[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaDi:
Please Please Please .. anyone help .. I'm desperately begging you :( .. I tried everything possible and I still have the same issue

as you can see I cant set any lockscreen method other than password , and when I set it .. I cant even remove it

I just flashed the stock rom using odin , CF root , recovery .. every thing from scratch .. and I still have this issue .. I EVEN FORMATTED the internal storage !!

btw when I flashed the stock rom from odin , the problem was gone and I cloud use any method .. as well as in CM and MIUI roms , the problem is only with custom TW roms like omega , xnote ..etc ..

Help please
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Killberty:
seems like you have something on your phone (e.g. a microsoft exchange account) which will require you to use a password protected device
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaDi:
fresh installation!! there is only google account , and I did remove it .. no exchange account or anthing!

I never had this problem before , on MIUI and CM I can set any lock method

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
Okay I just want to make sure you did everything correctly.

I have a link in my sig that lets you check if you did everything correctly. Open that link.

Once you tried everything there, report back.

I was doing a little digging around for you on the X-Note discussion thread......
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaDi:
I did exactly just like what you have mentioned in your guide ,,

this issue is not only with X-note, it is with X-note , Omega , and all TW based roms ..
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
Did you follow the thing I quoted from as well by fahad?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaDi:
WoW , wait a sec ...

setting > device > lock screen > screen security .. I can use any method !

but setting > controls > security > encrypt device .. only password!

that is weird beccouse i use to set pattern lock from "encrypt device" , in every rom with TW base!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaDi:
yes
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
Have you tried formatting your SD card?

If there's any encryption on the SD card it affects that too.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaDi:
I dont have SD card , and I formatted the internal memory
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ryant35:
I currently have 'Total Equipment Coverage - Asurion' for $8 a month, it also says "Combines the benefits of Asurion's Wireless Phone Protection with the Verizon Wireless Extended Warranty Program."

I've been paying it for years with all my devices, I managed to use the extended warranty program to replace my Droid Razr Maxx last year when my charging port was too loose to work, after it was out of factory warranty for free.

My S4 was purchased on Craigslist used to avoid having to upgrade and loose my unlimited data plan, which is my first phone not purchased under contract with VZW.

Does anyone know if this protection is now extended to my S4 that is currently on my account? If so I could call in and have a 'new' model shipped to me for free since the one I bought is dinged up? My head phone jack isn't "working" any more...

Or should I just cancel it and save $8?

I also just noticed will reviewing my bill I have been paying $5 per month for NFL Mobile during the off season... crud.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Batttie:
I guess how often you use the insurance in the past would determine if it's worth keeping, but me personally I'd get rid of it. You pay $96 per year, and you also have a $100 deductible for a referburhised phone. I am pretty sure that it's tied to the line and not necessarily to the phone model..

Also if you like you can transfer me your upgrade =p if your not gonna use it!!!!

Hi! I want to try the new AKU 3.2 but I got lots of settings that I dont want to loose like GPRS settings +others... What back up utility do you use? Last time I used SPBBackup and after the reflash the backup image was not usable and I had to do all the work manualy... I'm planning to reflash in the next hour (after I finished to read the full forum)... Thank you
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] digitaly:
Aku 2.3 Pardon! ;-)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Menneisyys:
I've tested all current PPC backup solutions with the AKU2.3 (Molski 2.26), along with Bepe/KTamas' AKU3.2 RC1; all the four worked OK.

That is, you must have used a very old, not really WM5 & PPC PE-compliant version of Spb Backup. Upgrade it to 1.5.1.

Also make sure you read the Backup Bible at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1270&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

its simple you lost root with the update.

You can try to use pc odin and go back to ne6 then towelroot again.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheth20:
Hi,

I am from India. I and one of my friends are planning to buy LG G3 / G2 this month. I was searching on the internet to buy online, and I came across a few posts in XDA stating that we can buy unlocked versions from e-stores with big savings? So my friend started searching on the internet and he found a few web sites which were about 200 USD lesser than those in the local market. Could someone confirm if this is true? Are they really available for such huge discounts? How do I make sure that they are not fake Chinese models?

I saw a few sellers on Ebay, Amazon and OLX. Some are selling for $454 and some for just $360 USD. That is just 18000 in India???

If anyone of you have purchased unlocked versions for such cheap prices and if you found them to be genuine mobiles, can you please let me know?

By the way OLX does NOT have any purchase guarantee. Can I get a refund if I find the phone to be fake from ebay seller?

~~~~

Thanks
[Verizon LG G2] mkhan231:
Hey so I ordered a Verizon LG G2 off of eBay excellent condition clean esn because it was only $250 which is a a great price. So I read online that you can use it with T-Mobile because the phone is factory unlocked. Could you guys list the steps on setting up the Verizon LG G2 on T-Mobile? Thanks!
[Verizon LG G2] drivers1492:

[Verizon LG G2] drivers1492:
If you haven't rooted the iroot works flawless just have to remember when you plug it in choose internet then ethernet or it will not connect to adb correctly for the rsa. Trying to decide if I want to keep this phone or my s4. Button location is killing me but the knock on makes up for it. Love my galaxy though.
[Verizon LG G2] mkhan231:
Dude, keep the G2. The specs blows the S4 out the water. And if you use custom roms on the G2, you'll see that phone's speed will be more likeable coming from the S4 (Such as myself). After a while, the button placement will just become muscle memory. Just give it a week or two.

[General Questions and Answers] Klamman:
I'm attempting to get my Memo Pad 8 fixed. I've got it into a bootloop by modifying build.prop and the only way to fix it is to change it back. I used a DPI changer app, and I felt that I was close to success yesterday, but may have been farther than I'd hoped. I went into recovery and when I used adb devices I got a set of numbers and then the word "sideload". A few commands worked. At the beginning, I attempted "adb pull /system/build.prop C:\Users\user\Desktop", replacing user with my computer name, and got "error: closed". Eventually, I did some things and then got that long list of suggested commands. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. My tablet is able to power on but I can't get into adb because I attempted at a factory reset before all of this. Can someone help me, is there anyway to change build.prop, or am I done for?
[General Questions and Answers] Klamman:
Any help? :)

[MENTION=5092860]Klamman[/MENTION] What recovery?
[General Questions and Answers] Klamman:
I'm using the stock Memo Pad 8 recovery. I'm a newbie when it comes to these things. I'm using Android system recovery <3e>, recovery system version 4.2.31 apparently.
[General Questions and Answers] Klamman:
Maybe root is too much freedom for me to handle xD

(I am still in need of help :D)
[General Questions and Answers] Klamman:
Error: Closed

Nevermind... I'm still getting error: closed... please don't tell me that my situation is that hopeless... :'(
[General Questions and Answers] AJM-hackers:
Don't stress, it can be fixed! :) When booting hold the power button and Vol down key (it might be up I'm not sure). This will show you three icons (or maybe four). Go to the one saying factory reset/wipe data using volume down, and select it using vol. up. It''ll wipe everything and return everything to stock
[General Questions and Answers] Klamman:
I'm asking some others for a copy of their build.prop (memo pad 8)

If I have this, would I need to use TWRP? I'd rather not change my recovery, as I've still got warranty for the place I got it from.
[General Questions and Answers] Klamman:
Okay, I've got the file.

Now, uhm, what do I do next? :D
[General Questions and Answers] Klamman:
Also, a factory reset is not deep enough, the system files have been edited, namely build.prop
[General Questions and Answers] AJM-hackers:
Did you at least attempt a full wipe/ factory reset? build.prop is in /system which it wipes. To use that file remove the .txt extension, go to recovery, mount system(which I'm pretty sure stock recovery can'' do) and adb push the new file.
[General Questions and Answers] Klamman:
Yeah, I attempted multiple wipes which is why my usb debugging was disabled. I'm really new to adb, how do I mount /system? I've tried multiple commands, but most of them come up to error: closed.
[General Questions and Answers] AJM-hackers:
I meant the factory reset option not wipe, as I said dig through recovery options I really don't think it'll be there though. BTW I think you should go to your respective forum on XDA I only have an ASUS TF700 and can't really help you unless you take pics of your bootloader options and recovery options and upload them here.
[General Questions and Answers] Klamman:
http://www.smartmobilephonesolutions.com/content/stuck-android-system-recovery

If you go to that link, the first photo shows you what my recovery looks like.

Is there a specific forum for the Memo Pad 8?
[General Questions and Answers] Klamman:
I'm not 100% sure what my bootloader is... is it the first thing that shows up when I hold down vol+ and power? When I do that, I get "No Command", then I have to do a series of taps (one quick power tap, then one quick power and vol+ tap) to get into the place where I can choose what to do.
[General Questions and Answers] AJM-hackers:
Yes, when you first power on using vol+pwr that's it, can you take a pic of this "no command". Did you do data/factory reset in recovery? I'm you beg someone else for a rom.zip you can adb sideload it using the option that says install from adb
[General Questions and Answers] Klamman:

If you need instructions, I can provide them as well

Thank you so much in advance!"

I may be able to help. Am I just dd'ing partitions?

Is this was he has to do? It seems that my hopes of reviving my Memo Pad may come to reality!

Do you still have the problem? If so tell whoever it is to make a system dump of the firware, it;s very straightforward, it's like the first result on Google. Cheers, you're almost there! :)
[General Questions and Answers] lil11b:
As I've already written a how to in german,I think I could help you:

Obviously there is a stock rom indeed, but you have to modify it (dl link is saved as a txt file in the attachments, because i'm not allowed to post URLs

After you have downloaded it you open it with 7zip and navigate to X:\UL-K00L-WW-2.0.0.4-user.zip\META-INF\com\google\android\

and push the modified updater-script to there(it is attached as a .txt file but remove the extension, otherwise it won't work) .

i hope i could help you
[General Questions and Answers] lil11b:
if there's a "no command" you're already in the recovery, just press power and vol+ and then it shows you the recovery.

I recommend installing cwm although, you're not able to update OTA anymore, but its way better than the stock recovery
[General Questions and Answers] Klamman:
Thank you both a ton! Sorry that I took so long to respond! You know the build.prop file that I got earlier? Well, I hooked up a mouse to my Memo Pad 8, and continued clicking the errors, while attempting to tap on the tablet in order to navigate to About in the settings, where I was finally able to activate Developer's Options (thank GOODNESS that the taps don't have to be so close together in timing), and then USB debugging. My tablet was read on ADB, and I pushed the ADB file! Thanks for both of you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

And a special thanks to joel.maxuel who gave me the build.prop file!

Hi, I've been trying to connect my rooted Nexus 5 to my laptop for a few hours now with no luck. It works for my desktop but it doesn't for my work laptop. Both machines recognize it as Google ADB interface in device manager but I can't see the folder on my laptop. I tried with and without USB debugging, MTP/PTP and I also installed SDK tools but none of them worked. When I try to uninstall the drivers, so I can reinstall them, it does the uninstall, I plug in the usb again and the device is there like the drivers were never uninstalled. I've attached a screenshot with the driver and the date. Any thoughts on what's causing the issue?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Uninstall all drivers for android devices (and make sure you choose the option to remove the files), reboot then plug it in, what does it do? Try the universal drivers?

Also try turning off USB debugging if you have it on.

If you look through the first link in my signature there's a thread on troubleshooting driver issues
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geolykos:
I've checked that guide already as it is first to pop on google search. I uninstalled and removed software as you said and it installed Android ABD Interface drivers now. Which I imagine are the same but not device specific. Still not response from my phone though. I can see it under Devices and Printers as well but no folder pops. It works on Windows 7 at home and I tried it on a machine with Windows XP as well and it works fine.

Could this problem be related to the "Notification Queue"????

Help.. I keep missing meetings..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] marisa4755:
Have you tried checking your notification queue for duplicates and/or out of date entries.

You can try scarybear checknotifications, memmaid or sk tools for this (prob there are others too)

Try this first, see if there are any duplicates or out of date entries. Delete all these, soft reset and then try again.

I use a combination of the above tools as I find that they often find dups or out of date entries that the others miss. Try checknotifications first (free), and see if this helps.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] SHC:
I still find that the known alarm problems with windows mobile persist into WM5. I use Tweaks2k2 to alter the wake-up settings. You can also get an alarm fix from Burr Oak software - its free the last time I looked. Look for "Wakeup Tweak Installer. I assume this is the same programme I used to use before I got Tweaks2k2.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] smads:
Try uninstalling all non-core apps and see what happens. ie PI and phone Alarm. Clearly there is a conflict with 3 programs all having a go at alarming you, ie default calendar, PI calendar and phoneAlarm.

I have never had a problem with any alarm notifications, but then I am just using the default calendar.
