[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Jeefff:
Hi.

I have a Xperia E C1505 SS with stock rom. When i open the notification panel, i see this.

Is there a way to replace the 'Settings' icon to the GPS icon? Or just add the GPS icon behind the Settings icon?

I think i have to edit the SystemUI.apk, but i don't know how.

Can anybody help me with that?
[HTC Incredible S] sethjustseth:
Hello, in your experiences, what is the best rom to have maximum battery life. I have only used the stock ice cream sandwich which was great in that regard, and the Cyan Vivo 10.1. On the 10.1 I use greenify and I have tried different governors, but still the battert life isn't as good as the stock rom was. What roms can you recommend if battery life is a top priority?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
It has been my experience that 'battery life' is one of those perception issue.

IMHO only you can tell if a ROM has good battery life based on your usage of the phone. You've tried 2, so you are on your way to answering your own question.

Hi,

I'm currently using the MDA Compact on T-Mobile

R 1.00.10

G 1337.36

D 1.01.00WWE

What is the latest ROM version?

Is it worth upgrading to a different ROM?

What are the benefits?

I know that some would say that if you're happy with what you've got why upgrade but i would like to know if there are new features or performance improvements etc

many thanks in advance
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] jfran:
you are using the latest rom for the UK MDA Compact, which is fairly stable, however the later roms being used by others have slightly improved audio performance, stability and an imporved bluetooth stack.

if you are happy with the existing rom, I would stick with it for now.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Jainoxi:
I would defenately try to upgrade to a 1.11 WWE or UK version, it will bring you more stability, more features, better and fast bluetooth, better soundquality, less need for soft-reset, better bluetooth and much more... I'm running on 1.11 WWE for a month now, and it's a breeze compared to the older versions...

Hey guyz,

Could you help me please? I have ZTE Blade TFT phone with 2 gen ROM.

Unfortunatly hardware buttons are not working and can't be repaired. After flashing new ROM my phone is stuck on Android logo.

I have CWM installed, but unfortunatly I can't perform hard reset due the broken buttons.

I can't reflash it via other method as well, cause factory recovery is replaced by CWM.

I can't use a TPT method as menu button is not working as well.

Could you please recommend me any method to recover my phone?

Any feedback is welcome!

Kostiantyn
[Blade General] kevinrus123:
Okay dude keep calm maybe your phone is still alive.

Check:

-Do you can enter FTM Mode?

-When you put the device @ charging , does it show a charging animation?

If so or not , pull out battery out of device for 4-5 hours (!) , then put battery back in and try to go in recovery! Maybe then it will go ... If you need to put another ROM to device , just 'Mount and Storage" -> "Mount USB Storage" -> connect phone via USB to Computer and you are able to put another ROM to sdcard.

When you install new ROM

-2x Wipe Data&Factory Reset

-2x Wipe Cache

-2x Wipe Dalvik (under 'Advanced')

-Not needed but you can Wipe Battery Stats

-Install .zip from sdcard

-choose .zip from sdcard

-choose ROM , install and reboot.

I hope it helped! :)
[Blade General] Lightingrain:
Hi,

Thanks for assistance! Recovery is already installed. I'm not able to wipe data and cache due broken hardware buttons. Still don't have solution.
[Blade General] kevinrus123:
Flash this via Fastboot

This recovery is CWM touch recovery for Zte Blade. Name it 'recovery.img' and fastboot it.
[Blade General] Lightingrain:
Thanks for advice.

This methods doesn't work for me as well. It progresses beyond the green android and load ROM logo.
[Blade General] kevinrus123:
To get in fastboot you have to hold the vol up key for around second and then press power on while holding vol up. I mean you shouldn't hold the two buttons at same time to power up.

1. Hold Vol Up key

2.While holding vol up , wait 3 seconds

3 While holding vol up , press power on now. At least you hold two buttons.

4.You should now be in fastboot mode.
[Blade General] Lightingrain:

It doesn't work for me. I tried several times. ROM logo appeared after android one
[Blade General] kevinrus123:
Do you can enter bootloader mode?

[HTC Sensation] mama_mia:
Hello,

As you should have noticed the sound is recorded with to high gain on camcorder.

I want to ask if anyone was able to fix this.

