[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CraviingCritic:
Assuming I was the one who cracked the screens.

On both my phones, I am not the phone who dropped them, sort of. My girlfriend dropped my Optimus G flat on it's face about a month after I got it. My G2 was recently broken while I was sitting outside of my job checking Facebook. Some kid was walking backwards and tripped over me, knocking my phone out of my hand and ~4 feet away from me.

I, personally, take great care with my phones, but some things are just unavoidable.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] findinghomer:
No. Hes got a point. Just bc you crack your screen, doesn mean you shouldn't be able to use it.. that's like cracking the windshield of your bmw, and not being able to continue to drive it. Ive never had a phone that wouldn't operate w a cracked screen. One big peeve of mine with lg. Is the lg3 designed the same?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimakos29:
not it is not like cracking the windshield cause the windshield is not an important and necessary part of the car without which it won't operate correctly. It is more like breaking the engine or the steering wheel or the transmission and want the car to operate anyway. The screen of a smartphone is an essential part of the phone without which the phone does not operate, so, bad paragon you used there...

Breaking his rear cover would be like breaking the windshield of a car
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] findinghomer:
If You have never owned another manufacturers smart phone, i understand why you think that. But the fact is,and his point is, other manufacturers use a top glass, a "windshield" it serves no other purposes, the touch digitizer is underneath. So the top glass is not important at all to the operation of the device. JUST like a car windshield. Not with the g2, You get one little nick, you lose entire sections of touch. That sucks!!

[Q][Kernel][4.3/4.4][GPL] Kang-aroo1.2(1/27/2014)(OC,otg+charge,DAC, usb wifi,EZcap)

Newbie here!

First thanks for your hard work and enthusiasm. I am new to the android dev scene (mostly used stock devices) but I've been using gnu/linux for quite long. Fortunately stopped compiling my own kernels back in the Slackware/Suse days when modules were slow but i have some idea about the process.

I'm currently trying to get stable running grouper with stk1160 mainly for gps and reversing camera. I've successfully made it work with your kernel (or timur + modules or stock + modules) but the picture seems a bit strange (interlaced) and carcam_1.4bbb is unstable as hell. Can you please post some tutorial for you easycap drivers workflow? I would like to compile my own kernel without the rest of the hacks. Imho for car usage we don't need all the overclocking or the different governors (easycap + otg/(possibly even slow)charging is enough for me).

Maybe the best approach (as you mentioned) would be to get lollipop as it has most of the things already there so we only need the easycap drivers.

The other topic - carcam_1.4bbb - this is practically unusable. We should be able to use some decent player (vlc has v4l2 support under linux but couldn't find anything for android apart from some patches which are disabling it under some conditions). The other option which i believe you are trying too is to get ffmpeg to stream the v4l2 so another player can be used however latency will build up even if streaming raw input.

From what i read franco kernel is quite popular, maybe it is better base kernel than 'bricked-grouper-3.x' ?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jldiiorio:
Hi!

I have bricked a MT6575 Star B79 phone. I know that is a very old-fashioned platform, but maybe someone can help me anyway.

I flashed it many times in the past without issues, but this time something was wrong.

Before brick, it had REVO 4.0.4-SGS4 firmware working for many time. The phone became bricked trying to flash stock 4.0.3 firmware PULID_B79(三码电脑升级)-20120707.

Actual state of phone is: Battery charging ok on power-off; at power-on phone shows the first Android image and then shows a black screen (back-light on; no sound, no starting “video”). In this state (power-on), if I connect to PC, the Device Manager of Windows shows a “Linux storage drive” (or some like that) and other “/F” device.

I can boot in recovery mode by it is stock recovery (<3e> version) and shows “failed to mount /cache”.

Preloader seams connect OK to PC when phone is connected without battery. But apparently, SP Flashtool can’t write to the phone.

I tried to flash with different versions of SP Flashtool, many different ROMS but always I got the same result.

SPFT shows the flashing advance bars and the green circle, but apparently, file is not write to the phone. I tried to flash a cwm-recovery, SPFT showed ok but stock recovery stayed in the phone.

I tried by changing drivers, but resulting state was the same. I also tried by “test point” method by disassemble the phone, same result (all OK in SPFT but nothing changed in the phone).

It seems like internal memory of phone is in read-only mode…

Someone could help me with this issue?

I apologize because of my poor english.

Regards.

On previous Note Series smartphones I've been able to "write" on the back of photos in my photo gallery with the S-Pen. Did Samsung permanently remove this S-Pen feature?

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amb669:
If your flashing KDZ then your flashing a stock rom, All stock roms are carrier specific and have the bloat.

Here are your options:

1. Manually remove bloat.

2. Use a script to remove bloat.

3. Use a custom rom that's already debloated.

I used this SPH-L710_ND8_Full Restore_UNROOTED (Compressed Archive).exe

to update my gs3 to ND8. then I Odin PhilZ Touch recovery and used re-root

Rebooted downloaded supersu from play store ran and updated. Used root checker to verify root. all ok

Now flashing new rom. Problems

Wicked X would flash but not boot up

Spirit would flash and boot but not the gapps. When I try to flash the gapps would get a permission error and not flash.

Any ideas would be helpful even if it is "search" please tell me where.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mattzeller:
In have you verified md5 of your Wicked X download? Are you using the KK gapps with Spirit? When you flashed Wicked X did you first wipe cache, dalvik, and then wipe for new ROM in Philz before flashing?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] inunishi:
Did not check md5 (Never learned how). Using the PA-Apps found in the OP for Spirit. Wiped everything I found to wipe in PhilZ before flashing all ROMs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mattzeller:
Download an md5 checking app from the Play Store. When you download a ROM, load it into the md5 checking app to generate the md5 and then check and see if it matches what it's supposed to be. If they don't match it means it was a bad download and can cause all kinds of funky problems when flashed, like not booting. As far as gapps go any of the KitKat should work, I personally use slimgapps and I haven't had a problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] inunishi:
all md5 are a match. I noticed that I get a error in philZ with flashing some zips:

E: unknown error (file name) {sd-ext}

or something like that. Looks like some zips are looking for an E folder on an ext-sd. any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
in PhilZ recovery when you choose a zip file to flash before you press yes there will be a thin gray line that fills up with a blue color and when the line fills up it will show the MD5 of the file you chose now all you have to do is compare it to the one on the download page to see if they match
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boojay:
This was never a problem before, but I'm noticing the last couple of weeks, whenever I view a YouTube video on my Z3C, it keeps selecting one of the lower qualities and I have to manually switch to 720p almost half the time. Back then, the highest quality was always chosen by default and my internet connection is fast (enough) so I have no idea why it does this. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I tried downgrading/upgrading the YouTube app and comparing to other phones, but it seems only I'm having this issue. Now it's starting to affect other videos I stream over the internet from different sites/links as well so I'm kind of stumped at the moment.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sillieidiot:
not sure about the other streaming videos, but do you have limit mobile data setting checked for youtube?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boojay:
I did check, thanks for the suggestion. I always make sure to take off any limitations as I have unlimited mobile data. And actually, I'm having this problem on Wi-Fi. It's a tiny problem, really, but still annoying nonetheless.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boojay:
I'm retracting my complaint about other streaming services defaulting to lower quality, turns out it was only happening on one site and that tricked me into thinking it was happening on others as well, but in fact, it was the site's fault, not my phone.

That said, I'm still having the issue with the YouTube app where it automatically selects the lower quality when I play a video, usually auto-selecting 360p or lower, even though 720p is an option and loads fine when I pick it manually. I have another phone I test this on and it plays HD properly every time so something definitely isn't sticking the way it should.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkyKilla:
I'd like to confirm that the youtube app selects 360p no matter what the option for hd videos is but i saw that when first loading the video in vertical display it remains 360p while if you turn your phone horizontal and going fullscreen it switches to 720p instantly or in a few seconds. Maybe it's a feature to conserve data anyway ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boojay:
I wouldn't doubt it as we know many have fallen victim to overage fees due to inadvertent and reckless streaming over the years, but if that's the case, this must be a relatively new feature introduced within the last few versions because I never had this issue before. Even before I had unlimited data, I monitored my data usage carefully so I'm not concerned with conserving, and as mentioned, this is happening on Wi-Fi as well. I've changed the settings to always allow HD streaming, but that's not doing anything.

Thanks for confirming though, at least I have a place to start now.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkyKilla:
It is indeed happening both on wifi/mobile data with the limit hd videos to wifi option enabled or disabled. I have also tried disabling mobile data while having wifi on and it failed to do HD on start. The difference noted in the post above is that 720p kicks in at about 20secs in the video(check kwabs - walk for testing).

No problem, i just thought of posting to assure you that your device is ok and that it might be a bug/"feature" on google/youtube`s side or some incompatibility with sony(?!). The only thing i can think of is that 720p and higher is pretty pointless in the vertical view with the small video player on top since it's too small to notice which seems pretty logic.

Update: i have deleted cache and data for the app, uninstalled updates, thus reverting to version5.738, restarted the app, signed in and then updated via play store. Now it automatically selects 720p for the video on wifi. It still doesn't matter for mobile data if you disable the limited hd, it shows the 720p but it doesn't autoswitch to it(maybe because i'm on h+ and not on 4g/lte, i can't verify this). Hope it helps ! Cheers !
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boojay:
I hadn't tried clearing cache/data yet, will give it a shot (fingers crossed!)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boojay:
Update: Ah, you were right about viewing videos in portrait being the culprit. I generally don't watch YouTube in any orientation other than landscape so I never noticed. Basically, the solution is to use YouTube in landscape, or at least, launch the video in landscape. Thanks for pointing that out!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkyKilla:
You're welcome ! In my case after the data/cache clearing, uninstalling and updating from store afterwards, portrait videos also start in 720p, the only issue that remains would be the videos not defaulting to 720p on mobile data with the hd limit option disabled.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boojay:
Good to know. I'm just making sure my phone is in landscape now before I click on the video, problem solved. Such a weird little quirk, LOL!

[Sailfish General] carepack:
I can't answer you're question technically. But if you compare the specs of an android device and the jolla phone you'll see there is a huge difference. The sailfishos work on much lower hardware quite flawlessy and is not so ressource hungry than android.

It runs very smooth until it's memory is free... if you use a bit much of memory it start sometimes to lag a lot. It's a low memory problem around that the Jolla crew it's working, the next update (january 2015) hopefully will fix it.
[Sailfish General] black_blob:
It clearly depends on your device(not exactly, the GPU drivers) :)

Some shaders can be more or less efficient depending on HW and the driver(not much for Sailfish as it uses LibHYBRIS)
[Sailfish General] enedil:
You should note, that Sailfish OS does not run Java Virtual Machine. All apps are compiled to machine code. This makes Sailfish bleeding fast.
[Sailfish General] black_blob:
It runs the Dalvik or ART JVM for Android compatibility.
[Sailfish General] enedil:
Only if you run Android apps!
[Sailfish General] black_blob:
You have to explicitly run it without Android support...
