[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] belictony:
Get it to service Centre for quality replacement. There is a way to open up and replace LCD digitizer for rectifying the display. However the damage as to the level of Penetration inside the phone is not known. If your phone is dropped into the water, put in a dry place and let it dry. Don't even switch on. Control the urge to check if it's working. Don't switch on up to 48hrs. Don't shake as it may damage more.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klozo:
thank you belictony.

if I wanted to fix it myself - would it be easier (and safer, though more expensive) to replace glass+digitizer+lcd instead of only digitizer ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] belictony:
There are LCD assembly for sale. Its not safer and easier to replace it yourself unless you have knowledge about it. Even if you know about it, there is no assurance as to whether the device will work or not. Get it to service center or buy a new phone. The service center personnel will probably charge around 200-300 depending upon the condition. You can rather buy a nexus 5 or some other phone.

Hello Everybody,

A very nice day to all of u. I am using an O2 XDA II and my touchscreen got damaged ( as its not working but the LCD is crystal clear ). Some drops of water went into the screen and its not yet dried up from the last two month. Can anybody please help me out on this thing.

And if I need to buy the touchscreen, do I have to Buy the LCD part also ?

And Apporx how much will it cost ?

Thanks in Advance

i used to have the same problem with yours, maybe your LCD has a problem not your touchscreen.. Mine was replaced by a new LCD....

Hi everyone, I'm a tech for sprint, I've seen a lot of Samsung Note 3's come in to our store as well as our managers note 3 that have an issue syncing an Microsoft Exchange email accounts, we've tried re-doing the email account, as well as hard resetting the devices,, emails will sync for an hour tops. All suggestions are welcome!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BHurst:
Root the phone and flash a custom Rom. What email client are you using? touchdown wheels great.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jivankovich:
Well I would love to root everyone's phone. But working for sprint, we're not even allowed to work on rooted devices so that's definitely out of the question but I'll try using the touchdown app, and they are all using the stock email application on the device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jivankovich:
I forgot to mention I have seen it in S4 devices as well as the new S5
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BHurst:
Is it all the same type of account? Might be a problem on the server end.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] carnagecjb:
The only issue I've seen with my Exchange account is an absurdly large battery drain...

If I set it on "push", my phone is constantly on. The stay awake time for the exchange service is more or less my uptime, minus my screen on time.

I just don't use push, and have no other issues...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jivankovich:
Nope their all sorts of active sync accounts!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] oscarthegrouch:
I know somebody with att s4 that upgraded to kk. He has same problem with exchange, very high battery drain. He tried changing settings and poll time but it still kills his battery. I'm wondering if the exchange program/service in Samsung kk has a bug that is s4/s5/n3. I wonder if there are email apps that don't rely on built in exchange app, that they have their own built in? Maybe this might save the battery? I don't know if k9 is good or not but I tried using it in the past. I'm sure there's others.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jivankovich:
That's what I think, it all happened after the new wifi/hd voice update on the note 3. But it worked fine on the initial kk update. The one I'm still on and I have no problems lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] thegof:
I use exchange all the time. No sync issues and no battery drain with push. I would start asking if they know which version of exchange server is running to see if it is isolated to one version.

KK is installed on my Note 3 with exchange set 24/7 and no battery issues.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jivankovich:
Touchdown seems to be the best fix, I've been suggesting it to everyone that has the issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] erik077:
Don't think it's a Kit-Kat issue. I am using exchange with push settings, no issues at all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] micmars:
Or one can use the EmailGoogle and Exchange2Google pair of apps, and attain everything they need with one-fourth the footprint, free of charge, syncs perfectly, and can actually see subfolders of your exchange inbox.

The app you're recommending is terrific, but quite the beast and most certainly not the best choice for all.

It is, as noted, an awesome app.

Just wondering if anyone has gotten a refurbished phone from at&t recently and if it came with JB or KK on it? I really want this phone, but I can't stand at&t firmware. AT&T's site says 4.4, but I know it's not always correct.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyLG123:
I turned my Note 3 in and they sent me a refurbished one with MJ5 4.3 about two weeks ago. That's what the At&t tech was telling me, but the more KitKat phones that get turned in it's going to be more of a hit and miss to what OS you will get.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:
I got a new replacement phone through best buy with MI9 firmware on it. Very pleased with that. Got it last Wed.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsmboost:
Thanks. I was just hoping that the techs are not flashing 4.4 by default for all the phones that get turned in.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haitian:
I got my Note 3 through Amazon on AT&T for $199 just two weeks ago, and it came with MJ5. Last I looked AT&T wants $299 for new and $99 for refurbish. I considered the Refurbish but didn't want to risk it coming already with KitKat.

I am very happy I went through Amazon. I used Kingo and rooted it within hours of receiving it, loaded Safe-strap and flashed KitKat used the Odin NC2 files to get it to boot, Worked like a charm. Afterwards uninstalled Safe-strap 3.71 and then installed 3.72.

