MODS PLEASE MOVE THIS POST. I AM SORRY FOR POSTING IT IN THE WRONG SECTION.

I don't mean to be a downer on people who've done the hard work in porting or making a working custom rom but is there point to AOSP Roms if there is no working camera? I mean isn't it a pretty big functionality that needs to be working for the ROMS to be actually released as working?

Perhaps maybe its just me who thinks if you buy the Z1 based on the fact that it has a good camera you'd want that one minor feature.

Just a thought I decided to share.

(PS: When I say camera isn't working I mean complete functionality not "It just can't focus. It does work!"
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Now you have seen the point of the Q&A thread (i.e. its a place for posting questions that is better than the original dev forum) I think its time to answer your question.

the point is this is a developers forum, for developers and by developers. Not every single rom in this forum is a finished article but are works in progress. They are not here for you to be able to pick through and make your phone "cool"

They are here as on going pieces of work for people to help develop and work on.

Please read this

This is the highlight of that post and should be the last word in this thread
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagrim1:
Well, work done now doesn't have to be done in the future anymore so if they iron out all the issues already that saves a lot of time in the future right? Sure, without a working camera there will not be a lot of people using them, but I still hope sony fixes this issue in the future and when they do we at least have a bit to choose from already.

That and the fact that it might be more for themselves, to develop and get some experience or work on things, then for the end user.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djskarpia:
Hi guys, i'm here because i have (like lot of us) a problem that i think we can easily solve. I bought a nexus 5 and it was faulty, i requested RMA and the new one that they shipped me has the same problem: VIBRATION MOTOR IS LOOSE and sounds weak and crappy.

So, i've seen a teardown video of nexus 5 (easy to disassemble), and somewhere in the web i read that fixing this problem it's easy because the motor is simple to access and because the weak sound is caused by lack of adhesive on it to maintain it properly,so can i ask you where is the vibration motor and how to fix this problem? anyone of you have already done it? a video?

and most important : do i lose warranty if i open the back cover?

is that one the vibration motor?

THANKS to all
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digital_Cameltoe:
Hi there, I also have this problem with my Nexus and am quite PISSED THE F**** OF about it!!!!! I'm very sorry to hear that your second unit also has this issue. I'd suggest contacting google about a second RMA because it's not fair to to you to have a defective phone you paid hard earned money for. To answer your question it really should be VERY easy to repair the loose speaker. Simply follow along with iFixit's teardown here: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+5+Teardown/19016 the vibration motor can be seen here attached to the backplate: http://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/SJQTUlA5iTNuxHlb.huge it's the metallic circle underneath the camera flash lens. My assumption would be that if we opened our phones the vibration motor has likely separated from the backplate in which case you would just reattach it with some glue, not really sure what glue to use though. Still though my point stands that you SHOULD NOT have to do that!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djskarpia:
Thanks for helping me and for your words... I think exactly same thing .I'll ask a refund tomorrow,but Google quality control and service is not good.

Mine started like that, but after a week or so of use it seems fine, nice and tight like the N4 or any other phone... Maybe just take some bedding in?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chw2006:
Has anyone actually taken it apart and fixed this issue?

My motor sounds like there's a piece of something hitting it as it vibrates. I'm thinking about opening the phone up and seeing what's up.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catalysto:
I just received my N5 and also have a very "plastic-y"-sounding vibration. From what I've read, it seems to be a common issue that would likely be present in an exchange device (or it would develop again over time). In other words, it doesn't sound like it's worth it -- at least until it has been confirmed fixed in newer ones.

With that in mind and after also seeing how easy it is to take apart and get to the motor, I'm very tempted to crack her open myself. I'm hopeful that a dab of super glue (or something more appropriate) would fix the problem. It would be nice to hear the results from someone who has done this, but if we don't get that, I'll probably do it myself and report back. Unfortunately, I'm traveling this week, so that won't happen for several days. Anyone else able to try this in the meantime?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katsuru:
anyone managed to get their vibration working properly ? Mine just started sounding cheap and loose. :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marinho699:
i received my nexus 5 from an European amazon, and the vibration motor was faulty, so i asked for the replacement, and they sent me one, that had dead pixels and a massive light bleed, so i was reading and i found that the vibration motor is glued to the backcover, so i open both phones, switch the imei stickers inside the backcover and, i put the good vibration motor in the phone that was perfect except for the vibration, and that solved my problem

Sorry for my english
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katsuru:
So the motor itself was faulty ?

I tought it could be the glue or adhesive that they use that was not holding the motor in place. :confused:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marinho699:
I checked and the faulty one was well glued as the working one, so it was the motor itself,
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katsuru:
Thanks man, Now I need to wait for the replacement motor to hit the market :good:

How did you glue it back to the back cover ? What glue did you use.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marinho699:
i saw on ebay i think from a Spanish seller a OEM nexus 5 backcover from LG with the vibration motor included in the backcover, the backcover it self have two side tape in the lower part close to usb port, so i didnt use any glue because the tape was fine and sticky, the replacement cover from ebay has a brand new tape

Again sorry for my english

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] chris122380:
Does exdialer provide a good caller ID?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] furboom1240:
There are options

You're better off using a free app like Current Caller ID, Contactive, or Mr. Number. I don't think any dialer by itself has Caller ID, but Caller ID apps certainly have a dialer, including the ones I just mentioned.

Give it a shot!

Oh, almost forgot-

If you're using CM11 (like the latest nightly), activate number lookup from your dialer settings (also known as Call settings). OpenCNAM should be an option so you can use KitKat's dialer with Caller ID natively.

You WILL enjoy it a lot!

Press thanks if i helped...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kaldrak:
Hi everybody,

First of all, I must tell you that I've been using Android devices for over 3 years. So, I'm not a total newbie with Android. I must say that I've always been using Stock Android so far. Which makes me a real amateur in customisation.

That been said, here's my actual problem. I have rooted my tablet and unlocked the bootloader through the Transformer Toolkit available on Asus website following a step by step walkthrough. Everything went well. I have SuperSU installed and I'm rooted. Also, I have that little message saying my bootloader is unlocked when I turn my tablet on. No issue yet.

Since I'm still an amateur in installing custom ROM, I downloaded ROM Installer which is supposed to do all the dirty work for you. I chose CM 10.1.3 Stable since I wasn't interested in Nigthly yet. It downloaded normally. Once that was done, I used the ''Install ROM from SD Card'' option. It then rebooted in TWRP Recovery Mode, did a Backup and I wiped cache & Dalvik. It did what it had to.

Now, the tablet rebooted and the CynagenMod logo appeared with a blue circle spinning. Visually, it seemed to do something like an installation or something so I let it run all night. This morning, it hadn't change. The logo is still there with the spinning blue line. I can't do anything, no icon, nothing. I rebooted my tablet by holding the power button a few seconds. It restarted, showed the Asus logo and went back to the CyanogenMod logo again. Same thing as yesterday. I'm stuck there. Whatever I do, I can't get pass that logo.

My question is... Is there something I did wrong ? Otherwise, is there a way to get back to my stock 4.2.1 Android version ? I'm kinda afraid to do anything since I don't want to brick my tab.

I'm awaiting your tips and comments. Oh and please, don't be too harsh, English isn't my primary language and I tried to be as clear as possible. If you need more information, don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks in advance
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I do not run CM roms, but it sounds as if you are on the wrong bootloader. Check here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1957660

Try to get into TWRP by holding Volume Down and Power buttons. Hopefully you made a nandroid before you flashed??? Restore it and you are back on your stock rom.

Or copy the Asus firmware on a microSD (unzip the downloaded file once on your computer, put the resulting zip on the microSD) and flash that in TWRP.

But you will loose your custom recovery and probably all data if you do this, and will have to start from scratch.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kaldrak:
Thanks, I was able to restore my recovery and went back to my Stock ROM.

I tried flashing CROMI and it worked at first try. Now this pad is a bomb!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skola28:
While KitKat supports integrated system IR, the Nexus 5 does not have IR hardware; so no, you cannot use it as a standalone IR TV Remote without purchasing extra hardware.

And, as far as the second battery - the battery is not designed to be consumer 'replaceable'.

Hi!

I am Robbert from Apphamster.com and I would like to discuss with all you developers if you think white label applications (ready made apps) are going to play an important role in the future of app sales?

I believe that by now all applications have been designed by now and the new approach is to offer your existing apps to new customers.

"Of the shell app sales" so to speak.

What do you think?

Thanks,

I haven't tried it specifically for this ROM just in the past and I didn't think to just flash the tmo modem. Theoretically that would work but why try it if you already know the outcome.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
So what did you do after the bootloop? Return the phone or odin back? Just curious because if flashing the Tmo modem or odin makes all well again, then I might give it a try. It may have been the modem/rom combination that gave the bootloop. Gonna keep researching/googling.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Squilchi:
If I remember correctly I just flashed another ROM but Odin would work also its not gonna brick your device.

With all this talk of using another modem make sure you make an efs backup before attempting. There is a risk of losing your imie trying this

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
Not going to do it. Don't want to take that chance or waste all that time. Just trying to figure out why my connection doesn't drop anymore, but other users lose connection just by locking the screen etc. It happened to me at first but since I've reflashed 4.3 along with the latest devil kernel yesterday I don't lose connection anymore. Trying to isolate the issue. I was having some S note force closes and my stylus wouldn't write. I read somewhere it was because I skipped logging into a Samsung account at first boot. I wiped everything, reflashed everything and the second time I logged into my samsung account at startup. Pen works now and don't know if it's related, but I don't lose connection anymore. Can't think of anything else that I did differently.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EdKeys:
I just sent a pm to DerTeufel. I have a feeling it's kernel related. Hopefully he looks into it for us. As soon as I turn the screen off or let it time out 4G disconnects.

All weekend at home, connected to LTE, it was fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] newky_nuke:
that will only let you connect LTE or Edge servicee no 3g or 4g.. a quick fix for the data drops is to download a data toggle widget from the playstore and whenever you unlock your screen turn the data of and back using the widget and the connection comes right back.
