Hi,

I was wondering what effect would limiting background processes have on Lollipop (ART). Dalvik being an In-Time complier caused multitasking problems if the background apps were restricted but things being different with ART, would this help with battery and speed? And what could be the downsides?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Namyquis:
big edit i was actually on android 4.2.2 kitkat i used ez unlock and got hard brick. What method is best for unbricking if possible. verizon galaxy s3 schI535. Completely unresponsive no odin mode nothing. Rooted flashed cwm recovery like an idiot because bootloader was not unlocked yet. Then tryed the ez unlock and got brick. Was this because flashing cwm before unlocking? it says it works on 4.2.2 devices. 4.3 and later would brick. but as i said I was on 4.2.2 and directly after ez unlock i powered off and then phone turned brick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drummerjoe92@gmail.com:
Dude you're probably on 4.4.2. Locked bootloader that you can't unlock...yet.

Try to get it into download mode (vol down home pwr) connect to odin. Find stock 4.4.2 firmware and try flashing that to phone if you can get it into download mode. What I did when I semi bricked my s3 4.4.2 verizon. Can root but no custom recovery so no custom roms unless you do safestrap. But safestrap isn't too....safe. haha

On my XT1032 german, I have CWM 6.0.4.7 recovery, touch version. I have installed CrDroid 5.0.2. As you probably know, CWM has some issue because of which PA gapps can't be installed. So I found another version of gaaps and it installed fine from CWM.

But this made me think... Are nandroid backups of this lolipop rom, I make now in CWM, really ok and really restore-able? I hear everywhere that CWM is abandoned and that I should install TWRP instead. Besides the fact that I'm still not fond of doing it yet (cause I still have some KK backups), how can i install TWRP over CWM, is there some zip I can install, or it has to be with fastboot from PC?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] japickard:
I acquired a Samsung Galaxy S3 (ATT) SGH-I747 that is seemingly soft/hard bricked. Here is the background as I know it. The individual from whom I obtained this device had previously installed a custom recovery, rooted and ran Cyanogen XX.x.

The device when booted flashes the Samsung logo (briefly) then Galaxy S3 appears in the middle with a Angry looking cyanogen dude at the bottom. The phone boots into download mode and since i have little to no knowledge of this, here is what i I have tried.

Kies 2.6 recovery = Fail

Odin 3.07 and 3.09 trying to flash different recoverys and or ROMs = Fail

I need some help getting the steps in the right order. Odin appears to freeze when verifying tar.md5's.

My objective is to return this device to STOCK, then learn how to mod.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kviki:
Keep in mind that I'm not an expert on the custom side of android. I've only so far managed to flash cyanogen and root my device

Here are my questions:

Is every samsung phone's bootloader unlockable? I was locked into the stock rom on my xperia because - "Bootloader unlock allowed: no".

Is there any sort of mechanism preventing me from unlocking the bootloader on the s4 mini, like on my xperia M?

Will "knox/eFuse" (what's the difference?) brick my phone if i try to flash something?

I've already went into download mode and knox wasn't tripped, says 0x0.

[Q] Grola to SaberSunset on D802, no recovery stuck on LG logo,got audio&vibration

Hi, I just tried switching from Grola to SaberSunset (both lollipop based) using TWRP 2.8.3.1. Installation was unsuccesful, so I decided to upgrade to TWRP 2.8.5.1. After rebooting, no OS loaded (as I expected, as I wiped data,dalvik,cache and system), but when i tried to do the pwr+vol- combo the "factory reset" screen doesn't appear. It's stuck on the LG logo. If I leave it on that screen for about 5 minutes the screen starts behaving badly causing heavy distortion, but there's no permanent screen damage. Phone doesn't overheat. Maybe a bit hot, but it's been hotter under heavy usage. The weird part is that if I plug it via USB the LED light up yellow, and if I push the volume buttons I can hear the default volume step beep, and it even vibrates when lowering the volume below the last step, as it was entering vibration mode. "adb devices" shows the device, but it's unauthorised, so I can do nothing. Seems kinda like there's an OS underneath the LG logo screen, but have no idea what it could be, as I formatted /system. Any ideas on how to recover?

EDIT: Resolved. Used KDZ.

I occasional get the error about the SIM card being removed and need to reboot. Sometimes a reboot takes care of it and other times I have to take the SIM out and clean it. Then it works for a couple weeks.

Anyone have experience with getting another SIM from sprint? Do they charge for it? Do you need to get one from a retail store or can you activate one you buy online?

I have a custom ROM so is that going to lead to problems?(which is why I wanted to avoid going to a location) Will they care about the ROM in store? If buy a replacement SIM does it need OTA activation so I need a S4 sprint ROM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] PhatP:
I have the same issue with mine. It started off occasionally happening then finally quit altogether. I'm rooted on stock rom, they didn't seem to notice but told me I'd have to deal with Samsung about it since it's still covered under manufacturer warranty. While at the store they did insert a new sim card to test if mine was bad or not, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. Here they would charge $10 for a new sim. Now I've been reading mixed reviews on whether Samsung will repair a manufacturer defect on a rooted device. I suppose it depends on the tech you get repairing it.

edit:

as far as the activation of the sim card I don't believe that's the case. I removed my sim card and put it in my girlfriends same model s4 and the lte functioned fine. ie. my sim is fine but the card slot itself is defective

Dear XDA community,

I wanted to use my shiny new LG G3 D855 16 GB to connect it to my Full HD TV via a slimport adapter. Sadly, after testing 3 different adapters the result is still mediocre.

I tried an analogix SP1001 that didnt even give any output to the TV. A Slimport SP1004 (pretty new) finally gave me picture with a short flickering here and there. The TV further told me that it was full 1080p but at a refresh rate if only 24 Hz!

I then tried the LG hidden menu with 3845#*855# in the dialer going to slimport test and entering 720p@60Hz. This worked as I had ni fkicker or stutter at full 60 Hz but no full HD! This was on LG Lolllipop (Cloudyfas CloudyG3 2.1). On CM12 (Blispop2.0) I tried the secondscreen app ( from XDA). Here I can set the resolution and dpi but it didbt seem to have any effect on the TV output. However eventually I got it to work one time on CM12 but not ob stock!

Has someone else had these issues? Is there a common solution to this? Can I use an app to set refresh rate?

Hope somebody has an idea :):D:rolleyes:

Thanks!

Or there was an app triggering the warning. The all-in-one is an update, it doesn't touch the data partition. Flashing the individual files wipe it. Some app could have gotten corrupted, triggering the warning. Reinstaalling the app fixed it. It's faster than starting in safe mode and running one app at at a time for a few hours each.

Darn! I used Method One and paid $500. Using Method Six would have required me to cut down my S3 MicroSIM to a NanoSIM. I thought I might have to that anyway so I bought a SIM cutter. Method Six would have saved me $500 but if caught I imagine I would definitely have lost my unlimited data.

Just used option 5 a couple months ago. Caveat: if you purchase a smart phone with the extra line, you have to keep a smartphone data plan on that line for 2 years or pay ETF. If you aren't going to be using that extra line, it's cheaper to just buy a new phone for full retail.

Has anyone tried (lately) getting a device via BestBuy dot com, and doing the "keep current plan" option, to upgrade a device without losing Unlimited Data? I'm trying to help a friend update his device (to a Galaxy S5, currently available for $1), and I'm not seeing any place to keep current plan. I suspect they (at Verizon's behest) fixed the loophole, but I'm looking for confirmation. :confused:

You might see what happens for a few different devices. I bought my m8 that way and a few months later I bought my wife's 2013 Moto X and saw that the galaxy s4 mini (I think) didn't give the keep-your-existing-plan option while the Moto X and m8 still did.

I just got one from best buy and one from Amazon. I swapped the sim cards between the devices, activated online and still have unlimited on both lines so far.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Div033:
I have no idea how they're still allowing this to happen, yet are closing other loopholes like having extra lines for dummy phones. It seems like it shouldn't even be a thing. Can't Verizon just get the info from best buy when someone buys a phone at subsidized rate and then make the change on their end? Likewise, when a phone gets returned Verizon would restore the previous plan.

It must not be that simple, because if so it would have been long resolved by now. I'm definitely not complaining as I still have unlimited and hope this loophole is still around next year but I guess I'm worried it won't be. It seems too obvious for them to fix.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] tst1212:
Ditto to Swappa, 2nd phone from there now and both good so far. New phone requires a NanoSim, old phone has MicroSim. The new phone came rooted with custom rom, and I didn't want to take it in to show the Verizon tech, so I got on Verizon Live Chat, they are mailing me a NanoSim. Also ordered a Nano to MicroSim adapter off Amazon so I can switch between phones if I want.

And yes I know I could have cut my MicroSim down, but figured I'd be safe and wait 2 days for a new sim.
