[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I would restore that G Pad to totally stock unrooted with the 24A KDZ and if that doesn't somehow fix the problem (which I don't expect), I would exchange the G Pad with Verizon for another one. It is really strange that it would have the same MAC address. I have a different one than yours. Surely an exchanged one wouldn't have the same MAC. If it's too late to exchange through Verizon and flashing pure stock doesn't help, I would say request an RMA from LG.

I had an LCD bleed issue on my VK810 ever since I got the tablet but it only became unbearable lately. I requested an RMA, it got approved in about a day, they sent a barcode for FedEx, I didn't even have to box it up. LG paid for the box and shipping. I dropped it at FedEx on late Friday or maybe a Saturday. FedEx didn't actually do anything with it until Monday. They replaced the LCD and I had it back FOUR days after that in my hands, on Friday and it works great. It's not a refurb, it's the same one just fixed.

Likely your problem would be even easier for them to fix. I'm sure they have the software to do it it.

Well guys, I decided to go back to the Nexus 7 as my primary device.

I will not longer be updating this ROM however you can visit my site at www.scottsroms.com for support.

If anyone wants to take the CleanROM base and use it for there own to post out on XDA then please do so!

Its been fun!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jongordo8:
i have a nexus 5 that is completely stock. I used to have it rooted but decided to go back to stock for lollipop. I am running android 5.1. Since I have had lollipop I have zero gps capability. I feel like I have read every thread on the subject and tried every suggestion, but I can never get the gps to lock.

I have tried the. Card stock gps antenna fix, didn't work.

I tried factory reset

I tried device only

I have used gps test and fix

I have used gps status and toolbox

I tried safe mode

I tried mapquest

Bottom line my gps doesn't work at all, it used to, but not anymore. Any ideas on what to do?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThDeK:
Same thing here and I also tried most of what you describe --- 5.1 (LMY47D), clean install (no OTA). :(

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThDeK:
I used GPS Test and GPS Status -- here are two screenshots: i.imgur.com/o2B5QCk.png

Meanwhile I flashed LMY47I and re-installed everything from scratch. It still feels sluggish but now I can get at least a GPS fix after a couple seconds. Hope it stays this way.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jongordo8:
I just wanted to update everyone...I wiped the phone clean and flashed the phone to the latest stock. GPS issues remained, so I rooted it and tried the GPS.config tip and it didn't help either. Then I downloaded FasterGPS and used it (basically does the same thing the GPS trick linked above does) and now it works again. It takes about a minute for it to lock so it isn't super fast to lock, but it works and I have not heard the GPS signal lost since I did FasterGPS.

Thanks for all the advice and suggestions.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Astrognauta:
Hi guys,

I've got this new device four days ago, and experienced this WiFi issue:

Connection was very slow, and sometimes freezed. I've seen this happening while i was upgrading from 5.0 To 5.1, then experienced the same issue after the upgrade.

I've tested 3 different routers, made a speedtest every time and tried Play Store downloads and Youtube HD videos. Did a facotry reset twice, too.

Is it possibile that the hardware is malfunctioning?

Thanks and kind rewards,

Francesco.

1. Please make backup / rename your "SecMms_Delight_Open.apk" first. Location: system/priv-app/SecMms_Delight_Open

2. Download attached modded "SecMms_Delight_Open.apk"

3. Replace the original apk and change permission to rw-r-r. Location: system/priv-app/SecMms_Delight_Open

4. Reboot, enjoy.

* There will be no setting to turn on/off the screen while receiving SMS. If you want to turn it back on, you need to restore back your original "SecMms_Delight_Open.apk".

* I mod the apk from [MENTION=693309]edgarf28[/MENTION] XtreStoLite Deo-Mod Edition v2.1. So it should include other mods such as disable SMS -> MMS auto conversion.

* Tested to be okay on my G920F. I'm not sure whether it will be working on other devices or ROM. Feel free to try and report back.
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] Slie:
I am very interested in what this does. I have a vague idea based off this description but would like to know more before I root to enjoy this mod.

Thank you!

Maybe screen shot or something.
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] DrearierJester1:
It looks like it disables the phone to wake up when an sms is received as normally the phone will wake up. Also by default longer SMS such as 3 parts it converts to mms but this one it will stay as sms.
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] twinh3ad:
Sir, I don't think any screenshot is needed. The interface is 100% the same as stock messaging app. I just made a small modification to ensure no screen wakeup while receiving SMS. No cosmetic change has been made at all.
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] twinh3ad:

I'll be honest. I only searched for this thread to find the location of the messenger file. I used a stock rooted 5.1.1 ROM file to replace it (I am on 5.1.1). I actually like it the way it is except the fact that mine allows to send blank messages, which bothered me:

http://gyazo.com/88a43dc93e0f3b1d27dac8848572e2d6

Does yours gray out when there is no message or is it the same?

I was wondering if you could PM me the original, unaltered version so I can push it to the system folder?

I am on XtreStoLite 5.1.1 De-odexed.
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] twinh3ad:
Bro, you can't push odexed app to deodexed rom. That's why your messenger gone missing. And yes, I also can send blank message like you, like everyone else.

I'd installed King Root on a 23.1.A.0.726 - got root with it, installed dualrecovery, falshed the same FW as prerooted, removed king root and use now supersu :)

i cant install the recovery...

I rooted with kingroot, downloaded the dual recovery installer, installed all divers, killed all adb instances an Sony Software. Just startet the dual recovery inataller, choose Option 1 and thats it.

Bootloader is locked, drm keys are still present, supersu need to be installed via recovery / pre rooted Firmware.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] krugu:
Maybe you have rebooted after you rooted, I did so wrongly. Solved flashing again the firmware, reinstalled kingroot, then recovery. And finally supersu. It seems to work!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Fuzark:
Recovery can't install here. Option 1 need supersu to complete install recovery. What can i do?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] krugu:
this is how it worked here:

0- Flash Firmware 23.1.A.1.28

1- Install KingRoot

2- Root with KingRoot. Important - do NOT restart the device yet

3- Install and run Z3C-lockeddualrecovery2.8.15-RELEASE.installer

4- reboot to TWRP and Flash SuperSU v2.49

5- clean everything and enjoy!

:good:
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] jarayn:
Why are you using some crazy Chinese hack when you can do it properly the old fashioned way?

There's no way i would use something like this unless there were no other option, and for some reason I absolutely needed root.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
The auto-start manager of the "Kinguser" app seems deadset on prohibiting the auto-start of my Avira antivirus.

I can't fully trust this shady app, but it works so I will just keep the Kinguser app disabled and only enable it when I need a root thing done.

By the way, you can uninstall the other two apps, "KingRoot" and "KingMaster", the root only needs "Kinguser" to work.

If your IMEI is blacklisted (might be a chance...), you can't use your phone anymore for calls, texts, data. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Mobile_Station_Equipment_Identity#Blacklists_of_stolen_devices
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] krugu:
It's not so easy!

Example: last November, someone stole my phone, now the phone is in another country, surely I know the IMEI and I told the police.

But you can not do a damn thing!

And if the phone was still in my country probably it was the same... :cool:
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] norti:
Other countries/providers take this more seriously, you'll never know when your IMEI will be blacklisted if it was sent to a third party and they use it with another device in spoofing.

For statistics? I don't think so!

Maybe someone could recycle stolen phones removing the old imei and putting yours.

Give your imei to nobody!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] heywheelie:
How does kingroot send the IMEI details home? via wi-fi, mobile data or actually phone home (if that's even possible)?

I suggest you follow krugu's instructions to root with kingroot then install new recovery and flash supersu. Then remove kingroot. Do it all with wi-fi and mobile data turned off so kingroot can't send any data home.

With supersu installed you should have root so no need for kingroot.

worth a try

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
It does work, but Titanium backup gave me a warning that the SU binary from Kingroot is outdated and Titanium backup might not function fully. Although freezing, backing up and uninstalling apps has worked. But I ended up reinstalling my phone software clean with PCC, because Kinguser's unroot function didn't work, and changing to SuperSU failed because I had already rebooted my phone after the root process.

It would be great if someone could somehow figure out Kingroot's exploit and make a safe and trusted tool using that exploit.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] heywheelie:
fair comment, however successfully I've rooted quite a few phones and none have had as many steps as the one to root the ZC3 and save DRM keys etc. I know it's a relatively new process (bounty not long closed) but I was hoping that someone would have written a scrip by now that automated the process. I guess that's why kingroot appeals to me but I want to know more about the IMEI number being sent home.

So you are now using Chainfire's SuperSU? What version? Do you still have root after a reboot? Are you able to update SuperSU? Do you have full read/write permissions on all folders/directories and media?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] kzchy:
Yes to all questions. I have the most recent version of SuperSU.

_____

1. Download and install the latest version of Kingroot.

Start the application and tap "Root".

Put SuperSU.zip to internal storage (you'll need that later on).

You don't have a complete root access yet. IMPORTANT!!! Do not reboot untill you finish the whole process!

2. Then you'll need to open KingUser and tap "Root authorization" (this app was installed along with the partial root access that you gained with the first step). Click ADB Program > Allow.

3. Turn on "USB Debugging" in the settings (developer options) and "Unknown sources" (Security), just in case go to display settings and make sure that your display will only go to sleep after 5 mins of inactivity.

4. From your PC install the latest version of XZDualRecovery onto your phone in order to get the full read/write access to System partition. Connect your phone to PC via USB.

Start install.bat and type "1" in the command window, on your phone accept the request for superuser permissions for ADB.

5. Your phone will now automatically reboot to recovery. Install SuperSU.zip > boot up.

6. Remove Kingroot.
