[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drckml:
My device is a local re-branded and enhanced Xolo a500s/it's like a karbon a5 a think. After successfully updated my device via OTA and after my device rebooted. My screen started to flicker randomly. My phone is not rooted and im still using the official stock rom. I found a temporarily solution by doing a Factory Reset, the flickering would be gone but it will come back after my phone screen goes off and on. Anyway to fix this?

I suspect that the new lockscreen bloatware system app that comes with the update causes this, but hey I only suspect it and i'm new to the android community. I can't disable it(googled already, and the only way to freeze/remove it is to root.) I can't root my device for something like a hunch. I'm waiting for a software update that would fix my device's touchscreen collide bug.

Appreciate all of your thoughts.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UltraWelfare:
Try to start your phone in Safe Mode or try to start in Recovery (if your phone has available) and do a Factory Reset
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drckml:
Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it. I was able to disable the bloatware new systapp lock the came with it and it didn't solve the problem. I will try your method. Again thank you very much. I will check in later to post the result, hopefully this fixes it all :(

*edit

I successfully managed to boot in safe mode, the flickering has stopped but it return right after the screen goes back from sleep. Then I do a factory reset then after that the phone starts up and the result is still the same. :(

I will try the recovery mode though.

*edit

okay, i've managed to enter recovery menu. the one where you use the volume buttons to move. Is it really safe to select Wipe Data/Factory Reset there? Is that what you're prompting me to do in your post?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UltraWelfare:
Report back if something new happens
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drckml:
The results are still the same... your method do work yes. The flickering is gone after rebooting but as soon as you know press the power button and screen goes off then press the power button again and the screen turns on again from standby, the flickering returns.

Before doing some OTA updates my device is like v7 or v8 and now it's v9.1

and I didn't have any screen flickering problems before updating to v9.1 so I can safely assure that it's not in the hardware. It really just happened right after updating my device.

Another question, will installing a custom rom fix this software bug? But I really don't want to install those yet at the moment.

Any, Thank you very much. I really really really really appreciate it all man. I'm really at loss now. This is my first android phone that's why.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UltraWelfare:
First of all try factory data reset.Secondly if it doesn't work try a custom rom(if you really want to)and check if the bug has gone.If it doesn't then there is something fault with your device
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drckml:
So the only is custom rom/original stock rom before update(which is impossible because I haven't backed up one before updating)

is the only solution eh.

The reason that I held back from installing a custom rom is because I'm waiting for the touchscreen bug fix for my device iva OTA. Will I still able to get it after installing a custom rom?

Again many thanks. Is there a way to give you a thanks on every posts?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UltraWelfare:
If there is a way to restore back to your stock version or find a way to get back to stock version then yes :).

If you had a Sony Device then you could restore it with SEUS.Now with a Xolo I really dont know.Ask to the specific device forum
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drckml:
Thanks a lot man. I've flashed a stock rom and my device got fixed from screen flickering. Really looks like a firmware bug. So I've just downgraded.

Again thanks a million :)

I flashes to stock 4.2.2 and tried elementalx 2.6, it now runs great with no issues on stock settings.

I just reinstalled and used oc settings and gc oc settings etc still working well so far.

Also the elementalx kernel works great for otg and broadband usb dongles.

Yesterday my phone randomly rebooted so i took out the battery and it has a slight bulge (baerly noticable). It lasts for a decent amount of time on a single charge and the phone doesn't heat up. Is it safe to keep this battery or should i buy another one?

P.S samsung wont replace it for free because i bought the phone from another country
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Painman1963:
If the serial number of the battery starts with BD then it is most likely from the batch that were faulty from manufacture. If that is the case I would replace it asap as there have been cases of it putting pressure on the screen
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samehhesham4:
The bulge isn't that big to cause pressure but i've heard it might explode while charging which would be far more dangerous than pressure...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samehhesham4:
Yes the serial does start with BD
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shug69:
Buy a new one. This will get worse and before you know it your phone will ne rebooting 20 times a day.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samehhesham4:
So, should i check the serial of the new battery and avoid the ones starting with BD?

EDIT: I checked the phones of 2 of my friends. one of them had a battery starting YS and it was flat and fine. The other one starts with BD like mine and as expected, it's swelling
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrQQ:
Don't buy anything, take it to service and they'll replace it for free.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samehhesham4:
I already mentioned that i called the service center and they wont replace it because the phone was bought from Saudi Arabia (I live in Egypt).

Anyways, I bought a new one. The S/N starts with AA and battery life is a tad better than before. Now the question is, Can I still use the old battery when needed? like when i'm on a trip or something and need some extra power. The bulge is very small and it's lasts almost as long as a normal battery.

I wont risk it mate, i got mine replaced by sammy asap. Just buy a spare battery for trips.

Hello, i've been trying to find anything related to this tablet, a Hipstreet Equinox 10.1 HS-10 DTB1-4GB, from what i can tell its supposed to be based on android 2.3 gingerbread.

The tablet basically trefuses to boot up and i've been trying to find a way to get into recovery to do a factory reset or a firmware to force flash to factory reset but i have been unable to find out how to do either, or even any information/firmwares for this tablet. if anyone can help me it would be greatly apreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UltraWelfare:
Your tablet may not have CWM or TWRP recoveries..Some combinations you can try are:

When tablet is booting up press VOLUP or VOLDOWN or both.

When tablet is booting up press VOLUM + Power or VOLDOWN + Power or both.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragonfly14:
its most definitely on stock recovery for GB 2.3, but i have not managed to get into it. i have Vol + vol - Menu, home and back buttons, so far i've tried volume +/- both + power and ive tried menu + power as well as back and the home individually. i have not managed to get anything different other than on home + power, when i do that, i ttakes 5x longer on the "hipstreet splash logo" once it gets past that though it says android then infiniblackscreen. - i dont get anything on a host computer via the USB either when trying any of these combos - hoping to get ADB to do a factory reset via ADB.

i used to have a ployer momo 9 and i remember that tablet had a special recovery mode with a special flasher and was wondering if something like that existed for this cheap tablet which is based on just about the same thing, allwinner dual core 1.0 ghz + 512mb ram + 4 gb rom.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UltraWelfare:
Using ADB is a good idea :).I didn't think of that though :silly:...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragonfly14:
thanks, but yeah, i cant get anything out of it so far and was hoping someone had the magical way to revive it :/ i believe on my ployer it was something ridiculous like vol - + home + back + power for 5 seconds and i had to get it flashing within 5 seconds of that or it would switch modes.... x_x
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UltraWelfare:
Wait I found something for you

There is a few tricks to get your Tablet back , You require a few things

-A usb cable to connect to computer

-Internet connectivity

Now Lets start by putting the tablet in Android recover mode .

1. Connect the tablet to the USB port on the Computer .

2. Press and hold the power button and the Big button on the tablet , Keep pressing it until the logo of the android gut with his gut open shows up .

3. It is possible to perform a reset using the ADB (Android Debug Bridge)

I did mine on Windows XP , (Does your tablet install correctly in the Device manager? )

If so That is great news , You may goto step 5

If not Goto step 4 :

Step 4: Getting the Chinese driver equivalent for your tablet .

Get the drivers for the Ainol 7" Auror tablet (or equivalent )

Now Before the driver will work with your device (you can try to install it but it will give you an INF error)

You must edit the file (.INF) to match your USB id of the tablet

(At the bottom of the file change the STRINGS section to the device codes of your tablet ) (found by right clicking the Unknown device in the device manager . the (VID_1f3a_PID_efe8) is the HARDWARE ID and the

[Strings]

USBDRV="USB Devices"

USB\VID_1f3a&PID_efe8.DeviceDesc="USBDevice(VID_1f3a_PID_efe8)"

YOUR STRINGS:

USBDRV="USB Devices"

USB\<YOURDEVICEID>.DeviceDesc=USBDevice(<YOURDEVICEID>)"

Step 5:

Get the Recovery tool from here

https://spideroak.com/share/KNQW243.../CWM_Recovery_Manta_MID08_windows_install.zip

This will give you a suite of tools to restore your device to factory reset

Use it to install the recovery partition , and then reboot your device in recovery mode , Then use the Vol + and - buttons to navigate and power button to Enter .

So I guess the only way is to decomplie the apk?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

If I understand right you want only the icons, right?

Use Winrar (it's the one I use) and just open the apk with Winrar. Then go to /res/drawable-xhdpi (or drawable-hdpi, it depends) and search for an icon called "ic_launcher.png", it's the icon of the app...

All the apps, as far as I know, have this icon named like that for their icon as you see in your app drawer for example, maybe just the location could change.

Then you can use the icon to replace another one.

No need to decompile, just open the apk with Winrar, or at least with Root Explorer you can also (but for me it's more convenient on PC), click on the apk, then display and follow the same path, when you find your icon-> long press then extract.

:)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
