So I guess its flash a ROM, cross your fingers and hope everything doesn't say "unknown"? That sucks lol.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I second this.

Some reported that after rebooting several times, everything returned to normal. It is very weird, but in this case the IMEI is not lost, it's just the O/S isn't reading it for whatever reason.

If rebooting doesn't eventually help, you could try using nvrestore. But just about everyone has said an Odin flash back to stock solved it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
I'll have to try rebooting a few times the next time it happens.

Yes going back to stock does resolve the issue. I was going to Odin back to stock (once again), instead I tried restoring from a back and everything was back to normal.

I was just wondering if this common, I will definitely try rebooting a few times the next time. Thanks Doc.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
I decided to flash the ROM again and still had the same issue, went through the setup wizard and rebooted the device and everything went back to normal. Thank you DocHoliday77.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Anytime! Haven't seen him much lately but mt3g had this issue and it seemed that once he ran the reboot nvbackup command, it would fix itself after the first boot, whereas for others he said it was taking several attempts.

I think it was aerowinder that was also in that discussion with us so I credit the two of them for educating me on it. The two of them are usually who I learn the cm/aosp stuff from!
[HTC One Mini] theodorius123:
hey!

I have a problem with my One Mini. I have constant signal dropouts. Phone calls stop after a second, also losing data-connection all the time and always seeing the message "Preparing SIM-card".

It feels like my phone having problems with some mobile-cells. Usually I have to try to call someone 3-4 times, and after 3-4 attempts I can talk normally without getting interrupted after 1-2sec - like my phone found the correct cell or something like this.

I tried

- my second (O2) sim-card

- put some tape on top of the sim-card (solved this problem for people with different phones)

- put some signal-tweaks in my build.prop

- changed network mode (WCDMA/GSM/LTE...)

but nothing helped.

I am on O2-Germany for many years and never had those problems, my One S was working fine (before it got bricked :( )

Had the same problem last month in France...

anyone else having this problem? could this be kernel-related? I'm using JMZ`s kernel. But I guess this is more a radio-problem, or?
[HTC One Mini] dhf9*&Dh884jdk:
I haven't had this issues, in fact, I went camping last weekend and most of the time I was able to get 1 bar when everyone else didn't have service at all. I'm using the AT&T variant on AT&T with the WWE DeOdexed Stock ROM and Jmz's Kernel 09-04-13. I attached a picture of my kernel, baseband, build, ect. I'd suggest making a backup and restoring your phone to stock to see if it's a software issue.
[Networking] Lesane:
Does Anyone know if there is a program that will alert the Desktop PC when a call is incomming? Trough WIFI or Bluetooth.

So that a warning is displayed on the Desktop PC with Caller ID and Photo.

I know this program exists for MacOSx, but is there a program available for Windows (XP)!

Let us Know!
[Networking] muppet_65:
Panda Titanium 2006 (Antivirus + Antispyware) has a limited such function for wi-fi but not for bluetooth. For Bluetooth, if you set it up requesting confirmation , and to connect to paired devices only, you are set to work with your own devices only. If you set it as discoverable, and to request confirmation (code), then it will notify you of a device requesting access.
[Networking] Lesane:
I do not know what you mean.

Do you mean that there's a feature in this program that wil let you recieve incomming call information (like phone number) on Windows OS, trough wifi?
[Networking] Worresch:
Remote Display Control

Remote Display Control

It's form MS and it's free

You can Manage the PDA from the PC :)
[Networking] Lesane:
Yes I know that program, still not the one i'm looking for.
[Networking] q-biq:
Hope someone can do a app for that. Should be awesome to see either on your computer screen or the tv.
[Networking] esee:
good idea anyhow
[Networking] Lesane:
Yeah it is possible, the Jabra company did it, the caller id is send to the bluetooth device, so why not to a Desktop PC...
[Networking] Lesane:
No one??
[Networking] eTiMaGo:
I accidentally did somethign similar to what you are looking for, I paired my Universal to the PC and selected the PC as a handsfree device. When I got a call, a tooltip window popped up in the system tray, but even if I answered from the phone, I could not hear anything, all audio was going through the PC. Something to experiment on :)
[Networking] Lesane:
I'll try that!... in the mean time, no one else with ideas?

Here is a quick video I made to calibrate our Xperia Z Ultra proximity sensor. I have had some issues with my screen not turning on when pulling the device away from my ear. When I applied a screen protector it just wouldn't wake up my device at all.. This fixed it good :victory:

yeah, seems was removed....im on 4.4.4
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cholepuree1:
I just upgraded to 5.0 LP port... and need to re-calibrate m proximity sensor. Not sure how to... There is no calibrate menu
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
You can only do so from old FTF. I think 4.4.2 was the last one to have it in
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mgsfoxhound:
does 5.0 break playstation mobile app?

Im currently running it with android 4.4.4 . thanks for your help guys
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ikomot:
After small deform of my C6833. I needed to calibrate the sensor.

Confirmed that it can be calibrate by fallback to 4.2.

