[Sony Xperia ZL] vivftp:
Is the ZL actually out anywhere yet? I expect we'll start seeing reviews in the next couple of weeks or so.
[Sony Xperia ZL] manishgant:
Even the Z hasn't hit major markets yet besides Japan. It just released in the UK last week or so. But detailed reviews have been floating around for the Z much before that. Though I do agree ZL share the same DNA as Z, I would like to see a detailed comparison of the differences atleast. Hope it comes out soon. :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] vivftp:
Z is currently out in about 60 countries. Its launch is ahead of the ZL, plus it is being released in more markets, so that explains why it's getting more attention. ZL will get its fair share of reviews in due time.
[Sony Xperia ZL] rycexboi:
I feel like ZL is getting hella overshadowed by the Z. A lot of people still don't know the difference even though theres not much. Also for the average consumer, they either get mixed up with the Z and the ZL or don't even know that ZL existed.
[Sony Xperia ZL] manishgant:
My worry is that the overshadowing of Z over ZL should not happen here in XDA as well. Won't be fair if Z got all the attention from devs and ZL is left behind :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csunny95:
I haves root and flash cm10.1 on my phone. but I have a folders called Android/obb which I want to delete. But I don't know why I cannot delete it. I have tried by deleting it in pc or es file manager, It won't help. After that I have tried to format my sdcard in recovery and reset the phone. But the folders Android/obb still presence. Plz help! how can I delete this folder?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gie62001:
I might be wrong but I think this folder is part of default android structure and it stores some kind of user app data. So by resetting your phone I don't think you can remove this folder as it's there by default. However try deleting the content instead if the folder can't be deleted.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
You are correct sir. :)

---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 AM ----------

Have you checked how much space is available in your settings after you formated? If you formated, you should get back all the previously occupied space.

Why do you want to delete that particular folder ?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herculeesjr:
I'm trying to wipe and format a microSD card that I have plugged in via OTG and already have it wiped with this;

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/sda

Now I'm looking into how to recreate a MBR and partition table and it says to use the parted command, which I'm glad about as I'm familiar with the command from using Ubuntu but it's not installed and I can not find any instructions on how to get it. Can anyone explain how to install it? I know I could just plug the SD card into a computer and do it but I'm having fun doing all this on a tablet. Lol
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herculeesjr:
Bump

Anyone?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderbolt.dash:
I have got the same question, any other solutions?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herculeesjr:
This is the most complete information I have found yet, but it doesn't work. Either from me messing something up or it not being correct for the Nexus 7 being that it was made two years ago. http://www.droidforums.net/forum/htc-droid-eris/78650-internal-storage-partitions-screwed-up.html

I pushed all six files to /sbin/ with no errors and changed their permissions with no issues but I restart the tablet and none of the six files are in /sbin/
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herculeesjr:
Just for the heck of it I extracted the six files to the SD card in the tablet, CD'd to it and used chmod 0755 on all six files then tried to run it and this is what I get.

u0_a41@android:/storage/emulated/legacy/folder # parted
sh: parted: not found
127|u0_a41@android:/storage/emulated/legacy/folder # ls
e2fsck
mke2fs
parted
resize2fs
sdparted
tune2fs

... how can you NOT find that?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Depending on how your PATH env var is set, the current directory might or might not be being searched for program load(s). So indicating the current directory explicitly with a leading "./" such as

$ ./parted

will certainly work (if a read & execute bit set on file, and the filesystem is not mounted -noexec ) .

But...

...if those files are dynamically linked rather than statically linked, and the appropriate link-libraries they reference come up missing during run-time linking it is possible to still see a "not found" message. Sort of a red-herring error message, but there you go.

I just looked in TWRP's /sbin (ramdisk) just now. Don't see parted in there.

[Edit] I do see the string "fdisk" inside the busybox executable though! - maybe boot into recovery and see what

busybox fdisk /dev/block/sda

gets you? (I suppose result depends on whether or not TWRP kernel plumbs the device into place.)

Perhaps the quickest solution is to simply use a PC and media reader to do the partitioning from a PC instead of the N7. You might even want to boot a "Live CD" version of Linux to get at the tools you need. (BTW, I think that Ubuntu's Live CD mounts a fuse FS over the top of the RO DVD/CD, so you can even download and install packages as needed).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herculeesjr:
I managed to get everything to work by doing this:

1. Using this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beansoft.mount_system&hl=en I remounted /system as RW

2. Using the CyanogenMod File Manager I copied the parted file to /system/bin (from the root of the SD card)

3. Then using the File Manager still, go to the Properties of the parted file and go to Permissions and under R, W, and X put a check mark in the three boxes bellow each. (I don't know which ones it needs permissions for so I just give it permissions to everything, kinda frowned upon to do but I trust this program so...)

By doing this you can completely stay out of command line, but at the same time you're installing a command line program so you shouldn't be afraid of the command line in the first place. Lol.

Note: After this you can go to a terminal window and type su to get root access then type

parted /dev/block/sda

you will of opened your external memory card, now use parted as you would normally.

