Just released a new app for senior :cowboy: citizens - TilePhone.

The app is specialized for old folks who are not used for smart phones and need a simple phone for voice calls only (no SMS no whatsup etc.).

If you have a spare smartphone after an upgrade, grandpa can now use it without getting lost in all of android possibilities.

The app was developed for my 85 year old father and he uses it daily with much success, for calling his close relatives and dialing a number occasionally.

Usually smartphone have much better speaker then small dum phones, so a smart phone may be a smart choice specially if you install tilePhone and prevent the user from getting lost.

Main Features:

1. 11 speed dial buttons you can configure from the phone contacts list.

2. Hardware keys locked to prevent the user from accidentally exiting the app.

3. Configure or exit by swiping down & pressing the notification (swipe down is extremely difficult for the senior citizens we target).

This is how it looks:

The xperia sp of my friend fall in water of WC . And that don't want to on and work

... After he takes the phone from the water that work but after he off and put in the rice but now that don't work .. we have red led and white and vibarate once time . You think we have a chance to work the phone ...
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain Sweatpants:
Take it to a repair Center or if you are confident at fixing things youself you can do this:

Completely disassemble the handset clean every component with electrical contact cleaner or isopropel alcohol. Do not clean the LCD with this as it will seep between the screen and screw with the colours for weeks afterwards:D. Allow that to dry for a few hours (it evaporates pretty quickly but the condensation it causes can take longer)

Remember water does not conduct electricity its the minerals suspended in the water that conduct electricity those minerals are still inside the handset and may still be shorting it out. If you've done all that and the handset still won't turn on its dead.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vithursan:
Thanks for the quick reply. But disable they all xperia Sp is not easy.

How much cost you think in center?? I live in France. In Europe how much?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rempty:
red led and vibrate = not enought battery charge.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] no_username_available:
let it dry in the rice over night without sim/sd and with the backplate on, you shouldnt try and turn it on, instead wait till its fully dry then charge it for 2-3 hours when its done try and re-start it
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Revontheus:
Put it in a bag of silica ( the ones found in shoes ) or rice for 3 days

Do not attempt to blow dryer it that is a very bard idea

Then charge for an hour or so then hopefully it would work normally
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vithursan:
okok i will try it . What are thing if I put in rice bag and charge in same time ?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vithursan:
Thanks guys I hope the phone will work today i one i have the logo SONY after the phone have red led I put in charge if not i thing i will put in rice bag ...
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rushaan™:
If you put it on charging before putting it in rice, electricity will flow through your device which might short the motherboard or other components of the device leaving your device dead.

If I were in your place I'd have done this -

Put it in rice for 2 days under the sun --- > Put it in silica for 24 hours ----- > Deassemble and clean it with alcohol and leave it under the sun for 1 hour -------> Charge it and hope it turns back on.

What you did was kinda stupid, you charged it while it was in the rice.

The main motive to put it in rice was to get rid of the water so it doesn't short the motherboard.

Anyways,

Good Luck
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vithursan:
Lol yes I know but is not me but my friend ... I said to him to put in rice for 3 days and after charge anyway .

We will try to dissable the phone and try to on .

But we put for one night in rice and after charge now we have only the red led when you on or put in charge

[General Questions and Answers] GameX2:
Hi,

I've had CWM installed for a while on my LG P500, and and I've just flashed TWRP, being impressed by the touch possibility and other features: Terminal and file manager, mostly, with keyboard!

After I've flashed it, I was wondering about something, is this possible, in theory? If we use the hardware keys combinaison, the device boot on the Recovery Partition - so is this possible, to build a custom "recovery" image in which it'll have a "minimalist" OS (The partition is separate from Android, so) ? Like a basic music player, maybe simply in command-line with Mplayer (It was ported, but I never tested it) ? Ultimately, all this to save a lot of battery, because you won't have network (I know of airplane mode already) or other services running.

But does the recovery partition would actually support sound, or sound service?

I was just wondering about the possibility - replacing the recovery option by such app could be dangerous (You're getting rid of the few recovery option you have), and I have no skill of doing that.

Still, I was impressed by TWRP.

Unrelated question, just curious: If I wipe /System from recovery, then try to boot the normal way... LG logo will appear, and nothing will happen? Or I will get an error message?

Thank you, I'm just wondering about this.
[General Questions and Answers] GameX2:
I'm sure you know about this, XDA.. ;)

I don't ask how this would be possible, but if the recovery partition would allow something like a minimal music player to save a lot battery in extreme case (If sound is supported at all in recovery).

That could help me to know more about the Android recovery.

Thanks! =)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okmijnlp:
So I put some thin card in my Nexus' power button gap to stop the rattle (have to do this every day, it keeps falling out), well today my power button got stuck In, after some wiggling about its now actually slanted, so half of the power button (length ways) is 'pressed' in, and half isn't. It's fixed the rattle (hopefully permanent, yay!) and honestly it's an improvement (no rattle, no click when pressed, feels smoother going in), anyway!

Will this void my warranty? I tried to fix it (before I noticed the rattle dissappeared) but it wouldn't pop back out. Cheers! ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Remove the card if you ever have to turn it in for repair to be safe.

No :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akram.:
If u root u can control the charging rate using devils kernel.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hundsbuah:
you can try faux123 kernel (if you have not upgraded to KitKat). There you can enable fastcharge. For stock devices (kernels): USB 2.0: about 500mA USB 3.0 about 900mA AC: about 2000mA
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Or you could use a different charger/cable.

[Moto X Q&A] mic141414:
Hi,

I have noticed that my motorola X has now a low sound (for everthing .. notification and calls) Rang this afternoon and i did not even hear it

I checked the volume level and everything is at the maximum

Had no problem like 1 week ago.

I did not install anything related to sound.

I didn't even install anything new.

I am root, framework, gravity box

Even music is very low .. EVERYTHING is low volume despite the fact that all volume are at the maximum

Anyone had that problem please ?? any idea ?? please :(
[Moto X Q&A] dray_jr:
i have not had any issue like this but could you of possibly damaged the speaker some how and that could be why everything is so low.

what rom are you running or are you on stock rooted.
[Moto X Q&A] mic141414:
I am stock rooted

after 5-6 reboot sound is back

motox is only 2 months old and barely used

I will see if it comes back and will call motorola if that comes back
[Moto X Q&A] hbar98:
I had a similar experience with the Touchless Controls voice. My phone would have normal volumes, but I could never hear what it said back to me. I contacted Moto Support, and they said this is a known issue, and they are looking for a solution. Until then, the support lady said to use the volume rocker to turn the volume down a few times, then turn it back up. I did this, and the readout voice for the Touchless Controls was back to normal volume.

You can try this... but YMMV.
[Moto X Q&A] rsromano:
I've had similiar experiences when I was playing music, then the touchless controls would interrupt to read a message. When it was done, the music would come back on, but much quieter than before. It would usually go back to normal volume on the next song or by switching music apps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KingKash420:
Hello all,

Its been a while since I had an issue with my phone but this one is really bothering me. Last week for no reason at all I noticed my WiFi was turned off while at work. When I tried to use the drop down widget to turn it back on it would just stay gray for like 5-10 seconds then go back to the off position. So I went into settings and tried to turn it on the long way and got the same result. This was troubling to me because I had made no changes to my phone that could have effected this. So after doing some digging around online and not finding any answers I contacted Samsung tech support who was terribly uninformed about their product and offered very little help with my problem. They suggested I go into the application manager and reset the application preferences. I was skeptical because I had spent a considerable amount of time disabling all the bloatware that was not needed in the past but I did take the advice of tech support and to my surprise it did get wifi working again.. temporarily that is.

Today I did the OTA 4.4.2 Kit Kat upgrade in hopes that it would fix my issue and to my shock and surprise it did. Wifi worked flawlessly for a few hours but then all the sudden earlier today it just shut off again without notice. Now once again, it will not turn back on no matter what I try. Im thinking this could potentially be a hardware issue. If it is then why after the upgrade to 4.4.2 did it work so well for a few hours?

Any help would be much appreciated as I have chewed through nearly all of my monthly data allocation while trying to find a working fix.

Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ddg2112:
I'm having the same problem. I upgraded to the KK 4.4.2 and now my WiFi won't turn on! I'm getting the Security notice that "Your phone's security has blocked an action that is not permitted. No further action is required." So, I went to the phone security tab to see what my settings were and it is set to Normal and the only other choice is High. So, I don't want to change that setting!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Both of you guys try flashing Ktoonz newest KK kernel for tw.. If that won't work there's also something to try to fix it in the OP, or you could also try that first
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KingKash420:
Correct me if im wrong but your suggested fix would require root right?

I am running a stock unrooted rom

please help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Right.. But other than that, the only other thing I can think of is to Odin the 4.4.2 firmware and see if that would fix it, if not then its likely a hardware problem
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] ivan290:
Well, i'm trying to port the Xperia E Jelly Bean rom, using as base CM10 for Tipo, i dont know if it will work, but i'll try....

I just have a question, how can i port a kernel from xperia e (for example) and make it bootable in tipo? Have you got any guide?? i readed in the web but nothing!
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] :
Porting a kernel? Is that even possible? Do you have any experience? Porting a newer Android version requires a lot of skill, and you'll walk into a lot of errors. My advice would be to wait for the Tamsui team to fix and release CM11! Those people know what they are doing.

its on 0A.78 and i used the JB SBF. I also tried the fastboot method ,that also did not work.

im going to try the House of Moto fix. If that does not work ,my guess is its some kind of hardware issue and I will contact seller to work something out since they said it was only software that was an issue.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kschang:
I was thinking "House of Bionic" ICS first?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] B.E.McAllister:
Are you getting this right after boot? If so it maybe a hardware problem such as the antenna, that would cause it to search for a signal, either Wi-Fi or LTE, and not being able to find a signal it just keeps searching. If after you exhausted all other possibilities you may want to open her up and check all connections to make sure their tight.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] PassingThruLife:
would this work even if the phone is on JB firmware?
[AT&T LG G2] hubertzaw:
I purchased LG G2 D800 (32gb) locked to AT&T network. I wanted to unlock it with a code and tried various webstites - 3 of them replied that they cannot offer any support, 2 emailed me back with an unlock code. Codes from those 2 different websites were the same, however it did not work - I now have the last attempt left to unlock it. I tried through one of the 'shops' as well, but they couldn't help either. Can you please advise if you have a reliable way of unlocking or obtaining a code for unlocking? Is there any other way to unlock this phone? Maybe at least a way of bringing the count of tries back to 1? I also tried ringing AT&T but they could not help, as I did not have an account with them - I'm stuck.

Thanks a lot for the advice. My phone wasn't rooted (I checked with an app) so I think its runs original rom (and it's Android 4.4.2), Baseband Version M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.190082 Kernel Version 3.4.0 Build Number: KOT49I.D80020c Software Version D80020c

I have the last try (10 out of 10) to put a correct unlock code. Have you got any other suggestions? Do you know how to change the number of attempts of unlock back to 1? Thanks
[AT&T LG G2] justintime001:
unlock code???

How and where did you get an unlock code for the bootloader? I thought the ATT LG G2 32GB isn't capable of being unlocked.
[AT&T LG G2] r1nstang:
I would honestly say flash a completely stock rom...go back to square 1 with it. find the AT&T stock image. flash it back thru the LG program. then try again with the unlock code. its possible the previous owner just flashed a stock ROM to the phone. does it have stock recovery on the phone or CWM or TWRP?

hes not unlocking the bootloader. just carrier unlocking it.
[AT&T LG G2] tlopez1973:
if you have'nt unlocked it yet try this ste i got it done for $1.9 the cheapest ever http://www.unlockcode247.com
[AT&T LG G2] hubertzaw:
Apologies for not writing back sooner. I only have 1 attempt left to put the code in, so I am reluctant to try another website, since 2 did not work.

I am worried I will lock the phone indifinitely. Does anybody know how to bring the count back to 1, so it was showing attempt 1 out of 10 for putting the sim lock code in? Thanks

[Google Chromecast] Krisshp:
Saw this redit

""

Anyway since the SDK is released for Chromecast, hasn't google missed a trick?

Is this a good idea

Why doesn't google make Chromecast app be with google drive? I could upload all my files, movies, torrrents, photos and would love to have them ALL in one place and be able to cast them?

I would really consider upgrading the storage and paying for more storage, they would be able to get more $£€¥... IMO

So do you think google should do google drive Chromecast, if no why not?

Same thing with that ^ but again would like to see DRopbox have the ablitlty to stream. Things from the cloud.

Pros of this - limited space on phone storage, so drive can be used No need to run a server 24/7. Save electricity costs Assuming its cheaper considering that ^ Can view word files, homework, PDF , on big screen

Post your views :) would you like to see this?"""""

I live that idea, could be very useful. Your views ? Should google do this
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Avia can pull from Dropbox

AllCast can pull from both Dropbox and Google Drive

RealPlayer Cloud can pull from their cloud

If Google was going to do this, they would have already - because they didn't need to wait for the SDK release - they could make any Chromecast app they wanted to whenever they wanted to. :)

They could just do a straight dump/retrieve from Drive to Chromecast, but without a player app that can handle that file type, Chromecast will just get the file and not know what to do with it, just like having your browser download a file that your computer/phone doesn't have an app to open.

The trick is in the player app, and Google for the most part leaves it to the app developers to develop.

The business aspect is that if Google starts developing lots of apps for Chromecast, developers may shy away from Chromecast development in fear that Google will do what their (paid) app is doing for free.
[Google Chromecast] Krisshp:
Oh :p didn't know that. Yeah I get what you mean.

I'm guessing you must use avia, all cast or real player ,

Could I ask which one do you prefer the most ?

How much online storage in GB do real player offer?? Edit 2GB!!!!! Is that it???? :(

Does it support the other 50gb cloud storage , mega???

Thanks
