A lot of times a simple reboot would fix the issue. If not, try to clear /cache partition in recovery.

It also can be a rogue app that you installed/configured to constantly hold wake locks for alarms through the Android OS.

To really narrow it down, try a 3rd party app such as Wakelock Detector to see what's waking the device/holding a wakelock through the night

Hi guys!

I realized, a manual update of my Nexys 4 to 4.4 kit kat, with the original image. But today something strange happened... I was trying to take a screen shot, and the function did not work wit vol (-) + power.

I was trying to turn off the power, and power off function does not appear. This happened to anyone else?

How can I do a reboot with this problem in the power button?

Regards,

Sometime its a bug. Reboot should fix it. Hold the power button for about 10 seconds.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opssemnik:
connect to pc and use usb debuggin to do adb reboot, or instal terminal emulator and do reboot, if it does not work, install 4.2.2 then 4.3 then 4.4, see when the bug start happening, also while installing these versions just do the initial setup so we know that is no app doing that or something.Idk, i dont have my n4 wroking so im noob :/.....

Hi,

Any one having an issue where when you connect your phone to the computer via USB, the phone's screen becomes less responsive?

For example swiping through the apps menu is laggy as hell, to the point where the phone will recognise a swipe as a press and will launch the app.

I am currently running Cataclysm and Franco R13, but I have flashed stock and the same occurs
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nathanation:
I haven't received my N5 yet but what you describe happens with the N4 and other phones, it is caused by interference from the charging circuit. Think its quite normal, I guess they think most people aren't really going to use the screen whilst its plugged in.

I don't know what cause the problem but when I connect my lg optimus 2x to my laptop, the screen becomes very unresponsive.

It's probably a problem with your drivers. Try installing the universal drivers from the stickied root thread. I managed to get my phone to lag last night during backup of 3gigs of photos and videos on mega though. It was very very very laggy.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] glenniek:
Hi all,

Please excuse any repetition here but I just seem to be 'circling' with conflicting information, especially regarding the vroot situation.

I have in front of me a brand new C6833 running 14.1.B.1.510 - I bought it outright so it's unlocked and hasn't even had a sim in yet. I just switched it on and skipped the set up to test the walkman. The only reason I want to root is that I am partially deaf and would like to increase the volume (especially headphones) on the device

Before I do anything, I would like to back up the TA Partition - however this requires a root - and given the argument that vroot etc 'may' be harvesting IMEI etc - what is the best way to go about this.

Advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
This is a tough one! The mods/devs are still investigating so we still don't know if they are collecting IMEIs or not, and if they are actively collecting them for malicious use (which is hard to do). It boils down to if you want to take the chance or not, and I can't help you decide. It's all up to you to do that.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SpyderTracks:
I may be wrong here, but I think vRoot and Kingo are the only methods available if you want to backup your TA. You can root by unlocking the bootloader and installing custom recovery and then supersu but that will lose your TA.

I'm in the same boat as you and am gonna wait until we have some further clarification on vRoot before I make any decisions. I don't want my imei harvested or to lose ta so I'm staying put for now.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] chacho_2me:
+1 too :'(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] glenniek:
OK - thanks for all your input so far - will leave the C6833 in the box and hold off selling the note 2 for a week or so.

Hard to do with that beast waiting for me, but I'll cope!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Reb0rn:
I went from note 2 to this and it's awesome. I will never look at a Samsung device ever again.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Justin^Tan:
noob question, so let's say all of them using vroot already got their IMEI harvested, then what is the worst thing could happen to them?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SpyderTracks:
If you've already done it then the worst has happened. Their IMEI's can be used on cloned phones.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] stopa10:
Kingo's new version

Guys, have you checked Kingo's Facebook page ?

facebook.com/kingoapp

They claim that right after XDA's discover of the IMEI harvesting in version 1.1.1, they uploaded a new version of Kingo (1.1.2) in which the IMEI problem has been removed.

I tend to believe them, it seems to me that it would really hurt them if someone on XDA found that they lied.

So, I think one possibility is to go for Kingo...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Justin^Tan:
and with their IMEI used on clone phones, what could be done? or what would happen?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:

[HD2 General] benward:
Bit of a random question I know...

I have an old LEO, sd card slot is dead now :( so not much use as a regular use mobile phone.

I had this idea of mounting it (permanently) in my car to use as music player and sat nav. Rather than keeping a battery in it permanently plugged in and on charge (heat issues?), I was thinking about making a dummy battery with a zenner diode and a voltage regulator to put a steady and smooth 4.x volts into the phone through the battery terminals.

Google play music / vpn to my home network's mp3 library + google maps + netflix connected to my car stereo via bluetooth seems like a great idea to me.

question is, what do I need to present to my phone's 3 battery pins for it to stay switched on and registering 100% battery?

I was thinking the gnd should obviously be 0v and the positive 4.3v but what would I need to do with the 3rd pin? does it need to be connected to the 4.3v through a specific resistence or does it need a specific voltage?

I was thinking of installing a very basic/cut down CM7 rom with minimal apps on it to cut down boot time.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Ben
[HD2 General] HTC HD 2.:
Hello, the 3rd pin you can unoccupied. Connect + and - printed as the battery. But please dont use a zenner diode! The voltage fluctuation from a zenner diode under variable load is very high. And a Phone is a variable load. You need a fixed voltage-regulator TS2940 or variable voltage regulator LM317
[HD2 General] Robbie P:
you do not need to use the battery pins, afaik the 3 copper electrodes next to sim card holder are the same contacts, and were used with the original htc car kit. you removed the battery cover and clipped the phone into a battery cover shaped phone holder which kept the phone charged (and it switched on navpanel in wm6.5). I am sure the reason it was pulled and a new one designed http://htcpedia.com/news/htc-hd2-car-kit-cu-s400.html was because it kept falling off around corners;)

If your on the stock ROM and rooted and have custom recovery installed you will absolutely brick your device.

Okay so pretty much using the built in tether app is a no go. I'm not going to pay for hotspot. If anyone knows of a WiFi tether app that works with nexus 5 let everyone know. (I'm on AT&T). Will be receiving phone first week in Dec.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Stonebot:
The built in one doesn't work because it tags all packets with a "hotspot" data tag which is then being denied by your carrier because it's hotspot data which you didn't pay for. Either the internal program needs to be modified to not tag the data, or another app which doesn't tag data should be used to get a free wireless hotspot.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] AndiTails:
Exactly - this is true for ALL Android handsets running Android 4.3 and above.

Previously, we've been able to get away with it unless your phone was running a carrier-specific ROM with the packet tagging enabled - but now it's part of the Android subsystem.

If your carrier is setup to track this, they now can.

I'm lucky with mine - they seem to only care if I tether a laptop to my phone. If I tether a tablet or another phone, it's fine.. Different traffic I guess! So I just use a VPN on my laptop, and it goes undetected. :)
