[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mujtabay:
Ok so. I bricked my gt-i9505, and i have tried everything to try and fix it. The problems are as follows:

Phone wont turn on

Wont boot to recovery mode

Odin, Kies and pc wont recognize phone

The things i did that got me to a bricked phone are i flashed paranoid android onto the phone and tried to flash gapps full modular, it wasnt working, clockworkmod gave me a status 6 error and so i decided to use mobile odin to flash it as soon as it began the phone crashed and it wont turn on anymore. i am able to go into download mode

I need some help if anyone can help. I dont know what to do.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Razvan:
Sir,

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

Stand by

Until then read/ask in this thread: How to Unbrick Samsung Galaxy S4?

Good luck
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
If the phone won't turn on at all you might be boned.

Odin and all that obviously require you to be able to boot to download mode.

Are you positive the battery is good? Could you find another battery to try?

Does the charging light come on when its plugged in? Are there any signs of life at all?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mujtabay:
I think it does turn on because the phone does continue to heat up but its just a black screen also i can put it into download mode and it stays there without being plugged into charge. I'm not sure about the battery ill have to check that out. ill get back to you.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
It sounds like you dont have recovery or a rom installed at all.

To fix that you need odin. If the PC wont recognize the phone that is a problem. Did you try a different USB cord to connect to the PC? They are not all created equal.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mujtabay:
yes i have used both the original one that came with the phone and the s5 one that my brother has, i have had no luck.

my phone shows up as "msm8960" or mtp usb device also it it device driver software was not successfully installed.

[UPDATE] i have found something similar to odin called JOdin3 that connects to my phone, through this i will try to flash a stock firmware, downloaded from sammobile, and see what happens.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Odin doesn't work without the drivers, and since you had an issue with the drivers that would explain why Odin doesn't work yet JOdin3 does.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mujtabay:
I installed the samsung drivers several times and it still wouldn't connect to the pc, i also installed kies and it still wouldn't work, but it was working before i bricked my phone. i have fixed my phone through JOdin3.But thank you everyone for your help.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Will it connect now through Odin or Kies?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mujtabay:
No it still wont connect to either but the computer does recognize the phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
MTP is built into Windows, so the fact the PC detects the phone is a good sign. The entire problem you're having seems to hinge on your PC rejecting the Samsung drivers, which are absolutely required for Odin to function. Those drivers should have no problems installing, and I have successfully installed them on both Windows 7 (x64) and Windows 8.1 machines so I know the installer does work.

There could be many reasons as to the source of your problem, such as a corrupt file or registry entry from when the phone soft-bricked. You want to take a closer look and do some detective work here. Uninstall the drivers if you haven't already done so. Clean out the PC with CCleaner. Even attempt a reinstall of the drivers in the PC's safe mode. Regardless of what you choose to do, if you ever wish to use Odin, you'll need to get this resolved.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mujtabay:
yeah ill definitely try to fix the problem because odin is such a great tool. i have uninstalled and installed the samsung drivers but i'll go search the net and what not to try and find a fix. odin was working before when i flashed the stock rom and changed something to mtp and adb (i think i put in an ussd code or something (*#0808#) and through that i was able to use odin) but because the wifi wasn't working on the stock rom, i flashed a custom rom to fix the wifi problem but was once again greeted with the odin problem.
[Moto X Q&A] chiquito3:
Hello guys and happy new year to all of you!

I'm about to pull the plug for a phone for my daughter. I've been thinking on a Galaxy S3 or a Moto X.

She says that she wants the phone to have a nice front camera for selfies.

Which one do you guys thinks that takes better selfies pictures?

Also which one is the best choice over all?

Thanks
[Moto X Q&A] Usama Ahmed:
I happened to have both Galaxy S3 and Moto X. And as far as camera is concerned, Galaxy S3 has better camera hands down. In both photo and video quality there is no comparison, S3 is far better. But if you say overall so i would pick Moto X any day. Moto X has stock UI which is very very smooth. I am using it for almost 6 months and i have not seen any lag since day1 compare to Samsung Touchwiz, no matter what you do, it will lag. Even you can see lag in Galaxy S5. Also Moto X is currently on Kitkat 4.4.4 and will soon get lollipop 5.0 compare to Galaxy S3 which is stuck on Jellybean 4.3.
[Moto X Q&A] npiper05:
I have an S3 for work and its probably one of my least favorite android phones I've used (of the 10-15 my wife and I have had). As a poster mentioned, the lag that Touchwiz causes is awful. I have older phones that run smoother than the S3. You could root and run something else I suppose, I don't as its a work phone. I think moto hardware is vastly superior to Samsung.

