[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HartleyHare:
Hi

My S4 (UK sim free) is about 4 months old now and has been running pretty reliably until last week, when I received a message on the screen to tell me that there was a software update to be applied ( 4.3 ). I followed the instructions as I have done in the past with my previous S2 and the OTA update began. The process seemed to involved several reboots and eventually it got stuck in a cycle of reboots - which commenced as soon as the illuminated menu and return off screen buttons lit, flickered briefly and then rebooted., until I connected the phone to the samsung power supply at which point the boot proceeded normally and the upgrade appeared to have completed.

Firstly, let me say that the battery was fully charged before I began the update - I have done a number of them in the past with playing with different roms on my S2 so I was aware how important it is to start with a charged battery.

I thought nothing more of it until later that evening, the phone rebooted when i finished a call and took the headset away from my head. Again, I was unable to get the phone to boot correctly until I connected the charger. It has happened several times since - once when i was using the Maps app with GPS switched on. The reboots appear to be completely random. The phone was completely fine before the upgrade so to me it HAS to be the latest version that has caused the problem. I have searched high and low for a solution online, but the only one appears to be to factory reset the phone which I have done, but to no avail.

I can't see an official way to "downgrade" back to my previous version of android until kitkat comes out for the S4.

Can anyone offer any other solutions, as the phone is virtually unusable as it stands ?

Other info : Android 4.3. Baseband I9505XXUEMKF Kernel : 3.4.0-2082040 BUILD : JSS15J.I9505XXUEMKF

Thanks

Geoff

BTW I also wiped and reformatted the cache partition. Also noticed that my WiFi has started acting up - it keeps telling me that its disabled because the signal is poor - of course it isn't - it worked fine before the update and all my other wi-fi devices are fine too.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaswinky:
Has your battery a serial number starting by DD or DB? If has, buy a new one or change your battery in a service center; if hasn't, no, you can't downgrade your firmware from 4.3. You should reflash same firmware by odin from your pc and surely your issue will disappear (sometimes ota updates fail). But before to do this, check your battery, it is a usual problem with that batteries serial numbers...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HartleyHare:
Thanks for the quick reply. My battery serial is BD1D609JS/2-B, So it seems that isn't the problem, besides everything was fine before the update. It seems that there are quite a number of people out there with similar problems over the last couple of days, so it does point to a flaky release...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaswinky:
Sorry, i mistaked, i meant BD instead DB. You have the defective Samsung recognized battery. Maybe updating has walked up your battery issue (consider that the bug is not in the electrical part of the battery, but in the electrical part). Before trying more fixes, change your battery (also consider it can damage your device).

I also notice that the up/down arrows become unresponsive on the phone after this (i'm assuming this is abnormal). Any other commands after this fail no matter what it is.

I'm not sure if I have dead memory or what. Any reason for this? What exactly is userdata?

SOLUTION: The problem was using USB 3.0 ports on Windows. Swapping to USB 2.0 port, everything works perfectly.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Why do you want to erase userdata?

Edit, what are you trying to do?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sir_earl:
Try a 'fastboot oem lock'. If it is still unlocked after rebooting the bootloader, then join the club! I will be sending my phone back under warranty (in an unlocked state) on Monday.

I tried a different USB port on my PC and all was working fine now.

I was following instructions to do factory reset and firmware installation on my Nexus 5, but lots of steps were failing. I don't think USB 3.0 ports work well with ADB commands on Windows.

I'm pretty sure the Sim card is how the phone identifies your phone number. I would try a factory reset without the Sim card installed then do a battery pull and reinstall Sim card and see what happens.
[Moto X General] SemTechie:
Hi everyone,

I opted for the Moto X GSM Developer Edition today. I've been considering the Nexus 5 or the X for a while now. I just couldn't pass up the features of this balanced and apparently well-executed phone at Monday's sale price. Believe it or not, there is still some back and forth in my mind, but the decision is made, and I think I'm happy with it.

