[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biglo30:
I wish they would release a Google edition s5 but it doesn't look like the relationship with Google and samsung is as healthy as it use to be with them trying to make there own OS. I would much rather a pure edition with support for the finger print sensor and the heart rate monitor and I'm good. Touchwiz is just wayyyy too bloated and unattractive.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lympe:
I'm pretty sure that there are right now 20 highly paid executives at samsung trying to figure out why their sales numbers are decreasing.

Give us pure android software with your Samsung camera and you'll rule android again.

I've read recent news about S5 Google Play Edition pure Android Lollipop based. I hope I will be out soon to install pure ROM on my s5

While trying to flash am getting an error that says TWRP is unable to open a zip and it fails.

What am I doing wrong?

Update: Tried TWRP and Flashify, both failed. Tried fixing permissions, no lukc. Greatly appreciate any help

Anyone? Would really be greatful for any advice or direction
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3v1l.cr0:
Hi everyone,

I'm new here, nice to meet you all. Last night I finally bought the LG G3, switched from an iPhone 5S.

Right away I flashed the phone to Lollipop that I found in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/kdz-poland-lollipop-lg-g3-20a00-t2938255

And the phone really works flawlessly except for one weird (and pretty annoying) bug.

When I'm surfing using Chrome or the generic browser that comes with the phone, after visiting a few websites (music forums, basketball websites, etc., nothing out of the ordinary that I usually visit), for some reason the browser gets redirected to an app called "Porn Factory" and wants me to download it to my phone.

Now, I'm pretty sure this isn't normal behaviour. And I've read that people have experienced a similar issue with their phones, but I still haven't found a solution to stop this from happening.

I tried a fresh install of Chrome, deleted all data/cache and it still happens from time to time. My phone isn't loaded with a lot of apps, just a few social media apps basically as it's brand new. Also tried scanning it with a few of the anti-virus apps on Google Play and nothing.

So yeah, if anybody could give a tip or two on how to solve this I would be very greatful. This is my last resort. :-\

Other than this, I'm really enjoying the G3!

p.s. I do apologize if the thread isn't in the right section, I'm new here.

Try to do factory reset (wipe data)

Next time use G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum as it belongs to this section.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReeceasaurusRex:
sounds like it is trying to tell you something

but seriously it doesn't sound like anyone else has that issue (or they think it's a good thing, who knows)

could it be an SD card issue?

Can you boot into safe mode by pressing+holding the reboot button?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3v1l.cr0:
So the only thing I can do is a complete factory reset? How certain are you guys this could work? I mean I could do it, but I just want to try everything else before wiping everything and starting again from scratch.

Really appreciate the help guys!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bert.C:
Are you signed into chrome?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3v1l.cr0:
Yeah, I logged in with my google account the first time I launched it. I could clear all settings and re-install the app and not sign in when I launch it for the first time. If that's a viable solution?

The thing is this is also happening on the stock browser which came with the phone and I'm not signed into anything on there.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraven001:
* Try other browsers.

*Try some free antivirus solution.

* Is this happening on the same connection (WiFI / Data)? Maybe it's something in the network / dns proxy, etc.

* Check your internet settings (ip, dns, etc.)

What you have there is either mallware or some other type of bad "virus". This can't be considered a but by a long shot.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3v1l.cr0:
Same thing is happening on my home Wifi, my friend's house wifi and my cellular data. On Chrome and the stock browser.

Well I've done a factory reset a few moments ago, will see if anything changes.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraven001:
My best guess is either some bad configuration (with a mallware dns or whatever) or some mallware that does that intercepting / redirect. Bugs are crashes, things not working etc not porn redirection :D, that's what mallware does.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3v1l.cr0:
I get what you're saying, but how is it possible the phone got infected out of the box? I basically used it for a couple of hours before this started happening. Didn't surf any "bad" websites and installed only a couple of social apps.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraven001:
there are lots of "ways" these get pushed and lots of crappy ads that you press and install things or reconfigure things that you wouldn't know. I don't know, I would start analyzing the apps looking at what's going on ...

don't want to be the devil's advocate but maybe one of your friends played a practical joke on you ... don't know these things tend to happen ...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3v1l.cr0:
Nobody has touched the phone except me since I got it.... and just finished the factory reset thing and set up a totally new device, opened chrome, surfed a few pages and it happens again.

This makes no sense. :(
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraven001:
try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitdefender.antivirus

don't know, out of ideas really :(
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redline:
One thing you guys may not have considered also, is that the guy you got the kdz from might have tampered with it and put adware or malware into the file...

Now, I'm in no way saying he has (Everyone on here is very trustworthy), but from all the solutions that look to have failed in this thread, that could be the only option. You can always try a factory reset, as stated above and if it's just something on the ROM then it might fix it, but if it's in the KDZ itself, the only way to get rid of it would be to flash a different file.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3v1l.cr0:
Is there another 5.0 Lollipop KDZ file except the one I used? (http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/kdz-poland-lollipop-lg-g3-20a00-t2938255)

At this point I'm willing to try everything as reseting the phone to factory settings also didn't help.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bert.C:
Id consider flashing the stock kdz again. But get it from here from someone known and start fresh.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3v1l.cr0:
Could you please point me to the file I need to download? I'm new to all this and really don't have an idea which file I need. I have the D855 version of the phone.

Thank you!

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bayuadhi069:
Its not a bug, just webpage redirecting. Some website does that, some on both desktop and mobile version, some just one of them. One of the web page i visit lg-phone-firmware.com is one of them. In mobile version it always redirect to ads.

Viable solution is to try desktop view. Else try browser that support adblock.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3v1l.cr0:
Well it appears I got rid of this problem. Downgraded to KitKat, rooted my device and installed a custom ROM that I found here.

Its Official Guys as Promised by Xiaomi & Hugo the kernel source is released.

https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/tree/cancro-kk-oss

Now every Developer will have taste of delicious rom's. :)

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

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE

Xiaomi Had Meet in Chennai (india) today.

In Q&A Section i had priviledge to ask Hugo Regarding Kernel Source.

He replied that in late march we will be getting the Kernel Source for Mi3 Variant and infact they gonna make sure that after the MI Note they will try to release the kernel source of the every product they launch after Three Months. WE waited a lot and more two months Remaining.

:):victory:

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

So I guess everyone knows about the AOSP ROM 4.4.4 for MI3 By IVAN. The news is IVAN is working on the Build Project For Android 5.0 in Mi3.

Ivan already made a rom for MI 2 /2s.

http://en.miui.com/thread-61384-1-1.html

Now its time for mi3 Folks.
[Mi 3 General] bluerain28:

[Mi 3 General] Archmag3:
what stupid thread :/
[Mi 3 General] KinG5Pac:
On offical side miui forum there a lots of stupid threads like "Do you want a stable version of miui 6??":cyclops:

so it's nothing in front of this .
[Mi 3 General] FcukBloat:
why stupid? we can share here in this thread all the lollipop related coming news and keep the other thread only for aosp related info. i think this is useful to keep things clean and separated...

maybe OP should just edit the title to "lollipop for mi3 discussion thread" or similar
[Mi 3 General] The Dork Knight Rises:
Ivan's Android 5.0 Lollipop for Mi3 W / Mi4 CONFIRMED

It seems Ivan (the Xiaomi Dev who releases AOSP ROMs built with official kernel sources for Xiaomi devices) is already working on a Lollipop build for the Mi3/Mi4.

[IMG="Lollipop on Mi3"]http://en.miui.com/data/attachment/forum/201411/14/194400kfcjdxu8ctj81oe1.jpg.thumb.jpg[/IMG]

Even though the pic clearly shows a Mi3 WCDMA (i.e. the International variant), thing is, the Mi3 and Mi4 share similar systems. So similar, in fact, that their ROMs are cross-compatible!! :)

Hence the Mi4 is also DEFINITELY getting an AOSP build from Ivan.

I'll make sure I keep this thread (and my Mi3W) updated. :p

[Mi 3 General] FcukBloat:

[Mi 3 General] Archmag3:
now the thread title n content is fine :) cheers ! and yes miui forum has loads of stupid threads :/
[Mi 3 General] raj.parekh07:
Please don't compare MIUI forums and XDA .

XDA has its own standard .

This place is not meant for random threads like it is in MI forums .

Though I am not against the OP. Its good keep both kitkat and lollipop separated as there will be confusions.
[Mi 3 General] rumitdhamecha:
I'm daily checking out the page. Will Surely Update the News If i come to know first :)
[Mi 3 General] FcukBloat:
no news? :(

mi2 has lollipop already.. I guess because it is a old phone and probably xiaomi don't allow ivan to release lollipop for mi3 yet... :rolleyes:
[Mi 3 General] Hadi al-Haiqal:
Maybe.. But im thinking of it is too buggy to be use daily..
[Mi 3 General] FcukBloat:
i hope you are right.. but that wouldn't explain why mi2 had priority respect mi3.. the normal thing would have been to work on mi3 first, and then, eventually, on mi2..... i think?
[Mi 3 General] colocynth:
I think L is very new to Ivan. He needs to test it on a backup phone, instead of his daily one
[Mi 3 General] Anandababu153:
I believe Mi2's kernel is available for public. but not for Mi3.

I believe that could be a valid reason also that could be the reason why Xiaomi restricted (if at all true) Ivan from releasing it.
[Mi 3 General] s4tch:
there's a thread at the miui board about the 5.0 rom which was started by a moderator. i highly doubt that ivan is banned/restricted from releasing the rom. the 4.4 kitkat rom is kind of a semi-official release, this will be the case with the lollipop, too, i guess. it's just that mi2 was first this time. to be honest, i don't really care about the release date as long as we get a working rom. i never put any pressure on developers, i accept that it will be released when it's ready. in the meantime, i'm happy to use the 4.4 aosp stuff.

waiting time is not frustrating. xiaomi not releasing kernel sources despite numerous promises, that is frustrating.

Please help me on the following:

1. I kept getting a notification "An application requires an update..." (Requested by Google Play Services). After I click on it, it opens up Google Play Services in Play Store, and I can "Deactivate" or "Open" it. Opening it goes to Google Settings. The notification disappears but reappear upon running of Google Now Launcher or reboot.

2. Google Search is installed but Google Now widget says Google Now is not available. Installing Google Now Launcher doesn't solve this. Location services is turned on.

[Mi 3 General] Engic0:
Guys use this app to keep it alive.

Wake Lock - PowerManager

Select PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK

No random reboots for me for last 7 hours and also battery is 60% with 3hrs SOT.
[Mi 3 General] The Dork Knight Rises:
Hmm...I wonder...did you use ivan's recovery or your own?

BECAUSE I WANNA KNOW WHY SOME PPL DON'T GET REBOOTS and I DO!!
[Mi 3 General] chankalson:
actually I tried both, both of the recoveries doesn't have any Random reboots.. I've actually tried other roms too, No reboots also.. maybe it's because I'm using the mi4..
[Mi 3 General] FcukBloat:
in my experience, with deep sleep enabled, it is only matter of time, sooner or later you will always get reboots. after I installed lollipo I didn't experience any reboots for hours, then I started getting several, completely random, reboots. not many, but they are present
[Mi 3 General] elia222:
Same for me. Phone reboots after few minutes when I turn off the screen, just like was happening in cm11.
[Mi 3 General] chankalson:
wells, no reboots for me (at all) :P

I'm using Mi4
[Mi 3 General] The Dork Knight Rises:
Lucky b*****d! :p

Who can explain this? Why doesn't the Mi4 have this bug?
[Mi 3 General] chankalson:
I have no idea xD

I've also tried AOSPA and AICP previously, and surprisingly, no reboots too!

I think probably something to do with hardware diferences..
[Mi 3 General] clewis:
Has anyone tried the nodeepsleep app? I know it fixed some reboot issues on 4.4.
[Mi 3 General] elia222:
All apps that prevent phone to go into deep sleep solve the random reboot issue
[Mi 3 General] FcukBloat:
problem fixed! at last no more notification for goggle services :)

to fix that, update to latest Google services (i used aptoide, but you can also download the today's updated gapps from the same link you downloaded previous gapps package, the euroskank website by banks)

cheers!

edit: don't know for you guys, but here first battery cycle was very bad, while second one here seems much better! hope it will stay like this maybe it just needed to settle!? (haven't installed any app from preventing deep sleep yet)
[Mi 3 General] nsakhare:
I got one issue y it reboot automatically... If FM is on for long time..it ll start rebooting:p
[Mi 3 General] The Dork Knight Rises:
Have you tried WIFI_MODE_FULL_HIGH_PREF? The meter on top seems to indicate it's less power-consuming than PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK...

(Anything lower than WIFI_MODE_FULL_HIGH_PREF doesn't stop reboots, I've tried.)

I tried PARTIAL, and had overnight drain of 8%, tonight I'll try WIFI...HIGH_PREF...
[Mi 3 General] Engic0:
Nop. And same here ,8-10% drain which is not a problem for me... Even ill try today :thumbup:

EDIT: I tried, got random reboot within minutes...
[Mi 3 General] The Dork Knight Rises:
I JUST had a random reboot on WI-FI mode... It's a no-go... Seems like we have to stick with PARTIAL...
[Mi 3 General] FcukBloat:
thanks guys please keep sharing your best findings! ;) :good:
[Mi 3 General] Hadi al-Haiqal:
Yup.. Partial it is.. Around 1% drop per hours..
[Mi 3 General] Mr Rainman:
Potential fix?

Found a potential fix to random reboot on mi3. Manully formatted both system 1 and system 2 in recovery, then flashed the ROM on system1. So far running about an hour and left for around 3 minutes standby too and not a single reboot so far. No wakelock or similar app used. Not sure if I'm just lucky or really stumbled on something useful.

Edit: After wiping systems, I followed normal install procedure and used the cwm recovery by furniel and donbot
[Mi 3 General] elia222:
I flashed the rom with that method but the first reboots appeared after some hours.
[Mi 3 General] Mr Rainman:
Yeah, just got my first too. At least we have the wakelock method...
[Mi 3 General] sergiob8:
I did all that when I flashed the rom, but a few hours later the reboots started. Keep it in your pocket for a while, that's the toughest test

Can somebody please give me a link of the lollipip ROM?
[Mi 3 General] Mr Rainman:
So that adds up to what? Like 7h of SOT? If so then it's not bad at all. Maybe it's just a placebo but I feel the battery goes a bit faster than in 4.4 by Ivan :)
[Mi 3 General] Deslang16:
I cant find the download link of the ROM anywhere. Very annoying!
[Mi 3 General] HEIS3NBERG:
Am I the only one who felt the battery is way more bad than with ivan's 4.4 rom ?
[Mi 3 General] Mr Rainman:
DO NOT post link to the rom here, this is not the work of any xda member and doing so would end in the thread being closed. Just search in miui forums using google, the download link will be there.
[Mi 3 General] Deslang16:
No it isn't! Searched for an hour andere dont have an account. Thank you for being so helpfull..

I noted camera apk doesn't close GPS connection. Kill it and the icon disappears from the status bar.

I confirm no reboot at all on MI4.
[Mi 3 General] The Dork Knight Rises:
Hmm.... What I'm experiencing here is that the battery life gets better the more you use it...

This morning, i started with 91% (Clean Master has accidentally killed WakeLock app so was probably rebooting throughout the night) and an now at 81% with 58 mins SoT... That's like almost 1hr SoT per 10% drop(that's around a projected max of 9+ hrs SoT, much better than the projected max of 7hrs according to the screenshots from two nights ago I posted yesterday)...Almost as good as MIUI (It's an accepted thing that 'GENERALLY' stock OEM ROMs have the best battery life...)

BTW, ppl who used AOSP 4.4.4 by Ivan, how much SoT did you get on an average?

(I didn't use it for more than a day as I'd been using AOSP-based ROMs on my Galaxy Note for the last two years... Needed a change of scenery, so got MIUI 6)
