[Q] Anyone experience earpiece issue?

On my skyrocket from AT&T I was having an issue with the battery indicator getting stuck at 100%.
I updated the phone to the latest OTA update, no root or anything on this phone, all completely stock.
After update phone info is as follows:
Model Number: SAMSUNG-SGH-I727
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: I727UCLA3
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.11
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.UCLA3
After I did the update the battery indicator has not come back (awesome right?, not so fast.)
Now I have an issue with call quality, my best attempt at describing it is like the ear piece sounds blown out, it kind of has a vibrate when people talk, Its not just one persons phone either, its any call I get/place.
I'm not sure if I should try a factory reset, revert back to 2.3.5?, Go to AT&T for a new one.
If anyone has had this issue and knows how to fix it please post. I apologize ahead of time if this is already posted somewhere, I looked for a few hours on google and couldn't find it anywhere. Also even if you don't know how to fix it, could you please post if your having the same issue so I know I'm not alone and have some ammo if I do have to go to AT&T.

Visit AT&T Store
Of course I'm 4 days outside my 30 day trial period so I would have to get a replacement mailed to me if I can't get it to work.
Lady I spoke with there was very nice (as always) but didn't have any idea what to do (as always) and advised I try and factory reset it. What the hell, mine as well.
Also got her to tell me that if I root and custom rom it and it still dosn't work I can still RMA it. So she went against what all their documentation says so now I can do what I want
Figure ill factory reset first, if that dosn't work I'll ODIN it back to the original 2.3.5 if possible.
Ill keep updating this thread though incase anyone else has a similar issue.

Haha, just because she said that doesn't mean anything. Read the contract, that trumps what some lady says. Anyways, you can flash back to stock and warranty it, so it doesn't matter what anyone says

Absolutely Right

As the title says you absolutely correct. Lady probably didn't have a clue lol.
I called their warranty support line and am going to drive to their wallingford exchange place.
I was talking with my father before I called and figured if I went in and said get a manager, and told him/her if I don't have a new phone in my hand in 10 minutes, your losing a customer in 10 minutes, I bet I would get my phone
Regardless I'm getting a replacement, I did try the factory reset, didn't work. Also tried downgrading the device to 2.3.5 stock, and this also did not work.
Think its hardware, the static is only on the ear piece. Speaker phone, head phones, and bluetooth do not have the issue so I think its a odd coincidence

To anyone that may have been checking on this, it seems I got a rare case, there was actually a hardware problem on my device. Just a coincidence that I noticed it right after an update, I took it to the Customer Service place AT&T has in Wallingford, CT and the lady tried to re-flash the phone (what she said was standard procedure, she HAS to with every issue.) This didn't work so she gave me a new one.
All in all, only bad part of the experience was that it happened at all. New phone is working great.

Glad tohear that you got this taken care of.

[Q] Odd Phone Behavior after flashing H810PR10 (Lost 30GB of memory?)

It would appear that, in my habit of ruining everything, I failed the low effort boot and bricked my new LG G4. Thankfully, I remembered that in this instance you can flash the stock firmware to return to default. Unfortunately, the US firmware wasn't available, but apparently the Puerto Rico one was. I flashed that and got my phone back working just fine, kind of.
First, it doesn't lock normally. Usually, I set it to the 10 minute lock delay, where I just have to swipe unless 10 minutes have passed, then it requires the password. Instead of going to a lock screen, it skips that and just goes right into the phone. It's probably a settings thing, but it's weird.
The worst thing is that I have apparently lost 30GB of storage to "miscellaneous". When I plug it into my computer, it says that I only have 1GB of storage on the whole phone. What is going on here?

Same thing happened to me. Your not gonna be able to flash anything else because of the space on the phone, and can't get the System Image onto a MicroSD card to try and fix it either. I tried both then I just called up AT&T and told them about a problem which I did encounter with the flash making noise when turned on. They replaced the phone
Not sure if there is an actual work around to get the space back but what happened was you flashed it to the wrong partition.

I have the same issue. No one has figured it out yet

The problem is that I'm not encountering any issues like that so far. I doubt that they'd replace an issue caused by failed root.

Sorry for the double post, but is there any way that I can create a situation where I could get my phone replaced? I just got it, so it still is under warranty.

Flash the ATT system image back on to it and brick it is about your only option.

Best case scenario would be to call them up and tell them your phone got bricked due to an update. Then let them know that you needed the said phone in a working condition until you can get a replacement.
Or tell them a bull**** problem, normally they send you the replacement then you ship yours out to them. Done this twice already I'm on my 3rd G4

Can I just take it to the shop bricked "from an update" and get a new one there or do I have to mail it in?

How do I flash the stock att .Img with a full system data. Sorry of this is a noob question

You probably can. Its still under warranty so you should still get it replaced

You can take it to a shop, but they will still call customer service and you will have to mail it in still. I paid extra to have a next day replacement.
Was told they don't switch phones in store anymore. Had a few local friends confirm their warranty replacements were done the same way from in store. I'm not sure if that is a national policy, regional, or local. I can say I did like it better when they could switch out in store.

Anybody come up with another solution besides sending the phone back??? I won my phone off a att contest. So I doubt if att will do anything about it. Plus I can't install the stock Img and re soft brick the phone because I don't have anymore space

Guide to updating your H950 (US AT&T variant) to 5.1.1 via OTA

Hi, I just wanted to give everyone some information to updating to 5.1.1 as many of you are probably buying these due to the recent sales. If you don't want to root but wanted the 5.1.1 update through AT&T, here is the guide. You could also try rolling the date method but it did not work for me. I actually bought a bunch of these phones for friends and family, and I've updated five of them to 5.1.1 through AT&T OTA update, and this method is very time efficient
Side note: if you have more than one G Flex2 that you are looking to update, you can update them all using just one sim and swapping them between phones.
Before you begin, do a factory reset under settings if you've already pressed software update and tried rolling the date a few times to get the update. Afterward, do not press software update until you are sure that the AT&T person has pushed the update.
*If you had previously rooted your phone, you must unroot before trying the OTA update, as it will prevent it from installing.
Here are my steps (probably takes around 30 minutes):
1. Register for the gophone plan with the AT&T sim card and put the minimum $10 credit into the plan. For the IMEI, put all zeroes in. This will allow you to select the $2 monthly plan, which you ultimately won't be selecting but instead will select the $1 100mb daily package after your account and sim have been activated.
2. Turn the phone on with your newly activated gophone sim. TURN ON WIFI and keep it on WIFI until your update is downloaded, installed, and finished.
3. Directly call the gophone support line: 800.901.9878, and voice navigate your way to technical support (it's an automated system).
4. When the person picks up on customer service, ask them to put you through to advanced technical support, and if they ask what the call is for, tell them that you were disconnected while talking with an advanced technical support line as this will get you where you need to faster.
5. Ask the person on advanced technical support to push an update to your phone, and tell them that you've tried manually updating through the software update on your phone under settings numerous times. If they insist that they cannot push updates and you have to do it yourself on your phone, tell them that your friend has a G Flex2 with a gophone plan, and he/she was able to get the update pushed with a call to advanced technical support. If you think that the support person is being stubborn and not even attempting to try it, just hang up and try again.
6. Help the support person find the update that you are looking for by telling them the update is called H95011x. DO NOT get the H95011z beforehand, as it will not help you. Ask explicitly for the H95011x update. You can also read some more information from this page, which is the link to the page with the update information (edit: cannot post the link since I'm a newbie... Alternatively, you can find the software info page it if you type H95011x on google and look for the link to the site att.com)
7. Keep asking them to push update from their side, and you will know that they've pushed it when you go to the software update under settings on your phone and it says something different now. Instead of "look for update software" or something similar, it will now say, "continue with software update". When you press it, a notification will appear, saying "communication in progress". Tap on the button a few times to make sure that it keeps saying "communication in progress".
8. When you see "communication in progress", just leave the phone alone for the next hour or two, as the phone is downloading the update file without showing you any sort of progress bar. Keep the phone connected to wifi.
9. Come back and a notification will prompt you to install update and the phone will restart.
Hope this helps! I know that getting the AT&T OTA update can be a pain and I wished that I had some guide to follow when I was first trying to get the update.

I am on 5.0.1 v10d right now and rooted. Do I have to unroot in order for the update to work?

I'm not sure, but reading things about going from AT&T 5.1.1 to rooting 5.1.1 PR bricking some phones makes me think that it might be a good idea to unroot.

This is the best guide/advice on how to get 5.1.1 update. Took me 20 min to get the H95011x update and another 15 min on same date to get H95011z.
I wasted about 2 hours trying to get the update OTA by changing dates using my coworker's sim card on Att postpaid plan.
When I read this guide I knew right away the $10 top up will not be waisted. I went ahead and followed it exactly and am so glad I did. The phone is so much better now.
khlavkalash thank you for taking the time, register and putting together this guide! I will also try to contribute by answering further questions in this thread.

