By not being manufactured by the same company ;) as mentioned by another member, Apple's Lost Mode ties deep into hardware which requires certain hardware support, which is not the case for Android phones since the software and hardware are by different companies.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imobileface:
you can use it again
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HtcOneJon:
Avast mobile security has functions and features like this with things in place to prevent flashing recoveries and such like, but to be fair, once your phone is stolen the only need of security software is to ensure your data is wiped. Everything else is unimportant as people will always find a way to reactivate a phone eventually, and you are very unlikely to get it back.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f_u_006:
All of the manufacturers use the same API and OS, Android must release such an API then the manufacturers can compile them into there Firmware...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pandaball:
Not really. API levels differ between Android versions, so different Android versions can have different sets of API available. Google could arguably incorporate such a feature into Google Play Services, but then the hardware portion is missing so even if manufacturers had such an option, the prerequisite hardware support must be present and unfortunately pretty much all Android devices to my knowledge don't have such a thing :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f_u_006:
I agree with you but like Apple, why should someone loss there data and phone because of a disaster?

I am sure Android may be working on it#!#?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pandaball:
If an Apple user lost his/her phone, the data and phone would be gone too ;) software based solutions cannot resist an OS wipe, and there's little Google can do about it.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f_u_006:
But if we had a backup in our PC or Cloud so we could restore it easily. At least you don't have to pay for a new phone.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pandaball:
Uhh? If an iPhone user lost his phone, why wouldn't he have to pay for a new phone? I don't think Apple gives people who lost their phones new ones :) As for backups, app backups can be done with the adb backup command on your computer. Nandroids would work on the same phone model as well, as would apps like Titanium Backup and Helium.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f_u_006:
I argue for lost phone not data!

Atleast i won't buy a new phone if lost mine in such way.

My aunt lost her IPhone and she found it after 2 days, she also synced her Pictures from the cloud and apps from the iTunes.

THAT'S IT!

Well... i feel jealous in this case cuz i hate Apple. Lol

Android must work on some security features, they can even make something better than Apple's.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pandaball:
I don't really get you... you're saying that if a person loses his phone, he also loses his data?

While this is true for apps, some games now sync game saves to the cloud so it is accessible on other devices and for backup purposes, while for photos, you can try Dropbox or Google+, both have automatic photo and video uploading as well :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f_u_006:
If you lost your Android Phone then forgot about your Data in your phone, Unless you have a backup ( Nandroid, Cloud, Titanium.....)

There's very less chance to you if you find your phone again. So... Can you live phoneless? PROBABLY NO!

You need to buy a new phone in sucha condition.

In Apple finding your phone after losing it is easy, and your data will be never extracted.

I am an entry level dev and i can extract data from any Android phone but in Apple nobody did yet.

So i want Android (The best OS ever in mine and everyone is view) to create such feature in there upcoming version API, Source code or..... then other manufacturers can compile them into there Firmwares..

By anymean i found Apple's lost mode better than Android device manager or manufacturer's specific.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pandaball:
True, which is why people should backup more often. Helium has a scheduled backup option :)

Ehh? If your phone goes missing and it shows up in another country because someone stole it, I would think it isn't very easy to get it back ;)

You can't if the person encrypted his Android phone :) That's another way to protect your data if you so wish.

As mentioned above, the hardware support has to be present, else software based solutions can only do so much.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kyle2595:
Ok, so I screwed up...

Long story short, I only have access to the recovery mode and TWRP on my HTC DNA. Is there any way that I can transfer a .zip file to my phone from my computer while the phone is in recovery mode or by using fastboot?

Thanks for the help!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] thebguard:
Hi,

I am using the FatToad custom rom. Whenever I turn on my phone via power button the screen stays black. It doesn't look like the backlight is on. However, the menu button and back button light up. I tried using the volume rockers and home button to power on the screen but it's the same.

The screen does turn on after a couple tries. I have to press power button on (lights turn on), turn off, then back on. The number of tries varies. If I turn it off and back on immediately- then it comes back right away. Whenever I am done with a call, the screen stays off and I have to press the power button to get the screen back. I tried setting the phone to turn the screen on when plugging in charger cable but screen doesn't turn on right away. The auto-brightness seems to be working properly.

I didn't have this issue running the stock relay 4g rom. I have also tried the CarbonMod rom and OmniToad roms to see if it helped but would rather not have to go back to stock unless I need to.

I can live it with it but if anyone has a resolution it would be super awesome. Hopefully it's something simple that I messed up and not the phone itself!

Thanks,

-Alan
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
are you having this issue on all above mentioned roms....i have seen this issue before on other devices and is a deep sleep issue...i know the only rom you may be able to fix this on is my CarbonRom and done so by changing min frequency up a notch...if that doesnt work go down a notch....all other roms besides carbon have this feature force locked as far as i know so you cant do it on those roms
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] thebguard:
I see. I will retry CarbonRom and up the min cpu and see if this issue goes away. Appreciate your feedback sir!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] orange808:
I've got "FatToad" (nice rom, bad name) and the Trickster Mod app provides plenty of tuning options. Since the trouble manifests itself when the screen is off, I would look at mpdecision before I went raising the min frequency. Then again, I don't have many issues with getting my device to wake...

Anyhow, the app has options to tweak.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
my Carbon rom is built differently than fattoad, cm, or omni...doesnt have lbcoders mpdecision touchboost amongst many other differences in its kernel

---------- Post added at 11:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------

if its at 192mhz go to 384mhz....if at 384mhz try 192mhz...if either dont work bump it up to the next highest mhz
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] thebguard:
:( I don't think changing the min cpu helped. Went up from 384 to 486. Then tried 594.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
did you go to the lowest...also whats your method of flashing.....dirty flash? clean wipe?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] thebguard:
The lowest option I had was 384mhz.

Flashing via CWM recovery: wiping data/system/cache/dalvik. Then CarbonRom and gapps. So clean wipe I think is what you are referring.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Snuzzo:
Sent you a zip to try via pm. Just let me know if it works.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Magamo:
Does this issue manifest itself when you have the phone plugged in? Can you get a logcat of the issue? Throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks may not be the best resolution here. There are ways of finding out the underlying cause.

mpdecision is not the cause here (That only affects the secondary core) nor is min frequency (You can override it in the HypnoToad images too, just set another governor (like say 'conservative). In FatToad it may look like it resets because Cyanogenmod doesn't display the second core in the performance settings, but changing it is sufficient for testing. The official CM 11 builds do not have the touch boost (which only affects things after the phone is awake, and merely sets the secondary core's frequency up to 1184 Mhz when you are touching the screen, but the affect on the percieved performance of the phone due to this is immense)

Deep sleep is likely closer to the main cause because that affects both cores, and if the system isn't receiving the proper signals to wake back up, this can happen. Throughout development on apexqtmo, we've run into similar problems, and it's always helped by getting proper documentation from those who are experiencing the issues.

TL;DR: Trying random things likely won't solve this issue. Getting all the information you can will help.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] thebguard:
Thanks again for all the help. I don't usually ask for any but I could not find much on my issue (or maybe I wasn't searching correctly).

I think I did the logcat correctly. See attached.

The thing that popped was:

When I would hit the power button and screen would not turn on, this would be there. I'm not really good with understanding this stuff. Hopefully this leads us in right direction though!

Edit: sorry forgot to answer your first question Magamo. This issue happens no matter if it's plugged in or not.

Edit 2: I watched the logcat from adb for awhile and I guess the above happens no matter what. I don't see any differences between if the screen turns on or not. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Nardholio:
It looks like you have a hardware rev we're not supporting in our current kernel (which is why it works on stock). PM me if you want to mail your phone to me for analysis
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] dillalade:
This happened to a new device i purchased. After lbcoder and nard trailed through my logs, I was prescribed to resell the device. Your symptoms sounds identical to what I was experiencing. JB stock kernal works. But custom roms which since delved into the new edited kernel doesnt work on such devices. Since re-sold the device. Be interested to know if yours gets fixed where mine didn't. Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] sorgo:
Hi guys. I have a strange issue, that might be related to what's described in this thread.

Almost always when I open or close the keyboard, the screen goes blank for few seconds. One thing (that I think) helps is to press power button several times until the lockscreen comes up.

I am currently running LiquidSmooth 4.4.3, tried it with 4.4.4 and also some old backup 4.4.2 and the phones does it always. The critical position when it goes blank is just a millimiter when opening the keyboard from closed position.

Does any of you have the same experience? Can you please help me to determine either it's a ROM issue (deep sleep etc) or hardware issue?

I tried it also with the logos, boot animations and the screen goes blank too. So I fear it's hardware related - maybe a flex cable contact, but it would not come back so easily after few seconds. Another clue is that the keyboard lights and back+home stay on, but the screen goes blank.

I wish it's something that can be fixed by flashing or setting something as I waited few weeks to deliver my relay to Europe... Thanks for any help in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
if its doing it an more than one rom it may be hardware...especially if its doing it at startup logo and bootani...does it do it on cm11 as well as omni?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] sorgo:
Thanks for the reply. Yes the bootanimation and initial logo is telling enough about the cause of it. I must admit it's a hw problem. I tried to open/close the keyboard quicky instead of moving it slowly, but it occurs too. I'll try completely different rom with different kernel as the last chance

to hope for a sw issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] sorgo:
I tried Omnirom with same result, but now I did a clean flash of the latest liquid and my impression is that this happens a lot fewer times than before. Maybe I just got the right velocity and force needed to open it gently :) I also installed just a few critical apps. Before I messed with Ultimate screen rotate etc.

But it now happens more when closing the keyboard. However, I'll rather buy new one, just ot have a backup of this great phone just in case.

Do you have any experiences with this shop? It seems to me too much $40+shipping for that cable. Probably I'll just order another one from ebay, preferably new one and leave the current one for spare parts in the future.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] harowa:
I never have had Problems with GPS in OmniRom. I am back to stock since the 4.3 release (not rooted, locked BL).

With this rom I activated stamina, but the phone has a bad battary. Stock rom is more stable than OmniRom, but I also have had one random reboot with stock 4.3.

And this was short after a cold start, because sometimes I power off the phone over night.

I hope for a better stability with the next stock rom and a better battery. Maybe the new stock 9.2.A.1.199 kernel source will bring better results to CM and OmniRom.

Recently rooted and running PA rom. When I connect my N7 to my laptop, debugging is enabled & makes the connection sound but does not show in my devices & drives. I went into twrp to check systems in mount, still no luck. Can someone please help me troubleshoot this issue?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatterry:
(I cant post to the original thread, but im hoping someone here can help me please?)

Ive rooted 6 or so different android phones mainly using cf-autoroot, including an i9300, and never had any issues. But I have had a few issues rooting my 9503 using the cf-autoroot method (method #1 in this post). It aooeared to work, but SuperSU subsequently fell over, and Knox complained but after reading other posts I rectified that, but obviously not quite correctly:

After using cf-autoroot, SuperSU DID NOT appear in the apps list, but Google Play said it was installed but only presented the option to open it (not update or remove).

So I then tried flashing twrp (as per method #2 in this post) which all appeared to go successfully according to Odin. I was expecting to install superSU updater, as per step 3, but recovery mode appeared unchanged/stock so of course I couldnt flash anything as there was no option to do so. Yet there were no errors reported by Odin?

So I then got hold of the app file for SuperSU 1.93 and installed it (via Airdroid). It ran. It found knox. It removed it, and root was installed successfully (as verified by root checkers, titanium backup, droid wall and the like). So I concluded I had successfully rooted my 9305.

But when I reboot SuperSU falls over again on boot up, and the version I added via Airdroid has disappeared, and of course there is no root mode.

But I can then restore root access after a reboot simply by following the same process, namley installing the supersu apk via Airdroid.

Can anyone suggest what is the easiest way to get round this, or even why it's happening? And why is the later version of SuperSU disappearing on reboot?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatterry:
non persistent SU after rooting Android 4.3 - solved

OK, so Im still unsure how I ended up successfully rooted ,but then reverting back to a non-working or incompatible SU version on reboot (presumably the version installed via cf-root?). It's news to me that an app installed via standard means can be overridden for any reason on reboot. One day someone might explain that or tell me the appropriate phrase to use for my friend google so he can explain it to me.

So what I was then trying to do was install a custom recovery so I could flash the latest SU, as per OP. Try as I might I cant. Even removing the battery once TWRP has been transferred using Odin the standard recovery still prevails. So that one is still unresolved.

But in the meantime, as with most well written apps, the answer is within SU itself. Going into Options in the Su installed via the standard app installer, I selected the option to install that SU as a binary. And it worked, so now SU persists across reboots.

Just in case someone else has the same issue, although judging by all the replies I suspect not (or maybe everyone else is able to post to the original thread, although I dont see this exact problem or solutio there).

If it didnt help anyone, sorry for wasting your time!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Olivier_V:
