I bricked my htc one max. The battery charge light is on, but pressing the wake/power button does nothing, and the screen off. I have it hooked up to my PC. ADB recognizes the device, but no adb commands work. Any way to fix this? any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was S-off and rooted before this happened. I was also running Vipermax Sprint rom. I was just taking some pictures off my SDcard, and the phone just quit. I wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary.
[HTC One Max] Jiggity Janx:
Have you already done a back up? Does the power turn off when you hold the power button? Can you hold vol down and power to get to bootloader? If so and you have a backup then go to recovery and start clearing cache and dalvik and fix perms.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyan31:
Hey guys,

I'm currently working on a gingerbread ROM for the Huawei U8815, and I used THIS tutorial to theme the settings.apk and other backgrounds in different app. However for some reason, the settings.apk doesnt get themed when I use this tutorial, but other apps such as adaway do :silly:

Here are some screenshots of what I mean:

I have a feeling that my settings.apk has been rewritten by the manufacturer so it dosent pick up the background colour/background in my framework-res. Is there any way I can 'fix' this issue so I can set a background for my settings once and for all? Thanks, I'd appreciate amy help possible :fingers-crossed:

(Its pretty late now, so ill have to see/reply tomorrow)

Settings.apk?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shojimeguro:
well try to use modified setting.apk

since some system files are read only and cannot be modified unless you rooted them or use some theme apps patcher.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyan31:
Its not about permissions etc, I'm able to add other modifications to the settings but I can't get the background to be themed. It is not picking up my background from the framework-res probably meaning my manafacturer has messed around with it :p
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyan31:
You don't know what the settings.apk is? Clue is in the name my friend :confused: :p
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JunDavis:
I know what it is, I'm wondering if you are retheming the correct apk.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PradeepMurugan:
If you want to change settings background it is in framework-res.apk and not in settings.apk but you can mod settings.apk and chabge/include a picture in about phone section
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyan31:


I know that, didn't you read the first post? I did modify the framework, but it is not working. It does not theme my settings.apk. It does theme other apps however meaning my method is correct an functional.

Please try to go more in depth as you are telling me stuff I already know.

Just ordered this off Amazon for $10 and I have to say that this is an amazing case. The fit and feel is second to none and I like the angled corners of the case. It has a nice rubberized finish and fingerprints don't show. I'm getting used to the design on the back...I wasn't a fan at first. I think anyone would be happy to have this in their case line-up.

OK let me start off by saying I have really no idea what I am doing. lol. I have rooted and done custom roms in the past with older phones. I was trying to upgrade my Nexus (JDQ39- Verizon) to 4.4.2 Kitkat from 4.2.2. Well when I loaded the TWRP (v2.6.3.1) I believe to manage to delete all existing files and roms off of the device. So now I get the google screen with the unlocked icon.

Now I can get into the TWRP loader up. Windows will recongize the phone but will not give me any icons to copy the new rom over to be installed. I try to mount to my computer but says E: Unable to mount '/usb.org'

So I have no idea where to go from here.. lol.

Thanks for the help.

I have this http://www.siig.com/3-1a-dual-usb-car-charger.html and it doesnt charge my Note 3 at all. It just keeps it at the same charge, and shows up as USB under battery settings when plugged in

Then I bought this http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-Po...05&sr=8-4&keywords=kensington+4.2+car+charger and for some reason one port shows up as AC charging and the other as USB. Its supposed to be two identical 2.1 amp ports, so why that is happening is beyond me.

Can someone please recommend an app that works well withe the Note 3 to measure current?

Can someone please recommend something that will actually work? I basically want a charger (for car) that can charge my Note3 and my wife's, at the same time, at least at the same speed my OEM charger that came with the phone does.

Does what cable I use make a difference at all?

Thank you for your time
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] lovekeiiy:
I don't have the GN3, but a GN2. I have and use Ventev 4.2A rapid car charger. You may want to try it. It works well with my GN2. What's nice about it, both ports are 2.1A 5V. I was hoping it would charge my GN2 and ASUS Infinity Pad tablet at the same time, but the tablet needed 15V. Thus, it's end up being trickle charger for the tablet, but does slow down the battery drain.

And it's pretty cheap. Seems solidly build. I also have the wall charger unit and works well too. It may just do the trick.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] darkleafar:
So what is the difference between that and the Kensington I bought?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] lovekeiiy:
not much from what I can tell. Both have 2.1A ports, totaling 4.2A. What I was able to find (specs), the only difference is the case and price.

I didn't look at your second link. I thought you were looking for suggestions on a charger that could charge two GN3 quickly. I'm still a bit annoyed with many andriod 10" tablets needing 15V to charge. I have car cigarette power inverter with a AC plug outlet and two USB ports (2.1 and 1.0) that I can use that will charge my tablet quickly.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] darkleafar:
Well you are correct in that I am looking for suggestions, but since the charger you posted about is identical to what I bought, I'm wondering why the one I bought isn't working as intended. Hopefully somebody can chime in. Could it be that the Kensington isn't actually 5 volts ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] darkleafar:
And what about an app to measure current that works on the note 3?anybody?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jsdecker10:
Galaxy Charging Current Lite

There's also a Pro version for $0.99 as well. I use the free version and it works just fine, but there are ads, but that's expected from a "Lite" version of an app.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] darkleafar:
Thank you for the app recommendation. It has been helping. So here are some results.:

Using Kensington adapter, I get 350mah on both USB ports using a regular micro USB 2.0 cheapo cable I picked up at Frys for 2 bucks. Using another cheapo cable but this time 3.0, I get 1200 mah in one port and 450 in another.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] darkleafar:
Using my regular OEM adapter that came with the phone, I get 1200 also? What the heck that makes no sense. Is this app truly working?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] h3ck:
Try using OEM cables or at least high quality 3rd party cables. I ran into an issue with note 2 where my third party cables only charged at 250mah. When I got a replacement it jumped up drastically. Also car will be different than house wall outlet. Compare both.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] darkleafar:
Well i did compare it and like I said above I got 1200mah on both OEM house charger and the Kensington adapter in the car with USB 3.0 cable. Is it really possible my OEM house charger is only drawing 1200 mah? It makes me feel like the app isnt really working
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Spyderlotus:
I had the same problem at first. Then looking at others forums and checking out my own phone I realized that the phone only charges at 1200mah while the screen is on no matter what chargers or cables you use. When the screen is off then is charges at 1800mah like normal. Samsung built this into the phone and I have no idea why.. I have noticed that the Y-CHARGE 4.2 Dual USB Car Charger charges two devices at 2.1amps each. I've tested both ports and they are good. http://www.tylt.com/y-charge-4-2/ Thats the link. Check it out. Hope it helps.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] h3ck:
When I had my issues I ended up averaging 1800 mAH on an oem. I used the Galaxy Charging Lite app as well. (Edit: just realizedthat's what you used too)

Just in case, you may wanna try another app. Usually the apps just measure the input based on what software tells them so there is a bit of inaccuracy but not enough to be way wrong. Truest test is an amperage meter or something like that. But 1800 on Wall adapter sounds right bad on a micro usb (2.0), I haven't tested usb 3.0 but it should be higher I would think.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] darkleafar:
Just to be sure, you tested both ports using a note 3 and you actually got 2100mah readings in the app?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DECIM8:
This is my limited understanding that comes from researching this myself....

USB has 4 pins that our phones care about. The 5v+, 5V-, Data + and Data -. The 5V pins charge the phone. The Data pins tell the phone what rate to charge at. I believe it is specifically the voltage the phone senses on the data pins. There are some DIY mods out there to use resisters to change this and force a higher or lower charge rate. Those mods were a bit out of my comfort zone so I just skimmed them.

Also, Apple and Android do this differently in some way and most high voltage chargers have iphone and android specific ports because of this (whether they are labeled or not). The Anker car charger I got does this. I don't know of a reliable high amp car charger that has two "android" specific ports. I have tested the Android specific port and it seems to charge at the same rate as the wall charger that came with the phone. I will try and make time to test the "iphone" specific port on my Anker charger to see what mah I get and if there really is an appreciable difference.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] darkleafar:
If it is not too much trouble, can you download the galaxy current lite app and tell me how many mah you are getting in your house charger and how many mah you are getting in your Anker Android port? Also, I'm assuming you got a Note 3?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
The app will tell you 1200 if your screen is on - after is been plugged in, make sure your screen is turned off, then quickly pull up the app after you turn your screen on and it will show 1800

I bought a dual outlet 4.2amp charger at big lots (got 4 of them actually on sale $10 a pop) that is 2.1 amps per outlet. I use samsung cables with it and my note 3 charges are full speed no problem.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] b00mb00mchuck:
I would just bypass all this and get an inverter for the car and run the OEM charger... takes out all the guesswork and charges exactly the way you are expecting.

