[HTC One Mini] UnXc3113D:
Hello!

Does anybody see following issue before?

It seems that auto-rotate screen option is automatically enabled even if appropriate checkbox is empty in the configuration. I also tried to turn on/off this option, but no result - screen continues to auto-rotate until wipe of applications cache and dalvik-cache I see this issue 3 times per day. It starts on stock firmware, then I moved to 3 different custom version - same behavior. As a bonus, when I pick up incomming call, speakerphone automatically turns on.

I tested it on the pure gmail profile without any applications from Google play

when you say you have tried other ROMS, was this a clean install (after a full wipe) or no?
[HTC One Mini] UnXc3113D:
Yes, it was clean install with full wipe.

I have a question regarding /data/data.

I tried to sum the total file size in that folder using ES File Explorer & I got something interesting.

The total is more than 180GB !!

How come it can be that big?

My Device is GT-N8000 16 GB with 64 GB microSD.

Is there any circular link between the storage ?

Can anyone help me regarding this?

It's no problem. It's normal. My data/data has over 160GB too... I think that's only mistake in partition info.

now it is stuck same boot loop will wait for 30 min and retry what i did earlier

edit 2

this time i am able to switch off by pressing lower volume button for 3 sec when fastboot loads then pressing power button

same boot loop happened when i powered on or plugged into wall charger

OK yesterday I rooted my nexus 5 using chain fire. I then installed the ROM manger app to install CWM. Does this mean I can now flash ROMs or zip files (eg. Beats audio) straight away or am I missing steps.

Sorry and thank you in advanced
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
You need to head to CWM recovery and then flash the rom.zip files...

Make sure you do a complete wipe before installing a new rom...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Dude, uninstall Rom Manager asap and never use it again, this has always been a terrible app and now its real terrible. Flash a custom recovery with Flashify (Play) or in fastboot (fastboot flash recovery namerecovery.img). Rom Manger is not a solution but a problem.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dec1153:
Sorry I don't understand!!! I have been using CWM for a very long time. I am just asking now that I am able to flash ROMs?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Rom Manager is unstable and buggy mate, if you have a working recovery then you`re lucky. Make sure to backup your current rom before you start flashing and backup your EFS folder and store it on the PC to be sure.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dec1153:
I have done a nandroid backup through CWM which functiond fine. Thanks anyways. One question, after root my nexus 5 is a tad slower. Is it possible to turn ART on while rooted because I heard people are getting bootloops when they do this.

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
ART is still experimental atm and some apps are not optimized for it yet. That can cause bootloops in some cases. If that should happen restore the backup.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipTD:
Dude, [MENTION=2743227]gee2012[/MENTION] is just trying to help, and is right about RM. I used it back in the day on my Nexus One running CM before there were any alternatives. Over time, RM got wonkier and wonkier, ending up an app that is best avoided. I recommend that you take the advice of a recognized contributer, and don't continue to be loyal to a has-been app that could bork your system.

Sure it is. I was talking about Rom Manager, please don`t ever use it again. Just for your sake mate.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveMurphy:
Everything said about Rom Manager is 100% correct; it's long been known to brick some phones, due to the recovery files it lists not being compatible with a lot of devices (and poorly defined).

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dec1153:
Haha OK. I just like CWM so I used it to install it. How do I boot into CWM without using the app? So I can delete ROM manger after
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipTD:
Further to [MENTION=2743227]gee2012[/MENTION]'s response, rather than switch to ART, and thereby forego the use of Xposed, check out the optimized Dalvik library.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Download it from here https://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager and flash in fastboot or with Flashify (Google Play.)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dec1153:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffsf:
Definitely listen to the people that are telling you to stop and read.

You bought a phone with an unlocked/unlockable bootloader. There is no reason to use "hacks" to root or install ROMs. There are trivial ways to accomplish the tasks, safely, the way the manufacturer intended.

XDA is a developer community, not a phone-help site. People are willing to explain things here, but not until after it's clear someone has taken the time to learn a bit first.

ROM Manager is definitely a disaster waiting to happen.

Rooting your phone isn't a right of ownership. Take a little time and learn what you are doing before you pooch it big time.

Device not seen

I'm having the same problem – stuck on "Warning Booloader Unlocked" screen. Can't get to the bootloader screen. 'adb devices' and 'mfastboot devices' both show empty device lists, which means that I can't execute any adb or mfastboot commands...

Moto G XT1032 (Gen 1, 2013), attempted to install 5.1 firmware using steps at www . droidviews . com/restore-moto-g-to-stock-and-downgrade-firmware (sorry, not allowed to add live link). Bootloader unlocked, USB drivers installed, USB debugging enabled. All mfastboot steps executed without error, but I missed sparsechunk.0 – duh. Finished with a 'mfastboot reboot', and ever since, can't get past the bootloader warning, and no device seen by adb or mfastboot... Can't imagine it's a connectivity or PC driver issue, as was working fine minutes ago before the reboot.

All the solutions I've found depend on adb or mfastboot being able to see my device. Any tips to get the device seen again?

Thanks!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itm:
I had an extremely sudden battery drain while attending a function at the Hilton in Cambridge at the weekend. I started with the phone at 100% charge at 8pm. When I checked it 5 hours later it had drained to 2% (98% battery loss in 5 hours). I was able to take a quick look at BetterBatteryStats and the top two items on the partial wakelock list were the Nielsen mobile panel app and one of the Google NLP services, so I'm guessing that the phone was hunting for a data signal the whole time, and that was what was causing the battery drain.

Can anyone recommend an app that will disable data and/or wifi if no good signal is available, and perhaps re-check every 15 minutes? I remember reading about just such an app in the last couple of weeks, but can't remember what it was called and haven't had any luck googling it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hakro807:
I have an international Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100 which I got cheaply because it exhibited the well known wake-lag phenomena. Unfortunately it has a lot of problems. It had been rooted and flashed with a custom firmware by the previous owner, and I guess he did something he wasn't supposed to. At the moment I'm running Cyanogenmod 10.1.3, the only firmware being stable on my hardware. Returned to stock ROM (ICS and JB 4.3) and both of them were extremely buggy. Same with OmniROM and Cyanogenmod 11. All of them also exhibited the wake lag. So something is seriously odd with this phone.

Anyway - when connecting the phone to the PC (Windows 8.1 x64) seven CDC Communication Interface and one Comneon Suspend will show up in device manager. I was able to install drivers using Zadig but it didn't seem to change anything. Odin 3.09 connects just fine to the phone. I have enabled USB debugging mode. ADB won't list the device (using the command adb devices). I wish to be able to use MTP.

Right now I'm lost. Since it's the same behaviour using different firmwares I assume it's on a quite low level. I have understood it may have something to do with the EMEI but how? I have been looking for dialler codes but without success.
