[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Walter_White:
Hello!

Can anyone give me any hints on what is the best option to transfer my data?

I usually have always used TiBackup because i went from rooted phone to rooted phone.

The Z1C is BL unlock and rooted Kitkat Version 14.3.A.0.757. I have played around with Backup and restore and for some reason it fails to make a backup on the Z1C for me although there is enough space in both internal and SD card. It just fails, maybe due to root.

Then I installed PC Companion and tried to backup from there to no avail. It keeps bugging me to update the old phone. Maybe this is why that fails.

Then I tried the direct Transfer Option (phone to phone) which seems to get as far as the phones connection. Then the receiving phone (Z3c) goes into a loop as it supposedly looking for content on the Z1C to select and transfer. This takes ages, so I believe it might fail, although I am still waiting for it.

Is there any program that is capable of creating a backup file on a rooted phone which is completely installable on a non-rooter? Including data and settings etc.?

Has anyone handled this issue before?

I am scared to try and just update the Z1C as the Companion keeps suggesting for losing root on that phone would suck and I am not sure how hard it is to get that back...

I tried adb backup.

It worked reasonably but some issues..

No comparison to titanium backup..

i had good experience using Helium when i transfered my apps&data from my old phone to the z5c. I bought the full version since direct transfers between the devices seemed to very convenient thing for me. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ElAguila:
Is there any way to get a an external power case to charge the note 4? I bought one of the 4800mah ones from amazon. I put it on the phone and made sure it was snug on the usb connection. I push the button on the back of the case and it starts charging the phone but after a couple of minutes the charging has stopped. I thought the case was defective and requested a replacement. I got the replacement and charged it overnight. I put it on the note 4 and when I got down to 41% I pressed the button and it started charging. After a couple of minutes it stopped as well. Is there a setting on the note that can be changed that will allow it to be charged?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] spexwood:
Contact the seller or manufacturer and describe your problem. I don't think this is an issue with your phone. It's either poor quality battery case or 2 defective ones in a row.

Also try disabling Fast Charge to see if that helps. I doubt it will, but who knows?

BTW, have you found any battery cases that allow the pen to be removed? I asked if there was one here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3218361

However, everyone just keeps giving me extended batteries, even though I'm being extremely specific that that isn't what I'm looking for and that I'm looking for external battery cases.

Ugh!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ElAguila:
Disabling the fast charge did it. The first one was probably good. I have not found any of the battery cases that allow access to the pen. If I do I will post it in your thread.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] spexwood:
Thanks and I'm surprised that worked. It was just a thought I had, lol. If you had Fast Charge on, but was plugged into something that can't support it, it should just charge at normal speeds.

Hello.

I've some word and excel files located in my SD (Storage card\My Documents\Personal\Word\Important ). When I open the word I cant see these files. If I need open a file in this folder, I should open the File Explorer and go to the folder and click to open. How can I see my files when i open MS Word?

Thanks.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esok44:
Hi Guys,

i am really confused and a little bit angry. The Following happened to me today:

My Phone (Unrooted, Locked BL) was behaving weird this morning.

It just randomly crashed and wouldn't boot up.

Eventually i got it to boot once or twice, but still it crashed, shut down and Bootloop.

A Reqular Factory Reset did nothing. now i'm trying to install the Regular KDZ-File for the H815, but things are just not working as expected.

Has anyone else had this problem before?

Is it normal that the LG Flash Tool is on 1% for over 5 Minutes and nothing changes on the Phone screen?

I want to know what has broken my phone so bad, cause this time, I just used it the way it was supposed to be used, no hard drops, no rooting, no changing of software in any means.

First LG Phone and it broke with no warning and no explenation. I'm a little disappointed right now.

The same happened to mine. Are you able to get to download mode by powering off your phone and plugging it into your computer? Im able to flash stock ROMs but nothing helps. The phone reboots by itself at random times and makes it into the operating system a few times but is never usable.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esok44:
Hey,

yes i can get into download mode.

I am able to flash files, but the phone wont boot up anymore.

I just want to save my data, but i guess i wont be able to do so.

So i have to get to the store and get a new g4 :(

Luckily i made a backup of my two weeks ago, so not much will be lost.

I also send an email to the LG customer Service, will post their reply here too.

I am really disappointed by LG at this point, i usually had motorola phones and they didn't have random errors like this one.

I switched to LG, cause G4 sounded awesome, but this error is making me sad.

I am really thinking that i won't buy another LG Product, which is making me sad too, cause usually most things made by them are great.

//==============First Request by me:======================

Hello dear LG-Service Team,

i just bought the premium product LG-G4.

