Clipboard crashes 4.3?

I thought of updating to 4.3 myself but I noticed there were some concerns in Clipboard apps in Google Play about a bug in the 4.3 clipboad causing crashes.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carl Blance:
From what I've heard I would actually wait till the next version comes out lol, I've heard things like battery temperature raises, camera faults etc... I' dont have a S4 yet but I've been doing a bit of research on them since I'm likely to buy one hopefully its not on the 4.3 version xD . But that's my opinion anyway

Hey bud,

I use Nova Prime and mine still doesn't show transparent notification bar... :(

Even with the check box in nova settings.

Running 14.1.G.1.534 with root....

Suggestions for an absolute noob?

It wont work unless the rom API supports it. Apparently the xperia interface doesnt, so it wont work.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verendus:
Coming from iPhone, I love the hardware. But, OS still seems to have some glitches. My biggest issue right not is email. My work email provides IMAP push IDLE, and never had problem with iPhone having email pushed immediately into my inbox.

Samsung or Android default email has been nothing but a headache. I've checked all the settings concerning sync include data usage > sync, etc, but the email will not sync. The funny thing is if I clear cash/data and reboot, reset the email account, PUSH will work for about 2-3 hours, then stops. It won't even pull by interval, and the only way to receive new email is to manually sync.

I've done it a number of times, and it always works for about a few hours, then simply stops. I've checked off peak schedule and any other settings that might interfere with push.

This is year 2013, and I cannot believe that a flagship android phone cannot push email consistently. This is true with my GMAIL as well. Is anyone else having the same issue? Doing a quick search, it seems like many people are having the same issue, and have given up. Having email pushed immediately is a very important feature for me, and I can't imagine android OS that's been around for many years hasn't figured this out. There seems to be no support from Samsungs's end.

If anyone can shed light, I'd really apprecaite it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vince2398:
+1. I am using an LG G2 instead and all emails sync in real time with Push, no issues at all. However, on the N3 it just will not work, even after changing all the sync schedules and settings. If anyone know how to work around this, it would be awesome.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barnabydog:
Agreed. Mine shows the same symptoms. It's like amateur night at the clown college of software engineers.

Actually, it seems push email support is just a rumor, and Samsung denies it.

What an embarrassment.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vince2398:
I don't get why is there a Push option if it doesn't work.. I thought it was a bug.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natboy:
I've heard good things about K9 mail client from the Play Store and it has push functionality.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cloudmoose:
Not really helpful to your scenario, but I haven't had problems with push notifications using the baked in email client or with gmail.

Base email is tied via IMAP to an account on a webmail server I run.

Gmail is tied to my corporate google apps account.

Rooted on N900AUCUBMI1 baseband here.

Not that you should need a root to get this functionality, but maybe it would help?

Which baseband are you on? Maybe Push is broken in the newer build.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barnabydog:
I've had trouble running stock on MI9, then rooted on MI1 and MI9. The type of email client doesn't seem to matter.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReggieSmith:
Odd. I am using Gmail for a few mail accounts and get quick delivery and all works fine. I have not tried the baked in email client on my Note 3, but I use it (with exchange) on my Note 2 without issue.

I guess instant mail delivery on my personal accounts isn't that critical to me but I can feel your pain.

If you are rooted, have you disabled any apps even remotely related to email?

If you are using gmail, do you have IMAP enabled within the Web client?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verendus:
I am running everything stock. I haven't rooted it yet, but will eventually give it a go when the firmware matures a little.

I am able to get a quick delivery on GMAIL app. But, I think something is seriously broken with the stock email app. Most people will say that push is not a supported feature. But, it works for an hour or two, then it will stop working. Bigger issue is that it doesn't fetch emails reliably even with intervals set. The top status will say the last synced time, but the emails never arrive in my inbox until I load manually.

Given that Samsung cheated on the benchmarking score, I wouldn't rule out the possibility of Samsung intentionally disabling push and pull feature. Just a guess. In fact, when I enable everything I used to run on iPhone (location service, bluetooth, wifi, google services, etc), N3 battery life falls pretty fast. I wonder if Samsung intentionally cropped polling for push to increase battery life.

