[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubzworld:
A couple weeks ago i rooted my Kindle fire. Sadly I had no idea what I was doing. I have gone throught countless troubleshooting forums, programs, KFU, Kindle Fire unbricker. I cant access the SD or much less anything in the device. When i turn it on all that happens is the "Kindle Fire" logo pops up. When i run KFU It says ADB is online but boot status is unknown. I can NOT RUN ADB SHELL and get the error message

- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

I also get the occasionaly running other commands.

Please help me I have no idea what I'm doing.

Was your kindle version 6.x or 10.x? First answer this and then I can help you.

I THINK it was 6.2.2

I got it in January of 2012 and never updated it.

That's a KF1. You'll need a factory cable since you don't have access to the shell in order to change bootmodes.

I posted this because surprisingly I have not seen this post for our nexus 4. Thank this awesome guy from xda for creating this for all devices!!! Here's the link to his post and also here's some snapshots ;)

Oh if you didn't know you can pinch to zoom to do this awesome zoom effect. Try it out!! You have to flash through twrp or cwm. It will install the xperia launcher as well so if you want that aligned perfectly you have to edit your build prop. How to do that?

Easy!!

1st download es file explorer (its free)

2nd when you open es file explorer hit the menu key and tap settings

3rd scroll all the way down and click root settings and check all the boxes.

Now that you've done that, hit back until you get to a sign that pops up and says "press again to exit" then don't exit obviously.. You've just got full access to your files!! Meaning be careful which system files you touch! You only need to modify one. Trust me. It sounds hard but is a lot less complicated. Simply navigate to system/ then go all the way down to build.prop. simply tap on it and click es note editor. Then locate " ro.sf.lcd_density=320" then simply change the 320 to 340 and save. It will automatically create a back up build prop for you. Here's where you really need to watch out. Make sure after your done editing and saving your build.prop you TAP AND HOLD build.prop and scroll all the way down to properties and tap it. Then tap change and check all the boxes on the left and below write tap the top middle box. If your confused I posted a pic below... What your are doing here is setting permission to the file you just modified. Then now that you just set permission your good to reboot!!! After you reboot you just flash jb gapps and clear cache and dalvik cache. And your launcher is perfectly set. If you did not fix permissions the way the pic looks you won't boot up at all you'll only be able to fastboot. That's why I say its important to follow step by step. Also the reason I say flash gapps is because if you don't you won't be able to install certain apps in the play store (it'll say device not compatible). No more misaligned launcher!! If your don't like the launcher simply use titanium backup to remove it or search through file explorer. Bye all!!

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Visa Declined:
If I remember from the Nexus 7 forums correctly, changing your build prop will cause future Android update to fail during installation. This looks awesome though.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] coldcrush390:
It may cause problems with installation with modified changes

But that would just require you to go back to stock with our recovery tool. I never update my ROM straight through a custom rom. Or simply use your "back up build.prop" that I mentioned es explorer does automatically for you and rename that back up back to build.prop then delete modified build.prop. Of course always make sure you set your permissions even on the back up !

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] KurlyK:
I won a new Galaxy Note 2 of ebay.

The description it had was a Samsung T889 T Mobile Note 2. The only problem is that several different system/speed tests indicates it has a ARMv7 quad core processor. I thought all Note 2s had which is the Exynos Quad 1.6. My speed tests are a lot slower.

Did I just get a fake? I need to two report this to Ebay if that's the case
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] auraofjason:
The galaxy note 2 does use an ARMv7 processor, aka ARM Cortex-A9, aka Exynos 4 Quad, aka Exynos 4412.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] KurlyK:
Okay, didn't know that. Thank you for clarifying.

Something just doesn't seem right about it though. I got a white case, but black spen. This guy I bought it from also deals in a lot of Chinese products/toys, etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkshado:
Check out a couple of reviews on Youtube and the like.

If you're still in doubt, upload a few pictures (don't forget to blank out your IMEI) and we'll have a look.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] KurlyK:
I've called Tmobile and Samsung -- both verified the IMEI was good but didn't know anything about the processor/memory aspect. So I took a screenshot of some CPU/RAM information. It was that infamous SMDK4x12 that doesn't tell you if it's a full quad processor or not. Plus the system storage only shows 1.72GB of RAM vs. the 2GB that I thought Tmobile T889 phones were supposed to have. Then there's the ARMv7 processor vesus the 1.6 GHz Exynos 4412 that I thought Note 2's were supposed to have.

I've attached a screenshot of what I'm trying to convey. I'm thinking this is a very, very clever clone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xcrazydx:
You're funny.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] KurlyK:
No, really. Is this a good fake? The processor speeds don't match up and they don't use the same processor. I'm also not able to register the phone on Samsung. Only the IMEI has checked out which I understand can be duplicated. When I put the IMEI into www.imei.info , it comes back with an old Nokia clam shell phone.

So seriously, is this legit?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vibey101:
Internal storage, memory, and processor all check out. Doesn't seem fake
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scyke:
The exynos 4412 processor in the note 2 is an ARMv7 cpu clocked at 1.6GHz. Also the RAM is 2GB not the system storage. And you still wouldn't get the full 2GB due to part of it being reserved for the OS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] KurlyK:
Thanks all. I was just concerned about how it came with the wrong color stylus, benchmark tests weren't as fast and not knowing about the processor. I've been scammed once on a North Face jacket that I don't want repeated! :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Markor13:
No worries you are good, I don't think you got scammed at all...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] KurlyK:
No app, just a screenshot from a benchmark tester (Antutu)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] KurlyK:
Good deal -- just wanted to make sure. Weird the wrong color pen was in there....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Markor13:
My wife and I got the Note 2's the day they came out from a corporate T Mobile store. I got titanium grey and she got white, we didn't even realize it until we got home that her I Spen was the Spen for the titanium grey phones it actually came that way from the factory. Mistakes happen if you got the phone sealed it could be the same situation my wife was in, if it was not sealed he could have possibly lost the original one and replaced replaced it and then filed to put it in the description.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jaekidd1012:
Just to clarify, the Samsung Exynos 4412 Quad that powers the Galaxy Note II is based on the ARM Cortex A9 reference design. The 'ARMv7' you see refers to the instruction set of the processor.

Hopefully this article can explain things in great enough detail for you but suffice it to say that, from what we can tell, you indeed have a genuine Galaxy Note II. Congrats and enjoy! :)

Is anyone else having problems with voice typing not working. I remember when i could use the voice typing non stop, because i could do it while i was driving and the accuracy was amazing. Now when ever i try to use it I get an error that google servers couldn't be reached and it doesn't matter what my state of service is. It's gone days at a time not working and then it might work for 5-10 minutes and then it won't work again for days. Any thoughts?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neozengar:
So the power button of my nexus is not working, I tried to turn it on with the removing/inserting battery while plugged to a USB cable. Initially, I still see the battery charging animation while the phone is off and connected to the charger. After I removed/insert the battery for the 3rd time, nothing come on the screen anymore. I also noticed that when the phone is plugged in for a while(more than 20 minutes), the phone itself get hot but the battery does not.

Can someone please give me some clues what might be the problems?

Check out Apple's new patent.

Doesn't every phone have lockscreen shortcuts?

I mean I love how they say it's "new technology"
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
Apple created Adam and Eve and therefore has a patent on anything they create.
[HTC Droid DNA] madzozs:
It says a new patent that allows access to apps from the iPhone lock screen specifically.
[HTC Droid DNA] zone23:
So my question is why hasn't the other manufactures already patented it? If they would have this crap wouldn't happen. Guess thats the problem with open source. Google and the patent office need to fix this. I don't care that Apple wants that for their phones but to patent something already being used is just BS.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
Apple sues everyone for copying them, but as soon as they copy something that has been in android forever it's ok right... Honestly apple is just ridiculous in general. The interface is just easier for people and thats why the iphone is so popular, most people who own the iphone think its the best when the specs are lacking so far behind android. Thats why I have convinced two of my friends to get android phones after they both had iphones. They both like android better and said that the potential and things you can do on android is so much better. All those apple fan boys think their stuff is the best:) Maybe someone will sue them and give them a taste of their own medicine :)
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Them filing a patent doesn't mean it will be approved. They attempt to patent just about everything they do, on the off chance it gets approved.
[HTC Droid DNA] Ndaoud360:
Well it said it was published. Doesn't that mean approved or am I mistaken?

Apple is on the way out. Why do you think Apple stock has fallen 40 percent in the last 6 months? People like preference and android is mature. Apple is far behind the competition.

[HTC Droid DNA] drumz0rz:
As much as I love to bash Apple until they're a nice warm cider I don't think I can agree that Apple is "on the way out". I think what we're seeing instead is the market shifting.

Apple for the past decade has targeted Innovators and Early Adopters offering Luxury goods. As the smart phone industry (specifically the always connected mini-computer touch screen phones we're used to now) matures margins fall and competition increases. iPhones used to be status symbols, and they still can be, however they've become so common place that they've lost a lot of their marginal utility.

Google, Samsung, HTC, LG, Motorola, even Sony have all stepped up their game on a united Android front. The brilliance of Android for Google that I suspect, is that the competition between Android devices (Samsung GS4 v. HTC One for example) improves the Android offering with tons of new features and brand visibility. I know for a fact that Android is regularly sipping away the iPhone's market share.

Returning to my point, Android has always operated with a model adopted from classic handset sales. Margins are fairly low, but, due largely in part by the free cost of Android to the developers, they're able to offer phones at affordable prices that match or exceed Apple's iPhone. Apple always tries to maintain that their products are different and superior to the competition. In fact, they rarely even acknowledge that there is competition and I do believe that this (over)confident stance has helped them maintain their market share and unique identity.

iPhones arguably lag behind Android's top offerings these days. No NFC, No Wireless charging, no HD screen, etc. I don't believe iPhones really hold the public perception of being superior to the competition anymore. Apple is struggling to keep it's market share and I think it's operating on a model that is unsustainable. Think of it this way.

When it comes time to replace a Macbook Pro, most users will grab the latest MBP without even thinking about it. When it comes time to replace their iPhone though, more and more people are considering, and switching to Android.
[HTC Droid DNA] booked:
patents simply limit innovation. They limit what manufacturers can do with their devices.
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
I suspect you've never invented anything.
[HTC Droid DNA] androidbuff123:
What the OP fails to disclose (and I don't know if any one of you bothered to do the research).. was that this patent was filed way back in 2011 by Apple. Also, the functionality in question is a little bit more involved than just merely accessing apps from lockscreen.

Apple is the most valuable company in the world.. if you want to believe into the 24x7 anti-apple propaganda.. by all means do so. But that is not gonna deter apple or tech enthusiasts who value what apple has to offer.
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
Apple and the whole iphone phenomenon annoy the sh**t out of me... I don't know why, it's only a phone. Such a stupid thing to get so annoyed about. But it's true. Every time they add a new feature to the iphone, everyone acts as if it's groundbreaking and it's a huge f***ing deal. And then you have those iPhone owners that are still convinced that owning an iPhone makes them "unique" as if they haven't noticed that everyone else has the same exact phone as them. Android as an os is better in every way and so is the hardware current phones use. And yet I use their products because I have to. I use osx and have an ipad strictly because I require the software. Were it not for that, I would probably be sticking Linux and Android.
[HTC Droid DNA] Grimmity:
All I can say is that I give Apple credit where it's deserved, otherwise I completely dislike any product they produce. Plus, iPhone's and iPads do have there place in the world..... like for my Mother to use.
[HTC Droid DNA] kaliblazin707:
Exactly. I have 0 issue with Apple other than their legal dept. They create a smooth, easy to use product. Polished, refined, it works. The retina display is truely remarkable.
[HTC Droid DNA] MsEvyLynch:
Actually their retina displays are made by samsung. So you can't really give apple credit there. They just buy them from samsung. According to what I heard.
[HTC Droid DNA] Zarboz:
Under a no distribution clause Samsung solely sells the "retina" display to apple..

Apple just outsourced to save $ on a specialty product
[HTC Droid DNA] MsEvyLynch:
Wait I Googled and Ipads display is made by samsung and iphone/ipod/macbook display made by LG
[HTC Droid DNA] kaliblazin707:
Actually Samsung n LG just manufacture these products. 'Retina' display is just a marketing term used by apple to discribe pixle density+viewing distance needed to make individual pixles impossible to discern with the human eye or retina. Its core tech is no different than a standard LCD..http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/44728/what-exactly-is-a-retina-display
[HTC Droid DNA] Tag798:
As much as I hate to admit it, the retina display is actually an ips lcd. Ips displays give much nicer colors and are much brighter than normal lcd displays but, use much more battery. They also are more visible in direct sunlight than normal lcd displays and leaps and bounds better than amoled displays. LG is the only android manufacturer that puts ips displays in their devices and of you compare them to lcd or amoled devices they just more bright and vivid. Also, I can distinguish the stuck pixels in my 440 ppi dna even with my arm completely stretched out so, their "retina diaplay" claim is bs.
[HTC Droid DNA] kaliblazin707:
My point exactly. They coined "Retina" not the tech behind it.
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
Interesting. I have noticed that the iPhone seems easier to look at in the sun than my DNA. I can't use my phone in the sun at all, period. It's actually pretty irritating.

[HTC Droid DNA] cowisland:
I also, as a lot of people, do not approve of Apple legal strategy as it appears to suppress competition more than to protect some real innovation. That calls for an update to our copyright laws.

My main gripe with Apple is another way it restricts competition by bundling everything into one offering, including content distribution. Right now they are making a killing on selling the iPhone, but eventually their margins on the hardware will be eroded by the likes of Android. Apple is positioning for that future by enforcing their iTunes store on Apple users by banning others. So iOS is similar to kindle fire in a sense that it is attached to a specific store.

I believe competition produces the best outcome for consumers. I want to be able to use any store, format, app etc that I like. The fact that Apple gets to decide what I can and cannot do with *my* phone rubs me the wrong way.

On the flip side, iPhone is a very good phone, with good battery life, screen, frame rates, etc. But for me these do not outweigh the thought that Apple owns the phone (rather than user) and abuses that power to rip off the user by pushing their content store and who knows what else.

Your problem is likely the fact that viper has a huge brightness bug. To test, set brightness manually. If you see no change in brightness as you increase the slider from ~60% to 100%, then viper is your issue.
[HTC Droid DNA] LilTechPrincess:
The fact of the matter is that there is a fundamental personality difference in most Apple and Android users. Android users tend to be far more technically inclined over Apple users, and tend to be "tinkerers". Apple users are more of the "I just want to be able to check my email and read the news" types. They typically find themselves confused and lost when presented with options, or when required to make decisions. They like that they are "different" like everyone else.
[HTC Droid DNA] kaliblazin707:
Apple makes a smooth, polished, easy-to-use product. I don't hate on apple other than their legal strategy. Heck, my home pc even has a version of OSx on it.(dual, well tripple?? Boot with ubuntu)
[HTC Droid DNA] Grimmity:
Those are usually correct stereotypes, but I have known a few tech guys who just have too many toys to tinker with and buy an iPhone so it stops them from tinkering with one more object. Doesn't make sense to me, but there are those types too
[HTC Droid DNA] kaliblazin707:
You can hack an iPhone too
[HTC Droid DNA] eakeller:
You can't patent something that's out in common usage already. It's called "prior art", generally used to show you didn't come up with the idea. Whatever their angle, Apple's patent application can't be as simple as "lock screen shortcuts".
[HTC Droid DNA] Grimmity:
Hahah I know. As I said, doesn't make sense to me, it was just the explanation I've been given before
[HTC Droid DNA] eakeller:
Categorizing and attempting to belittle any group of people based on a single trait is precisely the path to not only exposing one's own ignorance, but also to starting non-productive holy wars. The truth is yes, some people aren't intimately familiar with their phone's innards and such. 99% of the world couldn't give a rat's @ss about the processor or RAM on their phone, much less the skin or which version of iOS they're running or if they're having too many wakelocks in a given span of time. This says absolutely nothing about one's abilities in other areas except to expose the fact that one person's priorities are different than someone else's.

As an aside, it seems I am having too d@mn many wakelocks.....and it's hindering my ability to make phone calls. Anyone feel like coding an entirely new kernel? :cool:
