Where would I find threads discussing being able to work on my android devices using my android devices?

Is there any current ongoing development taking place to make the various android tools that generally require a pc, to work on any of the modern android devices that seem as though they should be capable, regardless if handheld or tablet?

USB hard wire tethering via two android usb micro ports?

Stupid question, but as my experiences with I-mate products havent been too great. (My PDA2k EVDO had reset/hard reset, screen, freezing, memory card problems) and now the JASJAM getting "repaired" by the phone company...

Anyway, I am quite comfortable taking the phone apart, especially to make sure connections are ok, and there are no obvious other bits torn, etc.

This is extremely dodgy, but does anyone know of a place if they exist, to get a set of "Warranty Void" stickers to replac

You could always try HTC :D

But seriously, if you're going to screw around with the software/firmware/hardware, sometimes you'll just have to expect a hit if you break it...

BUT, if you find those stickers please let us know :D :D
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsnydernh:
Yesterday I picked up a used Nexus 7 with a bootloop issue.. spent $10 so I figured worst case I bought an expensive charger for my phone. Either way, it looks like the bootloader is locked and I can't unlock it. Everything I've read seems to point to a bad emmc chip. Would replacing the motherboard solve this issue (assuming the new motherboard doesn't have the same defect). Also could I replace this one (an 8gb) with a 16 or 32 gb board?

Did you just want to upgrade or was there an issue with the original 16GB? If it's good (and you still have it) would you want to sell it?

I assume my motherboard is zapped. I can charge my Grouper while it's unplugged but no device will recognize it. I made the mistake of upgrading my partition with this issue, now I have a fancy paperweight. Thoughts?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsnydernh:
I just ordered an 8GB replacement motherboard from eBay, cost $16.99. I'm figuring I'll be into this thing for a bit under $30 if all works out so worth the gamble I guess. I'll update once it comes in.

My new 32 gb motherboard arrived, and I installed it right away- I felt like it was Christmas morning. Fast forward to closing the case, and I get no power. Not even a weak attempt. I went through everything, it's all properly attached. Still nothing. It's currently charging with no LED light on. I am not optimistic. Anyone have any suggestions?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legobricke:
I replaced my boards also.... Bought a used unit that came from a Nexus that someone had broken the screen on.... So, I received the frame with camera/speaker and boards attached.... only thing missing was the usb/headphone piece which I just took from my old frame....

Put everything together.... sealed it up..... plugged it in..... Nothing...... mild heart attack..... But then, I let it charge for 10 minutes... returned to the unit and pressed and held the power button.... and it fired up....

So, as I don't have a suggestion on if there is something internally wrong.... But sure, that the battery is plugged in securely and give that power button another shot after charging for a little while...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsnydernh:
Motherboard came in yesterday, couldn't have been easier to install just have to watch the plastic clips on the ribbon cable connectors, I broke one on the old motherboard, if they are anything like the PS3 if they break you're SOL. The new MB was on 4.2 so I went through the upgrade procedure to 5.0.2 and wow it runs lollipop nicely. Also I ended up getting a 16gb MB so that worked out well.

Try and use a regular tablet charger, which I think is 1.3 or 2.3 amps and not one of the generic chargers which are lower - you will notice a huge difference in charging time. I'm using the tablet charger on my S4 and it goes from 10% to 100% in around an hour.
[Nexus 6  General] Matt-Helm:
If you buy the phone on a payment plan with Sprint they only charge you $600 for the phone.. not $650. I got the phone on Tuesday by singing up with Sprint and just paying the sales tax on the phone. Today I paid what I owe on the phone which was $600.00 through the Sprint online customer chat. An hour later I called and canceled my services and the phone showed paid in full. If you do this within a 3 day period you do NOT get charged an activation fee of $35.

So maybe I screwed Sprint out of $50 bucks.. or maybe I didn't. I'll have to see if I ever get some sort of bill. :angel: :angel: :angel:

Step 8 isn't entirely necessary

Just a heads up if you want to simplify your first post, that part of step "8" is not necessary:

In fact, as you already are using Root Browser to change the permissions, you can also use Root Browser to move the 2 files. Worked just fine for me and removes the need for TWRP or another reboot.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Russell_:
I've got a Sprint L710 running 4.4.2 NJ2 and rooted. Sometime in the past few weeks I stopped getting notified when the screen is dark. Once I press the power button and the screen lights up, within a few seconds apps appear to "sync" and I hear the various notification tones. The majority of the time the phone is in airplane mode with wifi on. From settings -> wifi -> advanced, I do have Keep Wifi on during sleep ("Always" selected). Apps which exhibit this usage are Gmail, Google Voice, Whatsapp, etc. If I go to Data Usage (when under wifi), I do have Auto Sync data turned on. I've spent a fair amount of time googling to no avail and other than starting from scratch, I'm not sure what else to try. I've not changed any settings from the time this worked (under ND8). Any suggestions would be very greatly appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
did it stop because of NJ2 or did it randomly stop?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Russell_:
I wish I could say for sure it was the NJ2 "upgrade" which broke it, but I can't swear to it. However, I'm fairly certain it has never worked with NJ2. Earlier today, I Odined NJ2 again. I then Odined Philz and got Philz to give me root access. I then wiped the cache and the Dalvik cache from Philz. Problem still exists.

I followed the same process when I moved from ND8 to NJ2. I didn't do anything to my apps - they all were still there (presumably data was untouched). I'm a noob of sorts. Should I have done something else migrating from ND8 to NJ2?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 81Vaibhav:
Hi guys Im new here.

Today i just downloaded superflashlight.apk file from web(not from playstore) and installed using 'verify and install' option.then Google recommended.that you should not install this app cause it contains some code that bypass android security... .I ignored it and installed.but after 1 minute my phone started restarting.I removed battery and again same problem.It boots for only 5 seconds and then restarts, Its like a circular Loop that never ends.

So factory reset was only the option.I tried going into settings as fast as i can but it gets hangs and restart before I reach the 'Erase Everything' option.

So I tried resetting using volume+,-and power button and i got shocked:crying: I still can't reset cause,my 'Menu' button works only once then its like a dead(means i can select wipe/factory data but can't select submenu 'yes').Can't do anything.I've also tested it n factory mode->Full test. and there also my back button and menu button was not getting detected. So I hv only option left that i should reset using pc/laptop

Anyone pls suggest me how can i do that.(remember that phone gets restarts in 5sec after every boot.)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mu5ic92:
Hey guys, just wondering what process would I follow to add the nav bar to the note 4. I know its gonna be a waste of screen real estate but I really prefer the nav bar over having to reach the physical home button.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whittikins:
I would really like this too. Unfortunately I have only been able to get it by either (1) using AOSP/CM roms, and (2) using Dynamic Kat rom. DK is the only Touchwiz based rom that I have seen with the feature. It works, but it is not customizable and does not utilize the swipe up "navring" feature.

There are some apps that mimic the navbar, but they don't work well on the Note 4 because they just put the bar on top of other screen elements (apps, home screen) instead of pushing everything else up.

Can you edit the build.prop on an unrooted phone?? I was just looking for info on this too.

Can you give any more info on editing it?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zain0300:
no there is no way you can edit system stuff without being rooted. You have to be rooted and then using any root explorer, I like solid explorer, you can edit build.prop. qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 can go anywhere in there so just add it at the end of build.prop
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnexplainedBacon:
I just found this thead. They seem to be saying its not possible as the UI elements for the nav bar are not included in the OS.

I've tried the buildprop edit but when I reboot it shows me a SYSTEMUI CRASH and I have to revert back to my nandroid backup. I don't think there's anyway around it being on a rooted TW Rom. *Hyperdrive ROM

Any other way to get the NavBar with a TW featured ROM?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whittikins:
Same. It just constantly force closes if you use the build.prop method.

As I stated previously, you can use Dynamic Kat rom which is Touchwiz and includes the option to use on-screen buttons.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dvanzutphenkann:
I see it was reported by those who have 5.0.1 touchwiz that navbar soft keys are possible on that build so you'll have to wait for tmobile to release it to find out
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sher The Love:
I use Pie Control from the play store. You need to swipe in the the sides or the bottom to activate it. There are a lot of options for customization as well. It also makes one handed use much easier. No root required.

I notice in getvar Baseband N/A. That's not so good.

Flash this firmware http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/HTC/HTC_One/401/2.24.401.8.zip

Then check getvar to see if the baseband is showing correctly. If it is then get new Unlock_code.bin from HTCdev and try again :)

If it still shows baseband N/A then we can try a higher firmware then RUU.

thanx daniel how to flash it :victory:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
download the firmware and put the zip in your fastboot folder, rename it firmware.zip then flash with fastboot.

Boot your phone to the bootloader and connect fastbootusb, Now in the fastboot command line type

fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU

---case sensitive---^^^

Your phone will reboot to a black screen with silver HTC logo. This is ruu mode we can now flash the firmware.

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

The first flash is just a pre-update. The screen will go off and then return to ruu mode. Flash the zip again immediately.

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

The second flash will flash the firmware, the progress bar on the screen will not reach 100% this is normal ;) as long as the command line has finished it's output it's done.

I have been trying to find a charger port for a note 3 n9006 variant. This is a Chinese variant of the note 3. Other charge flexes will not work they are all basically the same regardless of carrier. But this version is very different it is basically a small board same width/height across the board. At any rate does any one have a clue as to where i can buy this part from? US or china etc makes no difference to me at this point. Just need this part. For that matter some one here might even have the part.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad.maximo:
Hello everyone,

I have my old willy here on a drawer and i just remembered i could use it as a GPS tracker for my car in case some day (hopefully not) someone will try to take it away from me.

The plan is just to leave it hidden somewhere inside the vehicle and have it always on probably with a power bank connected too for when the battery drains. The powerbank itself is connected to the car power to start charging when the car is on.

There are tons of different apps to handle this so the problem isn't that. The problem is the "always on"... There are some periods when i only use my car once a week or less and even then it is not enough to charge the power bank completly. So there are times when the phone would be with no battery left and shuts down.

All i want is a way for it to auto power on when some charge is initiated (ie. the car is started and the battery starts charging). Simply put, is there any way for the phone to turn on when it is connected to a charger?

I have found some people that could acheive this by modifing the lpm file in /system/bin but that file is not present in my CM7 wildfire. This file controls the launch of that ugly battery screen that shows when we charge a phone if it is powered off, the replace that screen launch by a boot command. Where in our wildfire is that file present?

If it is not possible, how much time would you gess the battery will last beeing with the screen off? What cappacity of powerbank would be needed to last for, say, 2 weeks?

Thank you very much
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Firstly, this is a pretty cool idea =)

Secondly you would need to work out how slowly the battery discharges. So say on idle with no screen time you get 2 days, with a stock the battery of say 1300mAh. In order to run two weeks you would need 7 full charges. So 7x1300mAh should be a 9100mAh battery.

Now as far as your power on is concerned its the recovery on htc devices that deal with charging while off and low power management as far as i know. So you could try look to the kernel or the clockworkmod source code for a way to power on or you could try make a device that activated the power button once the car engine was turned on, depressing it for say a full minute then releasing. When your android is already powered on the screen turning on will be the only side effect.

I will keep thinking =)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mad.maximo:
You kinda answered my question. If that math is right, if I connect the phone to a 20000mAh powerbank I have a month of life to give it. I can live with that. Not the "cleanest" solution but not bad. I use the car at least once a week so....

If I hardwire it to the car battery which is 60000mAh it would last even longer :)

Some device to push the button would be too unpractical, it has to be a software solution like the one I talked about. People have done this in all of the samsungs and also I have seen in a Sony x10 mini, all done modifying the bootloader. Unfortunately, my knowledge about how to fiddle in bootloaders, kernels or source codes is laughable at best, so I need some kind of walk-through...
