love the M8 for a skinned android phone, very very happy with my decision

I have both a Nexus 5 and the M8 and I actually like the Nexus better. It is smaller so it is easier to handle. I don't have huge hands. The M8 is pretty though. I will use the M8 as my back up for a while.

Hello,

First of all it's against the rules to bump topics within 24 hours of your previous post.

Now about your problem, it does look like a hardware defect to me. You could try to factory reset it but if it's a hardware related, you can't do anything other than replacing the screen/faulty part...
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Monkey Chops:
Hi,

Been having a battery draining issue on my 8.4, something called Media is constantly hogging the battery and in many instances is using more power than the screen. The Media icon is blue with a downward arrow and I can't find a way to stop it. I did a lot of reading about this but cant find a fix other than to remove any corrupted media files. I removed the sd card as that is the only place I keep photos and vids, but it is still killing my battery really quickly.

This isn't the mediaserver process by the way, just Media.

Any ideas please people?

Thanks.

Don't see it on my tab. maybe something baked into a 3rd party app?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] apprentice:
This is a well known issue especially with Samsung devices. It's the media scanner having problems with (usually) certain files on an SD card. Just Google "Media scanner causing battery drain" and you will find a fix.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] thornev:
IIRC you need to store an empty file named .nomedia in the root of your SD card to stop the scanning. Don't forget the leading period.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Monkey Chops:
Thanks for the replies and suggestions, I'll give the empty file thing a try tomorrow.

I did find lots of info about similar things but not quite the same. In the end, I managed to kill a couple of processes relating to the download manager and then I unmounted the sd card, rebooted and remounted and its been ok since.

Thanks :good:
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Monkey Chops:
An update on this.

The .nomedia file placed in the root of the sdcard does indeed stop the media server activity, but putting it in the root will stop any of your media files / photos etc from being visible in the gallery. I have 3 folders on the sd root, android, DCIM and one I can't re!member the name of. Adding the .nomedia file to all but the DCIM folder seems to do the trick, but I still have no media files in the gallery.

Can't seem to find a way to make it rescan the files so they appear back in the gallery, anyone know how that is done please?

Thanks again :good:

Hi together

I've tried to flash the Android Revolution Rom to my HTC One. Unfortunately after that it won't start up (stuckin bootloop)I tried it several times, but there was no change.

So I decided to try an other ROM. My problem is now, how can I copy the .zip File of this new ROM to my device, without the possibility to boot up and use adb?

Do you have an idea how i can push the .zip to my device or another possibility for pushing another ROM to my storage on the device, or also an idea why it won't start up?

Thanks for your help and your time

Hi,

I am new on this forum, I am happy to see that there is a real life development and improvement on android systems :)

I just want to share with you some concepts of multiwindow which are really impressives ! I think that you saw it on youtube, but I am enjoying to have a such app on my new device !

Tieto concept: /watch?v=cwvxWIt30lU

The perfect Ixonos concept: /watch?v=1ltxfMCNlNc

I don't know nothing about codes but I just put this topic, to know how I can have the same app.

I saw Xmultiwindow on Xposed, but it is not floating windows and it seems that there are some bugs with non-common apps.

How can we imagine and code the perfect MultiFloatingWindow app ? Do you know an available app which is like these concepts ?

Thanks for reading

I am Hoping that I express well myself and you would forgive me for my english...

I know this may sound stupid, but what's the difference between a smartphone & PocketPC ? I've got a v1640 and it boots up with windows mobile 5.0 and the information says it's running pocket PC. But....on some web sites they call it a smartphone and when I install software for smartphones, sometimes they run and other times it says "up yours". And then I also get the same problems when running software for Pocket PC's, does it have to be PocketPC 2002, 2003 or windows mobile 5.0 to run properly. Funny thing is on Microsoft's site they call it a smartphone and vodaphone call it a smartphone but when I tried to run the tweaks2k2 program for smartphones, guess what ? It said "Get Stuffed, this program only runs on smartphones and mine is running PocketPC ! (You know what I mean). So the question is do i install software for a smartphone or PocketPC ?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] BoSJo:
You got a "Windows Mobile PocketPc(PPC)" Running "Windows Mobile 5.0(WM5)"

Use only programs that have support for PPC, and WM5

That some call it a SmartPhone, just shows how smart they are ;-)

Until the platforms have merged you can use a simple rule of thumb

Pocket PC = touch screen and stylus

Smartphone = no touch screen, no stylus.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K4L:
Hey guys!

So I am using a stock samsung 4.4.2 firmware on my 9505, and I have gotten very used to the keyboard and I really like it.

I also love the stock samsung gallery app.

I just bought a LG G Pad 8.3 tablet (also running 4.4.2), and I would really like to use the gallery and keyboard from my S4.

My S4 is rooted so I just took the .apks from the system/app folder, transfered them to my rooted G Pad, put them in the system/app and fixed the permissions.

It did NOT work.

So I tried installing them as normal apps, it did NOT work.

Is there anything I'm missing? Maybe some lib files or something?

If anyone could tell me what files I need from my 9505 in order to get the stock samsung 4.4.2 gallery+keyboard to work, I'd be really happy!

If not, find a Radio that is compatible with your device AND the CM version and install.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dec1153:
Ok, our hyundai t7 often sleeps for no reason and does not react when you push the power button .Here is my guide to fix this.

1) Press and hold power button for 2 secs and then wait for 10 secs . See if tablet responds

2) Hold physical home button for 2secs, sede if tablet responds

3) Use pin or toothpick and insert to reset hole. Look around for button inside and push firmly down. Hole is found on the bottom of the device between 3.5mm jack and headphone port. Check if tablet responds

4) Charge device. While plugged in press reset hole. Check for life ( and make sure led charging led is on, if not ur device is dead, SORRY!)

5) While charged hold reset hole for 20 secs followed by shorf press power.

6) Same as above but hold power longef.

IF ALL ELSE FAILS, LEAVE TO CHARGE ALL DAY AND REPEATS STEPS TOMMORROW.

If this helped ( I know its a samll community) thank me!;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Honka:
As per the title, I have a question regarding push notifications. I currently own a SGS4 for which I can use for testing, however this appears to be happening for all Android devices in this environment.

Whenever an android is connected to the Corporate Wifi here in our office push notifications don't seem to come through at all. This has been noticed to be happening to gmail and facebook however is also stopping push notifications from other apps including but not limited to geonet quake and various games.

The moment the device disconnects from this wireless network, the notifications all come through successfully.

When manually opening apps while on the Corporate Wifi, Gmail for example, the new emails will successfully come through to the app if you request it to update.

Wondering what it could possibly be on this wifi network which is managing to stop all push notifications so that we may attempt to put in a workaround for staff, or alternatively, a workaround to provide all users with android devices to get these working again. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] illidanx:
Today, Microsoft removed the "Message History" section from my Outlook account, so I can no longer use a well-known trick to view my sms history. I notice that in the WP8.1 emulator, I can now log in to my MS account and my sms history are synced to the emulator. I am trying to take advantage of this feature to retrieve the file that stores my sms from the emulator image.

So far, I have managed to merge the emulator snapshot with the base .vhd and mount the resulting virtual disk to view all the files. Hell, I can even decompile the stock apps to view their source code...However, I cannot find where my sms are stored. There is one suspicious folder that has modification time at the moment the sms are synced.

"K:\SharedData\Comms\Unistore\data" where K is the Data volume.

In this folder, I can find all my emails in plain text and a bunch of other files in binary/encrypted text. I hope the binary/encrypted files are not my sms. Anyone has any idea?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] illidanx:
I got the answer to my own problem thanks to this post. http://resources.infosecinstitute.com/windows-phone-digital-forensics-2/

The name of the file is still store.vol but it is in another location compared to WP7.5. You can find it in Data\Users\WPCOMMSSERVICES\APPDATA\Local\Unistore . If you want to follow my steps and there are any questions, feel free to post below.

Edit: now I need to find a way to read this EDB database file, including the date and time the sms were sent.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] DarkD1988:
Hmm, don't know but EDB Files are used on Exchange 2003 Servers.

I had a Software to open such files. But this piece of Software is really expensive.

When i'm in the Office I will look for the name of the Software.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] illidanx:
that file is also the exchange database used in windows mobile. I heard the format is different for different purposes and MS has never provided the documentation for this format.

If you trust me an there is nothing important in this edb file you can Upload them to an Hoster/dropbox

But we (my Company) have a full version with add ons. So I think there is a bigger chance.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
EDB (on WP7, at least) was Embedded DataBase. The API for them is documented here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa914733.aspx

I know WP8 has some mobile DB APIs (even though it uses NT, not CE) although I haven't tried them at all. You could also try using the Mail API (MAPI) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/cc842118(v=office.15).aspx for documentation.

There was a homebrew app on WP7 (hosted here on XDA) that extracted SMS for backup, because there wasn't an SMS backup feature. I don't know if it would be useful with WP8, even as a reference, though it may be worth checking to see if the source for it is available.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] illidanx:

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1742287612000874
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Sorry, I should have been more clear: WP7 used CE internally, so the WM6.5 APIs worked on it. WP8 uses NT instead of CE, but has some of the embedded database APIs anyhow (because the code was imported straight from WP7, maybe?) so it might still work. You'd need to find the library with the relevant exports, though; that part of the documentation will be wrong for WP8.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MonsieurJohnny:
Hi.

I purchased my Nexus 4 in December 2012. Never had a problem with it.

A few days ago I let it charge overnight. When I woke up, the screen was black and there was no charging LED. It was on CM 11 Snapshot M4.

I tried resetting it, but nothing worked, so I left it alone in the charger the next night to no avail. I can get into download mode and I can get a red LED if I hold the power while charging, but that's it.

Now I've tried a lot of methods of fixing it. I've tried every combination of button presses and whatnot and have tried different cables and outlets/USB ports. I've tried the thread on how to unbrick a Nexus 4. I've tried LGNPST and get a "Masterbin... 512th sector" error at 85% and I've tried LGFlashTool and that failed.

When I go into download mode, my computer detects "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port".

I really don't know what to do at this point. I'm sure there is a way to fix it. Please help.

Wondering if AOSP roms will be easily flashable for the Verizon S5? Specifically LiquidSmooth. I know newer S4's etc have a hard time installing AOSP roms with SafeStrap. Think same will remain true for S 5?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
Non-stock roms would result in certain features ceasing to work. For example, I'd say the fingerprint scanner will never work outside of stock. Also, the camera is likely to lose a lot of features, the on the fly HDR mode and multi focus shots being two of them, not to mention an overall loss of quality in comparison to the Samsung camera drivers. The camera for me is the primary reasons for upgrading from the S4. This is the first Android phone I will own where I'm not that bothered about non-stock roms being available, TW isn't as offensive as it used to be and it's improved even further on the S5.

As for the question, the open source nature of the Snapdragon architecture will almost certainly result in AOKP/AOSP/CM based roms becoming available, and the locked bootloaders on the American carriers will be overcome eventually. Just don't expect it to happen immediately or for that many of them to appear as the majority of reputable developers will probably be avoiding the S5 after the Knox debacle. Which is a shame but understandable, Samsung have really f**ked up with Knox. I wouldn't be getting an S5 if it wasn't for being offered a deal that was too good to turn down.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] richie138:
So I got these micro-USB to magnetic charger adapters off eBay. Bad idea.

I plugged it into the phone, saw the green charging LED come on.

Put my phone down, the next thing I know, my screen is off, all LEDs are off...

Now I can't turn my phone on, can't charge it in the dock.

When I connect to wall power (via microusb/charging port, NOT magnetic) I get the LED rapidly blinking. After some time (estimate >10 min), the LED turns off.

If I connect to computer, the LED will stay on solid red for 3 seconds, turn off briefly, stay on 3 seconds, turn off briefly. Looking in device manager this seems to coincide with the devices refreshing...? Windows noticed the phone was connected but doesn't actually recognize it.

I had previously had unlocked bootloader and root. Now fastboot just says "waiting for device"

Tried holding down power and volume up.

Tried going into fastboot holding volume up when connecting to computer.

Tried holding down power button (with a paper clip) several times (for up to 60 seconds).

What's going on!? What should I do?! Help! I just got this phone a week ago :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Power connected around the wrong way? That could have damaged the power circuit ...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
Yeah exactly what Blue said. However there is a circuit in your device that stops damage happening. This circuit is replaceable.

But even if this was damaged it would still charge. It just wouldn't detect when your device was charging or not.

So what you describe would seem more severe. What voltage was the AC running?

It would be very rear to over volt a smartphone (although it can happen)

1) Try leaving it on charge (even if no LED's are on) for an hour.

2) Then hold the red power off button.

3) enter fastboot mode, plugging in the micro USB.

4a) open flash tool and flash another FTF

(you will get to a part on flashtool saying connect a device)

4b) try to enter fastboot mode on your device over and over again. (while watching the screen of your laptop to see when it gets connected)

It may just work.

I remember helping another user have the same problem when he thought it was wrecked due to power spike. He managed to get flashtool to detect it even though it showed no screen image. Then it was right as rain again.

Worth a try
