I hope other senior members would refer to this thread for helping Newbies.
If I helped you anyway, Say thanks by hitting the button - Some say its free!!:silly:

Flawed idea.
The whole general Q&A section is a canvas where each person can post his query in a new thread. Then why club them all into one single thread? So that they are segregated and banned from posting elsewhere?
I remember a guy who tried similar ideas on an entire community. It was called "Concentration Camps"...
Don't you agree th idea is flawed? Mods & admins may consider closing this thread....

The idea is not clubbing all together.... Idea is to help... Intent is to cut down on the repeated ( Same question) new threads!!
And General section is not only meant to create threads!! If you get!!! :silly:

The search option is useless. What you could do is make something like a contents or an index in the first post. Update this with the solutions to problems that are solved in this thread.

The only chance this has of working is to create an index on the first page and keep it up to date and even then you will still get noobs posting the same questions in new threads because:
1) they do not search the forum first or even read the sticky posts and
2) even when they do, they not read the existing posts thoroughly enough to find the answer.

My point is... Lets try! Not only me.. pm your ideas I will add them to the OP with your name.. it might take a bit but... No wrong in trying.

Let me ask first question
My battery percentage never reaches above 56% no matter how long I charge..when plugged if I reboot.. that reaches 81 percent... I haven't seen 100% in last 10 days.
Earlier: I was asked to discharge it completely , take the battery out and completely charge. This worked for once.. I tried again didn't work!
Any solutions?

Try and reset your battery stats in recovery and then give your phone a few days of use where you run the battery down and fully charge up (overnight, for example).
I've done this myself before, especially when changing ROMs, like from ICS to JB.

Could really help... Did that, too. But I don't remember anymore if it was that what solved it for me. I guess most importantly, let it completely drain and then try to charge it with AC adapter until it's full. If it doesn't go up to 100%, wipe stats and do it again.

Thread cleaned, corrective action taken.
If you are upset about someone's comment, report it and leave the thread, let us moderators handle things.
Getting into a pissing match is pointless and WILL get you in trouble, especially when you level insults at eachother.
Stay on topic or leave.
Final warning.

hmm... that's weird. 2 other options: Maybe it's your battery. Do you have access to a spare one for testing? OR Your USB-port is screwed. That was may problem, too. I had to push and hold the plug towards the display that it charged correctly...

Wiping battery stats won't do anything, it is reset every time you gully charge the phone.
Will edit this post in a few minutes with a link to a post on G+. I hate googling on my phone to find the links I'm looking for...

*edit*
This file [batterystats.bin] is used to maintain, across reboots, low-level data about the kinds of operations the device and your apps are doing between battery changes. That is, it is solely used to compute the blame for battery usage shown in the "Battery Use" UI in settings. That is, it has deeply significant things like "app X held a wake lock for 2 minutes" and "the screen was on at 60% brightness for 10 minutes."
It has no impact on the current battery level shown to you. It has no impact on your battery life.

I tried to go through most of the forum posts but I dont think I could find my answers..
I was wondering if anyone knows what is wrong with my phone. I did an update and now my phone wont work back to normal. All it shows up is the G1 words across a black screen and that is about it.
When I tried to do a reboot it wouldn't work, I can no longer connect my phone with my USB to the computer, so what other options do I have with this matter? I know my phone isn't a brick.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks and good night..

I thought this was more appropriate, since according to the OP he searched and couldn't find an answer anywhere on the forums, and this shows that there are in fact thousands of his exact question that have been answered. I like the shock and awe of 57,900 results.

So, does anyone know which rom does not have it? And how does one notice baseband wavelocks without better battery stats?
I dont trust better battery stats app because it might cause a wakelock or battery drain.

I'm not rude (rude would be to say that you're dumb but I would never do that), the question got asked and answered like 100 times in this lg forum and over on most forums with cm as well. Just type "baseband wake lock" in the search field (like you're supposed to do if you would've read the rules of XDA) and you will see it's really bothering me that nobody uses the search function. I for myself was like ghosting around the first month in XDA to get basic knowledge and solve my problems.

Yes, searched in google the first time. I still dont know what baseband_XMN is. Is it a process? What does it do? Nobody answers these questions. Just a bunch of guys saying what they got from their apps, their experience and so on..

Well, I dont seem to notice them then. II dont see any huge battery drain during the night.
And your answer contradicts the answers from the guy who started the basebandxmn wavelock thread in this forum. He assumed that the stock rom 4.0.3 has no wavelocks.

The purpose of this wakelock is not fully identified, some thought it was caused by bad connections to network (WiFi/2G/3G) but it is proven that this wakelock also occurs when the device has no simcard inserted (Nexus 7 first got up with this I think).
I think nobody really knows what exactly is causing this and the "fixes" in our forum just don't show the wakelock but the drain itself is still there.
Nearly every new device since Nexus 7 has this problem (even the HTC One).
That means that it's caused by the android system itself and is not specified to any kind of device or manufacturer.
I personally don't have that much problems with it cause I charge my phone all night (or as long as I stay at home) and the battery life is average so it gets me through the day.
EDIT: And sorry for my answer but I'm tired of people not searching cause they are too lazy (I don't mean you in this case). There are so many people just asking questions over and over again and I know the search function of XDA is kind of bad, but if you use Google properly (type "site:www.xda-developers.com "search term" " and Google will do the job) you will get your answers. I for me have solved or at least got my questions answered every time by searching.

[Q] Note N7000 ultra-superbricked

Hello everybody. You're my last hope!
Here's my situation: I bought a second hand Note a year back, and it's suddenly done a hard brick on me. So hard my computer can't even see it when I use the USB data cable.
I'd rooted it with CWM, flashed a custom JB ROM, and had been using Link2SD to shift some non-essential apps to a secondary partition and free up some system space. Although all the above came with their hiccups, I'd been using the phone without a hitch for about a week when "it" happened.
Today I pick it up and it has the "Galaxy Note N7000" welcome screen, which disappears when I hold down the power button. After that, nothing. Nothing from the power button, nothing from the power button+menu button+volume up. Nothing when I replace the battery with my fully charged spare. Nothing when I plug it in to charge, nothing when I connect it to the PC. No warning, nothing. Out of the blue, just like that.
After a bit of online rummaging I think I need a JTAG fix, something like "Samsung Galaxy Note - JTAG Brick Repair Service (Debricking/Unbrick/Brick FIX)" by MobileTechVideos on Youtube (I'd paste a link, but this site). Problem is, I'm all the way out here in Turkey. What would you suggest?
Thank you in advance.
PS: I'm struck by how all this makes you appreciate the simpler things in life. Like your father-in-law's little old beat-up Nokia that never skipped a beat all these years and is now saving your life. Is it really so hard to make a phone that is guaranteed to boot no matter what?

Sorry for not reading more carefully, and for not realising the difference between recovery and download mode.
I've tried vol down and I'm still getting nothing. I tried it with my USB cable plugged into my PC, and once I got a notification that it tried and failed to find a device driver for the "Unknown device".

Firstly, my PC only saw the device ONCE. I haven't been able to get it to happen again. Secondly, even if I do download a "Samsung N7000 driver" or whatnot, it's no good if the PC can't see that I've plugged in an N7000. "Unknown device"???
Reports of my stupidity have been greatly exaggerated.
Some maturity please
Goodness you guys are in a real snark aren't you?
Look, the whole point of this forum is that I don't know something that you do. I ask the question, and anybody who's feeling helpful today tells me what I need to know.
But when somebody, as in my case, clearly isn't aware of, say, a separate download mode that is accessed by pressing the vol down key, all they get is sarcasm and snobbery. The person asking for help gets treated like an idiot, and this gets "thanked" for "putting the noob in his place". Everybody's so busy giving themselves an ego massage they forget to come up with any actual solutions.
I didn't come here for that.

Who started the sarcasm? The person who wanted help switched to arrogancy when a really helping member showed the correct way.
And: you install custom roms on your device without even trying to read and learn as a necessary preparation. But demanding help without listening.
As you said: we didn't come here for that too.
You might reconsider and start reading the standard tutorials here how to root etc. Most members did this. The sort of "Noob" and "so I do not need to read myself" are luckily rare.

I'm sorry if that came across as arrogant. Not being aware of a vol down download mode, I thought it was the other person who hadn't bothered to read up, and that was my way of keeping it light instead of flaming the person. Turned out the person who hadn't read carefully enough was me, and I apologised for it, if you remember.
Actually, I have read the standard tutorials about how to root and followed the instructions very closely. I also am not the kind of person who says "I do not need to read myself", I merely misread, as I said about ten times already. I simply never needed the download mode while rooting my phone, and missed the distinction between download mode and recovery mode. Strange, I know, but there it is.
I am not demanding help without listening. What I am demanding is a little patience and politeness. Can you say that you have added anything to the conversation except sarcasm and put-downs?
my last addon to this not even funny thread:
if you read so many tutorials and following them so closely but missed download mode: maybe better stop flashing.

See, this is exactly what I'm talking about. "If you haven't worked that out by now you must be an idiot." I didn't come here for that.

You are insulting very valuable and esteemed members of this forum who are rendering selfless service with their immense knowledge.
Edit: It's a pity that you didn't understand their kindness and politeness.

So objecting to insults is... an insult?

I am very thankful of the assistance given, and I have apologised whenever I have been at fault. But ThaiDai basically called me an idiot (hence the double quotes), and all I am saying is that snide insults are never, ever justified. Or are you saying they are, and I have no right to object?
Sorry for poisoning this thread...
You know what, I've had enough of this argument. More fool me for trying to talk down noob haters when all I wanted was a solution to my problem.
Thank you to Spydertracks for being so patient with me to start with, and sorry for not reading more carefully. Thank you to rangercaptain for the recommendation. If anybody else has anything to add I'd be very grateful.

If the mods are reviewing what ever they are let them do their jobs. Someone had to have shown proof for them to start one.
BAD ASS NOTE 4

+1 So Agree with you but everything has been credited to the correct Dev / Contributes
it seems very odd with in 10 hours of the rom being up it's getting reported :crying: why not the V3.0 / beta ?
but i do agree with what you said .... I'm just a lil sad :crying:
I hate when XDA moderators think they are the police. They should not just shut down an amazing ROM thread. They should talk with the op first and try to resolve issues. Open the thread for crying out loud!

ikr wtf and thank you for your input :highfive: Your awesome & 1st lol
Any idea on why it was reported? I've been in his thread since day one on the Note 4 and it has been one of the best threads I have ever been apart of!
No one knows the full story yet.. We may never know.. I know mod kennyg is fair. He does not step in without reason or for kicks. Let it play out.
BAD ASS NOTE 4
I know Brian is not guilty of the infraction/s. He has the type of thread that we used to have back in 2005 when we were on XDA's. He is responsive friendly and willingly answers the same questions over and over. He would and has actually discouraged bad behavior of all kinds.
Obviously the mods didn't spend any time in the thread.
I am on any list too vouch for his forum behavior.
Sounds like someone made a big deal about people who donated getting to test the betas of the DK ROM first.
@bri315317 isn't selling access to his betas. He figured the fair way to let people test was to offer the beta to people who ALREADY DONATED. It wasn't a ploy to get people to donate. Brian doesn't need the money. Its his hobby. He does it for himself and for us. I have donated several times to the Note 3 and now Note 4 DK ROM work. Nobody made me do it. I did it because I appreciate his work.
If this investigation goes on more than a day then there is some serious injustice going on here.
He is also a family man who has helped me and a million people in that thread
#freebri and fire the mod.

Couldnt agree with you more! He has one of the best threads! Rom talk, off topic talk, pretty much anything goes and its very easy going. I just cant possibly see anything he could have done wrong..

Mods are just reacting to reports.

Did you get your device fixed?
I found I had to flash the rom first set it up and then the theme or it would boot loop.

Guys,
Please this is not the place to discuss these things. What's done is done. Life goes on! No matter what happens, it will be for the better in the end
Only people in the know, know the situation, No need in speculating on it.
Brian.

WE ARE DYNAMIC :good: sorry maybe i just care about this more then others
You think this will help the cause? Wrong, i pretty much can promise this only will annoy the mods, and therefore cause more issue to whatever they are trying to address. If there is no harm, no foul, then you all have nothing to worry about. Just let them do their jobs, and move on.
As stated above, I will suggest in letting this thread die as much as I want to chime in myself. We all know this thread will not serve its purpose given the past several post. Speculations are not good for the cause, personal opinions are not good for it.
Kenny is fair and does not act out for no reason. Let the investigation continue as it is and the end result will speak for itself. After all, that is what investigations are right?
