[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyanide911:
I just came home from college and tried to use my dad's S3, and found it to be surprisingly slow for a phone with those specs. Also he told me the on screen time is around 2 hours for him.

I myself have been using Android phones (including an S3 in the past) for a long time, and I've never experienced such a slowdown.

1. What could be the cause of this? Unavoidable periodic bloat/slowdown? Maybe some sort of malware/bloat (I won't rule my dad out from falling for sketchy looking apps)

2. Any tips or suggestions on how to fix this? Or is a factory reset the only way?

3. Is there any pure Android ROM (without TouchWiz) which is as stable as the stock ROM? Keep in mind it would be my dad using it and I can't really expect him to reflash by himself in case he encounters a major problem.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
1 apps most likely that have been download.

2 either delete apps and data left over or yes factory reset.

3 for you're dads sake stick with stock for him or teach him the basics of flashing. :thumbup:

It seems like my phone sometimes isn't able to obtain an IP address over wifi. I can see in my router that is has been authenticated. The only way to solve this is a reboot.

I know it's not my router that's causing the problem, because I also had this problem at my parents house.

It started happening after I updated to .402.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi guys got the Excelvan ET704 tablet (phablet) it's a 3g phone tablet dual sim unlocked.

I had made a backup with MTK droid tools,and upon restore i got nothing just a black screen now,so i tried a hundred times to get something from the backups to run i flashed it 1st time with the recent backup made,and it then failed to register the usb saying unrecognized,eventually i did manage to flash only one of the earlier backups by holding volume down and pressing the reset hole at the back whilst holding volume down button.

Then i inserted the cable the flash succeeded and it said done,but on the bottom it says 29gb+4096mb unknown emmc? I know it's a 4gb rom what is going on and does anyone know where to get a rom please the model number is known to be a K7206 it's build is K7206_QSVGA_V10 an it's 1200x600 resolution a 7" tablet phone dual sim and 3g,.

Looking in mobile uncle tools said bird72_a_wet_jb3 ,other than this i am completely stuck,i have emailed excelvan but obviously it being tonight there's not going to be a reply any time soon if at all.I really could do with the firmware for the device,i tried to fromat before but it fails every time there is also no preloader file in the backup?

Here is a screenprint of a flash with the firmware i backed up and it ends with a green box after a yellow bar at the end.It's a screenshot of a flash in progress showing what i get happening as i flash it.

I don't answer you questions but maybe I will able to help you if you or someone help me unlock my Excelvan then I can dump ROM for you.

My Excelvan ET704 is blocked by some kind of police virus.

I have no access to any settings, apps and etc..

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenrod1:
Forgive me for the newbie question. I'd like to sideload a couple of paid Google apps that aren't available for Fire TV. I searched through the forum, but couldn't find an answer. Is it possible to do this?

When I try, I get INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shanecrow99:
Yes it can be done but you will have to get your hands on the APK for it to work. This is because Google Play Store does not exist for the FTV. So to get around this:

1. Get on a PC and log into your Google Play Store.

2. Find the app you want to load onto the FTV.

3. Copy the URL of the webpage of the app you want the APK for.

4. Now go to: http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/ and plug that URL in.

5. Download the APK to your PC.

Now it is just a matter of pushing the APK to the FTV to install the app. That's about it. Remember, just because you can get your hands on an Android app and install it on the FTV does not mean it will work 100%. All you can really do is install it and see if it works or not.

[HTC Startrek] ninjafury:
The buttons on the front of the phone (under the external screen), control Windows Media Player by default.

I'm sure many users don't like the fact that pressing the play/pause button (which happens accidentally) turns on windows Media player and its music.

My question is, is there anyway I can stop the buttons from activating windows media player when pushed, or better yet, is there a way to define what the buttons do (so I can use them to control another program) ?

Thanks for anyhelp.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vwnut13:
From my research it seems as if this phone can't be rooted because you cannot unlock the bootloader.

Has anyone tried "Poot to Root" on the Verizon Prepaid Moto G? I don't need an Unlocked Bootloader, just Root access.

I rooted my Kyocera Event (with a locked bootloader) in less than a minute using Poot. From what I have read, Poot to Root is made for Qualcomm phones, and the Moto G is Qualcomm.

So, has anyone tried this yet? Does it work?

[Firefox OS Q&A] DaGhostman:
Hey, guys, I am facing very big issues with trying to port FFOS to Alcatel OneTouch Tab7 (Not HD). I dont have a lot of knowledge in mobile development, but have foundations and can get on easily, after I get any clues for what I am doing (:D).

I have the above mentioned device in house, successfully rooted it, as the tab was slow as hell. Made some tweaks and stuff, but it is still unusable most of the time. So I thought I could try porting it, but I am a bit stuck on how to start. I cant find almost anything about the device, except maybe that it has hardware very similar to the VIA Vixen, but that is it. I am mostly concerned about the part with compiling the kernel and everything. (Afraid to brick the device). I would love to get my hands dirty, so if anyone is interested in giving this a try or at least to provide some assistance, PM me or respond in thread.

This is the device I believe it covers the minimal for FFOS. So porting should be doable.

Thanks!

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mcwups1:
I know there is a creator for HTC M8 on the other site, but I can't figure how to get it to work with the Sprint M8.

I flashed the H/K firmware when it came out, so the HBoot is different, as well as the CID.

Any Dev with experience farther than my amateur mind that could help all of us Sprint users out, would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] schmeggy929:
I would download one of mine from the kank kong red theme thread. you have to change the name of the image to Splash.565

And also change the updater script to match our boot Splash Partition which is mmcblk0p12.

Or you can just create your image change it to splash.565 and replace the one in the cache folder from one of my flashable zips.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mcwups1:
I tried this.....and it didn't work. :crying:
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] schmeggy929:
Send me the png or jpg and i will make for you.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mcwups1:
I really am trying to learn for myself.

I flashed the H/K firmware. Not sure it matters, but there is no "OS" in the bootloader.

I did a getvar all (by searching), and came up with this....

Then, I tried to edit an adroid-info.txt file to look like it, but it's missing something I don't have. There was a mainver number, but I deleted it trying to get this to work. But, when I look at the bootloader info, "version main" is missing too. When trying to use this splash screen flasher it fails. Failed without my editing so I tried other things but reverted everything back but the mainver. I even tried supercid.

modelid: 0PB70000

cidnum: SPCS_001

mainver:

btype:1

aareport:1

hbootpreupdate:11

I'm not sure what else I can do to get this to work on our device.

I'd give you images, but what if I want to use a private image...of me and my family?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] schmeggy929:
I get the same result when fastboot getval all. But the mainver should be ROM version which is 1.54.654.13 (if lastest). However since you can a flashable Zip you should not need an android.txt file. Our M8 splash screen is now partition 12 (/dev/block/mmcblk0p12).

I can still make a zip of the jpg and send the flashable zip to you only.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mcwups1:
Check PM please.

Also, I DL'd one of your splashes and checked the updater script. You have everything in there correct already.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] schmeggy929:
I know it is correct, like I said you can use the Splash creator to create your splash.img. But to get it to work on the M8, you need to change the .img extension to splash.565
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mcwups1:
Just sent PM saying the exact same thing...LOL!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] schmeggy929:
OHHH I gotcha now. Yeah way back when I tried the same thing, changing a few things in the android-info.txt file. I couldn't get it to work on our Sprint version either. I just went the other route that works. It seems like it is due to our version doesn't not recognize the mainver in that file. I have yet to hboot flash any file on this phone so far. Everything through fastboot or recovery.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mcwups1:
I got it! I got it to flash via that splash flasher!

Thanks to you!

You change the android-info.txt to match all those attributes, and it works.

I forgot a "6" in the ID section.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] schmeggy929:
awesomesauce!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mcwups1:
modelid: 0P6B70000

cidnum: SPCS_001

mainver: (your ROM version here)

btype:1

aareport:1

hbootpreupdate:11

Don't know if ROM version matters or not, but change this in that android-info.txt file and make sure your image is 1080x1920 and a .png file.

Run the bat program, and it works!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] schmeggy929:
Great work! I figured it had to do with the mainver not matching!
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mcwups1:
Did you try it?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] schmeggy929:
No the android-info.txt is not needed when flashing through recovery, so I never went back to trying it.
[HTC One S] lcmpX86:
Hello,

I don't know if this is the correct place to write this, but if not please advise me as I'm new in this fields.

