[Samsung Galaxy Light ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & ] Planterz:
TouchWiz does make this phone bad. This thing has a quad core 1.4GHz and a gig of RAM. It shouldn't take 30-60 seconds to load freaking Facebook on a 30MB/s download connection. Not when it takes my Nexus 4 6-7 seconds. Something is really, really dragging this phone down. 1gb RAM isn't enough for such a bloated ROM.

I'm considering jumping ship on with this phone and getting an Avant. I only really use the Light as an internet mule since the screen is so small and the OS is so laggy. The Avant is a better phone all-around, so even though there's little development going on with it now, I would expect there to be more in the future. The Avant can be had so cheaply now, almost as cheaply as the Light, so I expect interest in the Avant will surpass that of the Light (if it hasn't already). Plus it's got band 12 and KitKat.

If I do get an Avant, I probably wouldn't even bother selling my Light, since I wouldn't get much for it anyway. Maybe I'll stick with the Light - the screen might be dinky but the small size means the phone is easily portable, even sharing a pocket with my Nexus 4. I don't know...either way, all I know is that as soon as my income tax refund gets deposited, I'm getting a OnePlus One. Maybe I'll wait until Tucson actually gets band 12 before switching to the Avant, Or if a stable, functional custom AOSP or CM ROM comes out first. Anyway, I'm drunk and rambling. I'm just sick of this phone taking FOREVER to do simple freaking things like loading up the dialer or Soundhound. Seriously, I try to use Soundhound to ID a song on the radio, and by the time it loads the song is over. The lag drives me bonkers.

In sum, earlier today I was using my phone with no problems-- calls, texts, using apps etc. I went to 'close my screen' when I was done using it and I realized the side power/lock screen button was not working and my screen was not responding when I wanted to lock it. I removed the battery hoping it would reset the phone and fix what was wrong but now my phone will not turn back on. I plugged the phone into the wall for at least 30 minutes as well as plugging it in the computer for quite some time. No response from the phone at all. (no charging icon, computer is not detecting the usb cable when plugged into computer, etc.)I also held the buttons down to try to power on as well.

I was wondering if there was a way to fix this problem, or somehow retrieve files (mainly pictures) from the phone,

Thank you for your help. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

I attempted to hold volume down, power and home buttons but the phone did not respond. The computer is also not recognizing it while plugged in via usb. The button does not seem to be 'stuck' as i can still hear a slight clicking sound when I press it.

Try removing the battery and hold power down for 30 seconds and then try installing the battery again.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] CLShortFuse:
So, I've been looking online for a Wireless Charging + S View case and found something interesting.

Basically, there are different models. I've deciphered them to work like this:

Let's take EP-VN910IBUSTA which is a striped SView with Wireless Charging

BASE - EP

TYPE - V

MODEL - N910

FEATURE - I

COLOR - B

??? - U

STYLE - STA

So, for types, I've figured out:

B = Battery

C = Cover

P = Protective Case

V = Flip + Charging

Feature:

B - Basic

I - Inductive Charging

Color -

B - Black

E - Gold

N - Navy

R - Red

W - White

???

U - ?

E - ?

Style

STA - Striped

GWW - Flat

One thing to note is Type C with Feature B will always be flip cover and Type C with Feature I will be Wireless Charging only (no S View).

I'm wondering if google doesn't work for you as you obviously didn't even do a search there to see if you can find an answer out of the 3 660 000 results that it tossed out with a simple search like "how to root htc one m8" :confused:

http://htconeroot.com/htc-one-root/how-to-root-htc-one-m8/

There is one method, you can also try Sunshine S-OFF ($25) and you won't have to unlock the bootloader through htcdev.com...

On a side note, this belongs in Q&A not General, I'm reporting to have it moved to the appropriate place.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeepankarS:
Are you able to listen that click sound?

Tap the phone's power button on a flat surface.

Or

Open the phone and try to get the power button leave its stuck position

Or

Go to any local mobile repair shop, they'll do it for you :)

It is a stuck power button issue..and you wont be able to get in recovery.

If you can get into recovery, flash aroma file manager and paste your files on your ext sd..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fusseldieb:
Try pulling the battery out (for at least 5 minutes), putting back in and then holding "Volume Down" + "Home" + "Power".

IF

you could see a warning screen appearing, then press "Volume Down".

IF

the phone restarts, you'll be good ;)

But if it could start, please make a backup of all your files!

And if not, then enter in that mode again and try to flash a new firmware through ODIN.

OH! AND IF YOU WANT TO RECOVER YOUR FILES, DON'T DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!

If you want your files, flash TWRP and pull your files to your pc through ADB.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsungs424:
Thank you for your feedback

I do not believe the power button is stuck as I can hear the slight clicking sound when pressing.

The phone did not respond when I tried to restart my pressing volume down, home and power buttons.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsungs424:
Thank you for your feedback.

I tried to hold the "Volume Down" + "Home" + "Power" buttons, but the phone did not respond.

WIll i be able to recover files by "flash TWRP and pull your files to your pc through ADB" if the phone does not respond to the computer while plugged in via USB?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fusseldieb:
You couldn't even enter in download mode. I think your phone is dead. And no, there will be no easy ways to recover your files without special tools.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeepankarS:
The battery might be dead. Try changing the battery and then try turning it on :)

If not. Remove the battery, plug it in to a PC using your usb and see if by using the 3 key combination it enters the download mode? :D

If these dont work..buy a USB jig...Charge your phone..(just leave it plugged in) after 15 min...insert the USB jig.and you'll see download mode. :)

i used to be on the old imate rom and my battery didn't last half a day, now i'm on the 1.34 imate rom and its a great improvement, so try a rom upgrade or use bandswitch to switch off umts/wcdma when not needed to extend your battery life.

[Moto X Q&A] 123386761:
Hi, I'm about to upgrade from a ****ty Galaxy SII Skyrocket to this device, and I'm wondering if there's any known issues, like GPS lag, cell service not working, those sorts of things. I know how to use adb and android (was a dev for the HTC One V), but if there's something *special* with this phone, I'd like to know ahead of time.

Thanks!

~123386761
[Moto X Q&A] :
Just browse the general and Q&A sections for discussion on certain things.

Some have issues with whatever and some don't. Best to read for yourself. ?

If you want full root, stay away from Verizon, at&t and Republic Wireless. With those you can't unlock the bootloader. If you get something with 4.4.3 or less on it, you can PAY for a bootloader unlock, maybe it will work. If you are on 4.4.4, There's no root for locked bootloaders on those 3 carriers. And no temp roots either.

That's the biggest thing to know in advance.
[Moto X Q&A] 123386761:
Thanks for the tip! I looked around the QnA and saw how some can't unlock the boot loader. That must suck. The model I'm getting is T-Mobile OEM factory unlocked (so I can use my provider, Immix) so I should be able to get the unlock code very easily from Motorola. I saw something about a camera update, what's that about?

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Moto X Q&A] :
Yup, you should be able to unlock the bootloader. A warning tho... It does technically void the warranty.

The camera is average... Tho even the best camera phones out there are mediocre and generally no where near as good as even a very cheap camera camera. Personally, I'd never let the performance of a phone camera play into my decision to buy which phone.

The best way to ensure good pics when you know in advance you are going to be taking pics... Is bring a camera. Phone cameras are always going to disappoint when it matters most.

That's just my opinion though. My phone is just a camera for those spur of the moment times... And my expectations are low... But at least I got something. ?
[Moto X Q&A] 123386761:
I'm okay with voiding the warranty, since I almost never have any hardware issues, and software issues are (almost) always fixable.

[Motorola Droid X2] bmxfelon420:
I have noticed an issue with the latest CM7 for this phone where occasionally apps just open to a black screen. Sometimes you can get it to work by clearing data/cache and stopping the service, sometimes not. What usually ALWAYS works is to move it either to Phone or SD storage depending on where it is. This will fix it for awhile. I've seen Pandora do this mostly, but Dolphin also does it. Handcent does it from time to time. I have the CM7 BSR installed, I've also tried V6 Supercharger and it hasnt helped with this issue. I was wondering if perhaps my internal storage doesnt have a bad sector? I know on my old Eris I had to rescan the internal memory to flag blocks, it reduced the space a tiny tiny bit but fixed some wierd issues that phone had.

