[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nagle3092:
User experience sells, the less work a user has to do to access content the better.

As for all the security complaints I dont see the issue. People are looking way to much into this. Worst case your firetv goes to the wrong house and someone starts buying movies with it. Then you get on the phone/computer and deactivate the device and then contact amazon and get refunded, they probably have some of the best customer service anywhere. I ordered a gpu from the amazon warehouse and all I got was an empty box(you could tell something was amiss by the shipping weight), called them and got refunded the $500 something I paid in a matter of 2 minutes. Also its not like they are going to have access to buy a 80" 4K tv from your firetv, worst they could do is a couple seasons of shows. Also if you don't notice that your device isn't delivered after its marked as delivered, well then you probably have worse things going on.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whoamanwtf:
I am 80% sure that I never had to type in any passwords before making a purchase and I bought Plex and Sev pretty much right after it updated.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarvoke:
so, before booting for the first time, I did this:

- delete device from my amazon account

- delete all autoloaded-because-of-firetv apps from my amazon account

the behavior on first boot was:

- dl latest software

- reboot

- install latest software

- reboot

- continue install latest software

- check for updates

- ask me to register with email/pass

- stupid tutorial video

I tried hitting Esc, which did quit the video - for some reason dropped me back to the Wifi setup screen. got past that and then the tutorial video started again, from the very beginning.

other notes:

all of those autoloaded apps are on the device anyway, and there is no way to delete them (yet)

and they all reappeared in my app list in my amazon account webpage.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomBlue:
When I got mine and first plugged it in, it prompted me for my Amazon username and password. I believe it also prompted me to enable parental controls, either that or I went into setting immediately and turned that on. That allowed me to protect purchases with a PIN.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phil402:
In Germany Amazon will pre-register Kindles.

If u want to avoid registering it to your account u can mark it as a gift i think
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ETFoneHome:
I remembered purchasing a Fire HDX for a friend using my account and it came preregistered for me. :D All I have to do is de-authorize and reset it.

I have already set up a pin for one-click. I'm don't know if this is a default option now but Amazon should make it more secure.

Another scary thing, is saving your WiFi passwords, that will link to your account.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] myk.robinson:
I have read another thread on here with people having the issue of VERY delayed MMS using Hangouts. Just wondering if there is a definitive resolution to this yet, or if anyone even knows what the root cause is? I'm guessing its not the app in and of itself, otherwise one would think it would happen on every device.

Wonder if manually entering an APN would help.

Just looking for ideas...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] myk.robinson:
I will say this. I tested using the stock Messaging app, and everything seems to work as quickly as expected. I love using Hangouts, but perhaps until a proper fix is found, I just need to use the native stock app :(
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dynofrk666:
I'm also having SMS/MMS issues using hangouts with this phone, seems like even regular SMS messages sometimes take up to 5 minutes to send, and usually send 2 or 3 of the same message, and I'll receive duplicate messages back. It's strange, i had zero problems with hangouts on the previous HTC One using hangouts, hopefully an update or something fixes it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] BFirebird101:
I'm having no issues

Sent from my HTC One M8!

U WOT M8?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] myk.robinson:
Hmmm.. SMS works flawlessly, but if I try to send to multiple recipients or send a picture, it may take a good five minutes or more. And if you delete the picture, it just pops back up later.

Stock works fine, I just want it all in one ;)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] replica9000:
I have no problems with regular SMS with Hangouts. MMS is slow. Think every MMS I've received had to retry before I got it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bloodiedwraith:
This happened when Hangouts was first released when using on the HTC One M7. We're probably going to have to wait for an update from Google before it's fixed.
[Moto X Q&A] chris420o:
I have a motomaker moto x on vzw which is obviously locked...im rooted on 4.4 because i need gravity box at least since i cant get custom roms(ugh) so i havent upgraded to 4.4.2 yet because it hasnt been rooted...my question was has it been rooted because i cant find anything about it anywhere...and if not is anyone working on it? as much as i love this phone i really miss unlocking and rooting
[Moto X Q&A] 640k:
there is no root method for 4.4.2 (covered extensively). your only option (for now) is to sit on your current version or apply a ROM that gives you 4.4.2 functionality (but you're still on 4.4 kernel).
[Moto X Q&A] super65man:
BUMPING for interest
[Moto X Q&A] IEcansuckit:
I feel ya man. I'm also sitting on rooted 4.4 wishing I could update to 4.4.2. I like the stock OS on this phone so I don't feel the need to have an unlocked bootloader, but I would love to be able to have the latest OS version. Although I don't think it's a huge update anyways. I've seriously thought about going back to stock and updating to 4.4.2, but I would miss root WAY too much. I love being able to tether without asking for Verizon's permission.
[Moto X Q&A] underdog1799:
At least you have root. I'm sitting on 4.4.2 waiting for root. So wish I could use xposed...
[Moto X Q&A] doitinthedirt:
Did you order your x from the moto design website? Or from verizen?

[Moto X Q&A] underdog1799:

[Moto X Q&A] doitinthedirt:
When did you order it? I placed an order two days ago for a design your own.. a guy here posted he got his two days ago and it had 4.4 on it so thought mine might come with 4.4
[Moto X Q&A] underdog1799:
Mine was ordered a month ago or so. I think it probably is hit or miss whether it has been updated or not. But mine was actually on 4.4 and it updated to 4.4.2 overnight
[Moto X Q&A] :
If you realllllly want root....i'd return the phone and get a dev edition. Otherwise you may be stuck on 4.4.

[Moto X Q&A] doitinthedirt:
Well 4.4 would be fine, Im stuck on 4.1.2 as of now on my razrM since they quit updating than.

The first fone i rooted was the razrM and i changed the entitlementcheck to get tethering for my unlimited data.. since than ive accepted two OTA and lost root but the change i made to entitlement check when i had root and write protection disabled still stayed after root was wiped by the OTA. This is puzzling i dont see why guys are loosing entitlement check after losing root with 4.4.2 on moto x
[Moto X Q&A] :
Basically I think moto saw the exploit and simply closed the door on it. ?

[Moto X Q&A] KilerG:
Yeah I'm dying hoping someone will swoop in and help us get a root exploit going. I'm not quite sure why no one has done it...maybe we need to make a thread like the bootloader unlock one where the dev would make some money if they got root going.
[Moto X Q&A] :
Unlocking the bootloader does solve all this. And the bounty is huge.

Sent from my N5, N7, Moto X, G Tab 3 or S2.....
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
You are asking about root, but if you want usable root on the X you need two parts 1. Root Exploit, and 2. An Exploit that allows for disabling Write Protection.

When Write Protection is enabled (the phone's default state with locked bootloader, or the state you are in after you take the 4.4.2 OTA), any changes made to /system, or the like, (including, but not limited to, App installs, file modifications, deletions, renames, etc) are not permanent and are lost at power off/on.

Even if you have root, but lost Write Protection, any apps you've installed that need to write to system can't permanently save their changes (you have to re-do every time your phone powers off/on), and any Root type app, or app that gets installed to /system after WP is enabled will be lost at power off/on.

MotoWpNoMo was used on 4.4. and below to Disable Write Protection. Part of the 4.4.2 update patches the exploit that MotoWpNoMo used, so it wont work on 4.4.2.

SlapMyMoto/RockMyMoto/etc, used on 4.4 and lower, involved downgrading the rom to use an exploit in 4.2.2 to gain root. But with 4.4.2 you can't downgrade the rom safely, without risk of bricking your phone, anymore.

JCASE has already posted he has an exploit to use to gain root on 4.4.2, but due to job and family, wont release it until the fall. Who knows what ROM Moto will push out by then, and if they will have patched the exploit already. BUT before you get made at JCASE for waiting so long, that doesn't address a Write Protection dis-abler. I've not seen any talk about work on that for locked bootloaders (when you unlock the bootloader, like on Dev Editions, the write protection is disabled). So JCASE could release his Root exploit, he or someone could develop that process, but it would be kind of useless without the ability to disable write protection.

Trust me, *IF* or when a Root and Write Protection bypass is out, you will see threads on it. Until then, you have to sit tight.

If you are rooted with write protection disabled, you might want to check out the SafeStrap discussions over at Rootzwiki.com. That might at least afford you a way to run 4.4.2

And of course [MENTION=4036181]kj2112[/MENTION] suggestion of getting a Develpper Edition so you can unlock the bootloader and root no matter what rom version, is the best advice. Yes, its more expensive than a subsidized X, signing a contract, but its worth it if you *NEED* or *WANT* root & write protection disabled. (and selling your current X is an option to get cash towards the Dev Edition)
[Moto X Q&A] zenofase:
This website claims root on 4.4.2.

http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entry/Root-Moto-X-KitKat

Anyone hear or try it yet?
[Moto X Q&A] The Tallest:
It's already being discussed here. I don't think it works as that site claims it does though.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
As [MENTION=5365501]The Tallest[/MENTION] says, its already being disucssed in that other thread.

Even so, *IF* it safely works, it is only a potential root, but does nothing for write protection.
[Moto X Q&A] zenofase:
Too bad. At least it's a possible step in the right direction.

[Xperia Z2 General] funky0308:
And Qualcom announced S808 and 810 CPU based on 64 bit architecture.

Z1 is great, Z2 is awesome...

We could only imagine what will Sony present with Z3 or Z4 (or whatever they named them).

Sony will rule in Android world.

If they add navigation bar control through settings UI - I could leave without root on something like Z3/Z4.
[Xperia Z2 General] CandyAndy:
Better than pureview? Z1 third best camera phone?I something is not right here..

I'm saying Z1 has best camera...

And last part... See .that... Sony will rule - so, really don't know where did you found that.
[Xperia Z2 General] napkun:
If you read their assessment the tests are done to compare overall camera performance and not just image quality of the photos, they also include video performance as well. The Z2 and the pureview have the same score in image quality but the Z2 trumps the pureview in aspects such as exposure and autofocus, which are all accounted for in the final score. I'm no camera expert but DxOMark are supposedly one of the best in camera reviews, the Z2 is looking even more promising then ever :D
[Xperia Z2 General] iDroid8:
Highly impressive that it best the pureview. Does waterproofing a camera effect it's performance? If so, then it's even more impressive. ♋
[Xperia Z2 General] krabman:
I tend to agree that camera performance should include some measure of accessibility. If a camera can only take great shots in manual mode after fiddling with 17 settings in perfect light on days you got lucky with the old lady and a promotion at work it isn't as useful day to day as one where you can just press the button and get a lesser but decent shot to me.
[Xperia Z2 General] schecter7:
Ok - my z2 is on its way. I wasn't expecting too much improvement over z1 which is already awesome- but looks like I was wrong

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
No direct rooting.

You can however read some threads and follow this advice

1) Downgrade to a FTF ending in .534 (Find it in the mega collection thread, the OP there has all the instructions needed)

2) Install dual recovery (Find it in the cross device development thread, the OP there has all the instructions needed)

3) Flash SuperSU.zip from chainfire (Google supersu chainfire)

4) Flash a 4.4.2 ROM of your choice. (Find them in the development section, the OP there has all the instructions needed)

4 easy steps to get root. No need to back up TA, no need to unlock the bootloader.

3) Flash SuperSU.zip from chainfire (Google supersu chainfire) because i saw this on the playstore do i need to flash or install on phone and if flash how to flash apk to phone ?

sorry for noobish questions
