[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I haven't had this happen to me. Only issue with TWRP for me so far on this device, is a backup failed to restore on an earlier TWRP version (so I had to flash a ROM and setup again) and I haven't had this issue on more recent TWRP versions.

Again, I'd suggest downloading TWRP again, and doing a fresh install of it and see if the problem persists. Or try CWM.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjai117:
I instead flashed TWRP from Hasoon2000's HTC M8 All In One Kit, which is what I previously had and created my 4.4.2 nandroid with. Every time after that I was using the latest version from TWRP's website. I suspect that is the culprit, but I have no evidence yet as I have not created a nandroid again. I'm currently on 4.4.3 with SuperSU.zip flashed. No problems yet.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacdem:
My galaxy S3 is showing a very weird problem. I was using the phone and before reaching home the battery when completely flat. When I arrived home and plugged the phone to the wall charger the screen remains dark, black. Now the battery is full charged (green light) but the screen remains to the same estate. When someone calls me the phone rings. When I plug it to the computer I can see the files inside the different drives. I reinstalled the OS that is 4.3 but still same problem. I didn't drop the phone and It didn't have any shock.

That is weird. I am thinking of a dead screen but before going for a chirgucal operation on my beloved phone I wanted to ask if that couldn't be a software problem.

Happy to hear from your experiences.

Boot into download mode, volume down + home then power button. If the screen is dead in download then it is hardware.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quaker1985:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacdem:
In download mode i can see nothing. That is really weird. I am letting the battery drain completely and i will check. Thank you for your replies
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacdem:
I wanted to upgrade so far what i am getting. The screen while dark, black is reacting to touch actions: for exemple when i lock the phone with the power button i can hear the lock sound;when i unlock with the lide action on the screen, I can hear the unlocking sound. I think that must be a weird system problem. If the screen was broken will it react to such touch actions?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacdem:
Lide=slide. I can actually take a call with the slide action on the screen. When someone calls me i just have to slide my finder at the proper place on the screen to take the call. I need help please.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wasim625:
Most probably its the hardware. Your LED seems to be ditching you. And yes a bad led can still response to touch despite of being black all the way. Actually it's the digitizer that responds to the touch NOT the LED itself.

In your cas3 so far from your feedback I can say that you are having a bad LED everything else including the digitizer is working well.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giorgos241:
Hello everyone.

Today I bought another clone to replace my bricked one.

When it booted the logo appeared as HOLP but antutut says its a ALPS N5 phone (no idea what that means)

Its a MTK Dual core phone with 512MB RAM

My problem is that after a couple of chargers now it denies every charger of mine even original Apple charges.

Got any ideas?

The phone is Rooted and it takes a long time to boot up for a strange reason.

I opened the inside and it doesnt seem like any other clone ive seen so far (looks like its more solid and heavy)

We have recently released an 1 mb game on android: PopTiles

To check out the game search "PopTiles by paxplay" in google play as i am not allowed to put a link in this post.

The game is doing extremely well in terms of reviews, rating and user engagement.

We are looking for more creative ideas to make this game big now without screwing up the simplicity of the game. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krs360:
My N5 just got dropped in a wet place (definitely wasn't the toilet!). I grabbed it real quick and switched it off.

I have taken the back panel off to dry it out (will leave for several days before I touch it again).

When prising off the back panel, I have damaged one of the contacts on what appears to be the speaker module.

Can anyone tell me what the metal strip in the attached is connected to? Is it the mic?

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krs360:
I have just discovered it's part of the antenna loop.

Any bright ideas of what I can repair it with?

And which antenna is it (it's the one with the black wire on the right hand side when viewed from the rear).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tedrogers61:
The little one is 2G/3G I think. The bigger one is 4G/LTE I think.

I'd really love to know to fix this too...a blob of solder? A strip of tin foil? No idea!

The metal strip on the outside of the speaker module has come away on mine too when removing the back cover...only a very small section because I noticed and tried to minimise damage.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krs360:
It didn't make any difference to my signal when I had it like that.

For other reasons though, I replaced the speaker module. This was really easy and the part was really cheap. Probably the easiest way to repair it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tedrogers61:
Thanks. That's really good to know re: no loss of signal.

I can confirm this too...I had no loss of signal either, even with a large part of the foil strip missing.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] edcarnby:
Hi everybody,

is there a specific systemapp for text input?

I don't talk about a keyboardapp.

I'm talking about an app which gives you controls about the inputcursor in texts and lets you mark texts.

Sometimes there is also an magnifying glas when movin the cursor.

I have a rom with obviously that app broken. So i can input texts but cant move the cursor.

Always force close when moving the cursor or longpressing on a text.

Does anyone have an idea?

[Q] Stock ROM: "network or sim card error" when enabling Incoming Calls when Roaming

No matter what I try to set in the "call barring settings" menu, I get a "network or sim card error". Does anyone know how to get this working? I am not even sure what the password is, but I have tried 0000 1111, 2222, etc, and 1234, 0123.

Help!!! The only thing left for me to try is a factory reset, and if I'm going to go through that pain, I might as well do it with a newer model phone.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lwalter:
As the title says, I can no longer launch the settings applets for "Sounds and Notifications" and "Phone". When I click on them, it doesn't seem to do anything and then it hogs the CPU for a few minutes (system responds very slowly, screen redraws slowly).

I have tried soft reset and hard reset.

The problem is still there.

Is there any way to diagnose the problem or to fix it?

Is there any way to replace the applets?

Thanks in advance,

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] danielherrero:
Same problem here......
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dogo33:
Me too, except only for the Phone settings app - Sounds and Notifications works fine. FWIW, if I wait for a few minutes after clicking the Phone settings app it appears. In the phone settings app, clicking off the front tab is fast but returning to it takes another few minutes.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] danielherrero:
solved¡¡

In my case the problem was the mp3 files in the sd card because before get into those pages the system scans these kind of files to fill de combo boxes of sounds (events, rings, etc).

Solution:

Before go into these applets remove the sd card.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lwalter:
I don't have any mp3 files on my sd card and even after minutes, the control panel never appears.

Is there any way to re-install this?

Luc
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] danielherrero:
Have you tried to extract the sd card? do you have music files in othe place (rom, extended, etc)?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dogo33:
I just checked this again and I get the same issue on the settings/sounds notification page but only on the notifications tab. However, as with Phone Settings, if I wait a couple of minutes the pages comes up.

I've tried removing the SD card and hard rebooting but it still doesn't solve it. The only thing I can think of is that I enabled HSDPA with fit4cat tweaker...?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lwalter:
Thanks all for your suggestions!

I reformated my SD card and now it works fine again.

Luc
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dogo33:
Hmm... well removing the SD card altogether and unmounting my extended rom still hasn't fixed this. Any suggestions anyone?
[Java for Android App Development] Masrepus:
Could you please be more specific about your errors? Error output from eclipse in case of compile error or if it did compile but has runtime errors then post the logcat output for example. This would help

Edit::

Well for the first i wouldnt distribute the onclick listeners so much, instead let your activity implement OnClickListener so you have one onClick method for all, that is far more ordered. Then put a switch inside it: switch (v.getId()) { //v is the clicked button

case R.id.btnLogin:

//login button code here

case R.id. .... :

......

}

Then it is more structured ;)

If you can't run it it means that it's a compilation failure, probably a syntax error. Most of Java IDE tells you where is the error even before you run it.

i know it just a } somewhere or something but how can u just be able to tell where it need to be placed
[Java for Android App Development] SimplicityApks:
Well it tells you which line it is, take a look at it (probably where you close your second on click listener in the second activity). Remember that each bracket, curly or round has to get closed before the statement can be finished with a ; . Another thing I just noticed, you now set the onClickListener for btnRegister twice in the second activity, you can't do that. Probably the code of the first one should be executed after the code in the other click listener.
[Java for Android App Development] WaitTobi:
okay got it i put the first one click into the second one and i got rid of the textview onclick your were curoius about now i can finally run the app but right on the start up i get the runtime error. my logcat said"

If you want to check that some data is actually present then just write it to the log. Eg.

Log.V("Testing", someString);

If it is working then someString will be printed after the "Testing" tag. If its not then you should check your logcat to find out why not.
[General Questions and Answers] tomatus270389:
I have a Samsung S4 I9500 and since the 4.4.2 upgrade my battery started draining around 10% per hour. I checked the battery settings and it says that the draining apps are: Android OS, Android System and gpsd. I also installed BetterBatteryStats and I found out that the phone is awake 100% of the time. Then I checked the Kernel Wakelocks and gpsd is the process keeping my phone awake most of the time. I have searched forums and google exhaustively and tried all solutions but none have worked. I even rooted my phone and started uninstalling all apps that could be using the gpsd process and it didn't work. Then I installed CyanogenMod hoping this would work, but no, I still have the same problem. Right now I have CyanogenMod CM11 (cm-11-20140811-NIGHTLY-i9500), gapps (MICRO MODULAR PACKAGE http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942) and only a few extra apps installed: App Master, BetterBatteryStats, ColorNote, Slider Widget, Waze, Whatsapp and Xperia keyboard (I installed this one because the Android Keyboard (AOSP) kept crashing, so I disabled it). I have no idea of what to do next, if someone with extensive Android and gpsd knowledge can help me please do so, I have run out of ideas on what to do to fix this...

renaming gpsd

So I can rename the gpsd bin in /system/bin/gpsd to something else and it won't drain my battery anymore, but I can't use my gps... I need to rename it to gpsd and restart my phone... ANNOYING!
[General Questions and Answers] tomatus270389:
solution (partially)

So I partially solved my problem:

I created two shell scripts to stop and start the gpsd process. So if I want to use an app like Waze that uses gpsd I launch my start script and then when I finish using the app I launch my stop script. I use the SManager app to launch the scripts (with the Widget addon to have quick buttons in the start screen.

start_gpsd:

#!/system/bin/sh

mount -o rw,remount /system

chmod 755 /system/bin/gpsd

mount -o ro,remount /system

pkill scriptmanager

stop_gpsd:

#!/system/bin/sh

mount -o rw,remount /system

chmod 644 /system/bin/gpsd

pkill gpsd

mount -o ro,remount /system

pkill scriptmanager

having the same problem

i'm having the same problem. gpsd is eating up my battery. the phone can't get into deep sleep.

for a few days i was able to experiene normal battery and then it comes up again after 2 days.

i'm starting to think that this might be a google search or google now problem. before updates, everything was working fine. i initially thought foursquare was the culprit but the problem is still there.

this is so irritating, no one seems to have a solution.

Hi tomatus270389

[General Questions and Answers] Koeties:
Hi Chinov

I've been struggling with the GPSD process chomping away at my battery for 2 weeks now. Finally I found a work-around that works for me, although it doesn't solve the root cause.

I solved the issue on my Galaxy S4 (rooted with Omega 24) by installing Tasker (purchased from the play store). It's actually quite simple once installed. You create a new shell script task that runs as su and in the command type "pkill gpsd" (without the quotes). Then you can set an IF condition (at the bottom) to only execute it when %GPS not equal "on" (also without the quotes). That will ensure that Tasker doesn't kill the gpsd process when you switched GPS on manually to use it for navigation etc. Once that's done, you can create a schedule to execute that task every 2 minutes or whatever works for you.

Easy! :good: :D

Hope this helps you or someone else.

Feedback on this from my side: Turned out you're correct jaswinky, it was something the carrier did. They very quietly disabled whatever they did and my problems went away. I only found out about what they did in other local forums. At least the work-around sorted my battery drain problems out while the carrier mucked around.

Thanks so much for the SManager solution above.

This problem was driving me crazy. I'm posting incase someone else that has as little knowledge as me about all this stuff is trying to fix this problem as i was stuck on why my phone wouldn't recognize the pkill command.

All I needed to do was install busybox (like I said, I know nothing about any of this stuff) and then the script worked like a charm.
[General Questions and Answers] greendiceman:
Thanks for posting. Tasker worked a treat. For some reason GPSD was enabled when I made or received calls and then the process would continue running not allowing the phone to deep sleep.
