[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikelikesbikes:
OK so here's the story. Gonna be as detailed as possible. So I been running 4.3 Meanbean lately, and it's been running great. So I decided to flash Devil kernel and all was well. Well this morning my phone froze so I did a battery pull, wiped cache and dalvik and rebooted into a bootloop. Weird thing is the pick language screen flashes for a split second and back into a bootloop. I've tried 3 different TW ROMs all with clean flashes with the same result. Here's the kicker, AOSP boots just fine. Trying to avoid having to ODIN and CASUAL if possible. I don't know to try next. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to attempt.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KedarWolf:
Hey,

I bought a Spigen eo Hybrid case for my Nexus 5. I like to use Sennheiser headphones with it for music playback the 90 minute trip on the transit each way to and from work. Trouble is the headphone jack doesn't fit the recessed hole in the case.

I thought I could find a 3.5 to 3.5 slim adapter for them but the only thing after an hour of Googling is a 3.5mm to 3.5mm slim IPhone audio adapter.

Any suggestions on what I can do other then buy a headset?

Peace... :confused:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3_:
Is there any reason the iphone one won't work? It's just a 3.5mm to 3.5mm adapter isn't it? the iPhone part is probably just a name they add to it for marketing purposes.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
True that!

@OP

You can even take a sharp razor and cut a small portion of the case to widen the hole. However, this may lead to some lint accumulation on that area.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanisleryan:
I've used a razor in the past to shave the headphone plug slimmer to accommodate the smaller hole.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KedarWolf:
i bought an IPhone 3.5 to 3.5 slim headphone jack adapter, it does with with my 280 Pro headphones. Just tested it with my headset, mic works as well. So for $2 or so from Amazon and maybe a couple bucks shipping you can use any headphone with any case.

http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B000WKS8QG/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This from www.amazon.ca (I'm in Canuckistan) but they have the same thing on www.amazon.com

Picked up the Tab 8.4 Pro. Apparently it comes with $25 in free apps? How do I redeem this?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] jmill75:
Open Samsung App, login or create account. It will register and send you an email to get these.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] JaylanPHNX:
I looked at that and decided even $25 in Google Play credit wasn't enough to get me to create a Samsung Apps account. :sly:

From my Pro Tab 8.4
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] mattskr:
You'd rather not have $25 than what? Give Samsung your name and email? Just give a different name and email then! They give you a code to use for Google Play.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] RobilarOCN:
Looks like you can only use Samsung app store not google play store?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] dcaplinger76:
You log into your Samsung apps account and then you receive an email with a code to redeem $25 in Google Play Store credit.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] RobilarOCN:
I registered and set up an account. I received no such email.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Wobblin30:
Did you register your tablet on the Samsung site?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] TwinXM:
Open Samsung App store and sign in, if you did that already and still no email, do this:

Go to settings > Accounts > Touch Samsung account > Touch the email address > Touch remove account.* Reboot the tablet.* Open Samsung apps and sign back in.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] JohnnySJ:
In case someone is not aware of this, the offer is only available in the Continental US.

I solved this by doing a factory reset, and re-registered the tablet using a cellphone tethered connection

(The IP address of my cell phone carrier is from continental US). Worked perfectly.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tshawn909:
Hello to anyone reading this,

This crack in the board happened after it went through the clothes washer, and it was gf's phone so i feel really horrible about it :crying:.

Anyways i have yet to even find out what this piece of the board is named. It's cracked in two places on the vertical part of the board that leads down

to where the usb connector is located (everything else appears looks ok just these two cracked pieces). I'm just looking for any help at all, hoping

someone might be able to offer any help at all, or if it's even possible to salvage. I have an uncle that is got a good amount of experience in

soldering/electrical stuff and can handle the soldering/fixing since im still a bit of a noob, but he was unsure about how to go about it since it would

require some very small wires to fix the connection traces, so if anyone can offer any advice or instruction on mending i would greatly appreciate and

can send some BTC for your help. I attached 2 images, and can supply more if you need more detail.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tshawn909:
So far the only thing i can think of is to get a broken board and remove the part i need at the easiest location it could be re-attached... no clue if that easier area exists though..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberboob:
Why not just bring the phone to some phone repair shop (or a samsung specialized one), if available in your region. They should be able to repair it (if the price is ok with you), or be able to sell you the part you need (order it).

**It looks like even some chip is chopped... at the very least, probably too much water damage on them. You don't want to do this repair by yourself (or you uncle)... there are cases of phone components getting too hot and on fire if there are faulty wires/connectors.

****Definitely a new board is required.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tshawn909:
Yeah seems like a new board might be the only solution..

can anyone tell me what exactly would be compatible? This was a verizon note 2 sch-i605 gt-n7100 rev 1.0.

