You need to go to recovery and do a factory reset, reflashing the rom will only work if you also wipe data and caches as, well, which is done with a factory reset too

Started off with this document https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19S0tKF-kfozACgnGIX0gYFBe1K8_R3NBloP4Q1FgpIU great resource, but not quite enough ^_^

Thought I'd share my Unbounce setup, getting amazing battery life, as little as 0.4%/hr drain overnight.

Unbounced ALARMS

Unbounced WAKELOCKS

Haven't noticed any negative side effects so far, all calls still coming, still getting GCM PUSH from my apps, accounts still syncing.

!!! google for raping our devices with 982938432 alarms & wakelocks for your own data collection purposes.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Oehane:
Thanks Camry, it's helpful to hear what others have bounced and what effects it has had on their phone.

0.4% drain overnight is pretty amazing, I'm burning around 10% but would be happy if i can even get that down to 5.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] camry89:
10% overnight is a huge amount :crying:

These are my stats for the past 24hrs, used my phone quite a bit today, still averaging 2.4% / hr... & still a good amount left over
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KafeURNA:
Hi, according to Google drive document, I am a little confused... Usually there are settings around 240s, you have 10times lower, is that right?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] justyourimage:
Be carefull when you apply those settings (even partly) I found that the native WiFi Hibernate with my S5 wasnt working properly / randomly and using Tasker with WiFI Near State would generate a really high and constant load over 9% when used (even when Scan Timeouts were set high - over 600s).

Switched to Cell Near and made Profiles for Screen On/Off and now it's down so 1-2% again.

Wakelocks seem fine now thought I'll post if I encounter more strange bugs. E.g. I'm not sure if only that high load was causing the massive Battery drain when the screen is on (over 6%).

Edit:

Well as I was writing this another 2% are gone so maybe something else is going into panic mode. This definately didn't happen yesterday (still not sure if it's related to those settings)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DatacomGuy:
Hey Guys, im desperate..

two days ago i charged my phone overnight as i normally do. Woke up and it was in SOD, which happens all the time (agni kernal, no fix yet).. Pulled the battery, but phone wouldnt boot. Turns out, it freezes during booting resulting in what appears to be a frozen boot loop.

Then i tried to plug it into my recharger, and it was showing a grey battery icon and was frozen on that screen always, the screen doesnt turn off, the battery icon isn't showing that its charging. doesnt change, just shows the same empty battery grey icon with the refresh circle-arrow in the middle.

I tried taking the battery out leaving it out for 5 minutes, draining the battery from the phone by holding the power button for 10 seconds, then trying to charge the phone. Same issue, only showing the grey battery icon when trying to charge and it never changes or goes away.

SO i tried to boot up the phone, but it wont go past the samsung text logo.

I tried entering recovery, but it just freezes on the samsung text logo.

I can not enter download mode either. So ihave no way to run odin from what i can tell.

Im losing my mind here, ive tried almost everything i can think of. And would really appreciate any help on this. It feels like a hard core brick.. I LIVE on my phone due to work and im losing money every day i dont have it. DESPERATELY need this. HELP!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
DatacomGuy,

A usb jig will probably be able to force the phone into download mode again so you can restore it with Odin. If you're up to it, you can do a Google search to get instructions on how to make your own.... or you can buy one online pretty cheap. Here's one on eBay (USB JIG) that looks good with good feedback from the seller.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DatacomGuy:
Thank you.. Ill order one today and report back.

What could have gone wrong you guys think? How did the phone just do this?

I guess no way to get my pics off huh?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
I hope the jig will work for you so you can restore the phone back to stock 4.1.2 and start over fresh.

I'm not sure what would have caused the phone to have started boot looping like that. My guess would be that something got corrupted.

There's a thread in the general section on how to Odin flash the stock recovery onto the phone so you can wipe cache and do a factory reset.... (EDIT: Click here to go to the thread) . This is a long shot, but if you can get the phone back into download mode with the jig, you could try installing the stock recovery and just wiping cache without doing the factory reset... then see if you can get the phone to boot up so you can recover stuff off of it.

