[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnnyQ1964:
NOTE: I have searched and reviewed the existing threads on items with similar wording. Several on how to recover corrupted files within the backup etc.. Although the questions and issues are similar none describe the issue that I am experiencing.

Samsung Galaxy Note

Rooted on AOSP xXx FJ,(Flappjaxxx) / FJ Mod of ICS UCLF6

Currently on CWM Recovery 5.8.4.3

Situation:

No prior issues experience with nandroid backup, had 2 other backups plus the one I'm referring to (one of AOSP xXx and FJ Modded)

Performed a nandroid backup to try out CM09 from FJ AOSP. All went well... including the CM09 install and apps.

Missed the S-pen functionality and wanted to flip back to FJ Modded ROM.

Attempted to restore the most recent backup... Failed. Booted into CM09 and went to Root Explorer and looked into the backup file. I noticed that the file has a lot of what appears to be random ASCII characters for file names etc... (indicated to me that this file was corrupted).

Since I had other backups, I went to one of the older ones and restored.

Problem: this corrupted backup is taking up about 1.9 GB and I want to delete but it will not allow me. Looked at permissions and it has RW

Question: how the heck do I delete this thing without having to take my SD card out and formatting the sucker? :confused:

Thanks in advance
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apex:
You should be able to plug in your phone to your computer via USB and open folder to view files on the /sdcard. Make sure USB connection is set to "USB Mass Storage" option when connected. Once you opened the folder to view files, you can navigate to the clockworkmod folder, open, and find the backups within that folder and delete that way...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frdd:
Did you try to delete it in recovery (sorry if there is no such option, never looked for it...) or in root explorer? You could always get a terminal like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm and do like this:

su (if you're rooted)

cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup

rm -r 2012-07-12.13.37

Same commands should work in adb as well
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Try. Android Commander.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perryvan04:
I think that plugging the USB charger into your computer and manually deleting it should do the trick :fingers-crossed:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnnyQ1964:
OK...

Thanks guys for your responses...

- did try connecting to a PC in mass storage mode and tried to delete... did not work

- use Root Explorer to do a delete as well... did not work

- looked to see if there was a delete option in recovery (first thing I looked for) did not find it

I'll try the other options and see where that goes.

If you download clockwork mod (rom manager) you can delete it in the android application in manage and restore backups.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frdd:
Empty recycle bin on PC sometimes helps when deleted stuff sticks, make sure do this when plugged in ofc
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeverGone\RU:
If you're using Windows, run chkdsk ("Scan this drive for errors" in drive's properties) when connected as a mass storage device.

That should help.

If it won't, the guaranteed method is to copy the files you need somewhere else, format the card and put those files back.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mankows5:
to clairfy, you were able to locate the back up files in the folder "clockwork mod-backup" but then it would not delete when you tried?"
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnnyQ1964:
Thanks again for all your input.

PC crapped out this past weekend... new hdd installed and re-building with Windows 7 pro-64 (hmmm... maybe I should dual boot to Ubuntu), will need to reinstall some of the linux/android tools.

@frdd... already had terminal installed tried the commands but no luck... it reports back I'm missing files and i get a lot of errors. I guess I'm gonna have to learn Linux/Android ;)

@icomrade... I've got the purchase ver of ROM Manager and haven't fully gone down that rabbit hole but will investigate

@NeverGone\RU... will leave that as a last resort as i've got a 32GB SD card (sucks up time)

@mankows5... yes did find all the directories and files as it should be... just can't delete that 1 backup
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MissionImprobable:
Yeah, try Rom manager. Manage and Restore Backups>Select the one you want to delete, then delete it.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naeda1:
Hi Experts,

I am facing below bugs with my HTC wildfire after resetting back to stock rom, please kindly help.

Initially I had rooted my device HTC wild fire A3333, which was with Android 2.2.1, hboot 1.01.0002 and S-ON, and I was using custom ROM's. However, I wanted to go back to the original software so reverted back with RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.2 4H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed.exe and I did S-ON.

Now I am facing the problems with user interface:

•	Unable to type Message properly, some of the letters are not coming so I have to lock and unlock every time.

•	Always the home Screen is fluctuating.

•	Some times lock is not working properly I have to unlock so many times.

Thank you.

Naeda.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olu.danNY:
Straight answer... The RUU with Radio 3.35.20.10 is buggy... Don't run it... Do you Headset icon when Headset is inserted?... I don't think so... Try another RUU with another Radio verion.

