I wouldnt worry about it too much. Your data was most likely wiped with in about 10 sec of the device being stolen. That is why it doesnt show up in the other accounts. Its also the reason that most of these anti theft options really are useless. They assume that the thief will not remove the sim card which every one of them need to work. You pop out the sim and you defeat any and all of the remote reset options.

Thanks alot, i hope they wipe the data, i know the phone is gone but i hope the data is is also wiped out of it

Nat type 3 usually means you are fire walled or have blocked ports on your router. In terms of the PlayStation. Its open moderate and strict. On your phone I'd have to guess its hardware related. I'm not sure an app exists to open ports on a mobile connection, I've only seen DNS changers. You would have to look around.

No, the hardware is different.

You can probably port the ROM to work with GT 19060I.

Hi guys,

I have a Verizon Ellipsis HAD 8 (2016) tablet I'd like to root. There are no custom recovery options I can find (CM & TWRP). I'm thinking of trying some of the alternate root software ( kingroot, kingroot, SRS, etc) but need to have a way to recover if the device freezes. Any suggestions on a recovery approach? Anyone successfully rooted the QTASUN1?

Cherry mobile flare xl plus

My cherry mobile flare xl plus is always auto backing can any one help me please.
[General Questions and Answers] Fobos531:
Auto backing as in automatically backing up the contents of the phone? If so, there should be a toggle or a setting that you can turn off in the Settings menu or in the backup app you may have installed.
[General Questions and Answers] Raven.ariza:
No backing as in presing the back key
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It might be a hardware fault.

The effect you're experiencing is called "ghost touches".

If it's a software problem, you can try factory resetting your device or flashing stock firmware.

If you're using a custom ROM, try a different custom ROM if one is available for your device.

You need to unlock your bootloader and install a custom recovery to run a custom ROM on your device. Rooting a phone is low level stuff.

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:17 PM ----------

I'll put this up here, since I don't seem to be getting much response on my thread itself.

I need help with installing gapps manually.

Okay, so here's the thing. I can neither access my recovery, nor my bootloader. I tried to flash my stock ROM, something screwed up, and I had to re-flash ResurrectionRemix.

Anyway, the phone is running fine but I don't have gapps. I can't access my recovery/bootloader/fastboot (all of them give me a black screen ), so I can't really flash the zip. Even adb commands don't seem to be working.

The PC recognizes my phone as an adb device when it is switched on, but when I try to enter my recovery or the fastboot mode (gives a black screen), it does not connect to the PC and does not show up as an adb device or fastboot device.

Is there a way to manually install the gapps? I've seen people in other forums where they said to manually copy the contents of the gapps zip to certain locations in the system folder, but I can't seem to find the proper steps for it. Which file goes where?

My device: Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML; running Resurrection Remix v5.7.4 (Android 6.0.1)

Gapps I'm trying to install: nano/pico (x86 version)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
More importantly is to get recovery straightened out, then gapps will be easily. Solve both issues instead of ignoring one.

I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PM, KEEP IT IN THE THREADS WHERE EVERYONE CAN SHARE
[General Questions and Answers] CritMaester:
But how do I do that? I can run my phone without a recovery if I stick to my current ROM. But most apps don't work without the gapps.

And I tried looking around for a solution, asked a bunch of people too but nope. Some suggested using Flashify or Flashfire. Some suggested to re-install all the drivers. I tried everything, but it just doesn't work. I'd rather have at least one of my problems solved than keeping both of them unsolved.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Download the Google apps you want as individual .apk instead of a gapps package to flash. Then use a root explorer on the device to push the apk files to your /system/app or /system/priv-app folder.

I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PM, KEEP IT IN THE THREADS WHERE EVERYONE CAN SHARE
[General Questions and Answers] CritMaester:
I see. So can you tell me where I should place all these apk? For eg, suppose I download the play store apk and the googleplayservices apk, where should I place them? Do I place both of them in the /system/app folder?

And I was trying to download the play services apk earlier, but I couldn't figure out which version to download. If you don't mind, can you help me out with that as well? My device is Zenfone 2 ZE551ML, running android 6.0.1 atm, x86.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
As stated, you can flash a custom recovery first then flash a custom ROM but you don't necessarily need root to do it depending on how you get your custom recovery installed.

But there are two ways to flash custom recovery.

1) via your device's compatible flashing tool on PC(no root required)

2) root the device with one of the rooting apps such, then use an app such as Flashify or Rash or similar flashing app(root is only required for the flashing app to work correctly).

Some devices have a third option, they can flash custom ROMs and modified/customized stock ROMs via PC without root and without custom recovery.

So....

To answer your question, typically, no. In most cases you can't use a custom ROM without at least rooting or flashing via PC first, one or the other.

I see. I'll try it then. So I suppose I only need to download the play store apk and the google play services apk.

As for my recovery problem...

I uploaded a video to YouTube. This is basically what happens when I try to enter recovery.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTlMWnaHFsk&feature=youtu.be

The screen goes black and then I have to hold down the power button for about 10 secs to turn the phone off and then press the button again to switch it on. The phone boots properly, but even while booting, the ASUS logo (a white splashscreen) does not show up. Any solution you can think of for this?
[General Questions and Answers] CritMaester:
Awww crap.

So I extracted all the apk(s) from the pico gapps package and placed them in all the correct locations. Set the permissions of 4 apk(s) to 755.

*reboot*

Phone stuck on boot animation.

What now?

Like I said in my previous comments, I can't access my recovery/fastboot/bootloader since it gives me a black screen. What do I do now?

I tried giving it to an Asus service center a few days ago. They were like, "Your bootloader is deleted and we'll have to change the motherboard to fix it."

I wonder if this can still be fixed.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
See, I told you that fixing recovery was more important. I told you that fixing recovery would make this much easier. Now do you see what I mean?

It's gonna have to be fixed via PC using adb or fastboot, you need to clear cache. Clearing cache is required when moving apps to and from system.

[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
If that is the case you may need to look into a Jtag machine. Those are not cheap and you maybe better off with getting a new device
[General Questions and Answers] CritMaester:
I see.

Then again, wouldn't it have been possible to clear the cache manually for every app by going to Settings > Apps > Clear Data before rebooting? Sure, a bit of a hassle, but considering how recovery/fastboot gives a black screen, I wonder if that could've helped.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
No, you'd have to wipe dalvik/ART cache also just to be sure.

https://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/general/guide-brick-soft-hard-bricked-zenfone-2-t3284256
[General Questions and Answers] CritMaester:
Yeah no read my comments after that too. The thing kinda got... screwed up.

And I did visit that thread before posting a question here. I did all the steps and installed IntelSoC as well, but my device was recognized as Moorefield only temporarily. The device was not being detected by xFSTK Downloader.

Moreover, my case wasn't that of a cable suspended Zenfone. My phone was booting properly and I was able to use it, the only fault being the absence of gapps and me being unable to access recovery/bootloader (black screen OwO).

And I'll be honest. Because of the way it was written, it was rather hard to understand. That made me skeptical about initially trying it out. But that's just bad on my part, I guess.
[General Questions and Answers] Sam Nakamura:
Flashing the stock firmware with something like flashfire (needs no recovery) isn't possible too?

Stock firmware would probably place the bootloader, recovery and rom in the right partitions..

Edit: sorry, you're already in nowhere-land with a not booting phone.. So actually retrying the unbrick procedure is all what's left

Time reference on (lock-screen) notification possible in Marshmallow?

Hey guys,

first of all thank you very much for this thread. :good: I have two questions:

1.) is it possible to add nougat-like "time reference" (don't know how exactly to call it, just check the red circles on the attached pic and you'll know :D) to notifications in MM (or MM-based ROMs)?

2.) is it possible - again similar to what's default in Nougat - to add a notification that tells you how much more time your phone approximately needs to be completely charged when plugged in?

I'm running (MM-based) A5UX Custom Rom on Samsung Galaxy J5 2015 (SM-J500FN). I have root and TWRP Recovery. I flashed Lineage 14.1 and liked these things, but since both BT Audio and Miracast did not work I switched to A5UX ROM.

I heard of Xposed - maybe there is a module that can enable these things? Sorry, but I did not find any other fitting thread, it's hard to even think of the right search words :silly:

THX for every answer :o

advice about wichh is best to improve PC performance

Hi,

My PC comes with 4GB RAM and Processor 2.27 GHz

I installed windows7 bit32 (long ago, I really didn't know what to choose)

However I noticed recently that many programs which worked fine would simply stop working for no reason (PS I don't install updates neither for windows nor the programs)

I also noticed that Chrome or Mozilla would use a lot of memory although I there are a couple of tabs opened.

Adding to that if I'm using Foxit + Word

--> a disastrous slowdown :eek: :(

This didn't happen before.

Why now?