Since some days, the Phone is beginning to hang and reboot, resulting in a bootloop.

Sometimes the phone boots, than optimizing Android for about 30 minutes (100+ Apps installed). After this happened, i kann use it again, but not fully.

To shortcut eventual questions:

The Phone is in factory State, no Custom Rom installed. The bootloader is locked and the Phone has not been rooted.

The mistake seems to come from your firmware.

I am really disappointed, because i paid a lot of money and no have a product which is barely usable.

I switched to LG because of the G4 and i don't want to regret this decision.

Kind regards

<<Esok>>

Email and response, translated by me, so there might be some mistakes...

I don't like the response, it feels like not being taken seriously.

Well, nevertheless, i will go to the retailer and will see what happens.

I will keep you updated.

What do you think of this response?

Greetz Esok
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martinsavvy:
That response is terrible lol. I called in and they said they do not support my phone because it is an international version. So there was nothing they could do for me.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartedpanda:
I have a similiar issue, but mine was due to a OTA update, and I didn't know about the download mode until now.

Thanks.

Any tips when I can get into the download mode? I just wanna recover my personal data (images, and texts)? Flashing STOCK image would preserve the personal data right?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martinsavvy:
While your phone is off, plug it into your computer while holding volume up. If you are using LG flash tool to flash a .KDZ firmware file, you will come across an option that says Normal flash or CSE Flash. Normal flash will not wipe data, while CSE Flash will. I have flashed stock images and it didn't work. Hopefully it works for you though.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjoshi123:
+1 I'm in same boat and exact same issue with my H815. I love the device but this is unacceptable.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorque:
I'm having the same problem, it just happened to me all of a sudden and now I can't even get to the boot animation. I've been able to get into recovery 2 or 3 times but usually it just restarts before it even gets there. I recently updated to the newest xposed framework (though I've restarted just fine a few times after I installed it), did anyone else here do the same?

When I get home from work I'm going to keep attempting to fix it, I've flashed my current TOT but it failed after rebooting. I don't know if I'm having the same problem as everyone else but I'll update if I can find a solution.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Norcalz71:
same issue here on the at&t 810. Starting about 3 days ago I started getting random reboots + bootloops. Sometimes it would boot to the LG logo and stick, sometimes to the AT&T logo and stick, sometimes to the OS and freeze after the lock screen appeared. I can get into the OS and use it for awhile, then it will restart and it all begins again. 2 factory resets so far and no dice. I am rooted on 10e but have a warranty device on the way which undoubtedly will be on a higher firmware and will likely miss out on the potential coming bootloader unlock. At this point I am probably going to sell on craigslist and get a 6p. The phone is great when it works and I love the size, the looks, and the screen, but the lag and these reboots are unacceptable.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esok44:
Just a short update by me:

I gave it to the retailer, they said it would take about 10 Days.

I hope this stuff won't happen again or this was the last time i am buying a LG Product.

I think i would have been better off by sending it directly to LG but nevertheless, maybe giving it to the retailer will make my warranty stay longer ;)

I will keep you updated, including firmware Version the phone has after sending it in and so on.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atrix_noob:
All of the sudden my phone today just froze leaving me with a black background and no animations, the phone is very hot if I try to use it on that moment. Even when I reboot the phone stays very very slow and says system it's no responding.

What can I do? Even when a Reboot it some times works normal then suddenly does it again.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esok44:
Sounds like a heat problem in your case.

What happens if you pull out the battery, wait 10 minutes to let the phone get cold and than reboot?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorque:
Well, no luck on my end. I could only even get into recovery one out of every 50 times or so that I tried, and when I managed to I wasn't able to sideload any system software because it wouldn't initialize the driver (my computer recognized the phone just fine, except the ADB portion). Clearing the data did nothing either. Luckily I'm on Sprint and the phone's being recalled anyway, so I just walked in and they swapped it no questions asked. At least after flashing a TOT and clearing the data they shouldn't have an easy way to tell I was rooted or anything.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atrix_noob:
Thanks for replying, I completely restored phone today and was a success. No more black background.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R.Suave:
same random rebooting issue here as well. and I just bought this phone brand new from a 3rd party :/

Update: I seem to have gotten past the problems after updating to 10n. Now running stock debloated 10n rom with no reboot issues (so far:P)

Update 2: Had 1 - 2 cycle bootloop on 10n
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sfkn2:
I don't see how you giving your phone to your retailer will extend your warranty. That makes absolutely no sense, since your warranty begins from your date of purchase.

My phone also ended up with the bootloop and having to exchange with a new unit. I'm on the TMO Variant H811.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esok44:
Actually German Law is a little bit different.

