You deleted system files and don't even remember what you deleted? That's a problem.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If you deleted files, and don't know what you deleted (and didn't back anything up), its very hard for anyone to help you.

You said stock phone, but I assume you are rooted, as altering system files is not possible otherwise. Do you have custom recovery installed (TWRP or CWM)? If so, find the appropriate nandroid from the nandroid collection and rstore it. Or find a stock rooted or stock-ish custom ROM and flash it.
[Micromax A116] imtiazz2004:
Just want to share my experiment. I made backup of my phone using CWM 6.0.3.0, after that I updated my recovery with PhilZTouch 6.27.4 based on CWM v6.0.4.8. When I restore my backup using PhilZTouch 6.27.4 based on CWM v6.0.4.8, my phone boot loader get stuck and restarted again & again without proper loading.

Then I revert back on my previous (backup) recovery by using PhilZTouch 6.27.4 custom recovery ---> recovery restore. I rebooted phone and come into recovery mode. This time i was booted into my old recovery CWM 6.0.3.0 .

I again restore my backup using this this recovery. It resolved my booting problem and my phone booted normally & working fine.
[Micromax A116] $hino:
That was meant to happen... Since philztouch is based on cwm... But it isn't cwm....
[Moto X Q&A] morgs640:
Hi just wondering if anyone knows which model numbers of the moto x have an unlockable bootloader i see on the cyanogenmod download page that there is cm for the xt1053, xt1058 and xt1060 does this mean all of these are unlockable or are some of these using safestrap? also does it depend on which region you purchase the phone from? thanks guys and girls :)
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
All XT1053 's are unlockable

All XT1052 's are unlockable

All XT1050 's are unlockable

All XT1055 's are unlockable

All XT1056 's are unlockable

All XT1058 's are unlockable EXCEPT AT&T

Only the DEVELOPER edition XT1060 is unlockable

NO XT1049 's are unlockable (except nTelos)

Basically, they can all be unlocked EXCEPT Verizon (though the DEV edition can be unlocked), AT&T, and Republic Wireless.

You can NOT use CM or any other non-stock-based custom ROMs with safe-strap. Safe-strap is for stock based ROMs ONLY.

This is all completely accurate with the exception of the services of the "China Middleman" (use search).

The middleman sells unlock codes for some of the locked variants. While many are successful at unlocking, many are unable to receive codes as well. See that thread for further details.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rixz59:
As the title states, Do you put one on your phones? Usually I dont put those plastic things on my phones and tabs, and I'm planning to buy a tempered glass instead because I dont want that plastic feel on my hand and prefer glass.

Is it really necessary to put a glass/screen protector on my G3?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il buono:
Not necessary but it does add an extra layer of protection. Dropped a phone once and the tempered glass screen protector I had on it shattered. The phone's actual glass remained perfect. Main reason I use them though is for resale value. I switch between phones fairly regularly and like to get the most I can when I go to sell.

Sent from my LG G3
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mingkee:
You definitely need it.

After I have seen how the screen beaten up on my niece's iPhone 5s, I think screen protector isn't an option.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iazybandit:
I put it on all my devices whether its cellphones, tablets or cameras. There was a time I smacked my S3 screen on the corner of my Mac wireless keyboard. It dented the screen protector but nothing happened to my screen.

Plus, its cheaper to replace a screen protector than replacing a an entire phone or screen.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sweets55:
I've used a screen protector in the past but not with my G3. I'm so careful with my phone it's crazy. lol I only put my phone in my left pocket nothing else. Keys in right. I have a microfiber cloths everywhere to clean the screen. I know a T-Mobile Rep so as long as the phone powers on I doubt he will say anything when I turn in the phone and Jump to a new one.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iazybandit:
It's not about having anything in your pocket, it's also about dropping. I don't put the phone in my pocket at all (left pocket is keys, right pocket is loose change and wallet). I have my phone on a holster. You never know when you'll drop it and you can't predict it either. There might be one day where you have it on the edge of the counter and either you or someone might knock it off by accident. Since you have it in your pocket, there might be a day where you'll pull it out and something bumps into you and it falls out of your hands.

No one can be too careful or prevent anything from happening. Just the way of life :/

I Verizon rep that I know had a tempered glass on his old phone and when he dropped it, the first thing that broke was the tempered glass. The screen on the phone was perfectly fine.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sweets55:
I've had so many phones since 1999 I've lost track. I had many drunks nights and only dropped my phone 2x. First time was a Plam Pre and just had a small scratch on the screen. 2nd time I dropped my phone in the toilet so screen protecter wouldn't help with that. LoL. I think if you have a good case that's usually good enough. I don't have butta hands and not clumsy like my wife though. LoL
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raul_Fury:
I use a protector, you can never be too safe! and mostly when it's so cheap to get one on amazon.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZiCott:
Tempered Glass....05mm

Try and get the thinnest one possible...My first one was 1mm, and some areas it won't detect my touch inputs for games. a minor drop, but landed flat down on the pavement, glass protector cracked, and now I am on my second at .05mm thickness, all gaming functions have returned
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pfeffernuss:
No wonder, that is amazingly thin ;)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigkevbosky:
Never used one - hate the feel of plastic instead of glass.

But then again, I don't care a bit about resale value, take good care of my phones, and upgrade my phone every year anyways. If any of those things are different for you, you might want a screen protector.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T3hBraveBoss:
I always buy spigen glass screen protectors as they always one of the thinnests and specifically for the G3 it was the only option that covered the front of the G3 completely compared to other options
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjb152:
I'm on my second glass protector, first one I dropped on a set of keys from a fair height. Then had the phone knocked out of my hand and it landed badly. So the £5 investment was worth it imho, and applying a new protector was very easy with no bubbles.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeFryRice:
I'm currently using the Spigen GLAS.tR Nano slim. It's nice because it doesn't give off the orange-peel effect like found on the Invishield piece and barely noticeable, as a screen protector should be. Although it's extremely thin (0.5mm) it doesn't take much to damage it. In fact, I noticed a hairline crack in mine this morning and will be replacing it soon. The only downside, they're not cheap at $34.99.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oconnell84:
I believe the nano slim is actually .23mm. It's incredibly thin for the market.

[General Questions and Answers] ocenyx:
Good day, fellow XDA citizens.

Here's my problem. My phone's external storage cannot be detected by apps when they are browsing as root. See screens:

This is what it looks like when the apps are browsing as root: (i.e. granted su permissions)

This is what it looks like when the apps are not browsing as root: (and the way things are supposed to be)

Note that these issues are not limited only to this Script Manager app, but others as well, including Android Tuner, TiB, and the likes (most apps that access the external storage)

I've noticed that fuse in external storage becomes "RO rootfs" when browsing as root, and fuse remains intact for internal storage whether or not it was given su permissions.

I've tried googling around for answers, a few articles and discussions mention fuse but I can't make a certain sense out of them, most likely because I am a scrub on linux usage.

What things can I do to try fix this issue? Any help will be much appreciated.

regards, Ocenyx

[General Questions and Answers] ocenyx:
To anyone else having this issue,

It seems to be a well-known symptom of Kitkat for MT6582 devices. I'm not certain if this problem exists on any other chip.

While we wait for any official fix for SuperSU app regarding this issue (if any), the only fix I have ever known to have worked is by using KingRoot. I'm aware that many advanced android people always discourage users from installing chinese stuff but it addresses the issue at least. It's much much better than living through this inconvenience.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scrubtron:
Hello.

I fixed someone's computer that I know. He doesn't really have much money, and gave me his Galaxy S4. I guess he didn't have enough money to pay the bill. I looked up the IMEI on T-Mobile's website and it says: "This device is being financed and has an outstanding balance that must be paid or it may not be able to be used on the T-Mobile network. " If I try to dial any number, it says not registered on network.

Is there a way I can unlock it so I can sell it? I already have a Galaxy S5 so I'm not interested in keeping this..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scrubtron:
Bump..?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonny:
Sooo...

1. Someone with a computer and a Galaxy S4 doesn't have much money? Unlikely.

2. He "gave" you his S4 as payment for fixing his computer? Even more unlikely.

This stinks of scam or a stolen/lost phone or something. Especially considering your join date is very recent and this thread holds the only 2 posts you have in this forum. Not suspicious at all :rolleyes:

You'll find no help for this on XDA.

Has anyone switched to the ART mode? How is the experience? What problems encountered? Does all the apps work properly?

Thx

[LG G2 Mini] sko1man:
I've been using it for few days, but I switched back to Dalvik, becaue ART was causing crashesh in my aps. For example, gmail was crashing while sending mails, gallery after switching pics etc. So it gave me only issues with aps and nothing in exchange;)

Hello

If i'm right, ART is useful only for applications specificaly developped for it.

No improvement expected with "standard " apps.

ART improves the time apps take to start.

Personally, I haven't used it because Xposed doesn't support it.

You can't root or are you already rooted?

lol just try by urself.

I had ART before root, after rooting it changed to Dalvik itself

Xposed reverts ART to Dalvik automatically because it doesn't support it.

Nothing else does that automatically.

Hi all, a few days ago I received my new huawei honor 6 and is blazing fast and smooth but what impressed me is the battery life.

It has an option to switch from 1080p to 720p with a setting named rog technology and where I had 4 hours of on screen time until 30% when I switched to 720p I got 6 hours (5:48) and the battery at 26%.

Is there a tool we can use to switch our amoled screen to 720p? Because at 5 inch I don't notice any difference.

Because if there isn't I find charging my phone once per 2 days or 3 very intresting and I might keep the honor 6 for me and the s5 to my wife.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brava27:
Nope
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cerobles1:
Man this sounds promising. That would be nice to save more battery
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderc8:
Yeah honor 6 has it and I gain 2 more hours of on screen time since the Chinese can do it I think it must be software related.

I can safely say that with normal use 2 hours (internet ,calling,Facebook ) a day I can charge my honor 6 every 3 days it would be awesome if we could do this on our halaxy s5 instead of enabling and disable ultra power save all the time.

[One (M8) Accessories] md1008:
Anyone get this yet? I bought the first battery case available and It was great while it lasted but couple months just quit working. Thinking of getting this but damn $100 is a lot for a case

http://mugen.co/mugen-power-3700mah-battery-case-for-htc-one-m8.html
[One (M8) Accessories] md1008:
I bit the bullet and ordered this case, hopefully it will be much better than the cheap generic case which was great for 2 months than turned out to be crap.

Mugen appears to have a good reputation
[One (M8) Accessories] perryh1:
I picked a 4600 Mah one off eBay for 29$ works great. Get 1.5 charges out of it
[One (M8) Accessories] md1008:
Yeah I bought one from mobilefun it was the first battery case available that I know of. It worked great would charge the phone real fast and was for the most part reliable. Than came the day that it refused to work at all...
[One (M8) Accessories] md1008:
BTW, picking it up tomorrow, pretty fast considering it shipped from China. That might explain the $20 shipping fee. Which is perfect I'll have it before I go camping next Wednesday
[One (M8) Accessories] dogswind:
I'm eagerly awaiting to hear how this case works out for you. Very interested in it.. Can you post some pictures when you get a chance?
[One (M8) Accessories] md1008:
Just got the Case, will take pictures later. I can tell you that the case adds a lot of bulk. Protection seems better than the generic "power jacket" from mobilefun.com. still feels vulnerable if it were to fall in it's back. It says that it's charging "AC" as opposed to "USB" I was listening to music(not streaming) while using GPS and the it still appeared to charged as opposed to flat lining or worst draining.
[One (M8) Accessories] md1008:
The volume and power rockers are accessible however the case makes it difficult to actually use them. Taking the phone out of the case is a real challenge

[One (M8) Accessories] dogswind:
Thanks for the first impressions and pictures! I don't mind the bulk if it substantially extends the life, but that volume rocker cutout is worrying. Wish they had built buttons into the case. Have you used headphones with it? Curious how snug that opening is...
[One (M8) Accessories] theandies:
Hell, I get 1 day 10 hours a charge according to GSAM I'd think if you doubled your battery capacity you'd be getting a lot more battery life than I am. I by no means a power user but I am on my phone a lot during the day. My biggest issue now is whether to charge when I get home at night or try and make it through the next day. It's a good problem to have. Right now I'm at 49% and I took it off the charger yesterday morning. I love this phone.

That case looks cool if you need the extra power. I'll keep it in mind if I need a power case.

Don't worry - take another hit.........:D (your avatar is great)!
[One (M8) Accessories] md1008:
It's honestly not that bad, I wouldn't say it's a game changer. I can easily charge it to a full charge. Today I charged the phone at 20% first half was heavy use GPS and YouTube when I got home. Then I let the phone be and it charged it to 80% now if I wasn't using GPS or wasting away for an hour on YouTube it would be 100%. After a full charge the battery will be dead. If I were to use it heavily the whole time I suspect I would get 60-70% which isn't terrible considering otherwise the phone would be dead. I do recommend this but I feel $100 is too steep. Shipping is $20 but it took me 3 days to ship from Hong Kong so I can't complain about cost of shipping. If you share on FB you get a $4 discount
[One (M8) Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
all after market batteries come from china, and probaly from the same manufacture, they just slap a sticker on there to make it cost more.

buy some other brand for 15 bucks rather than 100 and it work just as good.
[One (M8) Accessories] md1008:
It's my understanding that mugen has a better reputation than some no name brand case which is why I took the chance. Mugen makes extended battery and cases for many phones such as Nexus, Samsung note and "s",s and I think iPhone. In any case I hope I don't regret this purchase. So far the device feels more premium and durable than the previous.

Being made by the same manufacturer doesn't always mean same product or quality. Coke may for example might make " Joe's Cola" does not mean that "Joe's" is as good as coke.
[One (M8) Accessories] md1008:
Mugen advertised that you can sync with this case... I call BS I can not, it will pop up on my computer as HTC one m8 mtp device than it disappears and reappears meaning it's connecting and disconnecting. That's a real bummer.

Another plus is that when you charge the phone it will charge the case secondly. So if you charge the phone over night you will have a fully charged phone and case :)
[One (M8) Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
eh to each his own, your talking about taste which something you can actually see and taste, but if you can find the different between a 15$ and a 100$ battery thats something else.
[One (M8) Accessories] md1008:
In a sense yes, in a sense no. The first case I bought died in less than 3 months.
[One (M8) Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
doesnt mean the product is bad, just mean one malfunction unit, you can buy another one and still better off than spent $100
[One (M8) Accessories] md1008:
And if that one dies? Just buy another one? So far I am really happy with this case, hopefully I will not have buyers remorse.

I get this case is too much for you, but the case has already been bought and its my money so really no point in trying to dissuade me
[One (M8) Accessories] WarCow:
And you know why the cheap ones malfunction so much? Because part of what you pay for in the expensive models is the quality control and adherence to specifications during the manufacturing. So yeah, it's possible they are built in the same factories but that doesn't mean they're build to the same standard.

I'm all for saving money where I can, but I wouldn't try to save a few dollars on something as dangerous as a battery, which can and do explode/overheat while in your pocket or hand. But I guess that's up to you and your priorities.
[One (M8) Accessories] G1_enthusiast:
what? that doesn't make sense at all. The batteries are built from a machine, they're NOT hand made, so yes, they are built to the same standard...

its up to you...but i done the test when I have the Samsung galaxy S2 and S3

Mugen vs Anker vs some other brand and from what I see, there is absolutely no difference, if a "sticker" from Mugen justify you paying 1/5 of the price of the phone then go ahead...but its better to educate others so they don't make the same mistake.

P.S all the phone that I used that have removable battery or battery case, I never had one that will "explode" in my hands...
