[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuitarGuy96:
Okay, so I'm not getting it.. Why do all these awesome music apps have to be so country specific..? I mean, people from other nations appreciate English music too, and are very capable of enjoying the benefits.. Why does USA get all the fun? I've got the apk of some apps (cause hey PlayStore is racist that way too) and now to find out it still doesn't work. Pandora, Play Music (Radio), Songza, a whole lotta other non music apps even.... What's with the apps not wanting to provide fun to the whole world? A genuine question.

Yeah, I've seen tons of guides and all for workarounds to getting those apps to work, but seriously, my question is WHY are they country specific in the first place?!?

Just looking for an answer, not a guide or tutorial to get them.

I have read many posts on this site that pertain to unlocking the Wallaby.

I have not actually tried it yet becuase I read that the XDAtools does not work on a wallaby without wmodem.exe. I happen to have a unit that seems to old for the XDAtool unlock and I want to make sure I have this straight.

The Wallaby is:

ROM Version: A.30.09 ENG (upgraded from ppc2002)

ROM date: 01/01/04

Radio version: A.20.10

Protocol version: 324e4

Model No.: PW10B1

Thanks,

Kevin

Everyday i surf google and other thread i need i found out that calibrate battery is help to improve battery life for your phone

My battery life is suck i usually using phone out of 20% !!

Q:SHOULD I NEED TO CALIBRATE THE BATTERY ?

IS IT RIGHT TO CALIBRATE THE BATTERY LIFE LIKE THIS STEP BELOW ? !!

First Charge Phone to 100% (make sure the phone is completely 100%)

-Calibrate battery (using app or delete file in system)

then charge the battery to 100%

(DO LIKE THIS ABOUT 4 TIME TO CYCLE BATTERY LIFE) :confused: RIGHT GUY ?

hi all, i spent too much time switching trought kitkat cm roms, without finding a stable one for daily use, now i'm thinking to revert to jb, my question is simple, which way?

1-revert with odin?

2-flash a custom "basic" jb?

3-????

i heard there are "aligned and deoxed" jb stock roms, but i don't know what it means and how to get those, also, i need something that works with cocore, at least to speed up things a little bit.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
You can flash stock ROM with CWM, but you can't over 4.4. Because it has repartitioned preload partition to be used for swap. It will bootloop if you just flash stock ROM. You can try this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2612540

Or you can flash stock JB firmware that can be found on samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com. You must use I9070 firmware over I9070 phone or I9070P firmware over I9070P phone, otherwise you will hardbrick your device.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomtechgeek:
Hi All I have just purchased a new nexus 5 (gear live pre-ordered) in a curious attempt to have a go at android from my Iphone 5c.

I am tweaking the handset at the moment to give me some lost functionality from IOS. I have stumbled across a really painful problem that i can not find a solution to. I use a pair of bose wired earphones to listen to music and use as hands free in the car. On my iphone, I am used to to pushing the mic button and activating the voice dial from the locked screen, all good.

When i try doing this on my nexus, i get the "can not use OK Google until the phone is unlocked" message in my ear.

I have to have a passlock on the handset due to work security restrictions.

Does anyone have a work around for this? I am hoping my new gear live will keep the pass lock when in close proximity (A major flaw otherwise - unlocking your phone before you can see anything on your smartwatch!) in the interim though, putting a pass key in the phone every time i want to make a call whilst riving is pretty poor!

currently on stock 4.4.4. not rooted yet -

Thanks all
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wh1t3Rose:
I'll be honest and say that being able to make a call with the phone being pin locked would be a security risk. Now as for a workaround I can only think of one thing that would work but it requires some time to configure things correctly.

You could us ethe app tasker to automate this. You can set a profile for when you are in your car. When you are driving in the car (e.g. moving over 10 MPH) you can have tasker turn off your PIN Lock. Then when you get out of your car (eg not moving) it would reenable your PIN lock.

If that's too hard to configure (I can show you if you are interested in the above method) You can just set up a much simpler profile in tasker that whenever your BT headset is connected disable your PIN lock. THough this is less secure.

Those are the only options I can think of and honestly I would be surprised if anyone came up with a true solution to this :)

Android 4.4.2 on padfone x rooted. Even before root SDcard shows as there but doesn't install anything to. Uses on board storage. Any fix for this

Sent from my ASUS PadFone X
[Asus Padfone X and S] rlridgeway:
I think the problem is not so much a Padfone issue but a Kitkat one. Apparently Android no longer allows 3rd party apps to write to a SD card. They say this is for security reasons. Native apps seem to write just fine to a memory card. Here is an article explaining this:http://www.androidcentral.com/kitkat-sdcard-changes

There are workarounds. First search for SD card fix in Playstore. There are some apps that are supposed to fix this. I am not sure how well these work however. I think there are some custom roms that also deal with this.

I am going to try another method. I will save to the internal storage then, using the native file manager, transfer the files to the SD card. When I need to use those files transfer them back into internal storage. This method is a a bit cumbersome and may not work as well as I hope but I kind of understand the security concerns. I do not have a lot of storage needs and for the most part will just use internal storage but for those other times will try this method.

format

Hi. Have you tried formatting your SD to exFat format?

I have been experiencing problem with 32 GB NTFS SD (all galleries stopped working, even internal storage was unable to reach). Luckily, exFat is working like a charm now :)
[Asus Padfone X and S] 8125Omnimax:
Exfat does seem to be the new standard. From what I have read it is the only format that allows uhs-1 microsd cards to properly record video in HD and UHD.

For example I tried a 16gb class 4 card in my PFX formatted in fat32 and exfat . UHD recording was very corrupted on both formats. On my SanDisk ultra uhs-1 16GB, everything was smooth.

When you format any card in the PFX, it will format as exfat by default.

The PFX chipset is rated to handle the UHS class Micro SD cards and you do see a notable speed difference when transferring files.

Compare this to the galaxy note 3 which formats anything you throw at it into exfat and transfer speeds are horrible
[General Questions and Answers] chrisgeller:
Hi all,

I’m looking for a way to keep my SMS backed up and synchronised between two phones.

Basically want I’d like to be able to do is move my sim card between my two phones with relative impunity.

All my emails, contacts, photos (Dropbox), Spotify preferences, podcast preferences, voicemail (Hullomail) are kept up to date in the cloud.

The only exception seems to be SMS.

I’d like to be able to see my full SMS history when I switch between phones, and I don’t want to have to fiddle around with setting up manual downloads each time I want to do this. In theory this should make changing phones at any point much easier – not sure why more people aren’t interested in it.

There’s MySMS Mirror; that seems to be $10 per year.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mburdzy:
OK guys I've completely given up.... I've completely bricked one phone and keep soft bricking another and have a third laying around, and I just can't figure it out.

I have a G2. The GPS works in stock 4.2.2 (Tested in GPS status and toolbox app) then I root and flash a new 4.4.2 ROM (tried Malladus and Mahdi) and bam the GPS doesn't work anymore.

When I revert back to stock (through lg flash tool) it works again. HOWEVER, if I just flash the stock 4.4.2 LG ROM GPS works once agai.

Do you guys have any clue wtf is up? I can't figure it out... I've tried changing the GPS config, the drivers, every tool in GPS toolbox. Tried GPS test and I just get nothing. Is there something completely obvious that I'm missing here?

I've also tried the trick where I backup my custom ROM, revert to stock and get GPS lock then restore my custom ROM. doesn't work.

thanks!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simon_lefisch:
Try getting a GPS lock on stock using GPS test. Then go into maps and verify the lock is OK. Let it sit in maps for a couple minutes. Don't press the back key, just use the home key and reboot into recovery and flash your ROM.

If that doesn't work, get a lock in stock using the same method and when flashing your ROM don't wipe /system. I know it sounds weird but I had that happen a few times with me and not wiping system allowed me to get a lock on the custom ROM.

Let me know how it goes.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mburdzy:
Ok I was able to fix it!

But in a completely random way.

I'll try to describe it in as much detail as I can so anyone who follows will not spend as much time as I did.

First: The problem. (This only happened in custom ROM)

In stock, my GPS worked fine, no problems and I got good lock and everything.

In custom ROM's, however:

My problem wasn't just that I couldn't lock on to satellites, I wasn't able to even see any satellites.

In GPS Test I wasn't seeing any satellites. In GPS Status and Toolbox in the middle right where it says fix/sat my phone was displaying -/-

I tried everything there was, from downloading GPS states to changing my gps.conf file to basically everything I could find online, and nothing worked.

Yet everytime I went back to a stock ROM, it worked perfectly 0.o.

Fix:

Today I gave it one last shot.

I'll try to describe everything I did down to the letter in case any of it makes a difference

I ran LG flash tool, let the phone turn on, but DID NOT activate.

Then I ran LG flash tool again, and let it activate and do it's thing.

From this point on I ran GPS status and toolbox, and I was both seeing satellites and locking on.

Then I turned on Maps (as suggested) and let it lock in on my position and sit there for a few minutes.

I ran ioroot and rooted.

Then installed TWRP.

I then intended to flash to TWRP 2.7.1.0 but somehow flashed 2.7.0.0, and didn't bother changing it. (I don't recommend doing this as it could cause problems.... I was just too frustrated to change)

I backed-up EVERYTHING.

Then I downloaded and saved onto my phone Malladus, Gapps, and the 11a-24-twrp.zip file that was needed.

I flashed it, and BAM it worked.

I turned it on, activated and immediately ran GPS status and toolbox and it worked right away.

Before if I flashed I would just get -/- in GPS status and toolbox, but now I find satellites and lock quickly.

Good luck to anyone who has this problem!

Try following my steps, they may just work.

And thank you for the help!

Hi friends

I bought a used Acer Iconia W700 i5 128gb ssd 4gb Win 8 tablet.

After back to home i realized that a bios password set, called the previous owner about that but he said he did not set anything...

I went to Acer service but they did not looked at my tablet because its from out of my country! Nice policy!

Dear friends, do you have any idea how to solve bios password problem? I installed last bios but password still remains...
[Windows 8 General] e.mote:
If there isn't a means to reset the CMOS, the normal method is to remove the CMOS battery for a few minutes. That means you have to disassemble the system. From video below, it should be straightforward.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WkDrJq5cc8

Look for a button battery. If it's soldered in, you'll have to unsolder it. If you have no experience in opening up electronics, best find a tech. BIOS password is hard to reset for a reason.
[LG Optimus 3D] acem77:
The random bottom part of the phones touch screen starts to be randomly pressed,

It’s like the phone has a mind of its own, sometime is a few phantom presses and others it’s a full battle to keep the phone from random opening apps and calling people till I hit the lock button or pull the battery.

I have seen a few post about the phone over heating causing this, at 1st it seemed to be my issue, but now the phone does this while feeling relatively cool and right after removing the battery for a bit.

after some time the issue almost stops, this time i have a bit of a dead zone near the bottom right.

can this be calibrated or do i need to replace the part?

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fertchen:
Hi,

I have searched the forum for this and even though there are a number of cases they all seem different from this one. Instead of confusing matters more I decided to open a separate thread.

My Moto G (European version, en. DE, Android 4.4.2) so far had always been running for 7-10 days on a charge. Mobile data is off, GPS is off, data is off, WiFi is on only occasionally, no calls at all.

This has changed. My use is the same but the battery now drains at around 1.5-2% per hour, effectively cutting running time in half.

The only thing I (consciously) changed was to install SwiftKey. I have read that there have been issued like this with a previous version of it but that seems to have been fixed since 4.4 or so. Either way my other android device handles SwiftKey well so I am really not sure what might be causing this.

Of course I removed SwiftKey but that did not fix the problem.

The OS reports this battery usage: idle 35%, display 27%, cell standby 23%, Android system 5%, Android OS 3%.

Also I have no idea what kind of background update might have been made without me knowing it.

Do you have any idea what might be causing this? Is anyone of you experiencing the same issue?

From that i cant see anything but im sure that you are facing a wakelock from the qcamera2factory, you usually get this wakelock from apps such as Skype and Snapchat, force close these types of applications and hopefully you will get your great Battery life back. Those apps didnt allow me device to enter deep sleep so i was loosing a lot of battery life and to check if you have this wakelock you need root because of kitkat permissions but if you dont want to root then just force close those applications and wait a few days and test it out.
