So I'm using GOBackup to backup SMS/MMS, contacts, call logs, etc.

Under 4.1.2 this worked just fine. Under 4.4 it seems the it cannot restore SMS/MMS.

How have you all been restoring this data?

Just did a total clean flash data/cache/system and I'm not seeing any status bar brightness control under display and lights. Am I just missing where the setting is?

---------- Post added at 07:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 AM ----------

4.4 only seems to restore SMS/mms with apps that can be the default messaging app so we've all been using sms backup and restore to restore messages then changing back to our preferred messaging app after the restore. I tried nandroid manager to restore but it didn't work. It did restore apps though.

I am on the latest build and I am having an issue with my Bluetooth headset (LG HBS-700), it connects and the music plays perfectly but it seem that the when the volume is turned all the way down it is way too loud. Has anyone experienced something similar or know a fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FeelLikeThis:
Not sure if anyone else has had this work for them, but for root I just go into developer settings and change it to adb and apps and I haven't had any root issues. Also as long as I don't switch to ART my FFC has been working in everything. I'm on 14th build with latest PA Gapps with clean flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Skyrocketing:
For some reason I've been getting an error where the gapps process crashes on boot after I updated to the latest rom build (15th). Is it imperative that I flash the gapps after each nightly? Also, will ART be supported normally as this comes along, instead of using the SuperSU work around?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alstair:
Had this issue yesterday as well, another clean flash fixed it for me - don't know what caused it though :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aznne0:
I purchased a phone off CL. I tried to put a SIM card in but it doesn't recognize one. So i realized the IMEI number on the back does not match the IMEI number in android OS. It doesn't say 000000 or one of those fake IMEI 049 numbers. It just has another IMEI number. My question is, is there a way to modify the numbers to match the IMEI number i have on the back of my phone?

I actually didn't know it didn't match until i sent it to samsung to fix. I thought it was just a problem with the SIM tray but they stated that the IMEI numbers don't match. As a result, they just sent my phone back without fixing anything.

Please help me out. It's on stock rom and not rooted

Again.. the phone is not blacklisted.. I want to change the IMEI number (software) shown in android OS to match the IMEI number (hardware) that i have shown on the back of my phone. I don't know why it's not the same.

Thanks for your help
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheAtheistOtaku:
when phones are refurbished, they change the imei number so its probably just a refurbished phone. Leave the imei alone. Im pretty sure the imei doesnt affect the phone recognizing the sim card anyway, but i could be wrong on that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
They do change the IMEI when they refurbish, but they also put a brand new sticker on it that shows the new IMEI. Also it's a different sticker than the one that comes on a new phone. It's a different size and it positioned differently. Makes it VERY clear if your phone is new or refurbished.

Aznn0, though you may not realize it what you bought is a stolen/blacklisted/insurance exchange/etc S4. It had a bad IMEI and the seller changed it (illegally) and then sold it to you without bothering to mention the device's history.

If you changed it to the IMEI listed on the back of the phone (And I am telling you in no undercertain terms that you should not!) I'd bet latge sums of money that the phone would go dead because the IMEI listed on the back is a blacklisted number.

So Samsung won't touch it ever again. They will never do a repair for you. If it breaks, you're on your own to fix it.

None of this is probably your fauly and I believe you didn't know what you bought. But it is what it is.

Regardless, asking questions about how to change an IMEI are expressly not permitted on XDA. I know you didn't know, so no hard feelings. But don't ask about how to change an IMEI here again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheAtheistOtaku:
yea they do put a new sticker on it, but allot of sellers on ebay/craigslist remove the sticker so that they can sell it as "new" and get a few extra bucks. most sellers assume that buyers wont ever find out which is probably true 90% of the time
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aznne0:
Thanks for all your replies.

It's weird because I put in both the IMEI numbers listed from the back of the phone and the one listed in android and they came back clean. I used one of those free esn checker websites. I know they aren't 100% reliable but damn..

I thought matching the IMEI number would do the trick.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Arghtoelectronics:
It sucks...

I'm having the exact same problem! Mine is an s4 active and when I called my phone service provider they didn't tell me that mine was blacklisted or anything either...

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaxxnux:
Well...not permanently. I can boot out of it.

I just rooted successfully with the method here.

When I boot into recovery, I see the horizontal android with his chest open and a red triangle. I can boot up by holding the volume (either up or down) and the power button.

ClockworkMod tells me I have both clockworkmod and TWRP installed. How do I successfully boot into Recovery?

Thanks guys!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bearsblack:
Boot into recovery with vol down+power then use the vol rocker to cycle to recovery mode. Use power button to execute. Pretty sure it says all that when you see the android screen..

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaxxnux:
Thanks but I don't have that option in Recovery.

An update: I followed the instructions here about installing a recovery tool by pushing it through adb. What I get now is the following:

[730] Fastboot Mode Started

[780] udc_start()

Is this a soft brick? If so, how do I reverse it? I'm very frustrated!

Thanks,

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] copualt3:
Can you get into download mode? Volume up + power. If so next go to lg g2 general forum and read the flash lg g2 to stock.

If your stuck in fast boot then there is another hoop to jump through. I'll get you the info in The morning.

Almost there. Got it rerooted, successfully installed TWRP. Flashed cyanogenmod (newest nightly). Forgot to install GAPPS though!

I don't see an option to reboot into recovery from cyanogenmod.

What's the process for rebooting into recovery? I've tried different combinations with the volume and power buttons but it doesn't seem to work.

Thanks,

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brax-01:
Hi,

first of all I have to say that I bricked my new Nook HD+ by accidently formating /bootdata.

With leapinlar's great help I got so far that my Nook runs ROMs but reboots under some reproducible and un-reproducible actions.

For example the Stock ROM counts up until 99%, reboots, counts up again and reboots randomly.

Sometimes it reaches the Language Selection but when I try to seach for WiFi networks either it reboots instantly or it searches for hours.

Rarely I reach the Homescreen via skipping the OOBE but when I try to enable WiFi in the setting it reboots.

When I install the Carbon ROM I reach the Homescreen with the error message "Unfortunately, Carbon Fibers has stopped.

The default Wallpaper is black (only live wallpapers can be setted, not the still ones) and when I try to enable WiFi it reboots and can't start the Rom again.

The CMW Log says:

CMW-based Recovery v6.0.2.8 for HD+ (Stock)
net.bt.name=Android
net.change=net.bt.name
dalvik.vm.stack-trace-file=/data/anr/traces.txt
init.svc.ueventd=running
init.svc.recovery=running

init.svc.adbd=running

I:Checking for extendedcommand
I:Skipping execution of extendedcommand, file not found...
I:Can't format unknown volume: /external_sd
I:Can't partition non-vfat: datamedia

I hope someone could help me to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance!

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brax-01:

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
It sounds like /data is not clearing properly. I recommend an 8 failed boot procedure. Interrupt the boot 8 times in a row (maker sure stock recovery is still installed first though).
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brax-01:
I tried this procedure but sadly it doesn't work for me. It still counts up to 99% initially and than reboots at random percentages.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doenen:
Hello!

True story: while listening to music through my headphones I was looking at the headphonejack cover (which makes it waterproof) and wondering that it is, compared to my old Moto Defy, quite fragile.

2 seconds later I drop the freaking thing and it hits right the ground right on the cover and it breaks in half... :eek:

Anyways I have found spare parts here:

http://stellatech.com/sony-lt25i-xperia-v-audio-stecker-cover-(schwarz),a,de,814797.html

I come from germany, so this would be no problem, however I wonder how do i insert the retaining mechanism without opening the xperia? I dont want to void the warranty completely!

And yes, the cover is important to me, I need it to be waterproof!

Thanks for your advice and experience!

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
I just want to thank you for the link. My USB cover is broken after 4 months only. Seems on the long run a shocking expensive OEM dock is cheaper than replacing these.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doenen:
you are welcome.

I think the USB-Cover will be next...especially since I need to charge it quite often. With my DEFY the covers held the whole 3 years of intense usage... :(

OT: which dockingstation do you use for the V!? the only one i can find with different plugs than the micro USB is for the Z!?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
Sony DK25. Look on Ebay. Haven't bought it yet. The price is so scary.

I am using a Chinese type that is meant for the Z, modded, but this is not good I don't recommend it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doenen:
well...I think a dock is very impractical anyways. i think this is a perfect time for building something ourselves. Isnt it just a 2 pole magnet plug, to 5V usb!?

Are there any technical specifications avaiable? I would find a plug much more practical than a docking station!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doenen:
And how do you plan on reparing your broken USB cover? Will u open the phone? greetings!

daniel
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
If I have the part there are plenty small handphone workshops here who can do that for a few $. Sorry I also don't know what you want to know.

With a smart design it would be just squeezing the part into some hole for self installation, and Sony would sell these caps in packs of 3 for $ 9.95.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] doenen:
I agree.

And i know which shops u are talking about, question is, will you lose warranty if they have to open the phone!?

I don't know if this is the ROM upgrade (latest Wizzard test rom, but it started before, when I was on the Himalaya ROM), or if it's my phone company, but I'm loosing a lot of SMS: People send me messages, and I don't get them! Does anybody else see this, or should I get my phone company to fix something?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] snorbaard:
Nope, you broke something. :lol:

The phone company will get very confused if you try to explain to them what you did.

sms reception is a pretty basic function for the phones, so if you're not receiving ANY, then there's a software hook that's not being activated.

Try to roll back to another ROM.

