Arrays.xml autobrightness values of 4.4.3 exactly match these of 4.4.2. So I don't think Google guys have changed anything in stock autobrightness between 4.4.2 and 4.4.3.

The highest levels of stock autobrightness are fine, the lowest ones are problematic.
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
Is it possible they fixed the spiked 30,000 lux readings or would that be noticeable in the arrays.xml file as well?
[Nexus 5 General] pgptheoriginal:
That's true, the minimum brightness level is the only one being too high for me... But disabling auto brightness when using the phone at night isn't particularly bothering.

[Nexus 5 General] cybwer:
I haven't analyzed arrays.xml any further. As for 30,000 lux readings, since 4.4.2 I'm using "Xposed light sensor filter". Actually, it's a good idea - I will try to disable the module and check if they fixed the issue.

[G2 General] msg1285:
As the great and wonderful nosey company they are T-Mobile added their version of carrier IQ our phone. Having paid $600 dollars for my phone I feel I should get to choose what is and isn't on my device. All that being said T-Mobile seems to have been pretty sneaky at hiding carrier IQ deep in the settings and it doesn't really show up in most task managers. Even in titanium back-up I couldn't freeze it.

So you want it gone, well here it is.

You need a file explorer such as Root Explorer and then there are 6 files to remove.

Go to system/app and there are 3 files with carrier IQ listed delete all 3. ( Sorry I already deleted them so I don't have the exact name)

Delete IQ-tmobile-release-signed.apk

Delete IQToggle.signed.apk

( Sorry I already deleted them so I don't have the exact name of the 3rd if someone posts I'll update it)

Then go Data/Data and remove the 3 carrier IQ files.

Delete com.carrieriq.tmobile

Delete com.carrieriq.tmobile.IQToggle

I removed these with no issues, but as always do this at your own risk, I am not responsible for your phone.

Or you can simply just flash a stock d802 rom and not worry about it being wrapped up deeper into the framework. They did that by design.

How am I supposed to know? The NSA is gonna surveil all of us regardless of carrier iq being on or off. But if it's off it should be off.

[One (M7) Android Development] swiftgs:
I was a little bit frustrated about the fact that the flash is disabled in Hotspot mode (in my case the medialink HD) and while making a call. I looked into the system files and found out that modifying these 3 files enable the flash in call / hotspot mode.

/sys/camera_led_status/led_hotspot_status

/sys/camera_led_status/led_wimax_status

/sys/camera_led_status/led_ril_status

Change permission to read only and the values won't change anymore, by doing so the flash can still be enabled in calls/medialink mode (if the value was 0).

maybe a real dev can look into this because after a restart the permissions are bak to normal again ;)

Use at own risk!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Anderson2:
Many nexus 7 (and I believe nexus 5) users have had the annoying problem of losing the ability of their windows pc recognizing the nexus as a mtp device. In my case this happens every time I have to root the device. Something about installing the necessary adb drivers seems to mess up the ability of Windows 7 to install the correct driver for mtp access. Typically, the nexus will connect in ptp (camera) mode but not ptp. Updating the android phone driver just doesn't change anything. I tried all the recommended steps but nothing worked till now. Here is what worked.

After rooting, my Windows device manager showed only one entry related to the nexus 7. It was an entry for "android phone" and within it was an entry for "Google nexus ADB interface".

**there was NO entry for "portable devices" **

1. In device manager, with the nexus connected via usb cable, I clicked on the "Google nexus ADB interface" (inside android phone entry) and selected to update the driver, then selected "browse my computer for driver software", chose "c:\Windows" and - this is what is different - selected **let me pick.... **

2. The resulting options included 2 choices, but no mtp option, and I selected "Google nexus ADB interface"

3. When it installed, suddenly "portable devices" appeared in the Windows device manager with nexus 7 in it !! But with the yellow error symbol.

4. Next, I right clicked on the "portable devices /Nexus 7" entry and updated it as usual. Yellow error icon disappeared and now mtp works fine.

The important points are that

- standard 'update the driver' does not restore the mtp driver (perhaps because the correct Windows driver is in a different location and has an older date), but selecting one of the 2 offered choices in **let me pick.... ** within the c:\Windows\ directory worked to recreate the entry for "portable devices" and when that was updated, mtp connection was restored and I could copy and transfer files via usb cable!

Hope this helps someone else. Thank you Vyom for verifying this worked and refining my description to make it more precise.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ezas:
This guide can be helpful. It clears out 'ghosts' of past device connections.

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/165554-usb-driver-general-fix-problems.html

Also Wugs toolkit has a really good guide to cleaning out drivers. Then stop short of installing drivers. Then Windows should auto configure MTP drivers when You plug in the device.

I also make sure that I have deleted any drivers in uninstall programs in the Windows control panel.

Its a lot of steps, but it can save time over try this, try that. It returns your computer to like an Android device had never been plugged in before. Now any routine to install drivers (after the device is recognized as an MTP device) should go smoothly.

Long story short- I have TWRP installed with NO backup files or roms on the device. I made a TWRP backup and put it on my PC pre brick...

When I turn the G2 on and plug it into my PC i get an unknown deivce which has the hardware id: USB\VID_18D1&PID_D001&REV_0232

I attempted to use the TWRP sideload with no benefit- if i can use ADB i know how to push my image but i CANNOT get adb to see the device..

any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

I am not familiar with adb when device is off or fastboot. So if you are desperate follow one of the guides on un-bricking the g2 (which will bring it back to stock and wipe data) but then you'll be up and running and you would just have to re-root and unlock it

Assuming that you can boot into TWRP, then you probably just need to install the right drivers. Search around the forums.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lewis952:
well lets see here are you on windows 8 or 7 ?

this is what i did

I put the phone into fastboot mode then connected it to the computer, well now the customer doesn't recognize it and you should have the drivers installed then what you want to do is search for device manager, look under the Universal Serial Bus Controllers and you will see USB connect with an "!" what you need to do is right click on it then go to update drivers, from there you need to select browse my computer for the drivers not the automatic one then select "let me from a list of devices. next you want to unchecked show compatible hardware now look for Lg in the manufacture list and there should be one that says something about "adb interface" and select it.

Now try using a cmd windows and adb. what i did was i download a fastboot.zip it has adb interface in that zip file then i opened a cmd prompt in that folder by holding shift and right clicking. now once it was open i typed adb list and it recognized my phone

then i went into twrp and adb sideload and I side loaded a stock zip now you be fine and back to square one.

Reason I ask is because my phone no longer connects to my computer for some ****ty reason, so I was wondering if this is a possiblity.

Also, when in bootloader, my phone is in fastboot usb mode, does that mean the boot flash would work anyway?

Sent from my HTC One X+
[HTC One X+] Ghand0ur:
to my knowledge, no you can't. Fastboot over wifi wouldn't work I think because at that time the phone is most "vulnerable" with the most basic primitive options. I dont think the phone has access to any of the main functions during that screen.

If the phone is in fastboot usb when you connect it to the pc it means it knows its connected to something.

just try "fastboot devices" to see if you have your device serial number written. If it is, then try flash boot. If its not, then try different usb ports. I have 4 available ports on my PC and awkwardly only one that i know of works with fastboot

If I had known this prior to going to KK, I wouldn't have gone. Google changed things for messaging in KK. Basically, there is a default messaging setting now (it's under settings -> Wireless and networks -> More -> Default messaging app). And from what I've read, there is currently no way to stop the default messaging app from getting a notification, hence the reason you can't use a 3rd party app like Blocker. I like having the ability to blacklist in the ROM, but when I did that and tried to undo it for a contact, that contact remained blocked for SMS. I had to go into blocked messages and restore their messages in order to read them, especially if it was an MMS. What a pain in the derriere. Even if you turn off notifications in the SMS app, the SMS / MMS will still be delivered to the SMS app. Before it wouldn't get delivered there. You can read more about it here http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/12/06/non-default-sms-apps-in-kitkat-can-still-write-to-the-sms-database-using-a-switch-in-app-ops-no-root-required/ if you want. BTW, if you do what it says to do in that article, you will lose the ability for the SMS app you are modifying to send or receive messages, even if all you do is turn off the receive. I personally prefer something like Blocker because I can create "blocking profiles". I set up different profiles with different blacklists. If I'm at work late at night I can turn on my night work profile and some people will get an automatic response while others will get blocked all together. If I'm out on the motorcycle I can turn on the "riding" one and people will get an automated response saying that I'm out riding and that they will have to talk to me later (useful for family members that are overprotective and have to know you are alive). The blocking list in the ROM is one list and only one list. You have to remove and add numbers as you need to, probably why 3rd party apps were created where you can use profiles, duh Google. Google fail on this one IMO. I'm going to give this root call blocker pro because I'm willing to try anything at this point. Oh how I wish I could go back to MJ4. :rolleyes:

How bout changing MMS.apk (or whatever app you want blocked) permissions? If you remove its permissions it shouldnt be able to send or receive messages. You can do it in AppOps, or with a root explorer.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wizard Knight:
Starting in 4.4, android handles sms differently. It's a priority thing. Previous versions allowed an app to have a higher sms receive priority, then do something with the message, such as display it, filter it, or stop it from filtering down to sms apps with lower priorities. That's how blockers did their job.

Starting in 4.4 and going forward, the sms app selected as the default is automatically given the highest priority, so blockers can't receive it first, meaning they no longer work.

There is no way to make it work the old way other than going to a previous version of Android or using a custom rom with this built in. (maybe an app with root permission could do it but I haven't checked).

The only work around is to download an sms app that has a block feature built into it
