While that is true, we are not responsible or required to help. Everything you need is easily accessible and available to you. You need to make the effort.

I'm the weakest link? Yet I have thousands of posts and over 1500 thanks. You on the other hand have less that 500 posts and less the 70 thanks. On top of that I have previously held the title of Recognized Contributor. Only was it lost due to a misunderstanding. Shall I call in [MENTION=4353001]Naddict[/MENTION]? He is a mod and will say the exact same thing as I have said.

How but this? If the OP can't take the time to browse the front pages of both the QA and General sections, I nor anyone else will have the time to help.

All this time wasted could have been time spent searching and gaining answers and in the future. Instead of being a helpless mooch, one could become a contributing member of this site.

Furthermore, SpiritFyre, you provided absolutely nothing to this thread. So why did you bother commenting? Was it to help or to flame? I was not being mean. I provided a legitimate answer in hopes that the OP would benefit themselves. Yet they want to be lazy and you want to say I am mean and am the weakest link.

Here is the deal. You, Spirit have provided little to this community since 2008. I have been here for only a few years and have provided more than quadruple what you have over many devices to include some that we have never even had forums for. If anyone has any say here on what I should do, it is me or a mod. Not you. Your unoriginal insult bares absolutely no possible help to the OP. At least I told them the exact section to look in, while you sit here and babble off old sayings and a line from the weakest link. And the OP needs to search. There are literally 3 sections with the answer. The general section that has a thread with a link to MY SS QA thread, the development section again has a thread with a link to my thread and the QA section that has *gasp* my SS QA thread. All of them are literally on the first page of each section.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jumpintosh:
Hello there,

I am using S4 Revolution V12 right now,but the problem exists from V7,when I installed the rom for the first time.

When I navigate to settings -> Language & Input,and going to add Greek for example alongside English an error pops up saying "Download Failed."

I get the same error for most of the languages, the only ones that I can get is Spanish,English (UK),English(US),German and some more.

I have tried deleting keyboard cache and data.

The rom is fresh installed so I haven't done any settings that conflict keyboard.

Please help.

Thanks in advance,

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

I would like to seek advice, is it possible to reinstall Android 4.3 after OTA update from 4.1.2.

If reinstallation is possible, do i just need to use Odin v3.09 to install or do i need to root it before reinstall android 4.3?

The reason for this, i would like to have a clean installation of 4.3 rather than firmware update from 4.1.2 to 4.3

Regards,

Knightfox
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] BLT24:
I just recently bought the poetic slimline case and as much as I love it, the magnetic field created by the magnets in the case is 500ut which the Android Sensor Box app is showing anything over 150ut is bad . Will this cause long term effects on the hardware with that strong of a field? I have no idea about any of this other than strong magnets are bad on any electronics. I just want to know if anyone who has used this case for a while if they have noticed any problems with their device? Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Edit: I did a little digging and i found some good stuff. First off a field of 500uT or 0.0005T is about the strength of an ordinary fridge magnet. Tech these days need to be within about 1.25T or 1350000uT (the strength of a magnet inside of an HDD) for any damage to occur. So I guess we can rest assured that the only things these magnets will do is confuse the sensor. Im sure no magnets in any case are that strong so I wouldn't worry about it anymore. Thanks everyone for the help! :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] BLT24:
I guess no one has had any issues then? Thanks for everything :)

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] username4this:
I have been wondering this aswell.

If the magnetic fields created by the magnets would cause screen issues.

I have an Asus VersaSleeve for my Nexus and it has magnets...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jfriend33:
I am noticing screen sensitivity issues when my tablet is laying flat and resting on the folded up cover... Hmm... Guess I'll take it off and if they go away it's the magnets.

If I hold the tablet in my hand there are no issues even with the cover on
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] yelloeye:
The magnet shouldn't cause any problems.

Jfriend, the problem you ate experiencing is a problem with the touchscreen itself. There's a thread on it somewhere around here.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lampthis:
I'm using one of those Poetic cases with no issues.

