[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwarfer66:
USB mass storage option is missing in all Samsung android smartphones running android 4.0 ICS or later.In these smartphones we have only one option and that is MTP. MTP stands for Media Transfer Protocol and works similarly like USB mass storage but it can't compete with it because the data migration speed is very slow.

But there is an other trick by which you can enable USB mass storage mode on Samsung galaxy S4 by using an app called SG USB Mass Storage Enabler.This app is specially designed for Samsung galaxy series to enable their mass storage mode.

So no later versions have it, but you can always go with a fast sd card.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mortalll:
Does the SG USB mass storage enabler work on your device because it doesnt work for me..maybe I should try another pc another windows..

any tips for fix this problem?? ..busybox installed..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwarfer66:
I dont use that proggy, I just plug my phone into the pc and open the sd card from there and transfer files.
[Firefox OS Q&A] alejandrogarodrig:
I have a ZTE Open C, Firefox and Android 4.2.2 O (KitKat) OS say me that my IMEI number is 0, the simcard is recognized because the phone shows me the operator's name (Movistar in Venezuela in my case) but I can't make calls, when I try it the operative system shows me a message that says I'm not connected to any mobile network. I'm not sure why this happened, it is possible that it was because of an update I did in Firefox OS or because I rooted my phone in Android, someone here knows any method to restore my IMEI ?, please help to restore my IMEI and use the phone, because is completely new. I apologize for my bad english, I am using a translator. Thank you.

Long awaited update

This is the update for all you cpufreq freqs (get it?), the purpose of this update was to revamp CPU Control to allow controlling of each individual core's settings, as oppose to all using one setting allowing for more discretion on your device's performance. (assuming your kernel has my patch, or something similar). One of the few (if not only) apps that can do this, when paired with a compatible kernel.

Installed 1.5 update on Two separate SkyRockets " Mine & The Wifey's "

Both Rockets Running identical builds of the latest 8.6.1 SlimKat with its default non-OC kernel

all settings stick on reboot except for the scheduler "SIO-Saved"

always returns to default "CFQ"

I can supply K-message if REQ.

Otherwise its lovely Going to try your Latest Kernel For the SkyRocket Next

Any Chance you have or can fix wifi-direct for SkyRocket? "I've seen mentioned that it's broke in all 4.4+ Kernels"

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navpal:
My microphone on my S5 is not working. When I make a call I can hear the person but they can not hear me I also tried recording my voice and it didn't work, so clearly I am assuming the microphone is broken. What part do I specifically need in order to replace the microphone and have it working?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Sounds like you didn't do a search and read the existing threads on this subject. Your assumption that the mic isn't working may not be correct. You should at least try turning off the noise cancelling settings first, speaking closer to the mic, et cetera. There is also a service menu setting for microphone gain. Failing all of those items, then a warranty claim or buying the part yourself, if out of warranty.

All of these are elaborated in more detail in existing threads.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navpal:
I have tried everything you have said before. If I could possibly know what specific part that is faulty so I can replace it because the warranty is expired
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
It would have been helpful if you had bothered to tell us up front that you had done so.

The primary microphone is part of the charging port assembly.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navpal:
Ok so replacing that part should fix the problem?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pr1vate piles:
I was having mic problems. Remembered a friend having issues on his S3, he used a needle to clean rubbish out of the hole on bottom of the phone. So i did the same, very thin needle only pushed in a small amount, pulled a load of fluff out. Problem solved. Two mics on s5, bottom is for using phone normally, top is for when you use in speaker mode.

Might be worth a try.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chaitanyapatel8880:
Is your phone rooted?

If yes than are you using custom kernel?

If Yes than which kernel?

Sometimes it is due to kernel.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sina_samand2002:
Such problems are more s 5 s

This is probably due to the waterproof cover
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dovedescent7:
I have a rooted stock G 900 a mic doesn't work but speaker does. left touch button doesn't work or light up. the device is still under warranty so we sent it back to Samsung and they wanted almost $200 to fix it whereas I am going to pay $10 for that whole board and microphone I'm fix it myself I am hoping that this will fix the problems. I am 99% sure it is because of some water damage. just a small amount of water I believe got in the charger port. check out what. I will update on this too with results. maybe a video. I have replaced glass and motherboards on many s5 but this is a really advanced repair
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ufotrekker:
Seems like my S5 is doing the same thing. It started doing this just in the last few weeks, and I haven't figured out how to address the problem.

I am having the same issue as navpal above

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this frustrating problem?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wga22:
I also would appreciate if solution were posted. HEre are things I have tried with no success.

I cannot even slightly be heard on other line, except when in speakerphone mode. I can hear myself on my side, so I know that the sound is being recorded by at least one microphone.

tried:

clearing system cache

factory reset

clearing out microphone with pin
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diretouch:
Hi there.

I have (not mine) Samsung S5 in my hands

Have tried:

Safe mode

battery out of the device and back on method

cannot do factory reset - still don`t want to disturb the client about that

Can you give me picture only of the MIC,not the whole board and others?

Maybe i can try clean it.

If i try to replace the old one will that be enough for me - i attach one photo ?

How is that done at all? :)

Thanks in advance

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcosnanny:
Hey Guys,

Im having the same issue. My phone went underwater without the USB flap cover and now the microphone does not work.

Should I replace all USB board? or replacing only the microphone piece would solve the problem?

Also, I wasn`t able to find more threats about it, if you guys have it, please help posting here the link.

Thx

You're about a smartass aren't you
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EngineerGuy:
This is an old thread, but I wanted to share my solution to this. My mic audio was very weak in speakerphone mode on Galaxy S5, but was OK in normal phone mode. The S5 has 2 microphones: bottom one is for normal mode, only top one is used in speakerphone mode. On mine the top mic hole was internally plugged with some debris. After cleaning it out by carefully inserting a broken-in-half toothpick (the blunt end) and twirling it while holding phone upside down to allow dirt to fall out, my speakerphone mic audio problem has been solved. If your mic audio is OK in speakerphone but weak in normal mode, it could be the mic hole along the bottom edge that needs cleaning. Using Voice Recorder in INTERVIEWEE mode will test only the upper microphone. Other modes of Voice Recorder enable both microphones so would be less conclusive. Cleanining out the mic holes completely solved my problem, while software fixes such as unchecking noise cancellation did not make any significant difference. Hope this is helpful.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akis1980:
My friend you saved me.!!!! i have tried a lot of things but the cover was the problem. Without it the mic in speakermode works great now.... I think even Samsung cannot explain this.!!!

You can disable processes using the task manager or msconfig.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] april.nettles17:
I have a verizon samsung galaxy s5 rooted on the new cricket/At&t. Went into efs and turned on. I started fooling around with the band settings and change one to 1700. Rebooted the phone now I have no service, even on global or gsm. I can't get back into the service menu to undo the changes I made because its saying no mobile network. Somebody any please help me....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] april.nettles17:
I figured it out

I figured it out... went back in and wiped the cache and it restored all radio band functions initially sent with phone
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] april.nettles17:
Also I wanted to come back and say that wasn't the only thing I did to gain access back to the service menu, I wasn't able to access the service menu due to no mobile network found. So I took the sim out and rebooted the phone. I then, to my surprise was able to access the service menu without getting the the no mobile network. From there I was able to go and change the setting I fooled around with back to the original settings. Then I rebooted the phone put the sim back in and it was fixed.

So to anyone who cannot access the service menu because of the no mobile network you can try to take the sim out and try it without it in...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlitew:
SM-N900V

Stock Android 4.3

SafeStrap 3.71

I've tried installing both Cyanogenmod and AOKP onto my Note 3 via SafeStrap. Both 'install' successfully yet upon boot (after continuing past recovery) I'm left with a blank black screen with no sign of progress.

For both I've been installing alongside my stock rom, the steps I follow:

1. Wipe data/cache/dalvik (twice)

2. Install rom + gapps

3. Wipe cache/dalvik

4. Reboot

I'm guessing my issue could come down to a multitude of reasons, in the long run I want to achieve running a great rom on my Note 3 alongside my stock rom. So more or less if someone could point me in the right direction of where success has been found in the past, that would be great!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phillymade:
This will never work as the Retail Note 3 has a locked bootloader so you can NOT flash the kernel that is for CM or AKOP. You are stuck with TouchWiz ROM's. There is no way around it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlitew:
Okay. That I did not know, I'm guessing the Verizon version of CM is for the developer edition? Otherwise, what are some of the best TouchWiz roms?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phillymade:
Correct. The DE edition has an unlocked bootloader. Go to the development thread there are several great ROM's. Can't tell you what to use as everyone wants something different. I run my own rom.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capt8210:
I use my phone for work constantly using my browser. What rom improves battery life as I am using it hard all day?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:
That really depends on how you use it, what apps you have, etc. We can't tell you what to use.

However, DynamicKat 5.0 is a very popular ROM to use.

I must insist that you pick what works best for you, though. I risk sounding like a **** here, but these threads are sort of frowned upon because they can lead to flame wars and whatnot.

Just pick a ROM to use for a week. Test it, put it through its paces, etc. Then change it up to something else.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capt8210:
Basically I use chrome alot I am an installer technician for charter and my programs run threw the browser
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:
Well... While you are testing keep a charger in your service vehicle. That way, if it's low, you can charge it up a bit while on the job.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zugshad:
Agree... he is right though. .everyones results vary from rom to rom. Currently on FireKat and get great battery life. There are several there that do similar usage to you (on net a lot, forums, etc) and they get 7+hrs of screen on time (1-2days battery)... but at 7hrs, that should easily get you through your day and then charge at night..

seen similar results on DynamicKat as well, and even seen someone on Stock that just deleted bloat and did the other set up processes and gets 8+ hours of screen time on a stock rom.. so, as can see, results will vary

but again agree, just keep a charger with you if a huge issue.. or you can get a portable brick charger as well, and hook up to that if can't hook up to a car or something.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
battery life isnt really about what kernel you use. battery life is all about how you use your phone, how you set it up, what apps you use, and most importantly, the quality of your phone/data connection. sure, a kernel might be able to help you get slightly better battery. but its really your use and your signal. and if your signal is bad quality, then your battery will always suffer.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
"Good battery life" does not apply to "everybody" that has rooted. Many root and simply expect that battery life must be improved, but still need to understand the basic laws of physics first.

(People's definition of "Good" in this scenario also varies massively...)

It comes down to how you use the device. There is no 'best settings' you should be looking for. Save yourself the time, and first understand what is using your battery.

SOT is a measurement, but a crude one. It offers no insight into what those 6 hours were doing...You can be certain that it wasn't 6 hours gaming at 100% brightness though. Under relatively light CPU load, low brightness, good signal etc...the laws of physics will explain higher SOT...

So I'm having a hard time here LOL.

I come from a soft brick and after some issues I got my m7_ul back to stock, which is great as it is alive again :D Now I want to flash a decent ROM, I have thought about ViperOne. However my TWRP 2.7.1.1 seems corrupted, I can't even enter it and I have had a couple of scary moments as the phone won't boot to system. Finally pressing the power button for like 30 seconds did the job and it booted to system. Stock ROM sucks but it is better than a brick haha.

My phone is international m7_ul, my HBOOT is 1.44 and I have Tampered and Unlocked labels, not sure what should I do exactly. Just want the basic strategy to get my custom ROM running and later on I will add a soundmod but that should be easier.
