Hi

Bugs report:

1) when minimized, the app controls in the Notification panel sometimes appear under "Ongoing" and sometimes under "Notifications"

2) when minimized, sometimes the album cover doesn't show up, only a coloured box. When it doesn't show up, it also won't show up on the lock screen. Doesn't happen that often though, maybe 1 in every 5 times.

3) On my Samsung Note 3 running Android 4.3, the feature long press button on lock screen to enable seek bar doesn't work

4) Also headset control doesn't work with the headphones that came with my Note 3

5) After exited the app or returning from minimized app, tapping the cover to go to the folder where the song is playing - the song is no longer highlighted.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
1. It should be ongoing when playing and not ongoing when paused. Could you check that please. That's the intended behavior, so the service can get killed by the system when the resources are needed, if it isn't playing.

2. Thought I had that fixed. Damn. see 4)

3. Sorry but then it must be a bug from Samsung/TouchWiz.

If someone uses cyanogenmod on a note 3 please let me know if it works.

4. I'll fix that and send you a version to test it. Could you please drop me an email? dakdroid@gmail.com

5. see 4

Hi great player. I have question. Is there any chance that player remember position of current song. If I listen something longer like 1 or 2 hours its hard find same position where I finished. Like video players do?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rouvenkutter:
i have updated my htc one to kitkat and i don't want to install a custom recovery but i want to root the device. on my nexus 7 2013 i could boot the custom recovery without flashin using this comman:

./adb boot reco.img

is there a way to do this on the htc one running kit kat? i have tried different recoveries.

./fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.5-m7ul.img

downloading 'boot.img'...

OKAY [ 0.288s]

after that the device is stuck in fastboot mode and i have to force the shutdown. any ideas?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipfreelytech:
fastboot boot doesn't work on HTC One unfortunately. I've tried even just using different kernel images.

Just flash clockworkmod and get root [i'd toss in an adblocking host file too] and then reboot to fastboot and re-flash your stock recovery.img takes two minutes.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
"fastboot boot recovery.img" does work, BUT only on hboot 1.44
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rouvenkutter:
that explains it. i was on hboot 1.44 up until two days ago when i flashed kit kat.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rouvenkutter:
thanks, i'm doing it like this right now.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipfreelytech:
That explains it. I've never had hboot 1.44 on my One. It's such a useful feature, sucks that HTC removed it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
not sure they removed it on purpose, someone disassembled the code and it looks like they used a bad memcpy command, so whether it was intentional or not is unclear.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greekunit690:
Not gonna lie it looks pretty cool but that really sucks. I'm willing to bet it's the digitizer but I believe it's attached to the screen itself so you'd need to find a replacement. Shouldn't be more than $50 just look around on amazon.

Check my post, WE HAVE THE SAME EXACT ISSUE.

Please, take a screencap for purposes of science.

However, the problem is my tablet was never dropped and hasn't sustained any physical damage whatsoever, as it was in a case designed for netbooks (and the netbook I had in there previously is still alive 2+ years of heavy abuse during school).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Android_Forever:
Nope.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfmiller:
Why do you ask? Does your GN have an IR port?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Citizen_Snips:
No lol galaxy nexus doesn't even have an ir blaster AFAIK. Just kitkat supports it. You need the actual infrared hardware inside the phone which it does not have, to my knowledge
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isajoo:
LOL

Maybe there's a hack to use a IR blaster w/the micro USB port.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daniel_loft:
Maybe if you'd put a IR filter over the camera's flash and send a modulated signal through it. But I don't think there's an API to give you that kind of control over the flash. Better plug a pair of TSOP1738 in the audio jack and hope that it will work correctly all the time.

If you'll do some research on this please report back the results.

Have a nice weekend!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikey1969:
Hey guys, hopefully posting this in the right sub-forums here. I have 2 Droid Incredibles that I want to use just for stuff like running the Sirius player, maybe browsing the 'net. I leave one of these hooked to the stereo in the living room all of the time, and it's the only thing I use it for, so Maybe a few things later on. The main thing is that I need none of the phone services. I don't need a dialer, a contacts manager, etc. I'd love something that booted super fast and ran very smoothly and didn't have all of the extra BS. Is there a ROM like this out there/. I'd love it if it were a Cyanogen version, only because I am partial to that one, but I'm willing to play with anything, just to see if it works.

On a side note, I continually tell my friends to keep their old Droid phones(Or send them to me) for exactly this reason. I don't think that 95% of the population realizes just how cool these devices can be! :laugh:

Any help would be great. I appreciate it, and for the mods, feel free to move this if I posted it in the wrong spot.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DuckMcQUack:
Hi guys,

i just want to have some infos and maybe the reason why I had problems while flashing MK8 modem to my i9505.

I was stuck at XXUBMEA baseband and today i decided to change it to XXMK8 (latest version for italian market). To be noted, i am currently on an AOSP 4.3.1 rom (AICP 2.0).

After flashing the modem all went ok but i had the impression that the switch between edge and 3g was a little bit slow so i went ahead and flasshed the correspondent mk8 ril through CWM.

After rebooting i had no network, no imei and my sim wasn't recognized at all from the device.

After a little bit of messing with EFS folder (whick i did backup after rooting my device copy-pasting it with es file explorer) i didn't get any result.

So i tried to flash XXUBMGA modem with the correspondent RIL and this last try solved the issue.

One question: Any idea why i got the issue? Thanks! :o
[General Accessories] Crazypinoy:
not sure how interesting this is to anyone but I can't find any other product like it so I thought I'd share.

It's got 6 usb charge ports. Apparently it uses an LG Lithium Polymer battery and get around 92.4% efficiency.

Wow. that's some major power.
[General Accessories] daniel_loft:
It might be not as efficient, but that's almost like taking an UPS with you. :P
[General Accessories] vectron:
There is no way it's going to be 92.4% efficient. They say in the spec about using 16x 2600 mAh Li-ion batteries, wired up together. These batteries will have 3.7V output that will have to go to 5V USB converter, through usb-to-micro-usb cable to your phone, and converted back from 5V to 3.7V of your internal phone battery. This conversion will mean at least 30% of of efficiency loss. Which means this battery is only 70% efficient and you will not get more than 29,000 mAh of the actual capacity. Plus, with multiple daisy-chained batteries, I'm not quite sure about failure mechanism - if one fails how does it affect the output? And the weight/bulk of carrying it - definitely not portable, and probably very heavy.
[General Accessories] Crazypinoy:
So I had to make a couple calls but I was able to purchase one through a vendor. It's actually a pretty small unit.

Height is about 4"

Width is about 3.5"

Weight is 2.2lbs

So it's actually very portable considering it's charging capacity. I cant account for it's efficiency yet but I brought it to a buddy's house for Monday night football and we charged 3 phones and a tablet with ease.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MStef94:
It isn't probably the best solution for your problem, but you can try to reset you phone or install clear ROM again...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Hnk1:
First you need to make sure if your MIC is perfectly functional and you can check it via recording etc.

If everything seems to work, then it must be a software bug.

You should clear your dalvik cache and see if that helps. You can also try to clear your call cache in settings>apps>phone/call according to your model.

If this still doesnot help, try installing a STOCK ROM and wipe all data and cache. See if that solves your problem.

It could also be due to some software messing with your phone or keeping your call in hibernation. You can check it by freezing apps individually and calling your helpline (So no cost for calls ;) )

I hope this is helpful
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] g.man.7489:
Mic is fine, sure! Tried with stock but still. I sent it to warranty center but they said that my device is fine. I think that the prob is related to antena or something around.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alex88510:
Before everything happened, I was using CM10.2 Alpha 4.

Then one day when I wake up in the morning, the phone IMEI and baseband became unknown by itself.(Previously it's working perfectly)

I tried many ways to recover it and then I found out something.

I flashed the phone to stock rom(DDLF2), when I inserted the SIM card, the IMEI and baseband will become unknown.

When I removed the SIM card, the IMEI and baseband is showing normally.

So, the IMEI and baseband become unknown by its own whenever I inserted the SIM card.

However, if I flashed the phone to CM10.2, it will show unknown regardless of the SIM card has been inserted or not.

So, first question, is my IMEI working good?

second question, is the SIM card slot has some problem with it?

third question, what's cause it to show unknown when I insert the SIM card and showing normally when I remove the SIM card?

I appreciate any help.

P.S. I have efs backup which it automatically created when I flash cm rom.

EDIT: the SIM card itself is working good, I have tried it with other phone and it works. I have also tried to use other SIM card from other phone which is working perfectly and insert it into my phone but the same problem occurred.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alex88510:
I took a look in alogcat and found that there's an error that is keep repeating itself.

Try find your file named mps_code.dat and place in efs/imei folder, set permission to rwxrwx---
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alex88510:
It originally has a mps_code.dat inside that folder. I changed the permission and owner/group to radio.

I even tried to copy the file from my earlier efs backup and set the permission and owner/group.

None of them works, it still shows unknown IMEI and baseband.

anyway, thanks for trying to help.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
Take out your sim, dial *2767*3855#

Phone full reset, will erase sdcard.

*#272*imei code# change your csc sale code back to original.

Copy back your imei backup and reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alex88510:
I have tried all of it before you post.

First, I only managed to use *#272*IMEI# once and after that I get IMEI unknown but normal baseband.

After I restore back the IMEI, it shows correctly but when I insert the SIM card, it's the same problem again.

After that, I can no longer change the csc using the code again, most of the time it said "Mobile network not available.".

Later on, I reflash it again and again including efs clear and then restore back using the method provided by dhiru.

Now, both of them still showing unknown and even though I remove the SIM card, it still shows unknown.

I wonder if I made thing worse.

Anyway, I'll keep on trying and I'll try to check whether the e-warranty of my phone has been activated when I purchased the phone or not.

If it's not, then I can go to samsung service center and act like a noob.

If it's yes, then the only way is to keep trying.

If you have any more ideas, please share. Thanks.

EDIT: Sadly the e-warranty for my phone has been activated and it has expired.

I have another question.

In your post regarding the evaluation to restore imei, is it when you flash stl3.img using heimdall, the md5sum of bml3 will change?

And is your md5sum of nv_data.bin is the same with the one written inside the nv_data.bin.md5?

Thanks for help.

EDIT: I read from somewhere that if *#06# gives you nothing(only IMEI title with no character/digit below it), it is hardware failure. Is it true?

And the signal strength is always 0dBm 0asu.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
I have no clue to your question

stl3 and bml3 are partition raw image.

nv data.bin is the system use imei. Those hidden file look important to me also. And md5 file is no use to me, as android will generate new one for the new bin file.

No, blank Imei showed did not mean hardware failure totally, if partition corrupted also show nill.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] alex88510:
But my efs partition is correctly mounted and it shows blank too.

I tried many times flashing, many times more restoring efs using various ways including yours, it still shows blank.

At first it only shows blank whenever I insert my SIM card but now it shows blank all the time.

But now I can't get generic IMEI anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
If it is mounted. The efs folder will not blank, it will generate a generic nv data.bin file and its md5 file and a log file. And also some other folders.

If it blank, it is not mounted

Maybe u can try check in adb shell by command "df" and "mount"

The command will list out the mounted partitions and information.

You should see stl3, bml3, and /efs in the list.

As my understanding, the partition having few level, (what ever it called)

The lowest is bml3 than stl3 than link to folder /efs.

What we flash from dhiru blank efs tar is into stl3.

It is to link back the connection of stl3 with efs folder.
