[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] edsub:
Most likely the hard-reset was caused by the fact that you did not put your phone in flight-mode before changing SIMs.

Happened to me once . . .

There is a thread on it . . .somewhere
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] ravelcop:
edsub,

I don't switch my pda to flight mode everytime i change SIM and I usually don't encounter hard resets, only soft resets. This is the only time i did encounter it that's why i was wondering coz everything i did was just the same as before.

rudegar,

i was having problem on restoration of *.stg file coz it doesn't seem to restore everything. i encounter errors at the last part of restoration process wherein it warns me that some database files (including contacts and appointments) cannot be copied to my pda coz they are being held by some applications that are currently running. And im sure that there's no application running then, i even did some few soft resets prior to it, just to make sure.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
yes i had that thing where it give those errors and dont restore contacts and appointmens and such but it does always restore applications and files for me

then when i have restored i just sync the xda with outlook and i once more have my contacts and appointments
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] ravelcop:
Thanks rudegar,

So you're saying that we currently don't have any resolution for that, just a workaround? Actually, I'm now having my pda sync with our exchange server just to make sure if ever that darn thing comes out again. Thanks so much, il try to as microsoft about this.

So im using nova launcher prime, and i have it set as the default launcher, but everytime i reboot the phone it starts up in sense until i change the launcher back to Nova..

Anyways to prevent this?
[HTC Droid DNA] cowisland:
Try clearing defaults for the HTC Sense app (under Apps settings), which is the launcher.
[HTC Droid DNA] 123421342:
Are you unlocked? You are best flashing a desensed/aosp based rom. If not, clear the defaults for the sense launcher.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drguild:
I have CWM as my recovery and PA on the device.

I got a message today saying a new PA is out and grabbed the zip from goo manager.

Now I understand with goo manager you need a openscript recovery to use that to update though it appears CWM recovery doesn't use that but TWP does.

In CM10 you go to the settings and update from the OTA section in the about tab.

PA doesn't use those OTA updates it seems when CM does.

I would still be using CM but was getting a lot of crashes on M3 so I decided to try a few roms and currently running PA.

So what's the best way to update can I just flash the rom over the top of the current system without formatting first?

Thanks
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dibblebill:
Move the zip containing the update to /sdcard (your root documents directory, where all your files are stored- ANdroid, Data, DCIM, Downloads, etc), reboot to CWM, flash zip, select zip and go. That should be all you have to do. :good:
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purmou:
It worked fine for me using CWM and the usual method to update (recovery->install zip->select from SD). The only problem I'm having is a DPI issue in the launcher. Make sure to install the newest gapps as well and clear the cache.

Recovery Menu

To get root we must first get out of production mode else we can not remount the file system in read write mode.

I've got so far to get in recovery modebut saidly my mandedrijn language is so bad I have no idea what I did and it was kind of freaky. It looked like it was doing some self test or so but the buttons are totaly a mistery to me but ok I will try to explain.

now in this menu on my phone it's in chinees i think i don't know for sure. maybe someone has a english version or can translate it somehow.

If your like me and don't know what ur doing It might screw up your phone after i played with the buttons and menu i got all sorts of weird things but never pulled the battery cause that can just brick your device if you don't know what it's doing.

so I saw some gps wi-fi bluetooth gsm1 gsm2 mmc got a black screen with redblocks on the border screen changing colors low beeps high beebs stuff like that came by and i was just pressing buttons to get out of it hahaha.

Soooo be carefull Backup before you enter here. After restarting after all this my phone was reset to factory default. SD-card was not touched.

but no garanties here.

Advice to not do this unless you know Chinees Mandarin

1. Turn off your Acer Z2 (z120) Duo sim

2. when powered off hold the volume down button

3. while holding volume down press power button 5 sec till it vibrate

4. acer boot logo is shown still holding the volume down

5. Acer factory recovery or acer factory restore is shown you can release volume down.

Button Volume up/down move the highlighted up and down in the menu

Powerbutton does nothing. ( to get out of this menu select the last option in the list and touch the home button or pull battery )

on the front most right button or menu button does nothing on the first page of the menu.

on the front middle button or home button seems to apply as a enter.

on the front most left button or back button I'm not sure about this one yet.

To get out of the menu Select the lowest option and touch the home button.

It's interesting to be in this mode but it does not give root access to the file system just yet. We need to figure out if there is a option to

1. Change the language to anything but chinese ex. english, dutch, spanish, german, italian, french.

2. announce itself to the usb

3. backup the firmware

I'm very interested in rooting my Acer Z2 4.1.1 though i'm also happy with what it can already do for this price.

