[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ViperFUD:
Hi Guys.

I'm at the end of my rope here ...

A few months back I updated my phone and my wife's phones to NC5, towelroot, TB freeze knox, etc. Both have been working great, until: last night my wife's phone crashed while playing music. Now it's stuck in some sort of strange "dies during startup" mode ...

When the phone is powered on, all the apps start crashing ("unfortunately, weather.com has crashed", "unfortunately, Google play services has stopped responding"). The phone freezes, and then reboots. It hangs at the Verizon loading screen, and I get lines of digital pixilated noise across the bottom. Hold power and the phone turns off; when you restart it, it loads up, and crashes as the OS loads (you get about 15 seconds where the phone is usable before it dies).

Notes: Xposed is not loaded on her phone. She's running NC5, stock. SD card has been removed.

Things I've tried:

Odin-flashing NC5 (no wipe) ... no change

Odin-flashing NC5 (full wipe) ... no change

Recovery - delete all user data and cache ... no change

Swapping her battery for mine ... no change

Power off, full charge overnight ... no change

Removed battery for 5 minutes before trying again ... no change.

Its now back fully at stock with no user data. It boots up into "Welcome to your new phone", but before you can even select "English" as the language, you get: "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped." The phone hanges, then reboots and gets stuck at the Verizon splash. (Note: sometimes, it just hangs and doesn't reboot.)

Anyone ever seen this? Is it a HW problem, or is there something I can do?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I´m a little bit confusing... The manual says that watch is water proof and the same manual says that you can´t take a shower using the watch!

I doesn´t make sense for me!

I have been taking shower using the watch, without problem!

I can carry on or should I stop do it now? and why?

Thanks
[LG G Watch] frigidazzi:
Where does it say not to use it in the shower? They have an old commercial with this watch and the girl showering with it on.
[LG G Watch] mtmello:
Thank you for you information!

I think then it is a mistake from manual translation... as could be seen in http://img.submarino.com.br/manuais/120152594.pdf (portuguese language only, sorry!), on page 19 talk about do not use in shower...

I will continue to use in my showers!
[LG G Watch] prototovsky:
I´ts not safe to use it with hot water or chemicals like shampoo, but I have a shower with it everyday and works perfectly.
[LG G Watch] comk4ver:
You can only submerge it up to a meter for up to 30 minutes. So it's not really water proof more like water resistant for those crazy last minute skinny dipping days.

You might want to log in to your Google account online (via PC) and check your settings. It may still be integrated on your phone. There should be some options there to remove it.

Its google voice causing the problem. I had the same annoying issue and you have to deactivate google voice from your sprint number. Use this method:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] HDxDaniel:
EDIT: you can post your benchmark results so we can see the impact of turning on this option. Also post the apps you think work better with Force gpu rendering enabled.

-----

I made two benchmarks, one with the option enabled and the other with the option disabled.

As you guys can see, if you enable Force Gpu Rendering your 3D games (like Dead trigger 2) will run worse, therefore I suggest keeping disabled this option if you are going to play 3d games with good graphics and stuff. Also some people say that enabling this options makes your phone to consume more battery.

In the other hand 2d apps can benefit from this option because it can remove lag. For example the app 'Phone Genie' has a terrible lag by default, but it completely disappears when you Force Gpu rendering.

If you know more apps that work better with that option enabled please leave a comment.

(sorry for my english...)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
its enabled for me and im getting better 3d scores than your device. i didnt try in games though just tried rr3 everything was fine. i never used my any device without this option enabled.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] HDxDaniel:
How much score do you get in 3d graphics?

Do you have a SM-N910C or SM-N910F?

Are you using Lollipop or Kit kat?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
910c lolipop 15600 or something.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] flash608:
Sorry, but i have to say that your topic is useless. I don`t know if you know that Antutu and any other synthetic benchmarks gives you different scores in every run. The difference can be even around 15% in tests so your 51 and

50236 - 51942 that`s no difference.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] HDxDaniel:
Sure, but the main difference is on the '3d graphics' thing. Before enable 'Force GPU Rendering' 3d graphics score was over 14000 but when I enabled it the 3d graphics score is 2000 points less, 12000.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] realista87:
i am also trying to understand if enabling this option....would RECUDE or NOT... battery life.

A) someone says it reduces battery because gpu is more powerful and consume more.... but you notice 0 lags in interface

B) someone else says it would SAVE battery because gpu is more powerful and EFFICIENT to calculate...... and + cpu freq can be lower because has "lower workload" to do.

what's the truth?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] fakhreza:
I think enabling GPU rendering will took effect only in 2D environment, like you said. As for 3D, it is have to be rendered by GPU by any means since it needs a lot more processing power. So in 3D, whether the option enabled or not, GPU will be used for rendering anyway. The difference of benchmark score of 1000 or so means no difference. Try to do it 6 times in the same option (enabled or disabled), they will vary.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Toss3:
Doesn't really matter - everything is GPU-accelerated in Lollipop already (it's only for old apps like Quadrant where you notice a difference in the 2D test). It only forces GPU acceleration for those apps that don't support it (which can cause glitches and lag, or smoother performance depending on the app), and there aren't many of those available anymore.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Falco78:
I know it is an old thread but my Antutu scores went from 3D Score 18845 Overall Score 66431 to 3D Score 19003 Overall Score 70304
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Vardogor:
As Falco78 said, old thread, but Google Play Music runs much better with this enabled.

You can extract them from your ftf and copy them to system/fonts folder, or search XDA for fonts that you deleted. If you don't secede I'll attach you fonts from my D2303 when I get home, they shouldn't be different. ;)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drew_t:
Hi all,

Been using these forums for awhile to get help rooting devices, but I've finally got a problem I can't get resolved after searching for days. My T-Mobile S4 (testing with CM12) randomly froze last Friday, and upon rebooting it wouldn't stay in the OS for more than a few seconds before freezing and rebooting again. I went into recovery and cleared cache/dalvik but it didn't make a difference. It got to the point where it would freeze before letting me even unlock the screen. I chalked it up to running CM12 before it was stable so I wiped the phone and tried CM11. The flash succeeded fine, but the phone froze right after going through the initial setup wizard. Since then, I've tried:

Flashing various recoveries (CWM, TWRP)

Various ROMs (CM10, CM11, Paranoid Android, Samsung Stock)

Sideloading ROMs without an SD card inserted in case mine had issues

It seemed to be the most stable when I booted up a new ROM without a SIM card or SD card inserted, and left WiFi off. It still froze, but not as fast. I've since bought a used HTC One m7 to get by with but would really like to get the S4 straightened out so I can sell it. I managed to install logcat and get it running before a freeze but after inspecting the logs I couldn't find any trace of kernel panics or other errors.

Should I assume the phone has a hardware error? I'm open to any suggestions anyone might have. Thanks guys.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Well, since it happesn on various roms then it is most probably a hardware problem.

Or it has a fault in a partition that is unaffected by rom flashing.

That's what I was afraid of. Couldn't find any kind of bootable hardware diags for the phone either :(

You confirmed "this" method worked, but what is "this" method?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] toastido:
I got a bit overexcited last night and blew my entire phone away to try out the lollipop, so.....

I'm in the process of restoring a nandroid of NK3 (since I realized I had way too much stuff to lose) and will try it when Its done restoring. I *THINK* you may have to use MOP and inject root into the full image to keep root if you're worried about Knox 0x0, but IDK; I've tripped Knox long ago :p.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CravingMender9:
Yes, I did that. Used MOP to inject itself and supersu. After starting for the first time, it asked to update supersu and the su binary.

When I did that, it tried updating the binary for some time and finally gave up. In short, I lost root even when I used that option in MOP.

I do care about knox status due to enterprise reasons. So I'll try to downgrade, re-root and upgrade again (to see I didn't do anything wrong.)

---------- Post added at 10:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------

Sorry if I wasn't clear. The method I refer to is what I used to update all previous versions and keep knox 0x0.

It has been discussed after every update and effortless comes up with a tutorial as well. Unfortunately, with 5.0, this doesn't work properly (no root).

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] strictlyphat:
I was not able to get twrp to stick. Odin said it was done but never actually booted to twrp just the stock recovery came up. To root this is what I did:

1) be on lollipop update via Ota

2) flash cf auto root via Odin

3) reflash ob6 recovery that [MENTION=5502546]toastido[/MENTION] so graciously provided.(for some reason cf auto root reflashes nk3 recovery and my phone would not boot hence why I had to flash ob6 recovery)