Regardless, if push doesn't work property, this phone is not ready as a business tool. I spent the whole afternoon trying different combination, and I am about to give up. The only thing I haven't done is root, but I am not sure how that would affect the situation. I am also trying to find some sort of bug report page, but haven't found one.

This is a pretty major issue as my work requires immediate delivery of emails. I am keeping my fingers crossed until somebody crack this.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verendus:
Spent the whole day resetting, deleting, adding account, playing with all sorts of sync settings, etc, and came to conclusion that the default email app is a horribly broken piece of junk. Keeping track of fetch interval and the stamp of the messages shows it cannot even pull the email on time from the server.

So I installed Evomail. What a difference! The app is beautifully designed, and has no problem pushing all my emails instantly. I am not sure if I am sold on the gesture thing as you can accidentally delete emails, but the icon has taken over the stock email on the bottom of the screen permanently for now. Wish Samsung would've done a better job on one of the email app.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] kassem277:
Howdy y'all,

So I was rooting and flashing and when I tried to flash after successfully rooting the device, I went to wipe everything in TWRP and then flash another ROM. Well, something happened and it gave me an error saying it could not wipe (I think it was OTG something something, it's been 2 weeks now since I did this), and now it won't allow me to transfer ANYTHING from the computer to the device. It will not allow me to create folders, nothing. I have uninstalled the drivers, installed the drivers and tried SO many drivers. Anyone able to provide me a suggestion? The odd thing is on the device itself, I can create folders and everything, but when it connects, eventually, I can open the device from my computer, BUT when I attempt to create a folder, the PC gives me an error dialog saying that the device is not there anymore.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Funzo22:
Have you tried using ADB push to get a new rom onto the device? Also I'd do a permission repair

Edit: As a side note, I don't think it's possible that you did actual damage to your device. It's probably just the software that's messed up. If you want a sure way to fix it, try downloading and flashing the stock factory image.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] kassem277:
Thanks so much for the reply. I just finished doing a complete stock re-image of the original bootloader and OS, but I'm still getting the same error message. I'll attach an image below of the error I keep getting.

Any more suggestions?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Funzo22:
Is it possible for you to try with a different computer?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
Have you done a wipe data factory reset?

It wasn't clear from what you described.

Bootloadeer wouldn't help and neither would ROM as this problem has to do with /data
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] kassem277:
Sorry about the lack of clarity. I have wiped multiple times, cleared all caches, dalvik, etc. I have installed and uninstalled ALL devices from USBDeview pertinent to anything ADB or android related.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
Have you rebooted your PC?

Have you reconfirmed you are using mtp rather than ptp?

Does your /sdcard show more directories than dcim and pictures when viewed in adb shell?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] kassem277:
I have rebooted multiple times

I am in debugging mode as well as in ptp mode and my sdcard shows that I do have many folders there, however in my computer it is only showing DCIM and pictures.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tni.andro:
That's your problem right there. PTP mode is camera mode, so you only get access to a couple of directories. Switch to MTP mode (menu under Settings / Storage).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] kassem277:
I've tried MTP mode before and I get nothing. In fact the computer doesn't recognize the tablet is there. It's odd b/c I have done EVERYTHING I can think of and read about to install drivers (multiple kinds, like PDA, android, RAW, etc) and uninstall drivers. It sounds like a driver issue but I don't think it is.

EDIT: ok so after switching to MTP mode on the tablet, I went to device manager and uninstalled the "portable ADP drivers" as some people were saying they had issues that were similar to mine (but not exactly) here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2380978&page=1).

After doing so, I unplugged and re-plugged the N7 back in and had it re-install the drivers from the Google USB drivers that I downloaded onto my desktop. That allowed me to get it to work and access the internal SD card on the device. BUT, when I go back into the PTP mode (camera) mode, I still have the same issue where I cannot creat subdirectories, transfer anything to the device AND I cannot see any directories except for DCIM and pictures. Really weird. Both modes obviously worked before I rooted it. Now that I have unrooted and gone back to bare bone stock I am still not getting it to work.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
That is how ptp mode is supposed to work.

