[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martinowski:
Hey guys,

searched the web and the forums, with no result :(

I got a brand new G2 this thursday (thought why pay double for a G3 for features I don't need). After unpacking it I plugged it in and waited, until the LED turned green, aprox. 2 hours or so, and then turned it on the first time. I fiddled around with it a bit, was very pleased with the phone, then decided to update everything. On friday I went to work with it, played around with it every now and then, and around lunch time I noticed, that the battery showed 100% in the status bar. Wow, I thought, that's battery life :silly:

An hour later, the phone just turned off... and 'cause I realize you dont want to hear my life's story I will make it shorter now:

Phone didnt react to anything, plugged it in, battery logo appeared: 100%, turned it on (battery 100% in the status bar), turned it off and on (still 100%) let it load for a while, unplugged it, used it for a while, always 100%...

So no matter what I do, it always shows 100%. Turned itself off again since then. When I go to settings -> battery, in the field where it wants to show me the remaining time on battery, it just says "gathering battery info, please wait" (or something alike). Tried several battery apps, all showing me 100%.

Can anyone make something out of this?

Also, everytime when I turn the phone on, it shows me a message, that some process com.google.gapps (or so) was closed. When I delete the Cache of the play store then the message does not appear on the next restart, but on the 2nd restart after that it is there again...

:(

[MENTION=4900116]martinowski[/MENTION] - Here I have to ask a few basic questions: Is everything still stock as it came out of the box?

Not Rooted or rommed we assume?

It might be a HW fault requiring a return to seller.

Have you tried a 'Factory Reset" under 'Settings" / "Backup and Reset"

If that doesn't work I would return to seller before doing anything else - you do not want to risk your warranty!(assuming you have one):silly:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martinowski:
Everything is stock out of the box... I already assumed I would have to return it, but wanted to get a second opinion.

And yes, I did a factory reset, didn't work.

Always bad luck with my phones, now I am back to my one s with home button bug...

Hey,

I have a strange Problem. I am normally a expierienced XMP/mini repaired/flasher and I own 2 full working minis.Both working with custom ROMs without any problems. Because of I didnt like the scratches of camera lid I exchanged the backpiece of my white mini. Since I did that the phone doesnt have network anymore. I exchanged the 2 backpieces I have to see if its a problem of this, since this point BOTH dont have Network anymore...

I tried everything, flashing ROMs, Kernel, Baseband and changing the backpieces/mainbords from left to right but the problem still exist.

No I thought i may broke something, so i bought 2 broken Minis. I repaired and tested them- everything was working great, incl. networks/sim. Now I tested another backpiece and goddamnit, they still all dont have network again, even I set the backpiece back to the unit working before- now its not working anymore.

PS: the weird thing, in Manual network search, all devices finding german "eplus" and "telekom" network but not the "o2-telefonica" I need and use.

Can anyone let me know whats the problem? What can I test? What could I do?

Any Ideas?

Hello, don't know if there's a known issue, but i seemed to find that in Music+ and TuneWiki the covers of a MP3 file are shown in a very choppy quality...

Here's an example, the left one is the original 500x500 cover in the MP3 file, the right one is the Music+ screenshot.

It looks pretty bad, anyone knows a fix to this?
[General Topics] JasonLP:
Hi Menneisyys,

Thanks for the great in-depth report. Your comments are always very valuable and useful to me in improving the software.

Although clearly there is plenty of room for improvement with iLauncher's safe mode, I'd like to point out two factual errors:

1) iLauncher safe mode can be engaged when tapping on the Action button (center of the D-Pad) when the prompt is displayed.

2) iLauncher safe mode does disable services. However, it will allow services to run that were installed prior to installing iLauncher.

Again, thank you for your great analysis. As always I take this as a challenge to improve.

-Jason-
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Thanks for the comments!

Thanks, fixed this in the chart.

Yeah, you're right. I've tested services' disabling with the Battery bar previously installed; this is why I've missed this (wouldn't have thought it only disables services installed only later). Will fix this mistake ASAP and accordingly rewrite the article.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Article greatly updated, thanks to JasonLP.
[General Topics] monocube:
Thanks for the review :) Also, I'd like to mention my website is back up - SafeMode is also available there.

Hi,

I just dont really understand.

You said about "un-bootable" PPC, what does it means?

For example: I installed BADAPP.EXE and after that I did a soft-reset (boot?). Then the PPC is not started (unbootable).

Is this the situation?

If it is not started anymore, how can I fix the problem by using those 3 apps (mcube, pp+, ilauncher) ?

Or I guess I understood incorrectly?
[General Topics] KarhU:
After bad installation Windows can hang on after the second splashscreen (experienced that several times). Safe mode can help in such cases (tried iLauncher safe mode) though I prefer regular backups and conservative approach to installation of unknown applications.
[General Topics] rodalfa:
And what about safe mode 2? Somebody has tested it?

I like that it¡s a standalone app for this purpose.

Unfortunately, I don't have the time to keep all my Bibles updated with links pointing to my newer articles / roundups.

I've also reviewed the Safe Mode apps / additions released since the release (and also posted here at the General forum) - it's just that I ddidn'thave the time to post a UPDATE post in this thread.

[Sony Xperia ZL] Vendetto:
Hello all.

Yesterday i was using my XDA App on my XZL and somehow the xda app mislead me to some Samsung subforum instead of the ZL original Android Development Forum where i surely clicked on that. Then i thought there was a new rom... downloaded and flashed with no errors inside NUT's Recovery and then it turned into a brick. So no response from my ZL no charging LED, there is no way to go into Fastboot or Flashmode. It will be always recognized as QHSUSB_DLOAD in windows.

What i tried is a tool for linux from here http://unlimited.io/qhsusbdload.htm and at the end it says qdl reset but its still bricked. So i dont know what to do anymore. Oh and i never Unlocked my ZL i just had Exsistenz 5.0.0 Rom installed on it.
[Sony Xperia ZL] sturmtruppler:
What happens when you connect it with your pc, does your computer still recognize it as a phone? Did you try to use pc companion repair function?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Vendetto:
when i connect it will be seen as QHUSB_DLOAD, PC Companion and SEUS dont see the because of that.
[Sony Xperia ZL] foomanjackel:
have you tried the reset button? press it and hold it in and you should feel one vibration after a few seconds....keep holding it untill it vibrates 3 more times and it should turn it off/reset it.

then try using flashtool.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Vendetto:
Yeah i tried the reset button but its not working anymore its not even vibrating. It seems its complete dead.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Vendetto:
there is one thing i could do, to rewrite the phone through QPST from qualcomm but i dont have the files for my phone, so i would need a backup from an c6503 from QPST
[Sony Xperia ZL] foomanjackel:
just a thought...there was a time or two when just pressing the rest button did not work for me, what i had to do was hold in the power button at the same time as pressing the reset. hold them both till you feel one vibration, keep holding till you feel 3. sorry if thats no help.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Vendetto:
i Tried that but dont works too. Now i startet again ubuntu and did try the QHSUSB fix, so the ZL will be recognized as qualcomm modem blabla QDL mode that means qualcomm download mode. So when i do the qhsusb fix it will exit the qdl mode and try to reboot, but there are no partitions anymore on the phone so the phone enters again in QDL mode. When it exits QDL mode it will be connected as Qualcomm inc. in Ubuntu. at this time the Red led flashes for a few seconds until it gets back to QDL mode.

When the phone is unplugged and i press Power button one single time then the Led flashes 3 times Red, when i plug it in at the charger it flashes 1 time for maybe 1 second in Red, but doesnt start to charge. Then it seems to hang up so i need to press the reset button and it goes to QDL mode again, thats all i found out now. And sorry for my bad english :D

I hope some Dev could help me.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Vendetto:
Now i found and Linux app called emmc_recovery which i can flash some .sin files some succesfull with no errors and some files abort. so i need an bootloader for my zl c6503 doesnt matter what file type it is. So how can i find one ?
[Sony Xperia ZL] sturmtruppler:
Sorry, I can't help you. But there is a threat called Disaster Recovery. It's created by NUT, the dev who created the dual recovery for our phone. Since that threat covers ZL, Z and other Xperia-phones, many more people will read it. Maybe you can get help there:

[Sony Xperia ZL] enrique71:
Sorry, but your phone is hard bricked. I experienced the exact same issue on my Xperia T. The only fix is through JTAG, or send it back to Sony and hope they replace it.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Vendetto:
Yeah i will sent it to repair center and it was my first and last sony phone. Will go back to HTC.
[Sony Xperia ZL] TAL333:
So you somehow through your own ineptitude or ignorance attempted a flash of Samsung software on a Sony phone and it bricked.....and you blame Sony? Interesting.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Vendetto:
Where i ever blamed sony for my fault ?? And where i am ignorant ? You seem a typical troll.

