[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yumemiru_tenshi:
Hi,

I've just purchased my Z1 last Saturday

overall a very nice experience

but apparently I'm having trouble with my cellular signal

it's recipient is very weak, while my wife's Nexus 4 (which use the same provider) has full bar, I only have 2 bars

and at some places it even have no signal at all

I test my SIM Card to my wife's Nexus 4 it works just fine

does anyone having the same problem ?

can anyone offer a solution ?

I'm willing to root my phone, but not unlocking the bootloader

In a week if it keeps going like this I'm going to the service center, which I'm not prefer to do

cheers

Only thing I can think of is to monitor it with this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chasinglemons.signalmonitor

or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.signalmonitoring.gsmsignalmonitoring

Otherwise call your provider.

So, short of it is I installed TWRP using freegee, which worked correctly. I had a rom on my storage, and did a wipe twice, but now the rom I had on the SD isn't there anymore and not sure what I should do. I search to figure out how to mount or side load the rom on the SD again, but not sure. Any ideas?

My last resort is to go to Best Buy where I bought the phone the other day and just say my phone is stuck on the LG logo and not sure why, it is possible to swap out phones, and hope they let me?

If I get an OTG UBS cable, and put the file on a external USB or USB sd card reader, will that work?

Did you not create a backup before flashing?

Backup was deleted too, or else I would have used it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicamarcel1:
Ok since you mess up ! And dont know how to use adb. I suggest you use LG Flash Tool to go back to factory stock so you can go back to stock. And Noooooo returning the phone when it's rooted won't work you have alvery void your warranty by doing that they won't take the phone like that since they can just check if the phone was being rooted and there is no way right now to remove the counter.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigsnack:
Well I tried to ADB via adb sideload, but it didn't work? It said it was starting sideload features, but nothing happens. I tired to use ADB push, but the device was not recognized. Any suggestions there?

So, is there a link to using the LG Flash tool? Thanks
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicamarcel1:
Did you set up adb in the computer? Do you have the drivers for it? If yes check the cable or the computer usb port is the problem.

---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

Well is nothing is working just use LG Flash tool to go to stock because to be honest if adb and recovery mode are not working thats you last option you have.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigsnack:
Well I would think ADB flash tool should work if I was able to root via command prompt. I know I had the drivers installed. I will try a different usb cable, and usb port. On a side note if I get an OTG cable and use a SD card with a usb reader will I be able to use that to just flash a rom?

With adb, I click adb sideload, and then let in starting sideload features mode in the fastboot folder I open command prompt and type adb push rom.zip with rom.zip being the new rom i want to install, right? But, when I tried that nothing really happens.

[HTC Rezound] Spyke562:
Hello Everyone,

I in the next few days I will be available for a device upgrade. I am going to go from a Rezound to S4 but I am concerned about my unlimited data.

I still have unlimited data on my plan, will upgrading my device change this?

I know now they are forcing everyone into tiered plans but I was hoping this would not change my plan. My wife and I are on a shared plan and she had to get a 2GB data plan when she got her Rhyme. I was grandfathered into my unlimited when I got my Rezound. I also still have the 500 txt messages for $5 a month which they do not offer anymore. I hope that does not get changed either :(

Thanks,

Ian...
[HTC Rezound] corporal_hades:
if you get the phone subsidized you lose unlimited, if you have another line you can take and activate the new phone on then move the phone back to your unlimited line you should be good. just don't activate the subsidized device on the unlimited line or you are toast. at least I think that's how it all works.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
You need to buy the phone outright at full price to retain your unlimited if you can't do the alternative line option corporal_hades pointed out. Verizon is offering financing to split the cost over 12 months with an additional $2 a month charge I believe.

