[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbdoshi:
Use an app called "WebKey". It works over a brower (both http and https) and you can change the ports to non-standard ones in the app. I use Chrome, so not sure of the behavior on IE or Firefox.

You will create an account (userid & password) on each FTV that you install the app and want to control. Thats your authentication. You will also create a name that uniquely identifies your FTV.

It works in 2 ways when you are coming from a public IP.

-- If you are able to punch a hole in your router and open the 2 ports up (any port and you can redirect to the FTV ports) and redirect traffic to your FTV, you can access your FTV straight through by using your public IP (use a dynamic DNS service).

-- If you don't want to do that, the app allows access to your FTV without configuring your router. To access, you go to "http://www.webkey.cc/XXXX" where XXXX is the unique name of your FTV (it is case sensitive).

The second method goes through the app's portal. This is not desirable as your login goes through the app's portal and if the portal is down, you are SOL. Also, the second method only works over http.

Note, if you configure your router to let FTV traffic through, but still go through the app's portal, the app is smart enough to detect that there exists an open path for the FTV to the public internet and it will automatically switch to that method (nice feature, I think)

If everything is set up correctly, you see a complete copy of your FTV on the browser with keys to mimic your remote control, push/pull files, install/uninstall apps... It functions almost the same as any RDP client and you can control your FTV remotely as if you were sitting in front of it.

I have attached the apk that I have running on my 2 FTVs. Its free and runs perfectly fine.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martian21:
Wow - Thanks dbdoshi! WebKey worked great!

Would have been nice to be able to use VNC but seeing that WebKey only requires a browser it is actually more versatile. I haven't had a chance to really test it out but my initial connection was sucessful.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbdoshi:
Glad it worked out for you. I manage couple of FTVs for a friend and a cousin using this remotely. It can be slow (especially if you go through the webkey portal), but works. If you don't see immediate feedback after you click something, be patient and don't double click stuff. Internally, it rocks and experience is pretty good.

If you plan to use the app's portal, there is an option to "ping" their server through the app and you should enable that option. The main controls are at the bottom (in your browser), especially the arrow keys. The middle button inside the arrow keys in your "SELECT" button. Once you are in any app, simply touching the controls within the app seems to work. If you figure out how to enter text using your keyboard (say in any input box in any app) let me know, the only way I know is to bring up the keyboard on FTV and select each character individually.

Also, if you want to run any app, you don't have to go through the Settings,.... menu on FTV. On the right side, you will see an option for "Run Application" or something and you can start any app from there very easily.

Hi, I was doing a full wipe on TWRP before selling my G2 D801 online and have CloudyG3 installed. I figured I would wipe everything including storage for the buyer but once I went to reboot it, it is stuck at the LG boot screen. I still can get to TWRP but I erased everything on the sdcard so I can't just reinstall the rom. Is there an easy way to sideload?

I tried to select it in TWRP but it wasn't getting recognized by my computer. I have all the correct drivers installed but I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong any help would be great!

Thanks!

While talking with Mayday support on my HDX he mentioned the Fire TV will get the new Fire OS 4 Sangria as well. With it adding profiles and family library I was wondering what others thought of it's value versus not being able to root. I would assume it will be the last device to get it as the Fire Phone won;t get it until next year.

even i tried to reset my phone from back button, but still nothing happened. even my cell does not going into charging mode.

anyone can tell me what is the problem?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gamm86:
What update did you flash? An update for CM on a different ROM...?

If so, no wonder your phone isn't booting.

You'll have to flash an FTF file using flashtool. All data will be lost though.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricodredd:
As Gamm86 says, you'll need to flash a suitable FTF file. But in the future, do not install CM updates directly unless your phone has original CM software!

Xperianze is BASED on CM, but is not CM.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] nismo5584:
Hey guys

I am new to this phone tweaking and I hope I'm posting in the right place. My Ascend mate was upgraded to B907 and my GF's phone is on B221. I would like to go to B221 because my GF's phone is working loads better than mine. It's always crashing and I can't get a GPS connection and I have tried everything. Can I just download the B221 file and install it on my phone or do I have to go through a complex process in my capabilities and do extra things?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] SvenHee:
As far as I know you can downgrade the same way you can upgrade using the dload method.

Better do a search on this forum for the how to as that would give you a more complete answer than the one I can give you here, i'm a bit of a noob.

In short you put the update.app of choice, B211 in a folder called dload on the root of your external sd card.

then restart the phone in to recovery, (stock recovery required for this to work) and it willautomaticall starts reinstalling.

But did you upgrade this way or from within a running phone?

I think I went to B907 from the running phone in B221 and for me 907 was better.

Did you return to factory settings before upgrading?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] snowman2765:
Just re-flash B221 and you are good to go. I have done it multiple times with my mate.

I'm thinking of switching to GoSmart since I'm on Tmobile currently. Is GoSmart better than Tmobile?
[General Topics] Iceursus:
Depends on how you define "better".

Everything advertised as cheap might save you money but might also lack quality.

