[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayneism:
So my phone is no longer being recognized as a USB device by my computer. Whenever I plug my phone in, I don't see the USB storage option on the top of my phone, nor will my computer even acknowledge that it's been plugged in. This issue has never happened to me before, and it only started acting up just last night. It isn't an issue with the computer OR the cable; I've tried with many different PCs and cables, both third party and official, and I'm getting the same problem. I don't think it's an issue with a broken microusb port, either, since it still charges. Interestingly enough,the computer WILL notice that something has been inserted when I plug it in... if the phone is off. However, the phone only shows up as an unknown device. Also, when I check the battery status, it almost always says that I'm charging via AC even though I'm using USB.

After exploring the forum, I've discovered and tried using *#7284#, but the code refuses to work. (I also tried other codes just to see HOW they work, and none of them will register on my phone.)

I'm currently running CM 7.1, and my phone is rooted. I haven't changed the ROM ever since I started using it, which was about a good year or so ago, and I seldom do any sort of flashing, so I highly doubt it's related to that.

Any suggestions? I thought it might be a dirty microusb port, since I've also been getting the random Car Mode popups as of late, but after cleaning it out, nothing seems to have changed.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moku160:
So the title pretty much says it all. My battery is low so I cannot flash anything, and the Japanese version of this phone doesnt have a fastboot "menu" as far as I can see.

As soon as the screen comes on this is what is shown

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AP Fasboot Flash Mode(S)

10.9B(#) (sha057e56b, 2012-11-14 14:18:59)

eMMC Info: Size 8GB

Device is UNLOCKED, Status Code:3

Battery Low

Transfer Mode:

USB Connected

Fastboot Reason: Sticky bit factory_reset

usb connected

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I found that keeping the power button depressed keeps it from going into fastboot and it appears that the phone is off, but the LED light stays green and even after 8 hours hasnt charged a bit.,,, so that was obviously a fail.

Can anyone give me some tips?

Thanks in advance

why only few roms have implented pie? i think is very usefull but roms like omni and cyanogenmod don't have it

and why there isn't anyone that build them with pie incorporated?

these are only question , i don't want anything , i'm only curios.

PS. sorry for my bad english
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tykate:
With Xposed and GravityBox you can use PIE. This is a good thing because developers give users that option.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeckoo:
thanks for the answer

i know that but in my opinion have it integrated in the rom make that more fluid and also you have the ability to use art

Hey guys has anyone seen where t purchase the genuine wireless charging back as shown here?

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EP-CG900IBUSTA

I don't want the S-View wireless charging option but just the back. Seems like all the accessories are in VERY short supply. Why doesn't Samsung have everything ready to go at launch? Seems it would hurt themselves to not have accessories to sell with the phones.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] eyecon82:
I've seen them at T-Mobile stores
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] jrburkh:
They have it listed on Amazon.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] bnathan:
Amazon has it listed as shipping in 1 to 3 months. :(
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] robstunner:
Register your phone on samsung.com and you can get a 50% off coupon. Then just wait for it to come in stock on samsungs website and get it for.... half off!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] bnathan:
That's only in America :(
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] socalwrxx:
Im pleasantly surprised, based off the photo's of the wireless cover that it is not as thick as the S4 wireless charging cover.

This means we should be able to use any case available:good:
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] nba1341:
I was wondering this too

I hope thats the case
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] eyecon82:
Photos won't show the difference. It's only a millimeter or 2 of a difference
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] jpmcnown:
50% off any mobile accessory under $50

. The s-View wireless charging cover is $70.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] robstunner:
Correct. The normal wireless charging back is $40 msrp.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] jpmcnown:
Ah, though I had to find it through a convoluted Google search, here it is on their site for $30. totally getting it for $15 with the 50% off coupon now. thanks!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] tdrussell:
According to my calipers 1 mm would remove the camera hump, so if the pictures are accurate, the wireless back is not thicker or not appreciably thicker.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Onyok:
I've already got the coupon codes but by the time Samsung would get their stocks ready the coupons might have been expired already...
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] robstunner:

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] btort1:
Does it say the expiration date or last day to use it? How long do I have to register?

when do you get an email for the 50% off coupon?, didn't see it anywhere when I registered

wow..and you would think the 2nd gen would be better...i guess not

my 1st gen samsung pad charges all the way to 100% and i wake up in the morning to 100%, and no flashing annoying bright lights....just 1 green LED that isn't that bright to let you know you put it on the pad correctly
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] simacca:
Thin I will give that one a miss then.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] mtown_cyclone:
I have the new, smaller one and this is how mine works. Haven't had any issues. I'm using the wireless charging s-view flip cover though.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] simacca:
Do you think maybe there is a problem with the charging cover and not the pad? Just a thought.

Qi charging logic is different than plug in

Charging to 100%, dropping to around 90%, then charging again seems to be Android logic and have nothing to do with qi charger or charger cover. See related thread http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/help/qi-charger-question-t2286298 Apparently it protects the battery.

I can confirm this is the case on the GS4 with unofficial charging insert with Nokia DT 900 and Nexus 7 2013 with DT 900.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] eyecon82:
That logic doesn't work out because my phone doesn't do that with the S-View wireless cover and the first Gen samsung pad

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] gavinfabl:
Ok, so I went to bed at midnight. It's 5.07am. Phone got charged to 100%. Then stayed there for a while. Then the samsung wireless pad started to flash orange which meant it had stopped charging. The battery is at 86%.

So based on everyone's comments, is it just the wireless pad having a stupid system whereby it doesn't come back on once the battery level lowers again, or have I got a faulty wireless back cover?

What's everyone's view?

Ah - just read the post that was linked above. So it seems the wireless pad is ok, just doesn't restart. Which probably means by wireless back cover is ok.

What I might do is change the Samsung pad for a Zens single pad. I prefer that design too and at least I won't have a depleted battery in the morning.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] big samm:
I still have the old samsung wireless pad was using it with my GS4 and the battery would always be at 99 or 100%... Same thing for my nexus 4...It might be new system on the new charger... I will test as soon as my local store gets the wireless back cover for the GS5!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] eyecon82:
Yep, same here with the old samsung pad

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] lowandbehold:
I think you should be less concerned with the charger and more concerned with the fact that your battery is draining 14% when not being used.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Acaibowl:
I have a Note 3 with original wireless back cover, a TYLT wireless pad and a no brand wireless pad.

When I use TYLT, every time my phone get charged to 100% it vibrates and turns on the display in the middle of the night. It's a behaviour very documented by other users.

When I use the no brand wireless pad my phones charges to 100% and stays quiet. No vibration, no nothing.

So I think it has definitely something to do with the charger.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] delawaredrew:
No problems with the Lugulake charger from Amazon. The darn green and red LEDs are bright on the white one I have though. Not using the official charging back however.

All my devices are in wallet style cases with screen covers right now but I have never noticed them awake and always are charged 100% and dark when I get them.

Final update on the official Samsung Qi implementation. Samsung should be shot.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] eyecon82:
I'm not sure if you are blaming the phone or the wireless pad?

Like I said, I have the older samsung wireless pad and it keeps my battery at 100 percent

Having it a little warm is always going to happen with wireless charging. All of my devices did that including the nexus 7, where it is actually built in

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] gavinfabl:
Samsung and the S5.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] mtown_cyclone:
I have the new, smaller Samsung pad and s-view wireless cover. They work fine. I wake up to 100% charge and the phone is not hot. I think you have something installed on your phone that is causing your issues.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] gavinfabl:
S-View cover is different to just the back cover.. so we have different items. Also, does your combo start charging again when the battery drops to either 90 or 95%? There are 2 points here.

It could be the s-view case works differently to the back cover. Then there is the implementation. I have used Qi charging with a number of phones and they all have reached 100%, stoppped charging and recommenced when the battery droppped down to 95%. Samsung based on my experience does not have the necessary bits to allow for the battery to recommence. This was confirmed by Zens who specialise is Qi.

It will be interesting to see if the S-View cover is different..
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] mtown_cyclone:
Don't get me wrong. I'm not defending Samsung by any means. This whole wireless charging thing has been a fiasco for the S5. Maybe this is why the wireless back cover hasn't been released yet in the US but the S-View cover has?

But, I'd be more concerned with why my phone battery drops 5-10% while sitting idle.

S5 Charging

I agree - I love Samsung and their products, have been a fan for a very long time. But, recently things are a bit off and I am not sure why...
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] gavinfabl:
Just an update - battery drain I was suffering was down to a weather widget and google location services on high.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] mtown_cyclone:
Something I just noticed while testing a cheap, wireless card I bought on Amazon... When my phone is on the pad and reaches 100% the green light does not switch to orange or go off. It stays green. This happens for my S-View back and this new card under the regular back.

BTW - this card seems to work pretty good, so far. Although it seems to be out of stock right now I received it in less than a week after ordering. I also just saw the one comment that it makes the phone really hot so I'll have to see how mine reacts.

Verizon S-View and OEM charger

Not sure if this is the place to post this, and I apologize if not.

For those of you who are Verizon Samsung S5 customers, the Verizon site is having what appears to be an unadvertised sale on the Samsung OEM wireless Qi Charger and the Samsung Galaxy S5 S-View Wireless Charging Flip Cover.

If you put both in the Verizon cart, the total for both comes out to $79.

There's free overnight shipping as well.

Though I did have to pay approximately $5.00 in taxes. My total was $84-something.

I ordered it three hours ago, and it is already on its way to me.

Thought some of you might like to know.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Ignite023:
Anyone been able to find the wireless back cover in the US yet?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] joderme:
Only the s-view one. I am waiting for the wireless non-s-view cover - it can't come fast enough.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Ignite023:
Yeah, that's the one I'm waiting for too.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] eyecon82:
Why the blame on the s5? It's your phone specifically or some rogue app.

Works fine on my s5 with old pad

Yep. My first Gen samsung wireless pad just stays green, indicating you placed it correctly on the pad. No blinking lights here

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] simacca:
My black samsung wireless back cover is now preparing for dispatch (amazon uk), but I haven't ordered a charging pad yet. Shall I order the s5 charging pad,or the one for the s4, which is slightly cheaper, but is a better size?

After reading gavinfabl experiences I am more tempted to try out the s4 charging pad.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] open1your1eyes0:
The US stock status of this back cover is absolutely ridiculous how bad it is. MobileFun must have given a new ETA almost 4-5 times already and they change it the following day after the day arrives.

I'm debating ordering from Amazon UK to get shipped to US as it will likely arrive far before we get any stock over here.

What do you guys think?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] delawaredrew:
I'm not using the official wireless back or the official charger but my S5 is always at 100% after either wireless or wired charging; our M8 with add-on Qi and my Nexus 7 do the same. It doesn't start and stop charging; it keeps it at 100%. None get particularly hot even after 8 hours on the Qi.

As a side note; Lithium Ion batteries cannot overcharge, used as designed they must have internal regulation. The battery itself will not accept more than it should no matter what the charging source.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Acaibowl:
It always comes first from Verizon. I don't know why. I bought the wireless back cover for my Note 3 from the Verizon online store.

Something I didn't expect is the wireless charging back is heavier and more ridged than the original. It does make the phone feel a little bigger.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] simacca:
When you say rigid, do you mean that it hasn't got that nice soft touch feel? Also what colour have you got?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Airax:
I got the black one. The finish on the outside is the same, but the actual batter cover isn't as "flexible" as the original. I guess its due to it being thicker and having metal in there.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] simacca:
Oh ok. Does it creak at all when squeezed slightly and does it feel hollow? Am hoping I won't be too disappointed ?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Airax:
No creaking, doesn't feel hollow. I think its too thin to feel "Hollow. It actually feels quite solid, it does flex a little if you press really really hard.

Oddly enough came with a massive manual (mostly multi-lingual). Not sure it was really needed...
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] AMoosa:
Apparently there's a magnet in there too.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] sw25:

Athough the quality is there, its made in vietnam now, unlike the previous one's thats made from korea. Just like the S4 and note 3, it's very solid built, the coil and pcb is sandwiched in between two layers of plastic, in fact it's harder to remover from the phone as it does not flex.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] All4Sky:
Where is this samsung store? Im guessing its outside of the USA? I can't believe how long its taking to get the official charging back here. I'm using the sview charging back but dont really like it.

Yeh, it out of USA, Hong Kong has 5 official stores.

They have it as a set, just the charging cover or just the charging base.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] uberNoobZA:
In UK, it seems a lot of suppliers have them (MobileFun.co.uk does) listed, but no-one has them in stock. I was able to find one supplier on Amazon that stocked it and I just ordered the last one. I wanted to see if this has same issue with NFC and wireless charging as the third party wireeless receiver I got (i.e. NFC works when not actually charging wirelessly, but does not work when receiving wireless charging signal).
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
with this official cover you can charge and use NFC at the same time, i have just tested it and confirmed it works.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] uberNoobZA:
So, if the phone is unlocked, you place it on wireless charger and then unlock, NFC will read the NFC tag ?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
I placed a tag underneath it whiles charging and it reads the tags details.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] simacca:
What sort of things would you have programmed into the nfc tag stuck to the charger? Just curious for some ideas when my kit turns up.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kms108:
I have nothing in the tag, it's empty, it just read the tag id and details, including size etc, I have no use for these tags, but it happens that a have a few lying around.:fingers-crossed:

i'm not really interested in the NFC, only got the kit a few hours ago, and i'm more concerned about the performance, and upto now i'm pleased with it, especially the transmitter.

For an idea - check my review of a wireless charging car dock

Announce product on February 28, release it over a month later on April 11th. Over a month later, consumers are still waiting for official accessories that are required to enable certain functions of the device, wireless charging, and maintain the IP67 rating.

Really pretty ridiculous.

You just described samsung. Yes at their best.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Zylograth:
I ordered 3 Qi receivers for the S5 to test with. So far I am getting the best results with the Itian card.

Which one is this you're talking about? I've chopped mine up, one of the blue one from China with the copper coil.

But I've seen they have flat electronically printed coils/receivers that I've yet to research any availability for our phone. Anyone know about these?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] simacca:
Finally received mine from Amazon UK. Just have to wait for the charging pad to arrive tomorrow now.

Adds quite a bit of bulk to the back of the phone, although it does make the phone easier to hold. You can feel the weight difference too, and the Samsung logo is now printed on instead of the nice metallic logo on the original back cover. On a positive note the camera lens slightly sinks into the back rather than protruding :)

The set for the S4 is $100, I can't see this kit being anywhere near $50 if it shows up in the US at all. The two components are $50 pad and $30 back, so I bet they price it at $70 minimum. I sure would like a $50 price tag, but doubtful.
