So earlier today i decided to put the rom octane on my samsung galaxy s 4g. all went well it worked but my wifi will not connect for no matter what i try. all it does is searchs and then turns off. i have tried changing back to stock rom and read a bunch of other posts about wifi issues but none help and solutions u guys can think of would be GREATLY appreciated.
Logs would help you get a meaningful answer. Right now it could be "Gee, is your battery charged?" or "Have you considered unwrapping your phone from the tinfoil that it is in?"
While I use developer tools, I understand aLogcat can help as well.
sry im new to the android scene. what do u mean by logs?

Try resetting your router. If that doesn't do it - do a factory reset on your phone. If that doesn't do it flash Gremlin Remover. Look for the thread in the Dev section.
i have already done the first to i will try the third and post back
sry for the double post but it worked! thanks
So I flashed ColorOS V1.2 which stuffed up my phone. Now all I'm getting is a black screen but I'm fairly sure its on as there is a vibration on the phone when I assume its on. Is there any possible way to get access to my internal storage or more importantly, getting the screen back working? I will highly value any suggestions as I really need my phone to be working!! Cheers in advance.
Look, I don't know if you're the same person one the one plus forums but someone else has the same issue flashing that same ROM. You need to open a support ticket because that seems like a huge issue. You may have bricked it in some way.

This is sounding like self promotion, however, I think you should flash my debloated ROM. It is a lot more simple than manually debloating it yourself.

Virgin Mobile J700P
Hello! First, thank you all for everything you do here--this is an extremely helpful community of people.
I have a Galaxy J700P with Virgin Mobile. Running J700PVPU1APH4 software. I've rooted it and had no success with creating a second partition on the SD card to use Link2SD for apps. I've tried formatting on PC via Minitool Partition Wizard, on the phone using Aparted, and also tried with Apps2SD. Link2SD simply refuses to recognize the 2nd partition ("Mount script error"). It has been suggested to me to try Cyanogenmod or a custom Lollipop (to use adoptable storage).
In short, I'd like to flash a ROM that will allow me to use my SD card for app storage. Being able to continue using Google Play Store apps is also preferred. Are there any suggestions for software that is the most stable for this phone that will allow me to use SD card for app storage? Let me know if you need more info. Thank you for reading!

It;s not self promotion at all man cause i used yours first lol, its was very nicely done until i needed some of those apps for basic functionality. I needed the music and video player and i found that the signal was shotty with your rom compared to stock. There were some others that i cant remember right now. So, I then dirty flashed the stock rom over your rom and added custom recovery and superuser. I gained the tethering feature and the update prl and services which i need in my area sometimes to get better coverage. I know a lot of people dont mind this as they want the minimal. I know Im a noob with this stuff as i came from the lg 740 and this is a whole diff game. Thank you though for your efforts in making the rom i have yet to look on how to thank people cause im still new here. Sorry for the one long paragraph by the way

Hi!
I have a problem on a J7 2016. Google services eats the battery, being accountable for up to 60% of battery use on every cycle.. I know it is a pretty common problem on lots of phones, but not being able to root / install custom rom (not my phone), any advice on solving it? - besides stopping google account sync.
I have tried uninstalling updates, with no success.
Regards.
EDIT: I guess I should tell I am on stock MM, last update. Haven't tried to do a HR - full reinstall, hoping there will be a better option

About the play services thing, you can't do anything except flashing a custom ROM without gapps (if you wanna uninstall play services). About the problem you mentioned that you cannot root or install custom ROM, what exactly is the issue? Please exaggerate the problem. Good luck!

thanks for creating help thread and im extremely noob
my device is SM-J700F, android version is 5.1.1
do you knows where to find custom roms for my devices that can open any simcard from any network provider?
im still googling until now to find the right custom rom for my devices
and thanks again for your friendly thread.
The network lock is separate from the rom. Continue with Google.

Would ROMS built for the J700 F/H/M be compatible with the J700T? There is not many ROMS built for the J700T, while there is a bunch for the J700 F/H/M.
The only difference I see in the phones are the different carriers so you would think that they would be compatible with each other.
Thanks

I don't think so. I had my old Galaxy J-5 fried due to flashing ROM not meant for my device. I would suggest not doing it if it is your primary device. But go ahead if you're a development nut and wanna try it anyways. If you try it and it works, update your post here so others can know.

I have many questions with this bootloader. I'm new to this things. Sorry. Btw I have the J700F J7(2015) model.
1. Is there any way to know if my phone is in locked bootloader or unlocked?
2. I'm planning to install the Pixel Experience rom and I've read that i must unlock the bootloader first. I know that I must be from stock rom. Then I will install the TWRP, then root, then proceed to flashing the rom. In this process, where will I unlock the bootloader? Do I need it to be unlocked before I install the TWRP?
3. I know that I can google it, but is there an easiest way to unlock the bootloader?
Sorry, I have many questions.
Hi. I have your exact same model ?
To unlock the bootloader, enable developer options - in settings, about device, software info. Tap build number 7 times.
Now go back to settings, developer options - enable OEM Unlock. Also enable USB Debugging.
Done.
Are on marshmallow? If yes, make sure SuperSu is version 2.78 or newer.
Tip - make sure to backup your fon first as soon as you install TWRP. BEFORE rooting.
Keep 2 copies of this backup.
To install the Pixel rom you must already be on stock marshmallow

Post this issue in the thread where you got the ROM from. The ROM thread is where you are supposed to post issues so that the developer can fix it in his ROM if the ROM is the problem.
You're using oreo, it hasn't been out long enough to work all of the bugs out, it is normal to have bugs when using ROMs that are new developments.

Hi,
ZTE / Nubia phones are banned in US as national security threats.
My phone is rooted.
How to remove all bloatware (browser , phone , messages, etc..) ?
Moderator, you can close my topic.
My phone is rooted and I can replace all ZTE/Nubia bloatware by Google software and the battery life is working fine now. I can use my phone 3 days without charging. With the stock rom, i need to charge every day.
Thanks to the chinese community and xda xiaomi forum.
friend could you indicate the links you used guiding the removal and which apps were removed?
