[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Inline:
I have got to absolutely agree with you here man! MF9 was awful for batter life, I had to give up my stock battery completely for my Zerolemon - and this is with utilizing wife and data off with screen off, UC, UV, greenify, etc. (I use my phone extensively throughout the day so barely 8 hours with 2 screen wasn't cutting it). That was with killing media server as well. Others had similar problems but not all.

With MJA, my battery life has doubled and gone back to what it was with MDC and MDL.

theunwired posted a review of the Globalsat bt headphone kit here http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=2873#article Towards the end he states "So the E-Ten M600 is the second device with Windows Mobile 5.0 which supports Bluetooth stereo even without having the (according to Microsoft) required AKU 2 on board. The first one, I was aware of is the T-Mobile MDA Pro (HTC Universal) which is also Bluetooth stereo enabled after the latest ROM update from last week."

Has anyone upgraded to the latest mda pro rom and tested A2DP?

These feature packs have not been released for the MDA Pro/Xda Exec yet.

What is up xda community? I submitted a recent application to the Google Play Store and Amazon and it is now published to both stores. My app was published just a few days ago but I cannot seem to get any freaking downloads! I get maybe 1-2 a day and I have been trying to market it like crazy. The app is PocketMath. There are two versions, PocketMath Free and PocketMath AD-FREE. I have a Google Blogger associated with App, a website, a facebook page, a twitter, a tumblr, a rebelmouse, posts on both craigslist and reddit promoting my app, and I've tried to cotact and go through App review sites and none have gotten back to me (I emailed like 12!). But anyways if any of you could help me that would be excellent. Any advice or tips is appreciated, but if you have no answers for me (like I do because I'm completely lost) feel free to download my app on the Google Play Store or on Amazon and leave a review. Since I'm not allowed to post links yet, you'll have to manually go to Amazon or Google Play to download it (A pain, i know, but please just do it :o )

Thank You:good:

-Root

-Unlock bootloader

-Install TWRP

-Create Backup

-Put my backup on my PC

-Wipe chache, delvik, everything

Not needed - sort of.... If you're new phone comes with MJA then you're stuck with Knox. If not you can avoid tripping it.

The other steps you listed sound pretty good but you MUST follow the OPs instructions to the letter - often missed is the battery pull or recovery restart part.

As for the first part of your post you should know that what you're asking (best ROM etc....) is a no no here on XDA. Just try some for yourself. EVERY phone is different as is every ROM and how you set it up for you.

good luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] LordKoga:
Wait we can avoid triping knox!!!!???? **** I wish i knew this before i rooted my phone...... Can it be avoided if I accepted an OTA for 4.3? Dear god if there is a method to disable / avoid knox it needs to be stickied and put in big bold letters on the front page of the forums.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] leaderbuilder:
If you took the OTA you're locked into the Knox counter period.

And yes that has been discussed over and over ad naseum here in these forums since the first leak of 4.3

Sadly most will just not read through all the stickies and how to's and then through the ROM OPs and follow-ups, they just 'jump in' and try and grab the latest/root right away etc...

My wife's N7 sometimes starts normally, but very often you have to press and hold the power button for at least 15 seconds before you get the boot screen google logo.

I have searched but not found a thread dealing with this issue. I do not have the powering off/battery status issues, the tablet ALWAYS boots up, just that it seems very odd you have to press and hold the power button for so long sometimes. EDIT... HERE is a similar thread.

Any ideas if there is some fix for this?

The tablet is on Kitkat OTA update.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xateeq:
Your device is not shutting down properly. For me if i load a bad kernel or do some thing nasty in kernel settings then device some times goes into sleep of death. It is on but not responsive. You are just pressing power button for 15 sec to reboot it. Plz update your kernel if u have custom kernel or check settings if u have changed any. And if u haven't done any thing then start paying attention to apps after which these problems start to happen.

Factory reset would also fix the issue.

P.s: do not undervolt if you are and if custom kernel then try increasing lowest cpu state frequency to 200+. Just a thought. Not every device can handle all kernels.

Thanks, I had thought that not shutting down properly is the cause, but now I have updated to stock kitkat, wouldnt that have come with stock kernel? Yet the issue persists...

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BL4CK_92:
well i have the same problem myself, even if i shutdown the device normal.

Sometimes i need to press the power button a few times for like a few seconds. Even after a factory reset.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredphoesh:
Ok, thanks BL4CK...

So that seems to point at HARDWARE being the problem... since after Factory Reset it cannot be software, and since I have STOCK kernel STOCK firmware, it cant be the ROM...

ah well... just have to live with it, it seems... though it does behave as though it is not shutting down properly.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mondcg:
Same here...device is untouched, no root, no custom rom etc.

At first after unboxing i thought the nexus was doa, untill i realised that you have to keep pushing power button for 13 seconds!

What i hate even more: it's still on 4.3 because OTA updated doesn't work!

-update notification appears

-downloading update

-confirming "restart and install update"

-nexus turns off

I would really really appriciate some help!

PS: i do NOT want to update via usb to computer connection
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrew9292:
Here is a thread with some good fixes for the hard start problem (hardware problem):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2090826

If an app was causing SOD when shutting down, a factory reset would resolve it.

Should also check bootloader to be v4.23

Start the device by pressing n holding PWR + VOL DWN until you enter the bootloader.

The info should be somewhere along the left-bottom side of the screen.

Once u get the version number, use vol up/down buttons to navigate until u reach power off.

Press power button to confirm power off.

Start normally/whichever way currently works for u.

Used to have this hard start problem alongside touchscreen problems.

Under the nexus's back cover are actually some antenna pins along with some grounding pins.

Sometimes these pins corrode or have poor contact, then it causes some electrical abnormalities.

Try to clean these pins with an cotton earbud and some metal cleaning solution. Stuff like carb sprays for example. Nothing oil based. Wet the bud a little with your solution and clean gently. Then use a dry bud and gently wipe dry the pins and all residues. Repeat a few times if needed.

Also try to push the pins outward so it will have more contact with the back cover.

!!Be very gentle and use minimal pressure, these pins break easily and if they do you will need a new board.

Other than that, check the battery connector too. Unplug and replug. Or other suggestions/solution in the thread above.

Good luck!

[Google Chromecast] Appestry:
Hey y'all,

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

I'm excited to share my latest new app in Google Play: CLOUDCAST

Cloudcast lets you play online entertainment from one Android device to another, from anywhere on the planet! Unlike Chromecast, Cloudcast is NOT limited to your Wi-Fi network and you can stream content from ANY website in your device!

The idea was born out of frustration with Chromecast. Google released Chromecast in the summer of 2013 but did not allow independent developers like us to publish apps for it. Since I spent months writing code for their "preview" SDK, I did not want all my work to go to waste. That is when the idea of Cloudcast was born - why not use any Android device as a player instead of Chromecast and not be limited to the Wi-Fi network!

So here it is finally! Hope y'all find the app useful. Let me know what you think. It's a free app, requires latest Google Play & YouTube apps and runs on Android 2.2 or above.

Cheers!

Appestry

Look around the interwebs. I've seen the MK808 go for as low as $30 recently.

I have had one for about a year now, paid a bit more for it, and am quite happy with it.

Does all the Android stuff well and now even XBMC (13 beta7) runs great on it, using Finless v1.7 ROM and kisses 720p kernel.
[Google Chromecast] Appestry:
MK808 & Google Play

Does Google Play work in MK808? I heard others had issues signing in. I'm looking to get one.

The one I used in the Cloudcast demo is Evoke HDI, runs 4.01 but it's a lot slower than even 1.2 GHz phones.

http://evokehdi.com/

I picked it up in Fry's, but no one sells them anymore.
[Google Chromecast] el_easy:
I don't understand this part: ''The free version contains ads and can only cloudcast for 10 minutes at a time.''

10 mins only? then what next, because 10 mins is nothing..

Also can I cast all my movies from a Window PC to my Android stick?..Thanks:confused:
[Google Chromecast] MarkOden:
I believe that it's called The Raspberry Pie.
[Google Chromecast] Appestry:
Play movies from PC

Sure, when you use Cloudcast you will be installing in two devices - your phone (the browser/remote) and the Android stick (the media player). The free version is for you to test out Cloudcast in your Wi-Fi network or wireless carrier to make sure it's responsive. If you are casting videos < 10 mins then you won't have to upgrade. After 10 minutes the player will stop to give you an option to upgrade or close. You can still continue to use the browser and play locally or cast again. The browser has no time limits. When you upgrade the 10 time limit for the player is removed and the ads at the bottom of the browser are removed as well. Hope it makes sense.

If you are storing movies in a web server in your Windows PC and if you're able to access them from an Android browser (say http://network_pc/movies/...) then you can play and control the movies from your phone to the Android stick. The PC has to stay on and folders shared for the entire movie.

Instead of a web server you can try shared folders, Cloudcast will work if the URL is accessible by a browser (say file:///network_pc/movies...). My Evoke HDI Android box can see shared folders (without a webserver) and it's also possible with a rooted phone. Hope it helps.
[Google Chromecast] kozmo2k4:
The MK808 has had access to Google Play (and Amazon), whether on Stock or custom ROMs, without any issues. There are JellyBean versions out now, but I have mine still on ICS. Good forum for Android sticks (and not-so-mainstream Tablets) is Freaktab.com. Good place to compare the different Android Sticks and set-top-boxes.
[Google Chromecast] siratfus:
Feels nicer than Cheapcast, but I'm realizing these types of apps can never do paid content, right? I can't do netflix. So these will always be a compliment to chromecast, not replacement.

Or, am I not understanding something? How do I play netlfix, hbo go, hulu plus, etc. I have paying accounts for these. Netflix and HBO Go requires you to play in an app. You can't play in the browser, so that means this won't work, correct?
[Google Chromecast] Appestry:
No paid content yet!

Yes, you're absolutely correct. Cloudcast currently cannot play paid content because there is no user authentication at the player end. Netflix won't play in any mobile browser because of their restrictions. Like you said they want you to use their app!

That said, if the content providers offer a way to authenticate in a web browser (oAuth or login), then we can validate the user at both ends (browser and player). I will look further and see if there are providers that offer that option. Will keep you updated.

I'm sure there are apps out there that "cast" without a Chromecast. If there are enough of us to show content providers the value in offering browser based HTML5 delivery model, then they will soon realize that we all don't need to be locked up in Google's walled garden. This is just a spark and I'm hoping to start a fire!

Calling all indie devs who want to cast without a Chromecast!!

Thank you for this great question. I'll be sure to add this in the FAQs.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nvillamob:
I was using my N7 a few days ago, playing dots, and it had 15-20% battery left. All of a sudden, it shuts down, saying the battery was drained. Since then, I've charged it, held down the power button for 30 seconds, volume down + power, etc and I can't get the thing to turn back on. I'm rooted and haven't flashed a rom in probably 2 or 3 months. Prior to this, I haven't done anything with system files or anything like that. I just can't get it to turn on.

Incidently, a week ago I tried to connect it to my computer but my computer never would recognize that I had connected it. It had, though, been charging properly right up until this happened.

The battery dying has happened before and usually I have to keep it on the charger for a while before it will turn on but that hasn't helped yet. Any suggestions? I really don't want to have to buy a new one!!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nvillamob:
Unfortunately this didn't do anything for me. I took the back cover off, disconnect and reconnected the battery cable and it still won't turn on. I called google but since I bought it from HH Gregg they won't RMA it. I bought it barely 13 months ago so the store probably won't help me out either. I have no idea why this happened and it's driving me nuts.

Any other suggestions?

Hi,

Sorry didn't really know where to put this as there is no official omni thread for the nexus 7 2012 anywhere.

[HTC One SV] zomgitsanoob:
I am rooted, unlocked, with s-off and supercid. I can change the splash screen just fine via hboot, but three different bootanimation apps have failed to change the boot animation, despite being able to successfully disable it completely. I am very confused by this.

Okay, so there are a few places where it appears the boot animation is stored. I got it working by selecting the install location /system/media (the fourth result when selecting 'find locations') and filename bootanimation.zip

If you have the same phone, are using Rom Toolbox Lite, and want to get custom bootanimations working, this install is now confirmed working (although I appear to have broken the default with my earlier experiments, as renaming the file back to the original by removing the second extension did not fix it). I have not tested this install location with direct method or other apps.

Thanks to all who Old Splatterhand and Modding.My.Mind for getting me looking at install locations and permissions, which lead to the solution. :good:
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Where do you want to change it (location)?

Did you set permissions for the new one?

Is it correctly named?

Is it a selfmade or is it confirmed that it is running on another device?
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
For K2_CL it is located

/system/customize/resource/boost_bootanimation.zip

I do this manually. You can either copy the original bootanimation to your pc or sdcard or you can leave it where it is located at and rename the zip by adding an additional extension after the .zip like .zip.pzi so this way the phone won't read and execute it upon booting up.

Afterwards, take your custom bootanimation that you have downloaded or personally created yourself and insure the zip is given the same name as your stock bootanimation zip file. Then copy it to its proper location. After that, reboot your device ;).
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
You will need to insure you have read and write permissions first or you won't be able to to make changes to your stock and/or custom bootanimation zip file in your system.
[HTC One SV] zomgitsanoob:
I have a CKT_bootupone.zip and hTC_booyup_one.zip

Edit: I also have hTC_downanimation.zip

and

CKT_downanimation.zip

these are the shutdown animations?

I had it set to [default] install location in the bootanimations app (via ROM Toolbox Lite). This is my problem, then?

Also a htc_bootup.mp3 - this is the startup sound?
[HTC One SV] zomgitsanoob:
UPDATE: renamed CKT_bootupone.zip to CKT_bootupone.zip.bkp and installed to same location with filename CKT_bootupone.zip

The result was no bootanimation at all:confused:
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
If there is no bootanimation displaying itself then delete the custom bootanimation and grab another one of its kind and repeat the step. Your thread says solved.... So I assume it is working for you now? If so, then congrats.
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
There was a couple of times where my bootanimation would not work. It was mostly due to the compression level of the zip file. Best way to confirm is to extract the contents of the zip file then make a new zip file with those contents but make sure the compression level for the zip is 'STORE'. See picture below. Otherwise, the bootanimation will not work.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] hamorabi:
Good day friends,

Thanks for such a great forum. I bought a second hand LG G2X. It was rooted but still running stock Gingerbread 2.3.3. The phone runs very well except for two defects.

1. GPS turns on but does not find my location at all.

2. The battery charges to 100% and when it gets to 75% it reports low battery and turns off.

I have no idea why the GPS is not working. I assumed the battery was bad and bought a new one. However the fault persisted. The curious part is that even when the phone reports low battery and turns off, the battery is not actually empty at all !! I download an app called "My battery info and drain". I waited until the battery reached 75% or so and got the 'Low Bat' message. I restarted and immediately was told 'Low Bat'. But this time I immediately turned on the 'Battery Drain' app and the phone didn't shut down as it usually those. In fact right now as I am typing it is draining. I wonder if this is some issue which has been encountered before and someone knows how to deal with it.

My Primary Request

1. Obviously the battery issue is non-reconcilable. I really have to find a way to keep the phone on for its designated time on battery. It seems a phone message since the battery still has some juice.

Peripheral Request

Obviously having a GPS is a plus. I really wonder if there is some driver issue wrong with the phone. I tired using Cyanogen 7 Rom and thought that might make it work but no success. Is there something such as a kernel which has GPS drivers that I can install.

Hi all.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but I did a search and could not find any info on this.

I have a t-mobile vario (sim unlocked - using Lokiwiz02). Shop told it couldn't be done, but quite a few of you clever people had already done it, so I did too. All went well, it's now sim free!

However, I prefer the i-mate ROMs and have already got the original i-mate ROM installer ready to go.

Does anyone know if this is possible and if so, is it a straight forward procedure (regular way of upgrading a ROM), or is there anything specific I would have to do and what, if any, are the risks?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
