Hi,

I am an Electronic Engineer and I am new to Android programming and I need to know how it works when a phone access a free wifi hotspot and an app is being downloaded (web page opens and allows you to download an App) to the phone when trying to access the internet ?

Anyone knows this and can share or share good links to info, thanks.

In the end I would like to setup an ANDROID phone and a PC as the wifi hotspot so they can download an app to a phone when connected via the hotspot (which can be another phone or a PC, both actually but not at the same time).

Regards Peter

[Xposed General] RusherDude:
I don't remember having this problem before, it only happens sometimes and with different results, it's very random.

Scenario A) When I open Xposed, it starts checking for updates and notifies me of every new update, if I go to the "Dowloads" activityand press the reload button, nothing new adds. <-- normal scenario, it always was like this before 2.6.1.

Scenario B) When I open Xposed, it starts checking for updates but doesn't find any new update (and doesn't give out any error, at least on a toast), when I enter the "Downloads" activity, and press the reload button, new updates appear..

Scenario C) When I open Xposed, nothing happens. It doesn't load ANY update or tried to get new ones, even if I had some updates pending to install before, it won't show anything until I enter the "Downloads" activity. There the updates to-do are like normal and pressing reload gets new ones.

Also, I noticed that from 2.6.1 is when I started choosing specific update configuration for some of the modules only (global is STABLE and for some apps EXPERIMENTAL now).

This doesn't only happens to modules, today I had an scenario B when after entering the "Downloads" activity and pressing reload, I got notified of the new Xposed experimental1 update..

I didn't do the "all modules disabled" test because since this is very random and I rarely find updates for my mods, It would mean having xposed disabled maybe for hours/days which sucks :(
[Xposed General] rovo89:
Updates from the repository are only refreshed every 24 hours. The downloaded repo.xml is kept in the cache and still needs to be loaded every time the app is started - unless the app was still in the memory.

So the different situations can be explained like this:

A) The last refresh was more than a day ago, so the installer first downloads the new XML, then loads it.

B) The last refresh was less than a day ago, so the installer just loads the cached XML. When you press the refresh button, the 24 hour limit is ignored, so you see new updates.

C) The app might still have been running in the background, so no refresh was necessary. Or maybe you have cleared the cache, so nothing was downloaded and the XML to load was empty.

It isn't really worth looking into this in more detail as 2.7 experimental1 handles downloads quite differently.
[Xposed General] RusherDude:
That explains a lot. However, doesn't fully explains the C scenario, since on it, the main activity doesn't show all the "pending to install but already notified (in green letters) updates", it doesn't show anything, not even any module or download on any of the activities (forgot to mention this), hitting the reload button fixes everything tho.

The question is.. why does the system works like this? Why it has to be that "manual"? (I spend the entire day pressing the reload button lol). Why it couldn't just check for updates everytime the app was loaded / everytime the main activity was opened / or even without the app opened, in the background. Maybe bandwith? not sure otherwise :(

If the system is changing in the next version (and for now in experimental), yeah we'd be losing time checking there. How does the new system works? does it do anything of the ideas I said just above? I'd love to test it, but im not moving from STABLE releases of xposed, it is way important for me :good:

Thanks a lot for your fast reply!!
[Xposed General] rovo89:
That's really strange, not intended and I never had that situation. Do you have an app that constantly clears the cache? Loading the XML of course happens independently from the 24 hour limit, so the only possible explanation is that the cached file was deleted.

As mentioned, THIS is definitely not working as intended. I suspect something is deleting the file in the background on your system, as I never heard of such issues before.

Sure it's bandwidth. The repository index has grown to about 350 kB and is always growing. The Xposed Installer 2.6.1 has been downloaded more than 1.25M times, 2.4.1 even reached more than 2.5M downloads. That surely includes duplicate downloads, bots, users who decided to abandon Xposed etc. But still, the repository index has been downloaded 4.5M times in May, generating more than 1.1 TB of bandwidth. Now imagine what would happen if the installer checked for updates twice daily, or even in the background (which would also generate bandwidth for the many users who don't open the app daily).

Apart from that, traffic caused for the user, waiting times until the file is downloaded etc.

With the database approach and partial updates, I might be able to lower the update rate a bit, but I don't really see a necessity for that. There are about 10-20 updates per day, which affect usally none, sometimes one or two of your installed modules. And even when there are updates, there is hardly any reason that you have to update right now, instead of half a day later.

Just check the thread, I explained it there. There are no changes in the framework, only in the downloader, so it won't affect your modules.
[Xposed General] RusherDude:
Well, now that I remember the times that happened I was cleaning some so it may be the reason.

