[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHeffernan:
OK thanks.

But what do I need to do in order to actually use the USB drive? I thought that the USB slot on the AFTV doesn't just accept a flash drive..?

Also, I get a cache full message every now and then - does that mean I should do the in the advanced settings file also?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] collindv:
Once you root you can use a program called stickmount to mount your USB drive as usable storage.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHeffernan:
Alright, I am already rooted.

Is the network tags I posted just above a resolution to getting a message "cache full" when trying to play back some videos sometimes?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] collindv:
I have no experience with that. Sorry :(
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ipse_Tase:
Yes, you are telling XBMC to buffer everything (local and Internet streams) and set the mem buffer to 100M. I use half of that and have never seen a "cache full" error.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHeffernan:
Does it matter how I put the tags and where? Is this still correct?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ipse_Tase:
Take a look at

http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=advancedsettings.xml

and check the exact syntax - these 2 parameters are explained in detail.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotor00ter:
Can anyone confirm that if you use an external USB drive and link2SD that it will accomplish the same thing? Do all the thumbnails get stored onto the USB drive the same as the rest of the app when you link it up? I have a very extensive library and I don't want this tiny 8 GB drive to fill right up. Thanks.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scorched03:
Having issues subbing my thumbnails folder to my usb drive. For some reason, the below code stops caching of xbmc thumbnails on aftv, but does not cache anything onto the usb stick I have plugged into the back. I have created a thumbnails folder in root of usb called 'tb' and can't figure this out. Stickmount is set be on boot, so it reads the usb, but am I missing something?

<advancedsettings> <pathsubstitution> <substitute> <from>/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata/Thumbnails/</from> <to>/storage/emulated/0/usbStorage/sda1/tb/</to> </substitute> </pathsubstitution> </advancedsettings>

Complete newb and would appreciate any help!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KarlP:
Did you try special://masterprofile/Thumbnails instead?

Also, possible XBMC is starting before your mount is ready? I think it bails if it's not there shortly after it starts.

Finally, try deleting your Textures database to force rebuilding them.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scorched03:
thanks for the help, yes tried the special://masterprofile advanced settings and it didn't work. thumbnails go blank and no other thumbnails load so its the same issue as above.

i guess what i should have stated is that i boot directly into xbmc, then the stickmount note appears at the bottom saying its loaded. given the order, its likely XBMC is starting before mount is ready... is there a fix for that, or should I go back to using kindle loader, run stick mount, then go into xbmc?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHeffernan:
I haven't had a chance to implement this yet. But I will probably encounter your exact issue as my XBMC auto loads also on the fireTV..

have you figured anything out yet?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bam099:
Any issues with speeds? I did something similar using folder mount to move my data to my USB Drive and the slow speeds were horrible and I had to go back.

all they(sony) really did was upgrade some parts right?

looking at a STmicro doc http://www.st.com/st-web-ui/static/...ical/document/application_note/DM00024853.pdf

they have some 'indentical' features

is there a chance all of the devices are hooked up to the same place?

if not, i'm guessing there's a good chance you could fry something right =/ ?

guessing the GPIO for the buzzer/motor would be the safest/easiest to check if it's the same (since i don't have to interact with anything else)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PIzzimperfect:
Hey all,

Really not a fan of Touchwiz. I previously had a fully rooted S3 with Cyanogenmod, and loved how it was based around vanilla android.

Is there any way of getting 'standard' android on my S5 without rooting and voiding my warranty. I'd root, but, screw you Knox :(

Thanks!

[General Topics] Joey Link:
I'm on my way to purchase a couple minisd cards in a minute and I'm wondering if there's any reason I should spend twice the money on an Ultra II Sandisk MiniSD card rather than a regular speed one. I have an MDA and plan on using it to watch movies and listen to music. What do you guys think?
[General Topics] Black-wolf:
My take on it is this:

No, there is no logical reason to spend twice the money on a memory device that MIGHT only improve your video experience by 10 - 20%. Personaly, I look at it this way:

You have cell phone. It can play video. It plays the video, but not very well. The only reason it plays the video is because they knew it would convince you to buy the phone. The primary function of the phone is to be a phone. The secondary function of a phone is to be a PDA (if that). It is not a multi-media device. While true portable phones that are more like mini-computers will eventually hit the market (oh, like 5 or 6 years from now), I would say that you are wasting your $$$ on this purchase. Any sort of miniSD card will work and you won't notice a difference no matter how much you tweak your phone or hack it.

Save the money, or buy a bigger miniSD or buy 2 miniSD of the same size (don't purchase 4 Gig miniSD cards just yet - they are all fakes).

[General Topics] netboy:
get the Ultra II, atleast u feel better that is faster. just because u cant feel it, it doesnt mean it' not faster. just like video cards, most people cant tell the different in pictures quality between a 100$ buk and a 300$ buk video card.

my tytn came with a 1GB microSD regular, i bought a Ultra II and sold the regular card on ebay.
[General Topics] Rudegar:
the ultra and even a non ultra will be faster then the sd interface on your pda

but the ultra will be faster in your flash reader if it's usb2

[Android General] Simmessa:
Hey there, I just bought this EXCELLENT phone and since I believe it's incredible value I'm posting a little video review:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDOt75bb2M4

Keep in mind it has similar specs to the Htc One M8 but for about 1/4 the price!!!!

I'm doing this because I really hope the devs out here realize how much potential this smartphone has and start developing the hell out of it...

You can see the full specs here: http://www.gsmarena.com/zte_grand_s_ii-5948.php

[One (M7) General] HandyBesitzer:
Hi,

i have an htc desire at the moment. I want to get a new one, and thought about the HTC One serie.

Yesterday i had a look at the HTC One M8, but it's too big i think. So i thought on getting the M8 mini. But it's not much cheaper than the normal m8 and has an lower camera, lower prozessor,....

So i thought what about the old One (M7).

Would you take the M7 or M8 mini??

what about the video/picture quality of the M7 are you contented with it??
[One (M7) General] Helmut_TuT_GuT:
without reading all of the text, buy the flagship m7 and not mini series...always better to get a flagship or go direct to m8
[One (M7) General] dd98:
I would go for M7 as it is only .2 inches bigger @ 4.7 Inches vs the 4.5 Inch screen on the Mini 2 and 1080p screen with 469ppi on the M7 vs 720p screen with 326 ppi. The camera though will be very similar with both phones. The processor on the M7 is far better with 4 x Krait-300 Cores vs 4 x Cortex-A7 cores on the Mini 2. The price on Amazon for a new M7 is €465 whereas the Mini 2 costs €440, both are sold by Amazon themselves. So go for the M7 because of the better value for your money.
[One (M7) General] KiraYahiroz:
I would suggest the original M7 as well.

But if that's still too big, I would pick the Moto G over both mini phones.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cropcop23:
We could really use some advice; my wife and I just switched from old BB 9700 to the galaxy s5, and my wife noticed she could no longer make calls on the bottom floor of her building without them being dropped repeatedly; with the BB she had no problem making these calls. I have been trying to research the problem, and checking my phone, it tells me my signal strength is hovering around -120 dbm (and 16 asu, whatever that means) at home. I never had a reception problem with my BB at home either. To make this a little more confusing, we switched carriers from Rogers to Eastlink when we did this switch.

We're now about a week into our contracts, and have a week left for the grace period; the question is, is this the phone, or the network? Should we be ditching the gs5 for something with better reception? We love the phone, but reception is really important for us. Is there a better phone to try?

Wanted to add, in Status, I'm getting:

Signal strength 120 DBMS 20 asu

Mobile network type : unknown

Service state: out of service

Roaming: not roaming

Mobile network state: disconnected

Does this explain whether the phone or network are at fault?

Thanks for any help!!

Thanks in advance for any help!!!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diehardbattery:
120dbm doesn't sound good. In my experience, you need at least 100 or lower.. as far as reception, I think that would largely depend on your carrier. In theory, the S5 should have better hardware for reception so I don't believe that's a problem.... Maybe try an HTC One M8?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mauricewal:
I noticed worse signal on my new S5 also.

Every day I travel same trip and on my S3 I never lost signal.

Now with the S5 there are 3 moments I completely lose signal.

Also in my home at some places I lose signal.

I have the genuine Samsung wireless charging cover (not s-cover).
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zigson:
Same here. My BB and S3 have no problems with reception in our house, nor does my wife's S2.

But my S5 has no signal at all. Either the S5's radio software is rubbish or the antenna is puny.

Hey guys. Every single time I insert a cable into the headphone jack of the S 5, the volume is automatically set to like 70% for "safe listening" and must be manually adjusted back to a higher volume if desired. I have already disabled the message that appears notifying this, however the volume still gets adjusted. I actually mostly use the headphone jack for my car audio, so safe listening is not useful for that case.

I am wondering if there is a setting I'm missing or if it must be (already is?) modded to not lower the volume upon inserting headphones.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I have the same problem. Safe listening never applies to me because I am either in the car or using have impedance headphones that need 90% volume to produce correct levels. I'll let you know if I find a way.

Hi all!

Just curious about this, perhaps some of you guys had the solution...

Like those in the normal phone; nokia, etc. When incoming call, even the tone were set to a song ringtone, the vibration will play intermittently, unlike in Hima, when selecting song ringtone, it will consistently vibrate without stop. So I wonder if there's a way to control the vibration mode? I have not used song ringtone since it continually vibrates until the end of the cut which literally almost to the span of the incoming call.

thanks.
