[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doublehp:
Hello.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 , GT-P5110, Android 4.1.2, JZO54K.P5110XXDMC2

I have a virus in the SYSTEM. I need to erase and format /system. User data wipe did not help.

Here is a screenshot of my recovery: I don't know where to go from here: I don't understand how to update to a more recent TWRP. This one won't let me change the ROM (only wipe user data). Odin does not seem to see the device. I did not find how to boot Fastboot partition. I only have this recovery screen, and a working adb shell. I have spent hours reading tons of thing; all dead end roads. Because Odin does not see the device, or tutorials don't explain how to update recovery from the point where I am.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott487:
My charge port is busted and I want to replace it but cannot find G900W8 (Canadian model) anywhere.

I read somewhere that I could use the G900T model daughter board.

Can anyone confirm this? Thanks!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DBlackFireD:
you can buy any charge port of any model, it is default from manufacture. ------- Galaxy S5 SM-G900F works aswell like i said.

you can't buy the charger port of Galaxy S5 New Edition because i believe it has different mAh and it has some pieces that does not have on S5 Old edition.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott487:
My model is the Canadian version Galaxy S5 - so you're saying I'd be fine no matter what version of the daughter board I buy?

A second question - I've noticed online you can buy just the silver micro-usb port... Would this be an easy fix? Does the port itself pop on and off the motherboard? Or is it hardwired / requiring lots of intricate soldering? If it pops on and off just like the flex cables do onto existing pins, then that seems like a much better solution - but I can't tell without taking the whole thing apart and no one discusses this as an option online - they all talk about replacing the daughter board.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
No.....it won't be fine.....this is something I know about....having had experience of this issue on a number of Samsung devices.....

You *do* need to match the board physically.....but not only that, you need to match the REV (revision) number from your existing board to the one you buy....

There will likely be a number of older/newer versions of the board, and in my experience they are NOT interchangeable.....

And as for replacing just the socket, this is something I have considered attempting in the past....but the simple truth is that the connectors are just too small to accurately hand solder....You'd need a very low power soldering iron with a needle point tip and a rock steady hand.

You'd also need a lighted magnifying glass to enable you to actually see what you were doing.

http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DBlackFireD:
in fact i believe they are default.

only matching the revision number. if you find an recent revision, that's fine. only not buying an old revision.

only what changes is the modem country code.

to change the usb port, you will need an soldering iron; 30w will be enough to do the work.

and experience how to solder.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott487:
Thanks - But I'm wondering what you think of this posting: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...0w8-charging-port-flex-cable-replacement.html

It's saying that Canadians (G900W8) should use the T version. That's what I'm hoping to confirm. Because I cannot find the G900W8 version online anywhere.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
[MENTION=5704614]DBlackFireD[/MENTION] There is simply no way of accurately soldering these contacts.....

I have all the practical hand soldering experience you can think of.....it can't be done.....There is a reason that these boards are assembled on automated production lines, and that is that computer controlled robots do not have shaky hands. If you try to hand solder the socket, you WILL end up causing other damage.

[MENTION=1639894]scott487[/MENTION] I understand that the W8 board may be hard to find.....it might well be the case that the board for the T variant is compatible....I had a look at the thread you linked to, and I noticed the lack of feedback as to whether it worked or not...

If it were me, I'd still try to source the W8 board, and keep the T board in mind as a last resort.

With regards to what has been said about the REV versions of replacement boards.....

There may be some truth about newer replacements being reverse compatible with older originals....but doing things the other way around *definitely will not* work.....

And getting the wrong REV version has been known to break functionality on other Samsung phones.......things like data transfer, signal strength etc; so these boards are NOT generic/default....

I still maintain that replacing your existing board with one that has an identical REV number should be considered as a first resort......

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scruffykid:
Hey everyone.

I was quite surprised to find a Huawei 'smart cover' included in the box of my HAM7 (Gold model). I'm usually not a fan of flip covers, but yet again I've never had a phone that actually utilizes it, so I thought I'd give it a go.

As you'd expect, when the lid is closed and the screen is turned on you will find the 'Smart View' mode, or whatever it's called. If you have some music playing you get a clunky music-controller on there, and you can answer calls with the cover closed. And here's where my frustration starts.

Firstly ,did they really spend time and resources building 'smart cover' functionality into the HAM7, only to give it 3 features? And secondly, why are there literally

no

customization options? On my 'smart view' the only thing displayed is the time, along with the crappy photo of some bridge as a background. It frustrates me endlessly that I cannot change a single thing about this. Not the content displayed, the position of the clock or even the background!

I would love to have my notifications show up here, along with (swiping to the left or right to reach several screens) the weather, some quick toggles and perhaps a calendar.

Does anyone know of any way ,be it via root apps or otherwise, to change at least the background of this seemingly pointless feature?

Cheers! :good:

Use A Retro Game Controller With Android

When playing emulated games, you'll get the best experience if you use an old school controller. I spent quite some time trying to find the port to plug in my old NES controller until I realized that there wasn't one! What a conundrum. Turns out there is a better way of doing this. You can buy Bluetooth enabled controllers that hook up with your Android. They have many that are designed to look and feel just like the controllers from back in the day.

Bluetooth controllers will usually cost you around $20 to $30. You can also use USB controllers which are considerably cheaper. You'll just need a USB OTG adapter to plug them in. I'll list some great retro controllers that will work on Android and post links to where you an buy them.

I'm looking for an app that as soon as there is no WiFi network connection would start WiFi tethering if possible, if not Bluetooth is OK.

The scenario is the following. While in house I keep my phone(lp 5.0.2), my watch ( full kk) & and my tablet (lp 5.0.2) on WiFi. As soon as I leave the house is like my phone to auto start tethering. I'd on WiFi because I could keep both the watch and the table with internet connection. On Bluetooth only one can have internet access.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] caltino:
Looking for a way to hit the mic button on the wired headset that comes with the TyTn to dial a number with a voice tag. I am using the leaked official WM6 rom which has the cyberon voice dialer working. What I haven't been able to do is launch the voice dial using the button on the mike. Even AE button mapper cannot pick it up as a button to be configured.

To do my homework, I searched using 8525, headset button, config, etc. but a) I got hits for other phones (ba, etc) and b) got a lot of posts on how to set up bluetooth phones, which doesn't apply in this situation. I found this cab ba_wm5_voice_dialer.zip but it didn't install complaining about insufficient rights, which I had never seen on a pocket pc. Maybe because it's for WM5.

Any help or links to previous threads on this would be appreciated. Right now, I have to take the phone out of my pocket to dial, which kind of defeats the purpose. Many thanks in advance.

Well, I tried those - thanks for the link. I get no feedback after I run the program whatsoever, so I guess it doesn't work. It does run though, since if you run it twice, it gives you energy levels- that much works, but the rest doesn't seem to.

I'm surprised dialing with the wired headset isn't supported out of the box since it's a part of the package, but oh well. I hope someone else has heard of something about this for the tytn.
[Samsung Galaxy S Duos] Peppermint_Gadget:
Hello. This is my first time to be posting on a forum.

So I recently installed a custom ROM on my old Samsung Galaxy S Duos. (GT - S7562)

I have an 8gb external sd card.

The ROM I have installed is PMP King Rom (http://xdaforums.com/s7562/development/pmp-sduos-pmp-king-rom-stable-t2829999)

It worked fine. The performance of my phone improved, but the only problem I keep encountering is the low phone memory. :confused:

I have no idea if it could possibly be from the sd card, or the custom ROM itself since it switched the internal and external memory. I'm planning that maybe I should install another custom ROM or buy another SD card. It really irritates me it keeps saying the memory is full when it really isn't. Is there a way to bypass it? Because I cannot access gallery, photos fail to save, and some apps even crash.

Could the problem be my external sd card?

[Samsung Gear S2] jeebugorn:
I know the AT&T S2 can work as a standalone device, but looking at the Verizon page it says "leave your phone behind..." but has a note underneath that saying that the S2 is a companion device and must be connected to a phone on the carrier's network. So I was wondering which one it is.
[Samsung Gear S2] optimummind:
It will. It's given its own phone number. But it's not like the AT&T NumberSync.
[Samsung Gear S2] merlin66676:
It gets its own number, but also uses the phones number when connected. You can also forward your phone to the gear number.
[Samsung Gear S2] darekz:
If it works like tmobile version (I assume it does) it can work as companion device or stand alone unit. If you are within Bluetooth range than watch acts as companion device and you can pick up phone call via watch or phone. If you come out of that range then gear automatically sets call forwarding from your phone to watch and your calls are routed to watch. Once you come back to Bluetooth range call forwarding is being disabled. Within settings you can disable call forwarding and you can use phone and watch as separate devices with separate phone numbers.
[General Questions and Answers] sanjay.saraf2000:
I own an ASUS Zenpad 370 CG phablet and a bluetooth headset Plantronics Voyager Legend. Android version is 5.0.2.

