I left it in rice overnight with no success. Gonna keep trying it. Definitely no doubt water got inside of it.

Now I bought the phone in July of last year so warranty is up.

I have insurance on it but have to pay $150 to get it replaced
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
Where do live? I live in the UK and have a 2 year warranty. Europe also has a 2 year statutory warranty by law. Maybe try contacting Sony to check the warranty expiry date before doing anything else.

If not, you need to leave it in the rice for a few days at least if not a week.

Good luck. :)

It was working fine after few mints lcd suddenly blinks and brightness getting dim. I was worried that what's wrong I turned my phone off. After few mints I turned it on to check what happened. When I turn on the same thing happened screen blinking and getting dim and slowly getting very dim like I was unable to read my texts and contacts as well. I turned off again and turned on and its completely black out.

I am worried, Please help me out. The Phone charging perfectly, Everything working but I am unable to see becuase brightness is totally blackout.

Hello,

So a couple months ago I used Towelroot to root my phone. But now I can't perform an OTA update. Anyone know how to undo the root? I used Root checker and it says I am no longer rooted. Here is some info about my phone:

- 4.4.2

- Kernel: 3.4.0 (July 17th)

Anyone have any ideas on how to undo what Towelroot did?

Thank you, I will follow these instructions. I have sort of an off topic question. If I use Odin to go back to stock, will my apps be there? I am concerned because I have a bunch of sites that I use two step authentication for (Google Authenticator app). Will the app be there with the data when I perform this Odin stock installation?

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidstre:
Odin makes the phone like new, fresh out of the box. Unless it is backed up to Google, anything that didn't come with the phone, won't be on the phone.

You could use an app like titanium to back up your phones current state, odin back to stock, update, root, and restore via titanium.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberpodS2:
I use titanium backup religiously and like 99℅ of my apps are restored intact. Specifically Facebook and the Google authenticator both restore as you left them. Funny thing is I have been using the same TB data files for the last three phones. Pretty much all good to go and I flash new Roms ALL The TIME. Lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elliwigy:
yup.. tibu is your friend. pretty sure tibu needs root tho so hed hafta reroot the device.. he really shouldnt mess with root if he doesnt know how to go back stock lol

once you flash tar in odin in order to root you needa go back to a rootable firmware then flash new firmware in odin etc lol. i recommend just flashing a updated stock rom through safestrap then flash new firmware only through odin.. all after a backup of course

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EricAndreR:
Hello!

I have a quick question, I was searching around the web but still can't find how to identify the original ROM pre installed on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

I know that my device was made in Canada because is the version SM N900W8. And I had installed a ROM that I downloaded from sammobile.(Information added in the attachment), I upgrade it manually to the Android Version 4.4.3 and didn't save the information of the original one and at this very moment I'm having an issue with the "Android: GPS - Continuous Scanning or Unable to Fix/Lock Location". I tried solutions as http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2612757 but as far as I know this is related directly with the ROM that I had currently installed. I tried searching with the IMEI on http://www.imei.info/ and http://swappa.com/ but nothing related directly with the original ROM. Probably I'm missing some information regardless with the carrier that was made for, I'm currently located in Bogotá, Colombia.

Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:

Install Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app and check for the 'Original CSC Code' in the CSC INFO section.

If that doesn't help, I will show you another solution.

Thank you so much for the reply. Great application +5 recommended. But it only shows me the information that I currently have installed (Trinidad y Tobago ROM) [Information Attached]- It had pre installed some ROM for a Canadian carrier, but for mistake I didn't save the information of it. What is the alternative method to double check what was the original one?

Well, I work for HTC and in the tool that we use here. That is possible, it shows you all the information about the device. Baseband, rom version, date of installation, kernel source, lenght of download OTA. I tried to contact Samsung with out any good response for security policies.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
It depends on how you installed the rom. Sometimes the Original CSC remains and can be obtained with Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app.

Ok try another way: install Kies, connect your phone to PC, go to Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Initialization, enter your Model name, then S/N. Kies will show you original firmware information.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EricAndreR:
Thank you! Question Resolved.

