[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackn101:
Hey guys,

Just bought my Nexus 5 I am trying to add app icons to a second screen on the home screen. However, I am not able to do so. I have tried moving the icon all the way right on the home screen but It's not creating the second screen.. This works fine on my wifes phone but not for mine we both have the nexus 5.

I've also tried rebooting.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwhyte:
Do you currently have icons on the first screen? If not it won't let you have a second with Google now launcher.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martin_henry:
Dropped my phone this morning (~80cm) & screen cracked; now I've got no response from touchscreen at all.

LG Optimus G

CWM 6.0.4.7

Cyanogenmod 11

all data backed up

I can access ADB shell when it's in recovery mode but once booted up it just connects as MTP device and ADB doesn't see it (nor does fastboot). I've tried an OTG cable with mouse, no luck there. I have a bluetooth mouse but no way to pair it!

Do I just have the wrong driver in windows? Device manager says "LGE Android MTP Device" because I had (at some point earlier) installed the LG usb drivers and recovery tool.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
You don't have debugging on is my best guess, but if you're just trying to pull some files you can do this through recovery. Or is there another reason you want adb on while in os?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martin_henry:
Correct, I don't believe it was enabled in android os. I was hoping to use Screencast or ADB or something to control my phone until I get a chance to order a new screen
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
you can try this

boot to recovery

use adb to pull build.prop

adb pull /system/build.prop /location/on/pc

add these lines (or change accordingly if present)

persist.service.adb.enable=1
persist.service.debuggable=1
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb

now push it back

adb push location/on/pc/build.prop /system/build.prop

and fix permissions in recovery or

adb shell
su
chmod 644 build.prop

or try just editing it in a shell like

adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cd /
echo "persist.service.adb.enable=1" >> default.prop
echo "persist.service.debuggable=1" >> default.prop
echo "persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb" >> default.prop
echo "persist.service.adb.enable=1" >> /system/build.prop
echo "persist.service.debuggable=1" >> /system/build.prop
echo "persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb" >> /system/build.prop

then reboot

either method i would suggest doing a backup in recovery first, just in case, but should be fine

best of luck!

Then I found default.prop in ./ (http://pastebin.com/RFyhMJe9) and added the first two lines you suggested (it already had usb.config=mtp,adb) but rebooted and no USB debugging. Booted back into recovery and the lines I added were gone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
You may need to mount /system r/w first as its protected its possible that it won't allow you to pull it otherwise... Can't recall

Default.prop I believe will often do this upon reboot as its part of the ramdisk. To fully edit this try looking at this

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.p...t,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images#Alternative_Method

But really you just need to look for the build.prop

Just follow the part where I said edit in shell from above, this should work
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martin_henry:
I'll try that. Is there a find command I could use to find build.prop? I'm out of ways to look for build.prop, as I couldn't find it in /system or /sys.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
It should be in /system , never seen it elsewhere. Maybe grab the build.prop from the ROM you are running (like direct from a download of the ROM, just unzip) edit this and push it in place, then fix permissions
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martin_henry:
Bingo! looked in CWM recovery settings and found "Mount /system"

Once I did this, I could see all the files in /system, including build.prop. I updated build.prop and checked file persmissions (they were already correct, wierd). Rebooted, now ADB can see it:

>adb devices
List of devices attached
01a9a0f610c750f6 unauthorized

and when I try to run screencast (https://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/) I get a bunch of java errors, including this:

java.io.IOException: device (01a9a0f610c750f6) request rejected: device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device.

If I try to send a keyevent, I get a similar message:

>adb shell input keyevent 3

error: device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device.

Realized this meant my PC wasn't authorized, so I followed these instructions: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...ithout-previous-usb-pairing/15747430#15747430

and now I'm authorized!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Glad it worked out for you! Check out droid explorer and android commander, both should work well for you and have some more advanced options besides just screen cast
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martin_henry:
Thanks again, demkantor! I'll give those a try, since screencast only displays on my PC, none of the controls seem to work, and running commands like below are pretty slow:

adb shell input swipe 390 1100 650 1100 [I] (unlock swipe)[/I]
adb shell input keyevent 3 [I](home button)[/I]

EDIT:
Tried those but they both seem depricated and old. I got AirDroid which isn't exactly remote control but allows reading/writing of texts among other things, and works whenever you get on wifi.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yasir.97:
Hey XDAers,

I need your help. I think my phone's eMmc chip is dead. Today my phone's screen didnt turn on, I suspected it to be just a buggy kernel or ROM so as any other person would do, I removed the battery and rebooted. Well it did reboot although the boot animation (of Vanir) was lagging. Then I got to my lockscreen but when i was entering my passcode it was extremely laggy and it continued that way for like a min or 2 just freezing for like 5 seconds then continuing until it finally froze for like a min and I decided to reboot. Same thing happened, I kept trying to reboot sometimes it would just freeze others it would reboot on its own. Then I went into recovery and fixed permissions... same thing. Then I wiped dalvik cache, same results. I finally decided to connect it to the PC and pulled everything from the phone using adb and made a nandroid backup to my USB flash drive using my OTG cable and CWM, because when I tried backing up normally to the internal memory I was faced with errors. So then as a last resort I just was gonna flash to stock using fastboot (by the Nexus toolkit). While flashing I got an error telling me that the baseband version I have is different than the one required. even though the baseband from the .tgz or whatever file was successfully flashed. So apparently my radio is UGLL1 (I think) and the radio included in .tgz package was XXLJ1 and even though it was flashed, it didnt change. I tried manually flashing the radio and it also didnt change. So i went in the .tgz file and edited the android-info.txt file inside so that it doesnt require the XXLJ1 baseband to be present and instead just the UGLL1. It started flashing but got stuck at flashing the system partition after it was "sent". At this point I started paniking because normally flashing stock solves everything. So I tried using ODIN (my first time with it) and it took 30 mins to flash everything (25 mins just for flashing system. I was feeling optimistic since it was successfully completed.

Then it rebooted and I see the Vanir boot animation >_> WHATTT??? after all these system flashes and wipes Vanir is still present?? Then after it boots it takes my right to my same lockscreen, like the data and system partition weren't even touched!!! And its still lagging and freezing. So I go to TWRP recovery and try deleting everything from /data/media which works then I reboot again in recovery and everything is back ??? I cant wipe anything. I can add things because I remember earlier during this process I pushed a zip file.

I AM DYING HERE OMG MY PHONE IS LIKE MY LIFE. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! I THINK ITS DEAD BUT I'LL TRY ANYTHING :crying:

Hi All, I am having an issue with putting more than 630MB of data on my newly bought 2 GB miniSD card and was hoping someone could help....

Firstly, some background info....

1. I'm on a Win XP Pro, DELL Inspiron 6400 notebook.

Im also running McAfee Security Centre with AntiVirus, Personal Firewall etc

2. When I expore via ActiveSync, the only information displayed about the miniSD is a folder under the root directory called "Memory Card"

3. I downloaded both WM5torage + Card Export 2 to resolve this problem - when I use WM5torage, only 1 removable disk comes up in File Explorer (only drive E)

BUT when I use Card Export II, I get 3 removable disks showing up in File Explorer (drives E,F,G).

E: contains all the files I copied to the miniSD and is showing up as 2 GB capacity (using "file explorer" properties)

F: contains some folders including camera, FMimages etc folders + is showing up as 16 MB capacity

G: contains nothing and is showing up as 65 KB capacity

If I use either of these programs the most I can get onto the miniSD is 624.5 MB.

Using either of these utils, I get a "file or directory cannot be created" error whenever I try to copy an additional file across.

BUT when I try and copy any new file using the "Explore" button via ActiveSync, it says "cannot copy - cannot find specified file".

Sheesh!

Another thing I just tried doing was running a checkdsk on the miniSD (using the XP disk tools you find after hitting the properties option on a certain disk).

I checked off the "Auto fix file system errors" option + the "scan for & attempt recovery of bad sectors" and ran the checkdsk.

This ran for about 20-30mins, it came up with NO errors and just said checkdsk is now finished.

Any suggestions guys?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] Experimenter:
Have u tried a reader ...

OK, I don't have a 2GM mini SD to try, but what I do is stick the mini SD into a SD adapter then stick it into a standard SD reader and plug it into the PC USB port.

I transfer all data in and out of the mini SD this way as I find it much faster than through Active sync or worse, WM5torage which is only USB 1.0 speed.

Try and see if you can transfer it this way, I believe u can as the "check" u ran shows no problems. After u transfer, stick the miniSD into the Atom and try to access the files ... I'd be interested in the results as I am thinking of getting a 2GB miniSD myself. I currently own a 1GB miniSD
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] jon664:
I have tried this actually and my PC doesn't recognise/work with the minisd card with adapter.

I go to device mgr and there is a yellow question exclamation mark - when I look into properties it states

"This device cannot start. (Code 10)"

So going to try another reader just for a minisd (without the adapter) and also going to try another Atom to try and narrow down whether its the card or the Atom.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] jon664:
Great news - got it working!!!

Before proceeding with anything, I decided to update the Atom ROM from the "test_not_for_sale" one

to the latest offical one from o2 that was released a 1-2 weeks ago (20060426B1WWE).

After the system came back up I tried transferring more data using Activesync/Expore and bang! It worked.

I just filled the entire card up - all 2GB worth without a single glich.

I also installed Card Export 2 and tried copying the same amount across but that gave me the same error as before and would not go over the 630 MB.

Hope this helps anyone else out there having probs with their 2 GB card.

I have read, and read, and read. This is how I become comfortable about doing something before actually doing it. This method worked to jailbreak my iPhone 3gs and it worked. Whoot!

But for the life of me, I am not having any luck loading a ROM on my P5210. Here are the steps I have taken and the status.

Power up in to Download mode - Success

Odin 3.07 - Success

TWPR recovery loaded - Success

Loaded STOCK-deodexed-rooted-GTP5210-4.2.2.zip to my SDcard - Success

Renamed STOCK-deodexed-rooted-GTP5210-4.2.2.zip to root.zip - Success

Power up into TWRP - Success

Here is where things go wrong (I think)

Performed WIPE

Selected INSTALL from TWRP

Found root.zip on my SDcard

Selected root.zip

Swiped to confirm

"Updating partition details..."

Flashing file 1 of 1

FAILED!

I seem to remember reading some where that this needs to be a "clean flash" and not a "dirty flash". I took that to me that the tab must be devoid of its current Rom. I am not sure so I do not what to do anything that will brick my Tab. So far no damage has been done and with that, I will continue, I hope, with guidance from the experts here.

Now, if there is a link I need to read (and I have searched high and low for one, or more) then please direct. Otherwise, I think there is a simple answer or something I am skipping or not doing. If you see right away what it is, PLEASE tell me. LOL

So I will wait and hopefully I can get this thing going. I do believe I am ROOTED because I do have access to SuperSU. But I cannot do anything like remove apps I do not need. Maybe I need to download something to do that, but I was hoping to just say "delete" and be done with it.

Android is an OS I am not yet comfortable with to be able to just do things like I do in Windows.

Thanks tons and as aways, sorry to have to have someone repeat which I am sure there is tons of info on already.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brian D:
Well after much gnashing of teeth and pulling of hair, I believe I have narrowed it down to the microSD card I am using. It is a generic brand and is 4GB. The Tab sees the card and can read from the card, but cannot write to the card nor will it backup (TWRP) to the card. Guess I will have to get a name brand 16GB microSD card for the Tab.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris Kurisu:

I thought the same thing but I managed to write to it today. Hmmm... the unsolved mysteries of life. LOL
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReeceWyld:
Push for a class 10 microSD for the best performance from the tab. Read/Write on class 10s are a lot more friendly. Also, TWRP gives problems when flashing, especially from an external. If backing up was a problem for you, it probably has nothing to do with the brand but as i said, the class of the card.

If you can, try using a different recovery. Im not sure if Phil's Touch recovery v2 (CWM) works with P5210 but look into that. When i used TWRP it failed continuously to install the ROM i wanted (actually...it failed all the ROMs i tried) but CWM did it in one go. At the time i was using a (still using it actually) 32gb Sandisk class 10 microSD
