Ok, after flashing matrix kernel thru CWM. My n4 suddenly turned off and won't turn on again. I plugged it into the charger and then the red notification light started flashing.

What should i do know? Please help!! Thank you in advance!:crying:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonwc:
Hold down the power, volume down and volume up buttons at the same time firmly until you hear the phone vibrate. If you see a battery icon press the power button again. You should now be in the bootloader and should have the option to boot into android.

Note that I'm not sure if you have to hold down volume up. It may only be volume down and power.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielvc:
There are a few other posts about people getting a red LED notification and not turning on. One had also something to do with CWM, and they all got a new N4. Can you get into the bootloader?

I have managed to follow the instruction to root and install the google play store from this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1905674 but it also mentions the ability to remove the Monarch kids interface and make it a regular ICS tablet. I am unable to find the system/vendor files to remove them. I have root permissions since it allowed me to run Titanium Backup.

I used ES File Explorer and wasn't able to find the necessary folders to remove Monarch. Any advice?
[General Questions and Answers] byohaserd:
Go into the settings of ES file explorer and check everything under root settings. The only folder you want to get rid of is the Apps in the vendor folder. Anything else can harm the system. I just used the cut feature on the apps folder and pasted it to my sd card to make sure it worked first. Good Luck!
[General Questions and Answers] theonyxphoenix:
That worked great, thanks. I had to make sure to change it to always boot in parent mode or else it tried to boot the monarch interface on a cold start and, not having the necessary files any longer, just ended up with a blank screen. I had to restore a unit to factory and then switch to boot in parent mode, then remove the apps folder. Works like a charm now.
[General Questions and Answers] jaudio:
how ?
[General Questions and Answers] ALD3:
Guess I missed something and should've read better, how did you set it to boot only into parent mode.

How do you set it to boot into parent mode?

Did you try going to settings -Security - put a TIC in " Set Parent Mode as default mode " ?

ALSO

I found no need to delete the vender/apps folder as it can be used to help get rid of "Android is upgrading ' message after each boot up that seem to come when you install apps from play store

---------- Post added at 07:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 AM ----------

I used TWRP to do anything - rooted or unrooted you can make change as you wish .

when you are in TWRP mount system then use advanced and file manager

hope this helps

I did not see that until you mentioned it...thanks

I was able to get it to work by going into a startup manager and freezing kidsmode2 and nabimode. I erased the apps folder though cause I wanted the space freed up.

Nabi 2 Charge/Reboot problem

Completed the OTA to 1.9.37, root, and gapps install - had the upgrading message on every boot but fixed that with the new gapps package (thanks a lot to all the great developers on this forum!)

However I still have a problem since the root process that I haven't seen addressed so far after searching the forums.

After my putting the Nabi 2 to sleep and plugging in the charger, it will fully charge and turn the battery light green as it should, shortly after that the device then powers off and requires a reboot/cold start vs. just a quick click of the power button to return from sleep mode. It does reboot fine and has a full charge - all other operations are normal.

Any suggestions on how to eliminate this power down/reboot after charging?

Thanks!

stuck in TWRP

My tablet only boots in TWRP v2.2.2.1

I've flashed at least 5 different images in fastboot using at least 5 different methods. Every time I think I make any progress, I reboot my nabi2 and it reboots directly to TWRP. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] ALD3:
Are you trying to flash a backup of 1.9.37 or just a program thru install? I know that if you wipe system and then flash another backup, if the backup is no good, twrp will not boot system but go right back to twrp. That is a safety setting, cause if it booted with no system installed you would most likely have a bricked device. That happened in the early days of Twrp, so they added the safety setting. If you flashed a backup, how long did it take, a good backup or image will take 10+ minutes, a bad 1 will say done in 1-2 minutes or less.

Might help if we had a little information about what you where doing.
[General Questions and Answers] mikewhit001:
I tried flashing multiple backups and they all go to twrp. The backups only took a minute or 2.
[General Questions and Answers] ALD3:
Ok your backups are all bad, that's why it finishes so quick and won't boot out of TWRP recovery. You will have to download a image file and get it into the TWRP folder on your sdcard. You will have to download it on your computer unrar it and name the folder something like unrooted 1.9.37 and transfer it to your micro sdcard. Then put micro sdcard back in tablet. In TWRP recovery, you will have to go into Advanced>File Manager. In file Manager, you will have to click on external sdcard and copy the file from there back to sdcard>TWRP>backups>serial#>unrooted 1.9.37 it doesn't matter what the folder name is that you put in the serial# folder but the all the others are as named and your new folder HAS TO BE IN THE SERIAL# FOLDER, or Restore will not see it. When that is done go back to main menu and Restore, you should see your new folder, choose it and swipe to restore. This should take 10+ minutes. You should be able to reboot to system then.

