[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cerobles1:
So I tried to ask this question on the ROM thread without any help, hoping to get some help here. So I have an AT&T version runnin this ROM, 5.4 version I believe. my issue is that my govenor custom settings keep going back to default settings upon reboot. I'm using SetCPU to change the setings, and have also checked he checkbox to keep settings after reboot. i read somewhere that there is a file that has the dfault settings and this file's name and location can vary by phone.

Has anyone attempted to do this and how did you do it? does anyone know if this file exist in the S5 and if so where would it be? what app is everyone using to change this setings? TIA

Hi,

I just ported my friends Metro PCS Samung Galaxy S4 to AT&T and get no data. Would flashing to the official TMobile rom get it to work or a custom rom work better? I tried to research earlier and saw that AT&T uses more bands and will get less coverage for data but so far she has gotten no data anywhere. Thanks!

I had bought a brand new Note 2 .... signal absolutely sucked when a HTC device sitting right next to it had 4 bars .

Warrantied the device with another brand new device. Signal still sucked. Then shortly after the wifi would turn dark green but would fail to initiate. But it didnt happen that much. as time went by it got worse and worse until it wouldnt turn on at all . Now I have no wifi . Punching the device seemed to fix it when it first began now it does nothing. Took the thing apart checked the wifi antenna its connected just fine.

Now the signal is completely dropping out . Everyday a new problem arises.

Im done with samsung. Going back to HTC when I get some dough . I NEVER had any hardware trouble with HTC.

Sorry just ranting here.

And before you say its just my device. Google galaxy wifi wont turn on . or wifi button dark green . I've found the same issue galaxy line wide.

:eek: 2 brand new devices in a row both failed. To me atleast means samsung hardware build quality is garbage .

I will be honest every manufacture whether it's Samsung, micrisoft, apple, or any in between like HTC or LG can and will occasionally have a hardware problem with a phone.

I've had 3 bad devices. A refurbished GS4g, 2× MT4G's (1new 1 refurb), and a Nexus 7 that has screen the ghost touches like crazy since Asus replaced a broken screen. Some devices are good, some not. My repeat POS was HTC. I won't get one due to bootloader shenanigans vs build quality. They were rotten about development stuff vs Samsung.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Some_dude36:
Well , imho build quality is suspect at BEST when you replace a brand new faulty product with another BRAND NEW faulty product.

The odds of getting 2 identical brand new devices in a row with faulty hardware is astronomical . Anyone can get a faulty device. When you have 2 in a row that are brand new with a documented problem that is parroted accross the internet is not a random occurance.

I've had HTC phones bust into pieces from impacts and when I reassembled them they still worked like a charm . Not to say there are no faulty HTC devices . But if I look at this samsung too long it develops another problem .

I had a t539 samsung beat back in the day . Same thing . Wasnt even a smart phone . just cheap , if you set it down too hard it would malfunction . This is my opinion of their garbage build quality . hence *MY* in the title.

I had 4 htc hd 2's , a mytouch 3g , mytouch 4 g and 3 mytouch 4gslides NEVER EVER A PROBLEM . vs EVERY SINGLE samsung device I've ever owned.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] erica_renee:
This really should be in the OFF TOPIC Thread.. But since its not i will say one thing. And its what everyone else i think says about Samsung. There Devices seem to hold up will with normal use. Get Decent Battery Life. But when you get a bad one .. its BAD.. Two in a roll bad from sending in to service. This is actually VERY Likely. The device replacement they send you back is a Return/ SO CALLED Refurbish. Had this Issue with my Nexus 7 and ASUS. Anyway the issue with samsung is lack of Proper updates and fixes.. They will get around to patching a serious issue only to create 3 others..

GOOD LUCK . THE GRASS is not always greener on the other side... Yes i am upset at samsung as well But starting a (BAD WORD HERE)Thread is NOT going to get you help.. Put your frustrations to Samsung. Spam there face crap page and email... or something like that..

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] calexchelse:
Really dude. Every one has stories like that where one replacement after the other was bad. After 4 straight replacement HTC One S phones, my wife went with the note 2. I work at a call center where I see that every day. The chances are not astronomical, people have the same story every day. But, there is a reason HTC is struggling to remain relevant in the Android world, and I'll leave that alone.

And I'll leave you all with this, beware if you rice is moving.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] jonling:
Here is my problem with Google Play Music. On my S5 and 10.1 2014 Google Play Music keeps starting in the background. I can close it and in 10 seconds to 3 minutes it starts again. I uninstalled it on the S5. Before doing so on the 2014 I thought I would see if anyone else is having this problem. I put a shortcut for Active Apps on my desktops. This makes it more noticeable as I see that it is in the background all the time.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] buhohitr:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] DJsCrIBbLe:
Its a real shame manufacturers are doing this. Rooting and having control over YOUR phone is what android is about.... I don't even flash Roms anymore but as the owner of my device I expect root permissions to at least backup apps and other minor little perks. Might give the N4 a try but keep my s4 as a backup if I can't handle no root down the road... Real bummer this situation is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Nexii:
It not really manufacturers like Samsung, but more like carriers like AT&T.

Sorry I meant carrier :/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] freebee269:
Again I want to point out that if the note 4 gets root before at&t updates their note 4 to android 5.0 then you have a choice to make. Do you want to keep root and stay on android 4.4.4 or update to 5.0. With root you can freeze the at&t updater app so you don't have to worry about at&t trying to force you to update. This is why root at this time is much more important than unlocking bootloader. Most of the time root comes before bootloader unlock anyways because it's much less work. But again this is Dependant on getting root first. If we get no root before 5.0 then it won't matter because then we'll just be down to unlocking the bootloader.

Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.

Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for [ROM][Kernel]Vanilla AOSP 4.4.4 for VZW m7. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.

Downgrade the twrp to a 2.7.0.x build. CM changed how they build Roms and most recovery devs updated their builds to adapt to the new standard leaving legacy Roms to suffer.

RE: [ROM][Kernel]Vanilla AOSP 4.4.4 for VZW m7

Just wanted to thank the developers for this build. It's still the cleanest and provides the best battery life of all the newer ROMs I've tried.

Too bad I made an account just for this, and the developer has stuck me in Q & A because I have less than 10 posts.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickfurlo:
I've been having these 2 issues for a while now and I have a feeling they may be connected.

Both issues happened with stock and with paranoid android. I thought that Greenify was the culprit because they seemed to go away for awhile after I uninstalled it but both issues returned at about the same time.

Basic Info:

LG G2 VS980

paranoid android 4.4

rooted

xposed

Issue 1: Screen

My screen will sometimes not turn on. Neither the power button or knock on will work. It seems completely random when it will and wont turn on. The notification light will shine if I have a notification but the screen itself wont turn on. I can usually turn it on again if I wait a few or minutes or if I restart the device by holding down the power button.

Issue 2: Keyboard

I will open an app (hoverchat, chrome, snapchat, ect) and they keys will respond to my touch and the spell checker will show what I'm typing but nothing will show up in the text box. If I type nonsense eventually some of it will show up and I can continue typing. Clearing the data and cache of the keyboard didnt help. Usually I have to quit and reopen the app a few times in order to be able to type.

This happens with every keyboard I have tried. I am currently using Android L Keyboard (I think it got removed from play).

Both of these issues are incredibly frustrating and I would love any help anyone can offer. Thanks guys!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the9kill:
Hi guys,

New to XDA, I have a Note 2 which was getting a bit sluggish but worked fine, I rooted and custom flashed TWRP and saved a NANDROID BACKUP using TWRP to SDCARD and kept that on the desktop for safe keeping.

The phone worked fine after that for some time, Now spontaneously I woke up in the morning with the phone stuck on the samsung logo screen, so i knew it was softbricked but i cant understand how that happened.

First thing i tried apart from multiple restarts, removing battery etc, was then boot into custom recovery TWRP and try and restore from SDCARD nandroid backup. But it says EVERYTHING CAN'T be mounted!

E: Unable to find partition size for '/boot''

E: Unable to find partition size for '/recovery'

E: Unable to find partition size for '/modem'

E: Primary block device '/dev/block/mmcb1k0p16' for mount point '/data' is not present!

unable to mount '/data', EFS, System, cache and so forth.....

The phone was sincerely working fine and this happened seemingly randomly while asleep. Phone hadnt dropped and was connected to charger, and prior to this was restarted several times with no issues.

I have been looking at endless articles, I changed to CWM, TWRP, Philz and Stock Recovery and ALL OF THEM are unable to mount. So this does NOT seem to be a problem in the recovery. I used TWRP 2.8.0.1 for my Note 2 as well as 2.7.0.1. So I have a perfect NANDROID RESTORE on my SDCARD and DESKTOP to fix this but no way of mounting it to recovery?

Odin works fine and each time i flashed the recovery it would work fine. Is there some way of fixing it with ODIN?

Any input here would be greatly appreciated, and hopefully this helps someone else with the exact same issue.

Cheers.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceomaverick:
It is possible that your Nandroid Backup is corrupt. It happens. Also, as you tried everything, I think you should flash fresh stock rom via odin.

Press thumps up if you found this suggestion helpful.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the9kill:
Hi ceomaverick,

Thanks for replying so fast, I may have not explained clearly but, the NANDROID BACKUP should be fine, its on the SD but cant be seen by any of the Recoverys (TWRP,CWM,stock,Philz) because nothing is able to MOUNT. So whether or not the nandroid backup is corrupt doesnt matter because we cant use it yet, as first problem is mounting to use the custom recovery restore.

Thanks for the suggestion about the Stock ROM , I have been downloading that for the past few hours! (XME-N7100XXUFNI4-20141020155451.zip) haha! That is what I will try next via Odin, just not sure how to do it safely. I will try and google and article for re-flashing stock rom via odin to make sure i tick all the correct boxes. If anything works will be back to update.

Cheers

P.s If anyone is interested in looking for this phones Stock ROM I found it here:

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceomaverick:
Well, no hassle really. ODIN 3.09 does a great job. Just dump your file in AP tab and start after MD5 is verified. You should be fine. Welcome.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the9kill:
Bad news, Odin failed halfway through. Was able to boot back into download mode thankfully. But after rebooting again, seems the phone is now HardBricked. Meaning it wont even turn on.

Not sure what options are left now (if any). Anyone know what to do with a Note 2 hardbrick (apart from use it as an expensive door wedge).

Cheers
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceomaverick:
This should not happen unless the cable or the usb ports are faulty. ( or if u have not followed the instructions correctly )

Anyway,

Can u still go to download mode? If yes, try a different cable and flash.

If no, use a USB jig to revive your phone. Ebay has them in plenty. With this you might get into download mode.

Also, are u flashing the correct firmware?

I have flashed custom ROMs n number of times without a single instance of failure.

Best of luck.
