[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Repulsa:
If you want to change yoyr CSC, please use Samsung Galaxy S2/S3 CSC Changer (PlayStore) After using this app you MUST reboot again into STOCK RECOVERY(manually POWER+VOLUP) for the changes to take place.You will see message "CSC xxx applied.." and then you can reboot to Android .f still doesnt work try this :) have a nice day.

1.Make sure you take a backup via Kies

2.Download the respective stock ROMS from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com

3.Extract zip to get tar.md5

4.Put device into download mode (Power+ Volume down) and Flash using Odin (PDA option)

5.Wait till device reboots back into Android after completing the flash and recovery

6.Once device reboots, do a Factory Reset via Settings > Accounts

7.Once device reboots after Factory Reset/recovery, enter the google account info and restore settings and then turn off the device

8.Boot device back into download mode (Power+Vol down)

9.Re-flash the same downloaded firmware for a second time via Odin

10.Once the device reboots after the 2nd flash, your CSC should have changed to the CSC of the ROM you downloaded, and Kies also should show that CSC has changed and it should allow future updates via Kies or OTA

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POLO_i780:
Hi there.

I'm not sure if you read my 1st post, the issue here is that I've got both CSC Changer and CSC Select installed. Changer does nothing when I click Change CSC, and CSC Select doesn't have the CSC I want, which is XFA, I am already Rooted BTW. So I want a XFA CSC package so I can flash it via Odin.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Repulsa:
Oh yea ived been reading all right. Maybe it doesnt change because your recovery is not even stock? you need to give us more information about your phone in order to solve your problem ie: Stock/Custom Etc....and if you really wanna extract the CSC. Here's what you need to do. have a nice day.

1.Download the appropriate firmware for your region from sammobile.

2.Extract Hidden.img and cache.img

3.Now compress these two files together into a .Tar file.

4.Flash this in PDA/CSC section of Odin

5.Done!

Hi guys,

I wrote this app to provide detailed information about our Note 3, including:

SAMSUNG SPECIFIC INFO:

- Phone Colour (Samsung specific)

- Phone Manufacturing Date (Samsung specific)

- Knox Warranty Void (Samsung specific)

- CSC Product Code (Samsung specific)

- CSC Sales Code (Samsung specific)

- Country Region (Samsung specific)

- RIL Serial Number (Samsung specific)

- PDA Version (Samsung specific)

- CSC Version (Samsung specific)

- Changelist (Samsung specific)

... ...

Using this app you can know exactly what country your phone has been produced for. So you can choose the correct firmware to flash.

You can known your Bootloader version so you can decide what method use to root, whether the Knox will be tripped, which firmware version can be flash over...

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pulverizer:
Hi! folks!

I known that recently European Note3 & Galaxy devices are locked by regional lock.

I would like to this european regional lock can unlock by at least 5minute in roaming status.

This is my scenario

1. buy Galaxy Note 3 from UNITED KINGDOM and going to Korea

2. In Korea, put the UK O2 sim card or Swisscom sim card on Note 3 unlokced device. (Device will must be going to Roaming status)

3. Make a oversea call to UK O2 SIM number or Swisscom SIM number and get the call on Note 3 by korea landline number.

4. keep calling status at least 5 minute (yes, oversea call fee will be apply )

5. DONE. country unlocked!!

Who can verify above my scenario is correct or not?

If my scenario is wroing, this regional unlock by calling 5minute unlock method is only accepted european networks (like T-mobile, O2, Orange..or ETC..) ?

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Caniv:
so I baught a few USB cables from eBay and dealextreme and they charge the phone super slow.

battery widget shows they charge at about 50, compared to my retail that charges super fast at 1000

where do i get GOOD cables?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] timtlm:
A few years ago I bought a couple of blackberry OEM cables on Amazon, and ever since, those have been my favorite ones because they are really nice high quality cables. Recently, I was looking to buy some more, and I bought a pack of 5 for $10 from the ebay listing below. I can vouch that they are the same genuine blackberry cables I've received in the past.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/5X-Genuine-...Phone_PDA_Cables_Adapters&hash=item5d40bcb6aa
[Nexus 5 Accessories] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
I don't think its the USB that slows down the charging. It's the charger? I bought plenty of cheap USB and all charge at same speeds using the stock wall charger..
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Caniv:
first of all, thank you!

2nd lol @28usd shipping to Israel

but should i be just looking for OEM cables?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Caniv:
same charger head, just switching between the cable itself
[Nexus 5 Accessories] timtlm:
Yes, I would look for genuine OEM cables from a name brand. However, with ebay or other sites that have 3rd party sellers, they will often say OEM when in fact they are knock offs. It is more common with chargers than cables. I felt comfortable with that ebay listing because it looked like an actual picture of the product and not a stock image. Also, I already owned a couple, so I knew what they looked like with the blackberry logo on the end.

Fosmon Vivid Series Flat Tangle Free Micro USB Cable for Smartphones and Other Micro USB Devices (6 Feet, Blue) by Fosmon Technology http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E0M55RC/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_she1sb0525RFD

Comes in a variety of colors. Looks like as of this writing, only the 6ft length is prime eligible. 3ft length has a $2.98USD shipping cost.

