[P3300, MDA Compact III General] DennisCooper:
Hi all

This post is in relation to the 'corrupt 2gb' posting. My 2 week old Orbit has needed to be re-set twice in the last couple weeks so I guess I'm part of the 'forgetful' micro SD card brigade. Having to re-install everything is a PITA.

I was flicking through my PC magazine and saw an advert for HTC P3300 and the inclusion of TT6 as the SatNav solution bundled in.

So that got me thinking, what brand/type of card do those units ship with? the website http://www.europe.htc.com/products/htcp3300.html shows various UK stockists, has anyone bought one like this? and are they experiencing the same?

Are the HTC branded units are having the same issue as 'orbit' owners? if so, then there is a genuine case that the units are not 'fit for purpose' and HTC could well have a situation on their hands. The many many people who are experiencing this 'issue' should go back to the retail outlet where the unit was purchased and put in a note that the unit isn't fit for pupose and is indeed faulty from initial or very early on it's useful operational life and get thier money back. Statutory rights - certainly within the UK, should allow this course of action - however, I'm not saying everyone should and will run out to do this as the handset is very sought after.

Anyone have info or using the HTC branded unit with the TT6 ? please let us know if the same issue exists!

Apologies if this has been included in another thread, if so, I haven't seen it!

I'm very miffed with this issue...!!

Cheers! Dennis! West London UK!

My HTC Artemis was supplied with a 512MB card and the TomTom DVD containing maps for Europe, I have installed just the UK map along with Route 66 nav software and a number of other products - topographical mapping etc - in the 3 plus months I have used the unit I have had no such data corruption - only use the card for storage though nothing else, and allways exit the programs properly (in the case of TTN don't just switch off the device, exit the application first) - the supplied 512MB card is a typical San Disk offering - nothing special - Mike
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Longhair:
I got my P3300 with TT6.02 and had no microSD card - so it was bundled in with the rest of the software. (I should mention that I didn't get the Premium Version). I was allowed 1 free map to download and it wasn't even for the whole country either.

After following along the 2GB corrupt card thread for a while, I got a 1GB Sandisk microSD Ultra II card and I am only using that for storage - notes made with Word Mobile.

The only application I have installed so far is Magic Button - Yet Another Task Manager 2.0.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderstorm20:
Hi guys,

My SP has drastic battery drain, 20% in an hour, with 2g data on. Wifi off. Not sure why. I was on LOCKED BL and installed SLIM KAT 4.4.4, still same issue.

I decided to unlock bootloader and install Custom Kernel

PLease suggest BEST KERNEL AND BEST CUSTOM ROM for battery POINT OF VIEW,

THank you
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nathan rd:
try william kernel v7 :good:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderstorm20:
Thank you bro, which ROM do u suggest. Also Willian v7 is for JB, which one do u suggest fot KIT KAT
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
It's okay to use Williams kernel even if you're on Kitkat. ;) As long as the ROM requires stock kernel, the Williams kernel will work as well.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lex.vr7:
Only you know your situation better than anyone else. I suggest you try out a couple of ROMs and kernel combinations and see which one works best. Also, try installing a minimal Gapps package to reduce battery consumption, such as this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2779598 .

You could also install one of the few custom kernels for XSP and underclock/undervolt it. Be cautious though. ;)

Hit thanks if it helped! Godbless!
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderstorm20:
Can williams kernel be used with Locked bootloader then by any chance :D?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
Based on the thread however, no. :(
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderstorm20:
Which ROM and kernel are you currently using? I will use the same and check performance.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
My bootloader is unlocked though.. Currently running M11 Snapshot of official Cyanogenmod 11. :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderstorm20:
Is this the link of that ROM?

http://xdaforums.com/show...post&t=2599650

If no, please provide link. Thank you very much, what about the kernel are you using Williams?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
The link you posted is a dead link :eek: Here's the link and sorry for not posting it earlier: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2599650

No, I am using the kernel that comes with Cyanogenmod.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderstorm20:
Thank you very much, Will try it this weekend and reply
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
There's a locked bootloader alternative if you want, but if you insist, I wish you good luck! :good::D

Anyone else experience horrible battery life with their remote's "new" batteries? Mine died almost a month after unboxing. Is this normal?!?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] collindv:
I think mine is 3 months old. I haven't had to change batteries yet.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamy:
Are you talking about the batteries that came with it? Those batteries are always crap and last maybe 1/3 of good brand batteries.

Fire TV Remote: Battery Life... Me Too!

I'm have the same problem. I recently bought a new pack of Durecell coppertop AAA, and they lasted 5 days, and I got a message saying my batteries are running extremely low. I use my AFTV exclusively for XBMC. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

My "new" from the box Amazon batteries only lasted 1 week before I got the on screen message to replace :crying: I've changed to a set of cheap Lidl batteries, so far they've lasted longer than the originals.

Yes, i've updated my remote to the latest version and I've been using the batteries that came with it for about a month now. Which reminds me, better pick up a package of triple AAA's...

Battery problem

I am having a bizarre problem with the Amazon Fire TV Remote batteries. I put in Energizer batteries and they last about 2-3 days before dying. I am on my 3rd set of batteries after about 8 days of owning this device. I think I have a defective remote somehow. :confused:

EDIT: I returned the damn thing to Staples and got another one.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ossidon:
Edit: That did not help. I am on my 3rd set of batteries in less than a month of opening the fire TV. At this rate, I better stock on AAA batteries. I am on the latest prerooted Firmware.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twqwctf:
I had exchanged by FireTV at Staples for another one. The batteries were dying in 2-3 days only. Yikes. The new one doesn't have this issue yet anyway. If anyone is having issues where their FireTV remote is eating batteries really fast, I suggest return/exchange.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cahrens:
I just went through 4 sets of Energizer AAA batteries. It dies in about 2-3 days. I contacted support, and all they can do is replace everything. I spent like two days setting a bunch of stuff up on the Fire TV. So I just ordered another remote. When it arrives, I'll just package up the broken remote and return it for a refund. I hope the problem is on the remote side and not on the Fire TV itself somehow draining the remote. The remote was updated to the latest firmware, and it still drained the batteries. I paired the Fire TV with my Fire Stick remote, and apparently, the Fire Stick Remote doesn't have any firmware. I'm not an electrical engineer or anything, actually I am, but I'm guessing that the mic might be draining the battery. Our kids are loud and they make noise all freaking day. So the remote is probably trying to process all the gibberish from the kids all day long. I might just put some electrical tape to cover up the mic, and see if that makes a difference.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lisa19643:

I have had to put knew batteries in the remote every other day if use. Over the holidays, each evening I tried to use it required new batteries. I believe the box never actually turns off so the remote continuously searches and waits for a command. There is no on off button on the box. It may be a design flaw. Last evening I removed the remote batteries. I might have to do this each time I'm finished watching for the day. Annoying!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxy Loxy:
Batteries and remote

All of a sudden, I too seem to ahve that problem. In fact I put in fresh and those lasted about 1/2 hour. Mayabe it was the batteries but now I have a new set. I agree with one person.. think it might be a bad remote.?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedro1007:
I think everyone is most probably experiencing exactly what I've experienced, it's not that the batteries are dying from you take one out and then put it back in the remote then works. I have 3 fire boxes and all three remotes do this, can be within minutes of using, can be days. No idea why this is happening but sounds like this could be an on going problem.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyder:
2 weeks ago I changed the batteries out of my remote, the ones that came with the remote when I got it like what, almost 2 years now? But there has been like 2 or 3 times I did have to take the batteries out and put them back in to get the remote working/recognized by my FireTV 1. So it has happened to me, but not very often.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bandusix:
donload the remote app and you save the battery! app called CetusPlay, you can find it on google play store,and there is another on called wukong tv remote, but know it seems not working in the mouse.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilliman:
We have two Fire TV boxes and two voice remotes. They both have worked fine, except the one remote has recently started chewing through good quality alcaline batteries within 1-2 weeks at the most. The other remote is fine.

Is this a firmware issue on the remote? With so many people complaining for so many years it must have come to Amazon's attention ?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobJ7:
I'm having battery issues similar to many of those above, but I also have a good battery tester, and it indicates the batteries are still full! If I put them back in, they work fine for awhile, sometimes shorter sometimes longer. There appears to be a problem with the battery detection circuitry, that will often report "low batteries", falsely. I only hope that those of you that were going through a lot of batteries did not throw those batteries out, because I strongly suspect they were perfectly fine, completely full!

I can also report that the remote cannot use rechargeable batteries, regrettably, requires alkalines. Once you are hooked on Eneloops, you hope never to have to buy another battery in your lifetime.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilliman:
None of that. A true battery's charge / remaining capacity is determined on circuit not off. We have two amazon remotes and many others we use rechargeable AAAs and the amazon remotes drain the batteries faster than anything else we tend to pull them out at night to save them. And its random when the ****ty amazon remote will decide to drain a battery. It definitely has a serious bug and when it hits the batteries drain within hours. Other times they last many days. So we just recharge them when needed.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobJ7:
Then it would appear my remote is not behaving like your remotes, although it is displaying very similar symptoms as many others here. It may be defective. I have never been able to detect any significant battery drain. Even after well over a year of use, the original batteries are only down a third, and if I put them back in, they still work for awhile, not much worse than brand new top of the line alkalines. The back of my remote has gotten rather loose from so many times pulling and reinserting the batteries.

I'll have to try again with rechargeables. I've tried twice and could not get the slightest response, until I put the original batteries back in.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilliman:
Are we still talking about the Amazon Fire TV remote? As you can see from an internet search, there are thousands of people complaining of undue battery drain.

I have two of those remotes, and have observed that the one in the living room is much kinder to the batteries than the one in the bedroom. I'd say the one in the living room is almost "normal".

The one in the bedroom sometimes lasts 2-3 weeks or more, other times it needs a change in 2-3 days! There is no rhyme or reason.

Because they kill the batteries so, we now are using rechargeables. Again, the controls work perfectly with rechargeables.

Did you know that the control takes some time to "boot up". It may appear that it is dead, but in fact it is "booting". You need to wait some time after re-inserting batteries.

The controls are "intelligent" and run firmware (which I presume is also upgradeable). Therefore I presume that there are various combinations of models/versions and firmware versions that suffer a bug that causes a high battery drain. What can drain so much battery in that remote? Maybe the transmitter does. Maybe the control goes on transmitting all night even though no one is pressing any buttons, and that would drain the battery. Just guessing.

I think Amazon are completely silent on the subject. My wife regularly removes the batteries before falling asleep.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RSG0123:
Remote Reset

In case any one is interested, for the fire stick voice remote, there is a factory reset sequence for the remote 3 buttons at the same time menu + return + left(9pm on the circle) for at least 15 seconds. After this I had to use the remote app on my phone to "add remote" on the device to get it to work again.. we'll see how the battery life is now.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pixelbrusher:
I am having the same problem... batteries are running out in 1 week any solutions yet?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparks100:
I have an Amazon Fire TV-2nd gen. and for the last few months the remote would stop working after new batteries were in a short time, from 2 to 5 days. I first thought the batteries were being drained but in checking the batteries voltage found that they had a lot of life left, measuring 1.46 Volts. (New fresh Duracell 1.54 Volts). When I inserted the same batteries the remote worked normally for a few days. The next time the remote quit I just removed ONE battery and reinserted it. The remote again worked normally. I also tried 2 rechargeable Eneloops (1.3 volts) in my remote and they worked for several days.

Thanks to RobJ7 on this thread who wrote, "There appears to be a problem with the battery detection circuitry, that will often report "low batteries", falsely. I only hope that those of you that were going through a lot of batteries did not throw those batteries out, because I strongly suspect they were perfectly fine, completely full!" I think he is right on track.

I recently got a nexus 5 and i intsalled the lollipop developer preview .. but then that wiped everything on my internal storage as well :/ so im just wondering if i go to TWRP and wipe data will that wipe my internal storage again ? (sicne nexus 5 does not use an SD Caard) and so will i have to backup all my SD card data before wiping data ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steven 1:
Well I'm using clockworkmod recovery but I'm pretty sure twrp just wipes your cache and data plus factory resets your phone when you hit the wipe option... You won't lose photos or music etc etc as long as you do not wipe internal storage or create a partition on your phone

so far wat i did : reinstalld firmware

rooted. But still not working.

please give me some suggestions.
[General Questions and Answers] pokrajac:
Could be a hardware fault, for example the wires that are connecting the antenna to the mainboard could be loose, it would explain why the phone has good signal while not moving but looses it when it's moved around. You should take it to service, or if you're comfortable with that, open it up and check by yourself.
