[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjspark89:
hey!

I already made a backup with 5iromtootlbox..already reawd pika's tutorial! I was just fishing for any alternative methods as an added precaution.. I'm still on stock..because every ROM seems to have some issue or the other.. so.. I actively use Bluetooth, GPS and my sdcard.. so being stuck with one of them not working isn't ideal for my usage. but thank you so much for your time... BTW I had few questions about 5iromtoolbox.. suppose I did a backup on GB.. can't I restore it an ICS or JB for that matter?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gkalen:
Yes you can restore your imei on any baseband (froyo,gb,ics,jb)... personally i restore my froyo imei backup on ics.

What kind of problems did you read for custom roms based on GB? ???

If you flash a custom GB based rom you will never return to official , and of you put CWM recovery you can easily take a backup of your official rom to return back to official very easily in 5 minutes.

You loosing time and your phone is sooooooo slooooow.

Just ask for help and we're ready to help you.

The next step, you must do is to replace "recovery.img" with CWM recovery 5.0.2.7 , then take a backup of your current stock rom , save it to your pc, and you're ready to goooo .....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puduraja:
If you can use root explorer and if you can perform overwrite option then it is easy.

You can be on stock rom. But it is advisable to root and enable write option.

Find out where is the imei located in your rom folder. In my phones both Micromax canvas 4 A210 and in Spice mi- 535 it is located in the folder /device/data/nvram.

I copied it and saved in external sdcard as well as in my laptop.

When ever I loose it after flashing of custom Rom I repaste and perform over writing using root explorer.

Sometime with mobile uncle tool it will take several attempt though it is auto save and recover.

In this manual procedure it becomes less time taken.

The correct folder has to be saved and restored.

With best wishes.

Ever since the update to the Admob website i am unable to create a new ad campaign for one of my apps,

Pretty much the update and import of all of my 'legacy admob' data went fine, apart from the import of one of my ad campaigns for the following reasons :

-The campaign does not contain any valid creatives.

-Ad text contains invalid character(s) or word(s).

and so it states that i will have to recreate it.

However when i attempt to create another ad campaign for the same app, i get ticks in every section i complete but when i hit save, theres a pop up at the top of the screen saying there are internal errors and next to the save button there a warning triangle with :

- 'You're already using this label name.'

I have tried changing the ad name, the campaign name, ive deleted the old campaign on legacy admob, changed the start and end dates, everything, and the worst ting is there is no way of contacting them!

Please let me know if anyone else has experienced this, and how you sorted it!

Thankyou very much!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] UnbornApple:
My Nexus 7 2013 or FHD or whatever has been working great since day one. I was just now listing to some music, and put it on pause to speak with a co-worker. I just came back to my desk with the Nexus boot up logo showing. It took a very long time (3-5 minutes) for it to finish booting up.

After unlocking the tablet I'm greeted with "Google Play Services stopped working." Instead of loading NovaLauncher right away it it asks me if I want to launch the default launcher or NovaLauncher. Selecting Nova greets me with the default NovaLauncher layout--all of my icons and folders have been lost to the default. And I no longer have a PIN set or anything.

Poking around further it seems several other things have lost data. Swiftkey wants me to re-download the English layout and complete setup. All of the stock system apps want updates. And I keep getting pop ups saying Google Play Services has crashed.

What's really odd is when I want to bring this up on another forum someone else posted a very similar experience:

I don't have encryption but I do have an exchange account added. There wasn't any remote wipe or anything. I haven't tried a factory reset yet but we'll see if I have the same issues the other person was having.

It's a little concerning to see someone else have almost the exact same thing happen. Makes me worried there's some defective memory out there. Has anyone else heard of this happening?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] A Final Hit:
I've had some really strange experiences the last couple of days with my N7 as well. Bear with me as i try to explain.

I picked up my N7 after work yesterday and noticed the Fandango app had an update waiting. I tapped 'Update', and then went to check something in the Play app settings, and noticed the version was 4.2.9. When the Fandango app finished updating, i opened it up to check out some showtimes. After that i went back to the Play app, into the settings again, and noticed that the app version had been bumped up to 4.3.1. When i tapped the home button, the N7 locked up, and i couldn't do anything at all. I powered it down and attempted to reboot, but no luck. I could get as far as the boot animation, but no further, no matter how long i let it run, or how many times i attempted to reboot. The only thing that worked was to completely wipe everything via fastboot, reinstall 4.3, and start from scratch. I thought my problems were solved, as everything seemed to work fine once i got everything re-installed and configured again.

Until i came home from work today, that is.

Upon arriving home, i unlocked my N7 and was greeted by several dialog boxes indicating that both the stock calendar app and Currents had crashed. Neither app could be opened, as they'd immediately crash, and the stock launcher would also crash, even though i use Nova Launcher. I thought maybe uninstalling/reinstalling updates for Calendar, would help, but the Play Store would crash immediately and could not be launched. I went into settings>apps and tried uninstalling updates and clearing data for all three apps, but only the Play Store app seemed to benefit from this. Nothing seems to help Calendar or Currents. They won't sync or open, and i've also just noticed that the Gallery immediately force closes when i try to launch that, too. My Google Voice app, which i used last night with no problems whatsoever, had lost all its data and had to be reconfigured from scratch. I'm still going through the rest of my apps one at a time to see if there are problems with any of them, but so far all other Google apps are working properly.

I'm perplexed as to what the problem is. Software issue? Hardware issue? In any case, i'm calling Google Support to ask for a replacement, just to be safe. I'm hoping that the N7 i have now is just a lemon, and not indicative of more widespread problems.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] bjohnston115:
I bought two, one works flawlessly (knock on wood) and the other one **** the bed after three days of use. I am returning it for a new one.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] A Final Hit:
I'm all setup to return this one, and not a moment too soon as it's acting even wonkier now. DashClock force closes, and i'm finding some apps have had their data erased, while others are working normally. Hopefully the replacement works as it's supposed to, because i'll be really annoyed if i have to go through three or four tablets before i get one that works.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] roy8000:
I just had almost the exact same issue, opened SoundHound premium and the nexus 7(2103) crashed.

After like 5mins it boots up, with my google account deleted (with it all my paid apps), all the google apps updates and google services crashing.

and above all extremely slow.

I'm now re-registering my account, to see if ir returns to normal.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] UnbornApple:
Did you have an exchange account set up on the Nexus?

After this happened to me I wiped everything (I wanted to unlock the bootloader anyways) and things are going fine. If it happens again I'm going to exchange it.
[HTC Rezound] Truemeaningoffear:
So I just came back to my redound and after realizing I manged to spill stuff on it while storing it in my drawer i finally got it booting and now have a question about root and recovery. So I'm trying to flash custom roms and recovery to but I noticed it says I'm s-off and I remember going s-off but whats odd is I remember being rooted to do it however now i have no root or custom recovery and I'm just curious what steps to take to return to root and custom recovery. Thanks in advance.

Custom Recovery

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1902381&highlight=recovery

1) Go to this thread, download the attachment named TWRP_2.6.0.0_Vigor_PH98IMG.zip, put it on the root of your SD Card and delete the part of the name before the PH98IMG.

2) Boot into the bootloader

2a) Power Off your phone

2b) Remove and reinsert battery

2c) Hold Vol Down and Power until bootloader shows

3) Follow instructions on bootloader screen and press Vol Up (i think) when it tells you to.

Root

If you are installing a custom rom, root will generally be taken care of for you.

If you have questions feel free to ask.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 00McD00:
I use an app called Gravity Screen Pro (link below) and it has really changed how I use my phone. You get set it so when you lay the phone on a flat surface the screen will turn off, wake the screen by waving your hand over the sensor, screen turns off when you put it in your pocket, and a lot of other great features. I would highly recommend it.

[Sony Xperia ZL] venexiano:
Dear all,

I just bought a Sony Xperia ZL 6506 white on ebay. It is new. I think it was a good deal since it was 455 shipping included. the guy states in the ad that the phone is brand new. I have T-mobile, and I am concerned of only one thing: the seller wrote "At&t" under the voice "carrier" and states: "PHONE WORKS WITH AT&T. NOT SURE IF IT IS UNLOCKED TO OTHER GSM NETWORKS." I googled and I think there is no such an Sony Xperia ZL 6506 locked to Att, or am I missing something? Should it work with my Tmobile sim card?Thanks

It is listed here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sony-Xperia...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
[Sony Xperia ZL] CollinFX45:
You'll be fine - the C6506 is unlocked for any GSM carrier. It is the reason I just purchased one yesterday as well: because it has the 1700mhz T-mobile AWS band (unlike the HTC One Developer Edition that I'm now selling).

It will not be locked to AT&T. Now, the T-mobile version of the Xperia Z is another story and it will be locked to T-mobile, but you'll be fine.

Enjoy your phone! Setting mine up now and I just love it so far.

