Thanks for everybody who replied, you guys were helpful in one way or another.

LG's manufactures warranty said that my problem needed to repaired, the process will take 7-9 business days, if they cannot fix it they would send me a new phone.

Mods; if needed feel free to close this threat. Thanks
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobby janow:
There has to be a way to recover from this. All the guides say to do this or that after you boot into rom and allow unlock bootloader. What if you can't get into the rom. Come on guys someone knows what to do. IRC perhaps? All you need to do is unlock the effin' bootloader and you're golden.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jawmail:
Sorry I'm late to the party. Are you saying when you try to go to stock recovery it's not working? You've probably tried this but: power off, power and vol. down to get to bootloader screen, from there vol. up twice to recovery press power button, from there you should see green android w/ red exclamation triangle on its chest, press power and vol. up at the same time once or twice to get to stock recovery.

If this doesn't work you're pooched. Your stock recovery is probably corrupt so ADB side load update will not work. With bootloader locked and OEM unlocking not checked in settings you can't install anything in fastboot like factory image or TWRP, you have no options but to RMA sorry.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harmonized1314:
LeGrassy, try this and report back. When you see the green Android in recovery, hold down the power button and press the volume up button to bring up the recovery menu. You should be able to update from ADB. Instructions are here http://www.androidbeat.com/2015/10/...w-ota-update-nexus-5-nexus-6-nexus-7-nexus-9/

Hi.

Until yesterday i use with great satisfaction Cyanogen 12.1 on my XT1068, with stock Cyanogen camera, and the possibility to choice save location (internal memory or SD) of phot and video.

Today i've flashed Cyanogen 13, clean install, and the option to use SD card as save location in camera menu there is no more.

Why? Bug? Other?

inb4 "use another camera app": i don't want to use another camera app :D

Thanks

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ragarianok:
It's a feature, yeah. The idea is that Google wants you to format your external SD as internal. As far as I know, that's the only way to save photos taken with the camera app onto the "external" SD.

[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rageplay:
I have a Philips OST 690 Radio with bluetooth in my bedroom.

Whenever I stream audio to it trough Bluetooth, it skips/stutters quite a lot.

This doesn't happen in the living room where I stream Bluetooth trough a Logitech Bluetooth adapter to my stereo.

I can demonstrate it to you by recording an audio clip if you want.

This didn't happen with my Moto X Play that I had before this.

I already tried the following:

- Both NuPlayer and Awesomeplayer in dev options

- Multiple music players (Spotify, SoundCloud, Jair Player, Omich Player)

- Soundcloud song in chrome on Safe mode

Anyone have a solution for this?

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlastTyrantKM:
About a month ago my Tab 4 started to act a bit funny. Every time I turn the screen back on after it has auto-dimmed, I get this message in the status bar "SD card has been unexpectedly removed". Two seconds later I get another status bar message saying "Mounting SD card". I then get a popup message saying "An SD card has been inserted. Would you like to go to your files?" Clicking 'OK' takes me to the built-in files app.

Probably related -- Two days ago the device was telling me that no SD card is inserted. The built-in files app and also Solid Explorer were both telling that there was no SD card inserted. A reboot fixed the card not showing, but I still get the annoying "SD card has been unexpectedly removed" message.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how to stop it?

Edit -- 100% stock these days. Not even rooted

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajndede:
Just got my Nexus 5x Thursday, love it except the one thing that will cause me to send it back on Monday if I can't figure this out.

In the default messaging app the microphone key is directly below the send key so every time I hit the microphone key with my fat fingers I hit the send key. I have yet to get the microphone to come up, the wife and kids can hit it just fine.

Question is can this microphone key be moved easily without having to buy some other keyboard app, rooting, or installing a custom ROM?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PiousInquisitor:
Navigate to the keyboard settings (from settings, or by holding the comma key then selecting Android Keyboard Settings (AOSP)) > Preferences ~ Voice input key.

Or use one of the many free keyboards. I sometimes use Swiftkey.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Broken303:
i don't think this is what OP is looking for, since this options just disables the button and doesn't move it. but it seems that this is the only option available influencing the button at all.

considering the 'send' button only shows up once there was an actual input and also not having any problems so far with my own big paws, the only suggestions i can make are:

-aiming lower on the button

-using voice input (only) from the start of the message

-try another app for a more intelligent positioning of the 'send' button (hangouts?)

-(temporarily) switching to voice-input as active keyboard
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajndede@gmx.com:
Thanks for the reply. That only removes the Mic key, doesn't give me the option to move they key to a different location (some place NOT by the send key). I have been trying the free keyboards but no luck so far.

Thanks again

If it is a kernel, then dont create a normal thread. Create a DevDB project for testing it. Or I will make a DevDB project and give you the credits.
[Moto E General] Cheez2553:
I think it doesn't "reserve" being a project because this is just an experiment i made with a toolchain,also i'm not going to add any feature to it anytime soon.
[Moto E General] -z3r0-:
yes it's working fine and make things better.

Overall a decent kernel to try on.

hey man can you add a feature list or what tweaks it does.

That'll be awesome.

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawly:
Hi,

since the internal storage of my 8GB Moto G3 is pretty small, I wanted to move apps to my external SD, but there is only a hand full of apps I can move.

So now I wanted to partition the external SD I have, but when I want to start the partitioning, it says "E: Unable to locate device to partition".

When I google for exactly this error message, I can't find any solution. I formatted the SD via the phone, I also formatted it via PC to FAT32 and exFAT and I formatted it via TWRP to exFAT and also to EXT3 and EXT4, none of these methods worked.

I also tried it with the MicroSD mounted and unmounted, made no difference.

Also can I make the external SD to the main storage for the phone, so all apps put their files on the SD card like Whatsapp, without symlinking every folder manually?
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tel864:
All apps won't move to the SD. I'm guessing that if the developer specifies internal, that's all you get. On the first soak you could force apps to external which I tried with mixed results. A few would work, some wouldn't. Even on the latest, some app's widgets won't work if the app is on external.

Yes 23 hours and in my case with a full charge my note 5 says that it will only last 10:30 hours !

First I would like to express my sincere thanks to the candidates for taking the time to participate in the forum and share knowledge with others who helped making this forum informative and successful. I got most of my knowledge in android OS from this informative domain.

What I did:

1- Unlocked bootloader

2- Root and flashed CWM recovery

3- Backed up all mobile partitions and saved them to the laptop

4- Made flashable ZIP file of Images extracted from UPDATE.APP MT7-CL00_EMUI3.1_Android5.1_B354 including recovery.img

5- Flashed the ZIP file by CWM recovery. <<

didn't wipe Data and Cache

After that the mobile is not able to boot, also not booting to recovery. only black screen and tiny led light blinking red and green while pressing power button, I only can access the Bootloader & Rescue Mode.

6- Unlocked bootloader again and flashed CWM by fastboot with successful message. although can not boot into recovery.

7- Flashed back all partitions that backed up in step 3 although no success booting into system or even recovery.

8- Re-locked bootloader and Placed dload folder containing 4.4.2 UPDATE.APP on SD Card root but no success accessing upgrade mode by holding volume keys + Power key. only tiny led flashing red and green while it is black screen.

9- Extracted all images of UPDATE.APP and flashed cache, boot, system, recovery and user data images by fastboot and getting successful message although no success booting. :rolleyes:

Also, fastboot erase ....... all giving error: FAILED (remote: Command not allowed) in spite of unlocked bootloader.

Please help guys, What can I do to fix it. :confused:

Thanks All.

[Repurposing Old Devices] crankine3:
Sadly I have moved onto another personal phone, but since I have a plethora of XT897's lying around, I would like to be able to use them for other tasks.

When thinking of various things like hidden GPS tracker for my car or baby monitor for friends, one thing that really gets in the way is the fact that if the phone looses power for ~18 hours (however long the battery last given load), when power is applied again to the USB port, the phone by default stays off.

Does anyone know how to get the phone to automatically power on after the battery has died and it has started to recharge via USB? (Anything short of a 5 minute timer wired to the power button.)

I think I once saw people playing with the bootloader once, not sure if that is the right direction or not.
[Repurposing Old Devices] crankine3:
All my recent toys have been moved over to CM ... would the stock OS have something in the "Hidden Menu" Motorola app for this? Does anyone have info on that app?
[Repurposing Old Devices] schmandroid:
I believe powering the device through the 5th pin on the USB will allow it to run without a battery, but I'm yet to try it. This may solve your problem if you hardwire the handset to your car battery etc.

I've often thought about repurposing handsets in this way - built in GPS/dash cam/music centre for a car etc, but without the heat & current draw of charging a battery.
[Repurposing Old Devices] crankine3:
Not running with an internal battery is an option, but could I get some more details of what you mean by 5th pin on the USB? Whats different than the typical charger with pin 1 at Vcc and pin 5 at Gnd? I try a typical USB charger with no battery in a phone, and I get the green charging light but the phone doesn't come on and won't come on when I hit the power button.
[Repurposing Old Devices] crankine3:
I've seen a few things about making an "active cable" by pulling the oddly used pin 4 high as shown:

http://www.atrixforums.com/forum/at...your-own-motorola-factory-cable-schematic.jpg

https://cdn-images.xda-developers.com/direct/8/9/4/9/1/1/FAC_CAB.jpg

Is that what you were thinking of? I need to try to get a hold of a micro cable that has all wires coming through.
[Repurposing Old Devices] schmandroid:
Yeah, that's what I was talking about.

The micro usb cable plugs all have the 'extra' pin in them, but not the wire usually.

A USBOTG cable will either have the wire or the link to the pin.

Alternatively, buy a plug & make it up yourself??

I just haven't got round to testing it all out yet.

---------- Post added at 09:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 AM ----------

One frustrating thing about car docks etc is that when the phone/battery heats up, it stops charging the battery. This causes the battery to discharge while using GPS etc, so when I get to my destination, I also have a flat battery.

Running without a battery should overcome this. The battery has a temp sensor in it, which stops the charge cycle.

Alternative to the modded USB cable is running a voltage reducer, & hooking it straight to the battery input terminal on the phone. Around 3.6Vdc (3,5-4Vdc) should do it.

---------- Post added at 09:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

Not useful for a portable handset, but for a built-in device it is ideal.
[Repurposing Old Devices] enigma9o7:
I dunno if this helps you, but if I charge from PC USB port, I can't turn off the phone, it'll just restart by itself. If I charge from wall or car charger, it will stay on or off. Don't quite understand why, but it's quite annoying to charge from pc usb when you're battery is super low as it just constantly reboots itself until it builds up a little charge, but this annoyance may be useful to you.
[Repurposing Old Devices] steve8x8:
There are different kinds of USB cables around: the "better" ones have both 0V/5V and data wires, while a few (charge-only) don't use the data wires. The latter type often comes with power banks - it's a tad cheaper... Try to find such a cable, and you'll be fine.
[Repurposing Old Devices] Torgadden:
I run a little Xperia mini pro in my car, I went down the route of deleting the chargemon file to get it to power back up if the battery dies as I can't access the hard keys. This has worked fine for me over the past year or so.

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macallik:
One last resort option is to send it to Alcatel. I had issues with my power button failing and they resolved it. (FTR I was still under warranty)
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gridmuncher:
I had this problem. Eventually found a video for it on YouTube. I couldn't return my phone to Alcatel as I had dropped it in the toilet ? and then taken it apart to dry it out.

If its still under warranty I would return it to Alcatel. If not then the way to turn it on is a bit of a pain at first but quite easy when you've done it a few times. You do have to take the back off your phone.

If you are happy there is a reasonable amount of charge already in it then plug it in to a charger whilst holding the volume up button (or down button I forget which!) This should start the phone in the recovery mode.

Then unplug the phone.

Then very quickly disconnect and reconnect the battery.

Phone will turn on.

Put phone back together.

Keep battery charged!
