[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayochs:
so in my brief time with the galaxy s5, I saw how Samsung decided to remove lock screen widgets which irked me. I see they're continuing their antics with the tab s series.

this makes things like Google music and Netflix useless when using chromecast etc because it removes the easy way to just pause and skip via the lockscreen.

I installed xposed and installed a Galaxy S5 mod that was supposed to enable lock screen widgets again, which I'm sure it did for the s5 users but it doesn't work on the tab.

does anyone have any idea or solution as to the best way to do this? there has to be a way.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leebrunet:
Hate this!

Same here, have you found a work around? I mean just listening to music makes it harder to just pause and restart. Always need to make pattern, very annoying!
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenkiller:
Yeah....this sucks.

Lockscreen Widgets for rooted Users

Guys, do we have a solution in the meantime or still have to install an alternate launcher ? I am on SkyHigh ROM 4.4.2. and want to stay there for the next months... ;)

I thought [MENTION=2176838]THEDEVIOUS1[/MENTION] (he did it on his ROM) and maybe [MENTION=3065070]Goldie[/MENTION] (he did it on the s5 I think) might have a solution for us ?

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miss v:
tl;dr

Phone is wiped every time it starts. Used stock, cm7, and reflash. All fail.

I can't figure this out.

Device: r800x (SE Xperia Play)

Android: 2.3.3 stock

Bootloader: Unlocked via sonymobile website

Issue:

I bought a r800x. I joined a wifi network, and signed in with a Google account. I downloaded SuperGNES, a Super Nintendo emulator from the Google store. I transferred a game to the r800x from another phone over bluetooth. The controller worked, the game worked, and I saved in-game, and with the save state feature.

The phone ran out of power, so I charged it. When I turned the phone on, all the games were gone. Even the game saves.

Flash forward, cm7, and reflash to stock.

I installed Snes9x, and Snes9x+ from the Google store and it can open the last game it played, but it won't recognize any in-game saves.

So it must be the emulators or something?

Extra:

I noticed any file written to the r800x's external from a computer (/mnt/sdcard) do not get deleted. They're also flagged with RW permissions. The files that get deleted have RWX permissions.

This means all the cm7 files are still there.

I can save SNES ROMs to the SD card and they survive the startup wipe. They have RW- permissions and can't be used by apps. RWX ones get deleted, but can be used.

Any file brought in via bluetooth, download or cloud is destroyed on phone startup.

Snes9x load game path is in /data/data and the last game played survives, but doesn't recognize in-game saving. All emulator save states are wiped.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miss v:
Solved

Reset the phone to factory. Tried downloading files/anything. It worked! Then downloaded Snes9x not from the play store, but the authors site.

The problem went away.

IIRC, there's a tiny flash icon inside the battery indicator, when charging is in effect.

Otherwise, you can go into settings->power, where it will list whether or not the unit is on AC power or battery power...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apollostees:
Whats up XDA,

I just got my xperia z2 and rooted it. I love most everything, but the dialer app is very annoying.

Frequently when I make calls the app wakes up the screen, senses a touch from my cheek, then it presses digits.

I tried installing an alternate dialer, but it seems that dialer apps are basically contacts apps. Nothing changes the actual app responsible for calls.

Does anyone know of a good alternative?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm007:
Its something with the proximity sensor,maybe faulty unit or software update can fix it or u put a bad screen protector that hide the proximity sensor.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotton666:
I have exactly the same problem. Very annoying.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ankit7070:

I had same issue with my Xperia Z2. But ExDialer is working well for me now.

Can you try it? Search Play Store for "com.modoohut.dialer" and you will get it.
[Wear OS General] SkuzFoz:
I thought an instrument tuning app for Android Wear would be one of the most obvious good uses for the platform. I have zero ability to make one myself, so I thought I'd put the idea out there.
[Wear OS General] das7771:
A guitar/instrument tuning app would be awesome. Tuning my bass or my acoustic guitar from my wrists would be pretty sweet.
[Wear OS General] SkuzFoz:
Now that Time has decided to bash Wear developers' app submissions so far for "missing the point", it's an excellent time to point out that this idea doesn't "miss the point" of Wear. It extends functionality of an Android instrument tuner out of the space of near-useless handling of the phone to get the job done, and into the wearable space where it's far more useful, applicable, and natural.
[Wear OS General] canezila:
+1 OP
[Wear OS General] ksong12:
I really like this idea. No input required, there's a microphone, and a fantastic form factor. All it needs to do is display what note it is, and have an indicator of how sharp or flat it is.

Great idea!
[Moto X Q&A] doitinthedirt:
On verison moto X 4.4.2 and have rooted with Pie, but trying to get towelroot working and not getting it. Have the app installed and says rooted but fx file explorer and su says no root.

I've read the towel root threads and not sure I understand.... busybox and gravity something NEED to be installed before towelroot will root?? Or does the towelroot app work by itself? I cant get it to.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Since we already have a towelroot thread, this question probably belongs inside there. The mods don't approve of opening duplicate threads.

YES, you NEED busybox - specifically the Stericson variant. Don't use any of the other variants (it is linked in the OP of the towelroot thread). Gravitybox / Xposed are OPTIONAL, and you do not HAVE to have them to use towelroot.

Other than that, I have no advice for you, other than post this IN the towelroot thread. Those people are more likely to be in a position to help you...

(I'm unlocked and don't use Towelroot / PIE)

Good Luck
[Moto X Q&A] doitinthedirt:
Well its a question thats why i put it here.. I read thru the towel root threads and nothing looked simple so I started this here for SIMPLE step directions. I have installed busybox and don't know what to do with it.. still no root with towel root, but continuously get root over and over by rerunning the last 2 commands of Pie root. Would be nice to be able to get root without rerunning Pie

My Simple steps so far

1. flash stock

2. downloaded towelroot and ran it, changed the last dig to a 1 (if that matters)

3. no root.

4. Pied my moto and got root and than rebooted and lost root.(expected)

5. tried towel root again and still no root. (not expected, thought i would have root)

6. made this thread :) downloaded busybox and installed it. don't know what else to do with it, says installed correctly,

7. rebooted and tried towel root again and still NO root.

8. ?? need help.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Questions are OK in their appropriate discussion threads....even if those threads are located in 'general'.

I can tell you that Towelroot has inherent limitations because of the SU context that is being used.

See here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53936577&postcount=108

and here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53960943&postcount=120

Although several of us (myself included) have tried to get the DEV to comment on the issue, we haven't heard a word back... For these reasons, it is suggested to use PIE and PIE only, and just try to avoid rebooting your device...
[Moto X Q&A] doitinthedirt:
Thanks for trying to help.. I'm about to give up.. Pie works great you don't need to run all 4 root commands.. just 3 and 4, the pushed files remain on the phone after reboot so just run 3 and 4 commands and rooted again.. wish it was possible to run those commands via and app!

Hiyas. Starting, i dont know if this is where i post for support for the cricket sch-r970 galaxy s4, hope to be directed to the right thread/forum etc...

What i have is a bad esn sch-r970 with no sim card from ebay. I use it liek a tablet, so it didnt bother me to be blacklisted, works fine. But i did i factory reset on the device, and upon restarting, it tried to activate, but it can't get past that screen since its blacklisted/no sim. Im looking for pretty much any stock rom that skips that screen, jbnon rooted would work. Rooted kk 4.4.2 would be the best though =P I've looked around for a week or so now, currently running liquid smooth till i can get the device back to stock. Any help is apreicated on finding a rom. =)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warboy:
Is it a US Cell or a SCH-R970C?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinkKokiri83:
sch-r970c on the back, had a cricket startup screen. i got it from ebay, so may or may not be a cricket to start with, but the back case has a cricket logo. need a stock rom thats bypassed the activation screen. i forgot the c on the model, my apoligies.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinkKokiri83:
i have a stock rom now, guess missing the c made it harder. still gets stuck on the activation screen. =( is there a bypass?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warboy:
Any AOSP should be able to bypass this screen, just install CM or AOSP roms, without gapps. Reboot, load up everything on the ROM, then go back to recovery and install gapps.

Now if you want TouchWiz, I can make a custom rom to remove activation.

Sorry for the late reply.

Took my Nexus 5 swimming (oops). I need a new phone and the unlocked Play Edition Xperia is tempting. Do y'all like the phone? Any complaints? I really dig ny N5 and will likely get another-just seems like the Xperia is a great value.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tr0teK:
Try the normal sony xzu. You can flash GPE over it. But you can't flash normal sony Rom on GPE xzu. It's a very special phone. It is really huge and you can't use it with one hand. If you want an Xperia in general get the Z1 or the new Z2. Otherwise if you really want to get a big screen like this one. Don't hold yourself back. It has a very neat design. Its very stable fast and pretty good. I love it but soooometimes it feels too big but then it's ok again. You should go into a random store where they sell it and you should hold it first before you buy it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] joluke:
Z Ultra is an awesome phone and i really love mine, and despite having both Note 3 and the Z Ultra C6833 and love'em both...

But stick to the Nexus 5... its better for you to buy a new one mainly because it has AWESOME support :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bowtieduece:
I just came from a nexus 5 and this phone is just as fast.

Unlocking the bootloader and root and recovery are done in a completely different way but not any more difficult. I love the phone I was extremely hesitant to buy it and nervous that I made the wrong decision.

But no regrets, I don't take a lot of pictures and that would be the only negative I could give this phone, gaming on it is awesome.

Hi

I just purchased one date 4014 and it appears to be fine. It has no more 'wobble' than other tablet dock combos that I looked at, for example the HP Slatebook X2.

There is a cheap fix that you can buy for 19 Euros delivered that removes the problem buy using pre-stuck shims that attach to the hinge.

Hi thanks for reading, I will tell you as quick as I can

Basically I got this Allwinner A31 Tablet Q102 and wanted to root it and flash it when I got it, so I got it only a week ago, week ago from tommorow.

I managed to root it with VRoot and then attempted to install CWM because ROM Manager would say that it isnt supported. So after tons of research I took the method of rooting an Onda tablet which was to use the ADB. I got the Recovery.tar extracted the files inside it and then did the

adb push /data/recovery.img

And stuff like that

After I did all that it told me to hold the VOL+/POWER to enter CWM, I held it for like 1 minute until CWM showed and it was working. CWM version was 6.0.2.7 I think. So I was like oh ok its working now. So then I rebooted the system using the first option CWM gave me. After it turned off it didnt turn back on. So I turned it on manually and all I see is a blank BLACK screen. Thats it. It hangs and does nothing. Cant enter Recovery, safe mode, the USB is not recognized. Infact it doesnt even connect anymore.

If I hold the power button, it turns off then once I let go it turns back on doing the same thing.

Please help me as I only just got the Tablet and can't afford to lose it. Theres too many files I need to keep, only some were moved to the SD card.

4.4.2 KitKat

[General Questions and Answers] addy187a:
Hey, I know I'm 1 year late to reply but I only just logged in to XDA since ages! I know right? Anyway, the way I fixed it was to download the firmware for the tablet which I found out by keeping a note about tablet model number (Settings> About device> Model) and spent a couple minutes searching for the firmware for it. Then I used Phoenix suite or just Phoenix can't remember what it was called to flash the tablet. There are plenty of YouTube videos and instructions on the web of how to use it, I can't remember how I did it as this was over a year and a half ago! It's as simple as that and words cannot describe how relieved I felt after reviving it. If an admin sees this, please close the thread. I'm still finding out how to use this site.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mrinehart93:
I am currently running my m7 with hboot 1.56, S-OFF, unlocked bootloader, and CM11. S-OFF was through rumrunner I believe, and the hboot is modified to appear stock (in case I ever need to use insurance). I have problems with data cutting in/out on my phone (both WiFI and 3G/4G), and I read in a previous thread that downgrading to 1.55 or upgrading to 1.57 fixed the problem. Is there any special procedure I should follow to do this? I'm going to be doing this later tonight as it's really getting on my nerves... And I'm not looking to end up with a brick :)

Also, off-topic for this thread, but my GPS cannot get a lock either. I have tried using various calibration tools from the Play Store with no luck. Anyone know a possible fix?

Thanks everyone!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] StormyNight:
Honestly idk. From what I know of RUU is guaranteed to work, so you want to back up everything and RUU to 5.03.651.3. I can think of another easier method that might work, but that may brick your device, so I won't list it here.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Devilish_Angel:
... first of all you should try the latest radios if you havent flashed them yet (link below), this might really help you and save you a lot of time flashing RUU or Rom ;) ...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BlockEight88:
Does anyone else notice that the LTE signal on this phone always seems on the weak end? For example, with the T-Mobile cell site about 10 yards away, my LTE reception is -90-95dbm. When sitting that close with my AT&T iPhone 5 (work phone) the signal is about -75-80dbm. What gives? I also notice that the phone does hold onto weak LTE signals, but I am seeing weak LTE signal more often than not. I have seen a -115dbm-120dbm LTE signal. Yes, data still works, my only concern though is that the battery life is getting sucked out of my phone?

Running stock, T-Mobile also likes to show 5 bars for a -109dbm LTE signal. That couldn't be more of an exaggeration could it? Also in my tests, I have noticed if you set the phone to WCDMA only, the signal is a lot stronger.

Anyone care to comment on this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
No issues for me. Even in the factory that i work at i am getting 4G LTE over people with ATT and its quite strong. LTE Tower is a good distance away.

Have you rooted or flashed anything? If its 100 percent pure stock, ask for a replacement. Or even re-flash the latest update to see if that helps.

The only issue i have and others have is where the outgoing data arrow constantly lights up but no data is coming in. I think its a T-Mobile programming bug in 4.4.2 as the issue didn't exist in 4.3 on my S4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BlockEight88:
Yes, but on average what is your dbm? Not going by bars.

T-Mobile also does not have a dense cell grid in my area which could be why. Already past the 14 day return window. Absolutely no device modification has even done.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Biker1:
I'm at full 5 bars on LTE 4G signal strength @ - 97 dBm
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BlockEight88:
Appreciate the response. Been doing some research lately, and I think its because t-mobile doesn't have many sites in my area. I don't think their frequencies travel far either. Maybe I am wrong, but wouldn't this cause very low LTE signal?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Biker1:
If the towers are far from you, I would think that would cause a weak signal.

You can try this app.

It may help to see where the issue may be regarding towers, etc

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.android.telnet
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BlockEight88:
That app just shows the -dBm as a widget. Anyone else notice a -109 or less signal showing 5 bars?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Biker1:
It does give you a more accurate signal bar strength indicator consisting of 14 bars and not 5 bars, as the stock indicator does. I'm at 11 bars.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
Ahh. I will have to check the dbm. I don't get full signal but i get like 2 bars. Sometimes four depending where i sit. Then outside, i get full bars. I'll double check the dbm outside with full bars. It should be in and around the -90s.
