[HTC One X+] AndroHero:
When using a wifi file explorer, people can only access your device if they are connected to your network, and they know the port you have chosen....
[HTC One X+] cpu2007:
but that seems to require the host device connecting to the internet, which is not what I'm looking for.

What I am basically looking for is the possibility to transfer files across devices via wireless but without connecting to the internet.

Similar to bluethoot where transfer is direct and it doesn't go through a router/network etc.

So

Host device turns on its wireless

Client device can connect to the host device wireless(like hotspot but directly ,not through internet) and access files or transfer back and forth.

Sorry to bump an old thread, But I was wondering if you found an answer to this? I am also looking to increase the character count. Seems very limited. I want a message that will inform potential thieves that may find my phone that their fingerprint has been captured and so has their face from front facing camera and has been uploaded to a server already and provide them with a contact number for return with a reward.

I mean if I picked up a phone and that was the first thing I read on a locked screen boy would I return it quick smart. I would return it anyway, as I know how valuable someones phone data can be to people.

I just want some of the less "legit" people around to follow the same protocol :angel: as I would...and what better way to do this than with a subtle message that is "more encouraging"
[Motorola Atrix 2] romquestion567:
Sorry for my English

I was using official JB Leak for a while. In this ROM, I can easily enable "wake up screen by volume key" and " lock screen by search button(long press) functions in the setting. However, recently, I have flashed a CM10.1 custom ROM and I couldn't find the similar setting.

I have already tried many apps on the play store but it sounds doesn't work. I also found that I can edit the qwerty.kl files to enable the functions, but there are too many versions and i don't know which one is suitable for my Atrix2. Could anyone help me, I really don't like pressing power button.
[Motorola Atrix 2] MotoMudder77:
Flash AOKP or PACman.

I know those have the settings.

Theres a little more to it than just adding a few lines in a file.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] comoc85:
Hello all. I wanted to get a good straight forward answer on this as I have had people ask me this already. I just flashed a Google Edition rom on my T-Mobile S4. I am loving it so far, but I'm curious about future releases. Am I correct in saying that any future releases ( like 4.3 or 5.0) will not work without a kernel specific to our device? Will it have partial functionality? Does it really just depend on how these new versions are built? A little clarity from the experts would be greatly appreciated!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bpavlakis:
Pretty much any ROM requires device specific kernels.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aghilvr:
Hi,

Last night i was playing with my N4 (with some root applications) and an app asked for a reboot. I just pressed yes so that the phone will reboot (I have done this earlier without any issues). Suddenly the device doesn't boot up. My N4 is stuck at a black screen. While trying to boot up, the Google logo appears and then a black screen. It doesn't advance to the 'X' logo. I'm running on stock, rooted phone (used N4 toolkit by Wugfresh to root).

I'm able to boot into recovery although. I tried all the possible means, wiped cache, dalvik cache, did a factory reset, backed up the system and tried to restore the same. Nothing happened.

Then i tried the "Back to Stock" option in the N4 toolkit and chose the option "Soft-brick/Bootloop" to recover my N4. These are what happened:

Downloaded the 4.2.2 image from Google servers and tried to flash in the device with prior instruction from the toolkit. Everything went fine until the flashing process. In the last step the CMD window opens up saying it is unrooting and flashing stock and immediately it'll bring up a complete message saying the flashing is complete and to wait until the device boots up. But nothing happens again.

I tried the automatic flashing and on the downloading window it saying download failed and hash checks failed meaning its not downloading.

I searched all the possible threads in a day to find a similar problem but in vain. I'm not a noob but i'm too lazy :( . But i would do anything to bring my N4 back to life. Anyone please show me a direction.

In short:

Status: Soft-Bricked (guess so), black screen after Google logo

Version: Stock 4.2.2 (rooted+busybox+supersu+twrp)

Able to boot to recovering: Yes, bootable to recovery and bootloader.

Tried Nexus toolkit recovery: Yes but in vain.

Gave up: No and never, I'm searching and searching for answers and I'm worried if I'll end up in a hard brick. :crying:

Guys, please help.

Thank You!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ameinild:
I'm just taking a wild guess here - I'm not responsible if anything bad happens, and you might want to wait to someone else seconds my suggestion in any case (although I can't imagine things getting worse as long as you flash N4 stuff). :) But have you tried flashing a new boot.img/reset kernel from recovery or via fastboot/toolkit?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aghilvr:
Err...nope I haven't tried any and will wait until someone seconds you. Meanwhile I have wiped off the ROM through the option in recovery. Still will I be able to do what you said? Also if could direct me to a "how-to" thread would be great. Just that I don't wanna mess up again.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aghilvr:
Also, is there a way to transfer a ROM to N4 through fastboot? So that I can install the ROM through TWRP.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ameinild:
No, my suggestion would require that the ROM is still on the phone, so you should restore your ROM prior to my suggestion. And I'm by no means an expert (therefore the disclaimer), but I *think* that since it's a bootup problem, it could be solved by flashing a new boot.img (which is essentially flashing a new kernel to the system).

But yeah, let's see if others think this might help, haven't researched it, is at work right now. Just throwing in a suggestion, that's all... :)

I *think* (again, I'm totally not sure about this, as I haven't tried it) that you can sideload a ROM via zip file from recovery, but since I haven't tried it I'm not sure - can anybody confirm??? :confused:

EDIT: Chromium's suggestion is better, by pushing the ROM.zip to the device and flashing from recovery (check md5 first, just in case).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
Yes there is. Your nexus is not bricked and this is why you shouldnt use toolkits to do things. This is honestly an extremely easy and simple fix. Use adb to push a rom onto the n4.

adb push \path\to\rom.zip /sdcard

Boot into recovery, do a full wipe, and flash the rom.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex240188:
You said you downloaded the Google images.

Just boot your phone into the bootloader and run the flashall.bat that is in the Google image folder.

Note this will probably fully wipe you're phone in the process

That same thing happened to me once. I had to extract the google file and look for the 4 img files(bootloader, system, userdata, recovery) and flash them with toolkit manually and it fixed it, but it erased everything on my sd
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aghilvr:
I tried to load the file "occam-jdq39-factory-345dc199.tar" into my phone using the ADB sideload feature in the toolkit. I don't have the SDK installed hence I depended the tool again. But now the tool only loads .zip file and not .tar as the one that i downloaded. Am I doing it right?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
K if you have a custom recovery installed, there isnt much you need to do to fix the issue.

First setup adb/fastboot by reading this

Then boot the phone into recovery, and plug it into the computer. Open a new command prompt window and use adb like this:

adb push \path\to\rom.zip /sdcard

Then you can unplug the phone. From recovery go to the install menu, find the rom that you just pushed, and flash it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aghilvr:
Okay, installing the SDK. And the command saying "rom.zip", the file that I have is like "rom.tar". Does it matter? I downloaded the rom from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chromium:
No the tar wont work through recovery. You should download a rom from here or here.

If you want to flash the stock rom through recovery you can download it here.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aghilvr:
Oh that's why it didn't work all the time :mad:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] shreyas.kukde:
I had earlier introduced two mods for droid razr for transparent statusbar and sense 4 styled multi tasking. Today I want to introduce to a multi mods pack I created which combines a total of 5 mods which includes :

Transparent statusbar (70% transparency)

Centered clock

HTC Sense 4 styled multitasking

Statusbar clock with seconds

Data traffic meter on statusbar

A reasonable amount of time and patience had been invested while making things. There were lots of XMLs to edit and many smalis to play with. The outcome is what you guys are seeing. So head to the post and hit the download link.

NOTE:

Safestrap users! Mount /system partition before flashing the zip package.

If you are not able to boot after flashing, just fix permissions and you'll be good to go!

Just want to know which of you are the lucky ones who don't experience the static that many of us are reporting when using their bluetooth headsets? What bluetooth/ROM/Radio/ExtROM version are you using?

I'm getting static on my bluespoon ax but my hp headphones work crystal clear. I know my headset is performing bad on the blue angel because I've tried it on a magician where it performs crystal clear.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] HappyGoat:
From what I have been reading (and experiencing), the Blue Angel has some probs with BT headphones...this apparently has to do with the BT Stack that you have in your device.

I have an IMATE PDA2K, and upgraded the stack from 3500 to 3900, and ran the BT patch after that. Although there are still some static when I am more than 1 meters away from my device, the quality is better.

Hope this helps.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defsix:
It's half and inch smaller than a 7" tablet , so the device is the same size approximatly the same size as the Nexus 7 screen. Your logic is a little flawed.

This device is a 7" Tablet competitor.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stiffi2011:
It is. The only problem with that is most phone functions still require the device to be held in Portrait. LIke the dialer for instance. With a device this big, however, it becomes impossible to hold Portrait with one hand (Unless you are Lebron James).

I had a Huawei Ascend Mate, and it just would not fit in my hand in Portait. More than 1/2 of the body was above my fingertips making it dangerous to hold. It kept leaning forward, about to fall out of my hand.

Now, if you accept it as a Tablet, and just know that you will pretty much NEVER be able to use it with one hand, I guess you would enjoy it. Just give up all those things you are accustomed to doing with your phone with one hand. You know, like calling people!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defsix:
I stand under you completely, (My Z dialer works in landscape BTW) , I think even Sony see this issue with the Z Ultra too, that is why it is been advertised with the SBH52 Headset/Mini Phone . Sometimes even the Z is a little too big for my liking, it doesn't fit on some of my pockets when i sit down etc., there is no chance an Ultra Z is going to fit :D

But it still looks an incredible device, i'm sure there is a market for it if they made it !
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DashHax:
Sheesh... calm down. Not everyone have small hands. It's completely possible to hold it in portrait by using one hand. I got Galaxy Note 2 and I could easily hold it in one hand and when I rest it in my palm, it fit with big room to spare, enough room for me to fit my WT19i device. It's all about user preferences. Some people like small phone, but some like me like big phones. Just stop bashing this phone because of its size, okay?
