[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jklondon:
Been using the LG G2 Case but got a small 'scuff' mark - wasnt expecting this with Gorilla Glass. Can I take it back to retailer (3) or some way to repair this? THanks
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgolder:
I would doubt it. A scratch is the kind of thing that is classed as wear and tear. If the glass was described as scratchproof then you could take it back. As it is, isn't Gorilla Glass classed as scratch resistant? They know GG3 is hard and tough, but even Corning always use the word resistant, meaning damage can occur.

Unless you could prove the case caused the scuff of course?

I installed Pacman on my Note 2, and now I can't send text messages. Does anyone know how to fix this?

OK, I just did a factory reset, and went back to JellyBeans ROM, and I still can't send.

persistent alarm notification

This is my first time on pacman I was wondering if there is anyway to disable the alarm notification?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
The notification or the status bar notification?

To block the status bar notification go in to the alarm clock -> settings -> disable show icon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] savagerider750:
So I'm sure I'm mussing something but there is something draining my battery. Like 40% in 4 hours. I've done a full wipe and battery recalibration which works for a few hours but then the battery gets incredibly warm. The battery stats just show android system and android os at like 30% but I can't figure out what it would be.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
Sadly, sometimes AOSP has excessive battery drain. When I was on a TW rom, my battery life was amazing. After switching to AOSP simply cause I couldn't wait for 4.2-3 I noticed it was draining a bit faster. It might be wakelock though, so you can get a few apps to see what apps might be causing it. You can also get greenify.

Additionally, there was a known issue with the phone overheating/excessive battery drain since the switch over to 4.3.1. they talk about it in the pacrom, but said it would be fixed over the next few nightly builds

get devil kernel and you can also change the rate it charges at. i know it doesn't solve the issue, but it helps.

Hey, I have a problem :(

I just can't get my phone rooted. I did everything like in the instructions for .54 but it still won't install CWM or gives me Root access :/

Sometimes if I install root with restore after the reboot I get to the sim lock and it's broken. I mean like i can't type anything or i get a black screen with the SystemUI :/ But after flashing the MT27i_6.1.1.B.1.54_KERNEL.ftf then, everything works again except that it'S rooted ???

Could you help me please ? I have a Sola .54 :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] manudo:
Man, that's weird, I followed a video that makes you root the phone with the Bin4ry's restore method.

Did you hear about the pre-rooted ROM?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
Can we have the link to rooting method you have followed?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sujyoth99:
First downgrade to the previous ics rom as .54 can't be rooted directly then use bin4ry's root with restore. Then your phone will be rooted.

---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 PM ----------

You can use flashtool to flash .10 ics rom
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] joaorsfonseca:
hi guys.. i'm also trying to root my sola!!

i'm with .54 and i'm using flashtool to flash it to .10 ics!! but i'm stuck on flashtool, it keep saying:

"For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings" and i guarantee that i've set those two settings

what i'm doing wrong??

just to ensure that i'm entering flash mode correctly.. we should use the vol- instead of back button like said in flashtool right?

thanks friends!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
USB debugging isn't needed for flashing.

Have you installed the drivers, for the fone + flash and fasboot?

What windows version you have?

Open flashtool, don't flash anything, just connect the phone in flash mode and post the log here.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sujyoth99:
To enter flash mode first switch off your phone, then hold the vol- button while connecting it to your pc via usb you should be able to see a green light. What is the usb mode you are using? MTP or MSC? To check that go to settings/xperia/USB connectivity.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] siddheshvartak:
just flash the stock based costom kernel which is pre rooted and having cwm in it...

you will get it in your devlopment section.....

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
No this isn't flashmode, shutdown your phone, and connect to the USB cable while holding volumedown button.

Did you install the drivers after installing flashtool (glashmode and fastboot at the bottom of the list of drivers installer)?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] joaorsfonseca:

Now flash :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] joaorsfonseca:
I'll try it..

