[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] d9vabder:
Same here =/

Flashing a kernel before ROM didn't do anything.

I'm starting to think that we don't have Super User installed anymore, I tried re-installing some BackUps (rooted backups)

and TWRP said something like, you don't have SuperUser instyalled, want to install it? *Slide to Install* Phone quickly reboots (not showing any proof of Super User being installed in TWRP emulator) and still no effect.

When I get some time ill look into how to install SuperUser, which I thought was already put on when we root.

Have you tried installing any other ROMS with success?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] d9vabder:
Are you still on MDL? I am, and im starting to think i need to just go ahead and do the update from AT&T, and then switching over to Safestrap recovery, but i hope i can find another solution before doing all that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] motel6man:
I haven't tried any other roms yet. I haven't really seen any that I liked.

I'm still on mdl. I'm going to keep looking around for a solution. Please let us know if you found a way to fix it.

Also heres a screen shot of my info
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gquint90:
Are you using Safe strap?

I was having the same problem after like 4 tries i figured out that every time I would download this it would go into the internal memory when it should have gone into the xd. I had to move folders manually. After that everything has been working correctly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] d9vabder:
Do you know what folders have to be moved and where?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gquint90:
I created a new one on the xd card named it roms so I won't forget.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] d9vabder:
All I did was go to Mounts in TWRP recovery and mounted my microSD card and this fixed the problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] motel6man:
cool im going to go try it in a few mins thanks

i tried mounting both internal and external and still nothing can you go through the steps you did from start to finish maybe im missing something
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] d9vabder:
Okay, so the first thing i did was mount my microSD(external sd) then a full wipe. Even though i was mounted to my sd card, i still had to navigate to my internal memory to select the zips i wanted to flash. I first installed an older release of Hyperdrive Rom, and during installation, i selected Full Wipe option again. i also added my AT&T compatibility pack.zip to be flashed right after the ROM. Also, i dont know if this affected anything, but i tried installing the T-Mobile compatibility pack on a previous attempt. I read somewhere where some1 did this and it worked for them, but it didnt work for me until i did another install of RLS15 and the ATT pack.

Hope this can help you

Starting today through the 21st all Motorola items are 20% off. The power support site says discount will be applied at checkout yet no discount is taken. Anyone else seeing this issue as well?
[Moto X Accessories] rupterr:
Discount is coming off for me. Just ordered the Brilliant screen protectors.
[Moto X Accessories] titans1187:
I just tested it out and whats weird is I ordered a air jacket grip. If you add only that item to your cart no discount is taken. I then added the regular air jacket and it took 20% off of both items. Remove the regular air jacket and leave just the grip and again no discount. I'll drop them an email and ask them whats up. The promo states all motorola products

Hi,

I have an LG E970 phone that I am using for about a month but now the screen sometimes goes dark, and I cannot see anything on the phone. Can you please help resolve this issue if anyone have experienced this issue before. The phone is just about a month old.

Hi,

I am facing same issue. If anyone can help us. Please do reply.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] wuxiekeji:
Newbie here with the Gear, sorry if this has been asked before but I googled for a while.

I have a rooted Gear with Null ROM and rooted phone. Bluetooth tethering is awfully slow though when I'm indoors since my phone gets crappy 3G/4G reception, but I have solid Wi-Fi -- the phone's apps all work great through Wi-Fi, but the bluetooth tether insists on trying to use cellular data even though Wi-Fi is there.

Is there any way to allow the bluetooth tethering to use both the 3G/4G as well as the Wi-Fi connection, whatever the phone has available?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
It's limited to whatever your phone rom allows. E.g. international stock rom allows tethering via Wi-Fi where as most carrier rounds will only work with cellular data (if it is even an option)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] wuxiekeji:
Thanks! But why should it be limited by the carrier? I want to tether the actual Wi-Fi connection over bluetooth, not the cellular connection (because the Gear doesn't have Wi-Fi, but my phone does, and 95% of the time I'm indoors where I have much better Wi-Fi than cellular reception).

If it makes a difference, I bought my Nexus 4 directly from Google so it's stock ROM and rooted. If I have to change to some other ROM (e.g. Cyanogenmod) I'm willing to do that
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hurdlejade:
maybe just a few words from my side - why do you need a faster internet connection?

i mostly use it just to sync new data like calendar, or to do list. even slow internet is enough to do that, as it's not a lot of information to be exchanged. if you are planning on streaming videos or so, prepare that your gear will die quickly..
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] wuxiekeji:
For light use, faster internet means the device wastes less CPU cycles waiting for responses. It's going over bluetooth either way, so better the device get the data in a fraction of a second than say 20-30 seconds (literally; I get only GPRS and occasionally EDGE in my office, never 3G or 4G, but I have flawless Wi-Fi). In those 20-30 seconds I could have pulled the phone out of my pocket to check what came through.

