Using FF on FireTV

So, I installed firefox from the link you gave and installed adblock. Seems to work ok. No real need for flash. My question is how to control Firefox using a remote? Either a Harmony or the official Amazon FireTV Remote app? Is there documentation for this?

Also, what was the purpose of cricfree or sportsdevil?

Thanks,

SL

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dead_one:
Hello,

I understand that there are many threads about bricked HTC Ones, but my case is the worst I've seen around. I spent the last week reading everything I could about this problem and couldn't find solutions.

So, here's what happened:

I have my HTC One for about 11 months. It's hard bricked since 6 days ago. It's still under manufacturer's warranty but there's important data I wanted to recover. During this time I had excessive care with my phone, never dropped, never had it in contact with water, never let the battery to be completely drained... there's not a single scratch on it - as good as the day I got from TMobile's store.

One week ago, after letting my phone charging during the night, I started using chrome, reading some news. After 1 minute of use the phone shut down completely. At that moment I had the battery 100% charged. When I tried to restart it I noticed the buttons Home and Back blinking for about 5 seconds.

The first thing that makes this case different from most of the HTC One bricked phones: I never rooted it. It was using the latest Android version, all software updated when updates became available. It was 100% stock. This seems to be a common problem for those who root and flash their phones.

I tried holding power for a long time and power + volume down... without having any success, I tried then every possible combination of the volume buttons and power, with and without the phone being connected to the original charger and also keeping the sensor under a bright light. I tried all solutions that worked to other people without any success. I don't have the red light, solid or blinking, the phone doesn't warm up when it's connected to the charger. I also tried different chargers and cables...

During the beginning of the past week I waited hoping that the battery should be drained so I could recharge it again. I didn't try to charge it too much because of that.

I read somewhere about someone who let his phone charging for 4 days and it started charging. After that I let it charging for 24 hours on the charger, after alternating between charger/computer.

When I connected it to the computer, it's detected as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLOADER 9008. When I press and hold power or power + volume down, after a few seconds the usb device is redetected, meaning that the buttons on the phone are reseting it and apparently working. When I use QPST, the phone is detected but in download state. The phone isn't detected when I use adb. Fastboot also doesn't do anything.

I still have a few days to try to solve it and my ONLY goal is to recover my data. I need to ask for a replacement to TMobile before June.

So, does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a way to change the download mode that my phone is?

I wish I could have access to the battery, it would be so much easier to remove it and restart... not to mention that an sd card would have saved me from a week worth of trouble. This is the last HTC I'll ever own.

thanks... any help will be appreciated!

QHSUSB_DLOAD = dead motherboard, sorry:(. Send it for repair, nothing can be done except to replace the board. There is an ''Advanced data recovery'' service on mobiletechvideos website for the M7. http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/htc-one-m7/

Removing the battery will not help. A simple sync to dropbox or google drive would also saved your data.

:rolleyes: yeah, i'm sure Asus, LG, Samsung, Moto never fails..... only HTC....

Don't blame HTC for your data loss, all devices (phones, tablets, laptops, hard drives, flash drives) will eventually die. Its our responsibility to backup important data. I understand that this is frustrating, sorry :(

Maybe you could ask your carrier or htc some time to send your phone for data recovery before sending it for repair?

[MENTION=4654136]alray[/MENTION],

Thanks for your reply. I'll call Mobile Tech Videos. Do you know if they need to actually open the phone (and void the warranty) or can they do their work through the USB connection?

In regards to HTC phones, they're great and I really liked mine while it worked, don't get me wrong... but the fact that HTC phones here in the US don't have SDCards doesn't help. If my phone had it, even with a dead motherboard I could have my data back. BTW, I have some data backup, but it's from a few months back. I was going to exchange it by an samsung s4 due to the purple camera issue (I've got 3 replacements from TMobile already and none of them was good - hence the bad taste in my mouth when I say HTC) and I'd transfer the data from my phone to my computer in the same week my phone decided to die. Absolutely bad timing :(

thank you!

you said that QHSUSB_DLOAD = dead motherboard... there's a guy in a forum who said to be able to revert the QHSUSB_DLOAD state.