Yeah, I understand that :(, well at least on BD you're gonna save some bandwith :)

Done. Thanks a lot :)

And about that "there is hardly any reason that you have to update right now, instead of half a day later", there are flashaholics and there are xposaholics :laugh::laugh:

Thanks mate!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clicquotoh:
I have made the switch from a nice blackberry torch 9800- which I had no issue with at all. It was getting super tired and needed to be put to rest, it is grateful.

The new HTC does everything better than the torch(shocking, I KNOW!). However, there is only one thing that I could do with that BB that I cannot figure out how to do with the HTC and it is a HUGE issue for me. I need a customized alert/notification/ringtone for specific email contacts (SMS would also be nice, but not a major issue). In other words when I get an email (gmail only) from someone specific, I need the notification tone/ringer to tell me I have email from them, specifically. I really only have 3 or 4 that need to be customized.

I have several international contacts who I do not speak to on the phone (i.e. they do not call me) so, I do not have telephone numbers for them. I have Skype addresses and email addresses for them. With the BB, I added them to contacts (w or w/o a phone number) and if I received an email to my gmail account I was alerted with a specific chosen ringtone. Email that was sent from others had a generic notification tone.

Is there an app? a tweak? something I am missing? If the BB can handle this, surely Android can do the same? I have added them to my phone contacts and entered the email address in the information- chosen the specific tone for that contact. I have received emails from them and I still just get the standard default email notification sound.

thanks for your help!

Hi Guys, 1st post and I'm looking for help..

I have an Asus MeMo pad 10 ME302C, its totally soft bricked.

I was upgrading to 4.3 using WW_ME302C_V5_0_17.zip, all good no problems, then used the .de forums WW_ME302C-V5.0.18-0-ota-user.zip to root it also no problems, I then did the clean up and renamed build.prop when replacing it rather deleting it... Big mistake..

Now the device won't boot, it gets stuck at an ASUS screen with spinning circles. Trying to do factory reset also hangs at the spinning circles.

I've read and attempted many recovery methods described on XDA but am kinda screwed because the USB is not being recognised, seems to be no way to get it recognised so fastboot or ADB is out as I cannot talk to the device.

I do have an option to of SD download though but not sure what I would put on the SD and if I could get it to boot from it and recover that way.

So guys, help a brother out.. How do I recover this, can I put firmware on a SD card and recover this way?

Or is there a way to get the USB to be recognised by a pc, I have tried all drivers I can find and the Google SDK but nothing.

Or is there another avenue / idots giude to unbricking that I haven't found yet (ASUS forced reset?)

Really need help on this..

Cheers

Hi all

I have posted this before but got no response. As stated before my Dpad is dead, cant navigate with it at all, and it does not register press. Did some experiments yesterday and it seems that when I reebot I can step one step and then i freezes. Very strange.

Tried with different ROMs and with differens smartskey conf, and without smartskey but no luck. Could someone point me in the right direction if I want to look in the registry? I have no clue, but I can´t have the device with an non-functional dpad. Very anonying, cant choose contacts or anything. Also the red and green buttons are shakey, sometimes the green button doesnt answer a call.

thanks

[Samsung Captivate Glide] steadfasterX:
Hi

I'm always searching for other Kernels for the Glide but not every Kernel works with every phone, of course.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Captivate_Glide and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II#Galaxy_S_II_-_Model_GT-I9100G the glide is based on the Galaxy S2 but I'm not sure which model name exactly (GT-i9100/9100G/i....?)

The question for me is would a Kernel for a "GT...whatever-the-best-matching-one-is" also work with the cappy?

Anyone having experiences or knowledge in that?

Maybe stupid or easy question but I have no idea. Of course I could try any of them but first of all-

which is the best fitting model number or is it totally not relevant maybe ..?

Thanks for any light

do you mean binary kernel? Or source with other config?

Galaxy r ( i9103) is 90% same with our phone, but binary kernel woldnt work. Source would work with some modification.

thx for the quick reply and the information about the model..!!

and yes binary would be the perfect match :o but when I understand you right that's a dream (that was what I thought but one can hope..)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] UnfriendlyTurtle:
Hey all,

So I received a notification for a system update to 4.4.3, and I had survival mode in SuperSU checked, so I went ahead and followed the procedure. Turns off, then reboots into TWRP. From there I reboot again using the TWRP option, and it boots into android just fine. Notification is gone, still with root. But then I go to settings >> about to find that I'm still running on 4.4.2. Manually check for update, says there isn't one available. Give it a day or so and the notification comes up again. Repeat, and same thing. I'm stuck with the notification again.

So, how do I get rid of the notification, or more preferably, how to I update to 4.4.3 keeping the root? Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] charesa39:
You can't update the "normal way" like that with a custom recovery. When you try to do that, it tries to boot into the stock recovery to update, but since you have a custom recovery, it will fail everytime if you do it that way. What you have to do is flash the OTA zip using TWRP. You can find the OTA zip in /cache on your device. Or you can just download the update zip from these forums.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Aerowinder:
Since 4.4.4 is out, just download the full firmware package from Google and flash system, boot. Only those two.

If you don't know how to do that, the Nexus 5 forums has some great stickies that are mostly relevant to this device.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] UnfriendlyTurtle:
Right, thanks for the information. So I repeated and booted into TWRP again. Tapped 'Install', navigated to /cache, saw a couple of folders named 'back up', 'lost+found', and then a file name of a large string of letters followed by the recognisable "razor KTU70 from KOT49H", so I went ahead and flashed the latter, checking 'verify signature'. Runs through a few commands and in a few seconds comes back as failed, so I reboot into the OS.

Any ideas?

I think I have an idea, but I'll check just to be sure. Thanks for the direction.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Anderson2:
Exactly the same for me. Installing the ota sent me to my TWRP recovery. Reboot - > still in 4.4.2.

Reading this thread, I went to TWRP recovery, installed the update from cache and like you, it failed.

Any suggestions? Did your idea work?

Where do I find the 4.4.4 mentioned here and how do I flash it in TWRP? Is install the same as flash in TWRP?

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] wantabe:
If it fails look to see what the specific error is. It would help to know that. If you pulled it from your cache then I assume it was downloaded by itself and should be the correct OTA. I do NOT have the "Zip file signature verification." box checked or "Enable MD5 verification of backup files." but I am extremely careful to flash/install the correct files. The OTA installed fine for me two days ago using TWRP 2.7.1.0. The 4.4.4 mentioned earlier is the factory image. You will need adb and fastboot installed on your computer to flash the factory image or any image that is pulled from inside the factory image. Wug's toolkit will work also, I think, but I've never used any toolkits. Eventually there will be a stock 4.4.4 rom that you can flash/install in TWRP but I'm not aware of one right now.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] brandogg:
You can take the normal updates with root and TWRP (I did), but a custom kernel will prevent them from installing.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Anderson2:
I retried to install the downloaded ota file from cache, but this time I checked zip file verification and got the error message that zip verification failed.

File name was

df43279bcf6bb6a0ae403249c3e6f314d0a7eb77.signed-razor-KTU84L-from-KOT49H.df43279b.zip

So it seems the downloaded ota file may be corrupted. How do I get my Nexus 7 2013 to re-download a new one?

(The ota download for my Nexus 5 installed with no problems - but I think it didn't go through TWRP even though TWRP is installed there too).

Thanks

---------- Post added at 04:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 AM ----------

Further

I renamed the ota file and in settings checked for system update and got a response that my system is upto date. But it is still 4.4.2.

Need to re-download the ota. How?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Anderson2:
Changed the system date to 2 weeks earlier and succeeded in re-downloading the ota file.

So I retried installing it and it again took me to my TWRP recovery screen. I again installed the ota from cache and again the zip verification failed : 1

And the update failed again.

Still on 4.4.2

Did not change any system files as far as I know.

Need help.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Aerowinder:
Why don't you guys download the stock firmware from Google (link in my signature), and use fastboot to flash system.img, boot.img (DO NOT run the batch file)? If it's a lack of knowledge, all you need do is ask, and I or someone else would be happy to teach you how to use it (fastboot). If you're going to be modifying your Nexus device, you need to learn fastboot. You guys have got to learn the proper way to do things.

You've put forth so much effort to fix a system that is not meant for modified (rooted, customized) phones. You can't fix it, stop trying. Just do it the proper way. And do not use a toolkit. They don't teach you anything, they spoon-feed.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Anderson2:
I don't use a toolkit and would be happy to flash the system.Img and boot.img but need instructions on how to do it. You said the stock firmware link is in your signature but it isn't.

I would like to skip 4.4.3 and go directly from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4. I'm talking about a nexus 7 2013 wifi.

So I need the following information to proceed .

1. The Link to download system.img and boot.img for the nexus 7 2013 wifi. Which files exactly?

2. I have fastboot and adb installed on my windows 7 laptop because I used them (once) to root but I don't remember how I used them that one time. How exactly do I use fastboot to flash 4.4.4 ?

3. I presume I will lose root. How do I regain it after the above.

Thank you.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Aerowinder:
1. The Google firmware link in my signature is the one you want. You say you have the 2013 wifi model, aka flo, aka razor. "Factory Images "razor" for Nexus 7 [2013] (Wi-Fi)" is the proper section for you. You want 4.4.4 (KTU84P), and that's at the bottom of the razor section. Click the link to download.

2. Download the most up to date ADB/Fastboot from the link in my signature (19.0.2 (API 19)). Don't extract it yet.

3. You will lose root. Download SuperSU from my signature. 2.00 is the current version. After you download that, you can put it on your device so you can flash it in recovery in a few minutes.

The firmware you downloaded is razor-ktu84p-factory-b1b2c0da.tgz. This is a compressed archive, and you will need to extract it. If you don't know how, 7-Zip should work.

So, you've extracted the files. Delete flash-all.bat, flash-all.sh, flash-base.sh (so you don't accidentally run them).

Now, all you have left is bootloader-flo-flo-04.02.img and image-razor-ktu84p.zip.

Extract image-razor-ktu84p.zip to the current directory, so you will now have bootloader-flo-flo-04.02.img, boot.img, cache.img, recovery.img, system.img, userdata.img, android-info.txt, image-razor-ktu84p.zip in your folder.

Delete userdata.img, flashing this on accident will wipe your data. Delete image-razor-ktu84p.zip, android-info.txt, cache.img, recovery.img (this is stock recovery, you want TWRP).

Now you have boot.img, bootloader-flo-flo-04.02.img, system.img.

Remember the ADB & Fastboot zip you downloaded from my signature? Extract it to the directory with bootloader-flo-flo-04.02.img, boot.img, system.img. All 4 files. This directory now contains 7 files.

Back out of the razor-ktu84p folder. Just one step back. Now, hold shift the right-click the razor-ktu84p folder. Select Open command window here.

Reboot your device to bootloader mode. Do so by shutting it down. Then while the power is off, hold volume down and press the power button. Release these buttons when you see the big green Android.

In your command window, type the command: fastboot devices

Your device with it's serial number should show up on the list. If it does not there is a problem and you need to stop here.

If the device shows up, let's update it.

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-flo-flo-04.02.img

<wait for it to finish>

fastboot reboot-bootloader

<wait for it to reboot>

fastboot flash system system.img

<wait for it to finish>

fastboot flash boot boot.img

<wait for it to finish>

fasboot reboot-bootloader

Done with fastboot.

At this point, enter recovery (TWRP) and wipe cache and Dalvik under advanced wipe.

Remember the SuperSU you downloaded earlier and put on your device for later? Flash that now.

Reboot, all done. Most of this is just juggling files around. If you have any questions ask.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Anderson2:
You are wonderful aerowinder. This is just what I needed to go ahead. Thank you so much.

About your signature, it doesn't show the links when viewed in my Tapatalk version, but I went to the Web view and got it from there. (just FYI if others ask about your links).
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] droider137:
is it possible to just flash the system img in fastboot? It's still the same bootloader, not updated? Could I just flash the whole zip by sideloading in adb and TWRP? Just a lottle confused. Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Aerowinder:
If you were already on 4.4.3, all you need to do is fastboot flash system.img, that is correct.

No, you can't flash that firmware zip in recovery.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] droider137:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Anderson2:
Hi Aerowinder

Thanks again for the excellent instructions. Everything went like clockwork until it didn't ?......

I got to the point where I issued the command fastboot devices which did show the tablet serial number. But my next command to flash the bootloader img gave me the error:

Cannot open 'bootloader-flo-flo-04.02.img

(I had copy pasted the command from your instructions).

The subdirectory below the command window contains that file (one of 7 files)

Sorry. What should I do?

In case you need the info, the device screen showed

Fastboot mode

Product name - flo

Variant - flo 32G

Hw version - rev_e

Bootloader version - flo-04.02

Carrier info = none

Serial number - xxxx

Signing - yes

Secure boot enabled

Lock state - unlocked

Thanks again.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Anderson2:
Aerowinder, you are not only an expert but an excellent teacher. Your instructions above should be a sticky.

I'm all done. Everything is fine.

The problem I had above was a file path problem. Not sure why you told me to open the command window in the parent folder. When I opened it in the folder containing the seven files all your commands worked fine. (Except for your last one where you had a spelling mistake: fasboot instead of fastboot).

Thank you very much.
