[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LarsonJayz:
Turns out it was the battery sir. I've tested it with another battery from 2 different phones and it worked fine. While the phone i tested with the defective battery didn't event get passed the samsung logo. I've suspected it might be having the low voltage causing the phone to shut down.

Anyways, after that i bought a new battery immediately and everything seems ok. thanks for the reply doc.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] maelstromm:
I can confirm that it is likely a bad power button, I have tried everything including dismantling it and seeing if I could dislodge any dirt that may be causing the problem but it didn't work. Looks like I have to find a local repair shop or ebay to get it resolved. Anyone recommend a good place to get this fixed. Funds are limited :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Im not sure exactly how difficult the repair is most people seem so do it themselves and have given indications that its pretty easy. You can find the part online for a few bucks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alec.claire:
Hello!

I've got identical problem as in this topic for this other phone http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1204845. I guess S4 has a different sensor's vendor, so my question is what file should be deleted?

At present, I'm not in possession of S4, so I anyone would be so kind and check it on their rooted device that would be nice.

1. Doest it still work when the phone is:

- touched with a little magnet like in a standard vertical flip-case (with little magnet) or

- travelling by car/bus/train or

- plugged in headphones

In the one I had (I don't have it any more) while plugging in headphones, or travelling by car/bus/train, or putting it in an flip-case with a little magnet the arrow In Google Maps pointing the direction which a device is currently facing simply freezes. Compass app also freezes at the same time. The app called Android Sensor Box in the scale for magnetometer reaches its maximum level. While moving the little magnet, from mentioned before filp-case, around a phone the arrow travels with it. Move it away and it freezes. It simply won't move. While sticking S4 to the metal part of laptop table the arrow immediately points opposite direction. Only making 8s in the air helps but only for a bit. Neither S3 9305 nor S5 have this problem. Even when stuck with a magnet their arrows in GM works just fine.

2. Does deleting the file fixes the GM's arrow issue also permanently even when a phone is in the flip-case with a little magnet?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andechys:
Hi all! I have a long-standing problem with my GNex Maguro and I finally decided to post in this forum, which I consider the best!

Since about a year ago (when I decided to upgrade from 4.2 to 4.3) I've problems with receiving whatsapp notifications: I get these notifications only when unlocking the screen or with large delay.

I have tried everything, any ROM and any kernel (PA, SlimKat, Omni, CM and kernel franco, dirty, etc.) without solving the problem. I also tried app like PNF and Wifi Connection Fixer, but they did not bring benefit.

I'm currently using CM11 with franco kernel, but the problem is here. :/

Please help with any advice you can give me. I'm seriously thinking to switch device, 'cause that problem makes it unusable.

Thanks!

When I click on Restore from TWRP I don't have anything to select from. The files are copied to the internal storage, did a factory wipe.. nothing. Please help

Using TWRP 2.7.1.1

Edit:

I made a backup with TWRP and saw it made it in another folder.. moved your nandroid backup to that folder and it's shown :) Thanks!

Edit 2:

It showed as failed and couldn't boot. I'm restoring my old backup now to see what's wrong.. It might've not copied correctly.. I don't know ;/ Will continue to update this post

Edit 3:

I saw it hasn't copied itself correctly 'cause I did move them through the phone's file manager

Edit 4:

After successfully restoring, I can't access fastboot to flash boot and recovery.. I saw that TWRP automatically flashes boot from the restore, so I don't think that's needed. But for the recovery, I'll try later.. right now I've booted up the phone and it started without a problem. Didn't ask for any setup though.. I'll try adb reboot bootloader now and flash boot and recovery, then lock it again.. if it works, I might just format everything and do a clean install :)

The fastboot still won't work, the PC doesn't recognize it at all... ;/ It just shows 'USB Device not recognized' popup and that's all -_-

Seeking assistance to return to stock ROM

I followed it and went from a EE-branded running Android 4.3, to a fully stock, unrooted Android 4.4.2 and Sense 6 and on HTC's own release channel. Best thing is you can leave as Super CID and S-off and when you come to sell it, change both with a couple of basic fastboot commands. Or easily re-root it again and use a custom rom, should you feel inclined.

I suggest 87 for volume on both channels. This value is sufficient for louder volume without risk of damage.

The problem with mic occurs when we set more bass for speakers:

I'm using S16_LE now, less bass but no problems with mic. [MENTION=4170892]dontbelive[/MENTION] is working to get more Bass without trouble for mic recording.

I erased SD card from Settings -> Storage -> Erase SD card

I formatted SD card in my PC with FAT and exFAT.

I formatted SD card with ext4 using some application in recovery mode.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Can you see any condensation inside the camera glass?

Can you see any scratches on the coating on the glass? The rain event may just be a coincidence, and possibly just the bike trip itself caused scratches on the glass coating; which is a very common issue causing foggy or blurry photos.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I was actually more thinking of pictures taken with the phone, but this is somewhat helpful as well.

Not completely clear from your pics, and probably verbal description would be a little more informative. But it appears from the photos that there are maybe some scratches on the bottom camera (but not a lot) and there seems to be some dots of specks on the top camera (dust or moisture?); although this can just be an illusion of the photo. Correct me if I'm wrong on any of my assessment, as pics can be deceiving. What do you think, looking at the camera glass on both cameras?

If you think the issue may be caused by the scratches on the camera glass, this is actually pretty easily solved. Those scratches are actually from the coating on the glass, and not the glass itself. It seems the intended protective coating is very inferior and easily scratched. The fix is using a mild abrasive (car wax, toothpaste, etc.) or other means to polish off or scrape off the coating and expose the actual smooth glass underneath. This issue and various fixes are discussed here: http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/general/how-to-fix-htc-one-m8-camera-issue-t2803825

Although, it takes a decent amount of scratches to "cloud" the photos. And it doesn't seen that your camera glass is that scratched yet (again, that is just what I can assess from the pics). Personally, I started noticing some minor scratching within the first couple week of owning the phone. And its only been just recently (after having the phone for almost 3 months) that the scratches became bad enough to blur or cloud my photos. I used the solution of polishing with a dab of toothpaste to remove the coating (and pics look perfect again).

If the issue is being caused by dust or moisture inside the camera, this is a much more difficult issue to solve without taking the phone apart.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kasi14:
I think there are lots of scratch which are not visible in those pictures. But are you sure that I must use a toothpaste or something to clean it up or give it to HTC service center?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You can certainly try to have warranty service for this issue. However, I think there have been mixed results from folks on here. I think some have gotten it fixed under warranty; while there are also there are reports on the thread I linked above where folks were getting charged $90 to $300, and even an administrative fee if you chose not to have the paid repair (and have the phone sent back as-is). So its kind of a gamble.

Also, its not clear to me if the "fixed" camera done by HTC is any better than the original (if they have resolved the issue with the coating).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kasi14:
If I do it by toothpaste method what will happen if it gets scratch later on?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If you are worried about the glass getting scratched, you can cut a screen protector to size, or there are some protectors that even include a separate piece for the camera.

But I would expect the actual glass to be much harder to scratch then the coating. I carried the One X (EVITA) in my pocket for 2 years, and only minor scratching on the camera glass that did not affect picture quality.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lutonian:

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaeedFazlollahzadeh:

The default player can play it. And also almost all other players can play it
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hush66:
I suggest that you keep File Commander. Since KitKat 4.4. was introduced, there is a limitation in which only system apps (and not 3rd party apps) can write to SD card. File Commander is considered a system app. Xplore is considered a 3rd party app. That's why you can't do much with Xplore (or any other 3rd party file managers you download from Play Store).
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
As a system app it can only be deleted if he is rooted, and if you are rooted it is a 1 minute join to get around the write to sd card issue in kit kat.

Not all 3rd party apps work even after root. AirDroid doesn't work for me after KitKat, even after applying the SD card fix. It worked before KitKat.
