[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] justintime001:
I have had my S4 since switching to ATT in late November and have been following the XDA forums very closely since then. It was thanks to the XDA forums that I was able to root my S4.

However, no matter how far, wide, and meticulously I look on the site, there is no mention of the existence of running KIT-KAT on the i337 S4 for AT&T, save for the Google Play Edition and the version with the octacore etc.

I know these forums are strict (and should be) about questions being asked more than once, but I am not asking when KITKAT will be released through AT&T or even Samsung because I honestly don't care. I simply want to get KitKat on my device running with relative stability. I know there are custom roms out there, but most of them were released...a month ago or so? MAYBE I'm missing something, but if anyone here is in similar shoes, I would appreciate it if you'd echo my sentiments/request to find out if it can be done and how.

Anyone who knows how I can learn more about loading ASOP onto my i337 S4, I would greatly appreciate it. If the limitation is a locked boot loader that you CANNOT get around (excluding safestrap), do let me know! I'm sure a lot of people would benefit from the answer to this question.

Otherwise I'm going to go buy the Google Play Edition of one of the Android devices that has an unlocked boot loader.

Cheers,

Justin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] failedjedi:
What version are you currently running. Go to about phone and post your baseband version. If the 2nd to last digit is f or higher you can't get kit kat yet. If it is before f then you are free to do whatever you want., If you are rooted you can just download rom manager from the play store and flash a recovery the easy way. Then get cyanogenmod or something for your device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] justintime001:
Thank you for your reply!!!

That is most unfortunate, since it is i337UCUEMK2 - even if I did some crazy stuff to go back to MF3, I'd be right at f anyway. ROM Manager and flashing a recovery the easy way seemed simple enough and I was going to do that but it ended up not working, then I tried using Goo Manager and that soft-bricked my phone and I spent hours getting it back to MK2 again. It's back to the way it was, but I still want to update to Kit-Kat.

Btw, could you tell me why it isn't possible because of my baseband? Thanks failedjedi, and anyone else that can offer useful information.

Cheers,

J
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] failedjedi:
With mf3 they locked down the bootloader. So before mf3 you were able to put a custom recovery and custom roms. Since MF3 no one has figured out how to bypass it yet. With mf3 you can use safestrap to sort of get some custom roms, but it still needs to boot the stock kernel as you can't yet use a custom kernel. As a result you are limited to only 4.2.2 Touchwiz based roms working. Now safestrap has a beta for newer versions, not 100% sure what it does and does not support yet as I'm sticking with my mf3 and a 4.2.2 jellybean rom. But the beta is new and probably still buggy.

But basically since you need the stock kernel, you are limited to only the android version your current stock version is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] justintime001:
Yeah as an android developer, I accept that, but am not going to permit it to remain true. This might take awhile...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
If you are a developer there are bounties out for someone to get this working on mf3>

I don't have that issue but good luck if you try--:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] justintime001:
Thanks! Didn't really know there were bounties for that - worthwhile ones anyway given that im dev apps and messing with AOSP and mainly my att s4 every chance I get.

Actually id be doing it for mk2, and if it becomes apparent that mf3 is easier to do it with ill do with that since I'd just DANGEROUSLY use Odin to go back, root, sideload titpro and block the sht out of the autoupdate. From what ive seen, the intermediary version between mf3 and mk2 might be most likely. This is all conjecture anyway. Sooner or later I will allow people to be free even with contracted or used phones.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tannor:
I have used G2 for about a week, battery life has been superb, decided to turn on google now yesterday, drained my battery like 20% in 10 hours while I was sleeping it was keeping phone awake

I turned it completely off now. Does anyone use google now? Anyway to use it but not drain battery?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 20degrees:
I use it. Idk how much it drains at night cause that's when I charge the g2. My battery does pretty well though and I'm on it a ton and it still lasts all day.

LG G2
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
Google Now will use some more battery because it's checking for updates and probing for location periodically, but nothing like you describe, so something else was going on.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevessvt:
go to google settings, location, and turn off location reporting and location history. Google Now will still work fine, but your battery will immensely improve.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tannor:
OK great thanks going to give it a try, what about do I check off Access Location under that same menu or keep it off?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevessvt:
You can leave that on, it shouldnt impact your battery by itself.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tannor:
Thanks one more question, under main settings -> Location access

Do I need any of these on (Access to my location)? and if so which ones? GPS & Verizon or Wi-fi & mobile network location. Right now I have all of it, not sure which is least battery drain
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevessvt:
You only need GPS on if you need very accurate pinpointing, like using navigation, mobile network location is fine to leave on.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sykosteve214:
Another tip: Google Now>settings>Phone Search

You can change which apps Google Now searches on your phone. This sped up Google Now for me as well as helping with battery.

