I bought it from a customer. They took it to a guy was suppose to unlock it and he broke it. They wanted to sell it and I bought it for 50$ I figured I could fix it.

Would jtag be able to fix it? I have riff box that I rarely use, so I could order the connection for it.

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] DoesntPostAThing:
Hello everyone, since I received my Nexus 5 I have been working on an app that uses the low powered step counter API new in KitKat.

How this is different from most other pedometer apps is that with the hardware step sensor, this app uses almost no additional battery so you can keep it running all day. In my testing I noticed no difference in battery life between a day with Pedometer running and a day without it.

From the Google Play description:

Often times I'm too lazy to carry my Fitbit with me, especially since having it sync to my phone drains battery. With my phone being the pedometer I feel that I've been motivated to be more active.

There is also a pro version you can buy if you'd like to support me. This pro version currently adds a distance counter, so you can see how far you've walked all day. I plan on adding more pro-only features in the future, such as a calorie counter and maybe a widget. But don't worry, the free version will still be perfectly capable of serving as your daily pedometer. If a feature is extremely popular within the pro version I'll consider adding it to the free version as well.

Downloads: Free version, Pro version ($2.99)

I have used only three permissions. One is start on boot. This is used to start counting as soon as you start the device. The other two are write (and therefore read) external storage. This is used solely for the purpose of exporting logs to assist with debugging if the need arises. Don't worry, your data is safe, and this app will not be sending away any of your information.

If you have any questions of suggestions feel free to contact me, I try to respond within the same day.

Gonna give this a go for the next few days. Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Rhatfield25:
Ok just downloaded it. We will see how it compares to my fitbit one for a week
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] DoesntPostAThing:
I'm working on a rather big update, includes more Fitbit-like features such as history and activities. The basic features is about done, gonna make it look nice now and test it some more. Might upload a beta apk and post the Google Play beta link here for anyone interested in testing. I'm hoping to officially release the update in a week or so, so stayed tuned!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] PsychDrummer:
Have you thought about partnering with a rewards company or something? Would be interesting if you could get coupons or discounts from achieving the 10,000 steps or so.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] marleynyc:
Love it!

Hi. I just got my Nexus 5 yesterday. Your app was one of the first I downloaded as I had an S4 and was looking for a low battery pedometer like the S-Health app. Yours looks great, and is pretty accurate (and NO battery drain!). One issue, I had to reboot the phone and when it started again it only showed about half of my steps??... I would love to beta test the app for you. Keep up the good work. (I also would love to have history and be able to see previous days step counts, etc.)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] fiftyclick:
One of my biggest gripes is when driving, all pedometer apps keep counting. There is usually a pause feature or something similar, but it would be ideal if it could detect if you are driving or not. If this is not easily achievable, is there an intent or something else I can use with Tasker to control this app?

Thanks, and it looks really promising!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] hrm5023:
Touchless Control

Good App! thank you for building something like this. I love the statement:

Low powered: Unlike other pedometer apps, this one will not affect your battery life at all.

If its not too much, can you also look into building an app for the always listening/touchless control feature that uses the low powered core? We have another thread with a bounty on this feature.

Har5h
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] DoesntPostAThing:
Detecting if you are driving or not would require GPS or some form of location service, which negates the advantages of using a low powered sensor. In the current version (1.1.2) there is a pause button, but as I'm removing that in 1.2.0 for something else, you could use Tasker to force stop the app to stop counting, and use Tasker to launch the app/quickly go home to start the counting service again.

Sorry, but I don't know a thing about using hardware specific features. I'm actually quite new to programming, this project is the first big thing I made.

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] PsychDrummer:
I don't think it kept counting when I was driving the other day. If it did it didn't count a lot.

Accuracy

Hey, has anybody made a accuracy test?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] maddbomber83:
Any plans to have this push results to something like FitBit or MyFitnessPal?

As for the driving thing, could you add an option for bluetooth device connected?

Example Interface:

Do not count steps if the following device is connected: (check boxes)

- Car Radio

- Headphones

- Phone Radio

- BlueTooth Headset

Do not count steps if plugged into a power source: (pull down)

USB

AC

Any

Disabled

In this way, you could set the device not to count steps if you are in your car (connected to your car radio via blutooth or maybe plugged into a power source).

I would think the power draw of these options would be in line with your design goal of keeping it to a minimum.

I have not used the app very long (pro version), does it keep track of history? An example would be a daily summary of steps/distance.

In this way, manually importing the information into other fitness trackers is easier.

Thank you for your consideration!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] DoesntPostAThing:
What you say about charging and Bluetooth connected should be simple enough to add, I'll see if I can add it. History is also coming in the next version, here's a sneak peek at what I have so far ;)

Of course, your full history will also be viewable and can be exported as CSV, although that part isn't quite done yet.

Thanks for such a simple app. It worked fine for the first day. However, it's not working now. I have restarted phone, still same result. After first day in the night, i press pause button. Next day i pressed play, but it's not counting steps. Do you have any update coming out soon?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] matteventu:
It works, and the UI is "clean" and easy, but the count is not perfetc... can't it be optimized?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] detdett:
It's difficult to differential a person physically shaking the phone versus actual walking. The fitbit series face the same problem as well
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] DoesntPostAThing:
Try force stopping it, clearing data, rebooting, then launch it again and press start. It worked fine for me, not sure why that happened. But yes, I do have an update coming out soon, although I've been very busy lately and haven't had time to work on it.

Fixes to step count will be in next release, but not sure when that will be because as I said, very busy. Hopefully I can get it out before I leave for a band trip early February.

Do you mean it will also count shakes? That's normal, as how it counts by detecting the accelerate/decelerate patterns of walking. It just happens that you can replicate it by shaking. And that's not really a problem of the app specifically, I'm just catching events from when the sensor thinks it detects a step and then displaying that.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Jones_mcfuzz:
Couldnt make it work.. Will try again later tho.. :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] MephHD2:
Same issues with the app picking up steps while driving as others have experienced. 20mile drive this morning, over 3000 steps.

Perhaps a simple logic could be if phone is charging then stop counting.

Other than that app seems pretty good, simple.

Does any one know if there is any way to set the IE to use Goolge as the search engine? Thank you.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
It's possible via a registry tweak, or sometimes (if already configured this way from the factory) in the Settings screen for IE. Unless you have a Samsung phone, though, the registry option is probably not available. Flashing a foreign ROM (one that comes with Google integration) might work, but you also might create more problems.

I switched over to the LG G2 from a Galaxy S4 because of the locked boot loader. I am running the Unofficial CM11 4.4 rom for verizon. the problem is that when i am in my work truck, I listen to streaming music a lot and when people call me i just hit answer and talk thru the car speakers. well i can hear them but they can't hear me. i am using the same cable i had with the GS4 so i know its not that (also tried 2 other ones). any suggestions?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voonli24:
I have the exact same problem but I'm on tmobile, the phone is AT&T branded but unlocked, but I have yet to find any solutions to it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrewM3:
maybe a fix

I am also having this problem and its very frustrating. I use auxilary cable in my car but when calls come in they say they can't hear me even if I put on speaker for the phone then they can barely hear me. An option to look at from my research might be to buy an auxilary cable with a mic. Because when a phone call comes in the phone software looks for a headset since you plugged it in the headphone jack but since there is no mic in your car then it has nowhere to go.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jeremyjoslin:
I've found that after I flashed my 8125 with the iMate ROM that if I use my phone I lose all output from the speaker until I soft reset. Obviously something to do with a release of the audio hardware by the phone system. Any thoughts or others experiencing this? It sucks to have to reset phone after every use of phone.

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zogoibi:
Hello third time for a third question.

I want to flash an updated firmware for a Lumia 925, downloadable via Data Package Manager. But, according to Seidea website, the code description is like this: "059S8F0 RM-892 VAR ES ORANGE SL BLACK". Am I right assuming that this is a "branded" firmware by Orange? If I flash it to my phone, shall I end up with some Orange logo or whatever advertisement, or even bloatware? The thing is, I can't find any code not having some servide provider in its description: Orange, O2, Vodafone, Optus... all of them seem to be "branded" firmwares. Is this assumption right? And if it is, where the **** can I find an unbranded, clean firmware?

In any case, I wouldn't mind to try and flash one of these firmwares if I could first backup the one I have now. But is this possible? Nokia Care Suite is good for flashing ROMs, but I haven't found any option for backing up.

Does anybody have some idea about this?

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aclegg2011:
You can't backup your phone. You can download your current firmware with ncs and use that as your backup. Just make sure to zip up the files in your firmware directory first. Or if you mess up you can always redownload the firmware again using your product code.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zogoibi:
Thanks for your answer. I guess I already got it, anyhow. :)
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DilanChd:
In the "description", if he mentioned Orange, O2, SFR or any operator then this is actually a branded ROM.

If, in the description, there is the CV (Country Variant) reference, then it is a not branded ROM = naked.

Example:

059V276 RM-937 VAR EURO FR CV BLACK => Not branded ROM.

059V2N6 RM-937 VAR EURO FR SFR BLACK SL => Branded ROM.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zogoibi:
Thanks. I guess I already figured that out within the past two days of research. :)

Is anyone living in Mainland China using Chromecast well?

I only can access Youtube and Netflix via VPN, but some of my friends don't want to setup VPN, how can they enjoy Chromecast?
[Google Chromecast] mdamaged:
Move?
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
If they don't use VPN or a DNS abstractor like Unotelly or Unlocator, then any apps that are not available in your country won't work. Likely this includes HBO Go, Netflix, etc. Any apps that pull content from a service that is supported in your country should work, but will only show content for your country (same as using a computer, or possibly more limited).

Chromecast works great two months ago (zh-CN).

But recently, you are not easy to see the chromecast icon in your app (except youtube, netflix).

On TV (chromecast), there is message like "LAN is ready, but internet is not connected."

Without VPN, sometimes, it works OK for media source (e.g.: sohu, youku) with y2cast.

I could use chromecast yesterday without VPN.
[Google Chromecast] wylie99:
HI,

Yes, these days my Chromecast says it's connected to the network but does NOT have internet access.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whozethere1:
My grand daughter was gifted the Kurio Touch 4S (QVC) with andriod version 4.2.2. Long story short, the parental password was forgotten so the device had to be rebooted to factory condition. The problem is with the Kurio, this strips it of all the many preloaded apps. I have tried to download the required recovery file from: After the first download the zip file was found to be corrupted. When I contacted live chat, the tech told me the site would be down for 1-2 days and to try back. No notices would be posted. When I tried back, the chat "supervisor" denied any site problems, but with my otherwise fast internet is taking longer than ever to download the file. He was quite rude even for a chat window. This signals there have been tons of problems with this product/support. I came here because I used to be active when I had a windows mobile phone. Unfortunately, I do not recall that name or sign in so I cannot post the link for the download for this device.

Could/would someone be able to share a site other than Kurio with the recovery file?

I am trying to build omnirom 4.4 for the Nexus 4 (Mako) however I get to extracting the proprietary blobs and I get this error:

bash: ./extract-files.sh: No such file or directory

When I look in the folders I don't find that file in the mako directory however when I look in the directory for my TF300T I do find that file.

Am I doing something wrong when trying to set up the directory for Mako?
[Omni Q&A] Pons:
No, Omni doesn't have that file for the mako. You can either download the files elsewhere, create the file yourself (and feel free to submit to Gerrit), or find a github that's setup with proprietary files and add it to your local_manifest (this is my recommendation). I'd add DonkeyCoyote or TheMuppets to your local manifest, that way when you repo sync, it says up to date, and you don't have to find the updated files yourself.

Granted, this is all off the top of my head while laying in bed on tapatalk, so I apologize for being brief. If you need further assistance, let me know which part you didn't get, and I'll try to answer in more depth in the morning (about 12 hours).
