[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnigizzle:
i have a Samsung s4 and when i try to connect to 3g ( Settings > Mobile networks > Network mode WCDMA/GSM or WCDMA only) It connects to 3G ( h+) and after a few minutes the network drops and i do not have reception and the only way of getting reception is to go to Settings > Mobile networks > Network mode and change to GSM only (2G) . If i leave it on 2g its fine but the thing is i do not want 2g i am paying 20 euro a month for 3g which i cannot use. All my APN settings are correct as i can connect to 2g and 3g(momentarily). My network provider cannot fix the issue

Hello,

Any way to get rid of one or are they both necessary?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jebus197:
Hi I hope I won't get mauled for this and I hope I am in the right part of the forum and am not breaking any rules. If this is any consolation, this was not my doing. I have been tasked with resolving this issue for a friend (my boss).

Basically my question is exactly the same as the title of this thread. This guy flashed his Galaxy S3 with a custom ROM and soon afterwards it stopped working/displays a 'no network' signal message so that making calls is now impossible.

Everything else appears to work fine.

I have no idea what ROM he used, but the Android version is 4.1.2.

I tried following this advice on this YouTube thread that pointed to a thread that was on here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AlQmfMJBK0&list=PLFDC5QJK9AUG_cSMhuiWQo-mSst1_y-DM&index=1

However I got a bit stuck at the point where it instructs users to 'put the phone in the correct mode" by using the dialler and punching in the numbers: *#7284#

Here he says select Qalcom USB settings and RMNet + DM + Modem.

However after having done this, the first two of these options are not available. Instead I have two sections called "UART" and "USB". Under each of these sections I have two options only that can be selected, which are "modem" and "pda", as in this image here:

So at this point it seems I can't proceed.

I did notice from the video that the page he is referring to in the video also suggests another method. However the original thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1804123 appears to have been deleted, so I can't tell if these other instructions would have proved helpful.

I have checked that the phone is legitimate and that the original IMEI number matches that both behind the battery and on the supplied box, so all that's really required is to find a method for restoring the original IMEI that would work in this case? I Have searched the forum and have found varying views on how to approach this, but I am limited in time (it needs to be done by tomorrow) and I am seeking a definitive answer.

Can anyone help, or can you please point me to the appropriate thread showing clearly what to do? I was sure the method in the YouTube video would work, which is why I agreed to help. But I'm in big trouble if I can't fix it.

Edit:

I tried following this thread here: .http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1772741&page=2

I backed up my EFS folder just like it said, but it asks me to copy my .nvdata file to my newly created EFS folder (after a reboot), I can find no .nvdata file in the backed up EFS folder.

This is to say the least somewhat alarming.

There is a file called nv_data.bin, but I am by no means certain that this is what the poster is referring to?

Go read the sticky thread over in general forum, efs 'know this stuff'.

If you don't have a backup to restore then you need a repair centre.

Hello,

My phone is an HTC EVO 3d.

I was replacing the bezel...(the frame around the display)

And I damaged the digitizer, it works but has dead spots every 1cm...

Everything else works, but the phone reboots every 10mins.

I have a custom rom, but cant install anything else, because much of them require touch input to install.

What can I do?

I already ordered the digitizer, but maybe that wont fix the problem, I just hope it's the os problem, but I reinstalled it. (it didn't require touch input)

THe phone does not reboot when on usb power or plugged to pc.

I'm on VZW and am considering switching back to Tmo. I have an S4 at current and I'm bootloader unlocked running Hyperdrive. I'm pretty sure my main contingency of switching is the ability to get another S4 that's bootloader unlocked so I can run my current setup.

Can anyone confirm whether the latest S4 update on locks the bootloader or not?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
The latest firmware for T-Mobile is 4.3 mk2. The bootloader is unlock but has built in Knox counter. Once trip it can't be reset voiding all warranty. If you're lucky enough to get one with 4.2.2 don't ota update.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] falconey07:
I know there has been discussion about how the home button moves and I have no fix for that. That actually doesn't bother me much because I have to really force my button to move for it to happen. The clicky/creaky crap from the button is unacceptable to me though and I had to fix it. For the first month I had my device the button was smooth to press and made no noise, but over time it became progressively creaky and harder to press. What I did to fix it isn't some Earth shattering solution, but it did work for me.

My Solution

Tools: WD-40 and a paper clip or a push pin(ones for sticking paper/posters into the wall) - I think a paper clip would work better than a push pin.

1. Spray some WD-40 into the cap that comes with the WD-40 or some other very small container. You don't need a lot; just enough where you have a very small puddle of oil.

2. Submerge the tip of your paper clip into the puddle you've created. When I did this the amount of oil on the tip of my paper clip was barely noticeable. I would suggest you keep your amount this low as well.

3. Now patiently take the paper clip and trace the surround of the home button. Lay the paper clip horizontal to the phone to reduce the risks of scratching the phone. If you can move your button it would be good to do so in order to gain more access to the side of the button.

4. Continue with steps 2 and 3 until the button becomes smooth to pressure.

My major tip for this is to be very patient and to use as little oil as possible. Like I said the amount of oil on the tip of my paper clip was barely noticeable to the eye. It took me about 4 passes to get the button to my desired smoothness.

Hopefully this helps someone out there.

