[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super Chimp:
I've been using AMOLED Cinema so far, but I was wondering what display mode people preferred?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wund3rground:
I prefer basic, I find the others to be too saturated and cartoonish.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super Chimp:
When I tried basic it seemed rather dull to my eyes. Normally I don't like the garish colours you often get with AMOLED screens but obviously they have improved a lot in recent years & seem less prone to this. I have been seeing if the different screen modes made much difference to sunlight legibility but they don't seem too.

Hello guyz, here i posts the individual files link(direct) found inside the FTF firmware package for D2212 , Android version: 4.4.4, Built no.: 18.5.B.0.26 .This links are bring from XperiFirm. I post this thread becoz some user unable to download the whole FTF package due to slow internet connection or not resumable. So these are direct links and downloadable via IDM (recommanded).

The files are not in “ftf” format so we need

Xperia Flashtool to bundle it into a firmware ftf file .

STEP

>>Download the files (All 1 by 1)

>>Then Download Xperia Flashtool from here. Install it. & the driver also.

>> Download HJsplit.

http://www.hjsplit.org/windows/

>> Then rename the . bin files as follows

FILE_281285053

FILE_282093981

FILE_282093839

FILE_282093987.001

FILE_282093987.002

FILE_282093987.003

FILE_282093987.004

FILE_282093987.005

>> Open HJsplit, then click on JOIN, & navigate to the folder containing above files.

>> There is only showing one file FILE_282093987.001, then choose that and click on Join.

>> In the output, there is file named FILE_282093987, and the volume is about 900mb.

>> On opening it, it may ask you to move Firmware FTF to C:\Users\PC NAME\.flashTool\firmware (Do move the ftf stored if asked to do so).

Wait then till it syncs the devices list.

>> Then Open FlashTool, click on Tools> Bundle > File Decrypt

Then choose the file FILE_282093987

And Decrypt.

After the Decription process complete, a pop up window will automatically open or

you do manually by below process

>> In Flashtool window, click Tools > BUNDLES > Create

>> Select source folder ( This is the folder where the

Decrypted files are stored afterDecryption ) & in Flashtool window

you will see all files listed of that chosen folder.

>>Now we will name our firmware. Double tap the

area where “ DEVICE” is written. It will ask you to choose

your device variant.

Then the exact model number.

and Then it will be displayed in “ DEVICE

SECTION “.

>>Under “ BRANDING” section, write the region name.

>>Under “ VERSION ” section, type the firmware

number.

>>Now Select all files from “ FOLDER LIST ” section except the two files end with .taand

then click on this icon “ -> ” and you will see all files

getting listed on the right side column “ firmware

content “.

>>: Click on “ Create ” button. Now firmware ftf file will be created.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeTheBlueFox:
hello everyone, I'm a new note owner, I bought it used and I think it has two years on it, but it is in great shape. I noticed however, that the battery life isn't that amazing as people have told me, this coming from a Galaxy alpha user. I will leave screenshots of today's battery life and I think it isn't that amazing what it got

I've heard about battery miscalibration, is this really a thing? I can try and calibrated but I need to root it, & I wasn't really looking forward to reading it, since its lollipop on stock rom.

The screenshots are bellow of screen on time and total time, you can see that it's not consistent and I charge my phone two times a day.

http://imgur.com/a/ShaLI

I'm using lollipop official rom flashed on Odin via download mode, yes the rom is compatible with my country's frequencies so there's not really a problem there.

I notice however that the battery sort of goes down faster sometimes more than others, sometimes even going as far as draining 10% simply being on stand-by with LTE enabled for 2 hours in my pocket when I'm in class.

Is this normal behavior?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsdouble:
I don't think there is any such thing called miscalibration, I mean I am not sure, but well.

If your phone is 2 years old, then I think the battery has seen its life, time to get a new one mate.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Battery recalibrates itself .

However as the battery is old then Drain the battery to 5% power off charge fully unplug wait one hour top up charge and use .

Next step is new battery Anker brand is good .

Wiping battery stats/ supposed calibration has nothing to do with battery calibration and will make no difference .
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Lithium-ion batteries last about 300-500 charging cycles, after that the risk of it dying increases exponentially. Some last 5 years, some 1. It depends on usage and environmental factors.

There is no such thing as recalibrating a modern lithium ion battery. It doesn't have a memory.

New battery costs about 20 quid, it should solve the problem.

Also, did you do a reset after the update? Updates can cause battery drain too, quite often.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeTheBlueFox:
No, I did not do a reset after the update. But I noticed this before updating to lollipop, I had to do some running around before I got home the day I bought it, and it was running KitKat 4.4. I got it with 93% of battery, walked home for a bit and was down to 65, went to the shopping and back, got home with 40 to 35%. (I bought the phone at around 5 pm and finally got home after going to the mall at around 8pm)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Then it's the battery, most likely.

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. You're going to have to get the device recognized on your pc then flash the stock firmware in Odin.

Guys my english is not that good so if you dont understand something tell me.

my friend gave me his phone becouse i had to fix it for him. i thought it was an usual brick, but when i try to flash the rom with odin it fails on the nand writing. when i get in to recovery mode i see that the device doesnt mount the system file (cache, efs etc...). I tried a nand erase + repartition but odin fails them too. i dont think that the nand is broken, just something doesnt allow me to access

what should i do?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soyuz4u:

Have u tried mounting external usb stick with otg cable? what version of odin re u using?

Alternatively try installing custom recovery like philz and then try flashing a rom.

Hey, i have the same problem.

i took my phone out of my pocket and it was turned off. I tried to boot it but it got stuck at Galaxy Note II logo.

When i opened recovery (i use teamwin) , it shows in the log similar error messages to yours. It won't mount any of the partitions. I also tried repartition with odin, but it fails too.

I think the internal storage (the emmc) is broken in our phones and we can't really do anything about it. But i'm not sure.

Welcome to XDA-Dev

Not enough info given.

Is there any sound at all out of wither speaker for any function whetjher it be phone / notifications etc etc.

Did you ever have any sound and if so when and how did it stop.

Have you done a HARD reset or not

Did you flash a new ROM / install a new programme and so on

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] djstimpy:
i get sound out of the head speaker when calling but when i change over to loudspeaker it doesnt work. well i bought it used n it had this problem. i have done a load of hard resets and ive changed the rom so many times but nothing has yet worked.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Hi

Well I just looked at the board again (it's been a while). Unfortunately, in my view, it is not possible to work on the speaker circuit other than in very crude fashion. The board is multi layer and hence you cannot trace the connections easily, if at all without a diagram. Checking circuit integrity is virtuallty impossible without proper test equipment. Even repair shops won't bother - they will just get a new board. Another frustration is that it is very difficult to work on the circuit whilst it is switched on.

So after that ramble, I'm afraid if you have checked the new speaker and it's connector block then there's not much else you can do. It is possible that part of the circuit is blown, possible through a dodgy mini usb connection!

I would certainly believe it to be hardware if you've done hard resets and tried different ROMS. In fact any ROM should work.

Mike

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] typhoonikan:
Hello guys. I switched to AT&T today because I am seriously out of Sprint coverage nowadays. I am expecting to get a bill for my m8 since I left before I had paid off my phone. When sending back my phone, is it neccessary to unroot, flash stock recovery, relock, etc?

I changed my CID number in order to remove the tampered signal, I think. So I have no idea which stock nandroid backup to download here. Also, half the links for unrooting instructions here are dead, most importantly the file needed for flashing to unroot. So basically, this is just a headache and I dont want to deal with it.

I sent sprint a rooted HTC EVO 4G back when I had broken the screen and they sent me another for insurance purposes. They never said anything.

So what should I do? Aren't they just going to put a new shell on it and make it look new and sell it to someone?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] dopy25:
I guess that would depend on who receives it at the return center. Chances are that if they plan on resale they will wipe everything and run an RUU or the complete reset version of it if there is one (which most of us wish there was and we could get our hands on)

If that is the case you can always run the latest RUU on your own before sending it in.

Load rom from phone after wipe

Pardon my ignorance, but if i copy a rom and gapps to my phone and then do a full wipe, won't that wipe out the rom and gapps files? Is it stored in 2 different partitions, or do I put it on an external SD? I have TWRP 2.8.5, cm-12.1-20150407-UNOFFICIAL-d2vzw and gapps-L-4-15-15. Currently running cm11x.

1) Make sure you're on the latest TWRP

2) Download gapps from euroskank's site

3) Full wipe, flash ROM and gapps
