[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] John The Rhino:
Perhaps go to At&t store & see if you have the same problem with a charger there. If so, then it could be a hardware defect which I presume is covered by warranty.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] 7mada:
Could it be a software problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] John The Rhino:
Anything is possible but always start simple. Most likely it is the charger, start there. If you try different multiple chargers and get the same results, BINGO there's your problem. Warranty replace phone, (you're already at the At&t store) you're Golden.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] 7mada:
It always says "Dock connected" from time to another.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] John The Rhino:
Yes you may be connected, but perhaps the pins are damaged, missing, dirty or don't line up to the phone port properly to charge the phone. Start with the charger first. Save yourself a lot of time & guessing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] 7mada:
Any other help? :confused::confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sandman7793:
Mine did the same thing. So I went down and did the next thing and got the note 3 for the taxes and monthly payments. I also ordered the USB motherboard off eBay since I've takin one apart before. Going to replace that so it will be fixed and on eBay it goes. The phones in mint condition but have to charge and swap batteries. I couldn't handle it. Believe it or not, what started it was I had charger plugged into phone and unplugged charger from wall and took phone into another room and plugged into another plug without ever unplugging from phone. When I plugged it in wall it had a small little arc and that was the last time it charged.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SelfElevated2:
There really is no other help. You gotta figure out if its your charge port or the charger.

If u can't replace with warranty there is 2 other options.

1. Buy the s4 wireless charge kit. Its like 80 bucks on eBay.

2. Get a universal battery charger and 2 spare batteries. And just swap batteries everyday.

3. Buy the charging port on Amazon or eBay and pay a electronic store to swap it out. Or do it yourself if u can handle it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sandman7793:
Fixed mine today. Took maybe 15 min. And $7.00. To eBay it goes.

Simple as pie, just use ifixit to do it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] nrhpd527:
I am in the same situation and have just ordered the parts. I did a sample teardown and it appears to be pretty simple to do it. I'll report back in a few days, but my USB is for sure dead as it won't read either on a PC or Mac, or charge via a car, wall, or USB cable in a computer. I bought the Samsung S4 battery charger and kit, and the old battery works in there, so I know it's not the battery. However, the battery's "water damage" sensor is now pink, so I presume that the nasty humidity in North Texas this spring has killed the USB board. At any rate, hopefully, the fix is en route.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] nrhpd527:
Well, the part and tools arrived and it was an easy replacement. The phone now charges like original. However, and this is a much larger issue, I cannot get and mobile data or any sort of non-wifi connectivity. I am thinking this board, which supposedly contains the antenna, is defective. It appears I can have EITHER network connectivity or sound, but not both. When I put the small plastic cover that also contains the speaker back on, it instantly kills my GSM connection to AT&T. With it off, I am getting a solid 4G LTE connection, and with it on, no signal at all other than wifi.

I've searched here and on the web, and the only thing I see so far is sending back the new USB board and hoping that the next one works in all areas.

Anyone have any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dwestall:
Double check the antenna cable connections at both ends. If you still have problems, try installing your old board back and see if data/wifi works. If it does, then the new board is probably defective.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] nrhpd527:
The new board was defective, but they sent a replacement that worked better than the original. I also ended up finding out that the 1st replacement board had shorted the antenna cable, so I replaced that. My my son is now using the S4 with no problems. Long story short, he left his S3 on my car and it got destroyed, so I got an S5 and he got the S4...

All in all, to get back on track, this was an easy repair for anyone. I was surprised at how easy replacing just about anything other than the screen itself would be.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g2user76:
I had rooted LG G2 With Jelly bean and enabled tethering for my phone using SQLLite. Now since ATT pushed KitKat update, will i lose the ability to tether? Do I have to again root and update the database using SQLLite to enable tether after installing KitKat?

Or should I just update KITKAT and everything should work like before?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitefire77:
You'll lose root, and you'll lose the ability to install a custom recovery. It wipes out custom recoveries and reinstalls stock

Hi guys,

Well, since MotoActv dont have his own thread, i will post it here,as the title says, i will show you how to unbrick your MotoActv,

This tutorial solves:

Problems like low battery when the MotoActv wont charge and cause of battery low warning wont let you flash any software via bootloader

Bootloops

Sometimes not bootable motoactvs

This tutorial does not solve:

MotoActv with messed up bootloaders(although in some cases works /mine did worked)

Requirements:

Hardware:

Standart Usb Cable

Micro Usb to Usb Cable

Soldering Iron and Solder Wire

Aligator Clamps

Software:

A working/partially working Bootloader

ClearD's Image Flasher

A Rom(you can use any Rom,I will use Dprom)

Step 1

Disassembly the motoactv

[YOUTUBE]NmGO1KXokto[/YOUTUBE]

You dont need to disassembly it all, just enough to get to battery wires.

Step 2

You need to remove the battery

Step 3

Grab your standart usb cable and cut the end point to expose the 4 wires.

Stripe the black and the red one to expose the inside wire.

Step 4

Solder the wires to the MotoActv.

Make sure the order is Red (nothing) Black (if you dont understand very well this part check the images bellow)

Step 5

Apply the alligator clamps, so that the wires dont move during the process of unbricking

Step 6

Plug the usb cable to the pc and try to turn on the motoactv.

If the screen goes on thats a good sign otherwise you should be worried.

You can now unplug the usb cable from pc and motoactv will shutdown.

Now as you should reallize the usb cable is replacing the battery by powering the motoactv in 5 v.

Step 7

Grab your micro usb to usb cable and plug the motoactv to the pc normally,

now your final setup should be something like this

[YOUTUBE]J9rDmwXouO4[/YOUTUBE]

Step 8

This is the most important step

You must plug the standart usb cable (the one you cutted ) to the pc,

and quickly press and hold "volume down" key and "power" key until the display lights up, when it does release both keys.

Step 9

Now MotoActv should be in a menu like this.

It's called fastboot mode or in bootloader menu.

Now you can open the clearD's image flasher put your images in images folder and flash it.

Step 10

Now the final step is assemble it all and ressolder the battery
[Other SmartWatches] mikleinad:
Thank you for the in depth tutorial with great pics/video.

I wanted to share something that I found that worked for my particular situation, which didn't require me to take apart the device. First, a bit of background as to what happened to my device to begin with. I stopped ADB on my Motoactv 8GB via my desktop but forgot to reboot it afterwards. I then plugged it into a wall charger only to come back to it a few days later to find that the white LED that indicates that the device is plugged in and charging was not lit and it would not power on. I then realized that since I never rebooted the device after stopping ADB -which would have restarted it, the mini USB port was acting as a USB mass storage device the whole time and not accepting a charge to the battery.

When I attempted to turn the device on with a long press of the power button I got a momentary "M" Motorola logo before the screen went black again. I then pressed the power button and start button simultaneously and held them until I got a messages on the screen that read, "Bootloader Fastboot mode 03.11" with "Battery Low, Cannot Program" flashing below it. At this point I thought I was screwed, which led me to your post.

I then searched around a little bit on the internet and ran into this video for a motorola razr: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtA4OU2xha4

I decided to give the instructions in the video a try because I had nothing to lose and figured that there might be some crossover between platforms/devices. To my dismay (but not surprise) the instructions did not translate over. However, after some tinkering around I did find a combination of buttons that did work. These are the steps I took:

1. Make sure your device is plugged into a wall charger via the mini USB port.

2. Press and hold power button for ~5 seconds, hopefully you'll see the "M" motorola logo displayed.

3. While the "M" is still displayed (it stays displayed for 1-2 seconds before the screen goes blank) long press the volume up and volume down buttons simultaneously.

4. This is when I noticed that the white charging LED indicator turned on and the screen now displayed the animated battery level/charging indicator, which was at 0% as expected.

5. After waiting for the device to charge for 5-10 minutes the battery level/charging indicator displayed 10% and I turned it on as I would normally. Low and behold, everything was back to normal.

My ACTV is rooted and running ClearDroid 1.1.3_A with LauncherPro (I haven't kept up with the latest ROMs)

Software version is MA 1.7.10 N8

To be clear, I was never stuck in a bootloop, I simply neglected to reboot my device after stopping ADB and then unintentionally let the battery drain completely. Hope this is helpful to anyone that gets stuck in the same situation that I was in and apologies if this procedure was already outlined somewhere else. Thanks!
[Other SmartWatches] hackerse7en:
thats a good tip, but my motoactv reach a point that it doesn't even boot to m logo, i let it on charge overnight, and it just doesnt even appear charging logo, on those cases this is the way to go, but my method is more hardcore, before start open your motoactv try this, Other tip is to hold music button, Run button and power button, this "reboots" motoactv on a diferent way.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
I got a FiiO E17 and it tells you the sound coming out of the phone or computer etc and from my phone it is always set to 48Khz 16Bit.

Just curious if there is any "tweak" or mod that can change that. It seems some people claim Android cant do it others say the option is there....

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rocmat1:
While I realize it is relatively few to SPH-L720, I wanted to make a thread specific for the update ending with NAF for the triband variant,

the SPH-L720T.

While you may argue there is already a thread for the update, most of the userss are L720 not L720T, so the questions from L720T users keep getting drown out by others.

First order of business, though it has been asked but it has gotten no reply that I am aware of, has anyone gotten the OTA for the triband variant?

