This is the worst bug yet!

I hope someone finds a fix to this soon. I am running 5.0.1 on a Verizon S4. All the techs at the Verizon store could tell me is that I need to upgrade to a new phone. After telling them I didn't want a new phone right now they gave me a new SIM card but that hasn't helped either. When I go into an area where I don't get service it seems like my phone just stops searching (perhaps to save battery?) Then it never seems to wake up and find service again even after I go back to a known 4G location. The toggle airplane mode on and off thing rarely ever works, so I don't think the radio is just "sleeping" to save battery. A complete restart is the only thing that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] valkokir:
I have this same issue (stanglite 5.01 ROM) and have tried a number of things to resolve it. I can post those steps if it is helpful to the discussion. In short, I've tried several modems and resets.

I should specify that mine is not identical to the OP as mine specifically shows that I have no signal. and it doesn't seem to be trying to find signal.

Mine was unchecked, I have checked it now and am giving it a shot and will definitely respond back if it helps. Thank you for the insight.

I'm also trying the following solution from VZW forums:

There are tons of hits on this issue but no solutions...

It would be nice to find the actual problem instead of throwing a bunch of things at it to see what sticks.

Wife's phone started to randomly get a security question when she goes to unlock it.

Pops up with a message, header says "SECURITY CHECK" message saying "Please type the sentence including the space in the box below." and the sentience is "Life is good".

Not sure what it really is as there is no security considering it gives you the answer. :confused:

She has knock code unlocking, anyone see this or know how to stop it?

There is a thread on Android Central as well regarding this with no answer (Can't post link, search their forums for message above)

Thanks in advance!

Answer

So something happened where the knock code was entered incorrectly too many times. And the backup pin was erased. Go to ur settings and recreate your knock code and then it should ask for a backup pin. Once that's all created the annoying security check should go away......hope this helps

Hey Everyone,

I've read that you should avoid running these modules on-top of one another. Is that still true?

I do my best to avoid conflicting styling. If Xposed G2 is modifying my status bar, I make sure G2 Tweakbox leaves that status bar completely alone. Is this good enough to avoid conflicts? Or are conflicts deeper than that?

I am rooted and have SS installed.

Just last week, my VM symbol showed up. I use google voice and have been for a few years now. It was the stock VM symbol. So, I listened to my messages in stock (not GV) and deleted them. The symbol still stuck. I removed the battery and restated, still nothing. I even went into the phone app and force stopped the phone app. The icon went away on my status bar for a few hours, then it reappeared!

Its just frustrating.....normally I would just put a piece of black electrical tape over whatever was bothering me.....this...well, I can't.

I have searched several forums and there used to be a setting somewhere that would just clear the notifications.

I have not changed anything with my stock VM or GV settings in years.

Not sure why this is happening all of a sudden.

Thanks in advance

I'm having the same issue, it just happened to me today and I have google voice as well. I can't even get into my stock voicemail inbox. When I call the stock voicemail it goes to my google voice recording.

Have u found a fix? And why is this all of a sudden happening to us around the same time?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] putney1477:

Yeah every time I reboot it reappears.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikeyfitz14:
Strangely enough this exact thing happened to me yesterday. I resolved the problem by:

Change VM provider in phone settings back to Verizon VM.

Open voicemail app and (if available) sign up for the visual VM demo (or call the VM number, you should be able to get in now).

You should have one or more VM's in the stock system, make sure they are all marked as read, notification should go away.

Switch your BM provider back to Google Voice and now you should be good to go.

If you signed up for the Visual VM demo, you can cancel it now.

This has worked for me so far, rebooted multiple times and the notification has yet to return.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popkurn611:
Wow that actually worked, thank you so much. What is weird is that I did have a voicemail from yesterday that went to the stock app, not google voice which is strange. What caused it to do that?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] boma23:
hi all

I've been handed a Note1 to use temporarily (I'm normally a Winphone bloke), and TBH I'm not enthralled by my first Android experience, apart from the bigger range of apps (see my first post here whilst I still thought it was a Note3 :silly: )

I know the unit is old, but I'm already having issues with space (see thread above), the unit is sluggish, and seems loaded with Samsung and Google stuff... and I know it's not the latest Android at 4.1

I really don't want to spend hours trawling through forums and testing/flashing different what appear to be hundreds of different ROMS out there (which i have previously done with all my old Winphones), as this is only going to be mine for e few months, but I do want to know if there's a well proven, lightweight, good on battery ROM that does the basics really well. I want a nice simple clean interface, no crashing, and easy connection to my Exchange, Gmail and Hotmail accounts. I'd also prefer my SMS separated out from email, and if it's based on a much later version of Android then all the better.

There doesn't appear to be poll for which is best/lightest etc. like I used to see on my old XDA forums, so sorry if this is a common question.

If there's one or two stand out ROMs that are recommended I'll go off and research installing them myself :good:

thanks

Dear readers,

I hope you all fine.

Just bought LG G3. Shifted from S5. Facing problem of SD card not being shown in the setting> storage and not even the file manager.

When I plug in the sd card it shows a notification in the phone, "SD card inserted". However, after showing this message it does not show in Storage (setting) and file manager. Meanwhile, the sd card perfectly works in S5 even I plug it again.

Card: SanDisk 64GB xtreme series card.

Please tell me the solution to it. I am really worried.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustLok:
First off, it might be a bootleg, I had the same problem. But, since you said you used it in your S5 and it worked, it's probably not.

The G3 might not be reading its contents or able to mount it properly, it senses it in the slot but can't or won't read it.

You can try backing up and copying your SD card's contents onto a PC. Then quick format it on your PC and then insert into in the G3, go to Settings then Storage and then, if it's mounted, choose Erase SD card.

After doing that, it should be able to mount the card and read/write to it. Then you can copy your files over to the SD card.

I noticed what might cause it not to be read is the Android and Data folders on the SD card (carried over and written by your other phone). I'm not sure if the G3 reads those and see other system files/configs and decides to ignore it or not.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huskerkate:
i had the same problem. could never get an sdcard to mount, so i had to return the phone. my new one read the sdcard (same one) just fine. luckily, when i returned it, the VZW person didn't know to check for root... lol

installing this through TWRP 2.8.7.0 didnt work... and fastboot was even worse.

I attempted to install twrp 3.0.0 through the image install option in TWRP 2.8.7.0 and it said it worked so i rebooted to bootloader and back into recovery, and bam. no TWRP 3.0.0. only TWRP 2.8.7.0. When i tried a Fastboot install, and i did use the correct command (fastboot flash recovery <filename>, it did install TWRP 3.0.0 but it also ended up soft bricking my device. I had to do a full wipe through TWRP 3.0.0 and install CM11. not that im complaining, i just wanted to point out a bug so that other users do not end up having the same problem as me.
[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
I just used the twrp manager app from play store. Worked fine. You do have to be rooted though for it to work.

But do not try network specific roms or firmwares of some different model.

I'm using a russian i9500 firmware on my Indian i9500, and it works better than the rest :)

[Moto X Q&A] a1exus:
I'm using Motorola Moto X with Verizon Wireless (XT1060) (on unlimited data plan) and Android KitKat 4.4.

I'm having some _MAJOR_ issues with battery( and bluetooth as well. The only reason I didn't update my phone yet is I _REALLY_ need to have WiFi tethering and as far as I understand I cannot update my phone to even 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 as I'll lose root and therefor wifi tethering.

I will definitely try to wait for Dan Rosenberg and/or Justin Case, however as of now as far as I know it's not certain if/when an usable exploit/tool would be released to public, so it's a long shot(

my question is with recent Obama signing bill about "unlocking" cell phones, could that be another way or is it something completely different?
[Moto X Q&A] sivarticus85:
This has nothing to do with bootloader unlocking. This is in regards to SIM unlocking, which allows you to take your device to another carrier.

You can take the 4.4.2 OTA and still root with PieTowelRoot, I have a moto x on 4.4.2 right now rooted with it and using the entitlement hack by kryptonite, the set up works nice.

[Moto X Q&A] a1exus:
the downside for that is i'll lose write protection to /system.

as much as i like to do that, i don't think there is a point to do that right now, especially as in less than a month new version coming out...

i can use it too, just gotta pay for it and just person next to me i don't wanna) especially 'cause i have unlimited data plan))
[Moto X Q&A] doitinthedirt:
i dont have any issues with my batt and im on 4.4 rooted with slap.. I keep the brightness down to a minimum location battery saving mode and I get 3 or 4 hours surfing constantly lot longer than that if I'm just using it periodically. I also have another Moto X its on 4.4.2 rootrd with topie using entitlement hack and I don't see any difference at all in the battery.. or anything else. I'm on the grandfathered unlimited data plan also so I need the hot spot it powers my home internet Netflix everything. you won't lose write if you go to 4.4.2 when rooted with towel pie you can write but your changes are lost if you reboot
[Moto X Q&A] a1exus:
I don't even get 2 hours of screen time(( I guess its also depends on apps you have installed and usage, before i took OTA update from 4.2.2 I was getting _MUCH_ greater screen time for sure, so I was thinking since there are bugs in 4.4, updating to anything higher would (re)solve at least some of them, but going that route has its own pros and cons.
[Moto X Q&A] frenchie007:
Since you've still got write protection off you can use safestrap to flash newer versions and retain full root, that's what I'm doing!

