[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RASTAS12:
This has been posted elsewhere on XDA however it was suggested that this would be a better location to post so here goes:

'Good day all,

I have the above tablet which has been bricked . (We sell these and a customer has returned a unit to claim warranty so I am not 100% sure what has occurred to make the device what it currently is.) Basically I have another identical unit and have created a backup image with MTK Droid Tools. However when I try to load this image with SP Flash Tools I get errors. These state that the image I have is not correct (as it is from an identical unit I can safely say this is not correct) to the device storage not being available. The second error is the one I believe may be the problem. Is there a way that the internal storage may have been compromised and if is is there a way the storage can be fixed?'

I have tried to study the posts relating to partition dumping but am simply not bright enough to figure it out. Is there a way I can make a 'ghost' image of the working tablets partition table and then tranfer that to the bricked unit?

Thanks in advance for the help and time.

Alternately is anyone able to confirm a partition backup and restore tool?

Hi,would like to update software to 10L using PC Suite which will unroot my phone.

Understand that it is a simple procedure to reroot again using purpledrake.

My qn is,after PC Suite has updated my phone,how abt the current settings that I have(modded statusbar and nav bar)?Will it be gone or still stay even though I am unrooted?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Still_living714:
For those mods to work you need root right? If you don't have root how are they supposed to work? Backup app and data and after root just bring them back ??

Hi,thx for reply.

what i meant was for eg. I have colored navbar.After updating thru PC Suite I will lose root,will the navbar remain or returned to stock?

Hello guys have we heard anything about SSD read and write for Android 5.0? is it going to be like 4.3 limited access?

Thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmyth:
I think it will be the same as I can't see Google reverting any SD card related changes. They've not included sd card slots since the nexus one and pushing people to use their cloud services for storing stuff. The changes were made for security purposes, ie apps can only access 'their' folders files on the external sd card. Google are implementing more and more security features like encryption as standard, to enhance privacy and security and these are features that are more relevant than ever at the moment.

Hi guys I was wondering if someone figured out how to disable the persistent notification while playing music. It's so annoying. It covers the bottom half of the screen and I can't tell the time, which kind of defeats the purpose. I tried disabling notifications for the play music app but it's still there. Any suggestions?

[Samsung Gear 2] Faspaiso:
Hi

I rooted my phone, so I can't update with Samsung Gear manager anymore. (Any way around this btw?)

So I can't update my gear and I brought it around 3 months ago (where I rooted it the same day)

So is their any way I can see the latest firmwares?

Also, I'm pretty new to this.. Tizenmod is just a custom rom, just like CM for an phone, right? So it Tizenmod updated?

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Gear 2] 440bro:
The latest release is R380XXU0BNE5

I "think" Tizenmod is based on it. And yes it's a customized rom.
[Samsung Gear 2] Faspaiso:
Clicked the thanks button! ;)
[Samsung Gear 2] Zap!:
What date was it released? "I got my Gear 2 in June and once a week or so try to update it, and it always says I have the latest software. So that means two things. Automatic updates are happening and I didn't notice, or Samsung is being amazingly lazy.

Hi,

I recently rooted my s4 on a stock rom and then flashed over it with the stock rom to remove the root

Then it started kernal panicking!

I did a factory reset on the phone again to see if that would fix it.

Now i cant obtain a phone signal because the phone thinks my sim card isnt in there.

This is a very new development.

Hope somebody can help as i need my phone for college

Thanks

After updating to latest version of Google Play Services I have started to notice some sort of partial wakelocks. After 6hrs use I've got 44mins wakelock by google play services. Has anyone else noticed such behaviour? I have tried Purity Rom, Cm and Carbon just incase if there's difference, but I've encountered the same wakelock always. Here's what wakelock detector shows

Edit:thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
wakelocks are how your phone works, they are supposed to be. an occasional incident might happen, and a process will get "stuck", which could keep a wakelock active. tell me, your wakelock, is it draining battery faster than usual? a reboot will usually fix these kinds of incidences. but you say you flashed roms since, and still the same.. so my next question is which apps are you using that is using this wakelock?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockknee:
Afaik I don't use any apps that trigger these wakelocks I've experienced. The only solution I've found so far is to disable services called "Configfetchservice" and "userpresenceservice". I've got these wakelocks no matter what ROM or even if I had disabled all Google stuff (sync, location, device manager and so on). Always after a day I have about an hour of Google play services wakelocks by userpresenceservice and configfetchservice. Never had this before. I'm sure it has something to do with latest google play services versions. I know wakelocks are very important part in smartphones but these kind of wakelocks are everything else but wanted.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
so you are saying that these wakelocks exist for you.. one very important question to an answer you havent mentioned at all, are these wakelocks causing battery drain?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockknee:
Not really shocking drain but noticable it is, which is nothing exceptional. It does these wakes during deepsleep every now and then. And of course when device is not used much and there is google play services on top 3 consuming elements at settings-> battery that's not the way it should be. Now I'm going to enable those services again and look for the logcat if I could find out to which app it is related to.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
if its draining some battery, but nothing in large amounts, i wouldnt really worry about it. as sometimes these wakelocks appear, then disappear a week or two later.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockknee:
I guess you're right. I'll just keep those services enabled for a week or so and see wheter it goes away or gets nasty and drains my battery in couple hours.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
a while back, these kinds of things drove me crazy. then one day i just decided not to think about them anymore, and have been better off since. sure, every once in a while(rare, usually location oriented) a wakelock will appear that will drain lots of battery, but ill just use the disable services app to kill that wakelock for a week or two, then ill switch it back and all will be normal.
[Android General] RAT Raceway:
Hello All

Does anyone out there know if you can lock down the Location/GPS on the Rugby SGH-I547?

I have an employ that says they are accidentally disabling the Location tab on there phone.

I do not have this problem with any of the other 5 units we have (we are very small). I want to give them the benefit of the doubt that his not doing it on purpose. Our new insurance gives us a discount for tracking and with them not being tracked we are going to lose it.

Is there anyway to disable or lock GPS so it can NOT be turned off?

THANKS A TON!
[HTC Desire C] hyend:
Hey guys,

a few days ago the display of my GF's Desire C stopped working (only ~a year after she bought it). Anything else seems to work, except for the display.

My Problem: As the display stays off at any time of use, I'm not able to choose the correct USB mode of the device which enables to save data from the device. If the device is turned off. I only find a device called "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" at some COM-Port of my Windows system. She really needs the data (some was saved on the SD-Card luckily^^), especially the text messages because they have some memorable character.

I would really appreciate any advice - except for rooting, unlocking or a factory reset, because the plan is to use the waranty of the device to let HTC exchange the display. But this plan includes a factory reset, which will remove anything - and that would be a shame :(

Thanks in Advance :)

HyEnd
[HTC Desire C] Antagonist42:
I'm not sure but you may be able to get some data back by using the sync program on PC.

Also try turning it off, remove the SDCARD and try connecting to PC whilst system is running, this should mount the internal storage (although can't remember if you have to make a screen selection to do so?!) and maybe gain more data back.

Have you tried booting it into recovery? Do so and see if the screen stays on and usable, if so, exit without doing anything (probably a reboot), install TWRP recovery and make a backup to your external SDCard, from there you can do the following:

Wait for phone repair/replace and install your recovery.

Use numerous tools to convert/extract/unpack your recovery images and maybe get all your data out sooner.

The fact the PC is picking up the handset as QCDownload 9008 (I should have quoted or copied that) doesn't bode well, I would only expect that to come up if the handset was in a state ready to be flashed by Qualcomm Tools used to create/edit/install to the phone as a whole or using the official tools. I could be wrong but I've never had mine display as such :what:

Definitely I would install TWRP recovery and make a backup, from there it's wait and reinstall or look into extracting data.

Hope some of this helps ;)
[HTC Desire C] hyend:
Thanks for the advices, I'll try them in the next couple of days. I just have some further questions: I own a Sony Ericsson Neo V and a Galaxy S3 which both required to be rooted to install recovery (I think it was CWM). So to install TWRP root privileges are not necessary? And how do I boot into recovery with this phone? :P I only know the power + volume down combination which should bring the phone into some factory mode where it is possible to do a factory reset.
[HTC Desire C] Antagonist42:
Not had to do it myself in a while but check the Desire C Q&A forum and the General, details will be in there, the other phones ... No idea as different manufacturers can use and operate them differently, it's a search in forums and googling to find out :o
[HTC Desire C] hyend:
Ok, so I installed HTC Sync Manager, connected the device - no reaction, still the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 entry in my device manager on Windows. Tried to start the device (HTC also implemented a restart option if holding the power button for 10 seconds) - nothing happened...

To boot into recovery I would need to boot into bootloader by power + volume down, which is not possible, so the installation of recovery software seems quite unnecessary (but doesn't need root btw).

any other ideas :(
[HTC Desire C] Antagonist42:
If you cannot boot to HBOOT to enter recovery that may explain the QDLoader 9008 displayed. Could be corrupt Hboot and display drivers not being fully installed/run at boot, would take someone with more knowledge on hboot than me :confused:
[HTC Desire C] wilberfish:
I know its basic but have you taken battery out pressed power for 10 secs then tried again?
[HTC Desire C] Antagonist42:
Never heard of that one! I'll bear it in mind ;)
[HTC Desire C] wilberfish:
Seriously, someone on the desire thread couldn't get into hboot and taking the battery out worked!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] VTEChump:
Coming from a NOTE 2, love the NOTE 4 thus far, but the browsing experience is difficult without quick controls.

It's tough to browse with one hand without quick controls. Reaching to the very top of the screen to switch tabs is nearly impossible with one hand. So, how is everybody dealing with this?

I know there are other browsers that offer more convenience, but all that I've tried have poor performance and poor battery life.

Is there anyway to bring back quick controls for the browser? Any other tips?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] icexshinigami:
It seems that quick control was removed awhile ago.

You can enable multi-window, swipe from top right corner down to the bottom left corner to windowize the app.

Also enable the one handed operation side panel.

is it possible to automatically turn on wifi when an app that needs n/w access starts, then turn it off after x minutes of activity? i'd don't want to leave wifi turned on permanently as it kills the battery, but it'd be nice to be able to surf just by opening up PIE and have it handle the connection, just as it currently does with a dialup connection...

[Moto G General] MarckozZ:
Hi guys! :D ​

So, I was wondering about this...

All Moto G will be updated to Lollipop, but there it comes the question: Which update is better for you? The one comming to Google Play Edition Moto G or the one comming to regular average Joe's Moto G? :confused:

​

Because GPE update will have untouched and pure Android from the beginning... But Moto update maybe will have some other interesting features Motorola always add in the formware (we allways remember you, FM Radio!).

I'm not taking into account the date when Google or Motorola release the update, but the features, also considering the difference on the ammount of free RAM that both firmwares have (GPE has less background apps running, like Motorola Services on regular Moto firmware).

For example, this is some Info from Google about this:

About your Moto G Google Play edition

Your Moto G Google Play edition comes with the same software and services as Google’s Nexus devices. This experience includes a variety of features, such as caller ID by Google and more. Certain features and settings on the standard Moto G may not be available on the Google Play edition.

Features not included

FM Radio

Motorola Assist

Motorola Boot Services

Motorola Camera

Moto Care/Help

Motorola Connect

Motorola Device ID

Font

So, which one will you prefer?​
[Moto G General] Semseddin:
I will flash both and decide. After using gpe kitkat firmware for 3 months in my xt1033, i flashed back to stock moto firmware and never looked back.
[Moto G General] MarckozZ:
Man how did you returned to stock ROM? I tried the guide provided here but it doesnt work for me...

I used the GPE version a few times but problem is that GPE has no HDR mode in the camera. and No Moto Audio Effects enhancement that Moto firmware has. So I will wait for the Moto Lollipop version instead
[Moto G General] nirmalbalaji:
I will test both the firmwares for deciding which one suites me best. I have very little or no use of FM Radio but Motorola's Gallery seems better than Google's Photos app. Regarding HDR in Moto Camera its still producing a same quality picture of Google Camera.
[Moto G General] fateh3ro:
I choose Moto G Stock version than GPE version :D

Cause i love Motorola gallery and Motorola assist

And waiting until someone build Custom ROM with Lollipop..
[Moto G General] moralesnery:
Don't forget DALVIK optimization

As far as I know, the stock firmware has some libraries for optimized-use of de dalvik runtime. With Lollipop running only ART, I think that GPE Edition firmware will lose some battery life compared to stock. that, the FM Radio and the Motorola Gallery make me choose Stock ROM
[Moto G General] Semseddin:
Need to mention that Stock rom have better battery endurance than gPE rom.
[Moto G General] eddydc1:
First GPE after motorola version comes i take it
[Moto G General] josip-k:
GPe doesn't have worse battery life than stock for me. Im an normal xt1032 user,and with stock ROM and with GPe ROM(Wich i use right now) the battery life is same. I use Aero Kernel. I couldn't be happier. GPe flashed with custom kernel is a dream come true.
[Moto G General] Ja_som:
For sure I will wait for Moto version.

I had GPE for maybe a week or two, but I flashed Moto FW back, because I missed Moto Cam (HDR and panorama) and FM Radio.

Moto fw on Moto device and nothing else :D
[Moto G General] ca1v1n:
will try both for a week each & will stick with one which has more battery life for my usage

don't need FM so that's not issue for me

also don't find much difference in camera performance on 4.4 lets see how its with 5.0 anyway camera is not super important to me so it won't be the determining factor
[Moto G General] MarckozZ:
That's true, Moto firmware has some little details that make it special and make you choose it rather than GPe... Its true that GPe maybe will get Lollipop first, but the wait still worth it..

Besides, imagine that you are on GPe firmware and you OTA to Lollipop, but then you cant downgrade to 4.4.2 Moto firmware, just like happens when trying to downgrade to 4.3, since it is no possible anymore.. So its better to wait to Moto Lollipop. :fingers-crossed:
[Moto G General] AgentChaos:
Maybe it wont let you downgrade to 4.4.2 but will let you to downgrade to 4.4.4, there are firmware images of 4.4.4

try skipping 2 steps in the process (partition and motoboot) but it is possible that they can block it. since the bootloader will be updated
[Moto G General] BaghiXDA:
Moto's version would be better in some ways but this wifi drop issue since 4.4.4 is driving me nuts and wants me go back to GPe ROM.
