[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bklynrx7:
Hello everyone. I tried to wipe my kindle and replace the rom last night but its not letting me install anything. I have been running a version of Smoothrom for months now without any issues. I am giving the kindle to my gf so I wiped it and tried to upgrade to a kitkat rom first. I did a complete wipe of everything then loaded the roms on via usb. Now, when I try to install a new rom I get an error which Ill post below. I am using TWRP 2.5.0.0. I tried loading several different 4.4 roms and they all get the same error:

set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed

E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/AmazonHfk2.8-20131220-Stable-otter.zip

Error flashing zip '/sdcard/AmazonHfk2.8-20131220-Stable-otter.zip

Updating partition details.......

It stays like that. If I try to reset it I get a message saying "Root permissions appear to be lost, fix root permissions now?"

Any ideas would be really appreciated.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bklynrx7:
SOLVED: I tried a few different Roms and it seems like its just the 4.4 roms that are failing. Im assuming its just my version of TWRP so ill try to update it. Feel free to delete this thread. Sorry for clogging up the forum.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SKULLHEADHJ:
So I've been waiting for almost 4 months now to receive the upgrade in my OS from 4.1 to 4.3. I had a 3-4 week break from my mobile gem, because of a malfunction in the audio headphone jack. And now, when I have my device back, I'm still at the good old 4.1.

When is it going to come and why are the delays? As far as my memory allows me I remember at least one or two more delays of the same update... From October 2013 I have been thinking of rooting my phone, but every time I come to do it, I've always thought "Why not wait for the next update and see how it goes?", well not anymore. I'm rooting my phone ASAP, first thing in the morning. I was wondering if you guys can recommend me any exceptionally good rooting guides and "kits" If that's what they are called.

Since this is my first time on this forum I hope I left a good first time impression, since English is not my prime language.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TX_Jax:
Don't be in a hurry for 4.3!

Skullhead, I have a phone that was rooted, then updated to Verizon Over the Air Android 4.3. I lost root.

Thought it would be simple to re-root, but now the USB connection as a disk drive is not available.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cherrymanoj:

Hi everybody !

I got Samsung Galaxy S3 i did flash it , but after i flashed then it can't power on anymore :(

Before i flash i remember that my battery is low :( now it won't charge :( im sorry about my english not well:(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narcotik25:
won't start charging even if u leave it like a hour or so? if not maybe you need an usb jig to power it into download mode and flash a stock rom via odin

The ones on the stickies page will not finish downloading. I'm trying to go back to stock. Not really feeling the null Rom since some things are broken. Can someone upload stock Odin firmware to a reliable source do I can download? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
Whats broken ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] warriorpluto:
Logs don't work and contacts don't show up even after wiping a couple of times and reinstalling. I really like the Rom. I work on cars and need this function. Anyway to fix?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] warriorpluto:
Oh yea and I searched the issue. Didn't find anything. Maybe I'm the only one with the issue
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
Thats the first iv heard of that one champ, Only thing I can recommend doing is reinstalling gear manager.

You broke the rom.. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] warriorpluto:
Oh ok I never thought to uninstall gear manager. I'll try that right quick. Thanks;j
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] warriorpluto:
That did the trick.Thanks again. I had been fooling around with this thing all day lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TOG565:
I am definitely not a noob here but, it has been a loooong time. From the HD2 and g2x days including a stint with Team Hellfire. I just tried to get back in to the scene with the purchase of a tmous galaxy s4 (4.3) and am realizing that I may not be able to root. That being said, I have read that you can and that you can't. What is the definitive answer? can I root this paperweight or not?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] selayan:
I'm not too familiar with the s4 but I know with 4.3 on an HTC one you can't root yet.

Check your software build number and boot version and then search on those numbers. Most 4.3 phones right now can't root unless you were previously s off and just took the ota. Then all you had to do was reinstall superuser.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
You can root, use custom recovery, flash other ROMs, etc but you will trip the (as of right now) KNOX warranty flag. If you care about your warranty, leave it stock and don't muck around. If the warranty doesn't really matter to you, having a tripped KNOX flag doesn't incapacitate your device or anything; just don't expect warranty agreements to be honored.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] selayan:
I was deciding between s4 and HTC one. How do you like yours? I don't think I'm a big fan of touch wiz. I hope Verizon does not take away my unlimited data because all I've had were Verizon HTC phones.

If I had to switch carriers I would probably keep my DNA as it has bands that work on pretty much all carriers except sprint.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TOG565:
So far it is nicely put together and it has a ton of features. Not really happy with the lock down from Samsung though. First is was a lack of source release from LG and now Samsung has to play games
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] selayan:
Yeah they did pack a lot of features in the s4. What they should have done was made the build quality better, it's not as plasticy feeling as the s3 but they should have of course got rid of the home button.