[Sony Xperia ZL] venexiano:
Awesome I hope so. I bought it because it is pentaband. It has the H+ network also on the 900 Mhz frequenzy!! So I am gonna use it in Italy (im italian working in USA) as well if my studies were corrects. Do you agree? And you are gonna travel to Europe sometimes rite? :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] CollinFX45:
I actually just came home from Italy on my honeymoon! I didn't have the phone at that time, but I did have the Nexus 4 and it worked beautifully. Too bad I dropped it on the cement after a few too many beers at the beer garden in Prague :)

Cheers,

[Sony Xperia ZL] venexiano:
Congrats for ur wedding! I bet u were in my hometown (Venezia, Venexiano means inhabitant of Venice in venetian dialect).

Anyway yeah I wanted to buy the Nexus 4, way cheaper...but I wanted to have the option to use a SD card...

May I ask you way you ditched the Nexus 4 for the Xperia ZL? Was Praga's cement too hard and it could not make it?

Cheers
[Sony Xperia ZL] CollinFX45:
Well, I was using the Nexus 4 on AT&T in the US at that time, and AT&T's 3G network is fairly slow here. It was time to get a phone with LTE, so I got the HTC One. Now, I switched to T-Mobile and they just turned on the LTE service in my area (San Jose, CA) and I needed the pentaband phone. I didn't want to buy a phone from T-Mobile because I prefer to buy unlocked versions and I really liked the Sony. It's so compact for a 5" screen.

Yes, we went to Venezia. It was so beautiful! One of our fondest memories was traveling out to Burano and Murano islands. True paradise.

Cheers,

-Collin-
[Sony Xperia ZL] venexiano:
Cool my mom was born and raise in Murano. I go often there with my boat.

Anyways...did u really notice a big difference between Tmobile H+ and Tmobile LTE?

thanks

A.
[Sony Xperia ZL] needmoregigs:
T-Mobile has LTE deployed in Chicago. I'm getting roughly the same speeds as HSPA+ most of the time. The only difference is the latency and some peak speeds. I've seen almost 30Mbps on LTE in some areas. Honestly, I turn my LTE off most of the time because I've been using up my bandwidth way too quickly.
[Sony Xperia ZL] CollinFX45:
I get about 10-12mbps on HSPA+ and usually 25-30mbps on LTE here in San Jose. 10-12 is just fine for me, but I just got one of the new unlimited plans so I see no real drawback. Uploads are WAY faster though, and that helps with my "auto-upload" feature I use when I snap photos I guess. You know, and pictures of my food being posted on Facebook and whatnot :)

-Collin-
[Sony Xperia ZL] pete4abw:
I just SWITCHED to AT&T and get only HSPA/HSPA+. No LTE service at all. Is there something new subscribers need to do? I've only seen existing AT&T subscribers having success with the ZL.

Suggestions? Thanks
[Sony Xperia ZL] pete4abw:
Solution to Xperia ZL and no LTE Service

I solved the issue.

First the problem: If you are a new customer bringing an unlocked phone (not AT&T branded), when you register your IMEI, the network will not recognize it as AT&T property and will deny you LTE service.

Solution: Finally, after a week, today I went to the local store, and they put the IMEI of a store phone in and voila, LTE right away. Obviously, this should not be the case, and those who get service right away must be existing AT&T customers with an AT&T phone in their account. This must change otherwise people won't want to switch! HTH

How did you unroot?

I was on a ME7 ROM and unrooted to MDK with Odin.

You can't Odin mdk if you have me7. It won't work. A q-fuse is blown which won't let you down grade.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trebb:
I wasn't on official ME7 software. I was rooted on MDK, and installed an ME7 based ROM. I didn't take a stock ME7 phone and root it, then try and go back to MDK.

I went back to MDK just fine with Odin. My phone works. However, when I try and install the official software update through the phone, it downloads and then gets an error when I eventually hit install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jd1639:
Ok, you were on a me7 rom, that's different. To unroot did you flash mkd with odin?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trebb:
Yes. I flashed the MDK tar with Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Southern_mind:
That's because you rooted to begin with. You need to use Odin to update to ME7. But I would suggest not doing that if you want to run full stock then just use the darkslide rom is me7 but with the loki bootloader. If you do a full update you won't ever be able to flash roms unless someone unlocks the bootloader or safe strap Working. Safe strap maybe will work. But the bootloader I don't think will happen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trebb:
It's fine - I can't be rooted for the first time in my life (had the original D1 on Verizon) due to the fact that I just started working. We can only use Good For Enterprise (an app) to get our work email on our phones. There's a workaround to get the app working with root, but it's just not worth it. Hence why I unrooted. :(

Work pays for a phone, but I don't feel like carrying around two. I can deal with an unrooted phone, I suppose.
