[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stance_john:
Everything that happened:

1) I rooted my GT-I9300 using ODIN v3.07 and CWM Recovery

2)I installed zip of Resurrection Remix Kitkat ROM for S3 using CWM

3) I hated it to the core!:(

4)I flashed the official stock ROM of 4.3 JB using ODIN

5) I realized that USB Debugging was off!:eek:

6) My phone gets stuck at the Samsung logo and doesn't even load into recovery mode!

7) It boots into download mode, I flash the 4.1.2 JB ROM for S3 using ODIN

8)The Samsung logo appears, disappears and then again appears! This goes on forever!!

9)This time it boots into Android Recovery and displays the error: E: failed to mount data (Invalid Argument) cant find /data

10) The phone restarts and continues the boot-looping!!

11) I try to restore it with Kies3 using Firmware Upgrade and Initialization

12) It upgrades the firmware to 4.3 JB but the things that happened in NO. 6 continue!

13) I realised its time for the xda people to help me out!!

Things I have:

1) My Bricked Samsung Galaxy S III (International) GT-I9300

2) USB Cable

3) A Windows 7 PC with 2GB RAM

4) An Internet Connection

Can someone please explain what has happened to my phone and what should I do to get it back on stock ROM?

Please help me as I dont want to buy a new phone!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forumber2:
Note: If you have

16 GB

of I9300, apply this guide

I think you can restore your device via repartition with a PIT file. I uploaded Odin and PIT file that I use. You can download it from attachments

You should install this ROM via PIT file; http://samsung-updates.com/details/25147/Galaxy_S_3_International/GT-I9300/TUR/I9300XXUGNB6.html

Make sure select PIT file in Odin before installation.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stance_john:
I live in India. Can you suggest an INU or INS rom?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stance_john:
I flashed my phone with PIT file and (INS_I9300XWUGML4_I9300ODDGML4_I9300DDUGMK1) 4.3 JB ROM. No Progress!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forumber2:
Can you try install with my suggested ROM? If it will success, you can install your country's ROM anyway.

After installing it via PIT file, wait for boot. If it stuck in Samsung logo, remove battery,insert the battery again, boot into recovery and try to wipe data.

I'm saying again;

Make sure select PIT file in Odin before installation.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f0xy:
Did you try a wipe data when you flashed second stock ROM?? When you got in recovery
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stance_john:
Yes, I tried it. When i tried clear dalvik cache, it wasnt cleared. Instead I was took to the main menu of the CWM.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stance_john:
I installed the ROM with the PIT file but still no progress!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stance_john:
A new problem:

1) I went to the Samsung people expecting some help

2) And they did the most cruel thing on this earth!!! They said

"The binary counter says 4. That means you have flashed the ROM customly. This has void the warranty of your device. We cant help you if you have void your warranty. Sorry!"
[Paranoid Android Features Development] Erovia:
A way to display more contact information (Company,Job,Group,etc) on the incoming call screen would be incredibly useful.

It would be helpful to identify rarely used contacts.

There is an app called Call Informer which does this, but it's look&feel stucked in the 2.x era and a more streamlined, built-in solution would be helpful to people with a lot of contacts.

I can't post in main slimkat thread for my phone (i am new user):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2587302

So i create new thread.

I have problem with my slimkat which is really annoying. In 50% cases when someone is calling me and my phone is locked i hear ring but i can't unlock screen. Screen is black, I am trying to unlock using every key, but screen is still black. I can unlock it when phone stops ringing.

Does somebady experienced similar issue with this rom?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eshansinghiip:
Reflash the ROM, It should work. Id it was a problem with ROM, Slim people must have resolved it by now in latest iterations.

Hope it works.

So along with my recent phone upgrade i needed to get a new dual sim adapter. Went with another from www.magic-sim.com and its working great for me. Personally always had a great experience with these little devices and can recommend them! :good:

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] EnricoIT:
Had one for the S4 that stopped working after a while, needing a reboot every time you wanted to pick up signal.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] stokakis:
I agree with EnricoIT i had the same problems...
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] yeezy1:
Always had great experiences with these devices personally too, in the past when i've needed any technical help their customer service has always been great.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] drowsword:
Does anyone no if it's possible to use data from one sim and phone from the other, at the same time. My work Sim doesn't have data, so I'm constantly tethered to another phone with my sim in it. (WiFi doesn't work well in my workplace)
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Szadzik:
Surely not. Not until there is a true dualsim version of S5
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] mikmaze:
anyone care to discuss use of the s5 with dual sim adapter? is it simple as pop it in and go, or do you have to manually switch from one sim card to the other? I have a crappy work phone and an s5 and would like to just put the work sim into a dual adapter and carry just the s5.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] bOkz:
There is a duos version of S5 (SM-G900FD) like this one that I'm using. They are sold in the middle east, mine is a UAE version but I live in Singapore. Everything is mostly the same except the extra sim slot and its unlock.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] rperez33:
I know this question has probably been asked a few times already and yes I did find the guide.

I have a Sprint SPH-L720 running 4.4.2 version L720VPUFNAE that I would like to transfer to Metro PCS.

I tried using the guide but the only flash option in the guide ended up Soft Bricking the phone.

I have flashed multiple roms on multiple devices but I have never attempted to switch carriers before.

Is there a way to unlock the sim card so I can use the phone on Metro without downgrading or reflashing another rom?

If I root this version is there a way to unlock the sim from there ?

Is there already a specific rom that enables you to switch carriers freely ?

Thanks in advance

Rob
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] faderbxtch:
Just download Odin and download the MD5 MDC for SPH-L720 go into download mode and flash it, then it will work if you're soft bricked go into download mode then go on PC and download NAE stock firmware MD5 because the one clicks havent been working for me so i flash everything that way.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorachus:
I flashed the GPE ROM to my new HTC One M8, and it seems pretty awesome so far. This is my first stock Android OS experience since my Nexus 4 I sold over a year ago, so I haven't used stock kit Kat before, and this Google Now Launcher thing is all new to me.

- How's battery life on this GPE, compared to stock Sense 6 ? I also flashed the ElementalX kernel, but kept it all stock settings. Curious how this will last ? My Sense 6 ROM gave me pretty good battery life.

- Does everyone here run the GPE with the Google Now Launcher ? If so, how do you have it setup ? I'm worried about Locations settings being enabled, always thought that was a major battery drainer ?

- I am running Xposed framework with Gravity Box and GEL modules, for extra customization, without needing a full launcher like Nova, these modules allow me to keep stock Google Now Launcher, but also customize the grid size, and gestures, etc...

- Speed wise, is GPE faster than Sense 6 ?

- Overall how do you like GPE on the M8, compared to let's say the Nexus 5 ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorachus:
Is anyone running the GPE here ? What's your opinion compared to Sense 6 ? Or just overall how do you like the GPE ?

Hi guys, I have the Xperia SP C5303 with an unlocked bootloader but the issue is I updated it and it's now running on Jellybean 4.3 Build number 12.1.A.1.201. I've done some research and got conflicting info as to whether I can root the phone and install Cyanogenmod. I'd really appreciate some help in this matter and especially if somebody can give me detailed instructions on how to root and install Cyanogenmod on this device if it's possible. Thanks in advance.:good:

I'm having the same problem that you friend :/
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oblox:
You need to flash the old 4.1.2 firmware first and carry out the root/recovery on that then do whatever you want after that.

People with unlocked BL may be able to tell you if theres a quicker way with flashtool to just flash a kernel with recovery but I dont know if thats the case.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heishi Jager:

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BR4DOKYBrazil:
I have this doubt since purchasing the Xperia Z!

As soon buy my Xperia Z2 and the store where I will buy it is difficult to leave the charging device 30 minutes before turning it on to test it!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kersey:
As difficult as it was I let mine charge for an hour or so before I used it. Not sure if I needed to but was in work at the time so had a few things to keep me busy while charging
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xernoxis:
My phone had 62% battery when I recieved it. Probably my contractor that installed some apps and charged it. I didn't charge it untill it was empty.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BR4DOKYBrazil:
I wonder what is the need to leave charging for 30 minutes before turning on the device for the first time since the other brands of devices do not need it!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pauliebb:
Mine also came with 60% battery when I got it, I think its normal to keep a charge in the battery because it helps battery life.

I let mine drain right down that first day then I charged to 100% overnight.

I currently get to end of day with around 50-60% left
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dilema:
You should always charge them to full before first use. The charge that's in there is only a manufacturing charge, which is enough to keep the cells active.

Also, you shouldn't drain it completely. Lithium works best from around 30%-80% charge.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BR4DOKYBrazil:
What I find strange is why other brands of devices do not have this rule??
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raducanmihai:
Li-ion batteries don't need to be fully charged before first use. They don't suffer from "memory" like Ni-Cd. But it is true that for best life you should charge it between 20/30%- 80%. If you plan on storing the phone without use for a long time, best is to charge it to 50-60% (not 100%) and put it away.

Go use and enjoy your phones!

PS: A few laptop manufacturers (like Samsung) have an "extended battery life" mode that you can enable where the battery stops charging at 80%.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dilema:
Not all devices may say it, but all should be charged before initial use.

You're right, they don't have the memory effect, but they do need charging before use. But yea, storing with at least 2/3rd charge is best.

