[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] d^.:
Hi all, my Nexus has an issue with the rotation of the screen. I've done some googling and downloaded the check my android app. The sensors missing are 1, 3 and 5. I have tried the following:

1. Factory reset the device

2. Attempted the pressure press on the 'n' and 's'

3. Opened the tablet and tried the tape and cardboard fix

4. Reseated the cable that I understand controls the orientation

I've done extensive research on the problem but no luck.

None of these options worked. I have contacted Asus but I'm pretty sure my warranty is up. How can I fix this please?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] nicknick:
Hi,

Temporary solution for me: reboot in safe mode and test if orientation sensor works. If it does, reboot again in normal mode and you'll be fine ... But only for some time, as in a day or two rotation failed again.

To boot into safe mode, long press power button until power off message appears on screen, then long press button on screen until boot to safe mode button appears.

Hope it helps!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] iTz.Ranga:
My n7 does that as well,

Truthfully All I do to fix it is (yes restart but that is annoying), just rotate it to where you want it, and give it a firm, but soft tap along the side of the device.

I found it wakes up the sensors and allows them to operate again

Hope this helps
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mr. phillip:
Hi. It's a fairly common issue with our Nexus7.

My rotation sometimes get stuck also, so i installed an app called "Adaptive Rotation Lock" and problem solved.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] d^.:
So I've tried the safe mode, no good. I also tried the soft tap, no good. Even using adaptive rotation lock does not work. I'm thinking this is a hardware issue. l will have to call ASUS as the email support was complete ****. Thanks for the help all the same.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Cares:
Assuming you do not have the rotation lock setting enabled I think I have a solution for you.

I had this same issue and I literally tried for 3 months trying to fix it. I finally found some obscure website with a fix. It involved opening up your tablet and basically "securing" one of the cables. After I did that I have not had a rotation problem anymore.

http://blog.daum.net/enue81/2
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] d^.:
I seen that in my travels and tried to implement the same fixes, as it is in Chinese or something similar I tried to interpret what he did.

I used black electrical tape to secure the cable ends, then used a similar tape to secure the cable down, unfortunately that didn't work but there's every chance I did it wrong.

Can you please explain what you used?

I've also tried following these two youtube videos:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Cares:
I didn't use anything. I just basically "pushed" the cables in more even though they did not appear to be loose or anything. It definitely did the trick. YMMV though.

Apologies if this has been asked and answered before - I have scoured the forums and may have missed it. I was wondering if the technique used here for the Ace works with the Ace 2 to make a binary of the OS and look through it for the network unlock code..?

I did try the

cat /dev/block/bml5>/sdcard/bml5.img

using the Terminal Emulator but it says the directory/file doesnt exist. Is there a different path on the Ace2?

Thanks a lot for any info.

[One (M8) Accessories] dante020:
I have the same protector (from Amazon). It works great and the lens protectors are good too. if the Ebay one is the same then I'd say that's the one you want.
[One (M8) Accessories] Lopan12:
I had one HTC rep say with conviction (I asked like 5 times in 3 different ways...) that there was no coating or film or treatment on the camera lens...validity is up in the air...I think it's just a by product of manufacturing processes.

I know for diving masks, you HAVE to clean the glass on the inside (usually suggested is gritty toothpaste), otherwise, anti-fog solutions that are applied will not work at all. Best I can gather, it's a film that makes handling the glass by machines easier. Wonder if that's what it is....

It certainly hasn't been doing any sort of scratch protection. It wipes off...so it's not like it was stopping hard particles or anything...
[One (M8) Accessories] SOEBOMB:
I ordered the screen and lends protector from the above link I'll post if the results are good or not . Also about the coating I heard it's a thin protection and also for glare when taking photos. Idk what's true or not just read a few diff post and that's what I got.
[One (M8) Accessories] Lopan12:
Yeah...I read those posts, and I think that 'info' was pulled outta someone's rear...If I cared more, I might ask a few different CS reps...but....

Hello,

I currently have a 4.4.2 LUX version of android sold with the S4 in Belgium.

Can I install with ODIN another country android like UK on my device?

Kind regards,

Ivy
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hemanthkp:
Yes you can install it as long as it is 4.4.2 version.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivybec:
also downgrade?

Hello,

My S4 I9505 4.4.2 LUX keeps restarting frequently :mad:

I reinstalled the official 4.4.2 LUX with ODIN... same problem

I am thinking of downgrading to 4.3

I am currently downloading 4.3 LUX, but it takes many hours at 10 - 20 KB/s for a 1.5 GB ZIP to download... unless I want to pay for a faster service :silly:

I find it unbelievable of Samsung of NOT SOLVING the 4.4.2 S4 restart problem.

Unbelievable that the android S4 versions 4.2.2, 4.3, 4.4.2 are not available on an official Samsung service site!!

So I am thinking/hoping that a German or UK version of 4.3 is available for faster download (MEGA, ...)

A not so happy Samsung customer,

Ivy
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfbatista:
Sites like http://samfirmware.com/ and http://sammobilecom/ are official.

Don't downgrade to 4.3 version, unless you don't mind to trip knox flag.

Instead of it, try to do a factory reset and see if the problem persists, if so go to a service center.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivybec:
I did a factory reset and the problem still persists.

I had a chat with the Samsung "support" and they do not know about the problem...

Just google: random-reboot-problem

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivybec:
at Sam Mobile and Sam Firmware (same site) one has to PAY for a decent download!

What a shame Samsung
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivybec:
As pfbatista mentioned it is not OK to downgrade to 4.3.

So, I will try another country and more recent 4.4.2.

I am downloading a German DBT version: I9505XXUGNG8_I9505YBTGNG8_DBT

Hopefully my S4 will stay alive and not restart every now and then with this version...

I keep you posted

Hello Marcello,

Thank you for the link!

I don't know if the problem is also on I9500.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivybec:
I did not have any unwanted restarts anymore

Hello,

Since my re-installation of android 4.4.2 (black edition = latest version?) a DBT (German free version) instead of the Belgian LUX (Belgium free version), I did not have any unwanted restarts :)

Maybe the new version (black edition) solves some problems (I don't see any difference with my previous version though)

Or, this time, I flushed caches and the S4 was reformatted... that probably solved the problem.?

Kies 3 sees the DBT version as genuine :D

Hopefully the end of my Samsung misery,

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkyHero:
Hi all,

The device I am using is an Xperia Z C6603 with a locked bootloader that cannot be unlocked.

I have installed a Paranoid android rom and flashed a stock kernel afterwards as I heard that I need to use a stock kernel as I have a locked bootloader? Unfortunately this does not work and my phone is now unusable as I get many error messages popping up, as I have shown in the attached pictures.

I would like to describe the steps I have taken to arrive at this which will hopefully show where I have gone wrong.

First of all, my Xperia Z was running on 4.4. 4 stock (.283 I think), so I flashed the .230 kernel and rooted with easy root tool. Then I flashed the. 283 kernel back and installed SuperSu and updated binaries. Then I installed XZDualRecovery from this page - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2261606

After this, I did a factory reset in recovery, wiped cache and dalvik cache. I then flashed the latest Paranoid Android rom from this link - http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/orig-development/rom-paranoidandroid-4-4-t2641576 I then flashed the full Gapps and SuperSu afterwards. After doing this, my phone would not boot so I flashed the .283 kernel. Then my phone would boot but it was unusable due to the many error messages popping up, as shown in the attached pictures.

I would be extremely grateful if somebody could help me figure out where I went wrong and how I can have a working custom rom in my phone.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Darkyhero

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidfreak70:
There is no custom ROMs that has stock kernel. Only stock based ROMs has stock kernels. Stock based ROMs means the same stock ROM you are running right now but with some tweaks and some mods. Or ports included. You can find them in the Xperia Z Development Section. Any ROM with [LB/UB] tag so it's stock based. And will work fine or locked bootloader.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richy99:
no it is not possible, anything other than stock requires a custom kernel which requires an unlocked bootloader to work on the Z
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidfreak70:
No. You cannot. Because any AOSP custom ROM will need a custom kernel. And the custom kernel will not work on locked bootloader.

There is a huge difference between SP and Z.

I rooted my GT-i8552 and installed CW recovery mode with stock rom, and everthing worked well. When I factory resetted my device from security and backups, everytime the device is rebooting in CW recovery mode, no sign of OS, everything is gone, I think, because no matter I remove battery and restart device, it is booting into recovery mode only. So I tried to unroot and install stock rom using Odin, but in every PC I've tried, it is showing "driver installation fail" even after re-installing software properly.

So what to do in this case?

I want to install stock rom again.

Any help?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] freitaz:
If you are in CWM recovery, you can flash a zip file of any custom rom. If you aren't, you don't have other option than flash firmware with Odin. Ensure that your PC is connected and let it search on internet for drivers, and it shall be recognized... or install Kies, this program ships drivers for Samsung devices

What to do now?
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] freitaz:
You should pick another rom, this one is unstable and a lot of things don't work. Trust me.

You can safely ignore this.

Use Odin to reflash CWM, and tick the option "Auto Reboot". It will solve the bootloop.
