Let's see what comes up
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] ragesoss:
I got a notice from eBay that the listing was removed. :-/
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] sater2006:
Same here and then?
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] ragesoss:
Well, mine was marked shipped, so I get to wait until after the expected delivery date, and if it doesn't come I can try to get my money back from PayPal.

Anyone received it yet??

How about ouya? I have one and I think its awesome. Tegra3, 8gb internal memory, full size USB port, xda section and 1gb ram.

You can get one from bestbuy or GameStop in USA. Sadly eBay is the only choice elsewhere.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] c0nvict:
Yes, this means that the m******r f*******r is a scammer. I had ordered an mk908 with rc11 remote and a minix neo x5, now the listing is removed and he is no longer a member of ebay. My item was marked shipped too but i'm not going to wait. Where do i make a dispute? to paypal or to ebay? Thanks
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] leezrd:
Paypal the sooner the better

Edit: if I'm correct you have to wait till after expected shipping date then pay to return item.. Depending on where shipped from might be more expensive than cost of item
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] c0nvict:
I won't have to send anything back because the f****r is no longer a member of ebay
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] ragesoss:
I'm reserving judgment until after the expected arrival date. Given that the user had close to 500 feedback, I'm still hoping they just violated some random eBay policy, or PayPal flagged their account for just on the basis of volume, or some other reason. But if not, it's not like we didn't know this was a risky purchase, and it should be possible to get refunded eventually.
[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] c0nvict:
I can't get refunded for the minix neo x5 because it was listed in the vehicles category and ebay buyer protection doesn't work there

Hi all,

I am running ViperOne, since the beginning, and over the last few weeks I have been noticing a lot of lag, especially when using Chrome.

I am now using clean master to clear the RAM every few days but I was wondering if anyone else knows of a more "automatic" solution?

Are there any other apps that are good for this?

Cheers,

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllAboutTheCore:
Try a different ROM. Personally I don't like ViperOne one bit, far too many extra apps bloating it and an over complex tweak system which is just pure overkill IMO.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] happysteveo:
Thanks for that. Which ROM do you prefer for economical RAM purposes?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iwillruletheworld:
It appears as if [MENTION=4911359]AllAboutTheCore[/MENTION] is using Andriod Revolution HD (ARHD). I have been using that ROM as well since 2 days after I got my One. I have never had any RAM issues with it and any system issues that came out with the builds have been fixed quickly. It is a fairly stock ROM with some nice tweaks on it that help things like power consumption. You can head here to check it out...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Etnoscope:
How it all happened:

Regular day for the nexus, had just flashed 4.3 PA, twrp recovery on, stock PA kernel.

put xlouder and franco kernel on

boot to recovery

flash franco

flash xlouder

wipe cache/dalvik

reboot.

its stuck at the google logo and the unlocked locker locky thing there

things i've tried to fix it:

reflash kernel

reflash rom

reflash rom and gapps and all that

wipe, factory reset, flash, all of those, all the combinations i could think of, it still wouldn't boot.

as i saw the situation i thought only 2 things are to be done, try some other rom and if not odin flash.

i tried adb sideload, i couldn't get through with it

i tried to flash 4.2.2 rom found in a thread for unbricking gnexuses, i did it without any issues whatsoever

but it STILL wouldn't boot.

so i figured my partitions should be messed up, tried flashing with pit and still no success to boot.

now, seeing how i tried pretty much everything in the book, what other options do i have besides selling it somehow, or using it as a coaster?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrgnex:
Factory image via fastboot. If that doesn't help omap flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Etnoscope:

In TWRP, hit install button, then in the directory hit the 'up one directory' (or it voted be a '/' i can't recall) at the top of the list to go back to the root folder, there you can choose 'external storage' or similar to access your sd card.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] b00st4ddicted:
Hi All,

Just switched from S4 to the ONE. Everything is great except for one thing that I've noticed. I don't mind the stock keyboard, but I prefer Swype a lot better. I installed Swype and chose it as default keyboard, however, upon reboot, the keyboard switched back to the stock keyboard. Anyone else experiencing this? If so, how did you fix this issue and choose the default keyboard as there is no option under settings and Language and Keyboards
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Whi7eRa66iT:
I also had this problem and it looks like Swype is aware of it and are looking for the fix...

In the mean time.. After the reboot, open any method of typing ( I use the txt message window to any recent contact ) and once the keyboard is displayed, pull down the bar from the top (that has the time stamp). You will see a Choose input method box. Click on it and Select the Swype - Swype + Dragon option and you are back up and running. Happy swyping.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BaBnkr:
I switched to the Google keyboard because this was annoying me about Swype. I think the Google keyboard is actually better at swiping in general... Except punctuation. I also use "*" often and it's buried on the Swype keyboard.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] pilot85:
If it's not too much can you take a screenshot? :D

still trying to decide to get this phone and i forgot to check this when i was at the verizon store.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] chip.hughes:
First select the keyboard of your choice, disable fast boot (settings, power) reboot, check that you still have the desired keyboard, enable fast boot. It should persist after that.
[Google Chromecast] Medicstud007:
I have just received a chromecast in its box. How can I tell what firmware is on the device? If it is still original firmware I'd like to root it. I didn't see this question posted elsewhere.
[Google Chromecast] HowardZ:
You must not allow the chromecast to connect to a wifi ssid / network which has Internet.

In my case, I had an old asus (dd-wrt) router laying around. I powered it up with nothing plugged into it. No rj45 cat 5/6 cables connected. Switched my phone wifi to this wireless ssid network. Ran the chromecast app, it found the chromecast, set up the chromecast to use this no Internet network by selecting it & typing in the router's password. After setting up the chromecast, the app shows the firmware version as being 12072.

If you allow the chromecast to connect to a wifi network which has Internet, then it will quickly auto update to a firmware version which can not currently be rooted

It's tucked away a little in the chromecast app, but this should help some.

[Google Chromecast] mrdelriego:
Dying to know my fw version

Hello,

I've thoroughly read the instructions on how to root my Chromecast. Right after buying it, I set it up and I'm pretty much sure it got the official updates... so I ran to Best Buy to exchange it for a new one.

From thread comments, I know I have a shot at it having a vulnerable bootloader, now my problem is that OTG cables don't seem to exist where I live and I might have to go to Best Buy again to get one (long trip for a cable). Before I do that, I want to be certain that it'll work, but I cannot find where to see the build number. I somehow cannot get to the screen from the pictures.

I'm trying to set it up with a router that has no internet. Since this was a recommended method to check the build number, I thought it was possible, but so far I'm stuck with a message saying that ChromecastXXX connected to yournetwork, but cant access the internet..

At first I thought they had removed that from the Chromecast app, but I have installed the two older apks with the same results.

Could anyone tell me which step I'm missing?

I thought maybe I had this issue, but it's old and I was able to set up the previous Chromecast flawlessly.
[Google Chromecast] BurnOmatic:
keep on trying to make it connect even though there is no internet eventually it will give up and give you the number, thats who i got mine, it will say Chromecast XXX connected to network but cant access internet, and fail but then if you keep going it will eventually show you the build number.
[Google Chromecast] mrdelriego:
ugh I did but it just times out and comes back to the same message. Perhaps it is a sign of a new firmware.
[Google Chromecast] BurnOmatic:
it will work dude eventually it will say that it went through even though clearly you havent got internet, and it will show the version number on the app , i did it through my pc not through the phone.
[Google Chromecast] mrdelriego:
Thanks!. Got it working now. Somehow it never worked at home but I tried it at work where internet is filtered through mac addresses and that did the trick. Unfortunately it has an updated bootloader.
[Google Chromecast] guy4jesuschrist:
Not sure how much this will help, but I just went to Best Buy to return the 2nd Chromecast I had bought, since it came with a firmware newer than 12072. When I had purchased my first one, I hadn't done any research on rooting a Chromecast yet, and unfortunately allowed it to receive Google's OTA update. Before returning it, I took a picture of the serial number, pictured below. Tonight I decided to just get a refund at first, but then decided to take one third and final stab at getting one with a vulnerable bootloader. Thankfully, I kept the picture of the first one's serial number, and used it to compare against all of the Chromecasts that Best Buy had in stock. I only found one that began with "390...", since my originally purchased one began with "3901...". I live about an hour away from the closest Best Buy, so I decided to ask someone in Geek Squad if I could test it out to make sure it had the old firmware on it. He checked with someone else and was given the go ahead. We didn't plug it into the HDMI port, but he allowed me to plug it in to the USB port on a TV. Using the powered OTG micro USB cable I got in the mail today and a FlashCast drive I had created, I held the Chromecast button down and plugged the micro USB cable into the Chromecast. I waited to see if it the red light would go away after about 9 seconds, and VOILA, it did. I'll soon officially test it out on my TV so that I can see if the FlashCast logo comes up on the screen, and I will report back.

EDIT: Sorry for the delay in reporting back. Looks like the 3rd time was a charm, and the Chromecast I purchased last finally worked. So it looks like it's safe to at least assume that Chromecasts with serial numbers that begin with at least "390", with a range between "3901..." and "3907..." may have vulnerable bootloaders. Not to say this is the end all be all if figuring this out, but the guesswork might be if some use for now, until all the old stock gets sold completely.

I picked up 2 chromecast's over the weekend from Best Buy (Mall of America). The first one had a 3Axxxxxxxx SN and was at 12940. :( The second one was a 39xxxxxx and was at 12072. :)

Versions with 12072 are still out there. Look for CC's with SN starting with 39 or 37.

[Google Chromecast] yamus08:
I can verify that 3904 "should" have the original firmware. Spent an hour looking for one, and another 45 minutes making sure that the Wifi, and my phone had no internet connection to them, and then trying to get it to connect fully, so I could see the firmware version. As soon as I switched from using the Chromecast app on my OG RAZR, to using it on my Nexus 7(2), it connected right away .It was the only one they had in the Best Buy near me, that was even close as far as serial numbers go. Time to get my brick..uhh. I mean, unlock on :p

Greetings:

I'm trying to connect without updating since I just got my CC but to no avail since yesterday!!

I'm doing the "no internet router" option but don't even see the "home screen" when I connect

the CC to my TV set!! All I see is few colored "dots"!!

Am I doing something wrong? or do I have a faulty CC?

Any input is much appreciated.

P.S= My phone is a Nexus 4

My CC's SN starts with 3805xxxxxxxxxxx
[Google Chromecast] mastermind278:
Little dots means you are in recovery mode.

Trying installing FlashCast and Custom ROM.

If you know the version is OK before you even connect it to a router and set it up you can setup the root!
[Google Chromecast] samteeee:
I certainly didn't do anything to be on "Recovery" partition"!!

I'm not sure what my build/firmware is but I guess I can always

just try to go for "root" and see if it'll happen, right? I mean there

is no harm in that!! I'll get my OTG by Monday so I can try it.
[Google Chromecast] wptski:
My CC from Amazon "might" come today but for sure by Monday. Had a OTG cable but unpowered, proper cord by Wednesday.

I thought to get the build number one needs to use the CC app but not set it up, therefore one needs WiFi enabled? .

The BestBuy site didn't show a CC within 50 miles of me! :(

Edit:

It just came USPS and it's a 3913.

I read this thread from the start like I should! I wonder why instead of trying an old router, why not just disconnect the RJ 45 or coax so there is no input? I might try this while waiting for the OTG cable as I may not be able to use/need it depending on the build.
[Google Chromecast] guy4jesuschrist:
I sure hope that you are able to root it. Either ways, please let us know, so that we can narrow down the serial number range of which have vulnerable bootloaders. Thanks!

---------- Post added at 10:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

That's correct, it won't hurt your Chromecast to attempt flashing it with Flashcast. I bought one that wasn't vulnerable, and tried it. If you hold the button down more than 10 seconds after having plugged the Chromecast into power and it doesn't change from a red light to white, then it's most likely on a firmware version newer than 12072, and isn't vulnerable to the exploit.
[Google Chromecast] wptski:
My OTG cable is finally on a USPS truck for delivery today. I think it got lost as it was suppose to come yesterday.

Anyway I was near my local Best Buy which isn't suppose to have any CC. So much their website which still shows no stocked within 50 miles of me! They had about 15 of them. I looked at every box and all serial numbers started with a 3A except one which was a 3915.

Will find out later if my 3913 can be flashed, etc.

******************EDIT****************

Serial numbers starting with 3913 apparently are 12072 as I installed FlashCast, installed the PwnedCast ROM, plugged it into my TV and got the PWNED! on the screen. I didn't set it up as I had WiFi disabled just in case!

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] lanwarrior:
For my Galaxy S4 Active, I use Llama to control my phone settings based on the location (cellular station), such as turning down ALL volume and put in Vibrate mode when the phone is connected to a cellular station in the "Office" area.

I want to control the following settings depending on where I am or by time (i.e. Monday to Friday from 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM, etc.)

- Volume

- BT

- Wifi

Since my Note 8.0 does not have a cellular radio, what do you guys recommend that I use for this? I used to have ZDBox, but with all the feature they have been adding, it causes more problem on my Galaxy Note 1, so I stayed away from the app.

PS: If the app you recommend uses GPS, does this kill the battery faster? Llama does NOT use GPS, it uses the cellular station so there is almost zero battery impact.

Possibly my question is silly, but I read several posts in this forum and did not find an answer.

Perhaps someone who know's what he's talking about can give me some lines on this:

Is it possible to get LINUX installed on the HTC Magician, somehow?

And: What would this be like? I only know Linux running (on) desktop machines, and I can hardly imagine Linux on a handheld/pocket pc. Are there distributions? Can SSH connection be done? Do I have the usual directory tree and kernel configuration?

It would be nice to give me some kind of crash-course like information.

Thanks,
