[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arival:
Hi,

My Nexus 4 is running completely stock 4.2.2, it's not even unlocked let alone rooted (first phone I've felt happy enough without root) and was running fine until yesterday when it ran out of storage space and gave me a warning. So i uninstalled a couple of games, hoping to free up a couple of gigs.

Now though, i can't get to the settings menu or any associated screen. I can toggle the quick settings from the pull down menu, but if try to enter the main settings menu it briefly flashes up and then closes. It's the same if i try to access settings through the launcher, and if i try to get to any settings menu via other means (ie. long press an icon in Nova and select 'app info' or 'uninstall') the associated menu again just flashes up and then vanishes within a split second as if I've pressed back straight away.

Nothing else seems out of the ordinary - apps update, i can get to the play store, apps run fine, just the settings menu.

Any ideas? I can't find anything similar searching here or elsewhere. I've obviously rebooted the phone but without access to the settings i have no idea what else i can change. I'd factory reset but I've not backed up a couple of apps and usb debugging is off so i can't use Carbon (for some reason it's always had problems keeping the initial enabling and needs plugging in regularly),and i can't use Titanium without root so i wanted to see if anyone had any bright ideas first :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vindikleuk:
Perhaps there's a way to just reset the settings menu? I've no idea what it's process is, but some action similar to "clear app data" should reset it :/ Just brainstorming here.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] molesarecoming:
if nothing helps do a factory reset. your apps will come back automatically through the play store when you log in.you'll loose your highscores but most apps are cloud driven anyway,
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigeldg:
Sorry for the OT but is that a genuine quote in your sig?!

Anyway @OP I think factory resetting is probably your only viable solution here, it's a very odd issue and there's not much you can do to solve it without a settings menu.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottx .:
You need to clear the data for settings. Install titanium backup and see if you can. You'll need to root it first though. Crap..I forgot forgot you said you arnt rooted.

Factory reset it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arival:
Cheers for the suggestions, was hoping there would be a fix but I guess a factory reset in the morning it is.

Frustrating as this sort of thing really shouldn't be happening out of the blue from a stock phone - it's a fairly huge bug!

Ironic that I resisted rooting to ensure I kept the reliable and simple experience of the nexus, only for it to be what stopped me fixing it when it broke :-\

Won't make that mistake again!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigeldg:
This probably won't work but try opening your quick toggles then long pressing on wifi or bluetooth, that's supposed to take you to those individual settings. Then if you hit the icon in the top left you may be able to get back to the main settings.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arival:
Nope, sadly does the same thing - the settings menu briefly flashes open before closing.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vindikleuk:
Hey OP, did you figure it out yet? I just noticed that trebuchet launcher allows you to go into settings via a shortcut in the app launcher. Probably won't work, but hey. Try another launcher?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arival:
Yes cheers a factory reset wasn't needed in the end - I worked out the problem.

I've been using my sim with my n4 as well as my new HTC one and hot swapping between the two for a week or so. I also have avast installed on the n4 which has an option 'disable settings when no sim inserted' which I'd forgotten about.

I only thought of it because when I initially took the sim out I got an email saying 'warning unauthorised sim inserted, id: {null}' or similar.

It didn't work with my sim installed either but I logged into avast, turned that setting off and everything was back to normal. Turned the setting back on now (once the sim was in) as it's obviously going to be an absolute pain for thieves too!

I guess it's a problem with hot swapping the sim while avast was running, the switch didn't get triggered even when I reinserted it? Either way now it just means I turn the n4 off before removing the sim now!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vindikleuk:
Haha, at least you now experienced first hand how secure your settings menu is. :laugh:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arival:
Exactly what I was thinking! Nice it gave no clue why it was happening and if I didn't know the password for avast it would have made life very difficult as it also disabled usb debugging, so anyone who wanted to wipe the phone would have needed some serious android knowledge.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahaf321:
Hello i own a SGS2 for about a year and it suddenly does not work anymore after i put out the battery while it crashed

i did not try 2 flash this phone or anything ever

it wont go to recovery mode or download mode

and wont turn on

its a dead body

i tried 2 use jig and it doesnt respond to it

my question is, should i try to replace its motherboard?

i mean is there a chance this will work?

or should i just take it to repair centre for jtag or whatever they would do there..?

the thing is the repair centre are asking for 200$

while i can buy and replace the mother board myself for about 10$

so what do u suggust?

btw it acts like hard brick, wont even show the screen when charging the phone

and the camera is getting hot when i do that
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
If you're confident enough to do it, yeah, replace it yourself. Or if you're not, you could always get buy the secondhand motherboard & pay a local mobile repair shop to swap it out for the dead one in your phone. Will still work out way cheaper than the $200 you've been quoted by service centre.

If you're going to do it yourself, there's a thread somewhere on here with the service manuals linked/attached (by TheUnderling, search his posts/threads. You could probably find them with a Google search as well).

If you replace the motherboard with a 2nd hand one, you'll get the IMEI that was attached to the phone the board came from, if the service centre does it you normally keep your IMEI (Which shouldn't be a problem, but obviously with some carriers/networks in some parts of the world it might be).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wishmas7er:
sure you can

let me know when you find a motherboard for 10 bucks, i'll buy 10...

prices a quite higher for motherboards ;) ( 50-150 $)

check well next time
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahaf321:
i can definetly do it on my own

the thing is, can i be certain this will fix the problem?

if not what is the probability?

also the motherboard i found is this

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-I99...743?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a2a3950cf

its 90$ i was mistaken about the 10$ one

but i can still save some money here
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Unless you're experienced with phone components/microelectronics, no, you have no way of knowing absolutely that replacing the motherboard will fix your problem. And that you asked this question makes it fairly obvious you don't have this experience. However, given what you've described & given similar examples on here over the past 18 mths, it is more than likely a component on the motherboard that has crapped itself.

You're looking for certainty, nobody can give you that without someone experienced opening up your phone & testing it.

If it were me, I'd get a 2nd hand board & pay somebody who knows what they're doing to swap the old one out. This would still be much cheaper than paying Samsung/an authorised repairer to put a new board in.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soare23:
Are you 100% sure that the motherboard is the problem ? You said you didnt flashed the phone or anything , while the hard brick appears when you do a wipe from recovery on a faulty 4.0.4 version of android. Try using another battery , maybe it is dead. Dont rush for the motherboard change , and like Mistah said , go to a center and let them just check your phone pice by pice and then see whats the deal.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahaf321:
i did try a diffrent battery it didnt work,

the repair centre said that something on the hardware is burned i think something to do with the flashing

and yes i did not play with the flashing of this phone ever, i was satisfied with its current rom
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soare23:
Then i guess it just happend , god knows why. Sadly for you , you need to indeed changes the motherboard , think at it like this , if its fried anywayz go ahead and try to change it yourself , if it works , good for you , if not , take it to a center and thats it. Its not like if you try to changed it and fail , that second , working mobo cant be reused by those guys at the repair center to do it for you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahaf321:
all the motherboard i see in ebay are just bids

do u know where i can find one for sale ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soare23:
If ebay failed you , you could try buying a phone with its screen broken and use its motherboard.I really dont know where to buy one , sorry.
[General Questions and Answers] Harish rathore:
hey guys i am in need of an security app in which if a person holds power button then shutdown the phone then a loud alarm starts ringing a message to a registered phone with location. we can shutdown the phone from that app or an option in settings (by this we know how to shutdown the phone but if someone stole it he will try to shutdown the phone and bam)

i have not heard of any application but if there is no app i can help make one,

well i have a Samsung galaxy s3 with sealed cover (full body cover) ,

and obviously this app will require root access.

I have to wait long I guess

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abmantis:
After flashing a modem I had no network. I've checked and I have no IMEI. When I type *#06# the box is just empty.

I already restored an EFS backup I've made, and the EFS folder seems ok.

Also, the modem I flashed was the stock one.

Do anyone have an ideia of what can I do to recover my IMEI?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evantkh:
I think you have installed the wrong Modem driver, try to get the official one from other sources and try again.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abmantis:
Nope, it is the correct stock modem. I also reflashed my previous one and it still has no IMEI.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Modem has nothing to do with a lost IMEI .

Restore backed up EFS and or factory reset .

Fails try a stock rom flash .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abmantis:
Yeah, but I only lost IMEI after flashing the modem. I had flashed modems before (even this one) and never had problems, so something must had gone wrong.

Already restored a backed up EFS.

If I don't find any fix I guess I'll try a stock rom flash...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ficti0n851:
Type *#1234# and see if baseband is unknown. If so then flash another modem.

Another thing to check is that if stock samsung dialer is not working imei will say null.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattBooth:
Incorrect. If there is no modem installed, it will not report the IMEI number.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
the reply was to wrong modem.

Hello XDA friends,

How many apps on Play Store that sync your notes with Google Task? Many!

But since I didn t feel confortable with any of them I decided to make mine, with an alternative Holo UI, that take inspiration from Google Now, Google Keep, and made it more intuitive.

The app is mainly designed to make you feel all the features in your hands, even using a smartphone (tested on my 4.3" Galaxy S2 display) and offer simultaneusly 2 type of navigation: dropdown (useful to skip from a list to another when number of lists is huge) and swype.

This app as stated before lets you sync your current task with Google Task, so everything is synced to every device you got, with your PC and tablet, android, iOS and Windows!

Isn t it great?

Support to Dashclock (4.2), Password, Reminders, Due Date, all your lists are available and you ll never lose a meeting anymore thanks to notification feature (expanded notification for android 4.1+ users).

A touch of color to help you highlight your actions, nice animations and a complete settings menu to customize your app, your sincs, your passwords, your notifications.

You can even count on configurable widgets, with every size support and tons of customizations; and what about shortcuts?

Some screenshot following

And to always feel all under control and ready to use we can use widgets and shortcuts!

Shortcut may be used to open a selected list or to add a nu task in a selected list.. or both!

You can set an illimitate numeber of shortcuts obviously.

Widgets are fully customizable, you can set the order sorting, set if display as checklist or as simple notes, choose if display the content of the notes, the max lines of the title, every widget is fully resizable and got built in 3 buttons to open the list, add a nu task or simply reconfigure the widget.

So said that the word to you, hoping all Google Task users will enjoy!

For any kind of requests, bug tracking, feedbacks I' m here, just shout!

Cheers :D

Note: there are 2 versions, one for free and one donate that differs from free version for only 2 features: passwords and shortcuts.

You can use free version anyway, it s pretty complete and has dashclock integration too, has widgets, reminders, all the rest.

If u want to support just buy donate version, if don t want just enjoy, share and give some feedback for free version :D

è possibile avere nel widget la visualizzazione della nota barrata invece di essere direttamente nascosta?

mi tornerebbe utile in una lista della spesa.

tutta la lista visibile e le note evase barrata.

non mi sembra di aver trovato una simile opzione

Hi mirko you can have in the widget displaying the note ticked instead of being hidden directly?

I would be useful in a shopping list.

all visible and notes list escaped ticked
[Android Apps and Games] ciprigeorgiu:

[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:
I can make an option about it. I find more handy to hide a note from widgrt when done, cuz i think "if is not here i did it". But ok :)
[Android Apps and Games] myrianto:
certo, per una nota normale è giusto così, ma mi sta piacendo molto l'usabilità di questa applicazione che voglio estenderla anche alla lista spesa.

vedendo le voce barrata posso controllare se realmente è nel carrello.

ottima app e ti ringrazio per la disponibilità. ;)

of course, for a normal note rightly so, but I am very willing the usability of this application that I want to extend it to the shopping list.

Great app. I've suggestions:

1. Multiple delete seems buggy. Please look into this.

2. In settings the command and it's description seem contradictory. You should make the description in present-tense. For example, "Hide Note :: Note will be shown" should be "Hide Note :: Note is presently hidden"

[Android Apps and Games] JanusDC:
Good bye Any-Do, welcome Got-IT! I just love it!

Two requests for a future update:

It would be nice to see in the widget "Today" "Tomorrow", and then the next 7 days and so on. The "Tomorrow" classification is what made me use Any-Do in the first place

In Today and Tomorrow we could hide the date of each item.

For everything else, this is a REALLY good app. I am going to buy it right now, just to support the developer (not interested in password features)
[Android Apps and Games] Mirko ddd:
Salut mon amie, did u take a look on widget settings? The orange button i mean
[Android Apps and Games] JanusDC:
Yes! You can hide the date for every note, but not just for the notes under "Today" (where it is quite redundant).

Anyway, it is nothing too important, it was just suggestions: to have a "Tomorrow" if you sort it by date, and to not show the date if it is under "Today" (or tomorrow).

Amicalement,
