Hello.

I just updated to Lollipop and have noticed something strange with my storage. I have a 32GB Nexus 5, but the storage says I have on 12.55GB of total space.

Since I have wiped the phone to flash it, I have no pictures or other media on the phone. Installed apps are taking up 2.68GB of space. Does that mean Lollipop takes up nearly 20GB on the phone?

Any help with this would be grateful.

Thanks

How do I wipe cache and factory reset / wipe data and storage?

Will I have to go into fastboot to do this?

Ok so Im just expiramenting with a Atrix 4g and ADB to get a little more versed with it and discovered that the rom I flashed is incomplete so it obviously wont boot however I have access to CWM and the device is unlocked. Now this would be so much simpler if I just had a SD card but seeing as I dont there is no way for me to mount sd card... Im just trying to figure out the directory in which I need to push my ROM.zip file so that I can see it in CWM. Right now I have successfully pushed it into my /data/ROM.zip however I cannot access that directory through CWM. Using the ls /DIR/ command I did some delving to see if I can find the root directory that CWM explores but I cant seem to find any of the files that I know exist or directories...

I have a rooted Android device called Lava Iris 405. I am trying to block ads on the phone because my niece plays a lot on my phone and often click on the ads. I heard about uploading a custom hosts file which would block all the ads. I used the following file but it didn't work. I continue to get ads on apps and in browsers as well. Please tell me what I have done wrong. I changed the hosts file below with the original one in the etc folder.

Here is the link of host file I am using.

I had to get a replacement phone because the volume button stopped working.

I don't know if it's just me, but it seems that the display on this new one is very washed out and had a pinkish tint to it... I don't know, it just doesn't look right.

Does anyone else have this issue, or is it all in my head? I am a picky person

UPDATE: I just called Verizon for a replacement with no problems. Hopefully this new one has a fresh screen.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] flyinj54:
Sounds like a display panel issue to me. I would definitely beginning another replacement. I know its a hassle but I that would drive me nuts. I know if you're not happy with it you can have another replacement ship to you. I wouldn't wait too long though get it taken care of as soon as possible
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ironbesterer:
I'm just afraid that they will say since there is nothing wrong with it, they won't give me a replacement or that they will charge me for another one.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ironbesterer:
Unfortunately, when I turned it on, it updated to 4.4.4. That's a bummer.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] flyinj54:
I definitely call them and find out that information for sure. I'm sure if there's an issue with the phone that they'll send you another one free of charge. Just call and explain it to him. You don't know until you ask. Now it specially since you're on the newest firmware you can't root it I would definitely be exploring my options
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ironbesterer:
I may do that.

Also, I just now noticed, but the top of the display bleeds. So I probably will get a replacement.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] maxpower7:
I would definitely get a replacement. This phone has the best LCD I've ever used on a mobile device. Colors are fantastic, whites are white, any there's absolutely no light bleed. It sounds to me like you have a defective unit.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ironbesterer:
I know it does. The screen on my last one was fantastic. I may call support next week and try and get a replacement. I do expect some hassle, though.

In Japan, all phones have the camera sound on full volume by default. ( too many up-skirt pictures I guess ). The only way to turn this off is to root into the phone. However, I have a phone that exists solely in Asia, so all of the rooting forms are in Japanese.

( Now.... I'm not saying that I will beak the law an turn off my camera sound or anything... )

( Just doing this for "learning purposes"..... )

Does anyone here have experience with the Medias N-06E and know how to root it?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamuelGTeague:
Hi, i have a Nexus 5 (as you may have guessed) and was sent the L OTA update last night. After downloadong, i thought I'd check online to see if there was any issues with the update and the L OTA update. I only found one blog/post anywhere that answered my question and it said that it would fail, so I didn't install it.

I have just used the 'full unroot' in SuperSU, and it appears to have worked (root checker says 'Sorry, this device does not have proper root access') but I dont know if this is enough to return my device to stock in a big enough degree to allow the OTA update to work (I have no custom ROM or Recovery, just a stock image which i rooted) So I'd basically like some advice :D And hopefully solve my problem without much issue...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Should be OK. Root itself doesn't cause the fail. Just modified system files. Root gives new system files, not modified existing ones.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamuelGTeague:
So if i had installed a custom ROM/ recovery, would that mess with the OTA update?

If so, then that is a relief, as I thought I would have to flash a stock image and relock the bootloader
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Custom ROM or Recovery cannot accept OTA. if any existing apk or file is missing or different, you also cannot accept an OTA as the OTA checks the "fingerprint" of those files. Adding new files aren't an issue as the OTA doesn't know about them so cannot check the fingerprint.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamuelGTeague:
So as I understand it, with my current set up, the OTA should run and complete. (Sorry if it sounds stupid and repetative, i just cant afford to brick my phone)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It wont brick for modified system files. It will just fail verification. if it's going to brick, it wont be for this reason.

Hi

I have just received by new SPV M700 (Trinity), and am thinking about updating the ROM to the latest Dopod release. Before I do this, I have a few questions that I am hoping someone will be able to answer.

1. What are the main benefits of updating the ROM?

2. Will it invalidate my warranty/Orange Care? and if so, how will they ever know?

3. What does teh Orange ROM have that the Dopod doesn't (other than settings, homescreen)?

4. Other than MMS/data settings is there anything else that I will need to transfer?

5. Is it possible to reinstall the original Orange ROM if I wanted?

6. Will I be able to install future official Orange ROMS when they are released?

7. Is there a guide to installing the ROM, and how easy is it to do?

Sorry if these questions have been answered before but I was struggling to find answers.

Thanks for your help.

[P3600 Software Upgrading] rossy:
I think I already have the latest Orange ROM as only got my phone yesterday. My main reason for updating was to get Phonepad which I believe is included in the Dopod ROM.

Are you able to answer my other questions?

Thanks
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Cyrus Kourosh:
I do not think so.

The ROM was available on the 17th for download. I do not think that it was already installed on the shop phone already.

Just check which version of ROM you have. The one in the download is:

1.23 (with GPS activated) instead of the actual 1.17 (without GPS)

You can find more details about the ROM here (in French):

Concerning the other questions, I prefer that another guy answer, as I did not test by my self yet. :p

I have ROM version 1.23.61.5, which is what was on the phone when I got it.
[P3600 Software Upgrading] Cyrus Kourosh:

Why would you want to change your ROM? Apparently you already have the latest that is available...Your GPS works, so there is nothing to do.

Hello everyone!

The last couple of months I have been working on the game Animal Dismount.

I always liked the original Porrasturvat (Stair Dismount) and its Android version, but all characters were human-like and the same.

I was wondering how this game would look like with ostrich or a goat in the lead role, so I decided to make my own Dismount with blackjack and animals.

Currently 3 characters (ostrich, goat and homosapiens) and 5 demo levels are available.

I'm going to add new characters and levels soon.

I would be grateful for the following information:

1. Found bugs and flaws;

2. Are there any lags and locked up;

3. Performance in fps, video card model (shown in the upper right corner in purple) and the phone model;

4. What else animals in the game would you like to see;

5. Any comments and suggestions.

P.S Sorry for my English.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nexonian:
Hi all,

after upgrading to Lollipop, I have been experiencing a few "glitches" with the screen orientation a couple of times. Even though I've been holding my phone pretty straight upwards, the screen suddenly starts to rotate to landscape mode. Is there a way to recalibrate the gyroscopes (if they are responsible for that)? EDIT: OK, seems that it is actually the accelerometer...

The phone is stock unrooted, only thing is that I am running Nova launcher, could that be an issue? Has anybody else seen this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lanwarrior:
With Samsung devices, turning on device encryption force you to use 6 characters password (alphanumeric), which is troublesome if you use your phone often.

What I found out is that after I set such password, complete the device encryption and go back to the Lock Screen setting, I can change the password to 4 digits.

Going back to encryption setting, it said I can now encrypt the device, but must use 6 characters password. But isn't my phone already encrypted? AFAIK, there is no turning off encryption once it's done.

So at this point, is my phone encrypted or not?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DConrad2010:
The phone is encrypted but like you said you cannot permanently decrypt the phone once the process is completed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] lanwarrior:
Thanks for the info.

I am curious why initially the device requires alphanumeric passwords (which I created), but once encryption is done, I can go back to the "Lock Screen" and change it to just numeric password. I believe this will NOT remove encryption, but for confirmation, want to check if the encryption is still there.

I had to un-encrypt my phone by unrooting via Oden. Once i Odened then you have to do a factory reset and you are un-encrypted for good.

[Sony Xperia ZR] shenlong85:
Hi Guys,

This is FYI if you rooted your phone, did something to your System files and then you got the OTA update, but once you downloaded and hit INSTALL, the system reboot and you got a FAILED!!!!

To debug,

use ES File Explorer or any file system with root access to view your /device.

Open this file the fota log: /cache/recovery/fota/report

Search for ERROR

For me, I've got this error:

which, if you go to === ua_updater_context === section,

You will see where the section ends. For me, I got this:

Which reveals it stops at Home.odex! Ok, I admit I changed my launcher file. So, what to do? Get the Home.odex or any files that you have change and replace it with stock. I am using C5503_10.5.1.A.0.283_Customized_HK.tft which i suppose most apk files are the same.

To get the file from stock tft file,

Download the 10.5.1.A.0.283 tft,

Extract the system.sin using 7zip or any archiving application. Wooping 1.5GB from the 900++mb tft archive.

Open Flashtool.exe > Tools > Sin Editor > Browse your file > Extract Data

Once you got the system.sin, run Ext2Explore as administrator and Copy out your original file. In my case, Home.odex.

Then, I just hit the Update!!! Profit!

Ext2explore 2.1 is attached if you need it. Thanks to Regmi!!!

I've been trying to update from 4.3 to 4.4 (.230) via OTA but i'm also getting failed to update. Because of your post, I was able to find out that it's because i changed the system font (via hifont). I reverted and will try again. Hopefully, it goes well this time. I could just update via pc companion to .283 but i didn't want to wipe my phone and lose root too.

Thanks for this! :good:

[LG Optimus L90] sujitmohanty2012:
I had recently opened a thread here asking the possible cause for the heating up of my phone. After getting it diagnosed at the local service center, I discovered that my 32 GB Sandisk class 10 microsd card is the culprit that is causing the heat-up. Unseating my microsd card from my phone does the following things/improvements:

1. Phone doesn't heatup (isn't prominent with back cover) while playing hd videos & while browsing data

2. Battery lasts longer

After I insert the microsd card, I would notice that my phone would normally heat up below the rear camera & below the ear-piece, as it would previously. I have witnessed my phone getting hot upto 47 °C (under mild to moderate usage) ! That's unbearable.

Possible causes

1. Is the SD card defective ? Please note that... I have noticed this exact issue on two different 32 GB Sandisk Class-10 cards which I own. The local service center told me that your sd card might have short-circuited & would be causing the heat-up. They couldn't test it since I hadn't take it there.

2. Is the android indexing service running constantly & triggering the heat up?

Some Additional Info:

1. Most of the data in my sd card are multimedia files/ android apks

2. while taking out the concerned card from it's original adapter/reader(inserted in my pc) , after copying,say 6-7GB of data, I had also witnessed it getting really warm. Is this normal ?

3. A similar concern here can also give you a better idea

Can anybody please confirm & tell if this is a known issue with large capacity sandisk high capacity cards (16GB>) so that I can switch to a sd card of a different make that most of you use & recommend or should i purchased a lower capacity sdcard?

Any other workaround that will likely work (formatting the card on the phone instead of PC/ using custom rom)
[LG Optimus L90] fear2433:
Some more info please.

1. What if SD card is freshly formated. (not quick format). An empty SD card still causes it?

2. Did you install any software like Xposed module or SD mount? Or have you swapped internal mem for SD card? (Some do it)

3. Does stock ROM also cause it?

4. Use move to phone option in the app. Move media to internal memory. Play it. Still heat?

I own 16 GB Trascend. No issue.
[LG Optimus L90] sujitmohanty2012:
thank u for taking the time to write back :) Coming to your questions, I will answer them in the order they are numbered

1. I haven't tried inserting an empty SD card & check if this issue comes up

2. No I don't have any xposed module installed but I do have an app installed called "folder mount" but I have disabled it from starting up automatically (on boot/ when network connectivity changes)

3. Ya..all this I have witnessed on stock v10d ROM & I haven't installed any custom rom on my current phone yet.

4. I will try doing that but that won't be a fix because my video library won't fit in there :(

I would like to also add here that a day before I took my phone to the service centre, I was at a friend's house where he had deliberately put his 16 GB microsd card (Transcend Class 10, in this case) so that we could check if the phone heated up & surprisingly IT DIDN'T !

We had tried playing a full hd vid in mx player at full volume & brightness for 4-7 mins & there was no sign of heating.

Did this happen because the card was of 16 GB & had considerably less videos/ because card was of different make?

I don't have own a 16GB card personally since my previous phone was a moto g & before that I owned a P500 (optimus one) in which I put a Transcend 8GB class IV card.
[LG Optimus L90] fear2433:
Still cant know if its a software problem or a hardware problem until you test all of the above.

Does folder mount make your SDcard the internal memory?

Internal memory is heavily accessed by all Apps.

A 32 gb sd card will have twice the address length compared to a 16GB. At high speeds and at a high access rate, it may lead to a problem.

If you did swap SD an internal storage functions, you should consider switching back.

SD fix in Xposed module gives you full access to SD card. I think it is better than folder mount.

I do not own any 32 GB card of any company and hence cannot comment on hardware.
[LG Optimus L90] sujitmohanty2012:
no it doesn't! it just makes mounts the app data so that the respective app understands it's in the internal memory. I haven't installed that xposed module for swapping external sd as internal memory yet but yes..I do have full write access to my sd card by installing SDfix app from playstore.

I think, I should insert a freshly formatted sd card (as u recommended), move current data to internal memory, test & then report here. Let me see how it goes.
[LG Optimus L90] sorabh.v6:
I also have the same issue, mine is 16 gb sandisk sdhc card. Please let me know any work around.

Thanks
[LG Optimus L90] sujitmohanty2012:
does it get as warm as that of mine? pls monitor the temp using a coolify and share ur details. is the principal content of your sd card : video? have you tried testing it with a sd card of a different make (transcend/strontium/kingston/sony/samsung etc)?
[LG Optimus L90] sorabh.v6:
Yes while playing video on YouTube, playing games, it heats up and drain battery very quickly. Right now i m traveling so cannot do any sort of testing. But during travel, within 2 hrs of music listening using ear phones, it drained 10% battery.
