[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremy.shi:
Thanks guys! Unfortunately my phone is not rooted and I'm not really willing to do that.

And, yes, I know I can just download it from a computer and put it on my phone, but I don't understand why would Google want to make things complicated like that. It's just really annoying! Just switched from an iPhone to Xperia not long ago. I must say I really miss 'everything just works' on my iPhone.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edge3uk:
Yes the limited features of an iPhone do just work. The same features just work on Android. What you're requiring is user preference. Just use play music its a great app especially when used with all access
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremy.shi:
Actually, I'm not just referring to this. There have been a lot of problems with the phone since I got it. Luckily, there is no gap or anything physical like some other people are experiencing with their phones.

The screen is way too sensitive, hovering my fingers on the screen can even be registered as a touch. it was annoying at the beginning but now I'm getting used to it.

I got the Australian version of Xperia Z2. While a lot of countries have already got updated to 17.1.1, mine is still sitting at 17.1. I had to backup the phone and then flash the German firmware myself. I could not understand why don't Sony just simply release the update worldwide at once and everyone will be happy!

I backed up the phone via Sony companion. However, when I tried to restore all my contents...Guess what? First try, it stuck in the middle and progress indicator did not move for hours. Second time, I had to untick the 'others' to let it at least finish the restore, which means all my app data could not be restored. Even after that, it still couldn't get the job done properly. After the restore was finished, the app was telling me my contacts and settings cannot be restored. Third time, messages restore was successful, but settings and messages cannot be restored...the funny thing is, messages were successfully restored during the second time, but failed in the third time...I just...grrrrrrrr! Finally I gave up and decided to set up every thing on my phone manually after wasting my whole day on this. (If you know any backup app that works well, please let me know. the Sony one is absolutely pathetic!)

Also, I cannot seem to get the MP4 files to play properly on my phone, they have no sound for whatever reason.

While I enjoy the active noise cancelling without dragging an extra brick around, I don't really think I will get another Sony or any android phone when I upgrade next time.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edge3uk:
To be fair, it was just you being inpatient that started that ball rolling. The ota won't be long, and then all the backup restore problems wouldn't be needed. I never backup anything, I just set it up again when needed, mostly it is in the cloud anyways. Not sure about the mp4s, everything thrown at it so far has been fine
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremy.shi:
Yes I was inpatient, because I thought the new update would fix the screen issue and it did. The Australian version wasn't even getting the .69 update, so I assumed this one would take a long time to get released as well.

Even without this whole update thing, I would still want a functional backup/restore system in place. The reason why I would want to backup my phone is that I like carrying all the app data to my new phone or keeping data when I have to restore the phone for whatever reason. Google's app data sync doesn't work for me at all. It doesn't seem to restore anything but reinstalling app I installed before. All my progress in games, messages in whatsapp and viber are all gone. :(
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edge3uk:
My friend had the same problem with his account not syncing with Google also, he lost his contacts every time he flashed. I've never had that problem with android ever. It might be worth looking into why it's not working, it's android/google not Sony tho. I always used titanium backup, but I'm not looking to root this phone, just because it already works exactly as I want straight out the box, from battery life to battery%. Have a look on google play, there will be other backup solutions that may work better for you.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremy.shi:
Yea I tried some of them and none of those seem to work like the iTunes. Oh well.. I will just live with it for now.

Btw, under google account it says app data is being synced...hopefully it's actually working now.
[HTC One Mini] dearmaria21:
I rooted my phone a few months back but i want to completely restore it back to its factory settings so it's not rooted anymore...but someone told me i need ruu file but i can only find the file for the normal htc one

any help appreciated thank you
[HTC One Mini] RuffBuster:
there is only a RUU for AT&T, no other.

[HTC One Mini] dearmaria21:
right i see

So is there anything i can do to reset to to stock?
[HTC One Mini] RuffBuster:
Thanks to HTC not really. You can install a stock rom from the dev section and remove super user. And then install the modded hboot from dev section to hide the boot loader tags. But your never going to be truely stock again....

[HTC One Mini] dearmaria21:
Meh! Htc suck

Thanks for the help, do people buy rooted HTC phones? How much do they go for generally? :angel:
[HTC One Mini] RuffBuster:
I will be selling mine once I get back from HTC. Unrooted and in mint condition your looking at top price £200. But once your boot loader is unlocked i'd guess around £150 maybe a notch more, because whatever warranty you had is now void. And because your now unable to receive official updates. HTC here in the U.K are quite strict with their warranty from my experience. It's still worth trying for more money as you can always drop the price later if unsuccessful.

[HTC One Mini] tofuboi01:
From this..installing a stock ROM would still be locked out of receiving the HTC updates? I have an O2 Mini.
[HTC One Mini] elmuziko:
I too would like to know how to get back to RUU in the UK.

I've an unbranded phone bought out right and getting fed up of not being able to use banking apps.

I've used RootCloak and it's working for Halifax (although at present Halifax is just mobile web rather than an app) but not for Barclay's and Lloyd's.

Anyway, Googling how to unroot phone I found a link to this:

http://mobilefileserver.com/download.aspx?get=244322

If anyone is willing to pay for it, looks like we might be able to get an RUU.

Then there's a couple of Persian sites when I Google'd the ROM:

Google Results

I've translated it and tried to join up but it couldn't get past the sign in screen, lord knows why.

So there we are, possible options to return to RUU. If anyone knows how to get around the banking problem i'll stick with root.
[LG Optimus G Pro] badnaam:
Hi,

I am on E980 ATT 4.1.2 stock. I have unrooted and also installed CWM 6.0.4.7.

I haven't yet gotten a notification for an upgrade to KK, but I am wondering.

#1 If I upgrade over the air, will it brick my phone since it's rooted and has a custom recovery?

#2 If I do want to upgrade, what's the best method for upgrading and will I have to unroot and remote CWM?

Thanks
[LG Optimus G Pro] M.Catchit:
Hi there,

several manufacturers and providers do not send or cannot send the updates because of certain rooting means.

If you see the window with message: "No updates available for your device." or "The latest updates have already been installed.", then you will receive the updates inspite of root access.

But you must flash a stock recovery before or even flash the whole stock ROM. Via custom recovery and rooted ROM stock updates cannot succeed.
[LG Optimus G Pro] mk3:
Mine was rooted with stock recovery and the upgrade process went fine this week. Since you're on CWM recovery I'd say don't do it. When the last upgrade came out and I was running a custom recovery and it boot looped my phone (as well as everyone else's phones).

As best I know your only option is to restore phone to stock and take upgrade, then root, install recovery and all your apps/settings. Its a beeyotch right?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The-unknown-user:
I press volume down as I connect it to PC the led blinks red then green then turn off but my PC can't detect it so I disconnect it from PC and I try to turn on the phone it didn't turn on so I made a hard reset and it turned on. So I recognized that my phone was stuck in flashmode.

I can't use flashtool due to this problem

Some hints:

1. Be sure you are on latest CWM or TWRP recovery!!!!!!

2. Not all gapps packages right now are nice working. You can try others but at least I know that the one linked here is working. If you have other gapps which are working you can link it here of course

3. Full wipe when coming from any 4.4 rom (as well format system manually please)

Reporting Bugs

When you submit a bug you want to make sure that nothing from your side is causing it. Otherwise your developer might be hunting a bug which doesn't really exist.

The best way to achieve this is by doing the following.

1. Make a nandroid backup.

2. Perform a full wipe (factory reset + wipe /system)

Now we have two different ways depending on what kind of problem you're having.

3a. When you're having a problem with a ROM function, flash just the ROM without GAPPS etc. and boot back into the system. You will boot directly onto the homescreen.

3b. When you're having a problem with a 3rd party app in combination with our ROM then flash the ROM and GAPPS.

Boot now back into the system. You will boot to the setup wizard.

Log in to your Google account but make sure that you untick "Restore from my Google Account to this phone/tablet".

Finish the setup and open the playstore and download only the app you're having problems with.