And I'm getting much more battery life with 4.4.3 (over 4.4.2 at least)

EDIT [MENTION=1165307]KidJoe[/MENTION] : I sent you a PM regarding the post below this one...
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Verizon LTE phones are sim UNlocked out of the box, and considered "global" due to quadband GSM support, and some HSPA support.

Verizon users on a TIERED data plan can tether without hacks or anything. I just eats from their tiered data bucket.

Those still on the old Unlimited data plans have to pay for tethering or hack their phone. Hence rooting being required.

[Moto X Q&A] rebretz000:
Since I have a Moto X and Droid Ultra I could pop in a Cricket or Net10 sim and be good to go? Every time I tried to search about only thing I can find is sites to pay for a SIM unlock code.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Depends on whose towers Cricket and Net10 use. If they use GSM (like use T-Mobile's towers), then yes.

I can stick my T-Mobile USA sim (my work line used for GS3 and iPhone), into my personal Verizon X since I got it. Some of the firmwares work better than others, some I needed to manually enter APN settings, some I get "SIM is from unknown provider" etc.

With 4.4.4. its been the best and most compatible to date. I haven't had to enter T-Mobile's APN settings on my VZW X, and voice, sms, mms and data work, including HSPA+ and LTE. There is a slight lag of switching from H/H+ to LTE (like after I hang up a phone call), but that is about it.

Keep in mind, the VZW X supports LTE bands 4 and 13. T-Mobile uses 4 and I'm not sure if they use any other bands for LTE.

For HSPA/HSPA+ on T-Mobile, you need to be in areas where T-Mobile has re-farmed their 1900mhz from EDGE to HSPA/HSPA+

Now, if you use ATT... EDGE/GPRS/HSPA/HSPA+ will be fine, but LTE will likely not work as ATT uses different bands.
[Moto X Q&A] a1exus:
as much as I'd like to use that, I really would like to stay on stock rom, and that dev made some customization to rom that i'm not too crazy about it, i really wish there was a rom without any of that customization.. maybe its just me and everyone else wants to have all that customization in :confused:
[Moto X Q&A] rebretz000:
I'll be using ATT. If T-Mobile was where I live I'd be all over it. I made up my mind to leave Verizon and I just want to get going. I'm going to try and do the activate, port, and generate new Verizon number thing. I don't want to buy new GSM phones yet. Going to hold out until the new Moto X is released or Moto Maxx. Or Motorola Nexus to buy new phones. My wife won't give up her Droid Ultra at all. The Active Display has her hooked. So I have to wait to see what is coming in September.

I have an old Thundebolt and RAZR HD to activate on my verizon lines right now.

If I pull this off I'll have two unlimited data lines up for exchange for some expresidents

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SupremeTaco:
To put this out there, since it was frustrating me for a while:

When you use the pogo cable with a 1.4 amp charger, the tablet will shoot up to 100% battery pretty fast, drawing at least 1.4 amps constantly until it is charged. Once it hits 100%, it changes to only drawing .45 amps, which is not enough to keep the tablet charging while being used. This means that over the course of a week or so, your tablet will eventually die. You can unplug the cable and plug it back in, then it'll jump up to 1.4 amps again and charge, but the cycle repeats itself once you hit 100% battery.

This seems to be a glitch with the pogo port, as USB does not do this. USB charges to 100%, then the current is variable (between .3 and .9 amps) depending on what you're doing with the tablet, so that it constantly keeps it at 100%.

If you're trying to install this tablet as a 24/7 kiosk like I am, DO NOT USE THE POGO CONNECTOR. :selffive:

EDIT:

Should this be in the general forum since it's not technically a question? Sorry, I am new here and not too familiar with the rules, or how to move this thread to the general forum...
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marklyn:
I'm very curious about this issue. I have ordered a pogo dock for my Nexus 10 and will use it in my kitchen 24/7, as a type of kiosk, like you mentioned.

Did you find out anything more about this, like why the pogo charger drops the charge after the tablet reaches 100%?

This might be bad news for me, the tablet won't work very well if I have to have it tethered via a USB cable.
