[AT&T LG G3] THEbigSWEEN:
Like another user mentioned pulling battery or at least resetting the phone periodically helps with battery and helps keep things running smooth. Using Better Battery Stats and looking at Alarms and Partial Wakelocks is a good way to determine if there is a rogue app killing your battery. A couple good Xposed Modules, if you're not using them or aware of them, are Greenify to help hibernate apps that like to constantly wake the phone and NLB Unbounce module is a good one for if you want to keep your location on and keep Google Now functionality. You can set how often you want the wakelocks and alarms to trigger and with the donate you can do the same with any wakelock/alarm. Just be cautious if using the pro version as some alarms or wakelocks if disabled or tinkered with incorrectly could make the phone unstable. Just a few tips/ideas. I have the VS985 and have had pretty good battery life since getting everything set up and debloated. Usually about 17-18 hours on battery (I don't sleep much) and 4-5 hours screen on time. I like the screen on the brighter side as well, which usually I adjust with the status bar so I don't have an exact percentage for the brightness. For some other tips and apps or even maybe something you haven't thought about check out this thread: G3 Battery Tweaks :good:

Factory reset.
[AT&T LG G3] incognito53:
I noticed my phone was getting warm in the pocket too, with bad battery life. I finally figured out the phone was waking as if it thought it was getting the 'double tap' to wake. I believe you can disable the double tap in the secret menu (3845#*850#)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] FLAWLESSVW:
Hello everyone. Good to be back browsing the forums again!

I'm still within my 14 day exchange period (barely). I need to exchange my phone but I'm rooted (using Towelroot).

1. Will they be able to tell I was rooted? I didn't see anything about KNOX during root process (aside from SuperUserSU# asking if I wanted to try to disable it upon install).

2. If so, will they care? (phone works fine, no "problems" it's an S5 Active and the physical hardware buttons are turning the phone on in my pocket constantly, I'm going to try the standard S5 - I know it's somewhat prone to this but it's not nearly as bad; my wife has S5 and no issues...)

3. Anything I should / could do to avoid any potential issues? I've got system / OTA updates disabled via TB so presumably if I unfreeze and let the phone update itself I'll lose root and return to stock.

4. Has anyone exchanged an AT&T phone (during initial 14 day period)? Any issues or was it painless?

I've only got a day or two left in my exchange period so I'm hoping to get this figured out (my wife has been in the hospital the entire time so I've not had much time).

Thanks in advance for any input and guidance, I do appreciate it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Kenichi:
Just Odin your device with the proper files. There are multiple guides on how to do so. Once you do that, you're golden. I've exchanged within the 14 day and 60 day period of warranty. They do not bat an eye.

Sorry to hear about your wife. I hope she gets well soon.

Kenichi
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] FLAWLESSVW:
Thanks for the reply Kenichi!

I'm glad to hear that this should not be too bad. I've use Odin in the past on previous phones so I'll find the appropriate guide for my situation.

Glad to hear you had good experiences with exchanging (surprised actually!) I'll give AT&T a call today and get the ball rolling. Hoping they'll work something out where they send the new phone and let me send this one back so I'm not completely without a phone during the exchange period?

And thanks for the kind words regarding my wife. I appreciate that!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] iRODiNC:
Ive done it multiple times. Its very simple to do. God bless for your wife. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] dyandell:
I started having problems with others not receiving my text messages. I could receive texts but when I sent a text message it showed that the message was successfully sent but the other party would never receive it. I went to Sprint today after spending all weekend trying to figure out what happened. The tech guys at Sprint said it was Google Voice causing the problems. I disabled Google Voice online and called Sprint to have them remove it from my account. Texting works again. Thinking about it, it seems like the problem started after the Hangout Calls integration. Still not positive that was the problem but so far it seems to have fixed the issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] dcruuuz:
Did you remove the Google Voice app altogether? I was having issues with sending SMS and removing the app allowed me to send them again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] dyandell:
I removed it when the merge for Google Calls came out. I eventually removed Google Calls while trouble shooting but that did not work. I even froze Hangouts with Titanium Backup at one point. I seem to remember reading that you cannot remove Hangouts so I have it on my phone but I signed out of it.
[G3 General] ra535i:
Not not for nothing but turning off google location reporting in "Accounts & sync" turned my phone from a one day phone to a two day phone. Anyone else try this?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brickingout:
Hi all,

I know.

I shouldn't have been messing around with with things I was unsure about, but here we are.

I'm pretty sure its just a soft brick, and a simple fix, but seeing how quickly I broke it in the first place, was hoping someone could hold my hand through the process of fixing it.

I managed to mess it up by deleting bloat-ware manually (to de-clutter) after seeing there was not many stable roms available for the S4 i9506.

Of course what I really deleted were vital applications for the operation of my phone.

It allows me to get into the reboot screen and do a factory reset and all that biz. (See attached photos)

I am aware of Odin (kinda) but just as familiar with it as I was with rooting and deleting "bloat ware" haha.

If someone could point me in the right direction for the correct firmware I need and a tutorial on how to do it, that would be awesome.

Thanks everyone.

Samsung galaxy S4 i9506.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Just flash a stock rom with Odin and you will be fine. If you don't know which one, just pick the latest.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corybucher:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jisoo:
They won't work because you have a locked bootloader which will not allow flashing the required boot.img.

[Omni Q&A] parker09:
As per the title, has development ceased on that style of multi-window? Is the 'Floating Window' similar? With the Nexus 6 rumored to have a 5.9" screen I was hoping that a custom ROM would have something similar to the LG G3 Dual Windows which is great.
[Omni Q&A] Entropy512:
It's been on hold for quite some time. It was about 90% working, but had some final issues that needed work. After further review, xplodwild actually wants to completely rewrite the feature again after reading up on some interesting infrastructure in Android we didn't know about before. (I don't have the link on this machine).

At this point it might not get finalized until L - since L is going to change a LOT of different things.
[Omni Q&A] parker09:
Thanks for the fast response, glad it didn't get abandoned.
[Omni Q&A] Entropy512:
Yeah it's something I've wanted to finish up but didn't have time. The last issues with the patch proved significantly more difficult/time-consuming to solve than expected. Namely:

1) Layout in some apps is totally broken. G+ is the most obvious example of this. As a result we're probably going to have to implement a whitelist similar to Samsung's multiwindow. (Apps won't work unless whitelisted by the frameworks or the app declares itself as compatible in the manifest. We'll likely use the same manifest declarations Samsung does, e.g. assume any app compatible with Samsung's multiwindow should be compatible with ours.

2) Re-layout of apps after a rotation was really flaky. This is the #1 reason plodey wants to do a rewrite. He's been buried in a special project for a while, he was supposed to be wrapping up in September but that schedule seems to have slipped.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lin013190:
Anyone having issues with power button being stuck? When I press the power button, it often gets stuck and phone reboots because of it. It's happened over 15 times today... It's getting quite annoying. I didn't spill anything or drop the phone, the power button just sticks and I have to keep pressing to get it unstuck... The volume buttons are fine though.

:rolleyes:
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
No problem here. If it were me, I would get the device replaced.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skippy214:
Mine just started this.

Last night I noticed my screen wasn't turning off after pressing the power button. All it would do was act like I was holding the power button with the intention of turning the phone off. one time it actually did turn off. This sucks. I'll be going by the Verizon store next time it happens. (because the phone is behaving completely normal right now)
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob342:
has anyone found a solution to this?

i just received this phone as a motocare replacement for one with a cracked screen. it feels like they sent me a refurbished one someone spilled soda on. i kinda feel like a jerk sending it right back, but the constant resetting sure is annoying! i'm ready to send the phone in, but would much prefer to fix it myself if there's a way to do it. any way to fix it?

edit: nevermind. i sent it back. they sent it like this, they can deal with it. i'm afraid if i mess with it, i'll kill the warranty. still 100% love the phone and can't wait to get it back!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] nahguam:
Hi,

I have the Vario II and I would like to upgrade my radio to 1.20 and I've been reading the wiki and various posts here to learn about it. I followed the instructions to check my bootloader version (side OK + Power then pressed Yes onscreen). That worked and I see that have v1.04 - great. The instruction said use stylus to load windows normally but nothing on the bootloader (3 colour) screen or any buttons did anything so I took the battery off and on again.

WM5 boots fine but now but I cannot get into the bootloader again to do pof's SuperCID or the radio 1.20 upgrade. It just turns off when I do a side OK + Power + press Yes.

can anyone help?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] vijovame:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] nahguam:
D'oh, my bad. I thought "press reset with stylus" meant press Yes... I didn't realise the recessed reset button existed until now! Had it said "push in" rather than press I might have been quicker off the mark. Oops.

Is it normal that the camera seems to move a bit when you're holding the G3 still taking a picture.

Not sure how to describe it, seems like the image I'm seeing on the camera app is bouncing very slowly when holding camera still.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonzaTheChosenOne:
It is because of the OIS. It stabilizes the camera, so that is why it seems that the picture is moving.
[XDA Assist] leroy1985:
hi id like to install the cynagenmod, so im using a samsung galaxy s2 gt i9100p its on android 4.1.2, i also had to use the galaxsim unlock to unlock the phone and wanted to know if this will effect anything and if theres anything i should be aware of before atempting to flash my phone with this rom, i also find it hard to find the easiest beginer friendly guides tbh, when i search there just seems to be so many and all with differnt ways of doing it

so can i just have some advice before starting? thx

these are the things im worried about

WARNING

Some second-generation Samsung Exynos devices are potentially susceptible to a "superbrick" caused by performing a factory reset with the stock kernel, which effectively kills the internal memory in the device. It is highly recommended you do not perform this operation while using a stock kernel for safety reasons. To make sure you aren't running the stock kernel (only needed when coming from the stock ROM), fully install CM without performing a factory reset and reboot to recovery before you perform the factory reset.

WARNING:

If you used a non-official method to remove a provider lock, your /efs partition may become corrupt! It is highly recommended you make a backup of this for safe keeping before attempting to modify your device, especially if you plan to remove such a lock.

is the galaxsim unlock what this is referring to? because i used that to unlock my phone? and the first warning is my phone a samsung Exynos, mines a galaxy s2 i9100p, so this doesnt aply to me does it?

You pre order the note 4 and at the same time trade in any smartphone valued at over $10. To T-Mobile or wherever. Upload those receipts to the Samsung promo website and they mail you a card for the difference between the value T-Mobile gave you and $200.

In the small print at the bottom of the Samsung offer page: https://samsunggalaxypromotions.com/Note4/ it says "Limit three Offer claims per household."
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iunlock:
Just to confirm that I'm comprehending this correctly, the site says:

"Trade in any working smartphone at a participating retailer (minimum $10 trade in value)."

"....get a guaranteed total trade-in of $200 on any working smartphone."

Then it says:

". If you submit a valid Offer claim within the time period, you will receive a check equal to the difference of $200 less the trade-in value of your eligible working smartphone."

What do they mean by "eligible?"

1. Does it have to be an Android OS smart phone? Or can it be a generic OS like those throwaway smart phones at the store?

2. Do you need the charger? Or just the phone itself?

If all holds true, I'm able to trade in my old piece of crap 'working' Sprint smart phone (it's not even Android, but it's a smartphone) to receive a $10 trade in + a check/card for $190 from Samsung?

If this is what I think it is....why would someone NOT take advantage of this amazing offer? LOL...

interesting; I've called my 3 local stores and most dont have any yet, and one said "even if I had them, I am not allowed to sell them b4 the kick off date"

When I asked if the kick off date could be moved up from the 17th, none of them could answer.

I bet most stores will get them Monday, since they probably shipped out the store orders at the same time they shipped out all of the pre-orders, or at least the ones that have shipped already.

my "regular" sales guy isnt in today, but I know he will sell me one if they are there

The truth is, I have a M8 now, which is a super phone as well, so if I have to wait until the 17th or even later, I'm not "suffering" from any phone withdrawal, the way about 80% of the folks posting here now a days seem to be afflicted with.

I'm actually thinking about waiting a couple extra days, in case the initial run of phones has some bug that wasn't discovered before they moved up the shipping/production for many carriers, I.E. T-mobile by a few days.
