Remember HDX had been exploited and rooted, then update overrides it, then all new comers lost the opportunity. When a little bit less developers (who didn't root last time or has 'spare time'/spare unrooted device starts to look at it again, they update again. When even lesser developers starts to look at the the next update, they update again. When the next exploit is finally found, the next morning, you know what? They update again.

You see, it's a human pathetic psychology patience torturing game they are playing, not a technical one. Forget rooting this device or even roms, move on people. You lost.

Sounds like a challenge to me. I'll put my money on the XDA team.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] evilgrin98:
Pantywads

Agreed. Sorry to be harsh, but get your panties out of a twist, fellows. Amazon is updating their devices because they're launching new services, and if they can take the opportunity to block root attempts, then they'll take it. I find it hard to believe blocking root would be a corporate priority enough to justify its own update schedule.

In this instance, Amazon just launched their Fire TV service, and the HDX has been updated accordingly:

Amazon Rolls Out Update for Kindle Fire HDX, Adds Support for Fire TV

panic

- I noticed that amazon has not really respect our customers by updating silently and quietly her.

- Any 1 phone maker or tablet when you want to update the device software that their customers buy, they must now inform and update the content of it.

- Customers using the money to buy the equipment rather than amazon amazon gift or loan equipment to customers should the amazon software updates without specify the content nor consulted all agree equipment updated or not this is one of not respecting its customers!!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] conan1600:
I think what you're saying is that installing updates without user permission is disrespectful? I agree if so. Once purchased an owner is not really an owner of a Kindle fire, simply the hands that hold an amazon controlled screen. I won't be selling mine though. It is in the closet where it will stay until it is able to be rooted again as I refuse to pass it off on someone else. Since I am the tech guru of my extended family I am advising all my friends and family not to purchase the Kindle fire HDX. I knew I was taking a chance when buying the Kindle that I would not be able to root or get play store. I gambled and lost but that's what the guru does, it's in the job description. I can now steer my friends into buying a superior product from another manufacturer.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] foxstefano:
I can understand anyone's disappointment, I'm disappointed too, but maybe it would be nice to read Amazon terms of use before buying or using a Kindle device http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=footer_cou?ie=UTF8&nodeId=508088

It's in the box, too...
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] conan1600:
No one here is saying they did not know it was risk to buy a device for hardware buddy. Thank you for being so helpful though. Since when are terms needed to make an observation that Amazon is actively blocking root lol. That's all the OP did. Que the guy who comes out defending Amazon lol. We are sorry for making a posts about the device we bought.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] vdsno1:
I also have the same opinion as you, you have to make comments like I thought. I also recommend you to friends and relatives not to buy amazon kindle fire hdx anymore because too often regarded clients, I'm also looking forward to the upcoming Nexus 8 and I would never use production equipment amazon again!!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] evilgrin98:
Amazon is an interesting beast because they've so divided all their different teams that they can on the one hand be the best friend of developers (their cloud computer system) and on the other hand follow Apple right into a closed-device ecosystem. This does no seem scizophrenic to me or likely to them because their cloud services are built for developers and their devices are built for consumers.

I share in the disappointment about how difficult it is to root this device, but our community has already hashed these arguments out concerning how closed Apple's systems are and how "unfriendly" to the power user. That's why we have one of my favorite jokes: "John has enough money to buy an iPhone, but he buys an Android because he's not an asshole."

It's enough to take note that Amazon is taking Android captive in their Fire version and following in Apple's footsteps, which anyone versed in the Kindle's history and Bezo's attitude towards the device might expect. Next time, most of us will buy a real Android tablet and keep our playground, and due to the shoddy state of the Amazon Appstore and their other services, and our input, consumers may well follow. You'll know it for sure if they ever boot the Netflix app from their Appstore; that would be one straw too far for most "normal" users but might appear strategically sound to an Amazon exec as they push their Fire TV service.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] murso74:
It was cheap for what it is, and my amazon instant looks great on it. I'd never buy a device these days assuming it will get root or the boot loader cracked.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] conan1600:
Surely you jest? 99.95% of all tablets released in 2014 have either a bootloader bypass and root or no bootloader lock and root or an e fuse warranty bypass to the bootloader such as Knox and root. While I agree with your statement in part, you say it as if we shouldnt expect it because it isnt being done lol. It was even done on this tablets weeks after coming out. Most likely several months down the road someone will have broke the HDX again as well and this dry spell will be a distant memory. Of course I expect a tablet to be rooted, why wouldnt I? But I am also an adult who knows sometimes things don't come to fruition. I bought mine at release for $400.00 so that isn't really cheap imho but different strokes for different folks.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] juustinn:
I'd assume they would allow us to root for the opportunity to turn the device into full android thereby eliminating the Nexus tablet.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] GSLEON3:
Yeah, I have been able to maintain root & block each update attempt while maintaining both AMZ & Google services, but the unannounced updates definitely bug the hell out of me. You should have a choice in updates, particularly since updates often times come with bugs or other unforeseen consequences. Since I actually do use the HDX for some business, the last thing I want to find is that I lost some stock feature because they wanted to add flash cards & break root.

At any rate, the real reason I am moving on from the HDX is because I only use it as I am (was) a big consumer of Amazon services. Only now they have raised the rate of Prime membership once again. There are too many other options for shopping for physical goods, as well as media, to justify paying another increase in membership. Once my Prime member ship is expired, I will not be renewing this time & thus no longer have any need for anything Amazon.

I think eventually they will learn, just like B&N, that it doesn't earn them anything more & if anything just puts more people off. Fire TV will flop as the HDX is flopping & they will discover that they can sell more units & still retain their base by opening up to more competition. But that's not going to happen until Bezos is being advised again by the types that started the company & have moved on to their own start ups. Nope, the old guard mentality just won't work any more & while it may maintain the status quo a while longer, in the end it will cost you way more than anything you managed to cling to.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] evilgrin98:
GSLEON3, I appreciate your working on the HDX root and understand your moving on from the project. This is all reasonable. I have free access to the HDX and Prime because of my work, and that won't change, so I have somewhat illegitimately incentivized patience here.

Concerning Prime membership, I thought you might be interested in this article, though I did NOT confirm that as of today the instructions are still valid. They may have expired.

Still, getting to pay the old price doesn't negate our annoyance at their recent policies.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] vdsno1:
I hope that the developers work together to root and can also unlock the bootloader!

I just found a way to block ota updates without disrupting other Amazon apps.:D

All we need to do is root another version and

we can all

stay on that version.

But as of now mark ota off your list boys I got it taken care of.

Plus it's fool proof.

[Moto X Q&A] KiaTheKing:
Hi guys, i just wanna ask what phone is better, XSP or Moto X.

Now i have XSP but im bored with Sony :D i just wanna replace it with Moto X is it good upgrade or ?

I know they have simmilar proc.... and adreno 320 but i want to know is there any options to automatic hide navigation keys when playing games (i think is there option in system :D ) Yup there is touchless control and i really like it :D And one more que... Is screen on Moto X better than on my XSP and why :D (Amoled :P think its better)?

;) maybe to add more money and buy nexus 5 or something.

Just reply if you want, and please dont post : search the internet! cause i know that forum is here to ask :P Thanks and sorry for my bad english :D

Does this phone have good software support by motorola and developers ?
[Moto X Q&A] drago10029:
some game hide navigation keys, screen on the moto x is 720p PRETTY SHARP, i saw no difference between this and the HTC One screen.

Also Nexus 5 is a cheaper phone than the moto x. and software support is decent, they have some bugs with the stock messaging app and they update their other apps regularly thru the play store.

honestly youtube is better for phone. you get to see all the features and screen in person. highly recommend it!!

