Hello from down-under :),

I've come to put forward a problem myself and a few others are having over at the Mtekk forums. I currently just purchased an I-Mate JasJam on Telstras' new NextG network and have been using it for about a week and a half. As this fantastic piece of equipment is a little on the expensive side, I wanted to make sure it was kept safe all the time, so I began to use (no matter how silly it made me look :)) the I-Mate supplied Pouch, little did I know it did more damage then not using it...

After investigating over the last few days, It was concluded that the magnetic found in the supplied Pouch had some diverse effect on the switching on Landscape to Portrait mode when removing the JasJam from the Pouch to answer/make a call, play a game or send a text message; often resulting in a 'bugged' or 'glitched' screen, stuck between either Landscape or Portrait etc (I fixed by removing the JasJam and sliding out the Keyboard and back in).

After I few days I thought that this couldn't be right for a brand new machine and took my problem to the Internet in which I found others with the same problem. Since then I have stopped using the supplied Pouch and am now looking at purchasing the Krussel Orbit Pouch as a magnetic-less replacement (any users with one, I'd love your feedback). I am making this thread to see if any users of the XDA-Developers board have faced this issue and ask one further question:

1. Since I stopped using the Pouch I can only find one annoying trait left, whenever I switch the Screen back on from 'Standby' mode I seem to receive a small 'glitch' in the Today Screen if the device has been locked, if the device has been left unlocked the Screen can be switched on/off with no issue - does anyone else have this problem, I'm concerned that the magnetic pouch has caused some internal damage...

Thanks,

Elite_Gamer04

Hi, there is a bit more about this problem in the accessories thread, I noticed the magnet causing issues and wondered about internal damage as you did, even possibly causing the align issues, but a few people reported back they had been using the case from day 1 and while it affected the landscape/portrait, they had no align issues or any other problems, so I don't suspect that there is any internal damage occurring..I do wonder about your screen glitch but without actually seein it..I haven't a clue, also do you have a lot of today plugins?..could possibly be one of them is buggy..I'm not sure, but the case does certainly suck, I was immediately concerned with the magnet strength, off topic..but on my device if my thumb is a bit damp or any metal touches the aluminum bezel around the ear piece of the phone..the screen will flicker.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] elite_gamer04:
Thanks for your reply Chaotic, My device is in the same state as when it come out of the box, so this isn't a 3rd party issue. I have tried removing/adding the default Today Screen icons to see if it makes an issue to the 'glitching' of my screen when it on/off and it makes no difference, only thing I can see that makes it not happen *sometimes* is when the device is

not

locked.

Well thats one user without my issue, hoping someone will report it, or I'm going to get a replacement.

*If your testing to see if you have the same issue as me, simply hold your device in your hand (try both with it Locked and Unlocked) and push the top right-hand side button which should switch your screen off, press it again for it to come on. If you see a sort of 'glitch' of white on your Today Screen and then it fixes itself (I'm talkin 1-2 seconds) you have the same as me.*
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] g00nerz:
Hi chaps,

I've used the magnetic pouch from day one with my UK T-Mobile Vario II and am still yet to see the landscape/portrait switching issue when removing the Vario II to answer a call.

I had a theory about this, and it's probably going to get shot down in flames for it's obviousness, but I'll mention it anyway... Could the problem be down to the machine being powered down (manually or automatically) while in Landscape mode... then when switching on automatically when a phone call is received, the phone tries to switch back to portrait mode but gets stuck?

I have road tested this theory on my own Vario II and have not seen the problem at all, but my ROM may handle things differently to yours? Apologies again if this suggestion is obvious.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] g00nerz:
I assume you are referring to the lock/unlock option found on the Today screen? I also see a short white screen delay when using this Today screen option.

I also see an even longer delay when using the password/pin lock option. Probably something to do with the locking program checking to see if the preset time delay for locking and requesting the password/pin has passed.

Disabling both options makes starting up a lot faster, although you may of course need these options enabled. I'm sure it's something that will be resolved by the manufacturer in time.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ChaoticDruid:
elite_gamer04, I hadn't ever used the lock on my device, so I enabled it just to test, and there wasn't any differences, I also wasn't sure of what the actual glitch was, but since you mentioned it I did some further investigating, I do notice a white screen when coming back from standby, but it lasts no longer than half a second..definitely not 2 seconds.

g00nerz, its all good, all info around here is appreciated, but there is definitely an issue with the case magnet, I don't have a single landscape/portrait issue unless I put it in the bundle case..I use a modded aluminum case at the moment..but if I switch back it happens, I'm pretty sure the words "bundle case" are in the title of the post with others with this issue if you want to check it out.

I have read where some people were discussing that they thought some had different screens..that could be why you haven't had this issue or maybe it is ROM related, but from what I understand its been a variety of brands with this issue...now that I think about it..I wonder if all the brands bundle cases are the same?

I think its Mike(I hope I got that right) that has tore one of these apart..few posts about it with pics on the forum he might know, but anyhow I wonder if theres actually a hardware switch that triggers the switch from portrait/landscape when the slide out kb is opened, and the magnet is affecting that..could also be it was revised on some models.

I'm just speculating/guessin on what might be causing it, I really haven't any solid info other than some people definitely have an issue with the case, including me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] elite_gamer04:
I <3 you hehe. Thank god its not just me :). Yes I was referring to the 'Device Lock' and 'Device Unlock' function on the Today Screen. When it is Unlocked and I switch on/off the screen I see no 'lag' or 'white glitch' but with it on I see a small 1-2 sec lag. Anyways as you have confirmed it also I don't have to worry about returning mine and will get on with my new Krussel case I'm about to order.

Thanks

P.S If others are having this issue, or know of how to fix, don't hesitate to post.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fun_key:
Please consider that the use of wifi may drasticely slow down the device's power up. I do use the default case with the strong magnet, and when I power up my device with the wifi enabled it takes a while until he completely awake; the wifi plus the switch landscape => portrait (thanks HTC case) slow it down.

I am also experiencing the "auto answer" issue; from time to time when I put my device off its case it answer to the incoming phone call, but till now I was not sure that the case could be involved; are you sure about this? I tried to give some testing but I was not able to reproduce it; it only happen when it is not expected to happen
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sany:
Hi elite_gamer04, As you had rightly mentioned this is really a fantastic device and no doubt about it.....like you I had the same problem when I bought it around 2 months back.

I was breaking my head as to why its happening, it looked for me as if the device hangs on and off...but did not notice keenly the instances when it happened as removing it out of the pouch was too normal a thing that did not hint me that it has something to do with the issue...But I was totally broken and disturbed and decided somehow I am going to get a replacement. I took it to the service centre and the guy there (very smart) as soon as I mentioned about the problem ( I went there thinking that it has something to do with the sliding mechanism) responded spontaneously taking the pouch opened the flap and took the magnet side over the screen and showed it to me....wow yes...its the pouch which was the culprit as we noticed the screen going crazy....Anyway I was relaxed but from that instance I kept aside the pouch that came with the pack and I am currently using a different one from the stores. Till now I have noticed no glitches and am happy I own a real amazing fast device.

About the other glitch you mentioned when the phone is locked yes I tried and it is there even for me but I dont think its a major issue for you to replace the device as its something to do with the screen refresh rate and memory which am sure would be fixed by new ROM upgrades in the days to come...but relax rest assured you own a fantastic device.

All the best :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] neilh:
Thanks for posting this about the screen - I thought I was going nuts. I bought a replacement pouch that has a belt loop - so slightly more secure than the clip. But when i started using it - it always switches to landscape mode.

I'll have to find one without a magnet i guess!
[LG G Watch] BMc08GT:
Just curious, as with no known method of recovering an unbootable device the risks of bricking are much higher.
[LG G Watch] spiderflash:
How would you do that? There's nothing you can flash yet xD
[LG G Watch] BMc08GT:
Still possibilities. Not reading directions, randomly doesn't boot etc. Etc.
[LG G Watch] imwatcinu a:
brick

seems i just did:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
[LG G Watch] dougiefresh181:
yeah, i flashed graphene rom with the kernel thats in android dev, dont remember the name offhand. I realized that graphene wasnt updated so i tried to reset, which resulted in a soft brick because of the kernel im asssuming. I managed to flash back to stock in fastboot with the recovery tool
[LG G Watch] ayuready1989:
mind me asking how? I'm stuck @ the boot animation waiting for it to die then see if it takes me to recovery hopefully :/
[LG G Watch] dougiefresh181:
I used adb reboot bootloader while it was at the boot screen to boot into fastboot and then used tomsgt's lg gwatch toolkit to revert to stock, root and install recovery while in fast boot
[LG G Watch] JaceAlvejetti:
Im soft bricked in adb sideload.. waiting for battery to dies as well, PC wont recognize the device(dosent even show in Device Manager), power off button on the back does nothing.
[LG G Watch] abrarkhandoker:
Yep. Same situation here, tried flashing the Gohma Rom 1.2 and let it die a few times with no luck. It'd just try to boot again and have the little bubbles fly around endlessly. The hard reset button was no good either. I'm really hoping someone's got something.
[LG G Watch] ayuready1989:
it went into recovery for me, try to use the tools once it die and u plug it up, forgot which option i used, stock seems to last just as long as the rom now
[LG G Watch] Christopherthaking:
Bricked?

My lg g watch is stuck on this Spanish screen. It says: se ha detenido la apliaison android wear. I have tried everything except USB to a computer. As I don't have one. It won't connect to my phone and when it did the first time it did it wouldn't let me pull the menu out on the watch. I'm new to this whole smart watch wave and am lost. Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LostonEarth:
Sorry, this is the closest Forum to the K Zoom for it is an official variant of the S5. I just bought the K Zoom 3G (Spec can be found under Samsung country code za: samsung/za). This SM-C111M model runs Android 4.4.2,Baseband C111MUBU1ANE2, Build KOT49HC111MUBU1ANE5. I have a Gear Fit. This model in the spec supports Gear Manager. However, it is not supported on my K Zoom. According to Samsung tech (the best of many answers) is that Gear Fit Manager requires 4.4.3 or above. I can side load the Gear Fit Manager available on xdadevelopers (thanks), but it does not work. One "Samsung Experience Consultant" claims that I need a data plan (currently not using one, but on wifi). But others techs dispute that. I cannot locate a ROM for 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 update if one exists for this phone.

Can anyone help out this NOOB on where to find the 4.4.4 ROM on this new phone (I don't think it is even available in the US yet)? Cyanogenmod? Work around?

Ideas on what is the cause of incompatibility? I am still unsure of the Samsung techs answers.

Thanks in advance. Such a waste on the great deal on K Zoom (US$450) and Gear Fit (US$100) I got!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Odd. You claimed the same thing at three or four other forums too. It's bad form to spam the same post across multiple forums and all within 24 hours too.

4.4.3 and 4.4.4 are just rolling out, so they are probably not available for your device yet. Google will show you that about 30 versions of 4.4.2 are available for this phone on various firmware sites. And that appears to be the most current firmware at this time.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LostonEarth:
[Solved] Finally got the right information and solved this. The key is to update the firmware on the Gear Fit. This can be done with a PC (or Mac) with Samsung's Kies3. Connect with USB using the power connector provided with the Gear Fit. Update Gear Fit firmware, side load Gear Fit Manager from XDA, and you are good to go!

My note 3 is all factory and I want to use RERICK'S alliance rom. Question is my phone is a virgin, other than the Kk update from att or samsung, whoever. Does that rom work on nc2 build or does it have to be on a different or specific build? Or does anyone have any other suggestions for me? I had the infuse 4G and had good luck with custom roms and feel confident about modding this beast now. Also do I really have to worry about knox? I do plan on getting the note 4 when it comes out but I am on the att next plan. Will they still take my phone w custom rom or tripped knox? 0x1. Is there a way to go back to completely stock in the box at all? And would it operate the same?

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Airman1947:
Anyone having this problem? I switched my lock screen security over to the fingerprint scanner the other day, and I seem to be having some problems with it. It works ok. Like I can scan my finger, and the screen will unlock, but I keep randomly also getting asked for my alternate password, which is the other way that I can unlock it.

I'll unlock the screen with my fingerprint, then it will ask me for my password. I can hit Cancel, and it will still work fine, or if I enter the password, it takes me to the Lock Screen settings. It also randomly asks for my password if I'm just doing something random, like using Google Maps. And now, sometimes the screen won't even come on, when I wake the device. Black screen, backlighting lights up. What the heck??? Very strange. Please help, thanks in advance,

I'm having issues with my finger print scanner
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpcalhoun:
I used the finger print scanner for a couple of weeks but went back to a pin because it was just quicker to unlock the device. The only time I got the "alternate password" was when I exceeded the five or six tries you get with the finger print scanner. Are you rooted and if so what apps/services do you have frozen?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Airman1947:
Thanks for the reply! So, basically after failing to unlock with your fingerprint five or six times, it stopped letting you swipe the scanner, and prompted you for your password? Or did it unlock with your fingerprint on the fifth or sixth try, and THEN ask you for your password? Just wondering.

To answer your other quesiton, I am not rooted, but I do have a number of apps "Turned Off" via the Application Manager. They are:

Accessories

Amazon

Amazon Kindle

Amazon Appstore

Caller Name ID

Drive

Flipboard

Google Play Games

Google Play Movies & TV

Google Play Music

Google Play Newsstand

Hangouts

IMDb

Isis Mobile Wallet

Memo

POLARIS Office 5

Slacker

Verizon Tones

VZ Navigator

Should I not have any of these disabled? Thanks again!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpcalhoun:
It would not unlock the phone, I would have to enter the password to proceed. The apps you have turned off should not cause you a problem.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Airman1947:
Hmm intersting. So, my problem is different. Anyway, good to know that the apps I have disabled shouldn't cause a problem.

Well, the only other thing I can think of is that maybe an app I recently got is causing the Lock Screen to go haywire. A couple weeks ago, I got an app called Worx Home from my workplace that allows me to check my work email on my phone. It actually forced me to have a security setting enabled on my lock screen, so maybe it's messing with it. I don't recall having this problem when I first got the phone, and tried out the fingerprint lock. Maybe I should mess with that app.

Anyway thanks for the replies.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpcalhoun:
Yeah, it sounds as if Worx Home could be your culprit.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Airman1947:
Yeah, I think that's a safe bet. In fact, if I read the documentation correctly for Worx Home, the app checks your phone's security every 6 hours to make sure you have a password, pin or pattern setup on your lock screen. Guess maybe it doesn't like the fingerprint scanner since it's such a new feature, and it tries to pull up my Lock Screen Settings, hence the random Alternate Password screen.

Alright, guess I gotta either suck it up, or switch to a pattern or something. Thanks again!

P.S. Can disabling S-Voice or Samsung Messages cause any problems?
