[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Helmetheadog:
I have a LG G3 with rooted stock rom running xposed.

So I pulled my phone out of my pocket today only to see the Verizon boot logo in effect. I was thinking "that's weird, guess my phone needed to reboot? Strange." But the only problem is it never stopped. It will only boot up to the lock screen and occasionally it will display an error message telling me the systemui has stopped. Then about 10 seconds later, it reboots itself. It continues this process until I pull the battery.

I've tried booting into safe mode, no luck. It doesn't even actually boot into safe mode (it doesn't say safe mode in the bottom left corner.)

I tried wiping the cache, no luck.

I don't want to just do a factory reset because that hasn't seemed to help anyone else with this issue as far as I've seen. I have not found any helpful information on how to fix this problem.

My question is, what do I do? I feel lost on this subject. Normally I've always been able to diagnose problems on my own, but not in this situation.

I have all my apps and data backed up to Titanium Backup on my SD card.

Any suggestions?

Hi all,

I updated my OPO to CM12 and the google play services can't be updated leading to the notorius battery drain plus several other issues.

It's all stock, less than 1 month old unit, what can I do?

The previous version, CM11 was great, the current YNG1TAS17L is creating only problems.

Please help.

Head into settings > apps > google play services > clear data.

After that head down to apkmirror.com and download Google Play Services and manually update the app.

This should fix the systemupdate service bug on the older version of Google Play Services

I have gone back to previous version.

Try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psvtQB7NizI. I have had to use it several times and still have the trouble. Best case is factory wipe and reload from Google app.

Thanks for your message!

I can't access google play app crashes and I can't upgrade the app via the google play webpage.

I downloaded the latest version of the google play services (it appears to be the same version I already have installed) but I can't clear the data of that app (there is no clear data button just clear cache).

In order to install the apk, all I have to do is select it with a file explorer app (provided I have set the option of allowing the install of non google play apps?

Thanks,

If Google Play FC, head into settings > apps > Google Play > click clear data and force close

To clear data of Google Play Services, head into settings > apps > Google Play Services > (I think is) manage storage and it'll bring you into Google Play Services app, scroll to the bottom and click clear data. After that, force stop and uninstall any updates you may have for the app.

To manually update/install an app, use a file manager and head into the directory where you downloaded the app and just click on it and package installer will do the job it needs to do

hi all,

**EDIT** 20/10/15

So I wiped my phone again - cache and system. Flashed "cm-12-20150901-SNAPSHOT-YNG4NAO253-bacon" and "gapps-lp-20141212-signed" annnnnd it all works!

I still don't understand the cause of any of my troubles and I haven't tried doing this with CM 12.1 because stagefright is still an issue?

I cannot get Google Play services to function properly on my OnePlus one- have tried Factory resets, installing from a backup, Stock, CWM and TWRP recoveries. installing from apk hosting sites. clearing cache and all data in settings>apps>google blah blah, hoping someone can help me.

- several months ago i flashed TWRP as my new recovery and then flashed SuperSU and I have enjoyed this set up ever since as I love using the app AllStream which requires root access.

- after putting off updating my phone since doing this, I finally decided to update the other day...

- I downloaded the CM12.1 .zip , moved it onto my phone, booted it into recovery and flashed the bastard (figured everything was going smoothly at this point).

- When my phone booted up I figured I would download the Google Play store from the built in browser, and then download all my apps through that, BUT when I logged into my google account the play store said all my apps were already installed???

I downloaded some apps from some apk hosting websites and installed them (allstream,facebook,snapchat and a couple others) they all worked fine.

When I downloaded Google Play services Version: 8.2.99 (8299240) for Android 5.0+ (Lollipop, API 21) from apkmirror.com it installed and then gave me the error "unfortunately google play services has stopped"

every 3 seconds or so.

I have tried flashing Stock, CWM, Philz and TWRP recoveries, doing a factory reset and then flashing the CM12.1.zip. get the error in all cases.

I have tried clearing cache and all app data in phone settings>apps>google PS>clear cache/delete data

I have not had Privacy Guard running ever (some forums have suggested this can cause issues).

**EDIT** 19/10/15

I've realized since posting that I have had Privacy Guard running (i had thought it was a separate app).

I have since experimented with different settings within Privacy guard such as turning the "wake up" and "keep awake" options on or off - no success

No idea what to do now, have I done something obvious? What else can I try? What other information should I provide to help diagnosis?
[HTC Desire S] mem5449:
Is it possible for a custom ROM to disable a radio?? I was under the impression (after much Google-ing) that a S-ON phone can NOT modify the radio via IMG file (or any other method).

I have been trying several ROMs on my Desire S and finally found one I really like. Problem is, I no longer get any radio signal (no bars, no service). My Desire is rooted/unlocked, running Cyanogen Mod 9, HBOOT 2.00.0002, S-ON, radio 3822.10.08.04_M, service provider is AT&T US.

Any thoughts HTC gurus? THANK you in advance for any helpful info :)

flash the boot.img via fastboot commands straight after u flash the rom. boot.img is in the rom zip. u must do that everytime u flash a rom coz ur s-on.
[HTC Desire S] mem5449:
P88IMG.zip is key, not boot.img.. correct?

I have always completed a boot.img flash after loading any new ROM (otherwise they don't work). I don't think that's the problem because the boot.img has nothing to do with the radio. As far as I know, the P88IMG.zip file is the one that (when flashed) determines the radio version AND it can NOT be flashed on a S-ON phone (like mine).

for some reason i had wifi in my head :what: yh the rom shouldnt do anything to the radio at all, try flashing a different rom (sense) see if the problem is still there then ul know if its hardware

[Moto X Q&A] 90turbovan:
XT1060 on Verizon; right now on one of the later CM nightlies but I know I tried several other ROMs in the past (probably all CM based) to no avail. MMS messages sometimes send/download immediately, most of the time they take at least 30 seconds to send and received ones fail download several times. This happens regardless of mobile data settings, WiFi, 3G, LTE, Hangouts, Messaging, etc. I've yet to correlate anything with the success or failure.

I've been digging through logs and the CM sources and the issue seems to stem from initiating the mobile data connection for MMS. At this point I'm deep in the telephony stack and well out of familiar territory. I'm hoping that someone can verify that they're seeing the same issues on Verizon with non-stock ROMs and also hoping that there's someone out there more familiar with the whole telephony stack that can perhaps guide my search in more productive direction. APN settings look correct and the logs confirm that once a data connection is made the right APN is used and messages get sent/received. I've found some "unrecognized command" type errors in RIL logs during the connection setup phase, but haven't sorted out what they are yet.
[Moto X Q&A] TheDiabolicaL1:
I can't be of any help to you with the programming stuff but I can say I have two DE cm12 exhibiting the same bugs.

I also get a soft reboot, where I lose 4g and I have a '!' next to the signal. I don't know if they're connected.

The MMS taking forever is annoying though. I've been considering going clean to a newer nightly than I'm on now and see if it's any better.
[Moto X Q&A] edthesped:
I had the same issue on a 1060 DE running Nexus Experience (CM based) and what worked for me was to disable the stock mms application and I believe MMSService. Then installed textsecure and all worked well. I can't remember 100% if I kept MMSService disabled or not as I'm back on stock Lollipop, but some combination of the above will definitely work.
[Moto X Q&A] 90turbovan:
TextSecure doesn't appear to use the same channels to send SMS/MMS as the stock app. As I understand, it's more of a mobile data thing than a true SMS/MMS app, which would explain why it worked for you. I'm 100% sure the issue does not lie in the stock CM MMS app, I've traced it well outside of there and the app appears to function just fine once it gets the notification that a MMS capable network is available.

I also sometimes run in to the service indicator giving a network that is strings of numbers like "00000" or "31000". I don't know if both of these are symptoms of the same problem or something completely different.

Apologies for the mis-categorization of the thread, thanks for moving it.
[Moto X Q&A] 90turbovan:
It would appear that APNs do affect this. CM's apns-conf has a "Verizon" "internet" APN that's listed for MMS. Not sure what it's there for and the stock 5.1 apns-conf does not have it. Logs showed RILJ messages of SETUP_DATA_CALL attempting to access this "internet" APN instead of the "VZWAPP" APN that stock would try for. Running the stock 5.1 apns-conf and then also manually removing the "Verizon" APN in settings has allowed first connection MMS messages to download and send fine i.e. ones that result in a SETUP_DATA_CALL RILJ message. It appears that if the MMS connection is already open, however, that it fails until timeout on a RILJ message of RIL_REQUEST_ALLOW_DATA. After 5 retries, we get another SETUP_DATA_CALL message and everything works fine. I am currently running a build of CM with Motorola's 5.1 proprietary binaries though, I'll have to verify that the older ones shipped with CM do not function differently.
[Moto X Q&A] TeslaZap:
This may be related and not a device-specific issue but either a google play services or back-end issue. Reported here because of the mention of these appearing to be data services, not text services having issues.

