[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Blackest Pain:
It's not actually my phone, but a friends and I was describing the problem (I forgot to put quotations. They're there now) but I assume it's the newest stock version. I've noticed that I cant seem to boot onto recovery. When the phone is off and I try to boot into recovery (by powering on and holding down both volume buttons, right?) It goes to from the Samsung boot animation to a blank screen and back again (and back to the Samsung animation repeatedly). Is there a way (like with my phone [Atrix HD]) to boot into recovery by an emulator command from the computer?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 4-2ndtwin:
When u r trying the buttom combo to get into recovery, don't have the micro usb plugged into the phone and connected either to power or a pc.

---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

There is an adb command that "should" work in bootloop situations. But u need to have had the phone option of Debugging checked in then Settings of the phone already. And adb installed on ur pc. The command from a pc is adb wait-for-device reboot recovery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
The correct sequence to enter recovery is, from phone off, hold down all three buttons, vol+ vol- and pwr, until the first boot screen (probably rethink possible) appears, then goes black then appears a second time, then release the buttons. If you tried that and it bootloops, you can flash stock through Odin without performing a wipe data/factory reset, then see if you can boot into recovery.

If that does not get the phone going, then we should assume nand read/write corruption, for which there is a specific sequence to flash. So let us know how it goes.

Hi all,

I currently having issue with Candy Crush that is not compatible with my device. I have installed the game few days ago from Play Store but when I look back in Play Store, the game is not listed there. Went to the web version and there are 2 Nexus 5 devices(one called Nexus 5 and another LGE Nexus 5)(this device). Candy crush is compatible with the former one and it says installed and the other one says incompatible. Any idea what's going on?

I tried flashing the Franco kernel for N4 on my N5 by mistake...now my phone gets stuck on the black reboot screen.

How can I fix this?

Using TWRP.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you might not be able to fix it. flashing a kernel meant for a different device can vary easily brick any device.

1. if you can get into your recovery, try flashing the right kernel, even an older version if possible.

2. if that doesnt work, flaah the factory img via fastboot and hope for the best.

3. if still no luck, theres a nexus 4 thread in their general section meant just for accidents like this, find it and try what it says.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
You can solve flashing a wrong kernel, but don`t ever flash a N4 bootloader or you are definately screwed. Get rid of anything N4 related from your fastboot folder bro..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
The point in the bootloader is for this very thing. Just plug it into your pc and fastboot it

Unless you have a kernel/ rom zip or backup already in the memory then just use recovery

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hassanmahmood:
I have signed up for the Music Unlimited service through the Walkman app.

Everything is working perfectly except for the fact that the offline Playlists are being saved to the internal memory by default and there is no actual option within the app to change the save location to the SD card.

I understand this is because the music is not downloaded in actual .mp3 format - but in a format that can be saved to app data and allow for easy encryption in the event someone does not continue paying their monthly subscription.

Is there any app I could use to move the application data to the SD card without losing any core functionality?

Would Link2SD or Apps2SD work in this situation?

Thanks.

I would like to know how to change the boot screen of Samsung Pocket GT-S5301B

I followed some tips that said to replace the bootsamsung.qmg file but did not work

I tried to create a custom in "Samsung Theme Designer" program using the same 240x320 resolution of the device, but also did not work

I set the folder "\ system \ media" as "RW-O" through "Root Explorer" program

Note: The screen off, I managed to change

The handset has the Android version 4.0.4 installed

How should I proceed?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
On most androids just replace bootanimation.zip from /system/media with your own, then change permissions to rw-r--r-- (I think but double check this off the top of my head) and reboot

Now I recently learned that some Samsung devices have this disabled so if the above doesn't work for you just Google "Samsung enable custom bootanimation" and there are a couple ways to do so depending on phone

Best of luck!

Have a look around, theres an issue with using extSD card, there is also a fix for it. - NOt sure if it'll fix saving pictures to SD Card but I don't have issues.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2kkingboy:
You posted the question in someone's else thread and I answered you there.

I'll post the same answer here.

1. Install es file manager or any file reader with root.

2. navigate to /System/etc/permissions

3. open "platform.xml" file to edit

4. look for the stack that has "WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"

you will find something like <group gid="sdcard_r" />

5. make sure these lines are there, if not, add them

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

<group gid="media_rw" />

That's it
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gganon:
I was also unable to save my photos to the external SD because in the Camera360 settings, when I change the save location to "external sd" and the dialogue popped up for me to choose a folder in the external SD, no folders showed up.

Any way, whether or not your problem is similar, if someone is reading this thread and is unable to save to ext SD, try what I did. Manually change the save directory.

You need a rooted phone and a root explorer like ES File explorer.

Go the this directory: /data/data/vStudio.Android.Camera360/shared_prefs/

Open the file "vStudio.Android.Camera360_global.xml" with a text editor. This is where some settings are stored. Go to the following line(close to the end):

<string name="pref_camera_save_path_key">/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/<string>

(you might have a different path depending on what is currently set as the save directory in Camera360)

Change the path in this line to the path you want it save photos in. For example, I have a "DCIM/Camera" folder in my external sdcard and I want the photos to be saved there, so change it to "/storage/sdcard1/DCIM/Camera/", that is, now that line is changed to

<string name="pref_camera_save_path_key">/storage/sdcard1/DCIM/Camera/<string>

NOTE THAT In your phone external sdcard may be at a different path instead of "/storage/sdcard1. Accordingly change it.

Is this network hardware Dependant ?

Does it say "T-mobile" or you talking about T-mo red icon? mine does not say T-mobile, never seen it, but the red icon is for T-mo message displaying used min and data usage.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pete4k:
I don't remember him saying it is a problem, just curious.

Should be ATT thing then, or is it non native network?

Come to think of it, it actually makes sense, if you switch sim cards back and forth or have dual sim adapter this could be life saver to know which network you're currently using, imagine, you think you're on T-mo and instead make international calls on ATT sim, ouch. I wonder if the network name will show up if using non T-mo card on T-mo phone?

It's an ATT thing - it's even labeled as such in the SystemUI if you go poking around in it. The connection type doesn't matter in this case, it's the fact that the phone identifies itself as an ATT variant that it shows.

so this is an N900A specific thing then ? It's not rooted and was bought at launch from att store.

1. SM-T210R supports 64 GB sd cards.

2. Depends on the class of the sd card.

class 2 cards are 2MB/s, standard video recording,

class 4 cards are 4MB/s, Hi-Def (720p-1080p/1080i)

class 6 cards are 6 MB/s, basically the same specs as class 4 but faster.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Just because Simple might be offering LTE doesn't mean your SIM card supports it and / or there might be new APNs to be entered to get the new service.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] havy15:
That's what I'm trying to find out if anyone has the correct APN settings
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Unfortunately it doesn't even seem that most of the customer service reps even know they are offering LTE service now, according to various posts on random forums. The ones that did mention they had seen LTE service did not mention needing to change any settings. So that leads me to think that it's either SIM card based, or possible they are rolling it out bit by bit to not overload the system all at once? Also, they need to get to providing their reps with important information a tad quicker.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] havy15:
Yeah I got a text from them which I'm pretty sure everyone did . I went online and checked and saw that my city is supported . so I went about to see what I had to do . I'm already on the 50 dollar plan and they said you Dont have to change service or the Sim . I also tried changing the prl to LTE only and that just gave me no signal so I'm guessing the wait game starts. Why spread the word when its not even official or finished ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] febzz88:
I am using Galaxy S4 T-mobile (M919) and am located in Chicago. I can confirm that I am connected to the LTE Network.

Make sure you have to use the New Generation/Version of SIM Card (White Pack instead of Green): http://goo.gl/phLjTc

No APN settings need to be changed whatsoever. I even am using the T-mobile LTE APN Setting instead of the Simple Mobile one.

Proof: http://goo.gl/D8D58O

FYI, I was using the Old SIM Card and the only network I could connect to was the 4G HSPA+ network. The customer service is oblivious, would keep telling you that you don't need to change your SIM Card. It's BS. Some other users did change their SIM Cards as well (the posts are on the Simple Mobile forum) and they could immediately connect to the LTE network without having to change any settings.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] febzz88:
It may take up to a week.

If you want to transfer your number from your existing carrier to Simple Mobile, make sure that you have the following information:

1. Account Number

2. PIN for your Account Number

* Also, purchase a $50 Plan. Make sure you have the PIN ready.

Then call Simple Mobile and ask for a Number Porting/Transfer. Once the process is done, your old number will stop working. That's how you know the transfer process is done. Then you can use the new Simile Mobile number.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] havy15:

Hey guys... I just bought my simple mobile line 20 days ago... And they sent me the old sim... I just called them and was on hold for 45mins to speak to the manager who was just as dumb as the representative... Was saying I have to buy the new sim to support lte even tho they were at fault, but said they will give me a month free usage with that...

What I was wondering was, if I get a sim for $1 from eBay or wherever, I can probably claim that free month usage with that too right...?

Also when I was looking at the calling mart link, in the description it says this... "This SIM can be used for iPhone 4/4S. SIM is manually cut with a SIM cutter."

Are you guys sure they are selling the newer white color box sims with dual sizes...??