Here is my problem:

Earlier I was using this bluetooth with Samsung Galaxy SIII. The voice quality was great at both ends. But when I switched to Zenpad, I started hearing complaints from those with whom I was talking. I could hear them alright, but they complained of unclear sound.

I did the check by being at the other end. My wife called me, using the bluetooth, from SIII first and then from Zenpad. SIII sound was good, but Zenpad sound is faint. If she spoke up, I could hear her well. But at normal level of speech, I needed to strain my ear.

I checked bluetooth with Easy Voice Recorder and Skype. When I record with bluetooth on Easy Voice Recorder (Paid app), the voice is faint. But this app has a mic boost for bluetooth. When I boosted the mic, the sound came out loud enough and audio quality is also very good.

When I use bluetooth with Skype (Echo / sound testing service), my own voice (through bluetooth) played back to me is very clear.

I had one more interesting observation. I was talking to someone and needed to record the call. While talking to her, the sound quality at both ends wasn't great, but we could talk. But when I played back the recording, the sound quality of both of us was much better.

To me it seems that Zenpad's voice caller is somehow inferior to that in Samsung Galaxy SIII. I looked for bluetooth mic booster for voice calls. But there seems to be none such. I tried using other caller apps, but they also seem to use my built in app.

It seems that if I can somehow manipulate some settings in my caller app, or I can completely replace it with another caller app, I should be able to get very clear voice quality in Zenpad, like SIII.

What does the developer community here think? And what suggestion does it have, if any?

Thanks

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0xACE:
Hello.

I tried out the Nexus 5X in store today and had trouble turning on the video while keeping the flashlight turned on.

Could anyone here tell me if you're able to keep the flashlight turned on while recording 30fps video?

When I tried the camera in store it would only show the Flashlight symbol when I toggled into 120fps mode.

Edit: I would prefer that this all can be made in the stock app / stock setup. If there are other methods please let me know.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
With stock Google Camera (3.1.021) updated through the Play Store, I can turn on the flashlight before recording a video. Although once a video is started, no settings can be toggled until the video has ended. Just tried it for about 20 seconds and the flashlight stays on throughout the recording. Did you happen to notice if the phone was warming up as display phones usually do?

This Snapdragon 808 CPU throttles after sustained use to prevent overheating. I believe certain features, like the flashlight, also will not turn on if the battery is low.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0xACE:
Is this the latest version? and are you 100% sure you were not shooting in 120fps mode? Because when I tried it the flash button dissappears in 30fps mode.

I'm going back to the store to try it out some more.

If anyone can upload the latest apk it would be fine because I couldn't access the playstore when I was there.

This is fine as my current phone has the same issue, so I guess this is fine with me.

I didn't notice anything weird with the display phone, I've never seen a nexus 5x before-- therefore I have nothing to compare with.

How are display phones different? I will try the phone for a longer period next time I go there.

It's good that you mention it because I didn't consider this. Does the nexus 5x overheat when recording in 4k@30fps+flashlight?

I'm not even sure if it has a 4k@30fps mode but i feel like more than 30fps is a waste for my intended use. Quick google search seems to indicate it supports 30fps. I feel like 60fps would be more interesting than 120fps...
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Yes, the latest Google Camera update that I have is from November 17th, 2015. The flashlight works for both 30 and 120 fps in 720p and 1080p. After messing with the settings, I am certain you were using 4K. Switching to 4k recording disables the flashlight for 30fps but allows it for 120 fps.

I have heard there is a limit of maybe 7 to 10 minutes when recording in 4k. I can't say for sure as I do not record at all.

Edit: Display phones are either constantly charging or in use more so than when used by one person. So they would be warmer. Given that the Snapdragon 808 and 810 are already prone to overheating, being used in a display setting would make the CPU's more susceptible to throttling. But that is not the issue that you are seeing with the camera. The 30 fps flashlight is just unavailable in 4k recording.

[Xposed General] Portgas D. Ace:
Well, as you have to re-flash Xposed after updating your ROM anyway, you could simply flash the uninstaller.zip, update your ROM and re-flash Xposed. No need for temporarily disabling it.
[Xposed General] H@des:
that's a valid point but still if one wants to disable it.. How?
[Xposed General] Wakamatsu:
Pointless. OTA install script checks /system files to ensure that it is stock before applying. The presence of Xposed files would cause OTA to fail. Disabled Xposed files (whatever that means) would still nix the OTA.
