'hit the power button', leave 10 secs, then do a soft rest is exactlly what i meant, i had to do that before i could get my exchange settings to stick

i set it up twice and lost em due to crashing before i did the power, 10secs, reset, thing.

I was theorising that the same thing could work, ive not lost my today pic as yet.

vikasmal

Tried what you suggested but my search returned nothing !
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Carnivor:
i couldnt find it either, poss cos i got a imate and you got a qtek, he found it on an o2, so its poss build related.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] simon_darley:
i have never had a problem.

i have taken a photo, and used paint to down size the file to a 640 x 640 (this accomodates screen rotation, provided you get the best part of the picture to the left and to the top so rotaion only chops off the right or the bottom).

I also dont use the today function and browse to the phone. I open pictures and vides, find the file, and use the menu function to say set as today screen, with an opaque setting of choice.

dont store on the memory card, you need that picture available on startup, the pic is only about 100 - 200kb +/-, put it in my docs and its fine.

mine has never been lost except when I have changed themes manually by choice.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Carnivor:
I have noticed when you apply a pic to the background using the Pictures and Videos App, wherever the pic is stored WM5 automatically makes a stwater_480_640.jpg and a stwater_640_480.jpg,

I dont quite understand the naming "stwater" as the pic was never called that.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] pneuma:
The files stwater_480_640.jpg and stwater_640_480.jpg suggest to me that the picture is resized and formatted for the today background as a portrait and a landscape view. The ST water (at a guess) denotes that the page has been watermarked or watered down (as per transparency settings when you are applying the image to the today wallpaper).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hoanglong:
hmm that's wierd i dont have that prob with my M5000 backgroun stays the same after many soft resets!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Riceburner:
I've not seen that happen.

ok - now I have. :)

Still have this problem - any other M5000 users have this issue?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Riceburner:
agreed. I think these images are the drop down Start menu backgrounds (??)

the REALLY weird thing about this is that when I do a soft reset and lose my Today wallpaper, the Start Menu RETAINS the wallpaper that I desire!!

Rick GM and I can't be the only people this is happening to!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Riceburner:
Anybody had any more thoughts on this issue?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Riceburner:
I'm still having this issue - haven't found a single answer anywhere - anyone have any ideas???
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] simon_darley:
I didnt have this problem on the original rom, but got the problem on the beta release of the rom.

the final release of the rom didnt have the problem, but i had to install the full extended rom in order to mms and pop.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Riceburner:
I've not upgraded my ROM at all (upgrade the radio but that's it), still on the original ROM version. my unit has always had this issue.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] simon_darley:
try the upgrade, it is likley to be specific to your rom, as mentioned, not many get it. could also be related to what is installed.

I would strongly recommend the released rom for speed, and suspect it will fix this also.

try it before installing anything to test.

if you don't want to upgrade, hard reset and test to ensure reg hacks or apps are not the cause.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cantstandya:
I have been very thankful for CM7.2 and my rooted Droid Incredible. Its been a great phone for me and saved me tons of money by staying a great device to use. However I recently ran into some issues that made me think I needed to do a factory reset, wipe, and reinstall CM 7.2 and google apps.

So I downloaded the CM 7.2 for droid Inc and the gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip file. I did a factory reset from within the phone privacy settings and rebooted into recovery using Rom Manager. I then wipe the data and cache and installed CM 7.2 and then the google apps. After a restart though, the google apps had not installed and I got multiple force closes. In addition, all the google accounts were still saved which I didn't expect since I had done a factory reset and wiped all the data. Even the Wifi passwords were still saved because I didn't have to enter any to access wifi. Some apps were still installed as well like Contacts +. So it seems like something didn't go right with the install.

If I installed gmail, google voice, etc from Google Play store on my phone, then I would get a Package Installer error and it would force close causing the app to not install. I could install apps to my phone using the Google Play store website on a computer. When I restarted my phone though all the newly installed apps would be gone and I would have to install them again. I made sure I was installing them to the phone and not the SD Card as well.

Other things aren't working right either. For instance the adw.launcher home button doesn't take me back to the default home screen. Pushing the button I get haptic feedback but no action for it. No setting for it under "settings" caused any change.

I did clear data on the google play store thinking that would help with the install of the apps but that didn't help either. I still get force close issues.

I am at a loss at this point and not sure what to do next.

couldn't find a thread with this question. thanks!
[HTC One X] sthbr82:
Moto G, One X has reached its end. If you are looking for better software support, you should definitely buy Moto G.
[HTC One X] nogotaclue:
the reason you can't find a thread about it is because comparison threads are not allowed !!
[HTC One X] Thant:
Before one week I read from post on one moderator it is OK to do comparison on phones, but it is not OK to do comparison on the software or roms or anything not hardware related.
[HTC One X] Zyner:
Yes

On the spec sheet you should choose a One X but if you want a more active community and better support you should really go with the Moto G as many developers will buy it cause of the cheap price.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acelius:
Hey there,

I'm suffering from a battery drain on my nexus 5. And i don't know why. but i do know what i did but i can't see the reason why my battery is draining so hard.

