I have a s4 and I was lucky enough to get it all unlocked and rooted and recovery-d before the ota mess. If I now want it on the normal ota (I know it kills the exploit, maybe forever) can I just use kies to update it? Is there a way to do it with no pc? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fox5.56:
I've been searching for 3 days now, and everything I've found has not worked. I am using twrp, and have tried flashing three different roms. Everything in fastboot and twrp runs fine, but as soon as I get to the asus boot screen (I've seen it to be called the circle/ring of death) it freezes, then reboots. I've tried re flashing back to stock rom, upgrading firmware/ downgrading firmware, different twrp versions, stock recovery, hitting my head on the tablet. I don't know what else to do.

My tablet was version 4.2.1 I used the boot unlocker v_8. Tablet was rooted and working for one day, then over night this began.

If someone could please point me in the right direction, or is this just a case of my tablet being done for?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graphdarnell:
Do you have valuable data on the tab? If yes, I'd suggest you copy them off your internal storage to your external Sd card with TWRP, then erase everything per buster99's script (search for the name); flash stock rom via fastboot. You don't need to reset the tab by poking the hole since you apparently can get to fastboot without issue.

DO NOT touch the wipe data icon on the boot screen! Do everything with TWRP only. If you choose to do it via SD card, remove the card before rebooting to see what happens. It has occurred to me that leaving the card inside might cause problems. Good luck.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fox5.56:
I copied anything I wanted saved, but I did not do a legitimate backup of software files.

I have pressed the wipe data icon on the boot screen under the confusment of the many different posts. What step does that leave me at?

EDIT:

So crazy Buster99 fastboot flash did it. Sucks because I tried that before but I guess I may have missed one line of the reflashing script. Well thanks, after three days I've finally been put in the right direction.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajoli:
Hey guys.

I'm having a slightly annoying issue.. Namely the camera shutter.

I can't turn the shutter noise! And I'm not even using the original camera app. If I do there's not even an option for it. In MX Camera, there is an option to turn off the shutter sound, but it doesn't work. I'm guessing this is LG's fault.

It is not illegal in my area to mute the camera.

Anyone know how I can do this?

Nope. It keeps making the shutter noise.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somemadcaaant:
Can u turn it off with stock camera?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagrim1:
Is it the default shutter sound? If so, try renaming 'camera_click.ogg' (and 'camera_focus.ogg') in the /system/media/audio/ui folder...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g.b.a.:
Try these...

Try this:

Or this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hantor.CozyCamera&hl=en

These two works silently well in my G2...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyltha:
On the stock phone app if you put your phone in silent mode, the shutter sound is silent. At least it is on my at&t phone with the Aeon 2.1 rom which has a Korean base.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajoli:
Not the case on mine. If I use silent mode it still makes the shutter noise, as I experienced in the library the other day.... :(
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yyz123:
Right, I have a LG G2 on Wind Mobile.

Hardware: LG-D801

Software Ver.: D801V11b

Tried several 3rd party camera apps such as Camera MX / Line Camera without success.

Setting to Silent/Vibrate and manually toggling the volumes within the stock system was unsuccessful.

Tried Glen's Camera Mute and was unsuccessful even with toggling Enable/Disable and with a tester version with built-in volume adjustment.

I think rooting may be the only solution, but I'm new to this game so I'm still trying to figure out how to root and how I'm supposed to make the camera silent after rooting.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajoli:
I am rooted. Haven't checked since I installed AOSP though. I can't imagine the issue is still present.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yyz123:
So... before you had this issue and after rooting no more issue?

Is AOSP a rom?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] racingbmwm3:
I guess Verizon did one thing right, you can turn the shutter sound off on the VS980.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajoli:
AOSP is "pure" Android, with no custom UI etc. It seems like the issue is gone now yes.

There is an option for it in the stock camera on the 802, it just doesn't work. Most likely a bug or something like it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yyz123:
Sorry still confused... so is AOSP a rom that somebody developed?

I have to root my device and somehow install AOSP?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajoli:
AOSP Means Android Open Source Project. It's the basic Android that is launched on for example Nexus phones, without a new UI from say, Samsung or HTC.

It is not something you are going to install simply to get rid of the shutter noise, however I (And many others) greatly prefer these versions of ROMs over the bloated ones from the phone companies.

http://source.android.com/
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeyhatchet:
WIND Mobile D801 here. Can confirm that the Camera mute app doesn't work, silent mode doesn't work, no option for disabling shutter sound from in the app, and renaming the file with ROOT does nothing.

The audio must be within the camera app somewhere, but I can't figure it out. Please help! So frustrating.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SHAHS:
Hi, It's been like 3 months I bought s2 from a friend and he told me that it's internal memory is corrupted,

I have no clue how to solve this or even give it a term and search for it,

The phone wipes all the data on every restart, and every time I have to set-up the OS from the beginning.

And the phone isn't showing internal memory.

Is this issue fixable or should i stop trying?

I will be really thankful if somebody guides me.

Please I really want to resolve this problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] machokingjim:
does each restart really wipes the os? Which rom,kernel are you using?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SebasC:
I recently picked up a Samsung Galaxy S3 again and I know with custom roms if you use Google Wallet and factory reset without resetting Google Wallet you would mess up your secure element... Now I run stock rom, stock kernel just rooted to delete bloatware.

If I factory reset now with Google Wallet set up would it mess up my Secure element too? I know just to be safe would be reset google wallet and then reset the phone but we all have that spur of the moment Factory reset just in case..

I know it sounds like a dumb question but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Thanks for any answers.

[Google Chromecast] nano351:
The latest update of the pandora app:

The app_id for the chromecast receiver is going to be Pandora_App. Can't be used until Google/Pandora push the receiver app to the Chromecast repository. You could theoretically run it on an emulator but it's impossible to determine what the proper URL is for the app.
[Google Chromecast] RojasTKD:
Along with the other new of mentions of Pandora on a non-live Chromecast page (don't remember the details), I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes official along with Kit Kat and the Nexus 5. Supposedly as early as tomorrow (10/31).

That would be a nice treat ;)
[Google Chromecast] EarlyMon:

[Google Chromecast] Croptop:
Since we can't use Pandora in Canada without jumping through some hoops, I'm really hoping that Rdio follows suit.
[Google Chromecast] dizarmstrong:
Same here.
[Google Chromecast] nano351:
Yep, should be working for everyone (if it's not working you only need to reboot the chromecast).
[Google Chromecast] rd2000:

Anyone who could post the apk ? Its "not compatible" with HTC one, but i'd like to try that out for myself :)
[Google Chromecast] bozzykid:
What is weird about Pandora's Chromecast support is when you switch your source in the app (Chromecast to phone for instance) it doesn't sync up and starts playing a different song. That is really the only annoying thing about the app that I've noticed so far.
[Google Chromecast] rkirmeier:
It also does not allow you to control from multiple devices without interrupting the music. I really wish they implemented this like Netflix app in that you can seamlessly move between devices (phone, tablet, etc)... Even more shocked Google didn't do it right (Netflix way) with Google Music...
[Google Chromecast] jsdecker10:
What he said....
[Google Chromecast] extrem0:
I think he can't see Pandora app in play store because he's outside US. So, he's asking someone to share the Pandora. Apr file. But I don't think it would work, unless he uses a vpn
[Google Chromecast] bturner75:
I update the pandora app on my nexus 7 and my motorola droid razr maxx. I see the cast button on the nexus 7 but not on the droid. Is it in a different place for the phone app or shouldn't it be in the upper right hand corner?
[Google Chromecast] GabrialDestruir:
I'm not horribly keen on the Pandora app at the moment I watched it play through a couple of songs and there's areas that are 100% static. This means for TV's that have risk of stuck pixels you can't use the app for long periods of time without risking leaving images stuck on your screen.

Pandora needs to add a dynamic screen similar to the one used by Google Music for the stuck pixels to not be a risk.