Here is the link for the AT&T website detailing the H95011z update. Now if I could just find a rep that is capable of pushing the update to my phone. Grr.

Wish this worked...
I followed this process twice (on two separate days) and they insisted that updates are released only in "batches" and that they have zero control over pushing updates. This phone is awesome, but with it being tethered to ATT for updates makes it so hard to love.

I've had the same issue as you. I was lucky enough to have my sim associated with an iphone plan from way back in the day. As soon as the tech associated my sim to an android data plan it kicked off the 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 H95011x update. Now trying to get them to push the H95011z update has been an adventure in futility.
I will update you if I find another way.

Hmm, I opened a new gophone plan and added 10 bucks of data just so I could do this. Been sitting on my shelf for the better part of two days doing nothing. I hope you get the H95011z update soon. Heck, I'd be thrilled to just get the x update.
Thanks for the info.

Make sure you talk to advanced technical support and use the first rep that picks up the phone just to get transferred further.
If advaced tech says it comes in batches - tell him "I understand this is normal process, however according to my extensive research there is an issue with this particular phone getting update automatically. My friend had the update pushed by advanced technical support last week. Please ask arround how to do it."
Be polite and they will do it. I called last Saturday. Both reps knew how to do it, both were very courteous and even insisted to stay on the phone until the whole process is completed althogh it was not needed.

Hmm perhaps I will give that a try. Honestly, I am okay with waiting for the update but the real issue is how long will I have to wait? A few days is fine but weeks....that isn't worth it. When a get a few more free moments I will try again. Hopefully this time I can get someone to push it out to me. I did get to advanced tech support and the guys were super courteous; they just insisted on me waiting.
Thanks for the help!

I finally got a tech to push the update after convincing him to do a google search for H95011z. Update started and then failed, when it booted the notification was that it failed because root detection was triggered. This is after I used the tool to bring my phone back to stock and downloading a root checker app that showed I do not have it. Sigh, back to square one.

Please add a note to unroot/not be rooted before starting this process. If the phone is rooted it will not update from the OTA download

Also note that the system restore might not strip all artifacts from rooting.

FYI I posted this in another thread. It doesn't help you get to 5.1.1 but it might help you go from x variant to z.
Finally got a tech to do the push but the push failed because it detected ROOT even though I had done the system restore along with verified with root checker saying no root installed.
At that point I gave up because my only option was a factory flash. On a whim I decided to run the backup/restore tool with the 11z .img file knowing I had nothing to lose. From what I can tell so far, it worked fine and I'm now running 11z. I ran the stagefright detector and now my device only shows one vulnerability instead of several.
I will now start tearing it apart with root and etc, if it craps out I'll let everyone know.

I finally decided that waiting for ATT to push out an update that likely wasn't going to come anytime soon wasn't worth it and flashed the H950PR rom. It was super simple, very quick and went through without a hitch. It runs WAY faster than the 5.0.1 rom from ATT and no bloatware....gotta love that. The only thing that doesn't work is the LG Smart World app cause it detects me being in another country (even though I'm in the US) but there is a web interface that works just the same so no big deal. I have fully working LTE and my battery life is superb.
Thanks for all your help and your in depth guide. I (and other I'm sure) very much appreciate your efforts.

Congrats! I am jealous, I had updated my phone to 5.1.1 before the PR option was discovered.

Well since I never had the ATT one, I cannot say exactly. But judging from the 5.0.1 that the phone came with, it doesn't get nearly as hot, the battery life is quite a bit better (used to get about 3-4 hours of SOT, now its 5-6), standby battery is CRAZY good, its runs generally faster, plus the update came straight from LG so when they release another update it will come straight from them making it easy to update. The same update method should work. The only thing I truly miss is the Glance from the lock screen. It still works, but it used to have a lit background image; now it doesn't have that. Its just the normal material color background. Nothing huge, just a very very minor cosmetic thing.

ATT OTA 5.1.1 does the same.
On the other note, I do not understand how are you planning to get update directly from LG. My understanding is that you will have to wait for that small PR cell company to release another update and somebody to come up with a way to apply it. I have more faith in ATT, then into a small PR cell company in regard to supporting this phone with future updates

Root LG G Stylo Boost 6.0

root confirmed. Basically keep running kingroot. If it reboots it didnt work. It will say it failed only. When you get the root failed msg, close app and then reopen. It will ask for permission to optimize a few things..grant it. Boom rooted. Unfortunately, root is lost if you reboot. About to try supersu me when i get off work.
Update- Supersu me seems to be uneffective
http://1drv.ms/1TgZCJm

Fingers crossed !

We're gonna need someone that has been down these type of roads before to help. I got supersu in and busybox in and removed kingroot through terminal, but when I tried to put in the supersu binaries, NO GO. I still think the wide release of MM to all LG will get more people onboard.

I wonder if Dominick has even seen this yet? Seemed like he would have said something by now. Maybe I'll shoot him a text when I get a few.

I sent him one yesterday, no response

Man hope they can get it to stay after reboot

Tapping fingers....anxiously waiting....

waiting for status update..... please devs dont leave us hanging on lol we need yall

All this stuff is getting passed around and some have made reference to a dev here on the G4 that might have some answers, and others are optimistic on androidforums. I think and I may have stated it before, that the wide spread adoption of MM on LG will provide more help. I tried to get some info on the kingroot thread here, but they really are focusing on 5.1 and lower. The kingroot that we used here is for 5.1, theoathkeeperalpha kept on keeping on an it worked as a temp. The guys on androidforum seem to think that temp root and busybox and manipulating selinux is all that might be needed, except for some expertise on manipulating selinux. We, us that know little, can only keep the convo going. It is, I'm not buying a nexus to get root.

we will keep it alive till then...... phone isnt dead yet still has potential i am still as happy with it as i was day one..even after 2 times rma lol. just wish it had unlocked bootloader this version of phone needed it soooo bad

read a post dom is gone from here for now he left due to mods or something so our hopes are starting to go away as he was only one as of lately even trying to work on this phone.

There are quite a few, with much more experience than Dominic on, http://androidforums.com/forums/lg-g-stylo.3133/ , that are knee deep in what is going on. We knew there would be an impasse from the beginning if using any phone with MM without having an unlocked bootloader. But at least with temp root through kingroot, and some say one-click root from here, you can alter your build.prop and de-bloat some of the google bundle. So it's not like we are completely blocked.
When kingroot starts doing MM exploits then maybe we'll be saved. Kingroot has only done root up to 5.1 Lollipop, so they either get out of the future of they're money making game or set to work to exploit it. It's the same with the boss here at XDA, @Chainfire. Without an exploit for MM on phones without unlocked bootloaders (the vast majority, I might add) supersu slows forward progress. So an exploit of sorts WILL materialize when demand (MM enthusiasts) aren't spending money at supersu and kingrootland.

Bricked my phone. Sent it off to LG yesterday. I got all carried away with altering the build.prop and root-uninstalling google apps. I had disabled the apps previous to the kingroot exploit, and decided that now with temp root I would be O.K. Well, I started getting this google service quitting popup continuously and it un-nerved me enough to do a factory reset. I foolishly forgot to at least try to clean out all the kingroot and supersu files etc that were in there, and when it re-booted I couldn't get beyond wi-fi setup as when it attempted to hook up with my google account, the dredded google services stopped popped up. Even after reset. So off to LG. They were nice at 2:30 am and that was pretty cool. I hope they don't give me grief, but it was factory reset and the temp root was gone. So fingers crossed. @[email protected] did you ever find out how to check your bootloader? It seems to me the times I booted into recovery (volume dwn/power) and chose restart bootloader the phone would just reboot. If the bootloader was unlocked would it go into the bootloader menu? That's where fastboot would come into play. Anyway I'm going to be skiddish about messing around if and when my phone gets returned, like everyone else.

Bricked my phone. Sent it off to LG yesterday. I got all carried away with altering the build.prop and root-uninstalling google apps. I had disabled the apps previous to the kingroot exploit, and decided that now with temp root I would be O.K.

I stopped using the stylo before I even found the temp root. So I wasn't afraid to screw it up lol. Same thing happened to me that happened to you and I flashed the file Dom posted the untouched 6.0 and it worked for me. Still tinkering and the stylo has pretty much become the phone that's teaching me my way around adb .
I bought the Irulu V3 6.5 inch screen 16gb ROM and 2 gigs ram off amazon for 149 bucks..don't let the price fool you..damn good phone so far! If you're around WiFi all the time like me you can get unlimited talk text and 100mb of web at airvoice wireless for 20$. Make sure you have good at&t service where you live . Its like a sore peter,you can't beat it.

You mean you flashed Dominic's untouched 6.0 on top of a bricked 6.0? I maybe should have tried that.

Yea, flashed right over the top

Been ghosting on this site for a while now, but now I should really start putting my 2 cents in.
Anyways, I had the G Stylo for VM and bricked it when I tried to replace the Kingroot binaries with SuperSU ones. Ironically enough, before I did that, It seemed that my root permissions didnt stick until AFTER my reboot. When I bricked I stayed up all night trying to get my phone back but was unsuccessful seeing as I also factory reset :crying: But I just got my second phone back from Best Buy after I had issues with my sim. Gonna go try to get kingroot back on it. Any tips for me prior? Weirdest thing is that this phone came from the factory with Marshmallow.. Connect at VM told me the manufacture date was January 1st. Running Ubuntu 15.10 and am struggling to get ADB backup to save a file that has a size higher than 0 bytes..

I got my VM Stylo from Best Buy too. It came with 6.0 as well. kingroot has not worked on it at all. Maybe that's a good thing...

I had trouble with Ubuntu 15.10 as well. Having better luck with 11.4. Hope this helps

Realistically i'll just skip the backups til i get root. Any news of getting into the bootloader? My first one would go into what I believe to be bootloader mode but still wouldnt come up under fastboot unless im getting things mixed up. And what are we using to flash on this pile?

Question OTA Updates failing with, "partition superReason SUPER: Build-id does not match with the reference"

**Solved posting update in thread.
Purchased S21+ from Samsung online for Verizon Network, every OTA update since purchase results in it failing to the downloading screen with "
partition super Reason SUPER: Build-id does not match with the reference" I have been able to resurrect it successfully by entering the recovery mode and performing a factory reset. But each OTA update push results in the same issue.
Samsung wants me to either send them the phone or take to a repair location for a software refresh as they called it. Problem is nearest repair center is 3+ hours away from me or 5-7 day turn around on the mailed device with no backup phone.
Has anyone else encountered this and does anyone here have a solution to fix this myself? I am comfortable using Odin and flashing roms but not sure if this will fix it.

have you talked to verizon?

Yes, Spoke with their Tier 2 support. Tier 2 discussed the issue and implied a change of information for the phone would fix it. They transferred me to Samsung due to the phone being purchased direct from Samsung.

Ok so the problem seems to have been resolved. Here's what I did to fix it.
Downloaded the current firmware I had before the update from Sammobile.com. Using Odin I installed the firmware I was currently on. I had done this before on the last update that failed. But this time I gave it the user data info and did use the Home CSC in an effort to reset everything.
Phone came back online functioning normally with everything wiped. I connected to WiFi and let the first of 2 updates download then run. Success . First OTA that's been successful on the phone. Then went for update #2. Failed, but rebooted this time and gave me an Error 402. Tried again a little later, same WiFi. It redownloaded the update and success again.
So it seems it needs a very very stable internet connection and the full wipe fixed the build id mismatch.
Also before attempting updates highly recommend having all your 2FA accounts either backed up, a second authenticator on another device or turned off. Its a real PITA to get back into all your accounts when your authenticator app gets wiped unexpectedly.
Hope this helps someone else!

Thank you!!! I was stuck on this screen all day!
I had restored my S22 Ultra, as a last resort to troubleshoot the shut down/reboot issue I, like many others, have been experiencing. When my phone then updated itself afterward, the install failed and I was stuck. I just happened to find this post of yours, while I was researching some info someone at the Geek Squad gave me, and told me to try it when I got home. The print out he gave me was a word for word copy of your solution! It totally worked, and I am back in. Now to see if the shut down/reboot issue recurs..... I suspect it will, I'm thinking it has something to do with my battery, which I can't remove.

Hey did you ever get this screen again? And were OTA updates normal after you flashed?
OTA updates keep failing for me on my S22+, either at 25% causing it to go back to the old firmware with an error message, or getting bricked showing that screen. I've tried to reflash and then update and so far only solution is flashing the update through Odin every time. I have had only 2 successful OTA updates since I got this phone in April

I did not have any further issues with updates failing, and getting this screen again. I DID have to send my phone back to Samsung twice though for repair, because of the constant rebooting issue. They could NOT repair that issue, so I ended up getting a refund for the phone. Due to their p**s poor customer service (more than a month later I'm still trying to get them to return the charger for the phone, that they said I HAD to send back with the phone for testing), I will (very unhappy) be purchasing an iPhone. Never buying Samsung again.

Damn that sucks never heard of them needing the charger as well for tests, that is a bit odd. The reflash seems to have fixed the rebooting issue I had when I first got my S22+ not sure if I should gamble with trying to update again after the last one failed. Might just wait for One UI 5 and do a dirty flash through Odin and if it doesn't give any problems I'll just flash the security updates every so often I guess. Saves me the stress haha.
