[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaTiCeK-:
I found that the best way to cover up scratches is to apply a screen protector. The trick to applying a screen protector bubble and dust free is water.

1. Clean your phone's screen, to really catch all the dust use some kind of ducktape/sellotape - magic tape works best as it doesn't leave any residue on the glass. Do this immediately before applying the protector.

2. Now wash your hands and keep your fingers moist, so that any accidental touching of the sticky side of the screen protector won't leave any finger prints.

3. Get a water spray and water the sticky side of the protector, alternatively put the sticky side under the tap.

4. Aim and apply the screen protector. Because the sticky side is wet, you can take it off and reapply if you've messed it up. A pro tip: If you messed up your screen protector, you can try washing it gently with transparent liquid soap.

5. Push the water bubbles out with a credit card wraped in a linen cloth.

6. Once you've removed all the water bubbles it can take around a day for the screen protector to fully adhere to the screen.

7. Congrats!

Fitting it yourself? U cant even put a screen protector on, and your going to perform a repair on your $750 device?

It's too late to tell you to bring it in to your carrier and let them apply your screen protector for free. Next time perhaps.

No would have sufficed as an answer to the original question, but thanks for your patronising responses.

Hi all

I'm currently having a problem with entering service mode

When I was on 4.1.2, I usually used *#197328640# or *#0011# then press menu>back to go to main menu of service mode that would look like this.

However, once I updated to 4.3, I could not use *#197328640# code anymore. *#0011# would send me to the page that shows cell site data, but I could not go back to main page.

I need to use service mode to set certain frequency that I would want my phone to connect to i.e only connect to WCDMA 2100, not 850 or 900.

Furthermore, under service menu, I could check whether WB AMR was successfully enabled or not.

Already tried replacing servicemode.apk from 4.1.2 rom with no success.

Anyone know how I could enter service menu on 4.3 sammy rom?

This menu wont' come up on Omega, DrKetan and Official Sammy 4.3 rom.

:crying::crying::crying:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G_Gink:
I have the same issue after upgrading.

I use to dial *#0011# then menu>back then menu>keyinput> type "1". I imagine they've just made in more complicated because too many people found out about it.

Please post if you know how to do it now.

Hei Friends,

Here i am Trying to Share a Little Tutorial for Making a Customizable APP Tray and Dock Bar for Sony Xperia Homes..

HOW TO MAKE CUSTOMIZABLE APP TRAY ( 5 x 6 App Tray Explained)

1.Decompile Home.apk

2.Go To res\values\integers.xml And Find This Line

<integer name="apptray_grid_columns">4</integer>

<integer name="apptray_grid_rows">5</integer>

Change It To This

<integer name="apptray_grid_columns">5</integer>

<integer name="apptray_grid_rows">6</integer>

3.Go To res\values\dimens.xml And Find This Line

<dimen name="apptray_cell_width">75.0dip</dimen>

<dimen name="apptray_cell_height">110.0dip</dimen>

<dimen name="apptray_grid_height">500.0dip</dimen>

So Here Come The Calculations Part

I cant help in this you will have to do trial and error methodthat’s a bit of guesswork. If the original layout had 4 icons which together represent 100% and you

changed that to 5 icons, then the default size per icon has to shange from 25% to 20%. That’s roughly 20% reduced size (5% less is 1/5th part of 25%) so reduce the

original size by 20% and it should be about right. The rest is a bit tweaking to give the icons more or less space.

4.Go To res\values-sw360dp

Do The Same Editing As Done In res\values And Enter The Same Values

5.Save It And Re Compile Then Sign It... Enjoy..

HOW TO MAKE 7 APP DOCK

1.Decompile Home.apk

2.Go To res\values\integers.xml And Find This Line

<integer name="stage_grid_columns">5</integer>

<integer name="max_stage_items">4</integer>

Change It To This

<integer name="stage_grid_columns">7</integer>

<integer name="max_stage_items">6</integer>

3.Go To res\values sw-360dp\dimens.xml And Find This Line

<dimen name="stage_cell_width">72.0dip</dimen>

<dimen name="stage_cell_height">87.0dip</dimen>

These values may differ for every phone but they are for stock 4 app dock. We need to change values accordingly that can fit 6 apps.

so this is where the calculations come , widtth is 72 for 5 apps so how much it will be for 7. use approximate values and do trial and error method

4.Save It And Re Compile Then Sign It... Enjoy..

VALUES WHICH GO BEST WITH SP

res/values/dimens.xml

6 x 4 App Drawer

<dimen name="apptray_cell_width">88.0dip</dimen>

<dimen name="apptray_cell_height">80.0dip</dimen>

<dimen name="apptray_grid_height">490.0dip</dimen>

6 x 5 App Drawer

<dimen name="apptray_cell_width">69.0dip</dimen>

<dimen name="apptray_cell_height">85.0dip</dimen>

<dimen name="apptray_grid_height">520.0dip</dimen>

5 x 5 App Drawer

<dimen name="apptray_cell_width">69.0dip</dimen>

<dimen name="apptray_cell_height">90.0dip</dimen>

<dimen name="apptray_grid_height">480.0dip</dimen>

7 Dock Bar Icons

res/values/sw-360dp/dimens.xml

<dimen name="stage_cell_width">52.0dip</dimen>

<dimen name="stage_cell_height">58.0dip</dimen>

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demoncamber:
I have the t989 s2 with the Sharp Gp2a light sensor. It's largely innacurate, slow and seems to be mostly because of the driver. The datasheet shows that it should perform much better. Yet, the auto brightness is horrible. Going to the app: lux, I see that the lowest value the sensor sees is 10. And that's in low light daylight all the way to complete darkness. It just stays at 10!

So is there an updated or tweaked driver for this sensor? A way to configure the sensors resolution? Or any type of fix to make it perform to spec?

I have no idea how this works, just hoping someone here has an answer!

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blizzard22:
Hi!

I really love my Note 2 and I'm currently very happy with the phone but I couldn't find an solution to two problems that are bothering me the whole time.

I've also had this problem with about 5 other roms (all based on Samsungs original 4.1.2).

My device:

I've bought it (and using it) currently using it in germany

N7100 Note 2

Mods :

WanamLite 3.9

Adams Kernel 2.7

Simplistic framework 3.6

Xposed framework. (with about 10 module's)

The first problem is that I always had an problem with the clock.

It doesn't matter if I change the clock manually or set it up to auto, after a while the clock is wrong.

This is if course really annoying and I can't trust my alarm anymore...

The other problem is that the auto rotation works weird if I disable auto brightness (I don't know why).

I don't like the auto brightness of the device and I found an app which can control the brightness but I would like to fix this issue instead of just ignore it.

Can someone help me out?

depends whether you are contract or payg. I think all new sims accounts are mms enabled. It took me a little while to get my payg sim to send mms in the mini s but found a walkthru on the expansys board in the end

http://www.expansys.com/forumthread.asp?code=129999&thread=27

the problem is you need to set up your gprs wap connection 1st then point the mms connection to use this wap connection to send/receive. I think thats the case anyway. If you have any probs let me know and i'll try to take you thru all my settings.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] NEKTAR11:
Okay, so I rooted my phone back in December and had no problems at all with firmware 4.3. I had this app called "Clean Master" I think, so it analyzed my device to clean up "unnecessary" files and such. I go ahead a clean whatever it had "cleaned" and then I noticed that when I went into settings that it started freezing for about a minute or so and had to force close the settings. It also started to restart randomly at times and it got to the point where I just got fed up and looked to the internet. I decided to use Odin to Unroot my phone because at the time that's what I thought was causing the problem. This is where I think (I know) I screwed up. Instead of flashing the stock firmware for the T-Mobile Galaxy s4 I flashed this "GT-I9500-XSE-I9500XXUAME1-ROOTED_MAY4". I think I used this file for rooting but I downloaded so many files to get the rooting to work that I don't remember. This file is neither an .md5 file nor a .tar file. I don't know what I was thinking and I regret the decision. I started the transfer of whatever file that was to my phone using the Custom ROM download screen, and it only took about 4 seconds and said it passed. It reboots but ever since has been stuck on the Samsung Galaxy s4 screen. Recently it now says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. I've tried connecting the device via Kies but IT DOES NOT CONNECT. I'm beginning to think that I've just completely destroyed the phone and will be needing to by another. Any help would be much appreciated. I've tried everything I know. I've wiped the cache, wiped the data and factory reset the phone, but it won't reboot correctly. I'm stuck people. What can I do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
Can you get into download mode?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] NEKTAR11:
I can get into download mode yes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re:

#1: Find the Odin flash rom/firmware for your phone and load Odin with it.

#2: Put the phone into download mode.

#3: plug usb cable into phone and computer.

#4: after you see [COM:xx] light up click START in Odin.

#5: when it gets done flashing let it reboot, have patience.

Forget all about these cleaning utilities, you can do all the cleaning

you want once the phone works properly and once it's rooted.

Only use CF-Autoroot to root the phone for best and trouble free results.

Here is the direct download link for CF-AutoRoot:

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] getsum:
Misterjunky gives good instruction, if you can get into download mode your phone can be resurrected. In my early days of flashing, I thought I had created an expensive paperweight but the guys on here saved me. One thing, you may have to do a factory reset in stock recovery to get your phone to boot. Happened to me a couple of times.

Good luck.

Flash until you brick!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] NEKTAR11:
Ok, so I'm pretty sure I have the right Odin flash firmware, but it all goes really fast and after "aboot.mdn" it stops and it says FAIL. Ok so I tried the md5 file that came with the download and it went through fine, but It's still stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen. Do I need to restart the system now and try the firmware file?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Have you done a factory reset?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] NEKTAR11:
I've done it more than I can count, yes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: do this next.

Flash this TWRP custom recovery in ODIN then go into recovery mode and

do a full wipe, data, system, dalvik cache, cache and do a Factory Reset.

Here is the direct download link for the Odin flash TWRP recovery:

http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/jfltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-jfltetmo.tar

Once that's done go into download mode and flash the

stock official M919 4.2.2 firmware (tar/md5) file.

Good luck!

SO I went into recovery mode, but it stays on the "teamwin" screen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lavell7298:
Pull the battery out of the phone, then put it back in and try to boot into recovery again. Sometimes, the recovery will hang like you described. You might have to repeat this process again and again until you get into the main menu of the recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] NEKTAR11:
Okay, so I'm sure I'm doing everything right. I flashed the twrp recovery it restarts my phone. I held the power key, home key, and up key on the phone and released the power button when it shows the text on the top left showing that it is going to start recovery. It goes to a "teamwin" screen but freezes there. Truthfully, do you think I will be able to recover my phone, or will I need to send it in to samsung and pay 70 dollars plus the damages?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] NEKTAR11:
Do you think the reason why I can't flash the firmware is because I upgraded to 4.3 and it brought KNOX onto the phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LancerEvoDrifter:
Are you sure some other people have tried this file on a t-mobile variant? because GT-I9500 is indeed for a galaxy s4, but it's for the octa chipset, which is completely different from the t-mobile variant of the s4 since the t-mobile version is similar to GT-I9505, which is a quad core instead of a octa core