VZW 1060 DE unlocked but not rooted and took the OTA to 5.1. Did not feel like I experienced any of these issues prior to the update

Now, in addition to tethering problems, having hangouts issues similar to the OP description... messages sometimes take forever to show that they sent, or to come in. I sent a photo 3 times and some text but never could tell from hangouts that I had sent them or got a reply until after I rebooted the phone.

Asus Zenpad: Same issue for hangouts, some hangouts NEVER get some messages - this is a wifi only device. On lollipop

friend's new iPhone: Same issue as OP for hangouts

friend's Droid Turbo: Same issue as OP for hangouts. Reports she leaves the hangout and comes back in to see updates

[Moto X Q&A] 90turbovan:
This is 100% a RIL issue with this phone's chipset and vendor binaries. It may carry over to other hardware but it is certainly not a Google issue.

It appears that the libril binaries supplied with Moto's 4.4.4/5.1 do not support RIL_REQUEST_ALLOW_DATA. It looks like they support an older method, perhaps involving RIL_REQUEST_SET_DATA_SUBSCRIPTION.
[Moto X Q&A] jco23:
FYI, i recently fastbooted back to stock 5.1, and MMS working quickly for me.
[Moto X Q&A] 90turbovan:
I'm able to get fully functioning normal MMS on CM 12.1 by hacking the DdsScheduler a bit. If I force it to transition to Idle after MMS releases its networkrequest, everything works fine. I'm confident this is a hacky way of doing it, but it at least narrows the issue down further.

As a side note, the whole DdsScheduler portion was added to telephony in 12. CM 11 appears to work fine, as do all stock versions, of course. As far as I can tell, this bug should affect Galaxy S3 users (probably among others?) as well. Can anyone weigh in on that? I don't have access to one with CM for testing. Anything running a Qualcomm RIL with a version less than 10 should be affected?

Before you get all worried about giving me your imei, my device already has an imei on it and i am able to view it. The only problem that having a corrupt efs folder is that I can't connect to most wifi networks properly.

If anyone is willing to give me the efs back up that will be fantastic because I have been trying to attack this problem since feburary.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SomeQuestions:
Hello,

I bought a Z Ultra 2 days ago. After I activated it I have been prompted with 2 notifications: 1 that was asking me to update to the latest android and one that was asking me to update for the latest Xperia software update. First, I did the update for Android. Second, I did the update for Xperia software. My first question is: I did good by updating both - or I should've updated only the Android and not also the Xperia software? One of them changed the looks of my homescreen, the size of icons and not only, but I am not sure which one.

I am thinking of making a reset to factory settings and to do only the Android update and forget about the Xperia update. Would it be ok to do that? Which one changed the looks of my phone?

Thank you.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AndyYan:
You have already done both, so they will stay there even if you do a factory reset. You'll only be able to revert by reflashing stock firmware.

Don't worry, updates are usually a good thing, especially on the Z Ultra.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Klaos3000:
I'm guessing you're talking about the bigger launcher icons. That's how Sony has made them now, and yes, they're bigger than before. I wouldn't downgrade an operating system just to have smaller icons on the homescreen. You can:

A. Use the older KitKat version of the launcher.

B. Use a different launcher altogether (recommend Nova and Action Launcher)

C. Change the DPI (Dots-Per-Inch), making everything denser (i.e everything will be smaller) - Root required.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] rsumukh:
with the new 5.1.1 update, you can resize the home-screen icons.

You have a choice between Small and Large. You can access this through the home settings.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SomeQuestions:
Really? I thought that if I will reset to factory I will get what I had when I took the phone out of the box. Is this the usual way for all phones or is it only on Z Ultra? So it means that it is useless to reset it, because I will still have my updates?

Also, I should have done only one of the updates (latest Android update / latest Xperia Software update) or it is ok if I did both? On other words, the normal thing to do is to have both updates done, right? I ask because Xperia Software update was reconfigurating some android things so I started wondering if it good what I did - but still, the phone kept on asking me to make the Xperia update.

Second question: I did installed Buzz Launcher and I changed some themes on my Z Ultra. I decided to not use it, I deleted all data from apps for Buzz Launcher and Buzz Homepack and after that I uninstalled them. I have a feeling that my phone works slower after I had Buzz on it - is it possible? When I deleted all data from the app uninstaller in the settings and also uninstalled them, did I erase everything from this app? Should I do a factory reset?

Thank you in advance.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Klaos3000:
1. No, that's how it is on every single OS in the world. If you had reset Windows 10 on an old machine, it wouldn't magically revert back to Windows Vista or something. An OS update replaces the current OS with the newer one. If you want to get back to the older version, you'll have to do it yourself by manually flashing a firmware. It would be ridiculous to do that for some smaller homescreen icons though.

2. Yes, it's fine.

3. The app is uninstalled and gone, but there might still be a folder left on the internal storage, so install a file explorer, like Solid Explorer or something and see if there's a Buzz folder somewhere. If yes, just delete it.

I don't know how to install it, all I see after downloading and upzipping is "MTK_Qualcomm_ADB" folder, inside are "install.vbs" file, "uninstall.vbs" file, Qualcomm and MTK folders. I I tried to click on "install.vbs" file, nothing happend, so I tried to install through Windows Device Manager, using the ".inf" file in the Qualcomm folder, but failed. I've just bought my phone for 1 week and I am new to Android, so don't curse me...

P/S: I read this instruction on reddit and got stuck in step 3.

1. Plug device into computer, wait for "normal" MTP drivers to install. You'll probably get an error about the ADB interface driver failing.

2. Open the notifications dropdown and select "Connected as a media device" (was the default for mine).

3. Select "Drivers CD-ROM" from the USB Computer Connection list.

4. Open My Computer and open new "USB Driver" drive (was E on my machine).

5. Double-click Setup.vbs, then click Install on the "Android USB Driver Manager" screen. (Click Uninstall to uninstall the driver)

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alekrad:
Hi all,

Just rooted my device for the first time today using TWRP and flashing SuperSU. I was hoping it was going to give me the ability to upgrade my device to a stock android version of Lollipop. As I'm looking around it seems like that is not supported by the community. I have used the search bar and haven't come up with much, except a few old threads when Lollipop was just released.

I found this thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2755532 that suggests nobody has modded it past it's final android update 4.2.2. The only difference it seems is it gets rid of some of the uninstallable Samsung and Google apps.

I just wanted to confirm that there is no development going on past 4.2.2 for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite (SM-T110) before I flash a new ROM from the list.

Thanks.

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fusion_master:
Dear XDA fellows,

This is a copy of my opening post from the Oneplus forums. It got lost amongst the million: "yaay, i got an invite", "look, my OPT is amazing!" threads.

This is a problem I encountered when trying to flash the Oxygen 2.1 through TWRP (well, 2.0.2 full zip + the smaller 2.1 OTA). I believe this is a 2.8.7.0 recompile by ydss.cn (googling maybe a chinese coder)

The phone is encrypted.

Restarting into TWRP recovery (sadly cannot paste external link android hostfile fid=24052804347797409) you're prompted to enter the decryption password (similar to when I'd boot the phone). Regardless of the user input, The following error message is recieved: E: unable to mount storage

I am able to access the phone if I reboot to the system normally.

This is eerily similar to the bug encountered with OPO and TWRP 2.8.6.0 which Dees-Troy kindly crushed and I wonder if this is the same Qualcomm hardware encryption problem just roaring its head again in OPT.

But if this a straight 2.8.7.0 recompile shouldn't this be resolved?

If this is also similar to the aforementioned OPO problem, I think one should still be able to flash OTAs either through ADB sideload or USB OTG (but I haven't tried either yet).

Anyone has similar problems?

As the compile is not offical I hesitate to post this in Github or email team win directly. :( (I'd love to pretend I can compile TWRP for oneplus2, but the chances of that are as slim as recieving an OPT invite :D )
