[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sage:
apparently there is a advanced wifi setting called optimisation that if you turn off it it streams better and the sacrifice of some battery life..

going to try it tonight.

kernel didnt help either did an overclock.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZenInsight:
Me too. I guarantee its not my Asus RT66u router. My cell can do this fine. Even YouTube has buffering issues for me.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChungHung.Chen:
Streaming by DLNA or play directly from CIFS share?

DLNA has some limitations, like MKV with embedded subtitle or external subtitle file.

And DLNA need to encode on-the-fly if you changed output format.

After trying for few weeks, I've decided to use CIFS share solution.

Using EX file manager to browse my Win7 share folder and MX for player.

Both device are connected to Asus RT-N13U B1 w/ DD-WRT by WiFi(N).

It's smooth for 720P/1080P without lag.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sage:
I use a Windows Share. Browse through Solid Explorer to launch. As i said above lots of different Video players all dont work.

What ROM/Kernel are you using? Did you have the adv Wifi optimisation on or off?

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChungHung.Chen:
Hi,

Nexus 7(2012) w/ Full stock 4.4 (Only root & unlock)

ES File manager + MX Player ( HW+ decoder )

Adv. WiFi Optimization is OFF

Win7 x64 share w/ anonymous RO access

EDIT: Have you verified network speed both side?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sage:
Looks like it was WiFi optimization! Turned it off and now no problems! Must be reducing the bandwidth to much to stab :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sage:
Just out of interest can you stream 1080p too or just 720?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sage:
actually this turned out to be the windows share. apparently android cant get decent speeds with this.. changed to DLNA and smashed 1080p all day every day.

Even FTP gets great speeds.. windows share always sucks. (SAMBA/CIFS etc).

Thought i better post this just in case it helps someone.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Sphere:
I have read claims that "Start menu" pops up faster, applications opens faster, and in general, the device becomes a lot faster just after the upgrade.

I have checked those claims, with 2 similar Qteks. one was upgraded to the last ROM and is after HR, and on the other - the same factory ROM with HR.

The resaults are in this video (http://www.pocket.co.il/~video/9100-rom/qtek-rom.wmv)

the device on the right is not upgraded, and the device on the left the ROM is 1.6.7.1

both are after HR to check the responses of the start menu and several applications.

If there is indeed an upgrade with this ROM, it isn't affect what we have tested.

Also, please notice that the upgraded ROM reduces the "program" memory to 44MB.

The thing that most poeple forget, is that a device, after HR is faster than a device that was used for some time, so of course you will notice a difference after upgrading, because the device demands a HR.

The (little) problem I habve is that the actual program memory in use is changed with the new rom.

I was using the latest KJam rom before and I had around 30 - 31mb free program memory (to run applications) and its changed with the new rom.

I now have around 24mb...

(44mb total memory and 20mb in use atm)

Also does it include MSFP? (Microsoft Messaging and Security Update) (for "push" e-mail?)

This is not an official ROM from QTEK.

Qtek are due to release a new official ROM till the end of this month, and it will include MSFP.

Hello. I hope someone can help me.

I had been sailing along on my unlocked rooted tablet with CROMi-X 5.2 and TWRP that was upgraded to 2.6.3.1 using Goomanager. I wanted to try an alpha build of KitKat 4.4 (CM 11) and it required downgrading to TWRP 2.6.3.0. After a long discussion on that thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2528738), I downgraded to 2.6.3.0 using a version (recovery.img) from this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2531665). I used this from the terminal emulator: su, then dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4. I had been able to choose internal or external SD card as the place to backup to or restore from. Now when I boot into recovery, the only choice I have is internal SD card. All my nandroids are under TWRP on the external SD card. I want to go back to 2.6.3.1 and be able to see my nandroids in recovery from both internal AND external SD cards. Please help.

Hi,

I got a silly problem with my S3. i am using it in India currently and my Data package allows me to Tether. but since the S3 goes through verizon it wont let me tether.

Hi guys

I'm coming from a shiny htc one x and one feature I really loved was the diaporama live wallpaper wich I can't find on my bright new nexus 5 and I really miss it... Can anyone tell me where to find that kind of live wallpaper because I wasn't able to find one on the play store...

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishbrian:
New member so can't post this in the Dev forums/threads, hopefully someone picks it up here ...

