No idea if that makes any difference..

edit:flash 4.4.2 via Odin,from sammobile.. But do remember that u will get Knox bootloader in ur phone.

Similarly,u can go to Samsung care and get it updated..

Step 1: Download the firmware package and extract the

zip file. You will get a .tar.md5 file and

Step 2: Download Odin v3.09 , and extract the zip file.

You will get Odin3 v3.07.exe along with few other files.

Step 3: Run Odin3 v3.09 as an Administrator.

Step 4: Switch off the Galaxy S4 and boot it into

Download Mode by pressing and holding Volume Down,

Home and Power buttons.

Step 5: Connect the Galaxy S4 to the computer via the

USB cable and wait until a blue sign appears in Odin.

Step 6: Click on the AP button in Odin and select

the .tar.md5 file that was extracted in Step 1.

Step 7: In Odin, ensure that the Auto Reboot and F.

Reset Time options are checked.

Step 8: Now, click on the Start button in Odin to begin

the installation process.

Step 9: After the installation is complete, the device

will restart automatically.

Step 10: Once you get the pass on odin , you can unplug the device from the computer

and close Odin.

Give a factory reset before flashing the firmware otherwise it will not boot

Hi,I personally feel there is no difference in the heat from the phone.whenever i run a benchmark like quadrant or antutu the phone heats up quickly. even in 4.4.2 too.one more thing i found out is the battery drain.the phone is just one week old and battery drains like hell.within 2 hrs of chaton and msging friends the battery falls from 100 to 63% which is way too bad.i dont understand why this crazy battery drain.

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

If you are unable to get OTA update then there is something seriously wrong with your phone. First make sure it is 9500 as the update is aimed at 9500 only. If you still cant update it I would strongly suggest you go to a samsung service center. There is no reason why you can not receive the update over the air. One of my friend had purchased a phone from black market. When he did not receive 4.2.2 update he goes to the service center and it turns out that his was a imitation.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aayushkhajuria2842:
Yes it can be true but flashing via odin fixes this as in his case i had gone toh service centre to ask for this problem they said it may be because otas cant update a phn with two consecutive version

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ILS_SuperNova:
Afternoon all,

Is there a pure KitKat Rom for Note 3? Best one recommended?

Is there a pure ROM with any of the Samsung features included? Because I still use SPen etc but not everything.

Finally I have a S5 theme on my Note 3 at the moment ( only new icons ) is there a way to use the icons on all the UI not just the home screens and app drawer?

Thank you all for help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rlin5741:
Short version: does anyone had a mod or guide on how to swap out the Samsung exchange system for stock android exchange? I upgraded to a ROM that I like but get bad battery drain whenever I use Samsung's exchange (ROM does not have option to use stock android email). Preferably a version that works with TW 4.3 ML1 ROMS

Long Version:

I have battled battery drain related to an exchange server for some time now. I am pretty sure my exchange provider (Apptix) is partially at fault, since this started when they migrated us to a new server, but their help team is rather abyssmal and they are not able to pinpoint any issue on their end, claiming a lack of complaints.

I say partially at fault because I am able to use a ROM that has the stock android exchange (rather than Samsung exchange) and that works fine, as does my Nexus 7 and iPad, and everyone else's iOS and Motorola Droid devices. So I had a couple of theories:

1. Somehow, my exchange provider installed some extra security that is designed to recognize Samsung devices and try to work with KNOX or the old SAFE system to implement extra security, but on a ROM'd and Rooted device, those components are missing and exchange services just run in a loop.

2. The stock Samsung exchange services have some memory issue, where they will continuously sync because they run out of memory

3. The stock Samsung exchange services do not deal well with unread messages (I notice that it will not sync read/unread in real time until I launch the email app, whereas the stock android one will not sync read/unread until either I launch the app or a new email comes in.

