[Sprint LG G3] crazymook:
Having the same issue w/ my note 4. Posted in the 4 section as well. Started last night.
[Sprint LG G3] decadence18:
Same thing on LG G3; over the past 2 days (yesterday and today) the Voicemail Application has been at the top of the applications using my battery (Normally 20 to 40%). I think it might be because it's attempting to communicate with the Voicemail-to-Text server, and keeps timing out (I got an error when trying to change my preferences under Preferences > Mobile Advertising Preferences). Possibly. Just a thought.
[Sprint LG G3] jhuff83:
Huge battery drain for me as well on my Galaxy S 5. This is ridiculous.
[Sprint LG G3] decadence18:
My father's Note 3 is doing it too; you can go into the apps and Force Stop it and it should stop doing it. It doesn't stop your voicemail, just the visual application, and when you enter it it starts again.
[Sprint LG G3] Jimmy50941:
Same here. I uninstalled it yesterday.
[Sprint LG G3] killerz298:
---------- Post added at 07:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 AM ----------

As a temporary solution I went into the app settings for voicemail, deleted all the data (not sure if necessary and WILL delete your saved voicemails), uninstalled the updates, turned off notifications, and then restarted my phone. You will NOT be able to use the visual voicemail after doing this because as soon as you try to open the app it will prompt you to reinstall the mandatory updates. I don't really take many phone calls anyway so I don't care. I'll leave it like this until Sprint fixes the issue. I'd rather have my batter life back.
[Sprint LG G3] rootbeer001:
I did delete data (it will erase all previous voicemails) and revert to the original apk. Everything with the battery seems fine now, but I do get the notification that an update was needed. The app will still work when you bypass the update.

Are there any other good voicemail apps out there that are free? I miss the old voicemail app they had before this one. Wonder if I can pull it from my GNex.....

UPDATE: looking on the forum at sprint.com, people have reported that Sprint fixed the issue. Going to try to update and see what the result will be.
[Sprint LG G3] killerz298:
Yes, issue seems to be fixed for me. Couple of days with updated VM and no battery drain.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fightoffyoredeamons:
I know with the S6 all we had to do was Odin the stock firmware but for whatever reason it doesn't work on the note. Anyone know a work around?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNameRedNeck:
What does not work when you use Odin to flash stock?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fightoffyoredeamons:
It just flashes the stock firmware leaving all of the media and all of the same settings.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNameRedNeck:
I noticed my Note 4 did that as well. I do not know what has changed. I guess you just have to clear cache and data in recovery first.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apd:
Do a factory reset first? Flashing in Odin keeps settings as it allows upgrades?
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] mswlogo:
My wife dropped her phone in the kitchen sink full of water, she said it was only for a second.

I removed SD and SIM and blew everything out. Water came out of every orifice.

It seems fine right now, but concerned it will degrade in time if water got deep into it.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] OMJ:
and this is the uh oh replacement? bummer
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] mswlogo:
Yup. It seems fine so far.
[Sprint HTC One (M9)] phillip1953:
I had the screen die on my 4 month old M9. I admit I've been a bit rough on it. :) I took it to the Sprint service center and they replaced it no questions asked. I was a bit startled how easy it was.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lungolok:
Hi fellows, sorry to bother you i always try to manage to solve all problems on my own (researching) but there no info on the subject.

A bit of history: im the happy owner of an MT7-L09 since last month. I bought it with a Sandisk Ultra 32gb micro sd class10. I've been using the phone without any problems. Didnt even tried to root it.

What i actually did was to set up the SD card as a the default memory location. I dont actually really know what this does apart from saving all media in the SD (mainly google play music, photos and videos i shoot with the camera, some big obb files, etc).

Last week i downloaded oficial Lollipop 5.1.1 release and did a manual update. All good, i kept on using it without any problems (aside from considerably lower battery life) for a couple of days.

Then i decided to gain root access. I followed this steps after googling for help.

I gained root access but after this, it keeps looping between "sd card safe to remove" and "preparing sd card" as long as my sd card is in its slot.

After that i:

Got SD card out, used a PC to backup contents (no damages), gave it a quick format in windows fat32, then format in android. PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE

Then i went back to the pc and gave the card a slow full fat32 format, then format again in andoird. PROBLEM STILL HERE

I also recently bought an action cam with the same SD model. Got that one out and placed it straight into the phone replacing the other. SAME TYPE of SD HERE, SAME MODEL. PROBLEM PERSISTS.

I think it might be related to flashing a recovery or something like that while i had my sd card as default memory location. I really dont know what to do to ger it read any of my SD cards again.

Shall i flash original kit kat firmware again? maybe 5.1.1 again and loose root access? I couldnt find any information regarding this issue rather than try another SD card which i already did (the problem surfaced after the process of gaining root access).

Any clues?

Thaks

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kta:
I just started having this problem today. I have been on the official 5.1.1 since it launched and never came across any issue until this morning. I never ever rooted or flashed anything custom and the boot loader is still locked.

As of today I started having this issue, looping between "SD card safe to remove" and "Preparing SD card" however I am able to access the SD Card and intervals. The SD Card works perfectly fine on any other device.

One thing I changed recently (2 days ago) is the default memory location, I set it to SD Card, so I am going to revert that setting back to Internal Memory and see if it fixes the issue. Thanks for the tip :)

If anyone else has come across this issue and/or knows how to fix it please help :)

UPDATE: I tried reverting the default location setting back to "Internal storage" and found that the setting had already reverted back automatically, presumably because the SD Card is not always available :( So no luck with that. I am starting to suspect it's a hardware issue!

UPDATE 2: I left the SD Card in the device and connected it to the PC in order to take a backup using HiSuite. As soon as I plugged it in the error stopped cropping up. I finished the backup, unplugged the USB and so far the "SD card safe to remove" and "Preparing SD card" did not show up again. It's been over an hour now. Yesterday I plugged in the device to my PC in order to copy some pictures so something may have happened at that point I'm suspecting.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kta:
It's been over 12 hours now so I'm guessing all it needed was to connect it to the pc again [emoji2]
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lungolok:
Now that you mention Hi Suite, i played arround a bit with it before the error appeared. im gonna give it a shot
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wexus:
I've done that the root and installed the recovery and microSD goes into loop does not know what to do help ..
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kta:
Mine is still steady after a few days, hope you fix yours too [emoji6]
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lungolok:
Solved. It must be some issue caused by HiSuite. I connected, made full backup, safely extracted SD from computer and problem seems to have ceased.

Thanks

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Artemide*:
I got this problem today after reflashing stock recovery.

It disappears after remove and reinsert sd card, but after a reboot problem was still there.

Now I solved checking debug usb setting, because after recovery flash it has been disabled itself.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GypsyChick:
I have this problem but with the USB storage device, I bought a new one which has two plugs, one is usb the other is micro, to transfer from laptop to phone without cables. It works on PC, it works on my husband's Huawei Mate 7, but just loops on mine. Other USB storage work fine on my phone with cable, but this new one just loops "preparing to connect" and " USB removed", even when trying to connect with cable.

All software is up to date, no modifications have been made.

Any simple ideas would be appreciated (I'm not into flashing/rooting etc!)

[XDA Assist] martixy:
I cannot, for the life of me, figure out what resolution wallpaper I need for my devices - it always seems to ask me to crop it up and has 0 apparent relation to screen resolution.

For reference, this is currently about my Nexus 7(2013) device [1920x1200], but I'd really like to know how it works in general.
[XDA Assist] Primokorn:
Hi,

Thanks for using XDA Assist.

Android has an inbuilt cropping tool that pops up whenever you try to apply a wallpaper.

Either you apply wallpapers having the same resolution as your device or you use 3rd party apps to bypass this feature such as Image 2 Wallpaper, Simple Image Wallpaper, Wallpaper Wizardrii, Wallpapyrus pro.

Some custom launchers may help.
[Verizon LG G3] BoulderGeek:
I just bought an OEM Verizon Qi charging phone back, and two different Qi chargers. All sourced from Amazon, and listed as their best sellers.

Neither would connect to the phone and provide wireless charging. I am RMA-ing the new phone back to rule it out.

Could being on a custom ROM be interfering? I am on SkyDragon 4.0. I don't want to bother the dev on it, if it is a hardware problem.

Anyone else have a similar configuration that worked?
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
as far as i know, there is no "oem" charging backs available. you can buy an aftermarket sticker to make it work though.

anyways, the sticker should have 4 contact points, not 2. if you have that, the only way to properly verify its working is to put stock back on.

yes, it should work on SD, but to rma a device, without verifying the issue on the clean stock it was intended to run on is just not smart.
[Verizon LG G3] BoulderGeek:
Yep, my back has four contacts, to match the internal contacts on teh phone.

it is branded LG and "Verizon 4G LTE", same as my original, hence why I referred to it as OEM.

I believe they made them standard for sale in Rest of World and optional for the US.

It is hard for me to believe that the charging on those two pins would be disabled in software, but considering the ridiculousness of US carriers, I put nothing past them. Which is why I wanted to know if anyone had one that worked.

