[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sspleen:
The headphone jack on my Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 (android 4.3) recently stopped playing music and playing a crackling sound instead. This crackling sound is in time with the music and if you turn it up kind of loud you can hear the music a little in the background. :crying:

When it stopped it was completely random- I was listening to music and when the next song started I couldn't hear anything, only the crackling when the volume was turned up loud enough.

It's not the headphones, because I have tried various different pairs which work perfectly fine on other devices. The speaker still works fine too.

I'm not sure of the reason... I did drop my phone into the toilet about 7 months ago and once more about 3 months ago, but this problem only appeared now. Can dropping your phone in water cause problems that long after the event? :confused:

Or it might be because I got my phone repaired yesterday? I had the microphone and the glass/touch buttons replaced, so I'm not sure if when that was replaced they knocked the headphone jack or something, but for about one day after getting that repaired the headphone jack worked fine.

Are there any things I could do to fix this problem? Or do I have to take it back to get fixed? And, if I do need it fixed at a repair shop, around how much will it cost? I've had a lot of problems with this phone and I'm just wondering if I should get a new one. My phone is out of warranty, and I'm not on a contract or plan anymore, so I can't just get a new one.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Take it back its probably hardware .

Or try factory reset.

Hi guys. Someone cook ROM for HDC BH? Stock ROM is very bad for battery...Thanks ;)... Dan
[Sony Xperia ZL] user28:
I had recently purchased the C6502. At work I do not have AC power outlet to charge the phone. So I generally used to charge my old smartphone (LG Optimus 4X HD) with a blackberry USB cable. I used to charge my old phone by connecting to the monitor's USB port using the blackberry cable. Though the phone showed as "Slow charging", it served the purpose.

But now using the same Blackberry USB cable and the same USB port, if i try to charge the C6502, it just lights up the screen and does not show any charging indication or the notification LED light.

Am I missing something here or the phone charges only with the original Sony provided USB cable? :confused:

Note: The same USB cable and the USB port work perfectly fine for other smart phones my colleagues are having like Galaxy grand, Lumia 610, HTC Desire SV etc. Of course when connected to the usb port all these phones are showing as slow charging, but they do charge slowly. But my XZL does not even charge. So I am definitely sure the cable and the port are perfectly fine.

Is there a way I can charge my XZL with the USB cable using the USB port?
[Sony Xperia ZL] bhavstech:
Does your phone get charged on the provided charger?does the battery icon indicate charging bcoz this phone is vry vry slw when charging frm pc
[Sony Xperia ZL] user28:
Yes it is charging with the original provided charger and cable.
[Sony Xperia ZL] bhavstech:
but does it show indication when u connect it to pc via blackberry cable
[Sony Xperia ZL] user28:
Let me explain it more clearly.

At my work the USB ports on the CPU are disabled. But the monitors are having USB ports which can be connected to the CPU through another cable, so that USB devices can be connected to the monitor's USB ports insteading of leaning till the CPU under the desk. But those ports are not connected to the CPU so the ports on the monitor just act as a power source but not as data source. So we use the monitor's usb ports for charging our devices like phones, ipods etc.

As i had already told that my XZL screen lights up when connected to the port using the blackberry cable, but no indication of charging as well as no LED light. Same case with another colleague's Xperia SP.
[Sony Xperia ZL] bhavstech:
as simple as your device does not detect any pc therefore it doesnt accept charging depends from phone to phone
[Sony Xperia ZL] user28:
So sony does not support "chaging only" mode using USB cable. How pathetic !!!. Supposed to be a "Smart phone" but really do not understand why cut down basic features. :(

Can anybody confirm if this cut down of a basic feature is a standard for Sony phones?
[Sony Xperia ZL] bhavstech:
No buddy usb charging works when pc is on!i checked it doesnt charge when main supply is on bt cpu is off but it charges when cpu is on
[Sony Xperia ZL] givemered:
USB charging

I have observed two things -

1) Yes, it does not charge in some cases. I have a power bank cable, with this cable it charges for some time but then it just stops charging without any reason. If you reinsert the plug, it starts charging again.

Other times, it does not charge with USB ports, for example my car music player's USB port. But what I have noticed is, if USB connectivity mode is changed from MTP to MSC or vice-versa it works.

Also some cables do not have two spring notches, and fit quite loose. In such cases pushing cable vertically up or down gets it charging again. But this is very very rare case.

2) I was not able to charge it from front USB port of my PC, but when connected to back USB port, it was charging fine.

My conclusion is, it does not charge if charging rate is too low or mode is incorrect.

I would suggest, try with original Sony USB cable in your office and check if it works. If still it does not, change connectivity mode. Else its a cable issue(not exactly, but phone and cable have some mismatch).

PS - I had similar problem with my chinese tablet. Out of more than 5 cables, It charges with only one cable from Nokia(it does not even charge with original tab USB cable :D). I think there are separate data pins and power pins. But data pins can double as power pins. I think there was some damage to the tab USB pins, because of which data pin no more works as power pin and hence it does not charge and requires cable having power pins. Can somebody throw more light on this?
[Sony Xperia ZL] bhavstech:
Relax its just u need a pc on to charge it it happens in my case too n my phone works fy9 with any cable
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImSoBored:
Hey all,

I've seen a lot of threads about changing the battery, but not about changing the camera. Would this even be possible? The G2 camera connector seems to be the same and in the same side, so, if we could fit it in the nexus 5, the only trouble would be the drivers right?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamBG:
I guess people who want to swap ol dis better go n buy the G2 and flash pure android into it...N5 is in itself is a very nice phone!!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickoicko:
Why not just buy the G2 and flash the 4.4.2 stock of N5 instead of trying to murder your N5, spare it some agony and just give it away and buy a G2.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImSoBored:
sure.. then why have roms like cyanogenmod if i can get an oppo with cyanogenmod stock? Why have better camera software mods if i can get an iPhone? Why have sound hardware mods if i can get an HTC One? Why swap batteries if I can get an Galaxy Note? and the list goes on and on... The Nexus is to play with it, develop and so on.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
There have been several threads about it. Its not possible. Its not a better camera anyway.

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] atikrasul:
I am currently using carbon rom latest build. I have flashed roms a lot of time and have used all the major roms available for grand... like slimkat, cm11 and all. I have noticed one thing that the in call volume gradually decreases. when i flash the rom the in call volume is too high and after 4-5 days its soo low that i cant hear the other party when i am on the streets. is anybody else facing the problem? Requesting the senior members to reply and the rom developers to work on it if they can do anything! its the only thing that stops me from using the roms, coz CALLING is the most important feature.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] black87:
decrease the volume then increase it again. it is a workaround
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] atikrasul:
woahh!!! :) it worked!!! thanks man!
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] black87:
do it everytime you want to call, because its only temporary

Works for locked bootloader?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] shefreyn:
sorry

maybe no !
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] najodleglejszy:
are you sure what are you doing? the ROM is based on .587, so it an be used with locked bootloader. also it'd be helpful if you tagged the topic title properly, like other people do.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] shefreyn:
sorry sir ! :(

actually new to this stuff

so :(

it is 100% stock .587, but dont hav an idea weather it works on locked bootloader because i have unlocked bootloader ! :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Please don't upload ROMs as nandroid images . While it is easier to upload/edit nandroid images ,it might harm devices . Specifically ,touch screen bricks .

Apart from that ,nandroid images are true images of an file system . In hands of a competent analyst ,all your personal data(Call logs,messages,contacts) can be retrieved with relative ease . It might harm you and people close to you .
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kapybarus:
I´m wondering why there is no vanilla kit kat rom. Aren´t people interested in vanilla rom or is it hard to build this rom?

I know that PA is close to stock, but in future developers will add more features.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simon_lefisch:
There are plenty of kk ROMS. PA/CM/gummy/cyanfox. All those are AOSP. Prob the closest you'll get to vanilla.

"if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" Is Kelfords statement which keeps him from upgrading.

I have the same feeling. I am a scary type: Afraid to brick my Jasjar.

So here are some questions to all that did the job:

1. After some weeks... still runs faster then before U-day?

2. Which problems have been solved defenitely?

3. Tell me why I am a sucker not to upgrade.

Huib
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] qtotter:
Re: "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" Update to n

1. Yes, I feel it's faster.

2. Update is not only for bug fix.

3. Some people still use Win98. You are not alone.

qt
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Galifrey:
I have upgraded mine twice in 3 days...

First with the official orange update, and second with the same rom but radio version 1.09 using the no id method..

Both worked very well and and the latest version is faster, more reliable and much better phone wise...

:D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] vondutch:
3. Some people are affraid that they will lose their guaranty if the upgrade.

But what is more worse then trying to upgrade after the waranty has expired, and then find out you have a model that gets stuck in the boot screen?

If you think about that, it's even better to upgrade to check if it gets stuck in the bootscreen, and send it back for another model that doesn't have this bug.

True or not?

Or you can just choose to stay with an unstable version, never upgrade at all and have a device with all kinds of bugs, and outdated os. Just like windows 98 users ^^.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] qtotter:
i would say, if you are afraid, why not bring your universal to the customer services of your retailer to ask them to upgrade it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Mr.Clark:
My questions about upgrading to a non-O2 ROM are:

How do I get back GPRS/3G settings, MMS and SMS settings, all that stuff that the O2 ROM has and the JasJar one doesn't?

Also, does the JasJar ROM have the AKU2 feature (since I can't currently sync with our exchange server)?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] herpi:
Qtotter,

I am not that afraid. I am a software guy myself.

But I am so horribly dependent on my phone ( living in the middle of nowhere of Romania) that I consider to buy another one for the case that I am stuck.

I am continuously connected to MSN (clients and staff) All my agenda etc. etc. I have a simple Nokia as a backup. That's why I am afraid. I did an upgrade before, and all went nice. so I maybe....

Huib
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] qtotter:
Did you buy it on eBay or something? If not, all you would have to do is just to take (or send) your uni to the retailer as long as the warranty is good if it gets stuck at splash screen.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] sharky48:
Upgrading and updating is part of evolution.

If you brick it --> RTFM
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] herpi:
You all got your point. I just upgraded succesfully.

Thanks for your input.

To Brick or not to Brick that is the question

I can tell you personally that bricking the phone is a bad situation. However you have to ask your self if it brick doesn't that mean it was broken to begin with? I am bummed because I don't have my Jasjar but I appreciate having it more now that it is being repaired. At least make sure before upgrading that you hard reset the device, not that it matters because it all gets overwriten but you want question "is it something I did or installed?"
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] qtotter:
Re: To Brick or not to Brick that is the question

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Viper®:
Is the stuck in bootscreen a malfunction with the device ?

Mine is back to the shop due to this problem. I hope it's under warranty, I flashed it with the Tmob UK rom rather then the Tmob NL rom because I have everything in english and work at a international company.

So the new types don't have this bug (read: feature) so it's safe to reflash it again ?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] qtotter:
it's like before you update ur win xp sp1, you make a backup, and after u update ur system to sp2 and restore the backup, isn't it?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] AndyCr15:
Sorry to sound stupid... but upgrading the Radio ROM will hard reset everything like upgrading the main ROM?

I just did the official Orange ROM upgrade. Should I now upgrade my radio, before I get too far into putting everything back?

Could someone give me a link to how I do upgrade the Radio ROM? Thanks :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] qtotter:
No.

You can find radio roms on the net, or download a shipped rom (it is an executable archived file) and decompress it to get three rom images, one of which is a radio rom.

Refer to

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal

qt
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] PReDiToR:
Here is a link to the latest radio ROM, I installed this on my last unit, it didn't require a hard reset.

