Hello!

i currently own an iphone 6 και and am looking to swap it for an android device-sick of ios(i previously owned 4s,5,6).

The android i am looking for must meet the below criteria with order of importance :

-good battery life

-good display

-good camera

-fast

-θpreferably with on screen buttons

-good sound quality with headphones

-somewhat decent support (not the htc type-oh here is 1 update, thats it )

phones i loved so far but cannot decide on them are :

-note 4(since note 5 wont be coming to eu), but it is already over 1 year old, so its updaes should stop after android 6.0

-nexus 6...man oh man i really really love that one but as it turns out, it bends with almost non existent effort ( youtube is filled with videos crushing it bare handed like its a candy bar)

-lg g4 very nice and fluid experience , good camera but the battery life is truly-hard to believe-kind of bad :(

Please help me escape the walled garden of apple, and guide me..devices nowadays are very expensive to just go see-n-choose..also exchanging devices from seller is a no-go where i live (say e.g. i return a lg g4 because it doesnt work for me).

Thanks, you guys!

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coollkidd:
Hi, I recently replaced the glass (only) to my Note 3 and I noticed that the proximity sensor is not working. I tried making a call and when I placed my phone by my ear, the screen wouldn't turn off. I also tried going to *#0*# and the sensor is constantly at 0.0. What do you guys suggest the problem is and what is recommended for a fix?

Thanks in Advance
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pooch11:
I was having trouble with my sensor so I downloaded Proximity Fix from the play store (free) and it actually worked. Keep in mind I didn't have a hardware problem like you did. Also, I've read that the app doesn't work on LP whereas I'm on KK. Give it a shot and see if it works. Doesn't cost anything!

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Aganar:
So it used to be that encrypting your Android device put a ridiculous amount of overhead on it and eventually slowed it to a crawl because the OS did the decryption completely in software instead of using hardware acceleration, even though most processors have supported it for awhile.

Apparently this was fixed in Marshmallow so that even devices that were not encrypted by default should now be able to use the encryption without quite so much lag on the device.

Has anyone who got the Marshmallow update on their Nexus 7 devices tried encrypting them to see if the performance holds up? I'm tempted to try it, but after the disaster the last time I encrypted my phone and had to reformat it to get the performance back to normal, I'm weary.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Accessories] mojo2000:
Two weeks ago, I got my new (and first) bt headset.

I bought it on ebay for 30 EUR.

It came without the original box or any instruction manuals,

but that's Ok since you can get the manual on jabra.com

I like its design,

its pretty light and I can wear it for a long time,

without the headset bothering me.

It's much bigger than other headsets,

but in exchange it comes with 300 hours of standby

(smaller headsets often only have like 70-100 hours)

I don't like the design of the charger,

because it's kinda bulky and you can only charge

the headset with the original charger.

(But again, you don't even need to take it with you on a weekend trip)

The headset comes with the normal functions of every bt headset.

Using the 3 buttons, you can:

-accept incoming calls

-dismiss incoming calls

-turn the volume up/down

-activate voice dialing (I never tested this function)

-call last used number

The last function activated ifselt 2-3 times while carrying

the headset in my jeans - thats pretty annoying.

A very decent blue led shows the headset status(off,on, on a call) and batterd status (normal, low, very low).

The best function of the headset is the vibrate function.

This is also why I bought it, because the Ameo lacks this (imho really important) function.

Inside your jeans, the vibrating headset fells like any mobile phone.

Wearing it behind your ear, it feels kinda strange the first times, but you get used to it.

But note: you cannot turn off this function!

The phone quality is okay,

not better than with other bt headsets I've tried.

Your partner sounds a bit distant, but you can understand him flawlessly.

The problem that you partner claims of not being able to understand you

isn't solved by this headset, though.

Please don't understand me wrong.

Using the headset he can understand you without problems most of the time.

But the problem some users have with their Ameo (bad speech quality)

isn't fixed by this headset.

The battery is pretty good,

I've only charged it twice now.

The only problem I still have, is that the battery of my Ameo

is empty within one day (without using the device at all),

when having bluetooth turned on all the time.

All in all, I would definitely buy it again,

because it's a must have accessory,

if you use the Ameo as your primary phone.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fedoraboy:
Yes, prerooted 5.1.1 Stock Rom

Edit: After some some testing and installing Existenz 3.1.0 for more testing, I have come to the conclusion that I either have to restart my phone or computer to get the right content shown, except for "storage" (and maybe "TitaniumBackup"). "storage" still only exists on my PC, "TitaniumBackup" is visible on my PC aswell now, but only after I copied an older folder of it to my sd-card and then to my internal storage (copying it direct to internal would result in error message).

Hi,

I bought my wife this tablet but it keeps on giving me a "cannot connect to the camera" error. I have checked it with many camera apps as well as from gallery but the same result a black screen and the error message. I have searched high and low on the device for an "update software" icon but the is none to be found in the settings. About the device shows a Baseband that starts with MOLY or MOBY and the Firmware with HT7 and shows as custom ROM HT7. Any ideas as to whether I can flash a newer firmware or a custom rom. It is currently on 4.4.2.

Model Number: MNPH1011M

Baseband Version: MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V35,2014/03/27 19:59

Build Number HT7.101.KK.HYX.B125>WXGA.16G.1G.LVDS.1021.V3.01

Custom Build Version: HT7

Android version: 4.4.2

Kernel Version: 3.4.67

Your assistance would be appreciated.

[Xposed General] Spott07:
2.1 is not the latest version. For KitKat, you need version 2.6 or 2.7 (which are also not the latest versions, but they're the versions that should work with your device.)

Okay Im sorry, its version 2.7 experimental1. Doesnt install neither 3.0 alpha4.

[Xposed General] Spott07:
2.7 is what you should be using. 3.0 is for Android 5.x Lollipop and will not work for your device running 4.4 KitKat.

You'll have to ask someone more knowledgeable than I, and you'll probably have to get a logcat for the install attempt as well, search "logcat" here for instructions.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benadiz:
Hi, I recently had a problem with my Samsung Galaxy J1 (SM-J100MU). I just try to insert another ROM using Odin3 and it doesn't work, then my brother try to put a root zip selecting all options in Odin and it makes the phone left with a black screen when turned On. I can go to Download Mode and Recovery Mode.

I just wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition, but it doesn't work.

What I have to do? Because I can not find the original Bootloader and Phone Modem and CSC if it just replaced with that root file. I don't know the motive of this 'black screen' when starting android. (Either the logo appears)

Now I'm downloading the original ROM with my Carrier to see if I can restore my phone

Thanks.

So I had a custom rom (Hybrid X 5.0) and I tried to factory reset. Now it goes straight to download mode. The top of the screen reads

"Could not do normal boot"

I tried to flash a custom recovery but nothing works. No stock recovery or custom recovery works. The Odin screen shows "PASS" but when it reboots it just turns off. Can anyone help or am I out of luck?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhill110:
In odin uncheck auto reboot and f. Reset time.

Have your phone ready to pull the battery.

Once you have done that plug in the phone and flash the recovery tar. When it's done unplug the phone, pull the battery and wait for say 10 seconds. Insert the battery and boot into recovery.

If you are using Odin 3.10.x use the "AP" slot to select the recovery tar. If you are using an older version of odin use the "PDA" slot to select the recovery tar.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ftc_osiris:
Did you get a working solution

I have the same problem exactly
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ftc_osiris:
Okay, I found a solution.

Prior to this, it had been freezing and restarting by itself for a couple of days and I was in the process of downloading a new ROM onto my computer (not the phone) when it just stopped working.

My phone became stuck in a weird loop where it would not boot. Instead, it would act dead (not seem to respond to the power button) but It would eventually jump to Download mode and would instead say something like the following:

"Could not do normal boot. ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)"

and

"ddi : mmc_read failed"

I could not get it to boot normally, into recovery or even directly into download mode. After I would pull the battery, I would have to wait a minute or two to get it to even come back on because it would ignore the power button being pushed.

Every time I tried to flash recorvery, firmware, pit, etc using ODIN in the "could not boot normally" download mode, it would instantly fail and spit out something like

UDC START

MMC: mmc_read fail

ODIN : flash read failure

and a short bit of blue bar would be showing on the download mode screen.

Anyhow, I had to go help my son with some stuff and was starting to assume I would need to have the phone warrantied due to a flash memory failure.

I left the phone alone for two or three hours with the battery out.

Do not ask why this worked but, when I came back, it started to boot normally but reset before a full boot.

After again pulling the battery, I got it to TRY to boot into recovery. It didn't get into recovery but it tried.

I then tried to put it into download mode manually and reflashed the TWRP recovery using ODIN.

IT WORKED.

I then used recovery to flash a ROM and MY PHONE HAS BEEN WORKING EVER SINCE.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atko1999:
Hi guys,

I did have the same problem, i did fix it by first flashing CMW recovery using ODIN. after that i could enter recovery and in CMW recovery i did flash the TWRP zip file. I now can enter TWRP normal.

Sorry for bad english....

I hope this all help for you too!

Good luck!

Hi all

I'm Facing the same thing above I reinstalled TWRP was OK for a while but still rebooting on cm13 on TW it isn't rebooting but takes a long while to boot Into recovery.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BGray210:
It could possibly be because the battery was overheating causing the phone to overheat too. I know when I have attempted to do flash with Odin, boot into TWRP, and then flash new ROM that the phone becomes VERY hot. You have to remember, you're putting it through a lot of demanding processes in a short amount of time, and with some custom ROMS you're changing quite a few things. Not to mention the fact that it has to do the initial start up and depending on how many apps are on the phone/ROM it has to start all of those as well.

Not sure if this is the cause, but it's my best guess at the moment. :D

I found a solution for rooting my D801 running Android 5.0.2. I used KingRoot to gain root access and then Super-Sume Pro to remove KingRoot and install SuperSU. I have not installed TWRP because I am going to stay on stock. It was difficult to find a one-click solution so I hope this helps someone else.

Kingroot has worked for me, too. Nothing else worked, no matter what I did. But Kingroot works great! Thanks for posting.
[T-Mobile LG G2] nbi1:
I have tried Purple Drake, ioroot, StumpRoot, and LGOneClickRoot. None of these worked. I'm particularly chagrined over the ioroot failure because ioroot is listed in the Cyanomodgen installation instructions.

I have not tried Kingroot and am hopeful it's the answer to my prayers.

Could you please confirm your T-Mobile Lollipop software info with mine to make sure we're on the same page? Many thanks.

Android version: 5.0.2

Build number: LRX22G

Software version: D80130c

Woohoo, Kingroot does indeed root the phone. That's the good news.

Now for the bad news. Super-Sume Pro does NOT remove KingRoot v4.8.0 (latest version). I like having a rooted phone, but I don't like having Spyware running on it that chews up bandwidth. How do I get rid of this thing? Brute force delete of binaries?

UPDATE: I got rid of KingRoot via method 2 at https://www.droidmen.com/remove-replace-kingroot-kinguser-with-supersu/. Unfortunately although RootChecker claims the phone is rooted none of the apps that need root can find the su binary because the SuperSU installation failed. Effectively the phone is un-rooted since apps requiring root are inoperable. So back to square 1. It's a big steaming pile of you-know-what.

UPDATE: I retraced my steps and re-ran the shell script of method 2 above. This time it worked. Kingroot is gone, SuperSU 2.49 is installed, and the phone is rooted according to root checker. The phone seemed strangely unstable for a while, but seems to have settled into normal behavior. Don't know if that was a consequence of this procedure or is possibly a hardware problem (battery?). Will keep a close eye on it, but for now all the apps that need root have it. Contemplating the installation of TWRP via GooManager, but that's not a high priority right now.

If anyone reading this is a bloatware removal expert (especially with regard to LG & T-Mobile) I'd like to hear from you. Tools that I've seen mentioned in this regard are Titanium Backup, System App Remover, and Clean Master.

Did you by any chance install TWRP? If so, how did you unlock the bootloader? I'm looking for a pain free unlock. Held out hope for FreeGee, but despite claims to the contrary this app doesn't support many G2 variants such as mine, the D801 30c (T-Mobile).
[T-Mobile LG G2] Bageland2000:
Never installed TWRP, sorry...
[T-Mobile LG G2] nbi1:
Don't try it with Flashify. It'll destroy your recovery. Before trying any custom recovery make sure you have the stock kdz on hand so you can flash the stock recovery if need be.

UPDATE: I was able to flash the stock recovery.img. Of course that doesn't help as far as TWRP is concerned, but at least you wouldn't have a totally munged recovery on the phone.

UPDATE: Was able to successfully install TWRP using Autorec after figuring out that the SuperSU "Mount Namespace Separation" setting needs to be cleared/unchecked.
