[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anota:
Hello, I wanted to know if any of you could help me.

My GT-N8000 suddenly shut down, which wouldn't have been that strange if not for the fact that it did so without the usual "shutting down" message. I plugged it in the charger and was greeted on boot by the message "encryption failed, please perform a factory reset" (actual message : "echec du chiffrage"). I have no root nor cfw (I planned on waiting until the end of the warranty, that is next month). I also didn't update to kitkat so the only reason I can see to this problem would be the tablet having shut down improperly as it was low on battery.

I already tried rebooting several times with and without the sd and sim, to no avail, so it seems I will have to reset. Recovery says /data cannot be mounted, so i was wondering if it affected the internal sd and if there was a way to recover the data on it or is it definitely lost ?

I have attached the recovery below. Thank you for your help.

[edit] although I wasn't counting much on it working, I tried to update to Kitkat trough Odin3 just in case. The only change is that now i've got a prettier error message (and startup sound).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anota:
Seems like my files are gone for good, but i'm giving an update in case someone has the same kind of problem but more luck than me.Most of the important stuff was backed up but it still sucks.

I wanted to do an adb pull, but due to the fact that it prevented my note from being detected when in MTP mode, I had USB debugging disabled (though I don't know if the note remembered my settings at that point). I installed Clockwork Recovery via Odin to enable adb and did my pull...

C:\Users\XXXXXX\Desktop\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20140321\sdk\platform-tools>adb pull /data

pull: building file list...

0 files pulled. 0 files skipped.

so it cannot be pulled (not surprising as it cannot be mounted). But this could be useful for someone who has a minor error preventing them to boot, but who can access recovery and download mode and would like to make a backup before wiping.
[Droid Ultra General] Jay_P11:
As stupid as this may sound, it looks completely possible to take the back of a Droid Maxx and put it on the chassis of the Ultra. When watching a teardown video, they're literally the exact same phone, given the wireless charging, larger battery, and non-glossy beautiful carbon back. Can't the backs just be swapped? And if anyone wanted to go to the extra step, the battery as well?
[Droid Ultra General] tecsironman:
I bet it can be done. You just have to find the battery and back to do it.
[Droid Ultra General] Jay_P11:

Seeing as they don't have a replacement battery, I guess I'll just stuff it with paper
[Droid Ultra General] MattK1:
Did you have any success with the conversion?

Just curious as to your success. I'm considering it myself and would like to know if this worked.
[Droid Ultra General] joel_sinbad:
Actually you need the Maxx battery that costs like 35 bucks on ebay, a sort kind of plastic frame over the camera and stuff, then, the antenna that is located on the low side of the phone and last, the back cover, obviously is more thick to fit the Maxx battery, you can still use the nfc transmitter or you can buy the nfc/wireless charging coil combo, it uses the same connector.
[Droid Ultra General] MattK1:
Plastic frame and antenna

Thanks.

When you say the "plastic frame over the camera and stuff," do you mean the Replacement Part for Motorola Droid Ultra XT1080 Camera Lens and Bezel SKU: ESMOT131219106126? I'd post a link, but XDA won't allow that for some reason.

And the antenna? Why would that need replacing?
[Droid Ultra General] joel_sinbad:
The camera lens and bezel is more smaller on the Maxx, I think because to be fitted on the battery, and the antenna, that is on the bottom on the phone, is much thicker, I think to fit the thickness of the back cover...

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] BigDnm01:
Is there a way to merge the Device Memory (1.97 GB) and the Internal Storage (10.85 GB)?

I hate it that I can't install alot of app due to it being in Device Memory. I barely use the internal storage as my media files are in my (Ext) Micro SD card. the DM fills up easily, and could not install or update app when it's around 130MB, which should be plenty. I had to manually move some app to Internal Storage, and not all apps can be moved.

FYI, I have an Xperia SP, Xperia Z and Xperia Z1s and Xperia L and Xperia M. All of which have Device Memory and Internal Storage merged. Z1s (26.11GB), Z (13.8 GB), etc. it's awesome, would never fill up, except for the L and M, and possibly SP.

Can the same be done for the Xperia T and TX? custom ROM? Root? CyanogenMod? btw, I never done any of this except flashing ROM. so if it's possible please post links for instructions.

This is the only exception that I see through logcat every time I run it and stop it after it freezes. I have tried fix permissions, dalvik wipe, and I don't want to wipe my phone. I don't have a recent nandroid, but in case I have to, are there any ideas on how I can backup my applications and the data without titanium backup? Should I just zip up the contents of /data and etc? I see that is apparently part of the android runtime. Any chance that this is malware?

I seem to use battery charge due to 'cell standby' even if mobile data is off. Checking 'restrict background data' under 'data usage' does reduce the drain - but not completely. The drain is about the same as 'Android system' when the device is left on but unused. What is draining the battery - and is it something I can disable or freeze?

I updated my rooted note 3 to Kitkat, via this guide

It was up and running, but having issues through out the day today. I read through the guide this evening and saw that it recommended wiping the delvic, I had not done that in the previous install so I went ahead, uninstalled the KK, wiped the delvic and re-installed. Now it wont boot at all. It just sits at the Samsung splash screen. It will not boot into stock or normal recovery. Knox is already tripped so im not worried about that. Can anyone help me fix this? All my data is backed up. I have tried reflashing via Odin with both KK and MJ roms. It will accept a MJ rom with appropriate PIT file, but will go to Samsung screen and show "starting recovery", then bootloop to the same. KK will not accept any flash, it will take the PIT file tough.

