[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] korekore1:
when i install a miui and it can't connect to google (play,accounts,search etc) it is usually a problem with file system/etc/hosts .They use chinese hosts that cannot access google.So i replace this file with the same file from a rom that i know it doesn't have problems connecting to the internet.Like from kalo's for example that is quite recent.That should also work with ics based roms i think.Just extract hosts file from system/etc from a rom with no internet connection problems and place it on the problematic rom's /system folder,give the correct permissions and then move the file to system/etc and replace it.

[HTC Droid DNA] donjuan08:
Hello I did not wanted to make a new thread for this question, but I can't figure it out.. I'm preparing my phone for jcase exploit to unlock my bootloader. I did just about everything to prepare the phone except for the drivers, and the drivers are usually the easiest thing to install.

1. I have sdk installed

2. Java is up to date

3. I have set up HTC sync several times.

- my phone is on debuggin

- I have followed the steps on HTC sync page including tunrning off my antivirus

The pic is what it says everytime I try to install drivers. There is also a pic of my platform-tools. When I try locate on adb the imei is not popping up it says waiting for device. What else can I do to install my drivers.. thx

sent from my DNA
[HTC Droid DNA] Cdoan34:
to install the drivers, install htc sync. after that you should be all set.

you can probably open up a CMD and check adb devices

if it doesnt show up try running CMD with admin rights.
[HTC Droid DNA] YeledKaki:
You can always search on Google HTC droid dna usb drivers, There might be some defected or missing files at yours. And if that doesn't work, try on a different computer.
[HTC Droid DNA] trickster2369:
OK, similar situation. I went through jcases exploit without a hitch. Adb works just fine, I can see my device with adb devices command. When I go to bootloader/fastboot-usb, and try to get my unlock token from htcdev, all I get is waiting for device. The fact that adb works tells me that the drivers are installed. What am I missing?
[HTC Droid DNA] Mazer_R:
When in the bootloader have you selected the fastboot option?

Sent from my rooted and debloated HTC DNA
[HTC Droid DNA] trickster2369:
Yes. I did this without issue on my Rezound, but this is really starting to piss me off. :confused:
[HTC Droid DNA] Mazer_R:
Ok, to further help you, I'm going to need you to thoroughly walk me through the steps you're taking -- all commands you're running, what you're plugging in, everything. I don't mean to insult you're intelligence or anything, but it's probably something simple.
[HTC Droid DNA] trickster2369:
No worries. As I stated earlier, I went through the unlock exploit from jcase without any problems. I went to htcdev, got to the spot to enter the command to get the unlock token(already in bootloader/fastboot usb), and I get "waiting for device".
[HTC Droid DNA] Mazer_R:
Some diagnostics:

1) Run fastboot devices

2) Move to a USB port of another USB bus (like on another side of the computer of the furthest port away physcially)

3) Reboot and do a 'adb devices'

4) Is HTC Sync installed? I've heard it can fudge some things up. Uninstall it if it is (the drivers will remain installed).

Reason for edit: making the diagnostics more clear for future users with this problem.
[HTC Droid DNA] trickster2369:
Man, do I feel not so smart now. I moved to another usb port, plugged, and the drivers installed. Fastboot recognized and listed my device. I don't know how many times I've heard "try another port", and it never even crossed my mind.

Thanks, from a 44 year old geek

:laugh::laugh::laugh:
[HTC Droid DNA] Mazer_R:
That's great to hear, man! Sometimes, when you're in a lower level hardware ROM, USB connections get finicky, and swapping around which USB bus handles the connection helps. Glad to hear you're unlocked -- let us know how the unlock finishes out.
[HTC Droid DNA] trickster2369:
Done deal. Unlocked, ready to get loaded.:cool:
[HTC Droid DNA] Mazer_R:
Good to hear! If you have any issues in the future feel free to PM me or ask on http://chat.andirc.net:8080/?channels=#droid-dna (the guys there are very friendly and helpful.) Or, post on the forums, but that one's obvious.

I don't know what happened but starting yesterday certain notifications on my phone are now spoken. For example the email, messaging, and phone calls. So when I receive a new email on the email app the phone audibly says "New Email".

Does anyone know how to disable this feature? I have looked everywhere.

Thanks

Nevermind I finally found it. I had to turn off Google Voice Typing under the Language and Input settings in system settings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] airbus001:
I was wrong, you have to turn off "Driving Mode" in the quick pull down settings. Must have hit it by accident.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] pzztgotbagz:
Does anyone know what all this mode affects I actually like this feature and would like it to be on all the time but dont want to leave in driving mode if it will negatively affect the phone.
[HTC One V] md1008:
I have been having many issues flashing roms on this phone, the number one issue is that my phone often gets stuck in boot loop after flashing aosp/cm/aokp etc roms. What I figured out is that everytime I reboot the device it will get stuck in boot loop, the only solution is to flash kernel via fastboot quite inconvenient as I do not always have my netbook with me. Perhaps it could have something to do with the update, however I have used the ruu to stock many times and this last time I did not update. Unless the hboot got permanently up dated and using the ruu back to stock doesn't revert back to the old one...

In any case am I the only one having these issues? I really don't mind sense and I love all the cool widgets but I want Jellybean so I would rather not go back to ics.
[HTC One V] cybervibin:
dude, both the kernels sense and aosp are seperate, only solution is take a backup via cwm or TWRP AND restore it whjen u want
[HTC One V] md1008:
I understand sense kernels are different than aosp, my problem is that after I flash rom+gapps+kernel reboot into fastboot fastboot boot boot.img that phone boots up and all is well except when I reboot as in turn power off then on my phone will bootloop. I was under the impression that once you fastboot boot boot.img you only had to reflash the kernel when you want to flash a new rom. I have to fastboot everytime my phone is shut down.

Also I just did a nandroid back up of stock rom with out flashing kernel in fastboot after using slickkernel(I forget the actual name) from aosp. So it appears that the kernel is only lasting at the intitial boot everything else gets defaulted to stock kernel.
[HTC One V] cybervibin:
ok try this, download sick kernel fastboot it, the flash the image via cwm
[HTC One V] md1008:
I figured out my own mistake, I was using fastboot boot boot.img which does not flash the kernel but is more of a test drive. So I now did this and all is right with the world fastboot flash boot boot.img. I do not have a lot of experience with fastboot or bootloaders. Sorry to clutter the Q&A
[HTC One V] cybervibin:
Ohhhh lol good
[HTC One V] mastertr:
Out of curiosity, could you provide detailed instructions on what you did? I am having the same issue as you were, I believe.
[HTC One V] md1008:
Here are the steps

*Download rom, gapps, kernel

*in recovery factory reset, wipe system ( optional)

*install ROM, gapps, kernel

*reboot into boot loader(hboot)

*Mount USB and extract boot.IMG from ROM and put it in c:/Android

*make sure phone days fastboot, if not press power button

*open up adb

*CD c:/Android

*fastboot flash boot boot.img

*restart phone and out sticks

Important part is to add flash to the fastboot commands

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dibyajyoti:
Rooting your phone doesn't change your firmware.. You're still on the stock firmware unless you flashed a new rom. Goto settings>about device> and see your build.. Then goto Sammobile and downlaod the rom that is listed for Panama and matches your carrier or build whichever. Download it and flash it rom via Odin and you'll be unrooted.

though i don't see any point in unrooting. Rooted is always better.

Hi guys and gals,

I stumbled upon this few minutes ago:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/6499/...ix-slimport-microusb-to-hdmi-and-vga-adapters

It is written that Nexus 4 supports this. But, is it possible to get it working on a Nexus 7? Is there any additional hardware in the N4 that is needed to support this?

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] l3iggs:
This is not possible with the nexus 7. The nexus 4 indeed has additional hardware to enable this feature that the 7 lacks.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] jonnyg1097:
The Nexus 7 doesn't have MHL support for this to be possible. The Nexus 4 on the other hand does so that's why it can be used. If I recall correctly the Nexus 7 can't put out any form of video to be broadcasted onto another screen/monitor/tv)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] monoik:
This is not MHL. The lack of MHL on the N7 is well-known. The slimport tech is quite new, and the info on anandthech left the impression that the tablets/phones implement it on a software level. Oh well, a man can dream. :silly:

i post here so we can discuss if we has any problem in our LGO4X

Hey, great launcher.

But what happens is that when i chose any icon pack, icons are not that sharp they look blurry even if apply a hd icon pack.

This also happens on other launchers like apex.

any idea how to fix this??

thanks
[LG Optimus 4X HD] razerblade17:
it depend on resolution,,maybe the icon pack dont use high resolution picture and our device is big screen,,i think thats why the icon has low quality

Almost all icon packs look bad except one.

here is a screen shot.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Feregorn:
I installed the Xperia T launcher a few days ago, and I admit that I love it. So much more functionality and personalization in comparison to the default launcher and I prefer it's appearance much better. Although the default launcher wasn't that bad, this is superior by far! And I've replaced, as you can imagine, the default launcher! In addition, I downloaded and installed a Glass HD icon pack and it looked fine, so I suppose that the resolution plays an important part!

I followed the instructions but it does not mention you have to install ClockWorkMod before you flash your cellphone... I just followed the steps the guy indicated and ended up with my cellphone displaying the SONY logo and then changing to the Sony Ericsson Logo over and over again, even if I press the volume up key, press and hold, spam, whatever I do it's the same, I connected it to my computer and it does the very same thing, I know I'm an idiot for not reading other guides or something but now I have no cellphone and I really need to either finish rooting it or reset it to ginger bread, I don't know, I just want my cellphone to work, please tell me there is a solution, Thanks a lot!

First, download the Sony update service. There it is easy to follow the steps to get the official Sony ics Firmware.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dennygrawg:
Guys ,

I am currently using WanamLite XXELK4 V5.0 as my daily driver for my International Galaxy s3. Lately i have been experiencing two very annoying problems with the gallery and swiftkey apps. When i try to open my gallery from either the camera or gallery app (and at times even quickpic for that matter!) i get an error saying there is not enough space and i need to delete other items which is ridiculous since i have about 10 gig on stock memory free (i don't have an external sd installed).Secondly my swiftkey says it cant load the language pack and when i try to redownload it fails. I am mentioning this because these two errors almost always occur together.

Factory resetting my phone when updated to the xxelk4 rom seemed to have resolved the issues but only temporarily as after two or so weeks the errors are back. When in this state i also get database errors when trying to view the pics from Quickpic and when i take pics with the stock camera app (or third party camera apps) it shoots but does not save the images and it appears to be a data/database corruption issue but i don't understand what could be causing it i have run a disk defrag app on my phone once or twice and i wonder if this could have caused some problems with the integrity of my internal storage.

I have tried clearing app data but this does not solve the problem and fixing permissions in recovery proves to be only a temporary solution.I am hoping there is some help for me out there my internet serached thus far havent yielded any effective solutions.HELP!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] frozeninferno:
Okay so i have used the padawan rom a couple times and not had any problems. I habe recently gone back to it and have had issues. I will say i have done the install instructions to the tee, i have re flashed probably three times now, and nothing has changed. So my problems are that it will randomly drop a call, it will not allow me to change my APN settings and i am also no longer getting LTE.

Does anyone know of a way to fix this or possibly know whats wrong? Oh and i have also redownloaded the rom probably 4 times now. Im about to revert to an older release to see if it fixes it.

Thanks for any help. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crutzulee:
The latest version of the ROM does not have the modem file included in the zip...If your existing file somehow became corrupt or does not play nicely with the ROM you may have the problems you are describing...

Download the modem file for your carrier and region and flash it...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ash359:
People keep suggesting flagging 6.1 first and then flashing 6.2 on top of it. But I see no problem just flashing in Modern.

The APN settings took me a minute to find but I eventually figured out it means Access point names.

also there is a button at the top to create a new APN
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] TravisBean:
I'm stuck with sprint for now, and am looking for a sprint phone with the best reception for voice and 3g data (won't be getting 4g LTE anytime soon). The tech at my local sprint store recommended the Photon Q since he indicated that it had 2 antennas. He also recommended the LG Optimus G due to it's advanced circuitry. Any opinions as to what phone is best ? ( for connectivity, not screen size/better camera)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] TravisBean:
So is the Photon Q a better than average phone reception wise ? If I was in an area where there was a weak signal, would having a Q be an advantage ?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Rangerbry:
The Q has decent reception it works in places my work phone doesn't. Which is just a Tahoe on sprint network.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] TravisBean:
Which sprint phone has the best reception ?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Rangerbry:
i don't know i've only owned the photon series and work flip phones.

Photon 4g is probably slightly better reception then Photon Q LTE
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] TravisBean:
Why ?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Rangerbry:
Well @ one of my customers in there warehouse they have a large freezer area inside. The photon 4g worked inside there the photon Q is spotty inside. Have to walk out of the freezer i know not the greatest test

Actually, that's a pretty good real-world test. Specs can mislead sometimes.

[HTC Droid DNA] crossmission:
Me and some other guys kinda highjacked another thread so I decided to open a new one here for people to share their opinions, thought and general arguments and if there are easy solutions to the matters that the DNA makes you sad, I did look through the first 10 pages of this section and didn't find anything similar so people, bash away, and bear in mind that what you say will shape my (and others) opinion and whether I should or shouldn't buy this damn amazing piece of equipment ;)
[HTC Droid DNA] xShin:
This seems like a good idea, and I can definitely see this helping a lot of people. I'm extremely happy with my DNA thus far; stellar battery life and performance, and the build quality is superb (especially the literal edge-to-edge glass that feels like it flows off the front of the screen). It's also quite resilient - I had it sitting in the passenger seat of my car, got into a pretty serious accident, and the phone doesn't have a single scratch on it. Obviously I got very lucky, but yeah..

On another note, my only gripe is that I can't seem to delete 3 of the stock bookmarks (Google, VZW Home Page, and Your Guide Mobile). I've tried clearing the app data, but that didn't help. I'm not rooted, but I'd think there should be some sort of workaround.. any tips would be appreciated :)
[HTC Droid DNA] crossmission:
I don't think that without root you'll be able to delete them, not sure though and I'm not suggesting you should root cause apart from the warranty being void there's always a risk of bricking, small but is there... I guess for now you gotta live with it.
[HTC Droid DNA] Symbiotx:
One thing that annoyed me about the DNA is that they chose to put Back, Menu, and Multitasking as the buttons. So you still have to have the 3-dot menu on screen. Luckily, if you root the device, you can change the multitasking button to Settings (which is exactly what I wanted), so I'm thrilled to have that. The bloatware remover is great as well.

If you aren't afraid to root it, there is awesome stuff out there for it. I won't be using a rom without Sense because I actually like Sense a lot. The lock screen and camera software are the best that I've seen.

The USB flap is annoying, but I will definitely be getting a wireless charger.
