[Verizon HTC One (M7)] misalies:
I have a stock HTC One with a number password enabled to unlock the phone. I want to use Google Keyboard but it seems when you have that selected as the default it replaces the number keyboard used for screen unlock as well. So instead of the nice unlock screen with big number buttons, you get the ugly google keyboard on the lockscreen. I've had HTC phones for a while and have never seen this behavior. Has anybody noticed this? Any thoughts on how to use Google Keyboard for everything except the lockscreen? Appreciate any help.

Thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] spokanite:
I get the Google number keypad which looks almost the same. Are you getting the qwerty keyboard instead?

I created this new thread because the others dont really describe the actual problem Im facing with my phone,

Suddenly my phone restarted and its not starting up moreover once or twice it did make it to the home screen but it keeps on locking like the power button is being continuously pressed and again its restarting.. Moreover when i remove the battery and place it again it starts restarting again..

Is it a software problem or should I take it to the service center?:(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Service centre if factory reset did not fix .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex.sg:
I encountered a similar issue a few weeks ago, my phone kept rebooting now and then. Knowing about the "sudden death" issue, I verified and it all was OK. My problem was a hardware one. The power button had an issue, so almost whenever I tucked it into my pocket it rebooted. Continuously. Even after I removed the battery and put it back it kept rebooting. I took it to a GSM service and I had it fixed in 10 minutes for about $10. They replaced the power button (the plastic and that rubber-like thingy). I'm glad they didn't have to remove the mechanical button. Also you could check the battery contacts (on the battery itself) and clean them - use something hard that can wipe off any residue.

Repaired

Thanks for the replies, the power button indeed was at fault, replaced and now its working great :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MikeyRo:
Hello folks.

Yesterday I played some games on my phone and after about 1 hour the phone just blocked . Didn't know what to do , nothing worked so I've unpluged the battery.

After that I've tryied to open it but there was something strange. There was a white screen , and just this...

I've tryied some things and now , when I open my phone it goes to bootloader ( that thing with red,green,blue and white ) , It doesn't even boot...

Sorry for my english , hope you can help me to fix it or just to tell me if it's brick or not ... :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eclyptos:
Did you try to open the device? Why?

If you phone go in bootloader check the Volume Down button, probably is blocked. Sometime happen the 2 buttons of the volume go out of they position and is tricky to put it back again. If the buttons do not do click when you push it that mean they are stuck, maybe just one of them.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MikeyRo:
I can be absolutely sure there is not any button stucked. :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eclyptos:
Somehow the phone boot in bootloader. The only way to do that is pushing the volume down. To me seems like hardware and not software problem.

I just don't understand, did you opened the Phone? and if yes for what reason?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MikeyRo:
My bad , didn't opened it , just powered on ( pressed the red button ).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eclyptos:
Are you an Android? If yes then you should boot into MAGLDR, reboot you phone and keep pressing power button. What happen?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MikeyRo:
boot into that screen with many colors
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eclyptos:
Ok so you are in bootloader, from there did you used Task29?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MikeyRo:
So first of all my phone blocked while playing a game. After that i've removed the battery , wait 2 seconds , put it back and power on the phone . After that it should show me android loading , but it didn't . There was just a white screen, I could do nothing .

Cause of this i've tryied the Task29 and yes I've tryied it from bootloader . But the problem is, at 100% my pc restart everytime and on pc it says "ERROR [270] 'The image file is corrupted'."
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eclyptos:
I think probably the HD2 is completely dead but I don't understand why the hell your PC is restarting and get you an error. Do you have some kind of virus? Try close Firewall and Antivirus and perform Task29 again. If this will not work from bootloader try to install directly MAGLRD 1.13.07, maybe the MAGLRD will install because you have some problem with Task29. If both of this application give you the same error this is maybe related to your PC. I never saw this problem like on another thread with Security Unlocked. Let me know what happen.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MikeyRo:
Again my bad , my phone restarts, not pc. Can you give me any ID so maybe you can help me with team viewer?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eclyptos:
Even if I connect to your PC via Team this will not help because I don't have the phone in my hands. Ok, then is your phone to give you an error and reboots, try to install from Bootlader the MAGLRD and tell me what happen.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eclyptos:
MAGLRD

The file.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MikeyRo:
Check the attachements. This happens when i run it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eclyptos:
Reboot your PC then try MAGLRD again.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MikeyRo:
Same thing :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eclyptos:
I don't know buy I think something wrong there, or your phone just died and there is no way to let it work or is your PC, there is no other issues.

