[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Maverick777:
WIth root, installing the Play store is possible and will work fine if you have all the right framework files installed. This has been confirmed in the general and android development sections.

Silk will allow you to download files just fine.

You can access the Kindle just like any other Android device when plugged in via USB. That is to say, it's drag and drop file management. I have sideloaded MX Player for video playback. It's my favorite player and I've successfully watched MKV, avi, mpg, m4v files with audio encoded in DTS and Dolby 5.1. DTS decoding requires a custom codec that's available on XDA.

PDF's work just fine. I'm using EZPDF and Moon Reader+, but you can take your pick. I don't think they can be view from inside the browser if that's what you're asking. I have Chrome sideloaded and use it as my primary browser.

The Kindle has a setting to allow third party apps to be installed just like any other Android device so APK's can be installed easily.

All in all, the HDX is almost perfect. If root access will fix the customization issues (wallpapers and widgets) along with Play Store access this will be the best device on the market.

It has the best combination of screen size, screen resolution, thickness, weight, battery life, and power. Snapdragon 800 is as good as it gets for now and really make this device fly. The resolution and color production is as good as it gets confirmed by Displaymate testing and from personal experience.

If Amazon had allowed Play Store access out of the box, it would the unquestioned best tablet on the market. Thanks to XDA, we will have it shortly.

EDIT: I have the HDX 8.9

I will buy it tomorrow you convinced me :P I will keep you updated as soon as it arrives! You got the 16 gb version?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Maverick777:
No. I got the 64gb version with no ads. I need all the memory I can get. :D
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] MaxPayneITA:
Do you know if it supports OTG? I would enjoy connecting a flash drive with a microusb-usb adapter..
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cderrick14:
Well, I just took the plunge and bought a 32gb HDX 8.9

I have zero desire to use any of Amazon's services, but the hardware on this is so perfect for what I am looking for.

I do hope that the discovered root method will lead to recovery, and custom roms, but I am not expecting that to happen either.

After looking at what can be done with apps and everything, I can probably get by on stock. If not, there is always the 30 day return window!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Maverick777:
Personally I don't have a desire for custom roms on this device. It is stable with great battery life. Root gets me enough of the features and customization I want. Plus I get to keep the Amazon services which would most likely break with custom roms. But I'll be excited to see if Cyanogen or Paranoid Android supports this device.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cderrick14:
As far as I know, In Canada we are limited by what Amazon can offer to us. We certainly don't get the full experience.

What specific features does root allow?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
I feel silly asking thing, but I've had a happily running phone for a year now and haven't been messing much with it. I'm a little behind on my XDA reading ;)

I just upgraded to the latest CM9 build from [MENTION=1949378]bhundven[/MENTION] and things seemed to be working fine, though I was getting very tight on /data space. So, I wiped everything internal and android_secure (yeah, I backed up first), did a clean install, then restored things from TiB and a minimal set of Google libraries and apps. (I had forgotten that you can't install anything that depends on the maps APIs until you have the libraries from gapps installed).

Good news -- I'm up to around 100 MB free on /data instead of 60 or less and all its attendant problems.

Bad news, Adblock Plus isn't blocking any more.

I've tried

Re-restore Adblock Plus

Confirm su available

Confirm running

Re-install from new download

Reboot a bunch

Has anyone else see this and, if so, any suggestions on how to resolve?

I'm really hating seeing ads. I had no recollection of how annoying they are!

(Yes, on 4.0.x, so the required permission for the proxy hasn't been changed as it was in 4.1.2 and 4.2.1 and later)

Edit: Looks like all my non-local connections are IPv6 wrapped?

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Yea, ads are annoying. Keep me up to date if you find anything else, but in the meantime, I'll see if I can just setup adblock-plus from scratch just to make sure it wasn't a backup/recovery issue.

the "::ffff:100.215.216.69..." address is called "dotted-quad notation":

--wikipedia

You might be able to figure that out with:

ip route

Seems to be something on t-mo's network doing ipv6 to ipv4 mapping.

ipv6 was enabled in ics and newer roms/kernels for sgs4g when t-mobile originally enabled ipv6 for 4.0.x for sgs-II.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
I'm thinking the IPv6 notation I'd a red herring. Looks like sometimes the message is "Ads are blocked on all connections" other times "... on WiFi connections" Apparently the Adblock proxy is only running in the first case. When it is running I can see it binding to :::2020 so it looks consistent with the use of the IPv6 addressing scheme.

The WiFi-only mode seems to be a no-root fallback. I haven't found any evidence at to why it would not have, or know it has root yet.

It doesn't seem to be a kernel issue. One of my kernels from a year ago exhibits the same behavior.

For now, I flip it on and off until I get the "right" notification-area message.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Does adblock plus use hosts files? Either way you should give adaway a shot since it uses /etc/hosts to perform the adblocking. It's worked fairly well for me, although I haven't been able to get IPv6 to work on my own phone to attempt to replicate your test conditions.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
I switched to Adblock Plus a while ago (I think when these were all pulled by Google from Play). I thought it was a little cleaner in that it uses a proxy and returns "nothing" instead of a DNS timeout. It also can be a little more selective in that it can block specific URLs, without taking out the entire host.

It's been very reliable up until my "rebuild" of my phone, so I suspect I something subtle has changed. From looking at the Adblock Plus code (open source), it looks like it thinks it doesn't have root access. It needs root access to block on all connections, apparently. Sometimes it seems like doesn't ask for it, others I can see that SuperSU gave it, but it still doesn't set up the full-on proxy. More reading and debugging perhaps...

I'm on the ROM-default IPv4 setting for the APN, but it might be subtly different settings than in last-year's builds.

It may be that I'm running with a super-slim set of gapps, but I'm hoping it isn't that.

I've come across Xprivacy that is helping this problem by blocking Internet for the most annoying offender, Alarm Clock Plus. I even bought the paid version of Alarm Clock Plus, but they screwed the UI in the version released November last year and I don't have the paid version APK prior to November 2012. (Yes, if anyone has a copy, I'd appreciate it. My mail to the developers has been unanswered.)

Xprivacy also handles some of the issues of apps that have more privileges that I care to give them. it proxies Android calls, from what I can tell. I've only had it running a day so it is all first impressions, but I think I'll stick with it with "must have" apps like Dropbox asking for more than I care to give them.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] gershee:
I've unlocked my phone. sprint sgs4.

I'm in Australia and using a sim card.

do I still flash the sprint versions or do I now have a generic sgs4?

does that make sense?

everything works on my phone EXCEPT sms. I be tried everything.. any help?

when I change CDMA subscription to sim from NV I get force close on phone and I think this is the problem..

I'm on cm10.2..

helppppp needed!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] leaderbuilder:
Hardware wise you should probably flash the Sprint varients; hardware matters a great deal. BUT I don't know what that will do to any service tweak(s) you may have done - if any.

As for SMS sounds like you'll have to manually adjust the APN and proxy settings to your carriers settings. There are threads somewhere that deal with flashing the phone to other carriers that have a load of useful info.

What about using Hangouts SMS integration?

[Nexus 5 Accessories] AceKingNYC:
Anyone receive the replacement TPU case for the Slim Armor from Spigen? I just received mine and I'm disappointed in it - I actually prefer the original one which had a slight defect. The power button on the new one requires alot of push to initiate the screenlock/unlock. The original was too sensitive at first, but after breaking it in and making sure it was properly fitted it was actually quite nice.

Anyone receive theirs? If so, feedback?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jjc5891:
I feel the same exact way. Old one after broken in was perfect!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] edgeicator:
I just sliced the plastic on the bottom side of each button so that it's only attached by 1 flap like the original TPU piece. I find that this makes the buttons much better. Honestly, with this mod, I wish I could combine the new power button with the old volume buttons. Even with the mod, the volume buttons take a bit too much force and don't have the same feedback like the original one does.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AceKingNYC:
Glad im not the only one. I thought I had just gotten so used to the old one that this one felt terrible
[Nexus 5 Accessories] drwx:
they sent me an email yesterday and said mine would ship soon. if the replacement sucks too, i'll just return it to amazon and get something different....i might wind up doing that anyway. inexcusable for a $18 case to have buttons that are defective.

I have factory cable and fastboot drivers set up

files I have are :

One problem I run in to is that when running the batch file it says my system is too large.

Hello All,

Can someone please provide their experience with using a dual SIM adapter on their Note II device.

I am thinking of this for future traveling.

T.I.A.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] smentoma:
I have a gmate+. Was very good and handling well on 4.1.2. But when I flash 4.3. The device blocked during call. Restarting. Lost voice. It has issues with android 4.3. Hope they will update the app. I really like that device and it was all I need to transform my phone to a dual sim active phone.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] PamelaGirl:
Thank you smentoma!

This will be a good start:)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Optimistic Pessimist:
Have been using the MAGIC SIM Elite dual SIM adapter for quite some time now and it has been working as expected.

Have been able to utilise both SIM's 3g/4g connections with no issues and switching between SIMs isn't difficult (requires activating/deactivating airplane mode).

It isn't dual standby/active, meaning that its only one SIM active at a time. You can set it up (not a feature of the adapter, but something to arrange with carrier), so that if one SIM is inactive, it will forward calls to the other SIM which is active and vice versa. That way you won't/shouldn't miss out on calls.

Can be tricky to insert into the Note 2's SIM card slot.

My trick to inserting it, is to first put a micro SIM in to disengage the spring lever that's in the slot, then carefully pull the micro SIM out with needle-nose pliers (don't push the SIM to get it out like you normally would), then place the dual SIM adapter (micro-SIM side) into the slot and slide the micro SIM in. That way the adapter won't impinge on the spring lever and will more than likely sit over the SIM slot contacts (hope that made sense).

It's very easy to either pull too hard or twist it and damage the flex cable.

Have been using it with Beanstalk 4.3 ROM and TW 4.1.2 stock and no issues with either ROMs

It will bulge out a little when putting the battery cover back on.

How to get original android notification bar?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Palfreey:
I recieved a Galaxy SIII GTi9300 Unlocked (I am British) for my birthday a few weeks, and I rooted and flashed Clockwork Recovery a couple of days ago. I first installed PacRom, as it seemed to suit my customising needs the most, and I don't really like TouchWiz at all, and I encountered a few problems. The camera was refusing to open. stating 'Camera Error, Can't connect to the camera.' and the WiFi was playing up big time. I was at my neighbors house when I did the root and flash so I was trying to connect to his WiFi with the newly flashed phone, and I would type the passsword in correctly, it would state it was connecting and then would simply say it was a saved, secure network, not having connected at all. I gave up on the ROM and went back to TouchWiz. Today, I decided to try again, this time with a separate ROM, AOKP in this case. I went through the procedure again, and I had it flashed in around half an hour after turning my computer on. After playing around on the ROM, I encountered the same camera problem, and a similar problem with the WiFi. I have been through the forums, changing the SSID and password of my WiFi network,, to no avail. I managed to connect when my phone was leaning against the router with a static IP but I wasn't able to connect to the Play Store or anything. Can anyone help me please? This is getting really frustrating now, as my new phone is disappointing me.

Thanks,

Will, 14

[Nexus 5 Accessories] kpjimmy:
I got the i-Blason over the weekend and when I came into the office, I had a package waiting for me. It was the case that is kinda confusing to clarify because it's mixed in with other cases on Amazon. To clarify what I wanted, I went straight to the horses mouth and ordered it directly from i-Blason for $7.99USD+shipping.

http://www.i-blason.com/candygel-hybrid-tpu-hard-clear-case-for-google-nexus-5.html

The case, which is tpu is much more malleable/softer than the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. Also the i-Blason is very tpu-ish on it's lip unlike the Spigen UH, where the Spigen is ultra stiff.

When unpackaging the Candygel tpu, I also noticed that the case "looked" smaller than the Spigen UH. And when I was about to put it on, I said to myself, this doesn't look like it's going to fit! LOL. Glad I was wrong.

The case fit like a bodyglove. LOL I mean the case lip is very flexible and forgiving. And keep in mind I have a Spigen screen protector as well so I had to make sure that didn't come up. And thankfully, it did not. :good:

I have been using it and playing with it for a while and I have to say it's a pretty good case! The buttons are there, allbeit, covered, but the buttons now have feedback, compared to the Spigen UH. The volume buttons are also fine as well.

The ONLY fault I can find thus far is that on the bottom of the case has a scuff mark that was most likely done from the molding process, which I can forgive. It doesn't hinder the use of the case, it isn't sharp or uncomfortable because of it. I can even see it, but I know it's there. And I know I'll forget about it on day to day usage. The cut outs on the speaker aren't the best, but it's tpu and again, it isn't horrible, but I can notice it lol. The mic holes are perfectly exposed and just to note, the micro sim tray are covered. The clear back is why I got it. I can sport my dbrand white CF as well, where the other options before were the Spigen UH and Ringke fusion.

For the price, I can recommend this. and plays well with the Spigen screen protector thus far. The TPU makes the phone more form fitting and seems a tad smaller in holding it in my hands.

Anyways, here are some pics...enjoy! Oh and feel free to ask any questions or if you want pics at different angle and stuff like that. :p
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DanP47:
How much bulk does this case add, in terms of height and width and also the thickness of the phone? I've been looking for a slim case to use with my dbrand skin as well, and I've been eyeing this one up.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kpjimmy:
It's thinner compared to the spigen ultra hybrid if that helps. It's like a tpu case thickness. Meaning not very thick.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jimmy2u:
its really looking much better than the spigen ultra hybrid....quite impressive one with the look wise....I would say that would be going to be a nice choice to go for.....
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Theberge43:
Does the clear back attracts fingers smudges and oil? I have a crystal Spigen ultra fit and I hate that about it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kpjimmy:
I want to say it's actually a bit better than the Spigen UH when it comes to the fingerprint magnet. But saying that, you have to take into account that I have a WHITE cf. That makes the fingerprints invisible and barely visible. But if you hold it at an angle, I can see some, but not as bad as the Spigen UH.
