[General Topics] Menneisyys:
As is reported in Tero Lehto’s mobility-related blog, Canalys has just published a report on the market share of mobile / smart phone manufacturers.

The figures (Windows Mobile has lost some 1.1% and now stays at 16.9%) are pretty interesting an, unfortunately, back up what I’ve been complaining about for a long time (see for example this and this): HTC, the most important Windows Mobile-based smartphone manufacturer (it’s HTC’s products that most rebranders / operators sell under their names) just refuses to include enhanced multimedia capabilities (for example, digital TV receivers) in their phones. That is, features that would really appeal to ordinary mobile phone users. It’s only some of their latest, just-released Smartphone models that they bothered to include FM radios – something the competing dumb / smart phone manufacturers like Nokia, Sony-Ericsson etc. have already had for more than five years. And I haven’t even mentioned TV receivers or anything similar. See the difference?

Only less-known and, what is even worse, only-in-the-Pacific-sold Pocket PC Phone Edition manufacturers like Gigabyte (see for example this thread on their latest model) include really cool multimedia features like digital TV receivers in their phones. Unfortunately, that's the only way to have digital TV on the Windows Mobile platform as the really usable DVB SDIO cards (see this article) are still not released. HTC? They don’t seem to bother. (ASUSTeK, the third independent hardware manufacturer, manufacturing for example the Fujitsu-Siemens T800/T830, doesn’t include any advanced multimedia features in their phones either.)

And I haven’t mentioned seamless (see this article for more info) phone call recording capabilities either. This has always been possible with even “dumb” (let alone Symbian-based – or, for that matter, the Palm OS-based Treo 650) phones of Nokia, Siemens and Sony-Ericsson in the last five years (with Sony-Ericsson, starting with the 2002 model t68).

HTC, when will we see hardware support for call recording in all your Windows Mobile models? Never, I bet. And don’t come telling me it’s not included because it might be illegal to record calls in some states / countries. Nokia, S-E, (the Windows Mobile-based) Gigabyte and the rest all have call recording capabilities. If they are allowed to manufacture phones with call recording capabilities, why isn't HTC?

If only Nokia or Sony-Ericsson manufactured Windows Mobile-based phones and not (just) Symbian-based ones... Just imagine the Nokia N95 (of which, Tero Lehto has just published another “quick test in 4.2 minutes” article; he’s pretty happy with the new model. Upon specific request, I translate the Finnish article into English.) running Windows Mobile! It would be a killer device, putting all current HTC models into shame, hardware feature-wise, I’d say.

Verdict

To change this trend, HTC should include in their phones what “ordinary” users want: advanced multimedia and call recording capabilities.

Thanks in advance
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rallypig31:
So after reading and watching videos i attempted to root my Kindle Fire 7 (1st gen) ( I have jail broken iphones no problem, rooted my galaxy s4 no problem) kept having issues getting it rooted so i kept I trying on both my laptop and desktop pc's finally got SuperSU on it thought it was rooted but its not. Apps to check for root says its rooted but Es File manager wont give me root access, one app says busy box IS installed another says it isn't. I attempted root with Bin4ry root method. Kindle itself runs fine and boots up fine.

Also when i open SuperSU it says that the SU Binary needs to be updated I hit Continue and no matter which option i choose (Normal or TWRP/CWM) it says installation failed. I've tried re-rooting/Un-rooting, updating SuperSU, I've tried Kindle Fire First Aid tool. I Have a factory cable now. But KFFT wont put kindle into fastboot, Even if turn the kindle on with the factory cable the kindle will boot in fastboot mode, I try option 3 in KFFT (restore) say no when it asks if I want KFFT to put it into Fastboot mode KFFT will flash a screen, then on the bottom it says it downloaded 3 images and then just says waiting for device and thats it.

At this point all im trying to do is get it back to how it was out of the box.

I have the android SDK installed and im completely clueless on ADB, when I open CMD its at C:\users\my name\desktop> and if i try any of the fastboot commands nothing works.

If you can still access your OS then install this app https://play.google.com/store/search?c=apps&q=su+checker and tell me what it says. If not then tell me so we can move forward from there.

I don't think Binary works on first generation KF. I think you need to use KFU.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rozin:
I have a nexus 5 rooted with stock rom and kernel and stock recovery+ xposed+GravityBox and some other xposed modules.

this happened sunday and again today.

I unlocked the screen and then the screen looked like that:

even on reboot the screen still was with the pixel snow

and after a few minutes of locking and unlocking repeatedly the screen turned OK again.

couldn't find a lot of information online.

does anyone knows why has this happened?

has someone experienced this kind of failure?

any advice?

thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
It's a hardware failure. Most probably the screen or the Flex cable went bad. It can only be solved by replacing it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doctor_droid:
Definitely a hardware fault.... Had exactly the same screen on my n86 when the repair guyz told me that flex cable was damaged...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rozin:
thanks..

the problem is I bought the phone on ebay and had it sent to my uncle who was in the states for a business trip and then he brought it to me when he finished his trip.

I'm not from the US so I don't know who should I complain to :\

sending it back to the US and **** will take a lot of time and probably money
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
Totally depends on the device's IMEI. If the IMEI if not of the country you're residing in, warranty goes out of the window. In any case, you need to send it in to get it fixed whether it's under warranty or not.

Good Luck :good:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doctor_droid:
Changing the flex cable won't cost alot...

If the screen is damaged (i hope its not) it will hurt...

So best is to get it done from local lg service center ..as u have no warranty by any means

Great app running on galaxy S5
[Android Apps and Games] AlexWekell:
Can you add Goo.gl support?
[Android Apps and Games] bagarwa:
I see this is using bit.ly. Will it be possible to use goo.gl in a future version perhaps? Also, can there be a login option? So that the short urls created with this, can be synced with my account.
[Android Apps and Games] carlosmg2:
Awesome app. it replaces ''URL Shortener'' at this moment, but i agree with people above... I would like goo.gl support too.

Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] Mohammad_Adib:
Sure, I could see that working better than bit.ly

Ill look into adding support for that as a pro option :)
[Android Apps and Games] pthakkar9:
Great app.. love it. Having login will certainly help.

[Android Apps and Games] fliparsenal:
Works for me using goo.gl thanks for the awesome app
[Android Apps and Games] bagarwa:
Awesome. Now, if only I could connect this with my Google account so that the shortened urls are saved in my goo.gl list.

Could you add the option to hide the notification?
[Android Apps and Games] asp2010:
Hi! Just installed your app and it's really cool, great feature!

Just one question. Why does it use so much memory? At 71 MB it's the heaviest service running on my device, and it doesn't look to me that it needs nearly as much. Would you benefit from some logs, maybe there's a memory leak or something?

Thanks again for your work and for the time!
[Android Apps and Games] kazemitsui:
Is the notification needed constantly? Can I hide it in app settings?
[Android Apps and Games] PeterImmel:
Yes, I tried. Still works...

Why does the app need so much RAM?
[Android Apps and Games] karlad:
nice idea,,,cheers :good:
[Android Apps and Games] asp2010:
Hi, I wish to report a bug.

It seems that if you copy a package name (happened to me with com.wolfram.android.alpha-1) your app will think it's a web link and will shorten it. Obviously this is not the desired behaviour and should be fixed :D

I hope this helps :good:

[Android Apps and Games] bad_HABIT:
WOW you are right.

I downloaded this app because I like the idea of it. But its clocking in at 184 MB cache memory. Is that right? Second highest memory is Google Keyboard at 71MB.

I mean I have the RAM to spare so for now I don't care but why does it require so much??

Hrm only 64 mbs on mine...

Awesome app! Truly great idea.
[Android Apps and Games] ela1103:

[Android Apps and Games] :
This is a great idea. The app works flawlessly.

Downside is memory usage.

114MB is a lot in my opinion.

Bit of memory management and 5 stars :D.

[Android Apps and Games] asp2010:
I saw this being posted a few times and since the OP hasn't replied, I thought I'd mention there's a way to disable notifications for a specific application if you go to its entry under Settings -> Apps :good:

I did a quick search and didn't see this mentioned anywhere, but you should exclude emails from this. I tried copying an email address to paste it somewhere else and it turned into a shortened URL.

If you are using Xposed, you could use NotifyClean to disable notifications.see signature

It's probably there to keep the app from being closed. I think in KK you should be able to block notifications from the app info screen.

Really wish this could be updated, I share links constantly and would be great if this still worked. I can make a donation if needed.

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pure Heroine:
Ok so there are some people (like me) who bought they're Motorola Droid MAXX/Ultra/Mini with what I believe is the first OTA KitKat update... What if we factory reset our devices? Wouldnt that send the phone back to when we first got it? which would be root-able? Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe it would send the phone back to how it was when it first came out the box. The 4.4 update with the blue hue :P

Side question... when you do the Easter egg... Why does an "S" pop up?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metfanant:
No, factory reset does not change the system software in anyway...just deletes all of the data
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cgordon17:
You can use rsd lite to go back to 19.5.3 to get the blue hue back

Rooted Droid Ultra
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
The first letter of the build number of the phone pops up. On nexus devices and now the Moto X, that's a "K" for kitkat, presumably. When 4.4 first came out on the X it was a "1". The build number on our phones is SU2-3.3 (currently).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sab3elbromba:
I have a Z Ultra GPe running 4.4.4 stock everything never wanted to root until the latest 4.4.4 OTA due to the low speaker volume, I can barely hear the phone ring anymore, I see there is a volume fix but that requires root and that's what I want to do; root.

As far as I understand and please correct me if I'm wrong, there are two ways to root :

1. Unlock bootloader, install dual recovery, change kernel, root.

2. Use towelroot apk to root the phone without modifying bootloader, recovery or kernel

I have seen that many people are facing camera problems when using method 1 due to unlocking the bootloader in addition to not receiving OTA updates after using method 1 (can't wait for Android L OTA)

If I root using method 2 will I avoid facing any camera problems and still receive OTA updates?

If there is another method I don't know about to fix the low volume issue or root my GPe please let me know, most important thing is that my camera is not affected and I continue to receive OTA updates.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Method 2 is the best way now that we have a root exploit. It wont modify the kernel/boot loader etc so should allow OTAs. As this is not unlocking the BL it shouldn't effect the camera (it is only 4.4.4 that this happened on), and you can back up the TA if you do ever want to unlock the BL. I would do a backup of the TA anyway as it will give you an easy root method should there not be one available on 5.0

in short: should work
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sab3elbromba:
Can you please elaborate, I don't know what TA is and why or how to back it up?!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
TA - Trim Area, It is where the DRM keys and other things are kept. It looks like this is what is breaking the camera in 4.4.4 with an unlocked BL. If you back up the TA you can restore it and thus relock the bootloader. There is a tool called TA backup linked in one of the stickies in the general section.

If in the future you cant get root to do a TA backup it would be handy to already have one. Then you can unlock the BL, flash supersu, restore TA and have a rooted phone with locked BL (and intact DRM keys)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sab3elbromba:
Thanks, will back up TA and root using towelroot
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sab3elbromba:
Sorry this may seem like a stupid question but I want to understand how this works;

If I root my device using the Towelroot exploit and my bootloader is locked and recovery and kernel are stock, will my TA or DRM keys be affected!?

I surely will backup my TA like you advised but I just wanna make sure I understand how it works as I am coming from a Samsung and HTC background so this is all new to me.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sab3elbromba:
and one last question please (sorry for asking so many questions)

Do I root first then backup, or do I backup then root?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
You have it right, your TA (hence DRM keys) won't be affected by the root process.

Root then back up the TA partition. You need root to pull the disk image off the phone, that's why GPe users that unlocked/rooted before towelroot are in the position with a buggered camera that seems to be looking for DRM keys.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sab3elbromba:
Thnx again!

This is a bit off topic but will we get an android L update at all now that the z ultra gpe has been pulled from the play store

People are saying that it has reached End of Life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] maxld:
We do not have many fortune tellers here. We should get it, but nothing is sure.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
Z Ultra Gpe released on Dec 13 2013. According to Google Gpe devices "traditionally" are updated for "about" 18 months. There is speculation that Gpe program may be winding down in favor of the "Silver" program. I would expect to see it updated to L but there are no guarantees.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
google would be hurting their brand if they pulled updates after only 8 months. Would you buy another google branded phone if they did that, be it GPe or Silver? This is why I cant see them not supporting well in to L
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sab3elbromba:
Agree with blueether, Google will probably update the ZU GPE to Android L, but that may be the end of the updates we get
[Moto X General] bleach168:
Moto X works great with the bluetooth controls in my car. With the combination of touchless controls and Motorola assist, I can listen to music, send texts, make phone calls, get weather reports, get sports scores, etc without taking the phone out of my pocket.

The only issue is the screen is a bit small for navigation.

If I wanted a bigger screen I would rather put a Nexus 7 or Ipad Mini in the dash. I wish automakers would just do that instead and just configure the software to better suit driving conditions.
[Moto X General] tu3218:
True but the problem is I don't always ride around with bluetooth media turned on. I like to listen to radio talk shows, so if I have the radio on, I won't get anything through bluetooth streaming(music, google now, etc). My calls come through of course, nothing audio because the car is on radio mode. So yes, it's useful if you're always on media/bluetooth streaming mode, but if not than not so much.
[Moto X General] biggiestuff:
In dash system is more elegant than having a moto x mounted on your windshield. Pressing a button while driving is easier than saying okay Google now, especially while listening to audio. 7" display is better than 4.7. Don't get me wrong, I use the moto x in exactly the fashion I've described above but a cleaner solution is always welcomed.

I'm just waiting for the new screen casting for Chromecast to start working with the Moto X.

Once that happens my chromecast is going into my car and being patched into my factory nav screen.

Boom! Google NAV, Pandora, Netflix, Plex, Google Play Music, etc... It's gonna be nice!
[Moto X General] biggiestuff:
Are you going to put a router in your car to? How are you going to cast it? I thought the screen casting works over the wifi network.
[Moto X General] bleach168:
Yeah, I think the ideal solution is to have a dumb screen that just mirrors your phone. It's cheap and effective. Too bad they will never do it because they don't want you watching Netflix while driving.
[Moto X General] deathsled:
Turn on wifi hotspot on my phone and let the chromecast connect to it. I can't remember if I was able to control the chromecast like that or not. I tested a few scenarios. Worst case I just use another device to control it while my phone is being the router/internet access.
[Moto X General] biggiestuff:
That seems more trouble than just connecting your phone to the Android auto head unit. Less functionality than mirroring but easier. Might as well just plug in a miracast adapter into your system.
[Moto X General] deathsled:
Well I have the chromecast already and don't have a miracast dongle, so the Chromecast is actually the easier and cheaper solution.

Plus I like the additional functionality beyond screen casting. Like what if I wanted to get Netflix going on the screen but still have my phone available...