Every time I use the camcorder to record something noisy, like a concert or something, it gets impossible to understand the music because the camera records with to much gain.

Is there any way to reduce that gain, or some way to cover the camcorder microphones in order to record with a lower volume??

This happens with every ROM I tried, so I think it's an hardware problem and not a ROM's problem.

Did anyone tried to fix that and wants to share how to do it?!?!

Thank you
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliendna99:
anyone else has this issue?

clearing data/cache doesnt help

i even reinstalled and formatted everything last night over another issue, so its not the problem.

A. Is it an issue with the 4.1.10 play store? cus I installed it over stock 4.1.6

B. Is it an issue with the modded multi DPI play store?

this is the only thing i can think of that has modified play store
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorry_driver:
I have the same issue that started yesterday. I tried accessing Play Store on my GS4 (with Omega ROM 7.0) over wifi and the connection always times out. I tried everything short of a factory reset:

force stopped & cleared Google Play cache

force stopped & cleared Play services cache and data

checked date & time

changed Google password

added new Google account

deleted hosts file & rebooted

Funny thing is, Play Store works fine on my 4G connection but not over wifi. I also tried connecting on my unmodified Nexus 7, also no Play Store. Wifi internet on both my devices works perfectly. Both versions are 4.1.6 and can't update it over wifi.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarantula78:
Hi all,

I bought a Samsung GT I9500 and I noticed that whenever I put an application such as an LED Flash Light or LED Flash Notifications (like flash blink) for some reason or other it slows the whole phone down it practically freezes up entirely and after a long wait the flash finally comes on. This only happens the first time if I was to put the flash off and on continuously it would be a bit snappier but would still be noticeably lagging. This doesnt happen with the camera btw when taking pictures the flash works just fine. It only seems to be occuring like this when another application is involved.

The phone is still under warranty do you think I should ask for a change of phone or do you think its a ROM issue? Although it is occuring with both stock and modified roms (im using WANAM rom).

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captaineos:
I work nights so I rely on the torch in my phone for all kinds of things. The SOLE reason why I cant use custom kernals is my ultra bright torch app crashes on anything but stock kernal.

This is your answer - flash the repackaged stock kernal from Wanam and it should be much better. I had the exact problem you did an now its fine.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarantula78:
Hi thanks for your reply,

I reflashed the repackaged kernel but the flash blink application keeps lagging or in some cases it doesn't flash at all probably because it takes too long for the flash to start up only the camera application works flawlessly with the flash so far. Any other suggestions guys? Or perhaps a problem with the handset?

CWM

Backup:

1. Reboot into recovery

2. Select "backup and restore"

3. Select "backup" or "backup to external sdcard" depending on where you want your backup saved (recommended to keep at least one backup, preferably stock, on the internal sdcard in case of external sdcard malfunction)

4. Select "Reboot now" to reboot the phone

*note: the backup can be found in the "clockworkmod" folder (either on internal sdcard or external depending on chosen save location) where you can rename the backup to something you will remember rather then a series of numbers. DO NOT INCLUDE SPACES WHEN RENAMING! including spaces in the backup name will cause you to get the MD5-mismatch error when trying to restore the backup at a later time*

TWRP

1. power phone off

2. boot into recovery by holding the home + volume up + power; when phone vibrates release the POWER button only and continue holding home and volume up till recovery screen loads

3. Select backup

4 select back to "external sd card" or "backup

5. enable compression and change name of your backup if you like (gives you smaller backup sizes)

6. swipe the arrow bar and let the backup process run
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ophirb:

I know how to use cwm and twrp to create a nandroid backup, but i need to flash them first and so the rom is not stock anymore. Does a stock rom comes with cwm or twrp - No, so after i flash cwm or twrp it is not stock anymore.

I guess what you are saying is that tgere is no way of backing up a FULLY stock rom. Correct?

Thanks.

A nandroid does not take the recovery into consideration.

[HTC One X] A Random User:
Hey, a few days ago I suddenly had no signal when I tried to call somebody. I was on cm-10.1.0-RC5 and am now on cm-10.1.2 ( I thought that that maybe would help). I reseted my phone and took the sim card out but nothing happened. When I tried to access contacts my phone crashes, when I try to access emergency call my phone goes back to the cyanogenmod boot logo and when I go to settings>about phone>status com.android.phone crashes. If my phone is on and I pull the sim out the phone doesn't notice anything.

