[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnz:
Well if all he wants is a safe 4.4.2 firmware, that's not really a problem. I'd recommend downloading Odin from somewhere, and a stock 4.4.2 firmware from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com . I can confirm that the The VNZ and NZC (Vodafone NZ and 2degrees NZ) ones are unbranded, so are probably a good choice. Also comes with Navigon with (I believe) NZ and Australian maps, but I've had some issues with the activation for that.

Then if you want to just download and install an Australian 4.4.2 firmware when it comes out from one of those sites. Just don't under any circumstance try to downgrade from 4.4.2 to an older version.

[General Questions and Answers] Victorjales:
Hello, I have been through a terrible doubt. Next week I will buy my new phone. I currently have a Nexus 4 because I always liked the modifications and custom roms.

As I have not much money, so I need to choose between Nexus 5 16Gb version and the G2 version of 32 Gb

I realize that the G2 has

- Better Camera

- Better Battery

- Better Screen

- Double of the Storage

And the Nexus 5 has been more fluid in 3d games videos in youtube, despite worsening in the benchmarks, and has more roms and ability to receive new system designs such as Ubuntu and Sailfish

It's worth leaving all these points better in the G2 for the stability and roms of the Nexus 5?

Thanks (Sorry for the bad english)

Nexus 5 BRO!

PRESS THE THANK BUTTON IF YOU THINK I HELPED:)
[General Questions and Answers] robin786:
Let's see what other users think of this. A balanced opinion will be best to help others as well. In my case, I'm using LG G2. It's an awesome phone downright. But now, I feel like getting a Nexus 5 coz I believe it's easier to root & to flash custom roms plus there are plenty of support in the forum. G2 is easy to root but can also easily get into eternal bootloop, even if you've done everything right.

But again, G2 is a solid phone if you are a normal user who doesn't care about updates and rooting and flashing custom roms and such.

Or, I could easily go back to Samsung phones as those happen to be the easiest to root & to flash custom rom.

I have build a rom but for some reason the Carrier signal bar is empty. The signal LTE is marked but can only make call and not receive them. Another thing is that when on the dialer in a call if you press end the bottom half disappears but the call continues and does not end. I know there are a lot of devs out there maybe some one can help. I think its a file in the system/lib folder but for the life of me I can figure it out yet.
[HTC Droid DNA] Garmy:
Hi all..

I have a problem with my DNA. Sometimes, like maybe once every few weeks or so, the touch screen will not respond correctly.

Here's what happens:

1. I turn on the display while the phone is already running. (meaning, I'm not booting up when it happens)

2. I try to slide the unlock widget up but it doesn't respond.

3. I hold the power button, and it says to continue holding it for 3... 2... 1.. seconds. However, at 1 seconds, it never does anything. I've held it for 2 or 3 minutes at times, and no reboot.

4. I swipe randomly around the screen and notice that some of my quick launch icons or the unlock slider bump up momentarily, but not enough to unlock the phone.

5. I continue swiping randomly, with a random number of fingers, and eventually the stars align and the phone is unlocked.

6. Once the phone is unlocked, tons of random touch presses occur. Random apps will open, messaging, etc. Sometimes, it opens the phone app and randomly presses things. It does this at a very, very rapid rate. I usually panic and turn off the display so it stops.

7. I manage to unlock it and hold the power button until the "Reboot/Shutdown/Airplane Mode" window appears and STAYS on the screen long enough for me to tell it to reboot.

8. After it reboots, the problems are gone and the touch screen returns to its proper functionality.

Has anyone had this problem before or know why it's happening? Or what can contribute to it?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wendroid:
I have an Archos 80 Titanium tablet. It is rooted but there are no custom roms for it so I'm stuck on 4.1.1 with the Heartbleed bug. Archos support doesn't even reply to my questions regarding a heartbleed patch. In the meantime, I can't even use it because of the bug. Its a nice little tablet. I have the update.zip file. Is there any way to apply a patch myself? I know zero about code but maybe there is a specific thing to look for, change and then I could reflash the zip. Is that farfetched? Even though Google has distributed a patch to all their partners, which Archos would be one, I have no confidence that they will get around to patching even though this device is only a year old. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but like I said, I have no code knowledge, I just follow directions really well.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] explorer82:
I have this device. Need community assistance!

I have this device, it runs ICS 4.0.4, feels quite old.

I wanted to updated this to Jelly Bean at least, many popular apps are not available in the store, or simply do not work with it.

No 'Talking Caller ID' app works with it currently, all of them say 'Call from Unknown'.

I'm willing to compile Cyanogenmod from source if necessary (if and when I learn how to do it), but I'd like to create an existing image backup for my device first. Also, I'll need to ensure that the Landline App and DECT 6.0 features from Panasonic would work on my new rom.

Any tips anyone? Or am I looking at the impossible?

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mth281:
Hey folks. I have noticed since I got the S5 a few weeks back that it charges mega slowly on anything but the supplied cable and power adapter. When I plug it in with the regular cable to my USB 3.0 laptop in high performance mode, it still charges incredibly slowly. even if I use the regular wall adapter but with a micro-usb 2.0 cable, it still charges very slowly. Is this an issue that I can fix, or do I need to accept that the standard charger setup is the only way to really charge the phone?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sporklover:
What is the Amp output rating of the chargers you are using? The Samsung supplied charger is 2.0
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhess:
For some reason this phone charges faster than any other phone I've had.

Especially with the supplied charger!

I'm not sure what would cause yours to be slow?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crawrj:
I think it depends on your definition of slow... A computer using USB 3 with a USB 3 cable generally charges at about 1 amp. Use a USB 2 cable and that drops. Same with using the USB 2 cables vs USB 3 cables. Optimal performance is achieved with the factory setup because it is using a 2 amp charger with USB 3 cable. Anything less is going to be slower. Like I said though it just depends on how slow. A bit slower than an s4, under those conditions, would be normal because of the battery increase. A huge time difference would mean something is wrong. But if you are comparing just the factory setup with the other options you can't. That would be apples to oranges.

If I missed something I apologize. Been at work for about 30 hours straight :)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
1. I'd be careful. you are fresh, KIES and OTA is not giving you update => most likely 4.4.2 was not released for your region yet.

2. IF you really want to do the update... go to http://www.sammobile.com register, check the firmware section.

Earlier today I flashed from ViperDNA 2.0.x to the new ViperDNA 4.0.0 RC to take advantage of some of the bluetooth features not available in 4.2.2 based roms (mainly bluetooth low energy for the fitbit and HTC fetch that I recently received).

Ever since that first flash I have had zero audio from the main speakers on the phone. The earpiece works perfectly in calls, and the headphone jack and bluetooth audio work 100% as expected.

Troubleshooting already attempted:

dumped media to computer, and full format all partitions on phone, reflash rom--no change

flashed new hboot and radio firmware, and stock 4.4.2 rom--no change

flashed back to 4.2.2 based rom (ViperDNA 2.5.0)--no change

Does anyone have any additional suggestions? I cannot find my unlock_code.bin, so I would like to avoid having to relock and ruu if possible, unless someone has easy instructions for that as well.

Thank you in advance.

You can ruu while still having your secure flag off (S-Off) and after ruu you can install a custom recovery with S-Off. Then be able to flash the unlock zip from Scotty's thread.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quicksnap:
I have a T-Mobile Galaxy S5, and the back has been very squeaky. It seems that, if you are looking at its back, the left-center edge, right below the power button, doesn't completely seal.

A few days after I got the device, I noticed the squeaking. It's pretty annoying; whenever you grip the phone, it has the plastic-on-plastic sound annoying squeak. I went into T-Mobile and they swapped out the back panel, which seemed to solve the problem. However, I noticed the left-center edge still didn't quite seal properly. A few days later, it started to become squeaky again.

I was about to have the phone completely swapped out--T-Mobile took a new phone out of the box, but I noticed it had the same flaw on the left-center side. I opted not to swap it, since I figured the same damn thing would happen again.

Does anyone else have an issue like this? I'm worried it's not waterproof, and it feels really flimsy for a $650 phone.
