[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spaniel95:
Hi Amazing people

I have somehow managed to kill my phone. I tried updating one of my apps and the performance went downhill. I then tried to restart the device and it got stuck on the four spinning circles. I can access recovery mode but I don't want to wipe the device as it has files I still want.

Can I boot the nexus into Safe Mode from powered off state?

or what do you recommend without me losing my files???

Help ME please

Regards

Spaniel95

Whoever can help me I will pay £10 negotiable to help me recover my phone. I don't mind doing a factory reset but I want to keep my pictures.

The phone is unrooted and got a locked bootloader. PLEASE HELP ME
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arno500:
???

Have you a custom ROM ? And what is your ROM version ? What are the four circles you are describing ?

You can try going to recovery (stock one if not bootloader unlocked), and erasing cache files android.gs/how-to-boot -reassemble URL I can't post URL without 10 posts- -recovery-mode-for-google-nexus-5/

If it doesn't work you can try to flash all stock fastboot images but it erase all data because you have to unlock it and it erase even the (simulated) SD card (where your photos are).

It is very complicated because you don't have an unlocked bootloader. Can you even boot in the system ? Getting to the lockscreen ? Or you have a bootloop?

Explain more please

LG G3 or the SGS 5 or iPhone 6?

Can someone help me?

wich is better in performance, camera,...
[General Questions and Answers] Jaredmf:
Well the first glaring question is your preference of iOS or Android

Off of your performance questions -- most flagships have fairly similar specs, but i'd say the camera in the iPhone outperforms the Galaxy S5 by a little (personal preference).

Battery life in the S5 will shatter most other phones (except the 6+)

I think any of the flagship phones are great, but what phones have you had in the past? Do you prefer iOS or Android? I'd say that's the most deciding factor in what phone to get.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinnerghost:
Hi, there's an issue I have with my Nexus 4. I originally was on franco kernel, and tried to flash a different kernel, and it was giving me a boot loop, so I reflashed franco, but wiped data too, not only dalvik and cache.

Now, the phone booted completely, but it's in a state where my contacts were close to 3-4 months ago, and going to Gmail, and restoring contacts from there does nothing, as on gmail it's also the same situation. Is there antyhing I can do?

Does it have anything to do with wiping data? Although I did this also while having custom roms, and contacts weren't suddenly deleted for no reason!

Thank you in advance!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

Yes it has to do with wiping data. Your contacts were in data partition, so when you wiped it you deleted everything within it! You have the contacts from 3-4 months ago because it was probably the last time your Google Account backed up it.

I don't see why when flashing custom ROMs and wiping data before you didn't face this problem, maybe it was backed up... I don't know about there, but here in Brazil contacts can also be saved on SIM card, but I'm unsure if newest android versions still support it, after all last time I used it was with my old X10 Mini Pro.

~Lord
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinnerghost:
Thanks for the reply. Long shot, but is there any way to recover the data?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lawstorant:
unfortunately not if you don't have any backup (even from TWRP)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

Just like it was already stated, unless you have a backup somewhere, you can't recover this data.

Dear Community!

I have a problem with my Note 3 clone.

My LCD screen was broken, but i found a spare one on Ali*******.com and repaired it, everythings went well except when i assembled the phone i was broke the loudspeaker's connecting pin (ringer, buzzer or call something similar).

I tried to solder it, it was successfull, but it wont work.

Can anyone knows a shop or something where can i buy a spare speaker for it ?

Sadly, on the speaker there isn't any number or code so i can't identify the part number.

Phone specs are (including the screenshot):

Nevermind, i figured out that the HTC Desire 500's Speaker is completely the same as i mentioned above, so i ordered one, and repaired the phone with it. Everythings worked well just needed the MTK Engineering Mode app to set higher values for the loudspeaker.

Hi !

So...that's my questition. My phone is SGS and i want to check in what file system the /data partition is formatted. Is there any way to do it ?

Thanks in advance, guys !
[General Topics] aserraric:
Open a shell (either install a terminal app or connect via USB and run "adb shell" on your computer) and run the command "mount". This will give you a list of all mounted filesystems. Look for the one mounted to /data.

For example, for my I9505, it reads:

/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata /data ext4 rw,seclabel,nosuid,nodev,noatime,journal_checksum,journal_async_commit,noauto_da_alloc,data=ordered 0 0

This means my /data is an Ext4 partition.
[General Topics] firedoge:
Open the terminal and run the command

mount

you will see how and where all partitions are mounted.

For data partition, in my phone, it shows up

/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /data ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0

that means /data is mounted as

ext4
[General Questions and Answers] astman:
Hi

Last weekend i decided to dust off a family members HTC One XL (Telstra Australia Model) and give it some new life by rooting it and flashing CM11...

Little did i know that i was flashing a HTC One X version onto a One XL i stupidly thought the XL was larger but i was clearly wrong...

However i managed to flash a correct recovery which was TWRP v2.7.1.2 and after multiple attempts at flashing a new rom CM10 and CM11 it will not boot at all and is stuck at either the bootloader or recovery.

I messed around searching various forums and havent found much help as the XL is the least common of phone models.

I have yet run into another issue when i mount the device it shows 0mb of available space and wont appear on my computer. I have however been doing everything on a MAC but have a windows PC at my disposal if i need to use that.

I spent hours looking and troubleshooting and have turned to XDA forums for help, anything is greatly appreciated even returning it back to stock will be great!

Thanks

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pbanj:
if the bootloader is locked then it was locked before the update. if towelroot doesnt work then you are on too new of an update to unlock the bootloader, sorry.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyYan:
As said above, if you didn't unlock your bootloader before updating, you're stuck.

