[Q] Manually drain battery

$
0
0
Will manually draining (letting the tablet run until the battery is completely exhausted) a tablet's battery be sufficient to wipe it's memory/settings to break it out of a 'factory reset' loop or would I have to crack the case and detach the internal battery?

Am really hoping to avoid having to do the latter 'cuz I don't have a soldering iron any longer...

Thanks in advance, Vern

[Q] Recover files from internal memory in recovery mode

Greetings,

I'm looking for help in the following scenario: some days ago I found that my Galaxy Note had rebooted, and got stuck at the Samsung logo. The phone has the stock rom, it is not rooted and is running Jellybean.
Recovering from this situation hasn't been possible. I tried:
- pulling the battery
- rebooting from recovery mode
- wiping cache partition.

I haven't tried a factory reset because the problem appeared as I was on vacation and there are some some photos I'd like to recover.

Taking this also as a learning experience, I have read several documents on recovery mode, adb, etc. So far I have managed to access via ADB. I could successfully run adb pull, however it seems not all data came through.
I don't have /mnt visible, no DCIM folder, and sdcard or sdcard1 have no contents. I've attached the screenshot of the Android Device Monitor.

For example, adb pull /sdcard returns 0 files.

I think maybe something is not properly mounted...? I tried to search similar issues it's not clear to me how to proceed. Anyway this is the output of 'mount' in case is helps:
shell@android:/dev $ mount
mount
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
tmpfs /dev tmpfs rw,nosuid,relatime,mode=755 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,relatime,mode=600 0 0
proc /proc proc rw,relatime 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw,relatime 0 0
/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system ext4 rw,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0


Thank you in advance for your help!

How can I install Google Play Services/Google Play Store on a phone with just AOSP?

$
0
0
I need to pair a watch with a phone that has just AOSP flashed on it and so I'm trying to figure out if/how I can install Google Play Services/Google Play Store onto the phone. (In order to pair the watch with the phone I need to install the Android Wear App, but I can't do that if the phone doesn't have Google Play Store/Google Play Services installed).

My phone is a Nexus 5 with the Lollipop AOSP installed, so I just tried installing the GSP apks using adb but I keep getting error messages that GPS has stopped running.

I'm an iOS developer and new to Android and have been searching for days how to solve my problem without success, so I'd be grateful if somebody could help me with the following questions:

1) If I get Google Play Services and Google Play Store apks from somewhere like apkmirror.com and install them will I be able to access the Android Wear app on Google play and download/install/run it?

2) If not then if I get the Android Wear app itself from somewhere like apkmirror.com and install it along with GPS will the Android Wear app run?

3) When I try to install GSP why do I get the error messages about it stopping? Are there other dependent components I need to also install to make it run?

4) Can I install it using adb or do I have to install it using a recovery? If so, then why does a recovery have to be used to install it, whats the difference between installing via a recovery and installing via adb?

Thanks for any insight, I'm getting nowhere and getting frustrated trying to work all this out.

[Q] Power on mytab problem

A friendly guy (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2047451) here reccomended I post this here, so: here's my problem.
Hello, it's me again, Omnitrixer. I recently (2-3 months ago) bought a new Android device, myTab MT72A. Everything worked fine, I loved the UI, the free space, graphics, everything! A week ago, I turned it off while I was away. When I got back home, I tried to turn it on but: it wouldn't power on, no matter what. Yes, I tried charging it, pressing every button etc. etc. but nope. Just wouldn't turn on. It wasn't even on the bootloop screen. Should I send it to the manufacturer and hopefully get a new one? Or just buy another one? Reccomendations and advice welcome. Thank you. :)

[Help] LG Optimus Exceed 2 (VS450PP) no WiFi after TowelRoot

Hey all,

I have an urgent issue, I'm hoping that someone is able to assist with...

The wife's cousin lives in another state and is emailing me freaking out... (so I don't have direct access to the device).
She has a LG Optimus Exceed 2 (VS450PP) that was working perfectly. She just ran TowelRoot on it to root the phone. Upon rebooting, it appears to have root, but WiFi no longer functions... The way it sounds... it is like you can select to enable wifi, but it just sits there and churns and never actually initializes (so, it never attempts to display any wifi networks).

I've tried doing some Google searches and so far I'm coming up empty handed... and I don't see a listing for the device on XDA. Does anyone have any incite on how to fix this issue? or is there a Custom Recovery and/or Custom/Stock ROM that may fix this? ...any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] Can't install apps because of lack of space? Really?

$

OK, here's the annoying thing; I have an T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II ( SGH-T989) running Android 4.1.2.
I have 2 GB main memory (but only 223MB free) , 9GB "USB memory" and a 32 GB SD card.
I can no longer install any apps as the device tells me it's run out of space.
I've moved all apps that I can to the SD card already.
Is there a way to make the default partition larger than 2GB?
Or is there a different solution to the problem?

[Q] Help Root NX700QC

Just got my new toy, a wallyworld 1hour guarantee tablet. Was supposed to be an 8gb rca tab, but i ended up with a Nextbook 7 16gb. I cant seem to find any info on the actual model i have for a way to root it, lots of stuff about the older model though.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2589015

That thread for example talks about the dual core version and i have a quad core 4.4.2 version. I cant figure out why with 16gb they only give me 1gb for app storage and i wanted to root so i could move things to the external/internal sd among other things like titanium backup etc.

on that note, is there any way to modify the partition and increase app storage to 2gb or something? or is that in custom rom type scenario?

[HELP] [BRICKED] HTC Sensation XE

$

I've seen many posts about this but none of them actually has a solution that worked for me.

I have a Sensation XE, I don't know the cause of the problem exactly, but I had it on recovery and it discharged (deep discharge).
Now whenever I try to turn it on, the red led on the left top corner turns on, sometimes the device vibrates, but the screen stays off.
I tried to go into bootloader but with no luck, same for recovery.
The charging orange led does light up when the device is plugged in, and I've checked the battery, it's functional. I even tried another battery just to make sure.
I tried to charge it overnight, and I tried to charge the battery on it's own, with no luck.
One thing I found right before I post this is charging the phone with the battery out!
Now I don't know how that might help as the device doesn't boot with no battery, but I tried it anyways just to make sure I haven't left anything to chance, and it didn't work.
This thread might come in handy for other people with the same situation.

Windows 7 recognizes the device when plugged in as "Android ADB Interface" but when I use "adb devices" it doesn't show anything.

I tried the Sensation Unbricking Project, the terminal always said "Bricked device found on." but it doesn't give me the next line "sdX", I think it doesn't recognize the device.
In the video when the device is plugged in, Ubuntu immediately recognizes it and it even opens up the device's files, that does not happen with my device.

I don't remember exactly my bootloader information, but I think my HBOOT version is 1.27, not sure about that.
I have bootloader unlocked with S-ON, and I had a custom ROM running for over 3 months when all this happened.

I hope you have all the info you need to help me, if not just ask me, any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I am trying to get a keyboard working on my device. It requires that I activate accessibility services for it. When I go the the setting to turn it on, I get the dialog box asking me to "ok" or "cancel" the service. The ok button is inactive.

The same thing happens when I try to authorize accessibiity services for Tasker.

How do I manage this?

Best Android Podcasting Application?

$

Coming back to Android, from an iPhone using the stock iTunes podcasting app, I've been sorely disappointed in the Android podcasting experience. If Apple does one thing well it's podcasting and it feels like magic. I've got about 15-20 feeds I regularly listen to.

Do you guys have a pick for the best pocasting application on Android? Is that particular application open source and available on F-Droid?