If you find something out keep us informed

Alternative

[MENTION=4675306]zangun[/MENTION] I just tried a app named " App2SD" And it tells me it's moving apps from internal memory to the sd card I've not extendedly tested it and have no proof it works ( YET )

About the menu

volume is item up/down

back is back

home = enter

menu = ???

power = ???

first menu item = Run Self test ( extended on all hardware )

2nd menu item = Some sort of test

3rd menu item = Single item Hardware test

4th menu item = Seems to reset to factory settings ( Apps lost, data loss )

5th menu item = Hard/software info

6th menu iitem = exit

after you enter a menu item a new menu apears not sure for all of them but here;s what i got so far

1st menu entered = * not tested yet *

2nd menu entered = * not tested yet *

3rd menu entered = 1st test item, 2nd hardware ok, 3rd hardware failed ( not know what the consequences are )

4th menu entered = nothing your resetting

5th menu entered = nothing just data shown scroll with volume button go back with back

6th menu entered = nothing exiting

also in Android there is an option in the settings to change the disk location. System -> Storage and there is an option SD so maybe it's build in.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zangun:
emm..maybe must explore more at the menu..maybe there's a build it option for us to set the setting of storage..i already try the app2sd apps but it must be root for the apps can move to sd card..right now if i move apps to sd card it only go for the internal memory..

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockstarSR:
I quite feel that the ambient light sensor/whatever you call it is not very intelligent for following issues:

1. Auto Screen Brightness: Screen remains too bright even in dark environments. Also, the screen flickers when adjusting its brightness :eek:

2. Soft buttons light: This is a widely known issue...Home and Back buttons dont light up even if its verryyyy dark! I sometimes put my finger on proximity sensor to manually trigger the lights! :silly:

3. Auto Flash in Camera: This is something I have not seen anyone commenting about. Yes, I agree that professional photographers avoid using flash as much as possible, but i feel the HTC One uses flash (when set to Auto) only when its pitch dark! In dark areas when One wouldn't use turn ON flash, the quality of pics was a million times better when I force enabled the flash!

All these are minor quirks but we face it every time we use the device, and hence are pretty annoying.

Is anyone else facing these issues?

Btw, I'm running the latest 29 firmware..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECEXCURSION:
My soft buttons work perfectly fine. There on right now and it's noon in my room.

Sent from my HTC One
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrybravo:
There might be something wrong with your light sensor, where it's detecting higher light levels than it should be. It shouldn't have to be really dark for your soft buttons to light up. On a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is a very dark room and 10 is a sunny day outside, your soft buttons should be lighting up at 3-4 or lower. If you're interested, here is the actual algorithm in the software code (arrays.xml inside of framework-res.apk) :

<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLevels">

<item>11</item>

<item>41</item>

<item>91</item>

<item>161</item>

<item>226</item>

<item>321</item>

<item>641</item>

<item>1281</item>

<item>2601</item>

</integer-array>

<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessButtonBacklightValues">

<item>255</item>

<item>255</item>

<item>255</item>

<item>255</item>

<item>-1</item>

<item>0</item>

<item>0</item>

<item>0</item>

<item>0</item>

<item>0</item>

</integer-array>

The first set of numbers above is the lux value (the ambient light level detected by the phone's sensor). The second set of numbers is the corresponding value assigned to the button lighting (255=on, 0=off). Using the above settings, when the lux value is 160 or lower, the buttons light up. A lux of 160 is roughly a medium-low lit room indoors. For example, in a somewhat dim room at night with a lamp in the far corner, your buttons should be lit up.

If your phone's sensor is incorrectly sensing that the surrounding environment is too bright, this will also cause your screen to be brighter than it should be (along with the buttons not being lit up). However I do agree with you that the default values for screen brightness are too high. I think HTC wants to impress us with a bright vibrant screen when we're looking at it in the store sitting next to a Galaxy S4. The default brightness values are:

<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues">

<item>39</item>

<item>56</item>

<item>56</item>

<item>90</item>

<item>125</item>

<item>142</item>

<item>170</item>

<item>199</item>

<item>227</item>

<item>255</item>

</integer-array>

Personally I set them to this:

<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues">

<item>39</item>

<item>39</item>

<item>45</item>

<item>80</item>

<item>100</item>

<item>100</item>

<item>150</item>

<item>150</item>

<item>227</item>

<item>255</item>

</integer-array>

This lowers the overall brightness in normal situations while still bringing the phone up to full brightness when outdoors. It also lowers the amount of up/down frequent brightness adjusting the phone does in situations where the lux value is fluctuating frequently on the edge between 2 adjacent values.

Only the top right part of the screen flickers when I hit the power button. The rest of the screen is a unresponsive mess of grey and white.

Things that i have tried from reading around the forums:

1. Hold power button down for 10 sec,30 sec and two minutes

2. Hold power button down till screen flickers, and then hold both lower page turn buttons for up to a minute.

3. Disassemble the NST, disconnect the battery for two hours and press the white reset button , reconnect the battery.
