[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SafinWasi:
Normally,I get into fastboot by entering "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product" and then plugging in my Kindle when it's turned off. Will this work here?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
Nope, you can only do that from within the OS. Once you bootloop you need a fastboot cord.

Thanks man. Guess I'll have to order one...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinnytr9:
hi everyone,

I'm new here but right now I'm at my wits end here...

Backstory: I rooted my One and installed a ROM on it. However, a problem with the mic suddenly cropped up. Calling has been a pain and people say that they can hardly hear me. Speakerphone, however, works but it's annoying and inconvenient if I turn on my speakers every single time.

I decided to contact HTC again and asked for a replacement. I told them that there is something wrong with the mic of the phone. They were able to placed an on-site replacement. However, after 2 days, they sent me back an email saying that the problem lies "outside of the warranty" and the charge to get it back to working condition is $200. I thought it was ridiculous so I googled around and most on xda forums said that it is a hardware problem not a software one so I figured it's not a ROM problem.

So yesterday, when I got the phone back, it is unrepaired and worse, the volume buttons do not work at all...I am reluctant to send my phone back to HTC again because I know they will say that it is "out of warranty".

Stupid as I was, I tried to relock my One and S-On it again in order so that I can send my One back to HTC.

However, my One is stuck in bootloader mode.

On the top it says "Tampered", "LOCKED", and "Security Warning"

The HBOOT is 1.56 and it is S-ON.

The thing is, the volume buttons DO NOT work so I can't get into recovery mode using the normal method.

I can still use fastboot commands but the fastboot reboot command always send me back into the bootloader mode which is annoying. Because I can't get into recovery mode I can't use adb commands. So now, I think my phone is softbricked.

Would anyone be so kind and guide me through this? If anyone could help me I would be forever grateful.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Really bad idea to S-ON on hboot 1.56. S-ON must be done on hboot 1.44 or 1.54 otherwise tampered flag will come back. + its really hard to s-off on hboot 1.56 and in some case its not possible. So you'll have to S-off and downgrade then remove the tampered flag, lock bootloader and s-on (hboot 1.44-1.54 only).

To boot in recovery you can use adb reboot recovery from the OS. if you can't boot inside the OS, I think you are stuck.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinnytr9:
I know :( My phone was S-Off at the beginning of the "re-locking" process but as I followed the guides on Youtube, it had to be S-On and Locked again. I know it's a stupid move from my part :(

I can't do any adb commands because I'm stuck in the bootloader. adb devices returns no devices so i can't reboot into recovery.

Is there any fastboot command that will boot into recovery?

Which sucks the most is that the volume buttons do not work at all so yeah I'm pretty hopeless right now unless someone can miraculously come up with something to help

As of right now yes I'm hopelessly staring at the white screen on my phone...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
I don't know any way to boot in recovery using fastboot commands. Sorry.

I just updated my phone from the 1.08 rom and in the comm manager I now have a 'direct push' button but it is greyed out. Any way for me to use this feature?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Dr Puttingham:
You need an Exchange Server 2003 with SP2 now that your phone is Direct Push ready with the Messaging and Security Feature Pack (MSFP) with this ROM upgrade. If you don't have access to an Exchange 2003 server I believe that Mail2Web can be used, though I've no knowledge firsthand. And I'm sure there's others, just use the <search> here or google it.

Good luck!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Starcruiser1229:
yes, it is possible to use this feature with this rom (I am). the first step is to get access to an exchange server. If you do not have a corporate exchange server, I would recommend trying it out with the free service from mail2web.com first (this is what I use) simply b/c it is free. If you need more features later, you can always upgrade... To start, go to activesync on the phone. Go into options and click configure server, and enter your server details (can be found in help on mail2web, or from your corporate IT department) Make sure that it is set to sync as new items arrive... That icon you saw in the menu should be in color... If not click it to enable push...

The way I use it is I have gmail forward a copy of all incoming mail to the mail2web email acct. the phone syncs with the exchange server automatically when I get a new mail. I also sync contacts, tasks, and notes...

Remember that this remains connected to the net at all times, although not using much data, and it auto downloads new mail ect... so if you don't have unlimited data, I would watch it closely, at least to start off...

I would definitly try it out, personally I love it. I hope this helps and if you have any problems please let me know. Lastly I wrote all this on my wizard, so please pardon any spelling or grammer errors...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bendog2784:
i planned on using mail2web, but the button is greyed out. wouldnt i needto be able to select it to set it up?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Dr Puttingham:
As Starcruiser1229 said, configure in ActiveSync. Direct Push button is an On/Off toggle while ActiveSync is where you configure.

I have my own Exchange server and am not familiar with hosted servers but maybe here at http://services.mail2web.com/FreeServices/m2wLive/ you'll find what you need.

Good luck.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Starcruiser1229:
yes, they call the service mail2web live... I wish I had my own exchange server! anyway, good luck with the setup and if you need more help just post...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bendog2784:
thanks a lot. sorry for my misreading. im gonna try it out now. thanks.

Use a program like Android System Info to find what programs are running. If you are rooted just freeze the apps that are safe to freeze and you see running in the background.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] balpreetsaini:
Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't Android utilize ram differently then most systems. Isn't free ram wasted ram in this case.

What I have been told is that the Android OS loads apps into memory as a way to speed up processing and increase battery life and automatically empties this ram when more ram is needed. This is done to optimize performance and battery life.

So even if you might not use a certain app, its still left in memory incase u do use it and to avoid random increases in processing power decreasing overall battery life.

You're RAM usage is perfectly fine

what happen with the ram usage ? Is so normally .

Remember , android os system is a multitasking os.

Replace Touchwiz with Apex or Nova launcher, and kill as much bloatware as possible.

Touchwiz alone is 600MB.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pete4k:
Yes, Android manages memory different way and it's stupid way to put it mildly. Unless I manually go and kill useless applications, they take up memory and many of those apps I never used and never ever will. And no matter what anybody tells you it takes time to clear memory for new programs to load and defragment it. Primary reason I had to root my phone to fix this idiocy and freeze or delete all the bloat since I was tired to force stop dozens of apps after each reboot. I won't even go into all other issues like when those programs run in the background wasting battery, use internet, or wake the phone from deep sleep.

And how on Earth loading and running never used apps in background optimizes performance and battery life?

Part of the reason they do that is "just in time" compilation, another stupid idea, which they just tried to fix in KK.

Just like others suggested OP could root and freeze/delete all the garbage he doesn't use and surprise, surprise the phone will run faster and battery will last longer.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
You don't need to root to remove most of the bloatware. I didn't, and mine averages around 1.2GB in use with Firefox, Facebook, Whatsapp, LWP, Zooper, Twitter and Gmail open. It boots to 700MB in use.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monotoko:
Hi All,

I've attached a screenshot of the battery settings, my screen-on-time at this point was 1h48m - it seems to not be able to calibrate at all and drops and rises as it feels. I unplugged my phone this morning when the alarm went off and snoozed myself for a few hours, the phone was off when I woke up, when I turned it on it was at 66%

I've reloaded my ROM (MIUI v5) and it doesn't seem to have made a difference. Is it my battery dying or is it the ROM? I haven't seen anyone else using MIUI have these issues.

Any advice? Should I think about replacing the battery?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderskain:
Seems really bad and battery problems really gets fustrating at times..

Check if you have any apps you recently installed that might be causing the drain (Games tend to stay in background hogging batteries)

Reflash your rom if possible, with a full wipe to be assured of no rogue apps.

If the problem persists, then it might be due to a worn out battery. Replacing the battery usually solves most problems :good:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giuliomvr:
It's a new "feature" in KitKat, which renders sd cards useless. If you are rooted you can try the xposed module "HandleExternalStorage".
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bladehawk:
or you can modify your platform.xml file and add read write permissions for media.

Note: The system can still use the external SD card so you can still move an app to the SD card I believe.

What ROM are you using?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giuliomvr:
Ah, I forgot something really important. If you have root access, download something like Terminal Emulator and execute:

"su" to get root access and after that:

"restorecon -v -R /data/media"

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Hello, looking at your situation here is what I can conclude. First off you will need to change things for building on ARMv6 architecture, check this out for example. But your biggest problem will be that Android 4.0+ uses Linux kernel version 3.0+, and with the 2.36 kernel you have a lot of things will be broken and need fixing. That being said if your up for the challenge for it cause that's what were all about :cowboy:.

Well, i got this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2144790 that is the most similar phone talking about hardware, it has 3.0 kernel working well so i thought i could port it, i found this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15961306/porting-kernel-from-another-device so i think i would have less problems due hardware similarities (Look here http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3516&idPhone2=3735 ) so, if i have cm11 pure sources, i add this kernel sources and some patches i would have it booting?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
The best way to start is use the ARMv6 branch of Cyanogenmod 11, replace the CM 10.1 in the previous linked build guide with cm-11.0 ("repo init -u git://github.com/androidarmv6/android.git -b cm-11.0"), and then to direct the build to use your kernel take a look at this guide on integrated kernel building with Cyanogenmod.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Elim:
Normally many methods to get root-rights break the Samsung screen-mirroring. The same for the Note and until now only for 4.3 exists a fix. With KitKat we have to choose: root or screen-mirroring.

But there is a work-around which works for me:

- after you got your root-rights flash the stock recovery back via Odin (make a backup of your data before - like always).

PS. The explanation is that a custom-recovery and not the changes for root-right breaks the screen-mirroring.

PPS. I still try to patch the corresponding library.

PPPS. I attached the recovery from MJ4 and still busy to build a zip for ND1. But the old from MJ4 also works.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] prazvt:
Thanks - will this fix (and recovery) work with either the COO or US 4.4 updates?

With regards to the recovery - you mentioned the other option is to back up / restore the recovery ourselves. So I'd backup the current 4.4 recovery (i'll google the procedure) and just restore it after per your instructions?

Thx,

Praz
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Elim:
I got for both versions screen-mirroring to work with this method.

Oops, here I was not clear. No, the only method until now (for KitKat) is to restore a stock recovery. The backup I mentioned was about your data because every flash includes the possibility of losing the data.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] prazvt:
Hey Elim - thanks for the explanation. Right now I'm trying piece together the process to root and then restore screen mirroring functionality. It sounds like I need to install TWRP recovery for the root process. Then when I'm done, I'd flash the stock recovery back.

Could you clarify the process here? Do I extract the stock recovery.img from the US kitkat image, zip it and flash it within TWRP recovery?

EDIT: I think I'm good. I used a script to convert the recovery.img to a tar.md5 file. After rooting and installing SuperSU, installed the kitkat stock recovery. Will try screen mirroring once I get home :)
