[Q] Micromax Canvas Knight A350 boot issue! Problem with device turning on. topic

Okay, Hi. I will try to give all the details as far as possible about the issue.
Canvas Knight A350 running on Kitkat 4.4.2. It was not rooted when the problem occured.
The problem is whenever I turn on the phone it shows the MIcromax logo later powered by android and canvas knight welcome screen for 5-7 secs but gets switched off automatically after that. The home screen does not appear. Sometimes for flash of a second it appears and I could see the wallpaper, app shortcuts in the background out and the "power off shutting down" screen

Things I've already tried :
1. Charging the phone : Whenever the charger is connected it shows the charging symbol with the lowest battery and after 5-6 seconds it says "Error, Please remove the charger."
2. Wipe Cache Partition : Installed recovery with SP Tools and wiped cache. No update.
3. Wipe Battery Stats and Dalvik Cache : Phone started with the screen "Android is upgrading. Optimising apps ... out of 163..." It finished optimizing all apps then shows homescreen for a second again wit the "Power off... shutting down." So issue not solved.
4. Mounting all possible disks etc. : No update still the same problem.

A. The phone has an internal sd card so using the recovery mode I took backup also. But I don't know what all that items the backup option takes? Will it take contacts, sms, whatsapp msgs, application apks? I havent taken any backup using Titanium or anything for the phone / apps / or their data otherwise.

B. I am able to browse the internal sd card folders in recovery mode but how do I copy them to the PC?

C. If I use the Wipe data / factory reset feature of the recovery what data will I lose? Will the internal sd card also get wiped??

D. I'm currently downloading the Kitkat official rom to update it manually using recovery. Will that also make me lose all my data on phone storage - contacts, settings etc.? and internal sd card?

E. Is there any better way to solve my problem without the whole factory reset or flashing ROM? Because appears to me that its some software glitch and the phone is not actually bricked!! (the appearing of home screen and wallpapers even if just for a second) Maybe something is sending a power off command to the phone as soon as it gets turned on?

F. Could it be a hardware or battery voltage issue? Should I post the battery test readings from the factory mode? How to conduct the test properly?

Anyone experience this issue with their WiFi? topic

So recently my phone's battery has been drianing even while in deep sleep.

I noticed that even though I'm on my home WiFi, and the the phone works perfectly on the WiFi, that Better Battery Stats says that I have no data connection while connected to the the WiFi.

So if I leave it on WiFi for 1 hour, the I have service with no issues, but it also says I have no data connection for that hour. How can that be? How can I have Data, yet the phone says I don't?

If I turn WiFi off, I have no issues. 1 hour of mobile data, no issues with service, and the no data connection is gone

I'm actually getting better battery life on mobile data than WiFi.

These stats are all on Batter battery stats.

My VZW S4 is on the NC5 software and I'm on the MK2 bootloader and radios.

I also upgraded to the Verizon Fios Quantum 5ghz router, so I don't know if this is the difference. But my wife's S5 isn't having these issues. My S4 repeated disconnects from the router's 5ghz, but her S5 does not! I believe it's ll related.


Any ideas would greatly help!

[Q] Htc One E8 dual sim camera issue topic

Hi,
I have a HTC One E8 dual sim. The current firmware is 4.4.2.
I am facing issues with the video camera. Whenever i try to take a video, and click on the video camera button, there is just a blip on the screen but the video capture doesn't start.

But some time after the restart if i again go to the camera and switch to video camera and try to record, nothing happens.

Can anyone help me out with this issue?

[Q] Note 3 Reboot Issue topic

Surely someone is aware of this issue?

Can you tell me if there are any known reboot issues with a stock Note 3 Verizon device? Mine has been re-booting randomly since I've had it, which is only since January of this year.. I purchased it at Best Buy. I had the Samsung rep at Best Buy re-flash it and I've also previously done a factory reset. Still having the same issue. Very frustrating.

360 Charging issue - Display pulses on charger and does not advance topic

I got my 360 a couple of months ago and I had no issues with it at all until a couple of weeks ago. Sometimes it would stop charging at around 60%. Started happening more frequently and then I noticed when it had been on the charger for a while, the display would brighten and then dim and repeatedly pulse like this and quit charging. I only found one reference online about this and it suggested a problem with the internal charging hardware so I took it back to AT&T and exchanged it for a new one under warranty. The new one is doing the same thing so now I am wondering if it is a 5.0.2 issue but I am not seeing any outcry over it.

I am kind of at a loss as to what to do here. Looking for suggestions from other users. Have any of you heard of this problem and can point me in a direction for help? My next step is to contact Motorola but not looking forward to that.

Thanks in advance

[Q] random calls...anyone else have this issue ? topic

I am not entirely sure if it is an android bug or specifically samsung. Anyway on my s5 and my N4 if I go to make a call occasionally it will say call not sent...when I go to redial the number the phone has already chosen a different contact at random to call...to make the issue worse the screen will then blink on and off in succession preventing me from stopping the random call...this seems to happen once or twice a week...I have already disabled the gesture option that calls people so I am at a loss here...anyone else experience this?

Verizon Galaxy S4 Kids Mode lockscreen backup PIN issue topic

This is mostly an informative post, as I have spent a few hours on the phone with Verizon and Samsung tech support regarding this issue.

This issue affects the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 on Android 4.4.2 and Baseband version I545VRUFNK1.

First, some info. When setting a pattern lock to this phone, it will ask to enter a backup PIN in case the pattern is forgotten. Additionally, this phone has a Kids Mode widget pre-installed by Samsung to download the actual app. Once the app is installed and setup, it will allow a child to play with the phone on any app you designate, keeping them from messing around with settings and etc. This app also requires a PIN to keep kids from exiting Kids Mode or altering it's settings.

The issue with the above mentioned info is this: if Kids Mode is active and the phone goes to sleep, and the lockscreen pattern is entered incorrectly to the point that it will ask you to enter the backup PIN, the backup PIN you created WILL NOT WORK. An error message will appear stating "you have attempted to unlock the phone unsuccessfully X times, you have X times left before a factory restore is performed." Once the last attempt has been reached the error message states this feature can be turned off by going to Settings > Lock Screen > Auto Factory Reset. The additional issue here is that this menu setting does not exist. After ten failed attempts to enter the correct PIN the phone will erase the SD card and perform a factory restore.

This issue ONLY occurs when Kids Mode is installed, is active, and when there is a pattern and backup PIN set for the lockscreen. I was able to reproduce this issue six times with Verizon tech support over the phone.

Verizon did send a replacement but unfortunately this issue occurred with the replacement as they were on identical Android and Baseband versions. Verizon got me in touch with Samsung tech support and they are going to repair the phone for me. My assumption is that they will reflash with a previous version of Android, or newer. Won't know until the phone returns.

If you wish to see a video of the process, please search YouTube for "Samsung Galaxy S4 Kids Mode issue". I'm still a new user here on Xda so I cannot post links.

Peculiar issue on Facebook topic

Hello, good morning, yesterday a very peculiar thing happened on my facebook.
I've sent a message to a person on the 7th of February and on that day the person read the message. So far so good because it appeared the "seen" and the date (same day in that case) and time that the person read.

However ever since yesterday, the same message that was read on the 7th appeared that was not read by the person. What would not be something out of the ordinary, as people sometimes mark messages as "unseen" / unread later (even though 18 days after is strange) ... but what is VERY strange is that in the facebook mobile app it still is set as mark as read on the 7th.

So I thought that the problem would be on my browser and face plugins I have (such as social fixer, FB Purity, Social Reviver), the browser would be the variant of Firefox called Palemoon. So I opened Internet Explorer on a private in-window and opened the facebook ... The message still appears as unread (I must remind you guys that before yesterday it appeared as read in the browser too, not just on the mobile app)

So I thought that the problem would be with the facebook mobile app. I use a Moto G 4G with the crDroid ROM (CM12 based). I have the fb messenger installed, but i've frozen the app because doing such I can read private messages on the facebook app as before the creation of the fb messenger.

So .. I opened the facebook app, clicked on the message icon (the icon that between notifications and people add's) and the part of the private messages from facebook opened in the app (again, as the fb messenger app is frozen, it opens as used to open before the creation of the fb messenger on the facebook main app) .. and the message at the facebook app still says that it was read on the 7th as it used to say in the browser before yesterday.

So i've tried to update the messages and still it say that was the message was read. Then i cleaned the cache ... and still says that it was read.

Now I have a conflict of information. On the WEB www.facebook.com (oh, i also tried to open the internet browser from android and it also says that was not read just as in the PC web browser) said before yesterday that the msg was read just like the mobile app still says today ... but as of yesterday the app still says that was read but on any browser it now say that was not read.

Also only this person message have this conflict. All othe's i have still say was read on both devices. So only this person things have change (at least on the web browser it did)

Which should I trust? Is the android app with a bug (i mean i did a work around to read the messages on the main app instead of read on fb messager).. or is there some trick that people use that makes the message to not show that it was read in the browser .. but on android still says that yes, it was read (if so, please note that the person in question would only place the trick yesterday, and if so, would it affect a message that was read on the 7th)?