Any help is appreciated.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Vol4Ever:
I've had this tablet (SM-P600) for almost a year now & it has worked perfectly. Over the last week or so, the WiFi has been randomly turning on & off. Not just losing signal, but actually showing as off in the menus. As of this morning, wifi will not turn on at all. Just says "turning on" on the screen & sits. Never gets to the next screen showing all the open networks.

Everything is fully backed up so I went into recovery tonight. Did the full factory reset and wipe procedures. Tablet boots back like it is as supposed to, but wifi wont turn on when getting to that screen in the initial setup.

Tablet has been well cared in a case, not dropped, and not gotten wet. However I am still positive this is a hardware issue.

Any ideas for things I might try? Help!! Thx in advance

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Vol4Ever:
I am almost 100% certain this is some type of hardware problem. I tried flashing about 3 different ROM's and 3 different kernels, all of which successfully booted up. I finished by doing a 100% re-wipe (data & system included) & reinstalling a pure stock kernel and firmware. On every single revision, the words "turning on" would appear when clicking the WiFi option, but then it would get stuck. Message would eventually clear & I could continue using everything on the tablet . . . . . . . just no WiFi or Bluetooth functionality.

Final attempt was to gently remove the back cover. When lightly tapping around different points on the MoBo, the names of my local wireless networks would OCCASIONALLY appear. At one point they locked in & I really thought I had it. However, the whole thing disconnected again after a few minutes & I was back to square 1. :crying:

I never could figure out the perfect sweet spot to pinpoint the problem. My guess now is either a chip or ribbon cable that isn't seated properly, but I poked and pushed (gently!) on everything that was visible without removing any hardware other than just the back cover. Does anyone have a link to the layout of the motherboard that shows EXACTLY which piece is the WiFi/BT module? I did find an online disassembly tutorial with a random Google search, but for some reason they failed to identify this particular module.

Sorry for the long post, but I feel I am SO CLOSE to figuring this out once and for all. Just need a little more tech help to push across the goal line. Thanks!!

Update:

After a little more poking and prodding on the MoBo, I'm starting to see activity. Tablet will finally connect again, but will only hold the connection for 10-15 seconds and then drop back out. A few seconds later the cycle repeats.

I really wish I could find a good hi-res photo of the motherboard to help. HAS to be a simple loose connection, or maybe a not-so-good solder point somewhere???

Same here. I think it's an issue with NII firmware.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Vol4Ever:
*****PARTIAL solution*****

I have proven 100% that mine is problematic hardware . . . . . NOT software or kernel. For the time being my WiFi is back up & seemingly stable. I had to remove the back from the tablet for the fix. You have to be *extremely* careful, but it just snaps off with no screws. Lots of YouTube videos if you choose to attempt, but please don't say I didn't give you fair warning!

The reason I say partial solution is that I haven't pinpointed the exact location of the short. I am 99% sure it is somewhere on the extreme upper left hand corner as you face the front of the tablet. There are a couple of ribbon connectors in that area, and a few snap on type connectors that look like little motherboard chips. After gently poking & prodding the ribbons and disconnecting & reconnecting the snap connectors (being CAREFUL; I cannot stress this enough), my WiFi reappeared.

My final tip is to keep the screen on the page that shows the list of available networks. If you are having the same problem I was, this screen will just show "turning on" and nothing else for the WiFi. While poking around, I would occasionally see the list of networks pop up & then go back off. I finally hit whatever the magic spot is, and the networks held. Snapped the back cover on again, and I've been online for probably 4-5 days now without a single hiccup.

And before I get flamed, I know how dangerous it is to poke around with a powered, exposed tablet. There are probably certain points that could make connection and FRY the entire thing in an instant. I was just willing to take the risk as my tablet was useless without network capability. I had nothing to lose. I would recommend at least trying to poke & prod with the tablet OFF a few times to be safe, but I personally got tired of rebooting over & over & over & over. My luck sucks. With the tablet ON, I was at least able to monitor when something was happening.

Good luck if you attempt it!!
