[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] memreez:
Hi guys. So this is my situation; my phone is currently turned off.

If I hold the power button, the Samsung Galaxy S4 logo appears in with the black background, then disappears and the phone turns off after 1~2 seconds.

If I hold the power, volume down button then I get the custom OS screen. If I then choose to restart from this screen, the phone restarts and the Galaxy Logo shows for around 6-8 seconds then disappears again.

If I go to the custom OS screen again, then press restart, I can then hold the volume up button and the lock button and the blue message saying 'Recovery Booting..' along with the same black Galaxy logo then the screen disappears after 1-2 seconds seemingly turning off, then it vibrates once after a couple more seconds then does nothing again

I can not get the recovery booting screen from simply holding Volume up and the power button, I need to do it after restarting through the custom OS screen.

My phone is also suddenly not recognising the charger being plugged in. There is no observed difference between attempts to turn it on with/without the charger plugged in.

The last time the phone was properly turned on, it switched itself off at around 4-6% battery left and from then on I have this result.

So, can you guys help?

Hi!

First off, I didn't know where this belongs, so I'm sorry in advance if this is the wrong part of the forum.

My wife and I are moving to Santa Monica in August, and one of my biggest struggles right now is figuring out what American carrier to go with (yep, this is MY issue to handle, since I'm the phonegeek in the family). I'll start off with telling you what we're used to here in Sweden, and I hope you can help us pick a carrier and maybe even a plan that will fit our usage after the big move.

We always buy our phones unlocked from electronics stores, ALWAYS. I'm currently using the OnePlus One which should be working fine in the U.S., but I am planning on getting an LG G4 in a few months. Wifey's got an iPhone 5S (European version, guessing she'll have to replace it in order to use 4G/LTE IB the U.S?) I suppose it depends on what carrier we choose, but if signing up for a plan and getting the phone along with it is a better option than cashing it we're of course willing to do so (I have absolutely no idea how this stuff works in America, as you might've understood by now...).

We're currently using Telenor, on a shared family plan. The cost for this is roughly $85 a month. It includes a shared 24GB of data, unlimited calls and unlimited texts. To be honest, this is way beyond what we ever use, so cutting the data amount in half should be no problem at all. We don't text or call that much either, but it's nice to have the ability to do so if needed.

From what I understand, Verizon locks their phones down tight. Locked bootloaders, SIM locked and whatnot. If this really is the case Verizon really isn't a viable option considering the fact that I'm an avid flasher of roms. My wife doesn't really care much about that stuff though, she's all iPhone all the way.

Any advice, thought or opinion is welcome and highly appreciated!

Thanks for the reply! I've read good stuff about T-Mobile so I think that's what I'll go with. Apparently I'll get 4G with a European LG G4 with them aswell so that suits me great.

Hi.

I got the Lollipop update for my Z3 Compact (T-mobile), and now I see i can add an external share to my phone. Does this mean I can add my Nas (a special share for my phone) to offload images and videos to? If so, how do I add the share? Can't find any info on this subject. Anyone added an external share? Thanks in advance.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpurick:
Yes, it can connect to SMB (Windows) shares. The KitKat builds had this capability as well. On my Lollipop phone my home computer share is still visible in the storage control from when I connected to it with KitKat.

Personally, I prefer to use the tabs in Root Explorer to browse my PC file system.

I was on AICP and restored nandroid to Stock rom..

[Verizon LG G3] hawkswind1:
Don't take OTA's while rooted or with custom recoveries.

Boot to TWRP, plug your phone into your computer, then in TWRP go to advanced and hit enable MTP. This should allow your computer to access the G3's files after you've connected it. If you can't, google for the LG PC drivers for VS985

Here's the zip you need to place on your device and flash:

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Tersus:
So I just soft-bricked my Kindle Fire HDX 7. It does not boot any more but I still have ADB access.

I just tried to follow the steps as described here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60307966&postcount=187

I successfully updated to 3.2.5 and now was about to downgrade to 3.1.0 when I used the .bat from this thread to apply the downgrade: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53382929&postcount=1

Even though I tried it several times, I could not downgrade because it said the requested version is lower than the one currently installed.

So le stupid me went on and found out which files the bat was generating/pushing on my HDX, and then manually replaced the /system/build.prop with the one generated by the batch.

I'm not doing this for the first time, so I made a backup of the old build.prop naming it build.prop.backup [afaik].

I then shut down the kindle (to go for a reboot) but apparently it doesn't work and the screen stays black.

Still, it seems like a pretty stupid move afterwards because otherwise it wouldn't cause a brick, right^^ Anyways, I unfortunately have no recovery installed atm.

I rooted the 3.2.5 with towelroot before btw...

However, if I try to copy/replace the build.prop backup it just can't find that file. I tried rebooting/pressing the power button but it doesn't help either.

Can anyone please help me to repair it -.-?

Edit: Turns out that I was accessing my blueStacks emulator with adb, which, even though it wasn't running at the time, caused the commands to not work.

The bluestacks service in windows was responsible for it. Charging the kindle atm and hope to be able to get adb :S

FINAL EDIT: So I messaged amazon Support, told them that it was bricked during an update and got a new kindle without any problems. Didn't mention the downgrade obviously^^

I followed this tutorial and was able to upgrade, downgrade, install TWRP and unlock my bootloader successfully: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60186871&postcount=82

For everyone: Just keep in mind that if you are running BlueStacks on your computer you will need to stop all bluestack services in order to make the tools work properly and not end up with a bricked device!

Otherwise some adb commands will fail because it doesn't know which device to use.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
** NEVER MESS WITH BUILD.PROP **

(unless you are an expert and have robust recovery options)
​

Well, you had the right idea as the modified build.prop never made it to your Kindle which is why you were getting the version mismatch message. It saw 13.1.x was lower than 13.2.5 and bailed. The modified build.prop tricks your Kindle into thinking it is at 13.0.0 so processes the 13.1.x .bin as an upgrade.

None of that really matters as I'm guessing permissions are messed on one or more files that were copied to your device. Options are few if you can not gain write access (obviously bootloader remains locked). You can try a system restore from stock recovery (if working) which can be accessed by pressing the power and volume-up buttons simultaneously from a cold start. I don't hold out much hope that will fix your problem. Fastboot cables are ineffective.

There are several unbrick threads you may want to explore. I have no direct experience with a device in that condition so can't offer much guidance. Perhaps someone will jump in with a better answer ...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Tersus:
I just noticed that if I press power for about 20 secs I get the first boot screen.

But it never reaches the one with the golden kf logo...

I can get to the stock recovery, but a factory reset doesn't change it either.

Any way to get into fastboot from ADB?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jeryll:
After you shutdown your kindle, you can get into fastboot mode by holding "volume -" button while pressing shortly power button (2-3 sec) ... Unfortunately that will not help you, because fastboot mode on HDX tablets is only usable with unlocked bootloader...

I am watching several unbrick threads here over time, some people claims they do not need root for restoring system, some failed because of no root, hard to tell, what will work in your case, but from what you are describing, seems to me, that you are very close to permanent brick, sorry...

But I strongly suggest you, that you at least try this unbrick method or this one, maybe luck will be on your side...

I'm currently working on an Android app I called Mi Fit Companion (closed beta now) that extracts data from Mi Fit and exports it to online services. Requires root, already exports to GPX files, Strava via its API. Export to Google Fit is in process.

This essentially means that all Mi Band (2, 3 and 4 are tested) and Amazfit bands (testes with Amazfit Cor, theoretically all models should work, probably except Amazfit Pace -- need to verify though) that are the lowest price end of fitness band world become compatible with Strava and Google Fit. And something else we can imagine.

EDIT: Looks as though they have moved it back!

So I was browsing the xda forums today like normal and I noticed that the "post count" has been moved from the spot it always has been right below the thanks meter into the "More" section. No argument from me--if that's what the higher-ups at XDA want, that's fine by me, however I don't like it in that position. So I moved it.

You might be asking, "I want the post count back!! How did you do this magic??!"

Quite simple, really. I wrote up a script that will moved it back for Chrome users. Simply follow the instructions below:

1. Download the script [URL="http://devolutionapps.com/moveposts.user.js"]here[/URL] (562 bytes).

2. Go to [URL="chrome://extensions/"]chrome://extensions/[/URL] in your browser.

3. Click and drag the downloaded script into the extensions window and it will install automatically.

4. Navigate to XDA forums(or hit refresh) and voila! The post count moves back magically.

Hope this helps. :good:

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwatson:
Have you noticed your G6SE is dropping calls and has overall poor reception?

I've had mine for four days now and have dropped many calls and lost signal where my previous phone managed to easily retain the network and never dropped calls.

Also I noticed when connected to my car's bluetooth, the signal display never shows full strength where again my previous phone always did. The GS6E only ever shows 80%

20150424_222933-1 by markcaigerwatson, on Flickr

when looking at my signal history in gsam, it also never goes above 80% which ties up with what my car's display.

Screenshot_2015-04-24-22-15-33.png by markcaigerwatson, on Flickr

Now i've made a comparison between my M8 and the GS6E and this clearly shows the GS6E is less sensitive to cell reception and this equates to the dropped calls.

The M8 can achieve -69 dBm at one one one point

Screenshot_2015-04-24-22-52-42 by markcaigerwatson, on Flickr

and the GS6E a lower -81dBm

Screenshot_2015-04-24-22-56-54 by markcaigerwatson, on Flickr

Ok, so the GS6E is not as good as others at cell reception. Is this a hardware limitation? or could new radios help this?

I'm on tmo (US) and no issues. Honestly I've not read a lot of complaints about cell reception or at least no more than usual on any device. Regardless of that why I chimed in was really to say that my first phone was defective. The issues I had (horrid batt despite trying every fix mentioned here and all across the internet, fingerprint scanner was about 50%, again tried every possible fix I was able to scour up. New device and the fingerprint scanner immedietly worked perfectly and my battery life was fixed without me doing a thing. Keep in mind that by fixed battery I mean I get about 4 hours screen up time which isn't good but about what I would expect for a small battery in a bloated device.

Long story short, consider exchanging it. The lack of reports that speak of bad cell reception imply you may have a lemon to me.
