Download a new rom .

Reflash if that fails you require a service centre repair .

Hi guys !

I had to buy a new screen for my nexus 4 cause I broke it, I disasembled the whole phone, replaced the screen, re-assembled the phone, but... know I have no signal... Do you know what I could have forgotten or broken ?

I can add that when my screen was broken, i still recieved messages & calls, but it was impossible to pick up... So the problem doesn't come from the impact...

Thx a lot 4 your help !
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMillerNL:
Have you connected all connectors?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polalbert:
I think so, but i'm going to re-open it and check every connector, do you know wich ones are in charge of the radio part ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobertSand:
Did you pick out the sim? If not try to take it out and put it back in..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polalbert:
Yes, but it doesn't seems to be the problem...

I also noticed that I recieved yesterday 10smses @ once, but didn had enough time to see any signal...

when taking apart devices you should take pictures of it so you can backtrack when re-assembling it.

[HTC Sensation] danbosvac:
Hi

I rooted my HTC sensation T-Mobile smartphone. I wanted to get rid of the T-Mobile boot and down animations.

I changed the file names of TMOUS_bootanimation.zip and TMOUS_downanimation.zip by adding the .bak extension at the end of the names. These files were found in system/customize/resources

I no longer have the T-Mobile animation on startup but have only the default android animation.

I want to use the generic HTC boot animation as both my bootanimation.zip and downanimation.zip. I copied and replaced both files file in the directory already mentioned. I only get a black screen on shutdown.

I did notice that when I moved both files to system/media, the generic HTC animation worked on startup but not on shutdown.

I changed the permissions and ownerships of both files and nothing seems to work for the downanimation.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
i am not sure but a bootanimation can't work as a downanimation and the opposite
[HTC Sensation] blogodoblogodo:
Did u rename new animation as old stock animation With the same name
[HTC Sensation] heavy_metal_man:
Agreed, if your on a tmobile Rom then it's highly likely that you will need to name your new down animation to exactly as it was before. Also what did you set the permissions to?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ergates:
I'm after the advice of someone who knows about Android permissions and security.

I'd like to make use of this app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.faradayinstitute&hl=en

That requires these permissions:

This app has access to these permissions:

Your messages

receive text messages (SMS)

Network communication

full network access

view network connections

view Wi-Fi connections

Phone calls

read phone status and identity

Storage

modify or delete the contents of your USB storage

Microphone

record audio

Your social information

read your contacts

modify your contacts

read call log

write call log

Your accounts

find accounts on the device

System tools

send sticky broadcast

test access to protected storage

Affects battery

control vibration

prevent device from sleeping

Your applications information

run at startup

Audio settings

change your audio settings

But isn't that list of permissions completely OTT? I expressed my concerns to them and received the following reply:

I am writing to update you with regards to your enquiry about the Faraday App. I have been in touch with our developers and they have informed me that although this is a long list it is quite common with Android. They are currently working to see if they can reduce the list, however, there is nothing to worry about since you know the origin of there App, The Faraday Institute, and therefore can easily determine whether you wish to allow access (if it is a source you trust/is reputable etc..). The reason they need access to some parts is simply to add their details to your phone, (access your phone book for example is only to add The Faraday to your contacts).

I hope this answers your query for now. I will update you when I receive more information from the developers. Please feel free to contact me if you require further assistance.

I'm no expert but it doesn't really seem satisfactory - or am I worrying necessarily?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjz2cool:
what kind of app is it? (currently unable to access playstore)

Just a "news" app. Here's the description:

The official application of The Faraday Institute for Science and Religion at St Edmund's College, Cambridge. Access news, leading stories of the day, educational resources, and much more, from the institute that is leading research in the understanding of the relation between science and religion.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] domino25:
I recently got original note 10.1 which I use exculsively for taking/recording ntoes in class using lecture notes app and I use the app to do homework, read textbooks, annotate pdfs etc.

This has been my only use case for the tablet. I never watch movies, check facebook or do anything else. I may listen spotify once in a while but thats about it.