I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 N8010.

I have rooted properly (I think ... ?) and am trying to install pollux_windy to be able to install Ubuntu Touch.

I am however having an issue with the pollux_windy.zip install

When I tried the initial download it gave me a Status 7 error, about checking versions.

I removed the version check lines, but now I get a (Status 6).

When I enable the log it says:

Opening update package ...

Installing update ...

line 1 col 58: syntax error, unexpected BAD

1 parse erros

E:Error in /external_sd/pollux_windy.zip

(Status 6)

Installation aborted.

I:Can't partition non-vfat: datamedia

I:Can't format unknown volume: /emmc

I've been trying this for the last 2 days, and seemingly it's a relatively simple exercise according to

so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I haven't tried ubuntu yet, so I may be wrong, but think the pollux_windy image is not for our note 10.1, but for a Sony tablet.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mamenyaka:
Sorry, I didn't see your post until now.

You are lucky, both the pollux_windy and n8013 ubuntu touch is my work.

So to be clear: pollux_windy is for the Sony Xperia Tablet Z (WiFi only)

You need to flash n8013 (same as n8010, WiFi only versions both).

Just go to my thread: Ubuntu Touch, the rest is there.

Also, you can PM me if you want until you get 10 posts.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nik_B:
As the title suggest, does anyone else having such (one, more or all) issues on Nexus 5 after root?

1. Kitkat kinda initializes after every reboot. Not like the very first time starting the device (setup assistent) but installing/updating apps (which) are already on the device (same Verstion) and re-setting configuration to what it already should be.

2. Always showing H (internet connection) and at least two bars on signal strength even when there is no signal (accourding to chrome and (stock) dialer app.

3. Loss of signal but pretending there is one (like in 2.) and only regaining signal after reboot.

4. Loss of distance between apps within the appdrawer (more apps per page) until uninstallation of an app (remains normal after reinstall)

5. many app crashes (before and after rooting)

6. sometimes notification led keeps blinking after notification was dismissed, sometimes the notification led blinks very fast.

I rooted my device with cf auto root.

I am glad that I am not alone but does anyone know whats the source of this strange behaviour or how this can be fixed?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DreamLinker:
In a case like this i would go back to stock, make a factory reset and then rooting the N5 again, manually, without using cf auto root.

Rooting manually it's just a good way to understand the android OS, and how it's made, imho.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nik_B:
Is there a good low-risk way (manual/tutorial) to manually root without a custom rom and custom recovery (CWM/TWRP) ?

Because besides root access I want to stay as close as possible to stock.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michianamcr:
Wugfresh's toolkit is imho the best and safest way to root and do most changes to all nexus devices. About the only difficult you may experience is usb driver/connectivity issues. The usb driver guides are well documented and easy to follow. It's no different than the standard adb usb drivers. Most have no issues, but that is the only thing that can cause problems with adb or Wugfresh's toolkit.

Read through Wugfresh's forum topic to acquaint yourself with mtp/ptp and driver installation and you should breeze through using his toolkit.

custom recoveries do not prevent the OTA.. plus you can just fastboot boot recovery whateverrecovery.img

i blame your problems on the CF-autoroot as i have none of the symptoms you describe.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nik_B:
Looking into the script chainfire offers shows me that there are only 2 commands executed.

the

fastboot oem unlock - command is clear to me that it unlocks the bootloader

but i have some questions about the second one: fastboot boot image\CF-Auto-Root-hammerhead... ...nexus5.img

Am I correct assuming that this command tells the bootloader to start this image instead of the regular android (once?)

which modifies "something" within the "original" android os (image)?

If yes, can somebody tell me?

Is the only modification made there the mount configuration of the system partition and/or user settings?

Is a documentation for such internal matters of rooting somewhere out there?

yeah I know I have lots of questions and yes I am very curious.

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zepius:
unless someone looks into the boot image CF has setup, there's no way to tell what his image does.

thats why its easiest to just boot a custom recovery and then flash supersu.zip, yet a lot of people want to just use toolkits cause "its easier" but when you do use a toolkit, you end up with issues.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistahseller:
Go with this guy.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilago:
As soon as I read your thread title, I knew you rooted using an "auto root". Rooting a device is actually very simple, just takes a few minutes of your time to research the steps. As long as you have 10 minutes, a USB cable and a Windows Computer, it should be easy and result in a errorless experience.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nik_B:
I already know that. Maybe my question was not correct.

What I wanna know is what happens when i flash a custom recovery, root my device and so on in the background

and what are necessary steps to such actions?

Because I would like to do all those actions on my own. (for example make my own image to boot for rooting)

But I won't unless I know exactly WHAT I am doing.

Hope this for wording made my intentions clearer. (Sorry I am not that good in English)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zepius:
fastboot boot recovery recovery.img - this just boots into the recovery once, but leaves the stock recovery as the recovery that is written to the device

when you flash supersu.zip what it does is execute a script that places the su binary in /data/xbin i believe and gives it the proper permissions, and also places supersu app on your phone.

you do not need to make your own boot image, or anything of the sort.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
The root process is not capable of causing any of these issues. Root using wugfresh is the exact same as using auto root and both of these are the same as manually doing it yourself. None of them can cause visual changes or signal loss alone, and the only reason we don't recommend toolkits or auto root is so people don't get comfortable with the idea that they don't need to know fastboot commands in the event that they boot loop, etc.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tklr:
Do I understand you correctly that neither wugfresh nor auto root are causing the problems in your eyes. I´m just curious because many people including me used Chainfire´s auto root but not all of them are reporting problems. In my case the Nex5 seems to forget already set default apps e.g. for tapatalk links, urls etc.

I'm new here (been lurking for a while) and in the process of haggling with my local O2 shop to match my previously bargained Orange tariff to a XDA mini and O2 tariff. Anyway...

Last night whilst browing i noticed that if you Select a XDA mini S on the O2 shop website, instead of being charged £79.99 on all plans, it comes up as £49.99 on all plans.

Hope this is of some use to somebody :)

Just be careful they dont say it was a clear error and charge you £79. Bonus if you get it for £49 but maybe be prepared to pay £79.

Tell you what though £49 for a mini S is one hell of a bargain. Its a fantastic piece of kit. God I paid £50 for my nokia 3650. Also a very good phone in its day and still a good phone to be honest.

There is no mistake now as the price is shown as £49.99

The guy in the shop never questioned my choice of data only tarrif. He also trusted me to come back with a mains charger as I took a car one with me.

It also seems they are not concerned about people re-flashing firmware and removing the O2 extended ROM (which makes the phone MUCH faster - I did it today). They will help you get your gprs and wap settings back after the flash :)

I also bought a 2Gb high speed mini SD from moby memory (http://www.mobymemory.com/proddetail.asp?prod=miniSD_2048mb_MOBY_001) for £87!

EDIT: actually I am going to email them...here goes nothing :o
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Sizer:
Personally I am going to phone and speak to a person. Email isnt direct enough IMO. I will simply be stating :

That the price was dropped several hours after ordering and if they do not give it to me for the new price I will use it for 13 days and return it on the 14th. There is a 14 day cool off period. I will then inform them that after I have returned it to them they will have to then sell it on as 2nd hand/refurb and that I will place my order again for one at the lower price.

Under these conditions it would be far easier and more beneficial to them to alter my invoice accordingly and save wasting my time and their time/money. And if that fails, I will simply return it and go to another network operator that looks after the customers they already have rather than a company who just likes to get you as a customer then forget all about you.

If anyone does phone them be sure to make a note of the date/time of the conversation and get the operators name in case you need it for future reference. I have been caught out before simply because I could not provide these details...

I rang them 2 nights ago(about half eight) to see if they had any progress on matching my tariff, and whilst on the phone the girl mentioned the phone was currently £49.99 if I ordered through her. I thought it a bit odd at the time, but didn't question it as I wasn't ordering then and presumed she had made a mistake. I then went onto the website to look at the data tariffs and whilst I was there I checked the phones price out of curiosity.

At the time the shop homepage was showing it at £79.99, but the XDA mini order page was showing it at £49.99.

By the looks of things it still is too, so i'm glad I could help! :)

Hopefully now O2 will get their fingers out their asses and match my tariff! :D

Phoned them up. Operator said there was nothing she could do only a manager could help. I asked to speak to said manager and after a few minutes she came back having spoken to the manager herself and offered £10 off my line rental for 3 months. Unfortunately the system wouldnt let her do that so she went off again, came back and applied a £30 credit to my account.

Result.