I usually just grab a prepaid card to test a network in my region.
[General Topics] yahanna:
Hi Iceurus. Thank you so much for your much needed reply. By quality I mean is GoSmart as reliable as tmo since they use tmo's network.For example, no dropped calls and good quality call sound. Let me know.
[General Topics] higherway:
yes, absolutely agree with you.
[General Topics] Azra4:
I've had GoSmart for only a few days and already deeply regret my decision to sign up. This is the speed I get, and that's after using 50MB of my 3GB cap. I hate to think what'll happen when I exceed 3GB and they throttle me down.
[General Topics] Azra4:
I also get a lot of this even tho my phone is NOT tethered to anything and I have tethering disabled. Basically, when I go to a website, it redirects me to that ugly message.

From what I could establish, it looks like they allow you to visit mobile websites but block "desktop" websites. I think that's what's happening but I don't have the patience to investigate further because the connection speed is so low that it would take hours and hours.

Monday morning I'm canceling my service and signing up with another carrier.

I've always used Brodit docks for my previous devices (like the Z2) -- these are by far the best solution out there -- however the Z3 dock is not available quite yet.

This looks awesome. Using my cd slot for a dock makes so much sense and it's probably the only practical place to put my phone.

I just don't understand how it grabs the phone. What attaches (and how) to the phone to magnetically connect it to the dock? Is there already enough metal on the phone or something?

I guess I could then buy a separate magnetic charging cable in case I ever need a charge on the go too.

It comes with a metallic plate and you may adhere to your phone or using a back cover.

I got mine now - the version with the cigarette plug charger. But there is a problem: The top grip is so tight that if you have applied any screen protectors, those will be partially peeled off when you slide in your Z3. (I wish they had a return policy, I'd return mine now).

So instead, I'll stick with their Z2 holder (below). This works fine for the Z3 as well, though I ended up wrapping 3-4 layers of black electrical tape around the rightmost "knob" to keep the phone positioned such that it makes good contact with the charging connector on the left.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CentaXx:
I have the Herbert Richter HR 1245 / 42 ("mini smart gripper 3") mounted on a ball joint on a brodit clip. Total cost ~35€ and it now serves my third smartphone.

For the Z3, the placement of the left clamp is PERFECT, because i could glue my Magnector cable onto the bracket. I always insert left side first, then push the right side in (from the front, not the top; no neet to "open" the brackets, they will hold it fine), which would make the cable snap right into place. The brodit + Herbert Richter solution may not be the cheapest or most practical one for the Z3, but as i said - i'm now using it with the third phone (Razr i -> One M7 -> Z3), so instead of buying 3 docks i bought one and it still works.

On the picture there's a Z1 mini and not the brodit car clip but another universal one. Just to show you what i meant with the placement of the brackets.

I have a new refurbished (oxymoron?) Samsung Galaxy tab Pro 10.1. running 4.4.2 KitKat. Current firmware is T520NZKAXAR. I've discovered a lot of info about updating to T520XXUAND1 firmware. I followed all preliminary steps, then attempted to download the "OFFICIAL" firmware file. Alas, after hours of searching, I was unable to find ANY firmware file that would even begin to install. That brought things to a screecing halt. I tries two different versions of Kies - 3.2 & 2.6 - and both told they did not support my device. I was going to us Odin, but without the proper firmware file I could not even try. I used Samsung's Live Chat, They coul not even begin to offer assistance. They were completely unawre of ANY firmware update for the 10,1 beyond t520nzkaxar. A (thorough search ?) of their database - I was told - revealed no mention of T520XXUAND1. From the gist of the chat, I got the impression they thought I did not know what I was talking about. Obviously (?) some or many people were able to upgrade their firmware to T520XXUAND1. Samsung said there was no such update, therefore there was NO FILE available for updating. Somewhere, somehow others got the update file - and updated. I would like to do so, but obviously am at a standstill. Can some of you gurus out there provide some help and advice? I am disgusted, frustrated, confused and worn-out from my fruitless efforts concerning this process. I would be close to eternally grateful for assistance.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taz1973:
My Nexus S is basically stuck in a reboot loop, where the phone starts up, you see the Google logo, followed by the OS logo (either the X for stock ROM or the cyanogen logo), and then it just stops and reboots and does the process all over again. This happened suddenly - the phone just stopped responding and when I powercycled it, it began its reboot loop.

I have searched these forums (and the web in general) and have not been able to get the device out of its loop.

I have done the following:

1. powercycle - reboot loop

2. clear the cache and reset to factory settings - reboot loop

3. loaded clockwork recovery and did a cache clear, Dalvik cache clear, and loaded fresh copy of the latest stock ROM from Google (Android 4.3 maguro) - reboot loop

4. via clockwork recovery, wiped the cache partition, wiped Dalvik cache, under mounts and storage - formatted the system, data, and cache partitions, and then installed the latest Cyanogen ROM for maguro as well as the Google APPS and then rebooted. Unfortunately, the reboot loop continues.

In my reading, I came across the possibility that the eMMC may be pooched, although I have no idea how to verify that this is the case.

Can someone please help me with this issue, or is the phone basically toast?

Thanks

It seems that the emmc is fried indeed. To find out you must lock the bootloader. If its still unlocked on reboot you know its bad.
