I was wondering if anyone could compile the cifs.ko, md4.ko modules for the stock kernel on the tab pro 8.4 (firmware T320UEU1ANK1_T320XAR1ANK1_XAR), I know kitkat gives problems with cifs, but I heard there are several workarounds now with "su --mount-master" or possibly mounting the folder in the system/media folder .. or even using adb to mount.

Hopefully someone has the ability to do it.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] arcadia2uk:
Wrong forum for a question, but you can try "Mount Manager" or "CifsManager" in the play store. I have heard people have used them successfully on the Tab KitKat.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jigar7:
Hello everyone,

This is the first time I am going to own an Android Device so am new to Android devices (Coming from the Apple ecosystem)

I'm going to get my hands on the LTE version of the nVidia Shield Tablet over this weekend.

I read through Pichu's Rooting guide and a lot of it went over my head. Wish there was TowelRoot for Lollipop since most of the iDevices get a 'one click' Jailbreak option like TowelRoot.

The rooting and unlocking bootloader process seems to be quite cumbersome or probably I just need to do it a few times to get the hang of it.

So my questions are...

1. Could anyone explain to me what are the Pros and Cons of Rooting and unlocking the bootloader specifically for the Shield Tablet. (Will it cause any loss of nVidia stock Apps etc?)

2. Also a step-by-step guide for newbies of unlocking the bootloader and rooting the Shield Tablet would be of great help.

3. Can unlocking bootloader or rooting cause irreversible damage to the device (bricking it maybe)?

And just FYI,

I think that the Tablet will be on Kit Kat out of the box and will have a locked bootloader and won't have root access (from what I have googled so far).

Also, I will not have warranty coverage on the device since it is being shipped from the States to India where it hasn't yet launched.

I've heard about various touch screen, battery and 'cracked edges' issues and not having warranty coverage might be a big concern but I just couldn't wait to buy this since I am a heavy gamer.

Hopefully most of these manufacturing defects are fixed on the LTE version. *fingers crossed*
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jigar7:
Alright, have successfully updated KitKat to 1.2.1 via OTA and even have root now. I even got a 64GB Sandisk Ultra SD card and moved some huge game files via the 'Apps' tab under settings

The battery life, however, is so bad on this while playing games like TWD/Trine 2/Half Life 2... doesn't charge while playing... I read reviews that Lollipop does improve the battery so I'm going to try to upgrade to L and hopefully have a root without bricking the device.

Thank you for the info, appreciate the help.

Now comes the confusing part... I am going to try and unlock the bootloader but before that, is there a tool to backup my entire device? Currently I have nothing important on the device except a few nVidia Hub games... but I'd like to learn the back up process since unlocking the bootloader will completely wipe the device. It is really a pain and a waste of bandwidth to re-download entire 1+ GB games again from the Play store/nVidia Hub.

Also, nVidia hasn't yet uploaded Lollipop recovery images officially that I could use for a clean install... or flashing the device with it (I need to get acquainted to the android terminology now... lol). Flashing recoveries is the same as restoring ipsw firmware files on Apple devices right? Which in turn gives you a clean/fresh install.

What exactly is CWM and Philz recoveries? Should I wait for nVidia to upload Lollipop factory images officially?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bogdacutu:
a 2A charger (such as the one included with the tablet) seems to be enough to keep my tablet alive while gaming

Try Titanium Backup

This is a good explanation, and you can just flash KitKat and upgrade to Lollipop through the OTA update (and factory reset afterwards if you want a clean install, maybe even backup your system partition to use that instead until they release the factory image).
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jigar7:
CWM or Philz Recovery?

Wow! Thank you for those links Bogdacutu. That was a good read. Will try out Titanium Backup over the weekend. I wish droid manufacturers come up with a backup/restore software of their own. Coming from the Apple ecosystem, this was the only time I missed iTunes... for backup/restore. Otherwise iTunes is crap!

Does Titanium Backup also take backups the huge OBB application files? I need to back those up because I have purchased games like The Walking Dead Season 1/Wolf Among Us etc and the episode downloads are humongous... wouldn't want to waste time (on a slow connection) and bandwidth downloading them again.

Is there any other reliable backup software on the play store that does not require a rooted device?

Heading back to rooting the Shield Tablet on Android Lollipop, I don't think there is a way to root it without installing a custom recovery/ROM... currently I'm rooted on 1.2.1 KK (LTE US Version)

Which custom recovery would you suggest... Philz or CWM? So that the OTAs from Lollipop don't cause any future issues and I can go ahead and root the tablet.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bean_ian:
Hi Folks,

I have been suffering with abysmal battery life for the past couple of weeks since I got my device(910F). So much so that yesterday I rooted the phone just to get betterbatterystats to give me more information on what was draining the battery.

Low and behold it turns out bluetooth is the culprit. I have a moto 360 that I have paired with the phone.

Before I switched bluetooth off i had 2 kernel wakelocks occupying 88% of the time since i took it off charge (bluesleep & msm-serial_hs_dma).

As soon as I switched off bluetooth these wakelocks where immediately released.

Also when checking CPU states prior to disabling bluetooth no time was spent in deepsleep. As soon as I turn off bluetooth I'm now seeing 23% (and growing) of the time spent in deep sleep.

Has anyone else had this issue with their Note? Seems like bluetooth is keeping the phone awake and not letting it enter deep sleep.

My note 4 is on 5.0.1, and this just started yesterday. I always keep my Bluetooth on with great battery life. Today, however, my phone will not enter deep sleep until I turn off Bluetooth.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubamike:
I cleared the data on the Bluetooth and BluetoothTest processes, and my problem is solved. Now, understand that I've been turning bluetooth off and on constantly as I use my hands-free device for calls and turn bluetooth back off to save battery, so something may started functioning properly along the way without clearing those previously mentioned data and caches. Either way, I leave bluetooth on 100% of the time again, and my battery life is again stellar.

[General Questions and Answers] Lirannl:
Iv'e searched, and I'm sure this must exist somewhere.

Basically, I need a backport for the kitkat translucent status bar and navbar API, that will work on at least 4.1.

Upgrading to KitKat is not an option for me, as my phone has no ROMs beyond 4.1.

I assume you'd like some data about the software I have on my phone:

It's a basic vanilla 4.1.2 ROM that comes pre-rooted.

I have xposed installed, with several modules. All work perfectly (except for 4.2+ things)

I am willing to flash stuff, modify APKs (decompiling and compiling), install xposed modules, or anything that doesn't go beyond the ROM level (I will not modify the bootloader/recovery in any way, shape, or form. I can not risk a hard brick), basically, I want to know that no matter what I do, I can always reflash my ROM (+factory reset), and everything will be fine again. I don't care about warranty by the way (it's over)

I don't mind slight buggyness, if that's the only way there is to do it... (of course, I prefer none)

Just as a sidenote, if there's also kitkat's/4.2+'s systemUI apk backport for 4.1, which I had trouble finding, I'd be very thankful to have a link to it.

Yes. I know one does not simply install the APKs for system apps from newer versions of android. But backports exist, that patch and implement whatever's needed for it to work on older systems.

I contacted the service team (its not in warranty) they said we are unable to get the cause we have to replace the motherboard and memory chip inside it
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] ShadowsDie:
Some months ago some people on this forum had similar problem which was solved by replacing power button.

But if your warranty team says its a motherboard problem, you'd better get a new device. (I would recommend you staying away from Samsung)
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] k_shukla:
Yes now i dont buy samsung products though as i had similar experience in terms of service and warranty on other products too they give 10 year warranty but they say your issue is exceptional. I had s4 also which was in warranty it had certain issue with sim slot and when i contacted them they said sorry this is not covered in warranty. For ace plus also they are asking almost the whole price of device.

I have a problem that I can't update a specific app - Twitter. I had three updates this morning and two of them were fine but Twitter won't update and I was told that my phone doesn't have enough free space/storage, even if I have almost 4 GB free. After that I've updated one more app so it seems the problem is related only to Twitter.

Then I uninstalled Twitter and tried to do a fresh install but I've got the same error message and the same thing happens when I download the apk file and try to install it that way. Then I tried to restore a backup from Titanium Backup but nothing happens - it seems to hang in the restore process. I left the phone for about 15 minutes but nothing at all happens...

I've tried to boot into recovery mode and delete cache and dalvik cache but it doesn't help me.