Would you recommend that I install Windows 7 bit64 (I just read that it would use all the 4GB RAM not just 3 as in the 32bit version) or should I move to Windows 10 bit64?

I really need help to improve performance!!

With all do respect [MENTION=5691352]Droidriven[/MENTION], I am forced to, in part, personally disagree on only one portion of your statement...

I'm not an Administrator, Moderator nor a Spokesperson for the xda-developers and am only mentioning this purely as a personal opinion and would love to have a Moderator or even an an Administrator (like [MENTION=335322]MikeChannon[/MENTION]) to please correct me if I'm wrong in any way or even expand on this topic.

Though, the xda-developers forum is an android based forum, it doesn't limit itself to androids only...

It is progressing to many other areas like Personal Computers (PC) and Laptops (LPTP) as well as the hardware and software that drives them.

The reason for this is because they impact the Androids and Tablets for obvious reasons and I believe that deterring these topics can reflect badly (both directly and indirectly) for the xda-developers as a whole for members (in a deterrent-like way).

I've found that most questions regarding the PC and LPTP are typically posted within the following category of the forum...

General Discussion - xda-developers Forum

...in which the following sub-categories are usually where those questions are typically favored to be placed...

General Discussion --> General - xda-developers Forum

General Discussion --> Questions and Answers - xda-developers Forum

General Discussion --> Off-Topic - xda-developers Forum

Again, this is all my personal opinion based on my experience within the xda-developers Forum and do not state this as a fact (that's only for the Moderators and Administrators).

Thank you very much for your time and understanding with this topic.

If their PC question is related to android and android tools then it can be directed to an appropriate thread/fora.

But standard PC related issues/questions should be taken to a PC forum.

This website was created for a reason and we want to be helpful, but it wasn't created for every Tom, **** and Harry that has a technical question about a piece of technology.

PC questions related to android are tolerated and even receive limited help but they are not preferred.

It's all about relevancy to the purpose of XDA. Standard non android related PC questions are irrelevant. There are plenty of PC forums out there that would more than likely give them better assistance with PC issues due to there being more technically familiar members there than there are here, that's what those fora are for, let them go there.

There has been more than one thread posted in XDA Assist asking questions about cloned Apple devices that are android based. The verdict.....they don't belong here even though they are directly android based. Same for PC.

I guess the odd question about Windows is not a problem. However, in general we focus on more mobile architectures possibly ARM etc. It's certainly true though, that we are not limited to Android but include some other mobile OSs and we're not limited to phones but include Auto devices, watches and tablets etc.

Windows for PC, laptops and PC discussion though, are not a focus for us except where there is some interaction with the sort of devices linked above. Ubuntu, Linux, Windows are all relevant when the question or development matter is related to the kinds of devices for which we've added forums. Maybe somebody has a device connection problem, a USB issue a network or bluetooth problem etc... these would all be relevant to XDA. We're also likely to see more and more discussion about "Connected Home" devices and possible connections / interactons with Windows, PCs, MACs.

Some help please!

So I'm using oneplus3T and it was working fine. But some time back something happened and my phone won't connect to the pc anymore. So I opened developer options, and changed usb config to MTP and rebooted the phone. That fixed the issue but only temporarily. As it'll connect like once or twice and then stop working again. On checking the usb config it again goes to charging only. So I tried a few more things but nothing helped. So I thought, **** it, I'll just get an otg. But that isn't working either. I've tried it in two other op3T and works just fine on them but not on my device. Can someone please help me out?

Personally, I think that other forums such as Tom's Hardware or even Overclock.net are much, much more suited for PC questions. The members there are generally much more knowledgeable of PC issues and the quirks involved with "this" system vs. "that" system. The volume of experienced PC people here and the average level of experience compared to the volume of experienced people there and the average level of experience are not even in the same ballpark.

Sounds like a faulty usb port on the device. Connection gets lost and resets USB options as if you had just plugged the device in.
[General Questions and Answers] Ibuprophen:
I do agree with you...

Though, the xda-developers doesn't cover the PC or LPTP as its primary goal as a whole but, as [MENTION=335322]MikeChannon[/MENTION] had mentioned, I also agree that there is a fine line for this as long as it's relevant to the development, support, etc... of Android based systems.

With that stated, this, in itself, can sometimes take a wrong turn and be a really tough decision to make since a member can ask a PC or LPTP question and cleverly word it in regards to developing, repairing, etc... an Android device.

I'm not going to comment on this any further since this subject can potentially be a round and round circle of points and counterpoints.
