[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamjimmy:
Thanks for replying.

Yes I am on stock Kernel. Just used Chainfire's root to root the phone and unlock the bootloader. I used ADB/fastboot to apply the 4.4.2 update.

The sound is fine from the speaker. The music and everything else is fine. Even the notifications are a little louder in 4.4.2 than they were in 4.4.0.

It's just that the earpiece volume is very low while making calls when I have the phone to my ear. Everything else is great. The battery is excellent. I use ART runtime.

Should I reapply the 4.4.2 update using the ADB install method? Will that help? Can you please tell me how to wipe the cache of Sound/Music FX? I wiped the cache of the whole phone. I went into Recovery and Wiped cache partition. That did not help as well.

I am wondering whether this is a hardware defect on my phone or Google intentionally lowered the earpiece volume in 4.4.2.

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RevelationOmega:
Not hardware defect, volume is fine everywhere else as you said. Try redoing and push after wiping musicfx, this can be done by settings> apps> go to all tab>find musicfx> wipe. Try that first and reboot.

Ice looked around and it seems Kitkat has bug with Bluetooth volume levels for stock. My other solution would be, if you want, a custom ROM, or to check out ViperFX to replace the musicfx as default sound effects (under settings and sound tab) (which contains Bluetooth MODs and Super Quality mode). Personally used this and works amazingly with Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamjimmy:
I've also started using viper4Android in the High quality mode. It works really well with Music. But it doesn't do so well when making calls with earpiece. The voice starts to distort, cut and crack. So while using calls, I generally disable phone speaker in Viper4Android.

I just cleared cache. Will try to install Android 4.4.2 again. As I said before, all sounds are ok (music, phone speaker call ring, notification etc). It's just the earpiece volume which is really low. Are you able to make phone calls fine using the earpiece (without using a headset)?

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RevelationOmega:
Yes, but Viper audio is best with Super Audio (its not battery draining as claimed), its just as normal as high quality yet call quality is excellent. Try this as well. I've used headset now and again, no issues so see how the reinstall goes. But I would highly recommend the super quality very much. Try and see if you like. Also, if you have no objections, custom kernels have great sound support (such as faux sound) that can also fix and greatly improve sound/Bluetooth quality. Report when reflash done and methods you tried.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamjimmy:
Thanks for the suggestions. I installed Viper4android with Super Audio. It definitely makes a difference while using the headset. It doesn't do much to the earpiece in call volume. That remains the same.

Other than that I've cleared the cache and wiped cache paritition. Is there any way to just reinstall 4.4.2 on top of 4.4.2 again?

My phone is stock recovery rooted with chainfire's autoroot. When 4.4.2 came, I just installed it using ADB and stock recovery (update using Zip). Can I do this again without losing any data? Or will i have to reflash system to stock and then start over?

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You can just fastboot flash the system.img
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamjimmy:
Thank you. If I do this, I won't be losing any data and the phone will work as is?

So I need to extract system.img from the factory image of 4.4.2 from the google servers.

Then the ADB command is:

fastboot flash system system.img

Could you please confirm before I do this. Thanks.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
I'm going to guess its no different than tap as a battery killer, but that's a guess. Tho in both cases the phone is waiting anxiously for a tap or slide....and either way battery is plummeting as it wait. LOL

Haven't actually tried swipe tho. Didn't like the sounds of it. Double tap yeah....but slide doesn't sound as appealing. ;)

i think there is no wake up screen om gmd,just turning it off,i mosly need wake up sreen
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipTD:
Ah, yes, you're right about that, and, moreover, Tasker's (Secure Settings) "Wake Device" function could be activated with the screen off only by an accelerometer gexture, not a tap on the screen (I'm not even sure about that, though).

Well, at any rate, you should try Touch Control for yourself. I have not noticed any immoderate battery use over the past three months during which I have had it installed, and it's very handy.

---------- Post added at 05:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 AM ----------

kj2112's used the phrase,

"Haven't actually tried swipe tho. Didn't like the

sounds

[sic] of it. Double tap yeah....but slide doesn't

sound

as appealing."

In this case, the verb "to sound" is being used in an idiomatic expression which means "to give the impression that", "to seem", or "to appear". kj2112 was saying, in essence, "I did not try Touch Control's slide-to-wake feature because it did not seem to be something which I would like".

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannybee1:
Hey guys,

Does anyone no of anyway to disable the power button if the screen is locked. My wife recently had her phone stolen and it just got me thinking about the security of my phone. There seems to be plenty you can do to protect the actual working rom, apps and personal data, but with the screen locked there is nothing to stop a thief from just simply holding the power button down to turn off the phone, Or even getting into bootloader and factory resetting the device to wipe it clean and have a fresh unsecured working device. If there was some kind of app or mod to just prevent the phone from being tuned off at the security screen, then android device manager wont be disabled or wiped and nether would the eset security that I use. Or maybe even an app or mod to prevent getting to the bootloader or recovery to wipe the phone. I am on a rooted and s off'd device.

Any suggestions much appreciated.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannybee1:
Thanks for the reply mate, I will have a look into this and see what I can figure out
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannybee1:
This mod is great, has function to disable power button on lockscreen. Doesn't stop the simulate battery pull if you hold the button down long enough though, but I guess that would be dangerous to do that. At least it is some security to the power button. Thanks for your help.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wobzy:
Hey guys,

I have created counters for whatsapp and wechat using tasker variables in zooper.

They work in the sense that when I run them in tasker, the respective counter changes in my zooper widgets.

Also when I open the corresponding app, my counter reset task does it's job bringing the count in my zooper widgets down to 0.

However, when I receive an actual message and have a waiting notification, the counters don't reflect it.

Anyone got an idea off hand or should I provide specifics?

Cheers.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GermainZ:
I haven't used Tasker for a while, but is your notification profile (not task, I'm talking about the profile conditions) checking the value of NEWWAPP? Not sure why it would be doing that.

I'd add some toasts/notifications to debug it, and know when the relevant profile is getting triggered.

BTW, what do you mean when you say the counter does not reflect it? Does it not increase at all, or does it increase too much?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wobzy:
Not sure what you mean by the first bit.

I have a persistent notification it does indicate the NO*** profiles are triggered when the apps are open.

But no it doesn't indicate any activity for the NEW*** profiles when the relevant app has a waiting notification.

And yeah the counter does not change at all upon pending notification.

But the ZW counters change correctly +1 when I run the task in Tasker.

[Gionee M2] mundraguda:
The Gionee M2 has a MT6582 Mediatek chipset.

Follow the Gionee guide on their site for upgrading to KitKat, before you start the process, replace the recovery.img file in the ROM file you downloaded and extracted and replace it with a CWM or Carliv touch recovery file that works for the JB versions, this will give you a custom recovery (power button + up key when booting)

The 800Mb+ KitKat ROM update file has about 300mb of pure bloatware, unknown games etc. :(

ROOT:

Enable USB debugging

Download SuperSU from the playstore (we will use it to replace the chinese SU file later)

Download RootMaster (google it), this is an apk file probably made by the same chinese dev's who made Vroot

Make sure wifi is on, run RootMaster, all text is chinese, but the press to root button is english, it works, if it doesnt the first time try again (dont press anything else, it has a ton of crapware)

It should prompt that your phone is rooted, give it some time, it actually downloads a chinese version of SU

Now run SuperSU, it will replace the chinese version with the familiar english SuperSU ( although the chinese SU app with the lion emblem and chinese text will still be on your phone)

I recommend doing a full factory reset at this stage and using a root uninstaller app to remove all traces of this chinese RootMaster SU

Xposed Framework:

The amigo system resources interferes with Xposed you can still get it to install the framework by first installing the Xposed apk and then going to the settings of the Xposed installer and checking the box "Disable resources API", this will mean GravityBox WILL fail.

-------------------------------------------------------

Framaroot Doesn't work anymore

The best way to root this is to use Framaroot, Barahir exploit.

Although the Framaroot page on XDA does not list this as a compatible device (yet) it works really well.

All credits for Framaroot go to alephzain : here

------------------

This still works

BACKUP ROM WITH MTKTOOLS:

Download the awesome MTK Droid Root & Tools by rua1 from here

There are many detailed tutorials for using the actual tool ( I used v2.5.3) with detailed pictures etc., I wont reproduce them here, but before you read and follow the tutorials, make sure, your phone is rooted, you have the ADB drivers for your MT6582 chipset and the microsd card you put inside your phone is formatted inside the phone otherwise the backup will throw an error

Create & Install CWM:

Dev rua1's MTKTOOLS can also create a CWM image automatically from the boot.img that is created in the above step. There are detailed tutorials already available on many sites that show step by step how to do this. Installing CWM is up to you, either via Mobile Uncle Tools from the playstore (recommended) and the freshly minted CWM image or via SP Flash Tools using the Backup of ROM created with MTKTOOLS
[Gionee M2] mundraguda:
Getting to Recovery - Hardware Keys

Getting directly to CWM when the phone is shutdown requires the following key press combination:

For KitKat:

Power button + UP volume button gets you to a custom recovery (should you have one)

Power button + down volume button gets you into Factory Mode (Gionee Factory Mode)

For JB:

Press Volume Keys UP/DOWN and Power button simultaneously

Let go once you reach a screen that shows 3 options, here choose recovery, it will then boot directly to CWM

[Gionee M2] mundraguda:
Xposed Framework & Stock / Custom ROM's

Xposed Framework works fine on the rooted Gionee M2.

While several modules (like Xprivacy) work, GravityBox via Xposed download fc's, use the GravityBox Apk instead

As for M2 Stock ROM, I suggest take a backup of your own phone ROM, there is little chance that Gionee will make stock ROM's available for M2 (a very new device) anytime soon.

For other Gionee ROM's (stock) external sites like androidXDA have a few ROM's for download but none for M2

There are no custom ROM's for M2, if you want a smoother/cleaner experience try uninstalling some bloatware and change the DPI using an Xposed module.
