[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wassupdog:
Hello.

I flashed on my Nexus 4 Android 4.4 Kitkat with Google factory images.

This version sucks.

Battery lame, no new launcher (until I downloaded Nexus 5 launcher but not the icons are blurrish).

How can I return to 4.3?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tom540:
1) You need more battery cycles to get a real feel for the battery

2) Nova launcher beta has all the new launchers features without GNow, so you can make the icons smaller and less blurry

But if you really want 4.3 again, just flash the 4.3 factory images
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wassupdog:
Thanks you.

Hi there

The sim shipped with this card doesn’t allow voice calls.

When i put this sim on jasjar i get "U" Letter from umts on the startbar and the no service on the Phone...

Strange...

Any one knows how to use this to data only communications?

Thank you
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skearon:
Strange I used the SIM from my Vodafone Datacard and it works fine in my Jasjar.

I can also make voice calls, however there is a much higher charge
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Jazza:
I have it working. Set up a new GPRS connection in settings/connections with APN=internet and username=web and password=web.

Works a treat. U in the status bar means it has detected 3G, G in the status bar means GPRS only.

Hope this helps.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] fcaeiro:
Did guys have the phone part working ?

in my the phone status i get "no service" and i can't get the phone app to start....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ncruz:
forget the phone app, it's a data only card...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] fcaeiro:
Yep i know that i just want it to check if they have the same behavior...

Are you using that sim on jasjar ?

thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ncruz:
I don't have it :) I'm just telling you what i've found after talking with some friends that have it (but not on a jasjar).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Killbillprime:
It all depends on if your sim card is ona data only price plan, if it is then you wont get voice calls, give vodafone customer serivces a call to confirm
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] chris_khho:
I used the setting but still cannot connected, is it not working for "pay as you go" card???

Cheers,
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ncruz:
Thoose settings are for vodafone portugal, in other countries you have to check their webpage and confirm...

In portugal pay as you go and monthly are the same settings... if you have an clubimate account you can download the settings for your operator...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] fcaeiro:
I already download the settings.

I have the right configuration because it works with my regular phone sim...

But with this sim i have huge price on data trafic.

I also owna a vodafone 3g data card and have a fixed price for 10GB montly..

I just switch the sim on jasjar to the dataonly and it doesnt work....

With my regular sim it works fine....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] fcaeiro:
Solved !!!

H I there Just to let you know that i upgraded to the radio 1.04.10 and the sim its working fine now.

I even can make voice calls and this should be a data only very nice...

Now i have 10GB per month on UMTS....

And using voipbuster for free calls !!!!

:lol:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] LinuxGeek:
Hi All,

As this was discussed a while ago can someone please confirm that I can use a Vodafone 3G Datacard simcard (data only) with my O2 XDA EXEC (currently used with a O2 simcard) ?

When Vodafone Datacard Simcard is used with XDA EXEC as well as data, can I use it :

1) to sent and receive text messages

2) Make and receive Voice calls

Of course data is the most important requirement but useful to know if I can do other things too.

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] liran corleone:
I got my nexus 7 2013 a few weeks ago. It worked great for some time until I decided to flash a kernel that claimed to add support for CIFS windows shares mount. After installing this kernel, when the OS booted, I did not have landscape mode working anymore - only portrait. I decided to do adb full restore to a full backup i made before this step, which seemed to have passed without any errors, but something happened to the recognition of the internal SD memory - applications are not able to use it - I am getting "no external storage" messages when I launch the gallery application and an error when trying to run the google play store - "unfortunetley, google play store has stopped". The device is still starting with only portrait mode.

i then tried to format the device and used TWRP to format everything including the internal memory. After that I reflashed the original rom of google for this device (taken from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#razorjss15r). The problem is still the same. In TWRP recovery console - I am able to access and push files to and from /sdcard folder with no problems, and see its content with adb shell.

When android loads - cd /sdcard + ls shows that it is empty (even though it does contain files copied to it in recovery console mode) the reason for this is that with ls I can see that "/sdcard" points to "/storage/emulated/legacy" which points to "/mnt/shell/emulated/0" which DOES NOT exist. "/mnt/shell/emulated/" folder exists, but it is empty.

I am unable to use the device - just start the OS (and get the error messages when trying to launch applications). When the OS loads I immediately get the "unfortunetley, google play store has stopped" error without doing anything.

running google earth application when logcat active gives the following output:

--------

E/cutils (10727): Failed to chmod(/mnt/shell/emulated/0, 0): Read-only file system

E/dalvikvm(10727): cannot mountExternalStorage(): Read-only file system

I/ActivityManager( 492): Start proc com.google.earth for activity com.google.earth/.EarthActivity: pid=10727 uid=10024 gids={50024, 3003, 1015, 1028}

D/dalvikvm(10727): No JNI_OnLoad found in /system/lib/libearthmobile.so 0x41dc5158, skipping init

--------

i've attached logcat and dmesg outputs i got.

Any idea how do I solve this? Why are the folder links broken when I am using an original google rom?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] liran corleone:
I've attached a bug report created using nexus root toolkit 1.78. searching for "failed" word in the log shows the problem happens over and over again as i try to use different applications:

"Failed to mkdir(/mnt/shell/emulated/0): Read-only file system".

i cannot use any application that needs the internal SD storage even though it is mounted to /data and the system reports 25GB available storage as can be seen by searching this log for "FREE SPACE" (df output)

working in "adb shell" as root (after "su"), i cannot write to any of the device's folders - only after executing "mount -o rw,remount /" it becomes possible (and only for the same session of the shell).

It would be very helpful if someone with a working nexus 7 2nd can post he/she's own device's bug report file so I'll be able to compare it to mine and see if i can find any differences. It can be done using the nexus toolkit:

"Launch" -> "Launch Generator" -> "OK" -> "Dump bug report to file" (filter output and alternate buffer log are unchecked).

Is there no one here that has experience with under the hood stuff of android and its filesystem?

Any help/directions will be appreciated.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Waledzaki:
I have the same problem did you find a solution?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] liran corleone:
not yet - we need someone to post his debug info or at least "mount" command output for a working android 4.3+ device. maybe by comparison we'll be able to find what is wrong.

I must say i find the android community is quite disappointing - no one seems to give any directions even though full logs and detailed problem description supplied here.

I'm coming from maemo community (n900 device) which has many way better OS professionals.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] alligator_asl:
I have a new nexus7 (2013) with android 4.4.2 , not unlocked, not rooted. Can i help you with this bug report?

Have you a link to the nexus toolkit?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] liran corleone:
you can download it from here: http://www.wugfresh.com/

after starting and choosing your device, press "Launch" button -> "Launch Generator" -> "Dump bug report to file" -> this will create the needed log file.

It would be great if you can post it (the log file) here.

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] alligator_asl:
Hello,

I generated this report and looked at him, unfortunately he contains too many personal details such as MAC addresses, SSID's, e-mail addresses, used apps, calendars and many others. I think, I can only post parts here. Can you tell me which parts you need?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] liran corleone:
These sections are important (search for these strings in the log file):

KERNEL LOG

SYSTEM LOG

EVENT LOG

LAST KMSG

FILESYSTEMS & FREE SPACE

if there is a problem to publish it here, maybe you can send me on private?

it would be great if you can post these section from a log file which was created in the following way (in order to produce a clean log):

reboot the device, run an application that uses the internal storage (google earth for example) and recreate the log.

Thanks.

have to bring this from the dead, i made a new post about this exact same issue with no response, you are obviously far more knowledgeable on this subject so i hope a dev sees this or someone who knows a fix can chime in.

have you found a fix yet though?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] LeXa2:
Got this one fixed.

Steps:

Root your device

Boot into android and enable USB debugging

Connect device to PC

Start up "adb shell", then type in "su"

A supersu prompt would pop up on the device, agree to give adb shell root permissions.

In adb shell execute "make_ext4fs /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist"

In adb shell type "exit" twice to quit.

Execute "adb reboot".

Fixed.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saber13:
There is nothing that I can find that pertains to problems with installing Kitkat factory image 4.4 on my nexus 4 so I will state my problem with the hope of some insight.

I have a Nexus 4 that I have decided to sell and as a precautionary measure had decided to flash a fresh copy of Android version 4.3 last week to ensure all files were deleted. I used Nexus root toolkit and all went smoothly.

As the phone has not yet sold, I decided that I would update the currently OS to the latest version 4.4 kitkat to make it more appealing to buyers so I went back to Nexus Root Toolkit and went through the standard procedure of selecting my device and OS, etc. The phone is unlocked. I had no backup and went ahead and told the software to write over version 4.3 with 4.4. I thought all was going well, but the install was too short and didn't work with a message telling my to try "Force Flash" mode. So I tried again using force flash mode and this time the install took longer and the phone rebooted multiple times, only this time the phone wouldn't fully boot. It only boot loops now.

-I can put the phone into fastboot mode.

-The computer can communicate with the phone via USB cable.

-All info such as product name, variant, HW version, etc. is showing in fastboot mode.

I am unable to use Nexus Root Toolkit to fix my phone with or without using Force Flash mode.

I can't mount the phone and the computer can not detect the ADB at all.

Can anyone please tell me what I can do to fix my phone? Are there any other alternatives to flashing a fully functioning version of 4.4 Kitkat?

I have been at this for hours and I can seem to get anywhere with it. Is the phone destroyed?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danavi:
I bought a new phone plan in Europe. I am trying to transfer my old number. I had the new SIM in the phone, and it didn't respond to the old number. I booted off the phone, inserted the old SIM, and booted the phone. The touch screen got stuck at the SIM unlock screen (Where I input my password for the SIM). It was completely unresponsive. I took out the battery. Since then the phone won't boot. I get the google logo with the unlocked image and then it just goes black. I can boot into recovery, but I don't know how to find what's wrong. I haven't backed up my phone in a couple weeks, so I'd prefer not to restore, but that might be necessary I guess. Does anybody have any ideas? It was working fine before this happened.

I'm running the Vanir Mod and Kernel on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

Update: I just tried to reboot the phone from recovery, it asked me if i wanted to fix root permissions. I slid the bar for yes. Now I can't even boot into recovery anymore!

By the way, it doesn't make a difference if I have my old or new SIM card in.

Update: I cannot access the phone when connected via USB. In the device manager I see Galaxy Nexus under portable devices with the exclamation mark on the yellow triangle.

ibulp

check out galaxy s3 root .com

you would copy a superuser.zip file to your internal phone card

You would use odin to flash a ClockworkMod Recovery file to your phone (if you don't have it)

Next you would use push the correct buttons on phone to enter ClockWork Recovery mode

Once in ClockWork you would select superuser.zip on phone to install it. All instructions are on the website I mentioned earlier

Can you tell me what exact ROM you downloaded and where you got it from / who made it?
