OK after spending an hour trying to fix this I have discovered it to be caused by the Xposed module Disable Location Consent which apparently does not like the latest play services update.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biustech:
i'm getting i huge wakelock from this com.google.android.gms.fitness after this stupid update!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stas333:
I'm going to give this a try. I have the same module installed.

Thanks for this. Fixed the problem for me. It was driving me crazy!

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyBalls:
DUDE!! Thanks so much for figuring this out. I kept looking at logcat to make sure what it was...but i couldn't find anything. Seriously...you saved me so much time. Cheers mate!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jake2kOne:
yep, the Xposed module Disable Location Consent was the problem for me, too.

A few days ago it started after I deinstalled the play service for "performance improvements" (you all know the "tweak"). After this I got force closes all the time... I flashed the phone and noticed, it still there. So it must be an app.

After a bit I came to the solution by randomly deactivating xposed modules :D
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stueycaster:
Cool, thanks. This has been driving me crazy since yesterday. I even restored my backup. Now hopefully they'll fix that xposed module.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spectral1991:
I think the FCs appeared cause Google's location pop-up now has a checkbox that says "don't show this again". Which is kinda good, since it saves the trouble of having this xposed module to begin with.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PillClinton:
Thank you so much for this!! This was driving me crazy. SO annoying. After disabling that module, no more errors! Glad Google finally added the 'Don't show again' checkbox, but at the same time, wondering why it took so long? Either way, problem solved :good::good:

So this is the thing, I have a Likuid L-1 Flyer (I know I should buy a better one, I just cant right now) so I have been trying to find a ROM for this phone, but I just can't, and well I really don´t know much about wich ROM could work with it, I would like some tips or any kind of help (Dont tell me "Get a new one!" or "That's not even a real phone") :D Thanks for taking your time to read this.

BTW: When I rooted it for some reason it was recognize as HTC Flyer, I dont know if that helps in any way.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TPADroid:
Hello everyone!

It has been a while since I have been on XDA and I am back in the saddle with a Sprint GS5.

Technically, I am going to purchase my GS5 today or tomorrow and I am interested in getting rid of the all the Bloat on the phone (Samsung stuff, etc). A few questions I have are as follows:

Using the Link below, I will be unlocking and rooting the phone, it appears to be pretty self explanatory, is this the best option to use?

Just in case, is there a default or stock Samsung Sprint ROM I can restore? For example, there were default roms your could restore on your phone to take back to the store for warranty work?

Are there any barebones Kit Kat 4.4.X roms that can be run on the GS5? I am coming off a MotoX which I loved the stock KitKat ROM

I see there are a few different recoveries to use, does one work better than the other? Easier to use?

The Galaxy ~S5~ All in one support thread!**NOOB FRIENDLY**

Thanks for any help and suggestions (Links, readying, etc.)

I typed a good reply, then I noticed you didn't even tell us anything about your tablet. It varies based on the model number. Even between devices with the same screen size some ROMs will be made for it and others won't. So it's hard to say what to do when we don't even know that much!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imranaryan:
sir i have p3100 it is listed on my signature

do u have Sungsonic™ HD Anniversary Edition V-7 mirror link .. i want to install that one on my tab but the link provided by OP is dead and Op is not responding .. i will be grateful to you
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shakatu:
Okay yeah I'm on mobile and it doesn't show signatures sorry. I do everything with the 10.1" so I don't have 7" stuff...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kpxexpress:
Long story short, I had an issue with my HTC One X that I received from a friend. It would load up and then immediately restart about 15 seconds after getting to lock screen. I was just stuck in a boot loop.

So I decided to flash a new rom onto the phone, but neither I nor my friend had created a backup so now my OS is wiped.

I can boot into recovery mode, though. I'm not sure what the first screen is called, but it's the one with the skating androids. It tells me:

When I enter into recovery, it appears that I have TWRP v2.3.1.0.

In here, I cannot install any roms. They appear to fail. Installing says:

I had read somewhere that I need to upgrade my TWRP in order to properly install roms, but at the current moment, running adb devices in a command prompt pointed at my adt bundle folder does not work. It just has a blank list.

Attached is a photo with what I think are the most relevant things I've downloaded/installed so far.

It does look like I can connect my phone to the computer via Mount USB Storage, but sideloader does not work since adb devices is blank.

Any thoughts?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
The first screen with the skating Androids is your bootloader, FYI. Adb commands aren't used for flashing a recovery, fastboot commands are used. You do indeed need to update TWRP, the version you currently have installed isn't compatible with any current ROMs. Click the guide link in my signature, there are instructions on anything you need to do there.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kpxexpress:
I think I have my phone on Fastboot right now. I have the white screen that has FASTBOOT USB written on it with

underneath the control options. I've attached a picture below.

I Shift + Right Clicked to open command prompt in the folder with fastboot.exe and my recoveryfilename.img file.

In the command prompt, I enter in the command

fastboot flash recovery "recoveryfilename.img"

and it just stays on

< waiting for device >

I still can't figure out how to update my TWRP without an OS.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
What OS are you running on your PC? Did adb/fastboot work at any point?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kpxexpress:
I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro. ADB worked once. I was able to get it to detect in recovery. ADB Devices would give me the customary string of numbers followed by "RECOVERY" and then I rebooted the phone for some reason and it stopped working. Oh, during that time I was also able to move stuff to the phone via ADB Sideload, but I would get pretty much the same errors when installing, which I later found out was because my TWRP was too old. I can't seem to get it to connect via ADB/Fastboot anymore. I can, however mount via TWRP.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
There's your problem. Windows 8.1 isn't compatible with fastboot. You'll need to get access to a PC with a lower version of Windows so you can update TWRP.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kpxexpress:
Oh, really? Will 8 or 7 work?

I used a Windows 7 laptop and was able to update my TWRP to v2.7.0.8!

Seem to still be unable to detect devices via adb devices command.

Ok. Had to update my drivers.

I'm following your instructions on How To Install A ROM with TWRP Recovery, and now my issue is that it is saying

error flashing zip '/sdcard/pac.zip'

I've included a picture below.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You're gonna need to get s-off so you can update your firmware. In order to get s-off you'll need to flash the Kickdroid ROM. Once you've flashed Kickdroid you can go to the Rumrunner s-off site and get s-off. Then follow the instructions in my guide thread to update your firmware.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kpxexpress:
Alright, so I managed to get the Kickdroid ROM working! So right now I at least have a working phone that I can use! Thanks a TON for getting me this far.

Rumrunnner seems to not be working right for me. I'm in ADB recovery and can confirm an ADB connection, but it's still displaying

ERROR: run rumrunner again and READ (no adb connection to device. Debugging on? Drivers?)

But it's a start. I'll have to make sure I'm following all instructions carefully.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quasar99:
Hi

I recently updated my LG G3 (unrooted) to V10h and now every time I plug in my earphones the phone recognises them as having a headset.

The result is that every 20 seconds the music cuts out and the LG Siri-like app cuts in and waits for me to ask a question.

Seeing as my headset has no mic, I would like to know why they are being recgognised as having one?

I have tried to disable the app in question, but it just starts up again within a couple of minutes. And i can't install it as its one of those that (along with McAfee) doesn't have the option.

As I said above, I am not rooted and have no idead how to do to it, or even what the benefits are (!?), but does anyone have any information on a possible cause or solution to this?

Thanks in advance

Q9
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lossah:
Search the forum. But to answer your q. It's a known issue and it's working if you disconnect and connect the cable until you see a headphone icon.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maikeru-chan:
I think this is your earphones' problem. I encountered this before. It keeps pressing random buttons but when I tried another pair of earphones of the same kind, it worked normally. Also, try plugging the earphones on other Android devices check if it acts the same way.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lossah:
It's definitely not because of any headphones. :P
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quasar99:
thanks for the replies guys. :good:

I am not convinced its a problem with my earphones (although I am happy to be proved wrong) as i have had them for a while, and this issue only popped up immediately after updating the software.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] cybropm:
For wireless charging how does this exactly work?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modmatt:
It works by induction. You need a special charging station (read: a square box that is resting on your nightstand from now on), where you can put your phone on. You don't have to fiddle with plugs.

The charging station works with a standard USB connection and for your phone you need the above mentioned back cover, with is a complete replacement for the existing backplate. The special back cover contains all the electronics and contact pins to connect with the phones battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] jerflash:
looks like it make the phone super thick!!! Plus cant use with any cases
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] open1your1eyes0:
Of course, they have to place the coil somewhere, it's just a sacrifice you have to make for having the convenience. Also most flexable rubber/silicone cases do work because they stretch (I just prefer to go without them for the sake of ruining the design of the phone).

It should be arriving here by end of week and I'll be sure to take a few pics for you guys.

FYI, I have purchased a wireless charging back for every single Samsung device I have ever owned so I have plenty of experience (S3, S4, Note 3, and currently S5)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] jerflash:
I was running the wireless charging back on my LG G3 so I have some experience as well. That back only added 1 millimeter to the thickness...I measured it. Just better design. I have the alpha and I'm currently testing next to the iPhone 6. Liking both phones alot. Need to test battery life

Sent from iPhone I'm testing using Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] BunnyKillBot:
The most disappointing thing about the wireless charging back cover, other than its extra thickness which makes it less flush, is on the standard cover, the SAMSUNG logo is shiny and embossed, giving the same effect as the metallic edging. On the wireless charging cover, its matte and flat like a cheap tacky plastic print. Not at all in-keeping with the quality of the rest of the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] open1your1eyes0:
Hmm this is quite strange, usually Samsung does not cheap out on those wireless charging back covers and try to make it as identical to original as possible (at least on all the models I've used them on). Perhaps they didn't spend as much into this one due to the lack of popularity/demand for this device. Still surprises me though, it should cost cheaper in that case as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modmatt:
[MENTION=2938897]jerflash[/MENTION]: Actually on the S5 the gain in thickness is almost not noticeable. My dad uses one and switched backcovers and you don't see it.

Inductive coils are super thin copperwires that need next to no room for themselves.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] MO3iusONE:
I bought one of these for my note 3 and even though it did give it some weight and thickness, the battery cover was thick enough that the camera lens would not come in contact when places on a flat surface which was nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] imthenachoman:
That is the wireless charging cover of the Alpha right? Can you tell me if it has magnets in it for alignment? I'm trying to build a car dock with magnetic attachment like the Nexus 5 and wonder if this cover for the Alpha would let me do that.

---------- Post added at 11:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------

And/or would you know the answer to my question?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] imthenachoman:
Is anyone using the qi cover with thr Alpha?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] open1your1eyes0:
I am. As far as am aware there are no magnets in the cover but a metal plate is there.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] imthenachoman:
And it works? I emailed Samsung and they told me there are no qi chafgers that work with the Alpha. If youre saying it works I might actually buy it and build a magnetic charger for it so I can dock in my car. Thanks!

They also confirmed thr Alpha has OIS.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] open1your1eyes0:
It definitely works (using it daily at work) so whoever you talked to has no idea what they're talking about. Wouldn't be the first time honestly.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] pohlipit:
That wireless charging cover looks super ugly and so doesn't fit the amazing design of the rest of the pone. Not sure what Samsung was thinking when making such a poor looking charging cover.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] hensk:
Thay confirmed OIS,i try to find out anywhere this info but I only find in one US site nowhere else

is it possable that Alpha has OIS

Can you shere this info with us m8
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] tangiers:
Could you please tell me whether the extra thickness of the cover makes it impossible to fit a case over it? I have in mind a flip case.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] MaskedMarauder:
Samsung do not yet list a wireless charging back on their web site for the Galaxy Alpha. I wonder if this is a picture of the back for the bigger battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] tangiers:
I got my official wireless charging back. Unfortunately, it does make the phone slightly thicker which means cases are not going to fit over it. I tried a cheap plastic soft case which I thought would stretch enough to fit but it didn't. So I had better not drop my phone.....

Otherwise, the wireless charging works fine with a Nokia DT desktop charger.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] roddis:
Does anybody know if the charging cover will come in gold too? It would also be nice with a S view cover with charging in it for the Alpha.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] DimonVideo:
my variant of low cost wireless charger for Alpha)))

ali link

usb out not needed anymore - es explorer via wifi can copy files from LAN
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Redsandro:
Does anyone know WHY this cover is so fat? This cover is so fat, you can almost fit a 3000 mAh battery in it.

If you just need a coil that fits in the normal case like DimonVideo has, doesn't that mean that any second now, someone will start selling a thinner cover with wireless charging?

And lastly, you would think you can modify the USB solution in the link from DimonVideo so that it connects to the connection points the wireless cover also uses, so that the usb port can remain free.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] bdrec64:
Great information, I just got the alpha coming from a droid mini on Verizon. I would like to take advantage of the wireless qi chargers that I currently have however I would also like a case on the phone. I'll keep an eye out for the pwrcard as that looks like it might be a solution to add to the phone under the flip case.

Unless, anyone else has found a case that fits around the qi charging back?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Laugher19:
People say the Spigen Neo Hybrid case fits over the charging back, maybe you might want to try that.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] schleger89:
It will fit... definitely very snug but will work. I have both the official wireless charging cover and the Spigen Neo Hybrid case. The back of the case is made of silicon and allows a bit of stretch. At work right now but will update with pics when I get a chance.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] bdrec64:
Thanks for the reply. Yes, it does fit, i went ahead and ordered one and put it on the phone. It is a tight fit and yes i thing the silicon with stretch a little over time but i am happy with rhe fit. The back feels good and the silicon creates the lip on the front so when puting the phone face down the screen has a little protection too. I dont have a way to take pics or i would but it does fit.

Here's a review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GyeMrmsQ3s
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] The_Newtype:
Good find.

I'm still on the fence about purchasing the wireless cover, although it seems like a worthy addition to the phone.

Anyone think it will work with the extended battery? That would make this phone beast (if us here in USA could get root on our AT&T version).
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Gray44:
out of the box, no.

But if you're handy, you could connect the copper contacts with each-other.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] The_Newtype:
How do you mean?

I'm curious if the wireless charging cover would simply allow room for the extended battery (since it's larger). Doubtful, but a guy can dream.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Gray44:
The extended battery hasn't been released yet but that cover looks less thick than the wireless cover. (the wireless cover looks unnecessary thick!)

If you could remove all the inner plastic of that wireless cover and keep only the coil, you could connect the copper contacts of the coil with those of the phone.

(I have none of them but it might work. ;) )
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] The_Newtype:
Ah, gotcha.

I wish these companies would release the accessories when the actual phone is available to purchase...

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] estrizhok:
Wherever I looked, there are always only black and white versions. Whether is it a wireless charging cover or an extended battery + cover. Will there be a charger or the extended for Silver version?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kind3r:
I just got this, together with the Alpha (SM-G850F) and I can confirm that the reviews on amazon are true:

1. The back cover does not close perfectly at the bottom, near the USB port, leaving a small gap (aprox 0.5mm). This does not bother me as I use an ultra slim silicon cover so it's not noticeable.

2. On 5.0.2 it only charges to 75-76%. I will try it on kitkat next week, but I'm sure it will work to 100%.

3. NFC works, no issues there.

Update: As expected, wireless charging works as it should on KK
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] MaskedMarauder:
SlimPWRcard Qi Receiver NOT fully S-View Compatable

I ordered a SlimPWRcard Qi Receiver and have a genuine Samsung supplied S-View case. the SlimPWRcard Qi Receiver claims to be compatible, but out of the box that is not correct. The pins that contact the phone body are too tall, particularly the ones for the S-View connector meaning that the case does not clip onto the phone correctly at the top right corner. I have started to file the pins down but it will be a slow process as I do not want to damage the receiver, but I am getting there!

I am on vacation now, but when I return home I will finish the job and do a review including giving the ACTUAL thickness of the card as it is thicker in places than the 0.5mm claimed.

I can also confirm that on V4.4.4 it works properly, but on 5.01 it does not, only charging to about 73%.
