[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itm:
Over the last few days I've had problems with extreme lag on my I9505, and several cases where the screen is completely unresponsive. Pressing the hard buttons (power/home) generally gets a response, but tapping on the screen doesn't. Only a cold reboot fixes it. What's the best way of diagnosing this?

I'm running Phoenix ROM v7.3 (which is based on stock Android 4.3).

Hi,

i have updated my htc explorer to kitkat 4.4.2, i am unable to restore my sms back. i have used smsback &restore. when i am restoring it is completing successful with out any error. but i am unable to see any message in messaging. Can any 1 help me how to restore my sms.

Thanks

coolpen
[General Questions and Answers] coolpen:
solution

I am writing this as it may help some one. when you have installed kitkat you will be unable to restore sms back by using sms backup and restore software. we need to download app (app ops) from playstore and go to messaging tab and modify the permission for write sms/mms and restore your sms. all your message will get restore.

Thanks

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sherro:
Hey all,

So I got a new S5 today upgrading from a 3.

Everything was all good, rooted, downloaded titanium backup and I believe accidentally restored something from my old s3. Anyway, after a reboot. the phone starts into touchwiz for a few seconds then reboots mentioning acore has crashed.

I have tried flashing CWM but it does not seem to go into its recovery, instead staying in the stock download mode.

ANY help would be much appreciated, I've downloaded the stock UK O2 firmware from sammobile but i'm lost on what to do next/
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idtheftvictim:
Couple of options:

1. You can use your recovery (CWM or Stock) to wipe Data (factory reset). That will start you off as if you just got the phone again.

2. You can ODIN the stock firmware you downloaded. Load up Odin, put the file in the AP spot, and click start. DO NOT UNPLUG THE PHONE UNTIL IT IS FINISHED
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sherro:
Okay so if i boot into stock recovery, how do I factory reset?

Also what AP spot in Odin? I usually use PDA for the stock firmware.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sherro:
Alright so I figured out I can flash TWRP if I flash that but I cant boot into CWM if I flash that,

In TWRP I have factory reset.

If I now try and flash the stock firmware it automatically auth fails.. :9
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idtheftvictim:
Do a factory reset in TWRP then...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sherro:
**** 2654342

I have but now if I try and start it normally it just hangs on the galaxy S5 screen.

If I try and flash the stock firmware from sammobile using odin as an administrator it fails with (auth)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sherro:
Okay so I'm actually lost.. No matter what I do in Odin I just get <ID:0/006> FAIL! (Auth)

If I try and install the OS using TWRP I get:

updating partition details...

E: Unable to mount '/usbstorage'
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sherro:
I've now got PhilZ touch on there.

Wiped data/factory reset, try to install zip from SD card and it just goes:

Installing update...

Installation aborted.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sherro:
Okay so I can flash any recovery I want with ease. Just can't seem to install any firmware from sammobile :/

So completely confused.

In Odin I get this:

<ID:0/004> aboot.mbn

<ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!!

<ID:0/004> FAIL! (Auth)

and in download mode it says:

Should I wait for a pit file and try that?

[Galaxy S III Accessories] panina:
Hello community.

I've recently replaced the glass on my SIII, and is a tad worried.

I replaced the glass only, not LED & digitizer, and it mainly works fine.

However, the new glass touches the middle of the digitizer. From time to time, it will also register as a touch, messing with the usability. When this happends, I have to turn the screen on & off again, and it'll work fine for a bit more - as long as I don't press too hard on the screen.

I read someone claiming that this might be a sign that the screen isn't hard glass, but flexible plastic, which will destroy the digitizer (due to the constant pressure).

So I'm basically looking to talk to someone who knows anything about this.

Or anyone else with experience from replacing glass.

Ball tossed to community.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] tw199y2011:
I wouldnt know i replaced the glass my self and the screen broke so i never tried it again :\ i no at work we get a new screen aswell and replace the whole unit saves alot of hassle just alot more money

:good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Shiningb:
Well I just replaced my glass after a destruction of my original glass.... this on the fourth day of the phone with me...

And now the glass reflects a lot (compared to the original glass) also there is a little bit of blur on the screen which really was annoying, tried to find a solution to these problems but they said everything was normal and that this flaw in the screen was due to replacing only the glass not the whole screen..... also the colors of the touch buttons changed.....

But..... guess I'll have to survive with the device for a year like this.... only a matte based screen protector saves the quality. .

For some reason long pressing the menu button on my s4 brings up my recent apps as opposed to Google now on my s4. I'm unrooted, completely stock. This feature used to work. Haven't had the kitkat update as I'm on Verizon. Anyone else have this problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Oishikatta:
That's the intended behaviour. It comes like that when stock.

I think Google Now should be swipe up from bottom of screen; not sure as I've never installed it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike.s:
So, your S4 behaves differently than your S4. That's weird.

Seriously, that's how it's supposed to work. Go into Google Now, settings/help, where it's explained. Long press home is on Google Play edition phones (swipe up is for Nexus phones).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cyrene:
Ok, but I have googled this all over the place. Other people on other forums say the same. Long Press menu brings up Google Now. Additionally, my phone used to do this until last week.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Oishikatta:
Have you tried a factory reset? Since you're not rooted, that should reset everything... but there's also the full-wipe MK2 Odin tar to really reset everything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
No, long press menu should bring it up. Looks like you might have to factory reset your phone OP. It doesn't even work on the homescreen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike.s:
LOL. Who is Google to contradict your expertise?

Google
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Did you even read what you posted? That's for nexus and gpe devices. The Samsung S4 on stock Touchwiz is not either of those things.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike.s:
Let me simply point out your lack of reading comprehension:

The S4 is an "Android 4.1+ device," and it works exactly as described.

But if you knew how to read, you could download the user manual for the phone, and discover how Samsung says it works:

...which again confirms that the OP's phone (and my own, which is running "rooted" stock) is working as both Google and Samsung describe.

But, maybe you like the taste of crow, since you've asked for a second serving.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Really whipping out the manual? Lol in the section you're referring to, it also doesn't mention that long pressing the back key toggles the multiwindow tab. It's not a complete guide to those functions.
