[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pthurmond:
SOLVED!!!!

Ok, so I finally got it fixed. Albeit accidentally as I didn't expect it to be fixed at this point.

Here is what I ended up doing:

Two factory resets.

Unrooted the phone (via these instructions: http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/07/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-all-variants.html).

One last factory reset at T-Mobile store by me (because they forced me to).

The wifi did not start working correctly again until after that very last factory reset that I did. The unroot process also does a factory reset. But, and this may be key, it downgraded my phone to 10c from 10m in the process. I then did an OTA to 10m after the final reset.

I unrooted it because T-Mobile's diag software detected it was rooted and said that made the warranty invalid. And after I unrooted it I took the phone back to the store and demonstrated the problem to the employee that sold me the phone in the first place. He tested it for about 10 minutes and came to the same conclusion as myself. He then had to go to his manager to approve the replacement.

They got out the new phone to replace it with then the manage told me that he was required to have us to one more factory reset. So I went into the settings on the phone and did one last reset. And for some reason, since this point, the wifi problem has gone away.

I think it is possible that something I did to the phone caused the problem in the first place. But since I did so much to it in the first few days (rooted and installed a ton of apps) I am not entirely sure. My two current theories are it was either caused by this malware infected flashlight app I installed that kept popping up the Play Store to install a particular app. Or it was caused by the rooting method I used.

The original rooting method I used was "Stump Root". So the second time around I used the PurpleDrake method. This is a tiny bit more tedious, but very effective and it didn't seem to break anything. Further, when I installed TWRP I made sure that I grabbed the recommended image for it that is specifically for the US T-Mobile LG G3 device and installed that using Flashify.

After I got it safely rooted I tested the crud out of it and it seems to be working fine.

One last thought. It is possible that somehow Titanium backup caused the problem when I restored text and call logs. But I seriously doubt it.

Anyway, if anyone has any questions for me about this please shoot me a message. I am more than happy to help.

Thanks,

Patrick
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] l6cum:
hello all

i have for sale a brand new MDA Compact III still sealed from T-Mobile. I took out a new T-Mobile contract and got this phone as part of the deal that we made for our company but i already have the ORBIT so i am selling this as brand new with the seal intact, so i havent even opened it yet. It will be locked to the T-Mobile network but i can probably get the unlock code for you if you want and will only charge whatever they charge me.

So looking for about £300 mark plus p&p etc etc

Payment via paypal will be best as usual.

Thanks

l6cum

PM me if interested

PS there is no Micro SD card, unless T-Mobile give you one?, and i can include TomTom 5 on disc with install instructions, and i have a few Pocket PC software and utilities which i have collected and a few movies which i have already converted can be thrown in aswell.......

First of all I'm sorry if i posted this in the wrong place. I just installed the Infamous custom rom and it's superb. Except one thing, the processor is supposed to go up to 2.7ghz but it never does. The maximum it goes is 1.49 ghz. I downloaded Trickster MOD from google play and I set maximum freq to 2.7 and when i tap apply settings it says "succes, changes aplied" but the max freq automatically changes the max back to 1.49.

How do I get my processors to run at 2.7ghz ?

So recently we received the NK3 update on the AT&T Note 4 and I looked on SRS Root's website and found that that our model the SM-N910A with the exact build number AUCU1BNK3 <-- aka the NK3 update apparently has been tested or else I don't think it would be on this list. I will try this when I get home. If it works I'll let you guys know and provide Screen Shots if it doesn't then ignore the SM-N910A NK3 build on SRS Root's list.

Kitkat on nexus 5

Recently, about a week, I will get a popup that says "failed to connect". I'm sure it is some app that I'm blocking from the Web, but the message has no identifier. So I don't know which app is trying to reach the Internet.

Is there a log or tool somewhere that would help identify which app is putting up that error message?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beekay201:
'adb logcat'
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anderson2:
So, do you mean in a terminal app, I enter

adb logcat > something.txt

Do I need to install a logcat app or just a terminal app?

Thanks for helping.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beekay201:
on the device, you need to become root to be able to use 'logcat'. 'adb logcat > something.log' would be the way to do it from a computer.

depends on how you want to go from here. you know that you can use either a computer or the device itself. so, what would be the easier way to achieve this?

a) 'adb logcat >futurelogfile.txt' would be nice, since it will redirect all logcat output to a file in your computer, ready for analysis; after this is running, just reproduce/wait for the bad behaviour ( :D on the device, ofc)

b) open a terminal app on the device, become root, run 'logcat > /sdcard/badbehaviour.log', go back to your homescreen leaving logcat running in the background, and reproduce/wait for the bad behaviour;

your choice. :)

EDIT: i wanted to remember stuff i knew existed, and i stopped by again to drop this link, for further reading on 'adb logcat' usage, if anybody wants to.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] FtaWolf:
Have u checked the cpu? It could be hanging.

Samsung unlock Bootloader on SM-870A.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cfaber:
Yeah, it doesn't appear to be out of control
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cfaber:
So I've been investigating this further, I've tuned various settings and shut off features I don't need or use, that said, I've gotten a best case, 4.2% battery drain an hour, this is even when the phone is completely idle as the testing I was doing was overnight when the phone should be quiet.

Switching back to the stock firmware which really only has been rooted and contains better battery status, testing the phone the same way, quiet, over night, little to no activity and I'm getting 0.2% to 0.3% battery loss. The disturbing thing about this is that there's much bloat still on the system and many garbage processes running.

So the last test last night was to clone the stock firmware into a rom slot and boot and run that. With that done I was seeing 6.8% battery draw an hour.

So zero changes, the only difference being how it was booted. At this point I'm now suspecting that TWRP or Safestrap it self are eating battery constantly, and that because it's one of those two doing it, none of the apps I'm using are able to detect this usage.

So my question is, how do you debug twrp / safestrap power draw, and is anyone else seeing this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
From what i understand i believe its literally not possible fot a recovery to use battery, so theres nothing really for you to investigate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] FtaWolf:
Seems to me that u should stay on stock slot then u have drain under control. No that's not what u wanted to hear.

AT&T u unlocked Lg G3 how about Sm-870A & Sm-900A.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cfaber:
So I factory reset the stock slot, grabbed a backup of it, then restored the rom image which was draining the battery to the stock slot. Doing so left me with less than 1% battery drain at a minimum from a full charge and a maximum of 3% while making calls, etc.

Taking that exact same image, and booting it off of rom-slot-1 yielded 7% minimum battery drain an hour at a minimum and 12% an hour when making calls.

I have no idea how TWRP sets up the rom slots, but if it's using loop device then it's possible theres a bug, resulting in a higher than normal battery drain.

Otherwise, I can't think of any other explanation as to why I'm seeing this behavior. It makes zero sense that the exact same rom (bit for bit) drains the batter so much faster on a rom slot vs stock rom slot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
From what ive read(not much since I don't use rom slots) rom slots are buggy at best and for a while it was highly suggested to NOT use them for any reason, so you cant really expect perfect functionality from one from what ive seen.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beeewell:
I'm running unlocked stock 183.46.10. The file system for my data partition is F2FS, and I believe it should be EXT4. I found this out by trying to install Bliss, and not getting past the boot animation screen. The suggested "fix" is to change data file system to EXT4.

Do custom recoveries "remember" the file system that was backed up? If I back up my system and then change file systems, when I go to restore, do I need to revert back to my original file system?

[EDIT] I answered my own question - TWRP does "remember" the original file system backed up, and will issue a warning that the restored system may not boot if you are restoring using a different file system. I went ahead and restored my backed up system, but now, my data partition is using EXT4 instead of F2FS. So far, all seems to work OK.

Hello all,

I was trying to follow the procedure that does the SIM Unlock but according to the thread it only works on 4.1.1 and I am on 4.4.2 with MJB and TWRP recovery on my SGH-i747.

Can I roll back to 4.1.1 LK3 STOCK that is on THIS page without issues? That page said you cannot revert back from 4.3 to 4.1.1 because your bootloader is updated, but I thought MJB was an unlocked bootloader.