I use these all over, have bought many and all are still working great. I use them with a 2A anker charger. Charges my phone very quickly.

Good luck

I just posted a thread about this yesterday.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2608236

It's also got a $10 off $30 deal as well. Make sure to choose the Premium Micro USB cable, as the normal one is not guaranteed to charge quickly.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] addonelam:
Wow, these cables look...nice.

Hopefully I can find them off Amazon.ca later... :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AntikytheraTech:
Yeah I purchased initially because I wanted a flat cable. These really are tangle free and they are tough as nails. I bunch them up, roll them up, tug/pull etc and have yet to have one fall apart or crap out functionally.

Biggest problem I have with it is my coworkers stealing it from my desk! :-p
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
What's the mA charge rate when you use it with your 2A anker charger? Does it allow fast charge (Full 1050mA)?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AntikytheraTech:
sorry, I do not know how to test that...?

I am using it with these chargers:

Anker® 18W/3.6A Dual-Port USB Wall Charger / Portable Travel Charge... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B8L36A6/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_SVf1sb1DQ2N3K

Anker® USB 24W / 4.8A Dual-Port Car Charger - Simultaneous, full-speed charging(White) by Anker http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B8M4IMK/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_GXf1sb07XQGKT

It definitely charges substantially faster than the OEM wall charger for my Nexus 5. That may be the charger or cable or both.

Would be happy to test the mA charge rate but I assume I would need an ammeter which I do not have.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
If you could test that would be great! I just ordered a bunch of high quality full speed micro USB cables from monoprice that I linked above, but I wouldn't mind having some more that were a little more fun and colorful. It's always nice to change things up every now and again.

You don't need a multimeter or anything.

Just get CurrentWidget off of the play store (it's free) and add a widget to your homescreen. Set the update interval to 1 second, and watch for the highest number to repeat multiple times (it will always fluctuate up and down, but the highest number will keep popping up) that's your max. It may take a few minutes to get to the top speed, but you'll know when the same number range keeps showing.

It's probably not 100% accurate, but it gives a good ballpark number. The stock LG charger/cable charges at ~1050mA. If the flat cables allow full speed charging, you should be able to match that.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AntikytheraTech:
Installed CurrentWidget and ran the tests - very sad to see these fosmon cables that I love so much are limiting my rate of charge.

I tested the Anker wall charger with both the 3ft and 6ft fosmon cables at work and got a max value of 480mA. At home I got a max value of 518mA

I tested the Anker car charger with both cables and was floating around 350mA

When I got home I compared (using the same outlet) the Anker wall charger versus a Blackberry Charger I have (which is the fastest charger I own) and found a distinct difference. As stated before the Anker wall charger with both lengths of fosmon cable maxed at 518mA. The blackberry charger maxed at 1589mA.

FWIW, here is the blackberry charger I used (no, the cable is not detachable from the wall adapter)

Blackberry Folding Blade Charger for Playbook (Black) by BlackBerry http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004OZMWUS/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_yRj1sb0GXKWB1
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
:( Sorry to hear about the cables, I was going to grab a few if your results were different. And sorry about making you sad bud... I guess you can see that it's not just a high amp adapter/charger that is important, but the USB cable has to support high charge rate as well.

Your Anker wall/car chargers are very good though, if you used different cables (or even the stock Nexus 5 cable), the charge rate would be faster.

I've heard of the Blackberry charger being very good, but to get it in Canada (amazon.com won't ship it here) I have to use amazon.ca and they charge $20+ for it... Which is so stupid considering Blackberry is a Canadian company located in Ontario... You'd think it'd be a bit cheaper in the motherland.

But it's not really necessary for me anyway, I'm making an attempt to have all of my chargers as Qi chargers. I have plenty of 2A adapters, I just wanted really good USB cables to make sure my Qi chargers are getting fully juiced so they can provide the full 1A output.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AntikytheraTech:
No worries - if anything I thank you for showing me how to test it. I had read a review on these fosmon cables saying they were fast current but never went so far as to test (because I thought I needed an ammeter to do it).

These cables still have their use, but I will be snagging a few of those ones linked on monoprice for my bedside, work and car chargers.

I am going to look more at fosmon too (maybe reach out with an email) and see if they offer or plan to offer a flat micro USB with more amperage.

Side note: which Qi charger are you using? Specifically using well with those cables from monoprice.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] wyrman:
Ordered a bunch. There are even cheaper that Amazon.com
[Nexus 5 Accessories] timtlm:
I actually ran some tests on the blackberry OEM cables and noticed a difference as well. It seems the blackberry cables are maxing out around 800mA. I still want to do more tests, though. Has anyone tested the monoprice premium cables?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AntikytheraTech:
I just ordered the premium cables from monoprice in both 3ft and 6ft lengths. If no one has tested them by the time mine arrive I will post back with results
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
I actually haven't got the monoprice cables in yet. I've just read multiple threads here at xda and randomly at other forums all saying the premium cables (only the premium ones, their normal ones do not quick charge) are quite good. Monoprice also has a lifetime warranty on cables, so if they ever break just tell them and you get free replacements. I don't know how well that will work up to Canada, shipping might negate that, but it's nice to know.

I'm just using a couple of generic Qi chargers from ebay.

Specifically this one (which no longer comes with a USB cable, doesn't bother me because the cable was terrible anyway) (1 more charger in the mail).

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/171170048431...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

And this one (comes with the same cable). The charger works just as well as the above (when I changed the cable) but feels more cheaply made:

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/121176056602...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Both of them using the included cables charged around 300mA. I replaced them temporarily with my old Motorola Ecomoto cable from my Atrix, and the stock Nexus 5 cable and now both charge at 740 - 750mA (which is full speed from a 1A Qi charger).

I also have 2 of these coming in the mail which should get here this week hopefully.

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/271329239542?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

And 2 of these as well.

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Qi-W...ers-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-SIV/1510301143.html

I'll be using them all scattered around my house and office. They are all rated the same output (1A) which is the highest standard available. I'm not sure what the cables are like on the 2 models I haven't received yet, but they are advertised as USB Charging cables, vs not mentioning cables at all for the other ones I received. But that doesn't matter as I've ordered 10 of the monoprice premium cables anyway (5x 3' and 5x 6'), so if they're bad, I'll switch them.

---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------

Did you make sure to use the discount code I provided in the link (if you spent that much anyway)? $10 off $30.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AntikytheraTech:
I did try it,but my total was only ~$11 ( 2x3ft and 2x6ft) so it said I needed to add more to my cart. Shows that the code will still work (up to March if I recall correctly) but must have at least $30 worth of products when you check out. Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] daewond3r:
I'm also curious about the premium monoprice cable.

http://www.monoprice.com/Product/?c_id=103&cp_id=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=9762

vs.

http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=103&cp_id=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=5458&seq=1&format=2

I've been using the latter with my last 3 phones and have had good results. At more than $1.50 more, I wonder what the premium cable has that the other doesn't ...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] raichur0xx0rz:
Performance-wise, I don't really notice a difference, but I do prefer the "premium" ones over my standard ones. I bought many of the "normal" ones in the past from them and the microUSB connect seemed very fragile and I wound up breaking most of them due to accidental slips or something.

I prefer the "premium" ones mainly because of the size of the plastic around the connector. It's slimmer which helps with case-compatibility and just feels nicer to use =\ The connection also feels slightly more secure.

Personal preference...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Have you tested for a performance difference between the normal and premium cables?

I know it may not feel like there is a difference, but from what I have read here at xda and elsewhere is that there is a difference in tested charge rate, especially when you get closer to 1000mA and above. The normal cables can't handle a higher charge rate/quick charge/high amp charging.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] raichur0xx0rz:
I have not... If you could note a reliable app to use to monitor the charge then I can report back on any differences. Though it would be over the course of two days probably as I would want to start charging the phone at around the same percentages.

Or I can just use an app that others have mentioned in the thread.

EDIT: I also mention that I don't notice much of a difference as I very rarely use them directly with the phones, but use them with my Qi pad. But yeah, I can definitely help provide some numbers.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Sure, it was me that mentioned how to do it earlier in this thread. :p

Get CurrentWidget from the play store (free), add a widget to the home screen, set to 1 second update interval, watch in happiness/anger/boredom/indifference for a while (few minutes maybe) until you keep seeing the highest number keep popping up. That's your max.

EDIT: I also use Qi chargers, but the USB cable can also limit the proper power/current provided to the Qi charger. This can affect the overall Qi charging speed. If you look at my post just above (#23) you can see the difference it makes just switching out the cable.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] timtlm:
I've noticed that depending on your battery level, you will get a different charge rate. I believe it slows down as you get above 80%. I just tested my blackberry OEM cables, and now I'm getting better results now that my battery is below 20%. I'll do some more testing with some different chargers later tonight.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] raichur0xx0rz:
Yeah, that's what I thought happened as well. Definitely noticeable on the iPhone.

I would assume depending on the phone/processor, charge rates differ as well? Doesn't the Snapdragon 800 support some sort of fast-charging?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Yes that is true. The very beginning (first 10% or so) and the ending (70% and above, depending on device) of the charge cycle will be slowed. This is to protect the device and the battery. It's the same on all phones.

So if you are going to do charge rate tests, anywhere in to 20 - 70% range will give you the fastest results as the phone will allow the full current it can handle.

Just think of the beginning and end of the charge cycle, as the warm up and cool down periods before and after a race.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] raichur0xx0rz:
Yeah, that's what my plan was. I usually get my Nexus 5 down to about 30-40% range after a day of streaming at work so it should be good.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] addonelam:
Those Fosmon cable results don't seem that great :(

Luckily, I'm not in a real rush to get more cables...though it would've been great to have! Amazon.ca actually has the 6 ft. for $4.75, shipping included!
