[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Hehehe, well all the manufacturers are trying to lock down their devices now, LG will be next with their KNOX version, and already Sony are a ***** to play around with I hear... that leaves HTC? - even then, your warranty is void when you unlock your bootloader.... However, they at least offer you the chance to choose an unlocked safe method via themselves..

I'm not defending the corporate garbage, however, you gotta remember it's business to them.. a few modders over millions of normal sales means nothing to them in the long run :( -- PS My tv is Samsung haha --

I replied to your help thread, we'll get you sorted don't worry :good:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omid_freesky:
dr. Ketan just released v2 of his 4.4.2 rom. I hope it's stable enough to use it.

I hate bugs, even the very small ones.

I was looking at all the posts in this thread but didn't see a solid answer about the 4.4.2 advantages.

can someone tell us what is 4.4.2 better for?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
The normal thing for you would be to upgrade from MI7 to MJ7. When Vodaphone UK 4.4 will be out you should start thinking about upgrading to that.

I have had the update 5.21 installed on my MDA Compact II for a couple of months. It works fine and is great. But lately something seems to make my ringtone go off. If i have tomtom open it does not work and if i close tomtom it does not work still. I try uninstalling everything and nothing works. I end up having to hard reset my whole device to get it working.

Anybody got any advice, not to sure if this is caused by the tomtom application.

Please! Help!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] admisi:
Tomtom controls the volume of other programs on the phone. It used lo be an option in the old Tomtom but no longer. If you turn down the volume on Tom-tom, it turns the master volume of the phone down. Check that you are not Muting the sound on Tomom. Also check you have a proper voice installed on TomTom.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jdearauj:
The volume on my phone and TomTom are fine. It all works 100% for a few weeks and then all of a sudden only the tone which you hear when somebody is phoning you does not work. So if i have it on vibrate/ring then it only vibrates. This happens when i'm in TomTom and when i'm just using my phone as normal.

Now if i hard reset the phone to clear all programs it goes back to normal and works 100%. This is why i can only assume it is the TomTom 5.21 update and i have previously seen a few posts on here with people having the same issue. But i'm just not able to find it. :(
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] zerimar:
First of all, have you installed the A2DP patch? This patch usually causes a problem.

Try it with your headphones and see if you can hear it ring while using TT. There was a post not so long ago and a guy discovered that somthing got stuck in the headphone jack.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jdearauj:
Not to sure what the A2DP patch is so i can only assume i have not installed it.

I will try the headphone socket, but not really wanting to walk around with headphones on all day and while i'm in the car. But thanks for the advice.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pikaetas:
Hi everybody.

Being short; I had miui 2.3.7f, I decided to change to the new miui V5, but the installation was wrong.

I couldn´t make the Wipes properly because the unit E:\ was unmounted, and the result, a slow system.

I decided to change the rom, but in this case,not using the TWRP recovery. I decoided to flashing SBF files via RSD.

The first one,was interrupt by slow battery, I tried later and nothing happens.

Reading in the forum, some user recommended this one DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-2312_TMOUK_SIGN_DE..

and actually, is the only rom that I tried, that it shows the "M" logo before bootloader

At this point the bootloader 09.10 shows me the ERR:a5,69,35,00,27

I´m not sure but, could be a problem of kernel ? For put a rom of defy+?

I perfectly know, there are 4 or 5 threads about that, I read, but wasn´t useful for me

everything is welcome !!!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeroemd:
re-flash sbf when RSDlite says that the device is rebooting and it does not, remove the battery and put it in again and go to stock recovery (vol down + power,when the android with the ! appear press both volume buttons) and make a factory reset.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pikaetas:
Thanks zeromd,I tried but when Im trying PWR+VOLDOWN, nothing happens.

Only when I stop to press, the bootloader apears again, with the error .

Could you explain me why the defyplus rom seems to boot, and not the rest ?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeroemd:
I own a Green Lens defy (mb525).

Yet I searched a bit and a guy in snother forum solved this problem flashing

DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CN_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B50AA009.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRIRD15_P015_A030_Service1FF

but as the name suggests it is intended for the Defy+ (mb526) but It seems that you have flashed one alredy, so idk if you want to try it. and if by any chance the .sbf is not on you main HDD put it on you desktop.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pikaetas:

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lesliek:
Using: (1) Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.9; (2) jb-4.3.1_r1-otter-2013-10-10.zip; and (3) gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip, I got my Kindle Fire first generation running well a few days before JAN 10 2014.

On that day, a new version of Google Play Services came out. Since then, I’ve had problems, which I assume are as a result of that new version.

While I’m booting up, I see a message at the top left of the home screen that says “Google Play Services error”. When booting up is finished, the notification shade has a two-line warning, “An application requires an update for Goo [the rest of the line is cut off] | Requested by com.google.android.apps.plus”.

