I tried to remove the carrier IQ by deleting the file libiq_service_tmobile_2.2.so, but once reboot, I am getting a pop up error:

"Unfortunately, System Manager Application has stopped."

Anyone have the stock ROM I could flash to replace the file? I have hard reset and wipe cache partition and it's not fixed.

Thanks.

Kinda OT from the all the dev talk, but has anyone found a case for this phone that doesn't completely suck?
[Samsung Galaxy Light Guides, News, & Discussion] Proud2banoob:
I use TPU cases for my phones. I like the look. The one I just got today was supposed to be blue, but it's more teal. I like it. I got it from eBay for like $6.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Guides, News, & Discussion] tazmaniondvl:
Amazon has good ones too
[Samsung Galaxy Light Guides, News, & Discussion] Planterz:
I've been using one of these, but the rubber is to flappy at the top/bottom, and hits any screen protector, peeling it off the screen. Plus, if dropped, it's likely to pop out. I've got one of these on the way. It looks like it'd hold better, but also seems like it might be kinda thick. I'll let everyone know how it is.

On a whim I just ordered the "Astronoot" and the TPU cases. The Duo Shield case looks well built and very tough, but also way to bulky. I wish Incipo or Spigen made a case for this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Guides, News, & Discussion] Planterz:
Well, it's definitely thick. Like Otterbox Defender thick. It's a 3 piece, and the hard plastic seems like it might not be the most durable, but it should at the very least provide quite a bit of protection. It also has a kickstand, which you can see in the picture if you look, but isn't mentioned in the description. Also not mentioned in the description is the fact that the opening for the headphone jack is so deep and narrow that few headphones or auxiliary cables will fit. Also, not all USB cables will fit. Pretty dumb design in that regard. The deep bezel, while providing lots of protection, also makes the home/capacitive buttons awkward to press, as is anything close to the edges of the screen.

Which XPosed to use????

Can anyone tell me the following:

Which XPosed module are you using for the GL (plain vanilla or Wanam XPosed)?

Which GravityBox?

Thanks - the OP didn't exactly specify
[Samsung Galaxy Light Guides, News, & Discussion] Planterz:
Personally, I use several, but Wanam is the main one. I haven't tried GravityBox, because it says it's not intended for heavily skinned phones like Samsung TouchWiz.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Guides, News, & Discussion] tazmaniondvl:
Wanam is Awesome, best xposed module I have used
[Samsung Galaxy Light Guides, News, & Discussion] Proud2banoob:
+1 for wanam xposed. It's really smooth and easy to use. I have no experience with gravitybox.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Guides, News, & Discussion] Proud2banoob:
Well, I had my first scare with the new phone. I was moving my apps to the sd card (I know, not necessary with this phone, but old habits die hard) and when I tried to move one (TED Talks) that started the phone boot looping. I panicked and thought I was screwed, but realized that when I could do anything with the phone, it would reboot if I tried to access the external sd. I took that out and, viola, problem solved. Now, I just have to get the apps off the sd card, so I can put it back in.

Edit: the sd card is screwed. I'll need another. Oh well
[Samsung Galaxy Light Guides, News, & Discussion] Planterz:
The Astronoot case kinda sucks. It feels like it should be a hair bigger. As it is, the phone wants to pop out of the case with even the lightest handling (never mind putting it in your pocket and moving around.

The $4 TPU case is actually surprisingly good. Protection is a bit thin, but I like the very low profile. The fit is pretty tight. I have another TPU case on order now (an $8 one) that seems to be a bit thicker, or at least covers the front a bit more.

I also got a cheap 2-piece snap-together case. It suck. The parts that snap together are brittle and fragile. Plus it smells funny.

Pretty sure my EFS and Data partitions are hosed. I would be happy just to get the phone to boot for media consumption, games and web. Really don't care about the mobile carrier function but WiFi and Bluetooth are important.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Guides, News, & Discussion] shabbypenguin:
you flashed that and it still doesnt boot? i would suggets flashing twrp and doing an advanced wipe and having it format data. if that still isnt working then there is somethign else worse. efs being corrupted would allow the device to boot, just have 0'd imei.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Guides, News, & Discussion] GJSmith3rd:
Thanks, I flashed TWRP and tried Advanced wipe and formatted data. It complains about mounting efs and pre-load but thought that was normal. Still just T-Mobile Logo. I've lost ADB on system boot as well so I can't tell if it's boot looping the same as before. It just shows as a Samsung Mobile MTP device.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Guides, News, & Discussion] Planterz:
I searched a couple weeks ago, but couldn't find anything about a replacement battery for this phone. Checked again, and replacement batteries are now (finally) available on eBay for about $11 shipped. I'll be very happy to have a spare, since the battery size/life on this phone isn't much in the way of endurance.

Just search for B105BU battery.

Anyone have know where to buy lcd's for this thing? Digitizer is fine. Need an lcd. Ive been searching for days now. cant beleive it doesn't even have a spot on xda.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Guides, News, & Discussion] Planterz:
All I see are digitizers. Forgive me for asking, but what's the difference? Luckily, I've never broken a screen before, so I've never had to find out myself how to repair one.

Despite the great value of this phone for its cost, it's just not a very popular device. Not sure why. My guess is because from T-Mobile it costs $100+ more than you can find it online, so the people that don't know better choose something else like an Alcatel or a Lumia 521 instead.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Guides, News, & Discussion] rhtb4theeyeblnks:
The piece of material above the lcd screen is your digitizer. They are mostly made of gorilla glass. When you "crack your screen" It can mean one of three things.

1:your digitizer cracked. If you still can make out everything on this screen, then you need a new digitizer.

2:You cracked both. This is usually the case when you can feel the cracks in the glass and your display is cracked.

3: Only the display is cracked. I can use all the function of my touch screen but the display is obviously boinked. <<< that's me.

When you do, hopefully never, break your screen, make sure you are getting what you broke. None of whats online is the LCD Display of the phone. Thanks for looking though. Thought I was going crazy. Is this a new phone? I don't even know anything about it.

If anyone has a parts unit of this phone I would be interested.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Guides, News, & Discussion] Planterz:
New-ish. Half a year old? But like I said, it's surprisingly unpopular and uncommon. The majority of the few cases available are junk, and replacement batteries have only recently been available. It's like a red-headed stepchild, except in this case she's Allison Hannigan. The one fortunate aspect is that the phone itself can be found for very cheap. You can easily find them for $100-130 used or even new. Replacement screens on flagships cost that much. Given time, maybe, more parts will be readily available, for people to do repairs themselves. But right now, it's almost worth it just to buy a new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Guides, News, & Discussion] Proud2banoob:
I sell a lot of them at the store, but the rooting crowd seems more into the nexus 5 (with no Wi-Fi calling). Their loss.

I just changed the look with a new lockscreen and wall paper. Stock rom, but completely non - stock look. I love it.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Guides, News, & Discussion] WetWilly:
It doesn't help that this phone seems to be a relatively rare T-Mobile exclusive. Pretty much all other T-Mobile phones that compete with the Galaxy Light - the Alcatels, Lumia 521, Optimus F3/F6 - are sold on MetroPCS and other T-Mobile MVNOs (Brightspot, WFM). Also, unlocks for the Light aren't cheap compared to the Optimus Fx and L phones that can be unlocked for less than $2.

Off topic Nexus One question

I have a question that is off-topic. I apologize, but as you guys are quite helpful and the folks in the Nexus One forum have been less than welcoming, I thought I would ask my question here. Recently a customer turned in a Nexus One he had which was bootlooping. I did the correct thing and gave it to our inventory manager. At the end of the day, he gave it back saying we didn't recycle phones and I could do with it what i wanted. I did just that, spent two hours looking around the internet, and unlocked the phone. Unlocking solved the bootlooping problem and the phone is working fine. First step to a new phone complete!! I then tried to flash a custom recovery. Every time I try, I get this error: FAILED (remote: image update error). Does anyone here know how I can correct this error? There are many instances of folks seeing this error, but remarkably little in terms of solutions presented. I have checked the USB Debugging box, but do not remember how to verify the md5 codes are correct. Any help would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Guides, News, & Discussion] shabbypenguin:
my suggestion is enable adb, use cydiaimpactor to root and then flash recovery using rom manager/goo manager
[Samsung Galaxy Light Guides, News, & Discussion] Proud2banoob:
See? I knew you guys would help. adb is already enabled, but your suggestion is to root first, then flash recovery? The guides I was reading suggested it the other way round. I will have to read up on cydiaimpactor. Thanks, Shabby.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Guides, News, & Discussion] shabbypenguin:
its the way that makes sense, but since those days there has been a number of exploits taht will root it and have it rooted even on the latest firmware (which iirc was ics?)
[Samsung Galaxy Light Guides, News, & Discussion] Proud2banoob:
The phone is currently on gb. I think that's as far as it got. There are kk roms out there, but officially gb is as far as it got.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Guides, News, & Discussion] Proud2banoob:
Done. Cydia Impactor is quite the nice little package. It took me longer to download the program than to root the phone. I had to manually install SuperSU and ROM Manager. I am still having trouble booting into recovery. I have chosen TWRP as my recovery, but I still get the andi next to the warning sign, instead of anything resembling TWRP with options. Am I not able to install a recovery because I do not have an external SD card on the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Light Guides, News, & Discussion] shabbypenguin:
im not sure i follow, you wanted twrp did you tell goo manager to install it? i would have imagined it would have had a official version.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Guides, News, & Discussion] Proud2banoob:
I did not use goo manager. i used rom manager, as that is an app with which i am familiar. when i launch rom manager i get a warning that it won't work because i do not have an external sd card mounted. there is still, however, an option for installing a cwm or twrp recovery. i tried installing a twrp recovery, but when i boot to recovery i get the same dead end i had before when booting to recovery. the little robot with the triangle/exclamation point screen, at which point it freezes and won't go past that screen. i will try goo manager. thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Guides, News, & Discussion] shabbypenguin:
because older devices like the nexus one dont have too much for storage and the way it was done was vastly different. rom manager installs cwm only, chances are its telling you without a sdcard it cant download due to lack of internal storage. so with no option of installing cwm itself it probably is just asking what recovery you have installed so it knows wether to use cwm compatible scripts or basic scripts.
[Samsung Galaxy Light Guides, News, & Discussion] Proud2banoob:
it seems to think I have cwm already installed, but gives the option of installing either cwm or twrp recoveries. there is adequate room for the installation, but i'm not worried about it. the phone works. once I get an sd card, i will install twrp and give my wife the option to use that one or my old exhibit. Whichever she doesn't want, i will use to play. thanks for your help.

hi, i flashed an AOKP rom on my g2 and after that my caldnder and contacts are not syncing!

Under add account there is no google account. There is IMAP and Cotporate options.

When i use IMAP account only my emails are syncing, not calender or contacts. And when i use corporate account (after removing prevoius IMAP account and deleting Email and Exchange apps cache, of course) then again my newly added account goes under IMAP accounts and only emails will sync.

i tried configuring my account manually, it gives me three options: IMAP, POP3, Exchange. Non of them works. All 3 of them after vaildating server configuration, gives the error that says: Couldn't open connection to server.

I tried touchdown to configure an Exchange account (with correct fields of course) it gives me this error:

Checking Certificate...Checking ActiveSync with SSL...
Server is GSE
ActiveSync was found
ActiveSync Version :Versions:GSE,1.0,2.0,2.5,12.0

Trying activesync protocol 121...
HTTP 403 ERROR: Your account may not have permission to synchronize with the provided settings. Please contact your Administrator
Trying activesync protocol 2.5...
HTTP 403 ERROR: Your account may not have permission to synchronize with the provided settings. Please contact your Administrator

after searching i found out that it seems my phone does not have permission to be synced with my account. How can i set those permissions in my account that lets my phone be synced with account?

Anyone knows why i'm having this problem?

I think if there was a google account under add account menu everything could sync flawlessly, on my prevoius phones with different roms and this phone with it's stock rom there was no such problem, after flashing this ROM these issues started to show up!

any help is appreciated.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dharmsh:
Hi Guys, I am in big trouble, My friend purchased an used galaxy s3 GT-I9300 europian/uk version two days back, and he is not tech savvy so he ask me to help to install software apps and other stuff, and handed over the phone to me for one day, so i perform hard reset to his phone, and it was running on ICS 4.0.4, so i checked for firmware update, and try to install it via OTA, after downloading update the phone restarted, but update not installed. so i again downloaded OTA update and install it, now after rebooting it freezed on samsung logo. So i wipe it via recovery mode and reboot it. Now after rebooting it freezed on a screen "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".

(1) Now i am unable to enter in recovery mode, i can only enter in download mode, so i think it is soft bricked, not hard bricked, and can be repaired some how..

(2) I am unable to see charging screen when phone is connected to USB, it shows "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". but i think it is still charging

(3) I have tried famous 15 minute battery out

(4) i have tried to install via kies

(5) i have installed 3-4 firmware via odin in download mode, but when it tries to restart, it again stuck at "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".

(6) I have tried via Oneclick Unbrick file

(7) As i plugged USB cable (either battery inside or without battery), in both case, it displays "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". screen. and i have to remove usb and battery to start it again, however when i insert only battery without usb plugged, then it never shows the screen "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".

(8) I am from india, and friend purchased phone from somebody else which is from UK so i am not able to get service centre help her.

(9) phone is more than 1 year old, and carrier unlocked, so it is out of warranty now.

Now I am out of ideas, please help me how can i resolve the issue, because my friend think, i have messed his phone, he has not dial a single call with his phone yet. PLEASE..PLEASE HELP ME OTHERWISE I HAVE TO PAY FULL AMOUNT TO HIM...PLEASE HELP......

Since it was on ICS could be affected by sudden death causing emmc failure. Samsung give 2 years warranty on handsets but you're gonna struggle in India. Try "firmware upgrade and initialization" in kies. If that doesn't work it's most likely dead, can you still see the phone model in download mode?

Hi,

I wiped my current rom in TWRP and something went wrong with the rom I was trying to install so I have a phone without an OS now (LG G2 802). Now I am stuck in TWRP. The backup for the phone is on my laptop but I cant seem to get my laptop to recognise the phone any more.

When I connect my phone to the laptop via USB it shows up in the device manager but with an exclamation mark. I've tried pointing to the LG folder under program files for the drives but for some reason they dont work and the device is still showing up with the yellow exclamation mark in the device manager. These drivers were working before this happened (I've connected the same phone to my laptop quite a few time before, including using ADB to root it earlier) so I don't know why this is happening.

Any help would be appreciated, I am completely lost right now.