If the XDA App would lead me to to right forum this would never ever happen. I flashed thousand times and never had a brick with my HTC One X. You can say what you want but the quality of Sony is far behind.
[Sony Xperia ZL] enrique71:
In my case, I flashed a custom Xperia T kernel from a dev who modified S1_BOOT and the bad flash put my phone in the QHSUSB_DLOAD mode. I tried absolutely everything and nothing worked, the phone was completely bricked. Now, if this can happen with a bad flash from Sony, imagine the havoc cross flashing device manufacturer's causes! Samsung software on a Sony platform? It's deader than dead.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] fastguy:
I'm having the same problem, trying to fix with some charger mods (shorting data pins of USB) or fast charge kernel. The kernel hack did not work yet, but shorting the d+ and d+ pins of usb cable on device end works. (although I could achive max 1.5mah)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Razorless:
According to this

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...t-on-the-note-3-but-there-is-a-root-solution/

Samsung denies any intentional blocking and a connection between KitKat and third party accessories.

I tried my third party chargers and they too didn't work. Charging stopped when the screen turned off. However, my Motorola and HTC chargers do work. Maybe the third party tings have inconsisten voltage output or something like that.

I had the new Tab s 10.5 and some of my usb chargers would not work. I found a deal way to good to pass up so I returned the Tab s and THOUGHT I was getting a Note 10.1 2014 wifi. Yet lol I didnt I got a 605 which is AWESOME ..I just always wanted the SnapDragon chip. It was a tad over $400 32gb NEW.

Anyway so I turn it on set it up and it was downloading 4.4 already I wanted to stay with 4.3 after reading around here. Yet so far it works flawless. All my usb chargers work. I can be doing ANYTHING and it keeps charging. Like I said the Tab s I could ONLY use Samsungs.

No, I did that mistake and bought a dual port 4a charger. Samsung somehow detects Apple charger and stops charging when screen turns off. I had to make an adapter for shorting data pins, like this, I can at least charge with 1.5a

while i was on vacation my p605 starts having the same problem. It is just loading while the screen is on. After getting black/off it takes a few more seconds till charging stops. This problem is accompanied by the symptom that the tablet won't be recognized by the pc anymore. It is just loading ('til the screen gets black). i have no idea what to do. i am not sure, if the different voltage on vacation could be a reason. based on the fact that i can't get it back to stock, i guess i can not get it repaired by warranty (or is there any way to get it stock? unfortunately mobile odin is not supported). i would be glad about some good hints and thank you in advance

Exact same problem here - charging stops as soon as the screen lock kicks in, even with the original Samsung charger. Brought the tablet back to the tmobile store and had them connect to another Samsung charger - still happens.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] lecorbusier:
I don't follow my own advice, and never had this problem. But charge with the original cable where the two GND pins are connected. In most cables one of them is open.

My old Garmin Street Pilot with mini usb used the second GND pin to determine whether to remain operational and charge, or go into pc connectivity mode and do nothing else.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] fastguy:
This happens to me only when I'm not using original 5.3v charger and original cable. Check your cable and charger. (although I think it works with 5v Samsung charger of my note 3 as well)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] lecorbusier:
My last charger had 4.9v with no load, and certainly lower with a 2A load. No Problems. But if a charger is badly stabilized, it may drop too much, and the Note is very demanding, with twice the current of a typical phone.

I had a DIY adapter to charge my old Nokia stuff via USB. The Nokia chargers have a 5v spec, but one provided 6v, another 7v. And USB voltage seemed too low, there was sort of sporadic charge, with the connection dropping after a short time. But all connections were fine, must have been a voltage thang.

So i still have to keep a Nokia charger ready, only to charge my Nokia BT headset.

Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition Charging Fail

Has anyone discovered a fix for this:

When I plug in my tablet...Samsung Galaxy Note 2014 Edition...Using any plug (I have tried factory charger, and multiple alternatives including Ipad Charging adapters) when the screen is on the charging occurs, but When the screen closes about 2 seconds later the screen turns back on the way it does when charge is complete, only its still at same battery level as before! I have tried closing all apps and still the same, Used Task Manager to close all apps and clear the RAM and still nothing, Gone into app manager and closed running processes and still the same results! I am operating KitKat (OS since purchase) and the only actual way to charge it is to leave a plug in all day with the screen On, or shut off the Tablet!

Is there a fix for this or what?

Its bad enough that I cant find a good bluetooth keyboard that is compatible with this tablet! Im on the verge of trading it in and going Apple! Someone please help...Keep me from turning to Apple!

Is there a fix for this even if it requires manually adjusting chargers or the tablet itself (the internal components)?

thank you all for your help!

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] fastguy:
Are you using the original cable and original 5.3v charger? I saw this only when I used other cable (lower quality, less thick coppers inside) or other charger.

The solution is to sacrifice one cable (or build an adapter) and short the middle cables at tablet side.
