[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] untogether:
Thanks for the advice, all. The news isn't great - I turned the phone off while I put it in a bag of rice last night, it seemed to lower the amount of water in the lens but not remove it completely. Today it's behaving very erratically - the power button doesn't work, for one. I attached through adb and shut it down but the damn thing just starts up again immediately. So my current best plan is to put it back in some rice and wait for the battery to die out.

So, I'll see what happens after that, but I might have to get it replaced. And Sony might not let me because of water damage. Before anyone asks: yes, I checked 100x that the seals were closed tightly before putting the phone in the water!

It's definitely faulty, return it ASAP.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dooms87:
Hi All quick question. I'm planning on rooting my sisters Galaxy note 3 and installing this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2787627. She uses her phone for business and does not want me to proceed until i am able to back up all her text messages. Could anyone please provide me some direction on how to best do this ? I use a HTC one and backing up sms/mms has always caused a problem with my rom or just didn't work correctly so i don't know how that will all behave on a Samsung phone. Also If this is not possible is there a way to export the text messages to a Email or word document ? I'd really appreciate any support you'd be helping me out immensely since my sister will stop nagging me to do this :D

I've just unlocked the bootloader on my XT1032 (Moto G). I tried flashing custom recovery's but non of them work. as soon as i boot into recovery i get broken screen effect. How can i get the custom recovery to work?

Im on 4.4.4 if that helps

Here's a video showing what happens:

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RapDroid:
Fixed It :)

For anyone else with this problem, i found the solution

Basically if you have a moto g that came with android 4.4.4 installed from the factory, you will run into a problem where most recoveries don't work.

I have found a recovery that works for me, it's 6.57.9 PhilZ Touch CWM Advanced Edition which can be downloaded here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2639583

[Ornate TrueSmart] Burke1980:
I have been getting very poor signal reception on my WIFI & Bluetooth. It seems the wires through the band are frayed similar to other pictures I have seen of peoples Omate.

I am like the very many and have had no luck in getting a response from Omate in regards to getting this repaired and assume even if I was to send this off to them it would take months to even receive it back.

I was hoping maybe someone on here has taken the plunge and made the repairs themselves and if so do they have any direction how to do it?

Does anybody know the gauge of the wire or socket?

Any input or advice anyone has would be greatly appreciated

Dear all,

Please I have a problem with my storage card (MMC Card) since I got it, it works good, but sometimes it is not visible and I must restart my PDA2k to relocate it again, could anybody tell me what it may the problem and how may I resolve it...

BTW I have installed many versions of Windows (Helmi and Xplode) and still the same, so I don't think it is a Windows problem

Thanks all for that amazing
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] kerio:
Just take card out and in instead of softreset...

I know its not a solution but its faster:)

If you got your card from E-bay or somwhere it might not be a reputable make or a fake? sometimes these cards have shorter contacts and they sometime disconnect, try a different card with longer contacts?

Good Luck

It depends on the coverage, I know mine will work when I'm right next to a tower. But at home with barely any service it'll drop the data.

I have a ATT Samsung Galaxy S3, running Android 4.2.2. I was putting Clockwork on and when I got done and rebooted system, nothing. It vibrates once and the words Samsung comes up then total black screen. Bootloader and downloader still work fine. I formatted, put a rom back on but the same thing happens. It just seems like there is a missing file that is stopping it from continuing to start up. Can someone give me some guidance. I jailbroke my phone 2 years ago so I am very rusty. Thanks for the help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Clear data, dalvik, and cache in recovery, then reboot.

WARNING: doing this will wipe your data off the phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tepeee:
cleared both, then even formatted. Like I said before, when I turn it on it vibrates, then the Samsung (in white) comes up then it goes to the black screen and stays there. Like its getting hung up. All happened after rebooting system in clockwork.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
What ROM was on your phone. You mentioned 4.2.2 but I don't think ATT released a 4.2.2 ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tepeee:
I had a cyanogen mod on couldn't tell you which one exactly. My android version was the 4.2.2
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tepeee:
what do you think of turning it back to stock, not that I want too?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
You need to know which bootloader was on your phone before trying to restore to stock. The bootloader will determine how to restore the stock ROM.

First of all, boot into download mode and tell me what it says on the screen.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tepeee:
actually I had both twrp and clockwork both on there. Here is what is says on a start up downloader screen: A custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications.

If you want to download a custom OS, press the volume up key.

Otherwise, press the volume down key to cancel.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrrocketdog:
if you have terminal emulator on your phone , type in

getprop ro.bootloader (you need the space) and press enter. this will tell you your bootloader version.

err on the side of kindness
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Either do what Mrrocketdog suggested or go past the warning message to the download mode.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrrocketdog:
oooopps! forgot about going past warning message. been a very long long time since been there. :thumbup:

I never put emulator on my phone. Here is what I just did, I followed the Cyanogen d2lte to the T. Rebooted and now it is stuck on the Samsung GalaxySlll screen with the little blue android. I flashed both files thru my recovery. Again, everything started after I rebooted my system for the first time after installing the clockwork mod
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tepeee:
I have no idea, but jst a though. Would it help to go to advanced, mounts and storage, in clockwork and format everything except my sd card?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tepeee:
bootloader is clockwork v6.0.4.7
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
CWM is the recovery, not the bootloader.

Boot to recovery. Format system, cache, data, flash cm11, reboot
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tepeee:
thanks for being patient with me. i will try and let you know

. this site would be nothing without people like you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tepeee:
here is what i did,(1) wipe dalvik and cache. (2) reboot(3)apply cynaogen bootloader update. (4) in this step it tried rebooting to recovery and not before applying cm11. when i reboot the system it gets stuck on the samsung galaxyiii with the blue android guy, the screen gets stuck right before it would boot to the cynagogen screen. again all my problems started when i added clockwork mod and rebooted. at that time i already had twrp. what would i have to do to remove clockwork mod or just help me just start from the begining drawing board. thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
You need to wipe data, cache, dalvik, mount system, format system, install CM11, reboot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tepeee:
audit, i did exactly what you said and nothing the same results. stuck on the samsung blue android screen.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
In recovery, go to advanced and format data, system, and data. Then go to advanced and wipe dalvik. Now install CM11, mount the system, and reboot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tepeee:
Doin need to re-install the boot loader update for cm11 again before putting cm11 on my phone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
CWM is a custom recovery for flashing ROMs and wiping partitions. Your bootloader is what allows the phone to boot the ROM.

There is no need to do anything with the bootloader from what I can tell.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tepeee:
One more thing after I do that and before I reboot I get this message, Root access is missing root device.this can or be undone. Do click yes or no?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Select yes to get root access.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tepeee:
Audit, you are the man. For everyone out there I wanted to say what I did thanks to Audit. 1)booted into recovery

2)mounts/storage

3)formatted all three, system,data,cache

4)wiped dalvik and cache

5)installed cm11

Bingo, it worked.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tepeee:
Compared to the pain. I have been thru the past 3 days, I still have one small problem. I downloaded gapps 4.4.4 but nothing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
What do you mean by nothing?

With CM11 on your phone, are you able to make calls, text, or connect to the data network?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tepeee:
Everything is back to normal. I dowliaded gapps,went thru the step of setting up my Google account, but I got no playstore icon.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tepeee:
I was going to uninstall it and reinstall it but its not there. Is gapps 4.4.4 the right version for cm11?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
You need to install Gapps to have Playstore, email, etc.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tepeee:
Audit, thanks for your patience and putting up with my ignorance. Everything is up and running. Love the 4.4.4. One more question though, when adding nightlies, do you need to wipe first?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
As long as you are flashing nightlies of the same ROM, no need to wipe. Just download the nightly, boot to recovery, and flash.

To be safe, create a nandroid backup, flash the nightly, test it out. If the nightly is flaky, restore the backup. If you restore the data from your backup, it will replace the existing data on your phone, including text messages, newly installed apps, etc.

We're all here to help each other.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tepeee:
Audit I spoke too soon. I was at home on wifi. When I left my house, off wifi I couldn't connect to the Internet. I can make calls send texts but no Internet. I get this error message, the webpage at Google address could not be loaded because net error address unreachable. And ideas what's wrong?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Is the APN correctly set in the phone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tepeee:
There is nothing under apn accept a plus sign to add. So I have to manually type all that info in or is there a easier way?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Manually adding the APN will be required if it isn't automatically added when you insert the sim or it does not appear after searching for networks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tepeee:
I have tried manually typing in the apn info then clicked saved. Doesn't look like it saved anything and Internet is still not working.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
You're still running CM11?

Are you rooted?

Did it find the ATT network?

What network mode is set on your phone? Try 3g and 2g.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tepeee:
Again I apologize for ignorance on the terminology. I thought once you put a custom rom on you were rooted? The only thing I have added was cm11 and gapps.
[HTC One E8] Aaron.KC:
As a parent I find my kids constantly swiping my device. This is where Kid Mode, preloaded on the HTC One E8, comes in handy. Take note that most of the content on this app is geared towards younger children. When you open the app for the first time it has you build a profile for your child. This includes selecting apps your child is allowed to play. Kid Mode also limits access from visiting the play store or random internet sites. It also keeps them from downloading additional games that might be advertised in the approved apps.

View attachment 2956936

Kid Mode also comes pre-loaded with an audio book (The Three Little Pigs), educational videos, a paint suite and video mail (This is a premium feature). While only one book is unlocked you are able to purchase additional books through the parent’s dashboard. Once nice part of the children’s book is the ability to save your own recording that will play back to your child. As for the videos most are shows that you would find on PBS kids. These are streamed over the internet so you must have data access to watch them.

View attachment 2956938

This screen shot shows the dashboard once your are in the app.

View attachment 2956939

The above screen shot shows what the eBook looks like. The image of the father / daughter is a video of them reading the book. This can be recorded over with your own video reading of the book.

The premium version is based on a monthly subscriptions model. The premium subscription gives you access to all of their educational apps and books, but it is not required to use this app. Overall I would recommend any parent with a young child to try out Kid Mode.

Until next time,

Aaron

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hovo:
Hi all

So I'm doing step 1 of this guide but I seem to be having problems..

I did install the ADB drivers on my comp, installed SDK, and set the directories in PATH. ADB is turned on in the Kindle. But when I try to do the backup commands, I get a "remote object xxxxxxxxxxx does not exist"

Anyone have any idea what's going on here? I appreciate your help!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hovo:
Any ideas? :(
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rushead:
I think you're on the wrong partition...
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hovo:
What do you mean? Sorry, I'm total noob with adb in general (and I just got the Kindle like a couple weeks ago :P)

I should add that when I do the first command the Kindle responds to it (as in the screen turns on when I send the command). Don't know if that helps you.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rushead:
You need to pull from the correct directory. I think that's your only problem.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hovo:
Thanks for your response.

How do I pull from the right directory? I'm using the code from the thread that's apparently supposed to work for everyone, don't know what's going wrong on my end :s
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rushead:
Are you rooted? Did you allow adb on the Kindle? Are you running as administrator in windows?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hovo:
Yeah I'm rooted (I have root access on the phone but no superuser app ever popped up when I rooted), adb is on in the Kindle, and I am running cmd as admin. :s
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
You can't run cmd as an Admin. You have to actually be using the Admin profile on your PC.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hovo:
I'm on the admin account on my computer as well. Typing "adb devices" shows the device on the list, I don't understand why the backup code doesn't work.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rushead:
The code works. It's just not finding your boot img.

Does your kindle boot normally?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hovo:
Yep, I haven't installed the second bootloader yet because I wanted to backup the device first.

BTW, for what it's worth, the error happens with all 4 items the code is meant to backup; the system, recovery, bootloader and bootblock.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rushead:
It sounds like adb is not enabled, though you said it is. Have you tried a factory reset?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hovo:
Decided to give it another go this morning, and I feel so silly...

The adb shell was asking for root access this entire time, I never saw it until now though...

Thanks for all your help and sorry for makin you run around in circles. :s

Not sure if this has been ask yet but I just got a wireless charger so I could charge my nexus 7 while using a flash drive or a mouse connected to it. The problem i have is the wireless charging works great till i plug in a usb device then it does not charge anymore. I believe this is because the charging port is in use. Is there a fix or a setting that can let it charge?

Thank you

Update #1

Since I have not gotten any help from any community members or from other people, I decided to pursue this on my own to the best of my abilities. I decided to start looking up different articles with the same symptoms that I have and to see what the solutions were. Long story short, I combined a few solutions and one of the things some people did was just reinstall stock ROM altogether. For now, I am happy to say that I can access my phone via Command Prompt, but ONLY with "fastboot" commands. I came to this realization when I was looking up how to install stock ROM when one of the commands was to put "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and I happily had much success. Just make sure you're in FASTBOOT USB or else it won't work. I also ended up reinstalling all my HTC Drives and HTC Sync. At the moment, I cannot access internal memory via USB nor connect to HTC Sync. Also, to see what other commands that are available to your disposal, you can type "fastboot help".
[HTC Rezound] shock_and_awe:
Update #2

Since the last post, I've been looking around. Found out that the best solution would be to flash a stock RUU onto the phone. Requirements before flash would be to erase everything but the only command I can get to erase is with "fastboot earse cache" and thats about it. Everything else is unsuccessful. Anyway, instead of just going straight to downloading and flashing stock RUU, I accidentally decided to try following a procedure I read step by step by first locking bootloader with the command "fastboot oem lock" command and phone immediately shuts off. I try to power on again but just does same as before: boots to green HTC logo on white, stays on a for a few seconds, and turns off. This time, though, without the bootloader coming up. I believe I have bricked my phone.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Can you still get to Fastboot? If so, unlock again, and then download the latest TWRP recovery, and try:

fastboot boot recovery.img

replace recovery.img with the name of the recovery image file for TWRP.

Once that is done, look at your mounts and see if you can access any partitions.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Glad you got it working!
[HTC Rezound] shock_and_awe:
I actually have another issue now. I have managed to install TWRP onto my phone but when I attempt to flash a RUU I downloaded, I get this error:
