Dear xda,

I am a technical exploiter of my gadgets and I run almost all kinds of hardware and software tests possible on my small Micromax A25. I've been a consistent viewer of your site since I bought this phone in last december. Its been great to learn about rooting and loading Custom ROMs from your forums and I need help in such a matter itself.

Searching your forums, i got the stock Micromax A25 Rom and tools. But first of all, there is no instruction as to how it is to be done. Secondly, I got another .zip file of a similar kind and i tried to load the scatter file onto the phone. But I am unable to do so because it says an error code 2005.

Going through your forums, i got to learn that this might be due to improper driver installation. I am unable to install my drivers as I installed the PdaNet software and hence my device shows up in Device Manager as Android ADB Interface. Further operations are not possible because of only this reason. I tried uninstalling. But after connecting again, it shows the same driver name.....

Please help....

Looks like I got a 4.1.2 Update for my A25 but am unable to load it.....

Hoping a reply soon.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LazarusMP:
Hi All,

I'm running into an issue on my rooted Note 3 with some apps not scaling properly. For example, when I launch Torque Pro the display only shows approximately 2/3 of the app's home screen. Several other apps are doing the same thing. All of these apps displayed fine on the old Dell Streak 5 that the note replaced. I was wondering if anyone else was familiar with this issue. I'm currently running Nova Launcher but the issue was identical under stock unrooted Touchwiz as well. Is there some setting I'm missing or is there perhaps an app that will allow me to rescale the display of individual apps? I haven't monkeyed with the display's stock DPI yet and for now I think I'd rather try to fix the few problem apps specifically rather than potentially make things even more wonky with a universal DPI change. Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Here's an image of Torque Pro running on both my Note 3 (upper) and my Dell Streak (lower) to illustrate the issue:

Im looking for preferably the latest TWRP in Tar format so I can load it with Odin. I currently have CWM but would rather have TWRP.

I tried GooManager but keep getting the "webpage not found error". I tried Recovery Tools but didn't have success.I tried ROM Manager but it

keeps loading CWM. Still noobish so flashing with terminal emulator is foreign territory. Please help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] spongdangly:
Here are the download links for the d2att recoveries straight from TWRP's site.

FYI, GooManager installs TWRP and ROM Manager installs CWM. Also, the latest official TWRP recovery won't flash 4.4 ROMs, CWM on the other hand can.

Here's the link to the Unofficial TWRP 2.6.3.1 which supports 4.4 ROMs. It's a zip file that can only be flashed through a recovery though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Barb3r:
Thanks for the reply and information. For some reason I just like TWRP and coupled with the fact that I am stuck makes me want it more.

Whenever i download the tar file under that link, it extracts to a img file. What am I doing wrong?

Edit: Got it working, I used flashify from play store and flashed latest TWRP image file in less than 5 seconds.

On to the next adventure.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] spongdangly:
Your welcome, I'm glad that everything worked out for you.

Also, you're not supposed to extract the tar file, it's meant to be flashed though Odin. The img file is meant to be installed via the terminal emulator.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcaligula:
Hi , I installed ColosOS beta without installing oppo.boot.img.

And whole system froze on booting up.

Now I have TWRP recovery installed , via fastboot.

But I have no ROM on my cellphone it seems.

I cant seem to use adb sideload command as the cmd window only shows up possible commands. it is adb version 1.0.29

My problem now is to get ROM.zip into my phone. Damn HTC ONE dont have external sd card.....

Anyone can help ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
you're typing the command wrong, or the filename (of the ROM) is wrong.

you can also use an OTG cable, or "adb push <name of rom>.zip /data/media/"
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcaligula:
Example I have Zip file located in : C:/trip.zip

Then I write

adb sideload c:/trip.zip /sdcard

?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
that is the push method not sideload:

adb push c:\trip.zip /sdcard/

sideload is just: adb sideload c:\trip.zip
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcaligula:
Yes of course . Thank you!

I will now try to get MY HTC back in the ADB devices list again :)

It is back up again in ADB . And now I am pushing it to /data/media. I hope I will find the file in TWRP now :P One million thanks to you.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
good luck, hit the thanks button if i've helped ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcaligula:
Phone now up again with tripdroids newest.

It was the location of the push (data/media) that I screwed up before posting here. I pushed to sdcard but never find zip file in CWM. SO changed recovery to TWRP.

NKK71 :good:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Good :cool:

BTW, /sdcard usually point to /data/media/0, so you should have browsed to the 0 folder in CWM, and then you would have seen the rom.zip
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scaryshark:
I'm coming from a HTC 8X and WP8 has a feature which will enable driving mode only when you are connected to a specific bluetooth.

Is there anything like this for the Nexus 5. So I can tell it which bluetooth is my car and only read SMS's if it is connected to that.

I've seen some apps that might do this but they all have the most horrible Froyo style interface, is there not any Holo looking one and one that uses the notification listener service from 4.3+. I don't mind buyin the app either i it's less than $5 or so.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] paulwilco:
Hi everyone,

I havent seen a post about this so i assume its only me that has this!

Since i have been carrying my exec in my pocket in 'clamshell mode' i have noticed that some of the keys on the keyboard have rubbed against the plastic next to the screen causing dot marks. i assumed the rubber pads at the edge of the screen were supposed to prevent this.

Anyone else noticed this? Anyone know how i can get rid of the marks!?

Paul.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Jorgee:
I have the saem problem with my QTEK 9000

I have called tech support and they state that it isn't covered by the guarantee. Thats BULLS**T. I don't know who to talk to now to have this problem solved.

I got a Krusell Case and now the transparent part of the case has scratches. The case is 5 days old!!! This is definitely a factory defect in my book.

Who do we complait to about this?

Guys, don't you agree this is a factory defect? Anybody know any of the dealers personally and could inquire about this problem?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] StevePritchard:
I've mentioned this under another post (search for "keyboard bump stops"). Basically, the little curves rubber stops in the bottom corners aren't tall enough to prevent the keyboard rubbing the top of the clamshell.

This is how I've fixed it...

1. Prize out the rubber stops (this is very easy with a jewellers screw driver, or similar)

2. Put a very small amount of Blu-Tac into the recesses, and pack it down with the screwdriver. This is to act as a base for step 3.

3. Using the screwdriver, carefully dab superglue on the blu-tac, and around the lip of the recess.

4. Push the bump stop back into place.

Mine now sit about 2-3mm proud of the surface, and I can see daylight through the closed clamshell, so the keys don't touch the top piece.

Cheers,

Steve.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Jorgee:
Does this mean that it isn't a factory defect? And really isn't covered by warranty?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] StevePritchard:
I think it's just a design flaw, really. In theory, I suppose you could insist they do something about it, but I don't know whether you would get anywhere.

Cheers,

Steve.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] emmerman:
I recently applied a screen protector on my Qtek 9000 and used a cloth to clean glasses with to clear the screen of any dust. Since then I've put the cloth in between when I closed my Qtek. Both the screen protector & cloth will hopefully prevent any damage to the screen and surrounding area due to the keys touching and rubbing them. :!:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] paulwilco:
its a shame that, after we have looked after our devices so carefully, they are damaged due to a design fault!

Is there any way of polishing these marks out? i suppose it would be very difficult with the case being a matt finish.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Jorgee:
Yeah, this is very disappointing. Does this happen to those who have MDA Pro, Imate, O2 also?

Is there some bureau where we can complain?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gooroo:
My Exec with about 3 weeks of use also shows marks on "-" and "+" keys, and also on "2" and ":", more concerning is when the device is used with screen out as I tend to keep mine now, the rubber stops actually touch nothing at all because of the curved outer case. No marks have appeared on the "o2" alluminium outer yet though, only on the plastic surrounding the screen on the inner.

Regards
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Melty:
Yeah same here... six little dots on the left of the screen and attendant shiny keys... bah! :cry:

I have ordered a Krussell case and was hoping this would fix the problem, but it sounds like it might not (although I'd rather the case got damaged than the device).

What about those of you with Piel Frama cases? The fact that they are a bit chunky and prevent the device from closing fully sounds like a godsend now, doesn't it?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hollinshead:
I have an MDA Pro and I don't have this problem at all, there is a good gap between the screen and the keys.

