[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
You are on at least a 4.3 bootloader, you could be on a 4.4.2 bootloader. The warranty bit at 1 tells us that, audit13 will know for sure. (I am on the NE4 bootloader and my Warranty Bit reads 1.) But do not do anything that may downgrade bootloader and modem. It would be best to determine which before you proceed.

If you can boot into recovery mode and there is a custom recovery installed we may be able to get the specific versions installed. There is an excellent chance you have a custom recovery since your previous output shows the device has had a custom rom installed at one time. To boot into recovery, hold at the same time: Volume Up, Home, and Power.

If the phone boots into TWRP, a custom recovery, go to the Advanced Tab. Once there, select the Terminal Command tab. Enter these two commands:

getprop ro.bootloader
getprop | grep version.baseband

Do you know anything about what ROMs had been installed on it in the past? Only stock (doubtful), custom based on TouchWiz (Samsung's stock rom), a Cyanogen based rom, or an AOSP based rom? If on either of the last two, do you know if it was a Lollipop (Android 5.x.x) or Marshmallow (Android 6.0).

If it turns out you do not have a custom recovery installed, but it is a stock recovery, your solution may be as simple as doing a factory reset from within the stock recovery. This corrects more than one problem. It proves necessary at times when coming back from a Lollipop or Marshmallow rom to stock or stock based roms.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] z28green87:
im not sure what rom was used when i boot to the recovery mode all it says is wipe data/ factory reset and wipe cache theres nuthing in that menu that says or shows a custom rom
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] z28green87:
thxs for all the replys since ik the s3 is a old phone now ,, any help would be great . i forgot to mention that i have tryed sam mobile site to get the os and a few other places still at no avail , ive tryed so many recovery tools even skipsoft i think thats what its called
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Best thing to do in this case would be to try a factory reset and see if the phone boots.

If the phone doesn't boot, I recommend flashing twrp and a custom rom to at least confirm the bootloader and that the phone functions on a basic level.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] z28green87:
i have tryed to factory reset ,, could anyone help me do the custom rom thing i have some what of an idea on how to do it but if someone could explain in detailed steps with working 100% virus clean links would be GREAT :):):):)

The tech has been progressing so fast these days. We have incredible smartphone these days with a lot of potential. But I wonder sometimes, if Android has done anything to localize the Voice Mails.

Like, is there an app or something to enable people to RECORD incoming calls, without having to personally attend each call? Like, an answering machine should automatically record a message from incoming call when we're bit available.

IS THERE SUCH A THING?

Hello All,

I was just wondering if any of you have come across the following problem.

My wife and I both have HTC P4350 devices that are not SIM Locked in any way.

When we were using WM5 the devices worked perfectly, but with WM6 after a while, the ring-tone (and all audio that we play on the device) is played faster (and at a higher pitch) than usual. It sounds almost as though someone is spinning the LP record too fast ;)

Has anyone here come across the same problem? If so... do any of you know of a solution as it is a really annoying fault.

Before anyone asks.... I have found this problem on 3 devices now, so I don't think that it is a problem with the actual devices.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Nicholas Cross
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] tariqyounis:
ring tone

I have Imate JAmin. It also was working finewith mw5 but with theupgrade to MW6 I am facing the same problem spicialy with MID ringtones

any solution?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] nebc101:
Hello,

I am sorry to hear that you also have the same problem. Sadly, I don't have a solution, and no-one else on this site seems to have this problem.

I wish that I could answer it!!

I have since tried the update on a third device and it also has the same problem.

It is definitely a problem with the ROM!!

If you hear of a solution, I would LOVE to know about it.

Thanks for you info.

Nick
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] nebc101:
Hello again,

I was just wondering if you have found a solution to the audio problem yet.

Could the problem be due to the network provider? Which network provider do you use?

I have now tried the upgrade with 3 different machines, and they all have the same problem.

Is it even possible that this type of problem could be caused by the network?

Any opinions would be gratefull!!!!

Hello I am also having this issue with a Tmobile Dash. I am using Kavanah's WM6.1 ROM.

I was wondering is this an issue that can be fix by changing something in the registry? I did a hard and soft reset on this device. It worked the first time I played an mp3. Once I used it a second time it started playing fast.

I've been searching the forums and I landed on this threat. I will keep on searching.

when it comes to installing software, rooting, etc.? I'm an absolute newb about this but I'm close to buying an XT1040, but was hoping to run it on CM13 when (if) a stable version is released. Being that the XT1045 is the US model, and therefore more popular, if there are differences in software then I don't think I would be able to install CM13, right?

[Amazon Fire Phone] Darcw0lf:
I asked this back in August and received no reply, so I guess I will try again. With the stock amazon fire OS I cannot get the hotspot to work, it turns on, says it's enabled, I then try to connect any device (have tried many pcs and tablets) windows says it's taking longer than usual to connect, then eventually connects. But then it will not get me internet access, just local only.

Now here's what makes me believe this is a fire OS issue, if I put on CM11 it works fine, no issue at all, but honestly CM11 is too buggy for me and despite what is said here, I get a better signal with the Fire OS. I am using Straight Talk, and using the apn provided by the sim/phone. I can get on the internet fine on the phone, just nothing for a hotspot. Anyone have any ideas? :confused:
[Xposed Framework Development] F43nd1r:
Does anyone know where I can find code handling the current live wallpaper engine / view? I am trying to extract the live wallpaper for further processing (e.g. blurring).

I already found an entrance point: If the LWP used the standard com.android.internal.view.BaseSurfaceHolder supplied by the base class android.service.wallpaper.WallpaperService.Engine i can hook into lockCanvas and unlockCanvas to grab the image. But most LWPs do not use this, so I need another (more general) solution.

I thought about hooking all subclasses of android.service.wallpaper.WallpaperService, but AFAIK that's not possible without loading every single class and check if it's a subclass.

Any ideas?

Implementation for reference:

public class Hook implements IXposedHookLoadPackage {

@Override
public void handleLoadPackage(XC_LoadPackage.LoadPackageParam loadPackageParam) throws Throwable {
final Class<?> engingeClass = findClass("android.service.wallpaper.WallpaperService.Engine", loadPackageParam.classLoader);
final String packageName = loadPackageParam.packageName;
final Class<?> surfaceHolderClass = findClass("com.android.internal.view.BaseSurfaceHolder",loadPackageParam.classLoader);

findAndHookMethod(engingeClass, "getSurfaceHolder", new XC_MethodHook() {
private boolean isFirstCall = true;

@Override
protected void afterHookedMethod(MethodHookParam param) throws Throwable {
Field field = findField(param.thisObject.getClass(), "this$0");
WallpaperService service = (WallpaperService) field.get(param.thisObject);
WallpaperManager wallpaperManager = WallpaperManager.getInstance(service);
if (isFirstCall && wallpaperManager.getWallpaperInfo().getPackageName().equals(packageName)) {
isFirstCall = false;
XposedBridge.log("Got context. Set up hooks...");
hook(surfaceHolderClass,service);
}
}
});
}

Bitmap bitmap;
Canvas internalCanvas;
Canvas originalCanvas;

private void hook(Class<?> clazz, final Context context) {
hookAllMethods(clazz, "lockCanvas", new XC_MethodHook() {
@Override
protected void afterHookedMethod(MethodHookParam param) throws Throwable {
originalCanvas = (Canvas) param.getResult();
bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(originalCanvas.getWidth(),originalCanvas.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
internalCanvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
param.setResult(internalCanvas);
XposedBridge.log("Locked Canvas");
}
});
findAndHookMethod(clazz, "unlockCanvasAndPost", Canvas.class, new XC_MethodHook() {
@Override
protected void beforeHookedMethod(MethodHookParam param) throws Throwable {
originalCanvas.drawBitmap(bitmap,0,0,null);
param.args[0] = originalCanvas;
Intent intent = new Intent("com.faendir.lwpextractor.WALLPAPER_CHANGE");
ByteArrayOutputStream bs = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG,100,bs);
intent.putExtra("bmp",bs.toByteArray());
context.sendBroadcast(intent, "com.faendir.lwpextractor.RECEIVE_WALLPAPER_CHANGE");
XposedBridge.log("Unlocked Canvas");
}
});
}
}

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srw985:
My G4 was built in May and recently developed some weird issues. Reboots every 30 minutes or so, and will only charge intermittently. Charges for 30 seconds, stops for 30 seconds, charges 30 seconds, stops again.

Weirdly it seems to be charging to 'full' faster than before, and the battery life has become terrible despite being in airplane mode as I've put my simcard in another phone. I've tried a complete wipe and flashed stock but no improvement.

I was under the impression I'd voided the warranty by unlocking the bootloader but I've just read the LG unlocking page which contains the following text, implying there may still be some warranty coverage.

"As we cannot guarantee the proper operation of our hardware with custom software, we are not able to maintain the full scope of warranty for your device after you have unlocked the bootloader. Because of that we have a responsibility to let you know that defects which may result from, or were caused by custom device-software may not be covered by LG warranty."

I'm in the UK and about to send my phone off to LG for repair, anyone have any experience with this? Will they just knock it back straight away for being unlocked or will they replace it anyway as it looks like a hardware issue?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Presidente81:
Did you buy it outright or via your network?

In my experience, networks in the UK are a lot more understanding of unlocked bootloaders than manufacturers. I unlock the bootloader on pretty much all of my devices and whenever I've sent a device back, they've never batted an eye lid.

I've mates who have had similar experiences on Vodafone.

JUST FOR THAT!!!! good luck with an unlocked bootloader, let me know how you get on...
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melasuda:
I actually broke my phone and couldn't fix it myself. I had an unlocked bootlader and had flashed TWRP and other stuff. It clearly said "Bootloader unlocked!" when turning it on.

So... I bricked it and couldn't fix it myself so I had to send it for repair. I sent it to Phone House (Spain, I live here) and they said they couldn't fix it, so they sent it to LG. They told me that after some time I'd receive a SMS with the cost of the repair. I was scared it would be too high but I had no other option.

Two weeks go by and I receive a SMS from LG saying "your phone has been fixed and you can pick it up from the store you left it." I was confused as **** because I thought my warranty was voided but it apparently wasn't.

Either way my phone was fixed and I didn't have to pay anything.

Anyone know of a way to stop the WiFi hotspot from being turned off every time I get a call/lose data? Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] SayWhat10:
Old post I know but I have the same issue. I'm coming from a LGGFlex (and Flex 2) that when I was using hotspot, if i got a phone call, the tether would stop of course, but after the phone call, the hotspot would automatically start working again. Now when a call comes in it turns completely off, so i have to go back into hotspot settings and turn it back on. Very aggravating . Is there a fix?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] weavr:
I'm guessing maybe it turns off because of the note's inability to use data while on a call. Not sure about it turning itself back on after ending the call...haven't really been using hotspot since getting my note.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] SayWhat10:
naw my last 2 phones were sprint spark compatible, so they'd disconnect when on phone call (unless on that spark band which is nonexistent it appears in my area). Bascially the hotspot would just freeze while on a phone call, but again, once I hang up, it would just start to tether again with no interaction. Now a big notice comes up saying hotspot has ended. Then I have to go back in to turn it on. Any auto script?