He said "Hi guys! Sorry for my bad english but i'm italian. My HTC One gone in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode 3 times (it's not a joke) and i've still it in my hands" (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2599083), 7th March 2014, 11:06 AM

I wanted to know if more people were able to unbrick their phones when the phones are in download mode.

Should I really give up trying to revive my phone?

thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
If you did nothing to your phone, (S-ON, LOCKED bootloater, etc) there is nothing to do to revive your phone except sending it for repair. Your motherboard is defective and must be replaced. I did not hear any case of someone being able to revive its phone from qualcomm download mode.

either because it was caused by incorrect cpu voltage like he suggested or because he have an intermittent motherboard :laugh:

Unfortunately, I'm 99.9% sure there is nothing to do except replacing the motherboard.

good luck.

I flashed the hotplug zip and was able to OC to 2.4 Ghz. I haven't tried anything else yet.
[One (M8) Android Development] pimpmaneaton:
Okay wanted to ask this before I flashed but actually saw your source before this was posted and was really hoping to see this kernel soon, so I couldn't wait. But question on my mind and not sure if you will know the answer yet. Since it is based off of Liquids kernel, is there a possibility this could trigger the encryption bug? Super excited to see what this kernel can do and thanks for putting it all together.
[One (M8) Android Development] Ideas4ya:
Doubletap to wake works too! Great job dev!
[One (M8) Android Development] djmatt604:
That should mean sweep to sleep works too?
[One (M8) Android Development] nerotix:
Hopefully sleep2sweep gets implemented aswell, a must have for me :P
[One (M8) Android Development] xboxfanj:
Kernel tweaker can modify cpuquiet governors which trickster can't. Nothing can change msm hotplug settings unfortunately. I would try one of those two apps and see which you like better.
[One (M8) Android Development] xboxfanj:
Surprisingly, no. I had assumed it would, but I guess flar is still working on that. I could make you a build with it though (might be at the cost of dt2w and s2w). If I can though, I'll try to add it to his wake gesture code so we have all three.
[One (M8) Android Development] djmatt604:
Dbl tap to wake is easy but agreed a soft sleep will be nice. I'm getting by with Slimkat's sleep toggle but the nav sweep is a nice touch. Thanks so much for giving it a go if you do!
[One (M8) Android Development] dubbactrumpetmsu:
Sounds like this will be a good one to try. For some of those asking about S2S, what launchers are you using? I was waiting for it, and finally decided ( I'm using Inspire Launcher, of course this will work with Nova, too) to assign a double tap on the display to sleep it as well.

[One (M8) Android Development] Prod1702:
So not sure if this is the way it is, but after flashing hotplug. Two cores and it is random which two not always the same two are locked at max speed. They never go down to 300mhz or anything slower. They just get stuck at max speed. I can change the max speed and they change with that speed but they are always whatever speed I set it to. Is this the want the hotplug driver is setup?
[One (M8) Android Development] kickassdave:
That's what we're talking about.

For Intelliactive or Interactive the default governor settings set the hi-speed frequency to max.

This isn't ideal.

If you lower the load setting for hi-speed and lower the hi-speed frequency the phone will ramp to that setting first and only move up if it needs to.

Getting close to ideal settings which I can share, but need others help on a couple of the settings.

There must also be some way of spending just a little more time on frequencies below and adobe the set hi-speed frequency which it isn't doing too much.
[One (M8) Android Development] Freak07:
Nono i mean interactive works fine for me.

Intelliactive is just stuck at Max freq the whole time even when doing nothing.

