I've changed my dns on my nexus player like a month ago and I got US netflix working in canada. Then like a week ago netflix just stopped working a through an error. So I changed the dns and my internet works for all my other apps but netflix. when I open netflix this error comes up: "there was a problem connecting to netflix please try again later (-12)". if anyone can help, i'd appreciate it! thanks

Different Problem but...

I have been having problems with the Netflix app on my nexus player as well. It has been giving me a popup that says "We are currently unable to play this title. Please try again later or watch something else" Or something along the lines of that. When I hit more details, and then hit check connection, the nexus player cannot connect to any of the Netflix servers. I'm pretty sure it isn't a connectivity problem, because I have on occasion given up and just browsed YouTube for a while, but I would like to know if there's a way to fix this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, fandas.

Follow the directions on unblockUS for changing the DNS on your router rather than your device. This should solve the problem.

When I would transfer my player to another room or bring it to a friend's house I would run into that issue. The fix for me was just simply sign out of my Netflix account and signing back in.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kusanagi Fire:
I've been spoiled by LG's double tap to wake and sleep function. In order to replicate the double tap to sleep ability, I use Tasker (which is officially seeing Lollipop support now) to create a task for "system lock." However, I noticed that when I double tap (Nova gesture) to do this, it circumnavigates the smart lock, meaning I'll have to use my PIN/pattern when I next use my phone. Is there another solution around this or does Tasker need to be updated to support smart lock? Looking for any suggestions.

Resolved: Using Run Shell and input keyevent 26 with root emulates the power button and keeps Smart Lock in place.

Is there any perfect solution to resolve Trinity A2DP sound drops problems?

I'm using i.Tech Clip Radio and i have SE-970, I tried to use MSI Blue player for D810, the sound is great but it seems the problem not stable at all. Anyone can resolve this?

I hope we can resolve those problem and our Trinity will be the perfect machine at the moment.

I have Sony BT headphones (the one without the caller ID display).

I am SO CLOSE to returning them! I increased the quality on my phone (with the Dopod ROM) and made it stereo....but it sounds like they are singing through a tin can (meaning there is this tinny sound on voices---but it would sound perfect if that was gone).

Has anyone found a way around that?

[General Questions and Answers] stemuedendron:
Hello All!

Don't know if this is the right place.

I have a Medion LifeTab S10346 which is really a Lenovo LifeTab S1034x. Its an Intel Atom Z3735F tablet with Android 4.4

It has an USB-OTG port and I try to boot Linux:

- I have connected an powered USB-Hub to the USB-OTG port

- I have connected a keyboard and a USB-Stick to the hub

- on the stick is Ubuntu 14.04 64bit live (GPT partition with fat32)

Now I can turn the tablet on while pressing Vol+ and Power so it boots in the efi shell. Here I can:

map -r //find the stick
fs1: //change to the stick
cd EFI
cd BOOT
grubx64.efi //start grub

Now I'm in grub and can use it the usual way and can start booting ubuntu but as soon as I start booting the LEDs on my hub goes out. The linux kernel starts an I see the typically messages on the screen but it can not load the root filesystem and my keyboard is dead so it stays in a minimal shell.

So my question is:

It is generally possible to boot a live linux this way or is it a big mistake I'm trying for?

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] Cherubim:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pacmanninja998:
Things you should know:

Rooted S4 running 4.4.2 (stock kernal)

So first off I torrent a lot so may be the songs, but affected songs from different source all have the same weird noise....

Second I bought a 130 GB SD card off eBay for $20

Third about a month ago before this I started noticing this problem, I corrupted my SD by unmount in it because I was having app installation issues. [Fixed that problem] and I plugged the SD card into my laptop and ran a Windows program through cmd that wiped the drive and fixed it. And I whent ahead and formatted it once I put it back in my S4.

May be a dead giveaway but occasionally Camera pics saved to my SD card, a grey bar starting from the bottom covers up the image and then after a while says corrupt. But only occasionally not on all pictures...

Finally it's rooted and I wanted to be able to edit my music on the SD card, so I ran NextApp SD Fix.

Background:

Once the drive wiped, I lost all my music. So I took to tormenting to get my music back... Though I did not have an SD card reader on my laptop and for some reason have trouble connecting my phone to it I had to transfer my songs on a thumb drive. First batch, I already had the SD card out so I transferred about 3GB worth of music on that directly. Next I transfered directly to the SD through my phone (USB to transfer from computers).