I'm not sure if its the same for all MDA Pros, or if I've just been lucky.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Jorgee:
Good for you that you don't have those marks. I only have them on the screen side so i guess it happens when the device is closed.

I have the krusell case. No luck, the plastic has scratches too. Only after 4 days, mind you.

Has anyone had POSITIVE results after complaining?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kevin666:
dot dot dot

This issue is a design flaw and therefore should be repaired/replaced under warranty. I have had five xda exec's due to this problem or that, and on number five I was adimint I would not get any shiney spots on it so I removed the little rubber stops and now I have my own home made stick on rubber stops which when I look through when closed I can see daylight...and no shiney spots so far....but I would say we should get together and do a major complant about this issue..I can not belive how HTC built the best phone I have ever owned the XDA2 and the very same company have built the worst one I have ever owned too.... the XDA exec
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] fards:
I've got shiney keys on the right and left of my keyboard on my mda pro but no marks on the screen,

I've been using a screen protector since I received it, all bar two days of trying to work out why the screen stops responding.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Melty:
The shiny marks should be next to the screen and not on it. It's VERY annoying!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Whiggy:
I have shiny spots both sides of screen, krussel case with shiny spots on clear plastic, AND - The screen swivels a bit on the hinge as you open and close, leaving a horizontal line above the top four center buttons on the keyboard, where the bottom of the screen above the hinge touches. Anyone else got this line?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Jorgee:
so far no problem with this hinge causing a line.

I have the faded plastic of the krusell case though

Silicon Case

I protected my Dopod900 with a silicon case since I don't want to put scratches on it, I think it works fine. Take a look at it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] paulwilco:
ive had my exec since november. If i call o2 and make a fuss about the damage i have from the keys will they replace it under warranty? How many people have managed to replace there exec's due to this problem?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] srmz:
But what even if they replace it??? This is a design fault and in all likelihood the next unit you will get will start having these marks in a few days of use.

But yes we should all make a fuss so that O2 finally pushes HTC to correct the design fault.

Regards
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Melty:
Hey Whiggy, did you get the shiny spots either side of the screen after using the case, or did you get them first and then use the case? i.e. If I put a BRAND NEW Universal in a Krussell case, do you reckon I will still get the shiny spots? I am the sort of anal person who would get REALLY wound up by that...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Melty:
Re: Silicon Case

Where did yo buy your silicone case from? It looks rather cool! 8)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dcbingbing:
Re: Silicon Case

Thank you. This kind of Silicon Case is very popular for mobile phones and PDAs in Hong Kong. They are inexpensive and light weight. It cost me around USD7.00 They also have it in different colors, such as white, black and mine is grey to match my Dopod900.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Melty:
Thanks for the info. I may have to find one if they are that cheap!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Jorgee:
I've been searching the net, is it available (silicon case) for purchase over the net? Anyone?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Whiggy:
Melty - I got shiny spots on phone first, and then spots on case after couple of days use. Just to add to your paranoia, I lost 2 stylus as well, as I have krussel on swivel belt clip and original stylus drops out if phone is bounced e.g. when you are walking, climbing stairs, unclipping to answer a call etc. I have a Brandco 3-in-1 stlus now which fits nice and tight.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dcbingbing:
I've being trying to find for you guys on the net. Below is the link for Dopod 818 & 828 models. But I am sure they have the Dopod900 ones too. It is a taiwan website. I will keep trying, and post it ASAP.

I would also like to complain...

I bought a €60,000 Mercedes Benz car, and within days of driving it I noticed wear on the tyres, right where they contact the road. On a vehicle costing this much I consider this to be unacceptable. :evil:

My previous vehicle was a cheap bicycle, and even after several miles' use I noticed no appreciable wear on the tyres. How can Mercedes sell cars costing so much with such obvious design defects?

Where can I complain to get a free replacement Mercedes?

:roll:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Jorgee:
You can complain to the tire manufacturer.

Now if the problem was your $60,000 benz started growing dimples on the dashboard or lets say after less than a month, you get scratches in the inner part of the door because the door rubs against the frame, the then you can complain to Mercedez Benz because this is a manufacturing flaw. not wear and tear. Goodluck :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] zillocx:
I haven't used a silicon case with the Exec but with quite a few other phones. The problem with the cases was that though may safegaurd the phone, they attract a lot of dust themselves (including fabric strands from your pant pockets) and after sometime you find the dust having found place b/w the phone and the case and damaging the phone more than just protecting. Happened with a lot of my early nokia purchases. Always used to get a silicon case as soon as I made the purchase. IMHO they should be kept away from the Universal. You might want to reconsider.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jamfitz86:
:S I read this post and noticed that there were small marks forming down the sides of the screen (not on the screen).

Papped a bit of blue tak in the holes with the bump stops, dont have any glue at the moment.

Cheers for the info though :)

Perhaps a written letter to HTC could convince them to make some that are 1mm bigger? at least then on the later phones this wont be an issue, and for all those who have insureance, you can drop your phone in the bog in a few months and get a new one :P *not suggested as thats not what you insureance is for*

Hey SimpleTip, Use it works for me.

Go by a Silicon Casing it comes in 2 pieces , one for the lcd sreen cover & another one for the bottom part. I use Grab Leather case which holds my dopod 900 ( Universal Replica) & for the top portion i have put the half of Silicon case when u close the lcd case Silicon case is in between the keyboard & the top cover hence it is protected try it out. cheers taurus
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dcbingbing:
Whiggy, no wonder you're so upset about this. Excuse me for saying this, your pda looks like ten years old. Maybe put a piece of cloth, which you use to clean your eye glasses, in between your keyboard and the screen before you close the cover. Actually, I really recommend the Silicon case.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] enigma_uk:
There are two good cases you can try,

Piel Frama Luxury case, doesn't cover the keys but prevents the screen lid from closing tight against the keyboard as it has a leather surround.

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/popups/gallery.php?product_id=8075

the other is the new Covertec case which has the keyboard fully inserted under a clear plastic flap.

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/popups/gallery.php?product_id=9122&view_img=F.jpg

I'm looking for a case for mine, I was going for the Krusell as I've used those before, but noticing the same little spots as mentioned here, I think the covertec one looks smart :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Jorgee:
Dont you think the spots will appear on the covertec too? In my krusell case it was very prominent even after just 5 days
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] coldpenguin:
took a good look at the mda pro I have. The result won't cheer you up. it does have these marks developing, I keep it closed in the supplied case in my suit pocket.

however, the marks are not visible (4 weeks) under normal circumstances, they blend into the silver.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Whiggy:
I too would not bet against the covertec getting spots. It looks like the same type of plastic as the krussel.

enigma_uk, both cases you suggest don't let you have the screen out and visible, which is the main reason I chose the krussel - I sometimes have to use it with not-so-clean hands, and you can use the touch screen through the case window if you are careful.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] enigma_uk:
The cases I suggested are for people who carry their device clamshell closed, and as such are getting the spots from the keys rubbing the area each side of the screen. If you use it PDA style holstered and carry it like this you shouldn't get this problem? Or am I missing something :roll:

I don't know if the covertec will prevent the spots, but I am presuming, from the picture, the plastic is thick enough that the raised area of the keys won't be as prominent, and the screen side will lay flat.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Whiggy:
The problem is due to the fact that the bump stops are too small and/or in the wrong place. The keytops touch the clamshell outer screen out, and the facia plate screen in.

Then the swivel in the hinge allows the screen to rock slightly from side to side while handling or in use.

movement between touching parts = friction = wear :(

This is why the marks concentrate at the ends where the amount of movement is greatest

If the bump stops were bigger they prob would leave marks eventually, and not sure yet if the extra thickness of the case over them will make anny difference.

2 Solutions:

Take out the 2 rubber parts, on which the screen rests and put them in turned around.

or (as at the beginning of this thread somebody already suggested)

take out the 2 rubber parts and put something below to make it stand out more. I cut from one plastik tube thin parts, made them thin in the middle and put it in the holes. the rubber parts needed some strong pressing to insert but now they stand off enough.
