[Sprint LG G2] midskool:
Hi I am unable to download or update any apps from Google Play Store.

This problem occurred when I updated my LG G2 Sprint LS-980 to Stock Kitkat 4.4.2 From Stock 4.2.2.

The progress of download does show up in notification bar but it just gets stuck there.

I've tried clearing data/cache of playstore,google play services,google services framework and Downloads but this couldn't help it.

I've also remove the Google Play Account , Reboot and then put my Google Play ID but this didn't work either.

Lastly I tried to install a latest google play apk version 4.9.13 (I guess it's latest) but the problem is still there. Cannot download or update any applications from Google Play.

Please help me out guys !! :(

P.S : It was working fine with 4.2.2 stock rom with root. Also I am only using WiFi to download/update. I don't have a mobile data connection or I would've tried that out too.
[Sprint LG G2] KB112:
Turn off Wi-Fi and then turn back on. Or... Look for the actual app that is downloading at the current moment. Cancel the download of that one app, then the rest will begin to download.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drrunnel:
Sad noob here.

Current Status:

Once rooted device (now recovery mode goes to TWRP)

No longer have su privaleges

No wifi (bad wpa_supplicant file)

SuperSU in a messed up state (says it is installed but only the .apk is visible in /system/app - nothing from the apps view on the tablet (i.e. the "gui")

Device Details:

Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7"

SM-T230NU

Marvell PXA1088

Android Version 4.4.2

Build date August 2014

What I was trying to do:

Enable ad hoc networking capability

What I did:

Rooted Tablet via http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55581754&postcount=4

This worked GREAT btw, thanks for those who worked on that solution

Follow steps to enable ad hoc capability via: http://androidtablethacks.com/android-tablet-hacks/how-to-enable-adhoc-wifi-on-android-tablets/

This didn't appear to work so I successfully tried the recovery steps

THEN I MESSED UP: I must have stomped on my original wpa_supplicant file at some point because after the initial successful recovery I have been unable to turn wifi on (nevermind ad hoc)

The way I see it, without both su permissions and wifi I'm dead in the water. I can't download SuperSU without wifi, when I download the SuperSU.apk to my PC and try to use ADB to install it it does not work because I do not have su permissions.

PLEASE tell me I am wrong and you have a solution you can share.

Thanks in advance for any help offered.

You might try to download the super zip "update" file with PC put it on the micro SD card . with the card in tablet use "my files" or you chosen file explorer and move the zip to internal memory and then boot to recovery and flash it.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drrunnel:
<Resolved> Thanks

I ended up downloading firmware from Sammobile and flashed it using Odin. Device is not the way I got it from the factory, but wifi works now. Much better situation than I was in earlier.

Thanks for your response mrmazak!

Caio!

Edit your post and delete the imei number! Someone can forge it!
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
@op

Coz ur s-on u will need to flash the boot.img straight after flashing a rom. Boot.img is inside the rom zip. So steps are -

1) Boot recovery

2) Full wipe

3) Flash rom (and gapps if using aosp roms)

4) Boot straight into fastboot

5) Flash boot.img

6) Reboot

Command for flashing boot.img is -

fastboot flash boot boot.img

I don't have that issue. SMS uses 160 characters + destination that would normally be idle.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blaalad12:
Hey guys, Iam not 100% which apps are considered bloatware but i know that any app that is... i would like deleted/disabled at least!

Dont suppose anyone fancy's putting together a list of apps that are safe to delete/uninstall ? Iam reluctant to go disabling suspected apps myself incase i mess up the phones performance or incase they are needed for other apps to function properly so a compiled list would be awesome
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theonecallednick:
all the apps which comes pre loader with your phone which is installed by your device manufacture are bloatware apps, you can delete all the bloatware apps you want like fb, google+, maps, news and weather, sociallife, play games....
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paysen:
This is my first Sony phone. Coming from Nexus devices and LG G2 - it's amazing that you can delete all preloaded apps.. I had the S4 for a week, those bloatware apps were the hell. And if you unlock the bootloader you can say goodbye to the efuse.. So I got the G2. Had bloatware, too, you could only deactivate them but not delete them. However, it was better than the s4, but not as great as the Nexus devices or the Sony Xperia Z3.

Love Sony's attitude towards this.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chefproll:
In fact, that's what you CANNOT do with a bunch of that bloatware apps if you didn't obtain root. :/
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istrikerx:
You can't delete all the apps sadly. Most can be disabled which is great, but What's New will always stick out in your face everytime you try to swipe up for google now.

Would this not rely on being rooted? Can't say many people will want to be rooted with the damage it does to the Camera.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagrim1:
Yup it does, so for now uninstalling those possible and disabling the others possible is the only option...
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istrikerx:
Requires root, which stops me from using banking apps, so it's a no-go unfortunately.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3Shirts:
You can disable What's New without root.

First you need to connect with ADB Debugging:

1) In Settings, go to 'Developer options' - If you don't have that, go into 'About phone' and tap on the build number a bunch of times until it tells you you are a developer. Now you have the Developer options menu.

2) In there, tick the USB Debugging option

3) Connect the phone to the PC and install the ADB driver. The phone will ask if you trust that pc, say yes (tick the box if you want it to remember that PC)

Now you have ADB access, do this:

1) type adb devices to start adb and check your device is found

2) type adb shell

3) type pm block com.sonymobile.advancedwidget.entrance

4) type reboot

Your phone will restart and What's New will be disabled! If you want it back, just repeat the process changing block to unblock in step 3.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] BA_Flash_GOD:
I have the option to trade one of my NIB BAs straight up for a NIB Wizard (cingular 8125), Threw up the hermes as well to see. I'd like to hear some suggestions from you folks that have used both, or just want to pop in their two cents. Would be greatly appreciated my brothas.

Problem I have with the sx66 it's shear size and weight. I won't be using edge, or any bells and whistles just as a playtoy basically to demo. So the BA actually thinner it appears but packs on the weight?

(US Americanas)

8125===== 4.25" x 2.28" x 0.93" == 5.64 oz-wt

8525===== 4.43" x 2.28" x 0.86" == 6.1 oz-wt

sx66===== 4.92" x 2.83" x 0.75" == 7.41 oz-wt

(Rest of world :P)

8125===== 108 x 58 x 24 mm == 160 g

8525===== 113 x 58 x 22 mm == 176 g

sx66===== 125 x 71 x 18 mm == 210 g

Hopefully nobody jumps my case for this question! (if this is in the 'wrong area' to ask, then direct me to the right one please.) haha :D
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] lukecheng:
BA

I've been a BA user for one year. Last Week, one of my friend went to my home and showed off his Wizard(Cingular 8125). My idea is,

Disadvantage,

a. Wizard runs so slow even you over clocking it. Multi-process will make your device significant lag. Skype w/ wifi, forget it. Ti's 200Mhz micro processor is the key point. Evan BA does not equiped with the lastest version of Intel's micro processor, it's still faster than Wizard.

b. 2.8" scrren is not as big as I espected.

Advantage,

More portable, more slim, light weight, fancy side-sliding qwerty keyboard. Long battery life.

Your Choice, Sir
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] iksiksiks:
Hi, i have viewed a Wizard one week ago from my friend, very small & cute to view, i don't have testet at all it's performance....but the same night i decide to buy one XDA like the wizard and start to read this forum from one part to other, and the final impression is that BA is better than Wizard for the performance of it's Xscale @ 400 mhz, more people write that his Wizard's is too much slow on multitasking application, and this make me mad, i come from Symbian S60 smathphone (nokia 6600) that have a 100Mhz ARM cpu and i don't want a texas instrument dual core cpu that seems to be slower than my old s60 phone :rolleyes:

then i have buy a BA from Ebay (it's on the way of my home)...first for performance and second for the bigger screen and third for his tiny keyboard

perryh1: Did you install on a Rogers Note 4? 910W8? I'd love a step by step guide on getting this to work. I got a GearVR but not working on the Rogers phone. I'm a bit of a newb when it comes to this stuff. So far I know I need to:

Root the phone (done, using ODIN and the latest version root from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55865442&postcount=3 )

Now I see you guys mentioned DK3 (Dynamic Kat 3) and the AEL Kernel.

For the AEL Kernel, I only found this site to download it from: http://echoerom.com/galaxy-note-4-sm-n910-kernel/

However it doesn't have the Canadian model number listed. Afraid of bricking my phone so I'm wondering where to get the right kernel or to see if the one listed there works?

Okay, one step further. Here are my details now:

Mode number: SM-N910W8

Baseband version: N910W8VLU1ANJ3

Kernel version: 3.10.5-AELKernel-v5.2

What's next? I assumed that it would allow me to automatically download the VR software to my Note 4... no? Do I need to manually install it? If so, from where do I get it?
[Samsung Gear VR] sandman7793:
Just plug phone in gear vr ,put on your head once, then remove from head, pull phone follow the steps it walls you thru.
[Samsung Gear VR] InsuredApple:
Done that... it downloads a small file.... then says it is done... and when I put the phone back in the VR, I get the same message (remove device and install software)... not sure what is going on. Thoughts?

It's just this over and over...
[Samsung Gear VR] sandman7793:
Ok so have you installed a rom? Because that means you haven't updated to the newest version of your firmware yet.

You need do some different things.

Odin your phone with the newest firmware from sammobile. Then reroot, install TWRP, install DK 4.0 (because it includes VRwizardsetup.apk) and immediately flash AEL kernel afterwards since your on Canadian phone, so it will boot.

Then plug phone into VR and do setup again and it will work.
[Samsung Gear VR] aeroxy:
Oh very cool. Have someone experiment with Galaxy S6? I tried a few ROMs and none of them works with Gear VR.
[Samsung Gear VR] cire27rn:
Geat vr

Works mine though
[Samsung Gear VR] sandman7793:
I have. I'm on a note 4 device with s6 rom. I got gear vr working with a custom kernel but the eyes are slightly off by about a quarter inch. DPI changer door correct this issue either. Oculus home will work fine, so you can purchase the apps not available on note 4 and then restore from s6 and the games will become available.

I would like to get it working on s6 rom though, because I like the s6 styling.
[Samsung Gear VR] aeroxy:
Unfortunately I experimented with some deodexed ROMs and none of them works with Gear VR. Only Odexed ROMs works with Gear VR, and only Stock works with it flawlessly.

I use a Samsung S6 G920F Dual-SIM version.
[Samsung Gear VR] sandman7793:
I'm sorry but I have to totally disagree. I've owned the gear vr since the day it was released and I've been on deodexed rom since day one. It's worked flawless when on kitkat with SE changer and then on lollipop with a 3rd party kernel.

Now I'm just working towards getting it to work on a note 4 running s6 rom.

It all just comes down to how much time your willing to invest.
[Samsung Gear VR] aeroxy:
Hey I don't want to be rude, but you do realize Note 4 and S6 are two different platforms right? They even have different architectures especially when it comes to processors. This means the kernels they run on are completely different when it comes to communications with the hardware. Also the Gear VR for Note 4 and the Gear VR for S6 are different too. It's all good you have the Note 4 working.

I have invested 8 hours on S6 with Gear VR last night. It looks like the only method to get it to work with Gear VR is to use Titanium backup to freeze everything from a stock (after running Gear VR) and then recovery to a deodex ROM like Acadia with a 3rd party kernel. Even so would result at occasional black screen after plugging into Gear VR.
[Samsung Gear VR] sandman7793:
Lol. Sorry. Didn't mean to come off rude or a know it all. I understand there 2 different hardware and software interations. I didn't even realise what phone you was on. I just popped in and replied at work, so wasn't even paying attention.

Edit: actually you said you was on the s6 but I blindly read past that.

vr software

Is there a program for android that splits my screen so I can web and stream media with my vr headset?
[Samsung Gear VR] sandman7793:
I've answered this problem already earlier in this thread for the note 4. Custom roms on note 4 need a aftermarket kernel. One that sets SE policy to permissive.

---------- Post added at 09:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 PM ----------

You need to be a little clearer in what your looking for. Fulldive from play store will let you Web surf, but it's still in beta, so it's not perfect.

On the stream media part, no luck on Netflix, hulu or the likes. But you can watch YouTube videos with Fulldive as well, but not near perfect. Now if kodi would work correctly we would have something.

To use Fulldive easily you need root. You freeze gear vr service with titanium back up.

If your on att then you can tuck phone under USB but then you need a magnet on side of phone/gear vr to select things.
[Samsung Gear VR] GreenOmega:
The GearVR works with my SM-N910G on the DrKetan ROM (tested on version L9), no separate kernel installed. Initially I had eye-separation problems, which may explain the "two screens" issue. Switching the device ID back to "N4 (N910G)" fixed it (using the "Dr.Ketan Device ID changer" app that comes with the ROM).

Hello everyone,

I am wondering if anyone has used this unit.

It can be found on autodvdgps(dot)com, then under the Mazda navigation section. It should be the first option you see. Sorry to by-pass the external link rule for us noobs, but I wanted anyone that wanted to help to be able to see the unit I am talking about.

I have been interested in buying a unit from these guys for a while now, but have never been crazy about the user interfaces. But since this one uses Android 4.0 the interface and apps should be great. Also, the GPS will be Googlemaps so I won't have to worry about maps being crap.

The thing is about $460. Do you all think the quality control will be at least decent?

Thank you for your help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabarladjabarlj:
I have one in my Jeep WJ.

Works but has quirks. Did not work with my factory amplifier. Bought aftermarket amplifier and it works now but I have high pitch sound matching revs from rear speakers.

Rear view camera does not work with the head unit.

Steering wheel commands does not work, although it has teach function and it should.

Sometimes it freezes.

FM frequency is 0.000000 when starting the jeep. I tap search and it jumps to 87.5 and starts search. Then it works after, but it is annoying to have to do this every time I start up the jeep.

And so on...

But it works in general. Navigation works.

If I knew then what I know now about this product, I would not have bought it.

Cheers!
