yea you are wright so is it bad to use the lg charger?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rowihel2012:
lg v is 5 only can this damage the battary?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flhthemi:
What you really need to compare is the current output (Amperage) output of the two. 5V or 5.3 will surely be OK. I think the Samsung wall wart is 2.1A your LG wall wart is most likely higher than that and this is really why it charges faster. It might not be good for the battery if it's too high. I don't know what the limit would be....

Bre careful i recomend u dont use another charger for ur device
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] komw:
How long take you charge from 0 to 100%?

Voltage is not responsible for charging time, but current. Samsung genuine charger has 2.1A current, but galaxy tab S gets only about 1770 mA (1,77A) maximum current (I measure this using voltage/current multimeter).

I have many chargers, and any of them (despite some of them have over 2A current) gets maximum current to galaxy tab S about 1.77A.

I also have I9300, and custom kernel (Boeffla, you can select own charging current from 0 to 1600mA), but i9300 takes maximum 920 mA (I don't know why they develop thi function to set current over 0.9A). Setting current over 920mA nothing changes.

I have to add, that very important is USB cable. Device can test the maximum current of charger, and when cable is not ok (for example cable is very thick) device can use a smaller than charger maximum current. You have to notice, that cable can works OK (transfer and/or charging) but can charge smaller than maximum current. Unfortunately on non-rooted devices you cannot see charging current (on device, of course you can use external multimeter)

I have many USB cables, and some of them on original samsung charger uses about 0.5A what is about 3x smaller current.

Hello. If anyone out there that could tell me how to fix my wifi that would be great. The problem is that when I connect to wifi it force closes and reboots the phone. I cleared the cashe and also did a full wipe and still have the same problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Misterjunky:
re: wfi issue / fix

What rom are you using?

First thing to do is to make sure you are using the official N900T 4.4.2

STOCK kernel to make sure that the issue is not due to usinig a custom

kernel which has issues or not playing nice.

Here is the odin flash direct download link for the official N900T NF9 kernel:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45687485/N900T_NF9_Stock_KERNEL.tar.md5

If the rom you are using is from the international forum threads or if you

are using a ported rom from this Note 3 N900T threads then you need to

use this wifi fix. Here is the direct download link for the wififixN900T:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45687485/WifiFixN900TV2.zip

Flash this using twrp/cwm recovery and be sure to make a nandroid

backup flashing this wifi fix or any flashing anything else.

Good luck!

I hard brick a t-mobile note 3 by using the NSPRO to repair the IMEI by using N7105 and afterward it hard brick and only do QHSUSB_DLOAD.

my question is that i completely forgotten what android it was on. I wanted to know if it was on 4.3 or 4.2.2 can i use any Kitkat SD debrick file to fix the issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Frank Westlake:
The wrong won't work but it won't hurt either, so pick one, and if it fails pick the other.

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

Yesterday I installed Cyanogenmod 11 Official Nightlies. I charged my phone when it was powered off and later plugged out the charger. But when I tried to turn on the phone in the morning, the battery was at 0%.

I just discovered that the charging animation when the phone is turned off, is still active even when the charger is plugged out. This drains my battery.

This doesn't happen on Samsung Touchwiz ROMs.

How can I fix this?

I have the Samsung Galaxy S5 G900F.
[Fire TV General] rbox:
I would also highly recommend making sure your recovery is working :)
[Fire TV General] jmandawg:
good point :)
[Fire TV General] MadFlava:
This is exactly what Ive been waiting for.. I want to attach a 1TB USB drive to my Fire and just call it a day. I dont even care about storing movies on it or anything.. I pull from my NAS and that has 12TB in it. I just want to be able to install as many apps as I want without running out of room.

I hope this finds its way into the AFTV Tool.. Im too lazy to do this on my own. When you do this kind of crap 50-60 hours a week, reading the forums is about as much as I want to do with computers when I get home.

Anyway, thank you for your hard work! Thats awesome!
[Fire TV General] CLran619:
so this essentially allows apps to be installed directly onto an external without using apps to foldermount :good:
[Fire TV General] jocala:
Nice work.
[Fire TV General] t3ch42:
This method works like a champ. I did a fresh install and started with the basic items i needed. After that, copied the files over to my usb, and finished the rest.

I have 29gb space showing up in my storage and have no errors or problems with operating. This is a great way to bypass the 5.45gb of free space on a firetv.

Not sure why this isnt more visible on the front page. Great work!
[Fire TV General] jmandawg:
Just be aware if you update the firetv image with one of rbox's pre-rooted roms you have to re-copy over the install-recovery-3.sh script and add the line to start it back into /etc/init.bueller.sh.

Maybe I will put those 2 things into an update.zip when the next rom is release.
[Fire TV General] rbox:
You should really just need to rename it install-recovery.sh.
[Fire TV General] jmandawg:
From my experience, It won't work, that script is called too late and sometimes not at all. But feel free to prove me wrong, once i got it working i kinda left it as it was.
[Fire TV General] rbox:
Oh I see, the original instructions included editing the init. I thought you were using the mechanism that was in the install-recovery that came from supersu.
[Fire TV General] jmandawg:
LOL, yeah, I originally tried that, hence the file name "install-recovery-3.sh" Maybe someone can clean this up and package it, it's a lot cleaner than trying to use stickmount/link2sd.
[Fire TV General] t3ch42:
I can attest to this in some degree. Prior to editing the bueller?.init file, i attempted to just call the script as i was hesitant to modify a system init script. It didnt work.

But then again, i was using scriptmanager to do so. Like the OP, when i got it working, i called it quits.

Maybe there are ways to make this a little less dangerous, but I've only got a single firetv and having it out of commision for a while would be bad...

Thanks again to everybody that works on it. Without the rooted fw, the firetv wouldn't be as cool.
[Fire TV General] jmandawg:
It's not really dangerous at all, if the script doesn't detect your drive (sda) after 30 seconds it will boot as normal. Also with rbox's CWM Recovery there is nothing to worry about.

It's only dangerous if you fudge up the bueller init script... that might be bad.
[Fire TV General] t3ch42:
Lol, thats the dangerous part i mean. I messed up my init script on my pogoplug, had to get out the serial cable to fix it.

I'd like to keep it accessible with software if I can.

But, like you said, even if the init script gets broken, a backup is easy to recover from. Not as bad as the pogoplug at all.
[Fire TV General] jmandawg:
LOL, i used to have a pogoplug too and a dockstar, i guess i still do but i don't use them anymore. You right, once something doesn't work you have to rip it apart and get out the serial... I ended up getting a chromebox loaded it up with linux and never looked back.
[Fire TV General] rbox:
Really, as long as the kernel starts, the sysrq method will get you to recovery. And then from there you can fix anything wrong with the file.
[Fire TV General] gerikss:
Hey guys,

Any ideas how much space I need on my external drive? I wonder if I can use 16Gb flash drive...

Thanks.
[Fire TV General] rbox:
Well the /data partition on the firetv is 5gb... so... if the point is to give you more space... i'd say anything over 5.
[Fire TV General] gerikss:
Thanks for the quick reply! The reason I am asking because of this reply:

So if original free space is 5.45Gb and he got 29Gb - looks like he moved around 24Gb... Is my math wrong somewhere? :confused:
[Fire TV General] xm41907:
I am trying to install this but having troubles. First I tried it using the fire tv utility, but it did nothing. When I clicked the Mount CWM SDCard option, it gave me the window to select which version. I want MountPartialDataToUSB, but then it disappears and nothing happens.

So I decided to do it manually. I've pushed the zip to my device and trying to remote control CWM by following this http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-remotely-control-clockworkmod-on-the-amazon-fire-tv-using-adb/

But it didn't work either. I realized CWM doesn't work wirelessly, but I can't do wired and connect to my tv. That leaves using a USB HUB with keyboard. Will this affect the reading of the UUID? I have no use for a hub with keyboard, as I use a bluetooth keyboard. I only need to be able to control CWM for a moment to install the script. Also, will I need a powered HUB?
[Fire TV General] nijhawank@yahoo.com:
Why /data/misc has been left in the internal mmc

Hi all,

I wanted to ask if there's any particular reason that /data/misc has always been left on the internal fire tv storage. Can't it be taken from the USB partition?

Regards.
[Fire TV General] schybiorz:
also got a question.

used one usb ssd drive ext4 as internal storage. wich works flawless superb. thanks for that.

now i want to connect another usb drive ntfs formatet to list as second sdcard, but i don't get them mounting. tried busymount, but no success. furthermore it messed up my setting.

don'tknow what i did wrong. also mounting via adbfire had messup.

mybe it's only usererror.

pm would also be great, if someone knows the answer.
[Fire TV General] danknasty:
Does this work with the latest prerooted custom rom 51.1.4.1.... I have everything set up with the bootloader etc and decided to give this a go but it will not recognize any harddrive. Another thing I have noticed is that the bootloader will not unlock and I cannot install busybox are these all things that happen when you load the latest custom firmware?
[Fire TV General] rtron:
questions

Hi - My device cannot be rooted. Will this method work for me to get extra storage?

I'm guessing it can't due to my rooting problem.
[Fire TV General] rjamer:
Hi, Do I copy the zip file directly to the USB drive or do I need to unzip the files and copy these. Also what is the easiest way of copying the files to the Ext4 formatted USB Drive on a Mac?
[Fire TV General] dk1keith:
CWM Recovery not recognizing USB Drive

Hi all,

Finally got my Fire TV rooted and CWM recovery and custom rom installed. Running great. Yay.

I am running CWM recovery 6.0.5.1.4a and can't seem to get recovery to see connected usb drive not matter what I format it as...

what format should I use so usb drive shows in recovery? Drive is connected to a powered usb hub.

thanks
[Fire TV General] will4958:
A tip I read on one of the other threads was to format the drive to FAT32 and insert it after CWM has finished loading. I tried it and it worked. I was able to perform a Nandroid backup to the drive, and after that I pulled it out and reinserted it. The drive disappeared and reappeared just like it would if you inserted it into a regular computer. I wish I had tried that last night, because I performed the same Nandroid using the internal storage, and I couldn't the darn thing after rebooting, so at least this way I can save about 2 gigs on the internal 'sd card'.
[Fire TV General] dk1keith:
Thanks for the tip. It worked when plugging in the usb drive after CWM recovery loaded. But when I went back into recovery it was no longer mounted. What have I missed to keep it mounted so I don't have to unplug the drive and plug it in after CWM recovery loads? I just want to keep the drive mounted.

thanks
[Fire TV General] will4958:
Not as far as I know. I'm still kind of getting to know the ins and outs of this particular Android product. From what I can tell, the whole USB device being recognized thing is like connecting an Android phone to your computer when booted into either SafeMode, CWM, or whatever root system you're using. It doesn't detect your computer by default, you have to go into the 'mounts' section and tap the appropriate thing to connect to your computer.
[Fire TV General] ractar28:
I tried Option 1 with a USB 3 HDD and the games were stuttering and lagging, so I reverted back (thanks for that script). Would option 2 or option 3 be better for using the FTV for gaming?
[Fire TV General] dk1keith:
where do you put the revert_mountsdc file to restore the sdcard. CWM does not see the usual sdcard location?
[Fire TV General] dk1keith:
Sorry to ask this question again, but I'm trying to restore data back to internal sd, so I can mount data to a different usb ssd drive. Right now I have internal mounted to a usb thumb drive and it works real well. I just want to switch it to the ssd drive that is larger and should run smoother. So my question is: how do I revert back to internal sd so I can re-mount to external on the ssd drive? Can I simply unplug the usb thumb drive that is now mounted with internal data, if not where do I put the revert_mountsdc.zip so CWM recovery will see it for the install from recovery?

thanks
[Fire TV General] will4958:
I was wondering if it'd be possible to create a version of the MountDataToUSB flash that would work with the newest pre-rooted stock image since it runs on FAT32. I know the new update supports external storage now, but certain apps/games like Asphalt 8 Airborn don't offer the option to download the data pack, and it's a big one, to an external device. I'm going to try to re-enable Link2SD and see if that'll work, but I'm not holding my breath. Thanks in advance.
[Fire TV General] derpeter:
does somebody already tried this on 51.1.5.0_515030720 ?

It seems the kernel is not creating the /dev/block/sda1 anymore.
[Fire TV General] will4958:
The newest update uses a different file system than the previous ones. Earlier builds used a Linux-based kernel, which is what the flashable you tried to apply is based on. The most recent update uses a file system that Windows uses, which is why I switched back to the build just before the new one that was released. While the new build will let you transfer apps to an external source, some other apps that require a big data pack download, such as Asphalt 8 Airborne, don't provide the option to install to an external device, even if you transferred the app itself before starting the data pack download. I tried the new build, but didn't see enough new enhancements to make it worth loosing being able to totally extend my Fire's internal storage, and not just what it would let me transfer.
[Fire TV General] derpeter:
Thanks but thats not the point. In fact both use a linux kernel (android runs on linux). The different is that the new firmware allows the user to mount a FAT / NTFS formated stick. But this has nothing to do with process of the linux kernel to create device nodes in the dev filesystem.

My question aims on finding out if the new firmware uses a different path for its device nodes (i.e. most linux distribution create the device node on /dev/sdX the firetv uses /dev/block/sdX) or if there is something else changed.

Never the less my problem seem to be somewhere else as the the USB keyboard also stops working after the update but is working in CWM.

I will update my second firetv to the new firmware and see what happens there.
[Fire TV General] derpeter:
Ok i solved my problem ... i had activated USB debugging which turns the USB port into a USB client port.

UPDATE:

it seems the problem with this zip is that the altered bueller.init trys to write a log to /storage/usb which is not available in the new firmware. I altered the path to /cache/ (which is probably not the best idea but works).

I didn't try to mix this with the stock app2SD feature but it will probably work.
[Fire TV General] AQKhanTheOne:
Does this mean that you got the script to work with the new firmware?
[Fire TV General] derpeter:
Yes. You just need to alter the init.bueller.sh script inside the zip to write its log to an at boot time writable partition.

I altered mine to:

/system/etc/mountUSB.sh > /cache/mountUSB.log 2>&1

If you don't plan on reading that log you could also use /dev/null as the target.

If /data is mounted to a USB drive or to the emmc inside the firetv has nothing to do with the App2USB feature of the

new firmware. The only downside is that the firetv will ask you on every startup if you want to format the USB drive as

it is not fat32 formatted. So you need to make sure nobody clicks on yes or all you data is gone.

It is probably pretty easy to write a exposed module to hide that message if you are a java guy.

EDIT:

To be clear on this you still need a ext4 formatted USB drive. If you want to use also the app2USB feature from the new firmware you need an additional USB drive.

(But i have no clue why somebody would want that ;) )
[Fire TV General] AQKhanTheOne:
Thank you!

Unfortunately did not work for me. I am unable to flash the zip with the altered init.bueller.sh.
[Fire TV General] derpeter:
mm does it say something about signing error? You can also flash the original zip,

log in with adb (don't reboot it works in CMW) and put the altered file to /system/etc/ .

You may need to mount the system partition writable before by executing

mount -o remount,rw /system
[Fire TV General] AQKhanTheOne:
No nothing about a signing error. I used Notepad++ to edit the init.bueller.sh file on my pc and then moved the zip to /sdcard on the FireTV. Reboot into recovery and try to flash but it aborts immediately.

Could you kindly post your altered zip here? Maybe I'm doing something wrong when editing the file. I'd really appreciate it.
[Fire TV General] derpeter:
without an error message its hard to guess what went wrong. try the second way and if that also don't works for you i could try to build a zip for you.

But maybe [MENTION=2205195]jmandawg[/MENTION] find the time to update the original zip.
[Fire TV General] AQKhanTheOne:
Excellent tip derpeter!

It worked! This is gonna make a lot of people happy. Now we can have our cake (latest firmware) and eat it (expanded internal storage) too!!
[Fire TV General] jmandawg:
Sorry guys, I got rid of my fireTV box, (still have a couple fireTV sticks, but can't do much with those). I ended up getting a zotac zbox which makes things alot simpler for what i want to do (except no android games). If someone wants to take over the script, create a new thread and i can point the first post to the new thread.
[Fire TV General] derpeter:
Oh that’s sad but as far i followed your work i understand what you are doing. As for me the firetv is just a media renderer and the linux server is runnig besides it so the limitiation of the fireOS eco system are not a problem and i like the games and primeVideo.

I 'm not into maintaining stuff on xda but if nobody else is willing to update it i would do that. Did you sign the zip? if yes do you got a signing manual somewhere?

Are you also stopping to develop adbfire? I thing thats a nice tool for linux newbs and could also be helptfull on other devices.
[Fire TV General] jmandawg:
The zip is not signed and i did not create adbfire. But if you want to take over just start a new thread and I can link to it in the first post.
[Fire TV General] xm41907:
I've been thoroughly enjoying this script on my FTV and have been hesitant to upgrade to the latest firmware because native USB drive functionality isn't as good as this. An issue with Netflix stuttering seems to be corrected in the latest firmware, so I'm debating upgrading to the latest pre-root version. It appears this script is working with that now? Is there anything I should be concerned about on this end with upgrading?
[Fire TV General] grappi:
I just upgraded to the latest firmware following the instructions by derpeter! (@derpeter - Thank You :))

Everything worked fine and I can now use the new features and still can use my SSD as data device :D

I first booted into CWM Recovery, flashed the new firmware and then (before reboot) flashed the MountDataToUsb_3.1-modified file. After that I rebooted the device and everything was as usual (the external ssd was mounted) and I am now on "51.1.5.0_515030720".

I uploaded the modified MountDataToUSB_3.1.zip for your use.

Have fun...
