[HTC Droid DNA] xlxcrossing:
Honestly I don't know where to begin with your post. Its all over the place. The phone turns off by holding the power button for 10 seconds and waiting for the capacitive buttons to stop flashing. If your phone turns on its really not possible for this NOT to work. Yes it will reboot this is normal, though once the lights stop blinking you can quickly hold volume down and power to access boot loader and power down fully from there. Recovery is accessed from bootloader too assuming you have one installed. A lot can be done from both bootloader and recovery to solve problems so finding out if you can access them is the first step. I don't understand your statement about the default lock screen showing and you can't see your home screen. Which ROM is it? Which lock screen are you referring to? Why can't you simply unlock the phone? What is stopping you from doing that? Your home button doesn't work and you can't get to your apps...meaning? You can't access the app drawer? I thought you couldn't unlock the device there is conflicting info there. I don't see how you are beaming tasks one at a time through this painful process but I would just avoid that until you've fixed the problem. You can access settings but no factory reset, why? What can you do from settings? And finally you are asking for some apk's "just lying around".....dude your issues seem severe, obviously you are inhibited from using your phone right now but someone giving you some apps won't solve your problem in fact it would probably make it worse. Get into recovery perform a full wipe and flash a different ROM. Also don't mess with deleting apps if your not sure it might screw up your system.
[HTC Droid DNA] xiastro1ix:
Alright let me try to be a little more descriptive.

So as for the lock screen, I can unlock the screen, but then I see a black screen, no home page/icons. I cant get into the app drawer, when i try to factory reset, it says "rebooting" for a few seconds, screen turns off, right back on to lock screen, sim card says preparing, and then i'm back to where i was, doesnt actually reset. As for the beaming, I can say, open system app remover or file viewer on my girlfriends phone, then beam it, and my phone will open the corresponding app. This is the only way I can get apps to open, since I can't get to drawer or go to home screen.

When I hold down the power button down, the buttons flash, I get a message saying " continue to hold for 3 seconds" it counts down to 1, and then nothing. I can hold it til my arm falls off, nothing at all happens when it hits 1, I also can't power the phone down. If i try to, the screen goes black, capactive buttons turn white, back to lock screen and phone does " preparing sim" and the network/wifi reconnect as if it was just rebooted.

I have the default rom the phone came with, I believe I have a bootloader, I used a guide from this site to perform my root. The folder I have contains distiller, dnashellroot.apk, boot_secure, busybox, su and superuser.apk
[HTC Droid DNA] xiastro1ix:
The weird part is, other then not being able to turn it off/get into drawer/see home screen, everything else works. If i get a text, i can drag down and select it and it opens. If i open gmail on my GF's phone and beam it, will open Gmail and function 100%. Same goes for any app we both have that I beam.

I just used my rooting method to force bootloader up, which worked, but when i hit recovery, im looking at a picture of a phone laying down with a orange triangle/exclamation point in the center of it.
[HTC Droid DNA] mushroomhead13xx:
Ok - fact of the matter is that you might want to try getting into recovery via the bootloader (vol down + power from off). If you can access the recovery module from there, you are then able to click advanced (using TWRP) then click sideload. You will then need to use ADB to sideload a new ROM onto the phone, then install via TWRP. Hopefully you might even still have the old .zip for the current ROM that you're using and just really need to get to recovery.
[HTC Droid DNA] xiastro1ix:
I can get into bootloader, i tried recovery, i get a verizon screen bootloader but just resets phone after a few minutes.

At my friends suggestion i just got TWIP installed and now i'm just waiting to see what she suggests next. I figured out thanks to my advance app killer I can get to the play store whenever i need to, and then open any apps i've installed through there. Stupid work around, but hey, it works lol.
[HTC Droid DNA] mushroomhead13xx:
Well if you just got TWRP installed via fastboot or goo manager you should be pretty well set. Download a new ROM, reboot into recovery and install. I would suggest wiping the davik and cache - possibly even the system just to give you a fresh start.
[HTC Droid DNA] xiastro1ix:
So far Ive used goo to get twrp installed and now we are working on getting sense 5 working.

Appreciate all the input, might be getting somewhere finally lol.
[HTC Droid DNA] mushroomhead13xx:
I highly suggest NOS M7 Sense 5 Build ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2184706 ) - Absolutely stunning at how well it works. I just switched from that to the GPE port from NOS M7 as well. Good work on getting somewhere, I remember the days of IDK WHAT IM DOING OMG WHAT IS THE ADB ...FASTBOOT..... UGH WHATS WITH THIS VERIFICATION ERROR! lol

Im actually all set, i got the phone up and working on this rom, and now im SAFELY using the list below to delete all the apps I dont want.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34704106

This rom kicks ass, i cant believe i stayed with default rom all this time to begin with, turned a bad situation into a much better one :D

Love XDA so much, this sites a life saver. The first thing that came into mind when I bricked it was, Yep, time to hit XDA.
[HTC Droid DNA] mushroomhead13xx:
Absolutely! I first started out on XDA when I got my first android phone; MyTouch 3g (HTC Magic). I then took my tinkering to full fledged modding where I was charging to overclock, root and unlock phones. It used to be fairly profitable, now there's one click steps for everything. Glad you were able to figure it out instead of having to take it to someone! Good work!

Any solution to remove the "hands free activation" message after each reboot? Any *.a

Any *.apk or file to remove?

Thanks

:)

What is that? The self service thing?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Kraizk:
That is weird, it should not pop up EVERY time you reboot.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] fabricatta:
Really weird :(

I don't know what it is used to...

It comes out every time reboot/switch on the phone , I click OK and disappeared ...

Now I am s-off, root, bootloader unlock and viper Rom 1.1

On other HTC phones I find you have to delete some files in system/app

Thanks

Hi,

Off late, I'm seeing an extra weather card along with my local weather card [Bangalore, IN]. The second weather card being Plano, TX. I've never Google'd for this location nor have I set anything to point to this location (don't know how to, either). Is this some kind of a bug? Fixable?

Different phone (Moto X), but this just started happening to me as well. Any solutions?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miniAndroidian:
On a N4 with the Google Experience Launcher you've got 3 dots on the top right corner (don't know 'bout the Moto X, it may be an "i" in a circle instead). Simply click on it and it will ask you if you are interested in weather forecasts for this location. Then simply press no.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isburns:
I do have the 3 dots, but it instead asks me "Interested in weather updates for upcoming trips?" The thing is, I am interested in weather updates for upcoming trips, but I'm not sure why it thinks that I have an upcoming trip to Puerto Montt, Chile. The card has been there for a week, but I've never searched for Puerto Montt (I searched for it in incognito mode after the card appeared but never otherwise) and it's not in my gmail.
[General Topics] JJ_fixphone:
OK here's the deal.

Everything was working fine. One day I picked up my XDA II off the cradle as I was going home and the screen went all funny and it froze. I did a hard reset and it has never come up since (4+ months).

If I plug it into the power the red light comes on for about 2 minutes and then it disapears.

I've tried taking the battery/sim out and all the suggestions that I've found on this site but nothing seems to take. I've had it off the power for atleast 4 months now so the battery may be gone if it wasn't already.

Does anybody have a clue as to what it may be... red light on.. then off?

Also, I bought this thing when living in Australia, but I'm in NYC now and I can't find a single person who has even heard of the stupid thing. Does anybody know where I could get it repaired around here?
[General Topics] zilla1126:
Don't bother asking anyone here; just about the least helpful bunch ever. The speaker in my I-Mate stopped working; no one here was any help at all when I asked where to get parts. It may have been because there appears to be NO place to get parts.

I ended up buying a MDA II from Europe (ebay) and getting the speaker from that. I actually bought a XDA II also from here in the states that had a cracked case; my intention was to combine the two to make a single phone in good shape.

Maybe I can help you in the process. E-mail me offline at scott@bolanderhome.nospam.com (remove the ".nospam") and we'll talk.

Samsung will update the S3 to Android 4.3 eventually. I bet around December.

Latest rumors are that Samsung is already working in version 4.3 for samsung galaxy s3, so I expect the update to come even earlier.
[Galaxy S III General] snakerdlk:
LOL, just hope it'll be ready before Android 5, or else samsung is never going to catch up with the latest firmware. They haven't even release android 4.2, and they're suposed to be working on Android 4.3? What a joke.

Either way, I gave up waiting for the laggy Samsung firmwares.. even Omega or ARHD start lagging after a while.

Kinda happy with SuperNexus 2. It's a lot snappier...

"Nothing but hear say" meaning "nothing but rumours" meaning "no one knows".

Hi There,

After using the search tool on XDA, i've come across two solutions to root my S4 (International version, i9505) on a Mac (OS X). One of them is motochopper. I've installed it, and followed all the instructions. But at the end, i keep getting this line in Terminal where it says "failure" instead of success. When I open Superuser on my device, it keeps saying that i should update. This is also not working.

The other solution was Heimdall. I got the instruction from the site of CyanogenMod. Heimdall keeps crashing here. I removed Kies from my computer and it still doesn't work. I've got no /opt/local/lib on my machine, not even in the hidden files part.

So does anybody know another solution to root my i9505 on a Mac?

brought i9300 (used, cracked screen) online for mobo replace of my old bricked phone, can anyone tell if this phones a fake or not?

im not with the phone atm, i got my brother to take pictures, it doesnt have a samsung boot logo, it goes straight to the "android" logo,

i would like to know ASAP, to see if i can do anything with the seller. get my money back or something (i highly doubt)

hmm thats not gonna cut it, my old s3 is a i9300, and this "new" one claims to be a i9300, but its completely different, and doesn't have the samsung boot logo, just comes up "android", should this be enough? cause i9300 is the international s3, so how could the korea i9300 be any different? does a korea i9300 even exist?

thanks, i just need some facts so i can get my money back
[Hardware Hacking General] Cesar124:
A Korean i9300 does exist. But once it shows "Android" as the boot animation, It's automatically a fake as Samsung never distributes phones that show that (that I know of). Get your money back! :fingers-crossed:

But then he came back to Belgium and our local GSM/3g network provider blacklisted his S3/IMEI...

Hy!

I am working on my NFC project for my diploma thesis and I want to make 2 things:

1) When I tap NFC tag with my phone I want that browser on my phone connect me to my website.

2) I want to make that my NFC tag count numbers of taps so I can later read that number with my android app and send it to database on my server, so I can make statistics about how many times my NFC tag has been tapped.

I have accomplished my first task and my phone browser propertly display my website when I tap NFC tag but now I have problem with my second task. I have searched on internet for some tutorials and I havent found any good tutorial how to programm NFC tag to count numbers of taps and its not as simple as with website url, so I am asking myself, maybe its not even possible to make it. I think, if NFC tag can save whole URL of website it must be possible to save single integer number and do basic Number_of_taps + = 1 thing.

If anyone knows good solution or link of some good tutorial pls post it. Thanks in advance!

Soryy, but I dont know how to put title of my question,..
[Acer Iconia A500] sgracanin:
Hi, I apologize for another "bricked A500" thread, but I was unable to find a solution, tried a couple of dozen, none worked. Here is the deal:

I received from a friend an A500 tablet, stuck at the Acer logo. Searched the forum, tried to update.zip all of the listed and uploaded, none of them worked. Got spooked, wanted to get my CPUID, nothing helped my device being recognized by the PC, installed drivers, checked with afterota, which informed me that drivers were fine. Afterota does not see the device, nor does the A500 manager, even when I am in the apx mode and acer picasso usb boot-recovery driver is recognizing the device, but else nothing. The A500 manager says no device connected.

At some point the usbdeview gave me a serial number, but it was an 11 digit number, starting with 1261. On the box (I do have the original box it came in) lists a different serial number, SNID, also 11 digits, starts with 1281. On the box is another number, SN, but starts with XE

At some point, I was pretty frustrated by then, some update.zip went through. I thought "this was it" but next boot showed "Boot verified failed ..." in red. All else does not work, even the try to update.zip with the same (or any other file, for that matter) fails. PC does not see the device, except in the apx mode, acer picasso usb boot-recovery driver. There is no CPUID. Power on/volume - produces only dead androids.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. As far as I know, USB debugging status cannot be determined. Thank you in advance for your time and effort. I will stay put and answer any questions you may have, and also try anything you throw my way. Thanks again.

EDIT: I just managed to switch from picasso driver to the Ader USB Boot-recovery driver and now the A500 manager does see the device in apx mode, unfortunately it does not extract CPUID (stays blank if I try) or does nothing else for that matter.
