I've always used TuneBelt. I went through AB86 for the Galaxy Nexus, then AB88 for the Nexus 5 (I had to order the AB88 from Germany because it was not available in the UK at the time).

As again, the TuneBelt is not available in the UK yet, I found this one on Amazon and gave it a try as it was so cheap http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00QV6849G?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00 although knowing it was going to be crap.

Well, it's not completely crap, but you get what you pay for, no surprise, and it's too tight. It came with the cardboard insert for the Note 4. It's even tight for the Note 4! (tried with my son's)

So I just went ahead and ordered the AB92 from the Netherlands http://www.ipodhoes.nl/tune-belt-ab92-sport-armband.html

I probably won't be using it as armband at the gym as the phone is so big for my arm it looks ridiculous :) , but it's still more protection than just the case and with BT earphones I don't need it on me but I like to be able to see the screen for the HR monitor (with a pouch style it would not be possible).

I'll post pics when it arrives.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] gr4ce:
Following from my post above, I have just received the TuneBelt and here are the pics (lots so I'm linking to my G+ post).

https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/+GraceCarlyle/albums/6112691355079402545

I'm using a Spigen SlimArmour case which is still quite big and it fits very well, it would even take a bigger case.

If you don't use a case, it might be a bit too big, maybe the AB91 would be best.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] coldconfession13:
Just received this myself. I thought it was a case but its just a flimsy rubber .
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ford12acing:
awesome! im getting my nexus 6 this week and i already have my seidio case for it. this is perfect! 16" max so looks like i gotta get the extender (i hate having to spend more money!). so i take it the headphone ports won't work, but i guess i can use my bluetooth headset instead

http://www.amazon.com/Armband-iPhone-Plus-5-5-display/dp/B00NMWWIJY/ref=pd_cp_cps_2

is this the one? looks like it's a little cheaper than their actual site, and i do have to buy the extension piece as well, so if i can save a few bucks here and there that would be great
[Nexus 6 Accessories] SilentO:
I have the same one that xaraxx posted and love it
[Nexus 6 Accessories] gr4ce:
That's the ab91. It's smaller than mine above. It should fit the phone without a case or probably with a very slim case.

Hi

Does anyone know a way to keep WiFi from switching ON?

Iv'e tried the settings.apk to turn it OFF but it seems to reactivate itself. Or another app is switching on.

Trying to find an app that will do it, but no luck so far.

This would be simple on a regular android device.

I prefer a wired connection and would like the WiFi to stay OFF.

Thanks

Just go to Settings/System/Network & press the 3 _ line button for any Wifi Network you had saved. Now it should not be able to connect to any Wifi. And it shouldn't try as long as you have an Ethernet cable plugged in...
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jljaries42@gmail.com:
Thanks

I was able to get it to forget my network as you suggested.

The FireTV seems to have the WiFi signal turned on even when connected through ethernet.

I've tried a few WiFi manager apps to disable WiFi completely.

My WiFi signal detector always shows a signal from the AFTV, except when it's unplugged.

Yeh - I think I have the same issue. My connection showing wired, I ran a speedtest and getting 45mb (I have 120mb braodband).

The Remote App also works which tells me I am still wireless.

Disable wlan module ? ?

I tried to disable the wifi module (wlan.ko in /system/lib/modules) by renaming it, but it just created a new copy.

There must be an app to freeze or disable somewhere.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
Wonder if one only uses the Wired option since the first Setup will it make a difference.. Doubt it.. But wonder... Maybe it has to do with the new FW that includes the Remote app support...

just a thought, but maybe an app like d-vasive would do the trick... just disable wifi through the app (and leave bluetooth on for the remote)
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Not_Down_With_IoT:
The Amazon Fire TV stick broadcasts its own wireless signal even while connected via ethernet.

Peer-reviewed scientific papers on health effects of wireless radiation are abundant. Here's 1: ehtrust.org/science/research-on-wireless-health-effects/

Kids are way more vulnerable because they absorb way more radiation. Pisses me off that I can't see a way to disable it. IoT devices should come with a way to disable broadcasting a signal and default set to 'off'!

Does anyone know of a way to disable the function that makes the Amazon Fire TV stick broadcast it's own IoT wireless signal?

Any help would be much appreciated! thanks

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimmyP:
The remote is WFD (Wifi Direct, not Bluetooth) and there is no way to turn this off. Wifi for data is off when it is plugged in as wired.

I too have got rid of EVERYTHING wifi or bluetooth in my home.

I was hoping i could disable bluetooth and wifi completely on the fire tv stick 4k.

I am using my infrared TV remote to control it through CEC.

I connected to it remotely via ADB and executed these two commands

adb shell settings put global bluetooth_on 0

adb shell svc wifi disable

Unfortunately although the commands seemed to work, the fire tv is still emitting huge amounts of EMF.

Any clever people here have any ideas to disable Bluetooth and wifi completely ?

Thanks in advance
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treboR2Robert:
For anyone who is interested I found a way to disable WiFi and Bluetooth and it is VERY simple.

WARNING :

Disabling Bluetooth will make your Firestick remote unusable until Bluetooth is turned back on.

Restarting the firestick used to re-enable bluetooth but this is no longer the case, so be careful and,

Make sure you have another way to navigate before turning Bluetooth off. ( CEC or FireTV app )

Enable Apps from Unknown Sources on an Amazon Fire TV or Fire TV Stick

From the Fire TV or Fire TV Stick's home screen, scroll to “Settings”.

Next, scroll to the right and select “My Fire TV”. ( ...

Next, scroll down and select “Developer options”.

Then select “Apps from Unknown Sources” to turn the option to “ON”.

THEN

Search for and install "downloader" on the fire stick

Use downloader to download and install an app called "Smart Quick Settings" available here.

I used version 2.71 but the apk is available other places too, aswell as other versions.

You could alternatively use a normal web browser on the firestick instead of downloader to download the smart quick settings app but you will then need a file explorer app to find your downloaded apk and install it.

Make sure you can control the firestick with CEC or other means, a guide for enabling CEC is below.

How to Enable HDMI-CEC on Your Fire TV

There are days when we want to watch something on our Fire TV but it takes minutes before the screen fills up because your TV is on the wrong HDMI input or the TV took a long time to boot up. You can avoid this annoying wait time by enabling HDMI-CEC on your Fire TV. HDMI-CEC is a code that...

forums.tomsguide.com

Open Smart quick settings and toggle wifi and bluetooth off ( when navigating inside Smart quick settings you do not see anything moving so count how many clicks you have done, I think its 3 down clicks to get to the bluetooth off toggle )

And that's it all done... Simple :)

I have confirmed using my RF meter that it is no longer transmitting anything at all bluetooth or wifi.

Hope this helps someone :)
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AmznUser444 Dev:
Turning off the Bluetooth on your Fire TV and keeps turning on that you gets hijacked on Bluetooth is called Bluejacking.

To disable the Bluetooth completely that you don't needed. You have to disable the Bluetooth Share app on it.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barney22:
Hi, I have used the above method to try and turn off wifi on firestick and everything has gone well with "smart quick settings" now on the firestick as an app but when I get onto the page with all the different settings on it it wont let me scroll down to wifi settings to turn it off(it wont let me scroll down to any of the settings on page 1 or 2). Would appreciate any help on how to overcome this or if anyone has found a different method to disable wifi/Bluetooth settings on the Kindle firestick,

Thanks Barney
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treboR2Robert:
It doesn't look like anything is moving but it actually is.

For bluetooth I think i just press the down button 3 times ( just count how far down it is) and the click select on the remote and you will see it toggle the setting on and off.

to turn it back on you have to press right after going down to the option, again you don't see anything move but it does move.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barney22:
Thanks for the reply,

Tried it but when we click on it to try and alter Bluetooth it automatically switches

from Smart Quick settings to the firestick settings page and when we try to alter Wifi settings it sends us to the firestick network page which shows we are connected to Ethernet, when we press select on this it asks for an IP address-unsure which IP address to put in.

