Hi!

Can i use this on i9505 with CM11 rom? Im going to try googy kernel from CM stock kernel.

Thanks!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwichhart:
3.4.106-Alucard PWR-CORE

Will this work with the Alucard kernel that's flashed with CM 12.1? I ran into some issues with overhearing, battery drain, lag and freezing, while others didn't report these problems. I was running Dan's GPE with Googy's kernel final version on my i9505 before I flashed.

I'm no pro but I get the feeling that these type of problems are kernel related. So is it possible to run this script, them reflash the kernel on 5.1? Very interested in what ideas people might have.

[General Questions and Answers] Jangla:
A little background will probably help here; I've long been frustrated that if you have your music in the Google Music app and pin it to your device, Google obfuscate it in such a way that other applications can't access that music. Why is this annoying? Because it forces you to make choices you probably wouldn't otherwise and can end up with you having to clog up your internal memory with all your music when it would make far more sense to have it all on your external SD card where all apps can access it. Of course Google made another security decision that any app that had data on the SD card had it in it's own folder, almost completely scuppering the concept of having a shared Music folder on an external SD.

So I came up with a plan;

- When I purchase new music, I'll drop it into a folder on my laptop and Google Music Manager will sync that up to my account so it's available in the cloud and as a backup. No fuss there.

- BitTorrent Sync will then take care of syncing it to a folder on my phone's SD card and any other devices that take my fancy (can't have it in a folder on the root of the SD card called Music - Google won't allow apps to store they files that way so it goes in something like /com.bittorrentsync/data/Music etc).

- Create a symlink from the internal Music folder to the bittorrent Music folder and Hey Presto!

My initial expectation was that all apps *apart* from Google Music would be able to see those files and for the time being, I would have been happy enough with that - better that 99% of potential apps work nicely than only 1%.

So I've done all the above - I had to use FolderMount to do the symlink as I'm not a linux pro :)

However, the odd thing is that the exact opposite of my expectation has happened. Google Music can see the files (when you set "Downloaded only" in the Google Music app), other music apps can't! So far I've only tried DoubleTwist and DJay2 but neither can see anything and neither have a setting to change where they scan for media.

So I guess my question is - is it even possible to have all apps get their Music from a single resource on the external SD card, whether using a symlink or otherwise? Is there anything I could have done better? Any other advice?

EDIT: I'm running Android 4.4.4 on an LG G3 which is rooted to allow me to run FolderMount

EDIT 2: Thanks to this page: https://www.doubletwist.com/help/qu...nges-to-sd-card-support-in-android-44-kitkat/

I thought I had everything working. The DoubleTwist page describes how to completely clean the AMS database and force a reindex. One reboot and a few minutes of waiting and all apps have access to my symlinked folder!!! However, Google Music and DoubleTwist are not showing quite the same number of tracks and adding new tracks to the sync'd folder doesn't seems to force and update of the media DB.

So, is this lofty goal even possible? I find it very odd that Android would have such a security requirement that essentially made it impossible for apps to be able to access a centralised resource of music files on the external SD card.

[T-Mobile LG G3] tribalartgod:
So like myself, many of you have rooted, but still don't have a recovery, or one didn't install properly.

Well, I'm here to help!

For those that don't know, Flashify is a program from the Play Store that rooted users can use to install a custom recovery. In this case, it's TWRP.

The problem: At the time of this post, Flashify does not see any current recovery files for our device.

The solution: We make it see the recovery!

So, on to the goodies...

Now that you have the required items and are ready to go, the hard part is done... Now let's get that recovery installed for you.

You should now have a working TWRP recovery installed on your device.

Yes, if you downloaded directly to your device. Personally, I like to download on the PC, then move it that way, but everyone has their own preferences.

Hi, I have the latest Kindle Fire HDX 7" and am having problems downloading and saving youtube videos to it. I have downloaded different apps but to no avail. The latest was Droid Youtube video downloader. This worked fine to download but then when I try to view the videos it tells me "Can't play this video".

[LG Optimus L90] fletchb1:
Hi,

Just got a new LG L90 and wanted to back it up. On my old phone, I used TB and it worked ok most of the time.

But this newer version only backs up to the internal memory which is a no-no. After I discovered that it was defaulting to internal memory, I moved the directory to the sd card, went into prefs and changed it to the sd card. I figured something was wrong when TB claimed there were no backup files in the directory when clearly there were.

But I did a backup anyway, pointing to the SD card, yet it went right back into internal memory.

No error messages, just doesn't work.

Fixable, or get something more modern?

Thanks.
[LG Optimus L90] fletchb1:
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, same thing. I looked closer and found out what is going wrong. It is defaulting to /mnt/sd but that is pointing to internal memory. I am not sure if this is a LG or Android problem but anyway, I found the real location but it won't let me select it for some reason. Did kitkat move away from /mnt locations? I am going to keep digging .. I don't know android that well but know general linux and /mnt was used for years.
[LG Optimus L90] shinobisoft:
Google introduced new security features in KitKat. Apps are no longer allowed external sdcard access without some kind of patch. I use, with CM11 and also LG Stock, Xposed framework with 3 other modules. They are "HandleExternalStorage", "KitKat SD Card Full Access", and "XInternalSD". I also use Link2SD to help conserve user data space.
[LG Optimus L90] fletchb1:
Thanks..I did some reading and stumbled apon this info. Surprised TB is not away of the issue though. I found something in the playstore that changes permissions and now it is working.

I guess I need to relearn the newer androids as I am coming from 2.3

Thanks again.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohmegosh:
UK model D855 with 4.4.2 v10h.

I notice that Wifi keeps getting disconnected when on a (3G?) call. I get notifications that the wireless is not responding, I get dropped to 3g data which works ok, but also sometimes it works absolutely fine and wifi stays active.

Any ideas on a) is it just me and b) troubleshooting tips if it is?

Addendum: when not on a call I have a 5x5 wifi signal. It also happens at home and at work on different wifi networks (Asus vs Cisco enterprise).

I have the Wi-Fi drop issues on my G3 as well. But sometimes, when I turn WiFi Off, and back on again, it just forgets every network that I was ever connected to. LG Does not know how to fix this problem, and resetting the phone does not seem to help either. Maybe it'll be fixed in a software update.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Radium82:
Hello

I want to buy a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 , 2014 edition tablet . I live in China and most of the devices blocked the Google Play app.. I have read that the only way to install it is by flashing it with Odin.

If i flash it will i still have the Samsung TouchWizz, Air Commander, S Finder and other specific designed features for the S pen?

Thanks !
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Radium82:
After reading some more about the subject i found some answers. It seems that by flashing i can install an european version of the OS which

will avoid any other issues with google apps. It also means i can still have the same original features of the tablet.

What about the updates? When Samsung releases a new update i can install it from their oficial website?

I have also read that by rooting/flashing you can damage or make it unusable How is this possible and how risky it is?

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kandelai:
Question here. I was doing some digging. I should receive my Z3 compact phone today. I read that both it and the Z3 phones do not offer band 12. I currently use Straight Talk running off the AT&T bands. Apparently, in 2013 AT&T announced that they picked up band 12. Here is the breakdown of bands used between AT&T and TMO;

AT&T:

4G-LTE Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 17, 20, and 29

4G HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul

3G - UMTS 850/1900/2100MHz

GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900MHz

T-Mobile:

Quad Band GSM; UMTS: Band I (2100), Band II (1900), Band IV (1700/2100), Band V (850); LTE: 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 17

Is the lack of band 12 causing any issues with Z3/Z3C users using AT&T?

Hi guys,

I just received a few hours ago my Nexus 9 and I checked both, Slimport and MHL but doesn't work. The Slimport device works fine with my Nexus 5 and my TV but the Nexus 9 doesn't work.

Cheers.

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Molnar2014:
I'm very disappointed with this issue...

Maybe could be a problem with the inside configuration of my Slimport, I had notice that some Slimport works fine in some devices but doesn't work in others due changes inside micro usb port (different cable connections).

But still.... In my Nexus 5 the Slimport works absolutely fine....
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a user:
somehow it seems you hit the nail. i was very waiting for the nexus 9 and i am so disapointed what i see about it that it makes me really sad. this device is so full of wrong decisions, irrational design flaws and build quality issues that i am nearly speachless. and then it is quite expensive for the few it offers.

it is quite "interesting" that the nexus 6 PHONE gets 3GB ram, upto 64GB rom and the 64bit os nexus 9 only 2GB and a zram swap using 512MB to gain a little bit by compression >.> and then it seems to have some issues with otg, lack of micro hdmi or slimport etc.

i don't get it. what's the point htc? trying to debut as the worst nexus manufactor ever?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
Terrible. This is the final nail in the coffin for my "should I get the Nexus 9" decision. Glad I got the Shield Tablet at release and will stick with that for a while now, probably until Nvidia release their next tab.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NexusPenguin:
Hi guys,

So if I get everything right that means : the new Nexus 9 doesn't have wireless charging. It doesn't have support for MHL nor SlimPort.

OK : maybe it's really handy with a Chromecast key... but that's a foul limitation.

Chromecast simply does not work when you have no Wi-Fi.

I'm a professor.

I teach at University.

I want to be able to show .ppt presentations to my students.

But I don't always have a network, or the LP to the University network.

So, I just can't do it ? While I coudl do it with my Nexus 7 2012 ?

That is a huge step backwards... and I think for that simple reason I won't get the Nexus 9 but will try to find a nice N7 2013 LTE instead...

Chances are, I'll have more functionnality and pay less than the half !

The real sad thing about that is that the "Nexus Legend" is vanishing... Not fading, but melting like a snowflake in August !

Bye Bye Nexus... Loved the N4, loved the N7 2012, loved the N5...

Regards.

Likely just not a popular thing to have. I have a slimport cable that i just never used for the past year once I got chromecast. Now i understand I'm not a professor with that specific need. if that's a deal breaker I'd just return it get a 2013 N7 and spend the $300 you save on something else. maybe a shield tablet.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike:
When I text a screenshot it comes through very blurry. I am able to see it when I click on the screenshot image preview in the text messaging itself and the receiver gets the same blurry image. Both on Stock 38R and SaberMadhi2.9 this has been an issue. I assume it must be 100% software related as the screenshots appear fine via gallery. They only become blurry when sent. Any ideas?

Attached is a test image I sent a friend. Upon clicking the then sent image this is what I see

Edit: a friend says it probably has something to do with MMS compression. I can't seem to find a setting to change the sizing of compression. Never had this issue on my s4 and only in the past week have I made the switch to the OnePlus One so any help on this would be appreciated

Sent from my OnePlus One
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aavion:
MMS have fixed maximum message sizes (around 300kb). so there is no way for images bigger than 300kb to be sent via MMS without compression. This is not a changable setting somewhere, as these limits are set by the network operators.

But you use a smartphone. Why MMS when you could simply use Email or instant messaging?

Sounds like downsampling on the phones end to me. Looks like it was downsampled to an acceptable resolution for mms transport. Consider yourself lucky though, i came from a nexus 5 and it wouldnt alter any of my mms' but my recipients would tell me they got carrier errors saying the image was too big to download. Try using hangouts for MMS as it doesn't resize your stuff, beware though your recipient will probably not get it due to SMS size constraints (YMMV not all carriers are created equally)
