[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TempeDuck:
Thanks for the reply. I can't believe I forgot to say, I have preformed a factory reset, twice. I have also rooted the tab, my factory resets have been with TWRP.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeeterpro:
I'd go with Odin flashing a stock ROM which by all accounts should make it factory fresh. Re-root afterwards.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TempeDuck:
I went ahead and encrypted the SD Card and then had the option to decrypt the card. At that point I decrypted it and then all lock screen option were available.

Weird, but I have full control again.

Thanks for the help, it got me in the right place
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kongmyy:
Hi, I'm currently running N9005XXUGBOB6 stock Lollipop, I just receivd the ota few days ago. The phone was flashed stock lollipop by Odin months ago. Now when I try to flash custom recovery, Odin shows everything is fine but when I try to boot to recovery it boots stock recovery, I tried both TWRP 2.8.5.0 and PhilZ Touch 6.48.4 but none of them work :confused:. Anyone here could help with this issue? Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rosli59564:
Untick auto reboot. Manually turn off phone after recovery flash. Then use 3 buttons to get into recovery.

If the phone prompts to install stock recovery when you're exiting the custom recovery, choose no(can't remember whether this menu still available in note 3, maybe other phone)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cryostasis25:
Another way is download cistom flashable twrp then as rosli mentioned to uncheck auto reboot when flashing twrp then once done disconnect and boot to recovery then in recovery flash the flashable twrp

i root my gs4 with odin, everything went fine but I wanted to get my gs faster so i downloaded kernel for gs4 and flashed it. mistake here. i didnt check if it supports 4.4.4. it only support devices under 4.3 so.. no wifi. that was the problem i had other than that, all was good. than I downloaded some OTA file for my gs4 and when i tried to flash it with safestrap, it kept said fail. so i thought it's maybe because i already have OS installed... so i wiped system,data and i tried to flash that OTA file, fail again. now im screwd. there is no OS on my gs4. when i trun it on, it vibrates, than reboots and than goes into Odinmode and say something like "nornal boot not possible" in red.

so i spent couple days searching how to get my phone work again but everything i tried didnt work. and for galaxy s4 sgh i337 nj4 version 4.4.4 it even made me think it was made just for me.

i tried kies, failed it told me to do emergency recovery but my phone does not show on list.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
You'll have to use the ODIN file from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2674223

Flash that in ODIN, use the rootable version if you want to root it using towelroot.

Besides that, you can't flash any custom kernels on the S4 unless you're on the 4.2.2 MDL bootloader, and there's no way to get back to that from 4.4.

[P3600 General] pyuri:
I'm looking for a program that log the gps position with time info and save everything to a file.

the ideal would be choose the sampling rate (like every 10 seconds or so), that can swap GPS signal with TomTom and.. Freeware.

I've tried some but they don't save info about time, just the track.

I need time becouse then I can merge this log file with exif in the pictures taken with my camera and automatically position the pics on panoramio or flickr.

More or less the same with the included trinity camera, the difference is that I use a Nikon D200 ;)

There is an accessory from sony (GPS-CS1) that does it but... hey, I've spent 550 euros for trinity! It's something that even my commodore64 could do!
[P3600 General] alexk:
I think you can not do it with TomTom since it doesn't keep a log.

but you can use BeeLineGPS (http://www.visualgps.net/BeeLineGPS/) and export the trak in GPX.

than you just need a program to combine the data into your pictures, I use Downloader Pro 2 (http://www.breezesys.com/Downloader/index.htm)

but there are others, even the new canon software does it!

I hope this helps
[P3600 General] dodgetigger:
NoniGPSPlot is free software and can export the logged track as a GPX file that has the times in it.

I currently use this software on my Trinity, and it works good.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] TheAmazingDave:
I have in my possession my friend's Nexus 7. I'm trying to diagnose what is wrong with it.

It's a N7 2013 WiFi with Lollipop, probably 5.0.2. I don't know the capacity.

Last night, it crashed and rebooted, and then it stuck on the boot-up splash animation. It stuck on it all night, and eventually depleted the battery.

I plugged it in, and the nitification light flashed a few times, and I got the battery charging icon. I let it sit for a while, then attempted to boot it up. Same thing as last night; stuck on boot splash for ~30 minutes.

I unplugged it, then held power button until it shut off. There hasn't been a visible sign of life since.

I connected it back up to the charger with a USB in-line power meter. The tablet charged all day at 460 milliamps, and then finally stopped charging about 20 minutes ago. Still no signs of life.

I've tried all the usual tricks and button combos. Nada.

When I tried plugging it in to my PC, it chirped and recognized the device, but still nothing on the tablet itself. I got further curious and checked Windows Device Manager. I found the tablet under Ports as a Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.

So at least the CPU is doing something... It won't start the bootloader though, I'm guessing the flash is toast or went corrupt.

Is this a recoverable state?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] TheAmazingDave:
I found and installed Qualcomm QPST tool. It detects the tablet and says it's in downloader mode.

Now I need to find the hex files for the tablet, and I think I can bring it back. Any one have a lead?

Are the bootloaders between LTE and WiFi the same? If so, I'll try pulling the boot files from my LTE with QPST.

SO after rooting my OnePlus i had to flash install my google apps, unfortunatly the default messenger app that comes stock with the one plus is also gone, this is very important for me because its the only messenger app(from my knowledge) that can be customized with my purchased themes i have. Changing messaging themes does not work on 3rd party messenger applications so i cant download any from play store either! ANY HELP?

THANKS!

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuddu:
"System" folder is quite "small". But you don' t need to copy the theme there. It's enough you copy 'em inside a folder into the SD card and call the folder HWthemes. Then the HM7 looks for it and find the added themes.

At least I do in this way and on my HM7 works fine.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] homer285:
Great post thanks for sharing, I used a heat gun to loosen the glue and it came apart with no force or heavy pry tools. A hair dryer would work too and possibly a safer alternative to a screw driver or heat gun, but thats only my opinion.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] GTCC:
When I had my Nokia 925 I removed the qi coil from the charging cover and imbedded it in the back cover so that it didn't need the case to charge. Worked great for over 6 months while I had the phone and is still working with my friends son who is using it now.

Thanks for the detailed write up.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ksoze:
Unfortunately, the hair dryer trick did not work in my case. They used a LOT of glue and it cured pretty well - I ended up ripping up parts of the second plastic layer in 3 of the heaviest concentration of glue were. The poor cover looks wrecked..

Fortunately - I was able to extract the charging coils without any issues.

Does anyone have any issues with NFC? I am using a UAG TPU case and with the case on, NFC does not work. I'm wondering if it is the distance or if I damaged the NFC portion of the charger.... :confused:

EDIT: NVM - I took out apart again and reseated everything - NFC is working again. I tried to cut one of the NFC pins - and accidentally snapped one of the pins off.. :( Everything still appears to work though, so not sure what it was for...

Thanks BhuddaFool for the pictures. (Already clicked on the Thanks button - hint, hint)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] buddhafool:
I don't use NFC sorry. Is there a quick test I can do to replicate?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ksoze:
A fun way to test NFC would be to find a Credit card that has contact-less payment - Mastercard PayPass for example. Your phone needs to be active and unlocked, once you scan it, you should hear a beep. A fun app to pair with this is, AnyTag NFC Launcher- it will take the ID of the NFC tag and use that as a trigger to perform actions.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anytag.android&hl=en

Otherwise you would need another phone, or actual NFC tags - I eventually ended up buying a few NFC tags and have them at my desk, in my car etc.

I've edited my post - NFC is indeed working - looks like the pins were not in contact correctly before.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] cbutters:
Thanks for the guide.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] alfredtv:
I did this mod last weekend. NFC works fine without a case, I have some of the Samsung Techtiles and was able to test and program one.

Question though, I have 2 Q1 chargers; 1-Nokia (at home) and 1-Samsung mini (at work). The Nokia one gives me absolutely no issues at all with charging, but the Samsung one is now really (extremely) particular about placement. It wasn't like that prior to the mod, but now its more likely to flash the amber light than charge. I noticed the non-qi back plate has a very thin copper lining in one part that is covered by a very thin sticker film. Should that be removed? Any one else do this and experience similar issues with the Samsung mini charger?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] buddhafool:
I am glad it is working for you. FYI: I dug up an NFC chip and tried that app. Nice find and it works great through my Ballistic Urbanite case . I can't wait to setup my Airdock 2 with it. (It just arrived)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] buddhafool:
Sorry I have a TYLT Vu (work), a Keedox Qi Wireless 3-Coil (home) and a Airdock (car). It works fine portrait and landscape with all of those. It is possible that is more finicky too.

Interesting, I see that sticker you are referring to, I'll take your word that it has copper under there. Browsing Amazon it looks like even the cheap knock off battery doors have that strip too. Maybe it is a NFC antenna?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] homer285:
Nice thanks for the vid, I still think you could have put much more heat in to it, would have made the job easier and safer than heavy prying.

I've done it with a hair dryer also but need to heat it for at least 5 minutes moving the dryer frequently not to isolate one area too long, but anyway great job and good clear vid dude.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] buddhafool:
OK I am using my phone without the back (it is snug in my case) and it seems to be much less finicky. The stock battery door seems to be interfering.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] willstay:
I got my original charging back today. This mod is something I want to try but all this thickness I guess is for a purpose to isolate heat from the battery.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] cnlson:
not meaning any disrespect for the thread but why wouldn't you just pick up a wireless charging element by itself so you didn't have to worry about breaking it disassembling it?

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] buddhafool:
Thanks for the informative links I appreciate your feedback.

