[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] james.abcde:
Hi everyone,

I have a situation here with my Nexus 4. I am running CWM Recovery 6.0.4.3 and AOKP nightly builds. I was using Stock ROM before AOKP. That time, before I upgraded I was trying to make a nandroid backup. I had around 7GB free space before performing the backup. Eventually the backup went wrong, it said "Error while backing up /data". I don't know what to do so I just reboot and re-run the backup process, but it still gave me the same error. I then boot into my phone and realized something... my free memory space has lessened to around 2GB only! I then decided not to make the backup and just flash my ROM to AOKP. I thought this will clear the problem, but it's not.

So, my question is, how to clear this used space? I checked in the nandroid backup folder and found absolutely nothing there, so it must be somewhere else... Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamel_tza:
Just as you said, it must be somewhere. Check other folders or even the rood of the virtual SD card. If you still don't find anything you may have to factory reset the device and wipe the SD card partition. Before you jump the gun though, make sure (assuming you're using windows as your PC OS, show hidden folders.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Did you check of have a Clockworkmod folder? Each time you create a backup, it creates a new folder with a new time stamp.

Use a file manager to delete the unnecessary or aborted backups. The backup folder should be visible with having to use an app such as Root Explorer.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EIAIZ:
I have Galaxy S 4 I9500 and my problem is i could not find backup file saved internal SD Card using ES File manager and the others. The other problem is After deleting folder from internal SD Card Storage capacity do not change. I delete 1 GB data but capacity SD Card same.

Here is the explanation.

First of all i rooted Android 4.3 and then install Rom Manager Program from Goggle Store to backup my all info. Room Manager did not work normaly and i tought that it was due to KNOX. Then i install Philz Touch Coustom Rom and remove KNOX. Then i tried to backup my all sistem via Philz Touch Coustom ROM and it worked. Everything was normal. When i run the Room Manager i could not find backup file to restore. I checked the internal SD Card storage capacity and i saw that it was about 3 GB less. It means Backup file saved to internal Sd Card but i could not find by Room Manager. I decide to find this backup file using ES File manager and the others. I could not find Backup Folder or any Backup file. I tried to one more time have backup via Philz Touch Coustom Rom and this time choosed backup to external SdCard. It worked normaly and and after booting android i found the file using ES File manager and the others but not Room Manager. Then i decided to copy this folder to internal Sd Card to check will i see the same folder in internal SD Card. I relized that i have not enought capacity in internal sd card after backup which i could not find folder but storege size 3 GB less. Any how i tried to copy but after coping 1 GB capacity was full and could not copy all files. It was interesting that when i deleted the copied file about 1 GB, storage capasity of internal SD Card did not change. It was full.

How can i solve the problem? Internal SD Card full but i can not see saved backed file and after deleting file capacity do not change.

Best Regards,

Hey all, I just got my new Note3 in the post today.

First thing i did was turn it on and update to KK 4.4.2, so my device is not knox triggered and completely stock atm.

I don't want any custom rom yet but i do want to root it.

I've seen that a couple of safe methods to root stopped working since KK update.

What would be the best and most safe way for me to root my N-9005 (i have the european version)

Thanks in advance !

Cheers

Can't safely root and keep KNOX once you're on KK. - There's plenty of threads with this exact same question

---------- Post added at 07:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 AM ----------

If you wanna root regardless, use CF-Autoroot - it'll trip KNOX

Hi all,

i ve installed the new Qtek ROM 1.30.77 WWE extRom: 1.30.176 WWE

I must say it is working really well, that s a nice improvement! Qtek is much smoother and faster.

the only problem i got now is that i am unable to read the PDF file my company send me. Before the update, Clearvue was displaying it without any problem. Now Clearvue PDF in the new ROM opens it, display the "layout" of the page (=very few background color, table, etc..) but there is no font displayed on the page :? Looks like it apply some kind of filtering or something but i am not sure... anyway, i am nable to read my planning for the month now...since i have no text! :?: :?:

Any idea how to solve it ? or do you have any alternative as a PDF viewer that works on WM2005 ??

looking forward for your help guys,

thanks,

Regards,

Mike.

ps: clearvue PDF in new QTEK Rom is version : v2.42.426 (from WESTTEK). However latest version in WESTTEK website shows v2.41.387.3 ..... might it be some kind of beta version in the new ROM ??
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hrb:

@kaemon

I've got the Qtek ROM v1.30 GER. And it is with the new ClearVue PDF in it. The performance seems a lit better, but I've the same problem with no text in some documents too.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lbendlin:
This sounds like the same issue as with Opera. Try to copy the Tahoma font into the \windows\fonts folder
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kaemon:
I think the document i want to open has Arial and Arial bold font.

However i cop Tahoma and all Arial fonts in the windows/fonts directory on the PPC, but it didn't change a thing, problem still there.

However i don't know why, i could not delete the fonts from the directory after that, told me it was in use... so i moved it to another folder in the ppc, still the same... so i just renamed those and after a reset i could delete it...

in Brief... i'm still looking for the solution to my problem... (thanks for the suggestion though, good thinking..).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] calvin42:
try XPDF, http://pocketxpdf.sourceforge.net/ its free and it uses real VGA to display the pdf files ;)

it's not perfect too but its much better than the clearvue tools
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hrb:
Thx !

Far superior to CV PDF

It seems that I cannot get any straight information whether Verizon galaxy s4 works with Metro PCS. After all update to 4.3 and rooted, I try different carriers sim card such as tmobile, att, they all work fine both voice and data, but when I try Metro PCS sim and set APN correctly, phone does not have any network. Does anybody have any idea? If so, do I need to do full metro pcs flash? Please advise.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dainbramage:
I have a Note II. It was an AT&T phone but I had it unlocked. Seems to be OK on Metro. I used the T-mobile APN epc.t-mobile etc. Download speed depends on location I've seen up to 33 down and 18 up but mostly a lot less. Although they are using the t-mobile infrastructure the phone doesn't work as good as my T-mobile Note 1. The signal is spotty and phone service is inconsistent. I paid for a month so I will see.

Sorry i can't help your specific situation but it seems to work with T-mobile so I don't see why it wouldn't with Metro PCS.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Naturesretard:
I recently rooted, but it was just root, still pure stock; my s pen always was a little off center but I now notice the further into the bottom right corner of the screen I "hover" my pen, the more the "hover" reticle jets right, further than the pen nib.

I have a screen protector but I don't think that's the cause, as I'm not actually touching the screen. However, when I press down the pen draws where the reticle is and it's not center.

I guess this isn't a huge deal, as it's only a small portion of the entire screen, but a possible fix would be nice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Naturesretard:
Bumping for prevalence. I'm sure others have experienced something similar. Honestly would like to know if this has potential to get worse, if so I'll replace it asap
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BableMan:
I don't think we have access to any recalibration warez so you'll be stuck using trial and error, like a caveman.

Is it off center with another spen? Any cell store that carriers the Gnote should let you use their spen.

Does a factory reset fix it?

Does a tactical swat fix it?

If nothing up there works you might want to replace it since it could be a hardware problem with the digitizer. I had an old HTC windows phone that had a third of the digitizer go wonky, but it didn't get worse over time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Naturesretard:
It's quite literally the bottom corner. Like less than 5% of the screen. The affected area is less than the size of my pinky finger nail. I'll go try tomorrow another pen. Then maybe try a factory reset. Seeing as I now have root it's not that bad of an option. What's a tactical swat?

Plus it seems to have lessened a bit. Either way I may ignore it. Don't know, it doesn't really affect performance in just about anything. Was just curious if anybody had a similar problem before

hello guys, I'm kinda new to android. i have a rooted and unrooted symphony w68( Android 4.2.2). Now all i want is to install a call recorder on both phones and hide the app from appsdrawer and uninstalitation menu and make it accessible by only advanced users. can anybody help me with that ? it would be great if it is possible to make the app only accessible with dialer secret code.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hnkotnis:
1) You can hide it from App Drawer only on supported launchers like Holo Launcher. But it is shown in other launchers.

2) To avoid uninstalling

On rooted phone, install it by System App Installer. N00bs cannot uninstall it. (Pro users can uninstall it).

You cannot do this on unrooted phone.

3) To open from dialer secret code,it is very hard. You need to learn software coding.

Hurray... Finally got hold of the culprit.

It was named com.scloud.... (Didn't remember the full name)

I have the galaxy s4 with the google play edition rom. Everything was fine for 2 weeks until this weird bug. The first day I installed the rom I have noticed that the icons looked too big. I fixed that by setting the dpi to my phones actual dpi (441). After that the fix worked and everything was perfect. All of the sudden, today... I noticed my widgets have shrank soo much in size, and my icons got very big. I did a factory data reset, it looked good again, my dpi was at 441 deafult, then everything shrank again. Is this a google setting that is backed up or something?

UPDATE: I wiped everything and installed virgin rom (4.4.2) and the widgets do the same ****. I noticed this does not happen if I choose not to log into google account after flash. How do I clear my default settings if they're backed up on google?

I'm struggling since yesterday for use a library into my app.

But I would like to use a color picker and things becomes more complicated.

I really dislike the feel of the back panel. It seems Sony used same kind of coating that was on Samsung Galaxy S3.

You know the glossy finger oil attracting coating that marks easily. I much prefer the simple plastic back protractor on the Z1.

I think I'll buy a case for the Compact due to I can't stand the oily feel and how easily it scratches.

Overall disappointed with Sony's choice to cheapen the Compact's material and construction compared to Z1.

My Compact squeaks when pressed and have loose gap between the metal and plastic frame.