I heard Knox is a pain but at least you can root it now. I can't even use my one right now because I hate the Verizon software.

[G Pad 8.3 General] adamski123:
Hi guys,

So im going to be buying a tablet very soon, like over the next week or so, and have been thinking about picking up the G Pad. I just wanted to ask you guys if you think its worth buying it now, or wait until after CES. Are you happy with your device? Or will you be upgrading it in 2014 to one of the newer tablets (whatever comes out)

thanks for the help

Adam :)
[G Pad 8.3 General] jim380:
I was on the same boat as you. I ordered one from newegg a couple days ago cuz they are selling it $50 cheaper than others. The unit came in unsealed, and....defective. I talked about this here(http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48941907&postcount=75). So go check it out if you want to. I returned it and ordered one from play store immediately. My point is, be careful of what retailer you are ordering from. Return is really a pain in the ass. And my first experience with this tablet was totally ruined.
[G Pad 8.3 General] naruto.ninjakid:
Yah if I order I'm definitely ordering from best buy so I can return easily if anything goes wrong.I have read many horror stories about newegg so I'd be wary of them. I'm juatvwwiting to see if BestBuy or any other retailers will have any little sales soon. I'm not paying $350 yet lol :):)
[G Pad 8.3 General] leggy:
I ordered from Google store and got it yesterday but so far I am not impressed and specially with the screen. The white is yellowish and not very bright. Need color adjustment and other screen tweaks. The pad is heavy too
[G Pad 8.3 General] joshuadjohnson22:
I love my G Pad, perfect size, great screen (after mods) and fast.. I have no regrets. There is always something better around the corner, but I see my G Pad an I having a long relationship :)
[G Pad 8.3 General] Mindspin_311:
What mods did you do to the screen?

Im still debating about getting the cheaper V500 and doing a custom ROM or a V510 and keeping stock minus root.
[G Pad 8.3 General] joshuadjohnson22:
I use Trickster and it works great, my whites are pretty close to my G2's whites. Screen Adjuster does the same but I like Trickster more. I am running 4.4.2 custom rom and it is awesome, no major bugs, about the same battery life.... either way you will be happy. btw screen adjuster doesn't require root but trickster does
[G Pad 8.3 General] CuraeL:
Got mine a few days ago as well, she's a keeper. Yellowish tint on the screen? Red and green color correction in Trickster MOD app for AOSP and I'm golden. :) This tablet is staying with me for a long time. I knew after owning Nexus 7 2012 that I needed a tad bit bigger screen. And 8.3 feels amazingly big and at the same time.. Not too big. :s It's just a beautiful tablet and I like it very much. And I don't see any other tablet that I'd rather have right now. And I'm pretty sure that once New Year is due, and ppl start receiving packages, we will see a lot of development specially to the GPE of this device. There should be a lot of development.. I think. ^^ Otherwise I'm fine with my CM11.

Battery life isn't as bad for me as many others say it is. I don't watch that many movies and I keep my gaming on media that are capable of graphics a bit better than tablets anyway. I am able to squeeze 3 days of use out of this baby with Interactive govenor and a 500Mhz minimum freq. on the CPU. It's just fine for my needs. If you wanna sit in a train for 10 hours and watch Blu ray rips of the full Lord of the Rings uncut trilogy, you might wanna find another tablet or a huge brick of extra juice. I can recharge it each night so battery will never be an issue unless the Zombie apocalypse comes and I lose power. But then I'd rather carry round a shot-gun anyways..

edit: for the record I'm crazy about crisp images, so the lower dpi than Nexus 7 2013 had me hesitating, until I saw the screen on this one, fck the dpi difference.. It's clear enough for me. It's just wonderful to look at.
[G Pad 8.3 General] clemson77on:
Heavy compared to what? A feather?
[G Pad 8.3 General] RaiderWill:
Adamski,

It's a good Tablet.. just as good as anything you are going to find in the next 30 days or so.. Of course the longer you wait, you will hear about the "Next Big Thing" but you can wait another year.. waiting...... So, decide what works best for you.. but I can say, a lot of folks feel 8 inches is the "Sweet Spot" for Tablet size.. with the Nexus 7 2013 being just a little to small and phone like at 7 inches.. there is a 30% increase in screen size going with the G-Pad over the Nexus 7 2013..

And you should know that you may get a unit that is *Unsealed* when ordering or picking up from a local retailer.. You may want to check my Thread out as well.... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2562268 as fellow members chimed in on their G-Pad's being received Sealed AND Un-Sealed.. :cool:
[G Pad 8.3 General] jim380:
can't agree more. I have the GPE. I rooted it and have been constantly tweaking it ever since. I'm not gonna lie. To me, the screen is a little bit disappointing. Also, I see some hiccups here and there while web browsing in Chrome, viewing pdf in popular productivity applications, and during gaming. 8 inch might be the sweet spot for a lot people, but this tablet particularly may not be the best bang for your buck TBH.
[G Pad 8.3 General] RaiderWill:
Wow.. sorry to hear you received one of the bad ones with color issues and hiccups on what should be the "Lightest" & "Smoothest" ROM available in the stock KitKat..

Are you going to return it to Google ? and go with the N7-2013 since it's the "Best Bang" for the buck if 7 inch screens work for you.. and it's bright white.. I owned one for a week or so.. but it was too phone like and too small even though I got it during the staples sale $219.00 for a 32 Gb model.. even that could not makeup for the screen size.. But I was able to get the G-Pad during BestBuy's Saturday sale for only $279.00 and with Zero issues.

You also have the option of the Note 8.. I owned one of those as well.. Very High Contrast so white's are white.. even at it's 1280 x 800 resolution.. :cool:
[G Pad 8.3 General] JohnnySJ:
I own both the Nexus 7 (2013), and the Gpad with V500.

Even tough the image quality and the performance of the N7 is better,

the Gpad is the one to keep without a doubt. Is the perfect size for a Tablet, specially if you have a big phone like the Nexus 5. You wont believe how much more screen real state you get vs the N7. If you decide to buy it, i would suggest you do the following:

1. Root it

2. Install Trickster Mod to adjust screen color

3. Install Screen Adjuster and set contrast to -15 at least.

4. If you have an Sd Card, install the Xposed Framework and the "Music2SD" mod, so your downloaded Google Play Music is stored in the external SD.

5. Profit!

I forgot to mention that a modified stock rom called: "Malladus 1.2.3" is available.

I installed it a couple of hours ago, and so far the performance improvement is very noticeable. Almost perfect rom...i just wish the LG weather widget was not removed.
[G Pad 8.3 General] adamski123:
Wow thanks a lot for this information! Seeing as the G Pad is decreasing in price I'm probably going to pick one up very soon!

I've just set 253 red, 255 green, 255 blue

I noticed that the "good" values vary among 252 253 254 (talking about red settings).

About the topic: this tablet is almost perfect but lacks of optimization. The screen is awesome either as regards the resolution and the format. The battery isn't the top since I reach 6 hours of screen on only if I don't play (using stock rom). I rely on the updating at 4.4 by LG.
[G Pad 8.3 General] joshuadjohnson22:
I like my whites cold like the G2 so my settings are red 213, green 213 and blue 255. Just beautiful imo. Every screen may be a little different but look at your whites after that

Hello . This is my first post here. I am having a problem with my battery. i recently bought a new one with 1700mAh,is a compatible one. now the thing is i left my phone to fully charge but is charging only to 89% and stops. my guess is that the phone only see the 1500mAh and the rest of 200 cannot. is there any way to make the phone charge to 100%? Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koragg97:
i too have a 1700mah battery from the Ace 2 and it works like a normal 1500mah battery would. the first time when i put it in i shut down my phone completely and left it charging for 16 hours (although it did have 50% out of the box). Another thing i learned is that it's better to charge Li-ion batteries when they are below 20%, because they have a limited charge cycle (about 300 charges i think) so when you charge it from 70% to 100% it counts as 1 charge. i used to charge my original battery like that and only lasted 7 months (then my phone restarted randomly, couldn't turn on when actually having more than 70% battery left (the indicator said the battery's dead, but when i pluged it into a charger and turned the phone on it had more than 70% left) !!
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nemo91:
so is there any way to make the phone see the 1700mAh?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivanZG:
Does your new battery 3 or 4 contacts? The original batteries have 4 contacts. I think that by the fourth contact phone receives information about the charge, and if the new battery does not have that contact phone does not receive charge Information so it approximates.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koragg97:
ok i've got the same battery and the only advise i can give you is to charge the phone 16 hours non-stop and see what happens (better be turned off). that's what i did when i charged my battery for the 1st time.

I think that clearing the batterystats.bin file won't do anything, cause it just stores the info which is shown in the battery usage window in settings. And every time you charge your phone it generates a new batterystats.bin file. Not sure though :)

I did that and still from 100 to 90 in a few mins. I read somewhere that this is because all of the background apps but it still lasts a day with normal use (a little games, little browsing, a lot of listening to music and a few calls :) ) so it's no problem for me.
