[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] D3Seeker:
So as we all know, when you connect this phone to a computer via USB connection it first automatically connects as an installer, then it switches to MTP -_- (or better yet you manually switch it over)

There was one method I ran across of unlocking the hidden menu to access the USB settings and switching the options so they stick. Doesn't work for me. It only sticks that first connect after reboot, then back to the installer nonsense.

Might there be another way to force the phone to automatically connect as with MTP by default? (because lets be honest IF you install the VZW software once that's all you need, not EVERY TIME you plug in to the pc)

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kmartburrito:
Hey all,

I have been running the underground crossbow rom for a week or so, and I must say that I like it a LOT. For those that have a Cingular 8125, I would greatly recommend this rom.

I have noticed a couple quirks, and wondered if anyone has experienced them as well. First of all, OMAPClock isn't retaining its setting. I check it every once in a while to make sure it's still running at 252, and it's back at 180. I verified this speed in TCPMP. I decided to try the OMAPClockPlus helper, and when I registered it as a notification, it seemed to be fine until I did a reset, in which it wasn't registered anymore. I couldn't even find the notification it was supposed to create. So that did absolutely nothing for me.

Next I tried manually making a notification in memmaid that pointed to the /windows/startup/omapclock.lnk that I made that has the -clock 252 parameter after it. Even though this is set to run at wakeup and still appears in my notification queue, I check it and often it's back to 180. Any ideas?? Do I have a bum version of OMAPClock? It's the one that came with the rom. Oh, forgot to mention. I commented out the line in the smartskey ini that calls omapclock since I made a notification. It works fine for a while after resetting, I assume until it goes asleep. This tells me that the notification works as it is set to 252 when I reset, but that something is failing later. Maybe some of you that know more about omapclock and how it works can shed some light.

My next issue is with Windows Mobile Device Center (ActiveSync Replacement in Vista) and bluetooth. Has anyone successfully set this up in Windows Vista? I don't like WMDC, activesync was easier to set up. basically with wmdc you can't choose which BT port to allow, you can only choose "use bluetooth." This being said I can never get "ActiveSync" to show up as a service when pairing my phone. I tried installing AS 4.5 beta and WMDC wouldn't allow me to even install it. I'd like to get it working with BT, so if anyone has a success story, would you mind sharing it?

I am hoping the omapclock issue isn't related to the rom, as I really like it so far. I used it with no problems on every other rom I've had so far. Thank you for reading this short novel, and thank you also in advance for any expertise you can share!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] zakhir_n:
Sorry, I cannot help you with you Omapclock issue, but I can provide some insight to your WMDC and bluetooth issue, because I ran into the same problems.

My computer shipped with the Toshiba bluetooth stack, and that automatically installs a port for ActiveSync on Comm 7. However, after switching to the default bluetooth stack in Vista, I was able to add an Incomming Port (ended up being Comm 4), and then ActiveSync showed up as a service on my fone. I have read places that people cannot get WMDC and Bluetooth to work if they are running the Widcomm stack, and I can personally say it was impossible with the Toshiba Stack. I guess because the built-in bluetooth stack is Windows made, WMDC knows where to look to get the incomming port, becuase as you stated, you cannot specifiy it. My advise, therefore, would be to use the default windows stack, and add an incomming port, which hopefully will solve your problem.

The problem with the default bluetooth stack in Vista is that it doesnt support some key profiles, A2DP being one of them. To me, bluetooth connectivity with my phone was more important than wireless headphones, so I switched to the default stack.

Let me know if this works out.

[Verizon LG G3] neckbonest:
in order for V4A to work with poweramp just go into poweramp/settings/adio/advanced tweaks and uncheck direct volume control and should work fine

Thanks for the reply. I had already done that though.

Will changing values in this app cause an ota to fail? OTA fails when manually making the edits. And if yes, does the ota then work after using the restore values option?

[Verizon LG G3] lexluthor:
I will email the developer and see if he has a definite answer for me.

Running the same rom; lollipop variant, Viper4android and LG Music app. Did you check to see if direct audio control in Poweramp is unchecked? It is in the audio/advanced setting. It should be to run Viper4android. I had Poweramp as my DD on my prior phone. I can not run it yet in lollipop. Check that out and report back. Gary

[General Questions and Answers] SiberianLeopard:
When you get a new Android phone, you are the Windows equivalent of a "Standard user".

When you get SU access, you become "Administrator" (The technical term for linux systems is "root").

So, that being said, is it possible to exploit the Windows desktop operating system and gain Administrator-level permissions as a standard user?

In an oversimplified statement:

Can you "root" Windows?
[General Questions and Answers] alray:
I don't understand why you would need to have administrator privileges on a standard user account when you are free to switch from standard to admin and even to use the admin account as the default account....
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Yes it can be done. As stated above. There are also scripts that will make the current user the owner of all folders and files.
[General Questions and Answers] SiberianLeopard:
I would want to do it because I am currently using library computers and I need to install drivers for my phone and it won't let me because I'm not an admin. I need the drivers to use ADB (use the links in my signature to look at the stuff I need ADB for). I already tried rebooting in Safe Mode (for XP). I also need it for Windows 7.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
You won't find anything to work if their IT was good enough as you would have to download the script to do it.
[General Questions and Answers] alray:
Oh I see. There are good reasons why public computers doesn't have admin privileges, and you shouldn't try to tamper a computer that you don't own. And like zelendel said above, their IT probably did everything to lock that pc...
[General Questions and Answers] SiberianLeopard:
What is the script called?
[General Questions and Answers] alray:
Idk, I never had to use a script to gain admin privileges. Never used public computer for this kind of things.

I just update to Android 5.0

When i enter Google Play it says i have to do an Obligatory Autentication ( I mean Autenticacion Obligatoria) and it doiesn't let me donwload anything, also when sync my Google Account it says it has some incidences, also i can't erase my Google account because i don't have permission. Also it says in a Notification that an App neds to be updated by Google Play services but i csn't because i can't enter Google Play.

It seems like they shouldn't release Lollipop at least for Nexis 4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venu123:
If you already have a google account and its misbehaving, either do a factory reset and set up your phone again. Or try adding a second google account and then erase the original account. The Google playservices notification is a bit of a bug, try downloading the latest apk from apkmirror and install it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aloarayacr:
Ok, but the think is that i can erase or add a Google account, when i try to erase it it says that Device Manager is active, i try to deactivate it but nothing, also i downloaded the apk but when i try to open it it says error

Also i want to do a factory reset but i have more than 1000 songs i don't mind about other things, i just want to save my songs, but when i connect to my computer with Windows 8.1 it detects the Nexus but i can't see the files, it doesnt prompt anything.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venu123:
Check in Device Manager on your PC, if the phone shows up as an Unknown Device, you need to install/ reinstall the usb drivers. For windows 8.1 try the Universal ADB drivers (google for the link).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aloarayacr:
The solution to all Lollipop bugs is to uninstall Google Services and then reinstall and updated apk, i was plagued with all of this bugs, i managed to deactivate Android Device Manager and i uninstall Google Services, all of my Google Apps were gone it was pretty weird so i install a Google Services apk and now its smooth as f-word, i will never buy a Nexus cause of this but if all updates were as fluid as know i would love all of this but i had many headaches because of all the trouble that updating cause to my N4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crackednut:
Had a similar issue with the OTA update this morning. You need to get the latest version of the Google Play Services apk. Check this thread for the download link posted by Hashim. You need to check the correct version for your phone. Its a 30 mb file and takes around 20-30 min to install. All the bugs you mentioned were fixed on my phone.

So a person had left their phone at work(which is totally unreal that somebody would forget a $500+ phone) 8/16. So our policy is after 60 days and its not claimed then anybody can claim it. So as of 11/22 nobody claimed it and I ask to take it. The battery was obviously dead and there was no charger. I came home and checked the IMEI on Swappa and it came back clean. So that means the person who lost it didn't put in a lost claim for it correct?

I guess I could always put it up on Ebay or something.

I charged it when I got in, and it was locked with a Knock code, so I guess I can just wipe it. There was no memory card but a sim
[AT&T LG G3] mrhaley30705:
Contact the carrier. They can contact the owner through the sim information

[AT&T LG G3] acparker18:
Wow you sound kind of sh**ty. You never thought to take it to the freaking carrier? You know d**n well they would know exactly whose phone it is. The person may not have known about having your IMEI blacklisted when you lose a phone. You were just trying to get a free phone. I hope you lose your phone one day and no one bothers to return it to your carrier. I apologize for the rudeness of this post, but you sir, are an a*shole.

P.S. Edited for language because people like you need to find a different site to troll
[AT&T LG G3] Greatness83:
Wow guy lol. You seem awful hurt right now. Ok for 1 I'm no troll. I been here long enough and active enough for that not to happen. 2. I'm on a totally different carrier and totally different phone, I don't need it and 3 even if I did lose my Note, I would've filed a claim with insurance and if I didnt have insurance I would've called the carrier months ago. keyword in that was MONTHS ago. You act like you never found anything before, and technically I didn't find it, we waited it out. So insult me all you want

Oh and fyi the right thing was done. I was able to get the phone number last nite and had it looked up and I retrieved their email and emailed them .

Im done explaining myself to you, which really I shouldn't have anyway

Mods please close thread. All handled now

[AT&T LG G3] acparker18:
Just don't like hearing about someone taking advantage of a situation when they know better. Also, according to your post to thanks ratio, you don't seem too helpful, so I shouldn't have expected different. Don't post about you trying to get a free phone from someone on a site that is meant to help people with their devices. Sorry for the rudeness, I am a crude individual, but I'm sure no one would want this to happen to them. And just because someone may not have the common sense to report the phone lost or stolen does not mean they deserve to have it taken. I agree though, the mods should close this thread as the right decision was made in the end, and for that, I commend you.

I misplaced my nexus 5 some months ago and I blacklisted it with my carrier. To this day I haven't received any information to where it is. I still hope somebody "does the right thing" and returns it to att instead of keeping it.

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this before or not BUT!

I have a Toto Tv Lap One netbook and I can't get it too reboot by following the only instructions available. In my search for answers I've noticed lots of posts in a lot of different places from people having problems rebooting or being stuck in a boot loop. It seems strange to me that something so basic should be such a common problem across a wide range of manufacturers. It's a problem had by phones, tablets and netbooks. Is this mainly an Android problem? Are there any hacks out there to bypass this problem in some way? I've had people tell me it's just a cheap device and that I should toss it.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QuadCannons:
About 3 weeks ago my phone started acting up with fast battery drain (about 20-25% per hour) and would be quite warm (90F in normal room temperature while idle).

Some notes:

It's warmest around the camera lens

CPU use is low/nil

Turned on power saver and airplane mode, same deal

Becomes even warmer if I charge it while phone is on

I've swapped in another N3 battery, same deal

I've taken out the sim and memory card (Samsung EVO)

I've done factory resets and formatted the memory card, same deal

It doesn't matter whether I have strong or weak reception.

And the best part...

the phone is slightly warm and the battery

drains even when powered off

(about 10-15% per hour)

I was on Hyperdrive 7 (4.3 and MJE) when this happened. Took this chance to update to the DeOdex 4.4.2 and now on NC2 but whether on stock rom or Hyperdrive 8 or Alliance, the problem still persisted.

I've tried searching for anyone with the same problem as me both on these forums and on Google, no luck. Closest I found was a bunch of guys in Singapore where going to another SEA country overworked their antenna but their problem was fixed as soon as they returned to Singapore.

Any suggestions?

p.s. I bought this phone used. Assuming I have to call Samsung for warranty service, will they want me to be the original purchaser? I don't have any documents showing the original purchase although the phone's manufacturing date is December 2013 so I'm clearly (though barely) still within the 1 year warranty period.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matsuyamakaze:
For warranty I believe they ask for the serial of the device also I had nothing but issues with Samsung reps so word to the wise call get it replaced don't tell them it's used act like it's yours and get the most of the warranty if someone gives you issues hang up call back completely different person will answer and eventually give you what you want. Took me 3 months to fix my charger issue on my note 3 5 reps lied to me saying it was shipping when in fact they just wanted to push me on to someone else and I wasn't even in the system when they act like there looking you up. I eventually talked to a manager that said they did everything wrong from telling me how to ship arrival etc so this is my advice don't give up don't listen to all the reps most don't know anything about phones if so ask to talk to a manager or supervisor that is golden good luck

After updating to 4.4.4, my phone was doing the same thing you described. I went into Wi-Fi settings/advanced, and turned off "notify me when Wi-Fi connections are available"; changed "keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to only when plugged in; and turned off "always allow scanning". After changing these settings, my phone is no longer overheating when plugged in or sitting idle and my battery consumption is back to normal. Apparently my Wi-Fi was constantly scanning, whether on or off, and keeping my cpu clock almost maxed. Again, after changing the settings, the cpu clock has settled back down.
