I recently flashed CM 10.2 over stock 4.3, and now this massive amount of space is taken up http://i.imgur.com/LQ7HFmk.png

The way I did it was by going in to TWRP, factory resetting from there, flashing CM and gapps zips, clearing all caches, then booting in to the fresh system

Now, I barely have any space available, where I used to have the majority of storage free

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
how many backups do you have? generally, thats the culprit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pirateghost:
Looks like probably cwm backups.

Where does Google music store its offline files?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matt08642:
I had no TWRP backups, nor have I ever used Google music.

I nuked the whole install, flashed stock, then flashed CM over it and I now have 12GB free again!

I was using CWM 6.0.1.5, then i have decided to switch to TWRP, some idiot posted wrong recovery.img of TWRP 2.5.0.0

I have installed the TWRP recovery using my PC, and then when the phone rebooted I lost my dual sim networks.

getting Invalid IMEI for both the SIM's, Unknown baseband.

SIM's are only working with STOCK ROM, If i try to flash any other custom ROM SIM's are not working.

I am now using twrp recovery. It works but only with stock ROM. If I port any other custom ROM getting invalid imei and unknown baseband

I am working on stock ROM, As soon as I switch to another custom ROM i loose IMEI and BaseBand...

Please help.

I don't know if anyone has tried this but I am able to watch Hulu+ and Google Play movies on CROMI-X. I created a symlink from /vendor/lib.org to /vendor/lib and was able to watch both with no problems. There was still no HD on Google Play but at least I could watch the movies I had previously purchased. If you chose Google Movies when installing, you do the opposite.

I hope this helps someone.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Interesting. I will need to test this. Did you just symlink the folder?
[Asus Transformer TF700] wrynn7:
Yes, I chose the Hulu option when installing CROMI and symlinked the folder. I also tried copying everything from /vendor/lib to a new folder /vendor/lib.org and that worked as well.

Btw I've been using CROMI and love it. Thanks for your work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jt1998:
what's a symlink and how do I make one? Installed google play and would like to watch Hulu movies if possible.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wrynn7:
You don't have to make the symlink. Using a file manager like ES Manager go to the /vendor folder. Create a new folder named "lib". Then go into the lib.org folder, select everything in the folder and copy it to the lib folder you just created. You should then have both a /vendor/lib and a /vendor/lib.org folder. Both folders should have the exact same files and folders in them.

Using a symlink just prevents having two sets of the same files in different folders. It's kind of like a shortcut in Windows.

hi all

i have spent almost 2 days for an answer , no luck

my problem is

my phone s3 lte . screen turns of as soon as i obstruct the front camera and the 2 sensors area . it was ok before , since few days it started doing this . now i cant take screen shot pictures by moving my palm across the screen for example , not sure what this is due to

any help please .?

You've posted in the wrong section, questions go in q&a section -those for the i9305 stand more chance of a reply that won't brick your phone in the special q&a for LTE phones.

Report your own post and ask for it to be moved.

Having said all that, you've probably got a corrupt framework or a hardware fault. Flash a fresh official stock rom after a factory reset to test. If it's still the same then send for repair.

Screen Blanks out on Galaxy tab

I ran this test and your screen is only supposed to change color from white to green during the test. My screen blanks out completely during the test.

Not sure if the sensor is bad or if it is a software or and OS issue yet.

you tube.c om /watch?v=N8G6ksaciho

Need advice.

I just received a SM-T705Y, KitKat. When I am in only some applications not all, the screen shuts completely off when my finger passes over the two sensors/camera near the word "SAMSUNG" at the top of the device. I have tested the cause and done it repeatedly by putting a small piece of black electrical tape on the sensor.

With the tape on the sensor, the screen never shuts off. The screen then will come back on several seconds after I remove my finger/tape from the sensor. Also, I do not have to actually touch the sensor to get the screen to turn off. But it activates the lock screen when it does turn off. ANNOYING !!!

My SM-T705Y is not rooted. It is in developer mode.

I think its the sensor that turns the screen off when you take a phone call is still stuck on ???

I have the phone proximity sensor turned off in: Settings> When I'm the phone screen The screen stays on.

Auto adjust screen tone : ON

Auto brightness is off

I have the "Smart Stay" turned off in: Settings>Device>Display.

Screen timeout set to 10 minutes. Screen mode set to "AMOLED Cinema"

I have restarted, not rebooted the SM-T705Y

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
The proximity sensor is located there. That's why you have that issue. It's normal behaviour.

If you are trying to turn the screen off during calls there is an option to do so in either calls settings or display settings.

If you move the phone away from your head it will turn the screen on. It's a proximity sensor, thats its job!.

Beamed in by telepathy.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maruj:
Fix

I have same problem with my samsung and I fix it!

Just close all recently used app (press button next to menu button and close all) and you will have normal screen..... Looks like some app, especially call app make problem and activating proximity sensor. So one more time close all recently used app, press button next to menu button and close all app....

Good Luck!

Generally, i suggest to use ROMs from XDA only, except for CM/MIUI official website. The risk is real! Thanks to [MENTION=4574921]MidnightDevil[/MENTION] for his help and his time :)

I suggest to read this thread to all the users!
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
Thank you for your support :)

If anyone has suggestions / knowledge about this sort of matter please share :)

There's a LOT of info that I tend to post on this thread in a way to educate / share knowledge with everyone.

Trusting the developers and sources is the first step for prevention. Be careful with dodgy websites and roms which you don't know about.

Scanning the rom zip file with a virus scanner is useless in this matter.
[HTC Sensation] phearell:
Unknown Rom

The threat is over when a secure rom is installed (after using a none xda rom) ??
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
So far there isn't malware which persists after full wipe. Can't speak of the contents of the sdcard tho. But usually yes. But then you have the apk's which can contain malicious code and so forth...

Those apps are usually banned from the PlayStore, but there's a short window between published / report / removed from Store which users can download it.

Unless I didn't understood your post :)
[HTC Sensation] astar26:
AFAIK google also scan apps installed on the device. When installing a 3rd party app (not via Google Play), you get a prompt to allow google to scan it anyway for malicious content.

Also, there are a couple of anti-virus apps available from well known companies such Avast for android, and also from AVG.

I never really tried those, but they might help protecting your device. However I doubt if they scan system apps/services, for in most cases they are supposed to be safe (from the OEM itself).

It is well known that the biggest security hole is the user. So the best thing to do is to keep away from unknown ROMs/sources.
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
No doubt the biggest flaw usually comes from the end user.

But answering your statemente about anti viruses.

Usually anti viruses (specially in portable devices) act base upon a database of known signatures

and

suspicious behavior. They provide no protection against a custom developed script or code with a work-around for this behavior. Basically - avoids behaving like a malware.

A code is considered malicious when acts upon suspicious behavior (for example, on windows - when an app registers itself on registry autorun / startup folders / tries to load a file on temp directory / temporary internet files, hooks itself into a process / uses a windows process to deliver it's payload faking a signature, etc etc). Knowing this, any custom app / script that avoids suspicious behavior / does not have a present signature on a AV database and a few more details - all doors are "open" and is a highway to hell.

Google scan engine uses the same mechanism, in fact, I'm not even sure if it has any sort of protection against suspicious behavior as it only executes upon apk install.

Believe me, the biggest flaw is the user as the best protection is also a well educated user. It's a matter of knowing what can do and what should avoid. Fear or suspicion is an important thing these days, as they prevent us from making mistakes as installing an app from a dodgy site. We should know better.
[HTC Sensation] astar26:
I just remembered of an app called "Who is tracking" (was featured on the portal a while ago), that also scans system files (bloatware) and tells you which app tracks you. tried using it a while ago, but didn'y really try to understand it, and it seems to have changed since. will try it myself.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Agreed with Patcha, unless you 100% trust the source (CM/MIUI are well known and if they did something untrustworthy a massive ****storm would ensue) then I would stick to ROM's posted on XDA (though frankly I avoid MIUI out of moral principle #SouceCodeMuch?). Anything untrustworthy that is posted on XDA is picked up very quickly and dealt with effectively.

More to come from me on this, I need to organize what I want to say so it doesn't sound like a mad persons ramblings :p

Edit: A thing to look out for in google play store is the permissions, READ THEM, read what they mean, read what permissions the app requests and if you don't know why an app needs that permission or if it looks dodgy (like the permission to send sms messages without the user knowing) then for God's sake don't use the app util you've found out what the app needs that permission for (quick google search or email to the developer). Don't just blindly agree to all the permissions without reading them.

These permissions are declared by the developer in the Android_manifest.xml file and pulled from there when publishing the app on play store. As far as I am aware, there is no way to fool this system - you can't edit the visible permissions through the developer panel of play store, only by editing the manifest - I have a developer account on play store so this I am 100% sure on.
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
Yup, very true. Something I forgot to mention earlier and is VERY important.

Always check the permissions and what for the permissions are used. Some good developers write what for they need the permissions. Some things are obvious, others not so quite.

Also reading the comments of an app helps as well. More experienced users tend to write a more complete review and sometimes they draw the attention to things that sometimes other users miss. About permissions or anything else.

Any user can write a review, so if you find something important, you can also write in the review. Just make sure you don't underrate an app because of a doubt :)

Usually developers also have their contact email in case of doubts, it can be used to to bring some things to light.

Hi, I'm bumping this one.

I have the same problem. Tried Battery Calibration but 100% shows 4mV and 5 mins later is 64% and 3mV.

Can you explain this solution in deep, please? When you say "wipe everything" you mean getting into Recovery Mode and wiping Dalvik and whatnot? I'm not sure what ICS is either.

Thanks a lot!
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayc137:
Well

The stock GB ROM always showed me 3mv/4mv in battery stats

Other ROMs viz. CM7/9/10 always showed me something on 3xxx/4xxx

Also try doing this

Discharge completely

(After phone auto-shutdowns keep switching it on until it refuses to boot)

*** Try only on ROMs with offline charging ***

Then charge it to 100% and use the NOBOL method by zepperlinox (No battery on logo method )
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brgil96:
Hi,

I'm having the same problem with a (new) battery that I've used for 3 months. Even tho it shows thats charged (sometimes as much as 90%), the phone will randomly turn off. Battery Calibration app reads only 3mv for some reason. With my other battery the phone runs perfectly normal (even tho with a big discharge rate since the battery is like over 3 years old).

To perform this, do i really need to install ICS? I'm currently using GingerBlurB V5 (CM7) and I don't want to backup/restore etc
