[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spelvin:
It is only an assumption, but I am guessing that apps such as the Xfinity TV app by Comcast are setup that way so that people can not use devices such as the FireTV and the Ouya as a replacement for renting a set top box from them. Yes, I can get around this issue by going on wifi, but why use an worst connection method when there may be another way around it? Also Androids open environment is supposed to encourage the creation of alternative ways of doing things.

Looking through other threads, there appears to be a desire for an app that spoofs wifi for people who are also only on 4G or other wireless methods. Having an app on android that could spoof a wifi connection when you are 3G or 4G wireless would be just as useful for some people.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chahk:
I can see the usefulness of such an app, but it would probably require a rooted device. As far as I know, Fire TV has not been rooted yet.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrostyOrDie:
It has been rooted. But the method has not been shared yet. I believe he said it wasn't ready for release yet. Something along those lines. At any rate it will be eventually

Every time I try to flash CWM into Huawei G700-U10 (MT6589) I got into bootloop thanks to the tutorial about how to restore it.

I tried every thing like (mobile uncle , MTK Droid Tools , SP Flash tool) and I did all the steps I found on the internet and tested many CWM recoveries downloaded for the G700 or even I ported from the stock recovery.

when I flash the CWM it stop booting until I reflash the stock recovery.

Does any one know How to solve this and get any custom recovery into this phone .

Hi! I have tried multiple times now to update officially my Huawei and every time I try it goes to recovery and flashes the rom, and then fails with message "installation aborted". Im tired to this, so can anyone help me? Thanks!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] tileeq:
Explain what you did step by step so we can better understand the situation that you are in.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] LeJo199:
First, I download the file what contains the update.

2. Then it asks do I want to take backup from my contacts etc.

3. Phone shuts down and turns up again

4. Recovery mode comes up

5. It starts to flash the update

6. Message "installation aborted" comes up

7. I have to reboot my phone with volume keys

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] phame:
Hey what up guys.. I was wondering can anyone confirm that the TytN has EDGE ready to use? Or is it only EDGE enabled?

I own a DOPDO 838 pro(TytN) and i live in HongKong. I have EDGE on my SIM card. Before using the 838 pro(TyTn) i was using an o2 ATOM. And with the atom when i was getting EDGE reception the "G" Symbol would change from to an "E"

However i notice with my Hermes i dont ever see the "G" change into a "E". The speed seems about 30% faster then normal GPRS though. And when i do a speed test i get results like:

54 Kb/s

36 Kb/s

So can someone confirm if these are EDGE speeds? Does EDGE work on the Hermes?

Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] eelco_akker:
You could use the Edge Registry Tweak to know if you have Edge Reception.

whats the EDGE registry tweak? Can you please explain..sorry im new to this
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pof:
The edge registry tweak only worked in wizard, doesn't work on tytn.

And yes, the Hermes supports EDGE, you don't have to do anything special.

Speed per kbs?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nj0fr@:
Hello!

I had purple tint on my old HTC One, so I sent it for repairs under warranty and I got a completely new unit. It was working for a day, but today it couldn't connect to the network. At first I thought it was a HW issue, but I realized that Dialer was crashing with a message: "com.htc.htcdialer is not responding.". That made me think it was a software problem, so I tried doing a factory reset in HBOOT, but now htcdialer is still crashing, and I can't even go through initial setup, it just keeps rebooting when I try to unlock it for the first time. Is there any other way to flash a ROM, without being able to boot the phone?

Everything is completely stock, bootloader is locked and phone is not rooted. I updated it to the latest available version, 4.4.2 with Sense 5.5, I'm unsure what version it exactly is. I would like to keep it stock for at least a couple of days in case there is a hardware failure and I have to send it back to service, but I can do anything if it's necessary.

Thank you very much.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bhavpreet:
Since its completely stock and you just got the phone, I wouldnt bother going through and installing a custom rom, its too much of a hassle and if it ends up being a hardware problem its an even bigger issue.

I'd contact HTC again and see if they can do anything about it, or just send it back again under warranty. Flashing a custom rom in your situation isnt worth it imo.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nj0fr@:
That's exactly what I've been thinking.

I was actually able to get it to go through initial setup between reboots and I was able to install a RUU, a the same thing is happening again, so I'm pretty sure it's HW related. And it still isn't getting any signal. It's a bit of a problem because I have to bring it to a store 150km away, but I'll have to do it :crying:

Ahh that sucks. Call them and make some excuse about how you cant come to the store and see if you can ship it to them.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strangeprotocol:
Good Day all !

I am resident of India and looking forward to buying a SD variant of Note 3 aka n900t or n9005.

My confusion stems from number of reason

1) I would be soon moving to Canada ( Vancouver Island ) and hence require LTE or atleast 3g to work there.

2) I am an active firmware flasher and would prefer a device with a bootloader unlocked.

These are the following 2 options where i can buy from ( Remove dot and add " . " :rolleyes:)

n9005 variant (UK model)

ebay(dot)in/itm/121340307949

or

n900t variant

ebay(dot)in/itm/NEW-Samsung-Galaxy-Note3-N900T-32GB-T-Mobile-4G-LTE-1-Yr-Seller-Wty-Black-COLOUR-/231223375840?pt=IN_Mobile_Phones&hash=item35d5fcb7e0&_uhb=1

Now from what i understand N9005 bootloader is locked ? and doesnt have the required frequencies to get data on Canadian networks?

The n900t listing apparently only has a software unlock and doesnt have a factory unlock hence it needs to be unlocked again incase the update disables it so I am slightly less inclined towards it. However looking at all aspects I am ready to pick it up if its better value preposition as compared to n9005 based on my preferences,

Please advice.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirrtyswan:
N900T will give you LTE coverage in the US and Canada as they both use band 4 and 7 for LTE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks)

Here is the full list of n900t bands:

GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900 UMTS: Band 1 (2100), Band 2 (1900), Band 4 (1700), Band 5 (850)

LTE: Band 4 (1700), Band 17 (700), Band 1 (2100), Band 2 (1900), Band 5 (850), Band 7 (2600)

As for your n9005 questions, you can read through this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2458539

Seems like N900T is the better answer here as it will give you hspa+ in india, and 3g/hspa+/LTE in canada and the US, while having an unlocked bootloader. As long as its SIM / Region unlocked, which is fairly easy to do.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strangeprotocol:
Ah that's a perfect reply. I did compare lte bands but well it looked n9005 had more bands and lol so thought it may have better comaptibility. Any way t-mobile note 3 it is.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
There is also the option of N900W8, which has certain advantages (I think it has the 1900 band which N900T does not but instead has 1700, also W8 has a "friendlier" bootloader).

You should also check the 3G/4G coverage in the area under discussion - as far as I know in cities coverage is OK but in other places the coverage is poor.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strangeprotocol:
Well unfortunately n900w8 is not avaible in India and getting it through negrielectronics or overseas would be cumbersome. The safest is to go get via ebay in India. So do you thing because of missing 1900 band n900t will have issues with getting 3g everywhere. I am least concerned bout LTE and pretty satisfied with 3g speeds .
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirrtyswan:
Good point, I was about to edit my post to say something like that. OP should be considering N900T vs N900w8 model, which is made for Canada. I did a little initial ready and it looks like N900T is compatible with canadian carriers, but you absolutely have to root it and flash different modems on it to make it work flawlessly. It also depends on which carrier you go with in Canada - bell / telus / wind etc.

There is some discussion on it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2529972

So yeah, be prepared to do some tinkering with modems.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
I am not even 100% convinced you can cross-flash modems, more research would be needed on that direction if the decision is based on that.

However regarding the precise bands - I know that most carriers have the coverage maps available on their websites, so the original poster could look on that and select a carrier, then check the precise bands.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strangeprotocol:
Well what only concerns me is whether if n900t will get 3g speeds atleast across all the carriers or will n9005 have that scenario. I am not really bothered bout LTE. By the does n9005 uk devices bootloader unlocked?

I am not really thinking of cross flashing various modems if its possible all i just want a device which gets data better than 2g speeds. I have been through various threadsper given links and other research prior and well everywhere there are conflicting reports.

If your card is formatted exFAT, I think only CheckM8's kernel will support exFAT formatting (not sue about Faux' kernel).

If it's formatted FAT32, then you've stumbled into a "feature" of KitKat 4.4.2. There's literally dozens of threads all over xda about that.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] TheBigApple:
Hello,

few days ago I've bought a Huawei Ascend P6, had rooted & updated it to 4.4. As i've tried out the functionality, i noticed the safe boot option and tried it out. (I was curios, because i don't knew this before.)

So, some seconds after the GUI is visible, the system shutdown. Sometimes it starts in the Lockscreen, sometimes in the Homescreen, mostly all of the reboots, the GUI is reloading.

Vibrations are working, but the touchscreen doesn't. As a result of the unremovable battery, i cant enforce a full normal shutdown.

Unfortunately. I haven't made a backup of the internal storage, so i would prefer a fix or a way i could backup the internal storage, before reinstalling.

Some advice, how i can fix that? I would be deeply grateful for some tips.

EDIT: After battery clearing & "normal" boot, same again.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Frezi Evan:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jkleo:
You're tired to restart your phone? So you haven't read started it? Because usually a reboot would fix the random Mediaserver battery drain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Track607:
Yes, I've tried that but it doesn't work.

As an example, I rebooted it before going to sleep. It had a 75% charge. When I wake up - 30% and mediaserver took up 65% of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jkleo:
Then it's either one of your apps is misbehaving and you'll have to find it and remove it, or you'll have to factory reset the phone. You can try installing BetterBatteryStats first and check under partial wakelocks to see what apps are always running that could trigger the mediaserver. It's at least something to try other than wiping the phone I suppose.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skrypj:
Sony's NSG-MR5U or 7U are the remotes that came with Sony's most recent GoogleTV boxes. They are very cool remotes and could be extremely useful for FireTV due to the fact that it has a trackpad and full qwerty keyboard in addition to the back, home, and menu buttons typical of Android. The MR7U variant even has a built in microphone for voice search just like the Fire TV remote. I have sony's googleTV with this remote, and while the googleTV completely sucks, the remote was awesome.

Has anyone tried using these on the FireTV? I cannot seem to get mine to link via bluetooth, most likely because Amazon ignores everything that's not a Fire remote or approved game pad. I was able to connect it to my Nexus 7 so I know it is capable of being linked.

I did a bit of reading and I guess if you install a 3rd parth BT app you can get some things to pair. I sideloaded BToolkit per a recommendation in another thread and will try it when i get home from work. I also want to get my PS3 controller to pair and sideloaded SixAxis from the Playstore.

So BToolkit did see the remote and would pair with it but that was about all it could do. There was no response once paired.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattgyver83:
So this is something I have been trying to crack as well, im curious how you got the remote to pair with btoolkit? My fireTV sees it (hit or miss) but never pairs.

I have an nsz-gs7 and have been attempting to extract certain APKs from the system as I have root access on it to try and get them hopefully sideloaded onto the fireTV. Specifically the IpRemote.apk and BTVSettings.apk which I believe are the ones responsible for both pairing and maintaining the connection from the remote buts its been a super fail and I don't have a lot of time or patience to waste on it as we should be getting a companion app which would work fine for me in the future. The issue I currently run into sideloading these is that I get an "Install_Failed_Missing_Shared_Libraries" with ADB. While googling that error I came across some info pointing me to http://goo.gl/PhvFXb which is a utility to fix app dependencies for maps api which appears to be commonly related despite I doubt that was it. Ran the util against the apks and as I expected there was nothing to patch.

If there are any devs or folks with a larger understanding of this issue feel free to contact me, as I have root access to the nsz-gs7 there may be many other goodies that can be ported over to the gtv but so far all apps I try to sideload throw this error.

Using the standard settings.apk (and nothing else, it just worked), I was able to pair the remote of my GS7 with my FireTV Stick, but the functionality was incomplete: all of the regular keyboard keys worked (but I didn't try all of the function keys) and the d-pad arrows worked, but the center button on the d-pad did not work and the touchpad did not work. I also tried by extracting the settings.apk from the GTV box but it would not install on my Stick.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gvc803:
how did you get this paired? do you go into the settings app and do a bluetooth device search and then what keys do you press on the remote to activate the connection? Function & Enter? just keep them pressed until the unit sees the remote?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Terry T:
Not the FireTV Settings app but the standard Android settings.apk, which I found in another post (I can't post links yet), then tell it to look for devices, then you hold down the Function and center/OK keys together for a few seconds.

I did this with a FireTV Stick, I seem to remember reading pairing remotes with a FireTV box was more problematic.