When I touch that warning, I’m invited to update Google Play Services. I do that. Then I start to get a blizzard of error messages about Google services having stopped: com.google.process.gapps; Google Play Services; and com.google.asndroid.gsf.login. I then uninstall the update. After that, I don’t get the error messages anymore, but I start to get again the warning about needing to update.

Is there some way for me to break this cycle?

Is there any way to edit what widgets/settings are shown with the 2 finger swipe? I want to add auto rotation so I don't have to go to settings then display and then switch back to my app.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charesa39:
Rooted? If so, Xposed Framework + Gravity Box can do it. If not, Power Toggles would probably be your best bet. Although Power Toggles won't allow you to edit the quick settings tiles, you should still be able to put toggles in your notification pull down menu (1 finger pull down).

Hi .

After installing the recovery 6.0.4.4 on my s3 , i've noticed that it was a galaxy s4 version , after that i came back to recovery 6.0.3.2 version for s3 and flashed a rom , now i observe that my touch screen it's not working in recovery menu and also i can't pass from the language selection ( you know after flashing a new rom) . May you help me to solve these problem?

Sorry for my bad english .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Usually you need a new digitizer after flashing wrong file.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~DemonLord~:
The digitizer problem is a bit on the extreme. Just try flashing stock firmware through pc via odin. If that doesnt fix it, you may need to send your phone for repair.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreas_h92:
Hello to all,

I recently bought a nexus 5 device d820 and I love everything on it except the display. As you can see in the pictures that i uploaded, the left top corner of the display is "more white". The pictures were taken in straight view and not in angle view. In reality this whiteness is more visible.

Does anyone have this problem?

I contacted Google but because i bought D820 model and live in Europe (no Google store in my country :( ) they can't do RMA in a Europe play store and i should return the device to US. But i will pay for a lot taxes i think.

Do you think this is an easy fix? And I mean without replacing the whole display

Thanks for every answer!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hello00:
thats called backlight bleed..if it bothers u just RMA it

RMA...

Yours seems excessive and most people would RMA. Light is escaping from around the edges or bezel of your screen. It's possible that reassembling the phone could alter it but I think the screen would need to fully replaced.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bullfrog527:
Hey all just wanted to verify some things and sorting through all the threads is becoming a bear. I cracked my screen the other day and while at work a spark landed directly on the FFC lens. I'm going to be bringing my phone in to best buy for insurance and want to go back to stock.

Currently s-off twrp 2.6.3.0 running beanstalk 4.4.2 1/3/14

My question is the order for returning.

1. Backup SD card to computer

2. Flash stock recovery

3. S-ON

4. run RUU

Thanks for the help!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] weidnerj:
1. Backup SD Card.

1.5 S-Off

2. Run RUU. The RUU file will replace your custom recovery with stock. I wouldn't worry about S-off or S-on. They don't see that unless they reboot the phone.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] josh030181:
I just had to return mine for a replacement, the ruu I ran said to relock the bootloader before running the ruu, witch I did and it ran fine, so I'm not sure if it will run if you don't.

Also I couldn't get fastboot to work on my windows 8.1, I had to use my old vista laptop.

I didn't soff, I read it was risky.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bullfrog527:
Thanks for the help guys, so you are saying I shouldn't have to worry about s-off? I did it just in case I wanted to flash a Google edition ROM, never got around to it.

So its

1. Backup SD card

2. Lock bootloader

3 run ruu

After screwing up when flashing the wrong u-boot and xloader in fastboot, my phone won't connect in debug mode and the notification bar crashes on 15% battery. I've tried everything imaginable to fix this, factory reset, flashing almost every kdz, updating through ota, completely removing everything through fastboot and reflashing a stock kdz. Please help, i've had this problem for 3 months and nobody else has this. I just need an estimate, does it sound like a hardware problem or a software problem?

Hi, I think I might have a similar problem. I was running on stock JB for a while and then decided to give a try to CM10 or 11. I tried to flash CM11 without artas's recovery, so it did not work. So I've tried CM10, which seemed pretty buggy and camera was not working. Then I did all the reading etc and tried about 10 different roms based on 4.3, .4.4 and even stock rom, camera did not work anywhere.

Every time I try to open an app using camera, it reports: Unfortunately: com.android.camera has stopped. I have tried all kinds of resets (everything available in both CWM and TWRP), online kdz fix, back to stock rom (tried multiple versions of JB) but nothing seems to help. Any ideas? I've tried to flash this persist.img using adb but I got the same error saying that there is no such partition.

Thanks for response.

[Hardware Hacking General] iytrix:
Hello,

I'm not sure if this is the best place for this post, but it's the smartest, and largest android based community I know :)

I wanted to know where would be the best place for me to look for a hardware engineer. The caveat would be I need to find someone willing to talk a bit first before actually being paid. I need the help of one so I can make a more sound mock-up of what I'm doing and planning prices before talking to the VCs I have contacts for. That said, I COULD always find a way to basically hire a hardware engineer for consulting but I would really want to find a hardware engineer somewhat as passionate as I am about quality and creativity forward thinking. I already have a few software teams in mind to ask but will only do so once I have the funding.

So my question to you at XDA, where would I go about doing this? I should also mention the engineer I would look for would need to know about mobile phones. The thing is, I CAN start prototyping and the funding process using generic insides from a chinese phone BUT the end goal for me is custom hardware with the utmost care and quality put into it. So I would basically be lying to VCs (which let's be honest, everyone does) but then I would be delayed in having a hardware engineer still, and I'd rather have as much time to get the ball rolling as possible. Hell even if the hardware engineer could give advice on the future and pricing but says going with chinese insides until the money comes in would work.

I just have no idea where to find one, craigslist, ask around from friends, post at a certain website? Luckily what I will be doing for the next year shouldn't take the engineer more than a couple hours a week if even. So for quite a few months it should be pretty low key for them if they wanted to keep doing whatever job they were doing until I could afford to hire them full time. In about 6 months I want to start the prototyping to have early look units available for reviewers by November/December of this year.

Thank you for taking the time to read and help! If anyone is curious without saying too much I am looking towards making a pure android ubuntu edge quality phone, but most likely higher quality. The end goal is to use the main funding to make a phone directly aimed at the wants of you guys at XDA, but that's at least a year or so away sadly, and first things first.
[Hardware Hacking General] E:V:A:
You're in San Jose!! They grow on trees there! Just get some kid on the street and half their family will be HW engineers.

Anyway, this is the right place, but you are basically saying that they should "talk" to you, for free, for a while. So I doubt anyone would come forward. At least that's my experience in reading and seeing similar posts here in the last 2 years. Why would someone with the know how, risk spending months talking HW details, just to find him/herself abandoned?

You're project seem very noble and tasty, but we have to repackage it with some better incentives.
[Hardware Hacking General] iytrix:
Hahahaha! So true! I remember when I first was looking to move out with a roommate almost EVERYONE was an "engineer" of some sort.

In hindsight I shouldn't have deleted the quote to respond. I think I remember all of what you said.

Yeah I understand that fully. This has just been an idea brewing in my head for about 3 or so years and my original plan was to befriend someone that was a hardware engineer and after building trust and enthusiasm start working on things. Me personally, I would do all of this for no profit on my part. Do I want it? Yes, but I only care about food, living, car payments, and getting this project rolling. I would like to work with people passionate enough about this to have a close mindset, but I realize that's not realistic, especially since it's my idea I'm asking people to believe in enough to work for it.

I think what I will probably have to do is, once I get enough stuff written up to present to an engineer to entice them on the project, also get some contract ready that promises them some share in things. The only thing is that could get very messy, and I would also need to add some more binding things so that they couldn't just leave on their own and take some profits, but I know I will need SOME way to entice people to want to work on this beyond just showing them the plan and idea.

I'm also trying to get in the more professional mindset. Making new company named emails and profiles so when I talk to people it's not just from a personal account. For XDA though I assumed people would take a senior member a lot more seriously than a brand new account though.

Are you from the Bay Area as well or do you just know of it? I find it weird that in this area people want to know investors and have their teams. I am in the opposite position where I have no team but have investors I am able to get a meeting with.

As a side note, a main reason why this turned from an idea to a thing that I HAD to do is I was getting fed up with all the phones that are coming out. There are many markets and categories missing from phones and I am hoping I can be the one to fill the gaps. I see tons of complaints online on various aspects of phones and so few companies seem to listen. Then once in a while a phone seems to be close to perfect and then the company doesn't ever come close again or removes wanted features. My only real fear is if the market moves too fast with some proprietary tech. But seeing as we've had bendable screens for...what 3 years now and the most we've gotten is slightly curved phones no one likes? I hope to change that, to get people more interested and caring for their phones.
[Hardware Hacking General] mikereidis:
Just figure out where they hang out online, and post... ;)

You could post wherever idle HW engineers go to look for jobs too.

And there is no such thing as an "unemployed engineer".... They're (we're) consultants / contractors in between assignments, LOL.
[Hardware Hacking General] iytrix:
That's why I'm here to see if anyone knew where they went to hang out online haha. How would I go about that? Like a site or forums that's like a github for engineers instead of coders (although github is more pure code.....stack overflow I should say, but I think I make enough sense).

Haha! That seems very true. I'm sure I could find one to help me at least get the planning done but I would love to find one who wants to see this project through and through, and stay on for the full production of the phones, and the other ones I plan on making in the following years if this one succeeds.

Oh and, since from what you've said you SEEM to be a hardware engineer, how would I go about asking for the right kind? Could anyone with a degree or knowledge be able to easily adapt to making phones properly, or would I need to ask for one with a certain specialty? If so, what's the official term for the specialty?
