[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjc123:
Well, as it turns out it was my fault for not checking the Xprivacy security settings; I am brand new to that app. After wasting a good part of the day, I discovered that the Torque app for my OBD2 reader needs both "Identification (device)" and "Network(addresses)" permissions for the Bluetooth device to show up within the app so it can be connected to. Once I gave those permissions it was back to working OK again.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maigre:
Interesting. I temporarily turned XPrivacy off just for that purpose. The app that's failing for me wasn't being protected, anyway, but it doesn't matter. I can't even get to that point, because the devices don't connect, even though they're paired. Furthermore, only one of my devices even has XPrivacy installed. I can't get any two of my, or my friend's, Nexus devices to connect, even though they're all paired. And they all used to.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maigre:
I'm waking up this thread again to see if anyone has any ideas. I just can't connect two Bluetooth devices anymore by using the list of Bluetooth devices in settings on a Nexus device. This prevents an app that's dependent on that from working.

I CAN connect two devices via Bluetooth using ES File Explorer and see the contents of the other device and make file transfers. But the Bluetooth icon remains unlit and the connection isn't made in the settings. Maybe it's a different aspect of Bluetooth. When I close the connection with ES File Explorer, the toast says that the OBEX connection has been discontinued.

Why would I be able to connect two Nexus devices regularly for a year, then not be able to anymore?

I've tried to get Google support on this. Unlike some companies who provide inept support, even laughably so, Google just blows off the notion altogether.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maigre:
Some months later...

This problem remains unresolved. I've now tested this on multiple devices (about ten of them) running various different versions of Android. I just tried it today with another, a stock, factory state N4 trying to connect to a stock, factory state N7 (2012). I wiped the devices, reinstalled the OS and then tried to pair and connect as the very first act on the clean systems once I got past the initiation routine.. I even loaded a few different versions of Android from distant past (4.2) to present. I CAN NOT connect two paired Android devices using Bluetooth, even if they're successfully paired and Bluetooth is turned on for both devices. All these devices connect fine with things like external speakers and cars. I've shown this to Google employees, some of whom have tried it on their own devices. Nobody succeeds.

As mentioned earlier in the thread, this used to work every time on every set of paired devices, regardless of the Android version.

What could possibly be going on here?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] therealmeal:
I struggled with this for awhile today. Same symptom: the devices can pair, but will quickly go from "Conecting..." to "not connected". I eventually stumbled on the solution: one device must have internet tethering enabled. This setting is in the "Tethering & portable hotspot" section, not in the bluetooth settings. This will enable the two devices to connect, and it will also enable the second device to use the "Internet access" feature in the bluetooth configuration for its connection with the first device. Hope that helps!
[Moto X Q&A] XAlexander_AlexanderX:
What's the lowest has anyone been able to under volt the Moto X? I just tried -75 mV set globally and I haven't had any bad experiences so far.
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
My question is why? Not many reports of overheating on the X and that's all undervolting is good for?

You won't notice any battery life increase. That's a nasty myth. ;)
[Moto X Q&A] seangrimes590:
I'm at -125mv for 384 and -100mv for 486. Then 50 or 75 for the remainder. Have noticed absolutely no battery life difference. I'd be careful with -75 with overclocked frequencies if you're using faux ultimate kernel. I can't do more than-25mv at 1.944.
[Moto X Q&A] @rbiter:
your statement is a myth. it doesn't improve dramatically but nonetheless it helps. when I undervolt I am more looking for my CPU to stay cooler these add longevity and not letting the battery heat up as much. out of all my undervolted phones, there was a noticeable improvement on my galaxy nexus with battery life and heat. my note3 isn't dramatic, but I do notice my phone rarely gets above warm now. and depending on the bin of your chip, your undervolt can have more desirable effects if you have a great bin. my moto x had a 3 out 4 bin but I never flashed a custom kernel. my HTC one m8 has a bin of 9 out of 16. decent. but the guys who 13 and 15 bins should get great undervolt. undervolting is worth it. adds longevity to the battery itself the less it heats up.

sent from my HTC M8 using hofo app
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
Pretty sure I mentioned it keeps heat down. ;)

And I could have posted a huge long reply the first time....but "generally", undervolting to improve battery life is barking up the wrong tree. YES it should have minor improvement....but not anywhere near what some people hope when they do it.

At best you may gain a couple total hours and maybe 20, 30 minutes screen time.....if you tweak other kernel settings as well??? Hopefully we can agree on that. And to me, the possible instability from guys pushing the limits is not at all worth those small battery savings.

As far as longevity of the battery.....all I know is my oldest device is 3 years old...and battery life is as good as it was when I got it. But sure, it might help.

Heavy gamers or anyone with heat issues....yes....undervolting will help.

Guys with "bad" battery life.....you will at best go from "bad" to "still pretty bad". :)

I recently got myself my first SD card - a 2GB Datawrite, which is supposed to do 20 MB/second.

Keen to find out the truth, I insert it into the SD drive on my laptop (HP nc6220) and measure:

~0.5 MB/second write speed

I then put it into the Prophet and measure (in TCMD):

~0.08 MB/second write speed

Is this the best I will ever get out of the device??? Read-speed seems to be okay.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Rezinator:
Hi,

I have an issue that started happening a few weeks ago. I would be using Google Music and listening to a CD (stored locally on my device), and then then the songs would start randomly changing...sometimes it would happen every few seconds...sometimes several times within a second..(as if someone had control of my device). When I go to stop google music (by hitting the X), it would start back up and start playing. [It will NOT jump outside of the playlist/cd selected....and it won't always skip in order....]

I rooted my phone a month or two had have been running EclipticOne6 [Keeping up with the latest releases]...with no issues until a few weeks ago [I thought it might have initially been related to constantly switching skin packs...]

I then went and tried wiping my device [Factory Reset...and even Advanced Wipe (everything including Internal storage)].and doing a fresh full install of 4.4...but that didn't fix it.

Last weekend i wiped it again and a completely new rom [Santod040's stock rom (updated 6/11/14)] and was fine for a few days, then it started reappearing. I've not installed any new programs....it's not constant.....but it's SUPER annoying.

Everything else works just fine on the phone.

Few things I've tried/Notes:

Doesn't happen all the time (sometimes it'll be fine for an hour....sometimes it'll happen almost immediately)

Rebooting/clearing cache doesn't appear to have an effect (no worse/no better)

I even tried another music app (AIMP)...and it did the same thing [In case this was related to some google service]

I've tried disabling any other running programs [Using Greenify and SDMaid]

It doesn't appear to be tied to a "timed" event....ie...doesn't happen every "5" minutes [Like a program wakes up and trips it]

I do use TIBU to restore apps/data (have been using this for years)

Lately, I've been Google restore my apps/settings when setting up the phone with each rom update

Once right after this happened I opened up MX Player (for video)....and the same thing happened....

I'm not new to rooting/unlocking/roms [been beating the heck out of many devices over the years :)]

I've done a bunch of searches but can't seem to get a hit related to this

This will happen if I'm holding my phone still (so I don't think this is related to touching the volume button or activating something in my pocket.).....??

Anyone have thoughts / things to try? My next attempt might be to do a factory reset, and wipe everything and start from scratch...but that's a bit drastic. Or worse yet....return it to Verizon and have them give me a new phone (unrooted/locked)....

Thanks in advance,

Rez

[Firefox OS General] cairnarvon:
Hello,

I've recently bought a ZTE open with FirefoxOS.

For me the keyboard is too small for my fingers. Is there anyway to increase the size? Or install an app for an alternative keyboard? I had a quick look on marketplace but found nothing.

Also I set up my academic email with the stock email client but it doesn't work, even with manual set up. I suspect it's because of SSL not being enabled. Are there any email clients that allow chaning SSL settings?

After swapping my sim card into the new phone, some of my contacts have not been imported. Before you ask, yes these were stored on the sim and not the phone. Strangely, my new contactslist has contacts that I have deleted in the past and the old names of contacts I have since changed.
[Firefox OS General] Saijin_Naib:
What version of FirefoxOS is your Open running?

The keyboard isn't all that small, the problem is actually that the keyboard is really inaccurate in V1.1, slightly improved in v1.2, and gets progressively better as the versions go up. The keyboard (same size) on v2.1 is a joy to use, but still no match for a physical QWERTY keyboard.

