[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
This happens to me once in a while when I pour beer in my usb port. (don't ask me how). When it charges slowly, check the battery stats in the settings menu and see if it charges by usb. If so, then that's the reason why it charges so slowly.

Buy some 99% alcohol and clean it using a tooth brush.

If it still charges slowly, then flash a custom kernel so you can enable faster charging true usb. Ktoonz kernel for example. When you flashed that kernel you have a Ktoonz settings app where you can select faster charging true usb.

After you charged it a few times, you can probably flash back the old kernel and the problem should be solved.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lomingchun:
Wondering if anyone can help me with rooting my phone. I followed the instructions from infysim on rooting a nexus 6.

After I restarted my phone and went into SuperSU it gave me the message "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem! If you just upgraded to android 5.0, you need to manually re-root."

How do I manually re-root my phone or fix the issue? I've tried re-flashing the SuperSU.zip in recovery but it didn't make a difference

*Edit: I re-ran cf auto root and it worked. I tried deleting this thread but couldn't find an option to.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3chn0vamp:
Hello Everyone !

I updated my Nexus 4 to Android Lollipop 3 days ago and soon after I realized that it was a mistake and now I am stuck! I am facing all kinds of problems with it. Below is a list.

1. Pulse notification light is dead! Its not working for anything (missed calls, messages, app notifications etc...). Before the update it was working fine. I have checked all settings related to notifications. Pulse notification light option is on.

2. Sometimes I am not able to change the use Picture. It gives me the option to pick an image then crop and then it does nothing!

3. Many apps are crashing and have torn up UI after launch. I have attached a screenshot of PlayerPro UI

4. Many times I get an error pop up saying 'Android UI is not responding' which is weird because I don't have many applications installed or running.

I have tried resetting my device to its factory settings 3 times since the Lollipop update but I don't see any improvements. This is probably the worst Android Update released by Google since the evolution of Android. I never had problems when I updated to Kitkat but now, it has become my worst nightmare.

Is anyone else facing the same problems with Lollipop? Is there a way to go back to Kitkat, if yes then will I be receiving OTA updates in future? My device is not Rooted.

Thanks. :)

relax bro,**** happens:p

i'm running lrx21t (sideloaded) and haven't (luckily) experienced any major issue.

but from what i've heard,many weird issues have arisen,more so on nex5

but this is to be expected with an overhaul of this magnitude..

hang in,google should take care of it in MR1

to downgrade,sideload factory image of kitkat 4.4.4 occam available at the google dev site

u dont need root,just an unlocked bootloader and adb n sdk tools

complete guide can be found in other threads and multiple other sites

also there are videos on youtube specifically detailing the procedure

PLEASE NOTE UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER CAUSES SYTEM WIPE-u wil lose all your data

always back-up before flashing/sideloading any file

if u r stock,u should get ota

i'm not responsible if u brick ur phone due to any procedure...ur phone,ur decision

hit thanks if this helps u :);)

Does anyone have any suggestions for either a general grip tape or grip skin for the N6? I'm looking for some type of thin grippy tape to put on my qi charger to keep the N6 in place, and also am considering looking for some type of actual grippy skin for the back of the phone. So far, I haven't really found anything. The grip tape doesn't have to be specifically for a phone.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] XorZone:
You can get plastidip and spray it over, it will provide good grip. As for the grippy case, I bet Cruzerlite Bugdroid will be good paired with plastidip. *http://amzn.com/B00P0HJ46O

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porkenhimer:
I understand what you are trying to do, but I'll give you an alternative. If you have XBMC installed, install the pushbullet addon, then you can send videos or any media to your Fire TV instantly. The good thing is that you can send videos from your browser or any other app that shares and you do not have to worry about being conncted to the same router, cause it is all done using your Gmail account. I guess some people still do not know what pushbullet is, but its basically a service to share things between your devices instanly through your email account. All you have to do is install the pushbullet app on your device, signin with your gmail and then you can recieve or send things to and from all your devices that have pushbullet installed.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ExKingB12:
I'm completely baffled as to why touch doesn't work on this mega I have. Someone close to me wanted me to fix it but, during the process I have run into a block I can't just figure out.

Ok, the person that had this before me said they dropped it somewhere and, supposedly, the touch stopped working. They took it to some shop and some person there managed to get it to work, but the person that owned the phone couldn't pay for it. The previous owner said that the shop owner said that something came loose. Well, since there was no payment, the shop person that fixed it returned it to "previous condition" and problem is still not fixed.

Now, I have it and I have looked the phone over. THERE ARE NO CRACKS OR SCRATCHES ON THE SCREEN. None at all. Which is what baffles me. If that person dropped the phone it must have been just on the sides and not the screen. Anyways, I've went into the phone and disconnected just about every ribbon cable that i can see and reconnected it and the touch still doesnt work. Also, using a mouse, i went into the phone and checked what version thing(i dont know) they were using and it said 4.4.2. Could this be a update issue?

I did follow that one "fix" that was supposed to work in case there was no touch after some update with mega, using megafire and something else, but that didnt work either so I just dont know now.

Anyone have ideas on what I should do?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] davidrwhite:
Greetings!

If it is a software issue and not a hardware issue then TWRP recovery should work since it isn't dependent on a ROM's software.

I have a non-OEM replacement screen (and it has a crack it it also) on my MEGA 6.3 and my touchscreen stopped working about 3 months ago when I tried to update the CyanogenMod 11 ROM by silesh. Apparently the OEM screens do not work with the most current builds, but TWRP and PhilTouch recoveries both continue to work.

If you can flash TWRP 2.8.1 or any TWRP recovery onto the phone from a PC usinf ODIN you should be able to boot to recovery and see if the touchscreen works there.

If it does you just need to find a ROM built on the old kernel (I am guessing this is the issue) and use that instead of a ROM based on the latest kernel.

For me that meant switching to the AOSP ROM (build is 20140720) and using Xposed to add back in some of the functionality missing from the AOSP ROM that is included by default in the CyanogenMod ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-mega/development/rom-aosp-t2898144/post55895238#post55895238 is the thread of the AOSP build

AOSP is still KitKat 4.4.4 it is just a more stripped down version of the build compared to some of the other ROMs out there.

For you, I really think you need to know if it is a hardware or software problem. If TWRP recovery doesn't have a touchscreen then my guess is that points to a hardware problem. If it does work, then you need to find a software solution to the problem.

Hopefully this is a good way for you to do some troubleshooting. If the AOSP build is no longer available for download let me know in a PM and we can figure out a way to get it to you if you get that far.

[Sprint LG G3] garwynn:
With ZV6 appearing to come out tomorrow, the following is already known and worth noting:

Stump Root - The current posted version does not work. This may be addressed at some time down the road but it will probably be as they have time. If you want ZV6 with root, you'll want to wait for a version that allows you to update up from ZV4 while keeping it.

Bump - Indications are that it still works.

Hopefully getting this out there now will help people make informed decisions. Thank you.
[Sprint LG G3] aheeejd:
What about those who used stump root to gain root when it came out, just root, no custom recovery. I think it was like a month, month & a 1/2 & then bump came out? I mean does using bump supercede stump, so now I am bumped, & not stumped & bumped lol. This making any sense?

Sent from my SPH-L900 using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2
[Sprint LG G3] _Dennis_:
Huh?

These are two completely different things.

Stump is a root method.

Bumped is a broader bootloader bypass.

You need root to bump, and stump is the only way to root the LS990.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalculatedRisk:
On boot press and hold the volume rocker to get into the bootloader. Then use the volume rocker and power button to select recovery, and wipe the cache with the stock recovery using the volume rocker and power button also. There should be video tutorials on YouTube also :)

Hello guys,

I have the same problem. After I updated my Nexus 4 my system cannot load. It stucks only on boot screen with flying dots. I dont want to do wipe/erase data. What is wrong please? I tried wipe cashe, but nothing happend with this bug. I have so a lot of dirty words on this s.... :eek:

yep, did wipe cache and it did not work. Had to factory reset. Didn't lose anything too important (e.g. photos and contacts backed up in the cloud), lesson learned though: back stuff up, esp. before before touching and upgrading the OS. Also used this as a chance to flash cyanogenmod :)

Nice! Did you already have debug mode enabled to be able to use adb? Or am I missing something here (I'm a noob :) )
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] francobanman:
No, all you need to do is connect the phone to the computer, get into Recovery at startup, select to install a zip file. At this pount you need to run adb sideload from command and it should take care of itself. You have to rename the file to update.zip. For this to work you do need the right drivers.

you don't necessarily need Ubuntu 14.04. You could do just fine on 12.04 or 13.10 or whatever.

[ONE General] Snottierwhale:

[ONE General] Quasar:
Nice guide!

Umm.... As far as I know, it isn't necessary to croot...

And it seems to compile fine with just . build/envsetup.sh && brunch bacon.

Just my two cents. :)
[ONE General] Nburnes:
Exactly this.

Croot "change root (directory)" is unneeded when you're already in the root directoy.

. build/envsetup.sh
breakfast bacon
brunch bacon

is more than than enough. This will automatically allocate to cores as is needed and compiles the flashable zips. Silly to make the build with make -j*of cores* and then make otapackage when one command will do both for you.

On the grounds of repo sync, inputting it just like that "repo sync" runs on 4 threads with -c already which is more than fast enough for people.

As for the platform tools, those are all installable through Ubuntu's apt repositories.

niall@niall-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install android

[ONE General] GRMrGecko:
I completely forgot to add the java install into the guide.
[ONE General] GRMrGecko:
Thanks for the input. I had an understanding on what I was doing as far as envsetup.sh setting the environment for the commands for croot, breakfast, ect and that breakfast builds the make configuration somewhat like how configure on many other software. But I never took the time to go about and research as I wanted to make a working build and had issues using Debian. I thought that I will share what I did and just make a general resource for people to come to and get help with building as I only saw build instructions here and there in the Lollipop discussions.

I have incorporated your feedback into the instructions and I am testing the re-build now with your commands to verify that they work the way they are.
