[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
Have you checked to see what drivers are getting loaded? Do you know what device should appear in the device manager? Have you tried to stop the temporary fastboot countdown? Do you know how to stop the temporary fastboot countdown?

If you aren't willing to try out my suggestions, there's not much else I can do.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErikV55:
Yes to all those things. The device does indeed pop up in the device manager but only for the brief 2 second window before it disconnects. I've tried multiple usb ports on my pc with the same result. The kindle does not power off in any way when the it disconnects from the pc.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
What is the device name that comes up?

What command did you send to stop the countdown?

What did it output as a result of the command?

What makes you think that it should power off when you disconnect from the PC?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErikV55:
I've tried to reset the bootmode via the KFU method recommended in the guide posted here (normal, 4000 and trying to reset when it says waiting for device) The device pops up in the device manager as an "unknown device" which may be a problem with the version of the drivers im DLing. I'm using KFU version 0.9.6

When I first DLed them it seemed as if the drivers were installing correctly, when I plugged in the Kindle is said drivers were being installed but it failed because the device disconnected after the 2 seconds.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hunterhk:
Rapid disconnects are nothing unique, they're simply driver or USB problems. Any malfunctioning USB device will give you that same sequence. Anyways, it's difficult to get out of a boot-loop without ADB so let's try to get that USB working again.

First, do you have a bootloader (like FFF) or a recovery (like TWRP) loaded? I'm not sure the USB driver will work during boot without at least one of those installed.

Second, boot into TWRP, then try to fix the USB from the computer end. Uninstall the drivers, download a fresh batch, reinstall drivers, reboot. Use explorer to check %userprofile%\.android\adb_usb.ini and make sure 0x1949 is there. Also check Kindle Fire Utility\drivers\kindle\android_winusb.inf and make sure whatever hardware ID is showing up in device manager is in there.

BTW, what device IS showing in Device Manager after the disconnect? Use right click, scan for hardware changes.

Third, the USB cable or ports themselves may be at fault. Try a different cable, and try a different computer. Also, reboot often.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErikV55:
Thanks for your response, I will go through these and report back when I get back home from class.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErikV55:
ok, now I have my kindle being recognized by my computer as "android phone" with the sub of "android adb interface." If I have read the guide correctly that means it is in fastboot mode. However when I open kfu it says the kindle is offline.

If someone would be willing to help me out through Skype I would gladly appreciate it. I'm really at a lose as to what to do at this point.

and no stupidly I do not have FFF or TWRP loaded, since I first rooted it when I was a super noob. The usb driver seems like it should be able to work according the the Kindle fire beginners guide, but KFU does not recognize the kindle even though my computer does.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] akhedraki:
Anyone else have this issue? There have been a couple of times where I've pulled my phone out of my pocket to use, hit the power button and....nothing. I've attributed it to possibly accidentally shutting it down while in my pocket, but then I was using it today when it started to chug a little and the screen locked up. That eventually led to the phone shutting off completely. Is that a common android thing?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mikeyinid:
yea, it happens but if yours is doing it daily it could be a bad unit.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] akhedraki:
It hasn't been every day, but I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks for your input!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] AndroidForMe:
This might actually be a big problem. I had to return my first phone because it would randomly "turn off" and there was no way to wake the screen or re-boot the phone. Even when trying to hold the power button, and/or power button + volume keys. Basically the phone was still "on" because you could call it and it would ring all the way through, but to use it again you would have to let the battery completely die and then re-charge the phone.

Any XDA developers working on porting Android to BB playbook?

We can root it using dingleberry and then install android apps [DOES NOT WORK PERFECTLY]

I would like to know if we can have a custom ANDROID ROM for bb playbook.

WAITING FOR REPLY! I need it desperately :(
[General Questions and Answers] pratik2much:
Anyone.. From xda team..there r many who can donate money for this cause. Just say yes..atleast
[General Questions and Answers] pratik2much:
**** this xda!
[General Questions and Answers] Tomaxda:
What you are suggesting would be very difficult.

For starters, it would require Linux drivers for all of the hardware that comprises the Playbook.

With the HP Touchpad it wasn't as big a problem because the TouchPad's Web OS was also Linux based - so there were already Linux drivers available.
[General Questions and Answers] pratik2much:
so is xda planning to give an attempt or playbook users should lose hope?
[General Questions and Answers] matt4321:
Android won't come to the playbook, simple! Factors including drivers, hardware isn't that great, greater interest in actual android tablets (xoom, galaxy tab, etc), it would take a team of excellent devs, they'd need a huge amount of time and also the final product would be buggy and laggy.

All in all if you're that desperate for android on a tablet. Get one with android pre-installed, i recommend a xoom
[General Questions and Answers] pratik2much:
No use of pb then..it's waste. Ending the thread
[General Questions and Answers] Nocturnal_50:
surprisingly enough the hardware is similar enough to the atrix (though some stuff is diffrent), given that a dev was able to compile a kernel for the PB as well as unlock the bootloader to support installing then maybe it'd be possible, as much as I'd love to have a decent HC, ICS or JB port on the device I personally have too much time dedicated to the dell streak 7 at the moment... with only 70000 units sold the PB doesnt look like that great of a seller either so it'd be a very minimalist target group
[General Questions and Answers] BackDaws:
when i first got my playbook i raved about it, i thought with every update it would become an amazing tablet, jesus how wrong was i ? The hardware is amazing but OMG RIM have no idea how to make a decent OS.

if this thing ran ICS or JB then it would be really good and useful, i just use my HTC One S for everything now :)

Am I mistaken or is QNX not very similar to a UNIX operating system, which in turn is close to Linux?
[General Questions and Answers] quackquack147:
QNX is identical to UNI* you can get svn access to QNX from sonic foundary. i am just wating for my post count to reach some minimum level so i can post in the developer corner.

i have got 2 Playbook 64 GB each i am getting 3rd one which is second hand. i have done a little bit research on this playbook. and i have posted my results in crackberry forum. looks like so much things needed people who were first interested now backed off.

now i am alone i am trying to port debian to my playbook and also port coreboot into this device.

but i got this nasty post limit which prohibits me.

i got all the relevent source and almost everything i need to carry on with porting. but i am not getting enough support. and the geek talks flies on top of many casual forum members.

i need help here. can i please be allowed to post in the developer section?

thanks

I wish I could help you post there, but you have my support, I'd like to see this happen. I do not have a PB but it would make it more accessible to people who want a cheap (and powerful) tablet.

[General Questions and Answers] quackquack147:
thanks for your concern. i am working on to crack this retarded bootloader, but as of now no success.

the jtag port cant be found with full capability. i am trying other methods.

my internet connection is unstable, hence i cannot make myself avalable in irc. i am expecting the

road reconstruction near my home to be done in another 60 days. so once its done i will go back in

cracking it in full swing.

as of now work is in ultra low slow speed. and i am prepping myself for ccie, to best utilize my time.

i will post when there are updates.

thanks!

-paul

---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 AM ----------

thanks mate,

the issue is not rom building. the issue is circumventing the bootloader restrictions. and as time passes/flies away, i am facing more and more bad news.

rom building is seriously not my headache, its just how to knock off the bootloader aka the IBL (initial bootloader).

i cant find the jtag properly and also the serial console (rs232) which is why i am stuck as hell.

i am trying to dig deep and probe more. but as of now no sucess. but i am trying. this is a very secure device and

finding a loophole is like meeting aliens face to face.

i will keep posted as and when i meet with success. its doable, but certainly not an easy piece of work.

i will get back on this pretty soon and post my findings. till then you can play with something else. because its not easy and i a not yet done with anything. which is worthwhile. and i am hunting and shooting in dark.

thanks!

Alright i really appriciate what you are trying to do for our bbp keep up the work:good:
[General Questions and Answers] zarraza:
Typing on my bbpb and wondered if anyone has anything new to report on an Android port. Bb was purportedly. Working on this but just gave up so it is possible but I'm certain it required an update from bb to unlock the bl.

It's been more than a year since this thread was posted to but someone has to have something on this.

Despite the lackluster sales on the primary market ill bet when they had their fire sale the number of tablets in the wild went up exponentially.

I would have never paid full price for this thing but it was a bargain ago $150 especially for the 64gb model.

Do we need to put a bounty on this?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mikeyinid:
very little. mine got 9 hours today with 1 hour screen on time

Here is one of my own examples that have similar results.

Example 1:

Example 3:

That last one was only down to 37%. Also, web browsing will kill battery faster than certain other things. I keep my screen brightness at around 35% as well. Doesn't need to be any higher than that indoors.

Nice! After having that damn iPhone I got so used to plugging in my phone whenever I am near a charger...I get paranoid whenever it drops below 90% lol. I gotta drop that habit and actually test out what kinda battery life I can get with this thing.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fluxgfx:
Wow the moment I have LTE on... I barely get 10hrs of usage. (Mind you I'm on it all the time and constantly)...

So it's not bad. But will see what happens with LTE off.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mikklethepickle:
Managed to stay off charger for over 3 days 4 hours this weekend, before the phone died earlier today.

Just a little over 2 hours screen time. No LTE. The rapid dip was when I was playing Shadowgun yesterday.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sterz85:
can you guys post the settings you're running to get that type of battery life?

push email? what's sync'ing in the background and are you on LTE?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ealvinito:
That's a problem as you can see??
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ealvinito:

The battery life really is amazing on this thing. Here's some shots I just took.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mobilehavoc:
My phone can't touch that mainly because of LTE. Having LTE on is one thing but I'm in an LTE area so its always on LTE and it kills battery like nothing else. Wish there was a way to turn it off. This sucks.

Ain't it great? There's LTE pretty much EVERYWHERE around here. With my iPhone 4S on HSPA+ I couldn't get any data at all in the city because their network is so bogged down. Couldn't browse the web, could BARELY check facebook... terrible. With the One X and LTE, I have data everywhere and the lowest speed I've recorded so far was still 3mbps. Fricken' awesome.

I am quite happy with my Incipio Edge case from ebay. There was no hole for the indicator LED, but I just *carefully* drilled one with a 1/16" drill bit.

I am on my second case, the first one lasted about 9 months before it cracked around my not-as-carefully drilled hole. I did a better job on the second one.

[Captivate General] davefootball123:
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried a few, favourite is dark knight 5 rom with Icy glitch kernel. It is very smooth and I get about 1700 in quadrant. I see some people get well above 2000 in quadrant. How do the achieve this. I know quadrant isn't really important but just curious on how people got scores like that.

Dave,

Cannot complain about my ROM. Enjoyed it twice - while cooking and while running! :D
[Captivate General] murph187:
Infinitum with Devil kernel 0.55 is by far the most amazing experience I've had on my cappy. And I've tried every rom and kernel config. Second best for me was Slim ICS and then Docs Master ICS v11. For kernels, Devils new i897 kernel blows them away, but semaphore used to be my favorite as it tweaked the most stable. Icy Glitch close behind in third but could be considered second by some for its over locking capability/stability. Keep in mind these are my opinions and what I've tested and works best on my device. Each device will vary.

Sent from my Infinitum ICS Cappy.
[Captivate General] faroid:
Why do people keep saying that each phone runs better on a different kernel or Rom? Aren't they all supposed to be made from the same chips? I don't know which ones my phone like but i know that some work better than others.

Sent from a Captivate using XDA
[Captivate General] nron22:
I would recommend simply aokp.
[Captivate General] leezrd:
because each phone's chips are made slightly different because a dust size difference can make a difference in the phone. It would be impossible to make every chip 100% identacle and cost efficient. Also, between builds there is slight difference that make them different then previous build

Best ROM threads don't last here. The best (fastest, whatever) ROM is the one that runs properly on your phone. Try them on for size and make your choice.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rockstatus90:
So i flashed a new ROM a few days ago and after boot, my screen would not respond to touch. Only physical buttons work, im able to boot into recovery like that and was able to....

Wiped the device, same thing...

flashed a new ROM...same...

.....

Here's the fun part...I decided ok, loose connector. So I open the thing...yes, yes i did...and well everything seems to be intact, nothing loose...so i pull the battery...reboot...SAME!

and well there is no RMA'ing in my future since im unlocked....

....side note i also have the 'green screen camera' thing...

and my docking port is busted (but still charges)...
[HTC Sensation] l2icky:
If you have any requests or want to see results of your own set-up and don't have the time to do it yourself, just shoot me a PM or post here and let me know what set-up you want to see. I'll run the test and post the results. Keep in mind though, results vary device to device.

I don't know how well this will work, but I figured it would be worth a shot as I have not seen something of the same sort.

My hopes are that this thread will help users that are having battery issues or just give them different ideas that may help extend their battery life. Giving them ideas of kernel set-ups with different ROMs as well as what Radio/RIL other members are using as this can cause major battery drains if not set-up properly.

If you decide to post, I would like you to post your set-up prior or at the beginning of your test, then come back and edit your post with the results.

The following information is my current test in progress, however it is also an example of the format I am looking for.

A format similar to this:

ROM: Elegancia ICS 3.7.6

Kernel: Bricked Version 1.1

Radio: 11.72.3504.00U_11.23.3504.08_M2

RIL: HTC-RIL 4.0.0024HMQ

DISH: 3

Screen Brightness: Auto off, lowest setting while indoors/dark, half when outside/running around.

(This is the same that I do for all ROMs I run. I will not be adding it to tests I have done, but it will be added for all future tests.)

ROM Mods:

HQ Camera V1.5 Ultra

Touch_Input_Dusk_Blue_ICS 3.30

Kernel Set-up:

Governor: On-Demand

Maxkhz: 1216000

Minkhz: 192000

MaxScrOff: 432000

GPU OC: Low *(High 320/266) (Low 300/228)

ZRam: Yes *(No)

Additional Information/Settings: Information/settings that have an impact on your kernel/battery such as: V6 Supercharger, Dual-Core Scripting, Any scripting. Under Voltage settings.

Example: Forcing both CPUs online via init.d scripting using System Tuner Pro

Example: V6 Supercharger Scripting.

Example: Dual-Core Script by iba21

*Are other options available, they are not what I am currently using.

Examples are exactly that, I am not using any additional scripting for my current test.

Once your test is completed; simply add something along these lines:

Edit - Results:

Total Time On: 24 hours 19 minutes (9%)

Total Time Screen On: 3 hours 39 minutes.

Usage: Heavy/Moderate/Low Moderate

Optional - Detailed usage: Wifi/Data on the entire time, sync on, XDA, Browsing, texting, calls, music, Pandora.

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions to further improve my format or anything about this post, I am open to any input you may have.

Thanks and I hope this helps other members of the XDA Community.
