[General Questions and Answers] RedScotch:
While there is a less than useful thread for a similar model, Matricom Quantum, there are apparently significant differences to warrant a unique thread if not section.

Matricom shipped tablets with the prior android version, 4.2.2, already root with su and SuperUser.apk installed. Newer batches although not changing the amazon descriptors shipped with "upgraded" android 4.4.2 but no longer root from factory :( For those [many] users who do not have a windows license [and who are not members of the eye patch crowd] seem to have no root recourse. Those with windows are advised by the manufacturer [through interaction via amazon fba] to install kingo which is the adware flavor of malware.

Please help us root Matricom Iota [without windows]: OSX 10.9.4+ Or Ubuntu 14 LTS

16 gig NAND

1 gig RAM ddr3

Quadcore A31S 1.5+ GHz

PowerVR (not mail400 as indicated elsewhere)

IPS screen 1280x800 (over 4 devices each has had at least one hot-pixel)

twelve dozen dollars USD

10-touch capacitance

6000 maH

The product page is a bit out of sync as it suggests flashing firmware for their xbmc STB. Both their internal support forums- and obscured ticket system were of no help on this topic.

web: matricom.net/gtabiota/

Towel root: fails auto, fails in 56 manual permutations.

There are too many nuanced differences from the reference design to use Onda firmware on matricom. (it does change bootlogo, does add su, busybox and SuperUser.apk but unable to mount /system as RW leaving it seemingly root albeit non-functionally)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gold_Diesel:
Reading a couple of articles it seems increasingly likely that Android L will be releasing with Linux Kernel 3.10. Android Wear devices run it and Google have put the source up on their pages. Kernel 3.10 is tickless so battery life should increase by a noticeable amount.

My question is, is it likely that HTC will update the kernel to 3.10 when they update the HTC One m8 to Android L? This is my first HTC so I don't know how they handle updates and before you ask, Google have uploaded defconfigs of the chipset in this phone so it can work.

And if HTC aren't willing to update the kernel, how difficult would it be to port the kernel over from AOSP and sources of other S801 devices to the m8?

I'm not a dev and I don't know the exact ins and outs of this sort of process so any explanation would be very nice. Call me a moron if you want, but you will need to explain why. Thanks for any help.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tej XFire:
If Android L has the linux kernel 3.10 when released, HTC needs to modify the kernel for it to work with the M8. Probably you get the same kernel version which would be modified by HTC. Anyways, why are you worried ? If android L releases sometime next month, you'll have it after 3 months of the release by Google. !

My voice mail isn't working, it just keeps trying to load. Anybody have any ideas?
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raj.parekh07:
Recently I flashed AOSP which was been leaked on Chinese Forums.

I had flashed the latest version of it i.e. xx.xx.18.

It was smooth , no random reboots , no sensor issues nothing.

But yesterday I found that sometimes during call I can not hear any type of voice from the speaker and also the person at other end cannot listen me.

This was strange.

But when I did reboot it solved the problem.

this problem comes at anytime.

To fix it I must reboot . And that's very very tedious.

Are any solutions available for it? Is it only me that facing such issue ?
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RazaVakil7995:
Though this is not a permanent solution, but a quicker way around is to install xposed installer and try to soft reboot everytime you face it to get done with it quicker. Try reporting the bug to the dev and check the forum thread for any other solutions.

[Moto 360] matthewf01:
There's been some discussion about this buried in other threads, but today I received my Moto 360 which I'd ordered from Motorola.com on 9/16, and I can confirm that the band is the third, newer color, which Motorola had said would take the place of the gray leather.

I'd previously seen both a gray and a black strap on the Best Buy display units, so off the bat visually I can tell this is the new color. Additionally, and interestingly, the underside of the packaging has a [hastily torn off the thermal printer] sticker, which is laid OVER another sticker underneath, and it's quite clear the original sticker said "GREY LEATHER" and the new sticker says "STONE LEATHER".

I'd describe the color of the band as kind of a purplish gray actually. I definitely prefer the original gray if I had a choice, but this'll do until it gets replaced.

[Moto 360] The_other_ray:
I got mine yesterday and it's with the new color. I just thought the gray just looked different in the pictures but I didn't realize that they actually changed it. My wife noticed the purplish tint to it. Thanks for explaining.

[Moto 360] woedee:
Does it have a suede finish like the grey band does? I didnt realize that Moto was selling the 'new' color; I actually like the grey band better.
[Moto 360] matthewf01:
Not suede, its a fairly smooth grain on top. The inside has a very slight softness, like suede, to it. I felt like the gray band felt softer to me, but could be because it was handled to death at best buy... It was very worn in.
[Moto 360] woedee:
Yes, the grey band is soft & has a suede finish to it. Since I returned my grey moto 360 to BB due to it malfunctioning, I ordered a 'replacement' from Moto on 9/16 but thought I was ordering the same band. Sucks. Time to see if I can find one to buy.
[Moto 360] matthewf01:
Fossil has a couple of great looking 22mm leather bands for under $25 with free return shipping if it doesn't fit or you don't like it, so I'll probably get a sturdier band anyway.
[Moto 360] arbalet42:
Could you please confirm me that the the Model ID for the Stone Leather Moto360 is 00583NARTL? It's written on the sticker you mention, on the back of the box.

The question is due because on my local forum no one would believe me that there are three variants of Moto360 currently being sold. None of the Youtube reviewers seem to be aware of this as well. But the funniest stuff is that when on Motorola's site you select the Stone leather Moto360 you get the wrong picture of the watch (with a dark gray band). Three days ago I contacted Motorola's help chat to mention this and to suggest they change the image back to the one they used a week ago, but the guy at the help desk (named Aaron) didn't know which watch Motorola was selling and told me "we will verify the site". Three days have pased, the wrong picture is still there...

Anyways, for those of you who want to see the difference between the three straps, please find below the images with all three Moto360's available today.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CKR83:
I'm pretty new to the Android phones. I bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 tablet about a year ago, and I absolutely love it -- which was the only reason why I considered an Android phone when it came time to upgrade. That might have been a mistake.

The phone I chose was a Galaxy S5 from AT&T.

For many reasons I won't go into (and that many of you probably know) Kitkat is awful. Removing SD card access removed one of the most important reasons that I bought the phone. So, I decided to root the thing.

I read a bunch of info on how to root, and, eventually downloaded and tried to use towelroot only to discover that AT&T/Google have blocked all functionality of that program. My build is, unfortunately, the latest build -- July 22 2014 (or there abouts).

Now, I'm not sure if the phone was given to me with that update -- I only got the thing on Sunday. Maybe it was, maybe not. Dunno. So I have a couple of questions.

If I were to factory reset the phone, would that roll back these "Security" OTA updates that were pushed onto the phone? I'm pretty sure there was at least one after I got the thing. I've spent a fair amount of time setting the phone up, but I'll do it again if a factory reset would allow me to root the phone and return the SD card functions.

Is there a way to push an earlier version of the ROM onto the phone. I'm guessing not, since I think I read that AT&T helpfully locked the bootloader.

Finally, does anyone know of any way to root this device if neither of the two paths I presented above will work?

Thanks for any help. If I can't restore the SD card functionality, I'll probably just return the phone. That would be a bummer because I was really excited about it.

Rooting Help?

I see that there are tutes here, and am wading through the 50+ pages of forum posts to find what I need. However, my worry is that none of this stuff will work because of the new firmware. Here is all the info that I have on my phone:

Galaxy S5 AT&T US version (SAMSUNG-SM-900A)

Android 4.4.2

kernel version 3.4.0-2178781 dpi@swdd5701 #1 Tuesday July 22

Build # KOT49H.G900AUCU2ANG3

SE for Android Status

Enforcing SEPF_SAMSUNG-SM-G900A_4.4.2_0018 Tuesday July 22

Security Software version:

MDF v1.0 Release 3

VPN v1.4 Release 1

Thanks all the pertinent info, I think.

Because the update was so new, I don't think there's a way to root this anymore. People keep telling me to use ODIN and to download an earlier ROM (and I now have ODIN and an earlier ROM -- hopefully from a good source, but I have no idea if it is), but my impression is that this latest AT&T "security" update keeps you from reflashing the ROM because of the bootloader lockout.

Any further help would be appreciated.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fgth90:
Hello,

As I told you, the only method working for me (because of towelroot non working) is cf auto root.

Check periodicaly here http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ to see if your model is listed.

I had just a look and it's not listed yet.

If it is, flash by odin and look if root works.

If not, you've got to flash by odin the same rom again (keep your original file on pc), you'll loose nothing, and report this fails on chainfire to test other solution.

Good luck

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
Not only build number and kernel version, you need to check your Bootloader version with Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app (in the FIRMWARE INFO section).

Bootloader version is one of the important info to check when you are going to root or flashing custom rom.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CKR83:
Hey that looks like a great utility. Thanks! The bootloader is G900AUCU2ANG3

Does that help any? People keep telling me I need to use ODIN and flash this, that or the other thing. Those comments would probably be more helpful if I knew more about this stuff, but my reading has lead me to believe that ODIN won't work with certain version of the bootloader. Or is that wrong?

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] BigDnm01:
I have 3 Xperia LT30 all running the same android 4.3, LT30_9.2.A.1.205. I use one, and my sister uses another. Anyway. it seems to restart alot. At first I thought it was my sister apps that keeps it restarting, as it doesn't happen to me. She even change SIM cards and remove the Micro SD card, but it still restarts randomly. recently, it happened to me as well, while using my Bluetooth stereo headphones, I notice it keeps restarting, as it continues to connect and disconnect my bluetooth.

I think it got something to do with the SIM card. it's like popping out and in the Micro SIM, which restarts it. It's like the phone keeps losing the SIM and then reads it.

How to fix this?

Check your battery: it's the first and biggest problem of this device.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da_jester:
Ok where to start.

I recently purchased a cheap 'Pendo Pad 7' comes with kitkat 4.4.2 (PNDPP44SD7BLK) / (7DTB25)

Now here is where the trouble starts, I think the main problem is figuring out what base tablet this is, it's labeled as a Pendo, but when ive looked into it it is possible a re branded Astro Queo or even a Hipstreet Titan 2 :/

on top of that it's being detected in windows as a plain old portable media player not and android device.

i've got the full SDK developers kit.

i've tried almost every 1-click rooting tool i can find (even some dodgy one that filled my computer full of bloat ware) most get to about 60-75% then either crash or force shut-down the tablet and that's it have to turn it back on and start from scratch.

and i've read up about using ADB, im in developers mode i have usb debugging turned on.

but i keep on getting numerous errors and seem to be going around in circles.

"File system set to read only"

"Cannot run as root in production builds"

"Device not found"

I've tried to remount as RW etc but getting a "permission denied" and other apps that say they can change the permissions.

Im a noob what does all this mean? I was up to 1am trying to figure out all the jargon - I don't want a custom ROM or anything fancy i just want it rooted to run a few apps and such that require rooting.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thank you very much!

If you have USB drivers of your device also install it ....

Nope tried that one already, shuts the pad down like the others also that's the one that installed all that bloat ware :eek:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The-Immortal:
The trick here is when it reboots 1st time don't disconnect device from PC

Its needed to connect automatically after 1st reboot so that v root can verify rooting process

Also its required to grant USB debugging as always trust your PC (so that PC can connect aromatically in USB debugging every time )

Steps

Connect device in USB debugging as always trust your PC

After connecting device press root

Will reboot 1st time (don't disconnect device)

Again it will reconnect automatically after reboot and verify root

Now device will reboot second time (now disconnect device)

It should work if you fallow

After that you can uninstall Chinese market installed by v root
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da_jester:
Nope still not working, here's the thing though it's not rebooting, it just shuts the device completely down.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
Since you're on stock, this might have to do with excessive RAM usage. If you're interested, custom ROMs will get rid of the problem (though I see that you have no interest in custom ROMs). So, your current workaround is to get to know an app that hogs so much memory and uninstall it or you can try Greenify, which hibernates apps (works non-root). You can try this before confirming that it is a hardware problem :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigDnm01:
About custom ROMS, do I need to root my phone? Not that I have no interest, but I know nothing about Custom ROMs. meanwhile I'll try the Greenify app. Tell me more about Custom ROMs, or thread and downloads.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
Having a custom ROM is completely optional, as rooting can also be done within the stock ROM itself. Here's an explanation of Custom ROM.

There are numerous options for custom ROMs. You can choose in this index thread.

Some of them will require to unlock the bootloader of your Xperia SP. Unlocking bootloader is relatively easy, though there are consequences too. You can follow my guide here, but the FAQ section is being build by the time of this post. You might need to check it out later for other explanations.

Custom ROMs are mostly pre-rooted. You'll not need to root them once installed on your phone. However, the process of flashing the Custom ROM will definitely require root.

Just one warning though, as I am sad to see people brick their phones, doing these kind of things do have risks of breaking your phone dead, it just depends on luck, and your carefulness on performing steps provided. Don't do this, if you're not sure about it yourself.

Try Greenify first, if it works out for you, then you can continue with your daily use of your phone.

Check what amperage your phone is being charged at... Google play store has an app called galaxy charging current lite. It'll tell you how much charge is going in.

The max a kitkat charge while screen is on is 1200mAh. While off it can reach 1900mAh. Pre-kitkat can do 1900mAh with screen on but it gets hot.

If your phone is charging only at 1000 or below, you may need to try a diff charger or a diff cable.
