[Galaxy S III Accessories] Alexoferith:
Hi, I just like to share my experience with problem connection my Galaxy S3 to my 2nd new Samsung Allshare cast dongle. As you can see, I have two Samsung Allshare cast dongles. One in the bedroom, the new one for the sitting room. The first one was bought long time ago and had been working fine. Got latest ME29 firmware. Connection is fast and no problem at all. Now, the price of this dongle has dropped so I proceeded to get myself another one for the sitting room, saving me unplugging it and plugging it, etc.. The new one has the JB version of firmware. The phone detected it without any problem but it kept on showing failed to connect message almost instantly when I tapped on the detected device on the touch screen. This is how I have ended up here at this website. After hours of reading, stock.rom, custome.rom, .pdk, etc.. I was still getting nowhere. But I don't know why. I kept on seeing in my head the blue LED showing on the dongle. Well, stupid of me, I had thrown away the packaging and with it the manual. So, I tried to download it from Samsung website. There is nothing about this dongle on the UK Samsung support website. From my experience with other worldwide hardware companies, so I tried Samsung support website in other countries. And I found a customer commented on another customer's query. So, here is the solution for those people with connection problem after updating the dongle's firmware to ME29. No harm to try this before going down the custom rom route.

After updating the firmware of the Allshare cast dongle, (by the way, my S3 has the latest jelly bean on), it will say Allshare is closed. At the same time, the red LED that was flashing would be solid red now (not flashing). Unplug the power (miniUSB) from the dongle, count to 10 and plug it back. The dongle should be showing a solid red LED now. Press and hold the button at the back of the dongle for about 15 seconds and the red LED should be flashing now. At this point, you can restart your phone just in case. Or just disable the WiFi and then enable it on your S3. Now, go to the dongle, press and hold the button for one or two seconds, the flashing red LED will change to solid BLUE. Now, go to your S3, turn on AllShare. It will detect the dongle. Tap on the detected device on your S3..... lo and behold....it connects!!!!!! Just to repeat, I have not downloaded or mod my S3 in anyway.

The blue LED is only for use in the very first time of connection. So, I guess updating the firmware constitutes a "first time connection" condition. I hope this information help. Good luck all.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] packrat74:
What app is used to update dongle? Sorry if this is a NOOB question. ..

Hi,

I have not been able to find an app either on the Google play store or the Sammy app store to upgrade firmware.

The version shown is LJ02. But I seem to have constantly re - pair every time I try to use it.

Help on the firmware elsewhere on the forums someone mentioned there was a better device now (linksys dlink? I don't remember)

TIA - Thanks in advance

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bao_kdd_05:
i have installed many rom into my xoom but all of its cannot work (or work very badly), but in almost title of theart about rom isnot show the verson of xoom . can someone show me a stable rom for my verizon xoom.

SR FOR MY ENGLISH.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webeougher:
Honestly, in my experience, if you want a completely stable, fully functional rom for the Stingray, stick with stock. EOS and CM10.1 both randomly lock up on me, and by doing the BigPart partition and moving into the KitKat roms, you run the risk of being in the group that lost data functionality (myself included). If I can find a solution for the data issues myself and others are having on KitKat, I'll post back here, though.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rapson2000:
I was one of those that lost data capability when I set up bigpart on my Stingray. How did you flash back to stock after trying bigpart?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webeougher:
I haven't. I've been bouncing back and forth between EOS4/CM10?1 (both of which have data BigParted, as long as you use the ElementalX kernel) and CM11/Omni 4.4 (neither of which I've been able to get data working on).
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rapson2000:
I'm sorry I just misunderstood. I have done the same thing... switched back and forth from Omni and CM11 on BigPart, and never had functional data service. I switched back to EOS and I now have 3G data, no LTE. My Xoom shows no IMEI number. I'm assuming the same thing is going on with yours? I've been reading up trying to figure out how to flash back to stock because the internet in general seems to agree that method is the only way to restore a lost IMEI. I'm going to try it this weekend if I have time.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webeougher:
Using either the testing menu or the LTE On/Off app, I'm able to get my IMEI back on EOS, CM10.1, Omni, and CM11; however, I still can't get 4G on EOS or CM10.1 and I can't get any data on Omni or CM11. If you want to go back to stock, you'll need to undo the BigPart first. To do that, just follow the steps to BigPart it, but in the first step, flash the regular RAH TWRP and not the BigPart one. From there, I'm not entirely sure. I'll do some research and post another reply if I find anything.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bao_kdd_05:
so does it not have any mod-rom for my verizon????:confused: .please show me a rom for my verizon
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webeougher:
Any rom that says "Stingray" in the title of the thread will work. There are several of them in the Xoom Android Development forum. Just be careful you don't try to install a rom that says BigPart unless you do the BigPart repartition.

Has anybody found the '@' character key in terminal services client application on universal?

When I'm pressing 'Fn-Q' (hardware keyboard) or using 'Sym-@' (virtual keyboard), there always appears 'Q' instead of '@'. :(

Please, could anybody help me finding this missing key? I tried almost every key combination but without success.

By the way: my german keyboard layout is 0x407 (that's default).

Best regards

tomestos
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lbendlin:
you can change the sym.txt to put the @ sign on a direct key.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] tomestos:
Thanks for your response, but unfortunately this is no solution, because the sym key is unsuitable within terminal services client.

The asterisk character is available in EVERY OTHER application but NOT in terminal services client. :( Any ideas? :)

Best regard

tomestos
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lbendlin:
Why is that not a solution?!? You don't need the sym key for the first character of each line, only for the following characters. Make the asterisk the first character.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] tomestos:
Why don't you need sym key for the first character of a line?

Please be so kind and exactly tell me which key(s) I have to press to generate one '@' in terminal services client.

Best regards

tomestos
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Could you use VJKeypress as a short term solution?

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] tomestos:
Hi Vijay,

maybe, if you please could give me a hint how to generate the '@' character by using the appropriate VK_* list members.

This character is a combination of Fn key and 'q' (in the german keyboard layout). Is Fn key equal to VK_CONTROL? And how to "hold" this key while generating VK_Q? Or is there a direct way of generating '@' by VJKeyPress?

Thanks a lot.

Best regards

tomestos
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Hmm, problem. It's VK_OEM_3 I think, or one of the oem keys, but I think it needs ctrl or shift. VJKeypress hasn't had shift and ctrl support added yet, I'll have to do it. Apologies. Try it anyway with value of 192. I think that generates ' though.

Worst case - couldn't you copy a * to clipboard and paste as required. Or use mortscript?

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] tomestos:
I already tried putting the character into clipboard and pasting it, but --- you guess --- paste function is not available within terminal services client. Grrrrr...

I think I will use VNC instead of beasty terminal services. :evil:

Best regards

tomestos
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Sorry, I didn't realise you were using Terminal Services, for some reason I was thinking "terminal"!?

If you're prepared to use VJFullscreenTSC, I can try to make a menu to send some special characters if you want. Give me a list and I'll see if I can pop them in.

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] tomestos:
Yes, please! :) But before, I'm on holiday for a week (I planned connecting my universal to my office's server by Terminal Services in this time, but...). I will respond to your posting after returning on next wednesday. Thanks a lot, Vijay!

Best regards

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RussianBear:
I've noticed this before but brushed it off. Just wondering if anyone else is seeing this. This screenshot was after the phone was idling overnight.

If this was covered before, shoot me a link, please.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oddlyshapedstickman:
Yeah this happens every now and then to me when phone is idle for a long period of time. I'm sure it's just the battery recalibrating and due to the fact that you are not running any battery draining tasks (and you may have been before putting the phone to sleep) the system calculates that, for the current load, you actually have more battery percentage than previously calculated.

Maybe people have moved onto new phones but trust me. I packed some juiced into the 2nd update. Hardware remap works. Everything works minus minor bugs. I've been going through so much sht lately, I don't honestly think I'll be deving for long anymore which is why I decided to build for the skyrocket which was one of my first phone that got me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Smittiegee19:
You can quit deving, but only after this is in tiptop working order. Sorry for your troubles lately, but all of life's issues are tests, and the way you respond are the answer. Hope all gets better for you

Don't let the number of replies get you down.

It looks like a great rom. My issue is where it says "BT seems to be borked" (need it for my pebble). Once that's sorted out I'd love to give it a go!

I've been running the rom since last night and I absolutely love it! Thank you for all the hardwork in keeping the skyrocket running the latest and greatest. Whatever it is you have going on in life I hope it gets sorted out well.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w&b:
Hi,

I'm long time user of Desire Z. I've tried many roms for the years I have it, but now it started to behave badly.

After a month of normal usage and, I think, after installing another app phone becomes sluggish and reboot brings only bootloop.

It happened to me at least 3 times and the only way to recover is to flash -=SuperWipeG2+=-.zip. Normal /data, /cache, dalvik cleaning doesn't help.

I started to suspect some kind of memory malfunction after reaching certain point. Is there a way to check it? Some kind of scan disk / fsck? Is there a way to mark bad block in the phone memory?

Is there anything else I can try?

Phone data:

ROM: slim-vision-4.2.2.build.6.2

Vision PVT ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-0.84.2000 (PC1011000)

MICROP-0425

Surprisingly I can not find this answer anywhere?

So I'm considering using a custom kernel called Timor kernel. So that I can use an OTG cable and charge my nexus 7. What I need to know is what do I loose? Can I still update from google? Does this oversight the bug fixes google made since 2013?

You can still update from Google but you'd have to flash back to stock completely. Or you can flash the many flashable stock ZIPs that pop up within the first few days.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ulao2:
You mean if I follow the thread I can just grab the "new release's" and if there was a google update it should be included?

Oh also, will this force me to reinstall apps and do all the google authentication as-well?

hmm, just saw this?

"If you are NOT currently running CM 10.1 or USB ROM, you need to first do a factory reset (wipe data partition). This will remove all your apps and custom settings. "

So that is a yes then?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mbastats:
I'm needing some help yall. Before I get started, I've done extensive research and reading on this and have tried many things to fix the problem I am having. I've posted for help in other places ( and so have many others ) but no response.

The problem I am having is that other than one 4.2.2 custom rom, any other rom I try 4.3 or 4.4 will not allow me to end phone calls. This is NOT due to the proximity sensor in my case. When I start a phone call, I can press end. The phone says "hanging up", but doesnt actually hang up. The phone call keeps going! Either have to toggle on airplane more or pull the battery to end the call.

I have a Verizon S4 with T-Mobile service, running LTE perfectly with the latest MJ7 modem.

My question to all of you is, could this be a modem related issue? I've tried MDK and MK2, but the hanging up issue is still there. Could this be a kernel issue or something else?

Any help would greatly be appreciated! BTW, I wrote a tutorial on how to do 4.2.2 with LTE for Verizon phones with T-Mobile service if anyone needs it or if it helps to explain my problem (not sure it will). http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2560128

Thank you for any help you can give.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FordNate:
Under settings -> more -> Axxessibility -> Answering/ending call is the option to use power button to end calls. Ever try that option? I know it doesnt solve the problem, but its a better fix than pulling the battery every call. If that doesnt i would say get them to warranty it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mbastats:
I've tried this

Thanks for your response. I've tried this before but it doesn't work. I know its related to the way the roms are built and with me using a verizon phone with tmobile service... just have figured out where in the builds is causing the problem.
[Xperia Z1 General] Aaron_035:
Well, hi there, nice people of the XDA forums,

I have been using my shiny new Z1 for a month now and here's my opinion on it. It is awesome. Good battery life, beautiful screen and build coming from a Xperia V user.

I've loved every second of using it after i got used to its large form.

Sadly, my Z1 has now been returned to the service centre since I bent it. I got to admit, when I first saw people posting images of their bent Z1s and saying that no external forces were imposed on the device, I was like "which dumb guy will believe that a phone made of aluminium would magically bend itself?", but after 1 month, unfortunately, I realised my Z1 was bent horizontally above the power button. It was hard to notice at first as I had it in a roxfit gel shell, I think that's what it is called, but when I removed the case, I had a huge shock.

Later that day, I sent my Z1 to my local Sony centre, I live in Singapore, and apparently, there have been many cases of this happening here but the lady was reluctant to tell me if the damages could be covered warranty.

So, here I am, writing this post to remind my fellow Z1 lovers to never ever ever put you phone in a region that is really tight and moves a lot, for example the pockets on your jeans, as you may come to regret it.

P.S. I'm just posting my experience with it so far, if I am on the wrong section, feel free to yell and get a mod to move it.

P.S.S I'll update this as the service centre gets back to me.

Timeline:

23/1/14 - Day 1 - Sent Z1 to service centre.

25/1/14 - Day 3 - Received email that service centre has started repairs

20/2/14 - Day 28 - Finally, after a lot of emails between me and Sony and even longer waiting time for emails, Sony has finally got back to me.

[Xperia Z1 General] Aaron_035:
Yea I bent my phone. Sorry. I don't have pictures. But imagine a arc S's curve. But on a z1. Also, I have to assume its because we have cases on our phone so we tend to disregard minor bumps and such even though they hurt the fragile device.

I've neen through quite a few phones, a W595, W995, iPhone 3G (unfortunately), a Galaxy S2 (also unfortunate), arc, arc s, V, then finally my Z1.

And ironically, I've only sustained serious damage in the last 2 phones, ie, the V's flaps coming off and, of course, my z1 bending. Funny how as time passes, their life spans decrease.
[Xperia Z1 General] Aaron_035:
Day 4 Update - 26/1/14

Well Sony finally got back to me to tell me:

1. Frame bending is nor under warranty

2. I have to replace the screen

3. It will cost me SGD$405 or USD$320

Being the broke student I am, I'll probably sell my z! then buy a nexus 5.

Seriously the crappiest warranty coverage ever.

After a long long time with Sony, this has been a major bite in the ass.
[Xperia Z1 General] Minibull:
Well to be fair, I'm pretty sure the warranty covers manufacturer faults, not the user making a fault. If I drop my phone and kill it, why should the manufacturer cover the costs? Trouble is when the person honestly hasn't damaged it through their own fault, in which case proving to the manufacturer you haven't is pretty much impossible. Unless you wear a GoPro all the time or something.

You would be looking for insurance cover, or some kind of extended warranty/protection that covers user inflicted damages.

Either way, I'm careful with my Z1 in my pocket now, especially when sitting down :eek:
[Xperia Z1 General] Aaron_035:
I guess that's that then. Nothing much I can do about it other than be furious and then cry myself to sleep.
[Xperia Z1 General] Minibull:
On a serious note, it sucks bigtime, man. At least it seems like the phone still works, going by what you said in the first post. May not be waterproof now, but still.
[Xperia Z1 General] Aaron_035:
It still works. By my calculations, I cant afford a nexus 5 even if i sold the z1 at half the retail price, which means I'm stuck with a banana phone for 11 months. Guess I'll just put a book on it or something until the phone returns to the normal shape or until the screen shatters.

Will update. :/
[Xperia Z1 General] shteren:
i don't know what to say... this bending thing is wierd...

i bought my z1 from singapore over ebay and i have it for two month now. i keep it in my jeans front pocket the whole day, sometimes i have my GF sit on my lap and on the phone and it's still straight as an arrow... i have a soft tpu case protecting it...

i don't think physical pressure is at fault here, must be either overheating or manufacturing fault...
