[General Questions and Answers] SvenHee:
I know, the reasons why there is a 10 post minimum before a noob can post to the developer section of a phone is legit.

But my phone is rare and thus there are few people posting about it with just a few devs that are active.

If I do a search for the phone, (huawei ascend mate) all i get is the threads where I am not yet allowed to post.

I did post a question about my phone being bricked in the section where it was allowed but did not get answers. Why?

Because the devs only visit the dev threads, which are located in the forums of yet another phone, the P6....

So it may be valid to have the 10 post minimum but it leaves me out in the cold!

Now there is a forum dedicated to the mate 2, why not move the mate 1 forum in to that section?

At least that will make the devs take more notice of nooms with general questions.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sofixPL:
Hello guys. I'm a new member to this forum, although I have been following it since I had my first android device. I would like to welcome you all and appreciate for your hard work of developing android devices. :)

So I recently flashed a custom ROM [4.4.2] for my GALAXY NOTE 3 SM-N9005 32GB. It worked perfectly, but I found this clean script for NOTE 3 which freed the device from stock apps. I flashed it using CWM recovery and I followed aroma. After that my phone rebooted, but it was stuck on the start-up screen and it kept rebooting. I was able to go to recovery mode and I wiped data and cache, but it didn't help, so I flashed OFFICIAL ROM N9005XXUENB7 BTU using ODIN. It flashed correctly, but :

* There was device set-up lags

* I had no sound

* No service

* Laggy lock screen

* Camera not working

* Couldn't play videos

* Random reboots

* Unknown baseband e.t.c

I have tried many different OFFICIAL ROM's, with PIT file, but it didn't help. I have also flashed a few MODEMS, but it didn't change anything. I have fallowed a few UNBRICKING guides, but never succeed. I have also flashed many different CUSTOM ROM's, but it didn't help. Sometimes when I flash a OFFICIAL ROM my phone keeps rebooting. All of flashed ROM's were ANDROID 4.4.2

Would anyone be able to help me and get my phone back to life ?

Thanks for your time. :good:

Thanks guys for help. My phone is back to life :) everything is working properly. What I did was (for those who have the same issue)

1. Downloaded the latest stock frimware for my sim card provider (o2)

2. Wiped data/cache, sd card, system format

3. Uninstalled kies

4. Dowloaded odin 3.09 ( I was using 3.07 before)

5. Put firmware to AP in Odin, plugged in my phone and pressed start.

THANKS for help :victory::victory::highfive:

Yes, I've only selected Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Mons1990:
Hi folks. Does Z3 Compact use Dalvik o ART by default? Is it switchable? Someone has tried changing these settings and see pros and cons? Thank you.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
ART won't be the default until Android L. AFAIK the ART option is removed from Sony handsets.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] dillalade:
Yeah first thing I wanted to do was switch to art. But its removed from developer options.

ART plus f2fs partitions completely changed the experience on my z1c - for the better.

But tbh z3c on dalvik is already incredibly responsive. ART will make this device flyyyyyyyyy

I don't know, my experience in other devices was that the difference between ART and Dalvik was barely perceptible.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] moeduss:
Anyone know of a good Wi-Fi tether app? Is there a work around for the native tethering that does not need Verizon's permission to use.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] rcharliesam:
Before rooting, I was using pdanet/foxfi. They worked well, but required a pin lock on the phone. If you try it, the only way to remove the pin lock is to delete the security certificates. That part was annoying, but was worth it for tether.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Sevinex:
A user by the handle hideandrun (or something like that) posted a tutorial on how to tether via the native tethering application in the Verizon HTC One M8 General forums (this one) a while back. If I can find it I will add it to my comment.

Edit: Here you go. For whatever reason I could not find it in the General section, so I did a quick forum wide search for "native tethering" and it was the third result. Oh, and his handle is runandhide05, not hideandrun.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saksham0:
I've been using Xperia SP for more than a year now. During the first 6 months, GPS worked just fine. After that, I cannot get a GPS fix while there are sufficient GPS satellites in view. I've given it to the service center, after keeping it for a day, they say that now GPS will work, but they don't do anything besides restoring the phone to factory settings. I've attached screenshots of GPS Status & Toolbox application which might help in determining the issue.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chemist.jones:
I have a Samsung SGH-i537

Baseband version I537UCUCNH3

Security software version MDF v 1.0 Release 2

About a month ago my phone was pushed a firmware update to 4.4.2. I immediately started having problems with battery life. It would get to ~39-50% and turn off. When I turned it back on it would be at 0-2%. The total battery time on my phone is about 90 minutes - not acceptable at all. When I look at the battery usage it shows the Android System and Android OS being the main drains on the batter, even above the screen drain.

Since this all started to happen after the 4.4.2 update I would like to change the ROM. I rooted the phone using towelroot and SuperSU method. However, every ROM I found warned against using it for the i537, so I had a rooted device with no ROM so my problem remained. I got the OTA update to NH3 which removed the root now the towelroot method does not work.

Here's what I need - a way to root my phone and get a different ROM. Anything but 4.4.2 for me at this point will work (unless there is a better fix for the battery life problem). At this point I basically have a landline phone because it needs to be plugged in almost all the time.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devo7v:
As a recommendation, please post any questions in the Q&A section and not the General section.

To start, if you would like to track down what is draining your battery download BetterBatteryStats and let it run until your battery is almost dead. It will show you more specifically what is killing your battery.

The first thing I would try to get the battery back under control would be to do a factory reset. This will completely wipe out everything on the phone and basically get you back to when you first pulled the phone out of the box. It should show significantly improved battery life. If that doesn't work and you still want to root, you're going to have to downgrade to NE3. To do this, download the NE3 Odin package from the Firmware Thread and load up and flash all the files EXCEPT the bootloader (if you try to flash the bootloader, Odin will fail). This will completely wipe the phone. Once you're on NE3, you can root and install SafeStrap, and then install the NH3 zip file through SafeStrap. This will result in rooted NH3 firmware.

Finally, if you want to install a custom ROM, you're going to have to go back to NE3 firmware to root and install SafeStrap. You can then flash any of the S4 AT&T custom ROMs that are based on TouchWiz. This means you cannot install CyanogenMod, AOKP, Paranoid Android, or any other ROM that is based on CM or AOSP. This is the limitation with the locked bootloader on the i537.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chemist.jones:
Sorry about the post location.

So I'm trying to get the Odin package from here, per your instruction in this thread. However, when I try to unzip to open up the files in Odin I get a checksum error; the file is corrupt. Do you have another link for the firmware by chance?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devo7v:
It sounds like you have a corrupted download. I would re-download the file and check that the MD5 matches the one posted on the site before you continue. If you download it and the MD5s match, then you should have not problem flashing everything. Keep downloading until you're certain you have a good download, unfortunately I don't have another mirror.

[HTC One S] bynge:
My battery level has been jumping for last 3 months. It is mostly random and happens at either ends of the battery level.

For exmaple, while charging it jumps to 100% directly from anywhere above 75%. Occurs almost everyday

While discharging it drops 20% in a split second anywhere below 35%. This is mostly observed if I am discharging quickly in gaming or video chats etc.

In last week I am seeing that the phone directly goes to 0% from 30-35% while discharging and refuses to boot after that. I need to charge and then use. While charging it rises from 0% continuously and no jump.

See the pics i have attached and suggest whether I have to replace my battery. Also if I am replacing my battery, what all do I need to take care of while replacing. How do I calibrate the new battery ?
