I'm using Hangouts on an N5, but anytime that I try to send a message, it defaults to SMS (through Hangouts) instead of a chat message, which is what I want. Even if I'm replying to a chat that someone just sent me, it tries to send it as an SMS. Quite annoying.
[Samsung Gear Live] adiliyo:
that won't work until samsung updates their apps to include wear support.

as of right now the only apps i know of are evolve sms and hangouts

when i initially received my watch, I added most of the apps to my G2. I'm using contacts+ for SMS which has wear compatibility. works fine for verbal replies from the watch.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] will182:
Long story short, 1 month ago my Nexus 7 (2013) got water damaged, I immediately covered it in rice and left it for a couple of days, and after turning it back on, have a weird issue.

The power button will not work what so ever, I've tried holding it in for over 60 seconds, aswell as holding in the volume buttons along with the power button.

The only way to turn it on is to plug the nexus into the mains. I then get the white LED flashing 5 times, which I assume means it's charging up from a completely dead battery.

After about 20 minutes of charging, the google logo will pop up, stay on for 3-5 seconds, then the unit will reset itself (screen goes off, then back on to the google logo, and repeats like that).

However....If i hold in the volume down button, it'll boot up like normal, everything works fine, but take your finger off the volume button and it'll reset and only boot to the google logo. Holding volume up will take it too the boot loader.

The issue is that at no point, (in the bootloader or once its booted in to the OS) will the power button work whatsoever.

I first assumed that the button was broken, and stuck to the ON position, so ordered a new button cable (which includes the power button, volume up and down, aswell as the microphone) but this hasn't done anything.

Wondering if anyone had any thoughts?
[General Questions and Answers] El greco:
Hello guys! In my old mobile, I had installed an app (I believe it was a battery manager or something similar) wich had also a mode similar to the extreme save battery mode that the s5 has, a black screen with only call, sms and other few options and everything else deactivated. You could access this mode not from the settings of the phone but from the app menu if I remeber correctly, it had a dedicated icon (just like it was another separate app) but was not a launcher.

Do you know what app could it be?

Thank you very much! :)

Can anyone who owns the G3 confirm that USB Audio Out (over an OTG cable) works through a DAC? I can't seem to find any information that confirms or discounts that this works.

Thanks!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesadac:
It does work with my Fiio E17. Just tried it today after almost buying an app that was supposed to do so. My only complaint is that the DAC seems to be charging while connected to the G3.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PearcePowers:
Thanks, Jesadac! That's great news... I was hoping this was the case, as I believe the G2 also supported it.

I assume you're referring to the USB Audio Player Pro app? It truly doesn't replace the native ability to have a clean digital audio out signal for all sounds out of the phone.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IMokwithAT:
Just bought the new Cayin C5 DAC/Amp. My TMo LG G3 does not put audio out though the amp when connected via OTG. It registers it's connected I'm guessing because all audio is no longer played through the phone. Plugged into my friends Note 4 and it worked right away. Is this is G3 problem? We're both on Lollipop.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowsDemise:
Does anyone else get input lag (that lasts for a few minutes to hours) each day?

Every day (most of the time at around the same time) I'll get horrible input lag that will last from a few minutes to hours that will make the button presses on the remote take 3+ seconds just to register and execute on the Fire TV.

I sideloaded an app to check the CPU usage and it doesn't seem like there is any major CPU usage when I'm experiencing input lag.

This is a very annoying problem with my Fire TV and I'm not sure if other people experience the same problem.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retroben:
If you have root access,you can use Trickster Mod after installing busybox to increase GPU performance by setting the Govern to performance.

This will partially overclock it to always run 400Mhz instead of going down to lower values which causes inconvenient lags.

I managed to get extremely fast performance after enough consecutive hours of on-time.

You could also get Kernel Tuner to make sure all four CPU cores are enabled and at the proper .384-1.7 settings.

My CPU0 was strangely disabled with the maximum clock on zero but I enabled the core by sliding it to 1.7 where it should actually be.

There is some hidden buttons on the main screen for turning CPU1,2,and 3 on/off you can find with the arrow keys.

You can also set your color bit depth to 32bit or 16bit while 24bit is the default for some reason.

Mine runs perfectly fine on 32bit and it appears to look much sharper.