Just updated to the 10.1 thru the cm updater. Loving it. Can't use the gapps tho. I know I need to download them and put it on my sd card but can someone remind me how to install it? Wipe data and calvik and flash nightly and gapps? I'm not the best at this lol also I don't have the option to reboot to recovery which sucks cuz that was convenient. Much help is appreciated. Thanks guys
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamterence:
Yup dude, just download the latest gapps for JB 4.2 (I think it's the 20121212 version), flash nightly, flash gapps. Good to go
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DynamicN:
For that reboot to recovery option activate Developer Options by going to System Setting > About Phone > Build Number and tap on Build Number 7 times.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpsears90:
there's a cool little trick lol awesome. And just to triple check, wipe data and dalvik before I flash right?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DynamicN:
You always have better results with a clean install so yes, wipe both data and cache. Make sure you have the ROM and gapps on your sd card first, then wipe all three (data, cache, and dalvik cache) then flash ROM and immediately after flashing the ROM flash gapps, reboot and enjoy.

So heres the problem,

my wife's gs3 recently upgraded itself to jelly bean . in the process it lost wifi connection to our home network. I've looked endless for a fix and cant find a thing that will bring back the wifi. SOOOOO..... Im hoping someone knows how to STOP the phone from checking for jelly bean.

thanks in advancw
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pcshano:
try that

if not

tell her to try factory reset

if you're root'd, try clean cache and dalvik(make sure you make backups)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
I can't say I get your issue when you say to stop checking for jellybean ?

Are you rooted ? If not try a factory reset or reflash kies .
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
as far as the wifi problem goes, there's a thread here in Q&A (perhaps on page 2) that has recently dealt with similar wifi issues. give that a search.

when you talk about OS updates, your carrier (which carrier are you?) notifies you about them. your phone is not searching or pinging for them. most users have the option of pushing an update off temporarily if they dont want it yet or at all. my wife was notified of the update and opted to go ahead with it. she had multiple problems afterwards until i did a full wipe and reflashed the stock firmware. hit me back
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ender200j:
If you are on AT&T you can probably get a new phone for that problem. I had the same problem with my skyrocket post ICS update and I walked in and they played with it a bit then gave me a new phone.
[Ideos S7 General] JotaMG:
Hi!

In case anyone want to try to run the new Ubuntu Touch on our Ideos S7 device, Canonical provided a porting guide, which explains the steps needed to port Ubuntu on a new hardware:

--> wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting

( a grande bosta que é o XDA não me deixa colocar links externos... ;) )

Remenber it is a developer preview!

Theoretically should be possible to have everything on the S7 working, as Ubuntu re-uses the same Android binary blobs already available on the S7.

Also is there any problems when using encryption? Such as bootlooping then flashing a new rom and losing everything that was encrypted?

sent from MY BAD A$$ ET4G
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] swalter718:
Encryption works great, except that it slows your phone down the speed of an abacus. When your device is encrypted, every action requires additional RAM and processing time to handle on-the-fly encryption and decryption. Your Quadrant score will go from 7000+ to about 4000. If you need encryption for certain files, documents, etc., I suggest maintaining a separate SD card, encrypted, for those special files. IMO, whole-device encryption is not pragmatic... Yet.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] donatom3:
This is the opposite of what I've seen with encryption. Android uses dm-crypt from Linux it's handled at kernel level, the end user shouldn't a see noticeable performance hit. The main problem is that you're going to have to create an unlock password to use every time you boot your phone and you will need to set a screen unlock password.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] swalter718:
You don't think that the "noticeable performance hit" is an issue? I don't see why anyone would think that setting a password on an encrypted device would be "the main problem".

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LasVegasRomeo:
Correct, Your phone is different and not a fascinate. Not really sure what is workin for your guys as far as flashing. Every phone has its own personality. B brads acts like my one ex few a year or two ago! hahahaha But ya mine does that every time when coming back from stock or cm9 ( status 7 errors) after ics usually wiping data and cache flash 4.2 you might get status 7 3 or 4 times it should boot into the next recovery then flash 4.2 again. What I do now is (if coming from stock) I go right to 4.2. This last time i flashed the cwm recovery then flashed the 4.2. Usually it will boot into the cwm5 add your golden. Because of the change in partitioning if not going back to stock just wiping and flashing those few times should get you there. I had no issues with that though when I flashed right from stock and skipped ics. I explained i what I did HERE in post #7. Everyone does/finds what works after a bit of crack flashing lol If you still having issues one more thing you can try before having or decide to go to stock and back up is try flashing a 4.1.2 rom then 4.2.2. I seriously had to keep trying to flash the zip several times and getting status 7's every time before it took. What a pain!

I'm unsure overall. And don't worry there's no chance it will already be mb1 lol. If new out of box, it will at a minimum be at LJ7. Ma6 and mb1 have been released in the last week.

Root will work on mb1.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pathtologos:
Is mb1 that much better?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ZionZR2:
I really do not know. I went to MA6 from whatever was previous on my phone(4.1.1). then I rooted then next morning OTA MB1 and rerooted all in less than 48 hours. So i have really no way of knowing what changes were in between MA6 and MB1. There were some minor changes I noticed after updating to MA6.

Google Settings appeared in the App drawer. I think there were some keyboard modifications where there is a separate heptic feedback switch to turn on or off.

Other than that I think everything else was behind the scenes type stuff and bug fixes.
