Can you provide more information please? This happens using the stock Music app or it's not related?

Maybe there's a memory leak somewhere. I haven't encountered the issue yet but I always use Play Music.

Hi. I use the stock music player. and recently I switched to action launcher so ram appears to have gotten better. now its at 1.28gb always, before it was 1.35 then randonmly up to 1.6 ...

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenchai:
yeah, doesnt work, after an hour i have to restart because music doesnt work...

defective cellphone? or sofrware issue?

So is your warranty.

I would love to do the same. as I did with almost every device in the last years. but Knox Status is a realy pain in the ass. My device now responds quicker after switching to another launcher, but it's even snappier after a restart. Touchwiz simply is a pain in the ass.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenchai:
HAHAHAH that was funny.

yeah, warranty is gone now coz of knox...

but hey without root you cant even change music with volume buttons...

use swipeback, gravity box, titanium backup etc... we are losing so much freedom for warranty.

Once I proof that my device is not defective 4 one month, i will root it...

Anyone know how to get stock recovery BACK on the Verizon HTC One M8?

Please!?!?!?!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] :
Same way you installed the custom recovery. Instead, use the stock image
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mcdonsco:
And where would one get that? I've searched high and low here and googling, cannot find a stock recovery image.

Any/all help would be greatly appreciated.

Okay...I flashed back to stock recovery, BUT device still shows "Unlocked" when I go into the bootloader to get to recovery...

Anyway to get that back to "locked" (or otherwise? I seem to recall before unlocking it the phone went straight to recovery and didn't go to the bootloader first; maybe I'm wrong?)

Thanks!

How did you unlock it? Using HTCdev?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] spry7:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S III that is an SPH-L710. It is currently not activated. I am rooting using the CF-Auto-Root method:

This isn't my first time rooting an S III, but this is the first time that I ran into this problem.

What I did:

1) Factory Reset the phone.

2) Rooted using Odin and CF-Auto-Root. Odin says Pass!

3) SuperSU is not installed.

4) Installed Root Checker and it says that the device is not rooted.

5) Install SuperSU through the Play Store and states that there is not a SU binary installed.

I have tried to push it through multiple times, with and without USB Debugging, and still the same issue. Also when I try to enter the Boot Recovery Menu I get CF-Auto-Root going through again.

Thank you in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ickyz:
Look for SuperSu zip file and save it 2 yer SDcard and flash SUPER as zip file n see if that helps

NFC is turning off randomly on my S5. At first I thought I had turned it off by mistake but it is repeatedly turning off and I am now positive I am not turning it off by mistake. I don't use Power Saving Mode and my phone is always has 50% of more battery. Is anyone else facing this problem? :confused:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WrathfulWine858@yahoo.com:
I just tested this, it is from TURNING YOUR PHONE ON AND OFF. If you turn on s beam, then turn the device off, when you turn it back on the s beam will in fact be OFF. Try this, may be helpful.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] telveer:
By turning off, did you mean a full power down? I did not power down the phone. And I don't use S Beam. The native NFC itself is turning off once in a while, without any user intervention. This is breaking some of my automated NFC taksks .. I keep hitting my programmed tags and nothing happens, and that is when I realize NFC had turned off.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] telveer:

Any one else facing this issue? NFC is turning off randomly on my Galaxy S5. I don't use any power saving features. I have not restarted my phone.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rlin5741:
The issue for me, at least, is not tied to turning the phone off and on. I do notice the NFC turning off whenever I use the camera from the lock screen. Perhaps as a security feature, the phone turns off NFC if you wake the phone only in the lock screen camera (normally NFC turns on when the phone wakes), but never reactivates it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TCM55:
My NFC turns off randomly as well, with no consistent cause and effect.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rlin5741:
I tested on a friend's s5, has the same pattern. Turn NFC on, as soon as I activate camera from the lock screen, the NFC will turn off and stay off.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THFourteen:
Did anyone ever resolve this issue?

I see the same behaviour, NFC switches itself off when i use the lock screen camera for definite.

It may also switch off occasionally after a reboot
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] AaronM7:
So I just noticed that I got a forced app download called "Touch Test 1.0" that has a black icon. Has anyone else noticed this? What is it, and why did I get it? I also noticed that it has some very spammy reviews, but I can't find any info about it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Kraizk:
I've read it is Sprints version of "tap to pay"

Speculation: Could be an app that will be required for the sense 6 update to add carrier bloat.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] boiker:
I doubt both of those guesses. It popped up for update on my LG G2. The developer was listed as "Test Account234234". It would be exceptionally unprofessional for any carrier to push an update this way. Yesterday, 4/29 the app was asking for an update. I didn't install it. Today, 4/30 it is not longer on my list.

Here's my wild guess with malicious intent: Someone wrote a program that allows itself to "update" a sprint factory default screen test app. They setup a "test account" with the google play store to see if an app could be pushed to certain model phones and replace the factory app with this version. This particular app was innocuous, but the exploit could be used for more malicious apps since most users blindly update apps.

My wild guess with innocent intentions: Someone at Sprint or a sprint contract developer goofed and sent a test app for update through the play store with the wrong account.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Kraizk:
I love your theory but i highly doubt it goes that far.

[HTC Rezound] jflagators:
Whenever I try to open the play store it just gives me the "No Connection, Retry" error. Even though I either have 4g LTE or Wi-Fi. It started yesterday after using rumrunner and flashing the infection ROM. Before I did any of that I was on the liquid smooth jellybean ROM. Right now I'm on CM 11(I flashed this after infection because I thought it might be a ROM based issue) and have everything working but the play store. I switched to my liquid smooth back up and it was working fine, but I had to flash back to CM because the phone doesn't work on the liquid smooth backup. I'm on the latest firmware and have tried all the fixes I've seen, clearing data, manual time, etc. I saw one person say delete hosts.txt file but I didn't do it. Anyone have a clue as to what's wrong?
[Ornate TrueSmart] rhetor@rogers.com:
I am really enjoying my new omate! The only issue I am bothered by is the muffled and crackly mic on use during calls without BT headsets. I hear callers very well, but they complain of bad sound, quiet, etc. I am sure I have seen somewhere Omate acknowedging this issue as being due to the waterproof covering over the mic, and offering the suggestion of using a pin to break this if one preferred call quality over water protection....but I can't find any helpful instructions on how to approach this, and no reference to the issue being dealt with effectively by anyone on this forum. Any help here from experienced Omate users? Does this require removal of the back cover, or can this be done from the outside?

Thanks in advance,

Rhetor
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
There are now multiple threads for the mic issues. Including one three/four posts below this one. Creating new threads for pretty much the exact same issue is how solutions and information gets lost.
[Ornate TrueSmart] rhetor@rogers.com:
You will need to forgive me here...I really did try last night reading fro about an hour and a half through the 11 pages of threads here, as well as months worths of kickstarter and Facebook comments....for about an hour and a half.. I admit I did not see the post three or four below, as it was posted after I read last night, and I did not think to reread before I had a chance to post my question. But as no one seems to have answered that post at all, I am not sure how that might have helped? I would please very much appreciate being steered toward any of the previous threads referring to this issue...I tried, I really did....and I really had no desire to clutter the forum, I just hoped for a solution
[Ornate TrueSmart] rhineymac:
Its funny how phone calls are all muffled yet just using the mic with Google search or recording audio its OK. I'm sure there's a reason for it. There seems to be a reason for everything omate and odd
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
FB and KS are useless. G+ is better but not by much. Take all that and dump it here and what you experienced is the result.

As far as your issue, I'll be honest, I've answered it numerous times but what's one more time. The firmware is garbage and there is a serious inconsistency with build quality. My suggestion is to use a BT headset at all times. You can expect the BT headset to lose connection form time to time but at least to person on the other end will be able to hear you.

[MENTION=5679869]rhineymac[/MENTION]

Mic gain and bad firmware. The mic gain settings for phone calls are most likely wrong.
[Ornate TrueSmart] sethxp:
I think that its caused by "microphone feedback phenomenon" when loudspeaker is loud and looping back to microphone because they are near.
[Ornate TrueSmart] DaBountyHunter:
No issues with the mic here. In fact if anything it's pretty good. Am able to have a skype conversation and have people 6 feet away being heard clearly.

