[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] quarian:
Hi anyone experiencing multitouch and/or GPS issues?

My friend is in Canada and just bought one for me. She's coming back to Singapore in 2 weeks and is helping me test it first in Canada. The unit prompted to update when started up which she did. I'm waiting for her to reply me what build it is at now.

I told her to download the Yet Another Multitouch Test and she tried dragging her fingers around. With a single finger a red blob follows her finger around but sometimes a blue blob appears right next to it briefly. With 2 fingers, when she was dragging 2 fingers around a green blob appeared a few cm away once. She did say she noticed sometimes using it normally that it was a bit unresponsive/slow.

For the GPS, I wasn't sure how to test it. I got her to use either maps or GPS Status and Toolbox. The first time she said it looked like the gps fix was ok for 45minutes (in maps). She DID NOT REBOOT and it managed to relock. The 2nd time was on GPS Status 18 minutes. The 3rd time the fix lasted for 19 minutes. But after that one, the 4th time it couldn't find a lock even after waiting more than an hour. She was testing it indoors so I asked her to leave the gps status toolbox on while driving to have a better test. Anyone experienced this? I thought that the GPS issue was such that once you lost the status, you couldn't get it back without reboot. But my friend said the relock was successful at least twice (indoors).

I also told her to try clearing the AGPS data and refresh data using the GPS Status and Toolbox, she will try that later.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] kisrita:
I had the GPS issue that was fixed with a software update. Prior to the update, when I tried to use Waze or Google navigation, it would lose the GPS lock within 15 minutes, often sooner. After the update, I have never lost GPS lock during navigation. My longest drives are about 2 hours. Tell your friend to test it during a long drive, but if you got the software update, you should be all set.

I can't comment regarding the multi touch issue, I haven't noticed any such problems on either of my N7 tablets (WiFi, and LTE), and haven't tested for it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sontjer:
multitouch problem seems very common, since I have read a lot of complaint related to the touch screen, I checked my screen as soon as I got it , and tested with Antutu which is a universal test tool, the result was frustrating as well-- UPPER PART of the screen functions insensitively compared to the lower part. It is a hardware malfunction clearly. What the hell did Asus react to it? We'll wait and see.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] quarian:
Well update..my friend brought the nexus 7 out for a drive. Just a normal journey, not a long one. Am I right in saying the ones with problems cannot relock without rebooting and if mine can relock without reboot it means it's got normal working GPS?

Also, the build (after the initial update) is JLS36C. Which according to this Deb thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2448352 should be the latest I think.
[Android General] StreamingMT:
Hello,

I have changed my ROM a new time for Paranoïd android who is the best for me.

But I don't understand their build numbering:

- First the 3.99 without more info, thus STABLE, yes?

- After the 3.99 RC1

- And the latest 3.99 RC2

Normally it's RC1 -> RC2 -> Stable

Here it's Stable -> RC1 -> RC2

I'm sure something I miss to understand,.

Greatings :)
[Android General] eduds:
RC is release candidate.

Maybe the 3.99 was the first stable confirmed by users then they launched the first RC.
[Android General] StreamingMT:
Good idea!

Thanks :)

When I try to flash the stock hboot it says, "error: cannot load 'PL83IMG.zip' : unknown error" Has anyone else had this problem or have any ideas on how to fix this so I can't get back to stock.

Thanks for any ideas
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
Have you flashed an "eng hboot" ? Or does the bootloader say ship?

If it says ship you don't need to even worry about flashing a different one.

But your problem looks like the file isn't being found by command prompt which means you aren't in the right directory
[HTC Droid DNA] Phaded:
Or you have file extensions hidden, you renamed it and it's now PL83IMG.zip.zip

Hi, I have HTC one Unlocked...

Yesterday HTC "finally" sent me an upgrade to Android 4.3. HTC one started to install this update and at the end HTC one rebooted and stopped on HTC logo and white screen. I don't know what to do. Can any body help me please!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyc5026:
Press power+vol up, and select factory reset.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malshikho:
you mean PRESS POWER + VOL DOWN,

Unfortunately, I did but the same problem..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :No-Frost::
Are you able to get to bootloader?

If you can get to bootloader, then run next command:

fastboot erase cache

**NOTE: Not a 100% sure if the syntax is right, make sure to check if the command is the right one

Then flash a recovery and try to install a rom like Android Revolution or the one that you prefer.

I'm pretty sure that if you run "fastboot erase cache" and install a custom recovery and finally install a customer rom, your phone will boot fine :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyc5026:
Sorry my bad. Try flashing RUU.

hey guys, quick question

I use skype on a regular basis, and normally on the dock, so theres no problem. however, i always have to keep the screen on, which is a pain when im lying down in bed while on skype. thing is, when i turn off the screen, the call automatically gets choppy and eventually disconnected. The wifi sleep setting is already set to never, yet this still happens. any idea what could be happening? Using neutrino 3.02, if it matters.

thanks in advance!

Does anyone use the ATT Uverse app? I am on straight AOSP 4.3 on my VZW GNEX and the streaming of shows through the app doesn't work. I just get a black screen and then an error. Works fine on my wife's stock Moto RAZR M. Just wondering if anyone actually has it working. Must be some kind of codec or player aosp lacks compared to the moto software. Did some searching and Google didn't reveal much. Thanks.

[General Questions and Answers] lindaung:
Hi There,

I'm producing a children's enhanced fixed layout ebook for the iBookStore. I'm in the process of getting some animation done on it. I'm not a developer of any kind and my animator has asked for specifications for when it will be handed over to a developer to make the book. I've been told that we will need to supply 24bit PNG sequences, is this the only format? Or the best format? And how many frames per second does it also need to be? Or a best frame per second for this kind of project. At the moment she is working with 25 fps. Any information would be helpful!

Thank you in advanced.

Regards

Linda
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ExEvolution:
Sprint Galaxy Nexus with CyanogenMod and Franco.kernel. The phone slows to a crawl on many IO requests and I'm not sure why. I tried both row and CFQ and while row is sometimes better about it often times it will be unusable for minutes at a time. I tried to record a video yesterday and the moment I clicked record, my phone froze for 10 minutes and didn't return to normal until I managed to close the camera app. It also happens a lot on chrome, next browser, and stock browser. Are there any utilities to check the storage for errors
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ExEvolution:
I just did a benchmark with AndroBench and my random write is a whopping 0.16MB/s and sequential write is 5.15MB/s with the ROW scheduler

Did another benchmark after changing to CFQ scheduler and Random Write was 0.15MB/s so no real change, sequential write was 4.98

This was all after doing an fstrim which I heard was supposed to help solve these problems, but I don't have benchmarks from before, oh and I have 18GB free
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grognaz:
i had these lags as well, turned out my device did not like francos kernel at all.

and i think i needed a full wipe since franco has some leftovers that dont get removed when flashimg other kernels.

also had to do it with roanager and not twrp... maybe you have the 2nd device that does not like francos kernel....
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] hellot1M:
I got invited to LGs city tour in Seattle where I will be given a G2 for free. But I don't know if I want to give up my HTC one soon. I've only had it a few months. It's been such a great device! Never had a big issue with the low light tint. Everything about the device has always worked flawlessly with me. It's such a beast and I love that it has 2 speakers and they are on the front of the phone. It's came in handy so many times. Basically the HTC one is one of the best handsets out there. In my opinion the best available for sprint.

I'm torn between giving that up next month for the g2. In your opinions what would you do? The specs of the g2 are obviously much better than the one in every way including the battery. But it's also LG. They don't have a great history with high end devices. They released their first one barely over a year ago. It did great. Got rated the highest of it's time. I used to have the device and I loved it. The camera could have been better but with the HTC one having similar specs to the optimus g I clearly chose the HTC one.

Sorry for rambling lol I'm just curious what you guys think.

Additionally: the people over in the optimus g threads are great with getting working leaks way before sprint drops the official OTA. I've noticed with the One it's not as easy as nothing for the sprint version is ever leaked and shared to us here. It's been teased by a few but never shared. LG wins in that area.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Robisgnarly:
I was struggling with this aswell..... i decided to get the one, better build quality, better sound, great devo community. the g2 on the other hand uses triband lte which would be nice while i was working so i could have slightly better lte. however looking at the build quality on the g2 and the back buttons pretty much made my mind up.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Smac7:
I'd go with the G2. The only thing wrong with it is it has a very ugly skin.

I'm an One owner.

g2 has

better camera

faster processor

One has

better build quality (and style for that matter)

better speakers
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Robisgnarly:
cant talk and surf interwebs on g2...... on the one you can. unless your on wifi than with the g2 you can
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] graycorgi:
The One does not have SVDO, unless I missed something.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tkoreaper:
Can only do this while on LTE... just like all the other phones. Very few sprint phones can use 3G and talk at the same time.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] jcwxguy:
I SAY G2, only because its triband lte. that way you are set for the future when smr 800 mhz lte is live in your area and the band 41 lte goes online as well
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] dased14:
if their gonna give it to you for free take it say thank you and sell or give to me;) if you don't want to use it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] pbedard:
LG g2
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] marksedge:
LG 2 sell it pocket money and keep your old trusty HTC one
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] babymatteo:
If can get it free, id take the G2 in an instant. Then keep your HTC one in case you don't like the G2. 13MP w/ OIS and 1080P vids at 60fps is killer.

If the G2 releases before the HTC one gets 4.3, I'm jumping ships. But I'd still keep my One tho.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] steveyg:
I have a BT GPS BLuetooth and an XDA IIi device. I can pair the devices using the standard 0000 code, but it displays with a ? on my device (even though it said pairing sucessfull).

It should also say "this device has serial support, would you like to enable?" however it doesn't display. It worked fine on my Windows 2003 XDA II device, but since I now have the XDA IIi deviece with WM2003 SE it doesn't work.

Could someone please advise, its driving me nuts.

:roll:

Many thanks in advance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mango Polo:
I received yesterday my new tablet, bought from here, Dubai, UAE. I have an issue. It doesn't shut down and restart properly. After I choose to do any of these it turns off like the battery would be plugged off. After it turns back on, the basic apps like Skype, Search, Twitter and a few others which are preinstalled automatically in the ROM they go back to its initial version and the update is erased. Its like a full reset but the account and settings are not touched. I found similar problems on the forums but they get a full reset after each restart and to solve the issue you have to root your tablet and copy the busybox file from system/xbin to system/bin. I did this but it doesnt help. Also I tried to flash a ROM from their official russian website but after it starts verifying the zip an error like

assert failed: !less_than_int getprop ro.build.date.utc

shows up, in the recovery menu. My problem is a bit different.. Its related only to the basic apps which come with the ROM and only the ones who install themselves in the data section not system. Where can I start looking for a solution and do you think these improperly shut downs are related to this? I can even uninstall these apps after restart, but they are put back after the next restart. My tablet is running a 4.1.1 Jelly Bean. Would be thankful if you guys advice me in it. The device is really good, you feel some power inside, but this android system issue makes me crazy.

So why the lg Nexus 4 says 2gb? they say it has 2gb of ram and it shows up as such.

AFAIK, the device maker can opt to choose or not whether that dedicated RAM will be shown to system. Sony opted out. Google with Nexus opted in...

Flip case turns on/off screen when open/close & doesn't cover LED notification light?

I'm thinking about getting this phone. Does this phone have the feature where the screen turns on & off when you're opening & closing a flip cover case? If it's possible then who makes them preferably with a magnetic cover? Lastly, any flip cover case that doesn't cover the LED notification light? The last couple of devices I've had (Google Nexus 10, B&N Nook HD+ & LG Optimus G Pro) has these two features & options so they come in handy.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
I search on the Web and didn't find any. Also I just realized the XZU actually have a magnetometer, but my guess is that it is only for the magnetic charge. I think that if the magnetometer was for turn on/off the screen, almost flip cover would use it (like for nexus 7 and 10). I didn't see anybody mention about the screen turn on automatically when open the cover.

Do you notice more battery drain? Is there an option for vibration & sound with the function enabled? I read a couple of reviews saying otherwise for both battery drain & no vibration or sound option with the function enabled but didn't say which phones had these issues.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Hidden92:
Tomorrow I receive my XZU, I could give it a try with a magnet to see if it works at all using a magnet.

(The magnet works just fine with my Nexus 7 so it should work with the XZU as well if it supports magnets)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Nucking Futs!:
That would be great if you can kindly do that, thanks!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] chorca:
The magnetometer on phones is used for the compass, to see which direction the phone is facing by sensing the earth's magnetic field.

Most auto on/off/dock functions on phones use a hall effect switch in a certain spot to trigger this, AFAIK.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Hidden92:
Ok, gave it a try, sadly it doesn't seem to react to magnets.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Nucking Futs!:
Damn it! Thanks for the confirmation. Would prefer not to use any physical buttons (power, home, etc.) unless I have to. Last iPhone I had a couple of years ago, the home button stopped working but was lucky since it was still under warranty. Been paranoid ever since.

the app is good but it prevent your phone from going into deep sleep, so i would recommend hold off till the dev fixes Sleep mode

re: rooting and recovery

The easiest thing to do is to download the stock/rooted i9505 odin flash rom and flash it.

It is pre-rooted so all you need to do is to odin flash cwm recovery or download goomanager

from play store (free app) to your phone and the latest TWRP recovery with it.

Here is the link for downloading the Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 stock rooted rom:

Hi,

I am new to android, recently bought a Sony Xperia ZL, great device, and I decided to root my phone and try out a Rom. I tried the eXistenz ROM black edition, and it was awesome. However, I tried it while I was at home, using wifi, but this morning I had to head out and tried to use my Data and it didn't work. Tried enabling 4G and LTE, and both options didn't work, the ICONS did not show up at all.

I had to revert back to stock because I urgently needed internet access.

Anyone run into this issue? I tried searching the forum, but no luck.

Not sure if this will help, but I'm on a locked bootloader, model C6506, Android 4.2.2, Build number 10.3.A.0.423

Anyway, looking for any advice so that I could give it another shot.

Toggle airplane mode ON the OFF, now turn Ur data ON.

Thank you for your response. I had tried a combination of that before posting lol. HOWEVER, I did find out the problem. Apparently, with my provider, and the ROM, the APN was removed. I had to add it back in manually. I never ever used an android before, so I didn't know where to begin lol.:eek:

Is there any way to make the htc dialer automatically add the country code (1-xxx) as a prefix to any number I'd like to dial?

Normally I could have 1-123-456-7890 saved as A, however if I dial 456-7890, it won't show that I dialed person A. So it is possible to make the dialer automatically have 1-123 already input whenever I open it?

In middle east some country blocked whatsapp for political unknown reason, where u connectting from?

Or try unable any firewall if exist

You may try proxy or vpn connection.... Serch play store for vpn clients

If you current cell number is blocked from receiving sms from whatsapp services u may try any of those free sms client and get a random free phone number, it should be a number with A US country code, apply to whatsapp setup and receive the sms via the sms app and you are good to go
