Thanks for the suggestion - I installed both and they are indeed a great combo. The stylus beta is MUCH better than Samsung's default handwriting board and takes up less real estate.

Hello guys I moved on from oneplus one, thinking to buy a premium phone but the self cracking issue has put me into a fix.So what do you guys suggest, reasons for the issue, is it still prevalent.

I do gaming sometimes for 1/2 an hour.Should I go for g3 32gb?But I found that scrolling in app drawer is not so smooth
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Self cracking issue i have no idea whats up because i had 3 Z2s which went through relatively extreme conditions for a standard device aka heating and cooling and none of the 3 "self cracked"

Z2 may only be 16GB but alows for a Expandable micro sd upto 128GB so storage

Slow app drawer is to be fixed in an upcoming 4.4.4 firmware update from sony

I am getting the note 3 today or tomorrow after much debate over the note 4. I think Samsung dropped the ball with releasing it so far after the iphone 6.

Anyway, anyone else keeping the note 3, and my main expectation is in the camera as I take lots of pics of my kids, so how is the camera? Your feedback, if given, will help my decision.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BIGSIKE3:
The camera is excellent IMHO, I believe it will last me 2 more years easily. So much so I see no need to move on to the Note 4.

[Samsung Gear 2] :
Hi

Just curious, if it is possible to control the gear 2 cam from the phone.

I know it's possible, to control the phones camera from the watch, but is it also possible the other way around, so that I can see my gears camera on my phone and then take pictures from my phone too?

Thanks in advance

Yes, it is possible and there is at least one app in the store that offers this functionality (gear2spy).

Hi,

I'm not sure if I'm just using bad search terms or what, but I haven't been able to come up with anything.

I know something similar must be out there! Apologies if it's easy to find and I've just overlooked it...

What I'm looking for is a Video Recording/Camcorder App that streams live to YouTube, G-Drive or even my own Server.

Just want to be able to shoot video and have it safely stored offsite immediately...

(Not like the stock camcorder app that let's you share and upload the video post shooting)

I mean if someone grabbed the phone out of your hand whilst recording, it would still be there.

Does anybody have any suggestions, I'd really appreciate any help!

Thanks,

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porga:
Hello,

I have problem with power connector on the tablet. When charger is plugged in it moves left and right slightly, making rec power light disappear, screen flickering and even continuous tablet restarts.

There are two possibilities:

1. Charger cable is problematic

2. Charging port is problematic (it has 0.8 Nokia like round charger plug).

I do not have spare charger to test, but from what I see, more probable is that charging port is problematic.

So here are questions:

a) Where can i buy such port on e-bay to solder it in place of old one (someone who knows please answer me)

b) Since battery i very weak, can it be ordered somewhere on e-bay or similar site?

c) Is there a way to make tablet work directly plugged in (charger directly connected to mainboard)

d) Your suggestion (other than throwing tablet away, because I know that one on my own)

Thank you in advance.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebertshay:
Hi all,

Let me try to walk you through everything that I've done to try and get some help here.

I have an lg g2 sprint (lg-ls980)

1. When I got it I first upgraded to android 4.4.2

2. Then I rooted using stump root

3. I installed xposed and a few xposed modules....I then decided Id rather have a different rom, so

4. I used autorec (which to my understanding changed my kernel in order to workaround boot loader and install twrp? is that accurate?)

5. Booted to twrp, wiped data and installed cyanogenmod and gapps

After this I get stuck and can't boot past the lg logo, so I booted back to recovery and restored my backup. So I did the same and tried pacrom this time with the same results.

I then decided that if I'm going to be stuck with stock rom I at least want my knock on back, so I flashed the patched kernel and same thing- stuck at lg logo....

I know I downloaded the correct zip files and placed them on the root, and always wiped before flashing.

Then I went into download mode on the lg support tool to try to get back to factory, but it says my firmware and recovery is up to date. The odd thing is that the lg support tool shows my phone as ls740 rather than ls980... is this because of something that autorec changed? Do I need to download zip files for ls740 instead? So confused..

About phone in my g2s settings shows android version 4.4.2 and kernel version 3.4.0

Anyways, if anyone could help me to successfully get one of these roms to flash and get back to the kernel that supports the knock code I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] SyrStorm:
Okay, so I have had 3 android devices so far, and as I upgrade, each phone gets more advanced and there are things that are new to me. I've dealt with kernels in the past on the OG RAZR, but not to the extent of this phone. Now I understood what clock speeds were fine on the RAZR, but not one the One. Can someone explain to me the limitations on this phone? This includes clock speeds for this phone, GPU overclocking, which I've never done, and voltage settings, which I don't understand at all. I've never tried going this advanced into a phone because I've never had a phone this advanced really. I am currently running EclipticROM, which uses the Lunar Kernel. Any explanation or help is appreciated! Thanks!

Check your bin and PVS. The higher the PVS, the higher you can clock the cpu. Keep in mind, overclocking will drain battery faster when it hits those higher frequencies. Like my bin is 1 (normal) and PVS is 2 (not good for OC, but a tad better in battery savings) PVS also determines how low you can UV, but you will only see very little difference in UV (maybe squeeze a few extra minutes on a full discharge at the cost of possible instability just for -50)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjkblj54:
Hey people of XDA,

It's my first time posting so forgive me if its a repeat or dumb question but here goes my story :

I bought a used S4 that was rooted + aws enabled. It was working fine until one day it got stuck on the Samsung logo during boot. I tried clearing cache and factory resetting from the recovery but that didnt work. So I proceeded to reverting the phone to the stock rom with odin, which I got from Android rootz ( Google telus s4 stock rom, its the first link ).

So that worked, the phone booted its 4.2.2 but , no Wifi and no sound no AWS. My question are :

- Why arent the wifi and sound working if it was stock ?

- can I root my S4 following the steps in this thread : (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2293800 ) ?

- does it matter which version of Android im on ? for instance, I was thinking about installing the stock kikat for telus before rooting ?

- Does it matter if i use odin 1.85 vs newer versions

THANKSSS :p:p:cool:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tkkg1994:
1. I would install 4.4.2

2. If it wont work with odin1.85 use the 3.09 version

3. Install philz touch recovery and select "clean to install a new rom" so everything will be cleaned and the wifi should work fine after flash with odin

4. root it with www.towelroot.com

5. I hope I answered all your questions
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjkblj54:
Hey,

I really appreciate your help...i just started all this stuff yesterday so lm going to look into philz touch recovery. Also I think I know how to root using odin so im just going to do that once my phone starts working ( unless that doesnt work on 4.4.2 ? )

However, Right now can i just use odin to add in kit kat stock rom for telus ( or any other stock rom for that matter - maybe the one i used was bad )? I honestly want to worry about rooting and AWS after getting the phone fully functional

Thanks again i really appreciate your help
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smeiff:
Ok first off, I successfully rooted my device and was able to see SU app and I could adb shell su into the device. However I was unable to ADB install xxx.apk due to permissions. I was reading I needed to chmodd 777 the system folder and change the default.prop file however I only ever got to chmod 777 and backed out of that idea. Did I somehow brick my device?

When I turn it on I see "Kindle Fire" logo however it just goes black after that. I may just return it to Amazon and say it was DOA and get a new one... just got it yesterday :)

EDIT: Ended up just sending it back and getting a new one... didn't feel like fixing it. I think messing with the shell broke something because I didn't have any issues rooting the 2 new kindles I got

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/tw-kitkat-4-4-4-nha-rom-9-13-t2875815

And if there were more than one ROM, the recommendation would be to read the OP (first post) of each ROM thread, check out the features listed for each ROM, and decide on your own which ROM to run. Try it out for a while, and if you find you don't like it, try a different ROM. No one can tell you which ROM you are going to like best, you are the only one who can judge that. One one person prefers may not be what you prefer. That is why asking for ROM recommendations gets threads closed around XDA.

Contrary to what you believe, it IS AT&T. :(

I have had a number of phones that all behaved the same way on AT&T's network.

Friends on Sprint or Verizon have no such issue, generally.
[Sprint LG G3] sinisin:
Sprint has the stock Sprint boot animation and shut down animation in /carrier/cust/poweron and /carrier/cust/power off, along with the boot and shut down sounds. These are the yellow spark animations. They also have the stock unbranded LG boot and shut down animations in /system/media.

To get rid of the yellow ones, just delete or rename the Zips and sounds(the ogg files) from /carrier/cust. This will leave you booting the stock LG animations, which have sound built in to the zip Im assuming because I don't have any sounds in there. LG Stock unbranded animations are in /system/media and you can change these to anything you like. Keep in mind, the bigger the animation the longer your boot up will take.

Deleting or disabling(rename with .bak on the end of the stock bootanimation.zip(like so, bootanimation.zip.bak)) the stock yellow animations in /carrier/cust decreases boot time significantly. The phone boots 3-4 times faster without those huge ugly yellow things.

I've seen a lot of questions about the initial LG screen with "Powered by Android" on it, the one that comes up as soon as you power on. That IS NOT a boot animation, it is the splash screen and part of the kernel. You can not change this(for now).

I made the mistake of pasting a boot animation in a random folder during a move of a few different files and forgot to move it to its proper place. I forget the exact folder it was in but it wasn't the right one(s) and it caused my animations in /system/media to stop working. So be careful. Make sure everything is named right, with the right permissions(rw-r-r), and in the right place, /system/media.

You should not have to deal with /carrier/cust after deleting the ugly yellow spark anis. All other boots and shut downs go in /system/media.

There seemed to be a ton of confusion on this and I am by no means an expert, if anyone has anything to add, feel free. I also had to write this up on Tapatalk so, sorry for that.
[Sprint LG G3] I-IoLLoW:
The boot sounds are also found in system/media/audio/ui just like on my lg optimus g. I deleted the carrier/cust/poweron and then replaced the ogg files in the audio/ui folder for my doctor who bootani. ;)

Also the phone will boot up slower with bigger files in the bootanimation however the biggest difference is in how the bootanimation is made. What I mean specifically is the desc.txt in the bootani. Usually it looks something like

2560 1440 30

p 1 0 part0

p 1 0 part1

Top line is the resolution and fps.

second and third lines are telling it which folder to play and how(play once or loop until phone boots, etc)

BUT if the desc.txt has a 'c' instead of a 'p' before the second or third line, it forces the bootanimation to play thru its entirety before going to the home/lockscreen. So the desc.txt file above on a long bootani, the bootani would actually get cut off if it were longer than the time it takes to boot. ;)

That's more in depth then you probably need to know unless you're making your own bootanimations(which there are already

numerous guides on xda to help you do so) but thought I'd just add it for good measure. ;)
[Sprint LG G3] dk2463:
My cust/carrier/poweron amd poweroff folders are empty. I do see the various carrier animations in the /system/media folder though. Should we be able to simply rename the bootanimation_sprint.zip and the shutdownanimation_sprint.zip to *.bak?

Hi

I own a rooted galaxy s3 phone running stock OS 4.3 jelly bean. I have installed xposed installer on my phone. I want to factory reset my phone now. Can I do it directly without uninstalling xposed apllication. Or am i required to use the uninstall framework option first which is found on opening xposed application.I have done factory reset many a times before prior to installing xposed. But now I am little concerned about xposed application cos I think that can cause my handset go faulty if I dont remove it properly. Please help me out with this.

Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] NOOK!E:
Yes, you can safely do a factory reset without uninstalling the Xposed application. A

full

factory reset will merely reset everything, and therefore remove the Xposed framework safely without causing any damage.

Be sure that you use the recovery mode method to reset, though - don't factory reset while your phone is on (like from the settings menu), as that will not restore

everything

to stock, it will just erase the data itself.
[General Questions and Answers] maddyn73:

For the record, some phones don't have recoveries. The GravityBox module of Xposed has an option to add Recovery rebooting to the power menu. If that option just results in restarting your phone as usual then you may not have a recovery.

Correct.

If your phone happens not to have a recovery, I'd highly recommend ClockworkMod. It works great, is very reliable, and has a lot of options.