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate this. That was the information that I was looking for, now I know that my device is not from Canada, it was TELCEL Mexico, by the way is the same variant of the note 3 on Canada. :fingers-crossed::good: Now I hope I can fix the glitch with the GPS. (with the original ROM). I'm hoping now if the SIM unlock will remain if I do the forware upgrade and initialization from Kies.

Turn off your phone, then press Volume Down + Bixby Button + Power button once for 4 seconds.

A blue screen will appear saying that do not flash non original firmware, press Volume Up.

A screen will come up saying at the top "ODIN MODE".

In this screen, you have some information about your device, but the one that we are intrested is a red line "CARRIER_ID: XXX"

That ID is your CSC code, no matter what firmware you install it on. Mine is PAN - the original - even though i currently have DBT installed.

[P3600 General] falex:
Hi everyone,

Orange France say that the HSDPA is open in Paris and suburbs.

A few month ago I've made some HSDPA test with a PCMCIA HSDPA car and I was having some incredible speed (about 1Mbit/sec) in Boulogne-Billancourt (wich was the experimental coverage).

This week-end I take my Trinity in Boulogne and when I take a look to the fieldtest program HSDAP tab, the CQI was >than 0.

But when I try the speed access, the max I've got was about 112KBit/sec.

So If I believe the speed test I'm in the average of the 3G access and if I believe the FielTest Program I should be in HSDPA coverage.

And the speed isn't in correlation with waht I test a few month ago.

- In different which speed did you observe in a HSDPA coverage ?

- For Orange FR user, which max speed did you observe with your Trinity ?

- Did the Trinity need to "enable" the HSDPA behaviour ?

falex
[P3600 General] Super Sheep:
Hello !

I'm located in Puteaux (La Défense) just in front of the Seine river, near Suresne. I can perform a few test, can you tell me what to do ? ;)

I have a SPV M700, and the option "plus d'internet" for the data.
[P3600 General] falex:
Go to the web page : www.dslreports.com/mspeed?jisok=1

Test with 50K, 100K, 200K and 600K and report the spped measure.

After we could debate about if the HSDPA is active or not inside this mobile phone.
[P3600 General] Super Sheep:
Should I download them direct with the SPV ?

If yes which download app do you suggest I use ?

Edit : I have had a short look on the page and therefore did a few test at work (Montreuil, near Porte de Vincenne)

The results are not very significant : I got rate from 54 up to 112, with different sizes (600 : 54/103 ; 200 : 106/112 ; 100 : 69/66)
[P3600 General] falex:
Ok SO you've got the same result as I've got this week-end at Boulogne ands Paris 17 AND :mad: the same as I can test at Rennes which is not HSDPA covered.

I'm very confused with this announcement.

I know that Boulogne is in HSDPA and we can't get the correct speed so I4ve got two questions :

- Is the SPV M700 HSDPA enable ?

- Is there a restriction on Orange which "block" the HSDPA field if you don't have an option like "TV Live HD" ?
[P3600 General] TouTaFon:
how do you know you're connected on HSDPA network?

is there a "3G+" logo displayed on the phone?

and does anyone try an edge connexion? is an "E" displayed?
[P3600 General] Super Sheep:
At home, with the 600 kB one I got 110...

I think my HSDPA is enabled, because in the extended rom, there's a "hsdpa /enable" in the tasklist...
[P3600 General] bebaer:
To have 3G+ speed, you must normalky have a special option : it costs 4€/months (5 € with SFR)

When you tried some months before, it was experiment , test without the need of this option.

With "total TV HD" you don't have especially access to 3G+, because it works with 3G

In Paris, 3G or 3G+ is saturated because everybody has a 3G phone, so the speed is very slow :(
[P3600 General] falex:
When you read the Announcement about the HSDPA opeing in Paris (and in the next at Lille and Nantes) they do not write about an option to enable HSDPA.
[P3600 General] bebaer:
I know, but if you go to orange-business , you can see that to have 3G+ access , it's only for "business everywhere clients" with 3G+ pc card or 3G+ icon usb modem.

Option is 4 € H.T. and free for some months...

They will open 3G+ for private users soon...I don't know, how they will do with 3G+ option.

During experiment, people could try HSDPA free in Lab'Orange in June and Later "TV HD" with Samsung Z560 in september-october before the commercial launch in november.

By the way, they are late in opening 3G+ in Lille and Nantes...They promised to do it for december...

