[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slamdunksaliby:
Let me preface this by saying I love this phone...any help or suggestions would be much appreciated :)

Is there such a thing as a "weak spot" on a screen?..when I touch my phone a slight "ripple" affect occurs on a small part of the screen...I'm not pressing it hard either very lightly...its not very noticeable just wondering if it will affect my screen in the long term

I know the company advertises a small space between the digitizer and LCD to increase touch sensitivity...maybe this is the reason?

What is the best/safest root method for the SM-G900F?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masum56k:
You can try Towelroot.

I prefer CF-Auto Root even though it trips KNOX

what is Knox? I keep seeing it everywhere
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Und3rtaker:
you can see knox counter in download mode. it should be: 0x0

when you trip this counter it goes to: 0x1

with that warranty is void. well, in most parts of the world

you can trip knox counter if you flash 1) custom kernel or 2) custom recovery

Most of roms here will trip knox counter, some will not(like Neat ROM from Sale)

Towelroot does not remove knox?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellHammerZA:
Have not used Towelroot myself so I cannot confirm. I've heard it does not trip KNOX if your firmware is dated June or earlier.

how to know if my firmware's date? is it the kernel version? it says Wed Jul 23
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellHammerZA:
That would be part of it yes. I haven't read much into Towelroot. They could have updated it from last I heard so things could have changed there.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Helbelinc:
Hey folks,

a friend of mine owns this GT-I9300. After leaving it on overnight, it wouldn't boot the following morning.

He asked me, if I could somehow fix his phone but now after hours and hours of browsing through forums and flashing at least a million different PITs and firmwares, I'm desperate enough to write an own thread for this issue.

He has never flashed or rooted that thing in any way.

I first tried to get into the stock recovery, but it immediately told me that it couldn't mount /efs (This file or directory doesn't exist), nor could it mount /system, /cache, or anything else for the same reason.

I hoped to get some order into this chaos by flashing an original firmware, but this didn't solve the problem either.

After my last attempt (flashing a 4.0.4 Stock Firmware [since I read in a thread that this solved the problem]), the phone would now not even get to the boot logo nor the recovery but is just a criss-cross, snowy frozen screen when turned on.

The only thing that worked (and still works) is the download mode.

So I tried to flash another version, but then Odin told me that there was no partition!

I accordingly browsed the web and found a firmware consisting of three parts + a PIT partition.

But that still does not work.

Can anyone somehow help? Or can the phone not be resurrected?

Thanks in advance.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dexterxda:
My pick is 20.7 MP with image stabilizer enabled, better results without it if you have a steady hand.

I use no scene, auto white balance (unless the auto gets it wrong), 20.7 MP, multi metering mode, image stabilize enabled.

To increase sharpness and reduce noise I then downsample the image to a width of about 3500px using Irfanview, because it's much better than Sony's crappy oversampling algorithm that it uses for the 8MP images.

So i don't know if this is because I just got a replacement device, but I put it on the charger and it's turning the screen off itself without going into the settings. I don't know if this is because it's saying "charge your battery" to update, but I'm not doing anything with ambient settings
[Moto 360] JimSmith94:
Mine came with the new update already on it and did the same thing. Search for how to enable developer mode and there is a toggle there to turn it on or off.

[Moto 360] woedee:
It appears that enabling developer options somehow disables the screen off while charging option. The strange thing is that although the developer option menu has a toggle for this, it actually does not work.
[Moto 360] HankB:
With the latest S/W rev (4.4W.1) I can turn the screen off in the charger the same way I turn it off on my wrist - placing my palm on the screen momentarily turns it off. (This is with developer options enabled but no changes to the settings.)

Easy Peasy!

Edit: And apparently the result of S/W not operating as designed. :( My 360 dropped the connection to my phone recently so I restarted it. Since then the screen remains on during charging regardless of what I do.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boltthrower56:
Hey fellas ,

I cracked the screen of my Nexus 4 and installed a replacement.

It's been approximately a month now.

Sometimes when i restart the device the touchscreen doesn't work and i have to restart it again and again until it starts to work. I noticed that when i put one of my fingers anywhere on the touchscreen (around the display not the bezels) , it starts to work and recognizes only one finger whereas i have two on the display , when i remove one the touchscreen doesn't work again. So , i have to restart sometimes just once sometimes a lot of times to get it to work.

I have intricate knowledge of the touchscreens and how they work but i can't put my finger on this problem. It looks like a capacitance issue because when i put two fingers it recognizes one , sometimes it needs 3-4 fingers on the screen to recognize only one.

My original one still works but has a bad lcd (colors are all messed up) because my clumsy attempt to repair it resulted in failure , i tried it and the original one works without a hitch. The only thing i haven't tried is to remove the battery. I installed everything when the battery was still on , the screws are too flat for any of my screwdrivers. But i hotplugged the original one and it worked. So , that's probably not the problem. I just shut it down with 3 of my fingers on the screen. Waited for it cool down and then reopened it , it worked. Whether this is a thermal issue or not , it needs further testing on my part. I'm currently not willing to find out because i just had to restart 5-6 times to get it to work and i need it to work constantly for the next couple of days.

I can't return this because i already got a full refund and the seller didn'T ask for a return , he said to keep it. He advertised it as genuine but it was aftermarket. So , this assembly was free folks. I broke it and got away with it. We gotta get this working without any problems so i can sell it when nexus 6 comes out.

But when i tried to flash paranoid ROM, my phone got bricked. When i try to on the device, it just vibrates frequently. So i thought it may be due to low charge. I kept for charging for 30 minutes. The red led was blinking. But the phone didnt got on.

So i flashed stock ROM which is "D6503_17.1.2.A.0.314_MEA" using Flshtool in flashmode. It flashed successfully, but the phone doesnt restart. It just vibarates when i tries to switch on the device. Please help.

Moto 360: consistently wrong time now

I've had my Moto 360 for over a week now ... love it, recommend it to everyone I know :D

But I'm having the same problem now. My watch just won't keep time, and it's getting worse and worse (i.e. farther off of the real time). Everything else seems fine - I still get notifications so I know the watch is paired to my phone correctly, my phone's time is set by the carrier and remains correct throughout the day, etc. But now my Moto 360 will "slip" forwards in time by over 20 minutes! I have to double-check the time on my phone every time I check on my watch now, which needless to say is not a very good feature in a watch.

Restarting the watch and reconnecting in Android Wear does fix the time syncronization, but having to reboot my watch a couple times a day is not very desirable obviously. I've reset my watch (Reset device in settings) twice now, rebooted my phone, wiped Android Wear's settings on my phone and uninstalled then reinstalled it - same thing, incorrect time on my watch after anywhere from 1 to 6 hours.

It was perfectly fine when I first got it, and perfectly fine (even better!) after the update. It would be marginally less awful if I could re-sync the time without having to restart my watch, but disconnecting via Android Wear and/or turning Bluetooth off then on again, un-pairing the watch then re-pairing it, etc., all have no effect for me. Super lame :crying:

If I could manually set the time, I could deal with that.

[Moto 360] moa77:
This is not a solution?? You can't look at the watch and not be able to trust the time, without checking your phone to see if it's right?? then sync again. It's a watch!!! It's it's core job. It should be able to be trusted to be right!!!

Mine has been out between 5 and 15 mins 3 times in the last 2 days, always fast. So not a refresh of screen issue.

I use Facer too, but even when I swipe to a standard watch face they are out too, until I do some sysnc with the phone.

I'm going to keep on a standard watch face today, and see what happens. Can't it really be facer? surly it just report the time on the device, will not change anything??

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

Why the tabs in the browser are reloading after moving it to the foreground?

Succession of actions:

1) I opened the browser & some tabs (for example, five) inside it.

2) I opened some website inside each tab.

3) I pressed "Home" button, returned to the desktop (main screen).

4) I runned some other apps.

5) I let my phone to rest for a while.

6) I opened the browser again (by tapping the shortcut on the desktop or selecting the browser in the list of the recently runned apps).

7) My browser reloaded the contents of the each tab when I trying to accessing it.

What is the reason of the behaviour described above in the p.7?

Sometimes, when the amount and the "power" of apps, mentioned in the p.4, were relatively small, there were no reloading of the pages during the second access to the browser. Sometimes, after the relatively small system load during the p.4, but relatively big "rest period" during the p.5, the pages reloading rook place in the p.7.

What's the problem? The lack of memory resources or are there some kind of "invalidation period", after which the page content considered to be obsolete and has to be invalidated?

I bought Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro 1.5 weeks ago hoped that this issue stayed in the past, but it didn't.

P.S. As far as I heard, the Android OS has quite another RAM management model than the Windows one. In Windows the RAM block, assosiated with the app X, remains "busy" and locked from using by other apps for the period of the app X execution, up to X closing, while in Android there are no clear and distinct app closing, only moving to background take place. So then Android needs a RAM and there are no free RAM of the desired amount, the system unloads the "oldest" app in background and uses the RAM block, previously assosiated with this app, for the new purposes. If so, are there any ways to "lock" some apps (such a particular browser) in order to prevent their unloading and avoid the tabs reloading then re-accessing them?
