[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beavermjr:
Warranty Replace

I spoke to a friend who used to work for Verizon and she reminded me that since the phone is less than a year old, I can go into the store and get it replaced under manufacturer's warranty. Yay me.

I will back up the phone's apps and data with titanium backup. Is there a different program that does not require root? I'm asking because I have rooted KitKat on the phone and might want to try going to Lollypop, but am not sure if there's root for that. I guess it's time to dive in, get my hands wet and see just how far one can get with rooting. Also, I will have to return the phone to unrooted status before going in. Such a pain.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beavermjr:
Got replacement

I got a warranty replacement and have rooted android Lollypop on it. So happy.

I oden'd back to stock NCG and took all the OTA updates, did a factory reset and added a few apps.

It took the VZW employee less than 5 minutes to determine the phone was defective and in need of a replacement under warranty. The cool thing is that I didn't have to do any factory resets or anything else. The employee tried the test app on the phone and since the flicker is not something that can be tested for, sent me a new phone.

Hello,

I have an Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i and the hidden menu says:

[X] Network 0

[ ] Network subset 10

[ ] Service provider 10

[ ] Corporate 10

[ ] Sim 0

So what ever sim I put in it, it won't unlock. :(

Is there a way by USB to unlock the phone?
[Sprint LG G4] Revan365:
Hello, so I have the ls991 lg g4 on the newest zvb update (update had auto installed overnight). Are there any possible ways to roll back? I'm wanting to get root on this phone but now it seems like it will be impossible.
[Sprint LG G4] AlDollaz:
No. Currently, there is no way to roll back if you have ZVB.
[Sprint LG G4] Revan365:
Dang :/
[Sprint LG G4] AlDollaz:
I feel your pain. I'm extremely disappointed with my LG G4 purchase. I'll be sure my next phone has an unlocked bootloader for sure.

So this morning I was uninstalling Xposed and after that I tried to wipe cache and dalvik on my Moto G with CyanogenMod 13... After like 2 minutes wiping cache it just turned off and I tried to turn it on again but it kepts booting directly into the recovery (TWRP) and it doesn't do anything else. I tried formatting all and repairing cache with the recovery but it just keeps booting directly into it, can somebody help me?

Hi everyone, iv'e bougth an OPX and 2 RMAS later i found out that the problems my phone had were all due to software, knowing that i rooted and started getting into the whole android world.

Everything went butter smooth and the problems that i had i easily fixed due to the amazing threads people make, but i think i have an battery draining issue, but then again i always like to find problems where they dont actually exist ( Every tech gadget i get has a problem until i make 100 threads and realize its just me). So i started of by flashing the blu_spark kernel on stock OOS and it was running amazing, but since i had so much at my disposition i decided to try some stuff, i went ahead and install the aswhins CM 13 and some Gapps, it was buggy as hell and i was finding it weird until i realized i had flashed the very first version :p. After getting the lastest one evry thing was running awsome but my battery life was alot worse than it usually was (on the blu_spark one), so i went on the CM13 thread and asked what was the kind of SoT time and overall performance of the battery and someone told me it averages around 3 hours SoT but that he had also runned the blu_spark kernel on the default OOS and it was alot better, so i got really happy i didnt have any problem and it was normal, after a while i wanted to just make sure and i decided to use my backup (which is stock everything) and then proceded to flash blu_spark kernel, to my suprise the battery life time was worse then on the CM 13 ROM, but then again theres a chance i was just paranoid and because i looked my at my battery life so much it started to seem like it, so after knowing my story i would like to know your guys SoT and battery loss over nigth.

Do you think a 1% battery loss every 3-5 minutes of youtube is normal? Thanks!
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Odysseus Rex:
About 6-7 hours SoT, virtual 0,0% idle battery drain. If I go to sleep with 95%, I'll wake up with 95% (or 94, 93, if I have wifi or data turned on). Sorry, don't have screenshots here. Everything depends on your usage (I never play games, for example). If you know how to configure your kernel to your personal usage, you can get better life from your battery; search the threads of blu_spark and boeffla kernel to learn (and to see some ss from people with similar phone usage).

To virtual 0,0% of idle drain, you need Amplify; if you're interested, start here: http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/mod-nlpunbounce-reduce-nlp-wakelocks-t2853874

And here:

http://xdaforums.com/android/general/guide-0-0-hour-idle-battery-drain-stock-t2973588

I have to charge my phone each 2 days, more or less (I use Greenify too).

Oh, and 1% in 5 minutes of youtube seems pretty normal to me.

Hope it helps.
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Martim_Bento:
Ill give it a try, thank you.
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saurabh40629:
I am using boeffla kernel with cm13 and idle battery drain is pretty much 0%. Last night, before sleeping it was 56%, morning it was at same level. I always turn off wifi-data before going to sleep. I use greenify and amplify as well. On wifi, my SOT is around 4-5.5 hrs. In LTE, its 2-3 hrs. LTE drains battery faster, so can't blame any ROM for that. I am satisfied with it. Whatever you try, give it 2-3 days, initial days of setting a ROM is always bad on battery.

Hi all, relative newb here.

If there is an RTFM on this, I'm all ears, and won't mind one bit.

I want to take a stock SPH-L710 to CM13, and read the thread. First step is to install CWM. I will try this first step later tonight, but question I have is whether I need to be rooted first.

Reason I ask is prior to taking OH1, I "tried" to get CWM installed on ND8 version, and it wouldn't take. I tried first via Odin 3.07, allowing after the SUCCESS message to let the phone reboot itself, and when I shut down and tried to get into recovery mode, it would just go tot he stock "download mode" screen. i then tried to flash via Odin, and not allow reboot, pulled the battery, and restarted into recovery, and the stock download screen still came up.

In reading the thread about CM13, the thread says to load CWM. The version that is linked to on the clockworkmod page is 6.0.4.5, which is not the version I was trying to install above (it was an older version). Can I assume that installing this version will allow boot into the CWM recovery, so I can get to the next step?

I also searched, and found useful pages on how to convert a .img to at tar.md5, so I think I'm good to use the version on the cwm url.

I've searched hard to find any mention of not being able to boot into CWM, and it has something to do with OTA updates. Asking these questions now, since for some reason, I can only get this site up here at work, not at home using IE on a 32 bit machine.

TIA...and pointers to RTFMs greatly appreciated.

Eric
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lonelyskatter12:
The thing is CWM is outdated, i believe to install CM13 successfully, you'd have to install twrp.

Here is the link to the latest, grab the first tar flash it via odin & you should be good to boot into recovery to flash roms.

https://dl.twrp.me/d2spr/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ejaf:
Interesting news...thanks. The "Official" thread says that only CWM can be used. Of course, since that thread has a gazillion replies, I couldn't get through it. Of course...I just noticed that the thread I was reading was not specific to CM13, so I have to do more reading.

Main question....haven't got a hit on whether, after installing custom recovery, I need to root or not.

I am also at a disadvantage, since I can't get this site up at home, only at work, so I can't dowload anything while reading.

Thanks for the reply.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lonelyskatter12:
Yes, the official thread is CM13, you don't need Cwm, pretty much twrp supports marshmallow now.

And i believe you would need root.

If there's any way for you to be able to download the files, id be happy to give you step by step instructions :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ejaf:
THANKS BIG TIME!!!

Cool beans! I got TWRP 3.0.2.0 installed! And when exiting, I installed superSU, followed instructions, updated via play store, and disabled Knox.

I am in the process of downloading CM13 Nightly from cyanogenmod (cm-13.0-20160428-NIGHTLY-d2spr.zip). I don't see an "official" release there, so I guess a nightly is the best I can do if I want CM13 (weird though, since the unofficial thread started in November, and I only see nightlies starting in April.

So this is what's next correct?:

- wipe the device

- flash rom

- flash gapps

- reboot system

TIA...Eric

FYI...I couldn't take it anymore, didn't feel like tracking the IE issue, so I downloaded chrome ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lonelyskatter12:
Yeah the Unofficial thread was being maintained by a Developer, who stopped as soon as the officials came out.

And yes

1.) Wipe Data, Cache, System, & Internal Storage (So backup anything on there)

2.) Flash Rom, Gapps, SuperSu 2.71 (If you want root)

& should be good to go
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ejaf:
Just found this post here on the "Unofficial" CM thread, which causes me some concern:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65865323&postcount=207

This basically states:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

An example of the steps with the assumption someone was coming from the stock android with TWRP installed and everything to be flash stored on the external sdcard. Assuming the user is in TWRP to start.

Issue a full format of the following partitions, /system, /userdata, /internalstorage, /cache, /dalvik

Add the rom to the flash queue (eg. cm-13.0)

Add an android 6 compatible gapps to the queue

Add the Virgin fix to the queue

Run the flash queue (or flash the above file individually without rebooting)

Reboot into system for the first time

Once booted reboot into TWRP

Add the same rom zip to the flash queue

Add the Virgin fix to the queue

Run the flash queue (or flash the above file individually without rebooting)

Reboot to system

Everything should be functioning (at least mostly)

Enjoy

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Not sure about the APN stuff, so I guess i have to read more about that as well.

Thanks for getting me through the "baby" steps though...I'm infinitely further than I was before ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lonelyskatter12:
That's the order, now about the apn im not sure, i just use mine for wifi and stuff.

That Cyanogenmod build "04282016" wasn't running so well for me, so I'm on AICP for now.

But i would suggest, OctOs , AICP, or Exodus Roms. Those are the most stable roms for this device.

Same steps just different ROMs.

But i did hear Exodus gives you data right off the bat, so that'd be good to try
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ejaf:
Interesting...thanks for the tips. Hopefully I won't have to bother any of you all again, since I really don't have much in the way of knowledge to return ;)

FYI...was able to boot up into CM 12.1 over the weekend. Jury's still out on whether to go to a 6.0.1 based ROM, but appreciate all the help.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jargin:
I found the APN fix didn't work with the CM13 rom (I've used it previously with 12.1 fine). I also found that the build-in cm update failed on 20160505 nightly. Not sure if this was just that day or a known bug.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xrage01:
Hi dear v10 users. im here with a veird question again.

I was looking my FB group about v10 and some 1 Claims that: He was charging phone around 45 mins till some 1 use his charger to charge some other phone. since then his phone charging around 90 mins. . And yes i got same stuation. My phone charging around 90 mins and yes some 1 used my charger also. so that can be true ? 0o ?? if our original charger get used by some 1 else does it effect charging speed? btw it still says " fast charging " during charge.

Ty for answers.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngpettyboi:
Idk but my V10 doesn't charge NEARLY as fast with the stock charger as the Qualcomm Quick Charge compliant charger I have in my car. I've tested other phones on it too. Nexus 6 for example, it'll charge at a nice fast steady rate while I'm using the phone. If I perform the same scenario with the V10, it'll hardly move 1%. Real talk. Idk what the issue is.

Sent from my Gold and Black V10
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hasbrobot:
I came from the nexus 6 myself. Not only was I disappointed when I noticed there appeared to be a noticeable difference in charging time but I didn't understand why. Here's what I know, the v10 utilizes quickcharge technology however it only activates when the main screen is off/dormant. Unlike the N6 that quickcharges regardless. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...?
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neptun2:
Well i have given my charger many times to different people and did not see such behavior. About the screen on/off - i can't comment because when i charge the phone i usually don't use it anyway but it does not seem too logical. If you use the phone during charge it will have much higher consumption than when sitting on your desk so it is normal charge to take longer time this way.

Hey guys,

I find it a bit slow when i press on a button and a menu or window takes a 2/3 of a second to come up. It there any way to speed this up? i would ideally like the flicking through menu's to be as quick as possible.

Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ekw:
Increase font cache

To increase the font cache, speeding up font rendering at the cost of a bit of memory:

HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit = 16384 (DWORD decimal)

To change it back to the default:

HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit = 8192 (DWORD decimal)

You can set the value to pretty much anything you like

Enable FileSystem cache

To enable the FileSystem cache, speeding up overall performance at the risk of the cache not being written on a sudden reset:

HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache = 1 (DWORD decimal)

To disable again:

HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache = 0 (DWORD decimal)

Note that by default, the cache size is zero, and you will see no effect. See "Increase FileSystem cache" to incease the cache size

Increase FileSystem cache

To increase the file system cache:

HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize = 4096 (DWORD decimal)

To return the file system cache to zero:

HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize = 0 (DWORD decimal)

You can set the value to pretty much anything you like

Increase FileSystem filter cache

To enable the file system filter cache, speeding up overall performance with file mangement:

HKLM\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize = 4096 (DWORD decimal)

To return the file system filter cache to zero:

HKLM\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize = 0 (DWORD decimal)

You can set the value to pretty much anything you like

Got this from google<3

Okay you can set them all to 32768, unless you need the overabundance of RAM which you would probably not use.

[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBobMiller:
I think you should be using Bluetooth instead of NFC. I'm not familiar with any NFC headphones. Try going into the Bluetooth menu and turning it on then searching for your headphones.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IS33D34DP30PL3:
Ensure your NFC is on in your settings. Tap and holdthe NFC tag on your headphones with the middle of the back of your phone. Magic happens and now you're connected. Profit

They didn't back up though so when I factory reset it, it brings it right back to cyanogenmod. How do I get the original OS for the s3 back on it? Im new to this kind of stuff so I didn't even know where to look on the forums here. And the person I bought it from is no help, I think they didn't even know how they really did it.

That guide was a bit confusing for me, the links didnt work, but i donloaded odin v3.04 and i downloaded kies. what do i do from their? both those were suppose to download on the laptop right? not on the phone? sorry im really new to all this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
I need to know if you have the Sprint version (S960L) or the Verizon version (S968C). Most likely you have the S968C.

When you tell me your device model number, I can link you to your firmware and you can flash that via Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Unmarkedcivillian:
Oh sorry it was originally sch s968c, I appreciate you helping me out, I'm a nub when it comes to this stuff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Unmarkedcivillian:
can you tell me how to use odin? i downloaded it, but its got so much goin on in their haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
If you want to flash the stock firmware, you will need to go to Sammobile.com and enter your model number in the search feature there. It will lead you to your firmware, download it on PC.

Make sure you have installed "USB drivers for Samsung phones", you can find them with a Google search, or if you already have Kies installed then you've got the drivers.

On the device, go to system settings>developer options(if you don't see this in settings, you need to go to the "About Phone" option, scroll down to the "Build Number" and tap it at least 7 times to enable Developer Options). In developer options, turn on "USB debugging".

Charge your battery to at least 75%.

Once charged, press and hold the volume down+home+power buttons, at the caution screen, press up to enter download mode.

Open Odin(make sure Kies is closed and isn't running in the background, it interferes with Odin), connect the device to PC with device in download mode. If the device is recognized, you'll get a colored COMM# box. If you don't have that, try a different USB port, make sure your cable is the stock cable.

In Odin, select the AP or PDA button(older Odin has PDA button, newer Odin has AP button). Go to where you downloaded and stored the firmware on your PC, select it.

When you get back to the Odin screen, make sure the only options that are checked are auto reboot and F. reset time.

Click start, when it is done, you will get a green PASS! and the device will reboot, go through setup wizard and enjoy your device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Unmarkedcivillian:
you are the true MVP of the internet tonight! thanks so much for breaking it down for me haha ive asked all over, here and reddit and few other sites, no one would help me like that! the download for the firmware is going to be an hour from sammobile since im not paying for membership haha but i have work in the morning so ill let it run while i sleep, and do everything in the morning. ill post here tomorrow either in the morning or at night after work and let you know how it went! once again thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Unmarkedcivillian:
It said pass and then phone reboots without cyanogenmod, but its stuck at screen where it says A service of TracFone Wireless, did I do something wrong their?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
Did you make sure that the options I mentioned were set and ONLY those options when you flashed?

Try booting to stock recovery and do a factory reset and wipe cache partition in recovery then reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Unmarkedcivillian:
i had auto reboot and f reset time and PDA checked. booting it in stock recovery, factory reset, and wipe cache partition worked! thanks so much for all your help! i have one more question for ya though. the reason i wanted to delete cyanogenmod is because the camera wouldnt load and i couldnt save images and i wasnt able to go online using data, i could only use wifi. so when out all i could do was call and text, and the mms didnt work. any clue as to why?
