[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tillmorn:
I wouldn't say that the G3 screen is any more fragile than other phones. I had the same thing happen with my first S4. Had it less than a week, then it fell out of my back pocket from a foot off the ground and the screen completely shattered. I'm starting to think that manufacturers have simply moved away from trying to provide good drop resistance. The last few iterations of the iPhone, the Galaxy line since the S3, the Nexus 4, etc. None of them can hold up to a drop from any height well, if the device lands on the screen or side. Whereas my old HTC Eris and Droid Bionic stood up to drops and impacts like champs.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxie500fb:
I seem to think that manufacturers are giving in to the wants of consumers who desire thinner and lighter phones. Thinner components I would assume makes them less durable. To get the phone to be lighter than previously phones probably has thinner screen? Just my guess.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepoluan:
Hello folks!

Can someone tell me how to format the Internal SD of this phone?

And, while we're at it, is it possible to format it as ext2 or f2fs?

TIA!
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepoluan:
Ookay. I did a lot of research, and to answer my own question:

The Internal SD can NOT be formatted, because it's not a separate device, but merely a directory under /data. /data/media, to be precise. But it can be ERASED/wiped.

Wiping /data now no longer format the /data partition; rather, it simply deletes everything under /data

except

/data/media.

CWM (or other recovery) should have a separate command to erase/wipe the /data/media directory.

And to find out what filesystems are supported, one should do cat /proc/filesystems

Thanks for reading! I hope this information can be useful to you, too.

Hi all,

I'm trying to save a relative's HTC One S which got its internal storage wiped.

Currently I can access Hboot, fastboot, and recovery (that's it) but I get the error in the attachment when I'm in fastboot USB

I'm unable to mount the internal storage or flash a new recovery too.

In fastboot usb do you have fastboot command recognize the device? If you issue "fastboot devices" what you get?

remove old htc drivers and htc sync too, download and install these latest drivers ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2217396 ) , then try connect fastboot again . If nothing happens tell us.

[HTC One S] beerfly:
what exactly you did when the computer detected your phone, what steps and stuff you used. :)
[HTC One S] 065271538:
Typed "fastboot devices" to see if the phone was connected

Typed "fastboot oem lock" to relock bootloader

Used WinDroid Universal HTC Toolkit to flash TWRP 2.7.0.0

And that's where I am now. Thanks! :)
[HTC One S] beerfly:
Bootloader need to be UNlocked when installing recovery, now you need to go back to stock, unlock re locked bootloader and then put recovery. Thats why the security messege appears.
[HTC One S] 065271538:
Okay thanks for that! I got TWRP 2.6.1.0 installed (anything higher would cause a reboot loop) and have Internal SDcard mounted in recovery mode. Where do I go from here? I'm just looking to go back to a stock device (no more hassles)

Thanks again!

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chalk_serpent:
Looks like I have to return my Z2 tablet. Everything was fine for two weeks but now not only has the vibrate function stopped working, but I am getting randomly redirected to the Google Play store every few minutes to a page for some game or dating site. I realised that I may have downloaded an app that caused this, so I did a factory reset but it still happens.

Anyone know why the problem would still be there after a hard reset? Is it possible that whatever bit of adware is redirecting me has put something on the tablet that can't be got rid of? Or has it corrupted my Google account so I will take the problem wherever I go now?

I am not rooted (nor do I wish to be).

Really fed up because apart from these two issues, I really loved the tablet :(
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degraaff:
Try clean installing the firmware with Sony Update Service or PC Companion
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chalk_serpent:
Thanks for taking the time to reply, it is appreciated.. Are there any step by step guides anywhere as to how to do this? (Sorry, I'm not very technical).

When I got the tablet, I was immediately asked to update to .402 which I did. I noticed that when I did the factory reset, the firmware stayed at .402. I presume you are saying that I need a clean version of this, which makes sense, it's just that I don't really know where to start.

Is your problem resolved?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chalk_serpent:
In the end, I decided to get a replacement tablet sent and return the old one as the vibrate function is broken on the original and I don't think that's acceptable on a two week old device.

However, your helpful advice on reinstalling firmware is something I will use if I get the same issue with the replacement.

Kind regards
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lofty5:
I am trying to flash the latest Vodafone uk 4.4.2 fw to my 9195 device. However every time I always get hidden.img.ext4 invalid ext 4 partition in odin and on the phone. I have previously searched and other users have experienced this I however have not found a fix except for repackaging the md5 with the hidden file removed. This works but I would like to be able to flash the complete rom. I thought if I got it successfully installed maybe I could get kies to reinstall the botched together firmware there is however no option in kies to do this.

I have tried it on another computer to rule that out, didn’t work I have also tried multiple versions of odin all yield the same result. I’ve tried everything I can think of. Can anyone help, cheers.

What is contained in the hidden.img.ext4 file is it important?

After two days without my phone trying to sort the same problem. In desperation I wiped the user data etc again with CWM recovery but then went on and reformated the partitions with CWM. I then reinstalled the rom (Belgian NE6 KK) and to my surprise no errors and an uneventful boot up with the new rom. Phew!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lofty5:
God, tell me about it. I was pissing around with this for hours, first was without knox constant crashing and rebooting. So i have flashed the full knox rom with the hidden.img removed and its been working great thus far. Due to now I can no longer do any cwm stuff without triggering knox but its good to know should anyone else have this issue as its quite common by the looks of it

Aye essentially yields the same result as deleting the hidden partition.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klaas68:
Because of the very laggy behaviour of my I9070 after the official upgrade to JB, I decided to go for KitKat after reading good reviews about it.

All this is pretty new for me, but I succesfully rooted the phone, installed the ClockWorkMod recovery tool and flashed to Android 4.4.4.

The build number according to the settings menu is: carbon-janice-userdebug 4.4.4 KTU84P 3a697bce2f test-keys

Overall the performance is excellent and the nasty lags in the youtube app are completely gone so I can finally watch movies again :) Also I am pleased about the look and feel of KitKat.

The problem is that when receiving an incoming call, it appears that the caller does not hear my voice during the first 5 seconds or so. Mostly this is the time that I say "hello <my name> speaking" but this is not heared by the caller. Now I am forced to wait those few seconds before saying my name. I tested it with my other home phone line and this unwanted behaviour does seem to be persistent.

It is pretty annoying and really a flaw to this otherwise great update. Any ideas how to fix this?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
That is happening on every 4.4 I think. It was on CM10.1, CM10.2 too.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazzykuldeep:
Lag on calling screen

It happsens in all roms even in CM too

but now after 4.4.3 in carbon rom it has almost stopped....

Reflash your rom and try it

I use the same

hit the THANKS button if it helped you
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klaas68:
I use Carbon rom 4.4.4, to be exactly the ROM-file CarbonKK_janice-4.4.4-20140627.zip

AFAIK this is still the most recent version. Maybe the problem was even worse with the previous builds.

But I did not have this problem with the, otherwise pretty laggy official JB upgrade from Samsung.... lets hope for a new update from Carbon that gets rid of the issue.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazzykuldeep:
Hmm

Have not downloaded this version bcos the mega downloader gets stuck all the time

if the problem exists then why dont you try the AOSP rom

Off course it does not provide with all the features but its quite stable and we definately have gravitybox or many other apps for the additional features
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klaas68:
I will definately consider this, I have not a very clear view on the differences between the different ROMS and tend to get lost in the flood of information on this site and others... I am not interested in lots of features but just want a fast, lag-free phone with the normal features: email, gmail, whatsapp, youtube, Google maps etc. If AOSP is more stable than Carbon, I will surely try it.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klaas68:
I installed the AOSP rom and it seems stable and maybe the call delay issue is better, still have to test it more.

I do however miss some nice functions which were present of the Carbon ROM:

- separate lockscreen background

- disabling the annoying Google Now bar on the homepages

- some fine tuning in icon colors

- kliing an app by long-press the back button

- defining hotkeys e.g. for the camera

and some more..

Is there maybe some package to install to add functions like this to the AOSP ?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Razvan:
Use Xposed module for all what you need. Gravity Box or others module..
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klaas68:
Unfortunately the AOSP-4.4.4 ROM (build 20140620) is on second thoughts not working for me.

Though the install of the ROM and GApps went fine, I discovered that I had no internet when leaving my home with Wifi, and it appears that I had no connection with my provider and the icon always showed the R of "roaming".

Even after a new fresh install without the GApps the problem persists. The setting "Mobile data" appeared to be torned off, and ehen setting it to on, the triangle with exclamation mark and the (translated) message "The data connection has been broken because you left your home network while data roaming was turned off" (hope my translation makes sense).

So accessing my 3G network appears to be impossible and tham makes the build unusable for me. I installed the Carbon Janice 4.4.4 again and everything worked fine.

With the pa_gapps-mini.4.4.4 the system is up and running again and the incoming call delay is still somewhat of an issue but no show stopper. So for now I go that way...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
Check if you have set up APN, on some ROMs it is not possible to be set automatically by provider. So you need to fill it manually. And you must do factory reset on ROM change to avoid those kind of problems too.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klaas68:
Do you mean a factoery reset just after installing the ROM and Gapps? I think indeed I have not done that.

For now it is working fine with Carbon but I will definately remember your tips for a next flash :)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
Yes, factory reset before or after (just need to to it when you change ROM) install of a new ROM. Unless you just doing update to new version of the same ROM. Then you do wipe cache and dalvik cache.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klaas68:
OK I did those 3 steps before flashing the new ROM. Sometimes I even had to do it twoce because the ROM did not install and raised a error 7 or so...

I think it was more a problem with the APN configuration and never before needed to do this manually...

Updating from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4

Hello friends,

I am new on XDA forums.

I am currently using Carbon rom 4.4.2.

If i want to update it to 4.4.4 then will i lose my all Apps, games etc currently on my phone or not.

Thanks in Advance
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rog_star:
If you dirty flash (just wipe cache/dalvik and install) the new version, you want loose your apps etc.

But I would recommend to do a clean flash (factory reset and format system), but before backup your apps with Titanium. After installing the new version you can restore your apps and data.

But anyway, before wiping/installing anything do a nandroid backup. So if anything went wrong, you can go back in just a minute.
