[HTC One X] gjw00:
my wife's One X is pretty busted, broken screen, now the thing wont turn on.

she doesnt want a warranty repair due to a bunch of baby photos being on the internal sd-card

thinking of just biting the bullet and i am wondering if i disassembled the phone, whether the internal sd-card is removable, and i can just take it out and put it into another sdcard reader or something?
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
nope it's not like a normal micro sd card...it's like a ssd and it's on the mainboard so a normal remove wouldn't be possible...
[HTC One X] gjw00:
****, is there no way that card can be read then? bugger, she never signed in to google+.. no other backups.
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
the phone is really not turning on anymore? if not i think no way...except of asking in store if you want to repair with warranty that they don't touch the private photos etc...but normally they aren't touching them and even don't see them...they just repair the phone look if the screen or so is working again and yes..

Hi everyone.

For a long time I feel that my battery drains very fast.

I just use google chrome for about 15 minutes and my battery drains in 20%.

In addition, can you tell me what is the meaning of the numbers in the wakelock app?

Thanks.

Google services are the culprit based on those screens.

Probably location or sync

Hello,

is there an official list of all methods which need android permissions to be set for execution?

It should look like this:

method01() needs READ_PHONE_STATE

method02() needs ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE

...

There is no such official litst. I believe the only official list you can find is the Manifest.permission.html file on android developers site.
[Java for Android App Development] mpowerlight:
API Call to Permission mapping

I found a generator for such a list called PScout. You can google it, i am not allowed to post links here.

You can generate a apicall-to-permission mapping by scanning the android sources with the PScout tool.

But PScout comes with a problem:

a)An api call can need one of more permissions to be active. For example some methods need either ACCESS_WIFI_STATE or CHANGE_WIFI_STATE to be active.

b)An api call can need a set of permissions to be active.

PScout can't distinct between case a) and b)

Does anyone know ALL methods which need more than one permission to be active? Every hint will be helpful.

hello,

I suggest you do a hard reset by tablet off: Hold Volume_UP key and press Power key, and keep in mind Volume_UP That Do not release the key until you see Sony's logo on screen.Reset to factory settings. then updates the Android release 5a (AiO work if you want to make the root). install adobe flash player 11.1.115.69 for Android ICS (search online).

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajsmith3187:
Hi!

Just got my hands on a Xperia Z1 and I am very impressed with it!

I've always had android phones and I'm used to the OS etc, however I'm having problems with my contacts not being synced to their Facebook accounts, specifically the pictures.

Previously the pictures automatically synced with each contact, so I get a nice picture on my contact list and messages, however this isnt the case now! I've synced with FB and had no success at all, so i'm wondering if there is a simple fix for this that I'm not doing?

Apologies if this is a subject that is getting repeated!

Thanks in advance! :good:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exry:
What FB-sync did you use? Facebook's own app or Sony's Xperia with Facebook account functionality?

The latter allows you for syncing the photos of your contacts, while Facebook's own application doesn't. Just go to the accounts and add a "Xperia with Facebook"-account.

Themes not showing up when trying to change theme settings

Hello, and thanks for making available the nice-looking Z-themes. Nevertheless I don't manage to see those themes after changing permissions and putting the files to "system/app". Only thing that happened to me is that the PlayStore icon on the homescreen turned into some transparent square icon. Anyone found a sound way of installing the themes/apk's?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Ben Ling:
Try to flash it via CWM.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Lafenear:
Flashed it via TWRP.

It works, but it replaced the org. Z1 themes.

Then try to move them manually using root explorer or es file explorer.

d2vzw running Liquid Smooth 2.10 with BMS kernel, not sure what happened but while i was setting up rom, i lost information on /mnt/sdcard/android/data/com.banana.threenotes (catch notes data, such as images).

The ****ty part is, it's on the internal storage, so i've tried some restoring methods and i've gotten nothing. Also, i've renamed the .nomedia file so that way media can be read (.nomedia is in the android folder).

Factory reset clean flash the latest working rom or restore backup
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] masri1987:
can't say that helped. The files are gone permanently. This is the data of catch notes, which was discontinued (sync services) but it still worked on local storage, it saved it on /mnt/sdcard/android/data , i lost it in transition (the only thing i lost) of going from LS 3.0 beta to LS 2.10 (which is still 4.3) , i'm looking for ways to run data recovery on internal memory -
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
I'd say it's gone, a nandroid won't restore anything on your internal storage. Even if restore a perfect backup nothing will come back.

I would try using a file manager and navigating to the folder and checking manually where it could have gone from there, but something probably got corrupted.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] weekender90:
Greetings everyone,

I have a quite dumb question, since I've seen many users trying to have T ROMs on their TXs - is it possible to boot a TX firmware or ROM on the Xperia T? Has anyone tried that? The main reason is the color saturation. I know it's probably 99% hardware problem, but I've entered Service Menu and checked Display. And it's perfect! Cear, pure colors, with deep and real black.

It's very frustrating to have that view problem, with dimming effect or what the heck it is...

When in Album (with BE activated) the differences are almost none between TX and T (T even has more clearity and sharpness, with some extra brightness).

By the way, I have already modified values in pre_hw_config.sh... Even installed an app that filters the screen (and managed to get rid of that autoadjustment effect!) but I'm still unsatisfied with the overall saturation, those washed colors in the UI... Some background color schemes seem to be painted, with distinct shades clearly seen (Album art background color, i.e.). That's awfull.

If the screen is differently calibrated - then why in the Service Menu the colors are excelent and almost the same as in TX?

That's why I think that are chances that 1% could be ROM or Kernel's fault. A software thing...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] romcio47:
I cannot guarantee you these words are true but I've read somewhere that somebody did flash TX ROM on his T.

Except from other problem fixes, he also discovered that the WiFi signal reception got really better.

So I think nothing wrong could happen. We know a lots of cases when T ROM was flashed to TL or at least T ROM on TX (the only wrong thing then was broken XPERIA lighting). I think everything will be ok :)

My phone is T. Xperia T.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] weekender90:
Thanks, now you maked me even more curious about this thing. I don't think something really bad will happen, like not booting at all, not being recognised by SUS or Flashtool etc. I hope so...

Maybe I'll try to flash tomorrow a stock TX ROM - and then report (also if there's a screen quality/behaviour changed). :cyclops:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] weekender90:
FLASHED

I managed to flash TX firmware. Everything worked just fine, phone booted without problems...

The bad thing: does not vibrate at all and the camera is messed up it's upside down, it won't focus and when tries to capture - freezes.

The

very good part:

THE SCREEN IS SUPERB, NO MORE DIMMING, AUTO-ADJUSTMENT, NO MORE BRIGHTNESS OR CONTRAST FADING it's unbelievable! The contrast is much better, no more washed out colors... I knew it was a software issue!!!

Now... I don't know if it's just a kernel problem or not. I need unlocked bootloader to flash TX kernel, right? With LB and Flashtool won't work (by frashing TX completely and flash over T firmware with kernel "excluded"...)

Help, help, help! :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] weekender90:
Do you have an idea? What should I do next?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] romcio47:
You don't need unlocked BL to flash STOCK Xperia TX kernel. Stock kernel is signed by Sony and it will be accepted by your phone.

I don't know anything about fixing these problems, I'm no developer at all but I was thinking about creating a thread with some requests for TX libs and system files (WiFi etc)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] weekender90:
Okay, I'll check if I could flash TX kernel over T original ROM somehow... And see if the kernel is the main problem of that annoying fade-in-out effect, washed colors etc.

Hi everyone firstly i have searched everywhere for info on this subject with no luck and i did not know where to post so i thought i would start here..

(NOTE TO MOD: if this is wrong location for this thread please accept my apologies)

My device is a ZTE MF112 3G Dongle (on three uk)

i have downloaded a firmware for this device but when i try to flash it i get an error nv_status_read_only

so my first question would be how would i get the read/write access to be able to flash??

i then proceeded to download QPST to do some investigating and it turns out that when i use the EFS Explorer with QPST the NV and EFS folders have a red marker and i am still unable to access them??

so my next question will be is it possible to change the status of both partitions using QPST??

Thanks in advance...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sanjuro:
I think i have a faulty unit because i can not connect to the internet at all (although it worked last sat morning when i got the unit but i did not try again until my number got ported)i have tried it on GSM only and checked all the settings over with the guy from T-Mobile and they are ok but if i put my sim in my Jam i get a connection with no problems.

The guy from T-Mobile says it may be beacuse i am on the fringe for UMTS reception but i get the U symbol and 4 bars on the strength meter but surely it should go on to GPRS if it can not get reception on UMTS as it would do for phone calls anyone any ideas ?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] joebongo:
Start>Settings>Personal Tab>Phone>Band>"Select Network Type" and change to GSM (it's probably on Auto), then ok it all.

If you now connect over GPRS (which is what the above is to do - force it not to use UMTS at all), then you're ok.

Next thing is to go to a UMTS strong area, and do the settings but set back to Auto and see if u get 3G connection.

Hope it helps.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sanjuro:
i just get the message ''warning:unable to change GSM/UMTS Band, please try again later''

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingzain900:
Yes that will work. Although the fastest and best method (without having to install a custom recovery) is to use CF-Auto Root (and the safest too because I wouldn't trust the zip on the blog, but I trust Chainfire lol).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andr0id7:
If i use that method, it will install the custom recovery and knox will be triggered, am i right sir? But if i use cf auto root, knox will remain 0x0?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingzain900:
Which is your current firmware? If you use ANY method to do any kind of rooting or flashing, your knox will be triggered and changed to 0x1 (if you are on the firmwares that have knox).

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingzain900:
If you are on MG5, then you have no problems with rooting since you have no knox. But I suggest updating to the last firmware without knox which I think is XXUBMF8. All the firmwares with XXUB... are without knox. Some custom ROMs out there have no bootloaders when you flash them, so they are safe too. Just search for the answer and you'll know.
