[Project Ara General] MADCastro:
The Project Ara is a very interesting concept, but i may have some questions to ask.

1) Is it going to have Tablet versions? Is there the possibility to add USB port?

2) Is it going to support Tegra SoCs?

3) Any kind of Slide Physical Keyboard is going to be supported? (Like the iPhone external keyboards)

4) Is it going to have various kinds of batteries (like having one to last long)?
[Project Ara General] jhn848:
I don't think there's any answers to those questions.
[Project Ara General] baghera1979:
1) not sure

2) not sure, but I would think so based on our ability to choose whatever we want

3) there is an option for a keyboard I saw, but its not a sliding one

4) yes it can have various size batteries...its a modular phone
[Project Ara General] MGREX:
1 there are many sizes so at least phablets yes

2 only if nvidia supports the platform

3 you can make your own modules

4 some phones already offer different batteries like the jiayu g4 so in the Ara that's a given
[Project Ara General] danhatcher:
You've gotta crawl before you can walk!
[Project Ara General] Carl Jonson:
Is the phone is compatible with a gaming console(analog)
[Project Ara General] themasteroftech:
1) no tablet version (yet)

2) we don't know yet but we do know that Toshiba is going to make chipsets for ara

3) yes keyboard are supported. The possibilities are infinite

4) yes
[Project Ara General] yzak58:
Is it possible to make each of the individual modules water resistant and thus resulting in a water resistant phone?

May be a mono coating like on the motorola phones

I am aware that there are several contact points too
[Project Ara General] replicamask:
In the beginning it's gonna be hard to say what will be available for options for the Ara. But eventually I'd hope we' d see an explosion of various modules for the device. Keyboards I don't know, I wouldn't be as interested in those as I'd be happy with an on screen keyboard and use the module space for extra power, speed or storage.
[Project Ara General] riahc3:
Keyboards are basically a give in.

But at the end of the day, if there is demand, there will be supply.
[Project Ara General] jamesmuking5:
Probably you need a Bluetooth module to connect android-ready gaming consoles to them.
[Project Ara General] nsarva1:
I was just wondering that there are numerous routers about the ara phones being released in January however for what cost?
[Project Ara General] keenofhiphop:
I wonder about the radio: all in one (wifi, mobile radio and Bluetooth) or Bluetooth separated? Storage as extra module and RAM with processor or altogether? How much juice can a 1x2 or 2x2 battery have?

I demand to know that :)

What do you think about a dual sim support for ara?
[Project Ara General] sammi123:
Give google some time. The first one should be just a small one. There is not enough type of modules in the market at the beginning.

Very sad.

Keeping to the small "mainboards" for the start seems counterintuitive as it'll keep the people away who are currently owning top-notch devices and who'd be financially able to support such a young product.
[Project Ara General] trook:
I owned the worst Android phone back in the day. It was called the Motorola backflip. Now anyone else that had this phone hopefully thinks it's atrocious like me BUT it did have a great feature I've yet to see anywhere else. Hold that, I think they oppo had it but anyways it had a rear touch screen so you could scroll around with filthy hands and never need touch the screen. It was a great idea, how hard would it be to build a module that did just that? Can't wait to see what's going to happen next....
[Project Ara General] Insano82:
1. The endo comes in 3 version, small, medium and phablet

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LondonDropper:
Hi all

I'm attempting to fix a Nexus 7 2012 for a family member. I know that they never used a PIN previously and have been told that the PIN lock was activated when browsing the web and pressing the volume up button. Naturally I'm absolutely baffled as to how that set a PIN code but that's apparently what happened. Is there any Android malware that could have been downloaded which could cause this?

Either way, I've used a variety of resources to attempt to recover the device WITHOUT resorting to a factory reset (which I would like to avoid if possible), however I've reached an impasse so decided to ask about my specific case directly. At this stage I'd be happy to just find a way to somehow remotely backup the device so that the appdata etc. could be restored following a factory reset.

Here are the routes I've eliminated so far:

As this is a PIN code the option to login after 5 incorrect attempts is not available (that's for pattern locks only, unfortunately).

The Android Device Manager has not been set up with this device for Remote Wipe & Lock so I cannot change the PIN code remotely in this manner. Nor are there any other installed apps which would be of any similar use according to the list of installed apps on the corresponding Google Account.

Screen Lock Bypass Pro is incompatible with the device according to Google so I can't install that remotely from the Google Play store. Plus I don't know of any way to sideload it given the below two points (even if that were safe to do given that it's "incompatible"). This would have been sufficient to disable the lock screen long enough to back up the device using say Titanium Backup before wiping & restoring.

USB Debugging is not enabled which means I cannot do anything via ADB. Nor am I therefore able to backup by any means I've looked at thus far.

The bootloader is locked. To unlock you need to wipe the device, which as I mentioned above I want to avoid. This means I can't use a custom recovery to turn on USB Debugging and use ADB to load Aroma File Manager in order to delete the password database files.

So, I would like to know a way to do any of the following without a factory reset:

Remotely enable USB Debugging.

Remotely install Screen Lock Bypass Pro.

Backup the device.

Any other method to achieve the backup of the device or a PIN code reset that I'm currently ignorant about.

Please let me know if this is just impossible. I realise that the PIN code is there for a reason however I'm being persistent in case I'm overlooking something simple. Thanks in advance!

NB: Apologies but I can't yet include any URLs. Please let me know if you need any of my sources for the above information and I'll see what I can do.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLastSidekick:
Apart from sending a password request to your Gmail or linked email, unfortunately I don't think you can do anything without wiping. If it's a 4 digit pin code try guessing the basics. 1234, 0000, 4321,etc.

The Nexus 5 advocate (Team Inferno)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LondonDropper:
I have the Google Account e-mail and password so that isn't an issue. How would the above help to obtain the PIN code or to change it?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLastSidekick:
If I'm not correct somewhere at the bottom of the screen after entering it incorrect twice or three times, should display an email reset option. Let me try it and get back to you in just a moment.

Edit : was able to get it working for a friend on Android 2.2 but it is no longer working for me on 4.4.2 sorry.

Double edit : It is the pattern lock you can reset from but there used to be a way to do pin reset. I'll update my post if I find anything else. All the best.

The Nexus 5 advocate (Team Inferno)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LondonDropper:
No, as I said in my OP that's only for pattern locks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain Sweatpants:
I don't think there is any way to do it without wiping the device. Try safe mode though it may temporarily disable the pin. That would allow you to backup the device

Programming is a race between engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LondonDropper:
Just tried Safe Mode but no luck. It really must be the OS that's responsible and not an app.

Thanks anyway!! I'll just have to wipe it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Hi everyone,

I guess this is an old issue, but I really need help here.

4.1 and 4.4 both had the same problem for me: The Android System really did a number on the battery. 4.3 turned it down, as you can see:

But 4.4 brought it back:

... which I wasn't too upset about.

Then, I finally got around to sending my phone in to fix the purple tint (which worked), but now my battery is getting rekt:

So do you think this is normal? Is my battery just starting to deteriorate? What do you think is wrong?

I guess it's time I moved onto a custom ROM. I've been browsing, and I don't really see any 4.4 ROMs that mention this battery drain issue, so I'm not entirely confident they will fix it. I've read that even CM ROMs have this problem.

So should I contact HTC (I've done a factory reset and battery calibration)? Will they be able to help?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Also, because I'll probably have to flash a custom ROM at some point, I'd like to ask which ROMs have a focus on battery life? I was looking at ViperOne, but it has a stock kernel, so I may want to try something else, unless it has something else that boosts battery life. Badseed? Bad Boyz? Maybe even CM?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Anderson2:
I recently installed a genealogy app (families)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.telgen.families

which uses sqlite and which is quite good. But I'm not crazy about the silver-gray color it uses for its background. So I wrote to the author who told me the app uses the "default android colors" but was otherwise unhelpful.

So, I thought to ask here. Is there a tool or app that could modify the default android colors an app or screen uses?

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] TheManii:
On a per app level, i'm not sure it's currently possible short of modifying the app itself.

Judging from the screenshots, the app needs to be updated for holo (the UI theme in android 3.0+) anyway.

On a rom level essentially you want your rom to be themeable.

Roms such as cyanogen mod have a built in theming engine.

If you're rooted and not on a rom that has a theme engine (such as stock), you can use HKThemeManager

Though most themes focus on the holo assets, theming the pre holo assets isnt really a focus for anyone since they're becoming rather rare.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Anderson2:
Thank you very much.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Anderson2:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmoench51:
Alrighty, so here's the deal. I have a Hisense Sero 7 Pro that I've had laying around for the better part of a year now...and here's why. A while back it totally wigged out on me and started throwing up all kinds of errors, so I rebooted it. At that point it wouldn't boot up at all. It gets to the "Hisense Smart" screen but will go no farther. I've tried everything...factory wipe, installing third party ROMs, so on and so forth...to no avail. So I want to try something else now but I need your guys' help. I would like to restore it to a recovery image (clockwork mod), but I don't have one...so that's where you guys come into play. Could anybody hook me up with a recovery image so I could give that a shot? Would be really helpful!

Thanks in advance.

"Format data" will recreate the filesystem and run a secure erase (which takes more than an hour) - this deletes everything on /data.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdsn99:
Hi all, I have ES file explorer install on the FTV. When I tried to browse to the xbmc folders that contain the addons, user data, etc, I am unable to view these folders, its as if they are hidden. When i try to choose the option in es file explorer to show hidden files, the option will not turn on. Any suggestions? Thanks
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kairnage:
it's because you don't have root. Some systems will let you browse them without, the FTV doesn't.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdsn99:
Thanks for the reply, I was suspecting that but wasn't sure. Hopefully root will come soon.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarvoke:
works for me...

it works fine for me without root. this is with v3.1.1 if that makes any difference. but hidden files (basically dotfiles) are completely unrelated to root.

in ES if you open the Tools menu on the left hand side, scroll down. there is a setting for root explorer and there is a setting for hidden files. for some reason if you highlight any of those settings with the remote or a controller and press "ok"/"A-button"/etc., nothing happens. sort of annoying.

so highlight the hidden files line and you have to mouse click it. it will change from grey/OFF to blue/ON.

OR

the exact same setting is in the generic settings of the app, under the very first subsection "Display"

it's the very first setting under Display, and is a checkbox.

the "ok"/"A-button"/etc. *does* work here and the checkbox will be checked. and if you look back in the Tools on the main screen, you'll see that the button changed to blue/ON. like I said it's the same setting. just irritating the mainpage one seems to only work with mouse click.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] svend_e:
Hello

2 days ago I got a T-mobile MDA from a friend. Only the MDA and a cradle. It had not been used for at least half a year. At first I could not make it work as it did not react to the stylus on the touch screen. But after some resets it slowly came on, and was fairly working (slow sometimes)

As I wanted English SW, I downloaded one and installed. After some time the problem came again, and I decided to switch back. Then it stopped working again.

Sometimes I can get to the calibrating touch screen, but then it stop reacting.

I read about similar problems on this website, but I cannot install the file tpenable.exe until I get into operating system, and can use the touch pad.

I tried with a couple of ROM-versions, but it seems to have no influence. Still, to me it feels like a SW-problem.

Anyone have some suggestions?

Here is a follow up on my problem:

I discovered that if I press hard at the lower quater of the touch screen, sometimes it works again. This points more to a HW problem.

I took the MDA apart a couple of times, but could not see anything wrong. Does anybody know how the touch screen technically works?

I noticed in another post about someone with a similar problem. Do anybody know what exactly he was soldering?

Edit: I unzipped the new 4.4.2 update, none there.

Edit 2: The power button works, but won't turn the screen off. also no widget made for turning the screen off will either. The only way the phone will stay off, is if you remove the battery, and put it back in.
