[Moto X Q&A] jazzdup:
Got a new 1st gen Moto X from Hong Kong via eBay, it's an XT1058 - US AT&T unlocked and I'm using it in the UK on Three network.

The front mic works 100% fine for skype, just not for normal calls - sometimes works after clearing the cache partition, sometimes not - mostly have about 10% volume and keeps dropping/cutting out.

Trying to work out whether it's definitely just software problem that could be fixed by rooting and replacing the system version which is latest 4.4.4 provided by AT&T or if it's likely hardware and I'm better off exchanging phone?

Could it be incompatibility between stock AT&T apps and UK-THREE network?

Anyone got evidence of sellers retailing faulty batches cheaply? It was damn cheap.

I thought after a few cache cleans, reboots, switch between ART and dalvik it was ok but after installing some apps problem reappeared.

After factory reset... problem still there... after wiping cache partition... it's good for a minute then same problem... but skype works fine!

Any suggestions of next troubleshooting steps? Worth trying a different network SIM or waste of time?

If someone could suggest how such a problem might be hardware or software I'd really appreciate it.
[Moto X Q&A] whgp:
its working well for me on skype but on other apps not the same performance :p
[Moto X Q&A] chow58:
Same phone from ebay, mic works very bad when handsfree

It seems that the problem is very apparent when using handsfree, because the other party experiences huuge quality loss when the phone is switched to handsfree (switching to the loudspeaker and talking from say 50 cm away) I have however heared ppl tell me that my voice comes through worse then before anyway. Same for cellular and ip calls incl wifi

Havent tried any cache cleans or whatever. It was bad from the 1st call right out of the box.

Any suggestions?

Thanx
[Moto X Q&A] jazzdup:
Thanks for the info - this is interesting that you have a potentially related problem. If I couldn't return my phone I would have rooted it and applied new ROM to see if it was a software problem but because there seem to be quite a few quality issues with the mics on these phones it's probably hardware and that won't help. at least you can use a bluetooth headset or similar as workaround.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yurkov:
I know its another one of those threads but I got stuck on something.

So I wanted to put CWM (which failed btw) on my CM11 nightly but after I did that I got stuck in a boot loot on the cyanogenmod icon. I searched a long time for a solution but still havent found any

- tried to root stock rom through Odin, nothing happened

- tried to use CM Installer app from the PC connected with a USB in recovery mode, the app itself crashes on Windows

- tried to flash a custom rom using both SD card AND ADB, I keep getting an error about signature verification failed

- yes I did wipe all my data, multiple times

any suggestions?

[Acer Iconia A500] jrobert7120:
Several months ago, dived into the adventure of rooting my Acer A500. Long story short, I did not complete whatever guide I was following, due to an error message that I could not get around. I did complete through the rooting part, and SuperSU by Chainfire is installed and will grant root access to apps. I tried to install CWMs ROM manager to find out that I don't have a custom recovery installed. After some research, I don't think that my bootloader is unlocked either. Please understand that I use these terms loosely as I really don't know how this all works. I have tried reading through guides and tutorials, but this stuff is only partially clicking with me. I have found some information but none of it seems to apply to my specific hardware and problem. I am gonna post some version numbers below and hopefully someone will be able to tell me where I left off and point me in the right direction. Also, attempts to boot into recovery result in dead android with red triangle exclamation.

Android Version

4.0.3

Kernel Version

2.6.39.4+

Image Version

Acer_AV041_A500_RV05RC01_PA_CUS1

Build Number

Acer_AV041_A500_1.033.00_PA_CUS1

Image P/N

FM.S14A0.00Y

Bootloader Version (A500 Root Tools used)

0.03.12-ICS

Again, I do not know what guide or tools I used to root, but I know that there was more to do. Any ideas or thoughts?
[Acer Iconia A500] scottsdca:
Any luck installing recovery?

Hi, I'm in the same boat as you, Android with red triangle when trying to boot into recovery. I downloaded Acer Recovery Installer which was granted root access. It gave me a list of recoveries to download and install, but had a note about needing an unlocked boot loader, which I don't think I have. I have the same numbered boot loader version as you. 3.12. The recovery installer says 3.04 is OK to use for installing. Did you ever get a recovery installed, and if so, how did you do it?

Thanks,

Scott

[Windows Phone 8s by HTC] lothbrok6161:
HTC 8S dont turn on and someone posted that issue 2 years ago.

I followed this video youtube.com/watch?v=gjtTK2TcnyE with RUU_ACCORD_U_APO_00_HTC_Europe_2.00

1. Copy UEFI_signed.nbh to sdcard

2. Rename UEFI_signed.nbh to RIOUDIAG.nbh

3. Turn the phone off and put sdcard into the phone

4. While holding Volume down + camera buttons press power button

Still got the screen of the bar code, it does not install the RIOUDIAG.nbh file like the video, it goes directly to the bar code

so i try this step with RUU_ACCORD_U_APO_00_HTC_Europe_2.00:

I Turn off my phone completely.

I Hold Power to turn it on, and quicly press volume + and volume - at the same time to enter bar code screen

I Connect my device to PC, the “serial” text changed to “USB”

I Run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe on PC

The phone is detected and it starts to load files

on the computer there is 1%, on the phone there is 1%

but the phone turns off and I get the following message on the computer

” ERROR 296, UPGRADE ONLY, This NBF fil cannot be used for your PHONE, please get newer file.”

same result with RUU_RIO_U_APO_00_HTC_Europe_1.04

Now I followed the same video with RUU_RIO_U_APO_00_HTC_Europe_1.04

1. Copy UEFI_signed.nbh to sdcard

2. Rename UEFI_signed.nbh to RIOUDIAG.nbh

3. Turn the phone off and put sdcard into the phone

4. While holding Volume down + camera buttons press power button

the screen is dead, when i press power button ,the phone vibrate but i have always black screen

when i plug the phone to the PC , the phone is detected like a hard disk 2GB

really need help :(
[General Questions and Answers] JawshBawx:
Hello and good morning. I recently began the process to backup my phone storage on my pc, and after enabling developer mode and then subsequently enabling usb debugging, I connect my phone to the pc without seeing any options for mft transfer or anything. It simply will not be recognized. Have the latest SDK and HTC sync software installed, but neither of them detect the device. I tried restarting, disabling and re enabling usb debugging etc, all to no avail. I manually installed drivers, uninstalled HTC sync and none of that worked.

Then read that sometimes it helps to restart the phone by holding down the power button for 10 seconds. This is to simulate a battery pull since you can't actually do that with the one X+.

This was strange; When I did that, the three 'buttons' would flash and the text would show "device will restart if you hold down the power button for 3, 2, 1 seconds.." but just stops there and won't restart, with the dialogue still displayed and the lights flashing. I let go of the power button and the dialogue goes away but the device won't restart unless I do it through normal means, still not fixing the issue.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

[General Questions and Answers] JawshBawx:
I've uninstalled the sync manager and then reinstalled the standalone drivers and still get nothing. I think it's an issue with the phone itself. I just recently enabled the developer options to enable usb debugging, and it's only been since that happened that I can't connect to it. I've done just about everythi g when it came to enabling disabling debugging (the only dev option I touched) restarting etc and thus far I'm not getting anything. I'm thinking I may just have to hard reset the device unless anyone can come up with anything. Anyone recommend a really good backup option since I'm not rooted and I can't connect it to my pc?
[General Questions and Answers] NOOK!E:
[MENTION=6403003]JawshBawx[/MENTION], if you were rooted I'd definitely have you use Titanium Backup, but seeing how it requires root and you aren't rooted, it won't work for you.

In fact, come to think of it, all of the non-PC backup methods require root! :eek:

Does your device have an SD card slot?
[General Questions and Answers] JawshBawx:
Haha. No it's an HTC One X plus. Next phone will have an sd lol. I actually found all this out because I was trying to start the root process! Can't do that without connecting to my pc or without having an sd card [emoji14]
[General Questions and Answers] NOOK!E:
Oh, lol. :silly:

Looks like you're just a little bit screwed - and by "a little bit screwed" I mean you're going to have to factory reset your One X+ without backing it up. :(
[General Questions and Answers] JawshBawx:
Do you know anyone else in this forum who might have some ideas here? Someone has to know something that can help some part of this situation haha. I might just have to dropbox everything and then move that info to my pc.. a long manual backup.. fun! But if anyone else has an idea concerning the original issue.. I'd be a happy camper.

Force download mode by pressing and holding Volume Down, Home and Power until you see a warning screen. Then use Odin to fix it. Maybe a fixed Recovery is enough. With bad luck your only way is a official update with Modem, BL, Kernel and stuff, too.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raptor270:
Hi,

i'm currently on firmware 51.1.3.0 and i got my FT just lying around here and want to use it.

So my question is, should i upgrade to the latest firmware and just use it or be patient until a root for my version is released because of the efuse stuff?

Is anyone working on a new root method atm?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porkenhimer:
I doubt anyone is working on rooting newer firmware, cause they already have their firmware rooted so I doubt they have interest in rooting the newer firmware. Not trying to speak for any devs that have worked on these devices, but that seems to be the way it goes, they have already accomplished their goal of rooting the device so if newer unrootable firmware gets released its not really a problem for them. I am predicting right now that unless a new firmware with major updates gets released that requires you to have stock firmware to update then no newer firmwares will ever get root. I could be wrong, but I doubt it so its really up to you.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wellersl:

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] jjsullivan5196:
Hi there, I bought an S Relay when it was first released here in the US. I just have a tiny issue with it that still hasn't been resolved in however many times I've updated the damn thing.

I currently have a cyanogenmod based rom on the phone, but this happens with almost any cyanogenmod rom. (Including the official ones) The screen, even though I unlock the phone, will sometimes decide to stay dark or give me this weird broken-crt pattern with bits of what I'm supposed to be looking at jumbled in. Does anybody else have this issue? Or am I just crazy?

In this respect, the offical samsung rom works great with the phone. I would use it if it didn't suck so bad, which is why I want to figure this out. The specific rom is FatToad[Android 5.0.2] by TeamApexQ, but this has happened ever since they started development on the cyanogenmod rom way back when.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Magamo:
Are you using bluetooth when this happens? As of FatToad 5.0.2, currently the only verified reason for this to happen is memory exhaustion (and resultant spike in CPU as it attempts to swap and fails) The only thing I've seen to cause this and not fall prey to Android's low memory killer is the bluetooth stack which seems a bit buggy. If you are not using bluetooth, please send me a logcat of the issue. Also, when this happens, can you still get to adb?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] jjsullivan5196:
I'm going to install android studio now and see if I can get the log info. But no, without bluetooth enabled, this still happens.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] jjsullivan5196:
I just dumped the log from my phone around when this happens. It took a few tries to get it to happen, but it eventually did. I stopped logcat right after I got the screen to wake and unlock successfully. I'll attach it here.

Also, adb does work even when the screen doesn't wake up.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elosogrande7076:
Hey everyone,

I got a Note 4 when they first came out and have been having a lot of issues with it every since. At first it was just signal issues where i was missing calls/voice mails, texts, etc, especially compared to my Note 3. I think started having issues with my phone freezing, heating up, etc. I am thinking about restarting my phone and reloading programs to see if things get better. My problem is that i still have my phone stock and non-rooted due to needing Knox for work. Any programs that you can recommend that i can backup my apps and its data? I am used to using TB for my rooted phone but i am not sure what i can use for a non rooted phone. I basically trying to reload my apps (side loaded and ones i got from the playstore) but also not lose data if i can help it.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I use an app called Helium Premium by ClockworkMod, which works great for saving apps and data on unrooted phones. I recommend it highly.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholb:
I second the recommendation of Helium. It is about the only way to back up all app data without rooting. You do need to hook the phone up to a computer to enable it. The free version can back up to SD, but the paid version will backup to cloud drives like Dropbox. You can also go straight from one phone to another.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boothroyd917:
Ever since I flashed 5.0 to my 900V, my battery life has gone significantly down. Now this can be expected to some extent as I can no longer use Amplify to control NlpCollectorWakeLock (which is one of a few wakelocks going to town on my battery). One of the others is bluedroid_timer, which is part of bluetooth. I did some searching and I saw some other people with the same issue, but no answers. I use a Moto 360 on a daily basis, use bluetooth streaming in my car, and use bluetooth headphones at the gym, so turning off bluetooth isn't really an option. Bluesleep is another one that is spending a lot of time running. Anyone have any ideas? I've read a few threads where people mention this problem, but no one has posted any answers yet.

I'm not rooted, so I can't see the specific wakelocks but it's absolutely Bluetooth related, even with all device profiles deleted. If I have the BT radio on, my battery gets hammered and the phone never goes into deep sleep, turn the radio off and all is normal.

I just started experiencing this as well. I'm on a T-Mobile S4, running a GPE rom. It started happening in the last month, not exactly sure when. I ran a rooted TouchWiz stock rom before that and I don't recall ever seeing it.

So you're running fully stock? I was curious if I installed some weird app or software package that messed with things, but if you're running stock that would seem to rule that out..
