[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlSKYFiRElx:
already did that, but it also shows "No Contacts" .. considering that when i plug the sim to an non-android device like asha, it reads all of my sim contacts, im telling you it is really really odd :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlSKYFiRElx:
yes correct, when i plug my SIM Card to another Device (iOS or Non-Android) it shows completely all of my contacts, but in my Android it doesn't .. this is the first time this happens to me .. i also tried flashing TouchWiz v9.5 but still happens,

only in stock rom does my contacts shows properly
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amolgosavi:
Use stock kernel
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5617821:
I know this happens sometime. Same thing happened to me once. Custom rom couldn't read the contacts from SIM but when I put this SIM in a Nokia phone, it could be easily read. But I always use Google sync which solves my problem.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlSKYFiRElx:
i guess my only option now is to shift to google contacts lol .. thanks mate :D thumbs up for you :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zatarra86:
OP, you're not alone, I'm also having this problem.

Suggesting one should rely on google to store contacts is not very helpful. One shouldn't have to rely on google. It's not an explanation or a solution.

Using the 'Import Contacts' function doesn't work, and that too should not be necessary.

This seems to be a problem with the 5830i only; I've tried using my SIM card with 4 different 5830s and all SIM contacts show up automatically (no 'importing' necessary).

People are suggesting it's something to do with the kernel? It would be nice to know which kernels contain this bug, and which custom ROMs address it. I'm running GB 2.3.6, and the kernel is 2.6.35.7 dpi@DELL150 #1.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amolgosavi:
if you have backup of contacts in memory card then..go to file manager there you see your contacts backup file..just extract that file ... :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zatarra86:
Should not be necessary, and only possible if one has another smartphone that doesn't suffer from the same problem. The 5830i can't copy contacts from the SIM card to the SD card because it can't detect them.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5617821:
Buddy, if you can't get import to work, then you should rely on other services to store your contacts. We have already provided you with solutions that we know off. It's up to you to use them or not. Also I think [MENTION=5435005]amolgosavi[/MENTION] meant the Rafael Baugis stock kernel. Here is the link,

Rafael Baugis stock kernel

Make sure to use the "stock kernel and modules". Hope I Helped :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amolgosavi:
rafael baugus kernel is not stock kernel..its stock based custom kernel..
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5617821:
Bro, I know. That's why I said Rafael Baugis stock kernel meaning a stock based custom kernel made by Rafael Baugis :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5617821:
It seems the problem is with the kernel. Try flashing this kernel edited by Rafael Baugis and provided to us by [MENTION=4427298]cooperke[/MENTION]. It seems to have solved the problem for some users. Here is the link,

I just opened and powered on my new M8, does the update that it is prompting me for affect s-off?

No, you can take the update and still root, s-off, etc... It would have probably been easier to search the forums since this has been discussed a number of times already.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blinde:
I'm greatly annoyed by GoogleDialer's phone app which shows caller picture blocked 50% by black blank area. What files do I have to edit to make picture more bigger or atleast make that blank space disappear?

I know that I could simply get another dialer but I like Google's version. That blank space just bugs me.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blinde:
Like I said, I'll stick to default phone app.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meatboy371:
There's a xposed module for fullscreen caller picture
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Ah, yea Xposed would do the trick, if rooted. If you aren't rooted, then using another app like I posted would be about the only thing. You still place calls like normal, just when you go to answer, it'll pop up with the app / full screen that can be themed and all that. It doesn't have it's own dialer UI like ExDialer or something along those lines and when you click on a number, it still opens up to your normal dialer. So you'd still be sticking with the stock phone app for 90% of things. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FourZer0:
There's an xposed module called XBlast that can do it. When you install it, go to Phone Tweaks > Fullscreen Caller Photo.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blinde:
I know. It just doesn't look nice since it's all transparent. When caller has white or bright picture, you can't basically see the number or name and it's very annoying.

That's why I like the default look since it has 50% transparent layer on top which shows name & number.
[Moto X Q&A] goodboynyc:
My girlfriends moto X its kaputz. The LCD and glass are total. She's got a replacement for it already but I'm curious what to do with the broken phone?

The device was still working because she would receive calls and her alarm would ring so theres chat.
[Moto X Q&A] hovax615@hotmail.com:
If you can find a cheap lcd, digitizer for it fix it and use it or sell it. Not many people are buying the moto x though....

MOTO X SLAPPED
[Moto X Q&A] GandalfTehGray:
Doesn't Moto fix/replace those for free? I imagine they want the old version back to fix and then sell later as refurbs.
[Moto X Q&A] goodboynyc:
Do they? I haven't heard of this.
[Moto X Q&A] HeroOfTime:
When my wife's Moto X screen and digitizer broke, they sent a new one and requested the old one back within 10 days (I think) before they would charge for the new one.
[Moto X Q&A] goodboynyc:
:eek: You just contact Motorla support then?
[Moto X Q&A] HeroOfTime:
Yeah. They emailed her a return label to mail it back. She can't remember if it was in the email or in the chat where they told her she needed to send it back. You may want to contact them to check, just in case. Was it a Moto Maker device?
[Moto X Q&A] goodboynyc:
No. It was a run of the mill White Moto X from Sprint.
[Moto X Q&A] HeroOfTime:
If it was from Sprint, it may be a different story. If you got the new one from them, you are probably fine.

[HTC Amaze 4G] jdmroach:
Hey guys, I recently attempted to root my old phone using the Amaze All in One Kit v5.2. Well, I was able to get the bootloader unlocked and installed TWRP recovery, but was unable to get any roms to load. I was advised I should relock the bootloader and attempt to do a RUU flash since my phone will no longer boot past the HTC screen. Since I relocked the bootloader, I have lost access to TWRP recovery entirely. I also tried the PH85IMG file on my SD card, but it doesn't seem to do anything different after installing and verifying.

My current bootloader screen displays the following:

***RELOCKED***

***Security Warning***

RUBY PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.93.0003

eMMC-boot

Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated.

[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Flash 4ext recovery and enable smart flash from settings and then flash any ics rom... (4ext has this smart flash feature so even tho you're S-ON you can still flash a rom and the kernel together in twrp recovery only the rom get Flash not the kernel) reason it didn't work for you in the first place..

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ox16mtk02zoi3qf/PH85IMG.zip

If you have a hard time flashing 4ext recovery from all in one kit use it.. (REMOVE EVERY FILE INSIDE IT EXCEPT FOR THE ONE CALLED "recovery.img" and place it in your ext_sd card and go to bootloader and follow instructions) unlock the bootloader 1st if it's locked ...
[HTC Amaze 4G] jdmroach:
Gotcha. Well, I just got the bootloader unlocked again, but I am unable to flash 4EXT recovery through the all in one software. The only other option I saw involved installing from the phone, but since I can only get to the bootloader and TWRP recovery screen, I'm unsure of how exactly to install it. You will have to excuse my ignorance on this stuff. I'm pretty computer literate, but this rooting stuff has gotten the best of me thus far...
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Just follow the things I told in the 2nd para.. Use that zip and flash it from bootloader.. It'll overwrite and flash 4ext recovery
[HTC Amaze 4G] jdmroach:
Well, after installing just that file on my SD card and restarting the phone, it went through a file check and parsing phase then when I clicked on recovery it brought back up TWRP. Obviously I'm misunderstanding something.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
it didn't install the recovery in the process?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jdmroach:
It does not appear so. TWRP opened up once again when I clicked on recovery from within the bootloader.

I'm also getting this error "Unable to mount eMMC" as well.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
i use the same zip when something goes wrong..it works fine for me..no idea why its not flashing.you unlocked the bootloader? deleted other unnecessary files in that zip?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jdmroach:
Well, cancel that. Finally got the 4EXT recovery flashed. Thanks again for all your help.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jdmroach:
I think I was doing something incorrectly. Anyways, I just enabled Smart Flash and went to "install from sdcard". When I select "choose zip from sdcard", I get the error "Can't mount /internal sdcard".
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
looks like you're partitions are corrupted :/ ..go to wipe category and do a full wipe except SD cards and see if it works...
[HTC Amaze 4G] jdmroach:
In the wipe category, my options are as follows:

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache

wipe cache + dalvik

wipe dalvik cache

wipe battery stats

format system

format data

format boot

format all partitions (except sd card)

format sdcard

Did you mean do a format all except sdcard?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jdmroach:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27844248&postcount=6

I came across this method and it appears to have fixed my internal sdcard issue. It is installing the rom now. I will let you know once I get done flashing the rom if all goes as planned.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Sorry for delay, good luck :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] jdmroach:
I ended up just flashing the Cyanogenmod rom for now. Everything seemed to go fine with the install. I rebooted and it sat at the Cyanogenmod splash screen for almost a hour without proceeding. Any clue?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Did you do a full wipe before flashing the rom? If there are data of your previous rom in your system partition all the data get overwrite and crashes ... Full wipe = format all (except sd card)

(the one in wipe/format category..)
[HTC Amaze 4G] jdmroach:
Ahh okay. I believe I just did the wipe function and not a full format. I will try that and let you know.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jdmroach:
It has been at the Cyanogenmod screen for about 20 mins now. Does it normally take this long?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
I just read carefully your 1st post now.. You're hboot is 1.93.003 it's normally 1.93.002.. It's a nasty issue.. Try to flash a stock htc ics rom (arhd 5) and do the s-off.. It's the only way to recover from that issue as far as I know..
[HTC Amaze 4G] jdmroach:
SUCCESS!!! I was able to flash another rom (T-mobile Stock ICS Debloated) and it booted back up like it should. Seriously, thanks again for all of your help buddy.

[Other SmartWatches] speedme:
Hi,

I have been searching the web for a smartwatch for a long time now and I've seen a lot of smartwatches.

I briefly owned a Sony MN2 (smartwatch 1) and it was pretty OK, but had some flaws.

Like it was absolutely impossible to see the time in direct sunlight.

Indoors it was great.

Also the screen was small and not so many pixels.

So I wanted to buy the Sony Smartwatch 2 because all the MN2 flaws are not present anymore in the SW2.

Then I came across the SmartQ Z Watch..........

This looks like a real SW2 killer, but is it as good (or even better) as the SW2 ?

What I want in a watch :

- Get notifications from my Galaxy S4 on my watch

- Read my email (Gmail)

- Facebook

- Twitter

- Calendar

Can someone, who has owned both the SW2 and Z-Watch, explain to me which one is better ?
[Other SmartWatches] speedme:
Come on guys ! Nobody who can quickly answer my questions ?
[Other SmartWatches] ofsinreno:
I haven't owned the SW2 but I've had the Zwatch for a while. If you're looking for notifications it's great, and it it's a fun piece of technology. There's a booting Android Wear ROM as well as a few custom ROMs based off the stock firmware. And while you can load apps like Gmail and Twitter onto it takes some work- and so far the watch doesn't work well with Windows 8.X computers. Also there is no internet tethering so you have use the wifi on the watch, but that consumes battery power extremely fast. You really need to use an app that limits your wifi usage to a few minutes at a time or you won't even get one day out of a full charge.

In the end- it's a great watch. The screen is visible, there's a little developing going on, good potential, but it's still too early. If you are looking for that polished look and feel that you find with Sony, you will be disappointed. The Z watch is just not that refined. But for $100 I bought one and haven't regretted it.
[Other SmartWatches] JarlSX:
maybe no one owns both? :)

i have the SW2, it can all the things you ask for

and while some call the transflective display old tech, it does work well both indoors and outdoors

with the new watch face editor, they finally opened up development of real watch faces, which opens a world of possibilities for interactive watch faces (the first by Sony is a weather widget, if you tap it, it shows the weather forecast on the watch)

hoping for some real nice clock designs too

check this video

[Other SmartWatches] speedme:
How is the readability of the Z Watch outdours ?

Can the display be read with direct sunlight ?
[Other SmartWatches] apitruia1:
Yes the display is very bright if set to 100%........ But again it will drain your battery.... Smart q z watch there is a widget to adjust brightness....... So it is quite easy to adjust as per requirement

Will recommend to wait for some more days till LG or moto comes up with polished android were version
[Other SmartWatches] JarlSX:
'days'? you know something we don't? :)
[Other SmartWatches] speedme:
I know that Motorola and LG have announced their smartwatches running Android Wear, but those smartwatches will be more expensive than the SmartQ is

Verstuurd vanaf mijn Nexus 7 met Tapatalk
[Other SmartWatches] doc_lee:
It's worth waiting a few weeks to see the new SmartQ P1 watch. It has more features than the Z watch (heart rate monitor, built in speaker for complete handsfree calling) and is supposed to have a transflective screen for better outdoor viewing. Price is supposed to be about $50 more than the Z watch.
[Other SmartWatches] speedme:
You are right, I've read about the P1 a few days ago and it sounds very promising.

On the other hand, the Z Watch already has been rooted and custom roms are available.

Also I've seen a Youtube video where voice commands are working with XBMC (which I use a lot, hahaha).

Even normal Play Store works on the Z Watch.

It will take a while for the community to accomplish that on the new P1 and I wonder if I will use the extra features which the P1 will have.

Doubts doubts doubts, it drives me crazy :D
[Other SmartWatches] jory9:
well i payed 99$ for this watch and it's getting delivered at my doorstep on monday, really looking forward to it.

I've been having this issue for a while (I think I noticed it from the 20140416 nightly, not sure though). I experience random crashes here and there (everything will freeze and then the UI will "reset" itself), but they mainly happen when I try to pull down the notifications bar after unlocking my phone. It's pathetic that this happens, as I'm sure it's not a big deal to fix!!!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moster2:
You declared that its easy to fix. So it seems that you have the knowledge to fix it, otherwise you wouldnt know that.

Anyways, dont expect a serious answer if you do several mistakes. First, posts like yours dont belong into the general section. They either belong into the respective rom thread or maybe Q&A. And even if you post there, none of the CM devs will ever read it. They avoid xda.

Then you also brag about a bug in a nightly. Guess what, nightlies are not supported. They are automatically generated builds. A bug report will be ignored (even if you use cm's bug tracker called jira). I can add more mistakes you did if you want.
