hey i will say u should go the hard way its very simple and time saving i soft bricked my phone this Sunday and then forced it to restart that got into a hard brick being my first time i searched all threads and finally came upon these two option and i choose hard way and searched a video of how to disassemble xperia ion the link is below just follow the steps on video till he unplugs the battery it on 03.48 there just remove the battery connector from motherboard and wait for two minutes in this time get the flashtool ready for flashing stock fimware and as it tells u to connect the phone (u have to be quick here or take some ones help ) connect the battery back to motherboard and immediately connect the usb by pressing the volume down button u may have to repeat the process quite a few time to get the exact timing (disconnect the battery again wait for a minute or two then connect it and again connect usb ) but when done u will just have to wait for flashtool to update the firmware and then ur phone will be brought to life again

When opening the battery information tab I don't get any info such as apps\screen time, I only get "android OS" at 100%..

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mercado_Negro:
Greetings,

I'm planning to purchase a router for my office and I'd like to use it for my N4 via WiFi.

What specs should I be looking at?

Is there something I should consider (bands, frecuencies, etc.)?

My connection is not that fast, only 1.5MB.

Please share your experiences. It'd be truly appreciated.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolApps:
For the best speed it should be N and 5GHz.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mercado_Negro:
It should be N? Sorry, I don't understand that part.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinnAsuka:
Wireless routers have different standards that they go by. As of right now for consumer use, there are B, G and N. B & G have been around for quite some time and N has had some time to develop to the point where its the fastest standard available currently.

So basically, you want to see if the router you are purchasing supports the wireless N standard. Chances are if the router supports N it will support B and G as well...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mercado_Negro:
Thank you very much. Here I can find TP-Link's. Could you please suggest one? Appreciated.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinnAsuka:
Here's a few...

http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/?categoryid=212

That is for 300 mbps, there is a section for 150 mbps. My guess for the difference is obviously the speed, but that difference in speed will most likely affect the price as well.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mercado_Negro:
I'll contact a few stores here. Thanks again for all your help.

By the way, the person that replied first recommended 5Ghz but most of the TP-Link options I've seen in that page you linked show 2.4-2.4835Ghz. Would that be enough in your opinion?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinnAsuka:
The frequency is to circumvent interference. For example, a lot of home phones operate on the 2.4 GHz frequency, which is probably why the first guy who posted recommended 5GHz, so you could have a dedicated frequency for Wi-Fi. If you can get your hands on a 5 GHz router, then go for it, but if not a 2.4 GHz router shouldn't be a problem...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mercado_Negro:
Ok, that's a good information. Thanks again! I'll look around and keep you posted if that's OK :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolApps:
A dual band router will support 2.4GHz and 5GHz and the Nexus 4 supports dual bands which is awesome.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mercado_Negro:
That's also a good piece of information. Thanks! I'll keep that in mind.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolApps:
By the way you can change bands in Advanced WiFi settings.
[General Questions and Answers] Dan Law 001:
Hello is there a way that allows me to made an app launch in smaller window? For example, if I launch the browser, it launches in full screen. However, I would like to make it in a smaller window, just like on my PC. Please note that I am not taking about the Multi-window mode on Touchwiz that makes the window stick on a side of the screen. I am talking about a centered window. Thanks for suggestions.:)
[General Questions and Answers] immortalneo:
As for browser, doesn't the Note II have a popup browser that can be centered on the screen in a mini window?

Smilarly, you can try using "Floating Apps" on the Playstore also.

For getting other apps in miniwindow mode, you could try ParanoidAndroid's Halo feature. For that, you would need to flash a PA ROM. :good:

bootloader variable not supported seems bad.

I did a quick search.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43041215&postcount=4

Try that I spose. Other people (me included) seem to think stock recovery is playing tricks on you... there's a shell script that reinstalls stock recovery. It's probably not getting removed.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] xaelith:
I couldn't get a custom recovery to stick on mine unless I had USB Debugging turned on. Also, with 4.1.2 stock, you have to IMMEDIATELY boot from fastboot into recovery, or as arrrghhh said, a script will overwrite the custom recovery on boot-up.

Good luck :)

I think from your link and others I searched, the flash isn't sticking. I need to edit remove a line "in console" but I have no idea what file that is which I edit, or remove the line of code from. Can you point me in the right direction? Is it an XML edit? of which file? And how do I apply it?

Sorry I always get so rusty month to month when I leave the phone for a while....
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
Ok I followed these steps and got it to work. However I haven't rebooted to Android OS so I don't know if recovery stuck or not, I'm making a backup now.

Hi,

I'm currently having problem with my XDA II mini (Radio version 1.11.00). Every time after a soft reset, I'm able to connect using GPRS. If it disconnect (manually or automatically), I'm not able to connect anymore. The only way to connect again is to reset the radio (soft reset or change the GPRS -Setting [slot])

Any idea what causing this?

Thanks.

All,

I have an S3, i-535 that I have been trying out some different roms on. So far I've tried Paranoid Android 3.68, pacman 22.2.0 along with a pacman milestone build and aokp mr1_build 6 and in every rom the camera throws a "failed to connect" error. With PA i as able to use the camera with an app (mx or instagram, i can't remember), but the other roms it was completely non-functional.

I see other threads here about camera issues, but there aren't many that I can see that actually resolve the issue other than "install the latest cm". I'd really like to use PA, so is there any way to have a functioning camera with PA? Or pacman for that matter.

I should also note that I'm already on VRBMF1, the phone came from verizon on that version, so I'm assuming I don't have to do anything to the baseband... ?

Hi, I have a TF201, rooted, bootloader unlocked, android 4.1.1.

I recently flashed the recovery image using fastboot and an image of CWM recovery touch (for the TP), it reported as successful. Now when i try to boot into recovery the system hangs at "Booting Recovery kernel image". I tried a earlier version and the same happened.

I was going to try to flash TWRP but there are 2 versions available one for ICS bootloader or one for JB bootloader. I am guessing i am on JB but have no sure way of how to tell and i don't want to risk bricking my system.

My bootloader version is: 1.00e ww_epad-10.4.2.18-20121122 a03

Has anyone had any success flashing a recovery image?

You can try Apollo or Google Music player - in my opinion, they are better than Samsung's music player... And for equalizers, you can try Music FX or Beats right?

Or try Audio engines like Pure Audio, AC!D or Viper....

You may have seen some blogposts yesterday about someone "hacking" the chromecast to run a gameboy emulator. Well, it is true that I got a gameboy emulator running on the chromecast, but it wasn't really a hack. This application uses no workaround or hack to get this up and running. It only uses the official SDK provided by Google.

I've posted the code on github here: https://github.com/acordar/chromecast-gb.

Performance is decent, not exactly the best since it doesn't run at 60fps (might depend on the rom, I've only tested 2). There isn't really any input lag though which is awesome.

If you've whitelisted your chromecast, you can set up the emulator yourself and try it out.

With text: "Items of one or more information types cannot be synchronized. Disconnect and reconnect your device. To view all error messages and dialog bozed that require your input, you must connect to this computer via infraren or serial/USB cable."

I DID NOT INSTALL ANYTHING NEW BEFORE IT HAPPENED. The last thing i did besides the usual texting, is write a new task and new alarm note thru Pocket Informant. (My suspect is alarm notes in Pocket Informant.)

Actions I took and results:

1. Reset XDA2 -> Didn't work

2. Restart MS ActiveSync in PC -> same

3. Reset XDA2 and restarted PC -> same

4. Uninstalled ActiveSync and installed ver 3.8 -> same

5. Detect and Repair Outlook -> same

6. Scanpst -> same

Don't know how many notes you have...try creating a new notes folder in Outlook. Temporarily move all of your notes there.

Syncing should work.

Move the notes back eithe rone at a time or in small batches...syncing after each move.

This should help you pin down a bad record. Once you find it, just recreate the note (copy and paste works fine).
