[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttttkk:
Hi,my nexus 4 just received 4.4, when it was installing, an error message displayed said there is a signature problem, in stallion aborted. Then when it restarted, it is in the loop in the booting. What should I do now? My nexus 4 is rooted, is it what caused the problem?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lopezk38:
It probably was a bad download. If you download the OTA file, you should be able to update with ADB sideload
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfyllow:
Hi,

I have the same problem and I tried that. Unfortunately, I got this error:

"set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed

E:Error in /tmp/update.zip

(Status 7)"

I guess I can flash a clean image from bootloader, but before that I would like to recover all my data :S

Could I backup my data somehow before that?

(I have root, but I have not custom recovery)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Siddy1200:
I recently got the update for 4.4 notification, clicked it but then the installation froze on a picture of android with an exclamation in his belly.

After that I could no longer boot to bootloader or recovery.

I tried fastboot but I cant not install the drivers as I cant boot to bootloader.

So I tried NRT and managed to get my recovery back (TWRP), but still no bootloader.

I have the option to return to stock on NRT but I am afraid it will fail and brick my N7.

I have SuperSU, flashify and TWRP apps running now with TWRP recovery also bootable.

How can I get my bootloader back?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Hi, Siddy1200...

If you had no bootloader... nothing would work... at all:(.

The bootloader underpins everything you do with your Nexus 7. Nothing happens without one... in which case , you'd be effectively HARDBRICKED.

The fact that stuff is working indicates that your bootloader is fine.

To access the bootloader manually... shut down the Nexus 7 completely.

Press and hold the VOL DOWN button...

Whilst holding, press the POWER ON button, for around 5-10 seconds...

You should now boot into the bootloader.

This key press sequence should also work if you CAN'T shut down the Nexus 7 normally... for example, if you're bootlooping. I've had a few scary moments myself in the past, and the VOL DOWN+hold, POWER ON sequence has always thrown me back into the bootloader...

Rgrds,

Ged.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Siddy1200:
Thanks for the reply Greg.

I can't boot to boot loader, that means when I power on with vol- pressed, then select boot loader and press power , it doesn't work. The screen flashes for a second and it is back to the previous screen to where I can choose restart, recovery, boot loader,etc.

This also happened with recovery but I fixed it, now I'm trying to fix the bootloader
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Apologies, Siddy1200... but I'm a little confused... based upon my reading of your post... I think you're already in the bootloader!!:).

"...it is back to the previous screen to where I can choose restart, recovery, boot loader,etc..."

The bootloader features a green android, lying on its back, with it's belly open - some really tiny text at the lower left hand side of the screen giving details about the current bootloader version and it's lock state. At the upper right hand side of the screen, adjacent to the power button, are selectable options via the POWER BUTTON, which can be cycled through with the VOL BUTTONS... and these options are START, RESTART BOOTLOADER, RECOVERY MODE, POWER OFF... and then START again.

Somewhat similar to your above quoted description.

Selecting RESTART BOOTLOADER will just bring you back to where you already are... ie., the BOOTLOADER.

Also, if you can't access the bootloader, how are you managing to boot into TWRP?... as this is normally done via the bootloader... ie, by selecting the RECOVERY MODE option.

Rgrds,

Ged.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Siddy1200:
Thanks for your persistence Greg, I think I was confused as what the bootloader actually is, now I can see I am already in bootloader :silly:

I will return to stock with NRT and try the 4.4 update now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockz1991:
Hi guys, i am planning to buy a 32 gb memory card for samsung galaxy s2.

Just need your opinion which brand is best suited , and also which class.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garryknight:
Anything that's class 10 is fast enough, eg for 1080p video. Transcend do a good one but if you don't mind paying a bit more then the SanDisk Extreme is excellent.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockz1991:
But I saw a lot of negetive comments on class 10 memory cards on s2.:confused: They say it causes a lot of issues.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Sandisk Ultra Class 10.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dakura:
I use class 4 16 gb instead of 32 gb class 10, feels better for me. Just look at the prices, there are these very cheap ones and expensive ones, try to buy one with a price that makes sense, in sd cards, generally pricey means durability, so focus on prices and get something your budget likes.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockz1991:
Thanks, but this model has this wierd problem "sd card unexpectedly removed"

According to what i saw when i searched in google.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockz1991:
Hmm....currently using class 4 16gb sandisk with no problems. Thinking of expanding to 32 gb.

