You can use my recovery. look after my posts and flash it with Mobile Uncle directly if you have root on it.it's version 5.5.0.4 and the backups generated are ok to restore.

Hey guys,

I have a little problem with my Moto G: the vibration intensity is too weak and when my phone is in my pocket, I can't feel the incoming messages and calls. This is a big problem because of this I always miss calls and important messages. Is there any option to adjust the vibration intensity?

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately there's not an option to change vibration intensity without rooting your phone.

[General Questions and Answers] DamienMc:
i just bought a phone one month ago, a BLU Studio 5.5....

well this phone does not have any custom roms for it like so many other of these mtk phones that have flooded the market, so i started my quest of finding a compatible rom for it.

i tried a rom from a Gionee G2 (specifically WBW5883GI_0301_T5425) as these phones are pretty much identical....the short version is it wasnt compatible and it failed to load, so i immediately reflashed my original backup.

but when it loaded my touch is no longer calibrated properly. for instance to press the home button i must press the screen about one inch higher and slightly to the left. as you can imagine the phone is pretty much unusable now, its a pain just making a call let alone doing anything else on it.

since then ive reflashed it many times. ive factory reset many times. ive tried multiple recalibration apks. ive tried the calibration.ini trick. ive even went as far as making a full 4gb raw backup from an identical phone...nothing has remedied this problem.

this is a mt6589 phone, ive tried flashing with both sp flash tool and cwm, as well as nvram restore from MtkDroidTools.

is the calibration data stored in some inaccessible location?

was this just a coincidence that my digitizer went wacky during a flash?

anyone else ever hear of a similar problem?

any and all comments are welcome...any more info needed just ask

-D

[edit0]

some more info

the calibration is the same in cwm also.

the calibration seems to be good at the top left of the screen, and get worse the farther you get from that position

Following this guide I've tried to root this:

The half root works perfectly, Titanium Backup runs without problems.

However, this bootfixer seems to work with other C2005 Xperia M dual devices.

In Classic mode there are only one field for both a brand and a model. If you are profi, try this.

In Lite you'll find two separate fields: the first one for a brand, the second one for a model. For beginners and those who know only brands.

If you get stuck, try to change mode to Lite and guess a brand.

I will be completely honest I am a complete retard when understanding how rooting works... But I have done the process a dozen of times and I havent had any major problems but for this root I cant figure it out! So here is my problem....

Verizon sent me an update to the newest system version (98.72.189.XT894.Verizon.en.US) so naturally I downloaded and installed the update and it UNROOTED my phone! I no longer have safestrap and superuser access and such. So I have tried different techniques and different programs on rooting this bad boy such as Motofail and Razrs_edge and I still cant get it to work... Both programs have the usual errors of "Permission Denied" or "Unable to". So all and all.... I NEED HELP!

Here is what I do know like im 99% sure about

-I have all the drivers and their is no yellow triangle and I have motorola device manager.

-I have Unknown Sources checked and USB debugging checked.

-I also forced stopped smart actions cuz I read on a post that I was causing problems while rooting.

Here is what I do NOT know

-Which USB mode do I need to be on? Mass Storage? MTP? idk!

-Do it matter that I am on 4.1.2?

Again I want to thank you for your time and I really would like some help with this darn thing! I am kinda desperate right now..

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmandel:
I have a Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 (2012) both running the same version of KitKat.

On the Nexus 4 there are a few Apps that die if I switch away for anything (home screen, back, email, etc).

The same Apps on the Nexus 7 stay alive and keep running in the background and let me return to them. If they are streaming audio, the audio continues (on the the Nexus 4 the audio dies immediately).

Is there any way for me to fix this on the Nexus 4?
[Google Chromecast] hasenbein1966:
Hello folks,

I got my Chromecast, it works, I like it.

But I find it unnerving that the system is so closed.

Some guy has, months ago, released something he called "PiCast" as an open alternative on the Raspberry Pi.

