[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merovingi0:
hello, I have a gt-i9505 galaxy s4 without the box, a month ago I uploaded the Google's firmware Google and today I wanted to bring it back to factory state. I used Odin but FAIL during flash and now the phone will not turn on. It always appears the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." It only works in DOWNLOAD MODE. My only doubt is the country of origin of the phone. I have tried to load an Italian firmware and maybe ther phone is European. how can I tell the country of origin? Do you have tips on how to restore it?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bordo_Bereli51:
Take off the battery cover

pull out the battery

see on sticker at phone the S/N Number

Go to kies, click on tools

click on firmware initialisation

write your model (in your case GT-I9505)

then click continue

then write your S/N click again continue

and follow the instruction,

but first boot to downloadmode

I get this errrore: "GT-I9505"does not support the initialization
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bordo_Bereli51:
Then download any unbranded based firmware and try via odin and try another usb port recommended: use the usb ports at the back of the pc

It really bothers me when I think my phone is on vibrate and I get a text message and its on full blast. I know I could do this on my rezound. Does the ultra not have this ability?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farfromuman:
I had this issue on my Razr M and had to use Tasker to fix it (some noted a reset fixed it for them), on my new Mini this bug is not present but the Volumes are still not linked.

I use Tasker to fix most of Androids shortcomings and bugs. For this one I have a Profile to check for Ringer Volume changes and as soon as there is a change it makes the Notifications the same level. You could also do some math to offset the volumes so for example it sets "Notification Volume=Ringer Volume - 1"

[LG Optimus G Pro] tombdaddy482:
First let me say this is my first post here and I know absolutely nothing about rooting and everything that goes along with it. So here is my problem:

I have a rooted LG Optimus G Pro that I got when I traded someone. I did not know that you could not do an AT&T system update with a rooted phone. I tried to do this update and my phone starts with the stock LG screen for a couple of seconds and then opens the Team Win Recovery Project v2.6.0.0 screen. I just want to get my phone back to where I can make calls and such because my wife just had a baby about an hour ago and I can't post anything to anywhere without using the computer!! I tried restarting and messing around with rebooting through Team Win but it just goes back to the same screen!

Please help!! Any advice is greatly appreciated!!

Actually you can update a rooted phone just not with custom recovery like cwm or twrp.

Also, since you're on AT&T you'll need a .tot file not the .kdz file to reflash back to stock. There are two available either April or July 2013 works fine. I did mine with the July one. Be sure to root your phone before taking the update. Then use freegee to get back your recovery. Unfortunately everything on your phone will be erased.

[LG Optimus G Pro] tombdaddy482:
So I take it there is no way for me to just stop the update and go back to where I was?

The links that were posted just seem like a lot of stuff that I am not too comfortable doing. I don't want to accidentally brick my phone!
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
My bad .tot file.

restoring back to stock isnt as hard as it looks... just read the AT$T guide. And go step by step. Once you do it once youll realize it isnt as complicated as it sounds.

[LG Optimus G Pro] tombdaddy482:
I am going to try and knock it out. I downloaded everything from the links posted, my only other questions are can I do all of this on my iMac, and i need some clarification on the first step

Install

1. Install the LG drivers downloaded above.

2. Install LGFlashTools v1.6 (but don't run it)

3. Extract the TOT file from the ZIP

Am I installing this on the computer or the phone?

Sorry for the dumb questions but I switched over from iPhones to Android and I could do all jailbreaking and everything on those, with Androids I am learning all of this right now!

Thanks again for the help!
[LG Optimus G Pro] tombdaddy482:
I tried to install the driver on my Mac and it says that I cannot install a Windows program on my computer. Is there any way I can fix this damn phone on my mac?

Hey guys! Recently rooted using safestrap because I was running out of space on my s4 For even primary functions. So I decided I would root and use an app to delete some bloatware. Well, I got a little carried away and deleted a few system apps that other apps rely on. I tried a simple data reset, nothing. I tried unrooting via supersu and then data resetting again, none of the system apps reappeared. For some reason I Mistakenly thought a data reset would fix anything and that seems to be way off. Any help would be much appreciated. In particular I deleted the system calendar and now my work calendar won't sync even though I still have Google calendar installed . Help!

Correct, I meant saferoot. Thanks for your guys' quick response. The phone isn't bricked just a little buggy on that single app. So close! haha. I'm downloading the mk2 factory image right now. My internet is horrendous in the midwest but once It's download, honestly I'm not sure how to use odin to flash that stock image and get those factory apps back. I looked at the {odin}{TAR} VRUEMK2 emergency wipe which is probably what I want to do, but it's a little confusing what I'm supposed to do with the file once I've downloaded it to my computer.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimdavis:
Hi, I have had my Moto G since Christmas, I am having some problems with the sound on calls.

