[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThePraeceps:
Hey guys. My phone slipped out my pocket and the digitizer is broken. My phone is rooted, the boot loader is unlocked, and I have it recognised as an ADB Recovery device. I want to enable USB Debugging so I can use androidscreencast to use my phone over my PC so I can set it up to push notifications to my computer and to my pebble(smart watch).

How can I do this. Most of the threads I have found just flat out don't work or stop because of some sort of restriction due to the phone being still locked.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
It looks like you need to run some commands in a terminal emulator on your phone. Which in your case is going to be impossible. Why don't you just use adb pull to pull the data off your sdcard?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThePraeceps:
Don't need any of the stuff - I could just boot in and take it over USB. All I need is to enable USB Debugging to send touch commands in place of my touch screen. Once I have that my pebble can let me use my phone outside of the house and I can send notifications to my PC too.

I have installed XBMC and SPMC in my AFTV and I have been playing with both, I really don't find a lot of differences, only that SPMC is a little bit tweaked to autoboot and maybe other changes that I haven't noticed.

I believe that SPMC is more optimized to work more estable on our Fire TV than XBMC am I right or wrong?,

Any other benefits to use XBMC instead of SPMC in our device?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] collindv:
I recently switched from XBMC to SPMC to fix a fast forwarding bug as well as a sleeping bug. Haven't noticed any difference other than those two annoyances are fixed. Plus I installed it from the play store so I can auto update in that manner now rather than manually pushing it.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp201:
I have installed the 12.4 spmc dated april 11th 2014 version first outlined in the xbmc firetv wiki which was for the ouya. If you go to system and system info, it reads 90-100 fps where future versions of spmc and all versions of xbmc are at about 30fps with the same 1920x1080 resolution. Not sure if there is a real world difference but just something I noticed.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] collindv:
I scanned through the wiki but I'm not sure what you are referring to. Is using one of elmerohueso's XBMC Tweaks for FTV keyboard.xml files.

The problem I was having is that I could not skip forward in videos. It would try and jump forward but then resume playing at the same spot. The counter would also not work correctly. Then if I tried to skip backwards it would always go to the same spot. Kind of hard to explain.

Spmc is a mess!! Does not work with aftv! Does not update addons and does not let you delete scripts, using kodi now!! Works with pseudo
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruce7373:
Kodi is stable enough?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastafunk:
to fix the skip bug, simply disable mediacodec in the video acceleration menu, then fully reboot the box. It is caused by a bug in the mediacodec implementation on firetv. Leave stagefright enabled.

In the latest version of the kodi alpahas, mediacodec appears to be working fine on the firetv.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ipse_Tase:
Huh? I suppose the comment was made by your evil phone and not by you :)

I have SPMC 13.3.2 working perfectly on AFTV...not sure what your problems are. Addons get updated and everything else works. Koyig is one of the original contributors to XBMC for Android/Ouya...been using SPMC for more than a year now.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CLran619:
totally agree spmc is solid.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navigates:
I too switched to spmc last night. Kodi wouldn't play .ts files properly. Would stutter after a while. SPMC does that well and has the suspend benefits. So far no real issues noticed.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navigates:
I just tried disabling mediacodec and it seems that the skip bug has gone too. Is mediacodec important? I don't see any difference. At the moment, SPMC is really the most stable platform I've seen. It can play .ts all the mkv's I have properly. Unless I find a content that does not work, I'll stick on. no need to fix what is not broken.

I installed the latest spmc using the push method but would like to be able to auto update int he future is there a way to do this without uninstalling then reinstalling from the play store? I am rooted etc.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navigates:
I rather not have it auto update. The latest version of kodi which is 13.3.3 has the .ts file playback issue as is the case with Gotham. Surprisingly, the 13.3.2 version has it working just fine.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danknasty:
Oh I've been using the 13.3.3 version but to install a different version of spmc can I just push the new one and it will overwrite or how can this be done. If rather not start from scratch as I have a lot of stuff loaded already and I am also having some stability issues with spmc on this version.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navigates:
Interesting. I had the exact same issue as I too had upgraded to SPMC 13.3.3 and wanted to move back. You cannot downgrade. The best way to do this is to do a backup of spmc using adbfire. Note: you can change the xbmc variant in the settings. I believe it is spmc.semprax.com (check the spelling). If you still want the exact name, let me know and I'll give it to you once I reach home.

Uninstall SPMC. and reinstall the 13.3.2 version. After clean install, do the SPMC restore and there you have it. 13.3.2 with all your settings entact.

hope this helps.

I'm using spmc 13.3.3 and works without any problems , but I had to use xbmc backup ,as adbfire wouldnt back it up, pressing kodi backup gives error that kodi is not installed
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navigates:
adbfire works just fine with spmc. You have to change the xbmc variant to spmc.semperpax.com

Have you tried .ts files with 13.3.3. I cannot get 13.3.3 to work properly with .ts files. 13.3.2 works just fine.

yes did that. still no go
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navigates:
The only time I saw that message when I was when I was trying to restore my backup on a friends xbmc and my preferences was pointed to spmc. What OS are you using? Try re-installing it. I'm in windows 8.1 and never had any issues with adbfire.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sc0rp10:
I'm on Windows 7

EDIT: deleted com.semperpax.spmc from preferences and put it there again. now it works. thanks for the help
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danknasty:
Your method worked however to both backup and then restore took about an hour plus each way. Is this normal to take this long?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navigates:
Either you have an extensive library of xbmc. What is the size of your xbmc on your firetv. you can see it in settings. Mine is about 330 mb totally. My backup restore takes on total of about 20 minutes at tops. I'm on a wired connection.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danknasty:
Yea my thumbnails folder is over 700 Megs. If I empty this folder will it automatically redownload the content once I update my library. That process seems to be faster.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navigates:
two suggestions. Do you really need thumbnails.? I suggest uncheck the store thumbnail suggestions and delete your library and recreate them.

Second, download SD Maid pro from google play (hope your rooted) and purchase that app. its 2.49 and do a cleanup. you will recover lots of valuable space on your device.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danknasty:
I use a skin that looks really good with the use of movie art stuff. If I do not store thumbnails on the device will it still load them from online?

Don't find a solution for this problem .....

Try to flash your B510 custom and flash with adb the B510 stock recovery in the second post here > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2709353 .

Because if you flash TWRP (for KK) then a stock recovery B118 (for JB) it's normal it's don't work. And if I don't say something wrong B118 is a chinese version.

Hi,

The power button is broken on my Acer A501.

For 1 year I kept it going without rebooting. Plugin it to the wall would turn it on from deep sleep.

Now just messed up unplugging a usb thumb drive and the tablet frozen and discharged completely.

I can't find a way to force it to boot anymore.

Is the a way force it to boot without using the power button?

Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks,

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Hey Francois, the answer is no unfortunately. However, several people in the past have had the same issue, and basically they take the case apart and glue the PWR button back on. Should be some old threads in the Q & A which cover what they did to repair it.

Seems these tablets are starting to fall apart this year. Mine just hard bricked for it's final time last night. None of our good tools can get it back, and I'm one of the "BrickMasters" :laugh::laugh:

If you were in Moscow, I would just let you change your mainboard, into my case (PWR button works)
[Acer Iconia A500] francoisr:
Thank you Moscow Desire.

I don't have the pleasure to know Moscow yet, unfortunately.

I'm aware of the the button repair with glue or soldering, which is beyond my technical abilities. I do software, not hardware... I know I could get it repaired for $50 in USA, plus shipping, but that approaches the cost of a replacement tablet as prices have lowered a lot. The A501 was a great, awesome product 3 years ago, but its age starts to show...

Before sending for repair or thrashing it, I wanted confirmation it can't be jump started... Your answer confirms it is not possible.

I'll check with some more technically inclined friends to see if the can fix it.

Thanks,

Francois
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Yeah, pretty much they just aren't worth the cost of repair. Heck, I think you can buy a working one for about $50 bucks anyhow.

But the glue method is pretty easy I think, if I remember right.

Thankd for the manual. I might give it a try, with some help.

Do anyone know if it could be booted up using a docking station? http://www.acer.ae/ac/en/AE/content/model/LC.DCK0A.001. I see a Power button on the remote control. Or directly via the dock pins, maybe shorting some?

ANY ideas would be appreciated.

So I tried to return to the original build.prop file as i had a backup of it. I had changed it so i could have s5 status bar.

So i replaced modified one with the original backed up file. Then rebooted.

But gets stuck/black screen after samsung initial boot anim.

Device is rooted with stock firmware and stock recovery.

Tried using latest adb to pull and push build.brop files or change permissions but device shows as "unauthorized" and there is no way to authorize it as i can't get past samsung s4 logo.

i CAN enter download and recovery modes. So i could flash stock firmware with ODIN but not certain it would fix build.prop issue. and download could take hours from samsung updates page.

i could try flashing custom recovery but not certain if this would help in any way.

Any adb command shows error: unauthorized device.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
1. You can either reflash the rom you are on.

or

2. Flash a custom recovery. Then flash Aroma Filemanager from within the recovery. It will open a filemanager and you will be able to restore the backup you made.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TiVON:
Whenever I get a new Android device or one of my family members does, I always(if possible of course) unlock the bootloader, install a custom recovery and root the phone. When you do it, right after you bought it, there isn't any chance that you lose data. Plus, it's super easy.

Just my take on this.

Custom ROMs are of course a possibility, but most of the time I test a whole bunch and choose my favorite.

Current setup is Multirom with SlimKat and crDroid. It's amazing!

First thing you should do (after charging to 100%) is unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, and make a backup of the stock ROM. Do that before you even switch it on.
