[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GMLancers58:
Here's my situation. Last year I bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 unlocked AT&T (SGH-i337) phone from ebay. I am using Cricket. A few months back I tried updating it by going to the update area and checking for an update. I am on 4.2.2 and wanted to upgrade to KitKat. Well my phone tells me every single time it's up to date even though I know it's not. I decided to use Kies to see if I could update it using that instead. Kies tells me my firmware is also up to date. I gave up for a few months.

Now that Lollipop is out for my phone I tried once again doing the same things. Once again both ways say my phone is up to date. I looked through multiple forums to finally find a possible answer. My phone may have been rooted at some point and apparently if it was, it can't be upgraded. I read it needs flashed back to stock. I looked at a nice long guide on here on how to flash back to stock and saw you need to know which boot loader you have?

Please help me guys. I'm assuming my phone was rooted and have never rooted myself but I want to flash to stock so that I can upgrade to Lollipop. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GMLancers58:
I flashed it successfully and am now on 4.4.2 however OTA and Kies both still say my device is up to date. At this point it doesn't look like I will ever be able to update using these two ways. I looked around trying to find a Lollipop flash but didn't know if any of them were safe. Can anybody point me toward a safe stock flash for Lollipop, or does this not exist yet?

I really need some help guys! So frustrated!

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 i337 using SafeStrap 3.75. I followed the guide PERFECTLY just as it says, I have flashed all the files I need to in Odin and still no boot. My baseband is a NB1 and I have followed the guide many many times to get it to the new OC3. Can anyone please help me out? This is the third time I have tried flashing the rom and then flashing the kernel along with the stock partitions and no boot. I know it takes longer than normal for the first boot but I left my phone sit for over an hour with no luck. I can't access SafeStrap after I flash the OC3 also to even get my phone back to working somewhat. The first initial boot after flashing everything it shows the [SafeStrap : Disabled] and then i click continue and it goes black then says the same thing and it does that about 5 times or so then just a black screen for over an hour. I'm having no luck :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
Odin back any of the Kitkat kernels so you can get in to Safestrap, and make sure the stock partition file you're using is the correct .tar format. If you have a zip, that needs to be flashed in Safestrap along with the ROM and modules. Then you can ODIN the kernel and start again. If it is the correct .tar format, then make sure you let the phone flash the kernel, reboot, and wait for ODIN to say pass.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Brandon.Black:
I've followed everything to the tee. I've re-read the directions millions of times but it's not booting. I have absolutely no idea why on this earth it won't. I've charged my phone to a 100% so it's not my battery.. I've used ODIN and flashed all the needed files until the green light comes on and says "passed". SafeStrap flashes on and off but then right after its done doing that.. NOTHING, no Samsung Boot Logo or noises just a stupid black screen. My phone feels hot after I leave it sit for awhile but never comes on from there. I feel like I'm the only one having this problem, everyone seems to be getting it to work successfully but I'm doing EVERYTHING just as should. I've flashed many many Roms before and I'm completely stumped on this one.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] scotte9999:
I haven't been able to follow the D2 consolidation, then subsequent breakup by device again, but saw that apexqtmo commits on the CM12.0 branch are pretty infrequent. There was a commit on April 3rd, which makes me think it might actually be alive.

So my question is: Does CM12.0 build for apexqtmo currently? (I haven't updated my build environment since 4.4, so can't quickly test...don't really want to spend the effort if the answer is already a known "no")

(Obvious follow-on from somebody would be "if yes, what works/doesn't work?")
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Magamo:
The short answer is 'yes', but there's some pretty big caveats.

The bare CM12 trees for apexqtmo are rather broken, and even TeamApexQ's repos currently audio is broken, but it does build. CM12.1, the answer is currently 'no'.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] scotte9999:
Thanks for the info. Sounds like more than a quick weekend project (I was hoping it was "It works except we need to update the vold configuration" or something easy). I think I'll let the wife live with CM11 for awhile longer then. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] TPMJB:
Shame because it doesn't look like any of the lollipop builds are being updated at all. I wanted to get my feet wet with building them, but this is probably more than a starting project.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nallar:
Using CM12.1.

Rotation lock in the quick settings menu has two modes, "auto-rotate" and "portrait". There seems to be no way to lock in landscape - if in landscape when locking rotation, it reverts to portrait and then locks.

With my nexus 4, the quick settings rotation lock has "rotation locked" and "auto-rotate", locking in landscape works.

Is there any way to get the same functionality working in the quick settings menu on the note 4?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] lostmyphoneagain:
I'm currently using a At&t branded S5 on cricket. I've tried to update with no luck and after reading here noticed I'm not even on the latest firmware. My S5 is running 4.4.2 and not 4.4.4. Am I able to receive the update? Can I force it in anyway? What are my options as far as getting the update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] DMF1977:
Hi, I have the same phone on straight talk service, and I received the update the day it came out... Are u checking for the update while connected to WiFi?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] lostmyphoneagain:
Yes I'm checking while connected to Wi-Fi. It's funny because all my other phones I got updates while on Straight Talk but I have received none while with Cricket. Only been on Cricket about 2 months now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] DMF1977:
Maybe throw one of your straight talk Sims in the phone and try it? I'm not sure...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] lostmyphoneagain:
I actually tried that last night and no luck, even searched for a old Att sim I had laying around and couldn't find it. Has to be something with the phone or service because even if lollipop wasn't released and my device serial number wasn't in the roll out so far the 4.4.4 update should've been available.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] DMF1977:
Was it a working sim, and did u configure the apn, save, and reboot the phone?

