[Moto X Q&A] Gux.1995:
Hey guys, this is my first post. I googled before posting this here, found nothing specific related so here we go :

I noticed this a week ago, and I'm afraid this "burn" at the top-right side or whatever it is will increase, compromising my display quality.

another thing I worry is that the nearest Motorola assistance is pretty far away, so I'm afraid to make my way there just so they can laugh at me and say "sorry, this is not a problem we cover". :(

1.Has anyone had a similar problem?

2.Should I ask for repair/another device or simply ignore this?

Most likely it will. I used to live in Toronto and people were using American satellite providers like DirecTV/Dish Network to get American channels. (not sure if it's legal though lmao)

Seems to get almost full coverage according to Sprint's website.

Just wanted to give a quick update on Sprint's coverage in Niagara Falls. It works great for at least the first few blocks on the Canadian side, with Lte, sometimes dropping to 3g. All the tourist spots are covered. So, in my experience, no need for a Canadian SIM if you're just going to see the falls and attractions.

So I messed up bad, and somehow got rid of the Contacts Storage app. I don't really know how I did it, but now I have no contacts, and can't add any contacts or use the contacts app, as it just crashes. I tried a factory reset (twice), but apparently that won't make Contacts Storage reappear. WHAT DO I DO???

As a result, whenever I try to sync my Google account, it says "Sync is currently experiencing problems it will be back shortly."

If someone gives me the apk, will I be able to install it just like any other app and make my problems disappear? I am a beginner, so if anyone could help me out and explain it to me detailed, please help. I'm desperate.

EDIT: I am rooted, on Android 4.4.2, no custom ROM

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] benzajac:
A few months ago, my Galaxy s4 was exposed to a small amount of water. I instinctively placed it some rice for two days, but when I removed it, the speaker was making a loud crackling noise. Not knowing what to do at the time, I ignored it, and it eventually went away, but the speaker was not functional.

A few weeks ago, I ordered a new loudspeaker to try and fix it. It did not work, but if I put my ear next to it, it still made a very faint crackling noise. I then bought a new USB board (which the speaker connects to), and the same thing happened. No sound and a very faint crackling noise.

Does anybody have any other ideas of what I could try to fix it? I am out of ideas.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] wzhao14:
Why did you place it in rice for two days? The right thing to do after water damage is to blow dry it with hair dryer.

I am no 'expert' but it might be the sound processing chip(welded on mother board) damaged by water and the easy way to fix it is to replace the whole board, which could cost hundreds in the us. If you are in a country where labor is cheap, there are people that can help you fix the chip for reasonable cost. But in the us, you probably have to replace the mother board or just buy another phone.

my advise is that check the whole board with magnifying lens to find any rust or water trail. sandpaper the connection part of speaker,make sure the speaker is properly connected. The problem can be as simple as a weakly connected speaker.

God bless you.

Bought this phone 2nd hand with no box. Double checked that it wasn't stolen and that it's still covered under manufacturer warranty.

There's 4 scratches on the ASF, one of which has a rainbow reflection. Is it possible to buff out scratches without replacing the ASF? Do any screen protectors/OEM ASFs have the Sony logo etched on?

P.S. The cameras produce so much noise! The 13 MP camera on my previous Xperia V is much better (water damaged by river water, am waiting to see whether it can be salvaged to be used as a camera)! The front-facing camera is worse than the one on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 for chrissakes!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:
Make sure you upgraded to 4.4.4 and 4.4.2 got more noises. The 13MP ExmorR on Xperia V is better on low ISO or outdoor while 20MP ExmoRS on z1c should be on high ISO performance and indoor.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
No, and given how thin it is it shouldn't really need to be asked which is why it's best to get a protector on before even turning the Phone on imo. I know it's second hand but.

It is etched on, you'll have to google or browse the screen protector threads to see if/where you buy them from.

Even the symbol on the phone indicated that it was charging and that I had the device plugged into the wall outlet the entire night using the charger that came with the device, it did not charge. 2-3 weeks ago, for no reason, the phone suddenly became very hot in my pant.

Good Evening All, (In the East Coast anyway)

I have done a lot of searching in XDA and Google and I can't seem to find too much detail aside from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1935144

My question is specifically for the Verizon Retail Samsung Galaxy S5. Since we are rooted, is it possible to navigate to where the APN settings are stored so changes can be made to them despite the fact that the OS locks us out of it? I read that if you use a non Verizon SIM card, the APN settings can be altered as needed.

Does anybody know what in the OS prevents us from changing the APN settings or know if there is some kind of way to force the OS to allow us to change the APN settings? My main goal was to edit the "APN Protocol" settings to force it to use IPv4 instead of allowing the network to use either or. Applications such as Opera Max, due to the Kitkat VPN bug, won't work unless the mobile data connection is an IPv4 address.

Edit: May found found my answer / solution: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php...ates when the APN settings may be configured?

My fix for APN Settings SM-G900V [Verizon Galaxy S5]

Okay guys,

I figured I should post this since I can't find anything thing else online solving this issue.

It took me a couple hours of digging around and teaching myself some basic android stuff but I got APN edit access on my Verizon Galaxy S5 G900V APN settings. First, I wanted access because I switched to straight talk and found I wasn't receiving MMS's. But... Verizon locks access to APN's. I won't tell you the story of how I figured it out, I will just tell you what I did and let you make the decision to do it yourself or not AT YOUR OWN RISK.

1) Your phone must be rooted... look around online and choose your own method- it just needs to be rooted. (can't post a link, sorry)

2) install: Build Prop Editor and APN Settings apps from the App store

-----Build Prop Editor allows you to change system values

-----APN Settings is a menu shortcut that you'll need

3) From another forum, I got this information:

** This forum is written for a different phone (Note3) and so are the codes... but they should work long enough to create an APN...

a)Once [build prop editor] is installed find and open Build Prop Editor

b)Hit the menu button and select Edit

c)Scroll to the bottom of screen and add the following lines

#Code:

ril.sales_code=LOL

ro.csc.sales_code=LOL

d)Hit the save button at the top right hand corner of the screen (looks like a floppy disk)

e)Once this is done saving restart the phone

----This part is where it gets weird. Adding the codes in build.prop creates menu issues so you can't navigate to the APN menu

4) open the app that you downloaded in step 2 (APN Settings), that will bypass the menu.

5) determine the APN you need to create and create it (depends on your provider, do some research) (again, can't post url links)

6) go back to build.prop.editor and delete the lines that you added in step 3 and reboot the phone

7) navigate to your APN settings via the menu, the APN you created will not be visible but it will still be there. Select the Verizon APN so you can connect your phone to 3G or 4G data.

8) Try MMS or group texts

That should be it... If you don't get MMS's go through the process again and try another APN (you may have the wrong one) or you can delete all but the factory APN's to return your phone to the way it used to be.

This worked for me and I hope it works for you too.

P.S. sorry this is a bit late in all the forums

Hello. I was able to make all the changes listed above. I am running into a problem when I change the mnc to my provider straight talk. Basically whatever apn I was attempting to modify is deleted, and I run I to the same problem when creating new apns. I can enter a name and change the apn but that's it. If I make any other changes the apn is no longer in my list.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe.jette43:
Hey. So I am not too sure why you don't have permissions to edit apn settings. These are the apn settings Iaccessed and used to get it working on mine... then it is hidden when deleting the build prop codes.

Name

APN

MMSC

MMS Proxy

MMS Port

APN Type

If you don't have access to create a new APN and change those settings following my method, I don't know what to say... Is your phone model a SM-G900V running android 4.4.4? - that's what mine is.

The only other thing I could think is maybe the kernel version when you rooted your phone. I have 3.4.0 and used towelroot and oden to flash it.

