Can the post please stay here for a little while? :fingers-crossed: As you said, this stuff is for experienced Android tinkerers and I believe there will be many more experienced folks here than in the ZTE blade forum.

With the update, I think I am closing in on the problem. I just need to understand how I can fix "Kernel Block Map to PMT mismatch". I have also requested folks with ZTE blade C to retrieve the original partition tables via MTKDroidTools.

Thanks for your time.

Hi all,

In order to get email push technology on my XDA, I need to install the Equifax Secure Global eBusiness CA-1 certificate (at least according to the guy who helps me with my IT needs).

The problem is that the XDA tells me "Security permission was insufficient to update your device".

Does anyone know a work-around?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retroben:
This is for all of those things that make Fire TV irritating at times like the frustrating search keyboard that always pops up when using a browser.

There has got to be an app or service you can disable to make the onscreen search keyboard stop appearing so we can seamlessly use any web browser uninterrupted.

Maybe we can also get a different onscreen keyboard that can be toggled if needed for whatever reason.

Whenever a fix for removing the onscreen search is found,or if it was already found,please post it in this thread with instructions on how to do it.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanemj:
There's an app called Null Keyboard but without the ability to select a different keyboard It's not usable. :/
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retroben:
Seems a bit pointless to mention it at all,in that case. lol

Just want to sedate the onscreen search box.

The biggest drawbacks are that you can't go back to a certain word to edit it,and you can't hit enter to make a new line for more sentences.

It also automatically reloads the page in flash browser,and it always randomly appears in FireFox simply because a search bar exists on the webpage you navigated to and it also manipulates the page when backing out,thus opening again immediately when the page loads again,possibly trapping you in an infinite loop unless you press the home button to leave it entirely.

In some cases,it can be inescapable even after typing something.

Another thing to fix by changing it is microphone acccess for apps that utilize it.

I don't know if this can be fixed wthout getting something custom.

Where are the strings coming from with the question marks in them? I doni't see them in the JSON file.

I tried appending org.xbmc.xbmc to the list with no effect.

I think a JSON call is some flavor of database call, and what the list is really saying is "these apps can make that call."
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] userr12:
How about XBMC package "org.xbmc.xbmc" ? bust ;)

I just thought it was striking that the google play store url was so similar to the the listed amazon packages, thought that might give a opening to change "amazon" into "play.google" somewhere to get acces to google instead of amazon apps directly.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbox:
It has nothing to do with urls. Those are the package names and the developers just decided to name their packages in a way that you can tell if it was from Google or Amazon. Also, the "Your Apps Library" will only show apps in your Amazon Cloud. You'll notice if for some reason the Fire TV can't connect to the Internet, every menu is empty. It's all loaded with content directly from Amazon. I have an idea for an xposed module to add an extra row to show sideloaded apps in the Apps menu, but it'll be a little tricky.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iyokuu:
Currently I own an iPhone 5s. Love the thing all around, but android has a spot in my heart as being the first smartphone to own. I wanted the Necus 5, but after reading up on the Xperia Z1/2, I want one of these a lot more. Now I'm with t-mobile on the jump program, but my iPhone is about 60% paid off. I have a few questions here.

•Tmobile has the Xperia Z and Zs. I've read this was mistaken to be the Z2, but then I read the specs were slightly off. The Z2 being a little bit better, but not hundreds of dollars more. If I could I want the Z2, but it looks like the only way to get it is to buy the unlocked international version for the full $600, right?

•With that in mind for anyone who has made the switch from i5 to this phone or one of the too android phones have you regretted it all. I don't want to get the feeling of wishing I had my i5 back or paid it off first. Lol

•Speaking on the Z1s if any of you have one or have fooled with one, how much different is it than the Z2? If it's not noticeable then I wouldn't mind barring the jump plan and getting ahold of the Xperia Z that way. Oh and yes, I will be rooting, customizing and all things of the sort. It's why I love android so I have to do that. Wait, are there plenty of mods and stuff for both the Xperia or is it limited? I know my nexus 4 had a lot.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodpenguin:
If you will buy a Sony phone, Z2 is the best and only choice as of now. The only Sony phone better than Z2 is Xperia C with its huge battery life but that's about it. T2 Ultra battery life is also good but it's too big for me. In spite of what people say, there is a big enough difference with Z1 and Z2 but if you already bought the Z1, then no need to upgrade unless you have extra cash. Z2 to Z3 might even have a smaller difference unless Sony puts their A game and surprises us with Z3.

If you're coming from Z, it's really worth upgrading to Z2 because it fixed all the flaws of Z even though the design of Z is a little better than Z2 for me.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iyokuu:
I was referring to the Z1s though, not just the Z1. It seems to be what Tmobile got instead of the Z2, which is in other countries.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremy.shi:
I have an iPhone 5, which is not really that different to the 5s. I jumped ship a while ago.

This is not the first time I tried to switch to android. I hated android before on Motorola milestone and galaxy s3, but I have to say I'm really loving this phone. Sure, at the beginning I kinda missed my iphone as I wasn't really used to it. After I got everything going, this phone has been great. I especially love the noise cancelling. (without it I wouldn't have purchased it at the first place) it works just as well as those dedicated noise cancelling headphones, in my opinion.

The only things I miss on my iPhone right are the smaller screen, imessage and iTunes. Big screen is not really my thing... 4.5-4.7 inch would have been perfect.

Every phone has its pros and cons. Long story short, I don't regret switching to it at all.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodpenguin:
There isn't much difference between Z1 and Z1s so Z2 is still the better phone. Z1 should have been the Z2 if Sony didn't skimped on the specs. Sony could have stopped Samsung's momentum last year. But still a job well done for Z2. If you have a friend that has a Z2, try feeling it because it's really hard to judge the phone without seeing it personally.

[General Questions and Answers] TheArc:
HTC's are great devices. Charp, elegant and very durable. And as for Xperia devices, they're very premium look sharp and offer great durability.

For development, I've noticed the Xperia has been getting lots of support. I also have a feeling it'll keep getting ota updates when Sony prepares them, since it is a recently released device.

The HTC M8 is great, the development community is good too. Just take a look at their sub forms to make out the development.

But if you wish to remain stock or have a stock like experience with good features. I would go for HTC since Sense 6 looks amazing. TimeScape UI is Sony's way if making things look right. But it isn't as great as Sense. But if you wish to run original developed ROMs then you must go for the Xperia Z2.

They're both great devices, but its your choice.

So I had planned to stick with my old d2vzw (Verizon S3) through next year, but I think it just physically died on me. So I may need to upgrade way, way sooner.

Just got my Dev edition. Upgraded to 4.4.2 and after a while to 4.4.3

All seemed fine until i noticed that Google play books used 40% of the battery... Weird since i opened it, scrolled the list and closed... It wasn't even in the recent app list...

I killed it and added to the disable list (i use fbreader anyway)... Now today (second day with phone) the same happened with YouTube...

It used 30% of the battery. I watched a10s clip... App info said 10s foreground... 30 min background... And again, it wasn't even on the recent app list to be closed. Just went to apps and force closed.

Now I'm worried that this is a thing with everything Google (which honestly i can disable all but gmail and maps) or the OS...

Anyone getting the same? I'm not sure what to search for to find similar threads...

[Moto X Q&A] scorpion667:
Ugh that's really weird. If you're rooted it will be a lot easier to fix but for now reboot the phone and use it like that for another day. Sometimes the OS and apps need time to settle. For example I did a fresh flash two days ago and my Google services had a 1 hour and 13 minute wakelock yesterday where as today it's behaving very well. But YouTube doing that is weird. Never auto update your apps as 85% of updates are crap across the board. Try going to apps under settings and click uninstall updates for YouTube. This should revert YouTube to the version that came with 4.4.3, unless that's already the latest. But yeah for now try and "tickle" YouTube by logging out, wiping cache and data for it under settings/apps and log back in, see if it starts behaving. I'll monitor this thread to try and help.
[Moto X Q&A] gcbxda:
Thanks. I did all that yesterday and rebooted. So far everything seems fine. So i think you're spot on. Tho it is a bad sign to have those bugs :(

The phone did lock up twice on me after that.

Once playing webm on chrome. But i just disabled it a while later. Firefox beta ftw! ( ff is the Only reason i have up my nexus one)

Another time when i inserted the Sim with the phone on and right away unlocked the slider... It froze mid slider animation. Think i hit some race condition there. Hopefully i won't be inserting sim cards all the time...

Overall i think i will be able to live with that phone. Now only if i could use nfc unlock with my assine employer email policy...
[Moto X Q&A] gcbxda:
It may have happened again. It's reporting a widget (simple calendar) as using 15min of cpu with 4min of foreground time. I had opened its setting screen 15 min ago. After i liked it from the recent task list it stopped counting new cpu time. But it's still showing as the top battery user for now.

Since that setting screen has ads, i will just write this off as a sleazy ad library for now.
