[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spuniun:
I tried to add a new IPSec VPN profile today and after saving the preshared key I was prompted to enter the Credential Storage password, which I have never setup. Anything I enter fails; I can keep trying indefinitely and it never prompts to reset credential storage.

Looking in Settings > Security > Credential Storage shows Storage type is "Backup to hardware" and not changeable and Clear credentials is also grayed out.

Why can't I create local credential storage secured by my own password with this device?

EDIT: So I found the workaround, but not really an answer to the credential storage issue:

http://www.pocketables.com/2014/02/fix-credential-storage-roadblock-android.html

Essentially, Credential Storage forces you to use PIN or Password unlock options only, but you must disable all unlock options first and run something that requests credential storage to enable it. If you set PIN or Password unlock yourself and try to enable credential storage in VPN it will fail. Thankfully I don't need to use VPN from device really so i can go back to Fingerprint unlock, but hopefully this helps someone else in the future.

I've tried it repeatedly, all with same results. Not sure how to resolve it yet
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spuniun:
By the way, I brought this issue to both Samsung and Verizon support and their only answers were to perform a factory reset.

Lesson learned: I'm better at supporting my device than the manufacturer and carrier combined.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] njdevils28:
Hi All,

I have a Rooted GS5 and I'm 1.5 miles from a 4G Tower (Not LTE). My Download is in the mid to high teens (18Mbs)and my upload is sub 1 (0.5Mbs). I had to change my APN Settings from IPv6 to IPv4/IPv6 in order to even get any reception. When I use just IPv4 I get almost no up or down and when I use 6, I get no up and very slow down.

Does anyone else get this issue? Any thoughts on what I can do to improve things.

I got the Information on the cell tower from T-Mobile. I called them to see if there was a network issue and they said no issues were found. They knocked my SIM off the network and had me re-boot the phone but nothing helped. They logged a case and made a note that if the situation does not improve in the next few days that I can return my phone without a penalty.

Trouble is I have a Rooted phone and Knox is tripped so I don't think they will cover anything.

Thanks for your time,

-NJ

While rooting my 4.4 kk Verizon g2 I had to backup my own EFS using the command provided in the ioroot25 post. While looking through that folder I noticed there is also a file called "recovery". Can I use the same command and just change the file name and backup that file as well? The code was:

Also is that the stock recovery? I feel it would be useful to have a backup of the stock recovery to flash if needed.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kamau54:
3 days ago, my N3 took a dive into the toilet and was in it for about 20 seconds (it was on, but asleep). It had the Otterbox case on it, though the bottom flap for the usb cable was open. I took it out, took out the battery and the cards, and put it in a zip lock bag full of rice. That's where it's been for 2 days.

Today, I took it out and placed everything back in and powered it up. Everything went normally, but there is intermittent screen flickering, some very slight, and some very noticeable. So my question is, has it been permanently damaged, or is this normal after being in water? I have taken the battery back out for now. Also, would it be advisable to remove the cover to expose the inside and maybe blow it some more in case the rice dust could be causing the problems?

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440bro:
Well I hope you washed it, before drying it. Ewwwwww! Honestly you should throw it away. At&t insurance, and warranty departments won't touch a device that's been in the toilet and also advise throwing it away.

I think screen flickering after being wet is normal if you're lucky. Usually it goes into brick mode. It may improve over time, or it could get worse? Water damage is sooooo unpredictable.

Since its wet and warranty is screwed, it would be very advisable to tear it apart (gently)! You have nothing to lose now. I'm almost certain there's moisture in there somewhere. It might even be between a connector causing your flicker.

Sorry if I brought ya bad news, and sorry your phone's acting up. I hope it dries out and works. And I also hope it doesn't have any poo bits left in it!!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kamau54:
Well, when it fell in, the toilet hadn't been used in a while. It was clean water that it fell into (clean as can be in a toilet).

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eagle0042:
I definitely agree that the phone is toast. Maybe not today, or tomorrow, but it will never be the same.

However, I believe that AT&T insurance will cover water damage. Warranty won't, but insurance will. I'm not sure if the OP had insurance on it or not, but I just wanted to clarify that point.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kamau54:
I didn't have insurance, as I've never had to use it. I take great care in my phones, and normally have people waiting to buy my old one when I get a new one. Even in this instance, it was a deliberate act, and not an accident.