I've noticed that lecturenotes is sluggish on big pdfs. I was wondering if 2014 edtion would be a good upgrade for me. Would it be better for reading pdfs ( my main use case) from better screen resolution. Would the faster processor make noticeable difference in sluggishness of lecturenotes ?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] OguzhanVarsak:
Hi. I have a problem. If my battery is ending and I start charging my device, is not opening. Just see battery and loading pic. I can't open my device. (Samsung GALAXY Note 2 - ParanoidAndroid - 4.3.1)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] cw6447:
I have searched all the different PDA forums and all the software sites and cannot find anything close to what I need. Like many of you my device needs a good ol' soft reset several times a day. Then it is always ready for the next thing I might need to do. I would be willing to pay $20 for this simple little applet. Here is all I would want it to do.

It should have a config screen that lets the user designate a specific time of day or a time interval to perform the soft reset. And (important) it needs to pop up a warning window before it soft resets that allows the user to cancel the soft reset in case he/she is using the device. But if there is no response to the dialog after 10 or so seconds it goes ahead and soft resets the device.

I know this is possible because programs like Sprite Backup will perform a soft reset if desired after a scheduled backup.

So get to work you programming gurus. There are many of us who would gladly pay you for the effort. Anyone else that is interested in this simple app please sound off? But don't complicate the design with more and more features. That is what is wrong with many of the apps out there today. They try to do too many things and end up not doing much of anything well.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] rocho:
you want the soft called by your name as well????

20 bucks... dont u thing kinda cheap??? lol
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] silcam18:
Actually, I don't think that the app would be very hard to make. Also, he might mean that if anyone knows of an app already made, he would be willing to pay up to $20 for it.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] vijay555:
Yeah, calling software by your own name is so l4m3 :)

V
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] cw6447:
OK knuckleheads. No one creates software hoping that only one person will buy it. Most simple utility softwares out today cost $5 to $25 to purchase. I am saying that this very simple app would add such value to the HTC devices that I would be willing to pay $20 for it. I was soliciting responses from other users to see if they were interested also. If enough people showed interest in paying for this app, maybe it would motivate someone to create it. I know it might require you to think outside the box, but if 20 people bought it, that's $400. If 50 people bought it, that's $1000. Are you catching on?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] vijay555:
cw6447: I don't think anyone was really disagreeing with you, and particularly my post, well it was a joke, you might want to check out the names of my apps :shock:

I would love to write this for you, but I'm a little busy right now. However, I am intending eventually to write a general scheduling app for CuteAngelika, so I'll let you know if it happens.

If you've got $20 to spend, you can buy one of the backup programs. I think they generally have a scheduled backup function, which will also do a soft reset I imagine. Two for the price of two?

I was thinking of MagniVI as the name for your OS. But it lacks the J and MagniVJ is phonetic not what I mean with it.

Keep up the good work. The tools aren't too l4m3 for me ...

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] cw6447:
:) Sorry Vijay, I wasn't familiar with your development. I am now. If someone can make this app and it works well, I will be their best salesperson. My Sprite is not a good candidate for this because I do not want it doing full backups every 2 hours (which is what I would set for the soft-reset interval for once someone makes this cool little app). I do one full backup at 4 am each morning. I am holding out hope for this...the few apps like this on Handango and other sites just don't make the grade.

I'm not actively developing, but intend to develop a generic scheduler app... given the 10,000 other projects going on right now, it's difficult to "schedule" the time for it, but I want to get around to this one :)

V
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] cw6447:
I tell ya, I would pay $20 for it if it would work like I outlined in the first post. Like the earlier posts I have looked EVERYWHERE for something like this. Kai's and others have similar functionality but do not address the critical components (IMHO) of what this tool needs. The whole purpose is to allow it to soft reset every X minutes...not just one time every day at the same time. I have lots of software loaded on my device and therefore all kinds of little glitches. They are always solved by a soft reset. So, I would set my timer on this hypothetical app to soft reset every 30 minutes. NOW THE KEY is the ability for the app to throw up a "Cancel" dialog each time it is about to reset so that you can cancel the reset if you are in the middle of doing something. But if the device gets no cancel command after, say 15 seconds, it goes forward with the reset. That it! That's all! Nothing more is needed. That would be one of the best things I could load on my device.

