[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonychau77:
So I reset it again using OMAPFlash. I will crash after a second or two. I plugged it in, ran the fastboot devices command before it crashed. Fastboot can recognize the serial number before it crashes. 12 ? or nothing after it crashed. Should I restore it to factory and lock it or just send it to some specialist?

P.S. When I charge it, it shows the battery with thunderbolt icon and crashes.
[General Questions and Answers] TANdev:
I use a HTC Explorer running cyanogenmod 10.

Previously i was running stock ROM and using Link2SD onto my SD card. I then factory reset the phone and flashed it with http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1847002. The partition i had made for Link2SD has now completely vanished. It was about 500Mb, now the SD card total storage shows a reduction in total memory of he same 500Mb.

Further, im not able to partition the remaining memory in the card to use Link2SD with either! HELP! What can i do?

Hi all,

From some time I'm unable to properly remove any installed software, doesnt matter if it was just installed seconds ago or while ago. When I try to remove, I'm getting: "Some_software was not completely removed. Do you want to remove it from list of installed programs?".

In fact, nothing is removed. I tried soft reset few times. Also, I'd like to avoid hard reset since its quite a lot of work. Someone maybe possibly have an idea how to fix it avoiding hard-reset?

thanks,

Chris

try to remove the program using Activesync. Maybe it will help you.

thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Ralphmarcus:
The only way to remove all the files is to ask the software developers for a list of files / extentions. I had this problem when trying out different software and found when trying to re install some, the re installation failed. After removing all the files, I was able to re install.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Tuningszocske:
When you try to uninstall a program which has components running in the background you will fail.

If you make a softreset and try to uninstall it again, you will success.

Another choice to uninstall these programs: it seems totally defferent than the problem, but when I use vijay555's phone-kill application I can uninstall immediately those ununinstallable softs.

That's it.

It works.

Before I got the nexus 5 I was debating going back to ios. Now a month later that idea seems crazy to me. I am still in awe and shock about the functionality of this phone. I simply did not even think this level of customization was possible. Sometimes I get so excited when an iphone user asks me why I use android because I get to explain to them all the different functions. But in most cases I find it confuses them more than interest them.:rolleyes: But that's fair, to each their own.

xposed framework and gravitybox are the only customizations I have put on this phone. And together with swiftkey, nova launcher, and the vanilla android this thing is a force to be reckoned with. 4.4.1 made the camera so much better and honestly at this point I can say this phone has gone above and beyond every single one of my expectations for a $700 phone, let alone 400.

Lastly, I just wanted to thank the xda community, you guys are f'ing awesome and the amount of support for this phone is unbelievable. And it's all done voluntarily and free of charge (although I feel everyone should donate). Consider my mind blown.
[Nexus 5 General] PunchTheLion:
Have you tried the app Tasker? ;)

If you like technical things and playing around with the phone that app is gold.

>To each their own

My programming-teacher uses apple products, which kinda surprised me at first. But he explained, that even though android may be more functional, you need to invest quite a lot of time for it to be really as customizable as people say - Time, that he as a teacher can't really spend. He'll rather spend 300$ more and have a phone that 'just works'. And indeed, from what I can tell, an uncustomized Android KitKat is pretty lame, even compared to iOS.

I'm comming from an SGS2 with CM 10.2 and I was actually pretty shocked how little an unrooted stock Android offers. Now, after investing some hours in driver issues, unlocking, rooting, searching for a good rom and flashing that, with several backups along the way, I'm really happy with my phone. But not everyone can or want to invest that much time or even has the expertise to do it.
[Nexus 5 General] 95Z28:
Not to turn this into an IOS vs Android debate, but I no longer root or flash my nexus devices because I also want a device that 'just works'. With that said stock Android 'just works' these days. My devices are perfectly stable and do more than I desire even while 100% stock.
[Nexus 5 General] shotta35:
Yeah, without going flamewar and all that... I definitely think Android 4.0 and above on it's own is fine for the normal user just as much as iOS is. I don't feel like I NEED to do mods, they are just convenience or to more taylor the phone to how I want to use it. There are plenty of things that open your eyes to doing things a different way once you know about it. I think this is the general problem with ANY user, people just don't like change so if they got into the mentality of Windows or iOS then changing to another way is seen as cumbersome and time wasting when in reality it could be better. Hell if we all still were using DOS 6.22 we wouldn't be able to get some things done as fast as we do today and all that's possible because of change.

As said though, I don't try forcing people to anything specific. My wife has and likes Android devices, my mom has a Galaxy 3 and few of my friends has an iPhone 5 or Lumias all recommended by me.

As for the phone itself, i'm loving mine as well. I've had tons of phones from tons of different companies. I had Windows Mobile to Blackberry (old Bold and Curves, not new stuff) to Windows Phone to Android to Windows Phone to iOS to Android. I liked my Samsung Blackjack tons but definitely loving this phone more than my last Android devices (Nexus 4, HTC One, SGS3, SGS2, HTC Inspire HD, Nexus One, T-Mobile G1). Right now i'm pretty content even though the Moto G and X are pulling at me.... :P

[Nexus 5 General] Towerdragon:
Welcome to the Android fold again without turning this into a flame war just got my black Nexus 5 days 3 ago and I'm totally loving it coming from HTC I do not miss sense at all i agree that android has finally caught up with ios in terms of being functional out of the box and very nice to look at also. Great time to be an android user.
[Nexus 5 General] pepdavies:
I've tried pretty much all of the roms for the N4 and N5. I'm happy now with stock 4.4.1 and Gravitybox. I've got all the tweaks I want really. I dread to think how much time i've spent flashing roms on this awesome phone instead of actually using it. It must be contagious though, my girlfriend just got an HTC One after years of being an iSheep :)
[Nexus 5 General] kaywalker23:
In all fairness, if somebody knows what they're doing you can root, add a custom recovery, xposed framework and gravitybox in probably less than half an hour. I would also argue that the stock android with nova launcher is more functional than the current ios. I would have completely agreed with you a couple of years ago, iphones just worked. But with the new android hardware and kitkat, the platform is just as stable an snappy as ios.
[Nexus 5 General] Nexus Phreak:
Since the advent of "Project Butter"and 4.2.x Jelly Bean, Pure Android phones no longer need to be rooted or fully customized for the average user to have an excellent mobile experience as they work quite well out of the box, so what your programming teacher states is just wrong. And the fact of he being a teacher, doesn't necessarily means he has deep knowledge about the features of every mobile OS out there.

Even though iOS and Android theoretically belong to the same OS family (Unix-Like), the concept of the iPhone and the Nexus are different as night and day.
[Nexus 5 General] EagleEye92:
+1 My first nexus and am absolute amazed
[Nexus 5 General] Dani897:
i rally like this phone. i'm sick of custom roms. people get too excited on xda for new things and don't realy remain objective. i don't know why the nexus (after the update, i know it has a few issues but it's pretty amazing now) would be a disapointment to anyone. there were great phones in the past and the nexus might not be that much better than an older phone in ways that matter but disapointment is harsh...

it's like in the military we used to say the best to bases are where you are going the the place you'd just come from. people rarely talk about the place they are now. when you get pcs'd every one tell you about they experiences they had there and build it up to be a real adventure. but when you get there all you have to talk about is your old friends at your old place maybe convincing someone going the other way it's better too. it's just human nature really...

as far as the arguments about apple "just working" well it does... so does your stock rom on your android.. it's nonsensical... it's not a reason not to chose android, but with that mentality there is no reason not to chose apple either.. so to each their own. just don't make it out to be that apple is soo much better in that regard.

a lot of android frustration is from people chosing the wrong mods to use.. i mean there are odex files on a stock phone for a reason... odex roms save space in data and are generally smoother running. deodexing and decompiling/recompiling often breaks things that might be minor but if you wonder why your android doens't run like ios... well it's probably not googles fault..

i had nexus 3 nexus 4 and niw nexus 5 my future device will be nexus 6 / i have an advice : if u want android for first time taste it only on NEXUS devices other android phones like Samsung , HTC , or etc...are piece of sh....t ! trust me
[Nexus 5 General] bloot:
4.4.1 for the N5 is so good I just installed v4a for enhancing the headphones sound, everything else remains as stock. Great phone, one of the best i've had.
[Nexus 5 General] starnostar:
I would never criticize someone who chooses apple products. I use both platforms (android for phones, and apple for tablets) and enjoy using each device... yes, I actually love my ipad. Without competition, android would have stagnated ages ago... the best thing for android is apple, and the best thing for apple is android (from the perspective of the consumer).

Given that, I don't really see a fault with nexus devices. They are the most well-rounded android device you can find.

For the average user, it gets updates like clockwork and has a MUCH cleaner interface than OEM skins. Samsung is the worst when it comes to software that seems really really rough around the edges, it seems like their developers each work on their own part without really communicating with each other. To top it off, keeping a nexus fully stock is a rock solid experience.

For tinkerers and geeks, it also shines as the Godzilla-size dev community on a nexus produces absolute gold, with some very unique tweaks that cant be found on any other device. The latest version of android with all the tools to do whatever you want with it is a devs/geeks dream device.

It amuses me when people criticize the nexus devices and their users... then turn around and complain when their year-behind version of android OTA is delayed, not up to date with nexus devices, and comes with enough bloat to fill a landfill...or complain about how their carrier fixed the exploit they used to get root.

While i agree that rooting and getting everything how youd like does take some time and reading, using a toolkit it can all be accomplished within 15-20 minutes. However, stock android has gotten so good, that i wish Google would ask manufacturers to give us the option of running stock android out of the box. I had a n5, found a deal on an LG G2 so i returned the nexus. while the hardware on the G2 was amazing, the UI was fugly and slow. Rooted and on aosp, still wasnt as smooth as the N5, which brought me back.

