Yes everyone now knows that unlocking the bootloader breaks camera, but strangely not with the elves and t-rex stuff, as I was still able to take pictures as long as those filters were on. I just clicked on the t-rex picture in the widget. I really think this is a bug and not related to sony software or else why would pictures of t-rex on my desktop computer still work? running the.34 uk unbranded firmware on C6903.

Also worth noting, I forgot to yank my 64gb micro sd card, and it isn't erased.

Please how can i bring back camera fonctionality with my unlock bootloader no backup ta partion .
[Xperia Z1 General] kashppo:
Don't know if there is a way but as a warning to everyone else, you should always backup your TA partition before messing around with the bootloader. In fact, it's so easy, that you should back it up even if you don't.
[Xperia Z1 General] Rekoil:
Impossible for now, Sony are aware of the problem though, they will likely sort it out soonish.

Ok ! Thank's for replying !
[Moto X Q&A] Srepoleved-Adx:
Does anyone know if any future ROMs will be able to incorporate some of the more useful Moto X features (Active Display, Touchless Controls, Motorola Control/Assist)? I love CM10.2 and all the features it has and being able to utilize the X8 chip to its full potential would be the icing on the cake. This is actually the only issue I have before deciding on a new phone. Thanks!
[Moto X Q&A] joshnichols189:
AOSP roms probably will not have those features as they are not a part of AOSP. Roms based off of Motorola builds will.
[Moto X Q&A] Srepoleved-Adx:
Are there roms based off Motorola already or are they still in the works?

Hi,

I am running 4.3 in nexus 4. This morning I updated the Gmail app update available on google play store. Just after the update, I opened gmail and I was asked to auto sync my account for email updates. I clicked yes. And just after that, my phone rebooted. And since then the phone has been rebooting like crazy. It's been 2 hours already and it's still rebooting.

Can somebody please help me how to solve this issue..

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihahn:
Press volume down and power for more than 15 seconds and you will see the Google logo again and hope it restarts :)

If not, did you enable usb debugging and could you give us a logcat?

And are you on stock rom and kernel? Or custom rom? Root and bootloader unlocked?

Hey guys,

so I've just sold my nexus 4 phone since want to buy the next version.

in the mean time I was thinking that I have a verizon galaxy nexus phone that I'm not currently using (it has the last nightly version of CyanogenMod 10.2)

I know that this is a LTE-CDMA phone but may there is something that can I change to let me use it with AT&T sim card..

Im sorry in advance if this is soo newbie question, but I had to ask it.

thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyco2008:
No.

What jimmyco2008 said. No GSM/UMTS radio on board. Band 13 LTE only. Maybe you can take it to another CDMA carrier and use it as a 3g-only phone.

[Moto X Q&A] DrUnsped:
Trying to decide between the g2 and the moto x, have a g2 currently. One of the things I have seen touted with active display is that you can just pull it out of your pocket and it will show notifications. One thing I do a lot is check the time on my phone; the question is if I don't have any notifications and pull the phone out of my pocket will activedisplay show me the time or something? or will it only show up if there are waiting notifications. The moto x power button seems pretty small and doesn't have that much travel so seems like it might be a pain to try and hit all the time to check the time.

Thoughts?
[Moto X Q&A] theraffman:
Yes, regardless of whether you have notifications or not the screen "turns on" when you pick it up, flip it over our remove it from a pocket... I probably only hit the power button 5 or so tints a day to turn it on and that's mainly from muscle memory... Still use the power button to put it back to sleep on most occasions. Coming from an sgs3 it's no more difficult to press on the moto x.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] forpulse:
Hi guys, so I recently acquired the AT&T HTC one and it is on 4.1.2. Today I decided to root it because I wanted to get the 4.3 update. So what I did was followed a youtube video by QBKing and went through all the HTCdev.com steps and all. Installed TWRP and flashed SuperSu 1.25. This is where I stand currently. Now, I have never owned a HTC device before and I've been reading lot of things about S-ON/S-off and I feel like I somewhat have an idea of what its for. My question is Can I just install a stock 4.3 rom through twrp recovery with S-ON or can I even install Android Revolution HD rom based off 4.3 update with S-ON. Do I need to worry about it? I've read a lot of information today and just confused. I am a n00b since I'm switching over from iPhone. From where I stand (4.1.2 stock), how would I get to a stock 4.3 rom is basically what I want to know and what is required to get there.

