[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diehardbattery:
First off, apologies if this is not in the correct forum, I'm not sure if this is device specific or not...

I have 2 phones. An AT&T Galaxy S5 and a Samsung ATIV S Neo running Windows Phone 8.1 Developer Preview. The one feature I absolutely love about the Neo is the ability to read and respond to SMS over bluetooth in the 3 vehicles I own... they are:

2014 Chevrolet Impala LT with MyLink (no Nav)

2013 Chevrolet Camaro SS (with Mylink and Nav)

2012 Chevrolet Traverse (no MyLink or Nav)

On what I am guessing is the MAP part of Bluetooth, my Windows Phone works with each vehicle flawlessly to receive and respond to SMS. I can't say the same for my S5 (which by the way, is rooted, running SafeStrap, and running Alliance ROM so that I can have Car Mode, which AT&T saw fit to remove out of their version). I can only get the S5 to work correctly with the Traverse, which also happens to be the oldest vehicle. I have yet to find a 3rd party app that might be able to get around this.

It is beyond frustrating that a 2014 device such as the S5 does not work with vehicles that are relatively new in this regard. Is this true of all 2014 devices? I wish there was an easy way to find out. Most car manufacturers and even aftermarket ones don't even list any 2014 devices as being compatible with them... I know it might sound like nitpicking, but a phone (the Neo) that was released almost a full year ago works fine across all my vehicles... am I missing something here?

And yes, the new thing with Android and vehicle integration is all well and good, but probably won't be able to see that in action for what.. another year at least?

UPDATE: I have since moved on from the S5 and have tried an HTC One M8, and a LG G3, both with similar issues. I have found an app called Robin that kind of worked on the G3, and another called SMS, My Car and Me (SMS+Car) that sort of works on the M8. The M8's own car mode works best but far from perfect. Voice recognition is not good, and has an issue quite similar to responding to sms and emails on Android Wear devices. It gives you absolutely no time to pause before sending, but in the case of the M8, the window to respond is way too short.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andro ninja:
Hi,

Knock on is not working on my LG g2 from past 2 days. I tried factory reset knock on/off toggle, device test, calibrate sensors. Finally I decided to return the phone but I need to unroot it for that.

As I cannot follow the usual process because my phone is not recognized in download mode via USB (both pc/linux) I tried installing a stock rom(80020k) and then uninstall the root. also I replaced the rtc files and the I tried to update the phone to D80020u but it fails with error saying device is suspected of rooting.

I became over smart and flashed a stock recovery which won't function.

No root, No recovery now. Tried rooting with ioroot25 doesn't work because it requires a functional stock recovery.

Any help/suggestions that can get me back to stock?

Thanks.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyylicous:
So I've had my m8 for a month. The past 2 weeks I've noticed my speakers aren't as loud as they used to be when I first got the phone. It's not terrible or anything so I don't think they're blown but they sound just like most phone speakers, average.

Is there any special settings I can go in to change anything? Not sure if this is related but I've also noticed a decline in battery life also

TWRP 2.7.1.0 for the Xoom

Must be BigPart repartitioned. I've flashed, backed up and restored, everything seems to work fine!

Thanks [MENTION=2371134]Schischu[/MENTION] for giving me a tip when I got stuck

Enjoy :)

Download:

Flashable zip in recovery: http://d-h.st/sGu

Mirror: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358559561

Flashable img in fastboot: http://d-h.st/RPz

Mirror: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358559563

What's new in 2.7.1.0:

- Add GUI option to change or repair file systems on individual partitions. The change is destructive so backup your data including internal sdcard first. This option should make it a little easier to migrate a device from ext4 -> f2fs, for instance. You will find this option under Wipe -> Advanced Wipe, then select only one partition and then press the Repair or Change File System button. If a developer has added f2fs support for your device and we don't have it in TWRP, please contact me via PM to arrange for it to be added.

- Various bugfixes to backup and restore

- Improvements to USB storage handling

- Added a class to search for files to make finding the correct brightness file automatic in most cases

- Various other bugfixes and tweaks

[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
Hi Matt,

I really appreciate the thoughtfulness, and concern you had for all of us in writing this file. However, I have real issues with the Dev-Host site itself that most of the Xoom developers seem to favor.

