Has anyone else seen the issue where the checkbox to allow Unknown sources doesn't remain checked? I can get to it through the NT Hidden Settings app and check it (getting the dialog to confirm), but when I go back to that screen the box is once again unchecked.

CWM

Hello,

So I ave been running CM7 internal since the first alfa release. Currently on second release.

This is my issue, I am rooted with indirects method, Flashed CWM and never had an issue.

I have also played with the SD card version of CM7 with no issues.

In the past I have been able to boot to CWM from powered down mode no problem. I am able to use the Rom manager to boot into CWM.

But now I cant get to CWM from just holding down power and N then releasing the power button like I used too.

Wondering if anyone had any thoughs on this.

One thing i did change on the SD card version of CM7 was to swap out the flashing boot with Cryanoboot flash image, but that was SD not internal.

So to sum up. Why can't I get into CWM?

Thanks ahead of time.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
i think that is normal and has sense as cyanoboot is a boot manager basically so it should take place first and from there access to recovery, etc.

CWM

Thanks for the input. So I am glad it make sense to you. So then that leads me to one or maybe two more questions.

First...and sorry if this is very noob...how does having cryanoboot on SD affect what happens for the internal boot if not using the sd for boot?

Second. Being the the cryanoboot is SD should I push it internal or should it not matter as long as can get to it on the sd card. (I am affraid if i push it internally I could gett he factory reset after 8 boots as mentioned in the thread.)

Thanks So much.

Phone has been working brilliantly since removing it and killing all of the errant processes, so this was certainly the cause of my angst with my phone the last few weeks. I was beginning to think it was the fact that I've not had a phone over 2 years since a Nokia 3360 ;)

Thanks for the info! I'll keep GO SMS away from my Note.

I've been using Go SMS Pro for about a month. Then I saw this thread, first I don't know what that long log means. Can someone explain it a bit further. :<
[Android Apps and Games] PMGRANDS:
I just Started using it... Lol, WTF? Seriously? I was just getting use to it too...
[Android Apps and Games] neoazrael:
just as an advise,block it's processes with a firewall then no probs... block the data transfers with 3g and wifi together. then nothing will happen to ur privacy guys...
[Android Apps and Games] PMGRANDS:
With a Firewall? Which one, a App Firewall?
[Android Apps and Games] neoazrael:
yeah for example i am using avast inbuilt firewall+lbe privacy guard together.it's a pity that we,Comodo, aren't making something new for android platforms ,but it is because of our decision.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
I emailed them immediately yesterday before posting this thread, no response yet.

What it means is that it was running logcat, watching the Android logs, 92 times. It was using 1-2 megs of ram for each process, therefore making my phone slow as hell since it had very little ram available. Read further for privacy....

You missed the main idea of my post, although privacy could be a concern here as well. The main point was my phone was running terrible. I could barely unlock it sometimes, launching apps was taking 1-2 seconds, I was only able to run a single app at a time (switching between apps, the "other one" had already been killed because of the low memory available. As soon as I killed the errant logcat processes my phone immediately started behaving properly.

FYI guys, anyone running this, feel free to look. Get into adb shell, terminal app, irssi connectbot, whatever.. and run ps | grep logcat

I did not have any logging turned on in Go SMS, at least not to my knowledge... I had set up some colours in it months ago but haven't really messed with it since. At the best this could be a bug in their code for some debug or monitoring itself or something that wasn't removing the old process or something, but personally whatever the reason, it's gone from my phone forever.
[Android Apps and Games] neoazrael:
my advises were about privacy protection as you can see my signature it's my job,and for performance issues i can only say that you feel free to delete the app, there are a lot of same kind programs in the market...
[Android Apps and Games] lightbody:
Did you have issues w GoSMSPro before the ram got low?

I've been using GoSMS for over 6 months and have never had this issue.

I've scanned the app with antivirus apps as well as use LBE to monitor it. I haven't received any security notices for the app.

Good luck!
[Android Apps and Games] charlatan01:
It's not that this app is necessarily acting in a malicious manner (like a virus), rather that it is logging a TON. It really smacks of something not turned off before release, and is unintentional, but who knows.

Thanks for the heads up, app removed.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Agreed, I doubt this is malicious, but it's boneheaded. Just wanted to give people heads up because it caused me so much angst with my phone moving so slow.

I don't have swap on my phone, but imagine your PC is swapped out and you're trying to use it. Everything is sluggish. That's how it was until I killed all of those logcat processes.

Hi, if you are sure you have flashed the droid pro sbf onto a euro model I suggest you take battery out after flashing for 48 hours minimum then put back in and try to boot normally. let me know if it works. I have one and this is what worked for me.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
Hi guys, my friend has an unrooted, stock gingerbread G2 that every so often will turn itself off and revert itself a couple of days. Like a nandroid restore almost. Say he takes some pictures and downloads some apps. A few days later it will crash and turn itself back on, but the apps and pictures he downloaded will be gone and it will be as if he never downloaded them. I'm not sure how else to describe it.. any ideas? He says he thinks it has to do with putting music on it because whenever he puts on new music it will crash and revert shortly after to before the music was put on the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxWiz:
I cannot imagine how that would be possible without some sort of backup/restore software that would need root. Sure your mate isn't winding you up?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoffmas:
that sounds strange...

maybe he should do a real factory reset or wipe cache?

