[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daemonios:
On my Transformer Infinity, sometimes the screen won't turn on at all. On a few occasions, if I press Power enough times, I get a glimpse of a message saying the Launcher process has stopped, but then my touchscreen doesn't register any input. The tablet is also sometimes running quite hot at those times. The only way I know to recover from this is press the Power button long enough to force a reboot, then everything is normal. Could this be what's happening? Do you know if the phone is still running under the black screen? Have you tried forcing a reboot, and did it work?

As for the hot phone, I've noticed my N5 does get a bit warm when I'm using it intensively (4G, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and screen on all at the same time and in use) but not enough to burn me. Could be hard to tell which component is heating up like that since I think it could be the screen backlight, SoC or battery... Do let us know if you find out more.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kentoe:
I had called them and reported the screen totally dead with lines streaking vertically and got a new replacement ordered. It wasn't until late last night when I got back and had the screen on in this dead mode that the bottom was extremely hot. I'll have to call them back and let them know

Yeah hopefully, it definitely seems like it could be one of those things that could potentially start fire.The one I have is the LG-D820. Any more info I can provide?

Yeah, no its definitely dead. There were streaked lines across it, rebooted it multiple times. I ended up going into the bootloader and recovery via adb/fastboot and all that jazz. It eventually just would not work now.

In regards to the hot part I definitely think it was the lower part of the screen. It was quite literally half an inch away from the LED to the left. Was super super hot then once I shut the defective screen off (I could tell by the backlit light or whatever) it wasn't hot anymore after a minute or so.

Is it black/white? 16 or 32? When did you get it?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kentoe:
32gb black version. I ordered it immediately when they announced it that day.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comicbookguy72:
mine gets really warm when i'm doing a TWRP backup then it goes into bootloop after and wont cool down. i have to force it to power off from recovery and let it cool, but i've always seen it happen. i wonder if yours was attempting to boot over and over for hours and cooked itself.....? i have a launch day black 32gb too, running Cataclysm with Franco at the moment but it was doing it on rooted stock with stock kernel
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bear3825:
I had to send my 19 day old 32Gb Red Nexus 5 in to LG for the same reason. I was using the phone and all of the sudden had vertical lines and the bottom of the screen got burn your fingers hot. Waiting to see what LG does with my phone. The only thin I can figure is the synaptics chip which controls the screen is bad. Its the only thing in that area that could get that hot. I also noticed when I first got my phone the glass in the same area looked like it had a slight wave in it. Didn't think anything of it at the time. I'll let you know how it goes.

Is RMA/replacement applicable for Rooted and unlocked devices?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bear3825:
I don't believe its an issue with developer phones as long as the issue wasn't caused by something you did like brick it by flashing a wrong radio or something like that. It has to be a manufacture defect to get it fixed for free.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prvn234:
My device issue is related to power button. there is no software issue.

The power button is rattling since from the purchase of the device.

Hope my device gets repaired.

Hi, I recently used iexplorer to go in my iPod touch 4g and copy my minecraft game folder to my computer's home screen, I then plugged in my HTC one and used windows to drag the minecraft folder into my HTC one folder and then converted it and when I go on a file explorer on my phone, I can open the folder but can't run it as an application, does anyone know a solution?

Here's my situation--I had been running MeanBean for a while and decided to try Kush's KK build (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2518211&highlight=loop). I flashed the recovery he linked to, then installed the rom and gapps he linked to. TWRP said everything went successfully. But, when I reboot, the phone just hung at the HTC splash screen. I tried flashing again, downloading fresh and flashing again, wiping the cache, etc. Nothing worked.

So, I decided to go back to my last nandroid of MeanBean. But, after TWRP "successfully" recovered to the latest nandroid, I got stuck in a boot loop. The phone gets through the first part of the boot animation, then freezes and reboots. I tried installing a fresh version of MeanBean, flashing back to TWRP 2.6.3, but nothing has eliminated the boot loop.

I'm s-off and I've never gotten stuck like this before. Anyone have any thoughts?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Reboot to the bootloader and run the command "fastboot erase cache" from a command prompt, then try a fresh install. Are you sure you're S-off?

Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tbhtjd:
Thanks for the suggestion. I erased the cache from fastboot and did a fresh install of MeanBean. No luck--still in the same boot loop.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] premo15:
Have you tried fastboot flashing the boot image from the rom? You shouldn't need to if you're s-off but couldn't hurt if you're still getting boot loops.

Sent from my EVO LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tbhtjd:
Thanks, Fin. I tried fastboot flashing to boot.img separately (which shouldn't be necessary with s-off) after a fresh install, and I'm still in the boot loop. Any other ideas?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Go to recovery, do a full system wipe (data, system, Dalvik & cache) and re-flash the ROM after a fresh download. Really, though, you shouldn't have to wipe cache, since it's under /data.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tbhtjd:
Okay, did a full wipe, got a fresh download and installed. Still in the same boot loop. I also tried flashing TWRP fresh again. Any other ideas or am I bricked?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
What ROM are you trying to flash at this point, and also, which recovery are you using, the one posted in Deck's OP, or one from the TWRP website? If you're trying to flash a 4.4 ROM, use the recovery posted in Deck's OP. If you're trying to flash a different ROM, use the regular TWRP recovery.

Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tbhtjd:
Trying to flash MeanBean, which is what I've been using previously. I flashed the regular 2.6.3 Jewel TWRP.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
It sounds to me like you have the same problem I did. When in recovery and you wipe caches does it say failed? Look into your internal sdcard and if it is empty then it has been erased and corrupted. If so remove your sd card and plug your phone into your pc and mount usb. If it says the card needs to re-format then that is your problem. Re-format your internal sdcard and replace your external sd-card. Flash meanbean and reboot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tbhtjd:
Hmm, don't think that's it. I've been able to mount internal storage and wipe the cache, etc. just fine.

Hi,

been trying to cook my Alpine ROM, and i'm having some trouble mounting the ms_.nbf.

im trying to mount it in a linux box, and got the error:

mount -o loop -t vfat ms_.nbf /mnt/loop0

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,

or too many mounted file systems

(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use

ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)

i just to add/remove some cabs.

any help would be apreciated.

thanks in advance,

Miguel

(imate pda2)
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] pmandrews:
It's been a while since I used linux, but I seem to remember that before trying to mount the loop device, you must first link the /dev/loop0 device to the image file using the command "losetup". Can't remember what the parameters for losetup are though.

Then it was simply "mount /dev/loop0 <mount point>" and the OS worked out the filesystem for itself. But specifying "-t vfat" is also good.

This was on Suse Linux 8.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] cr2:
The *.nbf file is encoded, so you must decode it into the *.nba. Then there is a ' provider' header in the *.nba

file, so you need to add an offset to the loop command.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] pmandrews:
Oh yes, I failed to spot that mistake.

The simplest way to decode the .nbf file into a mountable FAT image is to use this program (unfortunately it is a dos/windows program, but if you have an emulator or a dual-boot system then you might be able to use it).

The same tool will also encode the modified FAT image back into a.nbf file ready to burn to the device.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] cr2:
It is a perl script/tool and it works on linux natively

without any emulators.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] glick:
hi !

first of all, tyvm for all your help, gonna try the ideas u guys gave.

at the moment i can see my extended rom and can cook it with the sd card method.

was trying some more "direct" way to do it.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] pug:
http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=31106

I know it's Windows based but it's the easiest way I know of.

It gives the tools to modify the extended roms before they are installed. A lot quicker and easier than the SD method. A rough idea, I modify my ROMs in about 5 minutes from blank, another 5 to install.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] cr2:
I don't think that

mount -o loop,offset=128 ms_.nba /mnt

is rocket science ;)
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] pug:
All I'm saying is that way the program splits the rom image into header and fat image ready to be mounted wit out having to worry about offsets etc, when you finish, it combines it ready to be flashed.

I agree it's not rocket science but others may do.

No offense but the suggestion wasn't aimed at you, you know what you are talking about. I was just suggesting an alternative to flashing by SD card, as mentioned before in this post, which is far easier and quicker.

At the end of the day I was only trying to help, sorry I got in your way.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] glick:
1st try with the win gui and all that, worked !!

u are right, it only takes 5 mins, awesome, thank you!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badutahboy:
So I'm sure this is a stupid question, but I'm asking anyway.

Now that Hangouts is the default app on our phones for SMS and MMS, I'm wondering about future potential for it. Specifically, I'd love to be able to use the hangouts app/extension on my desktop to send SMS messages from my phone. It's annoying to have to grab my phone to respond when I'm already at a PC. I'm working around that currently by using Mightytext, but it's annoying and buggy. If Hangouts is going to be the solution for messaging, I'd like to see that feature set integrated. Anyone know if this is possible or planned?

Additionally, is it possible (or planned) to have hangouts archive messages the same way it archives chats? This seems like the most useful purpose/benefit when it comes to using hangouts for text messaging.

Any thoughts or feedback?

I was chatting with a guy last night in the chat window in Gmail and it was syncing to hangouts on my phone?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badutahboy:
Yes, chats on google sync to your phone perfectly. I was thinking about SMS messages syncing to my computer the other direction. If you've ever used mightytext, you know what I'm talking about. It seems to me like it should be integrated into hangouts on the PC/gmail/google+
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] buithehien1991:
I have LG Smart TV 2013 with miracast and wifi direct. And I want to share screen GNex to presentation with video and audio. So how to do that.

I have some question about that.

1. Which ROM for GN support Miracast and how to connect them?

2. If don't have Miracast, how to connect them via Wifi Direct (Always available in GNex)

Thank for your support.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tpinkfloyd:
Earlier this week I looked through countless posts and information pertaining to 4.4 Kit Kat on my GNex. As I looked at post after post and did my trial and error trying to find the right ROM for me, finally settling on Beanstalk, I realized just how amazing the support can be around here. From KitKang to SlimKat it is nothing but help when someone has an issue. All issues discussed, all issues looked at.

Then you have Google. Supportive... for new models only. The GNex has a great following and continued support of Devs here on XDA yet Google considers it too old to mess with and just ignores it. Petitions, outcry, and begging for Kit Kat and yet they still ignore it.

