I have a few problems:

None of the metro apps that came with Windows are working, when I click on one, the large coloured screen with that white icon appears, but then that's it, the thing just flips away back to the start menu.

Despite Windows being activated, personalisation options are greyed out as well.

Any ideas what the problem is?

I upgraded from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 8 Pro.
[Windows 8 General] PubERB:
I had that trouble too. In mi case the origin was my Kaspersky Internet Security. I had to uninstall it and then install again. I don't remember where exactly I found it, but I read at answers.microsoft.com that the behaviour you are describing is usually due to antivirus software activated during Windows upgrade.

Hello,

I am having issues with a rom for a mini pc (Rikomagic Mk802 II).

Last firmware seems fixing a lot of issues, but there's just one bug.

When some app needs to access to microphone, it changes a setting (Audio Output, available in settings app).

To make audio in&out work, I have to manually access to settings and set it back to the proper value.

I would like to write a simple service that observes this setting and sets it back to a specific value. It will need surely root permission.

This class can help me in finding the setting? http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Settings.System.html

I can make a query on the contenturi selecting all the settings and obtaining the right one?

Any advice?

I managed using the content uri of Settings System class.... I have all the values, but putting a value is not triggering the configuration change.

If your bootloader is unlocked just flash the kernel u get with your custom Rom and cwm it's build into it
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery2k:
You can root your xperia play but you cant install any custom roms. Let tell you this straight just rooting your phone will not allow you to install any custom roms. You need a unlocked bootloader to do that.

Hi

I recently got Cm7 on my phone

and I was going to install themes and a few questions came up =P

which device cm7 themes are compatible with out LG g2x??

or

Can I just download any themes from any device forums?? Thank you
[T-Mobile LG G2x] justjackyl:
I recommend you just search "cm7 themes" on the playstore. TONS of sweet free ones. And you can also search for ADW launcher themes if you are using a cm7 rom with adequate baked in.

G2x-temasek CM7 build135.4 w/faux 054 kernel
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Florendroid:
As far as I know CM7 themes are compatible with any device running CM7. Only thing is HDPI themes will not work on MDPI phones unless you change the density of your screen beforehand. But in the case of the G2X, which is HDPI, all themes for HDPI or below will work.

Just make sure you do a back up before applying a new theme, just in case something goes wrong.

Also FYI I'm using cyanorangen theme by Mr DSL which is just awesome.

Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jnhsd0319:
Ok thanks alot :):)

Do I applied Lgui theme from o2x forum but only my icons change o.O

I thought my whole launcher has to change?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Florendroid:
Have you rebooted your phone after installation ? You need to reboot it in order for all the changes to apply. Then your icons, keyboard, statusbar and some other things should be themed.

By the way if you have launcher pro you have to manually change the icons in dock bar by long pressing the icons.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jnhsd0319:
Yup I did reboot right after choosing it as a theme from theme manager

But it looks like the picture (dock didnt change)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Florendroid:
That might be because of your launcher. You should try to change the dock icons manually if you're able to. To make sure this is due to your launcher you could go back to ADW to see if the icons changed. For that go to Settings -> applications -> your launcher and clear the default actions. When you press Home button choose ADW.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jnhsd0319:
Hmmm I went back on ADW and now it looks like the first picture

So is it impossible to get theme like 2nd picture o.O? Or am I doing someyhing wrong

P.S Thank you for helping me
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Florendroid:
No problem, but I don't quite get what you'd like to achieve exactly. You want your homescreen to look like the theme preview in theme chooser ? In this case you just have to change the dock icons in ADW. As for the weather widget you must be on CM9 to have it ( not 100% positive about that though).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jnhsd0319:
Yeah I wanted my home screen to look in the one in the preview

well guess I will have to go find the menu icons for ADW

Thanks agian :good::good:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Florendroid:

Hi, i've been using custom rom for a long time, and my phone is now kinda slower, i decided to return it back to stock and then tweak it.

I think this thread will be closed down my mod if they found it. But instead of going all back to stock ROM (which is not so easy as far as I know), I advise you to just flash the ARHD 6.3.3, it is so close to stock DHD ROM as well.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] b4d5h0t:
Ok lets try and see if I can explain what I mean... im interested in the new smartdock (it has hdmi 3 full size usb ports and charging jack) looks great but its not released here in the uk and its gonna be expensive.

