G'day

Yesterday, my SG4 I9505 fell down a flight of stairs and broken into sizable pieces. I went on to look for a new phone that might be a good match for my "old" broken one. Since I currently live in Switzerland, I'd like to have a recommendation for a phone which matches the LTE 4G frequency used by the providers here, though I'm frequently traveling to the USA and sometimes to Asia (though I normally just buy a replacement phone for the duration). While searching through the net, I eventually hit alibaba.com and browsed through the manufacturers there, in hope to find a cool combination of hardware for my new replacement phone. What I would really like is the following (could be more or more specific, once helpful people reply):

A really fast CPU (low power consumption). Of course, the word good is very unspecific here.

3000+ up to 4000mAh battery

A brilliant 1080p display with vivid colors, with good contrast ratio

Fast and accurate GPS, a-GPS

GSM, 3G, 4G, LTE with the according frequency bands necessary to connect to various providers in Europe, mainly Switzerland. Why can't we have programmable chips which adapt their frequency for the cell connectivity? I currently have 100Mbit/s download and 10Mbit/s upload, so I'd like to continue using this as my main mobile Internet access

Rootable Android (easily upgradeable to newest versions)

Advanced audio chip

Dual SIM

Moderately good lens (I very much prefer lower MPixels but enhanced IS and really working in low-light given the physical constraints)

All the goodies of the normally used SoC CPUs

Aluminium alloy

2-4GB RAM

At least 32GB space

Wifi

Accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass, barometer, temperature, humidity, gesture

Has anybody tested any of these hundreds of new Chinese and Korean mobile phones or has some experience with no-brand phones?

Disc: I didnt know where to post this, but Im going to probably post this on every bug tracker I can find haha.

There is a bug on the sound of kit kat roms for i9100. Its very small, so probably either you wont notice it, or you wont care at all if you do. I've installed many kit kat roms since they came out, from the early Omni, to the latest Slim roms.

The bug is in the sound when certain "sounds" are triggered. When I use Twitter, and I press the retweet button, a buzzing sound comes out of the speakers. It is not an app issue, because they've released multiple versions and it still sound buzzing. On a game, New Star Soccer, there's an instance when the buzzing sound comes again, so its two apps where this bug appear.

I've tried disabling the Equalizer that comes with the rom (freezing the app, even though I dont use it), Ive tried disabling the "touch sound" and the "lock sound" but the bug its still there.

My guess its that, because its hardly noticeable, no rom has the bug fixed. Fusionjack, of Slimsaber, said there was another user who had the same issue, so another guess its that it just happens to some people with certain S2 devices*.

That'd be my 2 cents :p

*Same guess I have with the SD Music Bug, it happens on certain S2s.

Hey guys, just wanted to ask you if any of you had had a smilar problem. Mainly, my battery percentage goes for example to 95%, and then after a few minutes it goes back to 97%-.. is this normal, or is it time for me to change the battery ?
[LG Optimus G (International)] Ahmed Xperia p:
same happens with me
[LG Optimus G (International)] akahroba:
hasn't happened to me yet. You'd better let the battery discharge completely once and charge it fully. Then see if it works or not
[LG Optimus G (International)] Ahmed Xperia p:
Apart from enoromous readings battery works fine.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Vuja1:
it is normal ;) u need to root your phone and do battery calibration ;)
[LG Optimus G (International)] Brontok:
I`ve already done it..no effect..but thanks for your reply
[LG Optimus G (International)] Vuja1:
stock or cm or aosp rom?
[LG Optimus G (International)] Brontok:
Stock 4.1.2
[LG Optimus G (International)] Vuja1:
i didn't have that on stock only on cm and aosp :(
[LG Optimus G (International)] akahroba:
Heeeeey I started to notice this on my stock rom 4.1.2 yesterday after reading your thread :| But you can be sure that it's not a problem since I've bought my g last week :) so it can't be because of your battery age. It's natural. I think it's impossible to show the correct and exact battery percentage in any OS. To test, you can let your battery discharge to the end and you'll see that the end is sometimes 3 percent (the device goes off when it has 3 percent or more left) and sometimes you get 0 percent but the device is on :) Maybe that's why percentage is off by default.
[LG Optimus G (International)] akahroba:
I contacted LG and they said it's normal. Is it normal?
[LG Optimus G (International)] TheStigOnline:
Yes it is, it happens on my device from time to time and I believe it's guesstimation technology :highfive:

Hi there,

I've installed couple of time a new ROM due to different errors of configurations.

And the end of the day, I wanted to retrieve my previous version thanks to my backup, and here arrived my issue...

I cannot install the backup or any ROM. No error message

But when I wipe I got this:

Is there something I'm missing? I installed the NAB version of this rom and I can't figure out the situation with the internal storage. I did a clean install by wipping and re-formatting the sd card. For some reason the internal storage is unusable. I can't move or download anything to it. I've had android 4.4 on my phone before in the version of CyanogenMod but never had this problem. Are the file systems that different between Touch Wiz and ASOP? When I look in the file system it looks like i have two internal storage drives. One is /sdcard and the other is called emulated/legacy. Is there a way to correct this?

Hi everyone,

I have following problem. I bought used phone with cm10.2.1 installed. After one day i realized problem with hsdpa connection. I put my sim card into another phone and it was ok.Then I started reading about issue and realize it could be problem with IMEI.

I check my IMEI and it seems to be ok. I went back to stock rom using Odin but problem is still there. I think I can connect to BTS, but in my phone mobile network type is Unknown:0.

I don't live in US so i don't have Us sim card, but my friends also in my country with AT&T phone could get access to hsdpa. In my country hsdpa is on UMTS 2100

Is there any way that I can check if my efs is ok? Could it be problem with hardware or rather software?

