[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cdhagan:
Samsung Galaxy S3 (T-999) stock, not making or receiving calls. Has been getting worse over the last 6-8 weeks. Now phone is almost unusable. Shows 4 bars of signal.

Phone says dialing, but never connects, no ringing sound. Sometimes after power cycling can make two or three calls. Often does not get data connection, though even when shows 4g cannot access data services. When others call, they go to vox mail. No ring or notification on phone. No error message.

Have tried several trouble shooting steps: Have tried different network modes. Have tired manually selecting T-Mobile. Have booted into safe mode. Have cleared the cache. Have done factory reset. Have tried different know good T-Mobile SIM card, and finally I replaced the SIM & SD Card Reader Module.

Nothing has had any effect, can anyone suggest a next step?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Flash stock firmware and factory reset. If its still happening after that theres a good chance its hardware or network issues.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cdhagan:
In case anyone has a similar situation- flashed the factory ROM as DocHoliday77 suggested, but that still didn't fix the problem.

Had to send it off to Samsung for repair, who diagnosed a corrupted ESN and replaced the system board, (or PBA in Samsung speak).

Cost was $70, which also added a new 1 year warranty on the phone, and the customer service was excellent.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xdm9mm:
I doubt they really replaced the board. Do you have a new IMEI/ESN number ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
It actually wouldn't surprise me tbh. Its a much simpler process to swap a motherboard than to fix the IMEI/ESN problems! (I've done both, many times!)

I'd imagine, just for customer service sake, they would swap the board for a refurb and send it back. Then they can take their time getting around to fixing the original one. Then it would be come the refurb and the cycle of life continues!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomo123:
Since there is no confirmed information stated anywhere on the web about S5 Mini supporting / not supporting USB OTG, I tried it myself.

Bought a cable, tried it, and was left dissapointed. Did not work.

So, can anyone else confirm USB OTG working / not working on a S5 Mini ( G800F )?

P.S. Flash stick and USB OTG cable I used work perfectly on a couple of tablets I managed to test in the meantime.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomo123:
Confirmed. No support for USB OTG. Lock.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvorakjiri:
Yea... No support :(
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hennymcc:
The G800F is capable of USB OTG. It simply is not enabled in the stock firmware. I build a custom kernel with USB OTG enabled and it works.

It even powers the USB device so no external power source is required.

So far I tried keyboard, mouse and USB-audio. Everything works. I haven't tried USB storage so far as the power consumption is much higher than for other devices - it might work but it can also damage your phone.

At the moment I cannot create a new thread to post the kernel (10 posts are needed before this is possible). So I will do this later.

I wonder why Samsung disabled this feature - and if they will enable it with later firmware releases. Maybe there really are power issues.

Also my tivizen USB-OTG DVB-T stick works :)

I got this bundled with an EDD-D200B docking station for 17€. First I was disappointed as neither the docking station nor the DVB-T stick worked with the stock firmware. With the stock kernel, the DVB-T stick is not recognized. Now it works just fine.

With the stock kernel also the docking station is useless. Nothing happens if you put the phone on the dock. It does not even charge the phone. This is because the dock usb port is connected to a resistor on the OTG ID-pin. As the stock kernel is not compiled properly, the G800F recognizes the dock station to support dock mode but it does not switch to this mode.

In my kernel, dock and car dock support is still disabled. Maybe I will enable this tonight in the kernel. Would be interesting if it charges then or even routes audio to the audio connector in the back of the dock.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da_jok3r:
Great news. Later you can do for g800h?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hennymcc:
Hi da_jok3r,

I don't have a G800H so I will not try it. But if I have some time, I will write down the steps to perform to enable USB OTG.

This way it might be possible to port the changes to the G800H. But as totally different SoCs are used in G800F and G800H chances are not that high, that the same fix will work on the G800H too.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hennymcc:
Some more update:

USB-OTG mass storage works. Tested it with a USB flash stick and I can browse the files.

Enabled desk dock support in the kernel and now the EDD-D200B dock charges the phone. No need to remove the dock's internal resistor anymore. Unfortunately, audio is not redirected to the dock's audio connector. The sound still comes from the phone's speaker. Either the soundchip's audio pins are not connected to the sm5502 USB-switch or there is some software component missing.

Here the dmesg output after connecting the dock:

[ 485.951912] [0] 834 muic-sm5502:sm5502_muic_detect_dev dev[1:0x0, 2:0x40, 3:0x10], adc:0x1a, vbvolt:0x2

If audio routing through the dock is not supported, maybe I will just use USB-audio to get the audio through.

Love to here more on this

Hi there

Music to my ears. I have a S5 Min 800F and am desperate to get the OTG working. Just invested in OTG cable ANT+ stick and new ANT+ enabled Cycle computer and I had no idea that OTG was not operational.

With my old Samsung S2 I routed and change the software to KitKat but this one is still new. Does it involve route and wipe and start again or is there an easy way?

Love to hear more please

thanks:good:
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hennymcc:
Does that mean, you have not tried so far if OTG works for you? At least with my firmware (G800FXXU1ANJ2) it did not work - but it is possible (but unlikely) that official firmwares exist that already support OTG. Maybe you can test if OTG works and post your firmware version here.

