[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flopped:
Hi friends,

I wanted to be very sure before I tried anything stupid and end up bricking my phone.. I hope you will find time to answer some of these questions..:fingers-crossed:

Is it safe to factory reset a rooted HTC One M7?

If it was safe, do I need to do anything special like factory reset it from TWRP (what?:eek:) or just hit the Back Up and Reset option in the Settings of the phone?

Will I lose my root access?

Appreciate your time! :victory:

Much respect,

flopped
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
Factory reset from backup reset will fail because you don't have stock recovery

Factory reset in TWRP deletes the /data partition

make a backup first just in case.

If you want a true wipe factory reset you need a RUU (ROM Update Utility)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XVDI:
When I was transferring a few files on my I9500, I've noticed that I've lost at least half of my device storage.

When I go to settings -> Storage it says total space 8.80GB and available 3.75GB. I'm pretty sure I have the 16GB international model Galaxy S4.

Any clues? :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XVDI:
Anyone..? :/
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RamRaja:
Has to be min 16GB

The S4 only comes in 16/ 32/ 64 GB Variants so you definately have at least the 16... You probably transferred more than you think because system files are not even nearly that big. Look at your device settings -> Storeage: Internal storeage, and take a screen shot and resport back if the contents dont add up.

[General Questions and Answers] LichtorWright:
(PLEASE read everything before posting a reply.)

Hey everyone. This is my first time posting here. I know it's a pain in the rear.. don't dwell :p

I have a Samsung Galaxy Proclaim (SCH-s720c) and I've been trying to port ANY rom to this device. I'm very new to porting, but I pick up on things quickly.

I've tried several different roms and every one results in the same thing: I power on the device.. it gets to the Samsung logo, then reboots.

No boot animation, nothing. It's failing before Android actually gets started, so, logcat is out of the question. I tried running logcat in Recovery but it only shows 3 messages, and nothing helpful.

I've got a backup of my stock rom, and I can restore it fine. As soon as I restore, it boots back up, so there's nothing wrong there.. It's just the port.

I'm using AreaRom as the stock because I haven't found a stock flashable zip for this device yet. For the port rom, I've used two versions of Slimbean, and two versions of CM7.

If anyone has any idea how I can even get information about what's failing, that would be great. Any help at all is appreciated. Thanks in advance :fingers-crossed:

(Edit: After changing the base rom.. I've at least gotten to the Android boot screen.. It's still stuck in a boot loop for now, but at least it's trying to boot)

Does anyone have any ideas to help me out? Let me know if I need to provide more info.

I would like to customize the HTCTodayscreen.dll (I have the T-Mobile NL customised version of it)

I managed to get it out of the cab (along with the needed registry items)

I have put this all into a new cab.

If I put in the original HTCTodayscreen.dll (with the T-Mobile customisations) the plugin is shown on the Todayscreen (and can be (de)selected in settings/today)

If I put in a hacked (with resource hacker) version of HTCTodayscreen.dll it would not even show up in the settings/today screen, let alone the todayscreen itself.

Did I miss something?

(off course i could use a today launcher like tdlaunch, claunch or ilauncher, but I am just trying)

Hi,

I guess the file is protected somehow, I had the same problem until I found this file. I guess it's from another HTC phone and this one can be edited.

Have fun with it.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] edsub:
Using the file above I created three HTCTodayScreen plugins. HTCTodayScreen has the advantage of a very small memory footprint (30-40k) but it has the disadvantage of only being editable with a Resource Hacker.

All three plugins are particularly useful for users in The Netherlands, because it incorporates FlitsNav that in itself links to the online flitsservice.nl database for up-to-date (mobile!)speedcamera poi files for TomTom.

Version 1

-Internet

-Contacts

-Messaging

-FlitsNav (the online speedcamera collector from flitsservice.nl that works together with TomTom)

-TomTom Navigator

Version 2

-Internet

-Contacts

-SIM Toolkit (useful if youre using a modern Dual SIM adaptor that switches SIMs via the STK app)

-FlitsNav (the online speedcamera collector from flitsservice.nl that works together with TomTom)

-TomTom Navigator

Version 3

-Internet

-Contacts

-GSM Radio toggle (useful if youre using a simple Dual SIM adapter that switches SIMs via off/on switching of GSM radio)

-FlitsNav (the online speedcamera collector from flitsservice.nl that works together with TomTom)

-TomTom Navigator

Note:

- All versions need to have FlitsNav and TomTom installed in their default locations (in memory, not storage)

- Version 2 needs to have the STK.exe installed in \windows

- Version 3 needs to have the Radio.exe installed in \windows

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] kalopop:
I have the international version of the Huawei Mediapad (non-rooted). Since yesterday I see only an emergency calls screen and there's no way to unlock the device, to enter PIN or to open the Notification drawer.

The storage is not accesible via adb so I can't even backup the tablet. Same story with the PC-Suite. :eek:

I removed the SIM-card but the problem still exists. When I re-enter it the PIN-unlock screen comes up. I enter the numbers and guess what?! The old emergency calls screen.

I can't submit screenshots because I can't access the internal memory.

What should I do to render the device usable again?

[Moto X Q&A] veritas2884:
I have Google Play Music All Access and a premium Slacker Radio Account.

This happens whether I default Google Now to Google Music or Slacker

When I request it to play a song using "Ok Google Now" it shuffles the artists album rather than playing the specific song. It does this in Google Play music as well as Slacker depending on which I set the Google now Default to.

Examples:

I say "Play Rolling the Deep" and it will launch Google Now and say "Playing Rolling in the Deep by Adele" then google music will launch and it will just shuffle her album rather than playing the song.

or

Same thing happened when I tested "Sympathy for the Devil" it just played a random Rolling Stones Song, even though google now said "Playing Sympathy for the Devil by The Rolling Stones"

Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is one of the reasons I wanted the touchless controls of this phone!

I think qi charging overrides USB charging, but it could be the other way around. Either way, the phone knows to deactivate one.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt3:
According to the battery monitor, wired charging (USB or A/C) overrides wireless charging. So, if you plug it in, it doesn't matter if you place it on the wireless charger or not.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cirkustanz:
I seem to recall someone at Google (on one of their product QA's for this phone) that even though it makes logical sense for the AC charger to take precedence (faster, less heat generation) but the QI charger is the one actually doing the charger.

I realize this contradicts what the battery status would indicate, but it is plausible that the indicator does not report it correctly.

Either way, the only time I can really see this being a factor for me even REMOTELY, is in the extremely rare event I have the phone plugged into my computer via USB, and sitting on my qi charger. But that almost never happens, I sync data to/from the phone over wifi just because, well, it's easier. It's not faster, but since it happens automatically it takes less effort. :)

In that case, I'd actually prefer the qi charger to work, since it's a faster charge than my USB port.

imagine the hilarity if both charging circuits worked though...sounds good in theory but I think we'd all have broken phones
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xybur:
I've plugged in my USB cable (hooked up to my computer via USB 3.0), while my phone was sitting on my Qi charger (nokia, 750mah), and the usb cable takes priority over the charge.

When wireless charging is in effect, you hear the NFC tone from the phone. Also the light on the charger turns on when its charging. It doesn't play when you lay a phone with USB plugged in, and the light doesn't turn on in front of the charger, so.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marleyfan61:
I'm pretty sure this would disrupt the space-time continuum.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt3:
I can confirm that while setting on the wireless charger, the "charging" light is on on the charger, but if I plug the cable in, the light goes out. The wired charger is DEFINITELY overriding the wireless charger.

For people using OTG cables or external storage adapters on the microUSB slot they do require wireless charging to work while being "plugged in".

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydeah:
Today I had to restart my phone because it dropped data connection, the moment I restarted it said my phone was being updated and I should wait, it wasted my time and it shoved 10o update down my throat.

If I had recovery installed, this could have been disastrous, no?

Not only for recovery related problems, but this may also prevent people from being able to install certain things, or even one day in the future with a different update just block root?

How do we uninstall then disable OTA updates on an unrooted phone? When I disabled and cancelled notifications for Software Update app, I thought it was fixed, but it probably made it worse, it just installed without any notification or prompt.

I was planning to root and install twrp this weekend, now with all the horror stories I've been reading, I don't want to do it. :crying:

How is AT&T even allowed to push it without explicit permit to install on device.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydeah:
Well, it would still help to avoid further OTA's from being applied if we are rooted and do not use custom rom, there is always a risk of getting OTA and messing everything up, therefore if freezing above app worked for you, it should be all we need. Is Software Update the actual app which checks for version and receives pushes from AT&T when a new OTA is available, or if there are other apps/modules that does this. The problem is, if it is incorporated into android system like some of the other stuff AT&T incorporated, it would be impossible to completely eliminate it without running a custom rom.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjsimmons:
So, I have a question for you guys. I got my phone yesterday and I'm on 10o. I installed the CWM recovery for 10o via Flashify, and now I'm concerned about OTAs - I disabled it via the Hidden Menu, but if there's an OTA to update the phone to 4.3 or 4.4, I'd like to receive it and not worry about bricking my phone.

I don't plan on doing a lot of custom ROM flashing, I really just wanted to root and install Xposed. Do I need to flash a stock ROM and go back to stock recovery, so I don't have to worry about OTAs? Or should I be good with CWM and the stock ROM that I rooted?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] autoprime:
in my opinion i think ppl that wanna stay on a stock based rom (but rooted) should wait for devs to build custom stock roms that are flashable thru custom recovery(twrp/cwm).

pretty sure loki will be patched in 4.4... which is gonna be a mess for ppl who take official OTA.

are there other options? sure. but currently the way i suggested will have the least hassle.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjsimmons:
Alright, so. Yeah. I guess I could just only flash stock-based ROMs. Hadn't really considered that. Used to using Nexus devices, where I just did whatever, whenever. I'll avoid the OTAs then. ;)

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
No root or no ROM? -- If no root, then it'll ask you to install it via TWRP (My HTC done this also) -- No ROM would mean it wouldn't boot into anything just the Samsung bootloop.

It's OK to install superSU via TWRP btw. The ROM may not have come Pre-Rooted or you chose the UnRooted version.