And effective after restoring custom ROM / flashing stock 5.0 ftf

Better flash latest ftf after fallback, NFC firmware was changed.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] vivek.decent39@gmail.com:
I have sensor problem in my z ultra.

When I go through this solution but I didn't find any calibration option in it.

Please advise me
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] itsmeluigi:
The calibrate Menu was last in Firmware 4.2.

You need to downgrade to that.

U can Use Xperia Flash Tool. Find an old Firmware and put in in the Folder at Flashtool.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] avengedfo7ld:
I have had my HTC One for 25 days now. I am not rooted and completely stock.. I was listening to Pandora at work with phone plugged into my work laptop. My phone reset itself and wouldn't go past the Verizon splash screen. Not wanting to lose my photos of my kids, I took the phone to a Verizon store and had them check it out.. they attempted a fast boot and asking them phones recovery which led to being stuck at the Verizon splash screen. Finally the tech factory reset my phone losing all of my photos and the phone made it to the lock screen only to reset when unlocking the lock screen and then freezing again at the Verizon logo on the splash screen. My phone also won't power off. It has been stuck on on the splash screen the past 5 hours. Verizon said there was nothing they could do in store.. anyone have any ideas on getting the pone back to normal? I've had zero problems prior to this and loved my phone thanks
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] one4thewings:
They really sent you out of the store with a non-functioning phone? What the hell are you supposed to do? Call HTC?

Not that it helps you now, but create a Dropbox account or allow the auto-upload to Google. I don't want to risk being in a similar situation so I have my photos auto-upload when I'm on Wi-Fi to minimize the chance of something like that happening. Sorry man. I wish I had something to offer that might help.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] avengedfo7ld:
Normally I have dropbox setup to auto save my photos, but I hadn't set it up on my HTC yet. The guys at Verizon kept trying to reset the phone, and finally, they were ready to have a phone sent to me tomorrow, but yeah I'm without a phone until tomorrow afternoon.. They said that the store doesn't handle replacement devices, and that a replacement has to be ordered. I decided to wait and go home and use my wife's S4 to call Verizon and HTC and see if there was any other way to get the photos off the phone, but unfortunately, no one at either tech support could figure out the issue with my phone and the Verizon rep at tech support says that since these phones are mass produced, sometimes things like this happen. I guess the point of my thread was to alert people of the importance of backing up your photos with this phone, and any other information of importance. Also, I'm excited to get my HTC one back tomorrow, the Verizon rep on the phone was also very nice and tried to request a brand new phone instead of a refurbished unit, but was unable to do so. He said that likely, due to the newness of the phone, that the phone may be brand new anyway. I guess I will find out after work tomorrow. Hopefully I get a nice new One tomorrow, and the first thing I will be doing is turning on the auto-upload feature and the Dropbox sync.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Pete450:
That stinks, sorry to hear that happened. Let us know how it turns out, and whether you got a refurb or not.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] rmaccamr:
That's definitely a con to this phone. In some situations, a battery pull can relieve problems sometimes.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] avengedfo7ld:
Got a refurbished HTC one from Verizon disappointed its not new. Slight gap near the power button but nothing too bad seems to be working great so far.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
damn I was hoping we'd get refurb phones from HTC, I don't think I want Verizon taking apart this phone personally.

Idk as long as it's put back as well as the first, no complaints here.

I'd jsut send it back until one came that is perfect.

I've sent back I think it was 4-5 htc rezounds refubs before I got a good one.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nrfitchett4:
damn, refurbs already? That didn't take long.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
just hold power for ten seconds.. or power and volume down.

easier than a battery pull, IMHO.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] FdeKlerk:
Just keep calm .

So i recently forced mu htc to get stuck at verizon with xposed module.

And got a working solution, as the phone gets stuck just run:

1. adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.DELETE -d package:com.package name

2. adb shell pm uninstall -k com.package name

witch the package would be the latest apk you have installed it, it will give you errors cant not find or access.

just let is go on and then it goes ON worked for me.

Hope it works fir the next guy with the same problem.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] cmlusco:
Xposed puts a flashable disabler zip on your sdcard (Exposed_Disabler_Recovery.zip). All you have to do is boot into recovery and flash it. That will dissable the exposed framework, and all related apps.
[General Questions and Answers] TheBoringEarth:
I'm trying to update my touch panel (Synaptics, (JB 4.3)) firmware using AT command.

It takes hell lot of time, when compared to the same operation via a UI menu for the same purpose.

Code flow in both the scenarios are the same except for the initiation part. Could not find any suspicious logs from the UART, which is causing this delay.

Any suggestions?

If we dont get an offical update,the Only possible thing we could do is port Samsung's 4.2.2,but it's hell of a job. And i dont understand why would someone even want that,Touchwiz is the stupidest and most bloated thing in whole android industry,followed by Timescape and sense and such. Use CyanogenMod,that's real android power,not stupid manufacturer-bloated roms. We should concentrate on cracking the bootloader and porting AOSP and CM10.2. Then we will see the true power of our phone.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiKDMoNKY:
My lower microphone stopped working and I contacted Tmo about it and they sent me a replacement phone. The power button on the replacement didn't have a click to it, it was soft and did not work most of the time and the screen had a yellowish or orangish tint to it compared to my original One. I contacted them and I sent back the replacement and they sent me another. This one seems functional button wise, but has the same yellowish/orange tint to the screen.

