[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
uninstall unofficial drivers and re install HTC syncmanager with it's drivers.

The recovery works just fine, trust me
[HTC One X] stillsober:
do i need the sync manager or can i get away with just the htc driver? space is kind of a premium (old laptop), never had to use the manager in nexus one and sensation before...since i only need to use the mount usb from recovery (boot loop)
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Just try
[HTC One X] stillsober:
Uninstalling universal, installed just the driver. Exe took like30 minutes to install the drivers(mtp one took forever) but finally able to recognise 1x on laptop. But then bsod before I can move anything

Thanks anyway Mr!
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
What's the problem, and be specific !
[HTC One X] stillsober:
bsod=blue screen of death, don't remember what the error was, but it's definitely caused by the new driver
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Weird, can you try the same on a different pc ?

How can I tell which bootloader I have?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ROMANTiC KiD:
By SE LINUX status in about phone what does it say?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] daniel4653:
Or by booting into download mode.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] beerbq:
It says enforcing sepf_sph-l720_4.3_0010
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] daniel4653:
So you're on MJA or MK2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ROMANTiC KiD:
Then he probably has knox bootloader.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] beerbq:
I used mudavos method to upgrade to mja without the bootloader. But I ran into problems, so Im trying to check what Ive done. The phone works fine. I went into download mode to check if I tripped the knox counter but I couldn't tell because the letters were too small Im old. This is my wifes phone so Im trying to check this when she is not paying attention. I already lost all of her text messages so shes convinced I broke the phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ROMANTiC KiD:
If you dont have the bootloader then only only thing you could do is use odin to either mdc, mdl, or mf9 and start from scratch again. You will lose every data so its the only way to get it properly fixed again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] speeddevil:
I have a jabra bluetooth headset Ive been using for awhile and have had no issues with it what so ever, until I upgraded my phone to 4.3.

After 4.3 after about 2 minutes of talking, nobody can hear me, but I can hear them fine. If I switch the call back to the phones speaker/mic and then back to the bluetooth it will work for another minute, This was extremely frustrating so I completely hard reset the phone and started over. Same deal. Any ideas?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tu3218:
Can anyone recommend an app to stream content from my PC to my S4? Really interested in movies since I have google music for my music. So I'm just looking for a good app to stream movies and videos that I have on my laptop, to my S4 over wifi and 4G. Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidinterest:
How to try this :

copy your movies file into your S4 and install MX Player Pro, and start play your movie with MX Player Pro.

mx player pro support many video format

[General Questions and Answers] jelz2013:
Kindly tell me guys where's the test point of this MTK6589 device. Its galaxy s4 clone. Thanks in advance.
[Moto G General] DaveinAsia:
Just to let you guys know that this is available in the event that you misplace (or lose) your G. I don't know how this compares with the Android Device Manager or whether this is just a repackage of that same functionality, but with the Moto Care website, you just log in with your google ID, and it can help you quickly locate your G for you. I purposely turned off my location access on my G to test this. With the website, it could remotely turn location access on and then, depending on what you want to do next (eg., ring, wipe, etc.,), perform additional services. Just as good, if not better, than what I had access to with my 'find my iPhone' feature from Apple.

Just a heads up!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sipat:
Have recently migrated to WinMobile based PDA phone. Having used various flavours of SmartPhones, I find it disconcerting that I cannot edit the fields in the Contacts Database.

One problem I've had in importing my 600-name database is that most of these contacts have more than one mobile phone, and either only one has come across or the second mobile has been put under work or home (landline) field. This means I can't select one these numbers to send SMS.

