So Xposed has been doing me pretty well. Never had a problem until today.

Unfortunately, my most recent backup is right before I installed Xposed, and I've installed lots of apps and things since then, so I really dont wanna restore.

I installed the Xposed module, "Xposed Wallpaper" and it has rendered my phone useless. I was finally able to get into recovery and now I would like to remove the module. Is there a way to do this?

Back then when I was using Lumia black (8), things seem to be fine.

After updating to 8.1 using preview for developers, yeah I live it very much. But I don't know what happened to my device. I was able to sideload stuff like, you know, install paid app for free. But that was for a while. Now I'm not able to do that anymore. Whenever I connect my device to PC, it keeps on showing device decriptor request failed.

DONT SAY "TRY USING DIFFERENT CABLE OR USB SLOT". I did ask those IT guys about it, but they seem stupid (no offend). All they told me was this line I mention in DONT SAY.

I have 5cables in my house, 2laptops and 1desktop, all with Nokia sdk, with total of 15 USB slots. I tried it all and it's not working.

check solutions on Microsoft page: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2749484

also try reinstall Nokia drivers, best to do this is to install Nokia Software Recovery Tool

Maybe last month, or 20 days, I did side load amazing spider man 2 just fine. But today, it's not reading my phone. Again, I swear, I did not install or uninstall anything on both laptops and desktop. It just suddenly stops working. Or maybe it uninstalled itself from all 2 laptops and 1 desktop?

Or an issue with the update. I was having all kinds of issues connecting to blue tooth devices after the update. A couple of hard resets and a fresh profile later and most of the kinks are worked out.

If all your computers and cords work, the only thing left is the device. It's either hardware or software, and the easiest thing to test is to put it into recovery mode and see if it detects it / can write to it.
[Nokia Lumia 920] baigi:
I have the same problem but in a different scenario. I have bought a new Nokia 215. Its user manual says it can connect to a PC as a removable drive when it has a memory card in it. That's one of the reasons why I bought it in the first place.

To my utter disappointment, the same error (device descriptor failed) showed up. I tried to use google but couldn't find any useful solution. Tried other thing, eg changing cable, PC, USB slot etc but nothing worked out.

Then I connected it to a computer with linux and it worked in the first try. The memory card was accessible as a removable drive and I could easily read and write files.

I am amazed how poorly the programmers at Microsoft have been working lately that a phone made by Microsoft can't connect to a PC OS written by Microsoft.

Leaked iPhone 6 motherboard has NFC chip

Some new images of the iPhone 6 motherboard PCB have leaked from French website NowWhereElse.

The PCB is bigger than the one on the iPhone 5s, hinting at the larger size and the screw slots align with the previously leaked case designs. But the important feature here is that the motherboard has an NFC chip on it, along with Wi-Fi 802.11ac.

The NFC feature has been rumored to appear on the iPhone for years now but it never quite materialized. Its presence on the iPhone 6 motherboard does not quite guarantee it will be on the actual phone but then again, Apple does not use off the shelf parts so if it's there it's there for a reason.

Via CWM recovery all ROM flashing way is almost same, no matter which model you have. But the matter is which version (ROM/kernel) support your device. Before flashing new ROM you need to confirm few things:

If these issues are met then you can go further. Now download your desired ROM and GApps in your SD card (root-directory of your eg. /storage/sdcard/0/) and follow the thread (your desired ROM) instruction (if there are) or follow these:

Boot into your Custom Recovery
wipe data/factory reset & cache partition
wipe battery stats (if this option available in your custom recovery)
wipe dalvik cache
format everything except sdcard
Flash the files via "install zip from sdcard" > "choose zip from sdcard"
wipe cache partition (remember your gapps install location. If, the location is cache partition then leave it)
wipe dalvik cache
reboot system

Remember you need good battery health before going recovery mode. Hope this will help you. :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] em0ney14:
I just upgraded to a SanDisk 32gb from my old 8gb and now i am missing a lot of my apps. They show in the app drawer, but when i try to open them i get the error that the app is not installed.

Here is what i did, hoping i could save everything.

1. I removed my 8gb card and copied everything to my pc.

2. Then i inserted the new card and copied all the old files to it.

3. I inserted the new sd card into my s5 with the power off on the device.

4. Booted the phone, and the apps show in the drawer, but upon opening the apps i get the message that the app is not installed.

Any help?

Ps> sorry guys that i haven't been around much this month. I had to fire 4 employees of mine over a two week span and pick up their work.

I will try to be more active, for those that missed me. Hehe
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fffft:
You are making an erroneous assumption that a file by file copy would save you from having to reinstall apps. An sector by sector image would have been a better approach. One of the descrepancies between the old card and new is apparently leading the OS to conclude that the installed app files are no longer available.

It might be tied to a volume serial number or erroneous path, etc. But my guess would be that you missed copying a hidden system directory. In any event, try again or reinstall the apps.

.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] em0ney14:
Thanks for the response [MENTION=5353566]fffft[/MENTION] , i already formatted the old sd card and gave it to a buddy that has an s4 and had memory issues, with his kids installing every game they can find. Lol. I see a hidden folder that contains about 1.86 gb of data that looks like the files that i am missing, it seems that it was just copied to a different place on the new sd card, im trying to place it correctly, but if it doesn't work then i will just reinstall.

Thanks again.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sofia-captivate:

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devzz:
Its called Sony PC Companion. Go to settings > xperia connectivity > USB connectivity > Tick the install software button. Then if you plug your phone in, it should prompt you to install the Sony software onto your PC. Install it then check for an update that way. It should say you have an update available.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sofia-captivate:
so even im rooted right?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devzz:
Should do it. Rooting should not prevent checking for updates/receiving OTA notifications :)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sango2:
The answer is because Bell Canada's and a few other carrier branded phones is still on 17.1.A.2.55, so PC Companion for instance would say you are up to date. As other have mentioned, use the Flashtool and flash your phone with a generic ftf which has the latest version.

I would say flash Canada generic (which I uploaded which is in the firmware sticky) as I am using the Canada firmware, then you can have the latest update of 17.1.2.A.0.314.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danstr15:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredo490:
Dear all,

I have spent some time disassembling my Nexus 5 and I found that the shielding cover that faces the die-casting has a strange "gold" tape on it (cf. picture enclosed).

I am curious, does anyone know what is it ? Is it a "high" thermal conductivity material that send the heat to the die-casting ? Or is is electrically non-conductive material that avoid leakage ?

I am a bit concerned because if it is for heat transfer, why not putting something on the CPU too ?

Thx for your feedbacks.

Woven copper tape is both thermally and electrically conductive. Its been a while since I looked inside mine, so I don't really remember it.

Those schematics are funny though.. Ground connected to pin 1... 25 times
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psycho693:
Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredo490:
So it is a copper tape, thanks for the info. But why is the color so "yellow"? It doesn't actually look like copper.

There is still a thing that I don't understand: the hot spot should be the CPU, why not contacting it to the die casting instead of the shielding cover ?! To me, there is something that doesn't really make sense in this design.

Edit: interesting enough, it seems that the LG G3 uses the same concept (cf. enclosed). Die casting in the middle with this "gold" tape on the shielding cover. It seems to be a reference design for LG.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokey9000:
We use this stuff at work for RF gaskets for EMC. Here's an example: LeaderTech SF030PCU-CA

My guess is that it's to complete the EMI shield around the cutouts for the SoC and the couple of other parts poking through. Look at the mill-out where the PCB sits on the chassis for the SoC. By doing this, they can shave off a mm or two on the phone.

Those are all the ground points on the board that aren't part of components. Like screw holes, friction ground contacts, and the shield can. Standard stuff to throw odds and ends that don't make sense elsewhere in the schematic on a single page. On some of the stuff I work on, with hundreds of 11x17 pages for a single board, it's not uncommon to have pages dedicated to holes, bypass caps, and mechanical stuff, all with no regard to pin numbers.

Probably some sort of alloy, nickel/copper. See the link above. Pure copper would corrode too easily.

Ah, a common misconception about chip packaging.

High power chips like PC CPUs need a lot of heat pulled away from them quickly, and the most efficient way is by facing the back of the die away from the package PCB so a heatsink can be slapped on top. These always are left open-top or have a heat spreader of some sort.

But for most chips, the back of the die is bonded to the package PCB (or leadframe) and bond wires used to jumper the die to the package. For chips that need to be cooled, there are dozens or hundreds of vias in the package PCB (metal plated holes through the PCB) and BGA pads on the other sides of the vias. These are called thermals, and conduct heat from the chip die to pads on the BGA. If you look at the back of a typical BGA, these show up as a separated square array of pads in the middle.

The designer of the PCB that uses this chip will design in thermals between the BGA thermal pads and the ground layer(s). The ground layers are nearly solid sheets of copper, and the thermal vias let it act as a heat spreader.

Also, the SoC in the N5 is a multi-chip package (MCP) and has a second BGA with the DRAM sitting on top of the Snapdragon BGA. The Snapdragon BGA PCB has solder balls on top that make contact with the DRAM BGA. It's all covered in rich creamy epoxy, which isn't all that good at conducting heat.

All this leads up to the top of the Snapdragon 800 package being the least useful place to try pulling away heat.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
Believe me, I've worked with plenty of schematics before. I just find it funny that they would label chasis ground as pin 1. Generally that's just ground. Someone obviously had too much time on their hands, considering its an EM shield being called pin 1.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokey9000:
I think it depends on the EDA tool and the whim of the library maintainer. From the little symbol creation I've done in KiCAD I think pin number visibility can be turned off for a symbol. I'm looking right now at one of our designs, and half the page is plated drill holes, each numbered pin 1. What's better, on the same page is a single high current screw terminal with 4 leads holding it to the board. It's one solid piece of metal, but the symbol shows pins 1-4.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImSoBored:
Going slightly off topic, but could you say if there's something such as a warranty sticker when you open your Nexus to tell that it has been opened?

Thanks in advanced. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredo490:
I didn't find any warranty sticker in mine. However, it is quite obvious to find if the device has been opened because of the tape holding the back cover. It is almost impossible to open and close it without "damaging" the tape.
