[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NSDroider:
Hi all, sorry if this has been asked before but I cant find an answer. I've figured out how this works if i add and use the Swype keybd. Seems to work as expected but if i want to use the Samsung keybd it doesn't work. Meaning if Samsung is my default keybd no words ever get added to the dictionary. Seems like the settings in Language and Input for Samsung keybd are different from Swype. And i dont see a section in the Samsung keybd for my words or a dictionary. I'm more a conventional typing person so Swype isnt really for me and I like the Samsung keybd more. Appreciate if anyone can guide me to a resolution. All i really want to do is have words like "hv", "cld", "shld" recognized when i type and not always predict something other than that. Unless of course it expanded the words to "have", "could", "should". A bit more info: If I look in language and input I have the samsung keybd as grayed out and checked on and below that the swype keybd as checked on and available to change. Thanks in advance.

I want to buy a smartwatch to get a fast access to text message, music, some running apps, and I want a camera on it what is can take photos, and either save it to my Ultra or on micro card. Can you guys recommend something under $100?

I saw on ebay few interesting models like : TW530, U8, Z13, IK8 .....

Any of you using a "no name" brand china made smartwatch, and any recommendation?

Well. There is this one but there is no camera http://www.sonymobile.com/us/products/accessories/smartwatch-2-sw2/ but its water proof
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Zuk.:
I have a Pebble. I started loving it even more when I got my giant phone. It gets all the notifications I want, I can easily see it outside and I only have to charge it once a week so it works well for me.

If you want something more full featured at a budget (except for the camera part) I would look into a LG G Watch on Craigslist or eBay. I've been seeing them from $90-125. Everybody's ditching them for the Moto 360.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jetstreamblue:
I have a Pebble and a Samsung Gear Fit. The Gear Fit is a bit crippled in functionality because I don't have a Samsung phone, but I picked it up for $80 and can't complain. I still like the Pebble better, just plain simply works. Of course, neither option mentioned has the camera you want.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] golfinggino:
I use the original galaxy gear works great with my ultra
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] speculatrix:
The pebble watch seems to be the most practical watch in terms of battery life and display readability. It's also got a mature eco system. People i know who have them say they just work. They're not super fancy with color displays and dozens of toy apps.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] overlode:
Ok, I am completely flummoxed. I have a Kindle Fire HD 2013 7" that is stuck in fastboot mode. Whether the factory cable is plugged in or not, it still goes to fastboot when turned on, Changing the bootmode via fastboot does not affect it. Heres the interesting part-

An lsusb in Ubuntu lists it as an Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8.9", it definitely isn't.

getvar product lists it as a "Bowser-Dummy-00" - I have no idea what this is although the motherboard says "Soho" on it when opened up

Trying to flash boot, bootloader, recovery, system etc etc via fastboot gives a "partition doesn't exist" error.

Trying the flashall command on fastboot informs me that the update file I have is for Soho but my product is this damn Bowser-Dummy-00

I have tried eMMC access but get nothing from that, Ubuntu does not even register it is connected.

When connected normally in fastboot mode I am informed that the MTP device could not be accessed.

I have been trying for hours to try and sort this out and find something on the "Bowser-Dummy" thing but I am coming up a blank :(

Any help would be so appreciated, I cannot seem to find any update file that is suitable for this product
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] r3pwn:
Did you purchase the product like this? If so, it seems you got an engineering unit...
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] overlode:
Bought it off of eBay as a "boot loop" problem.

I have never seen this name of board before
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] r3pwn:
The Kindle Fire HDs use a "Bowser" platform (unique to Amazon only, I believe) and the original Fires use a "Blaze" platform (Again, unique to Amazon, I believe). Yeah, looks like you definitely got an engineering device, unless production models use a "dummy" platform (very weird if they did.) Considering it's not even flashing the updates and giving it's the errors makes it even weirder... Too bad [MENTION=4243514]Hashcode[/MENTION] went to work at Linaro. He may have found this interesting.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] overlode:
Yeah I know :( was gutted when I found out.

The closest I have gotten to getting it to work was trying to flash a full dd I did of a working Soho model but it reports that the image is too big. I have messaged stunts about it as he was working on a sparse system file.

