[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rlichtefeld:
SamMobile has all the Stock firmwares for all the Samsung phones. However, their downloads can be a little slow.

Luckily, ShinySide on this forum in the General Section has this thread with fast downloads:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/general/firmwares-official-mdl-mk2-nb4-t2816508

Flashing 4.4.4 will get you the most recent firmware - boot, recovery, modem and ROM. So, you'll need to flash a recovery and CM Rom after that if you want to go back to CM. However, with CM you lose WiFi Calling. You could root the Stock and remove any apps you don't want, or freeze them with TitaniumBackup. That way you get the best of both worlds - stock, but only running the apps you want.

YMMV.

First let me tell you that i've read the wiki carefully and i've tried the Camera2k5 fix and all that stuff, but nothing seems to fix this.

Since i've flashed my BA with WM2k5 ( i've tried several rom versions ), my camera stopped working.

When I open the Camera application, everything seems normal, but the image ,that should be the image being captured by the camera, is black.

Then, if i try to take a picture, the green dot turns red, and after like 20 seconds it gives me the following error: "Unable to save the captured image. 36001:500:10 Unable to get data from camera device."

Anyone has this problem? If so, any fix yet?

Seems nobody had similar problem. There are only 2 options for you:

1. Use search and google to find other people with similar problem

2. Go back to 2003 and see if camera is just not broken.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Edu115:
After one year, I didn't get the camera to work, so I guess i'll have to buy another one.

i am using dell venue 7 and i accidentally delete my os so i want to know is it possible to install windows on dell venue 7 tab?
[YU Yuphoria] faizzi:
what would you call a device with superb hardware and unstable OS ....

i call it PIECE OF ****, because its of no use. Even your hardware is useless when there is no software to use it.

Lets list the issues faced on this device...

1. HEATS UP :

NO MATTER IF YOU ARE PLAYING A GAME OR WATCHING A VIDEO OR ITS JUST KEPT IDLE WHILE CHARGING THE PHONE HEATS UP, IT GETS HOT EVEN WHEN YOU ARE DOING THE MOST BASIC FUNCTION OF A PHONE... YEA THATS CORRECT IT HEATS WHEN YOU ARE CALLING TOO....

2. STOPS RESPONDING

VARIOUS APPS STOPS RESPONDING:confused::confused:

3. NEED YOUR PHONE TO MAKE AN URGENT CALL ... YOU WONT GET IT

THE PHONE WONT WAKE UP TILL APPROXIMATELY 8-10 SECONDS WHEN YOU PRESS THE POWER BUTTON TO TURN THE SCREEN ON.

EVEN THE ALTERNATIVE I.E. DOUBLE TAP TO TO TURN ON DOES THE SAME THING.

4. DONT THINK YOU CAN ATTEND THE INCOMING CALLS EASILY

THE SCREEN WONT TURN ON AGAIN FOR THE FIRST 10-15 SECONDS

5. DONT RELY ON ADAPTIVE BRIGHTNESS

IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME TO RESPOND TO LIGHT... PLUS ZERO BRIGHTNESS IS AS GOOD AS SCREEN TURNED OFF WHICH IS NOT THE CASE IN OTHER MOBILES

ALL IN ALL YOU CANT USE THIS DEVICE AS YOUR PRIMARY PHONE BECAUSE OF THE ISSUES

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crib.uhler:
About every other night, I play audio off my phones speakerphone while laying in bed. Since last night, I noticed that the volume was noticeably increased without it being touched! If I were to guess, I'd say it does it once or twice every 2 to 10 minutes.

Also similar issue on Bluetooth - except the volume turns down completely to zero! Kind of getting annoying.. The phone has never been dropped and the case has remained on it for several months. Possible ANT app update or something? Please help

Thanks
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Accessories] Taipan14:
Hello All -

So I have the Xperia Z3+ Phone and I am looking to purchase one of the Z4 Tablets. My Xperia Z3+ Phone came with a very thin SONY Screen Protector already on the phone so the Spigen Protector I purchased is sitting on the shelf till the original one wears out or scratches badly.

My question is, can anyone who currently has the Xperia Z4 tablet confirm or deny if the Tablet also comes with the Original SONY Screen Protector film. I just wanted to avoid buying another Screen protector as I prefer the SONY version. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Accessories] HooLIMAN87:
No, it doesn't have any screen protector so you can buy one if you are buying tablet.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Accessories] Taipan14:
Thanks HooliMANN87 - Exactly what I needed to know. Thanks Much.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Accessories] ash99:
Mine in the UK came with one .....
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Accessories] HooLIMAN87:
Then i would buy tablet and see if it has screen protector.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Accessories] GarySan:
Bought mine from Yatango online didn't come with one. I just purchased seperately a liquid screen protector to prevent scratches because I found the tablet is so light when you add a piece of tempered glass onto it the extra weight becomes extremely noticeable
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Accessories] itwazntmoi:
Ah hah.. it appears it varies from region to region. Oh SONY, can they ever do anything uniform ? Not sure how the fail to grasp this basic concept. Thanks for the input all.

Z4 Tablet Screen Protector

All -

Just in case someone else needed it, I found the Screen Protector for the Z4 tablet and the best deal was on Expansys for $12. 99 plus shipping coming out to $16.98.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Accessories] Limeybastard:
I think they no longer sell stuff in the USA.

I put on a clear plastic screen saver that came with my igadgett case, so far so good.

Anyone tried a glass one?
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Accessories] GarySan:
I've tried a tempered glass screen protector when I first bought the Xperia Z4 tablet. I personally didn't like it because the tablet is so thin, adding an extra glass protector over it it really protrudes and made the tablet too bulky for my taste. I ended up using liquid screen protector instead, which to be frank I have no idea whether they work or not haha. Also I use the tablet mounted with a clamp onto a dual shock 4 to remote play my PS4 so the extra weight becomes noticeable. But that's just me though. It's a quality tablet, so it's definitely worth protecting over with a strong glass protector.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Accessories] Limeybastard:
The plastic one that came with my igadgett case seems to be alright, I wetted and cleaned the surface than used a squidgy to remova all air bubbles got it 99% dust and bubble free, seems the clarity is ok for something that came with the case for free . Gonna leave that on and not bother with a glass one thanks.:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Proud2banoob:
Hey guys! Long time. I have been using an S5 for a little bit, now. Needless to say, it's a little faster than my Exhibit, but I'm just getting around to rooting it. There was a skull and crossbones Andy splash screen someone posted on here a while ago. It looked awesome and I liked having something other than the T-Mobile ad on my phone, as it was booting up. Do you know if there is anything similar for the S5? If anyone wants to help me, I can even work on making one, myself. Just have no clue how to do it. I would imagine it's just changing one graphics file for another in the boot program. Thanks.
[HTC One Max] enettrek:
So I'm using my HTC One Max today and boom a update notification came through..

I came straight here to see information about it but have not seen anything.

Does anyone have a clue what they updated yet or is it to soon to tell? haha.

I really want to update to a new phone soon, but anything to make this phone's battery last longer is good news.
[HTC One Max] andrewjt19:
You may not know but this forum is for development not a Q&A. There are some threads about this already in the General forum. There will not be an official update for the US variant most likely. If it happeneds it will be because it's ported.

[HTC One Max] brettokok:
I have me and my brother on one max's with unlimited grandfathered. Stock 4.4.2, s-off, and rooted. Today we both get an ota pop up everytime we wake the phone up from sleeping. Annoying. Root explorer only shows the otapkg.zip to be 36mb so i doubt its a big update or anything. I have been working all day without any time to look at it and my bro has no clue what he is using, i just showed him how to turn his hotspot on. haha

Hopefully someone knows an easy way to get rid of this update. I sent a pm to someone else who had helped me with rooting stuff awhile ago when i first got the 2 max's used. (thanks for all your help before if you read this) He hasnt been using a max but recommended flashing stock recovery, flashing update, and redoing superuser and twrp. I cant tell my brother to do all that long distance... hes electronic disabled.... I'm hoping i can rename the update and get it to stop showing up and leave us alone. I think I had done something similar to this with the rezound ota annoyances.

Sorry to respond to this post while its in the wrong section... But I couldn't find anything related to this 07-31-2015 ota from verizon in the general. I do see alot of stuff about international lollipop dropping, but I think this is different.
[HTC One Max] enettrek:
I knew this was for the Dev section but this affects those of us who are using stock rooted rom's with earlier updates that they received from this very section. So pardon me when I thought this was the place to bring it up.. Thanks for telling me we'd not get the US Variant... Personally I don't want to upgrade to Lollipop. Much prefer the current one. I'm with the previous replier, I'd rather stop the annoyance of the update notification. I haven't downloaded it but it's getting annoying having to see the update every 4 hours.
[HTC One Max] enettrek:
I just did a multi search engine (including the site search) through out the HTC one max forum for the ota update "3.02.651.8" and got no threads matching my search. The latest official version to be discussed is the 3.02.651.5 which is what I'm on already. If you would be so kind as to point me in the directions of said thread(s) I'd be grateful as I do not see them anywhere.

Anyone have a flashable update of this?
[Verizon LG G3] Brad103:
Ever since lollipop came out my phone no longer gives me instant notifications. Often times I will receive them an hour after I should have. Generally, the notifications that are lagging are emails from gmail app and messages from the meetup app among others. After the 5.0 update came out I've read numerous posts online about this issue and that turning off wifi connection will make the notifications push through just fine. That worked for awhile, but with the recent update to 23c(i think) not even that works.

I rooted my phone in hopes to fine a kitkat rom to use, as it was lollipop that effectively ruined the use of my phone. Though I've also noticed that some of the lollipop roms (skydragon) claim to fix the issue by disabling IPv6, yet skydragon somehow disabled push notifications all together. So my question is, how do I fix this notification issue. Is there an app/script i can install to fix it? Or is there a good rom I can use that will work? Thanks.
[Verizon LG G3] DeanGibson:
This may not be strictly related to Lollipop. On May 29, I received the following eMail from Google:

I've been debating trying my hand at cooking up my own ROM sometime here soon since I've not been entirely happy with the precooked ones. You know what they say, if you want something done right you just gotta do it yourself. ;-)

Anyways, I was thinking that I would probably like to install more software than I can put in just the ROM itself. I know I can do this through the extended ROM but I don't have the first clue where to begin and there doesn't seem to be any sort of tutorials floating around on the subject (or, indeed, of cooking in general). So how DO you create an extended ROM and add programs through it?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mattk_r:
There's a great kitchen that i got from the forum. I can't upload it right now, but hopefully someone has some bandwidth to get a link. Search for Wizard extended rom kitchen. I believe Faria put it together. Check out the .pdf it contains for instructions.

Basically, you'll use a tool called Winimage to "inject" files into a file called ext-rom-base.nb. In the image is a text file that tells the installer what to run.

Each file must be selected as "read only" after injecting, or it won't work.

Injecting is basically dragging and dropping cabs or exe's into the file, nothing fancy. Note that each file type is called differently, so watch out for that one.

Also - the cabs cannot require operator intervention - or the installer will hang. Make sure they run and tell you that they're done.

Then when you run nb2nbf_wizard, you can check Ext_rom, browse to the file ext-rom-base.nb, image name is Extension_ROM, and address is 9B000000.

You can create the nb.nbk to include just the extended rom, just the OS, just the Splash screens, or any combination you want.

A bit intimidating at first - but actually very easy. I never messed up my phone once working with the extended rom on the Wizard. I broke my Hermes twice already, and still can't figure it out :(

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] nakedland:
T-Mobile replaced my 1 week old phone with this brand new beauty.

The store manager kind of set things up in the store (guess he thought quicker than giving to this old man who is slower than molasses.

So, reading tips and tricks this the S6, I found a part about setting up Google now for my personal assistant. I go to the app box and there are lots of Google stuff but nothing that says Google now. Help please.

Then, he set up lookout but I read people say delete that one and use Knox that comes with phone. Help with that please.

Finally, How do I set up my Samsung account on the phone. I can find tons that say "to do it" but unable to find explanations on how to.

Thank you all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] se1000:
Google now is part of the Google app (blue google icon). Once you open it, look for the hamburger and there are settings were you can turn on certain cards you want.

Lookout is garbage. I don't think you can remove it, I believe you can only disable it. Lookout is an antivirus/malware scanner, while Knox is a bit different. Knox is several different pieces of software that ensures your phone hasn't been tampered with software wise to ensure the device is a trusted platform. It's mainly a concern for enterprise users, if you don't use it, it should be transparent and can be left alone.

Go to one of the Samsung apps - the Galaxy Apps one is probably your best bet, and just create an account there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] nakedland:
Thank you very much. Should we install any type of antivirus/malware protection?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] se1000:
I don't think it's necessary unless you're looking to install apps from third party sites. If you stick to downloading from the google play store, you can skip the virus/malware scanners IMO.