Any help would be appreciated :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrrocketdog:
all i747 bootloaders are unlocked. ,i do now that you cannot downgrade from NE4 (KK) or you will brick! not sure about 4.3, hopefully someone will chyme in with more knowledge.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
[MENTION=5511100]mrrocketdog[/MENTION] is correct in that the s3 bootloader is not locked. The bootloader may be unlocked but this does not give you the ability to downgrade. Attempts to do so could hard brick your phone.

You cannot use the free method to unlock because you need the 4.1.1 stock dialler on your phone and the stock dialler will not work on a 4.3 (MJB) bootloader.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
Do not attempt to revert. Thus far MJB will hard brick if you try to revert to a previous version.

[About XDA developers] leonixyz:
Hello,

when I first came to xda-developers.com I was searching for a guide on how flashing cyanogenmod on my second device that I like to use for learning android app development. My experience was one of the most painful on the internet since I was 14 (now I'm 29).

1) Using a forum instead of a wiki for providing information to the user is confusing. It's ok for troubleshooting, if someone has particular problems, or for discussions, but for presenting contents like guides etc. is imho stupid. If each forum has its administrators, they could simply copy-paste the relevant sticky posts to the wiki, and the community will do the rest of the job by updating and refactoring the guides. The outcome will be thousand times better.

2) The guides are often written so bad, that one looses all hopes to fix a problem easely or quickly, and I really mean because of

how

they are written: coloured text, different text sizes, so much blank lines, and always the same f.......g disclaimer! Ok!! it's clear!! my warranty is void!! you don't have to tell it me each time I read a new topic! and even if you don't write that stuff, you aren't legally responsible for damages. I bet that's true in any country of the world! Communication shall be concise, clear, not redundant. That isn't the case for most of the topics I've read. You don't have to repeat each time you propose to use adb that I have to have Adroid Tools installed, that I have to have the latest update of that software, that if it's not installed I have to download it from that link and do this and that to install it, etc.

3) Odin's alternatives aren't mentioned the 99% of the cases. I'm a Linux user, and all topics I've read are targeted to Windows users.

Using a wiki instead of this vBulletin will solve these kind of problems. I hope I'm not the only one experiencing those problems.

Regards.
[About XDA developers] shinobisoft:
I'm afraid I'd have to disagree with you. For starters, XDA-Developers is a developers web site, developed by developers for developers, not the general public.

1) I was a Windows programmer long before Android. I knew absolutely nothing about Android when I joined XDA. Everything, I mean everything, I've learned about Android I learned here in the forums that you say are so difficult to understand. And I'm 44.

XDA's format has been the same for the years I've been here and it works for most. In my years here, this is the first complaint/gripe of this type that I've seen. Granted, I can't read every post in every thread in every forum. I can say this with some certainty, changing this web site is not as easy as Copy & Paste as you mentioned.

2) Bear in mind, most of the poorly written guides you speak of are written by people who's native language isn't even English. They are just trying to help any way that they can. I agree there are alot of redundancies in the guides here. I'm not gonna down someone's grammar that is obviously trying to teach/share what knowledge they have.

3) Odin doesn't apply to most devices, only Samsung that I'm aware of, that's why there are no alternatives for it mentioned. As for Linux verses Windows... Windows is the most widely used operating system, period. Hence the reason for little or no reference to Linux fixes, tools, etc.

For what it's worth, I'm sorry for your bad experience.

You tell him, [MENTION=4501943]shinobisoft[/MENTION]!

I'm also sorry for your bad experience, [MENTION=6216052]leonixyz[/MENTION], but the truth is, I have the same exact feelings as shinobisoft. Everything I've ever learned about Android (which is a healthy amount) has come from awesome people here on XDA.

I haven't been a member for too long, but I've been lurking around XDA since 2012 when I got my Nook Simple Touch. Now, I'm a developer for that device! :D

I dusted it off today and tried to Odin the T520UEUANK1 XAR image to it, which was a success. The tablet now runs through the Samsung boot screen as normal, but never actually boots.

If I boot to Odin mode, binary is listed as Samsung official but system status says custom and Knox warranty value of 1

Does anyone know what I can do at this point to try to recover my tab?