My smartphone is rooted but it should also work without root. You have to flash a new kernel (contained in a boot.img file) with Odin. Although this does not root your device it will probably trigger the KNOX counter and void your warranty. As only the kernel is replaced, the Android system and your data will survive - so you don't have to start again. But I would recommend to safe your data before, just in case flashing the kernel fails.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhotoRepair:
OTG not working with firmware (G800FXXU1ANJ2) exactly same as yours.

Why should we suffer an inferior phone when the OTG is there and just needs switching on! So Id have to find a Kernel with the OTG enabled? Or do you have one?

Thanks so much for your help
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hennymcc:
I already built a kernel with OTG support for the G800F. I will post the link and some notes as soon as I can open a new thread.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hennymcc:
If you already rooted your G800H you could check which USB switch is built-into your device. Connect to your device via ssh or adb shell as root. Then connect an OTG cable (with a keyboard, mouse, ... plugged in) with your G800H. On the shell execute "dmesg" and search for lines with "OTG", "OTG DETECTED", "muic-sm5502", "muic" or "5502". If you have lines with "muic-sm5502" then at least you have the same USB-switch built-in. You can also put (parts of) the dmesg output in some pastebin and post the link here. Then I can have a quick look at it.

hello, sorry for asking, but...

i have a g800f (normal s5mini) with firmware g800fxxu1ang7, no updates since start. i have flashed this firmware and rooted with cf. but i miss the otg-option, so what to do and what are the experiences so far?

can i flash your kernel to my handy or do i have to flash first a special firmware? do i lose my settings etc. and have to set up the handy after flashing again? what if i want to go "back" for e.g. i recognize that your kernel has some side effects that i dont want do?

sorry for asking, but im not sure about flashing, actually my handy works like a charm but i want to have the otg.feature. btw...if the otg is enabled after flashing what when the handy falls in to water? at usb-connector should now be 5volt which is sure not good in water..maybe this is the cause why samsung disabled it - or was ist maybe of the android 4.4. rules (heard otg should no longer be supported)

I wonder if anybody can test one of these OTG Y-cables without this patch and see if it works.

Perhaps they've only disabled the otg power out pins. It would make sense that they'd do that since we don't have the highly convenient port flaps unlike the s5. Without the flaps, the circuits would probably just bleed to death from short circuit or something.

Well, it works on the nexus where google disabled OTG
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hennymcc:
You can try it - but it won't work. Without the patch the USB-OTG cable is detected by the kernel but the USB-host drivers are simply not loaded (because software support is deactivated).

In addition i don't know if such a cable will hurt the smartphone. I think I already used such a cable with my phone without damaging it but who knows (and you don't really need it because the phone powers the devices itself).

Hello.

You have not done a patch for OTG G800H? Do you have any plans Activities that?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hennymcc:
I worked a bit on the G800H with da_jok3r (as I do not have a G800H). But the two phones (G800F and G800H) are simply too different.

When it comes to USB OTG, this feature highly depends on the SoC (G800F: Exynos vs. G800H: Qualcomm msm8226). Even the kernel drivers for the USB switch (that needed to be fixed for the G800F) are different.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Friiiiiii:
If you do not mind, please, do workable OTG for G800H! If you want to - I can provide the necessary files from my phone.

So, if I'm correct, any waterproof phone without a waterproof flip cover for the USB port isn't capable of doing OTG out-of-the-box, right?

[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasukesama:
Its disabled not because of the waterproof but the mini series shouldn't support otg due to Samsung policy i think because my friend have the g800f and installed the kernel that supports otg (available here on xda ) we kept it in water for about 40min and nothing happened its working

the device sends voltage to the usb port only when the otg cable is plugged not always if always then the battery will die with one hour at most

Well.. problem has been solved almost it self. As I said before I was trying do hold volume UP and plug it to the computer. But phone was showing only the LG logo and that's all. Linux didn't see it either.

When every idea was used I tried to completly discharge it. When it turn off i tried to plug it in and check what happens but AGAIN I saw only LG splash screen and I left it in that way. I came back after maybe 10-15min and I found phone in Download Mode. Linux saw it and without any problem I installed fresh ROM.

Really I can't explain this but it's just happend. So my advice, try any possible solution and method.

Hello,

I'm writing this because i've tried it all and I really need to know what I can do.

So after I updated to the 4.4.4 update my phone would become hot every once in a while, I looked it up and it seemed to be a normal isssue, SO due to this I rarely used it not it started with one time when i was using it it turned off and it didnt turn back on for some time.

this happened once in a while 3 times in total. Now the last time this had happened when the phone turned back on it was taking forever and now my phonje seems to clear all the information whenever its booted up. It comes up to the welcome menu as if I had ran a factory reset, Ive tried flashing the file but as soon as I try flashing it it completes something then it resets and when it resets the bootloader becomes locked again so the process can never really finish.

Also the internal memory of my 32GB phone says its 128mb when i check.

CAn someone tell me how to fix this?
