I have mine turn on/off GPS,Location services,WiFi,Bluetooth, based on the power in the power cable. This is for a car install so I want to turn everything off when no power and turn it all back on and force the screen to stay on while power is on. The only problem is that Bluetooth shuts off ok but doesn't turn on with the return of power. It will work if I hit the play button inside the task but not when I turn off the power and back on again. Is there a particular order to turn things back on that will work everytime? Or a wait statement I need between certain processes?

Is there anyway to calibrate the accelerometer using root access ? I tried every app to do it but it doesn't get universally calibrated. Help would be appreciated. Thanks :) I think someone could make a small tweak for this so that it comes in settings app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mugros:
I'm looking for an answer to this too. According to my research there is no non-root app to fix it globally. So I guess I would have to root my phone. That wouldn't be a big problem, I guess. But I still couldn't find any definite information about the possibility to calibrate it at all. There are some apps that require root for some options like Advanced Tools. but that doesn't mean it will work.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fgocards:
I'm on bone stock ROM with the latest OTA updates.

For some reason my lockscreen has a mind of it's own and the ripples will randomly go very slow and lag really bad with their animations. I can have 0 apps open and 300mb of RAM free but they will lag, or 5 apps open with 50mb of RAM free and they will be lag free...

I score 12,500 on AnTuTu, so my phone is fine, and I see no other lag other than this besides my messaging app. Tried to turn animation transitions down to .5 and didn't help either.

Mainly just wondering if this is just my problem or others are having this problem too. Hoping it will be fixed in an update soon, because I have no desire to root.

Hey guys.

I have the problem with the boot loop /semi brick. Expect I never had any problem before, with the phone. I have tried taking out the sd card, starting it agian. I have tried without simcard. I have tried to flash the ROM with RUU_Vision_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.42.405.2_Radio_ 12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_199043_signed

via Hboot Fastboot USB PLUG mode (which was the only mode the aplication was progressing in until it want to restart the phone in bootloader), but the phone frezzes and the aplication on the computer just keep working, without progress.

The factory reset just frezzes the phone.

The only thing that really seem to not frezze the phone is the revocery option. Here the phone react with restart showing a image of a phone with two green arrows bent around, over a image of the phone. Then it turns off the display and vibrate 4-5 times, og stays turn off not reacting to anything other then taking out the battery and you can start the phone once again.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] gur-i:
1. Download Odin v1.8.3 or grater (it is a single .exe file) and CFRoot for DDLF

2. run it with Administrative Privelages (win 8/7/Vista)

3. restart your phone in Download Mode by pressing [Vol Down + Home + Power button for > 3 sec] a yellow Exclamation Mark will come on your mobile's Screen.

4. connect your phone(Wait for drivers to get installed) and now in Odin you can see a yellow small block with Com : **

5. click the Bootloader tab and cselect the downloaded file (*.tar)

6. Click Start and it will auromatically flash and reboot your phone , and That's It !!

You are Now Rooted !! :) :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KentuckyHouse:
OP, I'm right there with ya. I've got the S3 as well, and if I could manage to make the GNex anywhere near as loud as it, I'd return the S3 in a heartbeat and stick with only the GNex.

I've tried a ton of suggestions that people have made, with little to no results. I've been running Franco kernel for the past few days and, to my ear anyway, it does nothing when you tinker with the volume as controlled by the kernel. Volume+ (both free and paid)...did nothing.

I've got about a week and a half left until I have to decide whether to keep or return the S3, so I'm searching frantically for a fix for the GNex. At this point, the ONLY reason I'm planning to keep the S3 is because of the speaker volume and how good it is. It's just sad that we can't find a consistent fix for this problem on the GNex (that tons of people complain about) on a phone that's so supported!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] runderekrun:
Cyanogen nightlies have a decent boost to speaker volume.

Meltus is working on fixing Volume+ for JB. As it is right now it does not boost volume system-wide.
[Defy General] Sir Flashalot:
Interesting news read:

"Today they’ve announced that starting with their new Motorola PHOTON Q they’ll be unlocking bootloaders. On a very brief Blog post Motorola outlines that they’ll also offer this to other devices in the future too — but who knows how long that will take".

http://androidcommunity.com/motorol...?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=Connectandroid
​

Straight from the horse's mouth:

"We know there are users out there who have been asking for an unlockable bootloader on their Motorola Mobility device. For quite some time now, we’ve been working closely with our carrier partners to find a way to make that possible — all while keeping the networks secure and protecting other users’ experiences. We’re excited to announce that Motorola PHOTON Q 4G LTE, just announced today and coming soon to Sprint’s fast 4G LTE network, will have an unlockable bootloader. We’ll share more details on how to take advantage of this feature closer to availability. And moving forward, we’ll be looking to offer this option on other devices as well."

http://www.motorola.com/blog/2012/07/26/unlock-the-bootloader-on-motorola-photon-q-4g-lte/
​

Now we all know the "promise" they made in 2011:

"In terms of your question – we completely understand the operator requirement for security to the end user, and as well, want to support the developer communities desire to use these products as a development platform. It is our intention to enable the unlockable/relockable bootloader currently found on Motorola XOOM across our portfolio of devices starting in late 2011, where carriers and operators will allow it.”​

To make sure Moto sticks to their new promise, make sure you remind them on their special Bootloader discussion board:

"Motorola has recently expanded the number of devices that allow developers to unlock the bootloader, including the new Motorola RAZR Developer Edition and the Motorola XOOM (Wi-Fi and UMTS). This forum is to facilitate peer-to-peer support and help us better understand your development needs and issues related to this topic. Your input and feedback is important to the evolution of our developer-focused products and we look forward to some lively and enlightening conversations. Please respect our user guidelines when posting feedback".

According to Verizon, as long as you dont use a future upgrade to get a supplimented Phone (bring your own phone) and the line you are putting the spare phone on is ALREADY a data line, your contract should not change.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raeled:
I am using EOS ICS (4.0.4) on my Xoom 3G and aospx ICS on my Desire HD and was experiencing the FC's on both of them.

Have been doing some experimenting on altering the APK to get it to work on my device. I've been using APKTool to remove the "\res\layout-v16" folder from the APK. That seemed to do the trick and the modified app seemed to run fine on both the devices.

This raises the question for me why "layout-v16" would get used at all in the first place as my limited Android knowledge tells me it should not be used on API 15 (4.0.4).

I'm not completely sure what this all means but to me it looks like the devices are telling the apps that it is running on Jelly Bean while it is actually not.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Link_of_Hyrule:
Would you be able to post your modified apk files?

EDIT: I was able to do it however if you know how to do it without breaking signatures so that they can just update over the other apps that would be great.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raeled:
Altering the APK without breaking the sign should not be possible. Even if it was we'd probably need to "fix" every new version anyways.

I have been looking in the android documentation and the resource should indeed not be used according to the specs on the Android development website.

To test further i have created a simple APK file (attached) that will print out the current API level. It also has to "res\layout" and a "res\layout-v16". When i run it on my device it will (just like music apk) select the v16 resource while the API level is 15. When i ask the API level using code it correctly reports 15.

Also changed folder to "res\layout-v17" quick just for a test but then the devices didn't pick this resource. So it will correctly skip API 17 content

So it seems the system does know it's API 15 but will still get API 16 resources.

If the case is that the problem is in the custom roms and the official ICS roms do not have this problem i think the change that Google is gonna fix this is pretty low.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Link_of_Hyrule:
Yeah basically the Google Guy basically said our custom rom people need to fix it which is probably true however in my mind they could just as easily make a separate ICS APK like they have a separate APK for Gingerbread not a hard thing to do. But I hope that you're able to find the root of this problem I don't really have enough experience with this to know how to solve it in the rom. But you are saying that if there is API 16 material in the Apps it will pick it up and use it no matter what app it is?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raeled:
I've used the android SDK to create 2 ICS Virtual devices. (4.0: API 14 and 4.0.3: API 15). These devices resolved the resources as they where supposed to do. After that i installed the Google Play Music app on them and also those worked perfectly fine.

The change that google is gonna fix this is next to none. The APK is not in error here. If they do this fix then they'd be saying that the specs are "more like guidelines"

And yes, this problem will spread to every app that will use API 16 only functionality in an API 16 only resource.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Link_of_Hyrule:
Yeah I've pretty much come to the conclusion that there is something wrong with the actual roms that need to be fixed by our developers! Just the root of the problem needs to be found.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raeled:
The following are speculations as i messed up my Xoom by testing it. So use caution when trying to do what i did.

After some exploration in the Android source i found that the resource manager (the component that is responsible for loading the "res\layout", a.o.) is initialized not by using the "Build.Version.SDK_INT" (this has the correct value of 15), but by another property "Build.Version.RESOURCES_SDK_INT". This can be found in the source at: "\core\java\android\content\pm\PackageParser.java" (line 497 & 712).

Moving to source at "\core\java\android\os\Build.java" (line 120) we find out that "RESOURCES_SDK_INT" is based on "SDK_INT" but adds +1 if "CODENAME" is not equal to the value "RES". A few lines up we see that codename is read from the "ro.build.version.codename" key in the "build.prop" file. In the roms i use this value is "AOSP" so this means the resource sdk version gets +1 and will start to prefer Jelly Bean resources.

I tried to modify my "build.prop" file but this caused my xoom to not get past the boot animation. So once more: be carefull :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Link_of_Hyrule:
doesn't this mean it should be 15 instead of aosp? This other rom theirs has the value of REL they claim not to have the same issue we are having but I can't confirm this.

Oh by changing this for whatever reason it thought apps weren't there and decided to wipe a bunch of the app data... I just backed up the system so that was awesome!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] existz:
The "ro.build.platform.codename" is automatically set by the flag PLATFORM_VERSION_CODENAME in build/core/version_defaults.mk when compiling from source..Which =AOSP stands for development build and REL is release build. But by changing PLATFORM_VERSION_CODENAME := REL this does in fact fix this issue as Raeled suspected (tested by installing latest Google Play Music and latest YouTube, both work fine now.. )..

https://github.com/aospX/platform_build/commit/a34ffcecc7c237ac9c9e263984f6a74d3a7c3831

thanks Raeled :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Link_of_Hyrule:
But it requires recompiling the entire rom from source?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onesolo:
So this means that your next rom build is going to be possible to use the google music and youtube app from the market without any problems?!?!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] existz:
Correct..it seems that once compiled with =AOSP, all the system packages check this and if it doesn't return as a development platform (=AOSP) it crashes..this is why just changing it in build prop does not work..So the whole rom needs recompiled with =REL.

Yes, changes are already pushed to git and will be in next release.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Link_of_Hyrule:
Well your devices are lucky to have a dev actively working on fixing this it seems us Mecha users will have to wait for a dev to come along and release a new build or new ICS rom with the fix.

Google Play Store/Market Force Close another way Fix

Hi there,

If anyone still encountering FC/not dowloading apps for Playstore or market, it might also be the cause of new partition or something like that, you can try this another option freely..

This might help you guys :).

1. check if cache folder has "download" folder inside it, if it no download folder then create one inside /cache, e.g. mkdir /cache/download.

2. then chmod the /cache folder to 777, also make sure the com.android.vending folder is present inside /data/data/ folder.

3. You can achive it through shell terminal.

Hope this helps you guys fix the FC(Force close or not downloading apps on playstore or market).

Hit thanks if it helps.

Thanks