Now I have a generic ebay dock on its way with charge and sync capabilities it has 2 micro usb ports i was wondering if it would be possible to plug a mhl hdmi adapter into one of the micro usb ports of the dock and use the dock for my tv out needs sounds simple enough but...

This is where I get a bit confused I hear the galaxy note 2 supports a new 11pin micro usb mhl hdmi adapter and the old 5 pin hdmi adapter used on the note 1 and s2 wont work. So I suppose the note 2 micro usb socket is 11pin the new mhl hdmi adapter required is 11pin... does anyone know if standard usb architecture on generic docks would support 11pin or 5 pin mhl hdmi as if the docks architecture is only 5 pin it obviously wont work as it would be going from 11pin (phone) through 5pin (the dock) to 11pin (the mhl hdmi). I hope someone understands what I mean.

Or maybe someone could explain to me the differences between 5pin and 11pin and maybe I can work it out myself.

Im totally confused as I thought all usbs were the same apart from speed and that was the beauty of usb its universal serial bus.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] calinormy:
The s3 and note 2 can ouput multi-chanell audio through hdmi. I guess that's why . So far as I know none of the docks supports that configuration....dock...usb...mhl. The smartdock is the only one . I'll go that way...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ZedZardoz:
The SGN2 micro USB port has may features:

Charging (up to 2A)

OTG Host mode

MHL video/audio

USB Audio stereo output

Docking Profile

If you dig deep into the USB spec. you will find how these seperate features all come together by use of the micro USB - ID Sense pin 5.

My guess is if you attach a SGN2 > generic dock > w/ USB (x2) > HDMI cable > HDMI display <<<< this cannot work as the USB ports have no way to convey the ID Sense pin to the micro USB port of the SGN2.

I'm waiting on stock for the smart dock. I wish it had a method to pivot landscape though.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
App - Ultimate Rotation Control can sort that (using it with the Smart Dock I have presently). Tasker should also be up to the task of sorting rotation issues with the Smart Dock.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] b4d5h0t:
Ah so you think it wont work through the generic dock this is shame as it would be a money saver and I have one on the way. I hoped the dock port might just work as an extension of the micro usb port on the phone meaning the mhl hdmi would work as usual but I had my doubts.

I have got an app called orientation control from the play store it was 96p and is very handy and easy to force landscape it even forces lanscape on the stock homescreen great for docking.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spamm00r:
Hi,

beacuase I had no other problems, I thought it would be a good Idea to encrypt my Android device. I did this first for the device through the settings menue and everything went as expected and my device was encrypted after a few minutes.

After that I wanted to encrypt the external SDcard aswell. But unfortunately when I select Encrypt SDcard in the settings menue, and the current password is requested, after entering the password, I get the error message: Error encrypting the sd card. Unable to mount the SD card.Tap mount to mount the sd card, after which the password prompt comes again.

WHen I look in the files directory, the external sdcard does not showup at all.

Anyone knows what the problem is?

I'm using the current STock Rom for Open German devices that was installed OTA a few weeks back. I have only rooted the device and done nothing else to it.

WHat went wrong? How can I get access to my external sd card back?

WHy does google offer such a option if at the end you end up loosing access to your sd crad?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cenobite_:
Can you open de SD card on a PC? What do you see?

I don't think that Google intentionally implemented a "destroy SD Card" function. But it could be that something is flawed. It happens.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spamm00r:
I can access the sd card on my pc without any error via the mini to maxi SD card adapter that came with the SGS2. I backed up all my files and everything looks normal on the sd card. So i could now format the entire sd card if that is necessary.

Thats the error message i receive:

After clicking continue and entering the password, it keeps coming back to this error message.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spamm00r:
I also realized that there is a message showing "preparing sd card checking for errors"

But that never ends.

I formatted the sd card on my pc with different file sizes and with the sdformat tool from sdcard.org, as instructed in many posts that deal with this issue. But nothing helped.

The sd card is however accessible from the recovery menue.

I now removed the encryption from the device via the option in the settings menue. The encryption from the device is now apparently gone, but the message "preparing sd card checking for errors" is still there and I cstill can't access my sdcard.

Furthermore this sdcard has never been used in any other device. The problems started, when I encrypted the device. The sdcard was inside the device when I encrypted it.

I don't know what else I can do. I wish I never had tested the encryption feature.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxandy:
A solution that worked for me

So this happened with me too.

It went away after I took these steps, in sequence:

1. Turned off the device (full power off)

2. Turned it back on

3. At this stage, the problem persisted

4. Removed the SD Card out

5. I saw the message "It is now safe to remove the SDcard". After I removed it. Oh well.

6. Re-inserted the SD card.

7. The same message came back - but this time it was gone after a few seconds, and got replaced with "the device has been encrypted".

I do not know if it was the entire set, or if it was only steps 4-7 that made it work - I'm just happy it worked :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spamm00r:
That didn't help for me.

I finally had to factory reset my device and then I first encrypted the SD card and then the device and that worked. Now both my SD card and device are encrypted.

BTW: I restored most of my apps and settings with the app "App Extractor" from my Clockworkmod backups. And that really works.

Only thing that didn't work was restoring all known W-Lan networks from App Extractor.

Things you might have to consider and I only found out later is:

1. You can not update over the air to a newer Firmware version if the device is encrypted. You have to decrypt it first, which takes some time to do.

2. YOu can not make Clockworkmod backups, once your device is encrypted. SO you have to decrypt the device first before you can update to the new firmware or if you want to make clockwork mod backups.

Once you are happy with your system settings, then It is ok to encrypt I think.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spamm00r:
I have to add other disadvantages of the ENcryption Option which I just discovered.

1. The external SD card appears not to be encrypted at all. At least it is possible to access the files without any password prompt from the recovery menue. I was under the impression that that would not be possible.

2. If there is not enough space left on the encrypted SD card, a mounting and decryption is not possible anymore!!!!! You need to have at least 14 MB space left for the device to mount a encrypted sd card. If not, then you will not be able to mount it. Also If you want to decrypt the sd card once you have encrypted it, you need at least 400 to 500 MB of free storage on the device.

If you don't know this and have less than this amount of space left, then you will be in trouble and should have a copy of your files from the SD cards available couse formating will be the easiest Option everything else is a Pain in the ass.

I was only able to successfully decrypt and mount my formerly encrypted sd card when I discovered the point under 1.

So please be aware that the Android device encryption schould be considered highly experimental.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spamm00r:
The external card never gets encrypted as far as I see it.

I can't remember whether i used the sd card in an adapter on my pc, I assumed that it was encrypted so I didn't try accessing the supposedly encrypted sd card on my pc via an adapter.

but you can access the files from the encrypted device by mounting it via USB cable.

Is google aware of these shortcomings of the device encryption?

They sell it as device encryption and you assume that you are save in case the phone is lost. But that is not the case.

Anyone knows whether these issues have been resolved in Jelly Bean?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spamm00r:
Hey,

anyone has tried the device encryption on Jell bean yet?

Are the issues that we have talked about in this post resolved?

Is the external SD now also encrypted or still not?

And is the recovery possible with an encrypted device?

I'm too scared to get in the same problems again and therefore would like to know if someone was already brave enough to try encrypting under Jelly Bean.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spamm00r:
OK. I tried encryption on Jelly Bean myself. And the status is unchanged to the prior version. External Card is still not encrypted, despite it beeing show as encrypted in the device settings.

So be aware about that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richy_T:
Same here

Couple of weeks back, joined the phone to the mail server at work. Was on pattern unlock. SD card said was encrypted and required PIN. What pin? Fortunately, set to PIN unlock and could see SD card contents again. Dumbass that I am, did not immediately back up contents.

Today, went to play some music. No music. No pictures. No video. Tried rebooting phone. No go. Changed PIN. Still no. Reinserted SIM. Nope. Not sure what else can be tried. OI file manager just shows "Scanning" when I try and access the device.

Encryption (this implementation anyway) is buggy and should not be trusted.

---------- Post added at 09:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 PM ----------

Managed to get access again by unmounting the SD card and ejecting and reinserting. It then asked for the PIN (which was the original one, not the new one). Hope this might help someone in the same situation. I'm hoping removing the phone from the mail server and using Divide will work (I'm mostly after calendaring anyway)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richy_T:
