[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ril2:
Hi, I really need some help and I couldn't find anywhere.

My i9300 (probably > ) ran out of battery, I charged it, and when I turned it on, it seemed like it has been factory reset. I noticed that there is a black square in the middle of the screen with a lot of yellow text information about the device, I searched it online and found out my phone was stuck at factory mode. So I followed a tutorial telling me to download a root file explorer (I used ES) and change a file called factorymode from OFF to ON (not the other way around) and then restart the device. I did so and restarted the device and it seemed to have gone out of factory mode but now it somehow had factory reset and all of my data is gone! every app, contact, media etc. is gone and I'm really scared that I have done something wrong.

Is there anything I can do?

Thanks in advance! And sorry for my bad english :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
No. If you let the battery run out then partition corruption can wipe your data, system or efs.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordEnlil:
Hello,

I've purchased Galaxy Note 3 (SM-9005 Model) From Italy.

The device was locked to europe only,

but they have removed the lock by making a call for 5 minutes with their european SIM.

The phone is now unlocked for me and works, I can make calls etc.

I would like to Hard Reset the phone or change it's ROM,

but I'm afraid it will be locked again.

Do you know if it would stay Unlocked or not?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordEnlil:
Bump.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
Nobody can guarantee you anything, but:

1) before writing a custom ROM be 100% certain you have a full backup of the "sensitive" partitions!!!

2) if the region unlock becomes your only problem you might be able to fix that again by either using an EU SIM or by writing to Samsung and asking for a code (there is a thread which has more details on it, Samsung Germany are by far the most professional and helpful from all of Samsung representatives in EU, ideally write them in German even just using Google translate). If you originally had a network unlock then things might be more complex (but I doubt that is the case since a network unlock code would also fix regional unlock) and if you (or the custom ROM) messes with the modem or other sensitive partitions you are your own and only specific backups of those can save you in an effective way.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BubbaRob1978:
Just got my new M8. What rooting process should I follow with 4.4.2? I have not upgraded to 4.4.3 as of yet. Not sure how this affects my rooting process. Can I just flow the rooting guide here?

Thanks,

Rob
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] adavit:
If all you want is root you should stay on 4.4.2 since that's the only way to keep temp root (weaksauce) without going through the whole unlock boot loader unlock s-off method. If you do want to go that route instead, if you stay on 4.4.2 there might be a slim possibility you can unlock and s-off for free using the firewater method. Other wise you will have to pay $25 for sunshine (from the same developer as weak sauce and firewater) and that is guaranteed to get you s-off and unlocked. If you do update the only way to s-off and unlock will be the sunshine method. Hopefully this helps you out in making your decision :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BubbaRob1978:
Thanks for the crazy fast reply. My goal is to root, and have the ability to install custom ROM's. I haven't rooted since the OG Droid/Thunderbolt days so I'm a little rusty. I'll look through the rooting guide here. I just don't want to brick my new phone..:D I think I'll be good to go once I know where to start in the guide.

Rob
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] brholt6:
Definitely try the firewater method first on 4.4.2 (if it works, donate if/what you can). If it doesn't work, you can take the OTA but I wouldn't recommend ever taking OTAs. I haven't used sunshine but I've heard it works amazingly and it's super easy...well worth the $25. If Firewater does work, updating to the newer firmware is a breeze too.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Here's a tip... After you do the adb reboot and before you run firewater open the weak sauce app on your phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Kane5581:
If you aren't super hard up for cash just do Sunshine, I tried firewater for like 6 hours, Sunshine takes 6 minutes. Just buy it, install and hit go. Well worth the $25.

I use 'ES File Explorer 3' to browse files, including those on my NAS. It works well, except that podcast files are just shown as the uninformative filenames, rather than the actual podcast title.

Is there a file browser that shows podcast titles, rather (or in addition to) the filenames, please?

[Off-topic] tangosierra_:
Hi,

not sure if this is the appropriate place to post this Q (first time asking such stuff), if it's not greatly appreciated if it could be moved to the correct section.

my family and I will be flying to the USA for 18 days from Singapore next month. I have various commitments and urgent matters to attend to even while overseas hence the need to stay connected. it's a road trip from Seattle to SFO and we'll be mostly staying overnight in small towns and national parks. I would require a prepaid sim from a carrier that at least gets me 2G data coverage in rural areas (I understand some areas are simply out of coverage though, but I should be at least getting reception in towns). I'm on a Asian model Nexus 5 but might be getting the new N6 US model if it's appealing to me (band restriction doesn't apply to me since I'm not using lte back home, so far both US and rest of wood models are compliant with the bands my network uses back home) just for some additional info.

any input would be greatly appreciated. I tried googling but it seems the process is rather complicated (you can't just walk into a store and get a sim, or so I read) and th data allowance isn't a lot. I'll be there for 18 days, mainly in towns and travelling on state highways, imagine myself using maybe between 1-2GB of data on the trip, maybe slightly less if I restrict myself to whatsapp and email as much as possible.

thanks!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] dood:
Just a quick simple question really..

Is there such a thing as some kinda software diagnostic tool for HTC handsets.. especially one for my S110.

Something that would maybe plug into the USB socket and display results on a PC etc.

Does such a thing exist?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Carty:
What diagnosis do you need?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] dood:
Well, I know that my phone is knacked.. as it keeps losing signal.. something I have been posting about on another thread. It did get me thinking if it were possible to diagnose hardware error / faults in maybe the same way as PCs have programs that can dignose port problem, disc errors, memory problems etc.

Just interested!

[Nexus 9 General] IRKONIK:
DAMMIT! No word about expandable memory.

I was sick of the 16GB of my Nexus 10 when I got it, and I still can't get over the fact that they've deiliberatly crippled a device which you, pretty much, only use for media consumption. Yeah, sure, Murica has pretty kewl streaming services, but the majority of the rest of the world still does not. Even if I'd pay for netflix, I can only watch it from inside the US! Ergo, travelling, especially by plane, makes it near impossible to stay entertained!

I can use about 8GB for movies. Wait, a movie is easily over 12GB (1080p).

So now, everywhere I go, I have to use this corsair usb stick, just because somebody didn't think this through - again.

Yeah, I know, micro sd cards have their problems with Android, and how the system has to set up a server to transfer media files onto it while still being able to read the storage, but DAMMIT GOOGLE! DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! Leaving it out is not a proper solution for a problem!

"Oh, these seats are really hard to implement in the car, so you are a) safe and sound in accidents and b) get in and out of them without any problems. Let's leave them out - who needs them anyways. Plenty of nice office chairs around! With a bit of rope and a nice knot.. and it's not like they don't have wheels on them!.. yeah.. who needs seats in a car!"

Seriously Google. Do something.

This sounds more "ranty" than I would like, but dammit! They ruin it every time.

I was really looking forward to this device, since the Nvidia Shield Tablet was such an extreme failure. Looks like I'll have to keep looking for an 8" - 8.9" tablet with a decent display, decent CPU and expandable memory that is not complete garbage. (à la ipad - or one of those ipad knockoffs.)

Cheers. Literally.

This may be a stupid question, but does OTG mean you can use it as storage for more apps and stuff? Or is it something else?

Otg is on the go and refers to being able to use a memory stick on your phone or device. Usually referred to as OTG USB

Funny to see everyone complaining about a tax below 10%.

Here in Austria we pay 20% tax for everything that isn't a basic food (10%), regardless to where we buy it, even for the shipment.

Btt: Nexus 9 will be my first tablet, after pre-ordering and cancelling the white version I pre-ordered the 16GB black version, because I fear the white version won't stay very clean and white for a long time.

PlayStore

324.50€ without taxes

7.99€ shipping

66.50€ taxes

--------------

398.99€

Will leave the shipping centre on November 3rd.

[Nexus 9 General] MadMax:
What JD said was correct. OTG stands for On The Go, and you can buy a OTG cable and plug in devices like memory sticks, computer mouse and keyboards, and if I remember correct, android L is going to allow usb audio (dont quote me on that). The USB stick that is in that picture is just with the Micro USB on one end the the full on the other so you don't need the OTG cable, as it is built in
[Nexus 9 General] USBhost:

its the LED light

[Nexus 9 General] aamir123:
It's a great tablet on paper but they have had issues with build quality, wifi and software updates have been shoddy. Software is not very well optimized, simple apps are incompatible, people have reported lags, and screen flickering etc. Wifi is very poor for some. I had it for about a month and I really wanted to keep it but got cracks on the sides of the device which is a known problem. Kinda disappointed since that tablet had everything I wanted. Now the the Nexus 9 is enticing but limited storage is a problem, hope they drop a 64 gb version.

This would surprise me. I'm no retail world expert, but i think it will be too soon after release. IF it happens, I would think it would be a pretty small discount. Now if you're willing to wait 13 months, NEXT black Friday will... wait, that's nuts.

??
[Nexus 9 General] roninmedia:
I'm not sure what kind of deals we will be seeing on the Nexus 9 if I wait till Black Friday. :(

I'm pretty sure based on prior history that many retailers will be offering about a $100 gift card with a purchase of an iPad Air 2. (The iPad Air had those Black Friday deals when it had a release date of 11/1/2013). I can't remember the Nexus 10 having any good Black Friday offers, but I'm hoping that some retailers may offer a similar deal on the Nexus 9 (MSRP + $100 gift card) as they do on iPads.

One thing that's been hyped up in this tablet is it's Tegra SoC which supposedly has a wonderful and insanely fast GPU.

I was shocked to say the least when I fired up The Room 2 on both my Galaxy Tab S and my Nexus 9.

Screenshots below:

Nexus 9: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4iKrFCkRQiWTDE5U3REUXBNTEU/view?usp=sharing

Tab S: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4iKrFCkRQiWeWREX2MtRGdMdGs/view?usp=sharing

The overall quality of the game on the Tab S is miles ahead of the Nexus 9. Better textures, motion blur, depth of field etc, and it even has a weaker GPU. What the f is going on?

Didn't know where to post this though, so bear with me.
[Nexus 9 General] FrankBullitt:
The problem is not the GPU power, its the game itself that is not using the highest resolution and textures. Same thing with games like Real Racing 3 where you have to "force" the high resolution and higher quality textures by "tricking" the game to think its using another platform.

The GPU power is brutal, that is assured.
