I have a semi-rooted Galaxy S3 (I tried to root it but even the apps installed by KingRoot said my phone wasn't rooted... I also occasionally get a notification that says "unauthorized access to a secure area has been blocked." I also tried to factory reset in an attempt to un-root, but nothing happened..
Anyway, I tried to update to 4.2 (I'm on Sprint) and now my phone won't turn on.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a note 2 SCH-I605 it is suppose to be unlocked. I guess it is unlocked somewhat because it is a Verizon phone but I am using T-mobile sim for service. My question is how or why will the phone not update in settings. It states that no services are available. Phone Is running 4.1.2.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just bought HTC Desire 500 and this is actually the first android smartphone i ever used, all this while I have been using the classic Nokia Symbian( so basically I only have 1 day experience with android) and i checked the android version for my HTC and it shows 4.1.2 while according to a website I found I should be able to update to 4.2 ( I think). And yes I have tried using 'update software' from the phone's setting and it says I am up to date.I am wanting to use so many features of 4.2 versions.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just got OS4.3 pushed to my Samsung Galaxy S3 and noticed the "eye" symbol in my notification bar. The icon remained there even though Smart-Stay wasn't enabled and I have no Smart-Rotation feature showing on my phone when I go into Settings->My Device->Smart Screen. Instead, the "Eye" icon disappears when I disable my screen rotation. My coworker, on a different wireless/phone carrier, got the 4.3 upgrade last week (on his Galaxy S3) and HAS the Smart-Rotate option in his settings.
I don't wan't the camera active and draining battery just because I have screen-rotation enabled.
After recently updating to the latest android 4.3 on my Note 2, I suddenly cannot play voicemails through my car bluetooth anymore. I can still make and receive calls through the car and therefore dial into my voicemails, but cannot just play back a specific message directly from my list of voicemails within the voicemail program - its the stock program that came with the phone. I can also play back directly through my bluetooth headset, just not to my car audio anymore. What gives? Obviously something changed with the update that I cant figure out. This is the last time I ever do an update unless its absolutely necessary, it seems like every time something gets jacked up that takes me hours to resolve.

Can i udate the software once i put my Digicel sim card in this S4 because the phone came with 4.2 installed but i have read it is elligible for an update to 4.3. Since it is technically an at&t phone but unlocked. I dont know much about this kind of thing. I tried to do it via Kies and it says that I cant update this version using Kies. I never received any update whenever I check it only says update interrupted and no software available. While android 4.3 was out on at&t and it's been weeks. What should I do? My phone is not even rooted.

I have a Coolpad 8720L with its own interface built upon 4.3 Jelly Bean. It's not very good, and I'd like to install stock Android instead. How do I do this?
I heard that I have to root the device, and then find a ROM for stock Jelly Bean to load onto the device?
I have an AT&T note2. AT&T just had an update, now up to 4.1.2....
Since the update, my favorite app now will not work, the "No lock" app.
This is an app that will allow you to toggle on or off, the screen lock with pattern or code. You turn on screen lock with pattern, (or whatever security type), then use this app to toggle it enabled or disabled...
If the phone is in my pocket, (yeah, note 2 in pocket...lol.) I have lock screen enabled so it won't stay on if a text comes in, or an update / notification. If I'm using phone, I disable the lock screen, so even if the screen times out, the home button will bring it up and back to where I was without a swipe or lock pattern.
So, am I missing something? I think I have tried all the settings I can see, trying to get the app to work. The only way it works slightly, is if I set the phone to only swipe to unlock, no security. Then I can toggle swipe or no swipe. But that does me no good in my pocket. If a text comes in and wakes the phone up, my pocket can swipe to unlock or just keep the screen on from the moisture? or body heat?, or whatever the screen reacts to.
The app I use is No Lock by BoD... It has always worked on my S3, and worked on my Note2, before this last update.

I am using a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 SPH-L900 that currently has software 4.1.2. I've recently been trying to finally update to 4.3 and it seems my phone is stuck on an old update. It's 28.5MB and it'll show there's an update, I'll download it, it'll say it was successful. I'll then tell it to restart & install, what happens next is it looks like it just does a simply restart. It shuts off, shows the Samsung startup screen, and then I'm back to my homepage. Because of this, I can't update the phone any further. I tried going a Hard Reset (holding vol up, home, then power) and delete data/formating drive and that didn't fix it. I also tried going to the All Applications -> Google Services Framework -> Clear Cache -> Stop Service and what this does it brings up the same page for the 28.5MB download and it does the same thing it's always done.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Galaxy S4 SGH-i1337 with android 4.2.2 baseband i1337YCYAMF3. About a month ago I rooted and installed safestrap on it. I just recently removed my custom rom in slot 1 so all slots except the stock are empty. I booted back into my stock rom I tried to get the AT&T Update to 4.3, it downloaded and rebooted to install and said that the install was Interrupted. How I can get the 4.3 update to work on it? I am guessing I need to remove safestrap and restore the stock system restore image but I don't know how.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'd rather have an up to date phone than a rooted phone, I think. I just have it rooted to eliminate the shutter sound in the camera anyway.
Some threads say that they "lost root" when they updated. Does that mean I can just update and it'll be back to non-rooted normal? That would be easier than un-rooting, but I'm afraid to just click the OK button in case it messes things up.
I updated my Samsung Galaxy S3 to Android 4.3 yesterday.
Nothing's been the same. I actually like the previous formats for almost every app and widget better.The most annoying and debilitating has to be a random page that pops up that says "you need to periodically log in to your 'Samsung Account'"It displays my email on the top and provides a space to type in a password that I don't have at all. At first I thought it was legit,.I can't even find the bad app or route that this thing came from.
On an unrelated note, the email just became more of a mess and there's no option to check for the SPAM folder.
I just updated it from ics to JB then it wont access the recovery. but my phone works can text surf the net and games. my problem is i need to root it and i cant access the red recovery
View 3 Replies View RelatedI updated my Xperia Z1 yesterday to 14.2.A.0.290 as it notified as a new update. Since then, I get terrible signal in the office at work and in the room I stay in at night to the point where I have to go outside to make a phonecall, and especially if I want to get any form of decent data coverage.
Why it's affected it? The pretty unuseful agent on Sony Chat only told me to do a repair with PC Companion and failing that if I think there's a problem I'll have to send my phone off. I'm furious that the updates they release always seem to make the phone worse, first it was the battery life that took a massive hit a few updates back, and now my signal.
I don't mess around with ROMs or kernels (don't really understand any of that) so everything is standard. I'm in the UK on the network EE.

Since The new Galaxy S4 update I can no longer hear my downloaded music on my amazon mp3 app unless I listen on my headphones but even then I have to turn off my headphones and back on for every single song. The songs show up and are listed correctly. I can hit play but I get no sound. All other sounds on my phone work fine.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMotorola moto G8. First thing I did is connected the phone to the charger and next I turned on the power. Next I got a notice about an available Android update, which I accepted. Downloading the update went smooth (via WiFi). But then my phone asked to reboot to install updates. Now I'm seeing the same screen 'cycle' for three hours. I see the Android guy with some blue geometrical shapes in his belly. Under that guy there's a status bar and the text 'installing update'. The status bar moves to a certain point, seems to freeze and then jumps towards the end. Next the screen goes black for a second and then the same cycle repeats itself.