Price is secondary, i dont want to end up paying on a sd card which stops working after a few days of usage. :(

Just asking if anyone is using a 32gb with a good class with no issues and lags on their s2.

If yes, which one??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
I've been using that card for >2 yrs & never had a problem with it/with the S2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celderic:
Have been using a Samsung class 10 32gb SD card, bought it 6+ months ago for around £30 I think? They're a lot cheaper now. Not a single problem. Bought direct from Amazon.co.uk
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garryknight:
I wasn't aware of that. But I might have been mistaken when I recommended Transcend. I thought that was what I have on my phone but that one is actually in my camera.

This is the one I have in my phone and I've had no problems with it at all.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IronMit:
I have a class 10 32gb Lexar. It's read speed is brilliant - like all decent class 10 cards. It's write speed is quite low.

As a result I use my lexar sd for the storing of music, videos, apks etc. But I tend not to 'write' onto it with camera and video stuff. It will probably be fine but the write speed isn't that high so I don't want to risk errors or anything.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] radicalisto:
Samsung KNOX - http://blog.clove.co.uk/2013/10/22/samsung-knox/

Basically if you trigger KNOX by flashing custom ROM's or rooting via a certain way you Void your warranty.

Plus it suffers from REGION LOCK which means you cannot use outside of the region you buy it in unless it has been deactivated, or bypassed. (Note: some don't have region lock on them)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dodgebizkit:
Has anyone installed the knox browser and used it? What is the point in it?

-----------------------------------------------------

My other phone's a Ferrari.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] radicalisto:
It's just a secure container, mainly designed for business use and IT Managers and such. It can put data on a secure part of the phone also which no one can access except you. If you are rooted, your KNOX becomes void, therefore secure container can no longer be guaranteed secure.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] thermax04:
I did not recive mine N9005 yet, so I dont know which rom on it

but I read that flashing or rooting will void the warranty, with my old note 1 flashing the stock rom will return device to official state, is it the same with note 3?

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Ramsey:
Thanks guys! by the way, I'll be in Canada soon and I'll probably get it there. Can I still root it safely or that will void warranty? Is it better to buy one that is unlocked already?

I'm so sorry. I know there's a sticky on Rooting, but I'm still confused.

I don't want to flash a new rom. All I want to do is root my 10.1 while keeping it safe and stick with the Samsung os.

Are there other steps I'm supposed to take?

Any help would be appreciated
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] thebestok:
hiya, dot kow if this is any help to you but PC'a windows media player 10 and activesync should automatically syncronise any files in the ' my tv recordings folder' of your pc and convert them directly onto your pda upon syncronisation, for viewing. ( win media 10 auto converts it to a smaller size-as dvms files are usually gigs worth, space permitting.) i would know i do this everyday so i can watch tv on the way to work!videos take up a lot of disc space so to do so the only requirement is you have an sd card inserted with lots of disc space. each tv program takes around 100mb on your pda( for 30mins) ( alot better than 2gigs on the pc!) all the best. im using the nvidea encoder too works fine. my sd card is a 2gb ridata 2gb pro. works absolutely fine no stutter in playback eiither.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VTSSDUDE:
Hi All,

I have a slight static noise when listening to people during phone calls with my Z1. I just want to know as it used to be a crystal clear phone, one of the clearest I have had.

Does anyone else have this problem with their Z1's?

Also a stupid question, I didn't realise I had a faulty USB cable, and a couple of days ago when I was charging my phone the charge was dropping when I touched the cable, so power to phone was off, then on, off, and on before I removed the cable.

Everything else in phone is okay, signal is fine. This wouldn't of done anything?

Thank you,
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisFirerabbit:
I have the same issue, and I find mines to be very clear for sound quality. I sometimes have the static issue and hear an occasion reverb when in a call, not a major bummer for me since I rarely call. I yeh, I had my charging drop often when I first got my phone.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VTSSDUDE:

I don't mind it if it is the norm. As long as my phone isn't faulty. I would think it would stuff the battery if anything?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enrique71:
Hi. I have a brand new Z1 and I'm hearing a slight clicking sound when on a call. It's not there via the headset or hands free speaker.

Is this the noise you are speaking about? Did you ever find a solution?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VTSSDUDE:
Hi,

Sorry for late reply.

I still get it, and yes. I only get it if I am on the phone. Corded headset, loudspeaker or bluetooth headset no problems. I haven't found a solution. I think it is a known issue across the board. Weird thing is I don't always get it.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enrique71:
Me too, when I use the loud speaker, BT or corded headset it's not there .. The important thing to note is that it's not a good thing to have a mobile phone resting against your head for prolonged periods of time .. So it's really not a big deal to me.

rooCASE Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Case - Executive Portfolio Leather (2014) Edition Tablet Case - BLACK (With Auto Wake / Sleep Cover)

rooCASE

List Price $49.99

Price $39.98

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FQ1MW7W/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_at_ws_us?ie=UTF8

Let me tell why I love this case. I have an iPad with the case you posted. It's ok, but this case comes in two parts. A leather case for the tablet itself. When you insert your tablet into this case, the flap that holds it in tucks inside the case and is secured by Velcro. You're not going to snag the flap open by accident. That inner case has a landscape prop and an elastic strap that allows holding the tablet my slipping your hand in it. The portfolio isn't just a cover, there ids a tongue with a snap on it to pop the case to and you can pivot the case inside the portfolio. At this point the portfolio doubles as a stand for landscape or portrait. When I'm charging at night, I pivot the case on the snap so the charge port is on the top.

I'm not afraid of dropping this case when it's zipped close while commuting, and I'm not afraid of getting my tablet wet either, unless it ends up in a pool, lake, ocean or fountain. Lol under those conditions, I would have my mind on other things.

I hope this helps.

Oh, the portfolio is smart, in the sense that when you open the cover, it launches a today screen.

Is it just me or does anyone else think it's a little ridiculous that if you have daydream turned on and you close your s view cover, you get that static image on your screen INDEFINITELY?

I've turned off my phone a few times only to wake up and realize my phone turned on cause of a text message and never turned off cause of daydream mode. But instead of having my daydream displayed, I had that s view screen locked in for hours giving me a nice burn-in.

I emailed Samsung a complaint as I think the s view cover should deactivate daydream when it's closed.

Or the error that says finishing boot and its stuck there and then when you force close its stuck on boot animation

Here is what I did and this will work for everyone you need to go into safemode and when there you need to restore the settings and then click wipe all data

all this does is wipes your apps and data so it can boot fresh.

It is possible like mine to be stuck in boot loop again after doing this.

Wait 5 minutes and if its still stuck in boot loop then force close it by holding down power button again wait 5 seconds and turn it back on and wait a few minutes and it will boot guaranteed.

this method works on not just my N4 but 3 other people had the exact problem and it worked.

In my case next launcher was causing it not to boot.

No I wouldn't go in, I would order online. But I figured id wait til black Friday or cyber monday. See if they reduce it anymore.

Also reading the "rumors" that there could be 2nd gen nexus 10 announced that time as well.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Joppykid:
Well I work at Best Buy and can tell you it's not a black friday deal (they have had the ad on the website for a few weeks now) Cyber Monday I don't know. They were selling the 16 gb for $199 last week but the sale was only a day or two. Best Buy does price match pretty much anywhere so if you see any for cheaper online bring in the ad and they'll price match it.

If you have a $50 gift card to go towards it, its definitely worth the extra few bucks to get double the memory. My 2 cents anyways. Good luck with your purchase!

Nexus 10 is sexy though so may be worth the wait!

EDIT* After Re-Reading what I wrote, I don't want you to think this was a shameless best buy plug, he mentioned he had a $50 gift card there so I figured that's where he would want to purchase it! Thought I would clear that up lol.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Joppykid:
I think it was a 1 day sale. I didn't even see it advertised. I only knew about it because our Google rep had told me in store. I will tell you that if you just buy one now that you should have until January 14th to do 1 price adjustment if they do lower it during that time since we're in the holiday season.
