[P3600 General] jackbeta:
I am quoting a fellow user's problem which happened to me as stated. I had to send my unit into the service center which they claimed that they had to reloaded everything but resulting the sytem to hang after that, and had to replace a brand new motherboard: Can someone enlightent me why did it happen and how to prevent such things from happening again.

I am encountered a problem with my D810.

I was loading a Sudoku game and after that my touch screen stopped responding, and the TODAY pull-down menu kept flashing on and off. But all the buttons working fine.

Tried to realign screen, but problem kept recurring, even after removing the new programs installed.

Soft reset many times, yet to do hard reset.

When connected to PC, the connection only established for a short while and dropped off after a while!

Now things got worse, my PC now can't recognise my D810 at all.

Could some one please help out here?

Thank you.
[P3600 General] Baxter:
Not sure about the PC but sometimes a screen protector can get between the case and screen and it can put pressure near the start menu. Also, the actual phone case can do this on rare occasions. Check for clearance with paper. Hope that helps.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenrry:
I was trying to update this Nexus S, used to be mine but gave it away to someone, now is back and I was trying to update the whole thing, recovery, Os, yet I can't find a proper way to update the recovery and also I have Win8...when I got this phone rooted I had a Win7 machine, life was great, now with Win8 some things seem far from easy.

So I wonder if any kind soul could assist me as to lend me a hand about updating TWRP 2.3 to 2.7 so I can install a fresh rom, i have tried TWRP manager (useless as it can't find the proper device), Flashify is useless also as it can't find the img file and only shows TWRP 2.1 (why the fk do I need 2.1 when I have 2.3 ?), and Rashr is no good (it simple doesn't do anything at all... )

Any help is welcome.

Hi There,

The latest Recovery for Nexus S is TWRP v2.8.x. Well u will need to flash the Twrp v2.8.x using fastboot because if you try installing the recovery using the TWRP Manager it will crash. I have a guide on how to root nexus s in the nexus s development section..Go through it . If you have a rooted Nexus S then skip to contect showing how to flash a custom recovery using Fastboot in my guide go through it and Enjoy..

Happy Flashing.

Good Luck ;)

HI, everyone,

I've been using KitKat and other CyanogenMod ROM's on my HTC Explorer for a long time, now I've bought a new Moto G 2nd Gen, but i cant find themes options anywhere, only wallpapers & widgets are available when i use long press on my home screen.

I'm a newbie, i've never seen or used a Moto G (1st or 2nd Gen) mobile previously.

Any one please tell me, it is bug or what?

[LG Optimus G (International)] cryingsouls:
hi, first of all: I have been searching for solution to this problem for ages but the problem still persists

I bought the phone a while ago, worked pretty much perfect, I experienced some random signal lost but right after restarting or some minutes the signal went back, so after some months and after changing my phone screen my signal disappeared completly It once worked with my friend's sim card but just with that card and just one time, I tried differente sim's and operators but got no sucess, the phone recognizes the sim but the signal strenght is null (X)

I already tried the following options:

reset

hardreset

5 different roms (cyanogen, and some stock 975/977 roms)

flashing another modem

4 differente sim's

didnt tried anything related to the kernel, this may solve my problem? seens like my problem is related to hardware problems, I dont know..

additional info: my imei is not blocked or N/A but my phone cant recognize my sim number

Additional info: on the fastboot menu the baseband is "N/A", is that value normal?

Thanks in advance:

Can anyone suggest me a good kernel that works with LiquidSmooth rom and saves battery? I have bad exprience with kernerls.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Best ROM/Kernel threads are not allowed on xda. Your best bet, and what everybody SHOULD recommend you do, is just keep trying different kernels until you find one that suits your needs. Everybody's usage patterns are different and what may work for some doesn't work for others. Nobody can tell you what's best for you because they don't know how you use your phone. So again, just try 'em out till you find one that works for you. It's not like flashing kernels is hard or time consuming, so go to town.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingxd:
but what if it bricks or bootloops my phone I'm asking for a rom that would work with LiquidSmooth
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
Liquidsmooth is a rom that works with liquidsmooth ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
LiquidSmooth is an AOSP based ROM so it will work with AOSP based kernels.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingxd:
Thank you.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Citizen_Snips:
Stop being lazy and read? The OP of a ROM thread will tell you if it's AOSP based or CAF. Same goes for kernel threads. The OP will tell you if it's made for AOSP or CAF ROMs. Next time put in the effort and do a little research for yourself instead of expecting people here to spoon feed you. If you're that worried about boot loops, just read for maybe 30 seconds and it wouldn't be an issue...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
You're welcome. And fyi- it's damn near impossible to actually brick the N5 so you're safe. If it bootloops, flash another kernel. And make a nandroid before you start flashing, and you're fully covered.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
We are allowing "best" threads for the time being. All XDA Rules still apply. If the conversation can be constructive, it will be allowed to stay.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Perhaps an update of the sticky threads are in order?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psycho693:
Liquidsmooth has their own kernel in the Rom. They are using the kernel called UBER. So if you find that the kernel included with the Rom is not working well for you, you need to download the stock 4.4 kernel. I will find it and post a link here for you. You need to flash that. It will save you from other kernels conflicting with UBER kernels heavy optimizations.

Here is the stock kernel. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358542125
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Good to know.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yes but leaving the sticky saying "no Best" threads gives mixed messages.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
Thanks for the heads up. The sticky has been removed.

This is a new policy change and it will take some time to remove stickies and other notices around the site.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theesotericone:
Why the change? Best threads have always evolved into flame wars. Some kind of sociology experiment on XDAs part? I hope I'm proven wrong here and people can stick to objective facts rather than emotional based opinions.
[Design, Prototyping, UI, Graphics] msapps:
Hi there,

As the process of creating Icons for Android was very annoying to me (design an icon, export it for 5 densities, change the color to make it "disabled", save it again 5 times ...) I wrote a command-line tool for this task. I guess it will help everyone who doesn't like this time consuming process too ;) I know there are online tools to convert one icon to the right sizes for each density, but have a look at what icon-converter can do:

The main idea is to have one SVG file for each icon. You do not have to have different SVG files for the states (e.g. enabled and disabled) but you can use icon-converter to change one or more colors in the icon.

Having all the SVG's, you can simply write a .sh script to "compile" all the icons at once, meaning that icon-converter creates all PNG's with the given settings (density, colors, scale, even versioning is supported, renaming files so that you can find them after compiling). The PNG's are then stored directly in the right drawable-directories. E.g. when you change an icon which has different states, you only have to execute your script once and do not have to export PNG's by yourself.

Please have a look at this tool, there are some examples online:

iconconverter.android-msapps.com

It runs on Linux and Windows.

Do you have any suggestions to improve the software?

Best

Is it a way to disable edit of Owner's Info with current data - maybe registy entry....
[General Topics] shogunmark:
even if you disable it when you do a hard reset you will be able to edit it again
[General Topics] Pawlisko:
shogunmark - I know about it.

I need it, because from time to time I accidently hit owner info and info is changed. I would like to limit this posibility.

After hard reset still I need to fill out info.
[General Topics] shogunmark:
are you talking about accidentally hitting it on the today screen?
[General Topics] Pawlisko:
Yes,

Sometimes when I have phone in side case is accidentally hits on user info, and sometimes changes inputed data
[General Topics] meschle:
You can make the item on the today screen non-selectable

In the registry

goto HKLM\software\microsoft\today\items\

then goto owner info and give 'selectability' a value of 0

Close down via power button and startup - owner info should not be selectable i.e. highlightable on the today screen.
[General Topics] Pawlisko:
meschle - your's solution is half what i am looking.

What I am exactly looking is selectability=1 and when you enter everything would be non-changable. Like all fields label not text boxes. I do not know how to descibe it diffrently.
[General Topics] meschle:
I dont think that is possible the info is in HKCU\controlpanel\owner and there are no parameters to make it non-changable.

You could have a static xml plugin but the result is essentially the same as option 1.
[General Topics] SparkS666:
I did it in my hermes without success. I can still select it and change the info.

Is there anything that I've missed? Thanks.
[General Topics] meschle:
You are right that tweak is only to make it non-selectable via d-pad not the stylus - the only way then is to have a plugin that allows text input and is totally non-selectable e.g. a xml plugin - there are a number around.
[General Topics] hanmin:
You can try rlToday

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sudhirtripathee:
Hello friends, i need urgent help on this:

I had a rooted htc one on stock rom.Yesterday, i tried to apply official OTA 4.4.3 update. For this, i flashed preload apps of 4.4.2 on stock rooted rom and then flashed the stock recovery. Then, i downloaded the OTA update,but the install process failed with the red exclamation mark which probably is the exclamation mark when we enter stock recovery.So. as an alternate process,i downloaded the correct firmware update package, relocked bootloader and installed the firmware package following the steps given on stock firmware collection thread by mike.It all went successfully.Finally, when i rebooted using fastboot command, the first screen appeared showing "HTC" but everything else after that happened in the background with the screen all black. like other black screen problems, everything works but the screen is all black. previously i had firmware version 5.12.707.3(CID:HTC_O44,MID:714000,S-On).The firmware version i tried to install was 6.13.707.1(CID: HTC_044,MID:714000).I could not get S-On because of whelp it sucks message.I could not even use moonshine although i wanted to because we don't have any payment option here(Even when i have to pay application fee to apply to colleges of foreign countries,i have to go to all the way to capital city. I know this whole thing sucks but i don't have any second option).So, is there any solution to this black screen problem?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calanderia:
same issue here, but i managed to resolve it.

i`d locked the bootloader and flashed the stock firmware = wrong

And how does it compare with the note 10.1 2014 edition?

I really love the S pen. Its so useful

Love it cause its a digitizer :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] GalaxyNotesTx:
I was thinking of getting one, but only difference is the screen.......I won't get the tab S now..No root exploit anymore..Note is far better.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] internetpilot:
My wife has the Tab S. It's an excellent tablet, very comparable (or better) than than the Note 10.1 2014 in terms of most of the specs and (real world) performance. I say "real world" because I do realize that the Tab S is a significant upgrade in some of the specs, but in my real world use of both tablets I haven't really noticed the Tab S being mindblowingly superior to the Note 10.1 2014.

It is a perfect tablet for my wife, but I still need/want the S-pen and root, so the Note 10.1 2014 is the better tablet for me. My wife also got the Tab 4 10.1 to use an eReader while exercising (didn't want to trash her Tab S at the gym). The Tab 4 is a nice tablet, too, but I put the Note 10.1 2014 and Tab S as fairly equal, but the Tab 4 is several notches below both of those overall.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] GalaxyNotesTx:
You won't notice.it has the same specs as 2014 tab..same processor, etc....It's not worth $500 for a Amoled screen.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Itchiee:
I have both actually but gave the Note to my girlfriend and kept the Tab S.

I've always liked Samsung Amoled screens so that was the main reason I switched.

The note part wasn't as important in my decision when I intially purchased and I rarely used it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] internetpilot:
I noticed a difference. Again, not mindblowing, but there is a difference. The processor in the Tab S is an octacore processor versus a quadcore, so they're not the same processor. The Tab S is also thinner, lighter, and comes with a lot more new TouchWiz bells & whistles that the Note 10.1 2014 does not have even after the Kitkat update. The Amoled screen is being reviewed as arguably the best tablet screen available. And considering what I paid for my Note 10.1 2014 right after it was released, $500 is a steal for a tablet that's actually slightly better.

All that being said, if you're like me, then you bought the Note 10.1 2014 for a reason -- particularly the Note features. Otherwise I would most definitely own the Tab S.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] transelite:
Yeah the tab S is the later model to the note 10.1 2014 edition.

I was just thinking of purchasing it too, mainly cause I see it advertised :eek:

But I've rooted my device and you guys say that the tab S cant be rooted?

Cause it hasn't been done yet?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
The S' use S-800/Adreno 330 and Exynos 5420/Mali T604 just like all of Samsung's high-end tablets (Note 10.1-14, Pro's). The only difference being earlier 10+" LTE tablets

all

got S-800 while with the majority of S' are Exynos/LTE. The U.S. carrier S' still use S-800 and there may be other isolated examples too.

And bigger.

M-UX is the only thing fundamentally different. Everything else works exactly the same but has a fresher interface, darker interface to help AMOLED battery life, or both. There are dozens of pages in the S forums complaining about lag. Same thing on the Pro forums. 4.4 on the N10.1-14 is pretty much lag free; especially compared to the 4.3 launch s/w. So M-UX is one "bell and whistle" I'm glad we were able to avoid.

Note's in general are pitched at productivity and creation users. That audience would be miserable with an AMOLED display. It's beautiful for video where it's quite battery efficient but on light colors, like most productivity and creation apps are, people would be crying. The S' battery life on whites would absolutely kill me because that's where I spend the majority of my time.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] REDMASTA:
I have been using the Note 10.1 2014 at work and really like it. Just got a Tab S to play with and it's pretty nice, thought I would hate the bronze color but looks very sophisticated. The Tab S feels much snappier than the Note 10.1 for some reason even though they are both running 4.4.2. I also really like Magazine UX, wish it would come to the Note but being this late in the game seems doubtful. The screen on the Tab S is also BEAUTIFUL, and the tablet does feel lighter. I do like the factory book cover case for the Note better than the one for the Tab S. Honestly I'm torn, I like the Pen on the Note but the snappier feel and Magazine UX has me wanting to switch. I will see how battery life compares before I decide.
