[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ripdoozer:
Hello,

I have flashed hundreds of Roms on my S3 until recently landing on the ML1 Rooted from Old&Slow. The problem is that I am running out of internal storage. This is partially due to the residual files left over from Roms, Apps & Stuff.

How can I clean it out? I don't want to go in and start deleting things....out of fear of deleting the wrong files and bricking.

Running TWRP. Can I format internal storage?

If I mess up, I would have to Odin back to MF1, root, unlock....blah, blah, blah.

Maybe that's what I should do regardless...I am still partially scared that the 4.3 update will sneak on before I can ulock, root etc.....

Any easier way?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Yes, format internal SD.

I would factory reset, clear cache, clear dalvik cache, format system, then format internal SD card, then reflash the rom.

Everything that's needed will get repopulated when you reflash the rom, just make sure the rom and your backups are on your external SD card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ripdoozer:
Thanks, After formatting, could I restore a backup of the rom?

I have a lot of Mods in place and would prefer to not have to set it all up again.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Sure you can, but if you restore a backup it'll probably just rewrite everything the exact same way it was. But it might solve the problem.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] shamina:
A tablet of this size and style has a very specific space in the pantheon of tablets, and I don’t believe the Amazon app store and Fire UI are robust enough to support the tools users may want from a tablet at this price.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Spadowski:
I paid $129 for my Kindle Fire HD during the black Friday sale in November.

It's an amazing tablet, saddled with an appalling front end. I've installed ADW on mine which alleviates it a bit... I rooted mine, but then had to factory reset it which apparently renders it unable to be rooted again. So until that issue is fixed by minds far smarter than mine I'm stuck unrooted and Google'less which given the stuff I have on the Play Store is a fairly major headache. I mean I'd happily buy some of the apps AGAIN for use on the Kindle, but they're not available.

But anyway, yes, the Kindle Fire HD is akin to taking a nice little fancy-ish sportscar, and plopping a clapped out 1974 Ford Escort engine in it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stealth0wnz:
I spilled some juice on my phone. It spilled over the top, and near the bottom. I had concerns that the charger slot, speaker or microphone would be affected, but they're not.

One thing that is obviously affected is my charging. The phone will not detect a charger connected unless i turn the phone off and then plug the charger in. Then it won't show the charging indicator on the battery, but will be charging. Strangely, the charging indicator shows up when I plug my car's charger into it. It's really confusing me.

In addition to all of this, my battery seems to be draining at historically fast pace after the "incident". Prior to the incident, my battery life was superb, but at the rate it drains now, I feel as if it will have 6 hours of charge (perhaps less), while the screen is OFF.

I understand I made a blunder in spilling anything on the phone at all, but a little troubleshooting help would go a long way here guys. Thanks a lot.

please see the attached battery history details. it's violent.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
If I were you I would put the whole device in a sealed bag of rice for at least 24hrs before using it further. Depending on how long ago you spilled the juice you might be able to get more moisture out of the device.

Also, would be beneficial if you post your setup (custom rom/stock, custom kernel/stock, any mods, etc.)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johmama:
I was in the exact same boat as you the past few days. I spilled a drink all over my phone, dried it off, let it sit for days with a fan on it, etc. Then I decided to turn it on, and everything seemed OK. Then after using it for a day, I realized that my battery charge was horrendous. Well I asked in the sticky "Ask anything" thread and got some responses. One said to check battery stats to make sure something isn't preventing my phone from sleep. That's exactly what it was. Google Search was keeping my phone from going into standby. I force killed it, then tested my battery over a set period and it seems to have fixed it. I'll keep my eye out for the next few days to see if it ever happens again.