Hello all

I have found a really annoying problem on my XDA EXec (O2). If I have wireless turned on, then the wireless goes out of range, the XDA automatically tries to dial the GPRS number. This is really annoying and I'd like to disable this feature.

Is it possible?

Thanks in advance

vijay555 has a great software to toggle GPRS on and off (and also turn off GPRS).

Don't know if that will solve the problem.

Received the M8 a few days ago and the LED works OK as it lights up on charging...BUT that's it no missed call or Email SMS etc.

Looking around various forums it looks like there are some issues probably software related as people have exchanged phones and still had the issue.

I had the same problem. I read on another forum that if you install another launcher the led stops working for notifications. When I first setup my phone restored apps and one of them happened to be a launcher. I did factory reset did not restore any apps and notifications led started working again. I'm not sure if another launcher had anything to do with it but the fix worked for me.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deltanet1983:
For me the notification LED works from day one, did not had a problem, i did restore my apps from backup but i never used any other launcher so i cannot confirm that is the problem.

I'm also having the same problem with the LED notification. I really don't want to do a factory reset so i'm still hoping that there is a solution to this. The LED lights up during charging but does not light up at all for text message or email or other notifications. I'm using nova launcher so some are saying that it is because of these third party launchers that is the cause but i'm still wondering how can that really effect the LED. I hope somebody can really enlighten us on this.

Notification LED only works if your screen is off. The LED for charging will illuminate no matter if screen is off or on

Yep, I was just about to say this. Notification LEDs only come on if you receive the text/email/whatever while the screen is off. If the screen is on when you receive the notification, even if you don't open it, the LED won't blink.

It fixed the issue for me and the other users...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andyw2100:
With the help of someone posting in another thread, I actually got Light Flow working reasonably well.

You have to make sure that LED notifications are off in the phone's settings.

On Light Flow's settings select Direct Mode and Root Mode. (The other poster also had the HTC alternate direct mode selected.)

When you set the LED color, initially set Green or Deep Orange. This may or may not even matter, as you are then going to select the "Enable Mixer" option further down.

I've found that with this setup I can get flashing or solid green or amber lights, and conceivably could even combine the two, as the other poster pointed out. Also the alerts stay on with the screen on, which is useful.

Good luck.

This is the only app that I have found that actually works to overcome the 5min limit on a HTC phone. It works spot on with my m8. No other app would work properly and I tried practically everyone on the market including lightflow.

I also bought the pro version as it was well worth it.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cytherian:
Sorry for bumping an old thread... But I can't seem to find an answer for this issue.

My phone was perfectly fine, LED notification worked without problems. When I'd plug in, a large bright LED would show RED while charging, then GREEN when fully charged. Suddenly one day I happened to notice the charging LED no longer functions. It does not come on when I plug in my phone using a variety of micro USB cords I have on hand (which previously worked).

The notification LED does work, which is a very small pinpoint LED hidden behind the speaker grille. It will flash when alarm is going off, a call is coming in, or a message is left. Previously when charging, the LED would be larger (not sure if it's a separate LED or if it is one LED with different brightness steps).

Oddly enough, when I ran the diagnostic in both normal and safe mode, the LED will not come on. Very puzzling...

My phone hasn't been physically abused. I can't fathom how this could be a hardware issue, unless this LED is notorious for being flaky. I'd seen reference to that German authored app, but could not find it anywhere. Now Marshmallow is available, so I upgraded to that expecting all the core code is replaced and that this would fix it (instead of having to do a factory reset) and still... no LED.

My phone is out of warranty, so I don't want to pay the equivalent of a great condition used M8 just to fix the damned LED... unless there's some DIY way to restore it. Any advice or tips someone can lend? Thanks.

The first one works for sure, it will do the same thing as factory reset in Settings: wipe everything. (it might delete internal storage, but I'm not sure)

The rest are probably for old Samsung phones without Android. I had a Samsung X510, and when I tried to unlock it, it didn't detect any SIMcard thereafter so I would be careful with those.

Note that all these codes work only on stock roms.
