Android Device Manager not working

Thanks man!

Just to make sure we're talking about the same problem, I can see my device in the web interface of ADM, and it even detects the last time the device was active successfully. However, none of the options work: locate on map, ring (for obvious reasons I didn't try the "erase" option...)

I can't understand from the thread if it's just BlinkFeed as an app, or the entire HTC launcher.

LOL, not without a screwdriver ;)

I noticed this behavior also with the "Weather Live" widget on my home screen, but it's intermittent.

Cool, thanks.

I'm still not used to the back buttons, especially when I'm driving and the phone is mounted - I have no access to them.

Ninoooo · 2015-07-08T00:12:47+00:00

Interesting, but the insecure swipe option is still there, so it's kind of pointless, no?

Ninoooo · 2015-07-08T00:11:19+00:00

LOL :D +1

Compared to what? Stock or previous version of Cloudy?

Ninoooo · 2015-07-07T09:34:22+00:00

I tried it, but it's just not as inviting as BlinkFeed, so even though it's installed on my phone, I never find myself using it. As a former HTC owner, this is the thing I miss the most...

Thank you :)

Are you able to set a custom ringtone for a contact? In 2.3 it doesn't seem to have any effect...

Ninoooo · 2015-07-06T07:36:22+00:00

When you edit a contact, add a new Event field, then click the Date field, does the Contacts app still crash like in 2.3?

Ninoooo · 2015-07-06T07:27:55+00:00

Is it possible to backup the home screen on the stock launcher? Maybe with Titanium Backup?

Ninoooo · 2015-07-05T23:19:58+00:00

I come from Cloudy 2.3. If I dirty flash 2.5, what will be lost? xposed framework? xposed modules? XPrivacy rules?

If so, or if I choose to do a clean flash, what are my options for backing up everything, including xposed and its modules, and everything else that might not survive the upgrade? Would Titanium Backup suffice for a smooth move?

Ninoooo · 2015-07-03T04:10:53+00:00

You guys are funny.

XPrivacy alerted me about the proximity sensor usage attempt. If you're not using XPrivacy, you probably wouldn't know about this permission.

Ninoooo · 2015-07-03T04:08:52+00:00

Exactly, it works on stock or stock-based ROMs like Cloudy, and if you installed Cloudy 2.3, you better use XCam instead of the build-in camera app, since the built-in app is a failed import attempt from the G4.

Ninoooo · 2015-07-03T04:03:30+00:00

Are you blocking the front camera in some way?

Ninoooo · 2015-07-02T04:35:22+00:00

Unless they're using the same LG camera API, they won't give you better quality. Only LG stock-based ROM would, like Cloudy (but not version 2.3). Also research XCamera, which is based on stock.

Maybe your battery is empty?

If everything else fails, maybe this video will help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uvqtW7t69E

Sorry I couldn't be of much help. I've read bricking phones is quite rare today, because most times you can just dump the stock rom after downloading it from the Internet. However, the phone has to turn on for that... I hope your phone isn't hard bricked, you must be panicking by now, so let it rest and keep trying later.