Regular warranty is not what i meant in my post, i meant the "Gewährleistung" its an additional kind of warranty given out by the retailer.

There are some cases in which this "Gewährleistung", which usually lasts for about 2 Years is made longer. Mostly this happens when the retailer would have to send in a product for the third time, they basically give out a new one, which will be treated like a NEW device. So new Warranty, new "Gewährleistung".

I hope this somehow made sense ;)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esok44:
Today i got my phone back.

They repaired it.

Everything is like it was before, so i am pretty sure they didn't change it.

Firmware Version is 10d.

The Phone is working so far.

Will keep you updated if anything changes.

I actually brought it to the retailer. They send it to LG.

When i received the Phone back, i was asking what has been done, but the guy behind the counter couldn't answer it.

Said something like, LG hasn't told them, cause it has been a warranty case.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] AaronOppedyk:
Hi there! Recently I updated my phone after using KitKat for quite a while as I grew a bit bored of KitKat and thought Lollipop would do some good. Previously, I had KitKat then went to Lollipop but I didn't like Lollipop so I flashed to KitKat. Then, after some time I am where I am now, stuck on Lollipop. So I am trying to revert back to KitKat again, but on my computer after I load KitKat into Odin and press start, the console log gets stuck on aboot.mbn. Everything works fine until that point, which it then just sits there. My phone also displays a loading bar on the download mode, but sits at the very beginning. Something is wrong here. I would really appreciate any help.

Somethings you may need to know:

- Yes I have successfully gone back to KitKat before on the same phone.

- I have the correct Verizon Retail KitKat Software

- I have Odin 3.0.9

- I am running 5.0.1

- I have done a factory reset and cleared cache partition as well, but nothing seems to work.

Thanks, I look forward to your feedback! :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] outcasted2003:
Did you update OTA or flash the safe 5.0.1 update using odin? If you took the OTA upgrades then you are stuck, you will NOT be able to flash that phone again.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] AaronOppedyk:
I did download a security update after the initial 5.0.1 update, so I'm guessing that's what's doing it? Right after I posted my thread I saw the warning in this forum area, so I think that may be the case. I guess oh well, think there maybe a solution in the future for KitKat? Lollipop isn't too bad after a reset but I would prefer KitKat over time.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] nikeman513:
Am I alone on this thought? I was really thinking about selling this tablet a month ago and decided to wait for the update, because I knew how terrible Lollipop was/is. I really am glad I waited, this tablet feels like a brand new device! No lag, approximately 650MB being used on average!, battery life is amazing, WiFi connection doesn't drop anymore, so far I can't find a flaw! If I did, there are so many pros to this update it couldn't take away the happiness I feel about what is better!

Unfortunately wifi option doesn't work properly and you can quickly drain the battery if you don't turn off wifi when you haven't access. Keep wifi on during sleep option is broken.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Patozan:
The catch is you can't access your files if you're not using a system app or a user app with root access. Since most multimedia apps don't actively ask root permission, they won't have rights to access the microsd folder created under "/mnt/media_rw". You can't change the permissions to the microsd folder either. Perhaps if you set up your microsd as "internal storage" (see adoptable storage feature) instead of "portable storage" all multimedia apps can access it (since these apps have permission for it, of course), but Android M didn't implement that feature yet, at least as far as Flo is concerned.

Luckly Chainfire's Stickmount app uses its root rights to mount the microsd inside the internal storage (under sdcard), where all apps have access.

I was quite shocked to find out that a feature like adoptable storage, which has been announced by the media as Google finally playing along fairly with external storage, seems to be actually quite the opposite.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] schufti:
in this light YES it feels like a "new" device ... coming directly from a backyard in china with cloned firmware not belonging to this hw ,-)

would be interesting what TO understands as "battery life is amazing" when standby lasts max 2days.

Having to en-/disable WiFi everytime I want to use my tab is anything but amazing.

To add another one to the list: access from PC via USB doesn't work either.

One has to enable developer settings to switch USB to MTM allthough it is allready selected, charge only seems to be default with no possibility to change for standard users.

This seems to be the most untested and buginfested "upgrade" I encountered in my Android history.

I have that usb problem too thats some bull****.

Battery life is pretty damn good I got over seven hours screen on time over 3 days with not light usage (no games). I don't have any wifi problems but even a bad signal shouldn't drain it since Doze should shut it down so I'm not sure what would be draining your battery. I lose 1-2% overnight.

My biggest problem with 6.0 is Doze. Turns off everything for good standby time, works great for that but now I don't get lots of notifications like email or calendar when it's dozing and excluding them from battery "optimization" does not work. They gotta fix that ****.
