[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weili3d:
I have a Chinese version of oneplus one with cm11 M9 installed. Everything worked fine. A week ago, I had the phone encrypted. Again things worked fine, except today when I tried to use twrp recovery to do a full backup. Twrp booted into recovery. But twrp did not ask for password to decrypt the phone's storage. Naturally, twrp complained that it could not mount /data, etc.

I searched online. It seemed that twrp is supposed to ask for password when booting into recovery.

Twrp could not do the backup since my internal storage was not accessible to it.

I thought that maybe if I update twrp recovery to 2.7.1.1 the problem might be solved. Nope.

Please help.

If I cannot do backups, I may have to give up encryption.

Thanks in advance.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] usualsuspec:
Hi,

I am currently rooted and froze all verizon updates so it didn't break root a while back. However, I haven't updated my and currently on andriod version 4.2.2.

I would like to finally update my phone to 4.4.2 but not sure how to go about it. If I take the verizon update, will I lose root still? Or what is the best method to update?

Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Batttie:
Best method is a matter of taste... And also depends on your base. mdk? Me7? Mdk sell phone buy a new one :P..

I prefer using the no wipe tar files to update with. Benefit is that you keep your data, and in one shot you go straight to the most current update. Downside is you must download some software and use a PC. Others prefer to take each OTA one at a time. It's slow but "official" so if your on MDK you would download and update about 5 times.

Yes you will loose root,.. But towelroot works for NC5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] usualsuspec:
Thanks for the quick reply Batttie... What data will I lose? and is there anyway to keep my set-up? I have titanium backup as well as safestrap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Joe_6pak:
If you're on Verizon and MDK baseband, maybe you should flash this:

Looks a lot easier to me - what does everyone else think? Personally I wouldn't give up my MDK baseband for anything!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
if you're on MDK you NEED TO KEEP IT. I can't stress enough how important that bootloader is. NEVER TAKE AN OTA ON MDK.

If you're on ME7 or newer then yeah you could OTA. you'll lose root but your data will be salvaged. i think you have to go to 4.3 before 4.4 so that's a thing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] usualsuspec:
Right now I am 4.2.2 ME7 so what you are saying is that I can take the OTA, lose root but not lose data? And easily re-root using towelroot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
yup
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] usualsuspec:
Hope someone can answer this as well, I believe I froze the OTA updates through tibu but I cannot figure out what I did. Does anyone know what file would have been frozen to stop receiving updates?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Joe_6pak:
Look to see if these two files are frozen/disabled: FWUpgrade.apk and SDM.apk

This one could be frozen as well: fota.client.apk

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] usualsuspec:
First I wanted to thank everyone for their responses, I was able to unfreeze the OTA. However, I am now currently on MI1 and every time I try and update via OTA , I get a "failed" message with the Android guy on his back.

Any idea how I can get this update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] UnlinkedEnergy:
Same thing hapenned to me. I fixed this by unrooting and factory reseting my s4 and it updated without any problems
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] usualsuspec:
Did you lose everything when doing a factory reset?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] UnlinkedEnergy:
Yup, factory resetting deletes user data and the internal memory. If you have an sd card then you can transfer your files onto there so it is not lost in the process
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ymDroid:
Same issue many of us have had with ota.

Some where along the line, and a system app has changed. If all the system apps aren't perfect, it will fail during ota.

Since you don't really know which app is causing it, the only way to update via ota is by doing a factory reset.

This will restore all the system apps back to normal, and then you can ota. It will wipe everything.

Use Tibu to save your apps and data, change the back up location to the extsdcard. Backup your texts and call logs using Smsbackup from the play store. And move anything on the emulated sdcard0 slot of the phone back to the extsdcard.

If your using a custom launcher like Nova, you can save your home screens to the sdcard as well and fully restore after you reroot.

If you don't have a custom launcher, and just take screen shots of your home screens, you can use those to remind you of your layouts.

Its not as complicated as it seems, and shouldn't take very long over decent wifi.

But a factory reset (through the phone, and not a custom recovery) will wipe the internal storage, so make sure everything is on the external sdcard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joecus:
May I ask which "Smsbackup" you recommend?

