[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nashcasten:
this happened to me a couple of times back...

I tried doing factory reset (wiping out all data) the phone still acted up...

then i noticed that my album had issues loading up photos and videos i saved on the SD card (I'm using a 64gig Micro SD). I had about 20% unused space left on my memory card.

I removed the SD card and the the phone stopped acting up... i decided to remove some of my heavier files out of the SD card specially movies... and problem stopped...

Occasionally I would experience this... Now all I do is re-seat my memory card and the phone would act normal again....
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] aimfire72:
Weird, I also just had this happen... I have a blinking white notification light, so I put it on the charger a little while ago and see what's going on. I'll try the SD card thing if it still refuses to turn on. Have never had an android phone just crap out like this, makes me nervous...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] aimfire72:
OK, weirdly enough, I picked up the phone about a half hour later and the screen turned on fine, back to normal. No idea why this happened.
[General Questions and Answers] RedPandaFox:
Hi,

I know this topic has been beaten into the ground but I have been looking around and have found no solutions for this issue relating to my position.

Why do I need to a solution to?

I work in a business which deals with a lot of phones which are mostly faulty/cracked screen/need data retrieved while they have a lock screen;

I see mainly Samsung phones come in with these issues;

Factory reset is not always an option for data recovery reasons, etc etc.

The situation?

Rooting the devices is not an option.

Touch screen may not work or lock code may have been forgotten.

USB debugging probably isn't enabled.

What do I need to know?

How do I enable USB debugging from without going to settings; and

How can I remove the lock without inputting the code?

What I have tried:

Why it didn't work?

sqlite3: not found

Why it didn't work?

Permission denied

And all the other threads I found pretty much all lead to the same two results.

Any help that leads to a solution for me would be greatly appreciated!!
[General Questions and Answers] backb0ne5p1d0r:
You can't use sqlite3 or rm if the adb doesn't have root access.

It has to show a # instead of a $ sign. So just root the device and unroot it later if you want :)

And some phones give root access on adb even if you don't root them. So on adb shell type "su". If it showed a # sign then everything will work fine.

If it gave an error that su wasn't found then you need to root it.

Or you can try using adb pull commands to pull files from sdcard

You cannot enable USB debugging without going to settings. But there are some custom recoveries that gives full adb access. So just flash a custom recovery.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] johniemi:
I see all these instruction for editing splash screens and converting them to a format the Wizard can handle, but I just want a simple way; I'd like to get a ready-made splash screen that I could just upload to my device and overwrite the current splash screen.

My current splash screen is a stupid picture of a beer mug and I want to change it to something that looks more "Windowish" (you know, it might have clouds or bubbles and stuff and reads Windows or something like that on the screen). Please let me know where to get one and what directory to place it in on my Wizard. You can also send the splash screen file to my email if that's not too much of a hassle.

Thanks!

Is there a way to calibrate the gyroscope? I can't find it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] og.blaah:
I found a way.

Install Nova launcher.

Long press the home screen, tap apps/widgets

Under widgets find activities (with nova icon) long press to add the widget.

A menu will open, and scroll down to settings, open that up.

Scroll down to gyroscope calibration and long press it. The calibration screen will open.

You can also open other settings that are not in the regular settings menu.

Hope this helps

and flashed into my device

after flash it didn't turn on.. so i pulled the battery out and inserted it back

it takes up to 10mins to turn on and it vibrates constantly

it takes up to 20mins to boot into bootloader and gets stuck....... vol up & dwn and power button do not respond

That is impossible. With a locked bootloader is not possible to flash partitions in fastboot. You must have been unlocked already and therefore the HTCdev error.

I just wondered if you could install Windows 8.1 on a tablet running Windows 8.1 RT?:confused:
[Windows RT General] netham45:
No.
[Windows RT General] Håvi:
Are you sure? I have seen people how has done it
[Windows RT General] SixSixSevenSeven:
You havent. Windows 8.1 is for x86 processors. Windows RT 8.1 is for ARM. 2 are completely incompatible.
[Windows RT General] GoodDayToDie:
Yeah, even if you had a jailbreak for 8.1, it's (blatantly obviously, to anybody who knows the first thing about CPU instructions sets) not possible. The closest you could come would be installing Win8.1 in an x86 emulator. This is technically possible - for example, you can run Linux in an x86 emulator (built using JavaScript, of all things); http://bellard.org/jslinux - but it's slow as hell and the tablets don't really have enough resources (RAM, etc.) to make it practical even if the speed was great enough to be useful. Oh, and there isn't any jailbreak for 8.1 released yet so far as I know anyhow.

Why the title says ROM? This is kernel released right?
[LG Optimus 3D] A n d r 0 i d:
Nope it's a ROM, and it's amazing, been using it for a week now with no problems!

Couple of tweaks you need to make to it for fluidity and battery life:

In Developer options...

Tick "Force GPU rendering"

Change Window & Transition animation scale to 0.5

(To see the difference the Force GPU rendering setting makes just back right out of the settings after ticking/unticking it (Only takes effect after doing this) and go back into developer options then scroll up and down! :) )

In Advanced Wi-Fi

Change "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to "Only when plugged in" (Battery was being rinsed on mine because of this, It may be different for you)

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] dragnan:
In CM 10.2 the long click behaviour of the Mobile Data QuickSetting Tile is changed - compared to CM 10. Instead of opening "Mobile Network Settings", it opened the "Data Usage".

I found this quite annoying as I often use this for enabling/disabling the Data Roaming setting.

So I have created a modified SystemUI.apk, for CM 10.2, that opens "Mobile Network Settings" on long click Mobile Data QuickSetting Tile. You are very welcome to use it :)

Simply download and copy into /system/app using root explorer or insert into a flashable zip and flash using CWM.

Well 60 days since last reboot and suddenly my Nook Library can not find any of 3000 ePub files

located in /sdcard/My Files/Books

The only books I see are the Nook Guide from /system/media

The ePubs are all there and accessible with reader when I click on book in ES File Manager

I have 2GB free disk space on SD Card

I failed to resolve issue after trying all of the below:

* tried removing and reinserting sdcard

* rebooted Nook

* moved library.db from /sdcard/My Files/Books

* moved database folder from /data/data/con.android.mediascanner ( not sure the name of folder right now)

I think forcing a media scan by Android Gingerbread system may rebuild the Library

Any help advice with somebody who has had this issue is appreciated

TIA

after my unskilled mucking about the tablet basically had a sleep of death episode

after waiting a few days for battery discharge Nook is back up and Library is populated again

now I am hoping i do not get sleep of death issues I have had before

this is used as a reader / chess AI and PGN /

I really hardly add apps or even go online with this tablet for that I use an HD+

I have too many ePubs on SD Card so it seems to have corrupted the Library

yes it is possible,

even different ways to get this:

you can use a little freeware application 'File As First Last" that will be included in the default contacts applications. It allows you to save the contact by "firstname lastname" 'or even by company etc. The application can be found on pocketpcfreewares.com: http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=828

you could also change the contact settings on your desktop...within the Outlook contact, you can change the setting 'save contact as', there you can chose to use "firstname lastname"

yet another way to solve this problem is to use another application for your contacts. Pocket Informant is really very good! there you can easily chose to sort the contacts by "firstname lastname"...you can also chose to see the contact pictures in the list of contacts, which is really great I think!

and you've got many many other options and settings to change the calendar/contacts/tasks views...also a really great search function within Pocket Informant...try it for yourself...

CIAO!

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] adodson927:
I just got an HTC one from Best Buy Mobile (Verizon) yesterday. Turned S-Off using runrunner. Verified root but can not access recovery. I had the same issue with a S4 but it was a known issue for all that has updated to the 4.3.

I have tried all the suggestions in flashing TWRP. I am wondering if this is a Verizon related issue? Maybe they are putting something on their phones to prevent recovery?

HELP!!!!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] adodson927:
Something is really jacked up with my phone. It kept saying Unfortunately Amazon has stopped. Over and over again. So I gave up and went to do a factory restore and data wipe. I first went to Super user and removed permanent root. I then tried to do a factory wipe through settings/backup & reset reset phone. It still gave me issues trying to enter recovery mode. It would get hung up and then reboot to a sort of safe mode version of the OS. (with a red disclaimer at the bottom). Then I tried to do factory reset by holding the volume down and power. Its doing the same thing. At this point I don't are about root I just want a working phone.

Any suggestions?

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] carm01:
OK, so you are s-ff, is your bootloader unlocked?

IF you are not on stock recovery YOU CANNOT run an update
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] adodson927:
I'm s-off bootloader unlocked. I have no recovery. Not even stock.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
.. you have to have a recovery..

I think? :confused:

can you successfully fastboot flash a custom recovery? If not can you fastboot the stock recovery..?

To be completely honest, I would just run the RUU. should fix you right up :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BreakingVZW:
You could boot into RUU and flash the decrypted stock rom zip to get back to straight stock. The zip reflashes stock recovery. I don't see why that wouldn't work.

Edit: Oops. Didn't even notice andy just recommended the same thing lol. My fault.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] carm01:
Thats odd, i thought you had to have a recovery of some kind.

Here is what I would do:

Lets try Flashing CWM instead of TWRP in fastboot I will post it, and I will also post the stock recovery there to as well.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/kk2esdrx1g1b50p/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-m7vzw.img

the image is easily installed via an unlocked bootloader with the following command:

fastboot flash recovery imagename.img

in this case: fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-m7vzw.img

See if it actually takes, and report back any errors.

If for some reason it does not, try booting into bootloader/fastboot then push the stock recovery:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/hgzgq84svzahvnv/htconerecovery_signed.img

Hopefully that will at least take and try to push CWM again , reboot bootloader and reboot into recovery . I am hoping that does it for you.

Go here: http://download.chainfire.eu/370/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80.zip and dump SU on the root of your SD card and flash the SU.

I have seen people have all kind of weird issues with rum runner and I am just glad i had the official java card method used on mine. I also tend to just use a stock ROM which is just de-bloated.

Anyways I have used Santod040 roms in case i need to go back to pure stock ROM only: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2485319

You will need the odex one to run any OTA

The firmware is a different thing to flash.
