[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mbl007:
Hello. I have a problem with my phone. Whenever i get a call the screen doesn't turn on and I have to press the home button to turn the screen on and be able to answer or reject. It vibrates and rings but the screen doesn't turn on :/

Any help would be appreciated.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] ch0c0lateb0yctg:

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mbl007:
No actually I'm not, but im using couple of notification apps like awesome notifer and floatifications, I donno if this has anything to do with the problem.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mbl007:
[MENTION=4377818]ch0c0lateb0yctg[/MENTION] already solved man with a factory reset, I asked cuz I thought I could solve it without having to reset the phone.

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] sapiora:
Some times the screen protector is causing this problem.

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] S1LENT_:
This tool is for themers right? Or does it help us regular users too?

Oh ok, went to the actual link and read it. Sorry.

But wow, this will indeed be a great tool for other themers. Great great work sir!

Make it a paid app on Play, this is undoubtedly some serious hard work! ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] xxmrgreenxx:
checked my Theme and found no thumb.db in it.(yes hidden files in OS are shown)

Why should I use this?

btw: the "vrtheme Flash" and the "Universal Flasher" ignores Files that dont exist.

so the thumb.db files should be skipped by flashing.

But thanks 4 your try to help
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Kdio:
Sorry xxmrgreenxx ... didn't quite get you.

You are saying that the tool did not deleted the thumbs ?

You don't need to 'show' hidden files in order to the tool work properly.

If you previously setted up your Windows box to not create those files (as I always do) you do not need this tool.

It's is directed to those themers that do not are aware of the matter and release something like this:

Please advise any trouble with the tool.

Nice regards.

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] xxmrgreenxx:
i didnt use it.

And i dont know why i should use it.

The Script i use to Theme ignores such Files.

And befor packing the Theme.zip i clean up.

But your Idea is great. Keep on
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Kdio:
Would you like to share yours script in other to help us all on this matter ?

Nice regards.

.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] xxmrgreenxx:
its the normal Universal Flasher Script

Option "clean morph'
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Kdio:
As I do use only vrTheme, I can not verify that.

If possible, to help clarify the matter, could you proceed this experiment?

EDIT: obviously proceeding it using UFS.

Thanks a lot dude.

.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] xxmrgreenxx:
Experiment with "vrTheme Flash zip" puts the Thumb.db into SystemUi.apk.

This Version with Universal Flasher ignores the Thumb.db
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Kdio:
Hi xxmrgreenxx

THANK YOU very much dude.

Will as soons as possible place and HUGE advise that UFS is safe on this at that thread.

But, unfortunately, the link you've provided is requesting login. :rolleyes:

If you could just provide the link to main thread/site would be very appreciated.

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Kdio:
Hi xxmrgreenxx

Thanks very much dude

I've detected what you've mentioned:

CLEAN_MORPHING=yes

But, let me propose the following scenario using UFS:

A themer wants to introduce a new set of battery icons, with 1% awareness ... ok ?

He will provide a new resources.arsc, the drawable xml's and all those additional batt icons (1, 2, 3 ...) that are needed to the job and, as so, he will have to set NO to that UFS flag. If there are ANY additional files they will be flashed too.

So UFS is 'safe' ONLY when CLEAN_MORPHING is set to YES ... right ?

Nice regards.

.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] xxmrgreenxx:
yes.

If there are no 1% Icons in your Rom you cant add them with "clean_morph/yes".

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatray:
Is there any solution to be able to write and update messages by non default sms app on KitKat but by any other sms app?

I am using sms gateway on JellyBean and when I sent sms, it will be in any other sms app in sent messages. Is it possible on KitKat?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leodani:
Use Go SMS ( attachment for Go Launcher) it's pretty nice but you'll have to pay for the pro version... and the pro version works fine
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beatray:
I can't test it right now, because i returned to 4.3. I think that using Go Sms will not solve my problem. I thought that maybe some changes in system will work for that, but i don't know how to do this.
[Java for Android App Development] CodeMonkeyAlx:
Brief Introduction:

Its difficult to come up with a means of working around saying what I am trying to work on so I'll just say it. After all whats the good of doing things like this if you dont float your boat every so often. This being said I am far from cocky but I do take pride in what I work on.

So here goes. For the last year and a half my father and I have been working on personal safety applications on android.

Here is the one we had working last year: WEBB: SG in the Pottstown Mercury

The system was flawed and hacky and I am trying to make it better because as with all things a year and a half later you want to see your app evolve and continue to be of use. - It needs major work at this point due to new system policies in the android OS. Primarily regarding instant calls to emergency services. I do have a work around for this - that is not system illegal.

What I am wondering is this:

Is it possible while you are in a call to switch the input audio feed (Mic) to the output(line out) So that the recipient of the call hears the audio that would otherwise come over the speakers?

If so can someone point me in the right direction -- I figured that if I could ask anywhere and actually get an answer it would be on XDA. Problem was I was sort of scared to post. - Intimidation factor and not wanting to come off as to much of a noob / code-vamper.

finally:

Also glad that after so much time I finally got my hind end here on the dev forums.

Nice to meet you, I look forward to being an active member of this community and hopefully one day earning my place among the major leagues of the XDA-Devs. :)

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZOOPidy:
So I am on a custom ROM (FireNote) and it changed my home button longpress to open up "Device options". I want to change it back to open my task manager/recent apps, just like it does on stock. I have installed several apps and I still cant get it to go back :/ I guess another thing to mention is that I am running NOVA launcher.

FIXED! In Wanam exposed under system you change long press home behavior to something else and then change it back to recent apps or whatever you want and reboot. :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benny Bosser:
If you want to change/add more button functionality, you could try gravity box.

It has a navigation button section where you can change all the buttons.

I for example made the display turn off when long pressing menu button, which is pretty handy on a large device like the note 3 :)

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] FactionOne:
Hi Folks,

Just wondering, does anyone know of a way to disbale to phone driver on the BA? I've been playing with the ControlPanel and BuiltIn sections of the registry with mixed results, I'm not quite out of ideas yet but I'd certainly appreciate any advice!

...Even if you don't know for certain; I'm open to suggestions. I can hard-reset as many times as is needed to find a method as there's nothing important on the PDA.

Thanks and regards,

Rob.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] mamaich:
Phone uses 2 COM ports: COM9 for GPRS/WAP data and COM2 (as far as I remember) for AT commands. So deleting these 2 drivers would disable the phone functionality
[Xperia Z1 General] fjevel:
Upgraded using Sony PCC yesterday, and must say that I like the new build very good. My phone is totally stock, unrooted, non branded version.

Overall the speed of the phone is a lot better. Especially in Hangouts and the launcher. No more waiting for two seconds after pressing the "home" button for icons to show.

Also battery is drastically better for me. Two hours screen time, an hour of talking, everything on sync as normal and still 70 % battery after 12 hours... Pretty impressive.

Still have black screen in Chrome on multitask, though. Annoying

Anyone else have experiences or bugs to share? I will try to sum it all up in this first post, making it easier to get an overview. I will mark the info I have been able to confirm with green color.

make attention... the black screen with chrome it's not a problem by Sony... it's a problem that chrome have... With my note 3 it happens too... same for Whatsapp...

Only issue I have is sound enhancements not working with 3rd party apps, other than that, it's a nice update, I got rid off yellow screen, added saturation and battery lasts slightly longer than before.

[Xperia Z1 General] albertobom:
You know kitkat doesn't mean bugs free.
[Xperia Z1 General] nalab1:
From what I have seen from the 290 and 136 updates the Kitkat update will probably be released with completely screwed bluetooth and all of the other bugs that they have managed to incorporate into 290 and 136.... And probably a lot more.. That's why I am staying on the 257 release as er.. It works...
[Xperia Z1 General] shteren:
Dunno guys... For mw this update fixed everything. The phone is smooth runs cooler, battery is good and ofcourse! The touch screen is fixed!

I got. 136 by flashing nut's flashable over from jellyslim. 290 rom. Mybe you should try that route... It's absolutly perfect. Running 3 days with no restart and all is fine.

I have updated mine, but those bugs that are listed here are not in my update, all seems fine.
[Xperia Z1 General] Beautyspin:
I think it is important to state of the update is thru OTA or thru PCC. I see most of these are problems due to flashing ftfs and some due to OTA. You flash at your own risk. ;)

The only bug is sound enhancments other than that the update is great specially for the battery
[Xperia Z1 General] Vengeance66:
I updated my phone thru PCC, not flashing different ROM.

I really like this new update. Thank God the swipe is back in certain apps like YouTube, Play Store etc.

Honestly, I don't need the white balance settings, my phone is great.

I saw that Album and Movies apps are not black in Recent apps selection like they were before.

The WiFi reception is quite good and I don't see longer waiting before/after call for the display. Everything is cool with it.

The overall performance is a bit faster and the Recent apps selection is faster.

I like the new update.
[Xperia Z1 General] D F:
The proximity sensor din't work wery well with the previous software version and I could press buttons by mkistake. I'd say it works better now, but it keeps the screen off ,for too long, so that I have to wait like 2-3 seconds after every end call.
[Xperia Z1 General] mdt73:
This is a flat out lie. Samsung releases updates slower than everyone except LG. I have received multiple updates on my Xperia Z1 since Nov. And these are updates to fix problems that have been non existent on my Z1. Stop making things up.
[Xperia Z1 General] :
The grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence...

Really the only way to get constant and long updates is to get a Nexus or Google Play edition device. All other phones have skins and crap from their manufacturers and get slower updates that stop coming sooner rather than later.

LG has a horrible reputation with updates due to abandoning some phones without a single update.

Samsung does constant updates for most phones but they come slowly. Samsung also gives more updates to the flagships and doesn't care for other models so much.

HTC has a reputation of stopping updates as soon as their next flagship is released.

Honestly guys Sony isn't so bad. They are mediocre and in most cases are also quite developer friendly. Yes the new update seems to cause problems for some but the Z1 is barely 6 months old and has already seen 4 updates, one of which was a version update from 4.2 to 4.3 and now 4.4 is just around the corner.
[Xperia Z1 General] ashouhdy:
My wife s3 is still on 4.2.2 my tablet Note 10.1 is still on 4.1.2 both are global versions stock unrooted. The only updated old device is the Note2 got the 4.3 before my Z1 ...

I just got OTA this morning, installing now. We'll see if I get nailed with the problems people are complaining about. If I have issues, I'm at least going to go to [NUT]'s 290 release, but maybe try his 136 release.

AFAIK, the update hasn't been available to very many people via OTA. Most people you see with it before now used PCC, SUS, or flashed an FTF.
