[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JMShowell:
thank you so much. I was getting rather aggravated that Verizon hid call blocking. Had it on my note 3 and just got a g4 today and there was no call block list. Glad its still there, even if it is hidden.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phineous:
Verizon charges for call blocking, of course they hid it.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r4Rok:
Other ways to see rejected calls is, simply go to call logs, and you will see a "red crossed" circle down the numbers call rejected for.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fachtal:
Hello everybody,

- On monday i ran into a strange problem with my N910F. At first it was just not charging whatsoever.

- after the phone ran out of power, i attempted to charge it which gave me a brick with a black screen, vibrating short every two seconds

- Fine by me i thought, went and got a replacement battery (after checking simple stuff like the physical state of the battery (normal) and killing the batterystats (which i heard both yay and nay about so i decided to give it a try).

- Replacement battery charged overnight on the USB Port of my computer (2.0, for the completionists) went smooth (didn't turn it on, just had this bubble animation of charging).

- Turned it on this morning (booting apparently took 3% off my battery) and all well so far.

- finally in my chair at work i plugged it into my power cable (genuine Samsung FastCharging adapter that came with the phone itself) and nothing happened

- tried another adapter (some cheapo 1A adapter) which started charging around 10secs after connecting but decided to stop charging after a couple of minutes

- some shaking and gentle knocking brought back the charging symbol for some seconds, seemed like some loose contact or a broken cable so i felt fancy and plugged the very same cable (the one originally shipped with the phone) to my laptop. started charging instantly and no shaking or knocking stopped this (so no loose contact or broken cable at all)

This is the story until now, put together as complete and organized as possible. For now i'm stuck to charge my phone on the laptop or computer which seems to work. In this progress above i tested around 7 chargers, 3 laptops, 2 computers, 10 cables and 3 screens with both batteries, although the workaround i have now is only tested with the genuine cable as i was just done with testing for the night.

Now for my questions (apart from a touch with the magical fix-everything tool):

- What i see as possible causes based on my very shallow knowledge are either the microUSB port on the phone or the power distribution unit. Anyone has an idea what to check?

- As i have no idea how deep the OS goes, could it be a software issue by any chance?

Even though the device is only ~9 months old, I don't like the idea of going through Samsung for this one as i tripped KNOX already.

Hope there's still hope for me :)

Cheers,

Fachtal
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fachtal:
sooooooo, does nobody have an idea lying around somewhere?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Battlehero:
You seemed to have tried using the cheap charger which allowed you to charge after shaking it a bit, have you tried purchasing a new genuine charger?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geevh:
Tripping Knox does not necessarily mean that you've lost warranty.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fachtal:
I tried around 7 adapters (from cheap ones to genuine galaxy S3, Note2, and Note4), around 10 different cables (again, from cheap ones to genuine samsung cables), 3 Laptops (again with all cables), 2 computers (all cables) abd one of those mobile charging battery things.

The only thing that works is either the genuine cable on my computer or the same cables on my screen at work.

[MENTION=2007430]geevh[/MENTION] that's news to me. As far as i heard is tripping know equal to losing warranty.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Battlehero:
Have you tried to flash stock firmware, in case it's the kernel?

KNOX warranty shouldn't void your warrant in the EU as I have gotten two knox tripped devices repaired from Samsung before.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fachtal:
I just flashed the official ROM using Odin. Had some problems getting the phone connected while in DL mode (didn't work at all while in normal android mode).

This seemed to be a dirty flash (already was on stock Rom, just put CWM on, rooted the phone and replaced the kernel to have SELinux permissive for Viper4Droid) as it didn't go through the setup process and was like before.

Anyway, charging still doesn't work. Is there anything else I can test? I'm nearly at the point where I migrate back to my old SGS3 and have the N910F sent to the carrier (well, in the end it will go to Samsung) to get it fixed.

Thanks about the whole Knox false knowledge.

Cheers, Fachtal
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Battlehero:
I would just give the device in for repairs but make sure to flash a full stock rom and factory reset before giving the phone, since you have already tried everything else.

Good luck :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fachtal:
Well, flashing stock ROM seems to be slightly less relaxing than I thought. It feels like I have to connect the phone to the pc, put it on the table in a very specific position/way and then hope that it doesn't disconnect halfway through flashing...

