Hello everyone.

I have an Alcatel One Touch 908F running Android 2.2.2 that I chose to root and install a 2.3 ROM since no official update was released and it had a lot of advantages that I really need. I successfully rooted it with VROOT, install a CWM 5.0.2.7 recovery and flashed two custom ROMs based on 2.2.2 (the one for Alcatel One Touch 908S WIND, and the one for Alcatel One Touch 908Q T-Mobile) just for testing.

Both successfully worked with no problems at all (except the fact that Back, Home and Menu changed their places but it was fixed by flashing a tool that I found on this forum - Thank you so much, developers!) so I wanted to flash a 2.3 ROM, but I didn't realize that it wasn't approprite (It was only for Alcatel One Touch Telenor, and the worst: it wasn't told in the instructions!). I knew it when, once my phone booted for the 1st time, it showed the "Telenor" logo reversed on top, and white lines at the bottom of the screen. So I reverted back to my stock ROM using a backup made with CWM.

I got the stock ROM again. Only now, neither the touchscreen nor the lighting Home, Menu and Back keys are working! Hitting the screen acts like hitting the Menu button!

I tried many ROMs, and it didn't work. Well, the good thing is that I still have root access, USB debugging enabled and CWM 5.0.2.8 recovery.

I'm really desperate. My phone is out of warranty. Is my phone really as useful as a brick, now? I hope it isn't. Can you help me, please? I urgently need my phone to work again because I can't afford to buy a new one or repair it! Is there any software that can bring my only smartphone back to life? Shall I switch to TWRP recovery? Which ROM shall I flash?

Thank you so much in advance for your help!

UP... (Since there was no reply for so long...)

I see, it is not a popular model :rolleyes:

I found out that the problem can be solved by flashing the stock kernel which contains the original touchscreen drivers needed to make it work again, but I couldn't find the file. Can anyone upload it for me, please? If this is not the right way,

Does anyone have another, please? Thank you!
[General Questions and Answers] AlfasMP:
Flash everything ( including ROM , boot.img etc. ) created for your device . It will solve the problem .

As a warning, don't flash other device's firmware , until you became a porter or using an Android one :sly:

Hope I helped !

How do i regain root? I am still able to access TWRP.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timduru:
It depends what happened.

If you still have SuperSu in your apps, just launch it and see what it says, sometime it needs to update the binaries to be compatible with the app.

If it's the boot / init script that are not there anymore, you can simply reflash the rom, it will add them back.

Hello

I'm suffering connection problems with my S4 for over 3 months now. I've tried everything including switching to Cyanogenmod and back to original, factory resets, other simcards, ....

Sometimes my phone works perfectly and then suddenly I can't receive calls/make calls or send text/receive text messages. the only thing that keeps working is Edge/3G.

When i then try to call someone, it says 'Mobile network not available' although I see my carrier at the bottom of that notifications panel.

The service state says: speech:not in use data:in use or sometimes it says out of service and I have no network at all (except Edge/3G)

When i switch to flight mode and back sometimes the problems are solved for a short while but not always...

I'm desperate to get this solved and I lost my warranty because I flashed Cyanogenmod :/ any ideas?

Thanks

Select Sony Xperia firmware appears to contain Baidu spyware

Select Sony Xperia firmware appears to contain Baidu spyware

by XB on 28/10/2014

in Problems

Xpeira Baidu_2Are you running a Sony Xperia handset with KitKat firmware? Then you may want to check your internal storage for a folder called “Baidu”. It appears that certain Android 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 firmware contains this folder, which is part of the stock build. The folder cannot be deleted, even if you try it will reappear once again shortly after.

Strangely, the folder appears to be created by Sony’s “my Xperia” service each time a network connection is switched on. Unfortunately, unticking the app from Device Administrators does not solve the issue. Neither does starting the phone in Safe Mode. The only temporary workaround is to block the MyXperia app from starting by using an “adb shell” command.

What is quite concerning regarding this development, is that through this process, the phone is making several pings to Chinese servers. Yet, we don’t know what information is being communicated. Sony recently escalated this to its internal teams and recently outlined the following message on its support forum:

“This folder will be removed in future software updates for the phone. Until then I can only advise that you delete it manually after a reboot if you want to remove it. It’s safe to just delete it.”

This is obviously a very serious issue, we noticed the “Baidu” folder on both new Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact handsets. Sony needs to communicate how this app appeared in the first place and to reveal what information is being gathered. At least, Sony has a fix on the way. As soon as we hear any more we’ll let you know.

A “baidu” folder appears in a number of stock Sony Xperia KitKat firmware builds

[IMG="baidu connection"]http://static.xperiablog.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Xpeira-Baidu_1-315x559.png[/IMG]

This folder is connected to Sony’s “my Xperia” location service and is regularly pinging with Chinese servers

Baidu folder keeps getting created on Android 4.4.4

Thanks for posting this rfg13.

I had had an unlocked Xperia ZL (C6506) for close to 9 months. The phone kept getting hotter and hotter constantly trying to connect to some service but I wasn't sure which one it was at that time. At the end, the phone totally fried. I wasn't able to charge it with any cable, charger or outlet.

I sent it in to the Sony Repair Service (in Texas), after I got an RMA number through the Tech Support department in Puerto Rico. I got various excuses from Tech Support, e.g. "we told you it was going to take 3 working weeks but it's been only 2 so far" and others!

Finally after 6 weeks, I received a brand-new ZL from them. I upgraded the OS via OTA to Android 4.4.2 and then 4.4.4. And that's when all the problems started again. The phone kept connecting to Baidu servers as rfg13 mentioned. For me that was happening on a constant basis but only when on LTE in California. I would then delete the Baidu folder created (sometimes every 3 minutes!) I would then disconnect my LTE and connect to my WiFi, under which the Baidu folder would not get created.

I uninstalled all of my 200 apps, sometimes one at a time. It took a couple of weeks, and finally I was down to none installed. The same issue kept occuring. I then performed a factory data reset to no avail. The phone kept connecting to Baidu servers, the Baidu subdirectory kept getting created on the internal SD, the phone kept rebooting every 3-5 minutes and it kept overheating. For 2 weeks I didn't do anything on the phone and kept using a rooted Nandroid HTC HD2 that I have for backup purposes.

I spoke to Tech Support a few times but these guys don't seem to know what's going on! I finally got fed up and rooted my phone yesterday (by coincidence). I'm on Android 4.3 now and I didn't see the Baidu folder on my SDCard0. I originally tried the firmware 10.4.B.0.569 which performed better in terms of battery life and phone temperature, as well as the Enterprise Service not starting (in Security | Device administrators).

I got greedy and flashed the 10.4.1.B.0.101 firmware (still Android 4.3) since it's newer. The Baidu folder still didn't get created, but I noticed the Enterprise Service getting selected after rebooting, although I turn it off (uncheck it.) I have a feeling it might be related to info flying to obscure servers on the net. I will keep monitoring it and I will post my findings. Hopefully, this firmware if malware-free!
[Sony Xperia ZL] coolrevi:
It is actually created by Myxperia. as per an article stated in xperia blog. in order to remove it completely you have to block the myxperia app using adb. baidu is no longer appearing in my zl

Baidu folder doesn't get created after downgrading to Android 4.3 stock ROM

The Baidu folder doesn't show up any more after downgrading from Android 4.4.4 down to the 4.3 stock ROM for my C6506 and rooting. This is good news. :o Of course My Xperia service as well as the Sony Enterprise Service are still running persistently. The "pm block" commands to block those give an error. I need to upgrade my ADB drivers at this point and see how those work out.

I don't currently have a SIM on my Nexus 7 32GB 3G, so it's constantly on Airplane mode. However, these times are really weird, especially when I only use it about an hour or two a day nowadays. Is anyone able to point me in the direction that I need to go to find out the root cause of this battery drain?

Running CM10.2.1. Previously this battery statistics were also observed when I was running ParanoidAndroid.

Well.. I have a problem that is: When I try to get the CM11 with CWM i got Error (Status 7) but managed to fix it by deleting the very first line in the updater-script.

Now I start to get Error (Status 6) and I don't know why.

I have the lastest Recovery and Im trying to flash the lastest SNAPSHOT edition of CM11.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallman43:
Status 7 is normally caused by the updater script and can be solved by using latest cwm recovery or try Twrp or PhilZ recovery.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brokenn:
Okay, thanks. I thought about using TWRP, but PhilZ Recovery.. I'll try it.

Just fixed my phone because I bricked it again and I literally have no idea how. (Most probably one of the common S3 bugs)

And about the CWM version, I had the lastest one but as I said above, I'll try the other 2.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brokenn:
No better.. Ive checked and I have the codename for it as "m0", I had the lastest versions of these Recoveries and the right versions for CM11 and Hypermax, still no clue why it doesnt work..

Ill reinstall my PC and Ill try the Windows Installer for CM11 maybe it'll work, too bad its a hassle to try that installer on XP (since Im using a pretty old laptop with XP and Linux atm)

Ill let u know about everything releated to this since there might be others with the same problem.

This was the second time I tried flashing a ROM but I get to learn things fast since Im very experienced with IT releated stuff

Hi to all , i'm a new user of TYTN .

I always use it as a modem to surf the web via BT in conjunction with my laptop.

My question is : there is a way to defaul the wireless modem to BT ( it default to usb ) when start the program and ( maybe ) the program starts automatically without select MENU>START....

ALSO : i saw that the internal modem work also when the device is into sleep mode and without starting the wireless modem but in this case the connection hang after few minutes ( i think the BT connection to the PC hang ).

If the device is in active state the internal modem work too and fine but if no data is exchanged for a while the device goes to sleep without advice then connection hang.

No problem using the wireless modem .

Again ... there is a way to add the internet sharing via PAN BT like hermes' brothers ( P3600) ???

thx in advance

Greeting from Italy :)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jcolley:
I'm having the same problem, also in Italy on TIM. I have tried two different SIM cards, different data plans, and can not find any pattern to the disonnects. If the connection sits idle, it will suddenly stop passing traffic. I have at times been able to keep the connection active by running a game (WoW) in the background on my laptop, but as soon as I the game quits due to timeout (not playing), the connection gets "stale" and dies. Other times, the game will not keep the connection active either. The time it stays active is inconsistent as well. Sometimes when I connect, I get no received packets, only sent. If I disconnect/reconnect 4 or 5 times, usually I will get a good connect and be able to open a web page. I do find it is worse in the daytime than in the evenings, but this is not always true.

BTW, I'm on a TyTn, MacBook Pro w/ the modem script linked from the wiki.

Any ideas?

Be cautious but use a pin. Press the point into the plastic of the sim card GENTLY until it goes into the plastic a little. Use the pin as a lever to push the SIM out. The reason this is save is that the chip of the sim is only under the metal gold part, not the plastic.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magboduh:
Hello fellow flashers,

I'm having a strange problem with my Note 3 variant. It seems that whenever I use a custom ROM/firmware, I receive complaints of an echo on end of the recipient. This does not seem to be the case when I use the stock ROM/firmware that originally came with the phone (simply selecting the Clear Sound setting in the Phone app gets rid of it) or using a pair of earbuds with a built-in remote. As I would much rather use an "as close to AOSP as possible" ROM/firmware and not have to insert my earbuds everytime I receive a call, I am looking to find a solution if anybody else has had a similar problem. I have tried a few solutions I have found online but they did not work . This seems to affect any sort of ROM/firmware I have used such as MIUI, CyanogenMod, AOKP, Carbon, and SlimKat to name a few so I am relatively surprised that I haven't seen anyone with similar troubles such as myself. Any help would greatly be appreciated, thank you in advance!

If you need any information on my phone, please don't hesitate to ask if you think it may help me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magboduh:
Following up on my own post:

Regardless of if the noise reduction setting is on or off, or if Samsung's custom call sounds option is on, it does not seem to help the issue. Now I'm think that their is a problem with the hardware as any firmware/ROM that I flash is having this issue. I know that it isn't the case, even though the Otterbox Defender is bulky, it does have the appropriate holes over the two microphones on the Note. I have tried calling without the case on and it doesn't do the trick to back that up. Here is some more information on my phone, for anybody that wants it:

Me too, I opened up the board, and if I press hard on the camera connector part and open,it sometimes works, so I tried adding a little bit of padding behind it, so still it isn't working. Even the flashlight app is working so I think it might be a software or connector or mother board issue because sometimes the camera pens up fine,so definetly its a very mysterious problem. My camera actually stopped working while I was using Camera FV 5... While using te screen just turned white with some green lines,,, I thought it might be a bug and restarted the app.. But then i got the "cant connect to camera" error for the first,, from then it has continous.. :( :(

[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elrondolio:
I assume it'll be no different than the Chromecast, Roku3, etc. If you subscribe to a DNS service that provides US termination (unblock US, adfreetime, etc) and put those provided DNS addresses either in the Nexus Player (if that'll be an option, we'll have to wait and see) or directly in your router, you'll be able to receive US content. The Roku3 doesn't support changing its DNS server addresses but using the router to do so works a treat. Even better, if you have a higher end router with custom firmware you can redirect only specific web services to use those US DNS services via dnsmasq, such as netflix, hulu plus, cbs, etc, while keeping the majority of your DNS traffic with your normal local ISP or public DNS anonymizing services.
