Fair enough...I guess I'll sit tight and maybe do a half-upgrade, with the old CWM and your latest pre-rooted ROM. That should not break anything.

Many people might not care so much about Netflix, but in my case it was the deciding factor: simple way to get SHD and Dolby+.

I have a ton of other Android devices that can do 1750kbps in Netflix (720x480) but AFTV is the one that truly gets 5800kbps (1980x1080/60fps).
[Fire TV Original Android Development] Y314K:
Why not test it for us... Go the full-monty. Unlock bootloader & install latest CWM. And if you think you are not getting the same performance on Netflix, let us know... And just relock bootloader & downgrade CWM... You would be better prepare at figure out if Netflix is under performing... By your prior experience with it...
[Fire TV Original Android Development] rotor00ter:
Gonna try this out soon. Great work as always!
[Fire TV Original Android Development] rbox:
Someone was asking about HD in Netflix. I found that F4 brings up a 3 line display that isn't as good as the old diagnostics, but it does show resolution and audio status. It shows 1080 and 5.1 for me. I wonder if there is a way to bring up the old diagnostics. I tried ctrl alt shift a - z and got nothing. And also tried all the F keys, which is how I found F4.

Have you seen the demo file on netflix "El Fuente: 60 MP10" not exactly what your looking for but does give some info.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] chickenmusket:
the file...

Thanks for your efforts.

When I download the file, it does not have an extension. What extension do I give it? .apk, .txt ... ?

Or, is it supposed to have no extension?

I'm currently on rooted 51.1.1.0_user_511070220, any tips on the easiest way to downgrade and unlock? Would an unlock on 51.1.1.0 ever be possible?
[Fire TV Original Android Development] lightning413:
Here's your best place to start

http://www.aftvnews.com/start/

You'll have to downgrade to 51.1.0.2 to unlock and then you can upgrade to one of AFTVNews Pre-rooted Roms
[Fire TV Original Android Development] derpeter:
[MENTION=3991724]rbox[/MENTION] thanks for the work. I roote my ftw yesterday with the emmc method and will do all the shiny downgrade stuff today.

Did you wrote down what the unlock does and why its neccessary for new CWM someweher. I'm interested in the techincal details (not an howto ;) ).
[Fire TV Original Android Development] rbox:
Original CWM took advantage of a signing bug in the bootloader. It was annoying for me and could lead to bricking issues with people testing kernels. Then I switched to using a different bug in the bootloader which just allows it to boot unsigned code. The reason the new CWM requires it is because I got rid of the code for the signing bug.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] derpeter:
I tried to downgrade the FW of a german firetv running 51.1.3.0 rooted by emmc, i followed the instructions on aftvnews and copyed via dd an old stock recovery to the recovery partition.

I pushed a old stock image to /cache and placed the command file.

Sadly the "update" failed an in the last_log log of the recovery was the following error

EDIT:

fixed it. i realized by comparing the md5sums of the content of recovery before and after reboot that i should not reboot after the recovery downgrade and before the fw downgrade
[Fire TV Original Android Development] patt2k:
RBOX:

Can I do this on :51.1.0.1 not .2 firmware?
[Fire TV Original Android Development] bula1ca:
Install lower version of CWM (lower then 6.0.5.1.4) first (can be done from 51.1.0.1) and then unlock boot loader and install CWM rev6.0.5.1.4a . Not need to be at 51.1.0.2 to install it if CWM was installed beforehand .

Fire HDX bootloader has been unlocked, can our bootloader be unlocked in a similar manner? http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hd...bootloader-unlock-procedure-software-t3030281

I faintly remember jcase saying his version of an unlock works on HDX and Fire TV.

