Let me set the scene...

A month ago I enquire to buy a new XDA2s but I want it unlatched to all networks. After MUCH hassle and calls I am told they can do this for a £15 fee. I eventually go for it and then find that actually THEY REQUIRE a £15 fee AND my 12 months line rental up front. No problems so I go for it....takes me about three tries to find soneone who knows what I am talking about and get it sorted.

So - I receive the phone and all is well. I call up to pay for it and the money is taken. I also try to pay the 12 months - after a lot of hassle they take the 12 months money up front and all is well.

So - today I get my first bill, expecting it to be a big fat 0 as I have hardly used the O2 sim.

NOPE - there is the usual line rental about to be taken from my account.

Straight on the phone to customer services where they are also suprised. However, they *think* that the policy may be that there is a 12 months line rental AND the usual monthly line rental. However, if that is the case they are not sure what happens at the end of 12 months - do I get a 12 month refund!!!! Anyway - I am on hold for 5 mins whilst a manger is consulted. Finally told there is no manager around and they need to check the policy - will call me back tomorrow or Monday. I'll be amazed if they do!

Just wondering if any of the rest of you have had this?

What should I do - tell them to stuff it if they insist on 12 months + 12 months????? I have had the phone more than 2 weeks so the usual rejection is out.

Annoyed a lot - Rich

Here U GO Bam's Custom Kernel Choose the file u wanted an flash it in download mode using odin3 v1.85 ..... Bams Kernel Works With DDMF1 But i think it has little bugs in it
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ASMI1:
yes i'm already using the beta15 and it's working without problems:)

only one thing; my device sometimes reboot suddenly when the option "SD: Speed tweak" is enabled in "tweaks" app both on bam kernel and cf-root, maybe because i'm using a cheap sd card class 4 so if you faced this problem remember to disable the "SD: Speed tweak" option.

hope this was helpful:)

[HTC One X] RFPhotog:
Using a One X with Android 4.1.1 installed.

I've got an OTG USB cable and am able to use it to attache a USB thumb drive and access files on the drive.

When I connect a DSLR camera and try to use a camera controller app, the app doesn't recognise that a camera is connected. I've tried turning the camera on and off, I've tried disconnecting/reconnecting the OTG cable, I've tried disconnecting/reconnecting the camera USB cable from the OTG cable. No joy. The two camera controller apps I've tried are DSLR Dashboard and Helicon Remote.

Thoughts appreciated.

Thanks.
[HTC One X] lozbo:
Similar problem here, how did it work out? Using Asus Nexus 7, 2013 version, same apps (dashboard & helicon). The thing is that *sometimes* it works, sometimes it doesn't. I am almost sure its the cable, but I don't know. I have had it working a couple of times, though most of the time it doesn't recognize the camera. I know USB host works, because I have connected other things and even my Nikon is recognized sometimes..
[HTC One X] RFPhotog:
Sorry for the delay in responding. I don't have a problem with my Nexus 7 II. It will refuse to work sometimes but not enough that it's a problem and I can simply close the app and re-open. One thing I did find out is that if there is another app that uses USB host on the device and it was open prior, if it's not closed properly, it can cause a conflict. Do you have the Nexus Media Importer installed? If not, try that.

Try doing a factory-wipe from the recovery. If you have CWM recovery, wipe dalvik cache. A /cache wipe won't hurt either.

If after doing these, and rebooting your phone, you are still stuck, THEN think about ODIN.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolApps:
I was wondering if it will be safe if you update via OTA with a custom Open script Recovery such has TWRP would be safe, I do not want to get any issues while updating to Android 4.3 when it is available like soft bricking.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
You have to be stock to get the google updates. No custom recovery at all.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolApps:
Have you tested it?, I am not sure if it could be possible since TWRP is OpenScriptRecovery so the system should be able to just get the OTA update to flash like nothing is wrong or anything.

I can restore the stock recovery using the Nexus Toolkit.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
It is well known that it will not work on none official recoveries. It will also not work if you are rooted. There are threads around about this.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolApps:
What do you mean that it will not work if your rooted?, will it give you some error or something on the stock recovery?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Ok it seems it will flash but you will lose root.

Will OTA Rootkeeper help?, I have that installed just in case there is an update has I am fully aware that the update will replace the system partition.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
To be honest I have no idea as I never do OTA updates. No real point.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolApps:
Ok, I found a really useful thread though: http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one/282447-install-ota-update-twrp-recovery.html

Looks like that stock recovery is the first thing to do.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Even though that is for a different device and a completely different OTA set up. Being fully stock is always the best bet. Like I said I never do OTA and on a nexus it is almost completely pointless as the 4.3 update will be available in a flashable zip file with in a matter of hours in not less.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolApps:
So you can just flash the zip 100% on a custom recovery?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Yeah. Once the devs have gotten their hands on it there will be a rooted zip in a matter of hours of release that can be flashed like a normal custom rom
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolApps:
Awesome, I am just going to flash the stock recovery so when the update is available the data will not get wiped.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spaceman860:
If your using twrp v2.5.0.0 when we get the ota update you can use it to update and it will flash it fine it will also detect that you don't have root and will ask you if you want it restored :)

From my BLACKED OUT N4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolApps:
So the OTA update would just work?, all well I have the stock recovery flashed at the moment anyway so when the OTA updates stop I will flash the recovery back and then install a custom rom with 4G and USB Host supported also having all the good tweaks like the camera tweak.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sordna:
I had CWM on my rooted Nexus 4, and the OTA for android 4.3 came along, and worked fine! Android asked to reboot to install the update, so I agreed, and the reboot loaded CWM which flashed the update. I lost root however, but it was easy to put back.

Has anyone done the OTA to 4.3 while having TWRP recovery? I wonder which of the two recoveries is better at handling OTA updates ... some folks say never attempt OTA with a custom recovery, but CWM has always handled it fine on my Nexus 4 (I've done different over-the-air updates around 3 times now).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjc123:
I am also interested about doing an update to 4.3 with everything stock except for TWRP, and am waiting to hear other people experiences before I try it. I see that the following shows one recommended method (Scenario #2), although I am not sure exactly how to do it. I am curious as to why this is any different than doing it OTA:

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2145848
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sordna:
From what I am reading now, it's going to work. You will loose root and might loose TWRP, but if you have unlocked bootloader you can flash them both again. I'd say go ahead and let us know if you lost both root and TWRP or just root.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjc123:
Actually, what I am reading now from a lot of people is that it is not necessary to download the file, and just do the OTA, as there is no difference. If I were to lose TWRP it is an easy enough process to get it back. As far as rooting, I am waiting for Koush to upgrade his superuser app, as I switched from SuperSU a while back (Both developers are having a tough time with 4.3). I am also waiting for things to settle down with all the 4.3 bugs and app upgrades. Maybe in a few weeks; there is just way too many issues.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sordna:
No need to wait, you can switch back to SuperSU, the latest version (1.51) has been working perfectly with 4.3 for me.

BTW I just installed BootUnlocker for nexus devices, a great app that can lock/unlock your boot loader from within android without wiping your data!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jwiltse:
I've looked at over 30 different posts on this site and other sites on this topic and tried several things, but nothing is working so I'm hoping someone can take this noob under their wing to try to walk me through restoring my Razr Maxx. Many of the posts I tried had broken links to files or other issues.

I rooted the phone but was unsuccessful in loading a bootloader. The phone goes to the "Encryption unsuccessful" screen on boot up. "Reset phone" does not work. I can get into AP Fastboot fine.

I installed the Google USB drivers and Moto drivers from the SDK. Downloaded and ran Motohelper.

Installed RSD Lite 5.7 but it does not recognize the phone, even when the phone is in Fastboot mode and plugged in via USB. The phone indicates "USB Connected" but RSD doesn't show the phone.

I downloaded VRZ_XT912_6.5.1-73_DHD-11_TA-3_1FF_02.xml.zip

I have no idea what to do now.

Please keep in mind, I'm a total noobie, so very explicit instructions would be a GREAT HELP! Links to other threads that don't really address my particular situation or that have old broken links will not really help.

Thanks!

[General Questions and Answers] koolbrader:
I Just bought a new china phone called iOcean X7 Elite and it's wonderful! I love it! But I have this funny problem where when I open the play store it would start having random ghost touches all over the place until I close the play store. This only happens when I open the play store! How can I fix this?

What I've done:

1) Googled about it. Can't find anything about ghost touch on a specific app.

2) No mention of this on any other iOcean phones but I have 2 phones and it happens on both

3) Found a workaround to install apps. Google the app, click the link and open with play store. That way I can open play store without ghost touch until I go to the main menu then only the ghost touches will start again.

4) I tried reinstalling the latest gapps (I'm on Android 4.2.1 btw) and it still has the same problem.

5) Tried to force 2D rendering because I read somewhere that that helped get rid of ghost touches but nothing.

Can anybody help me with this please? It's not really a big issue because I have a workaround but it is annoying!!

Mine does it as well. Good phone but this is so annoying.

Short term fix is /settings./ apps/ Google play/ uninstall updates.

Let's you access apps in the old play store for a while but Google play auto updates after a few minutes. Tried all sorts to prevent it

Auto updating but no luck yet.

Think it must be a glitch in the ROM cos mine came pre rooted so the ROM has been tweaked

Somewhere along the line. Hope this helps. Colin.