That is why people prefer mtp mode.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tni.andro:
Like I said, that's what you get in PTP mode. You are able to write to those 2 directories though (not the root directory).

No way. PTP mode is restricted on purpose. Here is the commit:

https://android.googlesource.com/pl...er/+/1e950b8090d90bbf92e528a974ecb8c5c48dff84
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] kassem277:
Thanks guys. I appreciate all the continued help and patience. Now that I went back and thought about it, I was only transferring images WHEN it was working before. It is all good now that my silly drivers were all sorted out. Really odd how the drivers just took a crap on me like that. Weird. All is well now though and I can get back to studying my PDF's for school.

Thanks again y'all!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] phisher177:
I installed CWM and got cyanogenmod onto my phone without any hassle, eventually decided that a rooted stock rom for my sprint phone would be best for the time being.

my method was to pick up the rooted stock from from galaxyS4root (1.40 gb) and install it using CWM after doing a total wipe, the package also performed automatic wipes upon installing. no issues so I went ahead and rebooted, CWM alerted me saying that the package was not rooted and if I wanted to root, my answer was "yes."

the phone gets as far as the "galaxy S4" splash screen, then goes black and stays that way. The phone gets warm when doing this so I know its trying to do something. The only fix is to reboot into CWM and reinstall cyanogenmod.

Anyone else experience this? what can I do to fix it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] xxaddictedxx:
i had this problem after first rooting as well. all i had to do was update the SU binaries and then root sticks. i would also do the wipes yourself just in case the package is missing something. and the obvious....check the MD5 and make sure its right and make sure your downloading the correct file for your phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] phisher177:
CM10's built in SU didn't seem to think the binaries needed updated, installed chainfire's SU and it wanted to update CWM.

it asked me about disabling recovery flash, to which i said yes. Its not the root im having an issue with though, its getting stuck at a black screen.

either way, update didn't work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] phisher177:
Ended up using odin to push the latest stock firmware on, then trying to root using the walkthroughs on here which resulted in the same outcome, black screen.

I was getting my deoxed and rooted rom from galaxyS4root.com, so I started checking the MD5, it never matched out of the 5 times I downloaded it. Watch out I guess.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] xxaddictedxx:
did you try one of the roms on xda? if MD5 dosent match then thats your problem

Hi Freinds!

I have been struggling with getting my Nexus 4 to charge from my Kenwood DNX5230BT car multi-media head unit.

After searching HIGH and low, I finally solved the problem myself. I am posting this here to share with others who may have the same problem.

First, I looked at the specs for the USB and the rest of the device at This Link.

That showed me that any device connected to the USB port needed to be "Mass storage class (MSC device)".

My Nexus 4 (Android 4.3) phone is capable of many things, but by default it is set up to be a Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) device. This is not what the Kenwood wants. So at the Settings/Storage/Advanced/USB Computer Connection menu, I disabled MTP and PTP classes. Neither should be checked.

This still did not work but I knew why! I use my phone for software development and had turned on the "Developer Options". So I switched them off at Settings/Developer Options.

Then, MAGIC, the Kenwood allowed electricity to go to my phone and it would charge while I'm driving!! I do not know if the Kenwood can see any files on the phone or not. I don't use it as a media storage device!

So the short recipe to get your Nexus to charge from the Kenwood:

Disable Media and Photo Transfer Protocols: Settings/Storage/USB Computer Connection: untick both MTP and PTP

Turn of Developer Options: Settings/Developer Options: set slider to "off"

Connect the phone to the Kenwood and watch it charge! :D

Ciao,

Bob

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gratefulfrog:
It may be slightly different on your version of Android. For example, Sony Experia, it is under settings/Experia/usb connection...

You have to find "Usb connection" somewhere in your settings.

I am getting a fc in setup wizard after installing the Infamous ROM 4.3 "pac_p4_4.3-Infamous_20131017.zip".

Followed below steps:

1. using CWM 6.0.2.7, wipe data/factory reset

2. wipe cache partition

3. wipe delvik cache

4. Flashed Infamous ROM

5. Flashed gaps "gapps-jb-20130813-signed"

6. Reboot

after getting the fc on setup wizard i tried, 1) wiping cache and rebooting 2) reflashing the infamous rom on top again.

both solutions did not work.

