[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] dorpmuller:
Hi all,

I have a Note 10.1 2014 that I bricked for good-really!-and I want to try putting a replacement mother board in. At least I assume it's the MB. Anyone know where parts might be available in the U.S.? (I can't deal with China shipping time, forget overseas at all)

Other alternative is if someone here has a damaged unit with a known good board that I could cannibalize. I'm very experienced with working on small parts, used to work in defense electronics so doing the physical replacement will go easy for me, and thanks to everyone here, I can flash the ROM, etc.

Very much appreciated if anyone can help-thanks in advance!

Will Google refund me even if I didn't buy if it from them? I bought the "bumper" case last month on eBay (Google was out of stock), and now its changing color. Its still under manufacture warranty right?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Depends if what you bought is an official bumper or a replica - you'll have to go back the eBay seller regardless as they sold it to you
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainwahid:
It was an official case, Google was out of stock for a good month or so. I'm going to try calling them and see what they say.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mb3030:
which color did you buy?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainwahid:
I bought the red color and its turning black on the edges. Looks really bad.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mb3030:
oh ok. just wondering. I had a friend with a gray one and it got really dirty around the edges, probably similar to what's happening with yours. I got the black, which doesn't have that issue, but it has a peeling issue that's equally annoying. I already replaced one. Google really dropped the ball with this case for sure.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainwahid:
Yeah, they really did a bad job in terms of quality. It shouldn't be fading or changing color AT ALL even if its in your jeans pocket and dye rubs all over it. I did get the QuickCover, so far its pretty good. Got it while on sale, didn't know whether to get that or the Seidio Ledger but I went ahead with the LG.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Costas86:
I was using my phone this morning, then the screen turned off after I left it idle. Tried to turn it back on and got the Sprint logo and then the Samsung logo shortly after, and then it would turn off.

I tried power + home + vol-down, and shortly after that screen comes up it turns off again.

Do I just have a bad battery? I'm using the Gorilla Gadgets extended battery, but I'm at work and don't have access to my original. I also noticed that if I plug in the charger, the charging light doesn't come on.

Anything else I can try?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Costas86:
Oh wow, thanks for the speedy reply and for the heads up. I'll go ahead and give this a shot when I get home tonight :svetius:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Costas86:
I don't doubt you at all, I just managed to confirm it. After slapping it around for a bit I finally got it to go to my home screen, then shortly after the "power off" menu came up, similar as to if I was holding down the power button and off it went.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Costas86:
I actually saw a video of someone flicking the power switch area with their fingers, I did that and managed to get the phone turned on, and have made sure to not touch the power button since then by installing a "screen off" app and it's been on this whole time. I'm guessing this is just a temporary fix and eventually it'll turn off again w/out me touching the power button?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Costas86:
Is there a special method to take out that little brown piece? I'm using a small needle and it looks like it's made of hard plastic and completely wedged in there :\
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Costas86:
This is proving to be harder than it sounds.. lol, I took some pics real quick

Is it "A" or "B" that I'm trying to pop out? It still looks brand new in person, but the lighting and camera show every little scratch I've caused by prying at it with a needle.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] uscpsycho:
If anyone takes this advice PLEASE be sure to test with a multimeter to be sure this is the problem. I don't even know if the multimeter test will tell you anything (I'm no electrician) but this advice will permanently disable your phone. I was recently having a problem with my phone restarting and Jessooca guaranteed me that the problem was the power button.

The problem wasn't the power button. The problem was corrupt data/cache in one of my apps. Clearing the data/cache fixed the problem.

I just don't see how someone can make guarantees and be 99.909% sure of anything. Every problem can be caused multiple ways.

A few months ago I had a problem with my phone failing to startup and in that case it WAS the battery. So that's two different times I have personally experienced boot up/shutdown problems that were not related to the power button. It's just crazy to make guarantees and say you are 99.99% sure about anything without any troubleshooting. Especially for a problem like this that can have multiple causes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Kemotar:
I know I'm late on this thread, but just in case others come here looking for advice on how to fix their power button. I have fixed many of these by soldering on new buttons, and it's a pretty easy fix if you are good at soldering and have a good microscope. What's not an easy fix is trying to replace all those little tiny resistors and capacitors soldered on right next to the power button. They're about the size of a grain of sand, and although I usually can get them replaced and make the phone work, it takes much longer, so be careful if you're going to attempt any kind of diy repair!

I would also say that the only way I've personally gotten these power buttons to work other than replacing them is by cleaning them and lubricating them. A good electronic contact cleaner/lubricant works best, but acetone followed by WD40 works pretty well. Just saturate them with the cleaner and click them a bunch of times to work the cleaner in... then do the same thing with the lubricant. Doesn't always work, but it's unlikely to make the problem worse, and if you it doesn't work you can send it to me to fix!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] nobody291:
I used screen mirroring with my Samsung Blu-ray player occasionally, and it stopped working when I upgraded to 4.3. I updated the firmware on the blu-ray and restarted the phone, but the problem persists. The phone will briefly connect (the blu-ray will say "Galaxy S4 connected), but then quickly disconnect. My wife's Note 3 is stock 4.3 and screen mirroring works fine.

I'm still using the MF9 bootloader, but have flashed the MK2 modem and the rooted stock ROM ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2586586 ); I'm also using Wanam Xposed. My searches have led me to believe that screen mirroring won't work without a stock setup. Is that right? I was going to start flashing some other ROMs or some of my earlier Nandroids to see if that fixes the issue, but thought I'd ask about this first before undertaking that project.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
Screen mirroring and root are a no go. You will need to return to stock unrooted for it to work. DLNA is the culprit here and disables mirroring while rooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] nobody291:
Thanks for the reply. Do you know if this is this new in 4.3? I was running stock rooted 4.2.2 and screen mirroring worked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
You must have been using a custom kernel that allowed you to do it while rooted because it shouldn't have worked on 4.2.2 either if you were rooted. Look into one of the custom kernels in the original development section to see if they support rooted screen mirroring. I know this was the case with the allshare cast dongle thingy. Not sure if it is also the case with a samsung tv or blue ray player.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] pepe7807684:
Im having the same issue with my mirroring

Hey bro im having the same issues let me know if you figure this out, Im kinda new to this rooting stuff

id really appreciate the help.

Thankz
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] nobody291:
Sadly, no. If you search the entire XDA forum, you'll find some in-depth discussions of the issue related to the Note and other Samsung phones. When I have time, I want to experiment more. I did try one of the modified kernels, but couldn't get wifi to work with it. When I have a full day to mess around, I might try going back to stock, seeing if it works, and going from there. But, everything I've read suggests the cruise350 is right, and rooting breaks screen mirroring. It definitely worked for me just before Christmas when I did a slideshow for some family of recent pix of our kids. I was on stock rooted 4.2.2 at the time. If you're able to revert back to MF9 (the last version of 4.2.2 released for Sprint) modem and ROM, it might be worth trying if you really want screen mirroring to work. But, what I've read tells me that I shouldn't have been able to do it on 4.2.2 either, so you might find that it doesn't work. If I come up with anything interesting with 4.3, I'll post here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] pepe7807684:
Yea, I I read that it bricks the phone if you try to go back to 4.2.2. I guess well just have to wait for someone to come up with a new 4.3 that fixes this issue. If I find anything ill let you know.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] AceKing721:
My question has been answered. I was going nuts trying to figure out why it wouldn't work after root

Hi. Looking to see if there's any mod that can make the music player have an alphabetical list at the side similar to the Galaxy s4s. Rather than scrolling through all the music to find the song you want. Thanks.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iDroid8:
You're better off with a third party application, I can't even find one on the Play store though. I assume you mean a function similar to the Music app on iOS, where you can tap on the alphabet column to go to songs starting with that letter?

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zazza8:
This modification increments the media volume steps from 15 to 30 so you have more precise control of the media volume levels.

Modification is done in framework.jar.

Click here for more information and instructions if you want to do it by yourself with other number of steps.

Read before flashing:

Do not install this to any other rom than Blefish's cm11.0 (do not use with other updates than in the downloads).

You do this at your own risk, I'm not responsible of any lost data or malfunctions in your device caused by this modification.

I suggest that you have a nandroid backup of your device before you flash this.

But don't be scared it should only change the framework.jar of the rom to a modified one. :)

Installation:

Reboot to recovery (No need to wipe anything)

Flash the cm11-YourRomVersion-modified-media-volume.zip (If you want to go back to the stock media volume steps flash the cm11-YourRomVersion-stock-media-volume.zip)

Reboot to system (On the first boot it will take a while because it will rebuild the dalvik cache)

Done

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zazza8:
I didn't have time to update this for the new cm11 update so I used that xposed module and I have to say that that made it very easy to get more steps for media volume :laugh:

i will try
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zazza8:
Don't use this with newest cm11 update because there are some changes in framework.jar. I recommend to use the xposed framework module.

I should probably update this mod for the newest update if someone is interested.

My sotry: Had Cm10.2, this morning it updated/reseted itself (on its own) and battery died while doing it.

Tried recovering to older backup - stuck in boot img. - no more recovery mod.

Odin - official 4.1.2 - bootloop

Recovery mod - clear cache - error message: could not mount /cache, and /cache not found red error messages

Odin with another file - stuck in NAND write start - no more recovery from this point.

Tried with different .pit and other files.. still stuck in there.

Last try was to try to re-partition with 2.3.6 fw. FAILED.

Now the phone won't start. I tried different methods like jumpstart it and holding different button configurations, without battery etc etc and nothing worked (or i did them wrong).

@ this moment i am trying to avoid services. So please any help will do.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Service centre = replace motherboard with new motherboard, or you source 2nd hand board yourself & either replace yourself or pay local mobile repair (non-service centre) shop to swap, or new phone.

There's nothing anyone here can suggest, your phone is Donald.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferydaboss:
But how do you know it's the MB? maybe it could be restored, as seen in many cases on the internet.

Because I've seen thousands of cases exactly like this over the past 2 & a bit yrs on here, and they've all ended up exactly the same.

[Xperia Z1 General] minas_morgul:
I bought an unbranded OTG connector for my Z1. I connected a few common devices i.e. USB flash drive, mouse, wireless gamepad,

All worked. But then I tried all my mobile hard drivess, both USB 2.0 and 3.0. Didnt work at all. My z1 couldn't even get to recognize the device connected. The LED of the HD lights up so its getting power. I'm not sure if its getting enough power.

The OTG connector I bought was the long one. The cable is about 2 inches long. I'm not sure

if you call that the long OTG connector.

Any advice how i could I make the Z1 work with my mobile hard drives?

TIA!
[Xperia Z1 General] RHBH:
What if you test with a drive that have ac adaptor?
[Xperia Z1 General] eclyptos:
I think you pretend too much from a phone device. I am sure there is not enough power to make it run with the Z1. The solution is to use double usb, first to Z1 the second to the charger or another USB, to power up the HDD. Also like [MENTION=5201072]RHBH[/MENTION] said if you use a HDD with the AC adapter and it's working that will clarified all.
[Xperia Z1 General] minas_morgul:
Oh sorry I tried it W/O the AC adaptors types hard drives. The small WD passports ones.

Shouldn't it be working since the lights are on and the mobile seems to be running?
[Xperia Z1 General] eclyptos:
Enough to power up the light but not enough to do his job. The reasons can be many but if any HDD with AC charger working and all type of storage, the answer is just one.
[Xperia Z1 General] [NUT]:
The OTG specs of the z1 and xz are the same, I can tell you that if you use a powered usb hub between the disk and the phone it will work just fine.

The power delivered to the disk is simply not enough.

I know the power output can actually be tweaked, but you run a serious risk of destroying your phones usb port.
[Xperia Z1 General] cingolat:
Or maybe his HDD is not formatted in FAT.....
[Xperia Z1 General] minas_morgul:
Well that is odd if I try to format it a 1TB hard drive to FAT. Isnt FAT already phase out in terms of drives over 40GB?

And about the power requirement, OTG + mobile hard drive works on other smartphones.

I bought my C903 online btw. Also, I have gone to Sony a awhile ago and tried to attach my mobile hard drives. None worked.

So I think that confirms it.
[Xperia Z1 General] eclyptos:
True.

I know you are disappointed but try to power up the HDD and see if working. This is not the solution but you get the reason why this happening.

I got 2 mobile HDD and I will test them on my Z1 and I will post the results, when I get the phone from Sony Center, but even if mine will not work I can expect that because is too much but I will be happy too if will work. I let you know.

BTW, can be even the OTG Cable, try different one, I got very heavy problems when I bought one really cheap.
[Xperia Z1 General] Riyal:
You got a Clamp multimeter buddy? I don't know but I would like to assume there's not enough power to run your mobile HDD. If you do have some way of checking the amperes or wattage output of the OTG of Xperia Z1 and compare it against the required input of your mobile HDD maybe that would point out your issue. Having a non compatible filesystem format would still prompt your phone about a corrupt drive and would ask you to reformat it so it shouldn't be the issue. And as far as I know Xperia Z1 already supports exfat am I right? Or maybe you could at least just format the HDD to fat32 is you still want to check it out since fat32 is supported by default by android.
[Xperia Z1 General] dakunclear:
Depends in the size and usb 3 is not supported unless it had external power and as for format it has to be fat32 or exfat or it won't read out of all my android devices my Asus transformer where the only ones that supported all formats and sizes of hard drives because the docks have tons of extra power.
[Xposed Framework Modules] elesbb:
I always would decompile and change the smali code on the latest GoSMS app and recompile and run it. I shared it once on XDA and had to take it down as XDA received a personal request from GoSMS to not host any modified apps on XDA.

So, to make things easier i made an xposed module to do the same things. Now updating the app with these features is a piece of cake. Plus, im technically not hosting a moddified GoSMS apk. Im hosting an Xposed module :) Only downside is yes you must be rooted and have Xposed installed. Where with a modified apk, no root is needed and anyone could use it.

TO INSTALL:

Download the attached apk to your device

Install the apk

Enable the module in Xposed framework

Reboot

THIS IS COMPATIBLE WITH:

ALL VERSIONS AND FUTURE UPDATES SHOULD BE COMPATIBLE :)

CHANGELOG:

Version 1.0.1:

- Added option to close main window

Version 1.0.2:

- Double click send option will not close main window when "close main window" option is enabled.

Version 1.0.5

- Made compatible with all versions of GoSMS (unless major update to GoSMS)