This has become quite an adventure so far and I hope I'll get this done so i can get rid of this very expensive paperweight :)

Thanks for all the help so far, I guess I'll add the explanation from my carrier/Samsung as soon as I (hopefully) get my device back.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquirtingCherry:
PMIC or Charging IC is probably broken on the mainboard, i hear more N4's have this problem.

Best is to send it for warranty or let the components be replaced by a "good" repair shop.

Most service centers don't check knox status so i would go for that, if all fails take it for repairs if the costs are not too high.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fachtal:
Hi guys, back for a rather unexpected "solution" :confused:

When i finally freed up some time to actually get to the carrier shop to get my phone fixed, I was in for a rather embarrasing experience.

The lady in the shop pulled a charging cable and an adapter out of a box, plugged my phone in and it suddenly charged as if nothing ever happened. Now, some time later, it still works perfectly fine, as if there never were problems...

I have absolutely no idea on what happened. Before going to the shop i obviously flashed the stock rom yet again (with the usual wipe user data/cache/dalvik procedure).

Now, on what i had when the problems started: stock BOC5 ROM, touch CWM, rooted and with a custom kernel for SEAndroid permissive (emotion something i believe the kernel was called). Now during my rather extensive troubleshooting I actually flashed the stock ROM at least once and the issue persisted, which is why i just stood there, staring on my charging phone, my jaw somewhere on its way to the ground, unable to form any proper words :silly:

So basically, does someone have a possible explanation to clear this up? If not, I'll consider this thread solved i guess^^

In the meantime, I downgraded to Stock 4.4.4 with CWM, root and xposed (which i really missed on Lolli) and I'd say I'm happy with this :victory:

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ludoke:
It's sound strange but a couple of years ago i read somewhere,forgotten where and about the specific device. The thing was that phone wasn't charging eather ,and now it comes.....the solution was turnig around the charger in te power socket. :o
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fachtal:
this indeed sounds strange. And honestly, i didn't pay attention on the orientation of the power adapter (although my stock samsung one is always in the same orientation because the cable goes out on the side (which means it worked in the same direction as it didn't before).

The only even remotely considerable approach would be that the custom kernel along with this synapse app somehow screwed with the power intake and i forgot to wipe everything when i first flashed stock over it, meaning that synapse still had its fingers in the system screwing around with that.

But then again, as I seem to be the only one with this problem and this custom kernel had more than just a few users I don't think this is the way it went (I don't even use an unusual collection of root Apps which could cause some sort of malfunctioning combination of effects).

I had a few evenings just thinking about this and draw some simple mindmaps/schematics to make some sort of a sense...

Game rules

The game needs two players to play it. Each player owns one half of the screen.

Among the 6 colors, a color is picked by each player. The 4 other colors are neutral.

Each player starts with 10000 points.

The winner is the first to drop the other's points to 0.

Each player has a gauge which indicates his color and the amount of his remaining points. The gauge is located to the right of its owner.

The match starts with displaying a neutral color.

If a player touches a neutral color, he loses 1000 points.

After 1 second of displaying a neutral color, another neutral color or a player color will be displayed.

As long as a player color is displayed, its owner loses 1 point each 1 millisecond.

A player color cannot be changed except when it gets touched by one of the players. A neutral color is displayed then.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] meissen:
Hi all,

My Galaxy S5 has been a real bear lately. At least once every single day, the phone completely locks up. Usually it's with the screen on, but other times has been while the screen is off and I can't get it to turn on. The weird part is that if there's an animation on the screen (like the battery charging animation), the animation still plays but everything else is just stuck. The only way to fix it is to battery pull or hold down the volume down + home + power buttons and force it to reboot.

This happening every day, at least once if not more. I've flashed different ROMs hoping that it was just a ROM that was the issue, but it doesn't fix it. When I flash the ROMs, I make sure to wipe everything except the SD card so it's a very clean install, but alas no bueno.

I'm about at my wits end and ready to go to the AT&T store today to turn in my phone and get a Nexus 6 or Galaxy S6, but thought maybe someone here may have ran into the same issue and was able to resolve it.

any help appreciated - thanks!

Hi Elephoner,

I have a Problem,when I turn on the display stands up in the notification bar "wrong IMEI"

Yesterday that was not.Where the problem lies?

The phone is operating normally,Calls,Text and Data.

Is really strange.
[Elephone P8000] Matthias Neubacher:
You can solve this with "MTK Engineering Mode" from playstore.