Also, I am using Textra as my messaging application and manually configure the APN in those settings to the same one I created.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madspeed:
Hate bumping old threads, but I feel it's relevant in this case. I used the above method to successfully edit the APN and regain internet access and get MMS. However, if I go to Settings>More Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point names, there are none listed at all. I am not getting 4G signal on my SM-G900V running android 4.4.2.

Is there a way to get the actual vzwinternet apn to appear in that menu?

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kasmar08:
I have the same problem as you with an LG G4 from Verizon on straighttalk. I had ST fix their end to get my data working. They have the Verizon APN settings saved on their server for your phone but their settings have to match your settings. Since you cannot add/edit your APN they have to delete their settings and let it pull from your phone. Verizon lets them use certain APNs for their side of the network, that is why their settings are different than your phone and why they will strongly ask you to update them (even though you cannot). I found this information out because their APN settings got updated when my service renewed. I'm not sure if this will be a problem on each renew or if Verizon/ST will work that out.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milesius:
change your radio settings

I think if you search you can find info on XDA about enabling all radios for your phone. if its rooted you can try an apk like signal booster or one of those. They have advanced settings that let you select CDMA/GSM/LTE and prioritize your connection.

If you are rooted you can use coded in the dialer to access those same settings and change your connection prefs.

If I had a link I would share.

I ended up just having to call Straight Talk and they did something on their end that took effect at or around midnight that night. Problem is I had to call them again the following month because after refilling my airtime a day before cutoff I lost my data(which is weird because the new card went in to my reserve). They did something on their end that immediately took effect after a reboot of my device. I'm hoping I don't have to do this every time I refill.

Straight Talk only works for 1 month at time

I have the same problem. I have 2 Verizon Samsung S5 that I have transferred to Straight Talk. Every month for the past 4 months I lose my data signal (calls work fine) . I have to call ST tech support and spend between 15 - 45 minutes (depending on how knowledgeable the tech person is) to get it reset so it works. Each phone does this on a different day so I have to do this twice a month. :crying:

They reset the provisioning on their end. Then I power off and reboot and it works for another month. Does anyone know what I have to set the APN to to fix this problem?

When I used the method in this thread and take the lines out of the build.prop, Only Verizon Internet shows under the APN. Do I need to add a ST APN and not comment out the lines?

I know this is really old, but if someone is searching for the unable to edit APN for a Verzion phone, I have a fix.

Connect the phone for ADB debugging. Then open ADB shell and use the command:

am start -a android.intent.action.INSERT content://telephony/carriers --ei simId -1

It won't let you edit the current one or list, but you can add a new one now, and use it. Just reboot the phone after the new APN is in place.

I've seen this question pop up a while ago but it doesn't appear to have been solved. Someone mentioned that the KTManta kernal might have solved this but I couldn't find that answered anywhere in that thread (here). I am using the USB OTG cable to control an IR Droid USB transmitter in a permanent kiosk installation and I need the pogo connector to supply power so this can run 24/7.

Any help is much appreciated!

UPDATE:

Wooo!!! Just thought I'd give the kernel a shot and see what happens... it works! I have a separate USB voltage meter that confirms, as well as seeing the battery % increase while being used, and my IR Droid is also working.

Just install the above mentioned kernel, plug in the USB Y OTG cable into tablet, external power supply to the male USB end of Y adapter, and external device (mine being the IR Droid device) to female USB end. Plug second power supply (I used the 2.4a (12w) iPad charger) into pogo connector. Win.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3DSammy:
UPDATE: The latest KTManta kernel (04-06-2014) breaks root (SuperSU) with the stock rom. In my case that is v4.4.4 so I've had to revert to my nandroid backup. The issue has been known for a long while but it seems the dev is prioritizing his kernel on other devices. Obviously this means I'll not be testing any time soon.

Interesting, I've wanted this solution for a long time as I use an USB Ethernet adapter from a room with poor WiFi reception. I'll see if it makes any difference if the OTG USB device is attached to a powered USB hub or not and report back.