Try this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5279236&postcount=4

Start from first step by installing HSPL4 2.08 by Cotulla.

Check also for Virus or Antivirus which will compromise the installation or the files.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MikeyRo:
It goes to 100% and then restart my phone . I'll use another PC tomorrow so let's hope it will work just fine.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:

You are right, this can be the reason why he can't boot anymore. If so will be very difficult time to revive the HD2 even if the solution are there.
[Windows RT General] .rootCoder.:
Hello ! :D

Curruntly winehq can run widows rt/ce apps on my Galaxy S Duos !

How to do it:

1)Flash a faster rom(like pmp (thx mohitash))

2)Download a compatible fedora armv7 img

3)Chroot into it

4)After chrooting:

[root@localhost /]:adduser rootCoder --force-badname (it's just an example) && su - rootCoder

[rootCoder@localhost /]:yum update && yum install wine

5)open androidVNC and then login to your vnc

6)open wine config

7)add all the possible libraries and apply them

8)set windows version to 8

9)open a ported windows rt/ce app via wine

10)EnJoY !

Don't forget to press Thx ;)
[Windows RT General] SixSixSevenSeven:
You havent tried this yourself have you.... Either that or you havent clarified what apps you can and cannot run properly.

WINE does not support winrt at all. Only win32.

WINE does however support win32 on THUMB2 now and the wine wiki even directs you to GoodDayToDie's ported application thread. WINE can run these programs now.

It can do the ported desktop apps. It can't do store apps.

There is also a QEMU patch to allow x86 software to run under WINE on ARM, but its meant to be buggy at best and performance is terrible (although I wonder how it compares to maimachs little x86 emulator).
[Windows RT General] .rootCoder.:
Sorry sir...you didn't understood what i mean

1)i had tried it and it's working for me

2)i said that ONLY windows rt apps(x86 apps cannot)

Sorry agin:angel:
[Windows RT General] .rootCoder.:
curruntly tested apps by me :

-bochsx86emu

-prboom

-quake

-A process manager
[Windows RT General] SixSixSevenSeven:
You still havent specified the difference between win32 and winrt apps (desktop and store).

Specifically WINE via this method will run the win32 applications from GoodDayToDies thread not apps from the windows store.
[Windows RT General] .rootCoder.:
Differce is that apps are ported to arm that our device is running it(you need to jailbreak your device to run them)
[Windows RT General] SixSixSevenSeven:
That is not the difference I was referring to....
[Windows RT General] .rootCoder.:
Pls..Listen:

Winehq on an arm device mean:

-That we own an arm jailbroken windows_rt-like

-that we can run rt apps
[Windows RT General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Your still wrong....

I know what it means. It seems to be you that does not.

WINE will run win32 applications. Not winRT applications.

Win32 = desktop.

WinRT = store.

Windows RT has both win32 and winrt runtimes. You are failing to specify which applications WINE will run on android, you just say windows RT, that could be store or desktop. The answer is desktop, you don't specify that.
[Windows RT General] domboy:
That is really cool! And even if Windows RT or Windows on ARM dies as far as the desktop is concerned (I hope not!), Linux on ARM can benefit from these compiled programs!
[Windows RT General] .rootCoder.:
x86Apps=any windows x86 EXE files

arm rt ported apps=arm rt EXE files (for jailbroken ones)

So:

-you can run ARM ported EXE files on you rt(if it was jailbroken)

And:

Winehq is running on an arm device, so it well run that apps ;)

AND: you're wrong windows rt HAS NOT win32 runtimes (see : http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/6/B/16B06F60-3B20-4FF2-B699-5E9B7962F9AE/VSU4/vcredist_arm.exe)

you well see that EXE app is for arm...so you can run it on your rt (if it was jailbroken) but..we can run it via wine on our arm device ;)
[Windows RT General] .rootCoder.:
Yup mate...you can do ;)

i had did it and still doing it (only ARM EXEs...wine is not an emulator)
[Windows RT General] kitor:
No. You're wrong. WinRT != Windows RT. Amen. WinRT reffers to runtime of Metro Apps, they does not have .exe files.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Runtime

Win32's are just 32bit Windows Desktop Apps. And those are .exe's. They refer both to ARM and x86 CPU. You can run Win32 ARM (well, Thumb 2) apps.

Windows RT has Win32 runtime. You're linking to Visual C++ 2013 redistributable (version 12), 2012 (version 11) is included in OS.

Anyway, still - cool news, and another reason to get mingw working for arm/thumb2 :D But I'll stick to my XPS10.
[Windows RT General] .rootCoder.:
OK...see : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=36534446

those apps are ported arm EXEs(not x86) and they can be opened by both windows_rt and wine on arm devices ;)

i've plaied prBOOM rt port and it's fully working ;)
[Windows RT General] GoodDayToDie:
Sigh... lots of arguing about terminology and misinformation in this thread.

For everybody saying .rootCoder. is wrong: I don't see anywhere that he (or she) explicitly said WinRT, and in fact I do see a number of places he said "windows rt". "rt apps" (or "rt_apps") could apply to either. Oh, and WinRT EXEs are perfectly possible and indeed common; any native-code WinRT application will compile to an EXE (on desktop, tablet, or even phone).
[Windows RT General] kitor:
Well, you're right (and apologies to OP), I just reread the thread and indeed .rootCoder. nowhere used "WinRT" name. :o
[Windows RT General] SixSixSevenSeven:
I never said he did say WinRT. He stated windows RT apps, that could be desktop or store and he wouldnt clarify which
[Windows RT General] mcosmin222:
I am pretty sure it is obvious he is talking about desktop apps, since he mentioned the jailbreak several times.
[Windows RT General] hisoft:
These are Windows RT "applications". Not Windows RT "apps". It don't have a same meaning nowaday.
[Windows RT General] GoodDayToDie:
Oh, bull. Yes, those are referred to as apps, but so are desktop computer software program(me)s, to use a number of terms that don't contain the string "app"... and which have been called "applications" or "apps" since at least the 90s and probably longer. Unless somebody specifies "Metro" or "Modern" apps, using the word "apps" to refer to desktop apps is perfectly valid. Calling it wrong isn't even pedantic, just incorrect. It should have been perfectly obvious what was being referred to.
[Windows RT General] hisoft:
If I refer to "apps" it didn't meaning to applications anymore. I think it only for where I live now. I'm sorry about that.
[Windows RT General] .rootCoder.:
AnyWay,Members...

The Important is to run some apps(applications) on our pockets :D

[Dell Venue] deltatux:
Hey guys,

After noticing people complaining about Microsoft Exchange on their Dell Venue tablets with Android 4.3, I took a quick look and I can confirm that Microsoft Exchange is broken for the Dell Venue 7/8 with the Android 4.3 update.

Unfortunately, in order to fix this, we MUST gain root and overwrite the APKs with the ones from AOSP. The ones I attached are the stock Email and Exchange APKs from the Android 4.4.2 factory images (from 4.4 but they do work on Android 4.1+). Only thing I've done with the APKs are to deodex them, other than that they're vanilla.

Once we gained root, copy and replace the APKs to /system/app and set the permissions to 0644 (rw-r--r--). Then reboot.

Here's why Exchange doesn't work, as you can see, even though the APKs have been installed, they're blank or the permissions were not set properly and the system can't read the APK. What's weird is that it doesn't trigger any FCs.

Unfortunately, until we gain root or until Dell pushes a fix to this, we're left in the cold. For now as a workaround, if your company/organization's servers support IMAP, use that until a fix or a root method has been published.

EDIT: The tl;dr instructions:

Download EmailGoogle.apk and Exchange2Google.apk from this post

Copy EmailGoogle.apk and Exchange2Google.apk to your /sdcard folder

Remount your /system partition with rw permissions

Delete Email.apk (or EmailGoogle.apk) and Exchange2.apk (or Exchange2Google.apk) from /system

Move the EmailGoogle.apk and Exchange2Google.apk you've downloaded to /system/app

Set both APKs' permission to 0644 (rw-r--r--)

Issue this command in Terminal Emulator: su -c "cd /data/dalvik-cache; rm *; reboot" to clear the Dalvik Cache to remove any potential for FCs.

* For maximum compatibility, remove all email accounts (not incl. Gmail accounts) before proceeding, sometimes FCs are caused by accounts configured by another version of Email.apk.

Cheers,

deltatux
[Dell Venue] jayjr1105:
So I have 4.3 with root, can I do this through ADB or can I do it right from the tablet.
[Dell Venue] deltatux:
You've got root on the Dell tablets with 4.3?

Just get ES File Explorer, enable root access in the app, make /system as rw (so you can read/write). Make sure that you delete Email.apk and Exchange2.apk (or similarly named APKs and its odex files) and then cut and paste the APKs that I've attached to the post, set the permissions to 0644 (rw-r--r--) and you're all good to go.

On the plus side, you get the upgraded Android 4.4 email client which works like the Gmail client :).

deltatux
[Dell Venue] jayjr1105:
Yeah, I was jcase's test subject. I am possibly the only one with it so far. I'll give that a shot with the exchange apk. Which of the two you listed should I use?
[Dell Venue] deltatux:
You need both in order to work. They are linked hand-in-hand. You cannot mix and match, doing so will cause FCs or Exchange being disabled.

Since you've got root, it's also good to clear the Dalvik cache by issuing this command in the Terminal Emulator after you've applied the APKs I attached:

su -c "cd /data/dalvik-cache; rm *; reboot"

This will tell it to run as root, change the current working directory to /data/dalvik-cache, delete everything in folder and then reboot the system.

EDIT: Updated OP for easier instructions.

Hi I've recently unlocked my N7105 using the method where you downgrade to 4.1.1 and unlock through the hidden menu. Since doing this my phone has had intermittent signal or no signal at all. I have since flashed different rooms, official and cyanogenmod. However the problem still remains. I then upgraded to official 4.3 (with knox ) and the problem still exists! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks I'm advance guys.

If you are talking about your phone signal then you most probably have lost your IMEI by downgrading the FW , do a search around this forum you will find many threads along that subject, I think you can regain it by flashing different kernels or ROMS.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ixijimixi:
Hi everyone. I'm coming over from Sammyville to the land of LG, on AT&T. From the reading I've been doing on these boards, I've decided that I'm going to root the phones right out of the gate, if only so that I can use the Xposed Framework (although I assume a custom ROM will be in the cards once I get sick of all the bloatware). I just want to ensure that I've managed to piece together the process so far.

1. Accept no OTA update

2. Install LG Drivers (non-verizon version)

3. Run IORoot, using steps here

4. Download and run Freegee app to bypass bootloader & install TWRP

5. Backup the EFS partition and save it somewhere, in case I bork everything afterwards

6. Don't accept any OTA

Is that the basic idea of the path of least resistance? As I understood it, accepting the OTA updates complicates installing a custom ROM later on?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nms247:
I rooted, then installed the OTA. Then but on twrp did a backup and then flashed a custom rom. I also backed up the original recovery and bootloader with flashify..
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steamer86:
Universal drivers. Back up EFS first and foremost after IOroot and recovery(both zips in multiple copies and locations). Freege works, but I prefer flashify / Phil's CWM. Backup also original boot, recovery, and kernel. Freeze the updater app as not accidentally accept. You sir, have done your homework. Accepting the OTA can fail or "softbrick" the phone destroying recovery. Freezing works better than chance. These steps may be painstaking, but will save your ass in a mishap.