I have noticed if I'm listening to a song on my phone I can cast it to my Chromecast without it changing. However if I disconnect the song is forced into a change. So there is that lack of a clean switch going from casting to not casting. I only hope that any forced changes by a disconnect isn't consider a "skip" and count against that number.
[Google Chromecast] SlimSnoopOS:
Since the Pandora update, I set my TV screen to black to avoid that. It just made sense cuz Pandora has always been a static image. Even on my laptop, I'm surfing the web and never leave my display on Pandora. Plus, the UI is ugly.
[Google Chromecast] GabrialDestruir:
My tv doesn't have an option to go black, maybe turning down the brightness and contrast all the way or something.
[Google Chromecast] DC_MTP:
strange I'm only noticing ads while connected to chromecast and casting to my TV (ad pops up on the tv screen once in a while and I can't skip songs as much as I want). If I disconnect and just skip songs on my nexus tablet I get no ads or limited skips. Anyone else notice? Don't know how this could have anything to do with Chromecast
[Google Chromecast] bodecove:
simultaneously chromecasting pandora ?

is it a possibility to simultaneously chromecast the same pandora app throughout the house..?
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
As in to multiple TVs?

Since each Chromecast is independent (think micro computer accessing Pandora), even if you managed to get the Pandora playlist point the same on all Chromecasts, they'd still all be receiving a separate and individual data stream, so sync would not be 100%. You'd probably get weird echo/reverb effects if you can hear more than one player's audio.

It's like if you and your friend both brought up the same YouTube video on two phone/tablets. Even if you both hit play at exactly the same time (and didn't get interrupted with an ad), each phone/tablet is getting a separate on-demand video "feed" and decoding it. Your playback would likely be close in time with identical hardware, but still no guarantee.

The proper way to do multi-location playback is via multicast streaming, which is more like an over-the-air TV broadcast. The "feed" is broadcast, and any number of receivers can "tune into it" and they'll get whatever is being broadcast at that time.

But I don't think Pandora can do that...

So back to your original goal, the easiest way would be to use an HDMI distribution device or splitter (be mindful of HDCP compliance, not sure Chromecast requires it, but it probably does) so the same signal is going to your multiple locations in the house.

You could put a Chromecast on each TV and switch cast destinations (I do this with YouTube sometimes), but that will give you breaks between moves as things reconnect. Don't forget to turn off the TV when you leave.
[General Questions and Answers] freudlund:
Hello.

My gfs phone (galaxy s2, rooted with siyah, stock rom) crashed today, and after a forced reboot lots of apps disappeared(this is a common problem it seems, although i haven't found a one-answer-for all fix yet). The apps in question(omg i can't candy crush!!or breed dragons) still have icons, but dummy one's with "sd" on them, so i'm assuming android somehow lost a sd card. Thing is, i can find the apps in /data/data, or at least i think so cause they're named as the missing apps in app manager and they're not empty, so they're not lost per se, just android forgot where to look for them or something.

Question: Is there a way to see where an icon points to, ie where it expects to find the data, cache and so forth? Maybe i can then change these pointers, or create a symlink to from the "real" /data to the one android expected..

Thanks
[RAZR HD General] bluedegeon:
Hello. I just picked up a razr hd maxx and turns out it was a demo model at the local verizon store. I've searched the forums but haven't found anything on it, but is it possible to root it? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advanced :)
[RAZR HD General] SFG:
There's a ton of threads on xda about routing this phone. Assuming it was a working demo and not a dummy demo, you should be able to root it. Unlocking it will depend on if it's been updated to the latest. If it has then it's not in unlockable.
[RAZR HD General] bluedegeon:
Ah I see. What would be the latest software or firmware version? Also we're from the same city lol :)
[RAZR HD General] SFG:
Nice! I'm not sure but I'm sure a Google search will easily yield you the version number. Sorry I'm not trying to be unhelpful but the info is there. You can download the utility from the development section and it should have all that info in it for you as well as the root exploit. Should be fairly easy (less then a couple minutes.) Good luck
[RAZR HD General] bweN diorD:

Hi

I m new to this forum. pls help me if any body could tell that why cant we have full screen view of videos on 'Xda Exec'.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Pyrofer:
The Exec is 640x480.

If you encode your video for 640x480, it will be full screen. Most people have existing videos that are 320x240 for their old device, and look tiny.

MS took great care to make sure that all apps on the Exec Pixel double from 240x320 to 480x640, so as to not make use of the VGA screen at all, and look the same as the old device with qvga screen.

However the one app that we all WANTED to be able to pixel double, Media player, DOESNT!

Slap MS for that.

IE, we want in VGA and doubles to QVGA

WMP we want in QVGA (with option of vga) and it doesnt double at all.

Go figure.

For now, re-encode your videos.