Just wanted to test different JB 4.3 roms.

can someone help me out?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahsenz:
haven't done that yet. i will try reflashing gaps.

thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] John Kester:
First you need to update your recovery to 6.0.3.6. You can get it from Droidbasement.

Secondly, before flashing you need to format system under Mounts and Storages in addition to the wipes you mentioned above.

After installation wipe cache and dalvik cache again and then reboot.

The gapps is okay as it is same as mine, and I never had any issues.

Cheers.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gil81:
Great advice...

I also always suggest a system format...

I just wanted to add that with the older recovery...it doesn't like 4.3 gapps. You can boot after ROM flash. Then go back to recovery and flash gapps...wipe cache and dalvik before. And that will work also and I've seen gapps cause some weird issues with this device as well as my e4gt..

Or just use twrp...I've had zero issues with flashing anything since switching...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahsenz:
Thanks for the advice. (John and Gil81)

I followed the steps as advised i.e.

1. under Mount and Storage, format system

2. format cache

3. format data

4. flash rom, this time i flashed CM10.2/SGT7 rom.

5. reboot

everything was working smooth, so moved on to

6. flashing gaps

7. reboot and now

8. Enjoying. (restoring apps)

great work from all the developers of 4.3 roms for our device.

have not upgraded the CWM recovery yet, but please advise if it is absolutely necessary to do that. May be i would do it with any future upgrades.

also to get better understanding of the recovery, what is the difference between format data and format sdcard option?

thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] John Kester:
Formatting sdcard will wipe everything in your device including the media partition where your user generated data like pictures, videos, downloads etc and also all the files copied to the device from PC. So be careful NOT to format the sdcard.

Formatting data, on the other hand will remove your installed gapps and the associated data. This is necessary when migrating from an older ROM to a newer one that will need you to install different version of gapps that is suitable for the newer ROM. Even when crossing from one ROM to another based on the same version of android, it becomes necessary to format data to get a clean install so the data from the different ROMs do not conflict.

The recovery version, as I understand it, is necessary for the changes to the filing system of 4.3 which is different from 4.2.2. In addition it is also designed to support the multiuser feature of 4.3. I am a single user so I can't attest to how it helps there.

Cheers.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Wannabe Geek:
I have a 2gb SD card that was working, but I thought I would be clever and use the SD reader in my Tosh so that I could transfer large files more easily to the card for my exec. But when I was asked to format my card by Toshiba's software, I went through the process and thought it was successful. But then at end of process the phrase "Please stop a SD memory card, then insert the card again" came up, so took card out, re-entered it in the reader and tried to attempt to transfer files to it. However windows then told me that it was not formatted and would I like to format it. So yes, I do, but although windows formatted it, it reduced the capacity from 2gb to 956 mb or thereabouts. It was recognised by the exec again, but with severe consequences as never bought a 1 gb card.

Help please...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] whydidnt:
Sounds to me like your card reader doesn't read cards bigger than 1 GB. I had the same issue with my 4 GB card. Tried it with a different reader and the PC saw all 4 gigs, never asking me to format. See if you can try a newer SD card reader?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cruisin-thru:
The same thing happened to me with a 1 gigabyte pcmcia card. It was working fine in my laptop then I put it in the card slot on an Ipaq and it also did a format. The card is now exactly half the memory it should be and no way can I get it to work as a 1 gig card even though I have tried formatting on the pc.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
I have found that my 2GB card formatted on my Palm LifeDrive was not readable on my laptop. When I formatted using a Toshiba format utility the space on the card was down to 1GB. It did work okay on my JJ. I had to re-format it on my Palm and then for reason it was okay again and could be read by my laptop - I did not use any card readers as the laptop has a built-in reader. And I re-formatted on my laptop using XP format softwsre and the 2GB storage was retained.

@Wannabe, have you got access to another PC or card reader to reformat your card. Also I found WM5 file managers could not reformat and regain the lost capacity
