[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tintenfisch:
Hi there everybody.

So a friend of mine bought a used Samsung Galaxy S3. Now he was like "doesn't work somehow" and asked me to fix it, yaaay.

The device could not connect to the selected carrier. Or better: It connected but we got a popup telling us, that the device could not get registered in the network. Seems to me as the previous owner of the phone was messing around with it, for example I found an empty cwm-directory, but didn't have root-access. Seems to me as this phone had several roms in the past and that is was flashed with a stock-rom before the sale. So I continued my search and finally found that the phone had a 0049...-IMEI --> corrupted/invalid IMEI. So I googled around, found a few fixes and stuff and after 2 hours of several flashs, roots, unroots, resets etc. I finally got the original IMEI back.

Still the phone cannot register in the network, also I have a black/yellow box all over the homescreen with some technical info - as far as I understood from google, the phone is in some kind of "factory mode", whatever that is.

My question is very simple at the moment: What to do next? Is it possible to save the device? Or do we just have an expensive mp3-player now? I found some stores online telling me to be able to fix that, but I don't really know if they are trustworthy, also it seems kinda senseless to send the device half around the globe.

I made some pictures of the current status, see http://imgur.com/a/rW70Q

Phone is set to german, but you should get the important things.

Best wishes and thank you,

Philipp

dears,

how can i add Ultra power saving mode for I9505 with official rom 5.0.1
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
You can't. Unless you install a touchwiz based custom rom.

There was one which had something called Ultra Power Saver. I don't know which one :(

Hello i need some help my galaxy s3 is overheating too much even when im not using it or even while in off charging it overheats alot. The battery drains too fast, Also i noticed the phone is so slow to charge. I tried factory reset and format sd cards but no changes at all. It maybe a battery or phone hardware issues?

Thank you.. Sorry for my english.
[Moto X Q&A] mokagi:
Hi

I have an AT&T XT1058 with locked bootloader, on 4.4.4

I tried to rest it to factory, but it got stuck on 'Erasing...' (with the little droid) for more than an hour, so I reset it.

Since then it won't boot, only keep stuck on 'Erasing...'. I've tried reflashing it with ATT_XT1058_4.4.4-KXA21.12-L1.26_CFC_1FF both using RSD lite and manually using mfastboot, but no luck - the phone still boots to 'Erasing...' and sometimes after that to the recovery.

I didn't find anything in relevant threads. Does anyone have an idea?
[Moto X Q&A] mokagi:
Selecting 'Factory' in the bootloader seemed to fix it.
[Moto X Q&A] mokagi:
It is more comlicated than that :(

The phone does boot after selecting 'factory' in bootloader, but only once - turning the phone off and on again brings it back to its 'erasing...' state. Besides that the phone seems to not be able to charge the battery :(
[Moto X Q&A] cjsill9473:
Were you able to get this resolved? I have a xt1095 doing the same thing when I flash a stock recovery. Just shows the android guy and just stuck at erasing... When I flash TWRP it doesn't get stuck at the "erasing..." anymore but just boots straight into TWRP.
[Moto X Q&A] mokagi:
Sorry for the late response, I missed the notification on your message.

I wasn't able to fix it, returned it to motorola.

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading] Ultimate Chicken:
I dunno. I've compared both the A-Life and Atom together. Despite having the Atom name, the A-Life is a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT UNIT. Heck, it doesn't even have the same size. This is a different kettle of fish, unlike the one we had with Atom Exec vs Vanilla Atom.

(You could argue that the size could come from the 3G extension board they tacked onto the Atom board, but I highly doubt that is the case.)

Hi, sorry for my bad english, I'm from Mexico

Yes, you can do it (I made myself with the 23.1.A.0.726 Lollipop, the HK and US) and is working really fine

Just 2 thing in mind:

1.- You need root and working recovery (in your last rom, for example 4.4.4)

2.- The correct files to make the preroot: the supersu, the ftf and the dual recovery(this works with lollipop http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2261606)
[Samsung Gear S] ocaldini:
Hi all.

I don't know If you all know this, but I found a very big bug (or mistake) from Samsung.

I was a bit concerned about being stolen,robbed, or simply forget where the watch is.

So I looked up an app to locate Gear S by its GPS on mobile (mine is Galaxy S5) , and I have found nothing.

(apps like Cerberus, "find my mobile" from Samsung, etc... for Gear S)

So I tried Gear Manager app.

There's "Find my gear" option, you can find the watch If it is bluetooth thetered.

On "Find my gear" menu, you can see "Turn On Share Location".

To turn it on, you need to enable GPS on your mobile. Once it's done, you can use "Locate Gear" and you'll have Gear S location address on your mobile (great!).

This feature also works when Gear is not bluetooth thetered but connected remotely (both devices connected to the intenet (it's not need same network, I tried 4G on mobile and WiFi on Gear and it works).

That's very nice and important, because in case of not being bluetooth paired you can still find your watch, or at least, the address where it is.

You can also disable internet on both devices and they will be connected remotely again If you enable internet on them.

You can also turn off both devices and turn them on later and they will be connected remotely again by internet and "Share Location" will keep working.

The BUG:

You can disable GPS on your mobile, but do not open Gear Manager. If you do it, "Locate Gear" will be greyed, and you will lose the "Share location".

To "Turn On Share Location" again you must be bluetooth paired! But what If I can't find my watch to do it!

This is a software bug, because you can turn your mobile off (GPS will be off, of course), turn Gear S off, you turn both of them on again, they are connected remotely and "Share Location" will be working SINCE you enable GPS on your mobile before opening Gear Manager app.

So, this is my tip: DO NOT EVER open Gear Manager without enabling GPS before If you want to keep "share location" feature working.

I believe I'm not the only one with this bug.

My S5 (G900M) is running ZTO OC4 (5.0), Gear Manager version: 2.2.15022599.

R750B - ZTO - OA9.

If anyone knows an app else to locate our Gear S using GPS?

Let me know If you have this bug too...

Thanks.
[Samsung Gear S] alanshortt:
without being flippant or unhelpful I don't quite understand the problem

don't get me wrong I'm very often puzzled why some people don't understand other peoples use case issues

but ... being a wristwatch, my Gear S is either on my wrist, being charged nearby, or otherwise in one of a relatively small number of discrete locations (including maybe in the washing machine, somewhere under my pillow, or down the back of the sofa)

I for one found Apple's "find my iDevice" very useful in locating said devices and reducing sleepless nights:

"Did I leave my iphone/macbook at work, in the car, in the hotel, airport or where I was working today.... did my iphone bounce out of my pocket somewhere else ? ... has someone stolen it ?" etc.

If the device still had a charge and a signal I could locate it, breathe a sigh of relief, contact those locations and/or send a message "please return REWARD no questions asked"

wrt to theft, muggings or my own cognitive impairment I'm not so sure "find my Gear S" would be as useful - the Gear S will be either somewhere in my house or my workplace, or gone for good ... ??
[Samsung Gear S] kieso:
I personally leave gps off until I exercise. So that being said, in order for find my watch to be effective id like to see gps automatically turned on when away from my phone. That way if it was ever left somewhere other then my house I could actually find it
[Samsung Gear S] esseff:
Easy... never trun gps off = no bug.

I use my GS as a stand alone phone for work and a Note 4 as my private phone.

I treat my GS like any other phone. All features always on, brightness full and charge it every night.

No big deal, no issues, everything works great.
[Samsung Gear S] Sunfish18:
Samsung Gear S gps not work on other country

I brought the GS in canada, mainly used as standalone and no SIM. I loaded with offline maps canada + italy. It works in north amercia and able to locate me and show directions. When I was in italy, GS never able to locate my current spot. it simply looping in "finding me" within the HERE map app. I wonder is it locked by design to prevent use in other country. or there is a GPS fix or needed to be rooted?

Guys I've observed stuttering while scrolling in play store on almost every ROM I tried multiple ROMs including TW, CM12 and GPE and I certainly think that it's not the ROM but the play store itself because I see same stuttering on my stock nexus 4 and 10 as well. I'm seeing the issue just recently from past 2-3 weeks. Initially I thought it's the ROM but it's there on almost every ROM I tried. You just need to scroll on the play store home page to experience the issue I'm referring. The scrolling isn't smooth as or used to be. Similar issue is there in Google+ as well.

Is anyone else suffering from same issue and if yes, do you have any solution to suggest? Thanks in advance.
[LG Optimus G Pro] MEDY123:
Alright, now i'm going to show you how to flash LG G pro lite using LG flash tool, this method does not required internet connection (offline).

So basically you need to download the kdz firmware for LG G pro lite and LG flash tool, this way you can flash your phone offline.

You maybe asking, why do i need to flash my phone? well here's some reasons why you want to flash your LG G pro lite:

your phone stuck in bootloop

you want to completely unroot the phone

you want to upgrade from jelly bean to kitkat

you want to downgrade from kitkat to jelly bean

your phone runs very slow and you want fresh install

you want to sell your phone

Remember that this is a DWYOR tutorial, means do with your own risk, this flashing method is tested successfully by me, but i'm not responsible if you damaged your phone.

Here's all the ingredients for this tutorial (stuff that you need)

LG united mobile driver,

LG G pro lite kdz firmware

LG flash tool 2014,

Visual C++ runtime

Computer running windows ( i use windows 7)

The LG G pro lite itself

Micro USB cable

Donuts and coffee with less sugar

Courage and confidence

Okay, after you get all the ingredients, we can begin to flash the phone, and don't forget to backup your data first, because all data inside internal memory will be gone after flashing.

Step by step how to flash LG G pro lite

install LG united mobile driver

install Visual C++ runtime

run LGFlashTool2014.exe

select type "CDMA" and phone mode as "DIAG"

select the kdz file (the firmware that you're going to use to flash the phone)

put the phone into download mode, read my previous article if you don't understand

click on "Normal Flash"

click ok on "select country & language" window

wait until the whole process finish

It's actually very easy to flash LG G pro lite offline using LG flash tool, now you can go from jelly bean to kitkat back and forth.

This flashing method could also be applied to other LG smartphones that runs android, such as LG G3, G2, G2 mini, etc.

NOTE

when i was flashing my G pro lite dual from kitkat 4.4.2 to jelly bean 4.1.2, after finish flashing i got stuck on boot logo, i solve this by doing factory hard reset and the phone boot normally.

make sure when you plug the phone to computer (download mode) there is no error message, install the latest LG united mobile driver.

it is recommended that you do factory reset before flashing your phone.

First post. Please be gentle.

My HTC Desire 310 is stuck in a bootloop. I've tried flashing different ROMs to it but nothing works.

I think the problem with the ROMs is because I don't have root access. The bootloader is locked too.

I'm unable to root my phone because it's stuck at the HTC logo.

Hi there,

I'm having trouble even loading Android Studio in Ubuntu on XenServer. I don't have any issues on Windows but for some reason when running in Ubuntu I get a totally corrupted GUI.

I thought it might have been from using OpenJDK to start with, so I switched to Oracle. But I still can't view it, the first dialogue looks like a badly rendered image. When I close the dialogue I get an error,

Okay so the solution in this instance was to let the OS do all the updates that were pending and restart. Now it's looking normal again.

While I'm not running goldeneye, I did upgrade from stock kitkat to lollipop using munz_ri's original directions that involved installing safe strap then flashing the new rom from it, rendering safe strap not working in lollipop. The problem is that I have the same issue you describe where every time I reboot I get the safe strap screen at least three times prior to it booting to the Samsung logo. Do you know of any safe way to remove the screen for safe strap so it just boots normally? Until safe strap is updated (if at all), it doesn't make a lot of sense to have it installed in lollipop if I have to flash down to a kitkat kernel to even use it.. :)

I have been on LolliRom So I don't know about you, but SU on lollipop has been really spotty for me, and never really works unless I do the following:

- Swipe down from the top edge of your phone to pull down the notifications tray

- press the second to the right icon at the top (it looks like a gear) to get into settings

- in settings press the "MORE" tab

- press "Security" (the padlock/first green icon)

- press "SuperSU" to get into the super user settings

- in SuperSU, press "SETTINGS"

- under Access, press "Default access" to open a pop up menu

- the default setting is "prompt" (which I haven't had any luck with), you want to change it to "Grant"

- while still in settings, scroll down to "Security"

- You want to check "Enable su during boot" (it's disabled by default)

- Then restart your phone (hotboot or full restart)

I thought I did all of this in SuperSU but I guess not. Now its all fixed. Thanks.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] missytoby2000:
yeah, it breaks the ROM, but...

I just installed ALBE N5 Astra Port v 2.5P and needed to clear dalvik cache... which I could not do, because Safestrap doesn't work with 0C3 kernel, as you clearly say... so I tried your workaround, in spite of I did have the SS splash screen with the bug you mention, but having installed SS again, it wouldn't get me into recovery at reboot, no matter what I did. Rebooted in dwld mode, flashed NJ4 kernel and voilá! there I was, directly into SS, haven't even seen the splash screen this time. Wiped dalvick cache and rebooted to system... oh, no! Didn't get into my phone. Nope. Passing the SS splash screen and Sammy bootimage, black screen and didn't go further... pushed the power button again and got into SS directly when I was about to flash 0C3 kernel via Odin. This time, I flashed the 0C3 Kernel and modules from within SS, as if I just were flashing the aforementioned ROM, and just in case, wiped cache and dalvik... again! and rebooted to system. It is getting into the phone now, and android is updating, as if I just flashed the ROM. I Have all my data backed up in my pc, so let's see what do I have to reinstall, if so.

I needed to wipe dalvik because playstore stopped working properly (can't dwld apps anymore, in spite of it was working fine earlier) and suddenly, SMS app stop working too, and was working great this morning.

Just wanted to share my experience with your method, just in case someone runs into something like I did.

Thank you for your great job, dcoke! Kudos!

Cheers!

PS: Everything is fine, except that could not fix the errors that lead me to try this procedure. I will look into the the ROM's posts to figure out what to do next, at least I know now how to get into SS... again! TY!
