[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bu2askoor:
Hey all,

i have been trying to find a solution on xda and the web for the following problem:

I have S4 with Omega v20 and cannot seem to be able to use ChatON voice or video chat. I find this feature to be very clean and stable compared to other services such as skype (yes call me crazy)

My brother also have an S4 with the chaton voice working fine. As a matter of fact he can call me through chaton voice. But i do not have that option to call him back.

I hope someone can suggest a solution. (i even set in wanam xposed system to "official" just in case the app checks)

Thanks.

So I have a Samsung Galaxy Young S6312, rooted and running on stock ROM(jellybean 4.1.2).

I don't have access to unlimited data plans, so I want to keep my data usage to a minimum. So I downloaded 3g watchdog and tracked what was using up my data. And I came to know that Android OS is using up about 50% of my data. In 2 days I used about 90 MB data, out of which 45 MB were chewed by Android OS. I also used Onavo Count, which showed me that on a day when I used 25 MB data, 18 MB was used by Android OS. Please suggest me a solution, this is driving me mad.

P.S : Auto-Sync is turned of my device. I have also turned off Backup of passwords, contacts etc. Also, I don't use Google+ or YouTube on my device. So I don't know what is causing this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
There's a bunch of suggestions here:

http://androidandme.com/thread/android-os-crazy-data-usage/

Unfortunately, there is no ONE fix as different people have the issue for different reasons. Sometimes it's because they're on ICS and there seems to be a bug that affects some phones with it. Sometimes it was syncing, which I know you have off. Sometimes it's Google Play Services. Sometimes it's a 3rd party app or built in stock browser or launcher that reports as Android OS. So yea...seems like a PITA. Maybe running something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shaddow.eventLogger combined with this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobidia.android.mdm might help shed some light?

If you root, there's firewall apps such as droidwall and afwall which give you control to decide whicch apps should have access to 3g, wifi, including android os, kernel and any system app.

I forgot to mention, I already have a firewall(Android Firewall) enabled, and I use it in whitelist mode, and I have not ticked any app to have internet access other than which I use. I have also not ticked Android System. Yet somehow, inexplicably, Android Os is eating my data.

To that end, maybe trying using it in blacklist mode and check everything, just to see if anything changes?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planterz:
Are you tethering your internet to a computer?

Back when I had Verizon, I hacked my Motorola Droid Razr Maxx (4.1.2) to have free mobile hotspot. I noticed the same thing: that Android OS was using a ton of data. However, the math didn't add up. I had 4gb of data, but when I'd get an overage warning, I'd look at all the numbers, and mobile hotspot and Android OS added up to way more than 4gb. I concluded it was just a glitch, since it was hacked, caused because the software just didn't know how to report it accurately.

For example, I'm currently using a 4.2.2 Samsung phone on T-Mobile (unlimited), and I've used a proverbial #@%$ ton of data doing USB tethering with PdaNet+, yet PdaNet+ doesn't show up as using data. My billing cycle resets on the 7th of each month, and loading up the T-Mobile app, it says I've used 262.66GB of data. On my phone however, it says that I've used 474GB. But Android OS only lists 68.65MB. With my Verizon phone, I used wi-fi tethering. On my T-Mobile phone I use USB tethering (and some Blu Tooth as well). So that could explain that discrepancy, or it could be the different Android versions.

Either way, OBVIOUSLY, something is wrong with the way Androids track data usage when it comes to tethering. If you tether, my advice to you would be to actually add up everything listed in the data usage, and then compare it to what your provider says you've used. I have no clue what it's like in India, but in the US, every major provider gives you an account app that, among other things like payments and plan changes, tracks your data/messaging/minutes usage. If tethering is the culprit, go by what your provider says, NOT by what your phone says.

If you don't tether, I don't know what the heck the problem could be.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mayank06199:
Well, that certainly explains a lot. I DO use tethering rather a lot, so I guess the amount of data I use on tethering shows up as Android OS. Thanks for explaining this out to me.

Hi,

I bought an international GT-I9500 (Factory unlocked) from Amazon lately.

Right as I opened the box, I have flashed CM 11, without backing up the stock firmware.

Everything's working fine, but when I put my sim card inside, the following screen came up:

(Not my pic, but looks the same).

I have no idea what is the country the phone is locked to (supposed to be factory unlocked), so using sites that give out codes is not possible (tried, but they said they can't do anything without knowing the original country or carrier the phone is locked to).

Guides using the system menu (*#0011# or other codes) not working on CM 11's dialer, and as I said- I don't have a stock backup.

Also tried:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1693491

But non of the 3 methods don't output the UN_Lock_code, so I can't continue without it.

I have tried all guides and apps I could find or think of, but still no luck.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you.

A friend of mine (really) has an S4 that goes to a black screen after the Verizon splash screen, nothing else happens other than the LED pulses blue.

