[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadega:
Simply put the root.zip file in your extSD without moving it in any folder just simply move or copy it in your extSD

Enter the recovery (cwm) menu by pressing Vol+ Home and power key and simply flash the root.zip file

You must be on CWM recovery not the stock one
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Razvan:
Correct for first explanation, but that work from stock recovery without any problem.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadega:
Ohh sorry I did'nt knew it...

I never tried anything with stock recovery and never recommended anyone to use it for flashing purposes thinking that might cause the device to misbehave

Until I'am successful in trying any new thing with my device I don't recommend it to others thinking it may harm his/her device which was the reason I recommended him to be on CWM recovery...

BTW that you senior, I'll remember it in future:)

Hello... I have recently went through the action of soft bricking my SGH-T959V.. After trying multiple ways by using ODIN to un-soft brick my device.. I have noticed that I stopped coming on or in other words stopped showing the Soft brick screen.. When it was Soft bricked I had no fear or Panic but now I'm getting a little worried.. Perhaps you can help?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Razvan:
Sir,

Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.

Until then you can try this guide: Heimdall][One-Click] The T959V Heimdall One-Click Collection [12/10/2012]

Stand by

Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Major-Traiin592:
Thank You for your help... I had figured out a way to resolve this problem by flashing my stock ROM via Odin...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomasbell:
you can fix the boot problem, even if you get the dreaded not able to communicate pc phone symbol on power up, by flashing boot.img with heimdall. command:

heimdall flash --kernel boot.img
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomasbell:
I don't know if this will help you since you sent me a message in February, but i still use this as my main phone and I'd be glad to help. This phone is almost impossible to brick. I've been in your spot many times. You need to download heimdall for whatever operating system you are on. You need to install drivers through the zadiag in heimdall. Make sure java is installed on your pc, and go to the command prompt in windows by going to start, run , type cmd. [enter]

for linux it's searching for terminal and opening up the app.

cd to the directory where you have an extracted boot.img from the ROM.zip you are using.

type heimdall flash --kernel boot.img and you should be good to go.

if that doesn't work for you you are doing something wrong.

you can also fix this by flashing the Stock + Root One click.jar, you can do this with heimdall but as in the previous method, you don't use the gui, you go to your command prompt, and type java -jar Stock + Root One click.jar, or java -jar [the one click.jar filename]

these are the two commands that will recover your boot no matter what happens to the phone

heimdall flash --kernel boot.img (you may have to do this twice, once reboot and one more time) (this should be done if it's just a boot problem)

java -jar thefile.jar (for last resort)
[Samsung Gear VR] AspenMan:
I must be missing something, I can't seem to find a way to read or leave reviews for apps in the Oculus app store for the Gear VR. I can see the reviews stars and seems most apps are rated "comfortable for some". Where do I go to read full reviews and write my own? I'm sure it's something simple I'm missing. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
[Samsung Gear VR] AspenMan:
Bueller?... Bueller?...
[Samsung Gear VR] Powerslash:
Not sure maybe it's not possible yet but will most likely will be when the official retail store launches.
[Samsung Gear VR] AspenMan:
Interesting. I wonder where they're getting the star ratings from?...
[Samsung Gear VR] Powerslash:
Oh i missunderstood you, i thought you meant writing a review about the apps/games but rating them with stars is already possible, atleast someone at oculus explained how to but i forgot -.-
[Samsung Gear VR] AspenMan:
OK, I figured it out, at least how to give star ratings. In the Oculus app click on the menu and then library, from there you can give them star ratings. Still not sure where they're getting the comfort ratings from though...
[Samsung Gear VR] VRVoodoo:
They probably left the review typing off because they figured people couldn't type them with the phone in the goggle.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Playa82:
Hi Guys,

i got freezes when i charge it overnight (its connected to the original charger the whole night). I only can do a hard reset to use my device again because the touch-screen doesnt work then. This is very annoying because i use my device with Alarm to get up in the morning.

