Well congrats.. you made it to the Q&A. There's 100 views and no replies and I'm sure they're just rolling their eyes in terms of why you couldn't just search or bother to look at the General section where there's actually a sticky (Just saying).. If you're not tech savvy enough to learn how to root your phone then you're going to have a hell a lot of a tough time knowing all the terms when it comes to rooting.

-You can root your phone and use titanium back up to back up all your data/app or log into your google account and go to my apps and look at your dl history and dl them again

I'm confused of why you're shying away from keeping the note 3 and going to the m8 just because you're tired of touch wiz (am i reading that right?)

And in my experience, you should use kingo root to root your 4.3 device. There's pros and cons, misconceptions, and skepticism about the app. In the end it's your decision.

And here's a wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_rooting if you want to learn more about what rooting is.

Last tip of advice is looking through all the rom threads and looking at each developers work and features if you want to explore what you can do with your phone when rooted.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehosh:
Hi all,

I've got an Sony xperia z and recently the touchscreen broke so the only input my phone has is the volume buttons, and the power button. I've called up my insurance company and they've agreed to replace it. My problem is that I need my data backed up before I send it off to my insurance company, but I've no idea how I can do so. It isn't rooted at the moment (running 4.3 stock). What can I do to back up my data? If possible also back up app data?

I'm quite confident with CLI if required and also happy to root it if required as long as there is a way to do so WITHOUT interacting with the touchscreen (as currently nothing is captured by it). USB debugging is already on.

Also I've already got Teamviewer QuickSupport installed, so if there's a way to temporarily control it until I can get it started, that's also possible.

Thanks in advance!

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jimmietilt:
I installed the OTA for kit kat and my phone lost touch control as some other threads are stating. I tried everything, odin , side loading and nothing worked so i went to device center with my active that is no longer under warranty. As soon as i told the representative that i have the active and i did kit kat update he said "and your touch screen doesn't work?" He told me they had tons of people come in today for that issue. I always look on xda first when i have a phone problem so i just wanted to write this post to warn people not to do ota because this could happen, and also for people dealing with this it is a known issue and the device center knows about it.. This guy was awesome btw he even swapped out my battery and gave me the new back cover. Its the little things in life:laugh:

How could it be out of warranty? The phone came out in June and it carries a one year warranty. That is assuming you didn't void it somehow...
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jimmietilt:
Thats what i thought! It does have a one year warranty right? I was talking to a rep from att on their online chat service and she was saying that it was only a 3 month warranty which didn't seem right to me. She also told me that the unresponsive touch screen was not a "known issue". I said to her, its only been out a couple of days it can still be an issue with the update. I wasnt gonna bring up warranty with the guy at the device center. As soon as he came walking out with a shiny new (refurbished) active i was very happy and keep my mouth shut.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DopeShow:
OK my problem is I have the tab 3 10.1 with a 64gb micro SD card in it and the only way to root is to put a smaller SD card in because for some reason it can't read the 64gb micro SD card and when I want to make a backup in cwm it says it can't mount the 64gb micro SD card but if I use anything smaller everything works fine so my question is, is there a work around or some way to Make my tab 3 mount the micro SD because I'd like to install other roms and stuff but I'm not going to I till I can make a backup first. Also with the 64gb card in my tab 3 everything else works like watching videos stored on the SD or music on the SD, anyways any help with this issue would be much appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitro_123:
you MIGHT have better luck if you format the SD card in some other file system. Other than that I'm not sure :(

You could buy an 8 gig one and swap it too :)

Have you tried both recoveries? CWM and TWRP if neither work you may have to format to fat32.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DopeShow:
Yes I've tried every recovery out there and with cwm it does this count down from 10 that says connecting then after it gets to 1 it says aborted because it cannot mount the micro SD and yes its formated to fat32 and I've tried exfat and every other format nothing works, and in my first post when I said I couldn't root from the micro SD I mean by going into cwm and loading zip file from there it does the same thing and says it can't connect, that's why everytime I root my device this way I have to borrow a 32gb micro SD and everything works fine
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jake0125:
Same problem with my 64g card. MY 16g works great. Cant seem to get the 64g formatted in either my phone or the Tab3. I can sometimes get the Tab3 to recognize the card and it will show the files on the memory card but once I go into recovery there is nothing there.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DopeShow:
My 64gb card is recognized while the device is in regular running mode like I can go into settings and then storage and see the card there and how much space is used and free the Only time the card doesn't work right is when I'm in recovery mode because for some reason in recovery mode the system says it can't mount it and that is my whole problem, I need a way to fix it so my 64gb card can be mounted and used while in recovery mode.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VIRGIN KLM:
It's either a recovery issue or a driver/kernel/bootloader issue, a case that the Tab 3 10.1 development is far from being active.

It looks like it can't allocate space that exceeds 32GiB.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brian D:
My thoughts...

Running the tab in normal mode allows the 64gb card to be read. However, if you start in CWM or TWRP recovery, you are no longer in the "normal" mode and the tab does not recognize the 64gb card. In recovery mode, it is possible that the memory allocations are limited where as in normal mode, 64gb is OK.

In this case, for rooting, maybe you should load the root file on internal memory and not the memory card. I use 4gb cards and neither CWM or TWRP could work with them. I think the issue is in the recovery programs and not the Tab, save for memory limitations set by the base firmware.

Again, JMHO and I may be way out in left field here.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GorillaPimp:
TWRP after 2.4 supports exfat. What version are you using? Many people have posted that TWRP 2.7.0.0 has hosed sd support and people have posted earlier versions like 2.6.*.* and now 2.7.0.1 work fine. I'm guessing you've were trying a broken version.

Your phone is a computer running the linux operating system. Hardware works by way of software called drivers that allow the system to communicate with various devices like drives and radios. The drivers in linux are built into the kernel which is the heart of the system or they are loaded as modules. When building a kernel you can add or subtract any number of various drivers you may or may not need into the system. The stock Samsung kernel has the various file system (fat32, exfat, ext3, etc) drivers built into it and that's why your sd card is recognized and works fine within the Samsung custom Android operating system you're running. TWRP and other recovery systems are bare bones operating systems that you load in order to perform maintenance functions like loading firmware or running backups. When the devs for TWRP compiled their kernel (processed all the changes to their new kernel and made it ready to operate) for version 2.7.0.0 they screwed up by either leaving out support for cards of a certain size, file systems of a certain size, support for certain filesystems or used experimental buggy drivers. This is why your card doesnt work in recovery.

You should try a different version of the recovery you desire. You might also want to try formatting the sdcard as another filesystem like ext4. The CWM thread for your tablet xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2432467 says that 64gb support is very buggy and that CWM is not being worked on anymore for your device. Some people say it works for them though. Page 1 of the TWRP thread for your device (which is final on version 2.7 which may mean his last build killed 64gb support) mentions earlier versions working with 64gb cards. You may want to ask people posting early in the thread if they have an early version they could upload for you.

If you own a mac or linux system or burn a linux cd( ubuntu live cd) you could format your 64gb microsd as ext3 or ext4 and it should have no issue unless it's a problem with the capacity of the microsd in which case you could try to create one partition on the microsd card of say 25gb. That could work if partition size and not disk capacity is the problem.

Those seem to be your options along with just buying a 32gb, 16gb, 8gb, 4gb, 2gb card to root with. Memory is getting cheaper and images to flash ROMs and recoveries are generally small. You could probably buy one in your local drug store for $5. If money isn't tight, there's your easiest solution. You could borrow a smaller card from someone too if money is tight. They are pretty common in phones going back 6 years now. If you want to learn more about your phone and get hands on experience try another method above.

Good luck. Hope you get it going.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DopeShow:
yes ive tried multiple recovery's and they all do the same thing and cannot read the 64gb micro sd and yes I have my sd formatted to fat32 and I am on windows on my laptop but I can format the micro sd to ext3 or 4 but my question is, if I do that and its formatted to ext3 will I still be able to access my tablets drive space through my laptop like I can now with it being on fat32, because if I cant then that would be pointless for me to do because then I wouldn't be able to add and take things off my sd while its in my tablet., also I said in my first post that this problem doesn't happen using a smaller micro sd like 32 or smaller it only happens with the 64gb, so it has to do with the size some how
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DopeShow:
also IDK if you know this but there isn't many recovery's out there for the galaxy tab 3 10.1 the only one I use is bindroid_cwm_p5210_santos10wifi and even with this recovery it has a slight lag to it when using it.

I agree slider rules. I may not have my PLAY anymore, but I still consider it to be the best gaming phone around. At least as far as emulators. I was able to run MC4 at 35-40fps by using app quarantine to kill all apps except mc4 the launcher and keyboard. And over clock to 1.4 with performance on lupus kernel. Game flew.

Looks really cool, would be nice if they did make a module like that
[Xperia Play General] Spizzy01:
Lol ozzmanj1... You always bring us the juiciest of the news, even if it is a concept.

If people are looking into such possibilities, Project Ara might end up being the place to go after the Play.

Perhaps add extra battery capacity in the controller too? Or space for more Ara modules... Just a few ideas. lol.

On another note, Ara is going to be epic - been following it closely for a while now ever since PhoneBlocks.

Hello everyone,

This is my first post and as I can not ask [MENTION=4767403]abhi922[/MENTION] on his thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49779385) I am going to do it by this one.

I own a Samsung Galaxy S Duos but it is the Latin American version (GT S-7562L). Both devices are exactly the same except for their frequency bands. While S-7562 version 3G HSDPA frequencies are 900 / 2100, the S-7562L frequencies for 3G HSDPA are 850 / 1900. Is there any possibility to change it?

My final goal is to install Cosmic ROM on my device but as I know it is not possible due to this limitation.

PD: If anyone knows how to do this or what can I do, answers are welcome!

Now I want to know if there is any way to make [MENTION=4767403]abhi922[/MENTION]'s ROM work on my device. If I am not wrong and my understanding is correct it depends on Kernel. Just having a compatible Kernel could make the ROM works without network problems?

I think it is a hardware problem as on my first 2 v1605's when I looked at the screen when it was off I could see my face at the top and a second time at the bottom of the screen. On my third and at the moment perfect one there is only one pefect reflection. Keyboard is also perfect on this one and it runs faster and seems more stable generally. Keyboard aslo clicks into place much more positively in and out. All have had exactly the same software versions as above and loaded software was the same as they were restored from backups. Even A2DP works properly on this one. Seems to me that there may be a few dodgy ones floating about.

I have my second htc tytn now and for the second time i have screen alignment problems. it ran fine for almost a week but a couple of days ago it started again.

i tried to switch the usb to pc checkbox off but i got an error message telling me that it failed. the message said something about rndis and serial.

when i was looking what this message could be, i thought could there be something with a serial port. my thoughts went to bluetooth virtual serial ports. i deleted the two bt serial ports i had created an then i was able to switch this checkbox off.

then it came to my mind that the screen alignment problems began about the moment when i just had created a second virtual bt port for another bt gps a couple of days ago.

since you guys found a connection between the alignment and the usb to pc checkbox, i just found a relation between this checkbox and the bt serial ports. Is it possible that there is a connection between the bt serial ports and the alignment problem?

is there anybody who could confirm on this?
