[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] floepie:
Just curious if this is working for anyone. It didn't seem to work for changing the splash screen to the black HTC on my aku 2.3.1 ROM. I don't think I would try this on a complete ROM upgrade.

I'm wondering if this is due to Vista or the aku...

Well, it seems these attempts should be avoided as related by others....
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] kta:
I could not install Jesterz AKU2.2 on Vista yesterday. Kept giving me Error [260], i.e. the upgrade tool was losing connection with the device. Worked fine on XP pro this morning.

It could be related to the Mobile Device Center that replaces Activesync.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] cr0ssy:
tried a downgrade yesterday evening on vista and it smashed my phone.

so i don't recommend it you can't get a "good enough" connection in bootloader from windows vista to the phone and active sync is not working anyway so that crap will be away by this evening. It seems to me vista is not yet ready. Good enough means that it shows on the phone that USB sign in the bootloader but the flash utility can't get a connection
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] kta:
cr0ssy, that's exactly what happened to me. In the bootloader I get the USB sign but the upgrade tool won't recognise the device. What I noticed was that Vista uses a different driver than XP. This new driver is what could be causing the problem.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] cr0ssy:
hm maybe the old driver works on windows vista, too if just don't let it install automatically.

did you get the phone back to work?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] floepie:
I wonder if this has something to do with a move from NDIS- to a serial-based connection in Vista....
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] kta:
When in bootloader Vista recognises the device as Generic NDIS.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] cr0ssy:
is yours back working kta? if, did you just put xp back on your computer and reflashed it in the bootloader? (or other computer)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] kta:
Yes I then managed to flash the ROM from bootloader on another PC running windows xp.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] cr0ssy:
mh did you flash then with the usual boot utility? is it possible to flash these customized roms which have a upgraderom.bat or something like that in bootloader mode? (don't want to expermient now that its not really working anymore)

sorry for getting a little bit offtopic
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] koven:
managed to upgrade without a problem on vista
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] cr0ssy:
which rom did you use and did you manage to install active sync?

phone is back working :> thanks kta
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] kta:
Yesterday I tried flashing my friend's Magician ROM on his Vista and had the same problem and had to use an XP laptop to flash. The upgrade utility program and others based on it (MaUpgradeUTNoID, etc.) seem to have a problem working with the new vista drivers.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] Mentes:
without the beta Mobile Device Center, which you should downlad from MS, you can just access in explorer mode to your device, but you can not install anything to you device from vista. Just download the Mobile Device Center for Vista from the MS Page.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] kta:
I have the Mobile Device Center installed and still have this problem.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] Jesterz:
the ROM upgrade tools do NOT work on vista (yet) there are several calls open with Microsoft to get this fixed, however I don't think it will be fixed in a few days seeing the speed of Microsoft......

For now, only update using windows xp
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] liuyang:
does the upgrade tools work on WinXP X64 edition?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] Jesterz:
They should as it has 32bit comp. however I havent tested it, so I'm not fully sure.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orthok:
I have a SM-G900AZ rooted stock Rom 4.4.2 on the AT&T network (Cricket). The phone has tethering options removed from the settings screen in the Rom, and adding "dun" to APN settings has not allowed foxfi or PDAnet to work with the response "Mobile Hotspots not supported".

Are there Roms out there that will enable native or app tethering on this network?

Bump
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ruccarucca:
I'm noticing that after having the M8 since release date that the screen is starting to separate from the body in the lower right corner. you can't notice it but of you push on that area slightly firmer than you normally would you can feel it bend and flex as though its no longer connected to the body. I've had it in a case and have dropped it maybe twice from a small distance to carpet. something you should keep an eye out for.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] knine1019:
Never dropped

HTC want me to secure $299 with a credit card so they can have the option to tell me it was my fault, really... I asked if they would give the option to get my phone back and they said no. My reply was, why would I buy this phone again knowing it has this issue.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Rushing:
That sucks.., what happened to the customer is always right? Just kidding they will probably say you took the phone apart to try mess with its guts.

Hello every1,

I wishes a Happy New Year to everyone on the forum.

Has anybody tried file transfer via bluetooth on a computer that running Vista.

I can send and receive file via bluetooth on Window XP but I cannot on Vista all I get is that the pda does not support file transfer.

Can somebody help me in solving this problem please.

I've lost everything after accepting system update this morning. The only thing I can boot into is TWRP recovery. All my backups are gone, CPU won't detect my phone when plugged into usb. Hard reset does nothing but takes me to twrp. Someone please help. Phone is rooted running stock rom.

Same issue except I cant get in to TWRP. I get the stock factory reset screen but when I hit the power button to confirm it just restarts and gives me a black screen (screen is lit up though). I try to get into download mode by vol up + plug in usb and get the same thing, black lit screen. Is my phone completely bricked?

Try this:

1. In TWRP go to "Terminal Command" if you see something that looks like you have to select a file folder, just hit "Select" at the bottom. If you don't see the file folder then touch the middle icon at the bottom of the screen. Should make sense when you see it.

2. Once in terminal command type: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota, then press Enter

3. Then type: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc, Hit enter

*Note that the only difference between the two is the very last part from "fota" to "misc"

4. Reboot phone

Hope this helps!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unichord:
Hi everybody,

I'm fairly new to the android world and I don't know a lot about modding. I flashed Cloudyg3 1.3 mod about a month ago and everything went well, but today I wanted to upgrade to 2.0, so I entered in recovery mode using Autorec, as usual, to backup my phone. The backup was ok, then I rebooted my phone and it stuck to security error. I didn't flash anything yet, so I really don't know what may have possibly caused this error.

I even tried to enter recovery mode again to wipe data, dalvik, etc, but when I reboot I still get this error.

Any help?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unichord:
I solved wiping everything but internal storage, and then using ADB Sideload to flash the CloudyG3 ROM.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wulsic:
[MENTION=6033743]Unichord[/MENTION] good to hear that you had fixed your problem, the security error is most time that if you remove or change files that it shows security error, its implented in the kernel ony I believe not in the rom.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unichord:
I understand that, if I was flashing a rom, or kernel or everything else I would be fine with it (maybe I would have done something wrong), the problem is that it showed up just after a backup! I really don't understand why it did happen.

Thank you anyway for the info
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mina.ise:
Ancient problem: Facebook messages deleted. Not archived. I know these can't be restored.

BUT an idea popped to my mind. If the conversation took place in the Facebook Messenger app might there be an archive of a sort in the phone (Samsung S7560 Galaxy TREND) storage somewhere? And can it be accessed? I imagine it's not an easy task and most likely requires a computer and copying all of the contents of the phone etc. but I really want to give it a shot.

I must add that I am not programmer or developer so if you have any ideas or suggestions describe them like you would describe it to your grandpa.

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unmark:
Hello,

I've been searching through the forums but I cannot find anyone with the same problem as me, here it goes:

I copied a mp3 file onto the ringtones folder, and then I can select it to be used as my ringtone. As I do not want to listen this when I'm listening music, I've aded a .nomedia file to the ringtones folder. Then, the Play Music app does not shows anymore this ringtone. This is what I expected.

Later, when I've received a call, the ringtone I've selected did not sound, instead the phone ringed with the standard "Triton" ringtone. Went to sound settings, and my custom ringtone is not there.

Removing the .nomedia file from the "Ringtones" folder, makes the custom ringtone appear again on "ringtone selection" options.

I did this many times on my old Galaxy Nexus phone without troubles, but It's not working on my N5, Do you know if this is a common issue, or I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Try an .ogg instead. If that doesn't work, move the .ogg to /system/media/audio/ringtones
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unmark:
I've added .ogg file at Ringtones on "sdcard", and did not show.

The next thing was copy the file to /system/media/audio/ringtones with es file explorer and restarted the phone before checking. No luck neither.

Removing the .nomedia file from the "sdcard" folder, I can select the ringtone again at settings. Seems that somehow the .nomedia is also read by "settings"
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
.nomedia is global. Put it in a folder and android assumes no media.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eduardmc:
I used to have it at 100% now doing 50%. does it really affect battery?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Adjusting the brightness in general does affect battery life. Although I'm not sure how much adjusting the %, while still using the "Auto" feature will work out. My thought on adjusting the % (while still using Auto) is not so much about battery life, but rather to have some more customization on how bright you like the screen. Many folks will criticize that Auto brightness algorithms are often insufficient and too bright or too dark for the given situations.

If battery life is your concern, I would suggest ditching "Auto" altogether. Reason being, being on Auto constantly polls the light sensor which in itself uses some battery

I haven't experimented with this phone, in particular. But on a previous device, I found anecdotally that turning off Auto and manually having it set to 40% brightness increased the battery life by around 30-40%. Of course, you mileage will vary, and it will depend on how you use your phone and other factors; as well as what brightness level you prefer.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmyth:
I've always manually adjusted autobrightness and generally leave it set at around 40% and adjusting when I need to, which typically isnt a great deal each day. Very rarely go anywhere near 100% brightness. It may be worth experiementing and monitoring your battery life for auto and manual over say a week to see the results.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruce7373:
I was under the impression that the slider position was irrelevant if Auto was selected. So setting the slider on Auto sets the upper limit the algorithm uses?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Your second point seems to be the case, yes.

You will notice even if "Auto" is selected, moving the slider back and forth will make the screen dimmer/brighter for the given ambient lighting condition.

On older devices, your first point was true. Selecting one would override the other. If I remember properly, manually selecting a brightness level would deselect the "Auto" feature.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaseman:
My understanding has always been that the slider sets the MAX brightness the screen will go up to when set to auto. So if you put it on 50% and go outside in bright sunlight the screen will only go up to 50% which may not be enough. I set mine on 100% and that way if I am in direct sun the screen will go as high as it can and still go down as low as is needed when in a dark room. I will also say that of all the phones I have ever owned this one has the best auto brightness implementation of them all as a stock feature.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Badelhas:
That's what I thought but it's the opposite! From HTC website: "With the*Automatic brightness*option selected, drag the slider to set the maximum brightness level.*This sets a LIMIT on how bright the screen will be when*Automatic brightness*is selected"

Source: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/howto/465124.html

This means that it will only affect the lowest brightness level, not the highest, meaning you can have it a 0% and it will always go to maximum brightness when in direct sunlight. I've tested this and can confirm it's empirically true.

I got a new phone (LG G3 F400K) and it's been a while since I booted my P920. So, I decided to make use of it. It is running NamelessROM by troopii. Here's the thing, everything is working fine except the digitizer. I'm on first run setup, and USB Debugging is disabled. How do I make use of it?
[LG Optimus 3D] maikeru-chan:
bump. Anyone? I don't want to waste such a great phone.
[LG Optimus 3D] troopii:
didnt used my o3d along time. and booted it today the first time...

then the shock, the part where the telefon, contacts, sms etc cant touched anymore.

my workaround for this problem, namless rom has rotation on to all activites. so if a ui element is in the death space, i just rotate it 180degrees

when i pluged my phone with fresh install of namless it asked me to enable usb debugging for that pc.

but that popup after passing the firstlaunch activity. and there you have to accept the messasge by touch too. you are out of luck sorry

i would try to replace the digitzer
[LG Optimus 3D] maikeru-chan:
The digitizer is completely dead. Back then the glass only had a very big crack. The digitizer was still completely pefrct but when we got it for repair, the guy who "repaired" it shattered the glass in half. And the digitizer is completely dead now. The pic of the O3D I attached in the OP actually has no glass in there. I remove the glass permanently so that was the screen naked. It seems this phone has no hope unless I get a new digitizer. Sadly, the digitizer is not available in where I currently live, so I have to order it online. But I'm only 15 and I have no credit card. Such a waste. Thanks for the tip troopii! :)

I'll just stick with my G3.
[LG Optimus 3D] Warren488:
there is a computer application i used called android control that controlled the phone from the computer, however i think you may need adb enabled. pretty sure theres an xda thread for it so u should probably visit there.
[LG Optimus 3D] maikeru-chan:
I saw that but to enable adb, you must edit a prop file in the flashable zip. I'm not that good with those things though.

I'll try someday.

I upload later a boot.img with adb unsecure then it works. Sorry i didnt thought earlier about.

[LG Optimus 3D] troopii:
I dont know. I downloaded the boot.img 2times and it worked two times.

Try to flash the kernel with fastboot.
