can you do a factory reset from there? I sold my g2 so i can't check for myself
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daimonmustdie:
yes i can
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gabriel51:
what happens when you do a factory reset?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daimonmustdie:
nothing, it reboots and the LG logo appears and thats it..no O.S.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gabriel51:
Not being able to connect to the computer when in download mode is a real problem.

I don't think it will matter but have you tried a different computer?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daimonmustdie:
i have two laptops running win7 64 bit..nothing happens on both computers. i just hooked it up to my other comp just now..still nothing.

if you are in download mode do you only see the Rectangle with the Blue Dots in it? if so then you might have hardbricked the thing:(. I am not a expert at LG Bootloader stuff since it got heavily changed since 4.0.4 :/.

I wonder or there would be a way or some modded bootloader to boot into a usb otg to fix stuff. So far as i know you have an loki'd bootloader from savoca where you can have 2 roms or kernels i believe. so i was wondering if it would be possible to support OTG in it so you could like load an recovery from your OTG device that would be awesome:D probably not fast possible but i guess its possible:D but maybe hard :( I wonder when somebody will port multirom to the phone:confused:
[General Questions and Answers] (-vinner-):
Anyone can please tell me which runtime dalvik or art is faster for my moto g

I saw videos in perfomance comparison in which art was fast but when it comes to benchmark dalvik scores more

I have moto g running in 4.4.4 stock rom

Please tell me which runtime is better
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
art is faster. benchmarks don't mean squat.

only problem is, some apps are not yet compatible.

it wont matter later this year (or whenever), when the next major android update comes out. art will be default, and i dont believe there will be an option to change it to dalvik.

HI to all,

i have a big battery problem with my p880,since i put some custom roms 4.4 on my phone i have huge drain of the battery.

1.I tried several roms and i had the same problem every time,my battery loses 1 percent per minute.

2.Sync and location are off.Brightness is on 20%.

3.i installed juice defender and deep sleep battery saver,i put the apps in hibernation using greenify.

Whatever i do,the battery literally melts down,i am not exagerating literally its 1 percent per minute.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] nmbbf:
lower the cpu speed to around 640 mhz or so. it works like a charm (in my slimbean p880) and i get screen on times like 4h30m. also install pimpmyrom and tweak it to lower battery consumption

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jan91:
how do i reinstall the stock firmware?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jan91:
i did flash a stock firmware and then...

so i downloaded the odin exe and the stock firmware of my country, flashed it until almost the end and then it says fail.

what can i do? right now phone is in download mode, almost completed the flashing process and im afraid to do anything, but if i dont nothing happens.

what to do?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Did you terminate all Kies processes in windows task manager and enable usb debugging on the phone? Just pull the battery, wait 20 seconds, reinsert it and press volume down + menu + power simultanious to get into download mode.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jan91:
since i cant start my phone anymore (the samsung logo shows up and then it wont start) iam not sure about that. i usually never use kies and iam killing tasks, and im pretty sure i enabled usb debug
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Just pull the battery and do as stated above and try again.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jan91:
well... i cant have acces to my phone, it wont start. and if i just pull the battery, i guess this will have an unwanted effect since iam in a flashing process?

and do you mean kies programms running on my computer? there are none i guess...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
You can either take my advice or Google to find another solution, good luck :)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jwhendy:
I accidentally bumped a cup of coffee over on the back of my HTC Evo 4g LTE. I bumped a pillow into the nightstand while trying to contort my body in a way that would let me set sleeping my 10mo old into bed without waking him :(

I turned off the phone immediately, took off my Otterbox Commuter case (not the really waterproof Defender) and found a thin liquid coating on the back housing. Perhaps 1-2hrs later I made the poor estimate that it wasn't "that bad" and tried turning it on. The phone went into what I think was a boot loop (the display never showed anything, so I can't be sure), vibrating every ~30sec as it would if it were constantly trying to turn on and failing. It doesn't have a battery designed for removal, so I just had to let it sit.

Perhaps 6hrs later I went to check on it, and thought it was unresponsive after pressing the power button and nothing appeared to happen. I inadvertently pushed the volume rocker, however, at which point it made a beep as though it were adjusting the volume! After that, I noticed that the power button was also toggling the capacitive navigation buttons, which would illuminate and shut off as if the phone was "running" as well... but I still had no display.

Since then I've done a complete teardown (pop off all cases, separate all ribbon cables, vibration motor, speakers, camera, and removed the battery). I've done a few washes/brief soaks in isopropyl with the motherboard and then put everything in a vacuum chamber overnight at -20 inches of mercury. I also set the display and motherboard it in DriRite (lab-grate dessicant) for about a week now. In the meantime, I assumed the display may have been fried and ordered a replacement since it was only $28 on ebay. I just got it yesterday, but get the same results (phone "turns on," but display never lights up).

Any input on troubleshooting further?

- I've thought about looking at the two ribbon connector receivers for the display under a microscope to see if I can see any residue.

- I've also considered opening my wife's phone (same model) and swapping the batteries based on a probably false idea that if the battery might have gotten zapped, it could power the rest of the phone but not the display? Thinking not, as the power-ups I've attempted have had the USB charger plugged in, but easy experiment.

Would it be possible to short out just something related to the display on the motherboard so that the phone could run seemingly perfectly fine but just with no display? Just seemed so darn unlikely and that if I toasted some circuitry that a lot more would have been toasted in the process.

I plan to reassemble tonight and test for call reception (I think I can guess where the answer button is) and notifications (email myself and see if I get a vibrate/beep). That would confirm that the radios are also still functional.

Sort of at a loss and am not sure what else to do! I'm an engineer and even if the phone is toast... I'd really love to definitively figure out what's causing the issue.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] prestonmcafee:
Both of my activesync connections disappeared (I sync with two pcs). I hadn't installed new software on the wizard, and the wizard has been stable for weeks.

It asked to make a new connection, so I did, but that connection produced errors, mostly 80070002, on both PCs (XP). So I uninstalled and reinstalled activesync (4.1) on both PCs, and started over. I uninstalled completely -- turning it off, uninstalling, then deleting the activesync folder in Program Files -- before reinstalling.

The wizard syncs, but generates "Attention Required" error 80070002 the next time it tries to update the sync while still connected. If I just click the "sync" button on activesync, it fixes the problem, which recurs every time there is another update.

This is more an annoyance than a real problem but does anyone have an idea what might make the activesync connections go away in the first place? I was wondering if an XP update is the culprit, but it could also have been a Zone Alarm update. (I have the procedure for exempting the connection on zone alarm.)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] prestonmcafee:
Potential Cure

In the list of connections under activesync on my wizard, there were my home and office pcs, and a third folder labelled "unknown." Deleting this seems to have eliminated the "attention required" problem.

Hello everyone,

I have a Micromax A110 and i found some sympatric ROM in this forum, but i want to mix some sys app.

my question; it's possible to migrate an application system from ROM A to the ROM B?

(Eg applications or Phone Contact)

I've been tested some tool like titanum backup but I'm a little lost.

thank you for your help.

secondly what do you mean by "an application system"

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimat213:
I successfully rooted my Starmobile Diamond S3 last month. It wasn't as easy as my other phones because it uses a Broadcom chip. If anyone is interested in how I did it, I can share that.

Unfortunately I got a little aggressive playing with the root this morning and I succeeded in messing up phone. Now my phone doesnt have a status bar or homekeys at bottom. :( I can not even install a wallpaper.

I have a Nandroid recovery however I can not install CWM because my device is not supported. Does anyone know how i can either install CWM so i can back up my device using my Nandroid backup, or maybe someone knows another way to restore using a nandroid CWM backup without actually having CWM installed.

If anyone has a Stock Rom that i can use so i can restore my phone please help.

Thanks a lot.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Doggydude:
Just for background, this issue happens on a clean install of PAC-man or SlimKat 4.4.4.

I got the google now update that allows hotword detection on any screen, but using it causes a crash, no matter what command.

I can try to send a text, navigate somewhere, or search, but after it processes my voice the app FCs.

The weird thing is that if you turn off audio history after enabling hotword detection, it will work a couple times, but then start crashing again.

It crashes every time with audio history enabled.

There was problems with this back when people sideloaded the google experience launcher and the hotword would crash the device, but this is official, so I think it is a different problem. I have not had the chance to test it on official TW roms, but if I can't find a fix I will load a backup and see if the problem persists.

