[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowao:
I am trying to extract my contacts from a nandroid backup. But I am getting stuck on one small step. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am unable to install this nandroid to my phone. All I need out of it is the contacts.

-Download Nandroid Manager

-Look in \data\com.android.providers.Contacts\databases in the extracted folders

-Copy all files out of this folder

-Give the following permission all files.

Premission Needed in Lollipop 5.1:

rw-rw- --

u0_a3

u0_a3

The only issue I am having is my contacts isn't updating correctly. It doesn't seem to take this change. Is this the wrong location or is it the wrong permission?

Current driver: Ascend Mate 2 Version: Lollipop 5.1 Software: ES File Browser

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] jiggs:
hey Avis. He did not mention in his steps when to introduce cachefilt, etc.

could you possibly ask him to post the original XIP.bin and the WM6 XIP.bin; so, we could study further. (sorry, I don't speak Russian)

This is promising... :)

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] jiggs:
Oh, I get it. He didn't include cachefilt and stuff because he's still using WM5 system files...

okay I got it. there is rom_00 hdr in map.txt those addresses are the ones I can locate in S000 nk.exe. However, I have flashed my deviced three (3) times already, but it won't boot nor even show the boot screen.

What is not clear to me is step 6. what is my reference map.txt: hima? or uni?

Could you please request for sample xip.bin's so we can study further?

Thanks in advance.

This method will not work in our Himalaya because we need nk.exe that is compatible with the new CORE. Unfortunately, our very old nk.exe is not compatible with WM6 CORE.

I realize this is about the Himalaya,

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 General] Epirex:
Hi all, after long time, users were reporting random reboots when they turn 3G. I ignored the problem until investigate and was caused by new networks 4G

many companies (Like movistar, personal, claro, etc) had added 4G in many areas and this somehow affected our devices (Remember that SGSA don't support 4G!)

But I discovered that settings correct of APN solved this problem :D

however, this don't is my idea, all credits to [MENTION=4480917]Alberto97[/MENTION] for your commit (Devs, your need add this in your device tree for fix this problem)

I did a zip flasheable for the Custom ROMs (No tested in JB stock)

Instructions:

Reboot in recovery

Go to install zip -> install zip from sdcard1

Select "3Gfix.zip" and yes

Go to back and Reboot system now

Good, random reboots with 3G should be solved ;) :D

Remember press button Thanks if this helped

Thanks for reading and happy flashing guys! :cowboy:
[General Questions and Answers] Jon_March:
Hi,

I found the guide here on how to root my Acer Iconia Tab 8. But since I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to computers compared to you guys, I got a bit confused on the instructions. When I launched the launcher.bat or whatever it was, I typed in what was necessary but then it said that the adb was killing. Is there a fix to that? Also, if someone could explain the instructions to me in a simpler and more detailed way, then that would be great.

Thanks :)
[General Questions and Answers] DastanShaikh:
Do u installed ur adb drivers for device..

If not then install it... And try again
[General Questions and Answers] Jon_March:
And how do you that?
[General Questions and Answers] DastanShaikh:
Download drivers from ur device manufacturer's site...

And install it...

Connect ur device...

Then check it in device manager for your device... What it says...if it has a exclamation sign...then drivers are not properly installed or matched...

If not... Then enjoy...

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHeppell:
Hello everyone,

I was just wondering if the ANC (Active Noise Cancelling) is part of a particular app or package that i can back up.

I am looking to install CM12.1 but i use my ANC headphones (the ones that come with the Z2, they have a 5 pole connector and the phone does the processing) a lot and would like to continue using this feature.

I have tried installing CM12 and the function diddn't work so i would assume its a part of a software package.

Thanks for any help, i am getting a bit annoyed with the stock rom.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarif:
I always take photos of my kids playing, but i noticed a big problem with the G4 camera that any moving object looks blurred in the photos even if the movment is slow (eg. Turning heads etc.).

I did not have this problem with my previous Galaxy S5.

Anybody noticed this problem?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedOCtobyr:
Someone mentioned that the camera seems to want to use slow shutter speeds and low ISO values, when left in Auto mode.

As Auto does not provide any adjustments at all, you'd either have to use Manual mode, or try another camera app that allows a little more control. Something to force the camera to use a higher ISO setting, and a faster shutter speed, which would help reduce blurring of moving objects.

Of course, this assumes you are in a well-lit area. If you're indoors, in a moderately-lit area, then you are going to have more trouble regardless.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingFatty:
Manually turn on the flash, that might help. You can toggle the flash mode even if the camera is in auto.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyhamada:
I have kids too and sometimes my pics of them come out blurry too...this is outdoors with a ton of light. These out of focus shots are not a shutter speed thing but more of an auto focus problem.

The camera always wants to re-grab focus whenever you take a picture when the subject is moving. My kids will be in the frame, in focus (green squares on screen to confirm) I push the camera button, then the damn software tries and refocus because my kids are running around, the auto focus pics the wrong focal point and then the shutter snaps...out of focus pic.

I too came from the S5 which had better software. On that phone, if I turned off burst shot, pushing and holding down the camera button would cause the camera to focus on the subject and lock it in, then when I released my finger, it would take an almost instantaneous picture and keep focus... end result always sharp pics of my kids even when running (as long as there was lots of light).

If G4 could have that feature, all would be perfect!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingFatty:
Ah, in that case, maybe try touching the screen to cause the camera to focus on the spot you touched. But, instead of touching the spot where your moving kids are, try touching a non-moving spot on the ground near them, but at the same focal distance. That way, your kids will also be in focus. If that still doesn't work, then maybe switch to manual mode to hold the focus manually.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migidid:
Hello ! As you all know Sound quality has been terrible on our Z1 since Lollipop came out and Sony has done nothing to fix it so now i have gotten enough and i wanna do something about it myself. I have been reading lots about sound mods and have been comparing them with others but i cant seem to find good one to fit my purposes so i decided to ask here. Im not looking for stereo mod or anything speaker related or like that, i just wanna get the true power what it is capable to produce to my headset like on KK and to be able to adjust the equalization and bass etc like we used to before Walkm... i mean Music app sound enchantments stopped working.. i have XPhonePlus Module from XPosed to enable old audio modes but its currently broken or something since doesnt work...

So basicly im looking for audio mod that:

- Brings back the volume that we had in KK. (In LP its much lower volume.)

- Makes equalization working again. (After LP, had never worked, not in Music beta or the not beta one)

- Makes surround work again (--||--)

- As good bass without losing quality as possible

- Being able to keep the sound enchantments in other apps too not just music app

- Works on stock rom

- As stable as possible, im not really good updater.

- Needs to be able to change settings on the fly. (on LP sometimes equalizer settings take effect on reboot)

I know all my requirements arent necessary possible but just something that way !

I have Bluetooth headset and wired one and i use both so it needs to work on both. i listen mostly electronic so extra bass related mod is never a minus. Im not looking to change music app since i like it so that is not an option.

Im taking suggestions and im gonna pick the best one based on popularity and comments so please share your favourite mod here an i will check it out !

Also im a noobie so i might need instructions :D i have root ofc and nuts recovery and xposed. im on .270 5.0.2 LP
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yenkazu:
[MENTION=2465397]migidid[/MENTION]

I'm gonna try to answer :3

1. Edit your mixer_paths.xml, need root, there is also many guide in XDA

2. Equalizer works correctly, I don't know why you have such problem xD

3. Surround works too, but only when using headset/headphone.

4. This need headset/headphone with nice sound range too, you can +bass from stock Equalizer, I'm used Poweramp and Poweramp equalizer + Sony equalizer

5. Sony Sound Effect have a global effect for your speaker and also from another sound media too, but I don't know about surround effects (didn't try this so much) xD

EDIT: It's works on Poweramp, just tested it :3

EDIT2: It's not working on Poweramp, it's "blank" sound, sorry xD

EDIT3: Got a fix, must disable Direct Volume Control and enable MusicFX and you will get Surround Sound effect xD

6. I'm on Sony stock L ROM build .270, rooted

7. Nothing bads, if you know what are you doing xD

8. Sony Equalizer no need reboot to take effect, it's immediate :3

I don't like use Viper or another Sound Mod like that, it's useless (for me), since Sony already have in build Sound Effect. I'm only used nice headphone (not high res), modified mixer_paths.xml and Poweramp. :3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DrexxHaze:
Hey All!

I have this very interesting problem with my SGH-T989D.

I have for years been installing customs ROMs unto my phone. The last ROM I used was CM11 20141201 Sultan Hercules, with the provided GApps. This was installed using CWM 6.0.4.3. I ran this for months with no issues. Earlier this week, I decided I would try something else. I rebooted and went into CWM recovery and did a few things first. I went and Fixed permissions, and formatted various partitions, and also did a factory reset/wipe of the device. Now when I fixed permissions the time it took seemed odd too me. Like almost a minute, and since then I have been having install issues like crazy. So, I basically ended up using ODIN 1.85 to flash a stock ROM I had from T-Mobile. Which seemed to work fine. When i was satisfied the phone was functioning properly, I then proceeded to install CWM 6.0.4.3 using ODIN. It flashed successfully, and it rebooted my device. However, it brought me to the ODIN emergency download window. where it tells you to plug in your phone to the pc and use KIES to recover to the device. Ok, fine I thought to myself, I'll try that. Now KIES doesn't recognize my device. It's definitely not a driver issue because it used to work fine before these problems. I am assuming it has something to do with the firmware counter on my device. Since it says it's at 6 now, even though it's an official ROM. I have also tried using Lorains thread to re-partition the internal memory using the his unmodified PIT file. But Odin crashes at the SET PARTITION screen when trying to flash it So, honestly I'm at a dead end as to what's going on with my device at the moment. Even when I try to flash an early stock version of a Telus ROM, it just keeps going back to emerg ODIN screen, even though ODIN flashes successfully.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me? If you require more information I will do my best to answer.

Thanks a million in advance.

I think you might have to re-partition your phone. Sultan's ROMs partition your phone a certain way and there is a fix for your phone somewhere on here to allow you to install regular types of custom roms.

Hi guys, I bought a new zenwatch and am experiencing a weird issue. Occasionally, when the watch is in ambient mode, it is not responsive to touch. I turned off wrist gestures to wake up the device, and need to tap it to wake up. Sometimes I tap it and nothing happens at all, it stays in ambient mode. Pressing the power button at the back will wake up the device and it will function normally. It is just slightly annoying to have to press the power button which is on the back a few times a day.
