[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRedViper:
Basically, my nexus 4 is running Paranoid Android Beta 4.6 and there is this weird issue wherein the wifi is functioning, like it connects to my wifi and i can use it for most apps but the wifi icon stays brown instead of turning white like it usually does, and because of this the play store wont open, it opens i mean, but it doesnt connect. is their any one else with this issue? is there a way to fix it? This started happening recently i flashed my rom around 10 days ago.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rondias18:
Try reflashing the ROM, if that doesn't work then flash the latest radios drivers along with it. Probably the ROM is having trouble communicating with the WiFi driver. Also check your external modem internet speed, if the phone doesn't detect a fast enough connection the indicator won't turn white
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ergalthema:
Overall, my S5 is working pretty well, but it has started doing something strange. A few times each day, I get a "Unfortunately, _____ has stopped" message. A few times, I've noticed that "travel wallpaper" is the app that has stopped. I've never tried to use that (whatever it is). I'm pretty sure "Google news stand" or something like that was the app sometimes, as well as other apps.

For a couple months, I've been rooted and use Titanium Backup to freeze some of the bloatware that I felt pretty sure I don't want (all from a list of "safe to remove" apps). I use Greenify on a few apps, but not the ones that are showing up in the error messages.

A week or so before I noticed these errors, I had installed a bad .apk. It seemed sketchy, so I quickly uninstalled it. I ran Clean Master and it found nothing bad. But I'm still thinking I might want to wipe my device. I'd kind of like to go through the process just to do it. I've been doing regular backups with Titanium and I can't think of anything on the phone that I can't restore from scratch.

Is there a best method for wiping and using Titanium Backup to restore?

Edit: "Wi-Fi Direct share" is another app that gets the error message.

Edit: I used Safestrap to backup immediately after I rooted. The phone was stable at that point and for a month after.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpcalhoun:
Before you wipe your phone may I suggest that you unfreeze everything first, then see if you get the "Unfortunately...." message. If you stop getting that message then it is a pretty good chance that you have something frozen that an app or system needs to use. Wiping your phone and getting a fresh install of apps is always a good idea...if you have the time and inclination to do those type things. Installing apps from a backup is handy, but if you have a bad download/app install you will only be replicating the problem by installing from a back up. This is usually not a problem, but you never know. If you wipe, and have the time, try downloading the apps you want from Play Store to make sure you have the latest/fresh app. Yeah it is a PITA but you can be assured that the apps on your phone are the latest versions.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ergalthema:
I'll probably do that when I have a chance. Is there a particular method of wiping that is recommended?

I would like to restore my Nova Launcher home screen settings, Wanam settings, and any other customizations like that if possible.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpcalhoun:
Doing a Factory Reset is a good way to wipe your phone without touching your system apps. Or, if you have a custom recovery on your phone, you can do a full or partial wipe through recovery. I've used both methods and don't know if one way is any better than the other. You can save your current Nova setting to your SD card and restore after you have wiped. I don't use Wanam so I don't know about that app's settings and restore capability.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ergalthema:
Immediately after I rooted, I made a backup with Safestrap. Titanium Backup has been backing up my apps and data.

Should I try to install the Safestrap recovery backup I made a couple months ago?

I did a lot of research before rooting, and so many people said how easy it was, etc. While using towelroot was super easy, learning how to correctly use Safestrap, etc. was not - especially since there were a couple error messages along the way and it didn't work quite how the info I gathered said it would (even the video from the Safestrap app page was not how most people set it up).

Regardless of what restore method you recommend, any info and helpful tips would be appreciated. I'm moving all my photos, videos, etc. to my computer, so there shouldn't be anything on the phone that I could not restore.

I saved my settings in Nova Launcher and Wanam. Hopefully, most of my customizations will restore from those settings - but I obviously all the icons won't return because some of the apps were not installed before the Safestrap backup.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpcalhoun:
SafeStrap is the only recovery available for a retail S5. You have essentially two options: Do a factory reset which will not remove your firmware or ROM, it will only remove apps and associated cache and data. Many times that is all one needs to "clean-up their phone" and getting back to operating like new. Or, option 2, wipe data, cache, delvek cache, factory reset and flash your backup, if you trust it. If you don't trust your current backup make another one and flash that backup then restore your apps. I personally would do option 2. Make a new backup in Safestrap, then do a factory reset and flash the backup. That will accomplish what you want. You can always replace apps. The most important thing is to make sure you have a backup of your current ROM before you do anything.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ergalthema:
Hmm, why is the ROM backup important? Because it's more difficult to get root back otherwise? I was more concerned about restoring my customizations for launcher, etc.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpcalhoun:
Maybe I misunderstand what it is you're trying to accomplish. Just a reminder-- RULE #1: if you're going to hack a phone (and you already have done that by rooting and installing SafeStrap) always, always have a backup.

Refresh for me what it is you're trying to accomplish. I haven't used SafeStrap in a couple of years, I have a Developer Edition. However, I'll try to help you accomplish what you want without bricking your phone, that is priority one. Even if you loose root, you can always use towelroot again to re-root. If you brick your phone, well, that is another story.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ergalthema:
That's the kind of reason I posted this.

I made a Safestrap backup immediately after rooting. Everything was stable then (and for a month or so after).

Basically, I've tried a lot of apps, and one that seemed sketchy recently. My phone started throwing up the "___ has stopped" errors regularly, so something seems wrong. I want to go back to a stable state. I might even not freeze any apps with Titanium Backup for a while to see how it run. There are some apps that are currently on my phone that I won't bother reinstalling. Otherwise, I don't really want to change anything.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpcalhoun:
Ok, I understand...again, LOL. Yes, first unfreeze anything you have frozen and see if the error message goes away. If it does then you had something frozen that an app or system needed. The trick is going to be discovering what you had frozen that was causing the error. Uninstall (using the stock apps manager) any apps that you no longer use or want.

If the error has not returned, then freeze a few apps at a time and see if the error returns. If it does then you have narrowed the problem down to a few apps. Sorry, there is no better way to go through the "freezing" process. Sometimes it is just trial and error. By the way, what error(app) was stopping. That might help identify what you Don't want to freeze.

To avoid a Factory Reset, you can go into recovery and wipe cache and delvek cache. Do not select/wipe data, system or anything else. Then select reboot phone from within SafeStrap. When your phone re-boots Android will build (optimizing apps) delvek cache. This will not brick your phone, but it will clean it up and get rid of potential problems left over from uninstalled apps. And, you will not loose root.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ergalthema:
There are a variety of apps that get the stop error - a lot of different apps. It's not consistent and seems to happen randomly (often apps I've never used). Because of that, I'm tempted to try to go back to a previous state. If you think it's sufficient to clear those caches and uninstall any apps I'm unsure of, then I might try it. However, I'd probably still worry that something bad was still installed somewhere. Maybe the only way to remove all doubt would be to factory reset. Or would my Safestrap backup be a certain way to put my phone back to its state before the sketchy app was installed?

I might try your method first to see how it goes.

If I wanted to use the Safestrap backup, I'm not sure exactly how. Do I open Safestrap and "install recovery"?

I really appreciate all the info. I'm learning a lot here.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpcalhoun:
No problem, glad to help.

Ok, lets try the safest process first and progress from there.

1. Remove all unwanted and/or not used apps

2. Unfreeze everything and see if any errors occur

3. If no error then you have something frozen causing the problem. If the error still occurs then go to 4.

4. Enter recovery and clean cache and delvek...reboot phone and see what happens

5. If errors continue to occur then do a factory reset

6. If errors continue to occur after Factory Reset then wipe phone and flash your backup

How to flash backup: Go into recovery (SafeStrap), select Wipe and wipe (cache, delvek, data), and do a factory reset. Then, while still in recovery, go to Restore and select your backup and swipe to install the backup. After the install, select reboot.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ergalthema:
I defrosted everything and still got errors.

I entered recovery, selected Wipe, then Advanced Wipe. That gives me options for "Dalvik Cache", "Cache", and a few others.

You said "delvek" where Safestrap Advanced Wipe says "Dalvik". I don't want to risk anything. Can you confirm that I should wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpcalhoun:
Yes, wipe cache and dalvek cache

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] brownrt:
Anyone got this working on CM?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Uh60m Pilot:
I don't think the find 7 is supported by Google and is not able to be used with tap to play. Additionally i think due to security reasons i think you have to be on 4.4.

https://support.google.com/wallet/answer/1347934?hl=en

I was looking into this a few days ago when I held up a line at the supermarket slapping my phone unsuccessfully against the pay pad. :)

-sent from my Find 7a using tapatalk
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] brownrt:
Thanks for the reply....but I am on 4.4 and individual phone manufacturer is not an issue. Tap and Pay should be working.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Entropy512:
Tap and pay is not working with AOSP and any device that has a PN544 chipset.

PN547 and Broadcom chipsets only.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] brownrt:
Interesting. But could you clarify.

Does it not work on AOSP roms on PN544 chipsets?

or

Does it not work on PN544 Chipsets?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Entropy512:
It is closed-source only for PN544 chipsets. OEMs must pay NXP extra money for the feature.

Which means that it is only available for PN544 chipsets if an OEM officially releases 4.4 for a device. Blob NFC support tends not to transfer well between devices, no one has successfully transferred the HTC M7 or Sony Z Ultra NFC blobs to any other device.

Google has also given some OEMs exceptions to the HCE requirement for devices with 544s - this includes their very own 2012 Nexus 7. (grouper has not had tap-to-pay since Wallet dropped NFC SE support.)

NXP pushed PN547 support to AOSP a month or two ago, and some of the code (such as the name pn54x) HINTS that it is not just for PN547 - but no one has succeeded in getting it to work on anything but a PN547 device. https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/103142/
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] brownrt:
That was an incredibly detailed and useful reply chock full of widgitable quotations and knowdgification! So Thanks for that.

For Posterity:

HCE=Host Card Emulation

NXP= Co-inventor of NFC with Sony

Another question, the Oppo forums have hinted at 4.4 and unified storage coming soon. It sounds like you are also saying that unless Oppo pays-to-play it's still not going to happen? That's rather unfortunate.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Entropy512:
Yup. Other useful stuff:

SE - Secure element. The pre-HCE approach to tap-and-pay. All Oppos lacked this.

NCI - NFC Controller Interface (I think) - a standard for how drivers/software talks to NFC chips. PN547 and all of Broadcom's chips are NCI-compliant, the PN544 (older) is not. Pretty much all Oppos have a PN544.

Oppo is working on various partition merging schemes. They originally tried Coldbird's repartitioning stuff but it was a total disaster with lots of users screwing up their devices. Their engineers are looking into LVM, but I don't know what the status on this is at the moment. For KitKat, they've actually removed any support for merged partitions.

I do not know if their KitKat releases have HCE. I'm not sure if they have to PAY NXP for the capability - it may be included as part of their purchase of the chips, but restricted from being open-sourced by an NDA. (Similar to lots of Qualcomm's stuff.) I know that getting GMS (gapps) approval from Google if you don't support HCE requires Google to grant you a special exemption for the resulting CTS failure now. (I can't dig up the link discussing this at the moment...)
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] brownrt:
In case you didn't know, It appears tap and pay works on the new Color OS 2.0 kk4.4.2. I cant completely confirm because the vending machines wont accept the mastercard debit (I suppose thats the protocol Wallet uses for transactions) but it does behave the same way my other phone with tap and pay behaves.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Entropy512:
Doesn't surprise me... It appears that lacking HCE is now an automatic CTS failure, which Google will only give you an exception for if you can prove that your hardware can't support it (such as with grouper).

The question, of course, is whether it's possible to do blob transplant hacks to use this stuff on AOSP-derivative firmwares. :)

Now that we have it for the device itself, it's something I can take another crack at.

Turned it off on the airplane and would not boot pst the blue cingular screen later. I have removed the battery several times, soft reset several times, one hard reset, tried a different battery, left it on the blue screen for an hour, left the battery out for hours nothing.

I left it off and plugged in the charger the orange light came on and changed to green in about an hour.

I downloaded the latest version rom upgrade from the cingular link and was able to get it to connect via the bootloader. It changed the ipl to 2.25, the spl to 2.25 the gsm to 82.25.11 and the os to 2.25.11.1, but still nothing. I repeated the process with plugging in the charger with the battery out and letting it flash the blue cingular screen for about 2 min then starting bootloader, installing battery and connecting to pc and running the ruu. Did not help. I did notice on the RUU screen that says it is changing the os from version (blank) to version 2.25 it may not see installed version if it is truly installed.

my huawei ascend y201pro is almost dead after i attempted to root. i know i may have made a mistake at one point but please forgive my ignorance. so this is exactly what happened before, during and now after rooting.:

I googled for the instrctions and got it. I downloaded the following files:

Root y201 pro.zip

UnlockBootloader.zip

recovery.zip

I extracted the files to a folder on desktop after which i was ready to start.

turned on usb debugging and disabled fast boot and then connected my phone to the pc. Installed drivers.

I clicked on the file unlockbootloader and ran as administrator and clicked on ROOT your phone. I guess here is where the problem was, after clicking on 'Root your phone" there was a command window running several commands automatically on my computer but before it alerted me of successful rooting, i checked my phone and saw a folder "superuser" clicked on it, and minimized the command window on computer screen and moved on to the next step; UNLOCKBOOTLOADER, clicked and worked out fine and closed itself, so i knew am through, i switched off the phone and removed the usb cable then tried to switch it on to no avail. could not charge , not being seen on the computer via the same cable. pulled out the battery and reinserted, tried to switch it on and what i see is the 3 buttons(menu,home and back keys) blinking exactly 10 times before they go off. The screen is completely black with no sign of life. I have searched for a solution to this online and in your forums but mostly are bricked phones which boot to recovery mode. nothing relates to exactly my problem.