Thanks for your reply

Been using the Amazon firestick Lite(2020) so have bought Firestick Tv 4k (2018),

received it this morning and managed to disable wifi and then the Bluetooth but once bluetooth was disabled i lost ability to use the remote controller(must be operating off Bluetooth and not IR) . How can I control the use of the firestick without using the Bluetooth Firestick controller?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treboR2Robert:
Yes the fire stick remote uses bluetooth, If you unplug the fire stick power and plug it back in bluetooth automatically turns back on and your fire remote will work again.

I use the TV remote which controls the fire stick with HDMI CEC.

You TV needs to support this ( most TV's do ) LG call it simplink, Sony call it BRAVIA Link or BRAVIA Sync, Samsung call it Anynet+ .

Some more info here.

How to Enable HDMI-CEC on Your TV, and Why You Should

Here's everything you need to know about HDMI-CEC, one of the best HDMI quality-of-life tools around.

www.howtogeek.com

It is enabled by default on the Fire Stick, but you can check it by going to settings, Display and Sounds, HDMI CEC.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barney22:
Have 2 LG TVs with the newset being 2011 model both have Simplink on them which I activated but the remote control was unresponsive on both TVs. There is no option to turn auto power sync on ,unlike the more up to date Tvs .

Not sure if the Tvs I have are just too old to for HDMi-CEC to be compatable with

a firestick.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treboR2Robert:
If they have CEC it should work no matter how old they are. I have a 2009 and a 2010 tv and it works on both of those fine.

Try different hdmi ports, different cables, double check settings on the fire stick and the tv ? dont know wat else to say really.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barney22:
Yes,they both have CEC on them so unsure whats going on, will have to re-check the HDMI ports. Since last posting have borrowed a Bush Tv from my son and the whole process you have described works a treat , have an RF monitor myself and

nothing coming off it . Have had to remove the batteries from the firestick controller otherwise it still lets off a signal and keep an eye on the Bluetooth coming back on on Quick settings ,which is no problem and am delighted to be

able to watch Tv using the firestick ,radiation free.

Appreciate all the advise you have given Robert , your system for turning it all off

is the only one I can see on the internet that works.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lee7527:
Hi not sure if you are still around. It's been a minute since you replied maybe someone else can offer insight. I followed your instructions, but I realized I didn't do the remote thing or even think about that. I'm on a Roku TV, So after I got the Quick Smart Settings on the Firestick added. Easy. I went to the setting and saw the Wifi, and Bluetooth on.

Mind you my firestick has been wired and using ethernet all this time, but as you mentioned I just discovered it was emitting RF still cause it uses BT. So I first disabled the Wifi, not even the Bluetooth yet on the Quick smart settings, after that I couldn't use the firestick remote. I unplugged it, restarted it, but will not work. Any ideas? You mentioned if you disable bluetooth if you just restart, unplug then plug it back it will switch to on, but this was the wifi setting and it doesn't change.

I have CEC on my ROKU, as my Spectrum cable remote can be used on my Roku. Any ideas how to get the Amazon stick remote back working, then pairing a remote that isnt the firestick then turning off the wifi bluetooth and testing?

I will probably have to get the amazon firestick app on phone and see if that can help me maneuver and try again ...
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SweenWolf:
Not sure if you need any help, if you still have internet connection on your stick or your CEC is working then you can fix this easily otherwise it will take some efforts.

as you might know firestick remote connects with bluetooth and you have disabled the bluetooth on your stick. you will have to install the app again and enable bluetooth once again. your stick will be fine, there is a similar post in here somewhere, you can follow that also. if you need any more help feel free to ask.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treboR2Robert:
Sorry I don't know.

Disabling wifi on a firestick does not affect the remote, the firestick remote uses bluetooth.

Just because your cable remote can be used to control your TV does not mean your TV has CEC, your cable remote is most likely just sending a normal infarerd signal to your tv to control volume etc...

I have no idea if Roku TV's support CEC, I've never seen one.

Usually CEC is used for using the TV remote to control devices plugged into the TV.