Example... turns your cars 12vDC into 120vAC
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] darkleafar:
While that's a legit suggestion (I appreciate it) , I don't wanna do that, because a) inverters are annoyingly noisy, b) they are annoyingly big, and c) too impractical for the car I drive.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DECIM8:
I use Battery Monitor Widget and have found it to be accurate enough for the Note 3. It is nice because I can look at history which is polled at an interval I can set. So it takes data while the screen is off, I don't have to catch it as soon as I turn on my screen.

I get about 495mah when plugged into my laptop USB with an Amazon Basics USB 3.0 cable. I got 1844-1961mah on the stock Samsung charger and cable last night. I get 1822-1856mah with the "Android" port on my Anker car charger with an HTC USB 2.0 cable. I will switch it to the "Iphone" port on my way home and charge the phone to see what that does. I forgot to swap it to the other port half way through my trip to work as I had intended. I'm on autopilot at 5:30am.

All of these readings seem in line with what they should be to me. Laptop USB is limited to 500mah which charges very slow. I believe the phone tops out at 2000-2100mah though some people have said 1800mah I don't think this is the case.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] johnciaccio:
FYI: Samsung has stated that a usb 3 cable (larger plug) (charger?) will charge it faster then a standard usb 2 (small) cable.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
Its the same when using a wall adapter or other sources such as a portable battery, but I've heard it may differ when using it on a computer but haven't tested that since I don't charge off the computer.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] darkleafar:
Please report back on the Apple port. Thanks a bunch
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DECIM8:
I tried it a couple times to make sure I was getting a good reading. I got 1798-1919mah on the iPhone port. I was streaming Pandora to my stereo and using maps some of this time which gave it a larger spread. Overall both ports seem to work work well for Android.

I am happy with the Anker charger. Something that people don't seem to like is that there is no light for when it is powered. I personally like this as it is one less annoying LED in my truck. Both my wife and I have GN3s so it is nice to know we can both charge quickly when on a road trip. This was a good exercise to go through.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] darkleafar:
I know it's a lot to ask and I really appreciate you humoring my requests so far, but I've got one more. Try both your wife and your note 3 at the same time and please tell me what you get. I'm still in the fence because I know that there are some chargers that claim simultaneous charging but don't. If you do this and both of note 3s read above 1800 then I will be buying an anker charger. Please I would really appreciate it, since both my wife and I also have note 3s
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Spyderlotus:
Yes I tried both charger ports and they work fine. Both will charge at the max rate of 1800mah when the screen is off and 1200mah while the screen is on. I used the galaxy charging current paid version with the auto refresh and it's accurate on the phone. Like one of the other guys said in this forum topic if you let the screen go off and turn it back on real quick in that app you can see it charges with 1800 when screen off and 1200. Hope this helps.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] smacsteve:
I've been through many a car charger and the absolute best I've come across is the Anker 4.9 amp dual charger ! Do not let its low price fool you! It's the best quality and best performing charger I've yet to find! Trust me, you can't go wrong with this one!

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] darkleafar:
I've got two votes for Anker now, you and DECIM8. I'm really leaning towards that one.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] lovekeiiy:
I have no idea why mine works well and the Kennington is not. Although, it's possible it not outputting the 5v, which would mean you got a bad charger, it may be about the pin triggers. I forget about the Apple and Android charger differences. I just know I have both the dual port car and wall chargers from the same company and work well. They outpout 5v 2.1A on each port. They work on the GN2, Kyocera 810G (cellphone's at work). They work, as a trickle charger for my ASUS Infinity Pad tablet, which needs 2.1A at 15v. They charge as well as the OEM wall charger. The OEM cable went to crap, so I repleaced it was a monoprice premium USB cable.

So the Kennington charger work at all? If you connect the phone and leave it (screen off, no touching, or phone off(, say an hour, does the battery amount increase? If no charge, or a small amount, say 1 to 5%, then the pins are matching (no charge) or the output on the charger is not matching what the phone needs. It may not be a bad idea to change the charging cable to compare.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] darkleafar:
I returned the Kensington one already. I ended up assuming that the Kensington has one apple port and Android port, and it is not labeled as such. Because one port would give me the 1200 with screen on and the other only 450

If you want full power AC charge you must code the usb output with some resistor.

I have tell how on link.

My nick is eprom on that forum. Find the post #428 with two big photos of electronic boards and look for the usb port coding. If your charger capable of giving 2 amperes it will charge with full power. On my battery pack, it can only deliver max 1.4 ampere so i can get max of 1.4 ampere.