The Google Play Store is also selling their Folio cases for the Nexus 7

with the Wake / Sleep feature.

They probably wouldn't be selling it if they thought the magnets would be a problem.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] BLT24:
I would agree with you but with the 2013 nexus they moved it to the lower left side of the device. Its on the opposite side of the battery. The magnet inside the device doesn't even get picked up by the sensor so its placed in a spot where it wont do any harm. The issue I'm talking about are the 2 magnets that hold the case shut. I dont see any on the official folio. They are strong magnets and they work well for their purpose. Im just curious what kind of effects this has on the device long term. I guess ill find out eventually if its harmful lol.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lampthis:
I've also been using a pouch with a strong magnetic closure on my cellphones for the past few years. Never had any problems.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] purephysics:
I've been experiencing exactly the same thing. I also have a case with magnetic parts on it, it's a blue-tooth keyboard case and there are 4 small magnets that hold the keyboard in place and 1 on the back that hold the stand in place.

When I have the tablet flat or on the stand I quite often have problems with touchscreen response, however if i pick the tablet up and hold it vertically it's fine. I am as yet undecided if it is the case or the tablet itself. I have heard of screen issues with the N7. but primarily the issues seem to be multitouch and ghost touch related.

I did have a case for my Galaxy Note that has a strong magnetic clasp and that did effect the screen, once I dumped the case for a non magnetic one it was fine.

It stands to reason that magnetic fields will effect electronic devices given their operation and the fact that any electrical current creates a magnetic field and two opposing fields... well we've all done the reverse poles trick with magnets haven't we.

Just got a Nexus 7 and a Poetic Slimline case for Christmas.

I don't know about long term issues, but I do know it does affect the functionality of some apps. SkEye is nearly unusable with the case on.

Hi Everyone,

I do know how to flash a new rom however I had issues flashing from stock 4.1.2 to custom 4.2.2 before (device wouldn't pass the boot screen). So do I have to be on a specific 4.1.2 rom to upgrade or I need to upgrade to a stock 4.2.2 first and then upgrade to a custom one?

Please recommend a fast 4.2.2 custom rom. I would like to keep dual sim feature if possible although I know most roms only support single sim.

My current rom info:

4.1.2

Baseband: I9082XXAMC4

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] raghavsharmaxda:
simple one line if want dual sim,(stock based roms only)..u can install stock rom 4.2.2....or balliboxers GENNXT rom based on latest firmware...

NOTE: RAM USAGE OF STOCK AND STOCK BASED ROMS IS HIGH....SO LESSER MULTITASKS HANDLES!

if u can compromise with dual sim ..then u can install slimbean roms...(as u mentioned u want lightest and fastest)... but as they are small and fast, they dont have many extra feature lik halo..bt are lightweight..less ram usage...

bt i wonder why u want 4.2.2 rom when u can installl latest kitkat 4.4.2 (cm11,slimkat rom, carbon rom)..

they all are kitkat roms..........

with cm being a base rom for every rom and a light good rom...so is slimkat...and carbon with good future updates including halo features....

if u still wanna stick to 4.2.2 ....then u got slimbean rom...cm rom....(both dont have halo feature),.bt light...or u cn have PAC,resurrection remix rom(for halo multitasking)...

(gaming is better on kitkat roms)

its all ur choice....

if u want any qsns u can :)..

hope i helped :)..
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] adam2010:
First of all, thanks for your awesome reply ;)

Basically I'm on stock rom without useless Samsung apps. Instructions for Pac/resurrection says I need to be on stock rom in order to upgrade to 4.2.2. So am I ok to flash their rom or first install a stock rom?

You mentioned kitkat roms are better and I agree, however based on instructions I need to be on 4.2.2 first before upgrading :o

Which recovery is the best for making nandroid backups? clockworkmod seems to have issues occasionally creating bad backups.

Kitkat roms seems to have app2sd enabled by default, right? and no issues with Xposed framework modules?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] raghavsharmaxda:
xposed is working fine on dalvik runtime(as google introduced new runtime with 4.4 named ART ,WHICH CONSUMES LESS RAM, BUT IS UNSTABLE)...

when they say that u need to be on stock ROM 4.1.2 , they actually mean the 4.1.2 bootloader..so its okat if u are on GENNXT ROM...stock..abit modified stock 4.1.2...(they specifically mean that if u want 4.2.2 rom, be on 4.1.2 bootloader...and if u want kitkat rom..then be on 4.2.2 rom(any stock based 4.2.2 rom like gennxt or slight modifyd 4.2.2 will do , as all they need is 4.2.2 bootloader for kk roms to work)...if u want kitkat rom.....be on stock based rom..which are touchwiz based roms of 4.2.2)....

so flash 4.2.2 rom by odin..and den install kitkat...if u face any problem ....just pm me :)...and ya..

always do wipe cache,dalvikcache and data(if told) , whenever u flash anything(before and after flashing)... u can ask any qsna u wanna ask..hope i helped.:)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] IdenTT:
one question from my side as well.

I am on stock rooted 4.1.2 rom and I want to upgrade to stock 4.2.2 rom. what would be the best method?

can I install 4.2.2 latest version by flashing via odin directly or do I need to unroot first?

or it will be automatically unrooted when I install 4.2.2(stock) latest over my 4.1.2(stock) by odin?

I hope you got my question.

if u flash the 4.2.2 via odin the root will go and u will be on stock 4.2.2

to my knowledge u dont need to un root just flash via odin and u should be good to go any one do correct me if im wrong this is based on what i read on samsung roms im on stock 4.2.2 which came with my phone i got a week back:laugh:

based on my previous exp if u know how to use the odin properly it should not be a problem
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] raghavsharmaxda:
yea..u just directly flash rom via odin....using odin and flashing a firmware official removes root and any other custom recoveries......so ur phone will be unrooted...and u have to root again if u wanna do something lets say TWEAKS :P

Hope i helped!

there is a thread specifically by chotu222 on how to root /install firmwares.....u can go in dat section and search a bit too!

I am a heavy gamer and performancive device addict..

Kitkat dont have any fancy samsung stuffs bro..bt its all system files are of kitkat so the gaming performance is alot increased.. All game bugs are almost fix which were in 4.2.2......there is work around for every thing..

I mean..think about it..

I never use smart stay...

I nor did use much of live wallpapers as they were battery consuming..the lock screen was fancy but still lets face truth that its just meant for security/unlocking screen :P...u will have to compromise with single sim and non fancy apps :P..

But it does worth a try..i mean why not :P :D... Give it a shot and i am sure u will find something unique about it...

It got its own features..so ya...its ur wish..there are also downsides of it .....u can check respective threads and know more..

Ok bro, I installed selinux cmw recovery... downloaded CM11... I noticed CM is about 200mb comparing to 1 GB stock 4.2.2. Does that mean I will get more free space on internal sdcard? (out of 4GB I mean)...as others suggested, I need to do full wipe/reset factory and manually format system? and if update wasnt successful I can go back to stock via Odin right? :D

Use flashtool to revert back to stock or flash cwm recovery by doomlord using fastboot to get back cwm recovery
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] evh98:
I tried using Flashtool today, and all went smoothly until it asked me to plug in the phone in Flashmode (I found that to do that, you hold down the volume down key while plugging it in to USB, then release it when the green LED comes on). Windows detects the phone, but then the Sony logo appears again, and the loop thing starts all over again, and Windows doesn't detect the phone as connected anymore, and Flashtool is still stuck on the 'Wait for Flashmode' screen.

Same thing with Doomlord's recovery, it doesn't detect the device.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dark Wraith:
Drivers are not installed. Go to drivers folder in your Flashtool folder and execute driver.exe...select drivers for your phone and also flashtool and fastboot drivers

VJBlueSync - I released it as is just because I'd done the work, but am certainly not satisfied with it.