I have the byop 4G LTE straight talk sim for at&t, not sure if that really matters or not...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] lostmyphoneagain:
No the Sim wasn't active and no I didn't configure the APN. I should've tried that. I have the same byop 4g att Sim. I think I'm going to try and take it to best buy and see if they can force the update for me.
[Xperia Z3 General] warface:
I'd agree with most of that.

I bought a Ringke Fusion case from Amazon for mine, as the phone is obviously made of the worlds slippiest material! I got a clear one, as I like showing off the copper colour of my Z3. I think the phone may be tougher that it looks. I've dropped mine on a tiled floor, and had it slip off a bathroom shelf into an empty porcelain sink without any damage whatsoever.

I also bought a 9H tempered glass screen protector. Best buy ever. I always thought they were an unnecessary luxury, but it makes the screen a pleasure to touch when compared to a "normal" screen protector. Cuts down on fingerprints too.

I'd invest in a magnetic dock too. Saves wear and tear on the flap for the micro USB, which if it's anything like my original Z, will work loose after a few months.

The couple of things I'd add would be that the camera shutter is too close to the end of the phone, and that the lens itself is too far into the top corner. I keep putting my finger over the lens when I hold it landscape!
[Xperia Z3 General] Mobe1969:
Regards the mentioned flaps, XZ and X3, what are your thoughts on it after some time on them compared with the XZ? Are they designed better and more robust? I've replaced an XZ one before, but it failed already unbeknown to me and it got wet and is dead now. So I'm in the market for a phone...

[Nexus 9 General] ratmandu:
It can be a little annoying... I learned that they absolutely will not stack straight because of the magnets, they all offset from the one below by half an inch or so.

Learned this after we got 4 of them in to work for testing/development. I was a little perplexed at first, then I took a back off and saw all the magnets.
[Nexus 9 General] seanashmore:
Mine could really do with stronger magnets, my official 'magic' cover isn't so 'magic' :s It slides off pretty easily. It's not the cover itself either, it attaches pretty strongly to other ferrous materials so sadly it seems to be the tablet itself that's lacking.
[Nexus 9 General] ericplatham:
I don't have the official magic cover. I just got the hotcool cheapo one and felt the same way. I just placed two neodymium magnets on the cover thinking i could use it to hold business cards and other important docs while in a pinch. Call it a mind trick since I don't know the property of magnets too well, but it appears the case holds on tighter when I did that.
[Nexus 9 General] Suici Doga:
My Nexus 9 has a magnetic border too.It sticks to parts of my laptop , OTG converter , USB Flash Drive, screws , paper clips and anything metal. I thought it was something with mine but it seems to be normal (but annoying). How can we fix this
[Nexus 9 General] ewa12321:
Mine is magnetic too

Life is poker, risk being happy
[Nexus 9 General] GibsonSGJ:
It's magnetic by design. The boarder on the Nexus 9 is magnetic to support how both the Magic Cover and official folio keyboard work with it.

I am trying to link my email to my phone which sends patient sensitive information so its quite confidential. My previous devices (IOS) just required a 4 digit pin and I had to change that every month, but pin cant be any of the previous 3. that was bearable because i used 1111,2222,3333,5555....

Dear All

I need to connect my htc tyn to my work wifi configuration. The problem is the wifi is based on a root certificate permission. Obviously i have the certiface but with wm5 i can't configure the wifi with the root certificate. I try to use odyssey client for windows mobile but it allow me to use only personal certificate. Can someone help me

Thanks for your great support:confused:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Mark Crouch:
It can be done, it's just not much fun!!!

It's a bit of a convoluted process, but you can install a root certificate on a WM device - only problem is, you have to use a CAB file.

There is an article on one of the MSDN blogs that you can use (I've used it myself about 12 months ago and I still have the CAB on my SD card!). Have a look at >THIS PAGE< to find out how to do it! By the way, the "makecab" program is part of Windows XP, so you don't need to go downloading SDK's etc. :)

Have a go, hope this helps!

Mark.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] danielalvers:
I have loaded my certs by exporting them on WinXp to .CER files, copying them to my Jasjam and then opening them in file manager.

You should be prompted to install the cert.

Worked for me.

Dear all

The problem is not to import the "root" certificate to wm5, but how to use it with the wifi (weap) structure.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] disobey:
I've had my Aquos since October of 2014. I always let the phone die all the way before I charge it completely. So I let my phone die a couple nights ago, and since then it's taking 6 to 8 hours for the phone to charge from 0% to 100%. That's with the phone on OR off. Again, another reason they should give us source so we can root. I'd recalibrate my battery. Anyone else having this issue?
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] MrTriTanium:
You are never supposed to go from 0-100-0 consistently, or frequently even. That is how you kill batteries. I would not be surprised if that is what happened to you if you did that since October.

I know I am sounding like a d**k.

You can't install International firmware on some Chinese model of Samsung devices, since they have different partition size. You can only flash Chinese firmware.

If you have the International pit file, it should work if you flash it together with International firmware.
