After installing the droidwall and blocking no 1000 application of the kindle

and unblocking it updated and "re-kindled" the kindle fire with wispesync (that is now working, and that didnt work after the root for 6.2 update) and I lost all books from the device ! I can only see the now through the kindle fire utility and I cannot download them back...even if do download them!

what happend? Heeeeeeeeeelp!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sotevag:
I cannot see now the books that I put in the "book" and "documents" folders, why?

somehow the kindle fire with wispesync blocks everything! Before, it didnt work and everthing was allright! I could receive the books I was sending through the internet and the books that I stored! Now its weird! what could I do?

It is also happening to me, let me know if you managed to solve it, and if yes, how
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
I may be wrong but I think this is one of Amazon's underhanded little tricks. I noticed this recently myself and it seems that when you download your books from the cloud to your device, they are either hidden or encrypted to prevent people from sharing or transferring between devices. Who knows what the reason is.

You can still go to Amazon.com and download your books in .azw format to your computer and use Calibre with a drm removal plugin to convert the .azw to .mobi before placing them in your "kindle" folder. [Edit:] fixed stupidity

[Edit:] In the process of writing this, I was able to locate where Kindle stores books. On your sdcard, under Android/data/com.amazon.kindle/files you will find all of your books and documents renamed and with a different file extension ".prc". I'll look into it more to see what can be done with the .prc format and maybe see if it's as simple as renaming it.

[2nd Edit:] The .prc files can be placed in your /sdcard/kindle folder and they should remain untouched when switching between Amazon Kindle accounts.

[3rd Edit:] "Google Books" is the same way.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcelloLins:
Thanks !

Let me know if you find a "fix" for that.

My problem is a little different as i said up there, my "Books" are Fine, but, even tho my "Documents" are showing up at the "Documents" tab, i can't download nor open any of them.

Once i hit any document it only flashed (so that i know i touched it), but, nothing else happens. Same with trying to "download" it.

By the way, i dont have this folder located in my "sdcard" folder : Amazon/data/com.amazon.kindle/files

Anyone else have it ?

Thanks

Hi,

I suggest that my problem has actually got the same root as yours.

I've got 2 different Amazon accounts. I've purchased a lot of books with my

Kindle One a year ago and I've recently bought a new Kindle Fire.

In order to access the Books on my old account, I have to register and deregister the device and download the books from cloud to the device every time.

I am just curious if there is a way to keep my Books and Documents after deregistering form my old Amazon account.

My Kindle fire is rooted and I've just found out that Kindle stores all books in my ''books'' folder after downloading them from cloud but If after that you deregister the device it simply deletes all of them. Now after making a backup of all files and putting them back in books folder Kindle doesn't recognize or show them after all. As mentioned above thre are a lot of *.prc files, but to deal with them?

Are they encrypted some how?

Any Ideas?

Thank you in Advance

cheers

Mjay
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
I'm not sure what the .prc files are exactly but when I put them in my "kindle" folder, the Kindle app recognizes them as my downloaded books.

While you are signed into one account, copy the contents of the folder containing the .prc files and put them in a safe place on your sdcard. Then switch accounts and either put them back in the same place, or in whichever folder your Kindle accesses books from. Just keep a backup in case you switch accounts and they get deleted again.

You may want to figure out which filename belongs to which book and rename it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CdRsKuLL:
Good morning,

I've just got a Eken T01 Tablet (£80) bit of a bargain to be honest :-) Anyway.....

I would like to add a usb gps driver to it. Now from what I understand I need a few things.

1. USB Host

2. USB Linux Drivers

3. Root

I have all three and the driver is a PL-2303 USB to Serial Driver. From what I can gather I need to put these c. files into a specific folder on my tablet and then edit a couple of files to load these drivers on startup ?

Am I going down the right root ? or completely off the mark ?

Any help would be great, I've tried to do alot of reading but not getting far really because most tablets either have built in gps or they dont normally have a host usb port.

If I'm just pointed in the right direction it will be a great help.

many thanks,

Steve

[update]

I've just found this on Prolific's site...

Linux Kernel 2.4.31 and above already includes built-in drivers for PL-2303H, PL-2303XA/HXA and PL-2303HXD.

NOTE: Google Android OS is also based on Linux kernel so it also supports PL2303.

does that mean it already has a driver installed and I'm just missing something ? How would I check ?

Thanks,
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robcb85:
I think you'll need to install a kernel module. These are hard to compile since EKEN refuses to release their kernel source code. EKEN's response to my request:

"I’m afraid that we are not able to provide you the information you have requested. The information is regarded as strictly confidential."

I was able to compile an FTDI kerenel module for the EKEN T01 using the .config and php program provided on a post on slatedroid. Can't post a link, so google: "slatedroid Generic USB-Serial GPS HAL driver novo"

But it still doesn't recognize my FTDI device. I think there are some deeper problems with the USB host support on the device. Doesn't even recognize a simple HID device. I'm hoping if I update to the latest firmware it'll work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CdRsKuLL:
Thanks for the info fella... I've still been doing alot of googling and reading trying to get a little further.

I've attached a couple of .mo files.. I've tried to insmod them and they seem to go in fine.. but that's as far as I've got. :-(

I've installed a google pack so have gps locations tick box and navigator but it's not picking up anything.

When I do dmesg plugging / unplugging the usb gps it's just changing some port.. not loading the drivers as I would expect.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Steve
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robcb85:
This is what I get on dmesg, not matter what I plug in:

<7>[ 245.190000] ehci_irq: port change detect
<7>[ 245.200000] ehci_irq: port change detect
<7>[ 245.380000] ehci_irq: port change detect
<7>[ 245.550000] ehci_irq: port change detect
<7>[ 245.550000] ohci_irq: connect status change
<7>[ 245.610000] The port change to OHCI now!

I assume you're using the USB Host port. Perhaps try an OTG cable connected to the USB Mini port. I don't have an OTG cable else I would.

The zip is corrupted after I download it. By .mo do you mean .ko?

[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
This is why its always a good idea to do a lot of background research on things like this. As for a solution I'd call up Sprint, they've been known to send out 3g airaves free of charge to customers in spotty service areas, this would get you good solid 3g in your house. Doesn't do anything to touch your 4g issue though, and not quite sure what you could do other than once again call Sprint telling them all this and see what they offer/say. They may credit you something or offer you an early upgrade to an LTE device once their networks up and running. And I don't know how the phone rep you bought it from could have not known about the EOL of the Photon, I'm sure they don't care too much they just want to push as many units out the door as possible. If you don't get anywhere decent with Sprint try taking it up with Radio Shack, not sure what all they could/would be willing to do for you though since its been a bit since you purchased it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] TurbulentEddie:
How many times are we going to have this discussion... EOL does not mean no more manufacturer updates. Other phones have gotten updates past EOL. Motorola has a timeline for the Photon/Electrify to get ICS.

Can't help you on the WiMAX issue, though. :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] cornelious2:
Use wifi?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cringer63:
I understand not being happy with the 4G I guess, though it's always been pretty spotty and hogged during the day in my experience so a little research would have told you that I think. Contact Sprint is the best you can do.

As far as the Photon being EOL'd, if you are happy with it then who cares? The phone is great, they all get EOL'd at some point. As far as the life span of WIMAX, yes they are moving away from it but the towers are not going away anytime real soon, you will still have WIMAX coverage for a while yet.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MooseV2:
First: let me say I use this phone in Canada, and with Cyanogen Mod 7 and I bought this phone for $380 unlocked (SIM) and without contract.

Regarding WiMAX: I don't care because

a) I don't use 4G anyways,

b) I CAN'T use 4G because it's not provided in my area,

c) Unlocked bootloader,

d) For fast speeds I can just use WiFi.

e) Abandoning WiMAX means better technology is coming

f) Honestly, do you NEED to have hundreds of Mbps speeds on your PHONE?

For EOL:

I don't care/I appreciate it because:

a) It doesn't affect MY phone use whether or not Motorola stops making this phone

b) Accessories will be cheaper

c) It's still a good phone and I'll be able to get it for cheaper (on eBay, etc)

d) We're still getting ICS

e) Motoblur sucks and even if they don't do it, CM9 is always going to be there

Therefore, I don't care on both accounts.
[Motorola Photon 4G] studentjunk:
as far as a signal booster or repeater, I think it may be possible. I did a google search, and found some interesting links. I would read carefully before purchasing to be sure the bandwidth matches.
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheChronicDroid:
about your 4g connection/speed problem, I can help a bit

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1365058

Use that to thread to find your msl code, ull need it to change a few things

Go into "##DATA#" in your dialer, using your msl code as the password,(hit nenu nd edit) in data profile turn reverse tunneling off, set device IP to 0.0.0.0, in multimedia set RSTP and HTTP to 0.0.0.0 and set the two ports to 0, set the buffer length to 20, in Wiimax set Entry CINR (db) to 2/4

Note - this should help your signal problem, it is the required signal strength to connect to wiimax

And also before changing everything id recommend backing up the original settings if you ever need to switch back, this should help your 3g and 4g
[Motorola Photon 4G] redhatter:
I posted this on another thread but it really fit better here

===============================================

Look..

The bootloader is unlocked..... it just breaks wimax..

And with with wimax dead... (I.E. no more build out).... if you don't have it now you never will....

So this is now the best sprint unlocked 3g CDMA/GSM world phone there is....

So punt on 4g on this phone....

Go unlocked (no wixmax)

If we can get cm9 on this phone .... and get gsm unblocked for US you have a killer 3g world phone.....

Considering sprint screw us on wimax I say we have a right to recover some of our investment....

Sprint can give some of the value back to this phone now that wimax is dead by unblocking the damm GSM for the US market then we have something worth selling or keeping as a backup world phone

I say class action at min at Sprint.. demand unlock and unblock gsm to recover our investment in a phone sprint made a 4g promise they never met

Sprint...We lost a service you sold us for use in the US (Wimax 4g) so give us back a service for use in the US (GSM) that gives back some value to the phone...its as cheap and easy as a radio firmware update....

In fact for any Wimax phone Sprint has sold...

Sprint should an mim unlock any and all services it can on those phones as some kind of compensation to buyers so they salvage back some of the investment lost as buyers of that hardware...

We as buyers of Sprint Wimax phones have a business case to be made to demand as such
[Motorola Photon 4G] ArchangelRenzoku:
Just curious, why do you want Domestic GSM unlocked when it's only useful out of the country? Sprint has no GSM towers and they don't have an incentive to unlock it because if it's unlocked, you will be using a SIM Card from another provider like AT&T or T-Mobile... meaning providing competition from a Sprint phone...
[Motorola Photon 4G] dito33:
Why you blame photon not getting LTE no sprint phone to this moment are available even some are on a horizon tho, even SGII if you would of got couldn't get you better signal or LTE. This phone still be good for awhile especially the way sprint moving the things forward.
[Motorola Photon 4G] redhatter:
Yes which mean it usable on other networks so it has more value....look I payed money for a Sprint 4g phone....Sprint now is making my 4g hardware, 3g hardware forever...pure loss of value...how to recover some value...let the hardware I OWN work on other carriers like AT&T or T-Mobile.....

I did not break my part of the deal with Sprint... Sprint broke the deal to provide 4g on the hardware they sold me

If you had a phone geting 4g in your area and the phone hardware failed and was no longer able to get 4g that would be a warranty issue for the phone right?

The phone would be replaced with one that worked as you were sold.... and if they could not replace or repair.... you would be offer a phone of same or greater value....

However I would not be warranty if I deliberately broke the phone

But Sprint is deliberately breaking there side of the network so why do I not Sprint take the loss?

This is not what I was sold or told when I bought....

So replace or repair or offer a phone of same or greater value or let me move on to another carrier with the hardware I bought

Look Im a network engineer of 30+ years....(in fact im posting while on a test bridge, telecommute in, since 4AM...boring)....Ive turned down many customer on data services...

