Use the Smartphone General forum for GENERIC posts, hacks, tutorials, questions!

If you have a question / tip / hack / trick also applicable to (most) other Smartphone models, please PLEASE post it to the brand new General Smartphone forum. Few Smartphone users check out the forums of other Smartphone models and, therefore, your questions / tips / other stuff will be read by a LOT more people if you post it to a general forum than in just a model-specific one.

As has already been pointed out, everything should be posted to the new General forum that isn’t ONLY related to the particular model. Some examples of what should be posted to the General forum and what should stay in a device-specific one:

posts like “the HTC Vox (s710) has a very bad-quality rubber cover” (example HERE and HERE) should stay in the device-specific Vox subforum because it’s (currently - we'll see how the forthcoming HTC Wings fare in this respect) only the Vox that is affected by this problem. The same stands for problems with the bootloaders of a given model or specific ROM upgrades, ROM versions, unlocking etc. only applicable to a given model (and nothing else).

posts like Live Messenger CAB’s (example HERE), OpenVPN hacks (example HERE), Adobe Flash hacking (example HERE) etc. should ALL be posted to the General forum because these hacks, information etc. can be used on (almost) ALL Smartphone models.

if you have a question that you feel can be answered by other Smartphone users, do NOT post it to a device-specific forum, but to the generic one. Generic questions are “What Web browsers should I use?”, “How do I configure my e-mail client?”, “How do I install Flash on my device” and so on. ONLY post questions like “What about ROM version X.Y for Smartphone model XY”, “How do I enable HSDPA in model XY”, “Where should I get WM6 for model XY”, “I have problems with the rubber covers of my Vox”, “My Excalibur’s buttons are hard to press” – that is, questions you’re absolutely sure about belonging to model-specific forums.

Also, make sure you continuously monitor the forum because I’ll post a lot of brand new Smartphone-related information in there.

Again and again,

POST ALL your questions / tips / hacks in the General forum if you find it can also apply to / answered by the owners of other Smartphone models

frequently visit the new forum for new tips / questions and, last but not least, my tutorials / roundups :)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baronBale:
Hello everyone,

some time ago I asked a Question in this Forum, where it tourned out, that my memory chip seems broken. I've got a coworker who said if the pins (I think it has been the pins...) are not thinner than 0.5mm he can solder it. But I fail finding the right memory chip.

Therefore I have two questions:

Has anybody experience in changing the memory-chip of an I9505?

Does anybody know which chip I need and where I can order it?

Thank you very much in advance.

- bale
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The EMMC chip doesn't use leads, but is a ball grid array. You can see what's involved by looking at this YouTube video. The video is for a S3, but the EMMC and the fundamentals are virtually identical.

Good luck finding the chip. I have no idea where you can get one.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baronBale:
Ok, thank you very much. Unless there comes nobody with an idea or some black magic during the next days I guess I will throw it on eBay... Does not sound as if there is any hope to get it repaired. :(
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Maybe you can get it from another S4. I'm sure you can find a broken one sold for parts.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baronBale:
Sure, but broken S4s are sold for 50€+ on eBay, and thinking of the tools the guy in the YouTube video had it will be 50€ just for the chance of getting it repaired. So I think I will sell it for 50€ myself and invest this money into a new mobile.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
You could swap out motherboards from a S4 with a damaged screen. But then again, you're into spending money. It would be less than the roughly 100USD you'd spend on a solder reflow workstation, tools, flux, and the chip itself, but still really not worth it when you can get working devices off Swappa for reasonable prices.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] djosue1034:
I have a question, I can flash the rom cm12.1 of A500F in A500H, both are dual simcard and the same processor, sorry for my bad inglish.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] SkyFlex:
FYI, A500F is single sim. And I think you can't do that, even with same chipset.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] djosue1034:
hmm I not know it was single sim, anyway wanted to know if I could flash my a500h

It's single sim, I'm using A500F. Yeah unfortunately you can't do that, need some changes for works properly.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cocidlc:
First, I'll put my phone specs:

Device model: One XL (I actually have the HTC One X ATT version)

PAC version: LP-MR1 Beta-3 Official

Android version: 5.1.1

Baseband version: 1.35a.32.45.27_10.144.32.34aL

Kernel version: 3.4.108- ArcTeam+

Build number: pac_evita-userdebug 5.1.1 LVY48F eng.josegalre.20150917.225238 test-keys

Before doing everything I had HTC's stock android 4.2.2 with Sense UI.

I used WinDroid Universal Android Toolkit for all of this. First, I unlocked the bootloader through HTCDev. Then, I flashed the TWRP recovery, then I rooted with SuperSU, then I used rumrunner to make the phone S-OFF. Then I pushed the ROM .zip and the GApps .zip to the /sdcard/, and first flashed the ROM, then GApps, then rebooted.

Everything else works fine, it's very fast, but when I want to use the Camera, it will just load for like a minute, and then say: "Camera error: Can't connect to the camera."

How do I fix this? If you need more of my phone information to fix this problem just let me know.

Thanks in advance!
[Droid Ultra General] mooneyspam:
I just got this update a few minutes ago. I can't seem to find anyone talking about it. Anyone got any information on changes?
[Droid Ultra General] appletonpunk:
Just the stage fright patch
[Droid Ultra General] Shovales:
To me this is kind of a disappointment, considering that the time was taken to produce a security update for an exploit that has been around a while, but the release a new os for the ultra/maxx/mini users that could better the experience and patch the security issues is nowhere in sight. Furthermore with this patch, its very doubtful that we will see L on our devices.
[Droid Ultra General] classic757:
Yep, my thoughts exactly.

---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:43 PM ----------

Big disappointment indeed. :( This is all Verizon has to offer? :confused: A patch for the stagefright bug? Wow, I'm impressed. Not!

Yeah, I think at this point droid maxx/ultra/mini users can pretty much forget about getting Lollipop. I mean come on, L has been out for a year and these phones are two years old now. They (the carriers) are not going to waste time,money,and effort on dinosaur phones, especially with Marshmallow out now.

Edit: Just got my "New system software available". Had to go into settings>system update to get the notification. The update is only 2.7 megabytes. Just a bug patch, that's all.

Whoopee! Not!
[Droid Ultra General] appletonpunk:
So if they don't deliver, will maxx users get a kickback like atrix hd owners did when kk wasn't delivered.
[Droid Ultra General] classic757:
Yeah, I think Verizon is going to give everybody a free Droid Turbo 2 with lifetime free unlimited data! :laugh: :silly:

Just kidding, of course.
[Droid Ultra General] jdawg334:
Surprising that they are slacking so bad with so many 2013 droid phones that receive the same update with the ultra and mini supposed to get it too and the mini is still being sold at Verizon.
[Droid Ultra General] classic757:

[Droid Ultra General] aviwdoowks:
Not so minor, read major BUG fix!

Stock launcher update, no more safe boot crashes while you have more than 200 apps.

For starters...

Look at the zip, many apps updated.
[Droid Ultra General] leerpsp:
Will because of this I bet we are not gonna see 5.1 on are phones tell next year if at all.

And im also gonna hold off on updating in hopes of a bootloader unlock to install some roms/make my own.
[Droid Ultra General] aviwdoowks:
From .2 to .3

I do not think the boot is touched. Do not suffer bad sw for nothing.
[Droid Ultra General] osucowboy96:
Bought the Maxx at launch and still using it (I'm unlocked/rooted), but have already ordered my Nexus 6P. I'm done with Verizon's inability to update phones, so I'm taking them out of the equation.
[Droid Ultra General] classic757:
The "update" is only 2.7 mb in size. There is not a lot going on with the update. Just the stagefright patch that's all.

Verizon took all this time just to come out with a 2.7 mb update? This sucks bigtime.

I'm looking at getting the Moto X Pure. It is unlocked and can be used on Verizon's network. The bootloader is unlockable through Motorola/Lenovo. I don't want any more of Verizon's locked down phones.

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 PM ----------

I don't think the Maxx is going to see Lollipop at all.

Also, if there is a bootloader unlock exploit developed, I don't think this minor update will prevent you from using it. That's just my opinion.

[Droid Ultra General] aviwdoowks:
You're wrong! Many apps updated to fix long standing bugs. LOOK at the 2 sys app folders before you make ignorant statements. I took it based on the app folder content, it fixed a major bug. I bet it fixes the Bluetooth / Maps / Youtube bug as well.... You assume that vzw passes all the Moto details to us. They do not.
[Droid Ultra General] dtomlin:
What is the build date on the update? And we are just now getting it.
[Droid Ultra General] aviwdoowks:
Is pic
[Droid Ultra General] leerpsp:
The build number is from a few mouths a go so this has been ready for some time bet it be the same for 5.1.1 as well.
[Droid Ultra General] Shovales:
I'm fairly certain that those apps updated from the play store, but again thats just a hunch.
[Droid Ultra General] aviwdoowks:
Well my stock MotLauncher2 no longer crashes on safe boot. Before it would crash if user apps were more than ~ 100 but I never remembered the cut off.
[Droid Ultra General] DROID_4_UsEr:
Guys this is a minor update so if a bootloader unlock method was created then you can downgrade the version back to do the bootloader unlock method its not a Lollipop update just a like a new build update..Only problem is will this break root access if we update????
[Droid Ultra General] Mangu:
I just took the update. With Root Survival on on SuperSU app. Root was not affected by this update.
[Droid Ultra General] DROID_4_UsEr:
Thanks ks so much I will update my Maxx now ?
[Droid Ultra General] fix-this!:
Id be truly shocked to see the ultra and mini updated to lollipop at all. My mini is being handed back to my work anyways next week. I got a new job. Good riddence to them and this device.
[Droid Ultra General] stealthllama:
This patch broke my temp kingroot. I can no longer use it. My battery life has also decreased. Still trying to troubleshoot why that may be.
[Droid Ultra General] Mangu:
My battery life has decreased as well.
[Droid Ultra General] Shovales:
Your battery life has decreased, because that's how Verizon is phasing out the device, make the battery use more and more energy for the same task that it would have used less before.. Think about.. Verizon pushes out firmware that prevents unlocking the bootloader(su5-24), so now you can't flash anything other than software that they want you have, which in turn depreciates the device. Otherwise most people would just keep the same device for however long they could without dropping more money into a new device.

Take that for whatever you feel its worth, but that's my conclusion to the matter.. Soap box is now put away..

hey bro how did you get it unlocked? Did you use sunshine? Im trying ot use it but it say I need to be rooted, So im stuck. I'm willing to pay the 25 but it doesnt want to let me do it becasue it says I need to be rooted/temp rooted. If you could inform me I;d greatly appreciate it.
[Droid Ultra General] realbbb:
Try kingroot and once temp rooted, try sunshine. However, I believe the vulnerability for write protection off was patched in 4.4.4. Never hurt to try.

You can get perm root with write protection on. Find the thread by crash.

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carcass92:
I switched to boeffla and was on ak! Both are very good, but for me as kind of a newbee to custom kernels i like the boeffla config way more and i get a lot more battery life with some very tiny tweaks ;) (about 6 hours SOT).

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr0wnest:
Both Boeffla and AK are great, both are high customisable as well and will only continue to get better as the months go on. Though I'd say AK has a better performance to battery life ratio but is somewhat more complicated to tweak from personal experience. Just wait for custom battery saver profiles to be released and you wont be sorry.

can you suggest me which rom is best , I heard some roms

please guide me bro
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pastorbob62:
What he is saying is that you can do a lot of customization with a rooted phone and Xposed without flashing a custom ROM. The downside is that you are still stuck with a lot of bloat in the stock apps. There are ways to remove them but doesn't always work and can cause other problems. And there are limits to Xposed. The upside is it is less risky to go the Xposed/root/stock route.

I have tried numerous custom ROM's and they all have pros and cons. I have been on AOSP with Monster Kernel and Slim_zero_gapps_beta for a while now and am very pleased with it. Minimal OS is also quite good, but I have a custom app that I use and it didn't work with Minimal. If not for that it would be my ROM of choice.

In spite of what some people will tell you, there is no "perfect" ROM that meets all needs for all users. I suggest you try a couple and see what works for you. However, be sure you have read all you can about flashing ROM's and when you think you understand it all, read it again. Always do a nanroid backup of your current working config before flashing. Store all backups and files you need to flash on your external SD-Card. Don't switch from one ROM to another without doing a full wipe. Use TWRP 2.8.x for your recovery.

Once again be sure you have a good understanding of the steps you need to follow before flashing any ROM. I see far too many sad pleas for help from users who jumped in too quickly and have bricked their devices. Do the research before you proceed. Don't expect to led by the hand but don't be afraid to ask questions if something is not clear. Good luck my friend.

I have been using AOSP for a while, and I'm happy with it (cuz it has awesome battery backup). However, AOSP's latest build now has battery drain issue, and I have to find another ROM that is bug-free and has good battery backup.

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamatso09:
I am using minimal os and it is daily drive material, no bugs and smooth. Now as far the battery goes I get about 4 hours SoT with mainly browsing and gaming using emulators for about 1 hour. Then again it depends on your usuage. As I found the key is to keep the brightness as low as possible.

ROMS I've seperated into category's (NOTE THIS IS IN MY OPINION)

Performance : Radium Redefined (5.0.2)bundled with Stellar Kernel (It aslo has amazing battery backup but i like it for its perfomance)

Battery : Fusion (5.1.1) with Halogen Kernel

Balanced : Minimal OS with Decipher Kernel

Overall : Titan Prime Anorexic bundled with Stellar Kernel (find this on the titan prime rom website, link in the TP thread)

Note except Minimal OS, all other ROM's ive mentioned, I've used Abhisheks battery guide (in general section of forum)

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagar846:
If you're going for a daily driver then I'd suggest you use stock+stellar kernel with xposed (Stellar Kernel+Amplify+PowerNap=Epicness). Minimal OS is good and all with balanced performance with decipher kernel but I'd still go with the stock.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikyilportiere:
Thanks you a lot! :D

So, where can I find a guide to unlock the bootloader, get root permissions and change the kernel on my Moto G 2014?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagar846:
Go to this link : http://xdaforums.com/moto-g-2014/general/xt1063-t3018818

Also try a stock based custom rom called Radium Redefined with Stellar Kernel (You won't need to flash xposed with this cause the battery backup is amazing, close to 6 hrs of screen on time)
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wolfcity:
I would recommend minimal os with decipher kernel (not a must have, the stock kernel does a nice job too) . It's a perfect daily driver, no bugs, good performance, good battery and enough customizing features but still "minimal" and not bloated with tweaks.

You can use Xposed with it too but my personal opinion is that xposed can make things worse instead of making them better. I have mixed experience with it.
