[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
OTA won't work if you've got a phone with modified files. You've got to return to factory stock before an OTA.

If you're desperate, use the Verizon Recovery agent to wipe and re-flash. Plug your phone into your PC, then open the Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant in the "Verizon Mobile" folder.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] montejw360:
Thanks. Went through this thread [ODIN][TAR] I545VRUFNC5 Factory and No-Wipe Odin tars and got the phone working again.

Tried the Verizon Software Upgrade program, but the links to it always took me to a blank page.

Where is the "Verizon Mobile" folder? On verizonwireless.com, or here on xda?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
On your phone. Plug it in, and the drive will appear. Windows and Mac apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] montejw360:
saw that come up many times, just never looked at it. good to know, thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ovreel:
Can you go into some detail on this? How would the process go with this tool? And why is it a desperation move?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
It's a "desperation move" because it wipes everything on the phone, downloads a factory stock image, then flashes it. Basically, it's a emergency recovery tool that shouldn't be used if you care about what's on your phone.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DooMLoRD:
hey guys i am having some serious issues with the phone app (core process) & contacts app crashing all the time on the new .402 firmware...

this happens irrespective of kernel

even tried wiping appslog, cache, dalvik-cache still no luck :(

any ideas would be greatly appreciated as i dont want to sit re-installing everything
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
did you update to .402 and if yes how?

could you provide details flashed, ota, data wipe blah blah etc etc

since the app is broken a way to fix (not sure if this works on an odexed rom) but obtain the apk that is misbehaving (a working one from a stock rom)

delete the apk (from system)and odex,reboot and settle for a bit make a flashable zip of the apk and flash (copying doed not work when the device is running)

misc:

you can use android tuner or apps alike to remake the odex for the app you replaced

the method above definatly works on a deodexed rom, ive probably gone through it thousands of times by this point, par due to my poor coding

the data for that individual app may be gone but i think thats due to what ever they did after 4.1 to the app data management
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DooMLoRD:
updated to .402 the usual way... flash everything except userdata partition in FlashTool...

i never use OTA only FTF... appslog wiped, cache wiped, dalvik-cache wiped...

i am on pure stock ROM...

any more thoughts?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackos:
Did you try to wipe data for phone, contacts... etc.?

If yes, time to wipe contacts/phone storage and resync those information using exchange etc.

Also, try to disable (uninstall) xposed. And change the DPI to stock if you're using a custom one.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DooMLoRD:
i dont use xposed framework..

wipe those apps data using Titanum backup right?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackos:
Sure, TB is one way to go.

Ermmm, what did you say? No Xposed? 0.o
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DooMLoRD:

getting really frustrated of this!

trying "Fixing Permissions" by ROM Manager
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beloero:
Hi DooMLoRD,

Did you restore/backup your contacts/messages with titanium-backup cause the contacts seems to crash cause the sqlite-db is locked.

I would try to clear the app-data/cache from contacts-storage and try again. (settings->apps->all->clear data/cache)

Or did you use any other apps wich are using the information from the contacts app.

I hope this solves it.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DooMLoRD:
tried it mate... no luck...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
I suggest backing up your data

Clear app data and if it doesnt work then flash a deodexed rom

The app should work and if it breaks again you can simply reflash the individual app after deleting from your system

If it still doesnt work then flash a FTF

And if it still doesnt work then it could be the usual app bug that causes an app to FC for no reason, in which case you will have to data wipe and a posible rom reflash

I found this was a common issue when making app mods for my self or even a varient FFL kernel or even a base rom

Phonebook crashes

Hi there,

I have a Z1C with last firmware, no root, no xposed, just the out-of-the-box phone and I have the same issue.

Phone crashes over phone and phone book apps. I also tried to re-install firmware through Sony tool (the official one in PC companion) and after a while once again.

I'm not sure but it started after I set up the custom sorting in the app drawer.

Z1c shows up crash windows with those processes:

TYTN as a modem

I've not tested my TYTN (VARIO II) as a modem yet, though I regularly connected my MDA PRO to my laptop at work initially via USB, and subsequently via bluetooth.

I was informed by T-Mobile that a bluetooth connection was less reliable than USB, however i found this not to be the case, and i rarely lost my connection via bluetooth vs REGULARLY had hangups with USB. The only drawbacks to a bluetooth connection appear to be that it drains your battery quicker and also that obviously the potential data transfer rate of bluetooth is inferior to USB 2.0.

I did have the T-Mobile Data Card for a while but cancelled the contract after a couple of weeks once i realised I could use the MDA as a modem! There really is no difference in signal quality/speed OR reliability (at least, I didn't find there to be any!).

I look forward to testing out my Vario II as a modem. I noticed immediately how much more reliable my 3g/GPRS connection is compared to the Pro - I rarely get the dreaded "cannot connect for an unknown reason"/ "no modem at the above number" error messages with my new handset, and if i do it reconnects TEN TIMES faster, so I can only assume it will make an even better modem than the pro.

At the very least, it LOOKS nicer!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] rav:
It took me about a week to get my TyTN working as a modem with my laptop. I was having all sorts of problems connecting. Eventually it started working and it's been trouble free since. I've now cancelled my Orange Data card and rely on the phone's 3G/GPRS modem via bluetooth (though USB and Infrared also work).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] 38h21543:
When you use a USB cable, do you still create a "dial up" type connection on the laptop?

If you know of some online instructions, please let me know.

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] rav:
Yes it's a dial-up connection.

Instructions are on the WIKI at:

Ditto with Windows (XP and Vista tested) - you don't need to run the Wireless Modem application to connect.
