Sorry for knocking a 9 month old Thread , but I am trying to make Cifs Manager work for my Gflex.

i'm running Android 4.4.2 , Kernel 3.4.0 Build KOT49I.D95520a .

I've Downloaded the Kernel Source tar.gz from LG : LGD955_Gflex_Kikat_V20a_Kernel.tar.gz

And I just cannot seem to produce a cifs.ko module that is succesfully loaded with insmod on the device.

I keep getting this in dmesg: no symbol version for module_layout

I was trying to use this thread for instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2531407&page=3

and this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2531407&page=3

[MENTION=2157009] forrestgump2000[/MENTION] How did you do it for LG G2 ? It should be almost the same for the Gflex, could you perhaps lend a hand? Please?

I am trying to build it on Mac OSX , installed with macports gcc4.9 , using CROSS_COMPILE=/Downloads/android-ndk-r10c/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.9/prebuilt/darwin-x86_64/bin/arm-linux-androideabi- , ARCH=arm,SUBARCH=arm

make EXTRA_CFLAGS=-fno-pic M=fs/cifs Tells me about some versioning , then I run make modules before to create that file and then it doesn't complain.

Running out of ideas..... (will try a Ubuntu VM soon if nothing works...)

Thank you!

Dear LG OpenSource Team,

I am currently trying very hard to compile a new module for my current kernel:LGD955_Gflex_Kikat_V20a_Kernel.zip

My work environment is the following:

Vmware Ubuntu 14.01 LTS , gcc 4.8

I have unpacked your kernel source and tried the following:

cp arch/arm/configs/z-open-com-perf_defconfig .

make z-open-com-perf_defconfig prepare headers_install scripts ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-androideabi- O=build KERNELRELEASE=3.4.0-perf-g551cabf

make menuconfig ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-androideabi- O=build KERNELRELEASE=3.4.0-perf-g551cabf

Chosen Network File System Support -> CIFS (M) and saved.

make modules ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-androideabi- O=build KERNELRELEASE=3.4.0-perf-g551cabf

adb push fs/cifs/cifs.ko /data/local/modules/

chmod 644 /data/local/modules/cifs.ko

insmod /data/local/modules/cifs.ko gives this Failure Message : … failed (Exec format error)

dmesg has this message inside: no symbol version for module_layout

Sounds like a sticky home button to me. Do you have a stick on screen protector on? Maybe something holding it up.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trubster:
I am hoping someone would be kind enough to help, I have spent hours searching the net and still can't find the answer

I have the Note 3 on Three UK which allows unlimited data and tethering, I can tether to my PC no problem.

I want to tether to my wired devices which I currently connect using a router and Netgear WN3000RP Range Extender, this set up works fine when I connect to my main router.

I tried to set up my tethering to the WN3000RP and it connects, but does not share the connection. I did the firmware check and it said there is no new version - so that tells me the extender is accessing the internet, but going out of it, no connection to the internet

I have tried pinging 192.168.43.1 which is no use - fail

Has anyone done this before? is there an app to help?

I am not sure what the problem is but I have tried everything - resets, reboots, restores etc.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aengus4h:
what are your wired devices looking for as the default gateway and DNS, are they trying to DHCP for their address?

If they can identify the phone and ping it then at least you have comms up to the edge but the gateway and DNS need to be set for them to reach further and out to the web.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trubster:
After much hair extraction, I think I have finally figured this out!

I was not setting any security and using MAC filtering on the phone instead of encryption as the bridge was struggling. As soon as I connected the extender, I added it as an authorised device, then connected to my pc and nothing.

After much messing about, I put some rubbish apps on which reset all the settings and renamed the APN to (APPNAME_COOL) or whatever it was and removed the MAC Filtering - and it works

So, I dont quite understand this, but the setup goes

1) Note 3 - WIFI Tether

2) Netgear Range Extender - RJ45 to

3) Netgear DSL Router - RJ45 to 4 different devices

Now all these 5 devices show up as connected by wireless, I thought the router would be connected to the extender and the extender to the phone as totally different devices, not passed down each step of the way.

Oh well, now on to the next amazing challenge, I have just put OpenWRT on the router and am aiming to set this up with my ADSL from downstairs and my DC-HSDPA as a "Bonded" connection to give me download speeds of about 40-45meg!

Thats a long way off though as I have not even got 1 connected via wireless yet, so still using extender+router

Not too shabby, but could be better :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aengus4h:
good to hear you got it working :)

I take it your DSL router is connected to an ISP? You may find that you get contention between the router and the tether in terms of where traffic ends up going, will depend on where the devices see the default gateway taking them. If the router were a cable type you might get away with the extender plugged in to the WAN port so all traffic would route via the 4G tether. Wouldn't then extend the range for other devices that well if the phone isn't there to provide the uplink to the isp.

Am on EE myself, not unlimited data (3GB) but last check I got 40-50Mb download and 24Mb up :D

Hello from a newbie & sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, but I can't seem to find it anywhere for the 2014 edition. :o

I've bought a 32Gb LTE Note 10.1 2014 edition from Hong Kong and needless to say it comes with a heavily biased Chinese version of the operating system, now having read other fora, I have managed to understand how to flash the device using Odin, however I was after a UK (BTU) version of the rom, but what I have got is the Spanish one.

OK, I have no problem with it as I have changed all of the settings to use UK English, but I am looking for a way to change the CSC code to from PHE (Spanish) to BTU (UK) so that I can get any firmware updates for it.

The one thing I want to do is keep it as near to stock condition as possible, namely I don't want to root it :confused: (is that what it's called?).

Can someone please advise me how to do this please.

Thanks.

[MENTION=2582213]Ben81[/MENTION].

That despite it saying it's a BTU firmware isn't. It's the one I downloaded and is the Spanish one (PHE), I really do wish that those who provide these firmwares ensure that when they say it's from the UK it IS from the UK and when you do the flash it gives you the correct CSC code, when you plug it into Kies.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Ben81:
Thanks for the info. Will probably still flash that as it'll be better than the Chinese one!

EDIT: Installed it and can confirm it gives a PHE code.

Hello,

I rooted my phone correctly(lost everything thought)and then i tried to flash cyanogen mod 10.1

After doing that , via fastboot mode i rebooted my phone into system.

After that, i plugged my phone to the computer but the only light that is shown is red and when i try to put it into fastboot mode the light flashes 3 times(i suppose its telling me that there is no battery).

The phone does not charge when i plug it to a regular charger, only a red stable light is on when it is plugged to the computer but even in this way of charging it, it cannot start.To tell you the truth it only started once in recovery mode and then it couldnt start again.

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iosandroid:
I bought a Sony XTZ couple weeks ago. I love everything about this tablet, until I watched a movie on Netflix on it. It is borderline blurry compared to streaming the same title on Windows 8 or iPad. So I thought it's just a Netflix thing, until last night I played a movie from Google Play. It looked absolutely horrible, SD quality. It is not my internet connection speed as I get 100/30Mbps here.

I Googled this subject and found no information about this. Am I seeing things or is there something wrong with my Sony XTZ?
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iosandroid:
So I did some more reading, apparently Sony didn't pay for licensing for HD playback on the XTZ :confused::silly: I've read that even Sony's own video services do not offer HD playback on the XTZ. Wow, just wow. I really love this tablet but this is a deal breaker.

I have 4 more days to request a return on this. I was trying to get it to update to the latest 10.4.1.b.0.101 but it's not available yet. I will give it 3 more days to see if the update hits, and see if it enables HD playback. If not I have to return it which will be unfortunate and very disappointing.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesusitox12:
Please tell me this is not true ..

Please tell me this is not true DAMMN im about to buy this tablet ..( not waiting for the z2 because the tablet is on 350$ deal so yeah..)

i love watching netflix :) and i when i see this .. well no, just no i have like 24 hours before the deals end .. someone tell me that i can watch hd content on it .. is it netflix only or all hd playback?
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iosandroid:
Yes, all streaming HD services. Very disappointing as I loved everything about this tablet. I really wanted it to work, so much so that I called Xperia support even knowing it'd be a waste of time. First thing I was asked was if I can copy the movies to my XTZ to be played.

This appears to affect the entire range of Xperia devices including the flagship Z1 Ultra. I'll link two samples I found here, but I saw the same complaints on other Xperia devices. I've found no complaints about Netflix, but trust me, if you watch the same title on Netflix with any other devices, the quality difference will be clear - it's way sharper even on a 720p device than on the XTZ.

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iosandroid:
I don't know if the XTZ 2 will not have that issue - this seems to be an issue with every Xperia devices even the Z1 Ultra which came out not that long ago..
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iosandroid:
So I returned the XTZ and bought an LG G Pad 8.3, and find that the LG also has poor Netflix streaming quality, but at least the LG can play HD contents from Google Play which the XTZ would only play SD quality.

Did some more reading on this matter. 1080p Netflix on Android requires Android 4.3 (which the XTZ does in fact have) that has additional DRM API built-in, but it seems the ONLY Android device that can do 1080p streaming is the Nexus 7 2013. One might say on a smallish tablet device 720p vs 1080p shouldn't matter. I probably would've thought so myself if I hadn't been spoiled by the biting sharpness from iPads and Windows 8 devices when watching Netflix. The difference is immediately noticeable.

I've attached some pictures to show the difference in case anyone is interested to see. The difference in person is greater than these pictures show.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsfdfsdfs:
I'm pretty sure all non-Nexus 7 2013 devices only get 480p, hence the low quality. Netflix help pages also say HD is only supported on "new Nexus 7".
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iosandroid:
What is the reasoning for this? That's ridiculous.

I kid you not, the regular iPad Mini with the 1024x768 screen and the Dell Windows 8.1 8" 1280x800 tablets look much sharper than the non-Nexus 7 full HD Android tablets I've tried so far. Yes I had a 2013 Nexus 7 previously and Netflix is very sharp on it. This inconsistent experience from Android is a big turn off, although I like the LG G Pad a lot and it is a keeper. I'll just use my other gadgets when I watch Netflix.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngvuanh:
I don't think there would be much differences in your images above.

Since each tablet you used has different brightness and contrast, so the picture sharpness looks different.

I have attached my photos showing pictures from XTZ and iPad Air. The two are a little out of sync.

Look at detail of Liam's shirt. They are the same on both XTZ and Air.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsfdfsdfs:
I believe it is because of DRM mess, i.e. the Widevine DRM interfaces are not implemented properly or something about it is different, etc.

I modified the Netflix APK to enable verbose logging and I looked through the code, and it seems to check specifically for Nexus 7 2013 on Android 4.3 only to enable Widevine DRM mode, otherwise the Widevine mode is disabled (which, I guess, disables HD playback completely). On Android 4.4 there is no separate check for device name, so maybe HD playback could work with Netflix for any 4.4 tablet that implements the Android Widevine DRM interface properly (or it could be it is limited in other places as well)...

And yes, the playback doesn't go above 480p according to the logs on my Tablet Z.

You can't see any quality difference in the pictures because the photo resolution is way too low for that. 480p video has 480 pixels in the vertical direction, and your photos doesn't even have that amount of vertical pixels for each display.

To definitely see what resolution your Netflix is maxing out at, search for "example short" in Netflix and play the "Example Short 23.976" video (in U.S. Netflix). The video shows the current playback bitrate and size in the upper-left corner. For me it maxes out at "1750 kbps, 720x480", which is consistent with what I saw in the APK, and which is not HD.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iosandroid:
Sorry to bump this old thread, but it seems Netflix has finally let it loose on full HD streaming to other Android devices, at least on both my LG (G Pad 8.3 and G2 phone). I think since two Netflix app updates ago. The difference is immediately noticeable - same biting sharpness I've been used to from iPads and Windows 8.1. I imagine this would be across the board on all Android devices.

I remembered this thread when I searched "LG G Pad Netflix stuttering", which very surprisingly was rectified by rebooting the G Pad.

Edit, seems Netflix has "fixed" it again with the new update. The super sharpness is once again gone. In trying to fix the stuttering issue, I updated the Netflix app to the current release. I'm not seeing things. I've gone nuts since the XTZ in trying to see what's going on with Netflix on Android. I settled on a scene on Skyfall. At 12:21 the conference call speaker (plus M's wrinkles on her face), you'll see the very fine details when on HD, which I saw on the G Pad on the last Netflix app update. It's gone now.

I give up.

Edit 2: I think Netflix is messing around with things on their backend. A couple days ago I started noticing titles actually say "HD" when browsing on the Android app. Now it's gone. I went as far as downloading the .apk for 3.3.3 and 3.4.0, nope HD is gone.

Now I give up.

very poor product, equally poor customer service

I bought this tablet thinking it would be amazing, dust proof, water resistant, slim slick design, SD card etc. It is very poor for the price I paid here in UK £380, live streaming rarely works, it goes off after about 30 seconds. Battery life poor, takes forever charging. Uploading videos is shocking, producing such poor quality videos even from the HD GoPro cameras, it's all blurry. I wish now I had stuck with my original plan of staying with Apple. Waste of money, customer service on Twitter absolutely useless, saying for me to do the same thing "system repair" black black black, why should we have to do this after paying nearly £400 for a tablet. I did do the system repair process and it made absolutely no difference whatsoever. Avoid Sony Xperia at all costs.

Back to Apple for me after my refund. Boom ;)

downgrade to root?

first, thanks! Very nice guide. I'm new to the experia world, my previous phone was a Desire S.

I have a question:

I have a problem with all stock roms with the mediaserver process. It is always running while I listen to music (which is a lot of time) and drains a lot of battery (up to 65%). Though I use poweramp player which is totally independent of the process (own library and decoder). On my Desire S on CM11 I don't have the issue this is why I want to move to a custom rom. I'm on 4.3 now (was hoping this would fix the issue) and want to root and full backup with keys for warranty purposes and then move to a custom rom.

Is it right that I have to downgrade first, since there is no root for 4.3 yet? If yes, what ROM? I have a C5303 and don't know what version I had previously. I bought it in Switzerland without SIMlock or any branding. Is there a way I can find out what my previous version was or can I basically just use any generic C5303 version?

Would you recommend 12.0.A.1.284 in order to be able to use DoomLords rootkit: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=42701183#post42701183 ?