I theorized about #2 and #3 because my problem seems to get much better if I use a ROM where the security settings of the exchange services have been removed. Drain is still there, and I think it may coincide with periods that I have unread emails, but I am not sure. Data usage is also much lower (Samsung exchange with security would use up to 10MB or more per hour), but not as low as when I use a stock android exchange services. Also, it appears that samsung android services (without security) is keeping the phone awake without actually using the CPU - so perhaps it keeps awake if there is a unread notification? Below are my battery stats.

So for those of you that read the long version - has anyone else experienced this? Has anyone had any luck figuring it out? And yes, I have tried removing and adding back the exchange account, removing the account through OWA. And to pre-empt the inevitable "use third party" - I like having an integrated exchange solution, where I can see calendar next to my gmail calendars.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] elco:
I wonder if you good people could help. :)

My XDA2 is running WM2003SE (The great "XdA2JoJo.v3.2zS." Thanks, pare! :) ) and Radio 1.18. It's been OK for the last 7 or 8 months. I usually carry it in its original leather case in my pants pocket (front left hand side).

Then suddenly cellular signal gets very weak in places where it used to be strong. Sometimes I can make a call only after resetting the phone. But many times this doesn't work. Anyway after going outdoors, signal comes back. :(

After this I put it in my pants pocket. When I pulled it out, the phone was dead. Only a hard reset would turn it back on again. :(

This is repeatable. If I put my phone in my pants pocket, after moving around and sitting down and standing up, the phone will need a hard reset to get going again. :(

I'm almost certain something is loose inside, which could be causing low signal reception and the need for hard resets.

What could be loose?

I'm handy with a screwdriver and have taken apart other phones before. Could I tighten it or fix it myself?

Thanks in advance for your replies! :)
[Moto X Q&A] natezire71:
This isn't a major issue, but I don't seem to be able to connect to a college's WPA2-PSK network. I can establish a connection, but I'm never able to access the Internet. I've gone through the login page, and yet it refuses to work properly. I didn't have any trouble connecting on my Nexus 7 and laptop, yet my MotoX has trouble.

I just recently upgraded to 4.4.2, using the Safestrap method. I'm obviously rooted. I can't think of any apps installed on my phone that aren't installed on my tablet that could be causing this issue. I don't know if its a 4.4.2 issue, because my GF has a MotoX (AT&T) and she's on 4.4, and has been connecting fine for months. I upgraded to 4.4.2 just two days ago... And this is the first time I've tried connecting to this type of network.

Any ideas? I appreciate any and all help.
[Moto X Q&A] drago10029:
Just some general troubleshooting thoughts:

1. Try logging in using different browsers. may help.

2. How exactly did you upgrade? Did you clean flash? Did you leave the data intact to keep you apps and app data?

3. Did you restore with Titanium Backup?

Lastly, what kind of WiFi network is it?, what do you mean "this type of network..."? does internet work at all? and if you're signing in with her account they could be limiting the amount of devices signed in.

GIT CONFLICT FIXER
​

I made this little script called Git Conflict Fixer, the name says all I guess. The script does not have a brain that can solve REAL issues in the code, what it does is the following:

- Search in current dir for merge derps inside the files (usually happens after merging a branch or maybe just 1 commit)

- Edits the derped files by the standard procedure:

- Commits if wanted

In 90% of the cases this easy way is the right way to fix it (luckily). so the 10% that's left is up to yourself to fix

This is not a wonder tool from outer space that will fix all your problems, but it will definitely help you when doing merges. So don't blame me if your code is not working ;)

Github Repository:

https://github.com/broodplank/GitConflictResolver

[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] desalesouche:
his sir, is there a way to use that tool for kernel instead git?

i mean to merge all from old kernel to new virgen kernel?
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] broodplank1337:
Well it just "fixes" all conflict merges that are made by the way git marks it (<<<<<< ,=====, >>>>)

