You're a GENIUS - I've just reinstalled the Task cab from the collection here and it seems to be back to normal :)

Big thanks,

Gary.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] smittyofdhs:
glad to hear it... :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] lgshaw:
Which task manager cab?

Which task manager cab did you install; there are two but no note about the difference between them. Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] smittyofdhs:
Here's the lastest version that I've been able to find and it works good....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gxprice:
Actually, it was late and the only one I saw when looking quickly through was wktask1_1170 (in the cab collection). I guess this is the OEM version(?).

Is there any advantage for me uninstalling this and installing the latest version (presumably a local customised version)?

Regards,

Gary.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] smittyofdhs:
that's not the HTC tassk manager, that is a totally different task manager.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gxprice:
Interesting ....

It did exactly what I expected and what was on the phone in the first place (tiny drop down menu top right corner of today screen, properly closes programs, etc.)

Having said that, I've just checked my "Remove Programs" list and indeed, it says "waku WkTASK"; doesn't sound very OEM to me. Does work correctly though.

Is there any advantage to the other Task Managers that have been mentioned?

Regards,

Gary.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] smittyofdhs:
no, actually wktask has more functionality, maybe too much. Are you using a custom ROM? I ask because wktask doesn't come standard in the OEM ROMs.

The HTC version is just a task manager. You can find a screenshot here:

http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-htc-task-manager-v2-0.html
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gxprice:
No, I'm just using the standard ROM that came with the phone. For the task manager, I just went to the directory here and picked the first file that I saw with "Task" in the title ....

I confirm again: it does work though :)

I am thinking about a custom ROM but am 1> fairly confused about the range out there and b> am waiting for a critical benefit such as the new video drivers.

Regards,

Gary.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] smittyofdhs:
well no rom is going to have video drivers, at least for now. that would have to come from HTC.

as for which rom to choose, Dutty's are some of the best. Which ever one you choose, make sure to research these forums to get other people's opinions first.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nar001:
Would it be possible to update the kernel of the N6? Since it's still using an old kernel (3.10)? I know Qualcomm is the one who normally would do the work, but how hard would it be, if someone had to update the kernel and such?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lawstorant:
Well, upgrading the Linux kernel won't do much to improve Android based device. Custom kernels are constantly up to date with patches to 3.10, which is a LTS (long term support) kernel. It's EOL is october 2017, that means only after this date there is a real benefit in upgrading to newer release as far as security reasons are concerned.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G8D:
Hi

My Nexus 5 has entered into (what I believe to be) a hardware bootloop due to a faulty power button switch. I will look into getting it fixed locally but am currently wondering if there's a way to get the phone on (disabling the power button in some way?) in order that I can recover data from the built in storage.

I realise this is unlikely as it would involve some kind of invasive hardware trick.

On the basis that my phone may never turn back on, is there any way to extract data from the built in storage at all?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aciupapa:
try smacking it into table below the power button. Seriously :D If it wont help, just pop off the back cover and using a knife or something "brake" the button, and insert the usb cable while holding volume down button,. then send "fastboot reboot" command. You are going to fix the button anyway, so breaking it wont matter
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mairo:
I had same problem. I took phone apart and soaked button side in pure alcohol. And then some tapping and pushing the button and it started to work.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gauthier81:
The power button getting stuck has happened a few times to me. I literally just find a wood table and give a few stiff taps to the top corner of the phone (power button facing down). Always does the trick for me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G8D:
Thanks, but I've had no luck with this 'solution'. I have tried tactically hitting my device but no luck. Have also smacked it down out of anger and no luck either.

I think there are two distinct power button failures. One where the button still works but sticks and can be unstuck (I had this on my first Nexus 5 and it was replaced by Google out of warranty) and another where the power button module fails and becomes 'always on' needing replaced.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] akropinski:
Hello,

I installed the kali kernel and net hunter as per http://xdaforums.com/axon-7/development/kernel-kali-nethunter-zte-axon-7-t3520280 and everything booted fine. I could net get my external wifi adapter to be recognized so after much troubleshooting I noticed that my phone no longer recognizes the otg cables: i cannot mount a flash drive any more or use my sir with sir touch. I refreshed my back up and all work. Anyone else having this issue?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] CandyFoxJ:
Hadn't thought to test it as I was still fighting with my wifi adapter but it would appear that OTG doesn't work for me either using the latest build
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] akropinski:
I saw your post just after I made this one. I to struggled with the wifi adapter thinking it was the adapter till I tried out the OTG cable. Hopefully it is a quick kernel fix.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jcadduono:
yeah I noticed this too, it wasn't happening before I uploaded the kernel so not sure what happened there.

It's most likely related to the DWC3 driver updates from mainline being unstable.

I'd reflash stock system & boot followed by SuperSU for now until I resolve it.

I'm working with a new kernel base at the moment which I plan on rebasing NetHunter onto but I haven't finished solving the audio issues.

Update: Looks like it's due to the HID gadget patch, though not sure how it's interfering. Maybe the USB descriptors are incorrect. :S

This tablet has sms send-receive feature, this has a meaning as could make phone calls by sim card, but there is not caller menu. How to install Galaxy Tab A6 SM-T285 rom, to use phone feature to have caller menu same like A6 SM-T285.

I tried to install A6 SM-T285 rom via download mode to the device but failed. Actually If I could root A6 SM-T287, I think I can install A6 SM-T285 rom, and this will activate phone feature. But I couldn't find A6 SM-T287 root. and root with A6 SM-T285 failed also.

[General Questions and Answers] YoungDON:
Hey guys. I have an unusual problem with my phone.

I was using my phone one night while in bed, playing a game that requires online connection when suddenly, my phone slipped from my hands. I managed to save it from falling to the floor, but it hit the wooden frame of the bed in the process. I checked the phone out and noticed no problem with it. The screen was fine, nothing broken on the exterior. So I tried to go back to my game, but it complained that there was no internet connection. That was when I noticed the signal had disappeared and the phone displayed "No service". I tried turning airplane mode on and off........nothing, restarted the phone.........no change. I turned off the phone and went to sleep.

In the late hours of the morning, I switched it on, and was greeted with the "emergency calls only" warning. I tried removing and re-inserting the sim card, restarting the phone and when I tried everything I could think of, I did a factory reset on the phone. Still, nothing changed. So, to rule out the possibility that the service was at fault, I removed the sim and inserted it into my brother's phone. It worked as it should! I inserted my brother's sim into my phone, same thing. At times, I get "No service", at times, "Emergency calls only", even some times, I get "No sim card", when there's actually a working sim card in the phone. These led me to believe the phone isn't detecting sim cards, but sometimes, the phone recognizes my sim card and the signal shows up, but I'm unable to use mobile data connection, make or receive calls or texts, or even dial a code to check my airtime balance.

So I decided it was definitely the hardware that had developed a fault. But then, one day, I went to visit a friend quite far away from where I lived, and I took my phone with me. To my surprise, my phone worked flawlessly there. I was able to use data connection and was getting good speeds. I was able to call and text. I removed the sim and put in another sim and it was the same.........worked flawlessly. Now, I don't know what to think anymore because as soon as I got back home, I was again getting the No service/Emergency calls only warnings, and the same sims work in my brother's phone - my brother lives with me.

** I know (or think) it's not a software problem because it would have been resolved after I hard reset it. Plus, it all started when it hit the bed.

** I know it's not the service in my area because the sim works in my brother's phone and my brother stays with me.

** I can't decide if it's an hardware problem because sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Some facts about the phone (if it helps)

** The phone is rooted

** It uses a sim tray. The type that allows two micro-sims or one micro-sim and one sd-card.

** The phone gets hot when I use it extensively.

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks guys.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markzip:
Moving my sister from her failing Nexus 4 to my barely used Samsung Galaxy S4 Play Edition (stock, not rooted).

They both run Android 5.1, so the transition is not a huge problem. She'll eventually get over the switched position of the softkeys, we all do.

BUT I am feeling like a real idiot because I simply cannot invoke the Recent Apps feature. If you press the bottom left key you get a menu. Bottom right is “Back” and if you press the home key you get Home. If you long-press Home, you get the setup page for what I think of as "Google Now" or the Google App.

She does not use Google Now ("why should I") so we've done a barebones config of that, but the behaviour persists when long pressing home.

So how do you invoke the recent apps? She uses it as a fast switcher between currently open apps. I cannot help but feel that I am missing something really obvious here....

This is almost a dealbreaker.

Here are the specifics of the unit:

Model: GT-I9505G

Android Version:5.1

Baseband version: I9505GUEUDPF1

Keenel Vesion: 3.4.0-2921977

Build Number: LMY47O.S008.160601

Remember, this is the Play edition and so it never had TouchWiz on it.

Suggestions?

TIA
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markzip:
OP here: Answer is double-press home button

Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition double-press home button to get the "Recent Apps"

Leaving this here for the next idiot who, like me, couldn't figure this out.

Also, recent apps persist across reboots.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
There's a conflict here. The recents button is the home button (long pressing). Unfortunately, Google now also uses the same activation method.

Since she doesn't use Google now, maybe you can remove the launcher or Google now altogether?

Or have you tried double press?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markzip:
Thanks. We were writing at the same time. Double-press works.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  Accessories] mikesands:
I have just obtained a Samsung BT wep210 which is brilliant 'cos it doesn't fall out of my ear. But although it has some handsfree functions, it doesn't do as much as my cheapo unit from ASDA. The Asda one allows me to use voice tags when I depress the button on the headset, but when I do the same on the WEP210 it instantly does a last number redial. Am I doing something stupid?

Thanks

Mike
[P3300, MDA Compact III  Accessories] Samson711:
Not all BT Headsets have the same funtions or same button functions. What does the manual say? My Samsung BT Headset does not give me the possibility to use Voice Dial, although i don't know which one i possess ;)
[P3300, MDA Compact III  Accessories] mikesands:
the manual is poor but it definitely makes reference to voice dialling if the phone supports it - which it does as it's a XDA orbit

Also I have discovered that this (Samsung) headset, does not switch itself off if I leave it in the car and walk off with my phone. In one way this is good as I don't have to switch it on again when I get back in, but it makes me wonder how often I am going to have to recharge it.

Thanks

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] digger16309:
I checked this thread first, but it's old and was dominated by WiFi discussion.

I've had this problem in various forms going back to at least OOS 3.1.3 (I think).

I'm in the US on AT&T. I'm currently on OOS 3.1.6 (better battery life for me), stock kernel, rooted, XPosed: (Flat Style Bar Indicators, Flat Style Colored Bars, Gravity Box, Settings Editor) Greenify. I'm not using any over-aggressive greenify options.

I have frozen several system apps aligned to Freedom OS.

NFC is turned off/frozen.

When I stream music via WiFi through BT, to a speaker or headphones, I have no issues at all.

When I stream music via Cell Data (AT&T LTE) to my 2013 Toyota truck, I get what seems like random "skips" in the BT stream. This happens with Spotify, I Heart Radio, and GPS Nav apps. I don't know for certain, but sometimes it's as if the skip happens when I change cell towers. It will also happen if the screen is dark and I double-tap to wake.

Once it starts, it doesn't stop, and "skips" about every 8-10 seconds unless I change the input to something else. Going back to BT, sometimes it's fixed until the next cell tower switch. Sometimes killing the app and wiping it from memory fixes it. Sometimes changing the APN fixes it. Sometimes clearing Dalvik/Cache fixes it for a day or so.

I've erased the phone from my truck several times and re-paired it.

I've changed the OS version multiple times (dirty flash).

I'd prefer to stick with OOS but, I can't get this sorted out.

Two questions:

1) Is there any BT setting or Cell setting I can manually adjust to counteract this effect?

2) If not, I know there are ROMs with updated modems/radios. Would that help, and if so, which ones should I try?

I am finally pulling the trigger on getting a Redmi Note 3 Pro/Snapdragon 3GB/32GB

But there is really one thing that's stopping me at the moment...

I saw earlier posts stating that the Dark Grey/Black variant has a yellowish tint screen and that they use a crappy/old screen on the Dark Grey variant:http://en.miui.com/thread-264272-1-1.html

and Gold variant didn't have any of this problem they said and I even saw post saying that the Gold Variant has the best screen out of three colors. This is really bad news for me since I especially I want the Dark Grey one.

Can anyone confirm if this true or not? But if it is really the case, I guess I might go with the Gold one since I really want this phone :rolleyes:

Here Moto Z is over priced same goes to Lenovo p2 plus Lenovo and build quality pls Nova is the iPhone 6s of Android if we put them side by side we will find alot of similarities plus if you like Nexus 6P Nova is Nexus 6P lite

Plus paying for gimik such as Moto mods that u will use maximum 2-3 time's and pay extra Nova is not just mid range device but upper mid range so it's one Step under the new flagship's but better in last year once the mid range devices even today are with 1.5 to 2 GB RAM same as the last year aka see the Samsung LG HTC and etc you will see no more than SD615 in good cases Sd620 or equivalent SoC

I was hiking the slot canyon in Anza yesterday and when I finally got back to a restaurant, I realized the phone , which I'd never enabled anything in particular on, had counted all my steps and several other things.

Also: I meant to mention this but forgot. The camera works great for me, but that isn't good enough for the Honor 8.

Is there a way to turn off all this irritating crap? Thanks again.
