Experiencing the same on Windows 7...have tried everything suggested

Really hoping someone can help because I've just about had it with this. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I have a brand new Nexus 5 16GB. As others have indicated, when I plug my phone into my computer with debugging enabled, it creates an "Android Composite ADB Interface" device listed under "ACER Device" in Device Manager. See attachment.

I have tried every permutation of the 'uninstall driver, manually install Google USB driver' solution, to no avail. The best way I can describe what I'm seeing is that Windows is forcibly categorizing the device as an 'ACER Device' even though the driver files themselves are telling it otherwise.

If debugging is DISABLED, and EITHER MTP or PTP is ENABLED, everything is just fine - the default Windows drivers for those devices kick in, and no 'ACER Device' category is created.

If debugging is ENABLED, and MTP and PTP are DISABLED, when I tell Windows to use the Google USB driver, it says that the device could not be installed.

If debugging is ENABLED, and MTP is ENABLED, the 'ACER Device' issue rears its ugly head even when I tell Windows to use the Google USB driver.

I've already disabled Windows automatically fetching a driver online, so that's not to blame.

If this is the result of a Windows Update, does anyone know the number of the update so I might try uninstalling it? I can't seem to find it despite searching.

Hoping someone out there can help. Thanks!

Hello there,some of android phone soundcard is unknown from the spec,so if you want to know what soundcard that your phone uses,you can get it via ADB shell by command

Adb shell

su

cat /proc/asound/cards

or

adb shell

su

cat /proc/asound/card0

in attachment is screenshot from the command on my fascinate that using wolfson WM8994

i hope this info will useful :)

HEY Bro can u help me as my phone does not support ALSA so no asound config file is there, comapany is claming that phone has wolfson dedicated audio codec but i dont know which model is present
[Android General] samer19990:
the commands dosn't work
[Android General] iqossmoker:
For android, you can also use this app:

"Device Info HW" by Andrey Efremov on the Play Store.

There's a field for audio and sound that lets you know the DAC in used on the phone.

Will i brick it or all I'll need is to root again ?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PilgrimToHyperion:
You can try. Some people have reported success in updating the PC Suite software without loosing root. Worst case, you'll loose root and have to redo it.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subwoffer13:
The device is suspected in rooting

Thats the message i get after trying
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] js931:
I applied the 2 latest OTA updates with root, no problems and root is still there!

(I have the international version of the G3.)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pispuso:
Some people get this errors. Like js931, I had no problems applying OTAs with root, I went from v10b to v10g without loosing root. Yesterday I applied v10j with a manual flash via kdz file, lost root but just re-rooted with purpledrake.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PilgrimToHyperion:
In that case, just do the Upgrade Repair Errors option in PC Suite. It'll flash the latest ROM for your IMEI, but you'll loose root. Just reroot afterwards.

Will i lose my phone content ??(apps music etc)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PilgrimToHyperion:
I didn't. Everything was perfectly preserved.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pollux King:
I updated via ota when i was rooted and had no problems, also didnt lost root.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pispuso:
v10b is indeed a battery drainer, and the phone was too hot doing nothing. v10g was better but kinda laggy. v10j seems to work great, its smoth, doesn't drain much battery and the heat is normal. For now is the best choice, the oly downside is that it comes with a lot of bloatware compared to my stock v10b that was pretty clean.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pollux King:
I have just flashed 10H and it started dowloading 103 bloat apps automatically i never had before, wil test this firmware for couple of days if it wont perform well then i will switch to 10J
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pispuso:
Yeah, a lot of bloatware. I just froze most of them for now and will remove completely if I see no problems.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subwoffer13:
just updated via lg tool , and rooted again. thanks
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zige:
I did this and i was getting "update error" plaaplaaplaa.. Now my device is bricked. I tried what PC Suite said "Take off battery and put again and connect with usb" but always when i open device it's goes do "updating firmware" but it's isn't doing anything. I was with rooted v10g rom (international 16gb D855). Let's see what service shops says.

Thermal throttle
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msnnsm:
Thanks for your answer.Is it normal ? I just bought this phone. So is this same for all other people ? One of my friends told me he got higher scores. If it isn't a general problem how i can prevent thermal throttle ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
By letting the phone cool down before the benchmark, or use a custom kernel which raises or disables it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
The other thing is to not care about benchmarks...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msnnsm:
I'm letting the phone cool down already. But it heats very fast during benchmark. I put it on fridge and i got 30k lol :D. Anyway there is nothing i can do.

Thanks for helping me :good:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
Why do you care about benchmarks in the first place......

