Hi,

One of the two touch buttons is causing problems on my phone. The light gets turned off (i.e. Its acting as if I am pressing that touch key but am not) and hence my touch screen stops responding. My phone is out of warranty and It didn't fall on ground/into water for such error to take place.

Please suggest something.

Thanks in anticipation.

what rom/kernel are you using?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zacnking:
As many of us are aware 4.3 android just was released. What are your thoughts on it and what it has to offer. What ROMs if any use it and what has been your experience? Honestly I don't think its had any roms with it yet but I can't wait.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] decayer177:
There are only a handful of "functional" 4.3 roms, but not for us unfortunately. I hope we get it, but at least we have Cyanogenmod? as a secondary option. One of the features I think is cool is how you can restrict which apps other users of your phone/tablet can access.

Saw this link earlier if anybody is interested in trying out the new "minimalist" camera for the Moto X. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm just assuming it will work with the M.

EDIT: Having trouble getting it to install, so if anybody is able to install it successfully, please post what you did.
[Droid RAZR M Themes and Apps] netizenmt:
All I did was download and install it. Works great with Illusion ROM.
[Droid RAZR M Themes and Apps] Jersey846:
Once I hit install and accept permissions I just get a "Not Installed" notification.
[Droid RAZR M Themes and Apps] netizenmt:
The instructions said to freeze your existing camera. I didn't need to with Illusion, but maybe you do with your AOKP install.
[Droid RAZR M Themes and Apps] Jersey846:
Yeah I did that but there is still some conflict. Anyway, how do you like the camera?
[Droid RAZR M Themes and Apps] Hell-Intimidator:
Installed just fine with PacMan rom and got 3 Camera apk. Haha! Work great! Only thing I'm unsure if it's focus property because I usually tap the screen to focus then take a picture with power button. But this one will take a picture if you tap.
[Droid RAZR M Themes and Apps] jbaumert:
The new camera has an interesting "minimalist" UI. I'd prefer a few more options myself.
[Droid RAZR M Themes and Apps] Leraeniesh:
Agreed. I do like how when you rotate, it only rotates the buttons instead of the whole application (one of the features in 4.3)
[Droid RAZR M Themes and Apps] netizenmt:
I like it, but I need to use it a bit more to give a real review or opinion. Nice with the KLP theme I'm using with Illusion.
[Droid RAZR M Themes and Apps] Jersey846:
If I can get it to install eventually I'll give it a shot. I don't know if this would help, but if somebody could make a backup of it in Titanium and send it to me, maybe I can "restore" that way.
[Droid RAZR M Themes and Apps] ShadowRAZR:
Make a backup of your gallery with TB and than uninstall it. Than try to install the camera. That should work

Hey,

I have been using viber since long on my GT-N7000. I changed my rom from CM10.1 back to factory firmware and everything was running fine. However, from past few days i have been facing problem with Viber. My phone really gets slow and viber drops calls automatically, the screen goes blank and viber remain not responding ..

My phone is working fine which includes all the apps and games like asphalt 7 etc

Can anyone help me fixing this issue please ?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treacherous_hawk:
when i say clean install i mean, do factory reset in recovery, wipe /system /data /preload /cache /dalvik cache boot into download mode, connect to pc , open pc odin and flash stock rom again.

will do that and post reply
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
Urm, that's pretty drastic isn't it? One program not responding to reflash the entire os?

Personally I'd start by clearing the programs cache and data, then uninstall it, go to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik, reboot and reinstall viber.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viber Team:
Hi,

I'm an official rep. from Viber here in XDA.

[MENTION=4804624]Amm31c[/MENTION] -

The source of the problem here could greatly vary. It could be that there is another app colliding with Viber, for example, or the effect of your Custom ROM on Viber.

Please note that at this stage we don't officially support custom ROMs with Viber. Running Viber on a custom ROM results in various side effects (sometimes total lack of functionality), but we can't afford to support all custom ROMs out there. We are continuously working to adapt Viber to more and more ROMS, but meanwhile - you might want to contact the ROM developer for further support - they may be able to resolve this issue. In addition, it would be a good idea to test Viber on Stock ROM on that same phone, in order to see if that indeed is the source of the problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amm31c:
Thank you very much for replying me .. to clarify i am not using custom Rom.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viber Team:
Have you tried testing Viber after a clean flash, as suggested by a user above? (of course, we can't officially recommend this)

How was Viber's performance in that case?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amm31c:
Will do it today
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treacherous_hawk:
just read again, previously i thought it was the UI which was crashing after viber goes not responding. but still coming from custom back to stock, i am sure he did not do a clean install, else he would have known what i was talking about.

Viber crashing on Galaxy S4

I have similar issue with viber on my galaxy s4 for past good month or so.

Some of the annoying issues I am facing are:

- Screen hangs during the call or while incoming call.

- keeps crashing during the call.

- cannot end a call at all.

- when i place the handset near to ear the screen the screen goes off and never comes back.

I stupidly accepted the latest 78 update and am now stuck with a locked bootloader. I'm working on rooting my phone now (thanks to the guys @ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2379833) but am left with a question... can I load a custom ROM, say CM10.1, with just root?

Is there any utility out there to unlock the bootloader, or a way for me to downgrade from the current baseband I'm at now?

Thanks.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antp121:
No. You need to be unlocked so you can install a custom recovery. That being said, you may be able to unlock the bootloader if you can root it.

I did get the phone eventually rooted. I found an old thread that showed how you can use SafeStrap (basically a wrapper around the original stock ROM) to install other custom ROMs with... is this a safe bet? I still have a locked bootloader as I took the new update... tried motopocalypse and it came up with the error code -11.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandon71:
The thing about Safestrap is it don't flash the kernel when you try to flash a 4.2.2 rom so when you try to flash it keeps your stock kernel with a custom rom and it don't work out well

Flashing stock based ROMs with ss is fine though it's how we used to do it haha
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jeffrimerman:
my touch screen about a third the way from the bottom isn't working. It's where the 4 5 and 6 phone buttons are. If I move an app icon around it always drops because it things my finger pulled away right at the same points. It's a straight line from left to right while holding phone in portrait position.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TiredEngineer:
I am a hardware engineer with some limited software knowledge. I am ULTRA paranoid when it comes to security and have a few questions:

1) People do seem to be paying attention to app permissions now. If an app only had network and storage access permissions, people would probably think it seemed pretty tame. Am I wrong in thinking this is probably the most dangerous an app could be? With these permissions it seems that the app could siphon EVERYTHING off your phone to their servers.

I guess my question would be, do Apps that have read/write storage access, have at the very least read access to all files? For example, it seems that my music app can scan for music, which is fine obviously, but what is stopping it from scanning ANYTHING else on my phone? Like business related documents, private notes, etc...then uploading these to their servers.

2) If an app only has network access, but no access to storage, I assume it would have no ability to add anything malicious locally after installation (or transmit anything off your phone)? Basically, can an app load malicious code from the network?

3) One nice feature on the iPhone is that a full reset actually does a decent job protecting your data. On Android this is not the case. Does Android device encryption actually encrypt everything (i.e. starting from the root (/) directory)? If this is the case, I would assume that a full device encryption, followed by a factory reset would nearly be akin to running a dd urandom on the drive.

4) Google seems to be stepping in the right direction with the new App Ops in Android 4.3. I am not sure what direction they will be taking this, but currently on my Nexus 7 it does not allow you to prevent access to storage or the network (for example I would like to block Final Fantasy from having network access and Weather Bug from having storage access).

Regardless, can an app automatically run on installation? The reason I ask is let's say you are downloading a seemingly benign app, but it really wants to make a dump of personal data and send it to their servers. If I download the app, could it start doing this immediately, or would I need to manually launch it first? If this was the case, then App Ops would not be very useful against certain malicious apps if they have the 1-2 minutes to dump off your contacts list before you could shut them off in the menu.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadbunny:
during installation it'll ask for granting permissions before installed

once installed, it can do the things you granted without further request for permission

with popular apps like viber, this is supposed to be okay

one more alternative:

create an xda social group..

Please use the often overlooked social group function. Those are perfect for this and can be controlled by the person who created it. The forums must remain on topic to development though.

It should also be noted that directing traffic off-site is actually against the forum rules as well. ;)

Ill be honest. What country your from is pointless outside of pricing and availability. Once those are known then where people are from matters little.

There are different promotions, warranty conditions, cellular related things that differ from country to country.. It is easier for users to interact with each other if they are from the same country and get their problems solved much faster

I understand that, but what development purpose does any of that have? We care nothing for warranties, (which are voided the min you use most things here) promotions or anything of the nature. All that matters here is development. Your device model is what matters. While your here, where your from, if your male or female, or anything like that means nothing. There is no real point in separating the community beyond device type.

Well I guess that's what we r trying to do,,that way any of the non development threads ll not clutter here. I know mods must have their reasons for doing what they did and I am not questioning their actions,but it really puts a lot of users at a difficult position.Even I agree wid u upto a point and I don't really wanna see a new thread everytime a user has some problem which is country specific.I believe taking these country specific chat else where ll prove really beneficial to both users and the xda community itself.The only problem here is to make them aware of these communities. So that they don't post useless threads here and there and instead go to the specific community. It ll be easier for the mods too to manage the development related chats only.

Thank you for ur time..

Yes but too much of the thread expanded away from general knowledge stuff that was of international value.

Something that applies to an indian user may very well apply to a malaysian or columbian... but because your thread is targeted to indian users... the malay or columbian user may not think to look in your thread even tho the knowledge is in there.

Knowledge transfer works best in the open.
