You have two options now. Assuming your phone is rooted and you can access CWM recovery.

Installing Zeam Launcher via Custom Recovery.

1. Download the Zeam Launcher (file attached - probably very old version but doesnt matter, you need some launcher to get you out of bootscreen)

2. Put it on your sd-card

3. Go to cwm recovery

4. Flash that zip

5. Reboot the system - it should work now.

6. Either update the launcher or install whatever launcher you like until you found the blinkfeed launcher for your device.

OR

Installing the HTC Blinkfeed Launcher apk or any latest Launcher via adb push method.

1. Download the HTC Blinkfeed or any other launcher apk (like ADW launcher etc) of your interest from internet

2. Go to fastboot mode

3. Connect your phone to the computer

4. Once your phone is recognized - Goto adb folder (you would have used it when you rooted your mobile)

5. Open command prompt from that location (Shift + mouse rightclick) and type the following commands

adb remount

adb push HTC BlinkFeed-com.htc.launcher-658011553-v6.1.779245.apk /system/app

adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/HTC BlinkFeed-com.htc.launcher-658011553-v6.1.779245.apk

adb reboot

6. Unplug the phone from computer and try restarting it. It should work like a charm.

You can indeed change the file name of the launcher to something shorter and use the same if you find it difficult to type the long names.

Dont forget to hit thanks, if the above tutorial helps to bring your phone back to life.

All the best.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aberen03:
Hi,

I've been having a somewhat mysterious problem with the wireless internet (Wi-Fi) signal on my SCH-1545, hopefully someone here can help me find a solution.

Details:

At rest, my wi-fi signal is weak, regardless of which network or router is producing the signal.

I use an oversized Anker 7800mAh battery, which adds a considerable amount of weight and bulk to my GS4.

I am currently running a recent snapshot release of Cyanogenmod (11-20140804-SNAPSHOT-M9-jflte). The last time I updated was few weeks ago, but my wifi issue began sometime early this week. Thus, it seems unlikely that the ROM is to blame. For what it's worth, my baseband version is 1545VRUAMDK.

Oddly, after some poking around, I've discovered that applying pressure to the back of the phone near the lock button seems to increase the quality of my wifi connection. For example, at rest right now my phone shows a 30% signal; when squeezed in the aforementioned manner, the signal jump s immediately to 55-60%.

I suspect that there may be some fault with the wifi antenna connector, or with the antenna itself.

My best theory right now is that a mishap or fall with this bulky battery installed may have delivered a shock to the phone's hardware beyond what it is designed to withstand. Consequently, it seems that the wifi system was somehow compromised. I've tried cleaning the wifi contacts as suggested here[1] .

Has anyone had this problem? Can anyone offer a solution?

I can't go on using my phone like this, and to get a replacement will be quite costly. However, if I do end up getting a replacement, I have my eyes on a LG G3 :D

Thanks for your help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SUPERSPORT25:
Have your tried doing a factory reset? I know this is a pain in the butt but maybe it will put your mind at ease. Have you dropped the phone or anything that would cause the antenna to suddenly become loose? Is your connection bouncing up and down or is it consistenly just staying low? Also before a factory reset try getting Wifi Analyzer from the app store and check to see whats going on. Just sounds rather buggy that it suddenly started happening.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] T.Treez:
Same thing been happening to mine just recently. Seems like when I squeeze the battery cover the wifi signal is stronger for a limited amount of time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FordNate:
If you squeeze your phone and it affects signals take off battery cover and try tightning all the little screws around the phone with the battery out.. might help just saying
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aberen03:
Thanks for your suggestions folks, but I still seem to be in a pickle.

I tried a factory reset, didn't seem to help according to Wifi Analyzer (thanks for the app suggestion). As I said in my original post, I fear that drop may have caused this problem: since I use a heavy extended battery, I expect the damage caused by any fall would be magnified.

I attempted this as well - I removed the back cover and ensured all the ribbon cables and antenna cables were making a firm connection, and then I tightened all the cover screws. Nothing seems to have helped. Concurrent with my previous statement, I fear one of the modules (specifically the wifi/bluetooth SIC) on the motherboard may have become slightly dislodged from a random fall.

Does anyone know of a way I can test this theory or get it fixed if such is the case?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lanceamatic1:
i'm in the same boat, my phone is exeriencing the exact same issue. I've got a new back plate on order, hopefully replacing that and the wifi/bluetooth antenna will resolve it.

have you had any success since this post?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeweller_by:
I just bought external ethernet network card Edimax EU-4306. It is USB 3.0, 1GBit - so it's a very nice piece of hardware, and excellent accessory for my SM-N9005. This card is based on ASIX AX88179 chipset, and there are Android drivers for this chipset from the manufacturer, but the drivers are not included into firmware of my phone, so the device doesn't work.

My Galaxy Note 3 is rooted, runs Omega ROM v21, so I decided to compile the drivers myself. I downloaded Omega Kernel sources, and found, that there is no kernel modules support in the kernel by default. I recompiled the kernel with kernel modules support enabled, next compiled the drivers (no any problems during compilation), repacked original Omega's boot.img adding modified kernel, but due to unknown reason my phone doesn't boot.

I wanted to contact Omega ROM developers asking them adding the drivers into next release of Omega ROM, but due to absence of 10 posts on the forum I can't do that.

Can anyone please contact Omega developers for me or direct me to a good guide for installing cusom zImage kernels?

The answer was easy: Android Image Kitchen v1.6 for Linux from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2073775

Using this tool I rebuilt original boot.img and flushed my new kernel with modules support. Next, I built the device drivers. My device is now working ok!

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arnele:
Hi. I have a Samsung Galaxy 5s SM-900S. I discovered after buying it that it is a clone. Oh well!

I rooted it using Root Genius (Chinese) from Shuame download.

It was working great. Then I deleted some bloatware apps, and disabled others.

After that, all hell broke loose. I was stuck in a flash screen boot loop.

A techie friend put the phone in download mode, and it was able to open up, but no home page.

Then he downloaded Nova launcher, and I got my home page back.

But it was a slightly different home page.

The phone originally said 900T (under- about device), but I know it is G900S (from 3 apps that display the phone specs).

Now it says G900.

The problems now are:

1. my phone dialer disappeared. I downloaded another, but it wont ring when a call comes in

2. Every few minutes when doing anything, I get a message- Unfortunately, the process android process.acore has stopped.

I then must press the ok button to continue.

Can anyone help me? Do I need to flash a new ROM?

I don't wantto reset to factory settings if I can avoid it.

I am a newbie. But I learn fast.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I'm just going to let you know right now... You're not going to get support in an official device thread for a clone.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
I`m sorry you got scammed mate, try to get your money back or file a police report for fraude if the device was advertised as a genuine Galaxy S5.

There is no support for this (also not by the manufacturer) device and even finding a working rom wil be very difficult.

Good luck and hope you learn from this, if it sounds to be too good to be true, it usualy is ;)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbeebe24:
Sad to say, but he's pretty much out of luck. Scammers know they're selling a phone that's not genuine, so chances of getting money back are slim to none. Police also don't care. If you bought it with cash just take this as a life lesson, because there's pretty much nothing else you can do.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xshadowinxbc:
These are the two setups I have used thus far (besides full stock), and this issue has occurred on both:

http://imgur.com/EgzxWFI

http://imgur.com/FZWrdwZ

The first is on ktoonsez kernel on stock rom. The second is Slimroms Kitkat. I have been using the first much longer than the second (which I moved over to just a few weeks ago).

Basically this soft reset tends to happen when I'm driving and using the GPS most often (and I notice that's also when the phone is usually the warmest). What happens is the phone just freezes up and sits there for a bit before finally doing a vibration and starting back up to the unlock screen. Kind of like I was restarting, but not quite. If it happened in the middle of calls, somehow it would keep the call going (at least on the stock kernel, I'm not sure about the new one yet). The other person just wouldn't hear what I was saying during the "soft reset"

On the stock kernel it used to happen even when not using the GPS. It was infrequent, but occurred I would say usually when I was using the phone more heavily... mostly just random though. Sometimes it would also not happen while using the GPS. That is to say it's a sporadic issue.

On this new Kitkat kernel it happened while I was navigating recently, but has not occurred when during any other operations (yet) that I can think of. Considering that was one of the first times I tried navigating with the kernel this worries me.

Does anyone know how I could approach this problem? Perhaps some logging I could do to get to the root issue? Some firmware I should perhaps try out?

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Sounds hardware related to me. Especially if its happening on different roms.

Then again... I just looked at you image and you are still running 4.0.4 on one. But the other you are running 4.4.4. On one or tge other you most likely have a rather large gap between your firmware build and the rom. Id try flashing full stock firmware with Odin and test for a day or two. Up to you what build you want to use, but if it were me id update to 4.3. If you go to 4.3, keep in mind there is no going back.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] chanty:
It is not necessary to enter the no manually. You can select them from the Contacts or the phone log history. And it supports wildcards * and ?

It has a feature that I think is better than other products is that it filters Outlook's categories. So that I can put unwanted callers to a special category and let it block them.

It has never failed during my trial period.

Sprint couldn't figure it out. Ordered a "regular" Nexus 5 off the Google Play store. After a chat session and talk with a supervisor a UICC card is being overnighted. Last chance for Sprint.

Customer reps have been very helpful but don't seem to have the information needed to complete a customer service issue.

If newest model is for users to bring a phone then they should be able to help. 15 years with Sprint may be too long.

Hello guys,

For some days I'm trying to convert a double from any base to another ( tipically 2, 10 or 16), but with no luck. I thought it will be easy to find a library or some kind of an api.

I only could find convert Integer valueas or BigInteger but they had no fractional part so it is pointless. Unfortunately the Double class or the BigDecimal does not have the base convertion.

I have thought about dividing 2 numbers in that particular base, but again the BigDecimal does not have this feature like BigInteger does.

Wich is the apropiate way to this as I'm thinking about it for a couple of days and manually I'm losing way too much precision (or I implemented it poorly)?

Can you please teach me how to do this?

Thank you!

You can try that or try to unfreeze HTC Blinkfeed. I believe is tied to the launcher so you would have to change launchers to remove it. If you are stock, you could try a factory reset/phone reset but make sure you save all of your data off of the phone.

[General Questions and Answers] yc363:
Hi,

I was changing my PIN on my Samsung Note 3. After putting in the current PIN and then putting in the new PIN. I was prompted to confirm the PIN. The "settings app" was then forced closed. I returned to the PIN change setting but my current PIN nor the new PIN that I was trying to change to worked. I then restarted my phone and I'm completely locked out.

If the PIN was not changed due to the force close of 'settings' shouldn't the PIN be unchanged? I tried all PINs I've used in the past as well as 1111,0000,1234, last 4 digits of phone number, SSN... everything but still doesn't work.

Any suggestions? I don't want to factory reset the phone. Please help! Please!

------UPDATE-------

I found that using Google's Android Device Manager I can remotely change the PIN. I can see from the website and also on the phone that the password is changing. If I change from a numberic PIN to a text password, the password input keypad changes from number only to a full keyboard. So, i'm sure that the password was changed remotely. However, the temporary password that I recent using Android Device Manager still doesn't work!!!! Can anyone help?

Because I have rules setup on the server, the stock Android implementation (and LG's) really aren't enough for me.

Beyond that, the only Android device I've had that does this is the M8. I wish more would jump on the bandwagon. :(
