Hello,

I have an old Acer Iconia A701 with Android 4.1.1. I'm looking for a way to upgrade it to Marshmallow or if not at least Lollipop. I've found a couple of sites offering ROMs to be downloaded from public file-sharing sites - but all of them require some shady offers to be taken up just to be able to download the roms.

Are there any good directly downloadable roms for this model available anywhere?

Thank you.

Hey guys! As I mentioned in the title, these apps just won't start at all. Just a brief black screen and then I'm bounced back to start.

All other apps I've tried work fine (VLC, Steam, Facebook, Messenger, etc) but my two most important ones won't.:crying:

I have uninstalled them, restarted my phone, and reinstalled them, but that didn't fix anything.

And since I literally JUST got into this scene, I have no idea if the problem lies with my phone (Lumia 820), my firmware (10.0.14376.0), or in the latest updates to those two apps.:confused:

Any help would be much appreciated.

If the apps work for you, please tell me your configuration so I can start eliminating culprits, and if they don't, please tell me anyway so I can stop pulling my hair out because it's not just me :laugh:
[Windows 10 Mobile] boe323:
Ive got facebook and messenger installed on 14376 ...they work fine but then I'm using a Lumia 950 , is your phone built for win 10 ?, I have noticed the fm radio interface no longer opens(whats left of it anyway) probably removed that last bit lol. nows theres no stock at all ...no RDS ...bummer.
[Windows 10 Mobile] xxxg01:
my L730 is on the same build too.. but everything works perfectly (the bbm bugs on my L730 gone too).

where the app is installed? The SD card or on the phone? might be doing something about it..
[Windows 10 Mobile] titi66200:
Spotify and Whatsapp works fine on my Lumia 1020 RS 14376.0.
[Windows 10 Mobile] fer_cabr:
Whatsapp works fine in my 820 14376...
[Windows 10 Mobile] UserNamist:
Which device did you spoof your phone to to get windows 10?
[Windows 10 Mobile] UserNamist:
Whatsapp and Spotify are both installed on the device.. No SD card in the phone.

I don't know if it's relevant, but those were also the only two apps I had installed before I even upgraded....

I'm considering a "hard reset" but I don't know what that means, how to perform one, or what I'll lose in the process (files/settings don't matter, but I'd rather not go through the whole process of installing 10 on my unsupported phone again)
[Windows 10 Mobile] fer_cabr:
Lumia 950 XL
[Windows 10 Mobile] xxxg01:
hard reset that simply reset with nokia/windows recovery tool that reset your Phone including back to the 1st OS that were installed to your phone. make sure you do back up everything you need before, that's the last option you have if any other else not fixing your whatsapp and spotify bug.
[Windows 10 Mobile] UserNamist:
Alright, I finally got it working, but it took a factory reset.

Powered on phone with volume down button pressed until " ! " appeared on screen then entered the following button combination:

VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER + VOL DOWN

Wish I knew what caused it in the first place (the only thing I can think of is that it had something to do with the fact that they were installed before the upgrade to windows 10). Case closed.
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] dangle79:
So 100GB free for two years on Google, great, thanks!! They did similar with Dropbox back when I got my Jewel. Ideal purpose here is photos of my kids getting backed up, I don't create nearly that many spreadsheets to warrant that kind of storage.

Photos WILL NOT back up photos via wi-fi, the Assistant in the app just says "Waiting for Wi-Fi", well the wait is over, you've been connected to wi-fi almost constantly for a week now. As soon as you flip the switch to use mobile data, they back up fine, over mobile data. I'm unlimited, so that's not a huge issue, just seems like a power drain to me.

I've done all the toggling on and off, uninstalled app (updates to system app only, not rooted yet so still on stock), cleared data/cache, blah blah blah. Seems like the app isn't allowed to see the Wi-Fi state or something. I've Googled the issue and I don't seem to be the only one facing it. Only thing I haven't tried is removing my Google account and re-adding it, but someone else on another forum states to have tried it to no avail.

Has anyone here on this forum of geniuses seen this and figured it out?????

thanks!!!
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] landaile:
I have had the exact same issue. I had to set it to allow it to use wireless network and then turn that back off. It's a crap work around I know, but at least they get backed up.
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] dangle79:
that's kind of where i'm at. mobile data is the only option. just don't know if it's an app thing or something with sense. haven't tried a factory reset yet, but i give myself probably another three or four days before i finally break down and unlock so i guess i'll find out then if that fixes it.
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] landaile:
Mine still went over wifi. I just had to switch it to allow over wireless.
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] dangle79:
how could you tell?
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] fryguy:
Could be wrong but think he is saying he set to wireless network then back to Wi-Fi and then sync. I had same problem so just left mine on both Wi-Fi and wireless network. Would rather just Wi-Fi but don't want to lose photos
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] dangle79:
I thought that might be a possibility, but none of the above have worked for me. Mobile data only
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] kronosqq:
I have the same problem. There were a few times early on that I got it to work on Wi-Fi by toggling and clearing stuff in various combinations, but never consistently, so I just ended up saying screw it and using mobile data.

I remember that I had the same issue on a stock Android ROM on my M8 at one point though, so I don't think it's a sense issue.

Sent from my HTC 10
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] ahecht:
Same issue here. I ended up just letting it go over mobile data (especially since I have unlimited data with Sprint)
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] landaile:
Was on vacation so I couldn't reply.

I have zero cell coverage at home so data cannot cross the cell network. I had issues with it not uploading over wifi. I set it to use cellular data and photos started backing up. Obviously it's only over WiFi because I don't have cell coverage at home. Turn off the cellular data backup setting and it stops uploading on WiFi again.
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] z0mt3c:
same trouble with a HTC 10 Port on my HTC m9
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] GallopingCow:
I had the exact same issue, and found the fix on reddit.

"Go to Settings, go to Data Usage, then open the menu and go to Network Restrictions. Tap the WiFi you're connected to so it is a metered network, and turn it back off. Should correct everything."

For whatever reason, toggling that setting makes Photos start backing up over WiFi again.
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mbai2:
This issue goes beyond just Google Photos. I have noticed that it is global so anything that is set to download over WiFi only won't ever download. This includes automatic updates in the Play Store and Spotify downloads. There has to be a fix coming for this soon from HTC. I wonder if they are even aware of this bug...
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] PeterMarkoff:
just want to let you know guys this is no HTC related, I have Xiaomi Mi4c with CM13.1 facing exactly same problem in Flickr and Google Photos app, only solution is mentioned in this thread enable and disable your wifi network as metered.

EDIT: I am using AFWall+ and both Flickr and Google Photos had same issue and were restricted by firewall only to access Wifi, I am curious if it's gonna help if I will allow them to use mobile data and restrict only within the app.
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] dangle79:
I can confirm that here, definitely something up with the app. Did the meter toggle fix, disabled mobile data, snapped a photo, watched it back up over wifi. Then for fun I went into backup settings and turned off backup over cellular data and snapped another photo, waiting for wifi.
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] talvigi:
Hay guys i was having the same issue of not being able to upload my photos on google photos app, but i don't know when it started up and what caused it to do so, but i have digged up a solution from googlephotos help page, a guy named

Gaieus

solved this problem and shared his steps there. I have just copy pasted them here ,

I had the same issue. I finally found what to do and it seems to work for me now (hopefully for others, too):

Go to your settings > data usage

Tap on the three dot-menu icon at the top right

Select mobile hotspots

Uncheck your own (or any constant, reliable connection you often use) so that it is not marked with green as a mobile hotspot

It seems that the phone is not using mobile hotspots to do the background uploading (probably because they are often unreliable and you may not stay in the range for long enough - and as has been said, the pho app cannot do resuming of uploads already started when you get to a wifi range again)

So press thanks button if i helped you guys. Thanks for visiting XDA
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] DieH@rd:
I had the same issue for the long time and I just now managed to fix it.

Go to the Settings and fully FORGET your WiFi connection. Reconnect by entering again your password.

That did it for me. After half a year of inactivity, Playstore immediately started updating my apps and Photos started backing up over 430 images that were in the que.

Switching to mobile data also fixed "waiting for WiFi" holdup inside Photos app, but since I am on 500MB/month data plan, I never relied on that.
[Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Hixman:
Did you guys have an SD card formatted as internal? I think the issue stems from that. I had the same issue a while back with more than one app like google photos, google play music (for podcast downloads), etc... basically anything that waited for Wifi to do anything.

I backed up and redid everything without formatting the card as internal and haven't had those issues since.

I've heard formatting as internal can cause other odd problems too.

Once I uninstalled all the Google Photo updates, it started working for me. The only Settings option I had available in the latest version was "About". After removing the updates, all the Settings items returned and so did the ability to sync.

Hi everyone.

I have Ported a TWRP recovery on my device which is Spreadtrum SC7731C.

The operation is successfull and i am currently using the ported recovery.

But 1 thing mess me up.

The recovery is fine working after i flashed.

The System and Sdcard partition is fine working.

While this is happening, i cannot Wipe Data or Wipe Dalvik/cache with my device.

Even if im using this custom recovery it feels like my recovery is nothing.

Can someone there with Experience can help me.

Please help me with this problem.

I would aopreciate the effort..

I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to android development, so please bear with me:silly:.

I get a black screen till the call is ended and than i can turn the screen with the power button or cerntral button on. Is this a known problem? Is there a solution? Restore doesnt make it better. BTW i am not rooted, stock on 6.0.1

I have to press thu buttons a couple of times to get it tu turn on. This is my first samsung phone and i'm already beginning to hate it. With my HTC phone i never had such problems.

We have to thank them

By adding Facebook _and_ its messenger, they proved they don't listen to their users and sell them out for couple of $$$ from Facebook.

[ZenFone 2 General] fred_gaou:
lol

They and all other brands do those kind of thing for their customers, make their life easier, not only because they made a pact with the devil.

Even for unroot devices, ASUS provides a tool to set which app can start at boot then you hide its shortcut as if this app had never been installed.

Good luck to find a smartphone completely naked when you buy it: no browser, no Google apps, nothing.

What I read so far is, that the MM ROM has some severe bugs, but the Asus Dev-Team felt the need to include Facebook apps into the new beta build instead of focussing to make the ROM stable first :silly:

lol

Asus team:

- Boss, we have a critical stability issue here and here.

- Whatever. Did you move the Facebook and Instagram to /system?

- No, boss. I was working on the known bugs lists. Sorry.

- What? Facebook is a priority 0 app! Do it!
[ZenFone 2 General] TheSSJ:

[ZenFone 2 General] pecholino:
It's not worth frustrating over ASUS support or this community. Forget about the MM update and enjoy life:)

Maybe one day ASUS will deliver, but who cares. ZF2 is becoming obsolete because of the chipset and the lack of support. Soon we will need to buy a new device and I am sure, mine won't have an ASUS logo on it (zf3 deluxe too expencive and may have ****ty support).
