[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mswlogo:
Not good. I'm sick of the S5 and just bought a shiny new M8 HK.

I thought I'd get used to the Samsung Software. I still hate it.

Since no phone properly knows how and when to use Hands Free Protocol vs AD2P Bluetooth I have to shut AD2P Off on all phones so I can hear Nav instructions and have the car radio on.

If you shut AD2P off on the S5 it constantly puts up Error Messages. Eventually if you do want AD2P and try to turn it on, you can't and you have to unpair and repair again.

The S5 Camera is great. The stock camera App is terrible as is all Samsung Apps. What drives me crazy is Video. If you record Landscape it wants to play back portrait. If you record portrait it wants to play landscape. Not many PC apps will play the native S5 Videos. I always have to convert them. Camera Stills rotation works fine.

I will miss the quality of the camera itself, it's extremely good. And I like the weight and aspect ratio and wireless charging.

The ROM development is nothing like HTC. SVN, what's that?

The Stock Samgsung Browser is a Joke. I've been getting by Opera Beta, but still prefer HTC Stock Browser.

I've tried everyone out there. Only Opera Beta and HTC know how to fit text properly.

Lot of calls go straight to Voice Mail. Although that has been better lately. And that may not be entirely the phone.

I've been having weird issues in the car where the Radio will come back on (like it dropped the call), but the call is still active and then it comes back and if the other person was talking they never knew anything happened !!!

If I could get free wifi tether on an iPhone6 without Jailbreaking I'd probably get a iPhone6.

If not for OMJ's and Captain and a few others I probably would have just stayed with S5. S5 and M8 are still the top two phones.

I don't use any of the Samsung gadgets. Never even was tempted to try them once.

The lock screen is messed up and would constantly be running apps in my pocket. Finally had to add a passcode. Even with that it's still running apps in my pocket !!

I really miss blinkfeed. The S5 magazine is ok, but blink feed is way better. My wife loves it on her M7, shes always in it.

I was almost tempted to buy another M7. That was a great phone. But I do like the better LTE performance on both M8 and S5.

I didn't miss the M8 speakers, I thought I would, but I sure will be happy to have them back.

My only dread is going back to the lack luster M8 camera.

The S5 needs to reboot if you want to change CMDA vs LTE and I think it wants to reboot on Roam Only.

The Recovery TWRP is very weak lots of issues.

Once S5 is rooted there is NO WAY to hide it. Your totally screwed on warranty. At least with S-OFF you can hide it was rooted to bring it in.

I hope next year is better but I can't stay with S5 that long.

Every time I've posted an issue or complaint it gets closed or moved to some subforum that nobody responds to.

Like a thread like this one would not survive.

whatever the reason you should have kept your reciept. Law says if you bought a phone from overseas you have to prove it with invoice/reciept that it was legal purchase, copies not accepted because they can be forged, Turkey have lost too much money/tax because of illegal mobile phone importes and i belive blocking unregistered IMEI is the best solution
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hungarian:
you must be joking novolust...right?

Sorry mate, but what kind of law ist that? You cant start thinking as a legislative like that. First of all and quite everywhere in civilized countries yozu are as long free of guilt until guilt is proven.....full stop..... Even in Turkey! Full Stop again! I promisse you if they do not stop this many tourists will realy be pissed like hell...

So what is better, loosing some money on taxes not paid for "stolen" or not legaly bought in Turkey (which might be in the summer season about 25% of all booked in phones) or loosing a lot of money when all the tourists decide to sh*t on nice beaches when they cant use their mobiles.

I promisse you mate, if this is true and this sh*t hits the fan there will be quite an outcry all over Europe.

I cant believe it....

I life in a fomer socialist country, there is a lot of crap goin on here. But that sheit tops it by some..

Sorry for the outcry, but I cant believe that our mate novojelust things that this law is fair....

Just my little piece of crap on a whole bunch

to me its basic , if you dont register your phone in 3 months it will get block and you will have to regiter it thats it
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sokomind:
Please immediately go to an Turkcell Shop with your passport and register it without paying so much money. Only abaut 3 4 dolars.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] techx:
Wow...

And i thought Asian countries were bad, sheesh. I always thought Turkey was a modern secular country, but guess the saying of "the grass is greener on the other side" doesn't not apply in this case.

Sure our human rights record sucks and corruption is all time high, but a man should have his rights for the mobile device he owns. In this case the Jasjar or O2 Uni Exec unit absolutley deserves some leeway of using it anyware in the world. It's tough enough to carry this lil giant but to deny the use of it, that is craps, just plain ol crap.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] BattleKing:
This is about wrong information. You just need to register your phone's imei by going any telecommunicarion shot like turkcell, vodafone, or government office in airport.

Your passaport is enough to register it.

Jesus,i can't believe this,sounds lika a new episode of LOST :) Sorry you had so much trouble.. crazy stuff..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cybertronics:
Unfortunately mobiler is right. Our goverment makes really stupid decisions about our country. If they want to block un offical mobile phone trading in customs, they could block people paying off to the custom officers. I thing they tryin to cover what all the illegal things there...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hooperman:
This is not something new, i regulary go to Turkey for business and hols and if you do not register the phone then after (normally three months) your IEMI is blocked, I understand that one of the main reasons for this was to stop the import of dodgy phone coming in from the blackmarket and to some degree, it has worked mind you, i bought a turkish phone and use Turkcell and i have to leave the handset in Turkey when i come home because if the sim is not used, or topped up after three months then it is locked out,,,,which for a travelling person to keep a phone constantly topped up is a bit of a joke.

registering your pda might be free. i don't understand this "150€" thing.

anyway. i'm turkish and i think this law is bull****. luckely i was import a htc touch from hong kong and registered it with a passport for free.

but if you register one phone you can't register another one in a year.

[Sprint LG G2] DoubleCrxssed:
I'll be the first to admit I royally screwed myself here through lack of reading. I came here from the evo 4g lte after upgrading and decided it was time to root this phone. I had the zvc update. Here was my exact process:

1. used ioroot- successful

2. used flashify to flash twrp- unsuccessful (secure boot error)

3. flashed zv7-aboot.img through adb- phone gives up the ghost

So now my phone is stuck at the LG logo and the led that usually lights up when it is booting stays dark. I can get my phone into download mode but no further. Any and all help is welcome.
[Sprint LG G2] Evil-Droid:
dont panic!

I think You have no other options except for flashing the stock firmware. Flashing the stock will unbrick your device.
[Sprint LG G2] DoubleCrxssed:
Fix in the works

Yea, I just found this thread about reverting to stock. I'm gonna try the TOT method and see if that works because the 1st method doesn't agree with my computer.
[Sprint LG G2] Evil-Droid:
Okay..Good luck unbricking!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BeefJerkyAddict:
Hello, everyone! I'm in search of a hero who can help me resolve this (frustrating) issue! I'm sure you have heard it before: my phone will not boot fully; it is instead stuck permanently on the white VERIZON logo screen.

Model: SCH-I545

Carrier: VERIZON

Color: BLACK

Size: 16GB

The phone has not been rooted.

It does not have USB debugging enabled.

I have not installed any custom recovery software or mods.

There is no external SD card installed.

First, some back story. My phone asked me to perform a software update roughly a week ago. About a minute into the update, it told me the update failed. I assume this occurred because I was on the train and passed through a tunnel. Afterwards, my phone began acting up, rebooting itself randomly, and applications(such as web browser, text messaging) would randomly crash on me. I assumed another update would come to resolve the issue, but unfortunately yesterday(Sunday), my phone again rebooted itself, only this time it would not make it past the white VERIZON screen.

My goal is simply to recover my files from the device before either returning it or performing a factory reset. I have scoured the internet for hours trying to find a way to achieve this. I can boot my device into the stock recovery console and into ODIN download mode. I have tried clearing my phone's cache in recovery mode, which did not help. I have tried booting into safe mode by repeatedly tapping the menu screen, but it did not help.

I have ADB installed and a USB driver from Samsung and a USB driver from Google. I can get my phone to appear using ADB in sideload mode only while in the recovery console. Unfortunately, this is of limited use because apparently it can only be used to install software packages, and the phone seemingly rejects all attempts to install packages such as CWM and TWRK, which I had hoped would allow me to use the ADB pull command.

I have tried installing these mods using ODIN as well. Again, failure due to security apparently. :crying:

If anyone has any idea how I can retrieve the files from my phone, you'll be my hero forever! :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Sounds like that upgrade definitely went wrong. Since you were upgrading to Kit Kat I'd say flash the No Wipe file from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2735172

Your phone won't allow for CWM or TWRP recoveries since it's a build past MDK. Also if you want prior to using that Odin file go to play store and get the app " Samsung phone info" and run that app and take a screen shot of the bootloader section. Actually do that before hand anyways. I'll link you to it

Hi BeefJerkyAddict,

I would reccomend to do a total full wipe with Odin, this usually solves all of your problems. All of your stuff should be clear for restoring once you do that. But after you do the full wipe, immediately go to settings and then software update because your phone will be on android 4.3 and not 4.4.2.

Here is the link with the instructions as well:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Yea I guess I'm just biased to updating straight to kit kat lol if the op has the chance to stay on mk2 he might as well. And I suggested no wipe first just so not to lose data. Up to the op though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BeefJerkyAddict:
Hi guys,

Just posting to say THANK YOU for the help. After a long download, I got ahold of the VRUFNC5 No-Wipe file and successfully installed it using ODIN3 v3.09 without a hitch! All of my pictures, videos, text messages, are all right where they were, and my operating system is upgraded.

Thank you so much for taking the time to point me in the right direction. :) I had nearly given up!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *GalaxyDev*:
A friend of mine has a T-Mobile HTC One and he bricked it, he asked me for help, knowing I'm very good with tech and android. But the thing is that I know everything but from Samsung, I always try to read a lot and learn from new devices to fix them or even try something because I'm always asked for help from my family, sure you guys know about that, but sadly I'm in finals and I'm barely sleeping and I've read a little but not enough but need I to help him so that's why I ask you guys for help urgently. Here are the things I know:

The phone is trapped in a bootloop after the Cyanogenmod logo and restarts itself after a minute

It is S-ON but unlocked

It is the M7_UL T-Mobile model

It is on HBOOT 1.56

The Radio is on 4A.24.32.63.09

The OS 4.19.531.10

It can still enter recovery and is recognized by my PC

From what I've read that has been a little bit, I can restore it completely with a RUU (kind of like a .tar in ODIN for Samsung), but it has to be Relocked and in other sites it says that it has to be S-OFF, needless to say that I don't know what tools to use and then I've seen that that Hboot 1.65 is not supported and well right now I have to create my SQL project, sorry to ask you guys as I hate when other do it just to not read but I swear this is not the case.

Help to fix this will be very appreciated
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bored_stupid:
First thing, try this

Force reboot: press and hold POWER + VOLDOWN (under a bright light, not kidding!!), after about 5 seconds or so buttons should start blinking, and after 30 seconds or so, the phone will reboot, let go of POWER, but keep holding VOLDOWN to get back to bootloader.

Then reboot.

(you may need to try 2 or 3 times to get it right)

What recovery do you have?

CWM has problems with 4.4.2.

The rom bootloops

Install twrp 2.6.3.3

Make sure it's for your phone.

If that doesn't work, do you know how to post a fastboot getvar all.

When i use other Root Explorer, the path /sys/Android_awb_blabla... at top there it write "mounted as Read/Write", which means

i can rewrite it, but i cant, even with Root Explorer :victory:

Anyway to replace it ? Thanks :good:

Does anyone else have this problem: When I plug in my charger i get two different crash messages that "Video Player has stopped working". This is the default samsung player.

[Micromax Canvas 4 A210] mumayank:
It is clear from my 4 canvas series experiences that audio quality of micromax canvas series sucks big time. I've been doing a lot of tweaks to get the desired audio taste, but no good. Recently flashed a custom rom Revolution HD, telling you awesome audio. The best so far. Completely samsung experience. But then canvas 4 looks are addictive. Gives you a stock feeling which I love. So flashed back Pranjal's rom. Which obviously gave me back the sucking audio quality.

Beats audio, xloud, pureaudio all tried. Not satisfactory. Please help me out!

These 2 months I've been trying to search such music quality as of that ROM's like its my crush!! But none provides it. None. Please create a backup, flash Revolution HD ROM , listen to any one song just one time. I bet you'll crave for more! Man, but that ROM is having issues with wifi, etc. So I needed to flash new ROM on my device. Otherwise nothing beats Revolution HD's sound quality man. Nothing!!

No lies, not fraud, no nothing except a faulty power port and honesty and I ended up with a 4.3 note 3 again

Pant, pant..WHAT DO I DO, I know Kingo root. Titanium backup first. The opporturnity to use my microsd card again! I am actually excited!

And after Kingo, how do I not AT&T upgrade?

I am hearing it forces you after a little while, what do I do? I really want to keep my root!

Ok, so if I am at 4.3, and want to keep my root, is there a path to kk that still has root? I would prefer the non ss route. BTW, the main thing that makes me root is I want to use my Microsd card and when unrooted backup and other apps seem unable to access it properly.

SS is the only way to go. There are no downsides to using SS to use a custom ROM.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Honeybadger:
Seems like kk isn't worth the effort, you can't access the Microsd, the wifi Hotspot is locked off unless you pay at&t and all issues have been fixed in 4.3, anything gained?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Honeybadger:
Read in xda it's slow because it's using flash memory.

Not at all slow.

Your stock ROM runs on the same thing your storage does. The EMMC.

Plus, with SS and KK, you have to flash to the stock slot.

Got back root on 4.3, Sweet Archemedes this feels good, like my phone again!

Stock slot, would that be the one that is the original ROM?

Dynamic Kat looks intreguing.But it says I have to have KK first. Can I get DK working from JB rooted?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:
Indeed it is.

Use this guide. (replace the Urdroid KK ROM that he says to download with DynamicKat)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2712039

Then head over to our development section and find the SS thread.

You will need both 3.71 and 3.72

3.71 will get you to KK with the guide. Once there, you will need to reinstall it and use it to uninstall the recovery.

Then uninstall the app.

After that, install 3.72 and use it to install your new recovery. That way you don't have to use odin every time you want to flash a mod or new kk rom

So I'm on stock 4.3. Mj5. I have rooted and I'm confused on getting to custom firmware. I've played with SS 3.71. But I tried to install custom Ron but was unsuccessful. Can someone tell me or link me to a thread. Please. I just came from a galaxy s3 to the n900a. I'd like to start with cm11.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:
1. Don't hijack threads

2. Only TW based ROMs can be flashed.

3. Go read the SS development thread.

You need to make sure you are on 3.71 when trying to flash a 4.3 ROM and 3.72 to use KK.

Read my post above.

Hi guys,

Just got my atom exec few days ago, it's much better than my old O2mini, much faster, the camera is better.

I notice a problem, when charging via the USB port, the camera's flash light(LED) on the back will light up a bit. When finish charge, the light is still on, but much dimmer, I try different things, reflash ROM etc. the light is still on.

when a fully charged battery is connected to the phone, the LED will glow, very dim glow(even the phone is off), if the battery have less power(50%), can't observe any light(maybe too dim?)

so there must be a current leak, right? or is it a design fault?

my unit is eating the battery quite fast, using SPB benchmark(battery test section) I got runtime of about 4h20m(Max Backlight, Standard using). everyday usage is also around 4h(BT,Wifi,IR, off, only GPRS is on sometime)

how's your unit's battery runtime? please share.

I wasn't sure whether my unit eat the battery so fast is because of the LED current leak problem. If it is, I have to bring it for service... which is exactly what I don't want to do. who know what other problem might happen after~~huh.

Please share your point of view on this.... Thanks...
