Google Nexus 5. I loved my Arc so much that replacing it was a pain. For a short while I considered The Glaxy 4 Mini but it was too ugly. I t had the right specs and the right size though.

Nexus 5 have the righter specs but the wronger size. And it is not ugly.

Hi

I'm planning on buying a LG g2, but I'm hesitating because the nexus5 seems like a good choice too, but there's the battery issue, I wanna know has the drain that was reported numerous times been solved?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Homerunnerd:
Hello there, I got a new Nexus 7, running build JSS15J. Right out of the box everything worked fine. Upon connecting to wifi and updating to 4.3 the device would no longer connect to the computer. The only driver that installs when the device is plugged in is the Google Nexus ADB Interface. (And I still cant see it as an ADB device)

I plan to ultimately root the device, but cannot do so. I've factory reset the device, and still no connection with the PC.

I'm fairly certain it is not my computer as my Galaxy S4 still connects to my computer and is recognized.

More Info: The tablet connects through PTP (camera) mode and allows me to transfer files that way, but will not connect any other way.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mrdunn:
See http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44523227&postcount=101, it worked for me. I first used WUG's tools to unlock and root. Need to go to development option in settings, to allow debugging. If you don't have it, go to "about phone" and tap 7 times to activate.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Homerunnerd:
I was planning on using WUG's Tools (already have them downloaded). I have debugging enabled and have disabled both MTP and PTP, still WUG's tools do not recognize my device. (my computer does not recognize it either)

The link you gave me solved the computer problem! I can now transfer via MTP! THANKS!

Next problem: WUG's Tools still do not recognize my device...

EDIT: Solved, just put it in PTP (camera) mode and it worked perfectly
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Michael_514:
Hi guys,

I'd like your opinion on this one...!

I bought a fresh SX66 (Details below) from Cingular.

What do you think about the follwing:

1 - I download the official firmware update from the Siemens website.

2 - I extract the files and replace the Radio ROM with the 1.13 Converted Type I file.

3 - I flash the unit.

Seems like a logical thing to me.

Is it? Or will I run into any problems that you suspect?

Thanks for your advice. I'll certainly read this thread before I go for it!

Mike

Model Number PH20B1

ROM Version 1.32.10 WWE 12/17/04

Radio Version 1.02.10

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] aklisiewicz:
Seems like recantly my GPS app and MAP apps were updated (automatically). Since then I have lots of problems.

Main problem drives me nuts, soe perhaps somebody can share the solution.

When I turn on GPS it seems to work fine (although I have the new interface). Then when I'm done I want to shoot it down.

1. There is not EXIT GPS button like it used to be

2. I go to the open Apps list and clode the App, but it is still running

2. When I go to Status bar and disable GPS sensor the App shoots down but part of it runs in a background, keeps comlaining that CPS signal is lost.

The bottom line - in order to completely get rid of GPS app from RAM I have to restart the phone.

Any clues why this is happening or how to go back to the previous version of GPS/MAP software which worked so much better ???

Thanks - Arthur
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] GMAN1722:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joedajoester:
Edit* Seems like they keep locking together, guess you cant have separate governors for each cpu. Oh well :P

Hi all, i found a app in the play store called, kernel tuner. It has a option to have different governors for each cpu. Im just wondering if this really works, and if so, what would be a good governor for the other cpu?

I'm thinking that i would want the second cpu to be a boost when its needed, so i am trying this config now. Also, any ideas would be appreciated :D

cpu 0: Freelunch governor

cpu1:ondemand governor

the freelunch governor has an explanation here But basically i found that it likes to keep one core on alot more than any other governor so it saves battery.

If i am doing something cpu intensive maybe or launching a app that requies some more cpu it will probably turn on the second core and since its ondemand it will give it a boost

Is it necessary to provide all registration info to receive the 50% off? (i.e. IMEI and other purchase information)

I registered my device model but did not want to provide any further info.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Sammage:
Yeah, you have to give them the purchase info I'm pretty sure.

I did notice when I was using the coupon that it counts for ALL items under $49.99 you put in your cart. You can add as many items as you want and they're all half price. The individual items just have to be under the 49.99 price. So you can't throw in those $150 headphones and get them half off. But you COULD get a battery charger, second spare battery and a car mount and each would be 50% off.

I had already bought spare batteries so I didn't need anything but the car mount...you might though. Go get your deal! :good:

[ info ]

So guys I have got root on the newest firmware 12.0.A.2.245 / 254!

Since Sony has patched our beloved perf_event exploit (with which we rooted 30+ Xperia devices) I had to find an alternate way... so I did the smart thing, just used the kernel on which the exploit works, root the device and flash back the newest kernel!

THIS WORKS ON BOTH LOCKED & UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS!

once again thanks to all the users who donated this device to me!

[ proof ]

[ NOTICE ]

THIS IS ONLY FOR THE XPERIA SP (C5302/3) FW 12.0.A.2.245 / 254!

DO NOT USE IT ON ANY OTHER VARIANT/FIRMWARE!

[ sources & additional info on exploit ]

check out this thread

[ how-to ]

Download the three files from the download section below

open FlashTool and flash the XperiaSP_C530X_12.0.A.1.257_KernelOnly.ftf - 6.78 MB file, this is JUST the kernel of an older firmware which was rootable

now once flashing is done reboot device and connect to PC in usb debuggin mode

CLOSE FLASHTOOL <<< VVVIMP STEP

extract the file DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18_perf-event-exploit.zip to root directory on c:\

execute runme_ file corresponding to your OS on desktop PC, this will execute a SPECIAL version of my easy rooting toolkit <<< VVVIMP STEP

the above step is crucial! if you use any older version of the toolkit then IT WILL NOT WORK!

after rooting is over the device will restart

you can verify if device is rooted by checking for SuperSU app (it is the newest version)

once thats done now power down device and open FlashTool again

now flash XperiaSP_C530X_12.0.A.2.254_KernelOnly.ftf - 6.95 MB OR XperiaSP_C530X_12.0.A.2.245_KernelOnly.ftf - 6.95 MB (depending on your firmware) file to get back to the true kernel for the firmware

thats it after flashing is done just disconnect and power on device and enjoy rooted phone!

If you are facing issue of device rebooting when remounting /system partition then checkout

the fix

Rooting over a previous root

Hello, I am using the Canadian Samsung GS3 I747M

I understand that it is the same as the At&t version so I used Odin and rooted it last night with clockworkmod. Not sure why but my phone says the root is using about 4gb of space.

I tried flashing CM10.1.2 on my phone (the At&t version of the .zip) but it failed continuously.

I assumed it was because I was out of space on the phone due to clockworkmod recovery.

As I do more research, I am under the impression I may have rooted wrong, I have superuser and root apps work (like rom manager etc) but

I noticed as I tried to flash CM10.1.2, the phone kept writing "missing md5 file" or a variation of that statement.

I saw the xda video on how to root and I was thinking I would redo it and follow that more closely but I am not sure if I can root over top of the current root I have on the phone (is that possible). Or if that is necessary at all. And how I am going to free up the space on my internal storage.

I am purchasing a large micro sd and hoping to put all these rom and root files on that so I don't use up all my internal space. I am unsure how to move clockworkmod recovery to the SD aswell

I apologize in advance if this is posted in the wrong spot.

I'd appreciate any help at all.

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CheateR92:
My advice is when you get your SD card, get the rom on it, "backup on external sdcard" there is option in cwm like this and format the phone. About the missing md5 check the file, it may be corrupted.
[General Questions and Answers] darryl_co:
Hi,

How can one allocate or extend more space for apps installation provided as system storage?

It can be seen that many phones provide 2GB as system storage for app installation and 2GB or more as USB storage for the user to store files.As an USB flash disk can be partitioned I assume the manufacturer must be partitioning memory (not RAM Memory) on the device, I may be wrong but if not than getting the additional space for app installation would be a boon to android users.System storage space is one of the biggest problem for android users.After 2.3 only 4.2 supports move to sd.Android is not a pc that a user can update on his own.One has to wait for the manufacturer or experts to release updates.

Installing a sdcard for file storage is practical and cheap.

Hi I experienced a problem with the XDA IIs despite repeated replacement of a new one. Everytime when it was put on silent mode, with bluetooth off and on standby for sometimes (at least an hour or more without using it), there was no sound heard from the speaker whenever there was an incoming call or when you make a call on the phone. Apparently the otherside could hear me but the sound was very tiny. I think there is a bug in it as it happened in 5-6 new phones that were replaced by the repair centre. Anyone have similar experience before?

I want to be able to delete the currently playing song and skip to the next one from my pebble watch.

I don't really mind which music player to use if this can be done.

I have HTC One, Android 4.2.

So far I got this far:

This talks about using tasker to delete a song and requires a rooted device:

Google: "Long press headset button to delete playing song" (sorry for the "Google" link, I'm a new user and XDA won't allow links)

Also "PebbleTasker" allows linking pebble with tasker.

The thing is my device is not rooted, and I don't want to root it just to find out this doesn't work.

Is there an app/workaround to get this done without rooting ?
