[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluesteve3:
I recently purchased a used Nexus 4, Factory unlocked and sim free 16gb. Android v4.2.2

I unlocked the bootloader, rooted it and installed TWRP however i left it at that, i did not change ROM's or kernels.

After noticing that the phone did not function correctly i decided to return it to its factory state and return it to the store.

This is where my problems began....

As i had used a toolkit to unlock bootloader, root... etc.. i used the same one to undo the things i had done.

First i relocked the bootloader.

Then i tried to unroot but came across an error that i had to have bootloader unlocked to unroot.

so i unlocked the bootloader again.- it wiped the system

Then i tried to unroot,

but i had to have usb debugging enabled which meant i had to boot into the freshly wiped system.

So i went ahead and attempted to start the phone normally.

After about 5-10 mins on the Google screen it would finally move onto the X slash screen.

after 20 or so minuted the on that screen the phone would get extremely hot and still wouldn't boot.

I looked up online for solutions and one said to wipe dalvik cache in recovery

Did that- No luck

Another said to wipe cache

Tried to do that:

Cannot mount cache error message in TWRP

I then tried to restore a nandroid backup from TWRP, Still the same problem.

I even resset factory settings, nothing.

So i figure that the cache partition became messed up and therefore the phone couldnt boot into OS.

Luckily the store had given me a warranty which apparently covered whatever was wrong with the phone.

However, this time i am planning on purchasing a new nexus 4 this time strait from Google and am wondering:

What could have caused this problem? - Could it have been the fact that for a brief moment the phone was rooted while having a locked bootloader, messing something up (the cache partition maybe)?

Is/Has anyone ever experienced a similar problem?

How can people ( like me) avoid this problem/ issue?

Also as i mentioned the phone itself had several minor faults which was the reason i decided to return it to its original state, could this have been another hidden fault that particular phone?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksilver89:
One of the very reason why toolkit is not recommended for people who are not familiar with the process. When the toolkit decides to mess up, it leaves behind a bricked phone with no obvious function to undo the mistake.

Q. What could have caused this problem?

A. I don't know what the toolkit does to unroot your phone, technically "unroot" is to remove the superuser/supersu apk and su binary from your phone. This process can be done with a locked or unlocked bootloader.

Why? Because a locked bootloader only prevent anything to be written to your emmc block in the bootloader mode. However when you have custom recovery installed, you can do these modification in recovery mode even with a locked bootloader.

All process that you have described above will not brick your phone, some commands that you use with the toolkit unknowingly bricked it.

For Nexus devices, you can always go to this website to download the factory image for Nexus 4 and flash it with fastboot. Or flash with the toolkit, if you absolutely have to use it.

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Q. Is/Has anyone ever experienced a similar problem?

A. There are people bricking their phone with toolkit everyday, so your answer is yes.

Q. How can people ( like me) avoid this problem/ issue?

A. Learn the fastboot and adb command, it's not a lot to learn, might only take 5 minutes, or 1 hour in worst case. I don't blame toolkits, because I believe the toolkit is made for good purpose, to simplify the process, to speed things up. But certainly not made for noobs.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluesteve3:
Thank you for your very quick and detailed response. I have used fast boot commands on my previous Android, so I know the basics, just need to adapt my knowledge to the nexus. Will have to brush up on fast boot and read up on adb.

If this was to have happened on a phone that I had brought directly from google would it have been replaced by google?

Also if I was to send back a phone to google for what ever reason, would I need to unroot and uninstall custom recovery as well as locked the boot loader or would it be enough to only lock the boot loader?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Czechnolog:
No GPS coordinates in photos

Guys, I need your advice.

I am travelling with turned-off cellular data on my i9100 since I am abroad.

I am taking pictures - a lot of pictures. But I just found out that app. 90% of them do NOT have GPS coordinates.

I tried everything:

- checked settings

- restarted phones

- connected to WIFI

- installed GPS Config for rooted phones and set up the location

- flashed ROMs (AOSP, AOKP, MIUI, stock ROMs).

BUT nothing helped. I think that something is wrong with my phone.

Why? Because iPad Mini + iPhone 5 captured GPS coordinates IMMEDIATELY. I mean in 1 second!

The strangest thing is that Navigon gets GPS position really fast on i9100, but it cannot navigate me - it is waiting and connects after app 2 mins.

Thanks for help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Czechnolog:
It looks like that stock-based ROM are better - if you wait app. 1 minute, it gets GPS data to your photo.

