[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
no. only your user data will go. kernel/rom stays.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micens:
Thank`s,

But, with Full Wipe thing I mean Factory reset + Wipe Cache + Wipe Dalvik Cache + Manual Format /system. Do I need doing "fastboot erase boot" or something like this to full Wipe custom kernel?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
all that does is wipe data.

you cant just wipe a kernel away. you need to replace it. you phone can not boot or operate in any way without a kernel. a kernel connects the os to the processor to the battery to the rest of the hardware. if you erase your kernel, you will have a non functional electronic device. you will either have to flash a different kernel, or reflash your rom.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micens:
Yes I know this... When erase kernel with "fastboot erase boot" and then flash another kernel that`s it? No data from other kernel like changed ramdisk leave somewhere? That part of this I do not understand about changed ramdisk and other binaries from some kind of custom kernel.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistahseller:
Just flash another kernel. You can flash kernels over each other with no problem.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you can do that if you like.

anyways, if a kernel has its own ramdisk, and not an anykernel, then the ramdisk will get replaced every time you flash a kernel. if you are flashing an anykernel, then its best to either reflash your rom first or the roms kernel(stock kernel if stock rom). you can do it your way too, erase than flash :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micens:
That` s what interested me :)

Thank you very much ;)

Ok I'm wondering if is it possible to bridge a wifi connection with my mobile data network so both work simultaneously and increase speed and also when you get home and wifi kicks in you dont lose internet access momentarily?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berrydroidcafe:
On the first part, I'm not sure if you would be able to do that,. On the second part, if your wifi is on, it will always choose wifi automatically, if you're downloading a file. At least this is what I am lead to believe.

Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juan_carlos__007:
Yes but everytime you go away you loosr wifi signal and mobile network kicks in right? And vise versa. And every time it's switched from wifi to mobile network or the other way around if youre watching youtube, hearing spotify, or downloading something it cuts signal instead of smoothly transfering without losing internet access. Plus we could benefit of doubling internet speed by something like this.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berrydroidcafe:
Yes, that could happen, but there's not much you can do about that unfortunately.

Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juan_carlos__007:
Really? That sucks, it seems something that it would get really good use of.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berrydroidcafe:
It's not really a big deal with most because at the most the video you're watching or the file you are downloading will buffer for a second or two while transferring signals, which it would do normally, whether you're using wifi only, or traveling down the road, which it (buffering) will do without fail as it (signal) is passed from one tower to another. Some hand-offs are pretty rough.

I get email updates when something is posted in select threads because I like to be quick to help if I am available. I also get a nightly update of new threads. For three days I have been reporting new profiles just spamming the heck of the forums. It's making it impossible to determine who needs help and what is spam.

I will post a pic of one screen shot I just took. Nine of the most recent posts in the KFHD 8.9 Q&A thread, all back to back. All the same asker, all the same responder who responded to nothing else. Posts in wrong areas, posts about nothing to do with tablets or even electronics, reviews about what ever from places I never heard of and so on.

There is either a spam problem or some bots running around. I won't continue to get auto updates to my email if most of them are just going to be spam.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] SafinWasi:
Yeah,if this keeps up,the entire forum will be totally drowned in spam.

Moderators can lock the posts. Probably delete or move them if they are off topic. If the user is showing nothing but spam, they should be able to lock the account.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mr_Jay_jay:
Alright guys I've been having issues with my phone for quite some time now, I think they started since the release of JB 4.3, I don't recall havving issues with 4.2.2 but who knows, ever since I upgraded to 4.3 I had the following I'm almost certain that it my device that is defective cause I read thru quite a few threads and I didn't see people complaining about the same issues as me, so Here's what's going on maybe someone out there is going thru the same.

Please know that I had the same issues wether I use TW or any google or AOSP rom.

1.- Phone calls, somewhat often when making/answering calls I cant hear the other person, it seems that they cant hear me neither, so I just hang up and re-call again and it goes thru, this happens both during wi-fi calling or just using regular signal.

2.-Camera won't focus I open my camera and and the image is blurry, I tap on the screen to focus but it won';t do it, so I just close it and open it again sometime I do this couple of time and then the camera works fine.

I guess all I'm looking for is a confirmation more than anything, since I have insurance, I can always take my phone into a t-mo store and get it replaced for $5 and get it replaced within 24hrs...

Currently running Darthstalker X1 with latest Modem...

Thank you guys and appreciate any info, opinion, or whatever u can offer!! :D:D:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Have you tried just going to plain stock with Odin to see if it also happens?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mr_Jay_jay:
You know that's about the only thing I haven't tried, I just don't want to deal with the Knox Security.. but I guess that I have to do it to find out for sure...

Or should I try to odin back to 4.2.2??

\

I think I'm going to try that...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
If you're still on 4.2.2 bootloader then yeah Odin to 4.2.2 otherwise do 4.3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mr_Jay_jay:
what happens if I'm on 4.3 and I downgrade back to 4.2.2?? I hope I don't get a brick because I got odin started!! LMAO!!

Edit No brick LOL.. booting back up!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
You were able to downgrade to 4.2.2 via Odin? That was pretty risky, I was on the s3 forums before my s4 and quite a few people kept bricking their phones attempting to downgrade to 4.1.2 in Odin from 4.3.. Don't know how it is with s4 though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mr_Jay_jay:
Weird.. I also had the s3, well mi wife still has it.. I didn't know, but If I have to guess if would have something to do with Knox Security.. I upgraded my s4 the XDA way... not OTA, I flashed a knox free Rom, and later I odin the modem.. so probably that's why... any way.. it worked I downgraded successfully, now about my issues I think it's the phone, I opened my camera to a blurry screen and it wouldn't focus.. so I'm stoppin by T-mo store to get it exchanged...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Oh then yeah you still had the 4.2.2 bootloader so that's why it was ok.. Sounds like the problem is with the phone so yeah you need to exchange it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mr_Jay_jay:
Yea Will do.. Thanks dude... appreciate taking the time to answer.. !:D:D:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
If you're going to exchange it anyways, why not Odin back to a 100% completely stock 4.3 TW and see if you are having those issues. Just remember, it's better to figure this out and learn from it just in case this ends up happening to you again. See, because if you go Odin back to 4.3 TW, and you still have this issue, then you can confirm it is a hardware issue. But if you Odin back to 4.3 and you don't have those issues, then you know something in your ROM or services was modified or corrupt. My suggestion, go back to stock and test it out. :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mr_Jay_jay:
I did actually... I went full on Knox included restore stock 4.3.. I havent had any issues with phone but then again I don't call too many people during the day.. however I did encounter the same camera issue..so this phone is out of here.. I got the order in today with phone arriving tomorrow.. I hope I get a 4.2.2 JB phone...i
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
Yeah, definitely a HW issue. Good thing it was under warranty. And in most cases, they update the FW before shipping it out, so here's to hoping. :highfive:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mr_Jay_jay:
Yea dude bad news for me.. new phone shipped already with 4.3 in it... that kinda sucks... now what options are out there for me to get this rooted? Do you know?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
Yeah, CF-AR (ChainFires Auto Root). Won't trip knox flag but flashing a recovery like CWM/Philz/TWRP will cause your flag to trip.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mr_Jay_jay:
Yea I was reading that.. I don't care about the knox counter... one great thing about rooting is trying all the roms out there so I'm goin all in! thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdapowerapps:
No problem ;) :good:
[General Questions and Answers] tomic888:
Hello,

I have a school library NFC card which I use to open library doors.

Is it possible to copy the contents from that NFC card to a NFC tag and use the tag

the same way?

The NFC card is Mifare Classic and has Factory default key (not sure whether it is important to mention).

If I understand correctly, I will have to crack the secret key in order to have full access to the NFC card contents

and thus be able to make NFC tags?

What methods are used for cracking this key?

Hi, I recently downloaded Dead on Arrival 2 and Shadowgun: Deadzone. Having some problems with both of these games, if anyone can help, please do! Both are downloadable via the play store and are both listed as compatible with the MOJO!

When I load up Shadowgun: Deadzone, I can't get past the log in screen in either mouse mode and gamesmart mode. I can't do anything!

On Dead on Arrival 2, I can get through the menus in gamesmart mode, when I play single player, all I can do is move the character around, and open boxes! I can't shoot or switch guns!

If anyone is experiencing the same problems or can help please do! I know theres some Mad Catz reps on the forums, can you help as well?

EDIT:

Got Dead on Arrival 2 to work by updating to the newest version via Aptoide. All controls work great now!

Tried the same thing with Shadowgun: Deadzone but still cant do anything when you get to the login screen! Plz help someone!

[Moto X Q&A] dray_jr:
when you flahed the recovery did you boot into android first. or did you boot right into recovery.

if i remember correct right after you flash the recovery you need to boot right into recovery. so i would.

boot back into bootloader mode and run the mfastboot command and then type adb reboot recovery and it should boot into recovery with no issues.

let me know if that helps

[Xperia Z1 General] MSK1:
Only useful to stop battery drain if you know u will be without a charger four a long number of hours.

Otherwise more hassle than its worth.

What does the paid version give you? And is it worth it.
[Xperia Z1 General] rpcherrera:
Mine is working and my Z1 is not rooted, it just ask to force stop the application first, then it will hibernate the app. Check it again.

Well, if you have any unwanted apps that runs on the background and eats the juice of your battery, greenify will put them to sleep. :cool:
[Xperia Z1 General] MSK1:
My point is that it's more hassle to do all the force closing than recharging more frequently.

The only time it's really helpful is if u will be without a charger for a really really long time and you have no choice but to slow down battery drain.

Once all apps are force closed by the app... The drain is almost zero.

There is an option to automate it

There is an option to automate it (for non rooted). You still have to select the "hibernate now" manually but it will then automatically force close all the apps selected by you for greenifying..I have had this since about 3 months or so. It works only on my Xperia Z1 but not on my Galaxy Tab (GT-P3113) (which is on 4.2.2)

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wezzel98765:
Took my phone on holiday - well, my phone that the girlfriend uses - to Egypt!

On the 4th day we decided we wanted some under water video and pictures in the 120cm deep swimming pool (non chlorinated water). So the girlfriend checked the ports were all closed on her phone, then asked me to confirm they were closed - so I rubbed and pushed my fingers along each side to confirm closure

Took lots of great photographs with the phone only being submerged for around 15 seconds at a time, a few videos including submerging and just above water footage, again with submersion lasting no longer than 15 seconds at a time.

But during the course of the afternoon when taking photographs I noticed that the camera app was looking quite "foggy" - turned the phone over and the lens had condensation inside it!!!

Not happy whatsoever!

All afternoon the phone was turning on and off the power button thought it was being pressed, the camera took photos quicker than you can imagine as the camera button thought it was being pressed - so when we returned to the room, I put the phone in a bag with some of the free tea bags so that they could absorb any internal moisture (yes I opened the flaps whilst it was in this bag ... but not before this)

The phone now works other than the camera button, the motion sensor and the water damage indicators are all red

I'm extremely annoyed!!

The phone was fine all morning and should last for 30 minutes under water! I do actually have some footage which I will be uploading shortly, which shows the camera is fine going under water, then when it resurfaces the videographer is then splashed by someone which then creates the internal fogging, then the camera is then resubmerged and then resurfaced - splashed again and then the fogging disappears (we didn't know of this at the time - only during playback!)

I will upload this footage shortly

My arguement is that if the flaps were accidentally left open (which they were 100% CLOSED during use!!), then the camera would have fogged when underwater, not just when flashed - does this sound correct?

Keep an eye out for footage- Iwon't post the entire video as it's a private- not rude- video

SO TO SUM IT UP, THE FLAPS WERE CLOSED ALL DAY BEFORE I STARTED FILMING UNTIL I OPENED THEM TO DRY IT OUT AROUND 3 HOURS AFTER THE EVENT
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArashMiniStar:

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wezzel98765:
Just taking my photos off my camera and I can see that I took a photograph of my girlfriend who was using the phone at the time. She was facing the phone at me whilst I was taking the photograph and I can see in my photo that the flaps were closed. This was 10 minutes prior to the video that I've uploaded above - so yes, my flaps were closed!!