4. Start a logcat recording and reproduce the bug (if possible more than once) while taking the logcat. If you don't know how to get a logcat read this tutorial or this.

5. Post the logcat in a txt file (this is important because you otherwise clog up the threads with your log) in the correct thread.

Please also write detailed description how we can reproduce the bug.

6. Restore your backup from point 1 and wait for a fix (don't ask for ETAs).

Runs well, unfortunately since it is based off of CM11 it has the freezing issue after a reboot. It also borked my recovery and I had to reflash through fastboot. Otherwise it's not bad.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] raptorian:
I have the TyTN for over a month now.

I am frustrated with the fact the device halts in various situations.

For example, today, it just halted with no apparent reason.

When I try to do soft reset, the device is getting past a certain point and halts. Only after I do several soft resets it then boots.

I am suspecting some SPB software I have installed on the device and/or the Resco file explorer.

I would realy appriciate some help on this.

It really drives me nuts.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sleuth255:
No halt issues with Spb software here and I use pocket plus, time, backup and weather.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Lucas0511:
I think (someone correct me if I am misled) on some Tytn/microSD memory card combinations it it critical to run the Today plugins from main memory, not from the card. Try it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] raptorian:
I have actually did a hard reset and did not re-install the SPB software I used to use.

What you are suggesting maybe right, since all of the plugins I used were installed on the external memory card.

Until now everything is fine and working as they should.

I will test this later today to see if this might be the case

thanks for the help
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zugok:
I have a 2012 Samsung Galaxy note 10.1 A4.1.2

Is there a mod or app that will allow me to resize a floating multi window (pen window in the the newer devices) to a smaller than the approximate screen size of 7 cm x 11cm? I frequently use the app Quickpic in that mode but it would be helpful to get the window using up less screen space.

On the newer 2014 Note 10.1 models the window also seems limited to a similar minimum size, even though the screen resolution is much greater.

Is there also a way I can resize or remove the top window bar?

Thank you for your time and efforts

hello everyone,

I read somewhere that LG Optimus G Pro has no stock recovery.

Similar to Samsung devices that can flash CWM via odin from download mode, is there a current method or trick on how to flash CWM via LG Tool in download mode ?
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
The g pro has a stock recovery mode.

No there is no method similar to Oden for flashing recovery on the g pro. That I know of.

If u are on. 4.1.2 just root and use freegee From the play store.

If u are on 4.4 KK. There there is an apk

You can download off xda that will install a recovery.

FreeGee

FreeGee version 1.9.23 does not have options to unlock bootloader or disable security. Only shows choices to backup/restore EFS and shows both CWM and TWRP. Do you choose the recovery and it auto unlocks/diable security?
[LG Optimus G Pro] souleater11:
This confusing.

I am running stock JB on unrooted E080 variant, and when I use the fastboot App to go to recovery mode, it only shows the Android robot recovery logo without any recovery text options.

But when I manually perform the recovery mode, (Vol Up + Power) it only boots to a black screen without any Android robot and a blinking home button.

Esimon, are you sure the first attachment picture is from the At&t LG Optimus G Pro e980 ?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Damjan94:
Is there a way to enter stock recovery using key combination?(when the phone is powered off)
[LG Optimus G Pro] souleater11:
Manual Recovery Mode Steps

1. Press & hold Vol Up + Power

2. Hold Vol Up and unpress power when the LG logo is about to disappear

3. Keep Pressing & Holding Vol Up until the Recovery mode appears (1-5 secs)
[LG Optimus G Pro] Damjan94:
Thanks, but it didn't work :(

Is it possible that I somehow erased stock recovery when I tried to flash cyanogenmod?(Yes, I tired to flash cyanogenmod with stock recovery :silly:)
[LG Optimus G Pro] souleater11:
I have some questions.

1. whats the model variant of your LG Optimus G Pro ?

2. Did you tried flashing a cynogenmod with a Custom Recovery or ?

The reason for asking the 2nd question, is because, it seems impossible for me to access the Factory Stock Recovery (Android System Recovery 3e) on e980 version and I only get a black screen and a blinking home button.