Also I just checked on my FireStick4k and restarting it still re-enabled bluetooth.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treboR2Robert:
It seems an update at some point has now made it so that restarting the Firestick no longer re-enables bluetooth so be very carefull playing with these settings.

I recently done something to mine where after a restart it was stuck on a black screen and CEC would not work.

I later found out that bluetooth wasn't re-enabled after restarting like it used to be.

So obviously the amazon remote would not work and obviously I couldn't pair another remote either.

I spent hours trying to figure out a way to get the firestick to do anything at all.

Most solutions I found online involved "using the remote" lol.

In the end "I think" the solution was using the amazon remote app on a smartphone to bring the "quick access menu" up on the firestick and from there the only thing i could do was a factory reset.

P.S

I have updated my Original Post to reflect this and added some more info.

We got it to work!!! thanks so much for your brilliant discovery of how to do this. We got stuck with our first attempt to download the app, but we just went back into downloader and selected a different version of the Smart quick settings app and it installed instantly no problem. Once the wifi was switched off we also found that we could use the TV remote just fine to navigate round the fire stick services, eventhough we have a fairly old non-wifi TV. The only time it got tricky was using it on the smart quick settings app menu itself where it would float around. But that is not an issue because the wifi on the stick remains switched off even when everything is unplugged and plugged in again. So we've just taken the batteries out of the bluetooth handset cos we don't seem to need it, tho it is early days!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treboR2Robert:
glad its all working.

Yeah just have a check on it every now and then.

I think the reason mine doesn't turn bluetooth back on when i restart might be because of another app i use that disables a lot of background processes. (not sure though)

the app is

thats for fire os 6. other versions are available for os 5 and os 7 too.

Hey everybody, I've got a HTC Wizard phone running Wm5 and I would like to write a different today screen application (not a new plugin, but replace entirely the today app - plugins host).

I search the net for informations about the application, but I could only find out that is called host.exe.

Does any one know what kind of restrictions are for this type of application?

Does it need to respond to some specific things?

And how can I replace it with my exe?

Or at least where can I find such information?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RazvanP:
It seems to me that the today app doesn't need to meet any special requirements. You can replace it with any app. However you will lose the start menu and the clock bar if the new application doesn't provide such functionality.

There is one thing I could not find: how can you specify the application that will be started as today screen.. I assume this would be a reg key but i could not find it yet.

[XDA Assist] Vayrion:
So recently, I update my SGH-I337 via OTA and i started having call issues where I would keep having to restart the phone in order to make the phone calls work again. I then decided to root my phone in order to get the calls to work again and they did. I then decided that since my phone was now rooted, I would completely get rid of KNOX using Root Explorer. Doing this soft bricked my phone after a reboot. After some research, I found this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2663545 and i got my phone working again using steps 1-7. I then took it a step further and used Odin3 v1.85 and flashed the JFLTE_USA_ATT_16G.pit file with ALL_ATT_I337UCUFNB1_I337ATTFNB1_505595_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5 file and that in term bricked my phone again. So I repeated steps 1-7 again but wound up with a bootloop at the AT&T logo and now have no clue what to do. I have been at this for 3 days now so any assistance would be wonderful. Thanks.

EDIT: Got it fixed....removed battery and rebooted into recovery and performed a factory reset. it stayed at the AT&T logo screen for a couple minutes before it booted up.

Still trying to get service

So, I have posted on this in here on another persons thread with no response. Much like my other post here. Zero response. Figure Ill try one more time.

Samsung i9500 on official 4.2.2 rooted, busybox, philz recovery. IMEI is right, SN is right but still not registering on network.

I have read and read. tried a million different methods and even replaced the sim/sd card holder in the phone physically. No change. Still not registered.

This isssue started before I flashed the official 4.2.2 rom. Phone worked, then suddenly nothing. So I flashed official 4.2.2, went back to official recovery to no avail. Thats when I changed the physical sim/sd holder itself. Nothing changed. Almost every tut ive found have to do with a null or 0049 IMEI number or a bad SN. This is not the case with my phone.

Please, any help would be appreciated.

As a side note, at the same time as the not registered error my phone stopped reading the sd card that has been in it from the day it came out of the box.