Its running great. I wish the boot loader was unlocked, but for now safe-strap works.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsmboost:
Can't justify spending more than $100 on a subsidized device when I'll be paying over $3000 for the service during the course of 2 years knowing full well they're already milking customers. So I'm definitely going to stick with refurbished and take a risk.

Great deal right? I got mine that way too!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:
The sticker has the serial number and IMEI number in it. Switching those stickers for warranty is illegal and against XDA rules.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backdown:
Which would go with the motherboard. Not sure how that is illegal when the serials are staying the same :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:
OK... I see your point there... But, what he is still doing is warranty fraud.

Swapping parts and stickers and claiming something such as "it fixed itself" is fraud and still not allowed on XDA.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backdown:
Please stop while you're ahead. While what he is doing isn't exactly correct, what you're calling and labeling it as isn't exactly spot on. It's not morally correct to do so, and if Att or Samsung found out you did and wanted to go after you they may..but that's not our risk to take.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] E46M3:
I just got the S5 and I've always liked the voice control feature in case I need to answer a call by voice. But for the S5, if I turn the voice control on(call settings > answering and ending calls > Voice control) then caller ID voice prompt would turn on by default as well. But I don't want the annoying voice prompt telling me who's calling. My previous devices had the option of turning it off(S4, Note 2). But with the S5, I can't turn the voice prompt off and still keep the voice control! Am I missing something?

Is anyone using voice control and seeing the same thing???

[Shield Q&A] Blade3D:
I have apps on the SD card that work, however in emulators I can't access the SD card or anywhere I have to go through the directories. Anyone have an idea how to get this working? Is it not formatted correctly?
[Shield Q&A] LiveMChief:
No, everything is fine on your end.

You must be on android version 4.4.2, which block write access on the sd card, which means you can't put things on it with a file explorer or have apps write files to it(save files, random generated data, etc...)

You either have to downgrade to version 4.3 or root it and install sd card fix from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...+play&pcampaignid=APPU_D-xVU4WjEYu0yATe3YGYBQ
[Shield Q&A] hexitnow:
You can still write your sd card using a root explorer. Apps that store data on the sdcard can only write to their respective folders is what it is. I think hes talking about how the directories are different because of how mount points are in kitkat now
[Shield Q&A] SPIDERTECH:
Access to the SD card isn't blocked. Apps can only write to folders the app owns. Snes9x for example created a folder on the SD card. That is where you have to tell the app to save files to as it is the only folder it has write access to. I figured that out and have no problem saving files to the SD with any of my emulators.
[Shield Q&A] NapalmDawn:
I noticed this too on my shield. I was going to put some ISOs on my SD card for FPSE to use. When I was in FPSE's config, I was going to try and point it to the SD card but it would only allow me to work with the onboard memory. Would the SD card fix allow me to get this working? I really don't want to store ISOs on the onboard memory or just continually shuffle my active ISO to the internal memory when I want to play that game.
[Shield Q&A] CDeviant:
Yes SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD will allow you to move things to the SD card. (write access) Just remember you need to be rooted to use the app.
[Shield Q&A] NapalmDawn:
Thanks for the link. Yes, it's definitely rooted.

Hello all!

I have a Galaxy s4 (i9500) and a linksys cisco e900 router

Recently my isp asked me to upgrade the firmware

Until I updatee my firmware everything was working fine

After the firmware upgrade I am experiencing the following issues:

At the beginning when I conmect to my wifi everything works fine for the first 5 min, all apps work flawlessly, then suddenly my phone only uploads date (up arrow only) but no down arrow n then my apps such as whatsapp, fb messenger, etc do not recieve any data until I goto those apps and stay in there for about a min. Then I get all my whatsapp messages sent about a min ago . But my browser seems fine..and the speed there is good.

What could be the problem .

Is it my phone or the router.

Try modifying your wifi connection in your phone. Instead of DHCP use static. Leave the IP it's usually fine.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
All the advice I have read suggests to zip the backup before moving it to your PC. This lessens the chance of the backup being corrupted.

The one thing you have to watch out for when moving a backup is that there's a chance that the 'permissions' will be changed. You may have to re instate the original permissions when you copy the backup back to your phone.......most root explorers can accomplish this.....

But take a note of what the permissions were before you moved the backup from your phone to begin with.....

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
I've heard of that app, but I've never used it. I don't know what file format is created by the app....so I don't know whether the created backup will be compatible with a CWM based recovery (PhilZ).......

Have a look at the info in the app description and see what it says.....

Edit.....just had a look myself, and it seems that the backups are compatible with CWM 5.x.x.x and 6.x.x.x, it also appears to be compatible with an S2 running anything except KitKat......

So....as long as your PhilZ features the correct CWM, you're good to go.....

Sent from my Markox powered KitKatted S2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Just had a thought.....JB uses a new data partition called preload......

Most backup creation software WILL NOT include this partition as a default. When it comes to restoring your system from a backup, if preload hasn't been backed up, your system won't boot. With PhilZ you can manually select to include preload in the backup, but I don't know how that'd work with the app.....

Just something to think about/remember when creating your backup......
