[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaptainkry:
I know there was a very long thread about this... and I've read it all and I'm having no luck. Yeah um... I'm a newbie here so try to forgive my stupidity :D ! But allow me to explain.. you see i'm not so bad at computers... but i'm horrible at phones.. :eek: It's just I've taken years to know android (and rooting) and so I'm like "YOU KNOW WHAT LET'S MESS UP MY VERY NICE PHONE BY TRYING TO FLASH A NEW OPERATING SYSTEM" :victory: !! yup... "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please Turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help!" with a nice big yellow triangle to mock me. So umm here's the deal.. I don't feel like taking it to the suit's over at Verizon... but I have a family trip coming up this weekend so If I can't get it fixed tonight- tomorrow I'm afraid I'll have to resort to sitting there awkwardly scratching my head as the guy just smirks at me... knowing what I did. So let me get down to the details of what I have done.

Ok so here's how I bricked it:

I really do hate TouchWiz. So I was checking in to ROMS when I found the beauty of CyanogenMod. I've known about it for a lonnggg time it's just I never paid it any attention. Guess who forgot to unlock their bootloaders... THIS GUY! :o

yeah....

Here's what I've done so far:

So like usual bricked phone carriers do I went the Odin 3 path. I'm running Windows 8 on the computer I used for it but I doubt that's the problem. Now my trouble is even though I downloaded the proper stock firmware... well when I ran it in Odin everything went well until it said FAIL! error with sboot.bin! So I'm sitting there like :silly: and some guy pointed me towards a seemingly proper direction. He said he thinks it's because my bootloaders are still locked so it can't reinstall the firmware. K... seems good :highfive:

So then I come to xda where I found this threat that shined new hope for me :angel: this awesomly smartastic guy gave a link on that thread to an "alternate" firmware for i605 note 2. It left out the sboot.bin thing and the guy that was having trouble there got it on his phone no problamo. Well heres the deal... I can't download it :crying: (and I've used different computers, even resorting to my chromebook) it didn't say download failed but it would download 1gb in only a few seconds and no way is my internet that fast... :eek: which means oddly enough my download is corrupted. Even Odin says it :confused:

Any tips... or can someone point me towards a new download location? Thanks and remember I'm a newbie... so sorry for my newbie stupidity :good: hopefuly there's no sign up test :rolleyes:

Download firmware from sammobile website for your device (use Google search if you don't know the url), use Odin to flash.

Are there any advantages of factory resetting the GN 10.1 after receiving the KitKat update? Would it make the installation any 'cleaner' if you know what I mean! :laugh:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] haterbait:
I also wonder.

I wonder the same thing. I updated my stock tablet to Kitkat without doing a factory reset before or after the update. It seems to be widely recommend, but I wonder if there are any noticeable problems that can happen without resetting. Not that it hurts to do it, I just don't wanna lose any data. Since I'm not rooted, nor do have plans to root, I can create a backup through Kies and then factory reset, yes? Hopefully someone can shed some light on mine and the OP's questions.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] clouds5:
As a general rule one could say : you don't have to reset but if you run into problems you know what's the reason for them.

Here's what I've been doing for the past 4 years with android. Change in version (4.2-> 4.3): I wipe. New firmware within same version (4.3-> 4.3) I don't wipe. Works for me :) But I'm always rooted and have full backups.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] nyjohn:

I may have to do the factory reset and update to KK 4.4.2 again. I am running into battery charging problem. Normally it took only about 6 hours to get 100%. Now it took 8 hours to get only 60%. Any one have any idea?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] nabour:
I have a noticeable issue with Kitkat with both charging and battery drain. I tried factory reset and that didn't help much. Also got an app from playstore called Battery Calibration. Ran it last night. So far it seems to have helped a little.

I have been able to pinpoint that the drain happens quickly whenever I am using the wifi. I've checked all the settings over and over.

This is of no help to you.... but you are not alone with the issue.

Barbara

PS -- I recall with my old smartphones it was suggested (when flashing a new rom) that rom needed to settle for a or so before battery was stable. Not sure if that is true or not, but it's my last resort.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] TabGuy:
I noticed the same thing. However, I turned the Note completely off last night and let it charge 8 hours and it only went from 21% to 65%. So, if it's completely turned off the operating system should have no involvement with the charging process. KitKat should have nothing to do with it.

So, this morning I tried a different charger and, while it was still powered on, it went from 62% to 76% in about an hour. So, I'm no longer concerned.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] jimaginet:
What? 8 hours of charging you only got 44%. That is really bad.

Before KK 4.4.2 update, my Note 10.1 2014 took 6.5 hrs to charge from 0% to 100%. It has a lot to do witk KK I m sure.

I just did the factory reset. Drain the battery to 5%. Turn it off and charge again. Will let you guy know soon.

I think it is the best option. I did my OTA update as soon as I received the notification. The tablet run a lot faster. Much better than version 4.3. But this morning I found out I have a problem with charging. It took to long to charge. So I decided to do the factory reset. Hopefully it will fix the problem.

Thank you Barbara, it seems to be fine after I did factory reset. Used the tablet for about 5 hours (the battery went down from 80% to 5% in 5 hrs). Then I shut down to charge. It actually charged to 100% in about 5 hrs 15 minutes.

Make sure that if and when you charge to make sure you use at last a 2A charger and proper voltage. Also some homes might have light switches that turn off power for instance. Silly little things and please ppl these are smart batteries you do not need to drain them down, only thing worth mentioning is to charge for at least 15 minutes or more. If any other behavior call Samsung and have them fix your hardware.

Hello, anybody tried the Logitech PRO keyboard (for the Note PRO 12.2) or Logitech Ultrathin keyboard on the Note 10.1 2014. Do they work? Of course the keyboards cannot be a case for the 10.1 2014. Other than that, do they fit physically?

I am considering the situation that I choose the 10.1 2014 for portability. When I know that I will need to type lots of stuff, bring a full-size keyboard with me.

How or where do I unlock one of these phone to use it on att network .. I'm on California .... help please .. the from from att has the lock s*****
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] risestar2:
Buy the phone from T-Mobile, unlock it via on of the reliable online unlocking services, unlock the phone. If you have an existing AT&T account with LTE, its easy as slipping in the sim. If not, its a little trickier, AT&T will generally restrict non-AT&T phones to 3G/4G --> No LTE. If you are activating a new account, you will need to provide them an IMEI from an AT&T branded phone with LTE, they will then provision your account for LTE service. Some people use a fiends old AT&T LTE phone, or from another source.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] seattleboi1982:
Actually, it shows up as a SM-G900T and i do get LTE after i gave them my IMEI. you do, however, have to manually enter in the APN settings:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mocsab:
I have a TMOBILE S5 - I didnt' want to wait for the "Free way" of unlocking a sim card so I purchased the code form a web site that offers this - there may be a free way to do this sometime soon - but I didn;t have the patience to wait - do a GOOGLE SEARCH - you'll find several that offer this service.

I have no restrictions on my phone - 3G/4G/LTE - awesome speeds on ATT LTE network - =
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] risestar2:
If you have an existing AT&T account, its easy. The trickier part is if you are a new customer, the T-Mobile S5 IMEI wont be registered in their database as an LTE device, so it will default to non-LTE speeds.

Some people have had success with really helpful non-corporate AT&T stores at adding the non AT&T branded phone into the database, but most won't and so you need to get creative. You'd probably have better luck convincing an independent dealer to do this, like a mall kiosk etc. as they will want the commission from the activation. Some people have had luck using the IMEI from a demo phone at the store (Can be from any LTE device), or a friends old device etc.

The key is that it needs to be an AT&T branded LTE phone so your account can be correctly provisioned with LTE, otherwise you will be stuck in 4G land. Another way you can do it is also to call in later and switch the IMEI to an AT&T LTE device, get the account provisioned and then put the sim in the T-Mobile S5.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] seattleboi1982:
That's not true, it does register as an LTE device. i gave them my IMEI off the T-mobile Galaxy S5 and they added it to the biller, and then asked them what does it show up as in the biller, they read it off as a Samsung SM-G900T. not a Samsung SM-G900A. Heck, even my Nexus 5 shows up as it should as a LG D820, which is the model.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Jtrain88:
Well just to let everyone know. I bought an unlock code from unlockfusion and 48 hours later it still hasn't arrived but I bought one from cellunlocker.net and my phone is now unlocked
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] risestar2:
Yes, if they add your IMEI into their system, you are fine. Many stores and CSR's will not do this however, in which case you need to figure out a workaround. Stores are paid a higher commission for selling and activating a branded phone that they are for an unlocked off network device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] seattleboi1982:
and I'm kinda surprised, BYOD is a very big thing right now. possibly just some shady reps or stores, CSR's should be able to do it with no issues.

For this that are using the T-Mobile S5 on AT&T. Sounds like LTE and everything is working well. My question is, for this who have rooted and using different roms. Have you seen the lag go away?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
Those using T-Mobile's S5 on AT&T, can you comment on reception, preferably LTE?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Christopher3712:
There is virtually no difference from my old SM-G900A to my new SM-G900T. I'm using a custom ROM (see signature) with zero reception issues. My LTE is 24Mbps down and 11Mbps up. That's out in the boonies where I work, it's usually better at home.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] slimc84:
I pulled 25mbps down and 14mbps up in Knoxville TN. If you are in a weak signal area it does seem to drop signal a little more frequently.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
you can install any rom for your device as long as you meet the following-

a)if you are flashing a kk rom(g pro 2/flex kk/stock kk) then you just just have to either be on kk with recovery or flash the kk baseband for your device

b)if on kk and you want to flash jb rom(stock jb/flex jb) you need to flash the jb baseband at the same time as you flash the rom

c)if you want to flash an aosp rom you either check if it supports stock kk/if it doesn't mention anything flash a kk ported baseband for aosp kk or flash a jb baseband while flashing aosp rom

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksavai:
as far as I know N4 have digitizer and screen combined so both will be replaced. otherwise too your screen is cracked so need replacement and touch is not working so need to change digitizer too. i think that costs around 100$

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nnorton44:
Figured it out...

If your phone is on, turn it off.

Press & hold the Volume Down button, and then press & hold the Power button simultaneously until the device turns on. You'll see the word "Start" with an arrow drawn around it.

Press the Volume Down button twice to highlight Recovery mode.

Press the Power button to restart into Recovery mode. You'll see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark.

While holding down the Power button, press the Volume Up button.

Use the volume buttons to scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and press the Power button to select it.

Scroll down to "Yes - erase all user data" and press the Power button to select it.

Note: If at any point during the above steps your phone becomes unresponsive, you can restart it by holding down the Power button for several seconds.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maestro_0062@yahoo.com:
I have a VZW LG G2 - with (as far as I can remember) Jelly Bean. I actually had TWRP recovery installed on it via FreeGee, but, for some reason, could never get it to boot into it.

Now - I got the message that KK is available OTA, so I figure - fine, I'll have it installed and then deal with rooting later.

Here is the bad part - it said, "rebooting device" (right after I clicked on Install), and booted into TWRP recovery. I can't get it past it - and (of course), I don't have any backup on the phone....

So, I figure that I perhaps could download the IMG file and install it via TWRP. Fine. Except that when I connect the phone to the usb (Windows 8.1 64-bit), nothing doing. Does not come up in the list of devices.