This is addressed in the OP. Some of us have had bad luck with the third party receivers, my phone got scary hot when I used one. This is thread is for those people. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] buddhafool:
That could be. Fortunately it is running really cool with this setup. I promise to check in later if I have any issues that develop.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ksoze:
Also - the majority of the receivers will block NFC for the Note 4 - since Samsung has placed the antenna for NFC onto the battery itself. The official Samsung cover includes a separate NFC antenna.

Another reason for going for the official cover is that it is generally very forgiving in terms of placement - due to the size of the coil. Some of the smaller aftermarket ones require that you place the phone off center or has to be placed just right for charging.

I too have also noticed concerning levels of heat generated with the - admittedly, cheap budget receiver that I purchased online. The second one that you linked from Amazon looks promising though.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] cnlson:
I bought the cheapest one for the Galaxy s3 and my wife has used it for charging her S3 for the past year+ and she uses NFC at work all the time (the coke machine uses softcard and they were giving away 50 free $1 purchases a month from feb til december last year) and even though the Qi receiver sits right on top of the battery there was no problem whatsoever with either the charging or the NFC.

My apologies, I missed that line. I know with the one I got for my wife's S3, it gets warmer when it is not placed on the charging pad correctly since it doesn't get enough of a charge to keep up with the outgo.

out of curiosity, does the phone charge very quickly on the Qi charger? could I ask you to charge for an hour on the Qi and an hour plugged in to show the speed? (gsam battery monitor or the graph from the system battery monitor)

I'm curious how fast it actually charges, I assume it doesn't do the quick charge like plugging into the stock charger.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] buddhafool:
It seems to charge pretty quickly. I think charges about as fast as being plugged into a "normal" adapter but certainly not the blazing speed of the quick charger. I don't think I am going to be able to post any battery graphs.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] cnlson:
thanks for the reply! I'll be looking into the cover since I have the 50% off coupon.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] d.cortez:
thanks for for posting the video. i didn't have to use any heat to remove the plastic from the cover (used a small screw driver). i used an old drivers license card to pry the coil from the plastic backing. i also filed down the connectors to reduce what little hump there was. wireless charging is working just fine with my Nilkin Ultrathin TPU case and TYLT wireless charger. i was using a N4 SlimPWRcard coil before and while it worked with my TYLT, i had to place the N4 off-center for it to charge.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] alfredtv:
Do'oh why didn't I think of this!!

This was a great suggestion. I took the stock back cover off and the charging seems to have improved on the Samsung mini charger! Thanks for sharing. It didn't even cross my mind, but this should also work with all the cases since the thickness of the coil should be equivalent to the oem cover by its self!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] GKreamer:
Thanks!

Thanks so much for this thread and the instructions!! I have the Samsung Note 4 case bought from Amazon (called the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Case, Protective Cover - Gray) and the Charging back from Samsung (50% coupon). I hacked the charging back (per the instructions) and after trying it with the stock back put the phone into the case but the charging did not work as easily. So, I removed the stock back and am now just using the phone in the case. Charges great!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] buddhafool:
You are welcome. I am happy it helped and I appreciate the thanks!

Just curious, is this a public coupon or a special offer you received??
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] GKreamer:
It is a coupon that Samsung sent me when I got the Note 4 from Best Buy. It was good for 1 accessory $49.99 or less at 50% off.

---------- Post added at 04:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM ----------

One think I did differently on the hack- I was careful not to bend the metal heat shield. I then removed it by taking a small x-acto knife and cutting off the plastic heads from the rivets. I then bent the back around all four sides of the metal plate and removed it from the old back. After peeling the adhesive from around the edges I put it under the circuit board and then put the Note 4 back into the case I have.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] buddhafool:
I'll add that to the guide, thanks!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] dieselbuddeh:
The only problem i am having is the coil keeps moving under the stock back cover. I have since opened the case and fixed it twice. Any suggestions.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] buddhafool:
Double sided tape?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] stothy862:
Really struggling to get this working with a UAG case. Any suggestions? Works with the stock cover but without, nothing.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] buddhafool:
Let me make sure I understand you. You have finished removing the coil but it only works when the battery cover is on but not naked in the case?

If so it sounds like there is a bit too much room, the contacts are not being pressed into place. You would need to 1) make a shim to keep it pressed down and maybe 2) some double sided tape in the center of the receiver coil to keep it centered and not sliding around.

You can make the shim by just laying down layers of tape on top of the contacts* until it is thick enough, Alternatively you could use the double sided tape to fit something (a piece of plastic?) there that will give you thickness. Hmm guitar picks come in different thicknesses to play around with and are dirt cheap. Try that and let me know.

(* - Contacts are the the metal bits sticking out of the narrow top part. I am sure you know that but that is for other who come along and read this thread cold.)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] stothy862:
Sorry, wasn't clear at all, it only works with just the original cover, it's intermittent with case and naked back, almost as if it's too thick, but I know others have had success with this case so it's unlikely. Thanks for the advice though!