[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbotop:
Hello,

I'm struggeling for a while now with a Galaxy Ace 2 (I8160). It started with "hanging" in the bootscreen (logo and type). Recovery mode was not accessable. Downlaod mode was accessable. Connection with the much beloved KIES was not possible. However connection with ODIN 3.07 no problem. So I downlaoded the appropriate Andriod (4.2) file with the XEN (Dutch) countrycode. After extracting it became a single tar.MD5 file of some 800 kB.

As said ODIN connected to the Ace and reported the file entered in PDA "valid" and said "Checking MD5 successfully".

After pressing start the following announcements came:

> Get PIT for mapping

> Firmware update start

> Kernel.bin.MD5

> NAND write start

And after waiting for a long time.

> Complete (write) operation failed.

After this the ACE became even more stuborn. Most of the times after (it doen not matter whether normal, or downlaod or restore mode) start up it reports that "Firmware upgrade encounterd an issue" and it requires me to go to KIES, which I cannot access.

Sometimes I'm Lucky and the ACE enters into the downloadmode. If so I tried to reflash again with a different version of ODIN but without any luck. It just does not work.

Does anyone have a suggestion what to do? Should I see any grafic inidication of progress in ODIN while the flashing progress is going on?

Kind regards,

Dave

Galaxy Ace 2 problem

Hello,

Thank you for your answers. I mis-typed the Android version. It was 4.1.2. I downloaded it as a Stock File named XEN-I8160XXMF1020130727121805.ZIP (540 kB). Extracted it produces only one single file (*.tar.MD5) of about 912 kB. This file was placed in de PDA category of Odin, with no luck.

Until now I cannot find a 3-part firmwarefile. I have been Googling for the MB4.zip, but can only find rubish and no clean version. I also heard the suggestion that there might be differences between firmware for the I8160P and I8160I version. However cannot find these different files. The file name as mentioned above (I8160XX) seems tot suggest it is suitable for multiple types. Hope somebody can help me out.

Regards,

Dave

Samsung Ace 2

I found the files a while ago. However the Ace 2 ran out of battery. I charged the battery manually. For some reason the Phone did not want to start at all anymore. So I finally decided to sent it to the Samsung service station as it was still within the quarantee time. I just received it back and the repair note said: Board replaced and software updated. So it might have been an harware issue after all!?

Nonetheless thank you all for your input.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kooli9:
hey,

i've done several searches and cannot find any threads on a fault i'm having.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSL1-Bsy5pI

Vid of completely stock nexus 7 not rooted exhibiting ambient light sensor/backlight issue. Screen dims beyond point where screen is visible when auto brightness is used or level is adjusted below 40%

UPDATE 11/10/13

ASUS are a joke. Tried to have it repaired as a manufacturing fault. They weren't having it as 6 months out of warranty. And there's rubbish 3rd repair centre TRIAGE SERVICES LTD claimed it needed a new main board as it was a light sensor fault at the cost of £207.06 (i could buy the new 2013 nexus 7 cheaper). I told them where to go with that and asked for my tablet back which cost me £35.

I bought a replacement board and fitted using the amazing guides on IFIXIT.COM

And guess what? same issue

2 possibilities here either replacement board has exact same fault (unlikely) or fault is else where (LCD assembly)

There is no way i've found that you can calibrate the screen using the tablet, not sure about other methods

I may try a new screen

UPDATE

Spoke to TRIAGE SERVICES LTD again shortly after changing the board and after a lot of longwindedness they say they have a way of reseting the screen although it not guaranteed to work and will cost £50 if it does or £35 to return if it doesn't. (why they did not try this when they had the tab is beyond me). I'm relecutant to send to them as every search i've tried to reset the defualts on the light sensor show nothing.

Now i know on the samsung you can get into a hardware test mode by dialing *#0*# wanted to know if there was a similar mode on the nexus 7. At least that would let me confirm and reset the values for the light sensor.

also when shining the LED flash on the sensor at close range when on auto brightness the screen does auto brighten.

Can anyone help me diagnose this further other than just changing the screen? i knew there are a few people with this fault
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kooli9:
UPDATE I have tested a few hardware tester apps on the tab and they all show the light sensor to be operational and responding very well to light changes.

I'm wondering if there is some kind of CMOS in the display assembly or failing that the display driver are fooked.

When android is updated are the drivers also?

Does factory reset include drivers also?

Will flashing the rom via fastboot reset the drivers?

any help is greatly appreciated
