[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Arturofm2:
Hi there, I've just bought the S4 and I made a backup before in my external sdcard, but I'm wandering if I can use that info now... Once I root the S4 how can I have that info back?

I had the twecked version on the Note 2 , is there anything similar on the S4?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EVO-lution of Man:
Some backup apps allow you to restore data between devices. Usually paid ones though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SlakWReX:
Hey I don't have an answer to your question. But I want to know what's the difference you see in the two devices. Do you think the s4 is better and in what way. And how's the battery life compared to three note 2 I've Bern thinking of switching over myself but battery life is so good on the note 2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Arturofm2:
I can't tell you about the battery because I bought it today, however, it depends of the user, I had cpu sleeper and I had a few process that would start automatically with the system + a battery saver app from go and more thngs that kept my battery on the note 2 on for a while. I'm planing to do the same with the S4, if you want in 2 days send me a message to check ;)

Hi.

I have a Vodafone Smart II using the original rom.

The phone is always with low space for install apps. I Root'ed and installed Link2SD and linked all app's i installed and updates to system ones.

Still the phone has low space.and i cant install any bigger app.

The application settings shows me that i have 126mb used and 48 mb free.(1.png)

I analyzed the /data partition with "Storage analizer" to see what was using all that space.

And it shows 36.51mb used 135.49mb free (2.png)

Theres a difference of approximated 90mb.

I dont know much of how android file system works.

Maybe it is used for /cache or for /custpack partition.

Or maybe my flash memory is broken.

Hi,

My phone fell earlier today and i think it may mucked up the screen, see at the attached screenshot, the strip on the left hand side is not working anymore, any ideas on what I should do :confused:
[HTC Sensation] jmcclue:
Your LCD is fine anyway so if it were me i would take the phone apart and check if the Digitizer flex cable is still connected properly, might of come loose after dropping it. If it is still connected and all seems ok then u will prob need to replace the Digitizer.
[HTC Sensation] euqiddis:
hmm, the strip seems to work a few times, then it doesn't respond

Another thing that i have just seen is that when i i go into teh app drawer, it automatically goes to the widget tab, it seems that the screen is constantly being touched where the widget tab is :confused::confused:
[HTC Sensation] jmcclue:
flex cable might just be loose. take the phone apart and check connections, its not that hard, plenty vids on youtube.
[HTC Sensation] euqiddis:
Thanks, I'll give it a go.

I've attached another pic of where the touch seems to be stuck. All I did was tap on the screen.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cafalstrom:
Hi,

First post so if it's in the wrong place, please let me know. I have installed Cyanogen Mods on my Nook Color dozens of times without any problems. Suddenly I began getting errors no matter which ROM I try. Here is an example of my process:

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

Wipe Dalvik Cache

install zip from sdcard

choose zip from sdcard

Choose - cm-10.2-20130824-NIGHTLY-acclaim.zip

-- Installing: /sdcard/cm-10.2-20130824-NIGHTLY-acclaim.zip

Finding update package ...

Verifying update package ...

Installing update ...

E:Error in /sdcard/cm-10.2-20130824-NIGHTLY-acclaim.zip

(Status 0)

Installation aborted.

Does anyone know what is going on and how to fix it?

There is 12 GB of free space on my SD card.

You are flashing a ROM meant for the Nook Tablet onto a Nook COLOR. Nook Color's codename is encore. Sorry, I just have to post the following meme (jokingly of course, no hard feelings?):
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cafalstrom:
separate icertsou

Hi!

I enjoyed the meme. I must have had a brain fart when I wrote Nook Color.

In fact, I do have a Nook Tablet. I have been using the process outlined to successfully install CM nightly builds for months now. I started getting the "E:Error in /sdcard/cm-10.2-20130824-NIGHTLY-acclaim.zip (Status 0)" on the 20130824 release and I have not been able to install a new rom since.

I have no idea even to know where to start troubleshooting this problem.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagirfahmid3:
If you have a tablet, maybe post in the tablet section? This is the Nook Color forum.

Have you tried wiping data/factory reset + wipe cache + wipe system + wipe dalvik cache + wipe battery stats, and then installing the ROM?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cafalstrom:
Can't install CM Nightly ROMs

Hi!

Thank you for the reply.

I will open a new thread in the Tablet Forum.

The process you suggest is the way I have been installing new builds. It has worked dozens of times. Now, whichever ROM I try I get the error unpacking the zip file.

Moving to the Tablet Forum...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usarmyaircav:
I am getting the same issue. went to reboot my nook color, and it wouldn't come up. so I got a CWM 3.0.2.8 image, did a winimage restore to sd card. copied over gummy and cm10.2 for the encore, boot to cwm, go to install either of those two and get the same error Status 0 Instalation aborted, I did a factory wipe, fixed permissions, re-downloaded the gummy rom. Could it be the version of CWM? Any thoughts?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Yes that CWM version is too old. Go to my NC Tips thread linked in my signature and look for the bootable CWM SD version 5.5.0.4. Burn that image to SD and try.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] rmaccamr:
Title sums rant.