When I make or receive a call the sound is very quiet and even on loud speaker I can only just hear the person talking. I have turned up the sound all the way during calls but nothing. I have looked at a few settings but nothing seems to help.

My volume control is set to max for everything and the only way I have found for the volume to come back is to turn my phone on and off but after one call its gone back really quiet again. My speakers work fine for music and games it just seems to be during calls.

Any ideas that could help me would be very appreciated,

Thanks, Kim.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ander75it:
In my phone the problem showed up after the KitKat update. While we wait for Motorola to fix this (hopefully), there is a workaround: just lower and raise volume during the call. Works like a charm.

So I took my smartwatch in the shower with me foolishly thinking the steam wouldn't affect it. Here are the results:

Anyone else had this issue, any luck getting sony to fix/replace the screen?
[Sony Smartwatch] RyanEJ25:
dang you beat the hell out of that watch. Try putting it in a bag of un cooked rice with the charging door open. Only thing I can think of.
[Sony Smartwatch] micro17:
hmm i think sony will replace it... but you never know...

but they have to cause it is!! a defect. And it is on the right side... the usb hole is on the other side.

I had a long! hot! bath with may watch and no problems... after 20 minutes playing around in the water (its funny ;) the screen suddenly freezed.

I was shocked... but after the bath it became healty again. :) So no more bathing with my watch :/

[Sony Smartwatch] enigma_x:
Well, it is interesting because they says that sw2 is waterproof

http://userguide.sonymobile.com/ref...artwatch-2-sw2#!Water-resistance---AccCA.html

" Your*SmartWatch 2*is waterproof and dust resistant in compliance with the Ingress Protection ratings IP57 (see details below)

You can therefore use the device in dusty environments, when your fingers are wet, and in extreme weather conditions, for example, when it’s snowing or raining, or when humidity levels are high.*

[Sony Smartwatch] enigma_x:
Yes they propably try to use terms like warm water and steam. But they also says that you can use the watch in extreme weather conditions like in a high humidity. So can you use the watch in a rainforest? A humidity is always over 80% and a temperature is over 30C.

I bet they says that a warm shower is too much and the steam can access to the watch when a warm environment (in a shower) causes physical changes in materials.

Well, the manual and advertisement was one reason for me to get this watch (instead of gear) because I live in a place with extreme weather conditions. On winter it may be even -40C outside (now it is -14C) and on summer 30C while it's snowing or raining or just the humidity is high. Im worried about the possible moisture (condensation) when I come inside from a cold weather.

I still woudnt use it in a shower or in a bath.
[Sony Smartwatch] peterlolty:
I use my sw2 in bath with hot water for nearly two months, and it still works fine.

I think Sony did not do well about the QC so some of the watch break easily and some of the watch works fine for long terms.
[Sony Smartwatch] swallow74:
I put my watch few seconds under cold water and display has become spotted. IP57? In my experience seems IP00... I think the problem is related to bad glass assembling, a problem already reported from some users of this forum.

That black spot is gonna grow. My was just a little spot in the down right corner. But it grows bigger and bigger, and soon the display is black,,

Here is my after a couple of hours in a swimming pool.. :)
[Sony Smartwatch] Chris_c81:
You guys must have money to burn!! I mean jeez, our sofa is fire retardant to abide by the British Standard Furniture and Furnishing Fire Safety Regulation, but that doesn't mean I take a flame thrower to it to test it!

Despite how Sony word it, I read it as 'water resistant' i.e. if you look at your watch momentarily or NOT for extended durations in the rain. I'd be pretty miffed if it failed under rainy conditions like that. However, taking it in the swimming pool or bath - you're asking for trouble surely!?
[Sony Smartwatch] QuaQuaRaQuaQua:
Just a little update

[Sony Smartwatch] QuaQuaRaQuaQua:
Just a little update...

Well, today the black spot is retiring, but the display doesn't show the icons like earlier :laugh:

[MENTION=5039407]Chris_c81[/MENTION] This watch is just a toy. There is no actual good use for it other than using it as a cool watch.

I've used it in the shower 50 times with no problems, in the bathtub some times without any issues, so the next step had to be a swimming pool.

The SW2 is supposed to be IP57. That means that it could be 1 meter (3 feet) in water for 30 min. I was in the swimming pool with my kids for a couple of hours...

Trying to bring this to Sony would be hopeless anyways...
[Sony Smartwatch] enigma_x:
Despite and despite, they also said in the manual: "You can therefore use the device in dusty environments, when your fingers are wet, and in extreme weather conditions, for example, when it’s snowing or raining, or when humidity levels are high."

So it cant fail in rain, if it does that, the unit is faulty. Read the above "you can use it... snowing or raining..." And yes, I agree, it is not waterproof, so I wouldnt take it to the pool or bath either.

Quaqua... have you tried to dry that watch in a dry environment? (like a plastic bag filled by rice or silicagel)

[Sony Smartwatch] QuaQuaRaQuaQua:
Another update...

Plugging in the power makes the watch warmer and the moist is vaporizing, and therefore the black aria is getting smaller. But the display doesn't seem to work any better (yet)

[MENTION=5040235]enigma_x[/MENTION] Thats a good idea. I'll find some silicagel somewhere around the office here and try :good:
[Sony Smartwatch] Chris_c81:
Still, a pretty costly "toy". Personally I wouldn't want to wreck it simply to test it's claimed waterproof level.
[Sony Smartwatch] QuaQuaRaQuaQua:
It's getting better...

Maybe it'll survive..
[Sony Smartwatch] AlexOB1:
I completely disagree! I use it massively and really missed it while waiting for a warranty replacement.
[Sony Smartwatch] Nomad1600:
I had a phone (HTC Thunderbolt) that got wet in a rain storm (while in my pocket... that's how heavy a rain we get in Houston). I tried the rice in a bag trick, which didn't work, so I ended up taking it to a cellphone repair place that took the phone apart, applied a drying agent (chemical) and cleaned it really well. Phone not only was revived, but actually worked better than before.

Its possible that a cell phone place may be able to tackle your watch... but the cost may be prohibitive. Especially as Best Buy seems to be having the SW2 for $160 more and more often.

Slowly dying...

Last night, the poor thing started vibrating every 10-12-15 minutes, shaking like with fever, with no good reason other than the water episode. Had the watch on a heater all night, but i think it's slowly dying.. The screen doesn't show the icons anymore. As soon as i push the button, the fuzzy "analog" clock disappears, and the screen goes black. There is some light in the background but the screen is black.. This now looks really bad. Poor thing... :eek:

Well, it took them 5 weeks of waiting for stock and a letter of complaint but I finally have my SW2 back as good as new. Only thing is I've gotten used to not having it now plus Android Wear has made it seem a little outdated. Still at least they repaired it for me! :D :good:

[Sony Smartwatch] Ryland Johnson:
IF IF IF you take a few minutes of your time to read the instructions and manual and make yourself aware of the watches characteristics you should have little problem.

Avoid emersion in water especially swimming pools that have chemicals added that will affect the membranes over time. Remember this is a precision instrument and will not take kindly to being abused by bashing it about. If you treat the watch with respect and use basic common sense in accordance with the manual you should be fine.

There are some known problems with this watch. The internal section of the watch can become detached from the body, mine did so I sent it back and a replacement was sent before my return even reached the retailer.

I also suggest using a screen saver they are very inexpensive.

For the financial expenditure (110.00€) I find the watch highly satisfactory and its fits my personal needs very well indeed. Please notice I wrote 'my personal needs', your needs may differ?

Oh, if you read ANY forum before you make a purchase you would never make another purchase in your life :( Not even the shoes you stand up in.

Kind regards,

I always take off my watch when I get home, there is no reason to wear it all day long, it's unhealthy, you should clean it thoroughly and never wear it for more than 10 hours, you have no idea of how many bacterias are sitting there, between your skin and the watch! Also by taking a bath with it, doesn't necessarily mean that it gets clean!

Oh well, bacteria are good thing though. And the watch is aluminium and it decreases bacteria growth...

My old chrome bezel started to leave wear on it and I decided to go ahead and buy a new bezel which was pretty cheap. So when my new bezel came in I replaced it for the old bezel. When I took the old one out I didn't want to throw it away, so I decided to customize the old one and see how it would go. I wasn't losing anything but time. Turns out it came out pretty nice and I wanted to share it with you guys because you guys can do it too. :good::good:

Hi everyone

So I was trying to root my SGH-T999V(Wind) based on GalaxyS3Root.com

Everything was going well until I tried getting into ClockworkMod Recovery to install SuperUser where i got the dead android with a red triangle. I've been looking around the threads/google/youtube but the only solution that I found was similar was for a Galaxy Nexus

How do I get rid of the dead android with red triangle and get into ClockworkMod Recovery? The only solution I think I have is to factory reset the phone

Other solutions would be greatly appreciated!

Question part two: if I do a factory reset, do i need to reroot? or do i just try going back into ClockworkMod Recovery and install SuperUser
