If you are rooted,

Take nandroid backup - this is a system image in case everything gets screwed up

Titanium Backup - this will allow you to create backups of apps and app-data for any app, or sms or call log etc

FolderSync will backup individual files

If you are not rooted,

Email/contacts/calendar are auto-backed up to Google

Photos - enable google plus auto backup (or dropbox or copy auto-backup)

Music - store on google music, so no need for separate backup

Helium - allows backup of app/app-data

Individual files - FolderSync

iTunes or iCloud works great because you just turn it on and it backs up everything, and if required you can restore from there. To me, it's great because it's "first party". :D

How safe are the apps that are not available through the officially channels?

One of the apps I installed outside of the Google Play Store was Netflix as it isn't available in my country's Play Store... but I don't think it will ever see updates? (Is that correct?)

For what it's worth: I do not intend to install any antivirus in my phone...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MiSieeQ:
Hi!

I have bought a new Anker 4.8A dual-port car charger. The one here: http://www.amazon.com/Anker®-USB-4-8A-Dual-Port-Charger/dp/B00B8M4IMK and it does not work in my skoda fabia ;/

The previous car charger of mine - the original samsung's one works flawlessly, the usb cable also isn't a problem, there are no issues with it.

I have no idea why it won't work, i was already moving the charger to the sides etc. in the socket and still nothing.

Any help would be appreciated :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
Sorry, mate, i COULD NOT RESIST:

Buy Porsche, your problem will gone

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

seriously this time: check if:

1. socket provides voltage (LED on charger, if present, should light up. If not present, check if lighter is getting hot);

2. check the charger fuse (unscrew the show ring, the center pin is usually fused);

3. check the cable (if can be separated from the charger) with your PC;

4. check if the charger works with another device (other phone, mp3 player etc)

5. check if the charger spec says that it provides at least 1000mAh output
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hindo2:
Contact their customer service and see they'd exchange one for you. I've got a RavPower dual car charger. Not any problems so far.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaswinky:
Have you tried both ports, also in Apple port? I am not really sure, but i think apple chargers also have bridged their data pins as Samsung has for original charger recognition. If you connect your s4 in a standard charger without this bridge, it will only provide 850mA instead of 1900mA, even if the changer is 2400mA max current as yours.

Mmmmmmm, your issue, it doesn't charge at all or it doesn't recognize the charger, or it just charges slowly?

[Paranoid Android Q&A] robocode:
So I finally decided to try a custom ROM on my Galaxy S2 I9100 and went for paranoid android. I went with this version pa_i9100-3.99-RC2-20131031.zip and this version for google apps gapps-jb-20130726-pa4.3.zip. My question is a really basic one. How do I keep up to date? Solely through GooManager? When a new version is released what steps do I follow? Thanks in advance.
[Paranoid Android Q&A] Bowmanspeer:
You were able to root the phone and get the custom ROM on there so that's the hard part. Every ROM thread will usually let you know if you need to do a full wipe or or just wipe caches. I think its best to download to computer then move zip pkg to SD card on phone. Pay attention to gapps packages. They can vary with what ROM you're going to flash. Use the one recommended for each ROM. Do yourself a favor and read. That way you can learn from mistakes other people make or better yet, have less chance to make any mistake. Take your time.
[Paranoid Android Q&A] robocode:
Great, thanks. With the gapps packages, once I install the appropriate zip (found on the ROM thread), do I then update through the Play store or through GooManager? How will I know if the update is the correct one for my ROM?
[Paranoid Android Q&A] Bowmanspeer:
Your ROM manager is smart like that. ;) Be sure to take your time and read. If you don't, you could have problems.
[Paranoid Android Q&A] hallstevenson:
You never have to update your Google Apps "package" (unless you flash a new ROM). Once the GApps package is installed, all of the pieces are updated individually through the Play Store.
[Paranoid Android Q&A] robocode:
That's great to hear, thanks. That answers my question!

Just wish they would add a kitkat based theme.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] abdel12345:
+1 to that. The holo blue feels out of place and the rainbow slider isn't very professional looking. But other than these shall aesthetics it works amazing. The keys feel bigger too.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plewis1981:
Hi all, its as the title says really. Today I flashed beanstalk ROM and I absolutely love it, I just want to make sure that running this ROM will not damage my phone, as I have XT1032 not a XT1034 as is stated in the title of the zip anddon't want to kill my new baby lol,

All seema fine although I have noticed that the min CPU speed is at 1190 and I can't change it, is this the CPU frequency's issue I have read about in various threads hear on XDA?