Am I missing something or is this the way the Contacts Database is designed?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] simon_darley:
thats the way its designed. the only way i found around it for multiple phone numbers is to have additional contacts setup, eg the Business line and numbers, then each of the representatives as extra, and usually I would just tweak the names to group them similarly in the contact lists.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] kamikilljoy:
I purchased the HTC one from a sprint store. It is the M7_wls hboot 1.44.00. I promptly rooted it by unlocking the bootloader with fastboot and installed TWRP and cyanogenmod 10, since I used and loved cyanogenmod7 for 3 years on my EVO before physical damage and processing inferiority finally made me throw in the towel. It was perfect. beautiful. best device and ROM combo I ever saw. The HTC one and cyanogen 10: a match made in heaven. But then, quite unexpectedly, after allowing the phone to die on a job site one day, it would not take a charge. The good news is that sprint will not attempt to open the phone and so no unrooting was necessary to replace it. In fact they did it there in the store since I was within fourteen days of the original purchase date. No removable battery! It was their contention, and I tend to agree, that it simply became unseated within the case, although I hadn't dropped it. fine. new phone. I once again unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP and cyanogenmod 10. used it for a day (which was quite cold and humid, but I was inside primarily) and the audio stopped working. No music, no in-call audio. While frantically texting customers, I managed to download the nightly cyanogen update and flash it. My in-call audio came back, but ringtones, notifications, music, games and all other possible audio remained null.

I unrooted it by running the RUU in a virtual machine (I use a mac) and, even returned to stock, no sound. In-call audio remained (thank god). I took it in again and after the obligatory sea of clerical errors, sprint ordered me a new one. I really don't want to go through this again. I love the phone, but business is suffering. Is it possible that either of these issues were my fault? I've heard the inside of the M7 is quite convoluted and littered with coaxial cables like older HTCs and I did drop the second one twice. It had a nice case and simply slid out of the angled, inside breast pocket of my coat maybe three feet onto the floor each time. No such occurrence on the first. It makes sense what some are saying that the sound card simply became disconnected inside the case, but now I'm wondering if I'm mussing the root up somehow. My new phone will be here in a few days and I'm simply never going to use Sense 5. I'd rather eat discarded blowpops out of a sandbox. How can I make sure this doesn't happen again? Is it possible that these are both hardware defects and I'm the most unlucky customer ever? I see minimal cases of the latter issue occurring on the stock ROM, but it does happen. Usually it is fixable however. Mine was definitely not. Are these phones as unreliable as they have been for me? They seem to really impress even the picky crowd, so I'm thinking no. Help! Were these really both hardware issues, or did I mess them up?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elvisypi:
Longest post I've ever seen. LOL
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BMP7777:
I would unlock, root, and S-off your new device as soon as you get it, and try something different. CM10 is pretty outdated as it is, and even if you are hesitant to go to a newer version for fear of having a less stable experience, there are plenty of 10.2 ROMs that should be stable. Not only that, but there are numerous stock-based ROMs that will offer a great user experience with the ability to disable sense or remove it completely. RENOVATE is a great choice for that sort of experience. If you are looking to try something new, my latest build of Beanstalk is 4.4.2, CM based, and offers a lot of custom features not found in most other ROMs here at M7SPR. It does have some small bugs here and there, but nothing that impedes your ability to use it as a daily driver. Not pimping my own build, mind you, just offering options. So, give something new a try and hope for the best is my advice. Oh, and try harder not to drop the damn thing. :p

Happy Holidays!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] kamikilljoy:
derp

Yeah, sorry for the verbosity. I think I may have a problem 19th century British dramas.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] kamikilljoy:
hey thanks!

Thanks for the advice!:highfive: Out of curiosity, why do you say to get s-off instead of just HTCdev unlock? Also, I find alot of files that I assume are for the m7wls with m7spr in the title. I don't really not follow most of what people have posted about the different modes and titles, but I gather that as long as the ROM says m7 and is a CDMA version I'm good? I'm going to superglue this new one to my hand. not really. I need to be more careful though. never had a nice phone before.:eek: I would like one that has kitkat... I never had that phase of, "I hope I don't mess my phone up," with the EVO, but I like the one so much that I find I'm apprehensive about ROMs now. For the sake of calming my paranoia, what do you think the likelihood is that either of those issues had to do with CM10? It feels low to me since I unrooted and the problem persisted on the second one. Do you use your kitkat mod? I kinda do want kitkat and I'm such a fan of CM. admittedly partially because I like the color, but still. I like it. Where can I download?