Question:

Songs from both batches where experiencing weird sounds *hard to explain* permanently in the song on my phone, but not original computer. Is this due to my SD card being faulty, an issue transferring, or the fact that I used SDFix?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boulev:
Hello, I've been having some problems with a G Pad the past few days.

It started with the whole device freezing with a "Home" application FC. I rebooted by long pressing the power button, and cleared the launcher cache and data to hopefully fix this. The next day, it starts complaining about a faulty SD card (which I later confirmed works fine on my PC). I took it out and rebooted, and watched the bootanimation for ten minutes before getting tired of waiting. I put the card back in and tried again and got the same result.

The Pad isn't mine, so I'd preferably get through without resetting it or flashing something that would void thr warranty. Is this possible? So far I haven't even been able to get to the recovery or connect with adb in some way.

Any help would be appreciated.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleekmason:
can you describe what home application you have/what kind of error? Also is your SD card formatted FAT 32 or exFAT or something else entirely? This tablet will only work with fat32 out of the box, even though exFAT is supposed to be supported.

simply installing something from the Play Store shouldn't cause a problem. It could be a defective tablet unless there's something else you need to tell us?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boulev:
The "Home" application is the pre-installed LG launcher. The SD card is formatted to exFAT, but I don't see why this would brick the tablet, especially since it has been working with the SD card for a long time (about half a year, I believe). And now it doesn't work no matter whether there's an SD card inserted or not.

I think we'll try doing a factory reset later, and see what happens. If it still doesn't work after that, I'm pretty sure it can be returned with the warranty.

Lens Scratches

Put a tiny drop of water on the lens and gently rub the corner of a credit card onto the lens. I had the same issue with my HTC One M8 lens and performed the same method and its crystal clear now.

PS: Don't rub hard or you break the lens glass.
[Xperia Z2 General] monry:
Some people use toothpaste and it works good but..

Like someone said earlier it's there for a purpose. It's the anti-reflective coating and when you will rub it off the quality of photos will deteriorate in direct light, no question about that. It won't be that much visible but you should know about that before you do it, not after.
[Xperia Z2 General] effective:
Any way sony could fix that for us? Or someone tried to give his Z2 to sony centre and get an replacement camera glass? (btw the picture u gave is zoomed only not taken with/without ar coating. And about cleaning it..im too afraid that i could scratch the glass itself.

Just read abit for that problem.It occurs to every phone with AR coating camera glass and the problem is that the lens is exposed to excessive amount of sun light of heat,the AR coating will start cracking itself cos of the hight temperature.Lots of users reproted that the AR coating started to flake off and their pictures began to get blurry.Cleaning the lense glass with alcohol will do the job and bring the sharpness to your pictures,but will affect the light influence in the pics. I will personaly try giving my phone for repair/replacement.
[Xperia Z2 General] monry:
Nope, look carefully at the position of cars, guardrails etc.

Sony doesn't want to repair this (they say it's a user fault - bad usage of phone) just like HTC (One M8 have a much bigger issue with this coating on One M8).

To repair this you need to replace back panel, lens cover is integrated.

That's not entirely true. Every good camera lenses have this coating. After long usage it may start to flake if it's poor quality. Another reason may be bad treating with chemicals.

In smartphone department quality of this coating is not as good (in most cases whole smartphone is cheaper than proper camera lenses). When there is some problem at manufacturing stage (like in One M8) or just very poor quality control (Z, Z1, Z2, compacts all have this problem) we see that this coating starts to flake very early. Sony and HTC should repair this, but they can say that you used chemicals cleaning your phone and destroyed it yourself and you can't do much about it.

Heat from excessive amount of sun light can be a reason too, but mostly in sunglasses left in direct sunlight for too long. In camera lenses (standalone or smartphone) destroyed coating is a result of bad manufacturing and bad usage, MOSTLY - not always of course.
[Xperia Z2 General] effective:
I guess the only thing i can do is to wipe it off and deal with it than.No guarantee that if i get an replacement (which wont happen) the ar coaing wont flake off again. :silly: Strange is that i have an ZR as well - dived in salt water and stuff with it and the coating its perfectly fine..

