[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chraisy:
Hello,

I accidentally deleted some files in my phone that was rooted (since I bought from china it was rooted) and now it's not booting. It appears the android logo and doesn't go further.

I bought it at Aliexpress and the product description was:

3G GPS WCDMA cell phone Lenovo phone S4 MTK6592 Octa core 2GB Ram 5'' 1920*1280 dual SIM 13M free ship

but it's clearly not an original Lenovo.

I have already done the factory reset and cahe reset but it hasn't changed.

I can acess the factory menu in chinese (vol up + vol down + power) and in english (vol up + power).

When I go in "version info" I got the results bellow:

SW Ver.: ALPS. JB3.MP.V1.6Custom Build Vern android.2014.08.11

Unfortunatly the phone is not on Aliexpress anymore, but I attached here the snapshot from when I bought it.

Can someone help me fixing my phone, please?

Thank you,
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shadovraven:
I have a question for people who are using lollipop right now. I saw that there is a ultra stamina mod in that version for z ultra. It is a nice addition but it's kind of useless as well as low power saving mode present in kitkat. I wonder if Sony have added a cpu option In low power saving mode, which is there on Z3 for example? That would make this mode actually useful.

............. When I upgraded to Lollipop 5.0 I found that Google Maps will open and show where I am but when I start to move the GPS loses connection. As long as I am stationary its fine but Navigation will not follow me anymore. I have tried downgrading to NCE using Odin, muniz_ri guide in General Forum, then checked and it didn't work so Upgraded to 5.0 with ROOT and checked but still didn't work then tried Twi5ted v6 - TMS 1.0-1.1 then Alliance 8 and now at TMS 2.O.. Did a clean install everytime but it never worked. I did a search and only found 1 thread and the guy was able to fix it with a clean flash but unfortunately I have tried 10 of them without a fix. ..... Just asking if anyone has any ideas because I can use my AT&T insurance but I really am nervous that they will give me a new phone already on 5.0 so I won't be able to ROOT it. Anyone have an idea? I am literally lost :rolleyes: ...........
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Player04:
I did a clean install. I start from NCE, 5.0 lolipop and then install TMC 2.0. I know my GPS works well because when I was on stocked rooted 5.0 , it works. I was using the GPS while driving. Its dead on accurate. This rom cause lost GPS signal. My brother is on Alliance rom and also have lost GPS signal. Im going to flash back to Stock rooted 5.0. :confused:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Jamesyboy:
I'm looking for a way to handle reasonably secure documents. The idea is: I open the app/document, and the viewer has a few minutes (doesn't have to be timed). In order to give a reasonable amount of protection to other data, in order to leave the app, a password is required. So...a password is required to open the app, and to close the app.

I can encrypt the device to avoid restart and external exploitation. Extra Brownie Points if I could have the app open upon turning on the screen, and after leaving the app, you're sent to the lock screen where a password would be. In this scenario, this "mode" or app requires a password to enter the app, and if they try to access the rest of the device by exiting the app or pressing the home button, they're brought to the locked lock screen. I suppose this particular one would protect against the user simply restarting the device as well, but it would let me know that they tried to exit the app, and might have tried to access your data.

Also, while I'm not so worried about USB exploitation, it'd be nice if there was a way for me to turn off USB recognition.

I suppose this could be accomplished via some combination of an app locker and lock screen.

Just as well, it'd be uber cool if I could have this app be a secure, password protected launcher protected that only shows this one file or one app.

Maybe some type of kids-mode? Or store mode? But I want to protect against force closes, app closes, restarts, and turning the screen on and off.

If you're having difficulty imagining the scenario, just imagine that you wanted to show a PDF (perhaps proof of insurance) to a police officer, but you didn't want them looking at your photos or other text messages Like these guys:

http://www.cnet.com/news/cop-charged-with-stealing-nude-photos-from-suspects-iphone/

SO....how on earth do I do this?

*EDIT*: I suppose if I could password protect a launcher, I could then install an app that password protects all appslauncher, and then hide all apps but one...but it would have to require a password to change the launcher or enter the settings app. I'd then have to figure out a way to protect the device.... and hide all files and apps except the one document and the one app, sandbox style.

Edit: I tried my VoLTE supported SIM and I managed to get the VoLTE toggle to show. I'll attach a picture.

