[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninasmith:
It was not doing ANYTHING. Would not light up or anything. Would not go into recovery or download screens. I tried holding the buttons forever. It would not do anything. Plugged it into the computer. Nothing. Plugged it into the wall. Nothing. I took it back to Verizon and hope they don't figure it out. They exchanged it. I'll just stick with the Verizon bloatware I guess. I really wanted CM on it, since that's what I use on my phone.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -SAM-:
Oh it was hard bricked but dont worry they fix it jtag or replace it. Remember never play with boot.img cos its to risky.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kt-Froggy:
Hmm... I didn't think CM was even available for this tab -- is it? Anyway, if you have to leave it on stock, you can still root it and get rid of the bloatware (VZW or 3rd-party). Just use apps like Titanium Backup, SystemCleanup or similar to uninstall or freeze (disable) the apps or services you don't need. You can also use some tools to control the app startup and receivers (ROM Manager can do that, as well as some Xposed modules). Basically, even on stock, as long as you are rooted, you still have a fair bit of control over your environment. And speaking of Xposed, look it up -- it's a great framework with a bunch of modules for all kinds of customizations.

Anyway... Just saying that it's not all that bad. You may not get CM on your device, but you can tweak and mod it quite a bit, to your better liking. :)

Phone just arrived!!! woooooooooooooooooooooot

quick question... havent turned it on yet, just have it plugged to the wall and charging. but I noticd the LED light isnt on at all... no colour... im used to all my phones having an LED light on when charging.

when I tap the power button, it shows me that it's charging (a white battery that fills up animation)...

is this normal? dont care much, but would just be good to know for the future...

thanks! tried looking, but dont see an answer
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rikudo:
It's normal. Apps such as lightflow can enable a charging light but there is no stock charging notification light.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biscuitownz:
Why didn't you just turn it on and use it? No need to charge the battery prior to usage.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soulfly3:

DYING to use it lol
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvelasquez87:

just finished setting it up to my liking...... UNREALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL phone. wow. ****s all over my S3.

so glad I made the switch. couldnt be happier so far.

dont wanna start another thread, but maybe someone can answer this... i get a little "clicking" sounds when i back out of programs etc... how do I turn that off? looked everywhere... haptic is off, but I want all the sounds off, except for the necessary ones.

thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charesa39:
It's in Settings, under Sounds. Make sure the box next to "Touch Sounds" is unchecked.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soulfly3:
my god... I mustve tapped it twice, cuz it was turned on - even tho i turned it off.

thanks man lol
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charesa39:
No worries. Anytime. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kieranjones24:
There is no stock charging light unless you download an app like lightflow.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipTD:
Do you happen to know if Lightflow enables a change in color from red to green upon the phone being fully charged? Thanks

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
Ledblinker definitely does
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 95Z28:
You should be able to as there is a separate setting for"charged". Just set charging to red and charged to green.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charesa39:
Yes it can. This is exactly what I do with Light Flow on my N5. There are three different settings for "low battery", "charging" and "fully charged". So I have it blink red rapidly when battery hits 15%. Then, I have it solid yellow when charging. Finally, when it hits 100%, it changes from solid yellow to solid green to let me know when it's done charging. It works flawlessly. Obviously, you can set whatever color you want for these different settings.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GGWC808:
Lightflow is pretty awesome. You can have different LED colors for different notifications from various apps and control their pulse rate. Paid version lets you customize for 3rd party apps.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvelasquez87:
So has anyone done any research to figure what the battery drain, if any at all, is caused by the LED. Curiosity got the best of me and i had to ask.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GGWC808:
I don't think the LED causes any noticeable battery drain. They use extremely low amounts of electricity.

Guys, the about 2 months ago i changed the T-Mobile Rom to Imate Rom. it wroked well, but lately, wen i start any program, the device keeps restarting. Can you suggest me anything.

I am thinking about changing the Imate rom to a Qtek or to a O2 Rom. If you support my idea, can you please give me the links where is described how to do that.

Thank you
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Ruud Westerhout:
Hi dimushor,

if it is 2 months since your change from T-Mobile to iMate, I guess that iMate is not the reason for your problems, instead something what was done with the device in the meantime. I do not think that changing to any other ROM might solve the problem, I think a hard-reset will do the trick just as well.

If You want to change to another ROM, just use the way You did when changing to iMate in the first place.

What ROM is best is discussed here a lot, guess You can try the new iMate, it should be really faster.

[General Questions and Answers] inderkarans:
Hello!

I wanted to install this custom rom to my Xperia S LT26i ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2222540 ) and now am stuck at rooting.

I unlocked the bootloader successfully but after that am supposed to set custom recovery like Clockworkmod and for that i tried RecoverX tool.. I set the recovery for my device and then it downloads, but the main issue starts at installing the recovery where it always shows error #4. I found out about it and it says that there's no busybox installed in my device and when I installed it via playstore, I tried all the versions available but none of them would install stating an error and try for another version. And also, I found out that there's no bin folder in my phone containing SU file. I don't know what exactly is SU and how & when to gain the access to it.

In short: 1. How to install busybox?

2. How to gain access to SU?

3. How to set custom recovery?

4. And after all the above are sorted, how to get that custom rom in my device?

P.S.: You guys might have guess with my questions that am a first timer as well as have no knowledge of these things. So, please explain me in the most simple language coz i dont understand these technical terms. Thanks :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onyxbits:
I just published v1.0 of a text adventure interpreter (sideload url - for those who don't have access to google play). Here is a screenshot of the main user interface:

My problem now is that I got a few control features in it, that you might stumble upon by accident, but from which it is not immediatly obvious that they exist at all. These controls are not vital, but make life a lot more compfortable. To list them:

You can swipe the message area left/right to get to the status screen (same as pressing the "flip view" button)

touching a word in a chatbubble will automatically copy it to the input prompt. Double tapping empty space will clear the input prompt

The icons in the lower bar are "speeddials" and fully customizeable. You open the editor by long pressing the icon.

In itself, those controls are pretty sane as they allow you to do things fast. They are what a power user would want to be there, but how do I explain their existence/usage to the casual user? My first idea naturally was to put that in the FAQ, but who reads docs these days? The next idea I had was to simply pop up a messagedialog when the user first comes into the vicinity of a control (e.g. touching a speeddial pops up an alert dialog telling the user how to edit it). Personally, I hate "nanny dialogs" and could see that as a reason to uninstall. Next idea was to display a toast but showing a timed message somehow seems like the wrong approach. Final idea was to push instructions to the notification bar. Not as disruptive as a dialog, but a lot of people seem to care religiously about the notification tray to be empty.

So ... any good ideas on the matter?

Or should I just flash retail UK to be safe:confused:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidrenjenkins:
Hi. I haven't been able to find anything on this topic. I have an N7105 Galaxy Note II that I bought from an AT&T customer. The only problem is that I am using it on TMobile. (It is officially unlocked from AT&T, etc.) The problem now comes in upgrading to 4.3. TMobile uses Kies, but Kies only wants to upgrade me to 4.1.2, which I am already on (build JZO54K.1317UCAMH3). AT&T only updates OTA. When I check for OTA update it says it is checking AT&T's servers, but I am not so sure as it never finds anything. I think it is checking TMobile servers which aren't set up for OTA or don't recognize my phone type.

Also, I went into Best Buy to the Samsung rep, and they flashed my phone with their program and put a wonderful new version of 4.1.2 over my old one (nothing changed).

I am looking for solutions that will work for my phone to get 4.3, where I can get Galaxy Gear support, the photosphere camera, spen, etc.

My first question is, if I can find a TMOBILE Rom, will it work on my AT&T Note II (similar phone, but not the same? I have the N7105). (I would like TMobile goodies on there instead of AT&T. Any custom ROMs support that?)

Second, does the AT&T build (if I can find one) work with Gear well and does the photosphere camera work well? The Samsung rep said AT&T did not work with gear well presently on Note II and I read somewhere else where the camera was not working.

Any custom ROMS I should look at that would work on my phone and get me GEAR, SPEN, PHOTOSPHERE etc? I can't seem to find that.

Any suggestions or directions I should look would well be appreciated. Thank you!

David
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightfly2000:
check your model number

N7105 "officially unlocked" by AT&T? LOL, funny...you SURE its a 7105? If it is, then you still have to wait, as they havent released 4.3 for North America yet as far as i know...well they did but then pulled it right away.

if you want all that extra samsung stuff to work you need to go with a touchwiz based 4.3 custom rom. It hasnt been released yet,so ergo, its not available for developers to make a custom rom out of it (stateside anyway)

sounds like keis is working fine, bc the 7105 is the UNLOCKED LTE North American version VERSION, the 7100 is the international version without LTE, and they are diffrent.

and you actually WANT T-MOBILE bloat ware? put this in the googler " Tmobile applications apk. good luck with that bc no one ever want to bundle "branded APKs" but then you say "instead of AT&Ts, are you implying that its already on there? and you went to Best Buy? they put it on a machine?

your best bet is to just sell that thing and buy a note 3 outright, doesnt sound like you need try and flash/root stuff.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidrenjenkins:
Thanks. I was just so tired of using an AT&T phone on TMobile, I thought some of the related programs might be nice, but I see your point. They do have the upgrade for AT&T now, but I am told it is sucking battery life something fierce. Per your suggestion, I am looking for a good Note 3. Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] froggie873:
Can anyone help please

I have a HTC Desire Z purchased originally in Lithuania, the previous owners have somehow SLCD Bricked the phone. The phone is in excellent condition and I would love to save it. I have read threads that suggest that I have to make a Gold Card form the country of origin and make of the phone, being in the UK this is not an option for me.

Does anyone know how I can save this phone please ( and if possible giving instructions understanding that I am unable to see the screen), I have access to a computer and have Android SDK (and Fastboot installed), I also have the HTC driver installed on my computer, but neither the Adb Devices nor Fastbook list the devices when connected to the computer.

