Hi all, I think I've bricked my phone. I've tried to load a wrong firmware, now it's not be recognised by Odin3, although it boots both in recovery and download mode. Can anyone help? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] mushrat farshin:
Flash your stock firmware!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] drspiros:
How should I flash the stock firmware, if Odin couldn't see my phone?

Anyway, problem solved, but I don't know how. I followed these steps:

1) I rebooted the pc.

2) I removed the battery for 10-15 minutes, then I inserted again and the phone has been recognized. So I flashed the stock rom and everything was fixed!

Hi,

I received a notification for a software update which brings :- Power Optimization

So I do choose to install it. It reboots, installs, reboots and now it's looping on the LG logo. I've not added any custom software or modified the stock OS in any way.

First LG phone and my phone is literally not functional after an OTA lol. Not a good first impression. Gonna try to see if I can reset it somehow. It's just that all this nonsense is waste of time.

D855 32GB

Edit:

Factory reset seems to have worked. Phone is functional now, but I have to go through the pain of installing and setting up everything again -_-

Hi to all,

Just got dragged into the world of touchyphones by having a S2 i9100 given to me by the kids :good:

Had jellybean on it ..

But being a fiddler of old I had to do things to it :o..

So Rooted it .. no probs, then last week bunged kit kat 4.4.4 (omniRom on it) .. and it been running well apart from the battery life which seems to suffer a bit.:confused: as got most things switched off or turned down ?

But i've just noticed its lost the root access now ?? .

Searched a lot over the net but not found how to get it back after kitkat. ive tried a few things and just seem to jump back and forth between CWM and Teamwin .

Can anyone guide me a bit on getting back root access, and could this help the battery life a bit , seem to have lost about 7-8 hours a day since kit kat ..:( from JB.

Thnks

C .

Root Access is not lost on Omni KK, but u have to enable the same under 'Devloper options' in settings . :)

If u dont see the same (devloper option in settings) then goto 'About phone' under settings and Tap several times on the 'Build Number' to enable the same (devloper options, Since this option is Hidden in KK roms)

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netsach:
Hello,

I am tired of being forced to reboot my device (after using usb tethering) to get usb debugging back, and i ask for help :)

*Please* don't tell me to use network/wifi adb, as i'm basically forced into using solely "usb adb/thethering" at work (computer has no connection to the network at all, and there's no wifi at all anywhere)

Edit: here is another test case without using usb tethering :

- boot the phone, adbd is active and working

- go to dev settings, turn off usb debugging

- adbd isn't running anymore

- go to dev settings, turn usb debugging back on

- adbd isn't running, even when trying unplug/replug

So i'd say it isn't related to usb tethering, but more generally, adbd can't be restarted ?!

Description of the problem :

1) happily debug

adb ok on computer

/sbin/adbd ok on device

2) turn on usb tethering on the device

/sbin/adbd seems to auto-shut (is not running anymore according to ps

on my computer "adb devices" tells me it's offline

3) turn off usb tethering

/sbin/adbd is not restarted

i open term, go su, then "start adbd"

nothing happens, still no adbd in ps

At that step i'm used to restart the device so that /sbin/adbd is properly running again, but i'm tired of doing this.

So my questions are :

- how do i restart /sbin/adbd after an usb tethering session

- then once that's ok, is there a way to have it auto-restart after tethering ?

Thanks in advance !

PS: i'm using 4.4.4 (CM11 20140712 nightly) if it has any importance

[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
There seems to be a bit of controversy swirling around the whole "lag and choppiness" issue on the Tab S. Some are experiencing it to the extremes while the majority are having no problems at all. In addition it seems that the 8.4 is having the worst of this. My guess is that certain 8.4 models made it into the wild with defective parts. While we got about 1/3 reporting issues here in a poll, the negative response rate on retailer websites is far lower. That makes sense as those experiencing trouble are more likely to come here looking for solutions.

So let's try this. If your Tab S is experiencing significant lag, choppiness or scrolling stutter, video tape it and post it here. Please be specific as to the actions taken and websites visited and launcher used. Please also close all other apps and clear memory before completing your tests. I will repeat your test using my 10.5 model and let's compare. Also note if javascript is enabled or disabled in your test. Please also list where and when you purchased your tab.

Also if you have a Tab S 8.4 and you are NOT experiencing the issues you see in a video, please post your results as well.

