[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawika007:
I rooted and flashed cyanogen mod on my tablet, when i was updating it during the install it failed and now it will not load.

When the tablet loads I go through the ASUS screen and then am stuck on teamwin screen. When i try to wipe all data it gives me multiple red errors, unable to do many things. I cannot see the tablet through windows and my SD card slot stopped working, i have tried multiple micro sd cards and it still will not recognize then. (I will take a photo of the errors once the battery is charged, it is completely drained again)

I am not very tech savy but am wanting to recover this tablet for work and cannot afford to replace it at the moment but would appreciate any help I can get specific to my problem.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSebra:
Hi all,

I have a ZTE S2004 from China that does not have the usual pre-installed Google apps. I had e-mailed the manufacturer (both the North American and Chinese customer service) and was notified that because the phone is from China, it does not support Google services.

I recently found out about and downloaded KingRoot v4.5 and Root Explorer v3.3.5 to try and install Google APKs as described in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1874285. I installed the APKs , then changed the permissions to align with the other APK files, restarted the phone and then tried to install the apps via the APKS. They all said installation successful, but the apps crash and do not work, with the error message reading "Unforunately [program] has stopped".

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Most likely because that thread is 3 years old. The apps are very outdated. Would try the same steps with the updated version of the Google apps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSebra:
Sorry I forgot to mention that the phone is using Android version 4.4.4 and I read that some of the APKs only supported 5.0+. I am unsure how to proceed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Should just need the Play Store and Google Services Framework installed to get started. With 4.4, they should be placed into /system/priv-app with the correct permissions. 0644 I believe. Once placed there, permissions set, and rebooted, you should be able to access the store and download the rest of the stuff you need. I'd just grab them from a 4.4 Gapps package. They will be slightly outdated, but should be easily updatable.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSebra:
I have encountered a problem with the Play Store installation. I had downloaded a newer version of Google Play Store and have tried to uninstall it, but it still remains and I fear it is blocking the 4.4.4 version. I cannot remove it by using the default removal option or even root explorer. I attempted to reset the phone but that has not worked either.

The installation for Google Services Framework was successful, but when I tried to use the Google Play Store, it would open and subsequently close immediately, no error message showing and the process itself still running.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
So you've deleted it with Root Explorer and it came back after reboot or there was an error when trying to remove it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akky26:
I'm not sure but you can try this.

Root your phone,get a new custom rom.

use a vpn service app to access internet on your device. i think that will do the work.

Note: select VPN provider of somewhere outside china

here is a download link of a VPN app CLICK DOWNLOAD

Try this and let me know :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSebra:
There was no error when trying to remove it, but it still appears on the phone after the reboot.

I am unsure which custom ROMs are available, as I have been unable to find any for my phone model, S2004. The most common ones I've seen are the ZTE Blade and ZTE Warp.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akky26:
Then you can do one thing, download firmware of your device but of some other country. It may work for you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSebra:
There is no other firmware available, my phone is currently only available in China.

Hello, I have a Samsung Tab3. Once I saw "Software Update Available". Then I agreed to download. After download [~55MB] I clicked "Install". Then it wants to reboot. Then I pressed "Okay". It was turned off and when it turned on, then a text appeared with a black screen. It was in red font [mv] CableType=0. I was watching movie on laptop. Then I connected my tab with my laptop through USB Data cable. Then its changed "0" to "1". Then I used to hold the power button until it turned off and nothing else. Then I did it again to turn on. But there was nothing else without a glowing black screen. No logo, no sound, no text or else. I tried to did reset for go to recovery mode by holding power and volume buttons.

Have you tried the Emergency Firmware Recovery tool in Samsung Kies? You can get Kies from the Samsung website. Plug your tablet in and go to Tools > Emergency firmware recovery and it should have your device listed. Or you could try the Firmware upgrade through Kies. I haven't had to use the emergency mode yet so I don't know how it works from there.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gigabte284:
I recently upgraded from a Moto G 2nd Gen to a 3rd gen, I was pretty surprised to find out it doesn't have a guest mode/multiple users feature, which is arguably Lollipop's best feature.

My question is, is there any way at all to add this? A custom ROM, a mod, something, anything really.

Thanks!
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardikjakharia:
You might be able to do it with Xposed, but will need root, else wait for Marshmallow update

Also there is screen pinning option available to just let users use a single app
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Several manufacturers remove this functionality, Samsung has for a while, HTC removed it initially from the M9 then added it back, and apparently Motorola is as well (notably the Droid Turbo did not have it either), not sure why, probably because Guest mode is so insecure by default it is more of a security risk than a benefit when used for it's intended purpose of handing the phone over to someone to use.

A custom ROM would be your best bet, I know it is build in to CM and most other AOSP ROMs.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gigabte284:
Sorry for the noob question, but I'm assuming by CM you mean Cyanogen Mod? And if that's the case, would you mind linking me to a tutorial to add it to my phone, I really do want the entire guest/multiple users features, and if CM can do it I'm down.
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
Yes, CyanogenMod ROM, although if it was me I would look into BlissPop, Resurrection Remix, or CrDroid before CM.

Just look in the Original Development section... You must unlock (voiding warranty), flash TWRP, and flash CM (or other ROM) and Gapps.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chong67:
I have a Note 4 with Kit Kat 4.4.4

I am able to pair the Polar H7 heart sensor.

But it does not work on my Runtastic app.

Did anyone get it to work?

What other heart sensor will work on the Note 4?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willcor:
hi,

i presume that you're talking about the Polar H7 Bluetooth chest (strap) H/Rate sensor..?

If so, I have used it on my Note3 and also Note4 with my Gear 1 watch. I have the Runtastic pro app and also struggled to connect... manage to get it only once or twice connected.

I have then used another app BLE Hart rate (in app) Endomond, Polor beat fitness coach etc... they all work on my Note4, but its a hit and miss.. Then it works today, then next day it does not want to connect. Very annoying and frustrating...!

Also the chest sensor battery is quite heavy Regular use( about +- 1 month use) , then battery is flat, compared to the standard chest sensor battery life.. (i easy get about +- 3 mths use.)

So eventually i got fed up and now use the standard chest sensor. (I use my hart rate sensor x 4 times a week.. every week)

Yes the Polar H7 Bluetooth does work with certain H/ rate apps but for me its a hit and miss and not worth struggling to connect when you want to go for a run Just stick to the standard chest sensor..!

good luck
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chong67:
Thanks for your reply.

Why is it a hit and miss? I cant even get it to connect to my Runtastic app. It does PAIR with no problem. I might have to return the Polar H7 chest strap sensor.

What is the standard chest sensor?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willcor:
hi ,

well thats how i label it ,one moment it will connect and work fine on a run ( with any of the above apps i mentioned, in my previous post ) and then next day ,it does not connect via bluetooth (.Yes ,i also had it paired ,) I suspect 'maybe ' its got something to do with the workings of bluetooth v 4.0 and bluetooth 4.1 compatibilty ???.I can remember when i use my Note3 with Polar sensor( my Note3 was still on bluetooth v4.0) and if i wanted to pair it or scan to connect ,it did not even show in my device /phone settings or listed .When Note3 via a later software update (got bluetooth v4.1) it showed ( to me it was"strange" that it did not show in my listed pair devices on v4.0 etc etc )

I suspect the whole problem is that it is not " fully /compatible " with our phone v 4.1 bluetooth ...even i think Polar claimed it to be v4.1 ??? ...not to sure.

I have not used bluetooth sensor H7 ,for quite some time due to this hassle !

I have also noted that Samsung has Ant+ technology ( ANT Hal service and Ant Radio service and Ant plugin installed on our phones ....eg Note3 and Note4 ..etc ).You can check you phone under "Application manager " in phone "Settings "it will be listed there, as installed .

I still want to rather buy a Ant+ chest strap and sensor and test it .i am sure it will work 100% better ..???( i noticed that these sensors is similar/basic same , in price than Polar ) Ant + is basic from what i understand an older technology, but very good .A fact to consider is why does Samsung " endorses/installsl it, on our devices /phone ? .....as it works "better" than bluetooth in this case ?

Standard sensor i meant ,the Polar watch and chest strap combo ( i have been using for years and for me the better option . ) I would suggest you look for Ant + technology chest strap ,and plse note

Runtastic and other apps ,i mentioned is not compatible/work with those Ant+ ( not sure )

You must look for an app that will work with it ??

Good luck( which ever way you go Ant+ or standard .)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4rkkn16ht:
I have Garmin HRM Chest Strap & Garmin Vivofit 2.

I both sync perfectly on my Note 4 N910H.

Garmin HRM chest strap is an ANT+ device, it's working perfectly using S-Health & Garmin Connect (through Vivofit 2).

Garmin Vivofit 2 is sync using Bluetooth 4.0

I never tried syncing using other Apps though.

ANT+ based HRM is better in battery life (I get almost 1 year of battery life before I have to change it's battery) & more mature in development way.

Bluetooth 4.X based HRM is in its infancy in development way.

So if you want something reliable for monitoring your heart rate better choose ANT+ based device....at least for now...especially Note 4 has a builtin ANT+ sensor.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willcor:
hi,

yes, if i think way back ( a year or two ) i could not decided if i must buy the Garmin (Ant+) or the Polar (Bluetooth) I was holding both in my hands and was unsure... As bluetooth, was the in thing that time... i choose the Polar Bluetooth... bad choice !

I intended after my failed Polar bluetooth experience.. to get the Garmin (Ant +) cheststrap, never got round to it. Just carried on using Polar watch and standard combo .

S HEALTH, (from my experience) is not the answer for me . It's ok for basic hart rate and storing your data etc but i used it with my Note 3 and Note 4 + Gear 1 watch eg... pedometer , not really impressed.

I would also agree that using Ant + is the better option

good luck
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4rkkn16ht:
Actually I almost never use S-Health.

I only try it several times just to compare the result with my Vivofit (via Garmin Connect).

After that I never use it at all.

And now after I upgrade my tracker to Vivofit 2, it seems there's no reason to open S-Health other than Water counter :p
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chong67:
How does Runstastic and any other app know how much calories I burn? It guesstimate base on your height n weight and how fast you going? Does it matter? I just want to get a heart sensor thing because of this accuracy.

Runstastic does support Ant+ Whats the most popular Ant+ sensor? I want to strap to my chest unless there is a other choice.

I thought there are progress being made on BT.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4rkkn16ht:
There are several factor to calculate calories outtake:

Age

Height

Weight

Heart rate

Steps

The result is a rough estimate that can be used to guide your day.

Heart rate data make it more accurate but still not laboratory accurate.

My suggestion for ANT+ HRM is Garmin & Wahoo.

Garmin is the most popular + reliable ANT+ HRM I know & it quite affordable too.

Wahoo is relatively new compared to Garmin but it supports both ANT+ & Bluetooth 4.0.

Other cheaper unbranded HRMs are available on eBay but I wouldn't recommend them as mine (yes, I bought one for around $25 to try it) broke after around 7 months.

Links:

Garmin HRM $60

Battery lasts around 3 years with 1 hr/day usage estimate.

Garmin Premium Soft strap HRM $69

Battery lasts around 4.5 years with 1 hr/day usage estimate.

Wahoo Tickr $59.99

Battery lasts up to 1 year.

Hello everyone, I have a G4 T-mobile MDA and have been trying to flash a new rom to it for some time now and nothing seems to work. Every RUU I try either doesnt do anything at all or stops at 99% and then it is bricked and I have to reflash the base rom provided by T-Mobile. All the links I have found for shelltool don't work so I can't download it and I think it is the only way I will be able to flash my MDA.

If you have shelltool, please either PM me with a download or post a download here.

All help will be greatly appreciated.

A Slim based rom that's as smooth as an ice cold beer.​

Thanks go out to:

Martinusbe - for putting together such an awesome rom

livinginkaos - for your generosity

A word from Martinusbe, the author:

*Welcome to Tipsy* This is something i started in my 'free' time when waiting for GZR Validus or Tesla builds and having some drinks. I just started with a slim base, and added what i thought useful. It grew up to be a fully functional rom, and some people got interested, so i decided to share.. The main goal is to keep it Slim based, i will not add any cm unless Slim does. Since we are now part of the GZR family, maintainers & device support will be the same, any device not in the list, just ask....

First of all hello everyone..! :)

this might seem like a noob questions, but the issue I am facing are real..

I installed the latest update of cm 12.1 yesterday "cm-12.1-20150911-UNOFFICIAL-ms013g-ver_AIO"..

I had been using "cm-12.1-20150614-UNOFFICIAL-ms013g-ver4_2" till yesterday

and overall, all the improvements in the latest ROM are fantastic..

ISSUE: right from my first boot, every time I get a call, and end it, it just doesn't hang up and the phone just shows the error: com.android.phone has stopped, and right after I click okay another error pops up: Dialer has stopped working

and then I neither can hang up the current call, nor I can make/take another call, the contact name of the first caller also gets stuck on the screen...until I restart the phone..and then it happens all over again..!

i.e.: A called me first, hanged up and the error appeared, now even if B calls me, the screen shows A calling, and I can't answer or reject the call..!

Can anyone please tell me how to get past that?

I was wondering if it would be possible to install linux (ubuntu) on the Nexus Player? I feel like this would be the perfect device for this.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lefigue:
No. Seriously. This is worthwhile. Small footprint, capable hardware. No significant hurdle.(?)How? Tutorial! Please!
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parkerlreed:
Agreed. The only thing I can see possibly being a problem is getting 3D acceleration working because of the PowerVR GPU. Everything else on this device seems well suited for Linux. Would just need a boot image akin to Ubuntu Touch on the old Nexus 7. Sadly I haven't seen anything that would help get this started on the Player, and I currently don't have the experience to start it myself. :(
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackel:
Uh, it's already running Linux. It sounds like you just want to run a different Linux distribution than Android. Shouldn't be difficult. You can run debootstrap on a clean system partition from recovery. You'll need to modify the boot image to run your distribution's init instead of trying to boot android. I would just look at the Ubuntu phone images for an idea of how they do it.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parkerlreed:
It's usually not that simple. The boot partition from the examples I've seen (Ran Ubuntu desktop on my Nexus 7 2012) has to contain the kernel for the regular Linux install. I haven't looked into how big the partition is on the Player, but I know I had issues getting a mainline kernel to fit on the 8MB of the N7 2012. Plus most of the people here (including myself) wouldn't know where to even start at trying to get this to work for the Player (Hence why we ask in a community that has the expertise to possible pull it off). Specs wise the Player could be a fairly nice cheap NUC (If the PowerVR has support, that would be even better)
