[Sprint HTC One (M7)] KoolAidBigMan:
that would work great if the phone was off...but the phone is on the lock screen... When I hold the buttons It counts down 3....2.....1 then hangs at 1.. Ive held the buttons for over a minute no dice..... It seems the only way to reboot is through ADB but I cant allow my computer to connect to the phone because of the screen being locked... wish there was another way to reboot this phone without waiting for the battery to die
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
Hold the power button until the home/recent apps buttons at the bottom stop blinking...if it reboots let go of the power and hold vol down this will get you to the bootloader

If it does not reboot press the power and let it start to reboot and hold vol down
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] KoolAidBigMan:
The buttons just continue to blink.. no reboot just stuck at lock screen
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
If you hold the power button down long enough it will power down or reboot
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] KoolAidBigMan:
I held the power button down for over 2 minutes... should I hold it longer? Here's what happens, after holding the power button... on about 5 seconds in a message pops up and says continue holding power button for reboot. I continue to hold it and a count down starts.... goes from 3 to 2 to 1.... the phone just stays at one no matter how long I hold the power button in for
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
hmmmm never seen that before, try holding power and vol down see if it gets you to bootloader
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] KoolAidBigMan:
Yeah tried that... pretty much tried all button combinations for all amounts of length....this is how stumped I am. I've been a member on this site for years and I think this is the first time I ever had to post a question about a phone. I seem to always find an answer but this time I just couldn't I'm baffled as to what can be happening and why this phone wont reset.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] KoolAidBigMan:
Yeah I mentioned that in an earlier post. I cant adb because I cant unlock the phone to allow the computer to be trusted by the phone... I have the phone sitting on the table with a piece of tape holding the power button in causing the screen to stay on and keep the endless countdown going... hoping that kills it quick..... I guess that's the solution to this problem if anyone else may happen to come across the same thing lol
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] the.emilio:
Do it under a lamp or brightly lit room.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] KoolAidBigMan:
that's what I did lol ! looks to be down to about 25%!!

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Gorbesh:
???

How did you get yourself into that situation, lol. This is why I slightly perfer the Galaxy's because you can just pop the battery off. I get a HTC and just try and do as little as possible, and quad check everything.

Did you get it done atleast?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] the_mig:
When you are holding the power button down and it starts to count down shine a flashlight at the light sensor to the left of the speaker on the top (or hold it under a bright light). I had this happen to me before where it wouldn't simulate the battery pull. Just sat there. Apparently the phone has a built in defense to not reset in low light situations in case you accidentally hit the power button while the phone is in your pocket. The flashlight on the sensor trick works. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2314952

I've done Google searches on io schedulers and there aren't any up to date guides. I am aware of their purpose, but I'm not sure what the differences are. Could someone explain noop/deadline/row/cfq/bfq/sio/fiops/zen/vr? Thank you!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iluvandroid6879:
Thank you! And what exactly are zen and fiops?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trickster2369:
First off, I am not a guru by any stretch out the imagination. Zen and fiops are just different versions of schedulers. Zen is based off of the conservative scheduler, I believe, with some of its own characteristics added in. Fiops, I'm not sure about, but have seen it offered by different devs in the past. Hope that helps just a little.

Thanks Devs. From my VZW G2.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iluvandroid6879:
Thank you for your info!:) its appreciated. Although, isn't conservative a CPU governor not a io scheduler?
[General Questions and Answers] Anh_Cali_SJ:
In order to download my data from my Smartwatch to the Phone, I need to get on the wireless to upload data from Watch to Cloud and then from Cloud to Phone. Since my phone is already connected to my phone via bluetooth, can I just transfer the data that way?

I am also open to write my own app, but I can't find any APIs that can help me with that.
[HTC One S] griddn:
Restoring this to full stock is to

Stock ROM/Sense 4

Stock Recovery

Stock EVERYTHING!!!

First, You will have to flash the stock recovery.

I'm guessing if you have gotten yourself in the mess of flashing a custom ROM, you have the fastboot files.

Download the stock recovery loadbalancing (dot) modaco[/url] (dot) com /download.php?file=ville_recovery_signed.img (Google search modaco ville_recovery_signed)

Go into fastboot [Power Button+Vol Down then let go of power]

Place the file in the fastboot folder. Then run this command fastboot flash recovery ville_recovery_signed.img

The meaning of this command

fastboot=notes that the command is running fastboot

flash=flash command in fastboot

recovery=notates that this is flashing a recovery partition

ville_recovery_signed.img=This is the name of the file you downloaded.

After you see that it is done

Run this command fastboot oem lock

This is to relock the bootloader.

Now, Go back into fastboot, and run the RUU. MATCH YOU RADIO NUMBERS AND CARRIER

Download from Here: androidruu (dot) com/?developer=Ville

TMOUS= T-Mobile USA

BM=Boost Mobile? (Not sure)

Rogers=Rogers Wireless CAN.

Run the RUU and hopefully your phone should be back to normal stock!!!

If you are successful, this is the next step: :victory::highfive:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dajokeisonu:
Hi I am a noob to droids and I rooted my tab and all was well at first. I knew that I could not put a custom rom on it or get a custom recovery however I thought I would be able to install a theme on it. After I installed it it said to reboot and I did and It was getting stuck on the atnt logo. I tried going into recovery mode and doing a factory reset and still the same result. I heard that odin can restore samsung devices I just dont know how to get the firmware for my tablet I looked everywhere and what to do. If someone could please help me it would be most appreciated the device was on jellybean 4.2.1 I believe.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] topdawg7793:
SWE Browser is a browser that I came across which is optimized for Snapdragon devices. My sunspider score went from ~1026ms in Google Chrome to 746ms in SWE Browser. I figured I should at least share it for those of you who primarily use your phone to web-browse. It was a project from Code Aurora but they seemed to have either abandoned it or just gave up due to lack of interest. Either way, it's extremely fast and a not-too-shabby Chrome replacement. You can thank me if you'd like but the real thanks go to Invisiblek! Find a post by him and hit the "thanks" button!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GrimyHobosack:
I just tried switching from CM11 to OmniROM and have hit a bit of a problem. The initial boot of OmniROM works fine, but rebooting after the first boot causes the phone to hang at the yellow triangle. Tried to follow instructions here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2544790 .

Initial install was done from CWM, I flashed Renderbroken's OmniROM kernel for CWM, then I ran mr-cook's wipe, installed the i777 OmniROM from 1/24, then installed paranaoid android's gapps mini, then rebooted. Everything seemed fine, but after the first reboot it hung at the yellow triangle screen.

Rebooted into recovery, this time in TWRP I installed the zips from the SD card and added all 4 to be installed in succession, this time Renderbroken's OmniROM kernel for TWRP, mr-cook's wipe, i777 OmniROM from 1/24, then gapps mini. This time I wiped cache and wiped dalvik before reboot. Booted fine, ran well, but still hangs on a reboot.

Can download a new copy of the ROM in case there are any issues, but didn't see any other posts on that.

Any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
Curious indeed.

Let's try something simpler;

put the omnirom.zip on the internal sd

from TWRP recovery:

-wipe cache, dalvik, data & system.

-install Omnirom

boot the system (initial boot), reboot the system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GrimyHobosack:
OK, thanks for the suggestion. Can't risk knocking my phone out of commission until Wednesday, but I'll let you know how it goes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GrimyHobosack:
I got tired of waiting and risked it and it worked perfectly, thanks! Left it for 5 min after initial boot, rebooted normally, rebooted normally a second time (just to make sure). After that I downloaded the PA Micro Modular Google Apps (instead of the mini I used previously) and rebooted to recovery to install that, several more reboots and haven't had a problem yet.

Thanks for your help Cyril and thanks for the main i777 thread too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bleggy:

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solaris81:
I bought 2 of these phones one for a friend and one for my mum. After noticing several times while messaging my friend on whatsapp that only 1 tick would appear usually for between 30 seconds to a minute or 2, i suspected there could be some issue going on with the wifi. After testing my mothers phone I can confirm there is an intermittent problem where the phone doesn't receive a notification as soon as it's sent. There's a lag anywhere between 30 seconds and a couple of minutes.

I've tested back and forth with a bunch of other phones on the same network and they suffer no issues at all, always instant notifications. I've also messed with every possible setting in the advanced Wifi options, done restarts, tried different channel for my router etc, the lag is there at least 50% of the time.

I should point out this lag is only there when the phones screen is off and in sleep mode. Once the power button is pressed to wake all delayed messages are instantly received. I've also tested and get the same problem with hangouts so it's not a whatsapp issue. I also don't think it's a router issue as my other phones are perfect and my friend is in a different house with completely different router and has the exact thing happening.

Is this a known problem and if so is there any way to solve it? Is there an updated radio that can be downloaded and flashed to the phone without rooting, or do we just have to hope a future update will solve this small but annoying issue?

Thanks.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makamarus:

Inviato dal mio XT1032 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solaris81:
I'm hoping it's just a radio firmware problem as the messages are instant as long as the screen is on. I've not tested much on mobile data so it could be affecting both but right now I'm thinking it's a WiFi problem when then phone is sleeping (screen off). The messages always get through though eventually after a minute or two. It's almost like the phone only enables WiFi data for a few seconds every minute to check for notifications, like a battery saving feature. Whatever it is I don't like it, hopefully something that can be fixed in an update or by flashing a new radio.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joel_sinbad:
Yeah, with Whatsapp on Wifi I have some lags when sending or receiving messages, but I see that is my wifi network, my neighbor's wifi can connect fast and I have no problems with Whatsapp and is fast using cellular data...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iPhone*convert:
What chance is there that the new device will be rootable, with an unlocked, or unlock able bootloader? It would be nice if you could sign away certain warranty right to get an unlocked bootloader. Problem is samsung won't allow it cause they know it will take some customers away from Samsung "hub". And $ are the bottom line.

I have a o2 xda exec that only responds if i do a hard reset then all i get is the 0 or X options and then nothing whatever i choose.

where can i get mtty from and will it help
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] trifin:
is the Bootloader screen where it says 'Press 0 to restore... X to exit?'

i have found a version of MTTY but it only has com1 & com2.

i now realise i did not do a soft reset after upgrading the rom....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] trifin:
the version of MTTY i have is 1.11a

my o2 xda exec is less than 24hrs old. i have already broken it.

I cant beleive O2 ships with such an old ROM. I bought it for push email so i have to upgrade the ROM. But now its useless and I am in trouble!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] trifin:
ok well i have mtty1.42 now but still that only shows com1 or com2

Please can someone tell me if the '0 or X' screen is the bootloader?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] pixiedust4us:
No, the bootloader screen is when you hold down the backlight button on the front of the device, the power button, and then use your stylus to tap the reset button. You will then see "Serial" up at the top and probably V. 1.00 at the bottom. It will not be a lighted screen, but dark gray. Make sure that ActiveSync is not in use. If you're not sure hold alt-ctrl-delete until task manager appears then click on Processes and look for something like wscecom.exe (spelling is wrong) but this is ActiveSync. Click on this and end this process, this should free up your USB and then you can enable MTTY and plug your device back in, start up MTTY and you should see the USB port to the left below the COM's. This worked for me. I am still stuck at the blue splash screen though...

Take care,

Monty Gibson
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] trifin:
hey thanks alot!

it worked i now see usb in mtty. I am trying the upgrade again - fingers crossed!

what a crazy day it is for me... this morning i found a rom with push email and stereo BT. I installed it and it killed my machine - from high to low and its all my fault!

i hope this splash screen error gets fixed for you!!!

for me i think the manufacturers are partly to blame. they should all release roms with full functionality and then none of us would be going through this!

Can you just tell us what exactly you did.. & is your bootloader unlocked?
[Sony Xperia L] DexterousKrupesh:
Just flash your phone with stock .ftf using flashtool!
[Sony Xperia L] perivenkal:
Thank you for ur reply, yes bootloader was unlocked and I was trying to install the custom rom but after restarting my xperia L never started again. Black dead...no logo just red LED blinking and I tried key combination but nothing. To repair through sus and flash tool it should be recognized by the pc. Its being recognized as unknown device by pc and did try to install driver manually but no luck. In both sus and flash tool I found message no phone attached.

Plz guide me.
[Sony Xperia L] perivenkal:

Thanx for your reply, Yes I have stock.ftf but to flash this my xperia L shall be recognized by pc. Currently its being recognized as unknown device though I tried to install driver manually but no luck uptil now. please help me

first install PC companion then connect phone to pc drivers installed automatically

Then remove phone

then open flashtool/drivers and install driver!
[Sony Xperia L] perivenkal:
Dead Xperia L

Thanx, Before this issue with my Xperia L I was using PC companion and I guess this already installed drivers but now neither PC companion/SUS nor flash is detecting my phone. I am using windows 8 currently but I also tried on windows 7 to install the drivers but no luck. My friend suggested that I need a boot loader as all the data in my Xperia L has been washed out due to bad flashing. In my country no boot loader device available for Sony Xperia 2013 models. Any alternate solutions?
[Sony Xperia L] varunpilankar:
Bootloader..?!! I think you don't have any kernel in your phone currently that's why it isn't recognizing your phone by the PC.. Try using SUS on Windows 7..make sure your driver's are installed properly.. Either through SUS or Flashtool..

If your phone is Not Recognized by Flashtool that means you don't have Required Drivers Installed. Use the Below method to Solve this Problem.

Open the folder /Flashtool/drivers & Install "ggsetup-2.2.0.11".

If Still after the Above Process Flashtool doesn't Recognize your Phone. Use this Method.

Open the /Flashtool/driver folder & Extract the "XXX_ADB_Driver.zip" anywhere on your PC/Mac/Linux. [ This Zip corresponds to your Phone Model. ]

Now Open "Device Manager" on your PC/Mac/Linux & find the device which is with an Exclamation mark on it. [ Make sure your phone is Connected to the PC ]

Right Click on that Device & Choose Update Driver.

Choose to find the Driver Manually.

Now Browse to the Folder where to have Extracted your Phone Model Zip File.

This will Install the Required Drivers on your Computer.

After that Open Flashtool Again & Try to Recognize your Device.

If Still you see any problem reply back for further assistance..

Hit Thanks if I helped you..
[Sony Xperia L] DexterousKrupesh:

Hi pervenkal, try varunpilankar steps, I too faced this issue while flashing my Xperia L for the first time, 7 months ago. But it is most probably driver issue, during that time I tried lots of drivers even the one given with flashtool, but finally drivers from ADT bundle helped me.

The red blinking light sounds like your battery is low, I read about someone who had do e this not long ago. Couldn't boot tinto recovery because they had insufficient charge. Charge your phone on mains power for an hour, and then try flashtool again. But make sure you wipe everything.

Have you tried connecting the phone to the flashtool in 'Flash mode' ?

if not, Hold volume - & plugin the phone while flash tool is running and then flash the stock firmware which ur phone had last time.

If you have tried the above one, the android drivers are located at " adt-bundle-windows-xxxxxxxxx\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver "

Install the drivers through device manager.
