Same thing often happens to me. It isn't every time I use the flash, but probably 75%. Once it does this crazy flash thing, then the camera no longer zooms properly until I close out of the program and reopen. It happens with the stock camera and 3rd party (camera360).

I replaced my lg g2 lcd today, but now my wifi and bluetooth strength is super weak. I have to be pretty close to my router just to use wifi, and my bluetooth speaker has to be literally 2 inches away from my phone to work. Does anyone know what I can do or what part I need to replace in order to fix this? :confused:

hello!

Just finished rooting and am enjoylng the process of customizing the phone (not considering ROMS yet). Ive done considerable reading regarding permissions apps and firewalls but much of the info seems to be outdated or lacking. Feel free to direct me to any threads I may have missed which might help.

LBE privacy gaurd vs PDroid vs ???? - LBE previously seemed to be the go to for permission setting but seems to have fallen out of favour due to lack of support for newer builds and potential collection of user data. PDroid seems to come in several iterations (open, mamager) and I wasnt sure which would be best as of this point. Thoughts?

Droidwall vs Android Firewall - DW seemed to lose developer support and was again picked up in the form of AF. However, both appear to exist in the Play store. Throughts on firewall apps?

Lastly, any thiughts or guidance on having both a FW and permissions app? Neccesarry.

Thanks

I think this may be in the wrong forum :( sorry. If it is a move to the appropriate forum would be great.

Adding to the discussion I'm having with myself after further reading:

So Pdroid Manager needs a "custom framework". Even after reading that app's thread I don't know what that is so I dont think its for me. I need something more user friendly. So what would be the best option for me (my previous conerns about LBE stand)?

What is the diff between android fw and android fw+? Fw recommendations still appreciated
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] xdm9mm:
I had a UAG case on my Note 3 but I hated it because it was very difficult to remove. It actually feels a lot rigid that those on my S3 and S4. The worst part is that it retains heat, so when I'm playing games, the heat goes higher with the UAG case than other normal cases, and it stays for a lonbegr time when I have stopped using the phone. This is also the same on my S4.

I have returned my UAG for the Note 3 and looking for an alternative that is not too bulky, and easy to remove.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ShadowLea:
Try Otterbox. I've got the Commuter, great case.

It's doubled the thickness if you count the edges on the screen, has flaps to protect the ports and is easy to pop off in one go. (By pushing off the top over the corners with both thumbs.) Haven't noticed any heat issues whilst playing heavy games. It never goes over 38ºC. (At which point my phone starts setting off alarms. So I'd have noticed.)

Mate of mine has the UAG on his note 3. Looks amazing, but it's too bulky for me. As ironic as this is going to sound, it has to fit in the (extended) pocket of my skinny jeans. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] darkshaft:
I have UAG and I have no issues with heating, only thing I dislike but not hate, is removing the case which is a bit difficult, but overall this case is elegant has very attractive looks and very protective.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] airmaxx23:
I have 2 UAG cases and really like them a lot. I don't have any problems removing them, just undo one top corner and then the other and pop it out.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] willywill:
I only hate the honeycomb grip along the side, that's it. It's my only case and i have no plans on buying something else :p
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] crash_194:
I think it scratches relatively easily on the back which is annoying. Also, I think the cut out for the s-pen is unnecessarily large, looks like a total after thought in my opinion almost like they forgot to include it in the design. I have a tech 21 impact tactical which I prefer much more.

sent from my Galaxy Note 3
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bmoreboy02:
I dont like uag for the fact i had one for my htc on m8 and one on my s4 and both cases ended up leaving scratches at the cut out for the IR blaster. It looked really bad on my htc one bc it was the all black one. I had the commuter for my note 3 and liked it alot. It has a gloss back finish that did scratch kind of easy. I switched out for the camo defender. Left the commuter screen protector on and popped the defender one off. The defenders for the note 3 are alot slimmer then previous phones
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] HowlTowardsTheMoon:
Agree. I have the otterbox defender and its perfect will withstand anything as well..
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] xdm9mm:
I have tried otterbox before for my S3 and Note 2 and they are very bulky, so I don't like em.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
I've always seen it as a perfect middle ground between size and protection. It's still fairly bulky compared to a TPU case but it's not a monstrosity or a lint roller like the otterbox cases.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] abonaserf60:
very nice idea
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] christoph_2013:
The only thing that is bad about this case is that it's so damn hard to take off, I always feel like im going to break my screen trying to get the case off :P
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] flipq88:
Am I the only one who doesn't find it hard to remove? Anyways, I've loved and used Uag for my last 3 phones. I started using my Spigen Slim Armor, which I was liking better than uag since it was slimmer. But the slim armor scratches way too much on the back. Now I'm using the Caseology Carbon Fiber case which I am loving. Not nearly as much protection, but I think my Iloome Tempered glass and this case is plenty enough.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] oriental_noodle:
For those who finds it difficult to remove the UAG case, I had the same problem before until I found an instruction on youtube :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nyjumpman:
Been using uag cases for my last couple of phones and love em

Never really noticed the retained heat before but ultimately pay attention to it from now on

I agree it's difficult to get off but isn't that the point of a protective case? I hate the cheap flimsy ones that easily snap off
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] rawrfische:
When UAG was my main case, I found that pulling it off from one of the corners was easiest. Only thing is, I feared for my buttons because the edges rubbed on the buttons every time I took it off. I never bothered to youtube it, so I imagine I was doing it wrong, especially since the case often pulled off my back cover at the same time lol.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] xdm9mm:
Protective does not necessarily mean diffcult to remove. For people like me who changes the battery specially when travelling, would appreciate a case that is easy to remove. The UAG cases for the S3 and S4 are ok and definitely easy, but I don't know why it is so hard on the Note 3 version. Maybe they use a better quality plastic on it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dr.m0x:
That used to bug me as well, hard to remove without taking the back plate with it.

It is great, and ironically it's still easier to remove than the UAG. Harder to put on though.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] airmaxx23:
I don't see how people find the UAG difficult to remove, I just pull back one top corner then the other and pull the phone out. It takes about 3 seconds.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] noobmaster:
Yeah it's actually incredibly easy to take out once you learn the trick to getting it off which is the method you mentioned. I usually take it out with one hand now.

I know the first couple times, I almost killed myself trying to take it out lol.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] w4rmk:
I have the Slate color UAG case and really like the feel and look. So far it is my favorite case. I never take it off. I carry a small battery pack in my laptop bag if I need a quick juice-up.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JayHic01:
Headphone Jack cut-out for the iPhone 7 & 7 Plus Cases

I have no idea why on the UAG Cases for the iPhone 7 & 7 Plus that they made a headphone jack cutout for the case, when the phone does not. I realize that it's also compatible with the 6 & 6s, but the phones are different, so the cases should be too. I don't like that they have done this. Maybe it's for saving money or something else I'm not aware of. I want them to fix it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sharmon:
I hate that they don't have a case for the Google Pixel phone!

Hey all,

I got the galaxy s5 about a month ago and went online and picked up a generic wireless receiver and charging pad. Every time I put the phone on to charge I would get a charge and then disconnect and it would keep doing that. Well I thought ill just get the official Samsung galaxy s5 wireless cover and went online found some good reviews of a tiled qi wireless charging pad. I got it all today and same thing. Move it around and still unable to get it to work. Tired multiple usb cords and still nothing. Only thing left to try is to get the Samsung charging pad. Anybody have any ideas?

i'm a veteran HTC user, and i'm looking for a rom for my wife's sprint g2. I'd like it to be fast and clean (rather than overly customized with a zillion options ala CM), de-bloated and better battery life if possible. there seems to be a lot of different roms for the different variants, but its all confusing, and the sprint g2 seems to get the least amount of roms of all the g2 variants.

[Sony Cross-Device General] pepitoff:
Uninstall preview Walkman (via ROMToolBox or manually via RootExplorer).

If you delete SemcMusic.apk from system/priv-app folder manually you need to delete also com.sonyericsson.music folder from data/data directory.

Then reboot your phone once and install new Walkman like normal app.

It works on my XperiaOverlay_anzu.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] crobs808:
I am about at my wits end...Rewind to two days ago...

Order of events:

1. Received my new S4 in the mail a few days ago to replace my old S3. I received the S4 fully updated with the NC5 OTA (yeah, I know, bad juju).

2. So I followed Surge's downgrade thread HERE and am now downgraded to the MK2 build, but with no sound and the telephone/calls app does not work.

3. I then downloaded GooManager and installed the OpenRecovery from TWRP, and it said it installed correctly. However, now I CANNOT GET INTO RECOVERY no matter how I try (via VolUp+Home+Power or via "Reboot into recovery" from the GooManager app). It just goes into Download mode with an error at the top in re that says "Could not do normal boot"

4. At this point the phone just boot loops into Download mode. Cannot go into recovery or the MK2 Rom. I then have to reflash the MK2 downgrade files in order (downgrade, system, cache) in order to get a working phone again :( and I have now probably done this at least 8 times. It is getting old.

So, I am curious what I need to do now. I have gone through the MK2 downgrade process multiple times and tried again to no avail. I also tried flashing the TWRP .Tar file (directly via Odin) but no luck also --- Is there like a super/clean ODIN file I can use that will also reset the recovery image on the phone? I feel that is my main problem, then I can fix the sound/phone problems after that.

This thing is 10x harder to get on CM than the S3 which I had running CM within 2 hours of ownership. I'd appreciate any help to get me back on path. :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] crobs808:
FYI - I can install Safestrap 3.71/3.72 and get into those fine, but if I want a chance of running CM I will need a Loki recovery right? If so, I just do not see how I am going to get there.

My ultimate goal is a clean rom, and I was so used to CM on my S3 that I'd hate to part with that, but if there is a Safestrap-friendly ROM that is very clean/similar, then I will take that any day. Ready to be done with this - easiest way out.

--edit--

Found this...can I just follow these steps or is that only for people still on MDK?? http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_jfltevzw
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
There's absolutely no way to get cm, aosp, or twrp on your device .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] crobs808:
Yeah, pretty sure I am convinced of that now. :crying:

So, should I upgrade to the rooted-NC5 (Surge's method), and THEN put a Safestrap-custom-ROM on, or just do it now running rooted-MK2?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Well it depends. If you stay on mk2 you can only run 4.3 roms but there's a lot of them. If you upgrade then you can run 4.4 roms but there's only a couple right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] crobs808:
I definitely want 4.4.x. I found THIS one called PurifieD (port by gogolie) which is supposed to be clean-ish. We'll see: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23487008491966540
