1. Stock messaging apps s*ck when it comes to additional features. Just download a 3rd party app.

2. Go to Settings > Display > Font Size and set it to Small. As for icons and such, you're better off installing an alternate launcher.

3. Are you using the GMail app or the Email app?

Email App - Hit the menu key > Sync Options > Inbox Frequency Check

If you are using Hotmail or Live, make sure you set it up manually and use Exchange Active Sync. Server is m.hotmail.com

GMail App - Go to Settings > Accounts > Google. Select your Google account the make sure that GMail sync is enabled.

4. No Idea. I never use the volume buttons for anything other than volume.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lukamo:
Thank you for your quick response

1 - There were no 3rd party apps that did what i needed :/ Is there a way to get the stock messaging from the nexus 4 ?

2 - its already on small. Everything is still very big

3 - Email app. I cant find where to put the exhange active sync server

4. I forgot to say that the volume buttons can previous/next only when the screen is off and a media player is opened (again, with long presses only). otherwise it would only control the volume with short presses. But yeah, a very useful function for listening to your music and not have to take out the phone from your pocket every time!

Thanks again. Anyone else has some input on these ?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aridoasis:
For the email app, you'd have to remove your account (I'm assuming you're using hotmail/live correct?), then add it again. On the screen where you put your username and password, there will be an option to select Exchange Active Sync.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hush66:
2. Use another launcher that allows for change in the number of rows and columns, and resizing of widgets.

4. This isn't a native feature of Xperia phones. You will need to install 3rd party apps for this. For me, I use the Xposed Xblast Tools module (which requires root).
[General Questions and Answers] ysir09:
Hi All.

Recently, I downloaded an app called 'Image & Video Hider'. I have hidden videos using this app and decided I no longer wanted it. I use the Samsung Galaxy S4

The app allowed me to unhide most of the media hidden, but not all. I have been researching online for hours and I am not able to find a solution that works for my problem. The developers website is not valid and I emailed them over a week ago and haven't heard anything. I was on the phone with Google today and there isn't much they could do either.

I was wondering if anyone could help me with unhiding media that still exists. I have tried the command method, and its not working (I may be doing something wrong). I even tried the "unhide" files method using the cpu but that isnt working either. I am sure the app is installed on my device memory but I cannot find anything pertaining to it once I complete a search. Please help me!

Yeah. Just stopped working all of a sudden at work. I am using a modified version which is just transparent. Tried a bunch of stuff including uninstalling , clearing data and just copying into system app folder and rebooting. Nothing. Came home and it is not working on my other two phones which are note2's. Weird. I am guessing it is a server side issue. I highly suspect that because Google was having server issues today. Worst case scenario is Google has discontinued service to the widget.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timetravelingtrevor:
I have been searching the internet for the past few days to try to find a solution to this issue, but to no avail. When I long press the call button on my Plantronics 520 bluetooth headset, the phone launches the "Voice Dialer" app. This app is TERRIBLE at voice recognition (go figure). I have tried using this workaround, but a) I am not using a Nexus 4, b) the phone I have is completely stock, and c) I have a different headset. I would like to choose what app is launched when I long press the bluetooth call button. Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm running android 4.2.2.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomerod:
+1 on this...the Voice Dialer is terrible...I don't understand how it could be so bad and how LG's interface does not allow for choosing a default app for this feature.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomerod:
Bump...hoping little issues like this get addressed by one of the talented devs out there somewhere. These nagging little issues have my LG sidelined in favor of my DNA (for now). That being said, I already miss the screen on the G2 and the placement of the soft keys vs. the DNA. Here's hoping to see more development of the LG software with helpful mods like being able to set defaults on voice control, sleep settings for notification LED, etc.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex72:
Yep. Instuctions in post #30 are little confusing. If you want Google Now voice search just skip step with Voice Commands all together. No need to make system app to anything. BTW, I'm using Motorola Voice Commands instead of Google Now Voice search so I made it as system app because it won't work otherwise and I skipped other steps because there's no need for Bluetooth launch app if you're using just Motorola Voice Commands. But, ddv2005 app will work on stock LG 4.2.2 because it intercepts LG coded action for mic voice commands and ask just for voice commands. In KitKat 4.4 there's no LG code, just pure AOSP, so I can't see how it could work.

ATT LG G2 stock 4.4.2 Google Now Search

On ATT LG G2 (D800) I got the phone button on my LG Tone+ headset (HSB-730) to open the Google Now Voice Search finally in 4.4.2. I have not tested this in 4.2.2 but it may work:

Go into the Apps settings and find LG's voice search

Disable it

Install Google Now (It's probably already installed)

Press the phone button on your BT headset

It should now bring up the voice search app that is a part of Google Now

I also wanted to know that if i do back it up, then will my data on apps (eg. the levels reached or progress in a game) be deleted or will it come back with the restore.

I really need help in this.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misterjunky:
re: backups

There are two kinds of backup/restore...

One backs up the actual firmware/rom the other kind of backup backs up applications

which are installed in your phone.

The best for application backup/restore "Titanium Backup" (it does backup game and application data)

The best way to backup your entire firmware/rom is by using TWRP recovery.

Twrp can be installed using "goomanager" a app which you can download from playstore,

Titanium backup is also an app you can download from the playstore.

Good luck!

As a Canadian, we have our own variant, along with some south american countries as well, the 900W8. As in past iterations of Galaxy device, we are always grouped with ATT and had our forum there where we could safely flash any rom. But this time around, the W8 variant is no where to be found. There are a few thread floating around, along with people messaging admins, requests, polls, but no one has lifted a finger to place us somewhere.

Today i flashed Echoe rom from this section, it doesnt work. My wifi doesnt work, my LTE is screwed up...and this is just in the first 5 minutes after falshing

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] crashfocus:
Hey all,

so I've been running ARHD on firmware 127.538.8 for awhile. I saw the RUU come out for 4.3 on Tmob, so obviously I was all like, **** yeah! So I flashed a stock ROM (based on 127.538.11) and then tried to run the RUU. Unlocked, S-OFF. For some reason, the RUU flashed Hboot (I'm currently stuck at 1.55.00) and then decided to throw an error 155 at me. So I tried relocking the bootloader, with a command I found browsing the forums that sets the status to Locked. Flashing the RUU here didn't work either. Re-unlocked the bootloader (I have no user data at all... it's sad). I realized, okay, I'm Unlocked and have a custom recovery installed (TWRP). Even if I relock, the RUU doesn't flash. My idea right now is to flash the 127.538.11 RUU to get Hboot 1.44, as well as a working non-hacked firmware. I'm not sure if that RUU will work, though I'm hoping it does. If it does, then I can OTA update without a problem.

Do any of you have any ideas as to how to do this? I can RUU to 127.538.11, then downgrade to x.8 and use revone to lock my bootloader and attempt an OTA. I'm not sure what to do here... I can also reflash ARHD 30 and stick with that for awhile. I can do basically anything recommended, as I have S-OFF and TWRP.

Thanks!