Also when I send a text I get a message that messaging has stopped, even though the message still sends so its not that bigger deal if its just a first build glitch,

Thanks in advance for any advice you may be able to give.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aeonlinux:
My understanding is the only difference is the radios. Would probably explain SMS bug. I could be wrong...
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
I believe if you flashed the ROM via recovery, the existing radio firmware remains untouched. ROMs and radio firmware are always separate. It's only through fastboot and flashing a complete firmware image including modem files, that you might have problems related to radio.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gasolin:
Just bought me a Note 3 (have a note 2 N7100) and allready bought me a tough case from casemate, but what about screen protection?

Use one or not? I mean its gorilla glass 3 (gorilla glass 2 on the note 2, gorilla glass 1 on the first note?)

If i deside to buy one, which easy to put on screen protection would you recommend me? (hate dirt and fingerprints under a screen protection)

I would prefer if it didn't cost more then 20€ with shipping to denmark (if they don't have it in denmark)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] harajyuks:
The glass feels so great to the finger, I can understand why you wouldn't want a plastic screen protector taking that feeling away. I agree, if on principal, you refuse to pay more than a determined amount for a screen protector; however I do have to say that the glass screen protectors available for the Note 3 are well worth that investment. There are now a variety available at different price points increasing your options. You won't have any remorse in buying one of these products as you get the protection and the great feeling of glass.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gasolin:
I used something from copter on my note 2 (swedish manufactory) beacuse i don't wanna get scratches on my phone, especially when it's new.

I also want it to almost to feel as new when i sell it so i can get a good price (1-2 years)

I want something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aI9WlhhuPvg

payed for the last 2-3 screen protection (samsung galaxy) not more then 20€ so that price is something i would go for, also think it's a reasonable price
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gasolin:
I might go with the spigen as in my youtube link, but what should i buy?

http://www.spigen.com/brands/samsun...galaxy-note-3-screen-protector-steinheil.html

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Eric214:
1st I'll say anyone that doesn't put a screen protector on is moron in my book. $700 phone why wouldn't you? But, I can't stand film protectors. I will only use a tempered glass screen protector. I use only MIME Ghost Glass. It has a 9h rating o on the hardness scale which means it's harder to scratch then your screen. And it feels smoother and less drag them the actual screen does.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
pay $7 for a glass protector. do it. do it now.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mrrobc97:
I second Eric (without calling anyone a moron) but I've been the type to not start using a device without installing a case and screen protector. Yeah the new glass ones are great..way better than the plastic ones. I still have the Vibrant that I got when it came out. It been thru me, my wife, son, and now my 9y.o. daughter. It does not have a single minuscular scratch on the screen.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] pro4ever:
always on any phone ive ever had :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gasolin:
Any speciel one you would recommend that can be shipped to denmark, that dosn't cost almost as much as the screen protection?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gasolin:
I have a case mate tough case so the screen protection i choose is something that must fit with the tough case on

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] harajyuks:
As the title states, here are the mods I made to get NFC working with my Qi Reciever on my S View case. Basically I turned this

Into this

In an attempt to reduce the size of the bulge on my S View case to a minimum. I was able to retain the wireless charging and S View functions.

People have already been using this setup, with or without removing the excess material from the qi receiver with success; those who have know that this setup also renders NFC useless.

This was OK with me at the time but then I learned about RootCloak, the Xposed Module that allows you to hide SU from target applications, allowing rooted users of the Verizon Note 3 to use Isis NFC tap and pay functions. I was determined to get NFC, Wireless Charging and S View all working, and decided to take a chance and make a few more reductions to the Qi receiver to try to get this to work. What I ended up with is this

Using a razor blade I cut away all the plastic that was not integral in the circuitry or the coil for the qi receiver. I tried to take a picture to show that.

Anyway the end result is as I stated before, S View, Wireless Charging and NFC.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] harajyuks:
I tried to take the screen shots in direct succession so that people would be satisfied that I'm not full of BS. However I had to restore a backup of my old school screen shot app (since I haven't had to use it since my Note 2) in order to get the S View screenshot. Of course the TiBu restored app didn't work since it was a version for ICS from my HTC Rezound days, so I had to update the app from the Playstore... accounting for the changes in time 12:22, 12:23, 12:29. I assure you that I have not tried to pull any BS, and I do have all three of these functions working.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kudosmog:
That's pretty awesome, and modding one of those mudder receivers would only cost 10 bucks if you mess it up.

I worry about the receiver being bare like that though. You don't think it will cause any damage due to the heat being directly on the battery/door instead of through the coating originally put on it?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] harajyuks:
Honestly, yes that is a concern. Mudder manufacturers the Qi receiver with a substantial amount of thermal padding on the coil. The exposed coil, to my surprise, was actually also enveloped inside of a plastic film, as pictured. I have ripped apart other Qi receivers, copper wire receivers, to reduce the bulge through the back cover, leaving them exposed and they also produced a fair amount of heat while charging/immediately after being removed from the charging base.

In this useage, since I made these changes to the Mudder receiver, I can say that this setup doesn't get nearly as warm to the touch after being on my Qi pad overnight while charging as the exposed copper wire receivers I have also made changes to does (which is kind of an obvious statement as exposed copper wire will clearly get hotter than this Murder coil which is enveloped in the plastic film).

Personally, I was comfortable with the amount of heat that my original copper wire qi receiver gave off after I made the changes to it, as it was (believe it or not) not much warmer than the use of the receiver before I modified it. Having experienced that setup, I am definitely more confident in the Mudder receiver being used with these changes I made.

Notably, I was using the exposed copper wire reciever for about a month before I found out about the Mudder version, without any problems, and my current setup really doesn't get any warmer to the touch than using the wall plug.

Of course I am running a risk of having an issue since I have modified these products from their original design and intended use, but I am within my comfort-zone based on my experiences. As long as nothing explodes and burns my house down!

Btw, that coating in the Mudder receiver is easily double the thickness of the of the actual receiver.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] harajyuks:
Wow, the camera on the OG Note 10.1 SUCKS! smh
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kudosmog:
I just cut up some of mine and left that thermal padding on and I got nfc working much better now (not 100% though).

If I get it in the right spot it does work all the time, but there's little margin for error. I'll probably keep chopping away and testing to see if I can keep the thermal stuff on it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] harajyuks:
Its nice to get NFC working since there is a work around for ISIS now, I doubt I would have tried this if not for RootCloak.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kudosmog:
ISIS works flawlessly, even with my half cut up version.

I was *told* the NFC for ISIS sits on the sim card. But I dunno if I believe it.

Either way, while I still have some small issues with NFC in general, ISIS works perfectly.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dabgoo:
Actually if you look at the battery, assuming it is an original Samsung part, the NFC antenna is on the battery itself. I don't think that you can fit a proper NFC antenna onto a SIM card. This was mentioned in the forum thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2471791

Cutting away the excess from the receiver exposes more of the antenna on the battery so that it can receive the signal from the NFC tag.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] 1981ts:
Hi guys, plz advise.

I am using a similar ravpower wireless reciever with the official s view case and have cut out the edges a lil bit for fitting purposes. But I am bit disaapointed with wireless charging. Firstly its really slow compared to usb 3 charging. 30mts 10% increase. Secondly, the heat generated seems not normal. The sview functions work very well and the wireless receiver detection is spot on.

I am wondering whether its the receiver issue or is it just this much that we can expect from this wireless charge technology.

Would it be anything better in case of the official s view wireless charge case or the official wireless back cover? Thnx
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] krelvinaz:
Wireless will max out at around 640ma while the charging cable to AC will be around 1800ma. Wireless will always be slower.

Wireless will also generate heat that a wired charger won't.

So what you are seeing is normal.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] 1981ts:
The 640ma, is it with every wireless charger? I mean if the official case is used, would thr be ny improvement in terms of speed and heat? Thnx
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] yafa:
Hi, thanks a lot for the trick.

I got the same in France from Aukey brand.

http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B00JSOP9SM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The only thing to make it work with the s-view case without any lump on the rear is to get the small ground pin out (in addition, I also cut the P3 one out, useless):

Everything's ok: Wireless charging, NFC, s-view detection.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gotovamsee:
Please don't try this there is a risk of damaging your receiver and the case as I did. I was having good time with my OEM S-view flip case and decent wireless charging on my Tylt VU using a Qi receiver until I tried this to regain NFC on my Note3.

I did cut the receiver sparingly leaving more edge for coils but it looks very much the same as it was posted in OP. It worked normally for a day and then suddenly stopped working. Strangely now my S-view also doesn't work. Did all what I can do cleaning the contacts, pins, restarted several times but with no luck.

Cutting P3 and removing GND pin helps?