Cheers.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naeda1:
So could you please suggest one? Actually which is the standard ROM for wildfire A3333, With this RUU, I could not find my model no in 'About phone' section..
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olu.danNY:
Try this RUU "RUU_Buzz_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.15.707.1_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_131306_signed". After flashing, you can update your Radio using the Radio.zip to 20.10. Sorry for the late reply, been away...
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naeda1:
Hi dan,

Thanks for the support. :)

I Just updated with RUU_Buzz_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.15.707.1_Radio_13.45.55.2 4_3.35.15.31_release_131306_signed and then it has got auto updated with system update. Still I am facing the same issues, When press back button some other actions are performing and I am unable to type even single message.. :(

1.	Either suggest me some standard ROM with out these bugs to get back to standard ROM with model no or suggest some custom ROM which has no bugs.

2.	Can we flash Radio on these stock rom, I was going through forum most of the places they says to update the zip using ROOT.

Kindly suggest.

Thank you.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olu.danNY:
I guess you'd have to root your device then. Update back to Radio 20.10 and then download SimpleOneClick to root. After root, download CWM v7.2 Stable and flash and lets see how this go. Hope this helps.

Can someone plz explain to me how i can delete multiple pics in the stock camera app?? i tried everything i can think of but nothing works. I like the burst shot feature but deleting 19 pics to keep that one good shot is a pain..

Never mind, i figured it out. you have to chose gallery app first then you get option to select multiple pics..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] digitalsynner85:
long press on one photo, a blue box will appear around that photo, then tap each other photo you want, click the drop down box in the top right corner and click delete....you can also do the same w/ albums too unless its synced from google plus, then you can't delete any of the picasa albums that are added, only albums that are added because of the camera and downloads

Does anyone have a working solution for PPTP VPN on custom O1 roms? I've tried a lot of ROMs and even CMs don't seem to have it.

It's an important feature so I'm a little bit disappointed that it's not yet properly implemented in these ROMs. :(

Sadly I'm not a Linux programmer so I couldn't fix it myself, but I hope some devs will see this post and tell me whether it would be possible to implement it in the feuture releases.

I'd be happy to assist in debugging if someone would try to fix the PPTP VPN module.

If it was from my small post, I don't see why you would need to go out there calling people idiots for wishing and wanting something like a specific program/app that doesn't exist yet at the moment on a smartphone.

A user may want/hope to see some sort of app of raid call so people (like the OP, me, and other users looking at this thread) can use it on their phone to go or when not nearby or want to use a computer so how's whomever you're calling an idiot justify?

Or rather should I ask, do you feel superior trying to bring people down for your ego or boredom?

If so, this is not one of the places you should be posting at which then I can suggest you go visit a different website for your needs of typing pointless offensive posts.

This is a website of tinkering/in depth info on a specific phone/mobile programming threads&posts, not a website for unnecessary/immature criticism of someone's opinion.
[HTC Amaze 4G] shiftylock:
So I recently had my HTC Amaze swapped out by T-Mobile because of a faulty headphone jack, and I feel that my experience may convince others to do the same if you're having problems.

Old Amaze:

Headphone problems, constantly screwing up.

Squeaky battery cover (or so it seemed)

Light bled through the side of phone (there was what looked like a faulty glue seal on the side)

Volume up button always looked "pushed in"

New Amaze:

Headphones work perfect

Battery cover doesn't squeak (thank god)

No more light bleeding problem.

Volume buttons look normal

I'm not sure if the device is refurbed or not, but I really don't care. This one works and that's good enough for me. I simply called T-Mobile, explained my problems to the representative, and they had a replacement shipped to my house within 4 days. The only problem is that you're supposed to pay $20 for a warranty exchange, but after some very polite conversation I managed to get her to drop it to $10. It didn't come with a back cover, but it seems that the new unit literally fixed all my problems. I recommend that if you need to get your device replaced, do it now, as it isn't a very difficult process and they are very friendly (as usual) every step of the way.

This is a HUGE step up from AT&T's "this is clearly your fault" policies. I'm so glad I switched carriers. :)

Just my 2cents.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SinisterModz:
I had issues with the Sensation 4g and after 8 replacements they sent me a brand new Amaze 4g. I've had it for a week and so far so good, only one small flaw is the bezel on the lower bottom bleeds a tiny bit of light.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mike102871:
My G2 was replaces with a mt4gs that have me powering off problems after a week. They sent me 4 more which 2 would not read the sim. 3rd wouldn't accept sd card. They called to follow up and I told them how unhappy I was with the mt4gs. They sent me a brand new in retail sealed box amaze. Over nighted.
[HTC Amaze 4G] icepixie:
OP, when you mention "squeaky battery cover" is it when you press on the back cover it squeaks or there's a bit of give?