Some time ago I decided to root my Jelly bean HTC One S (S4). To do that I used the HTCDEV method and follow this post step-by-step witch I thank to all developers involved: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1583427

It worked well and the only thing I done different was installing TWRP 2.6.3 recovery instead CWM.

Lately I decide to install a custom kernel (Bulletproof 1.4), essentially because I wanted to fix refresh rate/crash of HDMI output among other good things that this kernel provide. Here started my problems. I download the zip file, file copy it to phone memory through usb and then restart the phone to bootloader, enter in recovery and flash it with TWRP. After that my phone don't boot and was stuck in bootloop.

As I previous made a backup of my system through TWRP I thought it would be enough to restore it, but then my sdcard was unreachable and I found no way to access it. At this point I had also the copy of the backup I done with recovery in my laptop. With the phone in bootloader screen (witch I'm still able to reach) I can see the phone in devices although not accessible. So the only way I found to fix my phone was format the sdcard though windows copy the backup to sdcard via and then make make a restore via TWRP. It somehow worked and I was able to back to system.

I checked the kernel and it changed to bulletproof 1.4+. Nevertheless the performance of the phone decreased at the point that he almost freezes sometimes (no restarts) and also can't acess phone storage via usb in windows. When I plug it to computer it beeps as a normal device inserted and htc one s device appears but I can't see any of the contents inside it.

After some days, I decided to install Busybox app and somehow that app makes some miracle and the phone got something better in terms of performance, but never as it was before the installation of the kernell. Even know the phone has some freezes, but Can someone help me recovering the normal phone performance?

[HTC One S] lcmpX86:
First of all thanks for your quick reply and sorry the later answer...

I have some backups of all the system done with TWRP made immediately after rooting the phone and before flash the custom kernel. One of those backups I used to help me bring phone again to life however in the end with performance and usb problems I mention before. Can I use this? If yes should I take some specific step? (I watched the files of the TWRP backup and they are all .win and .md5, is this normal? can I use it as you mention?)

If I use some of the rom you point me (or eventually my backup) in the end flash boot.img I will be replacing the custom kernel I installed right? If so and if everything goes right I will still be rooted but with stock kernel right? I watched the roms available from the link you gave me how do I choose from them, I suppose will be some of the Europe, probably Ville_Europe_3.16.401.8_OTA_UPDATE_Stock_Rooted_ODEX, however how do I know if those match with my radio/Hboot version version which are 1.11.50.05.28 /HBoot 2.15.

I know I probably did some stupid questions, but as you may noticed I'm a lot "green" here.
[HTC One S] null0seven:
First use backup.

OTA is an update. Find the one before that. Must be the one compatible with the region that you live.

Thanks a lot man for the help, it worked...

Had some issues with the OTA installation as in the first try phone stuck on HTC boot screen, but on second try it worked, thanks a lot!!

Have on more question, if possible, now I'm again on stock kernel which as mhl hdmi problems (phone outputs 1080p 24hz which makes it slow and some times freezes)... so would you recommend me some custom kernel? just want to fix that. The buletproof 1.4 was ok in that point but last time I flashed it phone enters in bootloop and the rest you already know.

Can you tell the correct steeps to install a custom kernel, should I flash it through recovery, clear all cache in recovery and then flash the boot.img file of the kernel via fastboot? or should I use some market app like "kernel manager" or "flash image gui"

Hi,

About my last post (the heartbleed issue), I don't know If it was the best solution but still on 4.1.1 and used the patch from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51830870, tested it with the heartbleed detector and look like it's ok now.

After that I flashed again the bulletproof 1.4 now with Flash Image Gui, not via recovery (my previous try I used twrp, but as I'm s-on probably boot.img wasn't flashed well or flashed at all, and probably from there started my problems). After this try phone runs good and fluid most of the time. However I noticed that when use a browser (chrome/dolphin or even the stock browser) or turn on gps and mobile data after been some time without connection he becomes very slow (not all times but somehow frequent).

After that I flash the last bulletproof 2.1 (again with Flash Image Gui), thinking it might be due to the fact that version 1.4 still have some problems.

After installation and in the beginning the system was fluid, but then again even with this version sometimes lags a lot when browsing. Do you know what may cause that?

About hdmi with this kernel, if the phone isn't passing for a period o lag I mention before it runs very fluid in 720p 60hz.
