If you stripped the head of it..you'll have to use a dremel or something and drill it out..?

You could also try superglue on a toothpick. Touch it to the stripped screw...but let it dry completely and harden and then slowly apply gentle force trying to unscrew it.

Or a very very small drill bit... 1/32 looks pretty close...

Good news... you can leave it off if when you're done

Hey

As a lot of you knows, we have some really annoying problems since the update on 4.2x , mainly concerning battery life.

I was bored to try differents kernel trying to find some that would give me an acceptable battery life.

I went back to a pure stock 4.1.2, stock kernel. I'll take a stable kernel, maybe airkernel (stable vers) or Leankernel for 4.1 JB, but i can yet say that my battery life is a lot better!

I simply would like to know if some of you made the same choice, for what alternative and for what reason :)

Edit:

And if you have a custom kernel, what is your favorite on this 4.1 JB version, i'm actually searching for the most battery friendly and stable one ^^

Thx! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grognaz:
Re: [Q] Who is already running 4.1.2 by choice ? :)

Im really thinking about going back to a older version since the lockscreen stuff, camera and lag are terrible.

Edit: cant believe i just wrote that i might downgrade the os.... But yeah 4.2. has been a verry bad experience so far for me:what:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n3m35155:
I went to 4.2 for about 5 minutes.

The quick settings thing annoys me to no end.

I would happy try it again if I could just disable QS.

It's repost of that thread

Could you please test this app: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/русское-тв/b624263f-d8eb-4b8f-8b6e-ffdd95f0d3f3

Just install trial version on your Lumia-920 (I'm interested in Lumia-920 handsets only), run program and tap on any TV program at the first screen.

Sorry, UI is a Russian only (it has no sense to create UI on different languages).

Thanks a lot!
[Nokia Lumia 920] ka24:
Tried It

Hey

I installed your app on my Lumia 920 , Russian UI was confusing but it works. I chose some TV program and it played it very clearly for some time before some dialog box showed up.
[Nokia Lumia 920] sensboston:
ka24, thank you very much! It means on your handset it works as it supposed to be...

It's really strange problem: today another good guy from Moscow confirmed - program fails on his Lumia-920 "Russian edition" (he bought it officially in Russia). Together we find a code part where it fails; will continue our work tomorrow (because now it's too late in Russia).
[Nokia Lumia 920] ellokomen:
I confirm this app works on my ATT Lumia 920, I have the portico update on it.
[Nokia Lumia 920] sensboston:
Thanks, ellokomen. Today I've got confirmation: provider of some Russian channels blocked huge range of ... Russian's IP addresses :( So, my app works everywhere except Russia :( BTW, Russian guys can watch TV on TV sets...

Hi there, does anybody know if it is possible to enable both USB Mass Storage and USB Tethering in Android 4.2.1 either natively, through an app or through some sort of hackery? I've tried to find any topics on this but have been unsuccessful thus far.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeying. around:
Hi all,

Finally received my nexus 4 after suuuch a long wait.

I went the nexus root as I'd really like to learn all the ins and outs of android. I'm working as a web dev now (nothing with java).

This is my first android device and I will soon want to unlock, root and try manually amend system files.

I have some questions though:

1. Can I unlock the phone through the terminal manually and without adb file? I want to do everything myself.

2. Are there any tutorials on rooting manually a nexus 4 (I saw a gnex). I don't want to use a tool kit for now.

3. I'd like to try start amending (very basic) some System files. Will it be easy to transfer over the code when updates come?

4. Do I really have to keep backing up etc. I can't believe that you get root in the version and not the actual device!

Thanks!

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Adrian b:
The problem im having with this rom is that after signing in to my gmail account and it says setup complete nothing is restored. I made sure the correct box is cheked but nothing seems to restore. I had the same problem with version 8. with other roms after i restore my phone automatically connected to saved wifi access points and started downloading my apps. Is there a way to fix this? I have used the search but cant seem to find anything on it. If anyone could help i would appreciate it. Btw I am on cwm touch recovery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bfranklin1986:
The android restore function has always been hit or miss for me, you might be better off using titanium backup or something
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] OsmanMusa:
Jovy's rom always require you to wait 10 minutes at first boot before you enter you start the setup process. I also notice on some roms and half of the time my apps dont automatically restore but my contacts always restore. What you can do is just go into the play store and touch your menu key and select "My Apps" then it will show you list of all your previous apps that you downloaded, google also has an annoying habit of including advertised apps in your my apps section or forcing restore of an advertised app that you never downloaded before when your device is restoring all your previous apps but that is Google and they always play dirty tricks.

I wouldn't recommend Jovy's roms anyways, I've experienced waay too many issues with his roms and I would recommend you go for the Frosty rom if you like Touchwiz, I am not a fan of touchwiz at all and I like Aosp roms.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jcbofkc:
Where is your rom? You can recommend your favorite without being a ****. There is nothing wrong with jovy's ROM. It's no wonder devs get frustrated with punks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] OsmanMusa:
Are you retarded or something? how was I being a **** for speaking the truth? I personally used his roms for both galaxy s2 and galaxy s3 and he has same issues with his Xperia rom, I can't say the same for Darthstalker, he may not have those issues in there but keep in mind I'm telling the truth, so for speaking the truth I am a **** huh? I don't think dev's care if they are critisized, if you tell the truth about something I make hell I will thank you and say I will improve on it not call you a **** for telling me the truth. We all know they do free development work for us and it's not like I am saying "He should not be making any roms" I welcome him to keep developing and others may not have the same opinion or experience issues like I did with his but there were pretty serious issues with his rom that both myself and friends experienced and you can even see his comment replies about people talking about those issues so heck do you want me from now on to just not talk the truth about another persons rom and not say "don't use so and so's rom" and just rather plain and simply recommend the best rom I have experienced with? The whole reason I even talked about Jovvy's bug's and didn't recommend his rom is because we are on the topic of someone who is using one of his roms.

His single most major flaw in the Xperia rom is also experienced by many people and that is the fact that after you get done with a call, you get the black screen of death so he has some sort of proximity sensor issue so people have to take out the battery and reinsert. That and some other few flaws. So don't tell me there is nothing wrong with his roms.

I challenge you to go and use Xperia rom and tell me you don't have any issues.

With that said I recommend you guys use Mike's Illusion rom for the galaxy s3, mike is a very tough developer and his rom gets me 3 days of battery life and amazingly smooth.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Qverse:
LOL you my friend are a jerk ..lol "I wouldn't recommend Jovy's roms anyways" Blah blah... ok ok ok take your Meds...Clam down. clam down.. :cyclops:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Want to stick my nose in here while I still can since we're on the interwebs and love to discuss and such.

The TouchWiz rom by Jovy gave a whole bunch that other roms didn't have, the not able to use apps while battery was low (camera) no other person gave us that feature which is huge in my opinion. He got it to use cause he can write code and edit smali as I understand. He is really good editing files and code.

Attacking his Experia rom is not what should be brought up here, that is a CM10 issue, I've had it on a few CM based roms, not just his. Secondly, you should take it down a notch, Osman, you are coming off as a ****, I would know I'm really good at it lol.

Lastly, Ramsays last rom was not the best to suggest, it has lag, battery issues, and flickering like a bad light bulb. His new rom that will be out soon with a new base is a solid, his rom before 1.18 is a solid rom, but not his latest.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Noobiologist:
You're not speaking any truth. You're only expressing your opinions but in a very biased way. All ROMS are equally the same. It's only best when it's personal preferences.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jcbofkc:
Really? I'm the tard? You are the one that is showing no class. Doubling down on stupid appears to be your only skill. Why the would you bash a rom you admit you know nothing about?

Your pathetic rant regarding CM10 issues is laughable and has nothing to do with TW on the GS3. Now be a good little boy and go troll elsewhere.

To the OP. As others have mentioned, it can be hit and miss with google restore. I have had mixed results with various phones and Roms. I rely in Titanium Backup Pro. Sorry to hijack your thread.

DarthStalker is a solid rom. If you need any help PM me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Adrian b:
well i do use titanium backup but it doesnt restore my wifi settings. Most places I go to it will be hard to get the passwords again. Thanks for the reply though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Adrian b:
I really like the darthstalker Roms its just that the wifi settings never restore. I can get my contacts to restore after i go to the playstore and it asks to sign in again. I followed all the instructions and waited the 10+ minutes.. Thanks for the suggestion though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grognaz:
Why does the GN lag so much when installing a app from the playstore?

And can something be done that i can use the device while a app gets installed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Godra:
I think it's because Android is just not so optimized, it lags on almost every debice
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grognaz:
On my stock optimus2x or anfriends note 2 there is not the slightest lag when installing a app.

GN basicly locks up so i doubt its android somehow...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yareally:
Because the CPU takes a hit with processing the install (unpacking resources, etc). OMAP CPUs are very open for development/modding compared to other CPUs, but the side effect is they're not quite as powerful due to avoiding some libraries and hardware techniques other CPUs might use that are proprietary in certain cases.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Savant:
Personally I don't have that problem with my gnex . Its smooth as ever but, I don't leave unused apps using resources like fb or other rogue apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grognaz:
so i went back to stock (with the exact same apps as before) and this is a huge difference, no lag at all, no even when installing apps from the playstore. no need for any seeder or lagfix hack to get the device working as it should.

so now the question is wether the lag apears as well after some time or if the lag thing is only present in custom roms. and if so then the question is why.

i will keep my device on stock for some weeks to see how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cilraaz:
It will almost certainly come back, and it's not only present in custom ROMs. A clean install of a custom ROM should result in the same speed boost as a clean install of a stock ROM. See the following thread:

Nexus Storage Performance Over Time & TRIM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediDru:
I would also say it depends on what governor and I/O scheduler you use. I would say try the stock settings of interactive and cfq.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grognaz:
as far as i can remember all custom roms literaly froze when a app was installed. so far i have not seen this on stock and i dont think that is a mather of trim or sheduler/governor.

but i will find out soon enough i guess...

Edit: forgot to ask, you are on a custom rom and your device doesnt freeze while installing apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neerajvd:
I have tried 3-4 ROMs so far and never faced this problem.

While downloading apps, I can parallely do other tasks, play games, make and receive calls.

And if this helps, My GNex is 7 months old.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] was1958:
I agree. I'm using XENON HD Stable-4.0 Franco kernel r364. Ever since dumping the stock ROM, the Play Store performance is painfully slow. I have 276 apps on my Galaxy Nexus and the Play Store seems to be the only app that impairs the phone's performance so dramatically.

As a previous poster said, a lot has to happen when installing an app. So I tear myself away from my beloved comm dev from a few minutes and do something else. Like relate to my wife ;)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aale331:
Hi.

I'm having problems with media button widgets (widgets for play/pause etc.). They do not work at all. Does anyone know what the problem may be? I'm on stock 4.1.2 LK7, rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] xterminus:
SGP 5.0 wifi, running Chip 1.5 GB ROM, but behavior described below also appears on stock ROM and ICS rom.

I'm not sure exactly what's going on with my player. I noticed this morning when I attempted to turn it on, instead of showing the samsung splash logo, (followed by the animation) it showed the loading/waiting circle then the battery charging screen for a second, then rebooting.

I fooled around with various settings, with no results. I flashed a backup nandroid, with the same behavior. I flashed an ics rom, same behavior. I'm back to my normal ROM right now. But the only way I can use my device (at all) is to do the following.

1. Boot into download mode. (power, voldown)

2. Flash a kernel (heimdall flash --kernel zImage)

3. It boots

Then everything works, until I power off the device. Then I have to flash the kernel again to get the device to boot. Reboots, Rebooting into recovery, etc work. But powering the device down completely requires a flashed kernel to get running again.

Any ideas on what's going on? I'm totally stuck. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
That is a known bug that happens when plugged into a PC, but it's happening for you all the time?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] xterminus:
Yeah, The bootloop is exactly what used to happen when I attempted to charge on the laptop's usb port. Now it does it regardless of power source, or even if there is no power source at all. In addition, I can't boot up the device at all without going into download mode and flashing a new kernel. Annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
I'm kinda stumped here... So strange. No hardware mods? And of course no USB port short because it still works. Obviously, the boot loader or kernel is getting confused and always putting it in low power mode. Try running as root

echo 1 > /proc/param/debug

to reset the boot loader settings and see if that fixes it.

Also, what kernel are you running?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] joethaking06:
when this happened to me I cleaned the USB port with a tooth pic and a little rubbing alcohol
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
Very intriguing. That is what I thought too, but there are only 3 boot partitions that I know of. If either of the first two (PBL and SBL) are corrupted, you're bricked. The third is boot loader config, which you just reset.

What happens when you are plugged into USB and you run adb reboot? You still loop, right? And you say you can reboot fine into recovery. Is that also true on Gingerbread? I know that on JB, low power mode is disabled when booting into recovery.

Now I'm beginning to think it may be a battery/charging circuit issue. After all, it is getting stuck in "low power mode". Does your battery still charge normally? Try draining your battery completely. Use it all the way normally; then reboot into recovery and wait until it shuts off. (Note that wiping battery stats is completely unrelated.) Hopefully that will de-confuse your device.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] xterminus:
adb reboot works fine. I have problems on a cold-boot or startup from scratch. I've been getting into cwm by flashing the kernel and immediately pressing power/volup. (Or going into recovery via adb or the power-off menu). From a cold-boot, cwm is just as inacessible as the normal android boot without a kernel flash.

Charging seems to work fine while the device is up and running. Charging while powered off doesn't seem to do anything but loop (even from ac power).

I'll run down the power like you suggested. Hopefully that'll clear things up.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] xterminus:
follow up

Discharging the battery to 5%, then booting into cwm and letting the battery discharge to completely seemed to do the trick. As soon as I plugged it into the AC, the proper battery charging icon popped up, and it seems to start up now without issues.

Thanks Mevordel for your help.
[HTC EVO 3D] blacktrump1974:
Bottom line, right before I upgraded to ICS, I had the best battery life I ever had when I was stock Gingerbread. And it also didn't drain my battery when I was in an area with a bad signal.

My question is, is there a Rom out here that can give me those things ICS? Yes I know it can very depending on usage. Or what do you guys think about going back to an gingerbread stock rom? I know its up to me but give your pros and cons if possible.

Thanks.

I bought my son a Kindle Fire 2 and rooted it to install the Play Store. I also installed a custom launcher to make it easier for him to navigate. The default launcher isn't that great for kids. Anyway, I was really jazzed up to use FreeTime but I can't seem to get it to work properly. I can't start a new subscription to access the premium features. I assume this is because his device is rooted and/or has a custom launcher. Does anyone know of a way around this?
