HELP!

My phone got stuck at MI logo after i tried to update it to the latest update.

I tried my luck, with wiping cache and cleared the data.

PS: I did root my phone before Updating Mi 4i!

Reflash your Rom via fastboot
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] m4gg0t:
You tried to update your phone with root, there's your problem. You need to refresh your room with fastboot.
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] derrick28:
The Mi PC suite will download ROM automatically if i connect my phone in fast-boot right?
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] cop3rth:
or u could just download fastboot rom just in case :)

Cheers~
[Xiaomi Mi 4i] Evil Tak:
Always remember, flash the TWRP recovery also for the Mi4i. Just in case something goes wrong like this. Whenever you root your MIUI phone,

NEVER

update using the OTA. Download the update package from the site and flash manually.

Everyone in the office just got new phones, most people chose D810 - Trinity. From the rate of broken styluses so far it seems we're going to need to order some soon. What's the best? Overall quality is more important than having a ballpoint. Search didn't turn up any obvious favorites. Links to sellers very much appreciated.

(Do NOT twist your original stylus. I wish I could say they snap like twigs but your average twig is considerably stronger!)

How the .... can you break them? they are really robust.
[P3600 Accessories] ruigato:
i need a white replacement also, i would like a original one if possible.

I lost one, and i want a spare stylus just in case.

could someone give some help on this, i just seem to find black one (and besides the color i dont know if they fit well..)

thanks
[P3600 Accessories] aeberbach:
Twist... as if you are trying to unscrew the top of the stylus. Not hard to do unintentionally if you are getting it out one handed.
[P3600 Accessories] pws:
I have these ones that have a ball point pen built in as well. They seem solid (they actually feel more solid that the original), the tip is not overly hard and it means you have a pen handy as well for the times you need on.

When I bought them they took about 4 days to get to me in Sydney.

We brought around 12 unit of Dopod D810, 11 unit black color and 1 white color.

Almost all black color D810 user broke their stylus.

Local Dopod service center allowed the stylus to be exchange within the warrenty period, but I believed Dopod won't re-engineer and redesign their stylus and will give us the same 'hightech' same quality stylus as replacement.

A simple drop from anywhere 1 feet above ground will break the stylus into two ..Arh! Is so frustrating .. Goash!

I have an issue in my android application, application crashes from the main activity and the error message is

this happens not on the all devices and not always, as i can reproduce the error occurs frequently on nexus 5 android version 5.1.1, and also on samsung android version 5.1.1 the error exists.

I have researched a lot but no solution. It seems it was an android 4.0.* version issue but was fixed in latest android versions.

Can anyone help to find the problem?

You need root, install es file explorer, enable root mode, mount /system rw from ES, then edit that file with ES file editor, and reboot. Then if you don't need root anymore, you can mount /system back ro, disable root mode, and do full unroot from supersu settings. I have no idea if the same works on other devices, but you can try.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lupin III.:
The short version: I have kernel wakelocks bluesleep and msm_serial_hs_dma, which keep my phone from going to deep sleep until I kill and disable the bluetooth-adapter-service.

This is what I tried till now:

I updated my Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505) from Android 4.4.2 (I9505XXUGNG8_I9505ATOGNF1_I9505XXUGNG8 ROM, Austria unbranded, phone was originally "3 Hutchison" branded) to 5.0.1 (I9505XXUHOE3), that was downloaded automatically via OTA. I rooted the phone with philz-touch (had rooted 4.4.2 also). I noticed a very heavy battery drain, but only after I had already "cleaned" some of the bloatware. Battery life was less than 10 hours, while it held out almost 2 days with my usage pattern on 4.4.2. So I did a factory reset, which didn't help. I started disabling services, including system services until the point where WIFI and bluetooth wouldn't work anymore at all (even enabling the services again didn't help). But at least I noticed that the battery drain was gone and it seemed to be one of the bluetooth system services.

Since I had to reinstall anyway, I used the I9505XXUHOF2_I9505OXAHOF2_I9505XXUHOF2 ROM (Germany unbranded, I couldn't find an Austrian UHOE3 or UHOF2 to download). Also did a factory reset of course. The battery drain was there again. This was even before rooting the phone, which I then did again to have more options to find the culprit (but I did not uninstall anything that came with stock). BBS showed me the bluesleep and msm_serial_hs_dma wakelocks. The wakelocks stayed no matter if bluetooth was enabled or not. I even flashed the modem on its own (although my phone info showed the right UHOF2 baseband before already), because this sometimes seemed to help people. Didn't change anything either.

In the end I narrowed it down to a single thing I have to do after installing stock (and rooting): disable the Bluetooth-> AdapterService (com.android.bluetooth.btservice.AdapterService) with the "Disable Service" app. The wakelocks are gone and I get almost two days of battery life (a little bit worse than on 4.4 though). Of course bluetooth will now not work at all until I reenable the service and reboot (and remember to disable and reboot as to not have my phone dead in a few hours).

I don't use bluetooth on a daily basis, but killing a system service can't be the solution. Why are the wakelocks there in the first place, even when I never had bluetooth active after a reboot? Are there different hardware revisions and you can't flash all you want? Since most people seem not to have a problem like this on a stock ROM after a factory reset, the only difference can be the hardware, or not?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erroneous91:
Hi,

bumping your thread and a question for ya, is 5.0.1 that bad? I'm still on 4.4.2 stock and I did notice a OTA update notification, but I didn't accept it yet.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lupin III.:
If the thing bluetooth wouldn't happen (which it obviously does not for everyone or the outcry would be much bigger), there's nothing wrong with it. After I killed bluetooth completely battery life is only slightly reduced compared to 4.4. I liked the dark look of 4.4 more though. Now everything has a bright background. But that's personal preference.
[MX Player] Paddy Landau:
When I lock the screen ("Lock mode"), it blacks out the top part of the screen. This happens for all video types that I have tested.

I am using MX Player Pro on Nexus 5 (stock, unrooted).

I have tested with both "MX Player Codec (ARMv7 NEON)" (from Play Store) and "Arm v7-Neon" (from the sticky on DTS and AC3).

I don't know how to attach screenshots on this forum, so I've put links to them on my Dropbox:

Playing normally, you can see the full video and the time at the top-left corner of the screen.

With locked screen, the top part of the screen (75 pixels) is blacked out; the time is hidden along with the top of the video.

What can I do to fix this, please?
[MX Player] bleu8888:
I've tried to reproduce this issue on my Nexus 5 and 6 but can't.

Would you try other locking modes? Lock mode can be selected on Settings > Player > Screen lock.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darth_tater:
I started experimenting with my old P3113 last night and ran into a bit of a problem. I successfully rooted using Odin 3.09, verified with root checker. I also successfully flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0 via Odin. All root and TWRP install/flashes were successful via Odin.

Following these instructions: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-2/7-inch-development/rom-dhollmen-lollipop-5-0-2-2015-02-02-t3020849

I downloaded the Dhollmen-P31xx-Kernel_20150215.zip and saved to the Download folder on the tab. From TWRP I ran a wipe and installed the .zip. I reboot the device and I am returned to TWRP recovery. TWRP tells me that the installation was successful however the log says "no MD5 file found". Does this have anything to do with why my device isn't booting properly? I've rooted other devices and flashed ROM's before but I don't understand what I missed on this one. Do I just need to try a different ROM? For reference I am still able to access download menu.

Any help would be appreciated!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoneWithABeagle:
Well, the "no MD5 file found" just means TWRP cannot verify the MD5 hash of the ZIP file - that's actually a security meassure to ensure the ZIP file didn't get damaged during download or transfer onto the tab.

Now ... once you flashed TWRP (which you obviously already successfully did) and flashed the Kernel (which you obviously also already successfully did) it would be about time to flash the actual Dhollmen ROM that goes along with the Kernel ... I doubt the Kernel will boot up your vanilla Samsung stock ROM.

In short (haven't read the ROM thread nor did I ever use Dhollmen, so check back to make sure it's about right): Download the ROM, download the GApps package for the ROM and download the Superuser package (if not already included in the ROM) of your choice. Put the files onto either a FAT32 formatted SD card (if you can't put them into the NAND "SD card" partition at the moment) or onto a FAT32 formatted USB stick (given you have a USB-OTG cable), plug it in (if you use a USB stick make sure your tablet is CHARGED!), boot into recovery and flash the files in one go ... ROM, Gapps, SU.

Run a wipe (Data and Cache) when everything is flashed to nuke any left-overs from the Stock ROM and reboot to system.

Keep in mind the first boot can take quite some time ... don't panic if the boot animation "just sits there" for 5<->15 minutes.

Easiest way would be to actually use a ROM that doesn't require a extra Kernel ... like Android-Andi's CyanogenMod 12.1 or Omni ROM 5.1 (use the 3110 versions for your 3113).

[G4 General] Usraek:
My battery life is terrible. After upgrading from an S3 and watching my partner's M8 and Z3 be ****ing battery tanks this is very disappointing. ~2-3 hours SOT is comparable to the S3 I came from, and meanwhile the Z3 is at 70% battery with 3 hours SOT *with* everything turned on and not debloated. Though admittedly, this phone is wonderful in every other way so it's hard to stay mad.... Just the occasional sad stab of battery anxiety/jealousy every once and a bit. I've only had the phone a week though, so that feeling should hopefully fade.

#firstwoldproblems
[G4 General] dumb4ever:
I'm not sure if you did factory reset after when you first bought the phone, but it def helps in my case. ( I did 2 or 3 time factory, don't do the setup yet, just keep doing factory reset once the phone boot-up). I get from 2 hour SOT, to about 4-5 hour SOT with 5% left at the end of my day with the same setup as when i first setup.

PS: don't do restore apps, just do clean install all your apps and settings.

[G4 General] la2o:
Wow quite interesting
[G4 General] Usraek:
I Yeah, I did two factory resets when I got it because I accidentally auto-synced my Google crap, so it's all fresh.

This was just a small frustrated vent. This is my only upgrade since my S3 and it wasn't really by choice as I had to change carriers but this phone is the best option currently available (the other one on my list being the S5, cuz battery and sd card). Meanwhile my partner has hopped from a Note 2 to a HTC M8 to now a Sony Z3, and I watched the amazing all day do-whatever-the-****-you-want battery life and figured that more flagships would be like that... Instead there's this disappointing as hell battery life that isn't much better than what I had and I still need to watch what I do so I'm constrained in the same way lest it craps out midday.

So while this phone is amazing as hell, with many great features, it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. I could return it and get an S5 but what a downgrade. Not really any other options with removable storage and battery. At least I can hope root with help improve some battery life, and it will certainly fix the ****ty DPI. Also hoping for a slim Zerolemon battery with higher capacity to come eventually.

---------- Post added at 06:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------

Yeah, I'm aware, and pretty terrible looking ones at that IMO. This LG screen is gorgeous and one of the few that don't look like complete ass next to an AMOLED. Shame about the DPI though, but that will come!

On a side note, I fell into a laptop with a 3k screen a couple weeks ago, and I'm really enjoying high-resolution information dense crisp screens. :D
[G4 General] One Twelve:
I don't get this DPI thing. You want to reduce the DPI so it looks better :confused:
[G4 General] Usraek:
Well we've got this glorious beautiful hi-res screen but the Gmail app can fit 6 lines, whereas on my S3 (with tweaked DPI) on the 720p screen I could have 10 lines and it was amazing. Not to mention I have smaller hands so I can adjust the DPI on my keyboard to have it take less screen space, making it easier to use with one hand, while at the same time being able to view more if my browser or texts or whatever. It's quite wonderful to be able to choose per-app DPI for different usage.
[G4 General] One Twelve:
Lowering DPI which is what was being recommended in that DPi thread, gives you more text to view ?

The thing i dont understand is increasing resolution raises DPI. So lowering DPI reduces resolution. Things become bigger when you lower resolution. You can fit less within the screen in that case.

You can't raise the DPI because its already at its max. So other than reducing font size i don't understand how 'tweaking' DPi fits more in the window.
[G4 General] Usraek:
You're conflating DPI with resolution. The resolution is the overall amount of pixels the screen displays, like a canvas, and when you set it lower everything looks bigger but you have less room to fit things overall as icon sizes and text haven't changed. Setting your screen to anything but native resolution in most cases also makes things look worse off, depending on how well your screen scales and how low you go, it gets blurrier and blurrier.

Having a high resolution is like have a massive canvas to work with, you can fit many many things sized smaller on there. Now it can make everything appear too small, so that's where DPI scaling comes in. You need higher resolution icon and things programmed to scale otherwise when you zoom them they get blurry (like a 480p video on a 1080p screen). You can zoom too much though, leaving all that extra lovely canvas space you're screen is capable of filled up. That's what LG did, or you can zoom them out and the higher resolution you have the more you can zoom things out and have them still legible. LG zoomed everything in way too much wasting a lot of potential screen real estate. Sure it's crisp and nice, but I may as well have a 1080p phone. I want to zoom it out, while keeping the resolution, so it all stays crisp.

Sorry if that's a bit messy, I'm thinking of Windows desktop icons as I type this. Haha

---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 PM ----------

Android apps are set to scale to whatever the manufacturer deems correct, so we have these giant FisherPrice apps with massive buttons and icons taking up half the screen. Browsing the web though is beautiful so far on here though.

(There's also ppi/dpi like when Apple talks their Retina crap, but that's how many physical pixels your screen has crammed into what sized space. We're talking software DPI)

(And the DPI in the other thread is global scaling of everything smaller and has it's share of problems. Per-app DPI using Xposed is where it's at as you can have each setting independent in case problems like crashing arise, or you just don't need something smaller)
[G4 General] Mr.Miyagi555:
OP, are you sure you don't have auto brightness on and set to 100%? Either way you have amazing battery life. 3.5 to 4hr sot is usually the norm for me without gaming. Usual calls, web, txt, email, tapatalk, some youtube