Curious, you say you're using the Wizard ROM, but used the Himalaya ROM before that, yet you're posting in the Blue Angel forum.. Poor phone ! :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Mastiff:
No, I'm not loosing all. I just got two SMS warning me of this reply! :D Anyway, I use Maimach's test ROM's, and I must say that both have been better than the leaked BA WM5 ROM I used before them. But I do loose some SMS. They just don't arrive, or at least they don't show up.

SMS receiving problem

there are quite a few posts here about this problem (see posts under my name)

the problem seems to happen on all derivates of the XDA and is network independant.

The problem is linked to the XDA "waking up" and a weak signal. I can recreate this problem at will. The XDA 2i will wake up on receiving an SMS but immediately loose the network. It will re- acquire it but no SMS notification will show and the SMS will also not be received (but a confirmation message will be delivered to the sender). If you send two SMS the first one will be lost and the second one (now that the XDA is awake already) will be received fine.

see if you can recreate this as well
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Mastiff:
I can confirm it, especially since I hear the SMS arrive on the car radio (static from the cellphone), but then nothing happens. This didn't happen, at least not as much, under 2003SE.

**Update 02/11/2015**

Google made some changes on the back end, so the url I was using "http://m.youtube.com/watch?ajax=1&tsp=1&v={0}&dummy={1}"; now returns a "redirect" message instead of the expected data. I can get it to work, but it will be ugly as I need to now manually parse the info out of the mobile html page.

I am leaving this up as it appears to be still working in other countries.

********

All,

Here is the official patched Youtube app! Hopefully this will tide everyone over until Google and Microsoft stop fighting!

Special thanks to [MENTION=4285613]AlvinPhilemon[/MENTION] for providing the unencrypted xap!

Special thanks to [MENTION=262620]Topogigi[/MENTION] for spurring me on this afternoon.

I am uploading two versions:

1. Youtube_Interop.xap for interop-unlocked devices that can use ID_CAP_MEDIALIB_PHOTO_FULL

2. Youtube_NoInterop.xap for developer unlocked devices.

If you are having trouble using the "Application Deployment" tool located in the Windows Phone 8 SDK(keep getting an error that says "Error - Deployment optimization failed due to an invalid assembly. Rebuild your source projects and try again."), use the deployment tool that comes with WP8 PowerTools. http://wptools.codeplex.com/

Enjoy and post your results!

Don't forget to say "Thanks!" ;)

**EDIT**

I have updated the versions in this post to include a properly compiled version of "YouTube.TaskAgent.dll" This should take care of any AV warnings with the original version.

This dll controls the live tiles! let me know if they still work.

**EDIT 2* I accidentally uploaded the wrong version of the Youtube_Interop_P2.xap earlier. It has the wrong "YouTube.ViewModel.dll" in it.

***P3 UPDATE***

All, I give you the P3 Update! It includes the following Fixes & Enhancements:

1. Vevo/Encrypted videos should be working for now. (Hopefully Youtube won't update their API for a while lol)

2. I removed that pesky "the content owner did not make this available for mobile" message. (It looked implemented wrong anyways) ;)

3. This version comes with 100% less ads :) (Felt like "sticking it to the man" lol)

4. COMMENTS now work 100%

***P3.1 UPDATE***

1. "High Quality" mode working again! Fixed all videos default to pulling from m.youtube.com regardless of encryption status.

***P3.2 UPDATE***

1. "High Quality" mode working for ALL VIDEOS INCLUDING ENCRYPTED!!!

Things that still need work:

1. Video Upload is broken still. I will take a look at it as I have time...I am guessing it is a parsing issue. The Interop-Unlocked version may "just work" on an ATIV S for uploads. I need someone to test.

2. I would like to update the signature decryption methods to make it ia bit more "future-proof". IF anyone knows a good way to parse the html5 player, I may give that a shot.

As always, Enjoy and thanks for all the feedback and support! :)

[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] josaya:

[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] compu829:
[MENTION=5505820]Shahar28[/MENTION] [MENTION=586014]znial[/MENTION] It is being flagged as "malware" because I hex-edited a new developer key into the "YouTube.TaskAgent.dll" file. If you want to unzip it, and make your AV check all the files individually, that is the one it will complain about. This was more efficient instead of de-compiling and re-compiling because only one thing needed to be changed. As a byproduct of this, none of the checksums built into the dll match anymore.

[MENTION=592256]onlinespending[/MENTION] what tool are you using to deploy this? I used the built-in "Application Deployment" tool built into the WP8 SDK. I am guessing it is complaining due to what I said above.

[MENTION=1902118]josaya[/MENTION] Windows Phone 8 only. Plus you lucky WP7.8 users have plenty of nice youtube clients written by OEMs and other developers, like HTC :)
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] josaya:

[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] onlinespending:
Yeah, I'm using the built in Application Deployment as part of the WP8 SDK. I was able to sideload a decrypted swapchat.xap I found, so I can certainly side load other xaps. Is there anyway to decompile and recompile the DLL as you suggested? Would love to get this working.

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 PM ----------
