[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thetruejay20:
Some how my efs folder contents got deleted while flashing, or restoring a nand backup. Nothing crazy, but now only data works can't call, or receive texts. I've found some topics on this, none pertaining to the S5 how ever. So long story short my efs folder is empty, and I have no backup. I was wondering if there is some type of fix like this - http://zidroid.com/how-to-fix-failed-to-mount-efs-for-galaxy-s3-gt-i9300/

I've also tried to reflash stock firmware via Odin with no luck.

Thanks for any help.

In your nandroid backup, did you select EFS?? If you did you can use Nandroid Manager Pro and extract your EFS files and be good to go!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thetruejay20:
Unfortunately my nand backups didn't work I tried restoring efs with them, and had no luck.

APN flash did nothing. But was able to call tech support, and did a "CHLS Refresh". I'm able to make/receive calls, and send/receive texts. However my efs folder is still empty, but everything works...
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thetruejay20:
Every time I reboot my phone it still says I'm in Factory mode, efs folder is still empty. Is it time to bring it in? Lol

Bump
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thetruejay20:
Finally after trying a few things I finally figured it out, and now have files in my EFS folder, and no longer boot into "Factory Mode".

Here are the steps I used -

Boot your device into recovery mode

Connect your device to PC via USB cable

In recovery mode Choose “mount and storage > mount /system”

Open ADB command window and type :

su

mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p12

mount -w -t /dev/block/mmcblk0p12

reboot

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giozera:
Hello

I got my xperia z2 D6503 2 days ago brand new sealed. I inserted my Net10 sim and it worked like 1 day and than I noticed that there was signal issue first I thought it was because of area than I found out it was phones fault since same sim card worked perfectly on my old xperia z and also on xperia z2 Tab and on my brothers galaxy s4. strange thing is it shows low signal only when LTE is on and I can send and receive text messages but I can't make calls. as soon as I turn off LTE it looses signal and no text or call go through. :confused:

I tried factory reset, 2 different sim cards, even bought new sim card, numerous restarts and nothing helps. searched web for this issue and nothing at all.

so anyone else had this experienced? any solutions?

thanks

Same issue with my z2... only when I hold it a certain way... I'm on Bell mobility in Canada and got the phone a few days ago.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lawrence1m:
I've been experiencing the same issue ever and I've had my phone over a month, I'm on EE in the uk running the .55 firmware. My phone is currently in repair to fix this problem so I'll get back to see if it can be fixed
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giozera:
Sony has no solution in USA and can't repair so I returned for exchange to seller. I though it was only me so looks like gonna be big issue
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCDillon:
Hey, so did the exchange solve the problem for you? I am using NET10 as well and while I do get signal on all networks (2G. 3G, etc..) I notice that it isn't as good as almost any other phone I've had. I live in an area that has poor signal and places that I get 1-2 bars on other phones I get 0-1 on this phone, though when I'm in upper town where signal is great I get about the same as others do. I'm just not sure if my phone is defective or this is just how it is. I really don't want to wait to exchange plus the seller seems reluctant to do so..
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ken_Burnside:
I had to fix my APN (wireless &networks -> mobile data).

I Google the correct settings for my carrier(ATT/USA), and saved the updates and it worked IMMEDIATELY.

it's been solid since ever since. Note there are differences for the 3g VS LTE versions. Make sure you enter the right settings.

Good luck!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giozera:
I got replacement toda so far so good.

yea I noticed that signal is not as strong as it was on my Xperia Z. even lost signal at the places where my Z was solid. hope this could be solved with future software update.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giozera:
I did entered correct APN's as I mentioned it was working great for almost day and Than suddenly stopped working so if I had entered wrong APN's it wouldn't worked first time I powered it on. plus same sim card worked well on other LTE phone while was not working on my new Z2, so it was not APN issue.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluheart:
Try rebooting 3-4 times and then wait. This should solve the problem.

Check the baseband version online and on your phone.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ken_Burnside:
There is also a firmware update but you have to cable your phone to a computer and let it install the Sony software on the PC/MAC ... Mine updated yesterday...

Worth a shot if you haven't done so already.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCDillon:
Thanks man, it seems that's just how the phone is, maybe I can stop worrying so much about that now, especially since this Z2 I have has no defects that are so plentiful on other user's phones.

And like I said, it's not such a big deal when I'm in places with adequate coverage so it's tolerable. I updated to .402 yesterday and there isn't any change with signal but I'm holding out for more updates that can help out with coverage. I'm thinking once the Z2 is released in some way in the US (carrier or Sony store) that there will be an update then that may help us out.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickaysen:
I'm probably the last person to be offering advice in this forum, however, just a couple days ago I noticed I had no data connectivity at all. Calls and texting still worked, but no cellular data. All my APN setting were correct and even though airplane mode was not selected, turning it off and on again got my data connection back. Just something stumbled upon and I have no idea if it applies to anyone elses issue here. Just thought I'd toss it out there in case it helps just one person.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giozera:
Solve which problem? The one i posted in very first post or the weak signal on my replacement? I did more than 5 reboots to solve first proble but nope.

Now this very weak signal worries me it loosed signal at places where my old Z was great. Hope this phone doesn't end up super problematic :(

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giozera:
phone is amazing everything works smooth, but weak signal is getting on my nerves! looses signal very often and data gets really slow because of low signal even when LTE is available. I live in brooklyn ny and my xperia Z didn't have this issue at all. hopefully this could be fixed soon by software update.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] augie7107:
Drop down quick settings from home and ensure LTE is ticked on.

Same problem

My sisters got the same problem,

Help line, Tech team no help what so ever !!!

Been on the phone for over 2 weeks !!!

They wont solve the problem what so ever !

One tech team even said "buy a new phone" !! such great customer service !!

They are wanting £150 for it so it can be "fixed"..... also wanting £40 for the month contract despite not having the phone !!!

I understand who you feel... they are no use what so ever and rude...

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] TheBlasphemer:
Right, I love experimenting with programming, and I totally adore reverse engineering stuff. So naturally with my Universal being windows-ish and all, and with that funny bootloader, I couldn't resists but do some experiments.

I used buzz's method of creating a nice new bootscreen:

However, in my eyes the process was too complicated. You first have to run stuff on your phone, then you need to convert the image, then use some exotic .batch file to flash it to your phone, and even overwriting bytes that aren't even needed to get it to work.

So I set off to create something better :)

Here's the first result, a package with a full HTML tutorial and everything you need. It still has a downside, namely that it actually hard-resets your device, but I'm still working on that :)

today i was talking to my friend and noticed they didn't have their Z1. so i asked what happened and i came to the conclusion of a doa (dead on arrival its a common problem) Z1. I have it in hand now, and when the phone turns on i can hear and feel android running as its reaction to touch and responding with vibration and sound but i cant see anything as the screen is black the LED notification light also lights up. I am running ubuntu on a chromebook and have any other computers at this time so i cans use SUS any ideas how i can fix this phone.

I have a LG Optimus G Pro (E980)

I'm using CWM PhilZ touch.

I hit format/reset factory settings and flash the rom

It'll work fine without gapps.I forgot to install gapps so I went back and installed gapps and then got some error about setup wizard closed blah blah.

Am I using a wrong version with it? I'm installing a Nightly build of Pac-Rom.

Thanks in advance.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ricco333:
If the phone works fine without the Gapps, then the problem is not the ROM, it is the Gapps package. Which Gapps are you using? Try the PA Gapps or Banks, Slim Gapps is also good.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mediumsteak:
Hello folks,

I've had the Rogers Galaxy S 5 for about a week now, and since day 1 I have noticed excessive battery drain by "Android System". This source of drainage occurs especially during idle periods of time causing me to experience rather poor battery performance.

This here is a sample of what my battery stats look like at any given time, notice "Android System" is virtually always the number 1 source of battery consumption.

I executed a factory reset on the second day of ownership to examine whether this drain would be solved. It wasn't.

I went to bed, and woke up in the morning to check Gsam Battery monitor which gave me this chart:

Notice the part I highlighted in red which demonstrates the overnight battery usage!

Also, GSAM battery monitor still displays "Android System" as the source of the drain.

Among my colleagues I am the only one experiencing this phenomenon, and I am going to factory reset for the third time right now.

Going to run the stock firmware to see whether I am still experiencing this.

I will report back with any new findings soon, hold on tight to your seats!

-Disable Location in the notification drop down

-Turn off Hot Word detection for Google Voice Commands.

-Disable bloatware

-Turn off always active WiFi in advanced WiFi settings.

Can anyone get me a log of the superSU crash? It's hard for me to pinpoint the problem since I don't have any of these problems in any version.

I do know that leftover files on your internal sd from some apps can cause these problems. Format the sd card may help (just internal one).

In the other hand you can wait till this weekend for the new version which may solve all of these issues.

Downloaded v1 official release and according to the build its beta 4. Also surprised to find out that this ROM is based on slim 5.2 when 5.4 has been out for a while now.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] BioVolt:
You are right about the beta 4 showing up, that's just something developers overlook sometimes because they are so busy working on everything else. You can change it yourself to v1.0 yourself if it really bothers you that much, with a build.prop editor.

As for the base, maybe the new build that he is building with new base is v5.4 from slim, we don't know, it's a surprise ?

Halo implementation top notch - Ive experienced lots of bugs with other KK roms and halo.

Really awesome rom ,thanks for your work man.

I would say it needs a theme manager but i found an Xposed module for the themes and one even for battery bar :D

One suggestion though, if maybe you could put in OmniSwitch ? thatll really make it perfect for me