Disclaimer - This is an electrical device and following the above steps to the exact specs could still ruin your expensive electronics. Certainly not following the exact steps could be an even worse outcome. I bare no responsibility for anyone ruining their expensive piece of equipment.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] thlinx:
It's a good idea but I just bought a Otterbox commuter and it comes with a casing the wraps around the button so no condensation can get to the button which I think is happening. The oils and moisture from your fingers could be causing the rust issue..

now, i've moved the caller id name app out of priv-app and created a new bak folder to completely get rid of it...will that stop this? i'm trying to get rid of all the bloat crap on the phone, this is step one (since i thought i had done it but then the name came up this morning).

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsexpress:
I've used my Nexus 7 2012 2A charger and my Anker 2A portable battery pack to charge various different phones including N4, N5 and HTC One without any issues-the phone's charging circuits will not allow them to charge at a higher current than the phone would like.

My worry with that charger would be the quality of it being a cheap Ebay special. Probably won't damage your device but then again it might, plus will it actually charge at 2A anyway?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjpallares:
Using a 5v 2.0 A charger should be fine. USB chargers are all 5V. The nexus 5 comes with a 1.2A charger. Using the 2A charger won't cause any harm because the phone itself draws the current it needs.

However, I did notice that while using my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 charger that has an output of 2A, that it started to charge my nexus at 1.5A.

So using a 2A charger over the 1.2A charger that came with the Nexus, will actually charge the phone about .3A faster

But you do have to watch who you buy it from. Some chargers don't output at the rate they are supposed to.

I know its my fault but i thought he can do it.

i asked him and he said this :

1- he made an update from ICS to JB so the Bluetooth and Wireless stopped working with sim card coz we are from Syria.

2- he tried to fix it by Dose programs but unfortunately he damaged it.

after i worked in a new device that i bought Xperia SL .

and i learned alot about android i found the problem is he damaged the MAC address for the Xperia J and in this Module Bluetooth and Wireless in the same chip

NOTE: i didnt find any file in SYSTEM for wireless or Mac address

/system/etc/firmware/wlan/macaddr0

/system/etc/firmware/wlan/macaddr1

[HTC One S] Grabarz19:
Hello.

Recently I've run into an annoying problem with my One S (S4) that I could use some help with. Basically, when while holding two fingers on the screen (two inputs) I release one, the other one "flickers" - turns on and off as you drag the finger across. It stops "flickering" after a mix of certain amount of time and movement on the screen and goes back to normal. Also it appears that while the phone is plugged, after initiating the bug it doesn't stop "flickering" until you stop charging.

The problem was tested in a multitouch tester, various games and the desktop screen (when swiping left/right after initiating the bug).

The phone was rooted recently and flashed to MIUI v5 downloaded from the official MIUI website.

I can't tell when exactly the issue came up, but rooting and flashing the phone might have been the culprit. The first time I noticed it was recently, when I tried to use the on-screen joystick controls for a PS1 emulator (FPse) which were practically unusable.

I'm looking for ways to fix this problem. Do you guys have any idea?

Did you disable the lockscreen? Try turning it back on if it's disabled.

[HTC One S] Grabarz19:
I'm fairly sure there is no way to disable the lock screen on MIUI v5 without using an app. Even if, why would that be relevant?

The problem exists everywhere, not only on the lock screen.
[HTC One S] the4biddendonut:
It's a problem on the one s as well as the one x. Don't ask me why, but I kept having problems with multi touch and found that enabling the lockscreen fixed it. Look it up yourself if you don't believe me.

[HTC One X] SteesXL:
Hello folks!

Please excuse my very basic questions here. I've never worked with HTCs before, but this one just came along my way.

First of all, this is about a HTC One XL. It's not an AT&T model (it's from Germany, in fact), but the only XL forum I could find here on XDA that was related to the XL was the AT&T XL forum. So I hope I'm at least posting in the right forum here?

So I got a One XL today which has what seems to me like a hardware problem - it does not recognize the sim and it's the first time I'm holding a HTC in my hands.

It's still under warranty, but before sending it in, I will have to make sure no one fiddled with it. That would have the warranty void and create costs just to get the phone back from service.

What I'd like to do - 1. Reflash the phone with stock firmware, just to make sure it has nothing to do with a weird software problem

2. Check whether the bootloader has been unlocked since I guess that would void the varranty too? If that's the case I would of course want to relock it before sending it in.

So how do you guys flash HTCs? Flashtool? Fastboot?

Also, I wasn't able to connect to HTC Sync Manager, even though the drivers seem to be installed correctly, the phone detected the connection and switched to USB debugging...but nothing...

Thank you very much for your help :victory:
[HTC One X] surrealjam:
Sorry but no - this is definitely the wrong forum! This is for the HTC One X which is a quad core Tegra 3 device only capable of 3g. Yours is an XL which will be a dual core Qualcomm device for LTE.

Your best bet is to go back over to the HTC One XL forum. I realise it only refers to American variants but that device has the same hardware as yours.
[HTC One X] SteesXL:
Thanks, I just read up a little bit and realized what you just said: It's running on a different chipset.

If a mod could move the thread, I'd be really thankful.

At the same time, I don't think that the questions I have just asked are chipset specific.
[HTC One X] surrealjam:
To check if the phone has ever been "tampered" with.

1) Ensure the Fast Boot mode in Settings > Power > Fast boot is OFF.

2) Switch off the phone

3) Power the phone on while holding the volume down button.

If the top it says "Locked" then it has never had its bootloader unlocked. If it says "Relocked" then it has been unlocked in the past. If it says "Unlocked"... you get the idea :)
[HTC One X] SteesXL:
Awesome! That's the info I needed.

So the HTCs come with a recovery, nice!

It's "Locked" so that's very good news for me :)

Now I just gotta find out how to flash it and/or why in the world it won't connect to HTC Sync Manager.

Thanks again! :good:
