[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McYora:
Hey guys,

So bassicaly my galaxy s5 won't charge via pc/car stereo usb port. The pc recognizes the device, and vice versa but i keep losing percentage.

When i connect the phone i got it set a multimedia device.

Can yall help me out?

Sorry for my grammar, im dutch.

Are you using official cables or cheap third party?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] termdj:
I sometimes sit with the same problem. I use the Samsung provided cable. If I do use the phone for whatever I loose charge. Doesn't matter if I use usb 2 or 3 ports. Some days it would charge, but very slow. If I do get it to charge via usb, then it takes +- 8 hours. I did pick up that after a "usb" charge, the battery life sucks bad. Then I will barely get 12 hours and then I barely used my phone. When charging via the normal charger I get 2 days of life with the battery

Would a computer USB port put out enough current to charge the phone well? Don't PC usb ports only supply 500ma, I was under impression phones needed a good 1A or more to charge correctly.

Sorry for the late awnser,

Im using the original cable. I didn't have any of these problems w/ my old galaxy s1 and other phones.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verny94:
Use another original cable. :) Samsung stock died a lot :)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McYora:
The cable works fine on other phones though?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GodsGift:
The S5 has a bigger battery again over the S4 and my S4 only charged properly with the charger supplied.

I've tried charging my S5 with my wifes old S2 charger and it does but slowly. So always use the S5 dedicated one.

Also, USB trickle charges and the S5 is a power guzzler so the USB port wont give enough power to charge and use the phone at the same time. If in doubt then pub the phone in Ultra Power Saving mode while charging. Should charge quicker that way.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoffan:
similar situation with my S5 mini DUOS.

I have an always on wall charger with 2 USB sockets, giving 2A.

I have used it with all of my previous phones without any problem.

now, it just wont do anything with the S5 mini, doesnt matter wether I use the original cable which came with the original wall charger, or any other. the phone ignores it

[Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2] DannyGM16:
These ROMs were make by a friend of mine, he is not a proffesional developer but he wanted to help us

We are making a new ROM, a serious ROM, but we nedd some proffesional help to make some hard things, like recover the OTG.

Turbotrend is not "a real custom rom"

I saw in HTCMANIA that pollog09 tryed to gather a team for some serious custom rom building but without any success i think!!!!

XDA forums should be a better place 4 such thing,it would be easier for him to gather a devs team here,no?

You too my friend should consider gathering a devs team from here. It will be easier and faster i think.
[Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2] DannyGM16:
I think we need to make a small team to give support to this phone, but... How? Great Developers don't buy this phone and Samsung and Broadcok fu**ed us with things like removing OTG.

We need a serious team making a serious ROM, not a ROM with some small changes.

I think that i can help if somone want to port custom rom. If anyone want to do that i can help for this person...

Sorry for my bad english....
[Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2] DannyGM16:
It could be very nice! I have an idea. We can make a post to collect people. We need a Beta tester, various translatos, various developers (for CWM, Kernel and ROM), somebody who make the post of the ROM and makes the screencaptures, a server where we can submit the sources, etc.

In HTCMania I spoke with a moderator to make a room for the Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus, I've ordered it a little bit and I've directed all the users of this phone to it and a whatsapp grup. Now I think that I should collect all of the developers I colud get, and you or anyone can help me. We want support and ROMs and we are going to have support and ROMs!!

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfhopper:
Trying to give new life to a friend's Kindle fire, but it seems to have a weird problem and she has no idea why. I've looked through the forums and I have found several posts that are close, but not the same (and the solutions won't work either) because the KF will just shut down the minute a cable is plugged in.

Here's the array of responses for the various attempts:

The device will charge if it is plugged in (USB cable and AC charger) but no light comes on at all under any circumstance. And it will shut down when plugged in to charge, and will not power up if on the charger. If it is just powering up and you plug it into the charger, the light stays on for a few seconds and the first screen that just says "Kindle Fire" shows up, then it shuts down.

The device will boot if no USB cable is inserted. The device will shut down when you insert a USB cable. The device will not boot with the cable plugged in (AC adapter or computer) and the power button never goes green. With a usb cable plugged into a computer, the computer will not recognize the device (and it shuts down immediately upon the cable being plugged in to the Kindle.) Also, if you just power it up, then plug it into the computer (just like with the power supply above) the light stays on for a few seconds and the first screen that just says "Kindle Fire" shows up, then it shuts down.

When I received it, I noticed that the case had been opened (or at least pried on.) Also, the USB connector was loose. I removed the board, re-soldered the connector (it appears to be intact now, but the connections are TINY so there is a limit to what I'm sure of) and reinstalled the board. Behaves the same way. I performed a 'power button' reset to the device and there was no change. I performed a factory reset and there was no change to the behavior.

Next I purchased the N2A fastboot cable thinking that would allow me to boot the thing and force a real reset (and install a non-kindle version of android), but I went through everything again and there is no change in how it reacts. The moment that USB cable gets plugged into the kindle, it shuts down. I think I followed the instructions properly (they aren't that complicated) but I'm having no success.

I've reset it a couple of different ways and several times with no change.

Any suggestions?

My goal is to get this thing working, install a 'non-kindle' version of android and get it back to her to use as an inexpensive tablet and e-reader, just not tied to Amazon (or BN).

That sounds like a hardware related issue some kind of permanent or near permanent damage.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfhopper:
Thank you for the reply!

I'd agree that it could have a hardware component. I don't think it's fatal though since 1) it charges, 2) it powers up and works, 3) the wifi works.

I'd guess that it has something to do with the USB (to serial?) hardware but I don't know where to look on the board (other than tracing the traces but it's a multi layer board....)

I'm comfortable working (or rather 're-working') surface mount components. I have not see any interior/board layout info so I'd have no idea which chips to be looking at or testing.

Any suggestions about what area might be affected or pointers to schematic designs?

Thanks again,

Grant
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Grant you could attempt usb boot it acts different than any other form of booting the device and may actually fix what is broken do a Soupkit setup, and run usb fix parts install fff and twrp.

There is at least the potential that it could travel the course less traveled and rebuild partitions that may or may not be broken.

Soupkit is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1850038 and you will use one of it`s components firekit.

Rather than attempting to do a physical repair to the board because the components are very small and packed so tightly together.

It`s a medium to high risk approach but if you desire it could lead to benefit.

Truthfully IMO some things are better left alone.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfhopper:
I think that is a good plan and I very much appreciate the advice.

The fire is nearly useless to her in the present state and she was going to 'toss it' when I suggested the alternative. So, at the very least it's an education for me, and at the very best I'm able to resolve the issue, learn something and get her a working tablet in the end.

If I can get it acting 'normally' that would tell me a lot.

I have a spare 8G thumb drive so I suspect I'm in good shape for tackling this and it will be an interesting change to run linux on something other than a raspberry pi or a server....

Thank you again!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] kettir:
I get what a bootloader is--the low level programming that checks everything and then boots the OS. And I have read that when they say "locked bootloader" it means "encrypted bootloader".

Have previous bootloaders been un-encrypted and thus made flashable? Or was some "exploit" found that enabled the bootloader to be replaced with one that would be unencrypted and thus ROMs could be flashed?

It sounds like the bootloader being locked/encrypted prevents much being done in the way of custom ROM flashing. So at this point we have Safestrap, unless that doesn't work on the AT&T g900a.

So, what are the designers working on at this time--unencrypting the bootloader, finding a way to simply replace it, or using something like Safestrap to create a space where a different ROM can be placed and the bootloader bypassed in some way?

I suppose I am curious to find out just how tough this locked bootloader problem is for the devs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] spasch:
From what I have seen very few bootloaders have ever been unencrypted publicly by the community. There have been some devices although rare that the manufacturer has had a change of heart and allowed to be decrypted in most cases at the cost of your factory warranty.

My last phonetic galaxy s3 was not encrypted and allowed an insecure boot image. This did not check to make sure the rom, modem, or kernel were not signed. The development community is still very alive today years after its release.

Hashcode's safestrap allows for a custom rom but to my knowledge has never allowed a viable custom kernel. He did amazing work with this technology around the Motorola Droid 3 but the community never really built up support for the device.

It's a shame as my old s3 with a good rom and custom kernel is much much faster and more usable than this locked down s5.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] kettir:
I did a quick Google to find out if other carriers had the s5 with an unencrypted bootloader. Nothing came up immediately except mention of the Verizon s5 developer edition. Android Police had this to say about the developer version:

The unlockable bootloader on the Developer Edition allows end users to easily flash a custom recovery, and then root or flash a custom ROM. Other than the unlockable bootloader, this Galaxy S5 is exactly the same as the standard Verizon model in both hardware and software.

I did a comparison of the straight Verizon s5 to the GSM s5 on Phonescoop and noticed differences (less GSM levels). Therefore it would be a loss, as far as performance goes, to get the Verizon developer version.

Overall, I'm happy with my s5. I've got root. I've found ways to get the features I want (often through Xposed.) It definitely seems faster than my s5 even though I'm burdening it with Go Launcher (just to get all the pretty themes.) I can freeze the bloatware or even delete it via Titanium Backup. So I'm not super anxious about it. I just hate being locked out of anything on something I purchased and own.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daedalus-420:
Welcome to Verizon! As far as I know, you can't merge received calls, only a three way call that you initiate. You also can't swap calls when you dial out to two different callers, you can only merge them. If you want to disconnect one caller from a three way call, hut the menu button while on your call screen and you should be given the option to disconnect one of the calls.

Verizon 3 way calling does not work like a normal conference call feature. It is very limited.

Hello all -

I have been toying with this gen 1 (maybe 2... not sure) off and on for about half a year now.

The device used to work great and was running stock OS. One day it just gave up the ghost. My daughter was using it and it would not start up into the OS. When starting the device, it would load the yellow Kindle Fire screen and just hang indefinitely.

Using a factory USB cable, I was able to use KFU and get TWRP loaded.

Within TWRP I can see the SD card (contains ".android" and "TWRP" folders) and even load files from the PC to the SD card.

When I go up levels, I can see what I think to be the OS directories, but none of them seem to contain any files.

One of the folders is named 'system' so I have a good feeling this is the OS.

However, I am not able to mount the system nor the data partitions within TWRP.

On my PC I can explore the device and I can see the SDcard perfectly fine, but no system or data.

What I would like to do is just reload the stock OS back on.

I have loaded the latest Amazon update to the SD card and tried to install it.

Near instantly, the TWRP screen says that it can't find directories and it fails/stops.

I have tried every button in TWRP for fixing permissions, wiped system, cache, etc. (everything cleared), resetting everything etc etc.

To no avail, I still can't get the system to mount.

I do encounter an error when fixing permissions as it fails every time. It says it can't fix permissions and wants me to try again after booting a ROM. (whatever that means?).

.

I have also tried using adb shell to force the device to reboot into fastload and then load the OS update.

I was able to get the latest TWRP loaded this way, but could not get the OS to go.... again, it can't find the directories.

Currently, when I start up the device I get a blue logo screen and can get into TWRP. If I go to boot normally, it continues to the stock yellow logo, dims, and freezes.

Your error is due to the fact that your trying to flash blaze with an otter recovery it's totally normal new recoveries don't like old updater scripts.

The updater script in sd_shadow 's zip is modified to avoid that error. When flashing stock use cannibal open touch recovery it will not give you this error just make sure you wipe cache, dalvik, data and system prior to flashing update.zip. It's not a good idea anyway wipes your recovery and bootloader anyway, I would choose to keep those intact.

So I've tried this 3 times now with no luck.

The first time I tried, I got through the TWRP text saying it was doing some stuff, doing more stuff, thanks to 2 people.

Then it went to the Teamwin screen and every few seconds that screen would blink. Eventually the screen went to sleep and pressed the power button once and the teamwin screen was still there.... so I left it alone for about 5 minutes.

After waiting, I held down the power button and restarted the KF.

Round 2.

Wiped everything and sent over a new copy of the ROM.

This time it got to the teamwin screen and after about 30 seconds of blinking, it went black - completely off. Seconds later the blinking teamwin screen came back in all of it's glory. After more blinking, the screen turned black, not off because pixels were still lit up, but black. Power button was blinking red very slowly. Waited... waited... held down the power button and restarted. Still operated with no OS booting up.

Round 3 - exactly like round 1.

Round 4 - Everything the same, but this time I noticed the lit black screen turned off and came back on. Then it just stays lit.... no power button color either.
