[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vafangool:
I have MK2. its just rooted right now I havent done safe strap yet..I am kind of new to all this so I have been trying to learn as much as I can before I ahead with all that... I saw BoneStock and Hyperdrive are compatible with safe strap?I just want to learn as much as I can and get comfy with it before I take the plunge...But the thread i was reading was saying roms that are compatible with safe strap using ME7 which I had before but now its MK2 so I am a bit nervous if it will work..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Eric214:
You're sill on 4.4.2 i think with MK2 so you'll have to go with BoneStock 1.4 or earlier since you can't use a ROM with different Kernel then you have. That is why you can't use CM with SafeStrap unless they ever get Kexec working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
I am at 38 hrs with 17% and 4hrs of screen time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtherrell:
I think MK2 is still 4.3 Jelly Bean. Pretty sure safestrap and HD 14 will work. Probably if Bonestock has a 4.3 version and is TouchWiz based (as opposed to ASOP) it will work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vafangool:
i am on 4.3 ...I have to read more to see if safestrap is ok with MK2 , I saw on one thread where they said it wasnt but that was on old thread.... Im really new at all this...I wish I would have gotten into it a while ago....I would love to be able to flash a new kernel or rom and have nandroid backups... and customize the **** out of my phone..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lokerman:
Man I get great battery life with mine. I do have the MDK bootloader, but mostly I think it's just an issue of not using up battery from useless things being on. I've tried to help several friends over the last couple years, but they always have all this crap on their phone running every time I check them, and they wonder why their battery doesn't last long. I've gone days on a a single charge. With heavy use I can get 8+ hours of screen on time. Maybe I've got a really good battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Note 2 was my last phone as well. No matter what ROM or setup you use you won't get the same battery life. After all, I would assume you had custom ROM's on the Note 2 that helped extend that phone's battery life just as much as they will on this phone.

Note 2= 3100mah, 720p display, A9 processor cores

S4= 2600mah, 1080p display, A15 processor cores

Not to mention the screen gets like 100 nits brighter on the S4 and Samsung has really borked their auto-brightness values on this phone.

My suggestion, if you don't use NFC, is to get the ZeroLemon 3000mah battery to swap out with your stock one. It's the same size, just removes NFC from the battery (I know on your Note 2 the NFC receiver is on the back cover, but it's in the battery for the S4) and adds 400mah.

Or if you don't mind the bulk then get an extended battery, especially if you're going to get a rugged case anyway. There's multiple solutions to fit an extended battery into a rugged case without adding bulk.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lokerman:
Damn, that's a very helpful reply, as I've never even considered a different battery since I've had no problems. But I don't use the NFC, and an extra 400 mAh will always come in handy. I think I may just get one now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
I use an Anker 5200mah battery and it's great. Its obviously bigger and josh's recommendation is going to be better if you don't want it a little bigger. I can say also that there are a lot more options case-wise too at least on amazon.

I've not once had to charge this phone during the day with this battery. I'm a heavy user too...GPS most days, music, internet etc. I've had this battery for about 7 months now and haven't even noticed a decline in performance.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] brain56:
So I rooted my GS3 yesterday using the following guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2596697

After rooting, I decided to flash the Cyanogenmod 10.2 ROM that is included in the aforementioned guide. I also used this guide for Titanium Backup: http://androidforums.com/faqs/607141-guide-titaniumbackup-tutorial.html

Upon flashing the new ROM, I decided to revert back to a nandroid backup that I had made earlier. I did NOT clear any memory, just rebooted into recovery and flashed the nandroid backup. Now, my SnapChat will not allow me to record OR view videos, and I cannot look at my friends "My story." Those of you familiar with SnapChat know that it says "Press hold to view" when in the My Story menu. When I press and hold, the loading circle appears for a brief second on the picture, but then reverts back to "Press hold to view". When I go to record video, it takes a picture rather than recording. Finally, when I receive a video SnapChat, I can open it, but it only shows a black screen and doesn't say it was opened.

Please help with this frustrating issue. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] csmasn:
Reinstall it from Play, and try again, maybe some data got corrupted.

If you really need the old data search on Google for nandroid manager, install Snapchat from Play and then restore data using the app.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] brain56:
I found a fix. I ended up re-flashing CM 10.2, but did NOT use titanium backup. Rather, I just spent an hour installing all of my old apps from my Google account. Now my snap chat works, and my SwiftKey, which was also not working.

Please help me,

I've tried a rom update. But uring the update my phone

stopped.

All I know see is a screen with red/green/blue and white boxes. On the screen it says Herm100

My phones does not respond to soft/hard reset. Also if I want to sync it, it does not work.

Can anybody help me fix my phones? All ideas welcome!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] mamaich:
Probably you've flashed wrong or broken ROM image. Fortunately bootloader is still alive, so you can easily reflash a correct ROM.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] iep:
thnx,

but was is the correct rom then?

I've already tried to flash a new Rom but I cannot connect to Active Sync so is gives a error.

I've included a picture of my phone.

The text on the phone is:

Herm100

1PL-1.00

HERM100 MFG

SPL-1.01

At the bottom is says serial.

Could you please provide me with the correct Rom then?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] bluesign2k:
Please correct me if im wrong but is that not a picture of a HTC Hermes??? I didnt even think it had been released yet, let alone any ROM updates?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] mdaexecfan:
Whatever it is, it ain't a universal :D

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] bluesign2k:
Soooooooo, the big question now is where did iep get his device?? Because I want one too!!!!!!!! :D :D :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] iep:
I got it through my a friend of mine.

But any ideas how to resolve my problem?

Or isn't there a rom available for this phone?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] bluesign2k:
well in your first post you said you were trying to do a ROM update, which file were you using to update...was it actually for your device? at what point did the update stop?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] iep:
the friend from whom I bought said I should do Rom update

So I tried the update of the Universal.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] mdaexecfan:
Not gonna work. You need the rom for your phone, which AFAIK hasn't been released yet.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] bluesign2k:
Agreed. Which means you will now probably have to wait until the device is fully released so you can download the proper update and get it back up and running again
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] mdaexecfan:
Considering that a prerelease of the HTC Star100 fetched 1700 dollars on ebay recently, I think you might have missed a business opportunity by flashing the wrong rom :D

oww.. but can't get the right Rom from my friend who's phone is working? in order words can I download his Rom?

When its possible than how do I do this?

eventually when putting the rom on my telephone, what a about the active sync connection that doesn't established?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] visvaram:
which ROM did u use to update? Did u take from xda FTP??

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo0008:
Hi everybody, some days ago I built DirtyUnicorns from source ... A very nice rom with lots of features ... In Build 1 there is no sound during a call, only during calls ... so I decided to update this build with the latest Source from Dirty Unicorns ... The same result, sound is working fine during playing music or things like this, but during a phone call I couldn't hear any sound.

I hope anybody can help me :( I took already a look onto the lib/modules, everything looks good.

Thanky in advance, Flo :(

It may not be a bug. While in call try reducing the volume and then increasing a bit.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
Hi gentlemen!

I left Xperia Z Ultra forum long time ago.

Now I come back and after unboxing my C6802 model I updated up to 14.2.A.1.136 (4.3)

And now I'm trying to root this kid but vRoot not working any more.

Is there any easy way to root this 4.3 ? (I got full stock with lock bootloader)

I tried to search but there is so many threads, I confused.

(I need to root it to back up my TA and delete bloatware)

Regards.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Look at the stickies in general, but the steps would be:

downgrade to .532

root with Bin4ay's root tool

backup TA

flash wanted ftf

unlock BL

flash recovery

flash superSu from recovery

Any details? Any error? Send us your logs (console output of flashtool). Is your flashtool up to date? Do you use Fastboot mode or flash mode? I usually use flashmode.

Forget stickies, learn everything through just trying it for yourself and lots of restoring backups. ;)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vwags:
Do you have a good cable? Most people like the BlackBerry cables and most have problems using the cable supplied with the phone for more than charging.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr. Struck:
You will want Odin v. 3.07, not the v. 3.09. Also, there is a much newer version of Philz available, it is 6.15.7 and is a d2lte version. Link for Philz thread is in my signature in order to access the newest version. Make sure the Auto Reboot box is unchecked in Odin, or else the phone will reboot automatically too early in the process. If it works properly, the green Pass message should show after two minutes, and then you can use your custom recovery to flash the SuperSU zip file to achieve root.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sawyerbenjamin:
Hey sorry for the late reply. I dont think its the Odin version, because I tried first on 3.07 and had the exact same result. I had autoreboot unchecked previously, I guess I had forgotten it in the time I took the screenshot.

I think I've narrowed it down to the generic cable, but I'll download your updated version and give it a try anyways. Thanks!

----edit---

Well something new... its at least telling me it failed sometimes. But other times it still hangs.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QualQuek:
Hi,

I'm having some weird problems with my Xperia Z1.

The phone is new (1 month) and i have some really annoying troubles, when i'm trying to play song through a file manager in my SDCArd or into the phone, it freeze for many seconds 10-15 with black screen or just totally freeze the phone, and play the song.

I've tried to play song directly into the phone, no success

I've fully restore the phone with SUS no success

I've tried another file manager, like astro, no success

I've tried to open the file with another player, like VLC, no success

Tested with fresh install and no apps, no success

Most of time i must reboot the phone because it just freeze and stay black screen

The funny thing is that i can perfectly play music directly with Walkman, like my playlist etc... not a single problem, no freeze no crash.

I have similar problem if i try to navigate through my SDCard or into the phone with a file manager and if i try to change volume level

I have no idea what is causing that, the older z1 i've had before this one never did that, but they changed it for me after it returned by repair sony center 4 times and 4 times with something broken by themselves...

Other thing ****in things, the phone works perfectly...i've waited 5 weeks before they decided to change me my z1 so that will kill me if i need to send it back again to the retard repair sony center (they already broken 4 times my phone).
