I also have some stylus problems...

my first kill: the big plastic part at the back broke clean off when i dropped it onto the street

I injured one, but it came back to life: the big plastic part at the back came out of the aluminium part of the stylus, i glued it back in and seems fine again.

Today i found bought a dead one...: i bought a set of replacements, and one of them is missing the tip of the stylus...

So i agree, they should have been built a bit better than this...

I vien to make desimlock my xperia Z1 but the bootloadeur and always NO. I would want to know that it is necessary to make or if there is a solution .
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicolas2b:
desimlcok and bootloader unlock are 2 differents things. The first one is about your provider, the second one about your phone. The provider can forbid the UB, but can not (in France) forbid the desimlock. If the param is set to no, there is no solution to unlock the BL

French version

Les deux sont differents : desimlocker permet de changer d'operateur et deverouiller le bootloader de maniper le telephone. le desimlockage est prevu par la loi, mais l'operateur peut interdire le deverouillage du BL. Si c'est à NO, alors il n'y a pas de solution.
[General Questions and Answers] eco_bach:
I have been trying for days now to achieve proper 'kiosk' mode on a Nexus5 running kitkat.

I am 90% of the way there using this solution

http://thebitplague.wordpress.com/2013/04/05/kiosk-mode-on-the-nexus-7/

The above solution works with one caveat> the top status bar(with battery, wifi icons, etc) is auto hidden but is still viewable on a vertical swipe from the top.

So, as a solution I want to disable swipe gestures

Is there an easy way to do this in Android?

so... i had a little dust underneath my screen and there was some space between screen and housing of my phone (sorry didnt know how to say case from phone so i said housing) . so i send my phone to lg and i have to pay 375 euro.... and my screen isnt even damaged so if u ever have a broken button or gap in the housing of the phone be prepared to pay 300+ ;/ waited a week for nothing and have to pay 40 euro for sending my phone and getting it back :/:(

(For songs I even changed my rom!)

And todaya new problem arised. Play store can download apps but can't install them. Error 961.

Help me figure out this issue. ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
First factory reset, remove external sd card and test. If still the same then flash full stock rom with odin and factory reset again.

If still faulty then you have hardware fault.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghtm:
hi,

I tried upgrading my tf300t from cm10.1 to cm10.2 . after a few failed attempts during which I am not exectly sure what I did wrong i got the device into a condition in which it only boots directly into CWM v6.0.2.3 without any option to do anything else. pressing power+volume down does not stop it from directly booting into recovery.

inside the recovery it says:

"E:Can't mount / cache/recovery/command/

E:Can't mount / cache/recovery/log/

E:Can't open / cache/recovery/log/

E:Can't mount / cache/recovery/last_log/

E:Can't open / cache/recovery/last_log/",

and i cannot mount any partition on the device. trying to access it from fastboot\adb has not been successful.

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks a lot,

guy
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghtm:
I now recall that at some point after trying to flash cm10.2 didn't work I tried flashing the offical asus firmware blob. after that the device successfully booted but when I tried to return to the recovery mode I still could not mount the /data partition. after that I tried some more flashing which brought me to the current situation.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghtm:
new development -

after installing the universal naked driver i was able to boot into the boot loader using adb and I even can boot the device to the os, though no change when inside the recovery mode. if the device reboots it automatically goes into recovery and to reboot it I have to use adb again.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
Flash the updated stock ROM again via fastboot to reset it back to stock. then flash the correct TWRP and then flash the CM 10.2 ROM you wanted.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghtm:
how do i flash a rom using fastboot?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
like this:

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-restore-asus-transformer-tf300t-back-to-stock/

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghtm:
I've tried that and the device does not seem to be responding to the idea. in fact I dont think it gets anything I've tried to flash at all. the files do transfer but do not seem to install. after starting a flash with fastboot the device stops responding.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghtm:
plus, the bootloader screen does not show the usb icon at all. I am flashing when the device is in the bootloader.

at the bootloader screen there is a message: "key driver not found"
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
OK you said it can boot into Android though. Use terminal emulator to install the TWRP and then flash the stock ROM from inside TWRP. Just make sure the TWRP matches your bootloader.

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:51 PM ----------

That means you are on the 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 bootloader. That bootloader doesnt have a USB icon, it goes directly to fastboot if it is detected and that is completely normal.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghtm:
it says permission denied (cause i do not have root access?)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
Oh i thought you still had CM10.1 on it. Can you flash ROMs from that CWM or is the /data thing messing it up.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghtm:
the /data prevents me from accessing anything on the sdcard so i cant flash anything from inside the recovery itself.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghtm:
so, after doing as the guy in this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2425581 says, I managed to make the device successfully reboot to the os by default and even make it reinstall the stock rom and than twrp recovery. the problem no is when entering recovery, it asks for a password which i do not know. when choosing cancel it gets me in but now it displays:

"E: unable to find partition size for /misc

E: unable to find partition size for /staging

E: unable to find partition size for /data

E: unable to find partition size for /recovery

E: unable to find partition size for /boot

E: unable to mount /cache

E: unable to mount /cache

E:TWFunc::copy_log -- cant open destination log file: /cache/recovery/log

E:unable to set emmc bootloader message

when trying to install a different rom the recovery mode fails to access the internal/external sdcard.

thanks in advance,

guy
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
that means you probably flashed the wrong version of TWRP. Are you on the stock 10.6.1.8 or on a later version of bootloader? Those are different.

stock rom version 10.6.1.27.5 (build number JOP40D.US_epad-10.6.1.27.5-20130902)

are those not compatible?

Dear All,

I desperate need of help here. Sorry if I may sound Noob on this topic. I have international LG G2 (D802) - Rooted with custom recovery TWRP.

I'm not able install some custom roms based on Android 4.4.+ with error msg stating....

1. Error executing updater binary in zip

2. Status 7 . installation abort.

I did google on this subject and tried every single method from editing the binary file upto switching over the recovery (from TWRP to CWM) but still the problem exist

My guess is...... it may occur due to unlocked bootloader............. I don't know the status of my bootloader.......... just need help in unlocking the bootloader....

I had a similar issue with Google Sound Search installing from the play store on my Atrix HD. What I did was installed it on my sister's RAZR, pulled the apk from the data>app directory and placed it in the data>app directory on my Atrix HD. I then set permissions to rw-r--r-- and rebooted. It was then installed when my phone came back up. If you have the apk you can try sticking it in data>app and setting the proper permissions, then rebooting. You will need root for this.

[Nexus 5 General] TjPhysicist:
Not sure if this deserves a separate thread, but just noticed that if i completely block the actual speaker (one on the side) with my finger the sound ends or (or seems to end up) coming out from the earpiece instead. If this is intentional, that is SO cool, can anyone verify?
[Nexus 5 General] crookx:
How is it cool? I hate it especially when playing a game lol

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] jbdan:
I don't think this is the case. Once the bottom left speaker holes are blocked the music just radiates from the phone in general, not one specific point like the ear piece speaker. Maybe the headphone jack adds to what you're hearing?

NX5
[Nexus 5 General] Mr. Sprinkles:
Not intentional. You're just hearing it resonate throughout the phone, as jbdan said.

Not sure how it would detect such an event, but it wouldn't be such a bad idea to reroute audio to the earpiece speaker if the bottom speaker is blocked. Sometimes my bottom speaker gets blocked if the phone sits at just the right angle in my tylt charger, I'm afraid I won't hear my alarm one of these days.

Lol, that would be such a random feature.

Don't palm it? Hold it with your fingers maybe?

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] deepthought_s:
It was much more comfortable to just put one finger on each side lying on the phone and with the thumbs on the lower side than holding it with your fingertips.
[Nexus 5 General] _jordan_:
I wouldn't purposefully block the speaker. The speaker in our device is pretty cheap, and I'm sure the added pressure from blocking the holes might damage it, and decrease the sound quality even more.
[Nexus 5 General] marleyfan61:
Blocking the speaker grill holes is not going to do any damage to anything

My "flip it over" comment earlier was serious. If you flip it over it places the speaker on the top left and you are less likely to block it. There was a tongue-in-cheek thread about this a while ago, but despite all the silly comments it is the easiest way to solve the blocked speaker problem.
[Nexus 5 General] Damian2013:
I don't get why everyone says the speaker is bad. It's as good if not better than my nexus 4 was. That was about on par with my note 1. Do you guys expect boom sound or something?
[Nexus 5 General] sainthalo:
It should have had front facing speakers like the HTC one. That's what we want, right?

Wow! I love it. Super slick, super fast. I like the customization options that are in there (battery style/colour, date colour/format), hoping that as the Carbon KK rom matures there will be even more options, like for the rest of the statusbar, boot animation, etc. I'd love a battery bar on the top like MIUI/Viper but I guess that's all up to the carbon team.
