[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
In order for OTA updates to function, the parts of the firmware must match each other, and the firmware must have the same CSC as originally installed on the device. For example, my S4 originally was from O2 (CSC O2U), but when I got it off Swappa it had the CSC of SIM installed. I would need to install the O2-branded firmware back on to the device in order for OTA updates to function.

If you do not know what the original CSC was, either because the phone was a "hand-me-down" or was purchased used, then OTA updates will not function and you will need to use Odin to update.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ankit0141:
Can u share the release date of the stock firmware u downloaded?? Coz last stock firmware was released on 17.4.15 for 5.0.1 for i9500..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krasCGQ:
It doesn't matter. Because we look on firmware version, not release date.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calinoii:
So ,can I change my CSC ? Or is there any way to find out what was the original one? Any other things that need to match in order to update via OTA? Or you kinda say it's impossible to do that if I already modified the original software.Btw I have a i9505
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calinoii:
So can I achieve what I want? Or it's kinda impossible now that I modified the software before?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krasCGQ:
To identify what's the latest firmware for your region, use your hometown's CSC code (region code) and look for a new version available.

Like I9500UBUHOI1 for region ARO, I9500XXUHOH7 for region SER, and many more. If you're unsure, check your CSC code by entering Recovery mode or use an app like Phone Info.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=4299685]calinoii[/MENTION]: Many S4 boxes will have the CSC on them as part of the Samsung merchandising code, though mine did not. If the box does not have it, or you don't have the box, the only way to get the correct CSC is by parsing the IMEI and finding out which carrier purchased that device. imeidata.net used to have that option available, and it was how I found out that my device was originally from O2. They took it out, and I'm not aware of any replacements. Try contacting your carrier, as they may be able to provide that information.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calinoii:
so I checked on sammobile and the csc for my firmware (I9505XXUHOJ2) is I9505XXHOJ1. Maybe it has been installed with the firmware?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I guess I wasn't clear. When I say "CSC of the phone", I'm referring to the three digit carrier code some of the devices have. For example, my phone I discovered had the model number of GT-I9505ZKAO2U. The carrier code of my phone is the last three digits of the model number. It therefore is O2U, and on sammobile.com I would narrow down my search for ROMs using that code to get the correct ROM for the device.

The firmware has its own CSC code, but that cannot be used to determine the phone's CSC. You either need the model number of the phone as printed on the box, or you need to find someone who can research the IMEI and tell you what carrier the phone was originally sold to.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krasCGQ:
No, that's probably modem or baseband version. Like Strephon said before, it refers on latest 3 digits on your phone box. Like my Galaxy S4 is GT-I9500ZWAXSE, so this phone is for Indonesian markets. Third party app might refer it into installed CSC codes like I install Latin American firmware into my phone and it's changed into GT-I9500ZWATTT. It mostly refers to region like region CHN for China, ARO for Argentina, etc.

CSC that always mentioned on the firmware details is actually multi-CSC. Like on SEA I9500XXUHOH7, it's multi-CSC version is I9500OLBHOH1 and Latin American I9500UBUHOI1 is I9500UUBHOE2. Multi-CSC applies one of CSC codes that matches your phone (like I download ARO firmware but after installing and wipe cache, CSC code installed is TTT instead of ARO).
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vbracer:
Hi I have a Galaxy Ace 2 and I have the fantastic ROM from 'Ace2Nutzer Kernel 151108 CM11 150714'.

My question is with regards to getting notifications while using my home Wi-Fi under these conditions:

Connect to WiFi network, then turn off your screen, walk away from your router/outside (to lose connection), then come back inside. It doesn't notify you of new emails/viber until you turn your screen back on. (Only when you turn your screen on does the WiFi detect and phone beeps with notifications showing).

Why? It is as though the phone does not detect your WiFi when in sleep?

[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mehrsau:
Hi Guys,

I have to use an old app, designed for Android 2.x, which still uses these ****ty three dots on the right bottom site to enter some settings, while using software navigation bar.

Now, I really like the invisible capacitive buttons and would like to continue using them. On the other hand, I also need to use this menu every now and then.

As the OPX is not heaving a menu button by default, like Samsung phones, what can I do?

Any advice?
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubbl3:
If you are rooted then use Xposed + Force 3 dots menu, otherwise I wouldn't know a way to force that.
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xda_dentex:
Yes, I noticed the same thing in Firefox. On the stock OS, it seems impossible to assign the "open menu" function to one of the buttons, (I mean with i.e. long press) while (if I'm not wrong) I had this set before the last ota update.

Hi,

does someone know if there is a bug in windows media player?

Because with my t-mobil mda compact i could play wmv's with 320x240 350kByte/sec. Now with my O2 Tera i cant. It runs only with 3 fps.

( but with the core player i can play xvid files with the same sice and bit rate smoothly )

( But i can't use xvid files, because i have the best ever video recorder software on the world, that could record all my favoried movies and tv-shows, without any problems - it only works. And this program only generate wmv's )

Thanks

Hello guys

So I accidentally dropped my note 4 into water. I dried out my phone completely and everything is working as before except the power button. It was working for a while but then it definitely died but it still does the 'click' sound (might not be so important). Do you think that its replacement would fix it , since I do not have a chance of turning on/of, restarting etc?

Thanks all for answer

After got my phone back from repair, an older version of Android 5.1.1 was installed. So I have flashed my Xperia Z3 with a stock 5.1.1 FTF, the 23.4.a.1.232 MEA.

Thanks but in the meantime I have flashed my phone with the 232 Nordic version. In there the 4g(preferred)/3g/gsm is normally available, finally. I have a fine phone again and as always happy with my Z3. And, lessons learned, never flash a MEA ftf anymore.

[General Questions and Answers] jamos316:
Hi guys. Help greatly appreciated.

I bought a Cenovo MiniPC from Gearbest 2 months ago and from day 1 I've been getting blue screen errors. I immediately reported this to Gearbest and as you can imagine with the time difference between here (Sweden) and there (China) I was getting slow responses. Cut a long story short they 1st offered me a $20 refund from a $90 device, I accepted at the time as the errors have not appeared for over a week and thought it could be the end of it. 2 weeks after this the errors came back and it wasn't just blue screen on startup but it would freeze up during a session. I again reported this demanding for a full refund and they refused. I opened a dispute with PayPal and after a while they offered me a further $20 which I refused, they then sent me an email and said if I close the dispute they will give me a full refund. I was hesitant whether this was a scam but I went along with it and to their word I got a refund 3 days later.

After I got my refund I thought I may as well try and fix it myself now so I started in BIOS and fiddled with some switches for the emmc, one was 'secure erase', I don't know what was going through my head or what I thought the outcome would be but I enabled it and restarted. Now it just boots into BIOS and I am guessing the reason is that the emmc is now blank.

So ive now got a minipc with a blank emmc, I have loaded a bootable copy of Windows 10 setup to a usb and forced a usb boot in the bios but nothing happens.

I have opened the case to look for a emmc card I can take out and put in my laptop to reformat with an os but I couldn't find anything, there was a metal grill on one side that looks like it is hiding stuff and it is impossible to lift the grill off.

There is a tf card reader on the side so i am thinking that I can extract a Android image onto the card and boot from the card but I am not sure how and whether it will work.

Can i get some assistance in this please.

[General Questions and Answers] nyaneko:
Hi !

Did anyone got a chance at installing another os ?

I have a Cenovo mini pc 2 and I had troubles with sound. I had no issue for a week or two and then (maybe windows update, who knows) the sound would switch to the speakers output instead of the hdmi one. (it was plugged on my tv) so I decided (stupidly) to uninstall the audio components with the hope that windows would redetect and reinstall them with better drivers. Well, that didn't work and now in my device manager are two unknown components which don't work and I have no sound at all. If anyone found the global drivers for the device, or could make me a screenshot of their devices panel...

In the meantime I would probably try my luck to install openelec or kodibuntu on it but I couldn't manage to boot on bios. Did anyone tried using the Advanced startup option of windows 10 ?

[General Questions and Answers] xdevi1:
I have a Cenovo Mini PC 2 with 2GB/32GB. BIOS/EFI/set-up is accessed via pressing F2 after boot. Sometimes it will accept the F2 request, sometimes not. Not sure if this is an issue related to the keypress timing after boot being critical, or the unit being generally fussy (maybe selection of which of the 4 + 1 USB sockets for keyboard is critical?). Only wandered around the BIOS settings a few times but there was all manner of Android-specific options available.

Strangely, when the F2 key is accepted, a message is flashed briefly on the screen saying "Esc key pressed" or similar, as if the "Esc" key was the BIOS access key.

The NexBox T11 InsydeH20 UEFI / BIOS / set-up options are near identical to the Cenovo Mini PC 2. There is a video walkthough of the Netbox T11 Setup Utility although it does not mention the very first screen and options seen when F2 is pressed. The Cenovo Mini PC 2 very first screen titled "First Page" can be viewed at

I initially had issues attempting USB boot of Macrium Reflect with my Cenovo Mini PC 2. Eventually solved by one or more amendments of changing brand of USB stick, using Rufus to generate the bootable USB stick via formatting to FAT32 with 4096 bytes cluster size, and disabling fast UEFI in settings. USB stick was inserted into the Mini PC 2 and UEFI / BIOS was accessed by pressing F2 immediately after boot. From the first setting screen, "Boot Manager" was selected and the USB device was visible and able to be highlighted to boot from.
