[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
In this case this depends on the developer. It seems that if MrSteve555 said to do so, then I believe it is best to follow his words. Well if you notice, I said it is a good practise to do those wipes.

If you don't do system wipe, a new zip will flash the new files and replace the old one. There are no disadvantages on doing this. But some ROM do recommend wiping the system first.

Above all, wipe the system as it might keep troubles away unless stated otherwise by the respected developers :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricodredd:
Thanks, TechnoSparks. And the same goes for /cache, dalvik-cache too? I don't mind waiting the few extra minutes it takes to wipe these too if there's any benefit.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
Yes its optional too but widely recommended across the forums. I am not so sure about the benefits. But let's just assume that your device will be a lot fresher if those wipes are performed. And just maybe, when I will have to flash a ROM in the future, I will try to ignore the wiping of cache and dalvik-cache and see if they do some negative impacts on the ROM.

Wiping the dalvik-cache only took 0 to 2 seconds in my experience. Wiping the /cache partition only took about 4 seconds. So it doesn't take so much time to be obvious :D

Hello to all

i have buy from the ebay an HTC ONE m7. it was Tampered and unlocked with cyanogenmod 11 and root ofcourse.

So my question is how can i rebuild it to the original phone it was with the original ROM and Lock ?

i have try some ways from threads i have read but with out success.

Thanks a lot.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
You would need to:

Download this file Guru Reset 4.19.401.11 and place on your sdcard

Boot into bootloader/FASTBOOT USB

Flash TWRP 2.6.3.3

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Boot into Recovery and install Guru Reset

This will take you back to stock and you will get the chance at the end to decide if you want to remain stock or root.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elessargr:
Thanks for the fast response

i manage to put the new ROM on the phone; its a little modified but its ok. i need instructions also for how to remove the tampered message and the unlocked message. any idea?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elessargr:
am also trying to update the ROM with the new updates from htc and it cant. it auto enter on the recovery menu of twrp.

can from the S-OFF going back to S-ON somehow if i do it?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
To receive updates you need stock rom and stock recovery. Here is nkk71's post on OTA Updates.

Also, it might be better to achieve S-OFF before the updates. It is sometimes a lot easier with the lower version numbers.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
If thats the case you did not install the Guru Reset correctly

re-flash the guru reset and choose yes to stock recovery and radio and No to Root. When done correctly you won't have TWRP and the updates will work

I do agree though ...Get s-off before updating

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weezlerox:
Hi peoples,

I am looking for a call blocker but specifically one which can block an entire code. For example, I currently plagued by calls for a spammy marketing company. I can add the individual numbers into a blacklist as and when the calls come in, but being a call centre they have literally hundreds of lines, but they all begin with the same "0333" dialing code.

Does anyone know of a call blocker that will do this? I currently have Ultimate Blacklist installed for general call and SMS blocking.

Many thanks

So does the wizard run any faster than the wm5 blue angel? I dropped mine and the lcd cracked. It's useable, but i'm thinking of upgrading and i can only go as high as about 250$. So an ebay wizard is what i'm looking at i guess. Is there anything else i should be looking at in that range?

Also, i bought this sx66 thinking i would use it to take notes, browse the web, play games, etc. but the passive digitizer is terrible, and it's not powerfull enough to browse very well or to play games. I use it mainly for organizer, outlook, alarms, and music. The rest of the power i'm passing on to a 12inch tablet pc.

So is there maybe a better phone for me all around? (i don't know, maybe i just haven't fully explored wm5's capabilities)

Thanks in advance
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] willpower102:
One more thing, how durable the wizard? The sx66 feels like it's going to fall apart at any time. I played with a xv6700 and it felt like it could take a beating and some falls the way it was constructed.

The mda looks like the sx66 but the 8125 looks bulkier like the xv6700... how do you all feel about either one's ability to withstand abuse?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] markgamber:
Speed is relative. The BA came with 2003SE and it was real fast when running that. When I put WM5 on it, however, it slowed to a crawl. I've heard that's improved but still, I'd have to say the wizard outperforms a BA overall, even with the slower processor.

As far as abuse, I don't think either could really take a whole lot. The wizard is definately holding up better than the BA did but I never dropped either device, nor real beat it up otherwise.

Personally, although I was kind of on the fence for the first couple weeks of owning the wizard, I'm definately glad I traded for a wizard. Your milage may vary.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Menneisyys:
I'd too go for the Wizard. It's not at all slow when you overclock it to 240 MHz and you can't beat the form factor / the keyboard when compared to the BA.

hi guys,

Sorry again for the lame topic.

I was wondering if anyone can receive calls from their google hangouts or voice android apps. I can do it fine on my pc in gmail or google hangouts but not when I sign into my google hangouts app on my android phone.

i have an htc evo 3d with negalite bluerom r115.

I couldnt get calls in google hangouts or voice in my stock rom or negalite rom though.

I really want to use my phone to answer my google voice number.

any help would be appreciated.

google voice hangouts not ringning

ive called my google voice number many times and it never rings on my android phone

is there a setting i need to do?

it works fine on my windows pc in google hangouts and gmail. the phone rings fine. it doesnt ring on my android
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Citizen_Snips:
First of all, you need to download the latest version of hangouts from Play Store. Make sure it is updated. v2.3+

Secondly you also MUST install 'Hangouts Dialer' by Google Inc. from the Play Store.

Hangouts Dialer

After you do both, reboot your phone for good measure.

Lastly, open Hangouts. A popup should ask you if you want to integrate Google Voice into Hangouts to make calls. After you accept that, click your email address/contact picture on the top-left. This will open the slide-out action bar. From there click on Settings. Once there, click your email address. Check the following options.

Working perfectly on my Nexus 5. Best of luck.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] givemeroms:
thanks,

it works now, the settings box was not checked for incoming calls

I still have one problem with calls though. My phone wont ring when it is in sleep mode. I have to take it out of sleep mode to get calls.

I need it to ring when it is in sleep mode? I have negalite bluerom on it with the latest google hangouts with dialer

does anyone know what i do to get it to ring when it is in sleep mode.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silkeyway:
Hi everyone,

Nexus 5 on different recent CM11 nightlies, and Pebble V3R1 on firmwares from 2.4 to 2.6, fwiw.

So I'm using a "Notification Center" app to get notifications to my Pebble smartwatch. The app uses NotificationListener, then filters through custom settings (like "no notifications for app xyz"), then sends the message to the Pebble (or not).

Now whenever I'm having the phone on and an app running, taking WhatsApp with the keyboard up as an example now, and I get a new notification that wasn't previously there (like the first Hangouts message since I last dismissed Hangouts notifications), and the message is not filtered out but actually forwarded to the watch, WhatsApp will behave like when you hit the home button and open it again right away, which means the keyboard will minimize in that case, which is annoying, to say the least. It also happens when I dismiss the notification on the phone from the watch.

I also found out over time that this issue exists for four different apps (had to buy every single one :victory: ) from independent developers. I contacted two of them personally and none of them has a clue what to do or is able to reproduce the issue. Also no one else seems to have reported this one.

There are options to work around the problem like disabling notifications being sent to the watch while the phone screen is on, but that's not convenient, because I enjoy having those notifications on the watch while using a fullscreen app, for example. But I'm really out of ideas as to where to look or who to talk to to get a step further with this weird issue.

Also I can not reproduce it using other NotificationListener apps, like tasker + relevant plugin to execute some stuff.

If anyone had really any input, like how would I go about finding out "who" actually messes with the active app, or anything really, I'd be grateful.

Thanks, Silkey

Edit: And just minutes after posting I find another one: whenever opening or closing the main menu on the pebble the exact same thing happens. I guess I'll have to take this one over to the pebble developers. I'll leave this here though if I may, maybe someday someone will experience this too and stumble upon this thread.

Edit2: With the first edit and some help on IRC we were now able to be 100% sure it's an pebble issue. Sorry for this one, I guess.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxtester:
When I select Timeshift-Video from the camera options and record a video (no matter to internal or class 10 SD card), it indeed does record a video and the small thumbnail also shows "120f" after saving. But then playback is just like any other regular video, that is, in real time. Hence, no timeshift/slow-motion anywhere. Further, I don't get this -well, how to describe it- settings circle on the screen for playback adjustments I used to see on the Z2.

That was one too much :p

(Re-)Enabling the one with the older version alone (Movie Creator 1.3.A.0.11) brings back full functionality of Timeshift Videos.

same problem

I have the same problem, and I was never able to resolve it.

Basically, the first time I connect it to my pc through USB and synch the device, it creates the partnership and works. The second time onwards nothing, not even file access to the files on the prophet. Bluetooth connection works perfectly, and USB with another pc works too.

If I delete the partnership, and connect it again, it again creates the partnership and works the first time. The second time onwards nothing again.

I've tried various versions of AS, hard-resetting, changing cables, uninstalling all network and antivirus utilities (windows xp firewall is disabled anyway), most things except actually formatting my pc (that would be a nightmare!).

My main problem is not synching, as I prefer to do that over BT anyway, but upgrading the ROM is quite a hassle, which is one of the reasons I haven't updated to one of the new AKU's yet.

My dream is that someone will actually come up with a solution for this! :)

i stumble upon a thread that S-off is really needed to have proper and compatible FW and ROM. Question is, isnt it the FW is packed with the ROM? My M8 is rooted, bootloader open but still S-Off (IC ROM and Elemental KERNEL). Please enlighten me.

PS: i read about this whole thing coz the boot time of my phone is just too long, i asked in one of the thread here; someone said that its because of this FW and ROM thingy that might be incompatible...

Sorry if i asked too much. Thanks anyway...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
No. Firmware is not packed with custom ROMs. When talking about updating the firmware, we are referring to the hboot, radio, and other modules (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.). Flashing a ROM doesn't touch those firmware partitions. And in fact the radio and hboot partitions can not be modified with S-on. Which is why s-off is required to update the firmware manually.

Yes, long boot time is a known symptom of flashing a 2.x based custom ROM, while having outdated 1.x based firmware on the phone. So you need to s-off and update the firmware manually.

Alternately, you can return to stock ROM and recovery, and install your latest official OTA, which will update the firmware.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmyth:
Your firmware is separate from the ROM you run, it runs between the ROM and the hardware if you like. Its the base software that is updated by RUU or an OTA, but a ROM won't update it. Hence why devs recommend to update firmware to the latest as their ROM is based on the latest sources, but it doesnt update it.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You probably won't find an RUU for your version, as I believe only the US versions have RUU. Unfortunate, as RUU would be another way update you to the 2.x firmware, and would be a really easy way to do so.

You just need stock ROM and recovery, for purpose of accepting OTAs. You should be able to get both of those here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376

You shouldn't have to do anything with bootloader. Since you are still S-on, there is no way you would have been able to modify bootloader, and therefore it is still stock.

Firewater website works fine for me. In fact, it loads almost instantly. Do you have any local firewalls or anything else that might be blocking the website? Although also be aware that firewater won't work on most recent M8's (and you may need to use sunshine if you want s-off). Although it doesn't hurt to try firewater.
