[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cleverdicky:
Hi, how is it for all the years android has now been around. In what must be millions of iterations and formats.

Regardless whether it be on a small device or large touch screen.

One constant has been universal.

Whenever we try to type on the screen, whether its a dedicated app or a text box in facebook, the designers and developers have seen fit to grace us with the most painfully idiotic text select tools and the most ridiculously small box to type in that could ever possibly be imagined.

What you think is half a screen of real estate to compose your master piece, once clicked, a text box magically pops up a tiny java esq stamp sized patch, and an infuriating scrolling box that lets you read three whole words at a time.

Does anyone know a reason why this is? or what can be done about it?

I would surly love to know. And is it due to android interpreting the requirements of the app/webpage.

Or the other way around.

Thankfully xda is one of the very few exception websites ;)

And sorry if this isnt the correct section to ask.

Okay so some time has passed since the release of the Note 3 and 3rd party S-view cases with the sleep/wake functionality have started to pop up. I was just wondering if anyone has found a nice quality version with a price tag under $60

Hi,

I know screen sizes are different. But if you intentionally keep that factor aside, do you think its worth upgrade? I am comfortable with both screen sizes. What draws me towards lg g pro is its snapdragon 600 processor as compared to exynos on s4 i9500. Any suggestions are welcome and thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ipsuvedi:
If you do this it will be called Downgrade, not Upgrade ...LOL:D
[Galaxy S 4 General] kimitza:
:)..coming from an lg optimus g,i wouldn't call the g pro a downgrade. G pro feels like a premium device,with a stock software miles ahead of tw. Unfortunatelly,if you are a flashcoholic or you like latest os,forget about it. Lg sucks at updates. Personally,i wouldn't change the s4 for g pro. Don't forget the g pro was ment to be a note 2 alternative. What i would get with my eyes closed is the g2. Bigger screen,bigfer battery,nice fluid and optimized os.

Sent from stock GT-I9505/smart phones,dumb people.
[Galaxy S 4 General] azeem.droid:
If u r looking for something between note 2 and note 3 then i would definitely recommend you the optimus g pro. Trust me its the most under rated phone.

It has got a gorgeous display, large removable battery, external storage, a zippy processor and more than enough RAM. The lg stock rooted rom i use is amazingly stable and i dont really feel like m missing something.

You will miss the vast developer support of the s4, but its not a big deal if u r not a flash junkie. There r quite a few stable roms for it if u wanna try.

Go for it :thumbup:
[Galaxy S 4 General] Demented22:
I just switched from the s4. To the LG g2 it is a big difference actually

I am totally new on Android and I did an accidental factory reset of my fully loaded D2-912 pad (!) and I lost everything! I managed to d/load with my PC the apk files of the main applications and tried to reinstall them from the D2-912 drive which shows in My Computer with the full contents, but I was unable.I The D2-912 in MyComputer must be be an empty shell, because I reset probably wiped out the system opf the Android pad, much as a format.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdweeb:
Hi,

I'm new to Android, so please bear with me. I just recently picked up a Nexus 4 to play with. It came with 4.2 on it, and I have done the OTA updates to 4.3 and then 4.4. I decided to root the device and followed the instructions here. That all seems to work OK and I can get root using adb.

The first thing I tried to do next was change the hostname from android-something to a hostname that I could remember. I did a bunch of searching here and found the following commands suggested:

getprop net.hostname
setprop net.hostname

If I run these commands, the hostname changes. The problem is once I reboot, the name is back to what it was originally. I even tried remounting /system as rw, as I saw in some other post, and running the command again like this:

mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
setprop net.hostname NEWNAME
mount -o remount,ro -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system

I tried rebooting after that and the name change still doesn't stick. What am I doing wrong?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luiseteyo:

[HTC One X] Petecito:
Hi all,

I love using Drive on my phone and after upgrading to 4.2.2 notice it runs more slowly and there's no more text reflow/autofit. Same for Gmail until I realised I had to check the box to flow and then double tap (it doesn't do it automatically) but still no joy for Drive.

