[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] tls1tls1:
Hi all,

I tried to install cm-11 for my us player 5. It kept failing with a recursive error message. I then read that my version of CWM (v 3.0.x) was too old. I tried using odin to install yp-g70-kernel-r14-cwm.tar (converted from zip using a tool) which has a newer version of CWM. It does connect to the phone but when I click start I get the following messages:

<ID:0/006> at the beginning of each line.

File Analusis

setup connection

initialization

get pit for mapping

firmware update start

meta-inf

nand write start

(blank line)

complete(write) ooperation failed

all threads complete (sucees 0/failed 1)

now the galaxy player is stuck / bricked?

And in the screen have a new icon. a phone on the left/a dotted line with a yellow exclamation mark connecting to a computer on the right.

this icon also shows when i try download mode (vol down and plug computer). computer does beep to indicate connection.

if i try to turn it off, the screen goes blank for a couple of seconds and then this image comes back.

if i try to reboot into recovery mode it just keeps cycling that image on and off....grrr

i

Now i cannot turn it off :(

any suggestions and help would be grateful.

Thanks!

I tried using R4 tar and it downloaded to the player. now the player simply says samsung on the display

download mode now works with the "do not turn of target" msg

Now I am able to install R9

now I have cwn 5.

I tried to instal cm11 and I get an error <this is a "herring">
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] tls1tls1:
I tried to install my previous cm 10.1...

I wipe everything, etc...

I get assert failed on getprop("ro_product.device") = "YP-G70" || a whole bunch more....

How can I set that or clear that?

Thanks!

Hi all,

Finally got the bugger working. on CM11 (kk4.4). I did alot of trial and error...so it's difficult to know exactly which steps worked.

I copied the yp_g70-kernal_r14-cwm.zip to the device and installed it.

I copied the KKernel_R2.1_USA.zip to the device and installed it.

I copied the cm-11-20140113-iunofficial-venturi.zip and installed it... and turned off assertions

then i was able to boot it up but the 3 buttons on the bottom got stuck lit and did not work (usa version).

I copied and installed the cm11-uskernel_dec24.zip and installed it.. which fixes the buttons :)

Thanks for listening :)

Does anybody else have problems trying to use PC Companion's Backup and Restore function?

It just will not work for me.

I fire it up and then choose the items I want to back up (regardless of what I choose will cause failure - I even tried selecting just basic items, which comes to about a backup the size 600KB and STILL it fails)

Basically after I select the items and click OK, it will then sit there for ages "preparing" - there's a small animation of dots going from PC to phone and vice versa.

Then after a very long time, a screen comes up specifying the size of the backup (as above, it could be 600KB or if I include photos too it will be over 1GB) and the file name I want to call it. When I click next, the progress bar starts to go up as the backup is made (again, very slowly) But it will then always randomly freeze, the PCC app goes into a state of "not responding" and the workspace of the app goes black. It then does nothing.

It's not a case of it's doing something and I have to wait, as I have waited, a VERY long time whilst it's been in this state, but nothing happens. Sometimes I get a screen saying backup failed, or sometimes it just stays black. But I can see nothing is happening as there are no I/O read/writes to the hard disk going on in Task Manager.

I've tried this on 3 different PCs, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows XP, all with the same result. I've also tried factory resets of the phone with no luck.

Does anybody else have this??

Thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] djrembo:
Haii,

I think it is a problem that lots of people are dealing with.

i've got the same problems with the Sony PC Companion.

I never use that tool again, and do the factory resets on my phone and copy everything thrue the browser.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Theandroidkid123:
I have had trouble with PC Companion also.

It communicates with my xperia s when attempting to backup, and then when I ask it to start it stops responding and crashes.

I just don't bother with it...

Bang!! my device is bricked. It's a dual sim version and is not booting up in neither fastboot nor os even pc isn't detecting the phone. onle led is blinking if I connect the phone with a charger with or without battery.

Hi there, I have the same problem on cwm, and i feel it's about the TIME spending in recovery. When go to recovery after some minutes, phone vibrates several times and reboots; and it doesn't matter it is backing up, restoring, or doing nothing! I had to divide backup & restore process into separate parts by doing custom backup & restore: at first i backup system and boot, reboot the cwm, then backup data, reboot cwm again and backup other partitions...

I hope this help;)

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frozenfyre:
I swear for as smart.and.as great as this phone is, the easiest things to fix which pose the biggest.problems arent.fixed. Having the phone plugged.in.while using.it in landscape creates huge stress.on the port. So much that the cable gets looser as the pins are bent. Stupid samsung with their.idiotic location for.ports, but I.digress... has anyone found a longterm fix for this? . I thinking like a plastic moount that clips.to.

The bottom of the phone and.encases the beginning of the charger cable to prevent any stress in any direction? My temporary solution is I rubberband the beginning of the cable in a few loops as if I have it zip tied. This prevents any minor tugging from directly pulling the port.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pete4k:
First of all new USB 3 port cost about $14 and could be replaced by user in about 30 min even if you don't have 1 yr warranty. You can use any USB 2 wire to charge Note 3, some are much thinner and more flexible, than the factory cable. And with at least 6 hours screen time I can't imagine running out of power before night, when I put it on charger and go to sleep, but I do have full time job and little kids so actually never had a chance to use it for 6 hrs in 1 day anyhow. Maybe you need bigger battery and if you don't like Samsung design maybe another phone, I don't see anything wrong with it, otherwise would not buy it, heard Apple is a popular brand, but never actually used it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beowulf_pt:
I hate giving a reply that doesn't really help the OP, but I can somewhat sorta agree with this comment. Sorta.

Because I got the Note 3 now but haven't broken its port yet.

However I did have the Note 2 and the Galaxy S2 and there was that issue if you're careless. Sloppy plugging and stress, sometimes a few drops of water falling on the port too and shorting it, etc. Anyway, I'm very unskilled and clumsy regarding basic electronics repairs but still managed to replace the USB board on the S2 with Ebay parts. It was less than 20 USD, the board and a kit of screwdrivers. It really is very easy to replace that part if you damage the USB port (getting the infamous "charging / not charging intermittent warnings, even when the phones are not connected to anything).

I seriously doubt the N2 or N3 are much more complex. (I used repair videos on YouTube for the S2, I'm sure they will pop up for the N3 if relevant)

Not so with other components (Screen, for instance). So take some care with it and don't worry too much because even home-repair is fairly accessible and cheap in that case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frozenfyre:
Okay let me paint you a picture..I play aot of poker. there is an outlet under the table so I have my phone plugged in sitting on the rail behind my chips as I either watch 24/7 movies or play games.but since my phone is horizontal, naturally gravity works its magic and puts pressure on the port. not only that, but the less slack I have the more pressure is applied.

so as you can see my circumstances are very specific to my regular usage of this device. hence I utilize rubber bands.sometimes.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gino_76ph:
Hi There.

I am thinking of buying a SIM-free Samsung Galaxy S4 phone. I currently reside in the UK and the last update i saw for the S4 (my wife had one until she sold it to a friend) was 4.2.2.

Now, I heard Android 4.2.2 is now live and available to (almost) everyone in the UK.

But, what i want to ask is about the camera. As someone who owned and have actually tried i can say that the S4 camera app itself is slower than the one on the S3 and the iPhone 5. I'm talking about opening/starting up the app and the shutter lag (i.e. pressing the camera shutter button and in-between shots).

Is there any mention on camera enhancements on the Android 4.4.2 for the galaxy S4?

Please advice. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdnml:
I just tried a test where my device will be inside the pocket and I have to take it out and take a pic.

My first shot took me exactly like 5.5 seconds starting from taking the device from pocket to firing up the first shot.In the next 4 seconds I was able to take

around 5-7 shots.

So basically , I was able to get around 7 shots within 10 seconds time frame.

In second test , I tried burst mode.It took me 7 seconds to start burst mode.By the end of 9th second , I got 30 shots.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gino_76ph:
Does doesn't tell me anything i'm afraid. My main question is did the Android 4.4.2 actually improved the speed of the camera of the galaxy S4?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
No. This improvement will be added in the New Samsung Galaxy S5.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdnml:
Everything is same as 4.3.The speed of shots , camera launch time etc.

If you want to compare against 4.2 , only improvement is camera launch time which is reduced from 6-7 seconds to 3 seconds.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Honchay:
Well, think twice before you get it if you care on camera, the S4 its a good phone overall but... look at my POST
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gino_76ph:
I've seen your post and it does confirm what i'm fearing that...the camera is slow to start and shutter lag is awfully slow.

So, why Samsung came up with the 4.4.2 update for the S4 with only "incremental" improvements in the first place?

Camera issues like slowness and sluggishness especially the shutter lag leaves me wondering why it wasn't updated.

If i'm too worried about camera startup and zero shutter lag what Android phone should i be looking at?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdnml:
Once refer to this review :

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gino_76ph:

I have formatted the tablet installed the stock rom, installed cleanrom. Nothing seems to work.
