[solved] phone not flashing recovery after odin reset

Thanks to mistertac for finding the link he did for I had not seen it in the research I frantically looked through to find the solution to my problem. :victory:

If anyone has issues with flashing a custom recovery after a full Odin, I have found through experience that it is unnerving and frustrating.

DO NOT FREAK OUT!!!!! Try your usual steps again. If it does not work, try flashify. Find on Google play. I am not responsible for any actions you do to your device but it worked for me the first time. Now I am again on my favorite ROM running as if nothing ever happened. Took 3 days and sweating bullets but it worked.

I hope this experience doesn't have to be repeated so learn from my experience.

hi

i updated my note 3 to 4.4.2 about a week ago and just found out that my bluetooth isn't working;;

can't turn it on.

is there anyway to fix this?

wow this 4.4.2 patch is really annoying cuz i couldn't write my sd card until fixing with sd card fix

does sd card fix can screw bluetooth?

is there any way to fix this?

thanks~

Try this. Turn on the headset and keep pressing 3 seconds after it turn on. This will put in pairing mode and your note 3 will detect it, see the video below.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Rambler76:
Hi,

I'm looking at purchasing some monoprice premimum mico usb charging cables but before I spring AUD$26 for shipping plus cables, I'd like to know what sort of charge people that people are getting in mA .

I know the N5 charger maxes out at 1.2A and the N5 is limited to 1.65A itself, however I'd like to know if anyone is getting between these two figures by using a monoprice cable.

I'm getting the following using CurrentWidget

Stock N5 charger and cable - 1,012mA

HP Touchpad charger (5.3V/2A) and cable - 1,015mA

Apple 10W charger (5.1V/2.1A) and 28AWG/2C cable - 930mA

It would be great if people could post what charger they are using with the monoprice premium cable together with the mA they are getting with their N5.

Also, if your using another type of cable that allows for charging between 1.2A and 1.65A that would be great too.

Thanks

I ordered some of the 6ft premium usb cables ,will let you know when i get them. My original usb cable that came with the phone has a bad connection wobbles. Using Battery Monitor Widget the highest i got was

980mA - OEM Nexus charger and cable. Charging from 60%, will test more when battery depletes.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Rambler76:
Thanks for the offer to test the monoprice cables and report back.

In the interim I've ordered some Motorola Ecomoto cables which from a video review on xda showed a charge of around 1,480mA on a N5 using current widget. I'll also report back once I get these.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jrbalazo:
Was looking to try either Ecomoto or the Monoprice premium cables. Looking forward to hearing both your opinions on them.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Native89:
I have the 6ft Premium cables and did a quick comparison using Battery Monitor Widget suggested above. Both screenshots are using the OEM wall wart and at ~80% battery.

OEM Cable

MonoPrice Cable

Not much of a difference, but a more thorough comparison might show a bigger difference. I'll leave that to the others in the thread.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Rambler76:
Thanks Native89.

I heard the best time to do a test is when the battery is between 20% and 70%.

Try that and see if you get better results
[Nexus 5 Accessories] raptir:
I have the 6ft Premium Cable from Monoprice and I see up to 1050 mA using the stock charger.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Rambler76:
raptir, that doesnt seem to be good news.

Are there any markings on the cable to tell whether it has 28AWG/2C or 24AWG/2C power conductors?

From what I've read it appears that you need 24AWG/2C power conductors to be able to handle charging above the 1,000mA mark.

I'm still waiting on delivery of the Motorola Ecomoto cables, but for those who are interested I purchased them from this US based seller on ebay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/360885775315?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

I also purchased this cable from another ebay seller http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/111292267460?var=410287001944&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649. The cable states it supports a 2.1A fast charge and the cross section in the ebay listing shows 24AWG/2C power conductors, so it looks promising.

Its going to be a few weeks until I get these cables and provide a review, so please subscribe to this thread to get updates when I do.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Bumchakalaka:
I get around 850mA~1,050mA depending on the % i plug the phone into charging.

And i got this one http://amazon.com/gp/product/B003L18S0E/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[Nexus 5 Accessories] raptir:
If it's "not good news" then it's bad news about the charger, not the cable. You said you get slightly less from your stock cable with the stock charger. A 1.2A charger is never going to actually give you 1.2A charging speed. They're just not 100% efficient.