I'm in the same boat you're in, I would like to upgrade, don't wanna give up my unlimited either.
[HTC Rezound] Spyke562:
Thanks for the information guys. Sometimes it seems like Verizon and the other carriers got us by the b@lls :(
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Don't forget the Moto X is $399, and the LG G2, HTC One, and Droid Ultra are $449 off contract now... just one more way to keep unlimited data.

http://www.droid-life.com/2013/08/2...-retail-with-no-hassle-use-the-iconic-portal/

It may also be worth it to decide if you really need unlimited data, or change your usage somewhat to get within 2 or 4 GB of data a month, you can save a lot if you can make some changes to your usage and get on WiFi more.
[HTC Rezound] jagrave:
I know corporate stores will not do it, but one of the smaller Verizon stores I went into the other day said I could use my upgrade to get a new phone on my wife's life(alternate upgrade), then do a hardware swap to put the new phone on my line. It wouldn't hurt to ask a few of the stores around you to see if theyll do that.

She said if I did this I would be able to keep my unlimited.
[HTC Rezound] jax187:
I upgraded to the HTC one through best buy and was able to keep my unlimited plan. I upgraded the phone on my account that's already on the tiered data plan. Then switched the new phone to my unlimited line at the Verizon store. Best buy or Verizon didn't give me any problems doing it. Small price to pay to keep unlimited data.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wherestheanykey:
Hi. I have a MJ5 Note 3 rooted via Kingo, and it is completely stock other than that. The KNOX counters are still 0x0 and the Binary is still Samsung Official. However the system status shows Custom and I get the Custom padlock icon during boot. I have seen some references to Triangle Away being able to fix this on the Verizon variant. Has anyone tried Triangle Away on our N900A to remove the custom status? I'm a little hesitant to try it, because I don't want to chance it making one of the settings worse instead of better. I would like to hear if anyone has tried it on this phone and what the result was.

Thanks
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crxlvr:
Haven't used that. But Wanam exposed will remove the custom logo
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrAzzy:
I think it'll work, but why not just use Wanam?

It'll let you do a bunch of other things you want to do too (I don't know what you want to do, but I still feel pretty confident in saying that. The list of tweaks it enables is impressive), so you're going to end up installing it anyway.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wherestheanykey:
To be honest, it is because I am familiar with Triangle Away and it's a simple app install. As for Wanam, I don't know anything about it or how to install it. It sounds like you first need to have the Xposed framework installed which I don't, and have never done either. I see a lot of people referencing Wanam and how useful it is, but I haven't run across a thread here in the AT&T Note 3 group that, explains where to get it and how to install it on the N900A.

Does it work with all firmware versions, is it easily reversible and the same goes for the Xposed framework?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crxlvr:
It's an app on the play store. Just follow the instructions when u download it and it will install the framework. You need to be rooted first.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrAzzy:
Xposed framework comes from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 (I wasn't able to find it in the Play store)

It's one of those things where the app you download installs/uninstalls/manages the framework- it can be reversed by uninstalling through app, and then uninstalling the app.

It is compatible with almost any rooted android 4.0 or higher device.

Wanam comes from the app store, and supports touchwiz roms running android 4.2 or higher.

Those will both work with any version of the note 3 firmware.

I've never used triangle away; I don't understand the motivation for hiding the padlock. I got rid of it with Wanam, but that's certainly not what I got Wanam for.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crxlvr:
I just downloaded Wanam and one of the options was to install the framework
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wherestheanykey:
Actually what I am trying to do is change the custom system status back to Normal. That is what Triangle Away is capible of doing on some devices that are not running a custom recovery, custom Rom or custom kernel. If all Wanam does is hide the Custom padlock at boot, but the Device status still shows as Custom in the settings, and system still shows Custom in Download mode, then I agree, its not a good use of the tool.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrAzzy:
Just checked, Wanam makes it look normal in device status and download mode, it doesn't just remove the padlock.

I still don't understand why we care if it shows custom in device status and download mode. Does this cause problems with some other software?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wherestheanykey:
Thank you for checking. Did you have to download a separate module for doing this, and if so, which one?

My phone is used for work at a large corporation, and they are funny about unauthorized modifications or "hacking".
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrAzzy:
Only module you need is Wanam (and the xposed framework, of course)

Ah, I see - I'm not sure how well this will work for hiding your root access from your IT department, since anyone who is even vaguely familiar with android hacking need only look at your app list to determine that you're rooted - otherwise why would you have SuperSU, TiBu, and all the rest of those lovely root-required apps installed.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elemino:
Did you root while you had MJ5 and it didn't trip the counters? I'm suspicious of this Kingo app because I've never dealt with it before. My phone luckily has an older version so I was able to use the Root DeLaVega without issue, but my wife's Note 3 has MJ5 and I want to root it.

Also, Wanam is awesome. I used it to get rid of the Custom mark as well as many other things I love about my phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wherestheanykey:
Yes I rooted while on MJ5 with Kingo and it didn't trip the KNOX counters or change the Binary status. All it did was change the system status to Custom and invoke the pad lock during boot. I installed Xposed Framework and Wanam this weekend and it repaired them both.

Thanks again to everyone who helped me with this process.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrAzzy:
Kingo doesn't trip the counters.

There's also this method of rooting, which uses the trick used by RDLV - it's a bit of a big deal, though, since it's meant to be a way to recover from a bricked/mangled device:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2559715
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elemino:
I watched a few YouTube videos while researching it, and I found several saying it tripped their KNOX flags, that's why I was worried. I successfully used it to root my wife's Note 3 last night without issue. So I had no problems. She too is on MJ5.
[General Questions and Answers] lookimback:
While trying to figure out why I wasn't getting my push notifications I noticed that there are a lot of people having this same problem. It doesn't seem to affect just one brand or model of phone. Nor does it seem to be a specific carrier or firmware version. I finally figured out the problem and decided to post this here rather than in the forum for my device. My particular device is a Verizon GS4, rooted, stock firmware, version MK2.

Originally, I had thought it was only Facebook and eBay that I wasn't getting notifications from. It turned out I wasn't getting any of them except text messages and email.

If you are having the same problem, this is why. The problem is that one of your apps is blocking the notifications. For me, it was Yahoo instant messenger. After a whole day searching and trying every solution I could find, I finally just started uninstalling apps that get push notifications. Once I uninstalled YIM I knew instantly that I had found the cause because I got about 20 push notifications, they were all the ones which I hadn't received. It really wasn't until then that I realized just how many apps I wasn't getting notifications from.

The app that's causing you to not receive your notifications may or may not be YIM. It more than likely will be an app which you downloaded and installed, as opposed to one preinstalled on the phone.

My suggestion would be to go through your apps and uninstall, one at a time, any apps you've installed which receive push notifications. More than likely, you will instantly get some notifications when you find the one causing the problem. Once you find the faulty app, you should be able to reinstall it without a problem. If you reinstall it and the problem returns, you will at least know where to begin looking for a solution.

If your problem is only with a specific app, then you may need to check your settings for that particular app. With, for example, the Facebook app, if you uncheck the messages box in settings, you will only get push notifications during certain times. So that may be your problem if its just Facebook. Or similar if its a different app.

I hope this actually helps someone. Any questions, I'm subscribed and I will respond right away.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MLopez14:
Hi, I've been using the TouchControl app for a while and I really love it but the battery drain is huge. I want to know if the custom kernel s2w and dt2w are more battery friendly than the TouchControl app. Thanks

Enviado desde mi Nexus 5 mediante Tapatalk
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decemberlast2013:
Yes more battery friendly.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhatfield25:
I have a love hate relationship with Touch Control for the same reason, but Im ignorant to s2w-dt2w. But youve peaked my attention.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dany XP:
That's an intersting question. In fact i was going to create a topic about it my self. :good:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kong:
IMHO, if you leave out the battery consumption issue, Touch Control is better than s2w and dt2w because it supports more customization.

I tried s2w and dt2w in a few kernels and couldn't find a way to set the “delay time” like in Touch Control e.g. I can swipe slowly to turn off the screen, but I want the delay to be short (i.e. you have to swipe really fast) to turn the screen on because otherwise the screen could be accidentally turned on when I'm walking around with the phone in my pants pocket.

:rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MLopez14:
I love TouchControl for the exact same thing, I think that TouchControl and s2w - dt2w might have the same battery consumption because it's the digitizer always on that cause the battery drain but it's just my theory.

Enviado desde mi Nexus 5 mediante Tapatalk
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decemberlast2013:
Touch control would be better if the developer ever bothered to update the app or fix the huge battery drain. Also if you use a kernel like bricked with the same amount of money you can buy his app and have the benefits of controlling the kernel tuneables in addition to having s2w and dt2w.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dany XP:
Is this correct?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delacrow:
I think that all s2w dt2w code has been created by a single developer - showp. Here is a link to his kernel where it all started. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.ph...el Hammerhead | Sweep2wake | KnockKnock/Dt2w

I also believe that both the app and all other kernels had taken advantage of showp's code with some minor modifications.

The reason why the battery drains is because of hardware architecture that is different in nexus5 (I suggest you read detailed explanation in kernel thread I referenced above) - but as I recall the chip being activated for s2w is also soldered to digitizer or something, which activates it. Showp mentioned that if lg shared hardware architecture details it would be possible to eliminate battery drain by deactivating specific chip until it is needed. Again, read the thread for details. The thing is that lg is not inclined to share the information, and kernel developers are making no money on their work, except for optional control software which is not free. App developer is probably charging for compatibility with multiple kernels, including stock, plus additional configuration settings. But in terms of s2w I don't know if anyone can do anything to improve battery usage until additional hardware specs are released. While showp created the original code - I think that all developers referencing his code should take initiative and try to address the issue from different angles. Hammering any individual thread would change nothing. And while showp already expressed his honest opinion - I don't know if other developers had done the same. Maybe all developers may admit that they are not planning to do anything (especially those who simply refer to showp for s2w). But if someone takes initiative then it would be great.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kong:
I'm not sure about that because Touch Control has been around since the Nexus S days… (by the name of PGM) and [MENTION=2538253]bponury[/MENTION] wrote the kernel module himself.

However, the code to make them (swipe/double-tap to wake) work on Nexus 5 could be similar based on available hardware architecture detail like you mentioned :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] John723:
I am gonna give more points for Custom kernel s2w-dt2w as this is better option for the one who love to save the battery or need battery for the longer time as he keeps himself busy in journey.

[Galaxy S 4 i9506 Android Development] dXsL:
successfully rooted on 4.2.2 stock ROM. being a little cautious (read: paranoid:)) I tried disabling internet on the machine I was running the root program. no luck, it NEEDS an internet connection. the strange thing was that it needed to remove the drivers that windows installed 5 minutes before, and then installed its own drivers. Suspicious or not, it worked.

my experience in case this helps someone:

without internet connection, the program will not connect your device. I double checked if USB debugging was enabled, dis- and reconnected the cable but the program would NOT detect my device. Enabled WIFI on my laptop, got internet again, and it started to connect. Don't worry when this takes long, in my case it took 3 minutes to uninstall the drivers or whatever it was doing (fast win7 x64 laptop, 40Mbit internet connection).

when there finally was a connection, I just clicked on the huge ROOT button.

Then don't get worried when it says "rooting" and "testing root" several times. I'm guessing it tests several different exploits until it finds one that works. on my mobile the "rooting" and subsequent "testing root" took 3 or 4 times. It concluded with a reboot and the root software returned to the initial screen asking for a connection. I disconnected the cable before the mobile was ready again as I did not want the root program to connect to my mobile again. It seemed to take a few seconds to find my carrier information (I got slightly worried) but after 3 seconds or so there was a signal. before the root, I never noticed this delay, nor was it visible the next 2 reboots. All seems to work.
