[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deethrope:
Dear xda community,

Since I received my Nexus 5 more than a week ago I am experiencing something which keeps me thinking.

Sometimes when I want to pick up my phone to check something, the screen will wake up without me touching any buttons. Is this supposed to happen?

What's happening quite often because of that is: I want to pick up my phone -> grabbing it -> screen awakes -> but since I am pushing the power button myself half a second later -> screen turns dark again. This is a little annoying from time to time...

I tried to recreate this incident but it just happens every ~30th time.While doing this I keep attention not to hit a button accidentally.

Any Ideas whats going on? Bug or feature? Are you experiencing something similar?

Thank you and best regards!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockinsnake:
Same thing happening with my Nexus 5. Screen opens on picking it up. It happens on randomly.

I cannot see any pattern though.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
Could be a faulty power button switch? Making a connection under the movement?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It will wake up if the surface you put it on has a magnet in or near it. It's the hall effect sensor that does this, used for a cases that wake up the device when opened
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
Are you using a Custom rom?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madgibbon:
There are some custom ROM/Kernel combo's which give the option to wake the phone by double tapping the screen. However this isn't present in stock. As some have already said the phone will wake if placed near a magnet, if I put my N5 on top my iPad it wakes when I pick it up. If none of these apply its probably faulty.

Sorry for my Eng

Big Thank
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
P6-T00 is the mobile version. Its data service is TD-SCDMA.

See the network specs here : http://www.vmall.com/product/590.html

Use chrome browser to translate.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] jokeuk:
So can use 3G or not ?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] alex.79:
Probably no, because TD-SCDMA is used only in China.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jony121:
Hey guys, I really want to strip all the google apps and the samsung apps from a rom. Get it down to a cyanogen level. The stock rom is Odin but I can make a recovery rom.

I don't expect anyone to waste their time spoon feeding me and I am honestly too stupid and busy to learn. What I am looking for is a close to zero learning curve way of stripping a rom.

Is it possible and how?

P.S.

And yes, someone has already done it but they are gone and the links are dead.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smirciat:
Please, someone with more experience correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you just find a core version of Gapps.zip that is compatible with your kernel, boot to recovery, format system partition, then flash the Gapps?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jony121:
That sounds feasible. Though I think there are unofficial apk that you can just install rather than have to flash an update. I know cyanogen do that.

Did a lot of searching and got three good leads.

Is it possible to just root my phone?

if so how do i do it?

All the posts I have seen go into unlocking and then rooting
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opssemnik:
you will need to unlock to flash custom zip, but u can relock after
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
Question - why? What do you want to root your phone for if not to use the wonderful tools of root. Why do you think fully rooting your phone will harm something. Locked or unlocked bootloader is not going to affect your phone. Rooted stock rom with recovery will not make it act funny.... Sorry not putting you out there but just asking why? Feel free to ignore me if you must... :D

Edit: Sorry to answer your question like the post above said you can root and then lock it right back up if that is your preference
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gjjh25:
I have come from an HTC Desire, which I rooted and had a custom rom (Cyganonmod) on and was very happy with it.

I am still not sure of what I would gain by doing the same with my Nexus 4 ?

any advice is much appreciated.

Is this new Cyganonmod installer the best way to go?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
This phone is built for rooting and modding. You wont know what benefit you have until you either read up and see if the mods are ones you want or actually flash a rom. Sure try the CM installer but if you dont toolkits or just basic knowledge of android can get this phone roooted in minutes.

the CM rom on your HTC will give you the same benefits on your Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gjjh25:
Thanks, what do you recommend for the easiest way to unlock and root then?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
I used a toolkit but honestly you can unlock manually by just booting into bootloader mode. Go into development and try Wugs Toolkit.... Rooting the phone is easy and all methods are relatively the same.

I do not see anything wrong with giving CM a try as well
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
I recommend you to stick to your original plan, its your phone, do what you like, you don't need to flash custom roms if you don't want to. I am using stock kernel and stock KitKat right now and the performance is excellent.

Follow these instructions to unlock bootloader, install latest kitkat factory image, install custom TWRP recovery, and root. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2010312

The links to fastboot package and driver required is in my signature.

Link to download factory image: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Link for latest TWRP: TWRP recovery

Link for latest SuperSU package: SuperSU package

After you do all that, in bootloader menu, you can flash back the stock recovery (recovery.img), which is location in the "image-occam-******.zip" of the factory image. (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)

Then lock your bootloader by "fastboot oem lock". You can also use BootUnlocker to lock and unlock your bootloader on the fly while in the phone, without losing your data, since everytime you do fastboot oem unlock, it will wipe the entire device.

By using stock rom, stock recovery, stock kernel and temporarily unroot (SuperSU) or hide root (SuperSU paid version), it allows you to receive future OTA updates from Google. If you want to modify your phones more while staying with stock, read up on Xposed Framework and its module Gravity Box, which is not yet compatible with Android 4.4 but will be eventually.

Just remember if you don't have custom recovery, once something goes wrong and your phone can't boot, its very hard to save the data inside. Once you have custom recovery like TWRP, you can make a backup of your stock image (which also backup your stock kernel) and try out other custom roms and easily go back to stock, then you can flash stock recovery again to receive OTA updates.

Thanks for advice everyone.

I rooted and unlocked with Wugfresh over the weekend. A lot easier than I thought it would be:)
[Nook Touch General] heathenasparagus:
Hi,

I have rooted NST, installed Any Soft Keyboard from the market as well as pushed a copy in the /system/apps folder.

