[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lj26ft:
I bought a Meizu MX4 MT6595 OCta Core model M641 Flyme OS 4.0.2U , Thought it would be great purchase. It seems I was unprepared for how new this phone is and the lack of information on how to optimize it for a US user. I cant update the OS to the Newer version of Flyme OS , though I would prefer to replace the OS with something US friendly. ALso cant install anything because the package installer crashes with everything. I have purchase protection on the phone for one more week, should I just return the phone? Or will their be ROM's available soon to replace FLyme? I like to learn technology is it possible for a novice to learn how to hack a phone and port an available ROM onto a Chinese phone? Or is this something extremely difficult and time consuming? Really just looking for some advice from the informed/ knowledgeable.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
China devices are the worst to learn on as there is no kernel source for the device and moat avoid these devices. So you will have to take it on yourself if you want something. Yes it is time consuming and will have a learning curve.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e1to:
Just got the phone and love it..

You should be able to update Flyme by finding 'upgrade' in your app drawer, but even after the upgrade its just a bit better.

The most current version is 4.0.3i

Not a big fan of Flyme ,I find it very buggy.

Im hoping for a cm rom of some sort. Would love to see something like the version on the onePlus .

LTE works with Rogers and Bell in Canada..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lj26ft:
I like the phone as well I have tried the button in the panel to upgrade click it says android settings com has stopped, tried turning it off and upgrading from zip with zip stored in root directory, got nothing. Tried 4.0.3A ,4.0.3i, 4.03U also and everytime it says corrupted. My firmware version is 4.0.2 U . Tried lots of different ways to try and get google services on it and nothing happens. SOme apps from the app store installed like facebook and evernote. So kinda of feeling a little silly about purchasing this phone because the price vs hardware was spectacular. But I cant get everything I want to use on it. Looking for maybe some trouble shooting from experienced users or reassurance that i didnt just make a retarded mistake purchasing a phone i wont ever be able to use an i should just wait until developer community tackles these problems. Though dont know if that will matter if I can never update the thing. I am using windows 8 could could that be causing issues with upgrading my phone over the wire? Or should I try a .bin file ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
I hate to say it but your gonna be out of luck. Developers dont touch these devices. They seldom follow the GPL or have unlocked bootloaders and as they are mainly sold in China which doesnt have agreements set up with google in alot of places it is really a pain to get google services running. We have a forum for it but it has been long dead.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lj26ft:
Well ill definitely try returning it then go with something a little closer to home. The Hardware vs price sucked me into buying it . What is a good deal on a phone right now? XDA developers favorite phone ? easiest to learn best one to modify. In hindsight probably should have tried finding this forum first rather than after I put money down on a phone but live and learn.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e1to:
Give this a try.. crap...not letting me post a link...

google 'upgrading flyme to 4.0.3i' and the first link will give you some clear instruction and alternatives to get you going
[Moto 360] kloan:
I'll never use it as a music player, that's just way too impractical (battery life), however I was thinking it'd be great if it could be synced with a car stereo with bluetooth so that while using the GPS feature, we could actually hear the voice directions.

Probably a long shot...
[Moto 360] slaydog:
As long as your phone is hooked up to the Bluetooth in your car, you will be able to hear the navigation directions.

You don't even have to pull the phone out of your pocket, and the watch will still vibrate and show the turns
[Moto 360] kloan:
No way, really?! So I can get directions by speaking "ok, google" to my 360, and as long as my phone is synced to my car stereo, I'll be able to hear navigation directions? That's really cool!

Thanks :)
[Moto 360] slaydog:
Yeah, remember your phone is doing all the work, your watch is just telling it what to do and showing the notifications, so it will run the program on your phone with the screen off...

You can also tell it to play a particular song on the phone and it will play through the speakers. And when you say "OK Google", it mutes the sound so it can hear you talk...

[Amazon Fire Phone] dragolas13:
DISCLAIMER: THIS METHOD WORKS ON THE FIRE TV, AND MAY NOT WORK FOR THE FIRE PHONE. IT HAS WORKED FOR ME, BUT I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO ANY DEVICES. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I searched around and couldn't find a way to do this on my own. Some threads suggest deleting system files to get this to work, but I found you can disable OTA updates on the Fire Phone the same way you can with the Fire TV.

You need to have root access to the phone, which requires both:

A) Downgrading your phone to 3.5.0, and installing the ADB. Which you can read about in the first part of B1ackByte's guide HERE.

B) Using towelroot to get root access HERE (Click the symbol, download the apk and run it.)

After you have the ADB and drivers installed on your system, and your phone has been downgraded to 3.5.0, you MUST choose

"Wipe Data and Factory Reset" in the recovery menu before rebooting your phone. If you do not, you can get a couple glitches and hangs... nothing major, but you'll still have to boot into recovery to do the wipe and finish the process.

After you're downgraded, rebooted, and rooted... Install the latest version of SuperSu from HERE then REBOOT AGAIN!!! If you don't, SuperSu might not take over properly.

Open CMD or Command prompt as an administrator, and navigate to where you have the adb.exe, then issue these commands:

Your phone will then ask you to grand permissions to the adb console, click "grant" or "accept" (Depending on the version of SuperSU you have.)

Then Type:

You should see an output message that says "Package com.amazon.dcp new state: disabled"

And Voila! OTA updates are turned off.

EDIT: I've also read a couple guides about how people have used the Fire HD FirstAide package to install google apps and maintain root, but that process didn't work for me. The Fire Phone (or mine, at least) doesn't come with busybox, and the FirstAide script relies on busybox. You can manually install busybox into the system files of the Fire Phone and give it system permissions, but that is outside the scope of this tutorial.

Also, even after manually installing busybox and granting root permissions to the adb shell running the commands, the script still fails to copy some files because the filesystem isn't EXACTLY the same as the Fire HD. (I may be wrong on this, but I just couldn't get the process to work due to some missing folders on my end.)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] HHumbert:
I've searched around and I have not been able to find the functionality that duplicated the beloved "TreoCaps" program. The TreoCaps program, in turn, on the Treo650, emulated the BlackBerry input style whereby when you pressed a key on the keyboard for a certain length of time, it would insert the capitalized version of the key you were pressing. Hold it for still longer and you'd get the "Symbol-shifted" version of the letter (i.e., "T" would map to "#" on the Hermes keyboard).

Is there any chance a competent (and I know that there are a lot of them here) programmer be able to create such a utility? It would also help in the migration of BlackBerry users to WM5, would help us who used this feature on the Treo650's and it's just a faster way to use a hard keyboard.

Anyone else think that this might be handy?

Didn't you ask this before, late last year?

Ninja1
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] HHumbert:
No, actually back then, I asked if such a program was available. I guess that's an implicit request, but in my mind, I was asking if there was one available.

Hate to spam (and don't actually think that I was), but I wanted to be sure that I was explicit in my request. Forums can be tediously difficult to communicate on if you're not explicit. I can delete the other thread if that'll clean things up.... By now, it's clear, there is no such utility.

-Humbert
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Ninja1:
Actually there is, it's called QCaps. Unfortunately it is device specific and only works on the Moto Q. The developer is working on Blackjack and Treo versions.

Ninja1
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] HHumbert:
Hi Ninja1 --

That's great information, actually. Now I can look for the author's contact info and ask him if he's thinking about doing one for the Hermes.... QCaps. Cool.

Thanks,

So is there no GPS toggle in Samsung Galaxy S5 as well, replaced by Location toggle instead?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkfunnyguy:
I watched a Samsung Galaxy S5 through Youtube and yes same there there is now Location Toggle and no GPS toggle.

So the Galaxy S4 I got must be newer with more latest 4.4.2 firmware than older Galaxy S4 from last year because I watched a video on Youtube again with Galaxy S4 being updated to Kitkat 4.4.2 and still retained GPS toggle

I have attached a picture.

Maybe I should flash older kitkat 4.4.2 version with GPS toggle in it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadowdh:
nope its not there, only the location toggle which does NOT switch on gps but location services which I do NOT want... when using google maps it asks if you want to switch on the location services... not gps... havent been able to get my nav software to work yet (copilot) for some reason it just cuts out...

I`m looking for same... I used with Galaxy S4 Active GPS on/off. Unfortunate both S4 and S5 got direct button for "Location" not for GPS only.

I need to keep "network location service always on" so Smart Wifi can work and on/off only GPS when needed for navigation.

Any ideas appreciated... Looks like I will find some GPS widget...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Canyon30:
I just got an S5 and was also disappointed to discover they bundled Locations Services with GPS. Like you I also want to leave network location services on but only use GPS when navigating.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to root my Telus HTC Desire HD. I'm trying to go through the HTCDev website, and it needs an hboot upgrade. I run the RUU, and it is actually a downgrade.

I get error code 191, ROM not supported. Apparently I will get a message that my ROM is not supported, but there will be an update soon that will be supported.

This is an older phone, so I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't one. I'm not sure what I should do here.

Any help would be very appreciated.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgenova:
Is it possible to have HTC motion launch and dot view on a CM based ROM? Or do I have to have a GPE based ROM to have those options.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobbi lim:
GPE has all these options whereas for AOSP it really depends. Let's take CM for eg, though it doesn't (officially) has motion launch, EasyAccessService.apk is included in the rom that allows the rom to have d2w feature. CM also supports the dot case as notifications (eg whatsapp) comes in, double tap the case and it shows the icon.

Some AOSP rom have support for the dot case whereas some doesn't. If you want a bug-free experience than I will suggest that you flash GPE as it does not have bugs and addon with GravityBox (for tweaks)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Sher The Love:
I just got my note today and was excited to try out the smart select feature. Unfortunately, if you try and drop what you've selected into a text box on the top of the screen, the delete option gets in the way and doesn't allow you to finish dragging. Any work around for this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] icexshinigami:
What are you trying to do exactly and what app is that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Sher The Love:
When you hover the Spen over the screen and click the button, smart select is one of the options. You can crop an area on the screen and it will do text recognition. It then produces a floating bubble that you can drag and drop into a text field; however, once you start dragging the floating bubble, the top of the screen becomes the place to drag and delete the bubble, just like dragging an icon to delete on your home screen. So, having the delete box on the top of the screen renders the feature useless for any text field on the top of the screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] icexshinigami:
Ah I see.

I believe you are misunderstanding how to use the smart select feature.

That icon is not text, it is a collection of selections you took. To turn a selection into text there is a little T in the corner of the selection. (It can do fun things if your selection is phone numbers, addresses etc)

If I assume correctly you were trying to use smart select in place of highlighting copy and paste into a search bar.

If this is true then you can just highlight normally hold spen button drag across text you want and a bar with options will appear one of them is a search option that will auto search the selected text.

Some apps don't support spen highlight feature ex. firefox in which case you can highlight traditionally with a tap and hold spen(or finger) on screen and it will display the selection arrows for you to select, an options bar to do the same as above will appear.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Sher The Love:
Thanks for the reply. I didn't notice that little "T" after doing the smart select. Wish I was still able to drag it in, but the copy and paste thing works too.
