File Expert is broken in regards to mounting folders RW/RO. Even though it claims it has successfully changed permissions, it never does or they don't stick. I suffered the exact same issue, regarding mounting folders RW/RO, and had to install Root Explorer to get the job done.
[Kindle Fire General] death2all110:
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/system /system

is the adb command
[Kindle Fire General] ghost_og:
This might be a dumb question, but did you

su

and click OK on the Superuser prompt on the KF screen prior to the adb push attempts? Were you able to mount /system rw through adb? If adb can't get root access there's no way File Expert will be able to.

File Expert works fine. I've used it to do all my root related installs. You just have to make sure you check the 'Root Explorer' box under Settings>File Explorer Settings before trying to do any /system mounts, it's off by default.
[Kindle Fire General] nycrare:
Thank you everyone for your help. If I remember correctly, I did try "su" in adb. but not sure if entered the code correctly. I also heard about File Expert could be the cause when it comes to gaining permissions. I checked root explorer on File expert settings as well. I'm beginning to wonder if my hard install of market app ,which worked to my surprise, messed things up. I will try to reset my KF to factory setting and start over again. I will report back with the result. Once again, I really appreciate everyone's help.:)
[Kindle Fire General] nycrare:
i have to admit this is the first time I see this code. I tried something similar based on an instruction from another site. But not this exact code. I will try it later.
[Kindle Fire General] txtj:
that command line was a life saver
[Kindle Fire General] ghost_og:
Saved me a future headache

Interesting. I was the one it worked for and I'm pretty sure I got mine from the Market, not Amazon. Good thing I haven't clicked that update button from within Amazon App Store.

Thank you for following up. Perfect example of how it can help others. :D

Glad you got everything sorted.

I looked at the other thread about L2Cap support, but none had an answer.

Is there any terminal command I can use to enable L2Cap support in the E4GT?

I have an Inpulse watch, getinpulse.com, which use L2Cap to communicate, and wanted to get the watch working with my new phone.

Hi!

There's several ways of taking a screenshot on the SGNote. including the "hand swipe" over the screen thing. I can't get that one to work. Is there something you have to enable? or am I just doing it wrong? I have looked at videos on youtube but it won't work :-(

Any ideas?

It seems that rooting works just fine using SuperOneClick or the RootKindleFire.com method, yet when I unroot it seems to get stuck in this limbo, where it doesn't have Superuser or root access, but SuperOneClick thinks the device is still rooted and Amazon Video is disabled.

Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it without factory restoring?

I have attached a screenshot. You can see where it says it can't remove the Superuser apk, etc but it isn't on my device.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] briandap:

[Sony Tablet S] zabumba:
Hello! I have a twonky server at home. When I open the sony dlna app on the tablet my server is listed and I can Browse all the content of the media server. The problem is when I try to see photos (jpg format) they are all marked with a yellow triangle with an exclamation inside, and when I click on the photo I receive a message saying "this device can't play this content". So the only media I can play are my collection of mp3 that plays without problems.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
[Sony Tablet S] zabumba:
I'm gonna answer myself in case of someone has the same issue. I think the sony dlna app has some kind of resolution/Mb limit. Most of my photos have a resolution about 5 to 12 Megapixels that can't be viewed, but some photos with a low resolution are displayed without problems.
[Sony Tablet S] Fransens:
Same here!

Also have the same problem. It seems that any pic above 1 Mb or so will not be shown. I don't always have the yellow triangle, I just have a black screen with some grey icon.

Also tried almost all other dlna apps from the market but then my problem is that no single app will recognize my Iomega NAS

Anyone any ideas?
[Sony Tablet S] arw01:
any progress on this one? No DLNA apps in the market?
[Sony Tablet S] zabumba:
Well, I've been trying Eminent DLNA and HomeDia. Although I didn't had much time to play with them, apparently both do their job, the choice is a matter of personal taste.
[Sony Tablet S] ps3taker:
Skifta works for everything and is free but a bit slow during first start up . BubbleUpnp works for videos and music but its free version is limited. For all video formats support install mx video player and the tegra codecs of it.

first off i would like to thank all the developers and everyone else that made this site what it is today. with all the knowledge and know how here, i would really appreciate it if i can get some well needed advice on a few things. i want to makesure my phone is aup to date as possible, i understand that every phone is different but in general what can i do to update my evo4g? here is my setup now,

android vers. 2.3.3

htc sense vers. 2.1

build # mikg-sense 2.1+3.0-v3.0 b1

baseband 2.15.00.0808

if possible can you include links to whatever things you suggest? again thanks for your help.
[EVO 4G General] tommytomatoe:
That is best sense 2.1+ available. You're good to go.

[EVO 4G General] mann75:
That's great thanks for the reply. I have another question for ya then. Is my radio version good or is there a better one to flash?
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
There's a thread in the dev section with all the radios in it. If you're not having issues, you're good. If you want a solid stable Sense ROM, you're good. Anything past that is more of a project with bugs that need to be worked out still.

If you want to try something different and equally as stable, give MIUI a shot. No 4G though. Never will be. But it's an AOSP ROM and has a TON of cool features.

Hi. I installed Koush's CM9 Alpha 11 on my Nexus S cos I just couldn't wait :)

It's a great build, but I'd like to be able to go back to vanilla android once Google releases ICS. Can I flash the 2.3 build from ROM Manager and will it update then it how can I go back? I'm aware that I'll probably lose root then, but that's not an issue.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fineazbro:
It should work ive done it before, soon you flash 2.3 from rom manager, check your phone for update and install 2.3.6 from there

[Kindle Fire General] zonbal33:
I have a few questions and they are probably answered here but I'm at work so its very hard tor me to get on my phone.

- is their a way to get android market on a KF even if its not rooted? I really would just like to install apps that are not in the amazon market. A new launcher,etc. Do you have to be rooted to install apps from android?

- What is side loading apps? I keep hearing people talk about this? What is it for?

- is there a way to text people from my KF? If so can anyone tell me a good app?

- how can I change the amazon keyboard to say swiftkey or something?

- any way to play movies on the KF? Could I drop a mkv, avi, divx, etc. movie from my pc onto my kindle? Or could I stream it to my kindle somehow?

- last question to now...is there a way to improve the touch screen response? I have to repeatedly touch icons, links and whatnot. I thought I saw an app that improves the KF screen?

Thanks everyone for the help, its greatly appreciated.
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
1) No. Market needs root to install. Some other launchers work without root, but you now have to side load them. You can add other non-Amazon apps in many cases, but without root, you can't use the Android Market, so you would need to side load them.

2) Copying the APK install files via download or via usb or other means.

3) The Kindle Fire is not a phone, there is no radio in the device so no text messaging. You can use things like Google Talk but you need root to install it. There are some web based txt stuff, but that is not really on the device.

4) Need root to do this

5) There are other video players that will do this. Like MX Video player

6) Not really.
[Kindle Fire General] Thelgow:
6 In particular is starting to get on my nerves. I think its an OS/Kernel issue because tapping stuff elsewhere seems to be ok, but that bar is a headache. Hit back 5x and you see it light up each time.

Also I dont know if its dolphin browser or what but a lot of the times I tap a typing area like google search, after 2-3 letters it just hides the keyboard.

Also I've been having more issues where you click a typable area and start typing, but nothing shows. Keyboard is showing recommended words, but none will actually show on the screen.

Oh, also if you're watching a video on a site, good luck moving the time bar. Sometimes I have to press and hold my finger 2-3 seconds for it to trigger.

Seems to be a little worse since 6.2 imo.
[Kindle Fire General] zonbal33:
Once the kindle is rooted and the entire market is installed does the kindle act like an android phone? Do you get the android home screen? With cm7 does your tablet act just like phone obviously without gos and so on.
[Kindle Fire General] Thelgow:
The market is just an app that you use to get more apps.

It will still look and feel like an out of the box kindle fire.

And last I recall the market wont show up in the standard kindle launcher, so no one would even know it was there.

You have to take additional steps to even utilize it.

CM7 would make it act like an android device. there are tablets with CM7 so it has nothing to do with phones. Gos I assume is gps, and some tablets have that so it isnt phone only.

I think you can send/receive a limited number of text messages as well as make /receive calls with a free Google Voice account. I have not tested this with the Kindle Fire, so someone else may correct me.

There is an app called TouchScreen Booster that may help you adjust your screen sensitivity.

[Kindle Fire General] iclickjohn:
Go to Kindle Fire browser Google search for "applanet". Under the link will be on the left "familiar interface" I tried that one first and it didn't work. On the right of it is one called "Version". I clicked that one and it directly started downloading an app. Tap the upper left part of the screen where the notifications are and when it is done downloading tap on its notification. It will install. (prior to this you need to go to settings - device and turn on download from unknown sources) install it and it creates an app called Applanet Market. Go to the Amazon market and search for ADW ex. Download that. You may find apps on Applanet that are not in Amazons.Search for any application you want. Like youtube, earth, gmail, whatever. When you're done playing with applanet hit your home key. It will give you a choice of ADW or stock. Check off the default box and choose ADW. Go to menu at bottom and go to ADW settings. Advanced. Set columns to 6 and rows to 6 and return back. At the bottom middle you have the ADW 3 button controller. I opened the app drawer (middle button) and dragged the Kindle Fire launcher to home screen and then long pressed it and dragged it over the area left of the appdrawer button. It will stick here and with it you can get to the stock KF home screen. But whenever you tap home, you will go to ADW. If you ever want to change that, go to settings. Applications. ADW. And at the lower area you can choose to release the default.

Is applanet back up?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sporttster:
I've been doing a lot of research on this and it appears that our Razr has a bug that has been plaguing alot of Android phone. The 'suspend' bug. I noticed my phone was using alot of battery just sitting overnight. Sometime I'd wake up and it would be dead, which didn't make any sense. So I dl'd Watchdog to see what was killing the batt and it would get a warning about a 'suspend' process. This would pop up several times when the phone was just idle and not being used,with screen off. So I Googled it and there are alot of folks on various Android phones experiencing this problem. Here is a link to one site that is working on it or has been: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11126

If you do a search on it, there are quite a few places that it's popping up on. I can't figure out how to get it fixed but I do know that this is one reason our phones are not lasting as long as they could. They're being drained when not being used! Now this may affect alot of folks or just some but it's a definate problem, I know on my phone it sure is!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] royalbloodvi:
I've also noticed there's a huge drain in battery use coming android is. Hope there's a fix for this.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ronin3178:
What is the full name of the program? Could you possibly freeze it in TB?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] marioman94:
It's not a program but a process of the Android OS. It's likely part of the rom for the razr like a setting that motorola stuck in that prevents the low-power cycle that should happen when you put in sleep mode. Probably could be fixed once people start making roms or if they roll out that OTA for icecream sandwich.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 180sx:
Same here, hope this gets fixed soon .
[Motorola Droid RAZR] talon95:
And as I have pointed out in other threads, having Wifi connected magnifies this problem quite a lot (for my phone at least). If I use CPU Spy to monitor sleep time, if Wifi is connected, I get almost zero sleep time even if the screen is always off.

What I've found for battery drain with screen off:

Wifi on, cell data off (using smart actions): 4%/hour

Wifi off, only 3g data on: 1-2%/hour

4g falls in between somewhere.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] opensourcefan:
It would be great if Juice Defender could be programmed to deal with this Suspend Process.

Which watchdog did you install? the free version. I would like to confirm this and I suggest others do as well.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sporttster:
Yea just using the free version of Watchdog. Make sure you enable the search Android processes also.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
BetterBatteryStats shows it as well under "Process"
[Motorola Droid RAZR] basschica:
I'm also having this issue. I was getting really good battery life (compared to my work phone, an Evo) for the first few weeks and then all a sudden the battery bombed on me. The standard Android battery use info only showed "Android OS" as the culprit (and would show like 60-80% as of late) of battery going to it. I downloaded Watchdog Lite and then this morning after I had the phone off the charger it was giving me the alert that the suspend process exceeded threshold of 51%.

I DO use wifi and that was actually helping with battery, but I have it set to not use when screen is off. Now, that being said if suspend is hanging on it trying to disable that's one thing, but I've got those settings in juice defender and in the OS config.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Grims:
I have the exact same issue
[Motorola Droid RAZR] opensourcefan:
I don't know what it is, haven't checked but...I lost 13% overnight in about 8 hours, too much IMO. Still get awesome battery life though, can't imagine if that was gone.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mcramer19:
I lost the same last night. Unplugged for 8 hours. Not turned on. Was awake for first hour at least. Didn't go to suspend mode for awhile
[Motorola Droid RAZR] deffjeff:
I have the Razr for about 2 weeks now, and I have yet to get an issue.. However, maybe for the handsets affected, a patch will come out to resolve the issue. Or maybe, just maybe they will just wait and release it complete with ICS for the Razr.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] asheg:
delete.............
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Grims:
Well, I think I figured out what was causing the issue in my case. Anyone else running the app "Screebl"?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ronin3178:
Yep, use it my Razr.

Anyone experience something (a term I will borrow from the Nook forums, ) "Sleep of Death"? It has happened three times to me on my Razr in two days, although in the last two it hasn't happened.

By SOD I mean that I unplugged the phone from the charger fully charged and within a matter of 25min to 6hours the phone becomes unresponsive . No power button working, plugging into charger, nothing wakes it. The only time it responds is after the hard reboot ( by holding down power and volume - for 10s)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Grims:
Well, after disabling Screebl I haven't had anymore wacklock issues. Watch Dog isn't reporting on suspend anymore, and betterbatterystats is now behaving as well.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dgiaffe:
I also have Android OS taking up to like 46% of my battery. However, I now got around 20 hours battery life with a few txt, calls, music gaming etc since I turned the policy of the Wifi to go off when screen is turned off. Weirdly, it also appears to improve my battery life even when my WiFi is already turned off. Guess you guys can give it a try. But Android OS is the main energy user of my battery. Didn't have that on my Xperia X10
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pm1066:
I have two questions:

1. Does anyone know the correlation between CPU usage and battery burn? I'm seeing Suspend consistently burning 3-5% of CPU, but haven't seen how that directly translates into batteyr burn. There should be some sort of mathematical relation between X CPU = Y battery burn.

2. Even though suspend is eating low cpu cycles, the battery dropping 10-15% overnight with nothing going on is still ridiculous. Any ideas on what else the probelm is?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sporttster:
Don't have 'sreebl' or whatever it's called. Still have suspend bug.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Osemele:
Arrow Razr has Androids 'suspend' bug that kills battery life

For over 3 weeks now I have had the same problem with the so called "Suspend Bug" on my Motorola XT910 Spyder.

After testing all the solutions proposed in different forums without success, I have finally nailed the rapid battery drain problem during idle/sleep time on one of the apps I downloaded from the Android market. Its the Perfect AppsLock! I have uninstalled Perfect AppsLock and my battery is currently 90% full after 6 hours since last charge. I hope this helps.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jesseownzzz:
what app did you use to monitor this?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Osemele:
I did not use any app to investigate this.

I did a factory reset then reinstalled all my previous apps from the Android market. Finally I followed up with the old fashioned method of eliminating apps one by one and monitoring by battery performance untill I narrowed it to Perfect AppsLock apps.

By the way I did this over a couple of days since I had time on my side. Remember the problem had persisted for over 3 weeks. The bottom line is that uninstalling Perfect AppsLock solved my problem.
