[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
Definitely a G900F? (Does it say G900F in download mode?)

Using a native Windows PC? (Not a mac?)

COM port lights up in ODIN when you connect the phone in download mode?

Using the latest ODIN 3.11.1 ?

Tried a different USB lead / PC ?

Yes me too. .today i trying flash stock firmware 5.0 frm m'sia XME but still not pass just say fail i using odin v3.10.6 window7.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apple740:
Yes, definitely a 900f. I use a Windows PC with Vista, and Odin 3.11.1. The com port in Odin lights up blue when i connect the lead.

The blue progress bar on the S5 display lights up when the upload starts but doesn't reach any further than 2 milimetre, and that's it.

Haven't tried a different pc or lead as i haven't one.

Here a screenshot from Odin: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0nxmDOL_TALUUFRTEFGWjNOTW8/view?usp=drivesdk
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
Could try factory resetting the phone first from recovery

I'd definitely try get a hold of another USB lead

Try a different USB port too

And might be worth upgrading to Win 7 at least, COM port lighting up says the driver is working and can see the phone, but Vista is ancient and known for being buggy

I know you say it is definitely a G900F, but does it say that in download mode too? Just because this is the same behaviour that occurs when trying to flash a ROM for the wrong model S5, and a lot of S5s are incorrectly sold as G900Fs, they even say it in Android and on the box and sticker

Download mode can't be changed
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paolonicus:
Try from another computer. If that also fails, then I could only think of 1 thing. Your Galaxy S5's board is damaged. This happened to me back when I owned a Galaxy S3. When that happened, I did a little research and it turns out that in some cases of Motherboard failure, it will put the board in Read-Only mode, which will render and manual firmware flashing impossible. As it also turn out, the only solution was to replace the motherboard itself.

It could be other things, but if what I mentioned will not help you resolved your problem, a visit to an authorized service center could be your only hope in getting that fixed.

I uploaded some movies and other files from pc to S5 to see if file transfer is okay and there seems nothing wrong. Superfast and no errors or something.

If the lead or something else is faulty then the file transfers i did would give problems or not?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apple740:
This is how the screen on the S5 looks like when i try to use it with Odin. The blue progress bar doesn't go any further than this.

Solved.

At first i tried a Windows 7 copy but that didn't help either.

Then i looked at the back of my pc and noticed 2 different sets of USB ports, 2.0 and 3.0.

The lead was in a 3.0 port. Switched it to a 2.0 port and now it works. :)

Pleased you fixed it, but I had suggested

:)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apple740:
I did try a different usb port but i sticked it right next to the 3.0 port, which was a 3.0 too. :)

I didn't realize that i have 2 different sets of usb ports. :)

Blow the dust in the microphone holes with a compressed air pistol or how it's called. There is no software problem if you unticked the noise supression. I attached a picture of a industrial compressed air station cuz i do not know how to translate it exactly.

[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hi guys,

yesterday i experienced a strange behavior of the vibration with my Z3+ (E6553). The one moment it worked fine like always and in the next it stopped working. I tried everything what you can imagine to get the vibration back to work, disable xposed and every changes, disabled root for each App, flashed the Kernel new which i used at this moment (AndroKernel) , clear cache/dalvik, flashed Stock Kernel, reset the Device, flashed the complete .224 Firmware new with flashtool. Nothing of this brought back the Vibration. The only moment the Vibration always worked was when the Device was complete off and when you turn it on there is a short vibration, so i know that it was no Hardware damage. Well when nothing helped me i flashed my backup and everything was like before except of the not working vibration. Today morning the vibration didnt work, but at about 12 o'clock the vibration started working and till now everything looks like there was never a problem. That was really strange for about 24 hours no vibration and then it came back without doing anything. Has anyone experienced a similar problem?

I assume this is the factory screen protector, it isn't very high end and mostly there for shipping. You can remove this at anytime. Maybe keep on until you get a new higher quality screen protector (tempered glass is the way to go) but something is better than nothing

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milehighxr:
I have this tablet, and i have twice had to open it, and disconnect the ribbon cable for the screen, and the battery. Then reconnect because the screen goes black but the buttons still light up. Is there a permanent solution for this issue? I've tried adding electrical tape to the area to help shore it up, but no dice. I really don't wanna open it every 3 weeks to get the screen back to life.

Elsewise the tablet has been pretty sweet, can't watch tv on it due to scammer/virus websites constantly coming up, but still a solid tablet.

Anyone, anyone Bueller? Right now the tablet will only charge, when powered off, and it takes 8+ hours to get a full charge, with a brand new cable, and the OEM charger. I would like to be able to use it plugged in and charging if I'm reading or surfing the net, and it needs to be charged, and I can't do that right now. If I have to buy a battery, or even another usb port for it, I can. Much cheaper than buying the new model, and this one will serve my purposes just fine.

It is very easy to decide : if you want to run on your device custom roms , you should buy G8 ... but, if you are not familiar with custom roms, and you always use stock rom , than go to buy P9 Lite !

The performance and price are almost the same for the both devices .

P9 is an unsupported device for custom roms like CyanogenMod , due HiSilicon Kirin architecture processor ( propriety of Huawei ) - also there is no open source for graphics ( Mali-T880MP2) - in conclusion there will be no custom roms based on CyanogenMod for this device .

A lot of thnx for your answer. ..I write this thread because I found a review on the Internet said that the G8 have some lag with the original rom 5.1.1

[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] empy16:
Hello all,

First of all, let me say that I have not used the previous ROM versions, just the latest one (053116)

I'm currently using the Aerom V3

At first, the finger print scanner seems to work perfectly (once you find the knack on how to properly add your fingerprint).

Then I start fiddling with the OS (Root, LSpeed, and Rom Toolbox) to change the processor settings (I prefer full clock + Userspace, less UI jitter) the scanner gets worse and worse with every day.

After a few days, it barely recognises the fingers (unless you deliberately place it on the scanner, while looking at it) and even worse - the phone thinks I'm scanning the finger when I'm not even touching it and locks me out. Other times it fails to register my finger at all (no vibrate, screen off), then, when I press the lock button it suddenly unlocks.

The main question is - is it a deep sleep problem? Is it an oversensitive scanner? Is it my finger residue? (I try to clean the scanner once in a while)

I also tried installing Xposed, which means I have to set the SELinux to Permissive (removing the sleep 60/70/80 line).

Anyway, I can't seem to find where the problems come from. It seems, when the phone is bone stock, the fingerprint scanner works OK most of the time.

Any help is apreciated! Thanks

[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] gullatorre:
I've this error too, mainly the part of "the phone thinks I'm scanning the finger when I'm not even touching it and locks me out."

This is so annoying that i disable the FP, and this was one of the motives that i bought this phone :/

As you, this start after I root my phone with TWRP 3.0.2.1, but I just add the multiple window in the build.prop, I'm thinking on remove the root and see if this error stops.
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] empy16:
I've recently dirty-flashed Aerom on top. Didn't lose any settings, but the fingerprint scanner has improved greatly.

Also, Lux Lite was definitely interfering with the scanner and wake-scan. So I got rid of that.
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] gullatorre:
I dirty-flash the Eragon v2.8, and the FP already increased, and it's rooted. So I think the problem is related with the stock ROM
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Kooperativ:
FP sensor on the unrooted Aerom V5

I have Aerom V5 on my phone, I am not rooted and I have the same problem. For now I have disabled the FP sensor and my battery life increased by 5 hours! I will try Eragon Mod as I prefer my phone rooted and xposed installed. I hope the new ROM won't have this FP issue.
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Arangato:
I had several ROMs tested and conclusion is: Activated FP sensor takes about 1,5-2,5% battery per h (normally 0,2-0,5% in a good ROM without FP) in newer ROMs (Kernel > 31.05). For older Kernels it is even worse.

Unfortunately this takes us to the point that using the FP sensor will drain about 20-25% battery over night and nearly 60% in 24h :/ (to be fair: this seems to be a common problem with other devices having an always-on FP too, or to compare: even a Samsung S7 Edge needs two steps to unlock via FP) as i am a fan of using the FP sensor this really is sth. i struggle with. Best way would be to have option to disable "always-on" feature for FP-sensor, so it can be used "old" way: hit button to wake and then unlock via FP. At least it would be also sth. that i would appreciate to have quick widget to enable / disable FP or have it disabled with airplane mode to avoid the battery drain overnight.

Let me know your thoughts...

Regards A
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Kooperativ:
Everything would be better than disabling the FP completely. The FP scanner was one of the reasons i purchased this phone in first place....

I hope that the newly released kernel can be modified by ROM developers so that the FP scanner is usable.
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Arangato:
I totally agree to that and same for me... if this sensor is there, i would really like to use it. In special as it is really good working (besides battery drain). I now ordered another (cheap) always-on FP sensor phone from redmi to compare the behaviour. For me a phone that is completely not used should not have battery drain >0,5% per hour.

I am also looking forward if the kernel source release will help for that issue... but if its hardware related i see no chance at all :(
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Kooperativ:
Please share your experiences as soon as compared the two phones. I'm curious about it.
[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] Kooperativ:
So I have flashed my phone with Eragon V3 a few days ago and I have to say I am really happy :)

Fingerprint reader works very good now (no scans if no finger is on the sensor and very good scan-unlock ratio)

Batterylife is even better as in Aerom V5 (10 hours over night just 4% battery needed with wifi enabled)

with regular use I get one and a half days (music, web browsing, streaming, fp enabled)

Overall performance is very smooth

Xposed and root work very well

[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] HellRoot:
Thanks for the review...

I have a few things.. The phone going to 3g is normal, in Denmark when making a call to a number from another provider it goes to 3g but when making call to one using same provider it uses 4g for HDVOICE.

LTE is the same as 4G even though it is not 4g but that is another story. It is the same...so no big deal there.

I will await my phone and I look forward to it, my old z3 is in bad shape ?

Thanks again and have a great weekend ?
[Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
HellRoot,

Sure thing man!

Well here a phone w/o VoLTE should stay in 4G at least, but I guess if the one is not FROM (or locked) a carrier, it's not gonna get 4G. I just found out what I'm getting during a call is that it's switching back & forth between 3G and H+, or 3.5G. Some real BS eh? lol

Yeah NOT during a call my int'l XP shows LTE, which I know now is the same as 4G LTE. But it's DURING a call that is what I'm concerned with. Apparently there's more to it than just the VoLTE-certification, b/c my phone is no different than the T-Mo Z1s (which again does NOT have VoLTE either) EXCEPT that it's unlocked and int'l.

Yeah I had the Z3 too and I LOVED it!! Got the S7 but it just wasn't the same. lol Tried the HTC 10 too but still.........to me, Sony is still the best. The Z3 had better battery life than the XP does though, so make sure to get that 360 Hibernation Master app (full paid version!) too. See my review for all the details. Also a QC 2.0 or esp 3.0 charger will help deal with that too.