How can I get automatic reflow back for Drive on my HTC One X? I've chatted with HTC Support and they can't help and I've posted a question to Google support but haven't heard back.

Any ideas?

Many thanks for any help.

Hi,everyone.

I tried to upgrade my XDAIIs to WM5.but met "FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE failed"when I tried to resize the EXT_ROM.

I've done a hard reset and install the ext_rom files as a standard procedure.Then install xda-developers_Unlocker.CAB.

I tapped unhide then did a soft_reset,'unlock' then soft_reset.So I did see the ext_rom as well as copying/deleting files in it.

But when I used the DOC repartitioning tool with default value'128kb',I received the error "FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE failed"

I've tried several times,still doesnt work...

ROM:1.42.00 WWE

Radio:1.13.00

EXTROM version:1.42.119 WWE

Any help will be great.Thanks for advance. :x

I had this same error on an sx66. I have 2 of them one of them gave this error and I couldnt upgrade, the other worked fine and it's upgraded to wizard v2a now and doing great. Any ideas on what this error means or how to get around it and reformat the ext rom?????
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] asmode:
Me too

Got exactly the same issue,,, At least i have installed wm5 without reformating the rom but I'd like to find why mine BA is doing that instead of the one of a friend, exactly the same origin... For my friends it works at the first time.... :(
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] landmark:
I second that request. I've got exactly the same problem, however with a genuine Qtek 9090. After unhiding and unlocking, I can delete all the contents of Storage and ExtROM. In fact, both are empty now. However, any attempt to use the partitioning tool only results in that %&$§/%(/ error message.

I've tried nearly any wm 2003 firmware since someone mentioned he succeeded by using an old pda2k firmware - still the same result. I've even changed the name of the Storage FS driver in the registry - no success either.

I'd be happy to provide some debug information or the like.

PLEASE HELP!

My ExtROM _is_ unlocked. I did write that I was able to delete all its content. So it's quite pointless to talk about localized unlockers.

Reasonable comments, anyone?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] afbcamaro:
There is I believe a way to do this through MTTY. At least get everything back to normal before running the resizer tool. (A way to bring DOC chip to factory formating) Its probably corruption of the DOC. I remember doing this on the Universal, I just don't remember any of that right now. Do an all device search for MTTY and DOC for a possible solution and verify it with some of the hardware gurus first before attempting.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] landmark:
Well, what I did is that

set 14 0

task 28

task 0

sequence which cleared the ExtROM and corrupted the boot screens (there are white stripes across it now), but had no effect on the DOC_repart error message.

I'd really appreciate some investigation from the gurus here since the problem exists for several years(!) now without any solution.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] SilverSamurai:
guys...

try this...

downgrade to wm2003

unlock/unhide/repart your doc first to your liking.

then upgrade to wm5 or wm6.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] landmark:
I'm sorry to sound harsh, but: Is it really that difficult to read? I said that

and

So once again for the slow-minded: Me and my previous speakers did try this under (in fact several different) wm 2003, not wm5 or wm6. There is no ExtROM accessible in wm5 or wm6.

Again sorry, this time for repeating:

Reasonable comments, anyone?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] SilverSamurai:
---------------

@Mods

(I hate to reply to this but i have to about questioning my reading skills)

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

Actually IF you tried it right for the first time you can never go wrong.

in WM2003

1. UNHIDE

2. UNLOCK

3. FORMAT_DOC set it to the smallest size

Because technically and sensibly:

You cannot unlock a hidden partition

You cannot format/resize a locked partition

That's as plain as it could ever be.

My 3-LINER INSTRUCTION is sufficient to solve your problem.

MTTY doesnt have to enter the scene it's only used if you have a broken mail button.

You(Generalizing) never said exactly where and what OS is you(Generalizing) are doing. Such WHINING deserves my straightforward answer.

So we give instructions, as we are given the problem.

What's not reasonable from what i've said?

Even a 5th grader can do instructions.

(now that's harsh)

FYI

There IS and WILL BE an Extrom in and WM5/WM6 even if you have changed it in WM2003. It's part of the BA.

You just cant see it and it's not being utilized. it's a Disk_On_Chip. if you managed to know MTTY.

You SHOULD know that.

ROLLBACK to 2003se then do everything right. Otherwise, read the WIKI.

and if you're sure you're doing everything right then you might have a faulty hardware.

if its hard to comprehend then let the readers decide.

and regarding the extrom. i can access the DOC via MTTY with WM6.

which makes you wrong and im correct. nuff about that.

1. Nobody said factually and specifically that they tried it with WM2003 at one time (In General),

2. You've got a problem then im helping,

This thread is to investigate a software failure which circumstances are accurately described, not to please your ego. Your past contributions were useless since you didn't pay attention to the specifications given.

There's no point in repeating inapplicable phrases, and doing so in spite is not what I call "some help" - it is in fact pure nuisance and puts the problem solving at risk.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] ttrungkien:
is this probleme solved??

Maybe you try this:

1. Downgrade to wm2003s

2. copy unhide&unlock (*.cab) to main memory and run it

3. start/program/extrom there we have 4 program ( hide, lock, unhide, unlock) --> run unhide then unlock ---> softreset

4. copy repartDOC (*.exe) to main memory and run it:

- format with 128kb --> you'll have 60Mb storage

- format with 16000kb (recomment) --> you'll have 45Mb storage

6. then Upgrade to wm5.0 or 6.0

7. after upgrade --> do a clean with record+camera+softreset --> no/ yes/ yes

Enjoy ;)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] landmark:
Unfortunately, it is not.

And that's the point where the mentioned error message occurs.

Some fellow posters and me tried some dozens of different wm2003(se) versions on their Blue Angels, ran virtually any unhide/unlock tools available here, cleared their ExtROM and Storage areas to the very last bit, even tampered with the bootloader accessible via MTTY to get things in order.

To me, it's out of the question that most of the posters who've reported that error could be to simpleminded to follow the few instructions. It appears that there are some devices which have to be either different by hardware or by software that can't be repartitioned by the published tool.

However it's a fact that the Blue Angel is an outdated device these days and I fear that the dev gurus won't pay attention anymore.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] landmark:
Again thank you for your fast intervention and your clear statement, levenum.

I agree with you that ignoring counterproductive suggestions (as well as their originators) is common sense. However, it is my reception that over and over repeated inappropriate cut-and-paste advices do mess up the thread in a way that it's no longer possible to see if the problem is actually solved. Someone whose contribution might be the key could fail to answer because of the mindless recurrences.

Hence my numerous requests to stop them. Just my two cents.

Back to topic, then:

I've also tried the rom suggested in this posting. In terms of the discussed error, everything is the same: The ExtROM can be unhid and unlocked, its content can be deleted. However the attempt to use the repartitioning tool again leads to the well-known error message.

Summarization of what we know by now:

1) There are a number of Blue Angel devices which Disk-on-a-chip can't be repartitioned with Repart_DOC.exe.

2) They have different hardware brands. Reported are at least Siemens SX66 and Qtek 9090.

3) They utilize different WM2003 (SE) software images.

4) Their ExtROM can be unhid and unlocked with the well-known utility.

5) The contents of ExtROM and Storage can be deleted afterwards as a proof that the unlock really succeeded.

6) An attempt to use Repart_DOC leads to the "FL_IOCTL_FORMAT_PHYSICAL_DRIVE failed" error message.

7) Some users reported success using a genuine english firmware. Those successes could not be reproduced by third party yet.

8) A user suggested clearing the DOC with the sequence

set 14 0
task 28
task 0

using mtty. At least two users reported that this however damaged their boot screens (white stripes across) with no avail regarding the repartitioning error message.

9) Another user reported - and I can confirm - that the ExtROM ist locked after attempting to repartition the Disk-on-a-chip. Hence, Repart_DOC does something to the devices affected, however not what's wanted.

Any reasonable comments and additions are very welcome.