My final goal is to have this phone rooted and install a custom rom on it.. But first i need to flash it to .10 kernel because there is no way to root devices that already have .54 am i right?

I guess so, I don't have Sola I have Xperia P, but to root ICS it also need to have certain kernel.

Big success dude it's flashed LOL
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] joaorsfonseca:
When i go to android settings i still see there .54 version!! Not the one that i've used

--EDIT

Also, when comparing this lgo with the ones i've watched in youtube.. Those takes took much more time than mine
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
It's a kernel only file I assume and that's all you need for rooting, after rooting you flash kernel only of .54 and you're done.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] joaorsfonseca:
Indeed!! Well i think i'm done.. I've rooted and flash it back with .54 kernel.. At least now i have superuser app installed :)

Next steps.. Install cwm and a cool rom

I'm sorry if this question has been asked but I just bought a Z1 the C6906 from the Sony store yesterday. When I opened it all that was inside was the phone, start up guide and the charger.

Basically, unlocked ones don't come with headphones but carrier locked ones do.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saltywetman:
The buds included with the carrier unlocked versions are your typical throwaway buds you'd find included in mp3 players etc. Most people use their own buds for music anyways so you're not really missing out on anything. On the bright side your unlocked version likely allows for bootloader unlocking! I'd trade a set of crappy earbuds for that anyday!

AdFree doesn't seem to work anyone on Kit Kat. It looks like "/etc/hosts" is still there, so maybe it's just the app. Besides manual copy paste into the hosts file, I was curious if anyone was using a working ad block app in Kit Kat.

If you're on Chome and using the Reduce Data Usage feature, it will show ads even if you used an Ad blocker because the information goes through Google servers first for the compression then sends it to your phone.

Adfree works fine for me on 4.4 stock rooted, at least ad far as copying the hosts file goes. However, something in kit Kat is different and not all websites ads are blocked now.
[Nexus 4 General] enmbs:
Also installed firefox to check, if that made any difference. Strangely no ads on firefox. However, there are adverts present using Google chrome and some of the free apps that I installed via play store. Is it possible that android is by passing hosts file for chrome and other apps? BTW on my chrome there is no data reduction option present. I can only see "preload web pages" option, which I tried turning off and on but didn't make any difference.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magician_rd:
Hi XDA Forums,

I have a problem with my Note 2 for some reason.

Let me explain you what is wrong with my Note 2

I was sitting down and watching a movie, my phone was right next to me, The phone randomly turned off and after couple of second it had turned back on. It had showed the first every screen when you turn it on "Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100". Now from there it keeps on looping the same screen over and over again.

I had done some research before opening this thread, I saw that some people said I should try factory resetting it from the recovery mode, I then tried going on the recovery mode, it was not successful, it had showed me the same "Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100" screen and then repeated to boot loop it self again, I tried going on the recovery a couple of times but it didn't let me go on it.

Next I had then downloaded the 4.1.2 Official Firmware from SamMobile to flash it to stock again, I had then tried going on the Download Mode, It goes to the screen for Download Mode, but when I try pressing up to continue from the warning message it had then rebooted it itself and made it self stuck on the screen again.

Basically, my phone is stuck on boot loop, It does not let me access the recovery mode and it also does not let me access download mode.

ROM Using: Tigra_RomV3 4.3 Based ROM

Kernel Used: The Kernel which comes with the ROM or Stock, I didn't change the kernel myself.

If there is a internal problem does that mean I wont get help from the Warranty because the phone was rooted?

Hey all, this is my first thread in this forum! :good:

I'm new to roms and rom flashing, so be easy on me. I have a rooted note 2 (international version) with official samsung 4.1.2, and i'm getting prepared from now for the highly anticipated 4.3 update. I've been reading on forums on how to flash roms, and most of them say that i need to backup my current rom to avoid potential bricks, and they recommend using clockworkmod to backup. I tried it once but after the progress screen in recovrey mode, i ended up with an error.

My question is that is there a way to backup my rom directly to my PC? or even to my memory card? step by step instructions are most welcome since i'm not really familiar yet with advanced rom issues.

Its probably backups. Look in the TWRP folder with a root explorer and see what it is.

You should always have a stock backup. Keep that on computer in case something happens. But have at least one good backup on device. If its 6GB its probably 2-4 backups.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gerusz:
Hi all!

So I have a gigantic problem with the EFS. I haven't found a solution and standard solutions don't work, which is not surprising. Apparently I must be under some ancient curse and require unique solutions to every problem.

I have messed around with flashing some ROMs (mostly just flashing the latest PAC nightly then flashing back to the Milestone). Then once suddenly I got the dreaded unknown IMEI - unknown baseband message. OK, nothing I haven't encountered before (yes, I'm this lucky). I did the whole backup-delete-restore dance... but to no avail.

So, to recap: I have a full backup of the EFS partition but no amount of restoring can save me.

Any solutions?

EDIT: factory reset worked. I tried to avoid it, but it did. How?...

EDIT2: I have the culprit. Piecing together what I did and what I did the last time I encountered the problem, it's Titanium Backup. If I try restoring the previous Android ID, it messes up the phone. Let this be a cautionary warning for everyone.

EDIT3: Theory (FOR SCIENCE!): nv_data is encrypted using something generated from the android ID. Wiping and flashing a new ROM generates a new set of nv_data from some hidden store.
[HTC Sensation] rebar71:
Just wanted to give a shout out to the great XDA community and all the awesome developers we have for the Sensation.

I am moving on. I purchased a LG G2 a couple days ago. My sensation will still be in the family but I won't using it anymore. I'm going to flash it back to something closer to stock - probably Elegancia - and hand it down to my 13-year old son. Perhaps he'll find his way here and start flashing it again. There is still plenty a great development going on here for the Sensation. It almost makes me sad to be moving on.

And before anyone asks why a G2 instead of an N5... one word: BATTERY. With everything coming with a non-removable battery these days, I wanted phattest batt available. And considering the N5 doesn't offer up anything better than the G2 other than KitKat out of the box, the battery difference made the decision a no-brainer for me.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] FOSA:
Hi!

In order to conserve memory space on the Universal what are the fiiles that can be moved to the SD card without affecting its performance?

Lets start by making a list.

a) Moving IE cache, cookies and history through registry settings

Go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Cache".

You can change the default value "\Windows\Profiles\Guest\Temporary Internet Files" to "\Storage_Card\ie\cache".

Change the other values in the Shell Folders section of the registry to the folders you created and then soft reset.

b) Today's themes can be moved to the SD card's root directory

c) Ringtones?

d) Camera's pictures and recorded videos?

e) pim?

f) IE favorites?

g) Voice tags?

h) Others like dlls etc

Could the required reistry settings be posted here, if necessary

Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jamps:
This is a very interesting topic IMHO.

Worth to be "revived"!

What else can be moved to SD?

Thx!

JP
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lbendlin:
keep in mind that "main memory" is flash ROM on the Universal. Technically not very different from a SD card. More of a question "what files do I need to have on the device when the SD card is not inserted".

Unlock the extended ROM and move that contents over to the SD card - gives you 10 MB more Flash ROM.

There is not much point in moving DLLs and other stuff over to the SD card, since those DLLs etc are in the system ROM which is locked. they will still occupy the space even if you have "moved" them.

You cannot influence the true main memory (the RAM) any more in WM5
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Big Purple Penguin:
Picture & videos

Pictures and videos can already be stored to your SD card by opening the camera and clicking the setting button, then going to tools and the general tab. Select Storage Card from the drop down menu where it says 'Save as'
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dah54:
I wonder if in your ROM version the changes you make to PIE will keep. My experience with changing the default PIE cache size is that it will not stay on the new setting, but reverts to the old value. It may take a few days, to a week but changes are not persistent.