Here are some posts in the aforementioned sticky thread of me talking about it and getting help:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stealth0wnz:
hey, that sounds like it may work. i had a hunch that something was keeping the phone active. by "force kill" i assume you force stopped it in the apps menu? did this make the charger icon show up on the battery thereafter?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stealth0wnz:
this other thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1621070

that is my EXACT issue, albeit that is a Galaxy S2.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johmama:
Yeah. I just went to the battery menu, clicked Google Search and it redirected me to its' app page and I hit Force Stop. Actually, I just got it back working so I'm still trying to iron all the wrinkles out. I just checked again and Google Search was still taking up a bunch of battery so I had to force close it again (I had rebooted since the last time I killed it). I'll see if it keeps happening and try to figure out a permanent solution. I just turned off Google Now and will see if that helps.

As for the charger icon, I can't really help you. The only issue I had after my spill was horrible battery life (after turning it back on for the first time). I also can't really chime in on the charger not being detected while the phone is on, but works if your phone is initially off, sorry :eek:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stealth0wnz:
still having issues with this. battery is draining very quickly, and won't detect chargers until i reset the phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biscuitownz:
I would take apart the phone and wash everything with a q-tip soaked in 99% rubbing alcohol to get rid of any residue from the juice.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdapimp:
if anything is shorted out alcohol wont help

ALSO never use rubbing alcohol when cleaning electronics especially the motherboards always use isopropyl alcohol
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biscuitownz:
isopropyl rubbing alcohol, same thing. If I had just said rubber alcohol which is 70% isopropyl alcohol that would've been different, i said 99% ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdapimp:
Often times its hard to find 99%

Rubbing alcohol is different from isopropyl

rubbing alcohol

-acetone, denatonium benzoate, methyl isobutyl ketone, water

Isopropyl alcohol

-water

And it evaporates faster which is good for electronics
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biscuitownz:
Considering that most rubbing alcohol are based on isopropyl anyway...

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know if there was a way to pair my ps3 controller to my s4 without root or the cables?

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I have a LG Optimus L9 P769 from Metro Pcs. I rooted and bootloader unlocked the phone yesterday. I also flash a custom Rom on there. I was wondering does anyone know where I can find the factory Rom that I can flash to my phone? Do you know if I can use T-Mobile factory ROM with this phone?

Thanks

[Motorola Droid Maxx] spiral777:
My XT1080m is not the Developer Edition, and unrooted, but went to T-Mobile, swapped out my sim for a T-Mobile sim and everything is working perfectly.

Just switch preferred network to LTE/GSM/UMTS and data, phone calls, and texts work just fine

4GLTE the internet is great but i couldn't send texts

EDIT: T-Mobile network much more stable with this app...

[Motorola Droid Maxx] Sauveur:
No need to unlock or root anything. Keep in mind that you need to be on a particular version of 4.2.2 (mentioned earlier in this thread I believe) in order to get LTE speeds. If you update to 4.4 you will have issues with calling and texting unless you disable LTE and stick with HSPA+

Anyone know if the 4.4.2 update fixes this firmware issue? Trying to figure out if it's worth it to stick around on Verizon until that update comes out before re-trying the switch to TMobile, or if 4.4.2 won't fix it, then maybe I'm just screwed for now?

If you bootloader is unlocked all you have to do is setup carrier in fastboot by doing fastboot carrier config tmo
[Motorola Droid Maxx] s_u_n:
Sure about this/

Where can I get more information about this?

I have a Droid Maxx which I imported from US. The phone was never activated on VZ network and after talking to the customer care and reading the online support related site, I have come to understand that:

1. If you would like to use another SIM card in the Maxx, then you need to first get the phone activated on VZ

2. Then you need to get the international eligibility service activated

3. That will make some changes to the phone which will essentially unlock the device to use with other carriers.

I have got the Droid Razr HD Maxx and it works fine here, but the Droid Maxx does not. If I put the APN settings, then data works fine, but for calls, it just shows No service.

Had this phone been activated on VZ before leaving US, things would have been different for me.

Now, your post has really got me interested.

If I get the bootloader unlocked (around $45), can I turn this paperweight into something useful?

Here are the local carrier bands:

2G: GSM 900, GSM 1800

3G: UMTS 2100

4G: LTE 2300
[Motorola Droid Maxx] @work:
I'm fairly certain you Dont need to do any of those things. The phone is carrier unlocked out of the box. In fact I used a Tmobile Sim on mine. Of all those frequencies you should be able to grab HSDPA and voice from 900 and 1800. The other bands are not supported. I'm not sure why you are having trouble. It might be a bad phone.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] s_u_n:
GSM arena shows:

2G Network	CDMA 800 / 1900

GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G Network	CDMA2000 1xEV-DO

HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100

4G Network	LTE 700 MHz Class 13 / 1700 / 2100

The items in bold should at least work.

I contacted another seller who is selling a Droid Maxx in India. He claims it works on GSM and CDMA both here locally. The only thing to be done is to get the phone activated on Verizon network first and then take it out of the country. You can cancel the subscription after the activation.

So, what I mentioned earlier has been affirmed.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] @work:
You really Dont need to activate it first. The only thing that needs activation to work is the CDMA radio. We have lots of users that bought these new and use them in other countries. I would look to your carrier. Or the possibility of a malfunctioning phone.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] s_u_n:
Droid Maxx

Well, I won't rule out those two areas, but I can also state that there are others who have also reported similar problems.

For example: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/moto-x-...-moto-x-to-t2619174/post49657497#post49657497

So, at this stage it is quite fuzzy to figure out what works and what does not, even for the same phone with the same carrier.

Ultra on LTE

Hey thanks for replying an at least trying to help my imei is fine I'm using vzw right now until I can get my ultra functioning correctly on T-Mobile

So no entering APN when using LTE? So does that mean I will have to switch settings every time to use LTE? I used tweaker an phone info app since I saw those posted I also had set my phone to gsm/LTE/umts since that's what I have read anyways I will try this later this evening.. I did play around with phone info app not having a clue what the hell I'm doing not knowing any info on bands an prettyuch everything an what it means an did manage to get edge an able to teat call to T-Mobile before ...thanks
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Durteedee:
That is the setting I use for my day to day it takes calls and data is fine for everyday tasks.

I choose to keep APNs clear due to the handoff issue, when the apns are in the phone tries to connect to Verizon LTE rather than T-Mobile, without apns set LTE will work but your first call will try to call using Verizon 1x and and call will fail, on my device the speaker won't work until a call goes through, just call again and the phone will default to gsm and work.

When apns are set it goes right through.. No issues.

I don't know about pic messages since I often use hangouts.

I think you have seen this menu before as well.

Well good luck to you.

Actually I realized that the H+ coming on is dependent on location, so I guess that phone info program does work. I got a Tmobile SIM and just popped it in there and its working. It doesn't make calls or send text on 4GLTE but there are ways around that. I'm using google voice and a callback app and problem solved. I actually have gotten faster speeds on Tmobile's LTE than verizon's supposed XLTE, so I'm using the Tmobile one as my daily.

So, there is no way to work Droid MAXX with data, voice and txt on Tmobile?. I have the latest (brand new as of this typing) droid maxx from VZ and popped in a tmobile nano sim, which showed 4GLTE and thought I can just take this device into Tmobile. Now voice doesn't work. 4.4.4 Android. I may have to return this brick now.

So, looks like all the major carries are in cahoots (atleast in the US ... A) making us stick to their exhorbitant plans. FCC does nothing other than budgetting 4B$ from all of us. How did we ever got the number porting done with ATT and the rest?. We may have to have a campaign for phone portability now it seems. "PortaPhone"...

I have never done anything with rooting phones, installing custom ROMs, or anything of that sort.

Is there a simple step-by-step guide on how I can do it that you could point me to? Every time I've started down this road, I find tutorials which start using all kinds of terminology referring to special bootloaders or other software and assuming someone knows how to do all this already. I do not. I really haven't the first clue. I don't even know what the "development section" is that you're referring to.

Just a normal consumer trying to get my phone to work on a better carrier. Any help is greatly appreciated. In fact, I'd pay for your time to help if that was an issue, given how much money I'm losing being stuck on VZW!
