Hi All,

Ive currently got a Samsung A300-F A300FXXU1AOAB (South Africa)

Kies does not pick up the software update, and when i go the actual software update it does nothin,

for some reason my device status shows custom but my phone was never rooted, im assuming this is why it refuses to update.

Ive tried to burn google about this firmware version, but no luck, so we've managed to update another A300FXXU1AOAB to lolipop and Ive found the correct update for this firmware is A300FXCU1BOEC :good:

So if you're like me and forced to used odin, I hope I have helped you.

Off-topic :eek:

I have issues like insane battery drainage, device shows charging when the flash light is on, the phone doesnt always charge when powered on, i assumed its the cable or usb port but the phone charges fine and fast when its off. Phone gets very hot!

I will provide feedback if lolipop has resolved these issues once Ive done testing.:)
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] waynemodz:
Update

Ok after further digging , it appears my Rom Status was on "CUSTOM" cause i downloaded an app to make the bootup silent,

if your rom status is on custom, the device will not allow u to update,

Its not confirmed but i believe this was the problem.

DO NOT ROOT

Do not root with "CF-Auto-Root-a3lte-a3ltexx-sma300f"

It will work for a day or 2 then it gives u an error, Seandroid not enforcing, tap here to reboot...

u tap it, and the phone wont boot up.

This has happened now twice... You will have to wipe data, and then reload 4.4.4 then update.

Conclusion

Battery life has doubled,

whatsapp doesnt give me backing up messages on powersave anymore...

5.0.2 is very stable, the OS just operates more smooth,

The A3 is a very pleasing phone on Lolipop. on Kitkat it feels like a knockoff flagship phone.

The only issue i have with Lolipop, that when u on wifi, it sometimes forget to reinforce mobile data, u have to reboot.

Hope this helps someone out there
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] DagMa8:
In the previous post you said that there was an insane battery drainage! Now battery life has doubled..what was the problem?? I'll want to pass to lollipop, but many users said that kitkat is really better than lollipop about battery life
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 General] Lykan770:
Many users said that but for me Lollipop works perfect

Maybe it is because my A3 is sm-a300fu and it has 1.5 gb ram but others have 1gb

Are they actually worth it? How does the kevlar one feel, does it feel just like plastic? What about the wood ones, I was thinking about getting the black apricot one but was thinking how it feels, are they textured and do they feel nice? Thanks :P

Edit: Just saw a little disclaimer saying that it increases the width a bit and so cases may not fit, is this actually true or they just saying it to make sure?
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J_Dutch:
I had the bamboo cover, it was very slippery. Especially switching from the sandstone one. And yes with the bamboo cover I could not fit it into a third party flip cover. So I ended up selling it already.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackmacbunton:
I have all of them and i love the kevlar one its almost like a soft touch rubber feel but hard i really recommend it, and yes they do increase the depth of the phone but some cases fit most dont though but then again why buy a case to cover the beauty of the back plate?!
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Banana4Life:
Kevlar best? How is the black apricot one, could it be recommended over the sandstone one. Also think theres a case that just covers the edge of the phone, leaving the back to touch
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Banana4Life:
Not worth it then?
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andretan:
I have the black apricot one and I love it... would have gone for the rosewood one if it was in stock...
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J_Dutch:
No, not for me.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexeiz:
I like that Kevlar feels slightly soft. OP2 looks more premium with Kevlar.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Banana4Life:
Would you recommend it over the normal sandstone black one
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexeiz:
Absolutely.

12/31/20: Important update: XDA Labs if officially discontinued. Read about it here.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi everyone,

We (at XDA) have been working on something. :eek:

This is XDA Labs. The name isn't final, and this is not the "official" launch... but we are (quietly) giving you guys a chance to try it out so we can get some feedback. So....what is it?

First and foremost, it's a speedy way to access the forums (ad-free!). You'll see a lot that's familiar with XDA One, because we merged the code into Labs and made a handful of much-needed improvements.

Second, it's a new way to access all the Xposed modules you love.

And third, it's a way to distribute apps-- and eventually all sorts of stuff that people upload to XDA. It is 100% pro-developer in that 1) we allow all types of apps (including stuff not allowed on Play), 2) we don't remove apps without warning and without communication to the developer, 3) we enable developers to sell apps, receiving 100% of the proceeds directly, 4) we accept Bitcoin payment, which is fast, easy, and low cost, and 5) we utilize alpha, beta and stable release channels so devs can have control in how they distribute apps to users. :highfive:

If you are a developer and want to add your app, go here: https://labs.xda-developers.com/

Labs is discontinued. Read about it here.

Otherwise...use the app, and tell us what you think! Again, Labs is very much Beta right now so keep your expectations in check! :D

I just uploaded the debug build to the second post. It's the one with -debug in the name. I really appreciate feedback on this app, but I definitely need more info when you guys report issues. The more info the easier it is for me and the quicker the issue gets fixed.

Thanks :highfive:

A way to organize them so we dont have to scroll through dozens of them to find what we want.

I would like to see them by time as we did, now on labs the readed threads go to the end of the unread threads.

Option to see who thanked.

I know its alfa, just suggestions, keep up te good work!

[Android Apps and Games] bravonova:
Thanks buddy. Got it. :)
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Not API limitations, we just wanted to get it in the app sooner than later so we just switched the URL. 5 mins of work vs. a week of work.

Maybe cache got cleared, the avatar is stored in your cache and won't re-fetch if its been cleared (either by you or sometimes from an Android flash, etc)
[Android Apps and Games] MSF Jarvis:
So I clear data, and login to get it back?
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Yep. I think just logging out & logging back in will re-fetch it, no need to wipe data.
[Android Apps and Games] NYLimited:
The cool thing about this app? It told me about the update, downloaded and installed it long before I saw this post! :good:

And 15 more than I can.. :rolleyes:

Indeed... :(
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Hi all,

Thanks for this new update.

[MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION], I have a little request: later, could it be possible to have in-app download of the debug version EVEN for official release when we have "Labs tester" test build option enabled?

I had debug version (test build) before the 1.0.3b, I've downloaded in-app this new version but the regular version was downloaded. Then, I've downloaded the 1.0.3b debug version from download tab.

I've very proud to be a member of the translation team and the tester team as well.

Thanks to all of you guys. :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Thanks for your help dude!

Yea don't sweat it, I have a debug test build comin' out tonight for you guys <3
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
You're welcome :)

Sorry if I wasn't clear, I know I can have the debug version when a test build is out, I meant it could be also the case for official release (not test builds)? Is it possible for a future version?
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Not easily with the way the API is setup at the moment :(
[Android Apps and Games] Jole7:
A big THANKS for the update it works great!!!

Download tab? What download tab? I would love to be able to download the debug version from the app.

Because clicking on the download link just displays an error about parsing the url. See screenshota and logcat.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I meant clicking on devDB downloads tab link.

In my case, I open the link with my internet browser, not xda labs. I also have the parse URL error (known issue) but the internet browser opens and I can download the apk.

Please check my screenshots.
[Android Apps and Games] Maxr1998:
Great new release, [MENTION=2637227]blk_jack[/MENTION]!

Working fine so far. :) Only issue I have is that the "Anzeigen" text in the new-release nav-drawer item exceeds the button and gets cropped and multi-lined. Maybe you can make the button a little wider.

I suggest just using values-es as the folder name and not copying it btw :P
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
If you could show me a screenshot that would help a lot thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Maxr1998:
Here you are.

Btw, I love the new intro screens! They are really sweet :D
[Android Apps and Games] Maxr1998:
Just for fun, I created a little java application which can get the thanks counts of a user, since XDA Labs can't display how many thanks a user has given to others. Now I could finally ditch the last reason to install Tapatalk from time to time! ;)

I'm attaching the jar, execute it from command line with your xda user id as parameter (the one from the url when you're at your profile), e.g.

java -jar XDAThanksParser.jar 5222551

I will upload the source if you (and especially Jeff!) are interested.

It's actually just one little java class, the huge size comes from the Apache HttpComponents libraries.
[Android Apps and Games] Reechings:
Just installed XDA labs and have to say great job! Is there any way to make it only show unread subscribed threads? I know that the unread show bold but I would prefer the already read to be hidden completely if possible. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
How would one access their subscribed threads when there's no notifications if they were hidden?
[Android Apps and Games] Reechings:
I guess you're trying to achieve something different than Tapatalk anyways but I do like how you can go to the subscribed threads and choose to show only unread or not.
[Android Apps and Games] DumF0rGaming:
Too unintuitive. I guess there would be only an option for unread threads to go first
[Android Apps and Games] Reechings:
It looks like that's the way it works at the moment. Either way always nice to have another program as an alternative to Tapatalk.
[Android Apps and Games] [] AL []:
I understand that their are open issues with quotes and all, but I thought this one was worth mentioning (I expect no reply ... or flaming please):

on this reply I've got: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1523691&p=66089093, on XdaLabs (1.0.3b) I can only see my original post fully-quoted twice and nothing from the actual reply itself.

[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Yeah, this kind of issue happens with XDA Labs when we quote a post which contains a CODE BBCODE. I've already reported it HERE

Stay cool, no flame on you :) :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] Genericxx:
Great app! Fiddled around with it for a few weeks and have to say that it's getting better and better with every update. Meanwhile it has completely replaced Tapatalk for me. Forgive my question, coz i haven't tried out this yet, but can this app completely replace xposed installer? As far as i have seen, users are able to activate or deactivate xposed modules, thus i guess furthermore only the xposed framework itself will be needed. Or am i getting things wrong?

[Android Apps and Games] linuxct:
Hi, I'm one of the Spanish translators. I just contacted XDA at Twitter and they requested me to write down here this issues I found:

First one is that I've realized now, with the app translated, that this string "filter_list_recent" is used for both Apps and Xposed Modules. The thing is that, a module in spanish is a male noun, so translation would be '%s actualizados recientemente', but for Apps, it's a female noun, so translation would be '%s actualizadas recientemente'. Can I please request an extra string for that?

And secondly, there are some flags missing in the Translators section, particularly Bulgarian, Czech, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian and Spanish. If you could add them, that'd be great.

I'm currently fixing some translations now that I can fully see the context of them. They'll all be fixed in a couple of hours.

Great job on making this application, and good luck :)
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Yes, the same problem exists in french for this filter_list_recent string ("Recently Updated %s").

Also, same problem about the string Install_filter_all_apps ("All %s"). We need 2 different strings:

- one "All" for Apps (female noun). In french = "Toutes les"

- and a second "All" for Xposed modules (male noun). In french = "Tous les"

I guess a lot of other languages are concerned.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
It can't replace the Xposed framework itself, which, since 5.x needs to be flashed. It can, however, replace the installer app entirely. I personally just flashed the framework and I use labs exclusively.

Hm this looks like an Android 5.0 bug. I'm going to throw in a change that may fix it in the next test build so please opt into those and let me know in the thread or on IRC thanks!
