rainbow lines? I thought that happens to people who upgrade to GB, then tried to patch the bootloader (unnecessarily)?

Is that what you did?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Happy Feet-:
hello,

i would relock my Bootloader.

I have an TA Backup and the original (.136) ftf File. Now i must start the Flashtool and select the ftf file. Then in the right Corner i only unselected from the Execlude List the Kernel (kernel.sin, rpm.sin and loader.sin) i flash this.

After that i restore my TA Backup. Now my bootloader is locked.

Is this right?

Sorry for my english

:silly: What you did was mysterious but only restoring TA backup will automatically lock the bootloader. No need to flash ftfs or ....................:cool:

yes but need an Stock Kernel to relock and this is my Question.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LongUsername:
Screen darker than | 5 times darker than | normally possible thanks to Screen Filter app,

removed more than 70 system apps (I have less than 40 now) with the rest except absolutely essential being frozen,

WiFi GPS and all the rest turned off,sound muted, CPU and GPU undervolted and underclocked,(flashed 4.4.2 ROM and Dorimanx 10.43v98.4 Kernel which noticeably boosted battery life, especially after tweaking with the settings) disabled error reporting and everything else battery using I could think of while playing any game?

I doubled the battery life thanks to all the changes I made (read above) because the battery lasted barely an hour, often less.The issue was ever since I got the phone and I thought it was caused by the Samsung bloatware and Android 2.3.4.Being very UNsatisfied with the battery I bought a new one and it doesn't help except that I have double the battery life again (4 hours max) which is still very bad for Me.

The screen gets hot but the battery is even hotter and the area around the SoC (CPU, GPU etc) gets the hottest, I believe

**So is this normal? What else can I do apart from the improvements I wrote above to improve the situation?**
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheImpossibleEnemy:
If a battery gets hot maybe try flashing different modem.Can eat alot of battery if it's poorly suited for your country.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LongUsername:
Even with airplane mode on wifi always off, no simcard, phone etc apps removed? (In about phone baseband entry is blank!)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheImpossibleEnemy:
It shouldn't be so.

This could be a problem.Try flashing one suitable for your country or one of the so called global ones,like xxms2,xxms4 etc.

Wrong modem+ril may eat your battery even on airplane mode.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] knightwolf123:
Ok so I'm running a Rom that has the native Wi-Fi tether enabled but as soon as a device connects the signal drops (meaning I loose data on the phone)

I've noticed many many people after updating to kitkat having the same problem but no one has a solution.

Has anyone found a workaround to get Wi-Fi tether working again?

I'm using a sense based rom. Not sure if aosp rom would fix this issue.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Aldo101t:
i've been using this, seems to work fine i downloaded a couple roms last week over 4g ok. some say weak 4g signal keeps dropping?/
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] itsachirpthing:
+1. I have been searching for a fix myself. The 4g and native tether do not work well together, at least with me. I've tried the patch on stock roms as well with the same results. I connect just fine, but then seconds later the data will drop. I have good 4g coverage and without the hotspot active, the connection will never drop. If I switch to cdma only there are no drops while tethering. I have been testing different scenarios to find a solution, but no success yet. I also have not found any mention of the problem on the cm threads, but I prefer sense and have not tested. It makes me wonder if the sprint proxies are causing this. I am tethering a window device.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mxx20:
I've tried several rings and only one I can get to work on4g for tether Is superonek... There's prob something else but that's been my experience so far
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] itsachirpthing:
Thanks. I had not tried that one yet. Been bouncing from viper to bad boyz. I'll report back. I appreciate you sharing your find.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mxx20:
No problem, I was on ecliptic one but 4G appeared at my work one day, then one night I went to sleep with3g and woke to having 4g lol...plus we had a little road trip to the wife's family and my oldest one uses her iPod on the tether...long trip with out it lol..
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] jbhtexas:
Just curious...do you have a hotspot plan with Sprint?

I am having the same problem with the stock OTA and and using the hotspot hacks since I don't have a hotspot plan. It would be interesting to know if those with a hotspot plan (for which the native app should work unhacked) have the 4G problem too...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] itsachirpthing:
Good question. No I do not have the hotspot plan. Never have needed it with the fix prior to kk. I'm not abusive of it, but I simply hate the fact that 4g now doesn't work very well with tethering. Seems to be a hit or miss with everyone. Mine will connect, load a few pages then out of nowhere the connection drops. Go cdma only and it works as should. I'm hoping a few of these threads will gather some attention and help us find a solution for everyone.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] itsachirpthing:
Been testing some CM builds of Kit Kat. I have been running CM11 build modded by IrocEvo the last few days. I have had zero issues with any type of tethering. 4G tethering works as should with no disconnects. I'm not sure what the difference is in the scripts for the mods, but possibly someone could assist here. For now, ill be keeping a backup of this build specifically for tethering purposes.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mxx20:
I don't have hot spot on my plan, but I'm trying the new ecliptic rom with sense six, just haven't been able to try4g tether today...been to busy building an engine :/ hopefully try tomorrow
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] itsachirpthing:
After some further testing on the CDMA+LTE mode, I was able to determine that I could successfully tether my android tablet and samsung smart TV with no interruptions. The problems begin while using this mode (rather than CDMA only) and tethering my laptop. It appears while using this radio mode sprint sniffs the packets for user agent data and once determined its a windows device the connection is interrupted. My question is, why would this happen on this radio mode only? Are the APN settings different for this mode and can those be changed. Sorry to keep beating the horse, but I would like to find a solution rather than running a VPN to tether my windows 8.1 laptop. Any ideas? Thanks everyone.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mxx20:
Hmm that's interesting, I tether with my tough book(Windows7) on this rom, both 3g and 4g with no issues like that...yet..Lol
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] itsachirpthing:
Do you use chrome or IE? When I use chrome all is fine, when I start using IE I get the drops. I'm using a MS Surface Pro on Win8.1. Strange, but I think I have pinned it down.

Why would you choose to use internet explorer?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mxx20:
Honestly I use both chrome and ie...my work stuff and chrome don't agree...but I use chrome for just about everything else
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] DrZune:
I've looked into this before and the common response I would find is that it has to do with the Hotspot apk in Sense. There was some sort of change when moving from JB 4.2 to 4.3.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] knightwolf123:
I've since moved to the Google edition rom and everything works there ?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xowgax:
Hi all, hoping this is a stupidly simple fix. I wanted to update to latest stable CM7 and so downloaded and flashed it from CWRecovery,

I also ran the factory reset, and cleared the cache.

When I boot, it shows the blue loading screen, then comes to the "Welcome to ADR6300" and reverts to the CyanogenMod7 loading screen..

Then, it keeps bouncing back and forth between these two screens until I pull the battery...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
You didn't mention the order of what you did. Assuming you have no valuable data, I would just start over.

Reboot into recovery

Wipe system

Factory reset

Flash ROM

Flash GAPPs (if desired)

Reboot into ROM

Also, ensure you're on the latest CWM, first.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xowgax:
[Solved]

Worked perfectly! Thank you!!

Apparently the problem was having the wrong version of GAPPs. I was reinstalling but Wiping system was the step I had skipped!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] fdirk:
Hai I hope you can help me. A while ago i installed the beta version of kitkat at my Ascend p6 but there where google problems. I read that i have to root my phone (or flash, i dont know how it calls). Now when i push power, wol up and wol down i get a menu from Team Win Recovery Project v.2.6.3.5 Here i had to install the google items.

But now i want to put the firmware b132 version on my phone but how do i do this?? When i use local update my phone restarts in the Team Win project screen :( Can i get rid off this menu?

I hope you can understand what i mean, i am from holland and my english s$#cks, sorry. I hope someone can help me...

p.s. i read this on the forum " Flash stock recovery through ADB" but how do i do this and is this what i need?

I have a Mac not a pc
[General Topics] maritimesbob:
The mobile phone service provider in the UK, known has Ovivo has shut down with no notice. They are an MVNO using the Vodafone network.

They work by selling you a SIM card and offer services for free (via advertising). Too good to be true, I never fell for it myself but the wife did and she got five months of services before they vanished. More than I expected!!!!

The company was likely well aware they were in difficulties but up until the minute they shut down just a few hours ago they were still selling SIM cards for £20 a piece.

I've read on forums people have been angry that they purchased a SIM card a few days back, registered it this evening and got literally a few minutes of service before they shut down.

Disgraceful company and I hope the irresponsible owner(s) are held accountable, they have continued selling and making money while know the crap they were in.

Glad I stayed with GiffGaff.

Just a word of warning for those not aware, Ovivo has vanished into thin air!!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] klau1:
Since all batteries have a consumable capacity of about 1-2 years, are there any battery replacements available?

Or does this watch really cost about $150 to wear per year?

It's relatively easy to replace the battery:

[YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WzGC0786U0[/YOUTUBE]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WzGC0786U0

The battery has part number of: LSSP482230AB
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] realista87:
ok... BUT......... where to buy the specific battery?

i cannot find one. and i think that after 6... 12 months all gear will be UNFINDABLE and the battery ......will be very hard if not impossible to find.

so, all buyers after max 2 years should change the gear

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Frezi Evan:

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] forshaw:
there are cheaper ones available and there are videos on you tube to see how its installed

really easy to do ,the gear is a very easy to replace parts watch
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] slowserver:
Has anyone gotten any 3.7V batteries to work? There are some cheap ones for RC helicopters that are about 5 for $10. I saw there was another thread about higher capacity replacement. I'm not sure, but the last post mentions having batteries of the same voltage, so I guess that means the 3.7V batteries don't work? I can't find any inexpensive 3.8V batteries that are small enough to fit the gear.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Vincent-iPhilo:
Well, could it be possible to increase the memory too?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] JasW:
The only battery I've found for the Gear is the same one from the UK linked above (here it is on the US eBay site). Including shipping, it's $40. Plus you need the right tools -- I only have a set of miniature philips head and flat head screwdrivers, and taking the Gear apart requires some kind of mini torque bit. (FYI, the flat head screws on the front of the Gear are just for show!) The set the guy in this tear down vid suggests is $30 on Amazon and $20 at Walmart.

So minimum $60 to replace the battery. Concrete examples of cheaper alternatives are welcome. My battery worked fine until a month or so ago, when I noticed it was draining at an extremely high rate -- 8% to 10% an hour. I've done everything I can think of software wise -- different versions of Gear Manager, deleting SAproviders from my phone, and finally finding out there was still a drain when the Gear wasn't even connected, then rooting and deleting some apps, flashing the TizenMod ROM, upgrading to newer FW not yet available for the US, all with no joy.

I can only guess that it's the battery now, but I'd prefer not to spend $60 on a guess.

:eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] JasW:
FYI, I received the battery from the UK and the repair kit from Walmart for the aforesaid 60 bucks, and it was indeed relatively easy to change out the battery. Not like swapping out the battery on the Note 4, of course, but it's less than a five minute job.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] slowserver:
So I was able to find a much cheaper option. I found a $2.35 (us dollars) 3.7V battery that works. It's smaller capacity (240mAh), but seems to last reasonably long (went from 100% to 63% in a 24 hour period). I had to cut the connector from the original battery and solder it onto the top of the replacement battery. You can pull the existing connector away from the battery and cut as close to the battery as possible to leave enough of the metal to solder to the replacement battery. I posted a picture on i.imgur.com/fUZD6Re.png (can't post pictures yet) You'll also have to desolder red and black wires on the new battery before soldering on the old connector. Make sure you keep the polarity the right way around when you solder the connector to the new battery. (red wire is typically + and black is -). Here's what the new battery looks like (from the back) once the soldering is done and the connector is pushed back into place i.imgur.com/2jHv7ly.png

I kept a close eye on the watch the first time I charged it and the battery didn't get too hot to the touch. It's been a few days now and it's gone through a couple of charge cycles and seems OK. I don't have enough cred on this forum to post a link to the battery I bought, but if you do a google search for the following, it's one of the first links that comes up:

3.0 cm x 2.0 cm x 0.5 cm 240mah lion 3.7v battery
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Papasmurfinator:
Thanks for the info!

So, I'm going to give this a try! Do you have any updates on how the watch is holding up? Are you still able to hold a charge for at least 24 hours? Have you had any problems develop with the watch afterwards?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] stevedrz:
Great post. Ordered the battery you mentioned as well; it's actually hard to find anything decent above 240mah it seems. I've had my galaxy gear (gear1) now for over 18 months, use it every day and have probably run through more than 300 charge cycles... The battery is definitely not holding the same charge as it did; can't get a full day of use anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] slowserver:
Sorry, haven't been checking these forums regularly. Yes, the replacement battery is still holding up well and hasn't degraded noticeably. If you're comfortable with a soldering iron, then go for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ttlog:
So I also took the plunge and ordered a 340mah from eBay for about 9€. I cut the pads from the original battery and soldered the leads of the new one on it. It was a tight fit but so far the experiment worked. I am just testing the battery, just sitting on idle and on day two the battery is at 55%. When I am sure it won't short or blow up on my hand, I 'll connect it to the smartphone and see how it goes.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkmemen:
HTC Desire Bravo

I was having problems with the earpiece on calls where I couldn't hear the other person unless I put them ou loudspeaker or used earphones. They could hear me fine. I decided to have a go at replacing the earpiece to see if it resolved the problem. I followed one of the disassembly videos on youtube.

I've just put the phone all back together but now it isn't reading either my SD card or my sim card. I've pulled it apart again and doubled checked I put everything back together and it all seems fine. What sort of thing would be causing this problem? Any suggestions to help welcome.

Thanks for any help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkmemen:
I also don't seem to be able to connect to wifi using the phone. I presume I must have messed up something pretty bad when taking it apart.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
There has to be some kind of cable not properly attached if a ROM reflash doesn't solve the issue.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkmemen:
Thanks for the reply. I've taken it apart about five times now and checked everything but still had no joy.

I'll do a ROM reflash to see if it does anything. Could someone advise or point to a guide on how I do this without SD or wifi access? Can I do it via USB cable to the computer?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkmemen:
Well that wasn't easy but finally got a new ROM flashed. The below is how to go about it for anyone that comes across the same problem.

This is for all those who don't have a working sdcard, sdcard slot, etc. but want still to flash a new rom

Prerequisites:

1. Flash an Amon_RA recovery if you're using Clockwork - I recommend Darch's unofficial (CDMA Hero refer to my signature if you need it)

2. Access to a computer that had AndroidSDK tools on it - you'll be using ADB

3. Put whichever ROM.zip you want to flash in your android-sdk\tools folder - I would rename it to something simple. (My example which I'll be using for this tut is: C:\AndroidSDK\toosl\ROM.zip)

Directions:

1. Reboot into the Amon_RA recovery

2. Wipe data/factory reset, cache, and dalvik via the recovery menu

3. Open up cmd/terminal on your computer

4. Navigate to your android-sdk\tools directory

5. Enter the following in cmd/terminal:

Code:

adb shell

mount data

6. *wait a second or two* You may or may not get the "/ #" line returned.

7. Despite what happens press "Ctrl+C" to break the command and get back to the standard AndroidSDK\tools> directory

8. Enter the following in cmd/terminal:

(replace "ROM.zip" with the name you're using)

Code:

adb push ./ROM.zip /data/

*this will take anywhere from 30sec to a min depending on the rom.zip size*

9. Then we do this in cmd:

Code:

adb shell

recovery --update_package=DATA:ROM.zip

10. Wait for it to finish flashing/updating

11. Reboot

12. ENJOY

Brief rundown of what we just did:

• Wiped /data/ to free up space for the zip

• Put our ROM.zip onto the /data/ partition since we don't have an SD Card to work with.

• Told the recovery to flash from our /data/ partition instead of /sdcard/

I have got wifi back working on the phone but still the phone isn't reading the sim or SD card. :(
