[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigBadSheep:
Hi everyone

I have one question: does anyone know how to improve or add more devices to the quickremote app, besides those presets. I mean, for air conditioning, I can't add my device, a Comfee, that quickremote won't see it. Or to add more functions to the remote, apart changing channels, volume, source input.

Thanks for any reply.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FiendFyre:
There is the universal remote function, which lets you create the remote by learning. Use that.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asankurs:
i tried universal remote but that also didnt worked for my lloyd ac remote dont know what's the problem
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingoljosh:
You might not be doing it right. (no offence) :laugh:

If you have a remote that works with an IR Blaster the quick remote will learn it flawlessly,

BUT if you have a remote that works on Radio frequency (like some AC long range remotes) it OBVIOUSLY will not work.

Make sure your remote has an IR (InfraRed) LED.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shriom_manerker:
lg didnt use the standard libs to make the IR work on our devices, hence other apps dont work. my friend uses some app from playstore which has a online library of almost EVERY DEVICE OUT THERE ! on his galaxy s4. so to piss him off i showed him 60 fps videos :p , but sadly that still means no much ir support for us
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asankurs:
My remote has an IR LED ... I tried before also that using my samsung tv remote and universal remote that worked

but after learning keys of lloyd Ac the buttons of universal remote dont don anything ... how can i make it work ?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mor_1228:
i have carrier ac it also didnt had support for that but my device easily learned all the buttons of my ac remote and now i dont know where my actual remote is. my device remote is working absolutely fine with no problem.

if u have rooted mobile then try changing country and region in build prop where u live. because i saw many people saying that after changing region and country they got more products listed in remote.

Does Smart IR Remote work on the G2? I heard a lot of praise for it when I had the Note 3.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mor_1228:
nope no remote works on lg except native lg app
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skizzy034:
That sucks. Why do all these companies have to try to be different with the little things like that? It's an IR Blaster LG. No one is gonna care, or even notice, if you use different libs than Samsung or other companies.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mor_1228:
yeah thats a sad thing
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NicoC72:
Not true, I believe IR Universal Remote from Wavespark works. LG released the SDK for the IR blaster, it's just very people know about and the ones that do don't want to have to develop a whole new app to work with it. The reason HTC and Samsung devices have widespread support is because they use the Android IR API. If someone could find a way to make that API work with the LG interface, we should be able to use any IR app we want.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingoljosh:
lol :D

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jankhner:
I have a very annoying problem on CM11 based roms. WIFI works only for an hour or so, after that it always gives me Force close. Or alternatively I can open WIFI settings but it doesn't find any WIFI networks.

I remember I read somewhere that someone fixed this kind of problem by deleting some wifi related directory but I can't find that message any more.

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeroed:
Did you do full wipe after installing the rom?Usually solves and prevents that kind of problems.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jankhner:
Yes I did. I solved this problem by deleting the /data/misc/wifi directory
[NFC Hacking] replicamask:
I have a done a bit of looking but all I've come up with is mainly 'use trigger' or something like it. But my question is: Is there a way with Trigger to write a tag that anyone can read? Or is there another NFC tag writer app that I should use?

The thing I want to do is make a tag for friends to tap when they call over that will connect them to my wifi network, but if they have to go and download trigger first then no one is going to use my tag.

Sorry if this is a re-posted question, I looked and didn't see it anywhere here and when I put the title in there was no recommended threads that had what I was asking.
[NFC Hacking] daniel_loft:
I've tried different apps, and it looks like connect to wireless is not one of the default actions that is included in Android. I've only found connect to bluetooth.
[NFC Hacking] wakdev:
Hi, you can use NFC Tools for that.

All records on "write" tab is compatible with other NFC device.
[NFC Hacking] nookin:
I am new to NFC and I am a little confused about what NFC can do. I have the nfc-tool App and I can read many NFC tags that I have.

But for an Android phone with NFC support, without installing any 3rd party App, what can it do? Is NFC enabled by default? Are there native NFC apps that can trigger action, open URL, etc?

Also, since each NFC tag already has a unique identifier, it seems to me writing data to NFC tag isn't all that useful when only 1 phone is using it. As you could have just programmed the command to the phone. The same applies to multiple phones if you can program the phones through some other means. Am I missing something here?
[NFC Hacking] daniel_loft:
As I was saying, looks like what you want is only possible in Android L.

Have a nice day!
[NFC Hacking] ascsa:
Android has native build-in support for some simple standard NFC activities, like reading a messages/contact, open URL/URI, launch application etc. .For more sophisticated activities you will always need an app to parse the tag content and handle the activities.

yep, fully agree. Have a look at NFC ReTag ;)
[NFC Hacking] nookin:
I'm a newbie here. I have a phone running 4.2.2. How do I make it read an NFC tag and take action without installing additional app? Just tap?
[NFC Hacking] nookin:
So I finally found an official NFC tag in mall. When I place my phone on it, it asks me to choose between stock Browser and Chrome. I guess if I have already chosen a default, it will just open a webpage. Now I wonder if there are security concerns. What if the URL is malicious? What if it downloaded a lot of data when the user is roaming?

I wonder what other functions an NFC tag can trigger without installing additional Apps? If I buy writable NFC tags, like the Samsung TecTiles, can it be programmed just like the mall NFC tag?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] benk016:
So I've not updated my phone in a while. I decided maybe it was time to update to a more current ROM and I see that there have been a lot of updates and different options now.

I have the ATT S4, running 4.2.2 I337UCUAMF3-SHOstock-V2.3

Kernel: 3.4.0-Jeboo_kernel_v1.5+

Baseband: I337UCUAMDL

I like having a near custom ROM with as little additions as possible. What do I need to update to for the most current roms, or some updates that I need to stay away from. Sorry if this is a bit noobish. I got too far behind on this and all the different levels of updates have me all confused.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
If you're running a custom kernel, then that means your bootloader is compatible with the loki exploit, and you should never flash any ODIN package besides MDL and don't flash any zip file that includes bootloaders. Other than that, you can flash any ROM you like. There's a stock prerooted NC1 zip which is the latest stock firmware with no mods but root. Just make sure you flash the version that doesn't include bootloaders and you'll be good to go. I don't know if it includes the kernel in the zip, but if you want to keep your custom kernel then just reflash it afterwards and make sure you flash loki if it doesn't by itself. Additionally, if you upgrade to a 4.4 ROM, I believe you will need to flash a 4.4 modem to get working sound and radio. You can use the flashable zips in RockRatt's thread safely through your recovery.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] cx1964:
Maybe a stupid question, but for me it is a problem.

Yesterday I had I problem after upgrading tot android 4.4.4.

Before the upgraded I had the Titanium Pro installed.

I used Titanium Pro to create I backup of my apps and data to the cloud.

I returned tot android 4.4.2. factory image via fastboot.

After I succesfully returned to 4.4.2 my Nexus 7 2013 did the initial standard setup (the same setup which is done when I started my Nexus for the first time). Then google started to restore my installed apps. But then something went wrong so not all my apps were restored (including Titanium Backup Pro). I need this app to restore all my data and previous installed apps.

If I go to google play and look in "my apps" it is indicated that Titanium Backup Pro is installed.

But if I look at all my apps, I see no Icon for Titanium Backup.

What should I do?

I dare not to uninstall it, because I am afraid that I have to buy again for the app, I already have paid for.

Any suggestions?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] NuckinFutzz:
no worries

you can just uninstall and reinstall titanium(and ANY other apps) all you want, once you buy an app from the store it's bought forever across ALL devices. I've bought it once and installed it and still use it myself on 5 different devices and only payed once. I've factory reset and installed new ROMs on all my devices many times and each time just go to the store and reinstall it without paying. no worries there :cool:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] cx1964:
Thanks. I deinstalled the app then installed. Now it works perfectly again.

[Android General] msmsmsmsms:
When I was trying out a newly launched launcher called Aviate by Yahoo, I landed up on the most amazing thing.. This launcher can uninstall bloatware without root. Previously, I only had the option to disable these stupid app, but now they're out.

Here are the steps:

1. Install Aviate launcher from play store. Link

2. Go to launcher and then go to apps list by swiping left twice (rightmost page).

3. Hold to select the app and drag to uninstall at the top. Click Uninstall. (Make sure bloatware is visible/enabled first)

Limitations: Cannot remove things like GMail and Google+. Can remove stuff like NQ antivirus, Facebook, preinstalled Games, twitter, etc.

I do not know how this works or is even possible, but it works for me. Let me know if this method works for you guys. It worked for me on ZTE Blade G2. I checked with root checker basic to confirm that there was no root.
[Android General] BuntyS5:
Didn't worked for me

It's not working on my Micromax Unite 2 (A106) - Kitkat 4.4.2
[Android General] Planterz:
I really, really doubt that what you think is happening is actually happening. A launcher can't uninstall system apps. Not without root. Launchers typically don't do this even with root. If anything, it's simply making certain apps "hidden", or disabling them, which you can do without root by going into the app manager.

[HTC One X] classic20:
If I can manage to fix this issue, I am officially done tinkering with the damn phone. It's just too stressful for a noobie.

Here's what I did prior to the phone not booting anymore:

- decided to install a custom kernel (XM Kernel) because I thought it would help with my battery life issue

- flashed XM kernel modules from ZIP with recovery

- wiped Dalvik cache

- rebooted into Fastboot mode

- erased cache in fastboot

- flashed the kernel boot.img

Rebooted the phone but it got stuck at the logo screen for a long time. So, I decided to restore a backup I had created on CWM recovery.

- forgot to first wipe phone first and tried restoring it. Still got stuck at the logo

- wiped data/factory reset and also wiped cache partition

- applied the restore again and rebooted

- still stuck at the logo :(

Any idea on what to do and restore my phone?

Here are my phone "specs":

Rooted

Bootloader = unlocked

S-ON

HBOOT - 1.72.0000

CPLD - none

MICROP - none

Radio - 5.1204.167.31

eMMC-bootmode = disabled

CPU-bootmode = disabled

HW secure boot = disabled

Modem Path = Off

Recovery version: CWM recovery version 5.8.4.0 (non-touch)

When I clicked that, it sent me to the page in the settings which said "click here to update to 4.4.4". I clicked it and the phone rebooted like it normally does to update and then nothing happened. when I got back to the normal booted phone, its still running 4.4.3 and I cant find the update zip file laying around in my /cache or /data partitions.

Really?!?! Android L was ANNOUNCED today!!!!! Take a break and have a kitkat :cyclops:
[LG Optimus 2x] Wooby:
I think his name will be lolipop or something like this
[LG Optimus 2x] ilooze:
no way that we will have android L. It's too much devs are working hard on kitkat and it is not even stable so I think there wil be no Lollipop. Or maybe an alpha build by someone but no stable for daily use :confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] Zubeplanet:
we could make a community version, where everyone works together to get a rom which is ****ing every other rom. not based on aospa or cm. A real own rom, only for our loved p990
[LG Optimus 2x] lolypop000:
This is good question, why this last two or more years build new rom on cm and aosp base when they know about bug and this bug is in every new version.

I think is time that someone who know how, build new rom from begining and not from base with known bugs.

If we use for build house brocken brick and house will colapse and then again use broken brick, house will colaps again and the same is with rom.

If you use over and over again base with bugs, they will be always present in every new rom.

IMHO we need fresh start for new rom and only then is possibility that rom will work with no bugs.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jeffdaman:
I have recently started having an issue where I can be outside of any apps and when I hit my physical volume buttons it is controlling the media volume not the call volume. I have been freezing various apps to see which is running as media in the background to cause this; keep in mind that no media is playing. How can I find out which app is causing the media volume to persistently be controlled by the volume key? Has anyone else had the issue?

I can restart the phone and everything is fine for awhile. I use Tunein radio before the issue happens. It is an old version of Tune In that I have backed up, and used for over a year using Titanium backup (never had an issue with this). Freezing Tune In doesn't stop the media being the controlled volume by the physical volume button. I've frozen every media app I've used to no avail. Thanks, Jeff.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gvrman:
Before I had a firetv I used a raspberry pi which I controlled via my tv remote. very usefull, especially for my girlfriend. does someone know how to enable CEC on my fire tv?

thanks
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fgarcor:
It is enabled by default. The only thing that it does is to switch on your tv when you switch on your fire tv. And change the input source of your tv.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbox:
No. It allows control over CEC if your TV is cool enough. I was able to use arrow keys and select over CEC. I think back even worked.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gvrman:
hmm my LG TV doesn't see my firetv.. or does it only work when xmbc is started?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbox:
CEC is nothing to do with XBMC. If it works depends really on your TV. I just got lucky that my Toshiba supported it. But it is very limited and not really a good choice for control.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luxferro:
Actually CEC could be so much better than it is. Problem is every manufacturer calls it something else, and only enables certain features. And the limits don't just apply to any one device.

My whole entertainment system has CEC capable devices. My TV, my AVR, my PS4, chromecast, and when I had a HTPC it also had CEC via RCAware and event ghost. When I used a HTPC, everything revolved around it. If it was sleeping, all devices would be powered off, if it was awake, I could setup event ghost to tell it which devices to wake. Event ghost gave the user the control to create scripts/programs, and pick and choose what devices should do what. Device manufacturers don't give us that choice, in the limited controls they enable.

My samsung UN55D8000 TV won't automatically turn on other devices when it's turned on, because samsung doesn't think people should do that. Instead they want you to go through a bunch of menu's and manually select a device and then it turns in on via CEC. But they allow the TV to send power off commands to all CEC devices when the TV is powered off.

If you play to a chromecast from your phone/tablet, it will automatically turn on your TV and switch to the correct input. But it won't turn on my AVR that it is plugged in to.

It all comes done to the manufacturers, and how them implement it, and what control and/or features they allow the consumers to use. I wish someone would create a standalone device that can be programmed to do what you want (like my RCAware and event ghost combo), but without the need of a host OS.

Yesterday I've rooted my own defy, installed CM11 nightly 20140704 and it's working very well, camera usage does not reboot phone.

I had problems with camera also, a friend gave me a Defy green lens, with MS2Ginger v3 (I think it's CM7 based) on it and camera worked, but phone usage was...like in the stock ROM, many times you could not dial out, it just hung up. Flashed SlimKat on it and camera kinda works but phone restarts very often when using it, when I receive a call it rings for sometimes 5 s before the screen come on, but it let me dial out in the first attempt.

SlimKat UI feels faster to me (no benchmark done). but picking up an incoming call is somewhat faster on CM11, let's say a maximum of 3 s.