The latest update with the fancy ingress animations slow this phone down like crazy. I want my S4 back now, lol.
[Moto X General] Henrock11:
I did the same. I still have my nexus since I can't let it go. Love it too much but the size of the moto x is perfect and the battery life has me very intrigued. I guess I'll switch between them back and forth and just give the x or nexus to my girl once the newer generations of these phones start coming out.
[Moto X General] ericshmerick:
Exactly the same here. I just can't sell my N5, but love my bamboo X.

Having two phones is ridiculous, but oh well I guess. The resale market for the N5 isn't what I want (the loss). They are going for less than I like, so I'll just keep the thing.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] hellomoto_25:
I have noticed a lot of thread stating problems with the speaker on the JAMin, usually having something to do with the headphone jack.

Has anybody with a Qtek S200 had this problem. So far it seems to be contained to the JAMin only. However since they are essentially the same device it makes me wonder if the S200 or Dopod 818 will have the same fate.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] DBZero:
My S200 has a lot of static/hizz/other noices. And even during standby it has a high-pitched tone that also is present during calls. It does end sometimes during longer calls though.

I'm NOT impressed by the sound quality. Even my party/hiking/backup-phone (nokia 6210) has better sound quality than my brand spanking new S200 that costs approx 15-20 times more than my crappy old 6210.

It's been about a year and a half since I began working on Super Calculator, and it's great to finally have the official release. After some things came up that prevented me from working on it for a few months, I finally sat back down and worked on making it up to par with the design standards that everyone knows and loves.

Here are some screenshots throughout the process: http://imgur.com/a/JdFpG

As always, I'm taking feedback about anything and everything inside the app. Want a new feature or UI change? Message me on here and i'll try to get it added.

CHANGELOG:

1.1

-Added transparent notification bar for devices running 4.4

-Added volume of Rectangular Prism to Volume Page

-Removed menu option

-Added output of b value to Pythagorean Theorem page

-UI tweaks

-Added support for devices running 2.2 - 2.3.7

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jay876:
I don't know if this is new but what happened was that I bought my Verizon s4 with build mi1.

I went full on noob rooted it and tried to flash twrp with goo manager. I soft bricked my phone I think as I was unable to boot and got the download screen with some red text saying it was unable to boot (don't remember the exact error).

So afterwards I searched for a stock firmware to reflash via Odin and I chose the mdk stock tar. I rebooted into download mode and got it to work. I'm now rooted on mdk with cwm recovery installed via loki method.

However when I install aosp roms I'm unable to receive and end calls. Just throwing the information out there, maybe it provides some insight or something. I'm now back on stock mdk with no issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Triscuit:
How the hell did you downgrade? As far as this community is concerned, there is no way to downgrade.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scryan:
MANY others have tried, and have checked the code that checks the qfuses... So you are either mistaken, lying, or your phone is some amazing anomaly...

Nothing other then odin and a stock image? have a link to where you downloaded the image from?

Screen shot of about phone screen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jay876:
I'm not lying. It was ODIN/download mode with the green android logo with some red text saying the phone was unable to boot. I tried to flash the mdk tar in that state and it failed so I rebooted into download mode holding down the 3 buttons and it was flashed successfully.

I used this stock image - http://downloadandroidfiles.org/download-sch-i545_mdk_562219_stock_restore-zip/

requested screenshot -http://imgur.com/1IJEBB6
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
Did you buy your phone used?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scryan:
Would be my second guess. I have seen people think their phone was downgraded after flashing an MDK radio.

Could this be the opposite, where the phone already had custom recovery I could see it having a stock Mi1 rom and showing Mi1 in the about phone while its still MDK base.

I'd love for this to be true, and don't mean to offend the OP... but this has been tried a ton of times and does not work, and its just so much more likely there is some confusion here rather then his phone simply not checking qfuses... Well, hopefully someone smarter than me will pick this apart tonight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
Yeah but the scary thing is I don't recall ever seeing a MI1 stock build for mdk users.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jay876:
yea it was slightly used. When I checked it out it had the mi1 firmware and I think someone tried to root it because it had terminal emulator and superuser installed. I ran root checker and it did not have root access so it was a failed attempt.

I factory reset everything at that point though then that's where my story began. Rooted, rom manager > goo manager > soft brick (odin/download mode) > flashed mdk stock > root > loki bypass bootloader for cwm > aosp rom issues with receiving and ending calls > stock with custom recovery

When I downloaded rom manager, I didn't know at the time that mi1 firmware was unable to get a custom recovery installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jamesd1085:
Could he have purchased used developers s4?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
That's probably it. Now that it has a non-developer bootloader, it's now bootloader locked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jay876:
It was previously a vrudmi1 bootloader. I don't think that's a dev unit. If it was a dev unit wouldn't I have been able to install the custom recovery successfully before right after rooting? Blah I guess it was a stroke of luck somewhere.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jamesd1085:
Yeah...but seems like once surge gets the rest of the missing parts for his dev mdk tar he should be able to flash it back to dev
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
No, it was previously a MI1 build That's not the same as a MI1 bootloader.

You can have a MDK phone running a MK2 ROM. The build will show MK2 even though it's an older bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jay876:
Oh ok. Thanks. I didn't know that could be the case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:

cat /proc/version
cd /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name
hexdump -C aboot|grep SW_ID
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jamesd1085:
And since this has already caught surge's attention... He may be able to verify that flashing MDK modem +hlos bin may fix your aosp issues...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Walter.White:
Can't really figure out whats going on here..

First of all if you tried to flash MDK via odin on a MI1 BL you should have gotten an error "SW REV. CHECK FAIL: FUSED: 4, Binary: 1"

After a move, was rearranging some stuff around and something fell of course by luck on my phone. LCD has cracking and won't power on, glass seems fine.

Called 3 local repair shops and none of them can fix it. Called Samsung and they want $120 but will format the phone (which I want to avoid as it's a pain to get everything back up and running).

Anyone know of any other mail in repair shops that can repair the LCD on this phone? With T-Mobile not even selling this anymore it seems like it'll be harder and harder to get repair for it unless going direct to Samsung
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] demkantor:
Everywhere I've looked on line a new LCD/digitizer combo costs about 100$ so 120 isn't bad for oem fix but if they are saying it will format the phone what they mean is the will just give you a new one as there is no reason to format a phone when replacing this
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] HibikiRush:
Hm, yeah I might have to go with it at their price since every place I have called so far cannot repair it. And they didn't specifically say new phone, they said all of my content on my phone will be lost because they have to reflash. I got pissed because I really don't want to go through the process of setting everything up again (I just refreshed my phone a month ago)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nardholio:
One nice thing about sliders is there is another option to replacing the screen assembly... you may be able to replace the entire top half of the assembly
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] HibikiRush:
Thanks for the tip but I don't have any experience with mobile repair so I would not want to attempt that.

Does nobody know of any repair shops that can undertake a repair of this phone? Samsung is telling me that it is mandatory for them to format the phone's data ("for my safety and their technicians' safety") and I don't want to do this because I don't recall when the last backup was made.

Anybody out there know of any mail-in repair shops that have or can get the parts? I am desperate. The repair process for carrier exclusive/not popular phones is awful.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] demkantor:
Safety? That makes little sense but so be it. Hell I'll do it for you without a format, you just would have to pay for shipping and the screen assembly. Would give me an excuse to tear this phone apart
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] HibikiRush:
Thanks for offering but I caved in to Samsung, couldn't find any other options and my current replacement phone (HTC G2) is garbage so couldn't wait much longer. I just copied over the root of the phone and will have to deal with redownloading apps, had some recent backup of the app list from a month back or so...

And yeah I got into a bit of a discussion with the supervisor at Samsung about the "safety" reasoning. It's a dumb policy, and I think as a consumer we should have an option to authorize a repair without a format, but as a corporation I guess they are entitled to having stupid policies in place.