Android is Google's operating system, and its not like the majority of developers here are interested in what they can change on their iOS devices.

When people realize the vast improvement their device can take without the added congestion of what mobile networks think you want/are contractually obligated to bloat YOUR phone/device with, they take a different stance on Android completely (at least, I do), and will not move to another operating system UNLESS this hogwash of carrier vs. customer continues.

We purchase the phone, we OWN the phone, as long as we're not doing anything illegal, such as stealing or tampering with Verizon's physical property, WE should be able to customize the software however we want. We're not BUYING the 'software' when we're buying a phone, I'm not choosing to purchase the entire Android experience in its entirety, with absolutely no modified software guaranteed, I'm not choosing to buy the integrated "spy" software or asking for my mobile service provider to collect all this 'anonymous' data so that they can just throw me advertisements or hope I'll ever be interested in paying $2.99 a month for visual voice mail. When you buy a desktop computer, you have the option of removing all of the software components and installing your own on your physical hardware.

Isn't what Verizon is doing technically monopolizing the mobile software industry by forcing a device owner to use specific software that they will not remove? Why not just offer a 'developer edition' line right alongside of the stock phone for a premium? There are already several devices on their network that have exploits and custom software installed on them, so any inclination that their 'security' is at risk, and therefore they forbid unlocked bootloaders is a flat lie, OR wouldn't they be compelled to suspend or terminate service to all those accounts? Why do they get the option to decide which users are allowed to 'break the law' or 'terms of contract?'

I think the only way this issue can ever get resolved is if the software vendor in Google puts its foot into it and demands all carriers allow for an unlocked bootloader. Maybe we all collectively as Google customers should voice our concerns in that direction. Anyone else agree?

True.

HTC needs Verizon but Verizon needs Android.

Google should start saying this is an open platform leave it alone. With 80% android market share Verizon would have to conform.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
I agree, but I think people grossly overestimate the power of this community. If every single one of us stopped buying phones to try and force Google's hand, that would be a loss of like... less than a percent to Google and the manufacturers. The fact is that the very vast majority does not care about unlocked boot loaders and roms and root and s-off. So... I think we will be dealing with these issues indefinitely.

Sent from my HTC One.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ChasedMonkey:
Google is still the company that needs to lay down the law. They make money off of root apps and apps developed on rooted phones, they should be upset that Verizon impliments all these restrictions.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cstrife999:
The only thing I disagree with is the term own. Unless you buy it outright you lease it until your contract is up.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] rmaccamr:
If I had the option of paying $199.99 at a subsidized rate but was forced to have my phone locked down or could pay full price for an unlocked version, I'd be paying full price almost every time, with that infrequent time being that the phone already had an exploit.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cstrife999:
Yea. Sales of the gs4 and one gpe editions were pretty decent based on this principal. Same for the nexus 4 which just dropped the 8gb model to 200... Off contract...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Vidfreek:
I hear ya, I dont understand it either, and the fact that HTC made the phone but has to listen to Verizon in removing the ability to unlock the bootloader? People have already unlocked the phone and its obvious that the phone still can be unlocked but Verizon is allowed to tell HTC what to do with their phone that is also on every other carrier and can be unlocked?

Its a bunch of bull and I wish I could leave Verizon but they unfortunately have the best coverage for me and I get the biggest discount from my job, so I would lose even more if I switched. At least the One is a fantastic phone even with it not being rooted and I cant say that too much about many other phones

Well said, but sadly it is true that both of them will be making money with or without us. The majority of smartphone users barely scratch the surface of what their phones are capable of, even before rooting or jailbreaking. A good amount of people I work with don't even have phones linked to google accounts. Just phone calls and aol mail for them. And they are rocking $300 smartphones with data packages and all.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] zetsumeikuro:

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mykooh:
You aren't leasing a phone. You are getting a subsidized price on the equipment by agreeing to stay with the company for terms of the contact. You own it. You aren't leasing it. You are not obligated to stay with them. You pay a term fee if you decide to leave to make up for the subsidy.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Tangent_:
That's the double-edges sword of open software like Android. The exact same rights that allow us to modify Android to be the way we want it gives carriers the ability to load up their bloatware and lock it down. I think it would be a bad idea for Google to mandate anything simply because it goes against the entire concept of Android being so open. Also it would motivate carriers to find alternatives. As huge as it is in the mobile market, the truth is most people who bought their Android phones bought them because they looked good and had neat features. If those features happen to have the name "Android", "Windows", "Ubuntu", or anything else attached to them makes no difference whatsoever.

If we want this to change we need to directly petition Verizon to stop locking things down. If they don't change their ways we need to be willing to leave them for another carrier and tell them why we're leaving on our way out the door. The reality though - as has been mentioned already - is that we're a very small part of Verizon's user base and don't really have much of a voice. Verizon currently has about 120,000,000 subscribers (Thanks for the correction josh995) in the U.S. (source) The entirety of the XDA Developers user base is 5,426,190, which obviously isn't all Verizon subscribers. We have to count on them taking the concerns of the enthusiasts into account more than casual users. Sure, we're the guys and gals that are more likely to brick our phones and make shady warranty claims, but we're also the guys and gals that buy phones at full price because we want the latest and greatest. We're also the ones that others come to for advice on phones and carriers.

tl;dr - Google shouldn't do anything about this, we need to make ourselves heard by the carriers directly.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] phathernature:
I couldn't agree more. I still have my Verizon Galaxy nexus and will always cherish it. Its ridiculous how difficult unlocking the bootloader has become on Verizon devices. If I didn't have my grandfather data plan I'd be with a different carrier yesterday
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cstrife999:
Actually you are leasing it... You are entering a contract with the phone thus a lease. Legally speaking it is definition leasing. You can't leave without paying an ETF just like you would if you were to breach a lease....
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Yengich:
Yeah, it should be.

I vote +1
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Dark Jedi:
Google only messes with the os aspect while lock down boot loader are on the phone makers and the carriers. If Google tries to strong arm either parties they will just go with a different os like Microsoft. How long has Verizon been without a nexus phone and they seem to be doing quite well without the phone. So see Google did in a way put the screws to Verizon and denied them another nexus device and it did nothing.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] I Am Marino:
Verizon is probably up there in worst companies ever in terms of being arrogant and greedy.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] coltstrgj:
Thank you for disagreeing respectfully. I'm no really used to seeing thought out arguments on the internet so this is really nice for me. I personally disagree with part of what you said, but I am glad that someone is sharing their viewpoint different from the norm. I agree that we have little to no voice, that we should be willing to leave, my contract is up, im just waiting for my dads to be also, then we will move on over to ting or something. I disagree however that google should not take a stand. Apple doesn't let verizon do this bull (It is one of the things on the short list of things I like about them) Nobody has ever bought a droid in the history of time for the free golf game that is uninstallable. If they did want it they could get it themselves. Anything that verizon adds is not adding anything that the users want. I Maybe visual voicemail and verizon music could be a selling point(I doubt it) but there is no reason other than verizon getting money from advertisers that the bloat needs to exist.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] vpxf:
You actually own the phone when you begin a contract so as long as you don't skip out on your bill. What I just said may sound contradicting but in the scenario you were to cancel your plan and pay the termination fee the phone is still yours to keep. You're not paying for the phone you're paying for the service.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] woznet:
You are entering a contract for the service of mobile telephone, texts and data, not specifically a HTC One, Galaxy Nexus or itoy.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
That source isn't saying that Verizon has 290 million customers, it's saying that 290 million people in the US subscribe to cellular service. I just want to clear that up. Verizon has ~120 million subscribers.

Your point still stands, though. And I agree with you 100%
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Tangent_:
Always nice to have a real debate instead of a "You suck!" "No, you suck!" like happens all too often. :p

You're right, Apple doesn't let Verizon do this, but the lack of Apple's walled garden is a pretty strong selling point for Android enthusiasts like us. I totally agree that nobody has bought a Droid for the uninstallable free golf game. On the flip side statistically nobody has ever not bought a Droid because of their uninstallable bloatware. Yeah, there are probably some people in the narrow zone between general consumer that doesn't care and enthusiast that cares, but roots and flashes a new rom anyway that might make that choice, but they're statistically irrelevant. Those lost customers are so few that they're more than offset by the ad revenue or the number of people who sign up for the premium services.

Even if that was a wash, they still have the perk of being able to tell customers "with this phone you can make video calls using this built-in app". You and I know there are free alternatives, but not everyone does or wants the hassle. I work in tech support and the number of people who would rather buy a crappy device because it has a feature baked in vs a great device where you can install it for free is depressing... They automatically and irrevocably go to a mindset where your recommendation for the great device is based on you doing complicated techie stuff they'll never understand, and the crappy device does everything they need.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ccarr313:
The locked boot loader is not google. It is the phone manufacturer. Not to mention.........if you are savvy enough to be aware of these issues, chances are you are savvy enough to figure out how to unlock your bootloader. Personally - i think giving every Joe Schmoe on the planet an unlocked phone would create havoc for the carrier.

Verizon does seem to take it to the extreme, but still, we can unlock our phones. Also - Verizon is pretty damn good about filling warranty requests. I've blown up a couple phones, then reset them to stock and sent them in on warranty and gotten replacements with no issues at all. Can you imagine how many phones they would get due to that if it came with an unlocked bootloader?

I see both sides of the issue, and both have good points. But unless they create a bootloader we cannot unlock, i think it is better to restrict people who do not know what they are doing. Plus, those who are tech savvy can make some money unlocking phones for rubes :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berkeesmer:
Hi!

I have a problem with AOSP Roms. Normally I was able to make call but since CM 10.2 came out, I am not.

After flashing CM 10.2, I had no baseband, no IMEI, no network. When I flash stock Rom, it gets fixed. When I return to CM 10.2, i have the same problem.

I flashed today's "cm-10.2-20130828-NIGHTLY-i9300" and now I have IMEI, baseband. But still, I can't make any phone calls.No signal, no network!

I flashed CM 10.2 on XXEMG6 Rom. Is it because of the new format of EFS? Or what?

Thanks!
