[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartjais:
I had a similar experience with my s4 and an update caused some issue where the battery was running out in 4 hours.... tried everything no luck.. so gave to samsung. first tried a new batt which i purchased still no luck .. so then they replaced something and told me to use it.

I still had the same issue .. so they took it back after i complained a lot and said level 2 engineer will work on it. ....

3 weeks later i got my phone and the phone was worse then before.. the camera was not working, the phone would freeze and hangup and the batt issue was still there.

i ended up selling the phone cheap... :(:(

lost trust in samsung service ..:crying:

Got my note 3 after a hop to wp8 Lumia ( i know wrong move.. too simple opp system for my taste)

I think second level engineers is just a word they throw around,.. basically the same guys i think who sometimes make things worse ...

what i learnt was Samsung never admits their own firmware issue and says that its a prob wit the phone and will do unnecessary work on the phone and cause more issues..

never gonna take phone back to them specially if its a firmware issue ....

Try to put a mail to Ceos office or some other higher authority of samsung.. maybe they will respond and be more helpful.. ( helped in my friends case recently )

hope you get your phone back soon and working properly bro.. :angel:

Well i have a similar problem but only on the bottom left corner my spen does not work ( 1.5 cm circle)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamsloany:
Well I've had the phone back and according to the engineer its beyond economical repair as its apparently had internal impact damage. Can't see how they've come to this conclusion.

Said they put a new motherboard in and the problem was still there, they refunded me and that was it. I've been fobbed off and not impressed at all so decided to get my money back from the screen and put the whole thing on eBay.

Had enough of Sammy now can't wait out for a nexus 6 so looks like I'm jumping ship to iPhone 6 plus may as well see what the hype is all about
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamsloany:
Bought an s4 zoom today only £100 seems ok for what it is, s2 was getting laggy.

Decided to do a reflow on the motherboard oven method, stipped it all down and its warming up now see how it goes, if the board is knaclered like sammy presume then I have nothing to lose so im not bothered
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamsloany:
I can confirm that the reflow killed it off completely.

Not powering on.

No charging animation

Nothing

Dont do this at home kids (unless you have money and arent bothered)

Hi All,

I got the CyanogenMod 11 snapshot m12 in my HTC one x+. My 3g/lte connection automatically switches to edge and the network connection goes off but the signal strength indicator shows it as full range. I am not able to call or receive call unless I reboot or toggles to aeroplane mode. This also happens automatically when I get a call while 3g is enabled. Is this a problem with my network or something with the cyanogenmod? Is there any tool available to check if anything is wrong with my phone. ?

Thanks in advance

[HTC One X+] sreeju1:
I have flashed the boot.img. I am getting 3g when i reboot. But some times the network automatically switches to edge and my phone goes out of the network. I dont identify it till I try to make a call because the network range icon shows full range . then I have to reboot to fix it. This problem also happens when I get a call while 3g is enabled and then it switches to edge after the call is finished. And the phone goes off the network.

Hey,

I have been given Motorola Xoom and when I'm booting into recover it has got broken or wrong CWM. Tablet goes in the loop and I see that CWM Droid with exclamation and parts and pieces coming out of his stomach :)

I know that partition with CWM can be formatted from ADB, but i haven't done it for long time and never on tablet.

Could someone tell me / confirm which partition installed CWM sits on ?

Also, what's the chance that something will go wrong and I won't be able to flash new CWM ?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlEsC:
If you can boot into Android (and you have root access), you can use Flashify.

Otherwise you can use "fastboot flash recovery you_recovery.img".
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] birkopf:
I don't have root. I also cannot flash recovery because CWM sit's there and is broken :(
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlEsC:
fastboot will overwrite you broken CWM

1) reboot in bootloader (command : adb reboot bootloader)

2) fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

You can find TWRP image here :

http://xdaforums.com/motorola-xoom/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-0-0-t2880998
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] birkopf:
I don't think I can flash recover over existing recovery. This will most likely lead to soft brick...

Before flashing twrp.img I need to format the partition where CWM sits currently.

- Do you know which partition is it and how to do it ?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlEsC:
Without root you won't be able to issue a mkfs command (as far as I know).

You can use :

fastboot format recovery

and/or

fastboot erase recovery
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] birkopf:
Sounds good. So, just to confirm

- I need to first clear the recovery partition with commands you wrote above

- Flash new recovery from the link you submitted in the post above

- Flash selected ROM from the SD card using new recovery

Does it all sound fine ?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlEsC:
Correct.

Choose carrefully you recovery image (BigPart or non-BigPart) depending on the ROM you wish to install.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] birkopf:
Thanks!

Just quick question : what is the BigPart or non-BigPart ?

Googling that doesn't produce any sensible results :(

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eserim:
OK, twice now this has happened.

The first time was after I updated some apps. The second was when I had installed a new app.

Initially several apps then fail to work, they open and close straight away.

I reboot and phone hangs on first M screen - before the swirly white bits.

Into recovery from there shows dead Android with open chest and Explanation mark (I think)

Factory reset from recovery fail doesn't seem to do anything

Only solution is to flash official ROM using RSD

Phone is totally UK Orange Stock - not unlocked or rooted.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManoBros:

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazou:
By looking at your other post you are using this zip file in RSD-lite: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2028814

As the Titel of the thread says, they are 'OTA' updates. So only usable through recovery and when going from a working 4.0.4 stock rom to 4.1.2.

That's why u are getting that error. The zip is not intended to be used through RSD-Lite.

U will need to get your hands on a JB RSD-Lite firmware zip file. This site: http://motofirmware.com/files/category/24-smi/

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
The problem probably is that Flashify doesn't have the functionality to flash bootloaders. It flashes boot image (kernel) Radio and recovery. I bet you flashed a bootloader image to your kernel partition. Lucky you didn't brick

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Sometimes unpacking the wrong image in a partition can screw the partition itself up, which wouldn't matter if he had BL or not. Brick doesn't mean wont power up. Brick just means unrepairable without a service centre.

Hello, I'm thinking about buying a Galaxy Tab S 10.5", I don't need LTE on my tablet but I don't want a laggy tablet on games like Dead Trigger 2, Real Racing 3, Need for Speed..

Is the snapdragon 800 version better for gaming/performance?

i have just yesterday went to a seller, whose add for Pro 12.2 i saw yesterday. i checked the tab, and i was no convinced! its TOO big! its like those old laptops with huge screens. it FEELS quite heavy and makes it more usable for showing stuff to others, like more than 3 people. i mean that about screen size. its too bright, for night use as well. it would kinda lite up the room ur in at night. almost IMPOSSIBLE for one hand use and its thicker than Tab S. for comparison, LTE Pro 12.2 is 753Grams whereas, LTE Tab S 10.5 467Grams. its 268Gb lighter, the Tab S! also noticeably thinner at 6.6mm where Pro 12.2 is 8mm thick.

and honestly if u need it for school, the thinner and lighter it is the better. i would suggest Tab S 10.5 any day.

Dont get the Nexus 9 yet, I exchange mine for the tab s 10.5 since Best Buy has the holiday sale for $399 but so far many apps arent optimized for the Nexus 9. I played some games on this tablet. its a bit laggy only on asphalt 8 but everything else is buttery smooth. I suggest put google launcher and google keyboard, it becomes a Nexus device in no time. It has a few updates that has stability issues so everything is good so far. Just hope Samsung does update it to lollipop. Samsung has a bad track record in updating tablets very late.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redenfredaesh:
I have used the entire of the 2014 galaxy tab and note tablet line. The note 12.2 is an enormous device. As someone stated earlier, it is like having a laptop with you. IMO if you like a 10" tablet, and don't mind the functionality of an S-pen, the Galaxy Note 10.1" (2014 edition) is very close in hardware specifications, to the Galaxy Tab S 10.5.

The Note is 299 ppi vs 288 ppi on the Tab S. Battery for the Note is 8220mAh where the Tab is 7990mAh. They both have the exact same camera, 8pm, with a 2mp front camera. Wifi, Bluetooth and USB are all exactly the same. Dual band AC wifi, Bluetooth 4.0 and USB 2.0.

The Note however is a Snapdragon processor, meaning if you wanted to root or install a customer rom, there is a greater chance of developer support over the Tab S.

I hope this helps. Anymore questions, just shoot me a message.