Status of back up?

My question is, How does one know when the back up has finished? I know that it shows whats going on when it brings up the prompt for you to select full back up but once you move from that prompt to let's say,check a message or open another app it seems as if there is no way of going back. Is there a way to check on the status of the back up? Or even check from your pc to know that it has finished? Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 General] Yaardie:
Thanks heaps for this.

Being no stranger to the command line I was hoping there was something simple like this.

Just so people know you have to be patient with this especially if you do the apk versions.

There is no progress bar so go have a cuppa/beer and wait.

The app will disappear on your phone when it's done.

I stopped it half way through and it was a bit of a problem to get it to go again.

Also I am guessing from the size of the file it doesn't back up sms, images, movies or music.

Thanks again though.

[Nexus 5 General] wivane:
I know this is reviving a very old topic but i have a problem.

My problem is once i type in the adb command nothing appears on my tablet to confirm the start of the backup. What am i doing wrong? The code i am using is below.

Once i run the code the backup file has been made but its 0 bytes. and nothing appears on the screen of the tablet once unlocked... i have tried restarting the tablet, changing the folder that the backup is made to. The tablet in question is an Asus MemoPad 7 ME173x and the device IS rooted. What am I doing wrong and has anyone else experienced this?
[Nexus 5 General] stickt73:
I have had issues where I had a backup file with 0 bytes, but it was usually due to the format of my adb command or when I tried it with the M Preview for the Nexus 5. Have you tried the command without the pathway in your file name? I just did the command that way and everything worked fine for me.

This is great! But question: what exactly does the system variable backup?

I would only like to backup user apps and app data., since most other things are backed up by the phone in the cloud or other apps I use like gcloud, but I'm wondering what system includes.

Anyway, what if I only backup app data? What happens when I restore this app data without having the corresponding app installed?
[Nexus 5 General] maybeme2:
This is so great that I wanted to keep it handy when offline. So, from within xda app (on my rooted nexus 5 running stock 4.4.4) I tried to copy the thread content to save it in a convenient place on the phone.

However when I pasted the copied content, the command line texts did not paste. Is this a known problem with android's copy/paste? Is there a way to enable full copy paste in android?

(Same thing happens when I copy paste content with images. The images are not included).
[Nexus 5 General] AlexBz94:
does it back up everything ? including the kernel bootloader and so on ?
[Nexus 5 General] :
It backs up apps and app data only. :good:

Bootloaders don't get backed up.

And kernels will get backup up if you do a nandroid backup with a custom recovery. Though they are backed up with the entire system image, so they can't be restored alone.
[Nexus 5 General] AlexBz94:
I'm looking for a way to make a sort of nandroid backup to a phone before rooting it because i have no ideea if the root i found will work or brick it.... so if this doesn't work i m out of ideeas.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Best way to do that is to install a custom recovery, then immediately do a nandroid backup before anything else. If you are going to attempt to use a recover not made for your exact device though, then you are playing with fire. Bad things could happen.

Other than a custom recovery backup, there's nothing you can do to backup your system entirely. Not that I know of anyway.
[Nexus 5 General] efrant:
^^This. Without root (or custom recovery), there is no way to get a full backup.
[Nexus 5 General] gadgetChris:

[Nexus 5 General] GuyInDogSuit:
I wanted to backup my app data, without system apps or user apks. So it creates a 70.7 MB .ab file.

However, when I try to restore it to my new phone, it brings up that same option to enter a PIN or password, with the buttons "Do not backup" / "Backup my data," instead of "Do not restore" / "Restore my data." If I tap the "Backup" button, the menu disappears, and it pops up a toast that says "Restore started," then after a couple seconds, "Restore ended." I don't see any of this data though.

[Nexus 5 General] sinbro:
Hello everybody!

Is there any way to back up data from unrooted Nexus 5 that has no custom recovery installed and ADB is disabled?

It has some kind of issue concerning it's screen - it acutally doesn't show anything at all. The device is still bootable and pingable on the LAN, it also can be seen through Google account so the CPU is up and going well (except video module). It's screen has been tested as well as power board and both are ok so it looks like the video module is corrupted in some odd way.
