This.

The price seems very low and i guess you can give it a try. In the worst case you will lose 5£ or so.

I guess they will work for a while but I'm on the same opinion as what you wrote above.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xWhiskey:
Exactly, and some of the reviews look completely rigged.

Anyway, by some stroke of luck I found what seemed to be the only shop in town that still had the EP500 model replacement battery in their storage, so no ordering via web-shop or other internet venues was necessary. I'm from Croatia, so it ended up costing 9£, which would be the exact equivalent as if I had ordered a similar model from Amazon, taking total shipping into account.

One day in, one call, ~10 SMSs and an hour of so worth of listening to music later, about 15% of the battery was spent, but keep in mind I only use 2G and the phone puts itself on airplane mode during night time.

So, I'm satisfied :) The only thing I can recommend is that you absolutely try your local vendors before trying anything else, as you do get warranty in most cases and you can easily return the battery if it explodes.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benj!:
Apologies if this has been posted 73 times before...

I'm running stock 4.4.4, rooted. I've noticed since a few versions ago (4.4.2, maybe) I will unlock the phone and it will open directly into the last app I was using, even if I was on the home screen/launcher when it was locked.

Once unlocked into the app, the back button is unresponsive (the 'glow' sticks when it's tapped) and the app often won't respond to anything other than scrolling (in Chrome, for example); I have to use the home button and relaunch the app before it works again.

Is this a known issue?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tannerrblake:
So I've been trying out a bunch of roms and I've decided I want to go back to a previous nandroid backup on TWRP that I made. I wipe everything, restore the backup and reboot, but it never boots past the stock Google animation (4 spinning dots, running CleanRom). Does anybody know how to fix this? Am I improperly restoring the backup, and if so how should I do it?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GermanGuy:
Restoring a nandroid backup is as easy as it gets. More than likely your backup nandroid is corrupt. You probably just have to install the basic ROM and start new.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tannerrblake:
That's what I ended up doing. Is it just bad luck on my end that it ended up like that? I don't want to continue making backups that won't work haha.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exocetdj:
get your custom recovery img and place it in your fastboot (or adb or whatever you called it) folder on your pc, for ease, rename it recovery.img

boot phone into fastboot

open up cmd and then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

then "fastboot erase cache"

then you should have a fresh recovery without any issues installed
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tannerrblake:
Thanks so much. Now that I think about it I don't know for sure if I'm on the latest version of TWRP, so I'll try that.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
What version of TWRP?

I had the same thing happen on my M8 back when I got it in early May. Couldn't get the nandroid to restore, so I ended up just flashing the desired ROM again and setting up the phone manually.

I've since updated TWRP and the restore works (new nandroid). Not sure if it was just a random thing, or a bug with that particular version of TWRP. But updating TWRP is a good place to start.

[General Questions and Answers] The-CROW:
Hello All,

Ever since the last update a couple of days ago Whatsapp has a new bug on my phone (SG S5), the phone will vibrate on all messages even when global phone setting is set to no vibrate. I read many users are having the same issue.

Beside waiting for them to fix this, my only solution is to downgrade Whatsapp. Can I downgrade it without being removed from the groups I'm in and I have created?

Any other solution?

Thank you kindly.
[General Questions and Answers] andreiav:
From my understanding, your issue is that your phone vibrates when you receive messages even though your global settings are set to: "no vibration".

You can do this: Go into WhatsApp settings (the 3 dots in top right corner), then go to Notifications and for Vibrate select Off option on both Message notifications and Group notifications.
[General Questions and Answers] The-CROW:
Thank you for your reply.

By global sttings i mean my phone ringtone settings. I have my phone to never vibrate on anything but whatsapp still vibrates on incoming messages even when its notification setting is set to "Default".

I already tried what you suggested but when I do it whatsapp will not vibrate when I set my phone on vibrate mode. Everything else will vibrate except Whatsapp. I set my phone to vibrate in my pocket when I'm working.

I have read on google play store that many users started having the problem after the last update.

I can downgrade Whatsapp by uninstalling and reinstalling the previous version via Aptoide but I'm afraid to be removed from the Whatsapp groups I have created and those I'm in.

Thank you kindly.

I have seen in other answers this code to hide launcher icon at runtime:

PackageManager pm = getApplicationContext().getPackageManager();
pm.setComponentEnabledSetting(getComponentName(), PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED, PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);

This code indeed works, but if you try to reinstall or upgrade the app you can't start the activity that is disabled, i mean that you can't use the app anymore.

Is there any other way to hide the icon at runtime without losing the ability of reinstalling and upgrading?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] craigiecraigie4:
Can someone help me understand if this is a general JJ issue, or a function of the AKU 3.2 Rom Update 1.90.96 (Radio 1.13.00). It's not identified in that thread:

Many of my JJ issues have been solved by turning off UMTS until I need it. My battery improvement is negligible (when measuring mA consumption), but the following used to manifest due to the phone's inability to switch between GSM and UMTS elegantly:

Calls frequently go to v.mail

Dialing results in 'Dialing...' message with no connection - or even worse I connect and other party can hear me even tho I believe it's not connected

Dialing results in 'This operation not allowed' or something like that

Several other issues I forget

All this went away when I turned off UMTS. My understanding is that UMTS and GSM are completely different functions, and the phone sees a UMTS signal and tries to switch to that. Unfortunately it's too weak and the phone does not know to give up and go back to GSM/GPRS. After around 15mins of battling, everything goes tits-up until I reset.

Is this something that everyone with moderate 3G/UMTS coverage experiences? Or is this a ROM/Radio version issue?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Kassad:
I have a very poor UMTS reception in my house and have the same problems. I have tried different radio roms. My current solution is just using GSM at my home and only UMTS at my workplace..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] beginner:
my too...

my case is similar. I had with radio 1.09 and now with 1.13. looks is a problem when you move between zones with umts and other only gprs and the phone gets crazy. I think is related new speed available form umts (1,8 and now 3.2) that are producing special situation in the device.

Thaks guys - more helpful than you know: I was considering a re-flash, and my JJ is SOOO customised I would have written off a week getting it all back into shape.

I want to make a backup of my Android I9505 by copying all the files to my laptop.

I don't understand the directories

Using ES3 I see

/ Device (Which I guess is root.)

0

extSdCard

I assume that exdSdCard is (as it almost says) the external SD Card.

So what are "/" and

"0"

I guess I should back up all directories. What do you think?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAX 404:
Hi,

0 is your internalSD ( /storage/ emulated/0/ )

/ is root directory

If you just copy folder like that , yes you will make a copy of the folders and the data inside of them but it will not work to restore your system , for that you will need something like a Nandroid copy or use Titanium Backup to be re install after you restore your rom
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
You are WAY overthinking this.

Install custom recovery. Use it to make a Nandroid backup.

That's a single zip file that you can later use to restore everything in exactly the same state as it was the day you made the backup. (Takes all of 5 minutes.)

Then if you want to store that backup zip file on your PC you can easily copy it to the computer and store it there for as long as you need.

Your way of doing this will take a lot longer to copy the files and won't ultimately work to restore the system.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAX 404:
Hi ,

Then i guess you are 100% stock , no root , no Custom recovery?

if so then you need an app that does not need root to back up your app , Titanium is good but you need at least to be root.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webmanoffesto:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAX 404:
you are root but you do not wish to install a Custom recovery or custom rom , right?

If so use titanium to make a back up of your apps , contacts , settings , email , sms ..etc etc

If you want to make a nandroid you need to install a Custom Recovery
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
Just install a custom recovery.

It won't affect the operation of the ROM at all if you're completely happy with the stock rom.

Root and Recovery are mutually exclusive things. One has nothing to do with the other. Each exists independently of the other.

So how come no matter what Custom ROM I try I can't text or get LTE support what so ever? Maybe I'm spoiled but it seems pointless to me
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Maybe.

Seems like you just wanted to vent. You didn't say what custom ROMs you have tried or any other useful details, which leaves me no choice but to assume that you either haven't tried many ROMs or are wildly exaggerating.

Most of the ROMs that I have used work fine for both SMS and LTE. If you post a better description of your situation, what ROMs you have tried, specific errors you had, etc, then we'd have a much better basis to help you.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krairo:
On the 900P G5

phoenix ROM v2.0 & SpeedROM v4 DEODEXED. No error except APN settings are non existant, same with seeing the LTE feature on the network type at all, & when sending a text it times out and says try again with no error except did not send try again.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Your original statement was rather dramatic:

That implies that you have searched exhaustively without productive results. But you've only tried two ROMs. You are factually mistaken about the first ROM, and I'd wager about the second one too.

You said that there are no APN settings in Phoenix 2.0. I just reinstalled Phoenix and the APN settings are present in the expected place

Settings > Connections > More networks > Mobile networks > APN

SMS works fine as well.

For your LTE issues, you said that you are using a 900P model, but didn't say what carrier you use. You have a Sprint phone, so confirm that Sprint has LTE in your particular area and that your SIM /account is provisioned for LTE.

If you are using the handset on a different carrier then your LTE problems are due to using an incompatible phone, not ROM bugs. Sprint is a CDMA carrier, with limited LTE and even more limited compatibility with LTE on GSM carriers. This is not a ROM limitation, but caused because you have a CDMA version of the S5 that isn't configured for much more than the specific bands that Sprint uses.

Note that the specs for the 900P say that it can access LTE bands 25/26/41.

Now compare that to some GSM carriers

TMobile LTE bands 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/14/17

ATT LTE bands 1/2/3/4/5/7/17

Bell LTE bands 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/17

900F LTE bands 1/2/3/5/7/8/20

Or CDMA carriers

Verizon LTE bands 4/13

US Cellular LTE bands 2/4/5/12/17

You can see that most GSM carriers are largely compatible in the LTE bands that they use. The CDMA carriers in contrast have few bands in common with each other or GSM carriers.

In particular, your 900P doesn't appear to have any LTE bands in common with any of the other carriers. So the only way you will get LTE is if you are using Sprint in an area where Sprint has LTE service. Due to 900P restrictions, not the ROM.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krairo:
Wrong LTE is available on sprint & in my area. And APN is non existent when using those ROMs. So its not my phone unless they don't support my phone

I found the following site with links to the stock firmware for the E-Ceros One smartphone. Not too sure if it actually works though, too scared to mess up my phone. However if it is the correct rom then we could use this to start developing custom roms for this phone.:good:

The website is as follows:

http://chinagadgetsreviews.blogspot.com/2014/07/download-e-ceros-one-android-422-jelly.html

***UPDATE***

It would seem that the Ulefone and the E-Ceros one are the same other than the ram. Also this phone already has a kitkat update so might be a worthwhile start for developing a custom rom for this phone.

Still a noob so going to try start rom development and learn as I go.

***UPDATE***

See Post #100 for Kitkat rom for E-Ceros.
[Android General] saor11:
Yeah got this phone . Has anyone updated it to kit kat.

It can be easily rooted with vroot. So a recovery would be great too to flash a custom ROM if someone could put one together, it would be amazing !
[Android General] rudelv:
I used MTKDroidTools to load clockworkmod recovery onto mine. Now busy extracting the stock rom and then I'm going to try develop kitkat for it. Hopefully I can get it right. :)
[Android General] saor11:
Very good and cwm loaded OK with that? How did you root? Your working on a ROM wish you all the best with it !
[Android General] rudelv:
I used V-root to root, but this didnt satisfy MTKDroidTools, so I used the root function in MTKDroidTools to root it. CWM loads perfectly and works well. Can make backups etc without a hassle, only the CWM app doesn't recognise the device and so you need to tell it you manually loaded it. Thanks! Gonna need it, will be my first rom I'm working on so lets hope it goes well. Will probably just port the stock rom to someother already developed rom.

Bootloader

BOOTLOADERSECTION

Bootloader :

The bootloader is a code that is executed before any Operating System starts to run. Bootloaders basically package the instructions to boot operating system kernel and most of them also have their own debugging or modification environment. Think of the bootloader as a security checkpoint for all those partitions. Because if you are able to swap out what’s on those partitions, you’re able to break things if you don’t know what you’re doing. So basically it commands the kernel of your device to boot the device properly without any issues. So careful with bootloader since it can mess things very badly.

First of all:

I hope you know what you are going to do by flashing the bootloader! HERE find a short description how.

Neither XDA nor me take any responsibility if your device takes any harm by flashing provided downloads!
