[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flynmoose:
My 2 y.o. Verizon Note 2 died the other day. Would boot up but as soon as I unlocked the screen, it would shut down.

I've re-flashed (was using Alliance Build 30 since its release.)

I was finally able to flash it back to Stock using ODIN (I605VRALJB) and it flashes successfully.

Side note - I could charge the battery to 100% by charging from Philz Recovery before I flashed to stock.

Now in stock, it will start to boot but not just shuts down at different points in the boot process.

I don't have spare battery - so I suppose I should try a different battery to see if it is a high current draw fault in the battery but I'm wondering if anyone has ever seen a defective power control circuit on the MOBO. Now that I am at stock and can charge without booting the phone, the charge indicator will repeatedly jump between 100% and 80% (the charge status reported in Philz before flashing back to Stock) with the progress dots moving across the bottom.

Anyone see something like this? I hate to buy a new battery to find out it is a defective phone (will see if I can find one at a Verizion store or BB where I can return). But if it is just a battery, will save me using an upgrade right now (I've got 3 business lines with contracts that expire in the fall and want to do a contract swap rather than an upgrade at this point.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flynmoose:
OK - Batteries are cheap - worth a $12 gamble to avoid replacing the phone at this point. Will see if I can find a local retailer. No mobile phone is a BIG problem for my work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flynmoose:
It was the battery

Stupid battery had gone Tango Uniform. Had the wife pick one up at Batteries+ ($35 not $12 but needed to make some decisions quick with upcoming travel.)

Thankfully I had managed to get a Recovery backup before it completely fell over - so after rerooting, unlocking and such - I'm back in business no worse for the wear.

I realize I answered my own question and am talking to myself - but maybe this will help someone else.

May keep spare battery around for my daily driver from now on.

Hello guys. Im on stock rooted .726 5.0.2. Unlocked bootloader. What are the ways or how can i increase background processes? Because it easily kills and restarts 3 opened apps even though i still have some spare memory left.

Attention!!! DOESN'T WORK WITH CURRENT CM12.1 NIGHTLIES. It worked in May nightlies, but not in June. I will provide fix as soon as possible in this post.

Info: This is Viper4Android flashable zip for AOSP and AOSP based ROMs running Android versions 5.x.x for galaxy S4

SELinux status must be permissive, otherwise V4A will ask to install driver again or just will not have any effect. Download permissive_selinux_status.apk (attached) if your SELinux mode is enforcing, open it once, provide root access. Everytime you open this app it changes SELinux mode to permissive and it will do it on every boot automatically.

Includes:

# Addon.d script (so it survives CyanogenMod nightlies).

# Permanent removal of AudioFX.apk, DSPManager.apk, MusicFX.apk (stuff that might conflict with V4A).

# Patches to work with Android Lollipop

Doesn't include:

# Any galaxy S4 model based libraries

# Uninstall script (backup backup backup).

To uninstall completelly Viper4Android, delete /system/addon.d/92-v4a.sh and /system/addon.d/91-v4a.sh (if exists) files and dirty flash your ROM.

Instructions:

1. Flash Zip file via custom recovery

2. Boot up your device, open Viper4Android app, install high quality driver, reboot

3. (Optionally) install permissive status changer apk and open it once. Provide root access.

4. Enjoy

Troubleshooting:

# If it fails to install driver, it's probably because /system is RO (Read only). You must change it to RW (Read write). You can do this using Root explorer (it's your business of how to install it. Probably use Google Play).

# Sometimes it usually stops working in the background. I have no idea how to fix it (first, I am not developer in any way). You might want to use a the auto starter plugin from here. BTW it's attached there, APK file.

Tested on CM12.1 optimised builds on Galaxy S4 9505 (jfltexx). In my opinion, it should work on other devices too running Android L.

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Technical:
Strange, I'm on CM 12.1 from yesterday (June 6) and it's working. Is it because I dirty flash the ROM?

I know it's working because the sound is, indeed, at high volume (profile).

Also it is not FCing.

I have 12.1 and older version of viper is working flawlessly!

I tried both my modifications and they aren't working at all with viper4android. Yes, the sound is not muted or what so ever, but viper4android produces no effect.

