Can't disable NFC - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

SOLVED! THANK YOU XDA!
Hey all
So recently I turned my NFC settings on by ticking the NFC box on my SNS and the box just turned gray and I can't change it. I factory resetted the phone and rooted it and after restoring phone the box was unticked and good to go. Now I accidentally ticked the box again and can't untick it. I tried factory resetting, wiping cache, resetting it through CWM bootloader, nothing works to untick the damn box. Anyone got a solution to this?
Having this on decreases battery life by around 30% so it's really a problem.
Help please?

Did you try a different rom? Or maybe kernel?

You can use root explorer or equivalent to delete /system/app/nfc.apk
I remember having this problem on some early gingerbread ROMs

Worked, thank you so much!
Edit:
Now the option is just gone, is that normal?

I just had this same problem (couldn't disable NFC) using the Supernexus 2 ROM on a GSII... this solution fixed it. Thanks!

RemICS v1.6 mobile data issue

I have flashed with chinmay_7d's RemICS v1.6 . Yeak it looks cool, but I am facing an issue. When I turn on mobile data usage, the phone will turn off after some time (5-6 minutes) and it is not possible to turn on the phone again . It is needed to plug in it and turn on and then only it is working. In this condition, it is showing android is upgrading. There is no problem with using internet while plugged in. Anyone know how to fix this...? I like this ROM very much and so if it if fixed, then that will be cool.
are u coming from earlier versions of RemICS? followed all the installation steps?, go back to re-flash and tell us

Yes I am .Actually this issue was with 1.5.4 also. I have followed all the steps and cleared dalvik Cache and formatted cache partition. I have even done the factory reset and wiped all apps. I think the issue is because, it is reading the battery profile incorrectly or battery is actually drained when mobile data is turned on and that is triggering switch off thing.

Not sure if I'm right, but I think the practical solution to your problem would be to perform a flash from 0 up KPQ or KPU (which are the most stable to install this ROM), it may be the modem or the base ROM you used (for 3 months I have this ROM and never gave me any problems with KPQ)
Another thing, have you tried testing with Dhiru CM9 Base? to see if the same thing happens?

Have you tried to fix permissions on CWM? I got some problems with it too. After fixing and installing 1.5.4 again no problem. Now I'm on 1.6 and all is fine...
@ tavomt :
I think I can directly flash to stock rom.
Please help me
sI have tried fix permission and after that also this issue persists.
Also I have flashed with CM10 alpha from dhiru. This is also showing the same behavior. :crying:
Now flashed with RemICS JB . But the issue is still there. :crying::crying::crying:
I think I need to go back to REMICS 1.0, as there is no issue on it. But I desperately like to use this ROM. If anyone has got a fix, please post and help me.
Sometimes, when I take apps also , the phone gone off (Google Currents and Angry bird )

What is your baseband version? Mine is xle4 and have no such problem using remics(kernel bam & chaos) and rem-jb. Try using 2g only for a day, and see if the problem still persist.

The issue you are facing is exclusive to you. So i will not consider this a bug from my ROM.
I suggest you to follow correct flashing procedure. Wiping data before flashing a new ROM is a good practice.
It is possible that a third party app you are using is responsible.

Hmmm... but I have tried it also..now I think its better go back to stock . Can anyone give me the URL to download latest stock for our phone.....?

:crying::crying::crying:
The sad thing is that the problem persists after flashing stock ROM also. I have first flashed to XXKPE and then to XXKPU using Odin as given in the following link
http://blog.vigitalsolutions.com/2012/08/18/upgrade-samsung-galaxy-sl-i9003-to-cyanogenmod-9-cm9/
The issue is there in both the stock ROMS. Actually this issue was not present before. Now don't know what to do. I am only able to connect to internet in plugged in state.
Some times it turns off during call also .

[Q] Htc Evo 4G LTE Jellybean crashing super su

Hello all i just did the 3.15.651.16 update from viper boy and everything was good until i tried to update Su binary in Supersu.. it crashes the phone completely off and restarts every time.. i have tried updating busybox with no success.. anyone have any ideas on what this could be? I have done a full wipe x3 and a few rom installs and all do the same thing.. thanks in advance!
I'm actually getting the same thing. Not sure why but I tried with SuperSU and Superuser and it happened with both. I'm wondering if this is HTC's doing.....
Oh also, you might want to move this to the Evo forum because I only found this from Google and wouldn't have browsed this section of XDA for this issue.

Yeah I know i posted wrong lol.. I also noticed that whatever you do in /system say edit the build.prop always resets at boot as if the file system is a read only.. also can you see if your Navigation crashed.. youd have to be in a car moving but mine crashes bad
Sure I can check. I also noticed that anytime Titanium Backup runs a batch backup job it causes the phone to restart almost immediately
I'm really surprised this isn't all over the place. We can't be the only ones having this issue....

Any update on this? same thing happening to me, installed CWM-SuperSU-v0.99 and still see the instant reboots..

Give the MeanBean ROM by mikeyxda a try! Its great and reliable, worst case if you perform a hard reset flash MeanBean you can go back to your other ROM if you don't like it. At least will let you know if the issues lies in your existing ROM or not. You may even be able to perform a dirty flash back to your present ROM and that could retain the SuperSu from MeanBean.. Hope this helps.
If it did help feel free to hit my thanks button!!
I forgot to check but now when I do it, the phone doesn't restart--it now just says it failed to install the binaries. The phone is still rooted but I guess I can't use advanced features. I still think there's an issue in the /system directory because I can't get Titanium Backup to remove system apps (apps integrated into the ROM).

Something up with the stock SU on this build.
Some people are saying that they simply updated the SU binary and fixed it.
I downloaded SuperSU from the Play Store. Installed it. Opened it. Let it update. Then disabled the stock SU.
Worked like a charm

I've had this issue also, but changing the app I use didn't help...going to redo everything tomorrow but instead of going from entropy's build to 4.2...going to take the extra step of going to 4.1 first...only thing I haven't tried and from what I saw in another thread it worked, so hopefully that's all it is...will post when I try it but figured I'd pass on what I saw in another thread here
After going to the 4.1build first, I haven't had a single issue...

Setting -> Apps (under Device) or... From your home screen hit Menu button -> Manage Apps.
Then swipe over until you see All at the top of the screen.
From there, when you click any App, you can disable, uninstall (not stock apps, typically), clear App Cache, etc. You'll see
I usually kill things like browser (I use Chrome and FF), stock gallery(I flash Photosphere), and some wallpaper choices and things I don't use.

[Q] Hardware issue?

Does anyone have a problem with random "pauses" while using apps? It's totally not noticeable for applications that aren't continually running animations (ie: kindle, text scrolling) but becomes evident when doing thins such as:
- recording video (the "pause" will cause the recording to stop randomly for both continuous and time lapse)
- playing games (will cause the game to go to the pause screen)
- tasker programming (I think this is affected because tasker will randomly close itself without a FC dialog, profiles and tasks seem okay)
I turned on debugging to see if it was a dirty screen or anything, but the touch coordinates don't change at all when the "pause" happens. Anyone have an idea how I can fix this? It is rather crippling to the N5.
I am rooted and I have seen this problem on all roms (and I believe I noticed it on stock too...)
I use a ballistic case, if anyone else has had problems with it...
Thanks in advance!
Using N5 on Carbon + Franco kernel
I guess no one's ever had this problem before? =[
Have you tried factory reset? Fixes most problems. Could be Franco's kernel has a bug in the latest release.

I've tried out a few roms (factory reseting and cache clearing between each one) to see if it was any one problem, but whether AOSP or CM based, I still have the problem =/

Do you mean stock + unrooting? I think I remember having the problem back then, but I don't quite remember before I rooted...I'll try going back to stock w/ root first and see if it's still happening. Thanks!

Yes follow the link in the general to go back to complete stock and that will eliminate anything and everything that could be an issue related to software.
For what it is worth, what method did you use to root?

Hmm, I think it worked. I haven't tested it out for lengthy periods of time but I haven't noticed any pausing anymore! =]
I followed the unroot instructions to return to stock. Although I didn't relock the bootloader.
Then I booted up stock and it seemed like it works fine.
I reinstalled CWM recovery through adb (same as I did the first time) and proceeded to reflash
It seems like the problem is gone now on custom ROM as well. Interestingly enough, if I nandroid restore my old backup, I do get the problem again.
Is there something different between reflashing stock part and wiping from factory/data reset + system partition format + wipe cache + wipe davalik?
Thanks for your help guys! I was sure before that it was hardware since I had the problem on stock w/ root, but thankfully it's not a hardware problem! =]

How to Restore Factory WIFI Settings

Hi all,
I have a sprint HTC U11. I have TWRP installed and the phone rooted via SuperSU. I installed the Wifi Tether Router app and got it to work. However, the app did something to mess up my WIFI and I am no longer able to turn WIFI on at all anymore. It just says "Error" in the WIFI section when I open the phone settings.
Can someone please tell me how to restore all of the factory WIFI settings to get rid of this problem?
Thanks.
You can maybe try Settings -> Backup & Reset -> Network Settings Reset to see if it will help..

I have tried this with no luck. I think I probably will have to flash something via fastboot, but I'm not sure what to flash.

I suppose you have also tried this from their support page (if I googled correct app):
Q: After using the app I can not use WiFi, I can not connect to WiFi networks
uncheck the "Scan Always Aviable" on WiFi Advanced Settings on your phone and reboot your phone

Yeah, I have seen that, but the "Scan Always Available" option is not present on my U11. I know that it was on my Old M8.

I have relocked my bootloader as I am selling this one as Solar Red is on it's way so I cannot test it.
I might be completely wrong, but there is that or similar setting now in Location -> three dots menu in top right corner -> search -> enable wifi scan or something..
I have no other ideas except obvious ones or googled ones, if you uninstalled app, rebooted and still doesn't work you can maybe contact developer or someone here uses that app and can help you..

I'll give that a try when I get home.
I should have also noted that doing a factory reset resolves the issue. I would like to avoid that if possible though.

No, I am not familiar with that process.
I believe that is flashing without wiping, on top of the existing rom install. I'm not sure that this will help; but that is what I've seen discussed as dirty flash....
So this is a conceptual only answer.
I am having the exact same issue. Anyone come up with a fix?
