I can not find bootloader mode.

I followed these directions: Bootloader mode: Hold side OK and POWER buttons together and reset with stylus form this link: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Resets

side ok button is the one closest to the scroll wheel and the power button is the one closest to the top on the right side of the unit, right?

All I seem to be doing is rebooting.

Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks

Sometimes I jump the gun and let go of the power and ok buttons as soon as i hit reset with the stylus try holding the power and ok a moment longer.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xubeiga:
hi guys.

so there is something that is driving me crazy here.

i own a XT 925 and the update for KK 4.4.2 has already came for my device. but unfortunately when i updated, i got the popping noise issue and i really didnt like it, so i went back to JB 4.1.2

but the problem is: I WANT A KK ROM!

so i'm flashing a lot of KK roms and there is always one problem: the CAMERA.

all cameras that came in the kk roms i'm flashing arent good. i mean, bad quality, it doesnt focus properly.

but the stock jb camera is perfect.

so i have already tried a lot of things, download stock camera apks, change in system/app, try to install it like any apk but i just can't, the phone won't do it. it just says "app not installed" and that's it.

so i would like to ask you guys what can i do about this...

1) is there a way to fix this "app not installed" issue? i need to change the Camera to a good one which can focus properly so i can take good pics (i've already tried moto x camera apk, but again, it's just not as good as stock 4.1.2 was...stock jb camera focus a lot better)

2) if i upgrade my phone to official KK, and flash a custom rom which is KKBL, will i be able to install a stock camera APK on that custom rom?

i just dont know what to do anymore...i don't want to stay on JB, i want KK. but i also want good Camera

please someone save me from this !!

thanks

How can we record audio on our device when there is no recording ap? Unless I'm blind and missed it.

I know that I can download an ap to record, but that's not the point of course.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skycamefalling:
Usually, the voice recorder is part of the small apps you see when pressing the button for the task switcher.

I would be glad if Sony wouldn't bundle anything with the phone, so I can install whatever I want and don't have redundant apps.

Why would I need a voice recorder when I install OneNote anyhow?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsteppa:
Yeah that's the first place I checked, but it's not there.

I see sound recorder as an essential ap, not that I ever use it, but still it can be really handy at times.

Hi all !

After one day usage! this is my review for KitKat 4.4.4 in our S III LTE International I9305!!!

Well! Let s start with good things!

No bugs at all compared to 4.3 which is used for 8 months! Gaming is good! All games are working smoothly and with amazing graphics!

All new features! (lockscreen music! light unlock effect! plam motion! zoom anywhere!.....)

Battery life isnt bad (18 hours without any tweaks or power saving tips! 3h4m on screen 3h wifi on)

Graphics are good! I noticed that the setting graphics are better than 4.3!

Now time for bad things!!

I noticed that Touchwiz launcher didnt change! It is the same as 4.1.2! I was hoping for note 3's or s5's touchwiz!!

No camera shortcut on locksceen!

Phone Browser Calculator are the same as 4.3!

No special features!

Q:Can I install S5's or note 4's TW without changing rom! And how can I root it! I tried CF-root and didn't work

In the endd! Thanks Samsung for updating our phone after long waiting! Untill android L

4.4.4 better than 4.3

I find 4.4.4 better than 4.3.

It is faster at the daily usage. Scores way better in AnTuTu ( around 5500+ points, in my case). The changes I can notice in the design are:

-new all white notification icons/clock/battery bar etc ( which looks way better and stylish) and new "big" icons, when you swipe down for notifications.

-new calculator look ( also nicer than 4.3)

-slightly changed settings

-better graphics and fonts. They look more detailed and clear.

-Camera shortcut on Lockscreen ( after I used the fix from this thread )

-Music controls+artist art on Lockscreen

-TouchWiz is NOT changed and I prefer using Mini Launcher which I find faster and better.