Dumbest statement I've read in a long time on xda.

Galaxy s3, s4, note2, note3, HTC one are NOT POS'. Just because you don't like them doesn't make them pieces of sh*t. So no, we won't trust you. I've owned the s3 and 4 and both were very high quality devices. My gal has the One and although I don't like sense 5, it doesn't mean the phone is a pos. It is also very high quality (except the camera)

Manufacturers don't want what we want, Samsung for example, was/is pretty asshole with dropping sources of their exynos chipsets.

AFAIK it's 350 (16gb) and 400 (32gb) plus 10€ shipping, at least that's what I paid.

There was a big thread on battery life, and as long as you stick to stock, you should be fine, i guess.

What ROM do you use? I recomend you use shostock3 v4, with jeboo kernel for me this rom and this kernel are the best combination to save battery. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
Before changing rom's, you need to install Better Battery Stats and find out exactly what's draining so much. Chances are if it's a rouge app and you inadvertently re install it on a new rom, you'll continue to have the same issues. Best to find the current cause before taking drastic measures.

So with 4.4 came the full screen album art on the lockscreen when playing music. Because I converted my HTC One into a Google Edition I am now using the stock music app google play music. The new lockscreen album art is cool BUT one major flaw.........All my album art looks blurry! I know its not a major issue but is there a way to somehow reset the images and get higher resolution album art into this? I downloaded a song from google play to see what it looks like on the lockscreen and it looks amazing and crisp. So......what is up with my music and their album covers?

Anyone?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul_viado:
i believe you have to go into google play music on the web and manage it that way..you should be able to change and take album art off only if you've already uploaded your music on there.

Hi, i´m using the same combination. HTC One reconfigured to GPE with Kitkat 4.4. At mine the resolution of Coverart in lockscreen while playing from Google Play Music is ok. Not blurry.

sorry for not helping you, but it seems not to be a generally problem. Maybe it´s only for self uploaded music?

I had a recent soft bricked due to some "unknown" problems which I couldn't figure out.

Anyways,I was able to boot into download mode and successfully flashed the stock jellybean firmware via Odin.

Now the problem is that my battery is empty and the phone is stuck on an what I think is an "Empty Battery Bootloop" was the battery icon blinking every 5 seconds or so.

Any ideas how to revive it ?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damageinflictor:
Maybe something went wrong while you were flashing the ROM via odin. First of all did you tick Only the right options while flashing in odin?

Supposing you did,

1. Maybe the ROM file which holds information for your battery might be facing curroption.

2. Maybe the kernel (the default one coming with the stock ROM) was not flashed properly.

In either case, I would suggest trying to boot into download mode and try to flash the whole thing all over again. If the problem persists, flash a different kernel/ROM or both.

II'm pretty sure that should fix the problem though.

Just keep it on charging wid 0.7mA or a 1mA charger for few hrs... if still it doesnt work..use a usb cord to charge via lappy...

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Lord Vader:
Yesterday when I was charging my one week old Note 3 I noticed it stopped charging in the middle of a charge (the red constant LED started flashing).

I turned the phone off, took out the battery. Turn on charging but did not restart the phone.

Early this morning I got up and the battery was completely drained with no LED indication on the phone.

THE PHONE IS DEAD.

I've tried my old charger to my SGS2, charging via computer, nothing. It wont charge.

Since I've already installed CF-root and CWM recovery i guess my warranty is void, so I'm REALLY DESPERATE right now...!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] o0o.paw:
Perhaps it is simply the battery that has died ?

I know the NFC is in he battery so perhaps its fried itself somehow?

If you haven't got a warranty still maybe just buy another battery (make sure it's original for the NFC)

If the phone is having an issue with charging you could pick up a new battery and the separate USB charger.

I bought the Samsung USB charger and it took about 2 weeks to come from South Korea to Perth, Australia (everything takes longer to get delivered to Perth).

Oh yeh I bought the charger and phone separately as it worked out cheaper...

You may even be able to pick one up locally ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Lord Vader:
Well, I don't know if it's related, but I used NFC when connected my Galaxy Gear for the first time yesterday..
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] o0o.paw:
That sounds like too much of a coincidence... maybe it did fry itself? or it was faulty to begin with.

I'd grab a spare battery and charger and if that works I'd take the old battery back and say you want a replacement under warrant. I doubt there's a Knox trigger for the battery :D

Let us know how you go, it may help someone else later down the track.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Lord Vader:
Yes, I'll try with a new battery. I just measured the current voltage with a multimeter and it says 2.78V in the battery...

I'll post as soon as I get some news, and please, any other suggestions it's highly appreciated!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
I'd try a secondary battery also, and a different charger with it, maybe your power at home spiked and fried it. Maybe it is the NFC issue.

As for warranty, can't really see Samsung (notorious for bad batteries lately!! swelling, and S4 issues) not replacing it even if it has a custom recovery on it. Custom recovery doesn't mess up power wattage unless your changed your CPU Voltage.
