All my photos and videos get backed up with google photos. In my storage it says its taking up 9gb. So I can go to my Gallery app and delete my photos and videos, but they will all still be in my Google photos account correct? I'm running low on storage, it would be nice to free up 9 gigs. Thx
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wh1t3Rose:
Yes they will remain backed up to google photos. Make sure they are Really backed up first. I just deleted mine from my Nex5 and they are all backed up.

I just followed the steps provided here http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1973017

But while rooting the cmd prompt just kept saying..."waiting for device"

I just closed it and tried to redo the process but none of the software is identifying my phone. My neo L just blinks with the red led but I can see the "portable device" icon in my computer.

But Initially I had made it to MSC and usb debugging ...Now can I get back my phone to normal

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tej XFire:
Hi Friends. I'm new to XDA Developers community...

I have the One M8.

A big drop of oil spilled onto the top speaker of my M8.

However, I removed(pushed) it with my finger. After wiping with a cloth, some(few) of the holes were blocked. I used a straw to suck the oil up. Now it looks clean.

I'm worried that when I removed the oil initially with my finger, some oil might have gone underneath the speaker grill all the way upto the speaker filter.

Will it stick to the speaker filter ? If it sticks to the filter, what do I do ?

Please feel free to answer my question. Any suggestions, answers are most welcome.

Hello guys im almost at the point to throw this phone out of the window i cant believe it so hard to get kitkat on it.

First my country does not have OTA update ready.

I do not have sd card , and will not buy one to update a phone , i have no use for it.

Anybody help me to get official kitkat on , without buying a sd card ?

Seems the normal method needs a sd card.

Regards
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] blueIBI:
not that really..

you can put the update on the internal storage and make the update..

but..if you have no use for a sdcard..why do you want KK??

one of the best things in KK is to outsource apps onto it to keep the internal storage free of that..
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] hereticangel:
how do i make the update?

I need to test apps etc , otherwise i need to go grab sd card tomorrow.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] hereticangel:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2781977

will try seems it will work

meh also needs a sd card

I have found a sd card in a old phone let me try this again
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] blueIBI:
what Version do you have actually?

the way is most time the same..

you geht an official b***.ZIP

you unzip it and put the dload folder with its content on the root directory of your sdcard / onto your internal storage (where DCIM and this stuff is)..inside the dload folder is usually only the update.app..

then you can make a local update (when you have a stock recovery) or you use the force update method (power,vol + & vol - alltogether until you see the Android figure - this can take more than 15 seconds -don't panic if it takes a little more time) (also with stock recovery)..

one official update (the b513 repack) is a hacky one by oxalis and surdu_Petru..this is able to be flashen by twrp (no need for unzip -just renaming to update.ZIP and put in dload folder)..

thats just a short review..for more information read the threads..
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] hereticangel:
going to apply the b132 now which is just one file but the b510 seems to have quite allot of files with the update.app

grabbing b512 so long

When I want to play a 576p (16:10 anamorphic) PAL file, I get these blocks on my device.

i.imgur.com/zFFauHW.jpg

Sound is fine. If I switch to S/W it hiccups but without the blocks. I can't use the H/W decoder because it's on my NAS. When I download this file onto my device, it plays fine in H/W mode, in VLC and in my stock player. I have multiple files like this, but all have blocks. PC plays it fine. I don't get these blocks when I try to play files with an 572p anamorphic PAL setting. I've tried tweaking my Handbrake settings, but I get these blocks every time, only in MX.

I'm using the latest MX Player and custom codec on a Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 with Android 2.3.6

Thanks
[MX Player] nioe:
The original files are about 800-1000 MB, so here is a 50,7 MB (68 seconds) sample. Same problem happens

firedrive.com/file/C659AD744B8801DC
[MX Player] bleu8888:
Are you using stock ROM? I've tested your video in my Galaxy S which has Hummingbird platform and running Android 2.3.6 just like yours.

But cannot reproduce this issue. I will try again if I have a chance to try Galaxy Tab. For the meantime, please use HW decoder instead.

BTW, custom codec may not compatible with test version (beta version). Does it happen even with default codec?

Thanks.
[MX Player] nioe:
The original ROM when I bought it had Android 2.2, but I updated it via Samsung Kies to 2.3.6. With the original ROM, H/W+ videos were impossible to play.

I have no idea what you mean with beta version, but I've tried it with and without the custom codec. Same result, even when removing the one(s) downloaded from the Play store
[MX Player] bleu8888:
Does it happen with old versions too?

Here is 1.7.28: https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/download/backup/1-7-28

And 1.7.27: https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/download/backup/1-7-27

I've tried a few, but the blocks still appear.

About a year ago I had a similar video that displayed that problem but I didn't think to report it at the time. Also a PAL anamorphic widescreen video
[MX Player] CDB-Man:
So, there's no blocking with HW mode when the files is stored on device?

Also curious, does HW+ work or does it block?

bleu, think it might be to do with the 25.000 fps? This is just a guess on my part.
[MX Player] nioe:
There is no blocking in HW mode. I cant test it when not stored on my device because HW only works with mp4

H/W+ only blocks with these videos on my NAS, external sd and internal storage

I have other 25 fps videos that play just fine, same handbrake settings
[MX Player] nioe:
After encoding all my files, I found one file that didn't block like the others. It uses the same handbrake settings except for a extra 2 pixel crop on the right side (36 instead of 34)

Also I noticed something missing that does occur in every blocking file: the Original display aspect ratio is missing in this one. Might that be the reason of the blocking?

Getting ready to use sunshine for the first time. I havc not rooted a device in a few years so sorry for the lame quesitons

1. If i use sunshine for S-on will this also take care of the visual that the bootloader has been unlocked at some point?

2. Before installing a new ROM (custom) I just make a full back up of my current totally Stock ROM? If I choose to go back

thanks for the help.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] S1L3nTShaDoWz:

Yeah I used it too on my second M8, my first one I used Firewater but had trouble using it on my second one cause I couldn't get root. Probably would've worked but I didn't want to take the time to troubleshoot with root. My friend had the same problem when I helped him obtain S-OFF with Firewater and we got it working, sadly couldn't remember how we did it so I gave up with mine.

Hi I am new to this forum and I have a question what if the phone was in recovery mode, when battery got drained so the flash stick got damaged due to no emergency power so can it be repaired now?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsw5775:
I believe in recovery mode, it does not hurt. You can still re-flash again.

As long as you are not doing something to corrupt hboot, you always have chance to re-flash again.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
It depends on what processes were running when it lost power. Charge the phone fully, then try to boot into recovery. Once in recovery, try to flash your file. As a general rule, you should not flash unless you have at least 40% battery but the more battery the better.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] DaleReeck:
I began to notice that for no apparent reason, my Cingular 8525 gets warm once in a while (not all the time). But no wifi is on and phone signal is strong, so no searching for towers. I also don't have any software that auto downloads anything. Something is making the processor work to heat the thing up. All the software I have installed is software I've used before and had no issues in the past on other devices including an 8525 sister, the Sprint 6700. I haven't had a chance to try a hard reset and a clean device. But a soft reset does cool things down

But I noticed a few posts about people with TyTn's and other Hermes 200 devices having a similar problem though there hasn't been too much discussion on it. Is anyone else noticing this?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gravejoker:
Typically the phone gets heated up because there's an app running that's processor intensive ... could be as simple as UMTS or too many open connections ... Soft reset cooling things down strongly indicates that ..

You can try using a TaskMgr to find this rogue app ...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] DaleReeck:
I ws going to try a task/process manager app. I also do not live in a UTMS area yet, just EDGE. But I looked through Startup folder and the registry. I don't see anything that should be running in the background. The only real suspicious thing is the new Voice Command v1.6. When it got warm once, I disabled Voice Command (without rebooting) and the phone cooled off immediately. But a second time I tried it, the phone stayed warm, no difference. Hmmmm...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gadgetluva:
my 8525 gets really warm when I stream TV.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] DaleReeck:
I imagine it will get warm when you do heavy data transfer, like streaming. I tried revisiting the Microsoft Voice Dial thing. Again, it cooled down after deactivating VC and its still cool. Come to think about it, the second time I tried and it didn't seem to cool down, actually it did, just not as much as the first and third times. I have to keep watching it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magician_rd:
Hi,

I have recently put up a password lock on my HTC One to avoid my kids going on my phone due to the fact I had important phone calls coming.

I have forgotten the password for the device and I have tried over 40 times literally as the phone shows me a message with how many times I tried.

I have the gmail and password of the google account which is registered to this device but it does not give me an option to recover phone from my google account even though I have tried over 40 times. Is there a way where I could get into my phone as I do not want to lose my important settings and etc. on my phone.

I am not sure why it does not let me recover my phone using my Google Account as my other phones do.