As far as the pictures go, they may have been saved to the external sd card. You could pop the sd card into another phone if you've got another functioning phone laying around... or use a sd card adapter to mount it straight onto your computer so you can check.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DatacomGuy:
The jig did the trick.. thank god..

The flashing stock recovery did not work. I ended up going back to stock firmware.. 4.1.2 i think..

Thank God i have this back.. Thanks SO much for your help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattnmag:
That's great to hear. Too bad the stock recovery didn't work, but I'm glad the jig worked and you were able to fix your phone. :) :thumbup:
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] exxi:
Hey, my time and date changes back everytime i take out the Battery. Now i wonder if there is aproblem with the internal Battery and if there is any and how I can replace it? I already Formatted the Firmware again, did not help always changes back to some 2006 date 12:00.

What is happening there?

could it be that the OVerclocking did that to my internal Battery?

I run the BatteryStatus Plugin on 260 MHZ

Thanks
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] c3l5o:
The prophet has no internal battery as far as I know... Being a WM5 device there's no chance of data loss if the main battery drain out so no need for the internal battery to keep data safe on the device as it was for the WM2003 devices... Think this is the correct explanation on why it doesn't have one...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] exxi:
Then why does my Time reset everytime i take the battery out. Is that a hardware problem?? whats the deal???
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] c3l5o:
I told you... it doesn't have an internal battery...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] exxi:
Allright man, dont get pissed I just want to Know why my time is being reset everytime i take out the battery, should i send it in??

please answer
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] hanmin:
WM5 devices DO have a internal battery. It is not as big as massive as those in WM2003's version where it needs to keey the memory runnning to keep the data. The one in WM5 devices are probably all tablet little battery. AFAI can remember, there are cases of Wizard forgetting the time/date too and an investigation has been launched to search for the internal battery.

UPDATE: Read this for Wizard

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=279384&highlight=internal+battery+wizard

it has an internall backup (small) battery, although it is actually a capacitor that acts as a batter. I presume the Prophet has one too. BTW, as the thread mentioned, you can get this problem fixed if you were to charge your phone directly (rather than charging the battery). Read the thread for more info.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] shayd:
YES IT DOES HAVE AN INTERNAL BATTERY.

The Prophet (and all WM5 PPC) does have an internal battery (very small but not a capacitor) for not forgetting the time/date when you take out the main battery.

exxi, your Prophet's internal battery is probably dead.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] lastnikita:
I have the same problem.

Could be the result of a too high o/c attempt, or the vodka that went into my phone.... who knows ?

I'll send it back on warranty soon, I hope I'll get a working backup battery afterwards ^^
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] exxi:
thanks for the responses guys, I really appreciate it, i have the feeling that the o/c did this to my internal battery, I hope nothing else is damaged. I am going to send it in soon, lets see what happens.

Thanks guys!!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] lastnikita:
Since a lot of users are having that trouble, there's much chances our devices have faulty batteries. For (main) battery switching, if you're fast enough, you can switch them in about 2s, and won't lost date & time. If you're not, well, practice :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] victoradjei:
O/C does nothing to your internal battery :D My first prophet of the first stock was o/c ed from the first time omap clock was "discovered" and is still flawless :p
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] hanmin:
I'd guessed that not many will discover this 'flaw' unless they swap battery/sim frequently .. as like me, I'm not sure if I have the problem or not.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] hanmin:
If you like capital letters, YES IT IS A CAPACITOR (well, at least I'm sure for the Wizard and unlikely HTC will be using different technology on different devices). Attached the screen shot of the service manual of the Wizard. Note the picture and the word "Golden cap replacement", which actually called 'Gold capacitor', is a capacitor, which acts like battery. Read this for more info.

http://www.ttiinc.com/object/FP_pan_goldcap.html

Also note that, it said it needs to be soldered to have it removed. You don't usually solder in a battery, the heat from the soldering will probably damage the battery of that size.

Anyway, having said that, capacitor can be damaged anyway. My Citizen Eco-Drive watch, which uses a cap to store energy, went to the 'hospital' for a change of a faulty capacitor that won't store charges for more than a day (which specification said it will store up to 3 months).
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] lastnikita:
You may be right, but you can't tell that's not the o/c fault just because it didn't happen on your device, that's not logic at all.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] shayd:
Hello hanmin,

that is why I used capital letters.

I am probably wrong abut it an actual bateery, as you said it is a capacitor', but that is not the issue.

the issue is all WM5 devices (not only Prophet and wizard that by the way have exactly the same internal battery / CAP) does have some kind of an internal battery , that keep the date and time for a few minutes, when the main battery is taken out.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1337dude:
Hey guys, I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S5 a few days ago. I read some reviews and saw that a lot of people preferred the LG G3 (for the price) so I took it back, paid the restocking fee, and picked that up instead. I like the G3 a lot but the screen has some lame sharpening filter which makes text and web-page reading look slightly bad...

It also has this problem where the headphone port is sensitive - if I don't plug it in the right way, the port doesn't even recognize anything is plugged in, and if I bump it, it's prone to track-skipping and other lame problems.

Should I take my phone back and pay the $135 (restocking fee + difference in price)? I'd also have to buy a new case, because I already purchased a case for my G3. Or should I just stick with what I have? We're getting to the point that these almost all of these phones are ridiculously spiffy. I want a phone I can be proud of and wish to keep it longer than just the 2-years I have my payment plan for. The G3 seems worth keeping but the problems I mentioned bother me. Plus, I'd really like to have the nicer screen.

Do you think it's worth paying $135 (and getting a new case) for this upgrade? Or do you personally think it's not worth it?

I'm honestly not even the biggest phone person. I don't heavily use it, I don't rely on it, I don't really care to show it off. I just don't want to regret my G3 a few weeks from now after my trade-in period has expired.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maclv:
G3 worth keeping love mine. Had it since launch. The headphone might be the problem not had any issue with mine. S5 is close but still a downgrade......now the note 4 maybe
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buhohitr:
Remember the most expensive part of the phone is the SCREEN. If you crack the screen, it's not worth to replace because it cost almost as the full price you paid for the phone. So yes, the S5 screen is very high quality/resolution, this you can keep for at least 4 years without issue. Remember, the latest iphone is only half of the S5 resolution.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1337dude:
I'm not really worried about the Note 4's resolution and screen. I know it's an upgrade. I just want to know if there are any problems with the Note 4 that keeps it from necessarily being worth the $155 upgrade from the G3.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
I came from a G 3 myself. Definitely worth it for me, but YMMV.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 05GT:
Go for it man. Build quality of the Note 4 is nicer, although, the G3 definitely has a better more natural feel in hand. At the same resolution the Superamoled of the N4 makes the G3 look sad. The Note 4 doesn't run as hot as the G3 either.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1337dude:
How well does the Note 4 handle headphones and speakers? The one thing really bothering me with my G3 it's a bit finicky at recognizing my speakers. I have to constantly plug and unplug the cord because often it won't recognize that there's a cord being plugged in or sometimes it thinks that there's a headset plugged in instead. Even more annoying is that it automatically turns down my volume from max every time I plug something in.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 05GT:
I haven't noticed any headphone issues. I rode the motorcyle all day with the phone in my pocket using some Skull Candy earbuds. No issues at all.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J3ff:

I got a G3 the day it came out, was a close battle for me to decide to either use the G3 or GS5. Ended up deciding for the GS5.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1337dude:
That's odd. Isn't the screen technology in the Samsung better?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 05GT:
Screens are pretty much personal preference. Not everyone likes Samsungs over saturation of colors. I happen to be one that loves it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
I highly prefer Samsungs screens. The g3 is nice too, but it's too washed out. The g2 screen was brighter and more vibrant.

I had a lot of issues with the g3. Slow, laggy..especially in the message app. Try typing while you have a message sending or while one is coming in.

Plus, they took a lot of features away, minor things, but still. They stripped the phone down and used the "simple is better" slogan, but the phone was about as smooth as a 100$ android phone running gingerbread.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
According to DisplayMate, if you set your display mode to basic, the Note 4 has the best calibrated and mist accurate display currently on a smartphone.

However, I use adaptive mode because I too like the colours to pop out at me! ;)

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1337dude:
I thought I read reviews saying the Samsung's colors were really accurate, but maybe I read that for a different phone instead. I like having accurate colors. OLED also has better contrast and deeper blacks. I understand having a preference, but to prefer the objectively worse screen? :p That just sounds silly to me. The G3 has no strengths as far as I can tell in the screen department compared to the Note 4.

I've had no lag problems or even as much as a single occurrence of stuttering on my phone since I've got it.

The problems I do have that make me consider trading in:

- Headphone port sucks. Plain and simple. Plugging my phone into my speakers is a huge pain in the ass and only works if my phone is plugged into a charger. Whenever my playlist changes, I have to unplug and replug my cord again. It's practically functionally broken. If I took my phone in and made a case to Sprint saying that the phone is legitimately broken and doesn't work for my needs - I could exchange my phone without paying a restocking fee? It's pretty lame I have to pay a restocking fee if the damn thing is broken.

- Sharpening on screen. LG has some weird thing where there's a sharpening filter applied to everything on the screen. Makes pretty much any text-dominant screen look washed out and a bit on the crappy side.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rippley05:
I've had not headphone problems, not so much as a single occurrence of any type of headphone issue on the g3.

I know some people have no lag, but not a single occurrence of a single stutter? Come on meow. Every phone ever made has a stutter from time to time.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1337dude:
I'm sure - but I've only had my phone for a few days and have only used it a handful of times. You think a 2.5 quad-core processor. 3gb of RAM and the graphics chip can't handle a simple UI? :p I uninstalled all the bloatware and got the phone running lean as soon as I got it, so really, I haven't done anything to cause the phone to lag or stutter yet - heck, I've yet to even reboot the phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psygnosi:
I too came from an LG G3. I had the earphone interference noise but did not have any overheating problem. The super amoled screen tore me away from my G3 as well as the Note 4's beautiful build quality. The screen just pops! I'm very happy with my Note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exdroid1:
I'm returning my G3 for a N4 because of its lag and short battery life. I've seen the over-sharpening issue, but that wasn't the deal-breaker for me.

To me it is the loss of that last quarter inch or so of space the soft panel takes up. I like all the real estate I can get out of a screen.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] __alex__:
Hi, I've just bought a HTC One M8 from craigslist and I have a problem or two. The phone cannot connect to google servers, but the posts I found to fix that didn't help (delete hosts, install gmail). The main problem is I can't get it back to stock to get the new firmware (it's on 4.4.3), which I thought may cure my problems.

The phone is on Venom ROM, carrier is T-Mobile USA, tampered and unlocked flags showing, S-On

Here's what happens when I try to flash a recovery image:

adt and fastboot do exactly what they are supposed to do, but when I hit "Recovery" on the phone it says 'entering recovery', then just boots up as normal. I never get to TWRP. If I use CWM, it says 'entering recovery', then goes back to fastboot.

For some reason, the phone is taking a good 60 seconds to boot up each time.

I have tried to go to S-Off, but I got the Firewater message:

*** whelp, this sucks, firewater can not work on your device *** (etc.)

Can you tell me how to get communication to Google working again, or how to upgrade the firmware?

Thanks for your help, I am new to this, and running out of ideas

Alex
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] FreydNot:
I would say use fastboot to install TWRP and try again. Or use fastboot to install the stock bootloader and then try to flash an RUU. Google around this forum for instructions.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Theoriginalgiga:
like FreydNot said, I'd try downloading and fastbooting the latest TWRP onto the phone. power it down and let it chill for a minute and then try to get into the recovery.
