[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Condex:
Hi I just bought MDA Pro badged as T-Mobile in Brunei. The software it came with is O2 !! ?? so someone has changed it from the German OS from original T-Mobile maybe and made it English using O2 software maybe.

Anyway it all works ok apart from I can't synch to my PC running MS Outlook 2003.

I have updated my Active synch to 4.1. My old XDAII still synchs no problem but new MDA gives support code 85010014.

Any ideas

Many thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] JaySea:
if you can do all the other syncing but not the office2003 sync you should repair your installation of office2003. it is there in the help tab.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Condex:
Thanks for the help but I have already tried that. Also reinstalled activsync and repaired it. I see from other sources on the web (take a look at google) that this is happening to a LOT of users but NO answers yet. Not that seem to WORK anyway and OF COURSE nothing from MS!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] mosesJJ:
Just do search for the error code here in the forum and I'm sure you'll find an answer.

I'm not quite sure, as I recall you need to unistall & reinstall outlook, as well as deleting more than one or two partnership is in active sync.

Thanks

Ive noticed many people with older TWRP versions having problems with the updater script when installing 4.4 roms you need to be on the latest version of twrp (CWM may also need to be on a recent version). This tutorial will cover TWRP. Goo manager will not work for installing the latest TWRP recovery version on grouper. The following will give you the basics on how to use fastboot to flash a recovery.img (In this case twrp)

Things you will need:

A PC

Android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

TWRP recovery.img for grouper http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/grouper

A basic understanding of terminal/command prompt

You will need a PC and the android SDK (SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) for fastboot to push the recovery file. TWRP can be found here (http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/grouper) you need the 2.6.3.0 version. Extract your android sdk and move your twrp image file (openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-grouper.img) to the platform-tools folder in the sdk (This is where fastboot/adb are). For simplicity's sake rename your twrp file to recovery.img Enter command prompt or terminal depending on what OS you are using (windows/linux) and navigate to to your platform-tools folder in the SDK folder (where you should have moved your recovery.img) using the cd command. (plug device in) Once there check to see if you device is connected and seen with the

adb devices

command hopefully you will see a wonky alpha numeric code with "device" after it. If you dont you need to enter developer setting to enable adb. You do that by going into settings/about tablet and tapping build number 7 times. That should give you a developer options in settings check to make sure USB debugging is enabled. If all is well reboot your device into the boot loader with the

adb reboot bootloader

command once your device is at the bootloader check fastboot with

fastboot devices

you should see another wonky output with "fastboot" after it. The final command to push your new twrp image will be

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

You should see some output saying how long it took to push the file it should not take that long. That should cover it! Now you should be good to go with the 4.4 rom's floating around.

There are many tutorials online explaining this process I just thought customizing it to the grouper would help those less comfortable with adb/fastboot. It's always a good idea to know how to use these tools you never know when you might need to use them. Anyone with question's feel free to ask.
[Nexus 7 General] blankit:
Or just install flashify and it basically does all of this for you. I did it and it worked.
[Nexus 7 General] RBMacGregor:
That will work. But knowing your way around adb/fastboot can't hurt. There won't always be a GUI to do everything for you.
[Nexus 7 General] nimrodity:
Didn't know of flashify, awesome. Thx, really fast and easy method. Best thing is I didn't even need my pc for it
[Nexus 7 General] pughie:
Thanks for the tutorial but surely this belongs in q&a, help etc not android development ;p
[Nexus 7 General] sgt. meow:
Actually it's suited to the General section (guides and all). I appreciate you advising the fastboot method (I use it too), but it can b a pain for people who don't have their devices configured (configuring it can be a pain sometimes too). Flashify, as one member said, is a great alternative. BUT you *may* brick your device if you flash something to the wrong block device (possibility of that happening to an expert user: 0.0001%; possibility of that happening to a new user: 1%). Just my two cents.
[Nexus 7 General] RBMacGregor:
I agree guys this should be in general. I've never posted anything but a build and didn't even think about it. Do I need to get a mod to move it? As for flashify sounds like a great tool. I've never had the pleasure of using it but if it works and people are comfortable with it more power to it. Personally fastboot is what I'm comfortable with it might seem a little in depth but really its quite simple especially if you use adb for logcats and are setup.

OP No worries, moved and thank you.
[Nexus 7 General] og1502:
To flash 4.4 ROMs one could follow this tutorial, or one could simply flash this .zip of the latest version of CWM:

So, i've bricked it already.

Hello experts and knowledgeable persons!

First, i'm a noob.

I decided to flash KitKat as I play a WebView based game and thought the WebView Chromium of KitKat might make it run faster as it ran pretty slow. On the Paranoid Google+ page it says you need TWP 2.6 later and other sites say 2.6.x. I had 2.6.0.0, so did a backup of boot, data, system and recovery, copied to PC and then tried installing KitKat, it failed. So I updated to TWRP 2.6.3.0 and it failed again, tried a second time and it updated.

The game didn't work well on KitKat, so I restored my original version. I then decided to take screenshot of game not working on KitKat to complain, so tried installing KitKat again forgetting to update to 2.6.3.0 as the restoration of the backup restored the prevous 2.6.0.0 recovery, was a noob and tried again and i'm now left with a Nexus 7 in a boot logo loop.

Restoring the backup fails, as does installing the KitKat Zip or Opensensation . If I try flashing TWRP 2.6.3.0 via fastboot, it says success, but when I reboot the recovery i'm still in 2.6.0.0. I can boot into 2.6.3.0 using "fastboot boot", but it still won't restore the backup or flash. I also have a backup of the OpenSensation rom (wanted to try PDroid and it was the only rom I could find prepatched) which I made on 2.6.3.0, that won't restore either.

So now what do I do, as I don't want to make things worse. I am doing a factory reset before installing. The error i'm getting is "symlink: some failed"", "can't open destination log file: '/cache/recovery/log'" and "E:Unable to open '/cache/recovery/log'"
[Nexus 7 General] RBMacGregor:
I'm sure this is not what you want to hear but if all else fails push the factory.IMG you will be starting from square one. You can try pulling your backups off but might as well start over for 4.4
[Nexus 7 General] kparikh82276:
Thank you very much for this recommendation. Really nice. Simple and took out all the nervousness of using the computer to push these files etc.

REally truly best for flashaholics.
[Nexus 7 General] Ergina95:
question

Won't it work too if you just flash the zip from twrp itself? I'm running 2.6.3.2 and I read somewhere that i can simply install the new version (2.7.0.0.) zip from the recovery itself..Is it right??
[Nexus 7 General] Mookie2014:
Did you ever try just flashing it and if so, did it work?
[Nexus 7 General] 5zal07:
for some reason i cannot download the twrp ..it stuck at 99%

tried 2 version of twrp..hurm
[Nexus 7 General] Ergina95:
yeap! did it! worked perfectly :good: just flash zip updates through the recovery :D
[HTC One X] shinigamikris:
Hey

Just wondering if anyone has come across a ROM where you can disable the touch buttons down the bottom of the phone and their lights and just use the on screen ones?

Cheers
[HTC One X] webpatrick:
Why would you want that? It takes up screensize!

And I don't know if it's posible cause I think Android checks for hardware buttons (although they are soft-touch ;) )
[HTC One X] treebill:
You can enable them in the probam rom, not sire of you can disable the soft keys though
[HTC One X] shinigamikris:
Thanks guys. Same as my experience. Just wondering if there was anyway to disable them all together..

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] unstab1e1199:
I did a noob move and tried to wipe my data with twrp. Now I have no rom and can only get into twrp. I have minimal adb and fastboot installed into C: and I have my rom sitting in that folder. ADB devices shows my device in recovery and sideload depending on which I have it set to. Still no combination of adb push or sideload will go through. Am I missing something? I have read a few threads on this b4 posting I just can't seem to get any of those solutions to work.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] exzacklyright:
So what does it say when it doesn't go through? If adb devices lists your device it should work
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] unstab1e1199:
Abd push with filepath gives me the help command...adb push with just the zip tells me it does not exist. Sideload just gives me the help command.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] slimeygecko:
I believe you have to go into fastboot to flash the rom
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] unstab1e1199:
For anyone else that makes my mistake. If u can't get abd to push the zip. Try dragging the zip file into the command window after typing adb push. Thanks to those that helped me.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassanman1997:
Okay so I have been playing asphalt 8 on my tablet z for about a month, and i have had this low res issue since day one on the game

I was waiting for game loft to update it, but still its not fixed......

I know I'm not the only one who is facing this issue, I think that the games runs on 720 resolution and doesn't take the advantage of 1080 p screen

Maybe it's because adreno 320 cant handle 1080 resolution, who knows ...

Is there any way to fix it???

:confused:
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larditi:
How did you get it? Google Play says it's not compatible with my device (SGP312) so I can't install it.

Thanks.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassanman1997:
i know it sid, that and its really frustrating >:( ......

simple, 2 ways to get it .......

1. either run cyanogenmod (any version) on it, it will say its compatible, and it is going to download and install like a charm.