Although in all honesty I bought the Gear to hack with, and there are lots of crazy ideas I want to do with it that want a fast internet connection. Yes, the battery will die quickly, but that's the price of early adoption; I just want to hack for now and hope that when battery technology becomes better I can continue to be living with my futuristic apps. For now I can live with a charging cable down my sleeve and an external battery in my pocket, but I don't want to use USB tethering since I want it to still be able to go while disconnected.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
I meant carrier branded rom. But in theory, stock international roms should use wifi if connected, otherwise use data. Some roms don't allow wifi to be used for tethering (cellular data only)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ronfurro:
Brendo is right. Stock roms often have wifi tethering via bluetooth enabled and can switch back and forth as need. I have not experienced laser fast result with either but as you states "for your needs", look for a phone with native bluetooth tethering. One that works well and is cheap is the Galaxy Grand II. I have one and it worked well. I use a Note 2 now with native bluetooth tethering via Verizon and it works with 4G but not wifi. Maybe someone will chime in with an international rom that has this capability.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] wuxiekeji:
Interesting. I have a Nexus 4 (directly from Google), and I'm surprised that if this feature exists that the Nexus 4 doesn't offer it. You'd think it'd be in Google's best interest given Glass and all.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ronfurro:
This is very true as unfortunatly in the US, native BT tethering is often blocked via Carriers who want to charge for it. In theory, this shouldnt be an issue with the Nexus line, curious if the Nexus 5 can... I can confirm, first hand that the technology does exist for wifi bluetooth tethering but it may be that no US phone has this feature enabled, to date. It should be noted that my Galaxy Grand was an international model, specifically the Latin model, not the India model. I could acutually use the phone without a sim card to serve up bluetooth PAN via home wifi to my old Motoactiv Smartwatch while I was screwing around in the house.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Oyvindo:
Faster Tethering?

You should include som info about the make and model of your phone if you wish people to help you....

Anyway, both my GalaxyS3 and my iPhone4S can easily be used to share WiFi with my Gear over Bluetooth. But it doesn't increase the speed much as this is limited by the BT bandwith between the phone and the Gear. Typically max 3Mb/s
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] posedatull:
I've got an N9005 rooted (X-Note 13) bluetooth tethering my null 23 gear, and on 4G I actually get speeds up to 5MB/sec, yet the gear rarely goes above 50kb/sec, which, for me, is too low even for a vague browsing :(. I highly doubt anything carrier specific, I just think bluetooth is slow...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jinson7:
My contacts are in such a mess! I have them synced from google as well as the odd few from Exchange.

Google stopped syncing my contacts so I deleted the data from contacts storage which fixed that but now they are all merged or not existing.

I have removed google account and exchange but there are still contacts showing. I think these have been created internally from whatsapp which is annoying. Is there a way to delete all of these in bulk?

Or any other solutions to fix this?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikueltrasgu:
First write correctly the title, seriously how people will know what is it about...

Then you have to solutions:

1st: sync all accounts you have then go to contacts > contacts to show > custom > select the one you want.

2nd: (this is what i do usually)

export all contacts on the phone

Backup the export

Delete all google contacts, everything on phone etc

Import them back in google contacts (https://www.google.com/contacts/)

search for duplicate in google contacts

rename them correctly

do the same with Exchange

Sync

clean the mess

delete useless contacts (like the pizza you ordered 4 years ago)

set up groups (like "i never phone them but i keep them in memory", "work", "favorite"

and then do the first solution to select the categories you want to show

The first 4 points are optionnal and if you do them PLEASE take care and be sure you have a BACKUP if you mess up everything

This will get your contacts clean and they will merge with all the differents accounts (like exchange+google+google plus+whatsapp etc)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jinson7:
Thanks - that makes sense. The dialler still shows 2 contacts even though in people and google website it shows 1!

As for the title I've no idea what happened! I must have typed in a special character or something that removed my title! Apologies!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fauning:
First off, I'd like to say my S2 is the Virgin Mobile version (model i9210) so I'm not sure if it's okay for me to post this in this forum or not. Feel free to move it where it should be, I won't be offended.

Edit: Originally had posted this in the Samsung Galaxy S2 forum, but it was nicely moved to this forum in hopes that it would be seen more~ So to clarify, my phone is the Virgin Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2, running Android 4.1.2, model number SPH-D710.

The ROM I have is BiftorROM-V8-JB-XWLSN-NoWipe.