Why is the default set to 24bit when 32bit works fine and looks better?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hrodriguez77:
Won't this cause the FTV to overheat? I'm thinking about doing this myself, but wouldn't want to cause any premature damage for a slight increase in performance.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retroben:
The GPU is not far from max when set to normal mode.

It would usually stick around 320Mhz while occasionally going up to 400Mhz.

The heat has not been much different with performance mode keeping the GPU at 400Mhz.

Don't mess with the Quad-Core CPU modification,because that is the main thing that might overheat you.

I keep mine completely on default apart from enabling that one strangely disabled CPU core.

Out of 212F possible degrees,Trickster Mod's Temperature Info reads out 120F right now after quite a few hours of usage while the "battery" says 86F.

I also recently acquired two nice apps that use root to customize settings for a major performance boost in general and with "touch" related performance as well.

I have noticed a smoother touch scroll in browsers,faster menus,and app loading speeds.

The two apps are called Performance Booster and Digitizer Booster.

Performance:

Digitizer Booster (responsive touch):

Hey Retroben,

Can you do a posting with all your tips in the forum? your tips have greatly helped me out. Im sure many will greatly appreciate the performance boosts you helped us get.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retroben:
I got to gather my findings before I can,but I'll see what I can do.

The major speed increase with GPU Govern set to "performance" while 400Mhz is my biggest accomplishment of findings.

I will need to devise a series of steps for each of my findings,so it might take a long while.

The 32bit Color Depth does seem a lot more vibrant and crisper than 24bit.

If anyone is curious, I found out that having a controller plugged in can cause the random input lag.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roustabout:
I'm curious about what these apps actually do. The dev won't say; it looks like a lot of it build.prop style tweaks but I'm not sure if it's directly editing the file or adding a loadable script someplace.

On the 24 vs 32 bit color: it's not clear to me that for a TV screen, there's an advantage to 32 bit color. There will be a performance improvement in graphics, as the GPU is calculating many fewer bits per pixel.

The 8 bit and 24 bit images in the Wikipedia article are pretty interesting to look at on a display. I'm surpised by how similar they are on my computer display at its normal 32 bit resolution:

8 bit

[IMG="8 bit image - wikipedia"]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/ff/8_bit.png[/IMG]

versus 24 bit

[IMG="24 bit image - wikipedia"]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/69/Truecolor.png[/IMG]

An excellent interactive comparison of bit depths is at

http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/bit-depth.htm

IF I can extract the tv from the teenager anytime soon, like tomorrow, I'll look at that cambridge image on the set as well. On the computer, at 16 or 32 bit, the difference in appearance of the last two images in it is very subtle.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilcza1:
I have all for cores running on Performance max thanks to Kernel Tuner and the GPU on Performance at 400 with Tweak mod and i switched to 32 bit and im running a bit slower now with FF Type Zero in PPSSPP compared to before. I think im going to switch back to 24 bit and hopefully get a bit more speed back.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retroben:
THAT IS WHAT I SAID NOT TO DO!

The CPU cores all set to that height will majorly overheat your device,and might kill it.

The most you should do is use Kernel Tuner to set the minimal speeds up to something around 50% full.

I reccommend either leaving it at the default or setting it around the 500 range.

Leave the CPU Govern alone,but GPU on performance mode with Trickster Mod is fine.

The Kernel Tuner's 32bit option does not negatively effect the performance enough (if at all),so you can keep it on with no problems.

The framerate of PPSSPP is dependant on what settings are used.

I have almost everything enabled and I get fluid 60fps with DBZ Budokai Shin.

I also get a nearly stutterless fps with SRB2PSP which normally runs abysmal on the actual system.

My PPSSPP settings...

Graphics:Non buffered,frame limit unchecked with 50% alternative speed,all of performance enabled, and the two speedup hacks enabled.

System:Multithreading and I/O disabled with native 330Mhz PSP clock speed on 2000/3000 mode.

A majority of games will have visual issues (Simpsons Game 3D graphics broken [I blame Qualcomm]) while the two I have tested (DBZ Shin and the SRB2PSP homebrew/port) work nearly flawlessly at full rates.

The 50% alternative rate is really helpful for better performance,since the game still goes up to full speed.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilcza1:
Yeah i just did performance govern for a temp performance test, i get the same speeds on ondemand just fine. but i'll try turning off multithreading and I/O and test it again with the other tweaks you said for PPSSPP.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retroben:
It must be related to new bloatware like the kiddy mode and music management.

If you press alt+tab on a keyboard to view recent apps,the media options like apps games videos and photos will be listed,which means they run every time you pass the related options.

Just posting this FYI...

As known the new android 4.4 kitkat doesn't allow writing to the external microsd card (ExtSd). There is a fix for rooted users. There's even an app to apply this fix.

So after applying the fix all is fine. All your apps can write to the external SD card... Except Polaris office 5. The option to save is just greyed out.

Here's what the Polaris customer support said in a typical utterly useless canned response:

Me:

Response:

Solution: SD writing does work in other office programs. Even the free and fine google Docs / Sheets / Slides can save to ExtSd, but you have to manually enter the proper location, even if you opened the file from the ExtSd card.

I was having some issues with my phone, so I followed the instructions to unroot and re-lock my bootloader. Everything seemed to work fine. I restored from 4.4.2 to 4.4 and then took an OTA back to 4.4.2. Now when I try to flash anything in fastboot or mfastboot, I get the following error:

My phone reports the bootloader is unlocked. Status Code: 3

The phone works fine and I've had no issues installing or configuring.

It's funny that you say that, because there are just as many posts with guides on how to do it. Luckily, my phone is not bricked. But I would love one of the geniuses here to explain why it's happening and if and how I can fix it.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:

and there are many, many, many more. Just for the sake of not linking dozens of posts, I feel that those will suffice...

Some have been semi-successful on downgrading by flashing everything except GPT.bin, but this means you will have mismatched versions on your phone, which will result in a hard-brick once a new OTA comes out.

Even if you are fine now, the next OTA you accept will brick your phone.
[Moto X Q&A] Morrolan:
I linked to them via Google search, so it's a hassle. I did see the warnings after this downgrade, which was unintentional. Mislabeled file that I didn't check.

Kinda weird it didn't brick when I did the OTA for 4.4.2.

I appreciate you telling what the issue is. Is there no way to fix the mismatch?
[Moto X Q&A] rebretz000:
You can probably use RSD Lite and the correct firmware to fix your phone. RSD the proper 4.4.2 and you'll be fine. After i took the 4.4.2 OTA when it first came out I tried to RSD back to 4.4 just to see if it would work and of course it didn't. I just rebooted the bootloader, fastbooted TWRP in, wiped everything. Cache's, data, system, internal storage and RSD'd the proper 4.4.2.

Phone will be restored and no issues.

Since you have a developer edition it will be hard to brick your phone. You can always use Team Blackhats factory cable adapter to get your phone into bootloader also.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
There is one possibility to get you back on track.

Find the "Return to Stock" thread: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515

We are going to use the "manual method"

Do NOT use RSD Lite, and follow MY instructions:

FIRST, before you follow the return to stock thread, boot the device into bootloader.

You will need the entire stock 4.4.2 SBF File for your carrier from here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0

Now unzip the file into the same folder that fastboot and mfastboot are located.

FIRST, execute these commands:

mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin

mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

now reboot into bootloader:

mfastboot reboot-bootloader

now run these commands:

mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin

mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

(Yes, we just did these again - it is intentional)

NOW, execute all the commands listed in the "Return to Stock" thread.

If you don't get errors, then you are in good shape.

EXPLAINATION:

gpt.bin is "GUID Partition Table"

what we are doing is JUST flashing the partition table, and bootloader, then allowing the phone to reboot into bootloader to LOAD the new partition table BEFORE we write the rest of the partitions. It has worked for some.

Please let us know if it works for you....

My only suggestion is in the future, please don't use google search or youtube for flashing tutorials - these get alot of people in trouble, and we spend a great deal of time fixing these issues. Please always come to XDA for tutorials and instructions to make sure you aren't at risk of bricking. This could have been much worse (good thing the 4.4.3 / 4.4.4 OTA hasn't been released yet...)
[Moto X Q&A] Morrolan:
Yes, sir! I made a huge mistake downloading a file from outside XDA that caused the problem. That and my dumb self not checking the file first. Hopefully, 4.4.4 will be an easy upgrade and then on to L. I really appreciate it!
