Thanks for your help.

I've seen a bigger battery being fitted to a smartphone but a camera? I've bought a phone with a Sony IMX124 sensor and I saw the connectors on it and the IMX300 on the Xperia Z5 and they were exactly the same. Is it possible to replace the camera with a better one? (if this post is in the wrong section please admin nove it or tell me)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vallhalla:
Hi everyone,

I'm currently ussing the back-to-n00t v9 ROM (KitKat) together with Boeffla Kernel for a pretty long time. It was good at the beginning, although the rom had a few bugs (like the mobile data button not working sometimes and roaming mode disabling when disabling data causing roaming warnings). But for some time already, I'm getting kinda frustrated. The phone likes to lag sometimes, like when going out of some app to the home screen and everything loads again causing a terrible lag, or all the apps close in the background. Also many times when I want to unlock the phone I have to wait a few seconds because nothing works (can't draw the pattern). I'm looking for some simple ROM (not any Marshmallow stuff etc, I want to maintain stability and performance). I'd love to get some better performance, without lagging and having problems with the keyboard (like it's not showing because of low RAM or stuff like that). I'd also like to get some good battery life althought this isn't that of a priority because I have 2 batteries.

I don't want to flash Cyanogenmod because I want to keep the TouchWiz camera and stuff.

Which ROM would you suggest me? I saw some website recommending Revolutionary S5, although I don't like the idea of trying to make an old phone like the some new model, they claim it's super smooth and optimised. Is that true? I don't want to waste any more RAM because of some ****ty features from S5 that I'll never use.

Thanks in advance! Hope you can help me.

same here, I use RR + boeffla but it is sucking one and half battery a day, inactivity battery consume is the same as Whatsapp I use a lot, it seems to be active when not active.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] 52brandon:
About a month ago I was browsing a website called "dudeiwantthat.com" that has all sorts of random cool stuff that I've often never heard of (I love that site). And I came across a reversible Micro-USB adapter, I believe the brand then was called McFlip, or something similar. I checked out and it didn't explain much, like whether it supported Quickcharge or anything like that. I was in the middle of something and kinda forgot about it. A couple days ago it popped back into my head and I asked a handful of friends if they've ever seen anything like that and they were all shocked to hear it existed. So I just googled the term to see if there were any others that ARE QuickCharge and found this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Cambond-Reversible-Charging-Braided-Connecting/dp/B00V3FRZPE

braided cable, QuickCharge, reversible Micro-USB adapter. I'll be picking up a few myself. But figured I'd let everybody else know in case some of you think it's as cool as I do. After having an S5 for so long, and what a pain it was just to plug that thing in, finding out there's a cable that i don't even need to worry about being upside down. And the pricing isn't bad for what looks like a durable cable that will be a cinch to use tired, in the dark, whatever. I plan to do a review for it when I get it. But if someone already has one, or gets one before me, please let me know how it is. IMO every micro-USB cable made now should be like this. Seems like common sense to me
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] revrenhex:
I backed the MicFlip on Indegogo, and 1000 years later once I received the product, I was pretty disappointed. It was super finicky, only working if wiggled in my Nexus 6, and won't work in my s7 at all. Obviously other brands will vary, but that left a bad taste in my mouth for them.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] chriskwarren:
In the features section of that cable you linked, it days the USB end is reversible, not the micro usb end. So im not sure this cable solves any problems for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] happyantix:
Blitzwolf also make one, I just received it and its fantastic quality
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] nexy33:
Also have this is quick charge capable and it's superbly made.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] 52brandon:
sorry about that. I know the McFlip was the micro side, but aparently it was a good concept with **** execution. But it sounds like there are some companies making quality ones with the reversible micro plug. Though it's almost too ironic that they finally come up with something like that just in time for the death of Micro USB. And USB-A as a whole for that matter

awesome. Thanks for that info. I was worried that they might be **** quality like the McFlip apparently is

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] dv8ed:
BelayCords that I backed on Kickstarter for Apple Lightning cables has been great. USB side reversible.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] V0latyle:
Quick charge has nothing at all to do with the cable. It's negotiated between the phone and the charger. Any Micro USB cable will work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] scott14719:
It isn't possible to have a reversible micro USB plug. The female receptor is shape dependent, unlike the full sized USB connector which is non-shape dependent..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] PiousInquisitor:
Impossible yet it still exists... Mind = blown. Right?

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/417V2dN6tXL._SY200_.jpg
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] scott14719:
Not at all. The head rotates. It can still ONLY be inserted in one (and only one) orientation. It's the same thing as turning the cable upside down. You would simply be rotating by the head instead of the cable. If you try to insert the male micro USB head into the female receptor, it still will only work if it is turned the right way.

In contrast, the full sized USB head (in this case) can be inserted either way, without rotation.

The result is still that the micro USB connector side is still not reversible.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] PiousInquisitor:
You don't read very well. Try it again.

Tell us again how it can only be inserted one way. It sounds so magical when you say it...

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] maitrot:
I have the blitzwolf cable, and all I can say is WOW. I have had a lot micro usb cables, but never before such an awesome quality. The cable itself is so heavy and full of copper, you can bend it and then it stays that way. WOW.

The connectors, on both ends are reversible and of Mega high quality. not super-high, but mega-high. period

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DeadlineEm:
Im not 100% sure about that, you can give it a try but as always, make a backup of your current ROM in TWRP and put it on your computer just in case.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] lordaiur:
For Step #6, I had WIFI on so it automatically started downloading the MM update when I tapped "System Update". Fortunately, I was still able to go through the rest of the steps with no problems. Probably we should just avoid tapping "System Updates" ? Anyway, much thx.

Now, how to re-root...?
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DeadlineEm:
Thats ok to do and as far as rerooting, i havent done that just yet as i havent had the time to do so. As soon as i reroot my phone i will update the thread but in the mean time you can attempt the 1 click root method for 5.1.1 and see if that works for you, if not i heard the manual root method works on 6.0
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] elgecko:
I was like you. I tried the Bootstack + Return2Stock with the OTA update, but the phone never rebooted.

I decided I was not going to worry about going to 6.0. I tried rooting the 5.1.1 the same way I did before using the Bootstack + Return2Stock. My phone did not boot back up.

So I decided that I would use this guide to get to 6.0 since I have to do something to get the phone working again.

I'm stuck at #8. LG bridge says no software update as your guide states, but it does not show the MS63110j update.....

[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] n0kkie:
I can't get this to work .. but then again, I have a different problem .. security error 1009 ..

Anyways, I get passed the choosing CSE or Normal methods .. then I get to 100 percent on the first task .. then to about 30 percent on the second one, then it magicly stops working on me, the whole program. No matter what I do.
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DeadlineEm:
With that youd have to entirely flash a new ROM onto your phone, ive had that happen to me before with other phones ive had and my only fix was to flash a stock ROM like 5.1.1 or something onto your phone. LG Bridge will only find the updates if the phone is on and working (booted up) but if you open LG Bridge and click the software update tab theres a link in the bottom right corner that says "Update Error Recovery" try that
[LG G Stylo Guides, News, & Discussion] DeadlineEm:
Thats quite odd, try opening LG Bridge and clicking on the Software Update tab, then clicking the link at the bottom right that says "Update Error Recovery" see if this fixes the problem.

sounds like you might want to stick to using the kdz to get back to stock, because it seems like some people have had issues not being able to get the ota update when they use the other method

Thank you guys very much! Im debating now if im going to root this board as well, but i dont like the warning bootloader unlocked message popping on the screen when its turned on. I dont know how to stop that.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hacktock:
I bought a used Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) last night and when I got back home, I realized that it doesn't read my SIM card at all. I took the phone to the service centre and they said the whole motherboard needs to be changed but these service centres in my country are known for charging money unnecessarily so I don't quite believe them. They said simply changing the SIM card tray won't make a difference. The seller isn't answering my calls anymore so I'm on my own.

I've seen several posts that say this is a common problem with the S4. I watched a few YouTube videos and I've opened the phone and reseated the cable from the SIM Card tray and it started working so I feel like there is hope. Few minutes later, I got an error saying "SIM Card Removed" so I'm trying to fix it. In one of the YouTube videos, I saw the guy using a hot air gun on the SIM Card tray but I can't really tell where he's blowing the air on it.

I tried this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UEtTMhZujk but that didn't work as expected but sometimes, applying pressure in that area does make it work for a few minutes.

Can someone tell me why the guy is using the hot air gun in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aqKLKl5Z3A&t=1m20s ? I could take it to the local repair shop and ask them to do that for me.

UPDATE: As of yet, I have not done anything with a hot air gun. I've opened the phone multiple times trying different thicknesses of pieces of ear plugs as shown in one of the videos. It's been working for the last one hour. I'll wait it out and see how long this works.

[Android General] juv3nal:
Hey guys,

I need a bit of help here.

For some strange reason I'm unable to install various apps from the play store like Antutu benchmar, AcDisplay or even unable to update The Google app!

I've cleared the cache of the play store and have rebooted the phone but still the same ! What else could I do?

Edit: after another reboot the system optimised itself and the problem is gone! Weird! Anyway is good now, even the screen turns itself off whereas before it wasn't doing it!
[Android General] Alberto96:
That's how it started to work here, after more reboots it failed completely.
[Android General] juv3nal:
The same thing happened just now. I couldn't install an app from the play store. Had to clear data and reboot. It's OK now.

I also find that the battery drains fast. I started the day with 100% and is not even 4pm and it's down to 39%! Nothing like the reviews I've seen saying that the battery should last 2 days!

No doubt that the OS has quite a few bugs.

I'm starting to miss my old Nexus 5 ?
[Android General] megthebest:
thanks Alberto..

in the mean time root and TWRP successfully achieved..

[Android General] laneyyy:
How did you get twrp? When I was looking to flash it, the only info I could find said that you'd need to build it for this phone yourself
[Android General] Alberto96:
A new OTA Update has been released by Ulefone (20160505), it seems to fix all instabilities but i'm not sure. I'll confirm it after some days of testing.

In the meanwhile i recommend you to update your device in order to get as much as possible feedbacks about it.
[Android General] juv3nal:

I can't get the update! Still says that my device is up to date!

[Android General] Alberto96:
I had another release installed on my device, 20160423 not 20160415, that's probably why.
[Android General] juv3nal:
I see....

Do you know if OTA is the only way to get the update?
[Android General] Alberto96:
If they do not release the 20160505 Full ROM then yes, you need to wait an OTA update.
[Android General] juv3nal:
OK, thanks for your help and thank you for this thread and all the support. It's really appreciated! :good:
[Android General] juv3nal:
I wonder if anyone else has received the update?

I'm having lots of problems with this phone and I don't know who to contact to report them so I'm going to list them here in case some of you are suffering the same problems:

* I don't get a 4G signal despite this phone being compatible with band 800Mhz and that's the band my telephone supplier uses.

* The finger print scanner doesn't always work.

* I have to reboot the phone often because I get an error when trying to install apps.

* The battery life is very poor considering its size. I'm unable to get a full day's use with one full charge and I don't play games!

* The screen comes on while the phone is my pocket.

* The phone overheats often for no apparent reason.

* I get a network error when I try to send a feedback using the OTA feedback form.

* Maybe others that I can't remember now.

In summary, I'm a little disappointed and frustrated. :mad:. I hope that the update comes quickly and is able to fix some of these problems!