If so, can it be uploaded and distributed? It will be interesting to see if all the problems such as the sd card and rooting are the same.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] VandyCWG:
I have the "T" model, and no OTA for me thus far.

I have rooted and installed some xPosed apps, but no custom recovery or rom. I'm hoping for 4.4.2 this week or so
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] wlc108:
I also have a 720T and haven't received notification of the update. I actually kind of regret my purchase of the 720T. I waited about a month to buy the 720T instead of the 720 because I figured I might as well "future proof" my purchase, but it seems most of the 720 mods and such don't work on the 720T. And with the S5 coming out, I think we'll be left in the dust. (I hope I'm wrong. My last phone was the original Evo and I loved how many different mods/roms/etc that had.)

---------- Post added at 08:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 AM ----------

(I left off my last paragraph, oops) I'm sure we'll have the same issues with SD Cards since it's part of the new Android standard (or, newly enforced, at least) and root exploits would normally be fixed independent of the radios.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rocmat1:
It's crazy that I haven't heard a single person on the 720T getting the update yet... has anyone done the google services framework clearing thing yet? I know it jacks stuff up but I'm thinking of trying it soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] VandyCWG:
i tried it. no luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rocmat1:
GOOD NEWS!

Following the advice hhere: http://www.androidcoliseum.com/2013/01/how-to-get-your-ota-update-faster.html

I got the update after the 5th try. If someone will help me to know where to find it on my phone I will upload it. It's 401.2 MB.

Yay! My phone is rooted ... and I have a custom recovery .... so the update may not work....but here's hoping!

Bleck my phone is at 18% so I have to charge it to be able to even try.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rocmat1:
Found the file will be uploading soon
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] VandyCWG:
how did you get the settings menu pop up from the dial pad? notyhing happened for me'
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rocmat1:
Click menu / settings / apps

swipe over to the "All" category

scroll down for Google Services Framework and click it

click "clear cache" and "clear data"

hit home

go into your dialer

type in: *#*#2432546#*#*

wait for the notification "checkin succeeded"

Now go and try checking for your update.

Just go to the application manager, clear the data for the google services framework, go to dialer to type in *#*#2432546#*#*, check for update, repeat.... I've got the file about 50% uploaded

Yeah Im in the same situation. Got back the stock recovery but errored out, I was rooted as well, just unrooted seeing if that will work. Unfourtantely didnt backup before I was rooted

Why not ask and/or look here?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rocmat1:
Thanks but I'm good now. Hey if anyone has problems installing it that rooted it and used the xposed app, you have to flash the xposed disabler in the root directory with a custom recovery, that fixed it for me. Finally, got my kitkat!

Crap, stuck at Sprint Spark Screen... getting Set Perm: Some changes failed

So I dont think its compelting so I'm getting stuck at the sprint spark screen

Well Im just going to go ahead and do a total factory reset and flash all stock firmware...I mean it sucks, but I've only had my phone for two weeks so not a ton of data I'm going to lose...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] VandyCWG:
I uninstalled the Xposed framework from within Xposed, and it seemed to work. I just can not get the OTA to re-download now.

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------

How are you flashing stock firmware? ODIN? Factory reset through phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rocmat1:
Im about to do it through odin should be like a brand new phone at that point. I didn't have a ton of data, I backed it up, we'll see if it actually works though... lol all I want is to use tap and pay. Once I install it, Ill root it again and get where I can make a wifi hotspot for free and that's all I care about Just realized that download place sucks. Im uploading to dropbox right now

FINALLY! lol Got it working

I uploaded the update file, and it should be in your cache. Stock recovery can install from the sd card as well. So if you lost it for some reason I uploaded it a few posts above

Can I just upgrade?

I would like to flash the upgrade but not sure how on the S4, I received my phone a few days and it is the L720T running android 4.3.

Can I use Odin as I haven't installed any custom recovery. I did root my 720T with saferoot and then uninstalled it using supersu. But the custom flag is still there when I go into download mode.

Do I need to get rid of the custom flag before I try to flash to 4.4.2?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rocmat1:
I was rooted and had to re flash the stock rom.

I rooted kitkar with cf auto root. of course Knox is tripped but it already was so..

everything is working great don't have any problems at all

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] VandyCWG:

I kept erroring on the ota. Here's a thought for saferoot. Has anyone tried the supersu pro option to keep root through ota?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] VandyCWG:
You really do not need to keep root through OTA. CF Auto Root will root the NAF update.

But SafeRoot caused my OTA to error out. I ended up ODIN'ing the MK5 firmware, performing a factory reset, and side loading the NAF OTA.

Then I CF Auto Rooted, and all is happy. Side note, CF Auto Root does trip knox, but eh, I like messing with my phone.
