[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
If you bought it from the Play Store from Google they don't care if you unlocked the bootloader or have a custom ROM or whatever. As long as it's a real manufacturing defect. If you bought it elsewhere you'll have to go straight to LG and they'll probably charge you or maybe even refuse.

What was the result of trying to relock the bootloader?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
Google does not care about root or custom rom.

Can you please reboot to fastboot and post the "VARIANT" line here. Thanks.

[MENTION=5666997]Lethargy[/MENTION] you have asked why there are two type of memory brand. I think this is how google managed to rise the production of nexus 5 to avoid that all nexus 5s are being sold on the first day and there will be no more until next month like what happend with nexus 4.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamC95:
Hey people,

a few weeks ago i grabbed my old phone (the i9000) and thought, let's flash a 4.4 rom, so i did, went great but the phone keeped having random reboots, so i thought let's switch to stock rom, did a full wipe and flashed stock rom with odin. Now i'm havring a bootloop, but i can't get it to go away, i flashed the stock rom again, i went to (stock samsung) recovery mode and did factory reset/wipe cache partition but nothing seems to help, can someone help me?

Gr, Sam

PS: Sorry for my bad english
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knuckles1978:
When you flashed the stock ROM with odin, did you use a 512 pit file and have repartition checked?

You must repartition when going from KitKat to stock. And never tick repartition without having selected your pit file first, because if you forget and start the flash with repartition checked and no pit file added, then your phone is hard bricked.

Was your stock ROM 2.3.6?

---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ----------

If you did use a PIT file with repartition checked, then there is a file called dbdata.rfs which you should flash as PDA in Odin which should resolve your bootloop.

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------

KitKat can run fine on the i9000, but don't flash it directly from a stock ROM. From stock, first flash CM9, then CM10, and then your KitKat ROM usually helps things go smoothly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamC95:
Nope didn't use the PIT file, where can i find this PIT file?

But thanks for your help bro, gonna try it.

I am gonna try that too, thanks again!:laugh:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knuckles1978:
Once you have the pit file, you flash it at the same time as the stock ROM in Odin.

Do not flash stock ROM in Odin with repartition checked and no pit file selected. You will break your phone!!

Once you have flashed the stock ROM together with the 512 pit file and repartition selected, if the phone doesn't boot then you need to separately flash dbdata.rfs as PDA on its own.

Then you will have a working stock ROM phone.

Just search XDA and you will find links for the pit file and also dbdata.rfs in case you also need it. Most times, actually, probably all of the times I have flashed stock, I have had to flash dbdata.rfs to get it to boot.

Follow what I have told you and it will work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamC95:
It worked!!

First flashed the ROM with the pit file, still boot loop, but after flashing the dbdate file it worked! Thanks for your help bro.

Just flashed CM9, now going to flash JB and after that KK, hope i don't have the same probs as before!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaLing15:
Hi guys i need your knowledge. So i have a rooted Google Nexus 5 with Cataclysm 4.4.2 in it and atl4ntis haven't updated it ever since December of 2013. And then one day i got a notification from Play Services and it wants me update to 4.4.3 but then i have a custom rom so i was wondering what would happen if i install the update, would it make my phone go back to Stock Android or would it make the rom Cataclysm 4.4.3 or something like that.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
It'll fail to install.

Backup data with Titanium Backup then wipe and flash another ROM that has been updated.

I dont like dalvik because its slow unlike ART. I always want to use ART and not dalvik. Now i returned to Cataclysm. Do you guys know what could be the reason why atl4tis is no updating his awesome rom? If he really retired on updating it i hope someone will continue his good work.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UrbanDesigns:
Hi,

I'm off to a festival soon and usually I have to bring 2 standard fully charged batteries and a 4300mAh anker battery to get through because all the ROMs I use seem to drain my battery, idle or not.

I have rooted my S3 since the beginning, going through a ridiculous amount of custom ROMs but now I'm starting going back to stock would be a better option. I've been using an iPhone 5 recently and was absolutely amazed when I fully charged it at 100% and then 2 hours later it hadn't dropped a single percent, granted it was locked the whole time but if I did this with my current S3 then I would of lost probably around 10 percent.

Can anybody recommend me a good ROM and tell me how much battery they're left with when they go to sleep/wake up. Approximately I will lose probably about 35-40% during the night.

right now i'm using the latest version of android revolution on my i9300
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lsalamun:
Stay on sammy based roms if you want better battery life, and if you want, stay on stock for stability, just fully debloat it from all of samsung crapola and install for ex. boeffla kernel. Kernel is the main succesor for good battery life in my opinion.

Then try playing with the kernel in boeffla settings, if you stick to zzmoove governor you'll get max 1% drop overnight (that's 8-9h).

Also to mention, all apps are greenified except Facebook and Whatsapp, WiFi was on but sync, gps, bluetooth etc was off, aaand battery is 1.5y old.

P(r)oof:

When i wen't to sleep round 1AM it was on 71%, in 9AM it was on 70%.

I had boeffle before but didn't alter the default governor, just changed it to zzmove/zzmove battery so going to charge phone to full and see what drops I have, thanks for the tip
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.loverlover:
Hello,

I'm currently owning htc one m8 and I'm thinking about changing it to note 3.

Could you give me some advise, if it's a good idea?

The htc is great, however it's battery life isn't the best and note 3 has much larger battery, I hope the numbers really mean something in practise (not like it has been in n7000).

In the past I've owned few Samsung devices including note 2, so I know that sammy roms suck (because of how show they are).

I mostly have like 120+ apps installed so I want my phone to be fast, like htc is.

Can a sammy rom do that, or is it still laggy (like n7000 and s4 running stock based rom) ?

Maybe you could share some of your opinions about this device, maybe talk about some things you can't see in a store, while testing the phone (for example how hot the processor gets, does it restart often when it's hot or too many apps are running).

There are always some things about the phone, you learn while using it.

It would be very nice, if some of You already owned both of these devices.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidzer1:
I really really like the Note 3 and as far as battery life goes it is by far the best phone I've ever had. I don't have any battery savers running either and if I have it on all day starting at 100% charge and just use it a little I don't usually see it go below 98% by evening. I should add that I use mine in airplane mode so the cell radio is off but that's the same way I've used most of my Galaxy models as well as older Motorola's like the Bionix, X2 and so on. Out of some 10 phones this note gets by far the best battery life which surprised me considering the larger amount of RAM and CPU speed it has (also 32GB ROM). This phone has been incredibly snappy fast with the stock ROM (4.4.2). But I have not used any of the HTC's so I can't compare it. It is way faster than either Galaxy S3 I have and those were not bad.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kickenwing13:
I've played around with dad's rooted m7 and I've had note 2 and note 3, both rooted and Rommed. There aren't many roms for. The Verizon note 3. From my understanding the m8 has way more, but the note 3 doesn't have an unlocked bootloader. That said, there are a few roms including one by beans and Baja they are building together, which should. Be epic.. I love my note 3, the camera is better than M8 (except in very low light, the screen size and colors are better, it's actually very skinny and easy to carry around. That said, without rooting and romming your stuck with touch wiz, which as you know is a much heavier skin than HTC sense. HTC sense is beautiful and I love using HTC, but I love the feel, battery life, screen, and I love how. The pen is integrated. M8 actually may have note 3 on battery life, but I just bought an extra to carry in the event I don't have a charger when I need one. Battery life is amazing but on the latest software we've seen a decline, which should be fixed in the future. I love this phone, have shopped for an m8 but never go through with the deal because I really love this.. No lag. This Thing is a beast
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NorteX:
Im in the hunt for a new phone. Ive been thinking about buying the new Z3 Compact when its launched but I cannot stand the modified android version the different manufacturers are using, I HAVE to run vanilla or close to it. I know I could root any phone and install stock android on it but im not sure if its worth the hassle for me considering it takes time to make a stable rom etc.

The perfect phone would be a smaller Nexus 5 in my mind, good usability in one hand and fast updates. I guess it wont exist in the near future tho?

Is it a smart decision to buy the Nexus 5 today?

You have had help deciding whether or not to get the nexus 5 I think it is best you decide which color you like when you get to the store or if your purchasing online then look at the colors there. The color part isn't much of a big deal and mainly comes down to personal preference. So I think it would be best for you to decide on your own ;)

Aside from that, I believe the google play edition is only in Silver color with 32GB of storage (I could be wrong). If he has done a full-conversion, the bootloader and software should be identical, so I doubt if you can tell the difference.

That's all I know. Hopefully someone else can point out some other differences. -)

Hi

I have downloaded paid books from Google Store into my Samsung Galaxy tablet. I can read these books with the Play Books application of the the tablet, but I'd like to transfer it to the Kindle App library because the reader is better. The problem is I don't know the location of the downloaded Google books and the Kindle books in the tablet file tree system.

When I search the tablet for the book's name with the MY Files app, I have no results, even though the books are there and I can read them( either with the Play Books App for the Google Store downloads or the Kindle App for the Amazon downloads, depending where the books were downloaded from)

In the file tree of the My Files App, there is a Kindle folder, but when I open it there are a few files identified only with a number sequence, no title. It could be the books in question, but when I try to open these files, I can't because there is a message saying that there is no application to open them. So I am back to square 1: where are the books and where are the FROM/To locations to transfer a book from one library ( The Google Play repository) to the other ( the Amazon Kindle library) so that I can read the Google download with the embedded Kindle reader, with or without conversion...

Thank you for your suggestions

Not to be discouraging but in these days and times with so many people learning to mod and how to take phones to other carriers , and all the simple one click root / unlock / recovery methods out there its becoming so easy for almost anyone to do what we used to have to do with cmd prompt adb and making boo table disc of Linux just to root or install whatever. These carriers and manufacturers are just safe guarding against warranty claims and losing a subsidized phone to another ..... I understand .... Do I think its right ...HELL NO My phone I paid for it don't tell me how to use it. But.....my phone I paid for it and would I want my 10 year old son to be able to do this stuff without the knowledge of how ? Nope Cuz in the end when he bricks it and I need him to have a phone when he goes off around the neighborhood or stays at a friends then guess what I gotta eat the cost.

I'm unable to encrypt my Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-i337. I need to encrypt for work access. I'm currently running stock NC1 rooted using the steps here.

When I try to encrypt, I get through the confirmation steps, enter my password and select "Encrypt device." It immediately goes to a black screen with the Android encryption logo (attached), and then a few seconds later the phone reboots to my home/login screen. No encryption.

I've read through quite a few threads from people having similar problems. I'm aware of the problem with trying to install Safestrap on encrypted devices so I tried uninstalling Safestrap but that didn't help. I've also tried the following: retry right after boot, use Airplane mode, stop running apps, unfreeze bloatware, factory reset (tried both from within Android and from the stock recovery menu, both retains root). The only thing I haven't tried is unroot, but I've read that encryption should work with root.

Any other ideas? Thanks.
