[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] azzkikrazz:
Hello,

I've had my T-mobile SGH-T989 since March 2012. As it came with the standard Samsung Touchwiz loaded Android, I decided to flash a custom rom: Paranoid Android 4.4 RC2 (Android version 4.4.3), sometime back.

Ever since I have installed this new ROM everything except two things run very nicely.

1. I can use my camera, but only without any flash. The moment, I turn on the flash or put it on auto mode, the phone simply restarts. After restart, I can open the camera app, but the moment I try to take a picture with the flash on, it restarts. If I turn off the flash, the camera works without any problems.

2. Every time I am on a call, with me holding the phone to my ear (so that the proximity sensor detects that and turns off the screen to prevent accidental button press), after about 2 mins, somehow Google now gets triggered off and starts doing something on the screen (e..g opening browser, showing search history ,etc..) all the while I am talking on the phone. Off lately, approx since a week now, in addition to Google Now doing funky things, my phone now automatically goes to loudspeaker mode (even while I am holding the phone to my ear), and puts the phone on mute (although mute icon is not activated), but the other person can't hear anything.

It's just frustrating that I cannot talk without worrying about Google now triggering something off, or the phone going on loudspeaker and muting me off.

Can you guys please help resolve these issues? It's really annoying that a clean ROM like Paranoid Android is plagued with these problems, and I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere online.

Your help would be very much appreciated.

Regards,

Chintan.

Please help!

Hello Gurus,

I would really appreciate if someone can help me find out what the problem is with this phone.
[General Topics] 6wheels:
thank you so much for this great guide. i was playing metal slug on FPSEce, but i think it might run much faster on an NeoGeo emulator than a play station emulator especially that i have k-jam (wizard). i was overclocking to 260 without the boost. i think i must try it with the boost even if i get only 1 extra FPS it is still worth it. thanks again mate.
[General Topics] drutort:
i too tried some of the demo games on FPSEce, couldnt be bothered to get my disks and rip them... though might do it later :) my biggest problem is the controls, the i300 has some extra buttons that could be used, i seen some articles about maping but they all have to do with reg edit, i wish for a program to capture or remap to run as some kind of plugin, to use ALL the buttons, all but the on/off reset cause that would suck heh, but the call, win key and the ok/close buttons are all a must IMO, even the volume button can be used, for buttons such as select/menu/start etc...

FPSEce ran ok with the demo, but without proper controls not that playable, the fps was decent too, with this cpu, im just wondering if these emu's will utilize any other co processors... such as most have them im sure... how else are we able to play/record in mpeg4 and the such :confused:
[General Topics] nothin:
thanks for showing that emu here. its one of best emus available, just try blazing star to get image of what masterall have done for emu fanatics.

+1 for you, too.

emu fanatic..

btw, isn't it sad, that i STILL cant have snes emu with sound on wizard? i've checked every that exist.

...BLASPHEMY. <_<

Then again, playing 'em on your PPC is probably pretty awkward, without a BT gamepad.

In any case, I love this emulator, and I'm waiting patiently for Ninja Masters to be loadable.

(I need to get a better unit than the Atom. Sheez.)

I'm having a big issue trying to connect to my new out of the box firestick over my wifi.

I've tried using the amazonfirestick utility and adbfire v1.14 and v1.22.

nothing works. always says cant connect.

I've turned off the firewall on my laptop, turned off UAC, turned off microsoft security essentials, and tried opening the programs as an administrator.

I'm running win7 home premium 64bit. I've got the debugging and 3rd party software buttons turned on the firestick. everything says it "should" connect but it wont. is this a common issue? I have no clue how to get it to connect.

any advice would be greatly appreciated.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] laidbackcloud:
Forget all that brother.

Install agk fire on your android phone, then install es file explorer. Open agk and install es file explorer onto your fire stick. Open file explorer on both the stick and phone, which will opens a connection to sharing files and apks between the devices. Install whatever you want!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonmorris:
Before Lollipop, Sony had implemented a trusted feature with, say, a Pebble smartwatch or other trusted device - but now with 5.0.2 installed, I can't see how to set/change it.

What's more, my existing trusted device (watch) no longer unlocks the phone when in range.

I can see there's now a new setting (off by default) in Settings/Security/Trust agents/Smart Lock (Google) which could be it - as in the native Lollipop method, but even once I turn that on, there's no option that I can find unless I'm being really dumb?!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonmorris:
Think I've answered my own question. I rebooted and now in security there's a Smart Lock function menu that let's you unlock with Bluetooth, face etc.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zviratko:
That's exactly it, and it works better than what Sony had in 4.4.4 - it skips the lockscreen completely and without delay, unlike Sony's implementation...
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MagicHunta:
Where is this "Trusted device" feature you talked about in Android 4.4.4 on Sony devices?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Its in the screen lock settings.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MagicHunta:
Oh, you talking about "Bluetooth unlock"?

Smart lock is way cooler in 5.0 :D
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
What's the difference? I have just looked at a you tube video of smart lock and it seems to do exactly what Bluetooth unlock does on my 4.4.4
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MagicHunta:
hmmmm it's actually pretty much the same except you won't even see the pattern dots i think? But I like the location for smart lock too
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fidasek:
How so? With my SmartBand, it just bypasses the pattern, but I still have to swipe to unlock it, unlike with 4.4.4 where it would unlock it completely.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiggyb21:
I'm having trouble with this working with my SmartBand. On 4.4.4 my phone unlocked no problem 100% percent of the time. On 5.0.2 maybe 50% of the time. It's so frustrating!

It's working fine for everyone?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackos:
It's having compatibility issues with the SmartBand I guess. Same here, so back to using Tasker to achieve that.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiggyb21:
I may have figured it out.

When I first set up smartly smartlock I did so using nfc when prompted to pair to the smartband.

What I did now was turn off the smartband and force stop or uninstall the smartband app (I uninstalled). To turn off the smartband you hold down the little button for a while (past the night mode toggle). Now go into the Bluetooth menu and turn on the smartband. Tap it when it shows up. Now that they're paired. Go back and setup smartlock again but this choose Bluetooth instead of nfc.

Using nfc it labeled the smartband as "smartband" while the Bluetooth method named it sw-10.

What I still liked about Sony's implementation was that you could set the proximity. I thought that was brilliant. I want the phone to unlock if it's in my hand and that's it.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fidasek:
What changes? Nothing, you still have to slide to unlock.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackos:
Does it also work after you restart the phone?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fidasek:
It always worked after restart, just not the way it used to work on KitKat.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiggyb21:
Nope.. Guess it's better than nothing for the smartband.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fidasek:
It works "fine" for me, although not as on KitKat. Are you sure you've read the help properly?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiggyb21:
Yes, but we're talking specifically about the Sony Smartband in the last few posts. Apparently there is some issue with compatibility and I thought I had figured it out. I did, but as with others the problem now is that it won't hold through a power down cycle.

We understand the directions state you may have to reenter your passcode/pattern if the phone is left for a while or powered off but for me, and I believe some others, the only way to get it back is to erase the smartband app and start all over with pairing and smartlock setup. It's not like it starts working again after a single "verification"

As far as people's complaint about the smartlock not bypassing the swipe screen I believe that to simply be a lollipop change because of the new notification centric lockscreen. I actually like it. 75% of the time I want to check on a notification or mess with the music that's playing. Now it can bypass my security but still let me get to my notifications and music quickly. I actually much prefer it this way.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fidasek:
You are arguably just a minority judging by the topic full of hatred on AOSP forum. And I agree, why should I waste my time on a screen I don't want to have notifications at, especially as on KitKat, it worked basically the same, the device was unlocked by simple double click and next swipe could've been sliding notification bar. Don't see why I should have to swipe twice as much just to unlock the phone, it's the thing you do everytime you use your phone, for f***'s sake!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiggyb21:
We are all the minority. 9 out of 10 people could care less if they have to swipe, tap, or whatever. The people complaining in a thread on a forum certainly don't represent the larger audience. So yes, on these forums perhaps I am the minority, but I think with the z3 running lollipop there are quite afew improvements over KitKat. Some things I wish didn't change but Sony and Google didn't customize a Rom just for me. You always have the option of reverting to KitKaT.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fidasek:
I am pretty sure 9 out of 10 people would rather put pattern in right after switching display on than having to swipe first. It has no logic whatsoever. But of course, if you like it, you could also want to get rid of quick toggles, shortcuts... They make it too fast, don't they?

Curious, i have an option to buy a 360 for 120$ (used for a month, from a friend), and i wanted to know the expectations regarding the unit itself, compatibility with the N4, and most important of all, battery life impact on the N4.

Thank you all in advance.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregk232:
Battery life is hardly impacted on the N4 with a Moto 360 paired.

There is one big annoyance... if you take the phone outside of the watch's range, and you are using a bluetooth headset, it can cut out the audio. To get around this, you need to manually disconnect the watch from the phone when you know you will be away from it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masri1987:
thanks for prompt response, and i'm glad to hear battery life is hardly impacted, i finally have a solid device getting me 7-8hrs of SOT and now i was hoping to build on to that with getting a 360 and was curious with battery...

I probably wouldn't be taking the phone outside of watch's range but i will keep that in mind.

Are there any tempered glass screen protecters for the 360? Also any benefits of root?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregk232:
The SOT i had in this post was with my Moto 360 connected the whole time.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masri1987:

Wow man pretty great battery. Care to share your set up? Any themes to take advantage of amoled screen? frozen apps? etc. I see you had mobile data disconnected for a very big portion of the day do you do this manually or use something like tasker to automate?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kensiko32:
Hey all,

my wife dropped my previous Nexus 4 many times and now the screen is dead. Would like to sell it for parts. Digitizer still works. Now, I would like to clean everthing, and it a perfect world, install Lollipop!

But, I need to get access to the phone. I've spent many hours now reading different methods, but I'm getting to a common issue: USB debug (ADB) not enabled. I would need to get in recovery mode and put a custom ROM. However, even with the method to get into recovery mode, I would need the screen at the choice at boot to select Recovery, unless someone here tells me exactly what button to press to get into this.

I'm also open for any other solution.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Is the bootloader unlocked? Do you have a custom recovery? If your bootloader is unlocked you can boot into twrp custom recovery and get access to your files though it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kensiko32:
Well I only got in the boot when I got the phone the first time a year ago and wiped everything to factory, so I don't think I still have the bootloader unlocked, unless wiping everything doesn't wipe the bootloader.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Unless you specifically unlocked it using fastboot or a tool kit I doubt it's unlocked. Which is too bad because it would have made it easier to get to the files. Now you'll have to blindly use the keys to get into recovery and do a factory reset. And hope for the best because you'll probably never know for sure whether you got it right or not.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] enigma9o7:
I really don't know what I'm doing here.

I've been using CM11 for probably 6 months now, when I originally installed it I followed cynagenmod's wiki and used recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.4-xt926. Since then I'd updated several times using the phone menu. That quit working on the past couple versions I tried, something like "Unfortunately, CMUpdater has stopped".

I've been having some problems for about a week connecting to google+ (and my location is no longer sharing which annoys my wife), probably unlreated, but I decided I better figure out how to update my phone to the latest CM11, which looks to have stopped a month ago, but still newer than what I was running. I vaguely recalled something about pushing a volume button and power (when powered off) to load recovery bootloader or something... I figured I'd try that and see if there what was on those menus then go from there (hoping to install the CMupdate from there).

I couldn't remember if it was volume up or down or both or what, so I just tried volume up + boot. I figured I'd get a menu options, nothing would happen by itself. I was wrong. It showed a screen with an android with open belly for a while, then rebooted, said something about updating android then updating apps 1-62 or something... went on for a while... then finishing booting.

All seems normal. I was a little worried it was doing some type of reset or wipe or I dunno what. But not only does it appear normal, it updated to latest CM version. All by itself. I'm happy with results actually, but I have no idea what happened.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I would recommend using the latest TWRP.

The absolute latest compiled for our device can be found here.

The latest official TWRP is 2.7.1.2, which is also fine - but I believe it will not flash CM12 properly. At least it won't take advantage of the new F2FS file system.

My dad has this phone & I was considering hooking him up with Nova Prime, does it work well/completely with the edge screen? If not, what's missing or doesn't quite function properly?

Thanks in advance.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TADitto:
Still using nova launcher and it works flawlessly on note edge, have never had an issue with it. I believe that the edge screen has it own UI so nova doesn't do anything to the edge screen nor does it affect the way it works.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anh513bmx:
It hides the edge screen by default when you're on the home screen. You have to swipe it to bring it up and there's no way to change that. That's my only issue.
