[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KlLLFRENZY:
Thanks a lot guys I now have my new recovery installed. It was actually very easy and I know I asked a lot of questions but I needed to leave nothing to chance. At least any other noobs like me with the same phone can be helped a lot by this thread. I just gotta do some reading on my dinner break and hopefully tonight I'm on my way to installing my cfw thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KlLLFRENZY:
Quick question, should I try to root the phone before dealing with installing my new ROM?

I get the impression it should already be rooted considering where I began with it but since the twrp manager app wouldn't work means that no root was detected.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Don't bother with TWRP Manager. It hasn't been working for a while now.

Installing a custom recovery does not grant root. A custom ROM however usually is pre-rooted, and if it isn't, SuperSU is available as a flashable zip from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu . Simply flash a ROM and enjoy.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KlLLFRENZY:
No I used Odin to install the recovery anyway, I tried twrp first as per the guide, I just brought it up as an example. That helps though at least now I know the order in which to do things,

Flash ROM (I think that means install dunno terminology lol)

Check for root

Rectify if needed

Thanks ever so much
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KlLLFRENZY:
0h my god that was nailbiting, obv i didnt know the rom would install the kernel too as it was a seperate link for the kernel in the same thread.

first i did a factory wipe

in twrp i qued rom and kernel .

rom intall started first and it recommended full wipe and advised rom zip to be on external sd card

it wasnt and i had to exit install

upon exiting the queued kernel automatically installed

phone wouldnt boot up aaaaaaarrrgh lolol

hunted high and low for an sd card put in laptop and downloaded rom .zip to it

put into phone and tried again only installing that one thing

then found in the later stages it installs the kernel anyway

it said it would reboot auto but it didnt so i bit my nails and turned it on

google swirly boot colours appeared and i smiled

took aaaaaaaaaaages but the install said it would

thank you soooooooooooo much you guys are the best.

i hope i have been as clear in my questions as you have in your answers as i was COMPLETELY new to this, so anybody in a similar position reading this is also sorted THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU
[Verizon LG G2] chrisc44890:
My phone won't stop thinking that it's connected to a wireless charger. I've narrowed it down to being a hardware issue by trying a different ROM and seeing that it still thinks it's charging in recovery mode.

Any way to fix this? I have tools for PC repair but I don't think that will help much with the much more small components of a phone.
[Verizon LG G2] neondunker:
I think that the wireless charging "circuit" its on the backplate of the VS980. Just remove it and it wont make contact with it. If still thinks that its charging, something is closing the circuit and you still have to remove the backplate to look at.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garbage30:
hello I tried to root the new lollipop update with cf auto root and now I have a soft brick and cannot find an answer. I flashed the stock firmware from wilcos but everytime I try it gives me a error sw rev check file : [aboot] fused 2 > binary 1. I have no idea how to fix the phone I just want to get it back to stock. please can anyone help im so stuck.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
Read this thread, it should help. You can not downgrade the firmware once you installed OD3, so now that you did, you're options are limited. If you just want stock OD3, then use Odin to install this one.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garbage30:
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are a life saver. My wife was going to kill me. thanks again I was in a panic!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youdoofus:
yup, Odin is a god of thunder when an "unfixable" soft brick bootlooping device is in your hand
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jy3ng4:
I'm using an app called Force Dock Rotation to make my lock/home screens appear in landscape orientation while docked. It worked fine in 4.4 but in 5.0 it looks like this:

Only the top two rows of the pattern lock appear. Anyone know of a way to get it to appear correctly?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jimwright:
Hey folks. I'm finding a lot of threads from 2 years ago and unfortunately they aren't much help with my device. I've inherited this phone, and my goal is to upgrade to CM12. Unfortunately I'm dealing with AT&T's locked bootloader and other issues.

I'm currently on Android 4.4.4, Baseband I337UCUFNJ4. I've managed to get root access using the Odin method of flashing NC1 then back to NJ4, root is working., but I've been unable to flash an updated Recovery. I've tried everything except for the Safestrap method, which last I read wouldn't work for installing Cyanogenmod. Using Odin, I've tried to flash CWM Recovery after converting the .img to a .tar.md5 (Odin failed to transfer this), I've tried using ROM Manager to install Recovery (claimed to work, but actually did nothing), then also used Flashify and Rashr to flash, which seemed to get further, but upon reboot the phone gave an error about software not authorized by AT&T.

I've done way too much googling this weekend and trying all sorts of things that haven't worked, from all sorts of threads from 2013 and 2014, does anyone have a reliable method that works if I'm already on 4.4.4, or am I still out of luck with this device? There is no SIM in the phone right now, but I may want to use it as a phone later if I can upgrade to CM12.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DankHeals:
You're pretty much stuck. Only ROMs you can flash are AT&T official stock ROMs for the S4, or ROMs that are specifically safestrap-compatible. No other recovery will work, either.

That being said, if you're interested in lollipop, there's a stock, deodexed lollipop ROM for our phone that is safestrap-compatible on here called Goldeneye v53 that I enjoy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dawinger:
I'm in the same situation as you, I ended up using safestrap with Pure Nexus http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-att/development/rom-google-edition-s4-t2837239

Closest I could get to a desirable phone without original Samsung FW. Good luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jimwright:
Hmmm. What I'm wondering at this point is how does the bootloader get onto the device originally? Can't a working bootloader from another model S4 be flashed in place of the AT&T one?

I would imagine that there must be some software that can be used to fully wipe the phone, repartition the memory, write a new bootloader, etc. If a phone were hard bricked, it would seem that there would be a way that Samsung or some carrier can use to get the phone working again.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedBullet:
Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this or not.... But I am experiencing two major problems with my phone:

1) It periodically just drops wifi. I have great signal strength and none of my other devices (and I have a lot) ever behave this way. And I have seen it happen on other wifi spots as well.

2) This one is even worse. I am not able to get more than about 9-10 hours on a charge. Not using the phone *at all*. When I checked what was using the battery power all I saw was normal google stuff, no app itself directly consuming

Mine is a brand new verizon phone.

anyone else experience these? Worth seeing if I can get verizon (or LG) to replace the phone?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tourbound129:
Factory reset and if that doesn't work, exchange for sure.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedBullet:
Thanks. Seems better after doing that.

I left it overnight for 12 hours, down only 14%
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icecold23:
I disabled all the Verizon apps, including DT Ignite. I have not activated the phone yet (waiting for root or Helium to work), and now the battery usage graph has almost flatlined when not in use.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedBullet:
Yea, I haven't touched any of the VZW apps. That's the first thing I will be looking for is a debloated ROM (no VZW stuff and a lot less LG stuff)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icecold23:
Just an update after disabling VZW apps, 22 hours, 17% battery drain. This is on a non activated phone, WIFI on, minimal use). Not a great metric, but much better than with them enabled.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedBullet:
Out of curiosity how did you "disable" verizon apps?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eric618:
I'm on AT&T, and I'm also having similar WiFi issues.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icecold23:
Application Manager. Scroll over to "ALL" tab. Click on the individual apps. It should have the option to Disable near the top. Those apps will be moved to the Disabled tab if you should ever want to enable them in the future.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
I always factory reset after leaving a store because their first priority is to get the phone into a usable state and they bypass the Google login to start syncing my information.

The first thing I install is Nova Launcher. To disable Apps, I just click and drag to the desktop for "system info" then uncheck "Show Notification", click "Force Stop", then "Disable".

I just clear out the crap out the App launcher. I haven't gone in through Settings > App Manager and disabled any services or background apps.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphar:
I've also had (and still have WiFi issues). Just got my phone replaced today from T-Mobile and my WiFi has intermittently cut out a couple times today already. Perhaps its something that will require a software update to fix.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedingcheetah:
What is "DT Ignite" anyway???
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icecold23:
If I'm understanding the articles, it is an app so carriers can install Bloatware after your purchase. Even after a factory reset. The good, the bloatware doesn't have to be installed and part of the factory ROM. The bad, everything else...
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tourbound129:
According to a post on Reddit, the small update on ATT was to fix 5ghz Wi-Fi issues. Hopefully all carriers push it.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eric618:
It didn't. Not for me, anyway.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tourbound129:
Did it fix anything? Lol
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eric618:
I noticed no changes to anything following the update. I have no idea what it did! Lol
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phillymade:
On VZW I do not have any issue with WiFi, I do however have not so great battery life. I did disable all the useless items I can. I get about 9-10 hours with 1-1.5 hours SOT. Guess it's OK, but would have liked to get more of what others are reporting (3+ hours SOT).

Coming from the G3 on 23C, I did notice that my battery time did drop a bit, so it's not far off of what I had, not going to return the device, just going to deal with it for now.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedBullet:
Yea, I'm in the same boat. Not sure exactly what to do. I can return it and get an S6 which I hear is faster and has much better battery life. Or I can stick with it and hope a patch fixes or that it gets unlocked and we can run something else...
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedBullet:
Oh and another thing, has anyone tried to recondition the battery?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mediumraresteak:
I've noticed that calling through Kakaotalk has been inconsistent at best. My G3 never had this issue and to face this with my G4 is a big disappointment. I actually thought my earpiece and LTE chip was busted cause I couldn't get through a conversation without some sort of hiccup. I own the Verizon Deep Blue unit. Battery life has been awful when gaming though but I don't know what other phones are getting so maybe I'm just reaching here.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phillymade:
I am tempted to do a factory reset and see what it does. Not sure if this will help, but I have nothing to loose at this point.

I have come to terms that LP is a battery drainer.

I'll do the reset tonight after work......fingers crossed....
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
My battery seems fine. Actually under normal usage I had a quite a bit left at the end of the day compared to my LG G2. I DID factory reset right after I left the Verizon Store since he blew through setup and initial account setup/sync.

I am still thinking it is missing screen taps on occasion. I was online late last night and the house was dead silent, so I could hear my fingers tapping away, yet it kept missing a letter here or there and not responding to navigation button presses. It is very subtle and far enough apart that it doesn't seem to be an issue. Again I don't think it is a hardware issue, but like the OS is pausing for a millisecond. Like a background app is sucking resources.

Overall I am happy with it so far. No major issues. I haven't tested GPS or extensive testing with WiFi. I guess a good test would be to do a constant ping on the phones IP address to see if there is any periods when it goes dark.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phillymade:
I noticed a touch response delay as well, most notably on tap to wake. It was a bit discerning . Installed this recommended app that others shared on this forum and it seems to be all cleared up.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedBullet:
Yea, I had one really bad day (down to low single digits after about 12 hours of no use). Did a factory reset, and so far seems ok. Doing a more realistic test today. I generally keep on charger at home anyway, so I think I can live with it. And I suspect it will only get better...
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maverick0984:
That app hasn't been updated in nearly 3 years...I wouldn't be installing that on anything new quite honestly. Might just be placebo?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Interesting. What settings work for you?

I would be interested in using this on my Nexus 7 2013 with the screen grounding issue to see if it can make it more sensitive to touch.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frigidazzi:
It's not just verizon. My h815 does this wifi connection issue as well.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phillymade:
I have it on Super optimized. I have no more issue with tap to wake or opening apps after setting it. Placebo perhaps, but it satisfied my need.

There are other "calibration" apps that are more current that may be of help.

Also, ATT and TMO got updates that may have fixed or patched this issue. VZW has not as of yet, could it be that it's being pushed out in the near future (near is used loosely)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bphillips35131@yahoo.com:
Hey guys and gals, I think my note 2 is bricked. I am on stock rom, dont know specific builds, probably whatever is the latest update. I was using the phone friday afternoon and all of a sudden it just shut off. I tried to get it to turn back on, but it would only go to the Samsung galaxy note 2 bootup screen, then do the sounds to boot up. Then it would reboot. I did a battery pull, and it will not even make the sounds now (still get the bootup logo) then shuts off. I have searched some on the forums and I can get it into download mode and i can get to the screen where i can reboot/factory reset/ update (i have the red triangle w/ black exclamation mark). I have to hold the buttons down first and then install the battery to do either though. I have played with roms some when i had a galaxy nexus, but am a little rusty on it. I have not tried to install any roms on this phone though. Anyone know what might have went wrong/what i need to do to fix? I did a factory reset to no avail. Also, like i said, i have done some flashing if thats what i have to do, but really good directions would be great. Thanks.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sneaksby:
Hi, this evening i was asked by my mother to take some pictures off her HTC one and put them on to her Mac computer. SO i connected the USB lead, HTC sync installed from the phone and i transferred the pictures across. I disconnected the phone firstly on the mac and then removed the lead.

Ten minutes later the phone had reset itself and was now at the bootloader menu.

The menu options do the following

Reboot: reboots back to fastboot

reboot bootloader: reboots back to fastboot

bootloader: opens next menu ...

Fastboot: returns to previous menu

recovery: vibrates, androids go to centre of screen for second then goes back to previous menu

factory reset: vibrates, androids go to centre of screen for second then goes back to previous menu

The info on the first menu is:

***LOCKED***

K2_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RL

The rom was whatever the stock one 02 put in for England. It has never been modded in anyway and is still on an 02 contract, this is a totally vanilla HTC one.

Please if anybody can help me with this i would be insanely grateful. :)

This is the One M7 forum, K2_UL is One SV, you should post in the correct forum here: http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-sv

Meanwhile you could try to erase cache using fastboot (fastboot erase cache) and reboot the phone manuualy using "fastboot reboot" command. Its not a good sign if the factory reset didn't worked....

I have the same problem, and I can't say if it was present on kitkat. If I use headphones I have no problem, so maybe it's a hardware problem with the call microphone

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swordstrength:
So I think I've found the best way to manage the heating/battery issues of the Snapdragon 810. I'm not sure if its my entire setup that's correcting all my issues or if its just the primary app.

My setup is Leedroid ROM with power saver on but only for display dimming and CPU managing. The important stuff: I am running the CPU Tuner app with a custom made profile running the On

demand governor at a 50/50 powersave bias (slider in app), and running only 4 cores out of 8. I believe this completely removes the high-power/performance cores from running. However, I do barely any gaming and performance for all other apps is very snappy and more than acceptable.

Just figured I'd share my thoughts and setup. My hands have yet to get uncomfortably warm like they usually do when doing multiple things in apps. Battery life is also MUCH better. If anything, you may use this setup temporarily until we get more kernels and developers working on fixing the issues with the snapdragon 810.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fernandezhjr:
I don't have any issues with the snapdragon 810. I am still all stock unrooted and average just over 5 hours SOT. I don't use powersaver at all, not even when the battery falls below 15%. If battery life is that bad for you that you have to go to those extremes, then you probably have issues beyond the CPU.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swordstrength:
I don't know how that's possible running stock, unless I have a bad unit or something. Then again I've tested some coworkers M9s, and theirs have issues the same as mine even though they're stock. I don't even have many apps installed, but my battery plummets just browsing the web or reddit, until I cripple the 810. Do you have any apps at all that help to preserve battery life? Or run exceptionally low screen brightness?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fernandezhjr:
No, I do not use any apps to improve battery. I am on AT&T and at home I use a microcell and WiFi, so I do not get much battery drain from lack of having a good signal. I do not use exceptionally low screen brightness, but since high brightness does hurt my eyes, I do keep it around 33% and only raise it higher as needed. Overall, in comparison to other devices I have used and have or have had in the household, while not the best, I do find the M9 to have good battery life. And another good thing is, there is this update coming that improves battery life. Here is a current screenshot. Not half way through the battery and I already have 9 1/2 hours of life and just over 2 1/2 hours of SOT.

View attachment 3353163
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
There's nothing wrong with your phone, the M9 hasn't got great battery life period, you can squeeze a lot out of it if you go to extreme lengths or if you don't hardly use your device, for example my last two phones which i just got rid of (Note 4 and an iPhone 6)

The Note 4 would last over 1 day comfortably as it was my main phone, the iPhone 6 however was simply a work phone, this bad boy lasted 4 days and 22 hours on a single charge, running IOS 8.1.3. I have a screen shot of it at home on my PC i'll upload later, the point i'm trying to make is, this is completely down to your Apps, your habits, your set up, rom you're using, mods installed etc.

All these combined make up the footprint of how long your battery lasts, no two people are the same, just as no two CPU's are the same, or for that matter the battery in your device, some may have a really good one, some might not, even your signal can have an adverse effect on the battery, especially if it's low and trying to get the signal out.

My advice for better battery life is to set up your phone the way you want it, start by cutting out the dead weight, remove and apps that start up at silly times (use autostarts for this) , check for wakelocks, reduce wireless activity, modify the CPU settings (like you have already) and then just use it as you would, anything else you can cut out,any other accounts that you really don't need, lose them, avoid task managers like the plague and remove apps like better battery stats once you've used them, use manual brightness, turn off ambient display, turn off hand gestures like double tap to wake

Beyond this there isn't much more you can do.
