Hi guys I bought a Himedia h8 tv box and would like to control it with my phone, specifically for typing etc as using the remote is quite cumbersome. Is there an app to install? I have tried tablet remote but i am unable to install it from the play store on the h8 as it is not "compatible". It needs to work over wifi as there is no bluetooth on this tv box.

If its easier, can I use the IR blaster??

Also prefer to not root. My note 2 is rooted however don't wanna root my tab s or dads s4. The tv box is not rooted.

Thanks

Hey everybody!

I had a Xperia ZL phone but sadly it just died about week ago but before it died I made a phone backup using PC Companion. Yesterday I bought a Z2 so my question is can I restore my ZL backup on my Z2?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
no! never restore backup across 2 different devices, it will cause a brick

i know that 4.4.2 for xperias is alot alike each other, this makes alot of mods work across all xperias,

i recomend you only try this if you know how to unbrick a device and/or very familiar with flashtool

try restoring the backup BUT DATA ONLY
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meroti:
Yeah I'm not really familiar with flashtool and I don't really want to brick my phone. Will it be ok if I just restore the data only? Will this brick my phone or cause me any other issues? The only thing I really care about is my contacts information. I can just re download my apps and my photos were on the external sd card.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
like i said try only if you know how to fix , you cant restore system or cache but data partition may work, i dont recomend trying

try finding a used zl and restore to that, your internal storage will not be restored but this depends on how you backed up

I'm on stock rooted 4.4.2 running Franco kernel. Question is how do I update with out bringing phone to factory settings
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you make a backup in recovery, then dirty flash, dont wipe a single thing, 444 over it. if alls well after, then perfect. if you have issues, you have that backup in recovery to restore :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROADKING17:
I downloaded then tried to flash the zip file in twrp .. It says it failed not sure what to do next and is 4.4.4 the latest firmware?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Unfortunately my clairvoyant skills aren't working today

perhaps you could elaborate on the following 2 things

1) what zip are you flashing?

2) what error are you getting?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROADKING17:
The pop up I get every 3 days for me to update my device to 4.4.3 I believe.. It's located in twrp under cache... When I try flashing it says error in red lettering ... Also I tried Uninstalling Xposed but seems not to change anything
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Don't use OTA updates. Just manually flash a rooted stock ROM via TWRP.

Click the link in my signature and go to the "resources" section. You'll find a full rooted, PURE STOCK 4.4.4 rom there.

Copy it to your /sdcard, take a FULL nandroid backup then flash the ROM.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROADKING17:
Will I lose anything on my device and will I be able to dirty flash
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zepius:
did you read any of the threads? the answer is in there.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
if the dirty flash is successful, you wont lose a thing, except time. if you have to go back and wipe, you will lose your data. so, make a backup in recovery first, before the dirty flash.

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtaylor429:
First, I am amazed at all the folks who contribute here. Thank you for sharing you knowledge and assistance with those of us that are less knowledgeable. With regard to all the discussion on the locked bootloader - my question is: Who is really responsible for the bootloader being locked - Motorola or Verizon?

I have a Maxx on 4.4 11/2013 build (won't take the 4.4.4 update and lose WP off) and tried to see if I could get my bootloader unlocked by Moto or Verizon and both just pointed fingers at each other and neither offered any possibility of unlocking, no surprise there I guess. Being a 2013 build the Chinaman method is out for me 8-( But still - just who really is to blame for the locked bootloader?

Secondary question - since the phone is boot locked doesn't that pretty much make it impossible to move to another carrier? Is the new law the President just signed supposed to stop this nonsense? Can I push the issue armed with this law now in effect with either Verizon or Moto since unlocking a phone is supposed to be legal and allowed?

Thanks for your thoughts...

Trebor
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rekids:
GSM unlocking is required by law once the customers obligations are completed allowing the phone to goto another carrier if the phone is physically able to run on the carriers network.

That is what I read on a couple of other sites a couple days ago. Our maxx from my understanding came new GSM unlocked from VZW.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
Bootloader unlocking and carrier unlocking are not the same thing. All moto's are bootloader unlocked and moto gives the option to void your warranty and get an unlock code from them directly. Verizon does not allow this and won't allow moto to unlock those devices. Perfectly legal and really nothing you can do about it other than buy a dev edition.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtaylor429:
So are you suggesting that I should be able to take my Maxx, pop in a T-Mobile GSM and be able to run with it??? I didn't think it worked like that. How would updates be handled, by Verizon or T-Mobile?

I know a few folks managed to get the Maxx on T-Mobile, but presumed that was only after unlocking the BL and then flashing a ported ROM.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtaylor429:
So you're suggesting that Verizon is ultimately responsible and prevents the unlocking of the BL??? And isn't it true that since the BL is locked I am prevented from taking my device to another carrier and using THEIR version of Android. Doesn't that fly in the face of the new law? In the end, with a locked BL I am essentially tied in perpetuity to Verizon if I want to use the phone I paid full price for.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
All 4G phones with the 700 mhz band from Verizon are SIM unlocked out of the box. Just put a T-Mobile SIM in your Maxx and add the appropriate APN. No fuss. I've tested this on my own Maxx and LG G3.

The bootloader being locked has nothing to do with the SIM unlock.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mulhiny:
Nearly all Verizon LTE phones are Sim unlocked right out of the box...yes, you can take your Maxx and pop in an ATT or T Mobile Sim and run with it...after applying the proper APN of course...