Good ROM is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2411990

Otherwise, it is still bad that you need to wait to get the GPS fix.

iPhone really gets it in 1 second.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
So buy an iPhone. I've never had GPS problems with the S2 provided I regularly clear then update the ephemeris data (which is basically the position of the satellites at different times/in different locations; in GPS Status - tools/manage A-GPS state - reset data then download new data), and then put the phone in flight mode (obviously with GPS on) & stand outside with good line of sight in all directions to enable it to 'learn' where the satellites are for 5 minutes or so/until you get a good fix. This has always enabled me to get a fast/accurate fix for a couple of weeks until the ephemeris data gets old, then I repeat the process.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Czechnolog:
I do have iPhone 5 :) ... that is why I could have compared the GPS results.

How do you reset "ephemeris data"?

I tried GPS config for ROOTed phones, but it does not help.

(I set up the country in the settings.)

Generally speaking - if I am in my country, there is no problem.

BUT: Once I am abroad and have cellular data turned off, then I cannot get GPS in my photos.

I tried about 10 ROMS - but all are the same ===> no GPS if you take photos when you are abroad.

Hey everyone,

This is weird and I have not found anyone with the same problem on the net. My phone glass is not cracked but their is something leaking at the top left corner of the screen. It started just a little but but now it has gotten bigger. It almost looks like a silver substance and it is leaking beneath the glass.

Has anyone seen this before? What could be wrong?? Phone is working fine...

Any Ideas??

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NCSUZoSo:
So I know 4.3 added TRIM support for Android devices and my question is about my new (old) Nexus 7 (2012). Does the device need to be in a sleep state in order to use TRIM? Will I get less of the slow downs a lot of people with Nexus 7 who bought them at a launch complain about since I bought my Nexus 7 about 3 weeks before 4.3 hit?

Off subject topic, is there a undisputed winner when it comes to best ROM for the Nexus 7? I am running the N7 rooted on the Franco Kernel with TWRP bootloader. Also I am having issues figuring out anyway to use these commands from Franco's thread:

Can anyone with Franco's Kernel explain to me where I need to type this in? I have tried the Android SDK from Windows in the Platform Tools and Android Tuner's Terminal Emulator, neither of them know what cat is in the command.

As a side note, if anyone could tell me how to get Poweramp to play directly from a USB drive hooked up by an OTG cable, I'd appreciate that too :D

Edit: I figured out my fix for PowerAmp, it was to use StickMount Pro instead of Nexus Media Importer. Now I can see my entire 32GB thumb drive in PowerAmp :D
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farmerbb:
The device has to be asleep for at least an hour, and with >80% battery if off charger (>30% battery if charging), in order for the TRIM commands to run.

From my experience, the device will be quite a bit snappier with normal use after the TRIM commands run, but I still do get major slowdowns with I/O operations such as updating apps.

Discussion about "which is the best ROM", etc. is generally discouraged around here, but you can't go wrong with the big-name ROMs like CyanogenMod or Paranoid Android. I personally just use stock w/root, it's good enough for me :)

You can use "Android Terminal Emulator" from the Play Store, but it's much easier to just use the official franco.Kernel Updater app to change the GPU speed.

Welcome to the forums, and if my post helped, don't forget to hit that thanks button ;)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NCSUZoSo:
Thanks for the info, but I am unable to change any frequencies inside of the paid official Franco App. Franco has not added CPU overclocking functionality yet and the GPU must be done through a command (both pieces of info listed by Franco himself in the official thread). I'm wondering if I have to make a script to run after I find my stable GPU OC, because I am guessing the clocks will try to reset to stock after a reboot if I just type in simple command.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irevhard:
enable elywdst

I'm also new here but I've used franco r75 kernel. R75 doesn't support gpu oc as of yet. That's why you can't change it with the app or with the command.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farmerbb:
Yeah I haven't used franco.Kernel since upgrading to 4.3, but back on 4.2.2 you could easily select which GPU frequency you wanted to use inside the frequencies/voltages section of FKU. Once Francisco reimplements GPU OC then it should show up again inside the app, and the terminal command should work again as well.

When I registered my new Nook HD+ it adopted my wife's name as the primary user. Apparently this cannot be changed. Can anyone here verify that a full factory reset erases the primary user profile name? I do not want her name on the device.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
If you meant "erase and deregister", yes it will remove her name. But if you register again with B&N using the same email address, her name will come back. You must register using a different email if you want your name on it.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wb8nbs:
Got it

Thanks. I took a deep breath and reset to factory default. Then changed the email on the BN account to a different provider. It still came up with my wifes name. Next, established a clean new BN account under my name and a different email provider and reset again. That time it worked. Now busy rebuilding the Nook as I had it configured.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barmalei7:
I think it's could be not so easy, as it looks like.

I'm not sure, it's not confirmed, but I have a report from user who says his Nook was blacklisted after (he said:) "just erase and deregister from a device itself".

So, in order to make a pure reset, you probably have to login to your wife's B&N account, goto Manage My Nook, select a device and Deregister it.

It will delete all of the books purchased on this account, and you will be able to legaly register a device after that.