First of all, it's almost impossible to download the desired file from the site, no matter how hard you search for the proper download link. it would be nice if the site administrater could simplify the process. On this issue as well, this morning, as I tried to download, I ended up being redirected to porn sites several times. I'm sorry, but those redirects were greatly disturbing and offensive. Can you lodge a complaint with the site administrater? Pornography degrades, cheapens, and minimalizes human beings to make them into objects of self gratification.
[Xoom Android Development] matt4321:
The reason most RC/RDs use dev-host is that we get extended support for free! I will mirror the file to androidfilehost so others can get the file there.

Both files have been mirrored on my AFH account:

Matt, great job!

What are the differences between your build and RnH's?
[Xoom Android Development] matt4321:
There is no difference. I made this because I thought it'd be useful for the Xoom. About 2 days later RnH made his, I just don't think he noticed this thread so did it anyway. maybe [MENTION=3900214]runandhide05[/MENTION] can verify?

Either will suffice and work on bigPart :)
[Xoom Android Development] kmcrane:
That's how I saw it, but didn't know yours was f2fs capable.. I guess it is 2.7.1.0....
[Xoom Android Development] shpitz461:
f2fs doesn't matter right now, it's a limitation of the 2.6x kernel that we use (per BRD), time will tell...
[Xoom Android Development] matt4321:
It does have f2fs capabilities but I don't think we're getting f2fs support
[Xoom Android Development] kmcrane:
Yea I'm following everything on the zoom and grouper for EOS. I actually follow everything on the xoom that is big part. Rah has fixed his wording. His op said you must have a f2fs rom with this recovery. I flashed your recovery file because the lack of f2fs on xoom. He has since changed his op to be written in more understandable instructions. Making it clear that f2fs is just an option.
[Xoom Android Development] donriner:
Is there a way to determine the condition of the partition table? At this point I don't know if normal, bigpart or none? Can I force a good partition table in from the outside using RSD or Fastboot? I have no recovery right now.
[Xoom Android Development] shpitz461:
not sure what you're asking... if you don't have a recovery, you can flash one in fastboot mode.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Just get the raw image (.img) and not the recovery-flashable zip...

As to the partition info, i think there's info in the BigPart thread on how to determine what format you have.
[Xoom Android Development] donriner:
What I'm trying to learn is why NO recovery will take. I can fastboot and rsd, but nothing else. Everything I do is mirrored on the Xoom's display "Stormgr" writing what I send, but then booting to recovery goes nowhere!! There is apparently no OS on here either. We're very close to selling the darn thing for parts, but really don't want to. I think the combination of bigpart or standard recovery+boot performs the partioning? With no recovery - no partitioning. True?

.... you think this will improve our tablets (thor and apollo) chances of getting more dev time. Specifically unlocking the bootloader. The kindle fire phone has pretty much the same hardware as our tablets so hopefully most tools dev'd for the phone can be ported our way and visa versa. heres to crossing our fingers :fingers-crossed:

The bootloader on this device has already been unlocked. The devs just have not decided to release it. Hopefully that will change very soon and we can really make this tablet hum.

Me too. But for now, we can only burn and wither in the FireOS fireplace. I can't wait to get Play Store, XPOSED, and Safestrap on this machine. I dream of AOSP.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] GSLEON3:
Actually, if it were a phone, it would already be available to the general public.

What some of you may not understand is that the DMCA & more specifically, the LOC exceptions specifically INCLUDE cell phones. Unfortunately, they also very specifically EXCLUDED tablets from the exception. This makes it a crime to unlock the bootloaders on tablet devices. It can actually be pretty serious & aside from any damages that could be potentially awarded via civil action, the fines on the criminal side can be as much as $500,000.00 USD & can also include up to two years imprisonment.

While it likely wouldn't happen, if you happened to do something else that either the government or a manufacturer didn't like, that looms over your head.

The saddest part of this is that there was a "we the people" petition for both cell phones & tablets. The cell phone one acquired the number of signatures required to elicit a White House response, while the tablet petition expired well short of reaching the required number. Until the laws are changed by the legislation, or the new exceptions are released to include tablets, IN 2018, there is very little that can be done.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] S_transform:
Interesting, I didn't know that. I just did some interesting reading. So I'm assuming this is the reason the bootloader unlock hasn't been released yet. Does this mean it won't ever be released, or is there a way around it?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] EncryptedCurse:
I'd think it's more so of a lacking community. From what I've seen, there's a very limited amount of competent developers capable of even attempting to unlock the bootloader.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] jimyv:
Umm From what I understand it is already done.. For the tablets anyway. It just hasn't been released but I am confused on what was said in an earlier post.@ GSLEON3 If they were going to sue anybody why wasn't anybody's sued when they cracked the HD or the Nook color?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] sodequis:
...Because nothing has ever been put on the internet anonymously before :P
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] conan1600:
Actually this info is very erroneous. There was no tablet exclusion period. Rather there was no tablet inclusion as they could not come to terms with a suitable definition of what makes a tablet. This battle has already and is still being fought. But your interpretation of the newly founded ruling is in error. Also you will need to understand your terms better. Carrier unlocking a cell phone without the carriers permission is still a crime until such time as the ruling is re visited, this ruling will be upheld for 3 years. Bootloader unlocking, root, and Roms are very much still legal, and actually protected under these new rules for cell phones. There is no law at all in the DMCA ruling for Tablets.

No case has come before courts pending bootloader unlocking on tablets and the law is a grey area as there was no inclusion NOR exclusion made by the DMCA. The DMCA also made it quite clear that they want the American people to be free to customize their phone as they see fit with bootloader unlocks and roms. This ruling also HAS NO BEARING WHATSOEVER on other countries so any unlock coming from any other country is not subject to prosecution even on the carrier unlock for the releasing developer. Simply put, for developers in America, tablets are not specifically protected under the law to be bootloader unlocked, rooted etc. As such a potential law suit could be brought against a developer however there is no legal precedent for a case of that nature. Therefore tablets are still in the same legal limbo that they have ALWAYS been in while phones are protected.

The outcome of a trial on a case such as this would imo be flimsy at best and could prove deadly to the AOSP however, therefore serving to work against Androids best interests. The fines you quoted do in fact go up to 500,000.00 however they are specifically for carrier unlocking NOT bootloader unlocking as no law pertains to it except that it is legal to perform that action on cell phones. Many people and tech blogs have made similarly mistaken conclusions as you have but they as far as I have seen did not make the mistake on fines. Here is an example of one tech who gets it mostly right. http://rescueroot.com/android/is-rooting-android-phones-and-tablets-legal/ . Law is an interesting thing and all laws are designed to be complex but in this case there is simply NO LAW in the DMCA ruling pertaining to tablets.

This ABC article has a pdf with the actual DMCA ruling as well as a write up. http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/now-illegal-unlock-cellphone/story?id=18319518
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] gutts10:
its already been cracked. they have been quoted as saying that they are having trouble implementing it. what that means? i dont know but it could mean they are having trouble monetizing it ($25 per crack is what i heard) or they are having trouble with the actual code of the crack. either way, the crack is official as per some people on these boards that have more cred than me.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] GSLEON3:
Whatever, I NEVER said there was a tablet exclusion. What I said was tablet were very specifiaclly EXCLUDED, which they were because they found the term "tablet" to be too open to interpretation & too widely encompassing.

There are still other issues that can come into play in regards to unlocking bootloaders, such as modifying other partitions or factors that play into operating a device with an invalid FCC grant (as simple as enabling frequencies not covered under the initial grant, or changing power levels), which is indeed a criminal offense, maybe not related to the DMCA (the act, not the group), but I'm still not sure that is entirely the case, since everything I have read essentially excludes anything not specifically addressed by the exemptions, although I certainly haven't read the entire text of the laws as my schedule hasn't permitted it & frankly, if I have the time to read, I highly doubt it will be legal text.

Regardless, you also have laws regarding bypassing digital locks (untested) & even the exemptions that do apply, they only apply to "where circumvention is accomplished for the sole purpose of enabling interoperability". You still have laws & treaties requiring possible action for possible circumvention of DRM (a big thing for a media distribution giant like Amazon), not to mention protection of IP & competitive secrets that may be protected by said digital locks. As many of these laws have never been tested in court, the only real opinion on the matter (a judge or justice in the US), has never been issued. Either way, I was just passing along the info that one of the devs that successfully unlocked the bootloader shared. Really, for me, it matters not anymore. ;)

As to the 4 years, I was probably mistaken (something some people have no problem admitting), but I was under the impression it is revisited every three years, but not implemented until the following year.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] S_transform:
So then I'm assuming this is affected by the bill passed literally today that reads:

"by adding at the end the following: ``It shall not be a violation of this section to circumvent a technological measure in connection with a work

protected under this title if the purpose of such circumvention is to engage in a use that is not an infringement of copyright under this title.''

As far as I know this does not apply solely to phones, and would apply to tablets and all electronics if I'm reading it correctly. For a link to the bill and the code of law:
