Hello Folks,

I am using XOLO Q600 running andriod jellybean OS, unrooted. I am having a weird experience with my sd card. Last evening I was playing a game and my phone got hung in next few minutes. I was not even able to shut it down. So I pulled out the battery and restarted it. Since then it is showing DAMAGED SD CARD error, and asking me to format it. But, again, I am unable to format it from my phone, and my can't read the card. I tried to connect my sd card to my laptop using a card reader, it is showing all the files, I am able to copy all the files to my hard drive, but I am not able to delete them. I tried all possble methods to format it, but vain. I even tried to low level format it, but it says card is readonly. When I again insert it into my phone, it says damaged sd card again, but if I try to format it many times (on the phone), say 5 to 10 times, luckily it is successful once and the card works fine in the phone, I can read all the files, but I can't delete any file, it says "No permission to delete". Now if I restart my phone, it would say DAMAGED SD CARD once again, and I would be screwed up. Someone please help !

Hello

I'm facing a weird issue with my Xperia L, whenever I keep my mobile idle in pocket(so tight packed)for a long time the lock screen gets freezes that I will be forced to pull of the battery to restart the device. Even the power off wont work out that the screen will go completely non responsive.This is creating a lotta problems as I will have to ignore important calls during lock screen freeze time.i had the same issue using Xperia L stock firmware and taoshan Cyanogenmode 11. please suggest a work around for this issue.

Thanks

Hazil
[Sony Xperia L] abhi007.john:
You're facing this with stock firmware too??
[Sony Xperia L] hazil33:
Yes, i am facing this issue in Stock firmware and Cyanogenmode 11 too..Will that be a hardware issue?All of a sudden i wont be able to answer calls,i cant unlock or power off my phone..I will forced to pull of the battery and restart it manually :(
[Sony Xperia L] abhi007.john:
Probably yes.

Try a clean flash of the latest ftf. Wipe everything and flash your phone with the latest firmware available. Remember that wiping here is the most important part.

If you still face the problem then it's hardware.

Best of luck

Hit thanks if it helped
[Sony Xperia L] hazil33:
Yeah.I tried that with more than one stock Rom and still i am facing the same issue.What kinda hardware issue that can be??Will that be resolved if the touch is replaced?
[Sony Xperia L] abhi007.john:
I don't think it's touchpad issue.

It's something to do with the board perhaps.

Go to the service centre. They will tell you

Does anyone know how to game stream over the internet? The original shield's way doesn't work for me.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rolldog:
Mine works fine. Once you stream from your PC using GeForce Experience, then when you open Shield Hub when outside the network it should work. Yesterday though, my Gamestream quit working altogether. I haven't had time to look into it yet, but I'm assuming it's firewall related.
[Lenovo P780] Danhoff1:
Hello folks!!

So my dad has an Lenovo P780 with the SLX rom version 22. My dad likes the swiftkey keyboard so i got it for him. After a few days my dad experienced that the phone automatically resets it to google keyboard.

Now my Brother was so smart to disable the Google keyboard. Now the phone wil still boot but immidiatly give all kind of errors like 'system ui stopped' so the phone is likely broken. Cant even scroll before the next error.

I tried to go into recovery but the phone is stuck at the google logo. (Slx is a Nexus ROM).

What can i do? I am familiar with flashtools and fastboot but doesnt know how that works with the p780 because i have a oneplus one.

Thnx in advance!
[Lenovo P780] stympy:
Hi. This is interesting!

Try this:go to settings, apps, press menu button(the one from the left), then Reset app preferences.

Iff this dont work try to do a backup and reset- Factory data reset.

Good Luck
[Lenovo P780] Danhoff1:
Thnx. Wasnt able to touch the screen at all but now i flashed a kitkat ROM through flashtool. No having connectivity problems. Check my other topic..

I have Atnt HTC one with 4.3 ,and sense 5 ,locked bootloader, software no. 3.17.502.3 ,can I update manually by using ota zip through stock recovery to kitkat and sense 6 please help
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] clsA:
yes but you also need s-off
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mahesh48:
I didn't unlock the bootloader,is it compulsory
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] clsA:
unlocking the bootloader will start a whole new set of problems

the unlock process wipes your phone and deletes files need for the OTA to proceed without error.

did you try just flashing the OTA with stock recovery and see if it worked ?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mahesh48:
No I am not asking about bootloader, I was asking whether s off is compulsory ,I am still on locked bootloader and stock recvry
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] clsA:
as far as I know s-off is required

your welcome to try it ..most that will happen is it will fail
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mahesh48:
Will try and let u knw
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] darkenedpath:
I may be wrong, but if its still stock everything, can you not do a manual update from HTC website
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] clsA:
HTC doesn't offer the update, AT&T push's it to your phone.

But if your out of the AT&T coverage area you never get the updates

Hello,

By flashing thunderzap kernal(Stable version) on my Xperia L, I installed the latest version of Cyanogemode 11(toashan) and there by the firmware was running butter smooth without any problem, now I tried to revert the firmware with stock Rom and I understood that the best way to install stock rom is to flash it via flashtool.The problem what I am facing is after entering in flash mode, the flashtool widget gets stuck at "flashing loader".the percent is stuck at 0%.The confusion comes into play as the phone never shows signs that it is in flash mode.i tried flashing another kernal still the same old problem.

Thanks

Hazil
[Sony Xperia L] abhi007.john:
Flashing a custom kernel has nothing to do with a stock ftf.

Can you tell the steps that you're following to flash stock?
[Sony Xperia L] hazil33:
Reply

1. Turn off the phone and let it rest for 30 sec and did the below tasks.

2.Copied the stock ftf, C2104_15.3.A.1.17_Generic into the firmware folder of flashtool,clicked the flash mode button in flashtool and waited for the prompt to plug in my phone holding the back button connecting the usb cable.

3.Now i saw a pop up in my pc(windows 7) saying that the device is connected in flash mode.

4.Now the flashtool prompt goes when i connected the device, and it gets stuck at the notification saying "flashing loader" and its at 0%.

This the issue which i am facing right now. I cant flash stock rom and get back to 4.2 :'(
[Sony Xperia L] abhi007.john:
How could you hold the 'back' button???

there's no such button as far as I know.

Anyways since you're able to connect in flashmode I assume that you're talking about the volume down button. Try changing the firmware(ftf). Instead of generic, try any other version. And run flashtool as administrator.

Best of luck

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tempest22:
A week ago, I got a prompt to update to the most recent Android version. I have a Galaxy S5 SM-G900F. Had rooted it with Towelroot in July and everything was smooth, haven't done any major changes other than SuperSU and titanium. After I ok'ed the software update, it got to like 30% or something until it crashed and rebooted. Everything seems fine, just the update didn't get installed, I'm still 4.4.2. When trying to update it, it says that my operating system has been modified in an unauthorized way (towelroot) and that I should try to download updates using Kies.

So I looked a bit for solutions, I checked the SuperSU survival mode AFTER failing the update, and now my question is, what is the best way to update whilst retaining root and all my settings, in the fastest way? Or just what is the best solution to update? Don't really want to download Kies just for this. Sorry for noobness. Thanks for any help, appreciate it.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
The best thing to do is always search first. Most questions have been asked and answered before, so a quick search gives you an immediate answer, not to mention a larger number of replies and accumulated wisdom. And if any aspect remains unanswered, you are in a much better position to pose informed questions.

Of course that is a pipe dream, because most people aren't sensible enough to take 30 seconds to search, expecting someone else to gift wrap the answer for them.

Anyway, the best approach is arguably to never be first to accept an update. Instead wait a few days and then see what early adopters are posting about any given new update. Every update is different and that will quickly tell you if there are any issues regarding root and inevitably how to deal with them. OTA updates will usually break root and often fail to install properly as well. It's better to wait and install an update via Odin IMO.

Some apps, notably mobile odin pro and super su pro have root survival modes that will attempt to regain root after an update. But there are no guarantees and you should not rely upon them. Instead treat it as an emergency plan B.

Did you change from dalvik to ART. I got the same message after changing to art and going back to dalvik sorted it for me.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tempest22:
Thanks for the answer. I'm not technically well versed, I just know that this forum is the best for people like me who need advice from the pros lol. I would rather just have the most recent update because I don't want any vulnerabilities or whatever. I haven't ever used Odin, just Towelroot and done. I don't use any roms, just factory plus root through towelroot and supersu, that's it for now. So again, how would a noob like me go about safely getting an update and having the reassurance that Towelroot will either still be there, or if an unroot is necessary, that towelroot will be able to root again? Kies? Also, is an actual OTA update still possible (I'm getting that error message) or is a computer update the only thing left?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tempest22:
nope, just towelrooted it 2 months ago and that's that. no roms. still have 4.2.2, wanted to update. I got a failed update a week ago when I got an OTA update prompt. That failed, root is stil there, S5 working fine but can't do OTA since it gives me that error message. What could I do to safely get the most recent software update but retain root, OR be able to update and reroot again with towelroot if I need to unroot to update...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tempest22:
can anybody help please?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalfan78:
Why not find a stock rooted rom for your model and flash it?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Just downgrade to an older rom like NE2 and root with Towelroot, after that flash the new rom with Mobile Odin Pro and keep root with Everroot and the other 2 options enabled. Or flash an older kernel on your updated rom now and reroot with TR, look here for how to http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-triggering-knox-2nd-method-t2843044. Or as posted above a pre-rooted stock rom like Alexander rom.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tempest22:
I'm sorry but I really don't know what that means in this context for an update. I used Towelroot 2 months ago to root and still haven't gotten myself anx root aps or mods (but was planning on it right when the update failed). Is there not a simple way to make this update work while either 1)unrooting, then updating then rerooting with Towelroot, or 2) updating whilst retaining Towelroot?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tempest22:
and ecniqu

I don't think you understand what I'm asking for, or I'm just way too much of a noob, probably that. but I'd just like to update to the most recent Android version. I'm 4.4.2, got an update prompt 1 week ago, have an SM-G900F, and have Towelrooted 2 months ago. All I want is to update. How can I do this, since I'm getting the failure message that it can't be updated due to my device being modified. If I unroot with supersu, then update, then (if the update works) try to Towelroot again, will Towelroot work? Or does the new update **** with it? Or an I update with Samsung Kies, while retaining Towelroot? Ahhhh I'm so sorry for this stupid question but I really don't know :(
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tempest22:
no halp?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tempest22:
I'm really sorry for bumping this again, but I just honestly have no clue what to do to get it updated and either retain Towelroot or be able to install it again after updating. somebody help a noob out please.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] James1993:
my samsung galaxy s5 , it is rooted but I would like to upgrade, I can't do the OTA upgrade so I should proceed with Kies , I would like to know whether I have to unroot my phone (how do I do that? via kies? it does not matter if it'll lose the root, I just want to be sure I would still be able to use my samsung without creating any damage)or just directly proceed with the upgrade,furthermore, my phone was a sumsung galaxy s5 tmobile but I managed to unlock it in order to use it with other carriers, if I install the original firmware and then upgrade to the newest version, can I still use it with other carriers or will return locked? thank you in advance for your help

Please use proper topic titles that give people a description of what the topic is about. Using silly generic titles that tell people nothing will just mean you get less views as people tend to ignore these topics.

Please use common sense, generic/non-descriptive titles help nobody, especially you.

using activesyn 4.2 i still cannot get my outlook contacts to sync with my 838pro.

CONTACTS NAMES HAVE TO BE COMPLETED CORRECTLY. COPY ALL OF YOUR CONTACTS, TO A SUB FOLDER OR ALTERNATIVE FOLDER. DELETE FROM YOUR OUTLOOK ENTIRELY ALLOW THE SYNC TO DELETE FROM YOUR PPC.

THEN COPY, ONE BY ONE BACK, ALLOW EACH TO SYNC, AND CHECK. THEN YOU WILL FIND THOSE THAT SYNC, THOSE THAT DONT, AND START TO IDENTIFY THE ERRORS.

ONCE CONTACTS HAVE SYNC'D, YOU CAN THEN CHOOSE WHICH YOU DONT WANT SYNC'D BY CATEGORIES, PERHAPS YOU HAVE INADVERTANTELY DESELECTED SOME CATEGORIES.

some files sync, some do not;

FILES, IE USING YOUR DESKTOP SHORT CUT, OR DO YOU MEAN DATABASE ENTRIES?

email YES; contacts, favorites NO.

SOME FAVOURITES ARE JUST A PAIN. RELOCATE ALL THE ITEMS ON YOUR DEVICE TO AN ALTERNATIVE LOCATION \WINDOWS\FAVORITES.

DE SELECT THE SYNC FAVORITES. ONCE YOUR PPC FOLDER IS EMPTY, ALSO WIND BACK, OR REDUCE THE AMOUNT YOUR SYNCING FROM YOUR PC.

THEN SELECTIVELY, WHILST CONNECTED COPY 1 BY 1 ACROSS. I FOUND THAT SOME LINKS, OR SOME SYNC'S JUST DIDNT WORK. WHICH STOPPED ALL FROM SYNC'ING.

IT IS GENERALLY RECOMMENDED THAT FAVORITES ARE CONTROLLED BY ONE DEVICE OR THE OTHER, NOT USING COMBINATIONS.... THIS WAS AN OLD 2003 ISSUE, NO SURE IF RESOLVED.

what's my next move?

SYSTEMATIC AND METHODICAL TESTING... IF ALL ELSE FAILS,

1. REMOVE THE PARTNERSHIP, AND RE-PAIR

2. HARD RESET THE DEVICE....

could i have problem with the computer, a tablet pc running outlook 2003?

Contacts do not sync - with activsync

Hi

I also have the same problem. I have a t-mobile MDA vario II and normal windows xp computer. I had no problems synching contacts with my orange spv c500 - easy as pie. Now with my vario ii it just refuses I have tried:

1. deleting the partnership a few times

2. hard resetting the device

Neither work.

In fact after the first time the partnership is set up, I found that the tick box to select to synch the contacts was greyed out. This is really frustrating. I take the point above that some contacts work and others might not, but why should this work perfectly well with the SPV and not the MDA?

Many thanks for any suggestions

Having just got an O2 XDA Orbit I had exactly the same problem with my Outlook Contacts not being synched.

I discovered that if I edited the contacts in Outlook in anyway (eg. adding and deleting a space) then the contact was then synched to my phone.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] simon_darley:
I have never had any problems on my XDAII, Jasjar, nor Jasjam... So not sure where your problems are coming from.

I have multiple sync systems working left right and centre and all appear to be working as I would expect. All I can think of is that you are using incorrect activesync, or incorrect outlook versions, or as above, just edit a couple. Alternatively, follow my previous post, ie create a sub folder, move all of your contacts to the subfolder. Delete all the ones on your device that didnt sync inthe move, copy one across, did it sync, yes ok, move on, if not, investigate, and so on and so forth.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] freedo:
Figured it out

For some reason it was not clear at the and now I don't know what changed, but it works so who cares.

All I did was go into activesync,

Tools > Options and check the contacts box.

For some reason before this was greyed out. At least I can now use this expensive device. Yay!!

My S4 has randomly reverted to alot of default settings (overnight). For example, it has "forgotten" my default sound settings and default apps. The home button no longer works (presumably because my default launcher was Nova and it has "forgotten" it), my usual notifications are gone (e.g. the weather, Llama profile), and probably alot more that I have not yet noticed.