I found solution posted by umar4u, he attached file to NV writer to repair 3g and 4g issue. Is it save? Can I brick my phone or "only" mess in my efs?

Problem was solved writing NV items. I don't know if I can delete post, so please delete my post

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caebron:
Out of the blue - or so it seems - my screen will no longer turn on.

I was listening to music and pushed the power button to change the station and the screen would not turn on.

When I push and hold the power button the phone will vibrate briefly, indicating that the shortcut menu to reboot/ mute the phone has come up, just that the screen remains black.

When I try calling myself the screen will not turn on nor will the phone ring.

When I plug the USB cable into the phone, the screen remains black instead of turning on like it normally would.

The screen will turn on randomly on the rare occasion, but the screen wont respond to touch.

Help!

[MENTION=5560677]eduardog131[/MENTION]

I recommend taking a more recent busybox binary and replacing the old one found within the dsixda kitchen directories. That one is old. It works, but old lol. A recommendation, but not a necessity.
[HTC One SV] zomgitsanoob:
You say PLC, then you say cricket. Will this work for PLC_CL?
[HTC One SV] :
[MENTION=5105446]zomgitsanoob[/MENTION]

Yes lol. He just kept it short when he said PLC.

[MENTION=5560677]eduardog131[/MENTION]

For the sake of not wanting to confuse future readers, I would recommend replacing PLC with K2_PLC_CL.
[HTC One SV] zomgitsanoob:
Stupid question: I see the boot.img, and I'm used to flashing that. What do I do with everything else? Or am i supposed to flash the zip? I'll be happy to test it out, if you explain this to me.

I thought it might be a flashable zip, but TWRP tells me

I've removed a lot of things, and I had this same problem with the OTA update. Do I need to flash the stock, then flash this zip? Can I just flash the boot.img inside the zip?
[HTC One SV] :
Its a flashable Rom. If you remove stuff, it may upset the updater-script. However, that would depend on what it is that you actually removed. Have you flashed this Rom without making any changes? If not, try that. If it still gives a problem with flashing, then it may have something to do with the updater-script (not the update-binary as it is reporting).
[HTC One SV] zomgitsanoob:
Alright, flashing the default ROM (since I hack so much out of myphone) then updating with the OP. Will testdrive and report back :)
[HTC One SV] :
awh crap that's what I thought it would be. I didn't make the updater-script myself, I let the kitchen do it's work. It might be the script that's janked up. Ugh not this.

Also, boot.img should work standalone, on a 4.2 ROM, all I did was edit the 'set fake battery value' values.
[HTC One SV] zomgitsanoob:
I flashed the boot.img

ADB said it worked, although nothing appeared to have changed upon reboot. Still can't flash the zip.

Still trying to track down my copy of the default boot img so I can try that route
[HTC One SV] :
Then the updater-script made need some adjustments at the beginning and at the end. Assuming you did not touch it when building your Rom. The mount() needs changing, and remove format(). Our binary only accepts three arguments and not four.

At the bottom, it is raw writing the boot.img, I personally have never allowed it to do it in that manner so I have always changed it. I have a tutorial on how to make these changes when using the dsixda kitchen in regards to the updater-script. Its really simple and won't take but minutes to fix. You can check it out here.

Just scroll towards the end and you will see it. Pictures are provided.

The boot.img pertain to 4.2.2, you won't see much of a difference between it and yours unless the developer does some big tweaks to it. Otherwise, it will pretty much appear the same. The system partition is what will really show its differences due to it being deodexed and such.

---------- Post added at 12:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 PM ----------

Also, I recommend, setting the instructions to wiping the cache, system, data, dalvik cache, and factory reset. Once installation is complete, wipe dalvik and cache, then reboot. This will prevent any type of "dirty flashing".

[HTC One SV] Krsmqn:
Do I have to replace the script from the op download with this one for the rom to boot?
[HTC One SV] :
Yes. If you don't it'll refuse to flash. You can just replace the script with the one I posted a few posts up, instead of having to redownload the whole thing.

If you're coming from an older version of Android (4.0.4, or 4.1.2), DO NOT FLASH THIS ZIP YET! You will have calling issues when you flash the ROM. PM me to get the firmware files to flash in HBOOT.
[HTC One SV] Krsmqn:
Tried redownloading and just replacing the script,... Neither worked.
[HTC One SV] :
Really? Well then I have work to do on this. I'll also fix the boot.img in the zip, since its kinda also broken.
[HTC One SV] Krsmqn:
Anything I can do to help with this?
[HTC One SV] Krsmqn:
Is this something you are still willing to do? I am desperate for a deodexed rom... so I can use themes. This rom fails to flash for me as is.

The PLC_CL doesn't get very much love on xda. ;( I am on these forums every day, so I won't keep you waiting. Thanks in advance either way.
[HTC One SV] :
I don't think this Rom was built properly and the OP didn't test it before releasing on here. I can only assume this though so to the OP, I mean no disrespect :).

Are you familiar with the dsixda kitchen?

I put together a simple tutorial on using it. If you follow the guide it will help you make your own deodexed Rom for your device.

Or, you can send me the updater-script real quick. There are some things I can remove from it. From there you will need to view the contents from within the Rom.zip. Within you should see boot.img, system folder, and data folder. Delete the data folder entirely while leaving system and boot.img untouched. I can adjust the script and send it back to you. Then delete the original updater-script and replace it with the modified one. Then flash.
[HTC One SV] Krsmqn:
I will follow your tutorial using my twrp backup. I'll post the script when done so you can take a look at it. Thanks for the help!