Putting your phone in the fridge, then getting an AMAZING score...does it make your day? Does showing it off make you happy? It's not what the phone is primarily designed for....it has much more useful functions, you know like internet, email, calling, gaming, photos...

More importantly...imagine benchmarks didn't exist for a moment. Did your phone actually feel slow before you did all these 'tests'??? Did you need to get 30k before you felt happy? Does a 'lower score' completely ruin the actual day to day user experience...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msnnsm:
Firstly i don't need to tell you why i'm trying to get higher score but i will because you're talking too agresively with me without reason.I don't care about score. If every nexus 5 would be the same and get just 15k score including mine i would accept my phone with 15k. But others phones get higher and there is something wrong with mine. It's getting hot more than others. So that's not like it should be.I hope you understood why i'm trying to fix it and sorry if my english isn't understandable.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
No. Your phone isn't heating up more. You're starting when the device is already warm.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msnnsm:
I'm pretty sure i'm starting it when it's cold. I didn't touch it for 15 minutes isn't it enough ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
At least use an app to look at CPU temp ._.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msnnsm:
Hmm you're right. Do you know a good one ? I got 28.8k now with elemental x kernel with "Undervolt" feature. To be honest i don't know how much is normal for a nexus 5 device with this kernel.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
Yes do you, that's why you opened the thread..

The post sounds aggressive, but it's really trying to change the way you think about scores in the first place..

No, just because other people get highers 'scores' does not mean there is something wrong with your phone.

Before you started running 'tests', were you experiencing any actual issues?

If it's getting hot, is this because you're running unnecessary benchmarks...

Or any other activities which are causing it to get hot? This could be an app or hardware issue, both nothing to do with your benchmark. Are you comparing actual temperatures in degrees to identical phones doing exactly the same activities side by side, or does it just feel a bit warmer?

What I'm trying to say is your obsession with the score is causing you unnecessary stress...you are trying to fix something which does not need fixing.

So go back to the original thinking:

- Imagine scores don't exist

- Did the phone actually feel slow in day to day normal usage before you started running benchmarks?

Or:

- Stop running tests, forget about them

- Use the phone normally

- Enjoy using the phone again ;)

Let...it...go...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msnnsm:
The first time run it i just wanted to see how my phone is powerful because i felt a little lag on asphalt 8 yesterday, so yes i wasn't expecting any issues but when i saw i got 17k i think that difference is just huge. I don't care if my device is same at gaming,multitasking with other nexus devices but benchmark makes me think it's not right.

In normal usage; yeah it is fast But I'm not sure my device is how it's supposed to be like this. But if you say it's normal and benchmark's not meaning anything i won't care. But there should be a reason all devices got different scores.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
So it is sort of only the benchmark which is making you think something is not right ;)

You don't need a score to see how powerful your phone is. It will breeze through most tasks just fine. "A little lag" on a graphically intense game is to be expected sometimes.

Gaming -> High CPU load -> heat -> thermal throttle -> bit of lag

Laws of physics ;)

This is the only real 'benchmark' which is actually important in normal day to day usage.

Yes there is a reason we all get different scores, the same reason we all get different battery life. There are many variables, not least temperature and thermal throttling.

We have different number of apps installed and running at any one time, things syncing, mods, scripts, ROMs, kernels, all different. No two CPUs and Nexus 5s are exactly identical either. So therefore you get different 'scores'. Even if you had two stock factory reset phones side by side running the same test, they'll get different scores.

And just because your score is lower, it doesnt necessarily mean that something is wrong, or that your phone is always slow. It is just a nominal number from an app at a particular point in time. It still feels fast, and is fast... :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msnnsm:
It doesn't make any sense :rolleyes:

Okey, i trust you. Since i just bought phone and didn't test it much really i won't test it or try to improve it for now.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
The way a phone works doesn't lend itself well to benchmarks. That's why manufacturers like Samsung have traditionally "cheated" on benchmarks by ensuring maximum clock speeds are used when they detect a bench marking application.

If you want to maximize your benchmark scores you simply need to disable thermal throttling (or increase its limit) and also use optimized Dalvik copied from another device.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLastSidekick:
This. Thermal throttle is a way to keep your phone regulated into normal temperatures specified by the device manufacturer. However, it's generally safe to raise it a bit, mine is set to 85.

Assuming you're using the magazine launcher, I've recompiled it to add support for hiding icons in the app drawer. Backup the magazinelauncher.apk in /system/priv-app, and replace it with this file. Change permissions to 644 and reboot.

Guys and Gals, we have been struggling with unlocking the S4 Bootloader for well over a year. I stay current with where our progress is. I'm not a developer and i know this is a crazy suggestion but what have we got to lose?

Why don't we pool our old devices and use OpenCL (or similar) to tap into our phone GPUs and try a targeted attack on our bootloader? Yes, I know, I know it will take a billion years for a million supercomputers to brute force the SHA1 key. But headway has been made in the last year in finding ways to target attacks on SHA1. I'm not saying it will be easy...it won't. Hell, I don't even know how to get started but that's why I bring the request to you guys. I have 2 or 3 old devices....we all do. Plus if we continue this then every year each of us is adding a device to the computational network.

I know there will be many "nay-sayers" so don't post with negativity. If you are interested and want to contribute then post and let me know.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sokrboot:
Because you keep up with the threads on our bootloader, so I figured you would have some interest.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sokrboot:
Because they are free. Our community doesnt have a good track record for paying for research and development to benefit themselves directly, much less benefit the greater good.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ryanbg:
Hash Collisions

Finding a hash collision isn't like bruteforcing a password. It's (very basically) finding another file that has the same hash. It's not so much guessing the 'password' as it is hoping that mathematical computation outputs the same hash as another file, by sheer chance. There are academic and private researchers who have been working on this for years, with exponentially more processing power and resources than we could ever hope to see. While I admire your will to find a solution, this won't be happening for us. Your efforts are more fruitful by calling Samsung/Verizon/AT&T and complaining, leaving feedback, and doing it relentlessly. I call/email/chat with Samsung and Verizon on a daily basis, leaving feedback and asking to have my bootloader unlocked. If enough fuss is made, they may come around. Verizon and AT&T are the main targets, I just call Samsung when Verizon gets sick of hearing me.

To put it into perspective, you have a greater chance of winning the powerball 100 times, and getting hit by lightning every time you go to collect your prize.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NighthawkXL:
Even today's most basic quantum computers that are being developed could theoretically take years to crack SHA1 (when used properly), granted it could do it in much less time then any Von Neumann machine could do. But nonetheless it's unrealistic to use this as a method to crack encryption. You'd have a better chance getting the NSA to provide the info on backdoors they have (assuming the Snowden leaks are true) that they have broken nearly all modern encryption by providing researchers with a flawed RNG.
[General Questions and Answers] cameronrobyn:
I currently have a Hauligian (or Hauligan) headunit in my car running Windows CE6. There are a few discrepancies for example the days are spelt wrong and have capitals in the wrong place.

I've seen a few threads regarding downloading Total commander and running it through the GPS micro SD slot and pointing the path to run it. Thats fine (I haven't done this but understand it).

I was thinking of taking the files off the Headunit, finding the files and changing the days to the correct spelling (is this possible?)

That is my main issue. Side issues if plausible:

Update the software

Update the sygic maps.

I would be grateful for any help, ive been looking and searching for a while.

[General Questions and Answers] k8500:
Somehow I actually haven't noticed this earlier: As you know there are Android browsers available that include a (usually optional) data compression proxy. Google Chrome and Opera (it's called 'Opera Turbo' there) are among those. Enabling this proxy means that all data is redirected through the browsers own proxy and images / videos (maybe more) are compressed in the process, saving bandwidth for the user. In theory that's some great stuff, as at least in Germany, internet packages for mobile data are still very limited in volume and bigger packages are expensive. However, redirecting through the proxy also means that all data will have the same origin IPl, rendering adblockers like Adaway useless (these work by blocking specific IPs.).

So, let's just assume that 20% of usual traffic is for advertisements (I think that's not too far from the truth). By using an adblocker (meaning no data compression proxy), I'll save: 20% traffic.

I'm currently using Google Chrome with the data compression proxy enabled. Its statistics say that it saved 20% over the course of a month. So, by using this, on average, I'll save: 20% traffic.

As I detailed earlier, I have the choice of using one, data compression proxy or adblocker, and both lead to the same savings. So, thank you, Google, you just enabled me to view free ads!

Anyways does anyone know a workaround for this? Maybe there's a browser that enabled (through a special proxy) both, data compression and adblocking. I'd actually like to keep Google Chrome cause that's the one that works best for me, but I'm also open for trying alternatives!

The battery life on XZ is not acceptable at all. I am having 8 hours on KK (.230) with 2 hours of use a day and around 10 hours on 4.3 (latest). With same amount of usage, my htc one M7 is doing 2-3 days because I barely use the phones. Before the google play services was taking 78% of the battery life but after wiping data, it seems to be fixed but it's still draining fast.

As I didn't have this phone for long and some of you had been using it since 4.1.2, I would like to know which version of the rom was the most battery friendly. I am obviously talking about tft so this doesn't go against the best rom rule.