Try this, and it's free:

http://ppcsoft.narod.ru/english/
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] cw6447:
Thanks. This is so close to being it that I can almost taste it. This is the best I have seen yet but it just falls short of being useful for interval resets. It gives you the choice to set soft resets at as little as 1 minute intervals or as long as 1 hour intervals. So far so good. It even has a check box asking if you want a confirmation dialog before resetting. Still good. But here is the flaw, at least in how I want this type of utility to work.

When you are using the device you need to be able to cancel the soft reset via a dialog and continue working. This app does that. But it needs to be able to reset itself during all of those times when you are not using it. This is why it is imperative that if the dialog pops up and gets no cancel command for, say, 30 seconds, it goes ahead and resets itself. The app referenced above unfortunately will just sit with the dialog box up waiting for interaction and never reset itself. Obviously when I am actively using the device I can soft reset it myself and don't need an applet to do it for me.

Another issue I have found with this app is that when I schedule a reset interval for, say, 5 minutes, it resets correctly the first time. But after the first reset it wipes the settings away and does no more interval resets after that. Obviously another problem, at least on my HTC Blue Angel.

So the challenge is still out there. After seeing this I know it can be done. Someone could easily sell this for $10 a pop on Handango and other sites.

Thanks jasonchan for the tip. I will keep this one until I find THE perfect reset app.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoonerLater:
I have owned many Android devices over the years. Every one except my Nexus 7 would dim a few seconds or so before completely turning off the display. However, my N7 just turns off when the screen timeout timer expires. Every time it turns off, you have to use the power button to turn it on. I much prefer the behavior of my other devices when it comes to the screen timeout. Is there a way to get the N7 to dim for a few seconds before going off completely like my other devices do?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] wulsic:
Hello everyone,

I made these Gapps packages for the ones and for myself who don't like to wait long to install some crap you may not need.

In these versions i just made the basic what you need for playstore and for youtube so no additions like google plus latinime etc.

All these 5 Gapps packages in one folder are around the 8-18MB while the originals are around 380MB

So it spare's you speed and bandwith :D

I Recommend these Gapps or Slim Gapps for Slim rom or other roms cause all those google stuff is slowing down the system

For the ones who want all these 4 gapps in one Aroma package i am busy trying to make it later if i have time.

Gapps-KK-4.4.0-Signed-UpdatedWithGtransport contains GoogleCalenderSyncAdapter and updated Gapps from 2014

Installation:

Download the zipFile

Put it on an sdcard or internal storage

Reboot into Recovery

Flash the light Gapps

Could you try to go to accounts and uncheck contacts sync or the whole app and reclick it so it will sync.

It should work and if it is missing just install it from playstore and then it also should work :good:

Can I install gapps after installing the ROM cuz I forgot to! :P N I don't wanna factory reset!

When I try it normally by flashing with CWM it aborts and says error in metadata!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] wulsic:
Yes you just flash anything after installing the rom. If you flash stuff and the rom doesnt boot anymore then you have to reflash your Rom.

If it says error in metadata then my question to you is Which cwm version do you have? If you have cm11(android 4.4.X) then you should also have CWM 6.0.4.6 Atleast i believe or higher with SELINUX support. If it says that metadata thing then your recovery doesnt have enabled SELINUX(The Developer needs to enable that and compile the recovery so you cant enable it).

I hope i helped you :good:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jay1507peaceout:
I have cm 10.1.3 I think and I have cwm 6.0.4.6!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] wulsic:
If you have cm10.1.3 then you have to download and flash the 4.2.2 Gapps cause cm10.1.3 was 4.2.2 right?

Try the 4.2.2 gapps then if you tryed to flash the 4.4 one but the one from 4.4 should also flash Idk just try the 4.2.2 one
