[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] qwerty1984:
I have a Kindle Fire HDX and would like to install Google Play Store, do some modifications, etc.

But, I have no experience with rooting devices. I want to know if it's useful to have the root password, because I actually already have it (long story--I know people who can get this information).

However, I have no idea if this is even helpful, since obviously the Fire OS doesn't "ask" you if you have root passw.

If anyone has any suggestions, let me know.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nexii:
Does Google have a patent on the notification style of the light or is it just a trademark style or something?

I had both my Nexus 5 & 7 sitting on my desk and the notification lights were both going off. They are the same style. A diffused light with little dots spread across the edges. I believe the same style of notification was on the Nexus 4 as well.

Now, the Nexus 5 is made by LG and the Nexus 7 is made by Asus.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DraghanC:
I just recently acquire myself a Sprint Galaxy S4. It is not rooted. It is running stock android 4.3 with the L720VPUEMK2 baseband. My question is can I unlock this phone to use on US gsm carriers like Tmobile and AT&T? I don't want to buy any unlock code from ebay because those codes only allow it to unlock to use for overseas. Have I had a choice I would've just bought a Tmobile, AT&T or verizon galaxy s4, but they were too expensive. Can anyone help me?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] gotablunt:
Pls read next time, anyways no you can't as of right now because only works with mdc or mdl basebands and no way to downgrade right now...mf9 and above you can international unlock tho
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DraghanC:
Darn it!!! So what you're basically saying is that even if I rooted the phone and use a rom that supports MDC or MDL basebands I still can't unlock it to use on domestic GSM carriers? If that's the case if i'm reading correctly then I guess it's time to put up the phone for sale on Swappa.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] anees02:
I think that because you can't downgrade to MDC/MDL baseband you can't unlock it in domestic GSM carrier at least currently.

The knox in bootloader denied you to downgrade to MDC/MDL baseband.

So either wait to get a solution or sell it.

How to Unlock for International Use
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] anees02:
Some users tell that they can downgrade the baseband easly to MDC/MDL baseband only.

so if you can you can unlock GSM.

Note:downgrade the baseband only ....neither the software nor bootloader.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kdheepak89:
Does anyone else have the same issues with their Xperia Z Ultra? When I connect my phone to a magnetic charging cable, the app that I'm currently in refreshes. The phone thinks it is being docked and the screen auto rotates as well.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
i have the dk30 dock and use smart connect to auto open a clock. so you could set it to do nothing within smart connect. try that
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kdheepak89:
Hamdogg! You are EVERYWHERE and always helping people. Did you get your phone back from service? I love your videos btw. I've lurked too long here without posting.

And, I actually want the phone to do nothing when I connect it to the charger. If I'm browsing chrome while the phone is on charge, and I accidentally disconnect the cable, the entire page refreshes. If I'm playing a game or watching a movie, and I'm running low on charge and connect the magnetic cable, then the entire app refreshes and I lose all progress.

I have a feeling it is an Android thing, it treats 'Docking' as some kind of special event, and was wondering if someone could figure out a way to disable it, in their custom rom or through an Xposed module. This is a very specific request, I can imagine, because very few people will have phones with magnetic charging ports and even fewer will use it to charge their phone on a regular basis.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
LOL... well, thats what XDA is all about... Thats what I think its about anyway.

Thanks for watching my videos. Gotta try and help if you can..

I'll look into it with my ROM and see what the device is doing when its docks. It may just be a simple titanium backup 'freeze' that would stop it.

Actually try that. freeze sony connect and then dock the ultra and see what happens.

got my phone back a week before xmass... 8 weeks away! man that was a killer!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kdheepak89:
I can't find a 'Sony Connect' in Titanium Backup.

Actually I'm not sure if it will be as simple as that. Because I experienced the same refreshing issue and auto rotate issue when I was using PA as well.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sebring5:
What you are describing is controlled by setting/display/daydream.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kdheepak89:
Even with Daydream turned off I'm experiencing the same refreshing and autorotate effect. And I can't seem to find any way to freeze daydream in titanium backup.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] samsmalls:
I hate this, guess it's give & take without having to remove case/un fasten usb seal everytime to charge! I've learned to be extremely careful, but one slip &....:mad:

& I believe I set it to do nothing the first time I connected the dock charger, & before I deleted the app it still refreshed & rotated:mad:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ahhamado:
hi All,

I found this problem too at Kitkat .757. the screen is auto refresh when using magnetic charging. widget, icon, everything at homescreen is refresh. the nightmare is if I'm on playing game or everything on fullscreen mode, BOOM..! the screen suddenly freeze / un-response. can't back to home screen, using power+volUp instead to force restart. try to remove any recent installed app but no result, the problem still exist. from deduction (noob) the problem is the launcher, coz I didn't find this problem on APEX. I dunno.. :/
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kdheepak89:
[FIXED!] 'Dock Mode' and Magnetic Charging

I found the solution to this issue.

If you are rooted, install Xposed and Mohammad Ag's Disable Desk Dock. Solved all my issues.

I think the dev of this module has an Xperia Z1 and has made some of the most amazing and useful modules for Xposed. I highly recommend checking them out and making a donation if you can!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ahhamado:
ah really, no thanks. I don't interested to install other unknownly framework to my system. :rolleyes:

for the first week I use magnetic charging and the issue (self-refresh) not happen. I'm not sure too, but I think some apk from market bring this issue..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
1. Both "Xposed Framework" and the module in question are open source, so go ahead and check the code.

2. Mohammad is one of the most popular and trusted module developer around, so nothing here is "unknown".

Should you be aware of modules that you find randomly on the internet? Yes. Definitely. But you're at XDA now, and the great thing about that is that if something's not right, you'll hear it. There are thousands of people installing Xposed modules at all times, and i'll bet some of them have checked the code in the most popular modules.

[Motorola Droid 4] joeynshelby:
I took the battery out of my droid 4 to replace my broken digitizer. I put the battery back in and now it won't charge. It goes from 5% to 100% and shuts off. Phone is dead. I bought one of the factory adapters from teamblackhat. When I attach it to the computer it boots up fine. Any suggestions to get it charging again?
[Motorola Droid 4] StevePritchard:
I've seen this behaviour with batteries before. Not sure if it's due to damage or not, but I've found that a) they sometimes work fine in different phones, and b) are replacement battery seems to fix the problem.

Cheers,

Steve.
[Motorola Droid 4] joeynshelby:
I tried replacing the battery with a new one with the same result. Since the battery is too dead to get into fastboot with the key combinations, I wonder if I could use adb and reboot in fastboot and flash factory firmware to get it charging again. The battery was almost dead when I removed it from the phone initially. Could it be possible some type of error was set in the software and reflashing it might solve the problem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shoerhino:
Like many of you, I've been having some trouble turning on bluetooth and it's been getting more difficult to get the bluetooth turned on. I don't have any other problems with other features, like GPS or wireless connections, but more often than not, I cannot get the bluetooth to turn on unless I reboot and toggle airplane mode a bunch of times.

As the first step in trouble shooting the problem, I decided to go back to a stock ROM since that has seemed to work for others. I deleted all of my user data and formatted system, cache, data and davlik cache before each ROM load. I first tried the stock Gingerbread ROM but the Bluetooth was still not working consistently. I then tried the ICS stock ROM but again the bluetooth did not work correctly. On each ROM, I tested the bluetooth thoroughly by power cycling the phone, using airplane mode, and trying to toggle bluetooth repeatedly. I was able to turn the bluetooth on in each ROM but it would only come on about 10% of the time and there did not appear to be a pattern of reboots or software manipulation that I could do which would cause it to turn on. Nothing seem to work so I suspected there must be a hardware problem.

I opened up the phone tonight and on a hunch, I reseated the antenna (the white antenna on the right side of the phone when it's laying on its face) by removing it and reattaching it to the board by the two ends of the antenna but did not remove it from the middle clip. I'm not sure what happened, but when I restarted, I had no wireless service which made me think I was buying a new phone tomorrow :crying: but the bluetooth was working every time! I opened the phone back up and totally removed the antenna and reseated it. This time when the phone started, I had great wireless signal and the bluetooth worked perfectly. Granted, it's only been a few hours but it's never worked so consistently since I reseated the antenna. No idea if this will last but it seems like in my case, there was an issue with the connection to the antenna. I'm not even sure if that antenna is used for the bluetooth or not.

If this works for the next couple of days, I might try buying a new antenna. If you decide to remove the antenna, make sure that you use a needle nose pliers to remove the two ends of the antenna. You do not want to pull the antenna off by the wire. Also, if you reseat it, make sure there is equal slack on each side from the middle clip because the antenna needs to fit between the two golden lines printed on the case. Otherwise, when you put the case together, it will pinch the antenna. As with all hardware changes, THERE IS A CHANCE THAT THIS WILL SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE PHONE'S ABILITY TO RECEIVE WIRELESS SIGNAL. I thought for a few minutes I would be at T Mobile tomorrow buying a replacement.

I'll report back if this works long term. Sorry if someone already mentioned this as a solution. I did quite a bit of searching and had never heard of someone trying this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shoerhino:
The attachments show the location of the antenna in the case and the close up of the antenna. If you remove the back cover and unscrew the panel from the back, the antenna is right there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darth:
Bluetooth seems to be a reoccurring issue in a lot of custom roms...for some people anyway.

If you want it to work flawlessly, as well as everything else, there's always stock 4.1.2. ;)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shoerhino:
I tried going back to the stock gingerbread and ICS. I knew that bluetooth worked when I had the stock gingerbread ROM but now in the stock gingerbread ROM, bluetooth no longer turned on consistently. I wiped everything on the phone when I went back to the stock ROM and it just did not work. That's what made me think that there was a hardware problem and possibly a poor or loose connection.

I'm not 100% convinced that reseating the antenna worked because I don't know if bluetooth even uses that antenna but I wanted to post my experience with it. I would go back to a stock ROM first to make sure that it doesn't work there before messing around with the hardware.

I am new to this forum, and just recieved my Cingular 8125 unlocked. Is there a way to assign different ringtones to different caller groups? Such as, a ringtone for person A and another ringtone for person B?

Also is there a way to modify the ringtone for a text message?

Thanks for your guys' help.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
Groups - unfortunately not. Apparently the whole Contacts app has no notion of 'Groups' whatsoever, so you would need a third party application fort hat.

That you can do - just edit the contact and tap the "Ring tone:" field.

Not per-sender, but in general:

Start > Settings > |Personal| > Sounds & Notifications* > |Notifications| > Event: "Messaging: New text message"
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] am-imate:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Technecium:
I am working on building from aosp 4.4.2. I have built it with the pre-built kernel without any problems. Then, I managed to get a custom kernel code in place and it builds. Now the only thing left to do is the initramfs/ramdisk for the custom kernel I have in place. Currenlty my build will not boot. I suspect it is using the initramfs/ramdisk from aosp.

Can someone point me to the source files or files that handle the initramfs/ramdisk? I have found bits and pieces strewn throughout the source code but cannot pinpoint the indivitual files or the script/mk file that produces the ramdisk found in the out folder after my system finishes building.

I kinow I can change the initramfs/ramdisk manually by repacking the boot.img, but I would prefer everything be completed in the updatpackage.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broodplank1337:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nizammoidu:
AOSP radisk

I am no expert but I think this is how ramdisk is built and it worked for me al the time. ramdisk is composed from the directory 'root' in the product build output folder. the contents are coming from different part of the build tree, mostly from the device source, vendor source. for eg:- check hammer head tree for omni https://github.com/omnirom/android_device_lge_hammerhead in the device.mk you can see PRODUCT_COPY entries to the root similar thing goes with vendor makefiles. If you are looking for executable built from source you can set

LOCAL_MODULE_PATH := $(TARGET_ROOT_OUT) so that they will end up in initrd
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letolkki:
related to this: I can see using PRODUCT_COPY_FILES to stage files to the root directory. but where is the directory structure created? Such as /firmware ... etc? I am trying to add a directory to the root fs. When I just create a new directory such as /foo the build fails. I want the new directory to be permanent part of the build process so solutions like unpack - modify - repack is less than satisfactory. Thanks

There is no way the MSRP on that is $99. Definitely not a "steal" as they put it.

Works flawlessly with our N5s.

Can't beat that.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
DO NOT buy this!!

It has a proprietary plug, is not micro USB, and the output is only 750mA... It will charge your phone extremely slowly compared to other Qi chargers.

Most other Qi chargers, even ones half this price have a 1000mA output.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] JD2589:
I will admit its not that fastest charger out their, but by no means it is a bad wireless charger what so ever. Takes under 3 hours to get a full charge from 0%.

I had a Tylt Wireless Charger on order and had to cancel the order after reading about their over heating issues. While N5 users using the DT900 have nothing but good things to say about it, a simple search here on XDA will prove you that.

The Nokia DT-900 is a quality wireless charger, especially when compared to any cheap eBay wireless charger you can buy, I would never set my phone on a cheap eBay wireless charger.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
If you generalize about the quality of a product strictly based on price and where you buy it from, you'll miss out on great products sorry to say. And I have done quite a bit of reading, both here on xda and elsewhere about the DT-900, and it's a mixed bag. Most of the high praise was due to the price when they had a fire sale, the performance is just average, many saying on the slow side. Also with issues of having to perfectly find the sweet spot, despite it having 3 coils.

While I agree the Tylt Vu is not my cup of tea, if you search for posts I've done about cheap Qi chargers. I've got ones that we're under $12, charge fantastically, and have no problems with detection. And yup, dirt cheap from ebay, the place where you would never set your phone down.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] JD2589:
What I meant by the cheap eBay products is that they aren't name brands, meaning they are cheaply made by god knows who...

I don't think their sale price has anything to do with it, look at Tylts they had a 50% off sale on them, and it has just exposed the overheating issue with the N5 even more because more people bought them and were affected by the issue. Whereas Nokia's also had them on sale and has gotten good reviews, barely any complaints on the N5 forums.

But we are all entitled to our own opinions, so I respect yours.

I will happily read those posts,

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mmmmBACON:
Sure I agree everyone has their own opinions. But also just because something isn't name brand doesn't mean its a cheap pos. That's another generalization you're making.