I'm finding that's the issue w/ my current amaze. I press on the back cover at a specific place and it kinda "clicks". Not sure if I should request a new back cover (if that'll fix the problem).
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
Put a thin piece of paper in backcover and its fixed
[HTC Amaze 4G] Spastic909:
Or put a case on it
[HTC Amaze 4G] Shadow Samurai:
My amaze stops vibrating about once a week. However, because I have no other problems and the phone seems to run better than other people's amaze ill live with it. It's easy to get the vibrator unstuck, just drop the phone on a padded ground from about a foot up (my phone has a tpu case). :D

Not only is it normal... its one of the most known issues with the phone and there's even a modified file available that disables them to prevent that
[HTC Amaze 4G] b33j7030:
oh really? what modified file could this be? I have the same "known issue" when my device boots up and i see this light bleed just above the capacitive "soft" keys.. = / annoys me sometimes. Oh and my device is completely bone stock unrooted ICS.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SinisterModz:
The only one I'm aware of is on the play store but it doesn't work if you updated to ICS.
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
there is a modified init.post_boot.sh file that gets pushed to /etc folder that was created for GB but also works for ICS. I guess since I'm just sitting doing nothing I can use google for you and find it. :D

Edit: worked like a charm as always... let me show you :D http://bit.ly/O73M15 Google is your friend :D:D:D Idk if it will work if you are not rooted... but if you know adb commands, u may be able to adb push file to /etc folder amd change permissions to rw, r, r.... idk because I'm always rooted :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] ApokrifX:
AFAIR, vibrator is in the battery.

Pull it out, drop or shake (battery only), put it back.

You'll break you phone eventually, if you keep dropping it...
[HTC Amaze 4G] SinisterModz:
Lmao are you joking about the vibration feedback mechanism being in the battery? I hope so, cause if you remove your back plate you can see its exact location.

If you root, you can freeze the updater. I don't know any other way.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertylesh:
The updater being DMClient right? ;)

One thing to keep an eye on (I plan to disable OTA's on my two tablets) is battery life.

There are supposedly some instances where the system may think the OTA update is corrupt and will continuously try to re-download it in the bg affecting battery life. It's still worth attempting IMHO, just a tip though to keep an eye on your battery, if disabling the OTA affects it for you, you could unfreeze the dmclient service and use a different workaround to stop the OTAs ;)

-For freezing, after looking around, these three apps seem to be best suited - Titanium Backup pro (obviously), AntTek & Gemini App managers (free)

I'll be Rooting then freezing OTAs on my Prime (ww .15) and rebooting it to ensure it doesn't softbrick. If unsuccessful I can flash a blob/format no probs, if successful, I'll root my Nxs7 JB, rinse repeat and report back :)

--

Successfully performed all tasks on the Prime (hooray no OTAs!!), it's rooted with frozen DMClient, no firmware download prompts since the service was stopped and frozen.

I have rebooted a few times to ensure it is not soft bricked and the App remains frozen :D

I will be doing my Nexus next since I do not foresee any brick issues, all I need to do is simply look into rooting it.

edit: seeing the several methods all require unlocking to exploit root capability, I'm going to wait out my DOA period (since Ive only had this tablet for 2 days lol) before I unlock the bootloader.

The methods discussed though work perfect for ICS, if you've unlocked and root then turning OTA's off is a sinch, with very minimal risk of a softbrick IMO :o
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Falen:
Thanks, I will try freezing with TB.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertylesh:
Just to let you know, everything's going awesome with my Prime, initially when I downgraded it, the OTA tried to download (i stopped it at 66 percent) and I just kept the wifi off while I rooted and disabled DMClient.

The bonus of freezing the process/service is when another update occurs ours should continue to block the FOTA, some other methods like modifying the build prop only work until a new update is out.

I'll definitely be unlocking and rooting my nexus to stop ota's :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Falen:
I finally have a minute to try to freeze the update with TB but I do not see a DMClient. Am I missing something here? I not sure which one(s) of the system apps to freeze.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChazzMatt:
And what would that file be? Where is it located?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davieslacker:
Disable using autostarts works...

I had my nexus 7 nagging me constantly to update too... rooted and heavily customized stock rom, different kernel, a lot of system files I altered... I really am not overly concerned about doing an update that might screw with any one of those components and having to go through the whole process of getting it where I want again.

I couldn't find this DMClient you guys are speaking of.

Here's how I did it:

Install Autostarts app.

Go to "After Startup"

Scroll down until you see "Google Services Framework"

There should be several of them. For me it was the third one. Touch it and read the bottom of the popup to find out. It will say "Receiver com.google.android.gsf.update.SystemUpdateService.....(you get the point)

Disable it. Done...

I don't know if there are any other repercussions to disabling this.. I just know it's not nagging me, and everything works still.
