[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aatm12:
This is probably a common problem, I saw lots of threads but I can't find any solutions to it, and I really want to make my phone faster i.e. root

Phone: LG P990 (Optimus 2x)

Problem:

Phone not detected by the computer when connected through USB.

What I tried:

1. Factory reset (only data)

2. Cleaning the port with a toothbrush

3. Uninstalling and re-installing drivers

4. Replacing the cable I was using with the OEM one (I lost my original together with my charger)

5. Plugging into different computers and USB ports

6. Checking and unchecking the option of connecting through mass storage only

7. Enabling and disabling USB debugging

What's so incredible about my problem is that the phone actually knows that it is connected to the computer - the USB tethering option is available and it says that USB's connected - but the USB connection icon on the status bar for mass storage doesn't show up. I'm not sure if it's a software or hardware problem. So any ideas how to fix this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aatm12:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carrot34:
I'm finding that the Wi-Fi hotspot / tethering feature on my Galaxy Nexus (running stock Jelly Bean 4.1.2) needs to periodically be restarted to work properly: it will work for a while, but at a certain point, connected computers (and I've tried this with multiple PCs of different brands) will start giving me "limited access" messages and not be able to pull any data from the connection. The only way I've found to reliably get the PC connected again is to tap on "Set up Wi-Fi hotspot" on the Android, and then tap "Save" (without changing anything), which seems to restart the Hotspot connection, after which everything is fine for a while.

Are others seeing this issue? (A similar problem is reported here.) Why would this be happening? And what could I do about it?

Thanks!

[Microsoft Surface] THEBIG360:
Hi people.

Was doing a little game play testing today when I re-downloaded hydro thunder to test it with the 360 controller. The thing is when I did it took like a minute to download and install. With the file size been 400mb I knew they was something up.

So as title says I went to control panel then internet options and deleted temporary files and history and bam 2.1gig extra. I find it silly that when you uninstall apps it keeps over half of the install size in the cache, stupid really.

And on another note when playing games on surface rt, playing with the 360 control removes all lag spikes.
[Microsoft Surface] paschott:
Just did some browsing and maybe something else was involved. When I looked at the folder containing my temporary internet files, the largest was < 1MB. Nothing there looked like any remnants of an app. I will take a look at running the cleanup app, though. While nothing _should_ be left behind, I can easily believe that something would be left behind....
[Microsoft Surface] THEBIG360:
Yes I found it odd, do me a favour download something large in size. Uninstall it then reinstall , it will take minutes to reinstall. Something is definitely going on here.
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
When updating Store apps, you'll often get an old copy of the app left as well, for some reason (as in, sitting in the \Program Files\WindowsApps install location). Disk Cleanup may take care of that, though.
[Microsoft Surface] paschott:
Ugh - owned and locked by "Trusted Installer" - bane of my existence when it comes to system files and such. Hoping I can get to it on the Surface, but haven't tried yet. I'm always wary of trying to change permissions like this just because of what could break. :(
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
It may be owned by TruestedInstaller, but it's writable by Adminstrator. Just alunch an Admin CMD or Powershell prompt, and you can delete stuff to year herat's content. If you want a GUI, here's one way: launch Notepad (fromt eh Admin prompt), then use File -> Open and treat the Open dialog as an Explorer window. Explorer itself will refuse to run as Admin; if you try, it will downgrade its own permissions.
[Microsoft Surface] THEBIG360:
I cannot even get into program files to check, It says i do not have the rite permissions . And i do not even know where to start to allow it?
[Microsoft Surface] paschott:
Administrator prompt worked. However, looking through there on my Windows 8 work machine, I didn't see any leftover files (which is good). I haven't tried it on the Surface yet, but will try to do that later. Thanks for the tip.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manthos1978:
1. enter recovery mode (clockwork mod)

2. wipe data/factory

3. wipe cache partition

4. advanced -> wipe dalvik cache

5. same menu -> wipe battery stats

6. install new rom and you are ready
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karabaci:
Thanks for the help. Can you please advice any up to date or ''safe'' ROM ?

And it is okay to install from SD Card directly ?

Cheers

Kees
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ej8989:
It is advisable to install from SD card, so yes.

Stock OTA 4.1.2 Jelly Bean ROM is the safest. So i recommend this one: http://d-h.st/t7o

It is stock over-the-air ROM from google with a few added features you may need.

source: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1854366

If you want more features you can try stable releases of ROMs posted on the development section.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ej8989:
You need to update your custom recovery.

Download CWM 6.0.1.0 here: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.0-crespo.img

Put it anywhere in your pc, or even on your sdcard.

Then go to command prompt and type fastboot flash recovery <put EXACT img file location and name here>
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karabaci:
Thank you all !

Last question: Is my phone going to make system updates via internet automatically ?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ej8989:
Because you have a custom recovery, no.

That's the advantage of using a custom recovery though, you can just download and flash any newly updated ROM/s instead of waiting for the official google update.

My Lumia 920 arrived yesterday.

Wow, a phone you can make voice calls on. Amazing! :)

Now I need to figure out what to do with this gently used titan.
[HTC Titan] drokkon:
You know, I wasn't sure that the 920 or Windows Phone 8 in general had anything that would make me drop $200 that I could spend on a tablet or something. Even thought the 920 camera is often and the Nokia people show their WP users way more love than HTC, my Titan is way better than "good enough."

But then rumors were that the 920 was going to actually sell for $150. Then it actually went on sale at $99. Now Walmart is selling it for $49. Then, in literally the last two days, my Titan has been getting sluggish for the first time ever. Now you're reminding me that my call quality is so bad that the phone aspects of the Titan are borderline useless.

Sold.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrinath_m2:
I too have nearly same problem, but atleast battery/charging is behaving well. Only no mtp/mass storage..

You can try -

1. Going back to stock rom and stock kernel using mobile odin

2. Mount usb storage from CWM recovery -> mounts and storage and then connect to PC

3. Clean the USB using qtip or a screwdriver wrapped in cotton properly

4. Try dialling *#7284*, if some menu happens, in the lower section there'll be 2 options, change to modem and come back to PDA

5. Change cables,

6. Change computers,

7. Try download mode, see if ODIN recognizes your phone in download mode. (If it does, there's no apparent hardware damage)

Last - Service center is your only hope (uninstall supersu, busybox, cwm and go back to stock before giving there - there is every chance of them replacing the motherboard after they look for your root business ;) )
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quarmzz:
Originally, it will not show... it will show as MTP. So if u are rooted which I presume u are, then download USB Switcher from the Play Store. It is a very simple app. Change it from MTP to Mass Storage, reboot. Now if you connect your phone to your laptop, it will give you the option to access your SD card from your laptop. I hope this solves your problem.

I tried rooting my tablet and downgrading to H.C but that ddnt work due to the r5 made some changes with the recovery. I flashed H.C 3.2.0 and ddnt work but that solve the problem partly since the rando m touches kicks in once in a while. After installing some games it returned and i did a soft reset by pressing the reset button f 15 secs and then the problem went away permanently.
