[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] thenetvines:
Hello, I recently found a small dead pixel after using the device lightly for a few days. I've tried to fix it with apps, cleanning caches, reformatting, and even installing roms, but the dead pixel is everywhere solid, even on bootloader screen.

The problem is that I need to send it as a gift next week, and the warranty would probably take 2 weeks or more, so is it worth it?

It's tiny, but it's there, and I don't know if one dead pixel, means more over time...

Please advise :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ezas:
None of those things will fix a bad pixel.

No you won't get more. And sometimes they 'fix' themselves with more use. You can use an app to flash the screen through different colors to 'exercise' it.

Is it an out and out dead pixel or a stuck (on one color) pixel? If you are not sure use a pixel tester from the store. Bad pixels are like light scratches, after a while you don't notice them. But for a gift I'd be disappointed as well.

If it's new can't you do a straight exchange?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] kubasienki:
I think it's not worth it.

Pices of replacement screens are teribly high.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] thenetvines:
Hey! Good news, you were right man. I was just about to send it, but decided to use it more and more heavily, and those "flashing colors" apps as well (don't know how much that helped), and eventually, it got smaller, and smaller to the point where I can barely see it so tiny.

It was tiny before, but now it's almost invisible. It started out as a stuck green pixel, and it was everywhere in the same place. Even in the bootloader, Recovery, and after various rom reflashes.

Thanks for the tips!

I am seeing a large battery drain from the lockscreen weather/clock/calender widget. I would not allow the OS to go into deep sleep, just down to 300Mhz. Once I disabled the the widget the battery improved dramatically. This drain was showing under the System UI task/com.android.systemui keyguardtestactivity task. Can anyone else confirm this

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] 94SupraTT:
I've installed the BMP driver and put my phone in serial mode however the driver gets installed. All of the other drivers install fine.

1. Open Device Manager from the control panel.

2. Put your phone into serial mode so that the computer tries to load the HTC Modem Drivers.

3. Right click on HTC Modem and select properties

4. Click the "Update Driver" button

5. Select "Browse my computer for driver software" option

6. Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer" (VERY IMPORTANT, Don't use the browse button here)

7. Select "Show All Devices" from the list and click "Next"

8. Select "Have Disk" Button

9. Now click "Browse" Button and browse to were you extracted the above files....and find the HtcUsbMdmV64.inf file.

10. Select it and select Open.

11. Click OK.

12. In the window you should see HTC USB Modem, Select it and click "Next"

13. Select "Yes" should you get a popup

This does not work.

I normally store my music where the file name includes the track number followed by the track name. When using the voice command to play a track by name you have to speak the track number along with the name.

Is there any way to automatically filter off the track numbers when sync'ing over music such that this software won't get hung up over needing to know the number?

Now there is problem, I cannot take screenshot with my HTC one anymore, even with power+voldown, power+home and power+volup.

Thank you in advance.

Yeah compared to the stock ROM it takes precise timing yo get it to take the screen shot but on the GE Roms you need to hold down the power button and vol down for it work.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alamarco:
I have two applications that are slow to start after a reboot. They are Dashclock and Lightflow.

With regards to Dashclock, as soon as my device has reboot it displays nothing on the lockscreen for roughly a minute. I can unlock the device, use it, lock it and still nothing until it finally loads.

Same issue with Lightflow. My device will boot up and I won't get the notification that it is running until roughly a minute in.

The only other app I have starting up is Lux and Lux starts up fine with the device. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing Dashclock and Lightflow, but no success.

This morning was the day I rooted my device. I unlocked, which wiped all data, installed TWRP and then installed root. After all that was finished I re-installed all my apps and started getting all my apps configured again.

Is this slowdown related to root opening up new locations such as data?

Is there anything can speed this up? It's strange that Lux starts up properly while the other two do not.

I'm going to try searching some more and looking into it, but thus far I've not found anything. Since I can't find much, it seems like this isn't a common issue with either application.

I'm using a Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerowinder:
Are you on ART?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alamarco:
No, I'm on dalvik. Haven't touched ART at all.

Some more information, it seems this isn't related to Dashclock or Lightflow. The default lockscreen will show the clock on reboot, but the date and alarm underneath don't show up for roughly a minute.

Are there logs anywhere that could help pinpoint the delay?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
I've noticed the same thing with dashclock. Stock dalvik.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Loads of Apps have to start up. Its common for some to be delayed. Further more, many will have dependencies on other system processes that need to start up first.

Hi.

I'd like to experiment with a new feature provided by Nokia's "Black update", BT 4.0 with new protocol for "Low Energy" devices (BLE).

Could somebody recommend me some cheap device with open/known protocol, to play with?

Also, if you have knowledge (somehow; I know, there is NO info at all but ;) ) about new API/protocols (even it's not documented or available yet), could you please share?

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] thals1992:
If you can find a used FitBit, that would be a good start. I think I saw some third party apps in the store already.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
BLE support is available for the handsets with Nokia's Black update only; I don't think there are some apps in the store 'cause Nokia just started distribution of the Black update. Or supported Fitbits are using their custom API and standard BT...

Is anybody knows the answer?

It was a Software limitation from the OS. Now with Nokia Black you also are getting the GDR3 Update. And not the Nokia Black update give you BLE, its the GDR3 :)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
Thanks for explanation! By the way, Android introduced a new API functionality to work with BLE; do you know, what about WP8+GDR3? Should/can I still use an "old way" (PeerFinder + StreamSocket) or there are some new APIs for BLE?

Flashtool you can start, because it's a programm for example windows.. anyway

Just a information for you: Always tell what exactly your problem is AND what you did or what happened. Because we do not know if you, for example, unlocked your bootloader or what you did wrong because we do not know what you have done. So tell us what you did step by step. Because if you learn what you did wrong, you will maybe not do the same failure again

Start flashtool and connect your phone in fastboot. what happens?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehiaz:
So okay.. At start I unlocked bootloader, then I went to the recovery and flashed Cyanogen (then I got some error, i believe it said error=7) then I restarted recovery (and it didn't went to the recovery (it kinda skipped it), and I started getting bootloops, I connected the phone to computer, I entered flashmode or fastboot (can't remember which one), then I panicked, and hard-resetted the device (that was dumb as ****, i think that's the problem), and now i can turn it on (it keeps bootlooping though) but I can't enter either flashmode or fastboot and computer doesn't recognise the phone, it doesn't even see it.

I think the 2 mistakes I did was not flashing the new ClockworkMod (I flashed it in old) and then hardresetting while in flashmode or fastboot, but now I have no idea what shall I do...

Sry for not giving full information, ty for trying to help guys.

"Device disconnected" and literally nothing more after that. No matter whatever I do. I can't either enter flashmode or fastboot. Nothing. I can just turn on the phone and watch it bootlooping.

Charge it now. I think the flashes shows the the battery is discharged.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehiaz:
I'll get up earlier next morning and I'll try to flash kernel (can I get to recovery by flashing a stock kernel? can I flash a stock kernel now? should I flash it with flashmode or fastboot?) I have recovered fully my phone in CWM before flashing Cyanogen so I can recover this.

I think it's good that phone reacts to trying to get in flashmode. It may be a good signal.
