Hello all

I downgraded my Qtek 2020 from WM2005 to WM2003 SE.

But now I can't make TomTom 5 recognize my Bluetooth GPS.

In WM 2005 it workes great, but I have the backlight problem, so I come back to 2003 SE thinking that that problem was over, but I was mistaken.

I paired my GPS ok and made the outbond to COM5, but still TomTom don't see my GPS.

I also searched this forum and try'd some of the solutions, but no hope.

Can some one help me with this.

If it says i9300 in product code then you might have a chance to revive the phone. Try flashing a full rom with pit table.

Is there some secret to the Volume UP + Volume DOWN + Power hard key combo? I've pressed it hundreds of times with different timings and can't get into the bootloader. Tips?

Also, the power key takes sooooo long to turn this thing on. At first I thought it was doa. Thought that was interesting...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Fred@asus:
There really isn't any secret method. Just make sure the unit is powered off then hold the power button and vol down button until you see the Android robot and you can through the options using the vol up and down keys.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] -scarface-:
Who can tell wich services can I disable on Google Play Services app or plugin or whatever it is with app called Disable Service(available on play market)

It's running in background and hogging ram... I want to uncheck only those options wich won t ruin something or will disable Google Play Store

or can I uncheck all? There is about 60 services.

or maybe I can uninstall whole Google Play Services app? Will It cause any bugs?

As far as I know it's possible.

I already dealt with Annoying Google Maps that BIT*H is done and won t run in background :D at least till it will be needed.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] -scarface-:
Anyone?

It will. Like you can't sign in to some gapps like youtube and hangouts
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] -scarface-:
actually nothing like it...

I didn't uninstalled app I just unchecked few services and it does not turn it self on over and over ;)

youtube, playmarket works fine.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] condudad:
Which services did you uncheck? Would save me the trouble from trial and error mate :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] -scarface-:
I don t know wich services are causing this but here's what unchecked:

first 11 services starting from mdmdispatcherservice and ending with gamessyncservicenotification

and PlusService , PlayMateService

whats up with the trial? I downloaded mine from playmarket it seems to be ok

p.s. googleplayservices will turn on and run in the background as soon as u run Youtube app or playmarket but it won t turn it self over and over once u force stop it

edit: actually now I think u have to uncheck services wich are highlighted blue... those are the running services
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] PetterW:
Sweet app, this Disable Service! Thanks for the tip. I have frozen Google Play Services completely using App Quarantine, and no adverse effects for me - quite the opposite actually since the phone behaves better in all ways (memory-constrained 512 Mb Xperia Ray might be why). But if I run into any troubles, I'll go the Disable Service way instead.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richardsoffice:
-Scarface- Have you any further encounters with unchecking services since you post in August?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hackerpower:
Use greenify, much better and safe.

Don't forget to convert google services to user app first with titanium so you can chose to hibernate in greenify.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richardsoffice:
Well I tried Greenify:

Well I tried Greenify:

I uninstalled Disable-Service and installed Greenify, used Titanium to convert Google Services to user app, but I found that Greenify kept reporting it had failed to hibernate Google Play services. So I’ve re installed Disable-Service, which works for me.

Did you have installed Xposed Insaller and you have enabled Greenify from it?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joecus:
Hi,

I've recently rooted my Verizon Galaxy S4 (THANK YOU open1your1eyes0 for the guide, and hiikezoe, DooMLoRD, and PWM978 for the root exploit!) and everything went pretty much flawlessly.

So brimming with confidence after almost a week of root related tweaking I'm now hunting for a solution to replace part of the functionality of the right hand side HARDWARE button for putting my phone to sleep - or whatever the correct term is for when "I click the button to make my screen go dark so as to avoid calling people with my butt while I'm carrying my phone around".

Is there such a thing?

As an old school IT guy, my philosophy is that I'd rather use the touch screen (with like a toggle or what have you) for this super frequent function than use the hardware button which will eventually wear the hell out. Yeah, I know it prolly has around a gogillian use cycles before that day but I'm a bit of a purist and maybe we should just call it a philosophy with me. Or maybe I'm debilitatingly OCD.

Either way, is there such a solution out there? I'm hoping for a toggle similar to the pull-down shade buttons already provided for mobile data, or GPS etc. However I would also be satisfied with a standalone "app" type button I could situate someplace handy onscreen or maybe even in a "Button Savior" type "drawer" that I could access with just a flick and click after every phone call (and BEFORE I drop the phone into my pocket and call random people as I have been doing far too often *lol*)

Anyway, thanks for reading and I appreciate any help you may be able to give me to get me pointed in the right direction.

Best regards,

Joe C.

Only thing I can consider is trying to get a job with Samsung and maybe they will let you build the s5 with the buttons you want. Good luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
Search for screen off in the play store. Found it within a minutr of searching.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Southern_mind:
Yeah there's a app in the play store that let's you so that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joecus:
Thanks

Thanks hexitnow and nativi! I appreciate your time answering me but I should have been clearer. I had seen those various "app" options and even tried a few.

What I was trying to describe by, "..a toggle similar to the pull-down shade buttons already provided for mobile data, or GPS etc." was the actual rectangular toggle buttons for those functions and others like airplane mode and screen rotation and all. I'm referring to the batch of buttons which can even be reordered to control which 5 are displayed across the top of the pull down shade area.

One of the Play Store apps called "Screen Off and Lock" by "Katecca" comes close because it lets you configure it to show in the pull down shade - but only in the "Text" area of the "Notifications" area (like where battery info or things like that are shown). Am I describing what I mean adequately?

It's a wonderful app but I was hoping to limit the screen real estate dedicated to this function even more is all. :)

Thank you again though for your tips.

Best,

Joe C.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] HowardZ:
The free Button Savior app can do this. Use the on/off looking button.

Also in system settings, security, device administrator, you need to give lock screen privilege to Button Savior

Would nova Launcher have a gesture that you could do to turn the screen off with a gesture or even a gesture app.

well for whatever reason the clock process keeps getting killed it sounds like, are you using any task killers? Since you make it seem like it stops at 5:05 everyday, you might have set up the task killer to clean your ram every so often, and its killing the clock process

With the announcement of the LG2 i must say it looks like a very nice device sporting 2.3ghz quadcore. I hope that doesn't make the 3000 mAh battery seem pointless with its 5.2 inch display.

I'm just curious though, does anyone of you believe that the Nexus 5 will be based off of the recently revealed LG G2? I find that devices looks great, and while i do understand that some people don't want to move up to 5.2 inch screen, i must say i'm more or less ready to make the move. In the past i could not for one second imagine myself using a 5.2+ inch screen, but recently i just find it makes the browsing, texting and reading a MUCH greater experience.

anyways, what do you guys think?

The new nexus 7 is called the Google Nexus 7 (2013). The ASUS Google Nexus 7 (2012). So the point he was making is that the name might not go in increments.
[G2 General] atulalvenkar:
The number is screen size. Since new Nexus tablet is still a 7 inch device it was called Nexus 7.

If next Nexus phone comes with a 5 inch screen it so be most likely called Nexus 5.
[G2 General] Dungeon47:
Yes, of course, that was clear; I was just pointing out that there is also no clear indication of any guideline, so it's all speculative.

[G2 General] RealiZms:
The Nexus 5 will be based off the G2. Sadly it will be sexier and more of a beast than the Nexus 4....I really wanted to keep my Nexus 4 for 2 years but damn the Nexus 5 looks like it will violently b!tch slap any other phone on planet earth.

Mad props to LG. To take a beautiful, sexy device like the Nexus 4 and follow it up with a device that clearly trumps it in looks, aesthetic, performance....everyone will be blown away and hooked on the Nexus all over again...

---------- Post added at 04:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 PM ----------

You're asking for a Nexus 4S or a newer Nexus 4. This is about the Nexus 5 ....Every Nexus released has been a significant improvement over its predecessor....not a small step up
[G2 General] DirgeExtinction:
Considering how many issues Google has had with Qualcomm when it comes to releasing factory images of devices running Qualcomm chips, I hope it'd use a different SoC.
[G2 General] RealiZms:
Really what's the alternative?

Qualcomm has a lock on SoC's at the moment and for the forseeable future. I mean really who else is there? Intel?

Development wise everyone is behind Qualcomm. Not by just a little either. The Snapdragon 800 that powers the G2 will more than likely go untested or unmatched by any competitor SoC until NEXT year....The 800 is a big deal as far as SoC's go.

I'm not sure of this beef Qualcomm has with Google. Don't know much about that.

[G2 General] RealiZms:
Samsung's Exynos? Nope.

The main reason most Exynos powered devices don't have official CM support is because Samsung doesn't release their images. Infact I don't think you can find one Exynos powered device officially supported by AOSP.

Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 pro powers my N4 and I rather like it. Can somebody explain this mysterious problem between Qualcomm and AOSP? Doesn't make sense
[G2 General] springy:
It isnt that much bigger than the nexus 4.

Nexus 4 is 133.9 x 68.7 x 9.1mm

LG G2 is 138.5 x 70.9 x 8.9mm

Slightly taller by 5 mm, wider by 2mm but slightly thinner.

Also not sure of the power lock button on the back. You could just put your phone on the table and the phone will be turned on. Also getting cases will be odd. I hope they use the normal buttons on the side.
[G2 General] Testraindrop:
This, its basically like the S4.

What I would be missing in the next Nexus (if its based on G2) would be Wireless Charging :(

[G2 General] NardVa:
