Still getting bootloops when restarting.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Can you get it into safe mode? (Power + volume up)

Do it with your sim card and sd card in.

If it boots,switch off all radios (Airplane mode)

Then, reboot normally.

:)
[HTC Sensation] spturner:
Thanks for the suggestion
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Are you s-off?

What's your hboot and firmware?

Which RUU did you run?

:)
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
If you are soft and have super cid

Change back to your original cid.. Then try to boot and see

To check the cid

fastboot getvar cid

To write another cid

fastboot oem writecid "the cid'

Eg:

fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
[HTC Sensation] spturner:
Could it be a hardware failure ? Would I still be able to flash a rom if the internal memory or motherboard was messed up ?

Any advice appreciated. I’m totally new to all this, but picking it up as I go along.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
all the RUU flashing and still no success ..then the problem mostly tends towards hardware failure

try one thing ..try to do factory reset from the bootloader if the option is there (i think it has that option )

otherwise ...go to stock recovery ...

once you select the recovery ..from bootloader

you'll be welcomed with a triangle mark ..then press all three buttons together (power ,vol up and vol down)

then you will get some options ..select factory reset and do it ..then try to reboot and see

hope this works ..otherwise ..its hardware error :(
[HTC Sensation] spturner:
After selecting Factory Reset there is a few seconds delay then it just bootloops

After selecting Recovery it immediately bootloops. (No delay)
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Wait a sec.. Does the bootloader at the top say "UNLOCKED"? then re lock the bootloader and flash the ruu again

Re lock command

fastboot oem lock
[HTC Sensation] spturner:
Unfortunately though, no, it shows LOCKED.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trent25:
I'm having a couple of issues / annoyances that I cannot seem to find fixes or work arounds for.

Are these normal things that everyone is experiencing or is it a problem just with my N4, and may need to be replaced?

My phone is stock, and un-rooted.

1. Camera (main) continuously refocuses when in camera app. It only locks for a few seconds after taping the screen. A bit annoying but workable. The problem arises in Skype (and I guess in any other app), when using the main (back) camera it continuously focuses and refocuses every couple of seconds which makes it almost useless when trying to use the main camera to show the person on the other end something.

Is there a way to lock the focus, or tweak how often it refocuses?

2. Light sensor sensitivity: When brightness is set to auto, the brightness bumps up and down every minute or 2. The sensor is too sensitive or the software is too aggressive. I'm stationary and lighting in the room is constant, but I guess slight angle changes in my hand are causing enough fluctuations to initiate an adjustment. And the adjustments aren't smooth, they are steps, so they get annoying after a while.

Besides switching off auto brightness, is there a way to tweak sensor sensitivity?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trent25:
bump.

no one else has these issues or is annoyed by them?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravneetg:
I have the focusing issue too. In Camera if I tap the screen to focus on something, it stays there for 3-4 seconds and then re-focuses at the center of the screen. Very annoying.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brom25:
For the light sensor, I found that the automatic brightness was awful so I changed to manual brightness. Easier than tweaking I guess

about the camera, i've got the same issues as you
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trent25:
Ok thanks for the replies. At least I know I'm not having a one off issue particular to my unit.

Both of these issues should be software related, hopefully they will come to someone's attention and get sorted out. They're not deal breakers but annoyances that shouldn't be there in a final product imo.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spitefulcheerio:

Hi all..

I have been using the Zip files, via CWM to update my CM10 versions.. All is well..

But I see the md5sum files that one can flash with ODIN there as well..

So my Q is: Do I need to flash the MD5's as well? If so, for what point and purpose?

Regards

Md5 files are checksums for the file you are downloading. Its basically a way to verify you have downloaded the complete file and that its the file that it says it is.

I use a screen protector on my galaxy nexus and have recently noticed that the app drawer icons still show for about the second after I've moved on. Could it be the screen protector?

If it isn't, how do I go about performing a degauss? I remember CRT had them.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] niamul:
I'm mostly indoors; in the car or at work or at home and it's never very bright anywhere.

If I have to make an estimation of very bright screen usage, I'd say about five minutes a day.

Burn-in had to do with heat. Applying the screen protector does hold in more heat than it should. That got me thinking...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingkaiser:
Hi all,

I've been having this problem since yesterday. My notifcation bar has vanished, apart from on my lockscreen and when I have exDialer running. I have done a cache wipe, dalvik wipe, fixed permissions, and reinstalled my ROM (Paranoid Android). I dont really want to do a full wipe as I'd lose all my apps. Is there any other way, or is the only option to do a clean install?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingkaiser:
Btw: I tried searching, but found nothing in the S3 forums for this problem. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I wish it were that simple. I'm using nova, and have already checked for that. Deselected, selected, you name it. Doesnt work. :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingkaiser:
its still functioning btw. On my lockscreen I see it, and as I enter my home screen, it rolls up. Same thing, on exDialer its there, but when i switch to home, it rolls up again. Uninstalled the launcher, using another launcher etc, does nothing.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolhof:
Try to hold the option button for a few seconds when you are on your homescreen.

It's a option in nova to hide the notification bar.

Hello all,

As you all probably know there exists a popular brand in India which manufactures Android devices. It is Micromax Informatics Ltd.

This brand has been consistently rejecting to release kernel sources for any of their android devices which is direct violation of GNU GPL v2. And as a consequence of which we Recognized Contributors have initiated a petition in order to get the sources released so we developers can utilize the full potential of these devices.

I request you all both Indian and Non-Indian members, both Micromax and non-Micromax users to please support us by signing the petition at Change.org

Link to petition:

https://www.change.org/en-IN/petiti...pment-proceed-by-releasing-kernel-source-code

I also request you all please send this letter to Micromax over here

But i dont think Micromax will be able to release the kernel,simply because they dont have the kernel source with them since all are chinese rebranded phones.

Im 100% sure that its K-touch who compile the kernel and the rom for these phones and its not their custom to release source codes.
[General Topics] dangerjaison:

It'd be great if they support the developers by providing the source.

This is the main reason why we switch to other OEM like Samsung, HTC when devices with better specs are available for a cheaper price in our country. They should be made aware of this.

You could try to sue them for fraud because without the source code you don't know what's in the kernel?

Long shot I know, it's pretty annoying how these companies just think it's totally fine to do this.

I guess what was mentioned earlier, spam their twitter, facebook, G+ etc...
[General Topics] zelendel:
I can not say to spam them as XDA doesnt condone spamming for any reason, but for people to email them, I am all for that. Also it is hard as these devices are released in India and come out of China so the laws are very different. Like China based device OEM are not held to the GPL or any copyrights.
[General Topics] orangekid:
Yeah absolutely, let me rephrase that I would contact them in every form I can and not give up. "Spam" was a bad word to use.

And you are right Zel, they are going to have to do it because they actually feel for the users, no one is going to make them do it. At the end of the day if enough people go to another OEM they might listen too.

We contacted Torvald's base organization. He replied by referring to another organization, although from his reply, it seems they aren't the keenest/most enthusiastic people around who'd like to enforce the GPL.

Afaik, RTI can be used for information that is supposed to be public. You can't use RTI on intellectual property (If that was the case, companies would RTI each others secret formulas and procedures. But that isn't the case)

Best advice I can give now is to go Nexus, then Sony and last priority, Samsung.
