[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtfarmer7:
So I was getting ready to flash a rom and I accidently wipped my whole phone. I can still use fastboot, but when I try to flash a rom using this command

Fastboot update [Rom_Filename.zip]

I get the following error message:

archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'

archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'

error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt

does anyone know of a rom I can flash through fast boot?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtfarmer7:
I figured it out, flashed a recovery image, then pushed a rom to the phone with adb and it flashed just fine.
[Networking] Elwyn M3100:
Hi Folks

I have been using GPRS on and off for a few weeks, mostly in the evening when I'm out in the sticks somewhere or with nowt todo and not at home.

Last night was the end of a long day which ended in a 20 hour work shift :( and I forgot to use NODATA to switch off the GPRS. I was less than amused to find it "on" and connected a few minutes ago :(

Not sure how long it's been on for as there is no logging I can see.

I'd like some suggestions for software to tell me the last time connected, how long for, what was up/downloaded and also a history of what I've used in time and throughput.

Anyone help? I've tried a search but I don't seem to be getting anywhere :( Must be too little caffeine in me :eek:

TIA

Elwyn

you may want to try SPB GPRS Monitor; it gets good reviews.

[Networking] tsfnet:
Hi,

i think you don't need to worry. GPRS is charged per packet, so you don't pay for being online only. As far as you don't use it, nothing will be charged on your bill.

PS: I also recommend SBP GPRS Monitor, used it when i started with GPRS. Works fine.
[Networking] Rudegar:
gprs in most places say they charge pr. MB

makes you wonder how many of them charge pr. MB begun or pr. full MB

otherwise checking a bit ever so often could get expensive

[Galaxy Note 3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ersink:
Stock file browser!

If you did not root your device, you cannot do file operations by using other file browsers except stock one! Instead of using otg connection, which I prefer, connect both to a computer then do your operations! Since kk android does not allow 3rd party file browsers to operate over the files in the secondary memory drives, you need to root your phone to use 3rd party file browsers; otherwise you have to use stock file browser!

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] depakjan:
Chromecast advantages

1. Cast anything from PC , especially streaming videos from browser tab.

2. Cast entire desktop, but mostly useless if you do not have proper internet connection.

Fire Tv advantages

1. Sideloading any android app

2. can work independently

Will fire tv ever get casting support for windows ? amazon cast plugin or something ... if it gets that i will easily ditch chromecast
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddubz:
Just get both lol. That's what I did
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @Bellmig:
Fire stick is closer to a tablet than anything

The way I see it, AFSTV is a tablet used for streaming. Chromecast needs more apps and a native browser; maybe chromecast II will be able to compete in the same league (if it ever shows up).

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gottahavit:
I have 2 of each, but hands down the Fire Stick is a better device with may more uses.

FS has MUCH MUCH(get the idea) better wifi.

The one thing I've found that the CC is better at is taking on a trip since you don't need the remote to get it connected on a new wifi. FS you MUST have remote so far as I can figure out.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adfurgerson:
As far as taking it on a trip, if you stay in a hotel that requires you to accept the terms of service through a browser good luck connecting the chromecast.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elysian893:
I have both, and I never use my Chromecast. The only reason I could think of why I would use it is for my 2 movies in Google Play... The Fire Stick is just better in every way.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gottahavit:
yes neither works perfectly traveling, but having to bring remote just to get it to connect to phone sucks. The only thing chromecast did right was the private wifi setup with devices.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROADKING17:
Both are good I'm leaning more to aftv just has more features.. But I also have chromecast connected as well it's good to have back up to send media to the tv with my phone
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Exactly. Although having just experienced this, you'll need to sideload a browser and some mouse mode (controller, mouse, phone mouse,etc) to actually navigate and accept terms.

What I do is tether to my phone and cast predownloaded movies using All cast.

Chromecast is great for basic stuff and used with a tablet. When using my phone, everything gets paused and occasionally locks up when getting calls and messages on my phone.

Fire TV stick is also a pretty good emulator player for retro gaming on the go.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeptic_always:
Unless you need to stick with the small form factor or the budget doesn't allow, the correct answer if you can't decide between the two is to get a Nexus Player. If you are not in a hurry, wait until spring when I'm sure the market will be flooded with cheap Chinese Android TV boxes (Android TV version of Android, not just Android on a stick). Essentially the same as FireTV, but with Chromecast functionality built in.

If I had to choose between a Chomecast or AFTV stick I'd take AFTV stick every time.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alton987:
Comes Down to Apps

You should research the App you know you want to use. I really just want a Chrome cast with a physical remote. I was excited when I grabbed a FireTV stick for $25. I was not excited that the Showtime Anytime app doesn't support on Dish on FireStickTV but does on Chrome cast?

I would tell you make a list of the apps you really want and see what platform has them.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiaraTheDragon:
thats what i did too :P
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Divine_Madcat:
No brainer.. AFTV.

Maybe its just me, but i really dont have the urge to "cast" everything from various devices. A nice standalone box that can connect to networked drives on its own while having native streaming capability nicely beats a simple "casting" box...
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziddey:
If you have a miracast compatible computer, you can use that with the firetv.

Youtube on chromecast is good in "social" settings. Friends can queue up videos (eg. songs) to be played.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexluthor:
I haven't seen 1 person post that Miracast works from a PC to the Fire TV.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slarpongo:
After using both for a few weeks apiece, the fire stick with xbmc and a remote >>>>>>>>>>>> the chromecast.

It gets tiresome having to keep turning my phone etc and having some files need transcoding with the chromecast. The stick, since they updated the firmware and fixed the video quality problems, is almost perfect and I love that remote

The only thing chromecast has over the fire tv is the ease of use with the phone with the little cast button but I can live without that

As soon as the fire sticks go on sale again, I'm picking up another 3!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekweezle:
The AFS seems to be a more flexible platform. It's essentially a Android Stick computer. Will be even better when someone figures out how to root it. For the most part you can sideload the same working apps that work on other Android devices. That's pretty useful.

The Chromecast seems to be more of a one trick pony. The casting feature is interesting but why would you not want to just run apps directly to control it?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidJoe:
I have both.

I bought the Chromecast last year. The biggest use I got out of it was binge watching to catch up on Game of Thrones via HBO Go app. Video was definitely grainy, lower quality than the On-Demand HD from Comcast. Since then, I've rarely used it. Having to start everything via the phone or pad, then "casting" feels clunky. Casting videos/movies from my PC browser was choppy at best.

The Fire TV Stick is pretty smooth. I like having the physical remote and looking at the TV when I do things (i.e. not having to use/look at the phone). YouTube works (although I'm not able to play Purchases). Plex works well, as does SPMC (XBMC fork). NBC Live Extra app seems to work ok, but I'll get a better feel for that tonight watching football. HBO Go isn't officially available for the FireTV STICK yet. On my Fire TV (box) I am disappointed that HBO Go and Showtime Go (I would be there are some other apps too) do not have the ability to sign in for Comcast/Xfinity customers like the apps on iOs and Android do. I do realize that is a COMCAST limit, but it still stinks.

As [MENTION=336309]alton987[/MENTION] said earlier, it important to know the apps you want to use, and what is available on a particular device.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacksmyname:
I bought a Fire TV Stick the day before Thanksgiving at Best Buy for $24.99. I bought it primarily for Amazon Prime.

So far, it's been working perfectly. Along with Prime movies and tv, I'm also using Prime music, Netflix, Crackle and AllCast. All work perfectly except for Netflix. On Netflix, video freezes about 10-15 minutes before the end of the movie, audio continues. I have to back out and then resume. Only takes a few seconds but it's annoying. It's the only app that's giving me a problem.

I also sideloaded BS Player and ES File Explorer. I wanted to use them for playing movies stored on my PC. Both are working just fine. I have mine connected to my A/V receiver (Yamaha). Picture quality is excellent, as is audio through my system.

I'm VERY pleased with the stick, and will buy another one for a second tv.

I have no experience with the Chromecast so I can't comment on it.

But the Fire tv stick is, for me, a no brainer if you subscribe to Amazon Prime. Terrific add-on to my system.

Flashing ColorOS, and then flashing CM11S using this guide: http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/general/fix-people-corrupt-efs-mobile-data-t2836389

Sticking the SIM card in my Galaxy S3 to see if it works (spoiler: it does)

Restoring previous nandroid while data was working fine

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] The Commish:
So I'm relatively new to the forums, I mostly just read, learn and try to stay out of way. Just flashed latest nightly last night. So far very smooth and stable. I did some poking a prodding this morning to answer some questions I had coming from CM11 which I was also new to.

Nice to see Sprint carrier billing back in this version. I know I saw it posted that NFC was not working but everything but Tap & Pay seems to work fine for me. Beam and Tags all function okay.

On top of Netflix not working yet, Play Movies 3.6.16 FCs on launch and after reverting to 3.4.23 it waits until you press play to FC.

I did have the keyboard issue that has been mentioned but was prepared with SwiftKey apk on my sdcard just in case. After finishing setup ALL keyboards seem to function just fine.

BT and GPS both working great.

All in all very usable and I'm going to give it a go as a daily for as long as possible though I may have to revert back to CM11 just for the Netflix/Play Movies since we only stream in my household. We'll see.

Not sure if this thread was the best place to share (I can't seem to comment on the main thread) but if there's a more appropriate place to provide feedback that someone wants to point me at, happy to do it.

Nice work everyone who's contributing. Thanks for your efforts keeping my Note 2 relevant.?
