[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theolepsy:
4.3 was apparently updated to add Knox. The guide I used mentioned flashing the zip.

The phone model is a SGH-L710 running 4.3 stock OTA right now besides the Root Access and TWRP Recovery. I have attempted to use Odin, Goo Manager, Rom Manager, etc. to try a different recovery, nothing seemed to work.

Even used CF-Auto-Root to attempt to fix the problem, no bueno lol.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srhat:
I got a notification that 4.4.2 update is available for me and I clicked yes to download and install it. I left my phone alone on charge while it was installing the update. When I came back to check what is going on, I saw that phone is stuck on a black screen and nothing happens. Orange led was off even though it is plugged on the charger. I forced restart and it stuck on the startup animation.

I tried to perform a factory reset, but when choose factory reset option from the boot menu, it shows a green update icon for a very short time and it restarts and gets stuck at the startup animation again.

I never tried to root my phone, I was just trying to install a regular update.

It seemed weird to me that orange led is off even though the phone is plugged. The phone only charges when it is turned off.

Any advice?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oo1234567892014:
Hi all,

I've got a Kyocera Torque with Andriod 4.1.2 and the screen lock feature on it is very annoying. My last phone was a Motorola Atrix with Android 4.1.1 and the screen lock feature on it worked well. I enabled a PIN lock screen with a two minute time-out, which was longer than the screen time-out. It worked as follows:

- If the screen timed-out but you press the on button with a second or two, the screen re-awoke with no lock, i.e. you returned to the screen you just left.

- If the screen timed-out but it was less than the two minute security time-out, you were presented with a simple (non-PIN) swipe unlock.

- If the screen timed-out and it was more than the two minute security time-out, you were presented with the PIN keypad

Seems nice enough. However, Kyocera misses the middle item above:

- If the screen times-out but is less than the two minute security time-out, the screen re-awakes with no lock, i.e. you returns to the screen you just left. This leaves you prone to butt dialing, random browsing, etc...

- If the screen times-out and it is more than the two minute security time-out, you are presented with the PIN keypad

It looks like "C Locker" provides this functionality, but then that won't integrate well with the encryption. Is there a way to port the Motorola locker to the Kyocera?

Thanks,

Michael
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SGS4ActiveUser:
I used to have root prior to the update and it is gone now (obviously). I am wondering is it possible to flash a different Rom onto the phone to regain root access sort of like downgrading? Or is that not possible anymore either? I have looked for the answer to this but couldn't find anything. If it is possible is there a way to get cyanogenmod on there and would it be done using odin?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devo7v:
The locked bootloader means no custom recovery and no flashing of files that aren't signed by Samsung. With the new ML2 bootloader you cannot downgrade to any other firmware. Without root you cannot use SafeStrap either. Basically if you're on ML2 you are stuck and can't do anything.

If you're willing please help us find a way to achieve root on ML2. Check this thread for updates.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Ahad Ejaz:
My g pro fell and the glass cracked and I don't know what to do. The screen is working perfectly though so that means only the glass needs to be replaced I wanted to ask someone if the glass available on eBay or amazon or etradesupply are reliable or not . I have to get it from an online shop because this phone is uncommon in our country. If someone can help me it would be much appreciated
[LG Optimus G Pro] cougar214:
If the phone is still working then the damage isn't bad. You just have to replace the glass. Also known as the digitizer. I have made many purchases from Ebay and Amazon. And while some of the things I got didn't meet my expectations, most was fine. I would recommend you read, read, read reviews BEFORE you make a purchase. Companies can make all the wild claims about their products they want. I rely on what the people say about the product before I buy anything. Just be sure to get the digitizer for your make and model and if replacing it yourself is out of your league, bring it to a repair shop to have it done.

[LG Optimus G Pro] cougar214:
Yes. That will work but why not spend the few extra bucks and get the whole digitizer? It's more work to replace the whole thing but it's worth it in the end just in case taking that digitizer cable off doesn't go so well.
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
Correct. Just buy the screen with the cable already on it.

Those micro ribbon cables are very delicate. One false move and you can tear them. Even a repair place will replace the whole digitizer and not just the glass for that very reason. Spend the extra money for the whole digitizer.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
I broke both the screen and the USB port on my D710, so I got on eBay and ordered another phone. The replacement one I found has a broken camera and SD card reader, which is no problem since mine work fine. The ESN is advertised as being clean.

Upon receiving the phone, everything looked great and I replaced the broken parts with my own working ones to make a fully functional D710. I got on Sprint's webpage and activated the phone using the MEID and Sprint's page says the phone is activated. However, the phone won't acknowledge that it has been activated, and always says it's roaming and on 1xRTT. PRL and profile won't update. I did a one-click wipe and reinstall of GB27 and that didn't fix it either. Lastly, a Sprint tech took his swing at it and couldn't get it to activate either after a couple hours of trying.

Does anyone know any tricks for getting a stubborn phone to activate? Or, does anyone know what is happening that is preventing it from updating?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bazirker:
It turns out that whoever had the phone before me had loaded an unusual PRL. I realized this when I discovered that I had to enable international roaming in order to get a connection, then checked the PRL version to find a really weird (custom?) PRL had been loaded.

I used this link to upload a Sprint PRL: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1267893

Note that the MSL on the phone is 000000 since it was a clean ESN and unattached to any account (that it knew of, at least.) After loading a Sprint PRL and activating the phone online, I was able to get voice and 4G but not 3G and the phone still showed an MSL of 000000. I took it to Sprint, and they did a hands-free activation which fixed it right up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Dabreaker9:
Hi, going to make it short:

Whenever I start my phone, it takes 2 minutes for sound, wifi, widgets and whatnot to properly work. This only happened after I updated to KitKat (OTA). What could be wrong?

It's not that big of a problem, but it's weird how updating caused it.

If it matters, I had the leaked 4.4.2 ROM for AT&T and used ted77usa's 4.3 ROM so I could update to the official 4.4.2. (thanks, ted!)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] wd4oay:
long time to boot

If you have an external SD card installed it seems to take longer to boot initially in order to read the card for some reason. As long as it becomes normal after about two minutes, it should be ok. I've rarely had to reboot since installing the official kitkat update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Dabreaker9:

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShotingCox:
Hello,

I experience the following problem:

When i get called and i take the call, i usually need some time to take the phone to my ear.

In this time the phone thinks it is clever and automatically activates loudspeaker mode, because it thinks i dont have the phone at my ear.

This, indeed, is correct, but i'm just not quick enough to take it to my ear :D

To my question: Is there an option to disable this automatic loudspeaker activation? No matter how hard I try, i am too slow ^^

Any solutions?