I have no idea about how AT&T does things. But if their network and phone supports VoLTE I don't see a reason they won't let you use VoLTE.

And BTW, both my carriers support VoLTE, just that one of them let's me toggle it while the other one doesnt.

You could backup your current setup before you switch to BOAF. Then backup your new set-up too.

This is my phones information after the LP flash but before the TWRP flash. I have two Note 4's. One official Verizon Note 4 that is up to date and this DE Note 4.

By comparing the two I have not seen any brightness problems so far after the LP flash. But so far I have not been able get the Bluetooth working. I'm going to wait to do the TWRP flash after I do some more testing. I believe I must do it before Verizon pushes out a update to LP .

EDIT:Bluetooth works
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stueycaster:
I'd suggest you flash the kernel. The kernel connects the software to the hardware. It might fix it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doctor-cool:
I got Bluetooth working. I haven't found any problems yet..

What comes first the kernel flash or the TWRP flash?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stueycaster:
TWRP first then use it tp flash SuperSU and the kernel.

I would suggest (with formatting and all) that you use the WiKi for something like this. You can have a thread here that then takes you to the WiKi page(s). Heck, even a seperate WiKi page for each rom that is maintained by the ROM cookers and their "fans" might be worthwhile (I've thought about setting up a Wiki page for my roms in the past, but just never did follow through with it. I think Faria's AKU 3.3 has a Wiki page where it lists known issues and fixes.)

One of the benefits with using the Wiki is that anyone can maintain it (unlike the first posts in the forums which can only be maintained by the OP).

Hello, I have CWM for long time but that's second time when I used it to restore my stock firmware with apps from a backup made before changing a ROM.

I was using Cyanogenmod 12.1 and before it I did backup of my stock firmware by CWM.

The problem is, when I did restore from a backup, It restored system well, but ... not exactly data.

System booted well, but I don't see any of my apps. Hovewer, when I check in App Manager, I see many apps that i HAD installed but they are shown as 0,00 B weight and have "android" icon.

Memory of my phone is filled as same as when I did backup but apps don't show.

How should I use restore from backup to restore entire system well?

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkyevolved:
Hello everyone! I'm thinking of getting rid of my Note 4 and getting an Xperia Z3. Don't get me wrong, the Note 4 is a great device, but for the money, the amount of lag and terrible low-light and indoor pictures and pretty bad battery life is just too much for me.

The most important things for me are:

Battery life

Performance (multitasking)

Camera

All the blogs said the Note 4 was the device for me, but over the last 3 roms I haven't been able to fix ANY of these issues.

How's the Z3? :) Are you guys generally speaking happy with it? Has anyone played with the Note 4 and could maybe shine some light on their opinion and experiences? Thanks! :)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
Battery life is awesome. I have 6+ hours of display on time on one charge. Without any battery savings ie (stamina, ultra stamina, low battery mode) which you can turn on.

Lag, well I never had lag on this phone, 3gb of ram does really good job.

About camera. Well this is more personal opinion. Some will tell you it's bed, someone will tell you it's good.

Truth is that people perception pictures difrently and also have different preference so it should be best to go to center, take Z3 and check your self.

For me, camera is good. I always use superior auto mode which does really good job. Panorama photo should be better.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkyevolved:
That's all good to know! I remember I had the z2 which gave me generally very top performance. But I had hardware issues with 5 of them. So I just gave up on it.

The note 4 has 3gb of ram which is great. But the note has some serious issues with memory management. For example, sometimes while actively multitasking by switching through apps, all of a sudden it will clear out all of my apps! All of them! When 3 seconds before they were all open and just fine!

There is a huge lag when opening a picture I had just taken. Or even trying to press the share button. It's a very well documented case which Samsung hasn't fixed. [emoji35] and battery drain with little to no usage. No rogue apps either. Strange cases for such a premium device.

My partner has the Z Ultra. If it weren't for the camera I would have picked up one for myself. He's very content with it, even after a year. I've had the note 4 for a few months and I'm going crazy! Haha.

Thanks for your input. ?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
Z3 dosent have this problems, all apps are handled in RAM. even after few hours i pick multi task and go to some app and its still open.

All animation and task go really fluently. I have no words for this.