What type of email is your academic email? Mine is using Google Apps (Gmail), and after manual setup, it works fine. You can set up the SSL settings right in the email client.

Sounds like your old phone was saving your changed contacts to the internal memory and not the SIM.
[Firefox OS General] cairnarvon:
V1.0.0B02

I need to upgrade. How do I do this? Flash a SD card? I have updates enabled.

It's based on outlook and uses outlook servers. Automatic config does not work. Tell me, where can I set the SSL settings?

I guess this may be because the SIM reached the limit for contacts. So I guess I could delete some contacts and then copy them to the SIM.

And thanks for the help.
[Firefox OS General] Saijin_Naib:
ZTE Open for US or EU?

You'll need to download the official ZTE Open v1.1 ROM for your version (US or EU) that says it is for v1.0

This thread has a nice guide:

https://hacks.mozilla.org/2013/12/upgrading-your-zte-open-to-firefox-os-1-1/

If you want to go beyond v1.1, ZTE has developer pre-release version of v1.2 that mostly works okay.

Beyond that, things start to break and you're more or less on your own. There are no official final versions after v1.1, so you'll have to compile your own from source, or flash a pre-compiled version from someone else.

Check this thread here for more info: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2587484

There should be a little text that says manual configuration. On v1.1 and above you can change the SSL settings, but I'm not sure what version brought support for Exchange Active Sync, if your server is using that instead of IMAP.

No problem.
[Firefox OS General] cairnarvon:
Is it possible to go from version 1.00 to 1.2?

Or do you have to go from 1.0 to 1.1 and then 1.2?
[Firefox OS General] Saijin_Naib:
It might be possible, but you could run into issues because ZTE was supposed to unlock the bootloader during the v1.1 update series.

I'd step through from v1.0 to v1.1 and then to v1.2.

Once you've done that, you can do whatever :)
[Firefox OS General] cairnarvon:
Tried updating to 1.1

When appling the update, I get this error:

"signature verification failed", searched online and there doesn't seem to be a solution. And yes, I am using the correct region firmware.
[Firefox OS General] Saijin_Naib:
That isn't right. I got that when I didn't download the v1.1 (for v1.0) update on my device when I first started. I had to go v1.0, v1.1, v1.2, and then from there.

Also, make sure you don't muck with the zip at all after you download it. No unzipping, no editing the contents, nothing.
[Firefox OS General] vampirefo:
We have same type of signature errors on open C, using custom recovery should help as signature checking can be turned off.
[Firefox OS General] cairnarvon:
Are you telling me you downloaded a v1.0 update before installing the v1.1 update?

How do I use custom recovery?
[Firefox OS General] Saijin_Naib:
No, but I had to download the proper v1.1 update (designed to be flashed over v1.0 firmware), in order to not get the signature verification failed message.

Read these two carefully. One will only flash over v1.0 base, one will only flash over v1.1 base.

http://www.ztedevices.com/support/smart_phone/b5a2981a-1714-4ac7-89e1-630e93e220f8.html

CWM you have to flash over your recovery partition. I found it wouldn't flash any of the stock ROMs for my Open successfully with signature verification On/Off, so I removed it.
[Firefox OS General] cairnarvon:
Right, I tried to flash this ROM :

OPEN(American Standard) SD card upgrading instruction & software package(ebay)-237620B0669OPEN_US_DEV_FFOS_V1.1.0B02(for V1.0)

Because I have a V 1.0 base. When I tried to flash it I got this error about asserting getprop. I searched online and found this solution:

http://pof.eslack.org/2013/07/05/zte-open-firefoxos-phone-root-and-first-impressions/#comment-1773

This involved modifying the updater script. Surprisngly, this didn't work because now I get the signature verification error I was getting with the other ROM.

Is there a way to turn off signature verification? Or to fix the getprop error?

--

EDIT:For anyone wondering, the error was because I was trying to flash the wrong firmware version.

I'm a user of Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom for about a month, and always had Android Phones that were up to date regarding software. Even by the manufacturer or the community.

But the S4 Zoom is stuck in Android 4.2.2 and the development thread is dead in its section of the forum. So I tought of coming here to request a LIGHT. Is there something that I could do to help a start of this? My phone is rooted, but it's the more succeeded that I have been regards this matter.

For dummies, the S4 Zoom looks like a S4 Mini with a camera on steroids, more or less the same specs. Hence I'm here to ask for it :(

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stubbadub:
Hi

I have found that if you clear the data for the Media Storage app then you lose the pairing for wireless media transfer. I copied a few folders to my phone and ended up with a load of pics in album that i didnt want. I added a .nomedia file and had to clear the Media Storage data to stop the broken links showing in Album.

The problem this has caused is that i have now lost wireless media transfer. I have tried setting up the pairing again but on windows 8.1 you cant reconfigure network access and have to go through the companion app i believe. When i try and pair the phone it says that it is already paired.

Is there anyway of restoring this pairing?

Thanks

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stubbadub:
Hi,

The problem is not with the wifi dropping but the wireless media transfer. When you go into Settings>Xperia Connectivity>USB Connectivity. Under Wireless Media Transfer it usually shows your paired devices. However when you clear the Media Storage data it clears these pairings. When you try and pair it again it says that it is already paired but nothing is showing in the settings.

---

I have found the solution. When you browse the root of the phone, you will see a file with the name of the pc you have been paired to. If you delete that then you can pair the phone again.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenewbigmack:
Hey guys... weird issue here and have no idea how to fix it. Haven't been around the rooting scene for quite some time, so hoping this is an easy fix. I have a D801 4.4.2 from tmobile that I rooted with towelroot and then installed TWRP with autorec. After I did this, I started getting a distorted screen issue. The issue only occurs once I turn my screen back on after it times out. The screen turns multiple colors, with lines running through it. It's an overlay type of screen because you can faintly see the actual screen underneath, and well as having the screen still function. Tried to do research, but couldn't find anything. I attached a video of the issue. Thanks in advance!

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] diegoultra:
Hi all,

I need your input between buying Z Ultra now and waiting for the Note 4. Please let me know your thoughts.

As background, I recently cracked the screen of my Note 2 and am in search of a new phablet. Although I loved my Note 2, I am not biased towards any brand and am open minded to Sony.

Anyway, now that rumor has it that Note 4 will likely be available by October, I am interested and want to wait to see what it has to offer. On the other hand, Xperia Z Ultra is a nice phone with big screen but it seems to be lacking some of the features that Samsung has to take advantage of the big screen like split screen. Also, the Z Ultra also lacks the integrated S Pen (use occasionally) and dedicated apps. However, I do realize that it is a very capable phone and the price makes it good value.

Please keep in mind that whatever I end up purchasing, I plan to use it for at least 2 years or more. I do have a spare phone to bridge me between now until the Note 4's release later this year (i.e. not rushed/pressured to buy now).

Thanks guys and please give me your 2 cents.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
Well if you are happy with the size of the Note 2 screen, I would probably just stay with Note 4 then.

In my case, I was very disappointed with Note 3 not being at least 6" so I skipped it and went to Ultra instead. Now I dont think I can go any lower...certainly not 5.7" as Note 4 is supposed to be . :)

Ultra does have small updates which are similar to the multi app thing for Note.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] diegoultra:
Thanks for the feedback! Do you find that carrying the phone outside is a challenge due to its bulk? I get to play with one recently and while I enjoyed using it as a tablet indoor, I found it hard to carry it around outside. It barely fits into my front jeans' pocket (not tight jeans) and I ended up holding it in my hand. Did the size bother you and how do you carry it outside?

Also, do you find the screen looks washed out? In the Gmail app, the white background makes the screen looks really washed out... compared to the screen of my Note 2. Perhaps this is personal preference.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hudsonhicks:
I recently just bought my Xperia Z Ultra after a year with my Xperia Z...

I got mine fom ebay for £210.. fantastic value i think for a device with such a big HD screen, and a quad 2.2 cpu..

Much better for me i think.. i was kinda torn between ultra and z2.. but i'd have to spend £550..

Size doesn't really bother me but you need to think about your lifestyle..

I have lockers at work so i can safely keep my phone in there.. otherwise it'[d be abit annoying keeping it in my trouser pockets

I only really wear jeans on a night out.. so i wouldn't take my phone there anyway.. I have a backup small phone to save numbers and stuff..