HOW TO POST YOUTUBE VIDEO HERE:

Some are confused as to posting YouTube videos in this forum. It's simple. Just click the little YouTube button at the top and place ONLY THE YOUTUBE NUMBER NOT THE ENTIRE LINK between the tags.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
Huh. 122 views and no entries? I thought we would get a lot of activity here considering how many individuals have posted regarding lag and stutter issues. There is no wrong or right here. I do not doubt those who say they experienced these problems. I'd just like to test it against a tablet that is not experiencing these issues for comparative purposes.
[Galaxy Tab S General] urself25:
Well, can't say for all the others but I'm at work right know. Will try to post something if I see any lags when I'm at home.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
Ok, thanks very much :)

Here is some other interesting news. There have been reports of individuals experiencing warping of the backs of their Tab S and there was a concern if heat was causing this. Samsung has just announced that the problem is not heat but defective backs. So we know there is some basis to the idea that defective parts have made it into the field on the Tab S. Some bum GPU's maybe?
[Galaxy Tab S General] Orphee:
Could you please give a link of Samsung announcement about the issue ?
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
Sure. Here it is:

http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-says-overheating-not-blame-warped-galaxy-tab-s-back-covers

"Contrary to certain media reports, the slight disfiguration that has formed on the rear surface of the Galaxy Tab S has been attributed to a limited number of defective back covers, which has no relation to the overheating of the application processor or the material used for the back cover. We would like to assure our customers that we have already resolved the issue. We ask affected customers to please contact their nearest Samsung Electronics customer service center."
[Galaxy Tab S General] stamatis:

[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
Thanks stamatis. :)
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
Hmmm, I'm beginning to question how pervasive this lag and stutter issue is. 604 views and no one has posted a video.

Ok here's a brand new test. To my eyes I see no lag or stutter. Everything seems as smooth as on my i5 ultrabook. Smoother actually. Others may see lag and stutter in this video. Perception is reality. What we are looking for is significant lag or stutter which would lessen your enjoyment of the tablet. Your feedback is appreciated.

[YOUTUBE]OMtVuSCq7hs[/YOUTUBE]
[Galaxy Tab S General] clintonroche:
I didn't see any..... and I never notice any on my 8.4 Tab S as well.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
Thank you. Yes I agree. I do not see any lag or stutter either, but others who have viewed a video of mine just like this say that yes, they can see it. Sort of mystifies me as my vision is not bad. Either way I believe what they are seeing is very subtle and would not be noticeable or bothersome to the average consumer.

That's why I was hoping for some videos from those claiming to have real serious issues, just to see what they are seeing and figure out why their device is performing so much worse than mine.

In another thread a couple members are having issues with the white on their screens appearing yellow when viewed directly and turning back to white when tilted slightly. Again, this is not normal for an amoled screen this advanced. It should be white directly on and maybe slightly pink at an angle. One of the members who has complained of stutter and lag also has this yellow screen issue. Maybe there is a link and we have a bad batch of screens? Don't know, trying to figure it out.
[Galaxy Tab S General] jayochs:
i highly doubt my GS3, GS4, GS5 and Tab S all had defective screens.

that's AMOLED tech. straight on it has more of a colored hue than when viewed at an angle. it's sort of the opposite of LCD which looks great head on, but sometimes at an angle can have an off-colored hue to it.
[Galaxy Tab S General] clintonroche:
Mine is pure white..... Maybe I am just blind. Lol.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
Don't know what to tell you. The white on my screen is pure white with no hue whatsoever. If I hold the tablet at a slight angle it appears just a bit pinkish but absolute sheet of paper white straight on. I owned a Tab Pro and the screen looked completely washed out side by side with my Tab S. Colors are better, whites are whiter and blacks are blacker. No contest.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
Mine too brother. When people talk about the screen being yellow or blue straight on I honestly have no idea what they are talking about. My best guess is that those seeing yellow have their color calibration set too warm and those seeing blue have it set too cold? Dunno but mine is without a doubt white.
[Galaxy Tab S General] gamenahd:
My Galaxy Nexus had a more of a bluer, colder screen than my Tab S. The whites on my Tab S are pure white which is nice.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
Yes, thank you. :)
[Galaxy Tab S General] mingkee:
About whiteness, I did a test along with Note 3 and Note 8, and the test units I used AMOLED movie mode.

All units used Chrome and open Google.com with desktop view.

10.5 model white is "normal" while 8.4 unit is a bit warm.

It appears Tab S in different BestBuy had same results.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
Thanks of doing this. Too small of a test sample to draw broad meaning but there is an argument for making the 8.4 screen warmer as it is more likely to be purchased by users who intend to read books while the 10.5 model is targeted more at the business user where a cleaner white would be appreciated? Just throwing out ideas here but not implausible.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Divine_Madcat:
Ok, thread cleaned again.. Any more fighting, and we will close this up, so EVERYONE, keep it on topic, mmmmk?
[Galaxy Tab S General] mingkee:
Actually, I'd prefer all units have correct whiteness under 6000 Kelvin or Sunlight to produce correct color.

However, according to my opinion, white becomes bluish under <5000 Kelvin.

Moreover, I don't like too warm (too dirty) or too cold white.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
Me too. What would really be great is for Android to give us the option to set temp and gamma ourselves.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
Thanks Divine,

Folks, if your Tab S has a warped back, is overheating, has a yellow (not just "warm") screen and stutters or lags badly, it's defective. Those tablets which don't perform in this manner are not magical or special, they are just normal. If these problems I have just listed were widespread there would be an uproar across the marketplace by retail consumers and reviewers. There just isn't.

We sympathize that you are unhappy. We've all purchased lemons before and know how frustrating it can be. I personally suggest you return your unit and buy one from a different store selling a different production run. I personally believe the 10.5 model has been more reliable in feedback I've read. But please don't accuse those who are not experiencing your issues of being "fanboys" or any other derogatory term. We are simply happy consumers.

Let's stay on topic and have a healthy debate of the ideas. Thanks :)

P.S., If your battery life sucks, welcome to the club. So does mine. But then again i like to run my tablet full out as fast and bright and shiny as it will go. In just 1 hour and 22 minutes this morning I've already burned 25% off a full charge just web browsing. This is why I carry an external battery pack when away from home. Smaller than a deck of cards and doubles my battery life without plugging into the wall.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mingkee:
The most recent Sony phones and tablet have this option to adjust RGB individually.

I may go for Z2 tablet instead of Tab S because of this.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
Well, RGB and color temp or gamma are completely different animals. You can download an app from the market which will allow you to adjust RGB on your Tab S.

It is called Screen Adjuster Free in the market.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mingkee:
Yes, I used it on Asus Memo Pad FHD.

The screen on the unit is way too "dirty" (muddy white), and I used it to change the color, but it turned out the black and grey had blue tint.

I just wish Google will add this adjustment like Windows does with reset option if something goes wrong.

Some custom kernel (e.g. faux123) has RGB + gamma adjustment enabled in conjunction with app.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
Yes I believe some Nexus models have the ability to adjust gamma in their kernel but have not seen it elsewhere.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Milhouse82:
I wouldn't call it lag, but more of a .2 second stutter. I experience it when the device is unlocked or when I close chrome. It's barely noticable.

For the record I'm a Samsung homer. I own a Gear 2, Note 3 and Tab S 10.5. I have owned S2 - S5, Note 2, nearly all galaxy / note tablets and I have to say this is the tablet with the least "lag". However I am coming from an iPad Air because, until the Tab S, that's been the best tablet in my opinion.

[MENTION=2735188]mitchellvii[/MENTION] may have hit it on the head when he said, "perception is reality".
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
Quick side note regarding the poll about white reproduction on this Tab S screen. As I suspected it looks like those who are having issues may be dealing with units with some sort of defect. 8 out of 10 so far feel the white reproduction is satisfactory. If you are seeing excessive yellow or something resembling a dirty smudge in the middle of the screen, that isn't normal and you might want to consider seeking a replacement.
[Galaxy Tab S General] xRevilatioNx:
I call it micro stutter. And it's horrible.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
Based upon what I've read and seen of your tab I think you have a defective product. Don't you also have the warped back? I think you might have a lemon. We've seen warped backs, yellow screens, screens with big dirty smudges in the middle, excessive lag and stutter, overheating. None of this is normal and indicates a bad manufacturing run.

This other individual is experiencing microstutter only upon unlocking and when closing Chrome. You were experiencing it all the time weren't you?

Also have you tried disabling DVFS using Wanam?
[Galaxy Tab S General] simacca:
Micro stutter is not a defect it's bad programming by samsung. Some people just notice it more and some people just find it plain annoying. I notice it on all of my Samsung devices (worse on my note 2), but fortunately doesn't annoy me as I really enjoy the rest of the eco system.

It seems that if anyone mentions anything slightly negative about this product you bring up the 'defective' argument. It's so bloody annoying!

Then you go on to suggest changing this and changing that. Why would you suggest people to change settings or rooting to change settings if they have a defective unit? Doesn't make sense.

Cosmetic damage, then yes, but micro stutter or lag does not mean defective! Obviously you don't have much experience with Samsung and Touchwiz. That's the impression I get of you anyway.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
Running Nova Launcher and either Dolphin or Maxthon Browser on my 10.5 I never experience microstutter at all. The chances that Samsung built a few defective tablets is far greater than the chances they built millions of lemons and one magical perfect device I was lucky enough to buy. The fact there is almost no mention of this problem by retail reviewers also makes me believe this is an isolated problem. Isolated problems indicate manufacturing defects. It's just logic.

I posted another video comparison online of the S4 running both Touchwiz and Stock Android natively side by side. The result was that benchmarks were almost identical and while Touchwiz performed slightly better with streaming video, Android was better at Web pageloads. But neither were dramatically better at either task. Of course this test did not include the memory sucking Magazine UI included with the Tab S. If you choose to still run that, live with the lag it includes.

And let's also consider the fact the Samsung has clearly had some manufacturing issues with the Tab S. Yellows screens, warped backs, smudged screens, excessive stutter and lag (by excessive I mean more than could be expected on any device. My i5 ultrabook occasionally stutters and lags and it has benchmarks 4 times as high as the Tab S).

So we have a record of manufacturing defects. We have a test showing Touchwiz is not in fact the lagfest people think it is. We have the vast majority of retail reviews which almost never mention lag or stutter as an issue. It is quite reasonable to deduce from what we do know that those few experiencing significant issues in these areas may be experiencing a defective product. xRev said that microstutter on his tablet is "horrible". That is more than a "slight problem" and why I suggested his tablet may be defective. While the other poster mentioned some microstutter it was extremely minor and a non issue.

And why do I feel the need to defend this product against broad negative generalities regarding its performance? A number of posters have mentioned that they almost didn't purchase this tablet based upon the negative feedback in this forum. But after deciding to take the plunge anyway found they were experiencing none of the same significant issues. I am merely providing counterpoint to those who are projecting their individual issues onto the product line as a whole.

And perhaps you are hypersensitive to lag and stutter? Possible but the vast majority of users are not. So when this tablets performance in these matters is referred to as "abysmal" that is in my opinion subjective and misleading. For the sake of potential owners I say so.

Men of good character can disagree. :)

P.S., I don't find you annoying.
[Galaxy Tab S General] simacca:
Your first sentence says it all [MENTION=466069]mitchell[/MENTION]! It's a shame you have to use a different launcher and browser to not experience any micro stutter. You also feel the need to constantly tell people to switch off javascript. The amount of posts by you saying the same old thing is quite amusing. The rest of your post has gone in one ear and out of the other because I can't be arsed tbh, and I've more than likely already gone over it all before. I don't really like repeating myself like some people do.

P.s. you will eventually find me annoying.
[Galaxy Tab S General] mitchellvii:
And yet my repetitive and annoying posts have generated over 80 thank-you's in the Tab S Forum alone. Regardless your post borders on a personal attack. Probably smart to stay away from that and just discuss the issues.

Most of those who are running stock Touchwiz everything are not experiencing "horrible" or "abysmal" performance as some members are, and that's my point. No device is perfect, but if your problems are that severe, chances are your device is defective.

My suggestion would be to put me on ignore if you don't find my input of value. That way I can still help others and not bother you. :)

P.S., I use alternative launchers and browsers not to avoid microstutter but because I enjoy their additional features. For instance, the stock browser actually benchmarks higher than Dolphin but I enjoy the Dolphin bookmarks sidebar and some of the addons.
[Galaxy Tab S General] simacca:
DAMN! I pushed the thankyou button by mistake.. That'll teach me for 'attacking you'. Really, lol!

I won't be putting you on my ignore list because I will be letting others know that there's another point of view and not just your's, as you seem to like pushing stuff onto others, which imo is wrong. That is how a lot of your posts come across to me and others. I don't care how many thankyou's you've got.

The word narcissistic that someone else mentioned a while ago seems to stick in my head quite a bit when reading a lot of your stuff.

That's all from me for now. I expect some long winded reply to follow.........
