[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Karim.younus:
Am I correct in thinking that my Note 10.1-14 (Wifi) will receive an OTA update in a week or 2? I live in the UK but hasn't the update only been released in Colombia.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] 22sl22:
There's no way of telling. It could be a few weeks or even a month or two. You might as well flash the kitkat firmware. I'm in the UK as well and the Colombian firmware is safe to use.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Geordie Affy:
Bro just carry on with life, Samsung are useless and even more so in the UK. We still havent had the mk1 update and obviously never will so will be while before we get 4.4 a reckon...Last as always.

Just a quick question from a UK user. Will updating via ODIN trip the KNOX flag or not? Also, are there ANY disadvantages of updating this way instead of waiting for the OTA?

Cheers

Hey chaps,

Just out of curiosity how do I set off the dot view with a magnet? Sheet do I place it, tried all over can't get it too set off.

Cheers
[One (M8) Accessories] henderjr:
One in back under the left side of the screen, near the center if I remember correctly and then one on the front pretty much the same place. I don't have my dot view on my phone currently so I can't be 100%. If you have them in the right place when you double tap the screen or hit the power button the dot view should show.
[One (M8) Accessories] crustyeye:
Yeah bang on. Just needed the one in the back, left hand side. Cheers pal,
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sansari123:
Greetings-

I have tried to root my Galaxy Note 3 using the autoroot file provided by the great Chainfire ( much respect ). But it does not work. I just want to be clear, this is a phone, which I have reimaged with the Sprint stock firmware again, since I erased one file too many and could not boot it any more. Has anyone done this? btw, I got my image from SAMOBILE. Has anyone rooted a phone, ideally Galaxy Note 3, which they flashed with stock firmware after they rooted it once at least?

Regards

i have an unrooted unlocked samsung galaxy mega 6.3 gt i9200 from china i tried to flash an arabic rom using odin but it didnt work and now the phone is not working how can i fix it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
What isn't working? Did it flash successfully but not boot? Just do a factory reset. If it didn't flash completely, then you have to let us know what happened before it failed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dexzizo:
i tried to flash a rom but failed now it says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Ok, so typically when people say they flashed a rom, that means a custom version through a custom recovery. But you said earlier you tried to install through Odin. This is an important distinction. If you tried to flash a custom rom and it didn't work, then flashing the correct stock firmware through Odin will resolve. If you flashed through Odin and it gave you that warning, then you need to find the right one and re-try.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dexzizo:
Yup what i tried to do is flash an arabic rom instead the Chinese stock one but if failed on the phone it said invalid at the end so if i flashed the Chinese stock one back from odin will it work or not
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Yes, flashing the original firmware via Odin should get you working again.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dexzizo:
will it work if i used samsung kies recovery
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Possibly, but if the system had already been modified, I find Odin to be a more reliable fix.

well i flashed back the old rom and it worked but now i have no signal and there is no sound what can i go and there is 2 red lines on the top when i open the phone even the wifi doesnt work

This covers the back, the sides, and the bottom.

This does look pretty cool, for people that don't care for heavy bulky cases. This offers some good scuff protection, and more than just a clear skin. And should help in gripping the phone, without being so slippery. I

Do they sell these at stores at all, like BestBuy or ATT retail ?

[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BukLau:
I don't know if any of you have this issue from 4.3, but from 4.3 the apps in my phone crashed randomly, which would lead to the entire phone crashing.

This is a new S4A phone that I received from insurance company after I lost my 4.2.2 S4A, which ran faultlessly with custom launchers and rooted.

So this new phone I dare not to run anything special but still the phone apps crashed randomly and regularly on the first day that I received.

I soon returned the phone to ATT store, but they only re-flash the stock ROM, SLOWLY ( It took them 2 weeks of time to give it back to me even with every other day phone harassment from me )

That didn't solve my problem as later I encountered app crashing again and I've ran MULTIPLE Odin to re-flash the offical 4.3 ATT ROM, and factory reset myself - almost everything but they didn't help at all.

Then I tried this new update to 4.4.2, and like the 4.3 I tried to play it safe by not going to use any launchers or root it, not even to turn off the bloatwares when I was giving the option to, but now I find out I'm getting the same issue. :crying:

Is this software problem or hardware problem of my new phone ? I don't want to give the phone to the ATT store again with that slow service, I'll rather try to solve this problem by myself if anyone knows how.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Silkmeister1:
Hey everyone,

just wanted to post this out there so other people don't make the same mistake.

Before anyone says how stupid this was of me, read the title

So I bought my tab just after it came out in the US and travelled back to Europe. The battery was amazing and had lasted for 30 hours before running low on charge. I decided that the white charger that came with my black unit was just not going to cut it and without even thinking I was using a different charger with the device. Device recognized the charge and accepted it (with a 2 second delay)... KEEP IN MIND: US is 110V Europe is 220V! Long story short, I fused the whole tab and it wouldn't turn on.

What is most weird about this situation is that I regularly charge up my OG Droid with that same charger and that ancient thing has a pre-built fuse protector in it. Seems odd that they wouldn't incorporate that technology into new devices such as the Samsung Tab Pro series.

Anyhow, I first started an online Chat and basically told them the screen wouldn't work or the device wouldn't turn on. I just played dumb

The guy ran through all the troubleshooting for the device and then went ahead and printed out a return label.

Thank heavens I had decided to postpone rooting making my warranty worth something.

Sammy repaired it in about a month (!) and I should be receiving it back soon!

lesson learned: don't use other charges and only use the ugly white one that came with the device

Thanks for reading.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] UsernameWasTaken:
Hey, guys,

My P880 hasn't been submerged, splashed, soaked or wet at all and I'd like a proof of that, but I dont know where a liquid damage indicator might be located. I've watched three disassembly videos and no-one mentioned it. Anyone knows?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ottomanhero:
I don't think there's such a thing located inside our phone.Never seen anyone talking about it.People just directly drop their phone into bag of rice and pray, no one bothered to look for such thing.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] UsernameWasTaken:
I'm not asking for a repair advice, I need to know this for another purpose.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Tcm9669:

Look for something similar in the 4X?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] UsernameWasTaken:
This white dot next to camera flash is the only thing that looks like a water damage indicator

But it's still just a speculation, and it might not be the only water damage marker in the phone.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Tcm9669:
Does it look like a sticker?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] UsernameWasTaken:
Well, it looks like a... something white... I don't know, it's under the plastic cover. That's why I asked if anyone knew where are the indicators in 4X.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] abhi08638:
I don't recall seeing anything like that but you can check my repair guide thread in the general forum. I have a link to all of the pictures I took while taking it apart. Maybe you can find something I missed

Hit the Thanks Button if I helped
[LG Optimus 4X HD] UsernameWasTaken:
I looked, but no, I didn't see any other.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] MarGhD:
The white dot on the right side of camera flash is indeed the Liquid Damage Indicator of the phone. It turns red when it comes in contact with water. I know this because I accidentally dropped my phone into a bath of bleach water.

BE WARNED!!

A single drop of water going inside the LG Optimus 4x HD will fully disable and damage the phone. So don't bring it out in rainy conditions or in the shower.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] DiZzyBonne:
I'm finally going to send in my phone to fix the purple tint issue, and I was told that the first thing HTC does is factory reset your phone. I'm a 100% stock Sprint HTC One (M7,) without rooting my phone, what's the best way to back EVERYTHING up, including app settings, phone settings, ringtones, volumes, contacts, etc.? Should I use the HTC backup app that came with my phone, or the Google backup app that comes with Android, or are there any third party apps?

Thank you!

[EDIT]

If I go to Settings -> Bakup & reset -> Backup account -> I have two options, "HTC Account" and "Google Account." That's what I mean by the HTC backup app and the Google backup app.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Generally speaking, without root it is very hard to backup app data. HTC says it backs up your apps, but whatever you do in them is not saved. You probably need something like titanium backup to do that. I don't think text messages are saved either so you'll need some kind of a third party app to save those. However, contacts are saved via Google and the HTC backup should save most of your phone settings.

oh, and you should be able to backup all your media manually.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zKsPOWERHOUSE:
So I have no idea what the hell happened just now... I opened WhatsApp, it somehow crashed my phone. I try to reboot, it hangs on the Samsung logo... I try to reboot again, and I got the firmware upgrade error. Have gotten it every time since.

I have been using my phone for ages without any problems, and haven't made any changes to it in forever either. What do I do???

edit:

I guess what I'm most curious about is if there is a way to get this fixed without having to return to stock and all that. This is such bull**** man... I did NOTHING wrong, and somehow it still got messed up. HOW?! I have no words... I want to at least access all my data before I do any flashing, if that is necessary... But how do I access my data when I can't hook it up to my PC... Man I'm trying to stay calm but I'm so pissed off right now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
Can you get it into recovery and download mode?

An alternative is flashing a custom recovery using odin, then make a nandroid backup.

After that, flash clean stock firmware, flash custom recovery and try advance-restore the data partition from the nandroid backup.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zKsPOWERHOUSE:
I have a custom recovery flashed already but it will only boot into download, not into recovery. Or do you mean to boot into download and flash a custom recovery in hopes it will boot into recovery after I newly flash it?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zKsPOWERHOUSE:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Try flashing a custom recovery with download mode which you can use to copy data to an extremal sd. If that doesn't work then emmc chip is probably blown or corrupt.

If so then try the rescue firmware in general forum, which might repair the partition structure, otherwise you'll need a new motherboard.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zKsPOWERHOUSE:
Hey there! Thanks for the reply. Which custom recovery would you recommend? CWM Touch 6.0.4.7 maybe?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
I wouldn't recommend, as this is against xda rules, but I use philz myself.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zKsPOWERHOUSE:
Tried flashing philz, but didn't work. It seemed to flash properly but it just won't boot into recovery. Gives me like a screen with 'static', black/white/grey lines. Seems like an emmc problem then. Where is this rescue firmware thread you speak of? I am really desperate atm, I want to save the data on my phone, the phone itself comes second, data is the most important. If I lose the phone but save the data I'm okay with that.

so now i'm stuck with no contacts,emails,calendar and what not, but i do have a very stupid smartphone.

as i see it, i have 2 options:

1) find a way to change the recovery to english, and head on from there, or

2) find a way to install google apps & services back to my current version, and carry on with my life

[General Topics] poo1009:
I've post this technique in Thai board for long time, but never post here before.

For the user who always love to change the ringtone in you phone and especially for that one who have set rigntones differntly in each group or preson. When you have new file of truetone, normally, you must go to each group or person to re-set the ringtone again.

But, if you never change the name of ringtone file, you'll never re-set the ringtone again.

The way I do is for my friends group I name the .mp3 file is friends.mp3 and put in the ringtone folder. When I want to change the ringtone of this group I just copy new ringtone file replace this one with the same name!!!

So, I set ringtone just once at the initial and never set in each group or persons again just replace the new I want to the old with the same name.

A simple technique that someone may lookover it.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] sporklover:
Read a warning over at android central. Although it works perfect, for some strange reason putting the phone into ultra-power saving mode causes the launcher to lose any settings you might have changed, too include layout.

If you are using it it might be a good idea to turn off ultra power saving mode.

I've own the SGS3 almost since launch day. Soon it will be 2 years old.

I'm getting 3 hours SOT and 24 hours total.

I'm thinking of buying a new original 2100 battery to see if it improves battery life. Would it?

Anyone has tried this?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ablair:
I haven't tried it yet since I'm hopefully getting a new phone soon but I do believe it would help, maybe an extra hour SOT because I know my battery was amazing back 2 years ago and now I get the same times you do if not worse.

Theoretically yes! battery life should improve, as you will be having a new battery.

My battery is just over a year old and i get around a 1d12h worth of battery time and roughly 3.5 to 4 hours SOT.

I recently bought a Pisen 2100mah battery off the internet and for the same SOT i got more usage. maybe 1d 20h nearing the 2d use.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] illustrious.hr:
from what I've heard, newer generations of batteries, like ones that ship with SGS3, should not be drained to 0% with phone shutting down. it was advised to charge at low percents like 1% to 5% while phone is still on
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Geo_Tech:
Of course it would and if you dont have problem with size and weight i recomend you to get samsung's 3000mhA battery. Why not getting a bigger battery ;)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] WarCow:
It depends how old the battery is though. All Li-ion batteries degrade over time, even if they aren't used. So if you get a 2 year old battery, that has been sitting on a shelf somewhere, it won't help as much as you'd hoped. Depending on the temperature and charge level it was stored at, it could have lost a lot of its capacity.

So the trick is to get a newly manufactured battery, which isn't so easy since most sellers don't write this information.