A few days back i did a dirty flash of 4.4.2 (stupid me i'm guessing now) and since then i had a massive battery drain. It would not last long, i mean really short.

So i restored a backup of my 4.4 i had left. Before i did that i wiped dalvik and cache. But im still suffering from a drain, esspecially when my screen is on. Before i updated i could get up to 5 hours of screen time with Franco kernel. But now im back at 4.4 backup at 22H of batterry time with only 2H of screen time even with franco kernel. Is this normal or did i mess it up?

could someone tell me how i could fix this?

Thx in advance!

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tman_pl:
Hi,

I am going to unlock my Arc S BL. I read many here, but need some clarifications:

My goal is to have XUHD 5.0.1 with suggested kernel (Lupus). Right now I have XUHD 3 (with mod), phone is rooted (I did it somehow:laugh:). It got slow and buggy after a while, so I need to refresh it totally.

THE PLAN:

1. Unlock BL using SE Bootloader Unlocking v1.6 by quangnhut123 (seems easier for a newbie than "sony" way, not mentioning the test point one).

2. Using the same tool flash LuPuS Kernel Stock.

Now to be confirmed: All I have to do is to enter IMEI and select file LuPuS_anzu_Stock-iCsv16-full.img. Done?

What would I get after that? Shell I turn on the phone as usual (and it is supposed to run as normal, maybe fresh)?

Should I remove my SD card while doing steps 1-2? Is the contentt of the SD card erased after the process?

Gaps - totally new to me - should I do something with them?

3. Flash the ROM. Well I did it earlies and it worked, so I believe when I will get confirmatoion of above I might succeed.

To be confirmed: to "make phone as new" - what pratition should I wipe? I am going to backup everything possible earlier.

I would like to add my own ringtone. How to do that? (I was told it can be done after installing ROM - via CWM - need suggestions...)

Do I miss something? Do I have to check anything before I start (dont want to finish with not working device...)

Any help would be VERY appreciated.

big thanks in advance.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
That is the "sony" way but all the process is done with this app. You lose same features as with the "sony" way.

Put phone into fastboot mode, enter IMEI, then get unlock code, then unlock BL, then select the file and flash the kernel.

You get unlocked bootloader, custom kernel installed. When you have installed the custom kernel, enter Recovery (press Volume Down button many times during kernel boot logo), wipe the necessary partitions (depends on the ROM) and install new ROM.

Not necessary. No SD Data is touched during this process. Unlocking bootloader though does remove all data from your phone inside (not SD), so make backups if necessary.

Gapps stand for Google Apps. They are only required, if you install non-stock based ROM (CyanogenMod aka CM or any other).

For most ROMs, you need to wipe /data, /cache and /system. Non-stock based may require you to not wipe /system.

If it is on your SD card, your phone can find it. Alternatively, you can put it to /system/media/audio/ringtones folder with any file explorer, that can edit system directory (I personally use ES File Explorer).

Seems fine for now, nothing that I can think of.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tman_pl:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, your help is very appreciated. All issues adressed perfectly:highfive:!

I am downloading the tools and backing up data (want to format as much as possible:))..

The reason to put it to device memory instead of card one it that when phone is connected to PC in mass storage mode it switches the default ringtone (phone does not have acces to the card)

Well, I did try copy to devuce filesystem, but I get Read Only file system warning, no files copied. I used ES with root permission. I was told it can be done by flashing, but dont know how to do that..

BIG, BIG thanks for your help
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
Open ES File Explorer, press the Menu button, make sure Root Explorer is turned on, then click on Root Explorer, Mount R/W, make sure /system is set to RW.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tman_pl:
SUPERB, thanks again. Working like a charm.

I backed up all I needed. I started SE Bootloader Unlockin Tool, but after I enter my IMEI and hit Get Unlock Code the text-area where the code should appear chnaged color to light-gray only, and nothing more.

I am running win764 if matters...

Should I proceed as told? (hit unlock BL even if Unlock code is not displayed?

I sould I get the code via http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/, paste it and than proceed?

build is up, 6am in Canada but I wanted to build something extremely stable that will work for ALL PHONES and not carry the bloat of touchwiz, This build is mainly for those phones that just won't play nice on 4.4 atm, I will do whatever it takes to push out good ROMs that EVERYONE can enjoy

remember

To block the OTA use the "ongoing notification blocker" feature in gravity box provided in this ROM to simply block "Google Service Framework" from showing you OTA and simply ignore it, it will never nag you again

Don't worry, Google Service Framework does not show any other notifications but the OTA so you won't be missing ANYTHING else

Thanks for the Rom. I installed with full wipe as instructed in the OP. My phone boots normally but hangs on the notification "unlocking sim card". The Lte connection however seems to work as the indicator shows. I have rebooted the phone a few times but that didn't solve it.

How do the pictures compare to the stock TW camera app?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Danvdh:
The camera is this build uses stock samsung drivers so quality will not be an issue here :) The features of the camera app are not as plentiful as the touchwiz camera but any 3rd party app will work perfectly to solve that if it is a problem, AOSP roms have the camera issues since they use open source drivers

I had until this rom no problem with sim-cards. The sim card will be unlocked in the background but the phone hangs then..