The fact that all the partitions are missing is a bit strange and that in Ubuntu an "lsusb" command lists it as a Kindle Fire HD 8.9". I suspect someone else before me has tried flashing it with incorrect software and partly bricked the device.

I tried to flash an official update I downloaded from Amazon but it reports that amazon-info.txt is missing from the archive. I put the file in the same folder I was trying to flash from and it attempted to write but then reported that the update is for a "Soho" not this stupid Bowser model.

I am at a loss for what to do with it, I have tried pretty much everything, the "unable to access MTP device" error in Ubuntu is also weird.

I even soldered a card reader to the eMMC, something I have done many times before but not even that is recognised.

I also tried fastbooting into an unsupported TWRP file, risky I know but due to the fact that I was not flashing it, it should be safe to do. But alas it always returns to the fastboot screen after the grey "Kindle Fire" splash screen.

For the minute I will keep playing with it but I doubt I will find an easy solution unless I can get hold of a "Bowser" official update
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] r3pwn:
You could try modifying the amazon-info.txt file and change all instances of "Soho" to Bowser-Dummy-00.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] overlode:
I will just try and explain a little better what I have done so far as I think I have got myself a little confused.

I cant seem to find a file in any amazon archive named amazon-info.txt.

I tried updating using fastboot -i 0x1949 update update.zip - this returned the error of -

"archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'

archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'

error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt"

I then just created a new text file using notepad and simply entered "board=Bowser-Dummy-00" and saved it into the directory where my files were and where I was running fastboot. Unfortunately I still get the same message

I then tried again with fastboot -i 0x1949 update update.zip and I still get the same error

I then tried fastboot -i 0x1949 flashall and this returns an error of -

"error: neither -p product specified nor ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT set"

I then tried fastboot -i 0x1949 -p Bowser-Dummy-00 flashall and I get -

"error: could not load android-info.txt: No error"

I have tried set ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT=C:\Users\Kev\Desktop\Kindle Fire HD 7 SOHO but still it returns the same error.

I am running out of ideas...

Edit - I tried running fastboot -i 0x1949 flashall again and now it gives this -

"Bootloader Version...:

So it seems that your partitions are completely messed up. I don't think there is any way to fix that, but I'll look into it and keep you posted.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] overlode:
I would appreciate that, personally I think this is a lost cause and only Amazon would be able to sort it out. My experience of linux is not enough to give me a chance of getting round the mounting as MTP device problem either :(
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] SafinWasi:
Hey man. What's up here? Seems that the dude has another board entirely.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] r3pwn:
Mounting as MTP in fastboot isn't possible on any device AFAIK.

Actually, to me, it looks like he got an engineering unit, but can't flash any images because, well, Bowser-Dummy-00 != Soho.

And the partitioning seems to be messed up. If we somehow magically fix the partitions, he might be able to get it up and running, but it's doubtful.

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 PM ----------

When you get the chance, try running

fastboot oem ?

and tell me what the output is. If it's more convenient for you, we could have this conversation via Hangouts or some other quick messaging service...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ChampionLukeGabriel:
Ok... I'm a complete noob (saibot) when it comes to recoveries. I've been used to rooting for years but never wanted anything other than the stock rom/recovery until recently when I had to unbrick my phone after making a stupid error. Now, I want to gain acceptance into the CWM world and for some reason it isn't working.

What I've tried:

1) Downloading the recovery from the CWM official website. I downloaded the touch one.

2) Since the file was in img form (why?) I used a converter to change it into TarMD5

3) I tried flashing it with Odin 3.09

4) It showed a green "Reboot" where most have shown "Recovery" in the videos I watched before attempting.

5) And that's all it did was reboot instead of installing the custom recovery.

What did I do wrong? And why am I not as awesome as I think I am? Help! :crying::D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Misterjunky:
What you did wrong was using or trying to flash/use CWM recovery in the first place.

Here is the correct way to flash root and custom recovery:

Step #1

Download and Odin flash cf-autoroot: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45687485/CF-Auto-Root-hltetmo-hltetmo-smn900t.tar.md5

Step #2

Download and Odin flash TWRP 2.7.2.0: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45687485/TWRP_2720.tar

After doing the above you will no longer have any root or recovery issues.

For best results use Odin v1.85 which can be found here:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45687485/Odin85.zip

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ChampionLukeGabriel:
Thank you for your reply.... So, am I to understand that CWM will not work at all on my Note 3?

Before your reply, I tried out TWRP 2.8 and it was really laggy... Should I go and get 2.7.2 instead?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Misterjunky:
re: twrp/cwm

Lot's of people have been having issues with cwm recovery ever since

the NF1 official Samsung N900T firmware was released.

TWRP 2.7.2.0 works perfectly on all N900T Note 3 roms.

The download link I posted is specifically made for the

Note 3 N900T, not all versions of twrp work properly with

all phones and or all models.

Good luck!
[General Questions and Answers] juanm_la22:
Hi guys, i am stuck on this and i need some help.

The thing is that i bought a replacement for the broken digitizer of my wife's LG L9 P778G (an Argentinian variant of the P768 which has kernel version 3.0.31 on JB 4.1.2). The problem is with the digitalizer chip, the original was a Synaptics S3203, and the replacement is built-in with a Synaptics T1021A... causing an annoying issue with the touchscreen: she can't press and hold... and believe, you don't want a wife who can not press and hold the touchscreen of her phone for arranging her desktop's icons!

The kernel is compiled with support for the original digitalizer (touch_synaptics_s3000.c) and i think synaptics_i2c_rmi4.c module is the driver for the t1021a.

Ok, this is what i tried:

- Download stock kernel and compile with ndk the kernel modules and then "insmod them" in the phone. Result: unrecognized symbols ... i really dont know how to add the missing kernel symbols to the kernel source.

- Configuring the touchscreen changing the idc file for touch_dev but nothing happens.

What can I do? I can't understand why a manufacturer can assemble something with a non-compatible chipset.... China's rules!

JM

With TWRP recovery you can queue up to 10 files for flashing.

Not that much work to do but you have to update the ROM manually.

just delete the boot.img file from zip before flashing

hello guys its been some time i've been trying to download apps from play store that are 3-4 or more mb and i always get an error saying that there is insufficient space on the devide

i have tried to clear the cache from recovery mode but the problem remains.

i checked the partition mounts with the app partition table and i cant understand why i get this error...

storage/emulated/0 and /data has about 500mb free

/system has arround 200mb free

here are some screenshots of the partition mounts of my device

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madura:
If you are rooted, you can try the FolderMount app. Worked for me by freeing up space on the emulated SD.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimacid:
from what i see this app is used to transfer app files to the sd card and while it may help a little (since i really dont have games and huge apps on my phone) eventually after a few months i will still have the same problem since all the apps are constantly getting bigger in mb and i will continue to install new apps.

what i am trying to find is the reason the phone reports it has no space since from what i can see it does have plenty of space left.

by the way i did tried to install the app you recommended but guess what?

there is no available free space on the device :p
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kabloomz:
I'm having the same problem at the moment. Short of installing a custom rom and getting rid of TouchWiz altogether, I hope someone figured something out.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimacid:
I found out that if I unmount my sd card the phone was able again to install big apps and that made me think that maybe there are some corrupted files in my sd card, so I installed the APP sd maid from the market I cleared the dead files and cleared the system and since then the problem has been fixed.

Just make sure that in order to clean dalvic cache too you need to enter the settings and allow the app to delete unwanted odex,obex files
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janla:
I had the same issue. Format SD/factory reset did not help in my case.

I hope "insufficient space" has gone from your device, nevertheless I suggest you to instal and run the FolderMount app anyway. When I ran it for the first time, it detected problem with writing on (fresh formatted) SD by non system apps and prompted for fixing it (I let). Since that i have no more problem with installing new apps.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimacid:
well as i wrote earlier it stopped showing me the insufficient space for a few days but then it came back...

i was pretty pissed and started deleting some apps to see if for real there is no free space, the same time you wrote this message, i saw it and installed foldermount app right away.

it really did find a corrupted file and a rule that prohibited acceess to sd card, i let it fix those both errors and after that till now i am able to install and updates apps without a problem.

not really sure if the problem was fixed because i deleted apps or from the foldermount app but its ok now. (i think foldermount worked its magic because i have done several big updates so i dont think that the fact i deleted some apps helped resolve this issue)

anyway. thanks a lot for your answer