In any case, I was afraid of that. Thanks for the heads up.

If my wife did that to my phone, for any reason, she'd go in with it. I paid MY hard earned money for it. I'm not a child and will not be punished like one.

To the person saying to throw it away. You are insane. All that has to be done is drying the device out completely. And it will normally be as good as it was out of the box. Even if it was completely broken, you don't throw it away. You sell it for parts to recoup some of what you put into it.

I have never thrown a device away after water damage or even after smashing it. There is always something to be made from it. It is a $700 phone. If you want to throw it away, that's you. But don't tell others to do it. Some people don't have the money to just buy another.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440bro:
People actually buy parts after being treated with toilet water? They are nuts! Or it isn't advertised as a poo ridden device. I don't know why anyone would want to hold poo bacteria to their face and talk on the phone. Yuk! I don't have the money to go buy a new one either. Which is why I got the insurance! So yes. Call me crazy because I will throw this phone away if it falls in the toilet. But I want you to go up to your friends and say "my phone fell in the toilet. Will you make a phone call with it?" And then see if they don't think you're crazy. Lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrkhigh:
Not to sound gross... But there are less sanitary things you probably do several times a day than using a phone from a fresh clean water toilet.

For instance brushing your teeth with your tooth brush.

Seriously those things are one step below the sponge you wash your dishes with.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandman7793:
Stop using phone. Take it apart. Heat motherboard with heat gun. 180 degrees Fahrenheit. (no more then that, use temp gun, don't stay in one spot with heat gun for more then 5 seconds, after heated let sit to cool down without touching it) When finished, clean gentle with acetone and tooth brush(soft kind). Brush light coat of electronic Flux. Put back together.

I take no responsibility if you melt you motherboard. This is not for the faint of heart.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:
Most people don't know how to pull the phone apart, and even half of the people that do, don't have a heat gun. (Me). While it is a great option, it is definitely not the option for everyone.

He'll, most people don't even know what Flux is or where to get acetone. Especially oil free acetone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 440bro:
Flux left on circuits is a very bad thing!

---------- Post added at 10:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 AM ----------

Acetone isn't good for plastic. It will melt it!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:
Flux and acetone are fine. However, Flux is not needed.

Acetone wouldn't be used on the plastic. Just the mobo. It also evaporates at a faster rate than 97% isopropyl alcohol. It is perfectly safe to use.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandman7793:
Sorry about that. I used the Flux first before heat gun. That way solder don't get dried out. And then the acetone cleans it off. I've never done this on a phone. Have done it on other electronics. (I make sure I use a water proof case) . Sometimes this works sometimes it don't. But as was stated, what's there to lose unless a miracle happened and the phones good. I just know if there's water inside, it won't come out on its own.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:
Thank you for clearing that up. I see the purpose of the Flux.

It is a great idea, and does work. I have done similar things to reflow Xbox 360s and dry out phones in the oven.

It's not always 100% but I have had a very high success rate.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altrikdout21:
What graydiggy said, dry it out completely. Must be some water in there.

Personally I'd just throw it in the rice for a bit--sometimes though, moisture is really stuck at which point I use a vacuum to get it out. Careful of small parts though.

Spilled olive oil all over my phone a while back. Worst thing ever. Vacuum was my only option.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sireniankyle:
I'd do something soon. The longer the moisture is in there, the more damage it can do. Specifically corrosion.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deV14nt:
Whatever you do, don't keep using it if you think there's water in it. Sending current the wrong way (a short) is a good way to fry something permanently, if it hasn't already happened. That likely would not be an intermittent problem though, so hopefully you're still good for now.
[ONE Original Android Development] mark manning:
The following are rules for Original Development

- Official releases of highly original and upstream custom ROMs (built from the ground up with significant original development within them

- Official releases/development of such original ROMs, perhaps posted by the maintainer or their nominated person.

- A significant “first” in development for a device. Significant is subjective, but it is likely something which took considerable time/effort, and is generally accepted by developers to be significant and non-trivial.

- Kernels which are built with beneficial changes that are not simply pulled from other kernels already available. Some element of original work is expected.

- Tools and utilities with a clear purpose, and which are well-made, and useful to users. They should have an element of originality, either in purpose or through significant improvement in the means of operation.

- Significant port of a ROM from one device to another, giving enhanced features or functionality to users of the target device. The port should be beneficial (a port from two virtually identical devices isn’t original development, it’s winzipping, and nobody really benefits from this, as it’s not development)

The following are most likely not “Original Development”, and should be posted in the “Android Development” subforum:

- Your own “unofficial” stock build of your favorite original, source-built (or otherwise) ROM, particularly where an official or maintainer-endorsed thread exists already.

- Minor derivatives of other ROMs with little or no changes, or ROMs consisting of “placebo” features as a main constituent or claim.

- Renames or re-badges of others’ work – these don’t belong on XDA at all! Refer to rule 12 for more information.

- Reposts of existing ROMs with small changes (i.e. kitchen work, such as adding a couple of apps). If you could realistically distribute your changes as an “add-on pack” above and beyond a ROM, you should do so. In addition, your “ROM” would not be original development as it would be substantially identical to the original ROM.

- A thread created with unrealistic goals that are clearly unachievable by those starting the thread. This is not intended to discourage high aspirations, rather to prevent threads porting Windows Phone 8 to the HTC Wallaby. This is pretty much common sense.

- A ROM where a main or significant claim/feature is graphical changes to the user interface (ie. Themed ROM)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Piri:
Hi guys,

I have a problem with my Qtek 2020 (HTC Himalaya) with Model PH10B. It was working well until i had to do a hard reset for making changes to enable clear type text. As i was a total newbie at this i took out the battery to reset it and placed it back in. The PDA never started again. One thing i did notice was that when i took the battery out and place the pda on a charger cable or usb cable, the red light starts emitting, but the pda still does not start. I was skimming through the forums for help and tried to enter the bootloader mode and works stating "Serial" (or "USB" when the USB cable was plugged in) and showing "V1.06" at the bottom by pressing Power + Joystick Center Button. This happens when the battery is connected to the pda.

I installed Microsoft ActiveSync 4.1 and downloaded a new ROM (Link: http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?=13588&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight= Genuine English WM2003 SE upgrade for Himalaya uploaded here). MS ActiveSync never recognised the device, but when plugged in USB, WinXP detected the device as "Microsoft USB Sync" under "Windows CE Devices" in device manager. For the first few times the flash program from HTC said that there was a country ID error, and after patching it with "xda2nbftool" i changed the operator ID to "Qtek" corresponding the brand name of the pda. Still the flash progress said "Country ID error", and after about 10 tries the program flashed successfully and indicated the congratulations screen on the computer. It said to perform a cold boot on the system by pressing the reset button at the bottom and the power button at the top, which i did and still the PDA does not work (but the Bootloader still does). Once i caught a glimpse of the new bootscreen of WM2003 SE with "Testing. Not for sale" but soon faded away.” Whenever I try to flash the PDA again, it always says the “Country ID” Error.

P.S. Originally the PDA was unlocked, and when it originally booted it said the QTEK clouds boot screen followed by the Vodafone (UK) logo. I also updated the driver of the "Microsoft USB Sync device" from the original XP one dated somewhere in 2000, to the new one bundled with ActiveSync 2.1 dated 2004.

Please help me as i am really desperate to make the PDA work.

Thanks.

I am on my third htc one m8 due to quality issues. The first had scratches on the back out of the box. I exchanged it for a new gunmetal m8 that had a HORRIBLE RATTLE! The power button Rattled? I wish I had delt with a few sratches. So I too that one back and went to best buy and got a Gold m8. It has the best power button out of all 3. The volume rocker is a lil looser but doesn't rattle. Never wanted a gold one but Im afraid to exchange this one for a gunmetal m8.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Freedom First:
I must just be lucky. When the HTC Rezound rolled out, I was an early adopter (bought one on Black Friday, right after the release), and I never had a single issue with that phone. I recently upgraded to the M8 (Gunmetal Gray), and it's perfect. I had a M7 for all of 36 hours, and I returned it for the M8, but not because there were any issues with the phone (I didn't notice any issues with fit/finish)... I just wanted the newer device, and the sdcard slot.

And yes, the gold is cheesy! They only did it because CrApple did it. There's a reason we have the M8: because it's NOT an iphone, and it IS a better device! Who wants to be a locked-down, herd-following fanboi?
