how good is google restore after factory reset? topic

I've tried the built-in google restore after a factory reset and nothing really happened. No apps were restored not even the system settings.

My question is ,is this normal and if not what would be restored as far as system/user app/data goes.

Thanks!

Connection problems after ROM change topic

I recently updated my ROM from EchoeRom 4.4.2 to EchoeRom 5.0 on my Galaxy Note 3, and everything works flawlessly, except the connection to my Gear S.
When I try to connect, I get a message that I have to reset my Gear S to factory settings before I can connect. (See attached image)
Is it supposed to do this, or is there a way that I don't have to reset my Gear S to connect?

Any help would be much appreciated.

[Q] Keyboard Doesn't Close After Every Text topic

I recently face a keyboard issue that anytime i insert several emoji on Whatsapp or write a text, send it and press the home button or back button, the keyboard doesnt go away and stays at the screen for like 60 seconds, which doesnt let me use the other stuff like if i returned to the home screen i lose the bottom half untill the keyboard finally goes away. I already tried factory reset, reinstall Xperia Keyboard's updates and none of them didn't work. But other keyboards like SwiftKey doesnt do this. Could anyone help me about this situation? I will be very glad if i find anyone who can fix this :)

New firmware updates do not show up after locale change topic

Hello, I bought my GNote PRO 12.2 LTE in Hong Kong. Then, moved to Japan in mid-September. I changed the locale to Japanese. Since then, from this forum, it seems that there has been 1 or 2 firmware update. However, I have not received such notification. Even I manually went to settings to check if there is any new firmware update, the device reports that I got the latest firmware. Now I am travelling Hong Kong. Again, after manually checking for possible firmware upgrade, it says no. Have I messed up the system so that no more firmware upgrade is detected? The one I got is:

SM-P905

[Q] Problem with widget restart after exiting app. topic

Hi.

just got a new LG g3, ( auro 2Gb version).
and mostly it`s working really good. But comming from a old Note 2, i`m a little dissapointed in how "laggy" it is in some parts..

When i get the different apps up and running it`s seamless, and launching them is about the same speed as the old note 2.

Screen responce is also good,
But the problem is when exiting a app ( facebook,game,sms or any other app that stays open for more than 2 min. )
It seems like it is closing the "background" apps like widgets and the launcher in general, so when i exit, the launcher is empty for about 2-5 sec ( it acts just as when you restart your phone, it just takes a few sec for all apps\widgets to start)
this only happens if i`m using a app for a few min, if i just go into one and exit within a shirt time it acts normal. ( with my note 2, if i pressed the home butten, it was back into the launcher within 1 sec with the launcher screen fully populated. )

Is this something others are seeing to? I might not be used to the phone yet, but my old note 2 seems more "seamless" in user interface...= better software. )

[Q] HTC One X Software faullt after uninstalling cyanogen topic

Hello there, I am asking here because I was unable to find a helpful set of resources to fix my problem.
How the problem(s) started:
It all began when I thought it was a good idea to unlock and install a cyanogen-mod stable release for endeavoru. After finishing the side-load for installing it, I rebooted the phone and it was stuck on the cyanogen-mod loading screen.
I flashed it with the stock androidrevolution rom, and thus ran into some errors.
My sort of recovery:
After initializing the side-load of the HTC stock rom, it got to about 67% done, gave an error and rebooted the phone. After the phone booted up, it seemed fine until I slid to unlock the screen, and it showed the green HTC text and wouldn't go to the android home screen.
After searching here, I found that

Code:

---

fastboot clear cache

---

seemed to fix it, so my "story" continues from there.
The actual problem/errors themselves:
When going into the wifi/bluetooth/mobile-data or even trying to make a phone call, it gives a continues error. the bluetooth instantly switches off, after 20 seconds of turning wifi on it turns of again and when trying to make a phone call or send a text message it simply says "please make sure aeroplane mode is off" when it clearly is off.
Unfortunately i made a backup of the phone before installing cyanogen, but i think it may be deleted as i can not seem to open, let alone find, it on clockwork recovery.

Would anyone be able to help me with my predicament?
My phone specs are as follows:

some things to note in my case if you are able to help:
I'm a near complete noob when it comes to HTC Android.
My HTC Sync is not picking up my phone.
I would prefer if you could use layman's terms if you have a fix to my problem :D
Thank you in advance.

[Q] stuck at TWRP screen after wrong wipe topic

I made a terrible mistake by wiping in the RKC menu. Now I can't access to my tablet anymore (neither adb (no device) nor fastboot (waiting for device) commands work) I'm stuck at the TWRP logo screen. It flashes twice after a hard or soft reset.
With every search I didn't get any answer how to solve this.
Solutions by Buster (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2425581) and Matiosse (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2395644) didn't work
I had KitKat 4.4.4-CROMBi-kk-R1-Oct 1 , F2S, and TWRP 2.7.0.1 rooted and unlocked of course.
Any help is very appreciated.
Thanks, Henk-Jan.

Failed text messages appear only after phone restart topic

Hi all,

I run into an intermittent problem where I see some 'messages not sent' errors after restarting my phone. However, I clearly recall that the messages looked like they were sent fine when I had composed them and hit send.

I'm on T-Mobile if that makes any difference, using the Moto G LTE.

Any ideas if there's a way for me to catch these failed messages sooner rather than later? Perhaps I should use Hangouts to as my default Messaging app? Maybe Lollipop will improve this when it arrives in an OTA update? Anyone else have this problem too?

[Q] Restore Android after wiping no backup on sd avail. topic

Happy holidays,
I am having trouble to get my htc one m7 back to normal.

I did erase my android and internal sd card( not backup on sd card avail).
What does it mean - after rebooting my phone is stuck in HTC logo screen not booting.
It was unlocked/rooted in the first place - my plan to do a factory reset

Another issue is that my PC (win 7) does not recognize my HTC ( as storage unit ), I tried driver updates,diff cables and another PC same issue ( Android 1.0) so I am unable to copy/access the htc's sd card

What i can access/see/work with:
bootloader menu
TWRP

Once i reboot from TWRP menu, it says "no OS installed"
I could feed more details if needed.

I am desperately looking for advice. If anyone could share some thoughts, I'd be very thankful

( not a native english speaker excuse my language,)

I9505 [4.4.2] extreme lag after charging. mpdecision process 25% cpu usage. topic

I have the problem that my Galaxy S4 (rooted) becomes laggy or totally unresponsive after fully charging. If I only charge to around 85% and disconnect the charger there's no problem. I can do this several times over days and the phone works fine. But if the charge level reaches something around 90% or more (hard to check the exact number, but it does not have to be 100%) the phone starts to lag. Sometimes the phone locks up completely (pushing the power button a long time reboots it; I did not yet have to remove the battery), but most times it's just very unresponsive. Menu/back button hardly work (light up, but are mostly ignored), the home button most times triggers the task manager and does not go to the home screen.
If I can get as far as to start "OS Monitor", I can see a "/system/bin/mpdecision" process using up to 25% CPU (essentially hogging one core). Killing the process (a new mpdecision process, that uses below 1% CPU, restarts immediately) makes the phone alittle bit more responsive, but not back to normal. If I try to check information about the CPU cores OS Monitor hangs at "gathering information" about the cores (works without problems before the lag).
The only thing that fixes everything is a reboot of the phone.
I've tried a factory reset, even reflashed the firmware with odin, but that didn't change anything. What else can I do? Currently it's very annoying that I have to babysit the phone and reboot it as soon as it's fully charged.

[Q] LG G2(F320L) not booting after OTA with stock recovery with TWRP aboot topic

Hi,
First of all i committed a mistake of thinking that with TWRP aboot + stock Recovery i will be able to do OTA upgrade, which made my phone not booting, undetectable by computer and majorly not getting the LG Flash download mode by pressing any combination of keys., Stucks at LG logo.

Device: LG-G2(F320L)
KDZ stock: F320L21V_00.kdz
1. Flashed this kdz using LG Flash Tool 2014.
2. Flashed from F320L_AutoRec.apk, the images only aboot, and recovery.
3. From DorimanX project generated the boot.img with StockROM(F320L21V_00.kdz) version bootimage RAMDISK.
Everything was fine., till then.

After that, i got the OTA pop up., So, thought of installing OTA. As I had already faced the TWRP bootloop once and in some post i remember i read flashing OTA needs stock recovery image. Here is the place I commited the mistake. So, signed the stock recovery with aboot of TWRP using loki_flash. Accepted OTA. Thats it.

From then, no booting, no recovery, no adb, no fastboot, and unfortunately NO LG DOWNLOAD MODE also it goes.
When i try to go TWRP, it stucks up after the initial TWP message.
And pressing some key combination, the device goes to LG service mode, and showing the IMEI and some list of 3 options in korean which i dont understand. By pressing any of the option device reboots and stucks with LG logo.
Even my device is not shown up in the ubuntu, when i checked "dmesg".
Can anyone help to get the device into Either download mode or fixing the boot.

[Q] How to Disable notifications, even after app update? topic

Hi,

It's great that I can easily turn off notification of an app really easy, but for those apps that update every single day, which in turn, turns notifications back on.

There has to be an app, or root app, or even an Xposed module that can stop certain apps from pushing Notifications even after an update..?

Thank you!

vzw sch-i545 vrufnk1 biggie after knox removal topic

Hello to all...a search of the title of the post doesn't yield much so here I am. I did a bloatware removal that included Knox and I'm getting many forced closes: messages, phone, contacts... when phone closes it actually puts phone into airplane mode? (without symbol) for a second. Any attempt to boot to recovery or restore from titanium yields a soft brick. I like to avoid another full wipe to box fresh again if possible. Thanks for any input!

[Q] Shield 32gb only showing 11gb after factory image topic

I did a factory image reset of my Shield Tablet 32gb. Now I only have 11gb reported.
From reading the Nexus 32gb issues. It is with the userdata.img that all the factory images are for the 16gb model. I tried to delete userdata.img with fastboot -w and reload it userdata.img but I still only get 11GB of space instead of like 26gb or so.

Any thoughts on what I can do or where a 32gb userdata.img file is that I can try. Unless there is a factory image for 32gb on Nvidia's site that I have overlooked.

Things I have tried;
using erase command to remove all partitions and reload from factory image update v1.2.1
using the flash-all.bat file