I am not sure which takes better photos as I never take pictures with my S3. Overall, Moto X over S3 all day. I've had no lag with my X, after figuring out the settings I'm a me to get about 15 hours on battery with close to 4 hours screen on, and I like active display and the shake to open the camera.

Hope that helps and good luck.
[Moto X Q&A] AlbertoM:
What did they sat at the Galaxy S3 site? :P
[Moto X Q&A] nhizzat:
Had one before my Moto X, the only thing similar is that they both run Android. The Moto X runs circles around the S3.

It's great that you want to treat your daughter to a new phone, but the quality of selfies isn't something you shouldn't be concerned with. I'd be concerned with battery life and signal in case of emergencies. Tell her too bad so sad if she's not happy with the quality of her selfies.
[Moto X Q&A] scryan:
I had an S4, and performance wise is was about on par with the X.... Better rear camera on the S4 for sure, not sure about the S3 or the front camera, not a lot of selfies...

The Moto twist for camera lets you twist the phone twice to launch the camera even when locked, then again to switch between front and rear cameras.... This does make it easier to take pictures imo, but the moto X is know for a pretty poor (rear) camera.
[Moto X Q&A] chiquito3:
Thanks a lot guys for all your comments!!
[Moto X Q&A] D1ck3y0da:
I just got an s3 and I love it. Its smooth. Runs nice. No lag yet and the front facing cam is 1.9 megapixels. Rear is 8 megapixels.

I'm sure once I get all my apps installed it might slow down a little but the dual-core 1.2 processor is still pretty powerful if you know how to manage your phone.
[Moto X Q&A] Jooosty:
Moto x! I just got this phone and even though it is from 2013 it still kicks ass

Also. Impending Android 5 update > whatever the S3 is running lol
[Moto X Q&A] :
The S3 is terrible. May as well save money and buy an S2 if you go that route.

The camera may be as good or better than the X, but buying a completely inferior device based only on the camera is ridiculous... To me anyway. ?

But to each their own. She probably wouldn't know the difference, so get whatever makes her happy. Though the eventual lag and ugliness of the S3 may be noticed by her. ?

The X is incredibly better than the S3 in absolutely everything... Camera maybe is a tie... But otherwise. I prefer my S2 to the S3 I briefly had. ?
[Moto X Q&A] chiquito3:
My other daughter has a S3 and she likes everything but the camera. Well I have to say is running Likewise rom from the S3 Fotums Section. I was thinking that maybe a Z1 Compact but that phone is still to expensive. Btw at the moment shes using a Lumia 1020 that feels great to use but the lack of the most popular apps does not help the windows phone platform.

[Android General] Yeti12:
These are two concepts/mockups I've designed to give an idea of what the Facebook app could look like in Material Design.

Current app design

Material Design Concept 1 - similar to the original with tabs.

The bottom bar has been replaced by a FAB that would expand into 3 options to chose from (update status, share location etc.)

When scrolling tabs would stay and the action bar would hide

Material Design Concept 2 - Google style with no tabs and a navigation drawer

Uses Google style notification icon, help and support moved to the overflow menu

Nagivation Drawer open

FAB works as in concept 1, friend requests were moved to the drawer and messenger doesn't have an icon shortcut (possible to message from the profile)

These are just concept ideas and all comments are welcome, I personally wish the Facebook app would look like that
[Android General] Yeti12:
Facebook Messenger Material Design

Here's a concept for the Facebook Messenger app

(original current app)

Message Shadow Test
[Android General] abhatia1435:
Awesome!

This is super Awesome.. Send these to facebook.. They just look great.. And i think everybody would love them! Awesome Concept! :thumbsup:
[Android General] Yeti12:
Thank you! Its great to hear something so positive! And interestingly i have actually sent the Facebook designs to Facebook, just not the messenger, pretty sure their apps are not made by the exact same people so not sure where I could send them
[Android General] panchovix:
So good

Very good design, i would even use facebook hahaha
[Android General] T-Rex:
this is just oustanding if facebook adopt yoyr concept i will be more than happy
[Android General] kitesoftware:
really good design

Yeah itss a good design !!! lovely
[Android General] Yeti12:
Thank you guys! I really appreciate your feedback and the main reason I've designed these designs is because I wish the app looked like that myself.

2 Questions to everyone though:

Do you prefer Concept 1 or 2 for the main Facebook app?

What are the opinions on the Facebook Messenger app in Post 2?

Thanks again!
[Android General] T-Rex:
i prefer the first concept for facebook app because it's easy to move btw tabs

messenger looks great too
[Android General] Yeti12:
Very understandable :) Thanks for feedback!
[Android General] Yeti12:
Small Update: The Messenger post was updated with the original app screenshot and a Message shadow test, some images updated with small spacing adjustments.
[Android General] sohan3421:

Maybe I just rang in the New Year a little too hard, but I am having trouble figuring out where the download link is? :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 7175:
zzpianoman knows what's up! Rom's running great, plus love the recommended apps. Data, camera, adb wireless working well. I'm able to load touch control modules, but I couldn't get "ponury stock modified" to work, causes reboot. I'll try some other ones.

Click the downloads tab at the top of the post. The downloads are part of the xda-db.

EDIT: Thanks zzpianoman, updated touch control, working well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zzpianoman:
It's in the downloads tab: http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/?id=7473#downloads
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zzpianoman:
Hmm. Just to verify, I am using TouchControl v2.2.1. I know the rebooting issue was a problem with an earlier version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ibenjakinov:
Is data working on this ROM?

I was on unofficial LS and did not have working data. I did a complete wipe (except for internal) and flashed this ROM with the latest nano gapps.

I do not have working data on this ROM. I had some SIM card errors on LS and I'm now wondering if I have a problem with the SIM card now!? Before I try going back to a factory image, do you have any ideas?

Otherwise the ROM runs great! Thanks for getting the camera working!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zzpianoman:
Data should be working. I have found that sometimes after an initial boot (long boot where caches are rebuilt) data will not connect until I switch into and out of airplane mode but subsequent boots should be fine. There has been a longstanding issue with CyanogenMod ROMS on the Verizon Galaxy Nexus circa Android 4.3 and not being able to get data after switching out of airplane mode. I wrote a script that essentially monitors the airplane mode switch, and gracefully kills the phone process after you switch out of it so that data will reconnect. Just make sure you wait at least a second or two before switching out of airplane mode to make sure the script has time to register the toggle.

Hopefully there will be a more graceful solution in the future, but this seems to work well for the time being.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rajsingh245:
No Data

I haven't gotten data to work at all. Wiped data and cache, then installed the ROM and Micro GApps. I've tried rebooting, then putting in Airplane Mode then taking it off. According to the phone, there has been no data consumed at all.

Love the fact that the camera works, though. Great stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zzpianoman:
Have you tried toggling between 3G and LTE under mobile network settings? I remember I was having an issue early on where I would only get a data connection if I first connected via 3G and then switched over to LTE. I thought I had resolved this, because my data is working fine now as I am able to get LTE without having to connect first to 3G. Give that a try and see what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rajsingh245:
Thanks for the quick response. I tried that already, then just tried it again. Both times to no avail. If you have any other suggestions, I'm more than willing to try them
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zzpianoman:
Try this: set the preferred network type to 3G/CDMA then switch on airplane mode. Wait 5 seconds. Switch off airplane mode and see if you get a 3G connection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zzpianoman:
AHHH!! I figured it out!!!! I goofed and accidentally included CyanogenMod apns-conf.xml instead of the correct one for L. The reason it worked on my build is because I flashed without doing a full wipe. So sorry! I'll fix this and upload a new build TODAY!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rajsingh245:
Nice! Extremely grateful. Thanks for the work. Loving how smooth the ROM is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zzpianoman:
Okay. Flash this file in recovery and you should have working data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ibenjakinov:
Thanks! That definitely fixed data for me!

I did go back to a factory image today and then back to this ROM and it still wasn't working....I was at a loss until I saw the last few posts!

Thanks for figuring it out and also getting the camera working!! Your hard work is greatly appreciated!! Now I can send my buddy Chuck some *****SLAPchats since snapchat is now working!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zzpianoman:
Awesome. Yeah, I actually had the right APN's all along but then I decided to re-sync the vendor repo for Cyanogenmod, and simply forgot that I had replaced the APNs several weeks ago when I started this whole thing. I didn't catch it because I flashed this build without doing a full wipe, so my old APNs had already been registered.

Also, on the off chance this has anything to do with it, whenever I start up the phone it goes into a bootloop on the "Warning:Your bootloader is unlocked" screen. It takes about ten minutes of looping to start up.

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freeusername:
Sounds to me it is a problem with the wlan driver module, try after attempting to turn wifi on, check dmesg output lines on shell related to wlan also you might want to check the output of command

insmod /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko

if it reports any error.

My wild guess is it is a mismatch between the kernel version and the module version and/or related to the whitelist it uses to load modules. Maybe your module wasnt updated or something bizarre happened. Anyways the commands above would give some insight.

Good luck.
