[Sprint LG Optimus G] wolfgame:
While I congratulate you on your speedy replacement, you are in a small group. I've dealt with Asurion a number of times both with my own and with my clients' devices, and while I've had the rare rapid recovery, I've since changed my tune after having them basically tell me to go to hell when my Evo needed replacing a few years back after it was knocked out of my hand and on to the concrete, and I complained that a month-long turnaround was unacceptable. And eventually it took them two months to replace them phone. In the meantime, I went and paid full price for an Epic, which I eventually replaced with my LGOG a couple of years later, and sold the Epic and Evo on craigslist.

Consumerist has an interesting workaround for the iPhone that makes me wonder if we could do the same the with our phones (assuming you have renters/homeowners insurance). Unfortunately, I haven't posted enough to post the link, but if you google consumerist electronics insurance, you should be able to find it on the first page of results.

Status 7 means either your recovery is out of fate or you need to update your boot loader.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubb18:
First off I have searched repeatedly and cannot find someone with the same problem as me. So if there is point me in the right direction.

My Nexus 4 won't connect to a computer via USB, it will charge, but it treats it as if it were plugged into a AC adapter. my computer also does not recognize that there is something connected to it (no errors, no trying to install drivers, and no unknown devices in computer management).

I have tried:

Multiple USB cords

Multiple Computers

Multiple OS's

Multiple ROMs (it has an unlocked bootloader from when it worked)

Does anyone have any idea what's wrong with it? Or how it could possibly be fixed?

Thanks,

Matt

i had the exact same issue and was able to get it fixed by using a usb 2 into 1 cable. like the ones that come with an external portable cd writer. once it got recognized, i wiped completely and went back to stock and locked bootloader. problem has not come back since. it was probably a bad flash that caused the issue.

once you get it going again, get it rma exchanged just in case.

on your problem it can be because of the micro usb jack of the phone. if it gets charged it should get connected also.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infinitywithin1:
I am having the same problem. My Nexus 4 used to connect to computers just fine, but now it only charges from them. Like the OP I have tried many things:

Multiple USB cables

Multiple Ports on...

Multiple PCs running...

Windows 8 and 7

Debugging On or Off

MTP or PTP

Multiple versions of CyanogenMod

Factory Data Reset

Absolutely nothing lets my N4 connect to a computer (besides charge)

When I go to Settings>More...>Tethering, the USB Tethering option is grayed out and it says "USB not connected)

If anyone has the solution, please help.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt:
Hi,

Hold down your Power and both Volume buttons until the lights stop flashing and it turns off, try this under a bright light if it fails to work.

If neither works, plug into your PC and use

adb reboot

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xstop:
This a trick that has worked for me every time, with the Aroma freeze.

First hold down volume button, right after hold down the power button.

The Home and Back button will flash, count it to 12 times let go of power button and push it back in, while constantly holding the volume button down.

This should get you back to hboot. Hope this works for you, has always for me :)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skinsfanbdh:
just keep trying it and make sure your fingers are not covering the light sensor
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TarekElsakka:
There is only one solution that I read here which worked for me.

Hold the device under direct light (like from a strong bulb or something) and keep holding the power button, and the device will turn off. Afterwards, hold the power button as well as the Volume Down button and it will boot into bootloader.

I am not sure why that works, but it does. The sensors need to be receiving the light directly, I guess?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dodadent:
Worked...Thnks a lot

I use "Flashlight" from SGS3, and reboot for 5 sec...

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robobob1221:
EDIT: Turns out that my carrier has decided that it needs three apks for the dialer res, just found my other set of resources in another contacts.apk :rolleyes: Bloody carriers!!!

Hopefully someone can help me here.

I've been trying to edit the images for a personal theme, but I've come across a bit of a stumbling block in my Contacts.apk

The res images for the dialer in the contacts seem to not be present. I've compared to other SecContacts.apk and apparently my DcmContacts.apk (I have a docomo Note 2) doesn't have a /drawable-sw359dp-xhdpi/ that contains the images for the dialer background and such. However the dialer does have the stock touchwiz images for the dialer background and top/action bar. I cannot for the life of me find these images in any of the directories in the res folder of either my DcmContacts.apk or SecPhone_DCM.apk, I checked there just in case.

Now I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction, where would the apk be pulling the res images from, would I need to edit smali or have missed something completely, another apk or the like:confused:??

If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated. Thanks

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicetaco:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rirere:
Yes, it can be, so long as you're sideloading an appropriately signed APK (I'd suggest Android Police; they have a running list of them).

I hate to say this, but what exactly was the point of either of these posts? Neither answered the question (which takes about two seconds), and "sucks" is a huge matter of personal preference. Maybe OP happens to really like the new variants; either way, if Op wants to upgrade, that's their call.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
Nothing in your post says what rom you use, let alone how you installed google apps. So it really depends. For example if you installed Slimbean + SlimGapps for example, your play store among other apps from that package will not update because they are modified from the official source, so there is that factor to consider.

Did you mean it is working with the imate jam (magician)?

if yes,

did you pair the bluetooth gps with com5 (as outbound)?

then normal setting of navigon,

then work fine (it is not finding the bt gps at all) where other small navigation software finds it and work with but not the navigon,

ANY SPECIAL STEP YOU DID TO LET IT WORK OR WHAT?

please advise!

thanx in advance
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Guest:
maybe you should call the Navigon software vendor and ask why it does not work.

unless you did not bought the software of course, but you certainly are not a f**king hacker are you?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jacoch:
Yes. It is working with iMate Jam (well it's a Qtek S100 with french OS). Com5 in Navigon settings. GPS is an emtac. No problem. Most of the time, problems come from BT pairing. Does your GPS receiver comes with a test application (emtac provides one for example)?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] buthustamalus:
to mms72 :

i've read that the 4.2 doesn't work. Only the 4.01 does.

to jacoch :

Is it slooow or not ?

for example, when you don't follow the route, how long does it take to recalculate a new one (big delay or not) ?

thanks.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jacoch:
I've heard poeple in France saying it's quite slow to recalculate and almost unusable in cities. I have no problem on my side. It takes 1-2s to recalculate. But it seems to depend on the map density. I live in switzerland in a small city and the maps are probably simpler than the map of Paris or London.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Yoshi Joghurt:
Hi all,

I spend a lot of time to get MN4.2 working reliable. It depends on the protocol that your GPS is working with. As default for my RBT1000 was

GGA=1, GSA=1, GSV=5 RMC=1,GLL=0 and VTG=0. With this configuration the bluetooth connection will lost from time to time.

Now i have changed the protocol to GGA=1 and VTG=1. This combination works perfect for me. In some case (depends on your hardware) you need

GSA=1 also,

\\Yoshi
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] mms72:
thank you yoshi:

simple and small question:

How to change those protocls :oops: :roll: in my imate jam..
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Guest:
Hi,

It depends on your mouse how to change the protocolls.

In my case the mouse came with a special software to change the protokoll. You can also some special tools for that for example:

winfast navigator.

MN4.2 working great on my MDA compact with Fortuna Bluetooth GPS.

Mapfile > 330 MB! on 1 GB SD-Card.

Waiting for my 2GB Card to put the whole European map file on it. :-)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] sirox:
Excellent product!

Just purchased MN4.2 with Navigon's GPS receiver. Their own receiver is great because it has TMC reception for traffic updates.

The software runs really well, routes are very fast calculated, no problems at all.

I think this software is really nice, all completely usable without stylus using the d-pad, it might look less appealing than TomTom, but it is way more sophisticated, and the maps are much better quality.

On their website they offer a very attractive upgrade price from any competitive product.

Only issue I noticed so far is that when I miss a turn it is sometimes very fast in giving me another route, and sometimes it is slower, don't know why, but always acceptable.

The only problem is with voice guidance, as it sometimes speaks too late. Particularly when there are turnings one after the other (very close, say 20m), then the voice guidance is a bit slow. It is ok if I am driving slowly, otherwise it speaks too late.

Having a glimpse at the map display clarifies any doubt, so no big issue.

The software is also extremely stable, you can open and close hundreds times without any problem. In my case, everything is installed on SD Card.

For the bluetooth, I first paired using the OS bluetooth config screen, and then I opened MN4, and gave COM5 as the bluetooth port. If it doesn't work, you should restart the program after switching off and on the receiver.

By the way, I live in London.

When I will have more experience with the product, I'll post further impressions.

So im new here and to rooting and using custom ROMS and i completely dont know what to do lol i saw a ROM with the 4.1.2 Android which i want to install on my XPERIA E15i because most apps now require 2.2 OS and up while i have 2.1 update 1 or something lol...

Is my phone compatible with the rom from [ROM] MiniCM10-4.1.0 [15/3/13]JB 4.1.2/CM10 for the Χ8 thread?

model number: e15i

firmware version: 2.1-update1

badeband version: m76xx-tsncjolym-53404015

kernel version: 2.6.29 semcuser@semchost #1

build number: 2.1.1.A.0.6

I havent rooted or did anything to my phone its like it was when i bought it xD

I saw that i need to root my phone to install the rom which i can do by following a tutorial on the internet...

My baseband and build number are ok with the rom but it says i need a kernel with a higher version than what i have here is where i get lost lol im a noob with this things

Then it says i need to unlock my bootloader... again dont know how to do it lol

So if i understand correct i need to:

1. root

2. update kernel?

3. unlock bootloader?

4. apply rom

In this order?

If anybody got free time can he post a step by step tutorial on how i can apply that rom on my phone pls

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xWhiskey:
Nope.

Root the phone first, get some kind of a root browser, install xRecovery or CWM recovery, then use either to install a ROM of your choice. After you install it you can start experimenting with other things (or you can do it before, but why stay at 2.1?).

As the others already implied it, there are a thousand topics already covering this subject. Just search around, put some time into it. It's not going to be easy the first time, but after you're done you'll see it could have been done in ten minutes. And you cannot screw up the phone in the process if that's what worries you (however you can kill it by unlocking bootloader).

EDIT: Many ROMs can run on stock kernels, but I think 4.0+ ROMs all require custom kernels? Someone can reprimand me on this if I'm wrong. If that's the case, 2.2 or 2.3 is what you get.