As far as updates, no carrier is under any obligation to update phones...you'd be on your own in that regard.

I imagine you could still update via WiFi from Verizon though..
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtaylor429:
Well that bit of advice from the two posts above is disheartening. I was hoping that the new law would have some effect on forcing either Moto or Verizon to unlock the bootloader.

I love what the Droid Maxx has in it, but the policy of locking the device and restricting its use is akin to buying a car but then being told you can only use Shell gas or Firestone tires on it. It's my friggin' car!!! But oh if you spend more for the Dev Edition of the car, you can use any gas you want!

I know I am whining to the choir....:crying:
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
Dev edition is the same price
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtaylor429:
No it wasn't - the Dev Edition was $649.00 when the Standard was $499.00 and whats worse, the Dev Edition has been pulled from Motorola's web site and you cannot even buy it anymore. Check out the Motorola site yourself.... Very Disappointing... They even redirect you straight to Verizon's website to purchase the standard version...

For some reason this one doesn't have the video call function!

This one doesn't, why is that? It's not unlocked right ?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] walshieau:
try a hard reset... if that fails goto the wiki .......

and follow the details...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
NO. You just need to install the ExtROM cab file which installs the video call function. Don't ask me which one is it because I don't know out of memory, as pointed by walshieau check the wiki and see yourself (but you don't need to hardreset).

Hello Pof. Actually I already asked my predicament with no video call in the Kaiser forum. However, i didnt get any favorable response. But after seeing the posts here I was thinking if the ExtROM cab for Hermes will work with my AT&T Tilt so that I can use the video call option. I already installed the HTC Rom in my Tilt (with your HardSPL) so that it will have the video call option in the dialer. I was able to have a connected 3G/video call from the other line using a nokia e90. However, my Tilt could not send/receive video image to/from the other line despite being connected. Is there an ExtROM file for the Tilt? Thank you in advance.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Bigmaclover30:
Alright, to start I have tested this and am currently using my rooted Kindle Fire with CM11. I also must say that this has only been used on my Kindle Fire HD 8.9, and I haven't tried it with the 7in variant, and I teccomend that you do not try it either. Also, I am not responsible in any way if you brick your device of mess it up any way otherwise. You must follow this procedure completely, no skipping anything at all. Let's begin.

1. Enable the function to install apps from unknown sources

2. Enable ADB debugging

3. Download Aptoide, install, and open

4. Search for vRoot, download, install, and open it

5. If an ad pops up, close it. There should be a green button that says "download apk". Note that this does not appear without ADB debugging enabled. Download the app and install it. This will grant you superuser access. However, you still don't have TWRP.

6. Open Aptoide, download and install supersu and supersu pro

7. To get TWRP, I used seokhun's guide here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2277105, while skipping step 1

This method works as of August 02, 2014, 22:00. If you have any questions just ask.

[Galaxy Tab S General] stronggeek:
Probably known by many, but this one's new to me. I was watching a google play movie on my 10.5 while riding the elliptical a couple days ago and I

swept (to the left) a spec of dust off my screen and the movie rewound 10 seconds and then continued play. I found out that I could fast forward or

reverse the movie by sweeping my finger across the screen either direction while it's playing. I honestly was not aware if this feature and now find it

very convenient (especially if I'm interrupted).

Furthermore, my fiancee is unable to duplicate this on her xperia tab. So I"m not certain if this is possible with most devices or if it's unique to kitkat

or what.

P.S. Do we have Tab S "Tips & Tricks" thread here? If so, I'll delete this and repost if it's not already mentioned.
[Galaxy Tab S General] killall:
MX Player does the same on any device so I don't think it's this tab.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Freakstyler:
In addition to the RR/FF, Most video players will change the brightness if you swipe up/down on the left hand side, and change the volume by swiping up/down on the right hand side

Unfortunately Google themselves haven't added those bits to Play Movies, or YouTube but MX Player, VLC etc all tend to work that way.
[Galaxy Tab S General] stronggeek:
You're definitely right about it not being exclusive to the tab s, but I find it interesting that you can't use this feature with google play movie on the xperia tablet.
[Galaxy Tab S General] kenkiller:
You'll have better luck in the xperia's forum then. :D

Hello!

Wifi and Bluetooth aren't working anymore When you try turning them on, them just turn off immediately. It has been going on after KitKat 4.4.3 update.

and the solution for this would be replace the WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin in the Persist folder. As my phone is not rooted, it seens impossible I had accidently deleted this file, right? Anyway, the Persist folder of my phone is empty. It's because my phone is not rooted so it doesn't show the files inside the folder? At the wlan/prima, there are the following files:

WCNSS_cfg.dat

WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini

WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin (that's the file, right?)

WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv_calibration.bin

WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv_regulatory.bin

Is there some possible solution or I really need to send my phone to technical support?

[Moto X Q&A] aviwdoowks:
There is no way to prove that persist is vacant as you are unrooted. It is most likely a coinsident hardware failure. But still possible.

Go warranty replacement. Rsd restore is no help as persist is not in the XML.
[Moto X Q&A] rafaelrossignoli:
For first, thank you for your concern.

I see. It's a poor situation we have been seeing with others Moto X owners, especially after 4.4.3 update. Considering it's not a hardware issue and 4.4.4 update release (my phone is still in 4.4.3), is the 4.4.4 update worth it? I have been reading about increasing battery consumption after 4.4.4 update. I also have read about restoring the stock rom could be a worth try, even if your phone has never been rooted. What you say?
