[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Run_dawn10:
I reset my phone so I can start anew (I do it on a whim sometimes). It did delete apps/accounts that I had installed and signed into. However, I noticed the regular factory reset option didn't delete the entirety of my personal data as I can still find folders associated with my old apps, with data in them of course. For example, I had Zedge installed and I can still find my download wallpapers in the Zedge folder.

Is there a way to fully delete personal data? Must I go into recovery or use the software repair option in the PC suite?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maikoandres:
Repair and delete data with PC Companion or Flashtool FTF

PC Companion is your best option if you are not familiar with Flashtool

Thanks for the suggestions. I went back into the reset menu and noticed I didn't check the format device storage option. I'll keep that in mind as I still have loose files hanging about....

Have you tried long pressing on the notification and disabling notifications?

Thanks for the thumbnail. I did find it in TB and froze it but I'm still getting the update notification in my notification pull down.
[Sprint LG G3] kennwoodkenn:
Did you restart the phone after

that may work
[Sprint LG G3] meyerweb:
Don't know if this will work or not, but on the Galaxy S3 the way to stop getting nagged about an OTA was to edit build.prop and replace all references to the old ROM with the new one. So you could try making a backup of build.prop, then edit all references to ZV4 and change them to ZV6. Save the file, make sure permissions are set to rw-, r--, r-- (0644), and reboot.

I would strongly suggest making a nandroid backup first.
[Sprint LG G3] MikeDroid:
Here's how I have been doing it:

1. Download Autorun Manager

2. In settings under advanced enable view services

3. Go to Google Services Framework and disable update...see below.

At your own risk if you decide to try it, of course.

This is the recommended way. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=57182591
[Sprint LG G3] im0rtalz:
If the update has already downloaded. Disabling the OTA still wont get rid the the notification. Easy way to get rid of it is long press it and go to app info. This will take you to Google Play Services. Simply uncheck show notifications and the system update in the pull down notifications will go away.

Just a temporary fix to get it out of the way. I reccommend just downloading a ZV6 rooted rom.

Lucky you. Good find. Glad you got it sorted. Now you can relax.
[Sprint LG G3] jreink01:
I have a question that I wanted to ask before I go any further. I bought a G3 last week, rooted it and installed twrp recovery, and have done multiple backups.. Had a hardware defect so I had to exchange my phone for another new one. I received a system update just now so I was going to accept the OTA update since its not rooted, completely stock. My questions are will I be able to root and instally twrp after this update and once I install all my apps, and if rooting and installing twrp is successful, can I restore my backup that I did on my other phone, even though its a different phone? Its from the same carrier and same model phone. Thanks for your feedback.
[Sprint LG G3] Texas501:
Don't take OTA. Root it and TWRP it. Then flash STOCK ROM ZV6 Deodexed or Odexed, then you'll be up to date and keep root with TWRP.
[Sprint LG G3] jreink01:
My version number is ZV4. I wouldn't be able to flash that rom, would I??
[Sprint LG G3] Texas501:
After you root and twrp, yes, you can flash to STOCK ROM ZV6 Deodexed or Odexed. DO NOT TAKE THE OTA ZV6! Find "Stock ROM ZV6 Deodexed or Odexed" here in XDA Forums.

See thread: http://xdaforums.com/sprint-lg-g3/development/rom-stock-zv6-base-odex-deodex-t2949087
[Sprint LG G3] jreink01:
Does this ZV6 stock rom include the latest updates? One other question, would I be able to do my backup that I did from my other phone. I was on the stock rom that cam with the phone, only rooted and with twrp.
[Sprint LG G3] Texas501:
What ever date it was made, it should have that latest update. [MENTION=1280108]engine95[/MENTION] should be able to answer that better.

I would do a clean flash, i.e. wipe everything except internal and external memory. Then start over. backing up apps from zv4 to zv6 may cause some annoying bugs.
[Sprint LG G3] engine95:
This ^^^^^^^^^

There is no root for zv6.

Edit. And do not restore anything from zv4. Start fresh and clean.
[Sprint LG G3] meyerweb:
I've never run into problems when restoring APPS, and app data, from a prior version of a ROM. I did that when upgrading from Barren (ZV4) to BarRin (ZV6), and have had no issues.

NEVER restore system apps or data, however.
[Sprint LG G3] jreink01:
I just received a notification that I have a sprint update. It says press to apply data update. I think this is different than a regular system update. Does anyone know what exactly this is besides just data. I am rooted and running zv6.

The fact that vibrator doesn't work can be due to this lower version of IPL? the Speaker problem is due to the hardware I suppose, but what about the screen, sometimes is takes 3 minutes before responding... And sometimes I need to remove the battery to make it works again. The last think I want to try before returining the device to factory is to upgrade the IPL, does anyone can help me?

[Lenovo A328 Questions & Answers] hakmal:
Hi,

I'm using Lenovo A328 and andriod version 4.4.2.

I've installed app Titanum Backup perhaps to move my apps on internal storage to SD card. The problem was,i can't found the button / function to move process.

I think button/ function to move apps would be somewhere at this area.

When i'm launced the Titanum Backup several prompt that i don't understand.

And if i want to use app Weak Control for example the prompt said like picture below.

I'm using DingDong ROOT ( Ding_Ding_Root_v1.3.5_rus_by_maksnogin ) .. I thought after i "scan my device" those apps like Titanum Backup and Weak Control solved. Unfortunately it won't.

1) I launced DingDont ROOT

2) Rooting process i think

3) Er... what this apps says?

