[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] CJD14:
Do you have a custom recovery? TWRP? when I first got my nexus being so unused to not having an SD card I accidentally wiped everything including my system storage everything even the backups. It wouldn't even let me get to recovery it just sat at the logo forever like ur saying. I managed to get it to the bootloader (which was unlocked by the way still) with the key combo, used the volume navigation to get to the recovery option. It booted after a bit to my amazement. Then luckily I had a USB OTG adapter so I downloaded a new ROM put it on the USB Drive, mounted it in TWRP, then was able to flash it and skipped stock and save it from its infinite bootloop. though obviously you should probably use the factory image. Idk this would obviously require an OTG USB adapter.. They are cheap and could get one expedited if need be I suppose.

Just thought I'd mention that cuz I was surprised it worked out for me. And if u managed to get to the custom recovery flash at any point in the past it should work for you too.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timonoj:
Hi guys,

This morning I just found out that unzip is taking 354MB of data just for itself. I never use this app, I just have it installed in case other apps use it as a library (ES file explorer, TB and similar?). Anyone knows what might have caused this crazy usage?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deandoi:
Cache
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timonoj:
...could you ellaborate? Not sure if this means the cache of the device is too large, it's intending to keep some sort of cache for another app (which one?), or something else I don't get.

The unzip app has 0B of cache and 0B of data on storage.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deandoi:
maybe it's storing data from previously extracted files. check you file explorer for the folder of the app.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timonoj:
Damn. Now I understand. It's my fault due to a very poor explanation (noticed the issue early in the morning, didn't even have breakfast back then). I shoiuld have said 354MB of mobile data, either sent or downloaded.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deandoi:

[Google Chromecast] tomg09:
So, got a question...

How hard would it be/would it be possible to cross-compile a media player for the cc (something that can be run from CLI like vlc), put it on an external storage device (if cc recognizes a connected USB device while the rom is running - maybe eureka rom, bhiga?), mount a samba share, and play a wider variety of movie formats.

So the solution would look something like this...

1. Put vlc binary on flash drive connected to cc via powered OTG cable

2. Ssh in to cc

3. Mount network samba share containing videos

4. Play whatever videos from vlc operated by cli over samba, replacing dial

Not really a programmer, and have absolutely no idea how a cc works... But it seems to me that a solution like this, while unwieldy, would allow one to bypass the limitations of cc's implementation of dial.

What do y'all think?
[Google Chromecast] tomg09:
And what about other binaries? Something like apache, php... Maybe turn the cc into a cheap webserver?
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
I think one of the Team Eureka folks said the USB storage isn't available at normal runtime, but I could be mistaken.

Webserver is definitely possible, as that's what the Eureka Web Panel is, but general-purpose webserver use would be limited by both wireless bandwidth and moreso by the lack of storage (unless USB actually does work),

An important thing to keep in mind here... Unlike Android phones, tablets and TV sticks, Chromecast is much more scaled down and limited in design. I consider phones, tablets and TV sticks as Android-powered devices with the qualification that they are meant to be interacted with, apps installed, expanded, etc.

Think of Chromecast it more of an "accessory," black box or dumb terminal. Chromecast is more of an "extension" to those user-configurable devices.

Remember the ViewSonic AirPanel? Technically it is a computer, but a very limited (embedded) one. While it mirrored the primary screen of the computer, rather than being a second screen, it's a similar model. The AirPanel has some intelligence to accelerate the user experience but the core processing is done on the computer it's attached to.

Neither AirPanel nor Chromecast are meant to be interacted with directly at the device level, or loaded down with a lot of background processes. Chromecast doesn't have an interactive UI of its own, nor does it have external input (keyboard, mouse, touchscreen, etc) like your typical Android device does.

I wouldn't surprised if a number of "standard" libraries that your typical Android platform has simply aren't there.

I'm not saying getting VLC on it is impossible - I really don't know, but I do think it's improbable and would require a great deal of effort.

Without hardware acceleration or SDK/API support, you're relying purely on the software processing, and I haven't found much in the way of detailed specs on the platform itself. I have seen mention of the platform supporting other compression formats that Google isn't supporting yet, like MPEG-2, so it remains to be seen what Google's long-term plans are.

Not trying to be a downer here, just trying to keep things in perspective. After all, Google didn't sell us a $35 PS4 equivalent. :)
[Google Chromecast] tomg09:
So, if I'm understanding correctly, this sounds like a software limitation...Clearly the hardware is compatible - Flashcast relies on it. I don't know much about the intricacies of programming for mobile devices, but conceptually it would seem possible to make usb accessible during normal operation if it's accessible to something like Flashcast. I would love to read up on Flashcast more...it's just that normally things like flashcast which are very specific to certain hardware and require exploitation of particular holes/flaws in the software residing on that device are not normally very well documented.

How is it that Flashcast "unlocks" the functionality of USB OTG, and what limits its use when the device is booted normally? Is it something in the bootloader? Does Flashcast "hijack" the bootloader and use a different one?

EDIT: Or even how about something like this: Create an image like the recovery image that's flashed to a USB Drive, except make the "recovery image" a full ROM. That way, ROM gets access to USB device, we have much more room to put other features/binaries, etc, and then there's built in storage...Would something like that work?
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
As I understand things, FlashCast runs in recovery mode, which uses its own bootloader - which is what allows access to OTG.

If that code isn't in the normal mode bootloader, then OTG won't be accessible. It might be loadable via a kernel module, but it seems the current Android direction is to disallow loading of kernel modules (probably because it's a potential security hole).

There's more information about how and why FlashCast works in the FlashCast thread.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyhdownsouth:
Was it error 7, if so its because you need to remove the asserts from the ROM. Also if you flashed a ROM from another model that is not compatible with your phone, you probably soft bricked or fully bricked it. If it goes into download mode, its not fully bricked. Try download mode by holding volume down, home, and power button together. Also philz advanced cwm recovery is the only one not giving me any problems these days.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
Download the full nae tar and install with odin. You can find it in Random45's thread in the development section. This will return you to stock NAE and you will need to re root and re install fgr's NAE hotspot mod. Best way to fix your problem.

Did you make a nandroid backup with twrp? If not you should always make one before you do anything just in case you run into a problem. You can always restore it if something goes wrong. I've learned over the years to make a nandroid backup before flashing anything.

Should be fine, just needs rom.

The rom you were trying to flash was corrupted and the MD5 sum wasn't the same. If you want to avoid this again then I would suggest to get an MD5 sum checker program easily found and downloaded via a google search. You can download the rom, take note of the MD5 and then check before trying to flash....

i often use gps (geocaching) and sometimes my display stays black (i only see the backlight? at the bottom of the display) when i press power-button to awake from standby. the app i was using before screenlocking used gps. after this i have to use a combination of holding power and volume-button(?) to force a restart.

this time a was at home and used google maps and switched back to browser. the screen freezed (i see the browser) and display is still on (this happend 25min ago).

this logcat was around 2-3min after freeze: pastebin .com/6BJH5QxB

I have just got an XDA Exec from O2 and I have just put my Orange SIM in and it works, so the unit is unlocked.

Now my last phone was a Nokia 6310i and that maintained a GSM signal at my house very well.

BUT the new XDA Exec does not and the GSM Signal is coming and going. If I can't resolve this I will have to return the unit and go back to the old phone!!!

So is there anything I can do to hold the GSM signal better? Is there a ROM that is better? I am currently running the latest O2 ROM.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] admisi:
I had this problem because the Band is set to auto. In my area there is a very weak 3G signal (UMTS) so the phone would get stuck trying to latch on to 3G, then would bounce back to GPRS etc etc.... Better to switch the Band to GSM (also saves battery power) and only switch to WCDMA(3G) when you really need it. Click on the signal icon, then settings, then Band, and change it to "GSM". Worked for me.

Would be nice if we could get a little shortcut to make this switch easier with one click. Anybody have any ideas or know of any little app that will toggle between GSM and UMTS(WCDMA) for us?

I'm getting ready to return my recently purchased skyrocket due to the "no sim card" error (it never worked since purchase last week). I had already installed a few custom ROMs and radios trying to get it to work, so I went thru the process of attempting to return it to stock. In download mode I don't see any indication of the flash counter having incremented. However, when I type *#06#, the IMEI number shows the expected number followed by a /6. On a different stock ROM it showed /7. It seems to be changing as I flash different ROMs. Does anyone know what this number indicates?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoCGHOST:
I have read where the KitKat upgrade for the G2 is supposed to add speed and increase battery life even further. For me however it seems its the opposite. I have had way worse battery life since installing (pc lg tool) the KitKat update. I was going all day with anywhere from 40 - 30% left when it was finally plugged in for the night, now I am lucky if I make it to the end of the night. At first I thought perhaps it was just in need of a reboot, but I have done that several times since installation and battery times are still worse. What I don't understand is the battery meter says "System" is to blame for 53% cpu time. Before screen time was my number one battery drain, now its just from being on?.... I don't get it..
