[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I-TensE-I:
So this just started yesterday but whenever I plug in a usb to my phone weather it'd be for charging or PC it starts playing this stock sounding ringtone that I've never heard before and it doesn't stop! The only way to stop is to unplug and reboot (rebooting while plugged in doesn't do anything). Why is this happening? It just started yesterday out of the blue and I'm forced to keep my phone on mute. How do I solve this? I'm pretty sure I haven't downloaded anything or tinkered with it at all so there shouldn't be anything that changed since say 3 days ago. So what in the world is doing this!? Also I am on GOLDENEYE ROM and I feel like it's giving me lots of issues as of late so if anyone could recommend a better TW-based rom (cuz of stupid gear) for my Canadian S4 (I337m) that'd be greatly appreciated as well so I can just ditch this broken ROM and get a brand new set up going
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghost44:
Soory but i think you have to perform a Full Wipe. Install new Rom and test it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallen33:
Same thing happened to me. I have s rooted S4 but no custom rom installed. I plugged my phone into my PC and the ring tone called Over the horizon started playing and a couldn't stop it unless I rebooted my phone. I then plugged it into just a wall charger and the same thing happened again. I'm running 4.4.2 build number is i337UCUFNB1. I rooted my phone with towelroot a few months back and had no problems until today.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I-TensE-I:
Yah that's why I'm leaning towards getting a new ROM however full wipe doesn't solve the issue of why it is happening and how to fix it (other than full wipe)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghost44:
have you tried to install a stock ROM ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I-TensE-I:
What would that do? I haven't ran a stock rom since day 2 I had my s4. The problem is with the rom I currently have which is (GOLDENEYE) and it's playing Over the horizon every time I plug in a usb. I want to fix that. Not go to stock
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghost44:
Yes i know but your device have any errors. That means you must to perform a wipe data factory reset and install the newest Stock ROM XXUGNG8. After that i'm sure your Problem is solved.

If your Problem is solved after this steps you can reinstall any Custom ROM you want ;)

Do you use Gravity Box?

The update to version 3.3.2 caused this kind of issue. In this case just do the update to 3.3.3 there the bug is fixed

Yes I have Gravity Box and I did update to the newest. I did a couple of things including updating to 3.3.3 so that must of have been it because it worked. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnHi1:
It's been a super long time since I flashed a Rom. I use to use Rom Manager and do back ups there. I rooted my Galaxy S5 on Verzon. My android version is 4.4.2 and my kernel version is 3.4.0 Mon Mar 31. G900V. The stupid update is forcing me to update but I keep scheduling it for later. What Roms are safe to flash without tripping knox?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Humo0915:
Be sure to check http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development most of the threads have installation instructions and should say if they trip Knox or not
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Nothing forces to take an update and most rooted phones are probably better off to eschew updates. Any update is likely to break root unless you use something like Mobile Odin Pro or Super SU Pro that have features that try to retain or regain root for you after an update is installed.

You can accept an update OTA, but it's a lot better to install with Odin. Spend a few minutes perusing update threads (which you should have done before posting anyway) in the

Verizon

forum to get a better idea of whether the update is something beneficial to you or not.

...and/or to get it back to stock (2.3 or 2.2).

I've found a lot of links throughout XDA. But, without exception, they've all been dead links. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not interested in rooting. My phone is already rooted, S-OFF. I just want to get it back to stock so that I give it to someone else and they can activate it.

F2FS Rom and Packs converter

Convert any ROM to work F2FS (provided it is compatible ROM).

The Roms tested and approved to this version are Liquid and Carbon. Feel free to test other (the rom of your choice) and post your results so we can increase the number of proven compatible roms and other work in order to make them work.

Convert any package to install on roms F2FS.

If you already use one F2FS rom and has difficulties installing packages (ElementalX-N5-1.04-express.zip for example) just use the converter.

The differential of this script compared to others is that this does not include kernels have changed in order to make a rom work F2FS, but try to change the original kernel of the rom in order to make it work.

How to use:

Unrar the file on your PC with Windows system;

Open the folder you created and click F2FS CONVERTOR-Nexus5.bat;

Select the desired option;

Wait for the system to prompt you paste the rom or package to convert in the subfolder extract is automatically created;

Paste the file and wait, always watching the screen waiting for new prompts.

Hope it works with your ROM and you enjoy.

Neither I nor XDA are responsible for any damage to your device.

Thanks for the great work. Do you have a link to more info on f2fs and the dangers of it?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] NABENDU1:
Firstly I have been off the development of the tool due to time constraints , me getting back to ext4 and that I missed my favorite kernel which still doesnt support F2FS . Also improvments in /system folder is little compared to /data and thats also something which forced me leave it !! But im more than impressed with the progress you guys have made and now I am kind of tending to start the development on it soon !!

If you wish can I make a tool based on this similarly for my Nexus 4 !!

Have a gr8 day ahead man !!

Hi everyone,

I upgraded to LvsW's latest ROM (AKU2.3), and everything seems fine. Much much faster as promised ! However, the only problem seems to be connecting via GPRS. I have configured all of the Orange UK GPRS settings correctly, but it refuses to connect.

Is anyone else having these problems ?

Cheers,

Dan
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] djovanovi:
Yes ... same thing happened to me. There's something funky with this ROM, Orange and GPRS.

After considerable debugging, I changed to the LVSW AKU3.2 ROM and GPRS worked (except Activesync/charging did not ...) and now I'm running Jesterz AKU2.2. stripped ROM without any problems and waiting for a confirmed stable AKU3.xx version

-DJ
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] gortiz2:
Same problem but

I did the update to 2.3 and yes GPRS was not working, I waste 2 weeks doing all the configurations possibles. Same for MMS.

Then I did the upgrade to 2.3.1 and was worst as My QTEK died totally.

I re-installed the 2.3 and not idea why I did the configuration of the GPRS of this link (S100 model works too)

http://www.100pour100mobile.com/?module=fme&action=showmobile&id=441&oper=2

and voila is working. WAP GPRS. MMS GPRS. email is not working as I do not have the data operator package.

[Moto X Q&A] Icon000:
My Moto X is still on 4.4.2, and I've removed Write protection with MotoWpNoMo. Back then I had read somewhere that you would no longer be able to upgrade because of the application of MotoWpNoMo. I haven't been able to find where I read that so is that still true? Can I upgrade to 4.4.4 or even L when it is released?

Also I have notice that my battery no longer will last the full day that was boosted when the Moto was first Launched. I run apps like tasker and xposed framework. I have been trying to track down what could because my battery to lasting only half the time. What apps could I use to get a better picture of my battery situation?

I've also considered ditching the stock from and touchless controls since it seems like I use it less and less each day. I know there is a way to load Rom with safestrap bur I know nothing about it. Could someone link me to some good info about how it works and how to prevent messing up this wonderful phone?
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
The MotoWpNoMo and SlapMyMoto vulnerabilities were patched in 4.4.2, so if you updated to 4.4.2 on a locked bootloader you lost what MotoWpNoMo gave you and write protection is enabled on your phone. But you might have kept root.

The OTA's do a pre-flash verification check. Things like Xposed, patches, hacks, modifications, etc. can/will get in the way of that, preventing the update from installing.

Also, the OTAs on the X are incremental. So if you want 4.4.4, you'll have to be on 4.4.2. If you want L, you'll have to be on 4.4.4.

If you really want future updates, you have to weigh how important Rooting, even partial or temp root is. (Temp root means you have root until you power off/on your phone. It still doesn't disable write protection so you can't create files in /system and other folders, and any changes made would be lost at power off/on)

Since you can not unlock your bootloader (unless the China Middleman can come through for you, see the thread in the general section), you can't even temp root 4.4.4, and likely wont be able to L.

If rooting in the future doesn't bother you, the quickest way to get back on the OTA path, undoing any changes you might have made, is to use RSDLite and re-flash the firmware which is currently on your phone (NEVER ATTEMPT TO DOWNGRADE or use an older ROM version!! or you risk bricking your phone!)

As for battery... it could be an app, like some of the recent google or moto app updates that have come down recently. It could also be the battery in your phone degrading. There is a thread on battery life with many good tips. And you could try running your phone until it shuts off, then charging via wall charger until 30 min after it says 100% a couple of times in a row to reset the battery's "electronic battery gauge".

As for safestrap, I don't use it since I have a Dev Edition and unlocked my bootloader. There are some threads and discussions over on Rootzwiki.com BUT you will need to be rooted with write protection disabled to use SafeStrap... Since you are now on 4.4.2, you can't disable write protection, so safestrap is out.
[AT&T LG G3] GalaxyNotesTx:
I tried to like this phone , but could not... I was sick of the random reboots and overall sluggish feeling of this phone. I had Note 3 before this and what a mistake....Will get Note 4 in a few weeks.... It's been fun!!
[AT&T LG G3] 903tex:
Well good luck with the note.

I never had any issues out of my g3. Battery is great, no overheating, no random reboots, no major lagging as a matter of fact no lag at all mostly a stutter here and there in the app drawer from time to time. Been using the stock lg launcher since I got the phone and everything for me has been fluid.....

Lol then I see you made a post saying the phone was fast and no problems out of it........
[AT&T LG G3] idelgado782:
I've had my phone for over a month now and I've never had any random reboots or overheating. I use my phone a lot so battery is meh for Me. But I'm happy and I love it.

No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.
[AT&T LG G3] GalaxyNotesTx:
Lol I know it was new and I thought it was okay at the time...as time went on.. I started to have buyers remorse...with Att&t making us use Pma charging ..That was it for me...I just like Samsung better...
[AT&T LG G3] traesnaidensdad:
Just bought mine a lil over a week ago , hated to but got the carrier branded AT&T version. This is actually 2nd one. The first phone kept randomly shutting off during activation at the store. I like this phone. It has times where different points on the screen become unresponsive. Aggregating...it also seems to use much more of the ram than I would expect right out of the box. I use a tempered glass screen protector that may or not be causing my screen issues? As a LONG time HTC user, coming from the One, M7. I'm still getting used to something different. I do like it though. Thinking about rooting when I have time off because once boot loader is unlocked I think this device will be a beast!
[AT&T LG G3] mrw1986:
Had my phone over a month now and absolutely loving it. Running stock rooted, no greenify. I froze all the AT&T apps and none of the LG ones. I use the stock launcher and get well over 4+ hours of screen on time, no overheating, no reboots, etc. My fiancee has the phone as well and she's been averaging almost 6+ hrs of screen on time, however where she works has better signal. I travel all over the place for work and signal is spotty.
[AT&T LG G3] dxwilliams40:
No rebooting issues here. I will admit that my m8 outperforms the g3 (except for the camera). However, the note 3 that I received last year was a total disappointment. That was random rebooting nightmare. I guess it really depends on the specific device you get. Some may receive a subpar device.
[AT&T LG G3] Ker~Man:
Have the same issue with the screen becoming unresponsive in spots at times. I, too, have one of the tempered glass screen protectors bought from the AT&T Store. Such a coincidence, makes me wonder... :confused:
[AT&T LG G3] GorillaPimp:
That's what I just said about my Galaxy S5. Now I can make calls from my new car, have no reboot issues and have a better signal in my home. No more unlimited data but I wasn't using exorbitant amounts of it before anyway.

Note 3 or 4 wouldn't solve my issues. Samsung's bluetooth stack is broken and they know all about it.

Get in where you fit in. Good luck.
[AT&T LG G3] bolillo:
It's the screen protector i had it and i exhanged it at the store cause i was still in my 14days after i bought it, they exhanged it and i got the invisishield one that i had on a couple devices in the past, i recommend you try to exhange it if not get a cheap screen protector while you browse for a new one cause believe me you will think its the phone but it's not.
[AT&T LG G3] blacknight1114:
Thinking the same thing,but not because of problems...just slow development. Thinking of going back to note3
[AT&T LG G3] kalani91:
The phone just came out though... Maybe wait until they unlock bootloader or come out with special recovery for roms?
[AT&T LG G3] GorillaPimp:
Slow walking the bootloader unlock is gonna kill development. Seen it before. If it becomes a popular device devs will come and an unlock with it but I understand people wanting a device with options. I don't use 3rd party ROMs anymore so I don't care much.
[AT&T LG G3] 3's&7's:
Agreed. My M8 is faster too, but after a root / debloat / exposed / different launcher / no carrier IQ... not by much.

I have not experienced much lag, mainly keyboard (any) delays keeping up with typing.

I believe that we haven't seen the true potential of the g3 until this bootloader is cracked and meaningful customization is a reality.
[AT&T LG G3] kpenny:
This phone is great! No lag of any kind on my phone. It is rooted and running ART. No screen protector needed. All at&t bloat frozen. Phone is fast, battery life is very good. Better than I expected. The signal is also very good. I pick up LTE in my office at work where before I could only get 4g sometimes. Very happy with this phone as is.
[AT&T LG G3] st0nez0r:
I dunno about all that. According to development updates in the bounty thread devs working on it are confident that they can unlock it, and that it's right around the corner.

I'm all for meaningful customization.. I imagine my g3 with the latest miui on it, that would be sweet... That said, this is the first phone I've been happy with as is. Debloated, greenify, g3 tweak box and the stock rom isn't all that bad.
[AT&T LG G3] blaker13:
Phone runs awesome...to bad it's with att who just downright sucks. Plus the devs have prolly already unlocked it so they are prolly waitng to get more donations because it's become a profitable business, which I don't blame them. I would if I knew how....I just build stuff.
[AT&T LG G3] AndreaCristiano:
I have mine up for sale because of my issues with it. Had potential to be a great phone but to many buggy laggy areas
[AT&T LG G3] zounduser:
I have no idea what you're talking about! The note 3 is the best phone out right now. No reboots here at all. Ever. I had one issue on jellybean, the sleep/power button had some lag. But since I moved over to kitkat, that issue is resolved. The screen is sick! 5.7 inch, Super amoled, which is the best imo, 3gb of ram, 32gb internal storage, micro sd slot, usb 3.0. Need I say more? Lol. Now, I also love htc, is my first love. I used to hate samsung. That is until I gave the note 3 a shot. It changed my mind about samsung. And I tried the G3, but it wasn't for me. Ill stick with htc and Samsung.
[AT&T LG G3] GorillaPimp:
Cool. I hope I'm very very wrong. I know some devs have unlocks waiting but I guess I'm used to devs staying away if development on a new device isn't hot - which usually is in line with how popular a device is. I'm lost on why this is working out like this with the G3.

I'm really happy with stock too for once. I usually root, unlock, throw Nova on it and maybe go with a stock debloat deodexed or some variation of stock. I can't believe I'm good with the stock launcher ,de-carrieriq'ed + tweakbox. I'm not seeing any lag issues at all either. This thing is dusting my S5. I'm just happy that everything is working, radio being disabled and IR being hosed for 3rd party apps sucks a bit but that's minor.
[AT&T LG G3] BreakingVZW:
I've also never had issues with sluggishness or reboots. The only issue is the occasional issue of the device not detecting the aux cable properly. That seems to have all but corrected itself. Stock rooted. Using LG launcher with some xposed tweaks
[AT&T LG G3] blaker13:
I mean in terms of speed in the devs....s5 was up too 18k and took forever...as soon as you add money to something it takes longer. that's all of life....lol