Nevermind: it works! http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58845492&postcount=27

EDIT 2: I have tested it myself and can confirm it works.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] rbox:
I always wondered how you were supposed to unlock these things properly. It's interesting to see the flash command isn't totally blocked out and it allows you to flash the unlock. Why did it take you multiple times?
[Fire TV Original Android Development] gamer765:
I didn't know the leading 0's for the serial number were needed, unlike the leading 0's for manfid. I had the signer running on linux vm, and replacing the signed file on my mac.
[Fire TV Original Android Development] andPS2:
the bootloader unlock can't work on 51.1.4.3 right?

cause the cuber signing tool wouldnt sign the image correct

p.s. just wondering if it would work how u would get the id's

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] J3ff:
Cmon, lets give the credit where credit is due.

I no longer have to worry about battery charge thanks to this new fast charge thing. 45 mins after having a low battery I'm at 80%... thank god battery charging has finally progressed to this.

I use my phone for music / radio shows all day long. I can't tell you how happy I am to have this fast charge thing.. on the boat, in the car, at work at home, a 30 min charge and my phone is ready to go for HOURS!

Thank you to samsung and the note 4 for FINALLY putting a phone out there that is awesome!! :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] cdmoore74:
I agree but I rather swap my battery. When I get down to lets say 5% I don't have to worry about plugging it in. It takes less than a minute to go from 0% to 100% and it's less strain on the charging port and circuit. Plus if you still want to use the phone you don't have to be tethered to a cable.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tengtengvn:
+1 I love it. Swapping out the batter. LOL Not so much.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] alprazolam:
Battery swapping really sucks if you have a case on the phone. I vote for fast charging. Beautiful thing! I just need to get a fast car charger and I can charge my phone fully during my commute to work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Serinety:
As an electrical engineer, seeing statements like this makes me cringe. I can absolutely assure you that there is no "strain" on the charging circuit, or battery, or anything else for that matter.

The only thing I could say is, possibly, the reduced battery life span due to the additional charge cycles. But charge cycles for modern Li-ion is already really high. But even if I were to entertain the fact that the battery might need to be replaced sooner, who cares. You are buying another battery NOW, vs the possibility of buying another battery in a year or so.

As far as personal preference goes, if a spare battery is your thing, go for it. But please try not to perpetuate the idea that the fast charging circuit or battery can't handle the charging.

I'm more than happy to go over the physics and electrical theory on how charging works. You might be interested to know that in a lab setting we can get charging rates as fast as 1 minute per 1000mAh with minimal heat build up (the major hurdle in improving charging rates)

Fast charging is nothing new. A similar concept are large capacitors, like a camera flash. They charge in seconds. The major engineering challenge is controlling the discharge rate, in most cases the heat build up is limiting factor.

Don't be surprised if the note 5 charges in 0 to 100 in less than 5 min.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Hardknockz313:
Fast Charging + Killer battery life = One Happy Customer :D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] derrtydee:
i love everything about this post, btw. i'd love to know the physics and electrical theory if you ever want to share. it would probably help me to understand which is better for the phone, not that i need it right now, but i'm sure it would be beneficial to have that knowledge. i am one that is a fan of the fast charging, but i've also been looking at Samsung's spare battery charger too. the Korean Note 4 variants actually came WITH the spare battery charger (lucky ducks) but it's going for $45 ish right now on Samsung's website. might not be a bad investment at all, even though my battery life is averaging 12 - 15 hours on a singe charge.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] alprazolam:
This is true. I had an Energizer battery charger that could charge my AA or AAA batteries in 15 minutes. They got very hot though. This was in the 90's.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] usmaak:
I had something like this as well. Mine had a fan on it that would attempt to keep things cool. I have an Ego lawn mower that can charge the HUGE battery pack that goes in it up by 50% in 15 minutes, and it sits on a big charging base with a huge, loud fan. That's a little different than charging a cell phone battery or AA/AAA batteries.

+1 on the fast charge thing. To me, that's revolutionary.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] husker97:
Fast charging is awesome, but I really don't use it. My battery life is so great the it easily lasts me the whole day with moderate usage. I usually end the day with 30+% left. The fast charging is an awesome feature, but i really have no use for it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] masri1987:
Someone was saying having fast charging checked depletes battery quicker. Ain't that some bs?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] FuzzRaven:
Has anyone given any numbers as to how slow / the rate of wireless charging is on this phone? I love fast charging but I want wireless charging as well.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] golfinglenn:
I agree with a couple of these posts. I have moderate use on my phone and usually end the day at 40% or higher. However, I love having spare batteries that I can just pop in and be at 100%. Just ordered 3 plus wall charger for $20 shipped. Hard to beat having 3 full charges at hand if you don't have a chance to plug in for a while.

Battery life is great on this phone........period!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] gcforreal:
I believe most wireless chargers are 1 amp output. The stock wall charger is 2 amp so I'm guessing it would take about 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours to fully charge on wireless,I'm not expert though.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] shpotik:
You'll find it helpful sooner or later trust me:)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] razortaz18:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] husker97:
I do not doubt the usefulness of it, and I know it will come in handy some days. It's just my normals days I have battery to spare.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CZ Eddie:
Folks, I'm just getting started here. Five minutes of Googling and my head is spinning already. Could I get some help with narrowing down what I need to learn?

My goal is to take the CM11 or PA or PAC source and then port custom features/mods from other ROM's over to it. And strip out stuff I don't need/want. Specifically what I want most is to port some Quick Settings Toggle mods from Slim over to a CM based ROM that I like a lot.

Could you help me by pointing me to some the bare learning essentials?

Android 4.4.4 is the goal. I have no plans on going to Android 5 anytime soon.

I'm not a programmer. I've just modded a couple of scripts here and there.

I have a basic familiarity with Linux.

I have VMware for virtual machines.

And I have a Samsung Infuse to play around/learn with.

Thanks!
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] sophisticated_pie:
Throughout the summer the Sharp Aquos was advertised to come to SPRINT, BOOST, and VIRGIN MOBILE. Now with the release of the phone, 2 weeks later, there's no VIRGIN MOBILE Aquos anywhere! Is there anyone with inside info that can tell me why this is? For almost a month on Amazon the phone was for pre-order and was to be released on the 26th of last month. The 26th arrives and the phone immediately changes to SOLD OUT followed now by a UNAVAILABLE message. People in the Amazon message board who pre-ordered the phones early say they arent getting it. Logging onto the Virgin site and there's no info whatsoever about a Sharp phone.

Is SPRINT giving the finger to Virgin and is slowly distancing themselves from them and will just keep BOOST around? Why has Virgin been left in the dark.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] max1c:
This is just a guess, but I believe they simply don't have enough phones at the moment. They have been selling a ton of these. Sales guy at boost store said this was a crazy month and they have been selling out completely. Selling around 30 phones every day. I think it will come to Virgin eventually. But it might take some time.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] poply:
Edit: Nevermind
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] BinaryWork:
It's actually kind of weird. Right now Boost has a promotion which allows consumers to get better plans than Virgin.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmaz121:
Here's the problem. I see Internal Storage as 64Gig called "Internal storage" in Windows 7 of course after the system uses some I have lass but it's the naming I have trouble with. Maybe you Unix guys can help me out here. On Windows 7 64 I see A001/Internal storage/ then all the useable directories. Now what happened was I was trying to take a screen shot to send to a guy and I checked my GalleryKK to look for the pictures. While plugged in to the USB port no pictures showed up in the directory allocated for ScreenshotER. ScreenshotER was set to write the pictures in Sdcard/ScreenshotER directory. Well there is no directory called Sdcard in the Internal storage on windows or the phone or in Root Explorer. So where did it write the pictures? Then I go into Root Explorer to look for the pictures and I see another name being used for Sdcard called "/storage/emulated/0/ScreenshotER" there are my pictures I just took. In Windows 7 Internal storage/ScreenshotER shows no pictures??????? So, I unplug the USB and reboot the phone and go to GalleryKK and there are my pictures. So then I go back to Windows 7 and plug in the USB and Internal storage shows the pictures. Then I go to Outlook 2010 and try to do an insert from Internal storage/ScreenshotER and no pictures. Huhhhh! So then I go back to Windows explorer and copy the pictures from Internal storage/ScreenshotER/wdfffrr.jpg to my hard drive, then back to outlook and insert file and they insert fine so I can send the email. That is just too hard for handling pictures. Can't the names in the different APPs call it the same name so this is not so confusing and what is ADB doing to not update the pictures right away? Is there a ADB just for the One? I used the AndroidSDKSlim to root and load TWRP. I also installed the Microsoft MTP drivers.

Thanks in advance.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyguy126:
"Is there a ADB just for the One?" I don't understand this question. Also, /sdcard is a shortcut for /storage/emulated/0/. Try going into adb shell and doing a manual search with cd and ls commands. Then exit the shell and do an adb pull to retrive your pictures.

I live in Jamaica and a friend brought me a Galaxy S3 i9300. the phone came with a SIM Card from "Simple Mobile"

Whenever i insert a local carrier's SIM inside the phone it asks for Unlock code... HOWEVER... if i insert an

Hi I have been trying to root my Android device.

Maximus Max-909

Android 4.0.4

Software I tried:

Farmaroot

Towelroot ( Doesn't support my device )

KingRoot

Root Genius

mt6589_rooting_pkg

Cydia Impactor (Can't find Driver software Err Msg: Write:No space left)

Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v36 (Method 3, 5)

Note: I Checked with Root Checker if Root worked

I did a factory data reset after I tried each Method

About the driver software:

The driver software is working. I am sure of this because I am a beginner at developing

Android application and I have been running my Soft from eclipse using USB Debugging on my phone.

I also used SnapPea which works fine for connecting my Android to my Computer.

But in the Device Manager it shows my device "YunOS Phone" insted of "Android Phone" (using Windows 8.1 Laptop)

My Driver name is YunOS ACB Interface.

I have been trying this for Almost a week.

I really need some Expert help on this. Can anyone please point to the right direction.

Hi, Thanks :good: for your suggestion. VRoot installed a SuperUser ( Kinguser ), Its English. But when I checked with Root checker it still shows No Root Access. I repeated the whole process. I think I missed a step ( VRoot shows my phone is rooted ).

dont try several tools if you have succeeded with vroot you can damage your device

you can check by typing "su" in a terminal emulator

after you have only to switch chinese supersu by chainfire supersu

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zilveari:
So for the past month I've been noticing issues with my S4. I will pick it up, only to realize that it is off for some reason.

Last week one day I woke up and noticed that it was running in the "high-heat" mode. For some reason it was really warm. And even though I left it on the charger over night it was at around 50% charge, In the time it took me to go to the bathroom and come back to my bed it had lost nearly 5%, and all that i did was check my email and open the facebook app.

Over the past couple weeks I have been noticing that sometimes it uses power faster than it charges.

Each of these issues was resolved by popping the battery. I am only using the stock charger and cord. I have been using Hyperdrive for a little over a year (not unlocked bootloader).

A few minutes ago I picked it up and it was off. I turned it on and it had 1% charge (it had 100% 12 hours ago, and I have barely used it at all today). I am unable to use it. I put it on the charger and it will automatically power on. It will power on to 0% power, then shut down. then it will power up again at 0% and then die again. I have tried popping the battery, but it is not working this time. It is getting very warm around the camera lens while it is trying to charge, I'm also getting that "slow charging" message, even though I'm using the stock charger and cord. I checked the battery and I don't see any bumps or anything, it is completely smooth on all sides.

I have had it since release day, and there is not a single scratch or ding anywhere on it.

I do have the full extended coverage from VZW/Asurion. Can I walk into a VZW store and ask for a replacement battery instead of swapping the phone? I live out in BFE and none of the VZW stores around here have the "tech centers".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Raymondlikesroot:
Hm... I wouldn't expect the battery to go back after a year. I think it could be due to some software bug. Try and do a clean wipe to whatever build that you're on and reinstall hyperdrive with safestrap. If that doesn't fix it, then its probably some issue with your phone.

P.S. If you are going to the VZW store make sure you are on stock touchwiz without root.

Just a quick note..

Be sure that you do not have any apps(ie. Dropbox, G+) that are uploading data(mainly pics) in the background.
