I guess there is something we are not able to help u with pls post a screen shot for the same and let us all see whats that exactly
if possible flash a complete firmware using odin and then reset the device from ur phone this should solve ur issue
i m suggesting reflash & reset coz i have been having a check of ur post and nothing has worked for u so far
Btw since there is a new firmware already doing new flash is wise it will get rid of almost all the issue
incase u are ok with flashing firmware below is the link or u can also use the link in my signature

Google Maps Force Closing

Hi all lately when I have been using a custom rom on my S4 is force closing Google Maps. I even did a full wipe and fresh install I am beginning to think it may be the actual App and not my phone.
I was just curious if anyone else had the same experiences as me?
Cheers
Please post this in the S4 forum.

Shouldn't it be cleared after a fresh install?
It won't let me until I have made the correct amount of posts! Been a long time lurker on here!
I did another complete fresh install and still no joy!
However I do get an error in recovery saying cannot open cache/recovery . log or something along those lines!

[Q] Help me! my nexus 4 won't start.

Hi, could somebody help me please?
my nexus 4 is stuck on the "x" logo. and wont open. could somebody help me? please
Recovery-> wipe cache and dalvik?
If it doesn't work: Recovery-> wipe cache and dalvik-> factory reset?
What's the story? Are you at stock? Costum recovery? What ROM?
Well, nobody can't help you without info like what did you flashed or something
Just sayin'

[Q] Galaxy s4 bootloop

Hi,
I have a galaxy s4 att rooted phone that is stuck in a boot loop. It turns on and works until it gets to to the att logo then it freezes. It happened because I tried to install a custom font on my phone using font installer. I looked everywhere on xda, google, and different sites but I didn't find anything. What I tried to do was use odin 3 and get it back to stock. I really don't need any of my data its fine if I don't get it back but I need it to be fixed. Its soft-bricked at the moment. I tried using different odin3 softwares and different files to work with odin and my phone, but they all give me fails. I used different usb cables and ports on my computer. I took all the advice I could from the internet but nothing. I was hoping someone could help me out here?
Use kies emergency recovery put phone into download mode

Can you get into recovery mode? If you can do a factory reset. It'll get you past the boot loop.

Yes but my only options are
Reboot system now
Apply update from adb
Apply update from external storage
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Apply update from cache
When I click wipe data/factory reset it just gives me the option to wipe the data.

Do wipe data /factory reset
I love how no one is asking the most important question... Are you on MF3, OP? It sounds like you are and if so, you are pretty much screwed unless you know ADB and know exactly what went wrong OR if the wipe data/factory reset works.
They are both the same by the way. Wiping data is a factory reset.

Well, you're helpful. The dude has a serious problem and you butt in with that? Troll somewhere else!
Unfortunately ADB is not a specialty of mine. I also have no idea what went wrong. I know what you told me, but there is more specific things than the process of changing the font.
A system file that got changed. What was the change? Where is the file located? What is the file name? Are there more than one that could have been changed?
I am more of a hardware specialist. I know the bare basics of software but not enough to be confident enough to walk you through changing system files.

How is that trolling? Name me a device - any device - where to update your device to the latest version as it came out improved the hackability of it.

Have a nice day
Manually put the phone into download / ODIN mode (if you can), then, manually cancel out of download mode and see if your phone will reboot.
Like this guy tried in this post...and see if it works for you.

Because I know what is needed, but not exactly how to do it. I can give enough info to spark some interest in research. I didn't put anyone down, so don't try to make me look like the bad guy.

I'll go with that. Didn't want to make you look like a bad guy. I agree, people here need to do a lot more research before they mess with their phones. No worries. I know you know a lot about the devices. I too hate to see people mess up their phones because they don't read and learn.
No harm done. If i knew exactly how to solve OP's problem, I would. I would also tell them to not mess with stuff that can break their expensive ass phone until he/she fully understands the risk involved. I completely understand the risks and am ready to have a broke device. I am still careful with my phone though because I don't want to have to be ready. Especially since my phone shipped with MDL. I don't want to risk getting a MF3 device.

Deleted phone.apk

Using the clean masters suggested apps that can be uninstalled to speed up the phone it has somehow deleted the phone app does anyone know how to get it back without factory reseting!

Just backup your apps and factory reset. It's the best solution. It will take you 5 minutes.

Well the phone apk is a system file so if its been deleted doing a factor reset won't help. All factory reset does is wipe the data partition where your user apps and settings are stored. Its not like factory reset uses a backup file to restore things.
I assume you are rooted to have done this. You may be able to find the apk from another two rom , extract it, and see if it will install. If not you may have to Odin back to stock to restore it if you want to keep the stock ROM.
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.

Unless you knew what specific apk you're looking for I'd Odin back to stock and start over. Good learning lesson

Can't enable Nfc

Hey.
Yesterday i flashed a new rom on my n9005, and after that i can't enable my nfc. I have also tried to turn it on with secure settings but i just says that there was an error.
So I tried to restore my rom, but nfc still not working. Also tried to recover with kies, and to flash stock rom but no luck. Also tried to copy the nfcnsi.apk from another Note 3, but didn't work.
So does someone know what else i can try ?
Thanks..

I initially had this problem after rooting but changing the CSC code to reflect the carrier ROM I installed fixed the issue.
Enter your CSC menu: *#272*[IMEI #]#
Hope this helps!
