[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cymbaline24:
CM has been working on it; I believe they just pushed two new BT commits to try to fix some of the issues in the last day or so. I haven't tried out any updated ROMs to see if it helped yet. I reluctantly left BlissPop and tried out Slim Saber with AK kernel (someone somewhere said BT worked on it) and after a couple kernel tweaks I didn't have a single skip to or from work today. And it turns out it's a pretty damn good ROM too.

Won't swear to it, but I'm pretty sure that's one of the ones I tried and it still skipped.

No BT playback problems with Validus ROM

Had continuing problems with Temasek nightly. Switched to [ROM][5.0.2][02/04][OFFICIAL] GzRoms -Validus- [v7][Bacon] yesterday and have had zero BT music playback issues with Performance mode enabled. Couldn't be happier with this ROM.

So with this thread I would like to tell you what happens when you use cheap magnetic chargers.

But most of all to WARN you to be careful, because I didn't have any indication or even heard that this was possible before it happened to me.

I got my new phone twenty something days ago and today I got my cheap magnetic charger from ebay.

Not knowing there is a significant importance in the way you plug it, I managed to do it the wrong way....

What happened:

The phone shut itself off.

When connected to the wall plug it only flashes in red.

When connected to PC (win 7 64x) it pulses slowly but still no go.

When you try to flash firmware - not recognized.

When you try hard reset (volume up key + power button) - no go.

When you try the hard reset red button next to sim holder (I didn't even knew it existed) - again no go.

When you try pressing every button and praying - no go.

When you curse and threaten it so loudly that your neighbors call the police - no go.

I will try 2 more things - discharging the battery completely and charging it again over night to see what happens. If any improvements appear or don't I will edit the thread so you can learn from my misfortune and hopefully avert one of your own.

And now for the fun part:

Q: What does a XZ1c + cheap magnetic charger add up to ?

A: Red Christmas lights.

Q: What happens if you do the same thing as me?

A: You teach your phone to play dead.

Q: What should you say if people ask if your phone is bricked?

A: Tell them that you googled images of dark chocolate :)

And if you want to know how the cable looks like here's a link - next to it you can see burned to black 200 euros :crying:

[IMG="cable of hell"]http://media.snimka.bg/s1/4279/034802453.jpg[/IMG]

Update

Phone is completely and utterly bricked.

Discharging and charging has no effect.

Flashtool doesn't recognize the phone when I want to flash ftf.

Another person with the same issue contacted me, he told me that these are the signs of a burned mobo, in his case the lcd was a goner too...

So now you know, please if you read this be careful, this could happen to other xperias with magnetic charging I suppose

For the people that posted up till now:

unfortunately it's from the charger

50% correct, the problem is that these chargers are not supposed to be connectable in other ways, the cheap ones are however...

40% luck and 60% skill :)

lucky b*stard ;)

just know there is a possibility of this happening

a picture is worth a thousand words, now I see a big difference, my charging pins are hanging out if the plastic, making the contact much more easier, with yours it would be difficult

no boot at all in my case, hopefully yours will be OK

haha I said exactly the same

So my new Z1C is on its way, this time I bought a used one, so if it dies I wouldn't be so angry :D

There is saying in Bulgarian that is: What a person does to himself cannot be done to him by another.

So I could only wish you happiness and no trouble with magnetic chargers :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
im not sure the cheap carger cause this... could be other harware failure or even sw.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] akusokuzan:
It seems the problem is you plugging it in the wrong way. Not the charger....
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] mosespl:
I have cheap magnetic cable and it's awesome you can't plug it in a wrong way hehe you must be lucky guy if you have done this hehe. People learns on mistakes ;) get your phone on warranty and tell that it bricked while performing update via pc companion it should works
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Darkimmortal:
You most definitely can plug the Chinese fakes in the wrong way. Virtually no extra force required, and the phone instantly crashes/reboots.

Thankfully mine didn't suffer any permanent damage
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] bratusm:
Strange... :confused:

I bought that adapter: http://www.dx.com/p/aluminum-alloy-...dapter-for-sony-z1-z1-mini-more-silver-320911

It's working like a charm... No problems at all, charging time is the same... :highfive:
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] mosespl:
Hmm very strange because in my case I can't plug my charger in other way it's simply impossible hehe I have +,- signs too. When I will be at home i will make screenshots with my cable :) but if phone got bricked it can be send on warranty without problem.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] mosespl:
As you can see (or not) ;p in my Chinese charger cable I have two different plug wholes and because of that I can't plug my charger in different way as normal way;) i bought it for 5 euro 6 months ago and for now it charge fast as normal stock charger so for me good deal:)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ctap001:
Same thing happened to my phone, though it came back after a while after hitting the red button.

Timeline:

- slept with phone at ~70%

- woke up to a phone that is turned off

- no LED when charged through the magnetic charger or the USB port

- PC does not recognize phone

- held power button: no response. Held power+down: no response. Pressed red button: no response.

- left phone plugged in to PC while I google around

- phone vibrates and boots but fails to boot completely

- tried to interrupt to recovery which works; perform a full restore

- phone able to reboot completely

Here's the strange part

- plug magnetic charger

- see temperature ramp up quickly from ~33c to 38-39c and fluctuate quickly from 37-39c; same result with other apps

- use original cable+original charger: sticks at 33c

Suffice to say I'm back to USB charging
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] cpgr:
Same thing happened here i got the same cheap magnetic charger - which doesnt always work at all- and i accidentally snapped it the opposite way 2 times the first the screen flash but nothing else happened..the 2nd it shut down and wouldnt turn back on...i froze too and then i googled about hard reset and it came alive again...after that i went to add my christmas tree an extra light..
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ponchofiesta:
I do use a cheap magnetic charger cable for months and have no problems with it!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] st3ch:
update - the phone is dead, original post edited :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ctap001:
Fuark.

Alright in my case windows recognizes that a device (I forgot what windows called it) is present when I plugged it in.

This problem would have been avoided if Sony actually sold genuine cables themselves (they don't sell in my country) instead of just the dock (which you couldn't use with a large number of common cases.)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Darkimmortal:
Congrats, you got one where the metal contacts are correctly recessed far enough. On some, despite the different shaped plastic on each pin, the metal sticks out far enough to still make contact

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skuddy:
On my m7 I was able to talk on the phone and continue to use my internet connection. I don't seem to have that functionality on this device. Every time a receive a phone call it drops LTE. I thought running on two simultaneous networks (CDMA + LTE) I could do both. Anyone experiencing the opposite? Did I mess something up? Or is that just how this particular device is? Any input would be deeply appreciated. Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
well, lte is data only, calls cant go through lte. you need VoLTE to have voice over the lte network. and sprint doesnt offer volte, not yet at least. well, that or you need two radios in your device. the n6 only has one radio.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
^This exactly. However, you can use WiFi, if available, and have the same functionality.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skuddy:
I completely understand what voice over LTE is and the fact that my phone uses CDMA for voice. My question was if my HTC one could use my LTE data and voice at the same time on the same network (even the same tower) why the heck can my n6 not do it? I'm actually disappointed with the lack of this functionality. I thought it was standard when sprint switched to LTE because it is essentially using two networks simultaneously.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A2CKilla:
It sounds like you didn't read the memo when it came to spark enabled devices,let me explain. Since sprint is using spark (or for tech people, 800mhz, 1900mhz and 2.5ghz) the newer phones that are spark enable (our nexus 6 being one of them) in order to take advantage of the HD voice upgrade and higher speed data, everything basically goes through one channel instead of two (basically all the older lte enabled phones). So before you had a dedicated channel for lte and a dedicated channel for voice. Now when a voice call is initiated, it's all going through the one channel for HD voice (trust me, when you hear it, you'll know it) instead of being broken up into two. Referring to what you said, it's not a lack of functionality, just the way the phones work now until, like the other posters said, volte is enabled on sprint, which hopefully will be happening this year.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skuddy:
Excellent. I didn't know that happened on spark. I knew it was triband and the data speed shows it. I was getting true 24mbps download speeds on msdn subscriber downloads. Thank you for the thorough explanation. Aren't we all giant nerds on XDA?

[Note Edge General] ingenious247:
This works 100% - no need for root, but you MUST follow the instructions exactly

Go to apps info

Press disable and it'll ask you to accept reset to factory with unistall any updates. Press OK.

Then kill all apps.

Then back to Youtube apps info.

Click on force stop.

Then click on clear data

Then click on Turn Off

The click on clear data again, wait til it show 0 kbs

Then kill apps

Now go to PlayStore search for youtube

Click on enable

Click on update

Should now work properply with resolutions setting. Search "1440p" video and then select resolution. Profit.

Original credit goes to Like2HelpingOut on Android Central's Note 4 forum.

Just FYI I'm on T-Mobile Note Edge, stock, unrooted.

Didn't use stock rom slot when installing, phone will only go into Download mode

Hi,

I have been using custom roms for several years now, and wanted to update my Note 3 from rooted stock JB 4.3, to KK 4.4.2 (in this thread). What I've done:

1. Safestrap is installed. I wanted to backup the Stock in the Stock rom slot, and restore it to another slot, as a live backup. My backup was 7+gb, so I made the new partition the same, but the data backup was larger than the available data partition I could make ( 4gb ).

2. I restored the stock slot backup to the 2nd slot, but again the data was too big. It didn't boot after displaying the Verizon logo.

3. I decided to install the KK to this slot, and retain my Stock in the Stock slot (my mistake, I believe).

4. Installed KK to 2nd slot, rebooted, and used Odin to flash the KK firmware (with Knox security I think is the major problem, not sure)

5. Reboot phone, it shows the Samsung logo, then nothing.

6. Can only get to Download mode via Volume Down, Home button, and Power

I figure I can unbrick the phone by installing the old firmware for JB 4.3, but I don't know where it is. I can't find it. I don't care about the Knox security/warranty flag at this point, have complete backups for the phone, and am ready to just wipe the phone completely.

I don't want to experiment on my own with no direction, especially since there are smart folks who might have run into this problem before.

My goal: Go to KK 4.4.x with root. Is there a way to get there from where I am? I have ODIN ready to go.

Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syspimp:
Fixed

I flashed this file ALL_N900VVRUBMJE_N900VVZWMJE_2106277_REV03_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 , found on gala xynote3update com slash galaxy-note-3-odin-factory-stock-firmware-usa-canada, search for the string 'MJE', but the download speeds on the links there were too slow, so I googled it. ALL_N900VVRUBMJE_N900VVZWMJE_2106277_REV03_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5.7z

I held the VOLUME DOWN, HOME, and POWER buttons and booted the phone into Download mode.

Then, I used Odin to flash the file, using the PDA field to choose the file (I think it says AP on later versions). It rebooted twice, once to recovery, then stayed at the Verizon Logo longer than I wanted, but it succeeded and then went through the initial setup.

I'm installing safetrap, then starting the KK 4.4.2 guide again. If I have a problem, I'll do this again but restore my safestrap backup. I don't expect any problems.

I hope this helps someone! I have the Retail Note 3, rooted 4.3 Jellybean.

Hello everyone,

since am new to android os and i recently came from iOS, i do have some questions about how android apps work. first of all i noticed the lack of permissions you can choose to give to spesific apps like iOS allows, when i try to install an app from play store, it just shows me what permissions the app is going to use and thats all, they dont allow me to change that? and my biggest complain is that i downloaded viber from play store before one day, and the app modified my contacts list app adding viber out/free viber calls shortcuts.. for me thats unacceptable, i mean its like installing an app on your pc and not being able to deny the toolbar that comes within it to your browser.. how can i change all that and control the freedom of the apps. btw sorry for my bad english, i hope you ppl can understand me

EDIT:eek:r did they announce it and its not released yet?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quasar:
You will receive the official update, and you will be able to update it via OTA as long as you have the stock kernel and recovery. So if you have a custom kernel and/or recovery, reflash the stock ones. Otherwise, you can always download a modified OTA from XDA which will work on a modified system. :)
