[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] AarSyl:
My bad. I never asked which launcher. I assumed that this was in reference to the GEL Launcher.

To the OP, why not use Apex or Nova launcher? It looks EXACTLY the same until you customize it, and it allows you to manage your screens. For that matter, I don't recall if the default launcher ever mellowed you to manage your screens since it's introduction in ICS.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] iainaaldrich:
I'm not a noob and have tried everything I can think of - hooking my phone up to my pc via odin and adb with zero results. Tried plugging on my phone overnight, etc etc.

My problem - I was at work and took a photo with the camera app, the camera crashed, then I opened the gallery. I went to reboot my phone and nothing happens. Now when I try to power on the phone, nothing happens. I do a battery pull and then put the battery back in and it boots up for no more than 3 seconds to the Samsung logo and then turns off. If I try booting into recovery, same thing - just turns off and the same situation if I try to boot into download mode. Has anyone encountered this problem? Note that I am running a custom recovery - Philz CWM. I fear the worst; my phone is perma bricked.

edit; FIXED - Faulty power button. Power button will stay in and not pop out without prying at it.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DehoXeD:
Hi everybody,

I want to share with you all what I've found to fix my problem :

MY PROBLEM

: I had to repair my phone with Bluetooth devices (carkit/headset) EVERY times Bluetooth was reboot (phone reboot or bluetooth off/on)

What I was thinking was an Android 4.3 problem (thanks to Google to confort poeple on what they think :-p).

The reality :

I formated /persist /firmware and there is a folder inside usefull to remeber bluetooth pairs (New feature from CWM --> Who did not tried it and got bootloop??? ;) )​

So here is the solution :

THIS IS NOT MY SOLUTION --> I FOUND IT HERE --> DON'T FORGET TO THANKS THE RIGHT GUY (A BIG BIG THANKS TO Gigadroid FOR HIS POST)

Original post​

So, here is what you have to do to fix Bluetooth pairing memory,

Using your fingers and an explorer (with root):

- In /persist directory : Create a directory callled "bluetooth".

- Inside this directory, create a new file named .bdaddr (don't miss the dot!)

- Edit the file and put 6 random characters in it. Even better, if you can do this in a hex editor and put 6 random bytes, not just printable characters.

- Set permissions :

1) Set "execute" and "read" for everybody on /persist/bluetooth directory

2) Change owner of .bdaddr to bluetooth:bluetooth (owner:group) and permission to Read / Write for owner and group (and nothing else).

Using command line : (I never use it, so not tested)

chown root:root /persist/bluetooth

chmod 755 /persist/bluetooth

chown bluetooth:bluetooth /persist/bluetooth/.bdaddr

chmod 660 /persist/bluetooth/.bdaddr

After that, your Bluetooth device won't be forgotten (if i can call it like that) by your android device (for the last time or until next ROM flash ;) )
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRealLifeboy:
Where is /persist?

Where is this /persist folder? I have searched my whole phone with "find / -name persist" in a terminal as root and nothing is found?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DehoXeD:
Soz for late answer, I hope you've find answer by youself.

If not, just use a Root explorer (I'm using ES explorer with root rights and it works well)

Go in Explorer --> Go in root folder (named " / ")

Then you'll find the "persist" folder inside, go in and create the new folder said in OP.

In case where there where not this "persist" folder in "/" folder, just create it

I recommend doing all this from phone (and not from windows), especialy for create the ".bdaddr" file.

Hope you'll use BT again in peace^^

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRealLifeboy:
What if /persist doesn't survive a reboot?

I have created the directory now and set the permissions and ownership, but when I restart Android, the directory is gone. Any idea how I can make the change stick and survive the reboot?

Thanks again!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DehoXeD:
Hey. Its surely late (f**** quote not seen :-p)

All I van say is that you maybe forgot to give your explorer all root rights.

Btw, be more explicit, which folder tour created?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRealLifeboy:
This is what I did: (as you wrote up above)

Go in Explorer --> Go in root folder (named " / ")

Then you'll find the "persist" folder inside, go in and create the new folder said in OP.

In case where there where not this "persist" folder in "/" folder, just create it

I recommend doing all this from phone (and not from windows), especialy for create the ".bdaddr" file.

I didn't have a /persist folder so I created it. My phone is rooted, so I did it as root.

Fortunately I don't even have "windows"; did it all from my phone.

The directory is there, but when I reboot, it's gone :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DehoXeD:
And what is your phone?

And your problem is that your BT devices arent memorized by your phone?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRealLifeboy:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" (P1000) running Cyanogenmod 11 M12.

Not just that, they disconnect pretty soon after receiving of making a call. Then it's hard to get them to connect again. The headset (Hybrid BT) works fine on a Blackberry and Galaxy SII.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DehoXeD:
Hmm, sounds different from what was my initial bug.

The problem was that when I disconnected my BT device from my phone, when I was trying to connect it back (by clicking on the list of BT devices), the phone had to launch "paring" whenever the device was already known.

Btw, I had Zero prob when they were connected as you have.

So it's not the same problem.

I think your problem is CM11 related (As samsung hasn't release official 4.4, it may stay drivers bugs...)

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] urbanninja17102:
I will try and be a thourough as possible. I could really use soem help.