[Ornate TrueSmart] lirona:
Hi,

What values need to be to fix the mic issue ?

Thanks,

Arie.
[Ornate TrueSmart] DaBountyHunter:
I did exactly as seth asked me for. I'd probably change your values to what mine are and see how the mic performs. The values I have are unchanged from the shipped device I've received.
[Ornate TrueSmart] techknight180:
I changed the values... still no luck. Ill stick to using my BT headset.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
I have not done this on more than one TS so far, not feeling the love for the idea of fixing even more stuff. Results;

Echo/crackling- Set all values to 255 - got worse

Echo/crackling- Set all values to 1 - got better but still there and required I yell into the mic to be heard

Even tried Talkatone, which has software based echo and noise filtering, no change. At this point I'm gonna call it.

Those with good mic, no echo and clean audio have units that were built "just right".
[Ornate TrueSmart] kilroo:
Hmm, maybe I should try Talkatone again. I never could get duplex sound with it.

[Ornate TrueSmart] stingray454:
Just for reference, I've got two 1/8 2100MHz 0328-watches, and have not had to do anything about the mic. Both watches have very clear sound with the built in microphone, tested both voice calls and recording with the recorder app. No complaints.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
Was not the case for me. I had five, yes five, (1- 512/4, 4- 1/8 1900) and every one of them has mic issues. Four of the five have been completely disassembled and rebuilt with no success. All five work perfectly when recording audio but either have severe echo, garbled, no audio during calls. All five were flashed to the exact same firmware with the exact same settings.

Even one that I removed the mic water seal on still had issues.
[Ornate TrueSmart] techknight180:
change rom?

so some of you removed the water blocking white sealant and microphone started working(probably was working before the stuff was removed).. Since this is most likely firmware/software..will the Unified 1/8 1900/2100 Unrooted Secured Tuned Stock Rom help?

Thanks

[Ornate TrueSmart] sny11:
Yep in my case it helped. After reading other thread about the sealant I looked into the microphone hole of mine and it was completely shut off with the white sealant. No wonder no one could hear me unless I shouted into the mic. After a few minutes of cleaning mine I can speak a normally on calls and people on other end hear me fine.

Like others have said poor quality build control. Individual assembler just soused the sealant to my truesmart not concerned at all if they were assembling a working product. Just get it down the line.
[Ornate TrueSmart] trent999:
There is excess white sealant blocking the mic pinhole on some devices, but that is NOT the greyish white plastic seal at the very back that NEEDS to be there to protect the mic and watch from water damage. If you clean out any plug of excess sealant that might be there, you have to be Very Careful not to puncture the plastic seal at the back end of the pinhole, or else your watch mic will definitely be damaged if you submerge it.

That said, the TrueSmart is so poorly designed and manufactured and assembled, generally, that there are already several other points of entry for water anyway, already - gaskets, speaker grill, antennae ports, stupid afterthought buttons and sometimes even the display screen has been mounted in the frame so sloppily that you can see circuitry visible from the outside.

There seems to be no Q/A on these devices at all.

I hope yours has none of these issues, but if your mic produces garbled sound, you might want to look to see if there is excess white plastiky sealant blocking the hole. If so, cleaning it out carefully might help the mic quality a great deal, or it might not.

When it works, it works great. Really nice speaker phone. I wish we could figure out why some of the TrueSmarts work well as phones and others sound crappy, even if there is nothing blocking the mic pinhole. Its a mystery.

hi guy, it had been a long time i didn't used android, now i'm coming back from iphone, i have essue with the android version 4.2.2 baseband 1.01.01.1112 and built number 3.06.605.4, it won't work with any root tutorial, any one could help me please :(

Rumrunner download the exploit. Follow directions and get soff. Then flash a custom recovery and the newest zip of su from the su website by chain fire and you will have root.

Exploit. Rumrunner.us

Download the specific one for the DNA.

The Rumrunner seem not work for my HTC, it's like stop at ADB 1/120 after reboot just go on home screen and that it!
[HTC Droid DNA] man1d2tran:
I have this same issue should I post a new thread? However it stops on the second phone rebooting into the thing it does and 20 lines of dots.

Any solutions yet?

Even factory resetted both from the phone and from inside the boot menu. Backed up the phone prior and it deleted everything to no avail..

I don't know if OP did the 2/7 superCID to HTCDEV but I did to no avail. But that was before the factory reset. I guess I could try again, what a pain to have to keep doing this..

Any other step by step troubleshooting will be appreciated.

Experience in rooting with superoneclick and htcdev with the moto droid OG and the Thunderbolt.

Here is my reasoning so far:

Want to root DNA.

So probably need to S-OFF. Probably can't ust flash an img from the recovery menu.

SuperCID HTCDEV not working.

Moonshine not working

Rumrunner stopping at second fastboot.

edit!! solution!!!! adb push temproot and firewater! DONATE TO BEAUPS!!!! W00T!!!!

Then weaksauce.apk and then SU from Play store. :D

Problem: installed recovery ok but ROM won't load.

Horrible problem. Installed a Recovery, and a ROM (or so I thought) but put the ROM on the root dir. And now the recovery can't see it. So I can't reinstall.

For those who don't know the DNA does not have a removable SD slot. I'm f'd.. Need help.

Tried to use adb shell but it says device not there, but before I was able to push files to it via adb.. sucks.

Really need help.. desperately. Need this phone late today for work.

Okay got it to load with a program that found and loaded the right driver.

But now still need a good file ROM I think, that has update.zip in it's package to sideload

May have successfully sideloaded a full ROM. Used a stable Cyanogenmod 10.2 just to be safe.

At least it's spinning. Yeesh.

Didn't Factory reset/wipe user data last time. Did it and it worked. Fast first load too. Hope I don't have to reload all my data. It was a pain choosing what I wanted. Lessons learned.

Install ROM into not the root. But into a folder so I can choose it. Back it up. This is a huge process.

Hope this helps someone..

How can I completely disable the most recently used (MRU) list in the startmenu, or make it only apear as small icons, like when in landscape mode? It's anoying, and takes us the entire screen when I open the start menu...

I recently got the S5 on sprint and im beyond disappointed with sprints new spark and lte network out here in NY. Im considering going to Tmobile since there lte speeds are crazy good and connection is steady out here. My question is can i get my phone unlocked and bring my sprint version phone over to Tmobile? I was told by a Tmobile rep that my phone would go down to 2g speeds and its not guaranteed to even get lte. Which i find hard to believe since since my phone has the option to also go on GSM/UMTS. Whats your guys thoughts on this?

Sprint phones cant work with T-Mobile, Sprint blocks other US GSM carriers from using their phone.

Sprint phones can only be used outside of the states
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darknatas:
So even if i get the phone unlocked i wont be able to use it on tmobile?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeaFractor:
Correct. Sprint uses different frequency ranges, so unlocked or not it's just not going to communicate.

ATT and T-Mobile work due to the overlap. In fact, for a while there ATT was going to purchase T-Mobile before the FCC put a halt to that.

Glad too as T-Mobile is now shaking up the market and forcing (encouraging?) Verzion and ATT to try and adopt similar measures in order to maintain customer base.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcas9472:
I dont think this is correct. Albeit S5 is a different phone, but I unlocked 4 SPH-L720 S4's from Sprint to Tmobile no problem using the following thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2530610

If S5 could use the same methods, you would get 3G and HSPA+ on the Sprint S5 using a TMobile SIM.

I was able to get LTE using a TMobile SIM on a Sprint S4 by using DFS to edit the NV to enable AWS 1700 LTE Band in NV items, then flashing the TMobile HOS and MODEM bin files - along with copying the *ril*.so libraries to the system/lib directory. This ultimately allowed me to select the LTE/WCDMA/GSM option in Mobile Networks.

Not many people know about this but I found it in an i337 thread on how to unlock AWS on a S4.