Onward. This is my first Samsung phone AND my first Galaxy, and when I decided to root my phone, I had no idea how much different it would be from my past phones. How I didn't completely brick this phone, is nothing short of a miracle. I had trouble with some ROMs so someone eventually linked me to a Sprint stock ROM, saying it was compatible with my phone.

Since then I've been using that ROM, despite having a Virgin Mobile phone, with no problem. Recently I noticed an app I use (SD Maid) was listing my phone as unrooted. It was weird but I ignored it, because the app still worked. Even later, I noticed other apps that require root access were not working correctly, so I decided to download a root checker.

Status: Unrooted

Well, then. I'm not sure how this happened, or what's going on, but I figured again, it was no big deal because my ROM was running perfectly and I had no desire to change my ROM or anything else soon. Last night my phone started acting completely different. Lagging like crazy, and when I tried to unlock my phone, it would take a good 15 seconds just for the screen to turn on and my lock screen to start functioning normally. Then another 20 seconds or so for the screen to register my touch and actually unlock my phone. I tried disabling all lockers, but my screen would just turn black and I would still have to wait.

A friend suggested that I simply go through the process of rooting as though my phone really were unrooted and just hope that fixes it, but I'm not sure if that would be a good idea. If my phone wasn't operating so slowly this wouldn't be as big of a problem, but it is, and I'm pretty afraid that I'll mess my phone up somehow.

I once found a forum with the topic the same as mine but I haven't been able to find it since, so I'm hoping someone here could point me in the right direction. Do I go through the root process, maybe try just reflashing my current ROM? I've also thought about just doing a system restore on my phone and see if that helps. Thanks in advance.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkfire43:
hi guys

I bought a htc one 802t china mobile variant rooted and boot-loader unlocked i got few questions i was unable to find answers

is it possible to cross flash a radio file of 802d or 802w to get access to HSDPA ?

do i need to do a special backup if i was to crossflash radio ? or just the usual nandriod backup in recovery is enough ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mb_guy:
You would need S-Off to flash a different radio, but is more likely the different hardware that is not getting HSDPA, so won't help.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkfire43:
yea i will get S-Off and try cross flash..any recommended precautions before doing that ?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Serinety:
I'm getting a note 12.2 today, (well very strongly considering it) after having to replace my 10.1 twice now for a screen problem. I use the spen extensively for college and I Flippin love it. I'm finding the 10.1 a little small for a true paper replacement so the 12.2 is looking pretty nice, being almost the size of an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper.

However I'm reading that as far as screen real estate goes, it's just scaled up from the 10.1 screen and offers no additional real estate. What are your opinions / experiences with this? I know the physically larger screen size will give me more writing room, but a higher dpi would be nice too. I love these tablets, the spen is great and incredibly useful. I'm hoping the 12.2 will make it that much better.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] rkirmeier:
I had the same complaint regarding DPI. Was disappointed everything was simply scaled up for the bigger screen. You'll have to root to change the DPI althought in theory if you write the same size it really shouldn't matter for your purpose.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Serinety:
I planned on rooting it anyway for some of the apps I use. I've never really played with DPI though. Has anyone here sucessfully changed the system DPI? How does that affect performance?

Just saw the post a little further down on dpi. NM :)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] rkirmeier:
Yes, plenty of people have changed the DPI. I did it with ROM toolbox as my root explorer kept crashing when I asked R/W on the system drive (I am rooted). I first used 270 then settled on 280. Does not effect performance...
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Serinety:
Well just got the 12.2. So far I like it a lot better than the 10.1. A lot snappier and the size is awesome lol.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] muzzy996:
I went with a build.prop edit to change lcd density globally at first and then had to switch back. NextIssue application was wonking out on me at any non-stock lcd density. The app would work fine but display of magazine pages would have large black stripes in them. What I do now is simply use app settings (xposed module) to do changes of dpi per application.

I'd say that if one changes global dpi they just need to be aware that if they see peculiar graphics behavior in an application then they may need to revert to stock density and verify it's not the dpi change that's causing it.

Probably the easier way if one doesn't want to go in per app for everything is to do a global change and then use per-app to revert particular uncooperative apps back to stock density.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Serinety:
So before i could even get a case for this thing , the screen is already broken. Less than 24 hours later lol. Was sitting on my couch, we have tile And hardwood flooring. Slipped of my lap and landed face down. I knew it was broken before it even picked it up. Kinda makes you sick to see a ~$1000 item broken like that. I'm using it to type this... but damn.. lol. Case is due to be delivered to tomrorrow.

Here's the thing that gets me though. I bought it at Frys electronics, I was told I had 15 Days to buy the extended warrenty. Turns out I dont. Not that it matters since they don't cover accidental damage. So I decide to get a hold of Samsung and buy their warrenty. I've had dells and HP's in the past and have usually purchased the total protection plans for cases like this. Nope.... Samsung doesn't offer an extended warrenty if you did not buy it directly from them. Even if they did give extended warranties on items not purchased on Samsung.com, they don't offer any accidental damage. ...

Am I the only one who thinks this is rediculous? I'm carrying around a 12 in sheet of glass , of course it's going to get broken, and there are no options for me to protect your investment?

Finally found square trade, 159 bucks for 3 years for accidental damage protection, hardware failure, etc. That's 50% less than Frys wanted for 2 years of just extended warranty. I bought a Dell laptop a few weeks ago, was about to buy the Dell total protection plan.. which is 300 bucks for 3 years. Square trade does it for 180 bucks for 3 years...

Ya.. I'll be using square trade from now on.

I've included a picture to make you cringe :)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] esgie:
I am sick on buying this one as I am very happy with my note10.1 2012.

And your story IS CREEPY. A nightmare.

Feel sorry for your loss

Well, i use to buy my insurance from accidents in external private insurance companies. It's about $50 for 2 years (as for $750 expensive N10.1/2012 at the time of its purchase, central european country), and they give you a new device or full price back if not available, even when broken accidentaly (well, once, insurers agent told me that I should BREAK my device myself in a time near insurance's end, so in the worst scenario i'll get completely new device and in the better one, i'll get whole price in cash, so I can buy myself a completely new - and more modern ofc - device).

Well, the second case is if you would arrive to insurers BEFORE your shocking accident ;) as you were blazing fast.

Btw as you saw the accident happening live, do you feel that its the tablet that is so easy to damage, and it gives you an impression of easy-breakable, or was it a damage that can be described as adequate to the impact? Or just bad luck, which always can happen by hitting in a critical point? ;)

And... Hope u get it fixed as cheap, as well and as quick as possible.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] rkirmeier:
Extended warranty is not insurance and trying to buy something to cover your tablet after you broke it is just wrong and technically insurance fraud. Don't be so careless with a $1000 item!

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] cardinalryan:
I have ZERO patience for the "morality police". Give me a freaking break...the guy was using the tablet in his lap and it inadvertently fell to the ground and shattered. You may be the high and mighty one who would just take it in stride, but 9 out of 10 people (whether it is technically right or not) would do what this guy did. Your persecution of him is laughable.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] enigma_x:
That is the reason I have a home insurance that covers errors I make myself.If I ever break my laptop, tablet or design lamp by accidentally, the insurance helps me to cover some expenses.

But... dropping that tablet to the floor from 50 cm or so and the screen looks like after the war, it makes me wonder the build quality - especially the screen quality. The screen, however, looks like it got hit to the two certain areas. The floor isn't "flat" or the tablet felt on something on the floor, that was causing high pressure to the screen (a point load).

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] rkirmeier:
Ah, whatever... Your a tool just like this guy! Careless and think you should be able to scam the system when you screw up. You are clear example of what is wrong with society! The fact that you say "weather it is technically right or not" just goes to show your low life standards. There simply is no questions of where it is right or not. The question is weather you have any integrity or not. Clearly you don't...
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] cardinalryan:
In my opinion, the problem with society is the overall lack of education. Go read what you wrote! That's worse than my 3rd grader's grammar correction assignment I helped him with last week.

I didn't say "weather it is", I said "WHETHER it is"! Also, there simply "ARE" no questions, not "is". Oh, one more thing, if you are going to insult someone, do it correctly...that's why YOU'RE the tool in this instance. I know that last one went over your head, ask someone to help you if you wish. Regards, my friend.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] rkirmeier:
Call me out on Grammer and typing skills cause I'm typing on a tablet and auto correction is kicking in if that I'd what makes you feel superior. I'd certainly rather have Grammer/typing issues then be a low life scum bag.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] esgie:
Buying insurance after the item had been broken might be considered a fraud - if you give the insurer not a true statement about the device state at the moment of signing the insurance agreement... BUT - there is no insurer which will agree in signing such an agreement without seeing the device itself. Even if someone would be so silly - he still has to write down the serial/IMEI/whatsoever of the device, so he must have a real physical contact with it. I think that discussing if it's moral or not is pointless, then.

My advice was more likely pointed at what can be done to avoid such an accidents in a future. It is obvious that in situation which happened in a discussed situation there is NO legal way to obtain a free repair/replacement...
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] rkirmeier:
How is it possible for a company like sqauretrade to physically hold/touch the device when you can purchase the agreement online?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] esgie:
I don't know, I don't even know what squaretrade is. I was talking about external insurance companies, not connected with the store which sold the device.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] rkirmeier:

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] esgie:
