[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sum~Guy:
I bought one of those cheap 7" android tablets about a year or two ago (Polaroid) and over the past few months I've had to use an app that I downloaded to change the contrast of the screen. The system brightness control slider was not enough to adjust the screen to give a usable display. I find that the screen is becoming increasingly washed out with a lack of contrast, and using the app to give the max contrast is now beginning to not be enough to give a usable display.

Is this a known phenomena?

Are these tablets known to have changes with their screen contrast over time? Or is this only seen in the sub-$100 tablets?

Can anything be done? Is there a hardware or software mod that can bring the display back to normal?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grumphus:
Greetings. I finally decided to take the custom ROM route from the stock 4.3 and had a pretty rough ride. Here's the details.

I successfully flashed CWM 6.0.4.8 using Heimdall Suite

I performed a Nandroid backup

I rooted the P3100 using CF-Auto Root which removed CWM

I installed Mobile Odin and tried to install SOKP. The process worked but I wasn't able to boot.

I flashed CWM 6.0.4.8 again

I wiped the data and tried installing SOKP this time through CWM. It finally worked.

Everything works great but I noticed that the 2G/3G no longer works. I can send/receive texts and calls and the APN settings are fine. Wi-Fi works ok. Mobile network state says "Disconnected".

I haven't tried restoring my Nandroid backup. Is there a quick way to resolve this? I already tinkered with the airplane mode to no avail. Thanks!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makgun:
recently, I rooted my phone and after that I updated via software-updater and it rebooted. finally , it had an error ''boot certification invalid'' and after that I install twrp on my device and tried to backup everything(also efs) and it went right. I have a backup but after that I wipe everything (also efs) and i wanted to try to install d802 stock rom via zip files on the forum and all wipe is ok and i went to reboot recovery after that my phone's motherboard has a debug. Guarantee service said me : '' there is problem motherboard software and we can't repair it. You should change motherboard '' .

What is your advice for the problem? Do I need to go to another guarantee service ?

Sorry, my bad english....
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stilkus:
it seems your motherboard's hardware is fine since you're able to do all the things you mentioned and the phone boots to recovery, I think it's a firmware issue.

I would try to force the phone in download mode and flash a stock .kdz file through the Lg firmware utility.

you should find all files and instructions on the xda forums.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makgun:
yes i also think like you but i tried all things on the forum but when i try it my ubuntu didn't see phone's internal memory so i couldn't flash twrp on ubuntu and i cannot flash stock rom via flashtool because my win8 didn't see phone's driver even all needed drivers are installed..

thanks for your help...

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megapleb:
Can anyone please tell me how to do this on the S5 in a way that sticks? I can do it through the GPS status app, but if the phone is restarted, the calibration is lost. I know some phones have a test menu, but the old *#0*# doesn't seem to be working on the S5.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megapleb:
I managed to get the test menu working, but there doesn't seem to be a calibration option for the compass. Anyone have any ideas?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamil122:
I just registered to reply you on this.

I have similar issue and found it is caused by the magnetic flip cover. When I remove phone from the cover and recalibrate compass it works well for long time. Also when I move the cover close to phone the compass is distracted and shows wrong direction to north.

My phone is new and I changed from S3. I have no such issue there.

Try your mobile without cover.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megapleb:
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I'm having this problem despite having no cover on the phone :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Gokulbalram:
Hey, I have an Xperia Pro (MK16i) in my hands. It doesn't boot fully, it passes the splash screen, the boot animation and then it gets back to the splash screen and this keeps repeating. I checked whether it boots into Fastboot and flash mode and thankfully enough it does, except it isn't recognized by the PC. I have a Laptop with Win 8.1, Dual-booting with Ubuntu 13.04 and another laptop with Windows 7. I tried everything, drivers, editing the rules file but unfortunately, none of this helped. Also, I have this feeling that USB Debugging is off. It'd be great help if someone replied with any ideas.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] arvarobert:
Your problem is "bootloop". If you have Ubuntu installed on your PC,download Flashtool for Linux and flash stock ROM into your phone.U don't need drivers.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] alexthelionheart99:
Hey Guys I was just playing around with some roms since I got my phone and I was wondering can I flash a international LG Optimus g rom on my At&t version of the phone or will doing that brake it ?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Rishi.:
They both use different kernels....I think it'll get stuck at boot.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] alexthelionheart99:
what if I flash a new kernel ?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] OMGMatrix:
You can flash anything that uses [GEE] sources, so anything from international OR Sprint that says [GEE] will work as long as you flash a [GEEB] kernel afterward.

However, if it says [LS970] or [FL180], those roms wont work. Look for [GEE] and you'll be good.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] alexthelionheart99:
So if it's says Paranoid Android Mako it is safe to flash ?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] KnowNadda:
Old post but I'm poking around for a solution.

My E970 has been running Android 4.12 ROM eg8 beta 7-26 and associated kernel by MysteryEmotionz flawlessly for about a year. GPS locks quickly. I was able to install and configure Paulicat's LG Official Kitkat 4.4.2 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2771440 and it ran perfectly (no FC's) with one big but...

No GPS, which is a must have. GPS Toolbox never shows any satellites despite it showing satellites even when I am indoors and a few feet from a window on JB. I eventually tried numerous full wipes and flashes of the AT&T JB modem with both TWRP & CWM Touch, reinstalling stock AT&T 10j then wiping and reflashing the Korean KitKat ported from the [FL180]. I've tried both Paulicat's and the deodexed version by gourab4u with the same issue.

I've tried various build.prop edits and gps.conf changes. Is no one else experiencing this? Ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] yosh519:
I was wondering if there is an app or tweak for my note 3 that allows me to have multiple default applications. For example if I were to open a link from twitter, Google chrome would automatically open whereas if I were to open a link from facebook, firefox would automatically open instead. Ive searched but I always get the default search results telling me how to set default applications which I already know how to do. Btw I am rooted so any app would do.

Thanks

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinedoc:
I'm having an issue with Google Now and my Note 3. When I have my bluetooth headset and hit the button it brings up Google search and I can ask it to call someone, etc. The problem is that the initial chime Google makes is VERY loud, to the point where it may be hurting my ear. The rest of the volume is just fine, phone calls are not too loud, system sounds, ringer, etc are just fine. I've tried this with 2 bluetooth headsets and have the same results.

Does anyone know if I can adjust or better yet just eliminate that chime?

Hi, my asus transformer T300 screen cracked. So I replaced the digitizer with a brand new one. (Correct Model 5158n) Put everything back and all looks ok but the touch screen is not working at all. My tablet comes on and I can see the screen but I unable to touch anything on the screen. I opened the tablet back up and reconnected everything about 5 times but the touch screen still doesn't work. Any Ideas. When I navigate down to the developer options using the keyboard and select show touches, I get a load of white dots flying around the screen. What does this mean? Do I have a faulty digitizer or is there anything else I can try to get the digitizer touch screen to start working.

SHOCKED

at the lack of OEM ports on Nexus 4. When Nexus S had the level of development N4 currently gets there were ports from almost every OEM's rom. Now it seems all we have are AOSP/CM kangs or full builds. It's getting extremely boring around here with nothing but the same old stuff over and over and over every single day. I need something different to play with already guys!!!
[Nexus 4 General] Rockabillypt:
Like hp420 says... on almost other phone there's a lot diferent roms, I remember back in the days of the HTC HD2 runnin' almost every OS out there. The Nexus 4 have plenty of good rom's but are improvements to stock or CM... nothing really diferent, ok we have Unbutu, Sailfish & FirefoxOS, but none of them is working 100% to use daily. The Flyme OS looks diferent for all of this, don't know if it's hard to port or a simple thing because I don't know nothing about porting. So hope someone try to get this to our Nexus 4.

Thanks for the interess guys

Yes, but I think there's no hardcore Dev's to port it. Every rom in n4 section is AOSP based and I'm bored of this phone. No working miui, no flyme... Now I'm using ffos and I like it, because I can't watch to black Android background everywhere.

I'll propose this idea; I will work on a Sense Port if and only if I get some other devs who want to work with me (mainly kernel devs, I can handle the rom side), and users are interested. Right now I'm looking at a Sense 6 port from the Droid DNA due to the same SoC. Again, if I get any other devs to work with me, I'll be down to work on it. I know it's very possible to accomplish this.
