[HTC One Mini 2] dlorde:
My stock Vodafone UK HTC OM2 has a problem I remember from the HTC Desire - when it loses its cell signal, it sometimes tries to pop up the 'select network operators' or 'available networks' screen (not sure which it is, now I'm back in range), in place of whatever app screen is being displayed.

This isn't a major problem for most apps, but when I'm driving and running a satnav app, it causes the screen to blank (as if timed out), so I have to press 'Power' and unlock to regain the display. The app continues to run in the background, so I still get turn-by-turn audio instructions, but sometimes you really need the satnav display, and trying to reactivate the display while driving is potentially dangerous, especially as, in weak signal areas, it can happen repeatedly.

Does anyone know if it is possible to disable this useless and annoying popup?

I rooted my note 8.0 with CF Auto Root without a problem.. but I stupidly used titanium backup to freeze some apps :eek: and i guess i froze the touchwiz interface by mistake and now i'm stuck at the Samsung booting logo!!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vertigo911:
Hello everyone,

I've read whatever I could find about the subject, but the fear of bricking my device led me to open up a new thread;

I just want to make sure I didn't miss anything (I cant post on the development thread).

So, I have a galaxy S3 I9300XXUGNA8 4.3, and I want to wipe it clean, root it, and install "resurrection remix" rom.

From what i thought I understand, I can do that by

1. factory reset

2. root it by following: cant post urls. google "Root I9300XXUGNA8 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Firmware Running on Galaxy S3 GT-I9300- Simple Tutorial"

3. install the rom using the instructions here (cant post urls): (youtube) watch?v=ROoHyHVIzl8

my questions are:

1. In the installation instructions in the main development thread it says: - Make sure you are either on any KitKat ROM (CM11, etc) or on 4.2.2 TW based ROM and NOT on 4.1.2 TW based ROM.

as stated, my JB is 4.3, and it says nothing about it; am I safe to continue, or am I not suppose to install this rom?

2. the video instructions (number 3 above) is meant for note 2; can i apply them to my device and just choose, "galaxy s3 i9300", or should i follow a different set of rules altogether?

3. should I "factory reset" before I start rooting, or can I do that as part of the rom installation (I want to start clean, and have a back up for everything else)?

Thank you for your kind help, energy and time. it is very much appreciated!!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vertigo911:
thanks, i have, but...

thanks, i have,

but my question comes from the fact that I see some people had 4.3 and still installed Resurrection Remix successfully.

given that i9300 4.3 is one of the most popular versions of the galaxy s3 out there, i guessed that it should work, but since i couldn't find any official confirmation for it, I would still like a sure-fire answer (meaning, for all I know, the guys who made it work with 4.3 are far more knowledgeable than I am, and probably took further steps than just follow the instructions for 4.2)..

again, I just need confirmation for 4.3, and that is why i was so specific. I searched for hours to the best of my ability.

thanks again :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
Basically Resurrection Remix is a 4.4 Kitkat rom when you swap between versions ie 4.1 to 4.3 or 4.3 to 4.4 a full wipe is recommended this means format system, data,cache etc not just a factory reset this is what causes alot of trouble for people when flashing.

I recommend PhilZ recovery it as a option to "install a new rom" in settings and wipes the necessary files needed to install a new rom.:)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vertigo911:
Thank you very much!

the reason I asked is because I heard 4.3 ota update has knox, which means trouble...

You're basically saying that if I'm not having problems rooting the 4.3, I shouldn't worry about installing RR 4.4, right?

again, thanks very much for helping! I really appreciate it!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
I9300 does not have knox and will never have knox:D Just make sure you do a full wipe system data etc and also do backups if needed and you will be fine..Also look at the link in my signature before you flash anything backup your efs or you may have big problems later if you don't!

"bigxie " has an solution to restoring R/W in Android 4.4.2 SENSE 5.5.

He has modified Platform.xml, and this is what I have tried, but as a complete newbee in Android / Linux, my Phone reboots with an error message afterwards.

My Question:

Is it possible to replace the Platform.xml bigxie has incooporated in his zip whit my own Platform.xml, og maybe just edit the existing platform.xml so it could Work with Sense 6?

I need to edit the file and add

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >

<group gid="sdcard_r" />

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

<group gid="media_rw" /> (This Line)

</permission>

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE" >

<group gid="sdcard_rw" /> (This Line)

<group gid="media_rw" />

</permission>

and them remove the differences from his and mine XML

If possible any help in explaning how is very much welcome->

Edit (1),

I meant any help in answering this question, I'm familiar with ABD, flashing and sideloading so I doesn't need help explaing how to edit a file, just do I have to use a special program to open and repack the zipfile or will any program like 7z, totalcommander etc be enough to do the job

I've search, and found a lot on how to open Rom's and APKs but nothing about edit or switcing a file in a Zip

My phone HTC DESIRE 816 4.4.2 Sense 6, unlocked, rooted and CWM 6.0.4.7

EDIT (2):

The file from Dev I'm talking about, only has the file Platform.xml inside, the path for the file is the same as the path on my Phone system\etc\permissions, so does antone know if it's possible? if not, are there anywhere I can get sense 5.5 and is it possible to eiter flash or sideload either file?

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucker#1:
I have a dead pixel too - but honestly - is it worth making such a big deal out of it?! Why don't you just live with it and save you all the trouble? It's not worth it in my opinion - what if you get another device with a yellow band in exchange? That would be worse wouldn't it? There are bigger problems than just one dead pixel - if it were green all the time that would be much worse.

You can also do like I might and wait for your shared invites to come in, use one to buy a new phone, then sell your current one on eBay or something. Just be sure to be honest about any issues with it. ;) Given the low supply you'd probably still get darn close to retail for it. :D

Stuck pixel here :(

Though I bought the phone nearly two months back, got it only today from a friend travelling from the US as my country is unsupported yet for shipping.

I discovered a white stuck pixel that stays on in any damn screen when the phone is on.

Pete Lau was drumbeating so much about being very strict with quality, but if so many people are complaining about the screen, this is not good.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Depending on whether the pixel is actually dead (meaning it either gets no power or shortened) or stuck (crystal can't rotate) you may be able to revive it. There are applications for that purpose in the Play store that very quickly toggle through several colors in the hope of jiggling the pixel free - leave it running for a few hours and check if the screen is fixed.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AVTR1337:
Hello! Yes!

I have a stuck pixel at my opo. I can just give you one advise. Don't change it. Just don't care about those pixels and more important: Don't search dead pixels. I wad also like you, and so i ordered 3x htc one x, 3x galaxy s3 and all of them had dead pixels or stuck pixels. Also my galaxy s4 had one, and my lg g2! So every ****in phone has them. It's like a big joke and you need very good luck to get one without.

So now i have my opo, and also have 1 stuck pixel. But you know what, i don't care. You have to learn this.

Otherwise you'll be going crazy. Just be happy with your phone. In some time you will get another phone anyway.

So pfff.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdawdy:
My S4 mini SGH-i257M was malfunctioning so i sent it in for repair. The local Rogers store sent it to FutureTel in Markham [Toronto] Ontario Canada. This is what they did, according to the Completion Report that came back with the phone ...

;RF Calibration performed to enhance RX/TX performance and network connectivity. Passed RF compliance test to meet manufacturer specifications. Adjusted battery level to optimize power usage.

It has been two weeks now and not only has it not malfunctioned, but the battery life is significantly improved - from 2 or 3 days of light use [usually just 2] to 5 days of light use.

What did they actually do? Does the recalibration affect hardware or software? Did they perhaps re-clock the CPU down to a slower speed? Any way to check this? What do they mean by adjusted battery level?

The phone is running KitKat 4.4.2, not rooted.

Thank you,

Mick
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdawdy:
Here are three replies from other forums to this same question. Anyone here want to include an opinion? It would be most appreciated ...

The first part (RF calibration) means they adjusted the radio to improve reception and transmission(rx/tx), so your call/network/wifi reception will be better; the battery level adjustment implies they altered the voltage to improve battery life. In both cases it's more likely they replaced faulty parts with fully functioning ones. Good to see you finally got your issue solved Mick

It seems like what they did is install the OS from factory state and give u a new battery and maybe re clocked the CPU. Unfortunately they won't give you the proper information on what they did nor will u able to find it. There are some apps which tell u what system and software it uses but that's about it

All that I can tell you is RF stands for Radio Frequency. Apparently your cellular radio was tuned a bit off from whatever frequency(ies) your carrier uses. I wonder how they calibrate this.

Their statement "Adjusted battery level to optimize power usage" makes no sense to me. It's almost an oxymoron! But then, when signal level or reception of signal is poor, firmware detects this and gives the hardware an extra kick of battery juice. So maybe that's what they adjusted?

I'm really just guessing about RF calibration and battery adjustment. Hopefully somebody more knowledgeable will shed better light, especially regarding your questions about processor speed
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mascarponi:
I also would like to know what they did with 'improving radio frequency'. Got the same problem as you, and would like to check if it's possible to manually fix the radio/frequency-problem, cause the guys from the repairshop didn't fix anything for me..

Otherwise: is there an app that notifies me when network connection is lost ?

I found this one : (updated url) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cnigrini.networkmonitor that works well..i now see immediately when my phone loses network connection.

However, now i still have to manually reset it by turning on/off airplane mode. Is there a way / app that does these steps automatically ?

So notifies when network dorps, and then refreshes it..

That would be one way to solve the problem i think..

It notifies when network is lost. However it doesn't refresh the network unfortunately.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdawdy:
Well, it gets worse. The phone messed up today same as before. A bit more than two weeks after the "repair". I was at home in one of the strongest signal areas. Would not receive or make calls or use mobile data. So back to the Rogers store. By the time i got there it had started working again so i could not demonstrate the problem. Also used a lot of battery power today, about 40% with light usage compared to 15% or less per day for the past two weeks.

What the counter guy at the Rogers store said is that there is nothing wrong with the phone, that all cell phones do this, and that i should adjust my expectations.

Here's another ConnectionChecker app. This one attempts to reconnect ...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.jeremychase.ConnectionChecker

Anyone have seen another app for this that they like?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mascarponi:
Hey Mdawdy, thanks for posting that one, when reading the descripting it seems like this one is doing both things: checking when connection is down, and when it is, puts the phone on/off airplane mode so that it reconnects again.

I will be testing this one for this time now..

It's probably true that all cell phones lose connection some times, for example when being in a place where connection is very low, but the problem with this Galaxy s4 mini is that it doesn't reconnect again when in an area where signal should be good...

Probably some software thing i think..

I'm still at 4.2.2 by the way.

Edit: found out that with a non-rooted device with android 4.2 or above, it's not possible for an app to toggle airplane mode on/off. So there are probably no (non-root) apps existing that will do this .

However a forum member made a tool that does this: http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/app-jelly-bean-4-x-airplane-mode-helper-t2385625
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdawdy:
I installed and tried this one. Appeared to be working altho i did not have a network drop. Then i turned on, used, then turned off Wi-Fi. From then on the App continually reported that the network was lost even when it was good. Restarting the phone did not fix it. So i uninstalled the app.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mascarponi:
For me it's also not working properly, and i bought the full version :((

It's not notifing me when connection/wifi drops.. but I only see it when opening the app.

Also, like i said, i don't think there's an app that toggle's airplane mode on/off when gsm-connection is lost, because it's not possible with a non-rooted android phone that runs android 4.2 or above..

Very disapointing..
