...backup... ...backup... ...backup... Learned early on in my use of mobile devices: never consider a mobile device to be the primary storage for anything. Guess you just learned that yourself :(
[HTC Excalibur] JAmerican:
How do you backup the phone. Sprite Backup is terrible. It doesn't do a great job at all. It just causes your device to be unstable after you restore it because you cannot remove programs.

JAmerican
[HTC Excalibur] McHale:
not necessarily the phone, but the data that is on it. I'm not a big fan of the phone backup software. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But your device is better off if you reinstall everything. Kinda like how your PC should get reloaded from scratch every once in a while.

ActiveSync will backup the data in your MyDocuments folder on the device if you tell it to. I manually copy the data on the microSD card over to my other device's miniSD card.

Same happend to me some weeks ago, but it hit my wife ;)
[HTC Excalibur] bittermormon:
did your wife get mad when you chopped her up at 10pm too?

I have had SD's go bad in the past so i always back mine up (when I remember) too.
[HTC Excalibur] xandermac:
Put the phone in flight mode (turn off the pgone radio) before you reboot and it will not loop on you. Sorry for the problem though, that sucks.
[HTC Excalibur] UnicornKaz:
Sprite works well for me ... no problem here:

the trick is to:

/ clear storage before restore ( everytime )

/ use the "SP_AllowCertificateInstall.cab" ( posted somewhere on forum already )

...Make sure you re-boot your device before running SDA_ApplicationUnlock

/ use the "SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe" ( posted somewhere on forum already )

/ Now you can run the EXE that was created by SPRITE ... but not before the above 3 steps.

;)
[HTC Excalibur] sp4rky:
Haha that is crazy man, although it seems like that would be my luck too.
[HTC Excalibur] chaznet:
I agree, Sprite Backup is awful. But, in this case, the poster mentioned it was the document files on his MircoSD card that were important enough to tear apart his car. You don't need to backup the device to backup files on a storage card -- just drag them over with ActiveSync, or, put the card in an adapter, put it in your latop and drag the files into a folder on your PC.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] nazcalito:
phone got wet and started bootlooping when I plugged it into a charger. I dried the phone out by putting it in uncooked rice and it now works fine except that when i make or receive a call the screen goes dark. Proximity sensor finder reports last distance as zero and the reading doesn't change when I put finger over proximity sensor or take it off. Is this a hardware problem?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] RealityFails:
Have you tried to pull it away and look at it? Cause even during a call my screen stays dark but when I pull away it comes back on.

Any comments about the application ?
[Android Apps and Games] Mevolent:

[Android Apps and Games] Mevolent:
Forgive my ignorance, but why does the app require permission to DIRECTLY call and send SMS?

Call Blocker

Thank you for using MP Security App - Call blocker needed a direct permission to block the in-coming calls.

Here you can see all the call blocker has the Direct call permission : https://play.google.com/store/search?q=Call%20blocker&c=apps&hl=en

Anti Theft need the SMS permission : If you try to replace the sim card, it will send the new sim card number to your backup numbers.

[Android Apps and Games] Mevolent:
I know that, I trust all the developers on here, was just curious though.

So far the app hasn't given me any problems, I'm happy with it! I think it may just be a keeper ?
[Android Apps and Games] jacksparao:
Don't worry

I was doing the security app for android since 2011 and many of all of my application posted over xda portal, am sure this will be posted too.. If you can share write a review about the application over play store and here, it will be great for us to improve the same..

Thanks in advance..
[Android Apps and Games] Mevolent:

[Android Apps and Games] Theworld2020:
Positive or Negative, Need Feed back... :):):)
[Android Apps and Games] Mevolent:
It's all good, but it has quite a few features that I won't use, such as call/SMS blocker, task killer (built in my ROM), data/WiFi usage tracker, app locker, GSM/WCDMA info, junk cleaner and the app history.

If I have to be honest, (for me, anyway) it has a few too many unnecessary features, but the main aspect works well, so I will definitely be keeping this. (please let me know if I missed out a few things)

EDIT: One thing I would like to see would be a battery history/information function.

Great work!

This app does what it says and I like it.. Glad it isn't considering my root, xposed and all as safe apps unlike other mobile Antivirus apps like eset.. So was hesitant to use it initially but I will surely recommend this for its anti theft features.. I need a clarification.. if a person who stole my mobile and removes Sim and tries to use my mobile without Sim means how can I send text to my own number to locate or lock or wipe?
[Android Apps and Games] Mevolent:
Yes, it does, but it has unnecessary features, like a 'booster'. I think it would be good to add a monitor, and monitor only. No silly 'booster' apps, especially when there's Greenify or a task killer.

Sent from my D855 running Cloudy 2.3, with Gabriel's kernel. Oh, and with Tapatalk.
[Android Apps and Games] jacksparao:
Let me explain

In general we suggest you to use PIN - minimum 6 digits, the security system we use is permission with different algorithm.. Avast or AVG any one in android just use the permission based algorithm,.

If the person remove sim card then you can't send sms, but once the theft or any person add the new sim card the backup number which you registered already, you will receive the sim card number immediately , once the sms is trigged then your phone will be locked, the person can't access any of your private information, we are trying to encrypt the complete devices once the sms received or sent. This way we will make sure the user phone is 100% safe.

Any other doubt feel free to ask me..
[Android Apps and Games] jacksparao:

In future, we will remove certain things, but as of now.. the current process moniter will help people to understand what is happening on the devices, we are deleting the right junk file which can speed up the devices..

[Android Apps and Games] highfish:
for now: good work, keep on!

- Junk/garbage cleaner: would be nice if there is a possibility to have a look on that files before deleting. I only see e.g. "57.5MB found!", but i can`t check, which files will now be deleted...(or I don`t find it :) )

- And, is there a possibility to "automate" that process for your suggested "clean (3) thrice a day..." like a in app cronjob which runs 3 times a day?

- Suspicious Apps: If there is a "High Risk Level" app e.g. paypal, can I mark that app as "safe" because I wanted that app and i know that it is risky....?

I used a lot the app "smart booster" which have similar functions (but no antivir), and I liked that kind of implementation

I'm on a Rooted Samsung Galaxy Note 3, Sprint model with Lolipop version 5.

So I went into Recover Mode & selected the wipe cache option, after spending several hours reading older posts here about how this is a good thing & is just spring cleaning & will do no harm to your phone & might even speed up your phone.

I selected it & then I selected reboot & then promptly got an error message on the dead droid icon & then this message :

"Process system isn't responding

do you want to close it?"

THEN I get several more pop ups

unfortunately, MTP app stopped

unfortunately, Media Storage has stopped

unfortunately, Settings has stopped

unfortunately, Security log agent stopped

unfortunately, Touchwiz home has stopped

unfortunately, Google play services has stopped

I get those messages over & over again, can't log in at all.

How screwed am I?

How can I fix it without doing a factory reset again?

EDIT

in the recovery meni i have these options now

reboot system now

apply update from adb

apply update from external storage

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

apply update from cache

at the bottom is

# manual mode #

-- applying multi-csc..

applied the csc-code: spr

Successfully applied multi-csc.

What do I do?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aniyan.rajan6:
Hello,

I am planning to buy a smart phone. I have seen the models: Nexus5, LG G2 and LG G4 in a nearby shop.

I have the following questions:

Is it possible for LG G2 (and G4) to receive updates from google instantly, like Nexus 5 ? (The shop people said that it is possible)

Is LG G2 comes with stock android ?

Please advice. Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wakamatsu:
Anything is "possible" but only the Nexus 5 receives updates directly from Google from your list. And it won't be instant. It will be an incremental rollout.

Let's be clear on the terminology. I'm not aware of a phone that comes with stock Android (AOSP).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekz13:
you'd also have to consider carrier branding, if your G2 or G4 are (for example) ATT, then the releases would have to go through ATT for approval before they are pushed to your phone. Nexus is google so they are directly rolled out incrementally to the nexus line (no carrier involvement)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
G2 and G4 will never get update from google. The android on G2 and G4 are heavily modifed and reskined it is nothing like the stock android on nexus phones. Also if you buy G2 or G4 depening on the phone's origin (fron europe, from usa, from russia, branded phone like att, vodafone, orange, telenor etc) you may get updates with a huge delay or you may never get update.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
LG branded device does not use stock Android, and will not receive quick updates from Google instead it will rely on your carrier for updates like most non-Nexus devices.

LG G2 already stopped receiving updates and in some countries (such as Canada) they will not even release Android 5, it is stuck on Kit Kat.

Nexus 5 will receive Android M in about 6 months, but that may be its last major update.

I'm a noob and this is my first post so please be gentle with critique. I could not find a similar post so I thought I'd offer this up for communal use.

I have been evaluating the URGE subscription music to go service over the past week and kept running into an error during the sync process to my device (error code in the subject line). The track downloads fine, plays fine on the desktop but fails to sync to the device citing the aforementioned error.

I found a solution to the issue although I would not call it a final solution. I'm posting it here so that if anyone else is having this issue they can find a solution on the net via this forum and/or Google.

I found that if I Sign-Out of URGE after downloading the track (w/ proper sync rights) then queue the desired track(s) for sync then "Start Sync" the tracks will sync to the device.

Something about being Signed-In prevents the sync. I do not know why.

Syncing From:

* Custom Built PC

* Win XP SP2 (32 bit)

* Windows Media Player 11.0.5721.5145

* URGE 1.1.9060.0

Syncing To:

* Cingular 8525 (aka HTC Hermes, AT&T 8525)

* Windows Mobile 6 (Black Shadow IV)

* Storage Card (Sandisk 512 MB)

Please help fellow G4 owners.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlienMindbender:
On the phone, in the notifications bar, tap "Media device (MTP)." On the next screen, tap the 3 dot "menu" button, and choose "Install PC drivers." Then, on your PC, in File Explorer, you'll see a new device (LG something). Double-click on that, and it will start installing the PC drivers.

Now, I can't say it's all that useful anyway. Folders I create in the File Manager on the phone, I can't always see on my PC until after I've unplugged and replugged a few times. I can create folders on the SD card through my PC's file browser, but if I try to name them anything (other than the default "New Folder") the operation stalls, the file browser on my PC crashes, and the folder appears on the phone as "New Folder" anyway. I renamed the folder through the phone's File Manager, but on my PC, when I could see the folder, it was still showing up as "New Folder." There are some serious issues with trying to copy between phone and PC.

1. Uninstall all LG Driver/s in your PC, if there's any.

2. Reboot.

3 Go to Start - Then Command Prompt

4. Enter command "shutdown /r /o /f /t 00"

5. Click the "OK" button

6. System will restart to a "Choose an option" screen

7. Then select "Troubleshoot" from "Choose an option" screen

8. Then select "Advanced options" from "Troubleshoot" screen

9. Then select "Windows Startup Settings" from "Advanced options" screen

10. Click "Restart" button

11. System will restart to "Advanced Boot Options" screen

12. Select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement"

13. Restart & install drivers that came with the device (Accessible through MTP options)

Viola! Your device can now be read by your PC.

Hit thanks if that worked for you:)
