Hi all, I'm new here and currently I have o2 xda IIs device.

First of all I'm sorry if this topic posted before (I did try search but couldn't find the answer :) )

I see that the main memory is divided into "Storage" and "Program"

Here's my memory allocation structure:

Storage - 54.07 MB (31.92 MB in use)

Program - 71.70 MB (21.18MB in use)

And here are my questions:

1. What is the contents in storage? (I'm still trying to figure out the purpose of the internal storage inside main memory).

2. What's eating the space (31.92 MB in use) in the storage of main memory?

3. Is there any ways to make the memory allocation more efficient?

Currently using Shipped o2 Asia 1.40 ROM.

All help will be appreciated, thank you in advance.

Streaming music or pictures over wifi to my lg 55lm620s works like a charm, but everytime i choose a video i recorded it says it cannot be played, error 714. The TV can handle mp4 hd videos easily, so that cant be the problem. Anyone here had the same issue?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zimilaci:
Well, as I read on other forums the TV itself has problems with the edited mp4 files, (maybe thats the case here as well) but some mp4 files are played without any problem.

I would recommend you to update the TV's firmware; or try another TV if its possible... I bet one of your buddies has other kind of Smart TV (samsung maybe)

So I guess its your TV's limitation.

Should I wait till refurbished Nexus 7 comes out?

I heard refurbs tend to have almost no defect (are they actually?) and are cheaper (Since I am buying it in US and asking my relative to ship it to my house in abroad right away, defects are crucial issues for me.)

Or do you think waiting is not worth it?

Also can you guys recommend me what would be considered as good price for the new Nexus 7? (tell me all 4 for refurb and new; 16 GB and 32GB eg, new 16GB can be said to be a good buy under $200)

Note that some of the failures don't happen immediately.

Personally, unless you can easily return or exchange a defective one, either look elsewhere for now or wait for the refurbs.

Bad part is that they can't refurbish something if they don't know what to fix, and that's exactly where Google/ASUS appears to be right now.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pigmeus86:
Hello there. I've been searching for any info about the firmware updates and its relation with operators, regions, etc. Yet, layman in the subject as I am, I can't completely understand this simple question: "Why can't I update my firmware to the last one?"

I'm stuck at .257 and tried both PC Companion and OTA update method. My device always says I'm up to date. First I though the last firmware (2.245) wasn't availabe to my country (Brazil, btw), but when I checked the Sony brazilian page, written in my native language, it said that 2.245 was the last one and availabe, but I simply can't update to this version.

So, any of you guys can help me understand why this is happening? Might be a problem with my device? Perhaps something related to my operator?

And the last, but maybe the more important atm: For a common user like me, who don't care much about pictures and want to root the phone just to move apps to SDcard and hide on-screen button bar, worth updating to the last firmware?

Thanks in advance. Also sorry for any bad grammar.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
Sometimes if phone was brought through airtime provider they need to add or subtract apps to new update. You can use tools like flashtools to flash ftf files to your device without worry of breaking/bricking etc as you can change the language from within the settings.

I would always root the phone no matter what the phone can can't do as you can add/delete what you want. To root follow doomlords tut found on dev pages of Sp forum.

I am of the mind set the more up to date the better,if you don't like you can always reflash a older ftf file.

Hope this helps
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pigmeus86:
Oh... Thats good news! Now I only need to know exactly the right order of the things. Correct me, please.

1 - Root 257

2 - Flash 245

3 - Root again?

I'm pretty new at this things, I'm aware of a large number os tutos here, but just want to be sure about the order of steps I must take. Thanks for your attention.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parkside:
yes, but

1.5 - install cwm for locked bootloader and there's no need to root again (in fact as of yet 245 cannot be rooted directly)

Just to echo what has been said, the roll out for updates can take a while, Sony releases to regions at different times and then each operator in the region has to allow the update
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
If you follow the how to root guide for 2.245 by doomlord you are only flashing the kernel not the whole ROM.

When you start up flashtools just spend a few moments to familiarise yourself with it,if you have never used before.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pigmeus86:
Thanks for the asnwers.

I just gor a bit confused with this "1.5" step. From what I understand, I should follow and old 257 root guide, install CWM, then flash the 2.245 (Via this CWM? Sorry if I'm saying something nonsense), then I'm done? I don't get the CWM thing. Anyway, thanks for the tips.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bartmw:
It depents how you want to nake.

First metod tft:

1 download. 245 tft file.

2 flash using flashtool.

Now you got official 245 software.

If you want to you can root using method for .245 firmware.

Second method CMW.

1 root your phone using. 257 method.

2 instal CMW.

3 download any zip firmware.

4 instal by CWM.

Now don't want to root or root working - flash. 245 kernel using flashtool.

You want root - use root method for. 245 no need to flash 257 kernel just run exploit.

Hope that will explain roughly what to do.

Good luck.

What is best and fastest method to import xml into dataset?

At the moment I am using dataSet.ReadXmlSchema(schema.xml) and dataSet.ReadXml(file.xml)... however for large files it takes a while..

For example.. to import file with 1,900 lines (880,000 length) takes 2 minutes.

and to import file with 28,000 lines (10,400,000 length) takes 15 minutes

The end goal is to import all that data into SQL CE database...

Is there some way that I can speed this up?

Hi all,

i am a relatively new nexus 4 owner. loving the buttery smoothness and amazing battery life with stock rom, loving it more with sentinel rom.

so the thing is, i wish to protect my device against theft. in the case it does happen, i would want to be able to retrieve it.

read online reviews about cerberus and find it wonderful! just the app i need...until i realized something. what if the first thing the thief did was to power off the nexus 4 instead of attempting to crack the pin? wouldn't that kinda render the anti-theft app useless? still pretty new with this so please correct me if i am wrong :)

having said that, is there a way to prevent unauthorized shutdown of nexus 4? like prompting of pin before user will be allowed to shut down the device.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
He can shut it down all he wants. But he won't be able to boot it up to use it. You'll have enough time to take a picture of him using the app by then.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chainer22:
what if, for some reason, the thief decided to not use it but just keep it (weird thief i know), he can just power down and there will be no way the cerberus will be able to take a pic through the "wrong pin" method.

so there's no way one can pin lock the power down, reboot processes?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
No one steals a phone to make it an expensive paperweight lol. But you're being too paranoid on it, he probably isn't that smart if he's stealing a smartphone knowing that it can always be traced. If not by cerberus, then by Google device admin.

I've thought about the same thing when a friend of mines phone was stolen. Couldn't call or locate it cuz it was turned off. Use uXylon ROM (4.2.2), Dirty Unicorns ROM (4.2.2), or PAC ROM (4.3). They have a power menu option that let's u hide the power off and reboot options during the lock screen.

I'd be interested in being able to not have the Power Menu come up on the lock screen too... I'm just on rooted stock right now.

Yes it might make me feel a little better about it getting stolen, but I do understand about the long hold which will still work.

- I have tried to use adb shell "idme bootmode 4000" buti get /sbin/sh: idme not found

- I have tried adb shell nbmode but with the same result

- The rest of the solutions were for linux users.

Well, if you can get into recovery, that's a good thing.

I had this problem a couple of days ago. I had tried to revert from Chameleon OS back to the stock OS by flashing Haschode's stock OS zip, which resulted in the issue you described. I fixed it by restoring from a back up of ChaOS o had made, and it got me out of TWRP.

You could try re-flashing Hashcode's stock OS (it comes pre-rooted). It can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2218475

To move it on to your SD card, go to "Advanced" in TWRP and select "ADB Sideload," or something to that effect. Then from your PC, use a command window and enter "adb sideload name\of\zip.zip"

I don't remember if you have to wipe anything or not before you flash it :confused:

Hope this helped:)

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crossvxm:
Lol same thing happened to me when I flashed TWRP and 2nd BL. So basically, your in a boot loop. Don't worry you didn't do anything wrong, its just that the stock Kindle OS now hates us because we modified something. So here's what's gonna need to be done. You have TWRP, your all set to flash anything you want! But, you have no custom rom in there correct? My same mistake. Those are all easy fixes, the problem is playing with the KFHD7 drivers on your computer to detect your device 100% while its connected and on TWRP. I can't remember how I got mine to detect it, if I'm not mistaking I unisntalled ALL associated drivers, then reinstalled the ones provided for the rooting process WITH THE DEVICE STILL CONNECTED, then manually updating the driver to those installed drivers in C:/Program Files/Amazon/Kindle Fire. Once its installed, you would need to check by opening a command prompt with ADB, then check for devices by typing "ADB getdevices" if I'm not mistaking and see if some serial numbers show up. Then push the files thru ADB. If you wanna cheat your way thru ADB cause you don't know how to use it properly, do what I used to do. Download the Nexus 7 toolkit, install it, go to the folder where installed and create a shortcut for "tkmain.exe" to your desktop. Then open that and a green text command looking menu is in your view. If serials appear on the top, device is detected thru TWRP. If not keep playing with installing the drivers while in TWRP and refresh the green menu by using option 27 (type 27, then hit enter). Once those serials show up, download the custom ROM you want your mom to have. I recommend CM10.1 as its a small file, stabler than CM10.2, and its basically jellybean. Remember the folder where the Nexus 7 Toolkit was installed, where I first mentioned to make a shortcut for tkmain? Go back to that folder and look for a folder called "put files to push here". Throw the ROM there. Rename the ROM something short and with few or no symbols. When that's done, your ready to push it. Go to the wonderful green menu thingy, type 13 and hit enter. Then it will have two options. Type 2, hit enter. It will ask if your using an insecure bla bla bla. Type yes, hit enter. Then it should show the name of the ROM you threw in the folder, type it out exactly as spelled, hit enter. Push to /sdcard/. Some crap will appear and say "remount failed: Success" ignore that, don't panic, that's good. For a while nothing will show, but afterwards words should appear confirming the push, and Two last questions your gonna type no to. Now your ready to bring moms new device back to life! If you know how to flash a rom, do it. If not, swipe to wipe dalvik cache in Wipe menu, go back, Install > search SD card for your file and flash. Tada! You should see CM logo after the blue Kindle Fire logo and wait til the screen dims more or less, that means your a few seconds away from getting to touch. Remember to start it up, then flash GAPPS so mom can have Google Play, I'm sure she's gonna love Candy Crush Saga as mine does.

Hi,

I have the same problem as AAron Belle, I think:

I followed the

"[REF] Installing Kindle Fire HD 7" 2nd-Bootloader + TWRP Complete Tutorial" till step 3.

I wanted to stop at step3 after installing 2nd bootloader and TWRP, without installing any custom ROMS.

I succeeded in the sense I don't have any red screen and the Kindle Fire HD 7 boots in TWRP (Screen Kindle fire in orange, then in blue, then TWRP).

But I can't find a way to boot anymore in the stock system (amazon).

I try to use a factory cable, but without success.

I would like to keep the 2nd bootloader and TWRP that I just installed, and as a first step use them in the amazon environnment.

Is there something I can do (not too complicated, I'm a noob!) ?

Thank you in advance,

You can use "adb sideload" or "adb push" from a command prompt while plugged into your kindle in twrp and put a new ROM on it, like stock amazon, kinology, cm 10.1 or 10.2, etc.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crossvxm:
Try the solution I mentioned above you. I'm no rocket scientist, or an android expert, just picked up a thing or two from experience. If I can do it you can as well. That's why I mentioned the toolkit I used. It may be for the Nexus 7 but it does the same adb commands used for all androids for you. That way if your not an adb expert you can use that. As I said, your first goal is to get your computer to properly detect the device while in TWRP, your stock kindle OS is just doing what it does best when simple modifications are done.

Jeanphi
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crossvxm:
Depends on if the stock ROM is rooted, although usually, the answer is yes since messing around with things like overclocking and so on is always one of the reasons people seek to achieve root. If your going to flash this stock ROM, obviously only possible thru TWRP so yes you'll still have TWRP + 2nd BL. If your going to do the headachey fastboot restore, (not recommended at this point) then no. I've never gotten ADB sideload working, but either way I prefer pushing a rom to the internal SD and just installing.

Thank you for answers. I think I will my first attempt to flash a Rom, through TWRP.

Nevertheless, before doing that I might try to understand and use your first answer, as my Amazon 7.4.6 must still be on the system and this is just a question of access to it.

Jeanphi
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crossvxm:
Once you flash any, there is no recovering the last stock you had, in this case, 7.4.6. This is lost for all of us. Now I haven't yet researched if there is a way to completely revert back to stock (as in removing the TWRP, 2nd boot loader and any other mods), but if there were, that's the way to go back to 7.4.6. However, no matter what ROM you toss on your device, any objects you may have had saved to your SD are still found as long as you don't delete em thru twrp. Remember before tossing in a rom, in the Wipe section, just swipe to factory reset, then go back and Install the zip from your storage.