I already did a few clean installs (Cyanogenod Snapshots and Danvdh's Google Edition), wiped all caches and formated all data and caches aswell. I still got freezes. I get them from waking up my device (mostly in the morning between 5-6 am). All i see is a exclamation mark when i turn on the display. Then its frozen and i cant anything.

I already tried a few Modems and Kernels to test, but still freezes...

I use Modem I9505XXUGNK4 atm.

Any ideas ??? I really Need help with this !!!

Thanks

Have you tried the new 5.0 gpe from danvh? There was an issue with the charging animation and reboots.

Dumb question, did you clear /system in between flashes as well?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Playa82:
Yes, i formated System and Cache + i wiped everything too
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoLoCEL:
You should flash the latest stock firmware and see if the issue persists. If yes, try a different charger. If the problem still persists, I think it's a hardware problem. Probably battery or motherboard.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Playa82:
The Problem is only between 5-6 am. The whole day i got no Problems :( Should be a Problem with my Router maybe ?

i got no resets in my Settings there. maybe my Provider is doing a reset every day between 5-6 am and my device freezes then. i could try airplane mode too to test, right ?

I bought a new charger and battery today (both original). Maybe thats the problem.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Playa82:
i got News guys, i turned off wifi overnight an didnt plugged the charger to my device this night. No freeze !!! Yay !!!

So it only could be, charger, battery or Wifi, right ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Playa82:
ok, i had a freeze at work a while ago. but i got no wifi or charger there... now i dont know what to do :(
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tlailaxu:
Does it behave like this?:

You pick up the phone (it is in deepsleep),try to turn the screen on,it goes on,you try to unlock the screen and it just stops reacting to anything and turns the screen off after 20-30seconds?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Playa82:
Yes, exactly. You know a solution ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tlailaxu:
i had the same problem,the only way to get rid of it is to send it in/get the motherboard replaced.this is faulty hardware,not a software problem
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Playa82:
Damn, but i already got know activated. i dont get one for free :( Its about 1 and a half year old. The problem was solved a few snapshots form cm earlier and its only between 5-6 am. do you think its really a mainboard problem ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tlailaxu:
well,it wasn`t fixable on my device.Had it every time the device went to deepsleep.Send it in,they reflashed the firmware/kernels,said its alright now but it wasn`t.Same problem after 5 hours of use.Send it in again,they changed the board,fixed now.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Playa82:
but i tried airplane mode overnight and had no issues. looks like a wifi problem. but i odnt know if its hardware or software related. cyanogenmod fixed that a few snapshots before, bt i cant remember the m build :(

how was your battery-lifetime with that build?

can`t help you with that,hope you have luck and fix it
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spike97:
Same problem

Hy people, i have the same problem, but is not a specific hour when it freez, yesterday i picked up the phone and when i unlocked the screen, it freezed, but i don.t wait 30sec, i just lock/unlock it again and it work fine. The other problem was overheating..

and randomly restarting but i think i fixed it with a factory reset. What i want to tell now is that i installed "Root booster" before all these problemsc ocured. After it played with the kernel, do you all thing it might not restored the original settings? My phone is randomly heating sice i installed that **** on it...(even if i do factory reset)

Ps: i have a stock kernel/gt_505

Or the battery is guilty? It's draing pretty fast, after a day of use i put it to charge

(Solved)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spike97:
Hy, i haved the same problem, but what i did yesterday solved that. I hope this steps will help you:

1. Enter in Recovery Mode and select wipe data/factory reset

2. Clear cache partition

3. Go in Settings/More/App Manager and search for Touchwiz Home

4. Force stop then Clear data

5. Withouth exit from settings, restart your phone

6. When phone is on, screen will be black and will ask you witch program you wanna use, select Touchwiz home then press "always"

After this steps, i solved the problem for my phone, but another thing i done after that is delete all knox files with Titanium backup.

I hope this steps myght help you. :)

[General Questions and Answers] joemegahertz:
Hello I was hoping someone here could help me with a issue I am having.