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psriv:
Hi Hygo,

I know based on your comments and from others' reviews that you fixed the Galaxy Tab HDMI output.

However, it is unfortunate that I am not able to repeat the success with my tab.

I am trying this on a GT-P1000 international version, unlocked.

These are the accessories I try with:

ECR-D980BEGSTD ( desktop dock with HDMI output)

ECS-V980BEGSTD ( car windscreen mount)

In stock ROMs, attaching any of the above accessories would trigger an alert. But with your build ( as with official builds), my tab does not make any detection sound. Also, the TV says "no signal". I tried loading the image multiple times .

please help.

Hi, wondering if you guys could help me.

My HTC One is stuck on bootloop. I tried to install a GPE rom with S-ON and now it get's to the first screen of the setup and restarts itself. The problem is the volume keys are defunt therefore I can't get into recovery to flash another rom.

Is there anyway I can force the phone to boot to recovery or to hboot ? I tried to «adb reboot recovery» on boot but with no luck.

Really appriciate any help.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deerxmoose:
HI Guich, thanks for the reply.

I did try what you suggested: shined the flash from another cellphone on the One, at the top where the sensors are, and long pressed power+volume-. If I hold the buttons the phone will just restart endlessly and if I let go of the power button and hold the (defunt) volume- the phone will try to boot as standard.

What would the light do to the phone ? Is it supposed to trigger some of the sensors ?

Thanks!

His intention was to re-verify whether you were pressing the volume down key and not the volume up key. There are no hidden sensors im aware of. if nobody else can give u a solution, the only choice wud b a motherboard replacement frm HTC itself
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guich:
Umh, if you longpress power and vol- it will boot?

Strange.

If you longpress under the light, theoritecally, it have to boot into the bootloader...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deerxmoose:
raghav kapur that's what I trying to avoid (:

Guich it boots because the volume button is broken.

I think my only chance is to, some how, force the phone to get into recovery or hboot whilst booting I just don't know how I could do that without the volume buttons.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deerxmoose:
Just another bit of information.

When I've got the phone connected to the pc, Windows tries to install an MTP device but never gets to finalize the installion because the phone reboots. If I leave the battery flat and then plug it in, with the charging animation on the phone, Windows tries to install an 'unkown device'.

Ah, sorry, my mistake.

If you've a broken vol- you don't have a lot of chance...

It's an unknown device because it don't boot.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elementz2010:
Hello all. I rooted my S3 on Verizon a few months back, but the method I used did not work so I ended up unrooting it and factory resetting it. After that, I noticed that when I went into my setting to check software updates, it freezes for about 4-5 secs and I receive a pop up that says "Unfortunately, SDM has stopped" and since then I cannot figure out how to fix it so I can get the updates. I am now currently rooted and on 4.1.2. Any and all help would be much appreciated, thanks!!

Anyone? I could really use the help here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 0331:
Do you have sdm froze in titanium back up? If so, UN freeze it.

If not. You may have factory reset and/or refresh your rom.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elementz2010:
That's a negative, ghost rider. Titanium says it wasn't frozen, but I froze it and unfroze it anyways and still didn't fix it. Also did a factory reset when I first noticed the problem and today I re-installed the stock rom. Talked to verizon and all they could tell me is that I more than likely need a new phone since it's still under warranty. I mean if I can still get the update using Kies, that's fine. If not... then I might take it in.

Is it possible to uninstall the SDM.apk and reinstall it? If so, do you think that would fix the issue?

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
The Hefe Hook kernel allows you to mount a partition of your microSD as /data, getting 2 GB (or more) for your apps and their data.

Please ask your questions here about installation, use, or general approach.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
This is great [MENTION=3770444]jeffsf[/MENTION] :D and can u show me how to re-partition the "real internal" storage? I mean expanding the /system since u put the /data out of it. Thanks man :p
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Yes, you've hit on another of the reasons I've been exploring using the microSD for "live" storage. It's one thing to use potentially slow storage for photos that you basically write once or "app to SD" where you read the APK at boot time, make sure your ODEX in the Davlik cache is good, then generally read from the internal-flash cache. It is another when that memory is being read and written "constantly" when your phone is running.

The good thing is that once /data is not part of the internal flash filesystem, you don't have to worry about one ROM (kernel) thinking it begins at one place and another saying it starts at another. Previously, if one ROM had one /system size and another and a different one, the next partition, /data, would look to be corrupt when you swapped ROMs.

As a warning, not all users have fast microSD cards. Some that say "Class 10" on them really are dogs, especially for small reads/writes. The "Class" ratings are for sustained writes, as you would have with a camera recording video. If your ROM is "external /data" only, or even defaults to that, be prepared for a slew of "Your ROMs sucks. It is so slow." complaints.

You'll also need a way to automate formatting the card. It can be done on the phone, as long as you aren't trying to preserve any data.

As I recall, the layout of the MTD partitions is done in drivers/mtd/onenand/samsung_galaxys4g.h I would be careful not to move the partition boundary for efs, as you'd have to move the data it contains in your updater script. Repeating the warning about not moving the boot and recovery partitions is probably a good idea as well!

Your build tree may need some of these values, or at least think it needs some of these values. For example, device/samsung/aries-common from the CyanogenMod/cm-11.0 (KitKat) branch calls out NAND page sizes, partition sizes, and flash block sizes. I haven't looked in detail at your build tree so I can't comment on how it might handle things differently than the CyanogenMod one.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
AOKP should be fine. I haven't tried it recently, but it was the tree in which I did the early Hefe Kernel development.

As I understand it, you have a microSD with

partition 1: 4 GB FAT32

partition 2: 4 GB ext3

So that can work, but will need some tweaking of the init-on-fs.sh script. I intentionally didn't use the second partition as so many scripts gobble that up as sd-ext and do who knows what to it.

My first preference would be to reformat the cards, perhaps:

6 GB FAT32

1 MB ext2/3/4 (Yes, 1 MB, a sliver, choice of ext2, ext3, ext4 up to you)

2 GB ext4

since then the script will work without modification and if they install a third-party script that uses the second partition, it won't corrupt their data.

If you were to keep the formatting the way that it is now, you'd need to edit the mount commands in the script to look something like:

/system/xbin/busybox umount /data
/system/xbin/busybox mount -t ext3 -o noatime /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /data

(removing the sd-ext mount)

I'm not sure what your expectations are, but all that the kernel and that script will do is mount a different disk partition on /data -- you need to manually move the data over (or restore from something like Titanium Backup). There may be some trickery in renaming that could be used with TWRP backups to restore from data.yaffs2.win to the new /data partition, but I haven't tried that at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
Hi Jeff

Thanks for your quick reply, and sorry again for not seeing the Q&A thread.

I think making it :

partition 1: 4 GB FAT32 (sdcard)

partition 2: 2 GB ext3 (sd-ext)

partition 3: 2 GB ext3 (data)

partition 4: 1 MB (spare)

would be better and handle data as well. don't you think ?

Would it be worth doing with a "Team" micro-SD card (class 6 I believe) ?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
I haven't tried a Class 6 card, but my gut feeling is that it will be dicey. I didn't "commit" to using /data on microSD until I had tried it for several days using Titanium Backup's ability to move both apps and app data to the external card. I would try that first, especially as the phones in question aren't going to be in your hands (I consider you an expert user, able to manage things outside the UI with ease).

I've attached some testing I did a while ago with Transcend and SanDisk cards. When you look at them, realize that the speed scale changes between them. I have a feeling that the real "performance" on a device is going to be related to relatively small reads and writes, not the ability to stream video to the card. I also don't know much about the Team brand, but I found that even some well-known brands didn't have the performance of the Transcend or SanDisk in the same category.

However you configure your cards, I would definitely recommend a journaling filesystem of some sort. I've had my microSD come loose inside the phone. The journal will at least help to reduce any filesystem corruption should that happen.

You don't need the fourth partition -- I have it there to be able to keep rsync backups for fast ROM swapping.