I didn't RMA the phone, just the 4-pin optional Qi charging back plate. To call someone "not smart," when you clearly have no grasp of the facts...that's not smart.
[Verizon LG G3] iphydeauxi:
I do know from experience that AOSP roms do break wireless charging, but SkyDragon is based off of stock, so it should work just fine.
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
i can only comment on what you post, and dont pretend to understand what you mean while vaguely explaining it.

what i perceive from your post appeared to be "not smart", and thats how i called it.

now that you have clarified, even returning the back plate before verifying the issue on clean stock, is not smart, but hey, its your time and money to do with as you wish.

good luck with that :)
[Verizon LG G3] fenrisswolf:
Have you checked the other threads on this already?

There are only a few places to get the parts that enable wireless charging on the G3. As far as I know, the only official OEM part that verizon sells is the flip case. Any others are either the Sticker type, or an OEM part imported from europe, to get the correct 4 pin option, (Both at&t and korean variant parts will not work, as the 4 pins do not align correctly for the verizon phone.) and neither would have the verizon logo on it, unless it was an aftermarket mod from a third party, and I'd be a bit weary of those, personally. So I'm a little confused on the 4 pin, verizon logo part of your message. Still, if it is a correctly modified original part, with an aftermarket sticker attached on it, it should work on stock, and on most roms based of stock, like SD's ROM.
[Verizon LG G3] xtermmin:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N29ECGE

Bought one from Amazon last week from a US seller who unfortunately doesn't seem to be listed anymore (sold out?). Back was OEM with only the LG logo, and had the Qi+NFC pins in the correct place for the VS985 (the AT&T/Asian models had their pins aligned slightly differently).

Works with my Qi charger fine, and I too am running SD 4.0, as I value battery life.
[Verizon LG G3] Icanthelplt90:
I have actually used quite a few AOSP roms and they seemed to have fixed it. I've been using PA for about 3 months now and its been working this whole time. Also on my wife's G3 CM12's wireless charging works for her. Just thought i would let you know in case you wanted to try it out again. I'm using some cheap wireless sticker from amazon and all is working on both of our phones :)

EDIT: This is what i purchased http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Charging-Antenna-Sticker-T-mobile/dp/B00MWS5L34/ref=sr_1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1445349009&sr=1-2&keywords=lg+g3+qi+wireless+charging+sticker
[Verizon LG G3] BoulderGeek:
Thanks for those constructive posts. Good to know that any issues I may be having are likely hardware. That points me in a good direction.

I should be receiving the replacement back today, so I can see if the problem is my phone core or the accessories.

Yeah, it's weird that the phone back would have Verizon branding, especially if it isn't their part. I can't see an advantage to doing that. The silkscreen looks identical to the OEM back that shipped with the phone.

EDIT: Ah ha! Now I understand what happened. This is the product: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NL9GWPY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01 I sort of blindly purchased, since it had a good rating. I now see that the seller has taken OEM backs and retrofitted them with a sticker! it's the same deal that you can do for six bucks, and not OEM. So, I am a stooge because I didn't read the fine print. :)
[Verizon LG G3] DeanGibson:
Amazon is not the place for popular items.

"Best sellers" on Amazon sometimes means "lots of victims".

A couple weeks ago I also search for a genuine LG/Verizon charging back, so that I wouldn't have to mess with a "stick-on" solution. While the items looked promising at first blush, a little research showed that there is no such device as a "genuine LG/Verizon charging back", despite what is obviously marked as such. The genuine charging back from Verizon is a clamshell-like cover, that apparently doesn't fit well with the usual belt clips. Life is like that.

Sadly, Amazon has become a haven for scammers offering counterfeit products of all types. A few months ago, I wanted to buy a power adapter for my Samsung tablet. The price on Samsung's site was $35; the price from all of the vendors on Amazon was $10, for devices clearly marked with the Samsung logo. However, reading the reviews showed that they were all cheap counterfeits that often failed in a month or two.

I have come to the point of only buying stuff on Amazon, that Amazon buys directly from the manufacturer. Ie, "sold by and ships from Amazon", not "sold by <whomever> and ships from Amazon".

As they say, "buyer beware".

Okay, now you do (grin).
[Verizon LG G3] BoulderGeek:
Thanks, Dean. You're absolutely right.

I received the second replacement "wireless charging & NFC" cover, last night. Still doesn't work on my phone. But, it looks like a new Verizon cover, just one that had some yahoo replace the original NFC antenna with a cheap knockoff that purportedly would charge.

Ah, well, I got a new, unscratched G3 phone back plate and learned a lesson.
[Verizon LG G3] iphydeauxi:
I want to try again, but my phone was just replaced by VZW, and it has 35B. I'm treading lightly on the recovery/rooting until I do enough research to be confident in my next attempt. I REALLY miss CM.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Encore:
I have a Dopod 383 Pro running Black Magik (apparently BBC does not work with Black Satin) with the BBC software v4.0.0.67 downloaded from the Dopod Australia website.

I have installed Blackberry Connect Desktop on my notebook and connected it to the Exchange server. I have added myself as a user on BES and set an activation password. The status of my account shows up as "Initializing". I have installed the Blackberry Connect cab file on my Dopod however the status of the service shows up as "Not Connected". ActiveSync has been installed and is synchronizing fine with Exchange.

I have a Blackberry Data Plan activated on my SIM card.

Can someone please help me get connected to BES?

Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] anonamouse:
On the desktop software:

1) can you see your BES account settings??

2) have you hit the 'configure handset' button? and let it do its thing (can take a while)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Encore:
In the General Tab, PIN shows up as "Unknown Type". Security is set to "Generate Keys Automatically". In Advance, email shows my Exchange email address. That is all the information I have showing in the desktop software.

I click on Configure Wireless Handset and I get an error message that says it cannot connect to the device.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] anonamouse:
1) did you download the desktop software from the same site as the cab file? There are a number of versions of the desktop software and they are not all compatable.

2) have you completed the setup on the handheld before you active sync to your PC? ie do you have the Blue BB indicator on the bottom right corner of the today screen? If it is there what does it indicate BB, Bx, B! If its not there then you need to set it up. On your handheld go ... Start>Settings>System>Blackberry select services you want (Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Notes) then 'next'. Select the 'connection' (hopefully this is already set to blackberry) then 'next' and finally the device will 'prepare for first use' then ask to reset. following the reset the BB indicator should be on the today screen, then try to connect to your PC, Activesync, BB desktop connect and 'configure device'
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Encore:
1) The desktop software was downloaded from the same Dopod Australia site as the CAB file.

2) Setup was completed on the handheld and it indicated B! on the bottom right. Everything has been setup as you mentioned however following the reset the desktop connect is still unable to access the device when you click on "Configure device". ActiveSync works fine.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] anonamouse:
I'm fast running out of ideas....

1) are you using BBConnect 4.0.0.90 on Black Majik? I am not sure this version works on Majik. However I do have it working on Black X Beta 2.

2) B! means either blocked or suspended (no connection). click on the B! and check the Status Tab what is the text after the word Service: (If its Suspended by user then click the resume button). Then select the Identity tab, is the PIN shown? If not then uninstall & reinstall BB Connect on the device.

3) On the blackberry Connect Desktop app, can you check the version? Is it 4.0.0.17 ?. If not then get it from here... http://sems.org/content/download/bbc4/activesync_bbconnect_desktop_setup_4.0.0.17.zip

4) Is your active sync V4.5?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Encore:
1) I am running BBConnect v4.0.0.67 on Black Majik as I heard it does not work with Black Satin.

2) Service: Not connected and the Resume button is greyed out. The PIN is showing in the Identity Tab.

3) I am runing BB Connect Desktop v4.0.0.17

4) I am running ActiveSync v4.5
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] anonamouse:
got me buggered! (B!)

Last thing I can think of is that the Black Majik version you have is not 'hex-edited' for BB.

you might want to try Blackberry connect 4.0.0.90 (google it for the location)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Encore:
Is there a way to check if the version of Black Majik I am running has been edited for BB?

I will try BBConnect v4.0.0.90 now.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] anonamouse:
I'm not sure how to tell whats hex edited and whats not (no doubt there is something on this site that explains it).

Black X beta 2 is really stable and BBC 4.0.0.90 definetly works with this. If you can't get it to run on Majik, consider heading to the X ROM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Encore:
Okay, I have installed Black X Beta 2 with BBC 4.0.0.90 and now it works fine.

I have used BBC to sync my contacts, calender, task and notes and ActiveSync is not being used to sync any of those. Once BBC syncs all my info, my appointments tab disappeared from the Today screen and going into the Today screen settings, the appointment option cannot be found.

Another thing I noticed is that my contacts is displaying Last Name, First Name. How do I change this to First Name, Last Name?

Thank you very much for all your help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] lovenokia:
So the home button on my s6 doesn't seem to press anymore. I am currently rocking a custom rom and want to know whether I should go back to stock before I take the phone into att. I know att can be the devil so I'm wondering what your opinion about this is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] timde9:
Well yeah. Don't bother talking it in unless you have a device service center in your area. Standard retail stores don't handle warranty claims. You have three options. Go to a DSC if there is one in the area, call tech support and they will file a warranty claim or you can chat with tech support online and they can file a claim as well. I did mine online as it involved the least amount of hassle. Now your definitely gonna want to put the phone back to stock otherwise they will consider your device out of warranty and it won't be covered.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] custommx3:
If you tripped knox... your screwed.