I bought an HTC One from AT&T in July, in October I dropped AT&T and moved to Walmart Family Mobile T-Mobile. I was told that I needed to unlock the phone so that I could use it on the new network. I did unlock the phone and it worked great! I started to play around with the phone since it was unlocked and rooted and ended up chaning from stock to Google Play Edition. I never made a back up of the Stock (Mistake 1) and so I have just used the Google Play Edition but yesterday, I decided that I wanted to go back to stock for awhile and I followed a bunch of videos on how to unroot and relock your HTC One and thought I was doing a great job.

I relocked it and the device shows it as "Relocked", I then tried to open the RUU for it, but since I use Ubuntu, I could not open it. I looked for a way to open a ".exe" in Linux and found that I could load 'Wine' and it should work.....it did not! I am not sure how I can add the stock RUU now, nor do I know how to unlock it again and start over and I am fearful that it is now a large paperweight! All it does is load into Bootloader! No matter what I do.

So to recap:

HTC One (Bought via AT&T)

Now used on the Walmart Family via T-Mobile

I downloaded the RUU for Cingular (based on what I have read and watched, that is the only file for At&T) "RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_Cingular_US_1.26.502.12_Radio_4A.14.3250.13_10.33.1150.01_release_318450_signed_2.exe"

My phone is relocked and it won't get out of the "bootloader" menu and I am pretty sure that once I relocked it, the old OS went away and since I have no other OP, I might have lost a great phone.

Oh and I am using Ubuntu on my laptop

Any help would rock!

Bad Battery Life

Hi

Yes, I have noticed a dramatic drop in battery life. I use to get home from work about 6pm with about 50% battery life. Now by 2pm I'm less than 10%.

No Bluetooth. No GPS. No NFC (this was originally on when getting to 6pm). WiFi on. WiFi Off. Doesn't matter. Turned location services to battery save or off. No new apps.

I have converted runtime to ART (worth having a read up on this), which can potentially give up to 20-30% better battery.

The funny thing is at home with full WiFi and strong 3G reception the battery life is exceptional! 2-3 days standby (light/medium use). The 3G reception at work.

A friend suggested that possibly the radio (3G) isn't locking on to a specific tower and keeps bouncing between towers chewing up the battery.

I will try a factory reset and see if it fixes the problem. From what I've been able to discover online it doesn't seem to be a very common problem.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metal72:
Same Here

My girlfriend is having the same problem with battery drain.

GPS is off and she's using Wi-Fi at home.

When Google rolled Kit Kat OTAs I had to wipe her phone and flash the official Mako factory images to actually get it updated. So the phone isn't rooted and It's completely stock now. The 4.4.2 OTA update installed just fine. Then she noticed the poor battery life. Android system and Android OS are the 2 highest battery users in the list (will try to get a screenshot of this later)

Is the factory reset working for any one?

Has a reinstall of the factory images fixed this?

Any other suggestions?

Just wanted to ask everyone before I spent a bunch of time on it.

Thanks so much!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jclake:
factory reset doesn't resolve

I did a factory reset and the issue still exists. I have removed 1/3 of my apps, 80% of the photos on my phone. I tried running Bluetooth off 100% of the time. Turned off location reporting. Turned off syncing any Google service I wan't using. None of these helped. My problem is intermittent. I will make a change then go a couple of days thinking "problem solved," then on the third day massive battery drain reoccurs. I think the battery monitor in the OS is unreliable when this occurs becasue it will report an app like "Flixter" as the main source of the drain. The next time it will be mediaserver, or TV Guide.

Thanks for that note! I know my gf uses the weather channel app. Will tell her to remove it.

On a similar note. Now a few months later now and her battery wont hold a charge for more than 2 hours and wont charge to 100% every time. Her phone is only a year old. luckily she called google 2 days before the 1 year warranty was up. They sent instructions on safe mode and some other tips. Hopefully she'll end up with a new battery and i'll make sure shes not using weather channel haha.

Edit-And upto what I remember. Removing a preference from settings.apk mainsetting.xml didn't make it fc
[Java for Android App Development] Wooaarr:
Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunatly just removing it from the *.xml will cause a fc. I think the system trys to call the preference and as it won't be defined, causing a "Javalang nullPointer exception".

The app is of course available as a source, which would make it very easy to remove the preference in java.

preferenceScreen.removePreference((ListPreference) findPreference("*********"));

Then again i don't have the appropriate tools at hand and not unlimited bandwidth to download them.

Hence my question if somebody knows how to do it in smali.

Take care

Hi,

I am looking for a good maps or navigation software that would allow me to find my way around cities in europe

without

the use of a GPS receiver. So in other words - I would like a nav or maps software that would replace a comprehensive map book.

So far - I am very happy with Map & Guide - Top Cities Amsterdam.

http://www.itreviews.co.uk/software/s223.htm

It allows you to find a street in Amsterdam, displays the map, allows you to plan your route and traces the route on the map. The map scrolls very nicely with the drag of the stylus - overall an excellent piece of software - with just one complaint - it's only Amsterdam and does not cover other smaller cities.

TomTom does not work if you don't have a bluetooth GPS receiver - so you can't just use TOMTOM like an electronic map.

Microsoft Streets and trips does work - however it's interface and display are very outdated and it's street search function is also not very good.

Any program out there that may do the job?
