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigbear6708:
Thanks man. I'm the same way.. I'm over the whole factory reset.. I'll look into xposed. And stay stock! Thanks again

Hi

I have a fully legal version of tt5 on my xda2i but I'm of to the US and a friend has given a folder named \theState_map in fact he has given me many of these, I want to try this out and see the level of detail before I by my own copy for future visits.

How do I access the map? I can only see the ones I install that came with the software?

I had tried editing CurrentMap.dat to point at the new map directory but it didn't work. I don't want to put the cracked version on as it is a legal version and I will buy the maps if they are any good.

So what do I need to do to get the folde to work?

I also un sure if it complete as for example colorado is only 17.8mb and 11 files.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] zerimar:
I bought the US maps and used it while I was in Texas and Colorado in the past 3 weeks and would say that it work great.

The full set of US maps comes in 8 CDs. It also includes a Major Roads map (for cross-country driving) and maps for Canada and Puerto Rico.

There are two ways of installing the maps; by regions (i.e. Mid Atlantic, Plains, West, etc), or by states and/or group of states. Since I had a small SD card when I left for the US, I just installed the maps for Texas and Colorado. The other thing I did was to install all maps on my laptop. If ever I needed another map, all I had to do is copy them from my laptop to the SD card, thus no need to bring the original CDs.

I eventually bought a 2gb Sandisk (standard) SD card in BestBuy for a little over a 100 dollars.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] I_Need_help:
Thanks, but what version of TT do you have?

It would seem that TTN5.0 is the only version that works with the US maps! once I down graded I could see them But my BT GPS needs 5.1 to work correctly!

thanks
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] doraemon:
tt5 us map

you need the original/ cop of the setup disc for the us map to work on

ANY

tt5.1 or 5.2. the map your friend had is for Palm.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] zerimar:
I'm using TT5.210 with TT BT receiver. I've read some posts indicating problems with POIs for US maps especially with TT5.2x. I used POIs a lot while I was in Texas since it was my first time and did not encounter any problems. No hangs, no crashes, and no soft resets.

To do the installation for the first time definitely you need the CD's. In the installation routine thre are 3 install options;

1. Directly to the handheld via ActiveSync.

2. To a card in a card reader.

3. Directly to folder in a PC's hard disk.

I've attached a zip file containing screen captures of the map installation routine.

I installed the "maps by region" using option 3 on my laptop and then just copied the map(s) I needed for my trip to my SD card and it worked. That's what I mean by "thus no need to bring the original CDs".

Make sure that bootloader is unlocked and your phone is at least rooted or you have a custom ROM on it. Also check that ADB and Fastboot recognize your device. Before Rumrunner worked on my phone, I had to enable root permissions for ADB from developer settings.
