[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcallaway1:
Having issue where S4 only charges with USB and vibrates when using AC charger

I've been having some issues with my S4. I did recently get it a little wet, but it's working fine in all cases except charging. I have my phone next to my bed charging every night. I noticed it was dead one morning, but I figured I didn't connect the charger properly. The next night I noticed it was vibrating every 5 seconds or so, but the phone had turned off due to a low battery. Very strange behavior.

I realized that it would start charging, but it would stop between 1-3 minutes. The the phone would vibrate and not charge.

I've ready MANY posts from others with the same issue and someone mentioned their phone charges over USB. Seemed odd, but I tried it and voila, my phone charged perfectly. I have many samsung cables, none of which work. It's definitely not the cable. I can plug a samsung cable into my phone connected to AC and it doesn't work. I pull the USB portion out of the AC charger and plug into a computer and it immediately and consistently charges. The battery holds its charge as expected, so it doesn't appear to be a battery issue.

I've tried the developer mode options - no luck.

I've tried bending the charging prong - no luck.

I've tried blowing out the charging port with compressed air - no luck.

I recently got an update pushed to my phone (Sprint), but I don't think it was happening right after the update. Seems like a likely software issue.

I did get my phone a little wet recently, actually it was my young children throwing water at me.

I've read so many posts and nobody seems to have a good answer for this issue. Any suggestions are appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donatelloza:
Hi Guys.

I really hope someone can help me. I'm kind of a newbie at this so please excuse if I don't use the correct terminology or something.

My Dad's Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 has been rooted a few months ago and everything worked completely fine. Then about 2 months ago, it restarted randomly. (This was entirely random) Then something went wrong and the device would not boot at all.

It's a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8000

So I tried flashing it with the factory firmware with no luck. (after this the white noise/static screen appeared)

I sent it in for repairs and they said it was a faulty battery and overcharged me to repair it. So I rejected their quotation and replaced the battery myself for a quarter of the price.

Unfortunately this did not fix the problem.

When turned on it shows a white noise screen(I hope that makes sense) and then shows the samsung logo after a few seconds. It will then restart and continue this cycle until I disconnect the battery or it runs out of power.

I'm almost completely certain that it is a software related issue. I'm thinking the firmware got corrupted somehow.

Can someone please refer me to a guide to completely flash the device so that there is no firmware on the device at all, and then flash it with either a custom firmware or the original samsung firmware.

Or if you guys know of an alternative fix please let me know!

PS. I can access the recovery mode (pressing the power & volume button).

I have uploaded a video to youtube showing exactly what it does.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrikjesus:
Use Odin to reflash the latest firmware for the device, then boot into recovery and do a factory reset to wipe cash, data and dalvik. It should boot after that if it is a software issue.

N8000 loop

Hi everybody!

I've got the same problem. I installed a 4.4.2 rom a couple of months ago. Everything got well, no problems, no loop, no random restart.

Suddenly, while I was NOT using the tablet, it started to reboot.

I tried everything but I can only access in download mode.

With Odin it writes than was not possible to complete write.

What can I do?

Please, help me if you have any idea!

Thanks

A very simple problem nand fail multiple posts on the forum .

Possible fixes have been posted as restore EFS folder . Restore PIT partition .

But most of those fail as you cannot recover damaged nand .

So basically throw the tablet in the bin as its unfixable .
[Off-topic] secondpush:
I've heard a lot of folks talking about this thing lately, this Nav4All, it's said to be a cell phone navigation software which you can download freely and install on your cell, and then you only need a GPS tracker, provided that your cell has bluetooth connection, this software can help you pinpoint your location, and also guide you to any desired address, well, that sounds pretty cool, but I'm wondering if any of you guys have actually tried it, is it really that awesome? I mean, if what they said is true, then this thing can be a terminator of TomTom, right?
[Off-topic] levenum:
It's an interesting program, but I don't think TomTom and other pocket PC based navigational software has anything to fear yet.

Two points:

1) Remains to be seen just how accurate their map databases are, and how well do course plotting and search algorithms work.

2) Even in the most advanced cellphones the hardware is still limited compered to Pocket PC devices. One major problem for navigation is small screen size. Also, it remains to be seen how well they designed the interface (given there is no touch screen and only a numeric pad).

Still, I will also be interested in hearing user opinions of this program.
[Off-topic] Henrikmand:
Well, it's been a long time since the first posting on Nav4All, and in the meantime, I installed it on my Touch.

I must say, that the first impression is rather dull, and not very userfriendly. But then again: what can you expect from a free piece of software?

After learning the features somewhat more, I see the advantages a little more clearly. A cellphone (even the Touch) has a small screen, compared to a real GPS. And Nav4All is navigating with arrows and voice. Ie no map unless you ask it to.

This also means, that you save a lot on GPRS traffic.

I also tried with Wayfinder, from where I got the BT GPS, but their customer-service stinks, and I never got up and running. And I tried with Google Maps, which I think is rather clever, but again - both of these require download of maps constantly...

Of course, I could spend some money on a TomTom system or Route66, but why would I, if I can get it for free???

Hey,

So I have an HTC One (Unlocked, HTC__E11)

It has 4.3 (Standard, with root), S-off.

Yesterday I wanted to restore it back to stock, so I could get the 4.4.2 OTA update, only a problem arrised.

I flashed back stock recovery -> tried updating OTA, got red triangle during update.

RUU gave me errors aswell.

So after some googling, I decided to downgrade the HBOOT to 1.44, but now I have a big problem.

USB won't work anymore in fastboot.

When I try either ADB or fastboot, my phone is just not recognized.

Windows also doesn't recognize the phone and just gives me an error (Both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1).

I suspect it's because of the HBOOT, but there's no way for me to revert it.

What I really want now is just to revert my phone back to stock 4.4.2 with all the updated original recovery, hboot, etc but I have no idea what I must do now as I can't use fastboot or adb.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Be more precise here! What was the error codes? Did you modified/erased some files in /system? maybe you removed some stock apps? If you messed with /system files then the ota installation will fail.

It will definitively not work on windows 8.1 but it should work on 7.

use your windows 7 pc

download and use latest android sdk here

download and install latest htc drivers via htc sync here then uninstall htc sync (drivers will be untouched)

use usb ports at the back of your computer (don't use usb hub)

post the output of fastboot getvar all minus IMEI/SN

Okay so I just managed to get it to work on my Windows 7 PC by deleting all HTC drivers, and simply messing about with some drivers I found on the net (I have no idea how, but suddenly fastboot USB was working, so I immediatly flashed TWRP and the latest firmware).

So this is the new situation:

4.3 OTA Rooted

S-off

RELOCKED bootloader

TWRP 2.6.3.3

Latest firmware (Including Hboot 1.56)

One more little thing.

I am running the 10.1-20131210-snapshot-vpn-tenderloin ROM

Now, I always (I am sure) on previous builds used to have the status/notification bar (with the time, wifi signal and notifications) visibile at the top when on the home screen.

It currently hides when the home screen is shown and appears when an app opens.

I have made various changes under "System>Status Bar", "System>Quick Settings Panel" and "System>Notification Drawer" but nothing seems to have an effect on this

Can anyone help?

I like to be able to swipe the quick settings and notifications from the home screen but currently cannot :(
