[Q] Moving from HTC Desire to S5 Mini, how to keep app data? topic

Hello,

I'm the new owner of a S5 Mini (G800F) with the latest OTA update and moving from an HTC Desire under rooted 2.3.3 is quite impressive.
But now, I'd like to move my data from the old phone to the new one. I have read around to find out how to do this and came up with two solutions:

1. Root the S5 Mini and use Titanium Backup to selectively restore what I need
2. Use Helium Backup to get data from the Desire and then selectively restore what I need on the S5 Mini

My problem is that rooting the S5 Mini will trigger the Knox counter and thus void its warranty. I'd like to avoid that at least for a while and so it seems that option 1 is not possible for me.
I went looking for another solution and saw that Helium backup was highly recommended. Unfortunately, the Android App is not available for the Desire under 2.3.3 and so this seems like a dead end as well.
Now, would it be possible to get Helium to use data created by Titanium backup? Or would it be possible to extract the data from the Desire in a way that Helium would be able to use?

Any help would be much welcome.

Regards.

Need help with unlocking Galaxy S3 Mini topic

Hi guys, I'm trying to unlock my S3 Mini and I'm having no luck so far. I've managed to root the phone using the iRoot (former Vroot) program and it worked nicely. At least it seems it did, now it does ask me to give su eprmissions to allpications and busybox is installed.

As for the unlocking itself, I tried several methods. Firstly, there was some service menu, accessible by a long string of numbers on the dialer, then going to network lock menu and setting something there, but the menu isn't there. Or better said, when I come to the Network Lock, it says only Not Active and no further options available. Then I tried the GalaxSim Unlock just to see, but as it said in the notes, this version of phone is not supported and so it didn't work. Same with another app, Galaxy S Unlock, or something like that. That one needs busybox, so I installed the 1.22 I think, but it says that there is a problem with busybox or something. It does say in the notes, that recommended is 1.17 busybox, so I keep that as a backup hope :) but it seems again, that the phone is not supported...

So basically, I have a rooted S3 Mini, that is still locked to T-mobile. I'm not sure, whether the country of origin matters here, but I think it was purchased in Austria (I am not the first owner) and need to unlock it for slovak O2. So far I am actually very happy with it's stock ROM, so I'm not planning to flash it completely, just sim unlock. So if anyone has any idea, what I can do to avoid going to a phone service and have it done for money, I'd appreciate it.

S4 Mini overheat and battery drain after KitKat Update topic

Hi all.
I am a new user of this community.
I am looking for a fix to my troubles.

Two weeks ago I updated my s4 mini to KitKat via OTA.
My Galaxy was TOTALLY officially, no custom rom, no recovery, no root... so i updated in the "classic" way.

From that day my smartphone drains battery really, really, fast and becomes really hot.
I am talking about 50° celsius when i only browse internet or use whatsapp to send message, and in the same time the battery drains fastly.

I rooted the phone, look to wakelock, look to process that could drain it, i made two factory reset, flash via Odin to the Italy Stock 4.4.2 (before it has got the English firmware version), buy a new battery, use different charger, calibrate it by app, calibrate it with the non-root method... but the problem persist.

I have got GPS off, Wifi OFF, NFC Off, S-Beam Off, Bluethoot Off... i only use internet via GSM or UMTS, no LTE.
To browse I use Opera Mini, but it's the same thing with Chrome.

I don't know what to do, i don't think it's an app problem, and it's impossibile that is by hardware, because with Jeally Bean the smartphone goes great.

I am actually trying Coolify after try Battery Doctor and a lot of other apps, like Gsam Battery, Greenify, Battery Calibrate ecc...

I've attacched some screenshot here. How can you see by the battery graph the battery drains like there's not a tomorrow in same time :crying:

ps: sorry for my english, how can you see by the screenshot i am italian.

S4 MINI - Bluetooth Troubles topic

Hi everyone,
I've been running LiquidSmooth on my wife's S4Mini as well as my S4, and ran into an issue earlier today, that I can't seem to resolve.