You open the app and go to: MTK Settings, Connectivity, CDS Information, Radio Information, Phone 1.

Here you have at the top "AT+". here you complete to >>AT+EGMR=1,7,"123456789012345"<<, of course with your imei, which ist standing on the akku-cover.

Then, very important: You have to put in a space after "AT+", so it looks like >>AT+ EGMR=1,7,"123456789012345"<<

Click "SEND AT COMMAND". Thats it.

For the second imei do the same with >>AT+ EGMR=1,10,"123456789012345"<<
[Elephone P8000] letschky:

[Elephone P8000] ko3st:
You do not need much to restore your IMEI numbers

Original therad: http://xdaforums.com/elephone-p8000/help/wrong-imei-t3187059

You can solve this quite easily, without even internet and you do NOT need to search for the the IMEI numbers, which by the way you can find on the side of the box in which the Elephone P8000 was shipped).

This is the trick: you need to be in engineering mode.

If you do have internet, the fastes wasy is probably getting the so called "MTK Engineering Mode" app the from playstore...

OR... you can get into the Engineering mode of the Elephone P8000, by simply typing the next sequence in the phone dialer:

*#*#3646633#*#*

Anyway, make sure that MTK Settings is running on your Elephone P8000.

- go to: MTK Settings, Connectivity, CDS Information, Radio Information, Phone 1.

Here you have at the top "AT+". here you complete to >>AT+EGMR=1,7,"123456789012345"<<, of course with your imei, which is always written on the back on the back ofg the Elephone P8000 battery!

Then, very important: You have to put in a space after "AT+", so it looks like >>AT+ EGMR=1,7,"123456789012345"<<

Click "SEND AT COMMAND". Thats it.

For the second imei do the same with >>AT+ EGMR=1,10,"123456789012345"<<

PLEASE do not forget to enter the space after "AT+", otherwise it will not work.

I just received the Stagefright update patch this morning. The notification mentioned performance and stability improvements along with the Stagefright patch. For those of you wanting to dig through it and try to port it to a flashable zip for rooted users, here it is.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0G3PnBHJjXmdno0cjhod3NNOTA/view?usp=sharing

I am currently running stock, unrooted but with TWRP installed. I had to extract the recovery from the zip file and flash via fastboot as the patch wouldn't flash with TWRP. It took a while to boot due to rewriting the cache, but it's finally up and running. I don't see real noticeable differences, either in look or performance. As long as the patch works, guess I'm OK.

[Desire 816 General] Alanman13:
I looked in the update, and it appears to be a bunch of patches. I have two ideas for how to make it work:

1 - Figure out how it checks the recovery version and chop that part out.

2 - make a copy of /system on my sdcard, change every instance of /system to /[sdcard-path]/system in binary-script, run script, then repack that as an update.

Sound about right, anyone? I'm tempted to try this out.
[Desire 816 General] jayblaze406:
The RUU.exe from HTC.com for a5_chl now includes this patch. So if people don't mind wiping their phone running the .exe and going completely back to stock, the option's there. My laptop still says, "romtool.exe has stopped working." So I'm screwed either way, an OTA or RUU. :(

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebred99:
Hi everybody,

I'm new here and I'm not such a big export, so please don't get too mad with me for maybe being stupid.

I newly acquired a Fire TV Box. I first I was a bit annoyed that USB mount wasn't possible on stock, but then I heard that the newest update fixes that. So I updated to 51.1.6.2

Well, USB mount works now but only for FAT32 which is okay but not very convenient. So I started to look for root possibility and found out that on my version (and probably even on original FW) root is only possible by accessing eMMC through a hardware mod. While I might manage to solder that stuff I would prefer a software solution.

So today I read about the new-ish Certifi-Gate exploit and how an app on Play Store managed to do root funcunality on stock rom:

h***://***.zdnet.com/article/certifi-gate-is-alive-well-and-hiding-in-android-devices/

This article mentions that this is only possible on Android 5 API. Is that true? I didn't read about that in any other article.

Maybe it's possible to create an app along the lines of Recordable Activator that just installs the su binary and grants root access?

Maybe this in only possible on Fire OS 5 Dev Preview? But maybe it's possible to get root there and then downgrade to the more stable pre-rooted 51.1.6.2 Fire OS 3?

As you can see I have a lot of questions. Maybe somebody can enlighten me or even help setting this up.
