[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plasmastate:
They S5 review by GSM arena, they did mention the smearing issue when brightness is set to low. Atleast it is noticeable in lower brightness.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leoaudio13:
True. All Amoled bahaves the same.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
It certainly wasn't noticeable on the S5 I used in the shop. As said above, at the very least it's considerably better than the S4.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leoaudio13:
Way better!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonkycom:
Hello, today i bought new s5 and tested in a dark room with video that shows "quick moving black objects" and the result is :

the s4 pink smearing is still affected on s5

the entire screen background is turned from s4 BLACK to s5 BLUE and that can help hide the smearing because no black color is showing(pixel off)

this may result more consumption of battery (i think) .

you can still notice the pink smearing when in dark room set screen bright to lowest, go to Phone Dial and fast pressing on the 3 dot icon (more) on top right under the Contacts icon > PINK PINK!! (because this background is black)

because this is the SUPER AMOPINKLED bring to you by SAMSUNG :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @rbiter:
I believe gsmarena and anandtech both mentioned smearing. Not a big big deal but I wish Samsung would do better.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrashTestDroid:
I'd take the S5's SAMOLED with smearing under extreme low light over any competing IPS with backlight bleed at all levels of backlight.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denski101:
A little something I found that helps greatly reduce the "purple" smearing:

1. Set your screen profile to Pro Photo or Movie(preferred).

& more importantly.

2. Download Lux from the Play store. Enable night mode and set the White Balance to Fluorescent.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Yep... My S5 and Note 3 have near-identical levels of smearing at the lowest brightness in the middle of the night in a dark room.

But if that's the price I pay for having a screen where black really is black (as opposed to dark grey) and doesn't use battery for black, I'll take AMOLED any day.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JmJ17:
Yes, it suffers in the same way.

It's a problem related to AMOLED technology. If you use a totally black screen, all points are off. When you move a line in this screen, the points must be switched on and the response time cause the problem.

The only solution is not using a totally black background. Use a DARK one, but not full black. This, for exapmple, is what Samsung have done in the setting screen. Try it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ableright:
So I'm trying to help a friend fix his G2. It's a VS 980 that uses 12b software (I have the kdz file downloaded) for this phone. The problem is I've looked at tutorials on this website and none of them have helped me thus far. With the LG Reflash tool they allow you to choose a USB driver for your device which goes up to VS910 but not vs980.

When you boot the device it just says fastboot mode started ubc.start() fastboot processing commands.

I believe my friend told me too that he removed basically everything from the phone to try and reflash the default stock ROM. What are the options what should I Do?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ableright:
It gets worse. So I've tried re-flashing the phone and I've gotten nowhere. No it's so bad that the phone won't turn on at all EVEN INTO FASTBOOT, but instead just has a red blinking light.

This is also unnerving since I have the same phone and I'm starting to think Verizon never wants you to restore this if there's ever a problem. Probably so they can get more money and bring your phone in and get an early upgrade.

Re: final solution to cid unlock wizard g4 chip spl/ipl *.00

hy

Search the forum for "lokiwiz " (sorry, i dont have the thread) v. 2b should be able to unlock the CID. There is also version 3 available but i guess any will do.

You have to be logged in to be able to download it.

Good luck

Re: final solution to cid unlock wizard g4 chip spl/ipl *.00

thank you very much. I have gone through if not all the threads about upgrading. I noticed that people who had the G4 chip had problems upgrading . and some people have also said that you cant unlock the cid of the G4 (spl/ipl with .001 at the end).

I am looking for how to acheive the unlocking of the cid, hence i will be able to do upgrades and downgrades as i wish.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] phone_one:
I think http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3000unlock.php is good & cheaper for cid unlock, as compare to other method. The JAxxx method will cost you around EURO 85 to buy the dongle & 1 unlock credit & you have to wait for the dongle to arrive.

If you just want flashing PDA into other language on G4 PDA, you can use update_utility_no_id , no need cid unlock. Search this xda-developers.com forum for the tool.

Even after CID unlock, Downgrade a g4 rom to a g3 rom, from my experience, the radio will not run properly. A G4 PDA can only use a G4 rom. A G3 PDA can use a G4 rom , because the G4 shipped rom has 2 IPL & SPL, will fit both e.g. 2.21 IPL & 2.21.0001 IPL
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mengesb:
Currently you are right - A G4 rom cannot be unlocked free via any software available on this site. If you truly want to unlock you're phone, you're going to have to pay.

That noted, you will always have to make sure that the ROM you're flashing will not replace your bootloader (which is a safe way to go anyway) or flash with a newer bootloader than what you have (which is the IPL/SPL 2.x). Do not ever go backwards (1.x bootloaders) because you will brick your device.

The only saving grace you can give an attempt to is the lokiwizMSL03a or lokiwiz03a programs by machinagod. I cannot confirm if these have or have not worked with a G4 chipset wizard.

Safe bet currently for G4 wizard owners - pay to get the thing unlocked; you won't brick your device.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] moyofalaye:
Ok so if i was to use the http://www.imei-check.co.uk/m3000unlock.php to cid unlock the g4 wizard, i wont need to worry about what rom im flashing, i wont need to worry about the spl/ipl ? So basically your saying all the flexibility of the G3 will be available for the G4 ?

Thanks again to everyone.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kyphur:
Wrong.....

The Custom "Cooked" Roms on this site only contain the IPL/SPL for G3 as that is the most common chip.

Also 1.x Roms have no G4 bootloaders.

Even CID unlocked you will be limited to "Official" Roms or "Cooked" Roms either missing Bootloader or specifically with G4 Bootloader.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] moyofalaye:
thanks that clears up alot of questions, one more thing i need to know, cause i have started working on the wiki. the G4 and the G3 versions, are they limited only to the tmobile vario or all types of wizards. ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mlts22:
It can be any descendant of the Wizard from what I hear, either a model 100 or 200, be it a Cingular 8125, or a T-Mobile MDA. Always check your SPLs before flashing. The phone you save just may be your own.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] risidoro:
Why pay for something you can have: free, better, safer???

Don't CID unlock your device, it's a waste of time and money. The best solution is, IMHO, to remove the IPL/SPL parts from the ROM you want to install: it'll take you only 2 minutes! This solution is also better than CID unlocking in three aspects:

- It's free. No need to comment on this :)

- It's better: in a CID unlocked G4 phone, you cannot install the home-made ROMs you find in this forum (like summitter's ones or MrClean). If you cook your own ROM, on the contrary, you can install whichever 2.x ROM you like

- It's safer: if you correctly remove the IPL and SPL parts from the ROM you want to install, the event of a major damage (bricking) is highly unlikely. Even if your PC crashes or there's a power outage in the middle of the upgrade you will still be able to boot your device and to repeat the upgrade!

To remove IPL/SPL from a ROM of your choice, you can follow this tutorial i wrote: http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=56088

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Johnnnnnnnnnny:
Cool. It is exactly that, what I wont know !!

So Can I cook my own ROM for G4 and G3 device (I have Extension ROM and Splash screen). It is be sufficient translate the ROM in "nb2nbf_tornado.exe"?

For example aku 3.2 Os and my own Extended ROM and Splash Screen.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] risidoro:
Yes!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Johnnnnnnnnnny:
Cool 2: :lol:

So I will make that ROM when I will have my device again. Perhaps I will share it if will work done

Need I the file enterbootloader.exe if I dont want to flash IPL/SPL ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] risidoro:

Can you just explain to the OP how you installed it... I'm on custom ROM so dont have these issues and i'm using superuser not superSU.

and where is the superuser.apk? i'm assuming in your case it would be under /data/app as opposed to /system/app, is that correct?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amaku:
It's stuck. No matter what I press, it just says "Recovery booting.... Recovery is not seandroid enforcing. Set Warranty Bit: recovery"

First I used that rom download manager for clockwork recovery, then I downloaded the quick boot app and selected recovery, now I'm stuck like this and I can't do anything.

Did I ruin my phone? I can't afford another one and since I rooted it, the warranty is void. Please help me!

To clarify, I can't access the recovery mode or the download mode. I can't flash anything. All that happens when I turn on my phone regardless of what I press just shows the samsung logo and then says recover booting recovery si not seandroid enforcing set warranty bit recovery.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteKernel:
How did you do it? I've got the same problem!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
Take battery out and put back in but don't press power. If you want to boot to recovery;

Press Vol Up + Power + Home Button all at the same time until you see the blue letters on top left corner saying " Recovery Booting " then let go of the buttons.

If you want to bootup in download mode instead;

Press Vol Down + Power + Home Button all at the same time until the Warning Notice appears then let go of the buttons then press Vol Up.

None of these might work depending on what you did with your phone, for example you flashed a custom recovery for 4.3 when you have a 4.4.2 bootloader. In this case, you will not be able to boot up to recovery but only in download mode.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AldrichDSaints:

If you only had it one day is RMA an option? Otherwise your looking at a new motherboard. Does anything happen when you plug it into a PC any noise or connection? Usually corrupted nand will turn on but will bootloop and any attempt to flash will fail. You may be stuck in apx mode with a corrupted bootloader but either way it sounds like your up a creek.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neutrondev:
The boot.img (i think you are talking about a kernel image) is independent from recovery.img (your image). If you flash a bad kernel for your device it will stuck on bootloop but you can access download mode/emergency/recovery etc. There is no problem is you mess up your kernel the flashing command from fastboot is usually : fastboot flash boot boot.img (you must have the boot.img in the same folder as fastboot).

So here it goes..

I was using Nokia 3110c i had locked the memory card with a password.. It is 2GB..

Password given to the memory card could be used in the same phone through which password was set and inserting it into other phone wont be able to detect it or use it..

Like ex: If i set a password to my card on Nokia 3110 it will detect only in nokia phone..

I used the card reader to format it didnt work.

Thought card might be corrupted when i put in nokia 5800 xpressmusic and connected to PC it mounted and show the partition size and was able to transfer files.

I can take to service center they will fix it. They will take 100 bucks just for formatting..

hi guys one question about the openDelta app: it seems to me that BEFORE starting the real download/update, I can't see anywhere how many MB the app will have to download in total.. is that really a missing info?

because it would be a very useful info to know before to start the update, especially if you are going to update over 3G and not over wi-fi!

only way to understand how many MB it downloaded was to go to settings > data usage and check openDelta app.. but that can be done only at the end of the process of course with update already done.. and btw, is that info really reliable?
