[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewild:
Well, I kept searching a bit and found a lot of interesting threads from samsung owners seeing this exact same behaviour after flashing a CM Rom.

I "might" have found a fix. Apparently, you need to fully charge your phone, then remove the battery long enough for a specific chip to be unpowered and to reset itself. That is, supposedly, the only way to force a battery recalibration on some samsung phones (I found threads from S2s and S4s owners).

Charging right now (with phone turned off), so I'll let you know tomorrow morning how it went.

Cheers !

And of course, if hat doesn't help then I'll just buy a new battery.

Waiting for the results :D
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewild:
OK, so the phone made it through the day.

Battery was at 20% in the evening (I was not expecting a miracle), but there was no drop and the discharge rate was constant through the day.

Did the battery gauge settle by itself or did the "trick" work ? I don't know, but now it's OK, and it's a very easy manipulation.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aztek92:
[MENTION=4444091]thewild[/MENTION]

Test it for few more days. After each calibration and successfully watching how battery stable dropped to zero thinking I finally made it I was always surprised later with issue coming back after next charge. I'm still pretty sure it's cm thing, but maybe you can prove me wrong :D
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewild:
Still doing fine for now. Yesterday evening battery was at 40%, pretty good.

There was a wakelock from lockclock (weatherupdateervice), even though I disabled the weather on the lockscreen. I fixed it so battery should even do better today.

[Verizon LG G3] FarFromExpert:
I'm sure I'm missing something simple.. I've followed all instructions that seem to be simple to me but alas.

I have the tot file and extract it to an empty folder and I get the error there is no partition file(rawprogram0.xml) everytime I try to test.

The driver is listed as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4)

I'm right clicking BoardDiag and running as administrator but there is no indication when it comes up if there should be. (if that may be the cause of the issue)
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Question threads go in the Q&A section. I'll ask a moderator to move this.

Since you didn't explicitly say you extracted the TOT with BoardDiag, did you or you extracted with something else?

Also, try [MENTION=2250889]R-T-B[/MENTION] 's recovery thread in this section. A possibly important piece of the puzzle is whether your model number under the battery has a K in it, such as VS985WK. He addresses that in his recovery thread.
[Verizon LG G3] FarFromExpert:
Thanks, I'm not too familiar with the workings of the site.

I did extract the tot file in board diag to an empty folder.. When I check the boxes and hit test that is when I get the error and everything disappears.

My Model number is IQ-VS985 ....Thought my serial number has a K but I doubt that's what you mean

I'm attempting this on windows vista 64bit (everyone cries)
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
[emoji1] re: Vista.

Have you tried flashing a partition with BoardDiag anyway without selecting Test? Other than that, that guy's thread I mentioned in the General section.

I just contacted safeware.com and purchased PDA insurance for my AT&T Tilt for $52.00/annually. They repair/replace the device up to $550.00. Since AT&T doesn't even offer you the option of insurance, it certainly is worth the $4.30/month for piece of mind.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ecltech:
Safeware

Not sure if anyone else is using safeware but I decided to try them. Since I'm in NY they have a discounted rate for NY folks (surprising). It's $52.00/year with a $50.00 deductible. Not bad for piece of mind if I break it by accident. Worse case I'm out $102.00 for 1 replacement.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mack5305:
This "Insure the Tilt" begs the question: "Why?"

I've had the unfortunate experience of having three different people drop mine three times onto a tile floor in a hospital. Nothing broke. Still works too.

Had someone else broke it, would it have been covered by the policy and would I have been able to collect from them or the person who broke it? If not, just fork over another $300 and get another rather than pay $60 year for insurance.

I'm wagering I'll replace it with another within two years time anyway. So marches technology. Why again, pay $60 to be locked into what will soon be old technology?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] galenmd:
Can you currently buy this phone without a new contract for $300? Wouldn't we have to buy it at full price as a replacement?

FYI, my homeowners policy will not insure a phone if it is under $400. Since I got mine for <$200, it does not qualify. Also, my wife's iPhone missed it by $1
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ecltech:
You're not locked into anything... it's renewable each year. I purchase my phone for $300.00 from AT&T. Replacing the phone will cost $500.00 as you can't get the phone for $300.00, at least not from AT&T. The insurance also covers theft, accidental damage, cracked screen, etc. I rather pay the $52.00 for 1 year and have piece of mind if I do drop my phone or something falls on it/etc. I may not be lucky as you to drop it a number of times and nothing breaks. For me it's worth it at least for the 1st year. After that I'm sure the prices of the phone will drop so no need to renew.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] grizzley:
I can buy the Tilt from ATT for $276 with no contract (using my business account @ 45% off).

Do these insurance companies just pay "cash" for the replacement or do they send out a new phone?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ecltech:
Unfortunately the average user doesn't have a business account. Would be nice though. :)

As for the replacement they send out a new phone. Most likely a refurb as HTC/AT&T does the same for in-warranty replacement.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] plchan:
I just got the ATT Tilt from ebay few days ago. I have not really used it yet. I am going to check with safeware about the insurance policy.

Thanks!

EDIT:

I just checked the safeware.com to get a quote. They did not have an option for "cell phone". I selected "laptop" with the coverage of $600. It turns out the annual cost is $69 with $100 deductible.

How did you get the coverage for your cell phone? by calling them? or do it online?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mack5305:
So you effectively spend $169 per year for a replacement Tilt? :rolleyes:

In a year, AT&T will probably sell them for $50 just to get people online with a data plan.

Remember when you had to pay for a Motorola Razr phone? Some places they're free now with a plan. ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ruebarb:
You have two companies for the Cell phone insurance.

http://www.wirelesssafeguard.com/ Which I bought my insurance through & http://www.safeware.com/ which I thought was a waste of money

Wireless Safe Gaurd

Pro - "ATG’s Safeguard Program helps you protect your wireless device against any type of damage, loss, and theft."

Con- $100 Deductable

Safeware

Pro - No Deductible

Con- read the below and also read the contract. What a useless contract, they don't cover any defects or break down from use, plus tons of other crap about environemental variables, basically it is only loss insurance or if you smash your phone, which you'd have to do if it stopped working to get it covered.

Thank you very much for the inquiry. A damp environment refers to the actual environment in which a unit is used in. For example, a unit is kept in a greenhouse which has higher than normal amount of humidity, and due to the constant exposure, internal parts begin to rust. A liquid spill however, is a single physical event which causes the unit not to function, which is not caused by the environment. The electrical breakdown refers to electrical components which stop working over time, whether it is caused by a faulty part or simply wear and tear. Similar to the other explanation, a power surge is a single physical event which damages the unit. A surge hits the unit and burns out components or parts. I hope that this helps explain the difference, but please do not hesitate to contact me if any further clarification is required.

I’ve reviewed the portable electronics agreement on your site; these appear to be contradictory based on interpretation.

Accidental damage is defined as an unexpected and unintentional external event, resulting in physical damage to the insured equipment. Examples of accidental damage include, but are not limited to Drops, Falls, Collisions, and Liquid Spills.

http://www.safeware.com/index.php

Power Surge

Comments

A liquid spill(#9) could be considered a damp environment(B4)

The failure of an electronic device is a type of “electrical breakdown” (B3) and would be an unintended, hence an accident(#9). Power surge is also a type of electrical breakdown(B3).

Can you please clarify as to what is actually covered or not covered in the contract terms.

Thank you
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stozmon:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it cost more than $400 to get a replacement from AT&T without a new contract if it were rendered inoperable ?

My homeowners covered mine at a recplacement cost of $600 and I'm paying $30/yr. I know that renter's insurance is cheap and will cover it and more.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] galenmd:
Yes. The replacement cost was irrelevant to them. Don't try to make sense of it.

I installed the echo rom on it

http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s7/development/echoeromg935-g930multi-carrier-t3459277/

and I would like to install xposed framework on my device. tried many times but got bootloops. Also after installing the rom , my device now says 935 for the model number so im a little confused.

thx
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FreshIce21:
just make sure you have a clean install of the echoe rom (meaning no left over files from other roots and flashes) I would just to make sure do a clean odin flash of the stock files then re-root and flash echoe all over again. Once you have everything set up just go to this page: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/how-to/how-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039 and then click on the install xposed instructions and follow it exactly. It takes a while for the phone to boot after flashing the rom so its not a boot loop if it takes 10 or 15 minutes.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] matrx10503:
I have a Sprint G930P Galaxy S7.

It has an intermittent restarting issue. I am trying to narrow it down from hardware vs software.

When i'm in download mode (odin) or Recovery mode it stays on and I left it on these screens for maybe 10+ mins and never restarts.

When I load into the OS, its random....but normally its within 30 - 60 seconds it restarts.

So i'm pretty sure I was on PG1, I tried to flash PF2 to try rule out software issues.

Well, here whats interesting, ODIN completely finished and PASSed and automatically restarted like normal. When the OS fully booted up and loaded, it was the same, nothing deleted, or reset and no initial startup dialog.

Obviously SOMETHING went wrong. My baseband/software and build version are different. My base and software shows PG1 and build versions shows PF2

Right now I have been sitting here letting music play on the phone to see if it will restart. 4 mins in and it hasn't restarted. I guess i'm going to try and download a game and do a "stress-test"

So has anyone ever seen ODIN fully pass/flash....but didn't actually or partially flashed the firmware?

Nevermind.......Nobody probably cares about the solution so i'll spare the expense.

[General Questions and Answers] furboom1240:
Empty-handed

The OEM or Carriers has no update or standalone file at this time. Both state the updates are available only over a OTA.

Based on your details, a provider (Bell Canada, Ontario) has a firmware release (latest brings FW 7A.0.5-11-5.1.1-11.01.24 and Lollipop 5.1.1) that can only be obtained over OTA.

http://support.bell.ca/Mobility/Smartphones_and_mobile_internet/Operating-Systems?alias=sonim-xp7

There aren't any power user friendly tools, so I can see why you're frustrated.

But if I stumble across standalone tools, I'll host the links.

Anyone get WiFi Assistant working on Nougat? most articles have the instructions below but I cannot find the networking option. Anyone have success with this?

If your phone is ready for WiFi Assistant, you should see the option in Settings>Google>Networking. You may also find it in Settings>WiFi>Gear icon (top right). From within there, you will see a toggle for “Use open Wi-Fi automatically.”

I’m not currently seeing it live on my Nexus devices, but you may. Be sure to head into Google Play and update to the latest version of Google Connectivity Services. You may also need an update to Play Services as well or maybe you just need to remain patient.
