[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattCorbellino:
Hi all,

i'm a total noob in the htc world, i tried digging around in the forum but didn't find the answer to my doubts.

I've an italian (totally unlocked) rooted M7 with STOCK (no carrier personalisation) ROM, running:

- Android 4.4.2

- Sense 5.5

- Software Number 4.19.401.11

- Kernel 3.4.10-g7fe1bad root@abm012 #1

- Baseband 4A.25.3263.21_10.38x.1157.04L

- Build Number 4.19.401.11 CL304164 release-keys

- Custom TWRP Recovery & Unlocked Bootloader

I just received the sticky notification telling me to OTA update to Sense 6 ( Update # 5.11.401.10). My question is: what happens if i OTA update my One? Will it soft/hard brick? How do i manage to safely install the update? If there isn't a way to install it is there a way to flash some features of it singulatim?

Thank you all in advance.

PS: if the answer is NO to all my questions, how the hell do i remove that annoying notification from my not panel?:D

You need a stock recovery and locked bootloader to run the OTA. You can get it from this thread [Collection][GUIDE] HTC One Stock Recoveries. Find your stock recovery from the list, download it and follow the instructions in the OP.

not needed locked boot loader

Stock recovery

Unmodified stock Rom

Unlocking process delete some stock apps installed at data/preload apps that interfering with OTA SO you need restore them

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
are you sure the /preload apps are the one specifically from your version (4.19.401.11) ?

also set permission correctly to all these files (-rw-r--r--)

well, all file patched by the ota are MD5 checked by the updater script, if any file have unexpected content (file was modified or missing), the update installation will abort and you'll see that red triangle with the exclamation mark.

like yatindroid said, unlcoked bootloader doesnt matter.

you need stock recovery from the 4.19.401.11 version

all files to be patched must be 100% stock (from 4.19.401.11)

As tittle says, i decided create a topic where we can share ours custom cameras settings for various sittuations.

The manual settings, with or without effects, etc..

I dont find any videos(youtube) and posts(xda) about it, and i think is a good topic to be made.

Thanks guys!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jordan8201:
I did a factory reset from recovery on my EVO because it wouldn't boot. Now, I seemed to have lost root access. I can still boot into custom recovery and am S-Off.

I downloaded SuperSU from the play store, and get the message (There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem) when I try to open it.

What do I need to do to regain root access?

Thanks for the help.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fizbanrapper:
Play store won't help you. You need to flash supersu zip from recovery.

Google "update supersu 1.94 zip".
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jordan8201:
Thanks, then do I need to download it from the Play Store? I flashed it successfully, booted up and the one that was in my app list (from the Play Store) is now gone. Rooter Checker still shows I don't have root access.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Yes you need to reinstall the app.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fizbanrapper:
Flashing that zip should have worked. I question if you were using the right zip file. Do you see it in your apps on your phone?

Here's the URL I use:

http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU

Sometimes if you run root checker too soon after booting into the ROM, it will time out while waiting for permission from SuperSU and falsely conclude that you do not have root. If you're busy doing other stuff afterwards, you very well may have missed the popup where root checker asked for root permissions. If that's the case, when you go into SuperSU you should see root checker listed with red text, which would indicate that root checker was denied root permissions. If this is what you see, select that entry from SuperSU and change the setting from deny to grant. Rerun root checker.

If that doesn't work, please provide more information about your system?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonsewall:
I decided to setup Bittorrent Sync to sync music to my phone's external SD card, but quickly discovered that Android 4.4+ won't let the BT Sync App write to /extSDcard/Music.

I figured: the media scanner can look in /extSDcard/Android/com.bt.sync/files/..., right? This will work, right? But it doesn't; if I put anything in /extSDcard/Music, it is picked up by DoubleTwist, etc, right away, but stuff in the part of the filesystem that the BT Sync App can write to is not found.

I looked for .nomedia files in the path, but didn't find any. The Linux guy in me wants to make a symlink from Music to the BT Sync dir, but that doesn't appear to be possible without rooting.

I use my phone for work and it is encrypted and has MobleIron, etc. on it; I think rooting is out of the question. Is there some way I can make this work?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
The media scanner looks everywhere that doesn't have a .nomedia file in the folder or abovelying folder.

To my knowledge, there's a .nomedia file in /extSDcard/Android created by Android by default. It excludes all folders contained in /Android from the media scanner, as it also applies to subfolders.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonsewall:
I just double-checked, and I don't see any .nomedia files (with hidden file view enabled, of course) in the tree leading up to /extSDcard/Android/com.bittorrent.sync/files/music where my shares live, yet the music database shows none of the material there.

Is there way to see a log of what the media scanner is doing?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomo1971:
The music out via USB was removed on the s5...was present on the s4.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Not true. There is a lot of misinformation promulgated on the subject. Music out on USB works fine on my S5 just as it did on the S4, S3, S2 and S1..

But that isn't to say that Samsung, Google or (especially) the automotive audio equipment cartel make much effort towards standardized interoperability. It's frankly a mess, a hodge podge of half ass implementations and proprietary protocols that usually don't play nicely together. It can be made to work with carefully chosen components or creative approaches. But randomly connecting components from two different vendors typically fails.

While Samsung and Google could be characterized as only having made a minimal effort to provide standardized USB support.. that is still leagues ahead of what most automotive audio vendors have done. Not to mention that it's routine to find inaccurate details, if not outright lies of what automotive component X will supposedly interconnect with. I sometimes wonder if their marketing departments even bother to collate real facts on the subject before they write their copy.