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Universal/Radio/UNI_radio_1.09.nbf.rar

The new O2 ROM is probably the way to go, it will give you 1.09.00 radio and the latest OS and ExtROMs.

Most people seem to have problems with ROM upgrades if they do a hard reset after flashing, so just finish the upgrade and poke the reset pin without the keys held in.

Hi viewers, i'm sorry if this is a spam thread but i'm kinda of a newbie here... so i'm wanting to root my mega i9205... and i've seen quite several threads on how to root but i'm having trouble on which to follow :confused:... so can anyone kindly direct me to the working and recommended thread for me to root ? Thank you :o
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Depends on your exact phone model and the kinda rom you are running now. More info required.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] vince2709:
Ohh... i just want to root but i'm currently on pure stock, out of the box and its a mega 6.3 gt-i9205
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Hi..you can just use Kingo Root from this thread which is really simple to use, but i see the link for the program is now working again in that post, but you can get the program in my post also here as it will work on your model of the mega and use either the CWM or TWRP recovery from Silesh.Nair post here and in his signature use the downloads link and once on the download site and then select Recoveries via Odin and then select Old and there you can choose either CWM or TWRP recovery to flash with odin (i use Odin 3.07) and flash the .tar file with Odin and check my post here on how to use Odin, hope this helps you out and if you need more help just post. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] vince2709:
Just tried it! Thank you so much... it worked like a charm :victory:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
That is great..and you are welcome. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] vince2709:
hi starmaster10... its me, thx again for helping me root my mega anyway i rooted it with that kingo root then i flashed cwm through odin... both worked fine until i realise something... when i go into cwm and i press reboot system, i will get stuck at 1 part which is at the samsung logo after the purple swirly oval thingy... even with me just turning on my phone it gets stuck sometimes and takes me a few times until it actually boots up normally... but when i go reboot from cwm, it confirm gets stuck... and i also do see that 2 red lines when i go to cwm... pls explain to me what i have to know and maybe tell me what i should do... thank u :/
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shayneflashindaily:
Grab the recovery in Silesh signature or philz touch cause you will needing to use it anyways with the 4.4 ROMs

*2SHAYNEZ*KCCO*
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Hi..well first i would do is re-flash the recovery (either the CWM or the TWRP one, depends on which one you use) with odin and uncheck reboot option in odin, but when it is done flashing unplug your device and reboot your device into the recovery right away again as this has to be done in order for the recovery to work properly and from the stock recovery being installed by the device again.

The red lines can be taken away once you have your recovery flashed you have to flash the stock kernel from your rom with odin (recheck the reboot option in odin) which is the boot.img file and it has to be converted to a .tar file to be flashed via odin, you just have to get the stock rom for your region and unpack the zip file and then extract the boot.img file from the rom file which it usually comes as a .tar.md5 file or just a .tar file also. Just use winrar to extract the boot.img file and if you can do this and upload that boot.img file i can convert it for you if you like.

But even if you flash the stock kernel which may take twice to flash to get rid of the two red line when booting up your device, but when you go into recovery mode the two red lines will still be there i believe as your model of the mega is different than mine and my does not show this, only booting recovery in blue shows on my i527m version of the mega..hope this helps you out.

Try the re-flashing of the recovery and see how the phone boots into the rom after that as you might have to clear the Dalvik Cache with the recovery as this sometimes can correct boot problems when clearing this. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] vince2709:
Hi starmaster10, shayneflashindaily, thx for all ur help but i've come to a decision to maybe not bring u the trouble to keep helping me, currently i'm still facing that problem with occasional stuck at boot... so i shall just restore back to stock... i just need your help getting me my official firmware which is SINGAPORE XSP OR MM1if that is ok :/ ... my ip doesn't seem to allow me to access to download those links from any site... thank u
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Okay i am downloading the stock rom now and once i get it downloaded and uploaded to my google drive i will post a link to the google drive so you can download then. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
Update: Okay here is the link for your stock rom MM1-I9205XXUAMH2-20130923180556