Ok.Just to share with you guys.Ive removed the AR coating (or what was left of it) and the glass is crystal clear now , as the pictures i made from now on.They are sharp without distorsion and noise or blury.It helped me alot.The only disatvantage is that if direct sunlight fell on an object that you want to snap.It will get abit blurry,shiny.But there is a fix for that too.If you want to focus that object,just zoom abit,step closer to it,or fix the exposure of the picture before taking it.These things will do the job perfectly.Cheers.
[Xperia Z2 General] TailsNeon556:
I used a dab of toothpaste and a cotton swab. Took the scratched and blurry coating off without damaging the camera lens. Rinse afterward. I would advise against using any harsh chemicals.

i had the same problem and i want to advise you before you do anything please read...i had 2 tiny dot-scratches on my lens and on the pictures i couldnt see anything like blur on smthng like that...but i didnt really understand how it was scratched as i was very cearfull with my phone...nevermind.. i saw this thread and i thinking of trying cause i think everyone who tried , said that it worked...well, i took 93% alcohol with a paper and i tried to brush it off and i didnt press it that much...than i cleaned it off and i saw the lens all blured with a layer of scratches...i thought that 93% was too much and i distroyed the lens ...so i tried again because i had nothing more to lose...i pressed it more (not too much) and i did it for about 2 minutes non stop and then it was cristal clear... only on the sides on the lens there was just some left because the paper couldnt reach there ...now its fine....so my advise is : if you have just a tiny little scretch or dot or something on the lens but you DONT see any kind of blur i the photos you take,then dont do it...if you have many of them,and its visible on the photos you take,then i would do it...the only problem is that when you capture something like a light,its a bit brighter than it should...i hope i helped
[Xperia Z2 General] monry:
I've got this replaced under warranty. It's the best way AFAIK
[Xperia Z2 General] your_login:
one simple question : for what reason would you want to remove the coating ? even if it is 'scratched' off a bit, or not fully complete on the lenses, it still works a little bit. If you remove it completely you get rid of the good effect it has completely too.

so why even bother with this ? its either warranty or you shouldnt even touch it i guess...
[Xperia Z2 General] VaLee:
I got a similar problem but it's not that bad yet. At first I thought I got a stain on the inside of the lens but after I read this topic it looks like the UV coating peeled off in a corner. Phone is 8 months old.

I'm just wondering why they didn't put the coating on the inside of the glass.
[Xperia Z2 General] _delice_doluca_:
My camera lens is looking like a sky with many small clouds. So, it is not technically scratches but more like local off peelings. Even though the coating is thinner than a millimeter, being so close to the camera, it makes an undeniable difference to the thickness of the glass and courses it to lose focus. No matter what I do,it is no longer possible to achieve a perfectly focused, sharp and clear photo as the auto focusing mechanism is fooled by different thickness everywhere on the glass surface.

Basically, I can gladly sacrifice my over brightness protection for a good focused and detailed result.

Try to wipe it with 90% alcohol
[Xperia Z2 General] Tete_360:
Sorry for bumping up this old topic (if that's a problem here at all) but I have the same issue.

Yesterday while I was checking on the camera to make sure it's fully shiny and clean before taking a shot, I noticed 2 very tiny scratches which really upset me ever since.

I tried looking up on google for possible solutions, so I found this solution (or rather not a solution at all), which is -as always- the toothpaste. I grabbed a cotton swab, put it in a toothpaste and rubbed it gently against the camera lens. But it never worked. Tried different toothpaste, repeated several times and still nothing. Instead, it made one of the two scratches more visible which has upset me even more.

I unfortunately can't upload photos due to the policy that prevents new users to post outside links without having at least 10 posts.

As for the alcohol solution, I don't think I want my camera to be affected by the light, in addition, I don't really think I can find it where I live.

Any effective solution please?
[Xperia Z2 General] Knutselmaaster:
I sent my z2 to Sony as I had the same problem, in the third month after I bought it and they changed it for free.

The new lens had the same problem and even quicker than the first one so I don't bother anymore to send it back again.

It is a shame because, as stated above, it makes the focus bad in certain situations.

I never managed to get it all off and the remaining parts don't come off by itself.

Almost every camera phone has this coating, this is IMO a necessary evil. I even have this purple coating on my samsung and old HP point and shoot although they are not scratched because of the lens cover automaticaly closing after use and lens is not so much exposed. I remember LG G2 having this problem, too. And when people removed the coating pictures got purple hue. S4 did not have scratches at all though but you could see the coating on there. HTC sensation got those annoying clouds, too. But on all of them this didn't seem to affect the picture quality at all. It seems to be only an aesthetic issue. I have "hazy" lens looking at it from certain angles but picture quality is superb, day, night shots all look even better than my colleagues Z3+, and he's lense is scratched, too.