2. or you can keep stock sony firmware and install it by an apk and also download the sd files needed sd files needed for it

both ways, the game runs really well at any setting, but at a low resolution :(

i did a review of it, check it out:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbjf3buTIwg

dont know how to fix it :confused:
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cantenna:
I was sable to increase quality in the options menu. Looks great here
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassanman1997:
i dont think that there is an option to increase the resolution, im not asking if it can run at high settings or not, because i know it can, its about the screen resolution

it looks good if you play it from a distance and dont really pay attention to pixels, but once you do, you can see lines making up the cars, and the buildings and the wires

here is a good example, asphalt 7 and asphalt 8 both look completely different, asphalt 8 i think runs at a good resolution than asphalt 8

one more example can be found in real racing 3

real racing 3 looks terrible on xperia tablet z, maybe its not optimized

go ahead and try real racing 3 and tell me how does it look ???:confused:
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cantenna:
Yes real racing does look awful but so is the game in my opinion compared to asphalt 8 .

I run FXP242-cm-10.1-20131021-UNOFFICIAL-pollux_windy.zip rom .

It features expanded desktop and pie controls = more screen real estate. Consequently I probably get a better picture than a user of this tablet without these features. Try that if you haven't already
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 5525469:
Hey guys,

I'm new to this place and this is my first ever port. :D

I recently flashed my Nexus 4 with the PA AOSP 4.4 rom. After rooting and busyboxing and what not, I installed LMT launcher v1.912. And you guessed it, some of the functions are not working - specifically the back and menu functions. Has anyone else experienced this issue and is the dev of LMT aware of this issue/working on fixing it?

P.S. Sorry but I couldn't post in the dev forum because again, I'm new to this place. :)

Thanks in advance for replies!

UPDATE: It appears that root may be broken on my phone. Though I'm not entirely sure as SuperSU installed just fine and does not show any errors when I launch the SuperSU app. Given these issues, I just reflashed 4.3 and went back to LMT and SuperSU both working just fine.

What your talking about is called animation scale, not lag. In developer options you can set the setting that suits you best.

S4 and lag don't go together.

Just curious how you handle this, because everybody says something different:

First use: completely charge the battery and then complete discharge, or first complete discharge and the full charge?

I also remember someone telling me that you shouldn't let your battery run completely empty, is that true?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannstarr:
just charge it when it needs it, dont worry about what % its at, and dont worry about running them right down... the phone will power down before it gets to a dangerous level for the battery.

dont leave it plugged in all the time when its sat at 100, dont leave it down at 0 and just forget about it for weeks on end...

thats all you need to know

I don't buy the bit about wireless charging. I've used my Nexus 4 with an LG wireless charger daily for almost a year now and haven't noticed any side effects with battery drain or overheating. In fact, I'd argue that the Nexus 4 and my Nexus 7 get hotter when plugged in than they do on the wireless charger. I have absolutely no reservations about using the Nexus 5 on my LG wireless charger when it arrives this week.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00261:
Well the charge and discharge isn't necessary, IIRC that's only for older battery technologies like Ni-Cd batteries (Nickel-Cadmium). On the other side, you probably shouldn't let it discharge all the way since these are Li-Po and it could shorten their lifespan (apparently).

This is what I've done with every phone I've had. I only had issues with one battery. I used to have sprint and I had the Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4g Touch. After about 8 months the battery got fat (they said it was called a swollen battery at the sprint store) and it kept turning off. They gave me a new battery at the sprint store and I continued with my routine above and never had any other issues with it or any other phones.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enddo:
this is right on both accounts. you dont need to discharge it all the way, and doing so will reduce its life a little. i recently read about lithium poly batteries and the particular blog i was reading talked about running the battery down to 20% then charging it to 80%

i think when i first get the device i will use it down to 0%, charge it up to 100% uninterrupted and then hopefully keep it within that 20/80 range and probably doing a 0-100 refresh on the first of every month

u have to calibrate the battery too
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexktz:
Over the last month I've had somewhat of a binge of buying phones from Amazon and returning them for one reason or another and I've noticed that the first 1-3 days of phone ownership are usually the toughest on the phone / battery.

I've owned over the last 2 months (in order):

- S4

- HTC One (x3 as 2 were faulty out the box)

- LG G2

- S4

- N5

I've decided on the N5 as being the best for a number of reasons, but my favourite is price.

I havn't worked out whether it's a combination of new phone = more usage or new phone = requires battery calibration. But the N5 is the only device out the major players that actually made it through day 2 (the day after it came out the box) without a charge midway, infact it's ONLY JUST gone on the charger after some 28 hours of moderate (3 1/2 hours screen on) usage.

My gut feeling is that once you're out the first week just use the damn thing, but the first few charges can make a difference to how quickly the battery feels calibrated. My N5 came with 50% charge out the box, I ran it down to 0% and topped up charge as much as I could the first day. Once I got home I once more let it 0% and then did a full 0-100% recharge. Then my 28 hour experiment started and now I'll just use it as normal, and not worry.