In es go to the menu where you turn on root explorer and tap the words 'root explorer' then a menu will pop up, tap mount r/w and then set /system to rw. You then should be able to delete the files. After you're done deleting set system back to read-only.

My n7 takes over 10 hours to charge even with the stock charger. I am running smoothrom 2.0 and have not updated to 4.2. Anyone else have this problem?
[Nexus 7 General] llODIEll:
I had this problem a while back, I found that it was the usb extension cable I was using. I unplugged it and used the standard charger and micro usb cable (like I had been) but without the usb extension cable and sat it on my nightstand to keep it cooler instead of on the side of my bed. Good luck!
[Nexus 7 General] ailima:
You can modify a micro usb cable. The N7 is very sensitive to a variety of chargers and will often fall back to the 500ma draw even if a charger has a 1A or 2A output. The modified cables signal to the N7 that the cable/charger is for charging only. (ie. not data).

See here: http://www.podfeet.com/wordpress/tutorials/make-your-own-charge-only-usb-cable-for-the-novatel-mifi/

and here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1497864

Both of these tutorials are a bit sloppy in technique. If you can strip just the outer insulation from a section of wire and separate out the white and green wires, you can short them without having to cut through any other wires. This is a heck of a lot cleaner and stronger than what they suggest. The down side is that you can't use shrink-tube to re-insulate and are then stuck with just taping over the connection.

If you are really slick you can cut a slit down the insulation with a knife, make the mod, then stuff the guts back in to the insulation before taping it shut. That's what I did - it's fairly seamless. :)

(Remember you only need to short the micro-usb side)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeinstlouis:
Hello all!

I hope that this is the right spot for this in the forums, I have a VERY frustrating problem since I updated to JB on my Sprint Samsung Galaxy SIII.

Let's say I reboot my phone and get into the car. I can push the little microphone and dictate all of my text messages, use Google now and life is good. BUT if I were to then listen to Google Music Player, or an audiobook through the speakers in my car, I no longer have access of the Google voice recognition. I try to dictate a message but I don't see the OK TO TALK prompt. I can't use Google now because it gets stuck in Recognizing..I can't use any of the voice features of my phone.

BUT, if I turn off the Bluetooth, I can use the voice recognition features. Turn it on and they can't be used. If I uncheck the bluetooth audio media option, all works great, but as soon as I check it, The voice recognition features no longer work. Rebooting solves the problem, until I listen to Google Music Player

This is very frustrating because sometimes I do have to dictate my text messages while driving. I can't do this, or use Google Now while I am in my car. I really think it is the Bluetooth Media Audio, but I am unsure how to correct this.

Any suggestions would be great!

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SixFootCigar:
Hey all,

So I've run into a bit of a snag when updating my ParanoidAndroid ROM 2.23 up to 2.99. After having some issues with the ROM after install, I decided to do a factory reset and re-flash my GAPPS and ROM, thinking to correct the issues. The Factory Reset ended up taking out not only all of my files, but also all of my backups.

What I have run into after that scenario is that TWRP no longer recognizes .zip files. I've moved them around on my phone to different folders, and it refuses to see them to flash a ROM and GAPPS. Does anyone have any idea why a Factory Reset would affect TWRP in this way? I'd appreciate any input.

Thanks!

The apple devices don't copy the alerts for only the roadrunner account, otherwise all 4 accounts repeated the same problem.

This probably won't help, but I'll put it out there anyway. I've noticed that when I go into any web based email client (Comcast, for instance) the mail on my phone from that account...refreshes, is the best way I can put it. Mail I've already deleted from my phone pops up again as new and I have to go through and delete it again. That has happened on pretty much every phone I've used. Never really looked into it too deeply, but it is annoying.

Definitely true! I never had an issue with any devices for years now until my note 1 hit ICS official. I am not sure how it coincides but that is the only thing I know of that changed. Strange stuff. I have the same trouble, especially clear from device to device.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] proplayer44:
Just a few thoughts of what I've seen in the past. You may already know all this but FWIW, whatever.

1. pop3 email accounts are crap. Usually when you delete, it still stays on the server until you delete in webmail or something with true access to email.

2. Setting up email accounts with imap will delete off the server. It's not perfect like Exchange but better than pop.

3. I've often used the settings in gmail to push or pull email from my other none gmail accounts. For example my home internet company will only send usage alerts to the email account they provide. They also don't allow access to see the email unless you are on their network (at home) or go to their site and check their webmail app. So I use gmail pull tool to automatically check for new emails every so often (Gmail decides the frequency) and pull the new mail into my gmail account, then they show up on my phone. One time I accidently created a loop of three email addresses, one pushing and one pulling email so 1 email continually delivered over and over until I realized what I had done. "Broadcast storm anyone??" You may want to check how many devices are getting access to that email address, it could be something like #4.

4. I've seen a problem where my home desktop PC has Outlook installed. When outlook is open I think it would receive the email before my phone and save it to the PST, so my phone would never see it. Except there was a setting in outlook to "Leave emails on the server for X amount of time. Which was great because then my phone would see them even though outlook pulled them into the PST file. However I also noticed when I deleted the email from my phone it would reappear and I think it was because I had outlook leave it on the server. If my PC was shut off I had no problems. Another way I could clear it was to go to a webmail site and login to my email and delete them off the server. Then they would still be in my PST from the first time they arrived and I could also delete them off my phone only this time they would not reappear because I had gone into the server and deleted them. I bet this is as clear as mud right. Meh

One of these above may be a factor.

I am using apex launcher and the symptoms have minimized or fixed.... but this is an android issue... android doesn't do push like the iPhone...

on the iPhone...you delete an email and a couple of secs later.. it is gone from the web... and vice versa...

on android you have to wait till it syncs... it doesn't do push...

these are the things that make me want to go back to iPhone... i wish we could install iOS on this big phone!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 722ish:
Yahoo mail app does push for certain, and so does hotmail, even to the native email app. I just cant seem to get the yahoo mail app to zoom ever, and it makes reading messages impossible. I get the same repeated emails in ios also, so it isn't free of similar issues for me at least.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AXIS of Reality:
Hi all,

Just got a new Samsung TV (UA46ES7100), which is one of their smart TVs and supports AllShare. That allows me to stream videos, photos, music, etc from my Note 2 to the TV pretty easily, except for 1 small issue.

The only music it will stream is the music listed in the samsung Music Player app on the phone, which only looks at a single Music folder on the internal storage. No music I put on my microSD appears in the Music Player app, and therefore does not appear in AllShare. I've always used PowerAmp as my music playing app which lets you assign folders to scan so I've never noticed this, but I can't find any options in the samsung Music Player or AllShare that will let me change the music folder it looks at.

Anyone know how to get Music Player to look at the external MicroSD for music instead of its folder on the internal one? :confused:

i just flashed xylon rom ( a 4.2 rom ) , i used to use PA 2.22 ( i am lazy to update them) and my phone turned from awesome to somewhat awful ...no offense to the devs though the rom is awesome but my phone have some issue with it

1.the colour reproduction turned yellowish ( it looks plain disgusting) forcing me to flash trinity kernel which fixed it luckily , franco kernel still can't fix the issue

2. system ui stopped responding , for some reason every now and then he system ui will freeze causing the wallpaper to go dark and the status bar to turn transparent which is really odd

3. performance hiccups , opening contacts , settings , music and all those basics apps sometimes takes FREAKING YEARS it at times will open instantly but at times it can take up to 10 seconds

4.battery drain ...holy crap i am surfing the web with my phone and i lost 30% in an hour ...

i am trying cataclysm rom , hope i will fix my issues ..still is all these issues caused because 4.2 roms are still unstable ?

again no offense to the devs of xylon rom u guys are awesome!

You are used to morfic colours, the colour values used in Trinity kernel. Stock kernel colors is quite yellowish, franco's is a soft blue. You can change the values using Trinity Kernel's app or use the Trickster MOD app. Both on the Play Store.

Did you factory reset? Overwriting 4.1.x files with 4.2 while still having some 4.1.x files will most definitely make your system derp.

Yep. That's about every review of 4.2 on the Galaxy Nexus ever. It's supposedly fine on the Nexus 4, but holy **** is it batcrap awful on our devices.

It's not really that 4.2 ROMs are unstable, but the entirety of 4.2 is unstable. Might be even more unstable than the Honeycomb days. Holy ****.
