Hey!

I just rooted my device. Yeah its litle strange soft, but its doing hes job. ;) Its changed my status in download mode to"system status: custom".

I fixed this by "wanam exposed", there is settings to but system in "fake status: official" and is fixing this. I am sure if I flash stock rom, then is NO problems and everything is LEGAL status(your warranty is OK).

I am in 4.2.2 and I waiting for modifications like kernel and custom roms to take my baby to max.

Anyway, nice job for kingo app!

Hi evryone. I've been reading this forum a long time, but it's now when I decide to write you. First, thanks in advance for your answers. I tell you my doubt:

I've acquired recently a v1640 and as I've been able to check the prestablished rom by vodafone does not fit my expectations. Well, my problem begins when I decide to upgrade the rom. Here when I start sweating, praying and even crying... And all because I'm unaware of the required information to solve this. As I have read and document myself, I should do the following:

1. Maybe it's appropiate making a rom backup with a program called aWizard (which I don't even know if it will work on my ppc)

2. I've decided choosing a rom provided by imate in its public ftp. The rom is JASJAR_WWE_13076_164_10900_wwe_ship, which I'm not sure enough if it will work either, due to the diversity of opinions about.

3. Once I decide to upgrade it, I should do it with a program called MaUpgradeUt, that it will do the task in about 30 minutes, provided the stars line up and I win twice the lottery...

As I have said before, thanks to evryone who can give me support on this topic.

My LG L5 E612 is V20E by default.. I am afraid to unlock the bootloader and install CWM manually because I once experienced random reboots after doing that previosuly.. So to get CWM recovery I just flashed a V20d+root+CWM through KDZ Updater. I just noticed though that after I flash another version of KDZ (ex. V20A or V20D) that is different from my V20E default, I noticed that the backlight of the phone is dimmer? I mean on these different KDZ versions 75% brightness was just like the 25% on my stock rom V20E. Has anyone else noticed this too?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cysioland:
I haven't noticed this, though on V20d 50% was like similar to 100%.

Maybe ROM developers messed up with brightness controls between versions.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drfr:
Chose last option - battery suddenly dropped to 1% the moment I pulled USB cable out of PC. I wonder if it could be PC-related, because during over a month I own the device, this never happened either on my home or work PC, both are double-boots W7/Linux and I usually connect to them couple of times each day. The only time it happened was on my friend's PC to which I connected only this one instance and sadly I won't have oppurtunity to come back to any soon to try to reproduce. I only remember it was some windows, probably 7, maybe even Vista - ask no more, it was New Year's Eve ! ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Amelia2006:
I did some search, but could not find a thread. Please forgive me if I missed something.

I got a MK2 S4 recently, rooted it use saferoot. Then enabled tethering. But today I somehow read a thread about "nobloat free". So I installed it, disabled some apps like "ATT navigator" etc. I guess, I disabled something I should not. So when I reboot the phone, I got a unlock icon (the initial B/W screen) and "custom" under it. Then it would stuck on ATT logo.

I entered recovery mode, did factory reset, it still shows "custom", but finally, it start to initialize the phone. I could setup items such as language, wifi, google acct etc. But eventually it would say failed to initialize the phone. The short press of home button won't work, I could not get the home page with widgets. But I can pull down the info page, enter settings from there. I can receive the phone call, can change some settings there, long press for multi-tasking works, but that's it.

I tried Kies, but it says I am running a custom firmware and I cannot initialize and reinstall firmware from there.

If I can launch noBloat Free, then I can enable those I disabled...

[update]

Hi, Thanks for replies! I did managed to go to google search, searched play store from there, then installed "noBloat Free" and enabled those I disabled before. Then rebooted. It works fine now. Thanks a lot!

Please help and thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Mekanikz:
Download Android Commander. Entering the settings from the pull down, enable developer mode by going to about phone and tapping on build a couple times. Enable debugging. Then go to security and enable unknown sources. Get the apk for the app you need, connect your phone to your pc and install the app to your phone using Android Commander.

Otherwise I guess you could just re-flash the stock rom?

From what I've found, whatever music player is currently running on your device at the time, the media controls on the Gear will control it,

Not for me. Just tried it on Google Music and it turned on the stock music player and started playing from the first song in my files.

Same experience here.

It works when the player is actually playing something. If you pause then when you unpause it will use whatever default player you have, but it will work as long as you don't stop playing. Switching songs will work tho
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dkb218:
You have to make sure that the player you want to control is the only one active on your device. If you just listened to Google All Access and want to control Poweramp, make sure All Access is closed all the way.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] tony yayo:
I only use google. Never used any of the other players.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Garethmyles:
Not anymore

I used to be able to control Google Play Music from the media controller however, after a firmware update at the end of Jan it no longer works. If I try to skip track it opens the Samsung music player and starts playing that. Annoying as this was one of the functions I really wanted, skip tracks whilst walking without having to dig your device out.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MMcCraryNJ:
I'm thinking LG and the carrier partners will soon abandon software support for the G2. There are rumors that the G3 is almost ready for market, with the fact that everyone is watching what Samsung is doing the GS5, LG might do an early release. The AT&T model of the G2 has CarrierIQ onboard and actively collecting data. I would say that's otherwise not too big of an issue, but from what I'm reading there's a pretty serious battery drain flaw with how CIQ operates the GPS in the phone. Plus other issues which I think will take awhile to be sorted out.

The G2 is a really nice device that failed to find an audience and will suffer support-wise as a result.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aygriffith:
No shock there, the LG G Pro AT&T model had Carrier IQ and it would ping the GPS constantly. Heaven forbid you were inside out of satellite view, it would just run your GPS ragged trying to get a lock. Oh and LG not releasing any software updates is the norm. Ask any G Pro or Optimus G owners.

I installed Freegee, then installed CWM. When I did the volume down plus power to boot into recover, it sent me to a screen that says "do want to hard factory reset?" (it has the word "rooted" in the top left corner). So no booting into recovery... So I decide to install ROM manager (It says I didnt have cwm installed though? so I clicked install...) So I boot into recovery from it, and make a backup.

My problem is I STILL cannot boot into recovery from the powered off state. So now I want to install TWRP to see if that changes things.

Can I install it through Rom manager/Freegee? Or will this screw things up? All I want is a backup in case things go wrong.....

Im rooted on the latest verizon OTA
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicamarcel1:
Ok by removing rom manager clearing its data you will remove the recovery images that rom manager created for you. You will still have the recovery that rom manager created until you uninstall it.

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 PM ----------

And i will say not to use rom maneger to install recovery images since it might brick your phone.... unless you have read that some other users have done it or at least you know how to use adb to push file that you might need later. Why do I say this because rom maneger its a rom manager not a recovery changer which it have very little support on but use rom tool box to go to recovery to make your back up.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Zealex:
Hello,

My brother gave me his old BOSE OE2i's and they're nice but the volume up and down buttons do not work because they're originally designed for the iphone and from my understanding apple uses a different pin layout of their 3.5mm connectors. I would love to be able to use the volume up and down buttons, as well as the microphone. The only working button is the middle play/pause/skip button.

FiiO LU2 Cable is the only thing I've found so far but apparently it doesn't make the volume up and down buttons work so that's a pass.... I know you can solder the cable but I don't want to really risk damaging the cable. If anyone knows of any iphone to galaxy s3 headset converters please let me know!

Thanks,

Zealex.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] artur3004:
If the headset was originally made for iphone then you can forget it, the volume up/down signal from a certificated/original headset are different as from for example the i9300 original headset. the original headset from the S3 is not even working on a lg smartphone.

and for this no adapters exist
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ForeverTroll:
I am using too a Bose AE2I with my S3. You can work around this issue with a software as Headset Button .

When you push the central button of the Bose 4 times, the sound starts from low level and increase progressively. You select the volume by pushing the button once again.

This is not perfect by its ok for my usage as sometime I also simply use the s3 volume up and down button.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Zealex:
Bummer that such a converter exists, thanks for the replies guys! Blows that there aren't any headphones that can use the volume controls on the s3... :/

try this:

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SleemLDJ:
Hi guys. I've noticed ever since I got the Xperia z1 that the Xperia home launcher acts weird after quitting certain applications.

When I exit an application to go to the homescreen, all apps shortcuts and widgets would have disappeared and would then begin to load up after 2 seconds. Which sucks of a phone with such a highest spec.

Is this a ram issue which isn't keeping the home launcher in RAM memory?

The redraw could be a problem in the Sony launcher it self, I had the same problem with Action Launcher, but now is solved.

The way Android uses RAM, the free ram doesn't mean anything, to get a better performance avoiding to compile an app you use very often, Android keeps recent opened apps in RAM as long as the RAM is not needed, when something else claims the RAM Android will "close" some apps to free RAM.

hey guys. i dirty flashed aokp from cm and got into bootloop ( :/) i couldnt wipe data because i really needed my apps and didnt have a fast internet atm. so i went to recovery, pluged the phone on my pc.on the pc i opened a cmd prompt and typed adb shell.

once on the shell i typed cd data/da*

then i was on /data/dalvik-cache directory.

i typed ls and it showed some dex files.

all of them were system@framework@package.dex

except for one (system@priv-app@com.android.settings-provider.dex

then i typed cd ..

(so it gone to data)

then typed cd data (so it gone to /data/data)

typed

rm com.android.provider.settings/*

rm com.android.provider.settings/*/*

rm com.android.provider.settings/*/*.*

rmdir com.android.provider.settings/*

rmdir com.android.provider.settings

then i restarted the phone(no cleaning cache or dalvik)

and boom it started pretty quickly to the optimizing apps screen(i hav e 233 installed right now).

once all was working i just flashed aokp gapps and boom. no bugs and fast so far.

hope this helps not only on aokp but on any other room.