As I look at all the development projects I wonder why Google doesn't utilize the community more. Yes, I understand legality behind it and the need to pay the devs to do what they do if they used them. Still, in situations like the GNex when people want it like they do why not just Utilize the dev community. If they really just don't want to waste time on development with a 2 yo phone why not just outsource. Give these amazing Devs a chance. Look through the independent builds find one that suits the specifications needed and give that Dev team some support.

How many Devs here wouldn't jump at a chance to create a build for what is considered a outdated unsupportable phone, like the GNex, for Google who just doesn't want to waste resources on it. Take $10,000 and say "Hey, you want this phone supported create a build and you could get this $10k and your build sent out as a non-carrier update" Sure that is a small amount for Google but an amazing boost for a Dev doing what he loves. Saves Google time and Resources and gives us, that either lack the time or the ability too create a build, a strong build to keep our phone going for those 6 months to a Year before our upgrade time.

You have people like me that bought the GNex 4 months before the Nexus 4 came out but I am on Verizon and can't get a newer Nexus. You also have people that bought it a knowing nothing about the phone that ended up loving it but are stuck in a 2 year contract but would love to keep it running like new but are afraid to do anything like we do here because of their contracts. I just think a program like that would be helpful

To all the Devs out there working hard, keep it up. I love the choices and I love to test the new builds no matter how buggy they may be. Many Thanks go to all of you and all your hard work.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bushpilot444:
I have been trying to root my incredible 2 ver 2.3.4 and managed to get it unlocked so I could change carriers. However, in the process of trying to also root the phone using adb I seem to have flashed improperly somehow and corrupted the recovery image instead of replacing it. Maybe I got hold of a corrupt TWC_recovery image and that is the problem. I was trying to flash TWC and it claimed to work but upon trying to reboot into recovery it simply sits at the white HTC screen and stalls.

When I use the cable and ADB to tryi and flash clockwork instead of TWC it apparently is not communicating with the phone. I used adb devices and the list is empty.

Incidentally the phone still boots up good and works fine as a phone but recovery mode using the phone menu is also history. Is there anyway to fix this. It seems like a catch 22 and I am stumped. At any rate, not being able to flash eithere using the phone itself or adb and the laptop has me stymied. Anyone have any ideas. I want to root also and it seems I have to get back to 2.3.3 in order to do that.

My experience is limited. I have successfully rooted my Hero (previous phone) and my Toshiba Thrive in the past though. All went well with them.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated with proper thanks.:)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ArslanQureshi:
download a recovery then rename it to recovery.img then boot your phone to fastboot and connect it to pc put the recovery into your fastboot folder then run this command

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

this should fix your recovery NOTE ADB commands doesn't work until your phone boots up completely hence recovery is always flashed using fastboot commands

Ver 2.3.4

I tried each of the methods in the earlier posts in the thread and neither worked for me. In the process, I have screwed something and now my phone will not boot into normal phone mode either.

Somehow I have corrupted something that is preventing my flashing a new recovery. Since it is not rooted, I am not sure what I can adb flash and what I can't. I have tried flashing both Clockwork recovery and TWP and although adb reports success the phone will not go into recovery. It simply displays stuck on the white screen with the HTC logo. I also tried flashing by zipping up a rom and clockwork recovery and renaming the zip PG32IMG.zip, loading it onto the sdcard, and loading it at bootup of hboot. It shows loading, then I select reboot bootloader, then try loading recovery and the same thing. Stuck on the HTC white screen. Now, the phone will not boot into normal phone mode either but just sticks on the white screen. I am wondering..... do I need to do a wipe or anything else prior to flashing the recovery? Maybe partition is bad. I don't know the procedure for any of that.:rolleyes: I appreciate any help I can get.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Letitride:
What carrier are you planning to switch to? On the GSM side, you will most likely get no faster than 2G or 2.5G / Edge speed on data, depending on the radio band used by your provider. It is reliable & dependable for voice and/or WiFi calling with excellent battery life.

SInce you've tried to fixed it a number of ways with limited luck, you should consider flashing one of the factory/VZW's RUU file to restore it back to stock condition, unrooted - then, start the process over. The tacoroot method is what I've used last year to fixed one that appeared to be 100% brick.

PM me if you have trouble locating and want to use the RUU files as I believed that are no longer on the server - see what I can come up with from offline storage.

Apr 1 2001, 18:34:30 (or something similiar)

You are most likely missing the correct HTC drivers or have corrupted ones installed. Uninstall & clean it off your PC first, reboot & start over (or, use/borrow another computer to do this - look into the Control Panel ...)

Unless you are planning or using the DI2 on a Chinese carrier that support CDMA and/or GSM, you could run into issues - and, getting it to reset & work properly back on CDMA with VZW could be problematic too.

As for the SD card read error, have you checked its usability on the PC or another device directly, do you have another mSD card to check & verify that the slot ont the device isn't broken/damaged/dirty, etc. ?? Format it on a PC to FAT32 and copy a dummy file, re-insert to DI2 and see what happened ...