I currently use a few cheap android phones as squeezebox clients to have audio throughout my house and I use my tablet to control what plays where. Recently the tablet I used went belly up and had no way to control my audio clients. Got me thinking on alternative ways to control the music that plays in my house.

I would like to have voice control over my music that plays. It doesn't have to sync or any other features of lms. No zone control or anything just simply play the song I select in the room the phone is in. I installed google now and open mic+ so my phones are always listening however I can not find any way to just say "computer play american idiot" or something to that nature. My music is all stored on my raspi so the app has to be able to communicate with my storage server. I know google has a music app, but i store my music offline and I don't want to have to upload it to every phone for local playback. Jumping through hoops for the setup isn't a issue however my significant other wants it to be as painless as using the tablet was to select what to play.

I've heard Yatse has voice control however it communicates with googles servers I believe for voice support. This would be a issue as I keep my various media on one network and my internet on a different WiFi network. All phones run at least jelly bean as well.

Any suggestions would be mightily appreciated!

If you updated to 5.0.1, they added in a new "Theater Mode" that shuts the screen off even when you have it set to stay on.

To shut it off, swipe down (To the mute screen), then swipe right and select Theater Mode.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CraigP17:
Im running my TyTN, on Cingular, with the Vanilla WM6. I installed the DST fix from Cingular.com/DST07, my time did NOT change when it was supposed to. So my question is: Is there an update out there for WM6? Is it built in WM6? Will i have to manually change the time every DST?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CJBS:
There is no need for a WM6 Daylight Savings Update. It should already be in the OS. Have a look here (very last question on page): http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/daylightsaving/default.mspx
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CraigP17:
ok, so i installed the file from Cingular.com, did that restrict the time change you think? can i unistall that?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] CJBS:
Silly question, but sometimes these things are overlooked: In your Regional Settings (Start -> Settings -> System tab -> Regional Settings), are you sure you've selected a Timezone for which the Daylight savings changes apply?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] richy240:

[LG G Watch R] Curbow:
So prior to update i'm pretty sure i was not having this issue.

Now, i'm updated and have not been getting my notifications.

What i have done to see if the issue can be fixed

-reset my phone

-reset the watch

-factory reset watch

-re-install app

After i do some of the steps above it will work but then eventually goes back to the same ole crap of not working. I'm getting a little irritated....

Thoughts?
[LG G Watch R] Curbow:
Nobody?
[LG G Watch R] Tonio78370:
Try to uninstall any non Wear app, reset and see what it does "clean". I had similar problems any time I used none Wear stuff. It works OK now with only Instaweather and Battery Wear installed. Mini Wear Launcher seems particularly difficult [emoji19]
[LG G Watch R] Curbow:
So are you saying that the mini wear launcher causes issues?
[LG G Watch R] Tonio78370:
Possibly... Mine works fine without and other threads also mention that they have problems with it. With all the respect for the developers, everything before the 5.0.1 update were more or less hacks because Google never published a developer kit until a few days ago. They all have to update their apps now this kit is available.
[LG G Watch R] Curbow:
Well, i think its a software issue so i am going to do process of elimination by starting to delete apps to see if one makes it stop.

Deleted:

-Rain Alarm: Still drops notifications

-Facer: Pending.......
[LG G Watch R] Tonio78370:
I would proceed the other way around. Start clean to see if it's really a buggy apps that causes the fault. If yes then install one after the other to find the culprit...
[LG G Watch R] Curbow:
I am now, nothing on it now. Gonna add something every 24 hours to see what happens.
[LG G Watch R] Tonio78370:
Fingers crossed [emoji6]
[LG G Watch R] rmx36:
Here should be the fix to this:

Go to your phone's settings, on my Nexus 6 there is a notification tab, you go to whatever your's is called, and find the checkbox to enable notifications to your android wear app. Hope this helps! Feel free to give me thanks.

Guys, i just stumbled upon this cool app, and screenrecord works! It did not work on all the other apps i tried...

This app does not even require root. It utilizes the screenrecorder api which comes with lollipop, and some workaround idk, but it works!

App name is shou.tv

Link to thread:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2476818

All you need to do is download it from playstore(its free). And go to settings and change encoding engine to software.

And if you need to change settings, change it and close the app and remove it from recents and then reopen app and start recording(if yoy change and just record, it doesnt work).

The quality isnt great, buy atleast it works.

Kudos to the developer!
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] Dr.Kalai:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraze1994:
As of about three days ago my One will not longer charge over USB. The phone detects that it's being plugged in, the computer recognizes it and the phone even acts like it's charging. Except it just won't charge. I've tried two different cables(one being the stock cable) and two different computers with the same result. I've done all of the tricks I was able to find on Google, such as holding power and vol- for two minutes, power and vol+/- for two minutes and holding it up to a light source to reset the light sensor. It also charges just fine in safe mode and with the phone powered off.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowFlare:
I have been researching on Power Consumption between 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi. the reason for that is my Exynos N910C seems to drain so much battery when it's on 5GHz WiFi during stand-by / sleep. And of course drains even more when in use.

My set up:

1. Asus RT-AC87U, WPA2, 2.4Ghz and 5GHz, SSID names are differentiated between the 2 bands, eg. WiFi and WiFi 5G.

2. Router placed on the Ground Floor around the back of the house. My Room is upstairs around the front of the house.

3. WiFi Signal strength: 2-3 bars for 2.4Ghz, 1-2 bars for 5Ghz.

4. Phone is not rooted, everything stock, latest firmware, bloatware disabled, only GMail Auto Sync, and WhatsApp running.

5. Phone has been Factory Reset and even reflashed with the latest firmware.

6. Under WiFi's Settings, I unchecked Smart Switch and under Advanced settings, I pretty much unchecked everything in there.

7. Under *#0011#, WiFi is set to Power Save ON.

This setup drains around 1-1.5hr per battery % on 2.4GHz (logged with Battery Monitor Widget) but 20-30 minutes per battery % when on 5Ghz.

At first I though, it could be because the signal is weak in my room, so I bought RP-AC52 and configured it as an Access Point (not as a Repeater) in my room. Once set up was completed, both WiFi band signal are now at full bar so I went to test it again..... but the battery drain rate remains the same! The phone is just 1.5 meters away from the Rp-AC52 Access point.

I've looked up on articles regarding the power consumption between the 2, they keep saying they should be the same, but it is clearly not at least on my phone.

Could anyone test 5GHz WiFi power consumption please and see if it's just me? Thank you in advance.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lodix:
Higher frequency always means higher consumption.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowFlare:
I kinda figured that part, but 3x the power consumption vs 2.4GHz? And I'm sure alot of people here with dual band routers prefer 5GHz, but I wonder if they are aware it's such a battery hog compared to 2.4Ghz... or even 4G.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zapek666:
A late answer here but if someone is searching in the thread.

On the 5 GHz band of the AC87U, I cannot seem to get the powersave mode of wifi to work, which would explain why the draining is so high.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isaac_T:
My experience of using 5ghz on my Snapdragon, is that it would always disconnect when the phone was asleep, even if I had always on. When I unlocked the screen it would take some seconds, then it would connect again to the WiFi. So I'm only using 2.4ghz now.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex Atkin UK:
I have never had any problems with 5Ghz on the Note 4 Snapdragon. The last time I checked I think it drained around 1%/hour, maybe less. The fact I'm using FreedomPop on it though does really hurt the battery for obvious reasons (constant VoIP connection).

I wish Google Apps were less aggressive though. I have my old Optimus 3D as a backup phone with an extended battery and gets 14 days WiFi off, 7 days WiFi on with Google apps signed out, only a couple of days with it signed in.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyanCr7:

Same. I guess you know by now why that happens. Reasons are DHCP timer, AP balancing, server side software bug, interference, ARP flooding and Wifi Multicast.

I have spent past few weeks scouring through the internet and finally learned about them all one by one.