When trying to use Nook Color Tools to switch the keyboard, it doesn't show that the Any soft keyboard exists.

Any ideas ?
[Nook Touch General] cowbutt:
Did you reboot after pushing the apk into /system/apps ?
[Nook Touch General] richardcoop:
Same problem, did reboot
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
This is specific to my keyboard app.

Use it as a guide to do your own keyboard thing.

adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db

sqlite3 settings.db
update secure set value='com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME:com.temblast.nullkbd/.NullKeyboard' where name='enabled_input_methods';
update secure set value='com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME' where name='default_input_method';
.q

adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
[Nook Touch General] Y-3:
You need to reinstall from the system/app folder once you move them.
[Nook Touch General] richardcoop:
Installing from there didn't help.:(
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Enabling multiple IMEs (Input Method Editors) and selecting them is usually part of Settings.apk

If you have the stock Nook Settings.apk this is not included.

The easiest way to enable another IME is using SQLite to modify settings.db in my previous post.

You could also use Settings.apk taken from the Emulator in the SDK.

That would require you to re-sign your entire system with a new signature.

Hi, I have a TP-Link TL-WR1043ND v1.8 with firmware 130428.

The Chromecast works great with it but all my devices loses internet access when watching netflix on the chromecast.

Wired connections work great.

If I unplug the chromecast, everything, (laptops, phones, tablets) works again without issues.

Anyone have this issue?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
Here's the best solution....I bought a pack of 15 screen protectors (thats right!) for just around 15 USDs! The quality is great, and I have no issues....

Look around for Ultra-Slim Screen protectors from Pocket Solutions for the I-mate Jasjar, and you should find it....if you're having trouble finding the url, let me know and I could help ;-)

cheers,

San
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
Another thing that I forgot to mention is that, it uses "static" to cling on to the screen and NO adhesives...this ensures that it doesn't ruin your display!

I also love these, as they extremely slim making it seem as if you had no screen protector installed! I think their line of products are branded under the name ScreenGuardZ....

San
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] darkblak:
Before you put a screen protector on, I would guess that you should clean the screen first - otherwise you are just trapping dirt under the screen protector.

My question is...what do you use to clean the screen with? I don't use screen protectors and would be interested in finding out what to use to clean the screen with. Any thoughts?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] StevePritchard:
Spectacle lens cloth, and the odd "breath" to clear stubborn marks.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] knowsleyroader:
Whats the best tip for getting them on without bubbles ? Put one on my wizard and its bubble city.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] StevePritchard:
My tips would be:

1. Make sure your screen is as clean and dust free as possible.

2. Peel just a little of the backing off from one end and offer up the screen protector to the screen.

3. Peel the backing off, and as you do so the protector will attach to the screen.

4. If have bubbles then lift a little and re-apply using something flat/smooth to push it down (DON'T PRESS TOO HARD - YOU WILL DAMAGE YOUR SCREEN).

5. If you have dust under there, a straightened paper clip with a blob of Blu-Tac on the end will be able to reach in and get the dust as you lift the protector.

6. If you need to lift the protector, don't try to use something to prize the edge up - you will mark the protector, just use cellotape (clear sticky tape) on the protector, and pull on that - it will pull the protector up.

Cheers,

Steve.

Hey guys...

I need to text a group in my contacts and I would like to select certain contacts within that group. I used to be able to do this in jelly bean, but can't seem to do it in kit Kat. I know GoSms does it, but I find that app way to heavy and it generally slows down the phone. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strongergravity:
Try Textra. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.textra

It is similar to the stock 4.3 messaging app, but does groups.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zinger17:
Thanks for the reply, but with Textra, you can text to a group but you can select certain members of that group. That app is so close to being perfect though. Any other suggestions? This is impossible with hangouts I guess?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Battleship:
Try Smart Messenger.

I'm not sure if you can do what you're describing with Hangouts, but I do know that group SMS in Hangouts are automatically sent as MMS. If you or anyone else you text with gets charged per MMS, that's going to be an issue.

Here are some themes I have acquired over the past week or so since getting my Lg p-769 I figured I would share. These are some pretty cool ones (IMO). Let me know what you think! My personal favorites would have to be miui or prada! I did not create any of these themes just passing them on. Now as far as I know you

MUST

be rooted to use these themes. You must also have es file explorer or similar program with copy/cut capabilities. Now what you need to do is download the files.

BEFORE

installing you must enter your file explorer program. Find where you downloaded these files and copy or cut them. Now go to

/device

with the file explorer. Find the folder called

"system"

. Once you find this folder open it and look for another file call

"app"

. You must find the folder called

"app"

do not confuse it with the folder called

"apps"

. Now open the folder

"app"

. Upon opening the folder paste the downloaded files in this folder. Now click on each one and install. That is all there is to it! Now under settings/themes they will be there! Be advised just downloading and installing will not work! You must follow the above method or it will not work! Make sure you grant your file program Superuser access or you will receive a error when trying to paste to the "app" folder. Enjoy! :good::D

Differently from others who find that headphones volume is low, I think that what is really low is the speaker volume.

Using, or should I say trying to use, this phone for a call inside a car using the speaker is impossible... the volume is too low and the car noise, even at lower speeds will be higher.

Is there a way to increase the volume without changing kernel or rom? Maybe some system option like the one that can be used on ATT LG G2.

Thanks.