When I go into recovery mode, the little green dude says 'Initializing System Update' for a fraction of a second, the he falls over dead with a red exclamation triangle over his open chest and it quickly says 'No command', 'Error' and finally 'No command' again.

I don't want to try a factory reset, as all of his photos are in phone memory rather than on an SD card. He's already gotten a new phone from Verizon, but is trying not to lose his photos.

Kies won't see the phone either, so I'm at a loss of what to try. It will go into ODIN mode, don't know if that provides me any options. The phone is unmodded, stock factory image.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
You can try to Odin a no wipe image to salvage the photos but it sounds like only the full wipe will take.

Do you know what he was trying to do that soft bricked the phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mikemcm1956:
Josh,

Looks like a no-go. Downloaded Odin 3.07, along with a no-wipe image tar file (VRUAMDK). Open Odin, loaded tar file to PDA, it successfully checked the file as valid. Turned on phone in Odin mode, pressed volume up to go to Downloading screen on phone. Plugged in USB cable to phone, no COM ID shows up in Odin. Samsung USB driver 1.5.33.0 is installed, as part of my Kies install, so that's not it. Guess I'm screwed....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Most likely you're not screwed. What I've done in the past is uninstall Kies and the Samsung drivers from your commuter. Then reboot. Then go to K1mu's Saferoot thread and grab the drivers he has in the op.

Try that and maybe if you have to try another USB cable and different Port on your computer. You should be able to get Odin to see your phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Try what Mistertac said. He basically covered everything you can do to get Odin to try and recognize the phone. Try another computer as well. You could also try Heimdall, similar program to Odin. Also, if you can get the phone connected, make sure you figure out what build he was on, probably wasn't MDK.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Yea it most likely wasn't MDK but you never know. Worse that can happen is it just won't work and if that's the case just grab the MK2 tar. Sometimes these new computers are just a pain with the drivers from what I've seen and dealt with. I miss Windows 2000/XP Pro lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mikemcm1956:
Josh & Mistertac,

Thanks for the help, it's been a while since I had to do this on my own phones. The first issue with connecting has been solved, dumbass me was using a Samsung dock USB cable that was charge only with no data lines. Swapped out the cable and Odin sees it fine. Tried to run the MDK tar file and got a big fat FAIL. Now the phone immediately goes to Odin on powerup and displays the 'encountered an issue' screen. I've found two more no-wipe images here, VRUAME7 and VRUDMI1, but don't see the MK2 tar in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2301259

So I'm downloading the ME7 and MI1 files now to give them a shot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:

I'd say cut to the chase and just use the mk2 file

Just found the no-wipe MK2, will try that first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mikemcm1956:
MK2 no-wipe restore went perfectly, was able to recover all photos and other data. Moved everything off to the SD card and will do a full factory reset before it gets sent back to Verizon. Thanks to both of you for the help. I haven't rooted my last two phones, may have to fall back into this game again....

Using viper 1.4 Rom but cannot delete the already ui.zip I already have?!? I keep getting error in fx explorer. I have root access, s-off, handlesdcard exposed module. Why can I not touch this existing theme to replace with this one in this thread? In currently using the blue carbon theme.

Try the temp fix I posted in Viper thread.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Sneakyghost:
Blame the xposed module.

Also, sometimes when you pushed that file into the folder with adb in recovery, it's inaccessible from within Android. Happens with buggy TWRP versions that set wrong uuid's and/or permissions.

Try some other file explorer like ES or Root Explorer. If that doesn't help, delete the ui.zip with the recovery file manager and push the new one with:

adb push ui.zip /sdcard/TWRP/theme/ui.zip

See if that helps.

[One (M8) Themes and Apps] deeznuts:
Using TWRP file manager worked perfectly. I deleted it, then rebooted system. Then showed file was deleted with fx explorer so then tried to move this theme to the theme folder and got the error message again, no access. Figure WTF here and just went back into TWRP recovery and did everything with TWRP file manager. Reboot into recovery, now the theme is running and file is where it's suppose to be. Weird.

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

First blamed the rom since i installed Venom rom 1.4 and after install by default the exposed installer is turned off/not installed. So by default this was not possible at all! That's a rom issue. I then turned on exposed installer app/installed, then selected the module, then rebooted. Still same effect.

Had to do everything with TWRP file manager. I deleted the file fine, then moved this theme in there fine, renamed it fine, reboot into recovery fine to see the awesome theme in action! Appreciate the heads up, had no idea TWRP had a file manager full access!!!

I've tried root explorer, etc. All the same compared to FX Explorer, won't work for this procedure. Don't know if it's because i had an existing file in that folder which caused this or not?
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Sneakyghost:
It's complicated. It's maybe to do with a messed up permission or uuid or due to the explorer u use. Hard to guess around. Maybe you'd do best with a factory reset with a stock ROM and recovery and rebuild your phone. That's what I always do when I get these kinds of issues.

Very nice work!!!

Would you also consider making an ICS Blue version of this theme?
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Sneakyghost:
Probably not because the buttons were made as an experiment in Photoshop CS6 3D.

It was a nightmare and needs proper learning and I'm not much inclined to pick that up again.

I might do that if I feel really bored and motivated to learn ps 3d but only God knows when that will happen.

[EDIT]

I could pass on the PSD for the button though if you happen to be into PS 3D. If you do the buttons, I do the xml ;)

Here's your theme in blue. I just threw it together for ya real quick with a batch re-color. I'm not really in love with the coloring of every png but they can be easily changed by anybody with GIMP, PS, or any other photo editing software. Just play around with the RGB levels and possibly brightness until you get the color you want.

I wasn't gonna do the recoloring/overlay thing. I refuse to do that. I would have taken the PSD and redone the buttons in the 3D workspace for learning. Your thing is the cheap way out. Now you're forcing me to do just that.

Man you're mean. :D

[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Behold_this:
Man you're an ass sometimes [emoji12]. You could just say thanks but I digress.

As I said, that is a simulated screenshot, it does not do the theme justice. It is not a live screenshot, I just quickly recolored the whole preview.png. For the actual theme, each PNG was recolored with a different code. Because of this the screenshot doesn't look right, however, as I also said, I don't like the color either haha.

Anyway, why are you complain about rebuilding the buttons in PS? That's too much work and just foolish. Re color it, that's the easy way to do it. I know you didn't want to take any requests and that's totally cool. Now as far as not doing fugly, you're forgetting I've seen ALL of your work. Lol Neither one of us is on all the time;).
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Sneakyghost:
:laugh:

well put it on the table. I have no time, i am dead when getting home, i am not doing anything theming, i only updated this existing one which is just simple XML transfers from the old to the new structure and thanks to Beyond Compare been a job of 30 Minutes. The new button took me like 1 hour until i had it the way i wanted it. Learned a few new tricks along the way. That's been the last Holiday-Afternoon. Now its gonna be a LONG stretch till the next holidays come up.

IF i happen to feel like doing different colors, i would - let it be stupid or not - do it via rebuilding the whole button because i want to learn and exercise in Photoshop CS6 3D. Anything i can already master (like good recoloring jobs) is a waste of time in my eyes. I am not doing stuff to serve people. I do stuff to please myself and learn new stuff. Mostly that is.

Sorry for being an ass. I love you man! Easy. :D
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Behold_this:
I know, I know, you like to do things all the way so that you can really tear into them and see how they work, but some of us common folk like to do it the easy way...every now and again;).

Theme is great man! Whether the color gets changed or not those buttons look slick.:good:

At the moment i have too many other things going on. I doubt i'll work on this much more. Maybe still update it when TWRP requires it but not much more. Sorry

But if you are skilled in Photoshop and don't fear editing XML's i can hand over the PSD's for the buttons and you can do that yourself.

[One (M8) Themes and Apps] Sneakyghost:
Thanks for the Compliments but i doubt i'll be reworking this for the current TWRP. I am pretty much occupied with the few little things i do and work besides of that. Sorry.

Guess i might be calling this the official EOL for this theme, but then again, i might also feel like updating it one day and then that wouldn't fit with an EOL announcement, right?

Just don't expect any updates anytime soon. I mean you can use this with the current TWRP but some new features won't be visible then.

[EDIT]

Just thinking, maybe i'll update it once the HTC M9 is out - TWRP will then be adjusted for that device, then we have a fresh start and since the M9 will most likely have the same resolution, that TWRP theme will also fit the M8 and M7 TWRP's...
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] wapvirus:

Yeah sure if you want you can have the theme and fix the xml so it's working with all options on the newest TWRP, I can send you the psd files.

Although be warned, they're my first ever attempt at Photoshop 3D and pretty messy.

I can check and pack stuff up tomorrow and pm it to you. If you find it easy enough you could update the theme and make a few users happy.

Dude, i didn't forget you. I waste my time getting stuff ready for LolliSense right now. I have a long weekend now and i will look into this theme now and send the basic stuff to you to play with.

I am still biased as to giving it up and letting someone have it, or pick it up again in future. Currently i am leaning towards picking it up and continuing it when we see Sense 7 on the M9, but for now, i am fine with you having the base files and either continuing this or making your own stuff from it.

If you decide to make your own theme, i only ask to leave credits to my name with it, stating that the base files were done by me. As long as there is any part of my stuff in your theme. Once you reach a point where my stuff is gone entirely, you can remove the credits.
[One (M8) Themes and Apps] wapvirus:
I would just like to say I would never take credit for someone else's hard work and if I managed to update I would like to post it here in this thread just with added credits to myself and if you ever wanted to take back the task I would be more than happy to hand it all back ,l had noticed that you are very busy and l respected that and didn't hassle you for the files like I posted before it's just a project for myself that I would be willing to share if all goes to plan.

I'm always amused by these "I took the update... Help I lost root" posts. It takes time and unless you're actively working on a root solution.... Leave the people alone and let them work.
