[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Kanon25:
I have a Galaxy Alpha with a broken screen from a drop. The device seems to be able to boot up, but screen is black so I cant even see anything. Samsung is asking me for 2/3 of what I paid for it, in order to replace the broken screen. Which is a non-starter.

The phone is really only of use to me as a "home" for the Gear app for syncing my Samsung Gear S watch. Unfortunately I had the phone offline and sync was off, at the time I dropped it. I'd rather not buy another phone just as a home for the watch and obviously, I dont want pay for a new screen when the cost is almost price of buying the phone.

Is there anyway for me to turn on the sync remotely or via a host PC? Just so I can turn the sync on and keep being able to use the email on my smartwatch. I have tried the find my phone on Google dashboard but my only option there is to wipe the device or make a call to it, but I cant control any of the settings otherwise.

Any ideas helpful...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] rafanovaes:
Hello everyone,

First of all, my name's Rafael, and I own a XT1225 Moto Maxx BR.

I've got a problem with it.

After trying to reset it to factory settings, it got into bootloader infinite loop.

I'm not able to enter in the system, to enable oem unlock, so it is currently locked.

The thing is I'm trying to repair it by flashing the stock rom Brazil retail 5.0.2, I'm able to flash almost all of it, except the one called system.img_sparsechunk.7, I get "invalid signed image" error.

Is there a way to solve this problem? Or I'll end with a brick in my hands?

I don´t know if you guys can help me, or what other informations you might need to help me.

So if you need anything please ask, and I'll be happy to get it for you.

Thanks for you help!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Semseddin:
Hello rafael,

Did you try flashing the firmware with rsd lite 6.2.4 ? I used to get sparsechunk error with cmd commands but rsd lite flashed fine for me.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macmovr:
I am rooted, and with Sprint. I am running moar 6.2 everything has been great until recently. I can browse hotspot no problem, but when I start netflix or amazon it will run for 20 minutes or so then throttle down to nothing.I restart hotspot and it lasts only 2 minutes or so and stops again.

I thought Sprint didn't and couldn't throttle anymore? anyway this is all new, never had this issue before until now. I tried reloading moar to no avail. I am a roadwarrior and watch allot of movies on the road and this is really pissing me off. don't know what to do. Anyone else having this issue? Not sur eif it's Sprint, my phone or my computer, but something is screwing up.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhosyn18:
So I made the mistake of purchasing a Galaxy Tab A (SM-T550) from someone on craigslist. It turns out it's locked in Retail Mode. I've tried all the 5444 passwords and such to unlock it with no luck. I downloaded Odin and flashed it with the appropriate firmware...and no factory reset doesn't work (it's locked by the MDM)....What can I do? Is there any possible way to remove the retail mode? Please help, I'm somewhat technical so I'll try anything.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JPdelaGhetto:
Same model, same problem.

Did you ever manage to figure this out? I got the exact same thing from clearance at Sears. Every password I've found does not work. Loading a stock firmware with Odin ends up doing nothing as well. I'm at a loss of ideas now.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] PrsnlCrcl:
Cell standby is continuously one of my top two battery drain items. I did a search and found a recommendation of booting into recovery, wiping cache, rebooting, and ensuring that advanced calling was turned on. I went through those steps and while it may have helped a little, it still seems to be using much more battery than it should be. Anyone else battling this on a Verizon version? If so, any other items I can try to fix the problem? Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] faded03cobra:
I have this on my s6, but not on the note 5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] PrsnlCrcl:
I just can't seem to find what is causing it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] GuestK00143:
I get it too but it doesn't seem to drain my battery much. I'm still getting 6 hours of SOT. I haven't used my phone all that much the last few days but I'm at four days without a charge and 29% left. I tried clearing cache three times but cell standby remains on top. It would be nice to get rid of but it's not killing me.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] le0.br4zuc4:
I have this issue when I have WiFi on, with WiFi off just have no issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] cnmsales:
If you are like me then Cellular is still going even when on WIFI. If you notice, the 3g/4g icon is activated and WHITE when using data. Otherwise it is grey. From what I understand when on WIFI this should always be grey. I should also mention I do not have Advanced calling turned on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] SwordOfWar:
Keep in mind results vary depending on where you use the phone. Do you have a weak cell signal? When the signal is weaker, the phone compensates by using more power to boost it as much as possible. I haven't noticed the problem but I'm usually full or one bar from full signal at my home.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] ljwnow:
Mine drains more than 2% during standby, which is definitely not normal
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] ztahoez:
Fix for cell standby bug is to go to Settings > Wi-Fi > more > advanced then make it look like this.

This is for the people that are having issues with the battery draining while on wifi only.

Setup like image below and it should fix your issues.

Battery drain will always vary my mileage, what firmware version are you on, what apps you have open , are you on LTE, 3G, wifi or no wifi and how many apps you have going, running in the backgroud. etc etc etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] monkeyhandler:
my is exactly like that, cell standby is still crazy high
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Ryano89:
No idea why this worked but switching data from global to LTE /CDMA only seems to have fixed my cell standby draining while on WiFi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MattMJB0188:
I bought my Note 5 on VZW yesterday, after coming from the note 5 on AT&T. My issue seems to be unusual high Android OS draining my battery. Maybe new phones just need a day or two to settle? I'm about to clear cache for apps by rebooting into recovery. I have done the following:

-Disable VZW/Samsung Bloat (Package Disabler Pro)

-Disable S Finder (Package Disabler Pro)

-Turn off motion Gestures

-Turn off S voice

-Turn off or decrease vibrations

-Turn off Google Location History

-Turn off Android Device manager

-Disable Unnecessary Sync Service

-Turn off S pen Alerts, pen detection, and S pen sound and vibration (will still work exactly the same)

-Turn off 'Always allow scanning' under advanced wifi settings (Allows apps to serach for Wifi even when wifi is off)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] jeffdanger:
I have seen location history posted as a possible battery drain when not using phone. Check to see it's status. Turn off and try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] AnaimaG:
This helped. Just because Location isn't used, does not mean Location History is disabled. Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gage_Hero:
Okay so I have the bootloader unlocked, rooted, twrp and running ex kernel. I had system update turned off in disable services but then the phone wasn't going into deep sleep was always running at 300 mhz. So to fix that, I turned system update back on ... great I get deep sleep back but now they released the update for stage fright and I get a message that it is downloaded and ready to install.... I tried the install even though I knew it would fail... it goes to twrp recovery. So how do I keep the system from trying to update? I know I could in theory flash the stock recovery let it update and flash back to twrp... maybe.. but I am hoping there is another route since I plan on flashing the M factory files when they come available...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
or you can flash part of the factory.img, just system.img via fastboot, update and keep your data and be over it in 10-15 seconds.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gage_Hero:
Thanks simms..... so just the system.img from the version I am currently running? Do I retain root, twrp and the same kernel or the kernel goes back to stock which I am guessing...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prdog1:
System.img from version you want to update to. Will lose root and anything else you added as system files. Just reflash the SU zip in TWRP to get root back.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
The easiest way to accomplish this is:

After you have fastboot flashed the system.img, take your hands off your PC keyboard and pick up your N6. Use the volume button to navigate to the "Recovery" option (in phones bootloader) and select it with the volume button. TWRP will boot. Then flash the SuperSU.zip and reboot system. Done.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gage_Hero:
Worked perfectly, system updated, regained root and no loss of data .... one happy camper.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gage_Hero:
Okay so after a couple of days the update shows back up now.... I flashed the system img as suggested, did the update, rebooted, added root back never lost data but the goofy notification for the same update showed back up yesterday night.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Didgeridoohan:
Which factory image did you use? If you didn't use the latest 5.1.1 (stagefright patches), you'll still get an OTA notification.

And on a side note: what version did you update from? If you didn't update from 5.1.1 to 5.1.1 (sounds silly right), you might not have the latest radio, bootloader and so on.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
Yup. Need to be up to date, with the latest. Currently LMY48I for most of us. LYZ29J for TMO, and LVY48E for Fi.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gage_Hero:
Ok so what I did was I was on LMY47Z and just fastboot flashed the same file..... I am guessing that is not the way to do it... all files are from the same version bootloader, radio etc....
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
If you fastboot flashed the system.img for LMY48I, that should have been sufficient. What carrier are you on?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gage_Hero:
Sorry for the confusion, I flashed the LMY47Z file over top of the LMY47Z I didn't change versions at all which I think is where I went wrong.... I am on Telus in Canada. I thought I only needed to get to an unrooted system version.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
Aahh. Got it. Well, if you want the notifications to go away, you need to fastboot flash the latest system.img. Each time a new one comes out. For you, that would be LMY48I for now. And don't worry, you won't loose anything in the process.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alryder:
If you flash the file from the same version you are not going to have the update so you will continue to be notified. To stop the notification you need to use the 5.1.1 (LMY48I) or 5.1.1 (For T-Mobile ONLY) (LYZ28J) or 5.1.1 (For Project Fi ONLY) (LVY48E). These are the images that have the StageFright patch included. These images can be found at https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#shamu
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gage_Hero:
I flashed the system.img and radio.img from LMY48I all appear to be good now. Thanks for your help :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
Flashing system.img LMY48i will update LMY47Z . The result is the same as unrooting, back to stock and install the OTA and root again.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prdog1:
If fastboot flash the LMY48i there is no longer the option or need to OTA. :rolleyes::cool:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
Yes that is correct. My post is unclear. I did the update twice. Flashed system.img and because the OTA was only 24 Mb I flashed LMY47Z again and updated through OTA.

The results were the same. Data was kept, but not the settings. Build.prop was overwritten.

DPI 560 again, my icons replaced by google default and Black Google Now launcher replaced by the ugly white one.

It is restored now, but need some hassle.

I've seen several posts for updating with data untouched. But settings are always touched.

Flashing M preview is more worse, because even the internal storage is wiped. So copy the nandroid backup to the PC first.

Sorry for the 'encrypted' previous post.

I hope this post is more usefull.

Hi, first sorry for my bad english. As you can read from the title my Alcatel One Touch Star is hard bricked.That happened when i was uploading mp3s from the PC to the phone and I just took the usb out from the pc.Then the phone started reacts very strange so i decided to restart it but it turned off by different way and didn't turn on again. I'm not coming straight up there. I have tried many things from the google and other threads here but my phone don't show any sign of life. I tried all methods of clicking buttons for going into recovery/download mode( i don't know how it is called exactly ) but nothing works. I tried pluging it into PC but it doesn't show up. That is why i think is hard bricked.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RuffBuster:
There is only one compatible stock ROM which will allow you to go back to 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. I'd have to some searching again to find it, but it's a Brazilian ROM which I found on S4MiniArchive web site on one of their guides. If the link is dead on there try Google the file name for links.

I do remember when I first installed this ROM I had to wipe data, cache and dalvik again after installation because it would boot loop otherwise.

Don't really know about the unlocking procedure. But maybe this will help?

Would definitely do NANDROID BACKUP just in case.

Maybe it would be easier and safer to just buy an unlock code off eBay if you can?