BTW I sell batteries for a living, have done for 15 years.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sh4dovv:
Ok so is the correct answer yes, charge for 30mins or not necessary? Seems both sides of argument has support:confused:
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackos:
As an electrical engineer I have to say: You should charge it before first use. 30 mins charge should be fine.

Well, it might be not so obvious for the battery in Z2, as it was manufactured not a long time ago, but it could end up in battery degradation, if the battery has been stored for a long period of time without usage.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sh4dovv:
Ok so with the Z2's being manufactured within the last month it probably isn't needed then :p
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackos:
Well, it's hard to say. Precharging the phone won't hurt.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edge3uk:
I charged my first z2 for half an hour, and my second one was up and getting flashed within ten mins. I actually found the second one to be better on battery. I do agree that if the phone has been sat dormant for a long while you should charge, but as these things have literally just been made it'll make zero difference.

I use gmail and ChompSMS, since we are all about debloating the system, is it possible to disable the stock apps for email and text or do 3rd party apps use them as a source?

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riffer:
//EDIT: it seems my P900 is the victim of a 'strange' network configuration and nor the specific hotspot is the source of the problem.

I am sitting at work and we have a 2,4 Ghz Wifi with Enterprise PSK.

My brand new P900 connects to it but after a minute or two the network traffic dies silently.

The app wifi analyze tells me the connection is very good the whole time. So there seems to be no problem.

What I have done so far:

- deleted wifi connection from device and made a cache wipe

- completly wiped the whole device.

Nothing helped. After a short reconnect the net is back but it dies the same way as described.

Same network thethered over my Samsung S3 via Bluetooth works but that is not a good solution for me.

Any tip how to solve this issue?

I would try any method including root but afaik there is no way back to unroot and return device to vendor because of this knox flag?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obarryon:
I used a fastboot cable to attempt to load a factory ROM to a Kindle Fire model p48wvb4 in order to fix some flakiness I had with the device, and now I cannot boot, as the device goes to the fastboot screen whether the cable is connected or not. I got this device used, and was under the impression that it was a 2nd gen HD but maybe it is HDX.

Anyway, I used KF First Aide to attempt to load 10.2.3 on it, and everything appeared to operate fine. However it reboots directly to fastboot screen, and I cannot find a way around this. I've done the power switch reset thing, have redone the KFFA load several times, and nothing helps. As you can see in the second picture, the Fastboot screen comes up without any cable attached to the device. The first photo shows the result of flashing with KFFA.

Please help!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
Even though the script says it completed it didn't. It was much to fast of a process. KFFA is a great tool but it needs a update. You will need to get a fastboot cord. Try this tool to restore http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2035047

Hi guys,

I'm working for Avocarrot and we are developing a new app monetization product to embed mobile ads inside content streams (more details at: avocarrot.com/docs/#/android/instream).

If you are working with lists for your apps, we have a few questions we'd like to ask:

1) Do you use usually use ListView, ExpandableListView or both?

2) Do you use usually create your own adapter by extending and overriding the BaseAdapter, ArrayAdapter, CursorAdapter?

3) Would you prefer fully customizing appearance of the ads using your own XML or drag-and-drop templates that are quick to integrate?

Any brief answers will be appreciated!

Also known as..LG G2 Mini D 625.

Anyone.have this version ?

13 megapixel Cam Quad Tegra 4 i .

Also reviews are very mixed and conflicting on the SPEAKERPHONE volume some say good, some say bad.

What are your experiences on speaker and camera ?

Can you email photos directly from SD Card ?

Thank You

I don't know how the D625 but my speakerphone works OK, no problems with it, I'm using D620r.

My wife have problems with hearing and when she is using my G mini, she have no problems with it(normally she is using hearing aid).

Don't know what do you mean by saying directly form SD, I'm using gmail app for sending pictures, and have no problem with it.
[LG G2 Mini] robertkoa:
Thanks Batuss , just what I need to know about speakerphone, I like to use Internet Radio on my phone while working sometimes, so a

fairly loud speakerphone ( like S4 mini, S3 etc ) is good.

Regarding photos, suppose there are 2 GIG of photos on SD. CARD,

Can you access SD Card from Email App and attach photos to Email.

Important on G2 Mini because you start with only about 4 GIG Memory, then after Apps

not much room to store photos...so direct from SD Card to Email.

When you attach a Photo to Email it should have a folder for SD Card.

Does it ?

Few things I'd like to do to this excellent, underrated phone I just picked up yesterday.

I was able to root it after a day of twiddling with it, but there is more that needs to happen, and some more questions for you all:

1) TWRP - is there any compatible versions out there?

2) Does GAPPS replace things like the crappy stock gallery app? Would I be able to install it over the stock rom?

3) Cyanogenmod - any chance it'll be supported? Hardware specs on this seem more than adequate.
