I got G900F few days ago and I noticed that there is some parts inside my phone that are not fixed, so I hear tickling when I use phone, especially when I shake it. It comes from upper part of phone. I went to shop where I bought it and tried some other S5s there and I think they all have same issue. Seller guy told me to go to official Samsung service center after holidays...

Maybe it is camera lenses that are not fixed, or some other sensors?

Can anybody confirm this ticking when shaking phone?

Thanks.

There is another thread here somewhere where a user is reporting a rattling sound on his device also, have a search and see what he said about it
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanButton:
It's the camera. The lens is free to move otherwise you couldn't refocus. If you open the camera app you'll notice the rattling goes away as the focus motor has power at that point. It's nothing to worry about, it's no a failure or defect, most modern phones rattle when you shake them for the same reason.

Hope this helps.

[Sprint LG G2] andriodee:
I don't know if anyone else is having this issue, but I have tried enabling Trace Input by editing the Build Prompt using Root Browser four times now, and all four times have resulted in the following two error pop-ups:

Unfortunately, com.android.systemui has stopped working. OK

Unfortunately, Home has stopped working. OK

Pressing OK gets me nowhere. It only brings back the same two messages instantly, making it impossible for me to do ANYTHING. It's a stock rooted OTA ZVC, so there's no custom recovery nor ROMs to flash even if I had a custom recovery. Two out of the four times, I had to use the LG Flash Tool and flash the ZV7 and 8 tot files and kept installing the OTAs until I was back to ZVC. The other two times, I flashed the ZVC files. Of course, regardless of what you flash, you're losing EVERYTHING on your phone — music, movies, pics, texts, call logs, apps, etc. Reinstalling tons of apps and using the USB to transfer tons of pics, movies, and music takes FOREVER to do, so I was wondering if any of you were having this same issue. If so, how do I resolve it?

P.S. I usually tether my data to my computer, but right now I'm using my little sister's wifi hotspot. Sprint is upgrading the towers on my area, so not only is there no LTE available right now, but the download speeds are terribly slow. I'm downloading the ZVC tot now, and it's 0.6/2.1 GB with 10 hours left to complete. I'm hoping someone can/will provide me with a fix before then to save me the trouble of starting fresh all over again.
[Sprint LG G2] secret.animal:
I'm sorry, with those 2 errors kind of hard to do anything on the phone. I would say I could send you a build prop, but without getting into a recovery or without the errors won't do any good.

If you can use

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2715496

The auto-rec program. It keeps download, down grades aboot, gives you recovery.

I do apologize if I don't remember but if you are one of the few unlucky with white line syndrome on the phone after a recovery is installed.

Cloudyfa has the fix linked on the first page also.

Which will make it like you didn't just try to put recovery on.
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
The app you used to edit may have truncated the build.prop, I know rootexplorer says its too big and truncates in a warning message, do it on computer and overwrite or use a separate build.prop editor. Check permissions on modified build.prop which should be rw-r-r. I have done this on both my G2s with no problems.
[Sprint LG G2] KB112:
Abhinav.tella nailed it. I use Rom Toolbox lite, just as I show in my thread. Works like a charm on ZVC. Also, you can just flash a ZVC TOT if you had to. You don't need to flash all the way back using an old TOT file and work your way to current.
[Sprint LG G2] andriodee:
I guess I can try that. My only gripe is that if it doesn't work, I'll have to tot back and have no files or anything on my phone again. That is a hassle and it really sucks having to reroot and install all my apps and stuff again.
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pkmns:
Hello,

I have an SIII Mini. Everything is stock, except for the fact that it is rooted.

At times, when somebody calls, the phone won't ring and the caller will immediately hear the answering service message (as though the phone was off). When this happens, there is no way to call anybody as well and the only way to fix it seems to be removing the battery and turning on again. Does anybody know how to fix this? Could flashing the stock ROM again do any good?

Also, the data network connection seems to be embarassingly slow. Does it have anything to do with this?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prototype74:
Do you get the same problem if you use a other sim card? Or try to remove sim and put it back. Maybe this solve your problem :)

I haven't tried other SIMs, but I tried mine on another phone and everything seemed to work. I forgot to mention that each time I remove the battery and put it back I do the same with the SIM, so I actually don't know which of the two is the actual cause - I'll check as soon as this happens again.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] dpersuhn:
Samsung is apparently down globally at the moment. There is some speculation that this is related to a fire at the Sds facility, which really begs an interesting question about how Samsung handles it's datacenter(s). I find it hard to believe that they would design something so poorly as to not have geographical fault tolerance, but by the same token, all of the hub services are down along with the samsung.com website.

At a minimum, this should be cause for concern about how and where Samsung stores our data and in my case has me in a bind because I'm actually having issues with the Hancom apps on my note pro 12.2. I actually uninstalled hword because it wouldn't open up documents and found out about Samsung being offline when I couldn't access the Samsung app store or Hancom updater to reinstall it.

A company the size of Samsung and they couldn't be bothered with a proper disaster recovery strategy that would ensure availability?

I sincerely hope nobody was injured in the reported fire, but it certainly seems to have provided some insight into what Samsung considers to be acceptable service levels. If this is how little regard they show for critical service availability, it's no wonder firmware updates are always an issue.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] dpersuhn:
I've yet to see Google play, maps, apps, and search engine take a dive at the same time. I work in a world of five nines availability with clients a hell of a lot smaller than samsung, so it really doesn't speak well for a company their size to take that kind of outage. I realize that things can happen from time to time, but last night's outage points to a serious flaw in their hosting design. Ever hear of geo load balancing?

Hey Samsung, you could stand to start here: https://f5.com/products/big-ip
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Duly.noted:
I didnt experience amy interruption. Strange. However have you dealt with any other large companies being hit by disasters like this? Or are you particularly familiar with their internal workings? Isnt it a bit unfair to judge them based on limited information? I mean that could have been their primary data hub. Even if it is backed up somewhere else it could take some time to reroute everything they run through another location. It was obviously backed uo somewhere or it wouldn't be working again already. You even started with samsung disapointed on yet another from. It sounds like you are looking forba reason to hate in samsung
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] dodo99x:
They had a major fire. Thankfully there were no fatalities. Let's not overreact to a very minor and temporary inconvenience.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] wingdo:
Exactly. Sorry you were inconvenienced, but I am certain people employed at the facility are inconvenienced a lot more.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] dpersuhn:
Not a hater, just a realist. I'll reiterate that I hope nobody was injured.

That said, I'm speaking from a business perspective, not am personal attack on the employees of that datacenter. I've been designing networks and high availability data centers for nearly two decades and most of my customers demand 99.999% availability for customer facing services. These things would be served out of multiple active locations, not a single location with some dodgy backup. Even better, the non personal stuff like the app and media stores would be served by a CDN. In any case, the loss of a site would immediately reroute traffic and the time it takes for DNS cache to expire would likely be the slowest part.

It isn't insensitive to say that this incident pointed out a shortcoming and when you add it to numerous other recent issues with samsung tablets, the overall picture is disappointing. I went through a number of 10.1 2014 edition tablets before giving up on the faulty BT on that device, as Samsung never addressed it. I buy a note pro 12.2 that resolves it and the Hancom software wasn't pre installed or available to download on release day, now this. It's just a growing list of things that are each small, but show that Samsung just isn't on the ball when it comes to fit and finish. They make the only reasonably usable Android tablet with an active digitizer, so they get my business for now.

I'm not sure why the folks here can't separate a comment on service availability from the matter of personal safety. I'm not suggesting people should have been placed in harm's way to keep things running. I'm stating that there are design shortcomings in how the service is delivered.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] muzzy996:
I don't think you'll get any argument that it would have been great if service didn't go down for as long as it did . . Nor do I think that people are having issue with separating personal safety from service availability. The issue more likely stems from the varying degree of tolerance for service interruptions.

On saturday night I was setting up my new tablet when I realized something was wrong with Samsung services. I poked around, realized that the incident was occurring, shrugged my shoulders and moved on to do something else before turning in for the night. Come sunday morning everything was back up and I didn't give the issue a second thought.

We get what you're saying; there's obvious room for improvement, but it could have been worse too . .
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Duly.noted:
Well it sure does piss me off when google goes down, or ebay, or amazon, or any number of websites and services that go down unexpectedly. So why is it that absolutley none of these seem to have a flawless system of backups and service availability like you say they should despite being huge companies. I guess if they all hired you none of them would ever have service interuptions.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] dpersuhn:
At first, I read this and was a bit torqued off at the personal attack, but then I remembered that this forum is already littered with nonsensical vitriol that you've spewed out in ignorance. Since you're apparently qualified to assess Samsung's INFRASTRUCTURE (note that this is not synonymous with website) availability based upon your extensive knowledge and experience in this field. How exactly do all of their services work? What made this a perfectly acceptable failure scenario based upon industry best-practice design standards? Please elaborate on the routers, switches, firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, load balancers, and redundant service provider connections that were all designed, implemented, and functioning properly at the time that this failure occurred. Oh, and don't forget about datacenter redundancy too. I'm anxiously awaiting some education about how modern high-availabilty design practices couldn't possibly have prevented or minimized this outage.

I'm one of thousands of engineers that could definitively elaborate on how it failed to meet the most basic best practice standards for what should be a high availability service. I'll be glad to discuss the finer points of service availability and disaster recovery with you whenever it becomes a technical conversation but based upon the lack of useful references you've made thus far, I'm quite sure that day will never come...
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] dpersuhn:
Just for comparison. Google's average website availability is currently tracked at 99.984%. That's less than 5 minutes per month of total downtime. To hold the same measure of availability after that outage, Samsung would have to never have a single second of downtime for at least the next four years (I didn't track the exact duration of the outage, so I'm using the most favorable number that I've seen). And even with that service level, I'd bet my career that the only downtime of the Google website has been software / server related, not infrastructure.

When exactly was it that you experienced an EXTENDED outage with Google, eBay, or Amazon?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Duly.noted:
I tried replying twice to no avail. The xda app times out on me all the time. Sorry my teasing offended you. It is apparent your care about this (even though nobody else does) so I decided to pick at it a little. My attempt to initiate a little banter obviously went badly and im sorry about that. My bad. Calling everything I post vitriol was a bit much though. When I do respond I usually have a very workable solution to the issue in question. I have only been notably rude to one person. And that was a very very bad day for me and the guy was just whining. Half the stuff he was wrong about anyways..but that doesnt matter. The point is sorry I made you angry.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] zaptoons:
Honest question: Exactly WHAT service was down?

I can't think of any "service" I need directly from Samsung, let alone that I'd even notice missing for an hour or two.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] rkirmeier:
With all your ranting and claims you apparently have a high level of technical skills but no common sense. Samsung is not monitoring XDA for your personal rant on their lack of service redundancy and down time due to a major fire! Get over it and do something productive!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] dpersuhn:
At what point did I ever say I expected Samsung to read it, respond, or otherwise? It is worth consideration for users that are placing their faith in things like Samsung cloud backups and such to know that their data could be inaccessible when they need it.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] dpersuhn:
This thread really has been a good exercise in shaking out the Samsung cheerleaders, hasn't it? I bring up an availability concern and you'd think I went around personally slapping some folks upside the head. Oddly, I have yet to see any retort of technical merit. Fascinating...
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] dpersuhn:
Guess I'm the ass. I take it seriously for two reasons. 1. I forked over serious cash for a device that is supposed to be a business tool and expect Samsung to provide services at an appropriate level as such. 2. Infrastructure design has been my life for nearly two decades, so I see failures like this in a different light than most folks on here. If you think I'm overstating my position, realize that there are some IT folks who did or probably will lose their jobs over that outage.

As for netflix being unavailable at your house for months on end, wow. I can't believe that people tolerate handing cash over to a company (guessing your ISP in this case, maybe Comcast?) while they blatantly refuse to provide the services that you subscribed to (aka the best effort clause in every service provider agreement).

Personally, I wish Samsung would stop trying to host content and services for these devices and fall back to letting google do that part. Nothing spells fun like orphaned apps if I switch tablets. Just ask apple, they have a pile of them I left behind when I dumped my iPad.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] dpersuhn:
Samsung.com, samsung app and media stores, Hancom updater, cloud backup and restore. In my case, I was working on updating client docs for a morning meeting and only had my tablet with me. When I tried to use Hword, it kept bombing out for some reason. As a last resort, I figured if try to reinstall Hword, but couldn't because the samsung App Store was unavailable. I ended up buying Polaris office just so I could finish working. Not sure why Hword was dead, but it worked fine after the App Store came back online and I was able to reinstall.
