Hi there.
I have brought a Google Glass, but it does not connect to the Wi-fi or my mobile phone via bluetooth. So I download a new firmware from Google and flashed, but after that, the Glass reboot and keep on the first screen showed a GLASS on it.
Can I repair it? Thanks.

Might help if you can expand on your question, which model of Glass and which version of the software was on there and which version have you tried to flash? What app or apps did you use to flash Glass?
No precise question - no precise answer possible
It would be a good idea to mention the specific type of your device.

Been searching for a while and can't find anything in the forums, or any apps. Thought I would post it here to see if any of the wizards knew of something that might work.
I carry my Note 1 (GT-N7000 international version) without any case in my trouser pocket (screen towards my leg) with nothing else in the pocket. It's the way I like it and works fine for me. But, occasionally the home button will be accidentally pressed. Although it eventually turns itself off, I was looking for an app that would modify the home button so that it only works on a long press (I never use the task manager anyway).
My phone is not rooted and is still running the original 2.3.6 (never got any software update notification).
Has anybody heard of any app (or setting?) that would allow me to do this?
Thanks
I guess you can do it without getting rooted
But you can use apps that work with proximity sensor..Try this one

It never occurred to me to look for proximity sensor apps -- I just kept searching for home button apps.
It works. If the home button is pushed, it almost immediately shuts itself off.
I knew there was a wizard out there.
Thanks.

Just curious that you never got any software update notification. May b "Auto update" & "Push message" under "Settings>About Phone>Software update" are disabled? Try connecting ur phone to ur PC/Laptop through Kies..AFAIK, you should be able to update to ICS..sorry for concentrating on your 2nd issue rather than the main one..

Thanks for responding! Both Auto Update and Push Message are checked. About once I week I manually check for an update, but it says that no update is available.
I can connect via Kies, but I see nothing in Kies about updating the OS.
By the way, this is actually a UK phone that I've been using in the U.S. I don't know if that would make any difference. Everything works fine.
Any help would be appreciated. I would like to upgrade to ICS.
Best regards

Even though u live in the US,you should get all the updates of the UK
Its not required to be in the same country where you bought the phone to get the software update
If you dont get it through ota,you can dowmload the ics rom and flash it through pc odin
You can find all stock roms here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Download either US or UK rom and flash it through pc odin
There are also instructions and screenshots of flashing a rom in the above link
And if you flash ics,do not do any wipes with stock kernel,stock ics kernels are not safe to wipe and may lead to a brick.First root your phone and flash a safe kernel
Thanks to shyamub4u and rajsekhar.300!
Your comments made me start researching Kies, and I found out I was using only Kies Air. I downloaded Kies, connected my Note via cable, and the ICS update appeared. It installed fine. So I got two issues resolved in one post.
Bravo.
Hi,
I broke the screen of my samsung note a while back. The glass is okay, it is the inner screen which is showing a little crack when looked at from an angle. The day it broke i was able to see the screen but after 1 day the screen has become completely black. I am not in my home country and hence can not get the screen repaired, and need some of the files from phone really badly. The trouble is I can not unlock the phone, as i am not sure of what is happening on screen.
I tried to recover data but the phone is locked. If i can either turn on the wifi or 3G of my device by some way ( then I can excess the samsungdive application and unlock my phone) or if I can bypass the pattern somehow or can enter it via pc ( like in know there exist some screen monitoring applications for android 2.0 and below) i can enter inside the phone. I have been trying a lot of stuff and I dnt want to blindly reset my phone ( i think if i reset it I should be able to unlock it). Is there any other option anyone can suggest me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I do not think you can unlock via samsungdive if your phone is not connected to internet. Since my phone is not connected to internet i can not do that via samsungdive.
Thanks

Sorry for not giving full information in last post.
When I connect the phone via usb. It comes as a media device in pc. But when i try to import files or anything it shows nothing available. Also in Samsung kies it comes up as connected but locked. It tells to unlock the device.

I just had the jelly bean update on note. So I am running the default Rom and Kernel ( which should be there after official update). Though I am not that aware about this information.

wasnt your data (2G or 3G) already on? if the data was already on and if you restart the computer it still remains on, moreover there is no harm in trying to unlock from samsungdive. i have lot of ideas coming to my mind but dont know if they would make any sense or may be there is a simple way to do it but i cant think of it.
hi guys! i'm a new poster here so please be nice. i hope im posting in the right area here. my Xperia z has just had an argument with my heel and lost graciously. my problem is that although the phone still works i cant unlock it to save all my data on account of the screen lock. does anyone know of any ways around the screen lock to retrieve all my photos and music etc.?
cheers in advance guys

connect your phone to your computer via usb cable and copy the data
So basically I'd stepped on my phone and cracked the gorilla glass and damaged the lcd as well as its touch sensitive capabilities. The device powers on fine but is no longer interactive therefore disabling me from actually entering in my numeric security code. I can't access it as mass storage until the screen is unlocked. Device shows as "Xperia z" portable device in windows explorer but opening the drive shows an empty location.. Nothing to copy
Try removing your SIM. this will also disable pin

I don't know how you have your storage set up but most of it could well be on your SD card, take it out and check.

Hi guys,
I bought a Sony Xperia Z1, after a week I wanted to try the NFC to share some photos but just doesn't work. I've seen a lot of post around the Sony forum but there's no solution to the problem. I have the latest android update (.108). Not rooted or anything like that (I don't know how to do that stuff lmao)
So, do you know to fix this? HELP, is there a way to fix it without opening the phone?
I'm from Venezuela and I bought it from Amazon.com, btw sorry for my english, I'm still learning.
Make sure you have enabled android beam in options. The other device that will receive the file also have to use android beam or something similar.
If u want to send a single file then open it in album on full screen and then stick the devices together.
On a side note - NFC is useless for sending files. The actual file transfer goes over Bluetooth so all it does is just pairing the devices for you. Not worth the hassle imo...
What really grind my gears is why the hell aren't files being sent over WiFi direct... That would send the files MUCH faster and would make NFC useful for sending a lot of data. At this point? Don't even bother if it's just a test.
If you really want to try then open some page in chrome on your device and stick it to another. It should also send the website adress to the other device.
Thank you, I have done everything, but i kept searching and I came to the conclusion that is a hardware issue, I know is not a big deal but why would I want a broken phone? What if there's another broken thing or if is about to break?
I'll stick to this one for a few to see how it goes. Anyway i'll try to sell it so I can buy the z2 or wait until the z3 is released.
Thank you again, we learn something new everyday.. btw I use the wi-fi conection with my pc using media go on the pc companion and it works ok.
Are you sure you don't have a case that's in the way?
A friend of mine couldn't get NFC to work either, until she took her phone out of the hard plastic case.

I wanted to take backup but dont know what tool can help me to do it. Please can someone help me to get my data backed to PC.
BTW what would be cost of new display.
Screen Broken - Cant Use - How do I export data?
What an amazing mobile the ROG 2 is.
No complaints really. Though I did drop it and the screen is broken so I am sending it off for a repair (if possible).
I cant use the screen at all, and they told me that the data needs to be wiped before its sent (or they will wipe it anyway).
Any idea how to get data off it, like contacts etc without using the screen?
Thank you all.
Your contacts should sync to your Google account. Go to contacts.google.com to verify they have already synced.

Use an otg dongle and connect a mouse to the phone, you should be able to click like touch.

I think I am right in assuming that i need to give permission on my ROG to allow screen mirroring on a monitor. But of course I cant do that as I dont have access to the screen.
Am I right or is there a workaround?
Thanks

If you have allowed adb before, you can use adb pull command to copy files to a computer.
Changing the screen wont require data reset, I dont know why they are insisting on wiping the data!
you can also try this and see if it works: connect the phone to a pc and when the phone asks for permission, have a mouse connected to the phone and click the place that the allow button is most probably is.(it's on bottom right corner about a centimeter up and left) if you're set to English that is.
but you have to be able to unlock the screen before that somehow. maybe the fingerprint still works?
And my last option would be to get the screen replacement yourself and do it yourself if the data really matters to you. getting the broken screen off the phone shouldnt be much of problem because it's already broken so what could go wrong right?
and you will just have to apply the new screen with care and proper glue that you can get from a phone shop.
Sure you have fixed by now but incase or if anyone else lands here, You can use USB C TO HDMI (Cable,dongle,etc) and hook it to computer screen,TV. I had adapter and hooked a mouse to navigate. Though very poorly, I could still use touch screen
