Hi guys

So, this is my first thread here, and probably this is a much discussed issue, sorry if its so

Currently, I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini, running 4.1.2 factory ROM, the phone is rooted, and this is my second Android device, after a couple of years with a Galaxy Wonder

I saw a couple of topics on google about this issue: I installed Viber, and the app doubled (and tripled, and more) a lot of names on the contact list after syncro.

I've already unistalled and reinstalled the app a couple of times, and the problem remains

I'm using the contact list from my phone's memory

Any tip from you experts out there?

Kind regards

Antonio
[XDA Assist] :
Hi,

I'm afraid I can't find your issue. You can try wiping data for viber, but other than that...it sounds like an app issue. You may need to contact the app developer about that.

Feel free to ask for help in your device section if you'd like though....

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Deniska11:
Hey guys, so i have an i337, ive rooted it and installed twrp last year and ive been on google editions roms all the time. I was getting rid off some folders, and i think i deleted something important because i cant get into recovery. whenever i hold the button, i remeber it always said recovery, download mode, hot boot etc etc. Now i only see the power off option. Holding down vol up home power, i start getting into recovery and then my phone reboots and boots normally. Tried re installing twrp with odin, still nothing. Any suggestions? i337 4.4.3 MK6 baseband and phone is unlocked

EDIT: This is obviously murphys law, i tried entering recovery 10 times, and now i i somehow entered it, still bugs me why my hot boot, recovery, download mode options disappeared. Now my question is, i want to go back to an official rom "SER-I9505XXUFNC9", its a 4.4.2, is it save to downgrade, will i have any issues?? THANKS
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
You sure you have an at&t i337? Nc9 and mk6 is not an i337 firmware. The rom you want to go back to looks like it's for the i9505
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Deniska11:
You might be right because i did get it off a russian site called 4pda, and i doubt they know about the existence of 9505 because they only got the 9500 version. i know got all my roms from the i337 section, but how come i go to model in phone options and it says 9505g? Ok so if the i337 was made by at&t for north america, im out of luck of getting a russian official rom unless i get the google version again? (their versions got a ton of languages)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Go to sammobile.com. You should be able to find the firmware for your device there
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Deniska11:
yep im out of luck, only north/south american countries are on the list. This means i have to go with another google edition. Do you know if there is a way to import all the bells and whistles from official roms onto the google one? im talking about all those smart stay and s health apps?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliff p:
I currently use plex for my media management solution, which is fantastic. I have a quad processor server with 18TB of storage, 12TB usable as its configured for Raid6. I chose plex due to the fact that plexapps are available for my Samsung smart tvs, and for simplicity with my chromecast.

The wife knows my love of tinkering and that I've been eyeballing the AFTV for a while now. Can anyone provide some insight? I'm looking to further enhance my cord-cutting future as we are moving to South Korea next year and will need to rely on my server as well as streaming content for entertainment.

I'm tired of horrible firstrow streams for my football games, as well as UFC matches and indycar/rally races. Are there "alternatives" available with much improved quality?

Anything I should do first to the AFTV? How can I integrate it into my existing content delivery system?

Thanks in advance!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjbxx:
Might want to see if you can root the Fire TV before you ever hook it up. This allows for harnessing the power of the device with XBMC and the addons that are available. The How to setup a new Fire TV without blocking Root guide is a great starting point. Otherwise, the Fire TV will primarily be an Amazon centric box. And where is the fun in that?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliff p:
That was generally the idea (to root the device first before doing anything else with it). :)

When I first started looking into Media Servers, I worked very little with XBMC. A few friends with Plex suggested it to me, and it seems to fit the bill more for me. With that being said, can XBMC be integrated or coexist with PMS?

EDIT: Disregard the XBMC question, I did a quick search and found that I can install PlexBMC that will work with the PMS backend.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliff p:
So I've rooted the AFTV, Installed BB and SuperSU, and XBMC. Added a few "add-ons" like 1Chan and some others. Pretty cool little device! Kinda wishing there were more HD capable streams for certain programs, since there isn't much difference streaming the actual website steam via my laptop to my TV via HDMI.

I may put it in my VPN route and see if I can get my NFL games in HD at least.

Quite honestly wondering if it was worth installing Plex on, since my Samsung TV already has Plex and is a bit more seamless. I may use the device in place of the Chromecast dongle I have in the bedroom, though.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for some higher quality feeds, etc?

Almost forgot: Themes for the XBMC? Is it more worthwhile to have XBMC autostart on boot? I don't have a subscription for Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, etc. I use Plex, and use it heavily with Sickbeard/Couchpotato/Headphones/Etc.

THX.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjbxx:
Take a look at the [LAUNCHER] XBMC for Fire TV (Root). This XBMC launcher replaces the Fire TV launcher and at the same time allows access to it if you were to have Amazon content.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] spideynn:
So recently my Nook tablet fell on the power cord, and it fried an sdcard (stuck at 31MB and unformattable).

It booted fine, but a week after, when its plugged in, it does an infinite boot loop and never gets past the grey "N" logo, and won't boot into recovery. I use TWRP for recovery, and use CyanogenMod 10.1 as a rom. Any ideas, or do you think that there is no chance for it? I think that something might have been fried when it fell on the power cord.
[General Topics] MrSmartass:
First to say, this is a bit long, but explains exactly what is my problem and what am I doing, I really need help, please. Thank you,

Today I bought hdmi (Male-Male) cable and MHL 5-pin adapter for my Xperia Z1 Compact. And I have a really weird problem. So I set up everything the way it's supposed to be, connect hdmi cable to TV and mhl adapter, charging cable to adapter and then connect adapter to phone, also I set correct hdmi channel on TV. And, I get notification about MHL connected, but there's no any picture or sound on TV. Also, phone randomly stops charging, however mhl notification still stays and screen stays landscape, until I switch to another program on TV or unplug cable. Another weird thing, if I play any format of video in any player(even stock one), video stops every 4 sec and I have to manually press play every time(it's not performance issue though, I can play unoptimized games for qualcomm like GTA SA with same amount of framerate as if I played normally) and sound from video can sometimes go out through phone speaker(and it's not supposed to, instead should come as hdmi output on TV). And here some of the facts:

-My charger and cable normally works

-Without charger connected to mhl adapter, I dont get any notification, so charging part is fine

-If I unplug hdmi cable from mhl adapter, I dont get random charging interrupts, phone charges constantly

-I have stock 4.4 Kitkat Android, no system applications deleted

-My tv is from 2005, Panasonic, without mhl but has 2 Hdmi slots- 720p, in case TV means anything

I have 3 guesses that came to my mind: software issue(like bug or something), unsupported resolution(maybe if phone doesn't recognize TV's 720p and instead sets to full HD(but then there wouldn't be charging issue and probably video pausing issue too) and lastly, broken adapter(To mention, it's right type, 5 pin, so it could only be literally broken inside-loose, but it seems quality and if it was loose there would still be some kind of output on TV, during normal charging period)

Can anyone give some solution...? I can't find any similar problem to mine, so I have no idea what could be the cause.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Claudio21CH:
Hi there

having an unlocked SM-N9005, flashed custom ROM (Bobcat) some months back, returned to stock-rom yesterday, all went fine. Decided then to give Bobcat another try, flashed it with Odin, 'passed'. It then got stuck in a bootloop and when trying to enter in download or recovery mode I got this nice little red message "kernel not seandroid enforcing' and in yellow 'set warranty Bit: kernel'. I know this most likely has to do with the kernel I have chosen when setting up bobcat BUT now I can't flash anything nor can I do a recovery....?

any ideas?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tampaboy1984:
Hi everyone. I just wanted to make a thread and see how many people were jumping ship to the newer devices. And why?

Note 4? - Is it really worth the upgrade right now?

Note Edge? - Is the new curved edge display gonna be functional enough being that it is completely new tech?

I'd like this to be a spot where we can debate differences, pros, and cons. Really just looking for other people's input because I'm really torn between the Note 4 and Note Edge.

Also my Note 2 is still in perfect condition, runs great, and does everything I need it to still. So I'm also deciding if I really need to upgrade or not. Decisions, decisions ?????

Sorry if this is in the wrong spot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ProFresh4:
I am making the jump. I think the edge will end up like the Mega forgotten about shortly after its release.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tampaboy1984:
Thank you for your input ?

Right now the only selling point for me with the Edge is just that WOW factor when someone does see you have it they'll probably be like "woah what phone is that", because of the edge screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ProFresh4:
Yea it has the wow factor. But they displayed the phone a year ago when they talked about the galaxy round which never made it to the U.S
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] marbler:
I can't help myself...

I want a new phone every year. I know that some need to change even more often, but I get trapped into thinking I "need" the better screen, camera, etc. I love the Note product line. I've had all three. I have to say that the Note II was by far the best upgrade, so far. In fact, to be honest, going from the Note II to the Note 3 had as many downsides as upsides in my opinion. From my personal experience, the camera was not better - it had more features (mostly useless), but the autofocus did not function as well as the Note II. I had more blurry pictures on my Note 3 than ever on my Note II. You start to realize that once you get a good camera, the upgrade to higher MP isn't as important as having a good camera that just works.That was one of the letdowns I had with the Note 3. The other is battery life. First of all, the orignal Note had a horrible battery life and I thought that was just going to be the price of having for an enormous phone with a great screen. but the Note II solved that issue in spades! The upgrade to the Note II was worth it just for the battery life alone. The Note 3 on the other hand was a pretty serious downgrade in battery performance... at least from my experience. Which brings me to the topic of this thread (finally)...

I'm very concerned that the battery life will take a step backwards from the Note 3 to the Note 4. The screen on the Note 4 is unbelievable, but there is a price to pay in the battery. I find it crazy that the battery size was not bumped up to accomodate. I know they stated in their intro that it was something like 7% more battery efficient than the Note 3, but I don't think THEY even believed that, because it was just thrown in at the end. Instead they spent time talking about how they made it faster charging. I don't know about you, but I don't want to plug my phone in during the day, every day; even if it is only for 30 minutes for a quick charge. Battery life is just too important to me, as I learned from the original Note and I don't want to go backwards AGAIN. the Note Edge has an even slightly smaller battery and the extra screen that seems to have an "always-on" feature. I'm even more worried about that one.

Hmmm. Maybe I'll sell my Note 3 and buy a Note II and pretend that is my annual upgrade. HA!

I plan on getting the nexus 6 in a few months. I like the shape of it. Dual front facing speakers. Pure stock. I don't use the s-pen often. I have had the original note now the 2. I use straight talk prepaid AT&T Sim so the international 6 will be a perfect fit. And by February I may find one a llittle cheaper. I like the note series but the nexus 6 has the bigger screen and less crap and no TW. And I dont have to root it to have a pure stock android experience. I like the note 4 but I just like the N6 better.
[Google Chromecast] RyanEJ25:
Hey guys I researched online and I hope I am not making a duplicate thread here but my CC wont cast anything from a phone, tablet, or PC. I have had cutout issues before but I was atleast able to cast my Chrome Tab from my PC. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

When I go to cast Netflix it says: Were having trouble playing this title right now. Please try again later.

YouTube says: There was an error playing this Title please choose another video.

Chrome from my PC cast tab says: Unable to cast to device, an unexpected error occurred.

Allcast just shows a black screen when playing a local .mp4 video file and wont load

Local Cast says my video file type isnt supported.

I reset cache, data, re-installed all these apps and factory reset my chrome cast. I have tried plugging in the power to USB and the supplied charger. I had to call Google directly yesterday because my CC unit would not stop boot looping. I fear I may have to call them and tell them I need a replacement.

Device:

VZW LG G3 Rooted. Nothing messed with only disabled apps.

G Pad Wifi running CM11

CC: Firmware 19084

Internet:

Time Warner internet 50MB/5MB

Motorola SB6141 Modem

Asus RT-N66U Dual band router

Hey guys! Long day.. My phone (Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 sph-L720) has been **** since I sync'd Exchange and it required me to encrypt my phone. It requires me to enter a 4 digit pin before the device fully boots in to the OS.

I installed SuperS4 via the below link after installing CWM. It now boots showing the new boot splash page (I think it's called), then goes to the encryption unlock. As soon as I enter the 4 digits, it reboots. It says "Kernel is not Senadroid enforcing" up top but I read that's normal.

How do I delete all the encrypted data and start over with a new image? No encryption or anything. Hopefully this thread is in the right place.. Thanks!

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
I'm having a very strange problem with my sister's xperia sp. It's the C5302 model. Seconds after I disconnect the phone from a powersource, the phone goes into a continuous bootloop, and the only way to make it recover is to connect it to a power source again. The rear power button will turn off the phone but if I try to turn it on it will go back into the bootloop. I have tried many different roms and kernels, everything from AOSP to stock sony. I recently used flashtool to reset it to .205 and the problem persists. I did have the bootloader unlocked so I don't think I will be able to warranty this phone. I did back up the TA partition prior to the unlock though. The problems began occurring infrequently about a month back but are now to the point of being absolutely ridiculous. Does anybody have a fix or workaround?

Okay, so my dad depends on his phone, he uses it like 95% of the day. His phone has a clean history, one owner, never had an issue, and though its water resistant he doesnt bother to get it wet. Here's the thing, casual day, he arrives from work to charge his phone and when he plugs it in the charger he always uses, the phone doesnt react at all, he shuts it off and after doing so he plugs it back in and the screen shows a gray battery with a lightning bolt and then it shows the same gray battery, but this time it has a yellow triangle with an exclamation point in its center. I tried changing the battery with another fully functional unit, and changing charger/cable but nothing works. I even tried using micro USB instead USB 3.0. The phone DOES boot up it just wont charge.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] NighthawkXL:
Hey, saw your post in reddit and thought I'd chime in to help!

First thing, let me ask a few questions about the device....

Has it been modified in anyway (i.e Rooted, Safestrap,etc.)

Is the water damage sticker RED or WHITE? (It's beneath the battery)

Is the charger a official Samsung for the S5, or a third-party cable? Did, you try plugging it into a USB port on a computer opposed to the wall charger?

Does the the USB / Charge port on the device look to have any defects? Burn marks, loose connection when hooked to the charging cable, etc.?

As it stands right now from what you described in your post above it sounds like a defective battery, or possibly a defect in the device itself at either the charging port, or the battery terminals itself. You may want to send it into Samsung, and see if the warranty covers it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dosnoventa:
no

white

official and not yet, but i did tell my dad to do so

and the port and battery themselves seem to be in mint condition
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] jfleegle:
I'm notoriously bad about dropping mobile devices, so I'm looking for a good rugged case that doesn't add too much bulk to the tablet. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Edit: Oops, that should be for the 10.5, not the 10.6!
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] pjd007:
I went for this one and although it weighs 290g I'm confident it's strong enough to protect from drops and other than the weight I wouldn't describe it as bulky:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00N46ACUA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Also unless you buy one made of carbon fibre (£££££) you will of course add some size to the tablet regardless of which case you go for, it's a trade off between protection and dimensions.
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] jfleegle:
I definitely expect a protective case to add a little bulk, but the Otterbox for this tablet is just WAY too bulky.

I think I found the case you referred to on the US Amazon site at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N46ACUA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2IHZFOHOQ0WG8. When I was looking for that, I also found this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L2N58BA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2IHZFOHOQ0WG8. Would you recommend one over the other?

I've also been looking at this case: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LEY95HU...lid=2CCEFOTVC1FPB&coliid=I3S2LVSVANEW8G&psc=1, but I'm not sure if a silicone-only case will give me the protection I need, and I prefer one that has a cover/stand.

Opinions?