What setting should I exactly change for intelliactive to get it to scaling?
[One (M8) Android Development] kickassdave:
I'm afraid I could find even less information on ideal settings for Intelliactive than I could for Interactive, but basically, turn "boost" off if it's on. And you want to set hispeed freq to ~70% of max freq. So the 1.4 or 1.5GHz step.

The other tunables can be configured to spend more or less time at this frequency, but it still seems to spend just a little too long at this step.

Searching for the governor that provides generally good battery like ondemand but the UI snappiness of Interactive is a tough game

We need experts in on this in all honesty. The two places I found recommended settings for Interactive were for some other phone/kernel and an actual PC. And they are OK, but should be tuned specifically for the device we have as one set of settings won't suit all devices.

Cmon guys, some of you must be able to get this finely tuned for us, I can't be the only one who just wants a mega snappy phone. This phone is extremely fast in all circumstances on Sense ROMs, would be fantastic to match it in AOSP :)

Believe it or not but I've also been working on some optimised values for these settings but the above covers any gaps I had!

Thank you!!

I'm on Vanir at the moment. Latest nightly. I presume in that case I'm already using your kernel? It says #1 in about phone. So think I'm going to save this profile and reflash your latest version.

This phone is currently FLYING and without spending all it's time at high frequencies.

Happy to share my settings with all.

Great work to anyone that helped.

Do you want me to use the OPO values by default, or do yours perform better?
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
Those are some pretty nice setting for interactive. Can we just change them manually? If we can change them with something like root explorer would a reboot change them back to default.
[One (M8) Android Development] kickassdave:
Just use Trickster and set on boot option?
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
Does trickster allow you to enter these values cause on faux clock I can only put in one entry unless I'm doing it wrong

interactive/above_hispeed_delay "20000 1400000:40000 1700000:20000"

interactive/target_loads "85 1500000:90 1800000:70"

Franco has slightly different values for the OnePlusOne, which he says offer the same responsiveness, but a bit extra battery.

timer_slack "-1 800000:30000 1100000:40000 1700000:20000"

timer_rate "60000 500000:40000 1500000:30000 2000000:20000"

min_sample_time "40000 1700000:80000"

Let me know how these are.
[One (M8) Android Development] nflchampion:
Is it possible to bake these settings directly into the kernel, maybe as interactive-KAD and interactive-franco? I ask because it would be a lot easier too compare performance by being able to click between then as opposed to manual entry of different variables. If not, I guess I can get to punching them in and try not to screw anything up.
[One (M8) Android Development] Freak07:
I changed them manually with root explorer but afterwards I used faux after updating governor tab to set the values on boot.

You could also just create an init.d script to set the values. Just Google it, it's quite simple :)
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
So how do we apply these values trickster and faux clock only allow one????

---------- Post added at 01:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 PM ----------

I just tried with root explorer but they did not stick once I exit and return they are back to what I have them set in faux clock. Should I unchecked set on boot first then apply in root explorer
[One (M8) Android Development] Freak07:
After applying with root explorer you choose save and exit right?

Try also to fc apps like faux before editing them manually. If all fails try the init.d script.
[One (M8) Android Development] xboxfanj:
I can easily set them in ramdisk, but I am not sure how to set them in the kernel itself to let you switch between during the same boot. I can however, give you two different boot.imgs which you can flash between.
[One (M8) Android Development] xboxfanj:
2 Boot.imgs

I'm kind of glad I got everyone talking about this. We're really making awesome progress.