Are they replacing them with crappy screens or are they like that new? I really hate to give up my pristine phone (minus the broken mic) with a sharp bright screen (compared to the replacements) for some refurb with a sub par screen. I also have the extra warranty on it so that I can get a brand new one for $135 or something, but I am concerned no matter what I am going to get the crappy screen and have to pay for it. Whereas I can swap mine for a new/like new one from warranty? Is it possible to swap the screens? Can I send it to HTC to have them fix the mic? I can live without the phone for a week or two (have my old Sensation 4G). Having my original phone rooted, S-off, Super CID, running ARHD 20.x wouldn't have an affect on the screen color would it? It currently has 4.12 on it and my orig phone is running 4.3.

Thanks in advance!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiKDMoNKY:
I am on the phone with HTC now and he says that if the bootloader is unlocked, the warranty is voided. He put me on hold to see if I will be wasting my time sending it to them.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiKDMoNKY:
Well that plan is out the window! He said he could not be sure if it would be covered, but he felt like they would not fix it and return it as soon as they saw it was unlocked on HTCDev.

Ok, so back to swapping screens...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altimax98:
TBH I had the exact same thing happen. My camera started having black spots and I got it replaced. I'm on the third one now and its a little yellower than mine but there isn't a single seam. So I said screw it, once the N5 comes out I am selling and upgrading to it. Thought about the G2 as well, but I'm not sure.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
Sometimes the yellow tint is from the glue and it gets better after about a week of use. Some are just yellow though. How I know this is I had two ones. My black one was a lot more yellowish when I first got it to my silver one. I had read that sometimes it's the glue that causes it and after use it will become whiter. I was skeptical but I wanted to see of I could see any difference. To speed up the process I got one of those dead pixel apps that cycles though different colors really fast. I plugged the phone in and ran it for about 4 hours.

My results shocked me. My black one after that had a much whiter look to it and now my silver appeared to be more yellow compared. So in the end my black one ended up being brighter and having whiter whites.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aooga:
They dont even look at that if the problem you are having has NOTHING to do with anything that unlocking the bootloader could possibly break. If you bricked your phone, then they check. I'm not guaranteeing that they do, but they say that it "MAY" void your warranty. For example, if your power button stops working, then they dont care. Same with your case. Unlocking the bootloader has nothing at all to do with the screen being yellow.

This happened on the iphone 5 as well. I think they're just newer units.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiKDMoNKY:
I am giving the stuck pixel app a shot now. Hopefully it will whiten it up the screen! I will report back later about whether it helped or not.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exocetdj:
if you are insured, u could always smash the sh#t out of it and claim for a new one lol!!!! ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiKDMoNKY:
But if I opt for the insurance, I may still get a phone with a yellowish screen. Then I just spent $150 to get a phone I could have gotten for free through warranty.

[LG Optimus G (International)] gabohXD:
Hello XDA members, this time I'm writing to all of you to tell you something that happened to my Optimus G E987 from Claro Argentina, also, to ask you something related to the topic.

I bought this phone about 4-5 months ago, and I have taken really good care of it, without using any film protection or case, it was working perfect and with not a single scratch on it, not even a little hit.

But then, some days ago, I decided to "protect it" a little bit, so I got one of this:

htt-p://i[dot]imgur[dot]com/YtgK1aS[dot]jpg

htt-p://i[dot]imgur.com/la1kI5e[dot]jpg

(Sorry, I'm new to this forum so it won't let me post links)

I used it like.. dunno, 3-4 days. One night, my phone was on 53% battery, to lazy to charge it so I just let it like that. Next day I gave it some use, so it dropped to 33% of battery life, I had to go work so I turned it off. When I finished, I tried to turn it on again, but nothing happened, tried more times and nothing, then I noticed I liiiitle light in the screen, the phone was turned on, but with REALLY low visibility, almost everything black but with a little of sight.

I though it was just a battery problem, so I charged it, but to my surprise, nothing happened, well something did happen, the little bit of sight that I had just went full black with no visibility. I noticed that the touch screen and buttons actually worked, I could "easily" navigate through the phone by just using it as normal, but without seeing (you can do this by just knowing your phone a bit).

And that's the story, basically, after using that case, the phone "casually" stopped working properly, all I got was a functionally phone with a black screen.

I managed to connect it to my pc through wifi and launched Android Screen Cast, to see what was happening on my phone. The glow was at 100% (I tried changing it) and everything seemed normal.

If you don't want to read, here is a TL;DR

>Bought Magnetic* Flip Stand Leather Wallet Case for Optimus G

>Some days after, phone screen stopped working (phone was still normally working, just with a full black screen)

About the Magnetic thing.. is there any possibility that this was the problem? the magnetic thing?

Btw, I sent the phone to tech service because it was still on warranty and they have me a new one, now I'm scared of putting it again in the leather case I bought, I don't want this to happen again.

Something to comment? hope you can give me some advice, thanks in advance!
