Try this...

http://hometown.aol.com/anyware/wce/MobileVault/download.htm

I had a very similar problem and this program was the only one that worked.

Before starting the steps below place your XDA in the cradle and wait for it to sync.

Steps;

1. Install attached software

2. Run MobileVault from 'Start > Programs > MobileVault > MobileVault'

3. Click on the'File' menu and then 'Open'

4. Browse to 'My documents' and select 'backup1.stg'

5. Once file has opened click on '+' next to the small computer icon in the left hand panel

6. Click on 'WinCE Databases' folder

7. Right click on the 'Appointments Database' in the right hand panel and select 'Restore to Desktop'. This will pop-up a window, select the desktop and then click 'Ok'

8. Repeat step 7 for the 'Contacts Database'

9. On your desktop a new folder will have been created called 'WinCE Databases'. There will be two files - send these both to me.

10. Repeat steps 7-8, but this time select 'Restore to Mobile Device'. In theory this should restore them to your pda.

If step 10 doesn't work, then;

11. Remove the xda from the cradle

12. On the xda, click on the start menu and select 'ActiveSync' (if its not in the menu it will be in the programs option)

13. Select the 'tools' menu at the bottom of the screen and then select 'Options...'

14. Click on the 'Options...' button, and untick the 'Enable PC sync using...' option beneth the 'When cradled' text.

15. Click on the 'Ok' to the top right of the screen, and then repear for the next screen, finish by clicking on the 'X'

16. Now place the XDA back in the cradle - it shouldn't sync now.

17. Repeat step 10, and see it it works. Fingers crossed!!

Good luck...

hey guys, i know this thread is old, however I need your advice for this problem. I have used Mobilevault in the past to restore my databases, however, when I tried to do this today, I encountered the application has been changed completely, not allowing me to do the restore. Am I right by saying there is no way to restore the databases? This would leave me really upset! Not everyone wants or is able to use Outlook to manage Contacts, so it really should be Microsofts duty to provide a solution regarding this.

I was able to get the international keyboard working on my VZW S4 with autocorrect (finally) working but noticed some lag with how fast the suggestions come up.

If I type too fast the suggestions would be behind just enough to autocorrect my words incorrectly. If I slowed down my typing the autocorrect works just fine.

Does this happen on the stock S4 ROM/keyboard?

So I'm stuck in a boot loop that appears to be caused by an app I recently installed. I found instructions to boot into "safe mode" ie no third party apps but it requires the phone to be booted to a rom.

Is there anyway to boot without third party apps from either TWRP?, Fastboot? or a button combination from phone off?

This seems like it should be easy but ATM it's not.

Thank you in advance.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lopezk38:
I don't think you can do much but nandroid backup, wipe all apps, and restore the good apps from the nandroid. If it's bootlooping, can't you just download the 4.2.2 image from Google and use fastboot to boot the the image (not flash. Boot), bypassing any system issues the app caused? Any app that creates a bootloop would have to modify system files wouldn't it?

I thought I would pass this on in case anyone else was having similar issues.

I was experiencing problems with very low mobile signal and flaky GPS. I was about to take my phone in for a warranty replacement but realized that my phone wasn't the problem.

I have an iBolt car dock that's been great. I recently purchased a new car charger from Monoprice with two outputs (1a/2a) to replace a charger that died. It occurred to me that my phone was fine when I wasn't in the car and testing confirmed that when I used the new charger, I had decreased signal and GPS would rarely lock on.

It's likely a combination of the increased output, a crappily shielded cable and the fact that the dock routes the cable parallel to the phone.

I hope that I can keep at least one of you from banging your head against a wall!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
There are cases with phones bricking due to crappy car chargers but I have yet to see an issue like this. I doubt the increased output would cause this as a few people have used 2a chargers without issue. Crappily shielded cable is probably the cause. I would avoid car chargers after reading some of the brickin stories on here D:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fleabeard:
It may not be the increased output, but it is definitely related to that charger. I have another charger that I can switch to and instantly see the signal and GPS return to normal.

I hate to bash Monoprice, everything I've bought from them has been inexpensive but good quality. That said, this is the charger http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=108&cp_id=10826&cs_id=1082603&p_id=10071&seq=1&format=2
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] machoman1337:
I am on the official CM10.1 RC2. I didn't flash anything else other than a fix for Wi-Fi ARP when in sleep mode, as well as an older radio to enable LTE.

What has been going on every since I flashed my first CM10.1 nightly (got the phone on May 2) is that every other time I wake the phone, the lockscreen widgets disappear.

This is a 100% predictable and totally consistent pattern. If I wake the phone and my lockscreen widgets are visible, then the next time I lock the phone and wake it, the lockscreen widgets disappear. If I wake the phone and my lockscreen widgets are missing, I can guarantee they'll come back if I immediately lock and wake it again.

I know it's not an Android 4.2 problem, because my sister's HTC One S doesn't have this issue and it's set up the same way.

To illustrate what I mean, these are the two states my lockscreen always alternates between:

Been trying to find an answer for this... maybe I'm not using the right keywords :/

EDIT: SOLVED - Turns out Lockscreen Policy was the culprit. I disabled both widgets and camera and that was causing cLock to disappear every other time. Allowing widgets while disabling the camera eliminated the problem. Hope this helps others in the future!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
Make sure you don't have two lockscreen clocks. If so, delete one.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] machoman1337:
I don't think I have two clocks. All I can find in the settings is the "Clock widget" in the Lock screen section which is what I want to use.

Any idea where I might have accidentally placed a second clock if that's the case? I didn't download any clock or calendar apps - I use the stock ones. I did restore a lot of stuff from Titanium backup on my old phone, but I clearly remember that system settings wasn't something I restored.

edit: I checked Titanium Backup and noticed that the "Clock" app (not the cLock app/widget) had been restored from my previous phone which ran CM10, not CM10.1. I remember that on CM10, the clock was right-justified, not centered, and that is what my 2nd screenshot (the scenario I want to get rid of) is showing.

Is it possible that I inadvertently restored the CM10 lockscreen clock from my old phone? I hope that doesn't mean having to wipe. I really can't find anything in the settings that might indicate the presence of more than one clock.

EDIT: SOLVED! It turns out that the Lockscreen Policy app was the culprit. I had disabled both widgets and the camera in Lockscreen Policy because I don't want people messing with my phone as a joke (otherwise what's the point of a PIN...). Re-enabling the widgets while keeping camera disabled solved everything. I confirmed that disabling widgets in Lockscreen Policy would immediately bring back this problem.

Tbh, I'd prefer having the old CM10 lockscreen, without those side widgets or the camera, and the ability to slide to a ring shortcut before bringing up the PIN

I cannot post directly on the guide because i've not 10 message, so i create this topic.

My troubleshooting starts when i decide to root my smartphone. I followed the guide but it not works properly for me. I've extracted scatter file with MTKdroidtool and then i use this scatter with the rom of Brunoand i put this in cellphone with Spflashtool, the programs says OK.

But when i try to start recovery mode comes only a white screen.

So i've tried with binary tool but it not works so i don't have superuser (for the program it's all ok), then :eek: i tried special mode of this tool (it is for tablet i've read), and when my android restart it was a semi resetted, i cannot install apps that i have also before the reset only newer apps. I cannot reset my phone with recovery(it no works) and with restore by settings (it not works).

So i tryed to put with flashtool original recovery of the link. IT NOT WORKS. aaa i'm going crazy

I have made before change recovery a backup but i don't know where is it on sd. What can i do????:laugh:

1)SuperCID

2)S-OFF

3)Did 'fastboot oem writecid HTC__001 ' to stop any bricks

4) run RUU

Now here's the question should I run the latest unbranded RUU ?

If so could you link me to it

And do I only need a locked Bootloader for the RUU to work or do I also need stock recovery ?

And would I receive OTA's quicker/earlier ?

Thanks
[HTC One S] real187:
there are numerous itterations of many situations. to much to list.

scrap root from the list.

supercid multiple situations, beter list CID, thats a better overall word since supercid is just a cid, you can ruu fine on original cid.

ad hboot version multiple situations

ad s-off/s-on multiple situations

I updated the info so it's easier that my old post and wil I reciever ota quicker

Download this one.

You need to flash stock recovery but it doesn't matter if you are locked/unlocked as you are s-off. If you flash this unlocked, you'll be still unlocked afterwards.

And will I be unbranded ?

And also will the Cid HTC__001 cause any brick or anything or issafe to go

It is running Gingerbread 2.3.7 via the T-Mod Express 3.2 Rom.

What would be a good rom for this. Basically good battery, Snappy and just MP3 playback

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] davidbar93:
Ok I found a really nice application that locks launcher in memory and stops the redraws in your launcher! We all know that Sony's launcher has many redraws and it is very annoying. So here it is ,Xposed Installer + App Settings ,the best combination to lock launcher + widgets in memory and stop redraws!

Xposed Framework download here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401

App Settings download here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2072081

Install Xposed Framework ,then install App Settings ,go to Xposed Installer and in the Tab called "modules" tick the App settings and reboot. After reboot open App Settings and search "home"(it's the name of Xperia Home launcher. If you are using another launcher ,search the name of your launcher) ,choose your launcher and swipe the button to turn it on and choose "resident" option. Save changes and go back to your home screen. It will restart the launcher and after that will lock you launcher in memory = no more redraws!!

Also you can resident your widgets like weather and tools ,just search widget instead home and repeat the steps above.

Good luck guys. Hit thanks if I helped you.

Well, I guess my choices are accept it for now, and save for a better phone, go for an iphone, go for a windows phone.

I've played around with an Xperia Z and gotten it to redraw the phone app screen. I'm sure the launcher redraws as well.

I reinstalled standard. 200, and had next to no redraws. It's also extremely smooth. And fast. I then installed the raptor ROM' but keeping the same kernel, and again no redraws at all. NP idea why it's gone from being terrible for redraws to no redraws. But I'm not complaining...

They do. I have a Nexus 4 with 2GB of RAM. The point is whether you have 512mb, 1gb, or 2gb of RAM, that's plenty of memory. You shouldn't be getting redraws left and right.

It didn't quite work... I would say it "helped". I still get re-draws... I think I am getting them less often though. Hopefully, that isn't just a placebo affect.

Keep in mind that the difference between radio on-off & flightmode is that with flightmode ALL radio's (GSM, BT) are switched off

Radio on-off only toggles the GSM Radio.

This is handy when during switching off-on (ie when you use a dual SIM)you want to maintain ie your BT GPS connection.

You are right. It did work after I reset the PPC. I guess I was too impatient. There is a very slight time lag after I push the button (althout less than a second) but I was not waiting long enough.