SFR has already converted all 3G to 3G+ (65% of population covered)...Orange is one year too late...because they covered 95% people with EDGE...that is not a bad choice, because most od people have only an EDGE Phone now...
[P3600 General] rfmanganaro:
Hi Falex,

Your problem of speed is normal, infect the HSDPA trughput is "best effort".

It is dependent on how many users are in the cell (if alone you get an example 1.3 Mbit/sec, with another user simoultaniosly you will get half of the speed)!Not only the number of users connected but also the CQI value is important, an exampleif your CQI is low (ex.10) than you will switch to QPSK witch provide lower troughput than 16 qam (good CQI), so if the CQI is low you will have lower troughput as your radio conditions (coverage are lower).

Also the network dimensioning is important. The only way to improve is by optimize/expand the network, and i belive that this probably is allready on the Orange next months target.If you terminal is qualcomm 6280, than your calss is CAT 6 (you can arrive to 3 Mbit/sec in DL if network support). I have the same chipset and here in my network i allready saw that speed on the DUmeter!.
[P3600 General] falex:
Thanks for everyone to answer this post.

SO if I sum'up, when I've done the test with the lab'Orange late June 2006 it was only a test and only the sim car provided by the tet was able to get HSDPA DL speed and field.

Know I understand that like EDGE, HSDPA DL speed depends on how many users use the radio a one moment. But nowadays there is a little few user and mobile or PC Card HSDPA enable, so what I'm thinking is that HSDPA is not available on Orange Network for common user, unlike you subscribe to an "HSDPA option".

I'll call the Customer center today to ask them there point of view about this question.

One more strange things : I'm located in Rennes during the week, I'm 3G covered and when I take a look to the CQI field I've got the same figures ???!!!??? And I've got the same DL speed as I4ve got at Paris or Boulogne.

I'll check my Extended Rom to see if there is the HSDPA /enable task.
[P3600 General] bebaer:
If think that the SPV M700 is HSDPA enable!

The chip is qualcomm 6275 , so only 1,8 mbits/s speed is available , not 3,6 mbits/s

In any case, Orange France network is only at 1,8 mbits/s for the moment.

SFR is going to 3,6 now...They have one year advance in 3G/3G+ than Orange...because they choose to not make an EDGE network at beginning...

It's normal to have the same DL speed in 3G in Rennes and in Paris ;)

Call the Customer Service, they will say you how to subscribe 3G+/HSDPA that has nothing to do for example with "TV HD" (normally)
[P3600 General] falex:
Yep, I've check the extended ROM and therer is in the config file the "SetHSDPA \Enable" command and in the "\Windows\" directory the program setHSDPA is present.

Now how can I check the task ? (I'm a beginner, before I was a Palm User :-))

Ok I'll ask the Customer center.

Just for my point of view SFR has made a mistake to not go Edge because when you are outside the 3G area you are happy when you can surf with the Edge speed instead of the GPRS speed.

About this did you have an Map with the Edge coverage from SFR ? I looking after this for month and month and I found nothing ...

Hey guys. Is there a thread or list of bloatware app that are safe to remove? Looking for a list of the apps (maybe what they do) so I know what NOT to disable/remove.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] evll:
I needed an interval timer for my at-home cardio workouts. In the past I enjoyed doing video workouts (Insanity and similar), but after doing one workout for a few times, I noticed that those videos start to annoy me.

All existing free interval timers allow performing only simple workouts, where all rest and work times are equal, or use a complicated interface which makes creation of advanced routines extremely painful.

So I decided to create a new free app, which uses simple text files for routine storage. You can upload a file on your phone using Dropbox, Bluetooth, USB cable or anything else that is convenient to you. You can even create a text file directly on your phone.

In addition to complete flexibility in workout planning, the following features are present:

★ play, pause, reset

★ displaying of the current and the next activity

★ speaking activity names aloud (you need to setup a TTS engine in your phone's options)

★ interval end sound

★ routine end sound

★ calculation of total routine time.

Please check out this app on Google Play (free): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=zev.flexibleintervaltimer

I hope that usage of files is not too complicated, if you give it a chance, you will notice how much faster you can create a workout.

Of course, any feedback would be very appreciated.
