Does this make sense to anyone?

I installed G-Alarm (latest version) and it kept crashing randomly (although the program worked and saved settings). I got tired of it crashing so I uninstalled it from my phone and installed an older version 1.5.1, it went through the install fine and asked me to save settings and reboot, upon rebooting the phone I'm greeted with the dreaded "Your device cannot boot so press volume up and it will erase all your information".
Ugh, WTF. How can uninstalling an application from my phone cause it to not boot?

I can't believe the lack of responses people get in their threads on this forum.

Do not complain
Have patience, as everybody has a life out there!
I would try another version of the app, if not re flash another ROM and try installing.

Lol, and the only reply I got was an off-topic one from someone telling me not to complain because other people have lives. I guess I'm used to forums that reply because they have answers to the questions.
I'll just browse this forum instead of asking questions, because it seems like many users don't get replied and that is including me.
so I'll just be the general user and download roms and stfu.
It'll work

Your question "Ugh, WTF. How can uninstalling an application from my phone cause it to not boot?" is a legitimate rhetorical one. It's not suppose to happen, but sometimes it does. It happened to me when I tried to uninstall a particular build of Opera Mobile 9.7 recently. Nobody can explain it. That's why you're not getting a response.

And you're sure you've provided all the information needed for us to answer your question
You did not mention anything, not the ROM you are using, no other programs, if .NET is installed and so on.
I simply can tell you that I never had such a problem with GAlarm as long as I am using it (must be a year now).

[HELP] Annoying Time Zone Settings after each Reboot!

Hello!
I did searches on this forum but seems like I'm the only one with this problem:
After each reboot, the "Time Zone Setting" pops up to choose a zone! I forgot my data cable at home, so I can't post a screenshot.
I got "My Location" activated. My software version can be found in my signature.
Anyone got any idea how to fix it????

Hi i have the nexus 7 and have done nothing to is ant any form (Stock) but for some reason the Development menu has gone from settings? Is anyone able to help or have any idea's that could help? iv done a factory reset and that didnt help

Have you tried googling it?
Hint hint "how to enable developer options in 4.2"
Also next time post questions in the questions and answers. Better yet SEARCH before you post, that is after all part of the forum rules.

have you tried posting your question in q&a since you arent developing anything? this is a development forum. anyways, go to about tablet, tap the build number 7 times in a row. your developer options will reappear. you could have saved yourself some trouble factory resetting if you just searched.

Hilarious but some people come here for informed help mid panic. I am of the mindset to find the answer myself first and then ask like most but I also know the panic feeling.
Sent from my Nexus 7 usi...oh god! What happened? All I did was root!!

I had the same problem and almost panicked myself. All you have to do is open settings and push "about phone". Then hit the "build version" button 7 times and you will have developer status. I saw it on this site but can't remember where. Good luck and happy hacking!

[Solved] Youtube server error - fix?

Hey everyone! I've just had my N7 for two days now and am diggin everything about it. It's running 4.2.1, rooted, stock, with Franco's latest nightly kernel, and the nexus louder audio mod by Misledz, just to give a background. I'm having a tiny issue though with Youtube, where it doesn't play any videos, and it says that "there was a problem playing the video, due to a network error. Tap to retry". I've gone ahead and cleared both the cache and data, and the issue is still persistent. I also uninstalled the app, and did a fresh install, but no bueno. Does anyone know what the issue could be, and could you please point me in the direction as to how I can fix it? Thanks in advance for the help!

There is probably no need for yet another thread on this; you should use the forum search capability.
For instance, try searching for "Youtube" in just the titles of posts, and display the results as Topics (rather than posts). If you did that you would have found all of these threads, and you would have been on-topic to just read and then contribute to those discussions.

OK, you get the idea. As you were.
You may want to try running the same Youtube .apk on the stock ROM. That will immediately tell you whether it is the app, your hardware, or your WiFi network which is the source of the trouble - or perhaps the kernel or ROM you are using.

Noted. Thx!
Edit: after scanning through the links above, the most common thing that kept coming up was the HD playback. So after I toggled the HD off, Youtube starts to play the content in SD. So I wonder what the issue is with the HD setting/streaming on the N7? Thx for pointing me in the right direction though.

[Q] [d801] PA LATEST BUILDS 12/27 & 12/31

Hey, @houstonn! Everyone,
First, I've really wanted to thank you for the longest for all the work you've put in for for all LGG2 variants. I've been with you from the beginning, the quiet kid at the back of the class without the ten notches to do anything other than click Thanks! But it's been awesome. Even getting myself out of some sticky situations alone has tested my metal. It's a good thing I like to read.
K. More adulation later. Just have wanted to make note of something that I haven't ever seen throughout the PA thread concerning the d801 from the 12/24 build to present working 12/31. Don't wanna bring you more headaches after reading about v.01/03, but I'm hoping you or someone can verify an issue I've been experiencing on the three latest builds.
I can clean install PA using TWRP 2.6.3.4 Do so always as with the 2day 12/27 skin I was wearing until dirty flashing the 12/31 just now. Upon initial boot everything is spot on. I'll have already flashed my backup apps post gapps and be setting up, Google Now and offline voice recognition downloaed then set to auto update. Google Now will work hands free for a good while so I can't be exact about the interval between it working and losing the prompt in the Search box, which in turn leads to SMS fails in both stock messaging and Hangouts. I still receive SMS via both apps, but my sends fail every time after something 'breaks'.
I did notice something yesterday while running forensics. I switched Hangouts to batch MMS mode and texted to one party and pinged myself as well. So Hangouts/Messaging only works in MMS mode for me. I've yet to read this anywhere in the novel that is your thread and I do read, so correct me if this has been addressed. I checked App Ops and found the SMS send set to off in Stock Messaging but everything on in Hangouts, but figured that had to be the cause or Hangouts' doing by default since both apps must use the same broadcast intent, thus why both don't audibly run at once. It's really the only problem I have but it seemed strangely obscure enough to mention. I can't think of a possible cause or a way to track it other than running a log. Fall short of doing so cuz I have another phone running custom KK 4.4.2 and I have no problems messaging with it. As for Google Now and voice Recog, when I go back into language settings, my alternate languages will have disappeared until I toggle back and forth between 'when to update' and 'available to DL languages'. By then, English UK (US), French & Spanish have repopulated the downloaded field, yet hands free voice recog fails.
Otherwise, no other errors. I freakin love this ROM and with UV/OC, I'm maxing out some lengthy battery life upwards of 14 hours with screen on for 8 out of the whole! Yea, I'm on it feverishly but who can blame me. It's wicked smooth and you're awesome!!!
Thanks heaps!

I'm sorry, if it is a problem having my post here under the labeled Q&A thread for my device, I understand if you need to move it. As I really had a minute issue and was unable to post directly to the PA forum at the time, searched and evidently missed the thread you mentioned, I saw no problem in posting under the General device specific Q&A. Thanks for the correction. I'll be more thorough in searching next time.
