[Galaxy S 4 General] skezza:
One of my S4's suffered the grey battery bug today, so the symptoms were:

Device would not switch on (Samsung logo appeared, but switched off within a second)

Device would not charge (grey battery with a circle, but no actual charging seemingly took place)

Device would switch on with a different battery.

I could not get the device to charge or switch on, but through a strange set of steps, I was able to make it charge and it eventually started working. These may work for you, or they may not, so just bear that in mind.

1. Plug phone into charger, leave on the grey battery for a few seconds.

2. Pull the cable and hold the power button.

3. When the Samsung logo appears, immediately plug the cable back in.

When I did this, the phone seemed to get stuck at the Samsung logo. So it did not boot, and it did not go off either. I left it for about 2 or 3 minutes.

4. Pull the cable and the battery after 2 or 3 minutes. Put the battery back in.

5. Plug the USB connector.

After doing this, my grey battery (which seemed completely unable to charge before) went to a green (almost entirely depleted) and slowly started to charge. I left it for half an hour before switching on the phone. Voila, it's now working and up to 58%.

I can't say what causes this issue, I've heard that it can be caused by defective USB charge boards, but I'm not convinced because unless the socket itself is damaged the board itself really shouldn't fail. It's possibly being caused by low powered chargers (like my USB cable which I used). I observed a similar issue on the N4 (red light of death), after using a similar low power charger.

Anyway, this might be useful, or might be useless, but if it saves you a few quid then it's worth it ;) :D

Hi guys, i was updating my phone by installing a new ROM (ViperOne 8.0.0) using TWRP.

After the installation finished the phone rebooted as usuale but this time it gets stuck in the boot loading screen, I've tried to re-install the ROM, but nothing happened, it still freeze on boot loading screen.

I can go into bootloader and i can go into recovery mode but i don't have any previous version of the ROM, i can't even upload a .zip file with an older version of the rom since my pc didn't recognize the phone, any suggestion on what to do to unbrick the phone?

usually if i connect the phone it will charge without problem

now i left the phone for 5 hours and not a single % charge is done

its only charge when i plug it in the wall charger
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
The HTC m9 charger does require a fair bit of whack and whilst a USB port should give it something, its really not enough juice to power it up as it should be.. No one will be able to charge up as they would if it was connected to its own charger..USB 3 should be a bit better but still not sufficient..

This is normal.

my last phone ( HTC 8X ) i used to connect to my PC and charge in the same time

also the nexus 4
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
The HTC m9 comes with a 1.5AMP charger, USB can deliver 500mah which is a third of the strength, now although it should give it some juice it's never going to be anywhere near as good, I would say try another laptop / PC, try different USB ports, USB 3 can deliver up to 900ma so you should see some results there.

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
?? no mate, I mean that USB sockets can deliver a higher amperage so it should charge faster than USB 1 / 2.

oh, i have that in my laptop

i used it , but it always display a message to use usb 3 cable to get high speed
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Ah I see, so in that case then it probably won't work. Shame really. I'd be interested to see how much power its actually delivering via a normal cable. Not sure if there's an app for that or not

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

As far as I know, root enabler apps are located in the system partition, and as you know, updating to .270 will wipe your system partition and install a new one. That means, you'll lose your root access, your Xposed System modules (if they are on data everything will be alright) and your recovery.

So, if you want to update with PC Companion you'll have to root again.

All the best,

Just use Kingroot method, and then switch to SuperSU ! there is loads of tutorials here ! then if you want to, install recovery. I used Nut's Dual Recovery and it works perfectly ! Then i just flashed 4k, timeshift video and Xposed again and downloaded my modules. it was really easy. just stupid to lose Root on a 20Mb update that was relased straight after Kingroot method was relased...

Just like the title said.

I'm using CM12 gallery app in my evercoss one-x (indonesian android one) since i don't like photos.

I got the flashable zip from Indonesian's community,direct link from xda (maybe).

at first,it just normal. But when i checked folder that located in SDcard,gallery showing kind of 'duplicate' of every photo in that folder.

The duplicate mostly black photo with 0-byte,and creating 2 of every photo. Ex: if folder contains 7 photos,after opening with gallery it becomes 21 photos,14 duplicate. Strangely,uf check the folder via file explorer,or i check with google photos,there's no duplicate.

[Sony Xperia M2] SharxX8:
Hey guys,

So I ve tried flashing CM 12.1 as well as 5.X AOSP mainly but also some 4.X versions and so far all of them gave me bootloops.

The steps that are necessary seem to vary depending on who you ask so i was a little confused with that, too.(BL is unlocked)

So what I did was :

1. Flash 18.0.C.1.13 FTF or 18.3.1.C.1.15 via EMMA or FTF as well

2. Update Bootloader via EMMA (tried not to do it for some version, too)

(Also rooted the stock rom after that couple times)

For CM 12.1

3. Flash CM recovery through fastboot with CMD

4.Install CM 12.1 and gapps through recovery. ( Did full wipes before and after and only after and before)

For AOSP

3. Flash boot (for one version also recovery), system and userdata (in this order) through fastboot with CMD.

(No wipes here.)

Always got bootloops after that (let them run for about 10 min):(

I may have tried other variations too but those are the ones i can think of. Im not exactly sure how new the device is (used phone) since I ve read that there seems to be an issue with some newer models with the GPIO keys ( no clue what that is :D ).

I would be happy if anyone could actually confirm that the steps i took were right or wrong and if there are any solutions to it.

I m pretty much a noob and dont have any logs or anything but I can read through Tutorials and provide them if it helps (just link me to it)

Ps.: I have looked through the different topics on here but there is lot of varying information plus a lot of stuff that I simply do not understand so I d be glad if anyone could clarify this for me.:fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia M2] TrickiePad:
Looks all good to me, so it is strange you have bootloops.

I'm very curious on how this topic will end: https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Gene...lashing-FXP-AOSP-5-1-D2303/m-p/995182#U995182

Also: can somebody explain on how to get a log when the device is in bootloop? At present my phone works (because of other D2303 model?) but when I had bootloops "adb logcat" was constantly waiting for device...

I'm aware the adb process on the phone gets started early and should connect with the PC, but that didn't work with me at the time.

regards
[Sony Xperia M2] SharxX8:
galaxyfreak was kind enough to help me a littlle while trying to flash AOSP and even tho it did work eventually it was very unstable, laggy, and the sensors didnt work since apparently that was the file that caused the bootloop in the first place.

So in short it didnt work and as he said

Pretty sad but I guess thats the best for now.
[Sony Xperia M2] SharxX8:
For me it just took a while, so i guess at some time during the bootloop it wont be recognized. However this was for AOSP which i flashed through fastboot.

I tried to do the same for CM which was flashed thorugh recovery and it wasnt recognized by adb either.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] injectx:
Hi guys,

So I was recently looking into the LG G4 and its new specs etc. and noticing the "game mode" switch. What it actually does is downscaling the screen to 1080p to optimize the game performance.

Since I own a G3 I thought why shouldn't this be possible on the G3? So I went building with Tasker and created an "app" which would set the resolution to 1080p when you press "ON" and back to default when you press "OFF" (as an extra I've included a task that force closes swiftkey because when going back to default resolution Swiftkey would f** up the keyboard layout).

It actually works pretty well. Except for this; when you press OFF, the resolution (and DPI) turns back to default but for some reason the navigation bar is thinner than default. When I use NOMone Resolution Changer and press "Restore defaults" it somehow turns everything back to default perfectly. So what do I have to include in my Tasker script to get the navbar going back to default as it should?

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
All due respect mate, if you're talking about emulation, even the ps2 is problematic and that's on a high end gaming rig, the problem is the complex processing it uses whilst not the most powerful processor in the world it is difficult to emulate, as for anything like the the ps3 or ps4, I'm afraid at the moment its not possible and if it were it would be utterly awful and that is on a high end gaming rig.

On a phone it really is impossible, high end games like battlefield 4 would have to be created with arm architecture in mind, and even if they did decide to do that, the phone would die quickly and the game would run like a dying dog.

Sorry mate, for now and the foreseeable future the best you can expect is psx, PSP, n64 and maybe ( and this is a big maybe) emulation for the GameCube and Wii, which has been done to a degree but again, runs like a dog.

The only games which are console like which you may be able to get to run are the ones which have been created for the nvidia shield, like portal and half life 2, hardly mind blowing graphics but a really big deal for mobile gaming, I'm not too sure on the nvidia shields processor or GPU but I do know its superior to the adreno in our m9's with that in mind, even if it is possible to get it to run, you have to expect issues.

The only option you have to play games on your phone is to grab a decent pad like the Moga pro and splash top to stream the game to your device. An nvidia graphics card for your pc is preferable for this and a rock solid internet connection for your phone, even then you should expect a fair bit of input lag on those games, this technique has been around for a few years now.

Sorry its not better news mate :( I'd love to play black ops 2 or even cod 2 on my phone, LAN parties in work when its quiet would be epic.. I think with games like call of duty 2 its quite possible as the hardware in our phones could probably handle most of the graphics but again it'd have to be created instead of ported.

Apparently doom 3 has been ported, that's quite cool.
