Hi :)

I'm new developer of app and now I want to pubblish the my apps on google playstore. I was going to sign up on the google developer console but one doubt has appeared to me :

Is better to use my my real name with my real e-mail or is better to use a second account with fake name ? :confused:

What do you suggest ?
[General Marketing & SEO] Argurth:
You should use your real name, if google find out you've used a fake name, you're gonna have a bad time.

For the email, you could create you a specific one for your dev activities.

Also, take note that if you publish an app, you will also have to provide a physical adresse, which is displayed publicly.
[General Marketing & SEO] 1a11ous:
Use your correct information or you'll find yourself in quite some problems when asked to verify your identity
[General Marketing & SEO] adlerhn:
Also, if you plan on selling your app, or monetising it via ads, in the end you will need to provide your real data (name, address, bank account, etc).

Plus, it can serve as part of your online resumé for future jobs.
[General Marketing & SEO] aeroxr1:
Thanks guys ! Then I open account with real name :)
[General Marketing & SEO] maxnexus:
I'd also suggest using a real name.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalfan78:
I've got a random glitch that I can't pic down, and I haven't been able to find a solution. Randomly, my lockscreen reverts to "no security" and I have to rechoose which lockscreen I want to use. Also, USB debugging gets unchecked. It happens every few days. I'm on my MetalRom, but it has done it on stock too. Could be app related, but I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this too.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalfan78:
After some testing, this seems to occur after using kids mode. I'm not sure why, but my wife's stock unrooted s5 does not do this.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdunham:
Usb debugging can be set in build.prop persist.mode.usb=1 or something like that, don't remember exactly. Don't know about the other issue. I've heard issues with fingerprint security but I can't recall about that one exactly either.

I have that edit in my build.prop, the lockscreen one is strange.

Bad news is, that the problem has not been solved and probably will not as it seems that it's hardware-failure of the flash-storage-(controller).

[MENTION=6587426]cxxxx[/MENTION]

I read about it on the moto forums, with users having lost write operations on their phone. And all had one thing in common, they had let the battery die out .

Lesson to be learnt : Never let Li ion batteries totally get drained.

One of the moto moderator told it on their forum to never let your battery totally die. I dont know how much of it rings true as I've let my phone discharged till death many times without any issues.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mediazikos:
Same problem here.

After the battery gone once i did't manage to enter. Services errors at android home screen and i can't do recovery - wipe data - cache (all failed). The only thing that i manage is to unlock bootloader.

My question: I 'm thinking to send device for warranty (buying one month ago). Do you think that i 'll have problem with unlock bootloader at service. Somewhere i read that motorola have 2 year warranty for software no matter what. Is that real??? :confused:
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darksl1der:
HardBricked unlocked stock lollipop xt1068

Same problem here. But no enconding is on thou.

Can't flash anything - stuck on black screen after boot animation.

XT1068 Unlocked bootloader, stock lollipop, no root, no Motorola service in my country.

Once this devices gone hardbrick, after freaky TWRP could not backup or do anything else. Just could not turn in on at all.

Recovered with jtag riff drivers, but this seems to help bootup, not to flash firmwares - so its not applicable for this case.

RSD Lite 6.1.6 can't see phone, ADB sideload form stock recovery gives no device for adb or windows device manager, but fastboot is okay.

Tryed different computers, different drivers, different stock roms, different fastboot\mfastboot tools, recover scripts.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicolaumpneto:
Hi, guys. I'd face the same problem, but I can boot up, using a Nokia phone charger. Don't know how to explain, but the moto g 2014 charger can't charge enough to boot, when the battery is 0%, then come back to the black screen. With the nokia charger, my moto g boot up normally.

Sorry for my bad english.

Nico
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darksl1der:
For all those users with soft-bricked "nothing changes after any actions", what if we try to use:

Fastboot erase all

If this would work - bootloader will be dead. We will get the hard brick.

But I have experience of successful recovering xt1068(exactly this one) from hard-brick state, when decice does not turn on at all in any way or mode since bootloader is missing or corrupted.

But PC still can see it over USB cable as QBULC_USB. This one would not work with Motorola drivers nor with any other, but JTAG Riff drivers for QUALCOMM.

Then special low-level tool will load up bootloader.

So? Any suggestions about this?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tonal4Nagual:
I think it is not good idea. With fastboot erase all you will erase your imei along with psd partition and your phone will be unrecoverable.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darksl1der:
No way of backing up this data?

I remember some of mine old RAZR - I had some backup of unique data for it.

BTW I have the box with IMEI on it, CID saved in notepad, what else...

Stock fw with no root and THIS with no reason.

Also - right before stucked - phone has drained battery from 60% to 0% in pretty short time, then this happened.

Maybe there is some hardware problem with electric circuit..
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leader0fr4tz:
With my device bricked like this I have tried, CHMOD which has unable to alter the partitions, as well as CHOWN & CHGRP(in both TWRP & ADB), Fastboot erase does nothing along with ADB wipe, TWRP does nothing and no changes can be made as nothing is overwritten, as well as with using Fastboot flash, there have been rumors that Philz can fix it but since nothing can be flashed I cannot try (Unless someone has a way to flash it to SD and let it boot from there, Let me know)

Now with my limited knowledge of android and its partitions and since none of the above methods having any effect I believe that this issue is in fact a hardware one not software related, therefore I think 'Fastboot erase all" will have no effect, that is my opinion gathered from more than two weeks testing, wiping & hoping, if there are any senior users/devs who want to correct me they may, Also if they have any other options I will be glad to try it out.

EDIT: This is purely a hardware fault and no software changes can do anything, I ran Fastboot erase all

...and a reboot later and my device is exactly the same, even boots into recovery fine and fastboot barcodes still shows my original IMEI and Serial number, ADB getvar_cid still also shows the correct CID for my device.

I would upload pictures but I haven't got enough posts to link to tinypic

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soxyl:
Hi,

I'm trying to run a custom init.d script on my HTC One (m7) which is running on Cyanogemod 12.1 (The problem existed already in 12.0). The problem is that none of the scripts are executed at boot time.

Looking at the "init.cm.rc" script i found the following snippets that look like the "sysinit" command should be triggered at boot time.

[...]

on post-fs-data
[...]

# Run sysinit
start sysinit

[...]

# sysinit (/system/etc/init.d)
service sysinit /system/bin/sysinit
user root
oneshot
disabled

I even tried removing the "disabled" parameter but the "sysinit" command is still not executed at boot time.

If I run the "sysinit" command on a root shell the scripts are executed as the should.

Anybody an idea what I'm missing?

Thanks in advance!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lfom:
Hi.

I am also running CM12.1 on a w7dsn device, and init.d wasn't working. I was able to get it running by using the init.sh script as described here:

http://techtrickz.com/how-to/fix-xposed-framework-installation-issue-on-nexus-6/

I've just downloaded the script and run it from my sdcard, no other steps are necessary.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galets:
I am trying to get init.d working on d2vzw, and no luck. The script you linked to works by replacing /system/etc/install-recovery.sh, but my build has no such file. What a drag with CM...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lfom:
Mine didn't have either, but after installing the script (and creating install-recovery.sh) then my scripts in init.d started to be run after every boot. ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galets:
You must turn off selinux in order for init.d to work
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sourc7:
I'm using CyanogenMod 12.1 ROM on my phone, to enable the init.d you have to remove the /system/bin/sysinit then recreate the similar filename with the same content and permissions (755, root, shell).

#!/system/bin/sh

export PATH=/sbin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin
run-parts /system/etc/init.d
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptrakk:
Was it the init.rc from the boot.img initrd, or the one from the rootfs /boot.img?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweakradje:
Just change the permissions of all files in /etc/init.d folder to 755.

Also if you use the /data/local/userinit.sh change that to 755.

Leave the /system/bin/sysinit file as it is.

#!/system/bin/sh
export PATH=/sbin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin
for i in /system/etc/init.d/*; do
if [ -x $i ]; then
/system/bin/log -t sysinit Running $i
$i
fi
done