[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
Yes sir you got me going ocd over the interactive gov. I'm not on this kernel currently only reason is I just personally don't like the cpuquiet I prefer Intelliplug or an in kernel mpdec. But I'm glad peeps are showing interest in fine tuning things. Mad props to the OP for being so helpful also. Going to flash the boot IMG. He posted in a few here waiting to get a full charge.
[One (M8) Android Development] xboxfanj:
Why do you prefer mpdec and intelliplug? I'm certainly open to different hotplug drivers, but in my testing, those have performed worse. Intelliplug, I haven't tried since Paul's first few sense builds, but mpdec I tried recently on this kernel and it both performed and benchmarked considerably worse than cpuquiet.
[One (M8) Android Development] nflchampion:
I'm getting great performance/battery with the modified Franco kernel, undervolting 50.
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
I personally don't go by benchmarks but by how smooth it feels. Truth is I never really gave it a shot cause I don't like kernel tweaker. But I did look at it and maybe I will read up on it. Guess I'm just used to what I have previously used. The setting I am using right now have terrible bench marks but its smooth as hell.
[One (M8) Android Development] xboxfanj:
I use trickstermod normally, but with kernel tweaker, you can change the cpuquiet governors.
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
I know I read thru this thread and actually saw your post on that but just really need to do some research on cpuquiet. I personally like all 4 cores up an running at the same time does cpuquiet allow this?
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
OK I just flashed the one you posted with Franco settings and read up on cpuquiet a little bit and gotta say it is the **** I should have researched before nocking it. The guy who ported over uses Franco's makobhotplug in the load stats gov for cpuquiet. Keep this in here no need to change.

Also is there any reason after I flashed the kernel my batteryvwent from 62% prior to flashing is now reading as fully charged and hasn't moved lol.

---------- Post added 13th July 2014 at 12:00 AM ---------- Previous post was 12th July 2014 at 11:43 PM ----------

Franco version is A-one only problem is it changes my battery to fully charged. And will not read correctly. I can confirm this cause flashing back to furnace kernel the battery displays the correct percentage how do I fix this thanks for the shiznit

So I turned the phone off and plugged the phone to the charger and its all good now.
[One (M8) Android Development] kickassdave:
How do I edit these settings without resetting them? Trickster just seems to overwrite them as it doesn't take multiple values for each governor tweak.
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
I had to use kernel tweaker it will let you.
[One (M8) Android Development] xboxfanj:
Battery does seem to discharge slowly, but for me, I believe it's been accurate. Have you tried the build with one plus one governor settings?
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
I tried both like you posted back in the thread they are basically the same besides Franco version is more battery friendly so I am going to stick with Franco version so far its been running good I'm on a full charge so I can really see what kinda battery I get.

The battery issue I had I solved by plugging charger in the phone with the phone powered off. The battery calibration got screwed up in recovery some how and was reading incorrectly. But that recalibrated back to normal.

By the way battery draining slowly is a good thing[emoji106]

---------- Post added at 10:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 AM ----------

I'd also like to add in I basically left all cpuquiet setting stock except for input_boost_CPUs. Cause it makes it a bit smoother. Using the load_stats gov. Which is basically mako hotplug ported to the quietcpu gov which I think is extremely cool. Also kernel tweaker is a must with your kernel if you wanna take full advantage of all the settings thanks
[One (M8) Android Development] dandan2980:
OK I started tweaking the **** out of this thing and reading a lot of searched material and I think I nailed it for an extremely smooth ui not sure about battery yet but I'm using kernel tweaker with the excalibur Franco zip posted a few pages back as my starting point but I basically switched up a lot but using the preset values in the interactive governor kinda help me with experimenting with my settings. I didn't run any benches cause those are pointless but ui is extremley smooth give em a try wanna share I have spent hours of tweaking lol. Apps like tapatalk have no hope they will always stutter Lol

Also I UV -25 across the board using Row scheduler read ahead is set at 1024

Deleting system/bin/thermal-engine and removing ro.input.noresample=1 from build.prop seems to help a bit. Let me know if you guys agree and I can remove those two things from my ROMs and in the script here.

What ROM is yours Vanir and Eos
[One (M8) Android Development] xboxfanj:
I do both Vanir and Eos. Deleting thermal-engine switches to the in-kernel thermal throttling, which is a bit less agressive. Re-enabling touch resampling should improve sensitivity and scrolling speed.
