[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomfatkid:
So I'm having issues with the Play Store. It keeps force closing when I try to launch it. I've rooted my device, installed Superuser SU and updated it as well. However, when I try to launch the Play Store or even update my apps, it keeps crashing. I've tried clearing cache/data and force stopped it with a reboot. It still does it. I've tried uninstalling the updates and rebooting, still happening. I even downloaded the updated APK for the store and it will open but then if an app tries to update, it'll close.

I even went so far and did a factory reset and it still does it.

It kind of sucks because I'd like to be able to download apps, etc.

Any clue/ideas what I can do?

I'm using LG L70 from MetroPCS
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhishek 9650:
just change the apk with latest one in /system/app

make sure to delete the first apk and rename the app name to 'phonesky'

reboot
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomfatkid:
I tried deleting it using ES File Explorer but it says it can't delete it. :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhishek 9650:
first you have to mount r/w . you can find this option under menu under root explorer option . and mount r/w and then delete the app and you need to be rooted for that

Hey guys I just got back from a 6 month deployment. And once I got back to the states I got the update icon on my phone. I am looking for a good ROM to flash and I have totally brain farted on how to make sure TWRP is up to date. I went to goo manager and it says everything is up to date.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
Latest twrp is - https://www.dropbox.com/s/z1uaefffkfiwequ/TWRP-2.7.1.1-Hammerhead.zip just flash it in the twrp you currently have
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milleirish:
Cool thanks worked. Now just need to decide what ROM to flash.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BirchBarlow:
Thank you for your service. Don't use GooManager, it's unstable and causes many problems. TeamWin doesn't even recommend GooManager anymore. If you must use an app they recommend TWRP Manager.
[Moto X Q&A] drozek:
So I want to wipe everything from my phone, is there a way in recover to wipe everything and then just flash a new ROM?
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Wipe everything, as in your data/apps? Sure, factory reset. It can be done via stock recovery or via the settings menu on your phone.

As for flashing a new rom... Stock roms can be flashed via RSDLite (which can also erase any data/apps), or via mFastboot... if its a custom rom, they usually get flashed via 3rd party recovery.

so exactly what are you looking to do?
[Moto X Q&A] drozek:
I am looking to get it completely wiped, keep nothing on the phone, no pictures, music, etc.
[Moto X Q&A] br0adband:
Easiest way: go into Settings - Backup & reset - tap Factory data reset, on the next screen tap Reset phone, on the next screen tap Erase everything and then let it do its job. When it's completely done it'll reboot twice (once to wipe which is done from the recovery - it's a different wipe, however), and then a second time to start up "factory fresh" where the phone is in out-of-box condition, internal storage will be wiped as well at that point (no personal data, nothing left on it at all).

This way is different from the recovery "data/cache" wipe which just resets the device but leaves the internal storage with your data still in place.

There's no need to flash a "new ROM" on it, but that can be done as well if you absolutely must do it, either manually using mfastboot and the img files or just using RSDLite. You have to use mfastboot because the traditional fastboot won't flash the system.img file, it's too large hence the mfastboot variant which can do it.
[HTC One Mini] hall599:
Hello,

Want solid rom menu with good blacklist like cyanogenmod ?
[HTC One Mini] AnGrY sCoTsMaN:
I would opt for pac-man rom. It has blacklist in the phone and messaging settings. Plus it super slim, stable, nightly updates an has the best features that are out there. 3g speed hack, loopy smoothness, double tap to wake to name a few.... Basically all the features people are wanting are in this rom and have been since it came to the mini. Battery life excellent also plus it's on Android 4.4.4 . You should give it a shot
[HTC One Mini] hall599:
Thanks, but only dont like nighly thème
[HTC One Mini] AnGrY sCoTsMaN:
Nightly isn't a theme. Nightly means that there are minor updates, tweaks to the rom on a Nightly basis but it is very stable. and if you mean the theme is too dark, well it also has the new cm theme manager installed too.... ... There are plenty of lighter themes to choose from
[HTC One Mini] AnGrY sCoTsMaN:
heres some screenshots of a white themed pac rom seeing as you dont like dark:

Only got the phone today and all. At stock as far as I know. If you lock and then unlock the phone, this can fix the issue. Until the next time you lock and unlock the screen that is. It does not happen if you boot into the boot menu/recovery, it does begin to happen in the Android boot up sequence, a specific point, in fact. The phone is plugged in the video because I was charging it, but it does it when not plugged in as well. Factory reset doesn't do much but why would it? As I say, it was already at stock. Seems to be an issue peculiar to me because I can't find anything about it. Any ideas?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SbM_:
I'd say your phone is faulty. You should ask for it to be replaced. Sorry.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] cjranucci:
So here is the issue. I need to display an app on a 50 inch touchscreen display in portrait orientation. This display should emulate the app running on a handset. It is a simple app that shows news for my company. There is a tiled interface with each tile representing a news story. You can swipe through different pages of tiles.

What I need to do is get this app running on a touchscreen display in the hall way. Users can approach it and open stories and swipe through the pages of tiles.

I have the app up and running on a G Box displaying on a 46 inch regular display. Easiest solution is to get a touchscreen capable display to run input to the G Box.

Question: Can the G Box accept input from a touchscreen device? Which display would be easiest to use? I inherited this project from some rather incapable people who tried to connect a touchscreen display to find that the display is for Windows / Mac only. Suggestions for a 50" touchscreen display that would work in portrait orientation welcome.

If a touchscreen display won't work with the G Box, need suggestions for another way to do this.

Thanks, in advance.

I've had the Galaxy S5 about 3 weeks now, and this has been happening increasingly and its rather annoying

I would use the phone, lock it and when i got to use it, only the buttons light up, phone would vibrate and restart

Has anyone encountered this and found a solution? Or is it a device problem
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deenug666:
Same thing here. Except for the vibrate and restart. I'll get a text or email open and I lock it up, the next time I try to unlock, only the buttons light up for a few minutes. It seems to correct itself after those few minutes.

I Relocked my HTC ONE M8 watching this video titled "How to Unroot the HTC One M8 Complete Guide". At the time didn't know "M8 All In One Kit" was block by Verizon but everything seem to go so smooth just like video. When I went back to bootloader to see if "S-OFF" change back to "S-ON" and it did but RADIO and OpenDSP showed "INVALID_VER_INFO", while OS is blank.

I would show a picture of my bootloader but at the time can't because being new user can't post links.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sandm4n:
Im guessing you may need to RUU... but somewhere I read you need to be SOFF for that...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Heroxgxdeal:
yes it does
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Ok so from here what are you looking to do ? Sell it? Return it ? Why did you back to a on?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Heroxgxdeal:
Yeah you need to be S-OFF for RUU, I was wondering if Firewater doesn't work for me anymore because of Radio, etc is missing from bootloader.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Heroxgxdeal:
I was going wait for 4.4.3 OTA to come on M8 (Verizon) then sell it to friend, knowing nothing was wrong with the phone.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
Try to s off again. There's nothing wrong with you selling it to a friend with it s offed
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
..Being S-On.. you are stuck in the sense that we do not have a signed RUU for you to flash.

Your best bet is to try to re S-OFF your device, if you are able to do this, you can simply run the RUU, fix your device, and then go back to S-ON.. if you want, and then keep, sell it, what ever.

If you can't get it to S-OFF...

you may be stuck :(
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Heroxgxdeal:
Sorry for the late response, i'll try to re S-OFF my device and tell you if it worked. Wish me luck :)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Heroxgxdeal:
After doing the Adb method for couple times to get S-off, I had no success. I did get to paste the last command " /data/local/tmp/firewater" few times but it never progress to "Agree to Terms and Conditions you are prompted with" part.

Do you have any tips you can tell me to use adb method/weaksauce method.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] berndblb:
Honestly, you have to post way more specifics for us to be able to chime in....

Best would be to take screen shots of your cmd window so we can see the commands you put in and the return.

In lieu of that, post your specific commands, which option in the firewater instructions you followed etc.

The more specific , the better....
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] scuccia:
I went to S-ON and had the same issue.

What I did was keep the device with S-ON and flashed the firmware.zip from the OTA. Since its signed you can flash it while being S-ON.

This didn't fix it so I decided to send it back to VZW with the invalid version in hboot.

The last thing I wanted to do though was to get the developer options out of settings. So I turned off developer options and then cleared the data on Settings.

So now that developer options was hidden again I just let the device charge to 100%.

I figured I'd check the versions in hboot one last time and to my surprise it was correct.

I'm not sure what fixed it but I went from S-OFF to S-ON with invalid versions displaying to S-ON with valid versions displaying.

You could try the Sunshine method to S-Off your device or you could read through my previous post in this thread.

I had this same issue and somehow was able to get the version info to display correctly.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Heroxgxdeal:
I'm going to try the Sunshine method after I get the $25 payment to pay for the license. I can't flash anymore because i'm on stock recovery, I wanted to know what you meant by

. Do you mean factory reset?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] scuccia:
No, I went into App Manager, opened up the settings application and clicked on clear data. I then let the phone charge to 100%.

I also flashed the firmware.zip RUU from the OTA. You can do this while you're locked and S-On because its signed by HTC.

I have no idea what fixed it but I would try flashing the firmware.zip and then boot up into Android and let it sit for a while.

If that doesn't work then you could try clearing data on Settings and let it sit for a while again. I don't think that will do anything though, that's just what I did.

I'm finally S-OFF again using the Sunshine method,thank you very much to everyone that help me.

the S2 charger is 0.7A and the GRAND 2 charger is 1.0 A. so, buying a S2 charger will never help. You will be stuck on 94% for a very long time. You need a 1A charger for Grand 2.

[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeonzYT_XDA:
This one kind of problem is kinda the hardware based and not the software. As you can see guys, if you reviewed every single reply and solution. The charger is the problem with some replies, so the charger from S2 will make you get stucked on some certain point of 90% to 94% but if the Grand 2 charger will never have problem.

Conclusion: Use you're own charger (Typically the original charger u have when u got ur phone)

Hi,

Today I installed the latest CM11 version and everything went fine. The room booted correctly. Then I tried to reinstall bmm but the installed gave me a busybox error and uninstalled bmm completly. After that I rebooted the phone but it is bootlooping on the M logo and a black screen.

Is there any way I can fix the bootloop without having to fxz with rsd lite and lose all my data?

Thank you.

I got bored and my battery was having issues where it doesn't update correctly on the status bar so I decided to open the tablet up.

Everything seem to be in place and no loose wires, Here we go. Attempt this at your own risk.

--> Remove the screws in each housing where the dock will go. Be careful the screws are very small.

--> Stick that screw driver in there. after removing the screw, use the screwdriver to push on the screen upward from inside the housing. Push gently.

And you can go along the screen with a plastic prier to lift the rest of the screen. Once you done that

--> Here's the inside.

--> lift up the white strip tab to remove the cable. Be Gentle ( located on the left side of the tablet )

--> Lift up the black strip tab to remove the cable. Be Gentle ( located on the back of the screen )

--> removing these cables will disconnect the screen from the tablet itself.

--> A interesting find. The metal housing where the dock goes was loose when i opened up the tablet. (I dont have a dock yet) so the housing was loose out of the box. This is probably what was causing all the loose locking mechanism for the tablet and dock. (Dat arrow)

[Asus Transformer TF701] suprtrukr425:
Wow, I could have used this about 24 hours ago. I ended up just winging it anyway, I was actually regretting not taking pictures so I could post a teardown like you just did.

I was also going to post the possible WiFi fix I attempted. When the tablet is opened up, there are four little springy tabs (pogos?) on the top right corner of the motherboard that connect to the screen when assembled (two for WiFi, two for GPS). My suspicion is that they were not connecting fully from the motherboard to the back of the screen. I had been having problems with WiFi dropping out which coincidentaly started around the time my tablet developed screen click. In an attempt to fix the screen click, I pressed firmly around the bezzel which I suspect pushed my pins down far enough to create connection issues.

What I did was simply stretch the pins back out towards the screen contacts. It did seem to help a little bit, but I have been brainstorming a better way to ensure contact.

All that being said I am no developer. I got the idea from here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgx2Kpfi-Ps

Also, I take no responsibility if you try this method, and break your device.