Thanks all

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drewstopher:
So iv rooted, and using goo manager (can't use Odin because I don't have PC and this was easier) I flashed the latest version of twrp. I first did a nandroid backup and then tried to flash PAC ROM 4.4.2 nightly and cm11 neither worked (I have tried others since then) each time it says "no md5 file found". Its not the end of the world if I have to use the stock ROM for a while till I sort this out.. But when I flashed my nandroid backup I got stuck in a bootloop now I don't know what to do. I can get to twrp still and download mode if nessessary

Please help im a bit of a noob but I'm not stupid and have flashed ROMs on 3 devices successfully. Thanks in advance! I would be greatful for a fix to either of these problems.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] theramsey3:
If you're using a Linux machine there is a program called heimdall (if I recall correctly) that is supposed to be similar to Odin. I have no personal experience with it so I suggest Google and the search function here.

There is an option in twrp to check for md5 make sure you're not having it Check for it or it will fail, I ran into the same issue after I started playing on my s3 never had that issue on other devices but I do on this one. You can also try using cwm.

For the boot loop try a factory reset a lot of times it will fix it. Also keep in mind that 4.3 roms take a long time to boot the first time after flashing. Check in the development section enewman17 has a stock 4.3 restore it will put the phone back like it would have been immediately after the 4.3 OTA (except warranty bit in download mode will still show a count and be in red letters) even down to stock Samsung 3e recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
You're using the Canadian version of the s3 which is the i747M? Which ROM version were you running before installing TWRP?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drewstopher:
I was on stock ROM on the rogers-canadian variant which should be the same as the at&t variant I think anyway I cant find the checkbox for "check md5" in twrp do u know where to look? Also can I flash cwm.zip through twrp?(if twrp will allow me) or will this cause more problems. I think there must be a way to fix my problems but I'm pas the extent of my knpwledge . also I think there must be an issue with the stock backup that is causing the bootloop don't know how to fix it. Not working still after multiple factory resets and advanced wipes

Thanks guys I really need help with this
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Since you have the i747m (Canadian version), I think it would be best to start from scratch.

Were you running a stock 4.3 ROM?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drewstopher:
I would love to start from scratch but I can't flash ROMs and I get a bootloop when I try to use my backup. So I can't boot into system and its the same as the i747 just without the att bloatware and rogers instead
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Just flash the stock rooted ROM from xda. Just search for s3 pre-rooted roms , download, and flash via Odin
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drewstopher:
Thanks sounds simple enough but I will have a hard time getting a windows PC to use. In the meantime is there anything else I can try? Is it possible to flash cwm through twrp or does that not work? If it does will it harm the Odin process to go back to stock? And will USB debugging work if no OS is installed on phone... How does that work?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Let us know what was the most recent stock ROM you had on your phone. Is it 4.1.1, 4.1.2, or 4.3?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] theramsey3:
Do you have any computer available just not Windows? Or none at all? Did you look at heimdall?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drewstopher:
Android 4.3 and heimdall wasn't working with my Mac.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
Question for the op.. Do you get any errors in twrp when you wipe data or restore your backup?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drewstopher:
Actually yes occasionally I do. I think its after I try to flash a ROM or .zip file but it might happen periodically anyway I don't know
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
You probably need to format your internal SD card from twrp (the option where you have to type the word "yes") I believe it's under advanced wipe settings. I would backup anything important from your internal card, then format it. Then try doing whatever you're trying to do (flash a certain rom or restore a certain backup). I had a similar issue last week. I couldn't flash roms or restore backups because the phone would reboot into a bootloop when twrp tried wiping the data partition.

If you can't get into a rom or connect to a computer to backup your internal cards contents, you may have to use the file manager inside twrp to backup to your external SD card.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drewstopher:
Thanks but actually my backups and ROMs are all on the phones internal memory. I think my safest bet will be to flash a ROM and cwm via Odin any suggestions on what version of Odin to use? Iv used 1.85 before to flash my gs2 skyrocket. Also will the USB debugging work if no os is installed on the phone :/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
Not sure sorry.. And I could be wrong but I think if you flash stock from Odin, it wipes your internal memory as well. If that's the case, I would backup whatever rom/backup you plan on using to your external memory and try my advice.

Other than that, not sure what to suggest. I can only advise based on what I have personally done in the past.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drewstopher:
Thanks and good point
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] k29er:
I use twrp on the n7 and its exellent. I tried it with the s3 and always had random problems after a flash or restore. I switched to Phil's cwm touch and have nor had a problem in months and I flash or restore almost daily.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ptl4ever:
I am on stock based custom rom on my i747m (canadian) TWRP 2.7.0.0 works perfectly, no issues.

Just in-case someone doesn't know they have newer version of twrp for both Us and Canadian versions. :)

goophone.cc website is scam to collect customer credit informaitons . Don't buy anything from goophone.cc ,that wesbite is a fake goophone website and can't support paypal.they only ask you pay for by credit card.on his credit card page it isn't https:// it is Http:// that means that website payment page won't encrypt it.so when you input your credit card inforamtion they will credit card informations.i am very worry about mine card inforamtions and i have ask my bank to withdraw my credit card now and charged it back of my money.hope other body don't buy any goophone from that site and don't make this fault as same as me.by the way that website sell the goophone some of them are original and some of them are fake .the goophone s4 max is only 720P screen but he write 1080P screen.its a scam.
[General Topics] knreddy:
I don't think so

I took the decision after studying listings at Aliexpress & dhgate and after getting clarifications (most of them replied differently than what they specified). they have different specs at different places of the same listing of the product.

Obs on Goophone.cc phone Goophoner i5s

i) access to debugging is already provided

ii) Already Rooted

iii) Apk can be installed directly

iv) PdaNetA4150.exe installs adb drivers (If & when required)

v) very useful application "easy touch" got pre installed & but "back" is not working

vi) Others: I have recieved it in recycleable box instead of premimum box shown in website, headphones are supplied without box , mic cover little bit opened at joint.total cost $159 phone cost + $29 shipping to India, customes Rs 1039.55 (=$16.5 with lower side Billing of $71+shipping $20)

Problems:

i) Carrier issue (Sim detects Carrier) but no signal level as it can't be registered as the factory given IMIE no is not valid / black listed by India etc.

ii) Call volume level is very low at max volume point,

iii) very poor build quality of head phones

iv) speaker quacks at high volume,

v) camera low light quality is very poor

vi) camera auto focus makes mechanical sound

Vii) It is not catch carrier signal, while other phone shows full signal level (why unknown biggest problem) or atleast antenna is of low quality.

viii) Lot of work to be done to get Google play store / maps to work (as OS is highly cutomised & not from AOSP)

iX) only 1200mAmp battery against specified 1500 ma

x) Before sale they used to respond within 24 hrs, after reporting above problems they are not responding, i.e they do not honor their warranty.

x) By the time it rached me goophone.cc was blacklisted by google for almost one month

from the above all most all the parts are poor quality except metal body.

Unless experiment your money , do not purchase these unreliable chinese (not like proven chinese brands Lenovo or huawei etc)

Yea, the scores are relief marks. Supposedly the curve is too much for the adhesive to hold. The X has a less aggresive roundness, and that's why it doesn't have the score marks.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Soup_Nazi:
Alright guys, I had a conversation in Ax's "Run ROMs on different Carriers" thread, but I really want to get to the bottom of my issue, whether it be a hardware issue, ROM related, OR user related.

I've been having an issue with my phone the past few days. Started out it would read "invalid sim, need to reboot" or something along that. Anyways this was after flashing a nightly and I figured, OK, it's a nightly i'll live with it. Eventually my phone just started to power off/reboot all by itself; not real consistent but it was happening more than I would like. Today, the S*&% really hit the fan. I flashed a nightly Wednesday night(i'm not going to say which one, because i'm not sure if it was from the ROM itself or if this was a hardware issue). Anyways, Friday at about noon or so, I open a game to play on my lunch break, I get distracted so I lock my phone to attend to something else. I go back to my phone and it is powered off, now totally unresponsive to anything. I pull battery and try to restart, when I place the battery back in the phone it automatically reboots(WITHOUT ANY BUTTON PRESS) I thought to myself ok this is kind of weird. I try rebooting by using power+vol up...absolutely nothing, it's just a brick. Well, I pull the battery again, hold vol up thinking it will go into recovery...nope, it will boot for a sec or two, just enough to get the blue lettering on the top left of the screen then shuts off again. OK, let's put this b*&*h into download mode and see what happens. it goes into DL mode, all the way to the point of where it says " do not turn target off" then shuts down. I did both of these multiple times, with different batteries as well, plugged in and not. It won't stay on for a computer to recognize it. Someone suggested a stuck power button, I don't think so; it feels the same as it always has.

I was fortunate enough to be able to get another S4 with a busted screen so I switched out motherboards. I have a working phone again...which is all I was worried about. I've flashed quite a few ROMs, I follow procedure to the T when flashing... What do you guys think...hardware issue...user issue...ROM issue? I'm very curious to know because I don't want this happening again, obviously. I would even send the phone out to someone to play with(mind you, the screen doesn't work and the silver bezel is crappy because I just used my original one).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] crazzysandman:
I would say stay away from whatever ROM you flashed. This could also be a hardware issue. I had my old note just randomly shut off on me and was unresponsive as well. Finally got it to boot and reset it. But in your case I would stay away from that ROM and maybe find something more stable. So as this is unknown to what happened I would not blame either. Sorry to hear about your bad experience.
