Hi,

New to the forum and would appreciate some assistance.

I have a HTC One (M8) on EE, Android version 4.4.3 software 2.26.61.1 which until yesterday ran 4.4.2 from the box absolutely fine.

My issue is that when using the usb cable to connect to my pc, as I have done for months, with no other changes other than the ota update yesterday I can now no longer use the device for usb mass storage. In windows explorer style or other.

The pc is running XP so thought it may have been an MTP issue, so installed;

Media Transfer Protocol Porting Kit

microsoft .com download id 19153

which has made no difference.

I do have a windows 7 laptop and file browsing works fine regardless of the recent update however my main storage is exclusively connected to my PC and it has been in fine working order always, until this recent update.

All cables being used ate the ones supplied with the device going direct into USB2 ports.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the HTC Sync manager and associated software both from the phone and from the HTC website.

To be honest the Sync Manager software has always been more trouble than its worth in my opinion.

The phone has been plugged into the PC for an hour and a half incase there was any install issues but this has made no difference.

No driver installations have failed or are outstanding in device manager and I'm at a complete loss.

I feel I shouldn't have to factory reset my phone or install a custom ROM as it should in my opinion work out of the box and any ota updates be thoroughly tested so would rather not go down that route.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sutty_monster:
Hello all. First post here, so hope it makes sense. I got two XDA Exec's a few months ago on ebay. One was badly damaged and I got it to fix up as a project. The other was in perfect condition. I recently got around to replacing the screen (it had been smashed) and the case this week (the case was badly dented and scratched). However I am finding that the screen does not auto align to the mode you have it in. It also does not switch off when the screen is flipped down . Does anyone know where the sensor is for the screen. Or if its a easily fixed issue?

So at home I have my stock charger in my bedroom, and a powerbot in the living and at my desk in my office... a powerbot doesn't seem like the best idea for the car, not real place to be able to play it and not worry about it sliding around when having to make some sudden type of move... I'm thinking of some type of charger that you can hang the watch on and keep it in place.. Nothing like that on the market yet is there? even in terms of phone qi chargers?

use rubber bands.

Just buy a wireless charger from Amazon and use two rubber bands to hold the watch in place on the seat while you're driving. Works like a charm, $15

[HTC Inspire 4G] Jounsa:
Hello,

Not sure if anyone is still watching these threads. :confused: Nonetheless, I need some help please!

I have a client that brought their HTC Inspire 4G to me last Wednesday and the issue he is receiving (and now confirmed by me) is that the phone will not turn on.

When the battery is removed and then reinserted, the power button (and volume down button) is pressed, the phone vibrates 7 times and then goes back into a "dead mode".

The phone is completely stock, and has never been rooted or tampered with.

Can someone please lend me some guidance?
[Moto G General] Jhdoubleoseven:
Hi all,

I had an idea last night; our Android phones are computers, right? And recently someone found a way to run Android apps on Linux.

Many developers here are familiar with Arch Linux; many are also familiar with its minimalist approach. There is a way to install Arch Linux ARM for rooted phones to be used inside Android, but what if we made it better -- what if we made an Android ROM based off Arch that you built from scratch? Consider the possibilities: If you don't care to use your phone (maybe it's outdated) as a regular phone, make it into a computer. Hook it up to a monitor (Chromecast, anyone?) and perform normal computing operations. Although the Moto G lacks RAM, running it with just a WM and making swapspace would do wonders; a Moto X would be even more perfect. Why not re-purpose your old phones into new computers?

I have been using Arch as my primary OS (only one installed on this computer) for 5 or 6 months now, and while I'm no expert I think that getting this to work wouldn't be terribly difficult. My thought on how this project would proceed:

1) Install a basic system (or boot some sort of install img) from fastboot

2) Repartition the internal SD card, do away with Android (maybe add dual-boot support eventually?)

3) Install Arch normally

4) Work on a package for a DE that supports touch screen

5) Create an easy package to allow for installation of Play store and running apps

The beauty of this would be similar to Arch: flexibility, choice and the option to run a minimalist version of Android, stripping away excess features so that users can have what THEY need.

I'm going to try to turn the ISO into an IMG and see if fastboot will let me boot it. I'll report back; if anyone can help out, let me know -- can't do it all by myself! I'd love any recommendations you guys have, or if it won't work just let me know right off the bat lol. Thanks!

EDIT: Tried making an img but don't think fastboot can boot such large images... maybe a custom recovery that can boot images? Basically I'm just trying to figure out how to unmount the partitions and modify them. Obviously if you can't it will be a bit harder because we'll have to build an Arch system that fits into the Android partitions. But a single root partition would probably be most convenient for these purposes.
[Moto G General] DustArma:
Repartitioning the internal storage is extremely risky and you could hard-brick your phone

Good luck anyway, you might wanna look into Ubuntu Touch
[Moto G General] Jhdoubleoseven:
So I've read... and yes yes, there's Ubuntu Touch, but Arch deserves a mobile port too! :)
[Moto G General] K3VYNC:
Sounds good... Can I help you with this project?

P.S. I'm not a developer
[Moto G General] Jhdoubleoseven:
Certainly!

From elinux.org: Fastboot is the name of a tool used to manipulate the flash partitions of the Android developer phone. It can also boot the phone using a kernel image or root filesystem image which reside on the host machine rather than in the phone flash. Think fastboot is what we need. [MENTION=3883883]DustArma[/MENTION] mentioned that it's risky to change partitions, but can that hurt fastboot? Can you make a backup of the partitions with fastboot?
[Moto G General] adinkwok:
This is extremely risky and I don't really think you should attempt it unless you've got more than 3 devices just waiting to get bricked before you may achieve something. I'm not trying to disrespect at all, but a project like this takes a lot of skill and more than just basic knowledge on how to build. Of course, I'm not exactly trying to stop anyone from doing this, but it is extremely risky for your device.
[Moto G General] fermasia:
What you are suggesting is very, very difficult to achieve and as it's been said, it requieres a deep knowledge and expertise just to give it a shot... and if I had to bet I'd say it would fail even in the most expert hands. Respectfully said... it sounds like you are considering it out of the lack of experience and skill. Talk to kernel and rom devs, falcon has tricky hardware.

Just my opinion, for sure you are free to do whatever you want with your device.
[Moto G General] Jhdoubleoseven:
Oh wow, really? I thought that fastboot was like BIOS, so messing with internal storage would be nothing. Who would you recommend I talk to [MENTION=5190317]fermasia[/MENTION]?
[Moto G General] fermasia:
YoshiShaPow has done great with his kernel and you read his opinion... But you can browse around the forum. [emoji106]
[Moto G General] Jhdoubleoseven:
So what makes Android phones unique compared to computers... Like I can remove my hard drive and my computer can still function, assuming I can boot from a USB drive or CD
[Moto G General] abhifx:
first of all, wrong section as nothing is uploaded yet and you are just in discussion phase.

second you might get lucky with multiom support. should be less risky. but i don't know how pure arch will run considering so much closed source binary blobs for arm system.

should be a fun project. you should not get discouraged by what others say and you can always get your mobile repaired.
[Moto G General] virajmalia:
Well...haters gonna hate. No offense. But I think your idea is great!

I think here's what our first thing should be:

1. Since archlinux has a different partition table, we need to study and analyze both android(specifically moto g's) and Arch Linux partition table.

2. A new(or a modified) partition table will have to made, which has the following:

a)keeps fastboot partition untouched(so that we are "brick-free")

b)matches the partition sizes of Arch Linux keeping in mind the internal storage limitation. (Theoretically, bootable USB should be a safer and an easier option).

3. This partition can then be flashed using fastboot (same as gpt.bin file in firmware packages. GPT-General Partition Table).

This completes the first important step. Next step will be the kernel that supports our phones hardware.

PS: I am not a developer. I possess basic knowledge of linux. One can expect nice ideas from me. I'll help in whatever way I can.

[Moto G General] Jhdoubleoseven:
So I was looking at this:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/ContainerArchitecture

And it tells us all about how Ubuntu Touch does it -- think ArchROM needs to be engineered in much the same way, possibly using Ubuntu Touch as a base then slowly removing it and replacing it with Arch -- as they did to Android. Not pure but it works.

Hello guys,

These days I've figured it out that my app would look better using some google now-like cards. I've implemented cardsLib and created some layouts for every card I'd need. Everything is working fine except that i can't update their content at onCreate, onStart or onResume and I really need to get some data, interpret it and then populate those Cards wich contains some edit texts.

If I place a button and then try to set some texts works, but i'd need this to be automatically.

I have tried inflating the layout which contains the edit texts, but it just leaves them blank.

Any idea or workaround would be greatly appreciated.

If your on 4.4.4 NH7 then you have to use SuperSu v 1.94 or 2.02 to root your device, and the app will work. But SuperSu will trip KNOX 0x1 .

Make sure that isn't PC or USB cable problem (try another PC/cable if possible). If nothing changes try to factory reset or reflash factory image

If still not working and you're sure that your USB connector it's broken, you can buy the replacement on eBay, search for "galaxy s4 usb flex" or "galaxy s4 daughterboard"

You can use component from i9505/i9505g/i9507/i9508 and US/Canada etc variants. I'm not sure about i9500 component.
