[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtsm888:
This was apparently true for the Meenova device.....http://www.meenova.com/st/p/m3r.html#devList. But then today a new updated post that reads:

Moto X and Moto G Running Android 4.4

Android 4.4 KitKat update disables external USB storage access on both Moto X and Moto G. You now need to use a third party App to access the Meenova reader (or any other external card readers or USB sticks). Though now you don't need root privilege to write to USB storage on Moto G. We tested and verified the following options, all Apps available from Play Store:

Use App "Nexus Media Importer".

Use App "OTG Disk Explorer".

Use App "Total Commander" (free) and "USB Stick Plugin" (not free).

Install both Apps.

Plug-in the microSD card reader.

Start up "Total Commander" and it will show "USB Stick Plugin" as an option.

Select the "USB Stick Plugin".

If it works, let us all know. :)

First off, null_ is amazing - f0mey is definitely getting a fee beers :) Thank you for freeing me from Gear Manager.

My issue: when adding widgets to Widgetlocker I get a "Settings has stopped" error. I can only add the widget that come with Widgetlocker successfully. Adding widgets to Nova is no problem. I have tried making nova a system app as suggested in another thread to no avail. I believe other people have used WL successfully.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] ober0n:
I had my phone rooted and unlocked with freegee. I have had many roms on the phone and nfc worked great. I flashed a couple of the 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 roms and never had a problem with nfc working. Google wallet did not work and isis would refuse to install. Even with the xposed trick. So I went back to my trusty nocturnal rom and everything worked great. Then I seen that isis updated and now says it supports kit kat. So I flashed psx 4.4.2 12/31 and the att nfc fix. At that point I was unable to turn on nfc. I flashed back to nocturnal from a back up and same thing, nfc would not turn on. I did a wipe and a reflash and same thing. Even did a lgnpst using and same thing. So I went and got a new phone under warrenty. rooted unlocked and reflashed psx and same thing happened. I attached a logcat in the hopes someone can help me out.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] emepher:
Hmm, not sure if this is any help, but I am running PSX 12/2 build and I can confirm that NFC is working. Never tried Isis though.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ober0n:
Its so strange, and I figure out how this happened twice. I could just return this phone but I don't think it's a hardware issue and flashing back to stock should have fixed any software issues

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] iPusak Gaoq™:
well then, if you always sync but suddenly its now working any more then just clear data on contact and contact storage...reboot then try to sync again...if its still doesn't work then using gmail export you contact to your pc (use vcard format) then transfer the vcard to your phone and import all vcard to you contact...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackwolf183:
Hello,

I have a galaxy tab gtp1000 that was running a stock rom. Now, when i turn it on, it doesn't boot into the os anymore! it gets stuck on the android boot logo. the computer recognizes it in adb devices, but it is still stuck on the logo. i can't get it to boot in download mode to flash any other rom via odin.

i tried the "adb reboot recovery" command but the tab reboots in normal mode and comes back to the same android logo, and does NOT boot into download mode !!

any thoughts on how to make boot into download mode so i can reflash the rom? or is it possible to just make it boot normally again, if so how ??

Please i need help.. i spent the last 4 hours trying to figure something out ! ...

any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jmcl:
I am pretty much dissapointed with the pictures I have obtained with my Universal's built in camera.

Sometimes - most of the times - dont really beleive it is a 1.3 MPixels cam.

So,

1. Do you think using another software to take pictures would improve performance/quality?

2. It is possible to use another software to manage the camera?

3. Maybe, it's just me not being able to use it properly. Any advice to get good quality pictures?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Carnivor:
have you checked the pictures on your pc?

i thought this until i looked on the pc and they were actually pretty impressive, dont be fooled my the on screen preview after youve taken a pic
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jmcl:
yes... checked them out on a PC.. but no good quality. The problem is that if you're taking good quality pictures.. the it must be me.. :?

Anyway I recon that good pictures can be obtained under good conditions (light, etc.), but indoors... no way, at least for me.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] thanas:
i've seen on my HTC wizard that in the registery the camera can be edited things like bitrate too, havent tried it yet.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] StevenAFC:
Ive gone from a D500 to this. Both 1.3 megapixel cameras, but the images from the samsung are far larger and far better quality. The images I get from my XDA are terrible.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jmcl:
maybe -hope so - it's just the software.

Could the camera be used with another soft? maybe from another WM5 device.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
HTC has used extremely cheap and low quality camera sensors :-( Theres not much you can expect from its camera....so i guess its wise to accept the fact and move on :S

There are tons of dead pixels, and fails to reproduce the colors accurately...its just a "i have a cam on my phone too" feature, and nothing of any practical use!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ninja12innotts:
Took some pictures yesterday for first time on Universal, on top of a hospital roof, sun shining.

So as normally happens in those situations you can not see what you are taking properly due to the screen contrast etc. in the sun. ( same on all camera phones I have had )

Just used the standard settings, didnt change anything, have just downloaded them onto the PC and I am quite impressed with the quality.

On par if not better than some of the camera phones I have had in the past.

Just checked settings and I was on 640 x 480 capture size and ambience auto.

So for me a thumbs up to the quality from a camera phone.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jmcl:
share one of those beautiful pics... :D

wanna check if it's just me..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] siezear:
Perhaps a silly question - but have you made sure your camera settings are at 2M (1200x1600) to take your photos. The exec defaults to a much smaller size.

cheers
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jmcl:
hehe, yes.. thanks. :D

I'm just saying that quality doesnt fit in in a 1.3 Mpixels camera, my POV.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jamfitz86:
The camera is useless imho. sometimes its good to catch stupid pics of people who have parked terribly or funny signs on petrol station doors but all in all they would have been best just leaving it out.

The only solution is to get a decent camera.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] richardlai:
I'm an amateur photographer (with the lovely Nikon D50), and no doubt the Universal's picture quality is not very good. However, I see it as a bonus add-on for the Universal rather than a proper feature. Say, I don't carry the Nikon D50 into my lessons at school all the time (until recently, when we had our very last lessons at school for the rest of my life!); with the Universal I was able to quickly take pictures of my classmates sleeping in our maths lessons or film our chemistry teacher burning jelly babies (they literally scream and burn when they react with some solution!).

Anyway, my conclusion is that the camera on the Universal is good for quick snaps, but not good for family portraits. :wink:

PS: HTC, come on, you call yourselves "High Tech Computer Corporation" and you can't even manage a tiny camera?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] richardlai:
Whilst on the topic, yesterday I tried to take pictures of a beautiful wheat field in the sun, but the picture I got was just a very dark image, no matter where the sun was relative to the lens. Changing the settings to "Sunlight" or "Automatic" did not help either.

Very disappointed, and you don't often get this lovely weather in the UK! :(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mdaexecfan:
To the OP, there's no easy way to say it: the camera is crap, like 99.99% of all mobile phone cameras. The CCD they use are cheap as dirt, and unless you're experiencing optimum conditions (such as bright, bright sunshine outdoors), there's no way you'll ever take any decent pic with this phone regardless of the software.

Glad I could clear that up! :twisted:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Bagmanstu:
It does not seem that bad to me,

settings = 2M(1600x1280) and daylight

I have not resized the pic , so sorry if it runs off screen :wink:

This is just before my ride to Turkey and back from UK

Exactly - it's a phone/PDA with a free camera, not a camera with a phone/PDA... Miracles you will not get! :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nipeng:
The quality is acceptable to me but getting the best result is sometimes difficult. My major problem the handling, choosing the right settings for the occasion is a bit awkward.

@Bagmanstu: Cool :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] richardlai:
Well, some people have paid good money for this phone (not me; I got it off ebay for 240 pounds!), so one might expect a good camera on the phone. But I agree: I would never use my phone camera unless I need to take a picture urgently - like taking some quick snaps with my teachers before I leave school forever. ;)

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] AbouRock:
Hey guys, I have this problem and it is really annoying me and it is very serious.

I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus GT-I9105 (android version 4.2.2) and only a few hours ago, my Google Account showed "Can't Sync" and "Sync will be back shortly" type of messages. As a result, I couldn't sync contacts, access Google+ and couldn't open Google Play even if there was Wi-Fi.

Also note that every other account like Dropbox, Evernote, Whatsapp and Viber etc work and I am even able to browse the web on the Chrome app. Also the internet connection in my home is working okay.

I searched for solutions and some people said to remove and add my Google account again. I removed my account and after that I couldn't add it again.

Any help please. thanks a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Brian_SGW_CM9:
do a factory reset of your phone first

then try logging in

if not, flash another firmware would 100% fix the problem

thanks a lot but no other way to fix it without factory reset and loosing everything ?

[Droid Ultra General] Summersett:
The fix that I used was found in the "Who's gonna leak the Soak Test?" thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48813998

I recommend reading the other posts in that topic (after the "fix" reply) to see what other uses had to do and what did or didn't work for them. I had to do all steps, including all of the fastboot stuff, to get mine to work, but it did retain all data. Good luck!
[Droid Ultra General] Kickbut101:
just had this issue, go ahead and place the 4.4 ota on your root again and flash it through your recovery menu. Just like you did to get 4.4 originally. You won't lose any files but it will fix your system data which right now is goofed up.

[HTC Desire S] chorba69:
Hello everyone. I have one question.

I used to watch movies online long time ago on my DS.

What I need now is, a browser that supports flash and java, and ROM that supports flash and java.

I'm currently using Endymion because it's smoothest ROM for gaming but I want to change now and find a rom that supports flash+java. I tried with AOSP roms, 4.1. roms but still can't watch the movies.

The website where I wanna watch movies is www.filmovizija.com .

Please note that I was able to watch movies on that website long time ago on my DS. Just I can not remember which ROM supports flash and java.

Does anyone know maybe which ROM or browser supports flash and java? Because that website requires flash, java and wm player. I have the wm player, sometimes flash but I cant get it all three to work.

Thanks in advance and happy holidays

Btw, i have this version installed TPH-I9195XXUAMH2-20130902095747 with root. This firmware don't have the knox flag in download mode yet, maybe because it is a older firmware... Do you know if i install a newer version in the meantime (an updated version of stock) via ODIN the knox flag will change? Or only if i flash something via ODIN after the updated firmware?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] ValenteL:
If You flash by Odin one Knox Rom from MJ7, the first, the flag stay at 0x0. Only change to 0x1 if we flash something more by Odin, like a Customer Recovery. After flash this recovery, when go to it by Power + Home + Vol-Up we see on top in yellow the message "Set Warranty bit: Recovery".

Whit the Knox Bootloader all is controlled whit this bootloader, kernel, modem, recovery, system... If we replace a modem we see on top at boot "Set Warranty bit: modem".

And we can't downgrade to an older firmware. The Knox bootloader installed not permit.

See my try on Galaxy Mega. I have the Knox Rom ML1 and tried to flash the older Rom not Knox MJ2. Many problems. Returned to ML1.

Hi all,

i9195, XXUBML4, Installed CWM_6.0.4.6_touch_recovery and from CWM installed UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.89.zip.

Super-SU asked to disable KNOX at first run, and all looks ok, Root checker confirm i got root, su in terminal working, etc.

But, su in adb shell refusing to work:

Can someone please point me to right direction with this problem ?

[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] mwice:
I installed UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.89.zip from CWM. No further steps was done, so i believe Superuser.apk installed to /system/app,

as we can see in META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary from that zip.

Once again, any root apps i try on device getting root permissions np. Including su in terminal app.

SU ask me to give permission, etc.

su in adb shell just do nothing but return exit code '1'. No request for permission on screen, nothing.

I would ask in SuperSU original topic, but i dont have posts enough to write there...

Thanks for reply.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] ValenteL:
From the .zip UPDATE-..., folder commom copy the superuser.apk to sdcard. Touch on it and You have the option Install. Touch on install and the superuser is installed on data/app like eu.chainfire.supersu-x.apk. Reboot and sometimes the SuperSU from here work better (Whit the Knox).

MY NEW GUIDE IN OP TO ROOT:

For now is easiest for me to root the S4 Mini I9195. I have now installed the XXUBNB1 Rom working well. I made this:

1- If I want make a clean install I wipe data + cache + dalvik before. But usually I flash over /data from Rom before. Work well.

2- Flash the Rom by Odin3 v3.09 - Reboot.

3- Power off and on Odin I flash the Customer Recovery philz_touch_6.12.8_serranoltexx.tar.md5 from HERE. Reboot.

4- Power off and Power + Home + Vol up to go to new Recovery. When appear the yellow line on screen we must pull up the finger from Power, but stay another two finger's until appear the Recovery.

4- On Recovery I flash the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.80. On 4.2.2 we must begin always whit this version in my opinion. I update after by a SuperSU-v1.93 I have on extSdCard (Or from Play Store). Reboot.

5- I touch on icon SuperSU to invalidate the Knox and update SU in case v1.93.

6- I install the Sterycson Busybox from apk I have, or from Play Store. After download it, I touch on icon to install the Busybox on /system/xbin.

Now, root alright. To confirm I use Root Verifier from M. Kambur (Play Store).

7- To delete all Knox appl I flash by recovery the Debloat-V5-Knox attached, from spitya. Thanks [MENTION=3027165]spitya[/MENTION].

It's all. I have my S4 Mini I9195 rooted, whit a good Recovery and working well.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] George_gi:

[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] ValenteL:
Yes. Sure. If You want can unroot on SuperSU but not need.

If You are in 4.2.2 to upgrade to 4.4.2 Kitkat (or to 4.3) You must delete all, wipe data + cache (+ dalvik).

Make a backup from Your apps to install after. Create a folder on external Sdcard like /data-app. If You have Root, copy all .apk from /data/app to that folder. After install Kitkat You can install Your apps. On that folder touch on each one and install it, You have the install option on all.
