[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkMRL:
I bought a bluetooth dongle on Amazon (ORICO BTA 403, CSR8510 A10 chipset) and installed it on my Windows 7 x64 computer.

The dongle installs fine and works perfectly with all my older phones but not with my Xperia S running Android 4.1.2.

Basically, if I install the automatic windows driver, and pair with the phone, windows complains about no drivers for the device, and I can't do anything with it.

If I install the supplied software (CSR Harmony wireless software stack) I can pair and the Xperia S is installed properly, the various audio services work (I can stream music to PC using BT), but I still can't send or receive files, either from PC to Phone or from Phone to PC.

The connection times out after a second and gives me a connectivity error. It's like the phone refuses to connect to the PC, both when transferring and receiving.

I don't know if the phone is the problem, it seems to not work only when doing file transfers with PC, if I try to transfer files to other phones or to my mac (which has built in BT) it works fine.

Is there any way to fix this issue? Any way to troubleshoot this issue to tell if the problem comes from the phone or the dongle?

Searching with google I can't find any solution, I just get lost into a sea of bluetooth problems which have nothing to do with what I'm experiencing.

By the way, using Airdroid instead of BT is not a fix.

Csr8510 a10

Hi

I just purchased a similar BT usb dongle to use with my Windows7 32bit laptop, model name/number BTA-CSR4B5 Inateck USB Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy USB Adapter USB 2.0 Wireless Bluetooth Adapter with LED Indicator For PC Desktop Computer Laptop Notebook, Compatible with Windows XP/ Vista/ 7/ 8 & Bluetooth 3.0/ 2.0, Support Bluetooth Stereo.

I want to use it for streaming audio to my headphones, I have successfully installed application/drivers with no problems then plug in dongle which searched & installed from windows more drivers which in compatibility mode and run as administrator installed ok, but then when i pair my BT headphones again auto search tries to find & install more drivers but always fails so i cannot get audio connection from laptop to BT HP's although there is a BT connection between dongle & HP's, I have tried another pair of BT HP's but get the same problem. any help from any1 most appreciated. BTW how did u get on with your problem?

i will try to upload some screen grabs hopefully yourself or any1 else maybe able to help me, solve this problem. thanks in advance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fa2020:
your problem is bare and I think you can try these two solutions out:

1- Restart your phone and check whether your problem has solved or not. 2- Restart your windows and also turn off your Antivirus and firewall and try again.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adeo63:
1.Its not a phone its Headphones. 2.Restart made no difference plus Antivirus/firewall not the cause, seems to be a driver problem when installing from windows update! Ta all the same.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkMRL:
The problem is ****ty drivers from the manufacturer. I installed Bluesoleil and it worked perfectly. Another solution is to use the Windows stack by manually installing drivers from the MS Windows Mobile Suite (or whatever it's called, I don't remember) but that only supports file transfer.

This might be silly, but I've become rather partial to the stock news & weather widget (I think it used to be called GenieWidget?).

In CM10, it was 1Xwhatever because it was re-sizable. But in CM11, it's much larger and has a lot of blank space. I tried a different launcher that claims the ability to re-size widgets, bit it would only change the width, not the height. Maybe it's the widget?

Is there a way in KitKat to re-size widgets?

EDIT: It would seem to be a problem with the widget. When I go to place it, the pre-place window says it's supposed to be 3x1. Shouldn't that be 1x3 (according to the preview)?

Does anyone else use it?

Install Xposed modules and modify almost anything on your phone.

Install Greenify and get a decent battery life on standby.

Install Titanium Backup for easy backup and restore.

Apply [MENTION=4462857]iceyhotguy[/MENTION] tweaks for better device performance.

and many more

And if you step up to installing custom ROMs, you can:

Get rids of lags completely (by complete I mean COMPLETE)

Possible to upgrade to Android 4.4.2 Kitkat

Get many customizations previously not possible on Xposed.

FULL control of your phone.

You can also uninstall bloatware like chaton, S apps etc..
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DMJoh:
Removing Bloatwares

The great advantage of rooting is you can uninstall all the bloatwares which comes with stock samsung rom like, Chaton, S Apps, etc. Even u can uninstall apps like Email (when u have GMail)... The thing is removing those bloatwares helps u to free ypur RAM and Internal storage, and thus increases battery backup. :laugh:
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] iDorkKnight:
Root apps

You can try

-LMT Launcher(It's an alternative to PIE control)

-Greenify(Helps you hibernate unused apps)

-Game Killer(Hack games :D)

-SetCPU(To tweak cpu frequencies)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ^Jason^:
Rooting also easier for backup your phone

other advantages:

Grant more permission to do things you want to do (if you want to)

Also enable you to have an option on "link2sd or others apps" to enhance your memory (if you want to)

well. they said it could not be done. but i did it. i downgraded from 4.3 to 4.1.2. and so far everything is working. i used mobile odin pro. loaded the stock 4.1.2 rom but loaded the modem from 4.3. i have a working phone, sound and network.lets see how long it will work for.

and just let me add virgin s3 sgh-i747m
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
As far as I am aware it was never said this was not possible with mobile ODIN. Desktop ODIN is the issue because it attempts to downgrade the bootloader which is what bricks the phone. You can bypass the bootloader with mobile ODIN so therefore no bricking.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] redneckracing:
well i have been searching high and low for a way and nobody had posted anything. im just glad this worked.

well maybe someone should post a thread about it. like i did. not something that is 377 pages long and a noob like me wont understand. keep it simple. basic directions and links to downloads. its good that you showed a link to how to use mobile oden. but some people don't understand half this stuff. i'm still learning the basics but could not take 4.3 any longer so i took a chance. bricked my phone 20 times trying different stuff and posted what i finally got to work so others can find it easier.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smallyetzon:
So i can flash 4.1.2 but without downgrading my bootloaders right? Where can i found a 4.1.2 stock rom without bootloader? Or better yet how about 4.1.1? Is it possible to flash this versions without changing my MJB bootloader?? Good thread by the way
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] redneckracing:
i found some of my files here...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426

and the rest i downloaded from sammobile

the way i did it is i loaded the old stock file 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 in mobile odin but i loaded the modem file from the 4.3 that i got from link above. it will not change your bootloader but will give you a mix of 4.1.1 and 4.3. make sure you also select to root devise well updating. and use mobile oden pro. it's well worth the $5.00. it took me all of 2 min. fyi you have to load both roms to your sd card on the phone. and back up your phone first. it wiped mine when i did it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smallyetzon:
Can i flash this with mobile odin and wont brick my device?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] redneckracing:
i don't guarantee anything. but this was the only thing that didn't brick my phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] redneckracing:
just make sure your phone is rooted first. i downloaded the root66 4.3 on my phone with odin then copied it as well as the stock 4.1.2 to my sd card.

click on the "modem" you have to change it to the 4.3 file. it should be the MK5

Ohh so i have to download and unzip the 4.3 mk5? Ok ok thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] redneckracing:
ya you need both files. then when you select the "modem" button it will let you change just that file.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] redneckracing:
i tried unlocking my phone but it did not work. i don't think it will without changing the bootloader. try calling your provider and tell them you are going over seas for a vacation and if they would give you the unlock code
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] redneckracing:
as long as you have the stock 4.3 file for your phone use it. mine is on bell so it is different. just use the 4.3 for your provider.

Not for At&t :((
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] redneckracing:
that could be a big problem. you will have to find a stock 4.3 rom for at&t. sammobile dose not even list one. did you do a ota update or was it a rom you downloaded to upgrade?

one thing you might be able try. don't know it it will work or not. but try clearing the "modem" section. that way it wont change it. if you have to clear it all and click on the individual buttons except modem and load your 4.1.1 that way. as long as the modem dose not change you "should" be able to connect to the network.

just a thought.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] redneckracing:
or... dont ask me where i got it from or why i even have it. but i have a d2att_i747ucuemjb_modem.zip file. but its 18.8 mb and it wont let me post it

I did clear the modem on mobile odin and got bootloading loops :( i couldnt even get to recovery to restore so i had to go into download mode and flash a recovery with pc odin :( got back to normal after restore and now after flashing mjb bootloader and modem zips got no network :( haha what a mess, i dont get why on mobile odin after selecting root99 4.1.1 i wanted to click on modem to select my mjb bootloader zip or modem and it wouldnt let me...

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] redneckracing:
so we now know going to 4.1.1 wont work. and at&t does not have many other options. so don't try unless you have a 4.1.2 file. and always have the stock 4.3 you can fall back on if needed. just be warned. i bricked my phone at least 20 times until i found a way that worked for me. sometime all you can do is trial and error, but at your own risk.

Basically, PhilZ is the best of both worlds (TWRP and CWM)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charesa39:
Hi there. I'm currently using the "official" CWM v6.0.4.5, and I do find it quite annoying that it now creates its backups under data/media/clockworkmod instead of the easily accessible .../0 sd partition. I'd love to switch to Philz if only for the theming and OTG support. It looks like it's as simple to use as your standard CWM. So I have two questions: 1) I can just flash the Philz Recovery zip using my current CWM, then just delete the Clockworkmod folder under the data/media folder since I would no longer need it? and 2) Is there an option to backup EFS like in TWRP? Because after reading some of the horror stories on these forums about restoring the EFS partition (granted on a different device), this is definitely something I don't want/need to be able to backup for fear of the possibility of messing anything up.

Thanks for taking the time to help out!

I just started using my company's corporate email access (Intellisync) and they installed a mandatory password lock program and now I get a 1 or sometimes 2 second white screen when waking my device up.

Since others on this thread have connected it to the Today lock screen app I think maybe it is connected to having a lock tool checking lock status on wakeup.

So far it hasn't caused any problems, but it is a noticable change from how my device acted prior to the lock being installed.

Of course it could also be the Intellisync program so who knows?
