[Q] Phone Stuck On Setup Screen; Tried Resetting & Cache Wipe topic

I just used Kies to come out of a horribly persistent bootloop. When I turn it on, though, it stays at the setup screen. Where you're asked to select your language and all that.

I can rotate the screen for a couple of seconds, and/or use my rocker to adjust the volume and see it on the screen, and can see some messages from my carrier, but can't select anything. Then it freezes completely, in whatever orientation and with the volume bar.

I've taken the battery out and put it back in, factory reset and deleted cache. It still turns on and gets stuck. I don't know what to do.

Screen casting help topic

I have a China miracast adapter and it actually works great in dlna mode. When I try and connect in miracast mode. It constantly connects and disconnects. I've tried 20 or so different apps from play store and nothing. Now the kicker is my daughters cheap kocaso tablet with 4.4.2 connects with nothing more that the cast screen button n display settings. Anyone else have issues with this phone connecting? Or suggestions? I'm on xtrasmooth ROM currently fully updated. I have also flashed 5-6 others with no avail.

Thanks

Hi,

I just followed this guide and installed lollipop successfully on my XT1032 non-GPE.

But the screen flickers quite a lot, I have to turn it off and then back on. Is it the same with everyone? a general issue or ROm specific? The faq in that thread addresses screen flickering and mentions it as kitkat bootloader thing.

Someone please confirm.

5 Best Android lock screen apps P 1/2 topic

Android smartphones allow you to customize nearly everything to fit individual needs and preferences. This includes the lock screen too. Today we’ll show the best Android lock screen replacement apps that have impressive designs and valuable features that will have you getting more out of your lock screen.


Lock screen apps offer an easy way to personalize your Android phone or tablet.

1. Echo Notification Lockscreen

If you're looking for a lightweight app that provides all the essentials right from the get-go, then Echo Notification Lockscreen will likely float your boat. The app displays messages, missed calls and other types of notifications straight from the lock screen, which you can then open by tapping, or dismiss by swiping to the left. Two cool things about the app: you get a camera shortcut to snap some quick photos and it won’t suck your battery dry either. And Echo Notification is also free!


Echo Notification Lockscreen provides you with messages and missed calls on your lock screen.

2. Cover - the smart lock screen

Cover brings context-based information to the lock screen, meaning the right content and settings at the right time. This is reminiscent of Google Now and for the most part works quite similarly. By entering your home address and workplace, the lock screen will know when to switch between private and work mode. Depending on the situation, it shows matching apps as shortcuts. This works because the launcher is capable of learning and adapts to particular usage patterns. In addition to being able to automatically switch between settings and shortcuts, Cover also offers simplified access to recently used apps by swiping downwards from the top screen border.

Cover is in open beta phase and can be downloaded for free from the Google Play Store. We already tested the lock screen two months ago and found that even then it made a very good and well-made impression.


Cover offers context-based apps on your Android lock screen to match your habits.

3. Ubuntu Lockscreen

There had been talks about a mobile operating system from Ubuntu called Ubuntu Touch, but it never really caught on. If you still want at least a tiny hint of Ubuntu on your smartphone, you can install the Ubuntu Lockscreen. It has a ring menu that will display notifications, and by swiping from top to bottom, you’ll see date, time and battery status.

Swiping from right to left presents shortcuts to apps which can be set up by the user individually beforehand. On request, a music player can be displayed on the lock screen, since the security options are currently only a password or PIN. So, even when swiping from left to right, the display will remain unlocked. The Ubuntu Lockscreen can be downloaded from the Google Play Store and is free.

4. UnlockYourBrain - vocabulary and math training

On average, we’ll look at our smartphones about 80 times a day. Wouldn’t it make sense to combine these almost subconscious compulsions with something meaningful? UnlockYourBrain is a lockscreen alternative made to keep your brain fit by having you solve math problems and do some vocabulary training.

The vocabulary or math exercises loaded onto the lock screen can naturally be skipped in case you get stumped. The potential found in this lock screen is great though. Repetition is the mother of retention and by constantly viewing vocabulary and calculation methods, this will slowly but surely start to sink in, keeping your brain from turning into mush.

UnlockYourBrain is free and ad-supported, available in the Google Play Store. The premium version can be bought as in-app purchases in various packages.


UnlockYourBrain makes you smarter all while unlocking your phone.

5. DashClock widget

The easiest and most popular way to set up a lock screen is with the use of widgets. One of the most popular in this genre is DashClock Widget because it not only supports extensions but is also be extensively customizable. The widget, which is displayed next to the clock, can be a calendar, appointments, unread messages or when using supported apps, the weather for example.

DashClock Widget can be downloaded for free in the Google Play Store. Setting up and searching for matching extensions can be fun but could also take some time to complete thanks to a huge array of extensions to choose from. You can take a look at an overview in the Play Store by simply searching for the term "DashClock".

Touch Screen Issues topic

I've started to have touch screen issues the past few days.

Any idea what may cause it?

Sometimes, when I touch the screen, say in settings, I touch one item, but a different item is selected somewhere randomly on the screen.

Happens in TWRP as well. If I select options to wipe, it will select others, and then it doesn't swipe over to execute the action.

[Q] Phone working, but showing nothing on screen topic

Hello there.

I have a brand new XT 1068 (two month of use). It is as received from the shop (no root or anything).

Was using normally, and suddenly began to fail. First, it didn't responded when trying to use pattern unblocking. Then the screen turned black. Tried to reset pressing the power button for 10 seconds, but the screen just lights a bit (backlit?), buzzes and nothing else.

The phone can received calls, messages, and even be controlled remotely trough Google's Android Device Manager. Touch screem seems to work, as i can answer calls by sliding center to right.

Don't know what to do. Tried the "120 seconds pressing the power button", with no success. Maybe I should try "Erase" though Google's Android Device Manager?

Thanks in advance

How to change picture of "Drag to unlock your nook" screen that shows after boot? topic

How to change picture of "Drag to unlock your nook" screen that shows after boot, for NSTG with firmware 1.2.1 ?

This screen shows the photo of the park pines tree, and I want to change it but don't know where it needs to be changed.

I thought it was /system/media/screensaver/default.png as this was the same, but having changed that, I'm still seeing the tree pic.

[Q] Sero 7 Pro stuck Smart screen topic

I've talked to Hisense support and they suggested a factory reset, which I did several times to no avail. I've never rooted any phone. This tablet will not boot past the SMART screen. I can get into the factory reset/RECOVERY screen. I have the tablet and an 8gb microSD card at my disposal to try to get this thing going again. I'd like to take it back to out-of-the-box/factory OS/ROM, but I really am not sure where to start. I've read through some of the posts, but most of them mention going into the Settings and turning on Development/Debugging. Mine will not boot, so I can't go there (although it may have been turned on before it booted). I'm not at all opposed to putting some other "standard" ROM on it. It belongs to my wife and she uses it for the typical stuff - browsing, email, Pinterest, FB, Instagram, text messaging, etc.

Where do I start?

Thanks in advance to any replies/help.

[Q] Lock Screen topic

Hello guys, i just got a s4 mini clone and was busy uninstalling system apps, i mistakenly uninstalled the lock screen apk of life companion and now when my phone locks, i cant unlock. I got a way around it though, i wiped it from recovery and it restarted without locking, i then went into settings and disable auto lock from security not from Lock Screen where i can edit its full settings, i then downloaded another lock app from play-store which i currently use to lock my phone now. I just need someone to gimme the default apk so i can put it back in the system/app folder so it automatically re-installs after a wipe. Thanks in advance

Lollypop - How to turn off lock screen notifications topic

Just installed Lollypop on my new M8. I can't find a way if turning off notifications on the lock screen but leaving them working on the notification bar.

The help says this.

"Lock screen notifications
Choose the types of notifications to show or hide on the lock screen. Go to Settings, and then tapSecurity.Under*Lock screen, tapNotification settings.Choose whether to show or hide notifications such as missed calls and text messages. "

But on mine, there is no "Notifications" under Lock Screen, just "Incoming Phone Calls". Has my install gone wrong? Do others have the correct menu item? Is there another way of turning off lock screen notifications?

Thanks.
