[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
Yes, I do know what you mean. I also encrypted my phone. When an encrypted phone is restarted, it first prompts for a passhrase/PIN code that's used to unlock the encryption key for storage.

I haven't restarted my phone since encrypting it (besides that first restart) and I am trying to see how long it will go without being restarted. I know - I'm weird - but I'm not wild about trying to figure out how to enter fastboot at the moment.

However, I saw a thread at android central where a guy factory reset his encrypted phone from recovery and was trying to get rid of the encryption prompt, and was able to do so from fastboot, so I think he'd know exactly what you have to do. The thread is here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/mo...ctory-reset-after-encrypting.html#post3396255

I'd PM drwtsn32 there - I'll bet he can help.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
I finally restarted my encrypted phone. I was able to get into fastboot just like everybody else - hold volume down and power together from a powered down phone for at least 5 seconds, then release power while continuing to hold volume down - that starts Fastboot.

Why isn't possible to enable it? What's the point of getting KitKat without option to enable it?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crash_194:
On devices such as the nexus 5 it is still only available through the developer options and to be quite honest from my own experience (ex nexus 5 owner) I didn't notice a blind bit of difference between ART and Dalvik. In my limited knowledge I believe apps and such need to be optimised to benefit from using ART and very few are at this time. What exactly do you think you are missing out on?

And to note also, ART is technically still in beta stage. Hence Samsung not putting it in their ROM's (yet)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesmuking5:
The N5 is already godamned smooth thats why both Dalvik and ART dont show much difference. For lower end phones, ART showed much improved performances like opening applications :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RAM_1994:
I think that ART will fix some situations in which this phone (or any Android) isn't that good. For example, when I try to pitch to zoom very fast when I'm browsing, it isn't smooth at all and it's quite laggy. But just that first second (or less), later is everything smooth. I think it's because of the Dalvik's JIT anf that ART will fix that

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robin2:
Hello all,

I noticed something odd on my phone today. I have the official 4.3 MK6 update for my country installed and so does my dad.

However, I seem to have a different kernel version than my dad (and other Dutch users I came across on the internet). His version is se.infra something and was built on 28 nov 2013.

Here's mine:

How is this possible?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xizt1boy:
Maybe you have other CSC?

No one knows about change of the firrmware. There are different versions of the firmware. some countries gets one version, then another country gets another.. in changelogs change only numbers (for us), and it really only Samsung knows what the difference between the firmware. Sometimes we notice changes, such as between MK6 and ML2 (ML2 seems to be faster)

Your dad got a newer version, and we don't know what's the difference, as I said =)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robin2:
Yeah, that seems to be the case. We both have PHN as CSC, though.

My main concern is that I may not be getting the updates that are released for our country (PHN, Dutch), because I currently am running a different kernel version than most are. Or won't this affect availability of PHN updates for my phone?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xizt1boy:
This should not affect too much on updates :)

But you can always use odin, download the firmware and flash them (using odin)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
How do you mean a different kernel you posted a stock kernel .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
He is talking about the stock kernel which has a different date than the one of his dad's phone with same firmware version.

Hi,

I'm trying to bring my HOX back to stock, but can't seem to find a RUU fitting for the device. The version info is the following:

My HBOOT is 1.39.0000. my CID is HTC__102. I can't seem to find a RUU for 3.18.401, only an OTA is available at http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Endeavor. When I try to find a Nandroid backup I can find some links on the collection thread at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1975140 but the links are dead.

Does anyone know how I can get my phone back to factory settings?

Thanks in advance, guys!
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Use another 3.18.401 nand backup, restore it, flash back the stock recovery and update the phone by official ota. After that you can relock the bootloader if you wish.
[HTC One X] RAZOR1985:
So restoring a nandroid backup doesn't require having the right CID?
[HTC One X] M@c|-|oR:
It's more connected with main version. CID is also somehow connected to the main version. Do as Mr. Hofs said, and you will be fine.

Послато са HTC One X уз помоћ Тапатока
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Indeed what Mr M@c says. You can indeed restore a 401 nand from any cid, but it needs at least one official OTA to pull the cid back to your original.

So basically it's restore a 3.18.401 from any cid, then flash back the stock 3.18 recovery

This one works

https://www.dropbox.com/s/xzshnnuz3jdcodv/stock recovery 3.14.img

Then do at least 1 ota and relock the bootloader after that if you wish. Not necessary ofcourse !
[HTC One X] RAZOR1985:
OK, great news, thanks! I'll try it out tonight, and will post back with the results.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsoby:
So I am currently running a stock ROM rooted nexus 5 with xposed framework with gravity box. I wanted to create a backup as I Dont currently have one which I know I should have done. Now when I went into twrp from my phone being on and selected backup along with what to backup my phone restarted to the android with a red triangle. How can I create a backup?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
I would recommend booting back into recovery and trying again with the backup option. If that still doesn't work I would recommend flashing the latest version of Clockworkmod Recovery for the Nexus 5, and using that to perform a backup of your device. Let me know if you still have any questions.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsoby:
Can I just download cwm recovery straight from the play store?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsoby:
To flash twrp can I install from play store then go advanced then install recovery?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
I assume you are talking about download GooManager from Play Store and then using that to install TWRP? If so, yes that's one way. Another way is to download the TWRP recovery image and use Flashify app to flash the recovery image. My personal favorite just because it's the way I always do it is to download the recovery image to my computer then boot into the device's bootloader and use fastboot to flash it to my device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsoby:
Got it thank you sir!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsoby:
Just to clarify I got this right I disabled all the xposed modules and uninstalled xposed framework then rebooted and used root toolkit or something along those lines I forget now to flash twrp so now when I go into fastboot then recover I can access twrp. I made a backup of just the stock rooted ROM. Now I'm safe if I soft brick correct? I had serious trouble a year ago figuring this all out with my s3 and soft bricked multiple tines with no recovery but I Dont want to be back in that boat but want to try out some custom roms
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Now that you have TWRP installed and have a backup of your stock ROM, you can restore your backup should you soft brick your phone. Your all set to try some custom ROMs if you want.

On my 8125 I have the built in tray showing wireless manager, card export, and battery monitor.

Question: How can I selectively change/remove these?

I know I can remove Tray_Init from the startup group to remove the tray entirely but I just would like to remove the one wireless monitor service icon.

Not sure this answers what you're looking for, but I've used Wisbar Advance2 for a year and love it. Gives me complete control of my system tray, as well option for any of hundreds of skins (tray and icons). Check it out at http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] faria:
just remove WiFiInit entry from the startup folder.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] DREAMBOXER:
Won't that disable WiFi ?! Or is it really just for the symbol in the tray?

EDIT: Just deleted the .ink but after reboot the symbol is still there? Seems like it just came back eventhough the .ink is no longer in the startup folder :x
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] D-Info:
Hi,

you can disable the Icons shown by the Init_tray by changing its Registry Values.

Create a dword Entry with the Value 0 for each icon (better: the corresponding executable) you don't want to be shown.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\InitialTray]

Example:

"KeyLockTray.exe"=dword:00000000

I think that the Icons/Programs are hard-coded to the Init_Tray.exe in the Windows Directory so you can only enable/disable this Programs.

regards,

D-Info

OOps: Don't forget to soft reset the Device!!!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mickangel:
Yes - irritating isn't it. :-)

The only thing I have in the startup is the Init_Tray.lnk which seems to start *all* the icons. That's why I asked. The registry draws a blank, the filesystem draws a blank, yet something must be telling the tray to load those icons.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mickangel:
That can't be the case. Installing softick card export ADDS an icon!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] D-Info:
OK, there are default Apps hard-coded in the init_tray.exe (edit the File and you will see it).

Maybe you're right when you say that it is possible to add icons to the Init_tray via softick.

Maybe softick replaces the original init_tray.exe.

I don't know softick.

Then I tried to download my apps back and then i got error saying that memory is full.

Then I started looking around internet trying to find solution for my problem and there was a lot of methods for solving that and no one method worked for me so I tried to flash stock rom but there is no rom for my tab.

[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SergSlim:
Hello,

Some of the apps in Play Market are saying that I have insufficient space when I try to update them.

At the same time, some apps update successfully, while others report about insufficient space.

For example:

Samsung Print Service Plugin - 10,42 MB - insufficient

Asphalt 8 - some small update slightly bigger than 10 MB - successfully update.

Revolt Classic - 114 MB app, update for 30 MB. Downloaded and updated without any problems

Facebook - 10+ MB. - insufficient

At the same time - update which is 100% of an app's size report about insufficient space, even when it's only 10 MB, while updates which are a smaller than the whole app, but are twice or more times bigger then those small updates - are installing just fine

Device memory - free 493 MB.

SD card - free 4.98 GB

I read somewhere that Samsung devices (or was it Android devices overall) have some limits for particular memory partitions so to say (cache, data, etc). And even when overall device's memory will have enough free space to install apps, it may report insufficient space due to overlimit of some memory partitions. Not sure how accurate I am saying this.

I tried looking at ADB to figure that out, but without much luck:

I tried clearing Cache partition from stock 3e recovery, but it behaves strangely - at first I see Android robot lying with red triangle or exclamation mark, and then the phone restarts itself. Dunno if it was successful.

I have an all stock firmware with root and reflashed stock recovery.

Do you have any ideas why does it behave this way?

Hi,

I installed the leaked 4.4.2 Polish version of KK and do not want to upgrade to the version of the next day which is Kies official.

(I had to because I had the Hong Kong version of the Note 3 Snapdragon, and the leaked version had the 4 files + using the PIT file worked)

a)Are there any differences and/or will it prevent me from updating OTA when future updates come up?

b)Now that I succesfully upgraded to a European version, do I still need to do in the future the 4 files flash on ODIN when new versions come up?

(some people reported phone stuck on Samsung logo when upgrading to 4.4.2 with only 1 file and could not flash anything else afterwards.

I recently pulled this FTF from my C6906 and I thought I'd share it as I didn't see it in the mega collection.

Well first things first, I wanted to install all of my root apps and I was running low on space on my phone so I decided I didn't need some of my larger files so I started deleting and since I now have root I thought getting rid of bloatware from my carrier would free tons of space so I went through and deleted some unused Verizon apps and AFEW google apps that also came with the phone and now I can't get into the Play Store...

My Wifi and 4G are greyed out and I cant access any of the google apps, I can remember most of the system apps i uninstalled and I will list them at the bottom. I tried re-installing these apps but no luck in trying, I still cant open google play and the wifi is still greyed.
