[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ambr0zie:
Good day gentlemen (and ladies),

First of all apologies if I don't post this in the correct place.

I have a problem with my Gionee Elife E5 phone and I suspect some of you will recognize the symptoms.

If the phone is set to 3G mode, every time I initiate a phone call, answer a phone call OR start data connection I receive the notification - Searching for GPS. Long pressing the notification - GPS search is started by SystemUI . Issue does not appear on 2G mode.

I did not install any abnormal apps - in fact I am not a Facebook/Twitter/ nagivation fan

Steps taken - I performed a factory reset - no results. Installed custom roms from needrom website - I am not allowed to post URLs - MIUI version and the stock Gionee version (I had a slightly customized rom from the factory - here it is sold with the name Cosmote Smart Xceed) - same problem. I installed an App Settings app to check the permission and basically disabled anything that asks for fine location and coarse location - still the same!

Now this is annoying but in the same moment this issue appeared (I bought the phone in April 2015 and the problem started in November) another odd thing started. I have a cheap smartwatch, U8 clone. For me it's extremely useful since usually I don;t hear/feel the phone in my pocket and I'm missing calls/texts. Watch connected and set to vibrate -> perfect! BUT when the phone is on 3G and the watch is connected, when I receive a call or initiate a call - from the watch or phone - the phone loses the signal and I see the message Radio Off exactly like I would remove the SIM card and put it back on. Issue does not appear on 2G therefore I suspect this is somehow connected?! (also, I tested the watch on another cheap phone with Mediatek, it works absolutely normal on 3G)

So now I have 2 options: 1. use 3G mode and see the annoying GPS notification and forget about the smartwatch and 2. use 2G mode, no GPS icon, watch can be used but low internet speed and lower quality in phone calls. I would prefer an option 3 where everything is normal - and hope this won't be throw away the phone and the watch.

I strongly suspect my network operator - Orange - is the root cause of the issues but they keep asking me to go to a phone service. I don;t think this is the case at all.

Any ideas are very appreciated.

My last question, did anyone test the new Lollipop ROM for Gionee E5? I see it appeared only a few days ago - I wasn;t aware of it. Not able to post the link but it is on needrom .

The description is not very encouraging - Lollipop rom not tested.you can brick your phone

[Edit 17/02] - indeed it bricks your phone, it was good I performed a backup first. The Lollipop ROM was deleted from needrom website. My problem still remains:)

Many thanks in advance for any help.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jollz04:
I am trying to build source for nexus 5x but i am unable to find the vendor binaries. I read a lot of post and in every post its written to extract the vendor.img from factory image and flash it using fastboot. I did the same & for the first time it got stuck on the boot loop. then i added it into compile module and flashed it using flashall. Everything went fine but many things doesn't work.

Bluetooth is not getting started, camera is getting FC & numerous other issues related to vendor blobs. If i flash the factory image everything works fine but if i get the vendor image from that and flash it using my build all the hardware issues pops up.

Can anyone tell me how can i flash the vendor binaries or how can i make it work during compile time ? I don't need a flashable zip

Hello Guys! I m new to moto g3 section. I have come to know that there is a hidden led light in ear speaker on moto g3. I am very happy to see that but its only working during charging. Is there any way to use this led for notification also? If someone has any idea or trick to do that please share. And please tell me even if it is possible to use it for notification or not?

Oh that disappointing :(
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gravemind2015:
I read online about this and they say the led is hardwired to power source so even if somehow the led is configured for notifications,still the phone needs to be plugged in to the charger.

*but* I think it may be possible someday.As far as i can remember the light goes off when we reboot the phone and we also have an option to enable that led in first place lol so their must be some control that defines wheather light stays on or off..:)

[Samsung Gear S2] codenameclass5:
I'm new to the Tizen world of development. From what I've been hearing, Tizen is so difficult to program for that it veers of your average app developers. Although I'm not one to turn my back on a challenge, it's hard to get some developers to take a serious & practical look at the realm of possibilities of currently unique tech like this.

There are massive notes & flow charts of practical applications for the Samsung GS2 I've created. To have something like the rotating bezel & touchscreen w/two buttons ON YOUR WRIST is device from heaven. Specially if one makes tethered remote access apps between the GS2 & corresponding cellular phone and/or tablet to control and manipulate other devices the GS2 may not be able to directly connect to. The possibilities are phenomenal.

What do developers think about the time and effort in producing a solid app foundation for Tizen's GS2 market? Even if it means massive collaborations and the drops of egos that us developers have from time to time, the payoff may open doors to greater engineering feats. I love to be on the front lines of progression, paving the way for progressive engineering and inspiring engineers to step out & ACT on their version of visions for tomorrow.
[Samsung Gear S2] Oobly:
The Tizen SDK is buggy and difficult to get all components installed and playing nicely and Tizen is a little harder to code for than Android. I'm still learning the UI code and overall application structure, but slowly getting there. :D

I do wish more developers would see the potential market and code for it as I see a whole plethora of possibilities, but very few developers. I'm aiming to get my first app complete and to the Gear store in a month or so. I'll gladly share my experiences here for other potential developers, so they don't make the same mistakes or can learn from my experience.
[Samsung Gear S2] GOIGIG:
I am interested In learning more about it personally, I am bookish but I'm motivated and I'll do everything I can to learn what's necessary
[Samsung Gear S2] Oobly:
The main thing is to first install the latest Java JDK, not just the JRE, but the full JDK and make sure the environment variables are set correctly. Then install the Tizen SDK and run the update manager. You need to install the certificate and wearable extensions from "Extras", the emulator from "Tizen Tools" and also the relevant tools from the "Wearable 2.3.1" group. Then you can start the IDE (a version of Eclipse) and select a simple example (choose ), try to compile it and run it with the emulator. You need to start the emulator and make sure it's in the "connected devices" area before running the app.

Be aware that the emulator uses a lot of processing power and can run slowly.

There are a number of different types of app you can build for the S2, native or web with different UI components / frameworks.

A good starting point: http://developer.samsung.com/gear

If you want to test your app on your actual S2, this is a great guide: http://www.tizenexperts.com/2015/12/how-to-deploy-to-gear-s2-smartwatch/

If you generate an author certificate, you can use the same one for the GearWatchDesigner, but that app has different Java requirements (32-bit JRE only required).

Some help

Hey guys,

I'm actually currently building an Android app to work with the Gear S2 based on the Integrated App model.

But I'm having some issues, as soon as I build my APK and deploy it in debug mode on the mobile phone, the OS immediately says there is no Samsung Gear app and uninstalls the APK.

Does anyone know how to get passed this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khal26:
Hi,

I hope I'm posting this question in the right place.

Any way, I have a Galaxy Note 5 Clone (Chinese).

I really like this phone. For my purposes, I am happy with its performance.

There is one thing that I noticed that is really puzzling.

I'm going to list the process in steps:

1- I power off the phone.

2- Connect the charging cable either directly to my computer (USB port) or connect to a wall outlet through the charger.

3- The phone starts to charge and I get the animated picture of it charging.

4- After a few seconds, the phone powers up on its own.

This is the part I don't get.

Is this normal behavior for this clone or is there a setting somewhere that needs to be turned ON or OFF.

By the way, it is running Android 5.1.1

Appreciate any help in this matter.

I wouldlike to remove the weather tab and to reduce the size of the clock.

Are you deaf, or just a little ignorent? The previous poster gave you the exact answer to your question...download the app, tweak the settings, and say "thank you my friends"! :D

The only other HTC Home plugin you might be referring to, is the small oneline todayplugin that can do almost nothing, and certainly doesn't feature any tabs.....so please; what are you jabbering about? (or be a little more exact as to what you mean)...thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikeeey:
where is the link just for the original HTC home plugin screen? when i get my kaiser id like to have it, then use this software as well. or does this software come with it?

To Moaske

Be quite and not be so offensive!!!!! I told that because i tried that program and i didn't obtain nothing. So, if you're so expert please can you tell me how to reduce the size of the clock with that program?!?!

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gogol:
No, you cant change the clock size, because all the other tabs are using the same "height".

The only customizer is the one that has been described.

Other than that, there are several options for you:

1. Hack and create your own tool

2. Contact HTC and beg them to make such changes

3. Dont use HTC Home plugin

4. ...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DOC190401:
Thanks

Ok. Thank you very much for the correct (and quite) answer. Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] flexte:
LOL! this is too funny. calling someone ignorant when he didnt say a thing to provoke it. he asked about customizing and to DECREASE the size of the clock. the link sent him to a program that yes can customize the tabs and the clock color/appearance. BUT it does not allow you to change the size. If he could create his own tool he would have done so. tough internet talk is played out. Im new here but not new to the world of ppc's and forum BS. save the tough **** for the street.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Moaske:
Ehm....my mistake...

But this quote seriously got me thinking that Mr DOC190401 didn't even quite look into to the solution offered, and mixing up two totally different today-plugins....

Anyway; changing the clocksize isn't an option right now (though someone will undoubtly come with something)...

After reading this back today (and the reactions) i might have dimmed my tone a bit more....but after visiting this forum quite some time, it bugs me how many people don't actually read a thread, or do a search, or even want to try something out.... (aspecially since i asked the very same question (almost) just two threads down when you posted, where you also double-posted)

I for one have found that i could solve most of my issues here, without even asking something new.... just read carefully and try something before opening various new threads on the same topic.

Anyway.... sorry for being 'offensive' (as you called that)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DOC190401:
No problem

First of all scuse me.

I just said what I said only because in that post I didn't found the solution to the problem of "big size clock". I did various search on this board about that problem without any solution.

So scuse for my tone.

Bye bye
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Ves:
This is something that will never change :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DOC190401:
but

there's a way to disable the big clock?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] InRBigness:
Absolutely!!! You uncheck the HTC home plug in. Yes thats the only way to do it as of now. Someone is going to build a new plug in that doesnt have the clock in it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rvdgeer:
Or...

You can get phoneAlarm and download the Mini Touch skin.

Don't forget to disable the HTC Home Today Plugin!

CM11 will boot up fine but Sailfish wont boot past the bootloader unlocked screen. Really i cant understand it as they are essentially the same devices, there is very little differences between them hardware wise and i've flashed many photon and razr m roms on my hd before now.

https://xdaforums.com/photon-q-4g-lte/general/sailfishos-3-photon-q-t3870979

UPDATE:

I finally got this to work on my XT926 thanks to the help of a [MENTION=7495219]elros34[/MENTION] It turned out to be quite a simple fix in the end which involves telnetting to the device and changing the touch screen driver.

To summarise the process:

1) Firstly you need to be on jellybean bootloader

2) This step might be unecessary but since technically this is a XT907 ROM i flashed TWRP 3.0.2-1 for the XT907. Link is here https://xdaforums.com/droid-razr-m/general/recovery-t3614899

3) Download and flash cm-11-20150626-SNAPSHOT-XNG3CAO1L8-moto_msm8960_jbbl.zip https://archive.org/download/cmarch...626-SNAPSHOT-XNG3CAO1L8-moto_msm8960_jbbl.zip

4) Download and flash the sailfish zip for the xt907 https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75093335&postcount=156

5) Reboot and wait a good 10 mins. You should eventually see a red or orange led with a black screen which indicates sailfish is trying to boot.

6) At this point you need to reboot to TWRP and issue the following command. Note i did this using the adb shell but you could do the same using the TWRP terminal

rm /data/.stowaways/sailfishos/init_disable_telnet

7) Now that telnet is enabled you need to reboot and telnet to the device using a linux or windows machine connected through usb, you might have to reboot several times until telnet connects. Note i used putty under windows but you could use the standard linux or windows terminal as long as you have telnet installed and enabled.

telnet 192.168.2.15 2323

8) Once your in through telnet cd to the following directory

/var/lib/environment/compositor

and edit the following file using vi

vi droid-hal-device.conf

. Enter insert mode using "i" and change "/dev/touchscreen" to "/dev/input/event1". Exit insert mode using "esc". save the file using ":wq" and reboot.

9) Result Sailfish should boot correctly.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elros34:
Telnet is only needed for debugging so simplified instruction could be:

...

4) Flash sailfish

5) As a root in TWRP:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luckieddie:
My apologies if this enquiry seems somewhat basic but my HTC one M8 crashed after the latest update and HTC refuse to assist other than point me to you, and a selection of other sites, and say 'off you go, everything you need you can find here'. I have no clue what I'm looking for or where to find it. I'm relatively tech savvy but have no Android experience so treat me like an idiot rather than assume I know anything, it's safer that way!

I'm running Marshmellow but after the latest update from HTC (Jan 2016) my phone won't go past recovery. I can get to fastboot. I've 'getvar all' and have that information, though don't understand what I'm looking at. I suspect the os is imbedded in the phone, a bit like a bias on a motherboard, so I'm assuming (dangerous I know) that I need to 'flash'(?) the phone with the os?

How, what, when, why?

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

You should look here:

http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8

I've only messed around with one android phone so far (HTC Sensation), and the process seems to be something along the lines of this:

1 - Unlock the bootloader (You need to install software and drivers)

2- Change the state of S-On to S-Off

3 - Flash a custom recovery (apparently all stock recoveries are useless), then one of the following:

4a - Get permanent root access for the stock rom (the OS the phone comes with)

4b- Back up the stock rom and then flash a custom rom (to have a different OS)

4c- Restore a back up of a rom if necessary (to revert back to an OS you were using before)

However there are more steps for each of the following that I mentioned above, that's just the short explanation.