-the "eye" for Smart Stay is now showing only when detecting your eyes, not always showing like in 4.3

Other improvements:

-better battery life

-much faster than 4.3

-stable

Well, after instalation:

1. What bothers me mostly is that there is no option to disable the lock screen, everytime when i press the power button the screen locks, and to unlock it i have to swipe to unlock. Before there was an option which allows us to turn off/on screen and stay at the same menu/app without the need of unlock the screen.

2. The 2x1 alarm widget is missing

3. I get < com.google.process.location has stopped> every time after restart

4. No Adobe flash in stock browser , but double click and drag and zoom is enabled now like was in chrome.

5. Same stability and performance

6 . A little bit of heating sometimes

7. Same or maybe faster battery drainage.

8. No mobile operators bloatware :good:
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] jakmes:
I installed the 4.4.4 too since a week.

1. I still have the chance to select the "none" in the lock screen menu (settings -> device -> lock screen, it's my translation from my country settings, so I'm not sure it's 100% correct)

2. I noticed that too, I used nova to resize the 4x1 widget, but I don't get why they removed it and made it with fancy colors I was fine with the 2x1 black.

7. I've got to tell the main reason I was upset with 4.3 update (apart knox) was the superfast battery drain, now the power consumption really slowed down and I manage to get to 6 hours screen time with the 3.000 mah extended battery, before I was lucky to get to 4.

As someone else in the forum I've not been able to connect with screen mirroring, but in my user experience it's not a big deal, better having than not, but I can live without, and even on the 4.3 it was working awfully when it was working.

I've got no other issues like force close or overheating.

Another thing I've noticed is that now you have more customization possible while selecting which network you want to use (LTE/WDCMA/GSM or WDCMA/GSM or WDCMA or GSM), before the only chance given was to exclude LTE and not locking in WDCMA or GSM.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidunit:
Is there any way to disable HDCP on the FireTV ? I'd like to use it with SPMC/Kodi and my Slingbox (which does not support HDCP over HDMI).
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schneid:
I don't think so. It is DRM copy protection and hardware based. All devices in the chain must be HDCP "compliant" or no-go.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solidunit:
its traditionally an option exposed in the AOSP developer menu (in the screenshot above its below the 'select runtime' option). Also, all TV's should be capable of viewing non-HDCP protected streams. However if your content is HDCP protected, then you wont be able to view it.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schneid:
Thought I said that. If its HDCP, it can't viewed if the device is not compliant. My DirecTV will shutdown HD and push as SD if connected to a non-complainant device but then it carries both SD and HD versions of programming. it requires a reboot to re-implement HD.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashmanmb:
I got an HDMI splitter from Amazon, to split the HDMI output to two screens at the same time. My directv would not play hd content on one of the screens since it is an old computer monitor I have setup in the kitchen to watch tv when cooking.

I ended up getting a second splitter and split the signal from the stereo receiver hdmi out, to one out to my 47" tv, and the other to my original splitter which is split to a 32" tv and the computer monitor. all 3 screen works now with hd content.

I read on the splitter reviews that the one I just got actually removes the hdcp and allows me to watch the hdcp protected content on the monitor. FYI the monitor connects via a dvi to hdmi converter cable and it is an old probably 12 year old 19" dell monitor.

So that is potentially an option for you, to look for an HDMI splitter on amazon that allows it to remove hdcp. I would post a link but I am not sure if I am allowed to. the one I got was called this: CKITZE BG-520 HDMI 1x2 3D splitter v1.3 HDCP

All the comments on amazon said it removes the hdcp so the content goes through. many people have said they can use it with a playstation/xbox/ etc to play into a video capture device the hdcp content.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KarlP:
I think everything coming out of the Fire TV is protected, Amazon content or local content from XBMC. This worked for me however http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004F9LVXC/

YEs that is very similar to the one I got.... Mine works the same way everything I output can go to a standard dvi monitor without preventing hdcp content from displaying. I get all signals out.

No solution but not an issue for me as I never used the function in the past 9 months :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] ruvasky:
Only in Dutch?

I am a very happy user of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition and yesterday l finally upgraded my device to Android Kitkat 4.4.2. l live in Belgium (Dutch region) and since the upgrade for The Netherlands is still not available I downloaded the firmware for France on the website of SamMobile, using Odin 3.09 to flash the system as described.

All went well during the upgrade and after only a few minutes l could enjoy all features of kitkat on my tablet. The device seems to work very smoothly and fast, there are no hickups or whatsoever.

There's only one issue, and for me that's a major one: the s-pen! It seems to be impossible to use handwriting for text input when in Dutch. When using French or English there's no problem at all, handwriting works just fine and even faster and more accurate than before, but as soon as I switch languages to Dutch it all goes wrong. It seems to me that the handwriting function for Dutch is simply not supported since I cannot find the icon for stylus input when in Dutch too. I do find icons for voice-input (the microphone), smilys, splitted keyboard and settings, but no handwriting icon. As soon as I change language on the keyboard to English or French, the handwriting option appears alongside the others. So my guess is this issue is not related to the Kitkat-upgrade itself but to the fact this upgrade is not foreseen to be used in a Dutch region. I don't know if there's a solution, besides waiting for the official firmware upgrade for an region (Belgium, which is mostly included in the Luxemburg-version and the Netherlands). l hope there will be an upgrade for these regions very soon, l use the handwriting function a lot and if it would take too long I will be forced to downgrade my device to the previous version again., which would be a bummer. :(

For the other people who started this thread: what version did you guys install, where did it come from, for which region is it meant and what languages are you using when encountering those s-pen issues? Is the problem similar to mine or do you also have problems using the s-pen when in English or French? Just to find out what could be the cause of all pain...

Please, when leaving feedback add this info to your message: region of the upgrade and language(s) you're using when encountering the s-pen issues.

Thanks in advance & regards,

Rudy (Belgium)

Jep, language is the problem. When I try to set a language for handwriting in input settings, settings crash and I'm back on the home screen.

[E] problem solved: you need to update your language packs. Go to settings/language&input and then enter the Samsung keyboard settings there press "+ select input language" and then you should see a little "update" button next to your downloaded languages. Hit those buttons for the languages you use and after the update handwriting recognition should be fine again. Hope that wasn't too complicated

[Moto X Q&A] Jersey846:
So I've recently unlocked the bootloader thanks to SunShine. I previously froze the Moto updater app in Titanium so as not to continually receive prompts to upgrade. Since I'm not unlocked, rooted and have TWRP running.. Would it be worth my time to upgrade to 4.4.4?

1. What are the benefits or drawbacks of upgrading or is it so minor I'm barely going to notice a difference?

2. I don't want to screw anything up. I want my Xposed apps and everything I have now running great.

3. If I do upgrade is it difficult to re-root (assuming I will indeed lose root) or is it as simple as reinstalling SuperSU?

4. Is "okay Google Now" any faster? I'd use it more if it wasn't so incredibly slow.

5. I assume there will be no data wipe if I upgrade, correct?

6. Is it even worth it to upgrade? Better cell service? Faster or slower os?

Side Question: Can anybody recommend good WiFi Hotspot app now that I'm unlocked and rooted?

Sent from my Moto X
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
You can upgrade and flash custom recovery and root on any Android version now.

Will 4.4.4 change much? No. But there's no reason not to. You may need it for future X feature updates perhaps. Not sure.

Supposedly 4.4.4 lowered Android O/S battery usage, though my wifes 4.4.2 is fine... So again, up to you.

I don't see how updating will hurt anyway. But... Once you do, there's no going back.

Also on 4.4.2 AT&T unlocked through Chinese, have been planning to update to 4.4.4 now that it's rolled out to AT&T, mostly to see if the supposed camera improvements are better, and though I don't use the video recorder, I like that they added the pause (I was surprised when I couldn't find it)

I believe I just need to uninstall xposed, unfreeze any system apps, flash stock recovery, take the update, and reinstall TWRP
