[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] longersrc:
Hi,

I'm in possesion of a brand new Galaxy S4mini since about 3 weeks. The 2 first weeks everythin worked fine but then i observed that my phone is losing signal. I figured out that this happens when the phone try to switch to LTE signal. After that i have reset my phone to factory settings and configured the phone from the begining. I installed all the apps i always install and also had installed on my previous Galaxy S3 mini. LTE is working fine but i have another problem now.

I'm unable to remove any application. When i press on uninstall it is all the time "uninstalling" but nothing happens, the progres bar is just floating and floating. And cannot go back, the onlu option i have is go to HOME via the home button but the app is still installed. Throught Google Play i'm also unable to uninstall the app, same case, all the time the message "uninstalling". The applications have no Admin rights on the phone. I tried a factory reset many times and also wiped the phone. I also observed that my phone is rebooting sometimes by his own.

Edit: i am also unable to install any new app from the Play store. Same think like uninstalling. I click on Install and the progress bar is floating but nothing happens.

The phone is not rooted with stock Android 4.4.2

Have you any idea what can cause this issue and how to solve this? Could this be caused by an apllication installed on the device or could this be a software issue of Android?

If i have a valid warranty is this kind of issue clasifying for warrant?

Sorry for my english, i am from Poland.

Cheers
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RuffBuster:
If you've tried wiping the phone and its still not uninstalling apps could be corrupt memory which is definitely covered by your warranty.

Some weird issues there. Also if it's rebooting by itself sounds like something is not right.

A 3 week old phone shouldn't do this. What Android version are you running?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] longersrc:
Hi,

Thanks for your quick response. I have Android 4.4.2

Kernel 3.4.0-3173303

So yeah....i think i go on monday to an autorized Samsung service point and tell them whats happening and i hope this case will be clasified as warranty.

Maybe till then anyone else have other ideas what i can do i that case?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RuffBuster:
All I can recommend is flashing the latest stock ROM for your device model and country code twice over using latest Odin. Maybe that will help. Else I think you've done everything you can. Your not using some weird app that could be messing with things?

Stand your ground with Samsung as every company I've had problems with has tried to blame me when clearly the device was faulty. But I always got what I wanted just stay strong and don't give up.

Best of luck.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] longersrc:
Thx buddy, i have given the S4 mini a last chance. I switched back to my old S3 mini and wiped the S4mini on more time. I haven't installed any app so i will observe what happened. If nothing then i know that the issue is caused by an app. I will install my apps one by one, day by day and look whats happen.

Thank you, i will answer to this post hence i know whats going on.

Cheers

I just unpacked my opo2 and See a protector attached to the screen. It looks better than a standard protector for transportation purposes.

So is this normal? Is it glass maybe?

Can anyone enlighten me ? ?

Plesse ignore. Found answer in noob thread. Sorry....:rolleyes:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [bman123]:
I constantly see my phone go from 2 bars to no bars and back to 2 bars inside my house. I had a S5 and the signal was always between -99 to -112 with 2 bars and great battery life. On the nexus the signal will be around the same then out of no where go to -118 to -122 with no bars.

I look into the battery stats and I'm getting a good chunk of time without signal, like 16%.

I really like this phone and want to keep it but if I can't get good signal in the house like I did with my S5 on the same carrier (page plus) I'm gonna have to take it back and get the moto x pure.

Phone is stock, running 5.1.1, build # is LMY48I, baseband is MDM9625_104446.01.02.101RR

Any help would be appreciated, I'm getting way less battery life then I got on my S5
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
Same here in the Netherlands. And not only with the N6. Also other smartphone have bad signal in my house.

I switch the signal type from 3G or 4G to GSM (2G) and than the signal in the house is good.

Of course data is slow, but in the house the N6 is connected to wifi internet,
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [bman123]:
I do the same thing thru the 4g switcher app and change it from LTE to CDMA and the signal improves but it still goes in and out. I didn't have this problem with the S5 I used before and it's killing my battery life.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomerbubba:
Who is your carrier?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [bman123]:
Page plus, pre paid Verizon mvno

Its just weird because I never had signal issues in the house on the same carrier on my galaxy S5.
[XDA Assist] Advythashok:
Hello guys,i have an iball slide 3g 7334i tablet running on an mtk6577 processor.I recently flashed cwm using mtk tools cwm automaker and made a backup using cwm.

Then when i "accidently" uninstalled my gallery app i tried to restore using cwm and it got stuck in the middle.And then as you can probably guessed it was bricked.And i tried the most obvious thing that is flashing a new firmware using sp tools but whatever i do i cant seem to flash the userdata.img i get the error-s_ft_download_fail (4008) error.

Does anyone have any idea how to solve it.I will upload the log file if anyone needs it.

Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
UPD: same fix for Xperia L (C2105)

Some phones (I mean only Xperia M of course) for unknown reason can't enter to Flashmode (Vol Down + USB)

This mode obliviously required to flash stock ROM via Flashtool / PC Companion / SEUS

When try to enter it phone just won't connect. But phone itself works fine (can boot).

Yeah, there is stock CWM-backups, but anyway broken mode is not good.

I did some research with user that had this problem and found cause.

Somehow 4th partition (s1sbl2) contain wrong data – it mismatch with OK phone.

Seems there stored loader for dealing with flashing.

After restoring good partition dump Flashmode works!

This helped 2 people, so I want to share this widely.

Do it on your own risk.

If you have custom recovery (CWM / TWRP)

1. Download attached ZIP

2. Copy it somewhere on phone

3. Flash it via recovery like any other ZIP

If you have only root

0. Not rooted? Use Towelroot for 4.3

1. Download attached file 1.img

2. Copy it into root of internal storage

3. Install app Terminal Emulator

4. Launch it and enter su

5. Allow root access

6. Carefully enter this (at the end not number 12, there small L and 2):

dd if=/sdcard/1.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/s1sbl2
[Sony Xperia M] nikko3214123:
i have this promblem where the green only blink once how can i fix it cause im already stucked at sony logo
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
1. Copy that ZIP with fix to sdcard via cardreader

2. Unlock bootloader (required only fastboot, Google for tutorial)

3. Install via fastboot kernel with CWM (link in post)

4. Enter CWM: at Sony logo & purple LED press Vol Up (or Down?)

5. Flash that ZIP

6. Now flash stock ROM via Flashtool

Note: all your data on phone including internal storage will be erased (twice)

Please, write here about result.
[Sony Xperia M] nikko3214:
sir i dont have cwm on the phone is there any way to fix this? thanks for the quick response
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
No.

You need install CWM via fastboot after unlocking bootloader.

I already described this.

[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
So you don't need this fix if Flashtool recognize phone.

What actually happen with phone?

Suddenly rebooted and stuck and animation?

Log probably point to often problem with NAND chip - it just going broken, similar to HDD / SSD.
[Sony Xperia M] nikko3214:
this phone suddenly reboots and then it got stucked to sony logo and when i put it on flashmode the green only blinks once then when i am flashing sometimes the loader.sin has error or the kerne.sin
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
Unfortunately, very likely this is classic faulty NAND memory problem.

There's a lot people faced this on XDA and other forums.

Only replacing board, probably by warranty.
[Sony Xperia M] nikko3214:
ok thank you for helping sir
[Sony Xperia M] catmob:
Plz Help

i have xperia m, after unlocking bootloader it stuck on bootlooping, i have not enable usb debugging...any way to fix it?
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
It's normal, just flash stock via Flashtool

Or you can't due broken flashmode?
[Sony Xperia M] catmob:
when i am going to flash...for disabling usb debugging previously, i cant flash my phone...please help me
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
Please, explain problem in details.

At what step you actually stuck?
[Sony Xperia M] catmob:
sir i have going to unlock my bootloader without enable usb debugging & also i have not installed any custom recovery mode.

now my phone stuck into bootloop...

now what will i do? i can go to fastboot mode and flashmode,

and i have read some instruction about flashing via flashtool...when i am going to flash my phone..it showing error that i have to enable usb debuging to flash the rom

sir plz help me
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
You definitely just need flash stock via Flashtool.

Forget about USB debugging, it's totally unrelated here.

Just carefully follow flashing tutorial

You need flash not in fastboot mode, but in flashmode.
[Sony Xperia M] catmob:
ok will my problem solved sir? following these steps?
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
Again: yes.
[Sony Xperia M] catmob:
Thnk you so much sir....you saved my life....my prblm has been solved
[Sony Xperia M] catmob:
sir can i flash another rom (not official) like mi,cyaongen mod without root?
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
Root not required.

You need only install custom recovery CWM

Then follow install instruction in ROM thread.
[Sony Xperia M] catmob:
no need to root then?
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
Yep.

Just read tutorials to get answers on your questions and prevent misconceptions.
[Sony Xperia M] catmob:
ok thanks sir...i have done both cwm recovery installed and root also...also bootloader unlocked...

please suggest a custom rom :D
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
Well, we posted so much offtopic here.

Last answer for you.

I use clean CM12.1, didn't tested other.

sorry for this....

thank you so much sir :)
[Sony Xperia M] kurtbvb:
Has anyone had any problems with the sim card not being detected on stock or a custom rom after this fix?
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
This fix not do anything with modem.

Probably, you flashed stock after fix via Flashtool?

There was critical bug in recent version that by mistake SIM Lock's phone.

Here post from author.

No solution unless restoring TA backup.
[Sony Xperia M] kurtbvb:
Yes i flashed back to stock, then restored TA backup, still not detecting sim.
[Sony Xperia M] broim kaskus:
Dev, I can't flash my XM C1905.

Flashtool is stuck, not running.

I had try with 2 pc, 2 original cables, 2 Firmware and didn't give me solution.

FYI dev, I ever use flashtool for Xperia Neo L.

Any idea or suggest dev?
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
Your question unrealtaed to this thread.

But try more old (better for 2014) version of Flashtool, latest can be problematic.

Or ask in official Flashtool thread.
[Sony Xperia M] spleken001:
nahh cant fix my xperia hu hu hu

[MENTION=5037002]Bonoboo[/MENTION] I think I had a similar problem

I removed the battery while system was stuck on "starting apps" and then it happen.

now phone doesn't read internal memory, I can't do wipe using any custom recovery.

Flash tool stopped and give me error 0017

ERR_SEVERITY="MINOR";ERR_CODE="0017";ERR_DYNAMIC="0x8020001C ";

-

Tried flashing fix attached here using twrp but it says at the end " couldn't mount data"

any idea on how to solve this? can i flash 1.img using adb? and how?

edit: flashing anything through recovery or flashing kerenl using fastboot doesn't seem to affect anything. I think my phone is dead now!?
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
This fix unrelated to your case.

Did you tried to install CWM and there format /data and /data/media ?
[Sony Xperia M] Mysteryagr:
Flashing anything doesn't seem to affect the device, I flashed fotaPartition to get rid of fotarecovery and then flashed cwm kernel, but nothing changes.

I wiped system several times too, but it stays as it... nothing changes!

is it faulty NAND memory? any hope to fix it?
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
Seems, yes.

Seems, no.
[Sony Xperia M] Mysteryagr:
Even with something like Jtag box? (If I sent it to the repair center)
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
I don't know how it damaged: physically or software.
[Sony Xperia M] Mysteryagr:
Rom boots up - system OK

but it does not work because it cannot read internal memory, data, data/media and also dalvik cache ( all shown size as 0 B in twrp)

on the other hand system and cache partitions can be read correctly!

-

I get this everytime system boots up:
[Sony Xperia M] Bonoboo:
99% faulty NAND-chip.

Data on partition messed and looks like encrypted.

So much same problem on forums.

So phone works, but flashmode broken?

If yes, try to flash attached ZIP.

It's done by same way as for M

Thanks [MENTION=5592454]rostifaner[/MENTION] for partition dump from his Xperia L

Be aware: it's untested and there's some risk of brick.

Note for others: it's only for L, don't try flash it on M. Use file from OP.

Thanks a lot for the partition dump. Yes, my phone works but cannot connect in flashmode. I don't mind softbrick but you say there are chances of hardbrick? I mean what are the chances??

[Mogul, XV6800 General] kmartburrito:
On my wizard, a program called SmartsKey (which also mostly works on our Mogul) could use the rocker switch as a volume up and down toggle, when you are outside of a call.

I am annoyed at having to tap the volume icon to change my volume on my phone when at the today screen. We need to have some way to map the scroll wheel's button to open the volume settings when pushed, and then we could simply scroll the wheel up or down to change the volume. Also on the wizard, you could hold down the comm manager button to toggle mute.

I would be willing to work on this with anyone else that would like to try and either make a script or small app that would allow us to do this. It's one of the only major gripes I have so far with this phone. I guess I was just spoiled with the wizard, but I know that this is a hugely capable phone. It would make sense that we could map something to that push button on the wheel. I just don't know how to look for it.

What do you think? Wouldn't that make adjusting the volume a lot better? It seems like this should be the way it works from the factory.

****UPDATE****

I have found a little 48k app that opens the volume balloon. This will definitely work for now, until I can figure out if we can use the wheel button cleanly or not. I have mapped it to the push and hold voice command button, so that when I hold the button, the volume balloon opens. YAY!!

File is attached for logged-in users
[Mogul, XV6800 General] letsgoflyers81:
That sounds like a pretty cool idea, but I really haven't been bothered too much by the scroll wheel not always acting as volume. I wouldn't know much about writing a script or application, but I'd be happy to help with testing.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] theblackhandx:
A FREAKING MEN. how ridiculous can they be? every phone since the beginning of time has had a hard button to change to vibrate.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] crazyhoratio:
Yes, Please! I have found this quite annoying as well. I wish I had the know-how to help you.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] nonegiven:
Great idea. I find myself never using the scroll wheel for anything and always wanting it to simply control the volume.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] aLdaRiS:
try AEBUTTON PLUS i duno if it will work on the mogul, but u can give it a try :)
[Mogul, XV6800 General] ViPaDawG:
if you use the 5-tabbed home plugin from HTC, one of the tabs is ringer profile, and it mutes/vibrate/normal settings allow for quick ringer change. I find that it is enough for my needs.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] srtpusher:
that is one feature i love on my treo 755. i can stut the volume of with a keyflick. very useful for when in meetings or with a customer (i am a car salesman). when walking up to a customer i just flick off the volume.

i cannot do this on my mogul. i have to unlock the screen, go to the volume tab, then click on the volume. 3 steps that require looking at the screen vs one that can be done in pocket or a holster...
[Mogul, XV6800 General] kmartburrito:
I am currently getting some pointers on where to start from those much smarter than I. Hopefully I will get some responses and will be able to start on this. I understand the concept, but it will just be a little game of connecting the dots. I KNOW that this can be done. And it WILL happen :D
[Mogul, XV6800 General] 7r380r:
That is exactly how my Mogul works....... hold it up to your ear and try it.

now.... i want to design a sturdy replacement back with a coiled antenna and a place to store all these 2 Gbyte micro-SD chips
[Mogul, XV6800 General] kmartburrito:
It works this way when you are inside of a call, yes, but I am referring to when you are OUTSIDE of a call, such as at the today screen. Currently, the only way to adjust the volume outside of a call would be by tapping on the volume icon and adjusting the volume.

The idea is to push in the scroll wheel's button to open that volume adjustment screen, so then we can just scroll the wheel up or down to change the device and ringer volume.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Dishe:
I agree that there needs to be a volume control like other HTC devices, however the scroll wheel is great for navigating menus, and pressing it in is the "enter" button. Would you really want to give that option up for something else? Imagine scrolling through your emails and you find the one to open and press it in only to be presented with the volume control instead. I wouldn't want that...

Also, remember that the scroll wheel and d-pad are linked. The hardware can't differentiate the two- in other words, whatever you set the scroll wheel and press-in to do, the d-pad and center button will do as well. Think about this really hard before you try it.
