[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I.P:
Hi,

I'd like to know what you think of what happened to my Nexus 5 and Galaxy S Advance last week.

My car usb charger died and I bought a new one rated 2.1 Amps for 10 Eur. On the Nexus 5 fast charge was enabled, on the S Advance I had no such thing. I used several USB cables with this charger for several days as I was driving a lot.

Once back home I could not get any USB data transfer on both phones, of course I disabled fast charge on the Nexus, furthermore the S advance is now very difficult to charge switching all the time between charging/on battery.

I've tried 4 PC, 4 operating systems (XP, 7, 8, latest ubuntu) and 4 different cables, under linux lsusb shows me absolutely nothing even if both phones are in download mode so I'm afraid the USB ports on both phones are broken.

Do you have any idea on how this could have happened ?

P.S: I've tried all known tricks on both phones to get USB data transfer back with no luck.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Sounds like cheap charged ruined your phone. Perhaps send one on for a technician to assess. There's nothing we can help with if you've tried different cables and computers
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Venomous Viper 119:
I don't know if USB file transfer will be possible but you can surely use a wireless charger to charge your nexus 5. Take your phones to the service centres. Sometimes if there's an electric shot at the port, it mightn't work. They might fix it if this is the case. If this isn't the case & if you've damaged the USB port, I'm afraid there's nothing you can do but change the entire motherboard to get it working.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I.P:
Thanks, I'm aware that most probably my phones are broken, but I was wondering how a charger could do that ? Do you think it does not regulate to 5V but sends a weird voltage like 6.something ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Venomous Viper 119:
May be.. Poor quality chargers are bad at voltage regulation. You should have used a good quality charger for your costly phones. We learn from mistakes, but be careful the next time. I hope your problem will be resolved.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I.P:
Well it was not the cheapest one, I was in a hurry, stopped at the nearest computer shop and took this one. Btw Google sends me a new phone so everything is OK, but if I were not 600km away from this shop I would go back there and have a men to men talk with the manager...
[General Questions and Answers] tech96:
I have a rooted Lava Iris 455 Android 4.1 stock ROM.Today,I actually did not install any applications actually which makes the problem even more disturbing.From the morning,the device seemed to lag quite a bit so I have rebooted it 2 to 3 times successfully.

Then I downloaded a movie and when I was watching it with BS player I was having lagging issues again.The video was stuttering.So once again I powered off the device.But now,it is just stuck at the boot logo and won't go beyond the IRIS logo.

Please help.Although I am under warranty,I have rooted it(towelroot).so the manufacturer would probably realise that I guess and charge me,right?What could possibly be the problem?

I had frozen the stock launcher and my aviate launcher is in SD card.Can that be the reason?
[General Questions and Answers] GreatApo:
Since you don't know where the problem is, you could flash a new rom... btw you will lose all your phone data.

If you have a bakup you can always restore... or if you have a recovery you can try a factory reset (this will also delete your phone data)

Does anybody know how to increase volume on a rooted sm-t230 by editing the audio config files ?
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tecfan69:
Nobody came across wih that ?

I read lots of volume stuff but KitKat has different audio files with much more parameters. I didn't find a single thread.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 404-Not Found:
Have you tried an Equalizer? You can make sounds go higher and louder but ofc if you dont do it right you will lose quality

Sent from my Nokia Lumia 1520
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tecfan69:
Thanks for taking care of that. I tried a couple of f** apps but none of them make sound louder. On tab4 the sound is excellent even by using aptx. I don't want to use an app but just editing the audio files in order to keep that quality.

If you can explain how to do this in details I'd be very very happy.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scihte:
Normally the sound files can be found in system/etc/

Take a look there. Just be careful not to change the values to dramatically or you'll blow your speakers ;)
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 404-Not Found:
I am not sure how well can you do it globally, but Music apps has a buit in equalizer and you can really get a kick out of the sound. Other Music do the same like Spotify. I recommend you check out Noozoxide Pro, its can really make a HUGE impact on the sound it becomes clear if you use Professional headphones.

Sent from my Nokia Lumia 1520
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tecfan69:
Thank you. have you tried Noozoxide on tab4? I can't hear any difference wthout an amplifier connected.

with standard player you can set an equalizer and it really sounds louder but mp3 are different in regard to loudness.

I'm wondering that none of the professionals here have a simple solution for such a trivial "issue"...
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 404-Not Found:
Yeah I tried Noozxoide, but are you trying to improve the loudness of the built in speaker? If you're you won't really hear a difference with almost any equalizer in terms of loudness. It works really on headphones though, specially Professional and also external speakers.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tecfan69:
Thank you sonnybunny,

i don't think this file is on my device.

In system/etc are lots of files starting with audio_. I look into audio_gain_control.xml. I guess there's the bit but don't know which one.

Please giude me through......
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BookCase:
This file doesn't exist for me either on SM-T230NU
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tecfan69:
i read that you can do it like this with jelly Bean but with KitKat not.

In the audio_gain_conig.xml the tags are different. looks like

<audio path identifier=blabla component=ELBA>

<Gain name="MICPGA1_GAIN[4:0]">

<value volume=100>0x14>/volume>

for example.

see that there's also a hex value included and make it not that easy.

4 example:

<Value index="15">120</Value> = DEFAULT

change to - - - > <Value index="15">150</Value>

150 is pretty loud on my sennsheiser earphones and the speakers of tab 4 can also do this value... Till now i tried no higher setting, caus its enough for me and i guess that the speakers of this tablet aren't made for much more... so be careful ;)

I'm trying to get an app to work and have to write a path for the external sd card, can I just use /storage/external_SD ?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @SidDev:
try this.

use this it might help

You can get the path of sdcard from this

code:

String path = Environment.

getExternalStorageDirectory

().getAbsolutePath();

Then specify the foldername and file

name.

if you are using an emulator, double-check

to make sure that you have filled in a

value for the SD Card size.

for kk permission is changed I hope you know.

I can provide code for it also.

for kk-

Your app can not read shared files on the external

storage when running on Android 4.4, unless your app

has the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission. That

is, files within the directory returned by

getExternalStoragePublicDirectory() are no

longer accessible without the permission. However, if

you need to access only your app-specific directories,

provided by getExternalFilesDir() , then you do

not need the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Im planning to reflash my phone back to stock as a few things are messed up, will be flashing via odin the base firmware is UEND6 and will reflash the same firmware so that I can still root w/o tripping knox, would reflashing via Odin clear user data?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @SidDev:
i guess not

I guess just flashing the firmware won't wipe the data.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AO7:
I flashed stock over a CM install and forgot to wipe data. My stuff was still there but the install was definitely a little bit unstable with background apps crashing. It didn't wipe data, but the phone needed a data wipe afterwards to be usable...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
I kinda need to get my data back before wiping, I installed 3 new xposed modules and I am not 100% sure which of the 3 is causing the issue, Im stuck at the Samsung logo.

EDIT:

Im wondering if factory reset would delete camera photos stored on the internal memory, if not I have most of my impt stuff backed up online.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AO7:
Install TWRP recovery (will trip knox) and make a TWRP backup of the entire phone including data partition. Once inside TWRP recovery you can also mount /data and adb pull whatever data you need from it, including the backup. Not sure what to do if you need to access embedded app data that you can not pull through adb.

When I flashed stock without wiping data my files were still there though.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
My data is not that important to trip knox :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AO7:
In that case I would just flash stock and see what happens,
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
Still waiting for the download to complete. Samfirmware is only giving me 300kb/s and I dont know where else to get stock firmwares.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
To close this issue with a resolved status, I would like to say one thing.

If you flash a leaked firmware - it will wipe your phone.

If you flash a stock firmware - it will NOT wipe your phone.

Factory reset will not wipe your internal SD.

Installing TWRP or anything unofficial will trip your KNOX. If your data is worth losing warranty - go for it ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
I was with a UEND6 firmware and just gonna flash the same to get my data back and factory reset the phone.

EDIT:

Got my data, everything seems to be perfectly working aside from the task manger, Gonna factory reset the phone and probably reflash with odin to have a clean start, would ticking repartition be necessary for a fresh install ? ( but I remember that required a PIT file )
[Lenovo P780] alap1983:
There Are Many Fine Developers Out Here That Have perfected the art of installing CWM / TWRP & Rooting.

I am merely collating the knowledge here for: Lenovo P780 8GB ROW 221 (Kit Kat Update Applied)

Please Note Once Again: I updated the P780 to Kit Kat WITHOUT Rooting And TWRP / CWM Installed

The Kit Kat Update is Great & as mentioned here, the update ONLY Works On Original Recovery. Hence Someone PLEASE Share Original Recovery For Lenovo P780 8GB Kit Kat For Future Updates :fingers-crossed:

Now Getting Back To Rooting & Installing Recovery

Steps:

Download ALL Prerequisites From HERE

You will end up having:

SP Flash Tool

TWRP Recovery

Scatter File

Superuser.zip

Copy SuperUser And TWRP To The Micro SD Card or External Storage of the Phone.

However, instead of: Installing TWRP-> Rooting By Flashing SuperUser.......... I followed another widely known & simple Technique: MobileUncle Tools.

**********************************************************************************************

PLEASE Ensure You Install ALL Drivers Correctly. Especially The Preloader Driver

This LINK Contains the Preloader Driver. But Following is The Correct Procedure:

Switch Off Phone

Remove Battery Door.

You will see a very small RED button near the Micro SD Card slot. Press it for two seconds.

Now connect the phone & your Windows PC will report Unable to install Driver.

Go To Device Manager & Select The one Question Mark Preloader & Go to update driver manually & select the driver downloaded.

Your Preloader Driver Should Install correctly. DO NOT PROCEED unless your Preloader Driver is installed correctly.

*****************************************************************************************************************

As you must have guessed, MobileUncle Tools Require Root Access, So I went for Rooting First.

Used Geno Or Root Genius: LINK

Download the EXE & run. It will update itself & English Interface will begin. There is a single button: ROOT. Press It

A couple Prompts on your Phone will appear, Accept them & your Phone Will Now Get Rooted

After Rooting Install MobileUncle Tools from Play Store

Run It, Grant Root Privileges & Select 'Recovery Update'

Now Select The TOPMOST Recovery.img (This Recovery is TWRP Recovery Stored Locally)

MobileUncle Tools Should Install TWRP Recovery And Then Ask You To Boot Into Recovery. Do So to confirm
