I have a rooted verizon galaxy s4 and because of some problems (rebooting randomly) I decided to factory reset the phone. So I went to settings, accounts, and reset the phone but now its stuck at this screen with a green android bot and below says Downloading... Do not turn off target!!

Its this screen for like 30 minutes now... What should I do???

Thank you so much

Hopefully, all is well....the download is 1.5 gb so depending on your location and speeds, it will take awhile.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sizzlechest:
At $84, I'm tempted to buy one, but only if 1080p playback works flawlessly. Have the bugs finally been worked out?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Googer:
It depends on the codec within it. With XBMC or SPMC, I've found my Blu-Ray rips all technically play of course, but those whose video are encoded in VC-1 don't have hardware decoding and thus don't play smoothly. Those using MPEG-2 or H.264 play perfectly. To get around that, I transcoded such BR's to H.264 at a rather high quality (and kept the originals around for if / when VC-1 hardware decoding ever gets going).

On the audio side, I have pass-through enabled along with Dolby Digital encoding enabled for XBMC's audio transcode (that second part is necessary so something like 5.1 PCM, FLAC, Dolby True HD, or DTS Master audio can reach my receiver in 5.1, since Android devices currently can't pass full-bandwidth surround audio). Hope this helps you in making your decision. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninja Happy Squid:
Hi all, I've heard this is a helpful community and I've found nothing anywhere else so I thought I'd ask here.

I want to block my phone's access to a website, for productivity reasons. I find myself at work constantly opening a tab to a stupid "funny things on the internet" sites and scrolling through it when I should be paying attention or being productive. On my computer I activated a helpful chrome extension that denied access to specific sites and it works wonderfully, but I can find no such thing for my phone. All I can find is "explicit content" filters as well as an ad-block ap, "Block it!" that I was able to jerry-rig in to blocking the site, but it often caused other problems, like denying any internet access whatsoever.

So is there any other method to just block a single website? A friend mentioned doing something with IP addresses? I'm willing to try pretty much anything, and will root my phone if that is necessary (I've been looking for an excuse to do that anyways!)

Thanks much!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broken920:
You can download "hosts editor" from play store.

You can block site by adding a new entry:

- IP address: 127.0.0.1

- hosts: addresses of sites that you would block divided by semicolon

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ColdSunNC:
Hello,

I'm using stock Sony software/ROM on my Tablet Z. When I use Spotify or Google Play Music the music skips and distorts. Does anyone else have this problem? Any idea how or if it can be fixed? It really ruins the experience of music for me. Do custom ROMs for this device have the same issue? Are there any ROMs that for sure don't have it if so?

Really appreciate any help on this folks.

Hey,

Nope, haven't had this issue, but it sounds to me like a network issue, of which the xtz has many. Does the same issue apply to locally stored music/video? What about streaming video, like you tube? As a possible solution, try changing the WiFi frequency to 5ghz (if available) and the router to channel 9. I moved from rooted stock to custom rom due to WiFi issues.

heya, I noticed a whole lot of useless programs that I dont use from the ext. rom that ships with the cingular 8525..

I know from my previous phones I'm able to hardboot and when that message comes up.. something like "installing custom components in 3 seconds.." one would do a softreset and that installation shouldnt come up again right?

well I was wondering what cab files were needed so I can install only the needed ones.. ie mms/wifi setup files, etc.

Anyone know? Thanks!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] perlmane:
I upgraded from a TyTN to the Cingular ROM

I did the reboot thing so that I did not get the "value-add" stuff from Cingular after I let it do its normal thing. What I found out was that if I did not do the reboot thing, the "value-add" stuff from Cingular changed the keyboard mapping so that I could not figure out what keys the special characters were on. When I hard setup again, I rebooted and the keyboard works great. The only thing is, you have to put in all the information in the connection menu.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] spastico:
There's 2 times that the 3 sec screen pops up.

Does the keymapping work correctly if you let the first one run and do the reset before the second one?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] spastico:
Well I just tried my suggestion above and everything works great.

I let the first install run, and then just after the second 3 sec. pop-up window, I reset.

Then I used Total Commander to install everything but GetGood, ExpressMail, MobileTV, and TelNav.

I ended up with more user memory.

Not all Z mod can be used on ZL. That can highly result a bootloop ;)

I would suggest to update to 4.3. For me it was the most stable and battery friendly version on my ZL. 4.4.2 is good, but I feel that battery life is a bit worse, and there is some minor lag in settings menu. It's said that this will be fixed in 4.4.4, which will get rolled out soon (at least we all hope...).

I deceided to buy the zl cause of the camera button, remote control and because it's smaller.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdogg44:
I've had an AT&T Note 3 since January. The phone is great but since the update to 4.4.2 I have been experience horrendous battery life, to the point that I'm having to charge it throughout the day.

I work construction and use my phone for several hours per day, resulting in 2-3 hours of voice calls and 2-3 hours of screen time. My last Note 2 and the current Note 3 used to be able to handle my workload while being unplugged from 7AM to 10PM at night.

If I was to root my phone, could I gain back my battery life? I have never had the need for my phone to be anything other than stock but I am desperate at this point.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitrous²:
Rooting your phone will not result in having better battery life. What you can do is detect apps that keep your phone awake. Another method is to flash a custom kernel with lower voltage or one on which you can undervolt yourself. Be aware that by rooting and/or flashing custom recoverys/kernels or firmwares you'll trigger the Knox counter. This will void your warranty. There is no way to revert it.

Please use the Q&A section next time you have a question. Hope I could help you a little.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdogg44:
I appreciate the reply. I was hoping that rooting would allow the phone to run off of custom firmware and not have the horrible battery drain many Note 3 users are experiencing after the 4.4.2 update.

I have installed GSam Battery Monitor for over a month and been monitoring it daily. I'm consistently seeing Android System and Kernel (Android OS) using 40% of my daily battery life and Media using another 15%-25%. Other than that I've been unable to determine much else. I do not play games or Facebook, I just talk and text all day.

Is the warranty on the phone one year? If so, I'm 2/3 through it and would be willing to void it for better battery life.

I have looked through all I could find before posting, but honestly am somewhat overwhelmed by all the information on XDA. This is magnified by the fact that there are many versions of the Note 3 and different carriers.

I have a N900A Note 3 and am looking to get my all day battery life back and appreciate the help.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitrous²:
Don't worry, it's normal to suffer infoglut the first time looking through xda. You'll get used to it =)

So you have the AT&T version of the Note III aka hlteatt or SM-N900A. You're device has a Qualcomm chip built in like most of the Note III variants out there. There's also a Note III variant which has an Exynos chip built in but I think you won't confuse Exynos firmwares with those dedicated for Qualcomm variants. The ROM threads ususally have pretty good descriptions about that. AFAIK most custom ROMs are compatible with any Qualcomm variant. E.G. any AOSP/CM ROM for the Qualcomm Note III has a unified build carried by the name "hlte". Meaning, that as long as you don't flash an image meant for the Exynos variant, you should be good.

40% for Android-System and Kernel isn't normal at all. I also use GSam Battery Monitor. Android-System and Kernel only use about 19% of the battery on my phone. Something that helped me when I had the exact same issue was to switch locating method from high accuracy to power saving. You can find this setting by long-pressing the GPS icon in the notification drawer. The location settings menue will pop up. Under "Mode" you can change to "Power saving". I'd be happy if you could report if it did work for you.

You're welcome =) Just hit the thanks button.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pete4k:
If I may add my own comments here:

1. you should go to note 3 ATT forum and there find proper method to root your phone, we have towelroot program that can root phone very easily without breaking knox warranty, albeit I don't know if it works on your version, it worked perfectly on mine (t-mo)

2. While it is true that root by itself won't do anything about your battery usage, many programs that really help need root

For example greenify, titanium backup or android assistant require root to disable many useless (useless for you that is) programs that drain your battery

3. I totally disagree with Nitrous that GPS is the culprit for high battery usage. It is my experience that GPS all by itself does not work at all unless the location info is requested by some other programs. Google maps for example only run GPS when screen is on, when screen is off, GPS is off also. However some badly behaving programs can keep requesting location even in the middle of night, but IMO those programs are the problem, not GPS itself. I have GPS, BT and WiFi on 24/7 and with light use my phone could last 4-5 days. If GPS was draining battery as many people think, phone would never last that long.

What you should do is go to ATT forum and find towelroot method, root your phone and freeze, or disable apps you don't use. For example I don't use Bloomberg, Yahoo, Facebook, Hangouts, indexing etc (your list may be different, since different provider) so I have them frozen (won't start up) . If I ever change my mind, I can unfreeze them later.

You can also run programs to tell you which apps use most battery, or wake the phone from sleep and then decide if you need them or not.

BTW sometimes full reset and cache clear can fix some of the problems, so maybe that should be the first step.

Once you find which program /s cause problems your phone should last whole day. I could easily get 6 or more screen hours on my Note3, unless playing some intensive games, so should you and it just took couple hours to identify and disable all the bloat and there is a lot.

I also experienced increase in battery usage after updating to KK, but I have not found a time to look over the bloat and redo my program freezing efforts yet.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitrous²:
I know that GPS doesn't drain battery that much. But trust me, it is very likely to cause that type of behavior. I'm in this forums since a couple of years. In most cases, when Android-system and Kernel drain unusual amounts of battery it was location services that was causing it. But not because they were using GPS, but because they kept the device awake the whole time. And there you see my point of switching locating methods. In 90% of the scenarios where people described this kind of behavior of their devices, this solved the problem. But you're right in saying that it's not a permanent solution. I agree to your first two points.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uf21:
I always have GPS off and only turn it on when I need it though Android still has the higher or second highest battery usage.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pete4k:
Just to give quick update, after I wrote my comments here, I fully charged my phone and went to sleep. In the morning battery was down to 80% and that finally prompted me to action. I freezed some apps, cleared cache and did some "housekeeping". I don't know what did the trick, but this time overnight my phone went from 100 to 98%, 10 times better than a night before. Now, after 18 hours of some light use like few calls, couple games, light internet use etc it is still at 80%, so it's pretty much back to what I had before update. I wish I wrote down what I did to track particular culprit in my case, but it is amazing how couple bad apps can ruin battery life, but at the same time killing them turns things around so much. All in all, out of some 340 apps and services on my phone, only 21 are frozen and about 30 are stopped from starting at boot up, but are able to start later if needed.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Skyllery:
Upgrade with or without Simcard change nothing. But maybe removing it during the upgrade ..

If you have no network with Simcard after upgrade it's very strange are you sure the sim card is well inserted?

If the simcard is well inserted but still nothing put your sim card in an other phone (if you can) maybe the sim card is desactivated (by the operator)

If it work in an other phone do the upgrade a second time but manually the instructions are easy to find and depend of the version.

Download the Rom on XDA or here

put update.app into you sdcard\dload sometimes you need to rename it update.zip

and settings > More information > Upgrade > Local update

Or follow this View attachment 2915857 into the .zip is the official instruction go to "Force Upgrade"

P.S. when your phone is upgrading don't touch it even if you forgot to backup something it's too late. You can break it.

Good Luck

I bought a black dual port MediaBridge 2.4 and 1.0 amp charger. Does not charge above .5 amps. Learned, need white one, for Android that has data wires shorted, bought one. It also doesn't charge over .5 amps (even though tablet roughly 25% charged). Using short white charging cable that came with tablet. Did lots of amp, volt, ohm testing to find lightning bolt doesn't get displayed on the tab, even though plugged into the 2.4 amp port. Called MediaBridge, they say "some android tabs are incompatible", but didn't list 2014 as one of them.

Found MB has shorted data wires, just like the Sammy wall charger. See 5.11 volts dc going into tablet (get 5.36 in wall charger, but think 5.11 is not a problem). Got a short microUSB extension cable, dug out the red wire, cut it. Placed amp meter inline so I can measure amps going thru cable. With MB, I see around .45 amps, with Sammy wall charger, I see about 1.35 amps and of course lightning bolt is displayed. Tried another cheapy coiled 12 volt charger to find .45 amps flowing and displays the lightning bolt (charges the battery, though very slowly).

I prefer not returning this charger and would like to try to get it working. Does anyone else have a MediaBridge that works? Does anyone know of other things I can try to make this charge around 2 amps?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] SallyChen:
Data wires is very important for any charging process . Some Chinese cottage small factories, manufacturing low-quality data lines, using a very thin copper as cables which can flow a limited current. Of course, there are high quality factories in china, such as Foxconn.

I had until recently a 1*2/2*1A charger with an output of 4.9x V,using a cable with the "wrong" wiring, no problem. I think Samsung needs an Apple compatible charger, all mine are, at least for the 2A mode, but there should be a standard 900mA fallback option as well, or even standard 1,5 A, but I never tried a 1A charger to prove that.

There are usb compatibility adapters for Apple devices,that fit between charger and cable, on the usb side, of course.

I have most probably been lucky in the past because it has cost nowt to root my smartphones, tablets etc?