A customer in good standing, you do not sell them a hardware investment on thier side of the link...

Then turn around and turn it down and just tell them "tough ****!"

"And Oh by the way we are going to hold you to your part of the deal, while you will not get the services and the growth of services and service network contracted for, you must keep paying the same rate with all penaltys for early cancellation"

Any business that pulled that on another business would be in court in a heartbeat.....

Hell in someways this is what Clearwire did to Sprint ... Clearwire could not provide the services and the growth of services and service network contracted for...

Did Sprint just let Clearwire keep charging them as all was contracted for? ...So why should we?

Look this is business.... provide what was contracted for or that deal is void...you can have the phone back and I get my money payed back...or let make a new deal

FYI... Do not expect to see any real performance difference at first beween Sprint /Clearwire 4g WIMAX and Sprint /Clearwire 4g LTE (unless they mask it with QOS for LTE traffic have priority over WIMAX traffic for thier internet bandwidth)...the issue was never WIMAX vs LTE as the layer 2 datalink itself ... Clearwire issue was Clearwire (I interview with them...for a while it seemed like they would call , via the headhunters, for new contract engineers ever other month...they have got issue and it was not WIMAX)
[Motorola Photon 4G] 318Charger:
Redhatter, were what you're saying completely correct, then I would mostly agree. However, it's not quite correct. From what I've read, Sprint IS going to provide you with what they sold you. The 4g Wi-Max infrastructure is supposed to stay functional until 2015. So Sprint sold you a phone that's going to be fully functional (4g) until 2015, which I think I'm safe to assume, is past the contract you've signed with them. Not looking to start a fight here, but I just wanted to clear up that 4g will still work until 2015
[Motorola Photon 4G] redhatter:
I live in Phoenix...Phoenix was to be build out as part of the 4g wimax network but was not and now never will be therefore I will never received the services sold the network was never built as presented....

Simple question would I have payed the premium for a service I never would get..

Or even better...sprint is now goint to sell LTE phones...but the LTE network is not built it just a promised at this point...so what if they sell LTE phones but then never deliver on the promised LTE...how is that diffrent then never delivering on the promised WIMAX network...

FYI Sprint still advertise in all their Phoenix stores all the Wi-Max products as 4G...something that will never work for most all of the customer in those stores
[Motorola Photon 4G] dito33:
If Sprint doesn't keep their promises on the LTE this is their last chance before

they go down, hell BestBuy is on the verge go down.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dtaylorr:
As to the OP comments, it is frustrating that Sprint is so far behind in the 4G game, but 3G is plenty fast enough for me. I would love 4G, but not having it is not a huge deal to me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
#1. I feel the same way, I'v only used 4G 3 times, once on EVO and 2 on Photon.

#2. With that said, you need to thank me, I *****ed an moaned enough and I guess someone saw/heard it. Photon is off the EOL list!!!

http://www.technobuffalo.com/compan...f-life-list-reveals-evo-4g-is-on-its-way-out/
[Motorola Photon 4G] 318Charger:
I guess I don't know exactly what the language is in the contract, but I don't think 4g is ever explicitly promised. The way I understand it is you pay for whatever your talk/text is and then for unlimited data, and then $10 extra bc smartphones use more data. So while maybe it was pretty crappy of Sprint to act like 4g was ever going to happen or advertise heavily about it when it's service is so sparse, I don't think they're contractually obligated to provide it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
Let me tell you why I think this is good news. 1. It means Sprint and Motorola may be still talking. #2. I think the conversation would go a little something like this:

Sprint: "We have a EVO 4G LTE coming out, Samsung Galaxy LTE, **** or git off the pot!"

Motorola: "We will if you give us the same advertising pull you give them!"

I tell you another reason this is Great News, In order to trump the other 2, Niviara (sp?) is working on Quad-Core 1.5Gzh that WILL work on LTE 4G, and to top that off, maybe new Photon will still be CDMA/GSM with 32Gb memory, which will make it top dogg!! (Hey, I can dream like everyone else!)