[Huawei Ascend P7] PrimuSSaintS:
Hello everyone,

I've got a little question regarding the notification badges on my P7-L10. I always thought there were none which is the reason I have Nova set as my default launcher with an addon for notification badges, but I've just seend a video on YouTube with a comparison between the Mate 7 and the P8 Max and the Mate7 had some apps with notifications. Did I miss something? is there anything I need to activate to get them or was that added with an update that the P7 doesn't have?

I'm not unhappy with Nova Launcher but I like the basic launcher from Huawei so if I could use that, I would me more than happy.

My second question is about the music player, I have some music or genre like "reggaeton" with an accent above the "o" but in my music app it doesn't display those character properly. Instead I see some weird symbols and It kinda pushed me to using another music player but once again, if I could use the default music player, I would more than satisfied.

Can anyone help me with this? Sorry if the question has already been asked, and thanks for your time!
[Huawei Ascend P7] usb2:
1) huawei launcher support notification icon for stock email app, stock messaging app, missed calls, updater app (since emui 2.3)

2) for second question i'm sorry but i don't know...maybe have you installed theme with custom font?
[Huawei Ascend P7] PrimuSSaintS:
Thanks for the answer man

as for the first question, I tried it and yeah, i saw the notification badges, I actually use nova launcher since i got the phone and never went back to check ^^

as for the second question, i tried another theme and didn't see any changes in the music app (I still see those chinese symbols). It's not a big deal as I don't have any character problem in Play Music and Rocket Player.

thanks for your answer
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] williaam:
Hello,

I think I did something really wrong with my Xperia Z. I rooted it a month ago, I have the latest stock rom. Yesterday, I downloaded an app called Flashify on the play store who claimed to be able to flash recoveries and zips directly from phone, as long as it was rooted. I tried to flash the purexaudio mod to my phone, and since then it has become unusable. It first started to be very hot, then laggy, which forced me to shut it down. Now everytime I turn it on, it is usable for barely two minutes, before it becomes really laggy and nothing works or it freezes. Some actions directly crash my phone, such as opening the developers settings. I looked at the RAM usage on the phone's settings and the RAM is filling up progressively until the total 1.8GB of RAM is used and my phone freezes. I really don't know what is causing this.

It gets even worse, as I've managed to factory reset my phone with the sony PC companion, but the problem is still there. I can't access reccovery but I can access fastboot mode. However, neither Flashtool or fastboot command shell will flash a recovery for me (I get an "access denied" error). I can't flash the stock kerne with Flashtooll, I have the message : "Processing of loader.sin finished with errors." (I had this problem when I rooted it but I really can't remember how I fixed it).

I'm really anxious about what I've done with my phone, I hope someone could help me recover my phone as I honestly don't know what to do at this point...

Thank you so much in advance.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaurynasVP:
Well, that's not weird at all that you're getting "access denied" via fastboot. You said you've rooted your device, but did you unlock your phone's bootloader?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] williaam:
No, I guess I didn't... My bootloader status in Flashtool is : ROOTABLE I'm going to try doing that first. Thank you so much for your fast answer
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] williaam:
I have a big problem actually now, as repairing my firmware with the sony software removed the USB debugging option. And opening the "developers settigns" to turn it back on still makes the settings crash. So I have no way of unlocking the bootloader now have I?

EDIT : Okay, nevermind. I managed to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery (Cyanogen recovery). But now I'm on a boot loop (Sony message then Xperia then phone restarts)

What should I do now?

EDIT 2 : Solved the problem by simply wiping all caches/data from my recovery (ended up setting up the more traditional CW recovery) + sideloading a custom ROM (Ultimate PureZ). Now everything's working perfectly.

Thank you again for suggesting to unlock the bootloader, I couldn't have flashed the recovery otherwise. Have a nice day!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaurynasVP:
You're welcome, but in this case you've made a major mistake - you didn't take TA Partition backup in which all DRM keys are being kept. Now you've erased them permanently, this will cause some stock applications to won't work (camera stabilization and etc.,).

Have a nice day you too
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] williaam:
Really? :/ What won't work exactly.?. I bootloaded my phone the official way though...

And BTW that's strange but when I put my SDCard back into my phone it crashed just like before? I guess I should format it?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaurynasVP:
Guess so. If even will update to earlier version (4.4.x) or later BE2 won't work, as well as camera stabilization (focus, well, it works, but photos are a bit like blured) and some other functions that I don't remember at the moment. It doesn't matter how did you unlock your bootloader, the fact that you've unlocked your bootloader is the most important. I'm sorry, but there's nothing we can do about it (DRM keys recover) at the moment. Maybe in a future there will be found a solution for this, but then our phone, I suppose will be like a nokia 3310 in nowadays.

Btw, you can still get some functions working, just surf this forum for unlocked bootloader functions "Get back" or sth., don't remember thread name either.. :| :D
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phositadc:
Weird issue I'm having on a G920i. In Settings -> About Device -> Status, the signal strength is being reported incorrectly. When I first boot the device, it will show accurately and will vary from -90 dBm to -100 dBm when I am at my house, which is consistent with every device I've ever owned. However, after 30-45 seconds, it will start reporting at "-113 dBm 0 asu" and it will simply stay there and will never change, even as I move about. The number of bars in the signal strength icon on the status bar will even change, but in the Status menu, signal strength simply stays at "-113 dBm 0 asu" permanently. Connectivity seems to be fine--I have no problems making calls, browsing the web, etc. The signal strength in the Status menu simply seems to revert to and stick at 113 dBm 0 asu with no explanation or other impact on the phone.

For what it's worth, I've tried both the New Zealand and Singapore AOD1 firmwares from Sammobile.com. Same problem on both. I'm on AT&T in the U.S.

Anybody else seeing anything like this?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mupet0000:

[MENTION=2960395]mupet0000[/MENTION] & [MENTION=2557805]phositadc[/MENTION] I've seen you guys in a few forums talking about the Galaxy S6 SM-G920I signal issues... Mine is the same! Swapped 2 phones already and they have awful lte reception... I was hoping a different modem/baseband would help but it looks like it doesn't....plus a few soft reboots as well what's going on? Have you guys experienced any reboots? Can this be fixed with a software update?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s-one:
OK checked mine and its yes your right. -113 in status however if you type *#0011# in your dialer you'll see the better reception reported. Interestingly this did not happen when I was on the Cricket towers(At&t). I just switched to T-Mobile and I now have the -113 status. My speeds are great but I can't side-by-side compare the radios to anything to know if there is a real problem.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phositadc:
No reboots here. I flashed the aod3 modem last night and things seem a little better on AT&T. On the aod1 modem, I was not getting LTE in a bunch of places that I've always had LTE before. I know the g920i has frequency support for AT&T LTE bands, and I do get LTE, but I must say so far the experience has not been as good as other LTE phones I've had. Not sure if that's the modem firmware to blame or the hardware itself. Probably firmware.

Hey all, I'm in the UK and I have the SGS6 edge on the 3 network here. I use my phone for tethering at all times as I do not have wifi in the house. with my SGS5 before this I could easily run my PC , Tablet my son mobi and his gaming PC all at the same time with no issue. The S5 would run a full signal and load very quickly HD content.

My brand new S6 is disapointing singnal wise from straight out the box. I noticed my signal level fluctuating up and down but very rare dose it show a full signal level. and as for teathering I am finding it very hard to live with.

I will be suprised if Samsung sort this out with firmware. I just had a 150 MB firmware update yesterday and my signal level is the same.

I remember my Nokia N96 having this same fault, and although it was all over the internet back then, Nokia did nothing in all the firmware updates I had. I was going to sell my pristine 7 month old S5..... but I think I will hang on to it for now.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mupet0000:
Hey guys, I am on the latest OTA released by Samsung (AOE3 built May 7th) and the problem is still not resolved. LTE signal still awful and LTE signal strength still -113. So far so bad. I have contacted Samsung again, and tomorrow I have a phone call with their support where they will remotely access my phone so I can show them the problem. I will show them and see how it goes, and I'll report back here.

I will make it clear to them that the signal strength is worse than my 2 year old S4, and I will demonstrate the incorrect signal strength value to the support agent. If they tell me it's a non issue or they make some silly excuse instead of investigating, I will simply sell the S6 and get another phone.

This is a huge issue and I'm disappointed that there aren't many people noticing this or reporting it to Samsung. The more popular the S6 gets, the more people will notice that their old phone holds a better signal.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kjc99:
I think it is a widespread issue... I always have 1 bar lte and under my signal status it say - 113dbm which is zero service... It never moves... I'm gonna try custom rom and see if that help but it obviously a antenna/modem baseband issue... Also someone mentioned it could be because the Galaxy S5 uses Cat 4 lte and the S6 uses Cat 6.....its very disappointing! Hopefully it gets fixed or I'll return to the S5...i really want to like this phone..... But Samsung is making it hard to
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johanbiff:
I don`t think there is anything wrong with the signal. even if I only have 1 bar the phone is perfect during calls and my LTE/4G download speed is even over the provided speed my carrier provides, I think it`s just a bug that it`s showing less signal then what it actualy has.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Japultra:
This is true. It's simply a bug that shows the wrong signal strength - mine shows -113 but I'll have 3 bars so that makes no sense. However, if you ARE getting a bad signal, that is a different issue altogether.

(btw I started a thread about this already several weeks back)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mupet0000:
Spoke to Samsung on the phone, they didn't need to remote access my phone to see the issue. They had an S6 in their office and they told me they saw the signal at -113dBm just like mine. They say they have passed this onto the relevant team and hopefully it will be fixed in an OTA and I should stick to the United Kingdom BTU firmware (the correct firmware for my region).

We will see if this gets resolved. They definitely know about the problem now and have seen it with their own eyes, so I'm hopeful.

Ok.. Thanks... I already read through that thread too... Been trying to figure out if it was just me or alot of people..... Seems like the 920f is getting more updates that us.... 920I......The latest is AOD3 right? Today I'm gonna flash a custom rom for 920f and see if there is any change....

*edit* just checked Samsung live update... AOE3 was just released for 920I for TTT I guess is a country called Trinidad and Tobago... But that is the firmware I've been using.... Hopefully this will help... Let Ya guys know

*edit #2*...ok guys just updated to AOE3.... Bars still show low but the signal status is working and it's showing that I have a better signal than with *#0011*... The - dbm and asu is now extremely close to my S5... So in conclusion the signal is strong it just doesn't show it in the bars like previous Galaxy's
[Sony Xperia M] SamiS7:
Hey Guys,

So my Xperia M (C1905) has a broken power button and whenever the battery dies, it's almost impossible to turn back on. I connect it to my laptop via a USB cable, it shows that it's charging but doesn't turn on. I sometimes have to wait 2 hours before it magically just boots on. Sometimes the battery level is full and it still won't turn on :mad:

Anyone have the same problem or can help?

Thanks a lot.
[Sony Xperia M] gamer649:
I had the same problem with mine (totally my fault like). If you've got fastboot and the fastboot drivers installed on your PC, connect your phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt, type "fastboot reboot" (without quotation marks), and it will turn on. You can do this after about 10-15 mins of it charging from the computer.
[Sony Xperia M] abhya:
Yeah plus install Quickboot ... will be handy when want to reboot your phone when not connected to computer..start it and select reboot.Not a clean solution though :silly: ..XperiaM users have a common problem of broken volume up/down/Power buttons..Broken power button is the worst case one would ever have :crying:
[Sony Xperia M] viekrk:
I was facing the same issue could not turn on the phone without power button. What I do is, open the back case use tester flat screwdriver and tap and hold it on the power button. It is a bit hard to explain, but there's positive and negative nodes around a circle thing, when you make a connection bw them with a conductor like small tester it works.

New update for Oneplus One CM11 to CM12S and it sucks.

I had my phone rooted before the update and now a root came out for CM12S and i wanted to root my phone again.

It can't even install any of the TWRP recovery files from 2.4.6.0+ and I even erased the old recovery and decided, "nope not rooting."

So I decided to hold the power button from fastboot mode to go on my phone again but now it's stuck.

When I hold the power button it just boots up to the 1+ symbol adn then goes to Cyanogen and it stays on that screen.
[XDA Assist] Fiava:
It can go into fastboot mode

Through cmd, I can put it into fastboot mode, nothing else. WIth the buttons, no matter which ones I hold together, (Vol Up+Power), (Vol Down+ Power) it will just go to powering on and getting stuck at the cyanogen splash screen.
