[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Xyberz:
Just wanted to ask the public's opinion on how to start? Things in this field changes so quick that if you're not on it at least every week, you're easily left in the dust.

My phone's backlight went defective and only shows a picture that has lines thru it from top to bottom when the brightness is turned all the way up. Anything lower and the backlight doesn't even work and there's no picture. Well I just got my replacement phone in the mail and I need to start over. The last phone only had a root done and no custom rom.

What would be the easiest way to root and to install a rom? I clearly am not the type of person who would change out a ROM everytime something new comes out and would only do so if it was truly needed or I really hated what was installed. I believe I'm going to go with Wicked v10 since it has some really good reviews.

Also do I need to change out the bootrom or anything else to improve on my use on T-Mobile?

Thanks for any suggestions!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kriptik210:
First you need to find out what firmware came on your new phone (Bootloader and Baseband) so you know which method you can use to root. As for a ROM it's best that you search for one that suits your needs (XDA forbids posting about which ROM is better. It turns into arguments). And to boost you signal you can flash the NB4 modem (that's if your phone didn't already come with it stock).

ever since i switched to an asop rom my lte and 3g signal has dropped dramatically. I have rogers, played with mulitple apn settings etc. any help boys ? is there fix i can flash?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bibz0r:
Hi,

The first thing would be to check your CSC and modem firmware. Use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app to get all major info about the phone. It is important to know when you are going to flash another stock firmware.

I had issues last week with data and it was caused by bad CSC/modem. Flashed everything back to stock with official firmwares from SamMobile and it fixed my issues. After that, I was able to flash my custom ROM and everything is smooth sailing since then.

Let me know if you require more help.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naruto101:
Thanks for help bro. I took a screen shot of my info. I'm not sure why it shows bmc when I downloaded the rwc files. And is the product code correct?, also I never seen the code for csc modem before. Is it not suppose to match baseband, pda, bootloader
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bibz0r:
Everything is good, you're almost there.

You have the right firmware but now you need to fix your CSC. The stock ROM is multi CSC so Rogers (RWC) is already installed but it chooses Bell (BMC) by default. What you can try :

- Power off your phone

- Remove SIM card and power on (your phone will start and say : no sim card)

- Power off and wait a moment

- Insert your Rogers SIM card and power on your phone in Recovery Mode (Volume Up, Home and Power on boot). If you have:

#manual mode#

--appling multi-csc...

applied the csc code : RWC

successfully applied multi-csc

That means that your CSC has been changed to Rogers. Problem should be fixed.

If not, the app you downloaded contains a CSC Changer but it will wipe your data. Make sure to have backups beforehand.

Let me know if you need anything else.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naruto101:
Thanks for all the help man, did the sim thing and it just loaded me into twrp and i didnt see an option so I changed it via the app. Same thing still got the 4G and bell bloat. But csc now says bmc/rwc
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bibz0r:
Ok. Try this now :

You must dial the following key sequence to bring up a regional carrier menu: *#272*[IMEI]# (that is *#272* (your IMEI number) #) - You'll find your IMEI in the Phone Info app.

When the menu comes up, select the regional code for Rogers RWC. The phone will now go through a reset/boot sequence and come this time, it should read the APN settings from your SIM card and viola, you now have LTE. If you do not see LTE but 3G, you will need to ensure your APN settings are correct and then go into the Network Mode and ensure you have LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto mode) selected.

Let me know how it goes.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naruto101:
I actually did the last sstep you mentioned below this morning (found the steps online ) and it still didn't work lol, so technically when i did it in the app it was my second time restarting the phone.Not sure what's going wrong here. Seems like bmc still lingers around. Haha don't give up on me
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bibz0r:
Don't worry, I'm not giving up on you :p

When you flashed back to stock ROM, did you do a full wipe before?

It is really important that you do a full wipe so that it doesn't leave any traces of your old installs.

Try to flash via Odin (while your phone is on Download Mode). Check the AP and the CSC box and input the stock file from SamMobile.

Let me know if it fixes it.

[Samsung Gear Live] das7771:
From what I understand the roms are being built by google and not samsung. So I am almost certain there will be a ton of watch faces and styler apps that will be created for all android wear devices. As much as I like my Samsung gear watch there are very limited faces and the styler app for it drains the battery super fast. I hope this wont be the case for android wear.
[Samsung Gear Live] TjPhysicist:
watchface API is now rolled out iirc, there's even a couple watchface apps in the market (or so it claims, haven't tested it out). Just found this one too: BCD Clock for Android Wear. I would suggest this google+ group for details, is where I found the above app.
[Samsung Gear Live] StevenMattera:
To my knowledge there isn't a public watchface API out yet. You can create really basic watchfaces, however unless you use a system certificate or the keystore used to sign the launcher you are unable to access the clockwork service. In turn this means you can't change the top card peak, or the status bar gravity. I played around with this quite a bit today extracting and decompiling the Samsung watch faces and ended up at the same place as Marcus Stahre with my watchface constantly force closing. (https://github.com/togi/android-wear-watchface)
[Samsung Gear Live] cyberniko:
I plan to make it :)

For now, I have this app (released today) with 20 faces. You control it from your phone.

But soon, I will make something that allows you to choose step by steps the backgroud, font,...

EDIT: it's on the play store hahaha.

You should be able to download it on cm11. I am on stock still so I can't test.
[Verizon LG G2] acejavelin:
Doesn't work... it requires some underlying Verizon framework. Use Verizon Usage Widgets from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hoeksoft.minute.widget.verizon

It's $2 but it it's worth it, used to use it all the time on several different ROMs, even when I was Air and my son was Verizon so I could monitor his data usage.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swiftyy:
Hey Guys,

I've been having problems with my nexus 4 randomly shutting down itself. The problem is sometimes when my phone goes to sleep mode it doesn't wake up again when I push the power button. There is no shut down animation or anything, it just randomly turns off. I have to long press the power button to reboot the phone. I'm currently on PA Final 4.41 along with hellsdoctor R20 kernel, this happens on both Dalvik and ART. My brother who is on a completely stock nexus 4 which was updated to 4.4.4 via OTA has the same problem as well.

I'm thinking it might be a bug in android 4.4.4 but not sure. Anyone have a fix for this problem? Thanks so much.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuffynet:
Turn off auto update apps in playstore. Happend to me before to. Something happends when on wifi and phone in deepsleep the playstore auto updates the apps and it doesn't respond and I have to keep pressing the power button to power it on.

I have no more shutdowns since 4.4.3. But I use stock rooted.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swiftyy:
I will try to turn off my auto update but I don't think it's the problem. My brother's phone which is completely stock, not rooted and has auto update off still experience the same problem as well.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBegetter:
My mother's full stock nexus 4 with android 4.4.4 experience no such problems
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v3ng3anc32002:
Same here

I got this crash today too. It just got stuck. Forced reset and it's ok. But again, this happens since 4.4.4

And i get some crazy lags on Google+ sometimes ... and this is a first. Don't know if it is the app, rom or Kernel.

I am on Paranoid Android 4.4.1, with Franco's kernel and running ART.

Also i am running ART for a long time now and never had any problems.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swiftyy:
So I tried turning off Google Play updates and the problem persists. It usually happens around after the phone has been on for 30+ hours. Gonna try to switch back to Dalvik and see if the problems persist. Never had this happen before only after updating to 4.4.3+ ROMs have this started happening. Very stumped as to how to fix it :confused:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jagdish84:
Right, so I think I cracked this one...

I handed in my headset in order for customer service to fix it and of course they flashed it with Googles 4.4 image(had to upgrade to 4.4.4 once I turned it on)...

After rooting it and flashing a bunch of custom roms I suffered from the same problem, it drove me nuts but I remembered it didn't happen when I upgraded from 4.4.2 so I downloaded a 4.4.2 image and flashed it(used wugs toolkit-the manual option) flashed TWRP recovery and a custom rom and I'm random shutdown free for the last few hours, hope that helps...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sideswipe14:
same problem here 100% stock android 4.4.4 (using nova but can't imagine that matters) last night was the first time i picked up the phone and pressed the power button... nothing. long pressed the power button for 8-10 seconds and it booted up. now again about 15 hours later i pick up the phone press the power button and nothing. never happened before and i assume its something to do with the 4.4.4 update. i dont use auto updating in the play store and this has literally never happened before yesterday.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jagdish84:
Im still random shutdown free, im not sure the solution i suggested on my earlier post will work for you but you can always try it and see...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danmen2:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swiftyy:
I just reflashed PA 4.41 and running the kernel that came with PA. I believe it's the stock android one. Let's see how it goes.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swiftyy:
When did you update to 4.4.4? I never experienced this on 4.4.2 either. Only started happening after I updated to 4.4.4. I think for me it happened the first night after updating.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCody:
The only thing I can tell you is, that 4.4.4 causes a lot of problems recently. You are by far not the only one with this problem. I've also experienced random shutdowns like yours, bootloops, devices not turning on again...

Especially stock 4.4.4 causes problems. I could not identify the problem or bugfixes by now. It is really complicated since some devices work fine with 4.4.4 and some dont.

I only can suggest you to flash a 4.4.3 rom. That is the only work around.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabelcz:
same problem here...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidsnyder:
Same here.

I have had the same problem since i updated to 4.4.4... except mine shuts off only when i touch the screen (like pull the menu down, open a app, ect.) so, I went and did a factory reset, nothing changed. downloaded the Nexus Root Toolkit, did a flash stock to 4.4.4 again, nothing.. Then now I have tried another flash stock to 4.4.3 but now have manually updated to 4.4.4. I will reply again to see if this changes anything.

My Nexus 4 is completely stock, not rooted, never tampered. So I am very surprised with this issue, but I have had another issue.. Along with the shutting off issue I have a problem which so far was fixed with the first Flash stock(i think) I would use my Nexus 4 with signal for texting and using data but when i went to actually use data like to search something up it would randomly say i have "no service".. not sure why it did this, happened when I had 4 bars and didn't move..:confused:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackular:
Hello everyone,

I have Samsung Galaxy Note 3, Omega Rom android 4.4.2

I installed an anti theft app called 'Android Lost'.

I installed it on my phone and went on to their site to try out some of the commands after it had registered with my google account and whatever else it does. I sent a command to my phone to lock it with a pin. My phone received the command but it didn't do what it was supposed to do. It removed the pattern lock that was on my phone and left it open to unlock without any sort of password or pin. I tried the command again and it did not work.

I gave up as I was in a rush to leave and left the house. I then tried to set a pin on my phone again and the option wasn't grayed out or anything but when I selected it and set the pin, my phone would freeze and then after a minute it would unfreeze but "swipe" would be selected. I was able to set a pattern but nothing higher security than that. Also, even when pattern was selected and I tried to set a pin, it would set it back to "swipe". I also noticed that now I am always getting a message that says "my sd card can now be removed safely" even when I didn't select for it to be removed.

I uninstalled the app and it unregistered me from the servers and all of that, but everything is still the same. Still getting the sd card message, and still can't set a pin.

I have tried the method of incorrectly entering my pattern and using google to change to a pin, that didn't work, just set it to swipe and the sd card message was still appearing.

I also tried clearing all credentials like someone mentioned, but the option is grayed out so I can't select it, and my sd card isn't encrypted and either is my internal storage.

I even went as far as manually going to each credential and disabling it, this did not fix anything either.

Today after not having any replies on the Android Lost website, I decided to factory restore my phone after backing everything up.

This, to my surprise, still did not fix the problem. Now I have a wiped phone and still can't set a pin, and am still being told my SD card can be safely removed.

I tried factory restoring several times, still no fix. I have also tried reflashing my rom, still have same issue.

I am so lost at what to do, maybe there is a cache I can clear or something on top of restoring the phone to clear the credentials as they all seem to be the same still after restore, or maybe it has something to do with my google account, or a server still sending commands to my phone or has set a lock on it. I'm not sure.

Thanks for reading, sorry if it was a bit long, I rarely post to forums as I can usually solve problems by myself by searching.

All help appreciated!

EDIT: I have been taking notes when flashing and factory resetting. The security credentials are staying the same even after each wipe and reflash. Is there any way to clear these manually as the button is still greyed out to clear them? I'm wondering if this has anything to do with not being able to set a pin and ejecting my sd card.

Made a thread for TWRP for KitKat, also put in a request to have the modified no red text zara_cl hboot thread moved into the section. I will also be uploading a modified zara_ul hboot I have from the TELUS OTA.

I'm not sure if the bootloader is different between versions of ZARA_UL phones (or even between ZARA_UL and ZARA_CL) but if anyone wants to play it safe and still has their KK OTA, upload and link me the firmware.zip file from inside it and I'll make one that should be guaranteed to work for your device since it came from it.

EDIT: After doing the red text removal on the TELUS hboot, I am certain now that they are different. ;)
