[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cheetohz:
Stuck in traffic, going for a leisurely stroll. There's plenty of times where I want to get my messages and respond but for some reason I am occupied. Voice calls are great, but SMS and email is just all too convenient for others.

Are there any tricks, via apps or other means that will announce and read incoming messages, and also be able to send a response? Voice typing these days is leaps and bounds ahead of where it was a few years ago. What do I need to make this possible?

[AT&T LG G3] ronsno:
First a question, is there any advantage to USB tether versus wi-fi tethering? For example better connection?

Second I want to have an icon on my home page that I can press and it will connect to USB tethering, not wi-fi tethering (that I can do). Any suggestions?

I've tried Tasker and it says that this option is not available. I've also tried many of the tether apps and widgets and can't find one that works.

I'm connecting to a Parrot Asteroid Smart and have it working with an auto connect to wi-fi tethering.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorango27:
Hello all. I want to first apologize if this isn't the proper place for this question. Please move to the proper place if that is the case.

I have a very weird issue with the new google calendar app. There are only 3 contacts that the app does not show the picture in the birthday calendar. These same 3 also can not be tapped to "wish a happy birthday".

I've tried clearing the data through Settings/apps/downloaded-calendar-clear data.

I've tried restarting the phone.

I've tried updating the contact info through both google contacts online and on the phone.

I thought maybe it was because these 3 had no last names so i added last names. Nothing

I also thought maybe because they didn't have email addresses attached to them. Added an email. Nothing.

Its so frustrating because in the calendar app that came preloaded on the phone does show these 3 contacts and their pictures, as well as everyone else's. So I'm really at a loss on what to do. Any help?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinraz:
Hello,

Now the phone works, so here is the facts and the steps to resolve the problem :

So, I get a F400S who come flashed in F400K.

Then, it was flash in D855 by mistake.

When I started the phone, it got stuck on the LG logo.

If I tried to go to recovery, I was able to ask the wipe but after he returned on the LG logo.

If I tried to go to dowload mode, I seen the "download mode popup", but after it went into fastboot mode.

In fastboot mode, I used a F400K laf image (fastboot boot laf stock-laf.img).

Then, the download screen shows up ! And my PC started to install the drivers for com port.

I put the lg port to COM 41, then started flashtool with this dll : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-H4G_jDRCJwRVhBcFdGVzFjTHc/edit?usp=sharing and F400S TOT (not sure if necessary but this is what i did).

The download failed at 11%, but from this the phone booted in download mode without help ! And PC installed other drivers.

From here, I put a F400K tot with the same tool, failed at 83% but the phone worked.

With the same DLL, I was able to flash stock F400S (failed at 80%+ too).

Then, i rooted the phone, put TWRP on it and flash Cloudy G3.

Phone works like a charm now !

My english is not very good, I hope you understand the steps. If someone getstuck I'll be happy to help him in French (or with my bad English).

Thanks to all !

Have you tried flash stock firmware in download mode?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinraz:
I can't reach the download mode screen, sadly.

After the download mod popup, the phone start fastboot mode without asking anything.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinraz:
This phone never had TWRP. He never tried to flash anything on it before that.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DelBoy:
Thats bad then.

I believe your only choice is repair. LG box could solve this.

Maybe someone has some other suggestion.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinraz:
It's an imported Asian phone, it will be too much expensive to send it to be fix.

If someone as another solution (even if is not a free solution), i'll be happy.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amb669:
Did he use a computer to flash?

Or did he use his phone to flash?

If he used his phone to flash then he used TWRP.

If he used his computer to flash then he didn't use TWRP.

He used a computer.

Only fastboot respond but the butloader is no unlocked, so I think the phone is really dead. So sad ...

So, the phone is dead ...

Thanks all for the informations.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinraz:
Thanks, I'll try to contact him if I don't suceed by myself.

I tried with a F400L laf.img and i was able to start download mode.

Flash tool 2014 was unable to flash form here ...

I tried LG Flash Tool (the thing with port com 41) and he alert me about a "cross dl" D855 -> F400S.

So the phone is indeed flashed with d855 software ...

I found a modified dll to force flash.

Flash started, but fail at 11%.

Now, the phone start quickly into dowload mode each time (this is much better) but Flash tool 2014 can't flash it, and I can't flash it with F400k dll.

With the custom dll, flash fail at 11% each time.

Any idea ? This is a bit better than before !

In fastboot mode, try to flash boot.img and recovery.img . I think that can help boot up the phone
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinraz:
Thanks all !

I was able to board dl a F400k image, failed at 83% but the phone still boot and works !

I'll try to update to lillipop now (because phone if full of crappy apps in korean).

What the best :

- Root, flash TWRP, flash zip ?

- Flash lollipop KDZ ?

I don't want to kill it again !

I think i'll start to flash back to F400S (modify build.props to specify it's a F400S) .

Then i'll have a clean base to update to F400S lollipop.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amb669:
EDIT: The first 83% is the rom install, The other 17% is just a verification that the rom was installed properly.

It probly skipped the verification because you had to force install back to your old model. (Had it done a verification, It would have likely failed anyway.)

Flashing KDZ is the safest way to flash, But can only flash stock roms this way. Just make sure you flash a rom with proper model this time:)

Flashing using TWRP is the better option though, You can install custom roms & kernels and easily recover from many bad things if you have TWRP installed.

To find TWRP for the LG G3, Google "LG G3 bump" it will be the top link.

If you flash lollipop kdz, your bootloader might get locked and you might not be able to install TWRP

If you flash kit-kat kdz, your bootloader will still be unlockable, Only if you didn't already update to "official" lollipop already before

After you flash to fully recover back to stock I would Root & install TWRP, You have a way higher chance to fix your device in the future if it ever gets broken again, If TWRP is installed.

JUST A TIDBIT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE THIS ISSUE, BUT STILL HAVE ACCESS TO TWRP:

I had a similar issue to this on my s4 back in the day, Thank god I still had TWRP installed though.

Samsungs Odin flash tools & TWRP wouldn't flash any roms.

My solution was to install a rom based on my model using TWRP with verify md5 unchecked, It would say it was the wrong rom or a bad rom (But I knew 100% forsure it wasn't) and continued to flash and unbricked my device.

After doing this, Everything returned to normal and I could flash using all methods again.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shinraz:
I plan to install stock F400S KitKat, then root, TWRP and zip Lollipop.

Someone have a link to see how I can modify build.props to flash back to F400s ? (Or a DLL like the one i found fro D855-F400k) ?

Edit : worked with same DLL.

First time the upload crash at 15%, but i rebooted the phone an flash tools restart by himself uploading.

Now, i will reflash with the "good" dll just to be sure.

I'm a proud owner of a F400S now ! ^^

[Xposed General] JesusFllwr:
Okay... so I'm a biggest noob boob there is...

I installed xposed/etc and used RootCloak... ...but I think I made a major booboo... First I suppose I should say what device I have: RCA Voyager7 tablet{the $40 deal from Walmart's pre-Black Friday sale}.

I "accidentally" [on-purpose] succeeded in rooting my device.... ...I say accidentally because after several failed attempts using KingoRoot... ...I discovered that each time Kingo rebooted my device I needed to unplug the USB from the device at the first boot-up screen and quickly [but carefully] re-insert the usb cable **AS SOON** as the homescreen loaded... ...this wasn't the "accidental" part; this was just observation of behavior after several fails;.. ...kingo rebooted the device some ten or so times and each time I performed the same task... ...but after about the tenth time I accidentally unplugged the usb **AS SOON* as the screen turned off and **BEFORE** the reboot... ...I realized that the device didn't boot-up by itself so I quickly pressed the power button to boot-up [without the usb plugged in] and **AS SOON** as the homescreen appeared on the device I plugged in the USB and THEN Kingo said that root was successful... ...IDK, maybe if I had just "accidentally" did at first what I did after about ten times it would have worked?

Anyway, using RootCloak... ...and in anticipation of any future OTA updates; I hid the root from <all things "android" and "google"> so that my root would not be recognized... ...as much trouble as it was, I did not want to go through the ordeal of rooting again... ...I thought maybe it won't work a second time around... ...apparently I effectively hid the root altogether...

NOW, SuperSU, Titanium Backup, Xposed, and worst of all RootCloak are apparently invisible to/cloaked from my device. It's still rooted, I know, because some apps that require root [like Set CPU and Lucky Patcher] still work...

...so does anyone know how can I reverse RootCloak when I don't have access to it or xposed on my device... ...I tried to install Titanium Backup from Google Play but when installing it said the app was already installed... I tried to re-install xposed but get the error message "trouble parsing package"... ...I also tried to install Root Checker but after installing; it was invisible... ...go figure :/

I guess RootCloak does its job... ...REALLY WELL -lol.

I suppose I could just do a factory reset and start over... ...but I was hoping someone could provide a remedy because I had several apps that I hate to go through the trouble of re-installing and configuring... ...at any rate... ...maybe my "accidental" discovery will help others whom have been having trouble rooting their RCA to finally and successfully root their RCA tablet :)
[Xposed General] kingvortex:
Try activating Xposed safe mode as detailed here, then uninstall RootCloak.

If that doesn't work, reflash your rom or restore the backup you should have made before installing the Xposed framework.

Sent from my C6603
[Xposed General] JesusFllwr:
Thanks

Thanks for the reply... ...I just got the chance to check my emails. I went ahead and did a factory reset and re-rooted, etc...

There were some important things I forgot to mention about how I got KingoRoot to work with my RCA... ...for anyone who tries to root their RCA using the method I described: Be sure to disable wireless so no updates will take place on the device and you MUST disable screen-lock...

...and just I had suspected; I only neeeded to do the unplug / re-plug thing once [the right way]. KingoRoot will reboot the device twice: The first time the screen boots into fastboot [*DO NOT* unplug the usb on ANY black screen]... ...ONLY unplug the cable *after* the screen with the dog appears and re-plug the cable **AS SOON AS** your homescreen appears... ...it worked for me; I hope it works for others having trouble rooting their RCA with KingoRoot.

...thanks again for the reply :)

I have the phone outside of the US. It works perfectly on GSM for both data and voice.

On CDMA networks, however, the case is different. Voice access was there but data access wasn't possible.

[Moto 360] mackerel76:
Did i miss that collection? Which thread was it? Or direct link? Thx
[Moto 360] AvRS:
I downloaded that other 199 collection and ended up having to delete a load of duplicates which just had slightly different names and then when trying to use any the faces never actually worked, just had blank black faces with poorly designed battery, dates etc on them. Not sure that I could've done anything wrong so must've been something wrong in the zip or something. Would be interested if you share as I've now deleted all those.
[Moto 360] Max_Pain:
I haven't actually tried them yet, so had no idea. I did notice some of the files were empty inside. A few had another folder inside which then contained the files, so you'd have to move them out before you can import it on Facer.

Eventually I'll share my collection. Stay tuned to this thread.
[Moto 360] samhcl:
Really amazing tool ! greatly thanks for your effort and sharing.

of cause the tools just right fit for use, just my opinion if able to make batch export that will be much faster when managing large number of faces, the tool will become too perfect.

You can already batch export. Hold down Control while selecting the faces you want to export. You can then delete or export the multiple selected files. :)

[Moto 360] svtfmook:
very cool program, thanks!
[Moto 360] Max_Pain:
Big update posted on the OP. See below for changes.

v1.1
- Added feature to edit or add author name to a face - right-click and select 'Edit face author'
- Face searching is now recursive by default - this means you can have your watch faces organized in multiple folders, nested however you want. Just feed Face Viewer the parent folder and it'll find them all for you (be sensible - if you put Face Viewer to search your entire C:\ drive you're going to have a bad time)
- Added option to enable/disable recursive search and option to display/hide the face author name if available
- Added several new overlays for other smart watches: LG G Watch R, LG G Watch, Asus ZenWatch and Sony SmartWatch 2 - right-click on the preview image and select the overlay you want
- Added ability to have no overlay and just see the preview image bare - right-click on the preview image and select 'None'
- Added ability to use your own overlay - create a 500x500 PNG file using the provided ones as a template and drag and drop it on the preview image - it will be applied and saved, and now you can select it by right-clicking on the preview image
- Program will remember which preview overlay (or none) you used last in case you always use something other than the stock Moto 360 overlay
- Added ability to specify the background color for the preview images - right-click on the preview image and select 'Change background color'
- Several GUI fixes and improvements
[Moto 360] p0tential:
Will this work on Windows XP?
[Moto 360] Max_Pain:

If I select two files and delete them, only one is actually deleted, as far as I can tell. The second selected one remains in the list and has to be deleted separately. Could you have a look at that???