Hi & Thanks for the quick step-by-step,

May I ask which specific "Smsbackup" app from the play store you recommend? (a link? Or name the developer or whatever?) I want to jump up from 4.2.2 rooted as well and I already have Titanium Backup PRO, but when I searched the Play Store for "Smsbackup" I got a load of results :confused:

(Actually, unless I'm incredibly dense and have missed a memo, I practically ALWAYS have trouble selecting apps from Google Play. I find the search results to be rubbish and even knowing the app name unhelpful because of the copy-cat namers who seem to flood the store with wannabe crap that just sounds like what you're looking for. Hope I'm wrong about this and there's actually a correct way to find what you want there. Would hate to think Google is suddenly incapable of conducting simple search functions well. *lol*)

Anyway, thanks in advance if you can help me backup my txts and call logs. That really would be a great assist. BTW, do you know, will the resulting backups contain attached pictures, and etc., for the txt threads?

Best regards,

Joe C.

I have the Verizon LG g3 and when I compared it to my LG g2, on white backgrounds the g3 screen is clearly more yellow or warm compared to the g2. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Do you think it's worth to try to exchange it for a New one?

Sent from my LG G3
[G3 General] ChrisM75:
The G2 was actually too blue, as are most phones. True white is slightly creamy to most eyes. Most people are used to white being Titanium Dioxide white they use to colour plastics, cosmetics and ceramics, but that is actually blue.

However the G3 is a bit too yellow, it may fade over time, sometimes it does. I rooted mine and adjusted the screen temp a bit.
[G3 General] Fir3blade:
The screen on mine is too yellowish for my taste, will get an exchange device tomorrow, if this one will be as yellowish, I will return it immediately and go for another device.

I don't care if the G2's screen is too bluish or whatever, I really liked it's display, but the G3 screen is to dimm and "warm"
[G3 General] TheStickMan:
Could you post which app/setting you did this with?
[G3 General] Skizzy034:
I loved the "cool" display of the G2. That G2 is still my favorite phone. Even having the G3, I miss it. Still my favorite display also (color and temp wise).
[G3 General] Fir3blade:
Just got the replacement, sadly it's display is even more yellowish, so it will go back too the next days, will get a used G2 instead and wait what this year will bring on.

Really sad because I really like the G3, but can't stand the display...

I used Trickster MOD and set the colours to 238,238,255. Its still a little a warmer than my G2, but its no longer beige! Slightly yellow is right for whites, but my G3 was almost brown!

Now I just need to fix the back light, its too dark on auto.
[G3 General] Billy Madison:
Really sad that people are too used to wrongfully calibrated screens. I even rant to LG with straightly opposite demand a while back http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2299888 and seems like they listened and made a right decision to calibrate G3 perfectly. Their OG Pro had too blueish display around 8000K with almost green yellows, my eyes were bleeding
[G3 General] Fir3blade:
Not too sad I guess, as white on the G3 looks like there is a yellow screen protector on the screen...

Next thing is that the yellow screen in combination with its low contrast just looks awful.

But everyone has a different taste, so it will look nice for a lot of people, but not for me...
[G3 General] Billy Madison:
And by the way, why is it so many twin threads around here? Wasn't it better to discuss pro and cons of G3 display in the already existed and full of comments thread as http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2782251 ? I think it would be more proper and lead to more constructive way of discussion

[HTC Sensation] MAGENETANDSTEEL:
I have an HTC Sensation XE, which I have had for a few years now. It has developed a fault that, it will boot to the bootloader when I hold in the power and the volume - buttons, I am able to connect it to fastboot usb, but the phone wont boot into android.

The phone is running the stock ICS OTA update from HTC and the bootloader is locked and is S-ON, HBOOT is version 1.29 and I cannot unlock the bootloader through the HTCDEV website, since the unlock token wont work, I believe this is because the motherboard was changed in a warranty repair just over a year ago.

Any advice would be great
[HTC Sensation] MAGENETANDSTEEL:
Thanks for the reply, I have tried a few RUUs and have had no luck, so I have posted a question in the link you provided
[G3 General] samsat:
I will be upgrading and renewing on an AT&T 2 year family contract.

AT&T charge $199 plus $40 upgrade fee.

Best Buy and Costco charge $99 plus the same upgrade fee.

Is there any reason to waste an extra $100 doing this with AT&T?

AT&T Sales support told me there is no difference except in insurance coverage which I wont be taking out.

All warranty issues will be handled by AT&T tech support regardless of where the deal was done.

AT&T said today when I asked them about the $100 price difference "ATT focuses on being a service provider, so our prices aren't always optimum, since we're not a device retailer or manufacturer. I always advise doing what's best consumer wise"
[G3 General] bkrickles:
I buy all my phones from best buy and they're great. I don't get insurance either but their insurance plan is better too. Also once you get a phone there they give you a $50 per year credit every year for each of your phone lines.
[G3 General] idelgado782:
I always get my phones from best buy. They always have much better deals. I actually did the At&t next through best buy and received a $100 gift card which was a WIN!!! There aren't real disadvantages of going to best buy over the company store honestly. So i'd say save your money and grab it from BB.
[G3 General] rahx14:
Between those two I'd go with BB as well due to their lower price and incentives. Hey, the phone was $99 plus a $50 GC when it launched - can't beat that! I've purchased from Costco as well. They usually have decent prices, and if needed they have a special package for Square Trade as well. Deductible used to be $25 on their member plan, but might be $50 now.
[G3 General] Skizzy034:
I will never shop at Best Buy unless I absolutely have to. More than once they've sold me something as "new" which clearly had been an opened and used product. I've read quite a bit of other people having the same experiences.

Hiya,

I think the subject line says it all...

I've got my good 'ol Tomtom navigator 5 running on my Vario just fine.:)

I cannot get it to connect to my GPS unit ( Emtac CruxII BTGPS ((Sirf)):(

I had this all working on my iPaq, although I always had to force the GPS onto NMEA using GPStweak. I could live with that...;)

I've paired succesfully, it shows port 6. ( unsecured )

Sirftweak & TomTom only show ports 0, 1, 2, 3, 4(ir),& 9

No matter what I do I can't connect.:mad:

I tried an " interesting " version of iGO and it connected straight away, I would have been very happy with that if I only wanted to navigate anywhere outside the UK. ( The Great Britain map just won't work )

No way to switch over Emtac CruxII to NMEA.. Boo!

I used my 'ol iPAQ and sirftweak to do the change over and it all works..

Now the next problem, the btgps defaults to SiRF after a while.

Sirftweak and cruxview run on the Vario, but can't see port 6.

Does anyone know of a way to do this on the Vario, it seems silly to carry the iPaq about at the same time!

Maybe a command to send via a terminal prog or something????

I know, buy a new NMEA gps.. but where is the fun in that:p

Someone must have got around this one.

Someone........?????

Please.......

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duckdodger24th:
There are A LOT of tutorials about what to do if your phone gets wet, a google search will find you dozens, if not hundreds.

However, one thing that not all of them cover, but I would recommend for YOUR phone is to soak it again in alcohol (NOT BEER haha). Since yours was beer spilled, not just water, there is an added chance of it leaving behind a residue EVEN AFTER it is dry (think beer spilled on kitchen floor = sticky spot long after it's dry). That residue could block or short out connections inside the phone. For that reason you may want to actually soak the phone in isopropyl alcohol. I know it seems counter-intuitive to solve a wet phone by soaking it, but it isn't. The isopropyl doesn't conduct electricity and will effectively 'rinse' away the beer inside of your phone. Again, you can google the fine details but be sure to use 99% isopropyl (or as close as you can get). After it is rinsed out... THEN put it in rice to speed up the drying (but the alcohol will evaporate quicker than water would anyways)

The only other, fairly easy, step that most people take is to open up the phone and try to scrape away corrosion. Basically getting the metal inside the phone wet can cause rust spots and those spots won't conduct electricity well and could block power or signals from one part of a phone to another. By scraping away the little rust spots you can sometimes improve the connections. You could also google more details on that process, but if you can't even open your device enough to take out the battery, then this may not be an option FOR YOU.

If all else fails and the phone doesn't recover then you have to either come clean about the beer or "accidentally" drop your phone in a more acceptable liquid. NOT that I recommend lying to your dad... but if you've already decided not to tell him about the beer, then that ship may have already sailed. If that is the case then damage from the sink or washing machine might be your simplest explanation.

GOOD LUCK!