Many thanks in advance for those who have read this and can give advice

SLCD Brick

Thank you for your response, from what I understand an SLCD bricked phone is one that someone has tried to upgrade to another version of Android system which is not compatible with a SLCD Screen but for an AMOLED one http://androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/226723-unbricking-slcd-bricked-desire-howto.html one and there for the phone will not switch the screen on, the phone in general works (receives phone signal and rings).

The only way to restore the phone is to create a Goldcard from the country of origin (and same make) as I am unable to create a gold card from the phone as SDK or Fastboot (from the computer) do not list device, and I am unable to switch the phone into debugging mode as cannot see screen to operate menu system.

Basically I need to create a Goldcard somehow for the country of origin (Lithuania) and find a HTC__032 ruu compatible for the HTC Desire Z.

Again many thanks for helping
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Oh got ya, but unfortunately I don't believe there is any amoled firmware options for the desire z so if incompatible firmware was flashed you would have just a regular brick. But if everything on your phone is working besides the screen I would assume its a hardware fault and you are looking for a new LCD or main flex cable to repair it. But if you want to look for stock firmware in the above link there is another link on returning to stock where nipqer has uploaded some stock options. As you said these may not work in fastboot mode without a goldcard but feel free to try, phone does not need to have debugging on to be recognized by computer in fastboot, you just need the drivers

Now i know what I would have to do: Press Vol - to get the the little Android-Icon in the middle and press Vol+. Now this doesn´t worl anymore. Is there any other way to get out of this? My tf700 is rooted and unlocked.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] askpcguy:
Standard troubleshooting applies. Try another USB port. Do not use a USB HUB. Try another computer. With the phone connected look in Windows Device Manager and resolve any problems such as devices listed with a Yellow mark. Try uninstalling the Samsung USB drivers and try reinstalling. Put the phone in download mode and connect the USB cable with Odin open, sometimes that will work.

I keep wanting to think you just need the update.zip for ClockworkMod Recovery, reboot to recovery and install Update.zip twice to get into CWM then flash the rooted kernel.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] razz2525:
I cannot figure out how to get Nandroid Manager to work or ROM Manager for that matter to get a snapshot of my phone. I used the SD card method of rooting my Galaxy S4 (AT&T/I337) so all is good there. I am using Titanium Backup for my app data/settings/SMS logs, etc., but if I have to do another wipe/factory reset, I don't want to have to rebuild my phone again from scratch with all of my app settings, my launcher settings, and so on. I had thought I was backing up all the while using DropSync and I couldn't restore anything from that app or the external SD card for some reason.

I do not think I have either ClockWorkMod installed but I do have TWRP which I found out was automatically installed when I rooted (?). I realized too late of course (after reading these forums) that I shouldn't have even tried flashing the CWM but quite honestly I was trying to do 2 things - use the S4 as a USB Mass Storage device and backup my phone using Nandroid Manager or ROM Manager. I read that I needed to have CWM installed in order to do either. Is this misinformation?

The biggest problem I have with Nandroid Manager is that it seems to be backing up to nowhere. It's default backup location is /mnt/. When I tried to change the path to my ClockWorkMod folder (that I have on the internal SD), it said "This is not a valid ClockWork Mod folder." It also asks me to find the TWRP folder but I can't find that one either using ES File Explorer search.

I just want a snapshot of my phone so that if it goes squirrely, I hit a button and it's all back. Is this unrealistic with the MF3?

And btw, I can't use the SafeStrap method because my phone has to be encrypted since I use it for work email. It's one of the requirements by the company. I read that I should avoid SS for now.

I already have an official flip case ordered. suppose to arrive today. I was just curious so figured I'd give it a go and see how it looked. it does look like a bowling ball haha..

the pic doesn't really do it justice tbh.. suffice to say, if someone wants to change their moto colour I think they would get good results with proper prep and a decent spray paint.. this was mostly an experiment..
[Moto G General] ares93:
Yeah, the idea definitely has potential, and kudos to you for having the guts to pull it off, but this isnt a diy job if you want perfecfion. You need proper equipent and training. Someone who's decent with an airbrush could do wonders with this thing. Luckily i know a guy.
[Moto G General] AwesomeTurtle:
Yeah. An evenly sanded, then evenly sprayed cover can look just as good, if not better, than the original I imagine. I do want to thank you for giving me that idea. I might actually try something like this in that beautiful metallic orange color I often see on newer Nissan vehicles.
[Moto G General] danger2u:
maybe the paint is not the one at very high quality

but the idea is good

btw this look not very good
[Moto G General] helppme:
yea its not the best colour and finish. some plastics are more or less porous. Some will not 'take' paint well at all, so however well it is done, it will chip and peel. I was interested in seeing how well a properly keyed surface would take the paint. The Moto G back case seems to take the paint very well, with no need for a primer.

Issues:

The colours I had available weren't great, hence the strange green bowling ball look

The paint does not dry very hard (I don't have a heat lamp to fast dry it hard)

The finish isn't very even (brush as no space here to spray)

However:

If I had:

A heat lamp:

Space to spray

Time

You could easily get an extremely good finish and it would be tough and durable too. None of these items are expensive and anyone could do it, but you do need a good workspace or you will get dust sticking while drying etc etc..

Easier to buy a new back, but if you want a custom colour this is the only option..
