[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] fraser:
Hey Juggles, I've a brief question on the bootloader...I take it that it's in a separate memory area from the actual CE ROM? Just trying to wrap my head around how it works. The common "Radio: NONE" problem is apparently caused by the bootloader going to quickly, not allowing the radio to init before it queries it. If we understood where the code was, it might be patchable to add a short delay here. Mind you, patching the bootloader....dangerous! Is there a recovery proceedure for when it's goosed? Something like a serial jtag or i2c link for flashing?

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] john09121:
Hello all.

Has anyone used link2sd with the shield tablet and if so does it work and also is it worth getting the 16gb version or just wait for the 32gb, I was looking forward to buying the 32gb today but then found out it has been put back till the 30/09/14:crying: and has anyone used a scandisk 128gb ultra class 10 with the tablet and are they any good:confused:

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Voltron ish:
If you decide to buy, I would recommend the 32GB. I find myself shuffling games between the SD card and internal storage.

Having said that, if you plan to play tegra games be aware that the tablet still loses charge when plugged in to an outlet. Nvidia has not acknowledged this yet.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaredmorgs:
Yep I used it, and found that it worked. But, I did find that trying to flash updates that clobber root make for a stressful experience when trying to set up the tablet again.

The app puts a config file on your internal sdcard that basically makes the user partition invisible to the tablet until you get the external sdcard relinked again. Then all your apps show up again.

With the baked in solution NVidia offers, you can use the external sdcard for other stuff. With link2sd, your sdcard is your internal card.

I wouldn't mind trying foldermount to see if that differs in features and reliability.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funb0b:
Foldermount is my preference used both.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berryman13:
Interesting. I have the plus version of both, but have used link2sd as it seems to have more scope of files. I don't really want my 64gb card in 2 partitions though. You think the stock method is the best? What do you then use folder mount for
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaredmorgs:
Phew, this turned out to be a long post (sorry about that).

Regarding the question about splitting your SD card

If you only want to use your 64gb card specifically as the symlinked device SSD, then you only need to put a small NTFS (from memory) partition as the first partition.

Again, it was a while ago, but I believe it only needs to be 10mb or something miniscule. link2sd then treats that as the "windows/mtp/ptp" directory, and the second partition with the remaining size formatted to EXT4 (again, read the docs: the file system type is explicitly stated) is the symlinked SSD.

Regarding your question about stock method/foldermount

I've been upgraded to an LTE 32GB, so I don't need to use this solution any more. I found that most games with a huge DLC bundle (Anomaly 2/Defenders, Sine Mora) allow you to offload the obb file to the ext sdcard anyhow.

The only advantage that could be worth investigating would be whether implementing link2sd or foldermount would allow you to continue to use the symlinked sdcard when you connect it to a PC. I seem to remember that when I did that with the stock solution, there was a caveat that some apps would stop working correctly because windows would steal the sdcard mountpoint for itself, thereby rendering the apps offloaded to the sdcard unavailable.

Summary

I would not bother unless you have a lot of large games, or heaps of local music or videos stored on your device.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berryman13:
So what do i do to make more than 500mb of free space available on my internal SD again, androids file move system?

Turn off your phone by hold power for few sec. Now hold vol- and power, when device will show you LG logo, then repress power button, but vol- need be hold non-stop . U'll see for a while white screen, and factory reset, now press 3 times power button, it should show recovery. Now search adb sideload and install by sideload philz recovery cwm. If u'll finish, reboot recovery, then wipe data/factory reset and wipe for install clean rom. Now install by adb sideload CM11. After this ur phone should boot, and show system, u should able to plug usb now and put stock rom to sd. Check my solutions. It worked for me and my phone i alive :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gorilla29:
HELP!!!

About 1 month ago, my Galaxy S3 running 4.4.2 (Completely stock: no root, rom, or custom firmware), suddenly got into a boot loop about 3 weeks after receiving the 4.4.2 update. At first, it would boot up completely into the OS, then shut down before I even had time to enter PIN. Sometimes, after shutting down, it would restart by itself, but only on some occasions. I was able to enter and constantly use recovery and download mode with no shutdowns, so it wasn't a battery problem, instead a software/firmware one. I found that if the phone was plugged in while booting, I was able to use the phone with no problem, but it shut off as soon as the charger was removed. I then factory reset it, wiped the cache and such, but the problem still persisted. After about not touching it for a week, the phone wouldn't even make it past the first Samsung boot animation and jingle without turning off. However, the plugging in method would make it go further into the boot sequence, but it still wouldn't boot into the OS. After leaving it alone for one more week, I then LOST RECOVERY ACCESS! It would boot up to the android figure, but shut off immediately. I was able to access download mode, and therefore, tried to flash an earlier firmware with ODIN.

The phone was recognized by ODIN, but the flashing process failed. I first tried to root the stock ROM, but ODIN couldn't find the recovery. I then tried to downgrade my firmware to 4.1.2. I got a FAIL message on my PC and an error message on the phone (in ODIN mode) saying, " SW REV CHECK FAIL: FUSED 2 BINARY 0" Now every time I try to turn on the phone, it goes straight into ODIN mode, and it shows the message, : Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, Please use Software Repair Assistant & try again" with an image of a phone and PC linked together, but being interrupted by a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it.

HELP ME PLEASE. I LOVE THIS PHONE AND I STILL HAVE A WHILE UNTIL I CAN GET A NEW ONE!!!!

Is your phone still under warranty with your wireless carrier? If it is, you may want to contact the customer support department. You may be able to get a new phone as a warranty replacement.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cyberkeeper1:
how is this even possible?

I would love to help, but please help me first. how do you claim to have 4.4 kitkat when for the i535 there is confirmed to only be 4.3 for a stock OS? this will make a big difference in the outcome of who can help you. Google and android both confirm that 4.3 is the last update for this phone coming from verizon. How can you have 4.4 stock with touchwiz and everything? unless you have AOSP, which is another things entirely. this phone does poorly for 4.4 in AOSP because we don't have a proper kernel or baseband for it. it wasn't officially released.

anyway, that is my question to you. :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gorilla29:
Thanks, but...

Thank you so much for your help. I flashed the file, and I got recovery back. However, the phone has just returned to the state that this problem begun with. It still goes further into the boot sequence (still won't start) when plugged in, but it will shut off before it finishes and as soon as it's unplugged. It won't even start the sequence without the charger.

Any other suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cyberkeeper1:
Is that so? I had no idea. I was told by Verizon the 4.3 is the last one. I certainly will investigate. On ODIN, make SURE you check the bootloader update option, F. Reset Time, and auto reboot. Otherwise, the bootloader will not allow you to boot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JudgeFutta:
Try flashing the .tar file from the second post. Also make sure you have odin setup correctly like cyberkeeper1 said.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gorilla29:
However, the phone will still shut down once booted, despite it being connected to power.

Maybe, but the phone never shuts off during recovery. I bet the phone is just done. Lol

[AT&T LG G3] ez4nick:
I have been a long time user of the $10 3 pack of plastic film protectors you can get on amazon, they work fine however after a few months they get scratched, hold tons of fingerprints and need to be replaced. What I'm wondering is would a tempered glass screen protector necessarily have any better fingerprint resistance or scratch resistance vs the plastic or is the only real advantage the fact the the tempered glass will shatter if dropped and not your phones screen. I'm considering the zagg glass only because of the free replacement. I previously used their invisible shield on a nexus 7 and was not impressed at all but am willing to give them another try only because of the free replacement.
[AT&T LG G3] YouSoSimpoh:
I've tried many plastic screen protectors and I used to have the same issue after a while they would track tons of fingerprints and wear down. I tried out the iLoome 8H Hardness Premium Screen Protector with Oleophobic Coating for the LG G2 and LG G3 and it's amazing. I feel like it helps against the fingerprints and scratches.
[AT&T LG G3] mosincredible:
I was previously a hater of screen protectors (because of the plastic ones) until I realized how anal I could be over micro scratches on my actual screen. Once I noticed one, I bought a glass screen protector for the first time. Was the Caribu on Amazon. I failed to apply it correctly because it was a first time thing but I still loved the feel, thought it was great & left it on for a couple weeks. I ordered the Bepak tempered glass on eBay which ships from China. Lined it up perfect first try and the adhesive slowly migrated across my screen leaving no bubbles. It's smoother and resist fingerprints better than the naked glass. No scratches yet.

In short, tempered glass screen protectors are the only reason I can even say I like screen protectors.

Fortunately I have not had this one break. My buddy has broken 3 and received replacements no issues
[AT&T LG G3] idelgado782:
I always used the lesser destructible protectors from zagg skins or clearcoat etc. With this device I decided I try out the zagg tempered glass and I don't think I would ever go back to any other screen protector. They give you added protection and are super clear! Definitely worth the extra investment

No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.
[AT&T LG G3] redhooka:
Stay away from the Bodyguardz tempered glass screen protector. It has sensitivity issues. Hopefully AT&T takes mine back when the new one I ordered from Spigen gets here.
[AT&T LG G3] sturmen:
I have the XtremeGuard Spartan Tempered Glass screen protector. It feels like glass, it seems to be just as sensitive, and it's not cloudy like some matte screen protectors are. There are only 2 things wrong with it: the top-right corner refuses to adhere, and it normally costs $50. I got it during a 90% off sale so it cost me $5 (totally worth it), but there's no way I would ever spend more than $10 on this thing. $5 was about right.
[AT&T LG G3] Craleb:
My local at&t wouldn't take mine back :(

Thankfully the sensitivity issue has gotten better with use. But it still messes up from time to time. I did get it 50% off, as well as my otter box case, so I guess I can't complain too much.

Side note: I'm not sure if I'm the only one that does this but I get the otter box defender and I actually pop out their "screen protector" and use a glass screen protector with it. Looks nice and feels protected
[AT&T LG G3] mrhaley30705:
You are not the only one. I popped mine out too. Did the same on my S3.
[AT&T LG G3] idelgado782:

Zagg Tempered Glass

Figured I'd add my 2 cents :) I've had my Zagg glass on about a month and it has been absolutely flawless.. and like the video shows.. that sumbitch will not scratch. Its got those hard plastic covers beat by a mile. I'd swear by it.. Once you put on a Zagg glass protector.. you'll kick yourself for ever having messed with others.

Sensitivity : 10

Clarity : 10

Ease of application : 10

and its lifetime gauranteed ... will be on every phone I ever use from the g3 on out :good:

Zagg Glass +1

Just thought I would chime in and say the Zagg Glass is amazing and I would rec it to anyone. Just as a plus, show this at any bestbuy and you can get it for 22 bucks. Now that is worth it 100%. Would have gladly paid 40 bucks for it if I hadent found this.

Going to make a complaint and see if I can get my money back or at least a credit on my bill. I have since put on a Zagg Glass and have not noticed the issue...and it actually feels better for swyping.
[AT&T LG G3] ChattyMatty:
I swear by Realook protectors. Sure, they're plastic, but they are the best fitting and best feeling I have found. Crystal clear and no orange peel or rubbery drag. I tried the Ziess glass cover on my g2 and could never get over the combination of the extra thickness at the edges and that cases either lifted it or eventually just plan broke it.

You have fingers, you will put prints on anything.
[AT&T LG G3] esimon311:
I'll never buy another plastic screen protector. Glass is the way to go..

Its like Cassette tapes vs CD's there's no contest...

I get mine of Amazon and pay between 5 and 10 dollars ..

Open wifi settings/ menu /advanced settings/ and check the wifi sleep state. I have mine always on as I spend most of my time in a wifi environment.

If you set it to sleep when screen off you will see it in the battery state screen you've referred to.