Thanks in advance
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] clsA:
Get s-off next ...later update's to the phone break the ability to get s-off so do that first.

Firmware update is not mandatory, but recommended (better touch driver for one thing, better radio too). On AT&T I recommend CleanRom 6. It's already Android 4.3 also and uses the AT&T 3.10.502.2_firmware. Get it here >> http://www.htc1guru.com

Use Revone and get S-Off first !!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] forpulse:
So I attempted to get S-OFF and got stuck here. This is the error message that I get. I'm using ROM Toolbox Lite and following this video to get S-OFF. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4BWxtjaamM

I don't know where to go from here. I'm on build 1.26.502.15 and HBOOT 1.44.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] forpulse:
so I went through all that, which basically ended up changing my build to .12 from .15. I have yet to attempt S-OFF again. However, I attempted to install apps from Play Store and I keep getting this error now. I can't install any apps. Any idea how to fix this. I've been googling but can't fix it.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] clsA:
Ignore it

Get S-off and then get back to updating to the current firmware and cleanrom 6

Edit: From the picture you have no sim card ?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] forpulse:
Yeah I did remove my sim card while I was doing everything since I didn't want to be bothered with texts and call. Anyhow, I ended up flashing Android Revolution HD 22.0 ROM after i got my S-OFF(thanks to you). Excited about all the possibilities now. Thanks again!

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean473:
That is the dumbest question ever. No it isn't possible as people would free load on T-Mobile's LTE network while paying AT&T... You either move to T-Mobile for LTE or stick with AT&T and HSPA+ with the C6903 Z1 model... Or wait for C6906 which works on AT&T LTE!

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Megalith:
I'm a complete noob when it comes to custom ROMs. Does the Verizon Note 3, having a locked bootloader, mean that you will never be able to use a custom ROM on it? Or does it just mean it's going to take some time, as it'll need to be cracked?

I will probably return mine if I find out I can't put vanilla Android on it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArborRes:
That is correct, unless someone comes up with a way to unlock the boot loader later.

Hi, I have a Media Center PC which records my TV shows, and Windows Media Player 10 automatically converts and copies them to the Pocket PC, running WMP10 also. Lovely.

Only thing is, I have this lovely big VGA screen on the HTC Universal, and the videos take up about one-quarter of it :-S

I have changed the 'Quality' settings in WMP10 but they make no difference to the dimensions of the image.

Any ideas welcomed! Surely MS aren't silly enough to limit the picture size to the older PPC screens only?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sandgrownun:
Download TCPMP, a freeware player and go full screen. Much better IMO than media player for movies, and will also play divx/xvid encoded movies
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
I second (or third!) that. TCPMP is the dog's danglies when it comes to PPC videos.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] fingery:
I've just about given up on video playback on the Exec :evil:

I've tried all sorts and nothing gives anywhere near smooth playback in full screen.

I read somewhere on here it was to do with the way video is handled...something about it being done by the CPU and not in dedicated video hardware.

If that is the case, it's serious flaw for the Exec and mine will be going back :cry:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Flubster:
I've never had any problems playing videos using TCPMP on my jasjar, once it was set to Intel XScale video and I tweaked some buffer settings, i'm only dropping 3 frames from 7000.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] CJSnet:
But I want to use Windows Media Player! It comes as standard, I don't want to install extra software that takes up space, and I like the fact that it uses the same playlists and ratings as my desktop PC, and many other reasons.

Anyone work out how to get 320x240 videos to fill the screen instead of play in a little box in the middle of full-screen?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
The issue of 320 x 240 videos not being stretched is listed as a known problem on the clubimate website, so I guess for now it's not fixable?

The fact that is is listed means that they're working on it for future ROM upgrades though, so it looks like you'll have to wait for a bit.

In the meantime, TCPMP will have to do.

(I'd prefer to use WMP too, but until I find a way to add an Xvid codec and an .ogg codec to WMP10, I'm going to stick with TCPMP, rather than re-encode my entire video & music catalogue)

and if you has sone icons there like message icon,phone book icons eTc.

share them please :):confused:
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Themes and Apps] mms047:
If u just want to change icons of any app, then just extract the app with zarchive or root explorar or any other archiving tool... Then go to the extracted app folder. Then go to res/drawable. in this folder you will find icon.png . just replace it with ur desired icon... then zip the folder and rename the zip as apk... You are done...

If u are in pc just open the apk with winrar then replace the icon with winrar.. That's it...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Any .apk will do? .apk is just the extension that apps are in, essentially your asking how to install an app to your android phone.

Just open the play store and download is the most common way, you can side load with adb, if you have an app on SD you can use a file explorer to open it then choose install (must have unknown sources checked)

I guess you may want to be a bit more specific for further help

[G2 General] baublitz:
This is my last ditch effort. Small back story: I somehow wiped EVERYTHING on my G2. EFS partition, ESN, data, SIM info., everything with dialer codes. All of my network information reads "unknown". I tried many methods from here on the forums to get this data back and it turns out I have lost my EFS partition- DNA for the network? I sent it to LG to get it fixed, having done a hard reset and leaving no trace of root. They sent it back without even asking and did no repairs. The note said "board bent". WTF?? How does the user bend the main board, especially when I never opened it? They voided my warranty and ripped off my IMEI/MEID sticker from the back of the phone.

Anyways, I am here with a brick. No network still. Here is what I have done:

1) .tot method to ZVC. Several more times... once to ZV7 where I lost touch capability. Luckily saved my arse with a micro->usb cable and a mouse.

2) attempted to root with ioroot25. Failed because the phone WILL NOT find recovery mode. adb, voldown+pwr then again from power off, and apps are unable to force the phone into recovery mode. I assume it is possible that my recovery mode is deleted?

3) Would have tried all of these "rewrite your efs/imei/etc" things but I can't do any without root. Can't root without recovery, can I?

4) Spent the last two weeks scouring the internet for a fix and going back to my Epic 4G temporarily.

Please help me, has anyone seen this before? Can anyone help me fix it? I am to the point where I would pay to have it fixed. Any experts out there? XDA has yet to let me down... I just need to know if I can fix it or if it is a brick so I can go searching for an old Sprint GS3.

Thanks all,

baublitz

Hi phone s2 i9100g is showing charging without charger connected. no water damage. Is it a serious issue. Another issue is sometime my all audio/video appc faces struggle in running.(not running smoothly). Are both issues related. And what is the solution.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f-r:
It's called "ghost charging" and it has been extensively discussed (and solved) many times. Search and you'll find those threads.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
Yeah it happens. Happened to me a couple months back. Above poster is correct, there's a lot of threads on it. Most of them won't mention ghost charging though, so to tip you off..... you need to replace the USB flex board. However, I'm not sure of the procedure for an i9100G, something the above poster doesn't mention... I'm not too sure how many threads you'll find for the "G" variant. Long and the short of it, you need to replace the USB flex board. Up to you if you DIY or pay someone to do it.

As far as your phone not running smoothly goes, when did you last do a factory reset? Back up everything you need (via Kies, I assume you're not rooted). Messages, contacts (sync them to a google account), and anything else you can think of. Note you'll lose all your apps with a factory reset, but your photos & videos will be fine.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siwach:
Thanks for reply. Actually I have changed 4-5 roms and getting this problem(charging+audio/video smoothness, even caller tune) in all. Now i flash stock via odin but no help. actually i have to press(little) phone down from screen after connecting charger for charging. I am thinking these two are related because may be faulty usb port makes some short circuit type thing which makes error in audio smoothness.

Either all sound related apps get struggle or all run smoothly in both speaker and headphone. i think my audio gets error that why video also face problem in running.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
My apologies as well for assuming you weren't rooted (see the importance of telling the information when asking for help?).

I can't say if they're related, unfortunately I don't know much about the hardware layout of our phones. But the way to move forward is definitely to get the USB board fixed first. Then see what happens to the audio problem. If you don't have any luck with that, then post up and we'll see.
