Hi,

I have run into a problem half a dozen times now when I turn on the phone and the backlight isn't working and pressing the backlight button doesn't make a difference.

When I check the settings the backlight levels have been set to Zero.

I haven't yet had a chance to track down why it is happening, but was wondering if anyone else had come across the problem.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] wayneski:
Hello there!

Been lurking for a bit but finally decided to join in.

Not got much to add really as I am still learning about the device, however I am suffering the same problem. Happened quite a few times now and I can't discern a pattern.

Any geniuses got any ideas?

Great forum by the way. Learnt lots already.

All I can tell you is yes, it's happened to me before. Almost gave me a heart-attack, because I though the machine was failing - the light just switch off on its own accord while I was reading an e-book at night.

Still no idea why.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Triple Sub:
I have been suffering the same problem since the rom update. It seems to happen mostly if I have some program active in the background when the device powers itself down from idle or the clamshell is closed.

For me, holding the power button down for a few seconds seems to take it back to the defined level setting.

Clueless as to why it happens though.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] newbie2:
Well, I'm not alone

This has just started happening to me, too.

I usually have to do a soft reset to be able to get the backlight back on. Once it's back up and running, I go into my settings and find nothing has changed since I set the backlight timers for both battery power and external power. I've even got it set to turn the backlight back on when pushing a button or tapping the screen -- and yet, when I do that, nothing happens. I've tried holding the power button down for a few seconds, but all that does is give me a soft reset.

I've been running the AKU2.3 ROM for about a week, and this problem started occurring yesterday on my Cingular 8125. I'd sure like to know what's causing it and how to fix it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drenta:
Hi, Would like to backup partition from an operational LG G2 phone to a LG G2 phone that is stuck in download mode with corrupt partitions. How would I go about this?:confused:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jparnell8839:
Hi, I'm new to the G2 forums, but you could try this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2582142

Just backup the partitions using dd on the good phone:

dd if=/dev/sdb2 of=/home/user/Desktop/sbl1.img

Then restore it to the corrupt one

dd if=/home/user/Desktop/sbl1.img of=/dev/sdb2

Keep in mind, you will have to change sdb2 in your commands with what your computer is reporting as the proper partition. Your good phone could report aboot partition as being sdb4 while the corrupt phone could report aboot as being sdc5. Use the chart on the link I provided, and make absolutely sure of your commits prior to issuing the command.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drenta:
Sounds simple enough. Will test tomorrow and report my results. Thank you! jparnell8839.
[Shield Q&A] Duckers McQuack:
Is there a program that can take backup of the program data/savegames off of the shield?
[Shield Q&A] LiveMChief:
Titanium backup, but you need root for it, best backup program, period.

For non root use Helium, but I heard its not very good, but give it a try if you do not have root.
[Shield Q&A] Duckers McQuack:
That's the paradox right there xD

I need titanium which i already own (from when i had galaxy s4) but i need root to use it, and i need to take backup before rooting the shield xD

But if i restore all the apps (redownload them) and have taken backup of the entire android folder on the internal sdcard, and then restoring the android folder after, will all the savegames from my 49 games still be there then?
[Shield Q&A] LiveMChief:
Yes, savegames and other data is is saved in the android data folder.

The obb folder is the games data, but you will need to download it again from the store to gets the apk's but when you start the game it should run a verify check for the obb files.

Also just unlocking the shields bootloader reformats it, which you only have to do once, rooting it does not reformat.
[Shield Q&A] Duckers McQuack:
Ok, backup of obb is complete, then unlock the bootloader, root it, then download the games, then restoring the obb folder.

But what about updates? Since nvidia fully supports rooting of shield, will there not be any conflicts during OTA updates?

Cause all my android phones failed with the OTA updates. (and 2 bricked during flash restore attempt)
[Shield Q&A] LiveMChief:
NO, backup the android folder, there are two folders in it, data and obb, the data folder is the savegames, the obb is the games itself.

OTA are supported, but you have to reroot after every update.

Also the shield can't "brick" if anything does happen, nvidia has the shields system image on there website, so you can just boot into safe mode and restore so don't worry, but even then, as long as you just read the instructions everything will be fine.
[Shield Q&A] Duckers McQuack:
Haha yeah, i took a backup of both the data and obb folder just in case, no worries there :P

And can you link me the system image so i got it ready just in case? :)
[Shield Q&A] LiveMChief:

Recovery Image #68 [USA OTA 3.2]

Right?
[Shield Q&A] LiveMChief:
Yes, tthat's the newest version of the shields firmware.
[Shield Q&A] Duckers McQuack:
Wait.. why does it say on the nvidia shield forum that update 67 is the newest? is the 68 an beta?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syazwanimator:
Hi guys, so this what I found of the performance of the racing game Drift Mania: Street Outlaws from different ROMS:

Rooted 4.4.2 Poland TW - Very laggy

Switch to CM11 - No lag at all

Switch to X-Note v12 - The game became lag again

So my question is, why is it that the game perfrom smoothly on CM11 and not on the other two? And is it possible to achieve that smooth performance on X-Note as I don't want to revert back to AOSP rom as I'll be losing the S-View and native App2SD ability.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
Well you just compared two TouchWiz ROMs and an AOSP ROM.

Heavy with a lot of junk (TW) vs. an empty bottle (AOSP)

There could be bugs in the TW Framework that might be causing the lag.

[G Pad 8.3 General] enord1321:
I just got my Verizon LTE G Pad 8.3, and got it set up. I did the light bleed test, and if I drop my brightness below 20% there is light bleed at the bottom of the tablet, but it's acceptable to me. The questions I have are with the accessories I bought for it. First off are the front camera, and the light sensor in a different place then on the wifi G Pad 8.3? I bought a pack of screen protectors from Amazon and the front camera and light sensor do not line up with the cutouts. . Also I bought one of the IVSO cases and I notice that it doesn't really lock in tight in the upper left hand corner into the case. The bottom snaps in tight, but the top corner pops out with just the smallest amount of pressure is that usual for this case?
[G Pad 8.3 General] RaiderWill:
Conrgratulations..

Congrats On Your New G-Pad.. :cool:

For sure the answer is NO on the case.. that is NOT suppose to happen.
[G Pad 8.3 General] enord1321:
update

I went back and checked the amazon reviews, since I bought the acessories. I am not the only one with this issue. It appears the Lte version has the same height and width, but a different depth. Also placement of the front camera and light sensor is different from the wifi version. So heads up to those wanting to buy cases and screen protectors.
[G Pad 8.3 General] burgeke:
The moko slim folio case works well for me but I did notice some bulge at the bottom lip of the case. Camera cut out is perfectly in the right place.
[G Pad 8.3 General] rfarrah:
IVSO case didn't work for me; almost spilled my new tab onto the floor since it didn't fit right. Sent it back and (due to time constraints) got the Incipio offered at the VZW store. Learning to like it.
[G Pad 8.3 General] burgeke:
Interestingly, the incipio offered at VZW carries the same model # as the one from Amazon.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Ravynmagi:
Verizon's website says the G Pad 8.3 is 0.35 inches thick. While LG's website says it's 0.33 inches thick. Assuming someone's specs aren't incorrect (which happens a lot), it seems to confirm the Verizon model is thicker for some reason.
[G Pad 8.3 General] burgeke:
Yep. I can confirm that the incipio case from Amazon doesn't fit. I have the same problems as the OP. The top left pops out.
[G Pad 8.3 General] rfarrah:
Not sure I understand the connection. IVSO case is very different from the Incipio case.
[G Pad 8.3 General] burgeke:
Pretty simple. The wifi and LTE versions are confirmed to be slightly different sizes so the wifi cases may not fit. See the prior posts.
[G Pad 8.3 General] tengtengvn:
I have the ebay TPU case and it fits the LTE G Pad.
[G Pad 8.3 General] DonS:
Is the Verizon version carrier locked?

I have an AT&T SIM with an unlimited HSPA+ data plan that my work pays for and I'm wondering if it will work in the Verizon G Pad. I know it won't get LTE speeds because of the plan its on. In a Verizon iPad 3 I can get HSPA+ speeds of about 6 Mbps. It gets around the same speed in my Nexus 7 3G tablet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Orion78:
OK so I was plagued with the Power Button from Hell issue. Phone would constantly reboot randomly, turn the screen on and off and would take forever to turn back on sometimes..

So heres a video I found to show you have to take apart your phone " If your brave enough " to get to the power button. * Video is in Italian but just mute it and you can see the steps.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jfG9vrVJkY

What Ive dont after I opened the guts, I took a cue tip and swabbed both the internal button itself on the circuit board with rubbing alchohol and I gently popped out the button on the shell and cleaned the area good. Then I took a * lil * bit of " Gun Oil " and lubed the button on the circuit board and pushed it a few dozen times. WD40 will work if you dont own a gun lol. Just spray a dab on the swab and lube the button.

After reassembling the phone I havent had an issue since.

Hope this helps
[Nexus 7 General] SkOrPn:
Has anyone heard about the performance increases that F2FS received recently regarding the latest Linux Kernels 3.11 - 3.14? Apparently, F2FS is a serious contender when used on NAND based devices. I wonder how many years it will be before us Android users get linux kernels like this?

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_314_ssdfs&num=2
[Nexus 7 General] adomol:
Hopefully it isn't years till that happens. The difference on my N7 since I've switched to All-F2FS is very incouraging. It would be nice to make it a built in option to use for those who are willing to give this new file system a spin.
[Nexus 7 General] SkOrPn:
Yes it looks like it has a ways to go but man oh man it sure speedied up my device. And I agree, kinda like they did with ART. I wonder why Samsung is doing this though? I sure hope they don't plan on building the next generation file system and then turn around and try and get companies to pay license fee's for it. Lol
[Nexus 7 General] T-Keith:
The moto x already uses f2fs,and it has great performance for the hardware.
[Nexus 7 General] SkOrPn:
Let's hope that trend spreads to other devices and spills over to other manufacturers.
[Nexus 7 General] Juhful:
Very fast!

The difference with using F2FS is quite noticeable, very pleased so far, and also I hope other developers start making more roms and kernels for this file system.
[Nexus 7 General] SkOrPn:
Me too... However, until Google adopts it, it will always be considered a MOD. I just hope a dev some where figures out how to make it an easy transition. Right now it is scaring a lot of people when they make a tiny mistake, do not realize it and then are asked for a password to access their own device... lmao
[Nexus 7 General] Juhful:
True

But I have only been using Android for about a month so if I could do this then anyone should be able too lol The big problem seems people are not FORMATTING just wiping.

GUMMY

​

I hadn't seen any Gummy updates for our device in a while, so thought I'd make a current build and share...

If/when nightlies start again, I will likely drop this. But here's a build for now.

Included kernel is pretty much cm stock.

Gummy ROM is made for speed, stability and to stay as closely in line with AOSP as possible while still supporting a large amount of devices and giving you all of the features you love.

Features:

* New base built from AOSP

* Status Bar Mods

* Hardware Key Mod

* Many Wallpapers

* Performance Control

* Application Permission Controls

* Carrier Label Options

* Lock clock widget

* QuickSettings

* Theme Manager

Device Specific:

Whats not working...

* misc QuickSettings buttons may still have issues (let us know what you find)

* what else (you tell us)

ChangeLOG:

Please review out Gerrit instance to keep up with changes daily...

Instructions for installations:

1. Download ROM

2. Download Gapps

3. Push to sdcard

4. Reboot Recovery

5. Wipe Data and Cache

6. Install ROM

7. Install Gapps

8. Reboot System

Contributions:

- Thank you to Cyanogenmod for device and hardware repositories.

Without this, porting * * Gummy to QCOM devices would have been nearly impossible.

- Thank you to Google for the best source code.

There is also always the option of flashing your phone back to stock form if you can access the download mode (volume down+power in many cases). But you need the correct flashing program and a stock rom that fits EXACTLY your phone or you could brick it even further. As krishneelg3 stated, it would help us help you if you could give us more info, like the model of your phone, what android version it was on before you fiddled with it, etc. Just get back to us on that and we'll help you out as much as possible.

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] hummingbird:
my battery was getting low and i knew i wouldnt be able to charge it for a day or two, so i thought id take off the battery to save its little bit of life for a moment when i needed to make a phone call. when i put the battery back in, first it asked me to set date and time, then took me to normal screens, but all my data was gone! contact phone numbers gone, text and picture messages gone. where did they go? can i get them back? its critical data that i cant lose. its been 3 months since this happened. can someone please give me some advice
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] MaskedMarauder:
Your main battery has two parts, one that provides power to the device for normal use and one that provides the power to retain you data for several days.

There is a third battery inside the device but that will only retain the data for 20 minutes or so.

So if you take the battery off for more than 20 minutes then you must first back up your data using something like Sprite.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] hummingbird:
took off battery

i didnt back up anything. whenever i send or received a message i saved it on the phone. and had several phone numbers saved also. the battery was off the device for a few hours. when i put it back on, it asked me to set time and date and then the main screens came up - but none of my info showed. so can it be retrieved?? i had very very important details on the phone. i was writing a book of poetry and the info was on the phone and i didnt back anything up. i only had the phone a week and wasnt aware of how the phone worked in regards to saving data any other way except for on the phone itself. do i have any h0pe to retrieve my data?

u should have kept the battery in there.

WM2003 keeps a portion of the battery to keep the data safe for 72h

Use apktool for mobile.

Download it from here

http://code.google.com/p/apktool/downloads/list

Use apktool4.4_armel.zip (I use this version)

or apktool4.4_armhf.zip (This is recommended by creator)

Use any one which works on your phone.

1) Download and extract above files to SD Card.

2) Path should be /sdcard/apktool

3) Install apk from extracted folder.

4) Open apktool. Give Superuser access.

5) If it gives error "data not found in /sdcard" something, then go to sdcard/(folder where you extracted, long press and click set as apktool data folder).

6) Go to /system/framework & long click framework-res.apk and click "Import as Framework"

7) Do same with twframework-res.apk (If you are using Touchwiz based Samsung ROM)

8) Now installation is complete.

9) I would recommend you to make new folder in SD Card, put decompiling apks in that folder.

10) Go to folder, click (Single click, not long press) that apk and select type of required decompilation.