It's not too hard to find decent DACs and headphone amps that will accept USB audio out from the S5, but I frankly gave up trying to figure out what would or wouldn't work on the automotive end. I ended up going with a brute force approach and installed a SBC (miniature PC) in my car. Having a full PC as a middleman, means that there is a vast array of powerful software (and hardware) that can slice, dice and format the control stream to whatever is needed by the auto head unit. But it's hardly a simple or off the shelf solution.

The OP can probably find a working solution if he searches hard enough. The S5 has USB audio out, although making it work with some car decks requires a combination of root, custom kernels (proper USB host support) and audio apps. An app like USB Audio Player, in conjunction with a kernel that has proper USB host support will satisfy many auto decks.

Hopefully Android L will give us better USB support. But it also depends on how sane your automotive equipment vendor was when they designed your car deck too.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
The problem is that since 4.1.2,USB Mass Storage was removed.

Most, if not all, radios, media players, etc don't support the MTP protocol. They require a mass storage device, and do not support a media device.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
MTP is a newer and much more capable protocol. The problem in your example is that radio, etc vendors are stuck in the past and not adopting newer standards.

MSC (mass storage) has many serious drawbacks that are overcome by the newer transactional protocol. MTP was standardized six years ago, which is just short of forever in consumer electronics. So one has to wonder why the radio vendors continue to drag their heels and can't get with the program.

It's like blaming Android for having moved to flash memory.. and refusing to go along. Expecting everyone to continue using cassette tapes instead. Yes that would be one way to maintain compatibity. But it doesn't make a lot of objective sense.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lirkun:
Yes, and for activation Mass Storage root is required ...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darmach:
Guys, but what about using USB analog audio input? I remember I did something like that with Galaxy S II - from 5 mini USB pins one was used to sense what phone is connecting to - for ex if it is a car dock, desk dock or... should it enable analog audio output on USB data pins.

Unfortunately I no longer have dock I made back then, anyone knows if that might work with S5?

EDIT: check this out!

EDIT2: Oh it seems I completely missed the point, you want to use it as mass storage to connect to car USB port.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leandronb:
hey guys, Z2 was launched this week in Brazil so i am looking to replace my lg g2 for z2. but i saw many complaints about people not being able to use the camera when is hot outside. even after 5 pictures the camera got warm and shutdown. i will never use 4k video, but i plan to use the max 16:9 manual resolution, ia mode and 1080p 60fps. in my g2 i always recorded long videos and never got a camera shutdown, even tried yesterday recording 4k with a mod and after 5 minutes video was saved and nothing happened. and people with this problem live in places with good temperatures like 20c, here in my city usually is 30c or 35c so i am a bit worried if i will buy a very expensive phone without being able to use the camera. so this was already fixed or is hardware problem?

Freeze overheat control service

I live in a very hot city, and it's almost impossible to use AR effects. 4k video at least works for a couple of minutes, but AR effects closes as soon as I try to use it due to camera overheating. I was wondering if the temperature service was disabled... If this issue would be solved. So I froze the overheating control service using titanium backup ( Overheat control - com.sonyericsson.psm.sysmonservice). And it worked! My camera stopped to force closing due to overheating. I think it's a software problem, the temperature level trigger to shut down the camera must be have settled too low,, if the phone was too hot, it should turn it off entirely, not just the camera. Well... My camera is working fine now. But I think this is not a safe solution. I guess if for some reason my Z2 get really hot, with overheating control disabled, it would not be powered off to prevent damage and my phone would be toasted. But I think there will be no trouble to freeze overheating control before using camera and activate it later... That's really annoying, but it's better than lose a moment cause your camera refuses to work due to supposed overheat.

*just to remember... In order to freeze overheat control service you need to be rooted

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [kEkA]:
Well mate, I don't know what to tell you, some people are reporting that its impossible for them to use cam at all, not only 4k but for taking pictures,

for myself I have never experienced over heating problems with normal usage, said that i meant on using camera for taking photos or videos which arent in 4k mode. If you're gonna use it as camera, I strongly suggest not to play games on it just before you start heavy using camera for example.

Where I live, the temperature was over 39 degrees of C, I recorded 4k outdoors for more then 8 mins, took lots of (+20) pictures in nature and all and never had problem, just don't leave it direct on sun, it gets very hot and it becomes probably useless,

you only have to take 'care' with those kind of things, other then that you're ok.

In my case, my z2 would certainly manage that kind of usage without a problem.

So here is some info i gathered from 5 Xperia Z2s

Device 2 and 3 match my 1st Z2 and my replacement Z2, however i managed to get 21 mins of 4k recording with my 2014w22 replacement device

Good thing ive got a bunch of freinds with Xperia Z2s and xperias in general :D

Device 1:

purchase date: 15th of August

41mins -4k rec

Device 3:

Purchase Date: 31st of June

5mins:33sec -4k rec

temp after rec: 58c

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Die Bruine:
Just tried 4k recording. Stopped it manually at 10:00. Can't imagine me using it in the near future. Flickering screen indoors with tl-tubes, and I won't be buying an 4k screen anytime soon ;) .

Mind you though, it's around 18 degrees C here. I can imagine the phone quiting on me a lot sooner when it's 30C. Also tried AR, no heating problems so far.

But, when it was 30+ degrees, the camera did shut down after 5 minutes of testing the white balance. But that was before I installed .314. So I would have to re-test that. Unfortunately there's a fat chance we will reach those temps before next year.

I could not even start AR effect before and I was not playing games or any hard usage before trying. 4k video is not an issue for me cause I won't use it. But before freezing overheat control, sometimes my camera refuses to take even simple photos....

Now 4k recording...

Before

Battery: 43°

CPU: 54°

After 4 minutes

*using internal storage

Battery: 53°

CPU: 84°

I accidentally stopped recording. But it seems it was still getting hotter.