Edit: Fast charging is also not the best thing for your battery, and that's why they don't just ship every phone with a 2A charger and let you have at it. A higher charging rate leads to increased battery degradation.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dave2metz:
Mmmm... Not sure about that... Battery damage?

NEXUS 5
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Rambler76:
Do you have another charger perhaps a 2A one to test the cable with so that we can confirm that it definitely isn't the cable.

I know that the stock charger is limited to 1.2A so even if the charger is 80% efficient you'd be getting just below a 1A charge which probably explains why everyone using a stock charger is getting this.

I don't quite agree with the battery degradation due to fast charges. I've always been of the opinion that it has to do with chargers that have a higher voltage spec, eg higher than 5V rather than the amps they're pushing out.

For instance the 1A Apple charger has been measured to provide a current of 1.79A and the 2A charger provides 3.4A

I really haven't come across any that are way over 5V in my time. Seeing that Apple's 2A charger uses 5.1V and the HP Touchpad charger which is one of the best chargers out there uses 5.3V, I don't think that any of these would be causing accelerated degradation or damage to the battery.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Noriega813:
I've had the monoprice cables for over 5 months and they charge fast and great, one problem is that the tips start separating from and you can start seeing the inside. It'll still charged fast and without problems, I have 2 in my car and 4 in my house only 2 don't have this problem. Overall these cables charge fast partnered up with my HP touchpad and nexus 7 chargers.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Rambler76:
Thanks Noriega813.

Any chance of a test with the cable and the HP touchpad charger using CurrentWidget?

I dont know which N7 charger you have but I do note that the 2013 edition is rated at 1.35A so you be limited to about 1A with it. The 2012 edition should be OK as that outputs 2A.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Noriega813:
Sure, soon as I get home I'll test it out. I have two of them and post results of both to show how they're doing.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Rambler76:
Cheers. Thanks for the help.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tmagritte:
I have the monoprice 3 and 6 foot premium cables. I've also got an inline USB current meter so I can test current directly.

According to an email from monoprice they are 28 gauge. I also got some 24 gauge monoprice USB extension cables (3 foot) that i planned to use with some adapters.

For testing I used a 2A Samsung power adapter (belonging to the Note 10.1 tablet) and either my Nexus 5 or my Samsung Note 10.1 tablet. The Note 10.1 when around 50% charge pulls slightly under 1.7A from it's own charger using the OEM cable. I have an adapter to allow me to charge the Note 10.1 using any micro USB cable so it's a better test for the cable as it pulls more current than the Nexus 5. The Nexus 5 with a good cable pulls under 1.3A from the 2A charger.

Interestingly, I had no problem getting full current (up to 1.7A) from any of the Monoprice premium USB cables. I've read good reviews of these cables but was a little skeptical since they are 28 gauge but they do seem to work well for fast charging. I don't have a device that pulls more than 1.7A so I can't test its limits.

In contrast, when I add the 24 gauge extension (3 foot with a 3 foot cable so the total length is the same as a single 6 foot premium cable) I can't get any higher than 1A. I don't understand why it's so limited. I've used a number of additional adapter on the end such as a right angle adapter or the micro usb to Samsung connector without any noticeable loss in current. So either there is something wrong with monoprice's 24 gauge cables or they are using some seriously bad connectors.

I haven't had the premium cables for very long but have been using them happily in the car (3 foot) and at home (6 foot) for when I need to charge while using the phone (otherwise I use a Qi wireless charger). The connectors at the phone end could be a little slimmer - they do fit all the cases I've tried but it's a bit tight for some of them. The fact that the cables aren't too thick is nice for storage and flexibility. Only time will tell how durable they are.

I also have some older monoprice standard 26 gauge USB cables which also seem to be limited to 1A. (Correction: these are 28AWG not 26/28)

I've got some Startech right-angled USB cables which are convenient for my car due to the right angle but can't support currents above 500 mA. These are 30 gauge cables.

In summary:

1. The cable's gauge doesn't tell the whole story.

2. Monoprice premium USB cables do seem to be a good buy.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] raptir:
Charging voltage determines that final charge capacity. And yes, overcharging the battery does cause additional degradation. So does keeping the battery in too warm an environment. And charging speed. And discharging speed. And percent charge during storage. It's not just a single factor.

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 PM ----------

My guess it that they didn't give you the whole story on the cable gauge. The data lines are always 28 gauge, only the power lines are 24 vs 28.

That said, a 28 AWG wire can carry 2A without too much of an issue. Your only problem is going to be an increased voltage drop which may lead to incomplete charging of your battery.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ACHILLES R32:
I finally received the USB cables from monoprice, shipping was slow took over a week. Here are the results I got with Battery Monitor Widget.

Stock USB Cable 90% charge.

922mA

927mA

953mA

919mA

930mA

Monoprice 6" Premium USB Cable 90% charge.

873mA

710mA

805mA

714mA

863mA

This was just a quick comparison, will do another comparison when the battery discharges more. I'm not sure how accurate the battery monitor apps are. For most accurate results we probably need one of theses USB Volt Meters.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] JCreazy:
I am curious if the differences have to do with length of cable. 6 feet is a long way to travel.

avoid the cheap monoprice

I've had good durability with the premium monoprice mirco usb cables. The cheaper ones at monoprice only lasted a month or so because the micro usb tips would get loose. Thanks to you guys who are testing the amperages!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] raptir:
Yeah, the non-premium Monoprice cables do come loose quickly. Monoprice will replace them free of charge for life if you run into that, though.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ACHILLES R32:
I'd received my usb volt meter did a quick test using both usb cables here is what i got. Keep in mind that this was a quick test and that my battery was close to fully charged. I will do a more thorough test another day.

Stock USB Cable 94% charge.

890mA

870mA

800mA

800mA

810mA

Average: 834mA

Monoprice 6" Premium USB Cable 95% charge.

860mA

930mA

790mA

780mA

750mA

Average: 822mA

Also the battery monitor app i have used in my previous test is somewhat inaccurate.

USB Volt meter : 1010mA , 920mA

Battery Widget Monitor 837mA, 773mA
[Nexus 5 Accessories] goofball2k:
ordered some 1.5ft cables, and a 3ft cable. Will see if it helps with charging, both direct connected and using a qi charger.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jon8RFC:
TLDR;

You can't make apples-to-apples comparisons using Battery Monitor Widget Pro, because it only shows net charge/discharge, not gross. The person running 5 games, torrents, and streaming music will show much different "charge rates" than the person running Cyanogenmod and no apps.

I was searching for Nexus 5 charge rates and happened upon this thread. I wanted to inform you all, if you weren't already aware, of the poor/misleading report rate of Battery Monitor Widget Pro. It shows

net

charge, not gross charge, which is what's important. It's important because the net charge is based upon what your phone is doing--what apps are running in the background, wifi antenna on, radio on, etc. It also seems inaccurate because the polling report rate is not frequent, at all. I've been using this app since June or July of last year on my S4, and I've found only two programs (which may or may not work for the Nexus 5) which genuinely show the gross charge rate. It's important to know the gross charge rate, because that's what you're getting from your charger, whereas Battery Monitor Widget Pro tells you if you'll be losing 200mah running a lot of apps in the background if you plug into a USB 2.0 port on an old computer, or even a 1.0/1.1 port. Give it a shot, and you will NOT see that on your computer, you're receiving anywhere near 500ma (realistically, it would be in the 400s), but my estimate is you'll see +100 or +200 (if you're lucky), and I can guarantee you that USB 2.0 ports are not putting out just 1-200ma.

The gross charge rate apps I mentioned (only apples-to-apples apps I've found), which work on my S4 are:

Hi everyone,

I'm kind of manipulating the pim.vol file, and when I copy one over the original, and the try to modifie it (using the any api), I can see that the file used by pocket outlook is not the one I just copied.

One easy solution is to soft reset the pocket pc, and then pocket outlook read the new pim.vol, but this is kind of boring.

So my question is : does any one know how to tell to pocket outlook to reload its pim.vol file with having to soft-reset.

P.S : I've already tried to kill the poutlook process, but then everything is going so unstable that I don't think this is the way.