If I put my microsim in the normal sim slot of my dad's phone and allign the contact points it doesn't see my sim but that could be because it doesn't connect correct (I do not have any other phone with a microsim slot and no other microsims but I am going to try cut an old sim of my). If you need some more info ask it, already thanks for your help.

I now bought a new SIM card but noting happens so it's is my software or hardware
[HTC One X] cabasse_tronic:
it's hardware.. you have to disassamble it and see on the sim reader that there is a piece of metal that closes a circuit.. if you get the sim out of the phone and it dosen't open the circuit the phone will not know that the sim is pulled out.. you can fix it with a 10-15 euro (depending of the country that you live in)..
[HTC One X] gffmac:
When you went from cm 10.1.0-RC5 to 10.1.2 did you do a full wipe in recovery or was it a straight install over the old system?
[HTC One X] Tigerlight:
More than a few people have reported that the SIM tray and the card in it can lose contact inside the phone.

Put a piece of paper or card inside the SIM tray to push the card higher and see if that restores contact.
[HTC One X] A Random User:
Straight install over the old system
[HTC One X] A Random User:
I have done this but the sim is still not being seen by the phone...
[HTC One X] A Random User:
So what would I ask to fix if they could replace the piece of metal that closes the sim circuit?
[HTC One X] gffmac:
In that case I would at least try a clean install, wipe/factory reset in recovery, backup first if needs be.

Wipe and install new rom then flash the kernel from the new rom version just in case.
[HTC One X] A Random User:
I understand but the problem was already before I updated. I just tried updating because it maybe could help and it crashed when I tried to acces status but this was already before I updated
[HTC One X] gffmac:
Well I would try a complete new sense rom, with sense kernel doing a full wipe before hand. If no joy than I would if not under warranty take the case off and checkout the connections, maybe insert sim with case off to ensure a connections is being made.
[HTC One X] A Random User:
A new problem...

****, I ****ed it up I think. So I decided to that but I have a new computer so I had to install everything again and was totally forgotten what you had to do. Anyway I followed tutorial and it was very clear and everything had a few minor issues with understanding but it I thought all was doing fine. In this whole process I had almost the entire time my phone plugged in (my computer) in fastboot and I think sorry for my noobishness that in that timemy battery drained or something. Okay so I relocked my phone so I can do the thingie with the ruu but I thought maybe (dont ask me why I thought of this now) too first just do a factory reset and put a fresh version of cm on it. I before noticed that there was a *security warning* but I skipped it kinda. Point is that when I tried to unlock my bootloader again to do that ,because I was thinking that if I locked my bootloader cm wouldt work, I got this ( I used a tool that I also used when I first rooted my one x)

sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB).

OKAY [ 0.013s]

writing 'unlocktoken'...

FAILED (remote: battery low)

finished. total time: 0.228s

And there you see battery low. Most of the time I had my HOX connected to my pc but like I said maybe the phone (I dont know of there is a simple reason for this but anyway) drained because he was in fastboot usb. When I started my phone was around 60% and I know 100% is ofcourse the best but I wanted to fix it.

Okay, maybe some of you already saw it coming but I can't control the menu anymore. This isnt really a problem cause I could just reboot it but I think the phone cant boot with a custom rom and a locked bootloader that seems kinda logical. So now I put my phone just in the adapter and just wait in the hope that it recharges but I cant see this... Maybe someone knows how to fix this? If nobody replies between now and tomorrow, I will make a new thread because this ofcourse another problem but this is easier ofcourse.

Okay so I was freaking out again cause I didnt know my pin cause I never put it there cause you know the original issue.

But being the 1st capable Android phone I've acquired, especially given how my bought-and-sold HTC Dream and Moto Milestone performed, Epic is always to stay beside my pillow for bedtime TWRP fun! :D Sure hope that would be how most E4Gs end their life...

And as of now, to be off-topic, T-Mo's Relay 4G is Epic's proper GSM sequel (current wishlist #1). While on Sprint there's only the Photon Q, and Verizon the age-old Droid 4. Again, so lucky of us to have one of the first (after HTC Dream, of course) 5-row QWERTY Android phone!