So the title says git but that just means it's only fixes that kind of conflicts. if you merge the old kernel to new kernel (with git I assume, what else, copy paste is not an option). and you remove the .git folder afterwards it will also works, it's just a matter of conflict types.

so basically:

in new kernel folder

git remote add old https://github.com/desalesouche/yourrepo
git fetch old
git merge old/branchname (now you will get the errors)
fixmerge (choose not to commit it)

Now try to compile the rom, if it works you can commit it, if not you will have to do some fixing yourself, since it just do basic replacing, in 90% of the cases this enough and will fix the problem but it's not guaranteed!
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] sorg:
OMG. You offer blind-fix for problems? Good it's not Nuclear plant firmware ;)

Never ever do this if you want quality software. Everything which can be automatically solved is already solved by git. Everything else should be manually examined before commit.

Git is more strict than patch app while cherry-picking, so it may produce such false-conflicts. In this case i suggest to make format-patch and then apply it through patch app. This way is also "automatic" conflict fixer, but in more proper (read: more success chances) way. This will eliminate false-conflicts and will adjust patch lines where possible, although you won't be able to use 3-way mergetool option (which you won't use anyway according to OP).
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] broodplank1337:
I do not offer a real fix, just a replacement, the script has no brain as described and only does basic replacement. I know this is not a real problem solver, but when I look at my history of merge conflicts when doing mass merges I can say that 99% of the case it was just the standard replacement procedure that was the solution. Only in some rare cases (in my experience) the default replacement does not fix the code but break it instead.

The actual reason why I post shell scripts in this section, because mostly I've just found out how some function works in shell script (in this case it was reading ranges), and then I write an script that is related to android. I have a lot of little scraps like these floating around on my pc and I usually share them once in a while.

And thanks explanation on the "real" conflict solving way, I will take a look in it sometimes whether it allows automation

As for the registry writing, nearly all OEM "Settings" apps will write to the registry. They will only do so at specific paths, and usually only certain values there. They can't be used to make arbitrary changes to the system.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Morpheus Phreak:
What this means is that the update didn't complete properly, and there are some .NET entries that are still borked. It can be easily fixed.

Just install another keyboard language and reboot. It will start the process of compiling all of the frameworks, and when it is finished everything should be back to normal. :)

Ok. This isn't something that happens to me and not being able to correct a mistake is also something that doesn't happen. So here I go...

There is a closed thread down there involving how to get a hotspot to work. In the thread there was a comment explaining how the link inserted was to a paid app and he didn't understand why it was there. In his vague post I assumed he didn't want to pay; hence my comment after. I was unaware that the link was indeed a link to an already paid for app: confirmed by Google play. I am not one that touts downloading or accepting pirated anything: songs, software, anything that takes money from developers, musicians, etc. When I realized my error of downloading and accepting that software...which by the way does work, so support that developer...I uninstalled it and went to play and bought it. I just felt I needed to post this because I felt bad after the other thread was closed. I buy everything I use. Whether it comes to books, magazines, games, apps...I pay because I feel whoever created what I'm using should be compensated. I don't support piracy...and never will.

I have a N900W8 (Canadian Note 3) which is on 4.3 Jelly Bean.

It was rooted, tried to update to the OTA 4.4.2 and was denied with a "custom" error.

So I used SuperSU full unroot option, still custom system status, cannot upgrade.

I have downloaded 4.3 and 4.4.2 stock firmwares that correlate with my CSC from sam-mobile, my question:

If I use Odin 3.09 to install the 4.3 firmware again to get back to stock, will this trip Knox? Also I am assuming if it will not I would be ok to upload the 4.4.2 firmware directly after as well, via Odin 3.09?

Let me know if you can, really itching to do this, will not do it blindly however. Need an answer from another member before I go ahead.

I hate Knox so much, last Samsung phone for sure. Stuck with it now however, I had no idea about Knox, had I known I would have most likely kept the Nexus 5 I traded for this beast, ;)