I can't pair the device no matter what I try, apparently the UP24 is using Bluetooth Smart, and the error I get is:

Couldn't pair with UP24 because of an incorrect PIN or passkey.

Does anyone have any ideas on what I can try to remedy this?

Many thanks,
--schiz

[Q] S4 mini stuck on boot What should I do? topic

Hey,
I tried rooting my S4 Mini by first flashing clockworkmod and then installing the rootkit. But on boot after the Samsung tone it shuts off. I have tried wiping cache partition, data, cache, dalvick cache, etc. I also tried flashing the stock rom with no success. The phone is soft bricked-i can go on download and clockworkmod recovery. Wondering if the pit file would help but I dont know where to find it and I am a bit of a newbie. Any help would be greatly appreciated. What should I do?

Device Memory running low in the first days ZTE mini topic

Hey,

After having the device for a few days, I received a notification that the device storage was almost full. I realised that this was true and I placed some applications in the internal storage.

However, still the device storage doesn't have much capacity and many applications cannot be moved. It's 6.58 gb with runntime space 4.12 and apps 1.8gb already.

Does this happen to everyone or it has to do with my rom?

And can I do anything? Because soon it will be again full, I guess.

Thanks

Sub-forum for S3 Mini 730A topic

Mods:

Can you make a sub-forum for Samsung S3 Mini 730A? Because this phone is entirely different from international version which is i8930 (something like that) and the rooting processing, and installing TWRP ROM are very different. So far no one was able to root 730A with any success, only 4.2 not 4.4.2.

Thanks!

[Q] Galaxy s4 Mini Bloatware Questions ( NEED HELP PLEASE!!! ) topic

So i have a rooted Galaxy s4 mini ( SCH-i435 ) and i removed most of the bloatware on the phone, and ive just found out about the new update for my phone ( kitkat 4.4 i think ) and just found out its VERY bad to do an update without the bloatware installed cause it causes the phone to brick itself.
now i have alot of the apps ( not all but some ) on my google playstore account and the thing is, is that when i go to check on them in the application Manager and it showes them as apps ( Not surprising ) but im almost absolutely sure i dont have all the necessary apps ( if someone would be able to get me a list id appreciate it so much ) and i cant really find a list of the installed apps on the web and also im curious as in if i need to set those certain apps as a system app ( and how would i go about doing that ) . Id really like some help on this ASAP so i dont have to go out and get a new phone and also is there a specific amount of time before the system OTA update Wont be allowed to be ignored?. Thanks

[Q] S4 Mini Un-Root help pse topic

Hi guys,

I bought a Samsung S4 Mini (GT-I9190) from a guy. Phone looked brand new, in box with unopened accessories.

However I got a lot of 492 and internal memory errors. The phone shows that I have 32GB free space, but when I connect it to my laptop it only shows 120MB. The phone also complains than it only has 120MB of free internal space available, hence the 492 errors (I think).

After trying almost everything recommended I noticed that when I connect the phone to my laptop it shows up as "serrano3g" in Windows (8.1) file manager. After searching I discovered that the phone has been rooted with "serrano3g". I followed the instructions on "lionking853 blogspot" but the problem is that Samsung Kies v3.2.(something) does not connect to the phone, so I cannot download the drivers needed to un-root the phone.

I have setup the developer option with the "debug-usb" box checked. Also, I cannot do System Updates as it complains of a network error.

Here is some info gathered from the phone:
AP:I9190XXUAMF7
CP:I9190XXUAMF7
CSC:I9190OJVAMG2
Android Version: 4.3
Kernel Version: 3.4.0-933422 se.infra@SEP-129 #1 Fri Jun 21 13:30:42 KST 2013
Build Number JDQ39.I9190XXUAMF7
Custom Build Version: v.s.140918

Guys I would greatly appreciate it if someone can give me some pointers ...

Thank You

Danny
