[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lhuge:
Hi - I'm a semi-noob with this phone and Android in general (long-time iPhone JB'er finally saw the light), so sorry for any ignorance/stupidity in what follows...

HTC One, on T-Mobile

Android 4.3 SW# 3.24.531.3

Baseband vsn: 4A.21.3263.03_10.38m.1157.04L

Rooted, Unlocked, S-OFF

I was traveling on St Martin (French Caribbean) where T-Mobile gives free data roaming, so I turned on roaming and everything was fine - cell service, cell data, wifi all clearly working properly. After several days, I noticed no cell service or 3G indicator, but my wife's T-Mobile iPhone had full bars and 3G service. I waited a while, and (I *believe*) data & cell service came back on once for a while, but then failed again and have not returned to health since then (it's been about a week). Wifi works fine. When I tried to find a signal I would get "Error Searching for Networks". I thought maybe it had to do with roaming, but when I returned home (USA) I still had no cell signal/data.

I've tried rebooting, turning Data roaming on and off, Airplane mode on and off, all choices of Network mode, power off for a long time while charging, a couple other more obscure suggestions that I can't remember. I have not tried reverting to Stock or flashing a radio.

In poking around in settings:

IMEI: [normal] (this is different from several other people reporting similar problems)

Network Mode: GSM / WCDMA / LTE Auto

Operator: Unknown

Signal Strength: 0

Mobile network type: Unknown

Service State: Radio Off

Roaming: Not roaming

I've seen several posts here and on Android Forums with similar problems, but never quite a match - always a different phone and/or they are now missing their IMEI, which is not true for me and seems significant.

I never dropped the phone in water or anything, but I was traveling and it's possible it got more humidity than normal (one thread suggested water damage as a likely culprit).

Is there anything for me to do before (A) flashing a radio, (B) returning it to stock, (C) taking it to T-Mobile and hoping they'll fix it (still under warranty)? I haven't flashed a radio before, but it sounds like it's straightforward - if you have any suggestions, let me know.

I have an OTA update available to 4.4.2 - is it likely that would help me? And if I do that how much damage control will I have to do to get back to rooted/unlocked/S-OFF status?

Someone with a different phone said they removed their battery for a couple of hours and all was fine, but I'm scared to try to remove my battery, especially if I might have to take it for warranty repair.

Thanks for any guidance you can provide, and let me know if I should post any more info...

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Have you tried to switch on radio manually? Dial *#*#4636#*#* ---> phone info ---> there is a switch to turn on/off radio

OTA update won't affect bootloader (unlocked and S-OFF). You might loose root but you can re-root after the update. Don't forget you need stock recovery to update. If you are going to send your phone for repair, you'll have to S-ON, remove tampered flag and Lock (no re-lock) the bootloader or your warranty will be invalid. You can only s-on on hboot 1.44 or 1.54 so you'll have to downgrade first.

Do not attempt to remove the battery yourself on the M7, bad idea if you are planning to send the phone under warranty.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lhuge:
[SOLVED]

Oh my freaking gawd, thank you. It actually didn't work at first - the button just read "turn off radio" (as if it was currently on), and tapping it didn't seem to cause any change. Kind of on a whim, I changed "preferred network type" from "WCDMA preferred" to "LTE Only", went out to settings to see if anything had changed, turned off WiFi, came back to the phone info page, clicked "turn radio off" again, and then I noticed that numbers on the screen were moving, and I had 4G/LTE and full bars again. I've switched back to "WCDMA preferred" and everything seems fine, but I don't know whether that's the right choice out of a long list of options - it's just what was there to start with.

I feel silly that it was so simple, but I didn't know about that testing screen. Thanks a ton.

Roger that, fears confirmed. Thanks again

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azurren:
Hi guys,

After updating from a March nightly to the latest Cyanogenmod nightly I've been experiencing the worst batterylife I have ever had!

I mean, seriously. Charge it up at night, place it by my bed and it's completely dead in the morning!

So it loses 100% battery overnight, with no usage whatsoever

I've tried beanstalk (Also Cyanogenmod based) and experienced the exact same issue. A full wipe and a brand new Cyanogenmod update and it's exactly the same.

I really can't return to stock as I'm making use of a lot of Cyanogenmods features.

The wakelocks are:

As reported by BetterBatteryStats:

Msm_hsic_host

And also a msm_camera wakelock poped up at the top of the list once.

Needless to say "Android OS" tops my battery usage screen with over 90% usage :(

Is anyone else experiencing the same issues? Anyone know a fix?

I'm basically without a phone right now
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsteppa:
I've got the same issue here, but for me it's caused by Google services. At times my battery drains within 4 hours, even if I don't use the phone.

But at some times (most of the times) the phone just acts normal.

Before 4.3 I never had this problem, waiting for 4.4, hope that my problem will be gone. Else I'll just go back to 4.2
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azurren:
Aha! Success!

I have found the issue, I'll post it here if anyone else is having the same issue. Not sure if it'll help you though Dsteppa as your problem seems slightly different to mine :(

Although I would recommend "freezing" google maps as a starting point. See if that helps! Many android devices suffer from a similar problem, chances of it helping you is about 70%. If you're rooted it's relatively easy to do using apps from the playstore :)

Msm_hsic_host is used to "mount" the 3g modem as a usb device.. At least that's what I've gathered from various sources. Some phones have a kernel issue which stops the modem from being "unmounted" when data sending/receiving has been completely and thus drains the battery.

Turns out Msm_hsic_host was working as intended. It was actually an app which was apparently steaming data in real time, forcing the 3g modem to remain at full power and preventing the phone from sleeping. The unusual thing is that this app claimed it only consumed less than 3% and didn't even show on Better Battery Stats!

Uninstalling the app instantly solved my battery power issues! So for anyone experiencing similar issues, check for any apps which could be using "realtime" streaming; Such as third party Twitter / Facebook or even Email apps.

Hope this helps!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokonuk:
Hi,

I installed this SBF using RSDLite: DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_ND_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B80AA004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTNORD_P011_A013_Service1FF.sbf.gz, (GB Nordic SBF).

Then installed Framaroot 1.4.1, rooted the phone using Gimli exploit, said root successful.

Then installed 2ndInit 2.4, said install successful.

Rebooted two times, went to custom recovery, everything seemed ok. Wiped data/cache/system using AromaWiper.

Then installed the latest fixed CM7 (cm-7-20130710-UNOFFICIAL-jordan_plus-signed.zip).

Upon reboot, the phone is stuck in bootloop. I'm still able to enter the custom recovery, so I guess 2ndinit worked, but installing the aforementioned CM7 results in bootloop.

I tried scanning through the All-in-One guide here, but couldn't really pinpoint what exactly is my problem. Could someone help, what would be the steps to take to get my phone running CM7? I'm able to flash SBF and at least seemingly flash zips via custom recovery, but I suspect there is something wrong in there since the flashed zips don't seem to work.

EDIT: If anyone can help? Is it that 2ndinit was installed badly? Reinstall from SBF, re-root, pay more attention to 2ndinit install?

In the All-in-One guide I find some problems with 2ndInit and talk about GoAPK SystemRecovery? Would that help?

I upgraded my phone to the newest ROM available on the site, 2.26, and my data connections are no longer interrupted by incoming phone calls. It worked like this before-- and I kind of need the functionality since I use the phone to test media streaming a lot.

I've been working with T-mobile, and they've been less than helpful, and eventually decided to send me a new phone. I only recently found this website, and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas.

I searched around a bit on the forum, but I haven't found anything. Any ideas?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exad:
You won't be able to flash firmware with S-ON Though I doubt you would need to flash any firmware files anyway. Are you using a custom recovery? Philz TWRP or whatevs?

Did you not make a nandroid?

If not, your best bet is to either flash a custom rom or download one of the nandroids from This thread. There's a good chance the one for your carrier is there. Check your CID and match it up to one of the nandroid's there or request a nandroid for you don't see it listed but really want stock.

to check cid boot to bootloader/fastboot mode and use:

fastboot oem readcid

or

fastboot getvar cid

If you wouldn't mind telling me what your CID is, I would really like to know so I can match CIDs to carriers to better help people in the future.

Then you can just copy the nandroid to the proper location and restore it in the custom recovery.

No it won't. The only way to remove those is with S-off and spoofing them. There are a few guides about it in the general forum section. As for stock recovery, I'm not sure what recovery versions match up with what carriers.. If you can obtain an ota zip file for your carrier you can extract the recovery.img from it.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bixorastexante:
I guys, today I tried to Wireless Charge while using the USB-OTG to copy some files (practically, it makes sense for me, since there is no need to connect the cable to the Nexus, we could be using that port to USB-OTG and charge at the same time).

I was surprised when it didn't work. I can't understand why would they implement this. Since it's not charging from cable, it could be charging by wireless...

It's not a defect from mine, right?

Anyway, thanks for your attention.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charesa39:
It's not a defect. You need a custom kernel that supports Qi Charging while using USB OTG if you want that.

Are you sure it's a kernel limitation? Do you know any that supports it?

May not be a hardware limitation. But probably a very low priority for implementation
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3DSammy:
One way I've try to offset this limitation is to plug my OTG cable into a powered USB hub. All attached USB devices use the hub for power greatly reducing the battery drain on the phone/tablet.

Rooted wifi version with slimkat rom and Franco kernel. Guys hello, so I have bought nexus December. First months okay. All is fine but recently it got strange in battery department. I can barely squeeze 4 hours of screen time. I got everything in terms of background apps running. No drops of the tablet or hits or anything. Brightness is at 15/20 percent all time. Should I blame the rom?Should I flash other rom or go to default software and return it since it's under warranty. I never read any complains bout my problem over Internet so I'm asking here.

Do you have the deb or the flo?

What are you using to identify which apps are running in the background (i.e. an app)?

If it's not a rogue application or wakelock, I would probably try flashing a different kernel and test it out for a couple days. If your problem persists, I would flash stock and use it for a week. I always recommend flashing to stock so you can get a reliable baseline to compare it too. If you are on stock and still exhibit the same problem, I would play the warranty card.

That's at least what I would do.

Caseology has a lot of sale on their TPU cases, but I haven't found any good reviews by anyone who has a S3. So does anything have these cases? How does it compare to other TPU cases like Diztronic?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mitch815:
I have one, its matte black with a rough texture on the back, its a great case. It protects the phone very well. My only gripe in the back of the case is unusually thick. You would think that the back needs the least amount of protection. I would recommend it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] schetz:
I like the looks of the case but I fear lip around screen is not too big(based on Amazon reviews).. Been searching for another TPU case to replace my Zoogue case from time to time but I havent found any TPU slim case that has a lip as good as Zoogue :(

Could it be possible for you to take a picture with your phone in the case that shows lip size ?

Also, how does it feel in hand, slippery or not ?

Thnx in advance :good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Feeshie:
Thanks, it looks good. You mentioned that the back is thick, is the overall case really thick though?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mitch815:
The feel in hands is great I have no complaints for that the textured grip adds for great stability, also if your like me, some cases make it impossible to put in pockets, my case fits fine. No shoving in pockets required it just slides in like butter.

The lip on the phone is not super thick but it does provide enough thickness so your phone's screen isn't flat on the surface if the screen is facing down. The lip covers the metal bezel on the front, it doesn't cover any of the glass.

The back is thick yes, I don't think it needs to be. I think the main reason is the place you can put a business card in case your phone is lost.

Sorry if photos are blurry used my newest old phone Samsung galaxy s 4g only has 5 megapixels
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kola1228:
I personally think this is a terrible case. The back is super thick and there is virtually no lip in the front. I bought it and returned it.