EDIT: push power & volume down to enter bootloader / here choose recovery and red triangle will show up then press power & volume up to enter recovery (just for the case that you don´t know, because you seem to have a nexus)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gallaphanx:
That sounds like a serious problem, either he's pulling your leg or something is wrong with the phone. I'd definitely say backup whatever he needs, and then give wiping the phone a chance because losing pictures and data like that isn't cool.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mputtr:
I've heard that some ROMs writeback and requires a complete shutdown or restart cycle to commit various information and the new stock gb might be doing that.

Try having your friend do a restart (proper one, not battery pulling) after the installation of apps and all that to see if the problem persists. If it does, then I would suggest a factory wipe and start from scratch since something is really screwing with your friend's phone
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
Hi guys, thanks for the responses!

I don't think he's pulling my leg because he's not the kind of person to do something like that, nor does he really know enough about phones to just think of something like this on the spot..

I will have him try to do a proper reset as mputtr suggests before doing a full wipe, but in any event thanks again for the ideas :)

[HTC Amaze 4G] lgtsanev:
How do you plan to connect a GSM phone to Sprint's CDMA network?
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
no not possible, 2 different technologies. Sprint uses cdma and tmobile uses gsm.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Born_Immaculate88:
The Amaze is GSM meaning it REQUIRES a sim card as do all T-Mobile and AT&T phones in the US. Sprint is on a CDMA network which works with the antenna inside the device, an internal "sim"card if you will. There is NO WAY to use a GSM device on a CDMA network. There are ways to flash Verizon, Metro, Alltel and other CDMA device to Sprint's network but not any GSM phones. Take a look into flashing the HTC rezound from Verizon to Sprint's network. That device has essentially the same specs but is CDMA. Hope this helps.

Why not ad her to yours? it will be way cheaper than Sprint.

[Acer Iconia A500] sikkboy626:
So, I had been using my A500 for the last few days with no problems. Well, yesterday, I got home from work and powered it on. The lockscreen came up, but the screen was unresponsive. I turned it off and then back on, but screen still didn't work. Then I did a hard reset, which still didn't fix the problem. I put it into recovery, then did a wipe that still didn't fix the issue. I flashed the ROM again. Then a different ROM. All it does is is boot up and go to the lock screen, but the screen does not respond.

If I can avoid it, I don't really want to go through the hassle of returning it since I got it online. Hopefully it can be fixed without having to take it back. Thanks in advance for everyone's help.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Boot back into recovery.

Wipe your 3 things,

User Data

Cache

Dalvik

Then go to Mounts

Format the same 3 (user data, cache partition and Dalvak.

And Flexrom

Then flash your rom. Try and flash a basic rooted rom. No kernels, no gapps.zip

See what happens.

If you have a file called update.zip, on your sd, I would delete it. And anything else there except for the rom.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
sounds like hardware failure. Has the tablet been dropped or banged around. The connector on the digitizer could have came loose.That would mean void warranty and take it apart ..

Send it back is likely your. Best option
[Acer Iconia A500] sikkboy626:
Thanks for the quick responses! I'm gonna try these things, hopefully I don't have to take it back.
[Acer Iconia A500] sikkboy626:
Guess it is a massive hardware failure. I formatted everything and reset everything I could. All ROM's will flash and boot, but I since the screen does not work, I cannot get past the first screen.

I'm going to have to return it, dammit. So, with no touchscreen, does anyone know how I can remove Clockworkmod Recovery and get the tablet back to stock? I don't want to get any problems during the return. Thanks everyone.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Well, with no touchscreen that makes the easy way out of the question.

Vache has a page with stock roms and updates;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113878

Now, some people, extracted the update.zip from the update rom, copied it to sd, and booted holding vol+ and PWR. This automatically starts the update flashing.

Others have actually flashed them through CWM and were successful. You can read through the thread and see how they fared.

On a normal basis, we would install AcerRecovery and flash them through there, as that is the preferred method for the full rooms. But this is out of the question for you, as you only have CWM.

With the update.zip, it might work, might not. The update might look for a preinstalled stock rom matching the ComGen numbers. Really don't know.

(I would try the above if the following doesn't work)

Another method, is to use ADB and push a stock image to your device. I've never done this personally, but I know it can be done. Best bet, is to repost the question "how to push a stock image with adb", then explain briefly why. And post it in the Q&A forum. This should hopefully get some folks who use adb to help you out. I rarely use it.
[Acer Iconia A500] sikkboy626:
Thanks for all your help. I was able to get it back to stock. The return should go fine. You're awesome and I did not forget to use the thank you button.