Hey guys, semi-noob here. Here is the situation:

1) encrypted device yesterday (Nexus 5 w/ stock android 4.4.2 and CWM Recovery)

2) 4.4.3 came out, downloaded and installed (yee! new dialer)

3) restarted after install (so excited! :fingers-crossed:)

4) enter the bootloop

5) try to do fastboot -> recovery mode

6) nope. recovery mode = bootloop

What do, XDA? I searched the forums, and nothing seems to address this. The N5 isn't even showing up on the devices list for my comp (W7 w/ ADB installed and ran before). I can't talk to it through my computer.

Hi.

Boot into bootloader

open cmd

Type fastboot devices

See if your device gets detected or not.

If yes..you can flash stock factory IMG.

If not make sure u have installed the drivers and adb set up is there.

Thanks for the quick response.

Verified that ADB works and is capable of recognizing an android device

Booted into fastboot and attached to 2 different computers (with no response or indication of the device on both)

Verified that ADB and all SDK software was up to date

Restarted computer to verify USB controller status

Refreshed device manager list before and after plugging in N5.

I'm at a loss. ADB was used in the past, the drivers are up to date. It's as though the N5 isn't even sending a signal to my computer that it's alive. I'm losing hope here guys. Please, someone help. :confused:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrman:
One thing you haven't stated. Do you have the fastboot drivers installed? They're different from adb. Since you're not seeing the device after "fastboot devices", I would check and make sure.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haloux:
Yea, USB debugging was on. The recovery mode just yields the dead android.

How would I verify that? I assumed that fastboot drivers were installed bc I used them in the past.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrman:
I would do a search here for "windows fastboot drivers". I can't be of much help to you as I haven't used windows for several years now. Also, if you have a working Android device, see if it shows up when connected in bootloader mode as a test.

Used a diff cable like someone suggested and my device appeared. Updated device driver and fastboot driver. ADB devices still yields no device attached though.

Is one of them better than the other?

I'm thinking about buying the pro version now, instead of waiting for the S version which comes out in about a month and it might be more expensive. Any suggestions?

The S is suppose to have the Super AMOLED screen instead of SuperLCD.

2.1 front cam instead of 2.0

3GB Ram instead of 2GB

Finger print sensor

But a different processor 1.9 instead of 2.3 if they are comparable that way.

Also a little slimmer and weighs less.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] the_eclectic1:
I think a lot depends on are you a fan of Amoled or TFT screens. Probably Tab S line will be the premium line and probably more expensive. Traditionally Amoled screens are more expensive than TFT screens.

Of course another important consideration is the price differential. It maybe more value for money to get the TabPro over the Tab S.

I can't imagine Samsung screwing the early adopters of the TabPro by pricing the Tab S similar to TabPro at launch.

SoC wise the TabPro runs SnapDragon 800 2.3 GHz vs Exynos 1.9 GHz[Samsung stated cheaper to use in-house silicon] of the Tab S. SD800 had better gpu but essentially both are pretty similar power and battery performance wise
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Alexpride:
So which tab would be better for reading textbooks? Which screen the SUPERLCD or the AMOLED?

If Samsung instead would have come up with a new 8.4 or 8.0 Note (S-Pen) tab it would have made more sense for a new release within a short period.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] the_eclectic1:
I don't like reading on white backgrounds. I try to use a black background if possible.

Having said that, SuperLCD and Amoled operate differently. LCDs have the entire backlight switched on even if the background is black. Therefore consumes more battery. Amoleds only turn on the pixel when it's not black. Therefore saving battery. But of cos if your browsing on a white background it's not going to save you battery.

As to which is better for reading textbooks, I find both technologies are just as good. Although Amoled has a wider colour gamut than LCD. So colours tend to look punchier.

I think your buying decision will likely be influenced more by the price than the tech. If the pricing differential is small than go for the Amoled. Thinner, lighter, better colours, potentially more power - saving display, more RAM.

I don't understand their marketing strategy. Launching so many TabPro/NotePro tablets not to mention their Tab4 line, and now TabS line. Maybe they just want to saturate the market.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] locutusx:
To be honest the LCD screen in Tab Pro 8.4 is already very good.

Remember all the reviews said, when TabPro8.4 came out: "best screen we've ever seen on a 7 to 8 inch tablet" !

Also, the quality of the screen pretty much demolished the LG G Pad 8.3's screen. I know, i was about to buy a G Pad but fortunately i waited and went for TabPRO instead. Difference between LG G Pad and TabPRO was quite big. I don't know if the diff between TabPRO and TabS will be anywhere near that big!

So it's certainly quite possible the Tab S will have a better screen... but since the TabPRO already has an "amazing" screen, it depends if you really need "better than amazing". and are willing to pay full msrp for it.

i think of it this way... if u have an M3 and it's working great, will you upgrade 3 months later and get an M5? :laugh:
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] the_eclectic1:
I agree with what you said. This LCD screen is already very good. I have a NotePro 12.2 and the screen is really good. Even better when squeezed into 8.4.

For me really depends on the price point of the TabS. I do prefer SD800 over Exynos but if the price is close I would probably get the TabS.

Ultimately you need to decide what parameters are more important to you and base your decision on that. I can only tell you my decision process but you make the final decision for yourself.

Sorry to hear that. Bad move Samsung. Do you think you will win brand loyalty by screwing your most passionate customers esp the early adopters? I can understand their strategy of trying to win more sales by tempting new customers with better tech and low prices. While you might tempt the early adopters to switch to their newer tablets. But releasing a newer better tablet in less than 6 months? It can backfire. You are going to piss off the early adopters who supported you.

Reminds me of the Moto Razr and Razr Max days.
