[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdsingle76:
With the S5, you can flash any Sprint, Boost, VM SM-G900P rom to your phone. NE5 is also the latest Sprint build, and is fine to flash to your phone.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berzerkus:
Does this apply to TAR's as well as the zips? Forgive my ignorance, I'm just trying to save a headache. I'm stuck on the VM GS3 mindset of a build needing to be catered to my device (and/or use APN fix). If that's not the case at all, that's useful to know.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Misterjunky:
re: rocketdial

Speaking of Rocketdial, does the full screen caller ID part in

rocketdial work for you in both outgoing and incoming calls?

Ever since I upgraded my firmware to kitkat 4.4.2 with baseband NF1, NE6 and the original

NB4 my rocketdial is not working as it used to when making and or receiving calls.

It does not bring up the full screen callerid, but instead it brings up the stock callerid.

I must have tried at least 3 or 4 stock and custom 4.4.2 kk NB4/NE6/NF1 roms with same

results.

(yes, I even tried setting the delay to 2 ms and it still brings up the stock callerid screen.)

I have been using rocketdial for over 2 years and in the past couple of months there were

two updates but none of the updates addressed my issues.

Any help would be much appreciated.

[Shield Q&A] Mexican Pygmy:
Hey, I have an Nvidia Shield and I want to uninstall some system apps like the google movies and stuff like that, but Im not sure which system apps are actually safe to remove. I dont want to accidentally remove one and end up bricking my shield because I uninstalled somthing Im not supposed to. Is there a list that I could have? Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:
[Shield Q&A] SkylerZio:
Bump, looking for same info.
[Shield Q&A] Mexican Pygmy:
Ok thanks!
[Shield Q&A] UNCUT88RAW:
You can remove all Google Apps like Google +, Maps, Youtube etc. except Play Store and Play Services.

You should not remove any Background Services like Tegrazone or something else. Otherwise Game Streaming or Tegrazone itself won´t start.

A Tip: Remove Apps which appear in the App Drawer. Do not remove those which i mentioned earlier.

Then, you could try to remove services which stay in connection to Apps you removed earlier. Like E-Mail or Contacts.

It´s somehow a hit and miss when you try to remove Apps. If you backed up everything with CWM, you could try it for yourself.

But if you remove those unnecassary Apps, the Nvidia Shield feels slightly faster when you are in the launcher.

And you get more storage space.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CZroe:
My coworker has an HTC Vivid which will not turn on. I can't even get a blink or a vibration from it, so I can't even get into recovery or factory reset. I suspected that it was simply unable to charge the battery but it is detected when I plug it in to USB (first as QHSUSB_DLOAD while it searches for a driver then ZEUS Flash Device once Windows Update finds and installs one). The fit is tight/snug and the PC detects it, so I assume the USB port is fine and it should be able to charge.

Now, the owner is an old man who doesn't even know what "root" is, so I highly doubt he did anything which could brick it. He knows I often repair phones for other coworkers so he asked me to take a look at it.

Before I tear into a phone I always look online to see if anyone else has had a similar issue. I haven't seen anything about this yet and I haven't encountered it myself either. The phone is in a rubber Otterbox skin and looks to be in great shape. It does not appear to have ever been dropped. Has anyone heard of these just spontaneously failing to power on? Has a fix been found?

I haven't looked inside yet but the phone looks great externally and under the battery door. The battery might be ever so slightly bulging but it's hard to tell just by looking at it. It's the only thing I've detected that might be out of order, so I'd like to try another. Too bad I can't find a spare locally.

Should I be able to get any kind of feedback on USB power without the battery inserted at all? Can someone try booting or entering recovery with the battery removed?

Thanks!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cmerlyn:
Take the battery out and charge it externally. It sounds like the port is not charging, for whatever reason. My phone did that back before I rooted it. Hasn't happened since.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
QHSUSB_DLOAD is scary...

Your only hope is the unbricking project...

You can try an RUU... If you can get the RUU to find the device...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brettdacosta:
My wife has a note 3, and her blacks are so much blacker than mine. What's the reason behind that? The most noticeable is in the settings, but I think that's actually do to the s5's settings menu being like a deep gray versus an actual black.

Her screen just appears so much more vibrant and rich, and it seems to be more than just from the matte screen protector compared to her clear one. Any thoughts?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drakester09:
A lot has to do with the matte protector I bet. I wouldn't use one again, had one on my N4 for a while and it really distorted colors.

The rest could be the screen mode, or the screen quality variance. Dunno, to me the S5's screen is technically superior and subjectively much better compared to the Note 3 I have seen.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Put side by side (yes, I own both.), the colours on the S5 are more saturated, but the Note 3 has a better contrast ratio.. (Meaning the blacks are blacker.) Both are set to Dynamic for this. (I usually keep the S5 at Natural because I can't stand the ghastly shade of green/blue used in Touchwiz.)

In theory it shouldn't make a difference, as it's AMOLED. Black means the LED is off, and off = off. For the most part it's the screen protector (As these things are slightly white), the colour setting and the screen brightness level.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brettdacosta:
How would I change the color settings then? I have a glass screen protector coming in a week or so, so we'll see if it's just the screen. I'll set the brightness settings the same. It just feels like it's more than that. Definitely doesn't feel like it turns the led off when it should be black.

Thanks.

Hello guys,

I'm newbie to this, I've just bought a Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 and I wanna save its battery life, I read and heard much about Greenify app that helps a lot in saving battery whether you have premium phone or a tablet.

I need to know how can I install this app in my tab 4 and how to hibernate all the apps.

Also tell me how to hibernate system apps.

Moreover, I also read that it may brick your phone, I'm afraid about my Tablet, its in warranty and it it get bricked, what I'd do? :(

So, it was obsession to post a thread on xda and ask them first.

I hope I will helped here as nobody has ever deprived here.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 404-Not Found:
1) Root

2) Go to Play Store and install Greenify.

In general Greenify won't void your warranty or damage your device but rooting does. You can choose which apps to greenify.

[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SivasankarC:
This is what i did for my device :::

because of over anxiety :) I killed my device.........

it was stuck at boot screen, not able to switch it off.... tried all possibilities...

option 1

I have to wait till the battery gets drained, i dint have the patience to do this... ( since battery is 100% full )

option 2

I carefully opened the back panel of my device ( only the portion from camera till the middle segment )

down the middle of the pannel is pasted tight to battery,

Saw the battery cable attached to the M.board, with a help of a needle, i removed the attachment and powered down the device...

once again with the help of needle reattached the cable and closed the back pannel safely.....

rebooted the device to cwm recovery.......

Installed the cwm image from this temporarily " http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2780507 "

this helped me to regain the device, and was able to use it good... it has all the apps in it.........

it is English..... ( but originally developed from open source chinese variant.... )

I am waiting for the Stock Rom release................ and after that I will reflash my device.........

step 2 ::::::

I found out a friend from this forum jithu, who has the same model, version and regional device and asked him to give device cwm or twarp backup.....

so i can clone my device from a same regional device backup.... after restore.... i will do a factory reset....

so my mobile will be all new.....................

[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thoctor:
Can't restore stock nandroid

Do a full factory reset in your custom recovery or in advanced wipe options wipe your system, data, dalvik and cache then rerun your stock nandroid backup and it should restore. When your coming from a custom rom back to a stock rom your want to have as much of your phone wiped and repartitioned as possible. Don't wipe your internal storage though unless you just want to.

Oops didn't catch the "accidentally" part but the advice stays the same. Are you trying to get back to stock or are you trying to get back to custom rom?

Not sure how widespread this issue might be, but I've started noticing an issue where the home button my Nexus 10 fails.

The button's functionality returned after a Dalvik Cache wipe, but returned upon next boot. My Nexus 5 is running the PA ROM without any issues. Any advice? Thoughts?

[Sony Xperia ZR] sijav:
first your image is pretty low res that I can't see anything! but as far I saw everything get okey!

then just flash another boot.img. go to fastboot again flash another boot.img.

also be sure that you are flashing a really boot.img!! (which should be in elf format)

if you're willing to flash stock you can flash with flashtool and bring back your phone.

ALSO YOU MUST FLASH YOUR PHONE KERNEL not others this is pretty important.

[Sony Xperia ZR] SirVer:
Getting back to stock

Download and install Flashtool by Androxyde. Remember to get 32 bit/64 bit version depending on your computer.

Download any stock firmware, preferably for your area/country and unmodified. Make sure it is the full firmware! It should be at least ~200 MB, but will probably be much larger if I remember correctly, maybe ~700 MB, though it maybe compressed inside a ZIP. You can get stock FW's on the forums, just look around. It should be in .ftf format.

Copy the .ftf file to "firmwares" folder, which is inside the Flashtool install folder. By default, this is C:\Flashtool.

Start Flashtool and keep it open. For 64 bit, you have to specifically choose the "Flashtool64" program.

Plug your USB cable into your computer, but not your phone.

Hold down the volume down key and plug the USB cable into your phone.

In Flashtool, look at the output window (the white space with all the log info) and one of the last entries should be "Device connected in flashmode" or something like that. If it says fastboot, repeat the process with the other volume key held down.

It may ask you to choose your device first. If so, choose Xperia ZR (obviously).

Click the button with lightning symbol on it. Select Flashmode and click OK.

You should see the file you downloaded in the list. Select it.

Make sure all the boxes in the "Wipe" section are checked, and all the boxes in the "Exclude" section are unchecked. DO NOT CHANGE ANY OTHER OPTIONS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!

Click "Flash". Wait for it to complete and hope that no errors come up. :fingers-crossed:

You should now have an out-of-the-box phone, software-wise. :good:

Hi, i cant do that.. My flashtool give me a error:

16/021/2014 11:21:40 - ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device.

16/021/2014 11:21:40 - ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.

I installed all it drivers, and nothing. It could be the Pc? or Firm? I need help pls.. Thx
[Sony Xperia ZR] SirVer:
Are you running Windows 8? If so, you need to disable the driver protection. Follow the steps mentioned here.

He says something about installing with "have disk." I have no idea what this means, as I used a different method that I don't remember right now. After you boot in test mode as instructed, simply running the installer as you did before should work. Also, there's no need to install all the drivers. I don't know for sure, but it may be bad to have all the drivers installed. Maybe. In any case, you only need to install the "Common ADB drivers for Lagan, Fusion3 board devices based on APQ8064 chipset: Xperia Z, ZL, ZR, ZQ, A, UL, Tablet Z." It should be there in the driver install menu. If that doesn't work, install all of them.

If this doesn't work, or you're not on Windows 8, then download the latest FlashTool driver pack here. Actually, you should do that anyway, before everything else. Best to have the latest drivers when experimenting. The latest version is v1.5, at the time of writing. If yours is v1.5, leave it be.

If that doesn't work, then... Nope, I got nothing. If none of this works, ask an experienced dev for help, or give it to Sony service. They'll probably charge you quite a bit, so be prepared for that.

Hope this helps.

Hello anyone. I'm brand new to HTC. I got a M7 today that has the 4.4.2/Sense 6.0 update. I come from primarily all Samsung devices which are extraordinarily easy to hack. All of this S-Off and different bootloaders and whatnot is foreign to me. I gather that the 4.4.2 update has thrown some sort of a wrench in things root wise. What's the easiest way to get a custom ROM on this thing? I'm fairly proficient with ADB. Appreciate any advice.

I think that acctually we should have white background to save more power. Black colour on TFT screens is created by put max power to pixels. White colour dotn consume more power that is needed to light a fluorescent tube in the display which is turn on anyway. just my 0.02$
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Rapax:
Are you sure about that? Isn't a white pixel getting max. power?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nabuhonodozor:
I am sure. In LCD screens, when turn on (not in some king of power saving mode) fluorescent lamp is always glowing so to get shades and dark colour You ll actually have to "cover" light with LCD pixel. For LCD crystals to block the light they must be applied with maximum power. So if You have whole white screen theres no crystall blocking light and screen consumes energy only to light fluorescent lamp. If You have dark picture lcd display have to draw more energy not only to light fluorescent lamp but also to max out energy to all pixels to block the light.
