I am using NOVA as my daily launcher. Whenever I open any app and press back key, instead getting Nova launcher home and I see stock touchwiz home. How Do I fix this problem? I can get Nova launcher home by pressing home button.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Aranen_Zen:
Mine is not doing that. I used an app called homesmack to set nova as default. That may fix your problem. Sounds like every action isn't defaulted to home. Just the home button.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dmwitz:
I had that problem with Nova and sslauncher but only when I had backed out of gmail!? Really strange. Do as Aranen_Zen suggested and install a home switcher to see if it helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] techiesam:
Thank, I will try home switcher. Does anybody know how to fix without installing any other app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DoctorQMM:
Not sure if you tried this yet, but go into NOVA settings and scroll to bottom...there's a setting called "set default home". It will show what you have set and can set NOVA as default there. Also, in Manage Applications you can clear defaults somehow if step above didn't work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] pyzik200:
I have a Motorola Razr M HD (XT926) and am running into the same issue with Nova.

Pressing the "back" button to leave an app takes me to my default home. However, if I leave an app by pressing "home" I am taken to my Nova home screen.

OP, did you figure this out without installing another app?

Doctor, I did as you said to no avail.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] techiesam:
I am not sure but with Nova update (or Jelly Bean 4.1.2 update ??) that problem has gone. I had setup Nova as default launcher but still was getting error.

i am not facing that problem now. No idea what fixed it, update to Nova or Firmware upgrade. But I am glad that it has gone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmpespi:
I have the same problem with my Note 8.0 but it seems to only happen for the Gmail widget, which I use very often. I've tried Nova, Apex and GO launchers and they have the same results. I've tried the suggested home-switching apps but to no avail. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Net Boy Steve:
Getting exact same problem

I have a Motorola XT925 RAZR HD. Just installed Nova and set it as default launcher using the Nova settings... made sure the Home Launcher has no defaults... but yeah, backing out of Gmail or Text Messaging would show the default launcher home screen. Rebooting seems to have cured it, but I'll report back if it comes back. Kinda annoying but glad to see others having the same problem, means a software issue, not my phone! heh.

Going to try a Galaxy S III Case

I haven't found any Nexus 4 sport cases, but I found A LOT of S3 compatible ones. S3 is a little bigger but close-ish in size according to phonearena, so I'm going to try a generic case that is maybe on the snug side for an S3 that hopefully the Nexus 4 will stay in.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whooda:
I just cut a cheap tpu or silicone case and slide an old armband through it. Cut the slits parallel with the side of the phone; about 1/4" smaller than the band that you are going to pass through. Make sure the case is tight on the phone and you should be good to go. I have also used a seidio active case (the one with the 3 plastic pieces). You slide the strap between the hard plastic and the rubber liner and it will work well too.

kind of like this

The attached photos are of a seidio active case for a galaxy s2 but it fits the nexus 4 if you cut a new hole in the rubber for the headphone plug. The power button matches up perfect but the volume buttons are a bit off. The lower button on the case is even with the top button on the phone.

I use this setup because I hate having the plastic protector that is on every workout case I have found. Once you start sweating its nearly impossible to control the phone. It also holds the phone extremely well. I have crashed my bike on the trail several times while using this setup and have not had a single issue with it.

I highly recommend against this method for anyone who wants the phone stable. With this method the phone bounces all over the place when moving. Not an issue as much on a bike, but there are much better options.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whooda:
Been using this method for the last 4 years on 3 different phones. It has worked great for me. If you cut the slits near the edge of the phone and just a bit smaller than the band (mine is 3" tall) it works well.

But hey, to each their own.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bullyfrog:
I'm using my no brand s3 armband. (was using an s3 before getting the nexus 4) Anyway, the headphone jack hole placement is slightly off, but you can still connect your earphones through it without much difficulty. The phone fits snugly enough in the armband too. Hence, if you can't wait till a n4 armband is available, just use the s3 one. It gets the job done.

Since the band you used is no-brand, can you post a picture of it?

Or, if you still have the link to where you bought it, share?

Looking at the S3 dimensions I thought that this would work as well, but the particular band that I got was WAY too tight on the sides.

Look for a Galaxy S3 water proof armband. The S3 is 0.5 mm thinner, but 1.9 mm wider and 2.7 mm taller, so a waterproof armband that fits the S3 should also fit the Nexus 4 (assuming you are not using a bumper, which would increase the dimensions considerably).

[HTC One S] disordered1:
So I've been using the stock rom but I'm unlocked and rooted. I was thinking of waiting it out for the official jelly bean release but I know how slow HTC is so I decided to try out CM10 today.

I downloaded the newest CM10 mod (nightlies) and flashed it. Upon rebooting I ended up in an endless loop at the boot image. I thought, 'hmm, perhaps not so bad. Maybe I need to look up trying out a new kernel'. I never got around to this and upon doing some other idiotic things (clearing all data, reformatting the SD card), I am realizing I'm stuck. I can't reinstall anything because there's nothing on the SD card. I also can't mount because there seems to be a problem with Team Win's Recovery (2.1.7) in that I get this error: unable to mount /sdcard

Then it says "unable to open ums lunfile..."

So, I'm stuck with an empty SD and seemingly no way to mount. I am able to boot into recovery but I don't know what to do from that point.

Can anyone think of a way to get this phone back on its feet?

And once that is done, is there a clear cut tutorial on how to correctly install CM10?
[HTC One S] dgwphotography:
I had the same problem. You have to extract the boot image from the CM10 zip, and flash that through the SDK.
[HTC One S] disordered1:
But didn't I ruin that possibility by formatting the SD? I can't seem to find anything on the SD
[HTC One S] GuestX0019:
I know I don't need to say this, but you need to read a lot through the forum before doing anything to your phone. Also, read the OP pages and first/last 20 pages of any thread. The OP or many posts would have mentioned you need to flash boot.img separate if your hboot is .13 or higher. Or, you can get Flash Image GUI from Market. I would also get a newer TWRP. Recommend 2.2.2.0. There are threads on TWRP/Flash Image GUI.

Some things to look into and read up on before trying:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1630459

If that works, maybe push "adb" a rom zip to card

And maybe run an ruu if you get sdcard fixed

As soon as possible get and keep rom and sdcard backups on pc as well as rom bu's on phone.

There may also be a stock sdcard card back up floating around or maybe someone has one to post. There was a thread with one but link is dead. Had the basic stuff the phone came with.

There are some programs that can retrieve data from formatted/wiped drives. May be of some help.

Not sure what else to suggest--you are not lost and someone smarter than me will get you working--good luck--:)
[HTC One S] AKToronto:
I have had my sd card corrupt before. There is a thread that talks about how you can re flash the original HTC recovery through fast boot. Then do a factory reset through the bootloader and it will reformat your sd card through a proprietary HTC process. There is a thread about this somewhere. I think you can find the original recovery on MoDaCo (Google it) and somewhere in his posts on rooting. Let me know if you can't find the threads on this.

I now have a working version of CM10 with a few bugs which I will have to look into.

They are: Device doesn't recognize the SD card. Apps like Dropbox, the Camera, etc. aren't working because they need to save to the SD. I'm guessing that the file structure is just a little off on the device but I'm having trouble with this because I also can't seem to mount my device properly (I can still push things via ADB)

You best off running a RUU and then reset in bootloader if its still not working.

[HTC One S] GuestX0019:
I am not really up on them, you can google/search. RUU=Rom Upgrade Utility. But, they are like the latest OS from your carrier with radio and everything. You need to relock bootloader and "maybe" flash stock recovery prior to running them. They do not flash thru recovery, you just run the ruu while phone is connected to pc and phone is booted into OS. There is a thread in Dev Section on different ruu downloads. Need to make sure you get correct one. Not sure that will repopulate your sdcard. Assume it is still empty? I was trying to pair down a stock sdcard backup I made before/right after rooting and remove my personal stuff. If you are still having issues, maybe I can upload to dropbox and post. May take a few days--very busy. Plenty of posts on ruu's throughout forum also--
[HTC One S] Darknites:
rugmankc has it right and is the only sure thing to get you SD back.
[HTC One S] disordered1:
Okay, just to clarify before trying this out. This will undo everything I just did so that I'll be back on stock? I'll have to unlock and root it and install the CM10 rom again?
[HTC One S] GuestX0019:
yes--backup whatever you can first, if anything
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Just to add to this, there is no need to root if you going to flash a rom after flashing TWRP.
[HTC One S] GuestX0019:
correct, sorry, missed that

the custom rom you flash will have root--

Searched around quite a bit and couldn't find anything relavent.. [reader rolls eyes here] :D

I have a Galaxy Tab SCH-I800 that I bought that had issues -- the same I'm having now. Upon boot, I get the samsung logo, then verizon logo w/ sound. Verizon logo stays up for a little bit then the device reboots.

Using Heimdall 1.1 I have flashed two different roms.. galaxy cubed 3 & a "2.3.5 stock root... both of which do the same thing.

In recovery mode, I can switch options using the volume u/d, but I am unable to actually select anything.. is the select key the power button, or actually the "home" button. I've tried the default android home button but nothing ever selects. If it is the default android home button can I assume that the digitizer is possibly the issue, or is there some other cause?

Just further notes here.. I was under the assumption that the galaxy cubed 3 pack included CWM, which I flashed with Heimdall, however after the flash when I go into recovery mode, at the top it reads "Android system recovery <3e>" ... hopefully this can help.

Thanks much guys!!

Would there be any way to do a recovery via update.zip?

My 983 just got soft locked (loops on turning on and can't even turn off unless removing battery).

I got some bad flashing going in there

Thing is, I don't have access to root, can't turn it in.

I'm a newb in all this android stuff, but I can't seem to use fastboot and turning it on with the up volume key only brings me to a big window that asks me if I want to do a factory reset (factory reset doesn't solve prolly due to that bad flashing).

I can get to recovery screen via adb tho.

Over there I only have the choice to install the update.zip or to reset to factory.

So, as I can see, my only chance is to get an update.zip (can put it on sdcard using my laptop card reader) and run it.

If you have a way to do it, I'll be really grateful.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xzyk:
ahkronn, this is precisely why we need a proper CWM recovery build for this device. With the Alcatel recovery partition you cannot do much, definetly not save your existing ROM. Even if we at least had a factory stock rom you could load it up via 'update.zip', but I have not been able to track one of those down either.

Root is not going to win you much if you're having boot loops, unless you can actually completely boot your device then maybe you can use root explorer to see what's missing or install logging utilities and then look at the logs. As it stand this device doesn't seem to have support anywhere by anyone I can track down across the vast cyberspace. It's a pity, cause I own some 20 android devices and this Alcatel compares quite well in the low to mid-range space. Even unlock (SIM unlock) turned out to be a pain, I had 3 online unlockers refund me the money because they couldn't do it. I guess the lesson here is if you want supported devices (especially on this site) then your HTCs and Samsungs are the way to go.