I wonder: Why aren't there more devs bringing an open, extensible alternative, installable on a Raspberry Pi or other small computer, to life? I really don't understand it, since. like I see it, it doesn't seem particularly complicated! The following features would at least have to be implemented:

***********************************************

- media player software which can play a broad palette of formats and stream from different sources (VLC, Mplayer etc. come to mind an can surely be used as a part of the project)

- web interface which accepts URLs (web or LAN) of files that are to be played and passes them to the media player; and which accepts control commands for the now playing file like pause, forward etc.

Most convenient would be if these URLs could not only be http ones, but also SMB, streaming protocols etc.

Don't we all want a device where we NOT are confined to certain formats?

- apps for computers and mobile devices which let the user choose files he wants to watch / listen to and pass the URL to the web interface and which pass control commands like pause, forward to the web interface

- a customized, lean OS with a Chromecast-like, very simple UI

*************************************************

Any thoughts?

Best wishes,

Hasenbein
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
The entire reason for the CCast (which essentially replaced the GoogleTV fiasco) was to keep the system closed enough to get Content providers to support it due to the ability to use DRM and control the players being used.

Why do you think other projects like XBMC still to this day do NOT (and will NEVER) have access to Netflix for any sustainable time because Netflix will change their encryption and break any player app they do not have complete control over.

GoogleTV was actually blacklisted by the network websites to prevent it from playing content. All because it was just a little too open for their liking.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
What [MENTION=744716]Asphyx[/MENTION] said, plus Android TV sticks have been around for quite some time and already do similar. The key difference is market share. History is littered with proposed "standards" that never won. In the end it's not what is better, sometimes not even what's cheaper, but what picks up.

Iomega's Zip drive was inferior to SyQuest EZ drive, but Iomega won by marketing and hence adoption. Developers had more incentive to support Zip drives (not that much was specifically required but still) because there was a wider audience and market for them.

Adobe's changing the design market the same way. I still have CS6, but more and more I'm getting files from people on CC. And it's annoying. Essentially I'm being forced into CC if I want to work with anybody outside of my four walls.

Even though it's only available in select retail channels, Google is pushing Chromecast with TV ads. The fact that they've sold (or at least shipped) millions is a strong testament to its adoption rate. Even at my local stores, I can say just by the serial numbers they've cycled through, at least 500 have left the shelf since August 2013.

The market share attracts content providers, and the closed nature gives their lawyers ease regarding theft. Sure, there will always be people supporting TV sticks with clever solutions that are free or near-free, though they sometimes require jumping through numerous hoops (even moreso than Chromecast of today), and if something doesn't work as required, it involved researching. It's not like you can put in a support ticket or call support. Granted, Chromecast support isn't outstanding... but many of my non-techy friends have adopted Chromecast, even without hearing from me, and these are not people who visit XDA, nor are they people who would ever have run across or even considered an Android TV stick, nor are they people who have any idea of what an Arduino or Raspberry Pi is.

The draw is the consumer, and the consumer needs content to consume. Which means longevity of the product/concept/standard depends on support from the content providers.
[Google Chromecast] cmstlist:
At the price point of Chromecast it seems to be designed to draw in not just first timers, but also customers who may already have a media to TV solution but it's lacking in simplicity or quality. E.g. maybe you have a powerful HTPC that suits all your needs but Netflix is in low-def for DRM reasons. And YouTube stutters on 1080p because Windows keeps trying to do other things in the background while you play it. OK then you put $35 down on a Chromecast and now your Netflix & YouTube videos look better.

And similarly, it's cheap enough that if Chromecast alone does not suit your needs, you can say, well hey, all I spent on the Chromecast was $35, so I don't see why that should stop me from also buying that other media box that does more things.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
I'm definitely in this boat.

I have a semi-Smart TV that supports YouTube, Amazon, and a about 12 other "channels" - but its interface is slow and clunky. It also doesn't support DLNA video (sadly, one model year too early).

I have a HTPC that I use to play DVDs and Blu-rays from my media server, and even though I have a BT keyboard remote for it, navigating between Windows Media Center and browser-sourced video is fiddly.

Chromecast didn't replace my HTPC, it's just giving me a much easier way to view those browser-sourced videos.

However, if/when Chromecast gets DVD and BD playback, it very well might replace my HTPC...

Vudu ultraviolet on Chromecast will displace the need for a disc player or home video server for a number of people. Not sure yet but I'll probably be one of them.
[Google Chromecast] Rooksx:
Yup. I really care about picture quality, so Chromecast offers the cheapest way to get SuperHD Netflix on my TV. If I wasn't bothered about the quality, I'd just connect my tablet with a cable whenever I wanted to watch something.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Interesting service and a good idea....

Unfortunately $2 per SD conversion of DVD or $5 to HD is a bit too pricey considering how I have the equipment to rip my own DVD (I have more than 3000 titles in my collection), do the Upconvert and even rip the subtitles to put into an MKV.

But this service will do well because of the sheer number of people who do not have the capability to do that and the ease of use.

I wonder are they actually converting your DVDs or are they doing the much smarter thing and letting you insert the disk, check it for validity and then just giving you access to the already encoded content they have stored?
[Google Chromecast] EarlyMon:
The second one, so far as I know.

And if you just enter your digital copy information that works too.

My son-in-law does that but I haven't asked him about the details - he's very happy with the service though.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
It's a great Idea....

I have a similar validation system I use....

If I own it already on disc then I feel I have the right to download it if I choose...I paid them their cut so no Guilt involved.

LOL

Similar but I don't pay the conversion fee!
[Google Chromecast] EarlyMon:
I have a small collection.

I got tired years ago of format changes, player upkeep and having more plastic in the house, so I've been satisfied with rentals. I keep a few favorites on my shelves just in case.

And I had one of my media servers die of old age a few months ago. I'm tired of maintaining my own cloud. Been there, done that. Still do my music and just a few movies now.

I like the ultraviolet model, it sounds simple to me.

And to the OP -

LocalCast does direct entry of http and smb addresses.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
yeah unfortunately I live in a very rural area and Cable and Internet outages are common (all the damn trees!)

So when that happens I really have no other recourse than to use whatever is on my Media server to entertain myself...

I went out and invested in a good NAS with Raid that holds 16Tb worth of drives (don't get full16Tbs with Raid though...I may even need to double that soon as I'm running out of space).

My Media Server is my HTPC so I can simply replace that unit if it craps out and just re-install the server software and map the drives.

Been checking out that Chromecast store app...a Lot of stuff in there I didn't know about...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PostMeridianLyf:
I'm on virgin 3.1.2 and I'm still habit the same issues. When I turn my screen back on after letting the phone sit for an hour I start getting every notification that should have came in when the screen was off. My phone says im on mk2 modem but I still only have 2 bars of lte like like I had on MDL. Also my bootloader says write protection enabled, is this stopping me from. Getting my modem flashed correctly?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Harmtan2:
Flashing of MDL wont magically make your signal better. Might help with consistency and other things, but it won't make your bars go up. With the new TW update on 4.4.2 samsung has manipulated the signal to make it look better, but you're not actually getting a better LTE signal, it's just telling you the bars of your HSPA signal to make it look better. As far as the MK2 vs MDL modem, it wont make your LTE signal boost either, it will just make your signal not drop so often. Signal has more to do with the tower distance and type of frequency its using than software on the phone. Hope this clears a couple things up for ya.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PostMeridianLyf:
I get good speeds, just always only shows 2 bars. Sometimes I will watch it go from lte to 4g then 3g then the signals dissappear and I lose all signal for a few seconds. Then it comes back to lte.

Not worried about it now , tmobile sent me a replacement phone and even on stock it has the same signal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
I don't think its showing the hspa signal, I've had 3 hspa phones in about as many years and the number of bars showing is not the same like my other phones.. I'm not saying they didn't manipulate it because I tested it and compared dBm signal strength when i first updated to KK and its the same as I've always gotten, it just reports higher bars, my s3 shows 3 bars, my s4 5 bars, both on hspa and same exact dBm signal
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Harmtan2:
Depends on which HSPA signal it's reading. Sammy may have programmed it to read the 1900 signal rather than the 1700 signal which will report higher signal strength. I've compared the bars of one of the phones in the local store here in town, and the bars of the hspa coresponded with the dbm on the other phone when I forced it into wcdma only mode.
