[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
I don't know about the others, but I've been able to flash the OTA zip file in TWRP even with adaway having changed my hosts file (this is when I updated to 4.4.4). I guess the OTA doesn't care about the hosts file being different. But XPosed for sure will cause issues - have to rollback the changes from within XPosed (don't uninstall XPosed directly)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Not sure if hosts file needs reverting. OTA checks other files. It would make sense to revert it.

Super su adds files. Doesn't block ota as already explained in ota help-desk.

If you're rooted, just flash a ROM.zip as per my.link in my signature
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deusfaux:
If there were no issues caused by rooted apps, why not just apply the OTA ? Getting root back is super easy, no?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Or you could just download and flash rather than worrying about if an OTA will work.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deusfaux:
Download and flash what? Factory images?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deusfaux:
1. I had signatures turned off because this forum as a whole is gross to read with them on. They take up more space that the actual posts. So referring to them instead of simply copy pasting what's in them is good practice for all the users that don't ever see them.

2. So the link in question is to a thread, not to any .zip, and the OP of the link talks about the .zips coming rather than linking to one. Great.

3. It's a thread I'd already seen, and posted in, without a reply. Also the OP has a seriously crappy attitude in it, real elitist and narrow minded about his opinions.

I'll copy paste my question:

" OP doesn't seem to explain why using an OTA is not ideal in a case like mine

stock, rooted.

So why wouldn't I want to use the OTA to update everything, and prevent a wipe? Because I have to re-root after which takes all of a couple minutes? That's how I've done it all along the Nexus line so far. I don't see any great waste of time or explanation why it's a poor route to take"

Okay. I just found out that :) But will they improve my "cell connection"? If yes, then I want to flash them. But then there is this question - do I just simply flash them via TWRP (multiROM mod)?

They may make it better. They may make it worse.

You can flash them via fastboot or you can download flashable zips

I have the VS980, i got it with the 4.2.2. When i wanted to update the software, i encountered problems with the OTA and with installing the Assistant software. (generally, it wouldn't let me do either one.)

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Medved77:
Hi,

Using a N910F with T-Mobile UK, default APN settings for EE. The phone was sold by O2.

I'm having a hard time maintaining a connection to the HSDPA network when out and about, far more so than with my previous phone with the same carrier in the same places. The signal will often show as full whereas the connection isn't established (based on having the 2 arrows highlighted) under the H icon. Once the connection is dropped it takes a long time to re-establish.

I've searched and read about other users having poor reception quality but this seems to be a different issue to the one I'm trying to resolve.

I haven't seen any alternative radios available for this phone yet so not sure if I just need to wait a while. If anyone has working APN settings for T-Mobile UK and can share them that would be really helpful.

Thanks for your advice!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] nabbasi:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fnair:
Yeah, it's still on 4.4.2... Went from NE1 to NI2

Has this update been out for a while and I just missed it?

If so, how long ago was this released? Changelog?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RockRatt:
Go back and try another update and see if it finds anything else. Since they are PATCHED updates at the approx 300mb size. So you could not just jump from a 4.2.2 to let's say 4.4.4. You would need to increment from 4.2.2 to 4.3 to 4.4.3 to 4.4.2 (IF you didn't flash the update zip in stock recovery rather than taking ota's).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fnair:
Tried to check for another update. Says that the latest is installed.

Found that NI2 was released in October (had missed it). Anyone know what was changed?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] andyismilesaway:
Hi all,

At Uni im looking to create a Automotive Data logger, incorporating GPS and using WM PDAs as some of the interface.

I wonder if anyone knows of a GPS forum or a piece of SW to simulate the car and thus output location data to the input of a GPS emulator instead of me driving round tirelessly to demonstrate the logging SW.

Any thoughts?

Cheers in advance
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ivorh:
The GPS data is basically just a one way feed of serial strings. NMEA data. Just capture a load of data from a GPS and feed it back through for testing.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NickM_27:
I know the nexus player has usb, so the controller can be plugged in, however im not sure if it will work wirelessly or even at all for that matter. I am planning on buying a nexus player, and want to see if i can skip out on buying a controller for it.

Thanks
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elrondolio:
The PS3 controller can be used on most any other rooted android device if you use the Sixaxis Controller app from the Play store. This does require root, however, so we'll have to wait for root before verifying that the PS3 controller will indeed work on the NP. I am near certain it will since it works great on the Nexus 7 and 10.

Once we have root, we can verify support with this checker app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscompatibilitychecker

If it says yes, you'd purchase and install this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en

I doubt there'd be a leanback interface for the app before root comes, but it'd most likely work as is.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandon_edge1994:
The Sixaxis Controller app for Android doesn't seem to work with Android 5.0 anymore.

I tried it with my Nexus 7 (2012) running rooted stock 5.0, using SuperSU 2.23, and it errors out.

Looks like it's gonna have to be updated for Lollipop, so it might be a no-go for the Nexus Player for a while.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandon_edge1994:
The sixaxis controller app just got updated to support lollipop, so I'm gonna try it tonight and I'll report back.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggrammer:

After pairing, what can you use your Nexus 7 as?
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandon_edge1994:
Oh. I just used my Nexus 7 to pair the controller with the Nexus Player. I didn't pair the Nexus 7 with the Nexus Player. I actually tried to do that, but I couldn't get the Nexus player to recognize the Nexus 7.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggrammer:
Grabbed a dualshock 4 ps4 controller today during BF sale. Paired with Nexus Player like a champ, haven't had time to check the touchpad functionality though but I am enjoying this controller for my gaming. I am going to try to pair both the DS3 and DS4 and see how they work together
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaykresge:
To clarify, does the DS4 pair with the NP out of the box, or does it require root and an app? As dumb as this question sounds, my understanding is that the DS4 pairs with Bluetooth enabled PCs much more easily than the DS3 did, so I'm wondering if Android treats it any differently.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggrammer:
[YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE]

Truth be told I didn't even try it straight to the NP I used sixaxis right away. It works great. The new sixaxis app sometimes finds my DS3 as a fake controller other times it works fine but the DS4 always pops in fine. the touchpad is tweaky at best so i tend not to use it but this will be extremely handy once it is fixed properly.

Just tried it straight Bluetooth. The NP sees it as a Bluetooth controller but fails at pairing it. Tried multiple times but the NP just hangs. I really wish the Bluetooth stack in Android would finally support these devices (DS4, wiimotes, etc) properly...
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaykresge:
I'm not sure that's a failing of Android. It's Nintendo/Sony using proprietary software with their hardware. Windows won't recognize them 100% without 3rd party software as well, as far as I remember.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggrammer:
The android bluetooth stack has gone through a few changes over the last couple of version which have wreaked havoc on third party accessories.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaykresge:
While this is correct, it doesn't change the fact that Nintendo and Sony use proprietary software with their hardware, thus negating whatever bluetooth stack is being used.

That said, prior to Android 4.3, the Bluetooth stack used on your Android device was up to the OEM, and it differed from device to device. With Android 4.3, Google told OEMs which BT stack to use. This is to help with compatibility and consistency.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Konstigt:
I read in another thread that you cannot have both sixaxis (for PS3 / PS4 controller etc) and the remote working at the same time. Wonder if anything can be done about that?
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggrammer:
The wii remote doesn't use "proprietary software" that negates the bluetooth stack. it connects to pc bluetooth stacks fine. in fact android can detect the wii remote it just won't pair with it. cyanogen had actually included support for wii remotes in CM11 as long as your kernel supports wiimotes (most kernels just a downported driver).

This article http://lwn.net/Articles/597293/

has some interesting info on the bluetooth stack change.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Munkee915:
I am able to pair my DS4 with with my Droid Turbo running 4.4.4 w/ no 3rd party software. Although it could be possible that Motorola modified the BT stack to allow this? It also paired w/ my old OPO and N5 both running CM11s. It would not pair w/ the N5 running vanilla KK. It doesn't seem like it's too hard to include whatever it is to make the DS4 compatible with android but for some reason Google doesn't include it out of the box. My DS4 also pairs w/ my MS Surface 2 Pro on Windows 8.1 with no special drivers or software.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDthree:
How did you get the Nexus 7 to pair your PS3 controller with the Nexus Player? Could you let us know how you pulled it off?

I've side-loaded the Sixaxis controller app onto my nexus player and can't get it to connect. It did once, but crashed instantly and deleted my NP remote from the 'remote & accessories' menu lol. Causing me to resort to a factory reset to get it back.

I can pair the controller with the N7, no problem, NP just doesn't want to work. Any guidance would be appreciated ;)
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenosis:
I think you may have been able to use a phone/tablet with the android tv remote app to re-add the stock remote. Not sure but worth a try over a FR.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandon_edge1994:
Open the Sixaxis app on the nexus player and start it, and it'll show the Mac address of the nexus player. If you open it on your nexus 7 and connect the controller with a USB OTG cable, and click pair inside the sixaxis app, it'll prompt you to enter the Mac address, and it'll have the nexus 7's Mac address by default. Change it to the Mac address displayed on the nexus player. Once that's done, disconnect it and click the PS button. It should connect to the nexus player instead. I got it to work well, but I had the same issue and my nexus player remote stopped working, so I haven't looked into it any further.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IVS IVRIS:
Hello guys,

I was stupid enough to try and flash stuff, without enough knowledge.

First of all:

I came from 4.4.4. stock rooted with Franco kernal

I did make a backup in TWRP, files are on my pc.

Process:

First of all, I did a factory reset in TWRP

I flashed the rom, radio, kernal for root and supersu.

First boot went fine, although WiFi couldn't be found.

I decided to boot into recovery again to wipe my SD Card

Upon rebooting, phone is looking all black without a real 'launcher', sd card not found etc.

Than:

I managed to push rom, radio, kernal and supersu to /sdcard by adb in rocovery mode

I reflashed all of these, but the same problems occur

What should I do now? I'm ****ting my pants..

Please help me!

I did just try it without doing anything (plugging in my tablet, booting to fastboot and opening the batch file but it just came up with "Waiting for device")

Im pretty sure its something to do with the drivers but currently I am clueless.

this is the easy way to get adb fastboot and some other utilities

you can then go to the wugfresh development/data directory

open a cmd window

boot your n7 to the bootloader ( Power + Vol Down)

connect it to your computer.

in the command window

type fastboot devices

look for your nexus serial number ( should show on the bootloader screen on the nexus)

if you don't get a device showing... you will have to re-do your drivers installation......

try using the Wugfresh tool kit.

if you do see your device

use the windows bat file in the Bootloader update from Scrosler's thread.