Any ideas how to solve this problem
[General Topics] chappatti:
After trying to help an xda member to get his tablet fixed, we have ended up at Mobiletechvideos started by Josh Groce, who has been a past speaker at XDA events. We have spent the last 1 month trying to get in contact with Mobiletechvideos - anybody we can, anyway we can, email, phone calls etc. There has been no communication. Zero.

Mobiletechvideos was a suggestion of Adam Outler, another trusted member of XDA, and hence we did not do due diligence in making sure of the current status of said company. That fault we now recognize. Adam Outler, when finally contacted, initially could not recall the company, but then remembered Josh and says he will try to contact Josh. But we are waiting....

There are a few threads dealing explicitly with Mobiletechvideos and the recent situation where many have given up on their phones ever coming back, and some trying for 4-5 months. Surprisingly, Josh as "connexion2005" does respond arbitrarily to posts on these threads but has not addressed the many members whose devices are stuck in the limbo of Mobiletechvideos. People have been charged $150 a piece on numerous occasions but have not gotten refunds or action on their devices, or even any feedback.

THIS THREAD IS BEING CREATED IN DESPERATION AFTER TRYING SO MANY VENUES INCLUDING THE ABOVE THREADS.

Remember this: Mobiletechvideos as founded by a former XDA "guru" (????) Is drumming up its business through its connections on xda forums. This needs to be re-examined on all fronts. As a long time user of XDA, I have come to respect my interactions with members purely on trust. While this may seem intuitively naiive, it has never let me down until now. We as users must fight to ensure that XDA remains a "safe" site considering we download our phone software without blinking an eye ! That trust must NOT be betrayed.

We hope that other senior members that recognize the names of the member we cite can put out the message that Mobiletechvideos needs to at least respond to customers if it has any chance of carrying on in a legal fashion.

We are preparing a case to be submitted to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) by Monday as we have no other recourse but to escalate the case and hope some serious official intervention by outside authorities will bring things back on track. We also will sadly have to consider police involvement if possible.

Anybody with any ideas, feedback, knowledge or assistance are please requested to respond.

Thanks.
[General Topics] bitpushr:
I'm sorry you are going through these difficulties.

I do not have any direct advice or knowledge of this situation, I just wanted to say that Mobiletechvideos/Josh are not affiliated with XDA, and is a member just as you are. I checked to see if he had spoken at any events and it looks like he spoke at an Android BBQ, which isn't our event. Even if it was, just because a speaker says they are with XDA doesn't necessarily mean we are vouching for them or their business.

Anyway, it sounds like you and others have tried contacting him about this and are not receiving satisfactory answers. Unless he is a member of the BBB there is no point in contacting them as they have no authority. You can try to open a claim in small claims court, which is your best bet - you can try contacting the local police where he is located but really the only thing they can look into is fraud.

This isn't directly related to the running of XDA the site so I will move the thread to an appropriate forum. Again best of luck to you and others affected by this!
[General Topics] chappatti:
Thanks so much for your reply and for your kind words of encouragement. We are exploring all avenues.

I want to also clarify that as a public forum XDA has my highest regard - it is a true example of a altruistic community. I just wish to urge members to continue to be vigilant in reporting known cases of fraud or scamming so others can steer clear of becoming victims.

I would go far as to suggest a separate thread/sub-forum be opened to report such issues - one can easily judge the magnitude of the issue by looking at the number of replies a thread garners, which would highten the risk a particular report poses. Also it gives the both parties in such a dispute to air their issues, such that other readers can judge for themselves the merits of any case. Xda does not have to in any way provide dispute resolution, but just allow a small space for greivances to be discussed and the metits be judged by the individual judgement of users. At least some awareness is built about potential ongoing issues.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] speedme:
Does that only count for the Nexus devices who received Lollipop already ?

Or also for Galaxy devices ?

I have the option to upgrade to Lollipop on my Galaxy S5, but ofcourse I want it to work with my Gear 1.

When it doesn't work (yet), I'll prefer to wait untill it works.

So did someone with a S5 already update to Lollipop and can tell if the Gear 1 is still working ?

Ok, I've installed Lollipop on my S5 and it even works with an older version of Gear Manager (for full notifications).
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Molotov91:
HI, what version?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] speedme:
2.1.14o71502

But when you install it, remember to put your phone in airplane mode.

Let is finish installing and then open the program.

Enable all the notifications you want including preview.

When done, take phone out of airplane mode and it will ask you to update.

Don't do that and you should be fine

Has anybody who has flashed any AOSP based ROM (whether it be KitKat or Lollipop) been able to get ADB to recognize their device? I've had no luck at all.

Is anyone out there able to successfully see their device through ADB while running an AOSP based ROM?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Boostjunky:
OK, I was finally able to get this resolved. All it took was to download the "Google USB Driver" from this page, and extract the package to wherever you'd like. After that, go into device manager on your machine, find your device that currently has no drivers installed (it should be under "Other Devices"), and right click and select "Update Driver Software".

Once it starts the update process, just point it to the location of where you extracted the driver, and it should install and all will be well.

Hi,

I have an M3100 that has a problem where intemittently the screen is blank (although it does light up ok and isn't broken). It has worsened and now more often than not the screen is blank. I simunlocked it about 6 months ago with the tool from Buzz and have happily been running my tmobile sim.

Other than the simunlock it is a vanilla M3100. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could try to fix it? I have tried a hard reset and was wondering about maybe flashing with a different rom.

Presumably if this doesn't work it may actually be a faulty screen.

I made the HUGE mistake of ringing orange thinking they would arrange to fix or replace it, but the first thing they did was check their systems to find that my imei was registered against my tmobile SIM and because I had unlocked without paying them to do it I had voided my warranty! Grrr.

Does anyone have any tips?

Thanks in advance,
