I could not figure out how to delete my original post to give a formal update on the service I received from OneClickRoot. I will give a full update when I get done with my errands but I will say that OneClickRoot was finally able to root my device. They also gave a full refund for my troubles since the process was not the smoothest. I will post again later tonight for sure though to give a full update and to give my opinion on whether or not I would give them my referral.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c1aytron:
Issue: I have a galaxy S4 that has a bad LCD. The LCD itself functions. However when the phone is locked and the screen is off, when I click the power button, the screen doesn't come back on. But if I click the power button again to lock it and click the power button again to unlock it, the screen will come back on after the second time.

So what I'm looking for is an app or mod that will allow me to map either the power button or even double clicking menu button to have the action of clicking the power button 3 times. Any advice? Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Unfortunately, you may be delaying the inevitable. The problem clearly isn't the display at all, but the power button. To fix it requires a trip to the service center.

The home button can also be used to light up the screen so you can unlock it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c1aytron:
I refurbish phones for a living. I replace samsung power buttons all day and that is not the issue I'm having. There is nothing wrong with my power button and I don't need a service centre. I'm using a water damaged screen on my personal SGS4 because I didnt want to waste a perfectly good lcd with such a small fault. Clearly, you don't know what you're talking about but I appreciate the reply and hope someone on xda will have some insight.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSA:
You obviously know more than us on xda....why have you made two threads? That's against the rules
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c1aytron:
The reason I dont post on xda is because most threads I see end up like this one. A user giving horrible advice without any knowledge and another user getting butthurt about it. Sure, I'm new and made a mistake in following rule 5. But here you are spamming my thread against rule 7 , whats your excuse?

It would be much appreciated if you dont reply so this thread can stay insightful and avoid going where its going. Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Had you actually read my post, you would note that I said "may" and not "is". One is permissive in that it allows for other possibilities. The other is definitive. I have never claimed to be 100% correct, but I base my answers on what I know. Based on your crappy attitude however, what I know is far less than what you know, so have at it genius. Solve your own problems.

Having knowledge is a wonderful thing, but being humble while having knowledge is far more rewarding.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c1aytron:
I read your post. Maybe you need to reread it "The issue clearly isn't the display at all but the power button." That is definitive and unambiguous. The issue isn't clear to you at all. Nice try though. There is nothing wrong with my attitude but there is something wrong with you giving users answers that aren't based on anything. Again, please don't reply if you have nothing to contribute to the actual topic of the thread.
[General Questions and Answers] rohitbaba:
Hi Guys

I want to buy new tablets but these days I see all the Android tabs come at 16gb which i believe is ok, what my issues is i like playing games that has large amount of data, i.e Modern combat 5 which takes about 1.5gb to start with and then after updates it takes another 1gb. what i need to know is are we able to stick games data on External SD card with lollipop like it was possible back in days.

I am tired of looking for answers for days, is there a way anyone can help me.

All i need to know is, is there a way to have data installed on sd card and game can still work, i need this WITHOUT ROOT.

thanks

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] energyracing:
Ever since the update to Pandora with the refreshed UI, it FCs and locks up my phone any time I run it. If I leave my phone alone, the songs will play like they should, but as soon as I unlock my screen, the first song that played when I opened Pandora is still listed as the current track, and the "Wait or Close" dialog box is up. And then I have to pull my battery, because nothing happens when I hit either Wait or Close.

Is anyone else having this issue or know of a solution? I'm on a Verizon rooted/busyboxed/debloated S5 and Pandora worked perfectly with it until the update. So I'm doubting that it's the phone.

Thanks,

Z
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lykofos:
I'm having the exact same issue with Pandora on my S5. Not too happy about it either since I pay for Pandora One and primarily use Pandora through my phone. I emailed them today about the issue. I'll update this when I get a reply from them.

There's quiet a few 1 star reviews in the Google Play store after the most recent update, complaining about the same issue, so the problem seems pretty widespread.

Pandora 5.7 is malfunctioning on rooted S4

Same issue on my rooted S4 running hyperdrive, except, it continues playback but it black screens when touchresponse freezes! I also have to battery pull and it sucks! Pandora Dev's!!!! Quit trying to be like IHeartRadio!!!!!! you guys were the first! just keep it simple and try not to sacrifice sound quality, speed or selection for appearance...no one cares when they use it on their phone...We set the station, plug in the AUX cable and walk away! that's it! one more thing, I know it's not because we're rooted because there are many people experiencing the same issue who are not rooted and customed rommed!!!! I would suggest that you investigate what it is with samsung phones that are interfering with your new "5.7" build?!?!?!.... sounds like most of us samsung user's are going to switch over to IHeartRadio or Spotify until you fix this trainwreck! Thanks.:eek:
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lykofos:
I got a reply from Pandora support last night, asking for some more info (android version, phone version, carrier, etc) and further description of the issue so that they can forward it to the engineering team.

I responded this morning, so we'll see how long it takes to hear back from them.

Sickbox9, I forgot to mention in my original post that my s5 is rooted (but not running a custom rom). Like your said, I highly doubt that's the issue tho since non rooted users are having the exact same problems.

Then restore your nandroid backup.

Then flash this bootimage

Should work.

You'll still be able to SIM unlock on a custom sense Rom

I SIM unlocked mine while running the latest version of MaximusHD

I think the only time you'll have issues is with an aosp/vanilla Rom eg cyanogenmod etc.

Try it and see, if it doesn't work you may have to flash a stock recovery then you should be fine
[HTC One X] o_____o:
Thanks everyone for the help/suggestions, I eventually managed to revert to stock, big thanks to [MENTION=2528998]Thant[/MENTION] for the help!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diogofd8:
Hey guys how are you doing?

I don't know if this is supposed to be normal but my Nexus is becoming really slow. I've compared it with my father's Samsung Galaxy Gio (yes, that damn piece of brick) running a port of CM10 called Xperia Jelly Bean with an overclock to 1GHz (without messing with the low freqs) and my Nexus running CM11 was slower in terms of opening the SMS app, the contacts, the settings and so on.

I've tried everything, wiping every partition in the phone and installing many roms (CM12, fresh's AOSP Lollipop, CM11, Vanir, LiquidSmooth, CarbonRom, SlimRom, etc) and I even tried different kernels (DirtyV, Fancy and Franco for KK roms and BSmitty's kernel for L) but my perfomance goes from bad to even worse.

Most roms come with many apps I don't use like apollo, stock camera, stock messaging, aosp email app, lancher3 or trebuchet (I like google now but I tested not changing the launcher and it's about the same performance) and the default browser app, so I usually delete them with titanium backup.

I heard some weird sounds when I was with lollipop roms that worried me since I've never heard those sounds (looked like something tiny blowing up) so I am a little worried that those things caused some hardware to start malfunctioning or even stopped working. I am also having now troube with flashing a rom and it being stable. I usually wipe all the partitions, install ROM then Gapps (the most minimal ones) and then Kernel, wipe Cache again, reboot. Set everything (Gmail account and custom rom things like notification bar, locksreen, etc), reinstall the apps I need from google play, change to ART if needed/avaiable and go on. But sometime later the phone starts freezing and ends up turning off and when it turns on it stucks on the boot so I need to reinstall the rom.

What am I doing wrong? What can cause my device to behave like this? Is it a likely end of my device? I am worried and have little knowledge xd. Should I flash a stock rom? Which version is the more appropriate? What do you recommend for custom ROM, am I flashing them and applying everything alright?

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I did some benchmark tests and it does well as espected. Goes up to 20K with Lollipop, 15K with KitKat (1.5GHz) and 13-14K with KitKat (1.2GHz). I've tested it in FML 5.0.2 (last build) + Bsmitty kernel (about 2 weeks ago) and the KK ones I did yesterday with CM11 and fancy r60. The problem here is the menus that are freezing constantly and the basic apps that take too much time to load when compared to the time I bought it (I'm talking about Settings, Camera, Messaging, Dialer, Contacts, etc)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saothoi:
I feel the same way about my phone too! Btw, is installing new app on your phone slow? My phone takes about 15-20 secs to install an app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AvidPhisherman:
I am by no means an expert, but the "weird sounds / stability of ROM flashing / constant freezing" that you're reporting, regardless of the ROMs that you're using, it sounds like your device may be on its last legs. How long have you had the device? Is it possible that some of your hardware components are failing?

In my own Gnex experience, I was using CM11 Snapshot ROMs for about a year. About 6 months after installing CM11, I started noticing massive slowdown and lagging. Similar to what you reported: slow launching of apps (even simple ones like the default SMS Messaging and Camera), freezing/crashing in Gmail and Chrome, very slow multitasking/tab/app switching, etc.

Google officially stopped supporting the Gnex at 4.3 so I would recommend that you try returning to the 4.3 Stock Nexus Image, and see if that improves your stability. I did that for my Gnex and installed the Xposed framework on top, and I've been happy with the results. I no longer use my Gnex as my daily phone so I can't speak to longer-term usage, but you may want to try this first before writing the device off entirely.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diogofd8:
Well, after some time I finnaly put my phone working nicely again :)

I flashed and tried over and over again many combinations of rom, gapps and kernel until my phone worked nicely with something. I am with CM11 + PA Stock Gapps (with gapps-config.txt written of my own to avoid installing things I consider bloat) + Fancy Kernel (everything in their respective last versions).

Well, just an advice from me to anyone who starts having problems like me. If you are flashing much and testing many roms per day and your phone starts getting slow and not booting like it should boot (and having weird sounds) just stop for a while. Find a stable rom+kernel combination and let the phone work like that for some time. Then when you think you are ok, start flashing to your content again :)

Is there any ROM besides stock in which the Camera and Camcorder functions just simply work? I've gone through LS, CM, Carbon. none of them had a stable camera. I HAVE to have cam and video for work. this is getting a little tiring. any suggestions at all
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Both of the ROMs in my signature are TouchWiz. and they work great. If you HAVE to have AOSP the only choice is to use a third party camera from the Play Store... I was just using Open Camera (it doesn't have a camcorder) on the latest Liquid Smooth with no problems (I also had to replace the Email client as well because it kept crashing... I used AquaMail). I just switched back to my ROM because even with tweaking the battery life is atrocious on AOSP and my phone overheats frequently.

My ROMs: Wicked X & Wicked S5 Xperience
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mattzeller:
I've had zero issue with camera or camcorder on KitKat AOSP ROMs, now Lollipop is a different story. Try KitKat Beanstalk
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Captain Quack:
I've been using Open Camera. the camera part worked fine but the video kept crashing on Liquidsmooth and Carbon. I'm not married to AOSP ROMS. I don't want fancy I just want fast and simple and as long a battery life as I can manage. not using it for music or anything like that. almost all pic and video.

does the launcher make any difference? I have been using APEX and am quite happy with it.

thanks for the answers guys. I'll check out kitakt beanstalk.

your ROM has nothing to do with Recovery more right? I can't change it and it's crashed on recovery boot.

i think TW based roms are a bit helpful since they seem like they run off of the stock based rom of the S3, I use Wicked X8.2 since WIcked S5 Experience is mostly for looks while the 8.2 is just as good for everything it works and well but its just a bit of a battery drain hope that helps :)
