Good day everyone.

Can anyone recommend a reliable back up tool? for backing up contacts on my phone? cause I've got 2 bootloops altogether (once because I unlocked my bootloader, the second was for God knows what) it's a pain in the ass to get back all my contacts so I'm kindly asking, can someone help me out here?

I.'m using GoBackup application.. Created backup in SD Card, never face a problem..
[Sony Xperia L] Amr5121:
Hey i think it's better to use moborobo it's a software that u install on your pc. then connect your phone with usb debugging on then press backup. meanwhile u can do much more with that software and i think its better than any other app that u can install on your device coz u've got the backup on your pc that mean even if u lose your phone! U have your backup and u can restore it on any other android device
[Sony Xperia L] ShinOrochiX:
You can export them to the SIM/SD card, or even better sync them to your Google account-this is what I do, so every time I reset the phone I just connect my account and it automatically syncs all contacts with all of their additional details e.g. emails, nicknames etc...
[Sony Xperia L] Sharful:
I use Super Backup and create backup regularly to SD card. Besides contacts, I also do backup of SMS, call log, calendar etc. It does what it says.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Wolf741:
I have been using gingerbread and ICS roms like for like 3 years now and decided to upgrade to KitKat or JB. After flashing the rom I am stuck on boot screen and nothing happens(I made correct sizes of system partitions). I have tryed using both only NAND and DataonEXT but on both I got stuck on no matter if it is JB or Kitkat Rom.

I am using 32GB 4 Class SD card, could it be the reason that my card's speed is too slow?

Or are there any solutions to this problem?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eclyptos:
The microSD have nothing to do with the problem. I just want to remind you that the first boot is very long even more than 15 minutes. Anyway, the problem of not booting after flashing maybe because the partition is too small. Do not matter if you did the right partition size, Wipe the phone with Task29 and increase the partition from original, of 30MB minimum and try again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Oni:
Hello all. I think Microsoft needs to be punished for its lack of vision. I think its time we stepped away from the idea of activesync and treated our PocketPCs as actual PCs, not as surrogate devices that require specialist synicng. I use google as a central point to store email, calendar and contacts. With that i can get at my contacts anywhere and on any machine i have which supports CSV import. Clearly, Microsoft never even considered any kind of syncing with the exception of their exchange server. No good to me when i use a mac and two linux boxes.

Im wondering, does anyone have any thoughts at to how we can manage all the personal information we have? At one level something that managed to Diff CSV files would be acceptable. Since Google can import and export these, that migh work reasonably well. Of course, we'd probably need some kind of scripting langauage on our PocketPCs. Has anyone seen anything like that?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fincsi:
I was wondering about the same thing. It might work, to make a simple program, that can read the contacts database, and save them as vCard and/or CSV. Then on your normal PC you can use a similar program, that can manage this data...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GliTCH82:
well, not to defeind microsoft, but couldn't google have made some kind of activesync plugin to do this?, i mean, i couldn't agree more that the platform should have been more open, but microsoft couldn't possibly cover every third party PIM system out there. surely, google could have (and probably still could) create some kind of extension that would allow these pocket PCs to sync with their PIM platform. if anything, it would help promote their product and i for one would be more inclined to switch over.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GliTCH82:
as an example, yahoo calendar allows syncing with Palm and Outlook. it looks like it's up to google to choose whether they want to support us.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bnycastro:
If MS allowed PPC users to sync with other services they would loose a lot of money as no one would buy exchange or outlook [afaik each cd included with ppc's have outlook 2002 so the oem pay for it naturally]. So it doesn't make good business sense to open up syncing. Anyway I hope you find your solution.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onewaylife4all:
I haven't been able to find this problem documented anywhere so I thought I'd ask.

It seems that my Nexus 5 has suddenly began turning on when being held at a certain angle. I believe that the proximity sensor has something to do with it. It started to happen after I was on the phone for a couple of hours. I've tried restarting, and switching from Art to Dalvik.

Is anyone else familiar with this problem or a solution? It's driving me nuts!

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GUGUITOMTG4:
Are you using a case? it might be pressing the power button.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onewaylife4all:
I have using a case, but there is an oversized cutout around the power button. I am almost certain that this is related to a bug with the proximity sensor.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WarRaven:
Mine, when using stock kernel would sometimes turn on by itself after pulling it from my shirt pocket..

Hasn't happened since I stopped using stock kernel.

Doesn't seem too common another poster, think whozilla saw this behavior as well.

No biggie.just odd.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GUGUITOMTG4:
does it turn ON after you power the phone OFF

or you mean that it wakes up from sleep state randomly?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onewaylife4all:
No, it won't turn on if the phone if OFF. I'm referring to it "waking up". It will wake up simply by holding the phone at a certain angle and distance away from the body.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GUGUITOMTG4:
Are you using a custom Rom/kernel? if so, try installing a new Rom

If that happens to be a hardware problem, It could be more related to the power button than the P.sensor

Most common issues related to the sensor is that screen stays off. Eventually, a screen protector can produce that, but not in your case.

The proximity sensor won't notice the angle you tilt the phone at (compass sensor does). It needs to detect something in front of it closer than +-1 inch to act up and should

turn off the screen when in a phone call. There's no much reason to turn on screen because it is not its function and much less if not phone call is happening.

Maybe the USB port is dirty and thinks you plugged a charger

or power ribbon/connector is loose inside, if any.

Companions and xdevelopers friends, I know you know more than me about this terminal, which is why I do through this post I do a consultation on recommendations for custom roms to run well in HOX ATT beforehand grateful to each of those who share their views, greetings.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Asking this question isn't allowed so nobody can answer it. Here's why. To say one ROM is better is to infer that the others are inferior in some way. This is disrespectful to the devs who spend their spare time bringing us these awesome ROMs free of charge. Each user has different tastes anyway, the best way to see which ROM suits you is to flash a few and find out for yourself.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] lcovel:
For a few months I had not been able to get YouTube to play on my home network. I tried about every thing that I read on the internet. Last week, I decided to flash a new kernel on my GS4, cleared dalvik and all that good stuff. When I rebooted, I noticed that I wasn't connected to my WiFi anymore. I checked my settings and found that my saved static address was no longer there, so I simply chose DHCP and connected with my password,,,,, now YouTube has been working ever since.

So, if anyone is having the YouTube problem, try forgetting your Wifi settings, boot to recovery, clear cache and dalvik, then try re-flashing your kernel or new one. Let me know if it works.

Hope this might help someone.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Skywatcher:
Not being a pc/phone buff I wondered if any of you guys can help me?

I bought a Vodafone V1640 that had O2 software on it. Firstly is this ok? Should it have had Vodafone software on it? Second, I sold the phone on eBay beause it did not match my needs or critera and now the person that bought it is saying there is a ROM error showing and that I had originally bought a duff phone. This I cannot understand, as when I received the phone, I charged it and made sure that it was in perfect working ordered. This was over a peroid of about 2-3 hours and no error showed on the phone what so ever. It actually came sealed as if it had come straight from Vodafone as an upgrade maybe.

I cannot understand why this error messgae is now showing and upon asking an IT collegue at work he has suggested that this person had maybe tried to load new software on to the phone therefore the ROM error being apparent.

Does anyone have any idea why the phone may only now be showing this error? I can assure you all that I did nothing to the phone as it was only out of the box for a few hours before I decided that it wasn't for me.

Thanks in advance for anyone that can help.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hollytree:
what error is showing.

i have a vodafone unit, but have flashed various roms without problems.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Skywatcher:
Hi Steve

Thanks for replying.

I've got no idea what kind of ROM error is showing on the item as it is no longer in my possession. I am trying to contact my eBay buyer to find out exactly what message is showing and when.

What exactly is a ROM error anyway? As I stated previously, the phone was on for btween 2-3 hours and showed no signs of soft/hard ware damage. How do Rom error's occur?

Sorry to sound so vague and amateurish!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hollytree:
I am no expert and have only been playing with these things for 9 months, but the only time I have ever seen ROM error is when i have been trying to flash a different ROM to my device, e.g the imate version to my vodafone machine.

Ask him what he did, what the error says and what he can see on the screen.Read the guide to installing a ROM and you can see what happens.

ROMs for specific versions such as imate will not flash to others such as vodafone unless you use a specific .exe file (the no id upgrade one).

If you try you will get an error, and sometimes you can get the machine up and running, other times you get a brick which can take time to get back to life.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renegade40d:
Hi all,

I have tried to find some credible info but have not been successful as of yet.

Basically Telstra having still not released 4.3 for the Sony Xperia Z has at the last minute (due release date was 7th of Feb) turned around and said Sony has withdrawn the 4.3 update.

I have contacted Sony and got a very quick reply from the Sony Xperia Contact Centre basically saying they have no clue as to why Telstra would not be rolling out the update, and they continue on to say it is a global rollout from them and then it is up to the network to test and rollout from there.

Is this withdrawn excuse viable?

Also, charging doesn't work at all.

Hi!

I have a Verizon Dev Ed running 4.4 with an unlocked bootloader. I want to root using TWRP 2.6.3.1 and SuperSU. I can flash TWRP using mfastboot and then reboot into the bootloader, but when I try to reboot into recovery, it just does a normal boot. I followed the instructions here:

and used twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img.

I have a Windows 7 PC. I tried to use adb to boot into recovery but adb doesn't seem to recognize my device when it is in bootloader mode. I suspect it is a driver problem, but I downloaded the most recent drivers from Motorola and that doesn't seem to help.

I have seen other people with this problem, too but none of the solutions that worked for others worked for me.

If you press the power button after flashing TWRP, it will do a normal reboot and TWRP will not be installed. Try installing TWRP again and go to select recovery by pressing the "Volume Down" button to highlight "Recovery" and then press the "Volume Up" button to select recovery.