I didn't see this elsewhere.

The French game publisher already sprinkled 99¢ allspice on its iOS and Amazon Appstore titles, plus a two-for-one deal on the Xperia Play, but soon it'll bring that volume-not-margin recipe to the Android Market too. Almost all of its paid titles will reportedly go for less than a dollar between December 26th and January 5th, so if you're about to click 'Buy' on a premium purchase like Asphalt 6: Adrenalin, 9mm or The Adventures of Tintin, then it might be worth relaxing your trigger finger. The notable exception is Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation, which will apparently only be discounted for a single day sometime around New Year's Weekend -- though hopefully not while you're still preoccupied with running around in yesterday's clothes and hugging random strangers.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dr.Mcq:
I've noticed that the galaxy nexus's screen is much less sensitive than my nexus s.

to prove it:

1- Go to the developer options section in settings.

2- enablepointer location.

3- touch the screen as lightly as you can. you will notice a red number on the upper right corner of the screen named ""Prs:". this indicates the level of contact needed to regester a touch.

4- do the same on different areas of the screen & remember try to touch the screen as lightly as you can ((the goal here is to find the lower number that regesters a touch))

on the nexus s I can easily get a responce on a Prs:0.11 to 0.15.

the galaxy nexus starts to regester the touch on a minimum of Prs:0.27

Can you guys test this out on your galaxy nexii & post the results here?

this is the galaxy nexus:

& this is the nexus s:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmace:
why as lightly as I can?

thought screen was capacitive rather than resistive?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dr.Mcq:
Because i noticed that the keyboard does not register all the taps... I tried everything with no luck. the nexus s was registering every single tap.

My final guess was the sensitivity was off. It might be my device or it might be just the GN in general.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] staticx57:
low .30s
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alex5790:
I've noticed the screen not being very sensitive also. I was able to get a minimum of .27 but on average I was getting .34. If I very lightly tough my homescreen then apply full pressure it doesnt register the touch at all. I can even slowly move my finger side to side and it wont swipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dr.Mcq:
same thing here... Its not just me after all
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
Was getting mid 25 with a screen protector. Screen feels fine IMO.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
I also have this issue on 4.0.2.

Can the others that have posted please post their OS Versions?

To me it seems like its a software tweak to prevent accidental taps but sometimes i'm legit tapping and it doesnt work which sucks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Or maybe they *SET* it that way on purpose. Why does there have to be something wrong with the phone just because the sensitivity is lower? You realize that's not a hardware setting...that's a software setting. Google must have found out that people want a slightly lower sensitivity (I do...I hate when the screen is overly sensitive).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dr.Mcq:
whats bothers me with the less sensitive screen is that its not as fluid in typing as my nexus s with a much more sensitive screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ZeroBarrier:
Maybe it's because you're used to an overly sensitive screen such as on the Nexus S and you just have to get used to a screen that's not overly sensitive?

My Galaxy Nexus registers my taps on the keyboard just fine, even when I'm trying to tap in turbo, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
How does this matter as far as registering?

Are you tapping the screen that lightly? To register high .2, I have to just barely touch it - that's not how it's used in the real world.

The lag is likely due to the keyboard itself, as others have said there's lag issues with the keyboard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
I think the sensitivity is made lower on purpose because of the software buttons, in order to prevent accidental taps of the home button while typing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dr.Mcq:
here is a video explaining the issue

[YOUTUBE]3a8rMJvI7zs[/YOUTUBE]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jblparisi:
I just purchased a second hand GN off craigslist and noticed that right away coming from my Infuse 4G running 2.3 and I have the same exact issue and sensitivity numbers when tested.

Any updates on this?

Does this affect all GN users or is it only allocated to a certain amount of users? Not sure if I should just live with it or go about get a replacement?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
You do realize the galaxy nexus has a .35 larger screen an a high sensitivity would make everything really ****ing annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cldwar:
Use optimus 3d and you will find Gnex to be the most sensitive thing in the world :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
Nice thread necro.

Its funny that people complain that the screen is insensitive. I find that I prematurely tap stuff all the time and my finger hasn't even made contact with the screen yet.

The insensitivity I'm sure is by design.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jblparisi:
That statement makes no sense to me, no offense. The Infuse has a 4.5 inch, the GN is like what, 4.65 ? What difference does that make.

The new Galaxy Tab is far far more sensitive, even my Wifes Optimus One with a plastic screen is more sensitive, but obviously not OVER sensitive. I don't mean to be a hater or an arrogant jerk but I find it odd that every other high end device in the market I have tested including iPads, iPhones, Galaxy S2, the list goes on... does not exhibit this problem.

I don't really care as long as everyone else has the same exact sensitivity and it is PURE INTENTIONAL. Based on their tracking record with the Nexus One, Nexus S and now the G Nexus it would not surprise me at all if it was just rushed poor engineering design in the end.

One can hope it is a software limitation and NOT hardware, but what do I know.. I am not the expert here, just stating personal observable facts.