You should have read through the forum first - updating to KK .10 and unlocking the bootloader in there is a good way, but you skipped directly ahead and there's no way of going back.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abifahad:
oh yeah that was my mistake i didnt read the forum but tell me is towelroot make it root means it also unlock the bootloader and is my opinion is right that my build date is after 3 june 2014 thts why its not working on it and i need to wait until new towelroot is released or something else to make it root...........i dont understand my device become so lagy after kk update. it takes 2 to 3 sec to do action when i press anything.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abifahad:
now what should i do is there anyway to make it unlocked or root the device is so lagy on kk
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyYan:
You're right - the reason Towelroot won't work is because the kernel is new and patched the exploit used in Towelroot. For now there's no other root method, you're gonna have to wait, maybe for months.

And Towelroot doesn't unlock your bootloader (Motocalypse does), which means even if there's a root method later, you still might not be able to unlock your bootloader, because the bootloader exploit might have been patched as well. So yeah, you're pretty much stuck forever.

Do a factory reset, install less apps, burden your phone less, and live with it for now.

he could disable some of the stock apps he doesnt use or need also but other then that he is stuck

[Nexus 10 General] iMarv:
Having Similar thoughts!

The specs bump up is not that signficant for an 'upgrade' to N9. I would prefer to hold on the nexus 10 unless there is a very good trade in offer.
[Nexus 10 General] malctron:
Yeah I think I'll wait then. I was so disappointed with the kitkat update as it seemed to of made my tablets performance rubbish. When I had it, it was quick, snappy and a dream then the dreaded update and went down hill from there. I hope the 'L' update sorts that. But I can be doing with the wait haha so jealous of the guys with there nexus 4/5 haha.
[Nexus 10 General] UK_Wildcats_Fans:
I love my N10 and don't really have any issues with it. Like many, I use a custom ROM because it seems to get faster response to bug fixes and has more customizations. At first there were only a few ROMs and now there are many of them to choose. If I were to consider an upgrade, it would be to for possibly a bigger unit such as a 12" or 14" - even though I like the 10".
[Nexus 10 General] dfox123:

[Nexus 10 General] Arcano:
While I do like 4:3 aspect ratio more thatn 16:9, since I do mostly reading on the tablet, I don't see any big improvement on the Nexus 9, so I'm going to keep my N10 for a while.
[Nexus 10 General] ChrisM75:
'Not significant'?? Well i guess it depends in what area. The screen resolution is similar, but the screen cant possibly be anything other than far better. Its got more up to date Wifi, much much faster RAM and more of it, a CPU thats at least 5x faster in raw terms and a GPU thats an order of magnitude faster at least.
[Nexus 10 General] Langduscher:
And all those specs on the N9 weren't necessary if Lollipop would truly bring an enormous performance update [emoji6]

I think we (the N10) can also forget the "coloring notification bar" like my N5 has with apps which have Material Design (like Gmail: red; Documents: blue; etc), because we didn't have transcluent not bar either with KitKat.
[Nexus 10 General] PVL_93_RU:
I'm intersted in seeing how well is N10 going to perform with 5.0, but I'm decided on getting the Nexus 9 anyway - I think the 4:3 9" device is a good compromise for using one device at home and outdoors or at university rather than having two separate devices for each task (I currently go to uni with N10 and use N7 at home due to its weight and portability)
[Nexus 10 General] abdel12345:
So it won't be transparent in lollipop either? That's sad and just seems like a lazy decision. I highly doubt that it lowers performance. Almost every custom rom has it as translucent and I haven't seen any performance drops on there

[Nexus 10 General] rockpapercannon:
I'm still very much sitting on the fence on this one. I use my N10 almost exclusively in portrait mode and find it really heavy and awkward to hold. Plus web browsing (and even PDF editing on large PDF's) on the N10 can still be a sluggish experience. The N9's 4:3 aspect ratio, ~180g weight saving and ultrafast chip would be really helpful in countering my main gripes with the N10.

The initial reviews though don't sound hugely promising - especially about the poor battery life (4-5 hours) and flimsy back cover...

Hm...
[Nexus 10 General] Warren_Orange:
Quite a few big reviewers have slated the N9 saying it's simply not worth the price tag.
[Nexus 10 General] abdel12345:
Most of them have reviewed it before am 800 mb ota came out to fix any issues. They should've waited and Google should've not let them review until the ota was out. Wait for android authority's review they said they're gonna do it after spending a good amount of time with it. Also it's releasing at the same price point as nexus 10 and 20 dollars cheaper than nexus 10 for 32 GB version. So it's not really bad pricing. People just think that because of the nexus 7 being so cheap. Anyways you pretty much get an upgraded processor, upgraded GPU (which is very much needed for nexus 10) boom sound speakers (though the nexus 10 front speakers are pretty decent themselves) more compact device with only 1 inch smaller screen, much lighter and easier to hold. Slight camera upgrade as well. And probably a better screen even though the resolutions are the same. It's not that much of an upgrade over the nexus 10 but it's an update definitely. I myself am sticking with my nexus 10 since for my needs as a media device and some school stuff it's perfectly capable. Maybe I'll upgrade next year but after the nexus 10 I don't think I'll be getting a tablet anymore. More likely I'll get a touch laptop or one of those two in ones.

Hi there,

When I want to use another skin for the Media Player 10 Mobile, a neat Media Player 11 skin, I copy the skinfiles in a folder called "WMP11" to \Program Files\Windows Media Player\.

The MP finds the actual skin in the options menu tab "Skins" and when I select the skin it has been succesfully applied.

The thing is, when I close the Media Player (real closing not minimalize) and open it again, it always starts to look for skins and I then need to reselect the MP11 skin.

How can I push the Media Player to avoid this and to let it handle my own skin the same as the default one?
